You who walk against the light

The car drove straight towards Wangfujing Street, the street lights came on one after another, and the road was full of traffic.While waiting for the traffic light, Zhong Ziming put down the car window, and the chill of early spring gradually hit.

There are tall buildings in front of you, huge billboards are exquisite and eye-catching, and the camphor trees on both sides of the road are already covered with LED flashing lights, like fire trees and silver flowers, and the neon lights are dark or light, surrounded by the excitement of the city.

Zhong Ziming thought of an evening more than ten years ago.His mother Amei brought him to Beijing, and the two of them asked for directions at the subway entrance with strong accents.

More than an hour later, a black car appeared at the entrance of the subway. A woman with a delicate face came down, glanced at Amei, asked the driver to put the luggage of the two of them in the trunk, and gently opened the door: "Go car."

Only then did Zhong Ziming realize that he and his mother were sitting in the wrong direction, so his aunt had to bring the driver to pick them up in person.

Ah Mei was obviously a little helpless, talking about things in her hometown along the way, nothing more than the poor efficiency of the factory and the gossip of neighbors.

15-year-old Zhong Ziming listened, his head lowered lower and lower.

He has been in poor health since he was a child, panting after taking two steps, and his face is pale. The doctor said that he has a congenital heart disease, and it is a miracle that he can live to such an age.Although Amei is a rough person, she has nothing to say to the child, and she will treat the child's illness even if she sells everything.Zhong Ziming knew that his aunt Chen Li had been helping them all these years.

But he didn't want to come to Beijing. Although he was in poor health, he worked hard since he was a child, and his grades were very good.It is not difficult to go to middle school and high school from their small place and successfully enter a good university.Amei disagreed, and Zhong Ziming argued with his mother at that time: "I just won't go! Shame on me!"

Amei has always loved her son very much, and Ziming is so obedient and sensible, she doesn't need to say much about many things, the child understands, and his thoughts are so transparent that it makes people feel distressed.

But at this moment, after hearing Ziming's words, Amei slapped him hard: "Aren't you going? What can you do if you stay in this poor place!? Are you trying to piss me off!"

A red mark appeared on Zhong Ziming's left face immediately, but he didn't have a single tear. At the age of 15, his self-esteem was strong, and that weak self-esteem was more important than his life.

He looked at his mother coldly, with that posture, he almost wanted to resist.

Amei was so angry that he cried, "My God, this is a crime." She beat her heart, fell to the ground, her hair was disheveled, and tears fell one by one.

Zhong Ziming got scared and tried to pull his mother up, "Mom!"

Amei shook off his hand: "Don't call me! I don't have such a disobedient son like you!"

These words went straight to Zhong Ziming's heart, his eyes blushed quietly, "Mom, I really don't want to go..."

Amei couldn't help raising her voice: "Is it so easy for me to raise you? What if you get sick again in the future and die? Go to Beijing, there are the best experts! There are the best teachers! Stay here What's the use of a broken place?" She fixed her eyes on her son, her wrists were trembling, as if she was talking to herself: "How can such a good child stay here?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pulled her son into her arms, with tears streaming down her cheeks and pleading in her voice, "Ziming, mother, please, go to Beijing, okay? Don't be afraid, I will support you if you suffer any grievances! Whoever Bullying my son, I, I..." She began to be out of breath, "I fight them desperately! One by one, they don't care about anything for their own benefit!"

Ziming wept silently, bit his lower lip tightly and remained silent, although he didn't know who his mother was scolding.

Amei wiped her son's tears indiscriminately. Seeing his appearance, he should have agreed, and was immediately overjoyed, "I have already given it to you..." She swallowed hard, "Call your aunt , let’s pack our things this afternoon!”

Ziming asked with red eyes, "What about the school?"

"Hey, silly son! After going to Beijing, what do you still think about doing here?" Amei scratched the tip of his nose, she patted his shoulder, and said calmly, "Zi Ming, listen to me, you will be Those who want to do great things, you are not a wild phoenix in the mountains, you are—" Her eyes were shining with crystal and pious eyes, "You want to show your ambitions and be the eagle in the sky!"

"I'm not

! "Zi Ming cried and said, feeling that his mother was whimsical.

Ah Mui looked determined, "Although I haven't read much, I'm not blind, just watch it, ten years, ten years later, you will thank me again!" After she finished speaking, she patted her son's back, with quick hands and feet Started to pack things.

That's it, the mother and son came to Beijing in a daze.Before leaving, Ziming heard from his mother that his aunt had a son named Zhong Can, who was the same age as him, and her stepson was older, named Zhong Kaifan.

Ziming was still surnamed Zhou at that time, but Amei resolutely changed his surname, saying cursingly: "What kind of dog man, I deserve my son's surname."

"Then I will follow your surname!"

Amella's face was long, and her tone was extremely firm: "No! If your surname is Zhong, it must be Zhong!"

She meditated in her heart: Only in this way can the name be justified, so as not to be squeezed out in the future.

Do anything, or do not do it, or do it to the extreme, why bother to be coy, Amei has already thought it out very clearly.

After coming to Beijing, Ah Mui understood how correct her choice was.In addition to completing school assignments, children in Beijing also participate in musical instrument classes, various summer camp activities, and competitions. Children from better-off families have skills such as calligraphy, speech, and chess. All-round competition is required.

It is not enough to just know how to study, and Ziming was delayed in vain.

Looking back now, Zhong Ziming realized his mother's hard work and conscience.If he hadn't transferred to Beijing, no matter how good he was, it would be difficult for him to be admitted to Renmin University of China and major in finance, and it would be impossible for him to enter a leading company like Huiding as soon as he graduated.What's more, he needs expensive drugs to maintain his normal health, which is not something they can do in a small place.

Even if he is very talented, his personal strength is still so small compared to the changes of the times. He needs to stand on the shoulders of giants.

However, the life experience of moving the family to Beijing and even needing to live under the fence and changing the surname is as painful as pulling out the sharpest scales on the back, which is unforgettable enough.

Zhong Ziming was ready to be squeezed out. Unexpectedly, when he came to Zhong's house, he found that his aunt's son Zhong Can was very gentle and kind. Zhong Can always gave him a share of everything the two of them had.

Knowing that he has a bad heart, I seldom ask him to play together. If he wants to practice alone, Zhong Can will accompany him.

Zhong Kaifan was two years older than them, he talked less, and his personality was relatively cold. He didn't say he excluded the extra relatives in the family, but he didn't take them very seriously.Kaifan also had a lukewarm attitude towards his parents. After a long time, Zhong Ziming got used to his poker face.

But when Kai Fan and Zhong Can are together, it’s not like that at all, they will laugh from the bottom of their hearts, they will nestle on the sofa and play games, complain about trash teammates, and play basketball together.If Zhong Kaifan is in a hurry, such as tearing apart a love letter written by a girl, he will not turn a cold face at Zhong Can, and it is amazing to press Zhong Can on the sofa to scratch it.

Zhong Can is tactful and never willing to take a disadvantage. As long as he is not too aggressive, Kai Fan usually lets him go.

He really envied Zhong Can.

With such a good family background, excellent grades, fair appearance, and a brother who loves him so much, he has a kind and kind personality, and he has no airs on him.

When Zi Ming couldn't sleep at night, he thought to himself: How can there be such a person as Zhong Can in this world, which makes people reluctant to be jealous.
