Chapter 192: Zheng Hailong's Past
It wasn't until the pot-bellied middle-aged lecturer on the poop on the poop walked out of the classroom with the lesson plan in his hands that Wang Haoran realized that his distraction was most of the class's time.
There was only one Ma Zhe class in the morning, and there was another professional class in the afternoon, Wang Haoran was going to go directly to the cafeteria to eat something, and then go back to the dormitory, so he asked his roommates if they wanted to go to the cafeteria together.
After all, it was Ma Zhe's first class, and no one dared to skip class in 508, Wang Haoran asked if he wanted to go to the cafeteria, and there were disagreements, some people went and some people didn't.
Xiang Zhuangzhuang was going to go directly to the Internet café, and ordered takeout at the Internet café for lunch, asking if there was anyone together, Zhang Ze has recently become obsessed with online chatting, and I don't know which girl he chats with on the Internet every day, so he said that he went to the Internet café with Xiang Zhuangzhuang.
Gu Xiaoshi didn't go to the Internet, but this baby was a little anorexic, and it belonged to the strange thing of not eating lunch after breakfast, and not eating breakfast after lunch, so he didn't go to the cafeteria, and was going to go back to the dormitory to read and sleep.
As for Li Wenkai, in the past few days, not only has he not eaten with everyone, but sometimes he has no classes and does not stay in the dormitory, Wang Haoran estimates that he should be mixed with Liu Jiamin.
In the end, only Zheng Hailong said that he was a little hungry and wanted to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
The six of them left the classroom and separated, and Wang Haoran and Zheng Hailong walked towards the cafeteria together.
At the beginning of the school year, the phenomenon of six people doing everything together every day has long disappeared, after all, everyone is an independent individual with a distinct personality, even if they live in a dormitory, they can't guarantee to eat and live together every day, this truth Wang Haoran still understands.
Walking on the road, Zheng Hailong was a little big by the first Ma Zhe class, and couldn't help but complain to Wang Haoran: "I always thought that there would be no more boring class than the political class, but today I finally know that I am shallow, grandma's, compared with Ma Zhe's class, the political class is as interesting as the history class." ”
Wang Haoran said: "You really listened carefully? ”
Zheng Hailong asked rhetorically: "Otherwise? Didn't you attend the class? ”
Wang Haoran honestly admitted: "I listened for a few minutes at first, and then I saw several people sleeping on the table, and the teacher didn't see it, so I didn't listen to it, and I deserted the whole time, which was really boring." ”
Zheng Hailong nodded, with an empathetic expression: "Yes, it's so boring!" ”
After the two finished complaining to each other, they walked to the cafeteria, Zheng Hailong was just about to walk to the back of the long line to line up, Wang Haoran grabbed Zheng Hailong, "Let's go, let's go up to the second floor, I invite you to eat a small stir-fry." ”
There are many fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, and there is no need to queue for a long time, Wang Haoran asked for a few small stir-fries, both meat and vegetarian, and bought two bottles of ice Coke, and the two of them found a vacant seat with a plate and sat down.
After just a few bites, Zheng Hailong suddenly said: "If I wasn't really interested in the Internet, I would rather go to an Internet café with them to eat takeout than come to the cafeteria with you to eat, you know why not?" ”
Wang Haoran was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
Zheng Hailong looked at a few mouthfuls of food on the table, sighed, and said, "Because I want to be embarrassed, every time I come to eat on the second floor with you, you are the one who treats you." ”
Then he didn't wait for Wang Haoran to say anything, and said: "It's okay that I'm also the boss of the dormitory, but then I considered the gap between the food on the second floor of the canteen and the takeaway, and I still think it's okay to come to the canteen with you to eat." ”
Wang Haoran shook the meal card placed next to the tray and said, "You see the number on my meal card, the fate between us is more important than this." ”
Seeing the bitter expression on Zheng Hailong's face, Wang Haoran thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm a person, making friends, and I never look at whether the other party has money or not, and I won't be richer than me anyway." ”
This is a sentence that Wang Haoran said later in his memory by the son of the richest man with the same surname, Wang Haoran is certainly not qualified to say this now, so Zheng Hailong took this sentence as Wang Haoran's joke to explain himself, and after laughing for a while, he said in a somewhat sad tone: "Have you ever wondered why I am older than you?" Is it guessing that I have reread it several times? Would you like to hear my story? ”
Wang Haoran nodded, there was obviously a story in his dormitory big brother.
Seeing Wang Haoran nodding, Zheng Hailong smiled, put a chopstick braised pork into his mouth, looked intoxicated, and waited for the braised pork to enter his stomach before he spoke: "I'll tell you the truth, I used to like to eat my mother's braised pork the most, but since five years ago, I haven't eaten it again." ”
Wang Haoran just wanted to say sorry, Zheng Hailong shook his head, "It's not what you think, my mother is still there, but she divorced her husband." ”
Wang Haoran noticed the word "husband", and before Wang Haoran could guess why Zheng Hailong would call his father with such a word, Zheng Hailong continued to talk to himself.
How to put it, Zheng Hailong's story is a little sad, but it is not uncommon.
Wang Haoran always thought that Zheng Hailong and Li Wenkai were both natives of Jinling, and they lived in a community, presumably the family conditions were not bad, to a certain extent, Wang Haoran's judgment was correct, at least before Zheng Hailong's father became addicted to gambling.
Once people are infected with the bad habit of gambling, except for those who have particularly strong self-control and extraordinary willpower, most people will lose their minds and indulge in a ridiculous excitement, especially at the gambling table.
Zheng Hailong gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "You know, not only did he lose the family's savings, but in my sophomore year of high school, several strong people came to my house with a contract to sell a house, and wanted to kick me and my mother out of the house, of course my mother disagreed, and quarreled with a few people, and finally was slapped in the face by one of them, and when I saw someone beating my mother, I rushed up, but was put down by one of them with one hand, and the man could only lower his head and say nothing, the most ironic thing is, The contract for the purchase of the house not only had the man's handprint, but also his written voluntary sale of the house, and if it was hindered, he would be responsible for the consequences. ”
"You know, I had an idea in my mind at that time, I must continue to exercise in the future, and I will never be knocked down by one hand again."
The house is gone, but Zheng Hailong's father still has no remorse, no matter whether Zheng Hailong's mother is crying or begging, Zheng Hailong's father is still addicted to gambling, and he took the last thing in the family that can be sold for money as a gambling book, and later used various excuses to borrow money from relatives and friends to gamble, wanting to win back what he lost from the gambling table.
"Later, the family owed money everywhere, and my mother finally gave up, divorced him, and went back to her parents' house alone, before leaving, her eyes were full of reluctance to look at me."
Speaking of this, Zheng Hailong said in a very sarcastic tone: "Do you dare to believe it, that man said that he would rather starve me to death than let me follow my mother." ”
"However, it was funny later, when I was in my third year of high school, he was forced by the debtor to have no choice but to give custody of me to my mother, but I didn't agree because I didn't have the face to see my mother."
Before the gambler's father ran away, he left Zheng Hailong to be taken care of by his father in the countryside, and the old man was also pitted by his own son, unable to provide for his grandson to go to school, and almost fainted in anger.
Fortunately, Zheng Hailong was already eighteen years old at the time, and he could barely afford to support himself and work as a small worker on the construction site, a job that Li Wenkai asked a friend of his father to help Zheng Hailong find.
"You know, the last time I told Xiao Wu in the dormitory that my muscles were insisted on exercising, in fact, it was not wrong, but the place for exercise was on the construction site."
"You know, those jobs are too hard, I have to do it after crying, who made me have to rely on myself, in the end I was thinking that I could get into a university, and if I could find some easy work after graduation, anyway, I also saved a little money, which should be enough to pay for tuition."
"Later, I quietly found Li Wenkai and asked Li Wenkai to help me go to the school to ask, but the school did not cancel my student status and told me that I could take the college entrance examination."
The later story is that he studied hard and was finally admitted to NTU with his childhood friend who was three years younger than him.
The meal lasted for two people, and Wang Haoran didn't know how to explain Zheng Hailong, and Wang Haoran thought that the current Zheng Hailong didn't need anyone to comfort him, which would make this strong man feel sad, and in the end, Wang Haoran could only pat Zheng Hailong's shoulder.
No matter how tragic the past is, it is a story, and it is not worth complaining about, just like before Wang Haoran was reborn.
