The bad mood was only relieved after getting on the subway.

Yue Changshan lowered his head in the crowd and was silent, under the wrapping of no grades and awards, he was just an ordinary student, and no one would look at him more.

Provincial Three Good Students, Bronze Award of National Mathematics Olympiad, Student Union**......

The honor you have can only please your elders and the teachers of the admissions office.

"Look at that nerd, he only knows how to read......"

"What's the use of studying well, it's not like you're going to work for someone else in the future."

"When a student will ** give you madness, he will point and point all day long, compare and draw, who does he think he is, and put it to direct traffic."

From junior high school to the present, these criticisms from his classmates continue to haunt his ears, but he always believes that his hard work and struggle can change his fate.

Only today, his faith has been shaken somewhat...... The honor brought by hard work sometimes seems so pale and powerless.

Yue Changshan dragged his heavy body home, opened the door and went back to the room, this is already his muscle memory, he will do his homework and study when he goes home, and he can only take a breath when he eats.

"Changshan, didn't you come back early today? Your mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time. The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa said to Yue Changshan a little sternly, he was the owner of a small driving school-Yue Hai.

Yue Changshan saw that his parents were dressed and ready to go out. In his memory, his father rarely spoke harshly to himself, after all, his father was a secondary school graduate, and he worked hard for many years to establish a barely subsistence driving school.

"yes, got it." Yue Changshan hurriedly went back to the bedroom to put down his things and went out after his parents.

Today I was going to my aunt's house for dinner, and Yue Changshan didn't ask the reason, after all, because of the good relationship between the two families, they moved around very often, and my cousin didn't go home all year round, and my aunt treated me as my own son. Sitting in the car, the middle-aged woman's problem with the mother made another mistake, and she chattered about the shortcomings of the parents.

"Changshan, you can see your cousin later, and he will come out of the detention center." The old mother told herself earnestly, but her cousin had not been in the detention center once or twice, and Yue Changshan did not take it to heart.

"Changshan, do you want any study materials? We can buy it when we get back. Yue Hai cared about this, and often bought some information from outside that Yue Changshan couldn't use, but he was still happy to do it.

"If you get a question in the college entrance examination, it's worth it." Yue Hai explained this to his son.

Yue Changshan, who was busy doing the questions, didn't know how many times he said: "It is impossible to test the original questions in the college entrance examination." ”

It's a pity that he still plays the piano to the cow, and the materials at home have to fill Yue Changshan's room.

"No, you don't." Yue Changshan had very few words at home, and it was difficult for him to have more than three conversations with Yue Hai.

Last time, I watched the news launch satellite, and I mentioned that I wanted to see the crater of the moon, but I didn't expect that after a while, my father really moved an astronomical telescope back.

Yue Changshan was still a little moved, but he didn't expect Yue Hai's first sentence to be: "It's good to help you learn." ”

Yue Changshan was immediately disappointed. I'm afraid that I want the moon, as long as I can help my school, Yue Hai will also take it off for me......

The family fell silent again, only Yue Changshan's mother was still reading that the price of cabbage had risen again, and life had become more difficult again, Yue Changshan was annoyed when he heard it, twisted his head to the window, and put on headphones.

The phone plays a song, isolating the troubles of the outside world.

It was the theme song of the hit movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in January this year, and he couldn't bring himself into the movie, so he didn't like the movie, he just liked the song.

"Changshan, are you listening?" Mom saw him put on headphones, she only allowed Yue Changshan to watch the news on weekdays, if she knew that Yue Changshan was listening to the so-called beautiful sound, I don't know how angry she would be.

"Hmm."

Yue Changshan agreed casually and didn't look back.

……

My aunt's house is a family building built decades ago, it is very old, there is not even a property, and the people who live here are old men and women who refuse to move out.

My aunt divorced her uncle when her cousin was a few years old, and later my uncle went to Guangdong to work, and there was no news. My aunt pulled my cousin up alone.

When he was a child, Yue Changshan and his cousin had a good relationship, they played in the mud and climbed trees together, but later moved, the two grew up, and the connection gradually broke off.

Not to mention that his cousin can't go home a few times a year now, Yue Changshan's impression of his cousin is still in junior high school.

This building is very backlit, the corridor is also dark in the daytime, the corridor lights are not called, the corridor is full of garbage, and if you are not careful, you will trip over.

When I arrived at my aunt's house, my enthusiastic aunt had already opened the door and greeted me at the door.

After greeting Yue Hai and his wife, his aunt's fiery eyes turned to Yue Changshan.

"Ouch, me, come in, I'm thin again, I'm tired of studying."

The aunt half-hugged and half-pushed Yue Changshan into the house, and Yue Changshan, who was a little socially afraid, was very shy.

Yue Changshan, who had changed into slippers, was at a loss, Yue Hai and his wife went into the kitchen to help, and they sat on the sofa in a daze.

"Changshan, your cousin is in the room, go in and play with him." Aunt found out about the bored Yue Changshan and hurriedly greeted him.

The aunt is also careful, she knows that her nephew's grades are very good, in the eyes of the older generation, Yue Changshan will definitely have great achievements in the future, and I hope he can help his son.

Yue Changshan nodded reluctantly and knocked on the door of his cousin's room.

"Who?" He couldn't hear his cousin's voice, because the smoke caused by long-term smoking was very hoarse.

"It's me, Yue Changshan. Cousin. Yue Changshan replied honestly.

There was silence inside for a while, and then the door opened, and a pair of strong hands pulled Yue Changshan in.

"Hello cousin." There was a large smell of smoke in the room, and Yue Changshan held back his cough and greeted him like a short and capable young man.

The young man sat on the bed, his already small eyes squinted at the person in front of him, and two fine lights seemed to shoot out of his eyes, wanting to see Yue Changshan through.

"Shanwa?" The young man called out the nickname he gave Yue Changshan when he was a child.

"Hmm."

"You're in your third year of high school." My cousin sat on the bed with a grin, chattering in a homely manner.

Even if he didn't turn on the light, Yue Changshan still caught a glimpse of the tattoo on his cousin's body, the strange pattern twisted in the movement of the muscles, which was quite eerie.

"Hmm." Yue Changshan touched his nose and said again, "Next year's college entrance examination is coming." ”

"It's good, don't you smoke?" The cousin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one himself, smoked it, and handed one to Yue Yunshan.

Yue Yunshan didn't like the smell of smoke a little, because there were smokers in the toilet of the school every class, and he even picked no one's time to go to the toilet.

"No need, thank you, brother." Yue Changshan smiled awkwardly and pushed the cigarette back.

My cousin was sipping and smoking, like an old man who had just finished his work, and his swarthy face was red from the fire, like a piece of red-hot iron.

The two of them were silent for a long time.

According to Yue Changshan's character, even if he sat here for a hundred years, he would not take the initiative to speak, so in the end, his cousin spoke first.

"No one at school bullies you." My cousin was smoking a cigarette, and he looked like an elder.

Yue Changshan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "No, no." ”

Their class is not all good men and women, there are still a lot of small frictions, he doesn't want to destroy his glorious image in front of the teacher, so he endures every conflict and suffers a dark loss.

"If someone bullies you, just call back, understand? can still be bullied in vain. The cousin's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that Yue Changshan was panicking.

"Hmm." Yue Changshan nodded and agreed, when the wind in his ears listened. It's a senior in high school, what if I get a punishment?

The cousin didn't get angry when he looked absent-minded.

"If someone bullies you, report my name."

"Cao Zhengqiu."
