The Pentium Era - South to North

Early in the morning, while Xiang Nan was still sleeping in bed, Zhang Xiangbei got up, went to the bathroom and came out after washing up. When he saw Xiang Nan sitting up on the bed, Zhang Xiangbei asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiang Nan said sleepily: "I'm going to get up too."

"This is in Hangcheng, not Yongcheng, and you don't have to get up to practice your voice." Zhang Xiangbei walked over, pressed Xiangnan's shoulders, and asked her to lie down again. Zhang Xiangbei said:

"You need to sleep a little longer, you have to drive later."

Today at noon, Xiang Nan and the theater troupe are going back to Yongcheng.

"I don't need to drive, Ding Yousong will drive." Xiang Nan said.

"Then you should sleep a little longer. It's still early and the bus ride is tiring." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Xiang Nan smiled and kept holding Zhang Xiangbei's neck. Zhang Xiangbei kissed her. Then Xiang Nan let go of him and said to him:

"Drive slower on the road."

Zhang Xiangbei agreed and went downstairs. There was no one downstairs. Tan Shuzhen and Liu Ligan hadn't gotten up yet. Zhang Xiangbei opened the door and went out. He walked to the next door. The door next door was open. As soon as Zhang Xiangbei left. As he entered, grandma greeted him and said:

"Come and have breakfast. Drink some milk first. Your grandpa is going to buy you fried pancakes and tofu."

Zhang Xiangbei sat down to drink milk, peeling an egg in his hand, and asked: "Where is Xixi?"

"Still sleeping." Grandma said.

"No need to go to school?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

Grandma said: "Kindergarten, what's the big deal if you go late? We'll wait until she wakes up."

Just as he was talking, Xixi came down from upstairs alone with a sad face, shouting: "Grandma, you didn't call me, I'm going to be late again today."

Grandma said: "What does it matter if you are late for kindergarten? The most important thing is to wake up. Who told you not to go to bed early at night?"

Zhang Xiangxi opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and looked at Zhang Xiangbei with a surprised expression. Zhang Xiangbei smiled, and Zhang Xiangxi said:

"Beibei, let me tell you, grandma is getting more and more excessive."

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and asked, "What's wrong with grandma?"

"Let me tell you, she always says now that it doesn't matter if she is late for kindergarten. She doesn't know that being late every day is embarrassing and embarrassing. When we go to kindergarten, the iron gate of the kindergarten is closed. If we have to knock like this, that old man will The teacher came to open the door and let me in, but I didn't dare to walk in when I reached the classroom door." Zhang Xiangxi and Zhang Xiangbei complained.

"What, are you afraid of being scolded by the teacher?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"The teacher doesn't know how to scold me, but I would blush. Also, there is that Zhao Ziqiang who always calls me the late king." Zhang Xiangxi said.

Grandma heard Zhang Xiangxi's voice and came out of the room to take her to wash her face and brush her teeth. Zhang Xiangxi refused to go, saying she wanted to talk to Beibei. She hadn't seen Beibei for several days. Zhang Xiangbei looked at his watch. and Zhang Xiangxi said:

"If you wash your face and brush your teeth quickly and eat breakfast well, I will take you to kindergarten."

"Really?!" Zhang Xiangxi bowed and nodded, then turned around and shouted to his grandmother: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go wash your face and brush your teeth."

Zhang Xiangxi came back after washing up and sat down. Lao Zhang also came back with raw pancakes and a jar of tofu. Zhang Xiangbei ate the pancakes and asked Zhang Xiangxi:

"You do not want?"

Zhang Xiangxi shook his head, pointed at his two missing front teeth and said, "I already have bad teeth."

Everyone laughed. Zhang Xiangxi finished a glass of milk, holding the eggs that her grandmother had peeled for her, and walked over to look at Zhang Xiangbei's watch and shouted:

"Beibei, Beibei, this is terrible, the needle has reached here, we are already late."

Zhang Xiangbei said to her: "Did you see that there is a long needle and a short needle? If the short needle comes here, we will be late."

Zhang Xiangxi let out a long breath, then became worried again and shouted: "But the short needle is almost here."

"No." Zhang Xiangbei said, "The short needle moves very slowly. The long needle goes around a circle, and the short needle goes from here to here, walking such a small grid."

Zhang Xiangxi was thoughtful. She turned around and went upstairs. After a while, she came down with her schoolbag and said to Zhang Xiangbei:

"Beibei, let me tell you, your watch is not high-end at all."

Zhang Xiangbei asked: "What kind of high-end watch is that?"

Zhang Xiangxi took out his Disney children's digital watch from his schoolbag and said to Zhang Xiangbei:

"I have a high-end watch. Did you see it? It's a 7, two o'clock, and a 36. It's already 7:36. You can tell at a glance."

Zhang Xiangbei teased her: "It's true, yours is really high-end. Can you give me such a high-end watch?"

Zhang Xiangxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll put it on for you, Beibei."

Zhang Xiangbei held the chopsticks in his right hand, holding some fried fish. He stretched out his left hand. Zhang Xiangxi took off his watch and put his own watch on Zhang Xiangbei. His mouth was flattened and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he was reluctant to part with it. Zhang Xiangbei said quickly:

"Xixi, you should wear this high-end watch yourself. I am an adult, and adults all wear low-end watches."

"Why do adults wear low-end watches?" Zhang Xiangxi asked.

Zhang Xiangbei said: "Look at your grandparents, as well as your parents, do they all wear low-end watches? In our family, only Xixi is the most advanced and wears high-end watches."

"But, but, I think Beibei is also high-end." Zhang Xiangxi still said, already holding the watch in his hand.

"Did the teacher ask you to take care of the children in the middle and primary classes?" Zhang Xiangbei said, "Xixi is younger than me. If I don't take care of Xixi and snatch Xixi's high-end watch to wear, will the teacher criticize me?"

Zhang Xiangxi thought for a moment and felt that this was a good reason. She put the watch on her hand, patted Zhang Xiangbei, and said to him:

"Don't worry, Beibei, I will go and tell the teacher that Beibei loves Xixi very much."

Zhang Xiangbei stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two people walked to the door. Zhang Xiangxi patted Zhang Xiangbei's butt and shouted: "Beibei, Beibei."

Zhang Xiangbei understood and asked: "Only for the short distance to the car, do you have to ride on your shoulders?"

Zhang Xiangxi nodded desperately.

Zhang Xiangbei squatted down, and Zhang Xiangxi giggled and climbed onto his shoulders.

Send Zhang Xiangxi to the gate of the kindergarten. The gate of the kindergarten is open, and many parents have sent their children. Zhang Xiangxi laughed when he saw it, and said to Zhang Xiangbei:

"Beibei, we are not late at all today."

Zhang Xiangbei held Zhang Xiangxi's hand and walked towards the door. Zhang Xiangxi shouted to the children he knew along the way:

"Le Jiaying, let me tell you, this is my brother Beibei."

"Hong Mengkai, do you see this? This is my brother Beibei. Do you still dare to bully me?"

Zhang Xiangbei was a little embarrassed and could only keep smiling and nodding to the parents of these children.

Arriving at the gate of the kindergarten, parents were not allowed to go in. Zhang Xiangxi waved to Zhang Xiangbei, Zhang Xiangbei bent down, Zhang Xiangxi hooked Zhang Xiangbei's neck, kissed him on the cheek, walked to the gate, and looked When the teacher stood at the door to greet them, Zhang Xiangxi shouted:

"Teacher Ma, look, that's Beibei, my brother. It was Beibei who sent me here today. He was not late."

Zhang Xiangbei stood there, waving goodbye to Zhang Xiangxi, looking a little dazed. The kindergarten building has been expanded and the playground has been renovated, but the gate is still the same as when he and Xiangnan went to kindergarten here. It’s just that these teachers, he I don’t recognize anyone anymore.

Standing here, memories flooded back to him. He and Xiang Nan walked in and out of this gate every day, as if it was yesterday. But in fact, they had been away from here for almost twenty years.

Zhang Xiangbei drove the car. He wanted to drive faster and get to the office quickly. He sat down and stared at the computer in front of him. Nine o'clock this morning was the time when "Daily Fresh" went online. Zhang Xiangbei wanted to watch this carefully. How did the opponent reveal its true face from the chaos, and then the sword clanged.

Zhang Xiangbei was anxious, but he took off the accelerator a little and slowed down the car. He deliberately wanted to appear less panicked and pretended to be calm. He murmured to himself over and over again, "Why are you in a hurry?" Whether "Daily Fresh" comes or not, "Home Fresh Delivery" is still "Home Fresh Delivery". The best way to compete with your competitors is to be yourself.

It's nothing, it's really nothing. As long as you run fast enough, others can only be followers. As long as you do well enough, others can only lag behind. Zhang Xiangbei, don't worry, it's really nothing.

With Zhang Xiangbei thinking like this, the car slowed down even more. The car behind him became anxious and honked his horn to urge him. A car passed him from the side and pressed down the window and turned around and cursed: "Liu'er!"

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and thought to himself that one of the basic skills to do well is to make yourself look like a fool, like a "six son" and a "timeless ghost". You will do things that others are not willing to do. , you will do things that others think are not worth doing. When everyone is looking for shortcuts and want to fly, you are honestly walking your own path.

Zhang Xiangbei parked his car in the parking lot. It was already 8:56. He walked to the door of the company. He was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he stood there, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk inside.

When Zhang Xiangbei arrived on the second floor, he immediately felt a different atmosphere than usual, a tense atmosphere, and even the air seemed to start to solidify.

All the people in the service center were sitting there, staring at the computers in front of them. At nine o'clock in the morning, it was their freest time. Everyone was sitting loosely. At this time, most people in the units had just gone to work. Many people are stuck on the road, and there are not many people looking for them on the phone or online.

But now, everyone here straightened their backs and sat upright, as if waiting for something.

Zhang Xiangbei knew what they were waiting for. When he walked over, everyone turned to look at him, like a line of soldiers, waiting for the commander's review before departure.

Someone called softly: "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Xiangbei nodded, smiled, raised his hands towards them, and walked over.

Zhang Xiangbei walked into the corridor and saw Wu Huan, Wu Yue and Li Wei standing side by side in the corridor at the door of the conference room, waiting for him. When Zhang Xiangbei walked towards them, Wu Huan raised his wrist. He looked at his watch.

Zhang Xiangbei smiled and said, "What, I'm late?"

"No, there's still one minute." Wu Huan said.

"I sent Zhang Xiangxi to kindergarten." When Zhang Xiangbei explained, he suddenly felt that he was very much like Zhang Xiangxi saying:

"Teacher Ma, look, that's Beibei, my brother. It was Beibei who sent me here today. He was not late."

Zhang Xiangbei couldn't help but laugh again. He felt that his smile was very superficial, hanging on his face in vain, and would float away soon.

Wu Huan sighed: "You are so calm."

"Really?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.
