Looking at the empty room, and then looking at the numbers on the bank card, I used to think that these were the things I wanted the most.

Now I suddenly find that if I lose my youth and don't have the company of my family, what does it mean to me?

In short, I don't want this kind of life.

My ideal life, my house, my money, these are all important to me.

But in addition to these, it is also necessary to have the company of family and a good youth to enjoy, only in this way can it be perfect.

I miss the highlights of our family.

My favorite time is the summer vacation every year, when it is summer, every day after dinner, my father will drag the table of eight immortals aside, then spread a large mattress on the ground, and then the family will lie under the big ceiling fan to watch TV.

Every now and then, my cousin and sister-in-law would bring their two children to our house to watch TV.

My uncle and aunt sometimes come over to watch TV, but they are both older, and after watching for a while, they go back to sleep.

My cousin and sister-in-law, as well as their two children, came home late with us to sleep.

At that time, Channel 8 was playing Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes, and every night before the next episode of the TV series started, my cousin could guess the plot of the next TV series.

I asked him curiously, how did you know?

My cousin said with a smile that this TV series is adapted from Jin Yong's novel, and he had already read Jin Yong's novel when he was in junior high school, so he knew the next plot.

At that time, I didn't know what Jin Yong was doing, and what was a novel?

It wasn't until later that I learned that Jin Yong and Gu Long were both influential figures in the martial arts novel industry of that era.

Later, how I wished that one day, I could be like them!

What I didn't expect was that I would become a novelist and become famous and make a lot of money.

That's all for later.

My father's generation, except for my father, who went to junior high school, no one else had ever read and was illiterate.

And my generation, except for me and my cousin who went to junior high school, and my three older sisters who went to elementary school, everyone else is illiterate.

And I was able to become a writer, which was unexpected.

After all, my level of education is not high, and most of my knowledge is self-taught by me after work.

Then.

During the day, my mother would push the refrigerator to the south side of the bridge to sell popsicles, and I would take a fishing rod to fish by the river at the bridgehead.

One day when I don't want to fish, I catch cicadas under the tree with a bamboo pole, and I can catch a lot of cicadas in a day.

I would break off the wings of those cicadas, take them home, wash them, and let my mother fry them in a pan for me to eat, and it would taste so fragrant and crispy.

At first, my mother didn't dare to eat it, but then she saw that I was eating it very deliciously, so she also took one and put it in her mouth, and after chewing it twice, it still felt quite fragrant.

Since then, my mother has also fallen in love with eating cicadas.

Since my mother and I both fell in love with eating cicadas, many people in the village have also started catching cicadas and eating them.

Within a few years, the sound of cicadas in our village became less and less. I don't know if it's eaten up by people?

The time of youth flies quickly, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and our family's once new house has now become an old house.

The next day, there was a market on Tangwei Street, and I hadn't been in the market for a long time, so I wanted to go around the street.

I originally wanted to go by battery bike, but unfortunately, my mother said that the blue battery bike broke down, and there was no way, so I had to walk to the street.

The blue battery car was bought by my mother by selling the gold necklace at the bottom of her neck.

On my mother's fiftieth birthday, my three older sisters pooled money to buy her a gold necklace, which she loved and wore around her neck every day.

Later, many families in the village bought motorcycles, but my family still rode bicycles, mainly because motorcycles were too expensive, one cost five or six thousand, and I couldn't afford it.

Once, my three sisters took my mother to Shuyang City for shopping, and she found that there were battery cars sold in many places in Shuyang.

Like bicycles, those battery bikes are easy to operate and much cheaper than motorcycles.

So she told her three sisters that she wanted to buy one, after all, it was not a small amount of money, and the three sisters were reluctant to buy it for her.

But my mother wanted it very much, because every time I rode my bicycle to the street, I was so tired that she wanted a battery car so that she would not be tired from going to the market in the future.

So she said to my second sister, "Second daughter, you take my gold necklace and sell it, and then help me buy a battery car." ”

So my second sister took my mother's gold necklace and sold it, then helped her buy a battery car, and then gave her the rest of the money.

After buying the battery car, my mother was very happy, every time she would ride the battery car to the market, she felt that the battery car was really a good thing, with it no matter where she went to get tired.

During the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, I also rode this battery car to send my girlfriend home, and now a few years have passed, many plastic baffles on this battery car have fallen off, and there are many rusty places on the frame.

This car is the same as people, once it gets old, it will go wrong at every turn, either there is a problem here or there.

I had no choice but to walk out into the street.

Tangwei Street is still the same as before, there is no change at all, the middle of the street is still a dirt road, and there are tiled houses on both sides of the street.

Only there is a two-story small building at the west end of the street, which is said to be a building, but in fact, it is an ordinary tiled house with a layer of tiled houses on top, which looks earthy and ugly, and is somewhat nondescript.

That building was the first building on Tangwei Street, and it was also the last building on Tangwei Street, and no one has built a building on Tangwei Street since that building was built.

The second floor of that building was occupied and the first floor was a grocery store, and when I was in elementary school, I used to come here to buy cassette tapes.

Across the street from the building is a game room, and I took a few of my female classmates back to play at technical school last year, and I took them there to play games.

There are also a few computers in the game room, so this is also half an Internet café, and when I used to go to school, I would often come here on Sundays with a few children to surf the Internet.

There is a delicatessen next to the Internet café, and his cold dishes are particularly delicious, and my eldest sister especially likes to eat his cold dishes. The first thing my eldest sister does when she comes back from a part-time job every year is to ask me to come to this deli shop to mix cold dishes for her to eat.

The stalls selling fireworks were full of children, and when I was a child, my dad would take me on his bicycle to buy fireworks on the street every Chinese New Year.

We can't afford those big fireworks, we only buy some small fireworks, which are the kind that children play with, and they are very beautiful when they are lit and held in their hands.

Looking at the dilapidated old streets, as far as the eye can see, every place is nostalgia, all memories of childhood!
