Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, and you didn't belong to me. We were still the same, accompanying a stranger, walking through the streets that were gradually becoming familiar..."

Recently, He Yuzhu has been humming the song "Ten Years" meaninglessly.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Exactly ten years have passed since He Daqing took over the entire No. 95 Courtyard as his "private residence", "renovated" it and moved in.

Now, it’s already 04.

He Yuzhu hummed the song "Ten Years" last year, in May 03, after the release of "Doctor" which became popular in the streets and alleys. He Yuzhu then remembered it.

In fact, He Yuzhu would rather hum "Ten Years of Human Life".

Because the lyrics "There is no time to tell the ups and downs of the story, there are the most turbulent peaks, which have fulfilled your and my arrogance, the clear light of the sea and the full moon are filled in the cup, there is the most arrogant snow-capped mountain, which has listened quietly to your and my recitation, the scenes that the world admires are nothing but ordinary." may be more appropriate.

So much has happened in these ten years.

Even He Yuzhu, who has experienced this period of time, can clearly feel that time has passed by quickly, as if someone has pressed the accelerator key.

Come to think of it, that's the case.

In his previous life, He Yuzhu had only grown from 4 to 14 years old at this point in time.

This is the age when one is carefree and having fun. How can one have the time to think about changes or time?

How could He Yuzhu be like this now, who has gone from being in his 60s to approaching 70, and is at the age where he laments that "life is just passing by" and has many things to consider?

seriously.

In the past ten years, not only have the days passed by quickly.

The others also obviously became faster.

Especially in 01, after the old man Samaranch said "uncertain", and after my country officially joined the WTO at the end of the year, it was impacted by Western culture, which was even more evident.

In addition, there was the return of Hong Kong Island in 97 and the return of Macau Island in 99.

Especially Hong Kong Island, as one of the four Asian Tigers, we now have a window to the outside world.

Now, Western things are coming in faster.

Let’s just talk about telephones in the past ten years.

It also started with the pager that was only distributed to senior executives in He Yuzhu's unit.

Later, mobile phones became known as big brothers.

Now, the military has independently developed a 2G communication network phone.

However, He Yuzhu was not very good at using this phone.

When He Yuzhu usually calls his family or friends, he uses the first batch of Nokia 03 that he bought last year, in 1000, for more than 1100 yuan.

Now, others may think that He Yuzhu is still using Nokia 1100, which is not up to standard and trendy.

Nowadays, everyone is paying attention to 32-chord and 64-chord.

What about cameras with megapixels?

Or, answer calls on the free PHS, or something like that.

But He Yuzhu always smiled and said nothing.

What a fuss.

People nowadays may not understand the value of 1100.

However, He Yuzhu, who has experienced it, knows it.

1100 is the predecessor of the legendary “1110”.

In other words, the configuration is slightly different from 1100.

The rest, you could say, is the same.

Moreover, this thing can be used almost until He Yuzhu dies.

Not to mention anything else, when He Yuzhu traveled through time in his previous life, it had already been 24 years.

At that time, many people were still using 1100.

Not to mention the "8848", "Vitu" and other imitations that are like IQ taxes, aren't they just 1100?

Even now, all the young girls and boys in He Yuzhu's school admire He Yuzhu very much.

Why?

It’s because He Yuzhu can type text messages blindly on his mobile phone after a period of “adaptation”.

Hey.

This should be a skill "shared" by many people born in the 80s and 90s, right?

However, in this era, this "skill" is still considered "high-end".

Moreover, He Yuzhu can not only type blindly using his mobile phone, but also using a computer.

A few years ago, the authorities issued documents advocating "paperless" office.

He Yuzhu's school has officially started to implement it.

This is just great.

You can see a large group of elderly people in their 6s and 70s wearing reading glasses, working with the "two-finger Zen" and "one button and one raise head" techniques under the guidance of their secretaries or "professionals".

He Yuzhu is not included here.

joke.

He Yuzhu was able to memorize the complete code of "Super Mario" in the DOS system in the "microcomputer class" when he was in elementary school.

How could this small "office software" be a problem for He Yuzhu?

Not to mention, in ordinary office work, the most required thing is just "typing".

Don't get me wrong.

Although He Yuzhu had learned Wubi in primary school in his previous life, he had already returned everything like "王旁草头皆五一" to the teacher.

Naturally, the typing speed is definitely not as fast as those of professional "typists".

However, if He Yuzhu uses "Smart ABC", it will be enough for him after he becomes proficient in it for a while.

This also made the old men and women in their school look at them with admiration and envy.

But with the popularization of computers and the increasing stability of the Internet.

Bad things are coming.

In other words, this kind of thing will happen at every point in time.

Just like the game consoles from the 80s and 90s.

Just like mobile games in the 10s and 20s.

Now, at this time, "computer rooms" and "Internet cafes" have also shown a trend of being "led".

In other words, with the continuous innovation of online games, this topic has become a hot topic.

In later generations, He Yuzhu was very confused.

It is impossible to say that these games, these objects, even those in novels, movies and TV series, are completely problem-free.

But isn’t the biggest problem that there is something wrong with the parents’ way of disciplining their children?

However, He Yuzhu no longer thinks so for a while.

The year before last, should it be the year before last, 02.

Yes, it was the year before last, when we entered the World Cup for the first time to play against Korea and Japan in the finals.

During that period, it happened that little He Wen and his wife Chu Taotao were very busy at work, so they asked the old couple He Yuzhu to help look after He Chenguang who was about to start his freshman summer vacation.

As we all know, the relationship between the grandson and the eldest grandson is close, so he must be spoiled to no end.

He Yuzhu didn't pay attention, or rather, he and Shi Xiaona didn't care at all, and let He Chenguang go out.

Kids, it’s Saturday, so if you want to go out and play, just go out and play, right?

But it was this "going out to play" that almost caused the death of He Yuzhu's eldest grandson.

Things are simple.

He Chenguang became obsessed with "Legend".

I used the excuse of going out with classmates and went home directly at night.

Then, I ran to the Internet cafe.

but.

June 6th, Beijing, Xueyuan Road, these three keywords come together.

It can be said that He Yuzhu, who had experienced many storms, almost collapsed when he heard this.

Fortunately, over the years, He Chenguang's family has provided him with a good education.

He Chenguang still knew that he couldn't stay out overnight.

He Chenguang returned home before midnight.

People, all have bad natures.

When something happens, my first reaction is always “It’s not my fault, it’s someone else’s fault.”

This was also He Yuzhu’s first thought at the time.

However, what followed was a deep sense of self-blame on He Yuzhu's part.

really.

Anyone can say something unless it happens to them.

After this incident, He Yuzhu kept it a secret from Shi Xiaona and Chu Taotao.

However, I still don’t know how to face He Wen, who already knows the truth, and Chu Taotao, who still doesn’t know the truth.

Although, He Wen had no intention of blaming He Yuzhu and the other old couple.

It was after this incident that He Chenguang seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.

His grades, which were not outstanding at first, plummeted after he became obsessed with "Legend".

Later he "turned over a new leaf" and "became among the best."

In a blink of an eye, it has been two years since this happened.

He Chenguang is also going to take the college entrance examination.

He Yuzhu, who had buried the matter in his heart, once asked He Chenguang in private, "What are your ideals?" . . . . .

No, I asked He Chenguang what he wanted to learn.

At He Yuzhu's age, he no longer has the desire to see his son become successful.

I just hope that my grandchildren can live a happy and peaceful life.

It’s just that He Chenguang’s “ideal” is a bit too ambitious.

"Grandpa, I want to study robots. I want our people to never die again."

For this ideal, after the college entrance examination, He Chenguang took the early batch, packed his luggage and went to Sifangping in Changsha.

Okay, okay.

Although, the ultimate goal is to live a healthy, safe and happy life.

But it's good to have some pursuit.

and.

After He Chenguang went to Sifangping Vocational and Technical College, He Yuzhu's abilities were put to good use, right?

Because, a few years ago, I think it was the year of "For Whom", a part of the General Logistics Department was separated and became the General Assembly Department.

He Yuzhu has many "colleagues" and "students", all of whom are now in assembly.

In fact, He Yuzhu himself retired from his deputy position in the General Logistics Department.

Yes, He Yuzhu has retired.

No, it should be said that He Yuzhu has resigned and is recuperating now.

However, this "resignation and recuperation" is different from the "resignation and recuperation" that He Yuzhu originally participated in in order to "retire".

He Yuzhu's current resignation and rest is purely due to the two stars on his shoulders.

Yes.

Even when He Yuzhu retired, he still didn't get three stars.

no way.

Having reached this level, it is extremely difficult to "retire and move up a level".

Not to mention normal times.

However, although He Yuzhu did not advance by one level, he still advanced by half a level.

The millennium, when He Yuzhu turned 65 years old.

According to the "Law on Active Duty Officers" which came into effect on January 89, 1, He Yuzhu, an old man who had been "overage" for five years at the turn of the millennium, was taken care of by his superiors.

He was transferred back to the General Logistics Department from the position of "Vice Principal" of the school, served as a deputy for three months, and then "left the job to recuperate."

Don’t think that in the millennium, the General Logistics Department and the school were on the same level and both were legitimate.

But, starting from 04, that is, this year, things have been different.

The school went through a layoff last year, in 03, and then in May of this year, it separated the Graduate School into an independent college.

The current school has become a vice-university.

Look, inside and out, isn’t He Yuzhu equivalent to being promoted “half a level”?

Maybe He Yuzhu has long been accustomed to this kind of "leisurely" life.

When He Yuzhu really retired, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Still the same.

Every day, instead of listening to music, I study "logistics".

Just go back to school and give lectures to freshmen.

Otherwise, they would go back to the General Logistics Department to be "visited", "given lectures" or "given speeches".

Anyway, day by day, I live happily.

Besides, even if He Yuzhu is really boring.

Can't you still play games online?

In his previous life, He Yuzhu was studying hard at this time and had no time to play the most popular games such as "Legend", "Fantasy", "World of Warcraft" and so on.

But now, He Yuzhu has some free time and has plenty of time.

However, it may be that He Yuzhu is too old.

In addition, He Yuzhu had never played the game before, unlike those people in later generations who are in their 30s and still play the game for the sake of sentimentality and can get into it.

He Yuzhu only had a brief taste of these games.

Now, when He Yuzhu is really bored, he will return to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

Get a recliner and move a small coffee table.

Placed at the gate of the courtyard.

Lying on a recliner, drinking tea leisurely, watching the bustling scene of people coming and going in the alley.

Once you start watching it, you can spend half a day or a whole day watching it.

It’s not that the General Logistics Department compound where He Yuzhu lives now and the school compound in Hongshankou are not lively.

Anyone who has lived in a staff housing building knows this.

If everyone in a unit lives in a residential area, there will be a lot more excitement.

The bustle in Nanluoguxiang is a little different.

how to say?

What He Yuzhu enjoys is the bustle created by the blend of the "commercial atmosphere" formed by the people coming and going from the south and the north, from the east to the west, the small vendors, various businesses and various tourist groups, and the "life atmosphere" formed by the residents of the alley.

He Yuzhu couldn't quite say when he developed this habit.

Maybe, it was because He Daqing left last year.

Sometimes, He Yuzhu couldn't help but think.

You tell me, how much blessing must one have accumulated in the previous life to be able to leave peacefully in one's sleep in this life?

Last year, when He Daqing passed away, no one in He Yuzhu's family knew about it.

It was Xiao Liu and Xiao Li, who had been following He Daqing, who only found out when they saw that He Daqing had not gone out in the morning.

Very good, very good.

He Daqing never suffered much in his life and even enjoyed a happy life in his old age.

This time, I'm leaving and enjoying myself even better.

He Yuzhu and He Yushui, brother and sister, were not very sad about this.

After all, the old man was 88 years old when he passed away last year.

In this age where the average age is less than 70, it can be considered a happy funeral.

After a simple funeral attended only by relatives, friends, real relatives and old neighbors.

All that He Daqing left behind were these inheritances and a small piece of "rented" land in the cemetery.

Of course, there are also some "names" in people's hearts and mouths.
