Chapter 61: One More Friend of Wine and Meat
When she was repeating at Gaojiacun Middle School, Yanzi's goal was to be admitted to Fengcheng No. 1 Middle and High School, and this goal naturally became Zhang Mian's goal.
Because of this goal, Zhang Mian has changed a lot in a year, and has become a good student praised by his teachers, an excellent student among his classmates, and a pride in the eyes of his family.
It was a year when Zhang Mian got better. During that year, he endured the loneliness and loneliness of being in a foreign place, and the distress of not being able to break through due to his weak foundation, but he also enjoyed the friendship of new friends, the pride of publishing poetry, and the joy of the swallow's response.
This year is a positive year for Zhang Mian, and it is also a year that he recalls extremely down-to-earth.
A year later, Yanzi and Zhang Mian both fell off the list. Yanzi is the unified enrollment of Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School, and Zhang Mian is a borrowed student of Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Fate did not favor any of them.
In the summer vacation after graduating from Gaojiacun Middle School, because the results of the high school entrance examination all deviated from the original assumption, Zhang Mian always thought that at least Yanzi could be admitted.
If Yanzi also thinks so, then Yanzi's fall from the list is undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.
When Zhang Mian received the transcript of the high school entrance examination, he was actually disappointed, and he hoped that he would be as disappointed as possible, but fortunately, Zhang Mian could fully accept this result.
If Zhang Mian was admitted to Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School with a year's hard work, either he was talented and smart, or Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School was nothing more than that.
The pressure on Zhang Mian's list is much smaller than that of Yanzi.
When Yanzi learned that she had fallen off the list, she could imagine her disappointment, and she would even cry secretly, after all, she had worked hard for four years and never slackened off for a goal.
Thinking of this scene, Zhang Mian would be sad and sigh in the middle of the night.
That summer vacation, Zhang Mian often thought about the future on the shady mound of the wheel kiln factory, in his grandmother's starry yard, under the flagpole of Zhangjiacun Middle School, and on the road to Yanzi's house.
The future is like seeing no truth through layers of fog.
It's a kind of confusion after losing the goal, like playing a game, a familiar game ends up playing through the level, and when there is no new game to play, the end is far more painful and difficult to accept than the beginning.
Now Zhang Mian is sitting in the classroom of the first (1) class of Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, except for a girl named Nana, who is an old friend, and is familiar with the roommate who is sitting next to him.
Before entering the classroom, Zhang Mian ate two boiled eggs, and always felt that the eggs had a foot smell, and the egg yolk was not spared if the egg whites were removed, and the remaining two eggs were thrown directly into the garbage truck in front of the public toilet by Zhang Mian.
On the first day of class, Nana sat in the front row like a proud princess in a white dress with her chest held out. Su Dong listened to the lecture with a smile, and it was estimated that it would be quite difficult to find him to pay for eggs at this time.
In this way, Zhang Mian took a one-day class at Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, and the teachers of all subjects taught it very well, but Zhang Mian suddenly lost his enthusiasm for studying in Gaojia Village, and returned to the state when he first went to Zhangjiacun Middle School.
It was only three days old, and Zhang Mian only took one day to put on a crooked attitude.
Half a month passed without any new ideas.
In the past half a month, Nana has not said a word to Zhang Mian, and even eye contact has not appeared again, Zhang Mian is sure that she recognizes herself, what is the specific reason why she is unwilling to talk to Zhang Mian, and Zhang Mian does not go to investigate.
Forget about the people in the rivers and lakes, and he is not alone, not to mention that now Zhang Mian already has a swallow in his heart, how can he pester her.
For her ignorance, Zhang Mian felt sad because reality cast a shadow on the carefree childhood memories.
God will not let the blind bird go without food, nor will he let Zhang Mian continue to be bored like this.
At this time, a classmate named Gazi with clear eyebrows became Zhang Mian's new friend.
He and Su Dong were in different classes at the same level when they were in junior high school in No. 1 Middle School, and now they are divided into one class in high school, so they naturally have a lot of common topics.
Zhang Mian and Su Dong are currently living at the same table and living together, and they became familiar with Gazi by the way.
Basically, as soon as he got out of school in the afternoon, Gazi went to the playground to play football with a group of students, he was different from Niu Fangqiang who played basketball, Niu Fangqiang was enjoying the happiness of basketball alone, and he didn't even want to be disturbed.
Gazi followed the principle that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and when he saw a beautiful female classmate watching, he was finally shoveled down when he rushed to the forbidden area like a chicken blood.
He got up covered in dust and wagged his finger at the man who had shoveled him.
Under the sunset, the tall and fair-eyed man can indeed make the onlookers who love football take a few more looks.
Gazi is a unified enrollment student of Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, he enjoys the treatment of living in the school, but when he is studying at night, he often goes to the hut rented by Zhang Lu and them to sit for a while.
It is estimated that he hopes that he can live outside himself, and it is difficult for people to be completely satisfied.
Once he saw in the hut that Zhang Mian had just bought "Tagore's Sonnets" on the table from the bookstore, and actually read it quietly for half an hour, which made Zhang Mian understand him more.
It is definitely a fortunate thing to be able to meet a poet friend in Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, and when Zhang Mian is ready to read, it will definitely be much more pleasant to discuss poetry with Gazi than to communicate with Hu Dong.
Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School has one day off a week, and Zhang Mian and Su Dong plan to go home once a month, not only to be homesick, but mainly to go home to get money.
After school on the first Saturday afternoon, Su Dong proposed to Zhang Mian that he should pay ten yuan per person with extra food, and Zhang Mian immediately agreed.
I found a restaurant called "Fan Restaurant" at the south gate of a middle school, this hotel is more spacious, the business is usually better, the price is fair, the vegetarian dish is generally 1 fast 5 to 2 fast a plate, small meat 4 fast a plate, large meat 5 to 8 fast a plate, the price of cooking vegetables can also be accepted if the economy allows.
As soon as Zhang Mian and Su Dong ordered two dishes, Gazi entered the restaurant, and when he saw Zhang Mian and the two of them, he was unabashedly happy and immediately pulled a bench and sat down, Zhang Mian asked for another bottle of beer, and the three of them ate with laughter.
The dishes ordered were eaten by the three of them, and to Zhang Xuan's surprise, Su Dong made another big move at this time.
Just when everyone thought it was over, he politely asked Zhang Mian and Gazi if they wanted vegetable soup.
Can vegetable soup also be packed?
When confirming that Zhang Mian and Gazi didn't want it, Su Dong picked up the plate without warning and drank the vegetable soup on several plates like beer.
Zhang Mian was petrified in an instant, this violent, the kid who ate cabbage insects in Gaojia Village was not worth mentioning at all under the momentum of Su Dong, who drank a few plates of vegetable soup
A few students who saw it next to them were also surprised and threw away the chopsticks in their hands.
The happiest are the owners and their wives of the "fan restaurant".
After school on Friday afternoon of the second week, just like pasting and copying, Gazi appeared on time at Zhang Mian and Su Dong's dinner table again, this time the amount of dishes was obviously a little more than last time, Su Dong's ultimate move made the boss and his wife very satisfied.
It's a fucking rage at the taste of their food.
After this meal, Gazi continued to watch TV in the restaurant, and Su Dong performed another empty mouth and vegetable soup, and returned to the rented cottage with Zhang Mian with a full burp.
"Why don't you let Gazi pay ten yuan next time, so that you can order two good dishes, I'll tell him, although I am familiar with him, in fact, it's hard to say such a thing." Su Dong estimated that he was afraid that Zhang Mian would have an opinion.
"Actually, it's nothing, twenty quick money is enough for the three of us to eat, how is the Gazi family." If Gazi's family had a good life, he had eaten two meals like this, and he didn't say that the next time he had a treat, it would be a bit inauthentic.
"His family is prosperous, a younger brother and a younger sister, and his parents are farmers, so how can he live well." Su Dong's mouth is full of vegetable soup flavor, and next time he will resolutely not order fried pork liver with onions.
"You don't mind, I definitely don't mind, everyone is fate." Zhang Mian was relieved.
"Well, just be a friend of wine and meat, if you have the opportunity to read Gu Long's book, you will know that it is not bad to have a friend of wine and meat." Su Dong said with a smile.
What Su Dong said is not wrong, now Gazi is still Zhang Mian's friend of wine and meat, and it is no surprise that it will still be for many years to come.
For the sake of his hobby of loving poetry, Zhang Yidong pieced together fourteen sentences, which can be regarded as a sonnet for Gazi in the distance.
……
More than ten years later
You can remember the boy running on your soccer field
I'm so happy when I miss you
It's like words jumping on a blank piece of paper
It's like the first time I saw your eyes
Like in the sonnets we read together
Encounter amazing tropes and novelties
Nowadays, there is no pigeon whistle in the winter in Fengcheng
The village is cold except for the cattle and sheep
That year in the yard of your house
Youth and sunshine together overflow the knees
A group of children point fingers
Comparing youth and looking forward to the future
