Chapter 9, black heart
It is said that if a tree does not need its bark, it will surely die; if a person has no shame, it will be invincible in the world.
When a widow indulges in lustful thoughts about men, neither the serious nor the unscrupulous can do anything to her.
Lu An felt that he was unlucky in this matter, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb and let it go.
Get dressed, put the uneaten meat in the afternoon into a bamboo basket, and hang it into the patio. The weather in this season is still relatively hot, so you can't let it go rancid.
It's been almost a day since he was reborn, and he hasn't touched any high school books yet. It's been a waste of time. To be honest, he feels very unsure.
So he lit a kerosene lamp and started to get mad.
In his previous life, he was a professor at the 211 Foreign Languages School and was sensitive to language. In order to regain the feeling of studying, he first read English books.
Fortunately, half an hour later, he found that high school English was simply child's play for him. From listening, grammar, cloze, reading comprehension to the short composition at the end, he could learn everything at his fingertips.
Then came Chinese. He flipped through two textbooks in succession. Maybe he had accumulated enough knowledge in his life and felt that it was pretty good and not difficult.
But some things that were memorized by rote still required him to spend time memorizing them.
There were no problems in the two main subjects of English and Chinese, which relaxed his tense nerves and gave him a little confidence.
Mathematics was once the subject that Lu An was proud of throughout his student life. Now that he has read it all the way, his face has changed.
The basics are still there, and I am still deeply impressed by some questions and some mathematical formulas. But there are so many things that have been lost, and it is impossible to regain the former glory in a short time.
Finally, there is politics, history and geography. After reading through it, I can only describe it as "miserable". His ability to understand is his strong point, but his foundation has collapsed. No matter how strong his understanding ability is, it is useless? He has to start from scratch.
English and Chinese gave him breath and made him feel that he was still alive.
Mathematics and political history made him stop breathing and die again.
This is like an old man who went to a club and was very excited when he first saw the young model. But when the young model highlighted a "tender", his bones fell apart and he wanted to call the police, but regretted it.
Sighing deeply, he really wanted to lie down on the bed like this, hoping to wake up and find that today was just a dream. He was still drinking with his confidante, and her confidante unbuttoned three buttons and left him undefended.
That night, he first read mathematics for four hours, then memorized politics for two hours, and didn't sleep until it got dark.
Lu An had a dream, dreaming of Meng Qingchi, with clear wind and floating clouds, mist across the five lakes, and her body shining brightly.
The dream suddenly flickered, and the person next to the pillow turned into Widow Zhang. She was smiling proudly and wildly, and she turned over again in the laughter.
hiss.!
Lu An took a sharp breath of cold air. He was awakened and his hands and feet were cold.
Widow Zhang, are you done yet? In the dream, you didn’t even let me go. The fortune teller said you should wear mourning 6 times, but you only wore it 3 times. Don’t look for me.
I put on my clothes, lay down at the window and looked outside, and found that it was still the old Guifei Lane, and the broken porcelain bowl was still lying in the yard.
Well, nothing has changed, he can't go back, he accepts his fate.
Boiled noodles for breakfast.
He pulled half of the uneaten meat from yesterday and put it on top. After eating it in a hurry, he bought a bag of candy and a bottle of Erguotou at the entrance of the alley, and took a bus to the west of the city.
It was less than a year before the college entrance examination, and time was very tight. He couldn't waste a single minute. Since some things had been decided, he should do them quickly.
The lobby uncle Jacky Lu lives in the west of Baoqing City. Before the Republic of China, this area had always been a slum, where the poor gathered together.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, earth-shaking changes took place here. As far as the eye can see, there are all tall chimneys, billowing thick smoke constantly spraying into the sky, and the wind can blacken the ground for thirty miles.
There is a staff area behind the chemical plant. The houses here are all sheds made of dry pine trees and iron sheets.
The road was winding and narrow, going around several alleys, and after passing a public toilet with yellow water dripping from it, Lu An found his cousin Jacky Lu in a dark room.
Jacky Lu is a bit hunchbacked, his beard is unkempt, and his clothes are so greasy that a mouse would stick to them.
He was widowed in his early years, and his two sons were extremely divided. The eldest son served as a soldier and received state food, while the younger son worked as a gangster on the street. Living alone for a long time made the house very messy and dirty.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you."
Lu An walked in, put his things on the table, and chose a relatively clean place to sit down.
Jacky Lu was lowering his head to file the iron lump just now. Hearing this, he turned to look at him, and then quickly turned his head back. The scene was very awkward for a moment.
Lu An pretended to ask, "Uncle, your neck and chin are cleaner than other places. Did you get licked by a cat last night? And you got flowers from it?"
He almost laughed. As an old fitter who has been working for 30 years, his uncle's fingernails were filled with heavy oil stains. His entire face, hair, and even teeth seemed to be coated with a layer of rust, and there was even more odor coming from his body.
A smell of lubricating oil.
The smell of lubricating oil mixed with body odor can kill a dog 5 miles away.
After being discovered, Jacky Lu showed his true colors as a hero. He patted the dust on his pants and then patted Lu An on the shoulder:
"The gold bars should be big and the ingots should be small. The water in this area is very deep. Your pubic hair has just grown and you don't know what it feels like yet."
Lu An echoed: "I know, I know, uncle, as a fitter, technology! Technology is the most important thing!"
Jacky Lu laughed and said proudly: "The ancestors have appeared, and our Lu family has another genius."
Then we came to a restaurant, and Lu An told us the purpose of coming today.
Jacky Lu broke off the chopsticks and picked out a thin piece of bamboo as a toothpick in his mouth:
"Repairing a bicycle is a science, just like if you are dating 50 women at the same time, you have to make sure you don't call them by the wrong name in bed. How to maintain each part and how to repair it must be done exactly."
After listening patiently to Uncle Hall's words, Lu An said: "I didn't think about becoming stronger and bigger, I just wanted to improve my family's life, and it would be great if I could earn some college tuition."
When he heard the words "university tuition", Lu Xueyou, who had just made a lot of nonsense, immediately became serious: "Don't underestimate a stall like this. I stall at the entrance of the alley for 2 hours a day, and I can earn as little as 400 a month."
Yuan, up to 800 yuan. If you learn this skill, it will be enough to make a living."
Luan knew a lot about this industry, but he still humbly asked him for advice on various technical issues, and took away a set of maintenance tools when he left.
A mile away, Jacky Lu taught the core secret to Lu An: "It is easy to make a lot of money in the maintenance industry, but the most important thing is to have a dark heart.
After the bicycle passes through our hands, it can not only go forward, but also go backwards.
The white ones need to be turned into black ones, the parts need to be tricked into changing them frequently, and you need to learn how to scatter broken glass. You have to remember this."
Lu An said: "I will do my first homework after I go back, which is to collect glass bottles."
Jacky Lu was surprised, patted him on the shoulder again, and said sincerely: "Xiao An, you have been very smart since you were a child, so you must not spend too much time repairing cars to make money.
It is said that the skin of the female students in the university is better than that of the ones in the workshop. Now you have a tough talk, which is just what you want."
Lu An turned around and held the other person's hand, and said sincerely: "Uncle, thank you. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely invite you to stay on the fifth floor of the Imperial Concubine Hotel for a month."
Jacky Lu's squinted eyes suddenly opened a little: "I heard that there are ocean horses from Xiangjiang there?"
Lu An winked: "Yes, there are black and white ones."
Jacky Lu encouraged: "Then you have to work hard. I will start to keep in good health from today and wait for you to come back."
