Dreaming back to the 90s to help my dad catch a rival in love

On the National Day of that year, Ning Xiaobei took Fan Xia and Chang Leyun to watch the fireworks at Ding's house, which can see the night view of Lujiazui, as agreed.

For their arrival, Ding's parents showed great welcome.The tour group that was originally to be taken on the National Day was also entrusted to the same company.

Ding's mother prepared dinner at home early in the morning, while Ding's father helped her in the kitchen.

The Sony speakers brought back from Japan played beaming music, and several children sat in the living room early, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock, and the fireworks filled the entire Huangpu River.

Ding Zheyang sat beside Ning Xiaobei, holding the prepared orange-flavored "Guozhen" drink in his hand, his face flushed slightly, as if he had drunk wine.

This is the first time he has grown up so many people of the same age have come to play at home.

When I lived with my grandma and grandma, this was something I couldn't even imagine.

Grandma is not bad, only Papa Ding is a son, and he loves his grandson very much.But grandma is not in good health, he can't live there all the time, he has to go to grandma's house almost every other month.

The condition of the old-fashioned alley where Ding Zheyang's grandmother lived was astonishingly poor, also known as "in the cage", and his grandmother's family were all squeezed into a two-story pavilion with only [-] square meters.

In addition to grandma and grandfather, there are uncles, aunts, cousins, and aunts who have divorced and moved back to their mother's house.

Plus him, exactly seven people.

When eating at night, he and his uncle and aunt ate standing up.Cousin and grandma sat on the bed and ate.

When sleeping, you need to put the dining table away and put it outside the door.He sleeps in the attic with his grandmother and cousin, his uncle and aunt sleep on the bed, and his aunt sleeps alone on a double sofa.The sofa is close to the edge of the bed, and sometimes my aunt kicks her ass in the middle of the night.

Life in the "cage" is horribly cramped. Men line up to go out to use the public toilet early in the morning, while women squat on the side of the road to collect tap water to clean the toilet.My aunt and aunt often quarreled over who used whose comb or who wore the wrong stockings.

Neighborhood relations are also tense, all gas and tap water are installed in the public area outside, in order to prevent others from stealing their own things.Every day after cooking, my aunt would lock the stove and faucet with a lock.But that's it, the neighbors still have various disputes.In the early years, I often broke my head for the lost briquettes and firewood.

Although thinking about this kind of life in the future, you may miss all kinds of fireworks and human relationships, but in the eyes of the young and sensitive Ding Zheyang, it is really too scary.

And he knew that his uncle and aunt didn't like him, and he couldn't figure out how he, a child of a married daughter, had the face to come back and live with them.

If it weren't for his mother sending thousands of dollars back to grandma for expenses every month, they wouldn't have any kindness towards him at all.His cousin, who is only one year younger than him, often bullies him and takes away the snacks and toys his mother sent him from Japan.

It is impossible to bring classmates back to play in such an environment, let alone...don't mention that he has no friends since he was a child.

There is no shortage of bad boys like Geng Enhua anywhere, this is the case in No. [-] Middle School, which is the key city, and there are even more of them in No. [-] Primary School of ordinary elementary schools.

Although Ding Zheyang is dependent on others, he has no shortage of pocket money and is often harassed by the "bad boys" in the school.He didn't dare to tell the teacher. If he told the teacher, he would definitely be asked to invite his parents. By then, the whole class would know that he was a poor little guy living in a relative's house.

However, he is smart and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so he ran to the teacher's office after class to avoid blackmail from those people.

After going back and forth, rumors spread that he was a sycophant for some reason.

After entering junior high school, his parents returned to China, and Ding Zheyang also moved into the newly bought big house, but he still couldn't see his parents, and Ding Zheyang became more and more lonely.

Not long after the preparatory class started, Ding Zheyang became the target of extortion by Geng Enhua and his so-called "brothers" because he was wearing a limited edition "Casio" electronic watch.

With Yan Bingru's protection, Geng Enhua didn't dare to do anything to him in the school, but after Teacher Yan was reported by his father and suspended, and finally his teaching salary was revoked, Geng Enhua became more and more unscrupulous in attacking him.

His parents were completely ignorant of these things, and he didn't want them to know.

Grandma told herself that the reason why mom and dad worked so hard in Japan, and opened a travel agency, was to give Yang Yang a better life.He had no choice but to keep silent.

Not long after his mother returned to China, she took his hand and asked him if he got along well with his classmates at school, and if he had any special "good friends", Ning Xiaobei's face immediately jumped into his mind inside.

The smart Ning Xiaobei, the excellent Ning Xiaobei, the Ning Xiaobei everyone loves...

In the past, he has been standing on the seat of "No.2", watching his back.

He is No.1, he is No.2, obviously they should be the closest two people, but Ning Xiaobei never sees himself in his eyes.

And that little black skin, who was so dark and had poor academic performance, dared to pass so many people, sat beside the noble "prince", hooked his shoulders, chatted and laughed with him.

He wanted to say, Ning Xiaobei, look at me, look at me.

Ning Xiaobei didn't look at him, but took Fan Xia to No. [-] Middle School together.

He used to think that only he and Ning Xiaobei were eligible to enter No. [-] Middle School in the entire Si Xiao Li.He never thought that Fan Xia, the monkey who wore the same clothes as Hong Kong gangsters on the first day of school, could do it too.

why?

He was puzzled.

Then I figured it out,

Because of Ning Xiaobei.

He is Ning Xiaobei's friend.

Ning Xiaobei treats his friends very well. At first, he was Fan Xia, and later he joined his deskmate Lin Ziying. Even Chang Leyun from the second class became a member of his small group.

They went to and from school together, did their homework together, and I heard that they even stayed together during the winter and summer vacations, so they all became good students and good children.

Unlike myself, like a bedbug in the gutter, only one person deserves to rot and stink.

"Yangyang, who is your best friend?"

Mom asked.

"Ning Xiaobei..."

He answered almost without hesitation.

If he also became Ning Xiaobei's good friend, he would be able to join them.

They can become better together, cheerful like Fan Xia, and all the teachers like him.As versatile as Chang Leyun, the girls are both jealous and envious of her.

But Ning Xiaobei, why don't you look at me more, I want to be your friend, Ning Xiaobei...

Then, his most embarrassing scene was seen by the "god" in his heart.

The moment he rushed out of the carport, he felt his heart was hollowed out.

The cold wind blew into the empty chest, spreading his narrow and vicious thoughts under the autumn sun.

He couldn't imagine how Ning Xiaobei would imagine himself after learning that he had done such a thing to his classmates.

He felt disgusted, dirty, and wished he could disappear into the world immediately.

Who knew that he would sit beside him today and watch the fireworks with him?

His elbow accidentally touched the arm of the person next to him. Ding Zheyang was so frightened that he almost jumped up to say sorry, but the other person just raised his head and smiled back.

"Thank you today. You can't see fireworks in Gonggong Xincun. Every year we have to take a bus to Nanjing Road, and then go to the Bund to see it. There are so many people there. I don't know whether to see the people or the fireworks."

The crowd is not the scariest thing, the terrible thing is that the public toilets along the way are overcrowded.

Last year's National Day, the three of them went shopping together to watch the lanterns. They had already reached the Bund, but Fan Xia suddenly had a stomachache and wanted to go to the bathroom.At this time, the road was full of crowds, all the public toilets were full, and even the door of the temporary toilet was full of people, so I had no choice but to go back the same way.

Pushing through the crowds from the Bund and walking back for three stops, the six people looked like exiles, sweating profusely from each walk, finally Zhao Jingwen finally found a KFC with a toilet, and rushed in with Fan Xia.After he finished relieving himself, no one had the strength to go back.

Ning Jianguo simply bought two family barrels, and everyone went home after eating.

Not to mention watching, I didn't hear the sound of fireworks, I was really depressed.

This year is different. The window of Ding’s house is simply a VIP viewing seat. Eating foreign dishes prepared by Ding’s mother, drinking Guozhen, listening to music and waiting for the fireworks to rise here is simply a supreme enjoyment. It is not inferior to him watching the sunrise on the top floor of Portman with the convenience of a business trip in the future.

And as far as he knows, this old-fashioned apartment will become a check-in spot for well-known Internet celebrities in Shanghai in the future. In order to photograph the carved stairs and unique geometrically decorated corridors inside, countless Internet celebrities flocked to it, and residents complained to the TV station several times.

I can enjoy the experience of "seeing millions of beautiful scenery directly" 20 years in advance, which is really a bargain.

"If you like, you can come every year..."

Ding Zheyang looked at the window directly opposite and said happily.

"Wow, I'm not being rude when you say that."

Ning Xiaobei joked.

"I mean it, you can come every day."

Ding Zheyang nodded hurriedly, afraid that Ning Xiaobei would not believe it.

He didn't like this window very much before, as long as he got home, he couldn't wait to draw the curtains.

The brighter the neon outside the window and the brighter the lights, the more lonely he felt, even the shadow falling on the floor was rendered lonely and sad.

He drew the curtains, took the small bench, and sat by the door, listening to the sounds of the people around him.

Although the sound insulation of the old house is very good, but sitting at the door, you can still hear various voices representing popularity in the corridor.

The leather shoes coming and going landed in the corridor made of small black and white tiles, making a "tick, tick, tick" sound.A woman's leather shoes should be heard clearly by a man's voice, and if a child runs past, it will be accompanied by screams.

After a while, the sound of leather shoes gradually decreased, and the voice from the elevator gradually came over.The sound of steel cables sliding, the iron fence being opened and closed, and when it is closed, there will be a "bang".

At this time, he would tuck his head into his knees in fear, lest a woman who looked like a female ghost would appear outside the door in a second and pull the door of his house open.

It was late at night, and the whole building gradually became quiet.

He went into the kitchen, boiled water, and made instant noodles.After eating the noodles, he cautiously walked out of the house and went downstairs to take out the trash.

The lights in the corridor were very dim, and the one in the stairwell was even more obscure. The boy ran downstairs in a hurry, and turned back in a hurry.

He was afraid of the building, the elevators, the stairs, and the elevator attendant.

He felt that this gray building was a terrifying "Magic Cube Building", and the window facing the neon lights was the real entrance of the building.

I never thought that one day I would sit here so happily, not only my mother and father are at home, but also so many friends around me.

Holding the cup in both hands, Ding Zheyang sniffed softly, his eyes behind the lens were teary.

"Fan Xia, what are you doing? Don't throw the bones you eat at me."

As Chang Leyun said, he threw the bones of the chicken wings into the ossuary in front of Fan Xia.

Chang Leyun had been with the two of them for a long time, and gradually revealed her true nature, often grinning at Fan Xia.Ning Xiaobei later found out that when she first came to Ning's house as a guest, her weak appearance was half embarrassment and half faking.

"Women are really troublesome."

Fan Xia snorted and continued to gnaw on the chicken wings.

"puff……"

Thinking that after more than 20 years, the two people in front of him were still in love, Ning Xiaobei didn't know why he felt so happy all of a sudden, they were simply a pair of "happy lovers".

But when he thought of the two of them not being able to be together in the end, Ning Xiaobei felt regretful in his heart, but with a hint of rejoicing, but what was he rejoicing for...

Inexplicable emotions lingered in Ning Xiaobei's heart, he frowned unconsciously, and didn't even notice that Ding Zheyang was also staring at him blankly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise exploded from behind Fan Xia, making Ding Zheyang shrink back in fright.Turning around, I saw a huge red firework with gold rims rising from the Oriental Pearl TV station across the river.

"It's started, the fireworks show has begun."

Ning Xiaobei put down his chopsticks, turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Papa Yangyang, Mama Yangyang, don't be busy, come out and watch the fireworks."

"coming."

After serving the last two big dishes on the table, Ding Zheyang's parents sat down on both sides of the table.Yangyang's father was in high spirits, and opened a bottle of Japanese sake to fill himself and his wife.

"boom!"

"Pong!"

Fireworks rose one after another, red, yellow, gold, purple, blue, silver.Like a fire dragon spitting beads, like a Cymbidium blooming, like a swimming dragon dancing wildly, like a goddess holding a colorful practice, with the night sky of Lujiazui as the curtain, it constantly transforms into colorful and colorful flowers.

However, all of this is just the beginning. Under the surprised eyes of the children, the two balls on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower also began to "spit" out golden and silver fireworks. In conjunction with the lights of the TV station itself, the sky is like "catkins flying to the left". The ground is white", and the body of the tower is "peach blossoms are full of red".

"Wow, fireworks are going off on the roofs of those back houses too."

Fan Xia couldn't even eat, put his hands on the window sill, and pointed at the buildings on the opposite side of the river bank.

The clusters of stars were brilliant one after another, and the Xuanxuan was soaring like flowers and brocades. Several children couldn't help applauding, and cheers kept coming from the windows of the surrounding people.

Lower your head, red flags are flying everywhere on the street, children are waving small national flags to chase and fight, and the older ones are holding various inflatable toys. Everyone is laughing and making noise, and there is a sea of ​​joy everywhere.

Three quarters of an hour later, the last firework went out, and the grand banquet finally came to an end.

Fan Xia turned his head and saw Ding Zheyang standing close to Ning Xiaobei, he hurriedly took two steps back, pushed him away, took Xiaobei's arm and said, "Boss, it would be great if there were fireworks every day."

"Stupid words, let it go every day, no money required."

Ning Xiaobei patted him with a smile.

Ding Zheyang looked at the interaction between the two of them, and from nowhere, he developed incomparable courage. He walked to the other side of Ning Xiaobei, took his arm and smiled, "Xiaobei, can we still play together during the winter vacation?"

"what?"

Ning Xiaobei didn't arrive first, he would say that, but he was stunned.

"Yes, Xiaobei, Xiaoxia, go home and tell your lord that when the weather gets cold, uncles and aunts will take you to Nanjing to soak in hot springs."

Ding Zheyang's father, Ding Kai, just drank two more glasses, his face was flushed, he smiled and said to Ning Xiaobei and the others, "Yangyang's mother and I haven't had a good rest for many years. The best time for us to do tourism business."

"This year we plan to take a vacation for ourselves, take Yangyang with us, and drive around by ourselves. A minibus can accommodate many people, so go too, bring your parents, and have fun together."

Ding Zheyang's mother smiled and put a piece of chicken popcorn in Xiaobei's bowl.

It is rare for the son to make friends, and they are very happy today.

The couple have actually noticed that since they moved into their new home, their son's psychology seems to be a little bit wrong, but they are too busy with work and have no time to take good care of him.

The new homeroom teacher, Teacher Sui, is young but very responsible, completely different from the original Yan Bingru who only wants money.

At the end of last month, Teacher Sui had an interview with them. He said that he had noticed that Ding Zheyang had become more silent recently, and asked him why he remained silent. Perhaps that was the main reason for his decline in academic performance.

Teacher Sui also said that children at this age are very sensitive, so they should not tell their son about the meeting today. It is best to find a way to encourage Ding Zheyang to socialize more with his classmates, so that he will gradually become cheerful.If you just let it go, your grades will regress or the next thing, maybe something big will happen.

When the couple was working in Japan, they often read on the news about various cases caused by their children being bullied at school.After learning from the pain, he decided to give his son warmth and help him make friends with his classmates, especially with a "good boy" like Ning Xiaobei.

What's more...Chen Lili looked at Xiao Heipi who was holding on to Ning Xiaobei's shoulders, bowed her head and smiled slightly.

This little classmate named Fan Xia, whose uncle is a "celebrity" in the clothing market, is very good at doing business and has a quick mind.If we can cooperate with him, maybe we can take our business to a higher level.

After eating and drinking enough, and admiring the fireworks, the children said goodbye to the Ding family's parents and prepared to go home.

"Goodbye Xiaobei, goodbye everyone..."

Ding Zheyang sent them all the way to the station, until the red taillights of the bus disappeared, and then he reluctantly turned and went home.

He walked into the main hall on the first floor and was about to turn to the stairwell when he suddenly heard a "ding".

He looked down at his watch and found that it was nearly 09:30 in the evening. It stands to reason that the "ghost" driving the elevator had already left work at this time, and the elevator room should be locked.

"Tap, tap, tap," the sound of women's high-heeled leather shoes landing and the sound of men's leather shoes came from the elevator.

Ding Zheyang plucked up his courage and looked over there, only to see a man and a woman walking over arm in arm.

The man's face is very strange, he should not be a resident of their building.

As for the woman, she was wearing a beige lace dress, neither fat nor thin, her black hair was tied up with a blue rubber band, her face was slightly rouged, and her eyes were not too big, but full of love. Looking at the side profile of the man who was a head taller than her—isn't this the "female ghost" who usually hides in the elevator hall without saying a word, with disheveled hair?

"Yangyang, why don't you go home so late?"

The "female ghost" took the initiative to wave at him, which startled Ding Zheyang.

"This is Yang Yang who lives on the third floor. He's a student of No. [-] Middle School, isn't it awesome?"

The "female ghost" giggled.

"Hello, kid. Your sister secretly took me up to watch the fireworks, don't tell others."

Combing the most popular among young people nowadays, imitating Aaron Kwok's mid-part hairstyle, the man joked with Ding Zheyang.

"Thirteen o'clock, talk to children about this! I hate..."

The "female ghost" sister said, with a coquettish sound, she slammed the man's chest gently.

Seeing the backs of the two people leaving happily, it took Ding Zheyang a long time to come back to his senses.

It turns out that she is not a "female ghost". It turns out that she can talk, and she has a boyfriend who likes to joke. The two of them sneaked to the roof to watch the fireworks today.

"Haha, hahaha..."

Ding Zheyang stood there and couldn't help laughing.

Walking into the stairwell, passing the half-peeled wall panel again, he stopped, looked at the exposed gray wall inside, shook his head fearlessly, and walked unhurriedly to the house on the third floor. direction.

The author has something to say:

The catkins are flying and the ground is white, and the peach blossoms are full of red - Zhao Mengfu's "Gift to the Fireworkers"

I decided to let go of adult love first, and deal with Ding Zheyang first, then go back and talk about it.

Ning Jianguo was able to come back to life almost when he was in high school.
