Although the appearance is quite miserable, Tong Tong is still very strong and full of vitality. Lao Niu felt very relieved, and once again fantasized that it would be great if he had such a child!

The two of them are indeed getting busier and busier the Chinese New Year, in other words, they are running away from the family in disguise. Because every Chinese New Year, there are only two of them in the family, and they always talk over and over again, if the child survived, how lively should the family be? Take advantage of the holiday to take the child out to play, even if you are at home watching TV and having the laughter of the child, it will not be as lifeless as now.

Therefore, the Spring Festival of two people often ends with the wife bursting into tears and the husband sighing. In Lao Niu's words, it's good to be on duty! You don't have to face a deserted home, and your salary has doubled. But the two of them are busy pretending to be smiling, and these Tong Tong children all know it.

Not mentioning those little gangsters, Niu Changqing asked about the amount of compensation. He always felt that the Zhang family had lost less, but Zhang Yongming was indeed quite honest and generous. Lao Niu was entangled for a long time, and sighed: "Okay, people who study the Fa always know more than us." You and your dad can accept it, let's not pursue it. ”

Having said that, he was a little depressed: "It stands to reason that the Zhang family has a big business, if you and your father are not satisfied, he can pay more, 10,000 yuan is really not much." ”

"Uncle Niu, 10,000 yuan is compensation, if he gives more, it will not be compensation, but charity. ”

“......”

"While the more money the better, the more he gives, the stronger the sense of superiority in him. Even if he gave me more money, I didn't like it, and I didn't like it. He probably understands it, too. ”

The old cow patted him approvingly on the shoulder. Yes, he is not very old, he lives quite clearly, and more importantly, he is so poor that he has backbone.

"Besides, he made it very clear to me, what is the cost of lost work, mental damage, or something...... But I'm not interested in listening. Actually, it's okay, don't look at me wrapped tightly, but the injury is not so serious, and I will be discharged from the hospital in two or three days. ”

Niu Changqing said: "It stands to reason that those little gangsters should also be compensated, but one of them is poorer than the other, I called their parents to the police station to talk, compensation is impossible, teach them a lesson, and it can be regarded as a vent for you." ”

Tong Tong nodded and smiled at him gratefully. Lao Niu also wanted to ask him if he had any news of his biological parents, but in front of his classmates, he could only tell him to take care of his body and not to be too tired.

Niu Changqing was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye. Tong Tong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Niu, what is the name of the little gangster you just said?"

"I want to think about it...... It seems to be called Gao Xiaobao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it just feels familiar. I should have seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a moment. ”

"If you can't think of it, forget it, you are a good student now, and you will go to college in the future, and you won't have anything to do with him, what are you doing with those spirits?"

That's true, Tong Tong really doesn't want to. He stayed in the hospital until the eighth day of junior high school, and he was in a hurry to be discharged. Although he limped, he was basically able to take care of himself. Lao Tong had already gone home before him, he had removed all the traces of the fight at home, and bought new flower pots. During the Chinese New Year, many stores were not open, and Lao Tong obviously spent a lot of effort to arrange it, which can be regarded as a gesture of favor to Tong Tong.

Tong Tong accepted his "overtures", and the two of them still didn't have anything to say, but they didn't get awkward to get along. Tong Tong occasionally said a word or two that the food at home was very delicious recently, and Lao Tong vaguely agreed. He is a person who is not particular about eating, but since Tong Tong came home, he did put some thought into his meals.

Sun Chengcai still sent food to Tong Tong, but Lao Tong was reluctant to eat it, so he kept it all for his adopted son. After a few days, Lao Tong bought some snacks and came back, Tong Tong was just about to eat, but Lao Tong was drunk: "Wait for Cheng Cai to come next time, let him take it home! His parents gave you so much to eat, we should repay it. ”

When he really grows up, Tong Tong often thinks of these little things, maybe unintentionally, Lao Tong taught him all the principles of life!

Lao Tong wanted to save up the compensation fee given by Zhang Yongming and prepare to leave it for Tong Tong to go to college, but unfortunately, most of the money was spent before it was hot. Because Lao Tong is sick again, if he doesn't have this money, it is estimated that Tong Tong will have to be cheeky to go out and borrow money.

Lao Tong was not in good health, because Tong Tong's affairs were in a hurry, and he ran around in the cold wind, and his fragile body bones could not hold it anymore. After the tenth day of the first month, Lao Tong kept having a fever and coughing, curled up on the bed like a shrimp, and kept shivering. Tong Tong asked him to go to the hospital to take a look, and he said weakly: "No, just lie down." I can't cook for you these days, so you can go out and buy food!"

Tong Tong persuaded for two days, Lao Tong dragged on for two days, and finally coughed up blood before going to the hospital. Lao Tong had lung cancer many years ago, but it was detected very early at that time, and he was young, and he was miraculously cured. Now he vomits blood again, and before he has been examined, he is too frightened to walk. Fortunately, there was a false alarm, but the throat was coughed, and there was nothing wrong with other places, but hospitalization observation was inevitable. Now it's okay, there are only two people in the family, and they actually occupy all the words "old, weak, sick and disabled".

Tong Tong was lame on one leg and hanging on one arm, he still had to ask others to buy food, how could he go to the hospital to take care of Lao Tong? How could he concentrate on reviewing his homework? Although he was used to living a hard life, Tong Tong had never complained so much about life. On the second night of Lao Tong's hospitalization, he stayed in the courtyard, trying to calm himself down with cold air, but then there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Tong Tong expressed his anger in a loud voice, he really hoped that the comer would not be good, so that he could fight happily and his heart would not be so depressed.

Outside was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, Tong Tong opened the door angrily, yo, it was as he wished, and it was indeed not good. Tong Tong subconsciously clenched his fists, ready to fight at any time.

That's right, the person who came was the "Red Autumn Pants", after so many days, he was still dressed like that, and the red autumn pants were still exposed in the ripped jeans.

Did he ignore him, he felt very angry, so he came to Tong's house in the middle of the night to make trouble?

Tong Tong's eyebrows twisted into a pimple, but Hongqiu Pants immediately said: "Don't be angry first, I sincerely apologize to you." ”

Tong Tong leaned against the door and sneered: "Are you afraid that I will sue you and show me in advance?" Don't worry, I don't have the energy to fight a lawsuit, and I won't embarrass you." ”

"You, why do you think so badly of people...... Alas, I don't know what to say, anyway, I'm not afraid that you will sue me, I did come to compensate you. ”

"I don't blame you for taking money to do things. It's just a word of advice to you, or don't act as a thug for others. If it really kills someone, it won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"You don't need to teach me this. Hongqiu pants said: "In addition to apologizing to you, I have one more thing I want to break with you, if I don't figure it out, I always have a pimple in my heart." ”

Tong Tong rubbed his temples, very tired: "What do you want to do? Do you want to fight with me again? Fight with me for 300 rounds and divide the winner?"

"Well, why do you have to talk like that? I just want to ask you, three years ago, did you go to the city sports school to compete?"

Tong Tong looked at the visitor carefully again and said, "Yes, how do you know? ”

"Ah! It turns out that it's really you! You really kicked the restaurant that day, and we discussed you for a long time!" Hongqiu said excitedly: "I really haven't fought with you, to be honest, the two people sent that day are above my strength, neither of them can beat you, and I am not your opponent." ”

Hearing the other party's unstingy praise, Tong Tong suddenly became embarrassed. Hongqiu pants were extremely excited, rubbed his hands and said: "Our coach said that your strength is really powerful, your movements are clean and neat, and your physical fitness is also very abundant, and you don't learn it in an ordinary interest class at first glance." We also wondered, you are so poor that you can't even pay for your living expenses, where can you find such a good coach?"

"It's over, my coach...... He's just an ordinary security guard. ”

“...... Really?"

"Well, you know that office building behind Powerlong Plaza, right? ”

Hongqiu pants blinked, it was obvious that he still needed a little time to digest such a story of "invisible masters in the city". And such a master can only be a security guard, he resonated even more, and the loss of Huai Cai suddenly came to his heart.

"Little brother, don't hide it, I didn't get a ranking in the Provincial Games, I didn't have any hope of going to university, and I couldn't find a suitable job after graduation, so I floated like this. I urgently need money, or I wouldn't have listened to Zhang Yaoyao's words. ”

Tong Tong asked curiously: "There are advertisements everywhere, how can you not find a job?"

"To put it mildly, these days, those who graduated from college can't find a job, and it's even more difficult for me to do this. Alas, at that time, I wanted to have a skill in sports, but I didn't expect it to be like this......"

He said sincerely, Tong Tong also said sincerely: "As long as you put down your body, how can you not find a job? There are so many taekwondo gyms, you can always apply for a coach, right? If you feel that your ability is limited, then you can study while working, and it is better to be tired than to be instructed to do something dishonorable. ”

At that time, the chubby policeman scolded Hongqiu pants sharply, saying that Tong Tong's prodigal son turned back and thought about college with all his heart, and if his future was ruined because of his injury, how unjust would it be! Hongqiu pants was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head, he wandered around the hospital for a few days, and saw with his own eyes how Tong Tong insisted on studying in the hospital bed. Now that he heard what Tong Tong said, he regretted it even more: "You're right, my original intention of learning taekwondo was not to fight, I should be like you, find a serious business student." ”

"Hey, don't take me as an example, I wasted too much time before, and now I don't know if I can make up for it. ”

"Anyway, I have to apologize to you first. That beer bottle must have hurt me that day, but you didn't do that and threw it away. I really regret it when I think about it...... I have to do something to feel better. ”

"No, I've said it all, I don't blame you. ”

"That's not good, I'm also a martial arts practitioner, and I also want to save face. ”

Tong Tong had an idea and proposed: "Do you have a job now? If not, can you go to the hospital to accompany my father? He will have to stay in the hospital for about a week, but I don't have much money, so I can only pay half of the money for your nurse." ”

"Hey, no, I don't want money...... If I beat you like this, I don't have the money to pay you. ”

"No, you still have to give what should be given. But I have to tell you in advance, my dad has a terrible cough and is contagious, do you dare to take care of him?"

"Dare, why don't you dare?" said Hongqiu Pants, "But I also have one condition, you have to promise me." ”

"On what terms?"

"When you're well, you can try it with me again, otherwise I'll never be convinced. ”

“...... Okay, I'll convince you. Your name is Gao Xiaobao, I remember you!"
