Show one's ugliness

Although the development of Xibin District is backward, the overall planning is very neat, especially the terrain of Changqing, which is like a coordinate quadrant.

The broad Xibin Road is the X-axis, and the long Xuefu Street is the Y-axis.The Teachers College is in the first quadrant, and this third-rate university has indeed driven a lot of nearby development.

Before graduating, Ji Cen told his roommates that it would be good to start a small business near the school after graduation. Those boys also thought it would be okay, but he was the only one who was practical.

Ji Cen did not take the usual path. When everyone was busy with internships and looking for jobs and confused about the future, he decided to buy Wynn.For this matter, his uncle took out all his savings. Although it was not much, Ji Cen was moved by his impassioned attitude that he would give anything for his nephew.

That was the last time his uncle gave him money, and now Ji Cen sends money to his uncle every month.

Ji Cen drove his second-hand silver POLO into Yangnan's Hardware Street and went straight to a glass shop he was familiar with.

He successfully ordered the size of the glass and added the shipping fee for immediate door-to-door installation.

Seeing that Ji Cen came to take care of his business again, the boss handed him a cigarette and chatted for a while.

Ji Cen didn't smoke that cigarette, so he pinned it to his ear.After leaving the glass shop, he gave up driving and decided to take the short cut from the farmers market to his uncle's on foot.

Xibin is composed of Evergreen and Yangnan.

Yangnan is even more dilapidated than Changqing, housing prices are cheap and rents are cheap, and there are many migrant workers living there.

It is not far from Wynn, only a little over ten minutes by car.The overall environment of Yangnan is extremely inconsistent with the surrounding area, and it seems to be still in the same state as it was more than ten years ago.

In recent years, with the development of the economy, the renovation of the old city area has made a lot of special articles.All around Yangnan has been demolished, but no developer has been able to successfully win Yangnan.Rumors say that the government did not approve, but no one knows the specific reason.

When it comes to Yangnan, many people jokingly say that the people who live here are on the road to riches.Just wait for the day when the government let go, the high price can be demolished here.

Of course, before demolition, this place is still a backward area.

While passing through the alley with small advertisements posted everywhere, Ji Cen saw a woman applying glue to the wall.The rubber bucket almost fell over, so he quickly helped him up.

"Thank you." The woman glanced at Ji Cen.

Ji Cen nodded and prepared to pass by.The woman grabbed Ji Cen's arm, pointed to the paper in her hand and asked, "Have you seen my daughter?"

Ji Cen looked down and shook his head, he could hear the woman's sigh trembling and heavy when he walked away.

The farmer's market in Yangnan seems to be crowded at any time. In such an evening, there are many adults shopping for vegetables and children who have not returned home after school.

Hearing that a child fell into the water on the arch bridge of the Cangji River, people immediately gathered people to stop and watch.

The Cangji River passes through the farmer's market, and it is not properly treated in time, and garbage is often floating around.Although the river water in this season has been unsealed, it is icy and cold, and no one wants to jump into it.

The child must have fallen into it accidentally with his playmates. He was obviously frightened, and kept crying while thrashing. The red scarf floated on the water, and was pressed into the water with his arms.His struggle made him start to get farther and farther away from the bridge and the shore.

There were at least 40 to [-] people onlookers, including men, women, old and young, and there were many strong young people, but none of them were willing to hunt for people. They seemed to be waiting for someone to leave before they did.

Qi Heng, who was walking under the bridge, was listening to music while walking, his wide sweater hat blocked his peripheral vision, and the people accumulated on the bridge blocked his way, he took off his earphones and turned his head to follow everyone's gaze.

Knowing the situation, he didn't have time to think about it, and pushed hard to push away the crowd and squeeze to the front.He tore off the earphones while walking, and then pulled out the mobile phone from his pocket and threw it on the ground.Immediately afterwards, he jumped off the bridge neatly while supporting the broken metal bridge railing in a burst of exclamation.

At this time, the people standing on the bridge began to unite as one.While cheering, he told the young man who went into the water to be careful.

Qi Heng, who had no time to take off his clothes, endured the bone-chilling water temperature and swam to the side of the little boy as fast as he could, grabbing the boy and trying to lift him up.

From a long distance, Ji Cen saw many people standing on the Cangji Bridge, and everyone was looking at the young man in the river who was rescuing a child who fell into the water.

The young man was in his early twenties, with black and short hair.I don't know if it's because the river is too icy and his face is too pale.

Just looking at it, Ji Cen felt cold to the bone.It's really amazing to be selfless when everyone is blind.

There are still many good people in this world.That's what he thought as he wrapped his coat tightly and left.

The little boy was still crying, causing Qi Heng a headache.He held the child with one arm and swam towards the shore.Thanks to the help of the two elder brothers, he and the child returned to the shore safely.

"Young man, good job!" a big sister shouted.

With this shout, there was applause.Qi Heng turned a blind eye, he first found his mobile phone, and then squeezed out with the same expressionless expression as when he squeezed in.The water in his trousers left clear footprints with every step he took.

The little boy shouted from behind in shock, "Thank you uncle!"

Qi Heng was uncomfortable hearing the word "uncle". He felt that if he changed to "brother", he would probably turn around and reply.

The crowd began to disperse, and someone's eyes were still on the back of Qi Heng who was walking away: "This young man seems to be a soldier."

Another person said: "It looks like the temperament and figure are indeed similar, and they are upright."

"Soldiers are different. They never care about their own safety at critical times."

At this time, an aunt with a vegetable basket took the call: "What a soldier! That's the son of the old Qi's family in our community. He was just released two days ago."

"What do you mean just released?"

"It was released from the prison," the aunt said, "he has a life on his back."

The two people who expressed their praise just now stopped immediately.

It took five minutes for Qi Heng to return home drenched, not to mention how many people looked sideways along the way.He surprised Mom when he entered the door.

Qiao Aiqing came out of the kitchen wearing an apron: "How did you do this?"

Qi Heng carried the shoes he had taken off into the house, and walked straight to the bathroom: "It fell into the river."

"Did you fall into the river?" Qiao Aiqing stopped his son when he remembered something, "Is there no more fighting?"

Qi Heng avoided Qiao Aiqing's hand and continued walking: "No."

Qiao Aiqing: "You go and wash it first, and help mom bring that fish out after washing."

When Qi Heng stepped into the bathroom, he saw a big carp in the basin next to the floor drain, and when he saw the figure, he splashed out a small puddle of water.He yelled and asked, "Is Xiao Mingjun coming to eat again?"

Qiao Aiqing also yelled back: "Don't be rude, call me Uncle Xiao!"

Qi Heng sighed, quickly took off the wet clothes wrapped around his body and threw them all into the laundry basket.

Ji Cen can always find Xiao Mingjun at a glance in the smoky chess room.He dodged the shouting children and crowds of onlookers and strode past.

Xiao Mingjun was squinting his eyes and looking at his cards, when he saw Ji Cen approaching, he took an exaggerated sitting posture for a moment.After the cards in his hand were played out, the person on the opposite side played the cards. He took the opportunity to get up and said, "I won't play anymore."

The most popular one at the mahjong table is Xiao Mingjun, who often has bad hands. Seeing that he wants to leave, the other three sitting at the same table are not very satisfied.Xiao Mingjun smiled and said, "My nephew is here."

Those who often play cards together know that Xiao Mingjun has a nephew, and he is very afraid of this nephew. Hearing this, no one dares to keep him.

With a smile, Ji Cen hurriedly greeted this aunt and that uncle, and took his uncle out.

"How many times have I said that if you keep losing, then don't worry about playing," Ji Cen scolded, "Is it that big of an addiction?"

Although Xiao Mingjun is an elder, he was said by Ji Cen to be like his third grandson: "Next time I will play again in a few days."

"You've said that 180 fucking times."

"Xiao Cen, your voice...does you have a cold? Have you taken your medicine?"

Ji Cen sniffed: "No need to eat, it's fine."

After walking for less than 2 minutes, I arrived at Xiao Mingjun's house.After entering the house, Ji Cen took out the roll of money in his trouser pocket and threw it to Xiao Mingjun: "If you run out of money before the end of the month, then you will be hungry."

Xiao Mingjun always saw Qian's relatives. He touched the money and twisted it with his fingers, grinning.

Ji Cen sat on the old leather sofa, took off the cigarette pinned to his ear, and put it in his mouth. Before he could reach for the lighter, Xiao Mingjun handed it to him: "Xiao Cen, how much spare money do you have?" ?”

Ji Cen lit a cigarette, "Why are you asking?"

Xiao Mingjun rubbed his hands like a fly: "You give uncle some more, I'll borrow it."

"How much?" Ji Cen raised his eyes.

"1 yuan."

"What is it for?"

Xiao Mingjun said boldly, "I have a friend..."

Once it was this kind of opening remarks, Ji Cen didn't want to listen to it.His uncle's group of friends are also old and dishonest.When he was young, his uncle would hang out with them, and his trousers could barely fit, and when he was old, he still hung out with them.His uncle also has no memory. He believes everything he says, and he has been deceived many times.

"It is said that the fund is very reliable..."

"Come on, you'd better spend the money. Don't worry about making money. Besides, I don't have any money. I use the monthly savings to pay off the debt. Don't go out to borrow money. Do you hear that if you really get into trouble? , I don't care about you."

Xiao Mingjun smirked: "Xiao Cen will not ignore me."

Ji Cen stared: "See if I can."

Ji Cen planned to leave: "Will you go back with me on Qingming Festival?"

Xiao Mingjun: "Go back."

"Then I'll come pick you up then."

"Let me go to your place, and I haven't been there for a long time."

Ji Cen pointedly pointed out: "If you want to steal the account, you will give up."

Xiao Mingjun shrank his neck when his thoughts were exposed, and seeing Ji Cen was about to leave, he said again: "Did you not eat tonight?"

"What time is it?" Ji Cen looked at the time, "I'll eat when I go back."

"Then you and uncle go to your aunt Qiao's for dinner."

Ji Cen said weakly: "Here again."

Xiao Mingjun smiled and said, "She cooked delicious food tonight, and you didn't eat it, so you're here. Come with me."

Aunt Qiao is his uncle's best friend, and they have been friends for more than two years.In order to raise him better, his uncle missed the best age for starting a family.I'm 43 this year, and I'm still a bachelor.

Of course Ji Cen hopes that his uncle can start a family by himself.After learning that his uncle was in a relationship, he had inquired carefully about Qiao Aiqing's situation.

Widowed, has a son.What dissatisfied Ji Cen was her son.

Qiao Aiqing's son killed someone a few years ago and was imprisoned.It was originally five years, but because of its good performance, it came out two days ahead of schedule.

Aunt Qiao is good, but the bad thing is that her son is not worried.If he really formed a new family with his uncle, there would definitely be troubles in the future.Before, he always talked about the naughty son who hadn't been released, but he didn't expect that his uncle and Aunt Qiao really stood up until he was released.

Ji Cen took a puff of cigarette: "Is this meal a must?"

"It's all about the family, so we have to get to know each other," Xiao Mingjun said while watching Ji Cen's expression getting worse and worse, and the words became more and more difficult, "In the future, you will be regarded as having an extra brother... "

"Pull it down," Ji Cen refused, "I don't need it."

Xiao Mingjun continued to discuss: "You see, it's rare for uncle to meet someone he likes so much in so many years. He loves the house and loves Wu, doesn't he? Besides, I saw that child, it's very good..."

Ji Cen raised his voice: "It's good to be able to go in? Let me tell you, Xiao Mingjun, don't drink too much ecstasy soup there and you won't be able to tell good from bad. Then you will be stabbed and you will stop."

"It's not that serious, the child has reformed himself."

"Reform?" Ji Cen looked extremely cold, looked at his uncle and said slowly, "There are some mistakes, and you can't make them at all. Have you forgotten about my parents? Did you wait until the end of the year for Ma Changfeng's old bastard?" Released, you also believe that he has reformed himself?"

Xiao Mingjun was speechless when asked, and sat there blankly without saying anything.
