Chapter X
He sat lazily on the steps of the school gate, bored, he took out a box of soft cigarettes from his trouser pocket, flicked the bottom of the cigarette case with his fingers, and a cigarette popped out of the opening, he took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth, and skillfully lit it.
He took a deep breath, and the burning cigarette butt ignited a blue smoke ring, and the green smoke rose in a curling air, and the smoke ring gradually spread, and when it was about to disperse, he spat out a puff of smoke, "destroying the floating smoke ring".
At this time, Xu Shiya quietly walked behind him, and Xu Shiya shouted mischievously, "I'm here!"
He quickly turned around, "Surprise me!"
Xu Shiya pointed to the cigarette roll in his hand, "When did you learn to smoke, it's hidden deep enough." ”
He stretched out the cigarette roll in his hand to Xu Shiya, and the cigarette butt was facing her, "Take a puff?"
Xu Shiya took it without hesitation, and sucked hard like him, this mouthful made her cough and tears flowed.
He snatched the cigarette from her hand, "The cigarette is inhaled in the lungs, if you swallow it hard, can you not choke." ”
Xu Shiya covered her mouth, "You give it back to me, I'll try again." ”
"Forget it, don't waste anything. ”
He handed her the cigarette case in his hand, "Carry it for me." ”
"Don't have any space in your pocket?"
"Yes, I just like the girl I like to help me carry my cigarette. ”
Xu Shiya happily took the cigarette and put it in her jacket pocket.
He looked at the schoolbag in Xu Shiya's hand, "Nothing was left behind." ”
"I didn't need to bring books, and the things I needed to bring were already brought from home, all in my school bag. ”
"Oh, go and say hello to your father. ”
Xu Shiya was puzzled, "Didn't you let me go to him?"
"You can't go to him until I'm expelled, it's better to say hello before leaving. ”
"Okay, I'll go up and say hello to him, and you can help me get my school bag. ”
He took Xu Shiya's schoolbag with one hand, he almost didn't catch it, the heavy schoolbag almost fell to the ground, he never thought that this seemingly ordinary schoolbag would be so heavy.
He weighed Xu Shiya's schoolbag again, felt the weight of the schoolbag, and judged that there was a "clanging" sound from inside, which seemed to be a mixed collision between plastic products and glass products.
He suddenly had an unpredictable fear of the girl who was about to live with him.
He looked up at Xu Shiya's back as she left in a hurry, her free and easy back was like a lightly armed female general, heroically rushing to the battlefield on the front line.
He shouted to her, "You come back." ”
Xu Shiya turned around, "What's wrong?"
He stepped forward and hugged Xu Shiya tightly, put his mouth close to her ear and said, "Say goodbye to your father, say calmly, don't be angry." ”
Xu Shiya, who was bathed in happiness, first nodded, and then shook her head.
He pushed her away, "Go ahead." ”
The principal's office is located in the middle of the top floor of the teaching building, and the teachers and students of the school will always subconsciously glance at the door number when passing by the door of the principal's office, and their eyes will touch the words on the door number, and a sense of oppression will arise in their hearts.
However, among the teachers and students in the school, there is one person who ignores the door number of the principal's office, and this person is Xu Shiya.
Xu Shiya pushed open the door of the principal's office, rushed to the principal who was bowing his head and asked, "Let me ask you, did you mean to expel Chen Zifeng?"
The principal raised his head, "You don't go to class, what are you doing here!"
"I still have the heart to go to class, how can you be embarrassed to say that?"
The principal saw that his daughter's stubborn temper came up, and his serious face quickly turned into a pleasant face, "Girl, you close the door first and come in." ”
Xu Shiya went straight to the black leather sofa opposite the desk, let the office door open wide, she sat on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest, and her childish pretty face twisted to the other side.
The principal reluctantly walked to the door, closed the door gently, and then sat next to Xu Shiya.
"Don't get so close to me," Xu Shiya quickly moved to the other side of the sofa, "You just said that you meant to expel Chen Zifeng, don't let me ask you over and over again." ”
"Chen Zifeng fought and made trouble, if he didn't seriously violate the school rules and discipline, I wouldn't make this decision. I am the principal of this school, and if anyone who violates the school rules and discipline is not punished, how can I still manage this school. ”
Xu Shiya glanced at her father with disdain, "Hypocrisy." ”
"What did you say?"
Xu Shiya's angry eyes glared at the principal, "I said you were hypocritical!"
"How can you say that about me!"
"Am I wrong?"
The headmaster stood up suddenly, "I think you're really stiff in your wings! Raising you so big and cultivating you so hard is that you are going to treat me like this?"
"Hmph, as a father, I don't want you to give me privileges, it's enough to understand! Do you understand me? If you expel my classmates, who will dare to approach me in the future? If you let your classmates reject me, this is your cultivation of me?"
"As the head of a school, what you want to cultivate is every student in the school, Chen Zifeng from the first year of junior high school to the present, people have never dropped the top ten in the school in every exam, and when the high school entrance examination is approaching, you actually expelled someone, you have broken off other people's studies and broken people's future!"
"Why did you do this, and what right do you have to do this! You say that he violated school rules and discipline because of the fight, but what about Sun Hao, who beat people? What about Wang Meng, who beat people? The person who was beaten was expelled, but the person who beat people was not held accountable, I think you, the principal, are just cultivating the children of powerful families!"
The enraged principal slapped his daughter in the face, "Bastard! I'm the principal of this school, I can fire whoever I want, I can cultivate whoever I want, I don't need you to point fingers at what I do!"
Xu Shiya covered her hot face, and her eyes were filled with tears of hatred.
Looking at his daughter's moist eyes, the principal began to regret his impulsiveness, and he tried to reassure his daughter, but she pushed him away.
"I call you dad today, and it's the last one in my life. ”
After Xu Shiya finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Shiya, you come back, you listen to Daddy's explanation. ”
She opened the office door and looked back at her father, "I'd rather you be an ordinary teacher than a principal." ”
With a bang, the door of the principal's office was slammed shut by her, and the door number shook to the ground, she looked at the door number at her feet, stomped it a few times, and finally kicked it away.
......
In the afternoon, the market is deserted, there are few people buying vegetables, some stalls have been covered with canvases to shade the sun, and some random people leave their stalls to the nearby stall owners to take care of, only waiting for the customers to come back.
Some of these stall owners who leave their stalls for a short time will go to other stalls to chat with other stall owners, and some will gather in the nearby shaded places to play cards or join in the fun.
In her spare time, Chenzishan's grandmother was not willing to join in the fun, she always stayed at her stall and rarely left.
Their grandmother was a person who was trusted by other stall owners, and it was customary for nearby stall owners to hand over their stalls to her to look after.
Whenever a customer was stunned at a stall where no one was there, she took the initiative to greet them and ask them what vegetables they needed.
Grandma treats other people's dishes as if they were her own, even if she is a picky guest, she will patiently explain, but many uninformed guests mistakenly think that it is her vegetable stall.
When my grandmother received money from someone else's food, she usually folded it separately and put it in another pocket for safekeeping, just waiting for the stall owner to come back and return it to them.
The person in the vegetable market who sold different things from her grandmother whispered to her, "Old lady, your vegetables are fresher and cleaner than theirs, why don't you pull these customers to your stall?"
Grandma smiled and said to them, "I'm a person, I can't do business, I can't do business." ”
Some people do not agree with grandma's statement, "Doing business is the same as being a person, especially selling vegetables, it is not a one-shot deal, and you often come when you eat well." ”
Grandma smiled and thanked them for the compliment, "Nothing, nothing." ”
The happiest thing about grandma is that this group of stall owners mentioned their two well-behaved grandchildren in front of her, and others praised them for being handsome, smart and sensible, and they are even more outstanding in their studies, and they will definitely be admitted to prestigious universities in the future.
When Grandma heard these words, she couldn't close her mouth with joy.
Especially my brother Chenzishan, whenever he eats vegetables in the morning, he is all alone to help his grandmother carry them, and he is always polite when he meets people in the vegetable field, and his filial piety and sensibility have aroused the love of the whole vegetable market.
It is difficult to have a bowl of water evenly, sometimes it is difficult for grandma to be completely fair, and it is easy to tend to the small one, while the big one seems to never take it to heart, and still works hard to help her take care of her business and take care of the family. Twin brothers have no one to do, who should not do it, when the elder brother does not say it, grandma is already very happy.
These two grandsons are the pride of grandma's heart, she never gets tired of the praise of the people around her, and the only thing that makes her feel embarrassed is Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law.
Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law's stall is next to her grandmother, and she is arguing every day to marry her baby daughter to her brother, and her grandmother always smiles helplessly, "They are still young, they are still children, and they will talk about it when they grow up." ”
Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law told her grandmother that she was bored, and she would excuse herself like this, "The children's affairs are decided by the children." ”
However, that afternoon, Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law happened to hear a conversation between him and his grandmother, and at this time she completely changed her mind.
"Grandma, I've told you the ins and outs of the matter, I really can't help it, please promise me. ”
After hearing his words, the old man in his sixties was so angry that he almost jumped up, "Chenzi Mountain, you beast!"
This scolding attracted the attention of the whole vegetable market, and their eyes were full of surprise, and they wondered what could make the usually peaceful old lady so angry.
"You forgot that you told me at noon that you want me to go to college, I don't want to go to college, I just want to finish junior high school...... But I really have no other way, we have found many hotels, and they have been kicked out without ID cards, so we can't let her sleep on the streets...... You let her stay in our house for a few days, not more, just a few days. ”
"Not for a day! You send her back to school. ”
"I can't send her back, I have to! I have to take her away from home before her father will be so anxious that he will not take extreme measures, and his father will not allow me to go back to school." ”
"If you do such a thing, I'd rather not let you read this book! You forgot your father, and you want to be like him in the future?"
I know myself, I know what kind of road I will take in the future, I know what I will become in the future, and I am definitely not like him...... Grandma, even if it's you, you won't understand, I just want to finish junior high school, and that's enough for me. ”
"It's important to study or to be a person, and you are the way to him. I always thought you were more sensible than your brother, but now I know that you are far worse than your brother!"
He sneered, "Grandma, you don't understand at all, you don't understand anything. ”
"It's you who doesn't understand!"
"Grandma, if I want to study, why don't I go to high school and college? I leave the opportunity to my brother, he wants to study and let him study enough, I have read enough. ”
"No matter what you have in mind, using a girl to achieve your own goals, you are committing a crime, and you are not afraid of retribution one day!"
"Retribution? God's punishment for me is not enough, and if he wants to continue, I will gladly accept it. ”
"Chenzishan, let me ask you one last time, do you insist on doing this?"
"If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up!"
"You go, you're no longer my grandson. ”
"Where are you going to let me go?"
"As long as you don't show up in front of me, you can go anywhere. ”
He buried his head and smiled bitterly, "Grandma, I was fired by them, and instead of going to them to reason, you kicked me out of the house......"
There was some wetness in the corners of his eyes, "Okay, okay, I listen to you, I will never appear in front of you." ”
......
At the door of the vegetable market, Xu Shiya looked at him who was depressed, and said with a smile, "We can't go home now." ”
He sighed, "Otherwise, you can go back to school." ”
"I'm running away with you, I'm playing with you! Chen Zifeng, we have a long road ahead, and there are still many difficulties, so where is this. ”
"I can't even find a place to stay now, let alone in the future. ”
"You don't have a friend or anything, let's deal with it for the time being. ”
Xu Shiya's words reminded him of a person, but this person can't be called a friend, "Yes, but ......"
"But what. ”
"Let's not stand here, the people here know me, let's talk as we walk. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you wherever you go. ”
He looked at Xu Shiya's innocent smiling face, if he didn't live with other girls in his heart, maybe he would really take her away.
Xu Shiya looked at his fiery eyes and lowered her head shyly, "Don't patronize me, you can tell me where we are going." ”
He came to his senses, "This person I know, others call him Brother Guang, he has an underground workshop that produces imitations in the old city, not very far from my home, I have worked there, and he has given me some fine work to do, so it is not bad for me." Brother Guang is well-connected, finding a place to live for a few days is a trivial matter for him, but ......"
"But what?"
"He belongs to the scum of society, it's okay not to take you, but now with you, you are beautiful, I am afraid that he will be a thief to you. ”
When he just finished speaking, Xu Shiya was a little frightened, and after thinking about it carefully, a little joy sprouted in his heart - if he was worried that others would think about him, he must have thought about himself first.
"Let's go find him now. "Xu Shiya at this moment, let alone a wolf's den, even if it is a tiger's den in Longtan, she dares to break in, as long as she is accompanied by him, she will not feel afraid, only surprised.
"You're not afraid?"
Xu Shiya said indifferently, "I don't study anymore, I don't want my home, it's a big deal to break into a thief's den." ”
"You're such a crazy girl. ”
"I'm not a crazy girl, you're just cowardly. ”
"I'm cowardly, and if I'm cowardly, I won't take you away. ”
Xu Shiya smiled, "That's right, liking someone can really make people bold, let's go now." ”
"I didn't really want to go. ”
"Then let's think about it again and see where else we can go. ”
"Where is there a place, I don't have much money on me, and I can't solve the problem with money. ”
Xu Shiya giggled, "Actually, I'm worried that you're a macho person, so I haven't dared to tell you." ”
Xu Shiya was close to his ear, "I also took a card from home. ”
Xu Shiya took out a golden bank card from her wallet, and drew it to him a few times, under the reflection of the sun, the bank card emitted a dazzling golden light, "Guess how much is in it?"
"How would I know. ”
Xu Shiya gestured the number "two" in front of him.
"Two thousand?"
Xu Shiya shook her head.
He was surprised, "Twenty thousand!"
Xu Shiya shook her head vigorously.
He looked at the card in Xu Shiya's hand in disbelief, "Oh my God! Do you know the password?"
"Of course I do, it's my birthday. ”
Looking at her smug smile, his expression became solemn, "Do you know that you made it difficult for me to do this!"
"Aren't you worried about running out of money, now that we have money, we can rent a house, we can rent anywhere, and it won't be a problem to rent it for three or five years...... It's a big deal to stuff the landlord with more money and keep him shut, he will definitely not go around shouting about our underage when he has money. ”
"I'm not talking about this, you take so much money out, things get complicated. ”
"What's the complication?"
He originally wanted to take Xu Shiya away for a few days, but when her father was anxious, he would naturally ask his younger brother to bring him home. When things are going well, he will ask the principal to reject the dismissal of "Chen Zifeng", and he will naturally have the opportunity to return to school again, and his wish to enjoy the last student time behind them will be granted. In addition, the principal and the head teacher no longer dared to touch a single hair of their Chen brother, and the younger brother could study well.
Now that Xu Shiya has brought so much money out, her nature has changed, in case her parents call the police, and she is caught by the police again, it will be a big trouble. After all, it was she who instigated her to run away from home, and when she entered the bureau, she couldn't explain it clearly even if she had a hundred mouths. Coupled with his grandmother's incomprehension and kicking herself out of the house, he began to wonder if this desperate gamble was worth continuing.
And if he gives up now, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"Chen Zifeng, otherwise let's go to other cities, they can't find me, and they will be grateful that the 200,000 didn't let me suffer. ”
"No, I can't go, you better go back. ”
"Why are you retreating again? It's only been less than half a day, and you persuaded me to go back twice, are you the Chen Zifeng I know?"
"Go back. ”
"I'm not going back, I'm not going back. ”
"You're not like me, you can still turn back. ”
"I decided to go with you today, and I have no intention of turning back. ”
"Let's go, let's go back to school. ”
"You'll repeat that for me?"
"I'll let you go back!"
Xu Shiya pointed at him fiercely, "Okay, don't regret it!" With that, she turned her head away.
He shouted at the desperate back, "Where are you going?"
"Where can I go, if you don't even want me anymore," she gestured to him with the bank card in her hand, "then I'll take the 200,000 and wander the world." ”
"Don't be so willful, you come over to me!"
Being yelled at by him like this, Xu Shiya, who had no hesitation, immediately turned into a docile kitten and tiptoed close to his side, "I regret it so soon." ”
"I have no regrets. ”
"Yes, don't regret it, don't regret anything, the water that was spilled can't be recovered, since you have made a decision, even if you die, you have to go on hard...... Chen Zifeng, don't be so fragile, I hope you are strong, don't forget, you brought me out. ”
"Yes, before I met my grandmother, I was always worried that it was you who was clamoring to go back and give up, and I thought of many reasons to persuade you to stay," he laughed, "I didn't expect this person to be my ......"
He looked up at her and said with a serious expression, "I still want you to understand that although I brought you out, I didn't know that you took so much money from home, and this is the case, when I learned that you came out with so much money, I tried my best to persuade you to go home, but instead of listening, you wanted to go away alone." I can't persuade you to go home, and I can't put any personal safety in your life, so I have to keep you.
"Let's make these clear first, I'm not a greedy person, I don't want to have anything to do with your 200,000 yuan, if one day ...... I want you to say that to anyone. ”
"Okay, okay, you put a hundred hearts, I won't tell anyone that you brought me out, I did it voluntarily. Even if something happens one day, I will insist that I insisted on doing it myself, and it has nothing to do with you, and the responsibility is all on me, so you should rest assured. ”
He nodded.
Xu Shiya grabbed his arm, "Then where are we going now?"
"I can only go to Brother Guang, and only he can find a place that is not found by others. ”
......
She closed her eyes and wept bitterly, her melancholy and sad thoughts traveled through time, and the pain to the bone understood the emotions of her youth.
In the haze, she seemed to see her thin self standing in the dark and cold night, and there was a gust of wind blowing in the dark night, and rolling thunder sounded. Suddenly, a warm and soft sunlight pierced through the dense dark clouds and shone in front of him, and he stood in this sunlight, looking back at himself with a bright and charming smile. With tears streaming down her face, she involuntarily called out his name. He heard it, but looked up at the thick dark clouds that were obscuring the sun, and he turned and leaped, turning into countless crows, flying into the gloomy sky and disappearing from her vision.
Others said that Xu Shiya was a fool, her parents loved her so much, but she eloped with a boy who didn't even want her parents, and in the end, she didn't even know who she was going to elope. ”
She told me that she praised herself for being a moth to a fire, and that the moth burned itself, but when it turned to ashes, it knew that it was a fire, and that she was a moth, and what was it that she was doing?
"She knew in her heart that she was a tool. ”
"And our sisters, as stupid as Xu Shiya, even more stupid than her! Our sisters are fratricidal, our sisters are bleeding, and in the end, just for the word 'stupid'. ”
"When we were very young, from the moment we met you, the struggle between our sisters never stopped, how old were we at that time...... After so many years, the more we sisters fought, the more we understood what we wanted, but in the end, none of us got it. ”
