Because at that time, the four of us often went there to eat noodles. Small noodles were two yuan, large noodles were 2.5 yuan, and an egg was fifty cents.
He still had a deep impression of that stall, not because Ji Guangyuan always poured half a bottle of vinegar into his bowl every time he ate noodles.
It was because one afternoon, while eating noodles, I suddenly had a whim and said that I wanted to earn five million yuan by buying lottery tickets before I turned thirty.
Ji Guangyuan was eating the noodles slowly as he analyzed for me. If I had five million yuan, a serving of noodles would be 2.50 yuan, and an egg would be 3.00 yuan. According to the most luxurious and ideal standard of living, plus an egg, it would be 3.50 yuan in total. He dipped his chopsticks into the bowl of soup and calculated on the table. Five million yuan would buy 1,428,571 bowls of noodles, plus an egg. You would eat a bowl of noodles every morning. If he ate two bowls of noodles at noon and two bowls at night, he would have five bowls of noodles a day. He could eat for a total of 285,714 days. Divided by 365 days a year, he would have a total of 782 years, 283 days, 23 hours, 16 minutes, and 48 seconds.
When he came up with such a number, not only did it shock me, Dong Xingshun, and Li Liang, but it also shocked the middle-aged couple selling the board.
Ji Guangyuan's calculations were so accurate, and he was a regular customer. When we bought the noodles, we only asked for one egg and never asked for two. Adding two eggs to a plate of noodles became our most extravagant wish. The middle-aged couple made an exception and added an extra egg to each of us that day.
Thus, the four of us enjoyed a very pleasant and joyful afternoon. That 782 years and 283 days would become an eternal number in my heart.
Even now, he remembered it so clearly.
I always thought that the summer break of 2007 was the most relaxed and comfortable time of my life.
That is why I am willing to spend some time and effort to describe it.
Many interesting things happened during that summer vacation. For example, because we lived in a village and not a small district, the house we rented was built on the original roof with two bedrooms and a living room. One of the main reasons why he chose to live there was that the rent was relatively cheap. The rent for a 70 - 80 square meter house was only 120 yuan a month. Another reason was that the bedroom had excellent lighting. The four large windows allowed sunlight to shine into almost every corner of the house.
Of course, this house had its shortcomings. There were only screens and no curtains.
Apart from that, there was another shortcoming. There was no toilet in the house. The toilet was downstairs, and it was outside the door. In other words, if we wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, we need to go downstairs first, open the door, and go out.
At that time, because it was summer vacation, Ji Guangyuan decided to go home for a week before coming back. So, he left me, Dong Xingshun, and Li Liang there.
Dong Xingshun sometimes goes to his aunt's place to stay, so sometimes, the two-bedroom house is only occupied by Li Liang and me.
The two of us felt that it was too troublesome to go to the toilet outside the door downstairs at night, so Li Liang came up with a bad idea. If we go to the toilet at night, we won't go downstairs. We'll go to the kitchen sink.
