Rebirth Night Talk

Hearing someone yell, Zhao Xuejun turned around and looked at the two people in front of him. Min Shun was riding a bicycle with the back shelf removed, and Peng Juan was sitting on the front beam of the bicycle and lying on her stomach, holding two pairs of bicycles in her hand. roller skates.

"It's you guys, where are you going to play?" Zhao Xuejun greeted happily.

"Roller skating, how about you, I told Min Shun from a long distance that it was you, and he said no... I just said, the whole Wanlin, it is you who can walk out of this kind of pace that is abandoned by the times at any time, slowly... How about Min Shun, right!"

Peng Juan and Min Shun are buddies, um...maybe they are friends in trouble, they have been on good terms since elementary school, they sat in the last row of the class together, and later played truant together, climbed the school wall and were caught truant, and were checked in front of the whole school Steel class brethren.

Peng Juan's father got married again and gave her a younger brother.Peng Juan quarreled with her family a few times, but never with her little stepmother. Now she lives with her grandma.The old man is at most taking care of her food and clothing, and the rest is up to the girl.A while ago, I heard that this girl even made a blood alliance with several girls, so she called them the Eight Sisters.

After staying one level, Zhao Xuejun separated from the two.However, despite the separation, our relationship has always been very good.He is only in the first grade of junior high school this year, and he went to the same school as his elder brother and second elder brother.Peng Juan and Min Shun are in the sixth middle school near their home.Big brother Zhao Xuejun, and second brother belong to that kind...the kind of people who are more likely to come to trouble.No matter in society or in school, Zhao Xuejun was protected under the wings of his two elder brothers and was never bullied.

Min Shun and Peng Juan have had an inexplicably good relationship with Zhao Xuejun since they were young, but Zhao Xuejun treats them indifferently. His attitude towards them has always been the same as when he was a child, and he is still the same now.In the past, when Brother Min Shun was shot, the whole family went downhill.At that time, if a death row prisoner came out of your family, the society would just look down on you.Later...Min Shun's mother rented out the basement of the Cultural Palace and installed three TVs to play videos.The situation in his family is gradually improving, and Min Shun has more friends. Unfortunately, Min Shun started to pick friends at this time.

"Come roller skating with us. My treat..." Min Shun invited Zhao Xuejun generously.

Zhao Xuejun's eyes hurt from the three-meter-long white Xu Wenqiang knitted scarf around Min Shun's neck. It's only autumn and he isn't hot.

"I won't go, and I won't. My mother has something waiting for me in the factory."

Min Shun got out of the car and asked Peng Juan to support the car and continue walking. He put his arms around Zhao Xuejun's neck as soon as he stretched out his arms, and said affectionately: "What are you doing at home every day? I don't go every time I tell you. You said, yesterday, my mother brought me a few videotapes. "Drunken Master" and "Burning the Red Lotus Temple" are so good, I almost died from laughing. You can go to my house to watch it at night, by the way, and Brigitte Lin Act."

"I won't go. There are many smokers in your house, so I cough." Zhao Xuejun still refused.

Seeing Zhao Xuejun's refusal, Min Shun didn't force him, he followed Zhao Xuejun for a walk naturally, regardless of whether Zhao Xuejun was willing or not.

"...Your school is boring. Our No. [-] Middle School is better. It's close to home. We grew up together when we were young... If you fight or shout, it's all from our old school." Min Shun babbled, Zhao Xuejun Listening with a smile, he doesn't hate Min Shun.This guy looked like a ruffian, so there was nothing he could do about it. There was an older brother who was sentenced to death in the family, and the family was afraid of being shocked when they became short of breath.Min Shun is tough, he beats anyone who doesn't like him.Those who call back and forth have become famous in the back street of the government, and there are more and more people around them.The eight sisters who are equivalent to Peng Juan, this guy's circle is called the Four King Kongs, and he is also the Four King Kongs. Why doesn't he guard the temple gate, and it will be more vivid with a guitar and an umbrella.

"If you don't go to the roller skating rink, how about we go play billiards?" Min Shun continued to invite.

Zhao Xuejun looked sincere: "It's really something, why don't you change the date?" After Zhao Xuejun finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, get me a few plates of Teresa Teng, I think Aunt Xia likes it."

Min Shun dug his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Success, I'll find the best one for you. I'll go to your house to find you next week. If your father comes back next week, you can go to my house to find me."

"Why are you afraid of my dad? He doesn't like you." Zhao Xuejun couldn't help but laugh. His friends, even the older friends of his brothers, saw his dad, and they all behaved well.

"We little people are afraid of being an official. Don't say anything, I will go roller skating with Peng Juan. If you finish your work early, go to the garden roller skating rink to find us, and we will lend you roller skates."

Min Shun bid farewell to Zhao Xuejun, and took Peng Juan to the garden roller skating rink on a bicycle. Peng Juan was silent all the way, and when she was about to reach the garden, Peng Juan asked Min Shun: "Why are you so old that he doesn't care about you?" you."

"You know what a fart. I'm the only one who fawns? You didn't twitter when you saw him that time. You thought I couldn't see it. He's from No. [-] Middle School. You should rest."

"Fart your father's hiccup road (turning) fart! We have been together since the first grade, and we even sat in the same seat. When my mother and father divorced, he was the only one talking to me. I was angry that he didn't talk to me after he went to middle school. Love me. What are you thinking, I'll be his buddy!" After Peng Juan scolded, Min Shun didn't answer, and Peng Juan also remained silent and said nothing more.

Min Shun was hungry for a period of time in elementary school, and his parents were in a bad mood, either because of this illness or that illness.He remembered going to school one morning and seeing the three brothers of the Zhao family eating deep-fried dough sticks and drinking soy milk in front of the grain store.In those days, my father was hospitalized, and my distraught mother threw one dollar to him as ten dollars and left. Minsun spent three days on one dollar, and then began to starve.

That day, he stared blankly, swallowing saliva non-stop.Although he tried his best to maintain his dignity, the child's face probably couldn't hide any expression.

"Brother, that's Min Shun. He helped me carry coal to the teacher's house." Zhao Xuejun looked happy that day, and he introduced him to his brothers.Hearing that Min Shun helped Zhao Xuejun, Zhao Xuewen also invited him to eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk.On this day, Min Shun drank three bowls of soy milk and half a catty of deep-fried dough sticks.He remembered that when he was wiping his mouth, the three brothers of the Zhao family all had strange expressions on his face.In the end, they didn't say anything, and paid the money neatly, and the second brother Zhao asked him if he had enough to eat.

From that day on, for a period of time, Min Shun "met" the Zhao family brothers every day, and they "accidentally" bought too much every time. If they couldn't eat it, it would be a pity to waste it.Anyway, they asked him to help eat it.

Min Shun knew, maybe, they saw something, but never exposed it.Min Soon can never forget that breakfast.For a time, he lived by pointing to this breakfast every day.

Zhao Xuejun walked through the Zhongxin Street, which was being rebuilt, and entered the gate of Wanlin Handicraft Factory.The porter didn't stop him.He has played here since he was a child, and the uncles and aunts here are very close to him. Zhao Xuejun has affection for this place.

Recently, people in this handicraft factory have lost their minds, saying that the factory will be demolished soon.In order to keep up with the pace of the times, the government has introduced a plan to renovate the central street.The leaders of this session of Wanlin City are full of passion to transform a commercial street and promote the economic take-off of Wanlin City.

After the plan came out, the handicraft factory, which was built on the main street and occupied a large area, was about to face the fate of demolition.Zhao Xuejun knew that although the government allocated ten mu of land in the suburbs for the factory, after the factory was demolished, the leaders of this generation left, and the leaders of the next generation could not afford the money to build a new factory.Follow the leadership one session at a time.The domestic economy is also developing rapidly, and the price of goods is getting higher and higher, and the budget for building new factories is also increasing with the price of goods.After repairs and repairs, the handicraft factory was finally abandoned by the times.

The last sum of money that the workers of the handicraft factory received was that the ten mu of land in the suburbs was purchased to build a residential area. the workers.

"Junjun, come here." Gao Juzi stood at the door of the factory warehouse and greeted his son.

Zhao Xuejun ran over with a smile, called his mother, and then said hello to the chief of the supply and marketing department in the factory: "Hello, Uncle Li."

Section Chief Li teased him a few words like teasing a child. After teasing, he took out the key and took the mother and child into the warehouse.

"Old Li, Xiaohao told me that they saw the plan of the new factory, and it is beautiful over there. The main building of the new factory has four floors."

"That's right, we went to see the plan. The new factory area is beautiful. However, it's still early. Our factory still has a lot of contracts with Shanghai and Wuhan. Last time I went to a meeting, the leader of the municipal party committee also said that It must be done according to the contract, and it will definitely not affect the reputation of the factory. I found out that after finishing these batches of boxes, it will be next August anyway. Orange, I have some news for you, our supply and marketing department is going to buy a new car. Wait After receiving the car, you and Xiaohao will take the new car to Shanghai to deliver the goods."

"Really, this is a good thing. Why is it my turn, haha... You still miss me. Next time I go to Shanghai, even if I am exhausted, I have to bring a good dress for my sister-in-law."

"Then... I will thank you for your sister-in-law. The things you brought are good and cheap. Your sister-in-law likes it."

Zhao Xuejun looked at his mother with a smile.My mother has now found a way to buy goods, and the things she gets are cheaper than those bought in stores.Therefore, even if you go to Shanghai and buy the same thing, the price is not as advantageous as the high orange belt.Even so, Gao Juzi still didn't dare to bring more, even though he already had a ten thousand yuan household, Gao Juzi might have already been a million yuan household in private.But the only thing at home is a color TV.Moreover, for this hot-selling product, someone wrote a letter to the province, exposing Dad, saying that he was using power for personal gain, and the origin of the hot-selling product at home is unknown.Fortunately, my mother took the advanced and rewarded tickets from the factory for the TV set, otherwise it would be really unclear.

"Junjun, check if these are the ones." Section Chief Li pointed to a pile of dusty frames and asked Junjun.

Zhao Xuejun walked over, took out a handkerchief and wiped clean the framed glass, looking carefully one by one.This is Wanlin Duijin.Originally named "Pile of Flowers", it is a handcraft painting made of silk, which is unique to Wanlin, and its earliest era can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.Wanlin has this thing because the silk here used to be used by the imperial court.Dui brocade is made of silk brocade, collaged into characters, flowers and birds, and rare animals.It is also known as "three-dimensional Chinese painting" because of its exquisite craftsmanship and relief-like effect, and it has a history of more than a thousand years.Look at these, there are large "Peony Picture", "Twelve Gold Hairpins in the Red Chamber", "Four Seasons Spring" and "Happy Birthday Picture", piles of small ornaments "56 Ethnic Children", "Red Little Soldier" and "Leader's Head".

"I haven't seen them for many years. The old workers in our factory used to have extraordinary craftsmanship. Look, it's been decades, and the color is just like new ones. Let me tell you about the oranges. After hundreds of years, they are still the same color! Hey! This craftsmanship is gone now. The old workers have gone one after another, and the girls now are far behind in their craftsmanship. Look at this red building, it was still in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China... ...and this West Wing... When it was broken down, it was under the warehouse and it was not burned. I remember this frame was carved by my father. Look at the frame they are making now, that is the four sides A paint, what is that... It’s all water milling work, it’s gone, it’s gone.” Section Chief Li has been working in the factory since Jianguo, and no one knows the origin of these things better than him.

"Good, good. But, who buys this now? Several order meetings, none of which can be sold, these are the best samples, look at this peony picture, I remember they (staff) took two months to make Alright. Now, our factory will sell some satin boxes." Gao Juzi sighed a few words.

"Mom, we have all of them, okay?" Zhao Xuejun was reluctant to throw them away, and these things were finally treated as garbage and lost.The raw material for pile brocade is local silk, but the silk weaving factory will go bankrupt in a few years.Even if there is any more brocade, it is not made of Wanlin silk.

Gao Juzi was stunned for a moment, and firmly disagreed: "Junjun, you can play with one of these things, it's not that your mother won't buy them, you're still a student, it's useless for your godfather to teach you all!"

Zhao Xuejun took out a stack of money from his bosom, a thick stack of hundreds of dollars: "Mom, it was my godfather who asked me to buy it. I don't have the money to buy it. I want that pair of big peonies."

Section Chief Li and Gao Juzi were a little frightened. After looking at each other, Gao Juzi became furious: "I said what's the matter with your godfather, telling the child to pretend to have so much money! I have to go back and tell him that if you have money, you can marry a wife and start a family." , can't be so wasteful, what does he mean by giving the money to my son. What if something happens to him? I know he is always rich... This old thing, you don't want to introduce someone to him, you say you Aunt Gaixia is such a nice person, but he just doesn’t want it... Isn’t Gaixia just illiterate? He doesn’t even think about how old he is.”

"Old Chang you are talking about is the Chang Yu of the museum, right?" Section Chief Li asked.

Gao Juzi nodded with resentment on his face.

"If it was him, it would be no wonder. I heard that he spent two hundred to buy a bunch of old furniture that no one else wanted. People use fashionable ones now. My wife said that his family has overseas relations. Speaking of this Overseas relations, in the past, this hat was not small, whoever gets it, who is unlucky. Now, whoever has overseas relations, it will be dead, Junjun, they say that your godfather took off the hat, and the state compensated more than 9. It is true Is it?!" Section Chief Li looked envious.

Gao Juzi became even more angry: "Section Chief Li, you don't know. He does all kinds of useless things every day. Last week, Junjun was implicated by him, and he was almost locked up by the police station."

Digging his ears, Zhao Xuejun squatted on the ground and continued to wipe with a calm face.Last Wednesday, he and his godfather went to the women's toilet in the airport family courtyard at three o'clock in the morning.The godfather gave him a lookout, and he went in to make rubbings.On the other side of the airport, the family courtyard was built as the wall foundation for toilets, and the squatting stone in the hut is the epitaph stele.He remembered that he had just finished halfway, when he heard a shout from the aunt: "Catch the gangster!" Then... he was turned away to the police station.

If you want to say godfather, that's tough, he slapped the table and quarreled with someone.Why did I make a report and no one responded, you are forcing me into the women's restroom.Why do you only know that the anti-gold hero is Yue Fei, and Wanlin also has the anti-gold army.You don't care, what the descendants care about... In the end, they smashed an ashtray.The museum grew up in the morning and was dragged up to the police station to collect people and apologize. In the end, the leaders of the airport were also shocked.Just like that, the godfather still refused to leave, and in the end he stole a hut to squat on a stone. The father and son happily hired a mule cart to take it back, and scrubbed it for three days before washing away the stench.

Gao Juzi looked at Section Chief Li with a troubled face, but Section Chief Li was very happy: "Success, I'll check the cost price. In fact, the factory dealt with it at the last trade fair, and no one wanted it. Orange, don't worry, The leaders in the factory won’t say anything, no one has remembered this thing, we’ll be fine after completing the formalities.”

"Lao Li, you have to keep this matter a secret. If it spreads out, I don't know what to say outside. No matter how bad Lao Chang is, he is also the godfather of our army, and he has to be protected. You know, in those years he It's so messed up." Gao Juzi pointed to his head.

Lao Li looked understanding and sympathetic.He nodded and sighed: "Hey, I know, don't worry."

Gao Juzi felt distressed looking at the stack of money. It's a few hundred yuan, how many things can I buy, although it's not Zhao's money.She didn't know that the money belonged to Zhao Xuejun's private house.You know, don't even want to keep this money, you must find a way to confiscate it.

It took less than 300 yuan to buy a large pile of tricycles.Zhao Xuejun felt that he got a big deal. When he was about to leave the factory, he remembered something and said to Gao Juzi who was still angry after sending him out: "Mom, my brother-in-law is here. I said you went to Wuhan."

Gao Juzi was stunned for a moment, sneered, and nodded calmly, "I know, Junjun, I've been living in the factory for a few days, and next week I'll go to Wuhan with the car, so you can tell your uncle …Whose fruit saplings does your father buy, and he can’t buy relatives’ ones… As soon as your father’s TV business is over, they know to make trouble for me… I point them to pay me back? The sun comes out from the west, They will be happy if I die..."

Zhao Xuejun returned home, wearing a new Dacron shirt bought by Gao Juzi, with a knot on the back of his head, and a simple and honest face, Aunt Gaixia greeted him with a smile, came out to help the tricycle driver, and unloaded the pile of things into the yard.

Aunt Gaixia has been at home for almost a year. When she first came here, Aunt Gaixia was so hardworking that the whole family was embarrassed to step through the door.Ever since she knew that she had someone to depend on, Aunt Gaixia had no other thoughts. She was busy taking care of the house in an orderly manner.For the Zhao family brothers who might provide for themselves in the future, they almost have to confess.

Zhao Xuejun didn't know that the house could be cleaned up like this before.The pot and the side of the stove should be polished black with pigskin.The front and back yards of the house were originally hard soil, but Aunt Gaixia was able to pick up bricks and repair the floor in the shape of a five-pointed star.Aunt Gaixia used bricks to build half of the coal pond in the front yard, and used some cement to grind it smooth.Now there is no need to buy eggs at home. Aunt Gaixia raises twelve old hens and one rooster in the front yard. By the way, there are three pairs of rabbits and one lamb.

In other words, Aunt Gaixia is so diligent, the family should be satisfied with Gaixia, right?That's not necessarily the case, sometimes Zhao Xuejun himself can't stand Aunt Gaixia's way of life.Take cooking as an example. At the beginning, she used oil for cooking, and she used half a chopstick to tie a small cloth on her head. It was sticky with oil, and it was considered a frying pan after passing it around the bottom of the pan.The children couldn't bear this, so they protested seriously.Request a family meeting.At the meeting, Aunt Xia also promised to change it.The next day, when she cooked the frying pan, she still used the little cloth to stick the oil, but this time she stuck it twice, and wiped the bottom of the pan three times vigorously with a distressed face.

Ever since Aunt Gaixia came, the family could no longer eat good apples.A basket of apples, one is rotten and the other is eaten, Aunt Gaixia digs up the rotten ground, and those dug fruits with holes everywhere are served on the table, no matter it is your guests or family members, all are only allowed to eat Rotten dug apples.So, a basket of apples was bought into the house, and the family never ate a whole one.

Zhao Xuejun patted the dust on his hands, and let out a deep sigh from his heart, the helplessness from the depths of his soul came up in an indescribable way.Some people you can rebel against because you can get rid of them without attachment.We are not bound by blood, it doesn't matter.

But there are some people whose brand is the same as yours. In one life or two, no matter how excessive, you can't throw him out of your life unceremoniously.Look at the man squatting at the door.

Gao Guoyuan, who was squatting at the door, smiled bitterly, and wanted to interject from time to time, but found that he couldn't say anything. He was ashamed, but also confident.I feel embarrassed, and feel that the other party should understand. Anyway, he is an uncle, and he just can't help it.In the future, when he has money, he will treat him well and compensate him.He means it.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhao Xuejun walked over and said, "Uncle, sit in the room."

Gao Guoyuan looked up at him with some shame, then lowered his head: "You can't enter, then... did your mother say, the Gao family is not allowed to enter the Zhao family."

"Then I will sit with you." Zhao Xuejun said.

"Oh, good!." Gao Guoyuan shook his head.He looked at the street over there, then turned around and asked Zhao Xuejun: "San'er, your mother, when will you be back?"
