Those years when I raised bosses

"Han Pingping? Is your father okay recently?" Tong Tong vaguely realized that the atmosphere on the other side of the phone was a bit abnormal. Although we had dinner together that time, Lao Han should call He Liantian directly if there is anything wrong. , how could it be the turn of an underage child?

"Uncle He, the school asked my parents to come to school this afternoon, and talk to the class teacher. Can you help me?" It may have been rejected by others before, and the expectations are getting lower and lower.

"Yes. I have time. Where is your school? Is it too late for me to drive there?" Tong Tong looked at his watch, and it was already around 12 noon. He didn't ask why, but agreed first.Since Han Pingping asked for help, and he had no other important things to do, why did he refuse?The child looked cynical and rebellious, maybe he got into trouble and didn't want the real parents to know, so he secretly called from Lao Han's mobile phone and asked someone to replace him.

"You don't even ask why?" Han Pingping's tone finally became turbulent, "I'm at No. XX Ping'an Street, at the entrance of the X Middle and High School Department. Can we meet and talk?"

"No one is watching the children at home, can I take He Xiaolu with me?" Tong Tong tried.If it was troublesome, with Han Pingping's basic conscience, he probably wouldn't let him bring the baby.Anyway, when driving, if there is a scene that is not suitable for children to see, Tong Tong will be so cruel that he will not get out of the car and turn around first. After all, He Xiaolu's safety must be taken care of first.

"It should be fine, just go to listen to the class teacher's training. Maybe you took He Xiaolu with you, and the class teacher's heart softened after seeing it." Han Pingping said lightly on the other end of the phone, revealing an unconcealable sadness and broken cans. means.

It's only been a few weeks since school started, did Han Pingping really get into trouble by being mischievous?Tong Tong became more and more worried, had a quick bite of lunch with He Xiaolu, and immediately drove to the gate of X Middle School.

The law and order on this street has always been good. Tong Tong drove around and saw Han Pingping wearing the school uniform of X Middle School standing alone at the appointed place, and there were no unknown people wandering around, so he found a paid parking lot nearby to park his car. After parking, get off the car with He Xiaolu in his arms and meet Han Pingping.

When he got closer, he realized that Han Pingping was wearing a black band on the sleeve of his school uniform, which was not neat.The last time I had dinner with Lao Han and his son, Lao Han's mother had been buried for a long time, and the black hoop that was particular about folk customs had been removed long ago.Is there another funeral for the Han family this time?

"Your father is busy with a project? Or did you mess up something and dare not tell the real parents?" Tong Tong asked casually, and then boasted, "Okay, you, you really got admitted to the key high school in Xicheng!"

Han Pingping curled his lips, his eyes were slightly red, he hesitated for a moment before whispering: "My dad just left a few days ago. But don't worry, Uncle He, I will pay back your 3000 yuan wages for my dad in the future."

Tong Tong was startled inwardly, and couldn't help asking anxiously: "What did you say? Lao Han...has left? What's going on, please explain clearly. If you don't explain clearly, I won't go with you to see the head teacher."

Han Pingping was walking forward with his head down, but suddenly stopped, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said stubbornly, "No one else needs to worry about our family's affairs. Just say if you want to help me this time, or if you don't want to help me." Go back, I'll find someone else. My dad isn't the only friend who lives in the city."

"Don't, just call me uncle. I will definitely help you with what I promised you. It would be unfair to leave after all the people come. Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

Although Tong Tong really wanted to know what happened to Lao Han and left in such a hurry, but this kind of rebellious child could only masturbate and choke, but there was no good result, so he quickly changed roles to rebel against the young people. Tiao Tiao, who loves to listen, said, "Then let's string together words in advance, how can you make my speech clear. Which relative of you am I, what's my name? Am I here to sign and make a deposit or to apologize? I will see your head teacher in a while. Is the grandson admitting it, or is he trying to protect your rights? I'm afraid that if there is any problem, I didn't mention the point, and you will be implicated."

Only then did Han Pingping look directly at He Liantian and his son.

When we ate together at the beginning, Han Pingping didn't think much of it except for the uncle's good looks. Isn't he just a brick-and-mortar delivery guy?Today is really helpless, the blind cat killed the mouse and called him. I didn't expect the other party to agree without asking anything. He was still so reasonable and righteous. The haze in his heart dissipated slightly. Han Pingping thought for a while and replied : "Just say you are my cousin, and you can use your original name and surname. Actually, it's not a big deal. I injured a classmate in a fight, and his parents sued the head teacher. I even admitted my mistake and said that I paid for the medical expenses. They still Seriously, I have to insist on meeting my parents to make an apology in person."

"Is it justified for you to hit someone?"

"No reason, I just felt that the kid was sloppy, so I couldn't help but hit him." Han Pingping said disapprovingly.

If this attitude is his own son, he will definitely beat him up, but the opposite is someone else's son, and Tong Tong doesn't think too much about it.At least Han Pingping has realized that he is unreasonable and it is wrong to hit someone. If he preaches to him for no reason, he may not be able to listen to him. It is better to be pragmatic and say: "Okay, I understand. Are you going to pretend to be a grandson? How much will you pay, are you ready?"

Han Pingping said stiffly: "Originally, I should pay you three thousand salary, but the other party wants one or two thousand for medical expenses. I didn't argue. That brat was broken by me, which is enough for him. When he sees me later Definitely take a detour. If you need the money urgently, the rest will be given to you first, and the family can make up some more money. If you don’t need the money urgently, let me owe you another two years. When I am full, I will go to work and owe you Sooner or later, I will pay back the wages for my dad."

"That can't be regarded as the money owed by Lao Han. If Party A has been in arrears and hasn't paid the balance, we'll just wait." Tong Tong said calmly.

The tears in Han Pingping's eyes couldn't be held back any longer. They slid down his cheeks and choked up, "That unscrupulous Party A secretly mortgaged the project for auction and ran away with the money. I didn't know the truth at first, so I just buried myself in the book." , My dad went around looking for someone to find out the way without telling me, and later confirmed that he would not return the last salary, and died of a heart attack in a hurry. He was sober for a while during the rescue, and specifically told me two things, One is to pay back all the wages owed to others for him, and the second is to insist on finishing high school. If it wasn't because I promised him, I wouldn't be wasting time in this poor high school."

"Xzhong, the Western City of the Imperial Capital, is a key city. Many people can't pass the exam. You can pass the exam, which shows that you have a talent for reading." Tong Tong sincerely praised, and then said, "A man should do what he says. It’s not like staying there for two or three years, at least the high school diploma here is more valuable than that in the village.”

Han Pingping's face showed a little relaxation, which shows that he is also proud of his previous academic performance.The two of them chatted for a while, and walked straight to the door of the head teacher's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, Tong Tong hugged He Xiaolu and walked in front of him without looking sideways. Han Pingping pretended to be obedient and obediently bowed his head and followed behind. In fact, he stole a glance at the middle-aged parents beside him, and saw that the other party's anger had dissipated a lot. , but also a little confidence.

Tong Tong wasn't afraid of apologizing or anything. He just nodded in response to what the head teacher said. The attitude of apologizing is very good.He Xiaolu is also obedient, not as naughty as ordinary children, and nodded with his father with a face of being taught and obedient, which made the adults present couldn't bear it. He was still a little bit angry, but now it's all gone.

At the end of the class teacher's speech, he said earnestly: "The school knows that Han Pingping's parents are gone. He usually lives in school, and his relatives are busy and neglected to discipline him, but he can't let himself go, right? His entrance exam results are at the bottom. Zhou is not good at class and fights and makes trouble. Now I meet open-minded parents who are willing to reconcile. In case of a big mess in the future, the school will not be able to take care of it. High school is not compulsory education. If you get demerit three times, you will be forced to drop out of school. At that time, Han Pingping couldn’t get a graduation certificate, is it because of his hard work? We are the city’s key point, and less than 10 students from the outer suburbs can pass the exam every year. I heard from the teachers in the junior high school that Han Pingping worked very hard when he was borrowing , Why has it become like this now? Aren’t you parents responsible? "

After all, He Liantian is not a real relative, so Han Pingping was a little bit apologetic for him, and he couldn't help but mutter: "When I was in junior high school, my dad found out that he had a heart problem. He was afraid that it would affect my exam, so he just took medicine without surgery. He said If I can't get into this high school, he will give up treatment, so I studied hard at that time. But now he is still gone, I..."

"Some people can't pass the exam even if they are forced to die at home. Is it possible that the teacher can tell it. But what others say is useless, the key is what you think." The head teacher has been teaching on the front line all year round , the most important thing is to understand the problem of the problem students, knowing that too much preaching is more rebellious, so stop when you can, and turn your head to talk to the parents of the students who were beaten.

The family did not know at first that Han Pingping's parents died and his grandmother who had been dependent on him since childhood also passed away. Now seeing his relatives come forward, they are on call on weekdays to come to apologize. He looks handsome. He looked very polite and sincere, and finally he stopped worrying about it and left with the medical expenses.

Seeing that the lunch break was coming to an end, the head teacher had no time to talk, so he took Han Pingping to class first.But Tong Tong kept his eyes open, and didn't leave the school in a hurry, but asked someone to find out the location of the student dormitory, bought some food and drink, and took He Xiaolu to squat there directly.

Fortunately, it was only the first year of high school, and there was no compulsory evening self-study after class in the afternoon. It was not dark, and the students who didn't live on campus went back to their homes to find their mothers.Han Pingping exudes the smell of no strangers, walking to the dormitory alone with only a steamed bun in his hand, which is completely different from other students who are carrying a full lunch box to eat and drink.

Han Pingping didn't expect that He Liantian and his son would wait all afternoon and still not leave, he was a little surprised, then he said with disdain after thinking about it: "Oh, I was busy with class just now, but I forgot, and I haven't told you about the salary yet. I only have 500 yuan in my pocket, do you need it now?"

"If you give me the money, you won't even be able to afford steamed buns in the next few months?" Tong Tong retorted.

Han Pingping frowned, and said stubbornly: "You want to take care of it? Do you really consider me a relative?"

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, just throw it away when you're done using it? The homeroom teacher hasn't finished get off work yet, so I'll go to him to clarify that I have nothing to do with you. What will he do?" Tong Tong threatened slightly.

Han Pingping's stiff neck suddenly softened, and he said helplessly, "Then why are you waiting for me?"

Tong Tong patted the small back of He Xiaolu, who was tired in his arms, and said sincerely: "I also have a son, and I was taken care of by your father back then. Now that I know about your family, I can't pretend to be nothing." I don’t know, let’s see if there is anything else you need help with. Let’s help people to the end. I remember that you have an aunt in the city. I heard that she doesn’t have to go to work after retirement. Why don’t you call her instead? Another person to pretend to be your parent? Is it because you are afraid of making her unhappy? "

Han Pingping's eyes darkened, he hesitated for a moment, and then he spit out: "Of course my aunt is very good to me. Even if I tell her the truth, she won't blame me. But some time ago, she got divorced, and she can't live anymore. How can I bother her with such a shameless thing when she takes the bus for hours in the city and apologizes to others?"

"Trouble me with shameless things, so you can feel at ease?"

Han Pingping smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I haven't repaid the money I owe you. No matter how much I owe you, I won't worry about the debt. Last time we had dinner together, I know you live nearby, maybe you are free?"

"Come on, let's have dinner with us. My baby and I are hungry, and it's tiring to stand and talk." Tong Tong said decisively, looking at Han Pingping earnestly, "Anyway, we owe money and favors. Now, if you owe one more meal, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back in the future?"

Han Pingping originally wanted to refuse, but the provocative method finally worked.Just leave, eat a meal, and return to part-time work in the future.

I found a clean and hygienic small restaurant nearby, and Tong Tong ordered a table of meat and vegetable dishes, and sat down to chat while eating.

Cannibalism is short-spoken, or it may be that he has been depressed for too long and no one has talked about it. Under Tong Tong's guidance, Han Pingping finally narrated the bad things: "...my uncle and his family hated my aunt in the early years. Those who come from the countryside have little culture. When they got married in the city, they didn’t invite the villagers to have a wedding banquet. Every time my aunt went back to the village to visit my grandma, no one from their family came. My aunt also said that they were busy with work and smoothed things over. .In fact, they just look down on our family.

Later, I blamed my aunt for giving birth to a pair of female dolls, which added a lot of burden to the family, not to mention cutting off the family's fireworks.At that time, in order to take care of the paralyzed old man in my uncle's family and take care of the newborn child, my aunt retired from the factory and relied on my uncle to take care of her.Their family is not used to the cynicism and sarcasm. In fact, although my aunt does not work, she takes care of the family's food and drink, and is disgusted by her busy life every day. These grievances are bored by herself, and she has never mentioned it to us. .

In the past, when my dad was here, I gave my aunt some money every year. This year, my dad didn't go to work for my study, so my aunt didn't want the money from my dad.In the end, my uncle was dissatisfied, so he beat up my aunt crazily by getting drunk when he had nothing to do.My aunt couldn't bear to divorce, and my father also supported my aunt's decision.It was just a few days after we had dinner with you, my aunt sued my uncle to the court, and the evidence was convincing and he was sentenced on the spot. His family still disliked my two cousins ​​for making money from girl movies, so they threw them all to me Aunt raised.

Pooh, even if his family wanted to raise him, my aunt would never agree.Last month, my aunt brought my two cousins ​​back to the village and changed their surname to Han.The three of their mothers now live in my original house and help take care of the house and land of my uncle and me.Hmph, my uncle and his family don't know about the demolition of our village, just wait and see, let them regret it to death.I regret not letting them post again.In the future, I will take care of my aunt, and when the new house is allocated, we can count the rent and count the money until we are soft.

Oh, by the way, I heard from a friend in the next-door village that it takes two to three years to build a new house, but the demolition is a temporary housing subsidy, and the monthly payment is based on the original living area, at least several hundred.Anyway, I don’t need to rent a swing room to live on campus. When the time comes, the money will be collected and saved enough for my aunt and the others. There should be some left over. I will pay you back a little bit of your salary. Don’t worry. "

"Has the official notice of demolition come down?" According to the usual situation, if the official notice is issued, follow-up procedures will be put on the agenda, and there is no need to worry about Han Pingping's living expenses.But if it's just a rumor that it's going to be demolished, and there's no working group there yet, then the so-called subsidy is far from a shadow.

Old Han passed away, Aunt Han Pingping didn't have a job, and her sister who was far away in Shanghai and her uncle who worked hard in the south couldn't quench their thirst, so they might not be able to cope.In fact, it's not all about money.

Han Pingping was obviously able to be admitted to a listed key high school because he had the foundation and talent for further studies. Lao Han must have known this at the beginning, so he gave up his job without hesitation and went to the city to accompany him to study.Now that Han Pingping has no elders by his side, if he really doesn't want to study hard and spends his time until he graduates from high school, although he may be the second generation without worrying about living in a house, it is far from what Lao Han expected.

Han Pingping looks like a rebellious teenager, but he is actually a kind and righteous person who knows how to repay kindness, and can distinguish right from wrong, responsible and assertive.Such a good child can't be delayed, we must find a way to help him.

"There is no official notice yet. When my dad was still here, I heard from the village chief that someone from the demolition office has already come to make a preliminary investigation. It is estimated that there should be a clear news by the end of the year at the earliest." Han Pingping is not worried that he has no money to spend. "The house we rented in the city was originally signed for three years, but now it has been refunded. The landlord is kind and gave me all the deposit. My uncle and my sister helped with my dad's funeral and left the money for me. He also said that he would give me tuition and living expenses every year in the future, Uncle He, I am really not short of money. I just don’t have much appetite, so I just bought a steamed bun today to make do with it.”

Looking at the dishes on the table that Han Pingping had just swept away, it was really hard to believe that he had no appetite.Tong Tong didn't have the nerve to expose the young man's face, so he asked, "Then what are you going to do after you finish high school? Are you really living on the rent that was supplied to your family after the demolition?"
