Chapter 477 Paper Planes of Childhood
In midsummer, the wind blows and the cicadas chirp.
Summer in the old city is more impressive than winter. Su Chengyi looked at the sunset outside the window in trance.
Due to the urban heat island effect, Qinghe District, which is close to the suburbs and the river surrounding the city, is somewhat cooler than the bustling central area.
So every evening, when the sun that has been burning all day declares its temporary dormancy, people will come out of their rooms to enjoy the cool air.
Like ants moving, the residents moved the rocking chairs out of their homes and put them on the roadside. Then they gathered around in twos and threes, holding cattail fans and chatting about the mountains.
What Su Chengyi was most afraid of when he was a child was this kind of scene, because at this time he was often sent out to run errands by Su Zelang.
Actually, Su Chengyi doesn't mind doing a small favor like helping his unreliable father, but "Windmill Animation" is about to start, and he is only thinking about watching "The Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit" pass".
Usually, he buys two bottles of cold beer and leaves the remaining change for him to use as he pleases.
Su Chengyi sometimes buys a popsicle and eats it all the way home, but most of the time, he saves the money and buys a comic strip or magazine the next time he goes to the library.
In fact, as long as he asks for the money to buy books, both Su Zelang and Yang Liu will definitely give it to him immediately, even though their family is not financially well-off.
But Su Chengyi didn't want to say this, so he slowly saved money by himself.
When he finished shopping and returned home from the intersection, the street that was empty just now had changed. It was full of people shaking cattail fans to enjoy the coolness and chatting.
At this time, Su Chengyi wanted to turn around and take a detour, but in fact, there were people on both sides of the road, so this struggle was obviously ineffective.
Su Chengyi had no choice but to carry the plastic bag, lower his head and walk quickly through the crowd, trying very hard to reduce his sense of presence.
However, it is obvious that the eyes of the neighbors are sharper than anyone else, and their eyes are rulers.
Only those who have experienced it know how much mental endurance it takes to cross such a street.
Look at this, these chattering people seem to be ordinary citizens on the surface, but in fact they are a mysterious organization in the universe, the most powerful intelligence agency on earth. They can easily ruin your reputation and spread faster than the Internet. It's their mouths.
But they have bad ears. When people say, "I deliver food in the city," they can translate it into "He sells it in the city."
Su Chengyi, who was in elementary school, didn’t know the origin. Once, after returning from a competition, she innocently answered a question from one of the enthusiastic aunties:
"Xiaoyi, how was this city competition? Did you win first place?"
Su Chengyi took out the gold medal from his pocket and gave it a look to his aunt, and then politely replied:
“Others are also very good, I’m just lucky.”
When Su Chengyi went out the next day, his words had been twisted into:
“It’s too simple. It’s no fun to win a gold medal like this. I’ve already replaced it with a stainless steel basin.”
Su Chengyi, who was already afraid of being autistic, wanted to go into the sewers when he went out.
But humans cannot walk through the sewers.
So every time Su Chengyi just walked to the intersection, an aunt would already shout loudly:
"Ouch! Isn't this the bachelor of our community!"
Actually, he was still a primary school student at that time, but because his grades were so top-notch, he was often teased by his neighbors and called him "Bachelor of the University of Suzhou."
This is not a malicious name, it is even a way to express affection, but Su Chengyi is often embarrassed to the point of wanting to crawl into the cracks of the ground.
And this enthusiastic lady’s loud greeting will quickly attract everyone’s attention.
"Xiaoyi is running errands for your dad again? Ask him to come down and drink! What's the point of hiding at home and drinking?"
The shirtless uncle wearing beach pants playfully took it away with a smile. The beer he was carrying.
"Grand Bachelor, how many points did you get in the final exam this time? That's great, uncle, come and reward you with pocket money, go buy some delicious food."
There are also feeding parties who care more about performance.
"The Su family's son is walking so fast. Come and sit here for a while to enjoy the cool air. It's so hot in the house."
There was also the domineering old man who couldn't help but hold him back and not allow him to leave. too.
In the end, he had to rely on Granny Xu or Aunt Zhu to help him out, waving fans to chase people away for him, stuffing him with a piece of iced watermelon or something, and then taking him home.
Su Chengyi still feels a little embarrassed and at a loss when thinking about that scene.
He was too young at that time, and did not have the temper and aura that keeps strangers away from him now. Even if he had a straight face and was unhappy, adults would only think that this child was funny and amusing.
But although the method was clumsy and a bit offensive, as neighbors, their original intention was to make him less withdrawn.
In the final analysis, it is a good intention.
Su Chengyi looked out the window at the setting sun. The peaks of the mountains in the distance were dyed bright orange.
In his previous life, he regarded the friendship between people and neighbors as a scourge, and just wanted to run away far away.
So in his memory, the faces of these neighbors have become very blurry, and he can't even remember their last names.
But it’s very contradictory, Su Cheng thought.
He still remembers that the uncle who liked to wear beach pants would help him smash beer caps flat and make them into iron pieces that children liked to collect; the uncle who often gave him pocket money always gave him a brand new one every time. 10 yuan; the old lady who forcibly dragged him into the chat group smelled like mothballs.
This is already far, far away from him.
Su Chengyi sighed softly.
Suddenly I feel a little nostalgic.
This feeling of nostalgia was broken by the ringtone of an incoming phone call when the sunset took away the last ray of light.
Su Chengyi picked up Miss Chu’s call.
"Hello? Su Chengyi, what are you doing!"
Chu Qingmian's voice was as sweet as a glass of freshly squeezed iced watermelon juice.
As soon as Su Chengyi heard her beginning, he knew that she must have nothing serious to do, she was just idle and bored.
"I have something to do."
Su Chengyi said seriously.
“What’s the matter?”
Chu Qingmian sounded like he was frightened, and his voice was lowered a lot, for fear of disturbing him.
"It's time, I want to watch "The Windmill Animation"."
Su Chengyi replied seriously.
“.”
Chu Qingmian was obviously speechless. She was silent for a long time before gritting her teeth and said:
“I want to watch "DreamWorks Animation" too. ! ”
"Classmate, you are late. "Animation DreamWorks" has just ended."
Su Chengyi glanced at his watch to confirm the time.
When I was a kid, if I wanted to know which TV station was broadcasting what program, I had to read the newspaper.
At that age, Su Chengyi had nothing to do every day, and he was so energetic that he could even memorize this schedule from beginning to end, and even still remembers some of it now.
“Ah?! How could I remember that it was this time? After dinner.”
Chu Qingmian couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the days when she was a child watching cartoons.
"I want to watch "The Wisdom Tree" too!"
The name Chu Qingmian read awakened part of Su Chengyi's memory.
This was his least favorite column when he was a child, but it still occupied the prime time slot.
Two children's program hosts, Hong Guoguo and Green Paopao, led a group of children to play various childish games.
Before Su Chengyi was reborn, he happened to see the news announcement announcing the suspension of "Wisdom Tree", and the "Animation DreamWorks" they talked about first stopped broadcasting earlier.
Under the announcement of the suspension of "Wisdom Tree", someone commented that when he was a child, he once called the column team and the person who answered the phone was Green Bubble.
Children always ask questions without paying attention to realistic logic. He asked directly:
"How to get to the Wisdom Tree?"
And Green Bubble's answer Yes:
"Kids, just keep going forward and you will be there."
If you keep going forward, you will grow up.
So, when you switch the TV station to the children's channel for the last time, you don't realize that it is the last time.
It was when Su Chengyi saw these familiar programs announced to be suspended one after another that he suddenly recalled that he had watched so many cartoons in front of the TV.
This is how the long summer vacations of childhood passed.
"The big windmill is creaking and turning, the scenery here is so beautiful~
The sky is beautiful~the ground is beautiful~and there are a group of happy friends!"
Su Chengyi was distracted for a moment, Chu Qingmian was amusing herself and singing happily.
Miss Chu’s music library contains countless such funny little songs, and she can sing them all. "It was more fun when I was a kid, and I didn't feel bored at all."
Chu Qingmian sighed, turned over on the bed, and began to harass another innocent person.
"Hey! Go, Fury, pick up the ball!"
It sounds like she just rounded her arms and threw the toy ball.
Su Cheng thought that playing this ball-throwing game while lying on the bed could only be done with an exaggeratedly large room like Miss Chu.
"Hey, hey, Fury! Didn't you see your favorite ball fly away!
Go and pick it up quickly. Are you a dog? Don’t all dogs like to throw the ball? "
Chu Qingmian looked at Furui, who was lying on the side as steady as a mountain, and felt that my son's rebellion hurt my heart.
"The Bernese Mountain Dog is not a retriever, and it doesn't like to pick up balls that much. . "
Su Chengyi said slowly.
Especially for a pampered little fat dog like Furui who eats, drinks and sleeps all day long, so he would not have the heart to play with such a childish child like the shit shovel officer. Games.
"Hmph! I'll pick it up myself."
Otherwise, the nanny at home would have spent a long time looking for Fury's toys when she saw them missing.
Miss Chu got up from the bed dejectedly, trotted all the way, and fished out the ball that rolled under the wardrobe.
“Is it so boring?”
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little.
"That's right! Su Chengyi, tell me, are humans inherently masochistic?
It's finally a holiday. I can have a few days without work. I feel so unaccustomed to being so free."< br>
Chu Qingmian complained while carefully placing the ball on top of Fury's head.
Make the dog a ball-heading seal.
Furry, who grew up very quickly, was in a very stable mood. He lay quietly on the ground and took a nap without moving, and the ball stopped firmly on his head.
"How about you go out with me to play? Let's go see the sea! How about Tahiti or Phuket?"
Su Chengyi heard her tone and quickly stopped her.
Because she knew that if it was a little later, she might have already asked her assistant to book the flight.
"Stop it, it's the peak season for the college entrance examination. I don't want to go out and watch people."
"Ah, that's right."
Chu Qingmian sighed.
And in addition to the peak summer season, she only has a few days left on her own vacation. If she travels abroad, she must hurry up and take her time, which will greatly compromise the travel experience.
The development speed of Xingxing Entertainment is really fast. Recently, it has been fighting back and forth with established large companies. This also makes Xiao Chu, as CEO, have more things to worry about.
She gave herself this short "summer vacation", which was actually a very willful act.
“I hate it so much, I want to go on strike!”
Chu Qingmian gritted her teeth bitterly.
Su Chengyi knew that she was just complaining out of habit. In fact, she would do nothing less than what she should do.
"Let's see later, there will always be a time when both of us are free."
Su Chengyi said this, but his mind was far away.
Seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, there is one day that needs special attention.
"Then you promise me that you will go out with me to play!"
Chu Qingmian was very easy to coax, so she just happily asked him to promise.
"Okay, I promise you."
Su Chengyi agreed without any psychological pressure.
Although he wears multiple hats and develops in two directions, he is indeed a little overwhelmed, but the travel plan can still be arranged.
Moreover, staying in a city like Beijing or Shanghai, and because they are all involved in the entertainment industry, the three of them could hardly see each other without looking up.
So compared to wandering around the same big city, it is obviously safer to make an appointment with one of them to travel to other cities far away from the center of the storm, and the risk of overturning is much smaller.
"Okay!"
Chu Qingmian sounded very happy. She touched Furui's head and said with a crooked eyebrow:
"When the time comes How about we go on a self-drive trip? Furui, do you want to go for a ride?
But you have to be good, don't run around, don't yell at others.
You can’t just lie on the ground and not get up, because you are too fat, and I doubt that Su Chengyi and I can’t hold you.”
Chu Qingmian held the dog Su Cheng said with a serious look on his big paw. Listening to her voice, I could almost imagine her serious expression, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth for a moment.
The ice on the other end of the receiver made her head full of thoughts. He deserves to die even more in Shura Field
After hanging up the phone, Su Chengyi reprimanded himself and raised his eyes to look out the window. The light was already dim.
The sound of clinking dishes being washed could be heard everywhere in the neighborhood. It was evening.
For the last trip of the summer vacation, Su Chengyi had already reserved time before the summer vacation. In total, it was also the last stop before the start of school.
August 21st is Chen Jinzhi’s birthday.
On this day, she will be nineteen years old.
Su Chengyi had been thinking about how to celebrate her birthday for a long time. He was used to making plans, but in this case, he always felt that no matter how he planned, he was always missing something.
While thinking, a loud child's voice came from downstairs:
"Brother Xiaoyi!"
In a superb primary school voice, Su Chengyi opened the window and went downstairs. look.
Sure enough, it was Chocolate standing below, holding a big watermelon in his arms and grinning at him happily.
I haven’t seen him for a semester. This guy has no tendency to grow taller at all. He is still like a round little boy.
"Come down, let's eat watermelon together! It's just taken out of the refrigerator, it's so sweet!"
Chocolate struggled to hold up the watermelon in his hand, wanting to show it to him , but with short hands and short legs, no matter how hard we try, it will not help.
Su Chengyi looked sideways and saw that some bamboo chairs were scattered around the street, and people kept coming from the intersection waving cattail fans.
It was consistent with the scene in his memory, but not as lively.
"Xiaoyi, it's not hot outside now. Do you want to go out? It's okay if you don't want to. Auntie will cut a piece and bring it to you!"
Aunt Zhu stood next to the chocolate with her hands on her hips and smiled. Waved at him.
I think Aunt Zhu also thought of his dead look when he was a child.
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, hesitated for only a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth and replied:
"Okay aunt, I will go downstairs now."
Under the look of surprise mixed with surprise, Su Chengyi turned around, closed the window, and pressed the off button of the air conditioner.
While changing shoes at the entrance, Su Chengyi thought that if his childhood had seen this scene, he would probably be shocked and speechless.
Well, maybe he will hold the doorknob hard and refuse to let him go out, and refuse to admit that this damned person is who he will be when he grows up.
Traitor!
It can be regarded as living in the way that I hate the most.
Su Cheng realized this and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Click."
The door handle turned, and the moment the door opened, wind blew from the corridor.
The flowing natural wind is more suitable for human beings than the air conditioning of air conditioning in a closed room.
Su Chengyi's mood suddenly became very good for no reason.
It was like the paper airplane of childhood was blown back into his hand by this gust of wind.
