Return To 1977 Chapter 1062: Shining Pearl
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Some reunions are deliberately created, like Angelo and Catalina.
Sometimes we meet again. But it was purely unintentional and happened by chance.
Just like Xiao Baizi and a girl named Sang Jing.
The coincidental scene happened on the last weekend at the end of October.
On this day, "Xiao Baizi" followed the monthly routine and came to "Xidan Quanyechang" to "collect rent" next to the stalls.
It must be said that as the person in charge of the tobacco, alcohol and rental business under Hong Yanwu.
Today's "Xiaobaizi", just like the expanded and renovated market, has become very respectable.
Imported sunglasses, a new black "Rambler" men's windbreaker, washed white jeans, and pointed leather shoes.
Behind him were two men who helped collect debts and also served as bodyguards.
This style is almost as good as that of "Little Ma" in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, which is quite popular.
Especially since he is so familiar here and has a special face.
Whether it is the administrator responsible for order here or the self-employed person at the stall, he will definitely greet him with a smile.
Then it looks even more like that.
But what should be affirmed most is that "Xiao Baizi" has a clear mind and never takes advantage of others or puts on airs.
He is indeed worthy of Hong Yanwu's trust and knows that getting things done well is the first priority.
No matter which self-employed person greets him, "Come, come, sit down and have a cup of tea, the money is ready."
He will definitely give someone a cigarette.
"Thank you for your hard work and smoking. Congratulations on getting rich."
What if the administrator was fooling around with him?
"Hey, Baizi, you are getting more and more handsome. Yo, these sunglasses are good, where did you buy them?"
He tends to brag exaggeratedly first.
"I know the goods, I bought them through friendship, I have two hundred beautiful children here."
While the other party was in disbelief, he even stuck out his tongue.
He would immediately put sunglasses on other people's faces, causing a stir.
"Brother, I'm teasing you. If you like it, take it."
So in this way, his popularity will become better and better.
Wherever he went, he was surrounded by cheerful faces, and there was usually a lot of fuss and banter.
Of course, he will become more and more conspicuous in the hottest clothing market in the capital, and the probability of meeting an acquaintance will be higher.
Almost every time I come here, I always run into one or two people I know from my neighbors, my sister, my colleagues, people I have interacted with in society...
And this time is no exception.
Just when he ordered the money from a self-employed person, stuffed it into his wallet, and signed for the handover.
A girl who was picking up travel shoes at this stall called out his name.
"Hey... you... you are... Baijin Duo, right?"
"Xiaobaizi" turned his head and immediately froze with his mouth open.
It was a girl wearing dark blue jeans and a ponytail.
This outfit was the most popular outfit for female college students at that time.
In particular, this girl has a very good figure and a fair and delicate face, which makes her look even more youthful and energetic.
It's nice just to be recognized by such a beautiful girl.
What made Xiao Baizi feel even more embarrassed was that he didn't know them at all.
That's terrible.
Although his mind was working hard, he could not remember ever having such a high-class friend around him.
Fortunately, I had a flash of inspiration.
Just when the girl had been waiting for a long time, her face was about to look disappointed.
"Xiaobaizi" finally succeeded in overlapping the face of a female classmate who had been supervising him from elementary school to middle school, and the face of the girl in front of him.
He quickly called out the name.
"Sang Jing? Oh, monitor, it's really you."
The girl suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I thought you hated me and pretended not to know me."
And Xiaobaizi was completely convinced that he really did not admit his mistake.
This is his class president from elementary school to middle school, the proud daughter of the class.
He still remembered that Sang Jing's father seemed to be the director of some bureau, and he was already considered a high-ranking official in the Tianqiao area.
Of course, precisely because Sang Jing has always been favored by teachers and regarded as an outstanding student, she still holds power in her hands.
There will inevitably be serious conflicts with underachievers like him.
For example, when it comes to checking personal hygiene, his dark fingernails and unclean ears are the primary targets for strict attention.
For example, if you arrive late and leave early, or if you talk in class, you will be diligently recorded and reported to the teacher.
Especially the later implementation of one-on-one gang and one-on-one red.
Sang Jing also took the initiative to sit at the same table with him, and the conflicts became even more frequent.
She even has to take care of cheating on exams and getting distracted in class.
So he really teased her a lot back then.
I stuffed bugs into the pencil case and drew little people in Sang Jing’s textbook.
It seems that they also drew the 38th parallel and stabbed people with compasses.
But even so, when the school organized a spring outing.
Because his family was too poor to afford boating, Sang Jing took the initiative to pay for it.
Later he joined the society and dropped out of school. Sang Jing came to see him several times to persuade him to go back to school.
Thinking of this, Xiao Baizi blushed a little.
Draining water from three rivers, it was hard to wash away the shame. He felt very regretful about his youth.
So he hurriedly showed his enthusiasm as much as possible and continued talking.
"How can I? I'm grateful to you before it's too late. I think if it hadn't been for your help and supervising me from behind, I'm afraid I would be illiterate now, and I wouldn't even know the words. Hey, you are here now Where? Are you admitted to university?"
Sure enough, Sang Jing replied.
"Not ideal, College of Finance and Commerce. I'm still one year away from graduation..."
But this is enough for Xiaobaizi to appreciate.
"Oh, you are awesome. How difficult is it to get into college? I guess you are the only one in our elementary school class who is good at it."
Sang Jing is also very humble.
"Look what you said, what's the matter? In fact, there are three people in our elementary school who were admitted to college. You just don't study hard, otherwise, you might be able to pass. However, you have to think about studying. , If you don’t want to, it’s useless for anyone to force you.”
These words certainly made Xiaobaizi feel even more ashamed.
"Yes, yes, I have failed to live up to your expectations, and it's all up to me. But you do think highly of me. No matter how hard I work, high school will be over at most."
Following him, he saw Sang Jing still holding a shoe in her hand and hurriedly tightened her grip.
"Then what...are you here to buy shoes? Which pair do you like? Take it if you like it. It's mine..."
But at this time, girls are not used to taking advantage of men openly.
Sang Jing is embarrassed.
"At a different price..."
Unexpectedly, the self-employed businessman is very sensible, and he has already noticed his features.
I asked Sang Jing for her shoe number, picked two clean pairs from the box, wrapped them in paper and handed them over.
Then he resolutely refused to ask for money, which gave Xiao Baizi a boost of face.
Now the girl can no longer refuse this kindness.
But Sang Jing also had the same idea. She thought about it and asked Xiao Baizi again.
"Then what? Are you selling things here too? Can you walk away? How about we find a place to chat and I'll treat you to dinner..."
But how could Xiao Baizi be so embarrassed to let the girl pay for it?
He shook his head quickly.
"No, no, no, I'll invite you. It's natural for a man to invite a woman..."
Unexpectedly, Sang Jing was not happy anymore and frowned slightly.
"What are you talking about? Aren't we old classmates?"
"Let me tell you, I am not a girl who goes around trying to get a job. I know that all self-employed people are rich now, but if you don't let me invite you, you are looking down on people."
"Then let's not go, and I don't want any shoes. I'll just pretend I've never met you today..."
As soon as he said this, a burst of background music could not help but appear in Xiaobaizi's heart.
"...We have just entered the journey of life, and we often worry that our innocent hearts will feel lonely. Although it is a long journey, there will always be friends, and friends will meet me. A childlike innocence is just a dream. , a childlike innocence is just a shining pearl..." This is the theme song "Glittering Pearl" of "The Girl in Red" which was released in the cinema a while ago.
Not for anything else, just because Sang Jing's tone was very similar to the way she used to catch him skipping classes and wouldn't let him go.
He really felt the bright sunshine of his boyhood.
