"Grind scissors and sharpen kitchen knives~"
"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 push bicycles selling popsicles, quilts covered in foam boxes, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law surrounding the tinker, 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 waiters quickly serve the dishes.
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!
When the store is expanded in the future, 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. Taking another sip of "Arctic Ocean", the orange soda flavor brings a long-lost familiarity to my heart, and I am filled with emotions.
That's right, he was reborn!
His 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".
This kick will 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. When I was promoted to junior high school, I was lucky enough to be drawn into Beiwei Road, which was a well-known school for gangsters. Then I caught up with "Young and Dangerous" and made a mistake, turning me into a street kid.
However, Xiao Pao'er did not become an old Pao'er.
The prodigal son turned around, and finally graduated from Nortel Photography. Although he had a college diploma, he at least had one skill. He 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, covering advertising, e-commerce, film and television, Internet celebrities, and short videos. Foyuan also accepts it, and Internet universities also accept it, and they are all welcome.
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 fake their corpses. There are also those who fall from the top, and fall to the point of no return, 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 going up nor down. In this life, he wants to go to the evil capital hell. 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 semen, 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 feet and can only fly in the sky all its life."
………
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 distinction 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 around 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... Untrue.
I rode 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 scattered in large courtyards, single-family courtyards, in which two, three, four or five families live.
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 with a cement pool. There were houses on the left and right, and it was pitch black on the left. 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 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, 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 through hell.
"What do you think A Fei should do?" she asked.
"What else can I do? Just repeat my studies! Nowadays, society is full of laid-off workers. Without a college degree, what can they 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 come 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 sentence "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 were also laid off.
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 long. I'll find a good school for you. No. 14 Middle School. The teachers are good. You will go to school on September 1st. Do you understand?"
"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, Hailu understands!"
Xiao Hongmei patted him and said, "She is an undergraduate student!"
"Her?" Lu Yun was interested, but hesitated, "She 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 stewed 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 yuan, "Hurry up and buy a drink. She likes to drink 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.
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:
"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, but he never expected that with the butterfly wings flapping, he would catch a car thief, and he would actually attract such a neighbor——
Best Actress, Qin Hailu.
