After a long day on the bus, they arrived at City G's bus terminal in the evening. I've discussed it with the Tian brothers. We don't have many friends in City G. We can only rely on Zhu Sheng first.
We got into a taxi near the bus station and read the address Zhu Sheng left for the Bao family to the driver. The Bao family and I looked around. It was our first time in City G, so everything was new.
The car turned left and right, which opened my eyes. Bao Jia pointed here and there, looking very excited.
Of course, City G back then couldn't be compared to City G now, but compared to our hometown back then, it was like heaven and earth. It was already eight or nine o'clock at night, and there were neon lights everywhere, making it seem prosperous.
But very quickly, I felt that something was wrong. Just as I was about to flare up, I heard Baoguo, who had been pretending to sleep in the front seat, say,"Comrade Driver, you've circled this area six times. If you have the ability, keep going.”
"Hehe, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. It's hard to find your address.”The driver looked embarrassed. Baoguo didn't answer, still closing his eyes and taking a nap.
I thought that the driver must have thought that we were country bumpkins who had just entered the city from the countryside, but he only guessed half of it. It was our first time entering the city, but we were not country bumpkins. Soldiers had a strong sense of direction, not to mention the soldiers who protected the country. Even if he was blindfolded and turned dozens of times, he could still distinguish north, south, east, and west.
The car stopped and the driver said. The meter showed that it was more than 11 yuan. The driver smiled foolishly."Eight yuan is enough, eight yuan is enough."
I glared at him and was about to give him two slaps when Baoguo stopped me. He threw down five yuan and got out of the car.
When he asked the passers-by, he realized that it was still quite a distance away from Zhu Sheng's residence. He had just arrived in the big city and was cheated. He was really angry. At the same time, he felt that the city people were more cunning than the villagers.
After walking for half an hour, they finally found Zhu Sheng's address. It was in an alley, one of the rows of bungalows.
Baoguo knocked on the door. After a while, a tall and beautiful young woman opened the door. I was standing at the side and was stunned. The women in the city were really extraordinary. I muttered to myself. The beautiful woman saw Baoguo and said," Ya, Da Sheng, come out quickly. Look who's here." Hehe, it's to protect the family."
Baoguo was stunned." Hello, comrade. I'm Baoguo. Baojia is my younger brother.”
Bao Jia also walked forward." Hello, Sister Ci. We meet again."”
She was originally called " Sister Ci." Sister Ci sized up the Bao brothers and nodded repeatedly." Yes, they really do." Come on in."
When we entered the house, we saw a young man standing in the living room and greeting us. Sister Ci was about to introduce him when Zhu Sheng walked out of the bathroom and hurriedly wiped his wet hair. When he saw us, his eyes lit up." Little Huzi? Protect the country? Both of you are back?"
We brothers were together. We were brothers in the village since we were young. We didn't contact each other since we parted three years ago. It has been three years, and now we finally meet again.
After the greetings, Zhu Sheng introduced them to us one by one."Liang Jianci is my girlfriend. You can call her Xiao Ci. This is Brother Song An, he has been with me all these years. Xiao Ci, Song An, let me introduce my best friends to you. This is Ye Dehu, Little Huzi, and this is Tian Baoguo, Bao Jia's brother.”
Song An and Xiao Ci came over to greet us. Song An handed over tea." Brothers, just call me Little Song. Brother Dasheng often mentions you guys to me. We're sworn brothers. I really envy your childhood.”
That night, Sister Ci cooked a few dishes to go with wine for us and chatted happily in the living room.
"Come, come, come. Bao Guo, Bao Jia, Little Huzi, Little Song, cheers.”
"Wait for me, I'm coming too." Sister Ci came out of the kitchen with another plate of food and wiped the oil off her hands.
After clinking glasses, everyone drank a large glass of white wine in one gulp. Seeing Sister Ci's heroic bearing when she drank, I thought at that time, Brother Dasheng is really blessed. When can I find my own Sister Ci?
After three rounds of drinking, everyone told each other about their experiences over the past few years.
It turned out that Dasheng had been sentenced to two years in prison for assault. In prison, he loved to make friends and was very loyal. Even the prisoners and guards liked him very much. Soon, he became the boss of the prison. In fact, only a few people who were in prison at that time were evil people. Most of them were arrested in the Great Cruel Robbery. Since 1979, with the downfall of the Gang of Four, many unjust cases were redressed. A national amnesty was implemented and political prisoners were released. Due to his good relationship with the prison guards, Da Sheng was able to receive a reduced sentence for his good performance in the reform. He was also released along with the amnesty of the third batch of political prisoners, so he only stayed in prison for less than a year.
Song An was Big Brother Da Sheng's cellmate. He was small and was often bullied by a group of prison bullies. Da Sheng could not stand it and fought with the prison bullies. That time, Da Sheng fought against four people alone and was outnumbered. He was beaten badly. Fortunately, other cellmates found out and came to help. Da Sheng was able to escape, but he was also hospitalized for a full month. From then on, Song An followed Da Sheng. Song An has a superb skill, which is stealing. His technique is very flexible and concealed. He performed it on the spot for us to see. It was like magic. I repeatedly praised him. In fact, Song An was sentenced to prison at a young age because of this skill. He was released from prison later than Da Sheng, so he went to Da Sheng as soon as he came out and lived with him.
Da Sheng said that Song An was even better at picking locks. No lock was difficult for him. What was even more amazing was that he could open it faster than someone with a key. Song An laughed foolishly.
After he was released from prison, Brother Sheng was asked to stay in City G by his cellmates. At that time, it was difficult for people who had been in prison to get a job. Brother Sheng had many friends and connections. He found acquaintances at the construction site and arranged for his cellmates to work at the construction site. The cellmates were very grateful and listened to him. Soon, Brother Sheng became a supervisor and led this group of workers to several construction sites. Because they worked hard, many of them were well-educated, learned quickly, had good craftsmanship, and had solid engineering quality. Therefore, they became a little famous in the construction team. Brother Sheng had become a small contractor. He could directly contract some small projects and start to earn some money.
However, during a project, because the bamboo shed was not solid enough, Brother Sheng stepped on air and fell from four meters high to the ground. His left foot was fractured and put on a cast. He was hospitalized for more than three months. It was during these three months that she met Liang Jianci, who had just started working as a nurse.
Liang Jianci's beautiful face and tall figure had long attracted Da Sheng's attention. She took good care of Da Sheng every day, which made Da Sheng very grateful and determined to pursue her.
In the process of getting along with Da Sheng, Liang Jianci also felt that Da Sheng was humorous and caring for his friends. As they chatted, he developed a good impression of Da Sheng. Before Da Sheng was discharged from the hospital, the two of them established a relationship. Liang Jianci was from Shandong, and his family was all in Qing Dao. After junior high school, he was admitted to a health school in City G. After graduation, he stayed in City G's First People's Hospital as a nurse. As she had to live with other colleagues in the hospital staff dormitory, life was not very convenient. Later, she moved directly here to live with Dasheng.
We chatted until late into the night. Everyone drank too much. The next day, Da Sheng and Song An still had to work, so everyone needed to rest. Da Sheng decided to go to the nearby fishing village in the South China Sea to eat hot pot after work tomorrow. It was really a good welcome for his brothers.
Da Sheng arranged for us to squeeze together for the time being. Bao Jia and Song An will stay in his room, and Bao Guo and I will replace Song An as the director. As for him, he has no choice but to move into Liang Jianci's room.
Haha, all of us brothers laughed heartily…
The next day, Da Sheng and Song An had already gone to work. After breakfast, Baoguo said that he was going to the battery factory to scout the way and report his arrival. Bao Jia also wanted to go. I smiled and said,"They only invited one person, but two of them came. That's really profitable.”
Bao Guo could not persuade Bao Jia, so the two brothers went out. They would walk around and agreed to go directly to the fishing village in the South China Sea at night.
Liang Jianci didn't have to work that day, and new nurses usually didn't have to take Sunday off. So, at noon, I ate Liang Jianci's specialty dish again and praised it endlessly." Sister Ci, where did you learn this skill? It's even more delicious than my mother's cooking."”
"No, it's just cooked. If it's delicious, eat more.”Liang Jianci heard my praise and said with a smile.
"Just casually cooking and you're already at this level? If only I could eat your vegetables every day.”
" If you like it, I'll cook it for you every day…" After saying that, she seemed to have said something wrong again, and her face turned red. I was even more stunned. I said," Brother Dasheng is so lucky. I'm so envious…"
In the afternoon, Liang Jianci took me for a walk nearby, and we chatted happily again. I vividly told Liang Jianci about my childhood and Brother Dasheng's unrestrained life as well as my three years in the army. She sometimes widened her beautiful eyes and sometimes chuckled.
I asked her if she could understand all the Cantonese.
She said," I've been in City G for three years. It was a little difficult at first, but now I can basically understand everything. It's just that I don't know how to speak. I can't speak it well. Da Sheng doesn't speak Cantonese with me either.”
"Oh? Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
She clapped her hands and smiled happily." Okay, okay. When you speak fluent Cantonese, you'll scare me to death.”
I smiled." How about this? I'll be your Cantonese teacher. Hmm…Alright, let's start with something simple." In Cantonese,'this side' was called 'Li Du' and 'that side' was called 'Guo Du'.”
"Nidu, Guodu."
"It's not 'nie', it's' lie'. Look at the shape of my mouth,'lie',' lie'.”
Liang Jianci mimicked my mouth shape.”
"Not bad, not bad. You're worth teaching. In Cantonese, the word 'no' is rarely used. Instead, it is replaced with the word 'uh'. For example, if you say' I don't want to eat', you should say 'uh'. If you don't want to listen, you should say' don't listen to me'…"
I taught him sentence by sentence, and Liang Jianci patiently learned sentence by sentence. I corrected him again, and he was very happy. As I walked, I saw a grocery store with a public phone on the side of the road. I suddenly remembered something and asked Liang Jianci to wait for me.
After rummaging through my pocket for a long time, I found Shan Guoyu's home phone number. Shan Guoyu's home was in City G. His father was the leader of the military in City G. He suddenly thought of Guoyu and decided to call the number he left for me to see if I could find him. At that time, very few families had a phone.
It was a mother-in-law's voice that answered the phone. She said that Guoyu had gone to work and told me his company's number. She dialed again and finally heard Guoyu's voice." Who is it?”
"Is it Guoyu? It's me, De Hu, Little Huzi!"
"F * ck, Little Huzi, it's really you. Hehe, where are you?”
"I came to City G yesterday and was having fun. Are you at work? Where do you work?"
"Huangpu District? Why? Are you here to play in City G? You can't leave so soon, right? I'll look for you after work to have a meal and chat.”
"Sure. Oh, I'm meeting a few brothers for dinner tonight. Why don't you come and get to know them?”
"Alright, it's settled then."
After I asked Liang Jianci to tell Guoyu where to eat, we started our Cantonese tuition class again.
In the evening, Da Sheng and Song An went straight to Nanhai Fishing Village after work. I went with Liang Jianci and the Tian brothers. Baoguo also brought a friend. I met him at the battery factory. It was his former comrade in the company, Guo Dahai.
At the entrance of the South Sea Fishing Village, a jeep with a military license plate rushed over. With a squeak, it came to an emergency brake and stopped in the parking lot at the entrance. A fat man got out of the car. It was Shan Guoyu.
"Fatty, you're really something. You even have a special car?”I smiled and went up to him.
"No, I'm not. I'm from the office. Little Huzi, you look quite sturdy.”As he spoke, he punched me twice.
I also grabbed his belly."Look at you. It's been a long time since I saw you. You've put on weight again.”
He patted his belly and laughed.
The Southern Sea Fishing Village was not a so-called fishing village. It was the name of a restaurant. It was not very high-end. It was only one floor, but it was very big. Da Sheng had booked a private room. We went in and sat down, introducing ourselves.
"My name is Shan Guoyu. Everyone can just call me Fatty…" Shan Guoyu introduced himself first.
It turned out that after leaving the front line, Guo Yu was transferred back to his father's side and became a publicity officer in Huangpu Military Region. I vividly told the story of Guoyu and me at the front line. I even showed the bravery of this fatty in front of me. Everyone drank to him.
After three rounds of wine, the food was hot and fragrant. Everyone ate heartily. Guo Dahai also introduced himself. He was Tian Baoguo's comrade in the reconnaissance company. He used to be codenamed " Cheetah." He got his name because he was always the best in cross-country running during training." But now, he's a lame leopard.”He laughed at himself and pulled up his pants. He saw a palm-sized scar on his calf and several surgical stitches.
It turned out that during a mission a few months ago, when he was hiding, he was bitten by a local poisonous snake on his left leg. He fainted not long after. It was the observer who carried him back. When he woke up, he was already in the hospital. A large piece of his foot muscle had been dug out, and a layer of his bones had been scraped off. His life was saved. However, after he recovered, his left leg was one centimeter shorter than his right leg. He limped a little when he walked. Fortunately, it did not affect his life. However, he could not stay in the company anymore. He retired early and was arranged to work in the battery factory in City G.
Everyone sighed when they heard this." Come, let's drink to our comrades who were injured and sacrificed for our country.”Fatty raised his glass and drank. Everyone stood up and started to work." Come, come, come, let's do it.”
At this moment, the sound of the wall was heard, and curses came from the next room."Damn it, all of you, be quiet. You're disturbing my wine.”
Just as I was about to flare up, Baoguo pulled me back." Forget it, forget it. Let's drink. Hehe, let's come out and have fun. Don't be calculative.”
We sat down, and the sounds of rock-paper-scissors began to ring out next door again." Black sesame, wah, white sesame, wah…" As the hotel used wooden rooms, the soundproofing was very poor.
"What is this? Wa-wah?" Guo Yu cursed as he drank. Who knew that the guy next door seemed to have long ears. It was so noisy on his side, but he could still hear Guo Yu's words.
"Are you f * cking courting death? Brothers, stop playing. There's a bastard next door scolding us. Bring your weapons and let's go over and see what's going on.”Then, we heard a loud noise. A group of people holding watermelon knives and water pipes rushed into our room. It was obvious that their leader had a scar from the corner of his left eye to the bridge of his nose.”
Guo Dahai, Shan Guoyu, and Zhu Sheng were sitting at the outermost seat. Guo Dahai stood up lazily.""It's me. What's wrong? " Black sesame, wow, white sesame, wow…" Guo Dahai imitated his tone, and it was so vivid that we couldn't help but laugh when we heard it. Liang Jianci laughed the loudest. He was so angry that he laughed out loud. Looking at her smile, I was faintly moved…
Dao Ba was so angry that his expression changed." If I don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Brothers, go, teach these country bumpkins a lesson."”
At that time, our clothes were really old-fashioned. Other than Liang Jianci, everyone was basically wearing the kind of gray and black thin cotton clothes. The most handsome one was Guo Yu, who wore a military uniform similar to a Chinese tunic suit in the army.
At that time, our private room was not big. Most of Dao Ba's brothers were outside the door. Only four or five of them rushed in. Guo Dahai was prepared. When he saw Dao Ba rushing over, he grabbed the folding chair he was sitting on and blocked Dao Ba's watermelon knife. He retracted his right foot and then extended it with force. He kicked Dao Ba's lower abdomen. Dao Ba's face was deformed from the pain. He hugged his abdomen and shrunk into a shrimp shape.
It wasn't over yet. Guo Dahai took advantage of the moment when Dao Ba bent over with his arms around his abdomen. As soon as his right foot landed on the ground, his left foot flew up and kicked Dao Ba's face fiercely. Scarface's face was covered in blood as he flew backwards. Fortunately, his brothers caught him.
His movements were smooth and powerful, without any sloppiness. " Good, good, good…" The Tian brothers and I sat in the innermost part, facing the door. We could see it clearly and couldn't help but cheer. Song An was even more dumbfounded.
Scar's brothers were still rushing in. They relied on the weapons in their hands to slash at him. Guoyu could not sit still anymore. He blocked the incoming water pipe with his right arm, and his left hand immediately threw a straight hook at the other party's face. With a bang, the guy cried out, threw the water pipe, and covered his chin. He was in so much pain that he could not make a sound and fell beside Da Sheng. Da Sheng took the opportunity to slap him on the other side. This guy screamed again. Five red fingerprints were deeply imprinted on his face. This time, he held his chin with both hands, as if he was afraid of losing it. He was in so much pain that he actually cried.
"F * ck." Guo Yu rubbed his right arm. He had just forcefully connected the water pipe, and now he felt pain. That funny look made me laugh.
Guo Yu flew into a rage and charged towards the door. Guo Dahai followed behind and beat the group of people back, blocking the door.
The walkway outside was also very narrow, so the group of people could not spread out at all. Guo Dahai and Shan Guoyu were fighting more than ten of them, like one on one. They were no match for them. One by one, they fell, and the few behind them ran away.
Guo Yu grabbed Dao Ba, who was still moaning in pain on the ground, and slapped him a few more times, making him scream.
"Who did you call a country bumpkin just now?" Guo Yu asked with a smile.”
" I made a mistake, I made a mistake. Stop hitting me…" Dao Ba was like a defeated rooster. He lowered his head and wiped the blood from his nose.
"Forget it, forget it, fatty. Let them go.”Baoguo said.
Dao Ba looked at Guo Yu and Guo Dahai and nodded." Thank you, big brothers. Thank you, big brothers.”He was about to leave.
" Hold on," Guo Dahai shouted." You broke your grandfather's chair here. Are you leaving just like that?"”
"It's my fault, it's my fault." Dao Ba quickly apologized and waved his hand. A young man who had fallen to the side grabbed his stomach and got up. He took out a stack of " Great Unity " and handed it to Guo Dahai." Brothers, this meal is on us. As a gift, you can eat slowly and drink happily."”
Guo Dahai waved his hand, and the group of people helped each other out of the restaurant as if they had been pardoned.
As soon as they left, we started laughing. Just now, Guo Dahai and Shan Guoyu had displayed their skills, and everyone had enjoyed watching them and praised them repeatedly.
After that group of people made a scene, we drank even more happily. Everyone drank a few more glasses." I didn't expect that Sister Dasheng was actually a female hero. She can drink like this."”Guo Yu laughed.
"What big victory? Fatty, don't talk nonsense." Liang Jianci's face was flushed red, and he looked even more beautiful.
"Since we're so happy today, why don't we become sworn brothers and share weal and woe together in the future?”Brother Dasheng drank too much and was very happy.
"Alright, alright." We all agreed.
"I want a share too." Liang Jianci said with a smile.
"But you're Aunt Dasheng?" Guo Yu chuckled.
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense."
Da Sheng laughed as well." Go, go, go. What Aunt Da Sheng? We haven't even gotten married yet. I didn't say that I wanted her, hehe."”
Liang Jianci punched Da Sheng in the face, and everyone laughed.
With such a beautiful girl as their sworn brother, everyone was even more excited. Guo Dahai carried the Guan Gong statue from the restaurant at the end of the corridor in.
Everyone reported their birthdays to each other. Brother Dasheng was the oldest (although he was in the same class as me and Baoguo in primary school, that was because he stayed in the class for two years). He was the eldest. Later on, everyone called him "Brother Dasheng". Guo Dahai was second. He was the second brother, and everyone called him "Dahai" or "Brother Dahai". Shan Guoyu was ranked third, third brother. Everyone called him "Third Fatty,""Fatty," or "Third Brother." Liang Jianci was ranked fourth, Fourth Sister. Everyone called her "Fourth Sister" I'm ranked fifth, so I'm called the worst. Everyone calls me "Old Wang", hehe, or "Fifth Brother" or "Five Huzi"; Tian Baoguo was ranked sixth, so everyone called him "Tian Laoliu" or "Brother Six". Tian Baojia was ranked seventh. Haha, needless to say, everyone called him "Tian Qi". Song An was the youngest, so everyone called him "Eighth Brother".
Da Sheng chanted," We are brothers and sisters. We don't wish to be born on the same day, but we wish to die on the same day. From now on, we will share blessings and difficulties together." If you break this oath, you will die a horrible death!"
We also read it together once, paid our respects to Guan Gong, and offered incense.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Sanfei was leaving. He had to drive back to Huangpu at night. He asked which one of us was on the way and could give him a ride. Dahai lived in Dongshan and left with Sanfei's car. The remaining six of us drank a few more glasses and couldn't drink anymore. We paid the bill, left the restaurant, and sang home.
After walking for less than ten minutes, a van across the road suddenly braked, followed by a minibus. A large group of people jumped out of the car with their weapons. Good heavens, two cars could actually accommodate more than 40 people.
"Big brother, it's them." I could tell that it was Dao Ba's voice. He was pointing at us from the other side.
Thus, the brothers 'first battle after becoming sworn brothers started, and it was a fierce battle…
