Chapter 7: A Slap in the Face

32

I looked at him with half of my face covered, and my hand was still frozen in the air. I was probably surprised that I was so angry. Push him away and run out. Afterwards, I heard Aunt Zhang say that when I was writing English test questions in the study, my brother went out to tell Aunt Zhang that I was eating here in the evening, and asked Aunt Zhang to cook a few more dishes, and I made all the dishes I liked, and asked Aunt Zhang to buy drinks. When I ran out of the door, I happened to meet Aunt Zhang who came back from buying a drink.

I wiped my tears and ran home, but I didn't know where it was. I came in his car, and I don't know what it is. I wanted to take a taxi, but I didn't have any money. Stop-and-go finally saw the bus stop. It took me a long time to figure out the route home, and I had to change trains to get home.

After I left, my brother didn't chase him out, so he must have been really angry. Shut the door with all your might. A man sat in his study and smoked all afternoon until the evening. There were my math notes on the table, and he kept looking through them. I wrote a passage in an inconspicuous place, which I only saw when I "lost" him.

A good meal that night was ruined by my nervousness.

After changing trains once, I finally got home, and I knew it was my mistake. My brother is for my good, I just can't control my mouth, those swear words don't go through my brain at all, they are all blurted out.

This is who I am, who I am at seventeen, who I am. If it weren't for my mother's strict management, let alone the university, I might have been an "idle person" in society, and I was rebellious to the extreme. Reckless venting, in exchange for the result of hurting the people who love you, may be irreparable when you really realize that you are wrong.

There was a cake shop on the side of the road, and there was no baking at that time, let alone private baking. Looking at the various cakes displayed in the window, I stopped and looked at it in a trance. My brother said he had a birthday on Wednesday, so let's get one for him on Tuesday. Go pick a gift for him again, and he should be happy. How can I be shy in my pocket, and I can only choose the same gift and cake. I'm standing here struggling.

"What are you thinking about standing here?"

"Mom?"

"Mom, when are you coming back?"

"What are you standing here looking at, you've been watching it for a long time. What are you doing? ”

"Oh, it's not math cram school this afternoon, I just got back on the bus to see the cake."

A faint sadness crossed her mother's face. It was an era of family planning, and there were few two children in the family. Our family background was okay. However, because of the change in his father's work, the family's economic situation has not been particularly good recently. The farm has just started to operate, and my sister is in a foreign country, and the cost of college is naturally higher. Mother always felt that she couldn't be bitter for her eldest daughter who was alone, so if she could save it, her father and mother would also save it, and the saved one would be given to her sister who was away from home. It's not uncontrollab, it's 500 yuan a month, including all the food and clothing.

Probably my mother thought I wanted to eat the cake so she didn't leave, and she was a little sad. Even if she doesn't like me anymore, I'm still her second daughter. It is said that no one can be bitter when it is bitter, but after all, during the special period, it is also possible to save the province, and these mothers who eat rarely buy it for me, they are so old that they can't walk when they see food, and his old man will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

At that time, I didn't realize this, so I went home. The mother watched for a while and followed. She didn't suspect that I wasn't really going to class, and she didn't see anything unusual on the left side of my face. So there are no absolutes in this world. Although there was a quarrel and a beating, it was better than having dinner at my brother's house at night and coming back to meet my mother!

I was still thinking about whether I could go to his birthday on Wednesday and how to prepare a birthday gift, I really wanted to prepare a birthday gift, even if it was inconspicuous, even if he didn't need it, even if it wasn't worth it, but at least I was attentive. Because when I choose a gift, I think about him, I think about him, I think about whether he will be happy when he receives something, whether he will like it.

I had dinner with my mother. The mother said that his father's side was basically on the right track, and he would go back the day after tomorrow to send some food and clothing to his father, and he would not go back before the college entrance examination. The day after tomorrow is Tuesday. "How many days will you go back and stay then?" "Let's go on the weekend." Watching her mother take out fifty yuan from the bag next to her and put it on the table, "Save some money for living expenses these days, and call you again if I don't come back on the weekend." Your dad is fine, maybe he'll be back on Wednesday, "Huh?" Don't come back, don't come back, your heart is broken and silent.

When I went to bed at night, I was still thinking that with this fifty yuan gift, it shouldn't be a problem, and I didn't have the money to buy a similar watch. But the cake is still a little lacking, but I really want to buy a cake. I think that there must be a cake for my birthday, and my birthday is over without a cake. Completely forgot about the quarrel in the afternoon, and the "Five Finger Mountain" on the left side of the face. My mind was full of "little girl" thoughts, and I fell asleep happily as if nothing had happened in the afternoon. I don't have a heart or lungs, and I probably say it's like this.

On the other side of the city, in a bar, the lights change with the music, the bass music is deafening, and the dance floor is filled with men and women. Wang Hao and Shen Jue just lowered their heads and drank, as if this noisy environment had nothing to do with them.

Wang Hao cupped one glass after another, and there were already more than a dozen empty wine bottles on the bar. "Brother Hao, I'm out to get drunk tonight. What's wrong, the little girl hurt you? Shen Jue teased, "A little girl doesn't have any appearance, but she's a little tender, as for it?" Don't say it's a real emotion. ”

The slender fingers held the cigarette to his lips, inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, "I hit her." "Another glass of wine, so fast that you could barely see the swallowing action.

"What's wrong with you? You are famous in our circle for how hard you shoot, you beat her, how did you beat her. Don't you don't beat women, how can you beat little girls? Is the little girl still alive? Shen Jue was shocked by Wang Hao's action of beating the little girl. Continue to ask, "Don't you like her, I was disgusting to look at it crookedly last time in the Love Garden, why did you do it today?" "I don't understand.

Wang Hao repeated today's experience in a deep voice. Shen Jue arrived, and was interested, "Xiao Nizi is amazing, and she can still take your slap." I want you to slap out a few of my teeth back then! Is it mercy or pity for the subordinates today? Or our famous Brother Hao, who has also changed his temper now, knows the severity. ”

It is said that back then, Wang Hao was also a tyrant in this "aristocratic" circle. There are two reasons for the hegemony, one is that Wang Hao is the best learner and the most educated in their generation in the circle, and the other is that he has studied karate and taekwondo, and he is the highest rank. It is said that Wang Hao is very smart, and the reason why he mentions that he has the highest education is because he has been skipping grades when he was in school, and when he was 20 years old, he had already obtained a master's degree from Stanford University School of Law and the School of Business Studies. His father also threw him into the U.S. special forces in order to sharpen him. The purgatory-like tempering of the American special forces gave him inhuman willpower. He was 24 years old when he returned home. His family's strength and power are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At that time, he was rebellious, and he always felt that he had lived for his parents or for the pride of his parents for 24 years, and he wanted to live for himself after 24 years.

He insisted on leaving, but his parents couldn't dissuade him, so they had to let him go. He left his homeland and went to the north, a city with sandstorms that did not see the light of day in the spring and snow-capped cities in the winter, and started his own business. When he left, his parents strongly objected, and they didn't give him any more money except for a year's worth of food and clothing. Although today's career is not too big, it has grown from scratch to tens of millions in four years, and this growth momentum cannot be underestimated.

The number of empty wine bottles on the bar is increasing, and Wang Hao thinks that drinking one cup at a time is too slow, and it is already one bottle at a time. Shen Jue was afraid that he would drink too much and snatch the beer that had just been opened in his hand. "That's pretty much it, buy drunk here for whom. The little girl couldn't see it again. Do you really like her? ”

Without speaking, he opened the wine in his hand.

"Why do I like her, I don't see anything about her that fascinates me." Shen Jue looked disdainful, "If you want to be nothing, if you don't have one, you have a tender face." You have a crush on the little girl and is a chick, right? There are a lot of them in school, and we still lack this! The man was also good-looking, with a smile on his lips and a smile in his eyes.

"She's different. She never asked anything about me, she was with me, you know? She even said that my Land Rover was like a van. I never asked for anything more than I paid for food, and I never reached out to ask for anything. said that she was young, and always felt that she had a kind of maturity that she should not have at her age, and sometimes felt naΓ―ve to the extreme. There is always a lollipop in her mouth, and it seems that a lollipop is all her dreams. I had a feeling that I just wanted to guard her. ”

"Yo Yo Yo, this sounds good, why didn't I see that she was as good as you said. You have changed women more frequently than you have changed clothes in recent years, and you have guarded it, and your face has betrayed your heart. What do you use to protect it, the little girl is still so young, if you are admitted to college and can't come back, you want to start a business again? Or are you planning to talk about a long-distance relationship, if she is really as good as you say, there will be a lot of young people in college and your share? With your temperament, you still want to keep it. If you can guard her for more than three years, and you don't find any other woman except her for three years, I will give you a million. That's all for now. ”

Wang Hao stopped talking and glared at Shen Jue. Shen Jue was sure that he couldn't do it, and was smiling and drinking when he heard a sentence, "Prepare your million." After that, the people around him got up and left. Before Shen Jue understood what was going on, Wang Hao got into the car and left.

The bartender walked up to Shen Jue's side, "Sir, you have spent a total of 3,838 yuan." ”

"Grass, this grandson, how much did you drink, but I didn't drink you directly." Paid the bill and left angrily.

Wang Hao asked the driver to drive the car downstairs to my house, and he sat in the car all night that night and never left. He decided that his watch would start from this moment. At dawn, he left again, leaving only a cigarette case and countless cigarette butts on the ground.
