Neighbor's Daughter (novella) Zhang Baotong

Luo Yuxiu opened the pencil case and was about to take out a pencil to write her homework, when she saw a black caterpillar crawling in the pencil case. She screamed in fright. Wang Baocheng saw that she was scared like this by the caterpillar, so he laughed and took the caterpillar out of her pencil case wrapped in paper and threw it outside the classroom.

At this time, someone said to Luo Yuxiu that the caterpillar was put in by Wang Baocheng. So, Luo Yuxiu told Mr. Lin about it. Mr. Lin called Wang Baocheng to the office and asked, "Why do you put caterpillars in someone else's pencil case?" Wang Baocheng said, "I didn't put the caterpillars." Luo Yuxiu said, "Don't admit it, someone has seen it with their own eyes." Wang Baocheng felt that he had helped her do a good deed, but she was falsely accused, so he cried aggrievedly and said, "Teacher, I really didn't let the caterpillar go." ”

Teacher Lin knew that Wang Baocheng never lied, and since he said that he didn't put the caterpillar, he definitely wouldn't have put it, so he said to Luo Yuxiu and Wang Baocheng, "I want to investigate this matter seriously." With that, he let them go.

After dinner, Luo's father asked his daughter to call Wang Baocheng to come over and play chess with him. But Luo Yuxiu said with a calm face, "I just ignored him." Luo's father asked his daughter, "What's wrong?

Luo Yuxiu said, "He put the caterpillar in my pencil case and still didn't admit it." Luo's father immediately said, "Have you wronged someone? Why did he put the caterpillar in your pencil case?" Go, call him to me. ”

Luo Yuxiu pouted and came to the next door, and saw that Wang Baocheng was about to go out with a racket, so he said to him, "My dad called you." Wang Baocheng said, "No." But the queen mother shouted, "A big director called you, you said you wouldn't go?" Wang Baocheng didn't dare to say anything, so he threw the racket on the table and came to Luo's house angrily.

Wang Baocheng entered Luo's house, and Luo's father had already set up the chess. Wang Baocheng didn't say anything, so he sat opposite Luo's father. When Father Luo saw Wang Baocheng's pouting and hanging face, he said to him, "Child, don't be angry, I just told Yingzi a beating." Wang Baocheng said, "I didn't put the caterpillars." As he spoke, he waved his head cannon and waited for Luo's father to respond.

played three games of chess, and as a result, Wang Baocheng won completely, and then said that he wanted to go back to do his homework, and left. Luo's father said to Luo's mother, "This kid is angry today, and he didn't give me face at all." Luo Yuxiu said on the side, "You deserve it, don't you want to please him?" Luo's mother said to her daughter, "How can you talk to your father? ”

Luo's father said to his daughter, "Go and study, people are learning." But Luo Yuxiu said, "He was studying, he went to school to play." Luo Mu said, "You don't care if people play or not, they have higher scores than you in every exam." Luo Yuxiu was unhappy and said, "I am the squad leader, how much worry I have to worry about, he is nothing, of course I don't have to worry." ”

Luo Yuxiu went to study in the back room, and her father closed the door of the back room and sat in the living room with her mother watching TV. After a while, his father said to his mother, "I think this child will be prosperous in the future." The mother also said, "Look how handsome and clever this child is." I just like it. How good it would be to be a son-in-law for our son when I grow up in the future!" said the father, "If only that were the case." I think this kid is honest, sensible, and obedient. I won't let our Yingzi be wronged. The mother said, "How can this little spirit of our family suffer his grievances?" said him, and both of them laughed. Although Luo Yuxiu was doing her homework in the back room, the sound of talking and TV in the outhouse could still be heard. Listening to her parents say this, she laughed herself.

Hearing that his parents were going to let him be her son-in-law in the future, Luo Yuxiu regarded Wang Baocheng as his little lover in his heart. Because she knows that her son-in-law is a woman's lover.

That morning, when she saw him walking alone on his way to school, she ran to him and stuffed him with two pieces of toffee. He took the candy and said happily, "It's still creamy." Luo Yuxiu said, "You have to listen to me in the future." Wang Baocheng asked, "Why?" Luo Yuxiu wanted to say that you would be my little son-in-law in the future, but she couldn't say this, so she said, "Because I'm the squad leader." As soon as Wang Baocheng heard this, he immediately returned the toffee to her, saying, "That's not good, what if you wronged me?" and walked away quickly. Luo Yuxiu was very angry, and said in her heart: I didn't let him be his son-in-law, he was not obedient at all.

When she arrived at the school, Teacher Lin asked her to collect the money for the spring outing, 20 yuan per person. However, Wang Baocheng was the only one in the class who did not pay. Teacher Lin asked Wang Shucheng in class why he didn't pay the money. Wang Baocheng replied, "My mother said there was no money. Teacher Lin knew that Wang Baocheng's father died of a work-related injury and his mother was doing odd jobs outside, so he didn't say anything more.

Hearing that he was going to visit the airport for this spring outing, Wang Baocheng asked his mother for money when he got home, but his mother said that he had no money. Wang Baocheng cried and quarreled with his mother. His mother was angry and beat him. Luo Yuxiu passed by in front of Wang's house, heard Wang Baocheng's cry, pushed open the door, and saw that the queen mother was beating Wang Baocheng with a bamboo stick, and there were red blood marks on her arms. She couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart, because she already saw him as a part of her. So, she shouted to the Queen Mother, "Why are you beating people?"

The queen mother stopped and explained to Luo Yuxiu, "I only earned that amount of money from odd jobs for a month, plus his father's pension, life is so stressful, but he is still crying and asking for money to go on a spring outing." Luo Yuxiu said, "Then you can't beat him either." The spring outing was organized by the school, and the whole school could go there, so why couldn't he go?" and then she added, "He's already pitiful enough at your house." The clothes he wore were shabby and old, and he couldn't even eat a piece of toffee all year round. But he was the first in the class every time he took the exam. That's it, you're going to hit him. As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry.

Hearing this, Wang Baocheng cried out loud. The queen mother can beat her son casually, but she still values the daughter of the Luo family. When she saw Luo Yuxiu crying, she picked up a towel to wipe her tears and said, "My family is poor, and I can't be like other people's families." Luo Yuxiu said, "Wang Baocheng didn't pay the money in the entire fourth grade, and you made him lose face in front of his classmates." The Queen Mother sighed for a while, then went into the inner room, took out twenty yuan from the box, handed it to Luo Yuxiu, and said, "Give this money to the teacher." ”
