Rebirth Night Talk

"I'm dead, you have to show me movies for three days and play books for one day." After eating, grandma leaned on a cane, and followed her son chattering about arranging the funeral after her death.

Zhao Jianguo washed a hot towel and handed it to his old lady. His old lady ignored him and whispered to him very mysteriously: "Your wife, have you made me a skirt?" The shroud worn later is called the skirt (shroud skirt).

Zhao Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This year, my old lady has become more and more childish. She doesn't care whether you are busy or not, what you want to do, and doesn't even think about whether it is suitable or not.In short, whatever I want now, you have to get me what I say is wrong, right or wrong.Recently...the old lady returned to her hometown, and an old lady in the same village passed away. She built a ostentatious colorful shed. The funeral took seven days, two days of movies, and two octaves playing for seven days.The always proud old lady was stimulated and decided to go home to arrange the funeral.About the arrangement after her death, the Zhao family had to listen to it at least thirty times a day.

"It's done! It's done! The seven floors... are all made of satin and silk, and the oranges have been prepared for you a long time ago."

Zhao Jianguo helped the old lady into the house, and helped her turn on the record player. The old lady was quiet, and then nagged to the son who was going out: "What's the matter, do you have to make thirteen layers for me? All of them need satin!" Zhao Jianguo called Staggering, he pushed down the door and went out.

Seeing her son disappear, the old lady raised her head again, and said with a very clear expression: "I miss my eldest son, and I want to live with my eldest son. I'm going to die, and I haven't seen my eldest grandson for five years." .”

Zhao Xuejun was sitting in the living room watching cartoons, Wang Xi looked ashamed, and sat playing with his fingers with a sorry face.Last week, Zhao Xuejun came back from Hainan for the college entrance examination, and brought the first batch of fruit tea drinks produced in the factory.He wore stars and moon all the way, got off the car and got on the plane and rushed to the outside of the examination room. He insisted on stopping Zhao Xuejun who was about to enter, and dedicated his gift "Junyi" brand juice to Zhao Xuejun to drink.Zhao Xuejun didn't want to drink it at first, but he insisted on it!

Okay!Some people have weak intestines and stomachs. What Wang Xi brought back was a high-concentration special juice. A small can was used for more than ten days. The bottle was also hung in the examination room.He said he did well in the exam, but no one believed him.

Wang Xi, who got into trouble, has looked like a defeated rooster since that day, and acted like a beaten dog.He followed Zhao Xuejun without saying a word, he didn't like food, he didn't collect the hawthorn raw materials in the factory, and he didn't negotiate the contract.Who dared to call him chairman, he stopped laughing, and did not imitate Gao Juzi to hand out business cards, he just followed without saying a word, just like the shadow of Zhao Xuejun.

When the cartoon finally finished, Zhao Xuejun stood up and shook it.Wang Xi hurried over to help him, eyes full of apology and concern.

"It's okay, I've been sitting for a long time. You can accompany me to the infusion!" Zhao Xuejun smiled, feeling that it didn't matter, he was relieved of himself, he wrote everything that should be written, but he ran out before he had diarrhea, and finally He had a fever that day, and his answers to the questions were rather vague, but he felt that it was not bad, and he did everything he needed to do.

Zhao Jianguo took out the money and handed it to his son, while carefully watching his son's face nagging: "If you fail the exam, you will fail the exam. At worst, you will study for a year."

"Dad! It's all right. I've filled out the volunteers. Am I not confident enough to fill them out? Tianzhou City is a nice place. I've wanted to go there for a long time. Well... the weather is good. The climate is similar to ours throughout the year. What's important is that it's not far from our Shanxi. Isn't there the first shopping mall that my mother worked in other provinces? Isn't my brother Zhou Rui also there? I also want to help. Don't worry, a book No, there are two copies left in Tianzhou, anyway, I won’t review them!” Zhao Xuejun was depressed.

"Success, no review, no review. That...Wang Xi, it's nothing, don't take it seriously, your aunt is hoping that he doesn't do well in the exam, and no one is in charge of the family shop now. Go, go. , Remember to call your godfather internationally at night, don’t wait for your godfather to call every time, our family does not lack those, your godfather misses you!"

Wang Xi took out the money from Zhao Xuejun's hand and handed it to Zhao Jianguo, meaning that he had money.Anyway, in the past few days, this person has not uttered a word, and his silence is outrageous.He stretched out his hand and vigorously helped Zhao Xuejun, who was a head lower than himself, to walk out.

Covering his forehead, Zhao Xuejun was in grief and anger. Didn't he just encounter diarrhea in the exam, and the test scores haven't been scored yet, so the scores he estimated are about the same?What are you doing?The eldest brother made a phone call a day, and the second brother sent piles of game cards, and even a book "If You Give Me Three Days of Light".Orange's mother left everything behind and came back from other places to accompany her son. Even her godfather made international long-distance calls a day, and it is said that she sent back a large set of foreign coins to please him.

In short, let's put it this way, the whole world proves one thing with attitude.They all think that Zhao Xuejun is narrow-minded!

Zhao Xuejun stood in the sun, and before he could bask comfortably for two seconds, there was a "Boom!" on the top of his head, and a black parasol covered his head.

"I want to burn the sun!" Zhao Xuejun was very angry!

Wang Xi ignored him, and helped him go out. Along the way, the enthusiastic neighbors in the small courtyard kept asking, "Junjun, did you do well in the college entrance examination?"

"San'er, come out, it doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam, who doesn't get sick, how can a person live up to the sky? Think about it!"

"Junjun, do you want to eat watermelon? By the way, you can't eat melon, so... I want to order some!"

"San'er, did you do well in the exam! Your family members are all smart, so it's no problem to be appointed!"

"San'er, let's play together... After a few days of playing, all the troubles will be gone."

The tall Wang Xi became shorter and shorter, and finally squatted in front of Zhao Xuejun, and said in a low voice, "Back... you!"

"You fucking (damn)...Wang Xi, don't drag me...I don't want to carry it! It's not a broken leg!" Zhao Xuejun finally exploded.

Coming out of the clinic, Zhao Xuejun looked at his blue hands and couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, he could eat anything, and that was his iron stomach.He turned his head to look at the more handsome Wang Xi, who had an adult face and bared his teeth. He was very envious of this temperament. He was already 19 years old, and he was being coaxed like a child.

Wang Xi was embarrassed by his laughter, and finally said, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Look at you handsome, Wang Xi, what do you want now, many women are chasing after you, right?"

Wang Xi lowered his head, concealed a trace of complacency, raised his head and nodded: "Yes, not a lot."

Zhao Xuejun asked tentatively: "You haven't found a place to live? You are already 22, and this is in Xiaoshantou Village. You are the father of three children."

Wang Xi thought for a while, then shook his head neatly: "I didn't look for it, why did I look for that one, it's troublesome, I'm busy, I don't think about it before I'm 30."

Zhao Xuejun didn't know what was wrong, so he became happy. He laughed foolishly for a while, and suggested that Wang Xi go to the roof of the old house with him to stay for a while.Wang Xi saw Zhao Xuejun showing a naive smile from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know what was wrong, but his mood suddenly improved.

The old house will be demolished soon, and the farmer's market will be expanded to four times its previous size.During this time, Zhao Xuejun likes to go for a walk in the old house, sometimes he feels that the old house is more like an old friend.This old friend witnessed the children of the Zhao family being born one by one, and growing up one by one.Sometimes, the old house is also like an elder. It was tall at the beginning, and it will become shorter and shorter as the children grow up.Zhao Xuejun is reluctant to part with the old house...

Leaning on the roof of the old house, Zhao Xuejun looked at the round sunset that was slowly descending in the distance. Against the background of the faint fire clouds, the sunset was like a gem placed on a shelf, which was heartbreakingly beautiful.

"What's that?" Zhao Xuejun saw that Wang Xi took out a flat silver pewter pot from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and put it back in his pocket.

"Oh, wine." Wang Xi replied.

"Give me a drink."

"What kind of wine do you drink?"

Zhao Xuejun sat up suddenly: "Who do you say is a child?"

Wang Xi smiled, with a hint of compromise and perfunctory: "Yes, I am a child, I am a child, and you can't drink even if I am a child!"

Zhao Xuejun stretched out his hand, snatched the jug from his pocket, and played with it in his hand: "I don't want to drink, I've had enough diarrhea... Isn't this stuff a domestic craft?"

"Well, the Soviet Union. When they disintegrated last year, my uncle in my hometown took me there to do some business. I exchanged this flagon with a Soviet lieutenant for [-] catties of potatoes."

"Where are you selling things? Is it legal?" Zhao Xuejun couldn't help worrying.

"Don't worry, what is legal can no longer be legal. Don't talk about me, what do you think? Otherwise, you can go abroad. Uncle Chang's side is fine, and I can afford you. Besides, the company is also half of you, right?"

"Why should I go abroad? I can't understand the language, I can't get used to eating. Isn't the ultimate purpose of going abroad to live better? Am I living a bad life now? I only go abroad when I have nothing to do."

"Hey, why are you swearing so much these days?"

"...How do I know, the resistance period is over? Ah! Whatever, it's so annoying..."

Zhao Xuejun lay on the broken military overcoat he found in the old house, and stopped talking again.He knew exactly what was wrong with him.He stayed in the first level of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Along the way, he knew where he should go every day.Now that he has grown up, many things have happened. Apart from the major events that he knows that will never intersect with him, everything else in his life is unknown.He is upset now, but because...he doesn't know where to go.

After graduating, taking the entrance examination, stepping on the clouds, flying through the clouds, he was a little excited, but also a little more apprehensive about not being able to control his fate.It was only in [-]. In his previous life, because he peeked at the football team taking a bath and chased after Song Changan, he was forced to lose the most precious thing when he was a teenager, his simple heart of love.In this life, his heart is still in the same place, and he will not hand it over easily.

He looks forward to the city where he will go to school in the future. He hopes to make more friends and see more people he has never seen before.But even so, he was not satisfied and wanted more emotion.He likes Wang Xi, although he has not reached the liking of love, but... that is also a little ignorant.But what about Wang Xi?At best, they are still brothers now. Zhao Xuejun feels unwilling, but... what can he do?To piss off your father again?To turn this small city far away from the outside world upside down again?

"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Wang Xi touched Zhao Xuejun with his shoulder.

Zhao Xuejun suddenly turned over and hugged him, and put his head on his heart to listen.Wang Xi was startled and wanted to struggle, but Zhao Xuejun said, "Don't move!"

So, just like that, Wang Xi let Zhao Xuejun lean on his chest without moving, listening to his heartbeat.

"How strange, we are in the embryo, the heart is beating, and it keeps beating... It can beat until death, how tired it is! It will take many years to beat!"

Wang Xi laughed, stretched out his hand, and rubbed Zhao Xuejun's soft hair: "What are you thinking about? If you still have a sympathetic heart, let's live a heart. Xuejun... If you really don't do well in the exam, you can stay for a year. I raise you."

"You raise me?"

"Ok!"

"You don't marry a wife anymore?"

"I won't marry anymore!"

"Bullshit, Auntie won't kill you yet!"

"What does it have to do with my mother that I raise you? Does she want me to raise you? What's the difference between you and her son? You say strange things!"

Zhao Xuejun smiled, sat up, stood on the roof, stretched towards the distant sunset, patted his cheeks on both sides with his bow left and right, and said in a high voice with a trace of burnout or awakening: "Say It’s so far away! Life is growing! I, let’s rely on myself! Take care of yourself, earn more money, save it, and when I’m not happy, I’ll go find you and raise you... Now... I’m hungry, I’ll eat when I’m hungry, I’ll add a padded jacket to myself when it’s cold, and I’ll buy a straw hat for myself when it’s raining... let’s go... let’s go, go home! go home!”

Wang Xi watched Zhao Xuejun get off the roof neatly, what did he think he caught, and what didn't he catch?He touched his heart, and stood there with a strange expression, until Zhao Xuejun yelled in the small courtyard below, he responded and went down.

At night, Song Liaokuo came to Zhao's house for dinner. His wife was on a business trip, and his youngest son and daughter went to grandma's house for school. He was alone at home, and felt that the food was not delicious, so he often went to the old Zhao's house in the backyard for dinner.Zhao Xuejun and Wang Xi are still very close to Song Liaokuo. After all, in the municipal committee, Song Liaokuo and Zhao Jianguo have an ironclad relationship, and no one can break it.

Zhao Xuejun looked at the back kitchen and asked his father strangely: "Dad? Where's my mother?"

Zhao Jianguo's tone was a little sad and angry: "There is a quarrel!"

"Arguing again?" Zhao Xuejun was helpless.

Song Liaokuo smiled, unscrewed the lid of Fenjiu, and filled a glass for Zhao Jianguo: "Can oranges be controlled for what is bought in the mall? You should be responsible for cursing people, right? Why are you cursing oranges? She is just renting out a shop in the mall." Yes, I know that her shopping mall in the provincial capital has a good reputation for its quality. My daughter-in-law often takes relatives to buy it. The things there are really good. Oranges, you can be called a strong woman! You don’t hesitate Good luck!"

The grandma who was eating suddenly raised her head and said to Song Liaokuo: "Liaokuo! I'm dead, can you go? I have never been to the county magistrate in my village!"

Song Liaokuo was taken aback and laughed, "Ma'am, I'll go, how dare you not go!"

Grandma was satisfied, so she continued to eat, and said as she ate, "Gaixia, when are you going to make my birthday shoes? I want red ones."

Zhao Jianguo looked at the door of the house with a look of helplessness and undisguised regret.In recent years, many clothes and items have come from the south, and these items have a common feature, cheap!Dead cheap!A leather jacket that used to be very expensive sold for less than 80 yuan.A pair of shoes is less than ten yuan.Many shopping malls tried to sell such lucrative goods at a low price. In the beginning, these goods sold quickly, but after a while, the shoes fell off when they got wet, and the leather clothes fell off as soon as they were baked on the radiator. The dice became zebra clothes, and the quality of the various products was frighteningly inferior.People in Wanlin call these things paper clothes, paper shoes...

Zhao Jianguo has been upright all his life, and he hates deceiving the people the most. This is also the reason why he is not popular in the municipal committee.If there is a problem with urban construction and groundwater engineering, he will scold him. If he doesn't scold behind his back, he will scold your mother face to face!The Public Security Bureau is not good at handling cases, and he scolds people even if he is not directly under the leadership.He scolded Gao Juzi for selling counterfeit and shoddy products, even if it was his own wife, she couldn't let it go.

This meal, because Gao Juzi left in a fit of anger, he didn't eat happily. Zhao Xuejun ate early and took Wang Xi to Jinxin Market together.

In the middle of the night, the first floor of Sanxin Market was brightly lit. Opening the side door on one side, Zhao Xuejun and Wang Xi stood quietly on the side, watching Gao Juzi standing on a raised desk, raising a pair of Crayon Shin-chan’s eyebrows , staring at a meeting for all employees: "...do you think that the relationship between Sanxin Shopping Center and you is the relationship between lessors and chartered merchants? I advise you, if you have this idea, you should have a meeting with our shopping mall as soon as possible. Procedures, I, Gaojuzi, promise that I will refund you all the annual fees, and I will give you extra money! Double the money! When you leave, a lot of merchants want to come in with three times the rent.

If you rent a place in Sanxin Market, you must have the awareness to be a member of Sanxin Market.I don't care how much you earn, I will see such fake clothes again in the future!fake!I'm sorry, you've ruined my reputation as a high orange, and our Sanxin market brand!My high orange smashed your job!I am not the first to say this, but I believe that in the future there will be countless people telling you what a brand is and what is the life of an enterprise. I haven’t studied much..."

Zhao Xuejun and Wang Xi looked at each other and smiled, then quietly left the shopping mall, standing outside under the street lamp to wait for the oranges.Wang Xi sighed with a smile: "Aunt Juzi is really imposing, no worse than those bosses of foreign companies!"

Zhao Xuejun smiled at him: "What about the boss of a foreign company?"

Wang Xi thought for a while: "The boss of a foreign company... just like Aunt Orange."

"Then what are you like? Wang Xi, I've always been curious, really, tell me..." Zhao Xuejun leaned over with a curious expression on his face.

Wang Xi lit the cigarette, smoking in an indescribably mature manner, Zhao Xuejun looked at him without blinking.

"I was young and didn't study much. Fortunately, at that time... yes, Uncle Chang asked me to study at that time, but I was still unwilling. Only after I went there did I realize that the world is not what I thought it was at all.

I am in a factory, I dare not laugh, cry, say I am tired, dare not say I don’t understand, I deal with people who are more than 20 years older than me every day, I deal with those college students and technicians.Everyone is a book, you have to be down-to-earth, observe and learn seriously.I used to be ignorant, thinking that money is the biggest thing, and everything is a bastard in front of money, but then I realized that in this world, the rules are the biggest..." Wang Xi blew out smoke rings, turned to look at Zhao Xuejun: "You know what I'm talking about rules? "

Zhao Xuejun turned his face and snorted: "I don't understand, I'm a kid and I haven't even studied in university."

Wang Xi was so happy, he dropped the cigarette butt, patted him on the shoulder, and helped him straighten his shirt collar: "It's good, just live like this, be a simple soldier for the rest of your life, be happy, live like a child , To live my unfinished life as a child for a lifetime, that's enough."

Zhao Xuejun was stunned, and stared blankly at Wang Xi's mature face. He was only 22 years old, and his face was full of vicissitudes...!

Someone coughed at the street lamp. Zhao Xuejun turned his head and saw Zhao Jianguo strolling over with his hands behind his back. He waved his hands and said, "Go back, it's cold, I'll wait for your mother to get off work!"
