The street on the east side of the school is full of miscellaneous restaurants, and most of the stores are closed for students during the afternoon vacation. The cold north wind swept the fallen leaves and swirled in the air, like butterflies flying, showing a little desolation.

Across a wide and empty road, diagonally opposite is a construction site half a year ago, hung with green dust mesh, recently stopped work for some reason, and there is no one nearby.

Yu Wei was blocked into a corner, the shadow of black pressure shrouded him, the suitcase was left on the side of the road, and he only had a schoolbag left on his body.

"Dumb?" Zhao Qi chewed gum, shrugged his cheeks, raised his foot and stepped on the thin boy's shoulder, leaning over him, "Aren't you capable?" They all started with me in the class. ”

Yu Wei lay on the ground and didn't say a word.

The moment he helped Lu Zhu out in the classroom, he knew that he would be retaliated against by Zhao Qi.

The little tricks in the dormitory could no longer satisfy Zhao Qi's bad taste, so he brought someone outside the school to block him.

A severe beating is indispensable, Yu Wei realized this, so he didn't talk nonsense with them, and he could save some energy, and he could get rid of the fight as soon as possible. Zhao Qi obviously came prepared, and he didn't intend to let him go easily. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the group of people in front of him, knowing that it was useless to resist, and there was no other way but to bear it silently.

Since he was a child, this kind of thing has been commonplace for him, and he has survived this experience that is a hundred times more painful. They poured excrement on him, trampled on his fingers, stoned him on the head, and laughed at him begging for mercy......

It's nothing more than some flesh wounds, and you can't die, just take care of it.

The son of a murderer and the son of a wine seller, these two labels are glued to him, and he must not be torn off in his life.

Wan Xinglei sneered, carrying a steel pipe in his hand that he didn't know where to pick up, and knocked it in the palm of his hand: "Brother Zhao, what nonsense to talk to him, I have to teach him a lesson, I don't have a good place to go to the Internet café late." ”

"Don't let him suffer a little, he really thinks he's a character. Phew! What a color. Peng Tao tilted his head and spat out, kicked over, and hit Yu Wei's waist.

Yu Wei wrinkled his eyebrows and snorted, his usual cold expression stained with a hint of pain.

The slightest reaction from him caused several boys to laugh uncontrollably.

Zhao Qi kicked over one by one, mercilessly, and the piercing laughter echoed at the construction site: "I thought I was a dumb person, isn't this quite good at screaming?" Lao Tzu has been seeing you unpleasantly since the beginning of school, pretending to be forced and letting you pretend! Let you pretend! ”

Every word that fell was accompanied by a heavy punch and kick.

A fishy sweet smell of blood overflowed from his mouth, Yu Wei clenched his teeth and no longer made a weak sound.

"This kid still has a little backbone, so he really doesn't say a word." Zhao Qi squatted down, slapped his face twice, and pressed his face in the sand with one hand, "But why can't I get used to this kind of backbone, what do you say?" ”

"It's easy to do, Brother Zhao, give him some color and take a look."

Someone came to the front as he spoke, took a can of spray paint in one hand, shook it a few times, and sprayed it at Yu Wei, not letting go of his body, face, and head.

"Haha, it's really a bit of color."

"But no, Brother Zhao said that he wanted to teach this kid a lesson, so I thought of such a way, genius, right?"

"Go, go, you self-styled genius."

The group laughed and walked away, ignoring the man lying on the ground.

After a long time, Yu Wei got up from the ground, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and his forbearant and gloomy eyes came out of his wet forehead.

As if he didn't smell the pungent smell of paint, he found the suitcase on the side of the road, left the place in a state of embarrassment, and headed for the drugstore.

With a soft sound, the glass door was pushed open, and the cashier who was napping behind the counter was startled, and raised his eyes to look at the person at the door, his eyes glaring like brass bells.

——

When Lu Zhu got home, the first thing he did was to grab Lu Yan's snacks to eat, holding a bag of shrimp crackers in his hand and two oversized cups of jelly in his arms.

Lu Yan squeaked and screamed on the side.

"I thought you would bring me food, but I didn't expect you to snatch snacks from children, are you ashamed?"

Lu Yan couldn't snatch her, so he could only stare dryly.

Lu Zhu stuffed a few shrimp sticks into his mouth, leaned on the back of the chair and said gracefully: "Are you ashamed, are you a child?" ”

"Mom!" If you can't say it, just move the rescuers, which is Lu Yan's usual trick.

Xia Zhu's gentle voice came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sizzle of stir-frying: "Your sister is in high school, studying so hard, and she only comes back once a month, what's wrong with eating something from you?" ”

Lu Zhu shook his calf hanging from the side of the sofa and stuck out his tongue at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was deflated, turned around and watched TV honestly, and muttered: "I knew I picked it up from the trash can......"

"Hahaha, how old are you to still believe this?" Lu Zhu almost choked with laughter.

Xia Zhu fried a plate of dishes and brought it over, put it on the table, glanced at Lu Zhu, wiped his hand on his apron, and said, "Don't eat too many snacks, I won't be able to eat for a while." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhu responded, changed the topic, and said, "What about Dad?" ”

"I'm not coming back this week, and I'm transferred to another shift." Xia Zhu drank saliva, turned around and went into the kitchen to continue his work.

Lu Guoming works as a security guard in the county's Zhongding International Shopping Mall, his salary is not as high as Xia Zhu, and he is better than being close to home, and the two old men have a headache and brain fever, and they can come back to take care of them at any time.

In his early years, Lu Guoming was also a member of Beipiao, and for all considerations, he finally returned to his hometown.

The combined salaries of the husband and wife are no problem to maintain the family's expenses, and with the rented land, they can save tens of thousands of yuan every year. It's just that the children are growing up, especially Lu Zhu, and it takes a lot of money to go to college. Lu Guoming mentioned in front of Xia Zhu more than once that he wanted to go out of the province and work hard for a few more years, Xia Zhu persuaded him not to toss, she is an old employee in the factory, and she is a good friend with the boss, and she will be promoted and raised after the New Year, and it is not difficult for Lu Zhu to study in college.

At the dinner table, Xia Zhu served Lu Zhu a bowl of pork rib soup, and casually asked about Jiang Huaining's situation: "How is your classmate's arm recovering?" ”

She delivered food for a week, but then Sun Jingfang repeatedly shirked it, so she didn't go again.

During this time, there was a big order in the factory, and she was so busy that she forgot to ask for contact information, and the follow-up situation was unknown.

Lu Zhu gnawed on the ribs and said slowly: "His mother accompanied him to the hospital for a recheck, there is no problem, and it is estimated that the plaster will be removed in another week." ”

Xia Zhu seized the opportunity to teach her some sophistication: "When people recover, don't forget to invite others to dinner, for you to suffer such a big crime." ”

Lu Zhu was choked: "Do you want to invite dinner?" ”

"I'll invite you, I'll take some time to ......"

"No, no, no, I please, please."

Lu Zhu hurriedly agreed, lest Xia Zhu would go to her school to invite Jiang Huaining to dinner. The parent's invitation was too formal, and she felt a little embarrassed, so it was better for her to invite Jiang Huaining to dinner.

Xia Zhu finally admonished: "Then don't forget." I'll give you a little more living expenses this month. ”

Lu Zhu assured her that he would never forget.

Xia Zhu smiled with satisfaction, her daughter is good anywhere, but she doesn't care much about things other than studying, so she will tell her over and over again, afraid that she will be perfunctory.

——

After taking a hot shower, Lu Zhu put on the autumn and winter long-sleeved and long-pants pajamas, sat at the desk to sort out the homework to be written, made a schedule, and completed it according to the degree of difficulty.

A pink coil book suddenly fell out of a stack of books, Lu Zhu picked it up, turned the first page, and remembered that this was a half-drawn picture that night.

She is a little talented in painting, and she is not so busy in elementary and junior high school, so she takes it to see calligraphy and painting in her spare time.

In the past, the pictures she drew against the characters in the anime were passed on to other classmates, and everyone said that they were like printed.

Staring at the drawings in the notebook, Lu Zhu's hands itched for a while, pushed the homework aside, picked up a black gel pen in the pencil case, and then drew the part that was not finished.

She was too focused to hear a knock on the door.

"Knock-"

Knocked on the door lightly twice, Xia Zhu didn't hear a response, and pushed the door in directly.

Lu Zhu was startled, subconsciously turned over the book and pressed it under his elbow, his face was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look at Xia Zhu, with obvious nervousness in his eyes.

Xia Zhu was also startled by the sudden action of raising his head, and was stunned at the door, for a long time, came back to his senses, and asked a little funny: "What are you doing, I didn't hear the knock on the door." ”

Lu Zhu's fingers curled up slightly, and he picked at the edge of the notebook: "No, I didn't do anything, I ...... to do my homework."

Xia Zhu didn't study it carefully, and put the things in her hand on her desk: "When I went to the supermarket with your Aunt Liu last week, I bought you a few pairs of sleeve covers, and now little girls are popular to wear this." It's not winter, and the sleeves of thick clothes are not easy to wash, so you put them in your schoolbag and take them to school. ”

Xia Zhu bought her short and exquisite styles, some decorated with broken flowers, some with a circle of fungus lace, and some sewn with a layer of transparent lace.

Lu Zhu liked it very much, and rubbed it repeatedly in his hand: "Thank you, Mom." ”

In the winter, everyone put their own clothes on the school uniforms, and many girls in the class used sleeves. The long style to the elbow is no longer fashionable, and this short style has become a favorite of girls. Not only is it used to protect the cuffs of clothes from getting dirty, but it is also a beautiful decoration.

"Next time you come back for December, don't forget to bring some thick clothes. Down jackets are definitely to be brought, this winter is particularly cold. Xia Zhu didn't worry about her sloppy nature, "Call me when you pack your suitcase, and I'll help you clean up." ”

Lu Zhu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and responded with "I know", "I'm not a child", "I will take care of myself", Xia Zhu was helpless when he heard it.

"You rest early, don't stay up late."

Dropping a sentence, Xia Zhu closed the door for her.

Lu Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief, was quiet for a while, pulled out the coil pressed under his elbow, and turned it over to the front. The figures in the painting are no longer vague outlines, but have clearer facial features.

Thick eyebrows, double eyelids, a pair of large and clear eyes underneath, the corners of the mouth are lightly pursed, with a slightly raised arc, like tilting his head and smiling at her when he finishes speaking.

The person in the painting seemed to be staring at himself, Lu Zhu's eyes closed, closed the notebook and stuffed it into the drawer.

patted his forehead, Lu Zhu secretly scolded himself for being sick, and he was not lightly ill.
