C20 Brother(1)
The next morning, Grandpa Bian was dispirited and his face was pale. He sat in the living room with a frown, his dirty eyes staring blankly at the breakfast on the table. He looked like he was in his twilight years.
Yesterday, he had been tossing and turning all night. He did not understand what had happened at dawn. He thought about his son's illness and thought that it would be dawn soon.
The sound of footsteps on the stairs could be heard. Grandfather Bian trembled as he got up to greet him.
Bian Liang's hair was messy and his clothes were untidy. He carried his schoolbag and walked out leisurely with his sleepy eyes. Grandpa walked towards him. He was too lazy to even lift his eyelids.
His grandfather chased him to the door and supported him on the door frame, shouting Liang Liang.
This child didn't eat dinner, nor did he eat breakfast? His shouting was futile, and Bian Liang continued to walk out of the village without looking back.
Grandfather stood there with a blank expression.
Bian Liang arrived at the bustling vegetable market. The unique fragrance of egg pancakes assailed his nostrils. The middle-aged woman was still skillfully making the egg pancakes, and she sliced the sausage piece by piece onto the egg pancakes that were about to mature.
He suddenly thought of the fashionable woman's little white dog and specifically reminded her not to put the sausage in. The stall owner gave a loud "OK!" He sprinkled the onions and rolled them into a roll and gave it to him.
Bian Liang chewed on the egg cake and slowly walked towards the school. Ever since he found out about his background, He felt that everything had changed. His classmates had strange looks in their eyes. The teachers also looked at him strangely. He knew that the students did not say anything. In their hearts, they were all looking down on and mocking him, especially when Xiao Min looked at him from the corner of her eye with a smile that was not a smile. She was saying, "A bastard that no one wants. "
Bian Liang was in pain, and he was also furious and aggrieved. However, he was unable to say anything. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was about to go crazy from holding it in.
It was a very long day. He endured it, and finally, school came to an end.
He walked out of the school gate, and suddenly didn't know where to go. Go home? Is that my home? He clenched his fists. Ouch! There was a pain on the back of his hand. He looked at the band-aid on the back of his hand and cursed in his heart. What a stupid pig. He did not have a good memory. A dog is worse than a pig or a dog. Yes! There are people pampering a dog. What about himself? His biological parents didn't want him, and Father Jiang didn't want him. Now, the so-called parents treated him as a substitute and a shadow. When he thought of this, his heart was filled with resentment. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the internet cafe in the opposite direction of Peach Blossom Village.
He had long wanted to go to that place. Why not go there and broaden his horizons to relieve the anger in his heart?
The internet bar was located on the old street of Xiping Town. It was relatively remote. Usually, there were not many pedestrians, and there were very few shops.
Bian Liang walked to the door of the internet cafe and observed it carefully. It was an ordinary two-story house. There was a foam board hanging on the wall of the window on the second floor, with the words "internet cafe" written on it.
He went up the small staircase next to him and reached it. On the second floor, there was a small sign printed on A4 paper at the door. It said, "Children are not allowed to enter. " Bian Liang hesitated for a moment, but still quietly walked in.
The lighting inside was dim and the air was turbid. It was a mix of human and machine sounds. In front of rows of computers, there were all young people. Each of them wore headphones and crazily fought like there was no one else around. They were making gurgling sounds from their mouths. They were completely immersed in the game world.
Everything in front of them made Bian Liang feel refreshed. He stood there stupidly for a while to adapt to the gloomy environment inside. He walked to the front desk. He carefully handed over a red hundred-yuan note with the intention to try his luck. He was very worried that his boss would reject him, but who knew. . . The boss took the money and very naturally gave the change to Bian Liang. He was delighted and nodded to his boss to express his gratitude.
He walked to an empty seat. He was in trouble. There was no computer at home, so he had no idea where to start. Next to him was a thin and weak young man. He was not tall and his hair was messy. He was shouting and yelling while playing games, totally ignoring his existence. Bian Liang didn't understand. If he was playing a game, then he was playing a game. Why did he have to shout like that?
Bian Liang wanted this little brother to teach him, but he didn't dare to interrupt him. He could only watch in a daze.
After about ten minutes, the little brother finally returned to reality from the illusory world. He frowned and asked in puzzlement, "First time coming?"
Bian Liang nodded in embarrassment and was at a loss as to what to do.
"No?"
Bian Liang still nodded.
"Come! I'll help you turn it on. " He introduced himself. "My name is Zhang Wei. How about you?"
"My. . . Name is Bian Liang. "
Zhang Wei walked to Bian Liang's computer and his fingers jumped on the keyboard for a while before he opened a game. "This is the simplest. Let's practice first. "
Bian Liang looked at his skillful operation and was very impressed. When he stood up and let himself get on the computer, he asked timidly, "You. . . Do you come here often?"
Zhang Wei did not even look up and said, "Of course, I come here every day. "
"Every day?" Bian Liang was very curious, where did he get so much money from?
Zhang Wei tilted his head and smiled mysteriously at him.
Bian Liang stared blankly at the computer, not knowing how to start.
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Come, I'll bring you to play one. I guarantee you will be able to do it once you learn. "
Bian Liang felt grateful in his heart. The surrounding classmates looked down on him, but he was so good to him.
Under Zhang Wei's demonstration, Bian Liang quickly got started. Every time he pressed a button, the score would immediately appear when he hit the right button. Furthermore, there was also an affirmative tone. This was something that had never happened before. Bian Liang's confidence doubled. After a few hours, he had won Zhang Wei's praise. He was very happy in his heart. Bian Liang did not expect that he would have such talent when it came to playing games. He was in a good mood, and the depression in the past two days was swept away.
After tasting the sweetness, Bian Liang couldn't stop thinking about it. He hadn't even finished school every day, so his heart had already flown into the internet cafe.
A few days later, Bian Liang and Zhang Wei called each other brothers.
Zhang Wei's friendliness had completely exceeded Bian Liang's expectations. He was extremely satisfied. No one here looked down on him. On the contrary, his little brother, who was only a few years older than him, was still helping him and treating him as a good brother. Zhang Wei even told them about the situation at home without any reservation. This trust, this affection. . . It touched him very much.
Zhang Wei's father was a gambler. He owed a debt and sold the only house in the family. His mother could not bear to be chased by people every day. After the divorce, she left without a trace. Zhang Wei and his father lived in the rented house. They lived a poor life. Not long after, the debtor found out that his father was trying to avoid debt. There was also no news of him after he left. Only Zhang Wei and his old grandparents lived together. From then on, He became a wild horse without any restraints and became a frequent customer of the internet cafe.
After listening to Zhang Wei's story, Bian Liang felt that Zhang Wei was even more miserable than him. He suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for his brother. He no longer felt inferior in front of his big brother.
In the next few days, this pair of brothers would roam the Internet every day. Today, as usual, after they finished a few rounds, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Zhang Wei touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go. This brother will treat you to a meal. "
Bian Liang was stunned. It can't be? Treating him to a meal?
Seeing Bian Liang's dumbfounded expression, Zhang Wei smiled. "Let's go. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Invite a meal? Bian Liang's heart heated up. In his long life, no classmates or friends had ever treated him to a meal alone.
He gratefully followed Zhang Wei downstairs. From now on, he was sure that this slovenly little brother was his real brother.
The two of them dragged their shoes and lazily walked to the street. Outside, the autumn wind was blowing. Under the dim street lights, there were few pedestrians on the street. A cool breeze blew over, and there was a little chill. He felt that the short clothes and shorts he was wearing were a little cold.
They sat down at a roadside stall nearby and chatted as they ate. Zhang Wei called himself big brother. He gave Bian Liang a few "agreeable" suggestions. "If you want me to say it, it's not bad to go to school. But we are not that kind of person. As the saying goes, 360 lines, a top scholar in the industry. I am not praising you. You're very talented in gaming, so you can play this game well. You can still earn money. "
Zhang Wei's words made Bian Liang feel very comfortable. He felt a little light-headed. Other than the automatic instant praise in the computer when playing games, Big Brother was the first person to discover his own strengths and praise him on the spot. Unlike the teachers and classmates in the school, They would only mock and ridicule him. In their eyes, He was completely useless from head to toe. Now that Big Brother said that he could earn money online, he had long heard of it. Now that he was the one to lead the way, he was overjoyed.
Bian Liang stood up and filled Big Brother's cup with beer. He smiled and said, "Listening to Big Brother's words is better than reading for three years. Big Brother is indeed Big Brother. You can't not accept it. " Bian Liang cupped his fists to express his gratitude.
To put it in another way, it was also strange. This was the first time in Bian Liang's life that he had become loyal to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei was happy in his heart, but he deliberately did not show it on his face. He continued, "Have you heard of Alibaba? Has Ma Yun heard of it? "
"Who hasn't heard of it? Everyone on Earth knows about it. " Bian Liang glared at him and thought to himself: He really underestimated people. If he said he was fat, he would catch his breath.
"What do you know? Do you know who Ma Yun hired with a high salary of 5 million?" He deliberately glared at Bian Liang.
Bian Liang was slightly stunned, as if he had heard of it before, but he couldn't recall it for a moment. He deliberately avoided Zhang Wei's eyes and kept chewing his mouth, pretending not to hear anything.
"Big Brother, let me tell you. Ma Yun invited a little boy called 'Brother Dao'. His name is' Wu Hanqing '. He is a top online expert. His annual salary is less than 20 years old and he is already 5 million!"
5 million? Really? Fake? Bian Liang's mouth was wide open as he looked at Zhang Wei with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Wei nodded affirmatively in a serious manner.
It seemed like he was really ignorant and ill-informed. Five million? What kind of concept was that? He had originally thought that he would be inviting a top expert from overseas! Bian Liang was astonished and had a sudden epiphany. There was actually such a good thing in the world. To be able to play such a big game and earn so much money. . . It was simply inconceivable. No wonder his classmates looked down on him. Not in this circle, not only were they laymen, Sometimes, he was simply an idiot.
Zhang Wei became even more spirited. As he talked, he suddenly remembered something. He cleared his throat and asked, "Have you heard of 'Dream Journey to the West'?"
Bian Liang nodded. He had just found out about it and had not played it yet. He did not know how it was like.
Zhang Wei raised his head and drank a cup. He wiped his mouth and spoke with confidence. He introduced the glorious performance of this online game. On August 15, 2012, at 14: 45, 'Fantasy Journey' had set a record of 2710 thousand people online at the same time. There was a record of 3. 100 million people registered. What kind of concept was this?
Bian Liang blinked his eyes and looked at him. He thought that this game must be very fun, so there were so many people playing at the same time, right?
Zhang Wei laughed out loud. "You are really stupid when I say you are stupid. Think about it. 2710 thousand people are online at the same time. 310 million people registered. What does that mean?" Bian Liang still had a blank expression on his face. He glared at Bian Liang and continued, "It means that it's reasonable. According to your previous theory, It's not good to play online games, it's a waste of time. It affects learning, you say. . . Think about it, there's a total of 1. 4 billion people in the country. . . About 1 / 4 of them registered this game, which means. . . Among the four of them, one of them played this game. This didn't include the fact that at the same time, there were also many other games such as' The War Heroes', 'The King's Alliance', and so on and so forth. Think about it again? If playing games was not good, why did no one care? Why did they produce so many games every year? Did they not know that playing games was a waste of time? There were so many people in the country who did not know that only your mother knew how to waste time? Have you ever thought about this problem in your head? My mother always said, My mother said. Sigh! Let me ask you, how much does your mom know? " He scolded Bian Liang harshly.
Bian Liang was stunned by his words and was truly dumbfounded. He felt that it made a lot of sense. There was no computer at home. He didn't have a phone, so he couldn't digest the data of so many new words. Other than being stunned, he couldn't answer a single word. Almost everyone in the school had a phone. Why was he isolated? Why did he become a different person in their eyes? Obviously, it had something to do with playing games. After a few days, the facts proved that. . . To be able to gain respect and pleasure from playing games, hitting the target with one click. . . That one second of praise definitely increased his confidence. . . The more he played, the more accomplished he felt. In order to achieve better results and surpass others, Perhaps this was the reason why so many people were obsessed with the game!
Seeing Bian Liang's silly look, Zhang Wei was extremely happy in his heart. As his elder brother, he continued to lecture him from above. "You must be kidding me! Remember, everything is reasonable. There is value in existence. Just like cigarettes, which also have the words' Smoking is harmful to health ', isn't it still produced? Some cigarettes even have the words' discouraging teenagers from smoking 'written on them. It was forbidden for primary and secondary school students to smoke. Even if they knew that it was poisonous, they would still 'stop' it. Even though they knew that it was poisonous, why didn't they just give the order to shut it down like how it was prohibited to smoke? Wouldn't it be fine if they didn't produce cigarettes? It would save them from harming people's health. It was such a simple matter. Why didn't anyone take care of it?" As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He continued:
"Besides, the game still hasn't stated 'harmful to health', right? Not only that, but. . . On the contrary, it has been releasing tens of thousands of new games, turning on computers and smartphones. Can you count how many games there are in China? So! Whoever gains the upper hand will win. Why did Brother Dao succeed? Wasn't he aiming for the bright future of the Internet? He stepped into the Internet a step earlier than the others? He seized the upper hand and had a good job that would make others envious. Don't you think so?"
Bian Liang was really dumbfounded this time. What Big Brother said made sense. What was wrong with playing games? What do you mean by addicted to the internet cafe? Go to hell! Even the government wants us to play happily. A mother who has no culture but doesn't allow us to play is ridiculous. When? When would he be able to easily earn so much money while playing games? That would be great. His vision suddenly became clear, as if he had seen his own beautiful future.
The slovenly and inconspicuous Zhang Wei in front of him, his new ideas and ideas that were advancing with the times, made Bian Liang look at him in a new light. He was impressed, and he was so impressed that he was prostrating himself on the ground.
Bian Liang had a feeling that he had seen him later, but he didn't know how to express it. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with his big brother's wine glass. Before Zhang Wei could say anything, he drank it all in one gulp. His mouth was stupid, and everything was in silence.
After drinking a large glass of wine, he mustered up his courage and put on a serious expression. He said to his big brother, "When I become an online expert and earn money, see if they still dare to look down on me. Let them be envious!" He was no longer confused. He believed that he would definitely create an enviable blue sky in online games.
For a long time, Bian Liang had never been as happy and happy as he was now. He opened his heart wide and opened his heart to the sky. After two bottles of beer, his face was flushed and he was dizzy.
It was already late at night when he stumbled back home.
Grandpa Bian was so scared that his legs went soft when he saw Bian Liang return in the middle of the night, drunk. He could not figure it out. What had happened to Liang Liang recently?
The next morning, Bian Liang's head still hurt a little. He stopped a hundred meters away from the school gate, his eyes searching the students who passed by.
Little Min rode a bicycle over, and Bian Liang stopped him. After whispering to him, Little Min kept nodding her head. Very soon, Little Min rode towards the school.
Bian Liang carried his schoolbag and proudly went straight to the Internet. Then he left.
After entering the internet cafe, he smiled at Zhang Wei and threw his schoolbag to his feet. He turned on the computer and soon, he was shaking his head and running around in the game. He started to talk non-stop.
In just a few days, Bian Liang didn't have much money left. Yesterday, he also went back to treat his brother to a meal and spent more than 100 yuan. He also bought himself a pair of beautiful tourist shoes that were worth more than 200 yuan. The money was not used yet, it was almost gone.
He was in trouble. If he didn't have the money, how could he enter the internet cafe? If he didn't enter the internet cafe, how could he practice games? If he didn't practice games, how could he earn money in the future? He thought of the New Year money that he had received for many years. Right! Where was the New Year money that Father Jiang gave him? With so much money, he must have hidden it somewhere at home.
Bian Liang rushed home in a hurry and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. He only needed to tear down the cabinet and find a few coins. He was so angry that he threw the coins out of the window. He thought that his mother must have given his money to the old man for treatment.
He went to the internet cafe dejectedly and sat in front of the computer with a heavy heart. He was too lazy to turn on the computer.
Zhang Wei pushed it and lit it up. "Why are you unhappy?"
Bian Liang sighed again and muttered in his heart, How can I play games without money? How can I treat my brother to a meal? He has already treated me to a few meals. As for me. . . . . .
Soon, it was mealtime. Zhang Wei smiled at Bian Liang and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you downstairs to get some food. "
Bian Liang nodded gratefully.
Ever since he got to know Zhang Wei, Bian Liang was no longer lonely. He felt that he had someone to rely on. The key was that he was considerate and always thought of you. Since he was hungry right now, he would treat him to a meal.
The two of them walked into a small supermarket along the street.
Zhang Wei shuttled between the shelves and sneakily avoided the surveillance cameras. When the salesperson was not paying attention, he took a bag of biscuits from the shelves and stuffed it into his pocket.
Bian Liang was stunned. He was so nervous that his hands started sweating.
Zhang Wei acted as if nothing had happened and swaggered out of the supermarket.
Bian Liang recovered his senses and quickly walked out of the supermarket too. He heard his own heartbeat. It was obvious that what Zhang Wei did had nothing to do with him, but it was as if he was a thief. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. A gust of autumn wind blew and he could not help but shiver.
The two of them went to a corner, one in front and one behind. Zhang Wei calmly flaunted the "spoils" that he had just stolen to Bian Liang. He divided half of it and gave it to Bian Liang very righteously.
Bian Liang retreated. It was clearly biscuits. But he felt like it was a bomb that could explode at any time.
"What? I've never seen the world. Are you hungry? Forget it if you don't want to eat. " Zhang Wei stopped eating and started to eat. His manner of eating was exaggerated and proud.
"When you are really hungry, only then will you know how important and wonderful it is to have food. "
Seeing his big brother eating so well, the fragrance of the biscuits drifted over. Bian Liang was even hungrier. He could even hear the gurgling sounds in his stomach. He endured it again and again. He saw that he had eaten more than half of it. His stomach became even hungrier. He thought to himself, It's not like I stole it. What does eating have to do with it? After thinking it through, he unceremoniously snatched the remaining 'spoils' from his big brother's hands.
Not only was Zhang Wei not angry, he even laughed loudly. "Didn't you say you won't eat? Clear and lofty? Why did you eat it again? " He put on the airs of a big brother and scolded him properly. If it wasn't for his cowardly appearance at that time, he would have taken a bottle of mineral water no matter what. It wouldn't be to the extent that his mouth would be filled with powder and he would not be unable to swallow it.
After eating the biscuits, his stomach was still not full. The two of them walked along the street and arrived in front of another small supermarket. Zhang Wei stopped in his tracks and indicated to Bian Liang, "Now it depends on your performance!"
Bian Liang was shocked. He wanted to go by himself? No! No! He pulled his long face and stared at the goldfish in fear as he shook his head.
"He's really as timid as a mouse. " Zhang Wei was a little disappointed. "Coward! So boring. How are you going to follow me in the future? I really don't have enough brothers. "
Bian Liang was very conflicted. Would Big Brother look down on him in the future as well? But I can't steal it either? What should he do? He lowered his head.
Zhang Wei was very angry and threw it away. One sentence: "Coward. He turned around and left.
Bian Liang stood there in a daze, going to steal? No way! Go to the internet cafe? His brother would definitely be scolded if he was angry. He had to calm his anger. He had been tired of playing these few days. He should go home and have a good sleep. At least he had food at home. Right, go home!
