Rekindle 2012

Chapter 1 Return to Youth
2012, summer.

At 06:30 in the morning, it was still drizzling. Men and women wearing electronics factory work clothes were walking in a hurry on the slightly muddy path.

Li Chenyang walked into a canteen built with blue iron sheets, casually took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator and placed it on the counter. Then he said to the boss who was watching the game seriously: "A can of Coca-Cola."

"Pretty boy, are you off work?"

The boss turned around and looked over and found that he was an acquaintance.

"just came back."

Li Chenyang yawned, took out a handful of change from his pants pocket, counted two one-yuan steel coins, found a five-cent paper note from the crumpled change, handed it over, and then left with a Coke. go out.

Drizzle wet clothes.

Walking all the way back, his hair was already wet from the rain, and water dripped down his bangs. Li Chenyang seemed to be unaware, opened the Coke and took a swig.

The cold feeling made him realize that he was in reality.

In fact, last night, Li Chenyang was sure that he was reborn.

From 2024 back to 2012, back to the time when he had just graduated from high school and went to Haizhu City to work during the summer vacation. It is now July 7th. It has been almost a month since he came to Haizhu City. In that dark small manufacturing workshop , he worked for more than 15 days.

This was probably the most difficult period of his life.

Living in the narrowest room, eating the poorest food, and doing the most tiring work day and night, he weighed only 110 pounds during his physical examination.

Kaka.

The can was crushed into a ball, and Li Chenyang casually placed it on the stone pier aside. The sweeping lady not far away had already been watching it with eager eyes. It was impossible for the aluminum can to stay here for a minute.

Walking 50 meters forward, we crossed a small arch bridge. Under the arch bridge was a ditch. The water was already a little black and smelly. There was a pungent smell from all the way. The biggest rat Li Chenyang had ever seen in his life was in this ditch. Below, the rat is bigger than the civet cat in the countryside.

There are two buildings further ahead, which are the houses Li Chenyang rented in Haizhu City Industrial Zone.

The monthly rent for a single room is not expensive, around [-] or [-]. No deposit is required, and water and electricity bills are not included.

Both Handshake buildings have nine floors and no elevators. Li Chenyang remembers that the house he rented was the one on the right. There was a simple garment factory downstairs with only a few sewing machines and was often empty.

After confirming that he had found the right location, Li Chenyang walked into the stairs. However, when he went upstairs, he frowned because he forgot which floor he lived on.

More than ten years have passed, and it’s already amazing to be able to remember where you live. As for which floor and which household, it’s too difficult to remember.

I stood in the corridor and rested for a while.

Li Chenyang rummaged in his pocket and took out a flip phone with a keyboard. The silver body was already a little faded. When he swiped up, the buttons appeared. The letters on them were a little blurry. The brand was BBK, and Li Chenyang bought it when he was taking the high school entrance examination in his second year of high school. , the price is more than 800. In addition to making calls and sending text messages, I use Monternet to read novels. I really can’t imagine what else this phone can do.

Pressing the unlock button, he searched in the address book and finally stopped at a contact named Feng Shuangshuang. With a mixture of anxiety and a bit of expectation, Li Chenyang dialed the number.

After a while of ringing, the phone was connected.

There is a clean female voice inside.

"Hey, what are you doing on the phone? Are you off work?"

"After get off work, I was downstairs. My legs cramped accidentally and I couldn't go up. Please come down and help me."

Hearing this voice, Li Chenyang's sealed memories were suddenly opened. He took a deep breath and finally calmed down his emotions.

"Then wait a minute, I'll come down right away."

Before the call was hung up, I heard the sound of the iron door hitting the door frame, and then fell into silence...

Li Chenyang stared at the top of the stairs, waiting, expecting to see that familiar figure.

In less than a minute, a girl wearing light blue overalls and a ponytail hurried down the stairs.

The girl is very beautiful, with an oval face, big eyes, fair skin, and an ridiculously slim figure. She is about 1.7 meters tall, not much shorter than Li Chenyang, especially the pair of legs wearing jeans, which are straight and slender.

The girl has no make-up and her eyes are very clear, revealing the simplicity and innocence of people of this era.

"Brother Yang, why are you sprained your feet? Can you still walk?"

The girl asked quickly. Maybe she was in a hurry to go downstairs, and she was still breathing while speaking.

"No...it's not a big deal. Just go up and have a rest. Please help me."

Li Chenyang gently put his hand on her shoulder.

The scent of the girl's hair echoed in her nose.

Li Chenyang was a little stunned. "Hey, why are you so careless?"

"Remember to be careful next time you walk. Do you know what will happen if I go to work?"

"See if you can still move?"

The girl supported Li Chenyang's arm and held the handrail with the other hand, and walked upstairs step by step. She kept talking nonstop, but Li Chenyang just smiled lightly and repeated that there was nothing wrong with him.

Feng Shuangshuang is Li Chenyang's first girlfriend.

Their relationship ended just before their senior year.

No, it should be said that Feng Shuangshuang's life ended on the eve of her senior year of college. At that time, Feng Shuangshuang became seriously ill... She chose to stop treatment before she spent all her family's savings.

Li Chenyang still remembered that in front of the hospital bed, Feng Shuangshuang, who had a sallow complexion and was already skin and bones, took his hand and said to him.

"I can't accompany you anymore. You have to find a healthy woman to be your wife who loves you more than me..."

That day, Li Chenyang burst into tears.

Feng Shuangshuang helped Li Chenyang to the fifth floor before stopping.

Li Chenyang wrote down the floor, and then followed Feng Shuangshuang to the door of Room 506. Feng Shuangshuang supported Li Chenyang with one hand, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the rusty iron door.

The door opened.

The scene inside the house came into view.

The small house is only about ten square meters, with only a table and a wooden bed with bunk beds. There is no other furniture. The stove is empty and there is nothing. The blocked place should be a bathroom.

In his previous life, he spent the most difficult two months in this place, and it was also here that they left many beautiful memories.

Scenes he hadn't seen for more than ten years resurfaced again, and Li Chenyang felt a little dazed in his heart, just like when he woke up from a dream yesterday, feeling a little confused and at a loss.

"You sit down for a while, and I'll pour some hot water to soak your feet."

Feng Shuangshuang helped Li Chenyang sit down on the lower bunk. The wooden bed was in disrepair and creaked as soon as he sat down.

Feng Shuangshuang wiped the sweat from his face, quickly walked to the door, pulled out the plug of the wire, and took a metal spiral object out of the bucket and carefully put it aside.

She tentatively touched the water temperature, carried the bucket with both hands, took out the red plastic basin under the bed, poured the water into it, and then said: "You soak your feet first, and then go to bed later. If the water temperature is not enough, you can Add a little from the bucket..."

After saying that, he also took off Li Chenyang's shoes and socks.

Everything was so natural and smooth. It wasn't until the hot water reached his ankles that Li Chenyang woke up. Looking at Feng Shuang who was sweating profusely, he took a towel from the bedside shelf and wiped her sweat.

"You got it wrong. This is a towel for wiping your feet."

Feng Shuangshuang raised his head and widened his eyes.

"A foot wiper?"

Li Chenyang looked at the towel on his hand. He really couldn't remember this.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

After pressing Li Chenyang's ankle, Feng Shuangshuang continued chattering.

Not knowing how to explain it, Li Chenyang turned on his phone, looked at the time, and interrupted him.

"It's time."

Feng Shuangshuang glanced at the time, stood up quickly with a loud noise, and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to work. If you're late, your salary will be deducted. You don't have to pour the water. I'll clean it up when I come back at noon. You have a good rest and refresh yourself." , as usual at noon, I’ll bring you some food and we’ll eat together.”

"it is good."

Li Chenyang nodded.

"bye Bye."

After shaking his hand, Feng Shuangshuang picked up his work badge, hung it around his neck, and hurried out.

What a young girl...

　As the new book sets sail, I would like to wish you all a happy ending. I can't wait to read the author's old book "Rebirth in the Era of Struggle", which has 233 million words and has been completed.
