Chapter 197 Childhood Memories

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi followed Mei Fang to Mei Fang's ancestral house hand in hand.

The ancestral house of Mei Fang's family is actually located in the downtown area of ​​Zhengjie, Baimei County. In addition to many shops in the commercial area, there are many low-rise buildings in that area. The ancestral house is among these buildings, in a relatively remote small alley.

In his previous life, Mei Lijun did not continue to be a civil servant, but chose to go into business, and ended up doing business at a loss and did not make any money;

After that, the Mei Fang family sold the new house in the community and moved to live in the ancestral house where the transportation is more convenient. This is also the place where Mei Fang stayed the longest in his student days in the previous life, so there will be different emotion.

Mei Fang led Xia Yuan Youxi to this small alley. Due to the gradual progress of the demolition and reconstruction plan, several small buildings nearby have now been turned into ruins, and the three of them moved forward among the rubble.

"Here, this is my hometown."

"Wow, Afang, your ancestral house is not very small, it feels larger than my house." Xia Yuan said in surprise, "I thought it would be that kind of tiled house."

Mei Fang’s hometown is said to be an ancestral house, but it is actually a remodeled old house of Mei Fang’s grandfather before his death. It is a small three-story building with its own yard.

Lin Youxi also observed the distant view of the ancestral house, "However, the nearby houses are relatively crowded, and the lighting may not be very good..."

The two girls took Mei Fang's homework and read it.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I've figured it out now, no matter how close friends are, we can't say that all secrets must be shared with each other..."

"That's not the same age...the roller coaster must be played by kindergarten."

"I want to see it too." Lin Youxi nodded.

"I remember being about two or three years old. After all, my grandparents are still there."

"Well... yes, yes... let's look at other things..."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Afang could write a lot of characters when he was a child, and the writing was beautiful. Everyone was crooked at that time. When I was a Chinese class representative, I was very jealous of Afang. I was afraid that Afang would follow him. I'm running for the position of class representative."

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi followed Mei Fang to one of the utility rooms, where all kinds of dusty sundries were piled up. Xia Yuan saw a dilapidated baby walker at a glance. He quickly ran over and squatted down to look at it, then turned his head to look at Mei Fang:

"This thing is so nostalgic. I remember I used this kind of baby walker when I was young. At Xiaoya's age, it seems that this kind of baby walker is not popular anymore. They play with that kind of slide car more."

"You always have to attend cram school or learn piano on weekends. I often go to Afang's house to play computer games, and Afang will teach me how to play patiently."

This kind of walker is to put the baby in the car, and there is a bib at the bottom so that he can maintain a standing and forward posture, and will not fall when walking in the walker.

"Afang, do you know what this disc is? It's labeled [Childhood Memories], and there are some inexplicable numbers written on the disc inside."

He also knew that his family had no money or power, and couldn't stand his troubles at all, so he never dared to stand up for others, and silently endured some grievances or unfair treatment.

"I'll take it down and show you guys..."

"Why is Jiji still outside..."

As soon as Lin Youxi finished speaking, Xia Yuan subconsciously hid behind Mei Fang, "Don't scare me, Youxi!"

"It's okay, I have a secret to keep from you too."

Lin Youxi tilted her head and thought, "I remember I was so scared to death at that time, I was so afraid that you would break up with me because of this matter, and if I broke up with me, I wouldn't be able to go to Afang's house to play."

"These are the texts we used in elementary school... and Afang's homework."

Xia Yuan said excitedly, "Since it is such a precious childhood memory, let me take a good look at it!"

To make up for the small regrets of the past like this, in fact, it happened many times in Mei Fang’s childhood, for example, he bravely stopped the boys who jumped in line, prevented the senior pupils from begging for pocket money from the junior pupils, and felt that the teacher was eccentric and he would also Raise your hand and wait...

"Well... Then, you must have a secret from me now, right?"

There are many things that Mei Fang didn't dare to do when he was young and had little knowledge in his previous life. Now Mei Fang doesn't have any psychological burden.

At this time, Lin Youxi's eyes fell on a small cardboard box, and she took out a thick stack of books from the cardboard box.

"Afang seems to be different from ordinary boys since he was very young. Whether it's how he treats people and things, or the handwriting and style of writing in his homework, he always feels like a little adult..."

Mei Fang took the key and opened the door of the hut. The interior decoration is not quaint, but it has a sense of old-fashioned decoration style at the beginning of the century.

"Wow...really..."

Lin Youxi's focus is always different, "Fang, why are you still wearing crotch pants at the age of 2?"

While Mei Fang was feeling emotional, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi rummaged through the box and found a set of CD boxes. There were many CDs in the CD box, but there were no stamps on the CDs, like burning CDs.

"I don't remember this...but it's all here, it must be."

Like in his previous life, he had a certain degree of low self-esteem because of his family's debts. His mother always advised Mei Fang not to cause trouble outside, but to be honest and abide by the rules.

"Don't stare at strange places, you guys!"

"Speaking of which, you two secretly played games behind my back at that time. You should have been playing for many years, right?"

"If you are angry, you will be angry, but it will not be to the point of breaking up friendship."

"So there are still times when you are jealous of me..."

"This chariot, is it A Fang that you used when you were young?"

These are the things he used to read when he was absent from class or after class in the era when there were no smartphones. It also helped Mei Fang gradually recall the trend of that era. It is very interesting to look back now.

"That's right, that's why I liked playing with Afang when I was a child. Don't you, Youxi, do the same?"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "I like playing with A Fang because A Fang is willing to play with me."

Xia Yuan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard the words, and Lin Youxi's aura-filled gaze made her feel a little overwhelmed, "Uh... well... I can't say that there is no... but anyway..."

As soon as Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi entered the room, they were attracted by the group photo directly above the living room.

"It feels like exploring in a haunted house."

Xia Yuan muttered, "You two have kept a secret from me for four years. If it happened now, I would definitely be very angry."

"Is this on the wall a family portrait of Ah Fang when he was a child? Where is Ah Fang?"

In her previous life, Mei Fang could only borrow from her classmates or go to the bookstore to rent magazines of a certain period, or some novels of a certain period. After she has money in this life, the things that Mei Fang wants to read are not available in one issue. After falling, the endings and opening chapters of many stories that have been entangled in childhood have all been fulfilled.

Mei Fang gently pushed open the iron gate of the yard, and the rusty iron gate, which had been in disrepair for a long time, made the sound of branches.

Mei Ya was not yet born at this time, and her cousin Xiao Mei Yue, who was about 9 or 10 years old, was standing beside her grandma, holding by her hand the little Mei Fang who was sitting in her arms.

Lin Youxi patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder to keep her from being too nervous, "I won't deliberately inquire, I will tell you what I think I should tell you, and you are the same, right Yuanyuan?"

The three of them found a lot of magazines in the utility room. Mei Fang's books were full of magazines such as "Youth Digest", "Readers", "Story Club", "Kung Fu Swordsman", "Sprout", "Huahuo", "Zhiyin Manke" periodicals.

The family portrait hanging on the family portrait is the family portrait of Mei Fang’s grandparents. At that time, Mei Fang’s grandparents were still alive and sitting in the middle, followed by Mei Fang’s uncle and aunt, father Mei Lijun, and mother Xiang Xiaoxia.

Looking back on these experiences, I really feel a little embarrassed...

"It was a child at that time, of course it will. My mother often praises you in class, and I will feel jealous."

"Ah Fang was so, so cute when he was a child! How old were you then?"

"I want to see I want to see!"

"Now that I think about it, I was really easy to talk to!"

Lin Youxi nodded, "I've been playing games with Afang since the first grade, and we didn't tell you the secret until the fourth grade."

Lin Youxi flipped back and forth through what Mei Fang had written. Seeing that she was engrossed in reading it, Mei Fang asked curiously:
"What are you looking at so focused on?"

"Yuanyuan was very angry at that time."

Mei Fang pushed Xia Yuanlin Youxi upstairs, "Go to the other rooms and see, my mother said that all the things in the house before are placed in the room on the second floor."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, just go in directly."

"Ah, that...it should be the recorded CDs of elementary school art performances or weddings. My dad used to like to make this. Where can I shoot it with a camera?"

"This is a house built in the 90s, and it was like this back then."

Mei Fang reminded: "Maybe there are the two of you when you were young, don't you mind? I remember that there is indeed a DVD player in the ancestral house."

"Take it now, release it and have a look!"

Xia Yuan is very interested in the memories of the past.

 The next chapter will be released at 12:30 in about an hour, so you can stay up late and wait for me.
