old house bird thing

On the way to school every day, Xiangxiang would pass by a vegetable market, where he could buy a bowl of hot tofu nao or a bowl of wine rice balls as snacks.Life is very leisurely, but the law and order in this era is too chaotic, there are beggars and refugees fleeing the war everywhere, every time Xiangxiang takes out his wallet, he has to beware of a thief who suddenly picks up the bag.

Even though he was very careful, a thief succeeded that day. Xiangxiang chased the thief for two streets, but at an intersection, he accidentally knocked down a child.

The child with a gray face immediately hugged Xiangxiang's thigh and threw a splash.

"My foot! My foot! Broken, broken, must be broken!"

Xiangxiang's legs were pulled tightly, and he couldn't take a step. He could only helplessly watch the thief run farther and farther.

Xiangxiang sighed and said: "Little brother, let me go first, I can't move if you do this."

"I won't let you go. As soon as I let you go, you ran away. My leg was broken. Who should I go to?"

"It can't be so easy to break a leg, right? It's just knocked down."

The black-faced kid immediately yelled to the surroundings: "Come on! Come on! This person ran into someone and wanted to run away! Is there any reason? Come on, come on!"

As soon as his voice was like a loudspeaker, the Chinese people who love to watch the excitement immediately gathered together, surrounded Xiangxiang and began to make irresponsible remarks, but what they said was true.

"Isn't this A Yu who comes to eat my tofu nao every day? Your stuff must have been stolen." Uncle Tofu Nao said.

"This group of little bastards set up tricks at the intersection every day. One steals things, and the other pretends to be knocked down so as to hold people back. Don't panic, Ayu. I'll call the police detectives right away." Aunt Jiuniang Yuanzi said.

"Look at the little bastards and take them to the police station."

It was only then that Xiangxiang realized that he had run to the vegetable market that he frequented every day. The small vendors here had a good relationship with Xiangxiang, and they all surrounded him to help.

The black-faced kid saw that something was wrong, rolled on the ground, got up and ran.

"Where are you going, little pup?" Big Brother Pork grabbed the black-faced brat's clothes and pushed him to the ground.

"Get out! Let go of your grandfather!"

"Hey! You little bastard can still speak harshly, and I'll send you into the bureau later, I see if you're still stubborn."

Suddenly, the black-faced kid took out a glaring knife from his pocket, and stabbed at Brother Pork fiercely. Brother Pork was a burly man who usually slaughtered three to four hundred catties of pigs by himself. He dodged it, and slapped the kid across the face with his big slap. The black-faced kid was slapped with blood from his mouth and nose, and he lay flat on the ground, unable to move.

"Is the kid all right?" Brother Pork knelt down nervously: "I was taken aback when he took out the knife, and didn't pay attention to using too much force."

"Who told you to scare him and send him to the police? Can he not take out a knife if he is in a hurry?"

"I didn't want to be as knowledgeable as a child, I just wanted to scare him, who knew that I accidentally made too much effort..."

When everyone was discussing what to do with the child, a woman suddenly screamed. She squeezed into the crowd, hugged the unconscious child and shouted, "Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, what's wrong with you? Wake up."

Xiangxiang took a closer look, isn't this woman the one named Zhou Lanxin?Did you really recognize it just now? This girl is completely different after taking off her school uniform and leather shoes. She doesn't look so pure and cute in school. She is dressed in gray clothes that are greasy. And there is a poor gangster in her arms. I heard that her parents are both clerical workers. In this era, they can be considered as middle-income earners. However, the clothes she is wearing today really don’t look like they came from a rich family. .

"What did you do to my brother? Who beat him!" Zhou Lanxin's voice was harsh and mean, which was not the case when Xiangxiang met her at school.

"Your brother stole other people's money and was caught by us. We didn't do anything to him." Brother Pork said.

"You're talking nonsense! You say my brother stole the money, do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, you beat people indiscriminately, and you pay for medical expenses." Zhou Lanxin yelled.

Xiangxiang squatted down to take the child's pulse, opened his eyelids and lips and said, "It's all right, it's all right, it's not broken, the child just passed out, and anyone who brings a bowl of water will wake up as soon as he splashes it."

Only then did Zhou Lanxin notice Xiangxiang in the crowd, her face turned red all of a sudden, as if she was very embarrassed by her current appearance, she ignored her brother, left the boy and turned around and ran away.

Seeing that the girl who had run away was getting more and more black lines, Xiangxiang had no choice but to hug the black-faced kid and bring her home.

Mrs. Wang made a bowl of sugar water and poured it down for the little ghost, then wiped the blood off the little ghost's face with a towel.

The little ghost seemed to wake up, his lips moved, and his eyes opened a crack.

"Hey, what do you think?"

The kid started to vomit loudly, and said in a low voice, "Dizzy, er——, er—"

The sugar water that was poured down just now was mixed with yellow bile and spit out.

"Hey! Look at you little bastard who vomited all over the floor, how can I sweep it later?" Wang Pozi complained, "I said Brother Yu, where did you get such a dirty monkey? You are not afraid of getting it dirty." Our land."

"The brother of a classmate at school, his sister left her on the street, so I had no choice but to pick him up. When he gets better later, you can make him something to eat before letting him go." Xiangxiang said .

In the evening, when Xiangxiang went downstairs to eat, the boy was no longer there, and Xiangxiang didn't know whether the old lady Wang had told him to feed the boy.The braised pork head meat and fried yellow croaker that I ate at night, the country women have never seen good things, they think that fat meat and oil are good, and they are cooked for Xiangxiang every day. How long can a pig's head come out?

"I said, aunt, can't you change it? Why do you eat this every day?"

"Master, what delicacies do you want to eat? Pork head meat is in our house. It can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Your cousin and the others can't eat it."

"You just say that you don't know how to cook other dishes. I'll give you 15 yuan a month. This money is enough for every restaurant. If you don't know how to cook, you can buy it in the restaurant outside."

Mrs. Wang's face turned cold, and she forced a smile to agree.After a while, he said again: "Brother Yu, I have something to discuss with you. Look at your little cousin, can you bring him here too? I haven't seen my son for a long time. I miss him."

Xiangxiang thought, is this woman easy to bully because of my young age?It's really a good idea, come here to eat well and live well, not to mention being greedy for my meal money, and let me raise you two for nothing, I'm not your child's father.

Xiangxiang said: "It's not impossible, but I have to go back to my second aunt first, and if she says it's okay, it's fine."

Mrs. Wang said: "Second aunt is too busy, why bother her with such a trivial matter."

Xiangxiang also said seriously: "Is this a trivial matter? Let me tell you, if the second aunt's eyes touch me, then it is no trivial matter."

Seeing that the old woman's face was not good-looking, Xiangxiang said again: "I know you miss your son, and I'm not that unreasonable person. If that's the case, you can go back tomorrow. I will go back to the second aunt and ask her to come over with someone else." .”

"Don't, don't!" The woman hurriedly yelled twice: "My good nephew, don't say that, auntie is just joking, I'll go fry meatballs for you."

A few days later, Xiangxiang ran into Zhou Lanxin at the door of his house after returning home from school.This girl is still dressed like a female student, and she looks much more energetic than that day.

Xiang Xiang saw that her eyes were red, and she was sitting alone on the stone bench at the door, obviously she came to find him on purpose, and seemed to have cried, Xiang Xiang sighed and stood in front of her.

Zhou Lanxin asked, "Can I talk to you?"

Xiangxiang nodded.

Seeing that Xiangxiang had brought back a beautiful girl, Mrs. Wang smiled obscenely, welcomed the two into the room and said, "Sit down slowly, I'll make tea for you."

Seeing Zhou Lanxin sitting on the sofa with red and swollen eye circles, Xiang Xiang asked, "Did you cry just now?"

Zhou Lanxin said: "No, I'm fine, why should I cry."

Isn't it because your eye circles are so red on purpose for others to see?Ask why you don't answer?Xiangxiang sang in his heart, "Don't guess what the girl is thinking, you won't understand even after guessing." '

After sitting like this for a while, Zhou Lanxin finally spoke. She said mockingly: "I shouldn't be wearing this school uniform anymore. I'm not a student anymore, haha."

Xiangxiang was taken aback, and asked, "Aren't you going to school? What happened?"

Of course Zhou Lanxin couldn't say that her sister had severed all ties with her, and naturally she wouldn't send her to school anymore. She put on a miserable smile and said, "You really are the young master of a rich family, how can you know the bitterness of us poor people."

Xiangxiang asked: "Aren't your parents civil servants? Could it be that they can't support you?"

Zhou Lanxin's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she stood up abruptly. The expression on her face was that of a chaste and fierce woman, with a dignified and inviolable look: "Are you laughing at me? You saw it yesterday, yes, I lied, I lied at school, my family is not a middle-class family, they are all poor merchants, are you satisfied now?"

Xiangxiang just asked casually, originally thought that something happened to her family, and she was in desperate need of money to make her look downcast, but she didn't expect it to be the vanity of this woman.There are many poor families in the school, but as far as she wants to deceive people, the purpose of her doing so is unknown to others.It's just that a beautiful woman really has the privilege. She can go to other people's homes and yell at others. It is obvious that she made a mistake, but she seems to be hurt by others maliciously, making others feel guilty towards her.

Zhou Lanxin saw that Du Liangyu did not apologize and comfort her as she expected, but was still sitting on the sofa calmly. She became anxious, put away the angry expression on her face, and looked sadly at Xiangxiang, her voice trembling slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just sad. My heart is all on one person, but that person crushed my heart and threw it on the ground." Zhou Lanxin's face was as pale as snow, and her line was clear. Tears fell silently on his face.

"I'm leaving." Zhou Lanxin got up and ran outside.

But Xiangxiang stopped her unexpectedly: "Wait a minute."

Xiangxiang took out the dozen or so yuan he had with him: "Here are these, you... remember to go to school."
