Chapter 63: The Book of Prosperity
After the stampede in 1980, the town's holidays were insulated from all mass activities.
Don't even think about lanterns, floats, or anything.
However, this does not stop young people from enthusiasticing the festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the streets are full of people lounging.
Bai Ke was also dragged by Sun Yuan to take a stroll on the street.
Buy a sugar gourd for a while, buy a small windmill or something.
As the two of them were looking around, someone suddenly shouted behind them: "White Brigade! White Brigade!"
Bai Ke looked back and recognized it as Xia Zhongjiang, that is, the illegitimate son of his father's comrade-in-arms Han Sheng.
I haven't seen him for half a year, and this guy seems to have grown up again, and he looks completely like an adult.
Bai Ke remembered that in order to let Han Sheng meet Xia Zhongjiang, he had fooled Xia Zhongjiang, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"What's that, Xiao Xia, you've been okay lately. ”
"It's ok. ”
Bai Ke talked about it, planning to avoid the sports school, but he didn't expect Xia Zhongjiang to be an upright guy, so he asked directly about the selection of seedlings in the sports school after a few greetings.
"Team Bai, there has been no news about the sports school for so long, is it because they haven't taken a fancy to me. ”
"yes, yes, but ......"
Bai Ke saw that Xia Zhongjiang's sad tears were about to fall, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
It's a bit cruel to make up a nonsense to fool children, make people wait for more than half a year, and then send people away casually.
"That, Jiangzi, don't worry, maybe there are still places in the sports school this year. ”
"Really? ...... you?"
"Well, I'll ask you again. ”
"Thank you, White Brigade! I, I'll treat you to a sugar gourd. ”
"No, we just ate it. ”
"Then I'm ......"
"Alright. Bai Ke smiled and patted Xia Zhongjiang on the shoulder, "Don't be so polite." ”
"Then you have time to go to my house to play. ”
"No problem. ”
But this time, Bai Ke didn't plan to cover up another fool with one trick, so he had to give Xia Zhongjiang a real result, instead of talking nonsense.
It happened that the winter vacation was not over yet, Meng Fanming was still at home, and Bai Ke hurried to visit early the next morning.
Meng Fanming's family lives in an alley on West Street.
The houses here are dilapidated and cramped.
There are also piles of debris and garbage on the roads in the alleys, so you have to walk carefully.
When I arrived at Meng Fanming's house, I had to pass by a stone archway, and when I was far away, I saw a strong man hanging under the archway, moving up and down.
Even if he couldn't see it clearly, Bai Ke could guess that this guy was Meng Fanming at once.
When he got closer, Bai Ke found that there were two rings hanging on the archway, and Meng Fanming was playing and exercising on the rings in a single coat.
Seeing Bai Ke coming, Meng Fanming hurriedly jumped down and greeted him breathlessly: "Bai Brigade! ”
It's early spring, and it's still cold.
But Meng Fanming was wearing single clothes, but he was dripping with sweat.
Bai Ke was afraid that Meng Fanming would catch a cold, so he didn't dare to say hello more, so he hurriedly patted Meng Fanming's shoulder: "Let's go! ”
The courtyard of Meng Fanming's house also has a variety of exercise equipment, including homemade barbells, dumbbells, sandbags and so on.
After Meng Fanming was selected by the sports school, the burden on the family was somewhat reduced, and the living conditions of the whole family were much better than before.
Meng Fanming's family is very enthusiastic about Bai Ke.
In their opinion, Bai Ke is Meng Fanming's great benefactor.
Bai Ke not only reduced the financial burden of the Meng family, but also saved Meng Fanming.
They have always felt that their son is so fierce that he will either take people down or be down in the future.
After entering the sports school, even if Meng Fanming is on the right path, his family no longer has to worry.
Meng Fanming's family was too enthusiastic, and Bai Ke couldn't help but be a little tired of coping.
"Oh, little white guest, I haven't been here for a long time. Come, come, drink some jasmine tea. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you. ”
"This is the sesame cake I made, you can taste it. ”
"Good, good ......"
In the end, Meng Fanming was a little annoyed: "Mom, Dad, it's okay, you guys are busy with your business." ”
Meng Fanming's parents went out just now.
Bai Ke hurriedly asked about Meng Fanming's current situation.
"I've switched to judo now. ”
"yes, yes, it should be the same as wrestling. ”
Meng Fanming has always learned wrestling, and it shouldn't be too difficult to change to judo.
Meng Fanming sighed: "Although it's a bit similar, judo is really hard to learn, I don't know if I can learn it well." ”
Bai Ke comforted him: "Don't worry, it's a little uncomfortable when you first get in touch, and it's good to get familiar with it in the future." ”
"Uh-huh. Meng Fanming nodded.
After chatting a few more words, Bai Ke told Meng Fanming about Xia Zhongjiang's desire to enter the city sports school, hoping that Meng Fanming could help.
Meng Fanming was stunned: "But, but I'm no longer in the city sports school." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ke was taken aback, he didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few months, Meng Fanming had already had a big change.
"And where are you?"
"I'm going to the provincial sports school next month. ”
Bai Ke was extremely disappointed, and it seemed that the promise to Xia Zhongjiang was going to fail.
"I don't know what kind of specialty this classmate you are talking about?"
"He used to live by the sea, and he was very good at the water, and he was said to swim faster than most adults. ”
"Oh, how tall is he?"
"He's tall, a little more fierce than you, younger than me. ”
Meng Fanming's eyes lit up: "It's okay! The provincial sports school has just formed a swimming team, and there is a shortage of people, so they want to be tall and water-based." ”
"Great! Why didn't you say it sooner, it scared me. ”
"Hahahaha. ”
A few days later, when Bai Ke was at home, another old classmate suddenly came to visit.
The visitor was Huang Fujiang, a classmate of Bai Ke at Aimin Primary School.
Over the years, Bai Ke and Huang Fujiang have maintained contact, because Huang Fujiang's father, Huang Chang of Zhongchang Pig Farm, is the first noble person in Bai Ke's life.
Baike helped the yellow farm director expand the business of the pig farm, and helped the yellow farm manager build a cold storage.
Huang Chang has become the second largest business partner of Bai Ke in addition to Lao Kan.
After entering junior high school, Huang Fujiang also came to No. 1 Middle School and was assigned to Class 4.
The two friends are also closer than before.
However, Huang Fujiang may not have come to the door to play with white customers, I am afraid that he is here to deliver a message to his father.
Sure enough, Huang Fujiang said: "My dad asked you to go to the house to play, saying that he had something to discuss with you." ”
It turned out that Huang Changchang was elected as the village chief at the beginning of the year, and he planned to take up the new official three fires and make some achievements to give the leaders who promoted him a long face.
In the county, Zhongchang Village is a star village, and there are nearly 100,000 households in the village.
But compared with Lao Kan's Dongshan Village, it is too far behind, and Village Chief Huang plans to catch up.
"Little Baike, you have already helped Lao Kan and them get rich, now it's time to help us. ”
Village Chief Huang said while pouring Longjing tea for Bai Ke.
Bai Ke sighed: "It's not entirely me who helped, they have been doing construction for many years." ”
"But we've been raising pigs for years. ”
"What do you mean? Are you going to build a pig trust? I can't help you. ”
"Haha, that's not what I meant. Over the years of raising pigs, I have discovered a business that can make you rich collectively. ”
"What's the deal?"
"Dry transport!"
