Chapter 61: The Old Mistakes Are Coming Again
The rapid progress in basic skills did not bring much joy to Yang Zhenxing. His attention was now entirely on another thing.
As we enter the new year, the first thing to welcome is naturally the New Year holiday.
Yang Zhenxing found that since his good friends went to middle school, the relationship between them seemed not to be as close as before.
It turned out that as long as they took a break, He Shangchao and Li Guoqing would definitely come to play with him as long as they were not locked up at home.
But during this New Year holiday, the two of them told him several times to go hang out with their middle school classmates tomorrow.
This has never happened before.
Although Yang Zhenxing looked very relaxed, he was actually very flustered inside.
He didn't know if it was his own relationship that made the two good friends have the idea of going out to play with their classmates.
Even though Liu Jianye was with him, whenever he thought about this matter, Yang Zhenxing always felt restless and uneasy for no reason.
Not knowing how to deal with it, Yang Zhenxing had to work hard on his daily life.
In the first year, my grandfather Yang Xingsheng made a lot of money selling lunch boxes. The family became rich, and he would occasionally give some pocket money to the three children.
Now that they have grown up, they do not have as much fun as they did when they were children: patting treasures, pulling out tree roots, throwing sandbags or bouncing glass balls, and they never get tired of playing all day long.
Those things that children play with, several of them are middle school students, and they have long stopped looking at them.
What still interests them is making a slingshot to shoot birds and making a chain gun using a bicycle chain and iron wire, and the only thing left is the arcade.
But game arcades cost money. Not only do you need money for the board, but you also need tickets to enter.
Precisely because they don’t have money in their pockets and can’t go to game arcades often, children still play some “old” games that don’t cost money.
It is the dream of many children to drink Arctic soda and go to the arcade for a long time.
To say it is a dream is actually better to say it is envy.
Many young people in the alley are like this. They swaggeringly pick up a bottle and open a bottle of soda, and then go to the arcade to play for the whole day. After dinner, a few people gathered in a small restaurant at the entrance of the alley to drink and eat.
Blowing loudly to talk about the sky and the earth.
In the eyes of many children, this is the free life they long for.
Therefore, this point became the breakthrough point set by Yang Zhenxing.
When he recently made an appointment with He Shangchao and others to go to the arcade, he would always generously treat them to drinks of soda.
To drink soda, you have to drink it at the stall. If you want to take away the bottle, you must deposit 50 cents. Arctic soda is 15 cents a bottle.
Yang Zhenxing couldn't pay the bottle deposit, so the few of them had to finish drinking at the door of the grocery store before leaving.
But a total of 60 cents for soda for four people is not a small amount.
It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice. It turns out that Yang Zhenxing occasionally asks them for help. Everyone knows that he is thrifty and usually has no place to spend money and has the habit of spending money randomly.
But after all, how much money can a child have?
He Shangchao and Li Guoqing discovered that Yang Zhenxing didn't know what was going on. He had invited them for two days in a row, and he actually wanted to invite them on the third day today.
Two people who knew something was wrong stopped Yang Zhenxing.
After dragging the person to a deserted corner, He Shangchao and Li Guoqing surrounded Yang Zhenxing and blocked Liu Jianye who wanted to rush in from behind.
"Gouzi, we have something to ask about the mutton chops. It's none of your business. Just calm down!"
After warning Liu Jianye, He Shangchao turned around, stared at Yang Zhenxing, and asked very seriously: "Lamb chops, tell the truth, where did you get so much money? You actually bought us soda for several days in a row?"
In this regard, Yang Zhenxing was confident and said calmly: "I don't steal or rob. These are all small flowers given to me by my grandfather. Otherwise, you can ask Gouzi. Recently, my grandfather often gives us small flowers."
When they looked back and saw Liu Jianye nodding, indicating that this was indeed the case, the two turned around and asked again: "Then what do you mean? Did you spend it like this when I gave you some small money? Why do you suddenly spend money so recklessly?
Really? It turns out you are not like this!"
Now Yang Zhenxing was hesitating and hesitating, losing the confidence he had before, and he didn't even say anything.
He couldn't say that he was afraid that the two of them would ignore him, so he came up with this method by himself, right?
Seeing that Yang Zhenxing was silent, He Shangchao and Li Guoqing knew that they were on to something. There was definitely something going on here.
So He Shangchao continued to ask: "Lamb Chops, you better tell the truth! If you really have something wrong and don't tell us, then we will never play with you again!"
As soon as he heard this, Yang Zhenxing couldn't stand still. He said anxiously: "I said, can't I tell you all? Don't ignore me in the future!"
Looking at the two people holding their arms in front of him, Yang Zhenxing sighed. Like a defeated rooster, he lowered his head and told all the things he was worried about before and why he came up with this method.
"...I'm just afraid of losing you two good friends because of my relationship."
After hearing this, He Shangchao and Li Guoqing looked at each other, feeling moved and at the same time dumbfounded.
"How do you know that when we go to find our classmates, we exclude you and don't want to play with you?"
He Shangchao was very speechless, "Isn't it necessary to meet new classmates when you go to a new school? Could it be that you want no one in my class to know or make friends, and then isolate yourself?"
"That's not what I meant!" Yang Zhenxing waved his hands quickly, "I don't mean to prevent you from meeting new classmates and making new friends. I'm just worried that you will spend more time with your classmates than me in the future, and you won't be as good with me as before.
."
Li Guoqing shook his head on the side, and rarely said: "Lamb Chops, this is your fault. We have been playing together for so many years, and although you moved back later, it is okay to say that we are just kids.
The relationship between us is no longer a solid one, why should you have some confidence in us and yourself?"
Yang Zhenxing was very embarrassed by what he said. He felt that Li Guoqing's words hit a vital point in his heart.
If he could have confidence in the relationship between several people and trust each other, he would not have such thoughts or do these things.
He Shangchao put his arms around Yang Zhenxing's shoulders, shook him and said, "Since I was a child, I have found that you are very easily distracted, and you often think about these messy and useless things because of your own random thoughts.
Since you care about other people's feelings about you, why can't you just say it outright? It's not something you can't ask about this kind of thing, so why do you have to wonder about it and doubt yourself? "
Feeling the strength on his shoulders, as well as the feelings called friendship and trust, Yang Zhenxing narrowed his eyes with a smile, nodded fiercely, and said: "I will never do this again! I will work hard to correct it.
This problem!"
"Hey, don't talk about it then. Let's hurry up. If we delay it for a while, I don't know if there will be any free time."
