The old locust trees at the entrance of the hutong have a history of almost a hundred years. May is the season when the locust blossoms are in full bloom. When the breeze blew, the small white wind chimes swayed slightly, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
However, for children, compared with the appearance of the sophora japonica, what attracts them more is the sweet taste of the sophora japonica.
Du Yan saw the tree full of locust blossoms, and ran directly towards the big tree. He kicked off the shoes on his feet and wanted to climb up the tree with his bare feet.
Zhang Jing jumped in anxiety: "What are you in a hurry! Can you climb trees?"
Du Yan turned his head and grinned: "When I lived with my parents, a few big trees were planted in front of the house, and I even built a small tree house on the trees. You also asked me if I would climb trees, Don't underestimate people."
Zhang Jing is a mature and cautious character. He looked at the height of the old locust tree and said, "The trees in foreign countries may be different from those in China. Why don't I go and borrow a ladder."
However, Du Yan pouted: "What kind of ladder do you want, there is no manliness at all. Of course, you have to climb up the tree with your own hands and feet, don't you think? Miss Zhang."
Zhang Jing thought that he was much more mature than Du Yan, and of course he wouldn't bother calling him a little girl, but Zhang Jing was a little angry because he didn't care about safety.
However, now the adults of both families have gone out, and now he is the only one who can take on the responsibility of watching over the leather monkey. Zhang Jing stood reluctantly under the tree, ready to remind the other party not to go to dangerous places at any time. .
In between, Du Yan climbed up, straddled the branch, and threw the locust blossoms down.
Zhang Jing was looking up at Du Yan's feet. Unprepared, the locust flower he dropped smashed his head and head. He only heard Du Yan laughing on it: "You look good with flowers on, you look more like a little girl!"
Zhang Jing glared at him, too lazy to do such childish things as bickering. He bent down to pick up the scattered acacia flowers and stuffed them into the cloth bag he carried with him.
The two bickered and cooperated, and without much effort, they picked up a bag full of sophora japonica.
Zhang Jing looked at the bag in his hand and said, "It's almost full, Du Yan, you can come down."
After Du Yan heard it, he didn't want to be too greedy, and just climbed down. Just when he was about half a meter away from the ground, the old bark that he was stepping on was probably rotten because of the age, and it shattered with a clatter.
"Ah!" Du Yan slipped and rolled down with a scream.
Zhang Jing didn't see it well, so he rushed to help him, but he didn't expect that he was only a five-year-old child, and the two fell into a ball. Fortunately, there is soft grass under the big locust tree, but nothing happened.
Zhang Jing fell dizzy, and when he woke up, he saw Du Yan sitting on his waist laughing.
Zhang Jing didn't know what he was laughing, and said, "Are you all right? You're still laughing so happy after you've fallen down?"
Du Yan said, "Looking at how clean you usually look like a little girl, but now you're rubbing your face with ashes, it's much more pleasing to the eye."
Zhang Jing likes to be clean. Hearing Du Yan's words, he subconsciously smeared his face. Seeing the mud in his palm, he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.
Du Yan didn't realize it, and was still there laughing with schadenfreude.
Zhang Jing glared at him, and said in a slightly aggressive tone: "Get out of the way!"
Du Yan didn't make trouble and stood up directly. Zhang Jing got up from the ground without saying a word to Du Yan, and headed home.
Du Yan followed behind with the bag: "Little old man, are you really angry?"
Zhang Jing said angrily: "I want to come out to play with you again, I will, I will..."
Du Yan asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Jing blinked, but still didn't finish his sentence, closed his mouth and refused to speak to Du Yan again.
Time just slipped away in the fight between the two of them, and in a blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Within a year, Du Yan had already achieved his goal ahead of schedule and became the hutong bully. He went up to the house to uncover the tiles, walked the cat and teased the dog, and was simply a skin boy famous throughout the alley. In addition, Du Yan also subdued a group of children of about the same age, and scattered all over the alley all day long.
Zhang Jing usually takes a lot of interest classes, and is unwilling to play with a group of leather monkeys. The relationship between the two is far from inseparable as the two parents expected.
Although Zhang Jing verbally dislikes Du Yan, he usually doesn't seem to like to pay attention to each other. But when Du Yan is going to do something dangerous, he always goes with him dutifully.
As a result, the withdrawn Zhang Jing integrated into the children of Hutong in such a strange way.
Just when the friendship between Du Yan and Zhang Jing developed in a strange way, Shi An, another protagonist of the movie, finally appeared.
When Shi An and his mother came to the alley together, Du Yan was locked up by his grandparents because of the accident the day before, so he could only climb over the wall and harass Zhang Jing to play.
The grapes in the yard were just ripe, and Zhang Jing was still sitting under the grape trellis with the villain book and watching. Du Yan sat astride the ladder and picked grapes there with great interest.
He was not greedy. After picking a few bunches, he climbed down the ladder to wash them, and then said, "Zhang Jing, do you want to eat grapes?"
"No." Zhang Jing refused without even raising his head, his eyes focused on the villain book.
Du Yan, who was used to being rejected by Zhang Jing, was not angry at all, but rolled his eyes and gave a wicked smile.
Du Yan picked a green grape that was not ripe at all, and walked over with malicious intent: "This grape looks good, very sweet."
Zhang Jing was very attentive when he was reading, and opened his mouth unprepared. Du Yan raised his hand and stuffed the green grape into Zhang Jing's mouth.
"Well!"
Unprepared, Zhang Jing was so sour that his whole body was shaken, and his whole face was wrinkled into a ball, looking very painful.
But due to his good upbringing, Zhang Jing couldn't do anything to spit the grapes in his mouth on the ground, so he could only swallow it with his neck stuck.
He recovered from that stimulating feeling, and saw Du Yan pointing at him and laughing back and forth. Zhang Jing got angry and threw the villain book on the table, and after chasing after Du Yan's ass, he would beat him.
Du Yan ran away, and the two ran around the yard.
While the two were fighting, Grandma Li led a mother and son into the courtyard.
Seeing that Zhang Jing was chasing Du Yan, Grandma Li stopped her grandson with a smile: "Xiao Jing, Xiao Yan is younger than you, you let him order."
Zhang Jin was very obedient and stopped immediately, but when he saw Du Yan proudly hiding behind his grandmother and making faces, he glared at Du Yan several times in anger.
Grandma Li looked at everything in front of her with a smile on her face. Since Du Yan from the next door moved in, his Zhang Jing looked more and more like a child of this age should have.
Seeing that the two children were about to start chasing again, Grandma Li stopped with a smile: "Okay, stop making trouble, and introduce a new friend to the two of you."
After that, she introduced Shi An's mother and Shi An to the two children. The three children are all the same year, Shi An is the youngest and Zhang Jing is the oldest.
The oldest Zhang Jing was naturally confessed by Grandma Li, and she will take good care of Xiao An's tasks in the future.
Zhang Jing looked at Shi An who was hiding behind his mother. He looked white and tender, quiet and cute, but he looked a little shy. The whole person only looked at him with a pair of big black eyes, and did not come out to say hello.
Zhang Jing felt that having a Du Yan was enough of annoyance for him. This kid named Shi An seemed quite quiet anyway, and it didn't matter if he lived at home, so he didn't feel much conflict.
He showed a polite smile and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Jing. That guy..."
Before Zhang Jing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Yan: "My name is Du Yan and I live next door."
In the days that followed, not much changed. Although there was an additional family in the yard, the impact on Zhang Jing's life was far less than when Du Yan moved in next door.
When Zhang Jing was at home, he was kind to Shi An, and he didn't reject Shi An from moving his toys or books, but after going out, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to Shi An.
Until one day, Du Yan asked a group of friends to say that he was going to dig out the bird's nest. Of course, Zhang Jing couldn't let go of this dangerous action and followed.
When the sun was about to go down, Du Yan and Zhang Jing went home, Du Yan made a cut on his arm, and Zhang Jing scolded him with a bad face.
Du Yan knew that at such a time, the best way was to shut up and listen to the training, otherwise Zhang Jing would definitely tell his grandparents about it, and he would inevitably be locked up for a few days.
At this moment, the two saw Lin Hu and a group of children around the corner of the wall, not knowing what he was doing.
The six or seven-year-old children in the alley are actually divided into two groups, one is led by Du Yan, and the other is led by Lin Hu at the entrance of the alley.
The two groups of children don't like each other, and fighting is a common thing.
As soon as Du Yan saw it was Lin Hu, he went over to ask for trouble without saying a word.
Zhang Jing grabbed him: "What do you want to do?"
Du Yan said, "You didn't see the children surrounded by them, and the clothes were familiar. It seemed that they lived in your house back then, right?"
At this time, Zhang Jing looked a little indifferent to his age: "That's none of your business."
Du Yan, however, shook off Zhang Jing's hand: "I just see that Lin Hu's grandson is not pleasing to the eye, so I want to mix it up."
Zhang Jing didn't hold Du Yan for a while, watching the kid rush over, and kicked Lin Hu's ass. Lin Hu didn't check for a while, and was directly kicked by Du Yan.
"Lin Hu! This is my territory!" Du Yan was quite polite, pointing at Lin Hu and starting to speak harshly.
Zhang Jing only felt that his head was big. There were three or four people on Lin Hu's side. Even if Du Yan could beat him, he would inevitably have a bruised face.
All of this is due to the little devil named Shi An. With some dissatisfaction, he looked at Shi An who was curled up in the corner.
