Chapter 002: Old Sea Shrimp
"I am a green onion, standing in the wind and rain......"
In this situation, it is impossible not to make Zhang Tan feel that his situation is in harmony with this idiot's words.
Tan Mingxia, as he remembers, loves to nag his mother, really loves to nag, and she started to turn on the hair dryer in Zhang Tan's ear when she got up in the morning, and she didn't stop until she was about to reach the station.
"When you get to Shuangdun Middle School, work hard, you are not young, don't always treat yourself as a child, thinking that you can still play. If you don't study well in high school, you can't get into college, and your whole life will be ruined. Shuangdun Middle School is so far away, your father and I are not by your side, no one cares about you, you have to take care of yourself......"
Listening to his mother's nagging, Zhang Tan carried a schoolbag and dragged a suitcase with pulleys, Rao still felt incredible after a day and a night of adaptation.
I actually returned to my first year of high school.
The dilapidated streets, the old faΓ§ade houses, and the familiar round minibus in front of him all brought him a different feeling, which was 2001, fifteen years ago.
"Mom."
Zhang Tan suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at his "young" parents, and smiled: "I don't want to study anymore." β
Tan Mingxia paused for a moment, and then slapped Zhang Tan's head: "Stinky boy, if you don't study, you might as well die!" β
"If you have something to say, Mom." Zhang Tan hugged his head and scurried a few steps, forgetting how many years he had not been beaten by his mother, "Then I'll go to school." β
"There is still such a thing as studying! Either go to Shuangdun Middle School to study, or repeat a year at home, and still have the opportunity to choose while you haven't signed up yet. Tan Mingxia looked at Zhang Tan, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became.
Zhang Quanshun stood aside, carrying a large bag with a camouflage pattern, and did not speak. Like many fathers who are not good at communicating with their children, Zhang Quanshun and Zhang Tan, the father and son, usually have very little communication, except for talking about things, basically nothing to say, let alone talking about the heart.
When he was a child, he didn't understand his father very well, but as he got older, he understood more and more that his father also had abundant feelings, but he was ashamed to express them.
Nagging mother, Mu Ne's father.
Zhang Tan felt that it was good to be reborn, so he couldn't help but step forward and hugged his mother: "Mom, don't worry, my son is already sensible, and he will work hard in the future, study hard, and make progress every day." β
After speaking, he let go of his stunned mother and hugged his father again.
The father was obviously as surprised as the mother, and even a little evasive, hugging his son, which was almost never seen in his life.
In fact, Zhang Tan is also a little unaccustomed to it, but now he really wants to hug them.
The hug lasted for a short time, almost at the touch of a touch, and took the big bag from the shoulders of the surprised father and carried it on his back, Zhang Tan waved his thin arms with some difficulty: "Mom, Dad, take care, I'm leaving." β
I want to pretend to be very chic, but really, the bag is a bit heavy.
Fortunately, the minibus was in front of me, and after walking a few steps, I got on the bus. The conductor's aunt was very enthusiastic and helped to pick up the big bags and suitcases and stuff them into the trunk.
"Be careful on the road, don't fall asleep." Tan Mingxia, who came back to her senses, shouted.
"Yes."
Looking at her son's slightly emaciated back, Tan Mingxia said to Zhang Quanshun a little blankly: "Dad, have you noticed that Yang Yang seems to have changed a little?" It wasn't like this before...... It's not good, it's just different. β
Yang Yang is Zhang Tan's nickname, named after his grandfather, who was a retired veteran cadre of the former commune, who liked to drop his bookbag and talk at home. On the day Zhang Tan was born, it happened to be windy, and on the way to the town health center, his grandfather dragged the sentence "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying", so Zhang Tan's nickname was called Yangyang.
Later, when he was registered, his grandfather planned to let him be called "Zhang Feiyang", but he felt that "Zhang Feiyang" was too crazy, and the name should be low-key. At this time, Tan Mingxia, who is usually more spicy, also had some ideas about her son's surname, and in the end, I didn't know who came up with the idea, so according to Zhang Quanshun and Tan Mingxia's respective surnames, Zhang Tan made a nondescript name.
Since then, the big name Zhang Tan has become famous.
Zhang Quanshun was also a little stunned by his son's sudden hug, but he was a little careless after all, and he didn't feel much change in Zhang Tan: "Fifteen, it's time to be sensible." β
"Anyway, I feel that Yang Yang is a little different, I hope he is really sensible, junior high school is delayed, high school can not be delayed anymore, work hard, take a good school in the future, and we will worry less about dim sum." Tan Mingxia muttered quietly.
The other side.
Without the burden of hindering, Zhang Tan recovered his vigor, quickly rushed into the minibus, found an empty seat by the window, sat down, opened the window, and waved at his parents: "Go back." β
"Be careful on the road." Tan Mingxia repeated again.
"Hmm."
Tan Mingxia wanted to say something more, but there were more and more people in the car, and during the school season, almost all parents came to see off their children, making a lot of noise, and blocking back what she was going to say. can only be outside the crowd, looking at his son who is suddenly "sensible", trying to warn him with his eyes to be careful on the road.
A few minutes later, the minibus started slowly, leaving the parents far away.
Zhang Tan looked at his parents who gradually disappeared around the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he went to high school is actually a big reason because he doesn't know how to get along with his "young" parents, and he hasn't completely adapted to returning to his teenage years, and he needs some unfamiliar space to digest the estrangement in front of him.
After all, he is no longer the ignorant fifteen-year-old Zhang Tan.
β¦β¦
The scenery on the road has an old taste, but Zhang Tan was not able to appreciate it well.
Rushing from the hometown Gangji Town to Shuangdun Town, although they are all towns under the jurisdiction of Changfeng County, they are still next to each other, but there is no direct road, and they have to make a detour to Heqi City. Gangji Town is on the side of National Highway 206 and Hehuai Road, and Shuangdun Town is on the side of County Road and Heshui Road. Take a bus from Gangji Town to Xinya Bus Station, and then transfer from Xinya Bus Station to Chang Luck Station, and then take the bus to Shuangdun from Chang Luck Station.
In 2001, the city of Heqi, the construction had just begun, the roads were in tatters, and the repairs were being repaired, and it was difficult to walk.
As a second-tier city, even in the city, there are not many buses now. Unlike in the future, buses extend in all directions, taxis, black-headed cars cross the river, and even subways and light rails will be available.
The bumpy carriage is crowded with people and the air is muddy.
Zhang Tan couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he could only hold his schoolbag and sort out his thoughts. When he woke up yesterday, he found himself back on August 31, 2001, and then he was so busy understanding his environment that he didn't have time to release all kinds of thoughts, and it was difficult to think about what he should do next.
Studying, to be honest, it was hard for him to believe that he would honestly finish three years of high school, and then study hard to get into a good school.
People in their thirties, I understand that I am not the material for studying, not when I was a child, and I still don't have to live again, at most I will try my best to take two books, even if it is a great blessing.
And he doesn't feel like he needs to rely on college to win his future.
"It's not realistic to make a movie yet...... As for singing, it seems that I sing at an amateur level, and it's okay to write lyrics, but it's a bit troublesome to compose music, and I have to learn it again...... Write novels, I have been a book for more than ten years, and I can always write several novels. However, it seems that online novels have not yet risen much, and traditional publishing of martial arts and fantasy is the right way. β
"It's a pity that I'm a poor student now, and my family has to support my sister and me to study, and I'm so poor. Otherwise, taking the money out to open a few Internet cafes is definitely a big profit, even if you don't open an Internet cafΓ©, you can make money by doing some small business. In this era, it is the decade of China's rapid economic development, and gold is everywhere! β
The details of history have become plausible, but the general trend has not changed.
"It should be difficult to persuade my parents to borrow money to do business, but if I remember the results correctly, my father will be laid off in less than half a year. The grain station was privately contracted, and all the employees were bought out, and the buyout price seemed to be 20,000 or 30,000...... Maybe I can let my dad take the money out and open an Internet cafΓ©. β
"Soon "Legend of Blood" is coming, this Korean kimchi game is popular all over China, and how many children have entered the Internet cafΓ© This point of no return."
"Let's wait."
Zhang Tan thought with some confidence.
If the details of history had not changed, he would have planned everything with confidence, but in this situation, who knows which corner history has turned. What if the Internet cafΓ© doesn't catch fire, what if "Legend of Blood" disappears?
"For the time being, what I have to do is to adapt to being a student, and then write a novel, send it to the publishing house, and make a little money. I have money in my hand, and I don't panic. β
Thinking about it, Zhang Tan took out the money he brought from his pocket and counted it over and over again.
A total of 1,500 yuan, of which 800 yuan is tuition, 400 yuan is accommodation fees, 200 yuan is Zhang Tan's living expenses for a month, and the remaining 100 yuan, of which his grandfather gave 80, and 20 of which he made by catching "old sea shrimp" during the summer vacation.
The "old sea shrimp" is actually not a sea shrimp, but a crayfish in the inner estate, wearing a red hard shell, showing teeth and claws, not afraid of people at all.
This kind of crayfish is not big, vertical and horizontal fields, ponds, ditches, very easy to catch, and then the price is quite expensive, more than a pound. Brush it with a toothbrush and stir-fry it to taste particularly crispy. If you don't want to stir-fry dry, you can peel out the shrimp and cook it into a shrimp paste, which can make people eat two large bowls of white rice.
But now, it seems that eating crayfish is not as popular as in later generations.
In the future, Heqi is known as the freshwater lobster capital of China, and lobster food has become a business card of Heqi.
