December 2022.

Province G, Lincheng City.

"Mr. Qian, then I'll go back first, Xiao Li will drive slower on the road."

A middle-aged fat man pushed his glasses, said hello to Qian Cai, and after speaking, his bloated body squeezed into a white Porsche behind him and drove away in a hurry.

The secretary who pretended to be drunk next to him seemed to be sober, opened the coffee-colored speeding car door in front of Qian Cai, sent him in, went around to the other side and opened the car door to get into the car, and said to Xiao Li, the driver in the front row: "Riverside Villa." ”

Qian only remembered the "return to Shanghai" mentioned by Liu Fatzi at the dinner table just now, closed his eyes and stared, and opened them again after a while, his eyes seemed to be no longer cloudy.

"No, let's go back to the old courtyard of No. 3 Middle School."

After that, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This person, he has a lot of appetite, and he still wants to continue to do the second bid, he can't do construction, but he is good at intelligence, who told him that I want to go back to Shanghai?? It's a pity to follow his chief engineer Chen, I see that he did a good job of wall reinforcement insulation coverage last time, his heart is very careful, and he thinks comprehensively in many places, and he is quite capable, but it is a pity to follow the wrong boss. ”

The beautiful woman next to her didn't seem to be surprised, the back seat was spacious, so she reached out and took off the coat that was stained with a little rain on Qian Cai's body, turned on the rear heater, and her face was slightly disgusted.

"It's a universal law for a layman to lead an insider, don't you often say it? And don't drink like this in the future, it hurts. ”

Her voice was soft, even a little coquettish.

"I don't want to drink either, damn, these people are like they can't do without wine, wine culture, wine culture, people borrow wine to pull in the distance, these people are using wine to kick their noses and faces, what is the future project he will do? Did I promise him future projects? If it weren't for the fact that he was the nephew of Mr. Liu, I wouldn't even be in the mood to maintain peace. ”

The secretary didn't say anything, as if he was used to talking like this, just looked at him, listened to him quietly, and waited for him to vent.

Qian Cai also groaned a little as he spoke, and looked at the sky outside the window.

"I really miss my teens and twenties, it seems that I have endless energy, if I go back to my youth now, I would be willing to let me work, but now I can't, I'm really old."

The beautiful secretary looked at him with a smile and a coquettish voice.

"Mr. Qian, I heard that you were not there for a few days, Director Niu did the bidding for the second phase of Shanghai Qianwan was rejected by Vice President Tang, and the two had a big quarrel in the office, Director Niu said that it was your decision, and you definitely want to go back to Shanghai, I think, it is not easy for you to do it today, why go to the deep pool, you have been very successful."

Qian Cai didn't answer, but just smiled and asked, "Oh? Lao Niu said I was going to Shanghai? Even you know? ”

The secretary quickly covered his lips and pretended to be panicked.

"Rumors, rumors, don't say I said it, Director Niu has a big temper."

Qian Cai showed a hint of sneer: "Heh, rumors? Such detailed rumors? I think it's appropriate for you to stand at the door of the company tomorrow as a monitor. ”

The female secretary looked at him for a while, and found that he was not really angry, and suddenly pulled up the armrest between the two with a smile, and the apricot eyes that lengthened the corners of her eyes stared at Qian Cai, and slowly unbuttoned a shirt, and put her hand on Qian Cai's shoulder, revealing a narrow ravine in the gap of the shirt that he could just see.

"Mr. Qian~ A surveillance camera is only 300 yuan, it's not cheap to ask me, you... Reluctantly. The female secretary whispered softly in his ear, and as she spoke, she pressed it on him again.

Qian Cai glanced sideways, a little white, with black lace on the edges.

He was also slightly drunk, and this time he didn't refuse as before, but leaned over against the woman, closed his eyes and sighed, enjoying the moment of relaxation.

Anyway, there's nothing worth holding on to for him right now, so enjoy the moment first.

Seeing this, the female secretary showed a foxy smile at the corner of her mouth, and took the initiative to hook his hand to her leg, and the two hands kneaded softly on his shoulder.

The female secretary removed all her IQ at the moment, leaving only the most primitive attributes of a woman.

The driver, Xiao Li, silently pushed the rearview mirror up.

"Hmm... Xiao Li, don't go to No. 3 Middle School, go back to the villa. Qian Cai closed his eyes and said leisurely.

This woman... In the end, I still took down the boss.

Xiao Li thought as he hit the steering wheel and prepared to turn around.

I didn't think about it, a big truck with no lights rushed over behind, Xiao Li couldn't look at the rearview mirror, and he was also thinking about things in his heart, and when he turned the corner, he realized that it was too late.

"Bang!"

…

In the distance, a sign had several large letters written on it.

The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears.

…………

After a long time, the buzzing sound in his ears calmed down, and Qian gradually heard some voices from the living room, "Hebei SJZ3.16 incident is gradually detected, and the relevant suspects are now ......" Qian Cai gradually woke up from his stupor, accompanied by his father's angry shout.

"It's almost two o'clock, I'm still sleeping, I'm up for class, and I'm going to take a taxi when it's late!"

"Hmmm......"

"Uh-huh???"

"What a taxi! I asked Xiao Li to pick me up! ”

As soon as Qian finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door was pushed open and hit the wall.

It was as if his father, Qian Zonghua, who had dyed his hair and eyebrows blackened, appeared at the door, holding the seven wolves on his waist with one hand.

"Do you want me to beat you up before you want to get up? Still Xiao Li, I see that you haven't woken up from your dream yet. ”

After graduation, the reprimand, which he had never faced again, came back to his ears, and Qian Caiden bounced out of bed with a spirit.

Some of the beautiful feelings in my heart also dissipated.

How did Dad get up from bed? Is he having a cerebral infarction? Why are you still younger?

With a somewhat chaotic head, he looked at the walls around him as if they had been renovated, and the world was spinning a little.

This time it seems to be a bit violent.

He only remembered being in the car and preparing to go back to the villa.

When you get home... Drink like a fish?

This is the third middle school's house, didn't I ask Xiao Li to send me back to the villa?

……

Qian Cai was reprimanded by his father and stared out of the door, the original night had reached the sunny noon, he only felt that it was a dream, his body was a little unconscious, and he uncontrollably walked the route to No. 1 Middle School more than 20 years ago.

On the bus, when he got on the bus, Qian slowly woke up, and saw a yard in the front row growing up, and his face seemed to be frozen in the teenage Luo Yu, who was holding a book in his hand with his eyes closed and reciting words in a low voice, his long eyelashes blinked, and his eyes opened during the period, but he just stared at the roof of the car, and didn't see him at all.

Even Luo Yu, who grew up together, didn't see me, I'm a shadow now, no one can see me, I'm dreaming, right?

…

Of course not.

When the bus ticket sales lady came to him and stared at him, she told him in a bright way, the old lady can see you.

The eldest sister stared at him, making him a little uncomfortable.

"Eldest sister, now that it's all open, you don't need to scan the health code, right?"

When the ticketing lady heard this, her brows condensed.

"Big sister? You student doll, you don't have any manners at all, what did you just say to let go of the healthy horse? Regardless of whether your horse is healthy or not, we are a bus, you can bring some poultry and vegetables, and you are not allowed to lead the horse! Also, get on the bus and vote! ”

If you don't call your eldest sister, should I call your sister? Why are you forty or fifty years old, and you still let me call you a beauty? Excessive, right?

Qian Cai was speechless, and took out his mobile phone in his bag, but took out a piece of two yuan... There are also five cents.

I could only hand over two pieces.

Qian Cai felt that this dream was very strange, he hadn't seen two pieces of banknotes for a long time, and it stands to reason that he had forgotten what they looked like, but at this time, the two pieces of banknotes were so clear in front of his eyes, and even the earrings of the Uyghur woman on the pattern could be seen clearly.

"Don't you have five cents, what are you doing with two pieces? It's hard to retreat! ”

After that, the eldest sister was not polite, and directly handed back the two yuan, and grabbed the five cents directly from his hand.

Money is a little confused, in what era can there still be five cents of consumption? Also, I dreamed that I only had two pieces of five on me?

To be honest, since it's a dream, it's not too much to carry two banknotes larger than the face value of Tiandi Bank, right?

This will also throw a billion bill in front of her and ask, "Can I lead this bill to the car?" ”

Two pieces of five? Is this dream too restrained?

But it seems that the bus is five cents when he reads, and the money is looking around, he hasn't had such a real dream for a long time, since he returned to G Province in Shanghai, he rarely even dreams, and often gets drunk and sleeps until dawn alone.

Qian Cai looked at the aunt who went to the market to sell eggs with eggs, and Luo Yu, who hadn't seen him by the window in front of him for more than ten years but was still so childish, and the old man who was reading the newspaper with glasses next to him......

The newspaper in the old man's hand had the time written on it, and he could only read the largest words.

April 2001.

In 2001?? Qian couldn't help but lean his head closer, trying to read the contents of the newspaper clearly.

The old man next to him seemed to be against him, seeing that he was too close to his body and leaning away, he turned the newspaper sideways, as if if he let him look twice, he would take advantage of him in vain.

Qian Cai was a little unconvinced, and directly put his head close to the old man, didn't he just glance at the newspaper from you, and you could still eat me? I knew it was a dream, and I couldn't make up the dream area of my brain with the content of this whole board of newspapers, right? Now forcibly interfering with me.

"Young man, this newspaper is only five cents, and you can buy it where you get in the car." The old man spoke.

Qian Cai turned his head to look at him, the distance between the two heads was less than ten centimeters, and at this moment, a stimulating sensation from his nose passed into his brain, making him squint his eyes and fight hard.

This old man's stomach must be bad, and the turbid breath that came out of his mouth at close range when he opened his mouth to speak could make a senior dentist frown.

The taste of this grade, this distance, he can't grasp it at all.

"Yue ......" Qian Cai's stomach twitched, and he quickly stood up and withdrew two meters, never daring to provoke the old man again.

It's definitely not a dream.

A convulsion in the brain accompanied by a stomach twitch and a thought arose.

……

On the playground of No. 1 Middle School, the seventh class of students who were already preparing for the first physical education class were chatting in groups on the playground, Qian Cai walked through the familiar high school gate in a daze, walked along the entrance avenue to the playground, saw the figure of several familiar classmates, patted the iron railing of the playground fence, and the solid feel made him sigh.

"Really, really coming back, I'm just kidding, really let me come back to work??"

Yes, the real touch along the way told him that he had really returned to this era of youth.

Qian Cai is still slowly accepting the reality, grieving the wealth and freedom that left him, and recalling the time-traveling novels and dramas he watched a few years ago, there were already people calling him in the distance.

"Money! Don't have a drink? Get me a bite! ”

It was the third child, Nie Junlin, who still insisted on going to his door every day to eat during the most difficult period of Qian Cai's business, determined to eat his old brother and friend. It is also the spiritual pillar of high school whenever he is second to last in the class in the exam, patting him on the shoulder and telling him "Don't be afraid, there is someone behind you".

When the words fell, Nie Junlin came to him, and Qian came back to his senses and pinched it with his hand...... Forget it, it really hurts him and he has to beat me.

He wanted to pinch the third child, but if it was really April 2001 that he had just seen in the newspaper, the relationship between the two of them was really not good enough to be able to play cards and slap each other's faces in the previous life.

Qian Cai thought carefully, as his brain turned, the memory of the past seemed to be slowly becoming clear, and now he should have just transferred to the first semester of the first middle school, and his father had just been transferred from the position of vice principal of the third middle school to the first middle school, and became the director of the academic affairs office, just to transfer him, a "bad son", to the top class of the school.

I have the impression that my father during this period was a man who tirelessly talked to him every day that he went out to work at the age of twelve, worked hard and studiously, and worked hard to study on his own after resuming the college entrance examination with the education of a primary school student.

Or a man who suffered a crushing defeat in the battle to defend the hairline.

Qian only transferred to the third Nie Junlin to know the third child, both of them entered the top class through the back door, and at the end of the crane in the class, they thought each other were the same kind, and they were often wrapped together to chat and fart to see the girl.

It wasn't until the third year of high school that Qian suddenly woke up and studied hard, but the foundation was too weak and his logical ability was not enough, so he only took three books.

"Hey! Didn't you wake up, did you bring water? Died of thirst. Nie Junlin saw that he was absent-minded and called him loudly.

"Ah...... Yes? No. "The money came back to his senses.

Nie Junlin, who was nervous, didn't notice that Qian Cai was a little distracted today, and said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"Today's first physical education class, Yang Ya and Chen Wenjie are in the playground, just over there, this is an opportunity, brother, our chance! When you play basketball, you let me cover a hat and be handsome, and I will invite you to surf the Internet after school! Okay? ”

"You call my hat an opportunity for both of us? Then tell me, what is opportunity? ”

Qian Cai said and began to look at the flower platform.

Yang Ya, Chen Wenjie?

Qian didn't have much effort to recall these two names, after all, they were beauties.

Yang Ya and Chen Wenjie are both from the same power company compound, and they are now in Class 7.

Yang Ya, with long eyelashes and big eyes, a small and straight nose, a little European and American princess taste, about 1.7 meters tall, has won awards in the city's youth dance competitions several times, and probably wants to take the direction of the art college entrance examination.

And Chen Wenjie is a well-known talented girl in the school, and she wrote a "Dream of Red Mansions" in the final exam, which was explained to students by the teacher in the third year of high school as a model of how to quote scriptures in the college entrance examination essay, which is quite popular with teachers, with a look of one meter six five, short hair, and a little bit of ancient beauty charm on her face.

But it's not Qiancai's dishes, he liked to be sassy in high school, and he didn't like this kind of style when he grew up, this kind of innocent cutie can't arouse his interest.

Although Qian Cai is not interested in opportunities at all now, Nie Junlin's impatient appearance really makes him a little speechless.

When Nie Junlin heard this, he said: "The opportunity is that I get close to Yang Ya, you let me have a treat, why is it not an opportunity?" ”

"Makes sense... Then I'm going to add fried rice. Qian Cai accepted what he said about the "opportunity", thinking that the fried rice downstairs in the new concept Internet café was very delicious when he was studying, and he missed it a lot, and he hadn't eaten this bite for many years.

The third child is a scene person, happily reaching an agreement.

After class, the physical education teacher asked people to go to the teaching aid room to get basketball, and Qian Cai had not yet adapted to the student life that suddenly came, so he wanted to be alone quietly, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the teaching aid room.

On the way through the playground, Qian Cai looked up at the sky, saw a cloud as if laughing at himself, suddenly felt that the world was very real, thought of the anxiety in the dead of night in the past, seemed to be a little regretful and dazed, and then clenched his fists.

"Damn, the old Chinese people say it well, it's all here, so study hard and work hard to be a part-time worker...... Forget it, it's impossible, I can't work, I have to be the boss. ”

Qian Cai adapted to his environment as he walked, slowly recalling this era.
