Rebirth breaks you straight

There is a lush willow forest on the river embankment, which was planted to protect the embankment during the construction of water conservancy in the 60s, and it has been a long time ago.The trees are very tall and lush. People often take a rest here when they are hot and tired from farm work. Children also like to play under the shade of willows.

Tan Yang climbed up the embankment and got under the shade of willows, and after a while he heard his joyful voice: "Brother Zan, come and see, there are many under this tree, five, six..., Still on the trunk."

Chen Zan also quickly hid in the cool shade of a tree, and saw Tan Yang crouching down and searching carefully at the root of a big willow tree.He also looked down, and sure enough, he saw two muddy cicada sloughs at the root of the willow tree, so he bent down to pick them up.

After a while, Tan Yang picked up a handful and said, "A lot, brother Zan, put them in the net bag." He said, throwing away all the cicadas caught in the net bag, there is cicada slough, why would he want to eat it? , making money is important.

Chen Zan also put the cicada slough he picked up into the net bag, and continued to pick up the cicada slough with his head down.Tan Yang asked him: "Brother Zan, why is there so much mud in the shell?"

Chen Zan said: "I know that when I didn't grow up, I lived underground. When I grew up, I got out of the ground, so the shell is full of mud."

"No wonder." Tan Yang muttered, "There are so many round holes in the ground, could it be the hole of Zhizhi?"

Chen Zan nodded: "Yes."

Tan Yang was amazed: "How did it get into the ground? Can it grow up? Doesn't it eat?"

Chen Zan said: "They live in places with tree roots underground, and grow up by sucking the juice of tree roots. It takes four years to grow underground before they become cicadas and come out of the ground."

Tan Yang's eyes were straightened: "Four years? They are all underground, how long can they live?"

"I'll die after the summer." Chen Zan said lightly. To be honest, after he knew this fact, he was definitely not as peaceful as he is now. Waiting for four years in the dark, just for the sunshine of a summer, such a life should be How tragic.

Tan Yang was also completely taken aback, and murmured: "Its bark is so joyous and annoying, so its lifespan is so short."

Chen Zan smiled silently, and continued to look down for the cicadas.Not to mention, there were quite a lot of cicada sloughs on this willow-shaded path, and soon, the two of them picked up a net bag.Chen Zan took the net bag again and filled it until it was full, only to realize that it was getting late.

Tan Yang said: "Brother Zan, why don't you go back after taking a shower."

Chen Zan looked at his body, he climbed up and down to pick up the cicada sloughs this afternoon, and his body was already dirty and black: "Go back and get your clothes, I need to change after taking a shower. By the way, send the cicada shell back."

When I got home, Tan Tian had already returned, and was sitting on the bluestone bench in front of Chen Zan’s house. When I saw Chen Zan and Tan Yang coming back talking and laughing, I suddenly felt that something had been hollowed out, and I felt an indescribable loss. And anger welled up.Tan Tian didn't understand what it was like, he felt that what belonged to him was taken away by his younger brother, he stood up and said to Tan Yang angrily: "Tan Yang, tomorrow you go to the street with Dad, I won't go!"

Tan Yang endured his anger inexplicably: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Chen Zan also looked at Chat with some suspicion: "Tanzi, did you quarrel with your father?"

Tan Tian raised his head and said in a rough voice: "It's not noisy, I don't want to go!"

Chen Zan said: "If you don't want to go, it's okay to take a day off once in a while, just tell your dad, he will agree."

Tan Tian felt that Chen Zan was favoring Tan Yang: "I have been there for so many days, what happened to Tan Yang for a few days?"

"Didn't you say that Yang Yang can't cook?" Chen Zan woke up, and Tan Tian called Tan Yang's name directly, probably because he was angry with Tan Yang, but he didn't hear Tan Yang say that he had quarreled with his brother.

The chatter started to yell: "Can't do it, can't learn it? I haven't learned it yet."

Tan Yang looked at the angry chatter with some helplessness, not knowing what offended him.

Chen Zan shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that he was in a nervous mood when chatting. He took the cicada into the house and prepared to find a snakeskin bag to put it in.Tan Yang hurriedly followed.

Chatting just felt that he swung his fist violently and smashed into the cotton pile, but there was no reaction at all, the fire in his heart was burning even hotter.He stretched out his hand violently, pulled the net bag from Tan Yang's hand, and threw it on the ground, as if he was about to step on it.

"Don't step on it!" Tan Yang has quick eyes and quick hands, and pushed the chatter away.Tan Tian was not on guard, and sat down on the ground. He was a little dumbfounded. This was the first time Tan Yang successfully challenged his authority as an elder brother.

Usually, as long as there is more than one boy in the family, fighting is inevitable. This is the same as the male survival rule in the animal world. The older ones want to establish their own prestige, seize their own territory, and enslave the younger ones, and fists and kicks are indispensable.The young one was unwilling to be enslaved and oppressed, so he wanted to resist, so the house was always very lively, and the parents scolded him constantly.

Chatting is the boss of the family, apart from relying on his elder brother's status to establish his authority, what's more important is to rely on his own fist to win it.Tan Yang was usually taught to be docile by him, and occasionally resisted, but they all ended in failure, after all, his height and strength were there.

Chen Zan heard the movement, turned around and came back: "What are you doing chatting?"

Tan Tian came to his senses, turned over and got up: "Tan Yang, if you dare to push me, see if I don't beat you to death."

Tan Yang did not show any weakness: "Who told you to step on the cicada shell we picked up, this is for sale!" In Tan Yang's heart, he has the reason, so there is no need to be afraid.

As soon as Chat Tian heard that he was going to sell for money, he quickly turned to look at Chen Zan.

Chen Zan sighed, took the net bag in Tan Yang's hand, poured the cicada slough into the snakeskin bag, and said: "When you pick it up tomorrow, take the basket, this thing is light, and a snakeskin bag weighs no more than two catties." , I’m afraid I have to pick up a lot before selling it.”

Seeing Chen Zan ignoring him, Tan Tian felt so uncomfortable that he was dying, and said stubbornly, "I'll go tomorrow too."

Chen Zan said: "Tell your father, if you don't go to town tomorrow, you won't go, it will be a holiday."

Chat honestly replied: "Okay."

Chen Zan put the things into the house, and went to get clothes and towels.Tan Yang ignored his brother and went back to get his clothes and handkerchief to take a bath.

Chen Zan came out with the good things, saw that Tantian was still standing at the door of his house, and gave a little surprise: "Tanzi, why are you still here, why don't you take a bath?"

Chatting was like waking up from a dream, and the look on his face finally relaxed: "Oh, wait for me, I'll be fine soon." Saying that, he ran to his home.

Chen Zan sneered—what a nerve.

While taking a bath, Tan Tian was still retaliating against Tan Yang, swam to Tan Yang, pressed him into the water, and splashed the river water, splashing on Tan Yang with all his strength.After all, Tan Yang is often used to being suppressed by chatting, so he had to hide everywhere, but chatting is better than him, and he can be chased wherever he goes, and even choked on a few mouthfuls of water under chatting teasing.

Tan Yang had no choice but to beg for mercy, and then asked Chen Zan for protection. Tan Tian's anger started from his heart, and the water splashed harder, even Chen Zan was affected.This time chatting can be regarded as touching the tiger's ass, Chen Zan is not the one who suffers, he joins forces with Tan Yang, and shoots the water like a torrent of mountains and pushes towards Chatian, Chatter hurriedly closed his eyes and splashed water back, splashing all over for a while.

Chatting with both hands was no match for four palms, he was beaten to the point of begging for forgiveness.However, his resentment also dissipated in this kind of playfulness, Chen Zan still played with himself as usual, without the slightest intention of being born, maybe he was thinking too much.

After taking a bath, the three boys laughed and made noises, as if the previous estrangement did not exist.But in Chat Tian's heart, he couldn't hide a faint melancholy, he was afraid that after this summer vacation, Chen Zan would gradually separate from him.So she eagerly looked forward to going to school, so that she and Chen Zan could be inseparable again.

The next day, Tantian ate two chestnuts from his father in exchange for the chance to stay at home.When Chen Zan got up for a run in the morning, he finally had a companion. Tan Yang had no habit of running. Although he went to the pine forest to pick up fungi every day, he rarely got up for a run on time like Chen Zan.

But chatting would go for a run, and he couldn't tell whether it was for exercising or to accompany Chen Zan, in short, it had become a habit.

Tan Tian didn't feel how precious the time at home was on weekdays, but he went to the town and was arrested for several days as a young man, so he missed all the fun at home.So this day was non-stop, collecting fungus in the morning, and picking up cicada sloughs in the morning and afternoon, and I didn't feel uncomfortable even when my face was oily from the sun, because I could be with Chen Zan.

However, as the day passed, Chatting had to face the reality, and he still had to go to his father's place.Although Tan Weimin's temper has calmed down a lot now, he is still erratic: if the meal is not cooked well, if it is mushy, there will be a burst of chestnuts to eat; Playing chess to pass the time, chatting no matter whether you win or lose, you have to be reprimanded... every day is inevitable.

Raising your hand to greet a child, opening your mouth to scold a little bastard, a bastard, this is talking about Weimin is a way of daily communication.Chatting is so hard, don’t mention how uncomfortable it is. When I was at home, there were three brothers for Tan Weimin to choose from. When I was beaten and scolded, I could hide far away, but now the target range is greatly reduced, and there is nowhere to chat. You can escape, so you can only bite the bullet and suffer.

After a while, chatting became familiar with the people in the surrounding shops, and when he saw something was wrong, he would go to the next shop to take refuge.

When I came back from the town that day, I chatted excitedly with Chen Zan about something: "Xiao Zan, I found a very interesting place on the street today. Someone opened a video game hall today. Those video game machines are very special. It’s fun, the picture is colorful, better than TV, and the game is also very fun, I even tried it, it’s free, no money.”

When chatting about the game console, his eyes were bright, as if he had discovered some treasure, and when he said that he wanted to collect money, he licked his lower lip eagerly, as if he was a bit regretful.

Chen Zan's heart skipped a beat. In the early 90s, before the Internet was opened, video game consoles were popular all over China. They were simply the biggest time and money killers for boys of this age.

When I was in middle school in my previous life, there were not a few mischievous boys in my class who didn’t play video games. Some of them were addicted to games, and even climbed over the wall to play games in the middle of the night.That's why teachers hate students who play games, and because of this, boys who are addicted to games are basically labeled as bad students.

Chen Zan remembers that Tan Tian went to a middle school in the township, and often hang out in the game hall with a group of friends. Several times he came across Chat Tian coming out of the game hall with a cigarette in his mouth, so he didn't have a good impression of the game hall.

"Tanzi, don't play game consoles." Chen Zan thought for a while, and finally said what was in his heart, "My aunt said that my uncle's school had game addiction, and his academic performance dropped from the top to the bottom. A few of them. And in order to play games, they even steal people’s money.”

Chatting scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm just trying to play today, and they will start asking for money tomorrow, a dime for a game currency, it's so expensive, who spends money to play that?"

Hearing this, Chen Zan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he learned how to make money and manage money, so he really knows how to cherish money and things.He wanted to say that it's not bad to play occasionally, they now have hundreds of dollars in savings.I'm just afraid that if I don't have enough self-control in chatting, if I indulge in it, it will be really irreparable at that time.Then I changed the subject and started talking about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
