Chapter 6 six

Dasheng looked at his leg that was hanging in the air. The leg was fixed on the bed frame with plaster and splints. The doctor said that he couldn’t move it at all.The doctor once reminded him with a stern face that your life is hard now, not much better than being in prison. The alarm clock in the house is ticking, and the last days of summer will be ticking away like this. A yellow civet cat is lying on the window sill and scratching its own fur. Suddenly there is a crisp sound of the pot lid falling in the kitchen. Then there is the resentment of Xifeng, who hit a ghost, and even the pot lid is playing tricks on me.That's Teng Feng cooking pork bone soup on the stove, eating bones and nourishing bones. This is also the nourishing theory that the residents of Xiangchunshu Street have used for many years.

Dasheng cursed at the injured leg. He thought the doctor's words were right, and lying at home like this was really not much better than Hongqi's imprisonment.What made him most anxious was the problem of excretion. He couldn't bear his mother's action of shoving the bedpan under him, and he couldn't adapt to the exposed place in front of her.You go out and come in later, he said to his mother in a nasty voice.Teng Feng ignored her son, but she turned around and cleaned the window naturally. Teng Feng said, I have raised you for sixteen years, and I have suffered for sixteen years. If something happens to you, see if I will shed a tear?Not a single tear will fall.

Xifeng didn't know the reason why Dasheng fell from the tree. Dasheng would never let his mother find out any details of his trip to Caolan Street. As a shame, when Xiaoguai came to visit Dasheng, Teng Feng almost got the whole story out of Xiaoguai's mouth. Sheng shouted to his mother, such a salty soup, are you going to pickle me to death?Xiaoguai was quite interesting, and immediately changed the topic, but Xiaoguai immediately uttered fierce words, which angered Xifeng. Xiaoguai laughed and said to Dasheng, "It's fine if your legs are lame too. One left turn and one right turn, and from now on it will be double turns in the north of the city, Knee Feng's face immediately sank, shut your stinky mouth, Teng Feng scolded sharply, I want to find your partner and go home to look for it, our family didn't do anything that is immoral If it was someone else's turn or not Dasheng's, Xifeng immediately took a broom and swept the floor beside Xiaoguai's feet, Xiaoguai moved his feet a few times, and the smile on his face finally froze, because he found that Xifeng was again We are chasing customers.Xiaoguai hurriedly put his mouth in Dasheng's ear and said, "Play with your own guy if you have nothing to do. It's fun to try." Xiaoguai laughed and left after speaking. It's a little hot.

Look what kind of friends you have made?Teng Feng watched Xiaoguai's back, threw down the broom in his hand and said, without a decent friend, one day you have to accompany them to the execution ground. Dasheng glanced at his mother in disgust, and then his eyes stayed on the injured leg hanging in the air for a long time. There was a fly flying on the gauze. Dasheng waved the fly away, but he couldn't drive it away. A fly, but you have nothing to do with it, Dasheng suddenly and truly felt the taste of being hurt.Fuck it, life like this is worse than death.Dasheng subconsciously looked at the photo of his deceased father on the south wall. The late father left a gray black and white posthumous photo. His expression has become eternal. There is no smile, only the faint anger in his eyes is still there after death. burning.

Mother went out to buy vegetables, Dasheng heard a familiar whistle, the whistle passed through the dark room, from far to near, Dasheng knew it was Xu De, he straightened up to meet his friend, Only at this moment did Dasheng realize that he had been waiting for Xu De.Xu De appeared by the door with a smile on his face, wearing a white sweater and white suit shorts. His tall and thin head almost reached Menmei. Dasheng felt that Xu De had grown taller, which was actually an illusion, but Dasheng I don't know why I often have this illusion. play chess.Sud took out a box of chess from the pocket of his shorts, walked to Dasheng's bedside and said, playing chess?

No more.Dasheng shook his head. Why not play chess?Why not play chess? I don't want to do anything.Dasheng stared blankly at the injured leg. Xu De put away the chess. He found that there was half a bowl of meat and bone soup left by Dasheng on the table, so he picked it up and drank it. Hong Hai was pulling people on the street these two days, and Xu De was sucking a meat bone loudly. Said, Hong Hai will be setting up a scene with someone under the city wall tomorrow. It is a group of people from Bricklayer Street in Dongmen. He has come to pull me, and he wants me to pull you. He doesn't know that your leg is broken.

are you going?Dasheng asked. If you don't go, Hong Hai is even more stupid than Hong Qi, and you will suffer a lot if you play with him. If my leg didn't break, I would definitely go. We are all from the same street, so how could we not go?I can't go even if I want to. Sude grabbed the towel on the bed frame and wiped his mouth. He said, tomorrow I have to go to work in the bottle washing factory. Bottle washing factory?Dasheng laughed out loud, what are you doing in the bottle washing factory, sitting with those old women washing bottles? I don't wash the bottles, just load and unload them.Syd's look of embarrassment is fleeting, what do you know?Xu De said that many little girls have entered the bottle washing factory, not all of them are old women.What's the point if it's all old women?It’s the same for earning wages anyway.

The women in the bottle washing factory are the wildest, you are careful to let them be crushed.Dasheng said. Am I still afraid of them?Xu De smiled and walked around the house, he suddenly became a little restless, I'm leaving, I want to go to Sun Mazi's house and get a certificate. Don't go, chat with me for a while.Dasheng wanted to grab his hand, but couldn't. No, I'm going to Sun Mazi's house to get a certificate.Xu De had already run outside the door, turned around and said to Dasheng, your mother is coming back soon. Dasheng was disappointed to hear that the outside door was closed by Sydra, fuck, the bottle washing factory?He said he was going to the bottle wash.Half of Dasheng's heart is ridiculed at Xu De, and the other half is inarticulate desolation. He wants to go to a place like the bottle washing factory?A good-for-nothing, Dasheng said to himself, if I were to go to the bottle washing factory, I might as well go to Caolan Street and go to jail.With a sense of melancholy, he imagined the scene of Syd in the bottle washing factory. He vaguely saw a pile of neatly stacked glass bottles shining dazzlingly under the sun. Okay, Dasheng seems to have seen the group of women chasing up to take off Xu De's shorts. Xu De's shorts were about to fall off, and Xu De's shorts fell off.Dasheng smiled silently at this time, he didn’t know why he often guessed about the growth of Xu De’s lower body, he often wanted to pounce on their shorts, but in the end he held back this boring thought, because he was very afraid that they would retaliate. , Come to strip his shorts, he will never let anyone see his private parts.

Only Dasheng himself knows that his man sign grows slowly, no different from the boys who shoot cigarette shells on the street. This is the most secret thing in Dasheng's mind in recent years. Lao Kang, who was carrying the waste paper, saw the fishing girl coming to the pharmacy again. Meggie was standing on the steps of the pharmacy clutching a pencil case, peering at the saleswoman behind the counter, as if undecided whether to go in or not.Lao Kang saw Maggie's face slowly turning around, Mei Dian smiled shyly at him, a beautiful dimple appeared on her cheeks, Lao Kang sighed vaguely in his throat, he felt that the girl playing fisherman It really resembles the female star Hu Die on the screen thirty years ago, and their beauty also exudes a similar paper-like luster.

Would you go to the pharmacy and buy some pills for me?Meiqi opened the pencil case and took out a dark green twenty-cent bill. She looked at Lao Kang with a pleading look, and bought sleeping pills, eight pills for twenty cents. I don't buy medicine, I never buy medicine, Lao Kang looked at the girl suspiciously, and he said, why don't you go in and buy it yourself? They keep questioning me.Majesty glanced at the pharmacy, and then she put the money into Lao Kang's hands in a panic. Majesty lifted her skirt and squatted in front of Lao Kang's paper basket. She said, I beg you, buy me a few pills Pills, I can't sleep, I can fall asleep with sleeping pills.

Lao Kang found some doubts in the girl's eyes, no, I will not buy medicine for you, Lao Kang shook his head resolutely and said, you are at most thirteen or fourteen years old, how can you not sleep well?When I was your age, I worked as an apprentice in Guangji Pharmacy, and I couldn’t wake up every day. Every day, the boss dragged me out of bed with my ears.As Lao Kang was talking, he saw a tall woman in white underwear rushing from the opposite candy store. He recognized her as Dr. Zheng who was giving injections at the joint clinic. It was only then that Lao Kang suddenly remembered that Dr. The daughter-in-law of Xinghuang's family, and the girl next to her who bought sleeping pills is the granddaughter of Mi Xinghuang's family. Zheng Yueqing almost rushed over and grabbed Meiqi's arm. You have not yet grown up, but you have learned how to seek death and life. Zheng Yueqing stomped her feet and said something, and her voice choked up. When the female clerk in the pharmacy ran over Seeing that the faces of both mother and daughter were pale, Majesty was held tightly by her mother, her body was trembling, but her hands were trying to break her mother's arms in vain.The shopgirls said, what's the matter with you mother and daughter?Zheng Yueqing's face was full of tears, without saying anything, he suddenly threw something in his hand on the steps of the pharmacy. It was a medicine bottle. After the bottle was smashed, many white pills were scattered at the feet of the female shop assistants. They watched Zheng Yueqing and her daughter rush across the street in amazement, and finally realized something. Someone picked up a pill and looked at it. Maggie bought sleeping pills these days. A female clerk said, I felt strange that day, why did the girls come to buy sleeping pills?If I had known earlier, I would not have sold it to her. Another female shop assistant said that Maggie was only fourteen years old, and she even had thoughts of suicide at such a young age.How did she know about sleeping pills? Another female shop assistant sighed and said, what do children don't understand now?A girl from my neighbor's family got pregnant at the age of twelve.Lao Kang, who was carrying the waste paper, was still there in a daze, still holding the 20-cent note Maggie gave him in his hand.Lao Kang's favor goes back to the old days habitually. Maggie's grandfather, Boss Huang, walked into the Shou Kang Hall, dusting the rice bran from his robe. Boss Huang leaned on the counter and said, Mr. Kang, give me some sleeping pills.A warm smile flashed across Lao Kang's wrinkled face. He pointed to the backs of the mother and daughter who were leaving in a hurry and said that her grandfather really suffered from insomnia at that time. , There are too many mice to catch, and if they are all caught, they are afraid of coming again. If they can’t sleep well, they will come to Shoukangtang to buy sleeping pills.Lao Kang spread out the banknotes in his hands as he said. At that time, there was a lot of chaos and Western medicines were rare products. People who wanted to die would hang themselves, jump into rivers or crash into trains. Who would buy sleeping pills to seek death? Three female shop assistants squeezed up to look at the money on Lao Kang's palm. They were deaf to Lao Kang's nostalgia, and only cared about the fate of the two cents. This money is Maggie's money for medicine, a female shop assistant asked Old Kang, what are you still holding it for?Why don't you catch up and give it back to others? Lao Kang looked blankly at the distance of Xiangchun Street. The figures of the mother and daughter fishing had disappeared. The twilight had slowly washed away the light and shadow on the gravel road. On the steep concrete slope of the North Gate Bridge, a truck is struggling to pass through the barrier made up of vegetable stalls, bicycles, and crowds. On the other side of the moat, workers are climbing on the ruins of the city wall. They seem to be trying to mount a tweeter. Go to the wall.They have already climbed very high, and the three gray-blue figures are about to be parallel to the farther North Dragon Tower. Why did they put the tweeter on the city wall?Thirty years have passed in a flash of time. After thirty years, the northern part of the city in Lao Kang’s eyes is a little strange, but some things still remain the same. During the transition season between summer and autumn, the top of Beilong Pagoda is still piercing the bloody sunset. The gate of the chemical factory is in the center of Xiangchunshu Street. When the north wind blows along the street, the unpleasant and pungent smell of the chemical factory is poured into the mouths and noses of the residents in the north of the street. It is often winter when every house closes its doors and windows. Residents of Street North therefore seldom complain.But the people on the south of the street are precisely the turn to endure the smell of the chemical plant in the hot summer season. The smell seeps into the window screens of every house with the night breeze, thick and thin, like a pot of decoction boiling beside their pillows Yes, people are often awakened by the strange smell in the nostrils in their sleep. On Toon Tree Street, people often threatened to set fire to the chemical plant, but everyone knew that it was just an expression of resentment. Several families next door come to the factory to make trouble every six months. For example, their well water is polluted and cannot be drunk.The people in the factory felt that it was not a lie, so they connected the water pipe to their yard, and the problem was easily solved.In fact, the riots in this street are also very easy to solve. Boys on the street like to go over the wall to the waste pile of chemical factories to find lead wire or scrap iron, which can be used to make gunpowder guns or just sold to scrap yards, while girls are often surprised when they sneak into the bathroom of the evolution factory to take a bath There is a beautiful flowerbed in front of the bathroom. There are no evening flowers in the flowerbed, but it is full of roses, roses and peonies. All the flowers are bright and huge. The girls carefully touch their petals. The petals seem a little greasy. There is a kind of fat ant hiding in it.It was an astonishing sight. In the thick industrial fume of the chemical plant, such beautiful flowers bloomed, pink, light yellow, white and snowy, and some bold girls picked those flowers. Half-stolen and half-robbed to bring the flowers home.
