Shengsheng

"Vegetarian buns, stuffed with cabbage, stuffed with green vegetables, stuffed with pickled vegetables, [-] cents each, cheap and affordable——"

Pushing a plastic trolley and wearing a big white apron, a middle-aged woman with a round figure stood on the side of the road and hawked softly. From time to time, office workers on bicycles stopped to buy some breakfast. After a while, the woman sold most of the buns in the cage. .

"Sister-in-law Zhang, good morning, tell auntie early."

The elegant middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses walked past the breakfast stall with a child carrying a schoolbag, and when he saw this woman, he hurriedly said hello politely.

"Principal Zhang, Shengsheng, it's good morning, have you had breakfast?" After squinting through the early morning mist, the woman selling breakfast also smiled back after seeing the person coming.

"Well, I ate it. My wife made it early."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile when he heard the words, but the skinny child beside him kept his face stern and kept silent, even ignoring the woman's greetings, just staring at his toes without saying a word .

"Is Shengsheng not happy today?"

Seeing that the child didn't even bark, the fat sister-in-law's face turned pale, she took out a crushed stuffed stuffed bun from her cage, wrapped it in paper and handed it When I got to the child's hand, I pretended to be gentle and said,

"Does Shengsheng eat steamed stuffed buns? You have to eat more in order to grow taller..."

Before he finished speaking, the screaming child dodged away from her touch. The woman didn't hold it for a while, and the round bun rolled all the way to the ground, and the white bun was covered with black dirt. water.

"Here, Shengsheng, why are you so rude! Say sorry to Auntie!"

Embarrassed to death by the child's eccentric appearance, the gloomy man apologized to the woman, raised his hand and slapped the child on the back of the head.

But the child who was beaten so hard that he staggered forward and buried his head remained silent, just standing there with his schoolbag on his back, stubborn and pitiful.

"Principal Zhang, don't hit the child, just talk carefully..."

The fat woman was taken aback by this scene, but her tone unconsciously carried a hint of gloating.

"If you ask me, it's not easy for you and Teacher Liu. This child is disobedient and he really needs to be educated... But this is not your own child after all. Alas, it's better to be your own flesh and blood..."

Hearing this, he shook his head regretfully and sighed. The man who was called Principal Zhang changed his expression. After a while, he forced a smile at the fat woman, and then turned impatiently at the standing there. The child said loudly,

"Stand here for me today and think about what you did wrong! How could I educate you like this! Don't go to school today, just stand here for me! Stand by the wall! No Be sure to block others! I will come back from get off work at noon! Do you hear me!"

After finishing speaking, the man strode out of the alley angrily, regardless of the discussions among the early neighbors around him, but when he turned out of the alley, he almost accidentally stepped on a person who was sleeping at the alley. .

"Hey! Why is this man sleeping here?"

Pushing his glasses in astonishment, the man frowned and looked up and down. This man who was lying on his side at the entrance of the alley and couldn't see his face clearly, only covered his body with a piece of newspaper, and was covered in dirt all over, was holding his nose again. He opened his mouth in disgust,

"Where do unemployed people come from, just sleep here, and the surrounding neighborhood committees don't care?"

"Oh, he was there when I came to open the stall in the morning. I guess he was lying here because he was drunk last night and couldn't find a home. Principal Zhang, you should go to work quickly. I'm watching over here. ..."

The fat lady rang out in a lowered voice. When the man heard it, his expression of disapproval grew a bit more. He turned his head to look at the child who was standing motionless in front of the breakfast stall, and he sipped his lips in silence. Lip, then turned and walked away.

It was the earliest hour of the day at this time. The workers on the morning shift and the students who were catching the morning class were constantly passing by the alley. Every neighbor paused for a while at the child who was punished to stand with strange eyes, and then took The low voice of discussion slowly disappeared.

"Hey, why is the oil bottle picked up by the Zhang family standing here?"

A woman who went out to buy vegetables stopped in front of the breakfast stall, and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone to the silent child standing there,

"Shengsheng, why don't you go to school today?"

The child didn't speak, and stood there with his schoolbag on his back, looking like an empty shell whose soul had been taken out, and nothing outside could affect him.

"I was punished by Teacher Zhang for disobedience, so how can this kind of wild thing be raised well... I don't even think about what kind of good things his biological parents are..."

The female stall owner who stalled earlier looked at the child in front of her with some disdainful eyes, her voice was loud and harsh, and her harsh words were completely different from the gentle and easy-talking appearance when she faced Principal Zhang just now.

"Oh, yes, that's the reason, what kind of baby can be born with what kind of seed, what kind of good things can be raised from the sloppy thing..."

The woman with a sarcastic tone agreed, and immediately got a knowing look from the female stall owner. The two chatted and laughed like this, and then exchanged a few homely words. Crushing and killing it for a while, the spit star hadn't finished tearing it up, and there was no intention of avoiding the child who was standing beside them at this time.

"Snapped--"

A small water stain fell silently on the ground, and the tear-stained child heard the harsh words of the two women in his ears, and numbly stepped on the water stain formed on the ground with the soles of his shoes.

"Chen Huifang, that bitch, I hate it when I say it... That big piece of land in front of our house! It was snatched by this bitch in the end! No wonder his man is sentenced to death! This is retribution!"

"Well……"

Gritting his teeth, he let out weak and suppressed sobs. The child did not let anyone notice his abnormal state at the moment. He stared at the ground with his eyes wide open, and the palms hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.

"Peng—"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which interrupted the conversation between the two of them in an instant.

The woman and the female stall owner who were talking vigorously on the side of the road were taken aback. When they looked up carefully, they found that a dirty vegetarian stuffed bun had been thrown on the table earlier, and a basket of buns was dirty. The bun fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.

"Ah! This is the work of that killer! My bun!"

The chubby female stall owner's complexion suddenly darkened, and she hurried back to her stall, looking at the dirty buns all over the floor, her face twisted in distress.

"..."

The child standing on the side heard the movement and raised his head to look over subconsciously. Seeing the mean-spirited woman who always liked to ridicule her life experience jumping up and down, the child was still in a daze, and deliberately lowered her head. Yes, an unserious voice rang in his ears, and then the tears on his face were gently wiped clean.

"Hey, kid, why are you crying, your tears are so worthless?"
