This is July 1980, an ordinary day, whether as memory or reality. The coolness of North China has long passed, while the hot summer continues to expand.
Today's light summer!
In the county high school, the sky has been overcast for most of the day. As soon as the school bell rang, the big raindrops fell down with the students who ran out of the classroom, which caught them off guard.
At the door of the dormitory, Zheng Cheng is leaning against the door frame, holding a soy sauce bottle in his left hand and a stiff steamed bun in his right hand, looking at the stormy campus like a statue.
According to the force in his memory, he bit a steamed bun that was as smooth as eggshell and as hard as ceramic tile, and it slipped! The back teeth left marks on the tongue.
Zheng Cheng's tears came down at that time, which really hurt.
At this time, several students were running by, and muddy water was flying around with the soles of their feet. Zheng Cheng sighed and wiped the corners of his eyes with his greasy sleeve.
Who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing as rebirth just after a small meal of wine? Poor him, he has earned money all his life. How much money has he not spent?!
In the twinkling of an eye, Zheng Cheng could not help patting his head again. He was really unlucky. On second thought, he is more than thirty years younger. Even if he has more money, he will make a lot of money!
He bit off a piece of steamed bread and chewed it mechanically. Zheng Cheng pinched his thin arms and legs. For him, being sallow and emaciated is not only an idiom, but also an accurate description of him now.
It is not completely accurate to say that he is reborn to the past. Maybe his arrival has had an impact, and the world has also undergone some small changes. For example, the food in the canteen has changed from two cents to twenty-five cents forever! It's crazy! Fortunately, he didn't eat the canteen.
As for other things, Zheng Cheng's memory is somewhat vague, and I really don't know what's different.
Feeling the youth in his body, he almost burst into tears again. Before his rebirth, his mental and physical state was quite bad. Now he has the opportunity to come back, and his excitement is beyond words.
He was in a daze when a teenager, dressed in a snakeskin bag and carrying an enamel jar, rushed from the rain curtain kicking mud with water.
Seeing Zheng Cheng, the guy waved to him with a smile, "Get out of the way! I can't stop the car!"
Zheng Cheng moved knowingly and let the dormitory door go.
Teng Teng!
With a layer of moisture on his body and muddy water flying under his feet, the boy rushed into the dormitory and almost hit the wall on the other side before stopping.
"Li... Congcong, didn't you take the umbrella?" Zheng Cheng tried to ask.
He still has an impression on the young man, and asking this question is just a confirmation. Hmm, confirm the name.
"No, you forgot? It had already broken up!" The boy hung the snakeskin bag on the bedside and walked to the door. The rubber sole scraped mud on the doorframe.
He is a little shorter than Zheng Cheng, very strong, but his skin is white, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes are fairly straight. However, his temper doesn't match his appearance. He is hot tempered and likes to mix with a group of bad teenagers.
Li Congcong's father is a village secretary, and his uncle is in charge of the county supply and marketing cooperatives, so his family is much better than Zheng Cheng.
The two were not in the same village. They were classmates in junior high school and the only two who were admitted to the county high school at that time. Because of this connection and their congenial temper, they have always been very close, even going home together. It's fifty or sixty miles from the county seat to his home, and Zheng Cheng doesn't have a bicycle. Every time he goes home without Li Cong's bicycle, he may not be able to study in this high school.
Li Congcong is different from Zheng Cheng. He usually eats in the school canteen and often buys dishes with a little meat flower. More than one meter away, Zheng Cheng saw the dishes in his enamel jar, and fried meat with cabbage. He could not help swallowing and spitting.
"Here, did you forget to take your steamed buns?" Li Congcong handed over two steamed buns of coarse cereals.
Looking at the steamed buns that were still steaming, Zheng Cheng remembered that they could heat steamed buns in the school canteen. But he was so upset today that he forgot about it. Just now, he was eating cold steamed bread with himself.
Zheng Cheng took the steamed bun and finally got some appetite, so he took a big bite.
"Eat!?" Li Congcong handed Zheng Cheng the jar.
"Hmm." Zheng Cheng took his chopsticks out of the sauce bottle and casually put a piece of meat in his hand.
"Ha! How did you eat today?" Li Congcong looked at him curiously as if he had discovered a new land.
Zheng Cheng stopped half of the chopsticks and looked at Li Congcong. His face turned red. He just remembered that he really didn't eat Li Congcong's food before, not because he didn't want to, but because it was a matter of discretion.
Some of the peeling lip corners were picked, but Zheng Cheng still put the meat slices into his mouth, whatever! If he was the original self, he would definitely be embarrassed for a long time, but now he has the cheek to compare with the classroom wall.
However, after eating only one piece, Zheng Cheng stopped using chopsticks. It's polite to be pushed aside. If he doesn't know where to go, he will only damage the friendship.
After making another concession, Li Congcong broke the white flour steamed bread into pieces and mixed it with the vegetables.
"By the way, my cousin wants to see you tomorrow. She has something to do with you." Li Congcong suddenly said, his cheeks bulging.
They will have their summer vacation tomorrow, and Zheng Cheng has just learned that.
"Your cousin?" Zheng Cheng looked for the memory and remembered it quickly.
Li Congcong's cousin, Li Ying, is now an accountant in the county department store. Zheng Cheng has no relatives with her, so it's strange for her to call Zheng Cheng in the past. However, Li Congcong and Zheng Cheng both know what is going on, and most likely they are for Zheng Cheng's eldest brother.
With a sigh, the memory flashed in his mind like a slide, and Zheng Cheng was suddenly blocked.
There are three brothers and sisters in Zheng Cheng's family. He also has one brother and one sister. His brother Zheng Zhi and Li Ying were classmates in junior high school, and they were at the front and back tables.
Like many TV dramas, the two people have a good relationship with each other. As for the extent, Zheng Cheng does not know. However, these are of no use. The gap between family conditions is too big! How could it be that one is a cadre family in the county, and the other is a farmer who resists hoes?
Later, the result was exactly the same. They quarreled for a while, but finally they didn't get together. Li Ying's father knew about this at that time, and also found Zheng Cheng's family. Zheng Cheng's father was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days. Later, Li Ying's father found another family, and regardless of her daughter's protest, he hurried to marry her.
Hit by this, Zheng Cheng's eldest brother has been depressed for a long time, and the marriage has also been delayed to the twenties. In fact, it's not because of infatuation or anything. It's really that Li Ying's father is not authentic and has ruined his elder brother's reputation everywhere. What kind of snobbery, climbing branches, toads and the like, the villagers are so fond of gossiping, and the reputation will not look good once and again. In addition, their family was really difficult in those years, and even their excuses were lacking in confidence. Their reputation was not good, so marriage naturally became more problematic.
If Zheng Cheng had not graduated from college and worked, his family's economic conditions would have been better. It is impossible to say that his eldest brother would have been single. Because he was too old, his eldest brother was a tall, handsome man, but he married a man who was not happy.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Zheng Chengxin asked absently after three or two people sent the steamed bun to him.
"My uncle knows what happened to her and your brother!" Li Congcong replied in a muffled voice, stirring the steamed buns with chopsticks.
"What?" Zheng Cheng jumped. "How did he know?"
"Who knows? I went to his house for dinner yesterday and saw my uncle and my sister arguing there."
"So fast... the time is wrong!" Zheng Cheng muttered.
He clearly remembered that it was only in the first semester of his senior year, and it was only half a year away from here!
Needless to say, what is the butterfly effect? But, what kind of butterfly is he? Is it too powerful to flutter the fan?
With the rain falling from the eaves, the two washed their dishes and chopsticks, and each wore a snake skin bag and ran towards the classroom.
