In the next few days, Wu Chengfeng also went to his aunt's house, maybe his aunt was in a bad mood because of the fact that she burned the bottom of the pot by playing games, and she didn't play games. Until the beginning of school, Wu Chengfeng did not play Contra again, so he was depressed.

After the start of school, Wu Chengfeng should be in the third grade. But now Wu Chengfeng, because he always remembers Contra, often wanders in class, and his academic performance is not as good as before.

During the break in class that day, while chatting, Wu Libo mentioned with great interest that his father bought him a game console as a birthday gift. Wu Chengfeng suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked Wu Libo's game console if he could play Contra. After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Chengfeng begged Wu Libo to take him home from school to play. Wu Libo is not a stingy person, so he nodded happily and agreed. In this way, Wu Chengfeng often followed Wu Libo home after school to play games, and played until dark. During this time, Wu Chengfeng not only cleared Contra, but also learned a series of games such as Adventure Island, Doctor Mary, Street Fighter, Dragon Ball, etc. While indulging in games, Wu Chengfeng's grades have seriously declined.

Halfway through the textbook, the class has to take a math test. This time, Wu Chengfeng panicked unprecedentedly, he only cared about playing games in the past two months, and his studies were almost abandoned. Worried about worry, the exam went on as usual. Wu Chengfeng trembled and held the exam paper, he only felt dazzled in front of him, and the numbers on the exam paper seemed to have become Contra, jumping around with a gun. Wu Chengfeng didn't know most of the exam questions, and when he was scratching his ears and cheeks, he saw Wu Xiaodong at the same table lying on the table and writing the exam questions quickly. Wu Chengfeng had an idea, and sneakily peeked at Wu Xiaodong's answer.

A day later, the results were announced, and Wu Chengfeng only scored 58 points. Since Wu Chengfeng went to school, his test scores were rarely lower than 90 points, but this time he only scored 58 points, and he still failed the test, which was really the first time in the world. Wu Chengfeng was unwilling, feeling that he had plagiarized Wu Xiaodong, how could he take so few exams. Wu Chengfeng quietly took a look at Wu Xiaodong's results, and what made him laugh and cry was that Wu Xiaodong only scored fifty-five points, and the plagiarists did not take the plagiarists as much, which was really ridiculous. However, Wu Chengfeng couldn't laugh, he didn't know such results, how to explain to his parents when he went home.

Is it a blessing or a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided! After Wu Chengfeng came home from school, his father, Wu Jianhua, still asked about his grades.

Wu Jianhua has been following a transportation worker in the village to help unload lime, and he will not spend more than five days a month at home. In the past few days, Wu Jianhua happened to be at home. Wu Chengfeng hesitated, but still took out the exam paper nervously.

Wu Jianhua took Wu Chengfeng's exam paper with great interest, and after he saw the scores on the exam paper, his smile froze suddenly. Wu Jianhua flipped through the exam papers several times, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Is this your exam paper?" Wu Jianhua asked with a blushing face.

Wu Chengfeng lowered his head and nodded silently.

Wu Jianhua's hands were trembling, the green tendons on the back of his hands were bursting up, and his lips were trembling.

"Alas!" Wu Jianhua sighed, put Wu Chengfeng's exam paper on the table, and left the back room without saying a word.

Wu Chengfeng was ready to be scolded and beaten, but his father didn't scold him. Wu Chengfeng knows that his father has high expectations for himself since he was a child, and he is also very competitive. This time, Wu Chengfeng knew that he had disappointed his father. Wu Chengfeng looked at his father's depressed back, and his heart was like a knife.

After Wu Chengfeng got up the next day, he found that his father had gone out with the car, and on the ground in front of the sofa, Wu Chengfeng found more than 20 cigarette butts. Wu Chengfeng knew that although his father smoked, his father could smoke a box of cigarettes for three or four days. And last night, Dad smoked more than a box. Wu Chengfeng knew in his heart that his father was depressed because he failed the exam. Wu Chengfeng secretly made up his mind to change his past mistakes and work hard to improve his achievements.

Since then, Wu Chengfeng has never played games again, he has plunged into textbooks and studied without sleep or food. When it came time for the final exam, Wu Chengfeng regained the first place in the class. After Wu Jianhua saw his son's results, he smiled with satisfaction.

Life passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, Wu Chengfeng was twelve years old, and he was in the fourth grade. In the past two years, the first place in the class has always been firmly in the hands of Wu Chengfeng, and he is also the pride of the teacher.

Although Wu Chengfeng studied well, his family was not wealthy, and sometimes he wore shoes with open toes to school. Wu Chengfeng didn't care about dressing, but he was a little greedy. Sometimes, classmates with money in the family take pocket money to buy snacks to eat in the classroom, and Wu Chengfeng swallows saliva when he looks at it.

There is a commissary at the entrance of the school, and the commissary is opened by an old lady. The old lady has bad legs and feet, and she walks a little lame, and others call her "lame mother-in-law".

The lame mother-in-law is also a woman with a hard life, she is middle-aged and widowed, and she lives with her daughter-in-law, two widows, and two children. The lame mother-in-law has a granddaughter and a grandson, the granddaughter's name is Wu Xiulian, who is one grade higher than Wu Chengfeng, and the grandson's name is Wu Huichao, which is two grades lower than Wu Chengfeng. The lame mother-in-law's daughter-in-law works odd jobs in a brick factory in a neighboring village, and the lame mother-in-law opens this commissary at the school gate to earn some pocket money to survive.

At that time, Wu Chengfeng was young and didn't understand the hardships of the world, so he didn't feel how pitiful the lame mother-in-law's family was.

At noon that day, before class time, Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong came to the lame mother-in-law's commissary to buy things. Wu Xiaodong's ruler was broken, and he wanted to buy one. When Wu Chengfeng was picking a ruler in Wu Xiaodong, he saw a bag of melon seeds on the counter, and that package of melon seeds cost five cents. At that time, popsicles were only a dime a piece. Wu Chengfeng saw the old eyes of the lame mother-in-law, and suddenly, an evil thought rose in his heart. Wu Chengfeng took advantage of the lame mother-in-law's inattention and secretly put the bag of melon seeds into his pocket.

Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong returned to the classroom, and as soon as he sat down, he saw the lame mother-in-law rushing to the classroom. At this time, Wu Chengfeng vaguely felt that it might be the lame mother-in-law who found that the melon seeds were lost. Wu Chengfeng was anxious, and hurriedly stuffed the melon seeds in his pocket into the desk and covered them tightly with books.

Sure enough, after the lame mother-in-law came to the classroom, she went straight to Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong. The lame mother-in-law glared at Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong and said, "I just lost a bag of melon seeds in the store, and you two have been there, did you steal it?"

"We didn't see each other! If you don't believe it, just flip through your pocket!" Wu Chengfeng, in order to prove his innocence, turned his pocket out of it and dried it for the lame mother-in-law to see.
