Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 3 Young people should look far ahead

Shen Yu was the first to arrive.

When he walked into Datou BBQ restaurant, he was greeted by the greasy smell of a restaurant. Shen Yu looked around and saw a few tables full of people.Old decoration, tiles full of footprints, and black dirt in the greasy table seams.

After finding a random seat and sitting down, Shen Yu picked up the paper towel on the table and wiped the edges around it. Then he took out his old Apple 8 and sent a WeChat message to his son, "Where are you?"

"Don't worry, I'll be there in a minute."

Shen Yu knew that this guy must be starting in half an hour, and he might still be at home at this time.This kid has been in trouble since he was a child. He always has something to do every time he goes out, but he also controls his time very carefully.The delay will definitely be half an hour, and the error will not exceed 5 minutes.Shen Yu simply picked up his phone and took some time to read a novel.

After a while, a man about 173 years old, with a full head of hair, a well-proportioned figure, an average appearance, and dark skin stood at the door and looked around.Shen Yu turned his head and took a look, smiled, raised his right hand and waved.

When the man saw Shen Yu, he came over with a smile and sat down next to Shen Yu.Shen Yu immediately smelled a faint smell of engine oil mixed with iron filings.

"Second brother, you arrived first, where is the eldest brother?" Fa Xiaosun Yebo asked with a smile.

"You don't know about him yet?" Shen Yu smiled and looked at Sun Yebo's hair, and asked doubtfully: "Has a hair transplant? Where is your Mediterranean?"

Sun Yebo touched the top of his head sheepishly and said with a smile: "Hair transplantation is so expensive. Is it true to get a wig?"

Shen Yu looked around, nodded and said, "It's indeed true. How much did it cost?"

"It's more than 3800. It's pretty good, but it's a bit boring in summer." Sun Yebo said with a smile and rubbed his hands.

Shen Yu saw that there was still some slight black stain in Sun Yebo's fingernails that had not been cleaned, and that his arms were slightly thicker. He smiled and asked, "How are you doing in the factory recently?"

When Sun Yebo heard about it, he immediately said with a painful expression: "Don't mention it, I work overtime every day, I'm exhausted. I just got off work, and I got a call from my eldest brother."

Shen Yu said with a smile: "You get overtime pay for overtime work. How much can you get now in a month?"

Sun Yebo said with a grimace: "Now that I work overtime, I can earn about [-] yuan a month in terms of piecework. But recently, the administrative people have been arguing every day that our salary is higher than theirs and they want to reduce our salary. Damn it, those Shabi guys are squatting in the office every day blowing the air conditioner, and they think the wages are low, so we should let them go to the workshop and try to use the lathe."

Shen Yu said: "Isn't it true that all administrations are stupid? By the way, is your wife pregnant?"

Sun Yebo sighed and said bitterly: "No, last time I had an ectopic pregnancy and half of my fallopian tubes were cut. It's not easy to get pregnant. And now she stays up late every day to use TikTok and doesn't go out to exercise. It's very difficult."

After hearing this, Shen Yu also sighed and said, "If you can't do it later, I'll have a test tube. Now test tubes are not as expensive as before."

Sun Yebo nodded and held his waist and said: "I know, I have this plan, let's wait a little longer, after all, the cost of test tubes is still a lot. I recently want to transfer to do quality inspection, and I have to work hard every day. It’s a bit too much.”

Shen Yu asked helplessly: "Let's go get some massage for the blind, moxibustion or something like that."

Sun Yebo said: "I tried it. It was better at first, but then it didn't work anymore. Anyway, now I get home from get off work, wash up, and lie down on the bed. It's more comfortable than anything else."

"Brothers, have you missed me?" At this time, a loud voice sounded from behind. Shen Yu and Sun Yebo stood up and turned their heads to look back. They saw a dark fat man with 183cm open his hands, smiling and shaking his head. , walked over casually, holding three cups of milk tea in his hand.However, Shen Yu found that there was something obviously wrong with the pace of this guy's left foot.

This person is another childhood friend of Shen Yu, a graduate student at Waseda, Chen Hang.

Shen Yu looked at it, smiled and cursed: "What a big change, why does it look like a black wild boar now?"

Sun Yebo called from the side: "Brother."

Chen Hang smiled nonchalantly, patted the two of them and said, "You think I'm thinking of you? Indonesia is a place where birds don't shit. If you stay there for four years, you'll definitely be like me. "

The three of them sat down and Shen Yu looked at Chen Hang carefully. He had long greasy hair with white hair and a simple warrior hairstyle.The chin was unshaven, the skin was tanned, and the body was fat.After sitting down, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and there was an obvious mark on the Yintang area.

Chen Hang smiled and picked out a cup of milk tea, photographed it in front of Shen Yu and said: "Then, your favorite cheese and grape, three-point sugar." Then he photographed another cup in front of Sun Yebo.

Shen Yu smiled and opened the straw, stuck it in, hesitated, and asked: "Your feet?"

Chen Hang looked over with sharp eyes, and Shen Yu suddenly thought of it, and the word "Eagle looks at the wolf as the wolf looks at it" suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chen Hang's eyes suddenly softened again, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing to worry about. I injured my tendon, but fortunately it can still be used."

Shen Yu and Sun Yebo didn't know what to say when they heard this. Chen Hang said with a smile: "If you don't have anything, hurry up and get some. The horse's mouth is like a bird. In Indonesia, the horse eats something every day." Rotten vegetable leaves, rotten meat.”

Sun Yebo said with a smile: "Not yet, I'll wait for you to come over, brother."

Chen Hang stood up with a smile and walked towards the freezer and said, "Hurry up and light up, then." Shen Yu felt a little bored looking at Chen Hang's huge, somewhat limping back.

It turns out that he is a good-looking, high-spirited and gentle turtle studying abroad.What happened in Indonesia to make him like this?

After everyone ordered the barbecue and sat down at the table, Chen Hang avoided heavy topics and started talking about games directly. "You two guys, I asked you to accompany me to play World of Warcraft Classic Server, but I don't want to play it. It's too boring for me to play alone. The Internet speed at the Indonesian construction site is as slow as a dog. Okay, I'm going to shut down the server now." No, I can only play on the Taiwan server."

Shen Yu saw that Chen Hang didn't want to talk about Indonesia, so he also smiled and said: "You have been a game enthusiast since you were a child, and you all know about my family. Now I am under a lot of loan pressure, and I really don't have time to play."

Sun Yebo added on the side: "Our factory calls for overtime every day, and I don't have time to play. Now I just want to sleep when I get home."

At this time, the waiter of the barbecue restaurant happened to bring a plate of barbecue. Chen Hang took a bunch and ate it, and then said: "The taste has changed, it is not as delicious as before."

Shen Yu said: "When the business is good, it's gone and I don't care about doing things anymore. We are not fools. You are really insincere, and everyone can feel it."

Chen Hang sighed and said: "You guys were still happy when you were young. Everyone was very kind at that time. You guys, I took you to the Internet cafe to play games. There were a lot of delicious food, but you can't eat it now."

As the topic was being discussed, somehow, the three of them started to brag.
Chen Hang said: "Back then, my dad was ranked among the top five in Yong'an County. Look at the Longfor and Dingfeng properties now. I didn't even know where they were at that time. A group of leaders from the municipal party committee persuaded my dad to do this. He doesn't engage in real estate. Apart from the land in the villa in the city, what else does he have left? If he had done real estate back then, how could our family have gotten to where it is now? Now we are just doing our own business. His properties are all making money. He reaped the dividends of the times and made money. Now that he is doing this project, the price is transparent, but the head office over there is still delaying the project payment. At first, the whole family advised him not to He insisted on taking on the project in Indonesia. He didn't do it himself, so I stayed there for 4 years. 4 years. He was on that inhospitable island with no one around. It’s painful as hell.”

Shen Yu said: "In the final analysis, it was the dividend of that era. The money came in too quickly. He was immersed in the illusion that he had the ability to make so much money. After the tide receded, he finally fell heavily to death. In the final analysis, your dad just didn't have it." The ability to make money consistently.”

Chen Hang said angrily: "You know I was in Indonesia, what did my project manager say to me? He said that my dad was working on engineering at that time. He would sleep until noon, have a meal, and go to the construction site. If you don't like it, I won't go back to the hotel. Otherwise, I'll take a deck chair and bask in the sun at the entrance of the construction site. This horse-riding guy doesn't look like a moneymaker."

Shen Yu and Sun Yebo both laughed when they heard this.Sun Yebo continued: "Hey, my dad was a senior engineer at that time. At that time, the food factory and the power supply bureau were competing for my dad. My dad was afraid of poverty at that time and chose the food factory. I regret it now. To die."

Shen Yu said with a smile: "If your dad gets into the power supply bureau, he will probably be an official. When the three of us are included, I won't want to fight anymore."

Sun Yebo said excitedly: "My dad knows how to get around, and became the workshop director in the second year after joining the food factory. Although he later became the general manager, the factory's efficiency is not good. Now I only have one year's salary." Not even 10 yuan."

Chen Hang also received the message excitedly: "Your dad has a senior engineer certificate. He is probably a chief engineer even after joining the power supply bureau. If he is a technician, the director will probably flatter your dad."

Sun Yebo sighed and said decadently: "Sometimes people's choices are really important. One wrong step will lead to the next wrong step."

Chen Hang also said decadently: "Back then, my brother took you to play and play games. I thought that when we grew up, I would be able to take you to take off. Who knew that my family would be like this now. Now I can only invite you. Let’s have some barbecue or something, I’ve wronged you.”

Shen Yu smiled and comforted: "What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't learn well at first and didn't take studying seriously. Only after we got out of society did we realize that various careers and various things have thresholds. In fact, I’m still not good enough, and it has nothing to do with you.”

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down. The three of them chatted for a while and looked at the time. Sun Yebo suggested that they leave, so the three of them paid and left.

At the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, Shen Yu asked: "Send you two back?"

Sun Yebo said: "No, my home is not far. I'll take a walk. You can see my brother off."

Shen Yu looked at Chen Hang, who smiled and said, "What are you looking at? I don't have a car. My dad's car is out of gas. I don't want to give him gas. I can take a taxi."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Let's go then. Villa or Xinyuan?"

"Xinyuan, you are too lazy to see my old man." Chen Hang said with an unhappy look on his face.

After Shen Yu and Chen Hang said hello to Sun Yebo, they got in the car.Shen Yu started the car and drove towards Xinyuan, Jay Chou's Last Battle echoed on the speakers.

Chen Hang sang along with the music with great interest: "In the smoke, I think of the smell of popsicle soda, and the smell of doing nothing all summer." After a while, Chen Hang said with emotion: "It's still Jay's Good old songs.”

Shen Yu said with a smile: "Indeed, now I am impetuous, the songs are all copied, and there are many that I don't understand. However, Jay is our youth."

Chen Hang stared out the window intently and murmured: "Youth."

Shen Yu said: "I remember listening to Jay Chou's CD in your living room when I was a kid. Your favorite was the Indian song "Old Turtle Dove."

Chen Hang turned his head and said with a smile: "You dare to say it's not nice?"

Shen Yu smiled and did not answer. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your feet?"

Chen Hang looked greedily at the light outside the window again and said nothing.

Seeing that Chen Hang had no intention of chatting, Shen Yu drove the car silently, and the sound system switched to Jay Chou's "Stop the War." After the prelude started playing, Chen Hang said tiredly: "Let's go downstairs to my house and have a chat."
