[Please answer 1988] Sangmundong scandal

1988 was a politically unstable year, with the rise of democratic movements across the country, and the atmosphere of white terror surrounded the whole of South Korea.

However, for most of the masses, life was calm after all, and the political turmoil did not affect their daily lives.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the summer heat faded a bit, and the breeze brought a little bit of coolness.

The three sisters in the alley were sitting around on the low chairs at the door again, chatting with each other about household chores, and occasionally chatting about some unspeakable nasty jokes.

Liu Mingxi used the afternoon to clean the house, especially her younger brother Liu Donglong's bedroom, which was so messy that it was impossible to see.

After packing two big bags of garbage, Liu Mingxi opened the door of his house and walked out. He happened to meet the three aunts who were chatting enthusiastically outside the door. He bent down and greeted them politely, "Auntie, good afternoon."

"Mingxi is home, when did you come back?" Paula's mother asked.

Liu Mingxi smiled and replied, "I only arrived in the afternoon."

"Good to go home, we haven't seen each other for so long, we Mingxi have become big girls."

"Mom and dad haven't come home yet, hey Yigu, you've worked hard."

"Your parents don't know how happy they are, the baby girl is finally home."

……

"Then I'll go back and get busy."

"go Go."

After Liu Mingxi returned home, the three aunts at the entrance of the alley were still talking about her affairs.

"I'm really envious. When will our Paula be as obedient as Mingxi?" When Paula's mother thought of her eldest daughter's temperament, her head was full of headaches.

"It's better to have a daughter." Zhengfeng's mother regretted not having a daughter.

"Mingxi is really speechless. Look at Donglong's parents. They are so busy with work every day. Isn't Donglong raised by Mingxi since he was a child..." Although good at mother, although her children are very filial, But this does not affect her evaluation of Liu Mingxi.Of course, the most important reason is that Liu Mingxi's culinary skills are excellent. On this point, it is worth adding points.

After returning home, Liu Mingxi put on his slippers and walked towards his bedroom.As soon as the bedroom door was pushed open, a wall of neatly arranged books came into view. The contents of the books covered a wide range of topics, ranging from astronomy and geography to common sense of life.

When he came to the desk, Liu Mingxi carried the previous luggage bag on the table. Under the zipper were all books and some unnamed file bags.

"5...1...8..." Facing the numbers, Liu Mingxi took out a document bag with the code number 518 in the corner, and untied the document bag. Inside was a newspaper. The text was carefully cut out and pasted on white paper .

Taking out a blank file bag from the drawer, Liu Mingxi put the newspaper cutouts in it.After finishing everything, she showed a satisfied smile.

……

At dinner time, there were figures of several children wandering in the alley, all of them carrying meals shared by each family.

Neighbors, neighbors, this probably means that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

"Deshan, wait a minute." Liu Mingxi left Cheng Deshan behind, quickly brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen, smiled and said, "Take this here, and, please tell Paula and me, I'll wait for her at the usual place on the stairs at eight o'clock in the evening."

"I've made a note, I'll leave then O'Neill." Cheng Deshan nodded, took the soup in her hand, and agreed.

"Go, thank you." Liu Mingxi watched Cheng Deshan leave with his own eyes, completely disappearing from her sight, and then turned back to the dining room.

On the other side, Cheng Deshan, who returned home, first explained the source of the soup, then his eyes fell on Cheng Baola who was eating rice at the table, and he put down the instruction just now, "Cheng Baola, Mingxi Ernie said I'll meet you at the usual place on the stairs at eight o'clock."

Cheng Baola's mouth twitched, and a strong roll of eyes was thrown away, "Cheng Deshan, you're tired of work, right? What are you calling me?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Deshan quickly took a few steps back, "O, O'Neill."

The daily fights and quarrels between the two sisters were staged again, and several people who watched also expressed that they were used to it.

After dinner, Cheng Baola left the bedroom she was thinking about, and arrived at the stairs of the alley before eight o'clock, watching a figure standing there from afar.

Liu Mingxi has arrived.

"Here we come." Liu Mingxi greeted her with a smile.

"...Didn't you really get it?" Cheng Baola's tone was somewhat uncertain.

Liu Mingxi just smiled softly, and took out the file bag behind him, "I thought you knew about me."

When Cheng Baola saw the document bag in her hand, she felt a "thump" in her heart, "Crazy, crazy, you are really crazy."

Liu Mingxi raised his eyebrows, and didn't object to what she said, and directly stuffed the file bag into her arms, "You brought it, give me one, I put my coat on."

"Cut...really." Although Cheng Baola's tone was somewhat disgusted, he still handed over the cigarettes in the bag.

"And this." Liu Mingxi touched the end of the cigarette between his fingers, which meant that the lighter would also come.

"Crazy woman..." Cheng Baola has always wondered why the nickname of crazy woman in Phoenix Hall fell on her, obviously Liu Mingxi is the one who is really crazy.

……

Cui Ze smelled a smell of smoke, a faint smell of cigarettes, he could often smell it when he was in the chess academy, so he could easily identify it.

At the corner of the alley, Cui Ze heard a familiar female voice.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I'll go to Seoul to have a look. It's good to join in the fun if I have nothing to do. If it's just in case, you say yes..."

Obviously, it was Liu Mingxi's voice.

Cui Ze carefully picked the corner of the wall, and glanced in the direction of their conversation.

In the dim night, surrounded by smog, her side face was faintly visible, with a smile on her lips. It was not the gentleness and carelessness of the day, but more indifference and unfamiliarity that he had never seen before.

Cui Ze stayed where he was.

"...I went back to sleep, sleepy." Liu Mingxi's biological clock was always on time, and he was almost sleepy at ten o'clock in the evening.

"I'm leaving too." Cheng Baola said and took a step forward.

Cui Ze came back to his senses, took a few steps back, rubbed his face vigorously, half-closed his eyes, and pretended to be drowsy.

He held his hand on the shoulder strap of the bag, lowered his head, moved slowly, and appeared in their line of sight with a calm expression.

Cheng Baola stopped, and looked at Liu Mingxi behind him, and they were silent with each other.

Liu Mingxi threw away the unfinished cigarette in her hand, took out a candy from her pocket, slowly stuffed it into her mouth, and stretched out her hand to pull the broken hair on both sides behind her ears. With a standard smile, she walked two or three times Step up to meet him, "Oh... isn't that Aze?"

Cui Ze half-knowingly stopped, his eyes seemed to be too sleepy to open, "... Ah, Mingxi Nuna, Paula Nuna, good evening."

Liu Mingxi smiled, and took his arm affectionately, "Did A Ze just come home from the Chess Academy?"

Cui Ze stiffened for a moment, squinted his eyes and nodded indiscriminately, "...um."

"Didn't you sleep?"

"I can sleep during the day tomorrow..."

……

At the entrance of the alley, Cui Ze and Liu Mingxi walked in front, and Cheng Baola followed behind them unhurriedly.
