Chapter 13: Dead Friends
Junior high school is the most fond period of forming gangs. In this chaotic years, no one can make a die, and it will seem strange and uncool.
When Yi Yang returned to his home in the county seat, a note was inserted in the crack of the door: Brother, call my home when you come back.
Yi Yang looked at the note and was stunned for a long time, before he realized who left the note.
Zhang Bushou.
He was Yiyang's best friend in junior high school.
He was fat and not very tall.
He has always wanted to have long hair like Yi Yang, but his parents have been too strict with him, and he can only keep his head flat.
With a flat head, his face is bigger and rounder.
Zhang Bushou has always attributed his fat to his name: "Zhang Bushou, isn't it just that he is not thin!" ”
He wanted to change his name, such as Zhang Deshou, or simply Zhang Shou, but failed.
The reason for the attempt was that his butcher father did not agree. His father searched the dictionary before he found the word "Bu", which is simple and rare, and the name is very unique. He said to Zhang Bushou: "Do you like the name of that kind of rotten street? For example, Tang San? Xiao Yan? ”
Zhang Bushou said: "It's really not good, I can change my surname." ”
His father was silent for a long time, lit a cigarette, and beat him up.
He and Yi Yang became good brothers in elementary school. One day, Yi Yang was playing the King of Boxing in the game hall, and a coin was cleared, Zhang Bushou stared at the back for a long time, and suddenly his admiration arose, and he almost didn't kneel down to apprentice.
At that time, Yi Yang also experienced the taste of being recognized and admired for the first time, and became good friends with Zhang Bushou after coming and going.
Yi Yang remembered that at that time, the two of them came home from school together for a long time, went to the game hall to play games together, and later turned into going to the Internet café to play games together.
Yi Yang helped Zhang Bushou fight, and Zhang Bushou also stole the family's money and squandered it together.
The two of them had a good relationship for a while, and they wanted to wear the same pants.
It's just that no matter how good the relationship between the two is, it can't withstand the wear and tear of time and reality.
After Yi Yanggao's accident, Zhang Bushou also came to see him, but the latter two still embarked on two completely different paths.
When Yiyang began to mix in society, Zhang Bushou went to Lanxiang to learn an excavator, and then went to a construction site in another province.
Gradually, there was less contact. After Zhang Bushou got married, in the end, the two sides also became avatars that rarely beat in each other's friend lists, and they could only maintain their relationship by silently liking each other.
This is one of the helplessness of adults.
Many years later, Yi Yang remembered that when he was about twenty-seven years old, he met Zhang Bushou again when he returned to the county seat. The two drank a glass of wine together and chatted about the past, Zhang Bushou smiled bitterly and said: "It would be nice if the two of us both read some books well back then, and we wouldn't be like now." ”
At that time, both of them had matured and recognized their mediocrity.
Returning to reality, Yi Yang had mixed feelings.
If he could, Yi Yang felt that it would be good if he could let Zhang Bushou change his fate.
With a sigh, Yi Yang opened the door and entered the house.
Returning to this home again, Yi Yang sighed with emotion.
On the day he woke up from rebirth, his mind was confused, and he hadn't taken a closer look at the home.
Everything is as it remembers it.
This is one of the material treasures left to him by Yiyang's father.
Yi Yang's memory of his father was very vague, he only vaguely remembered that there was a man who hugged him when he was still in a daze.
He was only three years old when his father died.
Yi Yang's understanding of his father comes either from his grandmother or from his second uncle.
Grandma said that the eldest son is a person who is willing to endure hardships and is always optimistic.
And the second uncle said that the eldest brother is a very bold person, and he can't even think about the things he does.
When he was in kindergarten, Yi Yang didn't have any feelings for his father, but occasionally someone would say that he didn't have a father, which made him feel sad. At first, he would still cry and cry to find his mother. Later, his mother remarried and disappeared, and Yi Yang stopped crying. Whoever reveals his wounds in the future will beat him to death.
You can't beat it, you can't beat it.
However, as he grew older, Yi Yang is now relieved of his father's death. He knew that his father was a capable person, a farmer's child, relying on his own hands, bought a house and façade in the county seat, and also got two plots of land in the provincial capital.
If、Maybe my father is still alive, he can probably enjoy the pleasure of drawing the starting line ahead of his peers, right?
In his previous life, he was sensible too late, and he lost everything his father left him.
Now, regrets won't happen again.
This house is the first batch of commercial houses in the new area of the county, which is large enough, even if it is not a shared area, it is more than 120 square meters. Only my grandmother and him lived, but it actually seemed empty.
It's just that the decoration is terrible.
What can be done?
The house was handed over three years after his father's death, and it was just a rough house at the time. Grandma and the second uncle worked hard to reluctantly decorate the house to a place where people could live.
Yi Yang took the bank card from the drawer.
At present, the only source of income for the family is the annual rent collected by his father for the façade, which is not much, and it fluctuates between 30,000 and 35,000.
But this money, to pay for grandma and all his living expenses, is actually very tight.
In the last life, before grandma had an accident, she had always been in charge of the money. Give Yiyang a certain amount of pocket money every month. But since grandma had an accident and the guardian became the second uncle, the money was completely at Yi Yang's disposal, and he also fell deeper and deeper in unscrupulousness.
What Yi Yang didn't expect was that this time he asked his grandmother to give him the key to the drawer of the bank card, and she didn't hesitate at all.
Yi Yang didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that his grandmother seemed to be able to feel the changes in his soul.
Never underestimate the intuition of some old people, it is very subtle.
Holding this bank card, Yi Yang's heart was warm.
In this era, there is no mobile payment, and POS machines are not popular, and Yi Yang holds a card and has to go to withdraw cash before he can spend it.
I'm going to buy some textbook exercises.
Yi Yang thought about it and dialed Zhang Bushou's phone with a landline.
"Hello? Oh, you wait a minute. Bu Shou, someone is looking for you! ”
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Bushou picked up the receiver, Yi Yang was also a little excited, he hadn't seen this brother for a long time.
"Hey, come out and buy something for me."
"Okay, Xinghua Square will be gone!"
