Chapter 11: The Love of the Iron Head
Iron Head's days in cram school should be happy and exciting.
In cram schools, there is an interesting pattern among some poor students: many students like Tietou are from relatively good families and are forced to study by their parents.
Tietou is really not the material for reading, since he came to the county middle school repeat class, he has been the penultimate in the middle grade of the entire county in the past few months, which has made him a celebrity. After each exam, the students will get together in groups of three and two to discuss Tietou's results, due to the contradictions and grievances of the Yellow House in the past, I am a little gloating at everyone's ridicule of Tietou's results, and I also pay special attention to the content of the discussion.
"Look, he's the iron head, he's the worst person in our school's graduating class and repeating class."
"Well, you see, he looks very strong!" "yes, yes, he's pretty handsome." ”
"I heard that his family is quite rich."
"So rich, what's the use of studying?"
"yes, yes, maybe people don't care about grades at all."
"Shhh——, don't say it, he's coming, look, he's so cool!".
The Iron Head staggered over like a bear and walked straight to his seat with a grin. He seemed to hear some talk, but he didn't care. I didn't get the reviews I was expecting, and I even wondered if there was something wrong with my ears, and I couldn't help but feel sad when I remembered what people were saying about me after my article amazed the whole school a few months ago.
For a while, I even had some doubts that what was wrong with people's values would make good things turn bad and bad things turn into good things. At the same time, I began to doubt the impartiality of the power of public opinion, and for the first time I felt that there was still such inequality in the world. This inequality makes me doubt my own judgment, in fact, what are the absolute right and wrong things in the world? After I gradually calmed down, I began to feel that everyone's evaluation of Tietou was indeed objective, and the evaluation of me was also fair, but the angle of evaluation was different.
A thorough exam, the iron head score got a single digit, the substitute teacher seems to have gotten used to it, didn't say anything at first, and then continued to talk to everyone about the test questions after the test papers, when the class was about to end, the snoring of the iron head came from the back row, the teacher really couldn't help it, and in the past, he grabbed the iron head's ear, carried it to the podium, and in front of the whole class, let him explain what happened, the iron head may have been frightened, maybe he didn't wake up, he looked at the teacher in a daze, and then looked at the whole class, squinted, wiped his saliva, made a standing posture with his feet, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, I didn't actually do anything." I'm sorry for everyone. The room was full of laughter.
The substitute teacher stomped his foot angrily, and in the bell of the end of class, he left angrily.
As soon as the teacher left, Tietou did not immediately get down from the podium, but picked up chalk, wrote the blackboard, and wrote a few crooked characters: "Cherish your youth and sleep well." The cram school immediately boiled. A few mischievous students rushed to the podium and raised their iron heads, and the dull classroom was given a rare opportunity to have a complete.
Tietou is so high-profile and naughty, he has completely recovered his demeanor in the Yellow Mansion period.
Iron Head soon has many admirers of the opposite sex, including a girl named Na, whose family is from the county seat, and her obsession with Iron Head is the most eye-catching.
Na is very beautiful, white and pure, plump and graceful, very tall, quiet, wearing a pair of glasses, two apricot eyes, and looking forward to shining. Na's grades are also not bad, above average. He is a seed player who repeats the class entrance examination, and is very loved and concerned by teachers, and has also received the pursuit of many male students in cram schools during this period.
Na pursued Tietou very high-profile, she first asked the teacher to sit down, sit in the back row and Tietou adjacent to the table, and then took over all the homework tasks of Tietou, and from time to time brought a lot of strange snacks from home to Tietou, and openly invited Tietou to go out to eat together, under Na's passionate love offensive, Tietou soon fell, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.
They went in and out publicly, and they went in and out together, and it didn't take long for the two to fall in love with the whole class and even the whole school, and one of the advantages of cram school is that the relationship between students and teachers is very harmonious, in the teacher's opinion, the students in cram school have half a foot in society, and everyone has the right to make their own choices, so Na and Tietou's love affair did not encounter any official interference, and gradually got the recognition of the classmates.
There are thousands of ways to express love, this is what I summarized from the love between Tietou and Na, they openly greeted me and me, hugged and hugged the scale beyond the expression of the average campus couple at that time, I was very envious, and even a little jealous, Tietou has such good peach blossom luck, and such a beautiful girl takes the initiative to like him.
In comparison, I am emotionally restrained and inferior, but reality will always remind me that I don't have the capital like an iron head. This is a small class difference, and it seems that I and Iron Head are completely two worlds. I don't have the capital to confess, I don't have the capital to pursue, I don't even have the capital to burden, I don't have time to waste, and even thinking about it is a luxury. I have already experienced a failure in the college entrance examination, when the whole hope of the family is pinned on me, I cherish this hard-won tutoring opportunity so much, where do I have the courage to talk about love like an iron head? The temporary void of love accelerates the maturity of the other end of the mind, and theoretically, from a student's point of view, I already have some shallow awareness of the cruelty of society. This kind of consciousness makes me have to stay awake, recognize my goals, suppress my emotions, and do my current things seriously, which is not a good thing for me who is also growing up in adolescence.
However, from the iron-headed love, we can easily conclude a truth, that is, in many cases, people tend to give up what they can have in front of them to pursue the unrealistic so-called happiness in the future, in fact, in the end, what you really have is the real happiness that belongs to you, and they have each other in the golden age when they are young, isn't this a kind of happiness? Therefore, the iron head is lucky and happy.
In the cram school, I witnessed Tietou's love history, his love concept of daring to love and hate, the concept of living in the moment's consumption, and under the guarantee of superior family conditions, everything has become so exciting. Let me, a poor boy, completely open my emotional horizons, and my concept of him has changed from jealousy at the beginning to reverence, and finally I even feel that his various experiences will never be beyond my reach.
On a very hot summer day, the bell rang for a long time after the evening self-study of the cram school, I lit a candle and read a mock test book, due to the stuffiness in the room, and the lack of electricity, many people who were used to staying in the classroom after school to review were gone, and I was the only one in the classroom. I forgot the time, and I didn't care too much about the temperature in the room, suddenly, the door of the classroom was rushed open by a mass of figures, and the person who came in was tall and big, it was the iron head who came in with Na in his arms, I looked up at them, ignored them, lowered my head and continued to do my test, the iron head saw that there was no one in the room, and unexpectedly, very gentlemanly nodded to me, and Na walked to the back seat.
They were laughing softly in the back seats, chatting about something, it was already late at night, the classroom was very quiet, and I heard a few words of conversation clearly.
"You're so stupid, why did you get so many points in the test this time?" Na's voice,
"I'm stupid, do you like it? Well? Ironhead replied in a low voice.
There was a sound of soot.
"Giggles, I like your stupid look."
"What else do you like?"
"Loved everything about you."
"Oh, don't touch me, itchy."
"Bad guy, where's the itch?" There was a snap, a very crisp thug's voice.
Then, the girl's delicate gasp voice: "Oh, don't make trouble, there are still people in the classroom!" ”,
"It's okay, it's okay, he won't say anything, he's my fellow countryman in the town!"
"Ah---h
The strange sound made me subconsciously and curiously turn my head to look at the back row, only to see two young, white and bright bodies entangled in love, which were particularly eye-catching in the dim candlelight.
Like an electric shock, I bounced up from my seat, frantically blew out my candles, picked up my books lightly, and rushed out of the study hall like a mouse with a burning tail. The candles in the back row of the classroom were immediately extinguished, and there was a forgetful and cheerful ** sound in the darkness.
......
What a lucky boy the iron head was, in his best years, he met a girl he liked, and the girl liked him just as much, liked his shortcomings, liked everything about him.
Time is the best god of youth memory and the best witness of love.
Many years later, I returned to the county on business, in the old county gate of the chestnut stall met the iron head, the years of grinding, the thick hair of the iron head became bare, turned into a bald head, he was bending down to clean up his stall, he no longer recognized me at all, behind him, stood a familiar and somewhat strange, bloated woman, white and fat, with a pair of glasses. She was shouting vigorously, selling their chestnuts, and from the skillful cooperation of the two, you could clearly read their tacit understanding and happiness.
Compared with the happiness of the iron head, Dagang also experienced a love in the cram school, but his love story has a variety of tragic elements, I think people who believe in the fate of love, will have a unique opinion on such a strange emotion, right?
