Although there is only a fence separating the Lu family and the Kang family, if you want to get past, you still need to go around.

When I arrived at Kang's house and entered the door, I heard Aunt Kang's cry coming from inside the house.

Lu Aiguo opened the door and a family of three walked in.

I saw Aunt Kang sitting on the bed, her eyes red from crying, and Uncle Kang sitting in the corner sighing.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Lu Aiguo came in and asked, while Song Shufen sat down in front of Aunt Kang.

"This life is unbearable. Kang Jian was beaten up in school and was arrested by the police station and put in a small cell. He was told to pay compensation. If he didn't pay, Kang Jian would have to stay in a fence (prison)."

As soon as Aunt Kang spoke, her tears started to flow even more fiercely.

"Isn't it normal for grown-ups to fight? I haven't seen anyone let the blackmailer go, so what's the point of beating him up?"

Lu Aiguo's words are really not nonsense. In this era, when children fight, there are really not many people who call the police and let go.

At this time, people in the Northeast subjectively believed that this was normal. If their heads were broken and they needed stitches or something, it would be good if they could pay for the medical expenses. Many of them treated themselves by themselves.

If you lose, you won't tell anyone, you can only wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Aunt Kang said: "My head was broken and I needed 6 stitches."

"That's not a big deal. How about shutting down the trumpet?"

"The child's father is from the Mining Education Bureau. Why didn't he just stick to this matter and bully none of us? He asked for three thousand yuan in compensation. The school also looked at his face and expelled Kang Jian.

.”

Aunt Kang was crying while talking, and the towel in her hand was obviously soaked.

"Expulsion means expulsion, then the teacher is not a good person and will go astray."

Uncle Kang said something unexpectedly, and he stood up.

Lu Ye understood what was going on.

Kang Jian, that kid, was just like me. He was usually very aggressive and not good at studying, but he had a bad temper and loved to fight against injustice.

This time I was asked to help someone out in school, and I met someone with a background.

"Three thousand yuan is too much."

Song Shufen was surprised. Three thousand yuan was her thirty-month salary, and it would take nearly three years without food or water.

"Yes, isn't this bullying? Who can afford so much money?"

Lu Aiguo and his wife followed Uncle Kang and his wife in the house, discussing. Lu Ye came out of the Kang family's house and went outside alone. He stood in the yard and watched the stars twinkling in the sky, especially the Big Dipper.

After quietly admiring it for a while, Lu Ye saw such a beautiful starry sky for the first time.

In the past, there were many high-rise buildings, as many cars as flying locusts, and the air pollution was serious. It seemed that it was always foggy, and it was rare to even see a blue sky.

After watching for who knows how long, Lu Aiguo and Song Shufen came out of the room and saw Lu Ye raising his head blankly and looking at the sky.

"The stars are really big today."

"It's quite big."

The family of three left the Kang family's yard and walked towards their own home.

After returning home, Lu Ye locked the door of his house before entering the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lu Aiguo saying that he would go door to door to send money back tomorrow or something.

Lu Ye didn't care, got himself a basin of water, washed his face, and returned directly to the west room.

At this time, Lu Hao had finished his homework and was memorizing English words silently.

In the late 1970s, the Ministry of Education made adjustments, and most students in Northeast China began to learn English instead of initially learning Russian.

Only a few schools in border areas still study Russian.

Lu Hao looked at the English words in the textbook and read with the unique taste of Northeast China: "first ray of sunshine in the morning."

Lu Ye frowned. Just say this. Can a foreigner understand it?

"Which teacher taught you to pronounce it like this? You must have eaten too much."

"My English teacher, he even praised my speaking skills as the best in the class."

Lu Ye didn't take it seriously. In his previous life, he flew to the United States without hesitation, and his spoken English was no different from that of an authentic American.

"Bullshit! Remember me, first ray of sunshine in the morning."

This English sentence came out of Lu Ye's mouth, not only fluently, but also very natural, and the pronunciation was obviously different from Lu Hao's.

"Brother, do you know what this sentence means?"

Lu Hao was shocked by Lu Ye's fluent English. In order to verify Lu Ye, Lu Hao asked.

"This sentence, translated into Chinese, is: the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Are you still here to test your brother?"

Lu Hao was really surprised at this time. In his impression, his brother Lu Ye had no academic talent. He couldn't flip through the textbooks all year round and dropped out of junior high school before finishing.

In the few months of his junior high school career, he probably didn't even see a few English words.

That's it. How did Lu Ye do it? His English is so good.

"Brother, where did you learn English? Why are you so good? You can teach me."

"You have to listen more, speak more, and memorize more words in English. When I get back, I will buy you a tape recorder and I will try to get some English tapes. You can practice along with me."

"The tape recorder costs hundreds of dollars. How can you have so much money?"

"Just study hard. Your parents are counting on you to go to college and honor your ancestors. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Lu Ye took off his clothes, got on the kang, spread out the bedding, and then nestled in the corner again, holding his little notebook and writing mysteriously.

After a long time, Lu Ye showed a smile.

Looking at the information he recorded in his notebook that only he could understand, Lu Ye murmured to himself: "Being a security guard is not as easy as doing business. There are really business opportunities everywhere in this era, but it's a pity that there are too many restrictions.

, you have to keep a low profile!"

Lu Hao saw Lu Ye giggling on the kang and asked, "Brother, what are you doing, so happy?"

Lu Ye turned his head and replied angrily: "Children, don't ask around."

"You are only two years older than me, why are you pretending to be an adult?"

Seeing that Lu Ye didn't say anything, Lu Hao didn't ask any more questions and continued to study. However, Lu Hao secretly looked at Lu Ye from time to time.
