Chapter 12: A Promise Promised

After the turmoil of divorce passed, life returned to peace.

In order to facilitate the care of Limingzhi, Zhang Yan looked for a school district room near the school. The school district house in the 90s was not too expensive, and it was within the acceptable range of both mother and daughter.

Li Mingzhi also believes that buying a house and investing at this time is a steady and unprofitable business.

After living by yourself, it's almost over, and you can still take advantage of the rise in housing prices to sell it and earn a middle price.

But also because of this, Mrs. Zhang temporarily accompanied Limingzhi to school when she went to and from school. Zhang Yan went to find a suitable house.

The school is a small society.

Although Limingzhi is a primary school student, many of each other's parents know each other, and almost all the students in the same class know that Limingzhi's family has big news after taking a leave of absence for nearly a week, and his parents are divorced!

"I used to look at her unpleasantly!"

"Every day her dad drives to pick her up, she's very rich, isn't he?"

"I didn't see her give us food, the family is so rich, every time I come to school, I only bring one to eat. It's really annoying. ”

……

Five or six classmates gathered, muttering quietly, glancing back with disdain from time to time.

Dawn Branch, who was sitting at the last table of the first group, couldn't help but pull her lips, smiled bitterly, pretended not to hear, and flipped through the book.

What was the past life like? She doesn't remember much anymore.

Probably they muttered. Because he grew up pampered, he had a big temper, and he didn't care much about people who didn't look down on him, and several people in the class had poor family conditions, old and ugly clothes, and his temper and personality were timid and sensitive, and he couldn't play, so he simply kept a distance from them.

The impression left on people is roughly: withdrawn, looking down on people, stingy, weird, and the grades are very average.

After so many days of vacation, and the first time he took classes since he was reborn, Limingzhi was in a trance all day, feeling that it was incredible, but also embarrassing that his popularity was so outrageous when he was a child.

There is still a 38 line left on the table.

She made a mistake in writing the mock exam paper, and wanted to borrow an eraser from her tablemate, but her tablemate ignored her.

Dawn Rudely scribbled out the wrong word, and wrote a small correct word behind it.

I finally survived the day.

The bell rang for the end of class, and I walked slowly in the last dawn branch of the crowd, and unfortunately was blocked by a few middle school students at the school gate.

"I heard that your parents are divorced, and your mother got a sum of compensation. There should be no shortage of pocket money on hand, right? A yellow-haired thug with a solid wooden stick in his hand, gently patting his palm, asked in a tone.

Dawn Branch was stunned.

The news spread so quickly. It's really good things that no one spreads, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

"Whether you want to give money or get beaten, you can do it yourself." Said two other boys who were about the same age as the yellow hair.

A few classmates in the class stood in the distance, watching this end with cold eyes. A few even smiled gloatingly.

Limingzhi suddenly looked surprised: "Headmaster-"

A few thugs followed Dawnbranch's gaze and looked sideways, but they didn't have time to see clearly. Dawn suddenly drilled into a dog hole on the side, although it was better to drill the dog hole than to be beaten.

She's petite, and there's no pressure on her doghole.

A few thugs bypassed a wall and chased after them. Dawn took out her lighter-sized expensive video recorder and recorded the danger of being chased and run as she ran.

"If you don't stand still, if you catch it, you will break your legs!" Someone behind said viciously.

Dawn quickly stuffed the VCR into her bag and locked the zipper with her backhand to prevent it from being lost. But he was busy and distracted, and he fled too quickly, and his feet slipped and rolled down the sticky downhill beaten by the rain to the stinky ditch next to him.

The dirty black water soaked the clothes and pants, and the smell was all over the body.

Not to mention that the gangsters who chased him were stunned, even Limingzhi himself was stunned. The smell was so bad that she almost cried out of her tears.

"Ahh

One of the men who was about to catch her slipped under his feet, but luckily his hand grabbed his companion and did not fall into the stinking ditch.

But the solid wooden stick in his hand flew out.

A few thugs widened their eyes in fright, they were just scaring and scaring the junior ones to make a little money. I didn't think something would happen! But that piece of solid wooden stick can even be smashed out of an adult into a red envelope, is it hard to guarantee that the younger primary school students will not be stoned to death with a stick!?

Shout.

The stick dragged and flung in the air with inertia, the speed was as fast as lightning, and there was even an iron nail with an inner buckle at one end of the stick!

"If only we could stop! I'll be able to get out of it! Dawn sprang up on her hands and feet, but the stick was so fast and so close that the corner of the nail almost pierced her wide eyes.

The moment the thought flashed, the stick froze for a second, and the dawn branch flashed dangerously. I heard the sound of wood smashing against the wall. Dawn Branch looked sideways, and his heart was about to burst out of his throat, and the wall was poked into a small hole by the iron nail in the stick!

If you hit your eyes, you're ruined!

Dawn only felt that the moment when she suddenly froze was a little strange.

The thought flashed away, she had no leisure at the moment, and while the thugs did not ease up, Dawn Branch ran along the path with oil on the soles of her feet.

I ran for a long distance before I saw a well and a bucket with ropes by the door of the family's house.

Dawn walked over and saw a kind old lady, wearing a blue cloth shirt and black pants and sandals, drying her clothes, and shouted into the house: "Two hangers are enough, can you find it?" ”

"Yes."

A clean and good-looking boy walked out, wearing a high school blue and white uniform, and walked out with a hanger in his hand.

In just a moment, his gaze was fixed on the embarrassed Dawn Branch.

"Huh?" The old lady also saw the dawn branch and was surprised. Seeing that the stinky ditch on Limingzhi's body was dirty, he hurriedly pulled Limingzhi to the edge of the well, "Child, come, grandma will wash you, where did you fall?" How did you fall like this? ”

The old lady was familiar with herself, and when she saw the little girl fall like this, she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart.

He Jiangmu walked over: "Grandma, this is my classmate's sister, you can find a set of cousin's clothes for her to change into." ”

The old lady was busy getting it.

Limingzhi was surprised: "She's your grandmother?" Seeing He Jiangmu nodding, Limingzhi admired from the bottom of his heart, "People are really enthusiastic!" ”

"Yes. There are many children in the family, and they are all taken care of by their grandmothers. ”

The old lady took her clothes and pants and asked Dawn to change them. and gave her a cloth bag for dirty clothes and pants.

"I'll send her back and come back later." He Jiang Mu said.

He sentenced his biological father to occasionally come to his grandmother's house for a day or two on Friday evenings and go to school on weekends.

Walked a long way.

He Jiangmu said: "How could you fall like this? ”

Limingzhi pouted aggrievedly: "I was stopped and blackmailed by a few thugs." ”

After a pause, "You'll accompany me to the police later." I have video proof. ”

The worry in He Jiangmu's eyes dissipated, and a helpless smile swept the corners of his lips: "Do you still take this with you when you go out?" ”

Dawn didn't answer, and she didn't bother to explain.

The two went to the police station and handed over all the evidence.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and when it comes out, it is almost six o'clock, and the vast sky is filled with gorgeous and charming sunsets.

Dawn Zhi sat on the soft lawn and rested, really unable to walk.

He Jiangmu stood still and did not move.

"Sit down and rest for a while." Limingzhi raised his chin, and his smiling eyes stared at He Jiangmu.

He Jiang Mu sat beside her.

The two were silent for a moment.

Dawn remembered the loud slap in the rain, and her heart twitched and stinged. She suddenly spoke:

"He Jiangmu."

"Huh?"

"You can't live without the ideals you want to chase in life, right?" Dawn held his cheeks and looked at He Jiangmu sitting beside him with a smile.

He Jiangmu, who was tall and thin, heard the words, propped his hands behind his back, lazily crossed the long legs of his jeans, raised his eyes to look at the orange sunset sky, the sultry wind blew in his face, and in the hot season, he raised a pleasant smile because of the existence of the girl next to him.

"Li Chengcheng and I both enrolled in the Army Military Academy, and I plan to be a soldier for the rest of my life." He Jiangmu's voice smiled, the phoenix eyes glanced at Limingzhi, and saw that Limingzhi's eyes lit up, as if he was proud of him, He Jiangmu's eyes lit up with a smile, and the conversation box couldn't help but open: "I want to protect myself, protect the people around me, and when people mention me, they are proud." ”

Dawn suddenly wanted to hug this 'big brother'.

The injury of the family gave him a cold appearance and a delicate and sensitive heart.

I want to be recognized, but I don't want to ask for mercy. He has the pride that comes out of his bones.

Dawn Zhi followed the thought, stood up, walked over emotionally, put his hands around his neck, buried his head on his broad shoulders, and silently gave him a comforting hug.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." Dawn Branch said softly.

The sweet and glutinous voice sounded word by word in my ears. He Jiangmu, who was not used to being hugged, put down the hand that was about to push her away, and quietly leaned on her shoulder, and there was a good smell of laundry detergent between his noses.

His thin lips were raised, and the smile on his handsome face was not as ethereal and unreal as it used to be.

This girl, the girl named Dawn Branch, he remembered.

Will wait until she grows up.

Become his woman. Always protect her.

He Jiangmu silently made a promise because of a warm hug. A promise that Dawn Branch does not know.
