Volume 1: Yuan Pu's Anthology "Ah Zheng" Biography

In our village, the "Holy Hand" Ah Zheng is also a household name like the wine fairy "Three Bowls". The "Holy Hand" Ah Zheng is a disabled person who cannot walk normally with his lower limbs, which should be the congenital kind.

When he was a child, like other congenitally disabled people, he was sent out by his family to learn the art of apprenticeship, in order to have a trade to support his family in the future, and he learned to repair shoes.

To be honest, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, the business of shoe repair was still relatively prosperous. Maybe people's consumption consciousness at that time was still relatively stable, and it was not like now, where there were an overwhelming supply of cheap goods.

Of course, the quality of these goods does not even have the value of repair, so now these craftsmen are slowly disappearing.

But anyway, as a craftsman that everyone couldn't do without at that time, he was still very popular with everyone.

I remember when I was a child, once my precious shoes appeared in a strike situation due to overwork, they would be sent to him. After his careful tinkering, he will soon be able to return to his post and continue to exercise his great mission of measuring the earth.

I remember that at that time, I had to wear at least a pair of ordinary sneakers for a year or two, unless it was really big and small.

Even then, it may be left behind by the adults for the younger brothers in the back to wear. Their reasoning is that the shoes are not completely broken, that is, they can still be worn.

To be honest, at that time, we children still hated the craftsmen who were masters, especially those who repaired shoes and repaired clothes.

I remember that Ah Zheng was the first person in our village to have a "private car" at that time, and his car was a special hand-braked tricycle for the disabled.

At that time, it was very popular with us little children in the village, and we chased his car like everything else new.

We like to help him push the cart from behind when going uphill, and we will also lie on the back of the car to hitchhike when going downhill, and even sometimes deliberately fall behind to make him unable to shake the car.

I remember when I was a child, my favorite thing was to go to him to find the leftover scraps and leather from shoe repairs, and then use it to make a slingshot to shoot birds.

As a disabled person with limited mobility, Ah Zheng is undoubtedly very lucky.

Because Ah Zheng's family is powerful and has a good family background, and his father is quite business-minded, he has long intentionally earned a family business for him. At his normal age, he also married a daughter-in-law.

Although the daughter-in-law is not very smart, she is strong enough to do normal farm work for him, and she has also given birth to two normal children.

At that time, he could be regarded as a happy family, because many sturdy rural people in that era were singles because their families were poor.

Speaking of his wife, although it has been almost ten years since she passed away due to illness, she is still fresh in the memory of the villagers. His wife is the lowest in her mother's family, so everyone likes to call her - "Lao Yu".

Her appearance resembles the famous singer Liu Huan, whether it is the head shape, face shape, or figure, she is very similar to Liu Huan after becoming famous. She also claimed to be Liu Huan's sister, and no one could speak ill of Liu Huan in front of her.

As long as anyone scolds Liu Huan in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, she will definitely be chased and scolded by her for several days, until you apologize to her and greatly compliment Liu Huan.

Not to mention, she can sometimes hum a few of Liu Huan's classic songs, which sounds really good, at least I feel much better than these stupid imitation shows now.

Many people say that "Lao Yu" is very blessed and is a blessed person.

Personally, I think so too, because she lives happily every day. She smiled silly at life, never anything calculating and painful.

Even if someone or something made her angry, it was just a little unhappiness that dispersed with the wind.

In addition, she also has a very likable characteristic, that is, she likes to help others, whether she knows or not, as long as she touches it, she will definitely reach out to help.

Although she can only simply help everyone do some rough work, her silly energy is still very popular with everyone.

With the development of society and the gradual improvement of living conditions, the shoe repair industry has slowly cooled down.

In addition, the conditions of Ah Zheng's family are also thriving with the growing construction team led by his father. There is no longer a need for him to earn that pitiful money to subsidize the family, and slowly Ah Zheng is idle.

In those years, the animal husbandry industry in rural areas suddenly developed vigorously across the country like bamboo shoots after rain. But within a decade, like the rest of the bubble industry, it quietly returned to its usual state.

One of Ah Zheng's relatives also returned in that wave, leaving a half-dead veterinarian in the faΓ§ade room of his house next to the street.

It is said to be a veterinary station, but at best it is a distribution store mainly engaged in household animal husbandry products.

Later, with the rapid development of large-scale farming, almost no one patronized it on weekdays. Slowly, that place evolved into a place for entertainment and leisure on the street.

Every day, a large number of idle people from the village gathered, mainly the elderly of the village, and of course some young people resting on rainy days. Everyone played poker, chess, military flags, etc., and simply had a good time to spend their free time.

In our place, most of the idlers in the village like to play poker upgrades, level up, and royalize. Leveling is a poker game in which four people are divided into two and use two decks of poker to score and advance. Enough level, that is, six people are divided into two and use four decks of poker to play poker in three or three consecutive confrontations.

The royalist is five people divided into two families, and they also use four decks of poker to play a two-on-three confrontation, and one of the two people is the emperor of the Ming and the family of the eunuch of the dark. These kinds of play require not only individual card skills, but also the teamwork of the gang.

When playing poker, we don't usually like to hang out with Ah Zheng. Because he is not only arrogant, but also does not have a bit of team spirit. When playing, he always considered himself to be extremely skilled, and often called himself a holy hand of cards, which is also the origin of his nickname "Holy Hand".

When he plays cards, he always asks the gang to be centered on him, play cards according to his will, and always cooperate with him to play cards. Admittedly, his poker skills are quite good on the streets, at least more experienced than us young people.

And he has a strong memory when he plays, and he can always calculate what cards are left in everyone's hand that haven't moved, and he will guess how you want to play based on the cards in your hand.

But he likes to show himself too much, and sometimes he won't even take care of his own help, which means companions.

Once he wins, he triumphantly takes all the credit for himself; Once he lost, he complained that the gang didn't know how to play. Many times, he will babble and complain, which makes others very unbearable.

In addition, when playing, he likes to kill his opponents, and as long as he has the upper hand, he will not give up until he kills you completely. He won't agree even if you admit defeat halfway, and he likes to be extremely sarcastic and sarcastic when you are cornered.

If he loses, he'll be running around with you with a gloomy face, trying to turn the situation around with all his brains.

If you see that he is in a hurry, it is okay to deliberately pretend to miss to make him turn the situation back, and he will smile and praise your skills for being good. If you really beat him in a row and don't give him any chance to turn over, then he won't play with you anymore.

Therefore, many times everyone doesn't think much of him, and often deliberately lets him, to be honest, no one can get close to him as a disabled person.

Slowly, his self-proclaimed "Holy Hand" became louder, at least in his own opinion, that there was hardly anyone on the street who could match him.

Like the wine fairy "Three Bowls", he also has his own classic saying: "Hehe, play cards with us, none of you can't, and you don't ask who we are?" Hmph, let's, we're the holy hand of this way! ”

It's just that one day, he was bragging about himself again, just when he said "who are we".

But who would have thought that at this time, his son, who had grown up playing cards together, suddenly came up with the same classic words: "You, who are you, aren't you just a cripple who smashes (repairs) broken shoes." ”

Suddenly, the people playing in the street were speechless......

In our place, the idlers of the village, in addition to getting together to play poker and chess. There is also a big hobby, that is, three or five groups of people gather together to "play leisure".

What astronomy and geography, national and family affairs, Zhang Chang Li short, etc., everything is discussed, and everything is talked about is full of fun and joy. As a well-known idler in the village, Ah Zhengshou is even more enthusiastic about this.

Originally, casual chatting and gossip, talking about trivial matters, as long as you don't target malicious attacks on others, there is nothing.

But Ah Zheng's words are always mean and ugly, which makes people very unacceptable. As he himself said: "Our holy hand has never sounded good in our mouths, but it is all nine plus one big truth, you like to listen to it or not." ”

He said to the villagers who had mixed well at the time: "Alas, don't look at the person he is mixing with now, and he will not know what he will look like in a few years." ”

Or put it this way: "People are rising faster and losing faster, and they will not be as good as these poor buddies when the time comes." ”

Or to say: "Be careful, the one in the village, a family similar to him has just had a big incident, and he should be careful." ”

He said to those villagers who are not good now: "Look at his hanging style, at most seven and a half, even if such a family says that he has a daughter-in-law, he can't keep it, or he is a cuckold." ”

It will be like this: "Look at what this family is all about, four or six don't understand, it's not bullshit, and they're embarrassed to mess around the street all day long." ”

He would even say something like: "Well, I just said no, I knew that something was going to happen to his family, so I would be honest." Get two hanging money, and this will be the end of it all at once. ”

Ah Zheng's gossip behind his back, he can ignore him, and no one is serious with him. But he also seems to be particularly fond of revealing other people's scars in person, and maliciously sprinkling salt on other people's wounds in laughter.

Especially, when others are crying blood in their hearts, he still stares at you tightly with straight eyes, his distorted face is full of perverted satisfaction, and sometimes he will emit a red light with excitement.

For example, if a man's daughter-in-law cheated and just ran away with someone else, he will deliberately ask you in person, why didn't you see your daughter-in-law at these two points, and where did you make a lot of money.

Or, if two young couples have been married for a few years and have no children, he will pretend to be enthusiastic and ask you, what's wrong brother, whose problem is it, can it be cured?

Sometimes, in addition to car accidents, people deliberately do not want outsiders to know, and after he hears about it, he will deliberately ask you: "What's wrong third brother, I have seen you ride a motorcycle to work these days, how cold it is."

In this way, he has been mean and deliberately humiliating others, and living happily and contentedly when others are in pain.

Ah Zheng's father is at the helm of the family construction team, and seven or eight backbones are his own family members and relatives, as well as dozens of ordinary workers, and his business is doing well.

Ah Zheng has five brothers and sisters, and he has two younger brothers and sisters, who are also the backbone of the construction team. Two brothers, a foreman and a mechanic, and the two brothers-in-law are also skilled construction masters.

And Ah Zheng has been in charge of the accounts at home since the construction team was pulled up, and he is smart enough to seize the power of money and tightly suppress others.

Perhaps this was also a deliberate arrangement by his father, thinking that it would make some proper compensation to this disabled eldest son, and he had been allowing this incongruous situation to exist.

With his father's favoritism, coupled with his strong sense of self and desire for power, his younger brothers and sisters have been suppressing their work, working quietly like some other ordinary workers. It is precisely this temporary stability that further supports his arrogant self-satisfaction and stubborn character, and cancels and teases others more harshly and sharply.

There seems to be a very strange phenomenon in our place. As some say, "lame".

Indeed, I have met a few "cripples", and they all seem to be very powerful. They shine their bright spots in different industries, especially in some out-of-the-way businesses, and they are all doing well.

A few friends and I have been together to seriously analyze the reasons for their success. We believe that their success is based on an "unbalanced" mentality.

Due to the defects of disability, they have a stronger sense of resistance than ordinary people.

Their unyielding mentality, as a powerful driving force, gives them a stoic personality and tenacity that is more tenacious than ordinary people.

At the same time, the tragic plot of them having no way out and sinking the boat makes them have more courage and courage than ordinary people.

In addition, the society's sense of inclination towards the disadvantaged groups has also made the strong among them stand out.

Of course, these are just our closed-door words, and in other words, there is absolutely no disrespect for disabled friends.

But as far as Ah Zheng is concerned, this "unbalanced" motivation has not brought him any positive effect. He is just arrogant about standing on top of other people's successes, and his own distorted mentality leads to his mean attitude towards the world.

I think he may be an alternative interpretation and exaggeration of the "unbalanced" mentality. It was in his own unique way that he lived a life full and contented......
