Opening his eyes suddenly, Lu Weimin felt his heart pounding in his chest, as if he had experienced a strenuous exercise. The blood pumped from the heart quickly flowed to every part of the body. Cold sweat dripped down his back, and his limbs
But a little chilly.
He tried hard to control his wandering consciousness.
where is this place?
His eyes finally settled on the old ceiling, where a solitary incandescent light bulb hung in the middle of the ceiling.
This kind of ceiling without a suspended ceiling seems very familiar, but it has been away for too long. The old Soviet-style red brick old buildings, aren't the dormitories in the 195 Factory all have this style?
Why are you here? Could it be that you were not injured in the car accident?
Impossible. He could clearly feel the blood foam gushing out from the corner of Ye Man's mouth at that time and the blood clots he spat out later, as well as the broken ribs in his chest. Even now, he became unconscious for only a few seconds before regaining consciousness.
I can't even remember it.
Lu Weimin groaned and subconsciously rubbed his swollen temples. He felt that his head was a little dizzy and his thoughts were stagnant, as if he had been asleep for a long time and was a little numb.
He always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't put it into words. Suddenly, he noticed that his hands seemed to have changed.
He rubbed his eyes and then looked at his palms. Why were they so smooth and plump? Then he looked at his arms. When he bent them, his well-developed biceps actually appeared. Lu Weimin was stunned.
What's going on? Biceps? How many years has this thing been missing from my body? It must have been at least more than ten years.
He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen. It was flat and elastic, with bulky muscles faintly visible, and the fat formed by years of eating and drinking and living on the mahjong table had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Weimin was horrified, what happened? Could it be that being in a car accident and going to the hospital caused such a big change in his body?
Sitting up with a cry, Lu Weimin looked around and found that he was not wearing the Plessy shirt he was used to wearing, but an old round-neck sweatshirt that was somewhat simple. What was going on?
The faint aroma of fried green pepper and black bean paste lingers in your nose. It has been a long time since I smelled such a familiar smell.
Since his mother passed away three years ago, Lu Weimin has never smelled such a fragrance. His second sister can also make tempeh, but it is still inferior to his mother's level. Lu Weimin can never forget the tempeh made by his mother.
What happened today? Is it a hallucination? It’s not like the hallucination caused by being too seriously injured in the car accident. Lu Weimin pinched the biceps of his left arm hard with his right hand, and a sharp pain came from him.
Realize that this is not an illusion, but a solid reality.
After adapting to the light in the room, Lu Weimin diligently observed his surroundings.
Yes, everything in front of him was so familiar. He had lived in this room for three years.
During the three years of high school before going to college, he spent his nights on this bed, and wasn't the old crew-neck sweatshirt he picked up from his father's sweatshirt used as pajamas?
There was a bitter taste in his mouth, which was a sign of drinking too much. Lu Weimin subconsciously turned over and walked to the edge of the square table with bare feet. He picked up a huge tea cup and drank half the cup of herbal tea in one breath.
.
At this time, his mind seemed to be moving, but Lu Weimin still didn't realize what happened.
The plane trees outside the window completely covered the road in the living area. Cicadas were screaming desperately, several retired women were talking under the trees, and a somewhat familiar thin figure rode a bicycle past the window.
who?
Lu Weimin tried hard to remember, and suddenly remembered, isn't this Teacher Mo?
My homeroom teacher in high school.
My English foundation was not very good when I was in junior high school in Nantan, my hometown. It was only when I went to high school at 195 Factory School that I realized the difference. This class teacher was very kind to me and gave me a lot of help to improve my English.
He caught up quickly in the three years of high school and made great contributions to his admission to Lingnan University in the college entrance examination.
Teacher Mo? How many years have you not seen him? Eight or ten years? In my memory, it seems that when I was the director of the Longtai County Education Bureau, I met him at a meeting of the city’s education system. He was about to retire at that time.
Okay, why does he look so much younger today than the last time I saw him?
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Lu Weimin looked around in shock. Yes, isn't this his original home?
But... Lu Weimin's eyes fell on the rough desk calendar on the wall, a page had just been torn off.
July 8, 1990! Sunday! A few clear red letters on the roughly printed desk calendar came into view.
This is my father's habit. Every morning when he gets up, he has to tear off a page of the desk calendar, and then write down the things to be done on today's desk calendar.
This habit has always affected me. Although I have not developed the habit of writing a diary, I still learn from my father and write down the things that must be done every day in order of importance. Try not to exceed three things a day. It is said that this is
The most efficient way to work, and this habit has been with me for more than 20 years, but what exactly is going on?
Why does the calendar show the time twenty-one years ago?!
Lu Weimin may not believe his eyes or his consciousness, but he cannot help but believe his feelings, the sense of relaxation and indescribable familiarity all over his body.
Lu Weimin sat on the bed blankly, immersed in this strange atmosphere. He did not dare to go out. He was afraid that he would not be able to accept it. Whether he was overjoyed, at a loss, or just in vain, he really didn't know.
What would it feel like.
Just when Lu Weimin's two emotions of hesitation and confusion were intertwined and controlling his mind, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door. Such familiar footsteps could only exist in memory, and he couldn't believe it.
With a creak, the door was opened, and the familiar figure of my mother appeared at the door. The vegetable basket in her hand contained a handful of green onions, celery, and a piece of pork belly. "Third son, wake up? Who did you drink so much with last night? What's your body like?"
I don’t think so when I’m young, but you’ll know when you get older, drink more water!”
"Mom, it's okay. Just this time, I'm okay." Lu Weimin's voice was a little low. When he saw his mother's concerned eyes, a wave of heat surged from his chest, making the corners of his eyes wet.
The mother sighed softly and put down the vegetable basket in her hand, "Third son, I know you feel uncomfortable. Seeing you like this, your dad didn't sleep well last night. He went out early this morning. Our family only has so much space."
No matter what, your dad can't let go of that face, so don't blame your dad."
Lu Weimin took a deep breath. July 7, 1990, the fifty-third anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, was very vivid in his memory.
Not because that day was the fifty-third anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, but because the news that he would be assigned to return to his hometown of Nantan had been confirmed.
Half a month ago, the Party Committee of Factory 195 rejected the original opinion of allowing me to join the factory, and only accepted the children of dual-income earners. However, I am a child of half a household, and my registered permanent residence is not in the factory. Therefore, I was dismissed on the grounds that this precedent cannot be broken.
Turned away.
Many previous efforts were in vain, and hopes were in vain.
And for this reason, he had to return to his hometown - Nantan County, Liyang Prefecture, where his registered permanent residence is located. Moreover, because he had not had time to do any work before, he was assigned to the most remote Dongpi Township.
