Chapter 23: Li Yuanze (2)

Still unconvinced, he shouted, "Who let him starve me?" I asked him suspiciously, "Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it?" and he said, "You let me go first." I sat on him and smoked a cigarette leisurely: "Do you think you can negotiate terms with me now?" He hesitated for a while, and said unconvinced: "That day I went to the cafeteria to eat, and then I plugged in front of him, when I swiped the card, he squeezed away and I also pressed my card to the machine, and then my card was swiped, but my aunt asked me to line up again in the back, and then gave him food, our school's meal card can only be swiped once per meal, so I have no food for that meal." I said, "That's when you cut the line." Unconvinced, he shouted, "We never line up for dinner!" I asked suspiciously, "We're not the only one, come, tell me, who else." He hesitated and muttered quietly, "I told you that you didn't know each other." I nodded: "Yes, I don't know, but your teachers do." He didn't speak again, as if he knew that resistance would not get him up, so he simply lay on his stomach and hugged the grass intimately.

I saw that he was silent, and I said again: "Come, give you a chance, as long as you can stand up, I will help you carry it down." He muttered, "Don't you just rely on your strength to be stronger than me?" I smiled and patted him on the head: "Then don't you just rely on others to be honest? He was silent again. I asked him, "What's the situation with the fight?" and he said stubbornly, "My brother has been beaten, I will definitely help." I smiled and said, "Heh, my brother has been beaten, how old are you, do you know what a brother is, do you know what a brother is?" He didn't speak, and I continued: "Come, I'll give you a chance, you often do this kind of thing by skipping class anyway, you go and call your group of brothers now, just say that you were beaten, don't say that I am your uncle, you see how they are." After I finished speaking, I stood up and patted the grass on my body, he quickly got up, patted the grass on my body too, pointed at me and shouted as he ran, "You are waiting for me here!" I sat down at the stone table and lit a cigarette and pointed at him: "Go quickly, I am your own uncle, where else can I run." ”

After a while, he called seven or eight of his classmates, and he stood in front of me and said to me, "Aren't you awesome, come on." I stood up, put my arms around his neck, pressed him down on the stone table, sat down on top of him again, and cried out, "Come and help me!" The group of children was about to move, and I took out a cigarette from my pocket, put it in my mouth, and said to his "good brothers", "Give him a chance, either get out of here, or come and help him." The group of children looked at each other, I stood up and pulled Li Yuanze up from the table, kicked him in the stomach again, walked to the trash can and extinguished the cigarette butts. My eyes swept to the group of children, and I walked slowly towards them, saying as I went, "You, are you not leaving?" and the children ran towards the school building. I pulled him up from the ground, patted him on the dirt and asked, "This is your 'good brother'?" He turned his head unconvinced, I took him outside the school gate again, found a bubble tea shop to sit in, we each ordered a cup of milk tea, I said to him, "You see." I took out my mobile phone and called the landlord, turned on the speakerphone, and the landlord said impatiently: "What's the matter, if you have something to say, let it go." I said slowly, "Something happened to me, and now I want 100,000 yuan." After saying that, I gave the address to the landlord, and the landlord still said impatiently: "I'm busy, I'm not free, I'll just transfer it to you." After speaking, he hung up the phone, Li Yuanze looked at me with some incomprehension, I took out a cigarette and lit it, he kept staring at my cigarette, I handed it over, and said: "This is outside the school, anyway, it's not the first time for you, the cigarette box says that smoking is harmful to health, you are still so young, you decide for yourself." He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't reach out his hand, just swallowed.

After a while, the landlord's car appeared at the door of the bubble tea shop, he hurriedly ran in, and said to me angrily: "You kid, just toss me like this, I was still shopping with QQ just now, there is a limit on mobile phone transfers, I brought you a card, you can do it yourself." I pulled him to sit down and explained to him, and he punched me: "You're all bored, you have nothing to do with me!" I looked at him with a smile and punched him: "Please eat." After the landlord scolded and left, I took the card and said to Li Yuanze: "See, what do you mean by brother." "At our age, what brothers are not brothers is too vain, as we get older, there are fewer and fewer friends around us, and time filters out a lot, but what is left is true love. It's not that I have a good relationship with the landlord, it's just that I know that he has it, and the 100,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for him, and he will help me if I need it, but I have to let Li Yuanze know what a friend is.

He looked at the card in my hand, and I continued: "Look at your brothers, you were beaten in front of them, and they didn't dare to put a fart, and I only needed a word, and he didn't even ask why." "To tell the truth, a child is still a child, no matter how mature his mind is, he can still be easily fooled with little social experience. Li Yuanze was silent, and I continued to ask: "Let's be honest, what's the situation." ”

He pointed to the cigarette: "Give me one, I'll tell you." I pushed the cigarette over: "I said, you are still young, but you also have the right to choose." He lit one and spoke slowly: " In our county, eleven people came to this school, on the night we first came, we were all charged protection money by the local students of the second year of junior high school, and also let a few local students of the first year of junior high school supervise us, if we sue the teacher, they beat us, two people really went to tell the teacher, and then the second junior high school was called to the office to scold, and then the punishment was given, that night the two people were beaten in the dormitory toilet, and then they told the teacher about the beating the next day, and the students of the second year of junior high school were driven home, but the first few were still in school, and then the group of people in the first year of junior high school also pulled those two people to the toilet and beat them, Those two people don't dare to sue the teacher anymore, and now those two people are called by the first year of junior high school all day long to run errands for them, get food and buy snacks or something, I'm also scared, and I have to give them money every month, I don't want to, and then one day that group of people outside the school was blocked by people outside the school, and then they came to the school to pull people to fill the scene for them, and then I went, and then I said I wanted to follow them, and then I didn't have to be bullied, and after I joined them, eleven of us were never bullied by local students again. ”

I nodded and asked, "Do you know the cost of making a deal with the devil?" He shook his head, and I added: "Nietzsche, you know, there is a saying that 'those who fight monsters should be careful not to become monsters, and when you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also stare at you', do you think there is any difference between the way you are now and the people who bullied you in the first place?" He shook his head: "I don't care, I just hope I don't get bullied." I asked, "So you're going to bully people?" He was silent, and I continued, "I'll tell you how, after school this week, you ask out the group of people who are bullying you." ”

On Friday, my landlord and Lin drove three cars to a dilapidated building near the school, and he came over with the group, and I waved my hand at him: "You still haven't come?" He hesitated for a moment, ran quickly to us, and I asked, "Who bullied my nephew?" No one in the group of children answered, so I said to Li Yuanze again: "Who bullied you, how did you bully you, you can beat me back, I will see who dares to move." Li Yuanze hesitated for a while, but still walked over, found a person who was not as strong as him and slapped him, I also walked over and slapped Li Yuanze: "I told you to fight back, you pick the weakest one for me." Li Yuanze looked at me hesitantly, then looked at the tallest one of them, took a breath, kicked over, and asked, "What should they do if they retaliate against you when they go back to school?" He lowered his head and did not speak, and the group of children looked at him angrily, but no one dared to make a move, and I said again: "Do you think they are convinced by this kick? What should I do when I go back to school and do the same as before?" He still lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and rushed over to hit the person who had just been kicked by him, Li Yuanze was crazy and kicked him one by one while roaring, I stopped him: "Okay, you must be measured." He calmed down, I lit a cigarette and walked towards the car, saying as I went: "Let's go, remember, if anyone bullies you in the future, you will bully back, and if you can't beat me, call me, but if you let me know that you bully others again, I will bully you as much as you bully others." ”

This sentence is not only to tell him, but also to warn the group of children.

After this incident, Li Yuanze seems to have gradually become lively, his grades have gradually improved, and he has not been bullied anymore, and the school has not complained to me again, nor has he stayed with that group of delinquent teenagers.

Luo Luo also complained to us for a long time after he found out, saying that a group of us adults are still messing around, Li Yuanze knows that Luo Luo is the person who loves him the most in the bar, so every time I have something to say, I will report to Luo Luo, and he also seems to know that I am a little afraid of Luo Luo, so I also have a handle to be pinched to death by him. Luo Luo was also happy to do this, because Li Yuanze secretly called her aunt behind his back, although he was beaten many times by me because of this.

Parent-teacher conferences are basically every student's nightmare, with the exception of the exceptions, of course, that are particularly good. Now, as I approach my final year, I am also beginning to fear this nightmare. For my nephew Li Yuanze, he has listened to me very much since that time, and his performance in school is not particularly good, but he is also decent and a little motivated. But the shadow left by my childhood still makes me a little scared of this nightmare.

More than a month before the end of the semester, Li Yuanze's mood has changed somewhat, he picks him up every week after school either if the three of us have time, and if he doesn't have time, he will take the bus to the bar by himself, every time he comes to the bar to chat with us, Luo Luo also comes to the bar very early every Friday to tutor him in his homework, but during that time he has a strange feeling, I can see it, Luo Luo also sees it.
