"Collecting wine bottles, scrap metal and old newspapers~"
A waste collector riding a tricycle and shaking a rattle flashed past Lu Fei's eyes.
He stood blankly at the entrance of the narrow alley, looking around at the push bicycles selling popsicles, foam boxes covered with quilts, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law surrounding the tinker, and pots and pans making a sound...
Everything around him was always separated by a layer of alienation. As the sun set, the afterglow shone on his face and also fell on the "Small Intestine Chen" sign.
When the guests arrive, the waiter quickly brings the dishes to the table.
One bowl of braised small intestines, two on fire.
Lu Fei took out his chopsticks from the chopstick holder, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
typical!
In the future, when the storefront is expanded, this smell will no longer exist. If you want to eat authentic braised pork, you will have to find a fly shop in an alley. Another sip of "Arctic Ocean", the smell of orange soda, makes a long-lost sense of familiarity come to your heart.
Thousands.
That's right, he was reborn!
My eyes couldn't help but fall on the thick calendar on the wall:
July 23, 2000.
Before I knew it, I had been adapting here for a week.
On July 16, 2020, one minute before drinking, he was drunk with his friends and performed the most popular kick dance to the melody of "Summer Soseki".
Will this kick take me back to the midsummer 20 years ago?
Damn it, is there such a good thing?
What Lu Fei regrets the most is that during these green years, he did not learn well at a young age, smoked, drank, permed his hair, skipped school and played around.
However, he is a good man, and no one but the elderly would dare to help him!
It was due to my bad luck that I was lucky enough to be drawn into Beiwei Road in the first lottery, which was a famous school for gangsters. Then I caught up with "Young and Dangerous" and made a mistake, turning me into a street kid.
However, the young man did not become the old man.
The prodigal son turned around and finally graduated from Nortel Photography. Although he had a college diploma, he at least had one skill and was admitted as a senior photographer last year.
Officially certified level 3 photographer!
It is definitely not the kind of media that opens a studio, advertising, e-commerce, film and television, Internet celebrities, short videos, Foyuan also accepts, Internet universities also accept, and they accept everyone who comes.
How should we live in this life?
At the beginning of the new century, there are opportunities everywhere, which can make the ancestors' graves emit green smoke, or make the ancestors lie dead. There are also those who fall from the top and fall to the point of eternal destruction, and grass grows on their own graves.
At this time, people around were eating braised pork, talking and laughing. They didn't know what kind of era they were in, but Lu Fei knew.
When we romanticize an era, it has passed.
Now, it doesn't come towards me, I walk towards it.
Dickens said: People have everything before them, people have nothing before them, people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell.
In his last life, he was in the human world, neither up nor down. In this life, he wants to go to the hell of all evils. After all, if I don't go to hell, who will.
Buddha also got into real estate.
"Boss, check out."
He burped, his mouth full of the smell of pig urine, patted his belly, and walked out of the store.
I found my 28-year-old bicycle from the pile of bicycles. It was stained with rust. I took two steps backwards with my legs. I leaned forward and stepped up. I pedaled vigorously and rode it gracefully.
"There is a kind of bird in this world. It was born without legs and can only fly in the sky all its life."
This kind of footless bird is the swift, which was born in Yanjing.
………
The sky was dark, the houses on both sides were low and old, the telephone poles were covered with dense wires, and the street lamps gave off a dim light.
The old BJ had a square shape with clear distinctions between east, west, south and north. Now the rich are in the east city, the rich are in the west, the poor admire literature, and the poor Xuan Wu.
Coincidentally, his family lives in Xuanwu, which has not yet been merged into Xicheng.
"Ding bell, jingle bell."
Lu Fei turned a few streets and entered an alley, with gray bricks and gray tiles, and a narrow alley with broken walls. Looking around, the crowd was also dark, just like walking through an old movie that was yellowed and overexposed. It was hazy, magical, and very
Unreal.
I pedaled along Caishikou South Street, and for a long time I couldn't see a big, white word "DEMOlish" painted on the mottled wall. Developers looked down on this area.
They are either old or small, or they are large courtyards, single-family courtyards, with two, three, four or five families living in them.
He stopped at the door of a courtyard, pushed his bicycle through the doorway-like passage, and when he looked up, he saw a public faucet, a cement pool, and houses on the left and right. The left was pitch black, and the neighbors had moved in with their families.
The building was rented out.
On the right, the lights were bright, the smell of meat was floating in the cracks in the window, and two figures could be seen through the hanging curtains.
"Where's the second child? He's not back yet?"
It was his eldest brother, Lu Yun, who said this, who is 33 years old and 16 years older than him.
When he was one year old, both his parents died in a car accident. Lu Yun had to drop out of school to take over and drive a truck to earn wages. The biggest regret in his life is that he didn't get into the college entrance examination and went to university. He relied entirely on Lu Fei, but he failed and had to do it himself. 53
Entered university at the age of 18.
"Not yet. I'm still relaxing outside. I'll probably be back soon."
The one who talks softly is her sister-in-law Xiao Hongmei, who is a colleague in the same factory as Lu Yun. She is 3 years younger than him. When she first introduced the person to her, she mistook Lu Fei for his "son" and thought it was a second marriage, which made a joke.
I haven't given birth to a child yet, just because I'm afraid that a child will be biased, so I simply raise Lu Fei as his "son" until he can live a stable life, then give birth to a child at an advanced age and go to hell.
"What do you think A Fei should do?" she asked.
"What else can I do? Just repeat my studies! Nowadays, the society is full of laid-off workers. Without a college degree, what can he do in the future, run long distances with me?"
Lu Yun said helplessly: "I'm just wondering, when I was in school I was the top in the class, how could he...how did he get this score, how did he get this score!"
Lu Fei listened to the wall and let out a breath. In 1999, along with Huang Hong's words "If I don't get laid off, who will get laid off?", a wave of layoffs immediately started, and the elder brother and sister-in-law also followed suit.
After 16 years of living like this, the building collapsed, and both workers lost their jobs. It couldn't be easily overcome by just "starting over again."
Looking at the bare jujube trees and the desolate courtyard, he kicked off the bicycle support frame hard, and the sound immediately spread to the house.
"Is it A Fei?"
Xiao Hongmei opened the window, and her frown immediately turned into a smile, "Have you eaten? The food is being heated for you in the room."
"Nope!"
Lu Fei went straight into the room, sat on the folding table, and lifted the rice cover.
Lu Yun handed over the bowls and chopsticks, pulled out the chairs and sat face to face, "Don't wander around all day, I'll find a good school for you. No. 14 Middle School, the teachers are good, you will go to school on September 1st, you know?"
"Eh."
Lu Fei responded, his throat slightly hoarse. He remembered this incident deeply. He spent a lot of money to repeat his studies, all of which came from his eldest brother and sister-in-law's buyout money.
"Let's eat." Lu Yun touched his brother's head.
"Then we have to think carefully about which university to go to?" Xiao Hongmei also brought the hot dishes.
Lu Yun waved his hand, "It's the teacher's responsibility to worry about this, we don't understand either."
"We don't understand, but the sea route understands!"
Xiao Hongmei patted him and said, "She is an undergraduate student!"
"She?" Lu Yun was interested, but hesitantly said, "She has just moved here. She is not a relative or a friend. Is she willing?"
"Why don't you want to? I made an agreement with her. The meat braised in the kitchen is specially prepared for her."
Xiao Hongmei rummaged through her apron pocket, took out a five-yuan note, and changed it to ten dollars, "Hurry up and buy a drink. She likes big white pears, so buy two bottles."
"Sister-in-law, let me go!"
After Lu Fei finished taking the last bite of his meal, he stood up, grabbed the banknotes, and went straight to the nearest small grocery store.
Just when I arrived at the door, I bumped into a woman riding a bicycle. She had a ponytail, single eyelids, an average appearance, and a carefree tomboyish accent when she opened her mouth:
"A Fei, where are you going at night?"
"Sister Hailu."
Lu Fei blinked, even though it was not the first time he met, he was still surprised.
In his previous life, he was supposed to move in with a couple selling breakfast. He never expected that with the butterfly wings flapping, he would catch a car thief, and he would attract such a neighbor——
