Chapter 40: Uncle, don't send it if you go slowly
Zhu Xiaohua sat back at the dinner table and calculated, the amount registered this time was a full eighty yuan more than the day his mother died.
Zhu Xiaohua put down his homework book and continued to eat. After eating about a third of the dumplings, suddenly there was the sound of a motorcycle downstairs, followed by a "boom" footsteps, and they came upstairs with three shakes.
The footsteps stopped at the door of the room, and just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, Zhu Xiaohua, Zhu Xiaoyan, and Zhu Xiaoming all turned their heads to look at him.
The man's knocking hand stopped in mid-air and did not knock again.
The person who came was none other than his uncle Huang Ren.
"Yo, Xiaohua is out!"
Huang Ren wears a sleek brown leather jacket.
This leather jacket is worth thousands of dollars, and it has a shiny shine and a distinctive temperament, even if you wear it on stage, you will have no problem wearing it.
"Uncle, you can really pretend, wear a leather jacket this summer, for fear that others won't know that you are rich, right?"
Zhu Xiaoming took the lead in laughing at him.
Huang Ren slowly took out the "Da Qianmen" cigarette from his pocket, and deliberately pointed the side with the three big characters "Da Qianmen" towards Zhu Xiaohua, and then took out a cigarette from it and put it in his mouth.
He struck a match.
With a "whoosh", the matchstick burst into flames, and he leaned over the cigarette and lit it.
He took a puff, then took out another cigarette, handed it to Zhu Xiaohua and said, "Yo, I forgot, nephew, Da Qianmen, I haven't smoked it, come and try it." ”
Zhu Xiaohua didn't answer.
I thought, old hat, laugh I haven't smoked, brother I smoked a Cuban cigar for 400 yuan, you don't know where to squat in the corner. You don't even have a filter, you inhale all the tar and nicotine, what's there to show off.
Uncle Huang Ren took the side with the trademark again, shook it in front of Zhu Xiaohua's eyes, and then put it in his pocket.
"Uncle, I have money now!" Huang Ren leaned against the door, one leg trembling, "If the three of you are willing to admit your mistakes, I don't want the fourteen yuan." ”
Huang Ren squinted at the three people in the room.
Zhu Xiaoyan didn't notice Huang Ren's snort, and asked innocently: "Uncle, do you really want us to pay it back?" ”
"Of course, who am I, I am your uncle, in this ten miles and eight villages, no one is willing not to give me Huang Ren's face. How dare you throw my money downstairs. ”
Huang Ren spat out a puff of cigarette, "Your father and mother used to laugh at me, but now you rabbit cubs dare to laugh at me." I can't afford to pay back the fourteen yuan, and if I really want it, others will say I'm stingy.
"Uncle, I am very generous, the three of you apologize in front of everyone, and I will spare you."
Zhu Xiaoming said: "However, you keep saying that my brother is a hooligan. ”
Huang Ren pretended to be surprised: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." Isn't your brother a hooligan, is he wrongly judged, and it is someone else who is reformed through labor on the farm? ”
Zhu Xiaoyan and Zhu Xiaoming's expressions dimmed.
They hated it the most.
Zhu Xiaohua stood up "Huo" and said, "If you have nothing else, you can go back." I'll give you back your fourteen dollars. ”
Huang Ren said: "This is what you said, don't chew your tongue in front of people when you go out in the future, saying that I, who is an uncle, is ruthless." You don't appreciate it today, but by the way, you've been out for two days. Don't forget that there are five days left in the repayment period. ”
Huang Ren looked at the dumplings on the dining table, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It's like being smothered in the head.
In the past few days, he has been waiting for Zhu Xiaoming and Zhu Xiaoyan to come to the door to beg him.
In his imagination, these nephews left him, and I am afraid that they can only drink the northwest wind and starve to death on the streets.
However, he didn't expect that after the death of his parents, the brothers and sisters would sit at the table and eat dumplings.
The food was actually better than his.
Huang Ren secretly scolded in his heart, dog's day, what kind of heavenly principle is this?
Zhu Xiaoming deliberately took out a dumpling and said, "Uncle, do you want to stay and eat, pork dumplings." ”
He stretched out the dumplings in front of Huang Ren, who swallowed his saliva and hesitated.
He hadn't eaten, and he was a little hungry.
Huang Ren stared at Zhu Xiaoming's dumplings.
When the dumplings were about to be delivered to Huang Ren, Zhu Xiaoming suddenly stepped forward and took a bite, put it in his mouth, and said, "It's a pity, there are not more." Slow down and don't send. ”
"Bang!"
Huang Ren angrily slammed the door and left.
"Hahaha!"
The three siblings in the room laughed together.
In the afternoon, Zhu Xiaohua went to look for his old classmates to see if there were any suitable performance opportunities.
Passing by a plaza clearing, he saw Hu Zhicheng dressed in civilian clothes.
Who is Hu Chi Shing?
A dancer of the Art Troupe, a figure who caused a sensation in the city for breaking dance in the 1984 Summer Art Competition of Los Angeles Iron and Steel Plant.
In the show the day before, they won second place with a brilliant result.
"Zhu Xiaohua!"
He beckoned to Zhu Xiaohua from afar.
Zhu Xiaohua was in a hurry, and when he was thinking about whether to stop, he had already run to him and grabbed him.
"We're looking for you."
Hu Zhicheng said.
Zhu Xiaohua: "What are you looking for me for, I won't refund the ten yuan performance fee." ”
Hu Zhicheng: "It's not that you are asked for performance fees. Look what this is! ”
He pulled Zhu Xiaohua to the steps of the square.
On the stairs, there is a dual-card tape recorder, the kind that can hold a cassette tape on the left and right.
The song "Sweet Honey" was playing on the silver tape recorder:
"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly
It's like flowers blooming in the spring breeze
Open in the spring breeze
Where and where have I seen you
Your smile is so familiar
I can't remember it for a moment
……”
Next to the tape recorder, several young men in plaid shirts and with long hair parted in the middle were dancing. They are also all actors in the art troupe.
At the performance that day, they had seen each other.
Hu Zhicheng patted the tape recorder lightly and said, "Yan Dance, Yan Dance, a song brings a piece of love...... This Yan Dance tape recorder is worth more than 700 yuan, and we won it from yesterday's performance. There is also your credit. ”
Another youth said: "Yesterday we won second place. ”
Yesterday's performance, "We Workers Have Power" became the first place with an undisputed attitude.
As for the second place, there is a lot of controversy, and they all feel that this break dance is too fashionable and avant-garde, and it conflicts with the current mainstream aesthetics.
However, a gray-haired judge said a word, and the second place was finally decided.
She said: "This song with break dancing is too expressive and touching. The singer has a good voice and good singing skills. In Los Angeles, in this era, I have never seen such a good singer. ”
Hu Zhicheng said a little sourly: "When the show ended yesterday, many people went backstage to ask you. They all asked, who is the person who gave you the song? I was a little angry at the time, and it was the main character who broke danced. ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "That's really gratifying, congratulations." However, do you know where there are performances lately, I am in dire need of money. ”
