Chapter 6 Before 1990(1/2)

When it got completely dark, Gu Yi said he was hungry again.

Qingdou laughed at him: "Why do you look like a tiger? Oh, no, you look like that mythical beast Taotie." Look, she must show off her knowledge in front of the son of a university teacher.

Gu Yi learned what an adult would say: "I'm growing."

"How many days have your parents been in Beijing?"

"Three days, come back tomorrow." He went to the cafeteria to cook for two days. He found it annoying to run back and forth, so he cooked noodles for himself.

They went to the public kitchen at the end of the third floor to cook another bowl of noodles. As soon as they reached the door, their steps changed from forward to backward.

We don't burn briquettes here, we use a new type of gas tank, so it shouldn't be too hot. But at this time, people in the building have just gotten off work and have finished cooking dinner, and it's time for several fireworks steamers to gather in the kitchen.

The two of them then diverted to a grocery store.

Green beans didn't have food stamps, so Cheng Qingsong would ask someone to exchange them with money every month. But Gu Yi did, and he seemed to have plenty.

He packed two ounces of fermented glutinous rice in an aluminum lunch box, then pointed to the jars of plum wine, rice wine, white wine, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. on the counter and said, "Beijing's non-staple food stores also sell sauce, and there is soybean sauce right here.

There is also Erbajiang, which is delicious when mixed with noodles." He swallowed his saliva, fearing that Qingdou didn't know, so he added, "Beijing's fried noodles are very, very famous!"

There are no adjectives, just two monotonically repeated adverbs of degree, telling Aomame that she is hungry.

Probably the scallion noodles in her stomach heard her burgeoning desire and went on strike.

Fortunately, Gu Yi was a good man. Without saying a word, he divided the fermented glutinous rice in half and ate it with the green beans.

If it were Hu Zi, he should have already been negotiating terms at this time: "I gave you this to eat today, remember." The implication is, you have to give me something in return next time. Huh, stingy, drink cold water, marry

A wife has four legs and a son has no legs.

I had never eaten green beans before, so I dipped them with chopsticks, and as soon as I put them in my mouth, I was astonished. The fluids in her body made her swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

“It’s delicious, it’s delicious, it’s delicious.”

"Well, this is my first time eating it directly. Usually my mother eats it with dumplings." Gu Yi took another careful sip and concluded, "It tastes better this way than dumplings."

Children are always full of desire for sweets.

Aomame was secretly happy and giggled: I'm so lucky today, I got a more delicious version of mash right away!

Gu Yi put a big spoonful of glutinous rice into his mouth. While chewing it, he looked at her dimples and smiled like crazy.

Qingdou said that she really wanted to go to Beijing to eat noodles with soybean paste.

Gu Yi said, go, there will definitely be a chance to go in the future.

She said, "I still have to take the Dangdang car. When I was a child, my father told me that he used to ride the Dangdang car to and from school when he was in Beijing. There was a small copper bell hanging on the front of the car. When it arrived at the station, the driver stepped on it.

The pedals and the car bells will go 'ding-dang-dang--', ah! I want to touch that bell." She asked Gu Yi excitedly, "Have you ever been in Beijing?"

Gu Yi shook his head, "I have only taken buses and rickshaws."

At that time, the days were really frighteningly long. It was so hot that people's concept of time was blurred. Aomame talked all the nonsense, ate all the delicious food, and was so satisfied that she almost died.

Aomame looked at the window in a daze: "It seems like a lifetime has passed for us."

Gu Yi blinked hard: "I feel like two lifetimes have passed."

"Three lifetimes."

"Four lifetimes."

"a thousand years!"

"One hundred thousand years!"

""

The glutinous rice is delicious, and the green beans make you feel good. When the green beans are in a good mood, you talk a lot.

She asked about junior high school, homework, classmates, and teachers. Although she knew it would be useless to ask, she just wanted to ask.

It was rare for her to be honest about her status as a foreigner, saying that it was very burdensome to adapt to the new classmates in junior high school again.

Huzi didn't know whether to study or not. He often said he didn't want to study anymore, which scared her so much that she stopped thinking about it.

She likes to learn but is afraid of new environments.

In the past, she wouldn't say anything like this to her second brother, and just smiled and passed it by.

Gu Yi fell on the mat and turned around a dozen times, as if he was too hot, or as if he had shared her troubles.

He thought for a while, "My mother said she wanted to buy me a 'Forever'. How did you think I did when I rode you last time? If possible, I will drive you to school." It would be better if we go to school together.

Aomame stopped laughing: "It's not a good ride."

Gu Yi: ""

His dimples popped up quickly: "Hahahaha, good, good, good, good riding, you ride better than my second brother!"

Is Gu Yi really that good? Qingdou circled his arm and shook it hard, "Really? Really?"

Gu Yi was shaken by her, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

Aomame laughed like crazy.

Smiling and laughing, everything was blurry, and when I woke up again, she was in the tent.

Aomame turned over and groped along the mat with her hands, but couldn't find a fan. She pushed her feet on the end of the bed, but there was nothing soft. Strange, where was her quilt? She turned her head again, and a wall of certificates came into view at an unfamiliar angle.

.

Oh, she is in the second brother's bed.

Qingsong was on the upper bunk when he felt the movement on the lower bunk: "Little girl Fianzi, how old are you, yet you dare to stay up all night!" He spent half the night with her, and now his voice was nasal and his voice was hoarse.

It turned out that the note was blown away by the wind.

The second brother thought that she ran away from home again and went to the bridge cave, the bus station, and the school. Finally, he couldn't help it and went to Huzi's house. Huzi walked home with his front feet. When he heard that he was looking for green beans, he stepped out with his back feet to join in the fun.

door.

Fortunately, he took him to Gu Yi's house, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Aomame laughed and apologized to her second brother.

At noon when hot sparks were everywhere, she went to the stove and cooked three bowls of rice, two bowls for him and one bowl for her, and they had a hearty meal with a red cube of fermented bean curd.

After her second brother left work and ran a stall, Qingdou finally had time to read a book and found that the book was at Gu Yi's house.

So, she ran to Gu Yi's house to get Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

The whole road is very familiar.

Heading west from her house, across a narrow passage street, and through the bicycle shed in front of the Tongzi Building, a new rubber-powder building will come into view.

After three rounds of stairs, she will be a little out of breath, but she will not rest. She usually knocks on the door first, and then holds her breath while waiting for the door to open.

Cheng Qingdou was so familiar with the road to Gu Yi's house, and her movements were so natural, it was like watching "Manhunt" five times in the park in the middle of the street. As soon as the opening credits of the movie ended, she began to memorize Ken Takakura's appearance moments and dance quickly.

At the end of the film.

But today, before her hand came to the door, the director's reshoots were accidentally cut in, catching her off guard.

Zou Yuxin's voice passed through the thin wooden door panel and reached her ears word for word——

"How many times do you believe that kind of speculative outsider who does some shady things to make a living? I told you to stay away from him. This kind of person is full of bad words. Only you, a kid, will believe that he will run away when the time comes.

Well, the police are here to call us away, you know?"

Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong

Aomame finally ran away from the sound, and suddenly felt that her legs were as weak as deflation, and she rolled down the last few stairs like a green onion.

She has a problem. When she is upset, her legs become weak. When her legs become weak, she falls. When she falls, she kowtows.

Aomame covered her forehead and squatted down by the corner, resting for a while.

When Huzi walked over like a normal person, Aomame seemed to see her relatives.

"Huzi, I want to tell you about Liaozhai." When she spoke, her lips were extremely stiff, as if she hadn't spoken for hundreds of years. But it could be seen from Huzi's reaction that she behaved normally.

Hu Zi pretended to stroke his non-existent beard, pretending to be profound: "Which time? I like Ying Ning."

Qingdou: "Nie Xiaoqian, have you seen it?"

Huzi clicked his tongue: "I must have seen it, how famous it is."

Qingdou: "Then did you know that Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen had a baby?"

Huzi was surprised: "Ah? Can humans and ghosts have children?"

When adults tell stories to children, they will definitely not describe love in too much detail. As a second-rate story dealer, Huzi also listened to the version castrated by Wang Qian.

Therefore, under the strategic arrangement of Qingdou headquarters, Huzi took the initiative to ask for help, took the lead, and couldn't wait to help her get the book.

Aomame's mind was blank. She had no time to think about it, and there was only one thought in her mind: I have to get my copy of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" back!

After a while, Gu Yi and Hu Zi went downstairs together.

Gu Yi was holding something wrapped in a newspaper bag in his arms. It was rectangular and the words Nancheng Daily were very eye-catching.

Huzi held a small book in his hand, and the pages turned rapidly, making an impatient noise.
