Chapter 80: A Small Team
It was still a little early before the time for lunch, and Li Tong and Jiang Tianliang casually found an excuse to leave Jiang's house. In fact, at that time, many families managed boys in the form of sheep herding, especially those who did not go to school, and they played in the streets and alleys all day long, with scars on their heads and broken skins on their knees, which were all small things in the eyes of their parents.
After the two of them left Jiang's house, they first turned left and came to the corner of the west courtyard, and put down a long-standing bamboo pole that was standing in the corner of the wall as a drying rack. And a few children who had been waiting outside the door for a long time saw Li Tong and them come out, and immediately carried their bags and baskets around them, and the chatter made Li Tong's head buzz.
Li Tong interrupted their commotion irritably, and pointed to one of the boys with a slumped nose.
"Wang Xiaoer, come on!"
"Third brother, everything you told us to do is ready, we just want to ask if we can participate in such a big thing as going to Shichahai to fish?" Wang Xiaoer, who lived in the courtyard next to Li Tong, asked excitedly.
Li Tong turned his head and glanced at Jiang Tianliang, who was following Silly Le next to him, and said: "It's not impossible for you to go with you if you want to, but you can't forget the old rules of obeying discipline and obeying commands in all actions, and no one can run around at will without my orders, let alone swim in the river, I don't want to be burdened by you to go home and be beaten up." ”
"Yes, please rest assured, chief!" Wang Xiaoer saluted Li Tong with a young pioneer salute.
"Me too!"
"And me, and me!"
The remaining four children reassured Li Tong that these children all lived in the same alley as Li Tong and them, and many of their parents had been friends for more than 20 years. Just like Wang Xiaoer, who was named by Li Tong at the beginning, his family is a land-sitting household in Qinlao Hutong, and the courtyard where he lives now is his family's ancestral home, but the house was handed over to the government for disposal when the commune was cooperativeized ten years ago.
It is also worth mentioning here that the title of Wang Xiaoer is his nickname, not because he is the second oldest in the family, but because Wang Xiaoer's parents gave him the name Wang Xiaoer.
What's even more strange is that Wang Xiaoer's eldest brother is not called Wang Boss, but Wang Jiefang, according to his own words, because his mother broke his amniotic water on the road, and a kind people's soldier drove a liberation car to send his mother to the hospital to give birth to his eldest brother, so Wang Xiaoer's mother named her eldest son Wang Jiefang.
As for the name of Wang Xiaoer's second sister, it is even better, people call Wang Ruixue, as the name suggests, Wang Xiaoer's mother coincided with heavy snow when she gave birth to her second daughter that year, so Wang Xiaoer's mother took the homophonic words of the first two words from Ruixue Zhaofeng Year and named her little daughter Wang Ruixue.
And the reason why Wang Xiaoer is called Wang Xiaoer is also his life, that year Wang Xiaoer's mother was waiting to give birth in the hospital, and Wang Xiaoer's father didn't know what to do happily and fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, Wang Xiaoer had already come out of the delivery room. Because Wang Xiaoer's father was drunk from a small bottle of Erguotou, Wang Xiaoer's mother gave this unlucky guy such a name when she was angry.
But Wang Xiaoer didn't think so, because he also had a younger brother, and that year, Wang Xiaoer's mother made a rickshaw to go to the hospital to give birth, and just stepped on a piece of shit as soon as he got off the car.
Wang Xiaoer, the child, I don't know if it was really because of the wrong name, or because he accidentally hit his head when he was carried out of the delivery room by the nurse. He and Li Tong and Jiang Tianliang are both students in the same school, but he is two years older than Li Tong and them, and he was expelled from the school when he was in the third grade of elementary school for burning the teacher's lectern with a fire.
The original words of the school are that Wang Xiaoer, a child, is stupid and stubborn, and has been recognized by Wang Xiaoer's parents and a large group of neighbors, but Li Tong feels that this Wang Xiaoer is very easy to get along with.
For people with this kind of character, you must not communicate with him with a reasonable attitude, otherwise either he will be furious or you will be angry, and the best weapon to deal with this kind of person is temptation. Use benefits and benefits to control his mind and tie his hands and feet, and you will soon find that this kind of person is easily brainwashed and becomes a fan of other people.
In addition to selling the hemp duck eggs in the virtual farm, Li Tong has only given them to three people, namely Xu Jingli, Jiang Tianliang, and Wang Xiaoer. And the lethality of the hemp duck egg to Wang Xiaoer far exceeds Li Tong's imagination, and the effect is not enough to describe, Wang Xiaoer, who is two years older than Li Tong, only took one night to complete the adjustment of his identity and became Li Tong's chief and number one dog.
Next, under Li Tong's instructions and with the help of materials, Wang Xiaoer quickly recruited four children who either actively or passively dropped out of school from several courtyards in Qinlao Hutong, namely 11-year-old Zhao Jianguo, 12-year-old Qian Jianjun, who lived in the same courtyard as Wang Xiaoer, and 10-year-old Sun Heping and 11-year-old Wu Xinguo, who lived in the easternmost part of the alley.
The personalities of these four children are very distinctive, with one adjective called Biaozi and another adjective called stunned Qing. If you pair it with Wang Xiaoer, who is responsible for leading them, you can interpret a classic Hong Kong film very vividly and vividly.
"Five Lucky Stars in Summer"~
Li Tong didn't want to be idle with these five bars, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Tianliang beside him in front of them, and ordered: "If you want to run fast, it all depends on the headband, you all listen to Jiang Xiaopang's command from now on, and Jiang Xiaopang listens to me and understands?" ”
"Roger!" Wang Xiaoer shouted seriously.
"Understood!" The other four people saw that Wang Xiaoer himself did not object, so they naturally had no opinion.
As for Jiang Tianliang, who experienced this kind of occasion for the first time, he seemed a little timid, completely at a loss, he didn't know if he should do something now, or if he should say something.
After all, Jiang Tianliang has never commanded so many people, and honors like class cadres and Young Pioneers in school are given to top students with good academic performance, and poor students like him have no chance at all. In the yard, there are two outstanding children, Li Tong and the stick terrier, to be the children's heads, and what Jiang Tianliang can do is to choose to stand in line and do his own work.
The current scene is what Jiang Tianliang dreamed of, which is both exciting and challenging.
And this is also a test for Jiang Tianliang by Li Tong, Li Tong wants to know what this good friend's personality is most suitable for, especially as Li Tong begins to expand his team, what is Jiang Tianliang's role in the team.
A motivated doer, an affable organizer, a dogmatic perfectionist, or an information gatherer whose curiosity kills the cat.
"Let's go, the target is Shichahai!" Li Tong raised his fist and shouted, then turned his head to look at the cramped Jiang Xiaopang, and muttered silently in his heart.
Friend, don't let me down.
