Chapter 182: Reminiscence

“……

May the wind be me

May that month be me

The willow bottom flying flower is me

Sing to the wine

Be a free and easy me

Ignore the world and say I am

Just be your true self

……”

Accompanied by the music of "Be a Real Me", Zhou Huimin walked into a small video store alone. Looking at the various brightly packaged records on the shelves, Zhou Huimin walked up to the boss and asked, "Uncle, is there a tape of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?" ”

"Huh?" The fat boss who was watching TV was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's sold out early in the morning, if you want to buy it, come early tomorrow." ”

Zhou Huimin was not surprised to hear this answer, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is an album jointly produced by Xu Yijie and Lin Qingxia, which was sold out as soon as it was listed, and it is still difficult to find it in the area, and it is normal for this small video store to be out of stock at this time.

"Hey, little sister, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is sold out, but I still have "Incompatible"!" Seeing that Zhou Huimin seemed to have some intention of leaving, the fat boss immediately solicited: "This is Teresa Teng's first Cantonese album, you must buy it." ”

"Thank you, boss, but I've already bought this album." Zhou Huimin chuckled and rejected the fat boss's "kindness".

"Forehead......" The fat boss was slightly stunned, then pointed twice and said, "Then you can look at it and pick it at will." ”

Zhou Huimin didn't reply this time, but smiled and began to patrol the video store, and picked up an album from time to time to check it.

But......

"Amin, Amin!" Ye Yuqing ran in with a shout, and instantly destroyed the atmosphere in the video store.

Zhou Huimin put down the album in his hand and asked helplessly, "Did you get the movie ticket?" ”

"Nonsense, of course I got it." Ye Yuqing said with a smug face: "It just so happened that a family refunded the ticket for the next game, so I took two." Otherwise, the two of us will have to wait for more than three hours. ”

"Oh." Zhou Huimin replied with a word rather blandly.

"Forehead......" Ye Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Are you unhappy?" ”

"No, I'm happy."

Ye Yuqing raised her eyebrows and asked with a look of disbelief: "Then why did you reply with an 'oh' word?" ”

"And what should I go back to?" Zhou Huimin said slowly: "Holding you and shouting for a while? I'm not crazy...... oops! You scoundrel! ”

Zhou Huimin exclaimed again, but it was Ye Yuqing who stretched out her salty pig hand again. However, the two of them fell silent in an instant, but the fat boss who was watching TV was startled by Zhou Huimin's exclamation, and was looking at them with an unhappy face.

Ye Yuqing pushed Zhou Huimin and said softly: "Amin, let's go out for a walk......

"Bang dang!"

The glass door of the video store was pushed open at once, and four or five students walked in, only to see the leading student boy shouting at the fat boss: "Fat Chicken, Fat Chicken, do you have the tape I want?" ”

"What a fat chicken, it's called Fat Brother!" The fat boss replied babblingly.

"Ann la, what is it called?" The student waved his hand casually and asked, "Where's my tape?" ”

The fat boss muttered a few words without hesitation, then squatted down and took out four or five boxes of tapes from under the cabinet and put them on the counter, and said casually: "Oh, it's all here." ”

"Wow, what a tape of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!"

"Brother Ren still has a way."

"Yesterday, I wanted to borrow Ah Zhen's tape to listen to it, but it turned out that the dead nose was about to go to the sky!"

"I like Xu Xijie the most, thank you Brother Ren."

"What, I'm going to Lin Qingxia inside."

“……”

Before the leading student could speak, the three or four followers behind him rushed to the counter and grabbed the tape, and then a compliment popped out of the mouths of the three or four guys.

"Alright, alright." Brother Ren raised his hands and pressed them like a big man, and said with a smug face: "Now that we have got the tape, we will go to the movies, who should treat you today?" ”

"Ah Yu Ah Yu, I was invited by Xiao Ji Ji yesterday." One of the four-eyed boys in the student boy immediately said.

"Then let's go, Ah Yu, go buy a ticket!" Brother Ren pushed the fish, and then shouted at the fat boss as he walked out, "Fat chicken, thank you today." ”

"Ahh

The fat boss looked at the backs of a few people who pushed the door out and took a sip fiercely. However, he was just about to sit down and continue watching TV, but he caught a glimpse of Zhou Huimin, who was standing not far away with a cloudy face.

"Aha, little sister." The fat boss laughed dryly, touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "The tape of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is really sold out, and those people just now booked it yesterday. ”

"Scheduled?" Zhou Huimin frowned and asked, if this tape is really something that those people ordered yesterday, then he really has no reason to be angry.

The fat boss nodded and suddenly stretched out his right hand, rubbing his index finger with his thumb while lowering his voice and saying, "Originally, I only accept reservations from acquaintances. But see what you want, so let's do it, as long as you add a dozen or so, I'll definitely keep it for you first. ”

"Annihilator!"

This was not said by Zhou Huimin, but Ye Yuqing interjected, only to see her pointing to the album promotional poster at the door of the store and saying: "A cassette tape only costs 18 Hong Kong dollars, fat uncle, you are good, you have to add 10 Hong Kong dollars, you are an authentic ......"

"Hey! Hey! How does the little sister speak. The fat boss hurriedly interrupted Ye Yuqing's words, stood up straight and said: "How can this be called a businessman, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it is completely a fair deal." ”

"Fair fart!" Ye Yuqing rarely burst into a foul language, and continued while dragging Zhou Huimin out: "Amin, don't make any reservations, I have this tape at home, and I'll send it to you." Let's go, let's watch the movie now! ”

"Ahh

Looking at the backs of Zhou Huimin and the others who pushed the door out, the fat boss took another spit.

………………

3 p.m., Yau Ma Tei, Leung Kee Tea Restaurant.

At this time, it was just after lunch, and the afternoon tea was not busy, and there were very few customers in the tea restaurant. Sister Fen was burying her head in the cashier to settle the accounts, and suddenly felt a dark shadow in front of her, so she asked without raising her head, "What's the food?" ”

"Pretty girl, a bowl of wonton noodles!" The visitor replied simply.

Hearing this familiar tone, Sister Fen raised her head and smiled: "Ah Xuan, you stinky boy, you have a lot of courage after not seeing you for two months, you dare to tease the eldest sister." ”

"Haha." Li Xuan laughed and said, "How dare I tease Sister Fen, you go and ask Brother Liang to see if he admits that you are a beautiful girl." ”

"He dares not to admit it!" Sister Fen glanced at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression: "So, where did I tease Sister Fen." ”

"Alright, let's go in and sit, you little slippery!" Sister Fen waved her hand helplessly, and then shouted to the back kitchen: "Brother De, give Xuan Tsai a bowl of cloud noodles and put less wonton." ”

“……”

Li Xuan was speechless for a while, this Sister Fen, how can anyone eat wonton noodles and put less wonton?

"Huh? Ah Xuan is here. Brother De poked his head out of the back kitchen and glanced at Li Xuan, then retracted his head and shouted, "Wait a minute, it'll be right away!" A bowl of wonton noodles is less wonton. ”

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, turned his head and saw a fifteen-year-old girl sitting in an empty seat studying in the store, and then walked over.

"Brother Xuan." The girl saw Li Xuanxian and screamed weakly.

"Well, Xiaolian is here to help her father again." Li Xuan nodded in response, and continued: "By the way, what about your brother?" ”

Xiaolian sighed helplessly, leaned on the table and said, "My brother is going to take the Secondary 7 entrance examination today, and he is being locked up at home by my father to study." It's scary to think about, I'm about to hit the seventh ......, oops, dad, what are you doing on my head! ”

"Bang!"

Brother De put a bowl of wonton noodles in front of Li Xuan, glared at his daughter and said, "Terrible? It's terrible, it's all for your good. It's good to get ahead in college these days, do you want to be a chef like me for the rest of your life? ”

Xiaolian pursed her mouth helplessly, and whispered, "Brother Xuan hasn't gone to college either." ”

"What did you say?" Brother De obviously didn't hear Xiaolian's muttering clearly, and asked loudly.

"Nothing!"

"There's nothing to study." Brother De pointed to the table next to him and continued, "I'll talk to your brother Xuan. ”

"What kind of person, what a ......?"

Xiaolian muttered again, picked up the books on the table and walked to the next table. Li Xuan took the chopsticks and flicked the wonton noodles twice, then looked at Brother De and smiled: "Brother De, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, your kid is all in seven." ”

"yes." Brother De also replied with a lot of feelings.

Secondary schools in Hong Kong follow the British education system, which takes seven years to study. According to the modern understanding, Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 are equivalent to the current junior high school, Secondary 4 and 5 are equivalent to senior high school, and Secondary 6 and 7 are so-called preparatory courses, which are subjects in which students prepare for university. Therefore, Form 7 is the last year of secondary school in Hong Kong, and only after completing this and passing the examination can you go on to a three-year university.

Nowadays, college students in Hong Kong are a rarity, and many of them have not finished Secondary 5 and 6, such as Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei under Li Xuan. And Brother De is now desperately providing for his children to go to college, but he is similar to those mainland parents in later generations, and he has a heart of hope for his son to become a dragon.

"By the way, Brother De, didn't you do patriotism here?" Li Xuan just glanced at the back kitchen casually, but found that the person who brushed the dishes had become a middle-aged aunt he didn't know.

As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, Brother De laughed casually: "He is a young man, and he can still brush dishes here for the rest of his life." It just so happened that there was a newly opened tea restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui last month to hire a chef, and he studied with me for two years and understood a lot, so he went there to be a chef. ”

"Haha, congratulations to Brother De." Li Xuan arched his hand and smiled: "Another apprentice has come out." ”

"Oh, what congratulations or not, I haven't drunk master's tea." Brother De waved his hand casually, and suddenly looked at Li Xuan with curiosity on his face and said, "Eh, Ah Xuan, let me ask you something." ”

Li Xuan casually swallowed a wonton and replied, "Huh? What's up? ”

"I heard that you were also at the scene on the day Wang Yu was killed." Brother De asked with a gossip on his face: "Tell me what the situation was at that time?" ”
