"Oh." Tang Wen looked a little disappointed, but when she thought about seeing Yang Bin's home soon, she began to look forward to the place where he grew up.

"The jujube tree you see later should be considered a new jujube tree. There was originally a jujube tree in our yard that had lived for decades or nearly a hundred years. It was planted there before the foundation was distributed to our house. The whole tree was nearly twenty meters high, and the trunk was as thick as a person hugged it, with branches and leaves lush, and at least a few hundred kilograms of dates every year. Unfortunately, I was struck by thunder when I was four years old." Yang Bin shook his head and remembered a past event.

"There are such things?" Tang Wen looked at Yang Bin in surprise. These things sounded quite novel.

"Yes, when the jujube tree was still there, it was the ripe season. My father often stayed on the jujube tree and couldn't read books. When he was thirsty and hungry, he would pick the dates and eat them. The dates on the jujube tree were so big, crisp and sweet, and the later dates were not as delicious as the dates it had." Yang Bin looked very regretful.

At that time, the person living next door was not the Zhao family, but the Tian family. Yang Bin still vaguely remembered that Yang Lan could climb and Tian Yuan could already leave, and stayed under the jujube tree in the yard, tilting her head and eyes waiting for the jujube to fall from the sky.

"Uh... I'm so envious..." Tang Wen looked yearning.

"Thunder that time was quite evil. If it weren't for Xiaolan, I would probably have died under the thunder." Yang Bin seemed to have recalled some things again.

The memory of what happened when he was four years old was very vague, but Yang Bin did remember some things clearly, and he himself didn't know what was going on.

"Ah? So thrilling? Tell me..." Tang Wen was completely immersed in Yang Bin's story.

"It was raining heavily that day. My parents were both at school and asked me to take care of Xiaolan, who was only one year old. But I was very moved at that time. After the rain, I was very excited and left Xiaolan and ran to the yard to play with water. Before the lightning strike, I was standing under the jujube tree. Xiaolan, who had just learned to walk, somehow ran out of the house and called out to brother with a smile..."

"Then, she tripped something under her feet, or she couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the ground, and then started crying. I was afraid that my parents would scold me, so I ran over and helped her up. At this moment, a thunder slashed down from the sky, deafening. Of course, Xiaolan and I were both shining with huge light... "

"When we could see things clearly again, the trunk of the jujube tree, which was thickly embraced by giant thunder, was struck in half from the middle! There was even a fire on the trunk, but it was quickly extinguished by heavy rain. A pit was blown out of the place where I was standing just now, and the jujube tree roots were blown out... The scene at that time seemed to be the end of the world."

"If Xiaolan hadn't run out at that time and fell to the ground and cried and called out brother, I would have been blown away with the jujube tree..." Yang Bin still looked scared whenever he recalled that thrilling scene.

Not everyone has the opportunity to witness the ancient tree being split by lightning close by, but Yang Bin really encountered it. The shock at that time was not something that could not be imagined if he was there in person.

"It seems that you have been lucky since childhood." Tang Wen sighed again, and then became even more envious... How could Yang Bin's life be so rich and wonderful? Compared to his wonderfulness, her life is like a poor person.

"Haha, after you arrive at my house, you can also see the roots of the ancient jujube tree. Our family used it to build several benches... Well, it's just a round pier..." Yang Bin laughed.

"That's great! How far will it take to get there?" Tang Wen couldn't wait.

"You'll be there with a turn ahead." Yang Bin pointed to the front and said to Tang Wen.

"Have you arrived?" Tang Wen couldn't help but speed up and ran over first, then stood at the corner, looking at the other side strangely.

Yang Bin and Gu Zhan also followed. As soon as they walked by the corner, Yang Bin was stunned on the spot...

The courtyard in my memory has disappeared, leaving only a pile of ruins, and the jujube tree, which is only two years younger than Xiaolan in my memory, has fallen on the ground. On the ground where the courtyard was once located, there were piles of bricks and stones, as well as piles of river sand and cement.

The same bricks and stones, rivers and other building materials were also placed beside the wall of the Zhao family's courtyard, and there was also a sound of drinking and clamoring in the Zhao family's yard. Yang Bin pushed open the yard door and walked in and looked inside, and saw the three brothers of the Zhao family drinking with some people in the yard.

"Oh? Is Xiaobin back?" Zhao Fengguang, the boss of the Zhao family who was sitting in front of the yard, looked here and greeted Yang Bin with drunken eyes.

Zhao Fengguang's two younger brothers Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wuguang also turned around together, and they also looked drunk and furious.

Dutou Town was poor. It started in the early 1980s. Due to the continuous drought, the population was very severe and continued until the mid-1990s. During this period, the population was decreasing every year, so no one was in charge of family planning. At that time, most of the people who stayed in Dutou Town had more than one child. The Zhao family opposite was a large family with more than one child, and they had three sons and two daughters.

After Yang Bin's family gave birth to a son and a daughter, the family planning policy in Lutou Town began to tighten. In addition, Yang's father and mother didn't want to have so many, so there were only Yang Bin and Yang Lan.

Relatively speaking, there were very few people who could have brothers and sisters in this era. Yang Bin and Yang Lan were considered happy, but compared to the prosperous people of the Zhao family, it was a big witch.

There are three brothers in the Zhao family. Zhao Fengguang is seven or eight years older than Yang Bin. Although he was not a neighbor before, he had many opportunities to be together because he was a child of a teaching staff at Lutou Town Middle School. Because Yang Bin was young and only had one son at home, he was only bullied in front of the three brothers of the Zhao family. This situation continued until the third grade of junior high school when Yang Bin grew stronger.

It can be said that Yang Bin has been practicing hard since childhood and fighting junglers and betting hard. Most of the reasons are caused by these three brothers, because he doesn't want to be bullied by them all the time.

During the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, Yang Bin, who was about to turn 16, fucked the brothers Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wuguang alone in the school playground. Later, the two brothers called Zhao Fengguang again, but Yang Bin was fucked again. Of course, both sides were denied the lottery, and the three brothers of the Zhao family suffered far more injuries than Yang Bin.

After the parents of both sides learned about this, they sat together and criticized the four of them severely. The Yang family also paid more than 1,000 yuan for medical expenses to calm the matter.

But after that, the three brothers of the Zhao family dared not provoke Yang Bin anymore, and Yang Bin's title of a second-hand man and a desperate man was initially called out by these three brothers.

After the Tian Yuan family sold the homestead to the Zhao family for some reason, the Zhao and Yang families became neighbors. Although the neighborhood relationship between the Yang and Zhao families seemed to be good during that period, Yang Bin always believed that it was the result of Yang's father and Yang's mother's tolerance. For example, the passage between the two families was originally public, but the Zhao family built a large chicken cage at the end of the passage, with one end facing the Yang family's courtyard wall and the other end approaching the Yang family's courtyard gate.

The chicken cage could have been built in their own yard, but it was deliberately built in a public area. The walls of the Yang family were low. Every summer when the wind was blowing, the smell of chicken manure came. If the Yang family didn't close the doors and windows, there would be almost no one at home.

Even if the doors and windows are closed, it smells very bad at home. It’s just that people’s sense of smell is adaptable and they can’t smell it after a long time.

Of course this is just one of the things. The other things are more about Yang's father and mother dealing with the Zhao family. After Yang Bin left home in high school, he didn't know much about him. But Yang Bin really didn't have any good feelings for the Zhao family. Not only did he have much affection for these three brothers, but also for Zhao's father and mother who gave birth to such a lot of men and women.

Zhao's mother's surname is Bai, and she was Yang Bin's class teacher in junior high school. Yang's father and mother probably put Yang Bin in her class because they were neighbors and taught in the same middle school. However, until Yang Bin graduated from junior high school in three years, she had not even entered the Communist Youth League, and she was the only two students in the class who were incoming the Communist Youth League.

By the way, except Yang Bin, another student who did not join the group had a bit of cerebral palsy and could only take care of himself, and his grades were awkward.

Yang Bin felt that the person surnamed Bai was deliberately targeting him, but Yang's father and mother didn't think so, thinking that it must be caused by Yang Bin's failure to abide by discipline. Anyway, Yang Bin joined the Communist Youth League in the first year after attending Yunsha County High School, so the matter was left unresolved.

It was not until college that Yang Bin learned from a junior high school classmate who had some relatives with the Zhao family that the reason why Teacher Bai refused to let him join the Communist Youth League was not that he performed poorly, but that it was just that during the Yang family, during the festival, they did not go to his house to pay New Year's greetings like other students!

Of course, there were more students who did not give New Year gifts, but Teacher Bai resented Yang Bin, thinking that Yang's father and mother were not etiquette and did not know the rules. They also inadvertently told the classmate to the classmate's parents that it was unintentionally spread to Yang Bin's ears.

Yang’s father and mother taught for more than ten years, but never received any gifts from students. Instead, they helped many students. They didn’t feel that they were teaching in the same middle school and gave gifts to their colleagues, so they ignored this point. Unexpectedly, Teacher Bai was resentful and insisted that more than 50 students in the class joined the group, but Yang Bin and a child with cerebral palsy were not allowed to join the group.

Yang Bin never mentioned this matter with his family.

The main reason is that I feel that the past is over, and there is no need to be so petty with a middle-aged woman who is ugly inside.
