Chu Dongpo smiled as he dialed the number. After hanging up, he said, "It's settled. We'll meet at Maigu Alley."
He Zhou said, "Drive your car. I won't. Otherwise, I won't be able to find a driver if I drink at night."
He opened the door and got into Chu Dongpo's car.
Chu Dongpo drove to the gathering place. Before the car came to a complete stop, he saw six or seven people standing at the entrance of a small shop. Some were smoking, and some were drinking water.
He Zhou said, "I told you to get two or three people. Who told you to get so many? Fine, you'll have to pay tonight. I can't afford to treat you."
"I told Old Kui and Big Tooth." The county was not big, so Chu Dongpo was not surprised that everyone came so quickly. However, he was surprised that so many people came. But then he felt relieved. After all, he was greeting people in He Zhou's name. "You're the boss. You said I'll treat, so I'll treat. It's no big deal."
Their circle was different from Liu Shan, Liu Jiawei, and the others. In their circle, He Zhou was the center. Although He Zhou never considered himself the boss, they unconsciously treated him as their leader.
When the people at the entrance of the small shop saw Chu Dongpo's car, they all came to welcome him.
Chu Dongpo pulled down the car window and smiled. "Wait, I'll park the car."
He Zhou got out of the car first and threw a cigarette to each of them. These people were either his primary and junior high school classmates or the children of his mother's business partners. He asked a young man with a big mouth and thick lips, "Old Kui, what have you been up to recently? I haven't seen you every day. "
This was his primary school classmate and neighbor, Xiang Kui. The two of them had been very close since they were young.
Xiang Kui said, "I've been busy with matchmaking. I was drinking milk tea with a girl a few minutes before I came here. It's so boring."
He Zhou said, "You don't like her?"
Xiang Kui said, "Although men don't rely on their looks to make a living, she just doesn't like me. I can't help it. I'm not a shameless person. It's impossible for me to chase after her."
He Zhou said, "That's because you haven't met anyone you like. If you meet someone you like, you'll naturally pursue them."
Xiang Kui said, "I don't know what's going on with my family. They introduced me to either nurses or teachers. I've been afraid of injections since I was young. I shuddered at the sight of doctors and nurses, and I hated teachers. Now that I don't have to go to school anymore, I can't live if my family has to provide for a teacher."
"If you can't catch up, just say it. What's the point of talking so much nonsense?" The young man standing next to him had a high nose bridge, big eyes, and a delicate face. The only flaw was that he had rabbit teeth. It could be said that his teeth ruined his entire face.
He was Wang Dong, the big fangs He Zhou had mentioned.
After Chu Dongpo parked the car, he asked the two of them to accompany him to the Dreamy Internet Cafe. When he came back, he said, "My guess is right. The bastards are all here."
He Zhou said, "They're all children. Don't be too heavy-handed. Just teach them a lesson."
Big Incisor said, "I love bullying children the most."
Chu Dongpo said to the fatty standing next to him, "Fatty, go in and scare them out."
The fatty was very tall. Standing in the crowd, he was like a crane among chickens. He had a thick waist and a round face. When he heard Chu Dongpo's words, he said in a low, muffled voice, "Okay, I can carry two with one hand."
He Zhou smiled and asked, "Fatty, are you sure it's okay?"
The fatty was his primary school classmate. In the first year of primary school, he had already grown to 1.7 meters. Although he was big, he was not very smart and had been bullied by his classmates since he was young.
He Zhou himself didn't understand why Fatty would always stand up for him in elementary school. He would always give Fatty a share of his snacks. After that, Fatty would listen to everything He Zhou said. Later on, no one could say for sure who was helping who, because whoever He Zhou said to hit, Fatty would hit.
He Zhou relied on the fact that he had Wu Song to back him up. From elementary school to middle school, he dominated.
In the second year of middle school, the leader of the "Thirteen Gangsters" wanted to establish his dominance in front of him. Naturally, he did not back down. He said, "Fatty, go!"
He Zhou, Chu Dongpo, and the others did not have the chance to make a move. The fatty fought one against five. As He Zhou stared in shock, the silly fatty smashed the people with a brick.
The so-called "leader" cried worse than a child. His parents came to cause trouble and caused a scene in school. No matter what my son did wrong, he was still a child.
He Zhou said to the fatty, "A man should bear the consequences of his own actions."
He was afraid that if his mother found out, he would not be able to avoid a beating.
However, he had not considered that he had almost destroyed a family by doing so, causing them to be doomed eternally.
In the office, as a witness, he saw the fatty's lame father holding his silly wife and kneeling to the so-called victim, begging for forgiveness. The fatty beside him had long been beaten black and blue by his father.
The arrogant victim's family demanded two thousand dollars for medical expenses.
Even so, the fatty did not give him up.
In the end, he did not know who snitched on him. Maybe it was Liu Shan, Chu Dongpo, or Wang Dong, but his mother still found out. His mother asked Chu Yang to come forward and settle it.
Until now, he still comforted himself by saying that he was young and inexperienced. Sometimes, he also wondered, if no one snitched on him, would he have the courage to confess to his mother?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs. If it did not mean that it did not happen, but this kind of thing did happen.
Growing up until now, he regretted this the most.
He could not help but feel a lot of guilt towards the fatty.
The fatty was not smart enough, and his high school entrance exams were a mess. His family conditions were not good, so naturally, he could not afford the borrowing fees.
His father ran a car repair stall at the intersection of Chessboard Street. A stall did not need two people. After being introduced to the restaurant, the fatty worked as a waiter. He was clumsy and could not do this kind of thing. In less than a week, he was fired.
The boss said that there were not enough customers for him to offend.
Later, he went to the neighborhood to work as a security guard. The job was suitable for him. He was tall and strong, and when he stood there, he looked quite good. However, he was very unlucky. When the big boss came to inspect, he looked down at the big boss expressionlessly. His attitude was very disrespectful.
In a fit of anger, the big boss did not want to keep him for the New Year.
He lost his job again.
Later, he became a construction worker, and no one dared to trouble him anymore.
No matter how poor He Zhou's pocket was, he would occasionally give him three or two hundred dollars. He would also rob from the rich to help the poor. He would take some money from Chu Dongpo and the others' pockets and give it to the fatty.
After graduating from high school, he wanted to go to university. He was worried about the fatty, so he begged his mother to help the fatty settle down. His mother did not refuse. Through her connections, she arranged for the fatty to be a chef apprentice in the restaurant.
From the fatty, he understood what it meant to be 'born to be useful'. He was born to be a chef, and now he was a chef in the restaurant.
