Chapter 2 Looking back, it was like a dream
Su Can's family had dinner, and the time was less than five o'clock.
At this moment, it is summer, the small city of Pinghai in Xingcheng City is located in the north-east of the inland, the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River and the western edge of the Changliu Basin, belonging to the subtropical monsoon humid climate, affected by the tropical ocean air mass and the polar continental air mass, the difference between dry and wet in winter and summer is not big, the day is long, and the sunset is about seven o'clock.
Su Can felt that it was not very comfortable to be stuffy in the house, so he talked to Lin Anqin about going out to breathe, and by the way, he was familiar with the scenery and environment of this era.
After all, the Pinghai town ten years later and the current Pinghai town have changed very much.
Su Can's parents didn't catch up with the distribution at that time, nor did they catch up with the house division, but they caught up with the reform.
At that time, Premier Zhu put forward a set of ideas for the reform of the housing system, reforming the system of welfare housing, and made a breakthrough in housing reform.
People are crying, laughing, angry, and scolding, and the price of houses and buildings has risen to the level that people are most concerned about in their daily lives!
Fortunately, Su Can's parents caught the last train at the end of 98 and lived in a commercially allocated unit building, a residential building where every household has a private kitchen and toilet.
There is no need to share space with others, except for the staircase to get in and out of your own unit.
Su Can strolled in front of the open space of the unit building, full of old neighbors who had dinner and enjoyed the cool under the tree, and walked over to greet the uncles and aunts lively.
People in this era are very enthusiastic, and neighbors often come and go, helping each other in difficulties. It's not like living in the same building more than ten years later, and the indifferent ones don't even know their names.
Guzhang Street, that is, the street where Su Can's family has lived for more than ten years.
Looking up at a round of red sun hanging in the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, the units in golden, snow-white and gray-white tones are gilded with a warm golden hue, and the smell of the old days is diffused in the fluttering dust.
Telephone poles pull the power grid, dense wires cut through the clear sky, birds flutter by, and occasionally a novel taxi roars by, followed by a large field of chasing and laughing children.
And these are familiar and warm memories in my own mind.
It's just that later, with the development of the economy and the changes in society, it has long since changed over time and no longer exists.
Now reflected in his brown pupils, it seems extremely real and clear, this throbbing feeling of passing through time and space in a moment, makes him slightly numb from head to toe.
The year 1998 was both familiar and strange to him, and the events of 14 years ago had already become a distant memory, and all that could be remembered was the intermittent fragments.
Anyone who has read history knows that since 1979, a great man drew a circle on the South China Sea.
In the following 20 years or so, the planned economy became a market economy, and the rapid development of the domestic economy was very active.
In the 90s, there were also glorious years of repeated losses, and the K of hearts had achieved sales of 8 billion, and the crazy disc player market was surging, etc.
And after Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997, Su Can began to really care about politics for the first time.
But what Su Can needs to do most urgently is not to see the pride and excitement of the national flag being raised in Hong Kong and Macao, but how to get to know the girl who is smiling in her eyes again.
※※※
There are still more than ten days before the start of the second year of high school, and Su Can checked all the summer homework in each subject to avoid oolong incidents.
The rest of the time is to read books at home, do housework, do hygiene, run in the morning and exercise, and practice horizontal bar strength on the fitness equipment in the community at night.
Su Chengye and Lin Anqin were a little unaccustomed at first, thinking that he was just two or three minutes hot.
However, seeing that he persevered every day, he was relieved and very relieved, it seems that this child has grown up overnight and is a lot more sensible.
Ten days later in the evening.
Su Can was lying on his bed, his hands pillowed, thinking about something.
"School starts tomorrow, will I be assigned to Class 1 or Class 8? But one thing is for sure, Cheng Keshu and I are in the same class. ”
More than ten years ago, when he was in the first year of high school, Su Can, who was better at science, resolutely chose liberal arts, although it was later confirmed that he was not a student of liberal arts, but he also met Cheng Keshu, who accompanied him through his entire youth.
Su Can took a deep breath and calmed down the speculative excitement in his heart a little.
Of course, in the first year of high school, the two were not in the same class, and Cheng Keshu didn't know Su Can, so the two had no contact, so he had to leave a good impression on her after the class.
At least don't look at each other unpleasantly like before, until Cheng Keshu disappeared because of one thing, and her misunderstanding of Su Can disappeared.
He has not forgotten the era he lived in, his identity, and what he wanted to do.
Just like there is a fixed number of what age to do, if you are a student, you must ensure that your behavior does not appear too unusual, and you don't want to smoke, drink, or fight.
Of course, you must do well in your studies, otherwise no one wants to play with a bad student.
Su Can thought in his heart, those tablemates who once passed by, and the lovely girls who used to be good, have blurred their former appearances, and they have never been in touch again, and they can't cross paths again.
Now that God has given me a chance to go back to the past, I must cherish it even more.
"Come on, you'll be able to do it!" Su Can's heart surged.
The sky is just bright, the morning star is still dotted in the sky, there are chickens in the community are crowing, although it is forbidden to raise chickens in the community, but who knows about raising chickens in private, they are all blind and blind.
Lin Anqin got up at 5:40 and began to make breakfast in the kitchen, very simple boiled noodles, fragrant fried eggs, golden butter, and some chopped green onions.
Su Can got up in a daze, and subconsciously touched the mobile phone under the pillow, but there was nothing.
It's not 2015 anymore.
In Pinghai Town in the second half of 1998, mobile phones were only straight board machines with black and white screens. Models such as Motorola, Ericsson, and Philips are only available in first-tier cities in Star City.
A 168 model Motorola is worth about 12,000, which is only affordable for wealthy families.
In this era of no cell phones, no work, no 5-to-9.
All of a sudden, it changed from a tense life to a slow-paced life, and I felt a little relieved.
But Su Can had a contradictory feeling of loss and confusion.
Fortunately, Su Can is not the kind of sentimental person, and he quickly put on the right mood, because today is the beginning of school, and he has to welcome the new semester with a bright smile.
The buttons of the white short shirt are fastened, and the red and blue school uniform pants are put on, the pants look a little fat, and the body contour is a little thin.
Su Can shook his head, it seems that the intensity of exercising diligently every day should be strengthened, and he will do a few more sets of push-ups and sit-ups at night, and the body is the capital of the revolution.
He ran to the bathroom and got a basin of hot water to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and diligently helped Lin Anqin wipe the table and serve the dishes and chopsticks.
Eating steaming noodles, although the home is small but very warm, Su Can feels really happy at the moment, why didn't he know to cherish it before?
"Mom, eat more omelette." Su Can sandwiched an omelette and put it in Lin Anqin's noodle bowl.
"Son, are you not enough money to spend, let me tell you to know how to save money."
Lin Anqin looked at Su Can's courtesy, shook his head without being funny, took out ten yuan from his pocket, put it on the table and said, "Save some money." ”
Su Can scratched his head, picked up ten yuan, solemnly put it in his pocket, and said seriously: "Mom, you are so good!" ”
"Silly boy." Lin Anqin glanced at Su Can and said, "You're talking nonsense again, hurry up and eat noodles, it won't taste good when it's pasted." ”
Lin Anqin said again: "You can keep the tuition yourself, your father and I will start school today, so I won't accompany you to report, you know how to be sensible when you grow up, you have to be independent." ”
"Uh-huh, got it, Mom." Su Canmeng nodded, buried himself in eating noodles, but was silently muttering in his heart, the teacher's salary in 1998 was generally more than 300 yuan, and in terms of prices, one dime could buy ten fructose, and two cents could eat a bowl of noodles.
Ten yuan should still be able to buy a lot of things, unlike more than ten years later, after a hundred yuan is scattered, you can't do anything.
After breakfast, Su Can put on his newly bought schoolbag, brought all the tuition fees, stuffed the summer vacation homework of each subject into the schoolbag, tidied up his clothes, put on the red, blue and white No. 2 Middle School uniform jacket and went out.
Lin Anqin is also going out later, she is a teacher in a middle school, which is contrary to the school Su Can went to.
The sun is just right, the breeze is silent, and the young man with the mottled shadows of the trees in the old days stands in place, striding forward, and can still walk a long, long way.
