Comfort Women's Japanese Aberdeen (novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.12.22

Luo Shanxue started school, and the school was in two broken earth houses in the village. The earthen house is more than 20 square meters, and there is a narrow aisle in the middle, on both sides of the aisle are desks made of long wooden planks one foot wide, and the stools are stacked with mud. There were more than 30 students in the classroom, and they sat on two sides, with third-graders on one side and first-graders on the other. Although Luo Shanxue is over seven years old, he is low and thin, so he sits in the front row of the classroom.

There are two young female teachers in the school, and the one surnamed Zhou is the one who teaches them in the first and third grades. Students have two classes a morning, starting with a Chinese class. Teacher Zhou first taught the first grade on the left side of the classroom and taught the students to learn "Sun Moon Water Volcano Stone Field He". She taught everyone to recognize, taught everyone to read, and then taught everyone to write. Then, leave homework for everyone and ask them to write each word ten times. Then, she started teaching third-grade students. By the time the third graders were finished, it was almost time to get out of class. I heard someone ring the bell, so I got out of class.

Ten minutes later, another female teacher surnamed Zhong came to give them an arithmetic lesson. Teacher Zhou is going to teach Chinese to the second and fourth grades. Ms. Zhong taught the first grade first as usual, and she taught everyone the numbers from 1 to 10 with her fingers. When everyone learned, she asked everyone to start writing the numbers in a notebook and then teach them to the third grade.

After two lessons, the students played freely in front of the classroom door. Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhong sat in a small office next to the classroom to correct homework. There were fifty or sixty students in the fourth grade, and the space in front of the classroom was not too large, so some students had to run to the grass next to them to play. The grass next to it is not very flat, except for a toilet covered, and some vegetable plots and crops planted by Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhong.

After entering the school, Luo Shanxue felt that some of them were so fresh and interesting, and with so many classmates, he no longer felt lonely. However, his classmates are all from his own village and neighboring villages, and many people know him and know him, but they still refuse to play with him. In their spare time, students played room jumping, triangle shooting, pinball, and hide and seek. He also wanted to play with everyone, but they always excluded him and didn't let him play with them. He just stood from afar and watched everyone play.

One afternoon, when school was closed, he followed two classmates from his village to play next to the school. At this time, seeing Mr. Zhou enter the toilet, the two students walked to the edge of the toilet and secretly looked inside. may have been discovered by Mr. Zhou, so he was so frightened that he ran outside. At this time, Teacher Zhou came out of the toilet and shouted for the two students to come over. The two students walked up to Teacher Zhou, who angrily reprimanded them and told them to call their parents. However, the student named Li Youfang immediately said, "Teacher, it's not me who is peeking, it's Luo Shanxue who is peeking." ”

Teacher Zhou angrily called Luo Shanxue, who was standing aside, over and asked, "You peeked into the toilet just now?" Luo Shanxue immediately defended, "Teacher, it's not me, it's the two of them." I just stood here and didn't move. Teacher Zhou knew that Luo Shanxue was honest and cowardly, and he didn't have that much courage, so he let Luo Shanxue go and called Li Youfang and the student named Luo Pinggui to the office.

Because of the bad nature of this incident, Teacher Zhou asked the two to call the parents and ask the parents to take the children back and discipline them well. As a result, the parents took the child home and beat him severely, and then brought the child to the school to apologize to the teacher. That's the end of the matter. Afterwards, Li Youfang and Luo Pinggui hated Luo Shanxue to death, so they pointed at him and said that they blamed him for being beaten this time, and said that they wanted him to be careful. Luo Shanxue knew that he had offended others, and he didn't dare to say more, so he tried every means to avoid others.

That day, after two classes, everyone was playing hide and seek on the small playground in front of the classroom. Luo Shanxue also wanted to play with everyone, so he stood by and waited for others to pick him. In the end, there was no one else, and the leading classmate had to pick him up. However, at this time, Li Youfang shouted, "Don't want him, he is a Japanese boy, and my house was burned by his father." Luo Pinggui also said to the side, "My brother-in-law was shot and killed by his father." ”

As soon as Luo Shanxue heard this, he shouted, "Nonsense, if my father had burned down your house, he would have been arrested a long time ago." If my father had killed your uncle, he would have been shot long ago. But Li Youfang said, "If you don't believe it, go ask your mother to see if you are a Japanese boy." At this time, another classmate next to him also said, "My grandfather also said that he was a Japanese boy, and his mother gave birth to him when he was a Japanese devil." When he heard this, he wept angrily and said, "You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense." Several of his classmates said to him, "Just go back and ask your mother." ”

Luo Shanxue was so angry that he ran home crying, and saw that his mother was sitting in front of the door basking in the sun and doing needlework, so he walked up to his mother and cried and said, "Mom, they all call me Japanese boy, and they also say that my father burned his house, killed his uncle, and said that you are a wife for Japanese devils." Is this true?" the mother glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to do the needlework in her hands. Seeing that his mother was silent, he asked loudly, "You say, is this true?" Mom still didn't speak, but a string of tears was rolling down her eyes. He said, "If you don't speak, then it's true!"

Hearing him questioning her in such a loud voice, her mother was afraid that others would hear her badly, so she didn't say a word, but went into the house with a needlework basket, and sat down on the bed in the back room and began to cry. Seeing his mother crying, Luo Shanxue didn't dare to ask his mother anymore. It was so disappointing for him, so sad for him. Originally, he thought that his mother would ask him, "Who said this?" Then, he took his mother to the school to talk to Li Youfang and Luo Pinggui, and then told Teacher Zhou about it, and asked Teacher Zhou to call their parents and beat them up again, so that they could learn a good lesson. However, none of this happened. On the contrary, my mother did not say a word, but sat in the room and cried secretly. It seems that my mother really has some unsavory things hidden in her heart.

He knew he couldn't ask his mother about it, but he couldn't leave it without an answer. So, he went into his grandmother's house and asked her, "Did my father kill people and burn down the house?" Before he could finish speaking, his grandmother stared at her sternly and said, "What nonsense? How could your father kill people and set fire to other people's houses?" You are talking nonsense. Luo Shanxue said, "Then why did Li Youfang say that his family's house was set on fire by my father, Luo Pinggui said that his brother-in-law was shot and killed by my father, and also said that my mother gave birth to me as a wife to the Japanese?" Grandma sighed and blinked her eyes for a while, not knowing how to answer. After a long time, my grandmother said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, how can your father kill people and set fire to the house? If that's the case, can the police have already arrested him?"

However, he still felt that his grandmother was not telling him the truth, and that night, he came to find the eldest uncle. The eldest uncle is my father's older brother and lives on the other side of the village. The eldest uncle was sitting in his own hall and smoking, he walked up to him and said, "Uncle, why do they call me Japanese boy?" The eldest uncle listened to his questioning, and didn't want to tell him the truth, but he felt that the paper couldn't contain the fire, and he should tell him the truth, he sighed and said, "Yes, your mother was indeed bullied by the Japanese soldiers, and then gave birth to you." Hearing this, Luo Shanxue's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he bit his lip fiercely with his teeth, saying, "So, why don't you hit those villains with stones?" The eldest uncle shook his head and said, "People have guns, and they shot you to death before you could hit them with stones, which is also something that can't be helped, kid." ”
