Walking out of the prison gate and walking on the street in the 80s, he was in a trance for a moment, as if he was in a TV series he had watched before.

Dusty pavement, wooden telephone poles, young men and women in plastic sandals, people riding permanent bicycles all over the street.

A man in a military uniform and carrying an army-green canvas satchel hurried past him and hurried to the state-run hotel in the city to stay overnight.

At this time, a letter of introduction is required for accommodation, and this person is obviously a temporary accommodation, and there is no letter of introduction. As soon as he entered the state-run hostel, he was quickly kicked out.

At the intersection of the streets and alleys ahead, an old man in a white sweatshirt pedaled a tricycle and walked slowly.

On the tricycle is a white foam box, on which is a cardboard board, on which are written a few crooked words: five cents for a popsicle, a dime for ice cream.

A few children in short sleeves rushed out of the alley, stopped in front of the car, and shoved the steel hammers in their hands into the old man's hands.

Then he stood obediently next to the car, his eyes on the foam box.

The old man took the five-cent hammer, uncovered the foam board, took out the steaming popsicles, and handed them one to each of the children.

The children tore off the wrappers of the popsicles and shook on the white popsicles. Laughing and laughing, he ran into the alley like a gust of wind.

Zhu Xiaohua strode towards the family compound of the tractor factory.

With his memory, he quickly found his home and saw the familiar little red building.

As I walked upstairs, I heard a noise coming from the house.

"Beat people, Li Zhigang's family bullied our two children who have no father and no mother!"

Zhu Xiaoming's shouts came from the front.

Neighbors looked around.

Someone saw Zhu Xiaohua and greeted him, "Xiaohua is out." ”

He spoke very enthusiastically, but his expression was afraid, for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhu Xiaohua nodded politely, didn't talk too much, and pushed straight open the door.

In the room, Li Zhigang's mother stood in the center of the living room, holding her son in one hand and a plastic bag containing medicine in the other.

His son, the little boy whose head was broken by Zhu Xiaoming in the cemetery, had a thick white gauze wrapped around his head and an aggrieved expression.

His younger brother, Zhu Xiaoming, was lying on the ground, crying and shouting: "Zhang Guifang is beating, Zhang Guifang is bullying children." ”

Zhu Xiaohua pulled Li Zhigang's mother away and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Guifang originally came to compensate the two brothers and sisters for medical expenses, but as soon as he entered Zhu's house, Zhu Xiaoming suddenly fell to the ground and screamed loudly. From beginning to end, she didn't say anything, she didn't do anything.

Zhu Xiaohua continued to ask: "You are an adult, bullying my eight-year-old brother. ”

Zhang Guifang said humbly: "He fell to the ground by himself, don't rely on me." ”

Nearby neighbors also stood outside the door to watch. Everyone discussed: "Why is Zhang Guifang like this, these children just died of their parents, and she came to beat these two children." ”

Zhang Guifang turned around and wanted to withdraw, but was blocked by Zhu Xiaohua at the door.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "I haven't said it clearly, why do I want to leave." Came to the door and beat my brother and sister while I wasn't there, didn't you? ”

Zhang Guifang wanted to cry without tears, she originally came to the family to compensate for the medical expenses, but now she was falsely accused by the other party.

She laughed angrily and said, "Yes, I'll beat them, whatever." Your brother broke Xiao Gang's head with a stone, shouldn't he be beaten? Not only were they beaten, but they also had to pay us for our medical expenses. ”

Zhu Xiaoming cried even louder when he heard Zhang Guifang say this.

"Zhang Guifang just kicked me, Zhang Guifang beat me to death."

He cried and rolled on the ground: "Oops, my stomach hurts, my head hurts too." I'm going to die, I'm going to be beaten to death by Zhang Guifang......"

When the neighbors saw Zhu Xiaoming lying on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, they couldn't help but blame Zhang Guifang: "What's the matter, can't you say it well, you have to beat someone." ”

"That's right, you're an adult, how heavy your hands are, the child's body is weak, and he can withstand a few beatings from you."

Zhang Guifang was at a loss, she glared at Zhu Xiaoming on the ground angrily and said, "Don't lie, where did I touch you?" ”

Zhu Xiaoming did not give up, and continued to shout loudly: "Zhang Guifang killed me, Zhang Guifang killed me." ”

Zhu Xiaohua didn't know if Zhu Xiaoming was really hurting or pretending to be in pain, but seeing him shouting so fiercely, he couldn't help but feel sad, and naturally favored him in his heart.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "He's an eight-year-old kid, can lie? I think you're the one who lied. If my brother has three long and two short in the future, I will not be finished with your Zhang family! ”

The neighbors at the door also accused Zhang Guifang: "That's right, children who are so old will lie, and it's you, the adult, who lie." ”

"This Gui Fang is too tasteless, do it with a child."

Someone else persuaded her: "Zhang Guifang, you better leave quickly." This Zhu Xiaohua has just come out of it, so it's not easy to mess with. ”

Zhang Guifang's son, Li Zhigang, shouted for his mother and said: "As soon as we entered the door, Zhu Xiaoming lay down on the ground and shouted for help. Obviously, he lied to us. ”

At the table in the living room, Zhu Xiaoyan blushed and stood silent.

Zhang Guifang saw that everyone was accusing her, and Zhu Xiaohua was also angry, wanting to avenge his younger brother.

She had no choice but to walk out while talking: "Forget it, I don't want Xiaogang's medical expenses." When I met your Zhu family, I thought I was unlucky. ”

She pulled up Li Zhigang, who was covered in gauze, and quickly squeezed through the crowd and disappeared at the staircase.

"Fortunately, we rushed over, otherwise this Zhang Guifang didn't know what to bully these two brothers and sisters."

"This Gui Fang is too unusual."

Neighbors are still accusing Zhang Guifang.

Zhu Xiaohua went over to help Zhu Xiaoming up, sat down on the stool, and asked, "Where did she beat you?" ”

Zhu Xiaoming blinked Zhu Xiaohua and said in a low voice, "Brother, the method you taught really works." When I saw her push the door in, I just lay down on the ground, but I didn't expect it to scare her away. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, this younger brother of mine is too naughty, he beat other people's sons, and now he is slandering people's mothers.

It's a ghost.

However, seeing that Zhu Xiaoming was fine, he was relieved.

Zhu Xiaohua asked: "No one has come to the door to ask for debts in the past two days, right?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan said: "Uncle Huang Ren came, and he said that he would come back when you were released from prison." ”

"This scumbag still dares to come?" Zhu Xiaohua clenched his fists fiercely, "This kind of relative who has fallen into the well, don't do it!" ”

Zhu Xiaohua thought that the family owes Huang Ren fourteen yuan, and I will find a way to pay him back as soon as possible.

After the neighbors dispersed, Zhu Xiaohua closed the door and asked Zhu Xiaoming to stand up. Asked with concern, "Have you two eaten?" ”

The two shook their heads.

Zhu Xiaoyan replied: "The pot is boiling, and I am serving rice." ”
