Tong Tong's knot with his adoptive father cannot be untied by this mere 1,000 yuan. That night, Lao Tong thought that maybe Tong Tong's fall had something to do with him.

It was 2008, and the aftermath of the Olympics had not yet dissipated, and the 15th middle school had opened. Among the new students who registered, Tong Tong was very eye-catching, because he was very tall and strong, and other parents thought he was a sports student, so he shook his head innocently: "No, I'm an ordinary student." ”

Ordinary students were assigned to ordinary classes and lived an ordinary high school life. Lao Tong doesn't care where he goes, as long as he doesn't cause trouble. Until one day, he received a call from his mother, and Grandma Tong cried again: "His score is enough to go to the second middle school, but our family has no money and can't afford to pay the 5,000 yuan school choice fee." I always regret it, will this delay him for the rest of his life?"

"Why don't you say it, because you don't have money, delay me for the rest of my life?"

One sentence made Grandma Tong's chest ache suddenly.

Lao Tong continued to vent his dissatisfaction: "How many tears have you shed for this wild child you picked up? You always say that you will delay him, where is the delay? Is it okay to raise him? Is it that he made a request and wants to go to the second middle school?"

Grandma Tong was afraid that he would misunderstand Tong Tong, so she hurriedly defended: "No, it was his master who said it, let's find a way to transfer him to the second middle school, he said that he still has to go to a good school if he has a chance." Where does Tong Tong know this? He has already reported to the 15th Middle School. ”

If you go to No. 2 Middle School, you have to pay 5,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for Lao Tong, he will never pay this money, and he can't afford it. After hanging up, he forgot about it. He didn't want to receive any calls about Tong Tong, although that kid was still motivated, but he had fought several times, and people asked for medical expenses, and he didn't want to pay that money.

Tong Tong was very sorry because he didn't go to the second middle school, but since he went to the fifteenth middle school, he should study hard! Tong Tong thought so at first, but the first time he took English class, the teacher gave him a dismissal.

The teacher's surname was Shen, he was about forty years old, slightly chubby, wearing glasses, and his appearance was not good. In the first class, she told her students that she had summarized more than ten years of teaching experience and made a "secret book". She pushed her eyes, tilted her neck, and said, "You can not buy it, but you have to use it in class, no matter what, don't delay my class." ”

Thirty yuan for a "cheatbook" is not too expensive, but it is definitely not cheap. The students complained about it, but most of them obediently paid for it. Even if she didn't buy it at the time, after she urged it a few times in disguise, those students had no choice but to pay for it.

But Tong Tong just didn't buy it.

What can be saved by saving a few meals, what is the money for a few packs of cigarettes from parents, what is not to study even if you are hungry, and what is shameless is not to like to study...... Wait a minute. No matter how sarcastic and sarcastic Mr. Shen is, Tong Tong is as stable as Mount Tai.

Probably he was the only one left in the class who didn't buy it! Teacher Shen finally yelled at him in class: "Tong Tong, you don't plan to listen to my class, do you?"

"No, don't I listen well?"

"If you don't buy the English notes, what will you listen to?"

"I borrowed it from my classmates, and I can't copy it down?"

Teacher Shen immediately pursed his lips and said to the class: "Have you seen such a person who can take advantage of a small advantage? You paid for it, he used it for free, I see which fool is willing to lend it to him." ”

The class was silent.

Tong Tong took the case: "They buy English materials, I buy materials of other subjects, and I borrow each other to read them, how can it become a small advantage?"

"You've learned to talk back?Who made you talk to your teacher like that??!"

Tong Tong thought that she was angry, and this matter passed, but who knew that this was the beginning of his ordeal. When she praised some of her classmates, she would always deliberately glance at Tong Tong, and then sarcastically said: "Those who don't even buy study materials must have no interest, why are they still sitting in the classroom?

Tong Tong had good grades in English, but under her deliberate suppression, her dislike for English increased day by day. But he endured it silently, he didn't want to have a conflict with the teacher.

But some conflicts are not something he can avoid if he wants to, one day in early winter, Lao Zeng died, Tong Tong was so grief-stricken that he took a few days off from school to send him on his last journey.

After Lao Zeng was buried, Tong Tong was driven back to school by his grandmother. Tong Tong remembered the class schedule, so he went back just in time for English class. He was stunned from the bottom of his heart, but his grandmother was angry, so he obediently put his schoolbag on his back and went to school.

Tong Tong shouted the report, and Teacher Shen was writing on the board, glanced at Tong Tong, ignored him, and continued to lecture. Tong Tong was very angry and shouted louder, and Teacher Shen looked at him at this time, and he didn't smile: "This lesson is only halfway through, why did you come so soon?"

“...... My master passed away, and I took a leave of absence. ”

"Master?" Teacher Shen lazily lay on the table: "What a chic title." ”

Tong Tong really wanted to fly up and let her fly out of the window. But thinking of the deceased master, he endured and endured.

Teacher Shen continued to roll his eyes at him: "Since your master's funeral is so important, you should go to the funeral! What are you doing in class? ”

"I repeat, I'm done taking a leave of absence, and now that the funeral is over, I'm back to class, what's the problem?"

Teacher Shen coldly threw a piece of chalk at him, shouting so loudly that his voice was broken: "Uneducated thing! Who told you to talk like that? Get out, you won't be allowed to go to my class in the future!"

Tong Tong will always remember the day when he was kicked out of the classroom by a hideous teacher in full view of everyone. The sky was terribly overcast, like a heavy snow brewing, and the cold wind in the corridor made him shiver.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably, I don't know if it was because of sadness or anger. He wiped away a handful of tears with the back of his hand and went straight to the phone booth. He wanted to call Master, but as soon as he dialed the familiar phone number, he suddenly remembered that the other person was no longer there.

The cold wind swept the dead branches and leaves, and the phone booth crackled, Tong Tong was unwilling and called his adoptive father again. Lao Tong asked angrily: "What's the matter? Troublesome? Or is there a lack of money?"

"I was kicked out of the classroom by the teacher. ”

“...... How dare you mess with the teacher?"

"I didn't mess with her! Just because I didn't buy her English notes, she put little shoes on me everywhere! Can you come over? I ......."

Although he cried heavily, Tong Tong swallowed "I need you" back into his stomach, and just held the earpiece and whimpered.

Lao Tong told him: "Where can I turn my face with the teacher? I don't have time, you hurry up and apologize to the teacher." ”

"I'm not wrong! Why didn't she let me into the classroom? I want to get justice for myself!"

That's a teacher, people are wrong in a thousand ways, and that's for your good. ”

That was the only time Tong Tong asked his adoptive father for help, but Lao Tong used his self-righteous rules of survival - cowardice and apology, and used his indifference to push Tong Tong away.

A fifteen-year-old child, alone with a teacher who is many times stronger than him, and no family member can support him. He sat alone on the cold street, crying again and again, not wanting to be seen.

But Tong Tong just refused to give in, and every time Teacher Shen was in class in the future, he would stand in the corridor and let people come and go to see how he was bullied by the teacher. That Teacher Shen had never encountered such a difficult student, and he was so angry that he had a headache, and he couldn't do anything about him.

Later, Lao Fan couldn't stand it anymore, although he was reluctant to meddle in this matter and didn't want to make a big fuss with his colleagues, but he felt that Tong Tong was really pitiful, so he discussed with Tong Tong's head teacher and transferred him to his class. Since then, Mr. Shen has often sarcastically mocked Lao Fan: "Yo, you are really the embodiment of justice!"

Tong Tong was stubborn and just thanked him flatly, but he was very grateful to Lao Fan. At that time, Geng Xiaoqing also came back from the south and inserted himself into Lao Fan's class, and the two began to be inseparable again.

These past events were told to Teacher Meng by Lao Fan, Teacher Meng was very distressed when she heard it, and it happened that she was in the same office with Teacher Shen, and Teacher Shen also said in a weird manner: "Xiao Meng, I see that you are very interested in Tong Tong, you don't have other thoughts about him, right? ”

"Excuse me, who are the teachers?"

"......" Teacher Shen looked around, and the other teachers hurriedly lowered their heads, but they didn't want to be named by her.

Teacher Shen sneered: "No matter what you hear from other teachers, anyway, you will know after a long time of contact, I really have never seen such a stubborn student, and I am not polite, I am simply angry!"

Teacher Meng was furious, but smiled: "The other teachers didn't tell me how Tong Tong was, but let me learn from you." ”

"Ouch, you're too modest, what can you learn from me?"

"Sum up the experience!" Teacher Meng still smiled and said, "I heard that the notes you summarized are selling very well every year, and the class you teach must be among the best, right?"

The muscles on Mr. Shen's face twitched strangely twice.

"Teacher Shen, when I have time, I will ask you for experience, and please give me advice!"

Teacher Shen's face was full of black lines, and Teacher Meng left suddenly, she met Tong Tong at the door, Tong Tong muttered for a long time, and said, "Thank you." ”

Teacher Meng was very strange: "Thank you for what?"

"Mocked Teacher Shen in public and avenged me. ”

His expression was still immature and straightforward, and Teacher Meng shook his head with a smile: "There is no such thing, the teachers are very harmonious." Just study hard!"

Tong Tong agreed, ran upstairs like a fly, looked at his back, and didn't know how happy he was. Teacher Meng looked at him lovingly, thinking to himself, that Teacher Shen is hateful, but Lao Tong also has a lot of responsibility. She remembered that not very pleasant call, it turned out that Lao Tong's indifference to his adopted son was consistent.

Teacher Meng dialed Lao Tong's phone again, and it is estimated that Lao Tong's head is also big - why is this woman so persistent?

He said angrily: "I gave him the living expenses, and let him study hard, what other instructions do you have?"

"Father Tong, you don't care enough about Tong Tong. ”

“......”

"Don't talk about picking it up, he loves to get into trouble, you can't care about things like that. If that's the case, then why didn't you send Grandma Tong away when he died?"

“......”

"Father Tong, I believe you are kind, otherwise you wouldn't have supported him for many years. It's just that Tong Tong is learning to be a good student, and you are learning to be a father, both of you are not proficient, so you need to practice more. ”

Lao Tong held the phone and was speechless.

"Dad Tong, are you interested in learning about a recent essay written by Tong Tong? I'll read you the last paragraph. ”

You say. ”

"'I don't know what it's like to be taken care of, it must be warm, right?' so my biggest wish is not to get sick. Because it costs money to be sick, and most importantly, I miss my mom and dad very much'. ”
