Rebirth Delay

"Brother Yan," Xu Ze stood in front of a shelf of various oil drums, leaning on his chin and asked Shi Yan who was pushing the shopping cart, "What kind of oil is better to buy?"

Shi Yan scanned around, and his eyes paused when he saw a familiar word.

Xu Ze walked over with a smile and picked up a big bucket, "This one? I also think it's good. Rapeseed oil, it looks very healthy."

Time delay is funny, there are many places in life where Xu Ze takes care of him.Only cooking is like Xu Ze's Achilles' heel, and the things he cooks always look like dark cooking.

Just as he was about to tease a few words, a black figure suddenly flashed in Shi Yan's field of vision, and Shi Yan's brows frowned imperceptibly.

Xu Ze was still talking, seemingly unintentionally, "Brother Yan, when were you born?"

Shi Yan replied subconsciously, "July 7."

"Hey," Xu Ze was surprised, "I am also on the 12th, but it is December 12th."

Shi Yan was startled, and looked at Xu Ze in confusion.The two have lived together for ten years, and this is the first time Xu Ze told him about his birthday.

In the first three to five years, because life was not good, no one mentioned the birthday, because even if they thought about it, it didn't make much sense.In the next few years, Shi Yan also got used to ignoring that day every year. He thought that Xu Ze didn't remember his birthday, or that he hated the parents who gave him this birthday in his heart.

But this surprise and strangeness didn't last long, and he chased out of the supermarket.

"Brother Yan, brother Yan, where are you going?" Xu Ze called anxiously and worriedly from behind.

"You go home, I'll be right back." Shi Yan explained briefly, and then disappeared in the crowd.

**

The memories ended here with Xu Ze's uncomfortable groan|groan.

Shi Yan gently touched Xu Ze's stomach, "Ozawa?"

Xu Ze opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Shi Yan pointing out the window.

Xu Ze looked out along Shi Yan's fingers, and outside the window, the misty river was endless.In the dazzling sunset light, a small rainbow rises in the midst of the water vapor. At a glance, the river and the sky are all the same color, which is particularly magnificent.

After staring blankly for a while, Xu Ze realized that the long-distance bus he was sitting in was driving extremely smoothly on the river.Looking down, on a big platform, there are many, many big cars and small cars, all moving forward with them.

The air in the car was really turbid, Shi Yan wiped the sweat off Xu Ze's head, "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

"Okay." Xu Ze smiled for the first time since morning.

Shi Yan carried the small bag on his back, pulled Xu Ze off the long-distance bus, and walked to the platform.The platform is made of thick steel plates, and the walking is fairly stable, but slight bumps and shakes are unavoidable.The wind on the river was so strong that Xu Ze couldn't stand still, so he had to hug Shi Yan's arm tightly.

Shi Yan led him through the car and walked to the edge, where there were two huge oil drums.Looking from a distance, a towering and majestic bridge stands there, connecting the two banks.

Xu Ze followed Shi Yan's example, with his feet slightly spread apart, and as he swayed with the shaking of the platform, the dizziness subsided a lot.

The corners of his clothes were blown up by the wind in the river, Xu Ze asked curiously, "Brother, what is this?" He stomped his feet.

Shi Yan covered his ears, and changed positions with him to block the blowing wind, "It's a ferry. What you're standing on is a ship."

Xu Ze looked around the huge ship in surprise, but unfortunately he was blocked by heavy traffic and couldn't see the whole picture.

"It's so big!" Xu Ze exclaimed, "There are so many cars!"

Shi Yan nodded, "Everyone is like us, crossing the river."

He pointed to the bridge in the distance, "That's the Zhenhua Bridge, you can also pass over it."

Xu Ze squinted his eyes and tried to distinguish the vehicles on the bridge, but the water vapor on the river made him feel foggy and he couldn't see clearly.

Shi Yan pulled Xu Ze to the side of the ship, Xu Ze stood on tiptoe and looked under the bed, only then did he really feel like he was on the ship.The big iron plate cut through the river, and the gurgling waves scattered away. White foam rose into the sky, splashing people's heads and faces.

Standing for a long time, breathing fresh air.Shi Yan was worried that Xu Ze would get cold from the cold wind blowing for a long time, so he took Xu Ze into the car.It didn't take long before everyone who was walking on the ferry boarded.

A siren sounded ahead, and Shi Yan smiled, "After crossing the river, it's not far away."

"Yeah." Xu Ze's arms were still cold, and he nestled into Shi Yan's arms.

It was getting dark quickly in December, and when Shi Yan and Xu Ze got out of the car, the surrounding neon lights reflected the sky like daytime.

Xu Ze's eyes were blurred.

Time delay looks out from the coach station.He met six sons in Sunjia Village at the age of 15, and was brought to the county seat by He Tao in the county seat, and then moved to Xinhai City.

This long-distance bus station in the Canal District of Xinhai City was renovated six or seven years later and became a well-known passenger transportation center in Xinhai.The big red letters painted on one side of the wall were replaced by gold-plated signboards, and the entrance and exit were doubled.

Tan Qing has a group of subordinates who wander around here every now and then.

In other words, the land under his feet was already Tan Qing's territory.

Xinhai is a good place. It faces the sea in the east, and a river runs through it from east to west, directly flowing into the sea.Being close to the sea means that the fishery is developed and the sea transportation is convenient.And because of the influence of the southeast monsoon and the subtropical climate, it can be regarded as a land of fish and rice with good weather and good weather.

The so-called battleground for military strategists.

In just an area of ​​nearly 6500 square kilometers, forces from all parties and groups have been entrenched.When it comes to black, it is the first to count on the movement of literature.

But this is something that happened when Shi Yan was seventeen or eighteen years old. When Shi Yan was in his early twenties, the people above him were double-regulated, ghosts inside and thieves outside were repairing plank roads, and they were hiding in the dark.That is to say, overnight, Qingwenyun's army was defeated like a mountain, and the trees fell and the monkeys scattered.Correspondingly, Lu Ji rose from the ground, quickly controlled most of Xinhai with lightning speed, and became the new boss under the table.

In private, people who have something to do with the underworld call Lu Ji "Old Lu Gui".

After waiting for a while, a familiar figure came in front of them. "Ozawa, time delay."

Shi Yan and Xu Ze smiled slightly and walked over, "Uncle Guan."

"Hey," Guan Qiang felt a little silly, and smiled naively, snatched the big bag from Shi Yan's side and carried it on his shoulders, "Go, go to our house for dinner!"

The bus costs one yuan, and Xu Zeren doesn’t charge for it.

Comparing the buses in the village and the buses in Xinhai City, there is still a slight gap.There is more space in the car, and there is no such pungent gasoline smell.The driver didn't speak, but the people in the car were chattering loudly.

The ground is not very clean, but there are no dense melon seed shells.There is no spare plank, so if there are too many people, they can only stand holding the handrails.

The car drove more and more sideways, and the houses on both sides gradually became shorter from high-rise buildings, and finally there were only two or three-story small houses left.Guan Qiang didn’t speak much, but Shi Yan was somewhat familiar with Xinhai. Seeing that the places where tall buildings used to stand turned into small villages and farmlands, it felt strange for a while, as if history was constantly changing. Like backwards.

"Uncle," Shi Yan looked at Guan Qiang, "You live in Yanglin?"

Guan Qiang was a little surprised, "You know?"

Shi Yan smiled, "Wuxiang District of Xinhai City is the urban area, and Yanglin District is considered a suburb, but it is close to the urban area, so it is considered a suburb. Feiyun District is far away, next to Yizhou City. Chuangta District and Gaoming District Sandwiched between Wuxiang District and Feiyun District."

The astonishment on Guan Qiang's simple and honest face became more obvious, "You know so clearly?"

"I've seen the map." Time Delay passed vaguely, and said again, "Why do you want to go back to the county? After two years, Yanglin District will develop and become a new city center. People who live here are looking for jobs or sending their children. It is very convenient to go to school.”

Guan Qiang didn't quite believe it, "How do you know?"

Shi Yan choked, then laughed again, "I guess."

Guan Qiang chuckled, "You kid, you are quite funny. Yanglin District has always been considered the poorest district in Xinhai City. How can it be said to develop? Even if it develops, we are still outsiders, and we can stand here It's not bad."

This is true.

Discrimination against migrant workers in Xinhai City has always been serious.Later, when it was declared a national civilized city, this aspect was always a lame area.

"Then it's okay to wait for two years," Shi Yan tried to keep Guan Qiang in Xinhai City, "Let's go back after seeing it. Maybe Yanglin District will develop? At that time, a new economic zone may make money There are many places."

Guan Qiang shook his head and smiled, and didn't take it too seriously, and said in a helpless tone, "I can wait, but the child can't wait."

The delay was dumb.

That's right, the boss of the butler had always had two children before, a boy and a girl, and this year he added a little mouth waiting to be fed. So many children meant huge expenses.With Guan Qiang's simple personality, life in Xinhai City may be very stressful.

In contrast, the prices in the county are much lower, which is more suitable for him.

Or when Yanglin develops in the future, it will be the same if he is pulled to Xinhai.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Yan stopped persuading him.

Guan Qiang's wife was very enthusiastic and cooked a large table of dishes.The two children above looked at the meat on the table eagerly, and when she saw someone stretching out her hand, she mercilessly knocked down the chopsticks on the children's fingers, hitting the children and screaming.

But as soon as the table was served, the smiling aunt began to complain to Shi Yan, saying how hard it is to earn money in Xinhai City, how expensive the school tuition is, and how difficult it is for people here to get along. Finally, she asked the two of you What are you going to do?

Shi Yan knew it well, because he was afraid that he and Xiao Ze would come to their house.

Guan Qiang opened his mouth several times to interrupt his wife, but his wife stared back fiercely.

Sure enough, it takes complementary personalities to become a husband and wife.

Shi Yan tilted his head and looked at Xu Ze, um, he and Xiao Ze are complementary in character, right?
