The love between my father and Aunt Zeng developed smoothly, without any sprawling branches, and quickly separated like glue. After Diqing shot the panda mating at Guancheng Zoo, she seemed to be inspired. He suddenly possessed the patience of a matchmaker's eloquent broker. He followed up and investigated my father's ideological situation every three and a half, and lost no time in making my father take his aunt to the Civil Affairs Bureau. A couple of red books; or, she also persuaded my father to be straightforward and treat Aunt Zeng as uncooked rice and cook mature rice. Because the relationship is the same as the revolution. Only when the iron is hot can it succeed. Diqing's speaking style was shocked by his father's sweat. He hurriedly agreed while shrinking back, fearing that the undocumented daughter-in-law would say something frightening.
My father was still a little hesitant. He told me: "You have been talking with Diqing for two or three years. We haven't gotten married yet. Xiao Zeng and I have only met for a few months and we were anxious to get married. I'm afraid it will be bad."
I said, "What's wrong? Your old comrade will carry forward your style, run the second lap, and lead our first lap."
Aunt Zeng also wants to get married soon, and being in love makes her look forward to married life. Under the double attack of Aunt Zeng and us, in December of that year, my father went to apply for a marriage certificate.
After returning from the fortune-teller, Aunt Zeng was not there during the meal. The three of us talked about it again. Diqing still had the energy to strike while the iron was hot. My father was still a little embarrassed. He said: "Marriage is a good thing. I didn't expect to get married for the second time in my life. Now that things have been brought before my eyes, I can only let the flow go. But where is the knot? First marriage, the house on my side is in dilapidated condition, and if I take her over, I am afraid I will wrong her."
Diqing winked at me, and then said, "Dad, don't worry, we have already considered it, and we are here!"
"What's that like? I still occupy your house?"
Diqing didn't discuss it with me, but I had such a desire for a long time, and I was afraid that Diqing would not be able to pass this level. I didn't expect Diqing to be so empathetic. In an instant, I thought she really looked like the roundworm in my stomach. I quickly said: "Dad, you can't be so selfish. Give me a chance to be filial to you... I can move there. You and Aunt Zeng will live here. Then I will renovate there. I will also I like decorating the house."
"...Or, I will use the house knot here first, and then change it later."
"Dad, why should our father talk so clearly?" I raised my glass and leaned over to find a touch, and said, "I think it's a deal."
The marriage went smoothly. After New Year's Day, my father Gu Fengnian married Aunt Zeng steadily. She is from Langshan, and this is the first marriage. In Langshan's hometown, the wedding is quite grand. Raising soldiers for a thousand days, I greeted my friends, and all the cars I could borrow came over to join in the fun. I borrowed more than 30 small cars and drove back and forth to Langshan to pick up the stepmother. After taking Aunt Zeng back to Yecheng, the marriage was simplified. I packed a few tables of drinks in a small restaurant in the north of the city, and helped friends put together a few tables. My father’s old colleagues and a few old friends and old dancers joined forces. Make up a few more tables and ask a drum band to create the atmosphere.
The wine was drunk happily, but my father's eyelids always twitched. Halfway through the drink, he dragged me out into the corridor and asked me: "You said, will Xiao Shen come to make trouble? After I got better with Teacher Xiao Zeng, I heard that she cried several times in our house. "
"If you cry, it's okay. I'm afraid of not crying but laughing, the kind of woman who bites his teeth." I patted my father on the shoulder, and said, "I am still here, what are you afraid of." When I said this, I still have respect for my father. He didn't get along with Shen Lianying a few times, but at this time he felt guilty. Now, young men and women separate and reunite, changing you to me. Afterwards, they can't figure out who changed whom, only the shadow dragging behind when they go home remains the same.
Of course Aunt Shen didn't come to disrupt the situation. I thought, maybe she didn't even know that my father got married on this day; maybe, she was seeing someone else under the arrangement of the dating agency. I think of Aunt Shen, in fact, I think she is more of a mother's demeanor, loyal and honest, and not good at words. I hope she will marry a good man immediately.
For a while, Diqing and I were busy, but my father was always at a loss at his mercy. He is so old that he will inevitably be confused when he encounters the novelty of flash marriage. I purchase, decorate a new house, and hug my father to pick me up. Sometimes, I feel confused and feel that the two of them have changed, and I feel like a father. I don't reject this kind of upside-down illusion, which makes me often laugh secretly.
Father and Aunt Zeng are gradually getting into shape at the wedding banquet and their performance is getting better and better. After playing the big and small cups with Diqing and I, my father sternly refused to kiss in public, but he couldn't bear to drink two glasses of wine, so he kissed. Aunt Zeng pretended to be shy at first. Once the two of them touched her lips, she inhaled hard, making her father dumbfounded, but she couldn't withdraw her mouth. If Aunt Zeng hadn't been taken aback by her boldness, her father would have no strength to tear her lips off. The applause from the surroundings immediately raged. On this day, Aunt Zeng looked younger than usual and her lips were more sticky.
At the banquet, I also drank a lot of wine. After the dinner, I was able to command Ruo Ding and asked my friend to drive my father and Aunt Zeng to the new house. Over the past ten days or so, I have carefully arranged the house again. The strange and nondescript wall charts have been removed. After a little modification, the interior of the house is red and green, and the colorful lights are flashing. When I enter the door, I burst into joy. . In fact, I don't like this kind of atmosphere, a rustic nasal spray, but I know it can match my father's mood at this time.
I stopped my father’s old friends who had been drinking too much and kept them from making trouble in the bridal chamber. My father hasn't had a good rest last night until now, and he can't stand the toss at his age. I was even more worried about what kind of state my father would be able to show to Xiao Zeng on this night of Huahuahua. People like fathers have gone through physical exercises, and would not dare to have premarital sex after being beaten to death. I don't think he can figure out what state he can have. Of course, even if the father-son relationship is harmonious, I can't secretly give him a pill to extend his time. This society still cannot tolerate this kind of intimate care, and I dare not let my father be stimulated more violently than having sex. Besides, my father is getting older, in case a pill will cause him something wrong, or even leave some sequelae, or even... what a good one!
My relatives and friends are gone, Diqing and I also returned to the middle school’s old mansion to live. I don't know what happened to my father in the new house, but Diqing and I were very passionate that night. Diqing said that she likes the cramped old house, the old furniture, the environment without decoration, and the white lime walls are yellowed everywhere, everything reminds her of her childhood. "When people come here, they can be evoked a feeling of mutual affection." She said that to me, and I agreed. In this scent of mutual affection, we both feel more in love than in a new house. My father installed two curtains on the window. After they were all tightened, the room was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. I was able to explore her lips with my lips in the dark. After the incident, the ears were unbelievably quiet, neither of us uttered a word for fear of breaking the silence, or that the boundless silence had already made my heart scared, so we hugged desperately, feeling that our bodies seemed to be slowly melting in. The other party's body.
Later, Diqing got out of bed and pulled the curtains, looked at the distant starry sky, and suddenly asked me what my father and Aunt Zeng were doing in the new house over there.
"Maybe you are also looking at the stars." I said.
"Why don't you have any confidence in your father? I believe he is in a very good state today."
"Don't you want my dad to make me a younger brother?"
Di Qing smiled and said to me, "Let’s keep a little bit of morals, let’s not talk about your dad. Now that he has been taken care of, you are relieved. I want to go back to Guancheng, why don’t you go with me... You are now this Wouldn't you be reluctant to let go of the job of eating empty salaries?"
My father had Aunt Zeng, so I did let go of my suspicion and live in Jicheng or Guancheng. I didn't care. I said, "It doesn’t matter what work is going on. I don’t do anything all year round, and I feel uneasy with the money. However, we’re gone, and it’s not easy to explain to your dad if we don’t talk about other things. The house over there, Your dad also paid a portion of the money and wanted to keep it for both of us. Now he suddenly lives with his in-laws, what would he think? I didn’t look very good at him during the day, but he has cultivated there and it’s inconvenient to talk about it. what."
"Don't worry, I will explain to my father over there. He is a reasonable person. With my creative problem-solving ideas, he can have other opinions besides saying yes to my father? , Just sell this old house as soon as possible and make up for the money he paid out. Then, come back to Guancheng with me."
When Di Qing said this, I understood everything, and she cared about my father in every possible way a while ago, and there are plenty of reasons for it. I said, "You are so insidious. Put my dad as a crab in a pan of cold oil, then slowly heat him up."
"Don't pick up the bargain and talk cool words. If I'm not insidious, your dad can't even think of it in his dreams. When he grows old, he can still get lucky." Di Qing jumped on the bed and pinched my neck and said, "You don't want to think about it. Your father is happy, and you are relieved. I did such a great deed for your father and son. You owe me when you go to Guancheng with me."
"Don't be proud, try the jade to burn for three days, I don't know if it is luck or catastrophe..." I realized that I was wrong, and immediately closed the crow's mouth.
"When are you going to go with me?"
"Which is so easy? Work is not a slipper. Throw it away if you want. It takes at least a while to go through the formalities. If you are in a hurry, you should go first after the Chinese New Year."
After the third day of the Lunar New Year, Diqing urged me and my father to clarify this matter. I always say, no hurry, wait. Diqing set a time limit and said: "You can make an agreement with him within one week, otherwise, I will have to say it myself." I thought about it, and it's better to speak up myself. On the Lantern Festival, I went to a famous city on the waterfront. My father was there and Aunt Zeng went out to buy vegetables. Father twisted the door open, and I saw that his face was uncontrollable with something to say.
Since the newly-married in January until now, my father has been in this state. A new life came suddenly. Every day my father suffocated his stomach, he would tell Aunt Zeng about nine minutes, or he would blow pillow breeze on the bed, or sit and talk in the house, or go for a walk in the evening. Let's talk. There is one more point. He is inconvenient to tell Aunt Zeng, but of course it is left to me. During this period of time, I visited him every three or five days in the famous city on the waterfront, and tried my best to listen to his arrangements, and waited for Aunt Zeng to go out.
My father told me excitedly that he had been radiated with vitality that made him unbelievable recently. At first he also secretly bought medicine to take it, but soon stopped, afraid of relying on the medicine, and fear of overdraft, the dragon was fierce for a week and a half, and then suddenly he lost his shape, or regained his original shape, and aged one or two overnight. Ten years old. In the half month after the marriage, he repeatedly dreamed of himself looking awkwardly old, his face drooped, gully, and still smiling. When he smiled, he opened his mouth, but it was as dark as an abyss, of course he couldn’t see it. One tooth. He woke up in fright, Aunt Zeng was still on his side, snoring slightly. He touched her body, her skin can still produce enough rebound force (yes, this is my father's original words, he can probably calculate the value of the rebound force with a set of formulas). At this time, my father would fall into a kind of depression, and he would recover for a long time, and severely warned himself: life is exercise! Reject any kind of pills in the sexual health supplies store! Do not rely on external forces! The dead wood is in spring, and the old tree just has to send out a few new shoots!
Father pays attention to maintenance, increases the amount of exercise, and goes to the 7th Park to dance with Aunt Zeng on time every day. This building originally had an elevator, but now he likes to climb the stairs. Although this house is located on the third floor, he occasionally climbs to the third floor is not enjoyable. He climbs two floors in one breath, then folds back, and does not panic when he stops. Unlike the commercials on TV, the old actor had to climb up the fifth floor to breathe without breathing after he had added calcium every day, but everyone could see him talking and panting. Father recovered to a very good condition, neither staggering nor panting. He also passed the running-in period with Aunt Zeng. If he performed exceptionally on certain nights, he could feel like a fish in water.
I asked: "... Like a fish in water?"
"Is this word wrong?"
"No, no, it's used impartially, just right."
That day, I reminded myself that when I came to my father, I was talking about the idea of resigning and going to Guancheng, not just talking about it. My father and I were sitting on a beach-like balcony. The sunshine in early March was full of the balcony. Several foliage plants on the balcony were lush early, and they even looked potbellied. When I mentioned my resignation, my father was prepared in his heart. He could see that Diqing was not in his mind, and he also knew my difficulties by the way. Small towns often make young people feel that the future is bleak, even if they can't get through in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, then coastal and second-tier cities are the best choice. I know that since Diqing knew that the world is not the only big city, his mind has been flying far.
My father said: "Yes, I have been thinking about it. I asked you to come back all the time, and I was wronged. Good guys have aspirations in all directions..."
"That's not the ambition. The main thing is that now I think you are getting younger and younger. With Aunt Zeng, I don't need me to take care of it. I have discussed with Diqing, or Wancheng is more suitable for our development. "When it comes to the word "development", my tongue suddenly doesn't play very sharply. It's nothing more than a mess of making money and eating, and now people tend to say it's "development." I said again, "I heard that Jietian Long's airport will be officially opened next month. There are flights to Guangzhou. Tickets are booked early, even up to 40% off. I can come back if I have something to do in the future. .Is not it?"
"Go, I'll look at this room for you. If things go wrong over there, you have a way out."
"Dad, don't worry about me, yourself..."
"Don't worry about me, don't you think I'm getting better and better lately?" My father even punched an old fist on his chest, scaring me to grab his hand.
I said, "Yes, I feel at ease when I look at your complexion no matter how far you go. With Aunt Zeng, you are in a good mood this year and you have the energy to exercise."
An old face of his father blushed secretly, and then returned to his sorrow. He said, "I exercise my body for your sake. If you and Diqing get married and have a baby, it’s not me and your Aunt Zeng to help with it? It’s hard to bring a baby, you don’t know, I know, it’s not good. Which line?"
"You can give birth to one, too. I know the policy. She has never given birth. There should be hope for another one."
"My God, how can you say this to your father?"
"This is normal. Suddenly, I felt that when people are in their 30s and 40s, they suddenly have a younger brother and sister, which is actually very fun. Besides, if Diqing and I have also given birth to children, you can bring them at the same time. Being together will not be lonely, nor will it be as selfish as the only child... In short, one sheep is free, and a group of sheep is also free. You mum?"
The door rang. My father had to gesture to shut me up. He said, "Don't talk about it. Your aunt Zeng is allergic to childbirth. She has dragged on until now to get married, which has something to do with it." I shut up. , Seeing Aunt Zeng walking with vegetables, her pretty figure flashed into the kitchen door in a blink of an eye.
Di Qing stayed in Yecheng for a while because she wanted to fly there. It is said that the trial operation day of our Jicheng Airport is one day after the Lantern Festival, but this news is inaccurate and is always being delayed. I ran a lot outside, and as Diqing was so afraid of taking the train, of course he looked forward to the plane. After waiting ten more days, she had a cold heart, and the film colleagues over there were calling more and more frequently, so she had to get a train ticket to rush over. She asked me to complete the formalities and go to meet her as soon as possible.
I screamed.
In fact, I am not in a hurry. It is quite interesting to say goodbye to a place, like hot tofu, which is too impatient to eat, so I have to eat slowly. The news of my resignation was spread among friends, and they used this as an excuse to gather several times and praised me for how easy it was. I only have a wry smile. This kind of free and easy operation is too difficult to operate. When others praise me, they may also call me stupid.
That day, I called Curator Shen to talk about resignation. He was building a monument with cinnabar under the Ming Pagoda by the river. The inscription was written by Yu Ganpin, and Yu Ganpin asked Shen Guan to help spread dozens of copies of the inscription for gifts to friends. He talked about things with me while he was doing it. I said a little bit, and saw that his hands and feet didn't slow down at all. To say it again, Director Shen turned his head and waved his hand, and said: "What's wrong, you didn't want to work in any kind of work, but what kind of job is you going to resign? Your girlfriend wants you to go, and you just go. Well. Young people, think about things a little bit longer, maybe one day you'll think about coming back after a fight." I also thought about it, and everything becomes so easy when I say something from some mouth. Curator Shen's words made me relaxed and secretly happy. When I was about to leave, Curator Shen stopped me again and said, "Go slow and help me start. Playing with Cinnabar, now you young and young can't do it. I just want to take a few apprentices. I think you have Huigen."
"Oh, where does Hye-gen grow up in me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come here!" Curator Shen twisted my ears joyfully.
That evening, I invited a bunch of friends to sing on "Jiangyang Avenue".
After drinking that day, I asked the foreman to ask a few girls to come in to accompany them for a drink. The girls often provide fashionable drinking tricks. Friends are very surprised, because it is usually unselfish to call a girl, and only when someone signs an order. I said, "Don't save money with me. Money is earned in Guancheng and spent in Yicheng." The foreman asked if we knew any sisters. Of those seven or eight friends, half of them can call out the names of familiar girls. I also quoted an Arabic numeral: 35. My friends were amazed again, not knowing when I hooked up with a girl.
The foreman came in for a while and said: "No. 35 is busy, do you want me to recommend a new person to you? Every girl on our Jiangyang Avenue..." I waved and told the foreman, I'll wait. My friends were shocked, saying that I didn't expect me to be a fucking infatuated species. Not talking about my childhood sweethearts, I came across a wild flower by chance, and even put on a loyal posture. I chuckled and said, "Do you think I said goodbye to you? You are all here to accompany you."
That day, I did not call Jiang Biao. During dinner, this old party friend asked why he didn't see Jiang Biao. Usually there are parties, and I often ask Jiang Biao to come together. After a long time, Jiang Biao has been recognized by everyone. They all said, "This little brother you brought is really good."
After half an hour, Suzuran came in and sat beside me exactly. Just beside me, the group of friends are catching a girl to play dice and drinking. When it comes to making fun, all of them are willing to pose as veterans, lest they show their tenderness.
"Do you still remember me?"
Suzuran said: "Not only do I remember, I also dreamt of you. How come I have time to come here?"
"I come here often, but I haven't met you."
There have been many changes between her and more than a year ago. The lights in the box are dim, and her expression appears in the light from time to time. I don't know where those changes are reflected. A red-haired girl said a new way of drinking, which is to tear a piece of facial tissue with her mouth. When she tears it to the point where it can no longer be torn, the person drinks a drink. Then, the game is over and the drinker takes a new facial tissue. Duck it into your mouth and pass it backwards. Everyone at the scene applauded unanimously. The coffee table happened to be wide enough for a dozen people to squeeze around each other. The men and women staggered and sat in a circle. It was crazy to drink like this, and two more beers were made in a blink of an eye. After all, the girls drink a lot less than the men, and they queue up to the bathroom while drinking, so that the game is constantly interrupted. If a girl leaves her place, the game will have to break the chain, otherwise, the two men will have to move their heads to pick up the note in their mouths. The two girls didn't care about it, but our guys were embarrassed and couldn't let go of this.
Lily of the valley said: "We can't drink anymore. Otherwise, if a woman kisses a man's mouth, we can avoid a glass of wine, how about it?"
This was a desperate thing, and the men were secretly happy, and deliberately assumed a loss. Mao Yigeng hugged a girl and asked, "What if I kiss her on the mouth too?"
"If you want to wipe the oil, of course it is a fine of two glasses!"
Wu Guangzhou and I were sandwiched between Lily of the Valley. Two times the paper came to my mouth and it was torn out of necessity. Lily of the valley slapped me in front of everyone, causing cheers. Then, Suzuran pulled a piece of paper from the paper tube and put it in his mouth for me to pick it up. Once, Wu Guangzhou over there passed a piece of paper here. He deliberately tore a small piece of paper from the mouth of a previous girl. When Lily of the valley was about to pick it up, he tilted his head back and put the piece of paper back. Licking a large part in, making it difficult for Lily of the valley to continue. Wu Guangzhou looked at Lily of the valley with narrow eyes, and then rounded his lips so that they were three centimeters longer than the tip of his nose. Suzuran poured a glass of beer into her mouth decisively, took another piece of paper, and faced me.
"What's the matter, I should be the one to pick it up. You have to pass it backwards after drinking, clockwise and counterclockwise, don't you understand?" Wu Guangzhou said helplessly, "This girl is really eccentric, she doesn't hide it at all. Gu Ya, you Don't do anything I'm sorry for Diqing."
After drinking to the point where they could no longer drink, everyone struggled to stand up and dance. One piece of music is South Korea's "Gong Da Li Shabara", and a domestic female singer also sang the "Happiness Guide" in a juanba accent. The original sound is still more powerful, and Suzuran's whole body shakes very badly. At the end of the song, the sound was changed to the familiar "Pig Ba Jie March". Others continued, but Suzuran said she was very sick of the song and asked me to accompany her to sit down.
She was indeed tired, and she sat down on the sofa and closed her eyelids. I sat next to her and looked at her like that. I don't know how much wine she had drunk and how many songs she had drunk and danced with the guests she had been with tonight. Her throat was still cramping, and she turned her head to the opposite side of mine. Her neck seemed to be smooth and slender. When the spotlight in the box shone on, I could see the veins and blood vessels on her neck twisted out of the threads as the head deflected. I thought she was asleep and wanted to go outside to get some air. She didn't move her head, but she stretched out her hand and took my hand. Her hands were cold.
Those friends hugged their sisters and danced a few more songs, and they couldn't dance anymore. They switched to light music and turned off the flashing spotlights to calm the room. The two of them hugged each other, separated as much as possible, and moved their faces closer to talk. I have a little understanding of this group of friends for many years. By the time they were in their thirties, they had been married and had children, and they had some positions in the work unit. Not to mention how they were, they were always a little slick, and they could eat well in this kind of occasion. Talking with the girls is always a set, and the ones that are drawn out are Chen's verses who are familiar with the heart. Of course, the girls are very cooperative, or startled, or laughed secretly.
Suzuran could lie down when the bungee music burst, but now she woke up and sat up straight after switching to light music. I remembered taking pictures of her a year ago. Although I called to explain afterwards, but when I met, I explained that when I got off the car that day, when people were crowded, the camera fell to the ground.
"The camera broke. Why did Kari’s photos break? You don’t think of the sand bridge as a place where ghosts don’t shit, okay? Several girls in our shop bought digital cameras, just photos It doesn't look good." Suzuran smiled softly and said, "Is that the driver's ghost?"
I didn't say a word, my self-righteousness would always make me slapped.
Suzuran said again: "He asked me how I could take off my clothes and take pictures. He asked me if I was short of money and would accept everything. He said that if I was short of money, he could Help me." "How did you answer?"
"I said you can’t control when I go to make an A film. One person is in charge of the other, and he always has to be honest. If you break the law, the public security control, the city management, you can’t tell the difference between family and wild species when you have a child. DNA control. Why does he control me so much?"
"Why does he care about you?"
"He confessed to the wrong person. His family used to lose a sister. Once he came to our store and thought I was like me, so he had to say that I was his sister. I don't admit it. He even paid me to wrap me up, repeatedly Ask me to admit it, ask me to admit it, and ask me where I live. How dare I tell him? Let him go home to annoy my parents?" Suzuran took out two cigarettes and said, "How can I meet such a person? … If you don’t talk about him, you get angry when you talk about it."
She put two cigarettes in her mouth at the same time, lit them, and handed one to me. The two of us spit out smoke rings, either she spit to trap me, or I spit to trap her; the smoke rings were either entangled or passed through each other, and then each escaped and rose. After smoking the cigarette, she said, "I heard that it was your guest today. What's the good thing? During my absence, have you got a silly woman engaged
"I'm leaving, please invite an old friend today, and I will tell you too."
"Where to go?"
"Guancheng."
"I know there. Many men and women in our village go there to do things. They have been there for many years, and they have invited me." She took out the phone and asked me to say her own name.
"What about the previous call?"
"I changed it early. You have no conscience. You never called me. In Sand Bridge, there was a dead ghost who just got out of the classroom. He didn't know what he was going crazy. He stepped in and saw me. I was going to be his wife that night. Although I sold my own meat, it didn’t mean that whoever wanted me would be his wife. These are two different things, but the man didn’t know the difference, so he sat in the classroom and took his head. It's rusty. He still said to me with a hippy smile, "It's the big wife, not the little wife. I just love you." Oh my god, who is rare. The big wife wears an apron and plays soy sauce all over the street, and the little wife is in the villa. In the sauna, if the boss is gone, you can use the boss’s driver as a pet. Who lives more like a person than anyone else... Poet, instead of drinking and talking to you drunk, I would rather be your little wife than Being locked up by him is a mess. Think about it, he has stored ammunition in the class room for eight years. He finds a wife to be used as a gun target. How many women can hold it? I can't provoke it, so I have to hide."
She called, and a series of new chants flashed on the phone screen.
"Good trip! If I go to Guancheng, will you accept it?"
"What more? Send a text message before you come, and I'll pick it up."
"Can't make a phone call? Afraid that your wife will be inconvenient by the side?"
I said: "Why are you women so sensitive? A dime a text message can solve it, why do you need to make a phone call for a dollar?" Seeing my embarrassment, Suzuran couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't do it like this. Are you nervous? You poets are all poor ghosts, and you really can't bear money. I never bring money when I go out. Anyway, there are always guys who are full and have nothing to do rushing to pay me."
I booked a ticket for the first flight to Jicheng Airport. The ticket is easy to buy. The first flight is a CRJ small plane. Many people are afraid of small planes. There have been rumors in Jicheng that, if meeting in the air, small regional jets must be stopped to Boeing or Airbus to avoid the way. Fortunately, on this flight I took, the sky was wide and unobstructed during the whole itinerary, and there was no congestion at all. In just an hour, the small plane reached the sky above the Pearl River Delta. Looking down, the city clusters are like an integrated circuit board. Falling down, every tiny element is restored into a building.
The plane landed at Guangzhou Airport, and it took more than an hour to drive to Guancheng by bus. There are no rural areas along the way, only factory districts, green belts, emerging development zones, green belts, new industrial districts, green belts... I came here for the first time in the year before Hong Kong returned, and it has been more than ten years. Growing up, I have only stayed in Jicheng and Guancheng for a long time. Except for my hometown, it is considered familiar here, but it is not familiar at all. Everything is only because of the rapid changes in Guancheng. When I first arrived, the size of the city was about the same as that of a city. After the vigorous city building movement at the beginning of the century, a fashionable city came out from under my nose in a few years, and settled in the corners of the city for ten years. Most of the scenes I saw before could not find the remains.
The impression that Guancheng left me was that it was suddenly, the first time I knew its name, just because I was about to come, I took my finger to the map and gestured to find it. Then, a dozen or so graduates of Jicheng College, Grade IX, III, and Twenty-three graduates squeezed the train over with the dream of getting rich. They were still on a green leather train. At present, the green train is probably only sawn off for a museum with enough space. On the train, an enthusiastic Wanzi reminded us that if we have not been robbed, we are not considered to have been to Wancheng. But we were okay. We were not robbed after we went. It was not the Wanzi who reminded us in time, but the Speedy Party was too late to start, and our money was cheated by acquaintances. On that visit, a girl of the same level surnamed Luo summoned us. She called hundreds of people at the same level one by one, promising that there was a lot of money waiting to be picked up, and promising to take up positions like marketing manager. More importantly, she herself is pretty. The boys of the same level who have been in love with her all insisted that she is the first-class flower. There are so many boys who can’t afford to provoke her. Of course, we also agree with each other... The right and call her Xiaoluo Well, she has gone home to marry and give birth to a child, hiding her name, but this group of brothers was introduced to Guancheng by her. After I went there, I paid the money and didn’t do business. I had meetings and classes every day. A bald man didn’t turn over the lesson plans in class. He just asked hysterically: “Do you want to get rich? Do you want to get rich?” We were annoyed by the question. I had to answer hysterically: "Yes, yes! You send us a hair." Bald said: "Okay, then I will pay you money!" Of course, teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish, bald. The man's head wasn't squeezed by the door, so he took a bundle of banknotes for each person. As soon as he turned his tongue, he said: "There is a pyramid in ancient and far away Egypt. You should all know about it? Don't know, I will draw you a picture on the board..."
When we realized that this was the legendary MLM, we refused to agree, and shook ourselves up to get our money back. Not long after the establishment of this MLM nest, the management is still fledgling, and the management experience is still quite lacking. My alma mater, Jicheng College, is a well-known institution where even nerds can be trained to become street crustaceans. Although the exams are all directed by teachers to collectively cheat, there are few stubborn troubles. Finding that the situation was not right, Bald and the others wanted to counterattack and control the situation. Little Luo knew that it was great, but the paper couldn't contain the fire. She used her ability to work as the student council chairman of the school for two years and convinced her companions overnight. Disappeared without a trace. The money that this group of classmates was defrauded ranged from more than 2,000 to 8,000. It was not a small amount at the time. Most of the family backgrounds were not good. They didn't have the face to go home to see their parents, so they had to stay in Guancheng and look for things to make money.
At that time, Guancheng was still several years away from the city building movement. Out of the city, there are contiguous paddy fields. I still think that I have come from a small rural area to a larger rural area. We live on a 12-story solitary building like a bunker in Lijiao Town on the outskirts of the city. We watched the golden rice ears around us and thought about which fool we should look for next meal. In a short time, the rice fields around the lonely building were shoveled and a road was excavated, and simple workshops were built on both sides of the road. On the dirt road, there are as many disc tractors as locusts and motorcycles as cockroaches. Going out to look for things, a tractor ride for one dollar, the ride will cost two yuan, and the starting point for renting is only four yuan, and the rich and thrifty is the ruler, but it also seems orderly. When I walk around, every town and town is a simple factory shed, a simple job site. However, as long as it is listed for recruitment, there will always be people with snakeskin bags coming over to sign up. Even if it is messy, it can't conceal the vigorous atmosphere.
I'm not in a hurry to go back, it's because the eyes are full of liveliness here, unlike Jicheng, where there is always a pool of stagnant water. Li Fei and Gong Bixing are different from me. They gave themselves a death order and must make enough money to go home to face their loved ones and friends. They had a number in their hearts. At the beginning, it was nothing more than being taken by Xiao Luo. After all the money was made up, and then enough for the car travel expenses, slowly, this number changed with the changes in Guancheng, and people stayed there for a long time. At that time, Di Sheng hadn't graduated, and Di Qing was still in the art circle in Beijing. I stayed with Li Fei Gong, who was with me, every day. I can't remember how many kinds of work I did. Unlike the two of them talking about making money all day long, my mind was quite relaxed, and I took that camera to take pictures everywhere. I brought a bank card, and my mother swiped the card on time, but I never talked about it to them. Why should people laugh? After the publication of the Guancheng Daily, I sent a few photos, and they were all published, which is much easier than publishing the daily newspaper in Jicheng. In that year, most of all walks of life in Guancheng were waiting for the rice to be cooked, and the opportunities increased.
Earning enough money for meals and lodging, I refused my mother to write money on the card. She called and I said that I was making money every day, which was enough. Once Li Fei came up with something, we didn't even know how to name this type of work, intermediary? Advertising salesman? Or is it, the pimp? Many people from outside Wancheng gathered together, and many people left their wives and children. Slowly, there was some money in their pockets, and the number of meat sellers increased accordingly. Who would have thought that this place would be famous all over the country for its many sisters and service standards in the future? At this point, maybe we are also contributing. At that time, the three of us tried our best to get into the newly built buildings, specifically looking for men’s toilets (you can only find men’s toilets), entering each cubicle, bolting the door, and spraying various advertising slogans on the back of the door. : If you are looking for chicken, you will find Hunan spicy chicken. It is spicy enough to taste; how can you be dissatisfied with the Sichuan girl who walked out of Yang Yuying's hometown; if you are looking for chickens, you will find local chickens, send all relations, safety first, guarantee strong... I made it myself, and attached the mobile phone number and SMS code. I believe that those men who go to the toilet have plenty of time to read these advertisements. If someone sends text messages for fun, and leaves the code correctly, then the recipient will count us a business volume, and pay according to work at the end of the month. When doing this, we are all worried about whether the employer will pay according to the work, because the amount of business cannot be checked, and it is all based on the conscience of the employer. But what you are doing is skin and flesh business, is there still a conscience account to do
At the end of that month, I found that the amount of money on the card was satisfactory (30% more than estimated). I don't know which customers I have drawn, and which young girls have brought in business. I have no chance to meet each other, but the amount of money has been paid on time. To be honest, I was quite enthusiastic about this because I found that, like Hu Shuanzhu, I was very creative in compiling slogans and propaganda. Moreover, toilet literature was also a literary style that I was passionate about when I was in middle school and when I was studying in Yicheng College. Combining the two together, I feel comfortable, and it really allows me to earn money to eat and sleep. When the money arrived, Li Fei and I proposed to call the business phone number provided by the employer and ask a few girls to come to the farmer’s house we rented to have fun, but Gong Bixing disagreed. He said that since there are countless Lao girls. Here, calling to find a girl, it is better to spend some lunch money to make a girl. At that time, the term wage earners was not popular. The people in Guancheng called the young people who came from other places Yankee, Laozai, and Laomei, and we called them Wanzai, Wanmei, Wanjiangmei, nicknamed 1. Take it, don't be kind. Gong Bixing just wanted to be a fisher girl. Li Fei had great ambitions. He wanted to get a Wanjiang girl and take root in Guancheng once and for all.
After doing this for several months, my scope of activities spread all over Guancheng and a dozen surrounding towns. As I walked, the difference between these towns and towns disappeared. One day my mother called and said that Di Sheng would come to Guancheng to start a business, and asked me to cooperate with him in doing it, so I ended this business. The employer also called to keep me, because the volume of business I solicited satisfied him. I still declined politely. The employer is a local who washes his feet and goes to the field, and I have to wash my hands, and it is impossible to pull the pimp down. In the past, the name of the man who engaged in this business was Guinu. Kong Lao Er thinks that the name is unpleasant, but he doesn't drink the water of Pirate Springs. I have to learn from his old man. The name of the turtle slave is really damn self-esteem.
In the first few years when I came to Guancheng, I deeply felt that this city was operating under the interaction of multiple mechanisms, where fineness and extensiveness, rules and disorder coexist, not re-born, but only value what you can do. I went to run the paint business with Disheng, and Li Fei and Gong Bixing didn't spend much time on pimping. Li Fei's tall and sturdy body did not soak in Wanmei, and he entered a furniture factory as an apprentice. A few years later, he had his own solid wood door factory in Lijiao. The factory where he used to work as an apprentice is now called the Review Group. The boss has a rather weird idea. He wants employees to change jobs and become his peers and competitors. The premise is that he must find someone to take his place before he changes. To manage this, he presented a venture fund. This boss is not like a businessman, he is born a godfather, what can be done
Gong Bixing studied finance and accounting in college, but now he has become a construction engineer and has climbed to the position of supervisor of their company's sixth design office. Once I went to his place for a leisurely stroll. A high-achieving student who graduated with a major in construction engineering from a prestigious university handed him the painted drawings. After only a few glances, he pointed his hand and said, "Hey, this is going to be changed. Change it. Be flexible. I’ve been here for so long, how can I still draw such an old and rigid atrium... What do you think it should be? I also think that the central government should contract the Bird’s Nest to our company for design. I’m really confused. That foreigner made the bird’s nest look like a leaky potty. It’s me. The bird eggs I dig out are definitely more than the grapes he eats. The human nest is hard to say. The bird’s nest is still a problem... I am more strict for your own sake, and the book is better. The more you die, the more you curse, the more you become more open. As soon as your head is opened, fuck, you will find that you have been studying for nothing in college for several years.
Half of the twenty or so brothers who came together back then went back to Jicheng, and half went down. In this new city, we have established an unbreakable relationship over the years, and we no longer feel single-handedly in our hearts. When gatherings in leisure time, everyone will mention that little Luo every time, and can't help but thank her for abducting everyone to such a good place.
Occasionally when returning to Yecheng, Li Fei and Gong Bixing were both proud enough. They donated more than 10,000 yuan during the college celebration and both sat on the rostrum. I took pictures of their grace under the stage, and all of them were standard photos.
To talk about the special products in Wancheng, Wanzai will pinch their fingers to give you examples of Wanxiang, Wancao, Nuomi lichee, Shrimp... But I think the legend of making a fortune is also a specialty here. It sounds like a legend. Someone next to you is really full of bumps right away, which is enough for your eyes. It's just that I have never had such luck.
Disheng graduated and was assigned to a chemical research institute in Shanghai. After staying for a while, he was dissatisfied with the sullenness inside, so he resigned and ran over with several patented technologies for new coatings. He went to various manufacturers to seek cooperation opportunities, but no boss bought it. The superior performance of these technologies of Disheng is a mess, but the production cost is not low. At that time, the Guancheng building materials industry had not yet developed to the high-tech stage, and it had to rely on price to survive. Later I learned that Disheng started his own business and rented a closed factory in Guancheng to produce new paints. The funds were obtained from my mother. My mother believed him, a high-achieving student, and gave him the money, and said, "This money is not an investment. Neighbors and neighbors. You are the one I grew up watching. If you have this idea, let's take the courage and pay me back. It doesn't matter if you lose it. Since you are there, you also pull my hand on Gu Ya by the way. He doesn't seem to be mixed up there, and there is no opportunity to start a business."
The buckets of new paint made by Disheng could not be sold at that time. After all, I stayed in Guancheng a little longer. According to my analysis, the only reason is not the quality of his products but the price. It is not backward but ahead. The pack horses on the construction site cannot eat the same concentrated feed as the foreign stallions of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Disheng did not believe in evil at first. He said, "You have been here for many years, but you may not know about paint."
"I don't know the technology, but I know what a new type of paint is for this place. That is, you find a few cheap additives and mix them with ordinary paints, as long as the effect after painting on the wall is different from other manufacturers' products. , The price is the same cheap, or even cheaper, this is damn enough. Now, many constructions are temporary, first make a big picture, and then clean up the details in the future. Your new ideas, you have to wait for this city After molding, after upgrading, add it to the paint and paint it again on the original wall!"
Di Sheng was just pouting his lips. I can't help him, he still can't understand the city. This is not the same as Beijing and Shanghai where he has stayed. Those old big cities, after so many years of development, have long been tightly barriers. I even suspect that the main purpose of those universities and even famous universities is to send children from small cities and rural areas like Disheng to the pulleys as they go through a production line. After a series of procedures, they will be standardized so that they can be able to go offline. Break through barriers and have the ability to settle in the city. Of course, this is not the case in Wancheng. Compared to the old city, Wancheng has indeed been regarded as a paradise for the poor over the past ten years, a stage where the heroes who have become monks halfway through their homes... They also have their own academic qualifications, and they are all made into talents by their own universities. Outsiders flocked in from all directions, and the Wanzi Wanwan women had no time to be exclusive, they only knew that they looked curiously at the crowds of people of all kinds, which were both curious gazes and naturally full of tolerance. They themselves also washed their feet and Ueda suddenly became city dwellers, and their xenophobic skills had to learn from the residents of the old city for decades. After earning a living in Guancheng, I can gradually understand the hardship of my mother when she started. However, she was only an example in Jicheng. Thousands of people in Guancheng continue to write about her experience. When the wage earners first came here, like me, they felt that Guancheng was nothing more than a larger rural area. But after more than ten years, they found that the farmland here no longer grows rice, but an endless city, where there are always capable people in the middle of their eyes. With the development of this city, many outsiders gradually became thinner and accumulated, or if they had an industry, they changed their hukou and suddenly became a member of this city.
After a few years, the city will become saturated and it will no longer be as easy to enter from outsiders as it is now. Outsiders are also Wanzi Wanwan girls, and even become Wan Gong Wanpo with age. Their children or grandchildren will gradually forget their origins, thinking that they were originally from here. Since there is development, there will be stages, and even at this stage, even if it is in full swing, the rush and roughness cannot be concealed.
After the start of the Guancheng City-building movement, Disheng finally got a similar understanding of mine through practice. He no longer spends his energy on complicated crafts and expensive raw materials, and adds gelatin, glass glue, luminous particles, and luminescent particles to ordinary paints. Other Disheng spelled out the additives with foreign names, and then went to bid for projects with other factories. The twelve-lane Guancheng Avenue was built for ten kilometers in an instant. Both sides of the avenue were full of construction sites and all houses were being built. At that time, as long as you were not afraid of breaking your legs when selling building materials, there were always business orders waiting for you.
After five years of city-building movement, the dust has settled. The city has been made into a big picture, and then the details are polished one by one. Just like buying a commercial house, you always have to have a rough house before decorating it. It is impossible to reverse it. Disheng has completed the initial accumulation, and then went back to make high-tech paints and new paints, and sold them in carts and carts. My mother's vision is still accurate. Money won't be thrown off Di Sheng's head. He is a real person. Sooner or later, he will find out Wancheng's heart rate.
Now, thinking about the number of tractors like migratory locusts ten years ago, I was a little bit unwilling to believe it, and I had to take a look at the photos. Motorcycles have also been banned, instead of sprinting on the road in dens like before. The streets are full of branded cars, and the people in Guancheng still feel uncomfortable looking at it, because few of them are produced by Wancheng itself. This is a kind of pain. They are eager to brand the words "Made in Wancheng" to their daily needs. Everything.
