Chapter 15 Before 1990(1/3)
The refrigerator factory was sold, which Aomame found out from the ledger.
There are several transfer certificates in the ledger, as well as the Chinese character "Rong" that has been practiced over and over again in pencil.
Poor Cheng Qingsong, who has never graduated from elementary school, has written so many words. The structure of this word must be difficult for him, so he can only write six or seven pages to be decent.
If he has this skill, it would be great to practice his name.
Aomame had laughed at him before, thinking he was a boss after all, and why his name was written like matchsticks.
What did he say then?
Oh, he said he hated writing the most, and would rather go hungry than write.
She regretted being cruel to her second brother that day. Even though it was so hard, he didn't say anything.
Aomame sniffed, rolled her eyes upwards, and quickly swallowed down the inexplicable emotion and sadness.
Xiao Guizi was like this too. She was very bad at writing at the beginning. Even if the white paper was not evenly written, she could actually write crooked characters on the field. She was like an illiterate who had just learned to write.
Aomame couldn't help but suspect that her letter was actually not received by high school student Xiao Guizi, but opened by the concierge of the High School Affiliated to Nancheng Normal University. Although the uncle had little education, he loved literature and art, so he used her to practice calligraphy.
Her suspicions were not without reason.
It doesn't matter that Xiao Guizi's handwriting is ugly or that his writing is not straight. What makes Qingdou most angry is that except for the first letter, all the letters he wrote later were excerpts from Tang poetry.
She wrote a letter to express that she had moved to a new home, and he copied a sentence: If you want to see a thousand miles away, you can move to a higher level.
She was intoxicated by writing, "It's great to have a pen pal," and he copied a sentence: "The end of the world is the number of dreams, and doubts and mistakes lead to new knowledge."
After going back and forth twice, Aomame became discouraged. She couldn't cut off the contact directly, which seemed very rude to her.
Therefore, Aomame wrote a farewell letter. In the letter, she praised his improvement in handwriting very eloquently, and then tactfully expressed that there had been changes in her family and she would no longer be able to write letters in the future.
Unexpectedly, this "concierge man" was quite generous. He replied, "There are close friends in the world, and there are neighbors in the world." He also took 20 eight-cent stamps.
Qingdou took the letter and asked Susu what it meant.
Susu patted her little head and said, "What are you thinking about all day long? You write when you want to write, and don't write when you don't want to. I've never seen pen pals as tired as you."
This is why Susu doesn’t understand. Qingdou said: “There are many pen pals meeting now.”
"Do you think a high school student with handwriting like this will look good? He's worse than a tiger." Su Su raised the letter and looked at the sun to see if there was a transparent watermark. "Did it give you some secret code?"
Susu went to the Finance and Banking School in Nancheng after the summer vacation last year. She planned to count banknotes every day, and she recently learned how to read watermarks.
Aomame folded the letter and said: "Forget it, what kind of romance do you expect the concierge to do?" It was difficult to write a single line, and he couldn't speak human words, and he even had secret codes.
Susu fiddled with Qingdou's two mature twists that reached her chest: "Then will you reply to the letter?"
Aomame raised her fingertips and pulled back her braid: "Let's talk about it. If you want to go back, you can go back. If you don't want to go back, don't go back."
Susu laughed. Xiaonizi learned very quickly.
Qingdou asked Susu seriously about going to school, "Is it good there?"
"Okay! You come here! I will be assigned to a bank after graduation, and I will lie in a pile of money every day from now on!"
Susu will not persuade Qingdou to go to high school. In her opinion, only good students can go to technical secondary schools. If they can go to technical secondary schools, no one will go to high school. To be exaggerated, technical secondary schools are better than Tsinghua and Peking University.
The place.
The banking school she went to was founded just a few years ago and is still a sericulture farm, but many of its graduates are in Nancheng.
She was able to go there to study partly because of Yulin's light. So when she comes back from rest, she will take Yu Tingting with her seriously.
Although Yu Tingting was not nice to her at all.
From Yu Tingting's point of view, her mother had been overpowered by her aunt recently, all because of Russell. Without her, Meng Ting would never have been so frustrated that she couldn't reply.
Russell asked how she brought Aomame. She was so tired that she wanted to go back to the countryside.
Not long after Yu Tingting and Yu Feifei were born, Qingdou came. The adults went to work, so they assigned the older child to watch over the younger ones. So for a long time, Qingdou was the supervisor to watch over the two babies.
Yu Tingting has ideas, likes to tease people, climb high and step down, has the typical urban spirit, and also likes to complain. Russell has a big head.
Aomame's mind was filled with the matter of attending a technical secondary school, and she wrote lightly: "While they were sleeping, I read the little book, and when they cried, I would shake the bed, and it would soon become quiet."
Russell Su said: "Tingting blamed me for having a bad temper and said, 'Sister Doudou would never be cruel to me.'" She imitated Tingting's arrogant attitude of pretending to be an old egg.
Qingdou smiled: "Ignore her, she also disliked me when she was little."
Russell frowned: "What do you think of you?"
"You think I'm too poor," Aomame sighed, and smiled bitterly, "You think I'm poor."
Russell rolled his eyes, so hard that the black eyeballs disappeared for a few seconds, "Ignore her!"
Qingdou took Susu's arm and smiled on her thin shoulders. She smiled, but there was bitterness in her mouth again. Alas, she also thought she was poor.

In the afternoon, Huzi made a triumphant return and brought roasted sweet potatoes from the gate of No. 13 Middle School.
The charred and sweet roasted sweet potatoes are so red that the green bean gluttons are so active that they keep swallowing their saliva.
As soon as she peeled off the sweet potato skin and put it into her mouth, Huzi started to make requests: "You asked me to watch a movie last time. How about going today?"
Aomame's face drooped and she quickly returned the sweet potato to him.
Susu took the sweet potato, took a bite, peeled off the skin, and handed it to Qingdou, "Eat it first and then talk about it."
That's right. Qingdou's heart was filled with anger, and he opened his mouth to take a big mouthful. He thought to himself, I'm going to give up, I don't have any money.
Susu and Qingdou worked hand in hand to fight against the enemy, spitting and spitting. Just when they were about to win, the basketball clicked and clicked regularly from far to near - Gu Yi came.
Dongmenqiao is neither big nor small. Whenever you meet someone, they are all acquaintances.
Following Gu Yi was a man, of medium height, with fine features. Qingdou knew this man. He was a gangster who played with Gu Yi in the billiards room back then. He was also a senior at Susu Bank School. His name was Xiao Hai.
When the man saw Su Su, he turned his face and seemed to want to leave. After taking two steps, he probably figured it out and turned back, looking straight ahead. But he didn't look at Su Su.
Yo. Aomame's eyes lit up and she scratched Su Su's palm.
Gu Yi ignored them and asked, "What are you doing?" The three of them stood beside the carport, like Roman columns.
Aomame said: "There's a quarrel!"
Xiao Hai asked: "What's the noise about? Do you want help?"
Aomame asked: "Are you helping men or women?"
Xiaohai took a step forward: "Of course I will help!"
Huzi got excited and said, "Justice! I'll take the blame here!" He crackled a handful of beans, focusing on Aomame's lack of conscience.
Just when Huzi was about to launch the second wave of commotion, Susu spoke: "Brother Haizi, didn't you say you wanted to invite me to watch a movie last time? How about we come together."
After she finished speaking, there was an immediate silence. Even Hu Zi, who was showing his teeth and claws, was cast a restraining spell. Everyone's heads were aligned, and they threw their inquiries meaningfully towards the small sea.
In this era, it is shameful for students to talk about love and stealing. The curiosity and desire of adolescence are concealed, such as writing a love letter, setting up a fireworks show, or watching a movie together in a more luxurious way.
.
Everyone sees through it but doesn’t say anything about it.
Xiaohai has a thin skin, and his face suddenly turns into a pig's kidney.
"Didn't you say you were not free?" His voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Gu Yi was surprised that the person who shouted the most arrogantly when playing billiards was silent now.
"I'm free today." Susu pushed Qingdou to let her take a look. After saying that, she took a step forward and walked to Xiaohai, shyly and timidly, "Then are you free?"
Qingdou was extremely shocked, Susu was so powerful and proactive!
"Yes." He couldn't care less about his appointment with Gu Yi to play ball. His voice suddenly became louder, and he looked at Qingdou Huzi and said, "Would you like to come together? I'll treat you."
The poor man was eye-opening: "Wow." A ticket for the weekend show is 30 cents, so five people are worth 1.5 yuan.
Qingdou learned quickly and said with two sweet dimples: "Thank you, Brother Haizi!"

A new regional cinema has opened in Xiao Nancheng, and it is currently building momentum. Various small pink flyers are flying on bicycles, telephone poles, and on the road, saying "Opening Anniversary", "Welcome to the Movies", and "Discounts can be obtained with flyers."
.
The art work of the new cinema is very good, and the cinema posters on the wall attract a lot of people. There are only three movies in total, with bright posters, two "human" movies and one "ghost" movie. Aomame was the first to write off zombies.
piece.
Huzi wanted to see "The Unruly Lord", but the movie was already available in local theaters, but he didn't expect it to be available in new regional theaters.
Aomame's eyes stayed on the poster "Half Fire, Half Sea Water". This name is so special.
Susu understood and spoke before Huzi: "Brother Haizi, let's watch the movie called Hai Hai."
The ticket seller glanced at them and her eyes fell on Qingdou: "This movie is not for children."
Aomame felt cold.
Huzi groaned and leaned towards the window: "Auntie, we are all adults. We just applied for that... called... ID card a few days ago." He pointed at Qingdou, "She is short. She is from Nancheng Normal University.
A high school student from the attached middle school.”
