Chapter 09: Birthday Party
So Xu Hui felt very lucky, he met a few friends in the class, not only because of the martial arts novels that went crazy with each other, but more importantly, everyone had common interests and hobbies, several people got together to talk about "Shaolin Temple", discussed Jin Yong and Gu Long, discussed Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun, Masaki Wugong and Liu Shixun, and worshiped Socrates and Zico...... Almost from novels to martial arts, to Go and football.
The more good friends talked, the more lively they became, the more excited they became, the anxious Tang Lin classmate is said to have begun to practice the martial arts method, as soon as he arrived at class, he was like an old monk in the meditation, and the beautiful name was called meditation, which was actually similar to sleeping, and he was greeted by the teacher's chalk head and blackboard eraser every three or five times. After being teased by everyone, he actually warned everyone very seriously and seriously that in another month, he might open the eye of the sky, and if he was cowardly, don't provoke him.
This incident became a joke in the second (third) year of junior high school, because a month later, instead of opening the eye of the sky, Tang Lin dropped a goose egg-sized bag on his forehead during physical education class.
There are jokes, and there are also those who can really get things done under impulse, and one day in the second school year of the second year of junior high school, the first student-initiated literary club in the history of Beiguan Street Middle School was officially established.
In addition to Xu Hui, the initiator also has his good friends Guo Xu, Quan Zhijun and Tang Lin, and of course, several female members with strong worship tendencies joined. It is emphasized here that since Tang Lin dropped a big bag, he no longer practiced internal skills, but instead practiced Shaolin Mighty Vajra Palm, and at the same time became interested in literature.
In short, a group of like-minded young people get together and use their spare time and weekends to make submission boxes, transcribers, distribute leaflets, design mastheads, review and write manuscripts together, and have a lot of fun.
The first mimeographed tabloid newspaper began to go viral on the campus of Beiguan Street, and it was said that the tabloid spread far away to the middle school in the suburbs, and students from other schools immediately began to follow suit, so student literary clubs sprung up one after another.
It is said that at that time, the provincial newspaper also reported this incident in a small column in the supplement, although it was only a small tofu cube of about 100 words, which was enough to make Xu Hui unable to sleep with excitement.
For the big movement made by Xu Hui and others, the Black Bull brothers neither understood nor wanted to understand, in short, everyone felt that this old seven weird, some ideas were really incompatible with everyone, but the brothers who lacked Zhao Ge have gradually become estranged, this is a fact, as the boss, Black Bull feels the need to rectify it.
But this necessary rectification, soon there is no follow-up, Dajun does not come, and all day long with a cloudy face, no one wants to care, except for, going to the toilet, almost out of the classroom; Liangzi is in love, and a little girl in the same class is like glue, in and out of pairs, and I don't care that this girl is a child of a micromotor factory; The Xie brothers are obsessed with football, humming at the proposal of the black bull haha, and finally reply, and I will talk about it when I have time.
The black bull's angry seven tricks were smoking, so he had to find Xu Hui alone and complain. But within a few days, I don't know which of his tendons was wrong, or maybe under the influence of Liangzi, Hei Niu suddenly fell in love with a little girl named Cheng Jing in Xu Hui's class, and asked Xu Hui for help with a shy face.
Xu Hui flatly refused, what is this boss doing badly, he wants to find someone to pimp? Something is a bit thunderous, right? The black bull was furious, and vigorously counted the old seven actions of having no brother and not maintaining unity, and after talking nonsense, Xu Hui's eyes widened, but he didn't understand.
In the end, the black bull used both soft and hard, grinding hard and hard, and finally made Xu Hui lose his temper, and promised to hand over the note and love letter, but he would never introduce it in person, whether it was successful or not, it was all up to the girls to volunteer.
Since then, Hei Niu has been in the second (third) class of junior high school, and if he has nothing to do, he ran to the door of the classroom and looked around, many people thought that he was looking for Xu Hui, but Xu Hui and Cheng Jing knew what this guy's purpose was.
Xu Hui, who was harmed by this incident, didn't dare to talk to Cheng Jing, and always felt sorry for others. But on the way out of school two weeks later, I witnessed the intimate scene of the black bull riding a bicycle to pick up Cheng Jing, Xu Hui's jaw almost fell to the ground at that time, and he couldn't close it for a long time, is this good?
Could it be that this is the early love that the head teacher criticized and wrote? Although early love was already common in the campus at that time, and there was a tendency to spread from high school to junior high school, it was not surprising that Xu Hui was accustomed to seeing it; although there were many examples such as Liangzi in front of him, Xu Hui was still embarrassed, and of course, he really didn't take this kind of family-like early love in his eyes.
But Xu Hui also felt that it seemed that it was good for the two to be together like this, and an ignorance that wanted to get close to and explore the opposite sex made him blush suddenly.
Why there is such a contradictory mentality, Xu Hui himself does not know. In general, the peaceful study life in the second half of the second semester of junior high school is coming to an end, and the time of passion, excitement and freedom will also come to an end.
Of course, for Black Bull, there can be two inflection points, because this guy's results are so bad that they repeat the grade.
During the summer vacation, the former brothers of the cultural compound got together again, and in Xu Hui's memory, this was the most neat time the brothers arrived after the turmoil, because the black bull was going to celebrate his birthday.
Only Zhao Ge was absent, but there were three more girls.
The guy Hei Niu actually paid out of his pocket to invite everyone to dinner in the big restaurant on Jiefang Road, and he couldn't figure out where the boss got the money, but it was rare to get together, and the scene was still very lively.
To Xu Hui's surprise, the brothers have changed in the past six months, not only everyone has cigarettes in their mouths, but also two bottles of liquor on the table, which are regarded as beasts by parents and teachers, and are actually enjoyed and squandered by the brothers without scruples.
What made Xu Hui feel even more out of place was the content of everyone's conversation, not whose daughter-in-law was soaked by someone else, or which girl in a certain class was very smart, or someone in a certain class was crazy, and he couldn't get used to cleaning up a meal. In short, there are many elements of boasting and showing off, but it also makes him feel frivolous and restless by his brothers.
Stunned, Xu Hui still felt that Xue Yongjun's topic was relatively acceptable, and opened a game hall in the city center, in which there was a game called Thunder Dragon that was talked about by him, but this was unanimously despised by others.
Xu Hui couldn't figure out what made him unable to keep up with everyone's thinking and rhythm, so he had to keep his mouth shut firmly and just listen. But this can't escape, many people have the impression that Xu Hui always talks the least at every party, and this time he must make up for it and talk about new things, but that literary club is exempt, too face, too sven.
Everyone coaxed in unison, so that the great writer Xu Hui broke the news about the expression of the black bull at the door of the second (third) year of junior high school*, if he really couldn't say it, then he would perform one on the spot.
This almost made Xu Hui anxious, but under the coercion of the brothers, he had to make an expression that was more ugly than crying, everyone laughed, the black bull was the most stupid laugh, and suddenly there was a strange scream, which was extremely disturbing to the scenery. Those who sat close could see that the boss's thigh was pinched by Cheng Jing.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Hei Niu took the opportunity to formally and ceremoniously introduce his daughter-in-law, Cheng Jing from Class 3, to the brothers. This is actually something that has been clear for a long time, everyone knows that in addition to diverting the attention of the black bull, it is also for a happy time, by the way, he also coaxed Liangzi and asked him to introduce his daughter-in-law.
"Bai Lihua, Class 6, my daughter-in-law. Ryoko was also very sassy, with a look of intoxication and happiness.
Everyone turned their attention to the silent and quiet third little girl, Cheng Jing immediately stood up and generously introduced, a friend from childhood to adulthood (in that era, the noun of girlfriends had not yet appeared), called Zhang Yi, the middle school attached to the Normal University.
Xu Hui noticed that this was a very quiet girl, and after everyone sat down, although she didn't talk much, she kept returning everyone's eyes with a polite smile. Although these eyes were very crude and even explicit, she did not show the slightest displeasure because of this.
Zhang Yi may not be as generous and refreshing as Cheng Jing and Bai Lihua in her manners, but she is sitting there quietly, and she is also very different, and she does not feel neglected at all.
Of course, Xu Hui didn't know that Zhang Yi was coming for him. There are also many students who have set up literary clubs on their own initiative, but the good and the bad are mixed, either they die without illness after a period of time, or the publication of the journal is not on time, and the content is too rigid, and most of the poems published are disease-free* and no one reads them.
However, the Wilderness Literature Club on Beiguan Street is different, the publication is fixed, once every two weeks, and the layout is vivid, and the content published is also very close to the preferences of current students, in addition to short and concise essays, there is also irony and humor, and the most amazing is a micro-novel of no more than 500 words.
Zhang Yi is very curious and admires the founder of the Yuanye Literature Club, and it just so happens that Xu Hui is Cheng Jing's classmate, so as soon as Cheng Jing is instigated, she wants to take this opportunity to see the real person, otherwise how could a little girl's family follow her friends to a stranger's birthday party.
In the commotion of everyone, Bai Lihua and Cheng Jing were not shy and stage frightened, and they toasted everyone one by one with the small wine glass in hand. This made Xu Hui dumbfounded immediately, he had never been exposed to liquor, and it was hard for him to believe that the two little girls, one sip and one glass, did not change their faces.
Although the wine glass is not big, only one or two dollars, it is enough to drink it in a circle, and when Xu Hui smacked his tongue, Cheng Jing was already standing in front of him with a smile on his wine glass.
Xu Hui's face turned pale, although he tried his best to shirk it, but the people did not give up, seeing that the black bull was about to start pouring, he had to grit his teeth, close his eyes, and pour the whole glass of liquor into his throat.
Hei Niu laughed happily, patted Xu Hui's shoulder, and said repeatedly, "Good brother, good brother, Xiao Qi is not bad." The reason why he was so happy was that he was very surprised that Xu Hui could give him face, he originally thought that he might not be able to succeed in the forced irrigation, but it was too embarrassing to make trouble, but it hurt and angry.
