Fifteenth Night: An accident within an accident
God asks a young man: Where is your ideal?
The young man replied: I don't know, maybe in the south, maybe in the north.
God asks: Where is your love?
The young man replied, "I don't know, maybe in the east, maybe in the west."
God asks: Where are you at the moment?
The young man replied: I don't know, maybe in the early morning, maybe at dusk.
God asked, "Then you don't know where your home is?"
The young man replied: Yes, home is behind me, in my dreams, on the other end of the phone, where he looks at me.
The nature of Liu Jun's mistake was so serious that he no longer had the opportunity to return to No. 2 Middle School to continue his studies, but fortunately, his family members used various connections to negotiate everywhere and gave him the opportunity to transfer to No. 3 Middle School.
However, although Liu Jun himself pulled back, this time he stepped out of the school gate, but his heart could not be pulled back to the campus. No matter how much persuasion his family has, he can't change his stubborn mind.
Fortunately, there are also Chen Wen, the most important people to him besides his family.
Taking advantage of the weekend after school, Chen Wen and Wen Xiaoguo went to No. 3 Middle School to visit him, and it happened that Liu Jun's father happened to be in the dormitory. For Liu Jun, that afternoon was the most important change in his high school career.
"I heard that you're in a mood again?" As soon as Chen Wen entered the door, he yelled at Liu Jun, but the tone of his speech was really high, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Liu Jun's father was also present. But what Chen Wen didn't know was that their rash visit, or Chen Wen's clamour, broke the silence and hostility that had been maintained in the room for a long time.
"What's wrong? Don't want to study again? Wen Xiaoguo asked:
"Well, I don't want to read it." Liu Jun sat on the bed opposite his father, looking decadent.
"Fourth, you've eaten too much dog food, right? Why don't you study? Do you want to go to the construction site to pick up bricks in the future? Chen Wen dissuaded.
The two of them surrounded Liu Jun and foamed at the mouth for a long time, Liu Jun has been silent, although he is listening carefully to Wen Xiaoguo and Chen Wen's Xiaozhi with emotion and reason, but his heart is not touched at all, stubbornly sticking to his own ideas, and has been silent, not refutating, not answering.
"The third middle school is also very good, it's not far from the second middle school, and our brothers can still meet on the weekend and play ball together." After Wen Xiaoguo finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Jun's father.
Obviously, all the work that the family can do has been done, and his father is powerless, with a helpless and disappointed face, he shook his head, and then pointed at Liu Jun, giving Wen Xiaoguo a look for help.
Wen Xiaoguo looked at Liu Jun's father, suddenly remembered his family, looked back at Liu Jun's listless appearance, his face sank, and his mind quickly captured all kinds of persuasive words.
"I ran away in vain? The money for the tickets cut out of the brothers' food expenses was spent in vain? Chen Wen questioned:
Liu Jun didn't speak, and he didn't raise his head to think about his thoughts.
"Fourth, let me ask you, to read, or not to read?" After Wen Xiaoguo finished speaking, he sat next to Liu Jun:
After waiting for a long time, Liu Jun remained silent.
"Liu Jun, let me ask you again, read? Or don't read? Wen Xiaoguo's emotions were a little intense, and his tone became a little serious.
Everyone was waiting for his reply, but Liu Jun still didn't say a word.
Boom!
Liu Jun seemed to have a dizzy light flashing in front of him, Wen Xiaoguo suddenly punched Liu Jun in the face, knocking Liu Jun over from the bed and falling to the ground, he didn't react, he looked at Wen Xiaoguo with a frightened face, and Wen Xiaoguo's hand was also aching faintly.
Liu Jun was stunned, this was the first time he was beaten by his classmates in front of his father.
Chen Wen was stunned, this was the first time he saw Wen Xiaoguo, who was usually weak, angry.
Liu Jun's father was also stunned, this was the first time he watched his son being beaten by outsiders in person.
For Wen Xiaoguo, this is also the first time in his life that he has beaten someone.
The whole room is surprisingly quiet, and the noise of the corridor outside the door and the hustle and bustle of the campus outside the window are all audible and recognizable.
Liu Jun was stunned for a long time, stood up silently, and sat down on the bed again.
Wen Xiaoguo took out a seven-yuan Hongtashan cigarette box from his pocket, but took out a few 16-yuan Lanzhou cigarettes from it and handed them to Liu Jun and his father.
Wen Xiaoguo lit one for Liu Jun's father, turned around and handed Chen Wen a cigarette, but Chen Wen was still stunned in the scene that had just happened, and he was frightened and did not have the slightest desire to take a cigarette.
Wen Xiaoguo then handed Liu Jun a cigarette, and after helping him light it, he also smoked it. They seem to be completely non-existent as Liu Jun's father.
Halfway through the cigarette in Liu Jun's mouth, the ashes fell to the ground along with his tears.
"Fourth, if you want to blame, you can blame, if you want to hate, I don't care, but I hope you listen to the second child, don't fall behind with your brothers, study hard, and take the university entrance exam well."
"Second child, I don't blame you, and I don't hate you......" Liu Jun said:
"And then? Can't go to school? Wen Xiaoguo asked:
Liu Jun's expression was a little shaken, but he still hesitated not to reply.
At this time, Liu Jun's father took out his mobile phone, and after swiping on the screen for a long time, he handed the mobile phone to Liu Jun.
After Liu Jun finished reading, he suddenly turned his head to the window, and kept shedding tears, he wanted to hold back his voice, and tried his best to restrain himself, but he still gasped for breath, and his body twitched. Then he turned back to his father and said:
"I read, Dad, I study hard......"
Wen Xiaoguo was curious about what Liu Jun saw, and leaned over to look carefully at the screen in Liu Jun's father's hand, and he saw two lines of words displayed in the text message editing bar:
"Study hard, Dad can kneel down for you......"
Wen Xiaoguo was stunned after reading it, the shock in his heart seemed to have been struck by lightning, and a numb feeling surged from his back to the tips of his hair on the back of his head. He looked carefully at the father in front of him, Wen Xiaoguo was inspired by some kind of spiritual power.
After pacifying Liu Jun that evening, on the way back to school, Chen Wen kept asking Wen Xiaoguo.
"Dick, are you crazy? How could you beat him in front of his father? Aren't you afraid that Liu Jun will turn his face with you, and he will hate you in the future, and he won't even have to be a brother? ”
"If the fourth child wants to be ruthless, it can only mean that he is not promising, and when he really understands it one day, he will not hate me."
"But you're a bit heavy, you must have hurt him."
"Nonsense, my hand still hurts, what do you think? I can't help it, I have to use ruthless methods when it's time to clean up. ”
"Aren't you afraid that he will fight you?"
"Just fight, boss, I just thought that Liu Jun's father was really not easy."
"By the way, tell me quickly, what did Liu Jun's father show him?"
"I don't know. You go and ask Liu Jun. ”
"Didn't you read it? How did you not know? ”
"I don't see it...... However, I just think that it is not easy to be a father. ”
On February 20, 2010, the seventh day of the first lunar month, the old yellow calendar hanging on the wall reads: Yi, sacrifice, prayer; Don't, travel, marry.
As the sun approached dusk, the cold north wind blew through the dead grass of the mountain fields and the snow along the shingles of the courtyard. There was a humming sound from the boiling kettle on the stove in the house, and the ashes were buried with the potatoes that had been roasted and almost ripe, and the thick dust could never contain the burnt smell of the potatoes. The last few meters of sunlight in the afternoon came through the south-facing windows, and on the surface, it was all laid-back and beautiful.
Wen Xiaoguo is holding a copy of "Left Ear" at home, lying on the bed immersed in the story, this book was given to him by Chen Wensai before the winter vacation, Chen Wen has been recommending this book to Wen Xiaoguo, saying how sad and painful the writing is, how twists and turns the plot is. Wen Xiaoguo never wanted to read it, because he felt that what Chen Wen said was a bit exaggerated, and there was only one reason why he praised this book so much, that is, Xiao Pan once said to him: This book is good.
Ah Luo followed Wen Xiaoguo's ass throughout the holiday, except for sleeping and going to the toilet. Wen Xiaoguo never felt annoyed. Just like now, Lao Zhao and his wife are watching TV in the living room, and Ah Luolai is writing homework in his room, chatting with Wen Xiaoguo from time to time. And throughout the holiday, Jiawen Xiaoguo tried to avoid sharing a room with Lao Zhao, the so-called reading, the so-called study, the so-called rest, and the so-called early bedtime are just excuses for avoidance. But fortunately, there is a little follower of Ah Luo, which also allows him to avoid a lot of loneliness in this family.
"Xiaoguo, your phone!" The call of Lao Zhao's lover came from the next room.
Wen Xiaoguo hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and a second before taking the microphone, he was still muttering curiously in his heart:
"Who could call me? The only people who know my home phone number are a few of his roommates at school. Looking for me for a New Year's greeting? It's the seventh day of the first month, and the year is over? ”
"Hello? Who?"
"Guoguo, it's me."
"Liu Jun, hahaha, what's wrong, why did you kid remember to call me?"
"Guoguo, I was in a car accident."
"Big brother, don't tease me! It's a year before the New Year, and that's not how the joke goes! ”
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
"I rub, when is the thing?"
"Just now, I was pulled back from the scene of the car accident to the nearest hospital."
"How's it going, are you alright?"
"I was fine, I was sitting on the left side of the back seat, in the driver's seat. However, the driver died on the spot, and when the ambulance arrived at the scene, the doctor examined it and covered it with a white cloth. ”
"Liu Jun, are you really okay? Has the hospital examined you? ”
"I'm fine, fine. Guoguo ......" Liu Jun said a little choked.
"Eun, here, you say."
"Guoguo, my dad is also in the car......"
"What's wrong? Your dad is in the car too? Is your dad okay? ”
Wen Xiaoguo had a bad premonition and instantly became nervous.
"My dad is fine, he has five broken ribs, but it's not life-threatening."
"That's okay, as long as there is no life and no danger, it's okay, let's raise the bones slowly."
"Guoguo, Guoguo......"
Liu Jun turned from choking to crying silently, but Wen Xiaoguo could also hear Liu Jun's best restraint against this cry at the moment.
"Fourth, what's wrong with you? Cry a fart! Where are you now? ”
"I'm ...... At the entrance of the hospital, the public phone booth, Guoguo, Guoguo......"
"Say, what's wrong? If you tell me something, I, as well as Chen Wen, Ruiwen, and Little Demon, we will help you together. ”
"Guoguo, my dad, I just heard my dad call my name......"
"What?"
"Guoguo...... Guoguo, I heard my dad call my name, I heard my dad speak......"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Jun couldn't restrain his emotions that should be controlled in public, and let out a cry.
"Really? What's going on? Isn't that a happy thing, why are you crying? How did Uncle call your name? ”
Liu Jun kept crying for a long time, and the phone continued, constantly choking and stopping, and then Wen Xiaoguo finally understood.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Liu Jun and his father went to visit relatives, and on the way back, they took a private car, and the driver drank some wine, but they were hit on the road. The driver died on the spot, the entire engine of the front half of the car was knocked out, the steering wheel flew into the ditch on the side of the road, Liu Jun's father sat in the front passenger seat, fortunately the car was thrown out of the car during the rotation, and several ribs were broken, but it was not life-threatening.
At the moment before seeing that the car was about to collide, he subconsciously called out his son's name first in panic.
After chattering for more than 20 minutes, Wen Xiaoguo finally calmed Liu Jun's surging emotions, although the process was very scary, fortunately, the unhappiness of the result was still within the bearable range, and the last sentence before hanging up the phone was Wen Xiaoguo scolded in the microphone:
"Damn, unfortunate luck, you scared me to death!"
