It was six o'clock in the evening when he got home. The meal had been prepared. While eating, Liu Ziguang briefly recounted what happened in the provincial capital. He heard that his future daughter-in-law was resolute and was willing to follow her son wholeheartedly. The old couple let go.
Heartbroken.
"Three years will be three years. Take advantage of these three years to make some money. House prices may drop a little, and I can buy you a larger two-bedroom apartment." My parents said this.
As for Deputy Director Yuan's obstruction, Liu Ziguang advised her this way: "Fang Fei's parents have agreed to divorce a long time ago. This old lady has not fulfilled her duties as a mother at all. Mr. Fang didn't say anything. When will it be her turn to interrupt?"
, let’s ignore her.”
…
After Liu Ziguang had dinner, he went out for a stroll in his slippers. As soon as he walked out of the alley, someone called him from behind: "Liu Ziguang."
When he looked back, he saw a young woman about thirty years old, holding a handbag and looking at him with a smile.
"Are you...Liu Xiaojing?" Liu Ziguang couldn't believe his eyes. Liu Xiaojing was also his junior high school classmate. They were all children of Chenguang Factory. They lived in a large courtyard, went to school in the same class, and were in the same class. Speaking of which, she was still Liu Ziguang.
The ignorant first love is of course just unrequited love.
The innocent little girl who used to have braids was now noticeably fatter and had some shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. It was obvious that she was not well maintained. This is the tempering of time. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, you still remember me, that's good." Liu Xiaojing came over and looked at him with a smile, "I heard that you are back, where are you doing now?"
"Oh, it's been a long time since I came back. It's been almost half a year. Now I'm doing real estate work. By the way, how about you."
"I work as an accountant at RT-Mart Supermarket. It's been raining these past few days. I'm worried about leaks in my old house, so I came here to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you. What a coincidence."
The two walked while talking. It turned out that Liu Xiaojing also lived in Gaotupo. Later, she moved away when she got married. Later, she took her parents to live there. The old house here was empty. She came to visit occasionally.
The two walked side by side for a while and came to the entrance of the alley. A gray domestic car was parked quietly on the side of the road. The people in the car saw their wife walking with a strange man and quickly came out and looked at Liu Xiaojing suspiciously.
.
"Husband, look who this is?" Liu Xiaojing waved.
The man came over, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Liu Ziguang carefully, and Liu Ziguang also looked at him. He was wearing straight navy blue trousers, black Lilang business men's clothes, his head was parted meticulously, and he had a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked...
A person with status.
"Liu Ziguang!"
"Zhou Wen!"
The two recognized each other at the same time. It turned out that Liu Xiaojing's husband was also Liu Ziguang's junior high school classmate, and he had a crush on Liu Xiaojing back then. Time flies, and the young boys and girls back then have grown up, and they have also married.
Now that we are married, it is really sad to think about it.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Xiaojing to be married to you. How is it? How old is the child?" Liu Ziguang took out Zhongnanhai and asked Zhou Wen to draw it.
"Come on, come on, smoke mine." Zhou Wen looked at Liu Ziguang's cigarette case, pushed it over with a smile, and reservedly took out his own Jin Nanjing to fill Liu Ziguang's cigarette.
"My child is three years old. I bought a car for the convenience of going to school. How about it?" Zhou Wen didn't bother to say goodbye and was eager to show off his new car in front of Liu Ziguang.
Liu Ziguang looked at the domestic car back and forth. Apart from its relatively trendy appearance, he really couldn't see anything special about it, so he could only boast: "Not bad!"
"It's more than good, it's simply a magic car. Chery A3, four-link independent rear suspension, built-in esp active anti-skid system, front and rear all-steel bumpers, designed by famous Italian designers. Such a generous configuration, if it is an imported brand, it will cost at least 15
More than 10,000 yuan." Zhou Wen said with a beaming eyebrow, his eyes sparkling, as if what he bought was not a car, but a second wife.
"Not bad, not bad, really good." Liu Ziguang quickly praised, and then asked: "Zhou Wen, you are doing well. You have become a car owner. Where do you work?"
The excitement in Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly dimmed, and Liu Xiaojing said from the side: "Zhou Wen works in the subdistrict office, and his salary is not high, but he is a civil servant at least, and his income is guaranteed despite droughts and floods."
"Forget it, I'm just a clerk. I look at people's faces all day long. I don't want to work anymore." Zhou Wenyan said insincerely, but Liu Ziguang could see a trace of pride on his face. Of course, these laid-off workers in Gaotupo
In front of them, the little clerks are beyond their reach.
"Yes, the land in the kindergarten cannot be rented out recently, and Zhou Wen is under a lot of pressure. Actually, it has nothing to do with him. The section chief doesn't care, so we, Zhou Wen, are in charge." Liu Xiaojing said.
Liu Ziguang's heart moved and he asked: "Is it the land of Gymboree Kindergarten? If the price is right, I would like to rent it."
"You?" Zhou Wen looked at Liu Ziguang in disbelief, "Even if that land is haunted, the price will not be low. If you have friends who want to rent it, you can contact me."
Zhou Wen said, taking a business card to Liu Ziguang, and then remembered to ask: "By the way, Liu Ziguang, where do you work?"
"I work in Zhicheng Group, doing real estate."
"Oh, that company is quite big. It would be best if you have acquaintances at the top. Ask them to pay to rent that place, and I'll treat you to a drink."
"Okay, I understand." Liu Ziguang put the business card away. Zhou Wen and Liu Xiaojing got into the Chery A3, waved to him, put the car in reverse with unfamiliar movements, and drove away.
After sending the couple away, Liu Ziguang walked a few steps forward, squatted in front of Uncle Guo's car repair stall, handed him a cigarette and said, "Uncle, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, how are you going to spend it?"
Uncle Guo was repairing a tire on a bicycle. He held a file in his calloused hand and said cheerfully: "How can I live like before? Just buy two packs of mooncakes and buy them for Xiaosi and a few bastards."
A piece of ham is considered a holiday."
Xiao Si, who was sleeping on one side, sat up in a very humane manner, came over and took Uncle Tian Guo's hand, purring twice in his throat, like a child acting coquettishly. In the nest where it was lying, four pink puppies were waiting for food.
.
Liu Ziguang took out five yuan and handed it to the puppy: "Xiaosi, go buy cigarettes."
Xiaosi's eyes were shining, and he went to a nearby shop to buy cigarettes with the money in his mouth. Liu Ziguang said: "Uncle Guo, how about this? Come celebrate the festival with us. I will book a big room in the hotel and we can have fun together."
one time."
"That's not good, I'm used to being alone." Uncle Guo smiled kindly.
"It's okay, it's settled, Peace Hotel, I'll pick you up when the time comes." Liu Ziguang said, just about to stand up, he suddenly stared at Uncle Guo's dark coat curiously and said: "Uncle, you are so
The style of this gown is quite fashionable. If it is cleaned and tidy, it will definitely be sharper than Brother Sharp."
Uncle Guo smiled and said: "It's been an old product for decades. It has no other advantages. It is weatherproof, waterproof, fireproof, windproof and coldproof, and can be worn all year round."
Liu Ziguang asked in surprise: "What kind of clothes are these?"
This top has been worn by Uncle Guo for a long time. It can only be vaguely seen that the background color is green and covered with various kinds of sludge and dirt, but it is thicker. It has four exaggerated large pockets and aluminum zippers. It is cool. The stand-up collar, coupled with Uncle Guo's weather-beaten face full of ravines, gave him a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Haha, the old American military uniforms, they all wear these regardless of the three armies." Uncle Guo said.
"Oh, I remembered." Liu Ziguang suddenly realized that Rambo was wearing this in the movie First Blood.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous old man who repaired cars was actually wearing a Vietnam War version of the M65. If you look closely, you can see that the elbows and cuffs are all frayed. He must have been wearing old clothes for decades. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but sigh, this man from The old man who repaired bicycles in the alley when he was a child must have had a glorious past, but he was so low-key and ordinary that no one ever noticed him.
With his interest rising, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but observe Uncle Guo carefully. To his disappointment, except for this authentic military version of the M65, Uncle Guo's other clothes were very ordinary. Blue canvas pants and Jiefang shoes were all. It is a cheap item that can be bought in labor protection supply stores.
Suddenly, when Uncle Guo lowered his head to get the glue, a light flashed on his chest. Liu Ziguang noticed that it was a watch, tied up with a leather strip and hung in his clothes. He asked curiously: "Uncle, why are you still wearing a pocket watch?"
"It's not a pocket watch, the watch strap is broken, so I found a rope to hang it up." Uncle Guo said, taking off the watch and showing it to Liu Ziguang. It was a very old Shanghai brand watch with engraved on the outside of the black dial. Degrees, the numerical symbols and hands inside are very thick, and they seem to be coated with a layer of fluorescent material. The Chinese and Pinyin trademarks of Shanghai are at the 12 position of the dial, and the words 24 diamonds and Made in China are printed at 6 o'clock. There is also a small window that displays the date. The watch is very worn, but it still keeps accurate time, and the second hand moves clatteringly.
"Hey, what kind of watch is this? It's quite old." Liu Ziguang remembered that his father also had a Shanghai brand watch when he was a child. It had an elastic metal strap and a steel case dial. I heard that my father bought it when he got married. At that time Popular things like watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, etc. Those who can afford these are those with a relatively high standard of living, but my father’s old Shanghai watch is obviously not as popular as Uncle Guo’s watch.
"This watch." Uncle Guo held the watch and sighed, as if he had returned to endless memories of the past. Suddenly, a harsh brake sound sounded in the distance, followed by the shrill barking of a dog.
No, Xiaosi was run over by a car! Uncle Guo and Liu Ziguang got up at the same time, but Liu Ziguang moved faster after all. He ran over and saw a white BMW 520 hit a tree with its head on, and there was a pool of blood under the car. When I came out, a woman in the driver's seat screamed: "Oh my god, you scared me to death. Whose dog is this!"
