sequel

As soon as Zhuang Yufan entered, he saw Wang Jingchen standing in the living room.

It was five o'clock in the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun came in through a floor-to-ceiling window, dragging a dull light on the floor heavily.Wang Jingchen stood with his back to him, as if he knew someone had come in, he moved his head slightly, followed by his shoulders slightly imperceptibly, and quickly returned to the original position cautiously.

This is Wang Jingchen, who exists like a background board in his house, does not speak unless necessary, does not appear in front of others, and plays the role of "air" with all his heart.But Zhuang Yufan is different from his cheap mother who only knows how to eat, drink, play, show off, and play mahjong. He knows that Wang Jingchen looks like he is relying on others, but he has a look of pride.

The boy's height of nearly 1.8 meters supports the dark blue school uniform. His skeleton has grown, and his back is still thin.

Zhuang Yufan changed his shoes and came in, without saying hello to him, his eyes were cold, he looked at him calmly, and walked to his room.

After all, this situation can be seen several times a month.

"This situation" refers to Wang Jingchen being punished by Zhuang Yufan's mother.The reasons for being punished are varied, but in the final analysis, his mother doesn't like Wang Jingchen, and if there are more people in the family, more chopsticks means more expenses and less entertainment.Even if their family is considered to be well-off early, for his mother, whose eyes are smaller than a pinhole, life is a day when money is floating around.

Oh, I can't hear it yet.

What's going on today?

The bitter cold wind blew in, and Zhuang Yufan, who had taken off his scarf, shivered from the cold.After he walked to his room, he heard the voice of his mother Lin Fen: "You can forget to buy this, huh? I told you in the morning that you need to use it at night, but you forgot all about it! I see you It’s better to stop studying and go to work as soon as possible! Do you know about wasting money and time? Do you think who pays for your tuition and living expenses? What do you do with what your parents left behind? Tsk, I’m so pissed off! , I will get angry when I see you!"

Lin Fen's voice pierced into Zhuang Yufan's ears like a cold venomous snake. He heard his mother's swearing, and quickly walked back to close the bedroom door.

Before the door closed, he saw Wang Jingchen through the gap, and accidentally looked at each other. There was a cold expression on the man's face, and the three big characters "Look at a fart" were written on his handsome features.

"Damn!" Zhuang Yufan scolded in his heart, "You deserve it!"

The door closed silently, only bringing a gust of cold air into the cuffs of his school uniform.Zhuang Yufan was frozen, and went back to the desk to start over again.

Outside the door, Lin Fen yelled, "Fanfan is back? Why is the door closed?"

Zhuang Yufan ignored her, took out the Mp3 from his schoolbag, and stuffed the earphones into his ears, leaving only JJ Lin's music.

Oh, this year is 2000, the reform and opening up has achieved initial results in their city, and the economy of small counties and towns is thriving.The craze for going abroad has lasted for several years, and Zhuang Yufan's father, Zhuang Caiguo, was the first batch of them to go out to work in their town.

The MP3 was also sent back by Zhuang Caiguo, including sneakers and schoolbag.

Zhuang Caiguo is a simple and honest person, love has always been rain and dew, no matter what he sends, he will also send a copy to Wang Jingchen.But I don't know if Zhuang Yufan is sensitive, he has never seen that boy Wang Jingchen use a gift from his father, he seems to be disgusted.

"Zhuang Caiguo puts his hot face on his cold ass."

But his indifference is just a short and weak flame, which will disappear automatically at the slightest sign of trouble.

Because he couldn't really hate Wang Jingchen.

In retrospect, the two have known each other since they were four years old.However, Zhuang Yufan's aunt Zhuang Manxue told him little by little about the two of them.

Back then, when Zhuang Yufan was just born, it was the summer of 1988, the Zhuang family was just like everyone else, poor and featureless, and the only bright home appliance was probably a light bulb of more than ten watts - if the light bulb was counted.According to Zhuang Manxue, at that time, only the head of the village had a TV, black and white, more than ten inches long, and to adjust the channel, you had to hold a flat switch and turn it with your hands.The two antennas on the shell have to be handled carefully, always worrying that they will "snap" and separate the corpses once the force is too high.

Zhuang Yufan naturally didn't have this piece of black and white memory, Zhuang Manxue continued: "Then you always remember Jing Chen, right? You even got into fights because of grabbing the show!"

Having said that, Zhuang Yufan has an impression, no wonder I can't like him, it turns out that this kid has bullied me since I was a child!Jing Zhuang Manxue reminded that everything is like pulling out a carrot and bringing out the mud, and clues are emerging one after another.

At that time, he still lived at Zhuang Manxue's house, which was in the countryside.His aunt raised him for six years.

When he was just born, he was uglier than a depilatory monkey, a wrinkled mass, like a stinky walnut that had been through vicissitudes, and the skin peeled off layer by layer.This weird and frightening phenomenon really frightened Lin Fen and Zhuang Caiguo.Lin Fen thought that the child might not be able to support him, and Zhuang Caiguo was afraid that no one could be found to solve this problem.Both of them are worried, and they seem to be worried about the same, but the nature is somewhat different after all.

The family didn't have much money, so the best nutrients Lin Fen ate during pregnancy were eggs and pork liver.At that time, being poor seemed to be the norm, everyone was poor, sad life and sad mood go hand in hand with the spirit and body, if you worry about money, there is no way out for anyone's worries.When Zhuang Caiguo went out to find a way out, Lin Fen gritted his teeth, wiped away a few tears and held back the tears welling up in his eyes.She heard that one cannot shed tears during the confinement period, otherwise her eyes would be covered in mist from time to time when looking at things.She secretly carried Zhuang Yufan to a stone bridge pier in the town that was rarely visited by people.

In the end it was the flesh and blood that fell from her body, she must not be willing to part with it.It's just that the family is too poor, seeing that this strange disease can't be cured, and I am still young, and I can have children later.

She was still in confinement, her head and face were tightly wrapped, only her eyes were exposed, and Zhuang Manxue bumped into her on the way back.

Holding a basket of eggs in her hand, Zhuang Manxue was very surprised to see Lin Fen: "Lin Fen, what are you doing? No, you are still in confinement!"

Lin Fen put away her scarf and looked around guiltily. Her son was 200 meters away, and she seemed to hear the complaint of unwillingness and struggle.

Lin Fen raised his head and took a deep breath before saying, "It's okay. Where are you going?"

"Go to your house to see your son! Let's go, I haven't hugged that kid yet, take me there quickly." Zhuang Manxue walked forward excitedly, taking big steps, with the egg in her hand is standing still.

Lin Fenchu ​​stayed put.She looked at Zhuang Manxue's heroic and cautious uncoordinated posture, and suddenly understood her mood: Zhuang Manxue gave birth to two girls, before the "patriarchy" was pried out from the deep-rooted feudal thinking. It is conceivable that Zhuang Manxue is not welcomed in her husband's house.Zhuang Manxue really loved this newborn nephew.

Even though her heart was stabbed severely, and her chest bumped in pain, Lin Fen still suppressed the grief, and she followed Zhuang Manxue with a blank face and sorrow, as if she was lost.

What happened later, Zhuang Manxue only told Zhuang Yufan: "Your parents happened to be going abroad to work at that time, so they asked me to take care of you! It's not the rumors outside!"

But Zhuang Yufan might not believe it all.There is a saying that it is not without reason, he still has some intuition and judgment of his own.

Zhuang Manxue is a real farmer, with a burly figure and a loud voice.If you smile, the fine lines on the rough face will appear vivid, they float into an emotion called "love" and appear on the face, leaving a gentle and strong image like a hill in the heart of the young Zhuang Yufan.This is a great woman who suffers and is polite to life. When Zhuang Yufan entered junior high school, she used this sentence to describe Zhuang Manxue's character.

He called his aunt, a relative who was closer than his parents.

The first time I saw Wang Jingchen was on the day when he was four years old during the Spring Festival. Children in the village were playing with a kind of throwing cannon. The round white package was about the size of a child's thumb. When he fell to the ground, the "pop" sound could scare people. Jump a few steps away.How about calling it a throwing cannon?
