Volume 1 Chapter 8

Tong Tong actually started to practice calligraphy!

Teachers are amazed as if they had discovered a new continent and will be amazed as soon as they return to the office. Tong Tong, who used to sleep in class, actually copied the calligraphy in a serious way. Another teacher said that Tong Tong used to sleep too much, and after he started practicing calligraphy, his face finally left the table, and she saw what he looked like.

"He still seems to be a handsome guy, no wonder there are always girls handing him notes. The teacher commented.

Teacher Meng was also a little surprised, when she gave him the calligraphy, she just wanted to do her part, but she didn't expect Tong Tong to really practice calligraphy. In the mouths of the teachers, he seems to have become a gangster who has converged his edge, and now he has cultivated his mind by practicing calligraphy.

Teacher Meng really wanted to talk to him, and she had a lot to say to him about meeting him in the tutorial class that day. But she was so busy, there were so many students that she had to worry about, and she had to ask other teachers for advice on her senior year experience, and she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and her voice was always dumb.

Teacher Meng is busy, but she always has one thing in mind, that is, Tong Tong's life experience. She contacted the police officer Niu and heard that she was Tong Tong's homeroom teacher, and Niu Changqing was very enthusiastic about her. But as soon as she heard that she wanted to find Tong Tong's biological parents, Niu Changqing immediately waved his hand: "It's impossible, I've been looking for more than ten years." ”

Teacher Meng believes that what he said is true, but what about his ability...... Anyway, there is a sentence that Mr. Meng still believes very much - hard work does not mean doing well. Officer Niu did work like a cow, but he really didn't achieve anything.

Teacher Meng secretly made up her mind that she would save the students who had been given up by other teachers, and she would do what Chief Niu couldn't do.

Tong Tong practiced quietly for several days, and he was also indifferent to Teacher Meng, not as eager as before. And Geng Xiaoqing finally got her wish and went to the tutoring class to tutor, she spent the money given by Tong Tong with peace of mind, and ran wildly on the road to chasing her dreams. The news spread quickly, and Mr. Meng soon found out. On the day of the break in the 15th middle school, Geng Xiaoqing went to tutor after class, while Tong Tong stayed in the classroom and cleaned up for her.

Teacher Meng kept walking around and directing the students to clean up. It was already cold, and she wore a white cardigan with a light gray woolen skirt. Her hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, and her black leather shoes were shiny.

Many girls were secretly talking about her outfits, but Teacher Meng turned a deaf ear and just checked her hygiene very carefully. A boy said mischievously: "Teacher Meng, you are dressed like a fairy, it's dusty here, don't stain your clothes, you better go back to the office and stay!"

Teacher Meng frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "I'm not here to supervise, can you clean up?"

"This ...... School hygiene, just do it. ”

"That's not good, don't put the word 'whatever' in front of me in the future. Teacher Meng put his hands behind his back and said with a glance: "Our class has fallen behind in all aspects, and we can always do a good job of hygiene, right?

The student didn't speak again, but kicked the wastebasket in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Anyway, everything counts down, what's the use of sweeping it clean?"

As soon as the classmate finished muttering, he looked up and saw Tong Tong, who was holding a wet mop with a black face in the middle of the corridor, looking from a distance, like a pestle with a big knife, facing Guan Erye, who was facing thousands of troops.

"If you want to clean it, clean it, where is all this nonsense?"

Although Tong Tong had already retired from the rivers and lakes, his momentum was still there, and his classmates immediately lowered their heads, no longer dared to say anything more, hurriedly picked up the trash can, and walked away.

His classmates were talking about him in private, saying that he was Teacher Meng's pet dog, not only revolving around her all day long, but also obeying her. Tong Tong is not unaware of these voices, but classmates don't say it in front of him.

Tong Tong admitted that he was indeed full of affection for Teacher Meng at the beginning, but now, he can't tell what kind of feelings he has for her. He always met her in the most embarrassing moments, and she always looked like a fairy with ease, which made him feel awkward. If it were reversed, even if there was a huge difference in family background, he would pursue her without scruples. But now he has no money, no ability, and is several years younger than her, so he can only be a younger brother in front of her.

Thinking of this, Tong Tong was slightly depressed, put away the tools in his hand, and went to the Internet café with a few friends. Teacher Meng dangled in front of the classroom with her hands behind her back. When passing by her, Tong Tong said hello hastily, but Teacher Meng stopped him.

"Tong Tong, it is written on the duty list, you are not on duty today, are you cleaning for Geng Xiaoqing?"

"Hmm......"

Teacher Meng was very displeased: "Where did she go? This is not the first time you have cleaned for her, right?"

"Hmm......"

"When she goes to college, you clean for her? Are you her servant? When she reaches the pinnacle of life, you clean for her for the rest of her life?"

Tong Tong never expected that "helping classmates" would also become a reason for being criticized. Under the gaze of several fox friends and dogs, he touched his head and said uncomfortably: "She went to the tutoring class, and it just so happened that I was fine......"

"It's important for her to study, but isn't it important for yours?"

It's not good, Mr. Meng picked up his arm. As soon as the teacher makes this action, it means that a storm is coming. In the past, Tong Tong was not afraid of the teacher's criticism, and he could even gag with the teacher in between criticisms, but when Mr. Meng got angry, he actually grabbed the seam of his pants nervously.

Teacher Meng didn't let him go, and was still very stern: "Tong Tong, answer me, Geng Xiaoqing wants to take the college entrance examination, don't you need to take the college entrance examination?"

"I can't pass the exam anyway. ”

After going to high school, Tong Tong met a teacher who ridiculed him from time to time, gave up his studies in a fit of anger, and took revenge. How can a student like him be admitted to university? Doesn't Teacher Meng know about this situation? He has to ask it to embarrass him in public.

"Tong Tong, come with me to the office - who made you stand like this in front of the teacher?

Tong Tong put his hands in his pockets, his face was full of rebelliousness, in fact, he didn't mean to be so cool, but in front of Teacher Meng's majesty, he was so stunned that he stiffened. Although he was very faceless in front of his classmates, he still unconsciously withdrew his hands and tried to stand like a good student. Then, in full view of everyone, he obediently followed Mr. Meng to the office.

There were just two of them in the office, and the air pressure was low. Teacher Meng sat on the chair angrily, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You just gave up on yourself?"

“......”

"You still don't have any plans for the future?"

“......”

"You grew up in a hostile environment, are you going to let your children live in that environment as well?"

Tong Tong was expressionless: "I will not have a future, and I will not have children in the future." Even if he had a child, he would probably be like me, and nothing would change. ”

"I ask you, can you predict what will happen at the age of five at the age of ten? Can you predict the age of twenty at the age of ten? How old are you? How do you know that you have no future? Why do you have to put on a picture of seeing life through when you are only a teenager?"

Tong Tong was speechless for a while, and said arrogantly: "Anyway, that's how it is to live!"

Teacher Meng said helplessly: "Why are you so pessimistic?"

Tong Tong didn't speak. Since he was a child, he has been exposed to too many tragedies - Lao Zeng kindly taught him taekwondo, but he was angry to death; Lao Tong worked honestly, but he didn't even have a formal job; Grandma Tong was hardworking and kind, and an ordinary minor operation killed her.

Teacher Meng may have thought of this, she paused for a while, and then said: "Tong Tong, in such a difficult environment, you can practice taekwondo well, I thought you were competitive and able to endure hardships, you should not be willing to live like this for the rest of your life." In the simplest terms, aren't you curious about your origins?"

Tong Tong pursed his lips: "I used to be curious, but now I'm numb." ”

"No, you shouldn't be numb. If you have been trafficked and you want to find your biological parents, who have been waiting for you for more than ten years, you have to tell them that you are doing well, and if you have been abandoned by your parents, then you should find them and tell them that you have lived a successful life, so that they will live in regret for the rest of their lives. ”

“......”

"If your biological parents have both passed away, there's no way around it. But if they do something wrong, you can take it as a warning or do something for them, but if they die unjustly and you've been displaced for so many years, then you...... Shouldn't we get justice for them and avenge them?"

Tong Tong's sloppy eyes gradually became bright.

"Tong Tong, I believe you are tired of hearing a lot of words, but I still have to persuade you from the bottom of my heart, you have too many mysteries, you need more wisdom to solve them, instead of doing nothing in this small world and wasting a lot of good time. ”

Tong Tong heard his own heartbeat: "Teacher, but I have already died......"

"I didn't have a dead heart, and you shouldn't be dead. Teacher Meng's expression softened a lot: "To be honest, I've talked a lot with Officer Niu recently, and he told me all the clues about your background." He's been looking for you for years, and now that so much time has passed, there's little hope, and if I can find it, it's a miracle. However, I am really not a person who gives up easily, and everyone who knows me says that I am a tendon and a shaft. ”

Tong Tong listened silently, he was still not used to accepting other people's kindness, but there were always some people whose kindness he couldn't refuse, such as Lao Niu and his daughter-in-law, such as Lao Fan, and ...... Teacher Meng in front of you.

"Teacher Meng, what should I do if I want to solve those mysteries on my body?"

"Take the university entrance examination, try to get admitted to a good university as much as possible!" Teacher Meng raised his voice: "When you go to university, your horizons will be broadened, you will know talents in various majors, and even among your classmates, some will be policemen, some will be prosecutors, and these people will help you." ”

Tong Tong's eyes became hot.

"Tong Tong, you just said that you are dead and have no hope in life, but you are not an adult, how big of the world have you seen? Not to mention anything else, do you know what college life is like? There, you will meet good friends for life. You go to class together, help each other bring breakfast, help each other check in, and play games together in the dorm room after class. You'll meet a girl you like, you'll be struggling because you don't know how to pursue her, and your best friends will do you a favor, even if sometimes they're doing you a favor. If you want to live a more fulfilling life, you will make the most of the library, which contains a collection of good books that you will never finish reading in your lifetime. You will be busy taking various qualifications, and you will stay up all night in your junior and senior years because of the graduate school entrance examination or public entrance examination...... If you like taekwondo, you can join the school taekwondo club, and with your strength, you may be able to become the president and accept the adoring eyes of others. After graduating, you and your friends will have a few years of appointments, gather in small restaurants around the school, or barbecue stands, have a few beers, and reminisce about the best youth......"

Teacher Meng is worthy of being a Chinese teacher, she said and said, a beautiful picture slowly unfolded in front of Tong Tong, it was a world he had never seen, or rather, a world he had never dared to look forward to.

At that moment, he suddenly didn't want to nest in this shabby school, he didn't want to do nothing for the rest of his life, and he desperately wanted to take off a label that he was once proud of - a thug who fought very well.

"Teacher Meng, I'...... Can I get into college?"

Teacher Meng did not answer him directly, but pulled out a magazine from the drawer. The magazine was quite old, and the cover was blurry and fried. But the name of the magazine is very clear, although it is printed in lead, but it reveals a sharp edge, like the eyes of a young man with strong blood and high spirits.

The name of that magazine was "Thorn Man".
