When I got home, it was six o'clock in the evening, and the family had already prepared a meal, Liu Ziguang briefly recounted the things in the provincial city while eating, and heard that the future daughter-in-law was resolute and willing to follow her son with all her heart, and the old couple were relieved.

"Three years is three years, take advantage of these three years to make some money, the house price may fall a little, and I can buy you a bigger two-bedroom apartment." Parents say so.

As for Deputy Director Yuan's obstruction, Liu Ziguang persuaded him like this: "Fang Fei's parents have already agreed to divorce, this old lady has not fulfilled her obligations to be a mother at all, and the old man Fang didn't say anything, when it was her turn to speak, let's ignore her." ”

……

Liu Ziguang ate dinner, and then went out for a stroll in slippers, and as soon as he walked out of the alley, someone called out to him from behind: "Liu Ziguang." ”

When I looked back, it was a ** in my thirties, carrying a bag, looking at him with a smile.

"Are you...... Liu Xiaojing? Liu Ziguang couldn't believe his eyes, Liu Xiaojing was also his junior high school classmate, everyone was a child of Chenguang Factory, living in a miscellaneous courtyard, attending school, and in the same class, speaking of which, she was still Liu Ziguang's ignorant first love, of course, it was just unrequited love.

In the past, the innocent little girl with pigtails is now obviously blessed, and there are some shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, obviously not very well maintained, this is the tempering of the years, Liu Ziguang can't help but sigh.

"Hehe, you remember me well. Tidying up," Liu Xiaojing walked over and looked at him with a smile, "I heard that you are back, where are you doing now?" ”

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've been back, and now I'm doing property work, right for you."

"I'm working as an accountant in Darun City, it's raining these days, I'm worried about the leakage of the old house, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect to meet you, what a coincidence."

The two talked and left, it turned out that Liu Xiaojing also lived in Gaotupo, and later moved away when she got married, and then took her parents over to live here, and the old house here was empty, and occasionally came to have a look.

The two walked side by side for a while, and when they came to the alley, a gray domestic sedan was quietly parked on the side of the road, and the person in the car saw his daughter-in-law walking with a strange man, and quickly came out, looking at Liu Xiaojing suspiciously.

"Husband, who is this?" Liu Xiaojing beckoned.

The man walked over, helped his glasses, and looked at Liu Ziguang carefully, Liu Ziguang also looked at his straight navy blue trousers, black Lilang business men's clothes, his head was parted, his head was meticulous, and a pair of delicate gold wire glasses were on the bridge of his nose, which looked like a person with status.

"Liu Ziguang!"

"Zhou Wen!"

The two recognized each other at the same time, it turned out that Liu Xiaojing's husband was also Liu Ziguang's junior high school classmate, and he also had a crush on Liu Xiaojing back then.

"Tsk, I didn't expect Xiaojing to be married by you, how old is the child?" Liu Ziguang took out Zhongnanhai and asked Zhou Wen to draw.

"Come on, come and smoke me." Zhou Wen looked at Liu Ziguang's cigarette case, pushed it over with a smile, and took out his own gold Nanjing to smoke Liu Ziguang.

"How about a car that my child bought when he was three years old and went to school so that he could go to school." Zhou Wen didn't care about greetings, and was very anxious to show off his new car in front of Liu Ziguang.

Liu Ziguang looked at this domestic sedan back and forth, except for the relatively trendy appearance, he really couldn't see any doorway, so he had to boast: "Not bad!" ”

"It's not just good, it's just a god car, Chery A3 four-link **, the rear suspension comes with EPS active anti-skid system, front and rear all-steel bumpers, designed by Italian famous designers, such a kind configuration, if it is an imported brand, at least more than 150,000." Zhou Wen's eyebrows danced, his eyes were shining, and it seemed that he was not buying a car, but a second-room daughter-in-law.

"Not bad, yes, really good." Liu Ziguang hurriedly praised and asked: "Zhou Wen, you are doing well, you have become a car family, where do you work?" ”

The excitement in Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly dimmed, and Liu Xiaojing said on the side: "Zhou Wen works in the sub-district office, and the salary is not high, but he is a civil servant who guarantees income in drought and flood. ”

"Don't mention the little clerk, I don't want to do it anymore when I look at people's faces all day long." Zhou Wenyan said insincerely, but Liu Ziguang could see a trace of pride on his face, of course, in front of these laid-off workers in Gao Tupo, the little clerk was also beyond their reach.

"Yes, the land in the kindergarten can't be rented out recently, Zhou Wen is under a lot of pressure, in fact, what is the matter with him, the section chief doesn't care, let us Zhou Wen manage it." Liu Xiaojing said.

Liu Ziguang moved in his heart and asked: "Is it the land of Gymboree Kindergarten, if the price is right, I want to rent it." ”

"You?" Zhou Wen looked at Liu Ziguang in disbelief: "Even if that land is haunted, the price will not be low, if you have friends you know and want to rent, you can find me." ”

Zhou Wen said and took a business card to Liu Ziguang, and then he remembered and asked, "By the way, Liu Ziguang, where do you work?" ”

"I'm working in Zhicheng Group."

"Oh, that company is quite big, if you have high-level acquaintances, it's best to let them pay to rent that place, and I'll invite you to drink."

"Okay, I see." Liu Ziguang put away the business card, Zhou Wen and Liu Xiaojing got into Chery A3, waved at him, and drove away in gear and reversing with rusty movements.

After sending these two people away, Liu Ziguang took a few steps forward, squatted in front of Uncle Guo's car repair stall, handed over a cigarette and said, "Uncle, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, how can you get ready?" ”

Uncle Guo was mending a bicycle with calloused tires in his hands, holding a file in his hand, and said happily: "How can I buy two packs of moon cakes as before, and then buy a ham sausage for Xiaosi and a few puppies." ”

Guo Xiaosi, who was sleeping on the side, sat up very well, and walked over**Uncle Guo's hand whined twice in his throat, like a child coquettish. In the nest where he was lying on his stomach, four pink puppies were waiting to be fed.

Liu Ziguang took out five yuan and handed it to the puppy: "Guo Xiaosi will buy cigarettes." ”

Guo Xiaosi's eyes lit up, and he went to a nearby shop to buy cigarettes with the banknotes in his mouth, and Liu Ziguang said: "Uncle Guo, why don't you do this, celebrate the festival with us, I'll go to the hotel to charter a big room, and let's have a lively time." ”

"That's not good, I'm used to it alone." Uncle Guo smiled kindly.

"It's okay, it's decided, I'll pick you up at the Peace Hotel." Liu Ziguang said that he was just about to stand up, and suddenly stared at Uncle Guo's dark-colored coat curiously and said, "Uncle, the style of your gown is quite trendy, if it is washed and tidy, it will definitely be sharper than Brother Sharp." ”

Uncle Guo smiled and said: "Decades of old goods, there is no other benefit, that is, after tossing, waterproof, fireproof, windproof and cold, you can wear it all year round." ”

Liu Ziguang was surprised: "What kind of clothes is this?" ”

This blouse has been worn by Uncle Guo for a long time, and he can only vaguely see that the background color seems to be green, and it is covered with all kinds of oil sludge and dirt, but it is thicker, and the four very exaggerated large pockets, aluminum zippers, cool stand-up collars, and Uncle Guo's face full of ravines all show a sense of vicissitudes.

"Hehe, the old and beautiful military uniforms, they wear this thing regardless of the three armies." Uncle Guo said.

"Oh, I remember." Liu Ziguang suddenly realized, it seems that Rambo wore this in the first drop of blood in the movie.

Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous old man who repaired cars actually wore a Vietnam War version of M65, and looked carefully at the elbow cuffs, which should have been worn for decades, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but sigh, this old man who has been repairing bicycles in the alley since he was a child also has a glorious past, but he is so low-key and so ordinary that no one has ever paid attention to it.

When he was interested, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but observe Uncle Guo carefully, and what disappointed him was that in addition to this authentic military version of M65, Uncle Guo's other clothes were very ordinary, blue canvas pants, and liberation shoes were all bargains that could be bought in labor protection stores.

Suddenly, when Uncle Guo lowered his head to take the glue, the ** mouth flashed, Liu Ziguang noticed that it was a watch, and he wore it with a leather strip and hung it in the placket, and he asked curiously: "Uncle, why do you still wear a pocket watch?" ”

"It's not a pocket watch, it's a watch strap that breaks, so I'll find a rope to hang up." Uncle Guo said, took off the watch and showed it to Liu Ziguang, this is a very old Shanghai brand watch, the black dial is engraved with degrees on the outside, and the number symbols and hands inside are very thick, and it seems to be coated with a layer of fluorescent material. The dial 12 position is Shanghai's Chinese and Hanyu Pinyin trademark, at 6 o'clock is printed with 24 diamonds and Chinese-made words, and at 3 o'clock there is a small window to display the date, the watch is badly worn but still accurate, and the second hand is crackling.

"Hey, what kind of watch is this, it's pretty old." Liu Ziguang remembered that when he was a child, his father also had a Shanghai brand watch, which was the kind of elastic metal strap and steel case dial, and I heard that my father bought it when he got married.

"This watch." Uncle Guo took the watch and sighed, as if returning to the endless memories of the past, suddenly a piercing brake sound sounded in the distance, and then a terrible dog barked.

It's not good that Xiaosi was run over by a car! Uncle Guo and Liu Ziguang got up at the same time, but after all, Liu Ziguang's movements were faster, and he ran over to see a white BMW 52o crashing headlong into a tree, a pool of blood flowed out from under the car, and a woman in the driver's seat screamed: "Mom, scared me to death, whose dog!" ”
