Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

While the three of them were chatting on the sofa, Tao Ge called.

As soon as the phone call came through, she immediately asked: Are you in Shenzhen City or at CUHK?

Zhang Xuan told her: I just returned to CUHK.

Tao Ge said, Wait, sister will come over for dinner.

Zhang Xuan said yes.

When the call ended, Du Shuangling asked softly: Sister Tao is coming over?

Zhang Xuan nodded: She wanted to come here on Friday, but we were not here.

Du Shuangling stood up: Then I'll go upstairs and ask Huihui and Qingzhu to buy groceries.

Then she said to Dong Ziyu: Ziyu, come here for dinner tonight.

Dong Ziyu did not refuse and stood up: I rarely go to the vegetable market, so I will accompany you to have a look.

Zhang Xuan seemed bored, so he took an umbrella and went outside the school together.

When passing by a newsstand, he flipped through the newspaper out of habit and was attracted by one of the headlines: His screams were ignored in the middle of the night, and the famous writer Wang Xiaobo hit the wall and died.

The old man frowned, picked up the newspaper and read the report carefully. The time of Lao Wang's death was April 11, which was the day before yesterday. When he was found, his head was pressed against the wall. There were traces of teeth scraping on the wall. Dust on the floor and walls

According to neighbors, they heard someone screaming in the middle of the night, but they did not dare to go out to check. It was only the next day that Wang Xiaobo died suddenly at home.

Loneliness, pain and struggle became the last days of this unruly soul. Zhang Xuan was filled with emotion after reading the newspaper. This is another Van Gogh, desolate in life and mournful in death, which is very ironic.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Du Shuangling asked with concern: Do you know this person?

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, I don't know him, but I have read his works and he is a very talented writer.

Dong Ziyu followed the newspaper and asked, Has his wife divorced him? Why isn't he by his side?

Zhang Xuan recalled: His wife is a staff member of Guangming Daily and seems to be on a business trip abroad.

Zou Qingzhu interjected: Is their relationship good?

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and thought: It should be very good, but it's a pity that I didn't see him for the last time.

Hearing this, Du Shuangling, Dong Ziyu and Zou Qingzhu sighed.

Wen Hui moved the fine hair behind her ear with her right hand. After glancing at someone without any trace, she lowered her head and looked quietly at the black and white photos in the newspaper.

The vegetable market is not far from the barber shop, and you have to pass by the barber shop when you go there.

Looking at the closed barber shop, Zhang Xuan suddenly asked: Have you guys seen this Baise landlady recently? I haven't seen her for a while.

Everyone came from the Guan Yuan and were familiar with the rumors about Wan Jun and Baise’s landlady. The women shook their heads at the same time, saying they hadn’t seen them in a long time.

Dong Ziyu looked at the closed door and said, I heard from Siming that the landlady seems to have returned to her hometown.

Zhang Xuan was surprised: Go back to your hometown? No longer with Lao Wan?

Dong Ziyu said: They should have separated. Wan Jun is now entangled with Linlin.

Zhang Xuan is a little confused, where is this? Didn't Wan Jun always boast that the boss lady of Baise is good at coaxing people and is good at craftsmanship, and she is unwilling to leave this gentle hometown?

You even ruined your studies for this. What on earth is going on?

Zou Qingzhu asked curiously: Did Liu Lin agree?

Dong Ziyu said: Linlin will go to work at the State Grid after graduation, so naturally she is unwilling to do so.

When they come to the vegetable market, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu are the main ones who select fresh ingredients, and they also bargain and bargain. The amazing thing is that Zou Qingzhu has a pair of dexterous hands. Whether it is fish or meat, she can count the weight in her hands without having to weigh herself.

When Dong Ziyu met him for the first time, he felt incredible: Qingzhu, you are so young, how did you do this?

Zou Qingzhu replied: I have been shopping with my father every morning since I was a child. Once I have handled a lot of vegetables in the store, I will gradually become good at it.

Zhang Xuan sighed again: You are born to be a great chef.

Zou Qingzhu resisted very much: Hehe, don't do it, don't do it. I am also a famous college student after all. I want to do something elegant. I don't want to be like my parents who get up early and work late at night. I am too tired. Repeating the same things all my life is boring and boring. .”

Then Zou Qingzhu said: I think you are just greedy. You want to eat the food I cooked. You can come to my house often in the future. Anyway, my boyfriend is in Weihai and can't come back more than a few times a year.

Ouch, looking at the girl speaking freely, Zhang Xuan looked forward, feeling sad.

Before he finished speaking, he saw several people laughing weirdly. Zou Qingzhu's face suddenly stiffened and he quickly made up for it: No, no. What are you thinking? I just invited Zhang Xuan to dinner. Forget it, the two actors will not be here in the future. Zhang Xuan is not allowed to enter my house.

Zhang Xuan's face fell. Damn it, the more you look at it, the darker it becomes.

No, someone as kind as Wen Hui Wenxin couldn't help laughing.

Du Shuangling, who was smiling, said cheerfully: It's okay, you can cook for him even if I'm not around.

Zou Qingzhu was timid: I'm afraid, even if I starve to death, he won't do it.

Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu were shopping for groceries in front, Du Shuangling was in charge of paying the bill, and Zhang Xuan and Dong Ziyu were at the back.

Zhang Xuan asked in a low voice: What exactly is going on with Liu Lin and Lao Wan?

Dong Ziyu glanced at the three people in front of him, I heard that the boss's wife wanted to marry Wan Jun, but Wan Jun seemed unwilling. Later, the boss's wife closed the store and left Yangcheng.

What Zhang Xuan was thinking: Is this because you have seen through it after the freshness has worn off?

Dong Ziyu agreed: The boss lady must have seen through it before leaving. After all, Wan Jun has always liked Linlin.

Hey. Zhang Xuan sighed, not knowing what time it was.

Dong Ziyu asked: Why are you sighing?

Zhang Xuan said: It's nothing, I just feel that things in the world are impermanent.

Dong Ziyu looked at his profile for two seconds, then changed the subject and said, Have you been here like this for four years? This life is so interesting.

Zhang Xuanyuan said: That's a pity. If you liked it, I should have called you earlier. You are about to graduate now.

Dong Ziyu looked at Wen Hui at the front and asked, Are you willing to let her go?

Hearing these words and imagining Wen Hui leaving alone, Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly twitched, and he felt reluctant to leave.

After Dong Ziyu finished speaking, he observed his expression closely. Seeing his true feelings for a moment, he felt sad. Then he calmed down and joked with a smile: You are a great writer. You have the capital to get more privileges than others.

Zhang Xuan was silent and said nothing.

After buying groceries and returning to the teacher's apartment, the four girls were working in the kitchen on the third floor. Zhang Xuan looked around and found that he could neither intervene nor make conversation, so he returned to the study on the second floor.

For no other reason than reading, watch The World for the second time.

Reading time passed by the fastest. Several hours passed in a flash. In the evening, Tao Ge came.

He also brought a female bodyguard, who looked like a man at first glance, named Liu Yafei. Yes, the name is quite feminine, but this appearance and this, well, it's really hard to put it into words.

After reading the information, Zhang Xuan said to Liu Yafei: Tao Ge must have told you about the salary and job requirements. From now on, you can follow Zhao Lei and gradually get familiar with the business.

Yes! Liu Yafei turned around and Zhao Lei left.

When the door closed, Zhang Xuan turned to Tao Ge and asked, Is this man good at fighting?

Tao Ge guessed what he was thinking and asked meaningfully: What? Do you think you are ugly?

Zhang Xuan shook his head: Ugly, not to mention ugly. I just want to know, how many times can she hit someone like me?

Tao Ge suggested: How about you give it a try?

Zhang Xuan leaned back on the sofa: Forget it, I'm the boss. If she hits me, I will be fired. If I can't win, I will be fired. It's not easy for people to find a job. I'm the breadwinner. I'm not embarrassed. It’s a family.”

Tao Ge laughed: Come on, if you didn't want it, I wouldn't give it to you at all. This person is very useful as my secretary.

Zhang Xuan thanked him and said, Thank you, you are so kind to me.

Tao Ge crossed his legs and said, You know I'm good to you? But I can still be better to you. I can give you whatever you want, including my sister.

Zhang Xuan: .

Bah, that's a little too serious.

The old man stood up and said, Let's go. They are upstairs. Let's go up and take a look. The food should be ready soon.

Tao Ge picked up the bag and said, I'm really hungry. Wenhui's meal is one meal less. Today, I will eat half a bowl more.

The dinner was very lively. Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhang Xuan's appetite increased greatly. As Tao Ge said, Wen Hui had to eat one more bowl of rice instead of one meal at a time.

Since it was raining outside, I couldn't take a walk after dinner, so the entertainment was playing cards and playing cards. There were only four people playing cards, and there were two more people than six. Zhang Xuan gave up his seat very wisely.

Then five people drew cards, and the one with the lowest card was eliminated. As a result, Wenhui went to her grandma's house when she was running out of luck and drew the lowest 2.

Zhang Xuan watched several people around for an hour and found that Shuang Ling and Dong Ziyu had the best poker skills, while Tao Ge was the best. But they were no match for Zou Qingzhu, who was extremely lucky. With the two kings at the bottom, there was really no way for anyone to survive.

In the meantime, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold in his urine and went to the bathroom to use the toilet. When he opened the door, he didn't expect Wen Hui to be rinsing his mouth inside.

Looking at each other, the two people's speechless eyes collided and never looked away.

After a long time, Wen Hui lowered her head and spit out the water in her mouth. She put her toothbrush into the cup and stirred it a few times. She poured out the water in the cup, put the cup away, then straightened up and walked out.

Zhang Xuan subconsciously reached out with his left hand and grabbed her left wrist. Wen Hui paused, stopped in place, raised her head slightly and stared into his eyes.

Three seconds later, he quietly retracted his left hand, and Wen Hui took steps and walked out quietly.

Look what you have done? The old man slapped his right hand on his forehead, exhaled, and entered the toilet in the back room.

There are no stars tonight, and the moon is hiding in some girl's belly. Except for the sound of rain falling, the sky and earth are pitch black. On the balcony, Zhang Xuan leaned on the railing and stared blankly outside. The electric light cast his shadow on the sycamore tree, looking a little stunned.

The sound of rain hitting the gravel road was clearly audible. He took a last breath in the long silence, and then breathed another breath when he turned to go back to the living room.

He didn't know why, but he wanted to smoke at the moment. He touched his empty pockets and felt a little depressed.

He didn't want to look at Wen Hui again, and felt that one more look would make him more depressed, so he grabbed an umbrella and ran back to the dormitory.

Ou Ming was there, Zhang Xuan walked in with wet shoes and shouted: Old Ou, do you have any tobacco?

Ou Ming turned around and looked over, Brother Xuan, why are you back in the dormitory?

Zhang Xuan was a little confused and impatient. He stretched out his hand and urged: Quick, let's have a cigarette first.

Ou Ming didn't realize what was wrong with him, but he instinctively took out the old iron box, handed him a square piece of white paper, and then grabbed a handful of tobacco and put it on the white paper.

Zhang Xuan skillfully rolled it into a trumpet shape, and finally licked the white paper with his tongue to seal the joint. He leaned over Ou Ming's lighter and took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of smoke, took another deep breath, and then slowly puffed out a puff of smoke, and then An Ran slowly inhaled and tapped the sparkling seeds. Her whole body became calm, and she felt as if she had come back to life from drowning.

He was thinking that he was richer in this life, but suddenly had a lot of troubles, so it would be better to be simple.

After smoking half a cigarette, Zhang Xuan asked Ou Ming, who was looking at him unblinkingly: Why are you alone here?

Ou Ming replied: It rained heavily before, and Lao Wei and Lao Li went to help Shen Fan move things. I sprained my foot and stayed in the dormitory.

Zhang Xuan looked at his ankle, Are you okay?

Ou Ming twisted his feet and said, It's okay. It was a little painful at the time. After applying some paint on the bruise, it doesn't hurt much now. I just can't exert too much force yet. It should be fine after a sleep.

Then Ou Ming asked: Are you sleeping in the dormitory tonight?

He felt that his mood tonight was not right, and the two actors might notice him when he went back, but when he thought about Tao Ge's arrival, he ran away, which was not very polite.

So he said: Let's stay for a while and go back later.

He flipped through Ou Ming's graduation thesis: How's it going? Did you pass the instructor's test?

Ou Ming said happily: Everyone has passed.

Zhang Xuan turned the paper to the end and asked again: I'm about to graduate. Where is your job? Have you got it?

Ou Ming turned around the white cigarette in his hand and said, Still waiting. I'll let you know when the results are available.

Zhang Xuan wanted to ask if he wanted to help? But he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he thought that if it didn't work out, he would help him find a way.

After bragging with Ou Ming and smoking three cigarettes in a row, Wei Zisen and Li Zheng didn't come back. After all, he didn't spend the night in the dormitory, so he ran to the teacher's apartment with an umbrella.

When passing by the small auditorium, I met Wang Gege, who was rarely wearing red today. In fact, this girl looks pretty good even without wearing red.

When they collided head-on, Zhang Xuan smiled politely and wanted to pass.

Unexpectedly, Wang Gege unexpectedly called him: Zhang Xuan!

Zhang Xuan stopped when he heard the sound and looked at him.

Wang Gege laughed and said, I don't know if it's right to call you Zhang Xuan? Will it offend you?

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: Names are used for addressing people, and it is correct to call them by name.

Then he asked: Are you coming back from the library?

Yeah, I'm about to graduate. I wanted to stay in the library for a while, so I stayed here until now.

After speaking, Wang Gege took out a guest book and pen from his backpack and handed them to him:

I have liked you for a long time. You are about to graduate. Please sign your name for me.

Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded by the sudden confession, but he calmed down a lot later because he didn't see possessiveness in the girl's eyes, let alone any desire to move. It seemed that these words were just a reminder of the past and the fulfillment of a wish. .

Thank you for your love. Zhang Xuan took the notebook and pen and opened it carefully. He found that there were many messages in the guestbook. When he was about to turn to the back, Wang Gege spoke out.

Wang Gege came over and turned to the first page: I have always left this page empty. You can leave a message here.

Zhang Xuan slowly calmed down and asked, What do you want me to write?

Wang Gege seemed to have already prepared a draft, Just write the words I understand and then send me a blessing at will.

I see?

The old man's heart became even heavier, and he took a pen and began to write seriously: I understand.

At this point, he stopped writing for a short while, and then wrote with emotion: What cannot be retained in the long river of life are years and past events; what cannot be retained is time, leaving behind dreams and memories. I hope that many years from now, you and I can meet old friends and drink old wine together, get drunk and then break up, singing a line of youthful immortality. I wish all your wishes come true and everything goes smoothly.

Originally, according to his temperament, this kind of graduation message was basically delivered in one sentence.

But seeing this blank page, hearing her confession, and thinking of my own sadness tonight, I wrote a few more sentences.

When you're done, return the notebook and pen to her.

Wang Gege, who had a smile on his face just now, choked up a little when he touched the notebook: You wrote so well, thank you.

Thank you too. Zhang Xuan replied.

Wang Gege read the message again, then put away the pen and paper and said, It's getting late, I'm going back. I wish you and Du Shuangling love each other and grow old together.

Thank you. Zhang Xuan said thank you for the third time.

Wang Gege left, stepping on the raindrops and flowers on the ground, and disappeared at the end of the road.

Zhang Xuan looked at her back, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
