"Bo'er, get up! It's 7:40! ”

"Grandpa's dog tail grass?"

"Tail grass?"

"Grass?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Last night, I told you to go to bed early and go to bed early, you didn't go to bed until ten o'clock, and now it's okay, I sleep like a dead pig, why am you late? Other teachers have attendance, and if you are late for more than a month, the teacher will criticize the parents! You are over 70 years old, because you are criticized and embarrassed! Late twice last week, late on Monday, and late again today! What virtue you have! ”

Early on Thursday morning, the old horse couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and it was useless to slap his ass, pinch his feet, and slap his face, so anxious that the old horse was angry. There was no way, the old horse slapped his thigh, stretched out his hands, carried Yangyang to the bathroom, put it straight on the sink, and washed her face directly. Now it was good, lit a small cannon battle, screamed, kicked and beat people.

"What are you doing? And beat people! Try it again? "The old horse was really angry.

Seeing that his grandfather's face and tone were wrong, Yangyang didn't dare to fight, grabbed each other with both hands, pouted with his small mouth, and was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.

"Stop! Don't cry! I'm going to cry and go to school to cry. After the old horse finished speaking, he took Yangyang away, didn't have time to change his pajamas, and accidentally put on his school uniform directly after sleeping, his hair didn't have time to comb, and he didn't have time to wear socks.

"Uh-huh, I'm going to bring that!" Yang Yang pointed to the Santa hat and the Mickey doll and refused to go out.

"Which one?"

"Mickey!"

"No! The teacher doesn't let you bring toys, do you want to be criticized by the teacher in the class? ”

Yang Yang didn't answer, just pouted, squatted on the ground and played tricks.

"It's almost late, can't you go? Wasn't that thing enough after a night of playing last night? ”

"Is it okay for me to wear a hat?" Dogtail Grass whispered pitifully.

The old horse sighed, strode over, grabbed his Santa hat and hurried out. Along the way, the old man pulled the villain, the old man leaned forward, the villain fell backwards, and he didn't dare to delay on the road for a moment, and pulled to the door of the kindergarten in one breath, so he carried a schoolbag, trimmed his hair, and wore a hat. After the old horse lifted Yangyang into the kindergarten gate, the kindergarten's first electric bell rang today.

This morning called to get up and called for nearly half an hour, at this moment finally got rid of the catastrophe, the old horse's heart was unobstructed, and when he entered the village to eat, he arrived at the door of the breakfast shop, and suddenly touched his pocket, did not bring a mobile phone, it was broken, and he couldn't eat breakfast. Helpless, the old horse went home.

Along the way, it's incredible, I don't know what day it started, the old village chief was also the same as the people in the city - he started to pay with his mobile phone without his wallet. In the past, when I had something to do in the village, I used to use my mobile phone and put it aside when I had nothing to do, and I often went to work in the fields so as not to be disturbed, so Lao Ma deliberately did not bring a mobile phone. Well, now it's only been half a year since I arrived in the city, and I can't do without my mobile phone everywhere, I use my mobile phone to sweep breakfast and buy snacks, I use my mobile phone to sweep downstairs to pick up the express, I use my mobile phone to sweep when I go out to take the bus, I use my mobile phone to scan when I meet a homeless man, and I occasionally forget to bring the key when Gui Ying's smart door lock is also scanned with a mobile phone.

The white and clean sky, the vast sea, the trees with intertwined roots, the moon as round as a golden plate, and the glittering water...... There are two giant redfish larger than whales, and they are slowly swimming in the sea. Suddenly, the smaller one jumped into the air, jumped dozens of meters above the sea, flipped over, and then plopped headfirst into the sea. This leap, a drill, splashed the waves several feet high. Odd! The little boy standing on the beach reached out to touch it, and it was clear that the waves were pressing his head and the sea water was falling, but he was safe and dry.

The little boy continued along the beach, and there was no one on the beach, and he walked into the buildings behind the beach, where there were few people. After a long time, a hunched and slightly limping old man walked across from him, and the man walked past him, as if he couldn't see him. The boy stretched out his hand to greet the man, but the old man could not see or hear, and the boy was suspicious. I don't know how long I walked forward, passing by a dense forest, a trail, a park, and a flower...... There was no one in front of or behind on the endless road, and finally I met an aunt on a park bench, and the thirsty boy wanted to ask the aunt for water. When he approached, he waved at his aunt, spoke, and clapped his hands, but the aunt with a hollow face and a sad expression couldn't hear him at all, and her eyes stared straight at the sky without blinking. The world seems to be enchanted, and the little boy doesn't know if he has become a transparent person, a dead ghost, or is in another isolated world.

Passing by a school, countless children were chasing each other on the playground, and the boy threw stones at the playground for verification, but the stones disappeared as soon as they were shot. He jumped and waved his hands, shouted hoarsely, stomped his feet angrily, and kicked the railing so violently that the children inside the railing could neither hear nor see. The lost child sits in the corner, alone sad and frightened. The starry dome, the golden dazzling glow, the purple-red meteor cloud, and the reflection of oneself in the clouds...... Before he knew it, the boy was asleep.

When he woke up at dusk, thirsty and hungry, he got up and walked again, and suddenly found two fish playing in the air in front of him—a red fish bigger than a dinosaur, and a goldfish flying like a phoenix, and the two fish hovering above the boy's head, staring at him from time to time. The black eyes seemed to be laughing, the boy stretched out his hand to touch the fish, but found that there was a transparent, invisible thing wrapped around his head, he reached out in a panic to touch, beat, and pull around, and finally understood that he was covered by a transparent eggshell, where was he and where was the invisible eggshell; He can see outside, but he can't see himself outside; He could hear the voices outside, but the people outside could not hear his call......

He was quarantined.

Holding his head and crying for an unknown amount of time, the boy who was tired of tears seemed to remember that he was looking for someone very important, but he did not know where the person he wanted to see was. The boy wandered aimlessly sadly, helplessly, and frightened, and a long period of loneliness enveloped him, until at last the little boy fell under a large tree, crying silently. As he wiped away his tears, someone suddenly grabbed his hand, and the boy trembled and opened his eyes to see that it was his mother.

"Baby, up! Went to the hospital! Bao Xiaoxing sat on the edge of his son's bed, grabbed his son's hand, and called softly.

Xuecheng Ma pulled out his hand, looked at his mother with lingering eyes, and looked at it for a few minutes before he realized that Fang Fang was a dream. Zhong Xuecheng remembered the two small fish that his grandfather bought for him, looked up at the biscuit box on the desk, sat up, and saw the two small fish swimming alive in the water, he stared at the fish in a daze.

"Get up, get dressed." Hyosung retrieved a tracksuit from his closet and threw it on the bed.

"Mom is going to fry eggs, we'll see if your ears are good after breakfast, obedient and obedient, let's go early and come back early!"

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Hyosung took his son to Peking University Hospital, met with the previous female doctor, and then wrote bills, paid bills, took films, and waited for reports. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor looked at the film taken this time, compared the previous two times, and found that the eardrum of the right ear healed itself obviously, and finally told him to come back for a follow-up visit in a month. Hyosung then went back with his son. In seven or eight days, the mother and son went to the hospital five times in a row, and they were really tired.

Early Thursday morning, as soon as Ma Guiying arrived at the company, she saw a few words in the office. It turned out to be because of a news released in the official media last night, the CEOs of two giants in the field of security technology were arrested for bribery - Li Jianmin, chairman of Hengcheng Technology, and Zhang Qunying, president of Shenzhen Nuctech, were taken away yesterday afternoon, and the stock prices of the two listed companies fell as soon as they opened this morning, of which the share price of Hengcheng Technology fell by seven percent, and there was a commotion in the industry.

Yesterday a meeting was held for layoffs, and the mood of the employees was a little calmer, and today there is this incident again, sigh. Hengcheng and Shenzhen Nuctech are big customers of Nanan Group, Lao Qian and Li Jianmin, Li Zong, Zhang Qunying, and Zhang Zong often eat together or attend activities, and many colleagues within Nanan Group deal with the managers and directors of their two companies all year round. Terrified.

Ma Guiying kept flipping through the web page, pulling WeChat groups, and switching forums, and under the official news, there were countless insiders, rumors, speculations, and associations. She watched it for two hours in one breath in the morning, and suddenly found herself in a huge spider's web. According to the reliable news of the industry's experts, Zhang Wencheng's accident involved 27 listed companies, and all large companies in the field of security monitoring on the A-share market are almost wailing today. Speaking of Hengcheng Technology alone, nine of its companies have been investigated, and dozens of upstream and downstream suppliers have begun to act for self-protection and payment collection; Outside Gui Ying's office, a few salesmen who bought Hengcheng shares were so angry that they fell tens of thousands of dollars overnight, how could they not rush to tell each other.

Zhang Wenchengluo·· Ma is not limited to security, and prosecutors are reportedly going to prosecute Zhao Zhong, chairman of Jinhui Technology, a leading company in the field of intelligent transportation. Almost every few minutes, a shocking or shocking analysis article pops up on the Internet from all kinds of small media and small websites--the stock price trend of such and such a company, whether such and such a company is suspected of bribery, such and such a person is suspected of embezzlement of public funds, the phenomenon of falling from power in the security field because of such and such and such a person, such and such a person may be placed on file for investigation for crimes committed in the course of his duties, and it is rumored that such and such a person jumped to his death...... Horrifying.

Although it has nothing to do with herself, Ma Guiying, who has experienced this kind of scene for the first time in her life, is really uneasy. Almost all of the rumored companies are customers of Nanan Group. If Lao Qian is always involved, I am afraid that Nan'an will be in danger. Nan'an is shaky, and he will be reduced to duckweed in the workplace. Worried, everyone in the office is always sweating for the old money. But where is the old money at this time? Everyone hadn't seen the company's leaders for more than 20 days. This point undoubtedly casts a layer of black haze on the thick cloud of suspicion.

"I originally had a self-study session tonight, and I changed with Teacher Zhang, who teaches geography, Zhang Qingzhu Teacher Zhang, do you remember?"

"Why don't you remember?"

"He has something at home this year, and he often changes classes, saying that his mother is not in good health and goes to the hospital twice in three days."

"Teacher Zhang is the same age as me."

"Oh? That's right. Ah...... Recently, the end of the semester is approaching, and I have to repeat the knowledge points over and over again, which is really enough, and I have been repeating for more than ten years, and I always want to tell students something different and new, and in the end it is always exactly the same. There was a time when I always fantasized about teaching at a university, and I thought it was much more free to teach at a university, but then I had a casual chat with a few university teachers, and it was the same. Last year's song is sung this year, and next year's song is sung the year after, hum! ”

"How many people can't sing if they want to, can't sing, you can sing it's boring!"

"Don't mind! You're always like this, how can we talk about it? There will be work, what is the urgency? What to mourn? ”

"I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not lost, I just see that you are like me before, I don't know how turbulent the job opportunities outside are, and how stable the position is!"

"I'm just worried...... My wife and I combined, and you don't make as much money as your wife doing business alone. Now that my child is in college, how high is the consumption in Beijing, and you don't engage in socializing in such a good school? I gave Hanhan (Deng Renhui's son's nickname) 2,000 yuan for living expenses in January, how can it be enough to spend! Now the key is that there are still four old people in their seventies and eighties to support, both of us are over fifty, how much do you think you can earn by working for a few years? My father-in-law always said that he was uncomfortable here and uncomfortable there, and the cost of a light examination in the hospital was one or two thousand! What older person is not sick? My mother had severe diabetes two days ago, and she went back to the hospital and prescribed more than 1,000 medicines, which was only enough for two months. My dad didn't say anything about his illness, for fear of causing trouble, and he didn't say anything about bone hyperplasia on his knees! If it weren't for the fact that he almost fell down that day, I thought he was in the best health at home! When he entered the hospital, he realized that his bone hyperplasia was already very serious, and he spent tens of thousands of yuan for a minor operation in one go. All the wages we earned from school were swallowed up by the hospital, but fortunately we didn't have a mortgage, otherwise we really couldn't live! The money saved in the first ten years is not enough for the next five years; Tell me about the money that the older generation has saved for a lifetime, and it is enough to spend a few days today? Deng Renhui spat and complained to He Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan didn't answer, he was glad that he was not so stressed on pension, and even more fortunate that his father-in-law was over seventy years old and in good health, not only did not cause them trouble, but helped them solve the trouble.

"We teachers live in an ivory tower, but you don't buy clothes, furniture, or medical treatment in an ivory tower. Thanks to the fact that I have been cautious and have saved a little bit of money in consideration of the pressure of retirement over the years, otherwise I would have left school to earn money outside. Now, I pray every day that my parents and my parents-in-law are in good health and that they don't get seriously ill! ”

After a period of silence, Deng Renhui suddenly changed his tone and said with a smile: "Eh Zhiyuan, I have a few groups here, do you want to add one?" What kind of group, this is the student I taught, and after graduation, I also chose to become a teacher, and then we formed a small group, at the beginning there were only a few dozen people, and I taught them experience. Later, more and more people were added, so much so that I didn't know it at all, and there were many normal students who had just graduated from the group to ask for help, and there were many who had already gained a firm foothold in the school, which was more chaotic, more than 1,000 people, buckle the group, did you add? Deng Renhui showed He Zhiyuan a large group of people as the leader of the group.

"Plus! Why didn't you say it earlier? Zhiyuan took out his mobile phone to scan the code and join the group.

"It's messy, I'm afraid you think most of it is a group of children who are not happy."

"I'm like this, what's there to be happy or unhappy." Zhiyuan laughed and mocked himself.

"From time to time, there will be some job information released by schools, uneven, vocational schools, universities, private schools are more wide, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu are everywhere, there are specific computer teachers, biochemistry teachers, kindergarten teachers There is no limit, the news I provided to you before was seen from this group."

"Oh! That's great. ”

"This group has been in charge for more than ten years, and I was in charge at the beginning, and now I am in charge of a few children." After Deng Renhui finished speaking, he clicked to agree, and Zhiyuan joined this teacher exchange group called "Teaching without Class".

The two old friends chatted for most of the day, and at ten o'clock in the evening, they were full of wine and contentment, and the two went out of the store together and waved goodbye. On the road, He Zhiyuan sighed deeply, regretting that he had been very closed all these years, and his closed personality had made him never come out of the ivory tower and ideal country for more than 40 years, so that he had such a predicament today.

At half past eight in the evening, it was time for bedtime stories. Yang Yang pestered his grandfather, after listening to a story and another story, the treasure head that Lao Ma had sealed for 70 years was opened, what demons and monsters, fairy warlocks, witchcraft prophecies, strange anecdotes, legendary heroes, bizarre dreams, loyalty, filial piety, martyrdom, life and death, animal mythology...... It was like a burst of water, and the floodgates could not be opened. The big and small stories in the belly originated from the old Ma Tai's grandparents, grandparents, parents, private school teachers, villagers and other generations accumulated in the past, and now they are all poured into Yangyang's head like a bucket of water. It is also a kind of inheritance, and Yangyang's age is the age of curiosity and memorization.

"Master will tell you a yellow finch to repay the favor. In ancient times, there was a man named Yang Bao, one day he walked to Huayin County, and saw a finch bitten by an owl, falling under a tree, surrounded by a group of ants, and the ants wanted to wait for the finch to die so that they could eat it.

"Why do ants eat finches?"

"The ants are hungry! It eats meat, and when the finch falls to the ground and is about to die, it is targeted by ants. ”

"What is a finch?"

"A kind of bird! There are all kinds of birds, and one of them is called a finch. ”

"Okay then."

Then, Yang Bao passed by and saw that the finch was pitiful, so he took the finch back and put it in a cardboard box to heal it and feed it. After a few months, the finch was cured of its illness and its wings became stiff, and it flew out every morning and back at night. One day in the middle of the night, Yang Bao played with his mobile phone like your brother until three o'clock in the middle of the night and did not sleep, and then a little boy in yellow came over and bowed to Yang Bao three times. ”

"What is a little boy?"

"A little doll is a little boy."

"Oh!"

"This boy said to Yang Bao, I am the little angel next to the Queen Mother of the West, I was accidentally injured by an owl, you are kind-hearted and saved me, thank you so much. After finishing speaking, the little boy gave four white jade rings to Yang Bao, saying that you are a great good person, and you will be a great minister in the future, and this jade ring can ensure your success. Then the boy turned into a finch and flew away, never to return. At this time, Yang Bao knew that the boy was a bird, and the bird was a little boy.

"What is the White Jade Ring?"

"It's baby! Like gold, silver, and renminbi, it's a big treasure. ”

"What is RMB?"

was frequently interrupted, the old horse was annoyed, scratched his scalp and wrinkled his face and complained: "Tsk, it's really boring for you to ask, RMB is money, money to buy yo-yo candy!" ”

"Okay then." Yang Yang secretly glared at his grandfather and pouted.

The old horse groaned and asked, "Do you still listen?" There is also a story about ants returning the favor, do you listen to it? ”

"Listen!"

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a person named Dong Zhaozhi, he crossed the Qiantang River one year, and saw an ant lying on a wooden stick, the wooden stick floated on the river, and the ant climbed from one end to another, from that end to this end, and Dong Zhaoyi saw that he rescued the ant. The boat crossed the shore, and the ants also crossed the Qiantang River and were saved. At night, Dong Zhaozhi dreamed of a man in black, and the man in black said to Dong Zhaozhi, I am the ant king - the head of the ant is the ant king, do you know? The ant king said thank you for saving me, and if you are in trouble in the future, you tell me that I will come to save you too. ”

After many years, Dong Zhaozhi was wrongfully accused of being a villain and was arrested by the police and locked up in prison one year, and then he remembered that the ant king gave him a dream. Now he is in trouble, but how can he tell the Ant King? Dong Zhaozhi was worried and didn't know what to do. After listening to his story, the people in the prison said that there were no bugs in the prison? Cockroaches, crickets, ants, rats...... The cellmate said that you catch an ant and tell the ant about you, and the little ant will tell their king, the ant king. Dong Zhaoyi heard that it made sense, and did so. Sure enough, at night, the man in black came, he was the ant king, and the man in black rescued Dong Zhaozhi from prison in order to repay his kindness. One favor and one reciprocation, it's all. That's it! Does this sound good? ”

"Nice! Grandpa, I still have to listen to stories! ”

"Oh, I've talked about it several times, and you've hollowed out your brain...... How? It's nine o'clock. ”

The grandfather and grandson fought each other, and the old horse softened.

"Grandpa taught you to endorse, okay?"

"Okay."

"Master Ling, you read a sentence. The three talents, the heavens, the earth and the people. ”

"Three talents, heaven and earth."

"The Three Lights, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars."

"The Three Lights, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars."

"The Three Guidelines, the Monarch and the Minister."

"East, West, North, South, Central."

"East, West, North, South, Central."

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith."

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith."

"Rice, soybean, millet, wheat, millet."

"Rice, soybean, millet, wheat, millet."

"Three talents, heaven and earth."

"Three...... Just...... ......"

"The Three Lights, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars."

"Hikari, uh-"

"The Three Guidelines, the Monarch and the Minister."

"Hmm-"

Uh-huh, Yangyang fell asleep. The old horse poked his head and pinched his earlobe, but he didn't move.

"It's really not a reading material, I listen to the story so hard, and when I endorse it, I immediately fall down, hum!"

The old horse muttered to himself, chuckled a few times, covered the dog's tail grass with a quilt, tidied up the house slightly, turned off the lights and went out, satisfied.

On Friday, Bao Xiaoxing went to the University of Hong Kong Hospital again. This time, she brought a thick examination report and two medical records, and after seeing the psychiatrist, she directly handed over all the previous two examination reports to the doctor, and roughly talked about the process of the child's illness and medical treatment during this time. The doctor carefully flipped through the report and read it for about ten minutes.

"Do you have any questions? The two diagnoses are the same, and there is no discrepancy! The female doctor with a nice voice asked, leaning on her glasses.

"Well, I'd like to make sure."

"My diagnosis is the same as theirs. I see that you have already done a lot of tests, and there is really no need to do any more, and the second doctor's diagnosis is very detailed, is there any problem? The diagnosis is the same, and the next step is symptomatic treatment...... Sizzle...... Do you have any concerns? ”

Bao Xiaoxing lowered his head and couldn't answer for a while.

Seeing how strange it was, the doctor saw his eyebrows and said softly: "Is your problem and hesitation in the treatment plan?" If you don't know how to treat it, don't rush it. Mental and psychological illness is not dizziness and stomach pain, and it is necessary to take medicine immediately to relieve the pain. If parents are still unsure about the whole treatment process, I suggest that you take your child out for a walk, change the environment, let the child relax. If parents are flustered in the face of this situation, then the child must also be flustered and afraid. If this kind of problem occurs in children, if it is not the fault of the school, the root knot is in the parents. ”

The doctor looked at the report for a long time, and saw that the family had no problem and did not speak, so he spoke earnestly: "Obviously, his condition is not innate, you have to investigate what triggered the child's autism." If the cause is not investigated, the treatment at the hospital will not cure the root cause. ”

Hyosung listened very carefully, so serious that he let go of all his insistence, paranoia, or self-belief about his son's condition.

After a while, the doctor gently comforted him: "I suggest that at this time, you can build an outlet for your child to release his natural instincts - playing games, drawing, learning musical instruments, having pets, etc." If the child's original communication portal is closed, then the parent can try to open a new window. If you can't get out of the original social network, change the environment, meet new people, new children, and start making friends again. ”

Seeing the parents pondering, the doctor continued: "He is reluctant to speak, parents should not force him. Now find a way to get his attention and divert his attention to something happy, light-hearted, and fun. Pay more attention to him, take care of him, talk to him, go for a walk, fly a kite, and make him feel completely safe and completely at ease. Parents can try it first, if there is no effect after the effort, and the condition is serious, then it is necessary to carry out drug intervention. Generally speaking, the bell must also be tied to the bell, and parents should also reflect and reflect. ”

The doctor patiently talked for a long time, but Hyosung remained colorless, and only when the doctor finally had nothing to say did she express her gratitude. The doctor could see that the parents were upset, sorted out the report and handed it to the parents, and did not even prescribe medicine. Sometimes patients or family members are clearer and more sober than doctors, they just need advice, advice, or clarity.

Out of the consultation room, Bao Xiaoxing let out a long sigh, and was diagnosed with autism for the third time, which was expected. With a broken marriage, a closed store, and a big mountain in front of him, Hyosung pulled the child to hold the information, and walked with tears on his chest. She was so tired and numb that she couldn't cry anymore, and the tears flowed and flowed weakly, and they naturally broke off. When I got out of the hospital, the sun was shining outside, and I couldn't open my eyes. She pulled her docile son to sit beside her, wrapped her arms around the child's waist, and then held him in her arms, and another wave of tears hit her.

White clouds walk slowly in the sky, coconut trees sway slightly in the wind, cars come and go quietly, and pedestrians pass in twos and threes...... The bright sky illuminated by the warm sun tried to heal the mother and son, the purple dogtail grass in the flower bed shook its ears to try to please the mother and son, and the jubilant birds flew around in the shade of the hazy trees, as if performing a pantomime for a large and a small audience.

After crying, my mood was a little smoother. One doesn't go to work, the other doesn't go to school, and it's a pity not to appreciate such a beautiful situation. Hyosung searched on his mobile phone and found a bay park two kilometers away, and without saying a word, he pulled his son up to see the sea. After sweeping a bicycle, she took her son to the beach, and after parking the car, the mother and son walked hand in hand on the sidewalk by the sea.

There are few pedestrians at noon on weekdays, the front and back ten miles are empty and silent, the south wind on the left and right sides is unimpeded, look up at the sky unhindered, the sea water is cheerful and sparkling, and the sea breeze sends a few pairs of egrets. The bay shores are covered with lush greenery, with lush trees casting light and shadow, distant buildings disappearing into mirages, and nearby meadows are half golden and half verdant in the warm sun. After walking a few hundred meters, Bao Xiaoxing picked a clean and warm big stone by the sea and lay down. The beach is the bed, the stubborn stone is the pillow, the blue sky is the account, and the golden crow is the lamp; The waves play, the sea breeze dances, and the chorus of ten thousand trees is all prepared for her.

In a luxury hotel, there is a large table of six people, all with greasy faces and bold postures, and then look closely at a group of elderly half-hundred uncles.

"We haven't gotten together for more than ten years! If it weren't for Ma Xingbang this time, how many of your uncles could I find? What a big face I have! "Bald Thunder poured wine for everyone with a cigarette in his mouth.

"What are you talking about, as if you invited us and we didn't come, the question is have you invited us? Which time is it not Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang who pay? What are you shouting at when you get home! A few of us who know the roots, say that the scene is false! Ray, you yourself say it's not false! Li Guoyuan, who has been selling tail goods pottery all year round, debunked the bald thunder on the spot.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, why don't you talk about some scenes?"

"Don't bar, don't bar! The host Hakka didn't speak, what are you two doing? The fine ghost Wang Mi, who opened an optical store, criticized the two.

"Come on, let's pay tribute to Xingbang and welcome him back to his hometown!" Zhao Qiong, who is 1.9 meters tall and has a round waist, raised her wine glass and faced Ma Xingbang.

Xingbang was embarrassed, shook his head and smiled, and everyone touched a cup and drank it.

"Xingbang, do you really stay in Shaanxi this time or do you want to see first, if it's not good here, you will go back to the south again?" Zhang Xiongxin, who has a big belly and makes furniture cabinets, asked Ma Xingbang.

"Also...... Not sure, let's see. I want to stay, but I don't know if I can keep it. Xingbang shook his head again.

"Is it that hard to stay in your hometown? What are you doing running around every day! "Bald Ray complained about Ma Xingbang.

"You may not know outside, Xi'an's development in recent years has been very good, I heard that Xi'an will become a special zone in the future! There are a lot of opportunities, we are the Northwest Fortress, and our status is very important. Zhao Qiong, who opened a restaurant, poked the table and said.

"Xi'an is developing well, how can there be a lot of opportunities? It's just that you opened a restaurant successfully, and a mouth is so slippery! I'm selling pottery every day, and I can't make a few bucks! You have successfully crossed the river, how light you speak! In the past few years, I have been running in the southeast and northwest, and to be honest, business is still good in developed areas! My tail goods pottery sells significantly better in Shanghai and Shenzhen than in Xi'an. ”

"Then why don't you go to Shanghai and Shenzhen?" Bald Ray asked.

"What are these words? Can you leave your wife and children behind and go out to mingle? You've never been out of the wine seller, look at how hard you talk! "Li Guoyuan, who lacks front teeth, squeezes bald thunder.

"You still have wives and children hot kang heads, look at me, I'm almost fifty years old and still single!" Zhao Qiong, who had a big waist and a round waist, smiled bitterly.

"You? Zhao Qiong, are you looking for a draw? Your ex-wife and ex-girlfriend add up to no less than ten, how many women from good families have been harmed, and you are embarrassed to say! Li Guoyuan pointed at Zhao Qiong and scolded.

A few people laughed and played, drank a few rounds of wine, and the big-bellied Zhang Xiongxin suddenly complained: "Recently, I met a customer, and I made a few cabinets to die or live, and I didn't measure the size accurately, and I didn't do the cabinets carefully, oh I * fuck, the business has been so fucking difficult to do in the past two years!" In the past few years, we have ignored the people in the store, but now! It's upside down, let's become a grandson! Especially those of us who make custom cabinets, we are about to be squeezed to death by those big brands. ”

"I'm half-dead selling liquor! Originally, after the New Year, I relied on the Spring Festival to go to relatives to give big gifts for the New Year, and it was easy to earn 100,000 yuan in one go. It's almost impossible to turn around now! Bald Thunder clapped his palms and complained.

"What about you, Wang Mi?" After Ma Xingbang finished speaking, he handed Wang Mi a cigarette.

"I'm okay, get along! There used to be an optical shop in Jinfo Hutong, and the business has been good, but then there was infrastructure construction, and the façade was blocked, and the business was not good. At the beginning of this year, I set up another store in the North District, which originally sold underwear, and the shelf counter was ninety percent new, and I directly changed the underwear store into an optical store, and now the two stores are open at the same time, barely OK! It's just that I'm tired of running around, I can't take care of a suitable person, and we can't afford to take care of or keep a capable person! My wife and I are the only ones who take care of the two shops, and my mother-in-law also acts as a waitress on weekends when there are many people! ”

After Wang Mi finished speaking, everyone chuckled.

"Let's talk about the six of us, who came out of a school and a class more than thirty years ago, how come none of them are decent!" After Zhang Xiongxin finished speaking, he shook the cigarette ash.

"Just because you don't look good doesn't mean others don't look good! Zhao Qiong's mutton steamed bun has opened three stores, is this called mixing up? People's shops are on the main road, is this called decent? Li Guoyuan glared at Zhang Xiongxin.

"No! Business is average, I want to close the store in Nantou! I can't afford to lose, and now I'm planning for the New Year, in case business is good! If the business is still not good after the year, I have to rent a prosperous shop! It's true that feng shui has been bad in recent years, isn't it? Zhao Qiong raised his eyes and asked everyone, and everyone nodded without saying anything.

"Xingbang, tell me about you! You are worshiped by everyone, and you are rumored to be divine, talk about your factory, everyone is interested. Zhao Qiong asked Ma Xingbang.

"Hey...... If you don't believe it, I've had bad luck in the past few years and almost lost everything! The development of the south is indeed good, but the changes are too fast, there are too many variables, and the land rent and rent are too expensive. At the beginning of 16 years, the lease of my factory was renewed, and the rent really tripled! It was a magical year or two, and the rent was rising everywhere. How many times has it been like this, do you still think you have a bottom? Originally, the industry was not easy, I earned very little, and I was always squeezed. Honestly, if it's really nice over there, will I come back? Blame yourself for not being able to endure it, you can't take root anywhere! The change is too fast, we are always one step behind, always one beat behind! I still can't figure out why I always have bad luck on my back! Nothing can be done, and my heart is cold. Xingbang spoke slowly word by word, and the people at the table were dumbfounded.

"Don't say those frustrating words, now I'm back and take root in our hometown! What do you need to greet a few of our old classmates, those who have money to pay, those who have a way out, and those who have resources to introduce resources, what do you want to do? Zhao Qiong, who opened the mutton steamed bun, patted Xingbang's shoulder to comfort him.

When Ma Xingbang was in junior high school, he was a student who did his duty, but because he and Zhao Qiong were next to each other in the dormitory, the two had a very close relationship, and they looked like brothers. Zhao Qiong was 1.89 meters at that time, handsome, and had a very loud voice, and she was very eye-catching in school. There was a fight with someone with the sink when he finished eating and washing the dishes, and Zhao Qiong suffered a little bit, and Li Guoyuan, who was in the same village as Zhao Qiong, went up to help, and the other party saw that the situation was evenly matched and called two people, at that time, the bald man Lei and the fine ghost Wang Mi called Ma Xingbang when they saw this, and with the help of Xingbang and everyone, Zhao Qiong won. As a result, there were six of them, and all of them were expelled from school. Because of this incident, Xingbang's image was almost beaten into the dungeon by his father Lao Ma, and he no longer believed in him.

Amazingly, six people went around in circles, and after more than 30 years, they gathered at the same table. At this time, they were all hideous-looking, wide, fat, hunched and bald, and burdened with years, hardships and trauma. After more than 30 years of boiling in society, the six people, who were also from rural areas and had little education, became the ones who opened restaurants, sold pottery, opened optical shops, sold liquor, made custom cabinets, and opened factories everywhere. This night, in order to catch Ma Xingbang and welcome Ma Xingbang back to his homeland, six junior high school classmates drank until 2:40 in the morning before they dispersed. Ma Xingbang, who was disheartened and desperate, saw that these old guys were so enthusiastic, and a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart, hoping that he could do something in his hometown.
