Years Know Long Summer

The next day, Lin Zhixia went out to deliver milk as usual.

People who did not receive milk yesterday will make up a bottle today.Not only that, but there is also a small post-it note on the bottle.

"Dear Uncle/Auntie: I'm very sorry that I didn't deliver milk to you yesterday because the milk truck was kicked over by someone. I promise that this kind of work mistake will not happen again in the future. I wish you a good mood, Xiaolin."

Delicate and neat pen writing, elegant diction, with a fresh student spirit.

This little sticky note caused a big wave in Yong'an.

Among the residents of Yong'an, less than one-third of them have been in school for nine years, and more than [-]% of them earn a living in the city with a small skill.Those who have any ability have left, and those who stay are all hardened and rough by life.

Apologies are very rare in Wing On.

Residents have long been used to fighting to resolve disputes, competing for the little sesame benefits and living space.Whoever has thick skin is the winner.

Such an exquisite apology note is a rarity for the people of Yong'an who have seen it for ten years.

Even guessing to understand what was written on the note, the motherhood of the housewives in each family spontaneously emerged, and they developed a deep affection for this "Xiaolin" who wrote well.

"After all, he is a good student studying in No. [-] Middle School. How sensible and capable!"

"I heard that there is only one blind father in the family, so he came out to work during the holidays. I don't know which rotten boys have such bad hands and feet, bullying a child."

The housewives finished with emotion, turned their heads and scolded their children by their ears.

"Look at Xiaolin, he can read and work. How much virtue did his parents have accumulated to have such a good son! You know how to run around outside when you are on vacation, and don't do serious business. , the mud in Jinhegou is not as bad as yours..."

The news about the milk delivery boy Xiaolin being bullied and kicked over the milk cart spread throughout Yong'an north and south in just a day or two following the mouths of housewives.

Lin Zhixia rode a tricycle through the streets and alleys, sweating profusely from exhaustion, her little face was flushed, and she was so polite, who wouldn't feel distressed and like it after watching it?

Lin Zhixia quickly became a little celebrity in Yong'an.Although it indirectly provoked the jealousy of many children, it also won the love of the aunt group.

On the fourth day, Lin Zhixia saw that the time was right, dragged the big basket of broken baby bottles, and came to the door of Sheng's house clangingly.

The economic conditions of the Sheng family can easily beat the Lin family by half a block.

Sheng Lang's cuckold father, Sheng Guangquan, owns a small building by the river in the southern district and opened a small hotel.

A small four-story building with aluminum alloy window edges, blue glass windows, pink tile exterior walls, and a signboard with yellow characters on a red background hanging on the gate: Jufu Hotel.

Lin Zhixia was disgusted by Boss Sheng's artistic aesthetic for a long time.

There are really many hotels in this area of ​​the southern district.Just on the street where the Sheng family is located, you can count five or six small hotels in one breath.

As Sun Mingzhu said, even if red lanterns are not hung on the gate, it will always be decorated with red and purple, which is not serious no matter how you look at it.

Outside the southern area is the Fenghe Old Bridge, and on the other side is a large new city that is under construction.

Every day at dusk, off-duty workers walked across the old bridge in groups, poured into Yongan South District, and got into various small hotels.In the soft arms of a woman, their cheap bodies and tired souls can be temporarily relaxed.

It was early morning, the hotels on the whole street were closed, and there were only a few birds looking for food on the street.

Lin Zhixia took out the loudspeaker borrowed from the milk station, looked up at the blue window of Sheng's house, with a sinister smile on her fair and well-behaved face.

Sheng Lang's room was a stairwell not much bigger than a coffin.The summer is sweltering, and he thinks that the guests are annoying when they are doing business, so they usually sleep under a simple shed on the roof.

Early this morning, he was falling asleep with his belly spread out, when he was suddenly startled by a sharp siren.

Residents in the southern district are particularly sensitive to this siren-like sound, and anyone who walks to the bridge of Naihe can be pulled back by this sound.

At first Sheng Lang thought that someone had committed a crime, but then he heard his name.

"Sheng Lang, Sheng Lang, come out and lose money! Break the baby bottle, come out and lose money!"

Sheng Lang looked down, and saw a strange child shouting with a loudspeaker.

"Sheng Lang, if you break the baby bottle, don't try to renege on the debt, come out and lose money if you have the guts!"

Sheng Lang cursed, didn't even put on his slippers, ran downstairs thumping, raised his foot and kicked the child in the face.

Lin Zhixia had heard his footsteps a long time ago, so she took three steps back without haste.

Sheng Lang saw a shattered light in his eyes, and stopped abruptly.

Take a closer look.Good guy!A piece of broken glass was spread on the ground, and each piece shone sharply!

If Sheng Lang hadn't been quick to react, the soles of his feet would have been pierced into a blood sieve.

"Damn!" Sheng Lang scolded angrily, "You are looking for death!"

"I'm not looking for death." Lin Zhixia said calmly, "I just asked you for money. You smashed half of my carload of milk, including the bottle, a total of 400 yuan. I have an order from the milk station here."

Lin Zhixia shook the note in her hand.

Sheng Lang just wanted to go over and kick the child away, but the other party was standing in a piece of broken glass, and he had no shoes on.

He whirled in front of the shards of glass, blowing air from both nostrils, staring straight at Lin Zhixia with a pair of green eyes, as if he was a rabbit that was almost ready to bite.

Only then did Lin Zhixia take a good look at Sheng Lang.

Sheng Lang's unknown foreign father gave him a good look.

A 13-year-old boy, nearly a head taller than his peers, with a thick frame and extremely long hands and feet.Sheng Lang's skin is very fair, and his hair is black and thick. It is naturally curly, and the roots are messy due to lack of care. It droops in front of his forehead and half covers his eyes.

Those eyes were the most straightforward evidence of Sheng Lang's bloodline.

Under the light, it appears emerald-like green, extremely bright, and in the dark, it looks like a deep pool in a mountain stream, deep and bottomless.

Such eyes must have a good face to match.

Sheng Lang's face was impeccably handsome.

Three-dimensional facial features, carefully considered proportions, under the high bridge of the nose, a pair of sharp lips.

13 years old is the most beautiful age for boys.The thick hair and hard edges and corners have not yet developed, and the whole face is bright and strong, which can almost be described by the word "昳丽".

But Sheng Lang didn't have the slightest blush.He is rough, unruly, and primitive, and his fierce expression is full of beast-like hostility.

"Don't wander around." Lin Zhixia said, "One person does the other thing. Pay me the money, and this matter will be over."

"I'll pay your mother X." Sheng Lang scolded.

He developed relatively early and has already entered the period of voice change. When the voice is loud, there are some shrill and broken sounds, which sounds a bit funny.So Sheng Lang became more and more reticent, preferring to do everything, making himself appear to be very cold and stylish.

I was pissed off by this kid today, and I couldn't hold back the swearing for a moment, and my throat started to leak.

Once the air leaks, the power is discounted by half.Lin Zhixia burst out laughing.

His smile almost ignited Sheng Lang's arsenal.

He picked up a mop from the corner, swung it in a circle, and hit Lin Zhixia who was standing in the shards of glass.

Lin Zhixia was wearing sneakers, bouncing around in the shards of glass, dodging left and right, and turned on the horn again, and the previously recorded jingle resounded throughout the alley.

"Sheng Lang smashed the baby bottle, and he didn't lose money if he cheated. No matter whether he smashed it or buried it, Yong'an is a good boy."

The neighbors were all woken up and opened their windows to look around.The ladies who had only slept for a few hours leaned against the window and cursed.

"After a long time, it turned out that it was Alang who smashed the milk bottle!" The aunt in the opposite building yelled, "Alang, you are too shameless. Don't bully others who are younger than you, they will lose their money soon!"

Neighbors chimed in.

Sheng Lang was panting, his face was congested with blood, and the green light in his eyes was dancing like will-o'-the-wisps.

He swung the mop round vigorously, ready to throw it at Lin Zhixia.

As soon as Sheng Guangquan ran out of the house, he was slapped on the face by his cheap son with a mop, and he fell on his back.

There was a burst of laughter in the alley.

Sheng Guangquan got up angrily, kicked Sheng Lang away, took out a few tickets and threw them at Lin Zhixia.

"Go, take it and get out!"

Lin Zhixia only picked up four bills.

"Thank you, Uncle. But Sheng Lang only owes me 400 yuan, I can't ask for more. Goodbye, Uncle."

Lin Zhixia bowed politely, and drove away in the tricycle like the wind, leaving only glass shards all over the floor, which hurt the eyes of the Sheng family and his son.

"Go in!" Sheng Guangquan yelled at Sheng Lang.

Sheng Lang raised his head, cast a gloomy look at his adoptive father, dropped the mop and strode into the house.

Sheng Guangquan closed the door, then kicked Sheng Lang away.

Boom——Sheng Lang rolled into the chair stacked in the corner.

Sheng Guangquan acted like he was going crazy, he jumped up and punched and kicked the boy.

"Little bastard, wild dog! If you don't learn from the good ones, you will make trouble for me!"

Sheng Guangquan was not much taller than the 13-year-old Sheng Lang, with a bald head and a horizontal face, with layers of sallow fat shaking out.

"Losing my face, causing me to lose money! What a bastard born of a cousin..."

Sheng Lang neither resisted nor begged for mercy, he just stared with green eyes, like a stubborn and wild wolf cub.

Sheng Guangquan got even more angry when he saw it, picked up a broom from the corner, and slapped Sheng Lang head and face.

The broom stick hit Sheng Lang's calf hard.Sheng Lang couldn't help but let out a painful hum from his nose, curled up and hugged his legs.

"Stop beating, Lao Sheng." A woman with purple-red hair poked her head out from the second floor, revealing her white flesh, "Then that damn old woman will come to your door again and try her best."

Panting, Sheng Guangquan dropped the mop and kicked Sheng Lang again.

"roll!"

He thumped upstairs.

"Why do you make such a big fuss every time?" The woman whispered, "This son is still useful, it's not worthwhile to beat him away..."

"I can't run away." Sheng Guangquan snorted, "The little bastard is still waiting for me to pay for his old woman's medical expenses."

Sheng Lang sat in the mess, rubbed his swollen legs, and wiped away the blood that flowed to the corner of his eyes.

Snow-white face, red blood, green eyes, expressionless.

The boy got up and limped upstairs.

"You are so awesome! You are too courageous!"

Sun Mingzhu was trembling all over, dancing with her hands and feet, as if she was dancing a great god.

"You actually went to ask Sheng Lang for money by yourself? You actually got it! I heard that Sheng Lang was beaten so hard by his father that his head was broken. It's over, Sheng Lang will definitely take revenge He will definitely find a chance to beat you to death."

"Not for now." Lin Zhixia was doing the paper without raising his head, "During the last fight, he injured Brother Chai. Brother Chai and the others have been blocking him everywhere recently. He has no time to hide, no effort Leave me alone."

"You're pretty well informed."

Delivering milk requires walking around the streets, and Lin Zhixia doesn't know how many grandmas and grandmas she has to strike up and chat with every day.He also has a cute face that women like the most, and the information he has collected is very rich.

Lin Zhixia said: "When he is free, I will start school too."

"But he also wants to go to No. [-] Middle School. When he gets to school, he can still trouble you."

Lin Zhixia looked up at Sun Mingzhu, with a faint smile on her delicate face.

"Don't worry, no one can trouble me at school."
