Another day full of energy and getting up early.Wang Yan tidied up, stepped on a pair of pull-back sneakers, accompanied by the morning breeze, facing the rising sun, went out for a trot to exercise his body, and ran up Chang'an Avenue within a short distance.

It was only past five o'clock, but Chang'an Avenue was already very lively.Although there are not many cars, there are still many people riding bicycles.Now there are not many tall buildings on both sides of the road, and Chang'an Street is wide, and there are no filters for looking at old photos decades later, it feels very good.

In the eyes of people looking at the two idiots, Wang Yan ran upside down with his long legs, from Dongdan, through Tiananmen Square to Xidan, and ran the entire Chang'an Avenue.Then run back again, one back and forth, one more trip.The one-way trip is less than four kilometers, and the total is less than twelve kilometers.

I didn't go home after that, but went to Beihai Park, found an open space, stretched my arms and kicked my legs, twirled and jumped, and moved around.Fighting against the imagined self, his opponent is only himself.

After tossing like this for a long time, I went home at a normal speed.

When I got home, it was already past seven o'clock.It was the bustling time in the courtyard at this moment. A group of people had already got up and had a meal, packed up and went to work, and started a new day of work and life.

"Hey, Xiaoyan, are you going out for a run again? You kid, you don't get tired every day." Old Guotou pushed his bicycle out again, watching Wang Yan enter the courtyard to say hello.

"Exercising and exercising your body, eating delicious food, you'll look great." Wang Yan patted the tendon on his arm with a smile.

"It's still a young man with energy." Old Guo Tou clicked his tongue and said nothing more. He slumped his left foot on the pedal and swung the car forward. He waited for the car to slide steadily, and then stepped up with his other leg.Because Lao Guo has a short head, short body and short legs, he can't handle a [-] bicycle. It is inevitable to be a little funny from behind, but no one makes a joke, after all, many people don't have one yet.

Looking at the back of the man who was twisting his ass and pedaling the bicycle, Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked into the yard.

"Xiaoyan, I went out so early. I thought you hadn't woken up. I was about to greet you to go to work." Han Chunming's mother, Li Ping, was combing her hair in the yard.

"I went out for a couple of laps, but Chunming hasn't gotten up yet?"

"It's early, and it's okay to talk about it so early. Oh, you said that our five sons have been back for more than a month. Seeing that more and more educated youths are returning to the city, the streets can't be arranged at all. Xiaoyan , you know a lot of people, is there any way? No, you can go to work and ask the leaders of your factory?"

"Chunming told me last night, aunt, I really have nothing to do. Otherwise, you have been taking care of me all these years, and I don't need you to talk, I should find a way for Chunming myself."

Chunming's mother sighed, "This is really sad..."

Thinking about the elder sister who had just left and the two nieces coming over and scratching again, it would be even more worrying.

This is how it is these days, the material conditions in the city are much better, the life in the village is hard, life is difficult, and if there are relatives in the city, it is a must if you can get rich.Even if you know that people don't want to see you, you have to be cheeky, and there is no way.

"Don't worry, ma'am, if I really can't find a job after a while, I can take Chunming to do other things. I'm sure I won't be hungry, but I don't have the staff, and I can't afford the job given by our country."

"Then wait a little longer, you have to find something to do, you can't just stay like this every day."

Wang Yan smiled, washed his hands with tap water, rubbed his face, then opened the door and entered the house, took the leftover sorghum rice from last night, poured it into the water twice, and ate it clean with salty radish. , and brushed the dishes diligently, then went out to wash up again, changed into the blue overalls issued by the factory, locked the door and pedaled the bicycle to go to work.

Now is the time to rush to work in a serious manner. Chang'an Avenue is really lively. Looking around, except for a few cars and jeeps, basically all of them are riding bicycles.

The workers he mixed with in this era, no, it should be said that they were workers. The status of workers in this era was high and decent, not like a crop of leeks like later.

So he mixed among these workers who were rushing to work, and rode along Chang'an Avenue to Xidan, then went south through Xuanwumen, and soon arrived at the place where he worked, Yili Food Factory.

Enter through the gate, push the bicycle to the parking shed, lock the car, bypass the production workshop, and enter a three-story office building behind, and enter the innermost room.

As far as the eye can see, there are boards, screwdrivers and other tools, and two tables. There are also a bunch of tools in a mess on the table. Two middle-aged men are sitting by the table, each holding a large enamel jar , there is some chrysanthemum tea in it, add some high foam, take a sip and take a sip, and read the newspaper in your hand.

"You two came really early." Wang Yan greeted with a smile, and skillfully took out a pack of Hongtashan from his pocket to smoke for the two.

"Xiaoyan, I'm not criticizing you. Did you say that you are 23 this year? You earn 26 yuan a month, which is not a lot. But you can't just smoke and drink all day long. You are so old, you should find I'm looking for a wife, you can't do it like a moonshine, so how can there be a good girl who is willing to be with you."

"Isn't that right, Xiaoyan, you have to take care of yourself. You said that you are the eldest and you are the only one in the family, and your family depends on you to spread the branches and carry on the family. In this way, the two of us will ask you later and see Is there any good girl to introduce to you?"

Wang Yan took a match to light cigarettes for the two of them, lit one himself, shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I listen to you two talking about how the day is going, I don't want to get married and have children, and I don't even want to be with you. Like the two of you, it’s not good to eat or drink. How good I am now, I can eat and drink as much as I want every day, and I don’t treat myself badly, and I don’t have anything to worry about. This is a comfortable day.”

"You are still young, so there must be someone who knows what's cold and what's hot?"

"I know two more widows, so I'm afraid no one will know what's cold?"

"Go, hairy boy, you're thinking too much."

Wang Yan laughed, didn't answer, and took his own big pot to make some chrysanthemum tea. He sat at the table and pulled a newspaper. It looked like a buttoned mechanical book.

Yili Food Factory is very good. It was built in Shanghai in 50 and moved to Beijing in the early [-]s. It is a serious and time-honored brand.This factory has thousands of workers, several workshops, and produces several different types of bread, such as fruit, toast, vitamins, etc., which are welcomed by the masses and are very popular.

But it was the three of them who were in charge of equipment maintenance.Originally there were five of them, but one was the master who led Wang Yan before, and he retired when he was old, and never joined again, so there were only four.One of them didn't show up because he had an extra night shift last night. After all, the bakery equipment was not in use. In case of an accident, there should be an emergency repair so as not to delay production.

They are responsible for maintaining all the equipment in the factory, both domestically produced and imported.Proofers, dough mixers, egg beaters, and ovens, etc., are all they need to repair.

To be honest, the three of them are more like decorations.Of course, it’s not true that they can’t do anything. They can solve the conventional problems, and if they can’t solve some problems, they need to find someone from the equipment manufacturer, and they are also responsible for coordinating the problems in this area.However, it is impossible for all kinds of machines to break down without incident, and it is impossible to have such problems two or three times a month.Other times, I just drink tea and read newspapers with this.Otherwise, I just go to the activity room to play table tennis, which is very relaxing.

No accidents, today is also a free day, I only repaired a conveyor belt and put on some slippery agent.Except for going to the cafeteria to eat cabbage and potatoes at noon, and going to the toilet a few times in the middle, I basically didn't move the place this day, I just smoked and drank tea, it was too idle.

At five o'clock in the evening, Wang Yan, who had been drinking tea all day, stood up, didn't stay any longer, and went directly to the parking shed to ride his bicycle and leave.He was on the night shift the day before yesterday, and he hasn't been assigned yet.

Going back the same way, pedaling bicycles, there is the same crowd of people coming off work.Wang Yan wandered leisurely by the side of the road, trying not to block other people's racing cars.

There are always many coincidences in life. Wang Yan has experienced a lot of this and will continue to experience it.

Not far from Tiananmen Square, he saw a girl with two big braids and a dress walking on the road.Her footsteps were in a hurry, and occasionally her footsteps landed heavily, as if she was a little angry.The breeze was blowing, and the skirt was wrinkled, which was quite beautiful.

Wang Yan changed from sitting to standing, his feet were level, his knees were aggrieved, his waist and abdomen were strong, and his arms were stretched along the way. Only the two wheels of the sophomore and eighth were off the ground, and they jumped flat onto the sidewalk on a higher level.The cyclist behind was stunned.It's so fresh, it's the first time I've seen someone ride a bike like this.

Ignoring what other people thought, Wang Yan stepped up to the girl's side to slow down, and whistled frivolously.

"Wang Yan?" Su Meng, who was a little impatient at first, turned her head and saw Wang Yan, and suddenly changed her smile: "You just came home from get off work?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Isn't that obvious? Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go, of course I'm going home. I was going to take the bus back, but I found out that I lost my bag while waiting for the bus. It's not that I have no choice but to go back on my legs."

"It's still three miles away. It will be dark when you get home. Get in the car, and I'll take you back." Wang Yan rode the car onto the road again, and waved at Su Meng.

"Hey, thank you." Su Meng didn't refuse, she was sweating and wanted to die.Losing the bag again, and having to go so far to go home, no one can feel uncomfortable.If it were next month, I would feel abandoned by the world at that moment.

She walked over and jumped onto the back seat nimbly, reaching out to grab the corner of Wang Yan's waist clothes: "Sit tight, let's go."

Wang Yan didn't speak, just hummed, and pedaled vigorously to start. Su Meng was caught off guard, and was about to fall backwards due to inertia. She reached out to grab Wang Yan's waist in a panic, her face flushed, and the belt was driving smoothly. Only then did he let go.However, instead of grabbing the hem of the clothes as before, she held her waist with both hands, feeling the rhythm of the muscles around her waist, and her face turned even redder.

"Where did you get here?" Wang Yan's tone was very ordinary, as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't even know.

Mentioning this, Su Meng couldn't care less about the embarrassment, and walked this way by herself, seriously holding back her stomach.She said, "From Houhai."

"Hey, then you have to go a little bit now?"

"It's two o'clock. Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise, I guess I will be exhausted when I get home."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "What did Hai do after running away?"

"I made an appointment with my classmate to play over there. Who would have thought that the bag was lost while playing, what a bad luck." Su Meng began to complain about the loss of the bag, and chatted for a while. .

Wang Yan asked with a smile, "How is the work?"

"I want to go to the Children's Palace. My dad is looking for someone. It's been a long time, and I don't know if it's right or wrong." Su Meng didn't say much at work: "I found that you are different from what I imagined."

"I asked you to say that. We lived in the same courtyard since we were young. It's okay to be a childhood sweetheart, right? How could you still imagine it?"

"Don't be a childhood sweetheart, there is something wrong with your description. Although we grew up together in the same courtyard, we just met and said hello for so many years. You are a dragon who sees the beginning and the end, maybe the time is not right, and you can't move at all. It’s been a few months since I’ve seen each other. I was wondering yesterday, I’ve lived in the same hospital for so many years, and I’ve seen you so many times in the past month.”

Wang Yan nodded: "Then tell me how you imagined it, and how it's different."

"I know that others call you Lord, and Han Chunming has always called you that. When I was in school, those male classmates said that you are very powerful, you know a lot of people, and you often fight, so I have always been afraid of you. But recently I've seen a lot, and I found that you are not like they said, you are always smiling to everyone, you are very kind and easy to get along with."

"You look at people with colored glasses. You only hear that I do bad things, but you don't hear that I study well? Since elementary school, I have always been the first in the school. I have two shoulders and one head, two arms and two arms. Legs, what are you afraid of? Now it’s over, we’ve got to know each other again. There’s a hole in front, hold on tight. If it falls down and becomes disfigured, I won’t be able to explain it to Teacher Su later.”

Su Meng tightened her hands obediently, and walked over the pit, she relaxed and asked, "Hey, Wang Yan, can you tell me about the past?"

"What happened before? Who did I beat up, and who beat me up again? A girl in her 20s, listening to children fight? Is it interesting?"

Curling her lips, Su Meng didn't speak any more.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yan to be idle, so he was looking for something to chat with Su Meng, about what he learned from reading books.

There is only one girl like Su Meng in the old Su family, and Su Meng's parents are both teachers. Although the salary is not high, it is definitely not low.The old lady of the Su family was also an old teacher in the past, and she can be guaranteed after retirement. In this case, Su Meng is naturally loved.Otherwise, it would be impossible not to work, just stay at home, and the food, drink and clothing are not bad.I just stay at home and read books every day, and occasionally go out to play with my classmates, and I live very comfortably.

Such a girl, don't even think about it, she's just a bit of a literary and artistic young woman, and she needs to have a bit of a petty bourgeoisie feel.In fact, in the early stage of the play, she is indeed such a person.It's just that in the later stage, because of the reform, under the great vitality displayed by this country and this nation, she participated in the vigorous tide of diving into the sea, and she became obsessed with money, and she no longer looked like she did at the beginning.

So now Su Meng likes this kind of literary feeling.Do what you like, you can't go wrong.

The two chatted all the way, talking about the tragic or heroic stories in the books, and soon arrived at the non-staple food store on their street.

"Why did it stop? I'll be home in a while."

"I don't have anyone at home to cook for me. If I don't buy some vegetables, I don't even have Northwest Wind to drink at this time."

Su Meng giggled amusedly, got off the station and stood aside.But she laughed twice, watching Wang Yan park his bicycle and enter the grocery store, her smile disappeared.It was because of her that she remembered that Wang Yan had no relatives, so he lived by himself for so many years...

Non-staple food stores are a treasure. In this era, staple food and non-staple food are separated. They specialize in tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, beverages, biscuits, canned food, etc., and tickets are required.

Wang Yan bought a sausage, half of a pig's head, and two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.

"Come on, have a drink."

"Come on, it's quite expensive, it's worth saving a little."

"Did you open the lid before you saw it?" Wang Yan handed over the drink, then tied the pig's head to the handlebars, grabbed the head and went to the nearby supply and marketing agency to buy two cucumbers and six steamed buns. Standing at the door with Su Meng drinking soda, because the bottle has to be returned.

Su Meng drank Arctic Ocean and looked at the food tied to the handlebar: "Did you buy more than one yuan for these things?"

"Eat and drink well, anyway, it's just me, I can do whatever I feel comfortable with."

After a long silence, Su Meng asked, "Have you had a hard time these years?"

It was originally an act of prodigal family, but because Su Meng thought that Wang Yan was unaccompanied and alone, she naturally classified such behavior as having no support and no affiliation. is a day.

So her voice trembled slightly.With just one sentence, she has used the books she has read and the things she has heard in her mind to make up how an orphan with no relatives should live, both materially and spiritually.

"Is this pity for me?" Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing difficult. It's true that I didn't get used to it at first, but one has to look forward. You said it all, people call me Wang Ye, this Lord Is it for nothing? Don’t think too much about it. I just eat and drink like this simply because I’m alone and don’t need so many worries. And it’s just two days. The salary I just paid yesterday, one It’s only 30 days, if you eat better now, you’ll eat almost worse later on, it’s all work.”

Of course Su Meng didn't think it was true, she just thought that what she thought should be correct, she thought that what Wang Yan said was to comfort her.With her self, even if she thinks differently, she still uses her thoughts to bring in and feel.So the more she felt, the more she felt that Wang Yan was really miserable.

But she didn't say any more, and without revealing Wang Yan's scar, she raised her head and drank the soda, and handed the bottle to Wang Yan: "Okay, let's go back quickly after returning the bottle, you have a day's shift, and I left for a while On the way in the afternoon, I was very hungry. It’s not far away, so hurry home and have dinner.”

Wang Yan took the bottle, drank his own soda, turned around and went in to return the bottle, then got on the bike, took Su Meng and set off again, only a few hundred meters away to the canteen in front of the house.

I was seeing Cheng Jianjun coming out of the canteen with a drink: "Wang Yan, are you back from get off work? Hey, this food is good, it's pork head meat and white flour steamed buns. Su Meng? How did you get his car back?"

Wang Yan squinted his eyes, looked at Cheng Jianjun who had a small pit on his face, and plucked his ears: "What did you call me?"

Cheng Jianjun was shocked, and quickly laughed along with him: "My lord, I didn't pay attention just now, I didn't pay attention. Then what, I'll buy wine for my dad, and we'll have dinner now, I'll go back first."

After all, he didn't care about losing face in front of Su Meng, so he turned around and left.

He was a classmate with Han Chunming, and naturally he was also a classmate with Wang Yan, from childhood to most.Of course he knew how majestic Wang Yan was.It's just that we haven't seen each other for several years, and just now in front of Su Meng, his words were over his head.He knew that Wang Yan could fight, and he had no family members, so he was not afraid of anything, even if he was beaten, it would be no big deal.In comparison, running away now is obviously a good choice, and it is much better than being slapped in front of Su Meng.

Su Meng got out of the car and walked back beside Wang Yan: "This shows the power of your lord, Cheng Jianjun was scared away with just one look."

Wang Yan chuckled and ignored it. What's the point of scaring Cheng Jianjun?

He greeted: "The admiral is playing chess again, did you eat?"

At the old juncture, he stood up with a groan, and slapped the folding fan in his hand, and with his neatly combed white hair, let alone, he really looked so tall.He said: "Grandpa Admiral didn't take advantage of you brat. He prepared the food and drink and waited for you to come back. Hey, this is pork head meat mixed with cucumber? You little thief, you know I like this."

"Good guy, your admiral invites you to drink, and I, a junior, have to bring my own food?"

"Hey, respect the old and love the young, that's the reason."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I'll go back and tidy up, and I'll be here right away."

"Speedy, the admiral's grandpa is gluttonous." After speaking, he turned around and fanned the wind at the old moment, and strolled back to his small courtyard.

"What did Uncle Guan take advantage of?"

"Just the fan he took, which was given to him last night." Wang Yan pushed the bicycle: "Let's go, I asked again. Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"Well, I won't tell you this anymore. Thank you, a man as big as your lord, for bringing it back to me on a bicycle. Come back." After speaking, Su Meng turned around and trotted across the courtyard gate.

After passing the front yard, bypassing the moon gate on the east to the back yard, just after entering, I saw Cheng Jianjun coming out of the corner with wine.

Su Meng glared at him angrily: "What are you doing? Are you playing with this scare?"

"I'm just worried about you." Cheng Jianjun said anxiously, "You've missed us two years, and you still don't know what kind of virtue that Wang Yan in the front yard is. Little girl, he is not a good person. Stay away from him, and don't turn around and kill you. Let me tell you, it seems that their gang has killed someone. Besides, look at his virtue now? No Is it a worker who repairs equipment in a food factory? Returning to the prince.

Su Meng, listen to me, stay far away from him, he has no parents, no one to discipline him, if you really have troubles, you will have no worries, no worries, and no one will be found.This kind of person is too dangerous, I'm doing this for your own good. "

Su Meng looked at him suspiciously: "I really don't know so many things about him before, you are classmates, tell me about it?"

"No, why can't I explain it to you? Why do you talk to that kind of person? It's not a good thing. Sooner or later, you will be arrested and shot. Okay, I will tell you. The house is waiting for me to eat, go away what."

Seeing Cheng Jianjun turn around and trot into the house, Su Meng heaved a sigh of relief and returned home, she was really hungry.

"Hey, you kid, didn't you say you went to find your classmates? Why did you come back? We were so anxious, it's not worrying at such an advanced age."

"Don't mention it, Dad, Mom, Grandma, let me tell you, today is really unlucky..."
