Chapter 002 Our brothers of 305
Lu Yuan called in the guard room and made an appointment with Shao Gang, Pan Dahai and the others to have lunch in the old place to celebrate their jobs.
The old place Lu Yuan mentioned is a small restaurant at the entrance of their school. The owner, Pang Ge, is from Sichuan. The dishes are not fried well, but he is very generous. Every time he checks out, he either takes a fraction of the bill or gives them two to listen to Coke. After eating for so many years, Lu Yuan and the others have had a relationship.
When I was studying, my monthly living expenses were completely lost in advance and I had no food, my 305 dormitory was on a lot of credit at Fat Brother, and it was called signing a contract.
In 2002, there was no subway in Hangzhou yet, so you had to travel either by bus or rent. Lu Yuan looked at his deflated wallet and said, "Okay, save the money and treat them to dinner."
Their school is in the Cangqian Campus, and it takes at least one and a half hours to transport from Hangzhou San Cotton Factory to Cangqian Community.
Fortunately, there is a bus stop here at Hangzhou San Cotton Factory, and there are many round-trip buses. Lu Yuan changed his comfortable clothes when he got home, and just happened to catch a bus.
When he sat at Cangqian Community Station, it was already past twelve o'clock noon. When he arrived at Brother Fat, there were not many people eating. After all, the school was about to take a holiday, and the business naturally became much weaker.
Brother Fat is a bald fat man in his forties. In addition to being his boss, he also fucks a big spoon by himself. When he saw Lu Yuan coming into the restaurant, he greeted him enthusiastically, pointed to the upstairs, and smiled: "201 box. Today, Brother Fat is cooking for you a few dishes."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's like you have a second cook. If you have a second cook, your cooking will still be so unpalatable in recent years? Fat pot!"
"Cao, your mouth is worse than Pan Dahai."
Fat brother kicked Lu Yuan's ass and cursed with a smile: "They are all here, go up, I'll come up and have a drink with your brothers later."
Lu Yuan said ok and went up to the second floor.
When he pushed open the door of the private room on the second floor, Pan Dahai and Ma George were chatting about the World Cup these two days. Shao Gang leaned against the window, spreading his hands with his newspaper and was carefully reading the newspaper.
Lu Yuan found that Shao Gang was wearing a formal dress today, with big leather shoes, white shirt and black trousers, and mousse-fitting hair, and shiny hairstyle.
Lu Yuan walked over and snatched the newspaper that Shao Gang was reading, teasing me: "Damn, Shao Gang, celebrate my job, don't you have to dress so grandly, right?"
"Get out, who celebrates you? I'm going to go to the company to report this afternoon. I'll have a meal for you." Shao Gang took back the newspaper, folded it, and found a seat to sit down.
Lu Yuan knew that Shao Gang had found a furniture company before, which specializes in selling polycrystalline silicon solar panel equipment. He has been calling for environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly over the years, so the market conditions of polycrystalline silicon solar panels are quite good.
Shao Gang had an interview last week and has been waiting for notifications since then. Today, the company's personnel department officially notified him to join the company.
"I didn't expect that today we are 305, we are in double happiness." Lu Yuan was happy for Shao Gang and said to the two guys who were still talking about the ball, "Hi, hey, stop talking, you two, can you be a meal for the World Cup, can you pay you two?"
"Yuanzi, you are still a hardcore fan. What about the iron-core's awareness? Can football be compared with salary? Are we talking about football? It's love! You are a vulgar person!" Pan Dahai deserves his name, his body is wide and fat like Dahai, he cut a fog of hair, and his scalp is almost hanging outside. In Lu Yuan's words, in a few years, he will have a few more pounds of roundness. Pan Dahai put on a jacket, and then a pair of cloth shoes that they had grown from Beijing inlines, and then a bunch of greasy and shiny small-leafed red sandalwood on his hand. Wherever he goes, he talks about his ancestors and wherever he goes, and then he talks about culture. That cliff is a good liar.
I sat cross-legged there on the TV and recommended the old men and mothers in front of the TV, such as the ant god, red hair medicinal wine, etc., so I must fool you.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes to Pan Dahai and said, "Can we working-class children compete with you? You have graduated and will go back to Beijing to rely on your parents in a few days. Where are we? We still have to fight in Hangzhou to achieve a well-off life as soon as possible!"
"Damn, you are getting poorer now, Lu Yuan. Who is going back to rely on your parents? I am going back to inherit my ancestral property. Next time I can't bear to come to Beijing, and I can still see me attracting customers at Beijing West Railway Station."
Pan Dahai is from Beijing. When his father was young, he was very smart. He caught the spring breeze of reform and opening up to the north. He first drove a minibus, then drove a taxi. After more than ten or twenty years of hard work, he bought a taxi business in Beijing. Therefore, Pan Dahai is the richest one in their 305s, and is also the target of the other three of them often beat the rich.
"Shao Gang will move out tomorrow. Brother Hai, please leave again in two days. The entire 305 dormitory is empty, and I am the only one left." Ma Zhuzhi said with some melancholy.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "George, you won't have a few days left. I guess the dormitory manager will drive people away as soon as the World Cup is over. Have you figured it out? Should I go back to Shanghai to spend some time with your mother, or stay in Hangzhou to find a job first?"
"My mother asked me to go back to Shanghai, but I want to stay in Hangzhou. Brother Yuan, please help me with ideas?" Ma Zhuzhi was a little confused.
Ma Georgia is the youngest in the 305 dormitory. By age, Shao Gang is in 80 and is the eldest, Pan Dahai and Lu Yuan are both in 81, second and third, while Ma Georgia is in 82 and fourth.
The situation of Ma Zhuzhi and Lu Yuan is different. Lu Yuan is local, Pan Dahai is from Beijing, and Shao Gang is from the mountainous area in the southwest. Although Shao Gang and his family are in the countryside, they are all compatriots from the mainland.
Ma Zhuzhi is different. His father is the first Taiwanese who has noticed business opportunities since our country implemented the reform and opening up policy and started factories from Taiwan to the mainland. You should know that our domestic policies for Taiwanese compatriots have always been very good, especially those like his father who responded to the first call.
His mother is the factory flower in his father's factory. The next one is Qiong Yao-style plot. His mother and his father get along, but his father has his own family in Taiwan and is a married man. So from the day when Ma Georgia was born, he was destined to be a tragedy.
He has never enjoyed the family happiness of his parents being together since he was a child. In the school file, the father column has passed away. Even the name Ma George is his mother's surname, plus his father's English name, as a symbolic meaning.
When he was ten years old, his father returned to Taiwan and died in a car accident, without even leaving a will. However, it seems that Taiwan has noticed the existence of Ma Georgia and his mother. They brought a group of family members to the mainland across the ocean, sold the mainland factories, and ended the only connection between Ma Georgia and his father.
Ma Georgius didn't know what his mother had talked to his father's relatives, and what kind of compensation the other party gave him. In the end, he only remembered that his mother told him that from now on, his surname was Ma, his father had passed away, and only his mother was.
However, although Ma Georgia grew up in a single-parent family, fortunately, her mother is a great woman and gave him a loving growth since she was a child. So Ma Georgia did not think she was an illegitimate child, but was just a dwarf. Especially in recent years, the social atmosphere and people's thoughts have been greatly liberated, and our society is full of tolerance and understanding.
However, it is precisely because it is a single-parent family that Ma Ma raised Ma Georg alone with hard work. Therefore, in addition to her strong maternal love, she also has majestic patriarchal power for Ma Georgia, so Ma Georgia has always had a natural fear of her mother.
However, this time after graduation, he wanted to challenge his mother's authority.
...
At this time, the waiter had almost finished the dishes. Lu Yuan asked everyone to sit down, and he chose the opposite door position himself. Because of the agreement, this position was responsible for paying.
The waiter brought a bottle of beer and said it was given by their boss.
When Pan Dahai heard this, he grinned and said, "I said the fat man was so nauseous. Every time the four of us came, we either gave us a bottle of beer or two of Coke. How could we divide these four people? This grandson just thought we would buy wine and drinks."
"Hahaha... Fat Brother's business is so cute."
Lu Yuan smiled and waved to the waiter, saying, "Take us a snowflake."
"The big green stick in snowflakes is good, and the cowards are happy. No matter how you drink it, you won't get drunk." Pan Dahai said with a smile.
Shao Gang called the waiter and asked him to take a report from Coke and he was going to the new company in the afternoon, so he didn't dare to drink.
Waiting for the food and drinks to come, Lu Yuan suggested: "In the four years of college, we are as close as brothers. We are about to graduate now. How many brothers, let's go?"
"Go one!"
"Dry!"
"Come on, drink one!"
From the freshman year to now, the four of them have really missed classes together, one has played football, played nightclubs together, fought together, and even made plans to pick up girls.
Not a real brother, but better than a real brother.
Lu Yuan felt that this kind of relationship would never happen again in this life. Life was only once.
Now that we are going to separate, it is too light to say that we can't bear to leave, but it is not heavy at all!
After some cups and cups, the wind blew the clouds. Fat Brother also came up with a bottle of beer and wanted to toast their brothers, saying that he was thanking them for taking care of their business over the past few years.
Lu Yuan smiled and said that it was not so much that they took care of Fat Brother's business, but rather that Fat Brother was righteous and helped them survive countless days of food cuts. He said that Fat Brother's cooking was unpalatable, but who is not unpalatable in the restaurants around the university? Sometimes, when you can't help but come to Fat Brother's house for dinner, the food is no longer a meal, but a relationship, and a favor.
Speaking of excitement, Fat Dahai and Fat Brother blew a bottle to each other, which brought the atmosphere to the top.
When they arrived, they agreed to have a meal at Fat Brother’s restaurant every year to let Fat Brother be a witness.
Fat brother touched the big bald head and said very generously that all the meals for every year were exempted from the order.
Pan Dahai was so mean that Fat Brother would be exempted from the order today. Fat Brother said no, but it was a business today. If the order was exempted, his wife would have to scratch him to death.
It is Fat Brother’s specialty to get rid of his wife, so they have long been used to it.
After a while, the waiter came to urge him, saying that it was a customer and was waiting for Fat Brother to go down to the kitchen to cook.
Seeing Fat Brother Leaving, Lu Yuan felt a little sadness in his heart. The dinner at Fat Brother Restaurant every year is probably just a vision after all, because in the past two years, new cities have been built around the university, and small shops like Fat Brother Restaurant are basically cleaning up and rebuilding sequences. In a few years, this area may either be merged by the university town or swallowed up into shopping malls after shopping malls. As for Fat Brother Restaurant, it can only disappear in the long history of restaurants around Hangzhou Normal University.
...
Didi~didi!
A few crisp horns downstairs woke Lu Yuan from his memory. Shao Gang wiped the greasy edge of his mouth with a tissue, stood up and said to Lu Yuan and the others: "Wen Yan is here to pick me up and report to the new company. Brothers, let's take it away first!"
Wen Yan is Shao Gang's girlfriend Su Wenyan, and she is also a senior sister who is older than Lu Yuan and others. She is currently a kindergarten teacher.
When she was studying at Hangzhou Normal University, Shao Gang used a few sour and old love poems, and he didn't even invite a KFC to chase Su Wenyan. This made Pan Dahai and Ma Zhuzhi and others envious.
Lu Yuan, Pan Dahai and others poked their heads out of the window. Sure enough, Su Wenyan, with long hair shawls, was wearing a plaid dress and rode on an electric car, and honked twice.
Seeing several heads on the window of the private room, Su Wenyan raised her head and covered her eyes with her hands, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Lu Yuan, let Shao Gang get off quickly, you will be late in a while."
"Wen Yan, your twenty-four filial girlfriends are so good. Why can't I give up the entire forest for your little tree?" Pan Dahaikou teased colorfully.
Su Wenyan smiled and said, "Pan Dahai, do you know why you chased more than a dozen girls in our department, but they didn't catch them?"
"Why?" Pan Dahai also wanted to know that in terms of conditions, he felt that he was better than Shao Gang, but not worse.
"Because you are oiled before you get old!" Su Wenyan giggled and trembled with laughter.
"Damn! I'll bury brother again!"
Pan Dahai brought humiliation to himself and sat back to his original position to drink.
Su Wenyan shouted to Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, come down with Shao Gang, someone asks me to give you something."
"Okay."
Lu Yuan asked Ma Zhuzhi and the others to sit down first and accompanied Shao Gang downstairs.
The reason for the stairs, Lu Yuan held Shao Gang's shoulder and asked, "Looking at Wen Yan's attitude towards you, I guess she will meet her parents soon? People say that when you graduate from college, you will die in the light. You two want to achieve the right result."
Shao Gang sighed a little depressedly and said, "Actually, her parents don't know that we are together."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Wen Yan doesn't want to?"
Shao Gang shook his head and said, "She is willing. The key is that her parents are looking for a local from Hangzhou. Her parents are worried that their daughter will marry another place. You said that when I was from another place, I would be unhappy to see her parents?"
"That's right," Lu Yuanshen nodded convincedly, and said, "Their family is the only daughter. If they marry thousands of miles away, their parents will definitely not want to. But what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you want to settle in Hangzhou? In the eyes of her parents, whether it's not important to be out of town or not."
"I know what you said," Shao Gang sighed again and said, "You know our family's situation. A few years ago, our family went out to work after I went to college to support me in college. Now I graduated and thought about earning some money to subsidize my family. Now I think I will buy a house in Hangzhou in the future. Hey, sometimes I always feel that fate is particularly unfair to me. Look at Ma George, although he is an illegitimate child, his family has a wealthy family since childhood. Look at Pan Dahai, he doesn't have to worry about work after graduation, and he feels comfortable going home to live with his parents. And you... Look at me, so hard, when you play games all night, I am reading, and when you skip classes to watch football games, I am reading..."
"Stop, stop, Shao Gang!"
Lu Yuan suddenly said seriously: "If you are so discouraged, it is not what I know of Shao Gang. You are the most inspiring person in our 305! Although you look at the sea, George and their family are better than you, they have always admired you and respected you! Because you have been changing your destiny, coming out of the barren countryside, and changing your destiny step by step. Although we can't decide what kind of fetus we have enrolled in, Shao Gang, we can change our destiny, even if we spend our whole life! Aren't we?"
"Change your own destiny?"
Shao Gang murmured, then swept the haze between his eyebrows, and returned to his original cheerfulness. He patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and said aloud: "Lu Yuan, you are right. I, Shao Gang, just change my destiny step by step! I also want to change the destiny of my younger brother and sister, and also the destiny of my children in the future so that they can give birth to a good birth!"
Drop ~~ Drop!
Su Wenyan's little electric donkey rang twice again.
As the two brothers were chatting, they arrived at the restaurant entrance. Su Wenyan said anxiously: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Have you not said enough in four years in college?"
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Wen Yan, you women don't understand the brotherhood of men. How can four years be enough to be brothers? You have to spend your whole life going!"
"Just don't take our Shao Gang wrongly."
Su Wenyan took out an envelope from her cloth bag, which was pink and handed it to Lu Yuan. She said, "Here, this was given to me by Gao Siyue before going abroad to study for a master's degree. I asked me to wait for her to go abroad for a week before passing it to you. I haven't opened it and read it, but it's not money, what should be the information? It's also wrapped in a pink envelope, making it look like a love letter. What's going on with you two?"
"Gao Siyue?"
Lu Yuan's thoughts returned to college. The tall girl who played games with him and called her brothers, the ponytail girl who always wore straps, jeans, and white shoes and drank big wine together. She drank too much on the night of graduation. After crying and making a fuss, she stopped contacting him. It has been a month since she has passed.
