Chapter 23 Section 22
The woman shook her head and sighed: "These two idiots don't know how to lead a dog with a rope, and don't even wear a fleece vest in such a cold day. The dog is almost freezing to death. They also said that I slaughtered the dog, so get out of here." I walked back with the bag, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.Xiao Su persuaded me for a while, and then talked about the slaughter of dogs.I said: "Chinese people like to eat dog meat, this seems to be discriminated against, right? People don't eat dogs in the world." Xiao Su said: "Actually, Chinese people also know that eating dog meat is not good. They are all untouchables, but they can’t stand the smell of dog meat.” I said, “Why can foreigners stand it? There is a program on TV, and all foreigners are like fucking gluttons. They know how to eat when they come to China. If you are so greedy, why don’t you eat it? Do you eat dog meat?" Xiao Su said, "I don't know, the foreigners on TV are pretty fake. Besides, it can't be said that foreigners don't eat dogs. What if someone likes to eat it? It's not a matter of taste, but of folk customs. Get used to it, you can’t even let you eat snails.” I thought about it and nodded in agreement with this point of view.Of course, I have never eaten snails, and I can't think of any taste, I just feel a little disgusted, and I didn't expect that I would really love to eat snails in the rest of my life. When we arrived at the door of Xiao Su's house, we saw Lao Yang holding Dai Dai, waiting for us against the cold wind.Lao Yang said: "Dai Dai is in a hurry." Looking at the sack again, he thought the dog had been crushed to death by a car.We went into the yard, let go of the sack, and carried the dog out. Xiao Su got a rope to tie the dog. As for the fleece vest, I had to ask my mother if she would like to weave one for the dog.Dai Dai said to the dog: "You are not good." The dog lay down at her feet in shame. Seeing Dai Dai like this, I thought to myself, it was worth being scolded by an idiot, so I stopped worrying about it.The child is a bit weird, she doesn't play with any toys very much, and puts them aside to watch.Only this dog was the object of her talk.If it gets lost, I'm worried she'll become autistic again.We have to take good care of it, it will make her sad if it dies or loses it.It was later discovered that she had named the dog Wang Wang.The dog quite recognized the name.Sometimes we call it, and we all call it a fool, a scumbag, and a fool. This is actually not its name, but a nickname.I don't know why a dog would need a nickname.
The orphanage was also unreliable. One day when I went to pick up Dai Dai, I found that her hair had been cut in a mess, which was almost a punitive measure.Teacher Lin was not there, and a middle-aged female teacher led the class. She said she couldn't figure out what was going on. Maybe Dai Dai was playing with us for a while, and the orphanage ignored her appearance, so she cut it. It will definitely not be a punishment. Don't think that it is like the British (from the plot), but it is actually because there is no full-time barber, and the teachers cut it themselves. Dai Dai came home with us and looked in front of the mirror for a while.Yang Chi's father joked, "This is ugly." Dai Dai didn't respond to this.This is very strange, the five-year-old girl knows about beauty, and she has taken the initiative to look in the mirror, but she is not sad, as if it is just someone else's hair, she just looked at it out of curiosity. When we were together, she was the most affectionate with Yang Chi's parents, followed by Yang Chi, and me and Xiao Su again.It's been a long time, and we may not have time to go to the orphanage on three weekends. Yang Chi's parents took the bus to pick up the child. Later, they didn't want to be so bumpy, so they simply left the child at home and called the orphanage: " Dai Dai is not coming back today." This is against the rules, but the orphanage has nothing to do with him, it is impossible to send someone to take the child back, so let them handle it. The female graduate student asked us what we were going to do, but we couldn't answer.We knew the child was going to be adopted, but never said it.Yang Chi's father had a good wish: to raise Dai Dai, go to elementary school, middle school, university, find a job, and become a normal girl, similar to Teacher Lin, but there are two things that must never happen again. The pesticide factory, this bastard factory must last less than 20 years, and the second can't go back to work in the orphanage like Lin Hua, because the wages there are too low.According to Yang Chi's father, twenty years from now people will all be in the high-tech development zone, earning wages from foreign-funded enterprises, living in beautiful apartment buildings, driving a car when they go out, and having a nanny to take care of them when they go home.I said that what you are doing is to realize the four modernizations. According to my childhood education, it can be realized in two years.Yang Chi's father said, "Hey, why don't we mention the realization of the four modernizations now?" I said, "Now we're talking about a well-off society." Yang Chi's father said, "Have we realized it?" I said: "The modernization of national defense must have been realized. No one dares to bully our country now. I don't know about the others." Yang Chi's father said: "Yes, even the United States dare not attack us. There's a war." In short, according to this blueprint, there is no need to worry too much.The fly in the ointment is the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, which lasted until 1998 and has not improved. China's problem seems to be not serious. Every day on TV, it is said that we have survived. Soros has nothing to do with us, but it is dangerous enough. It almost made that bastard Dan single-handedly wiped out half of Asia.Everyone sighed while playing mahjong, the small countries in Southeast Asia are lagging behind, they can't do military affairs, and they are not as good as us in economics.We are invincible. From winter to spring, one day we took Dai Dai to the Children's Paradise, where I drove the flying saucer.The flying saucer has not been repaired, it has been more than a year, and it is rusty.I think of orbs.In the summer of 1997, I went to Daicheng University to get my graduation certificate, and I went to find Baozhu by the way. I was told that she appeared once, also to get a diploma, and then left.I once left her my home phone number, but she didn't come to me, God knows where she is. Yang Chi and Xiao Su went to run some errands, and I took Dai Dai to the garden, and suddenly saw a mother and son walking in front of me, they were the ones who cursed me, the flying saucer wouldn't work, and I slipped on the ice, I still remember them.The boy grew up a little, but the girl remained the same.My image was different from before. I glanced at them and planned to pass them by, but unexpectedly the wicked boy recognized me.He said to the woman, "He's the one who flew the flying saucer." "I don't fly a flying saucer, you just fly a flying saucer." I said. "It's okay if you don't talk, I recognize you when you talk," the woman said. "Goodbye." I said, suddenly felt a little itchy, and turned around and said, "Why don't you go to Daicheng Paradise? It's fun there. What's the point of wandering around this ghost place all the time?" The boy said, "You are the ghost, and you will become a ghost." I rubbed my forehead, thinking that I can't talk to this little bastard, it will be bad luck to be cursed by him.Dai Dai suddenly said to the boy, "You're a villain." "I got 100 in every gate at school." The boy said proudly. "Fart, you are a primary school student, and there are only two courses in Chinese and arithmetic in school." I said. "I have learned all the Olympiads!" said the boy. Mathematical Olympiad is nothing, Lao Yang also read it back then, and Olympic Mental Hygiene, and he still sells pesticides when he grows up.Before I could speak, Dai Dai said seriously: "But you're still a badass." The woman said, "Is this child yours?" I said, "It's my daughter." The woman said, "It can't be your daughter." "She doesn't have a father," said the boy. Dai Dai said, "You are two—monsters with big mouths!" I laughed out loud.The woman is very angry.I said to Dai Dai, shout with me, we are not afraid of monsters. "One, two, three, we, don't be afraid, monsters." Dai Dai added: "Monsters with big mouths." We left the pair of monsters and went to the lake in the park to see the scenery.I said to Dai Dai, "You are very powerful." The child didn't understand, and said, "What is so powerful?" I said, "I used to be very afraid of these two people, but now I am not." The child said, "Why?" I said: "Because you are here." We squatted by the lake to watch the fish together. After a while, Lao Yang and Xiao Su came.Yang Chi scolded: "Didn't you play in the children's playground? Why did you come by the lake? You go to make a copy machine, and you can find someone in the future." I said that I am like this, I don't even have a job, and the phone bill at home is not enough. I can't afford to pay, and it's not my turn to do such a fashionable thing as a duplicating machine.Yang Chi picked up the front of his shirt and showed us his new copy machine pinned to his trouser belt. "Now you can find me anytime." "Can you find it in the county seat?" "The county seat can't do it," he said dejectedly, "I can only be tortured in Daicheng." "You are in the county town for eight months of the year, and you have the nerve to say that you can be found anytime."
We wandered in the street with Dai Dai riding on my neck. The child was a bit heavy. After walking for a while, my spine couldn’t bear it. Fortunately, there were three men who took turns carrying it. No child on the whole street enjoyed this kind of treatment.In this way, we met an acquaintance again, Wai Wai. Wai Wai's complexion was not good, and he found out that he was unemployed when he asked.Lao Yang said that the Asian financial crisis was frightening.Wai Wai said with a mournful face, no, a while ago he switched to SONY as a clerk, and there was a Kameda who fell in love with her and wanted to pursue her.Wai Wai suspects that his education is not high, he did not graduate from Waseda University.Kameda-kun, like me, was a bit small-minded, turned his face, and sent Weiwai directly to the workshop, the world-famous electronic product assembly line.Wai Wai finally became a clerk, and now her mother has become a slutty female worker again. Looking at it again, many of the people on this assembly line are undergraduates and college graduates, as if the sinful people have fallen into hell. After climbing up, I can only resign and come out.After such an entangled talk, I have suffered a lot and have deep hatred, and I have the heart to defect to the New Fourth Army.We were dizzy.Wai Wai finally pointed to Dai Dai and asked, "Whose child is this?" "Lao Yang's niece." I didn't want to talk to her, so I lied and planned to slip away.Suddenly I heard a loud shout: "Lu Xiaolu, you are still pestering my sister!" My legs softened, and I saw the crooked brother turn out from the side.I was afraid of him, so I turned around and ran away.The dwarf jumped faster than me, and his foot swept on my ankle, and I kowtowed like a Tibetan believer.Yang Chi was annoyed, and said, "Hey, why did you hit someone?" He walked over to grab the older brother who was going to grab him, and I wanted to remind Lao Yang not to mess with Tai Sui, but I was so depressed that I couldn't speak.Waiwai's elder brother jumped up from the spot, he was 1.6 meters tall, kicked him to a height of 1.8 meters, hit Lao Yang in the face, and also fell down.Xiao Su said: "You're going too far!" The crooked brother kicked the high leg again, Xiao Su took precautions, and retreated quickly, but the short kick was a pair of mandarin duck legs, which could be kicked down like clockwork. Kicked all the way to Tiananmen Square.Xiao Su took the child, feeling scared, first stuffed the child behind her back, got kicked in the face, and sat down on the ground.Only then did I hear the dead mother-in-law shouting: "Stop!" When I stood up, Lao Yang and Xiao Su were sitting on the ground, each with a shoe print on their faces.Dai Dai was already frightened. Wai Wai scolded her brother badly.The dwarf also knew that kicking three people over at once was a bit of a jerk, but he couldn't control his legs when he became happy, so he took out four tickets from his pocket and gave them to us. "The trampoline show, my venue tonight, you must come and see it." Only then did Yang Chi dare to speak, he stroked his chin and asked, "What is a trampoline?" The crooked brother got excited and immediately introduced trampoline sports.We were so ignorant that we thought it was a circus.The crooked brother said, fart, this is a competition event for the next Sydney Olympics. Our country is focusing on cultivating it, and we will win medals.Yang Chi said: "So you are going to participate in the Olympics?" Waiwai's brother said dejectedly: "I have passed the golden age, and now I can only perform in the city. If I had won the Olympic champion a few years earlier, developed." Having said that, we scolded the Sydney Olympics by the way.Damn it, when Beijing lost the Olympic bid, I happened to be in Lao Yang's school. As soon as the news was announced on TV, all the hot water bottles in the boys' dormitory flew out of the window, and I lost.Wai Wai’s elder brother also hates Sydney, but he also said that without the Sydney Olympics, trampoline would be like a circus in China, so he has to thank Sydney.Only he can settle this account. We sent the two immortals away, wiped the shoe prints, and continued to walk around the city. At the downtown entrance, Lao Yang's butt was pinched, he was furious, and when he looked back, he almost cried.It's Senior Sister Shaoxing! "How did you come?" Sister Shaoxing is so damn high-spirited, wearing a professional suit, a navy blue cashmere coat, and a small bag, looking at Yang Chi and me with a smile.We introduced Xiao Su again.Senior sister Shaoxing said to Yang Chi, "I've been away from Shaoxing for a long time. I've been working in sales in a financial software company in Shanghai for almost two years now. I just got promoted to department head. Where do you work now? Are you so stupid?" Yang Chi said, "Gold Medal Salesman of Daicheng Pesticide Factory." "Isn't your father from this factory?" "So am I now." Yang Chi said. Senior sister Shaoxing had something to do, so she was in a hurry to leave, but she walked around Lao Yang patiently and said, "Fuck, mother, Xipi, Fake, why are you selling pesticides?" Yang Chi said, "I I don’t know. The time is not good and the time will never die.” Senior sister Shaoxing looked at her watch and said, “I want to talk about clients today, so I don’t want to talk to you. Whose child is it?” Yang Chi said, “Mine.” Senior sister Shaoxing said : "No, I broke up with you in 1995, and it's only been three years now. How did you come up with such a big child?" Yang Chi said, "It's a long story. You drink tea with me, and I will tell you about the matter." I’ll tell you the truth.” Dai Dai pulled Lao Yang’s sleeve in a timely manner and said, “Father.” Xiao Su and I both laughed. Senior sister Shaoxing was a little angry, and said: "Yang Chi, how many things have you kept from me?" Then she said to Dai Dai: "The girl is so beautiful, call me auntie." Dai Dai said: "Auntie, my father was beaten just now. Senior Sister Shaoxing said: "Your father is often beaten, just get used to it." Pointing to Yang Chi, she said, "I really don't have time to accompany you today. I have your home phone number, but I just can't think of calling you. I'll take your skin off later." She left in a hurry, Yang Chi suddenly slapped his head and chased after her, saying: "I lost the pajamas you gave me." Senior sister Shaoxing said without looking back: "Got it, you are married now, How dare you wear the pajamas I gave you?" Yang Chi stood there and shouted, "I'm not married, I don't even have a woman, I'm a single father!" Many women on the street turned their heads and looked at him with interest.Senior sister Shaoxing turned around, backed up, shook her shoulders and said, "I'll call you." Yang Chi lifted up his clothes, revealing his trouser belt and dirty cotton sweater. Shouting: "I have a BP machine——" Sister Shaoxing smiled, took out a small mobile phone and shook it at him, calling out a series of numbers, which was her number.Both Xiaosu and I wrote it down for Lao Yang. The navy blue cashmere coat flashed by, and the whole city of Dai was gloomy.Lao Yang stood there feeling disappointed until she walked away.We were all exhausted and met too many people this day. I asked Yang Chi, "Are you going to Shanghai?" "What about Dai Dai?" Lao Yang said. I asked Xiaosu again: "Are you going to Beijing?" "I'm not willing to wear Dai." Xiao Su said. I nod.We are still here for the time being, the sky is clear, as if there is no tomorrow.But the shadow of another era has arrived, I have this feeling.
That night, we went to a trampoline show in order to expose Dai De to the world. We walked into the dilapidated urban gymnasium, which looked like a charred pot turned upside down in the old city, and it was chilling to watch.There is a newly built gymnasium in a distant high-tech development zone. I have been there before. The surrounding area is surrounded by wild grass, which has recently become a messy construction site. It is said that a modern community will be born around it.I have a lot of affection for this old gymnasium. I spent my entire teenage years fighting around it, picking up girls, staring in a daze, and sometimes going in to play basketball.It should have been dismantled, leaving nothing left to create a pit in my memory, but because it is too strong and huge, dying and burdening the sports life of hundreds of thousands of people who are about to rush to the new area but cannot run, so For the time being, it has to be reversed here, and no one can tell what its future will be. In the gym, we didn't find Wai Wai.The lights come on.Many years ago, I saw the famous singer Mao Amin performing on stage. The venue was full, and the aisles were full of people. I was in the last row, and I used a plastic telescope to see the blurred and magnified Mao Amin. We sat in the first row, and there were not many people watching the trampoline show. There were only a hundred or so spectators in the audience, and they probably all got internal tickets like me.Later, I felt that the position in the first row was too low, and the child struggled to see it, so I moved to the tenth row.After a while, a host came out, focusing on the origin and development of the trampoline movement. The performance started, the music poured down like a rainstorm, and eight girls in golden bikinis came out spinning hula hoops.They twisted their waists, swayed their thighs, and swayed their necks. Each of them spun at least five hula hoops.Suddenly he shouted, "Ms. Nana, queen of hula hoops and Guinness world record holder, please." A long-haired girl jumped out like a dolphin, with a rosy and satisfied face after orgasm, and pulled three hula hoops from the ground. The circle turned, followed by a fourth and a fifth.Later, she couldn't bend down to hold the hula hoop, so the staff put it on her.She rotates ten around her waist, the golden rooster is independent, five on each arm and leg, and three on her neck.I counted 28 hula hoops, but the staff said that she had turned 32 hula hoops, and said that she could turn 40 hula hoops at most. Yang Chi suddenly said: "I really remember this Nana, who was featured in the newspaper. I heard that she is from an acrobatic troupe. She trained hula hoops since she was a child, and later won the Guinness World Record. I don't know if it is true or not. Anyway, Dad Mom is a beast." "Why beasts?" "Circus troupes and acrobatic troupes have to be trained from childhood. If parents are not so beastly, how can they send their children to learn this?" Yang Chi said. I said, "Don't be too complacent, you two have trained mathematics, physics and chemistry since childhood, and now you are serving the pesticide factory." Yang Chi said, "You are really an out-of-date guy." Xiao Su said, "Actually, what Lu Xiaolu said makes sense." Yang Chi said: "If I didn't study mathematics, physics and chemistry, I would have to hula hoop here now." Xiao Su said: "Nana's parents may also have the same idea. If she doesn't learn to hula hoop, what can she do?" Nana's performance is over, it can be seen that she is very tired, we applaud and encourage Dai Dai to applaud too.There were only four of us applauding in the arena.Nana suddenly ran in front of us, bowed deeply, waved to us, and then bounced backstage lightly.What follows is a series of human somersaults before moving out of four large box springs.The trampoline show has officially started.Two girls in bikinis, two boys in neolithic costumes, jump on the trampoline and do somersaults in the air. To be honest, it's pretty cool. At this time, a peddler came over to sell toys, all of which were plastic guns.Xiao Su said that children can't play with guns, it's too cruel.This kind of talk sounds like bullshit to the Chinese. We play with guns to defend our motherland.Xiao Su said that Americans do not play with guns for children.We said that Dai Dai is a girl, do you think she would go to the United States to rob banks or shoot schools.I bought a red one for my child, it will flash and make a piercing scream.She was pretty good at playing, picked it up, pointed at Xiao Su's head and shot it first.Xiao Su shook her head in pain. The crooked brother is on stage, we finally see him, and the shorty gets on the trampoline, jumping higher and higher.Yang Chi shook his head and said, "I figured out why I didn't dodge his kick. I'm a professional jumper." Waiwai's brother faced us, and every time he took off, he would look at us and say hello.I just saw this person going up and down like a cannonball, completely contrary to everyday life experience, very magical, very funny.Dai Dai suddenly said: "Father, this is the one who kicked you this afternoon." Yang Chi said: "Yes, that's him, isn't he powerful?" Dai Dai said: "I will avenge you." Every time her brother jumped up, she shot him.If it was a real gun, he would have been sent on a ballistic trajectory, and he had already died fifteen or sixteen times.There were only a few spectators in the stadium, and Brother Waiwai could see it clearly. For a moment, I thought he would come running in mid-air and kick all four of us to death. The child is having fun.Now not only Xiao Su shook her head, but even Yang Chi and I were quite worried. If we continue to play like this, she may really become a shooter when she grows up.Although we are rascals, we can't teach a rascal's daughter, she should be a lady. We confiscated her gun, she was a little confused, we said we would give her a doll, she shook her head and said that she didn't like dolls, but guns.I don't want to play with you if I like it, you must play with dolls as a girl!The performances are getting more and more exciting. Now a group of people are rolling in the air. If they are not careful, they will fall to the ground and become disabled.We were dazzled by the sight, and later found that the crooked brother had sneaked off the trampoline and was moving towards us. We hugged Dai Dai and ran away.The child lay on Lao Yang's shoulder and continued to shoot the dwarf.
