Chapter 42: An Unforgettable Boy
in a nursing home. Junjun's grandfather is happy.
The grandson came back from abroad and brought a bunch of gifts to the old couple and the old people in the nursing home. And everybody praised them for their blessings. The old man doesn't have to mention how long his face is.
The nursing home's caregivers are busy packing up for the elderly. My grandson is back, of course he has to go home.
Junjun's grandmother looked at her grandson who came to pick her up with a confused expression.
She took the gift Junjun brought to her, looked at it like a baby, and then hid it in her small backpack. He lovingly said to the young man in front of him, "Oh, thank you!" Lad. This is my Junjun's favorite food. ”
Then he touched that one again and said, "Well, that one is also Junjun's favorite." ”
"This is for me, young man! I want to leave it to my grandchildren. ”
Junjun nodded vigorously: "Grandma, then you see who I am."
"Oh, who are you?".
"Grandma, I'm Junjun, I'm back from France." The old man looked at him and smiled, shaking his head.
Junjun's grandparents are in their 80s this year, and the two old men are Han Xue's only daughter, and since the daughter is gone, the grandson is the treasure in their hands.
Junjun's grandfather is also an old comrade on the public security front, and he is a criminal investigation trace inspection expert with unique skills.
When he was a child, Junjun liked to watch his grandfather demonstrate to him the ability to dictate and depict criminals. The edification of art began with his grandfather teaching him to draw.
Junjun's grandmother is a simple housewife. After her daughter left, she was greatly stimulated, and later Junjun went to another place for the school entrance examination, and her grandmother, who had no children by her side, suddenly couldn't accept it and had a stroke.
After Han Xue left that year, Junjun, who had no relatives and no support, was taken back to Shanghai by his grandparents. Junjun, who has no father and mother, has since formed a new home with these two old men.
When Junjun grew up, he originally wanted to be admitted to a local college to take care of his grandparents. But my grandfather said that men should be ambitious. If you want to study, go to the best school.
After graduating, Junjun joined the French company where he is now employed, and often runs at home and abroad. His grandparents are old, and his grandmother even has signs of Alzheimer's, so he is even more relieved.
His grandparents are gone, his parents are gone, and his grandparents are his last support.
But grandparents don't think so, boys need to be ambitious, and they have always encouraged Junjun to boldly pursue his dreams. They don't want to be an obstacle to their child's growth because of themselves. Just like when they let go of Han Xue to Yunnan.
In order not to worry about the children, my grandfather ran a number of nursing homes by himself, chose a beautiful mountain and water show, the service was not bad, sold his house, and lived in a nursing home with his wife.
Junjun couldn't resist the insistent Daddy and Grandma, so he could only give in. But without his grandparents, there would be no warmth in his home, so he would bring them home every weekend.
When Junjun came back from France, the first thing he did was to pick up the old man. The old people in the nursing home envy them for having a good grandson who is caring and filial.
Carrying simple luggage, the three of them walked out of the gate of the nursing home.
Junjun's old classmate Rabbit was waiting at the door in Junjun's Land Rover, watching the old people come out and hurriedly jump out of the car to help.
"Oh, rabbit! I'm sorry for you to pick us up again! Grandpa greeted him familiarly, and at the same time helped his wife to get into the car tremblingly.
The rabbit's name is Jiang Ziheng, and he is Junjun's classmate after transferring to Shanghai.
Junjun came to Shanghai from Yunnan that year, and Junjun, who had just lost his mother, had not yet come out of the shadow of his soul, leaving a familiar place and changing to a new environment and new classmates. For a while he was depressed.
He didn't like to communicate with his classmates and sat in the classroom all day. I don't have the energy to do anything. He had a sketchbook that he didn't let anyone see, and he always silently drew his mother's appearance on it, or the lost silver gradient.
His results plummeted. In addition, the level of education in Shanghai is much higher than that of the original region. He couldn't keep up with school. He was even more self-defeating. Always last in the grade.
Rabbit was the first friend he made at school, as his family lived upstairs from his grandfather. They often go to and from school together. Bunny is a well-known trickster at school. The results are not good, but the mind is flexible. So they became a pair of difficult brothers.
Junjun's tablemate is a girl, and she is the president of their class. His name is Dong Xinyuan. The teacher sent her to help Meng Junjun.
It's a bit awkward to read Meng Junjun's name in Shanghainese, and my grandmother once complained. Han Xue gave her son a name. "Hard tendons, hard tendons, bite and bite." I almost helped him change it. But Junjun doesn't do it. It was when he was young, and he had always believed in it
The agreement he had with his mother, he was afraid that if he changed his name, his mother would not be able to find him when he came back.
Grades are poor, and his personality doesn't seem to be very good, and Junjun doesn't have a good time in Shanghai school. His classmates always gave him nicknames, either they looked down on him or joined forces to bully him. Every time, it was the rabbit and the new yuan who helped him save the scene.
They went from elementary school to middle school together, and they were always in the same class, and they were always stumbling together. However, what really changed Junjun's fate was an incident when he graduated from junior high school.
It was a summer vacation before the high school entrance examination, and in order to cheer up the students, the school arranged a military training for living outside.
On the last day of that military training, there was an event in which the third grade of junior high school climbed over the graduation wall.
Six fence walls lined up on the training ground. Six classes start at the same time.
This so-called graduation wall is actually a vertical slab composed of wooden planks and steel ladders. It's a bit like rock climbing, but there is no foothold on the whole wall, and the climber needs to climb to the top and climb over the fence. Whichever class climbs over that wall the fastest is considered the winner. It means overcoming the difficulties of graduation.
When the command gun was fired, the whole class rushed to the graduation wall, and they scrambled to climb up, and they quickly climbed over it, and then they used their hands to pick up the students who came up behind them.
Junjun was afraid of heights and didn't fit in very well, and when he saw his classmates all climb up, he was left alone in camouflage uniform and hesitated below.
The classmates above were in a hurry and shouted to him, Junjun, come on, come up. He looked back at the instructor and wanted to quit.
He wanted to withdraw from the competition, but the instructor of the unit did not let him go, and he had no intention of letting him go.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer students in other classes, the rabbit who was the first to reach the top was in a hurry, and he shouted at Junjun below.
"Junjun, don't be afraid. If you don't take the first step, you'll never get up. Give me your hand, I'll pull you! ”
The railing is so high, where can he pull it, but if Junjun doesn't come up, the class will lose.
The rabbit was in a hurry and yelled at the classmates around him, "You all fucking hold me, I'll go down and get him."
The boys on the top of the ladder all rushed over, they pulled the rabbit's trouser belt and put him down, and the rabbit stretched out his hands to Junjun, who was still hesitating below, while shouting: Junjun, hold me!
Junjun began to try to climb up, struggling to reach the rabbit's hand, but it was too difficult.
Time began to count down, almost half of the students who pulled the rabbit leaned out of the railing, using the strength of the whole body to feed, the rabbit was pulled by the classmates from the waistband of the trousers, to the thigh, and finally dragged into the calf step by step, the rabbit shouted desperately, Junjun give me his hand.
Watching the rabbit being dragged upside down from the top by his classmates, stretching out his hand that would never leave him, Junjun was suddenly touched, and he began to climb up hard, he blushed and tried hard to reach the rabbit's hand, but it was just a little bit.
Finally, I finally took the rabbit's hand. But the strength of the rabbit alone is not enough to pull him up, the male classmates on top of the top blushed, hard to pull the rabbit up, and now add the weight of a Junjun, seeing that if the rabbit falls, the consequences are unimaginable, this scene is anxious for the female classmates next to him.
Xinyuan beckoned to the female classmates, everyone come and help, put me down. So the girls also started the dangerous game.
Seeing that Xinyuan, a girl, was also put down by her classmates to pick her up, Junjun's psychology was greatly stimulated, and he suddenly burst out.
He rubbed it up with all his might, and his other hand finally reached Xinyuan's hand, this railing, he didn't climb up, he was almost dragged up by the whole class.
Their class is not the first, it is the last, but all the classes, all the classmates and teachers, eyes are on them. When Junjun was finally pulled up by his classmates, the whole school applauded. Junjun burst into tears.
After the baptism of this activity, Junjun was reborn like a different person, he walked out of the darkness in his heart, became sunny and cheerful, he began to make friends, his learning began to grow by leaps and bounds, and he began to be full of enthusiasm for everything.
In the year he graduated from the college entrance examination, he had excellent grades and received an invitation from the Department of Biology of Fudan University in Shanghai, but he did not choose. Instead, he chose to take the path of fine art.
The reason is that he has always wanted to draw a work for his mother. There is also a desire to emulate my grandfather and be a person with unique skills.
