Chapter 14 I'm hard, I'm strong, I'm persevering.

"When we complain about shoes that don't fit, we should go and see those who don't have feet."

Very philosophical.

At least a very dull-looking peer next to Li Jiangchao thinks that the thief has a cultural background, this sentence is behind a certain computer screen, I don't know if it was a cat or a dog, Li Jiangchao is chatting and farting with a big gang of degenerate people in a game guild group, there are a few non-mainstream cuties in the group who upload selfies when they have nothing to do, and a certain brute who has always liked to pretend to be deep in the group typed such a sentence, probably to win eyeballs to earn a passionate video of a certain crush.

As a resolute supporter of "more than the Brain-Dead Holy War", Li Jiangchao muttered: "Look at you bird. Nibbling on a piece of greasy sausage for five cents to satisfy his hunger, Li Jiangchao directly launched a hearty national scolding to the beast, until he scolded the other party to withdraw from the group, and then Li Jiangchao was also kicked and scolded grass, Li Jiangchao opened the QQ interface and found that the friends he knew on the two related websites of hunting and feng shui were not online, and it was now half past two in the morning, and someone was online before the hell.

His QQ signature is "π=16arctan1/5-4arctan1/239", an ancient Ma Qing formula, basically every brain-dead non-mainstream will ask him what his signature means, and Li Jiangchao never answers. Who would have imagined that Li Jiangchao, who was half-dead in high school, was once regarded by the famous Olympiad coach as a science genius who could win gold medals in mathematics and physics Olympiads, in fact, Li Jiangchao's sister Li Qingwu was an absolute top student when she was a student, and she got a special scholarship every year, but it is a pity that Li Jiangchao's liberal arts and sciences are seriously tilted, which is equivalent to being lame, and the liberal arts are a mess.

Li Jiangchao had already given up the college entrance examination, and recently started to cheer up again, and after working hard for more than half a month, he really couldn't hold back his itchy hands, plus he had a fight at school two days ago, and he really caught fire, so he climbed the wall from the school and came out of the Internet café.

The bored Li Jiangchao had no choice but to read a serialized novel, and turned his head to find that his dead friend quickly put his eyes on the screen that was playing the war movie on the wonderful bed of the island country, his name is Tao Jing, this guy is not tall, not low, not fat or thin, but he has a dramatized face that seems to be honest but is pierced by the essence of obscenity, from kindergarten to the current sophomore year of high school, no girl is willing to sit at a table with him, for example, a beautiful girl walks towards her, normal people will pass by quietly at most a few glances or look at the bright, But he would stop, and from the first second, he would pretending to be clever and glance at the beauty until she disappeared from the level where he stood, leaving the last impression of the beautiful cutie as a pair of dog's eyes and cross-eyed. In addition, his parents are poor, this guy has always been someone else's punching bag since he was a child, and when he puts on new shoes, he will always be stepped on into old shoes on the first day of school, and the new book will be torn off in half and folded into paper airplanes the next day; After junior high school, even the profligate girl who was caught by the teacher in early love would slap him with his head and face, just because he happened to be standing "only" four or five meters away from her. After arriving in high school, few girls remember this ugly monster who always hides in the corner and does not say a word, just like the bell tower monster Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris", and even more unfortunately, the beast around Li Jiangchao does not have Quasimodo's pure heart, he has been treating the English teacher as an Italian silver object since junior high school, or rather, the English teacher who wears glasses and stockings is simply fatal to him, and he can be killed within 100 meters.

Li Jiangchao shook his head angrily in mourning his misfortune, and only he could be friends with this neurotic.

"Is it probation or demerit?" Tao Jing, who licked the sausage with his tongue, asked, his obscenity value is the same as that of the male protagonist in "Color is Empty", and with the vivid surname love educational film played on his screen, even Li Jiangchao felt that this birdman was really not wronged at all after being beaten for so many years.

"It was supposed to be a demerit, but that bastard has a grandfather who is an official in the Education Bureau, so it became a school probation." Li Jiangchao stared at the screen and said casually.

"Wouldn't you have no graduation certificate if you commit another offense?" Tao Jingyan frowned and said, with a very strong local accent, his English speaking level is notoriously painful for the enemy, four words, miserable. So this bell tower weirdo, who is lucky to have been a beautiful woman since his junior high school days, has always been destined to fail to achieve a certain lofty ambition in his life, and the lofty ideal of picking off the female teacher's surname and stockings with his own hands.

"Almost." Li Jiangchao didn't care.

"Tomorrow afternoon, the school is on vacation, and after the weekend, you will have to let your parents study, what to do then, this time the director of the political and educational department is eyeing you, it is unlikely that you will spend another hundred taels to hire someone to make up the number, you really let your mother or sister go to school? If you don't have a parent, the director of the Political and Educational Office will definitely not let you go. Tao Jing said worriedly, swallowed the sausage, curled up in the sofa, the close hand-to-hand combat between men and women on the screen could not attract him, he had no family background, no sports expertise, no appearance, no money, his student career was just a miserable history, only Li Jiangchao and he had the same disease, even if Li Jiangchao's family background began to improve with his sister Li Qingwu's graduation and earning money, his brother did not abandon him, Tao Jing was beaten by whomever scolded and ridiculed by whomever was happy, only Li Jiangchao was able to easily defeat this QQ signature is "He is a monster of history, It is the whip of God" fool + madman, no matter how small and humble a child is, he still has his self-esteem, even if this self-esteem will be completely destroyed as soon as it reaches society.

"Don't talk about this, let's pick the stars." Li Jiangchao, who was irritable in his heart, opened the game document to look for SC.

Li Jiangchao and Tao Jing fought until half past four in the morning, before taking a taxi back to school and jumping over the wall, and then dozing off in the morning self-study class, Tao Jing's metamorphosis lies in the fact that he can erect a book, squint his eyes to sleep, not completely close his eyes, and his normal reading state is also like this, and the teacher is not very willing to communicate too much with this student with the lowest grades, so let him pass the test in confusion, Li Jiangchao at the same table fell asleep without any scruples, sleeping soundly, suddenly was pushed, and looked up to see the angry face of the director of the political and educational office.

"Come out for a moment." Ding Hongda, director of the Political and Educational Office, who inspected the situation of the early self-study in each class, had been focusing on "taking care" of Li Jiangchao, and called this black sheep who did not know how to make progress and caused trouble all day long into the corridor with a straight face.

A few boys in the class who didn't deal with Li Jiangchao gloated and sneaked to the door to watch the battle, they were all competent enemies who fought against Li Jiangchao in junior high school or even elementary school, but the further they went, the less advantageous, because Li Jiangchao, the little brute, has a pretty good sister, a graduate of a famous university, a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, good looks and temperament, and one person has ascended to heaven, Li Jiangchao is no longer the poor egg who can always find subtle patches on his clothes and pants, So now they have to take Li Jiangchao's father as a labor prisoner, and many girls are subconsciously estranged from Li Jiangchao, resulting in Li Jiangchao getting closer to a group of ruffians after fighting in small fields such as billiards rooms several times, and some problem students in the school who claim to be the king and hegemon also like to pull Li Jiangchao to eat, drink and have fun, some time ago Li Jiangchao competed with a good student representative for a school flower-level beauty, in fact, Li Jiangchao didn't know that she was already famous. And the opponent is the kind of top student who has excellent grades and can make the head teacher turn a blind eye to early love, and sits firmly in the top ten positions in the grade, this kind of student is equivalent to a stable place in Peking University and Tsinghua University for the teacher, and it is indirectly equal to a lot of bonuses, Li Jiangchao, a downstream student who eats and waits for death, dares to fight, and beats people to the point of going to the hospital for a week of vacation, if the school does not consider that Li Jiangchao is not a provocateur, he would have been directly expelled a long time ago.

"Li Jiangchao, let me remind you once again, if you can't see your parents on Monday, you don't have to go to class, when can I see your parents, when will you come to school." Ding Hongda wears a pair of black-framed glasses, lifeless, and teaches politics, so he is a good hand at engaging in political criticism, and his flattery is notoriously disgusting, not to mention that his wife has a very "deep" relationship with a certain bigwig in the Education Bureau, so he sat in the position of director of the Political and Educational Office last year, and the school is recognized as the number one catcher, the most ruthless to catch cheating, and the most energetic to catch early love, but the treatment of men and women is completely different, and the treatment of ordinary girls and beautiful girls is even more worlds apart. Finally, stop at the most beautiful girls' table, condescendingly, and enjoy the twin peaks of youthful and lively beauties out of the corner of your eyes.

"You're done?" Li Jiangchao sneered.

Ding Hongda was annoyed for a while, but it was not easy to attack.

Li Jiangchao walked straight back to the classroom, sat down in his seat and continued to sleep.

"The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked." Ding Hongda lifted the frame of the mirror and said disdainfully, and continued to inspect the state of early self-study.

Tao Jing except for English classes are erecting books to recuperate, Li Jiangchao near the window is after sleeping for two classes, holding his cheeks and looking out of the window, there is an old willow tree on the edge of the school field, the abdomen has been hollow, but every year the sprout will still be full of tender yellow, the lush or will hold out a large shade, Li Jiangchao and Tao Jing junior high school in this school in the junior high school, Li Jiangchao clearly remembers that one day three years ago, he stood under the tree on a sunny day and handed out the first love letter, In the end, it was publicly displayed by the beautiful girl who seemed to be innocent but was actually dissolute, and posted it on the school propaganda board, that time, my sister Li Qingwu was called to the school by the head teacher, Li Jiangchao looked at the proud and excellent sister with a smile and apologized and admitted her mistakes, like a needle in the palm of his hand, he swore that one day in the future, he must knock down all the girls and boys with his own hands, in fact, Li Jiangchao did not do it, because the girl was later recognized as a 10,000-person socket in the circle, Li Jiangchao gradually became arrogant in the school in the past two years, She is no longer pure but bewitching and pretentious, she wants to eat back grass, but Li Jiangchao doesn't even want to slap her, it's dirty, he didn't knock her down, it was she who was scooped by life.

The day after tomorrow is a very special day for Li Jiangchao.

As a child, he looked forward to it almost all the time, and the older he grew, the more he rejected it.

When he came home from school in the afternoon, Li Jiangchao found that his sister was still cooking with his mother, Li Jiangchao knew that his sister Li Qingwu was an out-and-out workaholic, not to mention working overtime in the company, and would stay up until the early hours of the morning when she returned home, her room was always full of all kinds of professional books that had nothing to do with her major, Li Jiangchao didn't even know how many certificates she had taken, and her sister's only hobby who had always been frugal was to drink coffee, which was forced out by staying up all night, and being able to go home on time to cook and eat was already the sun coming out of the west, In the past two years, she has not encountered a situation where she rests at home early, and Li Jiangchao is a little worried, for fear that the things in school will reach her ears.

However, during the meal, Li Qingwu has been talking to his mother, and he can't see anything abnormal, Li Jiangchao is relieved, after eating, Li Jiangchao nested in the small room and waited for the opportunity to kill the Internet café, but he didn't expect his sister to knock on the door, Li Jiangchao's scalp immediately became numb, thinking that the monk couldn't escape the temple, anyway, looking at the attitude of the old thief in the political department this time, he really couldn't hide from the first day of the new year, and when he was about to take the initiative to confess, Li Qingwu, who had also been brewing emotions for a long time, asked cautiously: "Jiang Chao, come with me to pick up my father the day after tomorrow, okay?" ”

Li Jiangchao's face changed, and his face was gloomy.

Li Qingwu wanted to explain something, but Li Jiangchao rushed out of the room directly and slammed the door.

Li Qingwu sighed, helpless.

As a mature adult, she still has lingering resentment, what can she use to ask a child to be open-minded?

―――――――― Li Hongbing walked out of the gate of Nanjing Prison, the sunlight above his head outside the prison seemed to be particularly dazzling, he stretched out his hand to block it, and saw his wife who was no longer young and his daughter who had grown up, his eyes were red. 14 years, let him become one of the few prisoners who squatted in Nanjing's former Laohuqiao Prison and later the prison at No. 9 Ningshuang Road, 14 years is enough to make his wife's sideburns white for more than half of his life, and it is also enough for his daughter Li Qingwu, who has not had much opportunity to spoil, to thrive.

"Red Soldier". The middle-aged woman sobbed, bowing her head to wipe away her tears.

"Dad." Li Qingwu's eyes were red, and seeing that his clothes were thin, he specially wrapped the scarf around his neck.

"Go home." Li Hongbing choked up.

Coming to the second-hand house that Li Qingwu bought with a loan at the end of the previous year, Li Hongbing muttered, "The girl is out of breath", and walked through every corner of the room, especially in Li Jiangchao's room for the longest time, but he didn't even dare to sit on the chair, just stood in a daze and looked around, this scout often stuck a knife in his life for his friends after retiring from the army, the man who often stuck a knife in his ribs for his friends gently picked up a beautiful photo frame from the table, the photo was 15-year-old Li Jiangchao and 24-year-old Li Qingwu, standing on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, sunny and picturesque, Li Qingwu was soft and weak but stood straight, Li Jiangchao made a naughty grimace, Li Hongbing rubbed his thumb against the frame, bowed his head and said: "Like me, no, more handsome than when I was young." ”

Li Qingwu turned his head, biting his lip, his eyes moist.

When all the meals were served on the table, Li Qingwu still couldn't get through to Li Jiangchao's phone, and after waiting for half an hour, the food was already cold, Li Qingwu reluctantly smiled and said, "Dad, let's eat first." ”

"Wait a little longer," Li Hongbing laughed without seeing a hint of sadness.

"I'll go find him." Li Qingwu knew that if he waited like this, he might not have a result if he waited for a day.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Qingwu returned home alone in vain, Li Jiangchao did not stay in any Internet café that Li Qingwu could find, when she walked into the house, she found that her father Li Hongbing still did not move his chopsticks.

Li Qingwu squatted on the ground and cried all of a sudden.

Li Hongbing was in a hurry, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Chen Fusheng drove the Audi A4 back to the community at half past one in the morning, but saw Li Jiangchao blocked by Li Qingwu, who had been sitting at the staircase for more than four hours.

"Li Jiangchao, go and apologize to Dad!" Li Qingwu said with a crying voice, who would have imagined that this is a stubborn woman who has never shed a single tear from menstrual pain at school to the point of fainting.

"He's not my dad, I don't have a dad." Li Jiangchao said with a glance.

Syllable.

Li Qingwu slapped Li Jiangchao in the face, this was the first time she hit Li Jiangchao, in the past she was a sister who was reluctant to scold.

"I only have a mother, and an older sister, and no father." Li Jiangchao said in a deep voice again, his hands in his trouser pockets, and he didn't rub his hot face.

Li Qingwu was in tears, and he couldn't cry out.

Li Jiangchao turned around and left, passing by Chen Fusheng.

Li Qingwu sat on the steps, blank and empty-eyed.

Chen Fusheng took off his coat and draped it on Li Qingwu, sat beside her, and said softly: "Jiang Chao, this kid doesn't want to see his father? ”

Li Qingwu bit his lip and nodded, oozing blood unconsciously.

"Don't you mind letting me talk to Jiang Chao?" Chen Fusheng asked.

Li Qingwu shook his head slightly, and then shook his head vigorously.

"There is no hurdle that the family can't get over." Chen Fusheng gently comforted, got up and walked to the side of A4, and Zhou Xiaoque, who was about to leave, also stopped Cayenne, and the two cars drove out of the community together.

Li Qingwu returned to her room and took out a box from under the bed, all of which were very old things, including a small wooden sword made by her father Li Hongbing for Li Jiangchao, which was thrown by Li Jiangchao and picked up by her, the first pair of sandals given to her by her father, and the letters he sent from prison for more than ten years. Picking up a notebook from the bottom of the box from her junior high school days, she flipped through it from the first page, looking at it word by word, and finally turned to the last page, which was only nine words.

Squeezing out a smiling face, Li Qingwu raised his fist.

It's never been her style to give up easily.

Gently took off the coat that Chen Fusheng lent her, folded it neatly, and placed it at the head of the bed, she lay on the bed, staring sideways at the blazer that was destined not to see the flowers.

Li Qingwu retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and muttered, "I am hard, I am strong, and I persevere." ”
