The gate of the compound in the early morning is quite spectacular, in addition to the adults who push bicycles to work, there are also a group of children carrying yellow-green canvas schoolbags pouring out of the iron gate of the compound, three in a pile, five in a group, talking and laughing, jumping, enough to fill the small alleys outside the courtyard.

At that time, the vast majority of dolls were enrolled nearby, and the concept of school districts was still very vague, even if there were a few so-called key schools or experimental schools, they were not as crowded as they are now.

Of course, high school is a different story.

Most of the teenagers in the cultural compound between the ages of twelve and thirteen to fifteen are studying at the nearby Beiguan Street Middle School, which is less than a 10-minute walk away, which is very convenient. Only a few of them are related to the Experimental Middle School Affiliated to the Normal University a little further away.

Among the children, Zhao Ge is always very different, the canvas schoolbag is not diagonally straddled like others, but hung on his chest, walking and swinging, his hands are diagonally inserted in his trouser pockets, and he doesn't know where he learned the style, his eyes wander around, and he looks careless.

He was followed by a group of partners such as Hei Niu, Da Jun, the Xie family brothers, and Tie Dan, and everyone didn't dare to joke too much with Zhao Ge today, because it was said that the boss was in a bad mood.

Less than five meters in front of him, a white little fat man was walking briskly, with a white shirt, blue pants, and an extremely clean green canvas schoolbag across his waist, and his little arms flicked back and forth.

"The little fat man of the Xu family. Zhao Ge's eyes were confused, and then he saw Lao Xu, who was called a brother by his father next to him, and couldn't help but spit on the ground fiercely.

The little fat man of the Xu family in Zhao Ge's eyes is naturally Xu Hui, who transferred to another school and is also in the first grade of Beiguan Street Middle School.

More than an hour later, Lao Xu let out a long breath, he took the household registration book and a lot of relevant receipts, and then told his son to study seriously, and left the school in a hurry.

And Xu Hui finally sat timidly in a seat in the classroom of the first (third) class of junior high school.

But he didn't expect Xu Hui to get into trouble on the first day of class, saying that he beat his classmates and sent them to the hospital. Lao Xu, who got the news, couldn't believe it, and rushed into the school with a two-eight bar, and bumped into Lao Zhao, who was pale, and the two of them knew that it was their sons who were in trouble.

From a distance, they heard the noise in the grade office, it seemed that the parents of the beaten children were begging for an explanation, the two shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and knocked on the door to enter the house.

It took a lot of effort for the two to figure out what was going on. The cause is indeed Xu Hui, probably because his foreign accent is too strong, the local doll sounds very fresh and thinks it is funny, and Xu Hui himself is also honest, so the old students bully the new classmates, and the matter is very simple.

But the accident happened after the recess exercise, and the two good fart children in the class probably didn't feel enjoyable, and blocked Xu Hui in a corner of the playground to tease, asking him to say a local curse in dialect, and slapped him if he didn't say it, and happened to be bumped into by Zhao Ge and his group who rushed to trouble Xu Hui.

At this time, the contradictions within the people rose to class contradictions, Zhao Ge was extremely protective, how could the brothers in the compound allow outsiders to bully, even if they haven't spoken yet, they are brothers.

So Zhao Ge fought at the two fart boys, and the iron egg and black bull behind him also rushed up, how could the two fart boys parry, and they were instantly knocked to the ground.

It is said that the dolls can't get a heavy hand in the fight, but Zhao Ge is different, the two of them were beaten with blood all over their faces, and one of them had the bridge of his nose broken, so he still didn't give up, if it wasn't for a physical education teacher who came in time, something really would have happened.

In the face of the parents who blew up the pot, Lao Xu and Lao Zhao repeatedly apologized in a low voice, but fortunately, there was no major problem with the two children who were beaten, and the teacher's mediation barely suppressed the situation. After paying for the medical expenses and nutrition expenses, the two old brothers didn't have time to deal with the monkey cubs who caused trouble, so they discussed in the afternoon and went to the grocery store to buy a bunch of gifts and visit them in person, which finally calmed down the incident.

The school considered the child's future growth from the perspective of the child's future growth, and did not punish Zhao Ge, but if there was a word first, if something similar happened, he would be directly persuaded to quit.

Xu Hui was very aggrieved, the bully became a victim, and after being bullied, he had to be lowered, what kind of logic is this? However, a few words from the dolls made his heart warm a lot.

"The little fat man of the Xu family, my name is Zhao Ge. The other party's eyes no longer seemed so cold.

"If you are bullied at school, you will fight back, but if you can't beat us, find us. Don't embarrass our compound. The black bull patted Xu Hui's shoulder, looking awesome.

"Some fools are cheap, don't get used to it. Xie Hailin said.

“……”

The enthusiasm of the partners made Xu Hui have a sense of identity with the term compound for the first time.

After returning home, Zhao Ge was beaten violently, Lao Xu and his neighbor Han Touer rushed into the courtyard together and hugged the angry Lao Zhao, and pulled him to his house to drink, saying that he couldn't let Zhao Ge be beaten again, if there was really a light and heavy one in his hand, it would be too late to regret it.

Speaking of beatings, Zhao Ge is not the only one in the compound, but he is the most tragic.

The angry old Zhao would hang the doll on his apricot tree, strip off his shirt and beat him violently, and the tools were also very crude, either belts or wooden sticks, that ruthlessness, everyone who saw it was afraid.

At that time, the parent's education method was relatively simple, and many people pursued filial piety under the stick, especially parents with a hot temperament.

Now the dolls are expensive, and it is hard to imagine that era.

No one expected that with the growth of the dolls in the compound, Lao Zhao's punishment method continued until Zhao Ge was eighteen years old, and then Lao Zhao really couldn't move.

Since then, Zhao Ge's team has grown, and there are more shy new members, and a group of dolls are always mixed together when they go to and from school, which is also very lively.

The pimple in his heart when he first met was thrown out of the clouds by Xu Hui, and he quickly integrated into this group of people, and his timid and cowardly personality has changed a lot, at least he is no longer bothered by dialects, and he can be unrestrained among his partners.

Zhao Ge's prestige is very high, there are endless ghost ideas in his head, and he is very righteous, but whenever the brothers have something, they dare to take action. Under his influence, the dolls in the cultural compound are extremely grouped, so in Beiguan Street, a junior high school where the children of the courtyard are the main source of students, they are also a very powerful existence, and almost no one dares to provoke them.

Speaking of the big yard, in fact, it refers to the dolls in the family homes of the workers, this term is also a general term, which belongs to the characteristics of the seventies and eighties of the last century, and is not at all the same concept as the pronoun of the "second generation of officials".

In addition to the cultural compound, there are also several large family areas with more than 300 households, such as the micro-motor factory, the Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, the Xinhua Bookstore, the Wujiaohua Company, and the Coal Construction Company.

The residents of these family homes came from all over the world, mainly because of the political considerations of 'digging deep holes and accumulating food' at that time. Many large factories and mines have moved from the interior to the west, and Xiping is just a microcosm of them.

For example, the main employees of the micromotor factory are from Northeast China, while most of the employees of the coal construction company are from Shanxi, and two-thirds of the employees of Wujiaohua are from Shanghai.

The cultural compound is more complicated, in addition to locals, there are also workers from Shaanxi, Henan, and Hebei. But in any case, living in a family courtyard naturally forms a small group, and the atmosphere of getting along with people is also a family of its own, after all, they are in the same unit and live in the same walled circle.

Affected by this atmosphere, the dolls' sense of belonging and small collective consciousness is stronger, and they are all in a gang after school, don't listen to accents, and can be distinguished from words and deeds alone.

The stout ones who hooked their shoulders were either the children of the coal construction company or the workers of the micro-motor factory; most of the dolls who walked quietly on the road and spoke quietly and never publicized were the dolls of the city's Wujiaohua employees; and the ones who shouted and shouted and chased and frolicked along the way were definitely the cultural compounds.

This kind of dolls affected by the small collective consciousness will inevitably unconsciously produce some small frictions and small contradictions, but after all, it is a doll, and the past is over. Under the strict control of teachers and parents, big disputes and conflicts have not been able to make any waves, in short, they have been peaceful.

But Xu Hui remembers that in the first half of the school year, an unexpected conflict between compounds, and a series of subsequent events caused by it, inadvertently changed the fate of many people.

It was a hot afternoon, and the school day at Beiguan Street Middle School was out, and as usual, the narrow Tongwen Street was crowded with students. Due to the nearby school, the vast majority of students walk home, and a few people ride bicycles far away, and they are also pushing and walking in the small streets and alleys.

Zhao Ge and his gang, who were chasing and frolicking, seemed to be particularly excited, because next week's exam was about to go on vacation, and a group of people jumped around among the crowded students, happily and proudly.

The black bull's forehead suddenly hit Da Jun's popping beans, and he shook his hand and smashed back a schoolbag, like a loach, Da Jun had already disappeared, but this schoolbag smashed firmly on the back of the head of a big fat man in front.

Because it was a joke, Hei Niu didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't even apologize, and was ready to chase Dajun in the heartless laughter and scolding of a group of people.

But the fat man quit and grabbed the black cow, "Grass your milk, why are you beating me?"

The fat man was smashed in a hurry, and he didn't have a brain, and his mouth was swearing. When the black bull was scolded, he immediately reacted, shook off the other party's fat hand, pointed at the fat man's nose and shouted, "What did you scold just now?

Among Zhao Ge's group, Hei Niu is also the master of trouble, he is one year older than everyone and is in the second year of junior high school. Usually in school, he is the only one who scolds, how can anyone dare to scold him? Zhao Ge is notoriously ruthless, and Hei Niu is one of the best.

Just when the black bull fired the cannon, Zhao Ge and his gang stopped fighting, and Hula surrounded him all of a sudden, although Xu Hui didn't want to cause trouble, but for the sake of righteousness, he also stood behind with courage.

The fat man and his companions finally saw this group of people clearly, who didn't know Zhao Ge in the cultural compound?

But young people are easy to be impulsive, and the anger comes quickly, you are awesome in the cultural compound, and we are not vegetarians in the micro-motor factory, and we have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, isn't this about a holiday? Want to find trouble? The fat man slapped the fingers of the black bull, "What are you drafting, is it reasonable to beat people? Lao Tzu scolded you, what are you doing?"

How can the black bull stand this, Teng was anxious, at home, his brother treated him like this, he dared to go up and slap his fist, not to mention the two hundred and five in your outer yard. Hu's punch smashed on the bridge of the fat man's fat nose, and the guy screamed, covering his face and squatting on the ground.

"Grass mud horse!" Of course, a few big and three thick guys around the fat man didn't do it, and almost at the same time they punched and kicked at the black bull. Zhao Ge and the others on the side were afraid that you wouldn't do it, and when the opportunity came, they all rushed to each other screaming, and a scuffle broke out.

The process of the dolls' fight is really lackluster, nothing more than punching and kicking, holding their heads and pinching their necks. But Zhao Ge's gang was fierce, dared to play black hands, and even kicked their feet into the crotch of their pants, so they put all their opponents on the ground in a short period of time and won a complete victory.

Zhao Ge adhered to the consistent style, either he didn't fight, or he would fight to the death, and he was seen kicking and kicking the opponent on the ground alone, which frightened the other children of the micromotor factory who were about to move.

If it weren't for an old man with spiked shoes on the street shouting loudly, Zhao Ge would really be endless, after all, he was a young man, and he was frightened by the old man's shouting for the police, and fled in a hurry with everyone.
