Chapter 31: Rogue Criminals
If Xiaohua didn't commit a crime and took good care of the family, his father wouldn't be so tired and tired of working overtime. In order to earn medical bills for his mother, his father was mentally exhausted, and as a result, he had a production accident. ”
People talk about it word by word, and the words are full of regret.
Zhu Xiaohua didn't say anything, and what they said about singing hooligan songs was not worth mentioning at all after a few decades.
However, in this day and age, it is really problematic.
He was also reported for this incident, and then went to labor reform.
Zhu Xiaoyan and Zhu Xiaoming listened to these people's words, and their faces were black all the time, they hated others saying that their eldest brother was a hooligan.
As it gets late, the crowd disperses, and the fire in the pot is gradually extinguished.
The three brothers and sisters of Zhu Xiaohua have not recovered from the loss of their parents.
Suddenly there was a singing voice at the entrance of the cemetery:
"I love you so much
You're in love with a silly B
Silly B, he doesn't love you
You're more stupid than stupid B
What the fuck does this mean
I ran to find Wan Xiaoli
Unfortunately, he was knitting a sweater
Said with a smile: Hi, Li B
wo……
wo……
Wan Xiaoli, Wan Xiaoli
You can fucking knit sweaters too
……”
The song was sung by a child, and before the man could finish singing, Zhu Xiaoming suddenly stood up, picked up a stone from the ground, and jumped out.
Not long after, Zhu Xiaohua heard the song just now turn into a cry.
He stood up and saw a little boy about eight or nine years old at the entrance of the cemetery, holding his head with his right hand and crying.
There were several streams of blood running down his forehead.
Zhu Xiaoming stood aside, stared at the little boy with squinted eyes, and said in a heartfelt voice: "Li Zhigang, if you dare to sing, I will fight again next time." ”
Zhu Xiaohua took three steps and made two steps to pull Zhu Xiaoming away from the little boy named Li Zhigang.
Li Zhigang cried and said, "Zhu Xiaoming broke my head with a stone. ”
After saying that, he cried again.
Zhu Xiaohua was angry and funny.
The angry thing is that this Zhu Xiaoming is too ignorant, his parents just died, and now he is beating people with stones.
What's funny is that the song that this little boy Li Zhigang sang is the song "Knitting Sweaters" he wrote.
When he wrote it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But when he sang in public in the song hall, he was reported.
Zhu Xiaoming picked up the stones on the ground again and said reluctantly: "Brother, you don't know, you are in the period of labor reform. Li Zhigang often sang this song loudly in front of our door. And laughed, saying that you were a hooligan and fooling around in the dance hall. ”
Zhu Xiaohua was speechless, people had very few entertainment activities in this era, so ballroom dancing became the most fashionable social activity.
There are many such dance halls in Los Angeles, which are popular among young people.
There are also many people who carry tape recorders and dance this kind of dance in public in the square, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it, just to catch up with the trend.
As a singer, Zhu Xiaohua makes money everywhere, and as long as there is an invitation from the dance hall, he will go. There's really no such thing as fooling around.
However, for a conservative family like Li Zhigang's family, the dance hall really doesn't seem like a good place.
Zhu Xiaohua asked: "Who taught you this song, and who told you that I was a hooligan?" ”
Li Zhigang was about to answer, when suddenly, someone outside the cemetery shouted: "Xiaogang, what's wrong with your head?" ”
The person who spoke was Li Zhigang's mother, a neighbor in the same compound.
Li Zhigang's mother rushed in and screamed: "I'm going to die, who punched such a big hole in my Xiaogang's head." ”
She saw the stone in Zhu Xiaoming's hand and asked, "Did you hit it?" ”
Zhu Xiaoming retorted: "It was he who scolded people first, and I beat him." ”
Li Zhigang covered his head and looked aggrieved: "I didn't scold, I just sang." ”
Zhu Xiaoming said: "You didn't scold today, you scolded before." You call my brother a hooligan. ”
Li Zhigang looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you and Dad said that Zhu Xiaohua was a hooligan, and I heard it." ”
When his mother heard this, her face was full of embarrassment and told him to shut up quickly.
She said: "No matter who of you fights, I will take Xiaogang to the hospital first, and the medical expenses will be counted on your Zhu family." ”
After the woman left with Li Zhigang, Zhu Xiaohua walked over and touched Zhu Xiaoming's head, but did not blame him.
He really has nothing to blame for such a younger brother, who has been maintaining himself from beginning to end.
Zhu Xiaoming raised his head and said, "Brother, Li Zhigang's family asked us to pay for the medical expenses, but what should we do?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Our family is now surrounded by walls, if you really want to pay, let her pick it herself, see what is worth in our family, and just move away." ”
Zhu Xiaoming was reluctant to give him toys and said, "Brother, can't you give her the comic books "Nezha in the Sea" and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" you bought for me last time." I'll go home and hide first. ”
At dusk, Zhu Xiaohua was separated from his younger brother and sister at the intersection.
He only took one day off and had to rush back to the farm in the evening.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Now there are only two of you left in the family, you two must respect and love each other, take care of each other, and don't let outsiders bully you." ”
Zhu Xiaoyan looked depressed: "Brother, if you leave, it is estimated that the debt will come again." ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "If there are bad people who dare to come to the house, you two will call the police and find the police uncle." I'll talk about it when I come out. ”
Zhu Xiaoming was still worried about Li Zhigang's compensation for medical expenses, and asked: "Brother, what if Li Zhigang comes to our house to move things?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Then you cry and shout so that the neighbors around you can hear it." Look at how they bullied your two siblings. Li Zhigang's family is a neighbor after all, and in a compound, they don't dare to go too far. ”
Zhu Xiaohua asked his younger brother and sister to go first, and he stood at the intersection and watched their thin figures disappear in the direction of their home.
He paused for a moment before turning and walking in the opposite direction.
His heart fluctuated, thinking to himself, it turned out that Zhu Xiaohua's family situation was like this.
I had planned to try to go back after I was released from prison.
However, during the day, he personally promised Huang Juan to take care of his younger brother and sister.
That was Huang Juan's deathbed entrustment, and it was also her last words.
What to do?
Stay on?
The two younger brothers and sisters are not yet adults. Thinking of the scene of these two younger brothers and sisters defending themselves in front of others, Zhu Xiaohua's heart warmed.
In the hearts of these two people, no matter what they become, they are still the big brother in their hearts.
I can't leave them behind under any circumstances.
In the evening, Zhu Xiaohua and two guards returned to the farm.
Captain Xiao and several others were taking turns harvesting wheat in the next village and did not return.
Zhu Xiaohua returned to the collective dormitory and lay down, preparing to change to tomorrow's day shift.
Thinking that a creditor would come to the door, Li Zhigang's mother would ask his younger brother and sister to pay for the medical expenses, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.
