The alley where Chen Mo and his family live was built in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and since then, it has been a famous commercial district in Beijing. Although in the Qing Dynasty, there were two princes who settled here, but it did not affect the layout of their alley, but only made the composition of the alley more complicated. In addition to the original merchants, a lot of bannermen and coats were added later.

The ancestors of Chen Mo's family were businessmen who came to the capital from Shanxi to do business in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and bought a small courtyard with two entrances not far from the entrance of the alley on the east side. After more than 100 years of ups and downs, it was not until 20 years ago that the ownership of this courtyard was returned to his grandfather Chen Yizhou.

Although Chen Mo has lived in this courtyard since he was a child, he has moved away for more than a year in the middle. At that time, this courtyard had not been returned to their families, in addition to their big family, there were also four families, five or six families living together, and trivial things were constantly being done all day long.

At that time, there were two of the three rooms in the inverted house, one in the east and one in the east and west wings, and the main house was the residence of Chen Mo and his family. Because there are too many people living there, Chen Mo, his parents and second uncle have always wanted to move out. After the Asian Games ended, CNPC bought several buildings from the Asian Games Village as welfare housing. Chen Mo's father and second uncle were both small leaders of PetroChina, and the two families had a three-bedroom apartment with heating and natural gas, which was a first-class house at the time, so they all moved out of the yard.

But the new house brought Chen Mo no warm memories, and soon after moving, his parents divorced, and finally left the house to Chen Mo, and both of them left the house. His father took his new love to an oil pipeline bureau affiliated with an oil field in central China to become a leader, and his mother soon started a new family.

Chen Mo didn't want to face an empty new house, so he moved back to the old house and lived with his grandfather. Later, all the residents moved out, and only their grandparents were left in the courtyard. After their successive repairs, this courtyard has gradually become more and more livable, Chen Mo now completely no longer misses the new home with hot water heating, and is reluctant to leave this courtyard where he has lived since he was a child.

Now there are only two people living in this courtyard, Chen Mo and his grandfather, and the second uncle's family occasionally comes back to live, but they mainly live in An Huili, which is not only close to where he works, but also does not have to face the old man's scolding every day. is almost fifty years old, and he still eats the old man in front of his son every day, and his second uncle and second aunt, under normal circumstances, rarely go back to live in this old yard. This time, it was the old man's old illness that relapsed, he was admitted to the hospital, and he needed someone to take care of him, so his second uncle and his family moved back to live for a few days.

This small courtyard house, with a total area of nearly 400 square meters, has a total of 18 rooms, five main rooms with two ear rooms, three east and west wings, three inverted seats, and a large kitchen and a dining room. Living in five households seems crowded, but now that only Chen Mo and his grandchildren live, it seems much more empty.

After Chen Mo's father divorced, he took his new love to an oil field under PetroChina and became a leader in the local oil pipeline bureau. Although it is only a third-level company of PetroChina, it also belongs to a small prince, and on his territory, he is the boss, and he has no intention of returning to the capital at all. Everything that belongs to him here in the capital, when he re-established his family, he had already promised to leave it all to Chen Mo.

Because he is the eldest son and eldest grandson, Chen Mo lives in the east wing, which has been rebuilt and converted into a general room, with only one door, the entrance door is a living room, and the inside is his bedroom, and the innermost has been changed into a bathroom with a toilet. The three rooms in the west wing belonged to his second uncle's family, and the three of them lived there, so there was no condition to change the bathroom. If you want to take a bath and go to the toilet, you also need to go to the ear room next to the main house, so it is extremely inconvenient.

Chen Mo and his grandfather's usual activities are mainly in the main room. The two rooms on the west side of the main house had been converted into two guest rooms, and his father occasionally returned, and his aunt lived in them when she returned from abroad. The main room in the middle is the living room, and then to the east is the old man's study, and the last room on the east side is the old man's bedroom.

After venting to the sandbag and sweating profusely, Chen Mo stood in the courtyard and took off his clothes, took out his pockets, and threw them on the stone table under the grape trellis. "Why are you so honest today? Didn't go out to play?! ”

"I forgot to ask my mom for money today, and I wanted to ride your motorcycle for a ride, but I didn't even have the money for gas." Chen Zheng leaned over and said flatteringly: "Brother, discuss something with you......"

"If you want to borrow a motorcycle, it's hands-free, and you don't have a license, what should you do if something happens?!" Chen Mo opened the wallet in his hand, took out two large blue bills and handed them to him. "Save some flowers, but don't be stingy in front of your friends, wait for you to take a photo, and the motorcycle will ride with you in the future."

Chen Zhengxi took the money and stuffed it into his pocket. "My mother doesn't know where to hide my ID card, I can't get a photo without my ID card!"

"You're stupid, school will start in a few days, why don't you just find an excuse to go to the **?! Now the motorcycle driver's license is easy to handle, and it can be done for more than 100 yuan. Chen Zheng suddenly realized and smiled.

When it comes to driving motorcycles and driving, his younger brother Chen Zheng is much more talented than him, from childhood to adulthood, any car will be easily tamed in front of him, even the go-karts in the park, no one can compare to him.

The Harley that Chen Mo is riding now is a classic softtail version of the 94 model. This car was brought back by his uncle Yu Guobin when he returned from the United States in 96, and even through diplomatic channels, it saved a lot of tariffs, and still cost nearly 16,000 US dollars.

It is a pity that as soon as he returned to China, he was criticized by the leadership, believing that he was a diplomat who abused his power for personal gain and behaved very inappropriately. Coupled with the fact that diplomats represent the image of the country, driving a motorcycle does not fit the status of a solid public servant. As a result, the motorcycle, which had just completed the formalities, belonged to Chen Mo.

At that time, there were many people who competed with Chen Mo for the ownership of this motorcycle, including Yu Guobin's younger brother Yu Guohao. It's just that he couldn't get the purchase price of the motorcycle, and wanted to pick it up for nothing, but was sternly rejected by Chen Mo's aunt Chen Kangmei.

Of course, Chen Mo, who had just entered college, couldn't take out the money, but he had a good grandfather to support him, and seeing that Chen Mo didn't want to think about this motorcycle, he took 100,000 yuan and threw it in front of Yu Guobin, so he asked Chen Mo to drive the motorcycle home.

For three years, Chen Mo cherished this car as much as his girlfriend, and it is still preserved as new. When it comes to holidays, taking his grandfather to the suburbs and fishing, it is really useful for the grandfather and grandson to travel freely.

Chen Mo originally wanted to learn this 300-kilogram big guy, but it took half a month to get acquainted with it. But Chen Zheng, the little guy, never rode once, and once he secretly rode out, and he was only fifteen years old and was soon noticed by the police, but none of the five or six cars in front and behind could catch up with him.

It's just that this car is too conspicuous, there are only three in the whole capital, and the other two are in the hands of Matthew, the first secretary of the Dutch Embassy, and the other is in the hands of the Englishman Seamus, and their license plates are all black. That is to say, in the whole capital, there is only this one with the Beijing A yellow card. So, later, the traffic police still chased them home. At this time, the whole family knew that this kid had not touched the car for a day, and he actually drove this big guy for half of the capital, and also got rid of the six traffic policemen who followed him.

He was naturally beaten fat, but it also made Chen Mo have trust in his driving skills. So as long as he doesn't go too far and steals the motorcycle, Chen Mo shouldn't know. Now he is in a rebellious period, and sometimes the more he manages, the more rebellious he becomes.

Back in the house, Chen Zheng also followed. "Brother, are you going to see Zheng Jun and He Yong's special concert the day after tomorrow?! Would you like to take me with you?! ”

Chen Mo frowned, "How do you know?!" ”

"Brother Xiao Wei didn't get through to call you today, and he came to the house, saying that the tickets have been bought, didn't you buy two? Take me to see it. ”

"I also have a ticket for your sister Li Shan, and you didn't mention it earlier, I asked Wang Wei when I went back, I will take you with you if I have your ticket, and there is no way to do it without a ticket."

Chen Zheng hung his head and became dejected, "That's hopeless...... I knew it. ”

Chen Mo also ignored him, he was now the time when people were tired of dogs, there was no qualitative character, no matter about him, he would be fine again in a while.

In ninety-two, Roujia left, and in ninety-three years, his father had a cheating scandal, and since then, Chen Mo has never said a word to his father. Although Chen Jianguo made many amends, Chen Mo has always refused to forgive him. The departure of his lover and the collapse of his family have turned his life black.

During that period, he was obsessed with rock and roll, and the darker, more intense, decadent music attracted him. During the same period, it was also the golden age of Chinese rock music, starting from Cui Jian, a large number of outstanding musicians emerged in China. Zheng Jun, Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, He Yong, Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, etc., are their music that accompanied Chen Mo through his youth.

Rock is not music, but an attitude to life. This is Chen Mo's favorite sentence. If it weren't for the fact that there was a grandfather who needed him to take care of, this grandfather spared no effort to teach him, and even walked out of the study for him, took him to meet many big people, and educated himself with their experiences, maybe Chen Mo also became an underground musician who dropped out of school.

Even now, when Chen Mo is fine, he likes to hide in the room alone and pick out the score. It's just that his musical talent is really limited, although he can play the guitar and bass skillfully, although he also has a hoarse and good singing voice, but he has not written a good song so far. Even the longing and pain of Roujia were not enough for him to burst out of inspiration, and the only thing he learned was to enjoy the pain.
