Ode to Pear Blossoms Part 1

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Laoliu finally returned to the autumn garden. When he came back, he brought Yi Zhen a new down jacket. It was not the kind in the store that didn't have much down, but he ordered a good one in Baiyangdian. Duck down, a piece specially made by someone, feels thick and warm.

Qiu Peijue also brought him a pair of new cotton boots. They were of a good brand. They were a bit too big for his feet, but they fit right after two layers of cushions.

After Yi Zhen put it on, he looked left and right in front of the mirror, and he liked it very much in his heart. Xu Laoliu saw his happy appearance behind him, and the light lines of his smile came out.

Not many days after the new year, the children started school, and Yi Zhen returned to school wearing new clothes. Except for the one-hour bus ride to school, there was no difference.

Because everyone started school, except for Bai Bing, who was close to Qiuyuan, Chen Qingyuan, Li Jiaqi, and Shao Xiaowu only took one day off to learn opera on weekends.

Bai Bing comes twice a week, because the school is relatively close to Yi Zhen's school, and sometimes they can meet up and go back to Qiuyuan together.

Bai Bing actually had a good impression of Yi Zhen, but because of the relationship between his seniors and the others, he didn't dare to get too close to Yi Zhen, but after returning to the autumn garden together several times, Bai Bing felt that Yi Zhen was a quiet child.

Bai Bing found that Yi Zhen would take the initiative to give up his seat to the elderly on the bus, and sometimes he would take out a small notebook to memorize words, or memorize the lyrics and music Grandpa Yuan taught him when he was stuck in traffic.

Once Bai Bing fell asleep in the back seat of the bus because of a serious traffic jam, so Yi Zhen took off his new down jacket and covered her with it.

Bai Bing is the only daughter in the family, because her family background is good, she will always be spoiled and pampered, and she is well versed in the style of doing things that are irrelevant to herself. Although she is not as smart and sophisticated as Li Jiaqi, she has never been so smart when her senior brother bullied Yi Zhen in the past. Said a word for him.

So when she woke up and saw Yi Zhen was very cold there, but the down jacket was on her, her heart was warmed up.

Later, in the WeChat group, when Li Jiaqi talked about disdain for Yi Zhen, Bai Bing would say, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it." Gradually, Li Jiaqi also understood, and stopped talking about it.

Ever since I was a child, whether it was intentional or not, Chen Qingyuan and Yi Zhen hardly met each other, and Chen Qingyuan deliberately avoided Yi Zhen.

One was that he didn't expect those three students to make such a big fuss, and Huang Mao was admitted to the hospital at a young age. Although it was nothing serious, because he instigated the beating, Father Chen finally paid for the medical bills.

Second, he was really afraid that Yi Zhen would sue, that his master would find out, and that Yuan Yi would tell the school teacher, so that he wouldn't be able to mess around in school.

But he didn't expect that no one would mention this incident, as if it never happened.

In school, he has always been a student with excellent character and academic excellence. Whenever he sings his voice in a performance, he will always be greeted with applause. The girls in the class will always insert small notes for him, but he doesn't even look down on him. This sense of superiority seems to get bigger and bigger with age, so that he never thought that one day he would not be looked down upon, but there is only one person who has never looked down upon him since he entered the autumn garden.

This person is Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi is also a famous figure in school. Although he is not good at studying, he can't get up and down. It seems that he just needs to pass every exam. However, because he is handsome and energetic, he can play basketball well and can fight. The girls in the school like him. There are not a few of him, and because he doesn't always show up at school, he has a higher sense of mystery.

At the beginning, Chen Qingyuan didn't want to become an enemy with him, but when Yuan Yi saw him, it was like seeing a transparent person. This attitude made Chen Qingyuan, who had been superior for a long time, lose face, and gradually he hated him. Yi Zhen.

Chen Qingyuan couldn't see the advantages of Yi Zhen at all. If he had no family background, no background, maybe even Xu Laoliu would have to chip in for school money. Yuan Yi was so close to him, which made Chen Qingyuan even more angry.

So when Yuan Yi blocked him in the stairwell after school that day, Chen Qingyuan was even more furious.

Yuan Yi stood a step higher than him, and said condescendingly: "Chen Qingyuan, do you think that's all for you to find someone to beat Yi Zhen? Let me tell you that it's not that cheap!"

Chen Qingyuan stared at Yuan Yi: "Then what do you want?"

Yuan Yi smiled: "It's nothing, an eye for an eye, Yi Zhen was beaten up badly by you, and I will beat you up badly today, isn't this matter over?"

As he said that, he kicked Chen Qingyuan into a corner, and knocked his face against the wall with his hands. Chen Qingyuan screamed in pain.

The fat man was watching the wind in the corridor, and when he looked back, his smiling teeth were gone.

Chen Qingyuan covered his face and glared at Yuan Yi angrily. He knew that he couldn't beat Yuan Yi, and said, "I don't understand, what's wrong with that little kid Yi Zhen, you just stand up for him like this?"

Yuan Yi said: "I want you to have a long memory. Don't bully others in the future, especially those who are younger than you. It's her fault that your mother gave birth to you and didn't teach you. I can't see you going on the wrong path, can I?"

The fat man whistled in the stairwell: "The patrolling teacher is here, let's go."

Yi Zhen looked down at Chen Qingyuan who was huddled in the corner: "I let you go today, but please remember, if you dare to touch Yi Zhen again, I will make you unable to eat and walk around. If I don't make trouble in the autumn garden, I will If I make trouble at school, I'm not afraid of demerits, aren't you afraid?"

After speaking, he walked with his long legs and followed the fat man.

Chen Qingyuan covered his face and looked at the back of Yuan Yi leaving, tears rolled in his eyes.

Perhaps it is human nature to bully the weak, Chen Qingyuan thought, otherwise he would not hate Yuan Yi for beating him, but hate Yi Zhen who did nothing but received care.

There is no reason, just hate.

In any case, let Yi Zhen get out of Qiuyuan, this is his only thought.

This day, Yi Zhen went back to Autumn Garden with Bai Bing after school, and Li Jiaqi stood at the door to greet Yi Zhen when he entered the door, and saw Yi Zhen stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be growing up again." It's too high!"

Yi Zhen was dazed by her enthusiasm, and turned to look at Bai Bing, who also looked at Li Jiaqi as if she had seen a ghost.

Li Jiaqi pouted her pink lips and said, "What's the matter? I can't be enthusiastic about Xiao Zhen'er at all? Do I have to make it so tense?"

Bai Bing shook his head and said, "No, no, everyone is kind and nice."

Li Jiaqi said: "I am waiting for you to have dinner together! Brother and Shao Xiaowu are also back today!"

Shao Xiaowu laughed from the back and said, "We have been waiting for half an hour. Senior brother and little senior sister said they would wait for you. I didn't believe it at first."

After all, Yi Zhen was still young, because he had few possessions, so once he smiled at him, the past hatred immediately disappeared.

After entering the dining hall, the master spoon was a little surprised to see the four people coming in together, and he smiled and served them rice.

Sitting there on the big table, Chen Qingyuan had some bruises on his face that others couldn't find, and he put on a smiling face: "Today, everyone is really neat, Yi Zhen, will you eat with us too?"

Yi Zhen stood there, hesitating whether to go there, Shao Xiaowu hurriedly pushed him to the dining table: "It's rare that senior brother is in a good mood today, let's have dinner together, Xiao Zhener, you must be hungry after sitting for so long!"

Yi Zhen didn't think much, and sat down at the table.

Everyone at the dinner table had a good time. Li Jiaqi shared interesting things in school with everyone. Bai Bing also talked about the TV series he watched when he was stuck in traffic, and some interesting jokes about the Spring Festival Gala. I was a little happy.

Until returning to the South Room after dinner, Yi Zhen felt that his mood was soaring.

After all, children are lively and well-intentioned, and Yi Zhen is no exception. Yi Zhen doesn't like to bear grudges against someone, it's too tiring, and Yi Zhen thinks it would be nice if it could be like this forever.

It's a pity that eight-year-old children are far less popular than 12-year-old children. Until the next day when Li Jiaqi was learning opera with Qiu Peijue, she yelled: "My mobile phone is gone!", and then said to the master: "Yi Zhen sat next to me yesterday." Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

Later, Qiu Peijue brought her three apprentices to the South Room, found Li Jiaqi's mobile phone under Yi Zhen's bed, and Qiu Peijue slapped Yi Zhen on the spot.

Qiu Peijue told Yi Zhen a lot of reasons, such as being poor and ambitious, and stealing is the most disgusting thing in the world. She said a lot, but Yi Zhen didn't listen, and didn't want to defend herself.

Yi Zhen couldn't argue with everything, seeing Li Jiaqi's refraining from laughing, Chen Qingyuan's triumphant face, and Bai Bing's distrust, Yi Zhen suddenly felt ridiculous.

It was already very late when Xu Lao Liu came back. Hearing what Qiu Peijue said, he went back to the south room silently.

Yi Zhen sat on the small sofa, holding Lu Fei in his arms, and sat there in a daze, motionless, like a porcelain doll. The schoolbag was placed beside it, and it seemed that it had not been opened.

Xu Laoliu patted Yi Zhen's head: "Son, have you been wronged?"

Yi Zhen blinked her eyes, held back her tears, and turned to Xu Lao Liu, "Do you believe me?"

Xu Laoliu said, "Of course I believe it."

"Then why doesn't Aunt Qiu want to believe me?" Yi Zhen didn't understand.

"Sometimes, it's not that he doesn't understand the truth, but that he chooses not to believe it. When complex matters are presented, people will always choose the easiest way to solve them." Xu Lao Liu said slowly.

Yi Zhen tilted her head: "That's why I hoped that I would admit my mistake last time, and this time I chose to believe that I stole something. It's the same reason, isn't it?"

Xu Lao Liu nodded: "Zhen'er, you are a smart child, sometimes the truth is not important, the most important thing is to live a stable life."

Xu Laoliu rubbed Yi Zhen's soft hair with his rough fingertips: "Don't pay attention to this, Zhen'er, adversity is sometimes the best teacher, he will help you eliminate the bad guys, help you to keep the false from the true, and the last one left, It is the people who really care about you, you only care about the opinions of these people, and learn not to care about other people's thoughts."

Yi Zhen tilted her head, as if she understood something, then frowned and asked, "What is adversity?"

Xu Laoliu smiled wryly: "Our current life is adversity."
