Fang just passed by Tang Muzhi's son, that is, Zhang Chulan's father Zhang Yude, although this person has not seen him, but if he wants to contact Zhang Chulan for a while, it will be no surprise that they will meet again, and it will not be good to arouse his vigilance.

Now Zhang Yude probably didn't know about his father's death, Tang Muzhi changed his clothes, walked around and walked to the second small gate of Heban Mountain, he saw Zhang Yude standing outside the school gate, so he stared at him and watched him take a little boy's hand in a group of children and walk towards the east street.

That kid is naturally Zhang Chulan, it seems that because he has just transferred to another school, he has not yet worn a school uniform, and he looks a little conspicuous among a group of well-behaved primary school students, and he himself seems to be a little tired of this unusual situation, grabbed by his father, and left while talking softly.

They didn't shy away from some topics, only to see Zhang Chulan looking up at his father's worried expression, and asked a little timidly: "Dad, hasn't grandpa come back yet?" ”

"W-no!" Zhang Yude kept frowning, let out a breath from his nose, and said a little sullenly, it sounded like he was not in a good mood.

Without waiting for Zhang Chulan to speak, Zhang Yude clenched his hand and said suddenly: "Chu Lan, I have to go out tonight, you stay at home alone, don't go to bed late tomorrow morning, remember to go to school." ”

"Dad, Dad, is something wrong with Grandpa? He didn't tell you before he left this time? Zhang Chulan's eyes widened and she asked anxiously.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Yude scolded his son, and soon his tone softened again, he pursed his lips and said slowly: "This is our adult business, don't worry about it, study hard, um...... I'll leave you some money, and when you're done, you can go to the school and give the money to you Teacher Bi to buy school uniforms, you know? ”

"Huh? So don't we have to move for two years? Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up.

"Mmmm......" Zhang Yude's tone was a little perfunctory, and he hurriedly pulled Zhang Chulan back to the village.

From primary school to the place where Zhang Chulan and their grandchildren lived, there were five miles of road, and it took more than two hours to walk, the environment of their family was not very good, and the house was also rented, but in the countryside, the relationship between neighbors was very harmonious. Zhang Yude changed his previous cloudy face, smiled and greeted the croppers on the road, and Zhang Chulan also called people.

"Brother Zhang, you picked up Chu Lan again today?"

"Yes, yes, did his grandfather go back to his hometown, Xiao Li, and still have trouble with his daughter-in-law?"

"Mother-in-law, there are too many things, there is no way."

"Chu Lan is back-Xiao Zhang, I forgot about it two days ago, and now that it's the end of the month, you should give me the rent money tomorrow."

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll bring you the rental money at night, and I'll go cook for the doll first."

That night, Tang Muzhi watched Zhang Yude leave the village, his body was extremely fast, and he was a master. He had never heard of such a number one person as him in the rivers and lakes before, and it seemed that their family had done a good job of hiding over the years.

Tang Muzhi came directly to the vicinity of the second elementary school of Heban Mountain the next day, the cool breeze of autumn was blowing, in this peaceful and quiet town, the students walked in the direction of the school in pairs, Tang Muzhi stared at the crowd for a long time, seeing that the school gate was about to close, and there was no Zhang Chulan's figure, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and heard some discordant voices in the distance coming into his ears.

"Huh...... Okay, with so much money on you, didn't you come to school in the ditch? Where did the money come from? ”

Zhang Chulan's voice was a little stiff and said: "Brother Liu, that's the money I used to buy school uniforms, my father gave it to me, if I go back at night and he sees me not wearing a school uniform, he will tell my homeroom teacher." ”

"What's wrong with the head teacher, you just said that you are the second class, right, who is the head teacher?"

"Bi Fu."

"Oh...... Was she teaching the graduating class when we dropped out, she was still with a big belly at that time, what are you afraid of, female teacher? Hehe, you go back and tell your son that the money is lost, do you hear? ”

A thin boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with his two younger brothers, blocked Zhang Chulan at the corner of the street, and the young man at the head counted the fifty or sixty yuan he had just taken from Zhang Chulan's bag, and then put it in his pocket.

"Zhang Chulan, what are you doing with your fists?"

"Look at him like this......"

"What, you're not convinced?"

The gangster led by the three stepped forward and stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Chulan's face, "Explain to you Lao Tzu, if you say it is redundant, remember, I will see you and beat you once in the future!" ”

Zhang Chulan's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Liu, I will leave in the past two days to make school uniforms, and if you take the money, I won't wear a school uniform for a semester." ”

"Oh...... What's the matter with me? Brother Liu said, picked up a cigarette and lit it, then walked to Zhang Chulan's side and hugged him, and said with a smile: "I remember, the fat man's school uniform is fine, let him look for it at home when it's over, you come here and wait after school in the afternoon, if there is one, I will call him to give it to you." ”

The fat man in his mouth was one of his attendants, and he stood up and smiled: "Brother Liu, can he wear my school uniform so thin that he looks like a monkey?" And it's all paintings, and there are holes in cigarette butts. ”

"He wears it, and you don't wear it." Brother Liu said angrily, and then said to Zhang Chulan with a smile: "That's it, you will be beaten by your old son at most, and the old clothes you wear in school." ”

Forget it, that's fine...... Zhang Chulan sighed helplessly in her heart, and let go of her clenched fist.

Brother Liu continued: "By the way, Zhang Chulan, when you finish school, call a classmate to come over with you, see which one in your class is rich, or you don't like it, you coax him over, we will beat him, in the future, you will be the boss of your class, do you hear?" ”

Zhang Chulan's face became more and more difficult to look at when he heard this, he smiled reluctantly, turned sideways and tried to remove Brother Liu's arm hanging on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, forget it, you also know that I just came, and I didn't see anyone who was unpleasant." ”

Brother Liu's right hand hanging on Zhang Chulan's body suddenly tightened, and he leaned hard towards Zhang Chulan, using his own weight to put pressure on him.

"Hmph-" Brother Liu exhaled two white smoke from his nostrils and sprayed on Zhang Chulan's face, and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "I still advise you to think about it, we stayed up all night and blocked people here early in the morning, and we were all very sleepy." ”

Zhang Chulan's eyes were uncomfortably smoked, and he watched the faces of the three gangsters sink little by little, and his heart beat even more violently.
