The next day, Yang Chen appeared in the stands of the No. 1 Middle School Stadium safe and sound, allaying the worries of the boys and girls in Class 307, and making the other classes more and more impressed. He offended Zhu San's son and still continued to be carefree. It was unbelievable. Then there was a story about the two gangs yesterday evening.
News of the confrontation between the Taoists quickly spread among the students.
Yang Chen thus wore a layer of mystery.
A few days ago, some good people gave Yang Chen and Zhu Ruian the ridiculous title of "One of Two Dragons".
After yesterday's incident spread, some people began to call Yang Chen the first brother of No. 1 Middle School. This title slowly spread on the campus of No. 1 Middle School and was quickly accepted by everyone.
Yang Chen didn't expect it.
It is said that Zhu Rui was so angry that he smashed the expensive Nokia 6600 into permanent scrap. In short, various rumors quickly established Yang Chen's transcendent status in the minds of the students in No. 1 Middle School. The boys in the second and third grade of high school who did not take the freshmen seriously in the past encountered Yang Chen.
Give him a look of awe and admiration, or keep him at a distance.
In the three-day sports meeting, Class 307 won five first places, first in the men's 100 meters, first in the men's 400 meters, first in the men's four times 100 meters, first in the women's 3,000 meters, first in the women's long jump, and first in the women's long jump.
One was won by Li Nan. The seemingly delicate beauty actually has some athletic talent.
The school sports meeting was over, followed by the seven-day long holiday. After studying, Yang Chen had a party with his junior high school buddies, and had a picnic with his classmates from 307. The seven days passed in a hurry, and the step-by-step high school study life continued. In Yang Chen's words
To describe it, this is a fierce battle that will last for three years, with the final outcome determined by the college entrance examination.
The days are getting cooler and the chill is coming quietly.
One day in November, Hao Yong, Sun Yu, and Wang Xiaofei came to No. 1 Middle School to see Yang Chen. It happened to be the time for extracurricular activities after the second period in the afternoon.
Only Li Feng did not come from the top five in the Ninth Middle School. The boy barely entered an ordinary high school in Xinfeng with his high school entrance examination results. The four of them were walking around. Hao Yong, Sun Yu, and Wang Xiaofei looked left and right, and you kept nagging me.
What a pity that I never had the chance to study in high school or take the college entrance examination.
"It doesn't necessarily matter whether you go to high school or go to college. When you come back from the army, you have a resettlement card. The country has to arrange a stable job that will support you financially. As for those who go to college, they may not be better than you if they can't go to a good university or a good major." Yang Chen smiled.
Comforting my good brothers is not purely comforting.
Since the large-scale expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities across the country in 2002, the signs that college students are almost overpopulated and devalued have become more and more obvious. People like him, who can tell the fall of a leaf as soon as it falls, can see it more clearly.
"Yang Zi, I'm here to tell you that the three of us have passed the recruitment review and will be leaving the day after tomorrow." Hao Yong finally explained his purpose of coming. After the strong-tempered and carefree big boy finished speaking, he actually revealed something he had never done before.
Sadly, Yang Chen was stunned, his eyes passed over the faces of the three people, and his heart ached inexplicably.
This kind of pain is not the result of the inseparable friendship between good brothers.
"This is a good thing. Go find Li Feng and let us five brothers get together tonight." Yang Chen said with a smile, his eyes full of blessings to the brothers.
Then Yang Chen went directly to the class teacher to ask for leave and did not attend evening self-study. The evening self-study in No. 1 Middle School was euphemistically called evening self-study, but in fact it was supervised by the class teacher. Failure to attend evening self-study without any reason was equivalent to absenteeism.
In the evening, in the private room of the Little Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant, five teenagers drank beer in silence and neither ate much. The atmosphere was solemn and sad.
Hao Yong raised his head and downed a glass of beer, burst into tears, and cried.
A man won't shed tears easily unless he is extremely sad and heartbroken.
The five people had been together for so many years and were about to be separated for a long time. They felt the pain of separation for the first time and couldn't bear it. When Hao Yong cried, Li Feng, Wang Xiaofei and Sun Yu also cried. Yang Chen also had wet eyes and stared hard, trying to
Staring back tears, the tears just rolled down.
No matter how tough and deep his character is, he is still a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy who values love and justice. It is normal to shed tears, not to mention that he feels there is no shame in crying for his brothers.
"Today, we will not go home until we are drunk. Li Feng and I will take you three to the train the day after tomorrow, and we will meet again in two years." Yang Chen simply stood up, raised the whole bottle of beer, and drank it with his head held high, showing a manly look in his sadness.
He was so heroic and held too much in his stomach that he couldn't say anything. He could only use this to prove that the friendship between brothers is as deep as the sea, and the rest of the people followed suit.
Cheers brother!
How precious tonight is.
Treat wine as song and see through the world of mortals. We will never return until we are drunk.
It’s rare to get drunk when you let your dreams fly, and I haven’t had the taste of a hug for a long time.
No matter how hard you are, you will not regret it, let your failure turn into ashes, let’s have a drink with our good brothers, and we will never return until we are drunk.
After drinking, this desolate song full of brotherly love echoed over and over again in the private room. When the waiter served the main food, he saw the five boys crying and being confused.
I drank beer and liquor together this night, and I really couldn't get drunk.
Even Yang Chen, who was praised by his brothers for being incomprehensible when drinking, went to the bathroom and vomited twice.
On the day of the departure of the new recruits, the No. 1 platform of the train station was open, and the military trains were waiting quietly beside the platform. On the platform, the recruits wearing winter training uniforms without any epaulets or collar badges were wearing big red flowers and saying their final farewells to their parents and relatives.
The warnings and cries mingled together, making those who heard it sad.
Yang Chen made an appointment with Li Feng, rushed to the train station, entered the platform, and found three good buddies who had changed into olive green military uniforms. Their eyes were red and swollen from crying in front of their parents. Seeing their buddies coming, they all wiped away their tears in embarrassment. Yesterday,
That night they vowed to get drunk and cry, and from then on they would become sonorous men who bleed and never shed tears.
"Good brother, take care of yourself along the way. Go to the army and have a good time. Don't lose the reputation of our top five." Yang Chen tried his best to control his emotions. The separation of brothers was already very sad, and he really didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
"Don't worry, Yang Zi, our brothers are like this wherever we go." Hao Yong said while giving a thumbs up. The other four people nodded in unison, and their hearts filled with sadness glowed with pride. A few of them wanted to chat a few words, but also wanted to say something.
They gathered together for a moment, even if they were silent, but unfortunately, the officer picking up the new recruits blew his whistle.
The invisible whistle struck the hearts of everyone present.
The parents reluctantly held their children's hands and seemed to have endless instructions.
The big boys who are about to become real soldiers also cannot bear to be far away from their hometown, their parents, and their pure love.
"We're leaving, and we'll meet again in two years."
Hao Yong, Sun Yu, and Wang Xiaofei said in unison, and the hands held tightly by the five people gradually loosened their grip. The three people wearing winter training uniforms stepped back step by step, and finally said goodbye to their relatives and friends with tears, suppressing family affection, friendship, and love.
Deep in my heart, I turned around and ran into the gathering team, and then one team at a time set foot on the military column heading into the distance.
The train whistled and started moving slowly.
Yang Chen stared at the train with tearful eyes, motionless.
It is indeed sad that my playmate who has been together for many years and is as close as a brother is gone and embarks on the journey of life, but one day will come eventually, just like one day I will have to travel far away to fight hard.
May we be brothers for life, and may we have a bright future many years from now.
Yang Chen watched the train disappear into the distance, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, patted Li Feng who was covering his mouth and choking, and turned towards the exit of the station.
Three good brothers left to serve in the army, and Yang Chen was in a low mood for a few days. However, he quickly adjusted and continued to savor his high school life, planning to use these three years to accumulate a lot and become famous.
What makes Yang Chen at a loss recently is that he has received many love letters from girls. The lingering words and the faint and resentful feelings between the lines have made his head as big as a bucket.
He loves to conquer women.
I don’t want to be conquered by women as prey.
During extracurricular activities in the afternoon, there were always girls from outside classes looking for various opportunities to get close to him. I don’t know when he was labeled as a school bastard again.
Early in the morning, Xi Ruijuan, the representative of the English department and a buck-toothed girl, after finishing morning exercises, hesitated in her seat for a long time. She turned around frequently and saw Li Nan in the second to last row who didn't even have the slightest intention of going to the toilet. She gritted her teeth and carried the KFC package.
Bag, nudged close to Yang Chen's seat, and greeted Li Nan who lowered his head and recited ancient prose, "Nan Nan, Yang Chen isn't here?"
You can tell at a glance whether Yang Chen is there or not, so why ask even though you already know?
Li Nan raised his eyes and felt that Xi Ruijuan was too unusual today, so he asked casually: "Do you have anything to do with Yang Chen?"
"No...it's okay. I bought Yang Chen a KFC breakfast set. You...when he comes back, tell him to remember to eat it." Xi Ruijuan finished speaking with a blushing face, put the things on Yang Chen's desk, and turned around.
He fled back to his seat as fast as he could, opened the English textbook upside down, and immersed himself in reading.
Li Nan stared at the KFC paper bag for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The first class was about to begin, and boys and girls walked into the classroom one after another. Yang Chen and Shi Ming came in chatting and laughing, but Li Nan rolled his eyes without warning, leaving the guys confused.
