one punch

After Ye Xi graduated from junior high school, his family bought him a 3000 yuan desktop assembled computer. Dou Tianxiao added Jiang Ran's QQ, poking the keyboard with his yang finger.

Later, my uncle turned on another camera, and at night, he would sit in front of his brother's computer and video chat with Jiang Ran to do homework, and before going to bed, he would stop by Jiang Ran's QQ farm to steal some food or something.

Time flies like a flash, and the day when the results came out coincided with Jiang Ran and Ye Xi's vacation, a group of people sat around the noodle shop and prepared to call to check the results.

Dou Tianxiao's heart was beating so hard that he still didn't have the courage to dial, so he handed over the phone and the admission ticket number to Jiang Ran.

"Did you lose your mind after the exam?" Jiang Ran squinted at him.

"I only know that I made a big mistake in math, and I didn't dare to check the answer with others afterwards." Dou Tianxiao's upper body was lying on the table, and his palms were sweating from nervousness.

Uncle rubbed his hands and kept urging: "Quickly draw the lottery!"

My aunt put her palms together in front of her chest, closed her eyes and prayed, saying "Amitabha" and "God bless" for a while.

"Auntie, theoretically speaking, this score has already come out, no matter how much you pray, the score will not change." Jiang Ran said.

A word to awaken the dreamer, the aunt was stunned, nodded and said: "That's right."

Surrounded by a group of people, Jiang Ran also became nervous for no reason. After dialing the phone, he entered the corresponding examination admission ticket number according to the voice broadcast.

Dou Tianxiao felt as if his heart was strangled by something, and it tightened up and down.He stared straight at Jiang Ran's eyebrows, trying to find his ideal answer from the subtle changes in his expression.

As soon as Jiang Ran hung up the phone, everyone flocked to him, as if they were worshiping a god.

"How is it? How is it? How many points?"

Jiang Ran frowned, and Dou Tianxiao felt a chill down his spine, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his breathing was stagnant.

"Is it bad..." His heart was beating like a drum, and he spoke with difficulty, his fingernails turning white.

Grandpa touched his head first, "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam, just try your best, as long as you work hard, you can become famous in all walks of life."

Dou Tianxiao pursed his mouth, looking disappointed.

Jiang Ran suddenly snapped his fingers and smiled brightly, "612, No. [-] Middle School is stable!"

Everyone's eyes widened and heaved a sigh of relief.The uncle patted Dou Tianxiao on the back and kept praising her, while the aunt cheerfully chanted "Ancestor Bless My Ancestor Bless You".

Dou Tianxiao's muscles were still stiff, and he was stunned for a while to confirm again: "Really? You must have heard it right!" This was much higher than what he had expected.

Jiang Ran smiled and pushed the landline over, "You still don't believe my ears? Or you can check it yourself."

Dou Tianxiao looked at the deep dimple at the corner of Jiang Ran's mouth, and could clearly feel his heart, which was about to jump into his throat, fall back heavily, but the heartbeat did not slow down just now.

He slammed Jiang Ran's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Are you sure you won't lie to me!?"

"Hey, hey," Jiang Ran rolled his eyes when he shook him, "Check it yourself! Can I still have candy if I lie to you?"

Dou Tianxiao screamed "Ah", and then jumped up and down like a monkey. He was so excited that he gave the whole family a bear hug, and went back to the table to pinch Jiang Ran's face, "You are really me!" lucky star!"

In the end, he simply pulled him into his arms and thanked him incoherently: "Thank you so much for helping me so much! You are simply the reincarnation of Buddha!"

Fu Xing stared at the opposite wall and was stunned.

Dou Tianxiao's strength did not know when it became particularly strong. With such a hug, he could clearly feel the hot temperature of Dou Tianxiao's arm muscles and chest.

The short, fluffy hair around the pinna made him itchy.

Jiang Ran pretended to clear his throat, and said, "Then how are you going to repay me?"

Dou Tianxiao looked at him with burning eyes, and smiled with two small canine teeth, "What do you want in return?"

Unexpectedly, the other party was so easy to talk, Jiang Ran felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't find any decent request. He just wanted to say, "Let me think about it", but unexpectedly, someone spoke before him.

"Betroth our Douzi to you as a cow or a horse."

As soon as Ye Xi said this, my aunt raised her head and laughed, and everyone laughed as if they were joking, only the two parties looked at each other in silence for two seconds, and Dou Tianxiao's ears turned red quickly visible to the naked eye .

But Ye Xi is still chasing this question, "How is it, Jiang Ran, my younger brother is so strong and strong, he is like a little sun in winter, it is not a loss to warm your bed, how much electricity will be saved?" Woolen cloth."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, raised the disposable chopsticks on the table and threw them over, but there was no rebuttal after all.

Dou Tianxiao's face turned red into a bell pepper, and he chased Ye Xi all the way upstairs.

The No. 1936 Middle School of City B was founded in late [-]. It is located in the southwest of the entire city. Its architectural style is very unique. At first glance, it seems to have traveled to ancient times. It is solemn and grand, full of cultural atmosphere.

The City No. [-] Middle School where Jiang Ran is located is located in the southeast. It is said that the current principal Zheng of the No. [-] Middle School and the retired old principal of the No. [-] Middle School have a mentor-student relationship. Principal Zheng respects Master very much and wants to carry forward some cultural traditions. Therefore, the two schools The architectural style is quite similar.

If it weren't for a wide and straight two-way lane that divides the two schools into two, some people would believe that they are the same school.

On the first day of school, my grandfather personally sent Dou Tianxiao to the school. Looking at the ancient buildings that seemed to be frozen in time, he couldn't help sighing. The two of them seemed to be on a tour, visiting every corner of the school. over and over.

"Look at the words on the wall. No pains, no rewards." The old man pointed to the famous sayings hanging in the aisle and praised, and confessed: "People like this! Remember not to be lazy and greedy in your life. When you arrive at a new school, you still have to work hard, you know?"

"Know it."

After the grandpa and grandson vacated their beds, they went to a nearby restaurant and had a big meal together. Of course, it was a big meal for them.

It was nothing more than a plate of tomato scrambled eggs, a steak, and a bowl of tamales. Dou Tianxiao happily swept them all up, even the bottom of the tamales was eaten with rice.

Grandpa doesn't eat much, so seeing him eat happily is enough.

Dou Tianxiao burped while rubbing his belly, got up and wanted to pay the bill, but was preempted by his grandfather.

Before leaving, grandpa insisted on dragging Dou Tianxiao to a nearby fruit shop to buy some fruit.

The prices in the city discouraged Dou Tianxiao, but Grandpa seemed to be unable to see the price. He bought half a large watermelon, added a bunch of grapes and a large bag of apples, and ordered: "Eat more, supplement vitamins. "

In fact, he didn't know what vitamins were, but when he thought of not seeing his little grandson for a long time, he was reluctant to leave, and wished he could buy everything for this semester.

"I'll eat it up." Dou Tianxiao lifted the heavy watermelon, feeling that it must be very sweet.

"It's a pity, there are a lot of melons planted in the fields this year, and it will take two days to ripen. I guess you won't be able to eat them all, and your uncle and I won't be able to eat so many."

Dou Tianxiao didn't pay much attention, "Then let's sell it on the street, so as not to waste it."

Grandpa smiled lightly. He still hoped that his two children could eat it rather than selling it to others.

When passing by a stationery store, my grandfather turned his head and asked, "Are all the school supplies ready?"

"Oh, don't worry, everything is ready! Besides, there is a stationery store next to our dormitory, which can be bought at any time, which is very convenient." Dou Tianxiao said.

Grandpa thought about it, but couldn't find any reason to stay, "That's it, then I'll go back."

Dou Tianxiao nodded, seeing his grandfather walking a few steps and suddenly turning back, he was counting a lot of dimes in his hand, it looked like he made money from selling sweet potatoes.

Crumpled, a thick stack.

Dou Tianxiao immediately stepped forward to stop it, "Don't give it to me, I have enough pocket money, really enough!"

"Buy some better clothes, be good." Grandpa insisted on stuffing the money into his palm, as if only in this way could he fulfill his responsibility as a parent.

Dou Tianxiao had nothing to do with him, after putting away the money, he waved at his grandfather.

The afterglow of the setting sun swayed on the vast land, and the pedestrians on the road were bustling with people, but the only thing left in Dou Tianxiao's vision was the thin and thin figure from his back.

He couldn't even remember when his grandfather had a hunchback. He could carry him around when he was a child, but now he needed his uncle's help to lift a bag of rice. His trouser legs were dangling loosely, thin I can't even see the shape of his legs.

Why is grandpa getting old?

This sudden discovery made him feel extremely worried and sad.

He is particularly eager to grow, eager for money, and eager to have the ability to make his family no longer suffer.

Looking at the back of the old man gradually going away, Dou Tianxiao's nose was sore, and he shouted: "Grandpa! Take care of yourself!"

Grandpa gave him a deep and honest smile, turned around and disappeared at the end of the city.

The two children both went to study in the city, and the restaurant in the country suddenly became deserted.

My aunt's desire to buy a house is getting higher and higher day by day, and in the end she couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped her thigh and announced, "I want to buy a house!"

It has not been more than two weeks since she issued this order to pay the deposit.

The house was looked at by Jiang Qing. It is in the same community as Jiang Ran and the others. The geographical location is superior and the transportation is convenient. It is only seven or eight kilometers away from the most prosperous area in the city center. However, when Jiang Ran's family bought a house, the community was only one garden away. , ten buildings, and now it has expanded to five gardens, more than 70 buildings, and the housing prices have naturally risen.

Jiang Qing was far-sighted and had a unique vision. Back then, the house she bought with three bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms was more than 140 square meters, but it was only about four hundred thousand yuan, and the full payment was paid. The down payment can be paid first, and the rest can be mortgaged.

This means that the family has to save money and work hard for this 100-square-meter place.

The uncle did not tell the two children the specific amount of the loan, but only told them not to worry. Anyway, the second half of their life is still long, and they can pay it back slowly. When they get married and have children, they will finally be able to pay it off.

In order to reduce the burden on his family, Dou Tianxiao still goes to the boxing gym to work on weekends.

He met many boxers in the boxing gym, including amateurs and professionals, and even Xu Fei, who has won the world championship for three consecutive years. Of course, there are also some boxers who play underground boxing.

Underground boxing is the so-called black boxing. It is usually an illegal boxing match organized by some gangsters or business leaders. The purpose is nothing more than gambling and selling drugs-stimulants.

For a while, Dou Tianxiao got to know one of them, a boxer named Sun Yi, who was about the same age and had many unbearable memories.

But in terms of life experience, Sun Yi's is much more miserable than Dou Tianxiao's.

Not long after he was born, he was thrown at the entrance of the orphanage by his biological parents. He was adopted by a couple when he was four years old, but whoever thought that the man who wanted to adopt him had a car accident and left within a few years. Orphans and widows depend on each other.The old mother was not in good health and could not earn enough money to support his education. He was forced to drop out of school and go to work before he graduated from junior high school, and had to help the old mother treat her illness.

He worked as a hair shampooer in a barbershop, washed dishes in a restaurant, and took cash in a supermarket. Later, he was spotted by a gang of gangsters and asked him to go to a casino. Later, he lost tens of thousands of dollars because he was forced to gamble. I can follow a gang of gangsters to intimidate those old Lai who don't pay back the money, and have been detained for illegal fighting.

After he came out, he couldn't find a job, and was somehow dragged by his former brothers to the underground boxing gym to fight black boxing.

"You can earn tens of thousands per game at most." When Sun Yi said this, his eyes were shining brightly.

It is impossible for Dou Tianxiao not to be tempted by the tens of thousands of rewards for a fight, "Are the rules of boxing matches the same as professional ones? One-on-one? Or is it a team match?"

Sun Yi smiled inexplicably, "There are one-on-one team competitions, but one-on-one earns more."

When Dou Tianxiao wanted to continue inquiring, Yu Qingji dragged him to the lounge by his collar and received a warning.

"You don't hang out with them in the future."

"Why?" Dou Tianxiao was a little puzzled.

"Don't listen to him fooling around, underground boxing is an illegal organization, you have to sign a life and death certificate before you go on the field, and the boxing gym will not be responsible if you are dead or disabled. There are no rules, no routines, no distinction between kilograms, and even no professional ones. Referee, once you are on the field, the only thing you have to do is to beat your opponent to death, and you can only survive if you kill him." Yu Qingji said.

Dou Tianxiao was too shocked to speak.

Yu Qingji flicked his index finger on his forehead, "I'm not scaring you."

Although the reward was as tempting as a witch's red apple, the kid Dou Tianxiao was terrified of death. After all, he was so frightened by Yu Qingji's warning that he no longer dared to inquire about the underground boxing gym.
