Chapter 144: Night Market, Never Sleeps

Bai Li, who changed her clothes, took Rong Di to the fruit stall in the old city, which was very new, not as old as Rong Di's time, showing a dilapidated and depressed appearance. And there are a lot of people here even at night, but in Rongdi's time, there are few people walking here even during the day.

Rongdi inevitably felt an inexplicable sense of disparity, but soon this feeling was replaced by the freshness of old things.

"It's so lively here...... Rong Di entered the city like a hillbilly, looking left and right, "Is it always like this here?" ”

"It's next to the night market." Bai Li said with a smile: "After the reform and opening up, there have been a lot of changes here."

Rong Di's father and her mother created people very early, and when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, Rong Di was born. If I remember correctly, my grandfather got married less than a year after I met my grandmother, and my father was born the next year. According to the calculation of time, the current time point is indeed the early stage of reform and opening up.

Looking at the young woman in front of him who would become his grandmother in the future, Rong Di suddenly felt as if his grandfather had earned it.

Being stared at blankly by her grandson, who claimed to be from the future, Bai Li was a little unhappy and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" I'm your grandmother! ”

"I feel like you've changed ...... at all," Rong Di couldn't help but say, "In my time, you were still so young. Although you usually use spells to maintain your old appearance, your true appearance is at most thirty years old. ”

Ahead of him was a noble, heroic young woman everywhere, her long black hair falling like a waterfall. Delicate face, fair skin, bumpy body shape. Judging from her appearance alone, Bai Li is simply a youthful beautiful girl.

The rat man said that Grandma was now twenty-six or seventeen years old, but Rong Di felt that she was younger than herself, no matter how she looked at it. Women in this era don't wear much makeup, and many people wear no makeup...... Said that she was eighteen years old, Rong Di believed it!

"The more I look at it, the more I think you're young, you're only twenty years old at most now......" Rong Di frowned and said, "Why did the rat man say that you are twenty-six or seventeen years old?"

"Don't just ask a woman's age!" Bai Li gave him a blank look, but she was a little happy. She asked, "Don't you know that a cyclone can be used to judge a person's age?"

"Cyclone?" Rong Di couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"

"It's something like tree rings, people who use the power of nature have such a cyclone in their bodies, and ordinary people are like this, it's a ripple cyclone of the soul." Bai Li smiled: "You are twenty-one years old now."

"Really?" Rong Di looked at her for a while and said, "I still can't see ......"

"That's because I won't let you see it! I disrupted the body's aura circulation. She laughed.

……

The further the two of them go, the more people there are. The crowded crowd surrounded the entrance of the commissary, and Rong Di was very curious and couldn't help asking, "Why are there so many people there?"

"They're watching TV." Bai Li said with a smile: "Many canteens rely on TV to have so many people come to buy things."

"You can see this kind of scene in front of some supermarkets in my time." Rong Di smiled: "It's just not as lively as it is now."

"Will televisions be as rare as they are now in the future?" Bai Li was aroused by him and asked, "I thought that every household in your era had a TV."

"You guessed it." Rong Di said with a smile: "In our time, TV was really available in every household, but everyone was chasing dramas on mobile phones or computers, and TV sets were a little behind."

"Cell phone?" Bai Li couldn't help asking, "Is the TV set of the future very small?"

It seems that there is no such thing as no mobile phone in this era...... Rong Di thought for a while with some distress and said, "What do you say in this era, mobile phone? Or a BB machine? Cell phone? In short, it is a machine that can make phone calls, surf the Internet, and watch TV, and the size is the size of a palm. ”

Bai Li still didn't understand much, so she looked at Rong Di with a frown for a while, and asked another question: "Then what was your food, clothing, housing and transportation like in that era?"

"It's all very convenient...... Rong Di thought about it and replied: "Clothes can be purchased online, food can be ordered for takeout, accommodation can be made online, and going out can be called Didi."

As he spoke, Rong Di saw a grocery store on the side of the street and couldn't help but smile: "This store is still open!"

He looked down the street, and there was a kitchenware store, a grain store, and a clothing store. At this time, the small shops were almost closely related to people's daily lives, and they were arranged in an orderly manner like the parts inside a clock.

Outside the shop, there are many people playing chess and poker. It really has the breath of life in that era, unlike in modern times, where everyone looks down at their phones.

Rong Di looked around and felt a sense of freshness that he had never felt before. Bai Li couldn't help but snickering when she looked at his excited appearance.

Soon, Bai Li took Rong Di to what she called the night market. Rong Di looked up and muttered, "Never sleepy? It's a great name. ”

Bai Li felt a little puzzled and asked, "You don't know that it never sleeps?"

"I haven't found this place in Kunzhong for so long." Rongdi quipped, "Maybe it's hidden......"

Saying that, Rong Di said to himself: "But I stayed in Kunzhong for a few years and didn't find that Bai Ze Pavilion is ......."

There are many shops in the night market street, the first street is a night club, the second street is clothes and shoes, and the third street is a small shop like before.

It doesn't have the colorful neon lights like it does in modern times, and there is no constant loud stereo. The lighting here is a little dim and soft, and the wires at that time were quite small, with wires pulling randomly overhead, and you could listen to Cantonese opera on the old-fashioned radio.

There are no European and American fast food burger joints in the snack bar, but there are many Hong Kong and Cantonese-style tea restaurants. If it were now, even at this point in time, you could see electric car delivery people shuttling through the streets and alleys, but this is the time when it was known as a bicycle country. Except for the night market, which is more lively, the other places are quiet.

This is a small shop called Good Luck Tea Restaurant, where there are many people who eat supper, and the tables and chairs are placed outside, and Rong Di and they are sitting outside. Rong Di looked left and right like an active child, and suddenly he looked up and saw that there were still large stars in the night sky.

"Grandma! It's the stars! Rong Di said happily: "The past was so good!"

"Don't you have any stars over there?" Bai Li felt that he was really making a little fuss, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Nope! Because of the light pollution, I couldn't see the stars at night in the city at that time! Rong Di said helplessly.

Bai Li suddenly felt that the future was not very good, although it seemed that it would be very convenient for people to do anything in the future, but the price they paid was to cut off the connection with nature. Bai Li uses the power of nature, but she doesn't like that kind of future. But she couldn't change anything.

At this time, a teenage girl in the store came up to me and asked, "What do you need?"

"I just want a shrimp porridge and three signature dishes." Bai Li smiled.

At this time, Rong Di suddenly said: "Grandma, look! It is a shoe mending shop! We don't see much of this anymore......"

Compared with Rong Di, who was excited, Bai Li looked at the girl who helped the family. After all...... There is no one who can be a grandmother here!

"He didn't say anything grandma, you heard it wrong!" Bai Li said embarrassedly.

"Oh......" The girl nodded, giving her a staircase down.

There are quite a few people who eat late night snacks in this area, and men in jeans will tuck the hem of their clothes into their pants to expose the belt around their waists, which is probably very popular here, and almost everyone is like this. But in Rongdi's time, few people would do this, because it was real earth.

"Grandma, I think this era is really good." "People here pay attention to everything around them, unlike in our days, when almost everyone looked at their phone as soon as they stopped," he laughs. Obviously, the exchange of information has become more developed, but our interpersonal communication has become much worse. ”

"You just think it's new in this era, right?" Bai Li smiled: "After all, you are a person of your era, can you adapt to the convenient things you said?"

Bai Li spoke straightforwardly, and only picked out the key points, which was the same as her in the future. Well, there is that smell, and the blackness of her belly is reflected.

"You're right." Rong Di thought about it and smiled bitterly, "But it's not right, people in our era are under a lot of pressure." Everyone is very busy, busy with school, employment, paying off the mortgage, raising children and raising two generations of the elderly. ”

"They were born on a conveyor belt and made into a person who could only work." Rong Di continued: "Maybe my statement is a little pessimistic, but the reality is that."

"It's the same here, money is everyone's pursuit." Bai Li smiled: "Only money will never be eliminated by the times."

Rong Di looked at the black-and-white TV not far away, and couldn't help laughing: "The TVs of our era have all become color TVs, and the black-and-white TVs have long been eliminated. But like this, everyone will get together to catch up on the drama...... People nowadays don't experience that feeling anymore. ”

Rong Di suddenly remembered what the Eight Babies had said when they walked in the old church at night - humans eliminated youkai. He seemed a little touched and said, "There are really many things that have been eliminated by the times. Right, grandma? ”

Bai Li was a little unhappy, she was still a big girl with yellow flowers, but she didn't want to be called grandma by others all the time. She frowned and said unhappily: "Don't call me grandma!" I'm still young! ”

"But you are my grandmother after all......" Rong Di looked at the unhappy grandmother and felt a lot happier, and said with a wicked smile: "It's not good to call the name directly."

Rong Dida has been bullied by her grandmother since she met him...... Now it's his turn to break back into the game!

"You can add a sister or something." Bai Li said unhappily.

Rong Di is still so poor, "In this way, the generations will be chaotic, and the Chinese are very particular about generations!" ”

Bai Li gritted her teeth in anger, Rong Di said for the first time that she had won her grandmother, and he mended the knife and said: "And I'm used to it, I can't change it."

"Hmph, grandson!" Bai Li has always been a person who holds grudges, she glared at Rong Di and said, "Then I'll call you grandson!" Don't want me to call you by your name in the future! ”

Rong Di felt a little embarrassed, he seemed to understand the reason why his grandmother had not called him by name but by grandson since he and his grandmother met. It's all my own doing!

Could it be that this is the so-called filling in the puzzle of history?

At this time, the little girl just now brought the shrimp porridge over. Bai Li looked at Rong Di like an enemy, and said in a commanding tone: "Sun Tzu! Porridge! ”

"Okay, grandma......" Rong Di said with mixed feelings.
