Chapter 13: The long-lost brother
Wu Xiaozheng originally wanted to follow Liu Haibin to the game hall to have a look, but he thought about it and forgot it.
The game hall in this era is not a good place to stay, some are gangsters, and Liu Haibin can't even touch the side of gangsters.
In the game hall, the most famous gangsters like to bully are children like Liu Haibin, who are not very old and often have a few dollars in their pockets. Wu Xiaozheng believes that as soon as Liu Haibin goes to the game hall, it won't be long before the money in his pocket will fall into the hands of the gangsters.
Those so-called gangsters, that's all they have, fighting, playing games, bullying children, this is all their lives, each hand is also so poor that they can eat, drink, play, all rely on extortion, when they encounter a soft one, they will force the other party to be filial, and when they encounter a hard one, they can kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in minutes.
Wu Xiaozheng understands why Liu Haibin is so eager to find a powerful boss, and it is estimated that he is usually bullied.
But a place like a game hall, for a child of his age, once he gets used to it, it will be addictive and unstoppable, so Liu Haibin still wants to go even after being bullied. At this time, if there is a powerful boss covering, then there is no need to be bullied, not to mention, you can also bully other weaker children, and also get a little money to play games.
Wu Xiaozheng is not interested in this kind of gangster, even in his previous life, the gangster in this kind of place can't get into his eyes.
But now he is also a child who can be bullied in the eyes of others, he doesn't want to go to this troubled water with Wu Xiaozheng, so he didn't hesitate to get on the bus home, as for Liu Haibin's life and death, he didn't bother to care.
There was a little accident when I got home.
Wu Xiaozheng found that his classmate Li Xinjian was already waiting for him at home.
"Zhenghan, today's results are out, how do you go to get the notice?"
Today's results?
Wu Xiaozheng has completely forgotten about this, after all, what he retains now is the memory of his previous life.
Zhenghan is the nickname given to him by his classmates, just as he called Li Xinjian a cheap.
In the entire Chengguan Town, Wu Xiaozheng's junior high school classmates are not many, there are only four or five in total, and he is the one who has the best relationship with him and is relatively close.
He obviously came to help Wu Xiaozheng deliver the report card today.
"You didn't do well in the exam this time? You ranked 18th in the class, and you reached more than 30 in the grade. ”
Li Xinjian said a little regretfully, and then handed the report card to Wu Xiaozheng.
Wu Xiaozheng took it and glanced at it, and sure enough, it was in 18th place.
It's not that he didn't do well in the exam, but because his parents' accident affected his mood and mood, and he didn't have the heart to review at all.
Wu Xiaozheng also knew the reason why Li Xinjian regretted.
If it weren't for the accident, Wu Xiaozheng's grades would generally be in the top five or so in the class, although not the most powerful, but at least he would be in the top.
That's pretty impressive.
You must know that the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School only recruits two classes every year, and 80 people are admitted every year in the entire county, plus some unavoidable related households, and the entire grade is only about 120 people, which is why Liu Shuigen calls him a top student.
According to the normal development of this trend, it is inevitable that Wu Xiaozheng will be admitted to a prestigious university.
It's a pity that in his last life, because of the changes in his family and a series of chain events that happened later, Wu Xiaozheng's grades began to get worse and worse, and finally ......
It can be said that 92 years have become a watershed in Wu Xiaozheng's life.
It's sad to think about.
Wu Xiaozheng picked up the report card again and looked at it, and one by one familiar names came into his eyes again, and occasionally there were a few names that he couldn't remember for a long time, and they also vaguely corresponded to people.
The reason why it is a familiar name is because about 20 years after graduating from junior high school, a classmate initiated a class reunion, and then there were basically several large and small gatherings every year, and Wu Xiaozheng also participated in several times.
Wu Xiaozheng originally didn't like the class reunion very much, but the junior high school class reunion is an exception, because this is the purest few years after people just start to understand, and the feelings between classmates are the purest, without too much reality.
There are not too many comparisons and too many show-offs at the party, but to reminisce about the time of the year together, talking, laughing, drinking, as if returning to the past, the original friendship will be more intense, and the conflicts that have been there can also be laughed at and enmity.
Wu Xiaozheng later participated in the high school class reunion, and even accompanied his wife to participate in the so-called college reunion, that kind of class reunion is a little tasteless, will compare, compare, show off, will pretend to be forced, more philistine and realistic, a little less humane, very boring.
"Haha, cheap, you're still in your 30s, it's so frustrating!"
Wu Xiaozheng found Li Xinjian's name first and teased him first. It's been a long time since I've made fun of being cheap, so let's cool down and find out how I feel.
The reason why his classmates call him Zhenghan is because he was a little two in junior high school, and the so-called Han means a little treasure and a little two.
"My grades are not good, but you, who have dropped so many places at once, are afraid of being scolded by the teacher, so you don't dare to get the report card!" Li Xinjian fought back slightly.
Compared with Wu Xiaozheng, Li Xinjian's personality is a bit simple, he belongs to the tepid kind, he usually doesn't talk much, only when he has a good time with Wu Xiaozheng and a few others, he talks a little more.
"I won't tell you, I'll go home first, and I'll come back to you another day. Li Xinjian stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go home.
"Go back to a ghost, today Lao Tzu got fish and waist flowers and came back, and I will get something delicious for you to eat in a while." Wu Xiaozheng hurriedly retained.
Wu Xiaozheng was a little cautious.
In his previous life, because of some things that happened later, he had some opinions about cheapness, and the relationship between the two became a little estranged. Later, Wu Xiaozheng recalled it and felt that the situation at that time was no wonder that he was cheap, and he shouldn't have treated him like that.
It's a pity that estrangement is estrangement, and Wu Xiaozheng has never had a chance to make up for it in his previous life, so today I want to take the opportunity to enhance my brotherly relationship.
"Really, then I won't leave!" Cheap didn't say anything polite to him, and immediately sat down again.
"Let's go, go work with me!"
Brothers belong to brothers, making money can not be delayed, now Chef Wu's pickled radish to increase the production volume, although many of the early work grandparents have been completed in advance, but the most critical ingredients and pickling work has to be completed by Wu Xiaozheng himself.
The cheap guy walked out, and then quickly asked curiously: "Why are you pickling so many radishes?"
"Sell for money. ”
"This thing can also be sold for money?"
"Just kidding, I can now make one or two hundred dollars a day. Wu Xiaozheng said a little ostentatiously.
There is no need to hide yourself in front of your brothers.
