Tong Tong's face was hot, he covered the half of his face, and Teacher Meng frowned, pulling him to find the policeman to theorize. But Tong Tong shook his head vigorously: "Teacher, I don't hurt, don't look for trouble." ”

"I really can't swallow this breath when I hit my student. I really don't have to be angry for you?"

"No, I don't. Tong Tong hadn't heard such warm words for a long time, and he smiled innocently: "He is also good to me." ”

Teacher Meng said that the reason why she was so strict was to show Zhang Yaoyao and the gang. "You know, there are some people we can't afford to mess with, so we have to provoke them as little as possible. I criticize you, and when they are relieved, they will not kill you completely. ”

Tong Tong nodded: "Maybe the policeman who beat me thought the same way." ”

Teacher Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I know that you are right, I still want to criticize you, do you know why?"

Tong Tong shook his head honestly.

......

Teacher Meng still frowned: "A good student generally has to think before answering, and it is very important to learn to think." ”

Tong Tong just wanted to say that he was not a good student, but he felt that this answer was still brainless, so he said: "I don't know how to think. ”

Teacher Meng put away his pleasant face, stopped looking at him, and said coldly: "From here to the next traffic light, it is about two hundred meters. Having traveled this distance, you think about everything you have done today. ”

The next traffic light was a time bomb, and Tong Tong was rarely flustered, and his mind went blank. When I arrived, I still couldn't think of anything, so I had to say randomly: "Anyway, I just shouldn't do it." ”

Seeing that he was so nervous that he was at a loss, Teacher Meng couldn't help but smile.

She laughed, and the rain all over the world stopped.

"Tong Tong, you must be organized in your words and deeds, it is best to say, first, second, or first, second...... It's a process you think about, and the other person sounds more comfortable, understand?"

Tong Tong nodded ignorantly, not knowing when this preaching would end. The teachers are really nagging, and the beautiful teachers are no exception.

"Then I'll tell you again. First, you shouldn't skip class, second, you shouldn't do it, and third, you really ...... You shouldn't get too close to a female classmate. Forget it, the first and second are really wrong, and the third, I don't know the situation yet, so let's talk about it later! By the way, you haven't eaten at night, have you? There is a beef noodle restaurant near here that is particularly delicious, do you want to try it together?"

Tong Tong nodded mechanically, walked a few steps, and suddenly thought again: "Geng Xiaoqing didn't eat either." ”

"I have already called her mother, and Geng Xiaoqing has come home. ”

The safety of students is not a trivial matter, and being a teacher is a real concern. But what can Geng Xiaoqing do when she goes home? At this time, her mother doesn't have time to cook for her, and she will probably have to eat instant noodles again. He eats delicious food, Geng Xiaoqing can't eat it, he doesn't have a taste in his heart.

The name of the noodle restaurant is "Reunion", Tong Tong looked up for a while, and Teacher Meng said for him: "How is it?

"Well, everywhere else is Lanzhou ramen, what kind of noodle restaurant like Master Song and Master Li...... Why is this called 'reunion'?"

"Probably...... Is it the boss waiting to reunite with someone? Don't think about it, let's eat!"

The beef noodles were served, and Mr. Meng blew a few times and ate a big bite. That noodle is very common, it is the most common beef noodle, and the beef is not very tasty, and the quantity is not much. Tong Tong became restrained, although he was very hungry, he ate very gently.

Teacher Meng didn't persuade him to eat quickly, but asked curiously, "Your name is quite nice, but I thought you were a girl at first." ”

"Ah......" Tong Tong wiped his hands nervously: "My grandmother picked me up on the second day of Children's Day, her surname is Tong, so she named me 'Tong Tong'." ”

......

There was too much information in one sentence, and Mr. Meng obviously didn't keep up. She digested it for a while before asking, "How did your grandmother pick you up?"

Tong Tong shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, Xiaoqing found me in a pile of cardboard boxes, and then I was taken home by my grandmother." ”

"It's not a good question, but ...... Are you trafficked, are you lost, are you ......?"

Teacher Meng asked very tactfully, Tong Tong didn't care, he took a bite of noodles and said: "I forgot, I was too young at that time, I remember hiding in a pile of cardboard boxes for a long time, if it wasn't for Xiaoqing pulling me out, I would have died inside." ”

"That's why you're so close to Geng Xiaoqing?"

"Well, she's my neighbor and my savior. Tong Tong's eyes lit up: "Her name is also very easy to remember, she was born on the second day of the National Day." Her mother said that the National Day is a big celebration, and her birth is Xiaoqing, so it is called Geng Xiaoqing. All the teachers said that Geng Xiaoqing was the smartest student they had ever met. If her family had been better, she would have become a well-known prodigy in the country. ”

When Mr. Meng first arrived, he didn't know how these two people grew up in a barren and complex environment. She also didn't know that Tong Tong had never had a Children's Day, and Geng Xiaoqing's birth was not something to celebrate. Both lives unexpectedly befell that barren urban village, and they depended on each other for their lives.

After chatting, Tong Tong let go, and the speed of eating noodles became faster. After his grandmother died, he hadn't eaten so well for a long time. Teacher Meng looked at him very gently, but he gave him a long full burp at an inopportune time. He looked confused, but Teacher Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, you eat well, and I'm very happy." Go out for a walk and I'll send you home. ”

"No, where is the reason for a woman to send a man home?"

Woman...... Man......

Teacher Meng smiled and bent over: "I am a teacher, you are a student, I have to make sure that you arrive home safely, this is my duty." Let's go!"

Teacher Meng must not know that Tong Tong's taekwondo level is almost invincible in Hong Kong City. Tong Tong just wanted to show it, but Teacher Meng took him into a store. Tong Tong thought she was going to buy something, but she said, "Are there any sneakers suitable for high school students?" Yes, he wears them, which should be sturdy and dirt-resistant. ”

Tong Tong hurriedly excused himself, but Teacher Meng said: "I lent it to you, and when you make money in the future, you will pay me back with the first month's salary." ”

Tong Tong's face was greatly challenged, and he wanted to refuse, but Teacher Meng said: "I didn't want to buy it for you, but I really can't stand it, your shoes are about to be unprecedented!"

"Unprecedented, where are my shoes so expensive......"

......

Teacher Meng smiled again and explained to him: "Mr. Wang Zengqi once wrote in an essay that during the period of Southwest Associated University, teachers and students had a very hard time.

Who is Wang Zengqi and what kind of university is Southwest Associated University?

Tong Tong didn't know, so he had to pretend to have a sudden realization. Only then did he realize that the fashionable and beautiful Teacher Meng actually exuded a smell of books all over his body. Although Geng Xiaoqing's grades are very good, she doesn't have that breath on her.

Teacher Meng couldn't help but say that it cost him about five or six hundred to buy a pair of shoes. In the eyes of high school student Tong Tong, that is definitely a huge amount of money. Teacher Meng stuffed his shoes into his hand and said, "Remember, I will pay back the first month's salary, and I will charge interest." ”

Tong Tong blushed and passively took it. Teacher Meng saw through his self-esteem, and said with a smile: "When you write essays, don't you all say that a kind teacher is like a mother or a sister? I am about four or five years older than you, and when you leave school, you will treat me as a sister! When you have the ability, you will repay me!"

Sister?

It's a nice name, but it's also an unattainable title.

Teacher Meng patted him on the shoulder: "Tong Tong, you are still young, it must be very hard to live alone, right? ”

For the first time since he was born, someone finally asked him if he was having a hard time.

"I'll ask you tomorrow and order two bigger uniforms for you. You're growing up too fast, and you can't fit in such a big school uniform!" Teacher Meng slapped him a few more times: "Even if it's hard, the school uniform must be changed on time, don't wear dirty." Hair should be trimmed and beards should be shaved! The best way to live a good life alone is to be strong. Remember?"

Tong Tong nodded like a chicken pecking rice. In front of Teacher Meng, he was very embarrassed. He suddenly felt that if he dressed neatly and neatly, would Mr. Meng like him more?

He does have self-esteem, but he does not reject Teacher Meng's help to him. It's just that he can't understand why the corners of his eyes are sour.

"Ah, the rain has stopped, let's go home quickly!"

Tong Tong's home is in a squalid urban village, a low-rise bungalow that has been forgotten by all developers, even though it has been almost developed in all directions. Walking in the dark and cramped alley, Tong Tong thought to himself that he should let Teacher Meng come into the house to sit. But the house is too shabby, dirty and messy, and it will definitely leave a bad impression on her.

Then next time!

Back at home, he made a rare move to tidy up his room and threw his dirty laundry into the laundry tub. The Xiaoice box is the only electrical appliance in the house besides the TV, and it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and the ingredients inside probably stink! Tong Tong just opened the refrigerator, but froze.

In the fresh-keeping layer there are fresh apples and pears, two large packets of instant noodles and two versions of yogurt, and in the freezer layer there are two large packets of quick-frozen dumplings, one with celery and pork filling, and the other with three fresh fillings.

Tong Tong closed the refrigerator door and dialed a phone number.

"What's the matter again? What trouble are you causing again? Stinky boy, if you make trouble for Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will break your legs!"

There was a rough voice on the other end of the phone, but Tong Tong didn't mind at all, he asked, "Did you fill the refrigerator?"

"I shouldn't have brought you food! I'm just a white-eyed wolf! I can't do anything but get into trouble. I should starve you to death, so that Lao Tzu can be pure!"

He said it ugly, but Tong Tong felt extremely warm. He said: "Don't send it anymore, beware of Aunt Hu making trouble for you, saying that you are hiding private money." ”

"She asked me to send it. By the way, does your face still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

"You have rough skin and thick flesh, and it doesn't hurt. Don't force it, Lao Tzu is out of the scene. ”

......

A warm current flowed through the body.

After hanging up the phone, Tong Tong changed the name of the contact person from "Officer Niu" to "Uncle Niu".

He lay on the bed, recalling an unforgettable day, remembering Teacher Meng, and remembering his grandmother's advice before she died. Despite falling apart, he bounced out of bed and walked to the cramped bathroom.

He was looked down upon, but he also wanted to be strong. Teacher Meng is right, the best way to be strong is to live a good life alone.

The razor has been useless for days, and the beard is indeed a little long. He shaved his beard carefully, looked at his childish self in the mirror, and remembered what his grandmother had said.

"I have to change my underwear every two or three days, go to the bathhouse in Lunan every week to take a bath, cut my hair in time when it grows, and wash my school uniform every week...... The refrigerator should be cleaned in time and do not eat expired things...... If you have a cold or fever or diarrhea, there is medicine in the TV cabinet...... This is what your grandmother taught you, you have to live a good life alone, don't make people laugh. ”

After the grandmother explained this, she held his hand again and said intermittently: "Tongtong, grandma is leaving, and I don't want to suffer any more." ”

Tong Tong shook his head frantically, and also clenched his grandmother's hand, tears falling down: "Grandma, don't you just have a small operation? You will get better, you still have to watch me marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Grandma didn't have the strength to speak, closed her eyes, and waited for the last moment to come.

No one told him that minor surgeries could also go wrong and that "medical malpractice" could be prosecuted. Even if he makes a fuss in the hospital, he can get some justice for his grandmother.

But grandma is a very kind old man, and in that dirty alley, she is the most respectable person. Tong Tong promised his grandmother that he would not fight anymore and would not lose his temper, so as not to be called uneducated. So, he watched his grandmother's life come to an end, and no one paid attention to his hoarse cries.

That's the summer vacation, and it's been two months. On the night he met Mr. Meng, he remembered his grandmother's last words again.

Tong Tong held on to the sink, and tears fell down one by one.

He promised his grandmother and Mr. Meng. A person should also live well.
