Shengsheng

Xiao Liangsheng had conflicts with his classmates and had a fight in the class. When Jin Ping said this, Liang Sheng, who had just returned from another place, roughly understood it.

When he first heard it, he thought it was Xiao Liangsheng who was excluded at school because of his personality, but later on, he realized that it was his family who overreacted a little this time.

This sounds a bit unreasonable, after all, it is impossible for Xiao Liangsheng to treat others like this with his usual temper.

But I heard Jin Ping additionally mention something from the teacher in charge, saying that during this period of time, his grades have dropped sharply, and the two quizzes were not satisfactory. This time, he suddenly had such a conflict with his classmates, and he seemed to understand something. .

And the school's homeroom teacher may also take care of the impact, and really doesn't want to make a big fuss when the school starts.

So I was only responsible for helping to contact their respective parents, and I didn't insist on holding on to the two children at the moment, insisting on finding out the key to the conflict.

But what should be said is still said, but between the lines, I still hope that the parents can learn more about the situation, and don't continue to make more disturbances that affect the school and the class.

Right now, the two little guys who fought in public and were dragged away by their classmates heard that they are still obediently staying in school.

One yelled fiercely at the time, but it was strange later that he didn't ask his parents to come to the school to follow up after the incident.

The other pusher refused to explain because he was alive and well, so this embarrassing matter was put on hold for the time being.

But according to Jin Ping, the guy in his family didn't even eat much last night, so he turned around and hid back home to do his homework in a weird way. Until now, no one has figured out what happened to him.

"Is it because the new school is not used to it... the voice is not happy? Some children in the school are a bit naughty now, and they play around because of their height. I guess they have been wronged this time. I went to the back yesterday and asked him to come over. He didn't even open the door for me when I was eating..."

"Why won't he open the door for you?"

"I don't know either, but it sounds like I'm alone inside and I don't know what to do. There's the sound of ding ding dong dong and small hammers ringing. Later, I came out in the middle of the night to see that the lights in the house were still on. I don't know. What are you doing, you can't hold back your voice alone, right?"

"Huh? No, no, don't think too much about it. He's always like this. He likes to be alone. I'll pick him up after school later, and then come back and ask him."

It seemed that he could see the remorse and worry on Jin Ping's face. Liang Sheng was a little distracted because he was thinking about something just now, and he quickly explained this sentence. ,

"This kind of thing should be asked carefully. After all, the previous incident will always have some influence, and the voice has always been relatively introverted... But haven't you just returned from the long-distance bus from the provincial capital? Are you tired? I'll make you something tonight Is pig heart soup good? Have you seen the big boss in the province who always refuses to show us?"

Hearing her whispering in his ear, Liang Sheng remembered that there was actually such a thing before.

And recalling what you said on the phone as the small person in charge of the company named 'Xiaotian' before, he thought for a while and shook his hand before answering.

"I'm not tired, sister-in-law, I'm only in my 20s this year, but I haven't married a wife yet, so don't try to make me a body every day by stewing ginkgo pig heart every day, what a waste, right? This time it's the car factory The guest house I opened has a good environment, and I don’t need to pay for it.”

"..."

"As for the boss in the provincial capital, he still said he didn't have time this time, and the little secretary also said that we will talk about it next time when he is free. It is probably the same as we guessed. He really doesn't want to talk to us little people, but in the second half of the year The investment is definitely basically fine, so don't worry about it..."

Listening to his detailed explanation to herself, Jin Ping, who had secretly wondered why that strange boss always sent a secretary alone, but never showed up in person, nodded in understanding, and then opened her mouth helplessly. road,

"Well, that's right. Although they told us that they are small coastal food companies, they are much more powerful than small businesses like ours. It's hard to see such big bosses, so we don't have to. I am in a rush to get others to dislike me, so I can do my business well, but why do you buy things for us again? Clothes in this provincial capital are expensive, and you still choose branded goods to buy, children can’t wear them It’s so good and so expensive, you should save some money for Shengsheng to buy something to eat..."

"It's okay, it's his part, but Xiaoting and Xiaobao are just like her voice. This kind of sneakers and down jackets are not outdated, and children will like them. When you and Laoguan go home this New Year, you have to bring them with you." I bought some ginseng and medicinal materials to give away to some people back to the west of Guangdong, so I bought some ginseng and medicinal materials, which are not heavy at all in the bag. Don't worry about me. "

It was probably because Liang Sheng looked glib on the surface, but in fact he had a good and caring personality on the inside, which made him helpless.

Jin Ping, who chatted with him about what happened these days, looked at the big and small bags he brought back with emotion, and then she didn't just refuse.

And Liang Sheng comforted her with a playful smile as usual, turned around and sat down to eat a mouthful of plain water and rice. Then he saw that the time was almost up, and hurried to No. [-] Middle School to pick up the children from school.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the school gate of No. [-] Middle School, which just rang the bell, was still crowded with people as usual.

The canteen at the door sells four-wheel drive vehicles and pat cards, as well as various bagged salted duck explosive candy snacks. With the addition of many parents and children, it is naturally very lively.

Liang Sheng hadn't come for several days because he had something to do in the provincial capital, but according to his usual habit, he was actually used to waiting for Xiao Liangsheng to come over by himself at the previous intersection.

This is the younger one's own request, telling him not to block the tricycle on the zebra crossing at the school gate. Not only will he not obey the traffic rules, but he will be caught by the traffic police and fined.

At that time, Liang Sheng didn't care too much, he just thought that this silent but thoughtful kid was really worried for himself, so he agreed.

But it was the first time today that he was really standing at the gate of the school waiting for him to come out. Liang Sheng looked at it by himself, but realized why the kid never let him come here to wait for him before.

Because this group of children who had been in school for a day ran out one by one with their schoolbags on their backs. Most of them had classmates by their side. There were not so many of them, and most of them had a playmate with them. Get out of trouble.

And it's almost three or four weeks since the start of school. If it is true that the relationship is not very familiar, in fact, the class is almost close to each other.

But it was his turn from far away. Liang Sheng, who was deliberately hiding across the road, saw him walking out alone with his schoolbag on his back.

There is neither a joking friend nor a classmate who goes out of school together, as if he has been abandoned and rejected by the whole world, revealing an indescribable coldness and sadness.

Especially when he watched his classmates throwing themselves into the smiling arms of his family members by himself, it made Liang Sheng who was across the road directly confused what to say.

"Hey, isn't that Liang Sheng from your class? Why is he standing there by himself?"

"Shh, don't mess with him. He has a very bad temper. He didn't know what happened yesterday, so he pushed our classmate to the ground, and finally broke someone else's pencil case. Our teacher asked him to apologize to his classmates, but he refused to say a word. He didn’t say a word when the pencil case fell. It’s really rude. When I went to collect homework in the morning, I saw that he had a few fingers covered with it. The blood was wrapped in a cloth so that no one could see it, probably he ran off to do something strange again, and I don’t know what happened to him..."

"What about his parents? Did no one take him home?"

"Who knows, I've never seen anyone come to pick him up. I guess his parents don't like him either, so they don't want to pick him up haha..."

The two children who happened to pass by seemed to be talking about the fight in class yesterday. They didn't talk much, but they almost reflected what happened yesterday.

Liang Sheng, who was listening silently, looked at the boy opposite him who had grown taller during this period of time, and the youthful edges and corners on his face that had faded from the child's appearance did not say a word. It took a long time before he suddenly spoke to break the silence and said,

"Sound."

He raised his voice and shouted, but the kid on the other side of the road who was about to find the zebra crossing by himself was taken aback, and suddenly found him again.

And the two furry kids who were whispering beside him were also frightened, staring at Liang Sheng with wide eyes.

Seeing this strange grown-up who didn't know when he was standing there, he voluntarily raised his foot and crossed the road, and suddenly squatted down, and hugged Liang Sheng who was still there like a puppy. stand up.

"Have you been waiting for brother for a long time? Did the teacher finish class early today? Why did you come out so early? Are you hungry?"

"..."

"Next time after school, I'll tell my brother earlier. Even if I'm fighting with people outside, I'll come over right away. What do you want to eat tonight? Are you tired from studying today?"

This disgusting and sensual embrace in public, I have to say, really tested Xiao Liangsheng's shame level as a junior high school student this year.

So the child who was still in a negative mood at the moment also flushed instantly, and was hugged stiffly by his brother who didn't know when and hugged a puppy, and the roots of his ears were almost flushed up.

It's strange to say, although Liang Sheng's sudden hug was a bit exaggerated.

But it did dilute the loneliness, bewilderment and low self-esteem that he had been hiding in his heart since he started school, so that he subconsciously let Liang Sheng hold him by his ears and sensitively noticed the two dumbfounded people in the distance. The dialogue left by the lost classmates.

"So it's Liang Sheng's elder brother. He looks so tall and strong. Didn't you say that his family doesn't like him and they don't come to pick him up from school?"

"...how do I know, oh, don't say it, let's go quickly, if his brother rushes over to seek revenge on us later, we won't be able to run away, you didn't hear that he is outside Heaven and man are at war, hurry up, hurry up..."

After saying this, the two young classmates who were obviously terrified ran away despondently with their schoolbags on their backs.

Liang Sheng, who was so boring on purpose to scare other furry children just now, wanted to laugh when he saw this, and then lightly let his furry child squat down and lick the corners of his mouth at him.

The smile of the always glib young man has an inexplicable charm.

The flirtatiousness that he had deliberately pretended in the past has been diluted a lot, and he appears to be very reliable, gentle, and extraordinarily handsome.

But he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so Xiao Liangsheng could only lower his head and not speak, and his face seemed to pause for a moment, and then he subconsciously hid one of his really weird hands behind his head.

This move immediately made Liang Sheng want to know what was going on in his little head recently.

But thinking about some things related to children's self-esteem, it's best to go home and talk slowly, so the next big and small didn't stand still for too long, but went home from No. [-] Middle School together.

Speaking of which, the journey home is actually not that far away.

Exiting the three-way intersection in the south of the city, bypassing the section of the road in front of the Sixth Factory, the end is still the half-packed room where he and Xiao Liangsheng lived for nearly two months ago. Old rental house.

There are three or four pairs of his socks vaguely hanging on the simple clothesline made of wires at the doorway where various cardboard boxes are stacked randomly.

It was because he was lazy and threw it in the basin before going out, thinking that Jin Ping would help wash it when he came back.

After all, he is a single man with four limbs who does not work all the year round, does not like to do housework, and does not have a partner by his side. This kind of living habits is naturally more casual.

But looking at the scene now, it looks like someone sneaked into his house and washed his socks off secretly when he was not at home these two days.

Seeing this, Comrade Liang, a bastard standing at the door of his house, helped carry his schoolbag, and was a little puzzled for a while.

When he found that the kid next to him bowed his head and didn't speak or explain, he seemed to understand something.

After subconsciously tearing off the socks that were almost dry after a day in the sun, he took them home, and opened the door with the key in his pocket to enter his house.

But after he entered, he could see at a glance that everything from the thermos bottle to the table had been carefully tidied up by someone, as if the fallen leaves had been swept away by a strong wind.

It was as if someone was racking his brains to try to behave better in front of him, begging him for forgiveness silently, and fearing that he would not accept it, there was a sense of tension and guilt everywhere.

"..."

This scene fell into Liang Sheng's eyes, and for a moment he found it amusing and wanted to laugh.

For a moment, he didn't know how to praise the 'little snail' who was more virtuous and smarter than 'the snail girl' even though he was only twelve this year, and he really had a strong will to survive.

It's better to continue to reflect on the matter that he has indeed put a lot of pressure on him invisibly during the previous period.

"Do you want to eat small yellow croaker dumplings at night?"

In good conscience, being a brother is enough to do his job.

Not only can't beat or scold at ordinary times, but he also has to take care of the emotional problems of his own "little snail" every day regardless of winter and summer.

During this process, he put down his schoolbag and sat down in front of the simple low stool and small table. He and Liang Sheng had a total of two sentences, and most of them were the very daily conversations that the two of them would usually say.

Liang Sheng, who pretended he didn't know anything, didn't take the initiative to bring up the incident that happened in school yesterday, and Xiao Liangsheng, who was obviously worried, didn't take the initiative to surrender to him about this incident.

Waiting for the two of them to casually eat two mouthfuls of hot dumplings in this unclear atmosphere.

Quite suddenly, Liang Sheng, who hadn't said anything in front of him, noticed the pile of old draft paper that was already densely packed with handwriting and piled up high under the small bed behind him.

These discarded draft papers were all Olympiad questions and physics questions that Xiao Liangsheng did at home during the No. [-] middle school exam. They were covered with various formulas and equations, which used to be something children had to do every day when they got up.

It can be seen that he has really put a lot of thought into it, and is obviously immersed in his studies, so he can study the complicated and difficult laws and theorems of mathematics and physics so thoroughly.

It was also because of this intention, which could no longer be explained by simple perseverance, that Liang Sheng couldn't hold back and started talking casually.

But it was this scary-sounding topic that made the already silent and terrifying trabeculae's spine visibly change.

"Shengsheng, I want to ask you something, do you think exams, reading and going to school are things that bring you a burden?"

This straight-to-the-point question made the child who had been hiding a little from the beginning seem a little nervous emotionally.

Seeing this, Liang Sheng knew that he couldn't continue to provoke him anymore, so he could only recall in his mind the contents of the books he had returned to the teacher many years ago, and put himself in the shoes of the child who hadn't grown up at all. .

The direction of his thinking is actually very simple, but he hopes that he can really talk to Liang Sheng even if he has some truth, so after thinking for a while, he still asked,

"Do you really like reading? Do you like school? Or to put it another way, let's think about it seriously. Are you studying for others or for yourself?"

"..."

"If you say you don't like it today, want to do something else, or go to another school, or simply say you don't want to study, I don't think so. Really, my pursuit is actually very small. In my eyes, having enough food and clothing is a very happy thing, so since the two of us depended on each other for life, I hope you can be safe, healthy, and keep doing things you really like. Reading is never the only thing for one person way out."

"..."

Saying this, Liang Sheng, who unconsciously glanced at the silent child in front of him, seemed to be lost in some memories.

Dumplings and small wooden tables are placed in the container house. It feels a bit crowded in the container house. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. There are schoolbags and small slippers at the door, but everything in front of you is very simple but very warm.

So before, he didn't want to bring up those things in his previous life. Instead, he relaxed a little, and calmly put his eyes on Xiao Liangsheng, and smiled a little embarrassingly, saying,

"Brother may not have told you that I am not a great hero at all. I used to mess up badly. I was in a juvenile detention center and did a lot of shameful bad things. I was taught by others when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. Stealing things, using crowbars to steal other people’s bicycles, bicycles were still very valuable at that time, so I went to steal from others, luckily I stole one and repainted it, and selling it to the next family can make do with half a month.”

"..."

"It's unlucky to be caught by someone, and the next thing will be miserable. The most attractive people in the police station are thieves and perverts. Perverts steal people, and I steal things, so when I go in, I will be beaten and bleeding. , your nose is bleeding, and your life is worse than that of wild dogs, and when you are done, others will call you a bad embryo that you don’t want to learn well, do you think this is not as shameful as learning poorly?"

"..."

"The math questions and English questions you usually talk about, I have lived for more than 20 years and I don't know it at all. I really don't lie to you. I really can't understand a single word, but seeing you study so hard, I still don't understand I'm very happy, not because I expect you to be the first and second in the exam, I will have face, it's because I have always had a bad memory, many people who have treated me well, and I can forget people who have been worse, but you have to ask Brother Huo After so many years, what is the most impressive and unforgettable thing, I must tell you honestly."

"..."

"One year, it seemed to be summer, when my brother was eleven or twelve years old, he sneaked to someone's junior high school to wander around. At that time, the school windows were often closed. At that time, I only heard an old old teacher in class. The first class seems to be a physics class, convex lens and concave lens. It is said that our great Chinese ancestor Mozi discovered the principle of small hole imaging thousands of years ago. He used candles as light sources and drilled small holes on wooden boards. , I found that the light passed through the small hole to form an upside-down image on the wall. At that time, I suddenly had such a strange idea in my heart. Being able to sit in that classroom, read and go to school seems... really a very happy thing. thing."

These words were like a switch, causing the heart of Xiao Liangsheng, who had been shrouded in various unknown pressures since the beginning of the new semester, to suddenly thump.

There was a strange and unspeakable force in his empty mind.

Not only because of the vivid and picturesque words of the young man in front of him, but also because he seemed to recall the first time he was sitting in class, sucking nourishment like a newly sprouted grass, and getting those colorful words from the teacher. situation of knowledge.

*【"Those who go to my house to make up the exam before the festival, stand up for me!"】

[A fat, slack-skinned priest in a cassock and a heavy crucifix around his neck stares menacingly at the class. 】

【The priest's small eyes gleamed fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.The children looked at him in horror.You two sit down, the priest waved to the girl and said. 】

[They sit down hastily and breathe a sigh of relief.Father Vasily's small eyes were fixed on the four boys. 】

【"Come on, babies!"】

[Father Vasily stands up, pushes back his chair, and goes up to the four children who are huddled together. 】

【"You little rascals, who smokes?"】

[Where did this passage come from, Liang Sheng? 】

【Paul...Paul Korchagin..."How the Steel Was Tempered"...】

Those past memories that reminded him of the content in the textbook made Xiao Liangsheng's eyes a little red with his head buried.

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and did not cry weakly, but the tears still slid down his cheeks.

His young heart, not yet strong enough to be as resolute as an adult, couldn't describe his specific feelings.

But he knew that he should honestly tell his brother, his only relative in the world, how he felt and what he felt.

At least let him know how much he thinks, how much he wants to do well for the two of them, how much he likes going to school, likes school.

"...I can do it, I can really do it... you have to believe in me, I can do it, I can definitely do it..."

"I love going to school... I love... going to classes... I would love to stay in school..."

"Why... the same rice produces the same people, I... don't believe this sentence at all..."

"I won't do it because I can't do it well, I don't want that... I don't want that at all... I can... I can..."

……

"Please believe me, even if there is only one person in the world who believes in me, I will definitely be able to do it for you..."
