Rebirth: I Want to Surf

January 2024.

10-year-old Yao Le is already 1.7 meters tall and stands out among children who are generally tall and strong. Her parents took her to the hospital for a checkup and found that there was no problem and she was developing normally.

Her parents were worried every day, but she didn't care. She even thought it was cool. She dominated the class and punched every kid.

Nameless Uncle Mo!

This was the last day before the winter vacation. Yao Le also walked out of the door of the National People's Congress Elementary School and looked up to see his shabby car that was deliberately low-key.

An old black Buick business car, it is said that my father bought it when he started his own business. At that time, my mother was a clear and strong female college student who could not even drive piles.

Give me your schoolbag!

Xiao Mo took the heavy schoolbag, opened the door to let the princess get in the car, and got in himself. He was nearly forty years old and had two children, so he was much calmer than when he was young.

Yao Le also had a good relationship with him and took the initiative to talk to him, asking: Uncle Xiao Mo, have you watched a movie recently?

I watched The Annual Party Can't Stop.

how do you feel?

It tells all kinds of bitter things about migrant workers. There are occasional highlights, but overall it's mediocre. And with a director like Dapeng, you can't expect him to really have this empathy. I can only say that the subject matter was chosen well.

Hey, you are looking more and more like my dad now!

After working with my boss for so many years, how can I live up to him if I don't make progress? My boss cares about the film industry, and I've learned something from it. This year's Lunar New Year and Spring Festival movies are not very good. Looking at the current film list, they are all speculation. Only ‘Bear Bears’ is original.”

I still want to go to the movies during the holiday. After hearing your advice, I might as well forget it and just go on vacation abroad.

Have you decided where to go this year?

No, I'm tired of everything. Life is boring...

Yao Le also yawned, lying lazily on the seat, showing a kind of emptiness and boredom that was completely inconsistent with his age. Xiao Mo smiled and did not answer the conversation. This topic was not something he could discuss in depth. .

It suddenly became quiet, and the broken car ran through the streets of the winter capital and drove all the way to the rising sun of Palm Springs.

My parents are both nostalgic people. They go to Xiangshan in summer and autumn, and live in Palm Springs in winter and spring. This habit has not changed for many years. According to my father, living in a large courtyard in a villa in winter is purely unhealthy.

But Yao Le also thinks there is another reason: the two houses are not too big, and for a family of four plus the aunt, they look compact and lively.

…

Palm Springs.

Yinyin is feeding Dabao medicine.

Viruses have been raging recently, including mycoplasma and Yang. Unfortunately, Dabao was infected. He went to the hospital for a visit and recuperated at home, so he took winter vacation early.

He is 5 years old this year and has not yet entered elementary school. He is obviously taller than his peers. He has inherited his father's genes. He is a handsome boy, but his personality is a bit squeamish.

Be good, baby, take the medicine!

No, it's so painful!

It's not bitter, it's not bitter. Just drink some water and swallow it. Come on...

I won't eat! I won't eat!

Yinyin coaxed her for a long time, but the child just refused to eat. She sighed tiredly and took a rest for herself - before she knew it, she was also 40 years old.

After a while, Yinyin continued to coax, and Yao Dabao continued to lose his temper.

I don't want to eat, I want to eat something sweet, I want to eat ice cream!

“What kind of ice cream do you eat in the winter?”

I just want to eat!

Why are you like your dad, who loves sweets...

Yinyin had no choice but to get up and go to the refrigerator when she suddenly heard brisk footsteps outside the door, and then the electronic lock opened with a click.

She looked at the time and felt relieved, the savior was here! With a squeak the door was pushed open, and before anyone could see it, the voice came first: Dabaozi, is mom back?

Alas!

Yao Dabao, who had been acting coquettishly just now, trembled all over and watched helplessly as a prehistoric giant beast appeared. Then he frowned and showed a ferocious expression.

Gulu!

The second before she roared, Yao Dabao quickly picked up the bowl, stuffed the medicine into his mouth first, then drained a bowl of water, and trotted over flatteringly.

Sister, you are back. I took my medicine today. I will get your schoolbag...

Didn't see it!

Yinyin turned her head away, with a look of worthless virtue.

…

Tiezi has done everything, and his eyes have calmed down!

Tiezi has gone in, General Fan has gone to film Flowers, and there is another unspeakable tossing overseas. Alas, everyone has a bright future!

Yao Yuan brushed his hands and surfed the Internet like a 44-year-old man.

The driver was still Xiao Mo. He had just dropped off Yao Leye and came to pick up Yao Yuan. He responded: Who would have thought that the national football team that was so criticized back then would be at the top?

One thing to say is that back then we were placed in the same group with a champion and a third runner-up. Costa Rica was not weak either. They defeated Sun Jihai when they first came up. Looking at it now, they actually played pretty well.

Then do you support the national football team?

No, no, this thing is to balance luck. I'd better work on my Royal Mallorca.

Yao Yuan shook his head and continued to brush his Mi Dou one after another, being bombarded with all kinds of information generated by big data.

If he wants to get any information, he has other channels. There is no need to be innovative on Mi Dou. This thing is just for leisure and entertainment.

After browsing, several videos about Harbin appeared in front of me.

This year Harbin is extremely popular. It is even more popular than Zibo. Traffic with the core selling points of Ice and Snow World, Central Street, Songhua River, Northeastern cuisine, etc. is flooding netizens all over the country.

Harbin originally wanted to market its winter tourism, but unexpected chain reactions occurred.

The reason is that a group of children from Guangxi came to Heilongjiang to study. They all wore orange jackets and matched them with Guangxi's specialties. They were affectionately called little sugar oranges.

These little sugar oranges have received meticulous care in places such as Harbin and Mohe. The traffic is huge. If they meet mediocre people, they may be wasted. But fortunately, there are experts in Guangxi Cultural Tourism who have caught this overwhelming wealth.

Guangxi selected 8 cars of Wo mandarin oranges and 3 cars of sugar oranges, a total of 200 tons of specialties, and sent them to Heilongjiang for free as a token of gratitude.

Heilongjiang selected 100,000 boxes of fresh cranberries and sent them to Guangxi as a return gift. Once these cranberries were sent, the whole Northeast was stunned!

Isn't this a tropical fruit? How come I have lived in Heilongjiang for thirty years and I don't even know about my family's property?

Northeastern people are very strict, and they don't say anything when asked!

Let me tell you, an experienced Northeastern expert, what do fresh cranberries taste like?

Thanks to the Northeastern veteran, I just received a box of cranberries today. I added some salt, pepper and chili powder and they have been made into sour wild fruits.

Damn it, Nanning thanks Harbin for turning on the lights tonight. Brothers from the Northeast, this is really impressive, in the city center!

As they come and go, the north and the south have a great get-together, and relatives are gone.

Culture and tourism in other provinces took a look and started to imitate the example and began to send special products.

Yunnan sent matsutake biscuits, Anhui sent French foie gras, Sichuan sent caviar, Gansu sent South American prawns...

More and more netizens have raised the same questions as Northeasterners:

“Our family still produces this stuff???”

“The so-called specialty products are those specially produced by local people!”

666, our Shanxi actually produces hairy crabs!

The maids from Sichuan are picking the freshest pea tips and they will be sent to Harbin soon!

What I saw on the road today was a large truck bound for Guangxi. The banner read, 'China has Xihar, guarding the country from the north to the south. Harbin will give 100,000 Wuchang rice to Guangxi brothers!'

Erbin, I don't even recognize you anymore. The three tribes of Sauron have all come down from the mountain, the Hezhe people have come ashore, and the Yi people from Liangshan have all come running over. I never thought I could see the Yi people on Central Street!

“Highly recommended to visit the 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall!”

The little potatoes from the south are leaving the Northeast. Thank you for everything you have done!

It's too cold here, so people's blood is boiling!

Everyone likes to be lively. It has always been said that the north and the south are one family, and the 56 ethnic groups are all brothers. But in this cold winter month, this kind of reunion, warmth and joy was suddenly realized in a sense, which ignited the enthusiasm of netizens.

...

The car has arrived at the underground parking lot in Palm Springs, but Yao Yuan has not moved, he has been watching these videos, and Xiao Mo has not said a word.

After a long time, he said: Xiao Mo, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?

About seven or eight years ago, my parents took over and there was no one left in my hometown.

Xiao Mo is also from the Northeast.

I haven't been back for a while...

Yao Yuan paused, did not say any more, waved his hand, opened the car door and went out.

He took the elevator upstairs, and before he could open the door, he heard a clicking sound inside, followed by Yao Dabao opening the door.

dad!

Hey, did you take your medicine obediently today?

After eating, I'm cured!

That's great. Let's go out and play after a few days off.

Yao Yuan walked into the house with his son in his arms, kissed Yinyin, and interacted with his daughter. Ever since he had a son and a daughter, he liked to do this. When he went out in the morning, he would say goodbye to his family, and there would be a corresponding ceremony when he came back in the evening.

He prefers to teach his children how to express love and thoughts.

Come back and rest, Auntie will not mention cooking.

When it was time for dinner, Yao Le also asked while fighting with braised lamb chops: Mom and Dad, where are we going on vacation this year?

Go to New Zealand! Yinyin did not hesitate, she liked New Zealand.

I've been there eight hundred times. It's so boring. I already know all the beautiful girls in Auckland! Yao Le also objected.

Then go to Spain? Lao Ma even asked me to play golf. Yao Yuan said with a smile.

No, you just go and watch the football and don't care about anything. Yinyin disagreed.

What about France, Italy, Northern Europe, South America, and Africa?

After talking a lot, the opinions were still inconsistent. Yao Yuan coughed and said, Why don't you go back to the Northeast?

Go back to your hometown? Will Yao Xiaobo go back this year?

No, I mean traveling.

As soon as these words came out, the two children looked confused. Yao Yuan said: What are your expressions? There is a lot to do in the Northeast, including the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, Ice and Snow World, Changbai Mountain, Rime, Yalu River, Benxi Water Cave, and Phoenix Mountain. There are Immortal, good fellow...

Yinyin rolled her eyes, knowing that he must have something else in mind, and said, Okay, okay, you can go if you want. It just so happens that they haven't been there either.

Is it settled then?

deal!

The parents agreed, but the children had no say, so the whole family happily decided to travel to the Northeast.

It was late at night.

The two made love secretly.

Yao Yuan put one hand on the back of his head and hugged Yinyin with the other, saying: This wave of traffic in the Northeast is huge, good and bad, because the ecology of agricultural products is very fragile, and brand building is very difficult. Problems may arise if you are not careful. I am doing it now The new agriculture is very good, just go and check it out.”

Let me just say that you have other ideas. Why, you finally can't help but want to revitalize Northeast China?

No, the country can't revitalize, so what can I do? But I can still do some things, it's my hometown after all... I used to take the train home from school, and the radio said that Shanhaiguan has arrived, and I always felt warm in my heart. , because after passing Shanhaiguan, you are home.”

Those who live in Qinhuangdao will be miserable. It means they have sat and stood before!

ha!

Yao Yuan laughed, and Yin Yin also laughed, and then became quiet again. After a while, Yin Yin sighed: Time flies so fast. One year has passed in a flash. Since the year of the epidemic, life has been like running water. It’s passed…”

The years are rushing by and there is still no peace.

Yao Yuan also sighed softly and said: Look, this year has only been a few days. The earthquake in Japan, the turmoil in South Korea, the conflict in the Middle East, Hawking's Loli Island, and the United States are accelerating their ascension to heaven... 2024, the beginning of the new year is really exciting!

(There’s nothing much to say, just wish everyone a good year!

I’m still taking a break. I went to the south for a trip last month. The cold wave was so cold...)
