Chapter 4 Next, Intersection, See
At about 20:10 on the evening of April 30, the opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo was held at the Shanghai World Expo Cultural Center. The Shanghai World Expo is the first comprehensive world expo to be held in a developing country, and the 184-day exhibition period is expected to attract 70 million visitors from home and abroad. The theme of the Shanghai World Expo is 'Better City, Better Life'......"
On the cashier counter of the corner supermarket, although the silver Desheng radio has lost its paint, it still clearly plays the news of the day. The FM pointer is still stuck in FM102 - Xiangcheng Traffic Radio.
Qin Zhen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and imagined that he was sitting in the live broadcast room of this frequency, hosting the show like Lin Feng, and the corners of his lips and eyebrows were full of smiles.
Time is a spinning top that rotates at a constant speed, and it does not stop because of happiness or hardship. Since that suicide attempt, Feng Lijun has changed her role, no longer running away, but choosing to bear this broken home with her weak shoulders. With the help of her neighbors, she cashed out a small supermarket on Front Street and sold goods for Qin Zhen to go to school.
And the voice of the big brother on the radio decorated Qin Zhen's gray youth with the only bright color, and at the same time, it also quietly planted a seed of ideals in her heart - she also wanted to be a radio host like Lin Feng. During the college entrance examination, the high tuition fees of art majors discouraged Qin Zhen. Eventually, she chose to major in radio and television journalism in a coastal city.
When she was about to enter her senior year of internship, Feng Lijun called and brought a news that made her very excited - Xiangcheng Traffic Radio was recruiting hosts, with a wide range of conditions and no professional restrictions. So, Qin Zhen asked for leave from the school and returned to Xiangcheng to apply for a job. After two rounds of screening in the written test and interview, Qin Zhen was successfully admitted to Xiangcheng Traffic Broadcasting. Although she was only ranked second to last among the six people admitted, she was finally admitted.
"Oh, you kid has such a big heart! I'm going to work on the radio station tomorrow, what else do you see? Feng Lijun entered the supermarket in a hurry, stretched out her hand and turned off the radio in front of Qin Zhen, "Closed today!" Go, go! ”
Qin Zhen, who was sitting at the cash register, smiled: "Mom, where are you going?" ”
"This stupid boy, I'm going to work tomorrow, I have to hurry up and buy two decent new clothes!"
"Mom, no need. I have clothes to wear. ”
Feng Lijun pulled the half-new white T-shirt on Qin Zhen's body, and said angrily: "Is this the clothes you wear to work?" Don't let new colleagues laugh at it? Hurry up, Mom will buy you a dress! ”
As she spoke, she stroked Qin Zhen's boy-like short hair with her rough hand, and with a little reverie, she whispered, "This hair should also be saved." Long hair looks good in a skirt! ”
Qin Zhen looked at his mother's messy short hair and the faded old shirt on her body, and her heart was mixed. Why doesn't she miss her mother with long hair and fluttering skirts?
The days when the mother and daughter were dependent on each other were obviously difficult. When the supermarket first opened, there were always some ruffians and gangsters who deliberately used the excuse of buying things to move on Feng Lijun.
Feng Lijun took out the pungent energy in the bones of the Northeast women, first joked with them, twisted around, and wrapped tightly, then picked up the broom and pinched her waist and yelled.
It was at that time that she ruthlessly cut her long hair like ink, and never cleaned herself up carefully. Because in the face of survival, everything that is useless and will bring trouble should be abandoned.
"Mom, when I pay my salary, I'll buy you a dress." Qin Zhen turned his head and said to Feng Lijun with a smile.
Feng Lijun gently pushed Qin Zhen's head, and her smile hid helplessness: "Mom stays in the supermarket all day, what skirt is she wearing?" You just have to have this heart. Alright, pack up and go! ”
She took out the sign that was closed and asked, "What time is it tomorrow?" ”
"Oh, gather at the gate of the Radio and Television Building at half past eight, and then go to the three hospitals for a physical examination together."
"Do you still need a medical examination? Then you eat more in the morning, don't weigh yourself and make people think you're too thin. ”
"Mom, people require an empty stomach for physical examinations!"
"Oh, mom is a layman. In short, behave well! ”
Qin Zhen was amused by Feng Lijun: "Hahaha, Mom, how to behave in the physical examination?" Tell me that you all have to be obedient? ”
"Hahahaha, you kid!"
The mother and daughter laughed and laughed and went out the door.
But Qin Zhen didn't buy a skirt in the end. First, because the dress Feng Lijun took a fancy to was too expensive, she was reluctant; The second is because of how awkward the dress looks on her.
Feng Lijun sighed at the big mirror in the shopping mall: "Alas, how did my good girl grow into a 'tomboy'?" ”
Qin Zhen didn't mind, because "tomboy" was her own choice.
At the beginning, the neighbors saw that Feng Lijun was in difficulty, and they all came to her as a matchmaker. But Feng Lijun's harsh conditions discouraged all men who missed her. She said that she can only have a child like Qin Zhen in her life. The person who wants to marry her cannot have children, nor can she have children after marriage.
Qin Zhen knew that her mother was afraid that she would be wronged. Therefore, she wants to grow up quickly and help her mother share more. Every day after school, she helps Feng Lijun look at the store, and writes homework with the radio while checking out the bills for customers. If she encounters trouble with her mother, she will rush forward first, more fierce than Feng Lijun.
At that time, the neighbors all laughed, "Why does Xiao Zhen look more like a kid as she grows older?" But Qin Zhen wished that he was really a boy, so that he could protect his mother.
The next day, Qin Zhen wore a newly bought dark blue jacket and jeans, stepped on Feng Lijun's broken 28 bicycle and set off.
Feng Lijun chased out of the supermarket with ten yuan in her hand, and shouted loudly at the thin back: "Take a taxi!" Come back, mom will give you the money! ”
Qin Zhen turned his head, waved at Feng Lijun with a smile, and then turned and walked out of the alley.
"This kid rides a broken car, and he's not afraid of jokes from his new colleagues."
Feng Lijun sighed, with a look of relief and guilt on her face.
"The subway just got off is not crowded,
Your plane happened to land as well.
Tokyo rain drenched in Paris,
Radio, what time do you listen? ”
When there's a you're halfway around the world
When the time to meet is not yet right
……”
Turning into an intersection, Li Yuchun's mellow voice floated from an unknown small shop. Facing the cool morning breeze of April, Qin Zhen let go of the handlebars and stretched his arms like a happy bird. She felt that she and Lin Feng would definitely meet at the next intersection like the name of this song. But she ignored that there was such a sentence in the lyrics - "The time to meet has not yet arrived"......
