Chapter 6 Chapter Six

The meeting place is the gentleman's house. The place is very spacious, furnished with simplicity and elegance, and his wife is noble, generous, beautiful and gentle. She didn't say anything, but her eyes and expression comforted me. She seemed to know everything and care about everything. The gentleman walked into the study room and greeted us casually. Fang Zhongxin presented the bottle of wine like a treasure, but the gentleman didn't even look at it. Fang Zhongxin was wronged, and he gave me a sideways look, as if to say: Look, it's all about you, and it's all for you.

I'm upset. They chatted without saying a word. The gentleman was very small, with a very ordinary appearance. He didn't know where he was, and his expression was indescribably tired. He kept his head on his hand and held the wine glass with the other hand. He drank slowly, sip after sip, absent-minded." Um, um", perfunctory Lao Fang. I'm a little anxious. That gentleman didn't seem to be very interested in my story, and he didn't pay much attention to listening to it. Gradually I lost confidence, if not for his wife's gentle eyes, I would have left long ago.

Bad. There is also an inseparable relationship between being bad and being backward. I would have cried if I could. At last the gentleman's eyes fell upon me. "Why," he asked, "Miss Lu has a family but can't she go home? I quickly and respectfully answered: "Yes. He seemed to be used to it, "It's 2035?" " "yes." His tone was slightly sympathetic: "It's quite embarrassing." I nod. "When I was young, I also met many strangers." "I want to go back." The gentleman laughed, "Maybe you can talk to Nelson Jr."

Who is that?These people are so mysterious. The gentleman said: "In fact, the situation is not too bad, Miss Lu Guigeng?" "Twenty-six." "You can return to your hometown after fifty years, and you will be seventy-six by then," he said. I stood up abruptly, wanting to fight him desperately, still teasing me at this time? Fang Zhongxin held me down. The gentleman raised his head, "Why are you so concerned about gaining and losing time?" There was bitterness in his eyes, which didn't seem to be frivolous, "Even all the gains and losses?"

It turned out that he was a philosopher, and I was moved by his connection with God. I stared blankly at him. Or he has infinite abilities, but at this moment, I feel very sympathetic to him. The gentleman pointed to my forehead and said, "That's your receiver, planted since childhood, and connected to the brain." "No," I said, "this is a learning device. Children are implanted under the skin when they are in school, and they interact with computers. Our computers don't have screens, and we rely on radio waves to communicate." The gentleman shook his head, "No, this is a tracking device."

I laughed along, thinking: Sir, I should know better than you, why are you arguing with me? I said politely: "No, we have used it to absorb knowledge since we were young, so the classroom learning system has been abolished long ago." The gentleman still shook his head. "Your government lied to you," he said. On the other hand, Fang Zhongxin listened intently. I didn't understand at all. This gentleman is more like a person from the future world than I am, with an imagination as deep as sapphire blue. He said to Fang Zhongxin, "I'm tired." Lao Fang and I had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, not daring to stay any longer.

His wife walked us to the door.She gently asked Lao Fang to "greetings to your father Lingtang on your behalf." The old Fang is submissive.We end this visit. Fang Zhongxin and I walked under the night sky. I said, "That gentleman lives up to his reputation." "Well," he said. "Is there any more chocolate?" "You're going to have a sore throat," he handed me the candy. "Already in pain." I opened the paper bag and ate: "Whether he can help me or not, I say he is a rare person." "In recent years he has been a bit lazy and his curiosity has waned."

I asked, "Are all people who have attained perfection like that?" "I don't know. Hey, is that really just your learning device? I thought there would be Lazer beams coming out." I rolled my eyes at him, "You are the one who shines all over." "Yes, my charm." He was smug. Even with ten thousand flaws, Fang Zhongxin is still a warm and innocent person.He is a happy man: he has a hereditary career, but also likes him, lives a carefree life, and has fantasy hobbies. "homesick?" I nod. "You have a good relationship with your husband?" He asked naturally.

I looked around and said to him, "When I go back. Where should I hide the chocolate?" "Is smuggling a crime on your side?" He asked back. He takes me home. This is the second night. Then I decided to stop counting the days so that they wouldn't feel like years any more. That gentleman once said: Wait for fifty years, time will always pass, and I will not return to my hometown by then. I am seventy-six years old, and my mother is fifty-five years old. Or think about it the other way around: I am twenty-six years old, and my mother is only five years old. Alas, time is always the one who jokes with us the most.

Taking advantage of the night, I concentrated on my thoughts. I have never paid close attention to the whispers my mother has confided to me over the years. When I was thirteen years old, the government set up a youth camp, and everyone went to boarding camps, and the distance between me and my parents became bigger and bigger virtually. I only know that my mother is an orphan, my grandfather left their mother and daughter before she was born, and my grandmother died of illness when she was very young. "At that time, any disease could kill a person, especially cancer, which was so rampant that it often took advantage of people's youngest, most promising and most reluctant to leave to cause pain. What's wrong with my grandmother? I searched hard. I couldn’t think of the term, because the disease didn’t recur, and gradually disappeared. What was it? How old was my mother when my grandmother passed away? She said she was very young, and she was studying, yes, a kindergarten class. A very interesting way of learning, children gather together, sing and clap hands, learn words and draw pictures, usually because they are bored at home, parents send them there to have some fun. They will officially enter school at the age of seven. At that time, the mother should Before the age of seven. It can’t be five years old, it can’t be now. I thought in horror. Shuangyang City is so big, how can I find them? “Still sleeping? "

It is Fang Zhongxin. I opened the door. "Can't sleep." "do not think too much." We sit down on the sofa. "The gentleman will find a way for you." "Thank you." "Thank me?" "Yes, spend so much time and effort for me." "Hey, we are friends." "I've been slandering you, sorry." "I don't necessarily appreciate you very much. I always suspect that you are not a citizen of Pluto." We looked at each other and smiled. "I'm not used to it." He sympathized with me. "Yes, look, a pimple suddenly appeared on my face, and I couldn't accept it." He leaned his head over to take a closer look, "You eat too much sugar, your false fire rises, you have eaten at least two kilograms of chocolate in the past two days." "Will there be such a side effect?" "nature." I was annoyed, "I'm really afraid that you will get into unknown bacteria here." He smiled, "Yes, we are so dirty and backward." I am silent. He asked: "Are there no pornographic, gambling and drug thieves in your place?" I hesitated, "All in all, slightly better than you." He sighed, "Or do you not care about social sentiments at all? Like all petty bourgeoisie, living in an ivory tower, out of touch with society, only caring about romance?" I smiled, "How about you, how much do you know? Are you concerned about the miserable life of the lower class? I asked you to describe the miserable conditions in the slums of Shuangyang City in 1985. Can you give a detailed report? You just live Flirting with a girl like Lily in a sweet mist of chocolate." When it was his turn to be silent, he said: "I am also a living member of society, and society needs me." "Yes," I said, "neither of us should make fun of the other." Fang Zhongxin said: "In other words, I and you are of the same clan." We shook hands tightly and finally eliminated the diaphragm. "You said you worked in a library?" "Well, I listen to two books a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and sometimes the book is so bad that it makes me sleepy, and the words, no matter how unpleasant they are, just bounce back." "Listening? Not watching?" "Sight is too important, so I read it with an instrument. The children especially like it. They love listening to books." "I know, like a radio." "But the radio stations are full of rubbish, and you can pick out the books yourself." I reminded him. "Yes." "Old Fang—" "Old Fang!" He yelled strangely. I laughed, "Why, not used to it? I won't be as coquettish as Lily, we are brothers." He also accepted his fate and waved his hand, "What do you want to say?" "How do you go about finding someone in Shuangyang City?" "There are many ways. Of course, we must first see who you plan to be with me." I am silent. He guessed as soon as he guessed, a smart person is a smart person: "Your mother?" "Mother is too young, what I'm looking for is grandma." "Do you think your grandmother is older or you?" he asked. Listen, this kind of question should be fatal. I replied, "Maybe I'm a little older." "What's her name?" he said. I have no idea. I stayed there and I didn't know it. "What, you don't know? She's too heartless, and she's not the eighteenth generation of her ancestors. There are good reasons to forget that she is your grandmother!" Fang Zhongxin became angry. "How many people can say his grandmother's name in one breath?" "I can." "What do you mean, how many things your ancestors have left for you, and you inherit all their blessings, of course you must keep in mind, and my grandmother is the most pitiful woman, who was abandoned by her husband early in the morning, and she was born in her twenties. She fell ill and died, who has the patience to remember her name?" The old Fang jumped up, "Progress, is this called progress compared to us? You are too snobbish and scary." He was right. I bowed my head in shame.Too busy with his personal future and too self-centered, not only did his grandmother not notice, but even his mother was negligent. No wonder she was so lonely and insecure. "Why, in the future world, the status of the elderly will be reduced to zero? Because of artificial babies and youth camps, there is no need for the elderly?" He scolded me. My heart ached, "No," I said, "Society encourages respect for the elderly. It's my fault. I'm a cold-blooded animal." Annoyed to vomit blood. Why don't you listen to your mother?It's not that she's too busy to find time, it's not that she doesn't have time, why let her fend for herself? "Think about it, think about it, what's her name?" I smiled remorsefully, "Or I can call my mother." When Fang Zhongxin heard this, he laughed out loud. Talked about not going to sleep until midnight.In my sleep, I faintly heard my grandma calling me. "Love green, love green." She has a face that looks exactly like mine, and her voice is full of affection. How can you call me love green?I've never seen her before, how could she be in a dream? Woke up in tears. When I looked into the imager, I was shocked to see my pale face, dark circles under my eyes, and small blisters on my chin. How did I become like this?I get old in a few days, here one year is equal to twenty years, at this moment, I really look older than my grandma. I couldn't help screaming. Fang Zhongxin rushed in and asked, "What's going on, are you having a nightmare?" "Worse than a nightmare." I covered my face with my hands and complained. "You didn't eat well, fork refused to sleep well, alas, just get used to it." Fang said. "Never," I whimpered. "Do you remember?" "No." "What is your honorable name?" Fang Zhongxin asked. "Her surname is Deng, Deng Aimei." I said. "Your name is Lu?" "yes." "You and your father's surname?" "Any other options?" "Of course, you can take your mother's surname. Lingtang may follow Ling's grandmother's surname, do you understand?" "I can understand you in vernacular." I gave him a white look. "Hey," he said, "I just wanted to help you." "You mean, if you look for my grandma according to Deng Aimei's three words, you may never find it?" "correct." "Then what should I do?" I looked sad. "There are always some clues. If you think about it carefully, it's not an urgent matter. It seems that you will live here for at least a year and a half." "Shut your crow's mouth." "You're here again. I've never seen a woman as nasty as you. Don't swear." He taught me. "Sorry." I was discouraged. He asked me to have breakfast. The man seems to love toast. It takes about 3,000 gallons to make half a kilogram of bread, including the energy consumed in planting wheat, transporting it, and processing it. However, after Fang Zhongxin eats the half kilogram of bread, the amount of labor produced is only equivalent to one and a half add calories. How crazy.Therefore, food like bread must be eliminated. Most importantly, it's not tasty. I even drank two glasses of water to wash my stomach. They are not used to anything, and they don’t have all the trivial habitual utensils in life. The bottles and jars they use are terrible. Fang Zhongxin’s hair is longer than mine, and there are four or five kinds of supplies for hair. It took half an hour and it was baked with hot air, but the result was nothing more than that.I don't think he's the most handsome guy ever, but then again, he's good looking.
