Bao Lina didn't know, in fact, after returning to the 90s, I also drove a car once, that is, on Manjue Longshang, and went to the author's house with Li Yun to play. I drove Qian Haiping's Santana there once, and it was also drunk driving. The intimate encounter with the car was very impressive. In the early nineties, even a person with a Xiali car could be called a cadre with a head and a face. Because at that time, there were almost no private car purchases, all of them were unit car purchases, and there was no such thing as private cars. As for the master like Li Shusheng, who drives Daben, he is definitely a heavyweight boss. Therefore, I don't have high requirements for buying a car, and I can be satisfied if I buy a Poussin in the name of the company.

During this year's National Day, I did two things, the first was to go to the city's first car market, Yuantong Auto Plaza, to buy a Santana. Bao Lina felt that this car was not cost-effective, first of all, it exceeded the budget of 100,000 yuan, and she couldn't pull the whole company into the car at one time, and she couldn't go out to do activities. She's probably still thinking about the van. Secondly, the car was too similar to her father's car, and when she saw it, she remembered her father, who was the chief of public security, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

I wondered, Mo Felina was not her father's biological child, that was her stepfather? She didn't seem to like her awesome father at all. This is quite like Li Yun's.

As soon as we got the car, I couldn't wait to ask the people at Yuantong Auto Plaza to help me get a seven-day temporary license plate first, according to the efficiency of the nineties, how about the official license plate will take a week, I can't wait.

The second thing is to drive this Santana, which has just been on the temporary license plate, and go directly to the on-site sales office in the western style town.

This sales office is located in the street house of the newly built style town, and the appearance is much more atmospheric and formal than the sales office set up in the original peasant building.

As soon as Chen Jing saw me, he cheered: "Brother Zhou, hello, I just wanted to call you again." The new house is ready to be delivered, when are you going to invite me to a housewarming wine?"

I cheekily said, "If you want to invite me, you invite me, if you invite me to eat better, I will immediately pass the inspection, haha." ”

Chen Jing looked behind me and saw Bao Lina Shi Ran following behind me, and she immediately asked with a smile, "Is this your girlfriend?" It's beautiful. ”

I said, "Yes, my wife, Bao Lina, of course pretty, hehe, are you jealous?"

Chen Jing blushed and said, "Brother Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about, I won't give you the key to the new house like this." ”

Almost at the same time, Bao Lina pinched my arm hard behind me.

The two of us walked in front with a grin, and Bao Lina followed behind with a hypocritical smile, and walked into the newly built real estate in the western style town along the way.

At this time, the house had just been painted on the façade, and there was a strange smell of lime and paint in the air. The new façade glows with a blue-grey glow, and the sun shines brightly on the faces of the largest real estate development in the early nineties. Whether it is a small green garden, a red brick and stone pavement path, or a small sculpture fountain in the center of the real estate, all present an exquisite and tranquil scene.

We looked at the four houses I had purchased in a row, and I was basically satisfied. Indeed, the orientation and floors of these four houses are quite good, the depth of the bedroom and living room is also very large, which seems to be relatively wide, and the huge window sill lighting is also good. Although there was only one bathroom, it had an area of 12 square meters, which was already a "large bathroom design" ahead of its time at that time.

Looking at these spacious and bright freshly painted rooms, I can't help but think of the poor "house slaves" in the 21st century who gritted their teeth and paid off the mortgage, and in 1994, no one would have thought that after ten years, the house would become the first priority in life.

After looking at the house, signing the acceptance form, and it was getting dark, Chen Jing really wanted to invite us to dinner. She said that she wanted to invite me to dinner when she signed the contract last time, and it was already embarrassing to delay it until the delivery. Just along Wenyi Road, not far from the western town, there is a farmhouse restaurant, and the Dongyang local dishes are delicious.

Chen Jing looked at my car and felt quite novel, and told me that this car is so new.

I said of course it's new, I just bought it.

Chen Jing sighed and said: "Brother Zhou, you are so powerful, you have a house and a car when you are so young." ”

I replied, "Yes, it would be better if you were so young and have a house, a car, a wife and children." ”

At this point, Bao Lina lowered her head shyly, but did not pinch me again.

On the way to the restaurant, the car happened to drive past the Wenyi Road extension under construction. Chen Jing suddenly sat up straight, pointed to the large peasant house being demolished outside the car window, and exclaimed excitedly: "Brother Zhou, look, that pond!"

My heart skipped a beat, and my head unconsciously turned in the direction that Chen Jing pointed to, where I had rented from Li Yun before, and now there was only a ruin-like ruin. I remember a time when I returned to the place where there were still memories, where there used to be a huge street market with a lot of people, but now even that street market is gone.

I didn't see any pond behind the broken wall, because there used to be a lot of willow and camphor trees around the pond, but now I don't see a single tree, only an empty sky.

"Drive carefully!" Bao Lina exclaimed nervously.

I woke up to find that at that moment, our car had passed by another van, and the body of the truck was almost touching Santana's exterior mirror, and I was in a cold sweat.

"There's no pond in sight." I feigned composure and slowed down the car before turning to the side of the road.

Chen Jingsang's face flushed, and he said in a low voice and ashamedly: "I, I just saw it." Forget it, maybe I read it wrong. ”

I know that Chen Jing misses the life in the rental building very much, and I will never forget it either.

We paused for a moment on the side of the road, and I pretended to smile lightly, "Let's go, let's go eat, I'm hungry." ”

Actually, I'm not hungry. I believe that even if that pond was demolished, landfilled, and lost forever, it will remain forever in my new life memories and can no longer be erased.

That day, Bao Lina kept asking me how I was doing and if there was anything uncomfortable.

I said you're too worried, your husband is in good health.

Bao Lina stiffened her face and said, "Who is your wife?"
