While squeezing into the minibus to go home, Lang Lang touched his pockets and realized that the last of his fare money had been stolen.
But the car door was already closed. Lang Lang gritted his teeth and decided to do the first bad thing in his life: fare evasion.
He plucked up the courage and sat down pretending to be nonchalant.
Soon, the conductor started walking around the car, asking people to buy tickets one by one.
When it was the wave's turn, he blushed and lowered his head in shame. Silence was better than sound. This demeanor with the word "no money" written on his face soon caused other passengers and conductors to stare at him with cold and mocking eyes, making him want to find a hole in the ground immediately. .
The driver was so angry that he stamped his feet and ordered the conductor to drive the waves out of the car.
You naughty kid, you can’t take a car if you don’t have money. I’ve seen you like this too many times. Get out of here.
The conductor pushed Lang Lang and kicked him out of the car. Before Lang Lang could stand still, he threw his luggage on him again.
In an instant, rags and seventy-eight items were scattered all over the floor.
People in the car pointed and cursed like "little bastard", "wild dog", "you can't learn well at such a young age", etc., but Hailan didn't care.
After working outside for more than half a year, he has developed a strong immunity to all kinds of cynicism.
He bent down and picked up everything one by one and put it back into the bag. When he saw a broken electric fan smashed to pieces on the ground, he couldn't hold back anymore and cried out in pain. He dug it out from the garbage heap, and after stalking a worker who was proficient in mechanics and electricity to repair it, he was going to take it home for his elderly grandfather to enjoy the cool air in the summer.
The last bit of Hailang's self-esteem, like the fan that was thrown out of the car, was torn to pieces and shattered on the ground.
Wiping tears, he threw the luggage he had finally packed on the ground, and for the first time he began to think about the ultimate philosophical question of fate: I have never done any bad things, why is fate so unfair to me, that I have to be bullied and bullied everywhere? People look down upon?
This is a difficult problem that many people have never understood in their entire lives. For the waves at that time, it was difficult to find the answer at his age.
With doubts about his fate, Waves could only take an afternoon and a whole night to walk home.
Grandpa's condition worsened, and Hailan returned to the village and could only resume his old business of recycling waste products.
But the villagers clearly felt that Hailang had changed: he was taciturn, not as careless and heartless as before, and seemed to have something on his mind; most importantly, his scrap recycling price returned to the same high as the market price. This made some uncles, aunts, and elderly people in the village very dissatisfied. They called him a "white-eyed wolf" behind his back. After a trip to the city, he smelled of copper.
Of course, some villagers are understanding of his behavior.
A year later, my grandfather died of illness. Because of his grandfather's deteriorating condition, Hailang owed a lot of debt to many villagers. This gave him the idea of continuing to work in the city to earn money to pay off his debts, but the only job he could think of was moving bricks on construction sites.
But his age is always a problem. Fortunately, he has grown a lot in the past year or so, but if he wants to lie to others that he is an adult, I am afraid he can only tell it to a blind man.
Just when he was having a headache about how to solve this problem, a villager who lent money to Lang Lang told him, you melon kid, what the hell, you can't hire child labor, this is what the foreman lied to you, we are a poor country, these bastards There are so many bullshit laws, but how many of them follow them?
That foreman bullied you because you were young and didn't understand these things, so he extorted your wages. Do you really take these bullshit legal provisions seriously?
Lang Lang suddenly realized something and vaguely understood a truth: it turns out that legal provisions can be ignored.
Then, the villager told him that the reason why you can't find a job outside is that you are too young. The recruiter is worried that you can't do anything, and they have to consider and take care of your personal safety, so they don't need you. If someone takes care of you, , there are people to protect and guarantee, and it is different to have someone to take responsibility for any safety accidents.
Finally, the villagers introduced a distant relative named Cui Yong to Hailang. This Cui Yong has been working as a foreman in the city recently. Hailang can go to him and work under him.
come again
Hai Lang, who was moving bricks at the construction site, was pleasantly surprised to find that under Cui Yong's care, his wages had never been in arrears.
So, Lang Lang started to work step by step. He originally thought that life would be like this, but if nothing unexpected happened, accidents would happen soon. The poisonous whip of fate never seems to let go of the waves.
One day after get off work, Cui Yong asked Shang Lang to go out for dinner. Although he is young, Cui Yong likes this half-year-old boy who is diligent and quick at work. Coupled with the relationship between distant relatives, he likes to take Hailang with him as soon as he gets off work.
During the meal, the bearded Cui Yong persuaded Hailang to drink. Lang Lang was extremely grateful to Cui Yong, and he also thought that he had grown up and was considered a man, so he started drinking for the first time in his life. Then, he quickly drank himself unconscious.
When he woke up the next day, Lang Lang found himself sleeping with his naked buttocks and Cui Yong, who also had sex. What was even more frightening was that he felt like his anus was on fire, with a tearing pain.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Cui Yong turned over, pressed on him, opened his smelly mouth towards him, and licked his face. While licking, he said, let's do some morning exercises again. Bar.
After being stunned for a long time, Hailan finally came to his senses and began to resist.
Cui Yongxie got angry and didn't have the same gentle attitude towards Hailang in the past. He slapped Hailang's face with a palm as big as a cattail fan and shouted at the same time. Sorry, you little pretty face looks like a girl. I originally thought you were still young and not fully developed. Only last night did I find out that it was because you had no fucking eggs.
Lang Lang fell into a pot of boiling water when he was a child and his genitals were scalded. He had to undergo surgery to remove his penis and save his life. This secret that made him feel extremely inferior was now discovered by Cui Yong.
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, the waves jumped up screaming and flipped Cui Yong onto the bed.
During the struggle, Hai Lang picked up a pair of scissors on the bedside table and stabbed Cui Yong hard on the shoulder.
Cui Yong screamed in pain. Seeing the excited waves waving scissors at him, the bearded man couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He just has a "special hobby" and likes to eat "baby chickens", but he never thought about causing death.
Rabbits bite when they are anxious. This furry kid, who usually seems honest and amiable and does not say a word even when teased and bullied by his co-workers, must have been driven to anger.
So, Cui Yong immediately changed his face and forced out an ugly smile. Let's talk about anything we have to say. There will be no bloodshed. Listen to your uncle and put down the scissors. Be good. If your uncle has done something wrong, he can give you money as an apology.
Pay your mother a favor.
Hailan threw the scissors at Cui Yong, took advantage of him to dodge, opened the door, and ran away.
There is no way to stay at this construction site.
The huge humiliation and low self-esteem made Lang Lang choose to escape, rushed into the work shed where he lived, packed up a pile of rags, and went home.
But when he returned to the village, he saw that the rammed-earth ancestral house left to him by his grandfather had actually been occupied, or rather demolished, and a tall brick house had been erected instead. Of course, he is definitely not the owner of the house.
The head of the household who occupies the ancestral house of Lang Lang is named Pei Yuanjia, and he is a neighbor of Lang Lang.
Pei Yuanjia wanted to build his house taller and bigger, but the size of the original homestead and the closely adjacent Hailang ancestral house determined that he had to choose a new location to realize this idea. .
But after searching around, the Feng Shui master said that the location where he lives now is the best, and there is nothing better than this in the whole village.
Looking at the dark, empty little earthen house in front of him, Pei Yuanjia, after much thought, decided to take advantage of Hailang's work in the city to demolish it, then occupy it as his own and build a new high-rise building.
If Lang Lang was at home and told this boy that he wanted to buy his ancestral house, he might not agree, so why not take advantage of his absence to do it first and then tell the story later? When the time comes, the rice will be cooked, and the waves will have to agree even if they don’t agree. They won’t demolish my new house, right? Besides, that boy is also a good talker. He often ate at our house when he was a child.
To those who come to negotiate
Pei Yuanjia lied to the village chief and other villagers who were concerned about Lang Lang, saying that he had found Lang Lang in the city, and reached an agreement with him and gave him a sum of money.
In a country and era where communication basically relied on shouting, Pei Yuanjia relied on this set of rhetoric to successfully deceive the entire village.
Lang Lang stood outside his ancestral home, thinking he had gone to the wrong place. Pei Yuanjia saw Lang Lang and immediately pulled him into the house. He finally explained the whole story and promised to give Lang Lang a sum of money as compensation.
Lang Lang felt very uncomfortable, but as Pei Yuanjia expected, he was indeed in an awkward position where he had to agree even if he didn't agree.
Therefore, despite the reluctance of Lang Lang, this verbal agreement of forced purchase and sale was finally reached.
But fate's twists on the waves are far from over. Sometimes it is not only evil people who bully honest people, but also fate will join the ranks of evildoers.
Since Pei Yuanjia couldn't get the money for a while and needed some time to raise it, he left Hailang at home for the night.
That night, Pei Yuanjia's wife returned to her parents' home, and her two sons were working outside. He was alone at home entertaining Hai Hailang with wine and food.
After eating and drinking, Lang Lang went to bed to rest. However, Pei Yuanjia suddenly remembered that the nets scattered in the river to catch fish had not been collected today, so he went out to collect the nets by the river. As a result, he stumbled and fell in due to drinking. In the river, drowned.
The next day, some villagers passed by the river and discovered Pei Yuanjia's body.
In this way, the verbal agreement between Pei Yuanjia and Lang Lang became known to heaven and earth, and only Lang Lang knew it.
