Chapter 1: Qi Ming
Since he was reborn and woke up half a month ago, Qi Ming has finally adapted to the relatively slow pace of life twenty years ago.
At the same time, he also woke up to the fact that 1999 was really twenty years ago.
But when his life was reversed, Qi Ming found that his real feelings were completely different from those rebirth novels.
In my previous life, I didn't seem to have met a dead and alive girl who loved her, and I needed to arrange a long-lost reunion and unexpected encounter after being reborn.
As for regrets, everyone has them, and there is a line in the King of Sunglasses' movie: If there are no regrets in life, how boring it should be.
Qi Ming in his previous life was not the kind of guy who had a deep bitterness and hatred, worked hard for half his life and couldn't die well.
Although the conditions in the family were not good since he was a child, his parents never let Qi Ming go hungry or freeze.
Until the age of twenty, he belonged to the kind of young man who grew up in a greenhouse.
Maybe I'm a little rebellious at times, but I never do anything too out of the ordinary.
Under the education of his parents, Qi Ming did not develop the arrogant temperament of no one in his eyes.
is because he is an only son in the family since he was a child, and he is happy to be good-looking, and the neighbors and friends are happy to see him.
Under the nourishment of such human feelings for a long time, Qi Ming has developed a calm and confident personality that is not surprised.
Academically, it is smooth sailing, although I didn't go to any key universities, but after graduation, I will stay in the south step by step to work hard, and then marry a wife and have children, honor my parents, and live a life that is not too extravagant, but maybe arbitrary and colorful.
But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and it was in Qi Ming's sophomore year that his father, who had been in a small grocery business for half his life, suddenly planned to change careers.
It should be that after the new millennium, countless high-rise buildings in the city have risen from the ground, and the real estate industry is in full swing, so I listened to people's fools, sold the storefront, collected the funds, and borrowed a loan from the bank to cooperate with others in garden projects.
The result is obvious, the settlement of the project payment is not clear, several cooperative units are fighting each other, and to make matters worse, the partners have fled with the money.
As a result, the Qi family went from the middle class in a second-tier city overnight to a dilemma of owing a lot of debt to the bank, and Qi Ming was forced to be pushed out of the greenhouse.
It was a dark period in Qi Ming's life in his previous life, he grew up under the protection of his family, and only after the age of twenty did he know that outside the protection of his parents, it was red dust and wind and frost.
Qi Ming was twenty years old that year, and the confidence in his bones was calm, accompanied by the collapse of the coefficient in the middle of the family road.
He became less fond of lively occasions and always used his busy work as an excuse to turn off his friends' gatherings.
The social network is getting narrower and narrower, and I go to work overtime every day, and I come home to draw some illustrations to support my family.
At the same time, he also had to help his father pay off some of the arrears that his business failed and borrowed from his relatives.
Loneliness may not be talked about, at most it is lonely.
And now that his life is back, it is obvious that Qi Ming doesn't want to try again in the bitter life of the year.
In fact, in the past few days after being reborn, Qi Ming has been thinking, since he has a chance to start over, what should he do?
Standing at the tail end of the twentieth century, many people faintly heard the footsteps of the approaching millennium.
The difference lies in the confusion and hesitation of others, but what Qi Ming has in his heart is joy and excitement.
What should I do after I am reborn?
First of all, it must be to make some money, and then read all the wind and moon, so that your life can continue to go on arbitrarily,
Bang bang bang!
Just as Qi Ming was thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door from the outside.
"You, Uncle Yang, are ready to leave, come out and send them together. Don't lie in the house as soon as the college entrance examination is over, and your limbs are about to degenerate. ”
Listening to the voice, I knew that it was my mother Dai Lijuan, and the Qi family did have a visitor tonight, as a junior, it was indeed unruly for the guests not to go out before they left.
I saw Qi Ming take out a sketchbook from the bookcase, tear out a scroll from it, put it in his hand, and walked out of the bedroom door.
Dai Lijuan, a mother born in the south, lives a delicate and delicate life.
Today, I didn't care about the mess in the kitchen to clean up the table, and stood at the door with a smile.
Qi Daxun, who plays a silent and serious father at home, also talks and laughs with the guest with a sincere face, and the joy is by no means superficial.
What the husband and wife want to give is a middle-aged man, a white shirt, a big back and shiny oil, and at a glance, you can tell that it has just baked oil.
The Pierre Cardin briefcase he was carrying was one of the few extravagant and expensive items of that era.
The middle-aged man laughed when he saw Qi Ming: "What is the young master doing in the house alone?" ”
"Idle and bored, I drew a sketch."
Qi Ming said and handed the piece of paper that had just been torn out of the book and rolled up to the middle-aged man in front of him.
The latter opened it and looked at it, and it was a simple sketch of a few strokes.
But if you look closely, as a layman, although you feel that the lines are shallow, you are better than the delicate lines and the structure is relaxed.
The picture shows a man wearing a trench coat leaning in front of a black car and smoking.
The man recognized the contents of the painting at a glance: "This is me?" ”
"The last time I came to my house to eat and drink, I had to ask for a pair before leaving. My mother asked me to copy a copy of it, and I didn't have the time to draw it for you, but when I thought that I wouldn't be able to keep Uncle Yang in the future, you would never finish chattering, so I casually coped with a sketch. ”
"Okay, I think it's really good. Speaking of which, you kid has really not learned to paint in vain in the past few years! When I went back, I asked someone to go to Guancheng South Street and make a bookmark of this sketch. ”
The man changed his words and said: "I heard that the results of the college entrance examination have come down, and you have to report to Shanghai Engineering University when school starts, do you want me to arrange a plane ticket for you." Going to college is a top priority, and Delong is the focus. ”
The middle-aged man carefully rolled up the sketch and put it in his briefcase.
"Uncle Yang, I understand your kindness. A second-class college, I still don't want to be nervous, and honestly sit on the green skin. ”
"Study hard, the old Qi family may be able to produce a great painter, and a painting will sell for millions!"
"Bah, uncle, what about your curse? What painter in this world is worth nothing until he dies. I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death sooner or later by drawing. ”
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you're not a painter. When I am my godson, it is good to arrange a position for you in the civil aviation system when I graduate. ”
A middle-aged man surnamed Yang, named Yang Yifu.
Fang can hear it in just a few words, and his relationship with the Qi family is not shallow.
As for saying that he wanted to recognize Qi Ming as his godson before leaving, this is not the first time, and it will definitely not be the last.
In fact, from Qi Ming's very young age, it is estimated that when he was two or three years old, the middle-aged man with a big back in front of him would appear in front of him if he had nothing to do.
He always used the rough old hand that was yellowed by the cigarette buttocks, pinching Qi Ming's face when he had nothing to do, although he didn't pinch it much when he grew up, he began to brainwash Qi Ming's father Qi Daxun all day long, saying that he wanted to recognize Qi Ming as his godson.
As for the relationship between the surname Yang and Qi Ming's father Qi Daxun, he is a person who grew up in a large courtyard since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a small friendship.
Later, when the city developed, several families lived in bungalows and miscellaneous courtyards were gone, and the old neighbors were scattered, but the contact and relationship between the two families of Qi Daxun and Yang Yifu continued to this day.
Yang Yifu is one of the few people in the miscellaneous courtyard who has completed high school and gone to university, Jinling Aviation University.
After graduation, he returned to Zhongzhou and entered the civil aviation system.
Although Yang Yifu is middle-aged, according to Qi Ming's memory, this middle-aged man who has always wanted to be his godfather should be promoted to the department level two years later.
As the saying goes, don't forget the rich, Yang Yifu arranged for Qi Daxun to open a specialty store at the only civil airport in Zhongzhou during his years in civil aviation.
There is not much interest in this, at most, it is better than other merchants in terms of rent, giving Qi Daxun some of the biggest concessions within the rules.
The new Zhongzhou Airport in 99 has just been built for less than two years, and there are bookstores, barber shops, and restaurants in it.
The only property is run by Qi Daxun's family, and the business is not said to be rich and expensive, but it is definitely enough for Qi Daxun to support the family, and there is still a surplus in the annual deposit.
Obviously, mother Dai Lijuan and father Qi Daxun have long been accustomed to Yang Yifu asking Qi Ming to be his godson.
The husband and wife didn't speak very tacitly, but just stood at the door and looked at Qi Ming with a subtle chuckle.
The two families are friendly, and Qi Daxun is actually happy to kiss and kiss in his heart, but after all, his son has his own ideas, and his husband and wife generally do not interfere with each other.
What's more, for Yang Yifu's half-joking and half-serious words, he actually didn't take it too seriously.
"Forget it, godson, if I cause trouble for you outside one day, you have to come forward to shovel it for me."
"Hahaha," Yang Yifu touched his round belly, and didn't think that Qi Ming would be embarrassed to refuse him, but smiled greasy and burped at the same time, "It's okay, it's okay." It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a godson, it's okay to be a son-in-law. ”
Yang Yifu smiled and poked Qi Daxun's elbow beside him, "I'll just look at our young master, how to look at it horizontally and vertically." Speaking of which, my girl doesn't look quiet on the outside, but in fact, you and I both know that she is like a pepper to the sky. From childhood to adulthood, Qi Ming can calm that girl. How can I say that sentence, female junior, hugging gold bricks is not. ”
"Alright, Old Yang. Don't talk about compliments to your face. It's getting late, I'll take you downstairs. Qi Daxun smiled, and personally sent this friend who spoke very well in the Civil Aviation Administration downstairs.
Qi Ming helped his mother clean up in the kitchen, a meal, the wind was whirling, and the cups and plates were messy.
Standing in the kitchen looking down through the window, looking at the downstairs of the old family courtyard community, Qi Daxun personally sent Yang Yifu a Santana 2000.
Watching the sentimental Volkswagen classic drift away, Qi Ming, who was helping his mother wash the dishes, fell into contemplation again.
I feel that in 1999, this is really a beautiful time when everything sprouts like early spring, and everything seems to be competing for the sun.
In the first half of the year, the popular cartoon "Baolian Lantern" was popular, and whether it was a cartoon or three theme songs, it can be called a classic even if it is placed in 20 years.
In other words, why doesn't Zhang Xinzhe get old?
It is also the deep-sea special economic zone this year, and Xiao Ma's OICQ has been launched, and at this time, he is pretending to be a female netizen to interact and chat with netizens who are new to the Internet.
In the lakeside garden of Xihang City, an English teacher and eighteen people founded a website called 1688.
At that time, few people knew what kind of impact this B2B-focused Internet company would have in later generations.
And if Qi Ming remembers correctly, the major change that swept the entire Qi family will come in two years.
What I have to do is to seize all the opportunities that can be seized in the past two years, try to avoid the arrival of that day, and let my wanton life that suddenly ended abruptly in my previous life continue in this life.
