Chapter 11: The Story of the Past
The sun shines quietly in the garden, and the villa is surrounded by peace and tranquility.
Jiang Ran, who had just turned 9 years old, took the award certificate issued by the teacher and ran towards home excitedly, followed by his aunt.
A burst of heart-rending cries filled the entire house, Jiang Ran silently crumpled the award certificate into a ball, and from that moment on, the tragic life of him and his mother began.
From the beginning to the end of the funeral, Jiang Zhe never appeared, disappearing like the world, and his mother was taking care of his grandparents' funerals while looking for Jiang Zhe's traces.
Mom trapped herself in her room day and night, without any contact with the outside world.
Jiang Ran always finished his homework obediently, ate alone obediently, went back to his room to sleep on time, and gradually, he didn't communicate too much with the outside world.
A month later, when Jiang Zhe blatantly brought a woman home with a swagger, Jiang Ran saw his mother crazy for the first time.
Jiang Zhe violently pushed his mother to the ground, and comforted the frightened woman with all his tenderness.
"What do you mean? Jiang Zhe, where have you been this month? Your parents are gone, you didn't even attend the funeral, and now you are still taking this wild woman home, are you crazy? Mom lay on the ground and roared angrily.
The aunt tightly protected Jiang Ran in her arms, "Sir, madam, is there anything to say?" It will scare Jiang Ran. ”
gloomily squatted down and pulled his mother's hair viciously, "I'm going to carnival!" Your parents are dead, and I can't go to the party! I don't have to whisper anymore, look at your faces, I beg to stay by your side, isn't it just to wait for this day! I didn't expect to come in advance, and I loved this car accident to death. ”
Silent tears rolled down her mother's desperate eyes, "You, how can you do this?" Jiang Zhe, do you have a conscience, when your parents were alive, they treated you. ”
"It's good to me, it's very good, but it's all right, you owe me, it's their atonement for you." Jiang Zhe let go of his hand indignantly.
Mom's forehead slammed to the ground, making a loud crashing sound, and tears blurred her vision.
Jiang Ran howled in fear and cried, hiding in his aunt's arms, his whole body trembling.
"What are you crying about, this is your mother's deserving." Jiang Zhe looked at Jiang Ran and whispered.
Mom suddenly jumped up and hit Dad in the back, and then the fight broke out.
Auntie's hopeless dissuasion voice shook Jiang Ran's ears, and a series of broken sounds echoed in the sky above, after the game, Jiang Ran stared at his mother who was lying on the ground crying in despair with tears and his father who pulled the woman away in style, and everything in front of him gradually turned black and white.
In the future, the appearance of his father must indicate the beginning of a bloody storm, Jiang Ran always habitually hides in the corner or in the arms of his aunt, quietly watching everything in front of him, every time his mother will be the loser of the game, and the punishment is all over the body, in the long run, his mother will gradually become depressed, no longer smile, and rarely interact and get along with Jiang Ran.
In the early autumn when he was fourteen years old, the Chinese teacher threw the test papers of several classmates on the lectern with a blushing face, "Why don't you write essays, why?" It's hard to write about your own dad, there are so many entry points, and a few of you actually don't write empty, and those who don't get the test papers stay in the classroom after school. ”
The classroom was suddenly silent, Bai Zimo buried his head deeply, and the tip of the pen made a rustling sound on the textbook.
Jiang Ran looked out the window expressionlessly, his hands uncomfortably mixed together.
Lin Wanbai looked at the teacher with red eyes, and her heart was pounding.
The sky was sinking, and the noisy school was gradually quiet.
The Chinese teacher glanced at it inadvertently, it was already dark outside the window, and sighed helplessly, looking at the seats where none of them had the idea of starting to write, "Whoever finishes the composition first will go home, I'll buy you something to eat, and write well in the classroom, Jiang Ran, you are a class cadre, set an example." ”
The lights in the hallway flickered on and off, and the sound of the whirring wind lingered in my ears.
For the first time, the three of them looked up at each other's unfamiliar faces, looked at each other and smiled, and spoke to each other for the first time.
"Why don't you write essays?" Lin Wanbai asked curiously.
"I don't have a father." Bai Zimo and Jiang Ran said in unison.
"What about you?" Jiang Ran asked.
"I don't have a dad either." Lin Wanbai said.
Suddenly, they burst into laughter, releasing the pent-up emotions of the day.
"If we don't write, we won't be able to go home, but this is simply a task that cannot be completed, so let's run away before the teacher comes back!" Jiang Ran quickly ran to the back of the door, and shook the locked door in annoyance, "The door is locked." ”
"Flip through the window! Anyway, it's the first floor, I'll go out first and meet you outside. Bai Zimo skillfully stood on the desk by the window.
Lin Wanbai stared at her trembling and swaying body, her eyes were full of fear, "You, be careful, classmate, if you fall, it will be very dangerous." ”
"Don't worry about me, running away is what I do best, you guys hurry up and keep up!" Bai Zimo quickly climbed out of the window.
Jiang Ran led the timid Lin Wanbai to climb onto the table and escorted her out of the window.
The sound of "crackling" footsteps disappeared at the end of the hallway, and they ran faster and faster until they were completely out of the school.
After going back and forth in the cake shop for a long time, he handed all the money he had put together to the cashier, and sat down in the rest area with bread.
Lin Wanbai divided the bread into 3 portions and handed them to each other, "If you are a boy, you will be a little hungrier, so it doesn't matter if we eat less." ”
This long-lost care made his heart feel warm, and Jiang Ran's red face was full of happiness, and he took a big gulp into his mouth.
Soft music flowed in the cake shop, they looked at each other, sometimes smiling silly, sometimes sucking their little fingers, and then, one after another, hiccups in satisfaction,
"I don't want to go home, the teacher will definitely call my mom, I don't want to go home." Jiang Ran lay on the table.
"I don't want to go home either, my dad will definitely beat me." Lin Wan's white pupils flashed with fear.
"Then go to my house! I don't have anyone else in my house. Bai Zimo suggested enthusiastically.
Their eyes turned to Bai Zimo, and they nodded with a smile.
