1893 Similar People Can Always Be Friends
Ten years ago in Pengcheng, the city construction was a busy scene, outside the small fishing village on the edge of Pengcheng, there lived a tall and burly man, not many people knew him, except for those old men and old ladies who had lived here for many years, I am afraid that only Xu Er Liquor Store in Xiaofangzhuang knew that there was such a person.
But I just know that there is such a person, no one seems to know what his name is, and it seems that this big man is not from this village, and the house he lives in is specially purchased for him, and he seems to be a craftsman.
At the beginning of the period, no one paid attention to him, the house was built outside the village in the desert, he neither cultivated the land, nor did he have any business, he was tinkling in the yard all day long, but the life of the people was good, people often came to give money and gifts, and even some people sent him some stones in a whole car.
The big man who lives in this courtyard rarely goes out, and he can't go out once for ten days and half a month, so he goes to Xu Er's wine shop to buy some liquor, and picks out the good ones to drink, and moves them home for more than ten or twenty catties at a time.
At first, no one cared, but then the people in the village gradually began to be curious, which is also said to be strange, a person with no income seems to be never short of money, and he does not know where his money comes from.
Some people are curious, some people are stirring up trouble, and if someone is loaded with a gun, then there must be a cannon.
The two lazy men in the village felt that this was a face-showing thing, and the thing of stealing chickens and dogs was itself a matter of what they were better at.
The two of them took their things and sneaked over the wall into the courtyard, and a few people from the same village were still watching outside, wanting to see what they could find after these two people went in.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the yard, just when a few people were curious, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the yard, and then a lazy man showed a head from the wall, but before he could turn out of the wall, he was hit behind by something, and his body fell straight down, and the people outside were afraid that something was wrong.
One by one, they rushed over with the guy in their hands, and they were going to snatch people out anyway, but no one rushed to the door, and the big black iron door was opened from the inside, and the bald man walked out of it naked, carrying two people who were completely paralyzed in his hands, and threw the two of them on the ground casually, staring at a few villagers who came with fierce eyes.
Fortunately, the old branch secretary heard about what happened here, and hurriedly ran over from a distance with a few people, and when he saw the big man standing in the center with a horizontal knife, the two people under his feet did not know whether they were alive or dead, and immediately cold sweat came down.
After his persuasion, the dispute did not continue.
When the two lazy men woke up, everyone heard the truth from the two of them, this bald man was an ironworker, and he built a stove at home, and he relied on the tools he built to make money.
It was not what they thought, and the old branch secretary also told the truth, the house in the remote area was bought by someone before, on the condition that in their village, the annual purchase of farmed marine fish doubled, but the people who lived here were not allowed to disturb.
In order not to want everyone to be careful, the old branch secretary didn't tell everyone about it, and only he knew who the person who lived here was.
It is precisely because the old branch secretary knows a little bit about Zhang Datou's roots, knows that he has been in prison outside before, and is afraid that the people in the village will have opinions about him, so the old branch secretary has never told anyone about it.
But after this time, Zhang Datou finally settled in Xiaofangzhuang, and the people in the village all relied on fishing for a living, and in the next few years, they began to raise fish at home, and some would raise some livestock at home.
And all the metal objects such as firewood knives in the house, once they are broken, some people will go to Zhang Datou's house to find him to repair it, and after a long time, the people who live in the village can be regarded as having some understanding of Zhang Datou.
Although it's still not very familiar, when you meet, you will nod your head and say hello.
In fact, this is enough for Zhang Datou, he doesn't want much in itself, and he doesn't like to deal with people very much, the only thing he likes is to strike iron, practice boxing and knife practice, live a simple life, and he didn't think about finding a companion for himself, as for money, although he didn't have much, he didn't lack these things.
There are often people outside who want to ask him to build something, and those exquisite handicrafts are made by his hands, and everything is worth a lot of money when they are taken outside.
In this way, Zhang Datou lived in Xiaofangzhuang for a few years, lived a life like a day for a few years, and he could still live a leisurely life.
Someone asks him for help, as long as he has a little time, he can also reach out to help, and a peaceful life is what he wants.
One day, on his way out to take out the garbage, he happened to encounter a car coming from outside, and accidentally drove the car into a mud puddle on the side.
The driver was a young fat man, his face was sweaty at this moment, and he pushed the car hard, as if he was going to push the car out.
On the way to Xiaofangzhuang, it was still a dirt road, as long as it rained, there was no way to walk on the ground, and the vehicle was light in the mud, and it was already good if it didn't roll over.
Zhang Datou, who came back from throwing away the garbage, saw the little fat man pushing the car hard, so he kindly stepped forward to help and reached out to push the car out of the mud pit.
The little fat man really doesn't have this strength, but Zhang Datou has this strength, and for him, this is a piece of cake.
The car was pushed out, and the little fat man thanked him a thousand times, but Zhang Datou was a little uncomfortable, and he hadn't spoken for a long time, but he just nodded, indicating that he heard it, turned around and went back to the house, and ping-pong his own things.
And the little fat man looked at this big man with golden light, and a lot of curiosity arose in his heart, but he was in a hurry to deliver the goods, so he didn't stay in place for a long time, and drove the car to deliver the goods in his hand first.
That day, Ge Gen'er from Xiaofangzhuang got married, and bought some firecrackers from the little fat man's house, and the little fat man made a special trip to deliver them.
After these things were delivered, Ge Gener was also happy, and after settling the accounts, he asked him to stay and drink the wine, the little fat man was a teenager, and he didn't know how to drink, so he said a few auspicious words, and he refused the kindness and planned to leave, who knew that Ge Gener took a bottle of liquor and put it in his car, which was a thank you for his delivery today.
On the way back, the car passed by the door of Zhang Datou's house, and the little fat man didn't know what to think, so he picked up the bottle of liquor and sent it to the door of Zhang Datou's house, and then shouted 'thank you' loudly at the door, and then turned around and left.
In fact, Zhang Datou had already found him when he was passing by, as for his broken car, except for the horn that did not sound, there was no place that did not sound, and the sound of the engine was louder than the sound of the tractor, and it was difficult to find it.
However, the bottle of wine left by the fat man really made Zhang Datou feel a little warm.
When he came out of prison, it was difficult for him to survive in any city, and even his family did not want to see him, so they regarded him as a broom star and even expelled him from the city.
For a long time, no one was willing to say a few more words to him, until today's little fat man, a random move opened the door to his heart.
In the winter of that year, the fat man came here again to deliver goods, Xiaofangzhuang's harvest that year was good, every family bought a lot of firecrackers, the amount of purchase was indeed a lot, and the little fat man ran for a few days in a row.
Every time he passed by his door, he would leave a little something, basically the people in the village gave him, sometimes two steamed buns, sometimes one or two family-raised fish and shrimp, and even a handful of sugar cubes, and the little fat man gave Zhang Datou.
Originally, two people who were not close to each other saw their own shadows from each other's bodies because of an action or look.
They are all the loneliest people in the city, with no family, no friends, the same loneliness.
That year, the little fat man stayed in Pengcheng alone for the New Year, relatives went to other places for the New Year, leaving him alone to watch the house, Chinese New Year's Eve Eve others were eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, living the life of the group members, he was the only one, standing alone outside looking at the fireworks all over the city, his heart was full of loneliness.
Looking into the distance, I couldn't remember where my home was for a while.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the little fat man looked up at the sky and ran to Xiaofangzhuang with tears in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the big man with a beard turned out to be a person, and the door was open and seemed to be waiting for him.
Both of them seemed to be a little bad at words, and when they saw each other, they just looked at each other and smiled, sat in the warm room, and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.
That day, the two drank a lot of wine, and Zhang Datou drank too much.
With a beautiful vision in their hearts, the two of them fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, the little fat man who woke up couldn't even remember why he was here, but the sound of boxing outside with his head wide open gave him a big shock.
Looking at the tiger fist, every punch was full of strength, and he was a little greedy when he saw it.
This year is over quickly, and this is the first time that the little fat man feels that the New Year has a warm feeling, because this year is not spent by him alone, but he has a friend who can talk to him.
It's a pity that this life didn't last long, a year is fifteen days later, and he still has to leave this place that he is extremely attached to.
But this time, the two men have also established a certain friendship, and when they have nothing to do, the two will move around a little.
Especially the little fat man, when he encounters something troublesome, he often talks to Zhang Datou and talks about his heart, and his heart is really much better.
But what is very interesting about these two people is that they have known each other for a few years, and they have not even asked each other's names, so they use nicknames instead of each other, one is called Little Fat and the other is called Big Man.
It seems that the two donkey lips are not in the horse's mouth, but they get along well in the end.
At the end of last year, the police department organized a clean-up operation, which raided all unlicensed black factories and illegal dens in Pengcheng and some surrounding places.
The fireworks workshop where the little fat man works did not hide from it, and even their family bore the brunt of it.
During that time, the little fat man disappeared, and there was no news for a long time, and finally he had a friend, Zhang Datou cherished this relationship very much, for fear that something would happen to him.
In order to inquire about Xiaopang's news, he also found a lot of people outside, and even spent a lot of money.
He also regretted it a little, why didn't he know to ask in the first place, maybe it wouldn't be the ending now.
Fortunately, about half a year has passed, and there is news about Xiaopang.
But this time, Chubby seemed to have changed a little after he came out, and he didn't go to his house to see him, just like forgetting that he was a friend.
