Rongcheng in 1986 is Li Yange's long-term memory, under the rows of three or four storey low-rise buildings, there are more than a dozen shops scattered around, some with twisted hair, some selling small food...... The few buildings are either newly built municipal hospitals, government buildings, or department stores that are the most popular among Chinese people.

Every building, every signboard, makes Li Yange gradually recall the happiest time in Rongcheng when he was young.

"Yan Ge, don't go so fast, I can't keep up."

Yu Chengli, who was behind him, panted and ran quickly.

Li Yange looked back, pulled the corners of his mouth, and thought to himself that you were walking slowly.

As soon as he got closer, Yu Chengli asked again: "Yan Ge, are you really not going to watch a movie in the Galaxy Video Hall?" ”

"No, I'll have something to do when I go back."

Li Yange has long passed the age of liking to watch movies, let alone going to the video hall to watch it, the narrow seats, the big TV screen, if you are lucky enough to sit in the front few positions, it is good to say, you go late, you can only count the heads in the back.

"Isn't the college entrance examination over? What else can you do! By the way, Yan Ge, what do you think of your test? Can I be admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music? Your academic performance is so good, and you can play erhu, you will definitely be able to pass the exam. My words, I feel that I did well in the exam, this time it is an extraordinary performance, and I should be able to be admitted to Rongcheng University. ”

Yu Chengli came to ask and answer himself.

Li Yange couldn't stop rolling her eyes when she heard it, you finished talking about it yourself, and asked me what I was doing.

However, Yu Chengli said that he was expected to be admitted to Rongcheng University, Li Yange thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case, and vaguely remembered that when the transcript was issued in his previous life, Yu Chengli's score just reached the passing line of Rongcheng University, and he was a local, so he looked for a family to operate, and he really went to Rongcheng University.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I believe you can be admitted to Rongcheng University."

Li Yange waved his hand, he was too lazy to listen to Yu Chengli's nagging in his ear, don't look at him now as an eighteen-year-old young man, but his heart is already in his fifties, and when he talks to eighteen-year-old Yu Chengli, he always feels that he is chatting with a little kid.

"Haha, you think so too?" Yu Chengli heard Li Yange say the same, and his heart was immediately happy.

His academic performance in the three years of high school was very average, if it weren't for the last few months, Li Yange pulled the sprint, stayed up late every day, barely catching up with the learning progress in the class.

Coupled with his extraordinary performance during the exam and a good score, Yu Chengli may be like most of his classmates, so he can only leave school gloomily, take care of his family relationship early, and enter this new society of reform and opening up.

Seeing Yu Chengli smiling so happily, Li Yange was inevitably a little impressed, and he also smiled slightly, the friendship in his youth was still very pure. In his previous life, because he went to study at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, in the next few years, except for going home for the New Year's holidays to meet Yu Chengli, he basically had little contact.

With the graduation from university, Li Yange stayed in the capital, and the underdevelopment of communication and transportation gradually distanced him from Yu Chengli, and the friendship in his youth slowly faded.

It wasn't until 2005 that he returned to Rongcheng Conservatory of Music from Beijing to teach, and then reunited with Yu Chengli and other old friends, but at that time, everyone's feelings were long gone, and there was just a little bit of classmates.

Yu Chengli suddenly exclaimed: "When did Tianfu Square build a new department store?" ”

Li Yange looked in the direction he pointed, on the outer wall of an old-fashioned gray building across the road, there were six big characters of "Tianfu Department Store", and there were more than a dozen flower baskets lined up at the door.

As soon as he saw that it was Tianfu Department Store, Li Yange's mind suddenly returned to the day he returned to his hometown in his first year of college, and he remembered that he came to Tianfu Department Store with more than 3,000 yuan to choose gifts for his family.

At that time, the per capita monthly salary was dozens of yuan, and even the employees of state-owned enterprises were only two or three hundred per month at most, Li Yange, who was studying in the capital, often went to some song and dance halls with his classmates to work, and saved a huge amount of more than 3,000 yuan in a few months of work-study.

It's like when the general monthly salary is 3,000 nowadays, you earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by working in college, and you go back to your hometown to buy a BBA car during the Chinese New Year, and the rampant feeling of returning home in fine clothes makes people excited and excited.

"It seems to be quite lively, Yan Ge, why don't we go up and have a look?" Yu Chengli was still a young man, and when he saw the newly opened department store, the bustle of people coming and going, made him want to go in and have a look.

Li Yange asked rhetorically, "Did you bring any money?" ”

"Uh... I brought ten dollars, money to go to the video hall to watch a movie. Yu Chengli touched the back of his head.

"There's no money to do it, and it's crowded now, it's so hot, even if the building turns on the air conditioner, I'm afraid it's hot to death, if you want to go yourself, I'm too lazy to go."

There are many varieties of goods in the department store in the 80s, and it is also everyone's favorite place to visit in their daily leisure time, but for Li Yange, who is used to the super shopping malls of later generations, Tianfu Department Store is still too small. It's not bad to go in and blow the air conditioner on weekdays, but it just opened today, and I think there should be a little bit of a good promotion, so many people are still squeezing in to join in the fun, isn't this purely stupid?

"That's right."

Yu Chengli looked at the crowd at the door, and when he thought that he was also squeezing in to join in the fun, the stuffy feeling seemed to have appeared, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still listen to you, let's go back early." My uncle came over this afternoon, and he said that he would take me to Wuhou Temple tomorrow. ”

"Well, it's better to go home early."

Li Yange strode forward, passing by the statue of a great man in the center of Tianfu Square with his left hand behind his back and his right hand resting on the high aloft statue, and the two slogans belonging to this era were hung under the pedestal - "Closely unite around the Party Central Committee and strive for the realization of the four modernizations!" ”

The once familiar slogans that can no longer be familiar, like the imprint of the times, made Li Yange's heart inexplicably a little excited, and now you can still see this kind of revolutionary slogan all over the street, but after a few decades, except for a few villages, more than 99% of the cities have long disappeared.

With the mood of reacquainting himself with this 1986, Li Yange stopped and looked at the way home, and was delayed for an hour.

This made Yu Chengli, who had been following him beside him, wonder, isn't this the only way to go every day when he goes to school?

Li Yange acted as if he had never seen it, and he was still looking around and stopping.

Within a few minutes, when he arrived at the staff building of the No. 1 Woolen Factory, Yu Chengli also arrived home, and he said: "Yan Ge, I'll go back first, I may have to go to Wuhou Temple with my uncle in the next few days, you don't have to look for me, wait for me to come back and bring you gifts." ”

"Okay!"

Li Yange turned around and left in a dashing manner, waved goodbye with his back to him: "Wait for you to come back and bring me a gift." ”

Looking at the back of the departure, Yu Chengli frowned, he always felt that Li Yange was a little different today, as for the difference, he couldn't seem to say.
