Next Chapter

Sunday, September 22, 1991.

That is, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lu An stood alone at the school gate, watching the bicycles drive from east to west, and the past seemed to be brushing wildly on the one-way street in early autumn.

"Luan, do you want me to take you back?"

Just as he was losing his mind, a pink pigeon bicycle stopped in front of him, and a shy girl asked him tentatively.

Lu An came back to his senses and recognized that this was Liu Hui, a girl from Class 238 of the third year of high school. Since the two often took exams in the same examination room in the past three years of high school, they have changed from slowly acquaintances to friends who will meet and greet each other.

Lu An said: "No, no, I'll walk back, thank you." ”

The reason why he refused was that the homes of the two were not in the same direction and were not on the way.

The second is that the place where he lives is not very far, and it takes about ten minutes to walk.

Hearing this, Liu Hui had a small dimple and smiled sweetly at him, "Then I'll go first, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Lu An said "thank you" again, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Looking at the girl and the bicycle disappearing at the end of the road, he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, his mind was full of fragments of the past, and the reunion with Liu Hui next door just now was like a car accident on a one-way street, and the past was coming one after another.

I was really reborn, and I was reborn at the age of 17.

After a morning in a trance, he hadn't fully accepted it.

Guifei Lane is not far from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, turn left from the No. 1 Middle School into Taohuaping Street, pass through the supply and marketing cooperatives, credit cooperatives, neighborhood committees, district governments, cadre guest houses, tobacco and alcohol grocery stores, public toilets, vegetable markets, Chinese medicine halls, and arrive at the entrance of the alley.

Guifei Lane is famous in Baoqing, and legend has it that there was a noble concubine here, hence the name.

Because the alley is a pattern in the 60s, the depth is not long, and there are only 12 house numbers. As long as anyone stands at the mouth of the alley and howls, every household can hear it.

Lu An lives at No. 9 Guifei Lane, which has been a long time, and the meaning is extremely good. But in fact, there are only two low-rise tiled houses, and a kitchen made of linoleum, although it is not as tall as the tube buildings of the neighbors, but it is a single house.

Walking down the alley, he politely responded to the greetings of others, and at the same time compared the people and things he saw now with his memory.

Then he made a "terrible" discovery, these smiling old people seemed to have been peeled off from the black and white portraits, those smiles were obviously very amiable, but they were inexplicably mad.

Lu An shook his head, threw away distracting thoughts and continued to walk forward.

"During the college entrance examination review, please do not disturb!"

Groping his way to No. 9 Guifei Lane, Lu An was speechless when he saw the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the gate.

This house is a long story, and it doesn't belong to his. Instead, after he was admitted to the first high school in the city, his father's best friend vacated it for him to live. The purpose is to hope that he can feel the warmth in Baoqing City, where he is not familiar with life, and can concentrate on studying.

He's here alone on weekdays.

Lu An, who stayed on the door number for two seconds and remembered something, was not in a hurry to push the door in, but sat under the camphor tree next to him to enjoy the shade.

No. 9 Guifei Lane is No. 7 on the left and No. 10 on the right, both of which are four-storey tube buildings.

Diagonally opposite is No. 8, a two-story residential building, and the residents are the head of the supply and marketing section of the cigarette factory. His second son and himself are classmates, and they are usually friends who often play together, so they know each other...

Just as he was picking at the past from his memory, the door No. 9 in the back "squeaked", and suddenly the door opened.

A young man came out of it.

The young man's name is Lu Xueping, about 35 years old. Comb a big back hair, the upper body is a very popular gun lapel suit in this year, with a pair of fat and big prince pants, 14 pleats on the waist, and a pair of black leather shoes on the feet, very spirited.

This is Lu An's cousin, who works as a reporter on the city TV station. At the same time, he is also a believer in Ximenqing, a remnant transitional product in a period of great social change.

This fang's face is like a crown of jade, and his appearance is better than Pan An, and he caught up with himself after a loss of appearance, Lu An secretly admired.

Of course, the number of people's suave roads can't catch up with him, he has to add.

Lu Xueping took down the sign "Do not disturb during the college entrance examination review", threw it in the corner of the courtyard, and then strode out.

She was followed by a woman with a beautiful face.

Since this woman is one of the many wildflowers of my cousin, she is destined to be a passerby. This kind of person Lu An never greets or remembers his name.

Seeing Lu An waiting outside the door, Lu Xueping didn't talk any nonsense, put his right hand in his pocket, and neatly took out 10 yuan and stuffed it to him.

Lu An was not polite, took the money and said, "5 more yuan." ”

Lu Xueping, who was carrying the woman forward, waved his hand behind his back, and said without looking back: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can buy moon cakes for the extra 5 yuan." ”

Lu An is too lazy to be hypocritical, the salary of the craftsmen in the village is only 12 yuan this year, and the salary of ordinary workers is 10 yuan.

5 yuan is half a day's salary, don't be stupid.

After evaluating the woman's back, muttering a "fair" evaluation, he walked through the door.

First, he hung the sign in the corner of the door that said "Do not disturb during the college entrance examination review" on the wall, then closed the courtyard door, and then went inside.

After not coming back for decades, Lu An stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the grapevines that did not bear grapes and the yellow flower seedlings full of cucumbers, and was full of emotion for a while.

Different eras have different imprints, and with the advent of the new century, these will be demolished under the slogan of "economic development" and will disappear from then on.

So now he can still see the old things, and he has an indescribable feeling in his heart.

There are mixed tastes, cherished ones, and some wandering and overwhelmed...

...

The vines were planted in Mengqingchi, and they grew wildly in the patio but did not bear a single fruit.

Cucumber seedlings are seeds brought from his hometown village.

Throughout the summer, the fruit he eats the most is cucumbers, and the vegetables he eats the most are cucumbers.

It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early. In the past few years, although he has been young, he has been very good at cooking, and he can make several tricks with a single cucumber.

For example, stir-fried cucumber shreds, boiled cucumber slices, cucumbers, pickled cucumbers, pickled cucumbers, etc.

Confidently, if there were other side dishes, the cucumber in his hand would be better than the meat.

Picking a cucumber and fooling around with it a few times, Lu An took a big bite in his hand, pushed the door and walked into the hall.

Well? Odorous.

When I pushed the door, I smelled a strange smell.

He stood in the doorway and saw the old couch that was crumpled and unshapely, and his face was shaking.

Good for you, Lu Xueping! I know that this 10 yuan is not so easy to take.

Now he is so arrogant that he doesn't clean up the crime scene.

You wait for the old man, next time the price will increase, Lu An made an account for the bastard in his heart.

He put down his school bag, found the toilet water and sprayed it everywhere, opened the doors and windows, and then walked around the hall before walking to his bedroom.
