Lonely Volunteer Zhang Baotong 2018.8.20

My mother came back from grocery shopping and sat on the sofa in the living room picking vegetables. Zhong Xiaoxian sat next to his mother, holding a handful of long beans to help his mother pick vegetables. Her mother said to her, "I heard that Yunxiang has bought all the houses. ”

She nodded and said, "I bought it, in Pudong, it is three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, 120 square meters, and it cost nearly 4 million." ”

The mother was taken aback and said, "Why do you want so much money?"

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "That's big Shanghai, not small Miluo, you can buy a big house for six or seven hundred thousand." Mother said, "You are blessed to live in such a good house as soon as you get married, and when I married your father, I still rented a peasant's house to live." Zhong Xiaoxian said, "The times are different, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian asked his mother, "Do you know that Principal Huang has cancer?"

The mother sighed and said, "Why don't you let the bad guys get this disease, the Tao is to let a good person like Principal Huang give it, God is really too short-sighted." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "But he didn't let the doctor operate on him." ”

"He can't let go of the kids on the island." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "If someone helps him take those children, he will settle down and heal." ”

The mother said, "But who is going to help him take care of those children? With that, he took the beans and vegetables to the kitchen to be washed.

Zhong Xiaoxian chased him to the kitchen, and while helping his mother wash the dishes, he said to his mother in a tentative tone, "Mom, I want to help him, or he won't have surgery." ”

When my mother heard this, her face immediately became serious, and she said, "No, you have a good job and don't want to do it, why do you want to go to that deserted island." ”

As soon as Zhong Xiaoxian heard his mother's words, his voice changed, and he said, "What Teacher Huang and Aunt Yang can do, I can also do." ”

The mother said in a tough tone, "They are idle and have no children, thinking of that isolated island, you have just graduated from college, not to mention finding a job well, starting a family well, and blindly participating in something." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian saw that his mother had this attitude, so he said, "I can't make sense with you, I'll tell my father." With that, he walked out of the kitchen.

When it was time to eat, the mother said to the father, "Your precious daughter is going to the mountains to help Principal Huang substitute for the class." The father was stunned, and then said to his daughter, "Didn't you say that you have found a job in Shanghai?"

Zhong Xiaoxian said while eating, "I saw that Principal Huang had cancer and refused to have surgery, so I wanted to help Principal Huang." ”

The father immediately turned gloomy and said, "This is no joke. Those children are not taken care of, and the local government will naturally find a way. Why do you so much heart?"

Zhong Xiaoxian also pulled down his face and said unhappily, "I'm not joking. ”

My father said categorically, "No." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian asked, "Why not?"

My father said, "If you go over there, what should you do with your work? What should Yunxiang do? ”

Zhong Xiaoxian put the bowl down and said, "Why can't you say no?"

The father said, "Because you are my daughter, I don't want you to be too reckless and impulsive." I'm thinking about your future. ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said angrily, "As far as you are concerned, you are still the director of the Engineering Agency, and you are far worse than the consciousness of Principal Huang." ”

The mother said to the side, "You are the daughter of your parents, and you are not the child of Principal Huang." How can a child not listen to his parents?"

Zhong Xiaoxian left the table, and everyone parted unhappily. Zhong Xiaoxian locked himself in the hut. She turned on the computer and saw that Wang Baocheng happened to be online, so she chatted with Wang Baocheng, "Hey, Baocheng, when are you coming back?"

Wang Baocheng said, "I came back yesterday afternoon. He said he was going to visit his old classmates, but he didn't bother with it. ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "Are you busy now, if you are not busy, I will go to your house and want to talk to you." ”

Wang Baocheng said, "Then come here." ”

The reason why she wanted to talk to Wang Baocheng was because she felt that Wang Baocheng was simple and pure. She and Wang Baocheng, Li Yunxiang, Liu Xiuqing, Zhang Peihua and Yang Weiqun are classmates who have been together since the first grade of primary school. At first, she and some of her classmates looked down on Wang Baocheng, because his family was the poorest of the classmates, his father died of a work injury, and his mother had no job. Because he is too honest and has a cowardly temperament, some classmates always love to bully him.

However, after he reached the third grade of primary school, no one dared to bully him anymore, because he was the first in the class in every exam, and Liu Xiuqing, the literary and art committee member in the class, was his neighbor, and if anyone bullied Wang Baocheng, she would openly stand up and argue with others, as if Wang Baocheng was her little brother. Liu Xiuqing is not only beautiful, can speak well, but also has a forgiving mouth, and her father is also a senior official of the Agency, so no one dares to recruit her.

Especially after reaching high school, Zhong Xiaoxian found that Wang Baocheng's whole person had changed, not only with good academic performance, but also handsome and handsome, with a gentle temperament, diligent hands and feet, and very thoughtful. Every time there was any dirty work in the class that no one did, he always did it quietly by himself. Therefore, when she is a class cadre, she often encounters some things that cannot be commanded by others, at this time, she will say, "Wang Baocheng, you can help me do this." "He'll come right away and help you with things. Over time, she had a very good impression of him.

Speaking from the heart, although Li Yunxiang and Wang Baocheng are the best of the boys in the class. However, in her mind, she feels that Wang Baocheng is still better than Li Yunxiang, first, Wang Baocheng's academic performance has been ranked first for many years, and secondly, Wang Baocheng is a child of a poor family, who can bear hardships and stand hard work, obedient and obedient, unlike Li Yunxiang who encounters heavy and dirty work, always commanding others to do it, and always putting on a leadership posture. However, Li Yunxiang has been a class leader for many years, and his father is a senior party official of the Agency. If it weren't for Liu Xiuqing, she would prefer to choose Wang Baocheng as her lover and object.

Wang Baocheng's family lives in a corner of the compound of the Railway Engineering Agency. There are still four red brick and red tile bungalows built in the sixties and seventies of the last century. Because the Agency's original bungalows were almost completely refrigerated, new six-storey buildings were erected. And Wang Baocheng's family couldn't afford to buy a new building at that time, so they still lived in the original dilapidated bungalow. Because almost no one still lives in the bungalow, Wang Baocheng's family changed the one-and-a-half-room house they originally lived in to three bungalows as soon as they opened up the one-and-a-half-room house of Liu Xiuqing's family.

Although Wang Baocheng's house is a three-room bungalow, there are still no decent furniture and items in the house. Because their family lives in a bungalow, family members and classmates still like to come to his house. His family is a big place, and he doesn't pay much attention to it, the most important thing is that the Wang family's mother and son treat people sincerely and warmly.

Zhong Xiaoxian entered Wang's house, and Wang Baocheng was sitting in front of the computer. Seeing Zhong Xiaoxian coming, he got up to greet him and said, "The talented girl is here." Then, he brought the preserved fruits brought from Beijing for Zhong Xiaoxian to eat.

Zhong Xiaoxian picked two and tasted them, and said to Zhong Xiaoxian, "Do you know about Principal Huang's illness?"

Wang Baocheng said, "I still listened to Liu Xiuqing in the afternoon. She said you had a meeting and a meal about it. ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said angrily, "You must know that they are all like turtles with shrunken heads, and I don't invite them to dinner yet." ”

Wang Baocheng said with some doubts, "However, I went to the hospital to see Principal Huang this afternoon, and he was still in a coma. Aunt Yang said he had surgery only in the morning. She said that you have found someone to substitute for Principal Huang. Could this be true?"

Zhong Xiaoxian sighed and said helplessly, "If I don't say that, Principal Huang won't have surgery." Therefore, I can only say to Aunt Yang that we have found someone so that Principal Huang can go for surgery with peace of mind. It's a big deal, if no one goes, then I'll go by myself. ”

Wang Baocheng nodded and said, "You are worthy of being Principal Huang's proud disciple, and your ideological realm is high, Principal Huang really didn't misunderstand you." Then, he said in a very worried tone, "However, we have all been there, isolated islands in the lake, barren mountains and wilderness, not to mention encountering bad people, even herds of wild boars are frightening, but how can you stay in that kind of place alone with a girl's family? That is, Principal Huang and Aunt Yang are by your side." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian didn't think about this question, but can Li Yunxiang go with her? She frowned and said, "I really want Li Yunxiang to go with me, but I don't think he will agree, so I haven't told him what is in my heart." Otherwise, the reason why I came to you today is that I want you to help me figure out how to tell him about this so that I can get his cooperation and support. ”

Wang Baocheng asked, "How do you know that he will definitely disagree?"

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "I don't have any basis, but my perception is like this. Because he is a man who always likes to think about himself, unlike you who always like to think about others. ”

Wang Baocheng thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you can talk to him openly and honestly, if he really doesn't want to, then I will accompany you." ”

Zhong Xiaoxian immediately said, "I'm glad to have your words, but I can't let anyone go." ”

Wang Baocheng asked puzzledly, "Why can everyone else go, but I can't go?"

Zhong Xiaoxian said earnestly, "Your father has been gone for a long time, and your mother has been doing odd jobs outside for many years in order to support you, and she has worked hard and pitifully, and now I am finally looking forward to your graduation from college, and you are going to work, so that your mother can live a good life." However, if you go, not only will you not be able to earn money for your mother to support the family, but it will increase your mother's burden. So, I won't let you go anyway, and then the whole Agency will curse me to death. ”

Wang Baocheng said, "But I can't let you go there alone." That would make Principal Huang and Aunt Yang very uneasy, and your parents would never agree to it. ”

Listening to Wang Baocheng's words, Zhong Xiaoxian said, "Then I'll go to Li Yunxiang and have a good talk." ”
