When Dong Jiu plucked up the courage to sign up, he was cut off by the afternoon incident, he found that as long as he walked closer, he would be ridiculed like him, so stay away from him, so in the afternoon he pushed Xu Xiaoxiao away, and the courage to be encouraged by Xu Xiaoxiao also disappeared with this push, and the words on the paper had been sweated, but Dong Jiuzhong did not send out this paper.

It seems that the relationship has been broken since then, the relationship between Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi has increased instead of decreasing, but Dong Jiu is really alone, Xu Xiaoxiao has not taken the initiative to find him, and he will not take the initiative to find Xu Xiaoxiao, but he always has an expectation in his heart, hoping that Xu Xiaoxiao will come to him.

But I have been waiting for a long, long day, and I haven't known each other for two months, except for the breakdown of their relationship, nothing else in the class has changed, Fu Xing is still the same as the class leader leading those who don't study to oppress Dong Jiu, Dong Jiu still won't resist, those who give money will give money, and they should be beaten or beaten.

At this time, Dong Jiu often thought of Xu Xiaoxiao's appearance of standing up for himself together, as if it was impossible.

Dong Jiu was pushed by someone when he was eating, and pounced forward, because the school uniform is pure white, so the oil stains on it are particularly obvious, if it is an ordinary student, it would be good to scold two sentences at most, and apologize, but Dong Jiu is so unlucky, he bumped into Chen Zhen, who is Chen Zhen? It seems that no one doesn't know, the least read in this school, and the cleanliness, cleanliness! So he turned his head to stare at Dong Jiu, who hurriedly apologized and kept reading: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry" is useless, Chen Zhen still stared at him, and seeing that he only repeated one sentence, Chen Zhen's temper came up: "Does TMD only have one sentence" The food in his hand slid off Dong Jiu's head, and he seemed to be amused by Dong Jiu's appearance, and imitated a sentence after learning Dong Jiu's tone: "I'm sorry classmate"

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he smiled at Dong Jiu again, but the smile was sarcastic.

Dong Jiu has already seen it, he has been cold-eyed since he was a child, and he has seen this kind of look and smile many times before.

However, the meal that was drenched in people was inevitably a little unhappy.

"I ...... I. Dong Jiu couldn't speak, there were more and more onlookers, but no one stood up for himself, and he was doing such a thing, if he was himself, he would hide far away.

"I ...... I...... What am I, why am I still stuttering? Chen plucked out his ears in a dirty manner.

Dong Jiu didn't speak, he chose to be silent, he thought that silence could help him get through this difficulty, but Chen Zhen is not like Fu Xing, if you ignore him, he may leave boringly, Chen Zhen is different, he will feel that you don't respect him and don't take him seriously, so he doesn't speak.

"Why don't you speak, dumb? Didn't you just apologize a lot? Don't apologize? ”

"Let you speak, can't you hear? Are you deaf?"

"Speak, fatty, can you talk well?"

Dong Jiu still didn't speak, his silence all the time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, Chen Zhen went up with a kick, "Fuck, I said you can speak?" ”

Although Dong Jiu is fat, he can't withstand the kick of a one-meter-eight tall man, and he was kicked to the ground, Dong Jiu looked at the terrain, it is remote, the uncle and aunt in the canteen are busy cooking for people, and the canteen is empty, and the sound can't be transmitted over there, the teacher generally does not come to this canteen to eat, and is surrounded by water, they haven't seen enough of the excitement, how can they let the teacher stop this farce.

And yet it's on the other side.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi finished their meal and sat on the table and chair on the side, ready to eat.

Zhuang Wanyi tugged at Xu Xiaoxiao's sleeve, looked at the outer layer there, and touched Xu Xiaoxiao's elbow: "What's the matter, why is it fenced?"

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Does my mother want to go and see?"

Zhuang Wanyi glared at Xu Xiaoxiao: "Where am I called a mother, I have a gossip character."

Zhuang Wanyi and Xu Xiaoxiao put down the tableware and walked towards the crowd.

"Hey, squad leader, you're here too, what's going on here?" Zhuang Wanyi patted the squad leader on the shoulder.

The squad leader was still climbing high and looking inside, and when he heard Zhuang Wanyi's words, he tilted his head and looked at her: "No, that Dong Jiu in our class splashed food on others."

"Splash?" Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at the squad leader in disbelief: "How can Dong Jiu's character be splashy?"

"At first, I didn't believe it, this is not good for many people to look at, but Dong Jiu is also very miserable, he was kicked just now, and he has no prestige at all."

"Wanyi, you go to the teacher, I'll drag it here"

Zhuang Wanyi nodded and walked towards the door of the cafeteria.

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but was pulled by the class leader: "Classmate, you usually help in the class, forget it, the one inside listens to them, it's not easy to mess with, forget it, forget it, they're addicted, it's fine."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled: "So, so, because I'm afraid of getting into trouble, I don't want to help even if I'm a classmate?" Even if you secretly tell the teacher, it will be better than if you are watching the fire from the other side now. ”

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, there was a faint anger in her eyes, and the squad leader's hand pulling her sleeve was also put down.

Xu Xiaoxiao squeezed left and right, which can be regarded as coming in.

She saw Dong Jiu lying on the ground holding his stomach, as if he wanted to get up, but he didn't have the strength to support him to get up.

Xu Xiaoxiao ran over and helped Dong Jiu up from the ground with great difficulty.

The moment Xu Xiaoxiao appeared, Dong Jiu was surprised and happy, but in addition to being surprised and happy, he was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would be involved in this accident, so he stretched out his hand and gently pushed Xu Xiaoxiao.

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could speak, Chen Zhen noticed this small action: "Why are people kind enough to help you, and you still push other people's beauties, right, beauty" Chen Xiao whistled like Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Bullying classmates?"

Chen Zhen spat out his lower lip, "I didn't bully him, he did it himself"

"Isn't it just a piece of clothing, aren't you just washing it, and beating people with your hands? It's all classmates, understand each other, can't it, you must fist and kick each other"

"Fists and feet? When did you get punches and kicks? This is his apology to me."

Xu Xiaoxiao sneered, this was the funniest joke she had ever heard: "Do you call beating people an apology?" Why don't you care if a handsome guy is called a beauty, and I believe he told you he's sorry before."

"I'm sorry, if it's useful, the police won't be useful."

Xu Xiaoxiao was just about to say something, and the teacher came.

"What's going on" Then the teaching director had a general understanding of the situation, "Chen Zhen apologized to people first, and then went back to the office with me, and when they finished eating, they would solve it together"

Chen Zhen bowed 90 degrees very cooperatively, "Classmate, I'm really embarrassed" Dong Jiu nodded.

"What good is the police if it is useful to apologize?" Xu Xiaoxiao interjected a sentence on the side, Chen Xiao turned his head and smiled at him: "The parties have forgiven me, don't fight" and left with the director.

Xu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and patted the food left on Dong Jiu's body.

Seeing this, Zhuang Wanyi also stepped forward and took pictures of the meal.

However, Dong Jiu was embarrassed to let these two help her, and hurriedly said, "I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." ”

Then the three of them didn't speak, and after a while, Xu Xiaoxiao spoke: "You go to the dormitory to change your clothes, let's sit there and eat and wait for you."

Dong Jiu nodded, said a good word, said thank you, and left.

When they were halfway through the meal, Dong Jiu came over, sat down, and the three of them had nothing to say.

"Thank you." Dong Jiu provoked the words, Xu Xiaoxiao snorted, Zhuang Wanyi was more enthusiastic than Xu Xiaoxiao: "Classmates, help each other, help each other, eat and eat."

When the food was almost over, the three of them went to the dean's office together.

Chen Zhen sat on the chair opposite the teacher, playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand: "Come on, sit down, there is a sofa over there"

Of course, no one paid attention to Chen Zhen and stood side by side.

"How do you want to solve it, talk to my brother" Chen Zhen looked at the three of them.

"You get up for me" Chen Zhen nodded, obediently listening to the teacher's words and standing up.

"We helped you wash your clothes, you also washed Dong Jiu's clothes, and settled it peacefully" Xu Xiaoxiao was not afraid of Chen Zhen, and looked at him very calmly, with a sincere look in his eyes, so sincere that Chen Zhen stammered when he talked to her: "Is it just like this, he splashed me, why should I give him his clothes and clothes?"

Xu Xiaoxiao snorted: "Why are you still stuttering, then how do you want to solve it?"

"He washes me, my clothes, and doesn't care when they're clean"

"No," Zhuang Wanyi also interjected, "Why don't you wash it, it's all you, teacher, you understand best" It's like a teacher.

"Okay, okay, let's wash their own in this case, and then Chen Zhen will go back to write a review, raise the national flag next Monday, and apologize on the national flag stand, that's all, let's go back and rest, and I have to go to class in the afternoon."

"Shut up, don't you want to graduate"

"Okay" Chen Zhen nodded, glanced at the three of them with a smile, and went out

When Chen Hang walked away, Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi also looked at each other and smiled, "It's done!"

Dong Jiu also smiled at Xu Xiao, and the two of them showed a smile. said thank you again, he really wanted to thank them, if it weren't for them, I am afraid that he would have to take a few kicks today, he didn't expect that everyone would be watching coldly, and someone would rush out to make decisions for him.

"How about your injuries, can you buy a medicine to apply?" Zhuang Wanyi knew that Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't say anything else, so she opened her mouth coldly.

Dong Jiu nodded.

"Then let's go to the classroom first."

Dong Jiu still nodded and waved at them.

Xu Xiaoxiao also stretched out his hand and made a gesture of saying goodbye, and said, "I'll see you later." ”

Zhuang Wanyi and Xu Xiaoxiao walked on the way back to class.

"I don't care about this school, it's too loose, I left my previous school, and I was expelled early" Zhuang Wanyi sighed with some emotion.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "This belongs to campus bullying, and the school doesn't care about it, it will definitely leave a shadow in Dong Jiu's heart."

"I can't help it, and society doesn't take it so seriously now, but it's going to get better slowly."

"In the future, I want to be a lawyer, and then I will help these bullied students," Xu Xiaoxiao said of her ideals.

Zhuang Wanyi knew that in the past two months with Xu Xiaoxiao, Xu Xiaoxiao has always been a person with a strong sense of justice.

After Dong Jiu bought the medicine, he went back to the dormitory alone, applied the medicine, his roommates were there, no one paid attention to him, but someone said when he went out: "It's so miserable, he was beaten, look at it"

Dong Jiu clenched his fists and went out again as if he was nothing.

In the classroom, he walked over to Xu Xiaoxiao's seat, and this time he didn't hesitate and walked over directly.

"Xiaoxiao..." Dong Jiu actually prepared a lot of words in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak when he saw Xu Xiaoxiao.

"What's wrong" Xu Xiaoxiao was neither enthusiastic nor cold, she still remembered what happened before when he pushed her away.

"Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean it before." Dong Jiu bit his lip, a little scared, he was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would not forgive him.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao didn't react, he thought she was angry, so he hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid that if you get too close to me, they will even bully you, and someone helped me when I was in junior high school, and later, he finally left because he couldn't stand this kind of bullying." ”

After Xu Xiaoxiao reacted to the meaning of these words, she did not open her mouth and frowned.

"I'm just afraid that you will be bullied, so I don't dare, I'm really just ......."

Dong Jiu's voice was a little small, but because it was close, he could hear it clearly, Xu Xiaoxiao interrupted him: "So do you think I'm a bully, you also need to resist, I found that you will only be silent, you have never spoken for yourself, just like Fu Xing bullied you, this time too, obviously someone pushed you, you don't dare to say it, you look like this, it will only make people feel better bullying, do you understand?"

"I resisted, too, but I was bullied even worse."

"I want to treat you as friends, no one has been friends with me before, I have acne on my face, I am not in good shape, and... It's still cowardly, but I think about it, the gap between us, you are glamorous, and I am not. Dong Jiu's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Actually, I made a lot of plans, but in the end I gave up, I understand what you said, but I don't dare to act, I'm afraid, an action, let me be ......."

When Dong Jiu said this, there were already some tears in his eyes, but he tried his best to hold back, ease his emotions, and continue to speak.

"Then I'll listen to what you say, let's get to know each other again, okay?"

After Dong Jiu said these words, he didn't speak.

3..2..1

Zhuang Wanyi pursed her lips and did not speak.

On the contrary, Xu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth first, "Hello Dong Jiu, I'm Xu Xiaoxiao"

"I'm Zhuang Wanyi, Xin Zhi." Zhuang Wanyi is not far behind.

"Hello, I'm Dong Jiu." Dong Jiu wiped a handful of tears and smiled.

"Okay, wipe your nose, you can see it's all flowing into your mouth."

"Ding-" After clearing up the misunderstanding, the class bell rang, but Dong Jiu and their mood changed.

The head teacher came in: "Students, if you want to pay the class fee, the other classes are already collecting, and our class should also collect it, and we are tentatively setting a 700 yuan now, no problem."

"No problem, no problem" The classmates in the class all echoed, only Dong Jiu, drooping his eyelids and gasping.

In fact, before elementary school, Dong Jiu's family environment was not so bad, but the disaster came from heaven, Dong Jiu's father had cancer, it was early when he was checked, and the doctor said that it could be cured, but when they smashed the pot and sold iron, they invested one sum of money after another, and even borrowed usury, but in the end they still did not stay, in fact, Dong Jiu hated his father, at that time the doctor said that there was no hope, but his father insisted that he could live, and secretly ran to borrow loan sharks, and finally he died, and he and his mother suffered.

In the past, when the family was well-off, relatives were helping each other, after the fall of the father, if they could clear the relationship, they would clear the relationship, and ask them to borrow some money first, either the child was in a hurry to use the money for school, or this has not had any spare money recently, think about the time when they used to borrow money, they did not hesitate to borrow it, and there was a relative, like Dong Jiu's family borrowed 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which is not a small amount, and even for Dong Jiu's current family environment, it is a large amount, but they are unforgiving. asked Dong Jiu's family to take out the IOU, how could I think so much at that time, I thought that relatives would pay it back, but I didn't expect that because of such a small sloppiness, people took advantage of the loophole.

A few days ago, loan sharks also came, saying that they must have 10,000 yuan at the end of the month, otherwise they will smash their mother's breakfast car, it is not easy for the mother to make money, she gets up early in the morning to sell breakfast, goes to other restaurants to wash dishes at noon, and goes to set up a stall in the evening, and has to provide for him to go to school, as well as bank loans, pay off the fixed payment every month, and pay the remaining money after paying the water and electricity bills, which is at most four or five hundred, but now it is so much at once, it can be regarded as the life of the family.

Dong Jiu went into the room when he got home, he didn't know how to explain the news to his mother, who was tired all day, he thought of a way to make money, to pick up bottles as before, to help people write homework, and wait, and in a few days, he would be 16 years old, and he could finally go out to find a job to help his mother share the pressure.

Mother came home is almost 12 o'clock, Dong Jiu has not slept yet, lying on the sofa, this house is still left to them by his dead father, there is a lot of space, mother is reluctant to sell, she said that here are the memories of her father and her, mother loves father very much, just when the father stubbornly said that he can live, to take out a loan, his mother supports him, but his father is more likely to be himself, he never thought about what the family will suffer after the loan, he left so selfishly, this is like a thorn, It was stabbed in Dong Jiu's throat, and he couldn't pull it out.

"Mom, it's hard work"

"What are you talking about, go to bed quickly, we have class tomorrow" Chen Shufen (Dong Jiu's mother) touched Dong Jiu's hair.

"Mom, when I'm 16, I'll go to work"

"What nonsense, your task now is to study, I spent so much money on you so that one day you can get ahead, and your mother will not let you repay these loans in the future, in the future, as long as you marry a wife and have children, you are safe, and have a stable income to live a lifetime, it is enough. Got it, hurry up and go to bed. Don't think about going to work or anything."

Dong Jiu nodded, "Mom, I'll work on the weekend, I won't fall behind in my studies, I'll ...... if I'm studying well now" Dong Jiu said as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he blinked, "I'll go to bed first" The sentence was still unspeakable, and he didn't want to say it, adding an unnecessary burden to his mother, and he would figure out how to do it himself.

Chen Shufen is also a very arrogant woman, as long as one of the immediate family members dies, she can receive special poverty student funding, but Dong Jiu's father has died for so many years, Dong Jiu has never received it, Chen Shufen told him: "Others can look down on us, we can't, we are not a very poor person, we are the same as ordinary people, you know" It was in the fourth grade, Chen Shufen said, and when he later understood this meaning, he wanted to get it and share the economic pressure, Chen Shufen still organized him: "You received this, Have you ever thought about what kind of pity they will look at you in case your classmates know, my mother can be a little tired, but my baby son can't be wronged" So in the end, Dong Jiu has not received any special assistance from the poor student, and he has never had any desire, including now, even if he is in a hurry to use the money, but when he thinks of this method, he directly pupss it, because he knows that his action will hurt his mother's own heart.

It just happened that because it was said on Friday, so pay on Monday, at that time VX payment was not as popular as it is now, so it was still more cash, and if you pay on Monday, Dong Jiu will have two days to work hard to raise money.

Dong Jiu in this weekend, ran all over the store near his home, found a job pretending to be a bear to attract customers, fortunately in October, the weather is getting cooler, put on this stuffy hood, did not sweat much, or relatively relaxed, 30 yuan an hour, 700 yuan is enough to stand for 24 hours, because this store is open 24 hours, and he has two days of vacation, so he chose to stand 24 hours a day, but these twelve hours are not short, except for sitting in the middle of the meal, There were also 11 hours a day on the feet.

11 hours a day, even if the autumn breeze is cool, but this impenetrable doll costume can't penetrate the wind, still sweaty, and the feet are also standing painful.

Making money is hard, especially working for others, you also need to watch other people's faces not get angry, and you also need to meet all the needs of guests.

Dong Jiu was already swollen when he soaked his feet in slippers at home, how tired it was, Dong Jiu was a novice, and he had never stood like this for a long time.

(I'm sorry, it's a little late tonight, mainly because the signal at home suddenly dropped after the typhoon, so I posted a short article very late, I'm really embarrassed.") )
