Back to 1996

It was a two-day intense exam, and the teachers were very helpful. The results were out early in the morning on Monday. Shen Zexiu took a rare stroll around the bulletin board and saw Gu Yi's name on the top of the list. Picking her lips, she turned and went back to class!

This time, Gu Yi once again left a strong mark in the hearts of the teachers and students of No. 2 Middle School. After more than two months of school, he took sick leave for more than a month. There is still a gap of nearly [-]% between the midterm exam and No.[-]. , two points more than last time!So far, the position of No. [-] middle school bully has been established!

In the office, Teacher Ji stared at the ranking table with red eyes, but it was of no avail!

But at this time, someone still said: "Mr. Shi, I heard that this time No.1 is your Ban Guyi again?"

Shi Bo replied with a smile: "Yes, yes!"

"This kid is so good, he hasn't come for such a long time, and the curriculum is completely up to date!" Teacher Wu couldn't help but praise!

"I also said that it's because this child has a high self-consciousness. I heard that he reads at home when he is sick!" Shi Bo also praised repeatedly!

"You, you are not lucky. You encountered this situation when you first drove ducks to the shelves. Wait for the school's reward!" Teacher Wu joked with a smile.

"That's... I invite you to dinner then!" Shi Bo said with a smile, and then added: "The cafeteria!"

"Hahaha...you are the only one!" The office was full of laughter.

So far, Gu Yi's study career has started smoothly, and this time he is like a fish in water in the campus life!And the Hutong restaurant is booming because it employs professionals to manage it, coupled with the recipes in the hands of Master Yang, the business is also booming. A few days ago, Gu Yi heard Aunt Xiao and Master talking about the second branch.

After the final results came out a few days ago, Gu Yi's score was ranked first again!At first, I wanted to use this to win some privileges, but I fell ill the next day, with intermittent fever, which flared up in the evening and subsided during the day.

It's okay for him to feel uncomfortable, but he found that recently Master and Aunt Xiao were also worrying about his body, looking for Chinese medicine everywhere.

Gu Yi always felt that it was unnecessary, he just got a cold, took some medicine for a few days and passed, it would be much better today!

In winter in the imperial capital, thick snow has accumulated on the ground. Shen Zexiu has not been in the courtyard for a few days and was picked up by Uncle Xiao. The house seems much deserted. It is so cold outside that he does not want to go out, which will save his illness from recurring. Let everyone worry!

On the last day of the year before, Shen Zexiu was sent back, and Shen Moyan's research institute was finally on vacation. This was Gu Yi's first year in Shen's house.

After eating at noon, Shen Moyan started posting couplets in a daze. This was a rare sight for Gu Yi to see Shen Zexiu being summoned. He followed Uncle Shen with a bowl of rice porridge in one hand, and put the other hand in his coat pocket. There is no trace of impatience throughout the process, and occasionally decisive opinions are given.

In the kitchen, the voice of Xiao Zijun and old man Shen talking came out, most of the time it was the old man who said, listen to Xiao Zijun, the two of them are planning the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner together!

Only Gu Yi was not assigned any tasks because he recovered from a serious illness, and he was ordered to rest!

Finally, I couldn't bear the sleepiness and went back to my room to sleep.

In the kitchen, the old man glanced at the main room, saw no one, washed the handles, came to Gu Yi's bedroom, opened the door lightly, and saw that he was sleeping under the quilt, his cheeks were flushed!

He stretched out his hand to Gu Yi's forehead, luckily it didn't burn anymore, he heaved a sigh of relief, carefully tucked in the quilt, and walked out!

Xiao Zijun just met Xiao Zijun outside the door, and when she saw the old man's movements, she asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Mr. Shen nodded; "Sleeping! I didn't have a fever today, so I should be fine!"

"That's good!" Xiao Zijun said happily, "Sleep more now, so that you can keep vigil vigil at night!"

Mr. Shen nodded, and the two left together!

In the room, the corner of the mouth of the person who was supposed to be sleeping slowly curled up, turned over and continued to sleep!

……

Gu Yi was awakened by a chill, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Zexiu's magnified handsome face. Seeing him open his eyes, he said, "Are you awake? Get up then, and get ready for dinner!"

Gu Yiyi grasped the opponent's hands on his stomach and complained, "Ice is dead!"

Shen Zexiu smiled, handed over the clothes, watched him put them on slowly, without urging him, just stood aside and waited!

When the two came to the main room, the table was already full of delicacies, and Xiao Zijun and Shen Moyan were still carrying dishes out of the kitchen. Seeing him, they smiled and asked, "Did Xiaoyi sleep well?"

Gu Yi smiled and nodded.

"Did Aze mess with you?" Xiao Zijun continued to ask.

Gu Yi continued to nod, "His hands are so cold that he deliberately iced me!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zijun immediately glared at Shen Zexiu, "I'll deal with you in a few days!"

Shen Zexiu shrugged fearlessly, and when the person walked away, he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek. Gu Yi resisted to no avail, until someone came out of the kitchen again, and he was rescued!

After a while, the whole family was seated, and the big pendulum clock in the main room rang six times, heralding the official start of the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Little one, you got the first place in your grade again this time, do you want anything? Master rewards you!" Elder Shen asked aloud.

Gu Yi thought about it, and now it can't be better, sometimes he is afraid that this is a dream, and when he opens his eyes, he is still alone in the cramped attic, watching other people's excitement like a voyeur!

He shook his head and said with a smile: "I want everyone to be safe, and I want us to be together forever!"

Everyone laughed, Xiao Zijun said: "That doesn't count, of course we will always be together! Like what boys like mobile phones, game consoles, computers, watches, footballs, shoes...etc!"

Gu Yi understood what everyone meant, he thought about it for a while, but he really didn't feel interested!

"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass you!" The old man opened his mouth to save the situation, and then asked: "What about Ozawa?"

Shen Zexiu shook his head, "Not yet!"

The old man nodded, and the topic skipped.At the dinner table, they ate and talked about trivial matters, the arrangements from the first to the third year of junior high school, whether Shen Moyan would end his vacation early this year, when Xiao Zijun would resume work, and find a time to invite the juniors of the Xiao family to come and get together...

The meal was eaten for several hours, and then turned to the sofa.There were skits on the TV, comedians came on stage in turn, several people were amused, and the alley was silent. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala is better than all entertainment items!

They quietly watch the year, waiting for the arrival of 1997!

The moment the clock struck midnight, Tangtang became busy again. Xiao Zijun and Mr. Shen got up to order dumplings. The landline beside them kept ringing, and even Shen Zexiu's cell phone kept ringing!

Gu Yi ran to the kitchen, the dumplings were just out of the pot, the heat kept churning, and the round dumplings floated up, as if they were also rejoicing for the New Year!

He was watching intently, when Shen Zexiu's voice came from outside, as if even he had received a New Year's call, he ran out, and sure enough, the other party was waiting for him with a phone.After answering the phone, Jiang Sen's upright tone came from the other side, "Student Gu Yi, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, student Jiang Sen!" Gu Yi's unstoppable smile never disappeared from his face!

"Can I come and study with you after the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Sen continued.

Gu Yi: ... For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, just let yourself go, kid.

The silence was only for a short period of time. After half a year, the relationship between the two of them got along very well. Jiang Sen also closely followed his pace of study. This time, his ranking in the final exam increased by one place, becoming the fourth in the grade!

"Yes! But it will be after the fifth day!" Gu Yi agreed.

"Okay, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, the other side hung up neatly, and a busy tone came from the receiver.

Gu Yi laughed, this is only the New Year's Eve, so we can't have a normal New Year's greetings!

In fact, there were, but he didn't know that someone had automatically filtered Yang Qi'en's calls!

It only took a few minutes for the dumplings to be put into the pot. As soon as the phone was put down here, Xiao Zijun and Mr. Shen came out of the kitchen carrying two huge plates one after the other, and everyone gathered around the dining table again!

The first thing Mr. Shen did when he was seated was to take out two red envelopes of the same size from his pocket and hand them to his grandson and apprentice respectively, without moving his chopsticks!

"Come on, come on, this thing is indispensable, New Year's money! May our Xiaoyi and Xiaoze grow up safely!"

The old man started, and Xiao Zijun and Shen Moyan followed suit, taking out red envelopes as if by magic.Gu Yi suspected that they were all ready early in the morning, after all, they were not seen leaving the range of the main room and kitchen today!

The new year just started and Gu Yi received three red envelopes. He smiled like a contented cat and put the red envelopes into his pocket to thank him one by one!

There was an oolong in the dumpling eating session. The Shen family’s routine operation, in order to add some color, would put candies in several dumplings every year. This year, one even put silver coins in it. There is no movement on the table yet!

Gu Yi swallowed the sweet and greasy dumplings again in one gulp, turned his head to Shen Zexiu and said, "Do you think today's dumplings taste a bit strange!"

"En?" Shen Zexiu looked sideways at him, and then at the people on the table. Could it be that no one told him what is special about this dumpling!

"I've eaten four or five sweet ones in a row, and they're too bad. I just ate a hard one, and I just swallowed it!" Gu Yi mistakenly thought it was an adult's mistake, and he whispered to Shen Zexiu Whispering, I still find it funny when I say this, the dimples of laughter come out!

But after hearing these words, Shen Zexiu's hands paused, and he turned his head to stare at Gu Yi.

Putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Xiao Zijun and asked, "Is there any strange bonus added this year?"

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Zijun and Old Man Shen laughed, and asked, "Did Aze get it? Why are you so lucky that you won just one coin!"

coin? ? ?

Shen Zexiu: ...

Koichi:  …

"Swallowed by him!" Shen Zexiu pointed at Gu Yidao.

Several people were taken aback.Xiao Zijun quickly asked, "Did you really swallow it?"

Gu Yi nodded with difficulty.

"Do you...do you want to go to the hospital?" Xiao Zijun asked.

Over there, Shen Zexiu had already dialed the phone, briefly asked Bai Yi about the situation, and then said to the crowd: "It doesn't matter for now, eat more digestion aids recently, and you can pass them out!"

This reassured people.

After a heart-pounding dumpling meal, Xiao Zijun smiled and said, "Why didn't I get a single one! Why did I make five of them!"

"Me neither!" The old man put down his chopsticks and said.

Shen Moyan shook his head.

"One!" Shen Zexiu said.

Everyone looked at Gu Yi.

"In the new year, our junior one wants to be blessed by lucky stars!" Mr. Shen said cheerfully, the corners of his eyes became a little more wrinkled when he smiled!

After watching the New Year's Eve, the dumplings were eaten, it was already one o'clock in the morning, everyone went back to their rooms, and started to catch up on sleep!

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were no activities at the Shen family, except for a few children who came to pay New Year's greetings and beg for sweets.

Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, everyone drove to Xiao's house together.

This is the first time Gu Yi came here, although some people in the alley said that the Xiao family is very powerful, but he still couldn't react when the car drove into a manor villa.

In this day and age, there are many people in the countryside who can’t eat enough, reading has become a luxury, and patched clothes are people’s daily attire when they go out, but the imperial capital seems to be another place in a parallel time and space!

Surrounded by lush greenery, the car stopped in front of an iron gate. The people inside should have been prepared. The iron gate slowly opened. Shen Moyan drove forward, and a pair of elderly people greeted him in front of the three-story building. , standing behind them was a young man, the first time he saw him, Gu Yi thought he saw the grown-up Shen Zexiu!

They are so similar, with the same peach eyes, high nose, and even the arch of the eyebrows are exactly the same!

As soon as the car stopped, the three of them greeted them.

Mr. Shen took the lead to greet the new year, while Shen Zexiu and his son opened the trunk and began to carry things. Gu Yi also became a small porter. Except for Mr. Shen, the other four had their hands full of things.

Shen Zexiu shouted when he saw people: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, happy new year!"

"Hey, happy new year!" The three hurriedly responded, and then saw Gu Yi beside him.

Gu Yi was not timid, he laughed first when he saw people, followed Shen Zexiu to call people, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, happy new year!"

After entering the door, Gu Yi received three bulging red envelopes. He laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, so he packed them up properly!Before he had time to say anything more, Shen Zexiu carried him to the bedroom on the second floor.

The men were drinking tea in the living room, while Xiao Zijun and Mrs. Xiao came to the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit.

"Is this the child?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"Well, it's called Gu Yi!" Xiao Zijun replied.

"Looks like a sensible person! It's been so long, what is Ozawa's reaction?" I like children when I am old, but no matter how people are biased, my grandson must be the most important!

Xiao Zijun smiled, "Mom, didn't you see it? He is happy! Now he looks like an older brother!"

The old lady nodded, "That would be the best, I heard from your father, it's pitiful, Mr. Fu got in touch, but he's not in good health recently, he's not in the imperial capital!"

Hearing this Xiao Zijun cheered up, "We finally got in touch! It doesn't matter if the emperor is not here, I can take Xiaoyi there!"

The old lady sighed, "This is not easy to handle, let's wait a little longer, he is always in the imperial capital for two months a year, and then you will come to visit again!"

Seeing his mother's expression, Xiao Zijun knew that it might not be easy, so he could only give up temporarily!

As soon as Gu went upstairs, a world famous book was stuffed into his hands. The young master was sitting on the carpet playing online games, and had to be accompanied if he didn't go downstairs.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go down?" Gu Yi asked again.

Shen Zexiu helplessly stopped what he was doing, "What are you going to do, you are so embarrassed that you can't speak, but you still have to smile! If you don't want to smile in the future, don't laugh, it's so ugly!"

Koichi:  …

Bear boy, this is a matter of politeness, what does he know.

"Here!" Shen Zexiu handed over the gamepad in his hand, "It's really boring, try this!"

Gu Yi really closed the book, took it over and started playing!It wasn't until noon that Xiao Zijun came up to call for someone, and they didn't go downstairs.

A group of people ate around the table, and it must have been awkward, but fortunately, the seniors of the Xiao family were very kind, and the meal was enjoyable...

In the living room, everyone in the Shen family was sent away. Mr. Xiao sat in the living room and chattered with his wife: "This child looks very familiar!"

Mrs. Xiao handed over the tea cup and said: "It seems that I am not the only one who thinks this way. I seem to have seen that child's eyebrows somewhere!"

……

Leisure time is always short. At night, Gu Yi lay in the quilt and realized that Uncle Shen would return to work tomorrow, and they would return to school the day after tomorrow...

The spring sun warmed the winter snow, and the autumn wind blew away the scorching heat. In a blink of an eye, Gu Yi had already spent three birthdays with Master!

1996 has become a thing of the past, and the gears of fate have already deviated. Those fragments that have been experienced seem to be getting farther and farther away, becoming memories of the last century, but they will quietly enter the dreamland in a casual night, attacking his fragility line of defense.
