Chapter 12 Mickey and Minnie. ", 1998.
Kang
I folded the map and put it in my schoolbag. I think it should be useful.
928 yuan, is that enough? I have already advanced my mother's pocket money for next week.
I have a train schedule, two bottles of mineral water, and I want to buy some snacks at the Welfare Society.
God, what am I thinking? It's not like I'm going hiking in elementary school.
And my plain clothes, yes, this is my only T-shirt that looks the most popular, Mickey and Minnie are holding hands, and this light blue jeans.
My walkman recorded the cracked part of the box cover, but it was ok. I tried, and it still works.
Well, that should be enough.
Today is Saturday and Tuesday. Du told me that she wanted to come to Taipei to see me after class at noon this Saturday.
Only the two of us will go together, she said. This is the first secret between us, and we are not allowed to tell anyone. So I told my dad that I would go to my classmate's house to review, and then go home later. Moreover, Jade Conservation just asked me if I wanted to stay and practice with him, so I made an excuse to refuse.
Yes, to Taipei. I remember the only time I went to Taipei when I was two years old. ...
Forget it. I don't remember it at all. My dad told me that he took me to Taipei to find relatives when I was two years old. I have no impression of Taipei at all.
However, I think Taipei should be very lively, just like the pictures often broadcast on TV. There are neon lights everywhere, every man and woman is good at dressing up, the house is big, there are crowds everywhere, and there are many record stores that can buy many newly released albums, unlike the only one here called "Earthquake Record Store" (next to Liao Mama's dumplings on the street). ), the only complete one should be The Complete Works of Feng Feifei selected by Teresa Teng.
The bell rang long ago, but the physics and chemistry teacher who made up the lessons never announced the class was over, and he was still talking about a lot of homework.
Shit, I have an appointment with Du at the betel nut stand in front of the railway station. She must have waited for me there long ago. If she can't wait for me, will she take the train first The train leaves at eight forty-five.
My left hand has picked up my schoolbag, and then when the teacher turned and walked out of the classroom, I immediately ran at an extremely fast speed (perhaps this is the fastest time in my life. ) Run to the train station.
Fortunately, I saw Du holding the train ticket she bought for me. I rushed into the platform and got on the train in one step. It was a close call. It happened that the train left immediately after I set foot on it, and I just gasped desperately.
"I thought you stood me up." She said.
Almost.
We immediately went to the toilet in the carriage. I changed into my Mickey and Minnie and she changed into a light blue dress. We went to find the position of the last carriage and sat down.
Look at the passing scenery.
Why am I so excited about going to Taipei?
I don't know, or maybe, when I get to Taipei, I will understand.
Chapter 13 "Sky", 1998.
Du Jiahui
Kang Zhengxing took out his walkman from his schoolbag. There's an explanation stuck at the top. I asked him why, but he only said it was accidentally broken.
Then he gave me the left ear of the earphone and pressed the play button. I've heard a female singer's song, but I haven't. In the past few years since I left Taiwan Province Province, I seldom have the opportunity to listen to pop music in Mandarin.
I'll listen carefully again.
At first, it was a very soft voice, a simple string, and she seemed to be singing:
"Why is my sky full of wet tears? Why is my sky always gray? 」
Suddenly there was a crisp drum.
The drum beat touched my heart like a hook.
I froze, put my hand over my mouth and temporarily stopped breathing.
I don't know why this song has such great magic.
I don't know why, the lyrics of this song penetrated the girl's voice, like a warm hand penetrated my body, I became so transparent, it was a feeling of being understood, my eyes were a little moist, but it doesn't matter, it was a kind of tears that were understood.
He told me that this album was Sky when Faye Wong was still in Wang Jingwen, and this song was Sky. 」
I told him that I would listen to the song "Sky" again and again, and then go to Taipei by train.
Ten years
How many decades can a person's life last?
I never thought about it in July.
As for He Chuan, he has left Team A for ten years.
I also found July when I went through the files of the third squadron.
Then I looked at the high city downstairs in July and suddenly realized that ten years ago, on such a sunny afternoon, He Chuan was standing in that place, waiting for himself to go downstairs to go shopping in the city, even standing there impatiently, even for three years. The only difference is that ten years ago, his time with He Chuan stopped. Ten years later, his time with Gao City will continue.
Things have changed, is that what you mean?
"I went to kindergarten today. Guess what the plateau teacher said? " When I saw Gao Cheng downstairs, the loud voice of Gao Cheng immediately shocked everything in July to three thousand miles away.
"How can I put it?" July asked with a smile.
"Say that the plateau is smart, let him skip classes and read directly with the big class." "Admission? Primary schools under the age of seven are not allowed to enter. Do you want to stay at home for another year? I think the teacher is thinking of you. "
"Well-?"
"Ha ha, you're kidding. If he lets us in, we'll skip a grade. Otherwise, you can tell him that the teacher's family still has a year of plateau boarding. "
"Hey, you're hurting yourself."
"Why do you have so little confidence in your son?"
"I want to go home to see my eldest brother today. He just came back from other places. You take your son home first, ah. "
"Then we won't wait for you to eat."
"Don't wait."
The two boarded the van they just bought and flew all the way to Gao's door. Far away, Linda Gao has been waiting there. Linda Gao's mouth was almost thrown into the sky when he saw the domestic buns flying around like a cheetah.
When I left in July, I said to Gao Cheng, "Hey, can you change trains?"
"In what? This is not good. Mom, you don't see how strong it is. "
"Oh, every time I see your car, I think of the yellow croaker in the market."
"hmm? Why? "
"People who transport aquatic products in the market love to drive this kind of car, which is cheap and resistant to tossing. I heard that it can continue to open after it is turned off. "
"ah? Mom, you are very knowledgeable. Did I tell you this car is good? "
Linda Gao looked at his son with his mouth open and couldn't say anything. She thought the car was inferior, but when she thought that even her daughter-in-law had become a man, she wouldn't care about this little face.
When he returned to his house in Xia Yue community in July, he was surprised to find Plateau lying at home doing handicrafts.
"Isn't the house demolished today?" July shouted, "Come here!" On the plateau, Teng Teng Teng ran out of the room and jumped directly at July's leg. "Dad, dad, I won."
"What won?"
"Arm wrestling won. '
"Who won? See you happy. "
"That, that-"plateau a nasty, words also say not neat, just a finger with the hand, raised his head in July, eh? A little girl came out of a small room on the plateau, wearing a shiny flower head, a very beautiful little polka-dot shirt, a pair of small red shoes, especially her small round face, a pair of big sparkly eyes and a pink mouth, just like a doll.
"Look at you." I took a look at the little girl in July and patted the melon seeds on the plateau. "Good men don't fight with women. Never heard of it? "
At this time, I saw the little girl curled her lips and looked old-fashioned "Are you the father of the plateau?"
Yuan is broken, "I am. Little girl, what can I do for you? "
"I am not a little girl." The "little girl" was obviously angry and her face was twisted. "I am a boy." "Ah?" When I looked at it carefully in July, I suddenly realized that my child was dressed like a little prince, but I thought it was a little princess if I didn't look carefully.
Just as I was thinking, the doorbell rang, and the little doll-like boy cried and said, "Dad is coming to pick me up!" " "
In July, I hurried to open the door and looked out, startled. For a long time, I said, "He Chuan?"
The little boy went over and called, "Dad."
He Chuan patted the little boy on the head with a smile. "Good son, how was your play?"
Then he looked up at July. "Can I come in?"
"Come on in." Let He scratch his head in July to see that their living room is actually a dining room, which is also very narrow and can't entertain guests. Let him and Gao Cheng go into their bedroom, where there is a sofa and a tea table in front. In July, he took a teacup and took out tea from the cupboard.
"I thought you were going to give me a cigarette." He Chuan smiled.
"We don't usually smoke at home," he pointed out. "I'm afraid to smoke this boy, and it will be troublesome to follow the trend."
He Chuan turned his head and saw the photo frame lying on the table, or a particularly delicate shell sector. Two big men were grinning and wearing evening dresses. Next to the rectangular photo frame is a group photo of a family of three. Next to it are all small things, white rabbit butterscotch safflower oil, and a hand-held massager, piled up all over the table.
"It's a little messy at home, don't mind." July plopped down beside the bed.
"How so polite. You don't ask me how I got here? "
Yuan Lang smiled. "You can come if you like. Who can stop you? "
He Chuan said coldly, "I thought you would arrest people."
"Sit down when you come, why rush people?" In July, he asked, "Do you want to eat fruit? Gao Cheng said that he took his son to the fruit shop, and I went to the kitchen to get it for you. "
I stood up in July and went to the kitchen. He Chuan looked at his swaying back, suddenly inexplicably sad, "July!"
The voice in July is different from the tone just now. Just now, the tone of the two people is floating on the water, floating in the air without strength. This July's voice is very penetrating, as if going back in time.
The back of July stopped, and He Chuan couldn't see his expression. He went on talking excitedly. Suddenly, the plateau came in. "Dad, Dad, there is a caterpillar in my room!" "
July said absently, "The tree fell outside."
"That father said that caterpillars can become butterflies. Is that true?"
"Really, you keep it and watch it change."
"Well," He Chuan interjected, "you can't let it live."
"Dad, go and have a look." July is about to leave the small plateau. He Chuan's mouth twitched and suddenly cried, "Little friend, there is a squirrel in your room!" "
VnyBL52 network
Hearing this, the small plateau immediately took July's hand and ran to his room. "Where? Where is it? Where is the squirrel? "
A look at the plateau into the room, he Sichuan two steps up to the door of the small room, shut the door directly, nimbly took off his tie, by the way, tied it to the door handle and put it next to downspouts.
July naught, "ah! He Chuan! "
"Never mind," He Chuan looked at July with a smile. "My son is in it. Let them play for a while. "
July looked at him dully. "Are you always like this at home? How bad it is for your children. "
Sure enough, the plateau found that it was cheated, so it slammed on the door. "Bad guy! Big bad guy! You are lying! There are no squirrels in the room. "
There came the voice of He Chuan's doll-like son. "You are so stupid in the plateau. You believe everything my father says. "
"You are so stupid. You just said that your father is a great man. "
"My mother said that if she said this outside, she would give me pocket money. We won't say it at home."
"Ouch," July listened to the conversation between two children through the door, and then looked at He Chuan.
He Chuan looked very wronged. "Smelly boy, don't wash your dirty linen in public. Do you understand? "
Wave in July. "Come on, they are both locked up by you. Come and say something. "
The dense water vapor of tea has built an invisible barrier between two people. He Chuan sat on the sofa with a teacup, and sat by the bed with a teacup in July. Without highland stirring, He Chuan found himself speechless.
"I have nothing to say." He Chuan wanted to think, say it out.
"Ha." In July, I turned my head to one side and couldn't help but feel funny. It's been ten years. Why is He Chuan still the same? He always says what he wants, no matter whether others can stand it or not. The two of them are sitting here solemnly, and he has nothing to say for a long time.
"Then I have something to say." Looking at He Chuan in July, his eyes rested on He Chuan's left arm. There is a bullet hole and the scar is pink. I looked at it in July, but I couldn't help glancing at it again. His chin is a little. "What the hell is going on? Do you still touch the gun now? Not doing business in South Africa? "
"It's business," He Chuan smiled. "It is transporting gold mines and diamonds, which were left by a group of robbers last month."
"Robber?"
"Still fucking against rocket launchers."
He Chuan! I leaned back in July and was furious. "Do you dare to go to South Africa to do this?"
"It's exciting and highly paid."
"The sky-high price is useless, you still have to use it!"
"What are you whispering in July, huh? We are not all people who live on the tip of a knife. "
"I'm not like you, ah, I have to finish this task. What is that to you? "
"I am entrusted by the customer, not the same."
"You will rot in Africa and get you." July theirs.
"Come back."
"Huh?"
"quit."
Look at him in July. "Have you learned your lesson?"
"I have learned my lesson," He Chuan nodded. "I can't accept being old. My reaction speed is several beats slower than before. I am afraid that staying any longer will really rot in Africa. "
"..." I didn't expect such a proud He Chuan to persuade the old man so directly. I calculated it for him in July, didn't I? He is almost forty years old, and he is still fighting for his life in Africa with a group of robbers who don't know whether they are bandits or rebels. A look carefully, He Chuan's temples can faintly see a trace of silver hair, and July has an unspeakable taste in his heart. "Don't do the bodyguard business in the future, or be a diamond bodyguard. You are in the Ming Dynasty. " Actually, I was shot twice last month. "He Chuan rolled up his clothes, revealing the scar on his waist." Come on, don't show me your gift. "He Chuan put down his clothes." Lying in a hospital in South Africa, smelling the medicine, in July, you know, I was really afraid that I would die in Africa like this. "
"You also need to be afraid? I thought you were not afraid of the emperor or Lao Tzu. " "What is the emperor Lao zi? I'm not afraid of not meeting you, so I'll ask as soon as I come back and see you. " Eyes shining, He Chuan looked at July, a face of misery. July was dumbfounded for a long time. "If you want to talk about it, just say it. Don't talk nonsense to me. " "You are much better than before." Eyes are still glowing. "Let go." In July, I turned my eyes and found that He Chuan didn't know when to put down the teacup. Now, like a gibbon, two arms reached into the narrow passage between the sofa and the bed, and a pair of little hands touched their hands! "This is a complete set of carved glass. Breaking a high city will never end with me. Can't you let go? " Staring at He Chuan in July.
"It's just a cup," He Chuan said shyly, taking his hand away. "If you follow me, you will break all the glasses at home. I don't blame you." "Not as rich as you." In July, I took the opportunity to quickly put down my glass, put my hand beside me warily, and began to doubt whether He Chuan did it on purpose. It was a deliberate attempt to gain sympathy. Look at his agility, his reaction is not slow at all! "Why don't you come with me in July?" "Poof-"July spit out a mouthful of water. "As for being so surprised?" He Chuan blinked. July thought, well, there are also people who openly run into other people's homes and ask people to go with him. He Chuan doesn't understand what it means to make people want to face bark. "He Chuan, don't you think it would be guilty to say such things under such circumstances?" "What crime have I committed?" He Chuan thought for a moment. "I will not come if I am guilty." "Do you think what you said is possible?" "impossible." He Chuan nodded. July is dull. "You can't say what it is." "One thousand have an accident, such as someone outside the high-rise building, you can't bear it, break up with him in a rage. In retrospect, I waited for you for so many years, so touched. Isn't that it? " July twitched from the corner of his eye. "Do you really think?" "In case, in case, don't hit people."
July said word for word, "Even if I don't meet Gao Cheng, it's impossible, do you understand?" "Do you still hate me?" "No, or I won't let you in." "Then why?" "I don't hate you now." Sit up straight in July and look at He Chuan. "Now?" He Chuan sighed. "What about before that?" "I used to hate you." "I thought you'd say you forgot all about the past." "Not so melodramatic, do you think I'm seventeen or eighteen? Children forget things and look old. " "Now you-I-""Friend, you can't talk about friends any more." "alas." He Chuan drinks tea with his head down. At that time, both of them had nothing to say. In front of me are people who used to be haunted by dreams, but now it seems like a lifetime ago. It seems to be a luxury to sit together and have a cup of tea now. In July, I saw He Chuan drooping his head, but I felt that all his past and present bullying and irrationality were insignificant. The man sitting in front of him is just a man who is not confused but still full of doubts. I don't know how he spent these years in July, whether there were any other relationships, and how it ended. He only knows that his abundant energy and extraordinary mind still can't find a place to live. "He Chuan," said July, feeling that he had never been so cruel, "did you get revenge?" Don't even bother to say words, He Chuan nodded. "Are you unhappy?" "Happy." He Chuan gave a grunt. "Where's your wife?" "Ex-wife." "What about your ex-wife?" "I am currently in Canada with my daughter. We divorced after less than three years of marriage, but then we got married again. " "Ah?"
"Because later she was pregnant with Jia Ming, that is, your son's house. In order to give the child a legal status, we got married again and then divorced. " "You are really good at sth over and over again ..." "That woman is worse than I thought. Zhou is developing at home and abroad now. However, she didn't get married again, and no one could find it. " "What about you?" "I didn't want to get married." He Chuan suddenly raised his head and looked piteously at July. "Have you forgotten? I told you, I'm not getting married. In July, I never changed my attitude towards life, my attitude towards you, really. " "Then you'd better change." July dull said. "In fact, I wanted to come back to you early in the morning." "..." "But on second thought, I see you still want to fight, or don't come." "Do the right thing." "I think one thing I regret most in my life is losing you." "..." "But I don't regret getting married. I will do the same thing again. " "I know."
"You are getting smarter." "It's not stupid." "So if you do it again, will you do it again?"
"Ah, still like that." "Youth has no regrets." "Oh." Two people care for each other again speechless. At this juncture, I heard someone knocking at the door outside. "What's the matter?" Jumping out in July, I was dumbfounded. I saw Gao Cheng pulling the plateau and storming in from the outside! (er-I wrote so much before twelve o'clock. I will finish the last one, but it will be late. We'll see tomorrow. )
Gao Cheng came home to find that his eldest brother was not here and would not come back until tomorrow. He wants to go back to the community to spend a rare weekend with July, and then go back to Gao's home to reunite with his eldest brother on Sunday. The guards of the contour commander drove him to the door of the community, and Gao Cheng saw a plateau playing alone on the roadside. "Hey, your boy is not at home and ran out." "dad! There are bad people at home! " At the sight of the tall city, the plateau bulged its mouth. "Bad guy?" Gao Cheng is happy. "You're not talking about your father, are you?" "Not dad, it is a big bad wolf! He locked me in my room, and I, I climbed out of the window to play. " "ah? ! "Hearing this, the high-cost nervous to death. "Are there robbers at home?" "The robber? Well, the robber was talking to his father at first, and then I asked my father to see the caterpillar, and he locked me up. " "Well-?" High city was stunned. "So your dad doesn't care?"
"Dad doesn't care," Plateau shook his little head like a rattle. "Dad just talked to him, not to me." "Who's that?" "Jia Ming's father." "Who is Jia Ming?" "My new friend, He, his name is He Jiaming." He Jiaming? What's your last name? Gao said, since I heard He Chuan's name, I have never forgotten the name of the brain, and soon got in touch with the * * * of the two. My brain suddenly exploded. "What does that robber look like?"
"Well, well, that's, that's-"Plateau can't be described.
"So high?" Gao Cheng gestured his height. "Well, it seems that-"
"The face is a little sharp, and it looks like a bad person, right?"
"Yes, it looks like a bad guy!" The plateau is very positive about this.
"Go with dad!" High city pulled the plateau and rushed to the second floor.
"How did you come back?" I watched Gao Cheng wait for a while in July. "My eldest brother won't go home until tomorrow, and I will come back to see you." High city cocked his head and saw He Chuan really appeared at the door of the bedroom, pointing to He Chuan. "and him!"
When he saw something bad in July, he said, "Gaocheng, it's not what you think." 、
He Chuan a face of resolute, blinked to the small plateau. "Kid, did you climb the stairs?"
"Hum." Plateau twist a head to ignore him.
He Chuan went over and pulled the tie off the doorknob. As soon as the door opened, He Jiaming also came out. He Chuan patted Jiaming on the head and smiled and said to Gao Cheng, "I just came to pick up the children."
"Pick up the children? Oh, is that how you picked up your daughter? Lock up both children and pick them up? "
He Jiaming looked at Gao angrily and looked at each other with the eyes that killed you. "I am a man!" "
"Never mind men and women," Gao Cheng waved. "Why did you lock up my son? Tell me! "
"High city, and so on." July tried to pull Gao Cheng aside to talk.
He Chuan's language is not astonishing. "Because I came to July, let him come with me."
"ah!" High city jumped almost ten feet.
"But he didn't agree." He Chuan blinked.
High city immediately put her arms around July, and it took great effort to control her anger. Every word almost boldly said to He Chuan, "You are talking nonsense! This is impossible! "
"You are quite confident." He Chuan touched his chin.
"I absolutely trust in July! Absolute trust! " Gao Cheng clenched his hands and whispered, "July, talk!"
Looking at Gao Cheng's family protection in July, it went well. He soon caught up with his position. "I also absolutely trust Gao Cheng, absolutely trust!"
He Chuan, look at this and look at that. "Ok, I won't bother you, Jiaming, let's go."
Gao Cheng kept staring at him until the gate, when He Chuan suddenly turned around again, revealing a mysterious smile and said, "Then I wish you a happy trip to Holland." After that, I ran away with my son.
"ah? What did he say? " High city stare back to July, "what the Netherlands? You didn't tell me. "
"Nothing, Gao Cheng, you absolutely don't trust me."
"Absolute trust, but it must be based on mutual honesty!" High city backlog of anger broke out completely, it turned out that he just refused to show weakness in front of He Chuan. If he shows suspicion and jealousy about July in front of He Chuan, isn't that what the weasel wants? High city is not so stupid, but it is different when He Chuan is gone.
"Plateau!" Gaocheng is called plateau. "Pack up your schoolbag, go downstairs and go to grandpa's house with the guard uncle."
"I don't want to go to my grandfather's house. I want to be with my father."
"Go or not? ! "Gao Cheng seldom gets angry with the plateau, so once he gets angry, he can shock the plateau. Unlike July, which is always in charge of the plateau, the plateau discovered July's temper over time and was no longer so afraid of him.
After eating the withered plateau, he picked up his schoolbag angrily. Gao Cheng looked out of the window and waved to the guards downstairs. "Wait a minute, send it to the plateau."
Plateau heart unwilling feeling reluctant to go, high city gate, like a prisoner put July on the bed, "speak, He Chuan! Lock the door! Netherlands! "
"High city," miserable look up in July, "your shoulders are sour? Do you want me to help you rub it? " "Don't be careless! All honest! " High city just sits opposite, sitting like a clock.
See broken in July, send away the plateau. Posture and aura said, "Actually, he is yours." In July, I began to sigh along the tiger hair. "Do you think about it, no one ran home to find someone to accompany him. He just happened to pass by and met him, and then on a whim, he locked the door and talked to me. I ignored him. "
"Then why don't you open the door to the plateau?"
"I have to have time to refuse him and let him give up completely. Do you want him to give up completely? "
"Hum. What happened in Holland? ! "
"That was before, a long time ago, I don't remember. That's about it. At that time, he said that he would go to Holland with me to get married or something. "
"knot-marriage?" Gao Cheng raised his voice. "Are you still going to get married?" VnyBL52 network
"Well, I said it on impulse."
"Freely said he still mention now? ! "
"It's impossible to tell anyone about it, is it?" "Hum."
"What are you doing in Gaocheng?"
"I want this pen."
"Ah?"
"What you said, I'll write it down for you and check it later. How many deeds a nation has. "
"Never mind."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"High city-"
The next month, the pumpkins of the third squadron of Team A found a strange phenomenon. In July, the tireless squadron leader of Team A suddenly became honest and not so bad. Then several times, a player saw July lying on his desk, wondering what he was copying.
The thing I copied in July is this: I, July, should not deceive Comrade Gao Cheng again and again about family matters, which is wrong, and I should not hide things outside my family. This is my confession. ...
Three times a day, one hundred times a month, after copying, I gave it to Gao Cheng, who also wrote a word on each piece of paper.
A month later, Gao Cheng said to July with a repentance book, "Do you know what this is?"
"Confession." July blinked.
"It's a deal, understand? I signed it. This is an effective promise and cannot be repented. "
"Oh."
"Then you copy it a hundred times next month!" "High city-why do you copy so much-one hundred times is enough."
"Not enough!" High city jumped up, "after you every sentence I once, don't tell the truth, I will tear a piece, tear up and we are finished! Did you hear that? ! ""……"
"Then will you copy it next month?"
"I copy-"
"Do you still want a me? ! "
"No-"
"Then why did you copy it? Do you think one hundred books is not enough? "
"In order to reassure you, the thicker the paper, the more assured you are." July dawdled at once.
"You also know to appease me?"
"Well, high city, what do you want to eat in the evening-"
"Eat you!"
"Then I'll wash it and cook it in hot water for a while."
There is a loud noise in the bathroom.
Gao Cheng began a surprise inspection and stood outside and asked loudly, "What should I do next time I see He Chuan?"
"Report to Comrade Gao Cheng at the first time." The answer was very smooth in July.
"What else?"
"No contact with harmful substances."
"What else?"
"Go home for disinfection."
"A dead old A!" Gao Cheng went to bed contentedly.
How many decades can a person's life last?
Ten years ago, can you think of yourself today?
Ten years later, will you think of yourself yesterday?
This is time, this is life.
-End-
