Chapter 9 Section VIII
Xiao Su's name is Su Lin, a recent graduate of Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology, and he started working in the factory in July.His father is a native of Daicheng, and his mother is from Jilin. His family is located in Henan, and he is from Beijing.The local snakes at the Daicheng Pesticide Factory were dizzy seeing so many place names. These guys knew the difference between the city and the outside from the first day they were born, and they were extremely sensitive to pick out the accents of the countrymen from the masses. come out, but they can't figure out Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Hebei.In particular, the reputation of Henan people is mainly spread in the north, and Daicheng doesn't know anything about it. The people here hate the Matai town twenty miles away, thinking that it is the place where bandits are born and cannot be cured.
Xiao Su, a native of Henan, is well-educated and polite.The Henan legends I learned later were all told to me by this fellow himself.What he talks about most is all kinds of floods (his father is a water conservancy engineer), dam failures, and tens of thousands of people are gone after a flick.I have never seen any of these.
In the winter of this year, Xiao Su was working in a pesticide factory, and he was a bit lonely. Fortunately, he had a calm personality, unlike Lao Yang and me who would panic when we were idle.The factory laboratory is very quiet, almost no one talks to him from morning to night every day, which is similar to a deaf world, but you can hear the roar of machines from far away, the passing of forklifts, the loading and unloading of raw material barrels, and the boiler room. Steam, steamer whistles on the canal docks.Because of the silence nearby, all the sounds outside became real.To Xiao Su, it was a whisper from another world.
Xiao Su had lunch in the cafeteria, returned to the laboratory building, and fell asleep.He walked downstairs alone to get some air, sat on the steps, and saw a patch of holly, two cedar trees, and an orange house opposite.Baking Su yawned.At this time, a man stumbled out of the orange house, looking panicked, like a thief.Xiao Su is a laboratory technician, and his mission in this life is to observe various chemical reactions. He watched coldly.I saw this man running to the front of the laboratory building, slapped his head, and ran back to the waste warehouse. When he came out again, he had a rice bowl in his hand, and a female administrator pointed at him and cursed: "Fuck you, I will eat you?"
This person is Yang Chi.He ran to the front of the laboratory building again, looked back, and the female administrator had already gone back.Lao Yang took a breath, walked into the laboratory building, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it on.Xiao Su said: "Smoking is not allowed here." Lao Yang said: "This is not a production area." Xiao Su said: "Smoking is not allowed in the laboratory building, you can smoke outside. Are you a new college student? I saw you."
Both of them were fresh graduates recruited by the pesticide factory in 1996. Xiao Su came four months earlier than Lao Yang.Lao Yang glanced at him and said, "When I was playing in this factory, you were still in kindergarten." Xiao Su said, "Oh, amazing. Who was that person chasing you just now?" Lao Yang sighed Said: "That's my childhood sweetheart in the factory."
A few days later, Xiao Su took a bath in the bathroom of the factory. After washing, he found that his newly bought jeans had been stolen, and he had no spare trousers, so he said to the people around him, "Master, can you help me go to the laboratory building?" Take a white coat?" The master glanced at him and said, "A new college student, right? Why don't you even wear a pair of cotton wool trousers?"
Xiao Su said: "It's not very cold these two days. I wear jeans, which are very thick."
The master sneered, and while putting on woolen trousers, he said, "After all, the northerners are not afraid of the cold." Xiao Su thought to herself, you are not very experienced in the world, the northerners are actually afraid of the cold, and they all use heating at home. Like Dai Cheng and the gang who are not afraid of death, shivering at home in the cold winter and holding a hot water bottle?
The master said: "You can go out in briefs and go to the laboratory building, and no one will dare to say anything about you. Otherwise, you can just put on a pair of pants, and I will pretend I didn't see it." Xiao Su is a well-bred person. , I don’t want to wear briefs to walk around the factory at a young age, let alone be a thief.Since I have been staying in the laboratory building these days, there are no acquaintances in the factory, and the acquaintances are all female laboratory technicians who wash upstairs.Then he saw Lao Yang.
Yang Chi was squatting on the concrete seat in briefs and smoking a cigarette, his expression was stiff, with a hint of melancholy.He was in a messy bathhouse, and this melancholy made him look like a man with a bad stomach.This is one of the places Lao Yang is most familiar with, the factory bathhouse, where he not only learned to bathe, but also learned to swim and smoke. People witnessed his development process, from bare skin to thick black hair, he also Witnessed people changing from black to white.This is the factory, and everyone you see can represent themselves.Lao Yang felt his scalp tingle when he thought of his boyhood, youth, middle age, and old age where he had to bathe in this ghostly place.Xiao Su said: "Hello, Yang Chi, can I help you?" Lao Yang nodded and said, "Not only can I help you get the white coat, but I can also help you find the pants."
Yang Chi helped Xiao Su bring the white coat. Now Xiao Su is just like the female laboratory technician in Xia Tian, with white outside and vacuum inside.Lao Yang said: "The person who stole your pants is called San Pao, and he lives upstairs from my house. He is very bad. He not only stole your jeans, but also took away his own work pants, so you can't find a spare pair of long pants." pants."
Xiao Su said: "Forget it, don't pursue it, but I can't go home by bicycle dressed like this."
So he rode with Yang Chi to the Pesticide New Village. On the way, his legs were blown by the wind so that they were about to turn into popsicles, so he borrowed a pair of trousers and put them on.Sanpao was not at home, and Lao Yang knocked on the door of his house. Sanpao's father said, "He is in a relationship, and went to see his girlfriend." Lao Yang left without saying anything.
The next day, Lao Yang and Xiao Su ate in the cafeteria, chatted, and found that they hit it off quite well.At this time, San Pao walked over with the rice bowl in his hand, and he was still wearing the stolen jeans.
Let me briefly introduce that Comrade Sanpao lives in our building. He is Louba and works in the pesticide workshop.Our neighbors for more than ten years, who are a few years older than us, once accumulated deep grievances.Throughout our childhood and adolescence, Lao Yang and I were shitted on our necks by Sanpao, and we were powerless to fight back. When we grew up a bit, we had to flatten Sanpao first to vent our anger.When I was twenty years old, I had a fight with Sanpao and swung the kitchen knife, and I have lived in peace since then.Now it's Lao Yang's turn.
Lao Yang said, "Sanpao, I took someone's pants yesterday and came to look for you, but you are not here."
Sanpao squinted and said, "None of your business."
Lao Yang said, "The owner is sitting in the back."
Sanpao was very angry.On the one hand, it was because Yang Chi overtook Lu Xiaolu in arrogance, on the other hand, wasn't he a college student?It must be very weak.This erroneous impression can only show that Sanpao is a slut who lived in the early 1980s, and he never grew up.Sanpao put down the rice bowl and punched Yang Chi on the nose. According to his experience of more than ten years, Lao Yang should have nosebleeds splashing all over the place and cry on the ground after this punch. The genitals were still fragile, and had become the most sensitive part of his body. When the fist came, it was immediately dodged.Lao Yang was furious, dare to hit me on the nose?
The two got into a fight in the cafeteria. Yang Chi, who had been in college for four years, had already seen big scenes, while San Pao, who had been working in the pesticide workshop all year round, lost his health and was no longer as brave as before.At the end of the fight, Sanpao lay on the ground and screamed: "The college student is beating someone!" The masters who were eating were very angry, and wanted to come over to beat Lao Yang, and the governor shouted: "Don't mind your own business, this college student is also from our factory. The son of an old party member!" The masters said, hey, fight hard, don't let San Pao, this shameless man.Lao Yang punched Sanpao's face more than twenty times, and yelled, "What's the point of beating you? I've even beaten black people!" Everyone couldn't understand, thinking he was talking nonsense, only Xiao Su knew, There are many black international students in the School of Chemical Engineering (from Africa, not the United States), and those who dare to fight with blacks are school bullies.Immediately, he hugged Yang Chi by the waist and dragged back desperately.Lao Yang's father also came, and was bitten by him when he was holding up Sanpao.Anyway, this pair of pants is a three-shot.
A week after entering the factory, they fought in the cafeteria, more powerful than me.Logically speaking, this person should be fired immediately, and Sanpao can also be fired together, and the factory will be quiet.No matter how they say it, they finally made an excuse and thought that it was Lao Yang's father who played a role, but it was not the case.
In the cafeteria that day, not only the master workers but also cadres from various departments watched the fights in the cafeteria. One of them was the deputy factory director who was also in charge of sales. He was from the Northeast. , I probably think our Daicheng folk customs are funny, two men on the road scolded each other for an hour but didn't do anything, and Northeast would have been in the hospital long ago.The deputy factory director felt that the sales department under him was similar. They were all foodies and idiots, and none of them was a general who could stand up to the tank.The sales situation of pesticides is worrisome. Under the market economy, it is necessary to find a new generation of sales talents, at least who can speak pure Mandarin.This time, Yang Chi stood out.
After that, when Lao Yang was working in the factory, the deputy factory manager often came over to talk to him, and found that the boy was quite assertive, eloquent, and open-minded.His theoretical knowledge was terrible, he didn't know anything about plumbing or anything, but he had seen computers and had a minor in international trade in college.This is really a practical talent, it's a pity to be placed in the workshop, so I went to talk about it and transferred him directly to the sales department.
When this news spread to the family, everyone was surprised.My father and Lao Yang's father sighed while playing mahjong: Fuck, such luck, we worked in the factory for 20 years in the workshop, 20 years.A few days later, Lao Yang met Sanpao in the corridor. Sanpao seemed to have completely forgotten about the beating, and patted Yang Chi on the shoulder and said, "You are doing well. Take care of yourself in the future." Lao Yang said, Don't pat your mother's shoulders and legs, I hate this the most.Sanpao patted his ass, and said freely, "As soon as a person is rich, his face changes. When you become the chairman and throw me into the phenol pile, I will not dare to fight back even if I choke to death. You have to be careful." Oh shit."
As a result, Lao Yang suddenly prospered, as if he had won at the starting line, and Super Marley and the like could only sit in the scrap warehouse and watch him go away.
After Xiao Su appeared, he quickly became our best friend. In the past, Lao Yang and I sat in the room boredly to pass the time, discussing the future Gold Coast on the bench in the fantasy orphanage. Suddenly one day, the door opened , A ray of light interrupted our conversation, the angel did not come, and the third child came in and sat next to us.In this case, even if you don't want to play with him, you can't. After getting acquainted, Lao Yang often stroked Xiao Su's neck and said, "It's a pity, such a good person, we won't be here long." I asked him what he meant, and Xiao Su said, "I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and go back to Beijing." Lao Yang said: "Do you regret it? I've never seen a Beijinger in this city." I said, "Aren't you from Henan?" Xiao Su said, "My household registration is from Beijing." Afterwards, Lao Yang reminded me again: "Don't tell anyone about Xiaosu's postgraduate entrance examination or anything else. We all talk about it in the building, and when it comes to the factory, he died an ugly death." I asked him why he died an ugly death.He said: "This is tantamount to treason. Our chairman likes people to be laid off, but he doesn't like others to leave voluntarily." Before Xiaosu appeared in the Pesticide New Village, she looked very miserable. In the early winter weather, she was wearing briefs and a white coat, she looked like a nymphomaniac.My mother and Lao Yang's mother shook their heads together and said that these two living treasures finally met a fellow traveler.Later, I found out that Xiao Su was well-educated and reasonable, and the bad thing was done by San Pao, so I went to the building and talked about it.The girls in this building also think that Xiao Su is good, gentle, well-educated, honest-looking, free from security checks when flying, speaks pure Beijing dialect, and is as crispy and tender as roast duck.When it comes to Beijing dialect, Lao Yang and I also know it. He learned it from his classmates in Beijing at university, and I was taught by the sister of the factory doctor. She has studied in Beijing for several years, but the most important thing between me and Lao Yang is Call all kinds of idiots in Beijing dialect, all kinds of fuck your mother, unlike Xiao Su, who speaks all kinds of honorifics: you, uncle, aunt, eldest sister, old people, young and old, and uncle, your uncle, his uncle of.The girls in the building didn't know it was a curse word.My mother was curious, and when she asked about her background, she found that Xiao Su was the kind of child who had excelled in character and learning since he was a child. He went to key primary schools, key middle schools, and key universities, and every word in his resume was bolded.My mother said: "Su Lin, this child, make progress." The implication is that Lao Yang and I are a bit depraved.After a while, my mother asked Lao Yang again: "Does Su Lin have a girlfriend?" Lao Yang said no, he was still a virgin.My mother praised and said: "Su Lin is such a good boy." Lao Yang said: "I'm not a child anymore, I'm already a young man of twenty-three years old, and there is nothing to be proud of being a virgin." My mother said: "Don't always You are a virgin, don’t you just want to say that you started your sex life early? Where is that girl now?” Lao Yang wiped his tears and said, “It’s been a long time since we’ve been separated.” Xiao Su lives alone in the busiest place in the city, quiet amidst the noise, at the end of a dead end, in a two-story old house with a small courtyard, very leisurely.The house belongs to his cousin, let him borrow it.The only downside is the shade. The sun is shining on the fifteen-story building in front. Standing in the yard and looking up, there is a dark blue sky with light blue clouds floating. It turned out to be a huge glass curtain wall.This place later became our stronghold, and we were finally able to stay away from that hellish new village of pesticides. It was the first time I followed Lao Yang, and when I arrived at the alley, I heard a dog barking. Lao Yang said it was Xiao Su's dog.At that time, there were not many people who kept dogs in the city, and most of the dogs had no certificates. It was very difficult to obtain a dog certificate. When the dog-beating team came, they would beat them to death on the spot and return the dog's body to the owner. The scene was very cruel. .We knocked on the door, and as soon as Xiao Su opened the door, a white Beijing trumpet came running close to the ground, trying to run out, Xiao Su stretched out her foot to stop it, let us in, and quickly closed the door.The dog sniffed around me, stood up excitedly and hugged my leg. It's hard to say I hate dogs, I'm just not used to having a living creature running around on the ground and spinning around my feet.I said: "Xiao Su, you are so leisurely, you live alone, and you raise a dog to relieve your boredom." Xiao Su said: "This is my cousin's dog. She is pregnant and can't keep pets, so let me take care of it." Lao Yang said: "This dog is lecherous, let me handle it." He knelt down and scratched the dog's armpit with one finger.The dog immediately lay down, turned its body over, revealing its flesh-colored belly, its limbs were bent, its tongue was sticking out, and it looked at Lao Yang with extremely expectant eyes.Jingba looks a bit like a human being, and I laughed out loud at this scene.Lao Yang stopped teasing the dog and stood up straight.The dog was a little puzzled, wondering whether you should scratch or not, I turned over.After waiting for a while, feeling that Lao Yang didn't intend to really scratch it, he lay down on his body and shook his head boredly.Lao Yang squatted down again, the dog was overjoyed, and immediately resumed its previous posture and demeanor.Lao Yang stood up again.I said, "This dog has managed to practice some Pavlovian conditioned reflexes, and you are confused." At this time, Lao Yang lit a cigarette, took a big drag, and sprayed the smoke on the dog's face.The dog rolled over and ran away.Lao Yang said regretfully to it: "It would be great to learn how to smoke." Xiao Su said: "This dog was rescued by my cousin. When I was a child, I was burned with a cigarette butt. I was afraid when I saw a cigarette." I said: "This is also a conditioned reflex." Lao Yang said to the dog: " Then I won’t scare you, come on, I’ll scratch you. Really scratch.” But the fear of cigarette butts is obviously more comfortable than scratching, any touch can’t be compared with the imprint in life, the dog huddled under the cabinet and refused to come out up. I said, "Do dogs have names?" Xiao Su said, "No. Would you like to get one?" "I'm too lazy to name a dog." Dogs like Jingba can't guard the door and can't eat, so they are just kept for play.People in Daicheng don’t quite understand this kind of entertainment. They think that only wealthy bourgeois wives in the past can do it. The problem is that it’s been more than ten years since the reform and opening up. Calling others bourgeois seems very backward, and I don’t know how to hate them.People who keep dogs are equivalent to re-learning to be nobles. At that time, there was no decent dog food on the market, and there were no pet hospitals. People didn’t even know how to walk their dogs. Get vaccinated.To put it bluntly, they are all raised by Hu, and many of them died.Some knowledgeable people went out to walk their dogs, and were killed or seized by the dog-beating team—whether they didn’t walk. Xiao Su doesn't like pets herself, and she brings her a dog purely because she lives in her cousin's house.Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is to release the dog from the cage and let it find a place to defecate (a dog can learn to defecate, just like a human being admitted to a bachelor’s degree), Xiao Su sat in front of the gas stove hungry , use a stainless steel lunch box to cook for the dog, usually some pig offal, but also meat sauce, add some rice.The dog food was delicious, and Xiao Su was sleepy and hungry, wishing she could eat a spoonful of it too.After all this was done, he rode his bicycle to the pesticide factory, ate a deep-fried dough stick on the way, and let the dog wander lonely at home.When I go home in the evening, the dog food must be eaten up, and the dog is so hungry that he runs around. The first thing to do is to cook for it, followed by cleaning up the excrement, and then it is his turn to eat by himself.Walking the dog is out of the question.Dogs that haven’t been walked for a long time are said to be mentally ill, manic or cowardly, but Xiao Su’s dog looks so-so and healthy, and the lewd gestures under our fingers are more like pleasure than psychopathy. Xiao Su usually goes to work on time, and endures this rhythm of life like a mechanical gear. On weekends, he will become another person, sleeping late, eating out, and not wanting to move.Dogs can't do it, it doesn't have the concept of weekends, and every seven o'clock it wakes up Xiao Su by barking wildly.At this time, Xiao Su will show another side hidden deep in his heart (in fact, it is not hidden deeply), and he becomes violent. One day we went to find Xiao Su, and heard him beating the dog, and the barking of the dog was indescribable.Opening the door and going in, Lao Yang fished out the dog from under the cabinet, and gently accused Xiao Su: "How can you beat the dog?" Xiao Su said, "The beating wasn't very hard..." Lao Yang said: "You are dishonest. You can hear screams on the street, and those who don't know think you are raping women." Xiao Su said, "Your metaphor is too vicious." Lao Yang said, "Don't beat the dog in the future." Xiao Su said that the thing was like this, the dog was quite sensible at first, but it suddenly became funny one day, and it urinated in Xiao Su's sneakers.It is true that the sneakers can be washed, but Xiaosu’s house is shaded and there is no sun in winter, so it takes a long time to dry.The water was cold in winter, and he didn't want to wash the sneakers, and the thing couldn't be washed in a washing machine. After repeated consideration, it was extremely troublesome, so he took revenge on it, kicked it, and it screamed. Lao Yang said: "So your mood fluctuates with the dog's IQ, right?" Xiao Su said, "Fuck me." From then on, Xiao Su stopped beating the dog, and changed to scolding the dog, using all kinds of Beijing movies to scold.Lao Yang and I looked at each other, thinking this guy is usually very elegant, how can he be so scolding?It's incredible.Another time, we went to find him and saw him running wildly in the street wearing cotton wool pants. It turned out that he was chasing a dog. He opened the door to take out the garbage, and the dog ran out after him. We chased the dog together on bicycles, and he was so happy to run, his short legs swung up, and he flew straight forward on the sidewalk, completely ignoring what was in front of him.As a dog, he remembers stopping under a certain tree, kicking up on his hind legs, peeing, and running on.People on the street watched us yelling and catching dogs, and laughed one by one.I thought to myself, what's so funny, is it boring, this dog is not looking for freedom, it is looking for death in the street, so it is not boring, you have to catch it.
Back to Pesticide New Village to talk about the trend of 1996. Suddenly, people started to raise dogs. The mass layoffs were not some impromptu social movement. To put it bluntly, it was a concentrated expression of contradictions. It was far more difficult than people expected. At first, these people thought it was a long vacation.After the two-year holiday, the new villages in this area were full of grief. The pesticide factory cut off one-third of the workers according to the quota. The factory, and the factory where the factory manager fled with his family, are full of laid-off workers.In such a big environment, when someone sees someone raising a dog, they will inevitably be envious and angry, thinking that it is a small group of rich people showing off their wealth.After investigation, it was found that those who keep dogs are basically laid-off. The poorer they are, the more they love dogs, which is incomprehensible.What I hate the most is Lao Wan's wife upstairs. She is holding a cute Spitz and says she bought it for hundreds of dollars.She herself has been laid off, and she will renege on her debts if she loses in a hurry in playing mahjong, but every time she talks about the worth of the fox dog (and the posture of holding the fox dog), she seems to be a rich wife. Xiao Su said that the relationship between people and dogs is innate, some people love dogs, some people hate dogs, and it does not involve the gap between rich and poor.In addition, fox dogs are not necessarily more expensive than grass dogs. Fox dogs are small dogs and eat less.Lao Yang said, damn it, grass dogs can eat shit.Xiao Su said, this is not a village, who dares to raise a dog that eats shit? At that time, Mrs. Wan was playing mahjong, putting fox dogs on her knees, losing money, and complaining about the hardships of life. She had been laid off for two years and had no means of living.Others say that when a job is introduced to you, you refuse to go.Mrs. Wan said that if she goes to work, no one will take care of the dog. The dog is really good and it is her life.Others said, your family is in such a bad situation, and you still miss the dog, so you must be sick.Mrs. Wan said fiercely, even if I go to prostitute, I will raise it, so you all shut up.So everyone shut up and took her money hard.When she left the table and left after losing a lot, people said viciously, this woman is so fucking poor, I have never heard her say that she wants to be a prostitute for her daughter, but she dares to speak big words for a dog. It seems that her daughter only I can sell myself. For a while, dogs were caught everywhere in and outside the city, no matter whether they had owners or not, they were all strangled by the neck and beaten to death.The neighborhood committee came downstairs to ambush Mrs. Wan, but she didn't know it, and she came down with a dog in her arms. Shi Shiran walked out of the building, and was suddenly controlled by someone.There is no need for a dog cover to deal with small dogs. It is very easy to swing the hind legs twice on the steps, and the dog will say goodbye.This approach is said to be forced. I used to want to capture dogs alive and send them to the suburbs for unified treatment, but this would cause fierce resistance from dog owners, and sometimes even kill people. Therefore, execution on the spot is a more reasonable way. Anyway, these Dogs are to be executed.People watched indifferently. Killing chickens will arouse public anger, because chickens are our food, and there is no reason to oppose killing dogs. Throughout the ages, the people who slaughtered dogs were either bandits or emperors and generals.Mrs. Wan passed out stiffly. During those few days, we were all at Xiaosu’s house, guarding the dog.Xiaosu's dog barks every morning. The houses in the city are old and the sound insulation is not good, which wakes up the neighbors.Xiao Su said that someone had made an informant, and the person in charge of the area came to investigate the situation, which was considered polite, and asked him to send the dog away, or he would use it for surgery. It is very difficult to silence the dog, it always barks in the morning, the purpose is to wake up Xiaosu and cook for it.The problem is, it also barks while cooking, and can't wait.At this time, you must scratch it with your hands, and then feed it some ham sausage.Those few days the dog was really happy. I hid in the house during the day, closed the door tightly, and scratched it from time to time. In the afternoon, Lao Yang took time off to take care of it, and at night, it was Xiao Su.In the morning, before dawn, we got up, one took it to defecate, one cooked for it, the other scratched it, and fed it snacks by the way.The emperor's dog is no more than this kind of treatment.At first, I thought it was out of friendship that I was willing to make such a big contribution to the dog. Later, I found that I also enjoyed it. If someone dared to kill a dog, I would fight him with a kitchen knife.After a week of such spoofing, I finally couldn’t stand it anymore. When I saw a person in a sweater, I wanted to stretch out my finger to scratch him, and that dog, it was spoiled by us in a short time. As long as it sees me and Lao Yang, it will Turning over to signal us to scratch it, but we didn't move, it raised its head and barked eagerly at us a few times, full of lust, and completely turned into a fucking dog.After the dog-catching trend passed, it was still like this, and no one paid attention to it. It lay on its back at our feet, with its legs spread apart, looking like a pervert. We used our feet to move it to the bottom of the cabinet.It came out again and again, with a huge question in its eyes: "Why don't you scratch it anymore, aren't you very kind to me?" I can't explain it to it in human language, if I can beat it, It can make it wake up, but I can't hit the dog, I can only stretch out my fingers to scratch myself, trying to teach it to touch itself.Dogs, as we all know, can't learn this, and looked at my fingers resentfully.I also thought bitterly, as a canine animal, I really can’t understand our advanced primates. We have hands, can touch ourselves, learn to use tools by the way, and then have to go to work.I also have to go to work, I've been loitering for more than a year, and my whole body is getting moldy.
After Xiao Su appeared, he quickly became our best friend. In the past, Lao Yang and I sat in the room boredly to pass the time, discussing the future Gold Coast on the bench in the fantasy orphanage. Suddenly one day, the door opened , A ray of light interrupted our conversation, the angel did not come, and the third child came in and sat next to us.In this case, even if you don't want to play with him, you can't. After getting acquainted, Lao Yang often stroked Xiao Su's neck and said, "It's a pity, such a good person, we won't be here long." I asked him what he meant, and Xiao Su said, "I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and go back to Beijing." Lao Yang said: "Do you regret it? I've never seen a Beijinger in this city." I said, "Aren't you from Henan?" Xiao Su said, "My household registration is from Beijing." Afterwards, Lao Yang reminded me again: "Don't tell anyone about Xiaosu's postgraduate entrance examination or anything else. We all talk about it in the building, and when it comes to the factory, he died an ugly death." I asked him why he died an ugly death.He said: "This is tantamount to treason. Our chairman likes people to be laid off, but he doesn't like others to leave voluntarily." Before Xiaosu appeared in the Pesticide New Village, she looked very miserable. In the early winter weather, she was wearing briefs and a white coat, she looked like a nymphomaniac.My mother and Lao Yang's mother shook their heads together and said that these two living treasures finally met a fellow traveler.Later, I found out that Xiao Su was well-educated and reasonable, and the bad thing was done by San Pao, so I went to the building and talked about it.The girls in this building also think that Xiao Su is good, gentle, well-educated, honest-looking, free from security checks when flying, speaks pure Beijing dialect, and is as crispy and tender as roast duck.When it comes to Beijing dialect, Lao Yang and I also know it. He learned it from his classmates in Beijing at university, and I was taught by the sister of the factory doctor. She has studied in Beijing for several years, but the most important thing between me and Lao Yang is Call all kinds of idiots in Beijing dialect, all kinds of fuck your mother, unlike Xiao Su, who speaks all kinds of honorifics: you, uncle, aunt, eldest sister, old people, young and old, and uncle, your uncle, his uncle of.The girls in the building didn't know it was a curse word.My mother was curious, and when she asked about her background, she found that Xiao Su was the kind of child who had excelled in character and learning since he was a child. He went to key primary schools, key middle schools, and key universities, and every word in his resume was bolded.My mother said: "Su Lin, this child, make progress." The implication is that Lao Yang and I are a bit depraved.After a while, my mother asked Lao Yang again: "Does Su Lin have a girlfriend?" Lao Yang said no, he was still a virgin.My mother praised and said: "Su Lin is such a good boy." Lao Yang said: "I'm not a child anymore, I'm already a young man of twenty-three years old, and there is nothing to be proud of being a virgin." My mother said: "Don't always You are a virgin, don’t you just want to say that you started your sex life early? Where is that girl now?” Lao Yang wiped his tears and said, “It’s been a long time since we’ve been separated.” Xiao Su lives alone in the busiest place in the city, quiet amidst the noise, at the end of a dead end, in a two-story old house with a small courtyard, very leisurely.The house belongs to his cousin, let him borrow it.The only downside is the shade. The sun is shining on the fifteen-story building in front. Standing in the yard and looking up, there is a dark blue sky with light blue clouds floating. It turned out to be a huge glass curtain wall.This place later became our stronghold, and we were finally able to stay away from that hellish new village of pesticides. It was the first time I followed Lao Yang, and when I arrived at the alley, I heard a dog barking. Lao Yang said it was Xiao Su's dog.At that time, there were not many people who kept dogs in the city, and most of the dogs had no certificates. It was very difficult to obtain a dog certificate. When the dog-beating team came, they would beat them to death on the spot and return the dog's body to the owner. The scene was very cruel. .We knocked on the door, and as soon as Xiao Su opened the door, a white Beijing trumpet came running close to the ground, trying to run out, Xiao Su stretched out her foot to stop it, let us in, and quickly closed the door.The dog sniffed around me, stood up excitedly and hugged my leg. It's hard to say I hate dogs, I'm just not used to having a living creature running around on the ground and spinning around my feet.I said: "Xiao Su, you are so leisurely, you live alone, and you raise a dog to relieve your boredom." Xiao Su said: "This is my cousin's dog. She is pregnant and can't keep pets, so let me take care of it." Lao Yang said: "This dog is lecherous, let me handle it." He knelt down and scratched the dog's armpit with one finger.The dog immediately lay down, turned its body over, revealing its flesh-colored belly, its limbs were bent, its tongue was sticking out, and it looked at Lao Yang with extremely expectant eyes.Jingba looks a bit like a human being, and I laughed out loud at this scene.Lao Yang stopped teasing the dog and stood up straight.The dog was a little puzzled, wondering whether you should scratch or not, I turned over.After waiting for a while, feeling that Lao Yang didn't intend to really scratch it, he lay down on his body and shook his head boredly.Lao Yang squatted down again, the dog was overjoyed, and immediately resumed its previous posture and demeanor.Lao Yang stood up again.I said, "This dog has managed to practice some Pavlovian conditioned reflexes, and you are confused." At this time, Lao Yang lit a cigarette, took a big drag, and sprayed the smoke on the dog's face.The dog rolled over and ran away.Lao Yang said regretfully to it: "It would be great to learn how to smoke." Xiao Su said: "This dog was rescued by my cousin. When I was a child, I was burned with a cigarette butt. I was afraid when I saw a cigarette." I said: "This is also a conditioned reflex." Lao Yang said to the dog: " Then I won’t scare you, come on, I’ll scratch you. Really scratch.” But the fear of cigarette butts is obviously more comfortable than scratching, any touch can’t be compared with the imprint in life, the dog huddled under the cabinet and refused to come out up. I said, "Do dogs have names?" Xiao Su said, "No. Would you like to get one?" "I'm too lazy to name a dog." Dogs like Jingba can't guard the door and can't eat, so they are just kept for play.People in Daicheng don’t quite understand this kind of entertainment. They think that only wealthy bourgeois wives in the past can do it. The problem is that it’s been more than ten years since the reform and opening up. Calling others bourgeois seems very backward, and I don’t know how to hate them.People who keep dogs are equivalent to re-learning to be nobles. At that time, there was no decent dog food on the market, and there were no pet hospitals. People didn’t even know how to walk their dogs. Get vaccinated.To put it bluntly, they are all raised by Hu, and many of them died.Some knowledgeable people went out to walk their dogs, and were killed or seized by the dog-beating team—whether they didn’t walk. Xiao Su doesn't like pets herself, and she brings her a dog purely because she lives in her cousin's house.Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is to release the dog from the cage and let it find a place to defecate (a dog can learn to defecate, just like a human being admitted to a bachelor’s degree), Xiao Su sat in front of the gas stove hungry , use a stainless steel lunch box to cook for the dog, usually some pig offal, but also meat sauce, add some rice.The dog food was delicious, and Xiao Su was sleepy and hungry, wishing she could eat a spoonful of it too.After all this was done, he rode his bicycle to the pesticide factory, ate a deep-fried dough stick on the way, and let the dog wander lonely at home.When I go home in the evening, the dog food must be eaten up, and the dog is so hungry that he runs around. The first thing to do is to cook for it, followed by cleaning up the excrement, and then it is his turn to eat by himself.Walking the dog is out of the question.Dogs that haven’t been walked for a long time are said to be mentally ill, manic or cowardly, but Xiao Su’s dog looks so-so and healthy, and the lewd gestures under our fingers are more like pleasure than psychopathy. Xiao Su usually goes to work on time, and endures this rhythm of life like a mechanical gear. On weekends, he will become another person, sleeping late, eating out, and not wanting to move.Dogs can't do it, it doesn't have the concept of weekends, and every seven o'clock it wakes up Xiao Su by barking wildly.At this time, Xiao Su will show another side hidden deep in his heart (in fact, it is not hidden deeply), and he becomes violent. One day we went to find Xiao Su, and heard him beating the dog, and the barking of the dog was indescribable.Opening the door and going in, Lao Yang fished out the dog from under the cabinet, and gently accused Xiao Su: "How can you beat the dog?" Xiao Su said, "The beating wasn't very hard..." Lao Yang said: "You are dishonest. You can hear screams on the street, and those who don't know think you are raping women." Xiao Su said, "Your metaphor is too vicious." Lao Yang said, "Don't beat the dog in the future." Xiao Su said that the thing was like this, the dog was quite sensible at first, but it suddenly became funny one day, and it urinated in Xiao Su's sneakers.It is true that the sneakers can be washed, but Xiaosu’s house is shaded and there is no sun in winter, so it takes a long time to dry.The water was cold in winter, and he didn't want to wash the sneakers, and the thing couldn't be washed in a washing machine. After repeated consideration, it was extremely troublesome, so he took revenge on it, kicked it, and it screamed. Lao Yang said: "So your mood fluctuates with the dog's IQ, right?" Xiao Su said, "Fuck me." From then on, Xiao Su stopped beating the dog, and changed to scolding the dog, using all kinds of Beijing movies to scold.Lao Yang and I looked at each other, thinking this guy is usually very elegant, how can he be so scolding?It's incredible.Another time, we went to find him and saw him running wildly in the street wearing cotton wool pants. It turned out that he was chasing a dog. He opened the door to take out the garbage, and the dog ran out after him. We chased the dog together on bicycles, and he was so happy to run, his short legs swung up, and he flew straight forward on the sidewalk, completely ignoring what was in front of him.As a dog, he remembers stopping under a certain tree, kicking up on his hind legs, peeing, and running on.People on the street watched us yelling and catching dogs, and laughed one by one.I thought to myself, what's so funny, is it boring, this dog is not looking for freedom, it is looking for death in the street, so it is not boring, you have to catch it.
Back to Pesticide New Village to talk about the trend of 1996. Suddenly, people started to raise dogs. The mass layoffs were not some impromptu social movement. To put it bluntly, it was a concentrated expression of contradictions. It was far more difficult than people expected. At first, these people thought it was a long vacation.After the two-year holiday, the new villages in this area were full of grief. The pesticide factory cut off one-third of the workers according to the quota. The factory, and the factory where the factory manager fled with his family, are full of laid-off workers.In such a big environment, when someone sees someone raising a dog, they will inevitably be envious and angry, thinking that it is a small group of rich people showing off their wealth.After investigation, it was found that those who keep dogs are basically laid-off. The poorer they are, the more they love dogs, which is incomprehensible.What I hate the most is Lao Wan's wife upstairs. She is holding a cute Spitz and says she bought it for hundreds of dollars.She herself has been laid off, and she will renege on her debts if she loses in a hurry in playing mahjong, but every time she talks about the worth of the fox dog (and the posture of holding the fox dog), she seems to be a rich wife. Xiao Su said that the relationship between people and dogs is innate, some people love dogs, some people hate dogs, and it does not involve the gap between rich and poor.In addition, fox dogs are not necessarily more expensive than grass dogs. Fox dogs are small dogs and eat less.Lao Yang said, damn it, grass dogs can eat shit.Xiao Su said, this is not a village, who dares to raise a dog that eats shit? At that time, Mrs. Wan was playing mahjong, putting fox dogs on her knees, losing money, and complaining about the hardships of life. She had been laid off for two years and had no means of living.Others say that when a job is introduced to you, you refuse to go.Mrs. Wan said that if she goes to work, no one will take care of the dog. The dog is really good and it is her life.Others said, your family is in such a bad situation, and you still miss the dog, so you must be sick.Mrs. Wan said fiercely, even if I go to prostitute, I will raise it, so you all shut up.So everyone shut up and took her money hard.When she left the table and left after losing a lot, people said viciously, this woman is so fucking poor, I have never heard her say that she wants to be a prostitute for her daughter, but she dares to speak big words for a dog. It seems that her daughter only I can sell myself. For a while, dogs were caught everywhere in and outside the city, no matter whether they had owners or not, they were all strangled by the neck and beaten to death.The neighborhood committee came downstairs to ambush Mrs. Wan, but she didn't know it, and she came down with a dog in her arms. Shi Shiran walked out of the building, and was suddenly controlled by someone.There is no need for a dog cover to deal with small dogs. It is very easy to swing the hind legs twice on the steps, and the dog will say goodbye.This approach is said to be forced. I used to want to capture dogs alive and send them to the suburbs for unified treatment, but this would cause fierce resistance from dog owners, and sometimes even kill people. Therefore, execution on the spot is a more reasonable way. Anyway, these Dogs are to be executed.People watched indifferently. Killing chickens will arouse public anger, because chickens are our food, and there is no reason to oppose killing dogs. Throughout the ages, the people who slaughtered dogs were either bandits or emperors and generals.Mrs. Wan passed out stiffly. During those few days, we were all at Xiaosu’s house, guarding the dog.Xiaosu's dog barks every morning. The houses in the city are old and the sound insulation is not good, which wakes up the neighbors.Xiao Su said that someone had made an informant, and the person in charge of the area came to investigate the situation, which was considered polite, and asked him to send the dog away, or he would use it for surgery. It is very difficult to silence the dog, it always barks in the morning, the purpose is to wake up Xiaosu and cook for it.The problem is, it also barks while cooking, and can't wait.At this time, you must scratch it with your hands, and then feed it some ham sausage.Those few days the dog was really happy. I hid in the house during the day, closed the door tightly, and scratched it from time to time. In the afternoon, Lao Yang took time off to take care of it, and at night, it was Xiao Su.In the morning, before dawn, we got up, one took it to defecate, one cooked for it, the other scratched it, and fed it snacks by the way.The emperor's dog is no more than this kind of treatment.At first, I thought it was out of friendship that I was willing to make such a big contribution to the dog. Later, I found that I also enjoyed it. If someone dared to kill a dog, I would fight him with a kitchen knife.After a week of such spoofing, I finally couldn’t stand it anymore. When I saw a person in a sweater, I wanted to stretch out my finger to scratch him, and that dog, it was spoiled by us in a short time. As long as it sees me and Lao Yang, it will Turning over to signal us to scratch it, but we didn't move, it raised its head and barked eagerly at us a few times, full of lust, and completely turned into a fucking dog.After the dog-catching trend passed, it was still like this, and no one paid attention to it. It lay on its back at our feet, with its legs spread apart, looking like a pervert. We used our feet to move it to the bottom of the cabinet.It came out again and again, with a huge question in its eyes: "Why don't you scratch it anymore, aren't you very kind to me?" I can't explain it to it in human language, if I can beat it, It can make it wake up, but I can't hit the dog, I can only stretch out my fingers to scratch myself, trying to teach it to touch itself.Dogs, as we all know, can't learn this, and looked at my fingers resentfully.I also thought bitterly, as a canine animal, I really can’t understand our advanced primates. We have hands, can touch ourselves, learn to use tools by the way, and then have to go to work.I also have to go to work, I've been loitering for more than a year, and my whole body is getting moldy.
