To this day, Liang Zhen still remembers the first time he introduced his hometown to others.At that time, Liang Zhen was as old as Gao Yunxiao now, and went to Beijing with his father who was in business. *** They went together, and soon someone with a camera on their back asked them if they wanted to take pictures.

The seven-year-old Liang Zhen already has a lot of personality, and he doesn't like this kind of stereotyped portraits of landscapes and people.But that photo can be washed out on the spot, Xiaoliang really wants to have a tangible photo with his father as soon as possible, so he listens to the photographer's command to give a thumbs up or compare hands with scissors.Later, when taking the photo, the person who took the photo politely asked where Liang Zhen was from, and Liang Zhen said that he and his father were from Lanzhou.

"Lanzhou," Liang Zhen remembered the tone of the man's voice, "Lanzhou ramen is Lanzhou."

When I heard this sentence, Liang Zhen actually wanted to refute. He wanted to say that Lanzhou is not Lanzhou Ramen, but Lanzhou Beef Noodles. It is Lanzhou with the Yellow River, Zhongshan Bridge and Baita Mountain. These authentic symbols and symbols Liang Zhen can say It lasted three days and three nights, but Liang Zhen couldn't tell everyone about the past in three days and three nights.Before Song Dongye's "Miss Dong" became popular, many people mentioned Lanzhou. The impression and label of this city were not authentic ramen.

And when Liang Zhen really walked out of Lanzhou, he met people from all over the country, and he also found that this kind of trouble belongs to every city.Compared with the manhole covers that can't be stolen in Henan, the coal that can't be dug in Shanxi, Putian is more aj and ugg than the genuine ones, and the Jiangnan leather factory in Wenzhou... Lanzhou ramen is neither derogatory nor praiseworthy, at least it will not cause map guns to blackmail the region.

But not all cities are lucky enough. For example, Wenling next door to Wenzhou, no matter how deeply the locals of Wenling have feelings for this city, people outside the city may just say this name after racking their brains after thinking about it——

Eh?The Wenling you come from is the Wenling where the medical trouble caused the Premier of the State Council to issue important instructions?

Such stereotypes also exist in Baiyin. When people mention silver, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not its rich mineral deposits, but a serial murder case that has been unsolved for more than 20 years. When the truth finally came to light, it was pushed to the forefront by public opinion Of course it was the murderer surnamed Gao.

"At that time, many reports said that the serial murderer was a demon," Gao Yunxiao said, "Then I also heard the old man say...that they are all surnamed Gao, and it may be related, saying..."

Gao Yunxiao couldn't continue, even though the old man outside the interrogation room repeatedly stated that even if he said it, he didn't mean it, but his gossip after dinner really hurt the precocious and sensitive heart of this young man who left home since childhood.

"You said you..." Zhao Baogang was the only person present who was about the same age as the old man, and he was the only one who said some things that were appropriate, "If you went to another place 30 or [-] years ago and told others where you came from, they would just say it and do it You feel good about the Wenzhou of bridal shoes? You have almost the same surname in your village, if something happens to one of them, when others scold him, they will say something about you, do you feel good?"

"But I really didn't slap..." the old man wanted to refute, but his face slowly turned red. Under the gaze of others, he shook his head and changed his words, "I just slapped it down, and I didn't expect it." It hit him in the face."

"Did you really hit my brother?" Gao Yunge, who had been silent all this time, also spoke, and stepped forward impulsively, but was stopped by another policeman, hoping that he would calm down.

"My parents rented here when they came to Wenzhou to work 20 years ago, and my younger brother also lived here since he was a child," Gao Yunge said with a trembling voice, "Old man, how can you do that?"

"That's because he pulled the rope first!" The old man said loudly, "If he doesn't pull the rope, I can be so angry that I can beat him—"

"stop fighting!"

Shao Mingyin stood directly opposite the big window in the interrogation room. When he said those three words, he didn't take his eyes off Liang Zhen and Gao Yunxiao. Some colleagues felt that the situation was almost clear, and they were about to open the door. Everyone called out, but Shao Mingyin stopped him.

"Wait a little longer," Shao Mingyin looked at the person in the interrogation room, "Wait a little longer, they haven't finished talking yet."

Liang Zhen and Gao Yunxiao did not finish their chat. Gao Yunxiao and Liang Zhen, who opened the conversation, told why his parents came to Wenzhou to work, and how they lost their ability to work due to work-related injuries.His parents' generation hadn't caught up with the rectification. His father was crushed by an injection molding machine in a small factory without a labor agreement, and his mother suffered from blood disease because of working with glue in the workshop all year round. 20 years ago, they were ordinary like every foreigner who came to Wenzhou to work. They left their hometowns and sold their labor at the cost of their health. Like small workshops, they were eliminated and forgotten.

"Now my brother is the only one earning money at home. He is really working hard." Gao Yunxiao stopped crying, and tried to hold back, "So I really can't hear people say that about my brother, and I can't stand him saying that. Baiyin, as if I am a Baiyin person, I am inferior to others, I..."

Gao Yunxiao suddenly paused because he thought of other experiences: "Every time I go to school, I take the bus by myself. Once a local man came up and chatted with the driver in Mandarin, and suddenly asked why he didn't speak Wenzhou dialect. I knew they were joking, but when the local said, 'Why are they all from Wenzhou speaking Mandarin', when they started speaking Wenzhou dialect, I listened, and I knew that I would never be able to integrate into this city for the rest of my life."

When Gao Yunxiao finally confided his thoughts, Liang Zhen could somewhat understand Gao Yunge's indifference to Song Zhou at that moment—he had no sense of belonging to the city like his younger brother, how should he let go of his guard against the people in this city Woolen cloth.

"It doesn't matter if you don't get in or not," Liang Zhen comforted him, "After you finish reading, you can return to Baiyin."

But Gao Yunxiao shook his head: "But silver is not good."

Liang Zhenyi sneered: "How can you say that your hometown is not good."

"Baiyin is really not good," Gao Yunxiao said, "The mining is gone, the harvest is confiscated, and those who can go out to work have left, otherwise my parents would not come to Wenzhou. My brother said that the silver economy is not good, and the school is not good. Let me study hard in Wenzhou, and he wants me to become a college student."

Gao Yunxiao said: "We can't return Baiyin, we can't return Baiyin."

When the place called hometown really becomes a distant place that cannot be returned, not just Wenzhou, they go to any city, they are all foreigners without belonging.

"I did pull the rope." Gao Yunxiao said this very calmly, even his eyes were not so red, "He first talked about my brother and then Bai Yin. I wanted to take revenge on him. When he found out, he slapped me ,That's it."

"You all heard it, right?" The old man outside finally breathed a sigh of relief, but no one was happy with him. Everyone continued to look into the interrogation room without saying a word, listening to Liang Zhen and Gao Yunxiao said, Baiyin is very good, and Baiyin can go back.

"Baiyin is not only famous for that murder case," Liang Zhen smiled at Gao Yunxiao.Shao Mingyin felt that smile was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Liang Zhen asked: "Do you know that there is a singer named Zhang Weiwei?"

Gao Yunxiao shook his head, he had never heard of it.

"Then you know today," Liang Zhen took out his phone, opened NetEase Cloud, and showed Gao Yunxiao Zhang Weiwei's playlist.

"Many people know that Zhang Weiwei is because of "Midian", but few people pay attention to it. The album on which this song is included is called "Silver Hotel." Liang Zhen still smiled, "Zhang Weiwei is from Baiyin."

Liang Zhen didn't wear earphones, so he directly clicked on the speaker, and the song "Silver Hotel" was also transmitted from the indoor to the outdoor through the device, and it reached everyone's ears.Liang Zhen and Gao Yunxiao were very close, looking at the lyrics of the song shoulder to shoulder. After one song was over, the next song on the list was "Xiu Shui Street".

Silk Street in Silver.

The sun rises on this street, and the stars are leaving on this street.When Xiushui Street in Gao Yunxiao's memory coincided with Zhang Weiwei's singing, the future of him who came from this street in this city was also unknown.

The sky on this street was clear, and the people passing by were crying tears of happiness. The people outside the interrogation room had never been to Baiyin except Gao Yunge, but when Zhang Weiwei sang "Let's go here..." over the guitar, they seemed to be I can see the Silk Street, see that they are brand new nobles, and they have come to another golden world.

"It's awesome," Liang Zhen clicked on the loop before the song finished playing, and the current guitar sounded again, Liang Zhen said: "Baiyin has Zhang Weiwei."

"Wenzhou has never had such a song or singer," Liang Zhen stroked Gao Yunxiao's hair again, "Although it shouldn't be compared, Baiyin is really a good Baiyin."

Liang Zhendao: "Gao Yunxiao from Baiyin is also a very good Gao Yunxiao."

Gao Yunxiao suddenly cried, not just tears, but out loud.He was only seven after all, and he was crying so hysterically.Liang Zhen gave him a hug, and when he patted him on the back, Liang Zhen asked him, do you know bridal shoes?

"You told him?" Zhao Baogang asked Shao Mingyin outside the interrogation room.

Shao Mingyin shook his head, he didn't even know what bridal shoes were.

"Stereotypes and prejudices are really helpless things. To be honest, Wenzhou's previous labels were not good." Liang Zhen said the story slowly, "There are so many mountains in Zhejiang, and the roads did not cover the countryside. Son, to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to walk over the mountains. At that time, there was a bride who bought high-heeled wedding shoes in Wenzhou. After climbing a mountain, the heel fell off. One can imagine how poor the quality of Wenzhou shoes was at that time. But now such voices are getting smaller and smaller, because now Wenzhou and Wenzhou's industry are getting better and better, because Wenzhou people are hardworking enough, they work as bosses during the day and sleep on the floor at night. The small fishing village in Wenzhou became the present Wenzhou.”

Liang Zhen supported the little friend in his arms, wiped away his tears, and asked him, "You must be a king of kids in school and in that village, otherwise there wouldn't be so many kids willing to help you."

Gao Yunxiao sniffled and did not deny it.

"You are really nice, smart and flexible. As you said just now, your brother kept you in Wenzhou because of the good education here, and he wanted you to excel," Liang Zhen encouraged him. If you put it in your studies, you will be excellent in the future, so good that one day when people mention Baiyin, they will say that Baiyin has produced Zhang Weiwei, and Baiyin has produced Gao Yunxiao."

Liang Zhen said: "That's the rope you should pull. It's not out of revenge, but to prove to them that you and your city are no worse than anyone else's."

Liang Zhendao: "You can't control other people's stereotypes of your city, but when you are dazzling enough, others will change their prejudices about your city because of you."

Gao Yunxiao was moved, he asked Liang Zhen: "Will this day come?"

"Of course," Liang Zhen affirmed, "so don't dislike your hometown. It is the golden world sung in the song. It is your root and your eternal destination."

"Then..." Gao Yunxiao asked thoughtlessly, "Then will you go back? Lanzhou, will you go back too?"

Liang Zhen didn't answer, just turned his head to look at the big black glass, and didn't know if he had met that person's eyes, but he knew that person must be looking at him.

Shao Mingyin was indeed looking at him, and had been looking at him all the time.The answer about going back is also what Shao Mingyin wants to know, it is Lanzhou that Liang Zhen loves to the core, and Liang Zhen always wants to go back.

Liang Zhen is still so young now, but fallen leaves always return to their roots. When he finishes his studies and his music career goes well, the hometown where he was born and raised is what Liang Zhen wants. If Liang Zhen must go back, he If we can't be together, he will bless you too.

"I'll go back, Lanzhou."

Shao Mingyin looked up at the bright ceiling illuminated by incandescent lamps. After his eyes became sore without blinking, he still heard Liang Zhen's words that he would go back. The overflow in his heart overturned the assumption just now.

When every bit of the past clearly emerges and gathers into Liang Zhen in front of him today, the day he knows there is a real difference, when he faces Liang Zhen, he will definitely not even say polite blessings.

Then he heard Liang Zhen say a but.

When he turned his attention to the young man in the interrogation room again, he heard the young man answer the wrong question, but I met that man in Wenzhou.

Liang Zhen said: "Unless I bring him back, I won't go back to Lanzhou either."

He smiled lightly, and only Shao Mingyin could understand those rambling soliloquies.

"He is my bond in Wenzhou, and he is my other hometown."

"Cough, cough—" Zhao Baogang's cough broke the long silence outside the interrogation room, and after asking another policeman to knock on the door, he whispered in Shao Mingyin's ear, what the young man said was quite reasonable.

Then Liang Zhen and Gao Yunxiao came out. It was Gao Yunxiao who apologized to the old man first. The old man was getting old, but this time he said sorry to Gao Yunxiao, and he didn't show any reluctance.Zhao Baogang was still curious, so he couldn't help asking Liang Zhen how he knew about Wenzhou stories like bridal shoes, which only the older generation knew. I did, and I saw this story when I checked the information before.

"Boss, I have someone who is serious about studying," Liang Zhen said while nodding himself, as well-behaved as seeing an old man.Zhao Baogang didn't give any comments, but ordered other policemen on duty to send Brother Gao Yunxiao and the old man back.As for Shao Mingyin, he was already off work, but Zhao Baogang urged him to go home and rest.

Seeing that Liang Zhen was following Shao Mingyin in a dizzy manner, and then turned around and waved goodbye to him after going out, Zhao Baogang waved his hand to tell them to go back, although he also hesitated.

Seeing the director's reaction, Liang Zhen expected that he was not so ignorant in the director's heart. After sitting happily in the co-driver, Shao Mingyin was also in the car. After inserting the key, he held it for a long time. Did not start the car.

"What's the matter?" Liang Zhen leaned over to touch Shao Mingyin's hand, and Shao Mingyin grabbed his hand immediately.Before Liang Zhen had time to be happy, Shao Mingyin raised his arms to wrap his arms around his back.

"You are so proactive today," Liang Zhen also hugged him, reluctant to let go.

"Don't touch that part of your back all the time." Liang Zhen felt the movement of Shao Mingyin's hand, "I just pretended to show that child. It hurt when I just dropped it. If you don't believe me, go home and watch." Look, it's definitely not blue."

Liang Zhen's tone was really relaxed, like a normal person, which made Shao Mingyin's voice very low in comparison. He asked Liang Zhen, why are you so stupid?

Why are you so stupid, just pounced on me and protected me.

"I would be a fool if I didn't protect you." Liang Zhen hugged him even tighter, "It's a good thing you didn't get that hoe, otherwise I'd be so heartbroken."

He felt Shao Mingyin's shoulder tremble, and Liang Zhen supported his shoulder so that their foreheads touched.Shao Mingyin didn't speak, but gritted his teeth until his cheeks bulged slightly. Liang Zhen felt very distressed when he saw such a depressed Shao Mingyin, so he kissed Shao Mingyin on the lips.

He asked Shao Mingyin, shall we go home?

"I put the unfinished meal yesterday in the refrigerator." When Liang Zhen came out, he saw that Shao Mingyin hadn't touched the bowl of instant noodles. "When I get home, I will scramble eggs and fried rice for you, and the eggs are poured directly into the rice. , super fragrant!"

He pinched Shao Mingyin's face, and he called Shao Mingyin's name.

"Shao Mingyin, let's go home."

Liang Zhen drove the car that night, and Shao Mingyin sat in the passenger seat.Every time Liang Zhen turned his head to look at Shao Mingyin, the posture he kept reminded Liang Zhen of the night when he first sent Shao Mingyin home, on the co-pilot of the gt4, Shao Mingyin was also leaning sideways on the car door with his head tilted. Leaning there crookedly, I don't know what to look at.

But now they are in an old Santana. After driving to the community, they entered the one-bedroom house together. Liang Zhen made fried rice with eggs in three steps, and he also washed the dishes after eating.It was not until they were lying on the bed together that Shao Mingyin called his name and thanked him.

Liang Zhen didn't know exactly what Shao Mingyin was thanking, but he knew it vaguely.He just laughed, and the hand that was just around the waist of the other party started to touch down, Shao Mingyin hit his hand, and after such a fight, both of them laughed wantonly.When their lips touched again, Liang Zhen thanked Shao Mingyin again when he heard Shao Mingyin.

Thanks for being here.

That night Shao Mingyin slept peacefully like never before, and it was from that night that he really bid farewell to insomnia and light sleep.He still has dreams. In the dream of the song "Xiu Shui Street", Zhang Weiwei is singing that yesterday has passed, and tomorrow will come, let's sing it here, another golden world.

And he and Liang Zhen who is hugging him are in today's Wenzhou, which is also their golden world.
