Hua Yehong was born in November 1989. It was the first batch of students in the first grade of primary school in 89/90, and it was also the first batch of post-90s.

He belongs to the family of the descendants of military cadres, and his grandfather is an old regiment leader who participated in the three major battles of the Liberation War and resisted US aggression and aided Korea. After changing jobs, he was assigned to Nansu City and became an executive of a state-owned pharmaceutical factory. There are four elders in the second generation of the family, and the youngest is Hua Yehong's father, Hua Chen.

Hua Yehong has been living with his grandparents since he can remember, and the absence of his parents did not make him feel too lonely in his childhood. His grandparents have always cared for him very much and taken good care of him. In this way, he was hazy in early childhood, and soon finished kindergarten and entered elementary school in 1996.

At that time, he lived in the compound of a state-owned pharmaceutical factory, and he had several of his best friends. They are Li Tianyang, who lives in the same building as Hua Yehong, and Yang Luyao and Tang Jun in the next building.

The four of them can be said to be friends who have played since kindergarten. When I was a little older, I often visited the house, playing mud, playing foreign cards, yo-yo and other small games together.

In the early 90s, unlike 2010 in the 21st century, people's living standards completely entered the era of electronic technology and network information. Most of the children in the 90s did not have these things when they were young, and all kinds of small games close to natural life were their only entertainment.

Recalling this era, many post-85s who have married and become parents nowadays, post-90s often sigh that although they didn't have anything to play when they were young, no computers, smartphones, and no Internet, they are still very happy.

They sighed at the gap between the changes of the times, the children's lives are rich and colorful, and they seem to be happier, but they have lost too much of the original beauty of life and that innocence.

When Hua Yehong was in the first grade of elementary school, he was the same as most of the children at that time. The only entertainment at home is watching TV, and it is very fun to be able to watch a cartoon once in a while, get a small toy or snack.

Li Tianyang lives upstairs in Hua Yehong's house. Li Tianyang's grandfather was also an old cadre in the army, and his rank was higher than Hua Yehong's grandfather, but later, his originally wealthy family was much more depressed.

Li Tianyang's father, Li Bin, is more special, and he has a violent personality when he becomes an adult, and he is particularly brave and ruthless. Soon became a well-known bastard in the eastern district of Nansu City in the 80s, dominating one side.

Li Bin was arrested and imprisoned during the national crackdown in 83. A few years after being released from prison, she got married and gave birth to Li Tianyang, but her violent temperament still did not change, and she scolded and educated Li Tianyang since he was a child. I also open a mahjong stall at home, a food stall at the door of my house, and a game machine room.

Still eating, drinking, and having fun with his bastard brothers all day long. And Li Tianyang has been influenced by his father Li Bin's "violent hooligan culture" since he was a child, so he became the king of children in the compound of the pharmaceutical factory, but he has the closest relationship with his neighbor Hua Yehong.

Hua Yehong's neighbor in the next building, Yang Luyao is a girl, but she has a pungent and quirky personality since she was a child, and she likes to play with boys. Her grandfather and Hua Yehong's grandfather are old comrades-in-arms who were born and died. The relationship was originally iron, so Hua Yehong and Li Tianyang often took Yang Luyao to play together, and no one in the entire compound dared to bully her.

Tang Jun is also Hua Yehong's neighbor in the next building. His fathers Tang Ran and Hua Yehong, and Li Bin's father are also young. Because this boy has been very smart since he was a child, he is proficient in playing mud, yo-yo, shooting foreign paintings and cards, and often has a lot of snacks and toys, so he was quickly "retracted" by Li Tianyang, and formed a "child king quartet" with Hua Yehong, Yang Luyao and others. "Affection is deep.

After they were 20 years old, they summed up: they have Hua Yehong, Yang Luyao, Li Tianyang, and Tang Jun as the core, plus their later primary school classmates Yang Yu and Xia Ting. Later, it became a youth gang in our city, which was well-known in both positive and negative ways, mainly from the following two reasons.

1: They are all neighbors, even world friends. Hua Yehong's father, Hua Chen, and Li Tianyang's father, Li Bin, were both well-known bastards in the city's eastern district in the 80s. Hua Chen and Tang Jun are also the first batch of businessmen who have become private entrepreneurs in China's market economy.

2: The characteristics of the six of them are all complementary to each other.

Back to the topic, Hua Yehong's memories drifted back to the summer of 1996, when they went to elementary school. Coincidentally, Hua Yehong, Li Tianyang, Yang Luyao, and Tang Jun became classmates. The most impressive thing is that the first week after the class teacher selected the class president, completely changed and influenced the future fate of these 6 children.

In the squad president election at that time, Yang Luyao, who has been a beauty embryo since she was a child and has a particularly active personality, ran to become the squad leader. It was Friday, and the class teacher was not there.

"Students, today is the first cleaning activity in our class, everyone has to work hard! Can't let the teacher down! Ay! I said what about you! Liu Ting! How did you wipe that window? Although Yang Luyao is young, she has already demonstrated her leadership skills and her habit of controlling others.

"Smack!" The rag was brutalized by a girl and still on the ground!

"Yang Luyao! Although you are the class leader! But you can't just talk about it! Everybody's cleaning! Why are you standing aside and calling us! The girl named Liu Ting said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right! The squad leader should take the lead! The students said no! Another girl took the lead and coaxed. In this way, the class suddenly rioted, the children are young, have no scheming, and are most likely to be guided by the person who takes the lead.

"Shut up! I'm the class leader! You'll have to listen to me! I'm in charge! So I don't have to work! Yang Luyao shouted without showing weakness.

"Pan Xiaoya!" Liu Ting glanced at the girl next to her, and another girl walked over.

"Yang Luyao, let me tell you, I don't accept you as a squad leader. Either today, let's compare who has more supporters and who is the class leader? ”

Hua Yehong, Yang Luyao and others never thought that this girl named Pan Xiaoya would become their first competitor in the future! This girl is also the same as Yang Luyao, who has demonstrated leadership ability at a young age and relies on the appeal of women. The so-called seeing big from a small is what it says.

The two most beautiful girls in the class started a silent confrontation at this time. Just when Yang Luyao and Pan Xiaoya were confronting, Li Tianyang, who was so brave and ruthless, had already picked up the mop that mopped the floor, and Hua Yehong also clenched the broom in his hand and watched coldly. Tang Jun, on the other hand, sat leisurely in his chair and looked at them without saying a word.

Just when the atmosphere was at its stiffest, suddenly a pencil case smashed towards Pan Xiaoya! Everyone's eyes looked over, and it was unexpected. turned out to be the softest-looking girl in the class, smashed by Xia Ting.

Xia Ting finished smashing the pencil case, her expression was still calm. didn't even look at Pan Xiaoya, she lowered her head and was writing her homework, as if it wasn't from her hand just now. She said lightly: "Clean up, clean up, don't make others do their homework." ”

Pan Xiaoya has been pampered since she was a child, and her parents never beat and scolded her, and they didn't even speak loudly to her. At this time, he was suddenly hit hard by a pencil case, and he was so aggrieved that he cried. Soon she blushed and shouted loudly to a few boys who liked her: "Xia Ting bullied me!" You guys help me hit her! ”

As soon as Pan Xiaoya's words were finished, a few boys walked up to Xia Ting's side with flamboyant tongues and said, "Oops! Our classmate Xia Ting is very powerful, I can't see it, how about you come and beat me too? ”

After saying that, the boys began to touch Xia Ting's braids, and deliberately threw her books and homework books to the ground. Xia Ting was not afraid, sneered and picked up her homework book, not looking at a few male classmates who bullied her.

At this time, Yang Yu, another boy in the class, jumped out, went up and pushed away the boys and scolded: "Is it interesting for you to bully a girl!" You want to be shameless! ”

"Hey, Xiao Yang Yu has also started to meddle? Hahaha" led by the chubby classmate named Zhang Kun laughed wantonly, this Zhang Kun relied on his fat body since he was a child, and he was used to bullying people in the Hongqi New Village community near the school, so he went up and started to beat Yang Yu, and used the advantage of weight to put him on the ground, and several boys rushed up and coaxed together. Children are often like this, fighting at a young age is often not a fight, but purely out of interest.

Just when Zhang Kun was playing hard, he didn't notice Hua Yehong walking behind him. Influenced by his grandfather's education, Hua Yehong, who likes to "uphold justice", has already approached Zhang Kun, and when he went up, he kicked Zhang Kun's chubby face, and the other boys had not yet reacted, Hua Yehong's broom had already hit them in the face!

A few children just wanted to fight back, but Li Tianyang had already shouted: "Ye Hong! Get out of the way! After speaking, he picked up the mop with the most lethal power at that time, and swept it over 360 degrees without dead ends!

Li Tianyang inherited his father Li Bin's tradition of being brave and ruthless, he was often beaten by his father when he was a few years old, and often witnessed his father and other bastards fighting in mahjong stalls. How could the 7 or 8-year-old children at that time ever encounter such a ruthless person? Soon Zhang Kun and the others were dispersed by Li Tianyang alone, and several couldn't help but sit on the ground and cry.

Li Tianyang climbed onto the podium of the class at this time, stood on it and shouted loudly: "Tell you, who will disobey Yang Luyao as the class leader again!" I'll hit whoever I want! ”

Hua Yehong also walked over and said loudly to the class: "Students! Today it is Pan Xiaoya who is unreasonable, and Zhang Kun and they bully people first! No one is allowed to tell the teacher, did you hear it! ”

At this time, an even more unexpected scene happened. Tang Jun, who had been sitting on the chair and watching coldly, opened his schoolbag. took out a lot of snacks from it and said to Zhang Kun and the others: "Everyone is classmates, how about our class unity in the future?" Today I invite you all to a snack! ”…

In this way, a children's turmoil was completely quelled under the influence of Yang Luyao, the violence of Hua Yehong and Li Tianyang, and Tang Jun's way of "buying people's hearts" with snacks. Since then, they have established their status in the class in the future.

After school, Hua Yehong and the other four went home together and happened to meet Xia Ting and Yang Yu. Yang Luyao said: "Hey! Ye Hong, Tianyang, look, isn't that Xia Ting and Yang Yu! Let's talk to them! ”

"Xia Ting, thank you, why did you help me at that time?" Yang Luyao asked enthusiastically.

"It's nothing, I just think Pan Xiaoting is too annoying, and she makes me do my homework." Xia Ting said lightly.

"Yang Yu, why did you help Xia Ting at that time?" Yang Luyao began to ask Yang Yu again.

"I'm fine, I just can't get used to them bullying girls, and Xia Ting is my neighbor." Yang Yu said.

"Ye Hong, I think Yang Yu is very particular, let's invite him to drink Coke?" Li Tianyang grew up in a "hooligan" family, although he did not have the concept of "brotherly righteousness" at a young age, but subconsciously, he admired Yang Yu's courage and liked to make friends with such classmates.

At this time, Tang Jun smiled, he walked over and said, "Let's go!" How about I invite everyone to eat KFC! ”

"KFC?" Yang Yu was stunned when she heard this, and Xia Ting still looked calm, but there was a bright color in her eyes.

"However, I don't have any money, I only have 1 yuan, and I will use it for breakfast tomorrow." Yang Yu said embarrassedly.

"I don't have any money." Xia Ting also replied.

"It's okay! I said I'm in for a treat! Let's go! Tang Jun said boldly.

"Haha! That's great! You can't go back! Li Tianyang said happily.

In 1996, KFC had just entered the Chinese market not long ago, and it was only open in big cities. It is no exaggeration to say that children at that time really didn't have much pocket money. Generally, a few dollars, or even a few cents, can buy a few packs of snacks and a few toys.

In 2009, Hua Yehong, who was already 20 years old, clearly remembered that when he was in elementary school, 1 yuan could buy 10 packs of plums to eat. 1 cent a pack, at that time, for children, being able to eat a KFC was definitely a luxury meal.

For children from ordinary or poor families, they may not be able to eat one meal a year. For children between the ages of 5 and 12, the most attractive thing for them is nothing more than playing and eating. Therefore, for Tang Jun, who had the most pocket money at that time, Yang Yu and Xia Ting happily accepted it.

According to Hua Yehong's recollection, that meal was the first time Yang Yu and Xia Ting ate KFC, and it cost nearly 100 yuan. For Nansu City after 2010 in the 21st century, 100 yuan is simply not money, not enough to eat a hearty meal, and it will be gone to the supermarket to buy a little something. But in 1996, for primary school students, 100 yuan was definitely a real "100 yuan bill".
