As a veteran smoker, whenever he falls into a memory, Xiao Zhang can't help but look for a cigarette. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But as soon as he touched the bag of "soft white and red plums" in his trouser pocket, Xiao Zhang caught a glimpse of the "no smoking" sign posted on the wall.

It suddenly occurred to me that in the West, public places such as coffee shops are generally non-smoking.

I had to retract my hand curtly, sip my coffee, and open the conversation:

"My parents are actually warm-hearted and good people, and if you want to talk about their shortcomings, they are not very good-tempered, and they are born with a 'powder keg' temper! And this also made them suffer a lifelong loss. ”

Xiao Zhang blinked his eyes and said, "You know, people with this kind of fiery temper often spread the flames of war to every corner of their lives. ”

"Take, for example, the little thing of handing me a salt shaker while cooking, and in a well-bred family, they might say, 'Honey, may you please hand me the salt shaker?' Thank you! ’”

"But in our house, it's like this—'Grass, are you blind?' Didn't you see that Lao Tzu (Lao Niang) wants to use salt?! ’”

Xiao Zhang spread his hands: "This is the difference." ”

While listening, Xiao Ke was also carefully observing Xiao Zhang's expression. But what made her feel strange was that when she mentioned that she was from a poor background, she couldn't see any inferiority complex on Xiao Zhang's face, let alone hatred for her parents, as if she was telling something to be proud of.

It's weird.

"When I was a child, I would be very afraid, like a deer roaming alone in the dense forest, always pricking up my ears, maintaining a 'combat readiness', as long as there is even the slightest wind and grass, I will run over."

"Why did you run over there?"

"You know, between two hot-tempered people, the slightest spark can turn the world upside down. That's how my family is, my mother...... She's a very fierce, very strong woman, and I haven't seen her bow her head to my dad or anyone else when I'm so old. ”

Xiao Zhang clenched his hands into fists and made a gesture of colliding his fists: "The two of them are like this-'bang'!" ”

"The reason why I ran over was because I was afraid that my dad or my mom would stab each other with a fruit knife like the people who often appear on the news. With me by their side, they will at least be more restrained and restrained. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ke's eyes changed a little, some pity, some pity, and involuntarily stimulated the maternal brilliance in his body.

She wanted to open her mouth to comfort Xiao Zhang.

It seems that Xiao Zhang doesn't need her comfort.

"When I was a child, I was also very confused, thinking why did these two people have to live together? It's so painful, isn't it okay to find a new one after a divorce? ”

"But as I grew up day by day, I was amazed to find that even though they quarreled and fought so hard, they really loved each other and loved me deeply."

Xiao Zhang laughed: "This is really a very, very, very strange conclusion, and when I came to this conclusion, I was shocked myself. ”

"Yes, my family has never had much money, and I barely have enough food and clothing, and I even can't even get enough food and clothing for a while. Some of my classmates went to school in the family car, and I went to school in the back seat of my dad's "big-pole permanent" bicycle for five or six years. ”

"Delivered every morning, picked up at noon, delivered after lunch, and picked up again in the evening. No matter the wind or rain, whether it is a cold of more than ten degrees below zero, or a scorching heat of more than 30 degrees, my dad has never been late. Not once. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhang suddenly laughed "hehe": "But he beat me very hard, even now, if I make him unhappy, he will burst into a temper and kick me twice, haha." ”

"Also, when I was in junior high school, I was obsessed with 'Warcraft', not to mention playing games, and I also saved my pocket money on weekdays and bought an 'Illidan', which is the blind Night Elf with wings on his back and a full moon scimitar."

"It's expensive, I still remember the price: 1,288 yuan. When converted to U.S. dollars, it's about $200. ”

"For children from a family like mine, it seems a bit too luxurious to play with this kind of thing, but I can't help it, I just like it, and I like it deeply in my bones. Just like some children now steal their parents' money to buy 'Descendants of the Dragon' or 'Lu Bu' skins. That thing...... I really can't control it. ”

"I remember I gave it a Chinese name, 'Dian Wei.'"

"As soon as I got my hands on it, I carried it all day and all night, in my bag when I went to school. However, you should be able to guess what it means for such a fancy toy to be in my slum. ”

"It's like a firework in the middle of the night, and there is no child who is not red."

"Within a few days, my 'Dian Wei' was like having wings and was gone."

"After my dad heard about it, he didn't comfort me who was crying bitterly at the time, and jumped out with the kitchen knife that chopped the big bones at home, scolded, and scolded all night waving the kitchen knife."

Xiao Zhang thought of this past incident, and seemed to think it was very funny, and joked while laughing: "If you put it aside now, maybe the people around you will think that the reason why he is so crazy is because his exclusive parking space is occupied by a stupid vacancy." Ha ha. ”

"They are all such people, they always like to hide their love in their hearts, as if it were a shame to express it."

"With their character, the mixed society naturally runs into walls everywhere, and they were the first to be laid off, and later they went to the night market to set up stalls in desperation, and the chengguan was the first to confiscate their things."

Xiao Zhang's heart palpitated: "Those days were really difficult, I was in the middle of growing my body, I was so hungry every day, I was like a parasitic demon in my stomach, I couldn't fill it no matter what, and I roared all day and all night." ”

"In the beginning, I would go home to find something to eat, but unfortunately my house was like it had been looted by thieves, and I couldn't find anything. The power in the refrigerator has long been turned off, because there is often not even an egg at home. So...... I started stealing. ”

Xiao Zhang scratched the back of his head like a child, and said helplessly: "I couldn't help it at that time, I was really hungry." And...... I also always hated the thief who stole my 'Dianwei', and I was very naïve at the time, thinking that I would get revenge on them. ”

"Within a few days, my parents realized that this was no longer going to work, and in desperation, as some rotten Chinese stories say, they decided to let my sister drop out of school to support the family. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a sister who is two years older than me. ”

"To this day, I can vividly recall that day, my sister was not as good as me, she studied hard and her grades were always good. When she heard the news, she burst into tears, her eyes crying like peaches. ”

At this time, my dad and my mom must have felt very uncomfortable, and the last three of them hugged and cried. I, on the other hand, hid in the corner, munching on the stolen dry bread while watching the man. ”

"In fact, there has always been such a thing as 'patriarchy', and my parents just feel that in this kind of 'extreme poverty' situation, even letting little girls study is not interesting, and the rate of return is too slow and low. But I want to continue my studies, get admitted to university, and become a superior class......"

"But I didn't think so, even though I was only 13 years old at the time."

"When they had finished crying, I had finished my bread and jumped out, and said to them, 'All right, don't cry too much, and make Lao Tzu upset!' Let my sister go to school, I won't go to school, and I don't want to go to school anymore anyway! ’”

Looking at Xiao Ke's cute look with widening eyes because of surprise, Xiao Zhang was still a little embarrassed: "Yes, that's what I said at the time." Coming from this kind of family and this kind of environment, it's really hard not to be infected. ”

After that, he continued: "Like you, they were also surprised at the time, in fact, my grades were also very good, I belong to the kind of person who is clever, and always looks like he doesn't take his studies seriously all day long, but when he gets the report card, he can always scare everyone." And I can't go up anymore, probably because of theft, I came into contact with some dark sides of society too early, which made me feel that it was not safe to throw a 15 or 6-year-old girl into society, but I was different, it was not the same then as now, and there was no such thing as 'popping chrysanthemums' and 'engaging in foundations' in Chinese mainland. ”

"That day, I managed to convince them! It's the proudest thing I've ever done in my life, and even if I did win the IEM title this time, I don't think I would be as proud as I was that time. Speaking of this, Xiao Zhang's face was a little red.

"It was successful because I came up with a plan that would convince them."

"It's also a coincidence, I happened to touch an uncle's wallet at that time, and accidentally found it for him. He chases, and I run. This uncle can also do it, and he doesn't call for 'catching thieves' or anything, he just chases me with his head stuffy. Naturally, I wouldn't have shouted, so I would have run. ”

"He's fast, but I'm faster than him. He chased for more than half an hour, and at the end of the chase, he ran and was paralyzed. ”

"I'm not like him, I'm always holding my energy, running and watching him and seeing him paralyzed, I thought to myself, 'Something bad is wrong, don't kill anyone!' ”

So he turned back, and first put him on the curb to rest. I took the money out of his wallet, bought him a bottle of mineral water, and bought myself two 'cutie does' - no way, this was the most expensive ice cream in the little shop. ”

"This uncle is very good, he didn't pursue me, and I returned my wallet to him. He also told me that he was a coach in a sports school and asked me to practice with him, and he also lied to me that I had money to practice sports. ”

So, I went. The people in the sports school said that my quality was very good, and they also gave my family a few thousand yuan in 'training fees', which was not much, but it did solve the urgent need at that time. ”

Xiao Ke looked at Xiao Zhang in surprise: "So, Xiao, are you practicing sports?" What project? ”

Xiao Zhang replied: "I started running in the middle and long distances, but not long after running, the coach said that my explosiveness was better, so I changed to sprinting. Later, somehow, there was a 'basketball craze' in China, and I was asked to change my program and say that I wanted to play basketball. ”

"Basketball?" Xiao Ke looked Xiao Zhang up and down.

With a height of less than 1.9 meters at 1.8 meters, he has a long arm span and large hands, which looks quite flexible, but it really looks like material for playing basketball.
