Chapter 11 Classmates' Love
Jiang Dahe's father, Jiang Dacang, came to pick him up from school today, and Xin Andong rubbed back and arrived home half an hour earlier than before.
Saying goodbye to the Jiang family's father and son, Xin Andong walked towards his home. Before I entered the door, I heard my grandmother's angry voice, crying, sharp and bitter.
"I can't live this day! Our family also has to eat and drink, and finally there is a disciple who has to get into trouble, Ge Jinhua has poured you some ecstasy soup, and you don't panic when you turn your elbow out! Daughters and sons-in-law are listening here, I won't save face today, what about my grandson's tuition, what about the medical expenses of the child's perennial illness, can you reach out and borrow a penny from Ge Jinhua when you enter the hospital? Your three granddaughters are being abused in other families, you treat Ge Jinhua's son as a treasure, why don't you sell yourself to them to eat meat and drink blood, why do you want to harm my grandchildren!"
Aunt Cheng walked out of her house when she heard the voice, and just saw Xin Andong standing silently in front of the closed wooden door with her head down, staring at the sneakers on her feet with some white laces.
Old man Xin is a fool, he gives the good ones to outsiders and lets his grandson eat bran vegetables, Ge Jinhua gives whatever he wants, and he doesn't look at his own situation, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes.
She sighed sympathetically, stepped forward and touched Xin Andong's head, and said softly, "Dongzi, Grandma Cheng's house burned fish today, the yellow croaker that your uncle caught specially fished, Xiaohua Xiaofen's two gluttonous cats have been calling for a long time to eat, go, go home with Grandma Cheng for dinner." β
Xiaohua Xiaofen is a pair of dragon and phoenix grandchildren of Aunt Cheng's family, and Aunt Cheng's doting on them is no less than Grandma Xin's love for Xin Andong.
He raised his head and smiled back to Aunt Cheng, "Leave the yellow croaker for my younger brothers and sisters to eat, my grandma is still waiting for me to go home for dinner, Grandma Cheng, you should also go home early, Xiaohua and Xiaofen can't see that you are making trouble." β
After speaking, Xin Andong pushed the door into the house.
Aunt Cheng saw it, her eyes were a little hot, "This child, his milk didn't hurt him in vain." β
"Milk! I'm back, I'm starving, what is there to eat for me, Jiang Dahe always robs me of steamed buns, next time I must hide it and not let him find it!"
As soon as he entered the door, Xin Andong shouted loudly, as if he didn't feel the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the room, and pounced on Grandma Xin's rare coquettishness.
Grandma Xin quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged her eldest grandson, and said anxiously in a hoarse voice, "You kid, you don't know how to find food when you're hungry?" Jiang Dahe still robbed you of steamed buns, I asked your mother to find Wang Xiangmei tomorrow and said, how can their children go to school without food, how can they rob you, what should I do if my grandson is hungry!"
"Hee-hee, milk, I'm talking to you, Jiang Dahe also brought me a chicken leg yesterday, he ate my thick noodle steamed buns, I ate his white rice, I earned it!"
"You are a narrow ghost!" Grandma Xin burst into tears and laughed, scratched Xin Andong's nose affectionately, and asked gently, "Are you really hungry or not? Milk will serve you rice, knowing that you love to eat white rice, I specially asked your father to carry a bag of rice today and beat rice with the huller in the team, and it is also cheap for outsiders to stay at home, so it is better to let my eldest grandson eat enough." β
The meaning of the sentence made Grandpa Xin's slightly soothing gaze instantly dim when he saw his grandson.
Under Xin Andong's gags, the Xin family's dinner today went on as usual, but except for Xin Andong and Grandma Xin's occasional words on the table because of the vegetables, or Xin Wenfang asked him about the school, Grandpa Xin didn't say a word, and his weather-beaten and calloused palms held the bowl and bowed his head to eat, silent than the air.
After dinner, Xin Andong offered to wash the dishes, but Grandma Xin refused to let him go and pushed him to do his homework.
When he returned to the house, he happened to bump into the stupid father carrying a kerosene lamp, and the other hand was holding the net pole of wading fish and shrimp to go out, he frowned and asked his mother, "Why does Dad still go down to the river to catch shrimp when it is so dark, how dangerous is the black rumbling by the river." β
"Children are so busy, didn't your grandmother tell you to do your homework, go quickly!" Xin's mother said in a stiff tone, and followed Xin's father out without looking back.
Odd.
Turning around, Xin Andong happened to see his grandfather enter the hut, and he didn't know how long the old man had been standing there.
"What are you still looking at when Dongzi is standing at the door, come into the house and do your homework, your parents will come back in a while, remember to light the kerosene when you write, don't hurt your eyes." After saying that, Grandma Xin hurriedly went to feed the chickens with a food bowl containing chopped wild vegetables.
The old man was short and thin, and his walking was a little unsteady, and he couldn't see the sharp appearance of scolding Grandpa Xin in the evening.
Ge Jinhua, thinking of this person, disgust flashed in Xin Andong's eyes.
The quarrel in the evening, not only called Grandpa Xin and 'sacrificing himself for others', so that Ge Jinhua took any benefits from his own family, as a junior, even Xin's mother could not accuse Grandpa Xin, and as a grandchild, it was even more impossible for him to criticize the behavior of the old man.
There are some people who are unhappy in their hearts, and some people complain that Grandpa Xin makes grandma so sad.
But the crux of this matter lies in Grandpa Xin's attitude towards the second room, as long as the old man has a sense of guilt for the dead second grandfather for a day, then the old Xin family will always be used by Ge Jinhua, he has to think of a trick, he must let the old-fashioned grandfather see Ge Jinhua's ugly face thoroughly.
After thinking about it all night, he didn't come up with a way, and because he knew from his grandmother's cynicism to his grandfather in the morning that his parents only came home in the early hours of last night, Xin Andong, who had just drunk a sip of porridge, immediately put down the bowl and was full of anger.
......
Xin Andongjiang, who exuded depression all over his body, didn't dare to provoke, the two walked to the school, Xin Andong was so tired that he was out of breath, and because he didn't eat breakfast, his face turned white, he bent down and returned to his seat, and immediately lay down and couldn't move, and the pain of his stomach twitching made him make another note in his heart for Ge Jinhua.
"I'm so hungry......" Xin Andong clutched his stomach and groaned in pain.
"Hungry, I have something to eat, do you want it?"
Suddenly heard a joking question in his ear, the voice was a little familiar, but I forgot where I heard it, he lay on the desk and tilted his head slightly, and lifted his eyelids weakly.
"Wow, your face is so white, I thought hell," the child's miserable little white face was a little purple, and his head against the edge of the table made it difficult to see his face, but only one side of the cheek and sharpened chin were inexplicably distressing, "Tsk! As for starving yourself to such a miserable appearance, ah, fresh milk, give it to you, and bread, I brought a lot." β
Unscrewed the cap of the milk bottle, unscrewed another bag of bread and stuffed it into his hand on his lap, "Take it yourself." β
Xin Andong was really hungry, he didn't know that the original body still had stomach pain, he unceremoniously took the bread and put it in his mouth, "Thank you." β
"What are you doing so politely, we will be at the same table in the future, I heard that you are still the first in age, my cousin specially praised you, and asked me to study hard with you, hey child, discuss something with you?"
"Hmm... What's the matter?" Xin Andong asked inarticulate as he nibbled on bread and took a sip of milk.
"I'll bring you breakfast every day, and I'll copy the answers when you take the exam, how about it, it's a good deal, right?"
Xin Andong unceremoniously refused: "No." β
The hunger pang slowly subsided, and his smart brain was functioning normally, and this new tablemate was probably the cousin of the man yesterday, who was in a fight at another school, and was dropped out of school for gathering a crowd to cause trouble, and then was mercilessly stuffed into the class of his old classmates by his cousin.
Tong Zhenghao almost laughed angrily when he was unceremoniously refused, "Hey I said child, what you eat in your mouth now is my bread, and you dare to cheat after eating my things, believe it or not, I threw you out of this window!"
He bared his teeth and threatened, expecting that this weak child could not help but be frightened.
Xin Andong grabbed the bread and nibbled on it, raised his head and stared at Tong Zhenghao with his big watery eyes, calmly and freely smashing all Tong Zhenghao's arrogance.
"You...... You're the kid who sells lobsters!"
The tone of surprise suddenly raised, as if it was an incredible thing for him to appear in this classroom.
Xin Andong recognized Tong Zhenghao's face as early as when he caught a glimpse of him just now, and ate a mouthful of bread and drank a sip of milk unhurriedly, and said unhappily, "Don't be a child, you are not a few years older than me." β
"So what, I'm taller than you, dwarf winter melon!"
The thorn in height Xin Andong didn't know how long he would be pierced in his life, he didn't have a big heart, others attacked him about his height, he was actually quite angry, his face was cold, and he said, "Childish." β
"You dare to call me naΓ―ve, I ......"
Tong Zhenghao still wanted to shout, and after recognizing Xin Andong, he was not really angry, but seeing that the child was not very old, and his unsmiling and steady appearance was very similar to his old-fashioned cousin, he couldn't help but want to tease.
"Tong Zhenghao, bullying classmates on the first day of class, do you want to stand outside the classroom?"
Lan Mingqu walked into the classroom with a book and a large right-angled triangle ruler, and as soon as he put things on the desk, he bumped into Tong Zhenghao's eyebrows and pointed at Xin Andong, thinking of this child's bad deeds in the previous school, he immediately scolded with a straight face.
"Dogs are nosy with rats. Tong Zhenghao lowered his head and muttered.
didn't know that Lan Mingqu was walking in front of him, and just listened to this sentence word for word, his face twitched slightly, and he didn't let him go at all on the face that he was familiar with Tong Zhenghao's cousin, and said sternly: "Insult the teacher, punish and copy the school rules a hundred times." β
After speaking, he turned around resolutely.
"I'm sick! I'm going to copy the dead a hundred times!" The rebellious Tong Zhenghao couldn't bear this kind of punishment, and immediately slammed his schoolbag on the desk under the gaze of all the students in the class, "If you have the ability, you will let me drop out of school, anyway, I won't copy the school rules if I die!"
"Start classes now, students should not be disturbed by irrelevant people, the motherland needs pillars of knowledge and talent, you study hard here today, and tomorrow you can contribute to the construction of the motherland......"
Teacher Lan didn't think Tong Zhenghao existed at all, and said something encouraging to the students, so he opened the textbook and started the class as usual.
Tong Zhenghao, who had no one to take care of the waves, waited for a long time and didn't see Lan Mingqu looking at him, so he had to sit down with a red face and resentment, and stuffed his schoolbag into the table cabinet, looking like a defeated rooster.
Xin Andong glanced at the table with his head bowed and sulking, quite pitiful to him, obviously this baby didn't know that Teacher Lan was specially invited by his cousin to treat him.
The class time was very fast, and the fighting method with Teacher Lan was disgraced in front of his classmates, and Tong Zhenghao was a little listless in the next few classes, even if he was reminded by the teacher who knocked on the desk, he still did his own thing and didn't listen to the lecture, Xin Andong looked at it curiously, and just put the black flip phone in Tong Zhenghao's hand into his eyes.
It's a real tyrant, there are mobile phones in this era, or Motorola presses the flip cover, you must know that money can't buy it, compared to those turtles who show off their wealth like a big brother like bricks, I don't know how much higher the level.
"Look at what! You dare to sue me and I want you to look good!" Tong Zhenghao was very alert, and when he found Xin Andong peeking, he immediately quickly stuffed his mobile phone into his schoolbag, and threatened viciously.
Sure enough, I'm still a little afraid of the teacher.
An inexplicable smile flashed in Xin Andong's eyes, and he asked innocently, "That was a mobile phone just now?"
Tong Zhenghao was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then his eyebrows flew, and he said proudly and sneeringly, "I can't see that you are quite knowledgeable, that's right, my parents bought it for me in the United States, and it has just been listed.
His eyes were dripping with ghost ideas, and he said to Xin Andong in a demagogic tone.
"Hehe, no. "I want to copy you last night when I touch it, it's still indefinite, why is your face so big.
Tong Zhenghao frowned unhappily, "Then you will be greedy!"
After speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his schoolbag again to play, blocking his body and deliberately not letting Xin Andong see it.
In this era, the mobile phone can not go online and watch videos except for calls, Xin Andong is not as obsessed as Tong Zhenghao expected, when he turned his head to see Xin Andong's lost expression, he saw that the child was serious and serious about learning, and the attraction of his mobile phone did not work at all in this child.
Tong Zhenghao's eyes widened in astonishment, how could it be possible, what he had in his hand was the latest mobile phone, and this kid turned a blind eye?!
was repeatedly hit, and when the two good brothers called him to go to the cafeteria to eat at noon, he couldn't raise his interest, and waved his hand with a frown, and said weakly, "I'm not in the mood, you can go by yourself." β
He was still immersed in the depression of being defeated by Xin Andong's calm attitude.
Since Xin's father sent lunch on the first day, Xin Andong has never let him go, every day he brings his lunch box from home, Jiang Dahe sits with him at the table in front of him, and the two of them put the lunch boxes together and eat lunch face to face.
Xin Andong is more particular, Jiang Dahe wants to eat which dish in his lunch box has to say in advance, he dials it to him before eating, and then officially eats Jiang Dahe is not allowed to stretch chopsticks into his lunch box.
Jiang Dahe aggrievedly accused Xin Andong of disliking him, but Xin Andong was unmoved.
Among the two, Jiang Dahe's family is in slightly better condition, but it is not the main one who can eat big fish and meat, so today's meal is relatively simple, Jiang Dahe is lettuce scrambled eggs and some braised beans, Xin Andong as usual crayfish and half a piece of fried tofu, which is made by Xin Andong himself, fried to a golden tofu block sprinkled with some spicy chopped peppers and home-made pickles.
Lobsters will always be greasy when eaten every day, and Jiang Dahe licked his face to ask for Xin Andong's fried tofu.
Glancing at him, Xin Andong gave him half of it, and asked routinely: "Do you still want lobsters?"
"Well," Jiang Dahe thought about it for a moment, his bulging little face wrinkled, "Yes, but don't give it all to me, I can't eat it more." β
I don't want to eat it, but I can't bear to smell it.
They are all from a village, and Jiang Dahe also maintains him everywhere in the class, Xin Andong has always tried his best to meet this little requirement for his choice of dishes, sandwiched three shrimp to him, and the remaining three are eaten by himself.
Jiang Dahe gave him all the lettuce scrambled eggs in his lunch box, and said awkwardly, "You eat it, the eggs smell fishy, I don't like it." β
After speaking, he buried his head in the rice.
Who in the village has an egg and does not save it quickly, just wait for the number to be sold in the county seat, Jiang Dahe's grandmother loves her grandson, and every day the eggs laid by the old hen are taken to her grandson to eat, either boiled eggs, or fried eggs, scrambled eggs, Jiang Dahe eats eggs every day.
The Xin family is not good, the only old hen only lays an egg in a few days, and Grandma Xin can't do it even if she wants to give her grandson eggs every day.
Looking at the golden and fragrant eggs in the lunch box, Xin Andong knew that the fishy smell was fake, Jiang Dahe deliberately said that when he gave him eggs to eat, he had a good heart, and it was not in vain that he brought him crayfish to eat every day.
The two friends have lunch affectionately and lovingly, although the dishes are ordinary, but the affection for sharing food with each other really makes Tong Zhenghao, who is lying on the side eavesdropping, envious, he also has friends, but they often only brag and fart together, or they are in a group fight.
Think of a tender moment that is never worth remembering.
Smelling the familiar smell of lobster, his saliva was about to overflow, his head lying on the table moved dishonestly, and the bench under his buttocks was also dragged by him to make a sound, but it didn't attract Xin Andong's attention.
He was very depressed, and his abdomen was even more hungry, which made her a little upset, and she was ashamed to take the initiative to speak, Tong Zhenghao was entangled in his heart for a while, smelling the fragrance of vegetables, listening to the sound of the conversation between the two, moving around and rubbing himself into a sweat, suddenly angry, and thinking, he still gave Xin Andong milk and bread to eat in the morning, why can't he ask for his lunch?
At this time, his stomach made a very useless sound, Tong Zhenghao raised his head, Xin Andong happened to look over, his face turned red, and he said inwardly: "I'm hungry, give me your food!"
Is there anyone else who is so justified in grabbing food? Xin Andong was stunned for a moment.
However, he is mentally old and doesn't care about being like a spoiled little kid, and if it weren't for Tong Zhenghao's milk and bread in the morning, it's hard to say whether he would have survived the morning class.
Facing the more unruly and lawless Tong Zhenghao, Jiang Dahe saw that Xin Andong was being bullied, and he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, so he only dared to stare at him with his cheeks puffed out.
After thinking about it, Xin Andong put down the spoon.
"Then you wait a minute. He lowered his head and took out a new lunch box with steamed buns from the desk, which Xin Wenfang bought for him a few days ago, Xin Andong put one of the steamed buns into the lunch box containing vegetables, and took half of the dishes from the lunch box containing vegetables, he didn't ask for crayfish, only allocated some lettuce scrambled eggs and fried tofu, and then handed the lunch box with vegetables to Tong Zhenghao, saying, "Only these, eat, don't dislike it." β
It's one thing to ask for it, it was really given by someone, and he directly took half of the lunch from others, Tong Zhenghao looked at the aluminum lunch box containing steamed buns and vegetables in front of him, and suddenly his nose was a little sour, and he took the chopsticks that Xin Andong gave him with a red face, and buried his head directly in the lunch box, and ate for a while, he raised his head and solemnly announced: "From now on, you will be my buddy, and I will pay you ten meals after I eat you!"
Xin Andong was amused by his solemn words, "Don't take it seriously, I haven't been hungry since I ate your bread in the morning, everyone is classmates, and it is appropriate to help each other." β
The child's cheeks were thin and white, his delicate lips were slightly hooked, and his whole body exuded a cordial and friendly atmosphere, Tong Zhenghao looked at it in a daze, then lowered his head and did not speak, and continued to eat with his head buried in his mouth, and he thought he was eating some delicacies and seafood, chewing crayfish with a satisfied face.
In the end, at the behest of his old classmates, Lan Mingqu learned that Tong Zhenghao didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch, so he specially called for food and came to the classroom to find him.
There are shrimp and eggs, this tofu is also golden and attractive, it tastes better than me, it smells so good, I thought you had no food to eat, it seems that I was worried in vain. Lan Mingqu said with a smile.
His gaze swept over the lunch box of the three of them, especially in Xin Andong's shallow lunch box for a second, thinking to himself, arranging Tong Zhenghao to sit with Xin Andong was really the right decision, look, in less than half a day, the little overlord who was made of heaven and earth had learned to mingle with his classmates.
Xin Andong raised his head and looked puzzled: "Teacher Lan?"
As he spoke, he was about to stand up, Jiang Dahe was also so frightened that the food in his mouth fell out, and he pushed away the bench in a panic, only Tong Zhenghao blatantly didn't take Lan Mingqua seriously, snorted, and took care of the crayfish by himself.
Lan Mingqu pressed his hand down, and there was a smile on Junxiu's face, "I just came to see Tong Zhenghao, since he has already eaten, I don't have to worry," said and praised Xin Andong, "Classmate Xin really didn't disappoint the teacher, you did a good job of caring for your classmates and sharing with others." β
Xin Andong paused for a moment, glanced at the tips of Tong Zhenghao's reddened ears, laughed in his heart, and returned to Lan Minglu, "Thank you for the teacher's praise, although Tong Zhenghao is the first day to enter our class, he is kind, and when I have a stomach ache in the morning, he took the initiative to give me his breakfast to eat, which makes me very moved, and I am also very grateful to Tong Zhenghao, we are all classmates of a class collective, we love each other, unite and help each other, in order to create a better class collective." β
A casual word of praise, I didn't expect this child's ideological consciousness to be so high, Lan Mingqu helped the frame on the bridge of his nose and praised him, "You are right, only when everyone works together and helps each other like a family, can we push our class to a higher level, Xin is enthusiastic and friendly, the teacher believes that you will be able to create good results in this 'I for the class' essay contest, and the teacher is optimistic about you." β
Besides, he really didn't expect Tong Zhenghao to be so loved by his classmates that he would give breakfast to his table?
Sure enough, his decision was correct, and being at the same table with Xin Andong was the most right choice to transform Xiaobawang.
Xin Andong, who was suddenly put on a high hat by the teacher: "......" No, I knew that he wouldn't say so many high-sounding words, is it too late to slap himself now?
