14 years time difference

hum-

It seems that I haven't heard such an alarm clock sound for many years.It is not the electronically synthesized sound from the mobile phone, but the knocking sound of the mechanical principle, vibrating rapidly, buzzing, noisy and annoying.Like the early morning in middle school, accompanied by the yelling of the mother outside the house, and then reluctantly getting up, washing, changing clothes, sitting down at the dining table, and being stared at drinking a whole glass of milk.The boiled eggs on the table have been peeled, the steamed buns have been torn off the bottom paper, and the sky outside is warm.

Lin Zhique opened his eyes.

The curtains were not drawn properly, and a ray of sunlight was shining on her eyelids.

On the bedside table, the old-fashioned alarm clock was still shaking desperately and making loud noises.She picked it up, and fumbled for its switch after a long while.

This alarm clock is not hers, not the one with a pair of kitten ears that her mother bought her when she was a child, but a black round alarm clock with the most common style.

This is not East China, but Jincheng. She is at the home of her grandparents on Meixi South Road.

Someone is knocking on the door.Then, the door opened, and a head poked in.

Dusi said softly, "You're awake."

Lin Zhique rubbed her hair and smelled the smell of alcohol and tobacco from the nightclub, "Is this alarm clock yours?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Du Siren nodded, "I'm afraid you overslept." She smiled obediently, "Do you want to have breakfast?"

Lin Zhique lay down, "No." She closed her eyes.She doesn't want to eat spicy noodles, spicy chaoshou and spicy tofu nao.

I drank too much wine last night, and my stomach seemed to be on fire.All night long, dreams weighed heavily on her sleep.

Dusi seemed to understand her heart: "It's not spicy, go eat some. You drank a lot last night."

The hour hand on the alarm clock pointed to nine o'clock, and there were birds singing outside the window. Dusi walked into the room, opened the curtains a little, leaned out from the window, and said, "Here is a pair of little birds that were born two months ago." Come." She whistled a few times, "Morning, bird neighbors."

Lin Zhique slowly got up from the bed and walked behind Du Siren. She glanced sleepily at the ginkgo tree outside the window where there was a small nest of birds perched on a pair of black-winged and white-belly birds.

"That's a magpie. It's very ferocious. It can peck people's eyes blind." She said lightly and went straight to wash.

Du Siren retracted silently and closed the window tightly.

Meixi South Road is located in the south of Meixi. Meixi is a shallow and narrow winding ditch. The embankments on both sides are built with guardrails and paved with bricks for the sidewalk. Ribbon.

They came out of the house, walked along the road to the stream and reached the head of Meixi bridge. After crossing the bridge, there was a vegetable market. Meixi and a whole area of ​​low buildings formed a narrow but long road. The side of the embankment is full of stalls selling melons, fruits and vegetables, and on the left are buildings, one next to the other, with rice, flour, grain and oil, meat stalls, fish stalls, breakfast shops, and mending shoes.The cart with the wok is almost placed on the side of the road, and a few folded low tables are set up around it.When they passed by, the stall owner was frying in a hot wok, and the spicy oily fumes choked Lin Zhique to tears. Du Siren walked ahead and turned around to make fun of her.Du Siren was too tall, Lin Zhique needed to raise her eyes to look at her, it was a sunny day, when she raised her eyes, the morning light at nine o'clock in the morning formed a straight line with the top of Du Siren's head, dazzled her eyes.Her stomach was still hot, but the sun made her whole body warm. Du Siren's footsteps were slow, and she followed slowly. flow away.

Du Siren took her to a breakfast shop selling soy milk and fried dough sticks.They sat at a small dirty table by the side of the road and ordered two bowls of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and a small steamed bun.In addition to the vinegar bottle, there are chili oil, chili powder and chopped chili on the table.Lin Zhique took out a few pieces of rough paper that the shop put on the table, wiped the table, and silently pushed the peppers towards the Dusi people.

The Dusi people smiled and asked for credit: "How is it? Is this the taste of your place?"

The boss brought up two large enamel bowls, and the steaming milky white soy milk was almost overflowing. The aroma of beans was mellow, rich and attractive.

Du Siren said again: "Every year my sister-in-law and my niece come here, they like to eat breakfast here." She blinked her sincere round eyes, "Try it."

Lin Zhique was speechless, so he lowered his head to blow on the hot air of the soy milk, took a spoonful and drank it, it was warm, and the taste was smooth and thick.She asked, "Then will they come soon?"

"No, usually only during winter and summer vacations."

The Dusi people tore the hot crispy fritters into small pieces and placed them on the stainless steel plate in front of her.

In the summer vacation of 2005, which is just a few months away, besides Tang Li and Du Zhian, Jincheng also has an unexpected visitor—13-year-old Lin Zhique.

Lin Zhique squinted at Du Siren's bulging cheeks. She seemed to be sending a text message. Her thumb was stained with oil, so she pressed the keys one by one with her ring finger very slowly on her Ericsson mobile phone with an orange border and a white keyboard. .She also ate slowly, chewing carefully for a long time without swallowing. Every time Lin Zhique raised his eyes, he could see her keeping the exact same chewing frequency as before, pressing the phone key by key.

Lin Zhique raised her head and called the boss: "Is there any sugar?" She thought the soy milk was not sweet enough.The boss brought a can of white sugar, scooped up a whole tablespoon, and asked her if it was enough?She nodded, and shook the whole spoonful into the bowl.

People from Dusi said: "If you eat something so sweet, you will get tooth decay."

Lin Zhique said: "Chewing for so long, the cheeks will become bigger."

Then, every time Lin Zhique raised his eyes, he saw Du Siren chewing slowly, and quietly raised his hand to touch his cheek.

She asked Du Siren why Chen Yiran didn't come to see her dance last night.Du Siren replied disapprovingly, why is he here?Rolling his eyes, he asked her a little shyly, "How is my dancing?"

Lin Zhique thought for a while, "I don't remember." Her memory was only a few fragments, mainly the blue-purple lights that kept flashing.She also thought of the girl with rivet boots who sat in the store all afternoon. When they left, she walked past them, leaving behind a lonely figure.The Dusi people told her that it was Lu Shan, the girl in the rumor.

Du Siren was so angry about Lu Shan's dismissal that he stopped eating and chewed on a fried dough stick for a long time, thinking about it non-stop.Lin Zhique threatened her: "If you don't finish eating, I will be late, and you will compensate me for the deducted wages." She had no choice but to gulp down the soy milk, and before leaving, stuffed a whole small cage into her mouth Bag, while chewing, he took out two flat change pieces from his wallet.

Dusi people's birthday is August 8, Virgo, Virgo seems to be particularly neat and tidy.

The reason why Lin Zhique remembers it clearly is because she first arrived in Jincheng during the summer vacation of that year, and on the last day before school, before going to board the plane, she ate Du Siren's 21st birthday cake.At that time, "Loving Female Voices" had just ended, and Du Siren returned home and said that he would go to Beijing to record a new song soon.After that, until the difference between yin and yang in 2011, she could count the number of times she saw Dusi people without using one hand.At this time, she was living under the same roof with this person who had been away for many years, and walked through the noisy market to have breakfast together.

This person is alive, eats slowly, flattens all the folded corners of change, and is secretly admired by a certain boy.

Opposite the breakfast shop, there was a blind man by the stream who set up a fortune-telling stall and also sold cockroach medicine.When they passed by, the uncle coughed and said in a loud voice, little girl, your life is doomed, Du Siren replied with a smile, it is best to have festivals, and you can have a holiday if you have festivals.

They took a bus under the Meixi Bridge to Jinyi.Du Siren made an appointment with the students of the graduation performance group to practice singing together.Just after the morning rush hour, the bus was not too crowded, but there were still no seats. They stood by the back door. Du Siren took out the script from his bag and showed it to Lin Zhique, and asked her, "If it's you, which one should you choose?" The role?" Lin Zhique replied without hesitation: "Of course I choose the heroine." However, she never had the fate of a heroine. When she was a student, she always played the female villain when she was arranging theatrical performances. The heroine belongs to a girl like Du Zhian .But Du Siren listened, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Well, you are more suitable than Lu Xiaohua and Xu Wenjing."

Turning to the part of the English aria, Lin Zhique saw a few words made regular notes: sigh, sigh, sigh; fundamental, basic.Du Siren's characters are round and round, with one stroke at a time.

She asked the Dusi people to find a pen and write down a short translation sentence by sentence on the shaking bus:

You must remember this

you have to remember

Akississtillakiss

kiss is still kiss

Asigh is justasigh

sigh is still sigh

The fundamental things apply

so the world

Astime goes by

time flies

The car stopped and went, the road was bumpy, and several characters were written with a few crooked strokes. Lin Zhique looked left and right and felt dissatisfied. He asked Du Siren to throw away this book and print another one for her to write again. .Du Siren snatched it away and hid it in his bag.

There are still two stops to the school, the car drove through a secluded neighborhood, stopped and waited for the red light to turn green.

Du Siren looked out the window, and suddenly stood still like an electric shock, staring straight at something.

Lin Zhique followed her gaze and saw an extremely tall girl waiting for a red light on the sidewalk at the intersection.The girl was wearing a rustic long dress, with short hair and a broad figure, holding a bouquet of white flowers, which looked a bit weird at first glance.The bus started to move and passed the intersection. The girl also looked up at them. After only a short second, the girl gradually disappeared at the end of their sight.

Du Siren was stunned for a long time, until the bus announced the stop again, and she suddenly said, "I seem to have seen Zhao Qian just now."

"Who?"

"Zhao Qian. Lu Xiaohua's ex-boyfriend."
