Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 400 If the extra chapter of the if line is destined to be Fangxi · 8 (addition for the cute master Yeyin Lingyue)

For a long time, Mei Fang has always held a very delicate emotion for his hometown.

Occasionally, he would miss all the delicacies he had eaten in his hometown since he was a child, but he would also be afraid of the various ways of life in his hometown.

For example, I will be asked how much money I earn a month in Pengcheng, whether I have a partner, and whether I plan to buy a house or not.

Then there is something like "It's hard money to work in a big city, it's better to come back early and stabilize."

"The child of my second aunt's family has earned hundreds of thousands at home casually, which is no faster than when you earn money in Pengcheng."

Such comparisons and hints are always heard.

As for the memories of the past, the only thing worth remembering is his good friend named Zhang Ming.

But since he became an employee of Huaxing and was transferred to Wu Kenan, he has not heard from him, and he doesn't know what is going on now.

I just hope this guy still has a chance to meet him alive...

"What are you thinking about?"

The neighbor of the high-speed rail is Lin Youxi, who is looking at Mei Fang with his chin resting on his cheeks. His beautiful jewel-like eyes are staring at his cohabitant curiously, "Are you thinking about how to introduce me to your uncle and aunt after you go back? "

"I have sent a message to chat before, saying that we are friends."

"But uncles and aunts still think too much, right?"

"That's for sure... How can there be friends of the opposite sex who just rest at their own home."

Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, "Let me tell you in advance, my hometown is very dilapidated and small. There is nothing special except that it is in the urban area. If you are not used to it, you'd better stay in a hotel by yourself."

"Why, don't you want our relationship to be misunderstood by our parents? That's impossible."

Lin Youxi shook her head, "I still need you to remind me to take medicine."

Mei Fang was a little helpless: "When there is no me, don't you remember to take your medicine on time?"

"I used to be happy living alone, but not now."

Lin Youxi pointed at Mei Fang's nose and reminded, "Hmph, ever since that nasty guy pulled my car window, I can't live alone now!"

It's obviously a sweet couple flirting, but Mei Fang always feels a little unreal, and after being teased by Lin Youxi for a while, she couldn't help complaining:

"When I first met you, you were clearly a high-cold Yujie with a story, why do you become like a little girl now?"

"You don't know me well, how can you say that I have changed?"

Lin Youxi looked at Mei Fang with her cheeks resting on her cheeks. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and finally Mei Fang couldn't help but look away.

"Okay, I won!" Lin Youxi smiled.

"Childish is not naive." Mei Fang expressed her disgust.

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Yuanyuan liked playing this with you the most when he was a child, and your answer now is exactly the same as when he was a child, it's amazing."

"You're talking about kindergarten, how can you remember it so clearly? At least 20 years ago."

Lin Youxi said softly, "I dreamed about her last night."

"The dream may not be real, it may just be memory confusion."

"It's beautiful even if it's fictional."

Lin Youxi reminded Mei Fang, "By the way, this short episode can also be used as a plot, and it can be included in our "Baimei Time", okay?"

"That's not a problem..." Mei Fang thought it was a good idea.

"Speaking of which, when we go back to our hometown this time, we still have the important task of collecting folk songs!"

"Collecting wind?"

"That's right, when we are doing "Baimei Time", we have to collect and sort out some scenery data of hometown elements. At that time, some maps and data must be collected and inspected. Several important blocks in BR County, as well as some school layouts and buildings As for the design, we have almost done the overall framework now, and now we need to find an artist to do it."

"Speaking of which, hiring art is a big cost..."

Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi, "Is your budget enough?"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "You don't have to worry about money, I can earn it, you just need to work hard."

"Even though I'm in a small company, I still saved a sum of money. If you want to make the game well, you have to spend what should be spent."

"Oh, you should save your money for your future wife. Do you know how much dowry gifts girls get now?"

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang on the head, "How low is the probability of our game making money? As a well-informed master planner, you should know better than me, right?"

"It's not a matter of making money or not... Even if it's word of mouth or reputation, the higher the quality, the better. It will be easier to find a job in the future..."

"That's right, haha..."

The topic suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere of silence. Lin Youxi and Mei Fang bowed their heads in silence for a while, then Mei Fang raised his head and said, "By the way, how much dowry do girls want now?"

"Why ask this, I don't know... I don't have parents to teach me." Lin Youxi smiled.

"Then how much do you want?"

Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang for a while, "You can't afford it."

"Can I ask?"

"No, I told you, don't think about me."

"I can't make up your mind, can someone else?"

Mei Fang stared into Lin Youxi's eyes, and this time neither of them averted their eyes.

"Are you jealous?"

"Well," Mei Fang nodded, "Isn't it possible?"

Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head. Before Mei Fang could continue to speak, she held Mei Fang's cheek and kissed it directly.

The unscrupulous behavior of the two soon attracted warnings from the high-speed rail flight attendants.

"Hey, you two, behave yourself on the high-speed rail! This is a public place!"

"Yes, sorry!"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi got off the high-speed rail station, and after a busy security check, they finally set foot on the land of Baimei County.

"Wow! Now this new high-speed rail station is really well repaired, much better than the dilapidated train station before."

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang left the station, breathing the air of Baimei County greedily, then tilted their heads to look at Mei Fang and said:

"It's been a long time since I came back. Is Pan Kee Beef Noodles still open? I want to eat."

"open."

Mei Fang pushed the suitcase while walking and said, "Why don't you come back if you want to eat?"

"It's quite boring to eat alone. I used to eat with Yuanyuan and my father, but now you can accompany me."

Lin Youxi asked as he walked, "Afang, what kind of people are your parents?"

"What kind of person..."

Mei Fang thought for a while, "My dad has a more lively personality, but he feels a little unreliable... My mom is a little bit controlling, but it is reasonable, and she likes to do things occasionally. It should be much better in the past few years. But my parents Generally speaking, they are honest and responsible people, and they are easy to get along with."

"By the way, you are single, have you not brought a girl home for a long time?"

"What is a long time..."

Mei Fang corrected Lin Youxi's statement, "It's never happened, okay!"

"Okay, it's never happened!"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were chatting and laughing, when suddenly Mei Fang was slapped hard on the head from behind:

"Boy! Didn't you see Dad at all! You ignored me when I greeted you!"

"I rely on... Dad, you are scared to death——"

The thin-haired man who appeared in front of Mei Fanglin Youxi was Mei Lijun. He looked dark-skinned and had a lot of creases on his face, which were signs of hard work, but he was still full of energy. You carry your luggage."

"Didn't you say you don't need to pick it up?"

"It's not been a long time since I came back, do you want to give you a surprise?"

"I don't need such a surprise."

Mei Fang and his father bickered and talked, and forgot to introduce Lin Youxi's existence to his father for a while. Lin Youxi finally caught the gap between the father and son's conversation and went up to say hello.

"... Uncle, Uncle, hello."

"Hello, hello! You are the friend Mei Fang mentioned, right!"

Mei Lijun really didn't expect his son to bring back such a beautiful friend of the opposite sex. After a while, he scratched his head and agreed in Mandarin, "Huan, welcome to Baimei County!"

"Dad! Didn't I tell you that Youxi is originally from Baimei County, so there's no need for it!"

"Ah, I forgot when I was nervous."

"You can still be nervous..."

Mei Fang felt that her father had been embarrassing and embarrassed, so she leaned over to apologize to Lin Youxi:
"Sorry, my dad is like this."

"Why do you apologize..."

Lin Youxi whispered to Mei Fang, "I think your father is very cute."

Lin Youxi, who Mei Fang knew well, had always been a bad woman who liked to tease her, but she was extraordinarily reserved in front of her elders, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

Mei Lijun led Mei Fang to his motorcycle, and Mei Fang was dumbfounded when he saw it, "You don't want to drive the two of us back on a motorcycle, do you?"

"What's the matter, you can sit on it." Mei Lijun patted the motorcycle, "My car has super powerful horsepower, and it hasn't broken after riding for more than ten years!"

"Oh, what if people can sit down with their luggage! You can't carry it back all the time! You can ride back by yourself, and at most you can help with your luggage. We can just take a taxi back."

"I'm here, let me pick you up!"

"It's inconvenient to say—"

"It's okay, Afang! Just ride the motorcycle."

Lin Youxi suddenly became very talkative and gentle, "Let's squeeze together with our suitcases."

"Then, that's fine..."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi got into Mei Lijun's car one after another, hanging aside with their luggage.

Mei Fang felt very embarrassed, and entertained Lin Youxi home, but his family didn't even have a trolley.

"Youxi, be careful when you get on the motorcycle, don't touch the exhaust port. I was burned by the exhaust port several times before, and a layer of skin was burned off."

"I know, I know, when I used to ride my dad's motorcycle, he kept reminding me like this."

Lin Youxi was close behind Mei Fang, holding the suitcase in the air with one hand, looking a little struggling.

Seeing this, Mei Fang took the box from her hand, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

"Well... then I'll—"

Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang from behind, and hugged him tightly. The feeling of her chest against her back made Mei Fang's heart flutter, and Lin Youxi even leaned against Mei Fang's ear directly.

"Before, when I was studying in middle school, my dad always drove me to school like this."

"Eh... um."

"Sit tight, the weather doesn't seem to be very good now, let's go!"

Mei Lijun stepped on the motorcycle engine engine car, making a terrible whirring sound.

The motorcycle started, and Lin Youxi put his arms around Mei Fang, who was carrying the suitcase, and put his hands on his arms, helping him to lose some weight.

"Is this going to be better?"

"Um……"

Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder, squinting at the street scene of the town.

The evening wind is blowing, the setting sun stretches the silhouette of the motorcycle infinitely, and the familiar local accent hawking is faintly heard in the distance, everything is so far away and so vague.

Have you really lived on this land for 18 years?
Lin Youxi has only been away from home for ten years, but the first 18 years of her life seemed like a dream to her.

"Do you still have the impression of this street here?"

"It's all changed." Lin Youxi shook his head, "The change is so big..."

Mei Lijun said while riding his bicycle, "Yes, this street here has been newly repaired, the road is much wider than before, and many places are no different from your big city in Pengcheng!"

Lin Youxi listened to Mei Lijun talking about the past, looked at the street scene on the side of the road, and suddenly said to Mei Fang.

"Fang."

"how?"

"At the crossroad ahead, there used to be a big high-end hotel, do you have any impression?"

"Forehead……"

"Oh, you mean 'Baimei family'! Miss, you have a pretty good memory."

Mei Lijun then said, "That hotel used to be the largest and most luxurious hotel in our Baimei County. There is no one in Baimei County who has eaten there. It’s a pity that after the road was built, it collapsed later..."

"Dad." Mei Fang reminded Mei Lijun, "Concentrate on watching the road and don't miss it."

"Oh yes, the boss of that house—"

"Drive hard, Dad."

"Don't let me finish my sentence..."

The Baimei Renjia Hotel, which used to be famous for a while, is now replaced by a new hotel called Baimei Building.

There was a lot of traffic and people coming and going, and the downstairs of the hotel in Baimei Building was full of vehicles.

The glorious achievements and sad stories of the past have become the talk of others after dinner. How many people like Lin Youxi will miss her childhood playmate for the rest of their lives?
Whenever Mei Fang thinks of this, Mei Fang will only feel extremely distressed, and just want to work harder to hold on to Lin Youxi who is holding hands with him.

A group of three people were driving, and suddenly a light rain fell from the sky.

"No, it's time to get down."

"I said let's take a taxi back, it's really..."

"Afang, Afang, help me carry it, I'll take the umbrella!"

The summer rainy season in Baimei County is erratic, and the light rain pours down in an instant. The umbrella Lin Youxi held up could not shelter the three of them from the wind and rain. A group of three rushed into the alley against the downpour, and finally arrived at Meifang's house. hometown.

Mei Lijun stopped the car in a hurry, and Lin Youxi jumped out of the car to carry Mei Fang's luggage. At this time, an old lady walked over quickly with an umbrella, helping Lin Youxi to shelter from the wind and rain, saying:

"I told you to bring a raincoat, and let the children take a taxi back when it's raining so hard, it's really—"

Lin Youxi, who was drenched in water, wiped his face, and the aunt beside him hurriedly handed over a dry towel for Lin Youxi to wipe.

"Son, you are tired."

Lin Youxi shyly accepted the other party's wiping, which was a rare experience for her. After her face was wiped clean, she hurriedly greeted the other party.

"Ah, hello, auntie!"

It was Mei Fang's mother, Xiang Xiaoxia, who was greeting Lin Youxi at this time. The years have left many traces on her face. Now she is a very ordinary middle-aged woman, but she is full of wrinkles around her eyes. But the eyes are very beautiful and energetic, and it can be seen that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.

When Lin Youxi met this aunt for the first time, she suddenly felt very familiar.

"Okay, okay..." Xiang Xiaoxia liked Lin Youxi more and more, "Come in first, and take a hot bath first when you come back, so as not to catch cold."

"it is good."

Then Lin Youxi was arranged to take a bath, and Mei Fang and Mei Lijun sat wrapped in blankets in the small living room.

"Is it not wet?"

"It's okay to bring the laptop with you."

Mei Fang was talking, and Mei Lijun on the side was looking at him cheerfully with his legs crossed.

"Hey, you kid—where did you meet such a beautiful girl? She's from the local area, so you can find her quite easily."

"Don't ask so much."

"What does she do, does she play games like you?"

"Ah."

"Where are your parents? Where are your parents from, old family, maybe your dad and I know their family, so I can ask more. Don't you live here now?"

"she--"

Lin Youxi changed into her unlined clothes, and came out of the bathroom wiping her hair. Xiang Xiaoxia, who was packing and preparing meals, trotted forward, "The hair dryer is here, I'll get it for you."

"No need, Auntie, I'll take it myself."

"No, no, I'll blow it to you. Don't be polite to auntie, just treat it as your own home."

"Ok, I know……"

Youxi's nemesis has been found, hahaha!

Mei Fang never imagined that Lin Youxi would be so reserved and gentle in front of her mother, as if she was as well-behaved as a kindergarten child.

But after all, you are visiting someone else's house, so I'm sorry, is it normal behavior?

After everyone took a bath, Xiang Xiaoxia greeted everyone to have dinner together.

Braised fish, steamed meat with rice flour, roasted local chicken, stir-fried cabbage, cauliflower, bean and eggplant, as well as pork ribs and lotus root soup and hammer broth, which are special products in Chubei Province. Salivating.

"Oh, mom, this whole thing is as rich as Chinese New Year."

"My son brought his girlfriend back together. It's not as happy as Chinese New Year—ah, hey, he's a friend of the opposite sex."

Before Mei Fang came here, she specifically told Xiang Xiaoxia not to mistake Lin Youxi's identity. Of course, Xiang Xiaoxia regarded it as a temptation that she hadn't fully determined the relationship, and she said she was going to live in her own home. Ordinary friends of the opposite sex who don't mind.

Xiang Xiaoxia kept staring at Lin Youxi. After taking a bath, Lin Youxi was so beautiful and refined, she was obviously not an ordinary girl.

"Come on, eat more, Lin Youxi... right?"

"Just call me Youxi, Auntie."

Lin Youxi responded softly, and then took a small bite of the rice. She didn't have to pick up the food herself, Xiang Xiaoxia filled it up for her directly, "Eat more"

"Wife, you are feeding pigs, stuffing so much for her, how can a little girl finish it?"

"You're the only one who can talk! Who are you calling a pig? Shut up!"

Xiang Xiaoxia pushed Mei Lijun with disgust, and Lin Youxi was eating happily. Mei Fang worried that she was timid, so she took the initiative to ask:

"Can you finish all these dishes? If you can't finish, I'll order."

"No, I can finish it, it's all delicious."

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang had a lively meal, and Xiang Xiaoxia took this opportunity to chat with Lin Youxi:

"Youxi, where did you live when you were a child?"

"Live on the side of Renmin Avenue, which is in the alley next to Xiangyang Community." Lin Youxi said softly, "Is Xiangyang Community still there?"

"Xiangyang District?!"

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia were stunned when they heard the words, "Isn't that where we lived before? We lived in that community before."

"So Yuanyuan also lives in that community."

"Fate is—"

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "I was a very good friend when I was young. She, Afang and I went to kindergarten together when I was young, I still remember."

"Ah? Really? Did you know each other since you were young? That's really fate..."

"Yes……"

Mei Lijun gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what's your father's name, Youxi, maybe I know your father."

"My dad... my dad's name is Lin Guochuan."

"Lin Guochuan? This name... looks familiar."

"I think so too! Maybe we really know each other..."

Xiang Xiaoxia thought about it for a while, and couldn't remember the name for a while, and then asked Lin Youxi, "How about Youxi, does the food that Auntie cooks suit your taste?"

"Delicious, delicious, delicious."

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Ah Fang is so lucky to have a mother who can cook so well."

Hearing Lin Youxi directly calling her son A Fang, Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun were very happy, and immediately said a few more words, "Does it feel like a mother?"

"Um……"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "This is my blind spot of knowledge..."

"Knowledge blind spot?"

Mei Fang quickly explained from the side, "Youxi... her mother died when she was three years old."

"Ah... That's right, I'm really, really sorry... Auntie doesn't know."

"It's okay, Aunt Xiang."

Lin Youxi smiled softly, "You're right, this should be the smell of mother."

"If you have a chance to go home, come to my house to eat often. Auntie will definitely feed you until you become fat and fat!"

"Thank you auntie!"

"Lin Guochuan...Lin Guochuan...I remembered!"

Mei Lijun thought about it, "Your father should be the third child of the Lin family in Dongmen Fishery Street. He worked on the construction site. I remember that he seemed to be a few years ago—"

"Yeah, my dad died too."

Lin Youxi said softly, "I died in my senior year."

"..."

Mei Lijun single-handedly brought the topic to an undue heavy level, and Xiang Xiaoxia couldn't help but began to wipe her tears when she heard it.

"You child...it's too sad. You didn't have a mother when you were young, and your father passed away later. How can you have such a hard life..."

"Ah, well, it's not that scary anymore, I'm used to it now."

Xiang Xiaoxia leaned over as she spoke, "Can I let Auntie hug you?"

"what……"

Lin Youxi didn't expect that Xiang Xiaoxia would suddenly make this request to her. After thinking for a while, she nodded, "Yes."

As Xiang Xiaoxia spoke, she hugged Lin Youxi, a warm feeling came from the other person, and her somewhat shriveled and callused palms gently rubbed Lin Youxi's back.

"We used to live very close to each other, if only we could get to know Youxi earlier."

Xiang Xiaoxia said softly, "When you come to my house to eat delicious food every day, it's like I have an extra daughter, that would be great..."

"Now, it's not too late."

Mei Lijun echoed and said, "Just stay at our house for a few days, and with Mei Fang, feel the changes in Baimei County, okay?"

"Ah."

Lin Youxi leaned against Xiang Xiaoxia's shoulder with her eyes closed, her body trembling slightly, Mei Fang just watched quietly like this, seeing a trace of tears flowing from the corner of Lin Youxi's closed eyes, she suddenly felt a little nervous. I can't hold back.

A mother's hug like this used to be a mother-child interaction that Mei Fang hated very much since she was a child.

But for Lin Youxi, it may be the first experience he has never had before.

How did this girl get through the days and nights when her father was busy with work without her mother taking care of her...

……

call……

Mei Fang stood up and walked towards the toilet.

An inexplicable palpitation rushed into his heart.

When he came to the toilet, he suddenly leaned against the wall exhausted, clenched his heart tightly, and his face became distorted in pain.

This feeling of chest pain hasn't happened for a long time since he didn't work overtime. Every time he went for a checkup, he just said that he should stay up less late, but this time it made him feel particularly frightened.

Well……

Don't be at this time--

Mei Fang clutched his cramped heart, leaned against the door of the bathroom, and sat down slowly, trying to ease himself gradually.

He didn't want Lin Youxi to see him like this, so he tried not to shout.

It was not easy for her to feel a little bit happy.

I can't make her think that... it's her problem again—

The current house of Mei Fang’s family is an old house, but because it is located in the urban area of ​​a small town, the speakers outside the clothing store can always be heard outside the house.

At this time, the song "The Nameless Man" coming from the speakers is singing very appropriately, and the writers in an ordinary and ordinary town like Mei Fang——

About the joys and sorrows and bitterness and helplessness of their insignificant life journey——

【I am the person on this road without a name】

[I have no news, no one to comment]

[We must do everything in exchange for an ordinary script]

【Twists and turns but making a living】

【I am leaving, people from the small town】

【It's someone who has eaten while crying and laughing】

【A person who is on the road and a breadwinner】

[It is the silence of the city background]

[I just want to touch it with my own hands]

【Every moment of bending over】

[Is the soaked footprints worth it?]

【This choking if you are the same】

【It's a friend on the same road】

【To all, indomitable but—ordinary and ordinary】

【Anonymous person, I offer you a glass of wine】

【Respect your silence, and every roar】

【Respect you bend your waist and go up the mountain to a high place】

【Head above the sky, live hard】

　These days are the days of the college entrance examination again. As a 13-year examinee ten years ago, I also feel a little bit emotional. I originally wanted to write a simple if article, but I wrote a lot. The last song is more suitable for the occasion, and it is dedicated to the end Candidates for the college entrance examination, especially every young small-town questioner from the same background as me, you and I live in a different era. You may have known from the Internet very early that even if you are admitted to the ideal university, you may The fate of birth is difficult to change in the future.

　　However, it is also a great thing to recognize the cruelty of the world and work hard to live. You have worked hard to this point, no matter what, you are worthy of respect.
　　Respect the ordinary, respect the world for kissing me hard, and I will still repay it with a song!
