6 Brother and Xiaohong

It happened a little suddenly.

Zheng Zhe always feels that Gu Ming seems to go out to work, or go out to play, and he can come back at night.

So Zheng Zhe went out to look for him when he had nothing to do, and he couldn't decide which day he would pull this kid out of a certain corner. He searched for Xia Tian from spring to June, but Gu Ming never found him.

Zheng Zhe didn't move, his mother and Zheng Yan had already left, he stayed in his own building, and stayed in this small dilapidated house waiting for Gu Ming to come back.But Zheng Zhe felt embarrassed after staying for a while. After all, it is different now. Ai Jin has already left. It is not good for him to live there, but he does not want to leave. Are you back?

Zheng Zhe went home to buy delicious food all day long. He carefully recalled what Gu Ming liked to eat at that time, and he could only think of red sausages. So he went home every day to buy red sausages, and hung them in rows to dry under the eaves.

Northeast red sausages are very salty and mostly air-dried, so they won't break if hung outside for a while, but because the big red sausage is obscene in shape and rippling in taste, it quickly attracted a bunch of flies, and one A fat wild cat, it sneaks up every night, at first it is itself, and later it invites friends, it gnaws Zheng Zhe's red sausage so badly, it makes people talk about it at first sight.

Zheng Zhe woke up in the morning and saw that the red sausages outside were all torn out of shape, so he picked them up one by one with a small stick, thinking that he would never do this kind of thing again in the future, it was too expensive.

Thinking about the money, he began to look for his passbook. Gu Ming was not at home, so he could rummage through the box at will, but Zheng Zhe couldn't find it after searching for several days, so he had no choice but to go to the bank to make up another one.

Zheng Zhe was stunned when he knew that the money had been emptied.

It was very windy that day, and the street was very noisy. Zheng Zhihua's songs seemed not out of date. The merchants who sold tapes moved their stereos to the street, singing loudly, and Zheng Zhe's brain was buzzing.

In the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, Zheng Zhe was full of cold wind and snow in his bones. He stood by the side of the street with his feet muddy, dazed for a while, then moved his body with difficulty, put his hands in his pockets, and remained silent Go in the direction of home.

When he ran away from home, he had nothing. Now that he wants to go home, he still has nothing.

But it's also easy, everything is back to the far point, anyway, he is still young, some time to start all over again, some energy to start dreaming again.

Zheng Zhe walked back to his home for two hours, found his building key from the large bunch of keys on his waist, and opened the door to enter the house.

The furniture in the house was covered with bed sheets by his mother, probably afraid of falling dust, Zheng Zhe walked into his room familiarly, but nothing had changed there, Zheng Zhe's high school textbooks were still on the desk, with A paper crane was placed, probably made by Zheng Yandui.

Zheng Zhe didn't take off his shoes, and the room was full of big mud marks. He spread his arms and lay down on his bed. It was still early, and Zheng Zhe was suffocating with energy, just about to move, but he didn't want to let these emotions vent. , He closed his eyes and began to sleep, thinking that it would be good if he fell asleep.

As a result, he woke up in the middle of the night with tears all over his face, and his whole body almost burst.

At first, he comforted himself that it was nothing, thinking that he would be able to ignore this matter like a man, but he couldn't get rid of the vulgarity after all. He was crying at home like a woman, his eyes were swollen like peaches. It looks like a big-eyed dragonfly that has become a spirit.

But this sadness didn't last long, he soon had enough crying, and when he was bored, Xiao Liang came to the door.

So he started to drink with Xiao Liang all day long, listening to Xiao Liang repeating those comforting words without any new ideas all day long.

It can't be blamed for Xiao Liang's lack of new ideas.

Xiao Liang was living a good life at first, but Zhang Chunming's people went to his house, saying they couldn't find Zheng Zhe, and couldn't get in touch anyway. Xiao Liang had no choice but to worry, so he went to Zheng Zhe's previous regular I wandered around in several places, and finally knocked on the door of Zheng Zhe's hometown, only to see Zheng Zhe with a swollen face and red eyes.

Zheng Zhe had been out of the house for a long time, and he stood up with messy hair, and green stubble began to appear on his face.

Xiao Liang, who was looking straight at him with such a dignified face, felt sour in his heart, and forgot about the business, and ran here every few days to see him, trying to ask what was in his heart.

Zheng Zhe refused to speak, and Xiao Liang really didn't know why Zheng Zhe was sad, so he comforted him over and over again: "Lao Liu, what's wrong with you..."

"..."

"Don't be sad, the lyrics are good, he said that the pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away the tears and don't ask, why..." After finishing speaking, Xiao Liang laughed himself: "Hey, you see that I am so angry, I have to ask why, Lao Liu, what's the matter? I've been drinking with you for several days, you have to let me know why I drink this wine anyway?"

Zheng Zhe washed his face today, and he still looks a little energetic. His face recovered a little, and he looked at the small paper bag Xiao Liang brought over: "What are you?"

As if remembering it, Xiao Liang turned around and opened the paper bag. His sister-in-law came back from working in Fujian and brought back some local rice cakes. They were all ruddy cakes, filled with bean paste, and tasted a bit like Northeast bean buns. Like, but not as sour.

"Your sister-in-law's sister brought this back from outside. I specially brought it for you to taste..."

Zheng Zhe wanted to open it at first, but seeing the little red pancake now is still uncomfortable. He can't see the popularity or the apple cart now. He occasionally goes out to buy things and sees these two things and detours.

Xiao Liang saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket: "Old Six, Ai Jin is here to write a letter. It's very difficult for this guy to get along in the south. He said that he is not good at vocational high school here. Because the emphasis is on learning how to make jackets, the teacher in the vocational high school only taught how to sew the jackets flat, not to sew the cotton inside, but when I went to the south, I found that people didn’t wear jackets at all. Ai Jinbai learned a craft, and tailoring is not popular now. I can only slip my trousers in the mall, it's been hard..."

Zheng Zhe took Ai Jin's letter and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't recognize the number, so he stuffed it back into Xiao Liang's hand: "Why didn't he write it for me?"

Xiao Liang looked up at him, and sighed faintly: "Oh, he has the nerve to write it. If he is a good guy, he will show off to you. By the way, why don't you go out? Zhang Chunming is looking for you everywhere. I haven't seen you yet. Tell him about you at home, what's wrong? Did he mess with you?"

Zheng Zhe shook his head: "I don't want to do it with him anymore."

"Then why are you going?"

"Look for my dad, the main reason is that I don't want to mess around anymore. You see, most of the gangsters around me come out because they have no money, no influence, can't find a job, and they really have no other way. My family is not bad, and my father can Damn, why bother talking about this with them."

Xiao Liang was a little surprised: "You boy... you are about to give in."

"It's not a surrender, it's just that I figured it out. This road is not easy to walk, so let's take a different road." Zheng Zhe lowered his head to pick up the vegetables, his face expressionless: "I used to be stupid. I was against my family. I shouldn't do it." I have to do it, I have to do it, I have nothing to do, and I have suffered injuries. Now I think about it, I regret it. I used to be disobedient. Now I want to listen to the words of the adults in my family. After all, they are more mature than me. , the way pointed out to me must be better than what I figured out by myself."

Xiao Liang took the cigarette from his mouth, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I said you are so decadent that you don't even go out, so it's because of this, so don't belittle yourself, in fact, you are doing well, but If you don’t want to hang out, don’t hang out, big brother supports you and is optimistic about you, and our brothers are just waiting for you to make a difference.”

Zheng Zhe and Xiao Liang drank enough for two days. He found some time to talk to Zhang Chunming. Zhang Chunming was not very happy. He refused to do it to him, which made Zhang Chunming very embarrassed. He didn't want to agree, and he didn't want to break his face with Zheng Zhe.

Zheng Zhe knew how much he owed him, so he didn't say anything serious, he just said that in the future Brother Zhang would just tell him if he had something to do.

Zhang Chunming saw that he had made up his mind to go, so he could only sigh and put on a look of extreme regret: "Okay, Lao Liu, you don't need to say these things anymore, you don't give you face, but Brother Zhang will give you face." Face, you are the one brought out by me, just like my own brother, you can find another way out, I will give you money to go out and find a way out, come back if you can't get along, brother Zhang will always be your big brother, I The only requirement is that you don't cut off contact..."

Zhang Chunming is from an old society, and his words are smooth and beautiful. Zheng Zhe has seen a lot of him, and he knows that it is a scene, but he is still very grateful after hearing it. He pushed Zhang Chunming's thousands of dollars and returned the motorcycle. He packed up his things and left.

Zheng Dechang took Zheng Zhe to meet his comrades.

His comrade-in-arms went to sea very early. He resigned and went to Shenzhen in 92s. In 93, the "Comfortable Housing Project" was launched. He took advantage of the economic wave to absorb the first pot of gold and made a lot of money. This is not [-] years. The country's macro-control and the real estate bubble have receded, so he thought about going back to his hometown to open a factory and do some business. In fact, it was not a good decision to open a factory in the Northeast, but the man saw the interpersonal relationship here, because Zheng Dechang is the owner of a state-owned enterprise. Leader, the unit has needs, and Zheng Dechang also has the right to purchase in this area, so the two hit it off immediately, and immediately registered a small company, found a warehouse as a factory, and did purposeful production and processing. The things made by his own company are imported into the large state-owned enterprises he works for.

The daily operation of the company is carried out by his comrades-in-arms, and Zheng Dechang privately invests in shares, earns money, and can also solve the problem of his son's failure to do a proper job. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zheng Zhe just changed, from a hooligan with a knife to an office worker riding a bicycle. He was young and knew nothing, so it was very painful to learn at the beginning, but the most painful time is over. Now, no matter how difficult it is now, he doesn't think it is too difficult.

This is how a new life begins. The young man puts himself into it with enthusiasm. He is willing to endure hardships, shows loyalty, and is meticulous in his work, so basically there are no major troubles, and he learns things well. Dad, with the growth of age and experience, his brain seems to have suddenly opened up, and he has become smarter. Maybe it's just because he is proficient in this industry, but no matter what, Zheng Zhe is no longer the former Zheng Zhe Zhe, he started to really grow up.

He ran away from home at the age of 17, lived outside for two years, returned home at the age of 19, and went on the right path under the arrangement of his family. He began to mature and no longer looked like a boy dreaming, because he had dreamed, and I have woken up from a dream, and it is still very painful to wake up.

He hasn't thought about Gu Ming for a long time, he has no time to think, his mind is full of reality and work, there is no place to recall the past, his eyes are on the future, and the past is all left behind by him After that, he didn't even think about it.

It wasn't until one year when Xiao Liang started introducing him to girlfriends that he remembered that he had liked such a person before.

Zheng Zhe thought about Gu Ming seriously for a long time, and he found that he had even forgotten what Gu Ming looked like.
