60s Splendid Life

"I can't believe I'm so unlucky today! Brother, lend me some more money, and I'll definitely win back all the losses I lost, and I'll return you both the principal and the interest." At this time, Lu Jiankang was already red-eyed. In less time, he lost all the money he had won, his own money, and the money he borrowed from others, and he lost a hundred dollars.This time he wanted to make a comeback, so he borrowed another 50 yuan from his friend, and he borrowed 80 yuan together with the one he borrowed before. He wrote someone else an IOU for [-] yuan. Clearly, he also mortgaged his bicycle on it.

After taking the money, Lu Jiankang continued to return to the gambling table, and the bet lasted until midnight.

The young man who had been lending money to Lu Jiankang just now exchanged glances with the head of the dealership, and the eyes of the two separated as soon as they touched, so Lu Jiankang, who was gambling next to him, did not notice the small movements of others.

At this time, Lu Jiankang didn't know that once the word "gambling" was applied to people, they would not be able to get out easily. Anyone who gambled would only get deeper and deeper. He wanted to win other people's money, but in the end he couldn't win others I lost more money, but my own money lost more and more. After I lost my money, I started to borrow money from friends and casino dealers. The more I borrowed, the more I gambled, the more I lost. The more I carried, the more I ended up in debt and unable to pay back the money.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Lu Jiankang lost all the borrowed money and was about to leave with a dazed expression on his face, but was stopped by a few friends that he didn't let him go, did he realize that he had been tricked by someone else After staying up all night, his eyes were covered with red silk, looking at a few friends who kidnapped him to gamble, pointing at them and cursing: "It's you, you deliberately abducted me to gamble, and you deliberately lent me money to gamble!"

"What do you mean we deliberately abducted you to gamble? You obviously wanted to gamble, and you asked us to borrow the money yourself. I said no and you begged me. How did it become that I deliberately lent you money to gamble?" Lu Jiankang, you are too wronged by saying that." Wang Cai, the young man who had been lending money to Lu Jiankang for gambling, said with a look of injustice.

In fact, they and Lu Jiankang are not really friends. Wang Cai and the others only met Lu Jiankang at the beginning of December in the lunar calendar last year. At that time, they met Lu Jiankang through some of Lu Jiankang's classmates. Riding an almost new bicycle, wearing good clothes and spending a lot of money, knowing that he was in junior high school with other rich young masters in the town, at first Wang Cai thought that Lu Jiankang's family was a rich man. Yes, it was only later that I found out that his family was in the countryside, but maybe the family's conditions were not bad enough to afford a bicycle, so they quickly locked their target on Lu Jiankang.

In the beginning, Wang Cai and the others just called Lu Jiankang brothers and sisters, and invited Lu Jiankang out to eat and drink. Wang Cai took the initiative to pay the bill for the first two times, but Lu Jiankang is a person who cares about face, and every time he sees that someone else pays the bill, he rushes to pay the bill. The number of times Lu Jiankang pays the bill is more.

During the period at the beginning of the year, I knew that Lu Jiankang's money was tight, because two of the three times they went out to eat were paid by Wang Cai.After Wang Cai knew that Lu Jiankang was out of money, they began to talk about their gambling winnings intentionally or unintentionally. When Lu Jiankang heard that winning money was so easy, he immediately became interested, and followed Wang Cai to the casino to gamble. Yes, in the first few days, he won a few small wins every day, but he was so happy that he would come to find Wang Cai and the others to gamble here every day. Sometimes he would come by himself even if Wang Cai could not be found. Play a little here.

Until today, the few Wang Cai found out that the opportunity had come, and cooperated with the dealer of the casino to set up a trick for Lu Jiankang. After Lu Jiankang lost money, he kept lending money to Lu Jiankang, encouraging Lu Jiankang to continue gambling. I also went from ten yuan, 20 yuan to 80 yuan, and then received 80 yuan from 200 yuan. Adding up the zeros and zeros, I borrowed about [-] yuan. Except for the [-] yuan, I borrowed a few yuan from Wang Cai. One was borrowed, and most of them were borrowed from the owner of the casino, that is, the person behind the opening of the casino.

"You, you, you..." Lu Jiankang's tongue was not sharp enough, and he couldn't say that the other party wanted to leave after being told in this way.But at this time, he didn't pay back the money, and it was impossible for others to let him go.

The corner of Wang Cai's mouth twitched into a smile, and he flicked the IOU signed by Lu Jiankang in his hand, and said, "I think the bicycle outside you can still be used, so let's pay you 50 yuan. The 50 yuan IOU will be paid back to you first, and the bicycles outside will be left to us."

"Fuck your mother, I bought my bicycle for more than 300 yuan, and it has only been used for less than a year. You asked me to give you 50 yuan? Wang Cai, you bastard deliberately cheated me, and you also want to lie to my bicycle! Lu Jiankang seemed to have heard something from the Arabian Nights. He was angry and wanted to beat Wang Cai, but he was pressed down by two strong men in the casino, and he couldn't even get up, let alone rush to beat him.

"I only gave you 50 yuan because we are friends. If it's someone I don't know, 30 yuan would be too expensive for me." Wang Cai took out a 50 yuan IOU and returned it to Lu Jiankang.

Naturally, Lu Jiankang refused to pay 300 yuan for the bicycle bought for more than 50 yuan. Finally, with the "kind help" of the casino owner, Lu Jiankang's second-hand bicycle was worth 100 yuan, but he still owed it Wang Cai was worth dozens of dollars, and he still owed the casino more than 300 dollars.

After being beaten up and ordered to pay back the money within a month, Lu Jiankang was thrown out of the street.

Wang Cai and the others came out of the yard pushing their bicycles and looked at Lu Jiankang who was lying on the street. There was no look of pity on their faces.

Wang Cai squatted down beside Lu Jiankang, patted Lu Jiankang's face with his hands, and reminded: "Remember, you must return the money to me and Brother Zhao before today next month. I'm better off talking, let's Brother Zhao is not such a talkative person, you have seen those thugs in the yard just now."

"Don't try to hide in the countryside, we won't be able to find you, we know where your family lives, we can find you at any time, and you are at the school, if we go to your school, you will be killed by the school Expelled."

After leaving such words, Wang Cai left with a few bastards.

Lu Jiankang, who fell on the ground, hugged his head and cried. He waited until Wang Cai and the others rode their bicycles away, then he got up from the ground and ran staggeringly.

***

In the morning of this day, Lu Jin took their little Baoer and waited in the town for a while, and when Lu Enhua's tractor came out, they got on Lu Enhua's tractor, and he took out the hot pancakes from the back basket and gave them to each other , smiled and said: "Brother Enhua, have you had breakfast? These are pancakes I baked myself, you can eat one to fill your stomach."

It happened that Lu Enhua was going to the town to buy seeds for the team, so they agreed to wait for each other at the gate of the town on this day.

"You don't have to bring me food all the time, I just came out of the house after breakfast." Looking at the pancakes that were handed to him, under the smiling face of the young man, Lu Enhua swallowed the words that he wanted to refuse. , as long as you take the pancakes from Lu Jin, don't forget to say before eating, "Remember not to bring me food next time."

After getting acquainted with Lu Enhua, every time Lu Jin came to the town, he would say hello to Lu Enhua in advance. He found that this young man who looked cold and quiet was actually a very easy-going and talkative person, because every time As long as he greets the other party, the other party will try to adjust the time to buy things in the town on behalf of the team with the time when they go to the town. Wait for them here at the gate of the town when you go back.

It's almost spring at this time, and the spring plowing in the team will start soon. Lu Enhua will be busy buying all kinds of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides for the team in the next year, and will go to the town several times a month. To him Speaking of it, it was just an incidental thing to take the Lu Jin brothers back and forth to the town. As long as the time can be arranged, he doesn't mind taking the Lu Jin brothers there.

"If you come out so early, the food you ate must be gone. Every time you drive us back and forth, you haven't collected my fare. Why can't I treat you to a pancake?" Lu Jin said Then, he also took out a water glass from the back basket, opened it for Lu Enhua to drink, "Brother Enhua, don't be in such a hurry, we are not in such a hurry to go back for a minute or two, don't choke, drink up. "

After getting acquainted with Lu Enhua, little Bao'er was no longer afraid of this cold-faced big brother. When the other party was eating, he would stare straight at this big brother eating.But when his elder brother asked him if he wanted pancakes, he patted his stomach and said, "Yes."

"It's not urgent, I'm used to it." Don't tell me, Lu Enhua choked on the pancakes because he ate too fast. After Lu Jin handed over the bottle, he subconsciously took it and took a sip before realizing what was in it. Not boiling water, but...milk?

A fishy smell of milk rushed into his mouth, and Lu Enhua felt like throwing up, so he had to swallow it in one gulp.

"How about it, can you still get used to it?" Lu Jin said with a smile on his face: "This is for you to drink, Brother Enhua, you drink it up, don't waste it. I went to the milk station to make fresh milk in the morning. It should taste good after coming back home, Xiao Baoer drank two big bowls this morning." He touched the obedient cub in his arms as he spoke.

"...It's okay." Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Lu Enhua had no choice but to drink up all the milk in the bottle. After drinking, the fishy smell could not go away. After returning the bottle to Lu Jin, he hurried He ran away with the tractor, as if he was afraid that Lu Jin would pull out some strange food for him to eat again.

Compared with the two brothers Lu Jin and Xiao Baoer who sat back with a tractor.

Lu Jiankang who came out at the back was a bit miserable. He used to ride a bicycle back and forth between the village and the town, but this time he lost his bicycle and was beaten up until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. The mud print looks like a homeless man, so he tried to stop a car to take him for a ride along the way, but no one would bother him, so he could only walk from the town back to Lujiacun on two legs .
