Qi Bei said that it was not big, and it was not small. After breakfast, Yu Shan walked through the streets and alleys, stopping occasionally to compare the street scenes of 2015 and 1998 to find fault in his mind. Before you know it, you will be in the most prosperous commercial center in Qibei.

In 98, there was neither Wanda nor New Mart in Qibei, and even the earlier Central was still the seat of the municipal government at the moment. The only thing that lasted until 17 years later was the department store. It is said that in the past year or five, Yu Shan had to spend three or five thousand every time he went to the department store, and he felt distressed for a long time when he looked back. It's different now, more than 10,000 cash in his pocket is a huge amount of money in this era, so as soon as the department store opened, Yu Shan shook it in with confidence.

Yu Shan walked around and rarely stopped. The time difference is more than ten years, and there is naturally a gap in the vision of choosing clothes. In Yu Shan's opinion, at the moment, the department store is flaunting high-end clothes, and the fabrics may be good, but the style is old-fashioned, and I am afraid that even Yu Shan's father, Comrade Yu, can't look down on it. After a big circle, Yu Shan bought a set of Li Ning's sports sweatshirts.

From the shopping guide's gaze to himself, Yu Shan realized how dazzling his Adi was, and with the idea of integrating into this time and space, Yu Shan paid cash happily, and asked the shopping guide to pack the original Adi, and left directly in new clothes.

On this day, Yu Shan temporarily put aside Lao Qiao's affairs, regarded it as a stolen holiday, and played happily all day. The Ma Lanhua ramen eaten at noon, two yuan for a big bowl, is not a pleasure to eat; In the evening, he went to Dongsidao Street to eat barbecue.

Ramen may not be unusual, but barbecue is definitely a specialty in Qibei. Qibei is close to Inner Mongolia, and all the beef used for barbecue comes from the prairie. The hand-cut beef is thin and evenly thick, marinated and then placed on a baking tray on a charcoal fire, and after a while, the aroma of the meat comes out. Then dip it in peanut flour, cumin powder, chili flour, salt and other dipping sauces that are mixed in a certain proportion, and put it in your mouth.

The most important thing is that the beef in this year is all natural. The barbecue restaurant owner didn't know that there was such a thing as tender meat powder, and the people of Inner Mongolia didn't consider feeding cattle and sheep with feed. Everything is nostalgic and authentic.

Yu Shan, who had eaten a stomach, hiccups and pondered that when he went back, he must buy a few catties of mixed meat, so that his foodie daughter-in-law can also try it.

The next morning, Yu Shan went to Jintian Fruit Shop again. As usual, he asked for tofu brains and tendon cakes, and the taste was still the same, but this time he didn't meet the girl named Xu Hui.

Yu Shan regretted that it should have been like this, Qibei City has a population of one million, and it would be good for two strangers to meet once, and the probability of encountering this kind of thing in a row is too low.

After breakfast, Yu Shan went back to Shakou Park. He habitually walked inside, but the girl in the ticket hall was not happy: "The one in sportswear, buy a ticket and enter again!" ”

Yu Shan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, the park this year has to charge tickets. Awkward, Yu Shan spent three yuan into the park. It didn't take long for the awkwardness in my heart to disappear.

What a value it was spent! Across the playground is the zoo, where lions, tigers, leopards, orangutans, monkeys, wolves, you name it. A few mischievous kids were still sitting in front of the black bear's cage, throwing popcorn into the cage incessantly.

In 2015, Shakou Park was free, but in a blink of an eye, the animals were removed, and the original site was left with squirrels scurrying around the trees. The botanical and botanical garden built by the original team has hardly changed except that the place is a little larger and the iron cage has been replaced by a glass cage. One hundred tickets, don't be too expensive, this is still the price of group buying.

Yu Shan watched with great interest for a long time, and then walked along the road again. Turning around a small forest, a basketball court appears in front of you. There was an endless stream of shouts and shouts on the court, and as they got closer, Yu Shan vaguely heard a bear child shouting 'Civilian layup' and smashing the basketball on the rebound.

Most of the venues are occupied by bear children, and only one field is full of rough old men wearing big pants and hurdle vests. Yu Shan stopped and watched for a while, and then his heart became itchy.

He usually keeps exercising because of the blessing of the profession of physical education teacher, and every day is to run and run and keep fit. As for basketball, it hasn't been touched in years.

Back in ninety-eight years, the familiar taste, coupled with the relaxed mentality, made Yu Shan's whole person refreshed and eager to try to play. It was also a coincidence, and the tall man in the first team on the court stopped playing, saying that he was in a hurry to go home for breakfast. Four against four turned into three against four, and the three people looked around in a circle, and they saw Yu Shan at a glance.

One of the first people asked, "Dude, do you know how to play?" ”

Yu Shan was happy, took off his sweatshirt and jacket and went on the field. He hadn't touched it for a long time, and the basketball was extremely unfamiliar in his hands. I saw Yu Shan rushing all over the field as if he had drunk a box of red bulls, striking all kinds of iron, and then throwing himself into it. After a game of balls, Yu Shan was drenched in sweat and had a lot of fun. Before the end of the game, the three teammates made an appointment with Yu Shan to continue tomorrow, and then one of the younger teammates expressed the hope that Yu Shan would grab more rebounds tomorrow, which means that it is enough for Yu Shan to do Rodman's job well, and the dribbling offense is still left to others.

Yu Shan smiled and was not annoyed, at his age, the desire to win and defeat was not so strong. Saying goodbye to his teammates, Yu Shan put his clothes on his shoulders and strolled around to find a bench to sit down and rest.

The bench is close to the Labor Lake, and the arch bridge in front of the right is a rockery in the park. With the scenery of the lake and mountains, Yu Shan kneading his thigh muscles while resting comfortably. He remembered that he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Over the years, as soon as I graduated from university, I entered a foreign company to do software development, and when I had a project, I got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog, and there was no fixed rule for eating. The doctor in charge at the time said that Yu Shan would easily die suddenly if he continued like this.

This poured cold water on Yu Shandoutou, who was dedicated to his career at that time. What career, savings, what house, car, everything is not important compared to a small life. He honestly recuperated in the hospital for three weeks, submitted his resignation as soon as he came out, and left the bustling Bingang with his daughter-in-law, who was still his girlfriend at the time, and returned to his hometown.

Yu Shan's father, Comrade Lao Yu, had not retired at that time, so he invited Comrade Lao Luo from the Education Bureau to have a drink and arranged Yu Shan to enter Yucai Primary School. Yu Shan's daughter-in-law Zhao Xiaomeng was very competitive, and she entered the university laboratory with solid skills.

Yu Shan, who returned to his hometown, didn't work so hard, but at his age, there were two families of four old people to support, a daughter-in-law to take care of, and he had to run for the children in the near future, which was equivalent to putting the burden of the whole family on his shoulders. The body is much stronger, and this time it's my turn to be tired.

Don't say it, just say that it's a New Year's holiday. More than a dozen relatives from two families walked around, which was even more tiring than going to work. It's really rare to steal half a day of leisure like today.

Yu Shan was comfortable, and there was a voice not far behind him.

The man said, "What did you say about running that school yesterday?" ”

The woman said, "The principal didn't say anything else, so let me go for an internship first." ”

The girl's voice resembles a yellow oriole and is highly recognizable. Listening to the girl's voice, Yu Shan reflexively looked back. I saw a pair of men and women sitting on the side of him under the shade of the trees behind him, the man was wearing trousers, a white shirt, myopia glasses, and his hair was open. The face is a little immature, and although the face is ordinary, there is a sense of arrogance; The girl next to her only showed a side face, and Yu Shan recognized her at a glance as the girl she met at the breakfast stall yesterday. Call...... Call...... Xu Hui, by the way, it's called Xu Hui.

Seeing the two sitting next to each other, they knew that these two were a couple without asking. The two of them faced Yu Shan sideways, and they didn't notice him looking back at all. Yu Shan simply didn't look at it, on the one hand, he was now rushing over to greet other little girls, and he was easy to be regarded as a strange uncle. So Yu Shan turned his head again and continued to move his body.

The conversation between the two behind them continued.

After listening to Xu Hui's words, the man was a little unhappy: "Internship? The principal didn't give the right word? ”

"Nope." Xu Hui's voice was very small, and she sounded like she was afraid of upsetting her boyfriend.

"Tsk...... That won't work, you can run again today and see if the railroad can receive you. Xu Hui's boyfriend sighed and said, "I'll run the employment office here to see if there is any way on Mr. Zhang's side." ”

"Yes."

Yu Shan probably understood what the two of them were talking about. The two of them sound like college students and graduates, so they are worried about employment. Until the mid-90s, the graduation of college students was allocated by the state, and from the mid-90s, the national policy was adjusted and the distribution was no longer arranged. The public universities started this policy in '96 earlier, and the policy was implemented in '98 a little later.

"It's really unlucky, the last session was also allocated, and we will be employed by ourselves. Isn't this messing! Xu Hui's boyfriend snorted angrily.

Xu Hui said carelessly: "Don't be too anxious, I'll ...... again If I run a few more schools, there will always be a way. ”

The boyfriend was unhappy: "What good result can be if you don't touch like a headless fly?" I have already decided to stay in the school, work in the school for two years, and send graduate students after two years. What if you don't have a school in the city to accept you? Won't we be separated when we go to the surrounding counties? ”

Xu Hui was silent and did not speak.

The boyfriend said: "Our family is against our affairs, if you really go to the surrounding counties, then our affairs will be completely over." After a pause, "If you want me to talk about this, I have to find Mr. Zhang from the Employment Office, no...... No, you can give me some more money, I'll invite Mr. Zhang to have a meal and discuss. ”

Xu Hui whispered, "I just gave you two hundred last time. ”

The boyfriend's voice became sharp: "What is two hundred enough?" A Hongta Mountain is sixty-five, and if you have a better meal, your two hundred are not enough, and I will take one hundred into it. ”

Xu Hui was silent, the crickets rummaged around, and it took a long time before he said, "I still have eighty-three yuan and five ...... Otherwise, don't look for Mr. Zhang first......"

The boyfriend was angry: "Xu Hui, what do you want?" The previous two hundred have been spent, and now it is time to strike while the iron is hot. ”

"That'...... Then I'll keep ten dollars, and I'll give you the rest. ”

The boyfriend's unspeakable anger: "You can keep it for yourself." As he spoke, he took a big stride away, and after a moment he stopped and turned back and said loudly, "I don't care about your business." Anyway, if you don't stay in Qibei, let's break up! ”

Xu Hui's boyfriend left, leaving Xu Hui alone in a chair. After a while, a girl's soft sobbing sound came from behind Yu Shan.
