Bloody Journey: Those Years in Northeast China

Chapter 15 Big gangsters in urban areas

"Tianlong, who was that little girl just now? How did you know each other?" Chen Tiezhu asked strangely looking at the direction of the two girls' disappearing backs.

"Dahuizi's younger sister was bullied on the train, and I helped her later."

"Fuck, what are you doing with this business, they don't have a good thing." Chen Tiezhu said angrily.

Although it was the first time I saw Yang Hai'e, in Chen Tiezhu's consciousness or in the consciousness of most people in the Red Square Mining Bureau, they believed that the old Yang family's family style could not produce good people at all.

"Well, that little girl is a nice person. She caught thieves on the train and acted bravely. I think she is not the same as his brothers." Shen Tianlong explained to Yang Hai'e.

"Oh." Chen Tiezhu nodded, but did not speak.

Chen Tiezhu actually didn't care what kind of person Yang Hai'e was.What matters to him is what kind of friends Shen Tianfang has made.It has to be said that Chen Tiezhu can definitely be regarded as a good brother-in-law of the person in charge.

"Tianlong, that kid just said that Tianfang knitted sweaters for their teacher Wang, do you think Tianfang has taken a fancy to their teacher?" Chen Tiezhu said, and he even nicknamed Yang Hai'e by the way.

"Well, it's very possible. Otherwise, Tianfang wouldn't have run away in a hurry, she was afraid that we would interrogate her." Shen Tianlong thought for a while and said.

Hearing Shen Tianlong say the same thing, Chen Tiezhu became a little anxious, and said: "Fuck, what should we do? These stinky old nines don't have a good thing. Why don't we go and chop her teacher first."

When Chen Tiezhu was young, his academic performance was not good, and he was mischievous in class, and was always beaten by the teacher.So I always hated my teacher.Later, during the Cultural Revolution, teachers in various schools were called stinky old nine, just like landlords, rich, counter-revolutionaries, bad actors, and rightists, they all belonged to the object of criticism and belonged to bad elements.It's enough to make Chen Tiezhu happy.Until now, Chen Tiezhu has always been prejudiced against the profession of teacher.

"Fuck, why are you undermining others? Now the country says that teachers are engineers of human souls. How about when you were still in the Cultural Revolution?"

When Shen Tianlong heard that Chen Tiezhu was going to beat up Shen Tianfang's teacher, he was so annoyed that he paused and continued: "Let's eat first, and after we finish, go to school and ask Tianfang what's going on."

The two ate and chatted, and drank some wine.After drinking and eating, he came to school again and found Shen Tianfang who was in class.

But when the two asked about Shen Tianfang knitting sweaters for the teacher, Shen Tianfang's face was flushed, and her lips were tightly pressed together, even though their mouths were worn out, they didn't say a word.After asking a few more words, Shen Tianfang's tears began to roll in his eyes.

"Forget it, Tianfang, you go back to class first. Remember to study hard." Shen Tianlong felt distressed when he saw his sister was about to cry.

"Why did you let her go back? It's not a trivial matter." Chen Tiezhu was a little anxious when he saw Shen Tianlong let Shen Tianfang go.

"What can we do if we don't allow it? Didn't you see Tianfang's expression of resignation to death? Yes to Liu Hulan, let's go, let's go to her teacher."

The two came to the teacher's office area again, and found Teacher Wang's office after inquiring.But I was told that Mr. Wang went to Beijing for further studies and would not come back until a month later.In desperation, the two walked out of the school resentfully, ready to go home.

Just as the two of them had just turned on their bicycles and were about to get on the bus, they suddenly heard a roar from under the wall on the left side of the school gate: "Don't your mother give you shame, let you go with my brother, it's because I think highly of you!" .”

Following the prestige, a group of people gathered together, and there was a girl crying from among the crowd.

"Go, have a look!" The two put down their bicycles and walked towards the crowd.

Under the school wall, there was a beautiful girl in a fiery red sportswear like Yang Hai'e, standing tightly against the wall while crying.And a man with permed hair and a monkey cheek with a sharp mouth, leaned on the wall with his arms, wrapped the girl in his arms, and was talking about something.

More than a dozen men in flared trousers and flowered sweaters stood beside him, surrounded by the wire-haired man in a sultry look, laughing non-stop, and uttering obscene language in their mouths.

In the early 80s, wire hair was a very popular hairstyle among the gangsters in Hongqi City.The hair is very long, usually shoulder-length, with very small curls, as if the steel wire of a spring has been pulled straight, hence the name steel wire hair.

Steel wire hair perm generally needs to meet two conditions, first: the hair is hard enough.Only hard and thick hair can be ironed into wire hair, and the hair looks like it is one by one and not messy.If the hair is soft, the hair will be lumped together after the perm, and it will be like a chicken coop.

Second: It is hard enough at hand.Hongqi citizens are tough, especially in the 80s.Even when two people are walking on the road, they can fight just because they see each other's walking posture is not pleasing to the eye, let alone such unconventional steel wire hair.Therefore, there must be enough force to protect your hairstyle.

Chen Tiezhu had encountered such a thing once.When Chen Tiezhu walked, he always walked like a tiger, with his head held high, as if he was defiant.Once, when he accompanied Shen Tianfeng to the city department store to buy things, he was suddenly stopped by several people.

"What are you doing so awkwardly?" one person asked

"I'm used to it, what's the matter?" Chen Tiezhu had experienced many battles and had a bad reputation in the mining area, so how could he take the city's bastards seriously.

A few people disagreed and started fighting.

When Chen Tiezhu grabbed one of the bastards by the hair and slammed his head against the stone lion in front of the department store, the other bastards, seeing the blood, broke up and ran away.

"It's really hard!" Chen Tiezhu cursed.

"The gangsters in the urban area are too soft!" This is the unanimous evaluation of the gangsters in the coal mine.

The great underground poet Erhuizi once wrote a poem, systematically summarizing the characteristics of bastards in various districts of Hongqi City.

Although Chen Tiezhu got angry as soon as he heard his brothers coming home, when he heard the poem Erhuizi for the first time, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh suddenly, drank half a bowl of sorghum wine with a degree of more than 40 degrees, and kept shouting Three good.

"Okay, okay, okay, second time, don't think that fighting is not good, but writing poetry is really urgent, okay, you are so fucking talented!"

Chen Tiezhu doesn't have much culture, so the poems that can make Chen Tiezhu applaud must be easy to understand and close to life, similar to the "wind", "elegance", and "song" in the Book of Songs, they must not Enter Chen Tiezhu's eyes.

The poem is short, but well written.This poem is like this: "The tiger in the mining area, the wolf in the pastoral area, there are big hooligans in the urban area, and the children are sent to the second middle school, and the second middle school is the number one student!"

Regarding the situation of the No. [-] student in the second middle school, I will not comment for the time being.The first three sentences alone have vividly described the image of the gangsters everywhere in the minds of the people of Hongqi City.

In Chen Tiezhu's words: "The bastards in the urban area can only make broken shoes. They are no match for fighting." Chen Tiezhu sells meat in the mining area, buys from the cold storage in the urban area, and occasionally acts as a second-hand dealer. Go to the pastoral area to collect cattle and sheep.It can be considered that the gangsters in the three areas of the mining area, the urban area, and the pastoral area have some understanding.But to understand is to understand, Chen Tiezhu is not as good as Erhuizi, and he will never be able to write such brilliant poems.
