Chapter 25: Mother and Son
"Stinky boy, you explain to Lao Tzu clearly, what the hell is going on?" Before Shen Yinian could react, Zeng's father became angry, and slapped Zeng Yi with a big fan-like slap.
Zeng Yi seemed to have anticipated his movements, and hid behind Teacher Zhong with a sting, poked his head out and said, "Dad, this is at school, you have to save some face for me." ”
"Fuck your mother's face, you don't give Lao Tzu face, and you still want Lao Tzu to give you face?" Great-father couldn't beat him, so he glared at him.
"That's it, that's why I won't tell you at home." Zeng Yi muttered.
He turned his head to look at Shen Yinian again and said, "Shen Yinian, this time I owe you once, and next time you will have everything on me!" ”
He said it arrogantly, but he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he was afraid that he would not forgive himself.
You must know that although Shen Yinian refuses to be his younger brother, he is the boy he values the most in the class.
Good looks, good grades, and still the class president, but not like the class president next door who loves to sue behind his back, is the only student in the class who can win him in sports, the most important thing is to ask him to copy his homework is very refreshing, not like other people chirping crookedly.
Although he is sometimes jealous, in his heart, although Shen Yinian is not his iron buddy, he is also a good friend.
"Forgive me, but you'll be responsible for my gym class drinks from now on." Shen Yinian said with a smile.
"No problem!" Zeng Yi patted his chest and reassured.
"Wait, Zeng Yi and Shen Yinian, what the hell is going on, can you tell the teacher?" Teacher Zhong didn't understand for a long time, and asked.
Zeng Yi's face suddenly turned red, and it took him a long time to explain the matter.
"What did you say?" Zeng's father was not relieved at all because the person was not injured by his son. Instead, he said angrily: "At the critical moment, you actually pushed your classmates out as a shield? ”
"How do I usually teach you? How did you do such a terrible thing? Wouldn't you want to become a traitor during the Anti-Japanese War? ”
"When you go to the battlefield in the future, who will dare to hand over your back to you?"
As he spoke, he slapped Zeng Yi on the back.
Zeng Yi didn't hide. Shengsheng was unbearable, and cried profusely: "I didn't mean to, I really didn't want to pull Shen Yinian, I just wanted to pull a table to block it." ”
"You're not lying to me?" Seeing his son crying like this, Zeng's father was also distressed, but he thought of what his son had done. If you don't teach a lesson, you will get it later?
"Really, I swear!" Zeng Yi swallowed and said: "If I lie, let me hit five thunders in the sky, and I won't die well." "I've watched too many martial arts movies.
Great-father's face was much better. But he still said with a cold face: "After I go back, I will hit fifty palms." ”
Zeng Yi usually cried wolf when he hit his palms five times, but this time he nodded silently and did not refute at all.
"Wait, Mr. Zeng, you can't physically punish children." Teacher Zhong on the side protested.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong, I have a sense of proportion." Zeng's father had a good attitude towards the teacher, but he still insisted on his plan.
Teacher Zhong was a little helpless, and asked Zeng Yi, "Zeng Yi, what you said is true?" ”
It's not that she doesn't believe in children. It's really Zeng Yi's credit with her has run out.
"Teacher, I can testify that what Zeng Yi said is true." Shen Yinian on the side spoke.
Hear the words. Teacher Zhong didn't even hesitate before believing it, she called a child who came to the office to hand in his homework and asked him to go to the classroom and call Wen Jie over.
It didn't take long for a skinny boy to walk into the office.
"Teacher Zhong, is there anything you told me to do?" Although Wen Jie looked calm, the panic in his eyes when he saw Zeng Yi and Shen Yinian completely betrayed himself.
Teacher Zhong thought that this child was usually a little taciturn. But it can be regarded as excellent in character and learning, but I didn't expect to do such a thing. Suddenly said a little angrily: "Classmate Wenjie, don't you have anything to tell the teacher?" ”
The eyes of the three big and two small five people in the office all fell on Wen Jie, waiting for his answer.
Wen Jie clenched his fists. After a long time, he said nervously: "No." ”
"Wenjie, what do you mean? If you dare to do it, don't dare to be it, obviously you scratched Shen Yinian, don't dare to admit it! Before the others could react, Zeng Yi jumped up and pointed at him angrily.
The little boy looked embarrassed, pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "It's not me." ”
Lin Xiaoliang sighed, but Shen Yinian said, "Wen Jie, do you know why I didn't tell Teacher Zhong that it was you who hurt people before this?" ”
"Why?" Wen Jie was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked.
After asking, he immediately began to get annoyed, wouldn't this be a self-confession?
"Because I want to give you a chance." Shen Yinian looked at him and said with burning eyes: "I know that your family's conditions are not good, your mother is already very difficult to pay for your tuition, and the medical expenses are unbearable expenses for your family, and you are also worried about being expelled from school because of this incident." At the same time, you're worried that your mom will be sad because of it. ”
"At that time, I thought that with your pride, you will definitely have the courage to stand up and bear your mistakes, as long as you are given a little time."
"But now...... To be honest, I was disappointed. ”
With these words, Shen Yinian's face showed disappointment that matched his words.
Teacher Zhong was relieved to hear this, she used to wonder why Shen Yinian kept not telling her that it was Wen Jie who really hurt people, but now she knows that this is the case, this child is really kind.
"I ......" Wen Jie was a child after all, and couldn't help crying at this time, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but my family really has no money, my mother has to go to work every day, and she has to wash dirty clothes for others to make money, and she can only sleep four or five hours a day, and the money she earns is just enough for my tuition." Mom is working so hard, I don't want her to worry about me anymore. ”
Lin Xiaoliang sighed, squatted down and looked at him and said, "It's like your mother will worry about you, my son is almost disfigured, won't I be sad and sad?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you can hit me, or you will also cut a wound on my face......" Wen Jie said as he wiped his tears.
Seeing this, Teacher Zhong on the side couldn't help but show two points of unbearability on his face.
Lin Xiaoliang shook his head secretly, no wonder his son prefers the child named Zeng Yi, and he is just mediocre to this Wenjie.
Compared with Zeng Yi's previous sincere repentance, Wen Jie's remarks cannot be said to be true feelings, but there is no lack of calculation.
When he said that, in addition to apologizing, he was just trying to arouse their sympathy and reduce the compensation.
She knew that a child would have this kind of careful thinking, which was not unrelated to his life situation, but ......
She was also poor at the beginning, when her nephews and nieces were hungry or their clothes were torn and had no money, she always tried to make the soles of her shoes or pick up ears of rice for money, and never thought of relying on the sympathy of others.
If Shen Chi was here, she might appreciate Wen Jie, but she still likes people with more upright and frank personalities, regardless of adults or children.
She looked at Teacher Zhong and said, "The ointment used for the little rice cake is made by myself, so I won't count the money with him." In the hospital, including the original anesthesia and the anti-inflammatory potion that was hung later, plus the three-day hospitalization fee, a total of 56 yuan and 9 cents, let the child's family take out 56 yuan after leaving the odds. ”
Teacher Zhong wanted to say something, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact Wenjie's mother." ”
56 yuan is not a small amount, but it is not too much, her salary for two days is so much, but it is also a big expense for Wen Jie's family.
Wen Jie's expression was a little disappointed, but he still said, "I'll tell my mother." He felt that Shen Yinian's mother was a very gentle person, and thought that the other party would directly say that he didn't have to pay the medical bills at home.
He also felt embarrassed and ashamed in his heart for this sympathetic behavior, but the family really had no money, and his mother was reluctant to buy medicine when she caught a cold, saying that she would save the money to buy him new clothes for the New Year.
"Big sister, your kid is a disaster for my rabbit cub, these are my little thoughts, you take it and buy some good food for the child." At this time, Zeng's father dug out a stack of large solidarity in his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Xiaoliang's hand.
Lin Xiaoliang wanted to push it back, but Zeng's father made up his mind, and he hid his hand in his trouser pocket but refused to accept it, and she couldn't stuff the money into a big man's pocket, so she was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Auntie, you can take it. My dad has a lot of money, so it's not bad. Zeng Yi on the side said.
Lin Xiaoliang was helpless, so he could only accept the money in his hand.
Because it was already time for school to get out, Teacher Zhong simply didn't ask Shen Yinian and Zeng Yi to go back to class, and asked them to pack their schoolbags and send the two parents out of school in person.
"By the way, Mr. Zeng, there is something I almost forgot." When saying goodbye, Mr. Zhong suddenly looked at Zeng's father and said, "Where did the Swiss Army Knife in Zeng Yi's schoolbag come from?" ”
Zeng's father was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't put the things away and let the little rabbit turn them out." As he spoke, he pretended to be angry and patted Zeng Yi's head.
Zeng Yi rolled his eyes, that was obviously the reward you gave me for winning the second tiger next door!
As if seeing his son's disdain, Zeng's father glared at him.
Go back and see how I clean you up, the homework is not over yet.
Zeng Yi's face stiffened, thinking that it was over, the old bottom had been lifted, and he would not be able to cheat pocket money with the reason of good homework writing in the future.
How could Mr. Zhong not see the cattiness in his words, but it was just difficult to investigate.
After saying goodbye to each other, Lin Xiaoliang took the little rice cake and got on the bus home.
"Mom, I thought you wouldn't ask Wenjie for medical expenses." Shen Yinian was a little strange.
"Why?" Lin Xiaoliang was a little surprised.
Shen Yinian touched his nose, "The wounds on my face don't leave scars, hasn't my mother always been like this?" As long as you don't touch the bottom line, you can forgive others for their mistakes. ”
"That's different." Lin Xiaoyan touched his son's head and said, "I can't let others think that hurting my son doesn't cost anything." "She's tolerant, but she also depends on something.
Shen Yinian's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he happily leaned on Lin Xiaoliang and whispered, "Mom, I love you." ”
"I love you too." When his son grew up, he rarely said such intimate words, and Lin Xiaoliang kissed him on the cheek in surprise. (To be continued)
