The little girl frowned, and also changed to English and asked: "My English is already better than yours, didn't you hate speaking English the most before, and besides, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you speak in such a strange tone?" ”

Xiao Yang's spoken language was learned from film and television dramas, and he didn't know what kind of accent the original "self" had when he spoke, it was not surprising that the little girl could hear the difference, and when she wanted to fool her around, she heard Aunt Liu say behind her: "Wenwen is naughty again, let my brother hug me when I'm so old, hurry up!" ”

The little girl named Wenwen grimaced at her mother, reluctantly broke free from Xiao Yang's embrace, pouted and ran back to the stone table to play with her building blocks, Xiao Yang glanced back, and saw that Aunt Liu's face was pale, but it didn't look like she was angry with her daughter's naughtiness, but she didn't want him to have too much contact with her, she wondered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, just said politely: "I'll just come by myself, don't bother Auntie." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Seemingly surprised by his performance, Aunt Liu glanced at him in surprise, then put on a smile again, and said, "The boy is clumsy, and he can't do such a small job as cleaning up the room, so I'll come." ”

Quietly waving his hand to Wenwen, Xiao Yang followed Aunt Liu into the bedroom on the left, the room is not big, the wall is against a double single bed made of steel pipes, angle iron and wooden boards, the lower layer is covered with bedding, the upper layer is only a bare bed board, there are a few old-fashioned suitcases on it, there is a small wardrobe at the head of the bed, an old desk full of tapes and books is placed in front of the window facing the street, an indoor basketball hoop is nailed to the wall opposite the bed, and a set of tension devices are hung next to it, plus the stars and football star posters are pasted all over the wall, It belongs to the private space of a typical adolescent boy.

Looking around the room, he noticed a black-brown stain on the bedpost on the side of the steel tube bed against the door, like dried bloodstains, and a small pool of floor tiles under the bedpost.

Following his gaze, Aunt Liu smiled a little reluctantly, and casually explained, "I was in a hurry to take you to the hospital that day, I was too busy to clean up, I'll go get a rag and come up", grabbed Wenwen's pigtail that was poking her head out from behind while speaking, and dragged her downstairs despite her loud protests, without mentioning the stubble of "rolling down the stairs and breaking your head".

Combined with what he has seen and heard in the past few days, Xiao Yang is almost certain that he has indeed suffered domestic violence, considering that the coming day is long, he can always ask the truth slowly, but he is not in a hurry to chase out and confront Aunt Liu, go to the bathroom at the staircase to find a mop and a bucket, clean the room inside and out, Aunt Liu came up with a rag, saw that he was busy working, did not speak, and turned around and went downstairs.

When mopping the bottom of the bed, he suddenly heard the sound of rattling paper, Xiao Yang bent down to take a look, there was a magazine lying in the innermost corner of the wall, hooked out with a mop to see, but it was a "Playboy" for adults only, the whole magazine was torn in half from the middle, only the spine of the book was still connected, and there was a boss's shoe print printed on the cover.

Combined with Aunt Liu's attitude just now, Xiao Yang thought about it a little, and roughly guessed what happened, daring to love is the "self" hormone secretion in adolescence, and I don't know where to secretly find this magazine for "observation and study", but Xiao Zengfu inadvertently bumped into him, he is old-fashioned, and rude, so he naturally reprimanded on the spot, he was young and vigorous, and most of them said a few words, and Comrade Xiao moved his hand in anger, which led to his injury and hospitalization, and thus aroused the suspicion of medical personnel and the police- It's no wonder that Aunt Liu is careful not to allow him to get too close to Wenwen.

After figuring out these joints, Xiao Yang's resentment in his heart, which was not too obvious, became a little lighter, and he casually threw the magazine into the trash, and after sprinkling and sweeping, he sent the mop, bucket and rag back to the bathroom, came to the desk near the window and sat down, trying to find some diaries or letters from it, wanting to have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the living, learning or working environment he was in, so as to better and faster dissolve into it.

I flipped through the table casually, except for some pop song tapes, most of the rest were high school textbooks, as well as a few Chinese traditional Chinese versions of martial arts novels, rummaging through a few drawers and not finding anything valuable, and when I pulled it to the bottom drawer on my right hand, I didn't pull it, it turned out to be locked.

Bending down to take a closer look, he found that it was an ordinary hidden lock, Xiao Yang didn't bother to rummage through the key, opened a plastic tape box, stuffed the thin and slightly elastic lid into the gap next to the lock, hooked back horizontally, pressed the snap tongue that hit the lock, pulled the handle with his left hand, and the drawer opened in response, and when he looked at it, there was a thick stack of notebooks inside, and several letters were pressed on the top.

Twisted up the top one, and saw that the cover was an official letter from San Francisco State University (public), the seal had already been torn open, so he took out the letterhead and took a few looks, his reading level was limited, and he could only recognize a general meaning, "Thank you for choosing this school, but your ACT and BAT scores failed to meet the criteria for admission to this school, I hope you will continue to work hard in the coming year, blablabla", it turned out to be a "rejection letter".

Flipping through the letters from several other public universities in California, the contents were similar, and it seemed that the original owner of this body had really poor academic performance, put down the letter, picked up the black notebook on the top, opened the title page, and a photo fell out lightly.

Bending down to pick up the color photo that fell on the ground, Xiao Yang took a closer look, it seemed to be a group photo of a family of three, the man was about 30 years old, and the face was Xiao Zengfu when he was young, and the boy in his arms was about 5 or 6 years old, it should be his childhood himself, the woman next to the two was tall and handsome, but it was not Aunt Liu who had just left the room, and she thought it was her biological mother.

I couldn't guess for a while whether my biological mother had passed away or divorced her husband for some reason, Xiao Yang stuffed the photo into the cover of the notebook, turned to the next page and took a closer look, sure enough, it was another diary written by "Xiao Yang", flipped through it from back to front, the date was a recent period, but it was not recorded every day, but it was just a few strokes of important things every once in a while.

The diary is written in traditional characters, the handwriting is quite sloppy, Xiao Yang is very difficult to recognize, I saw that between the lines are complaining that his father only wants to train him to be a chef, so that when he is old, he takes over the restaurant, and he doesn't care about his studies and hobbies at all, and how is he fascinated by Liu Lin's vixen, regardless of the fact that the two parties just make do with each other and live blindly, and they haven't even married, so they handed over all the financial power of the family to her, and sooner or later this family business will fall into the hands of this scheming woman.
