2. A new beginning
Li Ran came out of the small road, waved at the opposite side of the street, and rushed forward to the tricycle that was parked under the shade of the tree and waiting for "work".
Li Ran asked: "How much does it cost to go to Lotus Park?"
"Leave for two dollars." An old man snatched in front of him.
Getting on a tricycle and watching the scenery on both sides of the street flashed, Li Ran's memory was also evoking Li Ran's memory. The city in his memory was very different from what he saw now.
In my memory, Gucheng Technical School was later converted into Dongfeng Primary School, and the tube building opposite the river was converted into a single apartment.
The road was not far away. The old man pedaled for less than ten minutes. The familiar Lotus Park appeared in front of Li Ran.
Li Ran sat in the place where he fell into the water in his memory, quietly looking at the lotus on the water surface. Behind him was the ancient tower of the Song Dynasty. It is said that the Buddha's true relics were stored in the tower.
When I revisited the old place, the vague memories gradually became clear.
...
Li Ran’s wife should be called ex-wife. Xu Zhuojun is an English teacher at Gucheng High School. Her daughter Li Xiaoyun is in the first year of junior high school and is now living with her mother.
In Li Ran's memory, the couple had a good relationship and the family of three was happy.
After the divorce, my wife took her daughter alone and did not remarry.
My wife enrolled her daughter in a tutoring class from junior high school to junior high school, but she had no time to pick her up. "This morning", Li Ran picked up her and took her daughter to the tutoring class. When her daughter went to class, Li Ran slipped to the Lotus Park near the tutoring class, and sat on the stone by the pond and listened to songs and stared blankly.
...
I was reborn but the memory was a little blurry. I didn’t remember the past as I wrote in the novel. The general context was clear and the details had long been forgotten.
Looking at the lotus flowers in front of him, Li Ran was in a complicated mood.
"Rebirth, you must seize this good opportunity. I want to make a fortune and I want to be CEO to reach the peak of my life." He clenched his fists and encouraged himself.
"Who will pick her up after class?" The next moment he fell into pain again.
After a moment of confusion, Li Ran suddenly thought: "Everything has not changed, so my wife should still be studying in Longjiang Province now! If there is no accident, according to the original trajectory, she will come to the ancient city to find a job in four years..."
"If you marry your wife again, will the daughter you have still had the same daughter? Is this a philosophical question or a physics question?"
...
A breeze blew, and the lotus leaves all over the pond danced with the wind, and the wind chimes on the tower behind were also jingling. The four dragon and phoenix totem poles under the tower that looked more like ** organs were still standing.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Since you come, you can rest assured."
"Am I just coming here like that? Is there no benefit? Where is the system? Where is the old man? Where is the big gift package for beginners?"
Li Ran, who is familiar with various time travel novels, was very unwilling to accept it. He looked around and saw no extra accessories, no strange sounds in his mind; neither "old grandpa" nor system!
I stood there for a few minutes, and there was no "ding" sound in my head.
There was no voice prompt, and no golden light flashed...
"Oh..." sighed.
Li Ran could only say to himself: "Let's take one step at a time"
Li Ran touched his pocket, and only 700 yuan was in his pocket.
After leaving the park, Li Ranyan walked backwards.
“Dong,
Dong
Dong"
If you are so hungry, you must eat immediately.
Once the spirit is relaxed, hunger will come soon.
Look around and there is a noodle shop in front of you, well, "Lin Ji Big Bowl Noodles".
Walked over quickly and walked into the store, it was empty, it was not meal time now.
Li Ran glanced at the menu and shouted: "Boss, let's add two bowls of pork liver noodles, add more scallions and coriander."
"Okay, wait a moment." The boss replied in the kitchen.
Li Ran sat down against the door and pulled the rope to turn on the electric fan.
"Xilihulu" ate two bowls of noodles in a row, and the hunger subsided. Li Ran paid, wiped his mouth, and continued walking back to the dormitory. Although the weather was very hot, it felt OK to walk in the shade of the trees.
Although there are no tall buildings, compared to 20 years later, the city is full of ancient flavor, and the tall sycamore trees on both sides of the main road are lush with branches and leaves.
There is a prominent building on the main road, the trading hall of Tianhe Securities. This is the most impressive building on the entire street. Unfortunately, the times are developing, and this trading hall will be demolished four years later.
As noon approaches, the stock market is closed, but there are still many investors guarding outside the securities hall, hiding in the shade and chatting.
Looking at this grand securities company and the investors who are guarding the company:
Li Ran sighed in his heart: "One win, two draws and seven losses! How many people entered the stock market with their dream of getting rich and finally walked onto the rooftop."
Then he changed his mind: "Hahaha, now I am reborn, a brand new leek (not right, the stock god), the stock god is about to be born!"
"All dealers and retail investors are trembling!"
Li Ran touched his pocket and had more than 600 yuan in his pocket, and the stock god became an ordinary person again.
Finally walking back to school, Li Ran bit the bullet and greeted Zhang Shuigen and his wife.
"Hello Master Zhang, I went to do business in the morning without saying hello."
"It's okay, just go and do it if you have something to do, don't pay attention to me." I was still not satisfied with this, and Li Yinhua next to me didn't even raise her head.
Li Ran didn't say anything anymore, nodded and walked away. The teacher and the sergeant had no interaction, but these two seemed to have something to do with the school leaders, so Li Ranye didn't want to offend them.
After all, he is 40 years old and has experienced the blows of life. Li Ran is more meticulous in thinking about the problems than he was when he was young.
According to the school's requirements, new teachers need to start pre-job training from August 10, so the new teachers recruited by the school this year will be reported in the past few days. The appearance of several old friends flashed into their minds. Although they couldn't remember when they came, Li Ran was still full of expectations when the old friends met again.
"I almost forgot what my colleagues were like when they were young."
The teachers' dormitories in the school are all newly recruited teachers from other places in the past two years. This is a benefit for new teachers. After living for two years, you will have to move out.
Li Ran found that the door of a room next to his dormitory was open.
"Is it Zhou Xiaolong? He lived in this room in the past." Li Ran moved to the door with excitement, leaned over to the door, leaned his head and looked inward.
Zhou Xiaolong is his best brother, who lends money to turn around when he is in trouble, and drives over for hours to drink and chat with him when he is in a low mood.
The person inside was cleaning up the bed, and when he felt someone at the door, he turned around. It was Zhou Xiaolong.
A excited smile appeared on Li Ran's face, and he quickly suppressed it.
"Hi, handsome guy, my name is Zhou Xiaolong." He came over before Li Ran could speak.
