Because of the delay in going to the hospital, Tong Tong stayed at school for a while at night. Lao Tong had been sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and when he heard him coming back, he immediately jumped up and scolded: "It's all at this juncture, you can't tell the priorities." If you come back so late, if something happens to you on the road, you won't be able to take the test?"

"Isn't it nothing? Tong Tong yawned and said, "Uncle Niu is also my benefactor, I should always go to the hospital to see him." ”

"Even if you go, how can you help?"

Lao Tong muttered, and Tong Tong was already lying on the sofa asleep, and said in a daze: "Carp ......"

"What carp?"

"The carp during the Chinese New Year, you hung it again?"

"Hmm......" Lao Tong glanced at it and prevaricated: "It's auspicious, go to sleep." ”

Tong Tong was so tired that even if he could only sleep for a few hours, he smiled in his sleep and said "thank you" to his adoptive father in his heart.

On the way to school the next day, Geng Xiaoqing asked him about his whereabouts the day before, and only then did he learn what happened to Niu Changqing. She doesn't have a deep friendship with Lao Niu, so she is not as worried as Tong Tong, she comforted a few words without saltiness, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "The day after tomorrow is the college entrance examination, this day is finally here." ”

"As long as you play normally, you may become the first person in our school to be admitted to Peking University. ”

Geng Xiaoqing stared at him coldly.

Tong Tong hurriedly corrected: "It's not possible, it's necessary!"

Geng Xiaoqing smiled: "I was admitted to Peking University, and after leaving this rotten home, a beautiful life is beckoning to me! Rice bucket, come to Beijing with me! I don't want to float alone in Beijing, it's good to have you with me." ”

Tong Tong didn't talk to him, to be honest, if he was separated from Geng Xiaoqing, he would be very unaccustomed to it, after all, they had been together day and night for sixteen years, and the difficult living environment made them closer than their brothers and sisters. But he wanted to go to Shanghai, because he found out that Mr. Meng was preparing to take the postgraduate examination at Fudan.

"Rice bucket, why don't you speak? Do you have other plans?"

Tong Tong patted her on the shoulder: "Let's see where I can get in." ”

By the time of the college entrance examination, Tong Tong had become a model of "the prodigal son turned back", inspired by him, and several classmates also caught up, but the teacher was so happy that he shouted in the office every day, this year's college entrance examination has a play, I am afraid that the rate will hit a record high. Teacher Meng is also very pleased, she hopes that Tong Tong can get good grades in the exam more than anyone else, she has too many things she wants to share with him, including his life experience and his wishes.

More importantly, she wanted to tell him that when he grew up, she would have to seriously consider his wishes.

The night before the college entrance examination, there was no need to study at night, so the students cheered each other on and went home. Teacher Meng hesitated, and finally stopped Tong Tong at the last moment: "Tong Tong, wait a minute, I have something for you." ”

"What?"

Teacher Meng motioned for him to go to the stairwell, and only the two of them were left, and she took out a brand new pencil case from her bag, dark blue canvas leather, with four vigorous and powerful characters printed on it—the title of the gold list. When I opened the pencil case, there were four brand new gel pens, two sharpened 2B pencils, pencil sharpeners, rulers and other necessary stationery for the exam.

"This is what I ordered for a friend, I don't know what to send you, and I don't know ...... you."

"I like it very much!" Tong Tong's smile was brighter than the sunshine in June: "If I bring this pencil case for the college entrance examination, I will definitely be named on the gold list!"

Teacher Meng rubbed his hands and said as calmly as possible: "I am considering that your situation is special, and there is no parent to help you prepare, such a big exam, you don't want to lose everything, so as a teacher, I should ......."

"Okay, I don't need to explain, anyway, the fact is that you gave me a pencil case and a full set of college entrance examination stationery, isn't it?" Tong Tong was happy like a little fool: "The rest is not important, anyway, I will definitely use it well." ”

"Hmm. Officer Niu was in a car accident, I really want to wait until after the college entrance examination to tell you, the thoughts of adults are all for your sake. I don't want this to affect your grades......"

"I know. Tong Tong said: "I know your thoughts, so try not to think about it." ”

"That's good, you should go home quickly! Don't review too late tonight, your diet must be light, don't eat fruits such as watermelon, ensure sleep, ensure gastrointestinal health, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Tong Tong agreed, still showing two rows of big white teeth: "You have fucked me so much, I remember everything you said." You can rest assured, I will definitely take the college entrance examination in the best condition. ”

Bidding farewell to Teacher Meng, Tong Tong happily embarked on the way home. He still only sings old songs such as "Sad Pacific", but the originally sad songs are also interpreted by him very cheerfully. When he was almost in the urban village, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something to be done. Looking back, I forgot about Geng Xiaoqing!

At that moment, my whole body was covered in cold sweat.

I didn't ask Gao Xiaobao today, in case Geng Qiuyun was waiting for today, wouldn't Geng Xiaoqing be very dangerous?

He was just about to return the same way, but he heard a cold snort in front of him, he turned around and saw Geng Xiaoqing, and the muscles in his body finally relaxed.

"It seems that you still have me in your heart!"

"Of course there is!" Tong Tong reproached: "You can't wait for me? ”

"This is real broad daylight, Geng Qiuyun definitely doesn't dare to kill me at this time. ”

Geng Xiaoqing looked indifferent, as if her biological father wanted to kill someone else. In her words, after ten years of worrying, she was finally going to face him face-to-face, and she was a little more relaxed. "Rice bucket, if he really wants to kill me, then let him kill him, and then you help me call the police, let the police arrest him, and stay in it for another twenty years! ”

"Don't say stupid things, he is a murderer after all, if he really poisons you, then I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Geng Xiaoqing smiled bitterly: "Do you really care about me so much?"

"Of course. ”

"Am I important, or is Teacher Meng important?"

Tong Tong figured out her rules, so he blushed and perfunctory: "Of course you are important, we have been together for more than ten years!"

Geng Xiaoqing's heart was overjoyed, and when she returned home, she overbearingly opened Tong Tong's schoolbag and snatched the pencil case of "Success", Tong Tong asked him not to make trouble with a cold face, but Geng Xiaoqing said aggrievedly: "Although I am not as rich as Teacher Meng, I have also prepared a gift for you." Oh, this is a gel pen I bought, can't you answer the questions with it?"

“...... Whose is it different?"

"It's just different! Tong Tong, don't you look down on the gift I prepared? Is it that compared to what Teacher Meng gave, mine is very shabby?"

Tong Tong had a headache and asked her to put down her pencil case. Geng Xiaoqing was angry and threw the pencil case out of the window. Tong Tong stomped her feet angrily and scolded her for being unreasonable. He ran quickly to the yard to pick up a pencil case, only to find a man standing in the doorway.

The man was thin, with long hair and an elongated shadow, so strange that he didn't look like a human.

With the distant memories of his childhood, Tong Tong recognized him, he was Geng Xiaoqing's father Geng Qiuyun. Afraid of something, Tong Tong clenched his pencil case tightly and shouted to cheer for himself: "Who are you? What are you standing there for?"

Geng Xiaoqing noticed something, and no longer had the courage he had when he was out of school, so he immediately cried and hid in Tong Tong's room. Not to mention being stabbed by her father, even when she met him, she tried to avoid it.

Every time Geng Qiuyun took a step forward, Tong Tong took a step back accordingly. If there was no college entrance examination, he would not be so afraid, but when he thought of tomorrow's college entrance examination, he had more worries. Even so, he still stubbornly shouted: "This is my house, don't come in." ”

The smell of alcohol wafted in the air, presumably Geng Qiuyun had drunk too much to come here. He smiled grimly, and said indistinctly, "Are you the wild child you picked up?

Tong Tong had the courage to get close to him: "...... Uncle Geng, it's getting late, go back to your own house!"

"My own wife, my wife has run away, and my daughter lives in someone else's house, where do I have a home?" Geng Qiuyun staggered, burping, and it was even more stinky. He shouted at the back room regardless of it: "Xiaoqing! your old man is here, don't you even say hello?"

Tong Tong stood in front of him: "Uncle Geng, you go home first to sober up, and I'll send Xiaoqing back later." ”

Geng Qiuyun stared at Tong Tong suddenly, his dilated pupils were very terrifying. He pointed at Tong Tong's forehead with his right index finger and smiled contemptuously: "Which onion are you? Hmm?! At such a young age, you are not ashamed to take other people's daughters home! You have ruined the reputation of others! Get out!"

He flicked his hand, Tong Tong fell to the ground, he was so angry that his eyes erupted fire, he stood up suddenly, and was just about to return the one just now, but an old voice sounded behind him: "Tong Tong, you get ready to sleep first! I'll talk to your Uncle Geng." ”

It was actually Lao Tong, Lao Tong walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Lao Geng, are you back?"

Geng Qiuyun laughed: "Old Tong, are you old like this bear? I don't even recognize you." ”

"Don't talk about me, you're also half-hearted. Lao Tong was carrying a bottle of Gangcheng Laojiao in his arms and invited: "I haven't drunk with you for a long time, since you are here tonight, let's have a drink?"

Geng Qiuyun's drunken eyes were hazy: "I've already drunk it, I'm here to find my daughter to go home." Xiaoqing!

Tong Tong was still angry with Geng Xiaoqing, and was worried that Geng Qiuyun was really going to kill her, but Lao Tong pushed him away, blocked the front, and laughed: "Let's go, Lao Geng, I haven't drunk with you for many years, so I'm thinking about having a drink with you." The kids have exams tomorrow, so what's the point of talking to them?"

Geng Qiuyun's eyes were red and swaying, as if he was going to kill someone in the next second. Lao Tong grabbed his arm and pulled him out: "I have treasured this bottle of Laojiao for several years, just waiting for you to come back and drink it together." Your house is clean enough, let's go, go to your house. ”

Geng Qiuyun was full of ruthlessness, but he was carried out by Lao Tong. He glanced back blankly and saw Tong Tong with a frown. Tong Tong didn't look at him, his eyes were all focused on his adoptive father. Lao Tong is thinner than Geng Qiuyun, and his back can't be straightened due to his perennial cough. He struggled to walk by himself, and he dragged Geng Qiuyun with him, and he didn't know where his strength came from.

He was just a sickly, weak, and cowardly middle-aged man, but Tong Tong felt that he was superhuman for the first time.

He remembered Zhu Ziqing's "Back", he also had an ordinary father, and in his father's old and faltering back, he hid a deep love for him.

Tong Tong raised his arm, wiped his eyes, and called out for the first time: "Dad......"

Lao Tong trembled.

"Dad, you can drink it at home, it won't affect us. ”

Lao Tong turned his head and saw for the first time that his adopted son's eyes were full of worry, but he smiled with relief: "You don't have to worry about me, go back and sleep well, I'll come back early tomorrow morning to cook for you and send you to the exam room." ”

The more Tong Tong wiped, the more tears he had: "That ......"

"Go to sleep! Raise your spirits! Don't you see that fish? I'm hanging for you, you have to jump over the dragon gate!"
