Chapter 21: A New Turnaround
The woman cried and said, "You are my son, don't say such irresponsible things, if this thing gets out, our family will be finished, and you don't want your job." Did you hear that?"
I glanced in the direction of the toilet, and the sound of water inside kept constantly, so I guess I couldn't hear her, right?
After I don't know how long, it finally quieted down outside.
Zheng Yusheng also came out, his eyes were red, and his face was very calm. I hesitated and didn't know whether to persuade or not, but he waved his hand to prevent me from speaking, grabbed my arm, pushed hard, and there was a crisp sound, I shouted, my arm was much more comfortable, and I was taken back at once.
Zheng Yusheng said: "Okay, don't be in such a hurry next time, break your arm, I'm not by your side, you're going to be unlucky." ”
I reluctantly smiled, "Okay, thank you, doctor." ”
"It's okay, I'm going to work. Tell me if you need anything. Oh yes, there's a baggage in the bedroom that is something for me to give you, don't dislike it, I care about what my classmates want. ”
Zheng Yusheng walked outside as he spoke, and I sent him to the gate.
I was a little conflicted and didn't know whether to persuade him, or pretend not to understand the meaning of the conversation between the two people, Zheng Yusheng smiled and patted me on the shoulder at this time: "Don't be nervous, I know what you have to say, I am also a doctor, I have read a lot of books, I know my own problems, all in the past." You too, all suffering will pass. ”
"Well, you'll be fine. ”
"Of course I'll be fine. There's something I've given you on the bed in the back room. Check it out. I went to work. He said that he was done and left.
He is also a person who has experienced very bad things, he is strong and alive, and I can do it too.
I slapped myself in the mouth in hatred, I was so stupid that I couldn't say anything.
When I returned to the hut, I saw a leather bag, which was full of girls' clothes.
I sat there and opened them one by one to see that these were some nice looking clothes, of good quality. Some of them are a bit big, but after a while, I can wear them, and some of them don't even have their tags off. His popularity must be very good. I wonder if there will be any clothes for the girls he likes?
I dangled my clothes in front of the mirror, and when I saw these beautiful clothes, my mood improved.
With these clothes, I don't have to spend money.
My heart is filled with gratitude. But thinking about Dr. Zheng's story, I feel a little sad. He's a really good guy.
Why are the good people in the world often very unlucky?
I suddenly thought of myself again.
I can't always rely on other people's help to survive. How on earth can I repay those who help me? I also miss my brother and worry that he is not doing well, my mother has to work, and if no one helps her, will my brother be able to do it alone?
All this mess came into my head and it was upsetting.
No, I can't go back at this time, my mom will definitely be even more cruel to me.
I'm going to hold on for a while, and I won't go back unless she promises me that I'm not pushing me anymore.
"Brother, sister is sorry for you, wait for me any longer. ”
I stayed in the hotel for four days in a row, and my arm gradually improved.
My mom never came to the school again to look for me when I didn't exist. Dr. Zheng did not come to the hotel either. I was a loner and used to such a peaceful life.
In the class, Jiang Yingying completely ignored me, and even had some resentment in it.
I didn't pay attention to her, and I didn't mean to comfort her, to get closer to her. I haven't had any family relationship with her in my life, and she doesn't look down on me at all, so I don't want to be slapped in the face on the pole myself.
The girls around Jiang Yingying were treating me coldly, never calling me for exercises and going to the toilet, and letting me be alone.
I don't feel anything, it's just a bunch of elementary school students, and they think ignoring me is the biggest punishment, right? Hehe, I don't care.
As for Liao Gang, he is probably angry with me and has not come to me. I think that's good. I know it's a tragedy, but of course I have to avoid it.
Because the primary school ends early, I am not in a hurry to go home, but now I am looking for paper shells or foam near the school, which are more expensive and can be sold for a dollar and a catty. In winter, there are fewer people who drink drinks. But if someone throws a beer bottle or something, I'll pick it up for five cents a piece.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "You, you really don't care what others think of you?"
I smiled faintly: "Why do you care about this? If I really cared, I guess I wouldn't be able to live a long time since my mother came to school to beat me up a few times." At this stage, my face is not important, what matters is to survive. ”
Liu Yu watched me pack up a large bag of paper shells and waste paper with his hands behind his back, and reached out to help me, but I refused.
"You go play, I'll do it myself. It's not good to let people talk about you. ”
"Good. I'm gone, you... You. "He ruffled my hair. I smiled and put my messy hair back together. I'm staying in the hotel now, I can take a shower every day, and my hair is much better. I used to wash my hair only once a week, but my mom started scolding me for wasting shampoo.
I had to sneak a cold water shower. And I have to burn the stove every day, and the ashes of the stove fly everywhere, and the hair can't be seen that day. It always gives a feeling of being dusty.
Now I wash my hair every day, so I feel comfortable too.
Liu Yu looked at me and smiled, "It's getting better." ”
"Thanks, I'm leaving. "I took the garbage to the nearby uncle who collected rags to pay back the money, these things can be sold for about one yuan a day, I can buy two steamed buns, and occasionally buy some mustard.
When the weather gets hot, I think I can buy some cucumbers and tomatoes. Actually, I know that I can't eat like this, but I'm really reluctant to spend money, and the school has been paying more and more frequently recently.
Today I want three yuan, tomorrow I want ten yuan, and I have to pay my graduation certificate, application fee or something. It's a big burden.
The little money in hand, if you eat, it is estimated that you will not have it for a few days.
I was a little nervous when I was doing recess this day, and I was a little nervous, could it be that my mother was here again? She led me into a corner and said to me, "Do you want to make some money?"
I quickly said, "Yes, as long as I can do it, I will." ”
"It's the cafeteria that lacks a washing room, and from Monday to Friday, you can come and work for an hour at noon every day. I'll give you six hundred dollars a month if you're working for an hour after school. ”
I looked at her in surprise: "Really?"
"It's true, and I'll find you a place, which is a small warehouse behind the cafeteria, and you can stay in it after changing it. Ever since I found out about you, I've consulted with the school leaders, and they all feel the need to separate you from your mother. I also hope that your mother can go to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, but the reality is too difficult to do. ”
I smiled, "I don't have to think about this basically. ”
My mom treats others very normally, otherwise she wouldn't have been sweeping the way outside. She was also gentle with her brother and would only go crazy with me and my dad.
The principal said: "You can move here this Saturday, you do a good job, don't lose confidence because of some practical things, I will definitely help you as much as possible." ”
"Thank you so much!" I bowed to her gratefully. Some people are really good. In my previous life, I didn't dare to say anything, so I lost a lot of opportunities to save myself.
With this 600 yuan a month's money, as well as free accommodation, I have confidence. Plus I can go and hand out a flyer, I think the future will be much better!
I feel like I'm going to go to heaven, and I'm going to graduate from elementary school in a few months, so I hope to save more money and then save up for junior high school as soon as possible.
When I returned to class, the teacher had a rare chance of stopping me and asking me what the principal had said to me.
She didn't care about me all the time, and when something happened that day, she also wanted to cooperate with my mother to kick me out. So I didn't believe her very much, and I didn't tell the truth, just said that the principal was worried that I would be beaten and asked a few words
The teacher snorted: "You kid is quite lucky, the money you paid these times was given to you by the principal, right?"
I don't speak, I keep my head down, very shy.
"I don't care if you're difficult, but there is a sentence to tell you in advance, you must not pull grades for the class in this exam, the previous times were the penultimate first, and I was scolded a few times, this time you have a point in your heart, if you continue to do this, I can't let you hand in the paper next time." She said and left.
I looked at the teacher's back, this is the reason why she is reluctant to ask me, it lowers the average score of the class, so that she can't raise her salary, I am confident that I can do a good job in the exam, I don't want to be driven away by the teacher.
In any case, what I didn't expect was that when I got out of school, I saw my parents at the school gate, and I saw them from a distance.
My mother must have dressed up deliberately, wearing a pale yellow cotton coat, a red scarf, a pair of black cotton leather shoes on her feet, and her hair was neatly combed.
It's a pity that it's already March, it's not very cold, few people wear cotton clothes, her body is too conspicuous, and she is old.
My dad was dressed up as always. In appearance, these two people look like a mother and son.
I walked over, my mom gritted her teeth and glared at me, and several times she tried to come and beat me, but my dad stopped me.
"Don't go crazy here!" my dad whispered, looking around, "Nonsense, I'll just leave!Absolutely no matter you!" My mom could only grit her teeth and stand aside, her eyes releasing raging anger.
