God said I would meet you

After dinner, Zhang Xinli cleared the table and went to fetch water and wash the dishes as usual.

Lin Jinyu felt that there was nothing to do, so he put his hands in his pockets, rubbed against Zhang Xinli and kicked stones, and said a little out of words, "When will your parents come back?"

Zhang Xinli swiftly squeezed a few drops of dishwashing liquid into the water basin where the bowl was soaking, and said, "I don't know. It depends on the situation. It may be three or four days or seven or eight days."

"Ah?" Lin Jinyu looked as if he had eaten a fly: "It's been so long, what will we do these few days? Just me and you? What to eat and drink..."

Amidst the crisp sound of porcelain bowls colliding, Zhang Xinli let out a breath, turned half his body to look at him with his hands full of foam, and said, "Otherwise, who do you think created what you ate and drank this week? Did you come down?"

"..."

Lin Jinyu really never paid attention to who cooked every meal. He thought Zhang Xinli only occasionally beat him up... This was too contrary to his common sense. He had never been interested in the kitchen, and his parents were afraid of it when he was at home He will not start a fire with the stove, afraid that he will forget to turn on the electricity and damage the rice cooker, afraid that he will be scalded by oil splashes... In short, he is afraid that this or that will hardly force him into the kitchen.

But here, children in their early ten years old have already started to enter the kitchen to help the family chop and cook, stepping on the bench, holding a rough spatula with both thin arms and cooking on the stove.Everyone around his age is already a veteran in the kitchen, and they can cook a table of decent meals with soup and vegetables on their own.

"You can go and play by yourself when you're free." Zhang Xinli was busy emptying the bowls, and began to chase people away: "Don't stay here and cause trouble."

Oh, you think I'm in the way, don't you?Lin Jinyu felt that she was boring herself, and she was a little overwhelmed after eating too much, so she turned around silently and went out for a walk.

He hasn't been crazy about going out in the past few days... Except that Zhang's father asked Zhang Xinli to take him out to play on the first day, no one told him that he would show him the way and familiarize him Things like the environment...Even the day Dad Zhang casually mentioned it, Zhang Xinli didn't express any intention of practicing it.

Therefore, Lin Jinyu didn't know the way very well, and she didn't dare to go too far. She just swayed and walked straight along the dirt road extending in all directions, thinking that when she came back later, she didn't need to use her brain and just followed the road.

In summer, the sun sets late, and the sun has just set to the west at this moment, but the sky is still bright.From time to time, people who have been busy for a day are carrying or carrying things, talking and laughing, and walking to their respective comfort zones.

When they met Lin Jinyu head-on, they raised their eyelids and smiled at him, and Lin Jinyu reservedly nodded to these strange neighbors as a greeting.

From the small earthen house on the side of the road, one or two shrill or rough dog barks could be heard from time to time, as well as the hoarse voices of women calling the whole family to eat.

Everyone was in groups, and he was alone.

With her back facing the golden-red sunset, Lin Jinyu kicked the stones on the side of the road, walking to digest food.

His pale gray shadow was drawn into a slanted shadow, and he stepped on his own shadow and swayed forward.

How boring, his father gave someone a sum of money and parachuted him to this place thousands of miles away from home where no one knew... Dad probably sent him here because he wanted him to study hard, but he still Nothing to do.

Not only was there no one to take him to study hard, there were also no friends who would go out with him from time to time when he was at home.

Probably adolescence itself is a period of sentimentality. Those inexplicable emotions are like a big hand, which suddenly catches up and clamps him, and he suddenly feels lonely and sad.

Maybe it will be good to endure for more than 30 days and more than a month, and he will be able to leave here after the summer vacation is over.Although the small room that belonged to him in Shanghai was also deserted and quiet, it was cool and comfortable... and he played various games casually.

Where there are games, there is heaven.

He sniffed, and was about to turn around and walk back along the original road, when he suddenly saw several children squatting together in a circle on the edge of an inconspicuous masonry wall at the corner, and he didn't know what they were doing mysteriously.

Several of them were familiar faces, probably kids who had skateboarded with him, and they were the ones who came frequently, so he had an impression of them.

Lin Jinyu's curiosity was aroused as a young man. He was an acquaintance anyway, so it was not too embarrassing to get close to him. Thinking of this, he changed his direction and walked towards the pile of bricks and stones.

The group of people squatted on the ground and gathered together with their heads down. No one noticed Lin Jinyu who was approaching.

Lin Jinyu tentatively called a few names he remembered, and everyone was startled, turning their heads to stare at him.

Grayish-white smoke curled up from between their lips and from the inferior cigarettes held between their fingertips, blurring their young and immature faces.

"Brother Jinyu?" One of the children he called asked, puffing out a puff of white smoke full of nicotine.

If Lin Jinyu remembers correctly, he should be 12 years old... at most no more than 14 years old.

"you……"

He was about to say something, but another hoarse and vulgar voice interrupted him at a decibel several times higher than his: "Who are you, mother? Are you going to scare me to death?"

That rude, inferior and arrogant tone made people feel extremely uncomfortable in a very short time.

Lin Jinyu looked over very unhappy, only to see a person wearing big underpants, stepping on a pair of slippers and half squatting on the ground, puffing.He has an arrogant look, bronze-colored skin and strong, stubby scar on the left brow bone.

It turned out to be an old enemy.

Lin Jinyu vaguely remembered that this person was called Gao Hewu, the perpetrator of bullying in the campus... the village, La Long had a brother who was better than none.

The group of children who smoked with him all looked forward to him, and immediately laughed, giggling, smoking cigarettes, and "grassing" each other in a pattern.

Only those kids who had skateboarded with Lin Jinyu turned around and said to Gao Wu, "Brother Wu, this is Brother Jinyu who taught us how to skateboard."

With the cigarette between Gao Wu's fingertips, he raised his mouth and took a long puff, two thick and long columns of smoke came out from his nostrils: "Jinyu... Lin Jinyu?" He seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly put away the Hanging around in a swaying posture, he raised his eyelids and looked up and down at Lin Jinyu from about ten meters away.

"Oh..." He stared at Lin Jinyu, his dormant memory seemed to have finally awakened, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your mother is that Zhang Xinli's younger brother."

What is it all about?

Lin Jinyu secretly scolded that the enemy's road is narrow.After learning about Gao Wu and his family’s big mess, his perception of this person became very complicated. He hated it, but it wasn’t all hated, and he definitely didn’t like it. Maybe there was a little bit of hated mixed in. Compassion and understanding...a little bit.

He didn't come out for a fight. Both sides calmed down and sat down to have a long talk. Peaceful dialogue might help resolve this guy's bullying of Lalong without bloodshed.

So Lin Jinyu suppressed her unhappiness, and said as politely as possible: "Your name is Gao Wu, right? Please don't start talking about her mother and mother. If you can make a sound, talk well. I'm not interested in confronting you."

Gao Wu pinched his cigarette, and said, "What's wrong with me calling? You're pretending to be your mother, won't you hide behind your brother Zhang Xinli's ass and drink milk?"

Fucking your mother is simply shameless.Lin Jinyu clenched his fists: "I advise you not to spray dung all over your mouth." He paused, and then said, "Also, Zhang Xinli is not my brother, and I have nothing to do with him."

"Oh?" Gao Wu seemed to be a little interested at this moment. He stood up, and the children automatically leaned to the left and right to make way for him.

Gao Wu, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked up to Lin Jinyu through the gap, slanted his eyes down and looked at him, and said, "Who is your grandma, he has nothing to do with you, and you have nothing to do with me. For nonsense, I can beat you until Mother Guier doesn't even recognize you."

"Afraid of being beaten, you're not too scared to deny brother, are you? You're not his younger brother. Could it be that you're still his concubine?" He turned his head and said to the group of younger brothers, "Is that so?" After speaking, he burst out laughing.

A group of children beside the brick wall suddenly burst into laughter, and some of them shouted quietly: "Brother Wu..."

Lin Jinyu said coldly amidst the roar of laughter: "You look like a mentally retarded person when you laugh, I don't know what childish festivities you have with Zhang Xinli, but as I said, I have nothing to do with him ...If you hadn't bullied Lalong last time, the devil would have cared about your shitty onion."

Gao Wu suddenly stopped laughing: "I bullied him?" He stepped forward a few steps, and looked at Lin Jinyu face to face, his eyes were gloomy and fierce: "Listen to me, I didn't bully him, it was his fucking mother who bullied him. my mother."

From the first time Lin Jinyu saw him to the present, there were not a few clean words in his mouth. Lin Jinyu's ears were almost worn out: "There is no way, I understand you...but this is you The grievances between your father and your mother, there are grievances and debts, you should vent your anger on your father, if you have the ability, you can beat your father, what is it to bully a child? You are still playing Is Jiajia's age?"
