all things

The pick-up time that night was a little earlier than expected. The last few trips were medium and long-distance in the urban area. They ran from the central ferry port to the east train station, and then went straight to the west passenger station. In just two or three hours, I almost toured the entire city of Tucheng.

Motorcycles are not like taxis, there is no unified market regulation and management, and young people feel ashamed of the hard work of eating, drinking, and showing their faces, so most of the drivers are unskilled and forced to go out to do work for a living Middle-aged market reckless men with low education level, often speeding through traffic lights in order to catch those few seconds and 3 minutes and causing traffic accidents, and also fighting for customers, their safety performance is extremely insecure, so It was the first group to bear the brunt of the clean-up operation by the transportation management department, but the advantage is that the fare is cheap and flexible, and many ordinary people in the city are willing to take it when they are in a hurry—even if the audience is limited to the lower class of society.

On the way, you can occasionally meet some passengers who like to talk to the driver and read a few words. There are all kinds of sorrows and sorrows in the world. Walking on the big black shark cushion that is [-] wide and [-] feet long seems to be like walking on stage. It’s like having an audience: the uncle who catches the last bus back to his hometown is talking about how many pigs his family has raised this year, and finally his son’s college tuition has been settled. The factory girl who is about his age left home early to work, but is worried about the unsatisfactory performance of the factory...

Look, so many people in this city are working hard day and night for three meals and enough food and clothing.

He wanted to send a text message after picking up the car, and ran home to take a shower and change his dirty clothes. When he came downstairs to Yu’s house, no one was there. He pressed the dial button to make a call. The reaction was quick, and he pressed it off as soon as it was connected. Not long after, there was a sound of "dumping" slippers from inside the anti-theft door, and the boy in white T-shorts quickly appeared in sight.

While thinking, he stood outside the security door and waited for him.

The artificial light cast a hazy yellow halo on the passage, and the figure of the other party hadn't fully appeared from the dark corridor, so while thinking about it, he could hear the eagerness from the hurried steps.

For some reason, his whole heart rose up in an instant, and then fell heavily. The blood pumped chaotically in the cardiovascular system. He unconsciously pressed on his chest, fearing that the disobedient heart would be in the next second. They are about to jump out and run towards each other.

In the next second, the figure who couldn't wait pushed the door out. When he saw it and thought about it, he pushed a smile into his eyes without restraint. The bright smile dyed the moist and black eyes bright The tones are like a brilliant galaxy that shatters the winter night.

"It's so early tonight!"

That figure rushed out like a cannonball, with no sign of slowing down at all. He rushed straight to the side and wanted to rush straight. The air rolled with a mint-like cool air, and he wanted to reach out to stop it. There was an astonishing momentum, and he was forced to take a step back by inertia. After he stabilized the figures of the two, he lightly reprimanded: "Will you walk well?"

Yu Jinle shrank her neck, without the slightest sign of remorse, "Isn't that afraid that you'll wait too long!"

While wanting to pat him on the head, the soft hair felt a little prickly after being cut short, "That's how An'an and Xiaoyao were spoiled by you - cut their hair?"

When I saw him in the afternoon, the bangs were still long enough to be pushed back.

"No less next week, the pusher is waiting for me." Yu Jinle was unyielding, "——you are wrong, why did I spoil An'an Xiaoyao? Didn't I rush downstairs to see you? You!"

The two walked out of the community together.

"Still sophistry!" Bian Zhenhua was born in the army, and his orders and prohibitions were accurate to the millisecond. He thought that he had followed his father since he was a child, and he was well-informed, and he was absolutely remarkable in punctuality. I sent a text message, and it took 10 minutes to talk for 10 minutes, and my ink marks have been reasonable for a long time?"

Yu Jinle rolled his eyes, "It just so happened that Lu Jing was telling me something."

"He just has a lot of shit." It's approaching eleven o'clock at night, and the stalls near their house are doing a lot of business. The sausage rolls, night porridge, kway noodle soup, stir-fried wild game are all complete, all of which are the characteristics of the city. Foreigners who are newcomers and long-term patrons The local diners come here one after another. The taste in Guangdong Province is light and not spicy. I looked around and asked, "What do you eat?"

The two circled around the street, Yu Jinle also lacked interest, "Go to the back door of the school."

There are many barbecue stalls over there, and most young people like to go there.

The 10-minute straight-line journey is not in a hurry, so just walk slowly.

"Lu Jing said that Cheng Shuo didn't have to rest this summer, and he would go to the provincial capital non-stop to attend some kind of Math Olympiad summer camp as soon as the vacation was over, and he wanted to follow him secretly—"

He thought about laughing, "Can he follow? The places Cheng Shuo is going to are not something that a young master can follow with money."

The world of Xueba is too far away, Yu Jinle doesn't understand, "Why?"

Thinking of crossing his arms over his shoulders and hanging them on his shoulders, he pinched his earlobe, "Stupid or not? Cheng Shuo was sent for the college entrance examination! Lu Jing is a young master, I have never had any worries He doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and the family doesn’t expect him to pass the exam with a B, a big Q, and come to honor his ancestors, how could he be so crowded?”

"He chose the subject of the college entrance examination." Yu Jinle's ears were itchy from being pinched, and he shrunk his neck to avoid thinking about the mischievous hand. "He filled in the history on the analog form-hey, don't scratch me!"

Thinking about it, she finally pinched Yu Jinle's red earlobe before letting him go.

Young Master Lu is the real Young Master Lu, with a wealthy family and a good education. Not only did Bach, Haydn and Schubert come in handy, but he also dabbled in Chinese painting and oil painting.Art always pursues the perfection of frankness and publicity, and the Lu family has the money, so they pamper him exclusively. If Lu Jing hadn't insisted, he should have flown across the ocean to his own art palace to cultivate his Er Er Puss up. 【Note】

"Cheng Shuo is different from him. The college entrance examination is his only way out. If he is given such a precious opportunity, he will have to fight for it no matter what."

It is said that Lu Jing is a good-for-nothing, coquettish and hypocritical, who relies on Cheng Shuo to take care of everything, but where is it?People have drivers when they go out, cooks when they eat, and cleaning companies that provide professional cleaning services when cleaning the house. Do you think he can’t ride a bicycle or boil water?It's just that you never need to know these things!He freed up all his time and thoughts, the economy and environment allow him to be self-willed, as long as he chooses what he wants to do, it's just that there is that person in his heart again, so he gives birth to some deliberately dependent coquettishness Just thinking.

"In short—" he was thinking of coming to a conclusion, "Don't think that Cheng Shuo's grades beat Lu Jing ten streets, but in fact, it was because he had no other choice that he had to fight hard, and there was only one way left. Let him barely try to keep up with Lu Jing."

Yu Jinle sighed, "Life is never fair."

If it weren't for the medium of school, their future lives would not have much intersection at all.

"Who says it's not." Thinking about it in the past, how could he express such emotion? Under the shadow of his father, his seemingly open-minded youthful spirit was actually conceited and arrogant, and he once thought that he had left him. Dad's shelter can fly high on its own.He manages well in his "relationship circle", and uses all kinds of false pretense to cover up himself and satisfy his vanity - he thinks that he is different from those second-generation ancestors, that he is "successful" Yes, at least he is "capable".

Until reality gave him a hammer, smashing the innocence in his mind.After exhausting his energy and time to go out to earn a living, in the end it was too late for the basic pocket money his father gave him with a big wave of his hand.

The headlights of the car flew by and caught my eyes, and then I wanted to hear Yu Jinle say, "It's probably because I have no ambitions, I always feel that if I can find someone who is in step with me, I will live by my side , it is great luck."

While thinking about it, all kinds of thoughts slapped on the bank of the Xinhe River, the tide went up and down again, and there was something in my heart, and after some hesitation, I still didn't express my position.

Arriving at the food street at the back door of Dizhong, Yu Jinle pointed to a teppanyaki restaurant on the street, and said in a loud voice, "Eat this, I just got paid for the manuscript today, this is mine."

The teppanyaki stall occupies a small area in front of the store on the sidewalk, and a dozen small tables are temporarily set up. Those tables are very short. When two big boys sat down, their legs were so bent that they almost pushed the table against their knees. on.

Thinking not to be picky about what to eat, Yu Jinle took a plastic plate and went to choose skewers.

The surrounding environment of the roadside stall is touching: the surface of the table is covered with a thick layer of greasy, the free paper towels are all inferior yellowed rough rolls, the kind of toilet paper that I don’t use at home, I want to tear it up The large pieces were wrapped into a ball and rubbed vigorously on the table. After rubbing, they couldn’t find the trash can and had to pile them up on the corner of the table temporarily; the disposable chopsticks were in the plastic chopstick case. He broke off three pairs in a row before finally breaking out a complete pair of two. root, holding one in each hand and rubbing it quickly several times, rubbing off the broken bamboo thorns attached to it.

He handed the rubbed chopsticks to Yu Jinle, then took another pair and repeated the previous operation.

Yu Jinle rubbed his eyes and came back to sit down. He had been staying up late lately, his eyes were bloodshot, thinking that the chopsticks in his hand were about to poke the tip of his nose, pointing at him and asking, "What's going on with you recently?"

"Huh?" The eyes that had been rubbed just now were red, as if they had just cried, but the master didn't notice it, and said indifferently, "It's nothing, isn't this the end of term?"

"Come on!" Wiping the redness at the end of his eyes while trying not to fall for his tricks, "You can fool your mother and me?"

Yu Jinle swayed from side to side, knocking on the edge of the table with his chopsticks and refused to respond positively. Thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, he grabbed his chopsticks and nodded to his forehead, "It's so dirty—I know that the term is over now, so I can't go back Squeeze it?"

Although Yu's family's economic situation is far worse than that of Lu's family, and they can't afford all kinds of extravagant consumption, and they can even save money on haircuts and flowers for their children, but at least there is no problem with general daily consumption. Yu's father and mother are like the parents of most ordinary families, they only want their children to concentrate on studying, and Yu Jinle earns this money, and the winter and summer vacations are enough. Now that he is facing the end of his senior year in high school, he still has to hide it from his family. Be strict, otherwise, because of my mother's temper, she must explode.

Thinking about trying to persuade him not to earn pocket money in a hurry, but he swallowed the words, and lit a cigarette instead, hiding his sigh in the smog.

He knows the importance of money better than anyone else.

The meat skewers were served on the table, covered with a thick layer of chili noodles, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he wanted to see it. This kind of revenge on the society can be seen at a glance. It’s a child who was strictly controlled at home and didn’t eat spicy food, so he went out to have fun No wonder I specifically told him not to pack it up tonight.

"I'm going to buy a drink."

A red BMW530 slowly turned in from the intersection.

Although this snack street, which is only open at night, is not as fishy as the [-]th District, the price of consumption and business hours determine that the crowds will inevitably be unreliable. The whole street is in full swing, and diners’ motorcycles are parked in a mess, taking up another floor. Drivers who are a little familiar with the road conditions generally don’t choose to come swaggeringly at this time of day.

Thinking about going back after shopping, there was a screeching sound of brakes behind him, and the tires rubbed against the road. Someone yelled "I've hit someone", and then I saw the crowd rushing towards him. He headed in the same direction—even though he had no intention of joining in the fun, he was somehow pushed back by the crowd.

While thinking: "..."

Excited like this, what if you have money to pick it up?

Going against the crowd and returning to the booth, Yu Jinle, a foodie, really had no other distractions, and was seriously gnawing on a bunch of pheasant meat in his mouth. His thin lips were so greasy and rosy from the heat, which was particularly eye-catching.

While trying to unscrew the iced black tea and pass it over, Yu Jinle took it and poured it directly, and the height of the bottle dropped by a third.

The pheasant chicken skewers costing fifty cents a piece had a suspicious pink surface, and he wanted to point to the skewers and say, "I heard that rat meat is pink."

Yu Jinle kicked her without raising her head, "You're the only one with a mouth, and you can keep talking all day long!"

The fun of squatting at a roadside stall is ruined by this kind of person!

While thinking about it, he laughed, and then sat down and took a bunch.

Yu Jinle is not hungry, she just came out to herd sheep to satisfy her cravings. On weekdays, Yu's mother is especially strict about her diet. When she just found out that the three of them are addicted to spicy food, they feel like they are facing an enemy. He looked like he had learned badly outside, so that every time Yu Jinle wanted to eat something spicy, he had to run out and eat it secretly.The two of them didn't make much noise about this supper, they just spent more than half an hour eating and chatting habitually.

Walking back after eating, the crowd hadn't completely dispersed, and the road they had to pass was tied up in a deadlock. Yu Jinle wondered, "How big a car accident can we make at this speed?"

They don't know if it's big or not, but relying on their height and long legs, they have seen a scene of mischief.

Putting aside the crowd, the center of the accident is naturally the two parties involved in the accident—the owner of the car is a woman in her 30s, with light makeup and light makeup that can be seen under the dim street lights, her hair is neatly tied up, and she is wearing a light yellow dress. The chiffon floral dress made her look more graceful and graceful, and she looked very decent; the other party was much more vulgar, with a loose yellow vest and a pair of deformed flip-flops on her feet. The mottled and foul-smelling marks were printed on the sewage pulled, and they were desperately scraping on the front hood of the car.

Although the man looked thin and bony and couldn't stand upright, he obviously had good legs and feet, and he might not be able to get rid of the strength of pulling the car easily.

At the same time, he thought of casually patting the shoulders of those who watched the excitement in front of him and asked, "What's the big deal that took so long?"

He just saw that man clinging to the front of the car with a stern face, how could he have such momentum?

The man had been watching here for a long time, and he said the whole thing like pouring beans: "That woman's BMW rubbed against someone, and she didn't run away. She got out of the car and was willing to pay for it or send it to the hospital. It's that Li. The third child is not a thing, seeing a woman and acting like a fool, wouldn't she be blackmailed immediately!"

"Everyone says that you will still be blackmailed if you pay?" Yu Jinle was shocked, "That woman didn't call for help?"

This woman has been tortured here for a long time by a rascal, and she didn't call her family or call the police. She looks like a well-educated gentleman, and the license plate number is also local. How big is the city?If something happens, can't the family members come out and deal with it?

Li Laosan probably also realized this, so he was even more unscrupulous.

Then I heard the woman say, "Don't be like this, you already said I lost money, you get up first!"

"Ouch!" The other party covered his arms like a showman, "I can't get up! My leg is broken! I'm disabled!"

Even if the two of them arrived less than a minute ago, they couldn't stand it any longer. The scoundrel clasped his arm and cried out that his leg hurts, playing him for a fool, but the woman was weak and had no way to argue.

Li Laosan held on to the car mirror and screamed, "I don't care! My leg is useless! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child in my family, and a seriously ill woman who needs to be raised. You can kill me with this collision." Our old Li's family was smashed apart!"

The woman's face turned pale.

Li Laosan glanced at her, saw her with a look of confusion, turned around and hammered on the hood of the car and patted, "The rich are bullying others! You want to run away after bumping into someone! Do you think you can get it done with money! At home But it’s waiting for me to pray in the dark! Ouch—”

People around sneered, and the woman couldn't hear it clearly, but thinking about it, they listened to every word, "He's ashamed to support his family as soon as he's idle! His wife works as a nurse in the hospital, and that's why he's exhausted from getting up early in the dark." Tiring work! He is good, his mouth grows on his own face, and he bites on the fat when he sees it!"

You can give such a detailed introduction of the characters with just one mouth, it can be seen that Li Laosan is not a face here, but no one in the crowd of onlookers went up to help out, because he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he just surrounded him and watched It's lively.

Some people are like this. When they are unhappy, they wish that the whole world will suffer like him or even worse than him. It seems that only in this way can they be satisfied; His heart is distorted, he complains about the injustice of the world, and feels that the whole world owes him, but he never introspects that most of the troubles are due to his own good taste, laziness and inaction.

At this moment, the rear door quietly opened a gap, Yu Jinle pushed it lightly and thought, "Look at that!"

It turned out that the woman didn't drive out alone, there was a child about three or four years old in the back seat, who probably fell asleep just now, but was woken up by the noise outside, struggling to get out of the car with her short legs Outside, the little foot stepped on the gap in the car door.

The front is still arguing endlessly, few people noticed the back door of the car, the woman is dressed in glamor and drives a famous car, she looks like a sheep caught in a pack of wolves, more than half an hour has passed, she still can't see that this man is clearly not willing to take it easy Let her go?

The owner of the car didn't answer the call, was entangled by hooligans, and couldn't communicate at all. After thinking for a while, as if she had made up her mind, she put the fan behind her ear, took a deep breath, took out her mobile phone and said, "You are a scammer. Money! I'm going to call the police!"

Li Laosan saw that the situation was not good, and moved faster than her. He reached out to grab her mobile phone to prevent the alarm. The woman was frightened, and she pushed him away with a hand. She took a step back, and the crowd behind followed her back a few steps. , Another uproar.

The woman waved her hands to protect herself, and she was wearing high heels on her feet. The push was useless at all, but the opponent was a shameless one who couldn't stand it. Li Laosan followed the momentum and rolled on the ground, regardless The foul-smelling sewage beneath him wailed: "Hit someone! Hit someone! Rich people bully others, hit them and beat them if they want to run away!"

The woman probably has never seen such a brazen person in her entire life. The more trouble Li Laosan made, the more panicked she became, and the more she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She opened her wallet and hurriedly took out a few red bills, squatting halfway. I stuffed it into Li Laosan's arms, "I will pay you, I will pay you! Get up quickly!"

Li Laosan held down the money stuffed into his arms, but he couldn't get up, and raised his hand to grab it. The woman couldn't dodge for a while, and was pulled by the corner of her skirt.

"You pushed me! I broke my hand too! How can I pay for this!"

The woman was angry, but the skirt was pulled, and she couldn't move forward or retreat. The onlookers talked a lot, but no one stepped forward to help out.

The rear door was finally pushed open, and a childish voice came from inside, "Mommy!"

"Xiao Kun!"

Li Laosan was lying on the ground, the car door opened right on top of him, and before his short legs landed, he fell into Li Laosan's arms first. The rich and noble family had a spoiled child in their mouth, and it was as lovely as a white jade dumpling. , Li Laosan grabbed the child's white and tender short legs, and cursed endlessly, "Stinky woman, I am happy that the medical expenses and mental damage are not compensated today, so I don't even think about leaving!"

The sour smell hit, and the unrestrained force pulled the child down as soon as he went out. He was startled, kicked and pushed, unable to break free, and burst into tears. Women can't be too scruples right now. Too many, he threw his wallet and mobile phone on Li Laosan, and rushed to grab the child. Li Laosan saw that the child was a woman's weakness, so he dragged his body and got stuck under the car door and refused to let it go easily.

"Hey!" Suddenly, the boy's clear voice came from above his head, "This is too much!"

Immediately afterwards, the child was carried out under the armpit by a pair of slender hands with obvious knuckles. In the next second, the woman felt that the force on her skirt loosened, and her whole body regained her freedom. She stood up quickly, but Unexpectedly, his foot softened and he almost fell forward.

"Mummy!"

The teenager who was holding the child helped her at the right time, and returned the child to her after she stood still. She hugged the child tightly and kept bowing to express her thanks, both shocked and frightened.

At this time, Li Laosan cried out in pain from the other end. She looked back, only to realize that another tall boy dragged Li Laosan out from under the car door by his ankle. Cursing incessantly, he rolled on the ground, finally the tall boy couldn't help but grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up like a chicken. Li Laosan stood still and swung his fists to punch him forward. He was a man, but his wrist was only pinched lightly by the young man and he couldn't move it.

The lights of the food stalls along the street came from behind the young man, and his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the boy as tall as a mountain. If you live, you generally dare not move.

Seeing the bastard who could roll to the ground just now with a light shake of the woman's hand, he was fighting under the gaze of the young man. Now that his wrist was pinched, it was really painful like a severed arm. He wailed, but the young man Turn a blind eye, not the slightest bit of strength.

The woman hugged her son tightly, still in shock, Yu Jinle stepped forward to separate the scene, turned her head and said softly, "Take the child to the car first."

It wasn't until the car was unlocked that the woman realized clearly that the two strange boys had helped her out.

Li Laosan is a typical liar and fears hard things, and he only dared to pinch soft persimmons when he sneaked and abducted. At this moment, he didn't know what the tall boy said while grabbing him, but he turned pale when he saw him trembling. , It didn't take long to get out of the crowd and disappear.

There was a knock on the car window, and she glanced anxiously, and saw that it was the two teenagers, but she was startled just now, so she only lowered the window a crack, and looked out from the crack.

The boy who saved her son didn't say anything, and stuffed two things in through the window. They were the wallet and mobile phone that she threw on Li Laosan just now in a hurry.

The young man smiled with crooked eyebrows, clean and delicate, and dispelled the woman's guard. He said, "The road here is not easy to drive at night, so next time we will take a detour!"

The child was still huddled in the woman's arms and sobbing. Hearing this, he raised his head and followed to look out the car window, his fists still clenched nervously, thinking that Yu Jinle stretched his neck behind him to look, and his eyes met the child's. For some reason, he made a grimace out of embarrassment. The child seemed to be taken aback, and was stunned for a while, and stopped crying, but then hiccupped again.

Yu Jinle and the woman were both stunned by the clear and distinct "Ah" in the car.

The child plunged into his mother's arms, showing a pair of bright eyes and looking out, staring closely, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Okay, stop teasing!" Yu Jinle hurriedly grabbed a certain older childish ghost and backed away, "Do you want to scare the child one more time?"

So the two sides waved goodbye to each other.

The two walked like Lei Feng for a while, thinking about it on the way home, they still didn't forget to stroke their chins thoughtfully, "Why do I think that kid looks familiar?"

The author has something to say:
