The autumn breeze was cold, and the three of them were a little drunk, so Tong Tong opened the conversation and talked about the unsatisfactory over the years. He did make good friends with like-minded people in college, but he was also cheated on badly.

His cheeks were flushed, he held a wine bottle, and said indignantly: "When I sold the copyright, people gave me 500,000 yuan, I have never seen such a large sum of money in my life, ordinary office workers may not be able to save so much money if they have to work for four or five years, but I earned it before I graduated from graduate school." I was so happy that I was dying, but I didn't expect that those two bastard seniors got a lot more than me, and I was almost fooled by them to get into graduate school, and I did the most work, and in the end I got the least...... Don't talk about it, if you continue to talk about it, you're going to scold your mother again. ”

The three of them toasted silently and tacitly, Tong Tong lowered his head and said, "As for you, do you know what I want about you?"

Chen Zeping kept rubbing his thighs and grinning, like the second fool at the entrance of the village: "Won't you be haunted by the scene in the Internet café?"

Tong Tong shook his head and said, "It's the first grade of primary school to go on a spring outing to the Gangcheng Botanical Garden. ”

It's been so long since they don't even remember. The autumn wind woke the other two people up a bit, and they quietly listened to Tong Tong.

"I hadn't gotten my pocket money for a long time, and my grandmother gave me two dollars that day to buy some snacks in the park. There was a long queue in front of the kiosk, as if elementary school students were just here for snacks, and I wanted to eat ice cream so much that I wanted to buy a popsicle for five cents......"

Speaking of this, the two of them also remembered in a trance, Tong Tong was talking about the scene of their first meeting. At that time, a group of elementary school students surrounded the commissary, shouting to eat this and eat that, and the boss was overwhelmed and asked them to line up, and the students stood in line with each other. When it was Tong Tong's turn, the boss asked, "What do you want?"

"I said, I want an old Peking popsicle. ”

"Five cents a piece. ”

"I've already given you money. ”

Tong Tong said very sincerely, but the shopkeeper didn't believe it, busyness made him anxious, and anxiety made him angry, he said impatiently: "Impossible, if you give money, I must have the impression that it is impossible to swallow your few cents." ”

Tong Tong was also anxious, he stomped his feet and said, "I just gave it, you were going to get me a popsicle, but as soon as the people behind shouted, you let us line up...... I'm in line, why don't you give me popsicles?"

The queue was very long, and the primary school students were also frowning, and the boss couldn't get off the stage, so he stiffened his neck and said arrogantly: "You definitely didn't give it, I've been doing business for so many years, how can I bully you, a primary school student?"

Tong Tong was so anxious that tears were about to flow out: "If you give it, you give it! A five-cent piece is split in the middle and glued with transparent glue." ”

"It's just five cents", how can this kid remember it so clearly?

The boss was afraid that he also remembered the tattered money, but in front of so many children, he couldn't get off the stage, so he rudely pushed Tong Tong aside and said, "If you mess around like this again, be careful that I tell you teacher." ”

At that time, Tong Tong was still a well-behaved little boy, he was pushed in public, reprimanded, ashamed and angry, and immediately cried. He cried very aggrievedly, and the tourists around him looked sideways, but no one stood up to help him.

The vast majority of people are like this, looking at him with a gaze full of sympathy, however, their movements are limited to "looking". Why would they stand up for this kid they didn't know? Who wants to get into trouble?

Those children too, and even a few girls turned their heads to each other, looked at Tong Tong vigilantly, and then walked away backwards, not forgetting to roll their eyes at him.

The weather was fine that day, and the park was bustling with people, but Tong Tong felt extremely lonely, and he was the only one in the whole world.

The boss pushed him out, and he was so aggrieved that he wanted to explode and cry darkly. At this moment, two children appeared, one of them was tall and thin, and he mustered up the courage to say, "He gave the money, I saw it." ”

The chubby one also chimed in: "I also saw that after you received the money, you raised your hands high, as if you were afraid that others would steal it." ”

The boss suddenly became embarrassed, but he still said strongly: "You guys are in a gang!

The thin and tall man shook his head: "My family has a store at the gate of No. 2 Middle School, and I can't eat ice cream until I vomit, so it's not rare for you to eat ice cream." ”

Little Fat Dun also hurriedly followed: "My family runs a restaurant, and there is no shortage of ice cream, and I am not rare!"

Tong Tong's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at the two people curiously. They should also be primary school students of the same level as him, and they are not good-looking, but they are right.

The boss estimated that his heart was weak, so he opened the freezer roughly, took out an old popsicle, and threw it at the tall and thin man: "Count me down on you, take it and share it!"

"Why pity us? Besides, I don't know him, this is his ice cream, so we don't want to share it. ”

Every time the thin and tall man finished speaking, Xiao Chubby Dun immediately followed and said: "That's it, this is the ice cream he deserves, he can eat it himself." ”

The boss's face became ugly, and he pushed them out again: "I don't care if you recognize each other or not, and I don't care if you share it or not, let's go, don't delay my business." ”

The thin and tall man was still unconvinced, emphasizing the five cents he had paid, but Tong Tong pulled him and said, "Forget it, adults won't apologize for doing something wrong anyway." ”

The tall and thin man sighed, he didn't get a "sorry" for Tong Tong, looking very frustrated. But Tong Tong is very grateful, even after nearly 20 years, he still remembers that little thing.

Coming back to his senses from the memories, the little chubby dun back then was still chubby, and the tall thin man had also become fat and big. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tall and thin man who used to be said, "Don't look at me, we are now as fat as twins." ”

The three of them laughed.

Chen Zeping was a little proud: "Don't look at me as mediocre now, I think I will also act chivalrous and righteous back then!"

Tong Tong smiled: "That's not it! Who came back then, seeing Gao Yu angry Lin Chong to death, he was so angry that he smashed the TV, and he was scolded by his mother for a long time!"

Chen Zeping pretended to be upright and arched his hand: "It's the Sprinkle family!"

Sun Chengcai chirped: "Cut, it was because of your influence that I watched so many martial arts TV series." My mom used to say that if it weren't for you, my grades wouldn't have been like this. ”

Chen Zeping said proudly: "But Auntie didn't let you break off my friendship with me! It seems that the Sprinkle family is still attractive!"

Tong Tong narrowed his eyes, a little drunk: "That little thing in the first grade, for you, you may think it's funny, or you just came forward on a whim." But for me, it's a rare light in life. The park was crowded with people that day, but in the back of indifference, I only remember the two of you...... Really, there are many people in this world who can stand up for strangers, and it is estimated that they are not even 10%! It is precisely because of this that your kindness is even more valuable, and it makes me feel that there is still true love in the world......

"Stop, stop, stop sublimation!" Chen Zeping interrupted him loudly: "Don't speak too noble of me, if you say me too well, what saves your soul and brings you hope or something, then I can't be a salted fish with peace of mind." ”

The remaining two laughed, the three of them touched the wine glass again, and Sun Chengcai said: "Really, don't fix those false things, there is no need to talk so much between good brothers." ”

"I feel numb too, but I do want to tell you both that the trust I built when I was a child, especially when I was at my most helpless, really affected me for the rest of my life. The image of the two of you standing up has always been imprinted in my mind, how could I be alienated from you? Not to mention that you two have helped me a lot in the future, and I will always be grateful to you for the incident when I was a child. It's just that I've experienced too much in the past few years, and I don't like to talk as much as I used to, so it's really not that I'm alienated from you. ”

A silence flowed between the three of them, Chen Zeping was indeed drunk, and howled coldly: "Friends go together for a lifetime, and there will be no more ...... in those days"

Tong Tong interrupted him: "It's the other way around, aren't I going back to Hong Kong City?

Sun Chengcai laughed: "Stupid! stupid!"

"Hmm......" Chen Zeping smiled embarrassedly: "When I was discharged from the army, I was used to singing this song all day long." ”

Tong Tong's favorite song is Xu Wei's "Once You", a teenager who once dreamed of going to the end of the world, going around and around, and finally returned to the original starting point. Before going to university, he was very ambitious, and if he wanted to reach Zhang Yongming's height, he must be stronger than Zhang Yaoyao. But seven years have passed, and he thinks that he has lived very hard and can be regarded as the best among his peers, but his total net worth is still only six figures, and he wants to step on Zhang Yaoyao, I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey.

But Tong Tong also wanted to open it: "When I arrived in a big city, I found that there are still many capable people." Zhang Yaoyao can also be in the port city, there are people outside the sky, if you go to a big place, you can be beaten down in a day. Now that I'm a Buddha, he loves it, and it's enough for me to live my own life. ”

Chen Zeping said: "At that time, there was Renren.com, I saw him in the 'same city', and the address he filled in at that time was Australia, so he should have gone to study abroad! I wish someone would beat him. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, drank until the early hours of the morning, and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Tong Tong was the first to wake up, his shop had not yet been renovated, he was in a hurry to go to school, and it was too late to eat breakfast. Sun Chengcai asked him to wait for a few minutes, he went home to get something, and he would be back immediately.

Tong Tong waited anxiously, and after a while, Sun Chengcai returned. He took a large box from the battery car and said, "The one for you has been kept for you for more than seven years." ”

When I opened the box, there was a neatly stacked set of Shakespeare's complete works.

Tong Tong suddenly remembered that he was injured by Zhang Yaoyao and his gang that year, lying on the hospital bed, and Mr. Meng told him the story of "Romeo and Juliet". His competitive spirit was stimulated, and he wanted to finish reading Shakespeare to impress Mr. Meng. So he told Sun Chengcai that he wanted a complete set of Shakespeare's complete works for his birthday that year.

His birthday in his household registration book is June 2, just before the college entrance examination. That year, everyone was very nervous about the college entrance examination, and Tong Tong didn't have the heart to celebrate his birthday, so he naturally forgot to ask Sun Chengcai.

But Sun Chengcai actually remembered that he bought this set of books for him and kept it for seven years.

Sun Chengcai said truthfully: "This set of books was bought after Mr. Meng passed away. I'm really guilty for both of you......"

"Okay!" Tong Tong wanted to cry, but pretended to interrupt him easily: "I like the gift very much, I'm not polite to you!"
