Tu Xiaoxun's family lives on West Street in the LC District, where a building was built with funds raised by state-owned enterprises decades ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, after decades of wind and rain, the building has long been old and dilapidated, the conditions and facilities are very simple and shabby, and most of the residents have moved out if they have the conditions.

Most of the rest are old residents from poor family conditions who still live here, and the rest of the vacant houses are rented out cheaply to college graduates or migrant workers.

At night, there are no street lights in the community, and the walkways inside are also potholes, and bicycles and tricycles are bumpy and unusually bumpy, not to mention cars.

Tu Xiaoxun's family of four lived on the second floor, and they were originally crammed into a two-bedroom house of only about 60 square meters.

Before going to high school, Tu Xiaoxun and his grandfather were in a room, sleeping in a bed, eating as a family, and doing his homework in a small living room of five square meters.

Later, the neighbor next door moved out of the house and vacated it, in order to let Tu Xiaoxun have a separate room and a quiet learning environment, his father rented the neighbor's house at a low price, and his grandfather moved in and has lived until now.

Tu Xiaoxun locked the tricycle under the corridor, and when he went upstairs into the house, he smelled a pungent fragrance.

There are already several dishes on the table, which are more sumptuous, chicken, duck and fish and other meats that are usually not eaten, and Dad Tu Tiancheng is stir-frying in the kitchen, and Mom washes her hands to help.

Dad seems to have something happy today, the wrinkles of the Sichuan character on his forehead that usually leave traces of time and frost like a knife have stretched a lot, and the dark, rough and old Chinese character face also has a little smile.

"Dad, what's the good thing, look at how happy you look?"

Tu Xiaoxun stole his mouth, picked up a piece of meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

The kitchen was too small, so he stood at the door and watched his father pick up the pot and stir-fry, and he looked like a chef.

Tu Tiancheng grinned but didn't reply, just smiled: "Tu Tu, go and call grandpa to come over for dinner!" ”

"Oh!"

Tu Xiaoxun was quite curious about his father's actions today, and when he went out and came to the next door, he saw that his grandfather was about to go out with a box of cakes.

"Grandpa, you bought the cake?"

Grandpa is now in his seventies, there are no major illnesses, but there are more minor illnesses, and he often gets sick, and as soon as he enters the hospital, he is required by the doctor to be hospitalized.

In order to save some money for the family, many times the grandfather is very stubborn and reluctant to go to the hospital, and he buys medicine and comes back to eat, and the family can't do anything about him.

Carrying the cake out of the door, grandpa said: "Today is your eighteenth birthday, this is a very important day, but also the day of your adulthood, although the results of this college entrance examination are not ideal, but this is the most important transition in your life, naturally to live, but also to live ceremoniously, grandpa hopes you can be happy, don't be affected by this incident!" ”

"Thank you, grandpa!" Tu Xiaoxun's eyes were slightly red.

Grandpa said earnestly: "Tu Tu will become an adult soon, he will be stronger in the future, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, let's enter the house!" ”

Tu Xiaoxun was born by caesarean section at 0:00 a.m. by his mother, Zhang Fen, according to the elders of the lunar calendar, his birthday should be counted as today, but according to the modern Western calendar, it is tomorrow.

Once inside, Mom and Dad had already set the meal.

After inviting Grandpa to take a seat, Dad opened a bottle of wine and poured three glasses.

Surprisingly, Tu Xiaoxun also had a share.

Dad raised his glass and said: "Tu Tu, today you are an adult after this birthday, Dad made an exception to let you drink, but you had better drink less in the future, and don't be greedy for a cup, so as not to make a mistake, I think you understand this truth!" ”

"Yes!"

Tu Xiaoxun raised his wine glass, and after responding to his father, he asked curiously: "Dad, what is the good thing today, say it and let everyone celebrate happily!" ”

Mother Zhang Fen glanced at her father, smiled like a flower, and said: "It's not that the salary that has been delayed in their factory for half a year has been paid to him today, look at his strength!" ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, Tu Tu's eighteenth birthday today is very important, happy birthday Tu Tu!"

"Happy Birthday!"

Grandpa toasted with tea instead of wine, a family of four clinked glasses and pecked a bite to start eating, mother added vegetables to Tu Xiaoxun from time to time, Dad took a sip of wine and a mouthful of food, ate and drank leisurely, and grandpa's appetite was much better.

After the three rounds of cooking, Grandpa opened the cake and put candles, and after Dad lit it, he drank wine and blushed, and said with a smile: "Tu Tu, make a wish to blow out the candles!" ”

Tu Xiaoxun didn't make any big wishes, he just hoped that today's dream would come true, and he fulfilled the wishes of his grandfather and father.

After blowing out the candles and cutting the cake, the family did not play with the cake, and that kind of waste was not allowed in a family like theirs.

After dinner, Tu Xiaoxun helped his mother wash the dishes, watched TV for a while, took out the cheap copycat mobile phone to send birthday wishes to classmates and friends, and returned to the house to sleep after texting back.

As for the magic album, as well as the Huaqing admission letter that he had drawn and imagined, he was all abandoned.

……

Early the next morning, Tu Xiaoxun was woken up by a ringing phone.

When he opened his eyes and blinked, he picked up the mobile phone on the bedside, and saw that it was Li Yangyang calling, and after answering, he said angrily: "It's early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams, did you lazy bed guy stay up all night last night?" ”

"yes, I played all night last night, and it was very high!"

Li Yangyang's tone seemed very excited, as if he was tireless, and then said: "Xiaoxun, tell you good news, great news!" ”

Tu Xiaoxun said confusedly: "What good news?" ”

Li Yangyang said excitedly: "Now I solemnly tell you Tu Xiaoxun, you are going to be popular!" ”

", if I didn't dream last night, you must be dreaming!"

When Tu Xiaoxun heard this, he didn't bother to ask what the reason was, and after the sleepiness hit, he squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm hanging up if there's nothing to do, this joke you told is not funny at all!" ”

"Don't hang it, I mean it, there are many posts discussing you on the Internet now, there are a lot of people spraying you, and there are many people who help you wash the floor, it's very popular, you can watch it on the Internet yourself if you don't believe it......"

Tu Xiaoxun still thought it was a funny joke, and said, "Lazy, you took the wrong medicine today, don't you know?" I don't usually go online, and I haven't posted anything on the Internet, I'm still a little sleepy, so I don't talk about it, and I hang ......up."

After hanging up the phone, Tu Xiaoxun continued to sleep peacefully.

Bell bell bell!

But I didn't sleep for three minutes before the phone rang again.

Tu Xiaoxun was so noisy that he didn't feel sleepy, and after picking it up, he scolded: "Lazy, you are so sick that you want to go to your father, don't bother me with those useless fake news......"

"Tu Xiaoxun, I'm the head teacher Yang Congjun!"

Hearing the calm and peaceful familiar voice on the other side of the phone, Tu Xiaoxun immediately sat up and apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Yang, Li Yangyang harassed me on the phone just now, I thought it was ......."

Yang Congjun said with a smile: "I can understand, you and Li Yangyang are usually good friends, he will definitely be the first to notify you if he has any news, and I will always call you and still use the line......"

Relieved, Tu Xiaoxun said, "Teacher Yang, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Xiaoxun, something asks you, have you ever created a painting called "Sad World" before?"

Tu Xiaoxun looked confused and said: "I used to draw a lot of graffiti things in my spare time, and most of them were made fun of painting shit, and I can't remember if there is a painting named "Sad World"!" ”

After a moment of silence, Yang Congjun said: "Xiaoxun, can you come to the school, I will wait for you in the school conference room!" ”

Tu Xiaoxun was a little confused, and asked with some apprehension: "Teacher Yang, what happened?" ”

"Didn't Li Yangyang tell you?"

Tu Xiaoxun's face changed slightly, and he suddenly felt that the guy shouldn't have lied to himself, and tried to ask: "Li Yangyang only told me that many people are discussing me, saying that I am popular on the Internet......"

"Yes, what Li Yangyang said is still more reliable, you are indeed popular!"
