Chapter 4 Before 1990(1/2)
04 Nancheng
The reason why Xiaonan City is called Xiaonan City is that there is another Nancheng dozens of kilometers away.
That is the more widely known Nancheng.
When it comes to Nancheng in China, the first thing that comes to mind will never be the Xiaonancheng.
Originally, the "Nan" written in Xiaonan City was slightly different from the "Nan". The promotion of Mandarin gradually degenerated from the pronunciation of "Nan" and the writing method, and evolved into "Nan", losing its uniqueness.
The citizens of Xiaonan City don’t care. What’s the popularity? The predecessor of Shenzhen Special Zone is still Guangzhou Bao'an.
It is located on a plain with distinct four seasons. In order to meet agricultural irrigation, it is also necessary to prevent floods and droughts. Since ancient times, Daxing's water conservancy river networks are densely populated, and natural rivers and artificial rivers are arranged in a staggered manner. Three steps, one bridge, five steps, one river, and one river. It is close to Shanghai and surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River.
According to everyone's tone, they refused to incorporate into the Nancheng. The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew the earth, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the east wind to turn over.
Citizens have some new "Shenzhen" dream in their hearts.
One day in 1985, when the four big words "merger of prefectures and cities" appeared in the Nancheng Daily, the citizens of Xiaonancheng were in high spirits. After only half a day of the daily release, the city was as if it was about to revolt. The most sensitive thing was the price of the traitor.
Hu Zi heard Qingsong say that prices were going to rise at noon, and the words were blowing to Zhang Lanfeng.
In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted "same commodity, two prices", with the purpose of liberalizing the prices originally stipulated and controlled by the state and let the market decide. This is a huge challenge.
In the 1980s, the prices of the same commodity usually differed greatly. To be combined, prices would inevitably rise. Breaking the house was a profession that came into being, while citizens lived with their pockets every day through official newspapers and rumors.
No matter how well a hungry person lives, hunger and panic are rooted in his subconscious.
Zhang Lanfeng was so scared that she couldn't even sit still on the stool. She took out the food coupons and meat coupons and some integer banknotes from the corner of the cabinet, the bottom of the biscuit box, the pillow mezzanine, and the penultimate picture.
Hu Zi Tianchai: "I heard that it has increased a lot and I can't afford to eat anymore. The TV and refrigerator in the department store were stolen." What a expensive thing, I buy it when I say it. It must be a terrifying thing!
The more he said, the more he was rumbling through boxes and cabinets in the room.
Hu Zi's mouth is not just practicing in front of Qingdou. In order to achieve his goals, especially for eating, he will exaggerate some of it.
Sure enough, while carrying a pile of rice and flour home in the afternoon, he also ate the lard rice cake that he had been greedy for a long time.
The tiger was so angry that he begged for two pieces, but actually secretly hid one piece and wrapped it carefully in a handkerchief.
When I arrived at Qingdou's house, the lush and steep five-needle pine beside the wall had been emptied.
He asked, "Where is Brother Qingsong's baby?"
"Sold." The trend of Wuting Pine is gone. Qingpine is closed at a high price. Wuting Pine is reluctant to sell, so it can only be packaged at a low price.
The "wanderers" without institutional protection always live in the vigilance of the turbulent situation. If there is any turbulence, they should clear the goods and make a return, otherwise they will be able to drink the northwest wind in the middle of summer.
After raising it for two years, Qingsong has developed feelings for it. He has to say a few words to them when he comes out early and comes back late. When he moves, he feels a little reluctant to leave.
Green beans were numb to this, sweeping away the dust and dusting the spider webs, just pretending that the five-needle pine tree had never been here.
Meng Ting, the second daughter-in-law of the landlord, just came to ask her for a box of snowflake cream and clam oil cracking cream, which was three cents cheaper, but she didn't immediately get it done. She smiled while humming the song and said she would keep it in the account.
I don't know if I will give it money.
On Qingdou's book, the two wives all owed a bottle of hair salon and a pair of bell-bottom pants. She complained to her second brother that he didn't take it seriously and told her not to care.
Green bean suffocated the smell of snowflake cream that was dissipated by the heat and walked towards Huzi. My second brother said that this was used by a Shanghai lady. No wonder it smelled quite nice.
Hu Zi glanced at Meng Ting's back and asked Qingdou: "What did she want?"
Meng Ting is famous for his "bourgeois lifestyle". The things she uses must be good things. Hu Zi has always meddled with other people's business.
"Clam oil cracking cream and snow cream." Qingdou Mian took the lard rice cake without expression, said thank you softly, broke it half and distributed it to Huzi.
"Use this in summer?" Don't you feel tired of it?
"have no idea."
Hu Zi had already eaten a piece, but his stomach was still empty. Seeing that the half was handed over, he immediately became hungry and packed the half in one bite.
It was just at this moment that Gu Yi ran away with panting, "Dou'er, Brother Qingsong asked you to go to the intersection."
In the evening of the summer, he ran so hard that the whole white I-shaped vest was soaked.
"What's wrong!" Qingdou was so scared that her heart was about to be gone.
Last time, Qingsong was caught by the police station, and was seen by Hu Zi who was walking. He was frightened and did not dare to move.
Meng Ting got off the bus and ran into Qingsong's hands while begging for mercy. Her eyes turned and Hu Zi quickly went to find Qingdou, telling Qingdou that he would rush to the police to cry when he came. The louder he cried, the better, and it would be better to cry like his second brother was dead.
Hu Zi was also running over for life like Gu Yi. He was sweating profusely in the middle of winter and could hardly get angry.
When Qingdou heard about this, she didn't need to cry on purpose. The moment she hugged the police comrade's thigh, she cried so much that her facial features were gone.
She said, "Brother, please," and "I won't live if you take my brother away." She shouted so hard that she was sincere and cried so hard that everyone on the street looked over.
The policeman was also a newcomer. His ears became soft and his local accent pulled away without changing his heart: "Next time, telling your brother not to do this kind of thing, this time it will be like this."
As he said that, he coughed heavily, and wanted to learn from the old gay and pretend to be a fake intimidation, but he didn't describe the essence. It seemed that he was getting old and wiped tears for Qingdou.
Qingsong was fined fifty yuan for the amount of not having a temporary residence permit and did not enter the police station. I heard that if the crime of speculation was subject to the crime of trash, he would have to be sentenced.
On the way back, Hu Zi commented to Qingdou, who was still afraid of her, and said, "You are so good at the show, you cry out of Meng Jiangnu's momentum of crying in the Great Wall."
This one has no vision.
Green beans were almost exasperated with red eyes.
After that, if someone runs to call Qingdou, Qingdou will scare you to sieve the chaff. Just like Gu Yi at this moment—
The lard rice cake was delivered to the corner of his mouth, and the mouth was covered with oil. The green beans forgot to swallow, just to wait for Gu Yi to support his knees with both hands, take a breath and finish his words.
"No" knowing what she was worried about, Gu Yi panted and waved his hand at her.
Qingdou made a gesture to beat him. But she just raised her hand with a bluff. In the next move, she divided the half of the lard rice cake and gave it to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi chewed the rice cake and walked towards the intersection with the green beans.
The slower he chewed, the more greedy Hu Zi was. How could Gu Yi have another flavor? Is the piece in his mouth more delicious?
No, isn't the same piece in his mouth as the one he just swallowed?

Most of the people in Xiaonan City are within the system, with only two traffic lights in the city, and one of the largest ones is at the intersection next to their family and landlords, which shows the importance of geographical location.
In the 21st century, it is a prime location. In 1985, these two traffic lights came out and were regarded as rural areas.
When we go to and from get off work, a vast crowd surged over the traffic lights. Half of them walked, half riding bicycles such as flying pigeons, phoenixes, etc., and the dragon head turned and turned by.
Last year, there were bicycles sold in-house prices, and there were more new cars in the city. The bicycle body was very high, and it looked like a passerby when riding it.
Cheng Qingsong became darker and shirtless, with copper-colored skin on his body, and was repairing a Phoenix bicycle with a spoke broken in front of the repair stall.
Even a bicycle can ride a spoke off, which shows how hard it is to pedal.
Qingdou ran to Qingsong, squatted down and looked at him in a straight line: "What do you want me to do?" She was frightened. If Gu Yi hadn't had his face as usual, she would have already cried like rain and was about to cry.
Qingsong was very excited, with his mouth raised very high: "When the car is repaired, I will take you to a place."
Hu Zi made a good deal and put his head together: "What's the matter?"
Qingsong kept it in hiding, "If you don't tell you, just follow me if you want to know."
When Hu Zi heard this, he obviously had itchy buttocks and wanted to be beaten. He took advantage of Zhang Lanfeng's get off work and secretly took the bicycle keys, pedaled onto the bike, and took Gu Yi to watch the fun.
Qingdou sat on his second brother's second bar, his eyes narrowed lazily, and moved to the west facing the sunset.
Four people, two cars, one in front and one behind, were even better than the previous race. The man's humming and exerted force sound, one on the left and one behind, was like a ox plowing the ground and was tired, and he kept venting his breath.
Hu Zi carried a young man Gu Yi and rushed to the west like an arrow. He didn't know where he was going, but as long as he was far away from home and there was something new, Hu Zi was willing to go anywhere.
Green Bean's shoulder-length hair danced wildly, pressing against her sweaty cheeks. The wind couldn't stop her from coming, and she didn't feel hot at all.
Qingsong pedaled hard and asked Qingdou loudly: "Are you afraid?"
Qingdou bowed to hold the car bell and turned her head to look at Gu Yi.
In the golden sunset, he grabbed the gripper under the cushion of Hu Zi, with no fear expression.
Qingdou shook her head and pointed her hand forward: "I'm not afraid of brother! Beyond them!"
"Hahahahaha, OK." Qingsong had enough effort to ride side by side with Hu Zi, so he was completely giving in to him. The spokes that had just been repaired and the wheel oil that had just been brushed, made it very exciting to ride.
Seeing that Hu Zi was overwhelmed, he stood up and kicked around without any effort. He actively participated in all competitions outside of learning.
The car soon lost its stability and almost fell.
Fortunately, Gu Yi was tall and had long legs to support his body left and right. Of course, he also scolded Hu Zi: "You calcium oxide!"
As soon as they attacked the trafficking, they stopped in front of a private house.
Here is a distance from the traffic lights, and looking back, there are large areas of farmland, which makes people feel nervous.
When you see the green, you will know that you have almost reached the urban-rural junction.

In the past two years, China has started the TOEFL test. A young man in Nancheng is going abroad this year. Although he has scholarships, he still has to prepare some money. Studying has long consumed his family, so the money he goes abroad is probably even more exaggerated.
Everyone's waist bag is so flat that it only has a thin layer of sandwich cloth. Where can I get the money? I can't even borrow it.
Qingsong learned from the buyer that the house was being sold and couldn't wait to see it.
