Li Xiaodun was dizzy after drinking. He gradually fell asleep as he listened to the conversation between Bi Wei and Wang Yuan.

If anyone approaches Li Xiaodun's head and observes carefully at this time, he can see the eyeballs under Li Xiaodun's noses slowly moving.

Li Xiaodun found himself standing on the rural road leading to the county town that he walked with his grandfather every day when he was a child.

When Li Xiaodun was wondering, a car horn sounded, and a big-nosed military green Jiefang truck passed by.

The car drove by, and the yellow dust rushed towards Li Xiaodun. He choked and hurriedly covered his nose.

In my impression, this road was built into an asphalt road in the 1990s. Sandy roads like today were in the 1980s and before.

Li Xiaodun walked towards the county town in confusion.

There are rows of poplar trees on both sides of the road. Looking out, there are lots of crops.

Li Xiaodun remembered that this farmland had been built one after another in the late 1990s. The current county town is almost connected to the village where my grandfather lives.

The dust raised by the car slowly sinks, and Li Xiaodun begins to smell a fresh tone. This is a breath he has never smelled since he was a teenager, whether in his hometown or in Pingcheng where he was in college.

Some people came over one after another. Some were driving carriages, some drove donkey carriages, and some carried empty loads and were walking back with their legs.

"Xiao Dun! Come and pick up your grandpa after school?"

An aunt sitting in the carriage greeted Li Xiaodun intimately.

Li Xiaodun turned around and thought that the aunt who was talking to him looked familiar but couldn't name it.

He just nodded in confusion.

"This child is obedient and does not worry at all." The aunt continued.

The others who came towards him also greeted Li Xiaodun with a smile. The smiles were very kind.

"Little Dun!"

A fat, eight or nine-year-old child jumped out of the donkey cart and ran towards Li Xiaodun.

This time, Li Xiaodun recognized the child at a glance.

"Brother Second Fat." Li Xiaodun shouted excitedly.

Erfei brother is a few years older than Li Xiaodun. He has an older brother above him. Because he has grown fat since he was a child, everyone calls him Erfei.

Erfei is very good compared to Xiaodun, who is a few years younger than him. He will take him with him no matter when he climbs trees and picks fruits or goes to the fields to pick melons.

But when Erfei was eight or nine years old, she went to the river to catch fish once and never came up again.

It took the people in the village a whole day to find Erfei from the river. The water plants wrapped around Erfei's ankles.

In the past two or three years, when it comes to Erfei, the men in the village will sigh and wipe their tears.

The second fat brother looked up at Li Xiaodun with envy: "I heard that you are all in college, but you are still in Pingcheng's university."

Li Xiaodun felt his eyes were a little wet and just nodded awkwardly.

"Are you going to pick up your grandfather? You go first, let's talk later." Erfei said to Li Xiaodun. Then he turned around and ran and chased the donkey cart.

Li Xiaodun looked at the people's backs for a while and turned around and continued to walk towards the county town.

It should be time for get off work in the afternoon, and Li Xiaodun heard the melodious singing from the loudspeaker opposite the county government from afar.

In that distant small mountain village, small mountain village

My cute mother has white hair

...

The female singer sang the song that was sung in the 1980s with a sweet voice.

Li Xiaodun was stunned. Grandpa didn't like listening to popular songs, but he especially liked listening to Zhu Xiaolin's song.

The setting sun shone on Li Xiaodun, and he was completely immersed in the past and could not extricate himself.

Walking on the main street of the county town, there are still short houses on both sides of the street. The tallest one is the gray three-story building of the county government.

People in the government compound pushed their bicycles out one after another, rode their bicycles home.

When people passed by a shoe repair stall, they ordered to say hello to the old man who repaired shoes.

When Li Xiaodun saw the old man wearing a white-washed grass-green military uniform and reading glasses sitting on the stool, he spiked his shoes and then. Tears burst out from his eyes.

Li Xiaodun cried and walked to the old man and sat on the small stool for the person who came to repair his shoes.

The old man turned his head slightly and looked at Li Xiaodun on the reading glasses.

"Come? Why are you crying? No hope!" the old man said with a slight angrily.

The tears on Li Xiaodun's face could not be stopped.

"Grandpa, why don't you tell me and leave!" Li Xiaodun said with a sob.

"What do you mean? Everyone will have such a day sooner or later. Do you still remember my old comrade-in-arms Secretary Lao Ma? I just left a few days ago, and he left too. If you had come one step early, you could see him, and you had just ridden your bike." The old man said in a gentle tone.

Of course Li Xiaodun remembers Secretary Lao Ma.

His primary and middle schools are all attended by the county town.

One winter, a smiling fat old man pushed his bicycle out of the government compound and greeted his grandfather first and smiled and said to him: "I heard that you got the first place in school every year? Good boy, you have a good future! I just finished the group meeting, and I specially brought two oranges to reward you."

After saying that, the fat old man took out two oranges and stuffed them into Li Xiaodun's hand and rode his bicycle away.

Oranges from the 1980s are so sweet.

Li Xiaodun also knew that it was actually a beautiful memory left behind in that era when life was scarce.

"Put some shoe polish on the leather shoes on your feet and rub them." Grandpa said.

Li Xiaodun obediently picked up the leather shoes and drove them easily and put them on oil and polish them.

This is the work he would do before he went to elementary school.

"Be kind to be a person! Be more down-to-earth."

The old man said again what he said to Li Xiaodun countless times when he was alive.

"When you were born, I searched the Xinhua Dictionary for two or three days before giving you the current name. Dun means being kind!" The old man said while working.

"But kindness is not weakness! Kindness is not shameless! Be honest and honest! Be honest and honest!" the old man continued.

Li Xiaodun habitually agreed and turned around and saw an old lady looking at him with a smile diagonally opposite. There was a white box on the small cart in front of the old lady.

That was Grandma Yang, who was always pushing a cart on the street to sell ice cream when Li Xiaodun was a child. It turned out that she had also come here.

"Grandpa, there are not many people on the street, let's go home." Li Xiaodun said.

The old man straightened his waist and pointed at the loudspeaker on the telephone pole and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I'll leave after listening to Yue Fei's rumor. Today I happened to talk about the part where Gao Chong picked up the rig!"

The sun has set. The half-hour Yue Fei's rumor has also been broadcast.

The old man and Li Xiaodun both stood up to pack up their things.

Li Xiaodun struggled to carry the wooden box containing the tools to the back seat of the bicycle and tied it tightly with a rope.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

The old man pointed to the bicycle beam and smiled and said, "When you were a child, you just sat here with tools in the back seat. Now you can't do it."

"Ride slowly, I'll follow you behind you."

Li Xiaodun said pitifully.

"Go back, come back to see me when you have something to do," the old man said to Li Xiaodun with a smile.

Li Xiaodun stared blankly at her grandfather struggling to leave on her bicycle.
