Chapter 11 Distant Memories

When I was young, I had a classmate named Niu Shisan. Yes, he was called Niu Shisan. No matter it was his ID card, household registration booklet, or even his passport, his name was always this name.There is a short childhood memory - he is my idol.

Regarding the name, as far as I know, it was when his father registered for him when he was a child. The staff thought it was this, and his father was neither literate nor caring, so he had such a name.

His father's name is Niu Shangtian, and his mother's name is Yuguanyin.

Sorry, I made a mistake this time. His father's name is Niu Shangtian, which is very concise and clear; his mother's name is Yu Guanying.

It is said... of course from what I've heard...

Back then, I can't remember if it was [-] or [-].

Niu Shisan was about ten years old at that time, and his father, Niu Shangtian, was sorry to be Niu Shangtian.Because of the flood at home, he was forced to go out to work. Mi has no culture, so he went to Guangdong to do odd jobs. One day he helped people fight the package and the next day he helped people move bricks.

When it came time to go home during the Chinese New Year, he simply didn't have enough money to take home with him.

Just in time, he was wandering on the side of the road not knowing what to do next, when he heard two people chatting, he could hear Cantonese in a daze, anyway, he was talking about a newly opened shop selling lottery tickets, how much is two yuan? Days can become 500 million. 500 million, what kind of concept is that, anyway, he doesn’t know, the most he’s seen is 5000 yuan, when the salary was paid some time ago, the boss was holding a pile of money and said it was five or six thousand.

He didn't care if it was true or not, he hurried two steps and followed the two people in front.Around the corner meets... love, sports lottery love.

It's a small shop, I don't know about it, if I've been there, and I just heard about it, who knows what it's like.

Anyway, it’s bullshit, um, when Ueda saw those two people bought the same five numbers for ten yuan each, and saw that the two had left, he handed the eight yuan he had tucked away for a long time to the lottery buyer Miss, said nervously: "Miss, I only have eight yuan here, so you can subtract two from their numbers at will!"

That lottery ticket seller is also considered a strong person. Maybe everyone who bought lottery tickets in those days was talking about it. She didn't care when she heard what Niu Shangtian said. According to the number just now, each number has been reduced by two dozen. Four bet numbers, one minus two is nine, zero minus two is eight.

In this way, Niu Ueda went to the lottery shop every day to ask when the money could be exchanged.

Come back after the lottery, and change it for you if you win.

In the past two days, he figured out that he had made a mistake. This was not an exchange of money, and his eight yuan would most likely be wasted.But after all, I can't let go, and I still come every day.

I was still thinking in my heart that after this incident, I must make good money, let my son learn foreign languages, and learn Cantonese to avoid such losses in the future.

Until..., I can't remember, others can't remember, I don't know which Saturday it is, anyway, it was not far from the Chinese New Year.

Niu Ueda couldn't see the draw the night before, so he went to the betting point very early on Saturday morning to wait.

The wait is three hours, and then someone opens the door to write the number, one pair, seven numbers are the same, and another pair, it is really the same.

Wow, Niu Shangtian yelled at the lady who sold lottery tickets to exchange money for him. He wanted to exchange money, 500 million, or four, two 1000 million, three 500 million, wow, four is 2000 million In this case, he still hasn't figured out the situation, but the ignorant is fearless, and in this case, he is considered a strong man if he fainted without being stimulated.

Regardless of the surprised lady who almost fainted, he clamored for others to give him ten thousand yuan, and asked for two thousand.

Fortunately, an old man who had talked with him two days ago couldn't see it when he came, so he took him to the sports betting center.

That morning, the prize redemption staff of the sports lottery center had been busy for a long time and finally sent away this old man who knew nothing.

With a deposit slip of 590 million and more than 1 yuan in his pocket, Niu Ueda returned home in fine clothes.

After a while of publicity, Niu Shangtian really became Niu Shangtian, and then there was Niu Shisan in my memory.

At that time, our school was an experimental foreign language school that had just been established, with a 12-year consistent system from elementary school to high school.

A few days after the Chinese New Year school started, a tall boy came to the class. I can't remember how tall he was, but he was taller than many junior high school students or even high school students.

He introduced himself that his name was Niu Shisan, which was written in the household registration booklet.

At that time, everyone laughed at him, and some people laughed and said, "My name is Ma Twelve, and his name is Yang Shishi, haha." In short, there are so many things, but at that time everyone didn't realize that this name could be written as Niu 13.I just thought the name was funny.

Fortunately, he was big, and the others didn't dare to go too far, so the matter was let go, and everyone got used to this transfer student, even though everyone was new to the school at that time, because the buildings were all new.

There are many foreign teachers in the school, and only at that time, I heard that there are no foreign teachers now.But the foreign teachers at that time were really good. They taught us many activities besides foreign languages. Many boys liked an American teacher named Bill because he taught everyone how to play basketball. Even Niu Shisan was taught to be a center forward. , Let's call him a center, because he is tall and big, and he reacts quickly and catches the ball very steadily. He is a real rebounder.

Unfortunately, when that semester was over, Bill returned to the United States.

Later, although the students also played basketball, there were fewer people, only those who played a little better, because a new female teacher named Daphne came, and she taught everyone how to play football.

Daphne has a very handsome son, who plays football really well. He himself said his name is David Beckham, but Teacher Daphne said his name was Mike Taylor.

So we all called him Mike, because many people knew David Beckham at that time, and some people even had to worry about being beaten if they called themselves Beckham, but as a foreigner, everyone forgave him.

Mike likes playing with Niu Shisan the most. He often asks Niu Shisan to play football together. He heard that it was because Niu Shisan was a good goalkeeper. He is very twisted in juggling the ball, but it is not clear why everyone associates juggling the ball with goalkeeping.

At that time, everyone only knew that Niu Shisan worked hard in his studies, and he was even better at learning English. When many of us could only say "Hello, Nicetomeetyou", he could talk to Mike for a long time. At that time, everyone envied him, and it should be the same. That was the first time someone idolized him, at least I was one of them, even though it wasn't that long ago when people thought he was a big fool.

Two years later, we graduated from elementary school, and our English is still only as good as a few nursery rhymes, but everyone knows that Niu Shisan's English is as fluent as Mike's, and Niu Shisan's English is even better. In the third quiz, he scored 1 points, which is No.99 in our school, but Mike only scored 13 points, and his Chinese is only [-] points. Chinese is still difficult for him, but at least he can already The conversation is fluent, because he and Niu [-] speak English on the first, third, and fifth days, and Chinese on the second, fourth, and sixth.

In my memory, many people worshiped him in the few days after graduation. Of course, the worship at this time did not last long.

After the graduation ceremony, the school organized us graduates to watch a football match in the junior high school. This is the football field in the middle school, and it is also one of the best hardware implementations in the school. The plastic turf used by the school, everyone knows that the school is carrying out campus publicity in disguise. I hope that our junior high school can continue to study here, otherwise why the graduation ceremony should be held at the middle school.

Just because it happens every year, no one is surprised.

The strange thing is that this time during the football match, Mike and Niu Shisan were wearing No. 31 and No. 13 jerseys and stood beside the field listening to a white man.

This white man is so handsome. Of course, this is what the girls said. Later, I heard that he is Teacher Daphne’s husband, that is, Mike’s father. He is an engineer hired by a certain company here to help with the construction. The principal is a friend.

The teachers in the first foreign language schools were really good, but it was a pity that they failed to develop well and became overcrowded. Otherwise, this should be a good model for building a school.

The first half was not interesting, at least for us, because the junior high school team may not be so good, of course they should be better than us.

In the second half, the physical education teacher of the junior high school called Niu Shisan and Mike over and said a few words, and then let them go to the side behind. At that time, we thought that the teacher wanted Niu Shisan and Mike to experience the junior high school students Football level, otherwise they would not be placed on the weaker team. Of course, everyone knows that Mike is very good.

But the actual situation is far beyond our expectations. Niu Shisan is indeed a goalkeeper, but he is so good. In the past, when playing basketball, he could catch the ball steadily and no one cared, but now it is different. The strength is different, he can still catch the ball steadily, especially the penalty kick of a third-year senior I know was held firmly by him, not by throwing it out, but by really grabbing it with both hands !
At that time, I felt that everyone around me was in high spirits, and some people probably secreted a lot of hormones. This kind of watching game has never happened even if I went to watch the game with my father. I can only say that it is because it is closer to everyone. Bar!

Mike, on the other hand, has fast speed, good skills, and his body is no worse than other junior high school students on the field. No one in the junior high school can handle him, and it is very difficult to defend him. He not only has good skills, but also passes the ball very accurately. Passed to the striker, and then the striker who was originally on the bench scored more goals than the main force, but I forgot what the score was at that time. Anyway, the sum of the two sides is definitely not single digits.

Of course, Mike could shoot the goal himself. In the end, Niu Shisan and his side won, because the opponent did not score a goal in the second half. Niu Shisan was so good that he hugged the penalty kick. What can the opponent's forward do?

I remember that those of us who had just graduated were so excited, as if we had won. I still remember that more than 60 of the more than 50 graduates of our class continued to study in junior high school there. I don't know if it was because of that game.

Anyway, a lot of people in our group were playing football afterwards, and I heard that a few of them got extra points for their football skills during the college entrance examination.It's a pity that we never saw Niu Shisan and Mike again when we were in junior high school. We heard from other foreign teachers that Teacher Daphne returned to England, and Niu Shisan went with them.

At that time, many students also said that if they knew that we were also serious about learning English, then Teacher Daphne would take us to England.

In short, Niu Shisan has been away for six or seven years!

Fortunately, I was admitted to a good university during the college entrance examination this year. I got the notification letter, and everything is at ease. A group of brothers from high school have been stationed in the Internet cafe for a long time. Onlookers.

After the game on the first day, everyone supported different teams, but they were all happier. At least the result of the game was good, although some processes were not very good.

Next up is Manchester United.

"The game has started, hey, who is ThirteenNew! Why haven't I heard of this person before!" Looking at the substitute list, everyone in Birmingham is basically unfamiliar and doesn't care, but looking at Manchester United, the previous NO .13 is Park Ji-sung from South Korea, but now he has turned into a goalkeeper named ThirteenNew.

"ThirteenNew, I don't know, Google it!" The others were also in a daze, they had never heard of such a person.

"Damn it, it's called ThirteenNew, why isn't it called NewThirteen. Bull 13, what a bullshit!"

"Wait, what did you call it, where is the person from..."
