Chapter 396: Gone

readx;?ā€œ Oh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Coco Tang looked a little disappointed, but the thought of seeing Yang Bin's home soon, the place where he grew up, began to look forward to it again.

"The jujube tree you will see later should be considered a new jujube tree. There was originally a jujube tree in our yard that had lived for decades or nearly a hundred years, and it was planted there before the foundation was distributed to our family. The whole tree is nearly 20 meters high, the trunk is as thick as a person hugging each other, the branches are luxuriant, and at least a few hundred catties of dates are produced every year, but unfortunately I was killed by lightning when I was four years old. Yang Bin shook his head and remembered a past incident.

"And such a thing?" Coco Tang looked at Yang Bin in surprise, these things sounded quite novel to her.

"Yes, when the jujube tree was still there, when it was ripe, my dad often stayed on the jujube tree and couldn't read, and when he was thirsty and hungry, he would pick dates to eat. The dates produced by the jujube tree are so big, crisp and sweet, that the later dates are not as delicious as the dates it bears. Yang Bin looked very sorry.

At that time, it was not the Zhao family that lived next door, but the Tian family, and Yang Bin still vaguely remembered that when Yang Lan was just able to climb and the countryside was already able to leave, he stayed under the jujube tree in the yard and waited for the date to fall from the sky.

"Uh...... I'm so envious......" Coco Tang had a yearning look on his face.

"The thunder that time was also quite evil, if it wasn't for Xiaolan, I guess I would have died under that thunder." Yang Bin seemed to recall something again.

What happened when he was four years old, the memory is very vague, but some things Yang Bin does remember clearly, and he himself doesn't know what happened.

"Huh? So thrilling? Let's listen to it...... "Coco Tang is already completely immersed in Yang Bin's story.

"It was raining heavily that day, and my parents were at the school and asked me to take care of Xiaolan, who was just over a year old. But I was very active at that time, and I was very excited after the rain, so I left Xiaolan to run to the yard to play in the water alone. At that time, I was standing under the jujube tree before the lightning strike, and Xiaolan, who had just learned to walk, somehow ran out of the house, smiling and calling out to her brother......"

Then, she tripped over something, or she couldn't stand on her feet, and she fell to the ground on her head, and then she burst into tears. I was afraid that my parents would scold me, so I hurriedly ran over to help her up, and at this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, deafening, and of course Xiaolan's eyes and I were dazzled by the huge light......"

"By the time we could see things again, the thick trunk of the jujube tree had been split in half by a thunderbolt from the center! There was even a fire on the trunk, but it was quickly extinguished by the torrential rain. A pit was blown out of the ground where I was standing just now, and the huge thick roots of the jujube tree were blown out...... At that time, it was as if the world was over. ā€

"If it weren't for Xiaolan running out at that time, and falling to the ground crying and calling for her brother, I guess I would have been blown up directly with the jujube tree......" Yang Bin still has palpitations every time he recalls that thrilling scene.

Not everyone has the opportunity to witness the ancient tree being split by lightning up close, but Yang Bin really encountered it, and the kind of shock at that time was not that he couldn't imagine how terrifying it was if he was not at the scene.

"It seems that you have been blessed with a great fortune since you were a child." Coco Tang sighed again, and then became even more envious in his heart...... How can Yang Bin's life be so rich and exciting? Compared to his wonderful, her life is like that of a pauper.

"Haha, when you come to my house, you can still see the roots of the ancient jujube tree, and we have several benches with it...... Well, it's just a round pier......" Yang Bin laughed.

"Great! How far do you have to go? "Coco Tang can't wait.

"It's just a turn ahead." Yang Bin pointed to the front and talked to Tang Wen.

"Have you arrived?" Tang Wen couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran over first, and then stood around the corner, looking over there a little strangely.

Yang Bin and Gu Zhan also followed, and as soon as they walked around the corner, Yang Bin was stunned on the spot......

The courtyard in my memory is gone, only a pile of ruins remains, and the jujube tree that is only two years younger than Xiaolan in my memory has fallen to the ground. On the ground where the courtyard used to be, there were several piles of masonry and stones, as well as a few piles of river sand and cement.

The same building materials such as bricks and stones, river water, etc., were also stacked next to the courtyard of the Zhao family, and there was a sound of drinking and shouting in the courtyard of the Zhao family. Yang Bin pushed open the courtyard door and walked in to look inside, and saw that the three brothers of the Zhao family were drinking with some people in the courtyard.

"Yo? Is Xiaobin back? Zhao Fengguang, the boss of the Zhao family, who was sitting in front of the courtyard gate, looked over and greeted Yang Bin with drunken eyes.

Zhao Fengguang's two younger brothers, Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wuguang, also turned around together, and the two of them also looked drunk.

Since the early 80s of the last century, because of the continuous drought, the population loss has been very serious, and it has lasted until the mid-90s, during which time the population is decreasing every year, so no one cares about family planning. At that time, most of the people who stayed in Donkey Head Town were overborn, and the old Zhao family opposite was a big superchild, and they gave birth to three sons and two daughters.

After Yang Bin's family gave birth to a son and a daughter, the family planning policy in Donkey Head Town also began to tighten, and Yang's father and Yang's mother didn't want to have so many children, so there were only two Yang Bin and Yang Lan.

Relatively speaking, there are very few people who can have brothers and sisters in this era, Yang Bin and Yang Lan are happy, but compared to Ding Xingwang, the Zhao family, it is a big deal.

The Zhao family has three brothers, Zhao Fengguang is seven or eight years older than Yang Bin, although he was not a neighbor before, but because he is the child of the staff of Donkey Town Middle School, he has many opportunities to be together. Because Yang Bin is young, he has only one son in the family, so he can only be bullied in front of the three brothers of the Zhao family. This continued until Yang Bin's body grew strong in the third year of junior high school.

It can be said that Yang Bin has been training his body hard since he was a child, fighting and gambling with others, and most of the reasons are caused by the three brothers, because he doesn't want to be bullied by them all the time.

In the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, Yang Bin, who was about to turn sixteen, overturned the two brothers Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wuguang in the school playground, and later the two brothers called Zhao Fengguang again, but they were overturned by Yang Bin.

After the parents of both sides knew about the incident, they sat together and severely criticized the four of them, and the Yang family also paid more than 1,000 yuan for medical expenses to settle the matter.

It's just that after that, the three brothers of the Zhao family no longer dared to provoke Yang Bin, and Yang Bin's title of second goods and outlaw was originally shouted out by these three brothers.

For some reason, after the Tianyuan family sold the homestead to the Zhao family, the Zhao and Yang families became neighbors, although the neighborhood relationship between the Yang and Zhao families seemed to be good during that time, but Yang Bin always thought that it was the result of Yang's father and Yang's mother who had been tolerating. For example, the passage between the two families was originally shared, but the Zhao family built a large chicken coop at the end of the passage, one end was against the courtyard wall of the Yang family, and the other end was almost at the gate of the Yang family's courtyard.

This chicken coop could have been built in their own yard, but deliberately built in the public area, the wall of the Yang family's courtyard is low, every summer when the wind is down, the smell of chicken manure wafts in, the Yang family does not close the door and window, the family can hardly sit on people.

Even if you close the door and window, the house stinks, but people's sense of smell is adaptable, and they can't smell it after a long time.

Of course, this is just one of the things, and the other things are more about Yang's father and Yang's mother dealing with the Zhao family, and after Yang Bin left home in high school, he didn't know much. But Yang Bin really doesn't have a good impression of the Zhao family. Not only for these three brothers, but also for Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, who gave birth to such a large number of men and women, he has never had a good impression of him.

Zhao's mother's surname is Bai, and she was Yang Bin's homeroom teacher when she was in junior high school, and Yang's father and Yang's mother probably put Yang Bin in her class because they were neighbors and taught in the same middle school. But until Yang Bin graduated from junior high school in the third year, he never even joined the Communist Youth League, and he was the only two students in the class who did not join the Communist Youth League.

By the way, in addition to Yang Bin, another student who did not join the group had cerebral palsy and was only able to take care of himself, and his grades were a mess.

Yang Bin felt that the surnamed Bai deliberately targeted him, but Yang's father and Yang mother didn't think so, and felt that it must be caused by Yang Bin's lack of discipline and something like that. Anyway, Yang Bin joined the Communist Youth League in the first year after going to Yunsha County High School, so the matter was not resolved later.

It wasn't until he was in college that Yang Bin learned from a junior high school classmate who had some kinship with the Zhao family that the reason why Teacher Bai didn't let him join the Communist Youth League was not because he didn't perform well, but simply because the Yang family didn't go to his house to give gifts like other students during the New Year's Festival!

Of course, there were more students who didn't give New Year's gifts, but Teacher Bai hated Yang Bin, feeling that Yang's father and Yang's mother had no etiquette and didn't know the rules or anything, and said it in front of the classmate and the classmate's parents inadvertently, which inadvertently reached Yang Bin's ears.

Yang's father and Yang's mother have taught for more than ten years, and they have never received gifts from any students, but they have helped many students, and they don't feel that they are teaching in the same middle school, and they also have the habit of giving gifts to colleagues for their children, so they ignore this. Unexpectedly, he was hated by this teacher Bai, and when more than 50 students in the class joined the group, Yang Bin and a child with cerebral palsy were not allowed to join the group.

Yang Bin has never mentioned this to his family.

The main reason is that the past is over, and there is no need to be so careless with a middle-aged woman with an ugly heart.
