Chapter 9: You Stole My Gold Necklace
It was the summer of the fourth grade, and the temporary substitute class teacher said to me, "Did you steal Huang Xiaojin's mother's gold necklace?"
Hearing this, I was confused, "What? I stole his mother's necklace?"
"Did you go to his house a few days ago to play? and took her gold necklace? As long as you return it, the teacher will not tell your parents, nor will she send you to the political and educational office!
"I didn't take it, I don't believe you can go through my bag!" I said aggrievedly.
"Then you can go back first!" said the temporary substitute head teacher helplessly.
I wasn't in class that day, how could I be slandered as a thief when I went to Huang Xiaojin's house to play? Is it because my reputation is not good?
Huang Xiaojin is also a transfer student, in class four (2), in a chance meeting after school, forgot why they talked about something, asked each other's names, and then walked home from school together. Then I found that we went home and walked the same road, and there were common problems along the way, and when we returned to the compound, we found that it was a small partner who rented a house and lived on the other side of the compound, and I felt that we were very close to each other. When I was a child, it was a common thing to visit the house, and soon after, he often went to my house to play video game consoles, playing games like "Contra", "Bruce Lee", and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Sometimes I would go to his house and I happened to go into his room at noon to play hide and seek, but I was sure that I didn't take his mother's gold necklace.
Later, his parents also asked me if I had taken her gold necklace, or if it was because of Huang Xiaojin's strong assurance that his parents would not go to the political and educational office and file a complaint with my parents. But I'm also sullen.
His parents saw that I had too much pocket money, and I could be a person who stole chickens and dogs. How do elementary school students sell gold necklaces, in the words of their parents, I stole the necklace and gave it to my parents. Perhaps through the neighbors to understand the background of my family's situation, they think that my family is poor and poor, and they have to do this kind of unseemly business.
"Your father is retired, and the family has no savings, and you took the necklace back to your parents to pawn it, I can understand!" Huang Xiaojin's father said to me in an affirmative tone, and at that time I was like a fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered. All I could say was, "You go to the police, it's better to scan your fingerprints, I don't know where your gold necklace is, I've been in the room, but I haven't turned over anything! I can swear" I looked at his father and said, wiping tears of grievance with my red scarf.
Sometimes I really feel too tired to live, and there are always unsatisfactory things coming to me.
Huang Xiaojin's mother still pushed me, looking like she would not give up, and insisted that I had stolen her gold necklace. Is it true that a person like me was born as inferior and looked down upon?
Kindness to the world, only to be mercilessly slapped in the face. People who think that all living beings are good, but I saw in their family that at that time I thought that the world was dark, upside down. I didn't dare tell my parents about stealing the gold necklace, because I knew that they thought I had stolen it.
Time proves that the gold necklace was finally found at the end of the semester, and Huang Xiaojin's gold necklace was still in the mezzanine of his mother's handbag, because her mother's handbag was rotten, and the gold necklace fell into the gap.
What about apologies to me? No. Have you explained the situation to the acting class teacher? No.
I've never felt anything like this, and although I've never done it, my daily fear is that I will be sent to the political and educational office by the temporary substitute class teacher, and I am also afraid of facing the strange eyes of the temporary substitute class teacher. What's more, he also said this matter without naming it at the class meeting, and the classmates in the class looked at each other suspiciously at the place where the temporary substitute class teacher was looking. Did the temporary substitute head teacher clarify afterwards? Or maybe he always thought I stole the gold necklace!
The casual behavior of adults affects the life of children, and they are like children playing with mud and sand, and they are noisy with children's play.
I also stayed away from Huang Xiaojin during the downturn, and I resented his family. It is not surprising that the friends in the compound know about this gold necklace, and they are wary of me going to their house everywhere, for fear that I will be able to take something with me after I go.
Things have diluted over time, and the results have been buried with the years. I still think I'm a bad kid with dirty hands and feet. From then on, I wanted to have someone who could trust me unconditionally, someone I could really snuggle up to, someone who could tell her that I was really unhappy.
Asi, as mentioned earlier, his eldest brother is also a gangster. Seeing that I have a lot of pocket money, he is also changing his ways to lie to me.
I believe that the young men of the post-80s generation are no strangers to solitaire, right? The cards mentioned here are not poker. It is the size of a matchbox, the paper is softer than poker, and the front is printed with patterns such as Transformers and gourd babies, and the back is a text introduction. For us as children, cards were all the rage. At that time, most young boys carried a large handful of cards in their pockets, and when someone got a card with a new pattern printed on it, they would take it out and show it off. Every holiday or rest day, children can often be seen in the courtyard playing cards together, playing for an hour, and some even have a "battle" for half a day.
There are several ways to play this card, you can play, you can shoot, you can blow, in short, the purpose of playing cards is to win the cards in the hands of others through your own skills.
At that time, playing cards was defined as a disguised gambling by the school, the teacher saw a confiscation of a bunch, saw a pile of confiscation, as a result of which everyone could only engage in "underground work", keep a low profile in the campus, do not take out the cards, but out of the school gate, the children who could not hold back still played freely.
My first pile of cards was bought by my second sister. I remember very well, it was from the Transformers series, there were more than 50 of them. At first, I was afraid of losing, so I spread the cards on the floor every day and played them myself, but even so, I couldn't put it down. In the end, I really felt bored, so I went to find friends or children I didn't know to win and play with each other.
Ah Xi's eldest brother is called Ah Dong, and when I was in the fourth grade, he was already in junior high school. One day I went to his house to play, and when he saw that his brother had lost so much, he offered to play "Sangong" with me, and the bet was solitaire. When I was a child, I didn't think so much, and I didn't know that playing cards could make a lot of money. At the end of the afternoon, I somehow lost a million cards.
According to more than 30 cards for 3 cents, I lost 120 yuan at that time. I can't take it out, and I can only have bitterness that I can't say. Every time Ah Dong saw me, he called me to return the cards to him, and if he didn't give them, he told my father that he knew. Until sixth grade, I was still threatening and intimidating me.
The reason for my weak personality is why, there are always people who pinch me as a soft persimmon. That's what I'm now.
Will someone tell me where to go?
