Chapter 8 Zhang Guang's Past
Zhang Guang and Shaodong are neighbors, and they grew up together with bare butts. They both attended Dongjiao Middle School.
Zhang Guang’s parents should be alive, but it’s better not to be there.
Zhang Guang's father was addicted to alcohol and was fond of gambling. He would beat his wife when he went home after losing money.
When Zhang Guang was four or five years old, his father lost another bet late one night. He was drunk and grabbed his wife and beat him up. He was very fierce. His wife cried and howled. He couldn't stand it and ran away. He never came back after running away.
Zhang Guang's father's source of living is a three-wheeled manpower. He solicits customers in the county town and pays 50 cents to one dollar for car payments based on distance. He can earn 30 yuan a day.
In the 1990s, as long as you work hard, this income would definitely support the life of the father and the father and mother, and they would have a slight surplus.
But Zhang Guang's father has two hobbies, drinking and gambling.
Every morning, I ride a human-powered tricycle to work, and I don’t have to eat food. I have to buy a bottle and a pound of wine in my arms, and take a sip and pedal twice.
I was so dizzy that I had earned more than ten yuan to my pocket. At this time, I felt lonely and itchy, and when I jumped into the alley, I gathered with a group of idle people, took out the bet I carried with me and played. As long as I went to the poker table, although I didn’t have the brain of Wu Biao, I had the same hobby. Kaka was just gambling.
If you lose everything, you will work and lose everything. Anyway, you will have the strength to do it.
Zhang Guang's father was very fierce to beat people. Shaodong often saw Zhang Guang's father pressing Zhang Guang to the ground and kicking him. He kept kicking him. Zhang Guang didn't cry, but his eyes were straight and he let him kick him.
No one cares about Zhang Guang since he was a child, and no one asked him. After he was a student, Zhang Guang didn't like to go home because he was afraid that his father would get too much. He would hang out in the shantytowns. When he was hungry, he would go to the house of his good classmates to have a meal. In that era, the people were very kind, and the neighbors knew each other after they had been together for a long time. Children had some food and drink, and neighbors didn't care much.
Zhang Guang often skipped school, sold his family's rags and went to the game hall. After spending all the money, he would eat and stay at Shaodong's house. He often stayed for more than ten days.
Shaodong's mother is a kind peasant woman. She likes children by nature. Every time Zhang Guang comes, she will feed Zhang Guang with fried fruits. She feels very distressed when she sees Zhang Guang's hungry food. She often washes Zhang Guang's clothes. Sometimes even the tuition is paid by Shaodong's mother.
When Zhang Guang's father was not drunk, he remembered that he had a son. Every time he came to Shaodong's house to look for him, he could find him every time. Zhang Guang didn't like to go home, and he ran away when he saw his father asking him to come. If this continues, Zhang Guang's father was too lazy to care.
Zhang Guang is straight-hearted and will not beat around the bush. He is a person who will repay all grudges and repay all kindness. Zhang Guang lacked the care of his parents since he was a child and has always regarded Shaodong's mother as his own mother.
Zhang Guang often didn't wash his clothes and was dirty all over. In the second year of junior high school, he was dubbed "a disciple of the Beggars' Sect" by a naughty child from the third year of junior high school.
Zhang Guang didn't say a word, grabbed his hair and pressed it to the ground and kicked it, just like Zhang Guang's father kicked Zhang Guang. Zhang Guang's eyes were fierce, and the students didn't dare to fight. He kicked the third junior high school student foaming at the mouth. Finally, he pulled it away when the head teacher and school leaders arrived.
The parents of the third-year junior high school students came to a large group and asked Zhang Guang's parents for an explanation. The principal notified Zhang Guang's father to come to the school to deal with the problem. Zhang Guang's father's reply was: "Whoever beats the person, you will find someone, I have no money to compensate, if you break the person, there will be a policeman, and the public security bureau is not a person who is tying the old donkey. If you have the ability, you will be sentenced to death!" The principal was helpless when he met such a scoundrel.
The parents of the students who were beaten were unhappy and organized a group of old men and women to cause trouble at school. In the end, the school had no choice but to compensate the students who were beaten for medical expenses and nutritional expenses, and expel Zhang Guang.
From then on, Zhang Guang was wandering around the eastern suburbs and met some bad boys in society. He worked as an Internet administrator in an Internet cafe and watched the show in a karaoke bar. He was arrested and detained by the police station.
Shaodong and several friends gave him cigarettes and snacks. After coming out, Shaodong advised Zhang Guang several times. In Zhang Guang's words, it was: "What else can I do if I don't do this?"
After Shaodong joined the army, Zhang Guang often visited Shaodong's mother, had a meal at home, and chatted with Shaodong's mother and Xiaobei. The two of them were perfect "children".
But Zhang Guang's recent situation made Shaodong very worried. Shaodong would never want to be unfamiliar with Zhang Guang from now on because of what happened yesterday.
Shao Dong was thinking about what to say when he saw Zhang Guang and was considering it, he saw a hairy boy in the distance pulling Zhang Guang. The two were arguing about something. Zhang Guang seemed very reluctant.
Shaodong watched the two of them come and didn't say anything. When the Mao kid dragged Zhang Guang to Shaodong, he said to Shaodong: "Two brothers, you guys, I'll go buy some breakfast, and we'll eat at my aunt's house later." After that, he turned around and left.
Shao Dong jumped up on the ground, walked to Zhang Guang, bowed deeply, and said, "Brother Guang, I'm sorry."
"Nothing sorry, I am not up to the point. You are a policeman and I am a bad guy. I am not worthy of calling you brothers." Zhang Guang said excitedly, paused for a moment, and continued, "The hairy boy told me that you paid the fine, and I will pay it back to you." After that, Zhang Guang was about to leave.
Shao Dong grabbed Zhang Guang and said, "Where are you going for more than 20 years of love?"
"Go and help people fight and make money, otherwise you will get what you want to pay back." Zhang Guang held Shao Dong's arm and wanted to break free.
Shao Dong hugged Zhang Guang from behind and shouted, "Photomon, is I Shaodong such a person?"
Zhang Guang's eyes were red and he said, "I thought you were not, but you still caught me."
"Okay! Even if I don't catch you, how long do you think you can last if you continue like this?" Shao Dong asked loudly.
Zhang Guang also shouted: "What can I do? I'm just dead. I'm in a bad mood. I'm fine." As he shouted, Zhang Guang collapsed and was limp. He let Shao Dong hold him from behind, and the two of them sat on the ground.
Zhang Guang said cryingly: "My father is a dizzy person and I have no knowledge. What can I do? Ah? What can you tell me I can do?"
Shao Dong put his head on Zhang Guang and said word by word: "Photomon, don't forget that you have us. As long as you have a good attitude, everything is not a problem. I'll find a way!"
Zhang Guang looked stunned and murmured: "Everything...is not a problem...is there any other way, I will live one day...it will be a day of life."
Shao Dong pulled Zhang Guang and shouted: "Stand up!" "I'll let you stand up!"
Shao Dong pulled Zhang Guang up and shouted: "I tell you, Zhang Guang, you look down on yourself, and no one can look at you! Whose life is not something you work hard to get? You are the oldest. Look at the hairy child, look at Wang Bo, look at me!"
"Who do you have fewer arms and legs? I will tell you solemnly that you, Zhang Guang, are no worse than anyone else! You have both hands and feet. If you want to fall, no one can save you!"
Zhang Guang looked at Shao Dong and said, "I understand everything you said. Look at what I am now. After eating for the first meal, I also want to live a normal life by relying on my own efforts, but I have no choice!"
Shao Dong said slowly: "I have a solution, I didn't say it last time."
"What method?" Zhang Guang asked.
"You remember the transaction that I asked Wang Bo to help me pay attention to last time. As long as you are willing to do it, you will definitely do it based on your ability." Shao Dong said.
Zhang Guang's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he sighed and said, "I have no capital."
Shao Dong said: "Everyone think of a solution together. You are so strong. What kind of relationship do we have? Can you put away your self-esteem? Brother Guangguang? I still expect you to take Xiaobei."
Zhang Guang looked at Shaodong without saying anything. Shaodong hugged Zhang Guang's neck and said, "Brothers and I will make a decision. If it is appropriate, I will set up the stall as soon as possible."
Zhang Guang's face turned red and said nothing.
A loud shout came: "Damn, Brother Guangguang is crying." The hairy child walked over with a few plastic bags of breakfast.
Zhang Guang kicked him over, "Get out!"
The hairy child turned sideways, "I'll flash!". "Oh, stop making trouble, I'm sprinkling the rice." The plastic bag in his hand swayed, and the sparse yellow hair on the hairy child's head fluttered in the wind.
The three of them had breakfast with Shaodong's mother and Xiaobei at Shaodong's house. Shaodong told his mother about his plans and planned to let Xiaobei and a few kids do the shuttle business together. Xiaobei was very happy because although the work on the construction site was stable, it was really too tiring.
Shaodong's mother also supported Shaodong because Shaodong has returned from the army this time and has become much more mature and steady, and is more and more like the head of the family. Shaodong's mother is a typical simple peasant woman and has a lot of trust in her son.
He called Wang Bo, and Wang Bo made an appointment with his friend who was selling the car to see him at 10 am. Shaodong took Xiaobei and Zhang Guang to the county to find Wang Bo, and the four of them went to the "Chengbei Bus Station" together.
Wang Bo's friend is Xiaowuzi, who is about forty years old. Because Xiaowuzi likes to play cards, Wang Bo used to be a police officer in the police station, during a gambling process, Xiaowuzi was arrested by the police station.
Wang Bo was responsible for the care of these gamblers. At that time, Wang Bo was just a contract worker and was not a policeman. There were formal police officers in charge of the case trial. Wang Bo did not make things difficult for Xiaowuzi, and even smoked cigarettes for Xiaowuzi. Later, the case ended, Xiaowuzi let him go. Xiaowuzi thought Wang Bo was good and invited Wang Bo to have a meal. After a while, the two of them met.
The four of them found Xiao Wuzi at the passenger station. Xiao Wuzi found a corner and was about to arrange for the driver to drive the car. Seeing Wang Bo and others coming, they waved their hands and gave Wang Bo and others a cigarette.
"Fifth Brother, these are my two friends, Shao Dong, Zhang Guang. I want to see the car." Wang Bo said.
"Okay! The procedures are all in the car. My car is in good condition. The driver is still caring for it. The insurance is still half a year, and there is a fixed source of customers. It’s not that I can’t bear to sell it." Brother Wu introduced.
"Let me see the procedures, Photon, look at the car." Shao Dong said.
Zhang Guang opened the car door, opened the hood, and then drilled under the car for a look.
Ten minutes later, "The car is in good condition." Zhang Guang said to Shao Dong in a low voice.
"Fifth Brother, look at the average condition of our brother, just tell me the real price!" Shao Dong said to the fifth brother.
"With this relationship with Bodi, I won't ask for the price randomly. I have a car and a route with 750,000 yuan. The two drivers also follow the car. They are both experienced and their salary will be as they were." said the fifth brother.
