Yang Lei is Chen Ziyang's hair small, and almost all the residents in Dahetao Town are mine workers or workers' families, and the scale of the town is not large, so almost everyone in the town knows each other. Basically, when the people in the town go out for a walk after dinner every night, they have to greet everyone they meet, all of them are acquaintances, from the street to the end of the street.

The children in the town are also very familiar with each other. Chen Ziyang's primary school classmates and junior high school classmates are the same group of people, and almost all of the classmates' parents are colleagues and know each other, Chen Ziyang's classmates are fifty or sixty people, divided into two classes. There are fifty or sixty people in a class, and the number of people in a class in a large local school is larger than the number of people in their whole grade. Chen Ziyang's classmates went to Zidi Primary School and then Zidi Middle School together. After middle school, most of the people are separated, some go to the army, some go to technical secondary school, some go to technical school, and some go to vocational high school, and those who can continue to go to school together are admitted to high school together, and the students in Dawalnut Town can only go to the same high school when they go to high school, Linhai No. 1 Middle School, so the classmates who were admitted to high school together are still classmates in high school.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei grew up in the same line. The two of them are the same age, and they have been neighbors and friends since they were children, and they live together in the tube building on the mine. They have been classmates since kindergarten, going to elementary, middle, and high school together, and although they are sometimes in different classes, they are always in the same grade and in the same school. The two of them didn't separate until they were in college.

Coincidentally, Yang Lei, like Chen Ziyang, also returned to work in the mine after college, and they became colleagues again. That is to say, the lives of these two people coincide except for the four years they went to college. Therefore, Yang Lei is Chen Ziyang's friend since childhood, and among all Chen Ziyang's good friends, his relationship with him is the best. These two people have been together since they were children, like brothers, not brothers, but like brothers. Because the two of them are together all day long, and they both have the word "Yang" in their names, so their classmates call them Big Yang.

In Big Walnut Town, almost every family is an only child. Here, it can be said that 1,000 percent of the family planning policy has been implemented. Why the implementation is so good has something to do with the composition of this town. If the young couple gave birth to a second child without permission and violated the family planning policy, then the jobs of the two would be gone, and they would be fired from the mine directly. Therefore, except for a very few families whose policies allow them to have a second child, 100% of the working families here in Big Walnut Town are only children. Because of the relationship between few brothers and sisters, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei are really no different from brothers.

In Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei, a kid who has been a bit of a second since he was a child, and can say that he loves to blow since he was a child. So since he was a child, Chen Ziyang gave Yang Lei a nickname, called Yang Yanzi. "Swallow" is a Northeast dialect, "Swallow" here can not be pronounced as "Swallow" of melon seeds, do not read four tones, but read two tones, the same sound as "shell", the "shell" of melon seed shell. Yang Yanzi, which means that this person is special to speak, special to blow, and special to talk.

Yang Lei has always done some tiger things since he was a child, and he always makes people laugh and lean back. It seems that when the two of them were seven years old, once Yang Lei asked a nine-year-old child next door how old he was, and the child said that he was nine years old, two years older than Yang Lei. At that time, Yang Lei said to the child: "Ah, two years older than me, then I will be able to catch up with you in two years." Chen Ziyang laughed stupidly after listening to it, and he couldn't wait to go up and cut Yang Lei. Until now, Chen Ziyang didn't understand why this kid was admitted to university. Still an undergraduate!

Yang Lei is not only a kid, but also a tiger from time to time. Chen Ziyang remembered that once, when the two of them were still in kindergarten, they were both caught up with the two of them catching a cold and asked for leave to go to kindergarten at home, and the two children sat together in the corridor of the tube building to have breakfast. The two happened to see Yang Lei's mother going to work, and the children were hypocritical when they were sick, Yang Lei wanted his mother to stay at home with him, holding the dishes and chopsticks in one hand and pulling Yang's mother's thigh with the other hand and crying and shouting to let his mother stay, don't go to work. Yang's mother was afraid that Yang Lei would entangle herself, so she pushed him away and strode downstairs.

Yang Lei, this kid, came up with great energy, and he didn't have time to put down the rice bowl and chopsticks in his hand, holding the rice bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and ran forward after Yang's mother. When he caught up with Yang's mother, he put the rice bowl on the ground, put the chopsticks on the rice bowl, and then sat on the edge of the rice bowl and rolled vigorously, but no matter how much trouble this kid made, he deliberately avoided the rice bowl, and the rice bowl didn't even touch it.

Mother Yang looked back and saw his virtue, and she didn't like to ignore him, so she turned around and left. Yang Lei picked up the rice bowl again, picked up the chopsticks and continued to chase! In this way, the two of them chased from upstairs to the road downstairs, three or four times, but the rice bowl and chopsticks in Yang Lei's hands were never thrown away. And the best thing is: half a bowl of big ballast porridge in Yang Lei's bowl did not spill out. In the end, Yang's mother was so happy with her son that she asked for leave to stay at home with Yang Lei for a day.

At that time, Chen Ziyang saw this scene upstairs and was extremely impressed. To this day, every time the two of them eat together, if there is a big cake at the dinner table, they will mention it. Every time he mentioned this, Yang Lei said that the reason why he didn't throw away his rice bowl was because he had been hard and simple since he was a child, and he didn't waste things, and he wouldn't break or throw away the bowl even if he ran far. However, Chen Ziyang thinks that Yang Lei has been a foodie since he was a child, and he will not throw away his job if he throws anything away.

"Er Yang, do you know that my master Liu Banxian is dead?" After Yang Lei entered the door, he asked Chen Ziyang. Because the last character of Chen Ziyang's name is the word Yang, and Yang Lei is a few months older than him, Yang Lei has called him Er Yang since he was a child.

"Liu Banxian is dead? I saw him yesterday, how did he die? "Liu Banxian is in his fifties, everyone calls him Liu Banxian or Lao Liu, what his real name is Chen Ziyang doesn't know. But Liu Banxian is not an employee of the mine, but a helper to do white things, Liu Banxian opened a white business company in Big Walnut Town, if anyone dies, he is in charge of all the one-stop services from the purchase of things to the final burial, and people like him in Big Walnut Town are called the chief manager. The chief manager is in charge of dividends and white affairs, Liu Banxian is the best in the general manager of white affairs here, and even many people in Linhai City ask him to help when they do white things.

"I left this morning, and the doctor said it was a cerebral hemorrhage, and it is estimated that he drank a lot of alcohol. I was fine when I slept last night, but when my sister found out in the morning, everyone was cold. ”
