Chapter I On the southeast coast of Jiangdong Province, Yezhou County, an old community called Longteng.
The winter evening sun spreads in from the entrance of the community, dragging the figures of the returning owners for a long time.
Looking at the sun, Uncle Zhang, who repaired shoes at the entrance of the community, lit an old dry cigarette and was ready to close the stall after smoking.
Although there is still some time before the New Year, the community can obviously feel the flavor of the New Year in the past few days.
Some of the children of old neighbors who work in other places have come back one after another, and it seems that school is going to be closed for the next two days.
It's all back, and it's going to be lively again.
In a few days, it will be colder, and the stall will no longer be able to be placed.
Looking at the old neighbors and their children who had returned to the community to greet him one after another, Uncle Zhang smiled and nodded in response while smoking an old dry cigarette, with kindness on his face.
Watching these children and acquaintances go in and out of the community every day, Uncle Zhang has an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
They have all grown up, and many young people don't recognize them themselves.
Over the years, some old neighbors have moved away with their children, and some of their children have started families, and there are fewer and fewer familiar people and familiar scenes in the past.
Not only these old acquaintances and old neighbors, but there are also many strange new faces in the community, even Uncle Zhang can't name them.
This is also the old community in the county town of Longteng, and most of the neighbors in it are still familiar with it.
If you change to another new community, I'm afraid you won't know each other if you live in a face-to-face area.
In addition to the neighbors who took the initiative to greet them, there were some old neighbors and young people who didn't even look at them, as if they didn't know them, and some even had disdain on their faces.
Some of them even grew up watching themselves, and when they were young, they didn't play at their own shoe repair stalls, ate the candy they gave them, and asked for their own help.
Alas, thinking of this, Uncle Zhang sighed.
Just as Uncle Zhang was thinking about this, a shrill car horn sounded, almost deafening Uncle Zhang's ears.
At the same time, a brand-new car came to the entrance of the community.
"You're back?"
Looking at the young man with glasses on the white modern sedan with red cloth hanging on the reflector, Zhang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with a smile.
"Hmph~" The young man glanced over again, pushed his glasses, and then snorted coldly in disgust.
The window was closed directly, and then at the moment when the railing of the doorman in the community was raised, he stepped on the accelerator and drove into the community.
"Hehe~" Seeing this scene, Uncle Zhang smiled and didn't say anything.
But in his mind, a picture of a child with glasses gathered in front of his shoe repair booth is shouting, and in the picture, the child is holding the candy he gave him.
In the picture, when other children bully him, he helps him get angry.
Scene after scene, so familiar.
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. has lived for more than sixty years, Uncle Zhang is used to seeing everything, and he has long been used to it.
It's just a little uncomfortable and lost.
And just when Uncle Zhang was thinking about this, "A broken modern, the tail is cocked to the sky!"
A voice came from the long shadow of the setting sun.
With the voice, a tall, thin, high school student-looking teenager walked over with a blue nose and swollen face.
On this teenager's body, there is a school uniform with 'Yezhou No. 1 Middle School' written on it, which is covered with footprints and blood stains.
Although he was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and swollen, and his nose was still stuffed with toilet paper with blood, the young man's face did not have any timidity or fear, but a ruthlessness that he would one day return it.
"Uncle Zhang, have my parents come back?"
As soon as he came back, the young man came to Zhang Boxiu's shoe booth and asked anxiously and skillfully.
"They haven't come back yet, wipe the blood from their faces.
What, there was a fight again?
Seeing this young man, Uncle Zhang's previous frustration suddenly dissipated a lot.
While looking at the young man, Uncle Zhang said with a smile while looking for some paper.
Lei Ming, the son of Lei Qinghe, an old neighbor in the community, lives upstairs with him.
It's a good child, he has a good heart, but he is playful, and then he owes his mouth and loves to use his mouth to fight unevenly.
People send nicknames and mouth thunder, and the opponent shoots his mouth, and the result can be imagined.
In addition, this Lei Ming is in his third year of high school this year, and Uncle Zhang has grown up watching it since he was a child.
"It's okay, I have it."

Looking at it again, the boy named Lei Ming took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and stuffed it into his nostrils, a little embarrassed.
"It's good that I didn't come back, I'll hurry back and wash, otherwise my parents will see it and discipline me again."
"It's so cold and it's almost the New Year, Uncle Zhang, don't come out to set up a stall, how good it is to stay at home."
While speaking, the young man named Lei Ming also glanced twice at the outside of the community, obviously afraid that his parents would suddenly come back and see him like this.
"I know, I just can't be idle, I want to set up a stall outside and see you children and old neighbors."
Listening to Lei Ming's words, Uncle Zhang's heart warmed, and at the same time he continued, "Da Ming, do you remember what Uncle Zhang told you?"
Sometimes people are good and are deceived by others, and when they can't bear it, don't bear it.
Those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, those who are horizontal are afraid of dying, it's a big deal to fight, and you can't just move your mouth, do you know?
You don't need to endure anymore, you know?
Seeing Lei Ming's embarrassed look, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but say again.
This is also that he is old, if he was young, seeing this child being beaten like this, Uncle Zhang would definitely have taken turns on the bench to stand out for Lei Ming.
As soon as Uncle Zhang's words were finished, Lei Ming returned on the other side, "I know Uncle Zhang, I can't bear it, I didn't just say it today, I also did it." ” "That?"
"It's true that you can't beat it, that's the price." “。。。。。”
"There were so many of them that they blocked me in the streets during the holidays.
But fortunately, I ran fast, and a brick was put into a fat man, and I didn't lose anything!
There was a thunderclap of pride. “。。。。。”
"I'll go back first, don't tell my parents."
Looking at Lei Ming again, he changed a piece of toilet paper and plugged it on his nose, and then he was in a hurry to go home.
"Okay, I know."
Seeing this scene, Uncle Zhang couldn't cry or laugh.
However, there was more relief in Uncle Zhang's eyes.
Because what he saw in Lei Ming's eyes was not fear, not the kind of sulking in his stomach when he lost the fight, but thinking about revenge and going back, with a ruthless spirit.
It's not like many children who are scared of being beaten, and the more they beat, the more honest they become.
This expression is exactly the same as his sister Lei Nuan's back then!
This kid can make it happen.
Glancing at the figure who was about to leave, Uncle Zhang, who was about to sit down, was about to sit down.
But suddenly Uncle Zhang remembered something, and at the same time picked up a strange express package that was placed on the stall at his feet.
"Loud bang!
Wait, there's a courier for you!
” "Huh?
My courier?
Hearing this, Lei Ming, who had just been in a hurry and was about to go back to destroy the corpse, was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and ran back.
If there is anything in life that is extremely happy, receiving express delivery is definitely one thing for Lei Ming.
"Aren't the couriers all in the supermarket of the eighty-one woman in the community?"
While taking the express, Lei Ming also asked.
The supermarket is a middle-aged fat woman, relying on how much money she has in her family, plus her daughter is a good mix, she often doesn't take the neighbors in the community in her eyes, and scolds Huai's chewing tongue.
Usually Lei Ming is counted down and despised, once this woman chewed the tongue of her parents and sister was heard by Lei Ming, and she couldn't bear to fight the two of them.
Since then, a little rabbit cub, an eight woman, and two nicknames have spread in the community.
In addition, the express delivery of the community is generally placed in this supermarket.
"Eight women?"
Uncle Zhang smiled wryly.
It's because you scold other people's eight women, so people don't accept your courier.
"Look at it, Wang Meili threw it out for you.
Thankfully, I walked over and took a look, otherwise I would have been thrown into the trash.
Oh, and also, this courier is a little wrong.

Zhang Bo said with a smile, and at the same time glanced at the courier while handing it over.
Hearing Uncle Zhang's words, Lei Ming glanced at the 'Meimei Supermarket' not far away.
Sure enough, a fat woman was looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the supermarket, with a smug face and a face that made people gnash their teeth.
"Paralysis, this cheap 1 person."
Seeing this scene, Lei Ming's teeth were gritted.
But at this moment, my father and mother are coming back, and now I am in a bloody mess, so Lei Ming endured it.
I'll get you sooner or later!
Lei Ming thought in his heart, and at the same time raised his middle finger in the direction of the supermarket's floor-to-ceiling glass window.
He was met with the smug and mocking look of a fat woman in the glass window.
At the same time, when he took over the express, Lei Ming was also stunned.
I touched it through the plastic bag, the express box was not big, and the jewelry box was slightly larger.
But the name of the courier company, the logo, and the pattern text on the milky white plastic bag made Lei Ming confused.
"JD Express?
What the hell is this?
Does the Ming Empire have this courier company, have you heard of Uncle Zhang?
Glancing up at Uncle Zhang, Lei Ming looked surprised.
