Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Silver Street

I looked at my watch, it was only nine o'clock, I didn't want to go back so early.I think my girlfriend must still be studying in the study room.All the girls in the class may be studying in the study room. We do not have our own dormitory building, but live in the building of the Basic Medical Research Institute.Girls live on the fifth floor, boys live on the sixth floor, the seventh floor is the study room, the basement is the cafeteria, and there are toilets on each floor.Simply put, you can stay in the building for years and months if you want.In fact, many people do this.The cafeteria opened for dinner at 4:30, finished eating at 5:00, and people began to go to the seventh floor to study in the early 5:00s.Because it was so close to the dormitory, many people didn't even carry their schoolbags. They carried three or four thick textbooks in one hand, and drinking cups and thermoses in the other.Many girls read from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., and then went downstairs to sleep with three or four thick textbooks in one hand and drinking cups and thermoses in the other.The toilets in the middle are rarely used.The school doctor Dr. Wang once told me mysteriously that many girls in our class had irregular menstruation; I told her mysteriously that many boys in our class suffered from hemorrhoids, such as me.In fact, if you want, you can stay in this building after you die.Diseased organs can be placed in glass bottles in the pathology room, normal tissues can be sliced ​​into thin slices in the histology room and stained, white blood cells can be extracted for DNA and run in the biochemical room for electrophoresis, and if the soul persists, it can be floated in the corridors in the wind.

I don't want to go back so early.I was wandering on the streets of Dongdan and walked onto the overpass at the intersection of Dongdan.There was a beggar on the overpass, very fair-looking, wearing a ragged padded jacket, sitting on the ground.In front of him was a white enamel jar with a vague line of red characters on it: March 8th Red Banner Bearer, and some coins and ten-cent notes were scattered in the jar.The beggar saw that I was doing nothing, and gave me a vicious look, thinking that I was either trying to steal his business or make trouble for him.I threw the change I was going to buy for a bus ticket into the enamel jar, taking my stand and drawing a line from him.I've seen this beggar before, I remember his enamel cup, he's actually here every day.The last time I saw him, I also threw money and gave him a suggestion. He doesn't seem to remember me. His memory is obviously not as good as mine, so I'm going to take the human anatomy test.Last time I told him that his jar was too new, but this time, a few pieces of enamel had been dropped from the jar, and it looked black inside and out, so he was obviously old.My brother told me that begging is also a profession and a way of life, as old as assassins and prostitutes.He took a tour group to Guilin, and every time he met the same group of people asking for money at the foot of Elephant Trunk Hill.The two were not very old, the man swallowed the sword, and the woman ate the iron ball, spitting all over the floor.Ten years later, these two people are still there, but there are two more children. The boy still swallows the sword, and the girl still eats the iron ball, and the saliva is still dripping all over the floor.

In Dongdan, it is more common for middle-aged women to take a child on the streets, and most of the children are girls.The middle-aged woman holds the child in her hand, and the child's eyes shine like a falcon standing on the shoulders of an old hunter.With a suitable goal, the child rushes up, grabs the pants first and then hugs the legs, and does not let go when the money is low.Sometimes two or three groups work together, and I've seen them eat together at noon.Such a nimble kid can't escape most of the goals.These children understand love best, and their most profitable targets are pairs of young men and women.The man was hugged on the thigh, and the girlfriend stood by and watched sweetly, and there were very few people who didn't pay.Once, Huang Qi and his girlfriend with big breasts and no brains were walking on Dongdan Street. Huang Qi couldn't dodge and was hugged by her thigh.

"Little friend, how old are you?" Huang Qi asked softly. The kid asking for money stared at him like a monster. "Little friend, where is your home?" Huang Qi continued to ask. The kid who asked for money still stared at him like a monster. "Little friend, let me take you to study. It's on the seventh floor of the yellow building over there. You can read from five o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the evening. No one cares about you. I have many books to read to you." .” Huang Qi took the little girl’s hand and left. The child begging for money suddenly yelled: "Oh my god." He broke away from Huang Qi's hand and fled.

Since then, Huang Qi's girlfriend has decided that Huang Qi is a caring person, and the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds. They used to hold hands, but now the girl always welds half of her body to Huang Qi when she walks.Astragalus was thin and thin, and when the two walked on the street, Huangqi seemed to be carrying half a sack of grain, which reminded me of a mouse stealing public grain in cartoons.Since then, Huang Qi has also added a habit. When he saw an advertisement for an old military doctor on a telephone pole near Dongdan, he would try to tear it off.Huang Qi said that the little girls begging for money saw it badly, which affected their growth.We all wonder how he remembered it.

"Once Juan asked me what is premature ejaculation. I asked her how she thought of asking this, and she said it was posted on a telephone pole by the side of the road. Juan's eyes are so good. I said it was premature ejaculation, so she had to ask something Ejaculated too early, is it diarrhea? Don’t laugh, she really doesn’t understand. It’s the first time I have menstruation, and I have never bled so much. I thought I was going to die, so I spent all my savings of more than three yuan to buy plum After eating, I was so sour that I couldn’t speak, and I was lying on the bed waiting to die. Don’t laugh, you are shameless, and you can’t deny that some people, most people are pure. I told her the truth. She Then I asked, how early is too early, I said I haven't learned yet, I think my performance can be regarded as the standard, and those who are earlier than me are premature ejaculation. She said, how early is that, this disease is a serious disease, but you can get Treatment. You are smiling again! I thought about it, if I don’t bring Juan to play with you in the future, even the best person will be spoiled by you! She asked me the cause of the disease, how to cure it, what do other diseases mean, impotence Nocturnal emission, gonorrhea, syphilis, lifting but not firm, firm but not long. I think if I don't get stuck, she will go to the address on the advertisement , I just said that I haven’t learned it yet, and I must study hard in the future, and then explain it to her carefully from beginning to end. Originally, we just went to human anatomy. After that, I thought, those little beggar girls should be more curious than Juan, they I haven’t had my period yet. It’s fine if I can’t read enough, but it’s not good if the few characters I know are all learned from advertisements on telephone poles.”

Huang Qi came back one night and said that she saw the little girl begging for money again, pestering a foreigner at the door of the disco in the Peace Hotel.After all, the child is still young, so he missed it. Although the foreigner brought a woman with him, that wasn't his girlfriend.Huang Qi said that he felt quite ashamed at first, and he would rather the little girl pester him, so he could give her money and take her to study.Then suddenly I heard the girl say: "Please give me some money. I am so hungry." "English is really good, pronunciation is much better than mine, and I can compete with you." Huang Qi said to me, "Do you think there are many unreasonable things in the world? If that little girl was born in a better environment, her English would be better." , good skill, maybe even more beautiful than Gong Li after washing his face, and he can become a diplomat after studying."

"The ancients had a similar feeling." I said to Huang Qi, "For example, a fallen flower, blown by a gust of wind, may fall on a small river and flow away slowly; it may fall into the arms of a girl who is pregnant with spring, causing some tears; Might blow into the toilet too. Doesn't make sense." I was standing on the overpass at Dongdan intersection, the wind was blowing, and the night was as cool as water. The overpass is a steel structure, but it looks like an ancient stone bridge.A bridge pavilion is also built in the middle of the bridge, with four corner cornices.There is a plaque on the top of the bridge pavilion, with two big characters in Yan style, which are very thick: "Silver Street".The original meaning is that Dongdan Street is adjacent to Wangfujing, Wangfujing is a gold street, and Dongdan is at least an inch of silver, it is a silver street, and its status is not bad.

But I don’t know if the people planning Dongdan have thought about whether this street name might be misunderstood by others.Every language has its own unique misunderstandings, such as penis and peanuts in English. If the pronunciation is not good, don’t invite foreigners to eat walnuts easily.Some misunderstandings cannot be resolved.One of my classmates in junior high school is Jiao Hang. His father was an aircraft maker. He received a professional education in the former Soviet Union. He has been building aircraft from young to old, so he named his son Hang and wanted him to build aircraft, just like a The documentary about dedication talks about "dedicating youth and life, dedicating life to children and grandchildren".When we first met each other at the beginning of school, Jiao Hang was shy when he introduced himself, "My surname is Jiao." I knew that some were named Zhang, some were named Li, and some were named Jiao. I didn't pick them myself, but I still I couldn't help but secretly laughed.My movements were small, but the head teacher still saw it. She gave me a fierce look, and I knew she had written me down in her little notebook.The head teacher asked me to apologize to Jiao Hang, but Jiao Hang was at a loss as to why I should apologize to him.The head teacher talked for a long time before he seemed to understand that it would take two years for the physiology and hygiene class to be taken, and Jiao Hang became even more shy.The head teacher said that I had many problems in thinking, and I said that I knew it a long time ago. When I was two years old, I knew that men and women were not close.Even though it was the first time we met, the class teacher decided to invite my parents to prevent the passing of time.My mother said that there are no decent psychiatrists in China, and if there are any, they may not be my opponents. Smirking and other behaviors that interfere with other people, so I was sent to stabilize, and taking big pills made me stupid. She and the school teacher are of one mind.The head teacher seemed to have noticed a trace of the reasons for the formation of my thoughts from my mother's words, sighed, and asked me to sit around either class cadres or underachievers, and either refused to understand my pornographic jokes and sexual imaginations or really listened to them. Don't get it, make sure my thinking doesn't make too much of an impact.Later, I became friends with Jiao Hang. He didn't build airplanes, but he still made a living related to airplanes.He was doing Sino-Soviet trade, ran on both sides, and imported five Soviet Tu-154s.I said it was unlucky, "I want to die", but he said he would not sit down.He is not shy at all now, and when he sees a girl, he says, "My surname is Jiao, not that I want to be named Jiao, but that I have to be named Jiao. My father refuses to agree to my surname not being Jiao. Not only do I want to be named Jiao, My son also wants to be named Jiao, but if he doesn’t have the surname Jiao, I don’t agree.” It’s endless.

But some misunderstandings are avoidable.After the physiology and hygiene class in junior high school, the Chinese teacher said in the textbook, "Some enemies were wiped out, and some fled in fright." This time, it wasn't just me who laughed, those people after class shouted to each other, "I'm sorry, I made you inseminated ".In fact, the wording is not good, and it could have been changed to: "Some enemies were killed, and some fled."The naming of Dongdan also belongs to the category that can be avoided, Silver Street, he sells gold, you sell silver, how ugly.It could have been changed to Copper Street, Diamond Street or something.

Getting off the crossing bridge is like flowing water, the headlights are orange and the tail lights are cherry red, flashing under the bridge.The big and small specialty stores on Dongdan Street are brightly lit, and the neon lights on the top of the buildings not far away are ships of different sizes; at the corner of the intersection, the towering golden M logo of McDonald's is the lighthouse indicating the waterway.On the bridge, I can vaguely see my school, with green tiles on the roof, flying eaves and corners, and ghostly shadows.Most of the famous universities in the world are built on the fringes of cities, neither out of the world nor in the world, just like the Taoist attitude towards desire: if you are close, you will never Don't forget.My school was built here, as if the monk's temple was built by the Qinhuai River, between the color and space, it was a mess. In the cool night like water, I stood on the bridge, with the wind blowing, I stretched out my hand, and felt the time flow through my fingers.I think of a night a few years ago. Since that night, I often feel that things are like water.It was the last trip of the whole year before the college entrance examination, to a Communist Youth League forest farm in the outskirts of Beijing.At the end of May, the pagoda tree forest was full of pagoda tree flowers, which covered the ground thickly, like a layer of snow, which creaked when stepped on.We pitched a tent in the woods and built a bonfire beside the tent.The other classes sang and danced around their bonfire, but we just sat around the bonfire, silent like a fool, everyone's eyes were shining brightly by the fire, like a pack of little wolves.My first love is opposite me, I have a strong urge to take her for a walk in the woods, I think, she will not refuse.I ended up going alone.The wind blows through the forest, and I walk below, as if walking under the surface of the water.I suddenly felt that things were like water.My first love's long hair is like water, eyes are like water, night is like water, woods are like water, and time is like water.The past, present, and future flow through my fingers. If I don't hold someone's hand, she will flow through my fingers in an instant. I closed my eyes, and Liu Qing's images were clear and vivid.She looks like a celadon, she speaks calmly and kindly, and her gestures are safe and powerful.I don't know if she liked to eat spinach when she was a child, or if she wore two pigtails when she first fell in love.Does she wash her hands before and after meals?Does she brush her teeth after meals and before going to the toilet? At the southeast corner of Dongdan intersection, a huge neon sign advertisement of a Korean company changes repeatedly, trying every means to brand that brand into the memory of passers-by.I don't know what these Latinized Japanese and Korean brands mean in their native languages.I suddenly have an inspiration, I always have a sudden inspiration, I will have money in the future, and I will not buy a corridor like Xin Yi.I want to Latinize that Beijing curse, create a personalized fashion brand, let handsome men and women walk around on the stage in black, white and yellow.He also set up huge neon advertisements on the streets of New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Paris, and opened a series of specialty stores, making street people feel cool and wearing them all over the world.Looking around, there are a lot of idiots.It is much more concise and powerful than Ah Q's "I am your father". "Shabi" I imagined the cursive script of these letters in my mind, which is very good-looking and easy to remember.People are suddenly happy.
