Chapter 250: Revisiting the Old Land

The view outside the window is a piece of sticker that has been pieced together for no reason, and although each piece has the characteristics of each piece, it looks particularly delicate when put together. The fragments of memory are pieced together into a complete picture, and the rest of my life lives depend on the film pieced together by the picture.

After a night's rest, Sukon was in good spirits, and Sukang prepared breakfast for him early in the morning, and Sukang knocked lightly on the door and shouted.

"Dad, are you up?"

Suzud said inside.

"Come in."

Suzude said as he stood by the window dressed in a high-end sleepy mood and looked at the row of low bungalows outside.

"That's where I came from."

Su Kang didn't understand his words, after all, he was born with a golden spoon. Sometimes it is true that the elders should be listened to tell their stories of the past, whether they are prosaic or turbulent, but the things contained in them are the same, and the elders want to try to communicate with the younger ones in this way. Su Kang put breakfast on the table and said.

"Dad, let's eat first, and I'll continue to help you recover your memory later."

Suzud snuffed out his cigar and walked to the table, looking at the omelette sausage on his plate that did not satisfy his appetite at all, even though he hadn't eaten a decent meal all day yesterday. Suzud put down his knife and fork and said.

"Tell your friends if you can take a break for a day today?"

Su Kang was surprised by his father's tone, which was clearly discussing with him. At this time, Su Zude looked like a child who bargained with him because he didn't want to do his homework.

"Is it because there is something planned for today?"

Suzud said hesitantly.

"No, I just want to go there."

"Where?"

Suzud gestured to the bungalow below.

"That's it."

Suzud then said in a quibbly tone.

"I've always lived there, and I might remember something when I go there."

"Where do you live?"

"Oh, no. It's living in the same slums as there. ”

Suzud's words are not unreasonable, the stimulation of external instruments is important, but the environment itself is also important for the stimulation of the brain's deep memories. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze hadn't come back all night, and they hadn't seen anyone in the morning, so he said hello to Han Shuo. He came back and said to Suzud.

"I've said I'm done, will I go now?"

Su Zude's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he said again and again.

"Good, good."

"Then you don't need to call your assistant and ask him to accompany you."

"No, let's go."

Su Zude cleaned up and went out with Su Kang. Today, Su Zude looks very ordinary, I don't know if he dresses and even speaks, he looks like a retired worker who often visits the vegetable market. But the expression on his face was very relaxed, as if this was the life he enjoyed and longed for.

"You see, it used to be a garbage collection station, but now it's a restaurant."

Su Zude pointed to the restaurant on the side of the road and said with great interest. As they walked, they came to the door of a hair salon that was exactly the same as the one Suzud remembered. Su Kang asked.

"This salon is still there?"

Su Zude was also stunned and said.

"I didn't expect it to be here after so many years."

The father and son pushed the door in, and there was a strong smell of shampoo and conditioner. The boss said with a smile.

"Do you two have a haircut?"

Su Zude looked at the boss and said.

"Give me a haircut."

After that, he found a barber chair and sat down, and Su Kang sat on the side and waited. For the next few dozen minutes, Suzud was talking to his boss about the past. The boss Suzud recalls has been dead for many years, and the current boss is the son of the former boss. Since the house is his own, he has not changed the sale for many years. Suzud asked.

"Didn't think about doing anything else?"

"What else would I do? When my father died, he left me this dilapidated house and his usual tools for haircuts. It's also to blame us for not being capable, and we can't really do anything else. Let me put down the fader and play with the abacus now, we won't. Then again, I can't bear those old neighbors, and it won't be even more tasteless if I grind my teeth and talk to them every day. ”

"A life without money has nothing but bitterness, right?"

Hearing this, Su Kang was stunned, and complained in his heart about how his father could chat like this. Isn't this revealing people's shortcomings? Unexpectedly, the boss suddenly laughed and said.

"It's not all bitter, it's a little sweet. As much as you earn, you can live a lot of life, and you are used to eating cabbage and tofu, and we can't digest the delicacies of the mountains and seas. The amount of money a person should have is the same as how many lifespans he should have, which is brought about by reincarnation, and cannot be forced. ”

Su Zude's smile was a little appreciative, he had seen this kind of thing on the Internet, and it was the first time he had heard someone say it sincerely. Modern people spare no effort to pursue money and desire, and are even willing to give their lives for these. No one is willing to accept a poor and mediocre life, and they are forced to accept it after being tempered by life. Some people can still be happy as usual in this mediocrity, while others are unwilling to be torn by fate, knowing that they still did not achieve their expected goals in the end, and finally had to die depressed. It is not difficult to understand, but it is a kind of realm to see, and there is no way.

"Cut it, thank you, 20 pieces."

The boss took the cloth off Suzude, who looked at himself in the mirror and said.

"Good craftsmanship."

The boss said as he swept the broken hair on the ground.

"You won the prize, it was all taught by my father. We don't know how to use fashionable technology, but we can't lose this old craft. ”

Su Zude took out a large denomination bill and handed it to the boss, who took the money and said.

"You're the first guest today, and I don't have any change, why don't you get tired and go out and get some change?"

Suzud smiled and said.

"Sambo, you really don't remember me?"

The boss looked at Su Zude for a moment, then shook his head and asked.

"How do you know my nickname?"

"Not only do I know your nickname, but I also know that when you were a child, you carried your dad behind your back to bring me apples, and your dad beat me up."

The boss Sambo's eyes narrowed into a slit, I don't know if he was recalling or wanting to see Su Zude's appearance more closely. After a moment, Sambo said.

"Oh, I remembered. You are Zudgo. ”

"Hahaha, you finally remember."

Sambo's emotions suddenly became very excited, and he asked.

"Brother, when did you come back?"

"Just a few days ago."

"What are you doing now?"

Suzud pondered for a moment and said.

"I'm retired, I don't have to do anything all day, I wander around."

"Okay, okay, don't leave at noon today, we haven't seen a good drink for so many years."

"Okay."

Then Suzud said to Sukang.

"Su Kang, called Uncle Sanbao."

Su Kang stood up and greeted Sambo politely, and Su Zude continued.

"Su Kang, you go out and prepare some wine and food, we will eat here at noon."

Sambo hurriedly stopped.

"No, no, no, how can you break the bank."

With that, Sambo shouted loudly to the back room.

"Old woman, come out quickly."

After a while, a middle-aged woman walked out slowly, her whitewashed hands were still stained with unreconciled noodles, and said.

"What's wrong with the ghost screaming in the morning?"

"Look, who is this?"

Sambo's daughter-in-law looked at Su Zude and didn't speak for a long time, Sambo said.

"This is Zudego. Did you forget? ”

Sanbao's daughter-in-law patted her head and said.

"Oh, I remember. It's the newspaper seller who has been running errands for you before. ”

Su Zude smiled awkwardly, and Sambo raised his hand and stabbed his daughter-in-law and said.

"The stinky woman won't say a word. Brother Zude is here today, you prepare some food at noon, and we brothers have a good drink. ”

As soon as Sanbao's daughter-in-law heard this, her face immediately drooped, but because of Sanbao's face, she didn't say anything, in short, she went back to work after throwing her face at Su Zude and his son. San Bao said with an embarrassed smile.

"Country women are not sensible, don't be surprised."

"Why. But if it's inconvenient for you, if you have a chance, you can go to my place and we'll catch up again. ”

"No, just today. You are not allowed to go anywhere, but you are here today. ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

After Su Zude and Su Kang whispered a few words, Su Kang went out. Su Zude and Sam Po were catching up in the house, and by the time Su Kang returned to the salon it was already noon, and a table of fragrant meals had already been arranged. Sambo took Suzud's hand and walked to the table and said.

"Our brothers were the best when they were young, but you left without a sound, and I complained about you for a while."

Sam Bao poured wine for Su Zude as he spoke, and Su Kang whispered to Su Zude while Sam Bao was not speaking.

"Dad, you're all set."

Su Zude nodded, and the Three Treasures greeted Su Kangdao.

"Sit down, kid. Can you drink some? ”

Su Kang nodded politely, and Sambo took out the cup and poured a cup for Su Kang as well, at this time he noticed that one of Su Kang's sleeves was empty, and asked.

"What is this?"

Su Kang didn't mind, and said generously.

"An accident as a child."

Sambo looked at Su Zude, and Su Zude said.

"It's all an old adult thing, don't mention it, drink."

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Su Kang asked.

"Uncle Sanbao, do you know that my dad used to have a particularly good friend? I was on crutches with him in the slums. ”

San Bao burped and said with a confused look in his eyes.

"You said Tian Er, that kid."

"Tian Er? Did he have the best relationship with my dad back then? ”

"Isn't that good, the two of them almost wore a pair of pants back then, but they only seemed to have one pair of pants at that time."

Suzud suddenly laughed and said.

"You three treasures, don't forget to hurt me at any time."

Su Kang then asked.

"Can you tell me about this Tanji?"

Sanbao's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

"That kid is a good person, he has been smart since he was a child, and he has the most ghost ideas. So at that time, many children were reluctant to play with him, and your father was stupid and honest, even if he was pitted by Tian Er, he was still willing to play with him. ”

Sambo turned to Suzud and said.

"Brother, do you remember the time we went to steal watermelons together, Tian Er lied to you, and in the end he ran away."

Su Zude was just about to answer, but suddenly found that he had no memory of what Sanbao said, and he couldn't even find this person named Tian Er from his memory, let alone his appearance. To avoid embarrassment, Suzud said with a laugh.

"Why don't you remember, that kid is a bastard, every time he pushes me out as a shield, and he is relaxed and happy in the back."

"That's what I'm talking about. You said you would be so good with him. ”

Su Zude smiled awkwardly and said.

"Who knows. I guess it's fate. ”

Su Kang took the words and asked.

"What happened to this Tian Er?"

"He left Zhonghai City before all of us, and later I heard that he died outside."

Hearing this, Su Kang was stunned for a moment, and the sprouts that had just emerged were back into the soil again. At this time, Sanbao's daughter-in-law came out of the kitchen with a few bowls of noodles, but there was still no smile on her face, so she put the bowl on the table and went back to the kitchen. Seeing her like this, Sambo said to Su Zude.

"You two eat first, I'll go get some vinegar, I've been proud of this bite for so many years."

With that, he also walked to the kitchen. After a while, Sanbao and his daughter-in-law quarreled in the kitchen, nothing more than why life was so difficult, complaining that Sanbao still had the leisure to invite people to dinner. It didn't matter how they quarreled, the Tian Er that Su Kang learned from Sanbao was very important, and he was probably the dark shadow in Su Zude's memory. Su Kang asked Su Zude.

"Dad, do you remember that person named Tian Er?"

Suzud took a bite of the noodles and said.

"I don't remember. But listening to the meaning of Sanbao just now, I should have a good relationship with that person named Tian Er. ”

Su Kang said disappointedly.

"I thought I had found some clues. It turned out to be nothing. ”

Su Zude patted Su Kang on the shoulder and said.

"We didn't come out today to find memories, just enjoy the moment."

As soon as the words fell, San Bao came out of the kitchen, his expression switched in an instant, and he said with a smile.

"How's it taste?"

Both Su Zude and Su Kang gave a thumbs up, and Sambo continued.

"Don't look at my mother-in-law's stinky face, I've been proud of her craftsmanship for so many years, and the cooking is called a fragrant, and I can't buy the taste with any amount of money."

Su Kang said with a smile.

"People say that people who cook well are also very kind-hearted."

Hearing this, San Bao laughed and said.

"Listen to what the boy says, drink one."

After eating for a while, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Zude got up and said.

"Three Treasures, let's stop here today. There is a chance to reunite. ”

Sambo asked a little reluctantly.

"You're leaving?"

"I'd like to go to the old shack."

Sambo said with a smile.

"Where there are any shacks, they have long been developed into parks and green spaces. Okay, if you want to leave, I won't leave you, and remember to look for me next time I come back. We're all at this age, and we've seen one side less. ”

As he spoke, Sambo became sentimental. Suzud patted him on the shoulder.

"Sambo, I won't tell you. The only person I can remember now is you, and we still have a long time to come. ”

With that, the father and son left the hair salon. After a while, Su Kang suddenly remembered something and said.

"Dad, you wait for me outside for a while, I have something to ask Uncle Sanbao."

Su Zude nodded and walked over to the bench next to him, he knew what Su Kang was going to do, so he didn't stop him. Su Kang returned to the hair salon and saw Sam Bao in a daze at the black suitcase in the corner of the door, and when he saw Su Kang coming back, he asked.

"Housheng, what is this?"

Su Kang said with a smile.

"This is what my dad meant, he understands your difficulties, so let me prepare some money for you."

Sanbao frowned and said angrily.

"Take it back. Tell your dad that if you have money, donate it to Project Hope, I don't need it. ”

Su Kang didn't speak, and Sambo asked.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uncle Sanbao, my dad really did something wrong with this, don't be angry. I came back to ask if you had any photos of your childhood friends. ”

Sambo thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that there is really one, wait for me to find it."

At this moment, Su Kang took the opportunity to find Sanbao's daughter-in-law with a suitcase, Sanbao's daughter-in-law looked at Su Kang angrily, her eyes seemed to be saying that she was full of food, why did she come back, could it be that she wanted to take something with her?

"Is there something wrong?"

Su Kang handed the suitcase to Sanbao's daughter-in-law and said.

"Auntie, this is a little bit of my father's heart. You also know that Uncle Sanbao has a stubborn temper, refuses to stay, and doesn't have much money, so this is what he repaid for bringing apples to my dad back then. ”

Sanbao's daughter-in-law opened the suitcase and took a look, not to mention hundreds of thousands. Sanbao's daughter-in-law suddenly smiled, this was also the first time Su Kang saw Sanbao's daughter-in-law smiling after entering the door.

"You said that this Zude is just a matter of having a meal, so you can't see the outside world if you get it."

"Just take it. Otherwise, our grandfather and I wouldn't be at ease. ”

"Okay, you let go, it can't run."

At this time, San Bao held a yellowed old photo and shouted.

"Found it, found it."

When he saw his daughter-in-law holding the suitcase, his face suddenly became gloomy, Su Kang hurriedly pulled Sanbao aside, and Sanbao's daughter-in-law took the opportunity to carry the suitcase and walked to the back room. Su Kang said.

"Uncle, did you find it?"

Sambo handed the photo to Su Kang and said.

"That's it."

"Who is this?"

Sambo said, pointing to the person in the photo.

"This is your dad, this is me."

"And who is this woman?"

Sambo suddenly sighed and said.

"This is a miserable woman."

Hearing this, Su Kang knew that there must be a story in it, so he asked.

"She's not going to be my dad's first love, is she?"

"Pretty much. Go back and let your dad sue you. ”

"Isn't there someone named Tian Er here?"

"I remember that he had already left Zhonghai City at this time."

"Can you give me this picture?"

Sanbao hesitated a little reluctantly, but when he thought of his daughter-in-law's various practices, he gritted his teeth and said in pain.

"Okay, you take it. But you have to take good care of it, and if you don't need it anymore, bring it back to me. ”

"Okay, thank you."

With that, he left the hair salon like a gust of wind. After Su Kang left, Sam Bao returned to the back room and saw his daughter-in-law sitting on the bed counting money, pointing to her daughter-in-law and saying.

"Little citizen."

Sanbao's daughter-in-law didn't even raise her head and said.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you're a small citizen, I know that money is the master these days, and if you don't have money, it's not as good as a rat in the sewer."

Su Kang walked towards his father with the photograph and saw Su Zude standing next to a large tree. Suzud seemed to have been pressed the pause button by time, and looked at the tree in front of him without moving, occasionally stroking the trunk with his right hand.

"Dad."

Su Zude turned around and saw Su Kang when he heard the sound and asked.

"All taken care of?"

"Taken care of. His daughter-in-law took the money. ”

"Hmm. It's not easy for Sambo, I hope I can help him somewhat. ”

"Where are we going next?"

"Let's go, go see the old shacks."

"Didn't Uncle Sanbao say that it has been transformed?"

Suzud said with a smile.

"Although the original appearance is no longer there, the smell must not have changed."

Su Kang couldn't understand what Su Zude was saying again, but he could only follow him towards the green park in the distance. It's the warmest time of the day, and many people are strolling around the park, including the elderly, couples, and young couples with their children.

A little boy of about five years old ran past Suzud with a balloon and laughed, and his mother chased after him as she counted and fell, and the little boy did not mean to stop at all, and even laughed louder. Suzud looked at the scene and put his hands behind his back and said.

"It's changed, it's all changed."

Su Kang asked.

"What has changed?"

"I ran like that kid to fill my stomach and he ran to be happy."

For the first time, Su Kang felt that his father was such a sentimental person, and some people really couldn't just look at the surface, and often their true temperament was hidden under the years. The father and son continued to walk forward, butterflies dancing in the flower ponds on both sides, and the tranquility made people forget the cruelty of reality. Suzud stopped in front of a stone monument that reads the ruins of the transformation of an old shantytown. Su Kang asked, looking at the words on the stone tablet.

"The old shanty is what you call the slum?"

"How can you. The old shanty was a symbol of the rich back then. We lived in a makeshift nest made of plastic sheeting. ”

"And have you found a taste of the past here?"

Su Zude looked back at Su Kang, laughed after a while, and said.

"That smell can only be found in memory."

On the roads on both sides of the park, the sound of car horns is continuous, urging the cars in front to pass the traffic lights as soon as possible, and begging for time to go slower. While the anger is growing exponentially, the results have not changed in the slightest. Compared to the relaxation in the park, the outside is noisy and disturbing.

"Su Kang, what do you say they are all for?"

"Who?"

Suzud pointed outside.

"You mean the cars?"

"Hmm."

"It's not about living yet."

"Makes sense, did you do that too?"

"Pretty much. I didn't think life would be so bad when I left you in a fit of rage, until I was bruised by his beatings. But fortunately, I met a group of good friends, and I felt that life was not so powerful. ”

"Well said. In fact, human relationships are the main mediator of life stress, and I can't complain that you young people are now clamoring to stay with people who are comfortable. ”

Su Kang didn't speak, and Su Zude asked.

"Can Yang Yue make you comfortable?"

This was a bit abrupt, Su Kang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a slurred manner.

"What did you say?"

Su Zude slapped him with his hand and scolded.

"What do you think? I mean, she and you don't really get along. ”

"Oh, that's what you say. Of course it's coming. ”

Suzud pondered for a moment and said.

"That's good."

Su Zude was a little tired, and the two of them found a bench to sit down. Su Kang asked as he took out the photo he had just asked for with Sambo.

"Dad, do you remember the person in the photo?"

Suzud squinted at the yellowed photo and said.

"This is me, this is your Uncle Sanbao, this woman?"

"You can't remember?"

"I'm not impressed."

"Uncle San Bao said this is your first girlfriend."

Hearing this, Su Zude was stunned for a moment, then flipped through the photo and saw a line of small letters written in the lower right corner: 1981, summer.
