The Pentium Era - South to North

Darkness has completely fallen, and the surrounding mountains have sunk into darkness.

Far away from the town, there was no light on the ground. The starry sky outside the observation shed was densely covered with stars. The stars looked big and close. Zhang Chen thought to himself, it would be great if there were no pine branches above his head. Such a starry sky made him feel like he had returned to the sea. City, back to the night when he was sitting alone in front of Lao Xie's factory.

The stars of that night must still be there today, but the people looking at the stars seem to have changed the world. Zhang Chen is no longer the same Zhang Chen, and the night is no longer that night.

Zhang Chen turned on the camping light. Immediately, the bugs around him flew towards them as if they had received a rally call. The bugs hit their faces and bodies. There were so many bugs that they almost completely blocked the light of the camping light. .

Tan Shuzhen quickly shouted: "Turn it off, turn it off."

Zhang Chen immediately turned off the light, but it was too late. Without the light, many bugs lost their direction and goals and scattered randomly. However, the gnats attracted by the light discovered that there was actually delicious food here. How could they be willing to do so? Leave and buzz around the two of them.

"Unlucky!" Zhang Chen cursed.

"You're asking for trouble!" Tan Shuzhen said.

"No, no, we have to go down and lure them away first," Zhang Chen said.

Tan Shuzhen said yes.

The two people climbed down from the shed. Fortunately, they were already familiar with the place on the top of the mountain. Zhang Chen turned on the flashlight and the two people walked to the other side of the observation shed. The buzzing sound followed them all the time. After they walked more than 20 meters, Zhang Chen turned off the light, and then the two of them ran back together, climbed up in front of the observation shed, and felt that the buzzing sound was indeed gone, and the two of them laughed proudly.

The wind on the top of the mountain was a bit cool, but it was just right. Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen were facing each other, sitting and chatting with their backs against the tree trunks behind them.

It was still early and neither of them were sleepy yet. Zhang Chen looked at his watch and saw that it was only about nine o'clock. At this time, if he were in Hangzhou, Tan Shuzhen would still be in the store. Zhang Chen didn't know where she would be, but she must still be there. Didn't go home.

After getting used to the dark night, my eyes have been able to adapt to everything around me. The dark valley no longer looks so dark. It seems that there is white mist rising from the valley. In the distance, there is a spark moving on the Fuchun River. , they knew that it must be a small fishing boat, lowering the net in the river.

Because there is a Fuchun River Hydropower Station downstream and a Xin'an River Hydropower Station upstream. Although the water surface of this river is open, its shipping has been completely interrupted. When Zhang Chen and the others were young, there were still passenger ships from Lanxi to Yongcheng. Now, everyone They all took cars, and even the passenger ships had stopped.

Every day, except for a few tourist boats from Yongcheng to Yanziling fishing platform and Hulu Waterfall, there are no other large ships on this river. At this time, except for a few small hand-operated fishing boats, there will be nothing else. Boat.

When Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen chatted, they would naturally talk about the troupe. They talked about the night when Captain Yang escaped in Cangnan, Wenzhou. From that day on, the troupe seemed to have been in a semi-disbanded state. Before that, although it was difficult to survive, they were still a group and had normal performances and rehearsals. Since then, there has been no more.

There is just that every time before the Yongcheng Summer Art Festival comes, there will be a month of tossing like a shofar, and then everything will be as usual.

"Now that I think about it, it's not easy for Lao Yang." Zhang Chen said, "The leader is just like the leader of the Beggar Clan. He leads so many people to make a living. He is worse than the leader of the Beggar Clan. The leader can still give orders." , knows everything, Lao Yang, who takes him seriously?"

"Yeah, think about it at that time. Although I was poor, I was actually quite happy and carefree. When I got up every day, I just thought about the performance in the evening. There was no need to think about anything else. Lao Yang would think that although the food was poor, every day I can still eat enough, and I really don’t have any worries at all," Tan Shuzhen said.

Zhang Chen nodded in the darkness and asked, "Do you know what happened to Lao Yang later?"

"It's not that good. I came back. When I met him that time, he went to work as the deputy director of some factory in Longquan. He kept selling me some cultural kiln. Why do I want that thing?"

"From that night in Cangnan to today, it has only been five or six years. So many things have happened in these five or six years. What saddens me the most is that this time, something happened to Xiao Wu." Zhang Chen said, " When we were in the troupe, when Xiao Wu and the others were children, their relationship was not that good, but after Xiao Wu went to Haicheng, the feeling was different, he was no longer a child, but a brother."

"Zhang Chen, let me ask you something." Tan Shuzhen said.

"Okay, you ask."

"Weren't you sad when you and Jin Lili broke up?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"Sad, but not as sad as this time."

"Why?"

"That's a process. Do you understand, Tan Shuzhen, that's a long process." Zhang Chen thought, and said slowly: "Before we broke up, I already had a premonition that we would break up, and even vaguely Yueyue is already ready to break up, so when it comes to breaking up, it will be very sad, but the sadness will be temporary, short-lived, and acceptable..."

"I know, this time is indeed too sudden, and I still don't know what will happen next." Tan Shuzhen said.

"Yes." Zhang Chen nodded.

"Zhang Chen, why did you and Jin Lili break up?"

"It's hard to describe in words."

"I see."

Zhang Chen asked curiously: "What do you understand?"

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said: "I understand it's hard to explain in words, but it's good to be like this now. Xiao Zhao is very suitable for you."

Zhang Chen smiled and asked, "Tan Shuzhen, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, but I may not answer." Tan Shuzhen said.

"Cunning." Zhang Chen cursed.

Tan Shuzhen laughed: "Zhang Chen, do you know that I am cunning now?"

"I knew it earlier, but I didn't know it would be so cunning."

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask them."

"Why didn't you go to Hainan with us?"

"My parents wouldn't let me go. They blocked the door and wouldn't let me out. You were down there, you must have heard it, right? I even threw the note down."

"I saw it. You wrote on the note that you should leave first. That means you will come again. But later, why didn't you come?"

"I want to come." Tan Shuzhen was silent for a while, raised her head, looked at Zhang Chen in the darkness, and asked, "Zhang Chen, I said I wanted to go to Hainan, do you believe it?"

"I believe what you said."

"Thank you! But I have no way to go."

"Why?"

"I don't even know where you are." Tan Shuzhen said quietly, "Zhang Chen, I ran to your house three times and asked my uncle and aunt for your address in Haicheng. They said they didn't know where you were either. , you didn’t write a letter or call back. Zhang Chen, tell me, how do I get there? Where can I find you when I get to Haicheng?”

Zhang Chen understood that when Tan Shuzhen went to his home, he and Liu Ligan were riding broken bicycles every day to find jobs. They encountered obstacles everywhere and almost went to the Danzhou farm to plant rubber. How could they be in the mood to contact their families? The first time I contacted my family was after I arrived at Brother Tan’s company, but——

"That's not right, Tan Shuzhen. I sent you a postcard when I knew that Zhuangzi had arrived in Hai'an. When we arrived in Haicheng, we found a place to live, and Zhuangzi wrote to you. Later, when he found a job, he wrote to you again. You wrote a lot of letters, but I don’t know if he made an appointment with you in the letters. During the Spring Festival that year, he went to the airport every day to wait for you," Zhang Chen said.

"I didn't receive it, Zhang Chen. I didn't receive any of the letters you mentioned. I told the pole too."

Tan Shuzhen did not receive these letters, but she had read all of them. It was after she and Feng Laogui had received the certificate and the new house had been decorated. That day, she took Feng Laogui's room in Wu Opera Troupe from Feng Laogui. He said he was going to help Feng Laogui sort out his things and ask a few kids to move them to the Yue Opera Troupe.

Tan Shuzhen found a paper box in the corner under the bed in Feng Laogui's room. When she opened it, she saw that it was full of letters written by Liu Ligan to herself. Tan Shuzhen sat on the ground and cried while reading. Only then did she know why Feng Laogui Sitting in the office so diligently every day, it turns out that he is just waiting for the postman to come.

Tan Shuzhen felt her hands and feet were cold.

Feng Laogui and the troupe's electrician were installing wires at home. They were probably too excited and got dizzy. After Tan Shuzhen left for an hour and still didn't come back, he thought of something, his heart trembled, and he jumped off the ladder. Just run to Wu Opera Troupe.

Feng Laogui pushed open the door of his room and saw Tan Shuzhen sitting on the ground, with an open cardboard box next to her and an open letter on the floor.

Tan Shuzhen looked at him and smiled. Tan Shuzhen said: "Old noble, since you are going to do it, why don't you do it thoroughly and burn all these letters? If it's over, why are you still here?"

The raw rice has been cooked. They went on and followed the established guidelines. The wedding was carried out and the banquet was arranged. But after that, Feng Laogui felt that there was still a distance between himself and Tan Shuzhen. From that day on, they became even more distant. Became two strangers on the same bed.

Tan Shuzhen had no way to tell Liu Ligan that it was Feng Laogui who took your letter. She knew something would happen.

Tan Shuzhen, like today, had no way to tell Zhang Chen that it was Feng Laogui who took Liu Ligan's letter, but she was still afraid of something happening.

Zhang Chen believed Tan Shuzhen. If she said she didn't receive it, she definitely didn't receive it. Zhang Chen thought to himself, with the troupe being such a jerk, the postman probably didn't even bother to deliver the letter. Even if he did, those brats would throw it away as garbage.

"Tan Shuzhen, there is something, can you tell me the truth?" Zhang Chen asked.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Is there still a possibility for you and the pole?" Zhang Chen asked, "I know the pole, but I still have you in my heart."

"Then, I beg him to forgive me for my betrayal of him?" Tan Shuzhen sneered.

"Well, I don't think the pole will have such a requirement."

"Not now, what about in the future? Who knows what will happen in the future. What will he think when he looks at Nannan every day?"

"Don't he like Nan Nan very much?"

"Zhang Chen, do you think it's possible to like my and Feng Laogui's daughter?" Tan Shuzhen said with a smile, "If he showed disgust, it would be more true, and I would trust him more."

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment. He had indeed never asked Liu Ligan about this.

Tan Shuzhen looked at the other side and said: "Zhang Chen, I can say it again what I told you. I don't like to make things so complicated. It's good as it is now. Nan Nan no longer has a father. I want to give her a father." A perfect and complete mom, that’s what I want.”
