Chapter Thirty-Eight: Bai Endeavor (1)

I remember when I was in junior high school, one of my classmates had a slight intellectual disability. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he is no different from the rest of us, laughing and playing all day long, everything is as usual. I remember when I was a child, I used to go with him to the food stall behind the school to buy freshly fried radish cakes, and he ate his mouth full of oil, and told me with a smile that it tasted like meat.

The only thing is that he always takes the top three from the bottom, and no matter how hard he tries, he never gets out of the bottom of the fate. I watched his grandmother come to school to bring him food, check his homework book, and ask him if he was listening to the lectures.

At that time, I was the representative of the math class, and once when I went to the office to pick up a notebook, I heard his grandmother discussing his learning with the teacher.

After the old man left full of hope, I heard the head teacher turn his head and sigh to the Chinese teacher in the next class: "Alas... Don't the family know that his intelligence can't be improved no matter how much he learns... It's better to find a suitable career and learn a craft as soon as possible, which is better than not being able to read. ”

At the time, I didn't understand why this was happening. I think when we were younger, we all felt that if we worked hard, we would succeed, and this is the truth that all inspirational movies and books tell us.

But when I saw him frowning his little eyebrows, biting the tip of his pen for a long time, barely scraping together a 500-word essay that was still full of sentences like "The weather is fine today, let's go on an outing...", I also couldn't understand why he couldn't learn the simplest three-paragraph composition. Why is it that after talking about a math problem three times, he says he understands it, and then he can't do it again after changing the constants a little.

I don't think I can understand him, I don't pity him, because pity is a condescending gesture. I just couldn't understand his feelings, but that didn't stop me from having fun with him after class, and it didn't stop us from eating fried radish cakes with oil all over our hands.

Seeing Bai Endeavor reminds me of this junior high school classmate. I don't think he's just a kid trapped in an adult's body. He's a little kid who has gone through everything an adult would go through, and I don't know what will happen to his mind in it.

Therefore, I treated him as an ordinary person, and made an objective observation of him to determine what role he played in the whole incident in Wangxing Village.

I met Bai Endeavor again, it should be on the day Cen and Bai came back.

I saw the tall light again, and walked towards the entrance of the village by the side of a middle-aged woman with a steady footstep. He seemed very excited, and kept talking happily to the people around him.

"Mom, look at my collarβ€”" The man ran up to the woman, bent down, and tried to reach the back of his neck with one arm.

"What's the matter, itchy, just bear with it." Bai Mu stretched out her hand and scratched it for him, but she didn't stop.

"No, Mom, you can help me take a look, is the collar messed up?" He dragged the white mother, and bent down to show her his ownβ€”a shirt with a collar based on the silhouette and cuffs.

Bai Mu stopped his hurried footsteps and carefully checked him back and forth. "No problem, my son is handsome!"

"That's good." Bai Fenjin stood up again and followed his mother towards the entrance of the village, "I... I want to dress up a little better, the fawn is coming back. Yesterday's train, back today. Well. ”

"yes." Bai Mu was obviously also very happy, "When the time comes, you will have to help your sister more and help her carry her luggage." When you meet people, you have to be polite, you have to say hello, remember? ”

"Uh-huh!" He nodded happily.

I followed the mother and son to the entrance of the village, where the three lights were standing at the intersection that had now been blocked by barricades. Xiaolu was the first to see them, turned his head and said to Cen Xiao next to him, and then waved at them: "Mom! Elder brother! ”

"Fawn!" The tall man screamed and ran over, leaving the white mother behind. He stood in front of Bai Yuelu, looked down at his talented and intelligent sister, and his voice was full of excitement: "Xiaolu, you're back!" ”

"I'm back, brother!" Xiaolu hurriedly introduced to Cen Xiao: "This is my brother, Bai Endeavour, you just tell him to Endeavour." Endeavour, this is my colleague and my good friend Cen Xiao. ”

Bai Fenjin looked at Cen Xiao for a while, and then timidly raised a hand and waved at her, "Hello, Cen Xiao, I, my name is Bai Fenfen." Then he wrung his fingers and looked at her a little shyly.

I guess Bai Yuelu must have told Cen Xiao about Bai Endeavor before. The older woman also waved at him very decently, and said gently, "Hello, Bai Fenfen." ”

The tall man let out a small "hee-hee" sound.

A few people exchanged a few more greetings, and Bai Mu spoke: "Come on, come on, go home and sit down first, Mom burned a big table of dishes, Xiao Cen, you also come together, hey, everyone is a colleague, just treat Xiaolu's family as your own home in the future." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." Cen Xiao thanked her politely, but Bai Yuelu next to her took the opportunity to rub her elbow with her arm, "That's it, just treat it as your own home." ”

Cen Xiao still maintained the posture just now, and did not make much movement.

"By the way, how will you live when the time comes?" Generally, mothers are most concerned about the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and of course the white mother is also like this.

"Oh, it turns out that there are a few small houses on the mountain, and after the land acquisition, it was converted into a staff dormitory for the observatory, and we live there." Bai Yuelu replied.

"Oh, I don't live at home. How nice it is to live at home, and close. The White Mother muttered.

"Oops, Mom." Bai Yuelu dragged out his voice and grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm. "Not all the people sent are from our village, there are regulations above, they must live in the staff dormitory."

"What's more," she said, "I live at home, what should I do if I let Cen Xiao live alone in the mountains?" People are my leaders! ”

Bai Mu was speechless by her, so she had to reluctantly agree with "okay, okay". "But you have to go home often to eat, and tell your mother what you want to eat."

"Don't worry~"

The three people, except for the mother and daughter, marched in silence all the way. I could see that Bai Endeavor was obviously very excited, and wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't interject. In addition, he secretly glanced at Cen Xiao a few times.

"By the way, how is my brother doing?" Bai Yuelu glanced up at her eldest brother, but the question was for her mother.

"He's fine," Bai's mother reached out and touched her son's arm, "He recently helped Uncle Jia pack up the goods, move boxes or something, which can be regarded as a serious job, and he even got two thousand yuan last month." ”

"Yes!" Bai Fenjin immediately said happily, "Give... Buy good food for the fawn. ”

The fawn seemed to be at a loss for a moment, before looking up at him and saying, "Thank you." ”

Soon, we came to the door of the Bai family.
