Chapter 9, Black Heart
It is said that if a tree does not have bark, it will surely die; People are shameless, and the world is invincible.
When a widow thinks of being unscrupulous when she wants to be male, there is nothing she can do about the serious and the improper.
Lu An thought that he was unlucky, so he could only suffer a dumb loss, so he gave up.
Get dressed, put the meat that you haven't eaten in the afternoon into a bamboo basket, and hang it into the patio. The weather is still hot and humid this season, and it can't be let go rancid.
It's been almost a day since he came back from rebirth, and he hasn't touched a high school book until now, so it's a bit of a waste of time, and to be honest, he doesn't know the bottom of his heart.
So he lit a kerosene lamp and began to be ruthless.
In his previous life, he was a professor at the 211 Foreign Language College, and he was more sensitive to languages, so in order to get back the feeling of reading, he first turned to English books.
Fortunately, half an hour later, he found that high school English was simply pediatric for him. From listening, grammar, cloze in the blanks, reading comprehension to short essays at the end, communication is easy.
followed by Chinese, he flipped through two textbooks in a row, probably because he had accumulated enough in his life, and he felt good, not difficult.
But there are some rote things that still need him time to memorize.
There were no problems with the two main subjects of English and Chinese, which made his tense nerves relax a little and give him a little more confidence.
Mathematics used to be a subject that Lu An was proud of throughout his student career. Now all the way down, his face has changed.
The basic plate is still there, and I still have a deep impression of some topics and some mathematical formulas. But there are so many things that have been lost, and it is not very possible to regain the glory of the past in a short time.
Finally, it is a political and historical place, after turning it over, it can only be described as "miserable", understanding ability is his strength, but the foundation has collapsed, no matter how strong the understanding ability is, it is useless? You have to start from scratch.
The English and language gave him a breath and made him feel alive.
Mathematics and politics and history shut him up and died.
It's like an old man going to the club, he was very excited when he first saw the tender model, but when the tender model highlighted a "tender", his bones were scattered, and he wanted to call the police, but he regretted it.
Sighing deeply, he really wanted to lie on the bed like this, hoping to wake up and find that today was just a dream, he was still drinking with his confidante, and the confidante unbuttoned three buttons against him...
That night, he read math for four hours, then memorized politics for two hours, and didn't sleep until it was dark.
Lu An had a dream, dreaming of Meng Qingchi, the breeze and clouds, the smoke and waves of the five lakes, and her body was shining.
The dream in the middle suddenly flickered, and the person next to the pillow became Widow Zhang, who was smirking and laughing wildly, and she turned over again in the laughter...
Hiss...!
Lu An took a sharp breath of cool air, and the person was awakened, his hands and feet were cold.
Widow Zhang, you are endless, you don't even let go of the old man in your dreams. The fortune teller said that you have to wear filial piety 6 times, but you only wear it 3 times, don't look for me...
I put on my clothes, leaned on the window and looked outside, and found that it was still the old Guifei Alley, and the broken porcelain bowl was still lying in the courtyard.
Yes, nothing has changed, there is no going back, he resigned himself to his fate.
Noodles boiled for breakfast.
After pulling half of the meat chop that he hadn't eaten yesterday and covering it, he hurriedly finished a few big mouthfuls, bought a bag of sugar and a bottle of Erguotou at the mouth of the alley, and took a bus to the west of the city.
Now that the college entrance examination is less than a year away, the time is very tight, he can't waste a minute or a second, since some things have been decided, he will do it quickly.
Uncle Lu Xueyou lives in the west of Baoqing City. Before the Republic of China, this area had always been a slum, and the poor were crowded.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place has undergone earth-shaking changes, as far as the eye can see, it is full of towering chimneys, billowing smoke is constantly spraying into the sky, and the wind can blacken the land for 30 miles.
Behind the chemical plant is a workers' quarter, and the houses here are all shacks made of dry pine and iron sheets.
The road is crooked and narrow, bypassing a few alleys, and after passing a public toilet dripping with yellow water, Lu An finds his cousin Lu Xueyou in a dark room.
Jacky Lu is a little hunchbacked, his beard is unkempt, and his clothes are greasy enough to stick to mice.
He was widowed in his early years, and his two sons were divided to the limit, the eldest son served as a soldier and ate the national food, and the younger son worked as a gangster on the street. Living alone for a long time leads to a very messy and dirty home.
"Uncle Cousin, I've come to see you."
Luan walked in, put his things on the table, and chose a relatively clean place to sit down.
Jacky Lu was lowering his head to file the iron lump just now, when he heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and then quickly twisted his head back, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Lu An asked, "Uncle Cousin, your neck and chin are cleaner than other places, and you were licked by a cat last night?" Still licked out the flowers? ”
He almost laughed, as an old fitter who had worked for 30 years, his uncle's nails were full of heavy oil stains, his whole face, all his hair, and even his teeth seemed to be plated with a layer of rust, and there was a smell of lubricating oil wafting from his body.
The smell of lubricating oil is mixed with body odor, and dogs from 5 miles away can be smoked to death.
was recognized, Jacky Lu suddenly showed his true heroic qualities, only to see him pat the ash on his pants, and then pat Lu An's shoulder:
"The gold bar should be big, the ingots should be small, the water in this line is very deep, your pubic hair has just grown, and you don't know what it tastes like."
Lu An said: "I know, Uncle Cousin, you are a fitter, technology!" Technology is the most important thing! ”
Jacky Lu laughed and said proudly: "The ancestor has appeared, and our Lu family has another genius." ”
Followed to a restaurant, Lu An told the purpose of today's visit.
Jacky Lu broke the chopsticks and separated them, chose a thin bamboo slice as a toothpick and picked it in his mouth:
"Repairing a bicycle is a science, just like if you have 50 women at the same time, you have to make sure you can't call their names wrong in bed, how to maintain each part, how to repair it, you have to do it exactly right..."
Patiently listening to Uncle Lobby's words, Lu An said: "I didn't think about becoming stronger and bigger, I just wanted to improve my family's life, and it would be better if I could earn a little college tuition by the way." ”
Hearing the words "college tuition", Jacky Lu, who had just said all the bells and whistles, immediately became a little formal: "Don't underestimate a stall like this, I go out for 2 hours a day at the entrance of the alley, with a minimum of 400 yuan a month and a maximum of 800 yuan, if you learn this technology, it is enough to make a living." ”
Lu An was clear about this business, but he still humbly asked him about various technical problems, and took a complete set of maintenance tools with him when he left.
Sending a mile of land, Lu Xueyou taught Lu An the core secret: "It is easy to make a lot of money in the maintenance industry, and the most important point is to have a black heart."
When the bike passes through our hands, it not only allows it to move forward, but also backwards.
The white ones should be said to be black, the parts should be changed frequently, and the glass should be broken and broken, you must remember it. ”
"When I got back, I did my first homework and collected glass bottles," Luan said. ”
Jacky Lu hesitated, patted him on the shoulder again, and instructed earnestly: "Xiao An, you have been smart since you were a child, and you must not spend too much time repairing cars to make money."
It is said that the skin of female students in college is better than that of the workshop, and you now have hard teeth and are just right for your appetite. ”
Lu An said, "Uncle Cousin, thank you. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely invite you to stay on the 5th floor of the Chaise Grand Hotel for a long time. ”
Jacky Lu's small eyes opened a few points suddenly: "I heard that there is a big ocean horse from Xiangjiang there?" ”
Luan said, "Yes. ”
Jacky Lu encouraged: "Then you have to work hard, uncle and I will start to maintain health from the sky today, and wait for you to come back." ”
