The whole nineties was a period of great construction in Shanghai, with roads and bridges being dug everywhere and construction sites everywhere.

Yan'an Road, which runs through the entire city, is building a viaduct, and the wide road has been compressed into two lanes in both directions.

The road conditions have been driving out of the city to gradually improve, the accidental death of the previous life made him a little more cautious and life-saving, Rao is on the 318 National Highway where there are not many vehicles, and the speed of the motorcycle is still maintained at 60-70 yards.

The road of more than 40 kilometers took nearly an hour, and it was already on the main road in the hometown county. This is a suburban county in the southwest of Shanghai, located in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake and the upper reaches of Suzhou Creek, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the eyes of Shanghainese, the countryside is all outside the city. When people from suburban counties go to the city, they don't say they go to the city or anything like that, but they say they go to Shanghai. Because before the fifties, the so-called Greater Shanghai was limited to the central urban area, and the nine surrounding suburbs were all subordinate to the next province at that time. Later, the administrative region was redivided, and the current Shanghai was formed.

The county seat is not big, but it is very lively.

Li Tang was both familiar and unfamiliar with everything in front of him. He not only inherited the memories of this body, but also integrated all the emotions of this body.

Familiarity is this life, and strangeness is the past life. The air here is filled with more smoke and fire than in the United States.

Follow the main road for a few hundred meters and cross the bridge into a side street. It is adjacent to the city river, a slippery façade room, and the light box signboard is colorful.

Nearly 100 meters of small street, at the end of the street is a three-room restaurant, through the large glass window, the voice of people inside. The sidewalk in front of the door is full of all kinds of bicycles and scooters, and there are a few Santanas and vans in the open space next to it.

Li Tang entered a small alley next to the hotel, the façade room was connected to the courtyard behind, and a door was open on the courtyard wall. He stopped the cart and entered the door, half of the small courtyard was occupied by the kitchen, with a pergola and a sink, where the vegetables and dishes were washed. There are also three bungalows along the riverbank, which are the storerooms of the hotel.

"Ouch, the little boss is back!"

"Little boss, I came back alone, why didn't my girlfriend bring it back?"

There are two middle-aged women in the yard, one killing fish and the other washing dishes.

"Uh-huh, I'm back."

Li Tang responded vaguely, parked the car and asked, "Where is my dad?" ”

"Upstairs in the private room, the people from the bookstore are here."

"Oh."

Don't underestimate the bookstore these days, in addition to opening a store to sell books, people are also responsible for the textbooks of primary and secondary schools in the county, a unique business, and the rich are very rich.

Every month, the person in charge of each store in the township will come to the county for a meeting, and the hospitality meal will be placed in his own restaurant, which is also a big customer.

"Little boss, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry now, I'll come down and eat by myself in a while."

The hotel has three floors, the lobby on the first floor, the box on the second floor, and the third floor is where the father and son live.

Li Tang said hello to the two aunts and ran upstairs.

The third floor is a three-bedroom and one-living room layout, and the aunts in the store often come up to clean up, which is quite neat and clean.

Li Tang turned on the air conditioner first when he entered the door, took his clothes and went into the bathroom. drove all the way back, and the whole person was already frozen.

The hot water was swaying, and the hot skin was a little red, and it was only then that he was relieved.

He stood in front of the mirror with a big towel to dry it, and the spiritual guy in the mirror looked very thin, but his muscles were strong, well-defined, and his lines were smooth, with a handsome face and a net height of 179.5, he could definitely be on the cover of a magazine only by external conditions.

I changed into cotton pajamas, and when I came out of the bathroom, I smelled a strong fragrance. There was a pot on the coffee table in the living room, lamb haggis, sheep blood, and thick white mutton soup, sprinkled with a handful of garlic leaves, which was grunting on a low fire.

Li Tang felt hungry instantly when he smelled the smell, and hurriedly walked over to scoop a bowl of soup, blew on it, and drank it in small sips. After a few bites, my stomach was warm and my whole body was full.

"Why do you want to come back today?"

Lao Li walked in from the door with a plate, a plate of neatly cut white water mutton, and a plate of roasted mandarin fish, all of which his son usually likes to eat.

"Busy, I'll be back after the rehearsal is over."

Li Tang has been here for half a year, and he hasn't been back a few times, and more than a month has passed since the last time he went home, no wonder Lao Li is not satisfied.

"How's the rehearsal?"

"It's good, it's going to be officially performed after the New Year."

"Can you go on stage?"

"I'm the B corner, looking at the opportunity."

Li Tang said, he couldn't wait to clip a piece of mutton with skin and dip it in his own secret sauce, the mutton was fragrant and glutinous, and there was no trace of smell.

"Dad, eat some old wine!"

This thing is delicious.

"Well, eat a little."

After all, it was a happy thing for his son to come back, Lao Li took a bottle of Wuliang alcohol, didn't take the cup, and poured it directly into the bowl.

When pouring wine, I didn't forget to advise: "If you are in Shanghai, don't drive a motorcycle after eating old wine." ”

In fact, he has always been opposed to his son's purchase of a motorcycle.

Happiness motorcycle has three generations, happiness 250, commonly known as "cannon"; Imitation Suzuki 125 and the third generation of the Happiness 90 "Prince Car". Motorcycles are wrapped in iron, and the danger factor is extremely high, and it is said that the first batch of "cannons" that year have almost died.

"Know, don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving." Li Tang replied very slippery.

"It's good to know. Enough banknotes? ”

"Enough! I have transferred the living expenses sent by my wife to a fixed time, and I haven't touched a penny. ”

He now has a salary of more than 1,000 per month, a subsidy for rehearsals, a dubbing, a commercial or something, and extra money, and he doesn't have to pay rent and now he doesn't have a girlfriend, which is enough for expenses.

Lao Li took a sip of wine, smashed it and said: "Tsk, you don't have to be too provincial, you don't have much money when you come back from a bad taxi (taxi), what kind of motorcycle do you drive!" Oh yes, how much did your mother send you this time? ”

"The old rules, five thousand dollars." Li Tang took a sip of wine and a bite of food, and ate happily.

5,000 dollars is 5,000 dollars.

Lao Li snorted: "A professor at an American university has more than 100,000 US dollars a year for less lectures, 5,000 dollars, so embarrassed!" ”

Li Tang looked up at Lao Li's unhappy face, and explained: "There is no such exaggeration as hundreds of thousands, I estimate that she is only 70,000 or 80,000 a year at most, and it is good to be able to give me 5,000." ”

said and comforted my father: "Actually, I told her last time my mother called, I have worked, and I don't need to send banknotes to ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Lao Li: "Why don't you do it?" Felling! Don't let Yi's dollars be in vain, this is what Yi owes you, you know! ”

"Oh."

Li Tang had no choice but to nod.

At the same time, he sighed secretly, after so many years, his father's heart knot is still unsolved.

The son of a landlord, the daughter of a capitalist, the fish looking for fish, the shrimp looking for shrimp, or huddling together for warmth, are all caused by the buzzing era.

Dad undoubtedly loves his mother, although he is married, although he already has children, he still supports his mother's college entrance examination.

went to college, studied abroad, and then Huang He never returned, and he was a female version of Chen Shimei.

Li Tang used to hate his mother, but now he understands it very well, because the old lady Ms. Tang and his parents in his previous life are the same kind of people.

In the 80s, a college student who graduated from a prestigious school saw the colorful world of the United States again, and it was difficult to have love with a buyer of a rural supply and marketing cooperative, because they were people from two worlds.

Although Ms. Tang and Lao Li are divorced, they have not given up their responsibilities, and the alimony has not been interrupted for so many years. In one point, Li Tang still agrees.

Besides, Ms. Tang has already reorganized her family in the United States, and she has two children, so why bother with it.

He glanced at his self-infent father, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's been so many years, so forget it." She's a professor at an American university now, but we're not doing a bad job. ”

When his parents divorced, Li Tang was already in elementary school. Although it was not easy for my father to take him with this oil bottle at first, Lao Li was bold and shrewd, and soon made the first pot of gold by selling foreign cigarettes.

Later, the supply and marketing cooperatives were sluggish, so they simply resigned and opened a restaurant. In the past few years, the hotel business has become more and more prosperous, earning this three-story façade room of nearly 400 square meters, and now it is easy to earn 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a year.

"Forget it? Hum! ”

Lao Li picked up the bowl hatefully, took a big sip of wine, picked up the haggis in the pot, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Okay, I'll not say anything. Dad, come, I salute you. ”

It was rare for the two to sit together and drink, and Lao Li didn't want to mention these unpleasant old things, so he glanced at his son and asked, "How are you and Binbin?" ”

"Broke up."

"Ah...... No, what's the situation? ”

Lao Li just stretched out the chopsticks and looked at his son in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm in Shanghai, and she went to the capital, so it's definitely unrealistic to be together." Li Tang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"You can't find a way to get her to stay!"

"That's the Beijing Experimental Repertory Troupe, let her stay and maybe fight? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if she can stay in Shanghai, it is not certain whether she can go on. Li Tang said calmly.

"Uh......"

Lao Li was speechless by his son, and was stunned for a while before he turned into a faint sigh: "It's a good little girl, you are really not blessed." ”

"Okay little girl, yes, take your time." Father Li Tang Dynasty smiled.

She is a woman who is destined to become a big star, and he doesn't want to be a stumbling block in the way of others.

"Okay little girl, yes, you can bring me another one." Lao Li was very dissatisfied with his son's understatement and reprimanded.

He has a very good impression of Binbin, and he is already the daughter-in-law in his mind.

"There's no hurry, there will be opportunities in the future."

Li Tang didn't want to entangle with his father on this topic, so he smiled and said, "Otherwise, you can bring me a stepmother back first." ”

"Hey, you little short-sighted, it's up to Lao Tzu."

Lao Li put down the wine bowl heavily, and used chopsticks to make a gesture to hit.

Li Tangcai is not afraid of this, since he was a child, Lao Li has never moved a finger of himself.

As far as his father is concerned, he has no culture, and Lao Li, who seems to be a big and rough one, is much stronger than his professor Daddy in his previous life. Living in a single-parent family since childhood, he can still make the former Li Tang grow up happily, and his personality is cheerful and open-minded, which shows that Lao Li is a good father.
