Yuan Yuan didn’t want to do this year’s birthday. When Zhao Guogang gave him 3,000 yuan to treat him, Yuan Yuan said, “No need.”
no need? Zhao Guogang thought that Yuan Yuan was getting on his body by another person, and said in surprise, "It's not enough?"
"That's enough." Yuan Yuan said to the exercise book: "Don't interfere with me."
Zhao Guogang said: "This money is also given to you to reward your ranking in the midterm exam."
Yuan Yuan said perfunctorily: "Let it go."
"Xiaoyuan, your sixth question is wrong." Tan Ruikang shouted in the opposite room.
"Oh—" Yuanyuan turned through the book boredly.
Zhao Guogang found that Tan Ruikang really played a big role. Although he did not know what secrets Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang had, the two children always maintained an almost harmonious competitive mentality, and Yuan Yuan rarely envied Tan Ruikang's good grades. Consider him his real brother.
Although Tan Ruikang sometimes behaves very rustically, he has integrated into Yuan Yuan and his buddies and has become a new immigrant.
Tan Ruikang also started using paper towels instead of taking out a crumpled roll of paper from his schoolbag. He knew the answer to the girls. If you lose, please eat Sizhou milk candy.
Yuan received a lot of things on his birthday. At least half of the class bought him birthday gifts. He was going to school that day. Yuanlu invited all the people who gave him gifts to eat Yuanlu's conveyor belt sushi. There were more than 20 people. After almost covering the whole venue, Tan Ruikang ate sushi for the first time, and his eyes were very frightening when he saw sashimi.
"Just... eat like this?" Tan Ruikang said, "It's raw."
Qi Huiyu stuck out his tongue and put the sashimi into his mouth, Tan Ruikang's face turned green.
Everyone laughed together. Zhang Zhen wrapped the sashimi on the sushi with a thick layer of mustard, put it in Tan Ruikang's bowl, and said, "Try it."
"Hey!" Yuan Yuan said, "Don't do this!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tan Ruikang had already eaten it. He immediately covered his mouth and hurriedly said, "Spit it out! The mustard is very aggressive."
Tan Ruikang burst into tears and snot, and Zhang Zhen said, "Dude, you are so brave, you really eat it."
Everyone was paralyzed with laughter. Tan Ruikang waved his hands without saying a word. It took nearly ten minutes before he drank tea with tears and snot and shook his head.
Several people started playing Pai Qi again, and the loser was punished to eat mustard rolls, and one of them was far away.
Tan Ruikang pointed at him and laughed, held him in his arms and beat him hard.
After returning home that day, I ordered some gifts from far away. Dolls, decorations, stationery, CDs, snacks, and a big bag full of them. Gifts are not cheap. After reading it, I feel boring. Most of them are stuffed into boxes.
The only thing I like is a swatch that Qi Huiyu gave him.
It was a pair of watches for couples in the style of Dairy Boy and Dairy Girl. It cost a full 1,200 yuan. At that time, he and Qi Huiyu saw it when they were shopping. He was a little tempted to buy one for himself, and the other for Chi Xiaojun. Boy + milk girl, a perfect match.
Unexpectedly, this relationship ended in less than half a month, and Qi Huiyu still remembered that he wanted this, and bought it generously.
Qi Huiyu's family is not rich, and the daily living expenses are only 30 yuan. Most of the time, Yuanya invites him to dinner, while Qi Huiyu buys milk tea and drinks for Yuanya.
It is estimated to be one thousand and two from the New Year's money, which is definitely a lot for a junior high school student.
Yuan Yuan was really moved when he received this gift. It was worth living at the same table with Qi Huiyu for three years. He was the one who knew his heart the most. It was precisely because Qi Huiyu had no money that such an expensive birthday present showed his heart.
What about Tan Ruikang? He didn't give any gifts, and Yuan Yuan didn't care about it anymore. Anyway, it didn't matter to the people in his own family. It was his dad's money to send them around.
"Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang came over after taking a shower and said, "I'll give you a birthday present."
Yuan Yuan was admiring his blue milk watch, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said hurriedly, "No need."
Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "If you want, a little thought."
The corners of Yuan Yuan's mouth twitched slightly to see what he could come up with. As a result, Tan Ruikang handed him an envelope, expecting that it was a card or something, Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
He didn't dismantle it in front of Tan Ruikang, and it would be embarrassing if there were any words in his heart like "Dear brother, I wish you... I wish you... I wish you...".
Tan Ruikang went back to the room, Yuan Yuan threw the envelope aside, and the two began to study separately.
After ten o'clock, Tan Ruikang asked, "Xiaoyuan, have you seen it?"
Distant: "… "
"Not yet." Yuan Yuan said, "I'll see now."
He brewed his emotions, prepared to say something touching, opened the envelope, and pulled out a newspaper.
what is this? After unfolding far away, it was discovered that it was Zhang Fahuang's old newspaper, the Special Zone News.
Tan Ruikang: "This is what happened in this city on the day you were born."
It was only after Yuan Yuan realized that, Tan Ruikang said, "I went to the newspaper office in the special zone and asked them to sell me a copy. The editor is a friend of my uncle, so I found it and gave it to me directly."
Yuan Yuan said: "It's really thoughtful, thank you."
Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "A lot of things happened that day. The new building at the port was officially put into use, the new commercial documents were signed, and the proposal for welfare housing conditions was passed."
Yuan Yuan's eyes were full of admiration, and he smiled: "Yes, let me see, and there are advertisements... International version, what a rare gift."
After reading the newspaper of this day in the distance for one night, and finally carefully putting it away, this is the most meaningful gift he has received in fifteen years.
The yellow leaves have all fallen, winter is coming, and the school sports meeting is coming soon.
In the third year of junior high school, everything was simple because of the nervousness of study. The square array was just fine to walk around. Those who were too tall and too short were not allowed to go, so as not to damage the image of the class. Tan Ruikang was screened out because he was too tall. He was neither tall nor short. Standard, but I don't even want to go to the square formation of the school sports meeting.
I also know that the behavior of walking up and down the runway shouting slogans is really shocking. Zhang Zhen is a good buddy from afar, and he will be removed if he makes a big tick, just sign up for the competition. There is no need to attend classes during the school sports meeting, which is no less than a leisure vacation for students in the third year of junior high school.
But there are still many people who stay in the classroom for self-study. Qi Huiyu bought breakfast from McDonald's for Yuyao to eat. The two did some homework. Qi Huiyu said, "Let's go and watch the game. We need to move the stool. Do you have a game in the afternoon?"
"Yes." Yuan Yuan glanced at his watch and said, "I sprint and 400-meter relay."
Qi Huiyu was about to jump high, so the two of them carried the chairs down, found their class, and sat down in the last row of the track. Many students also brought exercise books, and they bowed their heads to answer questions without their own class competition.
"I'm going to run later." Zhang Zhen came over to inform: "Go to warm-up activities, Dairy Boy will be ready for the relay after running 100 meters, Qi Huiyu, you run the second, and Dairy boy will run the third."
"I'll cheer you on." Lin Zibo laughed.
"Who runs the fourth bat?" Yuan Yuan said, "Come and learn how to take the bat."
Qi Huiyu and Yuan Yuan are old partners. From the first to the third year of junior high school, they ran two rounds in the middle every time, but unfortunately they never won the ranking. If you want to know the sports level of the top class, it is normal to not get the ranking, just don't be at the bottom.
"I'll take the fourth." Tan Ruikang was a little nervous, wearing a tank top and shorts, with a large piece of paper on his back, which read "Junior Three (1) Class".
The sportswear was very revealing, and the shorts and vest came out of nowhere. Most of them were Zhao Guogang's clothes. Yuan Yuan almost choked and vomited blood, and said frantically, "Don't be so serious!"
"I'm hurdling." Tan Ruikang smiled, gestured at him, and said, "Come on for me."
It was far away that people from other classes in the distance were looking at Tan Ruikang, only to feel disgraced. It was too conspicuous. Tan Ruikang's skin is a healthy bronze color, he looks thin and strong, tall and handsome. He is warming up by the runway by himself, and all eyes are on him for a while.
"Okay, okay." Yuan Yuan took the baton a few times and drove Tan Ruikang to run the hurdles. The girl from the next class smiled and said, "Your brother is so pushy."
Yuan Yuan sneered in his heart, lowered his head and continued to read, the girl asked, "Aren't you going to cheer him on?"
Yuan Yuan put away the book, wanted to go but didn't want to go, many people ran to see the hurdles, the starting gun banged in the distance, and the voices were full of people.
"come on! Come on-"
It has already started, far away is more lazy to look at it, what number can Tan Ruikang get? He didn't care at all. But it doesn't seem very good if you don't watch it... Anyway, give him some face.
The villains named "Fork" and "Nurture" in Yuan Yuan's heart fought fiercely, wanting to go but not wanting to go, and finally got up and walked lazily to the track to watch the Tan Ruikang race.
"Come on—yeah—"
The hurdles track was already full of trouble. Tan Ruikang crossed the finish line of the junior high school hurdle track. Everyone was in an uproar. Zhang Zhen rushed over to pat him on the head, and the whole class surrounded him in the middle.
"Good job!" Zhang Zhen shouted: "You are almost five meters away from the second place!"
"Kangkang, you are so good!" a girl screamed.
Tan Ruikang smiled and looked around, gasping for breath, and clapping with his classmates who came up to congratulate him. When he found that it was not far away, his expression became a little sad.
Halfway through the distance, they found that the game was over, and a group of people were congratulating Tan Ruikang.
Tan Ruikang walked back to the class slowly, Yuan Yuan wore headphones and lowered his head to read. Tan Ruikang stood for a while and handed him a bottle of water.
It was bought for him by a girl from the next class. The class also distributed water to athletes. Tan Ruikang got two bottles and gave him one.
Yuan Yuan took it, unscrewed it and took a drink. He didn't take off his earphones, and Tan Ruikang sat silently beside him.
After a while, Qi Huiyu went for the high jump, and Yuan Yuan followed him to cheer him up. He touched the pole a few times in a row and won seventh. The two came back talking and laughing, and Yuan Yuan was about to run 100 meters.
"Xiaoyuan! Come on!" Tan Ruikang said loudly.
The people around laughed, and Yuan Yuan bowed and knelt down to prepare.
Enough is enough, Yuan Yuan thought to himself, he just planned to run around casually and elegantly, but as soon as Tan Ruikang came, he would have to run hard. Just as he was about to prepare, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person in the distance.
Zhao Guogang was chatting with his head teacher and waved at his son.
When did he come! Yuan Yuan remembered not telling him about the school sports meeting!
With a bang, the starting gun rang out, and the distant conditioned reflex rushed out.
"come on! Come on!"
Yuan Yuan's mind was blank, Zhao Guogang came to watch the game? ! His heart was beating wildly, and he was running as fast as he could.
"Xiaoyuan! Come on!" Tan Ruikang yelled.
Everyone in the class followed Tan Ruikang and shouted "Xiaoyuan - come on - Xiaoyuan - come on -"
The distant heart was about to jump out of his throat, and in an instant, he crossed the finish line, staggering and lying on the ground panting. He usually smokes every day, and his physical strength is not as good as when he was in the first and second grades. He hopes that his grades will not be too bad.
"Great!" Tan Ruikang shouted, "Great!"
Tan Ruikang pulled him up and said far away, "What number?"
"Fourth!" Zhang Zhen came over to pat him, and said with a smile, "Extraordinary performance! This time our class can take the top spot!"
Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. They were the last group. It was good that they didn't finish at the bottom, not to mention the fourth place? !
Tan Ruikang's expression was so elated, he was even more happy than he himself won the first place. The two walked back to the class, their necks were red in the distance, and they were dripping with sweat.
Zhao Guogang said: "It's a good performance, Xiaoyuan runs so fast? I've never heard of you."
Yuan Yuan glared at him angrily, and the students around him were talking a lot, all talking about the milk dad.
Many parents also came today, most of them in the school stand on the other side. Zhao Guogang came to see it last night when he learned that Tan Ruikang and Yuan Yuan were going to run.
"Your dad is so handsome." A girl in front turned her head.
Yuan Yuan hummed, he also felt that his father was very handsome. Zhao Guogang was about 1.8 meters tall. Before he went to sea, he was an employee of Anshan Iron and Steel Group, and he was also a member of the factory basketball team. He was only 39 years old this year. good.
Zhao Guogang's suits are very expensive, and they are naturally very flattering when worn on the upper body. His leather shoes are shiny, and his body like a male model has a kind of career winner, and the sexy of a mature man.
He wore a pair of sunglasses to watch the game, sat in the last row talking to the two children, and his demeanor immediately overwhelmed more than half of the girls in the two classes. Everyone was looking back at him, and many girls secretly took pictures with cameras.
"Drinking water?" Yuan Yuan went to get a bottle of water for Zhao Guogang to drink.
"When did my uncle come?" Tan Ruikang said with a smile.
Zhao Guogang said, "When Xiao Fei Ren won the gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles."
Tan Ruikang laughed, and Yuan Yuan felt a little unhappy in his heart. This is his father, not Tan Ruikang's father. Zhao Guogang said: "I know that Ruikang runs fast, how can Xiaoyuan run so fast, I really underestimate you."
Yuan Yuan said lazily, "It's always been."
"Hello, uncle." Qi Huiyu came to say hello to Zhao Guogang and returned the watch that helped Yuanyuan to him. Zhao Guogang smiled and met his friends one by one, and said, "Xiaoyuan likes the watch you gave him. I will help you look at the clothes. , have you started to run the relay?"
Yuan Yuan's face was a little red, and several people handed things over to Zhao Guogang. The final competition was about to start. Each of the six classes in the third grade took up a track, and Yuan Yuan was very nervous.
All the third-year students left their positions and went to the track and field to watch the game. This is the most tense time. The last relay every year is the most showy time, and it is also the time when the spirit of the class is most displayed. Each class is most united at this time. There is an almost bloody madness.
The loudspeaker in the stands: "It's the 400-meter relay race for the third grade. From outside to inside, it's the first class, the second class..."
Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, Zhao Guogang compared his thumb on the outside of the track, and said domineeringly: "Baby, come on, friendship comes first, competition comes second. We don't care about those false names, just do our best."
Many people burst into laughter, and followed suit: "Baby! Baby!"
Yuan Yuan's face was flushed red, and he could not wait to find a crack to burrow into. He and Tan Ruikang were 100 meters away. Zhao Guogang ignored Tan Ruikang, but stood beside him to cheer him up, which made him feel more balanced.
With a bang, the starting gun went off.
"Come on - come on -" The whole track went crazy.
The first bat started, everyone shouted and ran across the track from the starting line to the other end.
"The leader now is the third grade (5) class..."
"The first class of Qi Huiyu has taken over!" Lin Zibo's voice sounded on the radio, and he shouted excitedly, "Come on!"
The students laughed, Lin Zibo controlled Mai and shouted, "Class 6's performance is not bad..."
Qi Huiyu rushed towards Yuanya quickly, and Yuan Yuan put his backhand behind his back, Qi Huiyu slapped the stick, and Lin Zibo shouted, "Fix it, keep it steady!"
The girls screamed, "Kissing—"
Taking over the baton far away, it turned into an arrow and flew away. The two of them cooperated perfectly, stealing the limelight of the audience.
The six classes ran very fast, and the second and third went smoothly. Yuanyuan ran with all his strength. Zhao Guogang shouted: "Come on! Come on, Xiaoyuan!"
When Qi Huiyu passed the baton to him, the overall speed was already behind. Yuan Yuan did his best to hand over the last baton. At the same time, he stumbled and leaned over to eliminate his momentum. With a twist of his left foot, Tan Ruikang took over the baton!
"Now the third class of the third grade is leading, and Tan Ruikang is catching up! He is running too fast!" Lin Zibo was a little overexcited and incoherent.
"Damn it!" Yuan Yuan looked up at the runway, Tan Ruikang was running too fast, the whole class shouted like crazy, Tan Ruikang caught up with two people in a row, and instantly pulled the trailing speed into the top three, and then overtook it again. one!
"Come on! Come on!" Yuan Yuan shouted, staggering a few steps, Zhao Guogang also came over, the two entered the track and field, and in just a few seconds, Tan Ruikang caught up with another!
"The first class is going to take the first place!" Lin Zibo shouted on the radio: "Come on Tan Ruikang!"
It was too late, but it was too fast, Tan Ruikang and another person crossed the finish line at the same time, and everyone rushed over.
"It's too much! It's too dirty!" a girl shouted angrily: "Is it the study committee member of Class 1! How can you grab the commentator Mai!"
Yuan Yuan said: "Which number did you take? Are we in the top three?"
Pushing past in the distance, there were noisy people everywhere, Tan Ruikang laughed and panted, unable to speak. Yuan Yuan shouted nervously: "What is it! Zhang Zhen! What is it!"
Zhang Zhen pointed his index finger in the crowd, everyone screamed, Yuan Yuan was so excited that he rushed up to hug Tan Ruikang tightly, and shouted, "You are too strong!"
Tan Ruikang was very happy and shouted: "You are doing well! Everyone has credit!"
The crowd dispersed, the junior high school game ended, and the high school game began. Yuan Yuan limped back, Tan Ruikang changed his face and said, "Xiao Yuan, are your feet twisted?"
"We're number one!" Qi Huiyu rushed over and shouted, hugging Yuan Yuan, and then hugging Tan Ruikang, everyone in the third grade (1) class shouted.
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just twisted it a little, where's my dad?"
Zhao Guogang had already gone back to the company, Yuan Yuan put on his watch, sat in his seat and drank water. The rest were still discussing the game. After three years of junior high school, he finally won the first place.
"Don't go to study at night, go to dinner to celebrate!" Zhang Zhen came over and smiled: "There are bonuses."
Yuan Yuan sighed, the entire class was still immersed in the warm atmosphere just now. As the sun went down, the relay race for the three grades of the senior high school was over. Songs were played on the track and field, and the closing ceremonies were opened.
When Yuan Yuan got up, he stumbled again, and his ankle hurt to death, so he had to sit down. Zhang Zhen brought someone over to move the chair back to the classroom, and Tan Ruikang said, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Yuan said: "It's a little twisted, it's okay."
I didn't feel it when I just ran the relay race, but half an hour later, it was very painful. Yuan Yuan took off his sneakers, and his ankle was swollen.
Tan Ruikang knelt down on one knee to examine him, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but screamed, "Don't touch it! It hurts!"
Zhang Zhen said, "Get up and move around to see if you can stand still?"
Far away, leaning on Tan Ruikang's shoulders, he could only stand on one foot. Tan Ruikang said, "Wait here for a while, I'll move the chair and carry you back."
Yuan Yuan immediately said: "Don't! I can go by myself!"
It's too embarrassing. The closing ceremony isn't over yet. To be carried by Tan Ruikang across the track and field in front of everyone's eyes, it's better to kill him directly.
Tan Ruikang and Zhang Zhen moved the chairs up, tried far away, and they could walk, so they took three steps, stopped, left along the edge of the playground, and went upstairs to pack their schoolbags.
"Why are you disobedient?!" Tan Ruikang was anxious as he descended the stairs, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
Yuan Yuan thought about who you are, you are older than my father, and said, "Hey, don't worry, it's alright."
Tan Ruikang squatted down to look at his ankle, and simply hugged him horizontally, shouting from a distance, "Don't—"
Zhang Zhen laughed in the back, Yuan Yuan was carried back to the classroom by Princess Yi Yi, and Tan Ruikang said, "Don't go any more, you are very twisted."
Yuan Yuan had to listen to songs in the classroom, take out the workbooks to do the questions, and rested a little from the sweat. After the game, I felt very comfortable. I couldn’t read books, but I felt very comfortable. If I could smoke a cigarette, I would chat with my friends more perfect.
After the closing ceremony, the students came back to pack their things. Qi Huiyu bowed to look at his feet in the distance, and said, "I'll ride you home? You have to apply medicine."
"Are you going to the hospital?" another classmate said worriedly.
It was Zhang Zhen who often bumped into basketball and said, "It's fine, just spray it with Yunnan Baiyao spray at home. It's common."
The distant foot became more and more painful. Qi Huiyu said, "I have Huang Daoyi's active oil. I will get it for you later. Let your brother rub it for you at night. It will heal for three days. My mother twisted it like this."
Yuan Yuan was so embarrassed that he said, "Small things! Don't be so nervous!"
The crowd worked together and offered suggestions for a while. All the people who had to go left, and the rest were going to go out to eat and celebrate the celebration. Zhang Zhen's high school girlfriend looked outside and said, "Baby, your dad is so handsome."
Everyone laughed until their stomachs hurt, and Yuan Yuan said angrily, "Go back and tell the people in your class, don't be crazy about my dad!"
The people next to him laughed even worse. Tan Ruikang went back to change into a school uniform and said, "I'll take Xiaoyuan back. You guys go to eat, we won't eat."
Several people discussed for a moment, Zhang Zhen said, "How can this be done."
Yuan Yuan said: "Jiji rides me back, you guys go eat." (Jiji - Qi Qi, Qi Huiyu's nickname)
"Let's go out and take a cab together and go home." Tan Ruikang said, "you eat."
Yuan Yuan said with an expressionless face: "You are a great hero, how could the celebration banquet be without you?"
"Hey." Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "What do you say, why do you think I worked so hard to take the first place."
distant:"?"
He suddenly felt that Tan Ruikang's words had an inexplicable meaning, which was the same warmth and tolerance as Zhao Guogang. But he didn't understand the meaning of Tan Ruikang's words and didn't ask.
Qi Huiyu came back, and several people discussed and approved. Zhang Zhen took seven people to dinner, and Yuan Yuan took two hundred to Zhang Zhen in case it was not enough to treat the guests, and sent Qi Huiyu to eat.
A few people dispersed, Tan Ruikang carried a satchel on the left and a satchel on the right, and bowed his back to him in front of Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan picked it up a few times, put it on Tan Ruikang's back, and said, "Can you do it?"
Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "Small meaning, I often carried you back like this when I was a child."
Yuan Yuan: "When did it happen, and I even took it out and said it."
Tan Ruikang: "Close the door and lock it."
Tan Ruikang carried Yuan Yuan on his back, went to close the front and rear doors of the classroom, and carried him downstairs all the way. People were almost gone. The teachers were cleaning the school. The sunset dyed the basketball court. The afterglow was brilliant and beautiful. Tan Ruikang's back was like Yuan Yuan. His grandfather was full of security, and there was a good smell of teenagers on his suit and school uniform jacket.
"What do you mean by what you just said?" Yuan Yuan remembered and asked Tan Ruikang, "Why are you trying so hard to take the first place?"
Tan Ruikang carried him on his back and walked out of the community road outside the school. The two trails were full of dry leaves, dyed red like fire by the setting sun.
With a smile in Tan Ruikang's words, he said of course, "I want you to be happy. When the bonus is issued, brother will buy you something."
