Chapter 590: Investigation (2)
Zhuang Xuexia was not right about people, and she was in a hurry to ask Li Yun about the situation before, but her attitude immediately cooled down at this moment, and she turned her head to find her best friends Xia Menghui and Xiao Ming.
Peers are more sympathetic to complaining about their parents.
Although Zhuang Xuexia is very envious of Xia Menghui and Xiao Ming's reasonable parents, in Xia Menghui and Xiao Ming's opinion, their parents still have a lot of things they are not satisfied with.
The three of them had a group before and talked about Zhuang Xuexia's "prophetic dream". Zhuang Xuexia threw Li Yun's questions to Xiao Ming in the group, and the answers she got were not much different.
Xiao Ming asked rhetorically:
It was Li Yun who felt that the problem was on the cruise ship.
Zhuang Xuexia thought.
Xiao Ming asked again.
Zhuang Xuexia hesitated.
Xia Menghui knew this very well, because she had gossiped with Zhuang Xuexia at that time, and Zhuang Xuexia had nightmares and submitted "strange stories" without hiding it from Xia Menghui, and it could even be said that she reported the progress of things to her every day.
Xiao Ming was noncommittal. He feels that all hot search events and self-media accounts are the means of Internet celebrities.
Xiao Ming emphasized again.
"The first one to have a nightmare was my dad." Zhuang Xuexia had a flash of inspiration in her mind and blurted out. Her voice was a little loud, which immediately attracted Zhuang Baoli, who was watching TV in the living room.
Zhuang Xuexia listened to the footsteps, hurriedly hid her mobile phone, and pretended to do her homework.
The door was opened, and Zhuang Baoli pretended to ask, "Xiaxia, do you want to eat fruit?" ”
Zhuang Xuexia shook her head in annoyance, "Don't!" ”
Zhuang Baoli looked at her and closed the door.
Waiting for the footsteps to leave, Zhuang Xuexia took out her mobile phone and posted the key she had just thought of in the group.
The first person to have a nightmare was Zhuang Baoli, there is no doubt about that.
Xia Menghui replied.
Zhuang Xuexia hesitated,
Zhuang Xuexia thought of her past experience and was filled with righteous indignation.
Thinking about it this way, the matter was completely provoked by Zhuang Baoli, and as a result, she often had nightmares, and now she is still beating upside down, staring at her all day long, thinking that she is looking for trouble!
Xia Menghui lifted the taxi again and added a scared expression. She felt it was key.
Zhuang Xuexia's mood suddenly became complicated.
The horror of that morning and the anger of the moment were intertwined in her heart.
In the living room, Zhuang Baoli was also talking to Luo Lanjun about it.
Zhuang Baoli still didn't think about things in the direction of strange forces. He just recalled the psychological shadow of being afraid of water when he was a child.
Luo Lanjun and Zhuang Baoli have been married for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard him talk about it.
She was surprised, "I can't see it at all." You usually take a bath, touch the water, and encounter a rainy day, and you can't see anything. ”
"I almost forgot about it. Maybe it happened when I was very young. I just remember that I was seriously ill. Zhuang Baoli tried to recall the past.
He himself couldn't tell when it was. The clearest image in his memory is of him lying in bed, staring out the window at the rainstorm for days, and his father forcing him to flush to overcome his fear.
"I haven't had a seizure in so many years. Maybe I went to sea once, and I listened to what ghost stories the little ghost told. Zhuang Baoli complained.
"That Xiaxia ......," Luo Lanjun said.
Zhuang Baoli said angrily: "Isn't it all after knowing that little ghost, her mind is wild? I went in and read it just now, and she didn't even turn a page of her book! Still pretending! Look at her, she always talks about that little ghost. Playing on the phone, I also sent a message to that little ghost. When people went on study tours, she studied for several days, and blamed us for not letting her go. Haven't you ever been to Huihui? ”
Roland was speechless.
On the cruise, Xiao Ming's family mentioned the study tour many times, and warmly invited Zhuang Xuexia to sign up. However, the price of 50,000 yuan is too expensive. Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun both felt that it was not worth it. Zhuang Xuexia is not interested in history at all, and visiting the museum is purely for the sake of sightseeing. With these 50,000 yuan, she can enroll her main classes in one-on-one advanced cram classes. Zhuang Xuexia was a little moved by Xiao Ming's words, but she couldn't convince Zhuang Baoli and his wife.
Xiao Ming went on a research tour and posted a lot of photos in the circle of friends. Zhuang Xuexia watched it every day, chatting with Zhuang Baoli and his wife, and regretted that she did not participate.
Zhuang Baoli said: "I see, I still have to go to cram school. She used to learn how to dance. Now I don't learn to dance anymore, and I said that I want to study hard, but I didn't read the book well. Find her a cram school and go to class on weekends to save her from having to hang around. ”
Luo Lanjun did not object to this, "Xiao Ming also went to a lot of cram schools. She envied others to play. When people make up classes, she doesn't mention it. ”
The two of them spoke without lowering their voices.
Zhuang Xuexia in the bedroom pricked up her ears and heard the conversation between the two clearly.
The content of the conversation was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting Zhuang Xuexia squarely.
"I heard from Huihui's mother that she was in a cram school, and the teacher was very good." Luo Lanjun said again, "The cram school in Xiao Ming Bao is a small class, and it is a teacher from the First Affiliated Middle School......
Zhuang Baoli waved his hand, "Don't let her get involved with that little ghost." Huihui, I can't see it......" he muttered, "She's too good with Huihui." Will we take classes together or play together? In my opinion, I find a tutor for each main course, one-on-one, and come to my home on weekends to teach her. ”
Zhuang Xuexia couldn't sit still.
"That's right......," Luo Lanjun hesitated, "and that's a big expense." ”
"It's better than the way she is." Zhuang Baoli gritted his teeth, "Junior high school is the key. Just a few years. If she delays it, her life will be ruined. ”
Zhuang Xuexia couldn't listen to this kind of talk the most, as if she played with her mobile phone in class, and her life would be ruined. Besides, the cause of everything in this matter is Zhuang Baoli!
Zhuang Xuexia couldn't pretend to study anymore, opened the door, and rushed out.
Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun raised their heads in unison.
Zhuang Xuexia shouted: "I don't want to find a tutor!" ”
The two were stunned.
"Why are you suddenly looking for me a tutor! Didn't I do well in the exam? Isn't the top 10 in the grade enough?! And this time it's obviously because of Dad! It's all on Dad! You still wronged Xiao Ming! Wronged me!! Zhuang Xuexia shouted out in one breath, "It's obvious that Dad, what did you do on the cruise ship, so you had a nightmare!" I'm being burdened by you! It's all your fault! It must have been you who did something sneakily on the boat and offended someone! Guilty of taboo! Have you peeked into someone's room, or have you eavesdropped on someone else's conversation or rummaged through other people's things? That's how you are at home! You must have provoked something unclean on the boat! ”
"Zhuang Xuexia!" Zhuang Baoli called Zhuang Xuexia by name and surname.
Zhuang Xuexia was a little scared, but she still straightened her chest and raised her chin, "It's not my fault anyway!" It's all your fault! I don't want to make up classes! I didn't do anything wrong at all, why should I be punished! It's you who mess with something unclean! That ghost is coming for you! You're all in his car! If it weren't for me, you'd be burned to death! ”
Zhuang Baoli's expression became extremely hideous at this moment.
Zhuang Xuexia subconsciously took a step back.
Luo Lanjun scolded: "Xiaxia! How can you say that about your dad! ”
Zhuang Xuexia glanced at Zhuang Baoli timidly, bit her lip, turned around and ran back to the room, slamming the door shut.
Zhuang Bao's strength was so strong that his chest rose and fell.
This is not the first time Zhuang Xuexia has yelled at him.
Thinking that he was pressed by his father to flush the water, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to resist.
Today's children are kicking their noses and faces, bumping into adults, and they are not afraid at all!
Zhuang Baoli was about to rush to Zhuang Xuexia's room.
Seeing this, Luo Lanjun hurriedly grabbed him.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to educate her today! She's like this now, and she'll be like it in the future! Who am I for? Who is the make-up class for? It's only once that she did well in the exam, and she cocked her tail! She doesn't look at what she did in the previous exams! Did she think she was lucky once and would be lucky for the rest of her life! The high school entrance examination is only once, and if you don't take the test, it will be over! She has such a temper, she can't carry it on her shoulders or hands, if she doesn't get admitted to high school or a better university, what will she do in the future! She went to a technical school, went to learn technology, and went to be a worker, can she afford to suffer! Zhuang Baoli reprimanded loudly, "Which child doesn't make up classes now!" Is she a genius! She-"
Zhuang Xuexia's room erupted in a cry that was enough to tear off the roof. She howled loudly, as if she was competing with Zhuang Baoli to see whose voice was louder.
Luo Lanjun stretched out his hand to cover Zhuang Baoli's mouth, "Okay, okay...... Don't quarrel with her, speak slowly and well. ”
"Well, will she listen?" Zhuang Baoli pulled down Luo Lanjun's hand, still blowing his beard and glaring.
Luo Lanjun patted Zhuang Baoli on the back and said, "You are all angry, don't quarrel yet." I'll go see her first, and I'll talk to her. Don't be angry. ”
Luo Lanjun pressed Zhuang Baoli to sit down on the sofa and hurriedly went to Zhuang Xuexia's bedroom.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Zhuang Xuexia's cry getting louder.
Luo Lanjun entered the house and closed the door with his backhand, but there were still intermittent cries and screams.
Zhuang Baoli was angry when he heard this, supported his knees with his hands, tried to stand up several times, and forcibly suppressed his temper.
Zhuang Xuexia's screams came from inside the house, and she couldn't hear what was said, which made Zhuang Baoli even more impetuous.
He simply grabbed his phone and keys and went out the door.
His action of slamming the door hard was almost the same as Zhuang Xuexia just now. Or should it be said that Zhuang Xuexia's daughter is very similar to him. However, Zhuang Baoli himself does not admit this. He was obedient when he was a child, and he didn't dare to talk to his parents and say a word "no".
Zhuang Baoli has quit smoking since he got married. He is now so upset that he went to the convenience store in front of the community to buy cigarettes and lighters.
He hadn't smoked for so many years, which made his movements rusty.
Looking at the light of the fire and the smoke rising from it, Zhuang Baoli coughed uncomfortably.
He sat down on a bench on the side of the road and smoked one cigarette at a time.
He really didn't understand how his originally well-behaved and sensible daughter changed so much as soon as she entered junior high school.
Is this thing really that good in adolescence?
He didn't do that when he was a kid......
But he'd heard it from his colleagues before......
It was when Zhuang Xuexia was born.
He was very worried about Zhuang Xuexia's baby at that time, and as a novice father, he was also at a loss. His colleague once said that the two years of children are the cutest time, and persuaded him to cherish them; When you are older, you will be naughty when you can walk and run, and you can't take your eyes off for a second; No matter how old it is, it will be more annoying when it comes to studying, and the tutoring homework can be caused by heart disease; It's bigger, and when it comes to puberty, it really doesn't look at its parents, and it only speaks "uh-huh-ahh
He listened to the joy at the time, and he would also have sorrows for the future, but Zhuang Xuexia grew up healthy and healthy, and when she reached the age of "seven or eight years old dogs", she was still innocent and cute, not like someone else's bear child......
Didn't escape the rebellion of adolescence?
Zhuang Baoli took a hard puff of his cigarette.
He unlocked his phone casually, thinking about asking his colleague about the "Education Sutra", but as soon as WeChat opened, he first saw the friend Li Yun who had just been added recently.
That zealous young man......
Zhuang Baoli's hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air.
He invited Li Yun to dinner before, and the young man asked a lot of questions, helping him to clear the key to it and sort out the clues little by little.
He thinks it's on the cruise ship. He was reminded of the shadow of his past childhood, as well as Zhuang Xuexia's rebellion......
"You're messing with something unclean! That ghost is coming for you! You're all in his car! If it weren't for me, you'd be burned to death! ”
Zhuang Xuexia's previous shout suddenly echoed in Zhuang Baoli's ears.
Zhuang Baoli shook his hand, and the soot fell on his leg.
He shivered, jumped up, threw away his cigarette, and dropped his phone.
He slapped his thighs in embarrassment and picked up his phone in a panic.
The phone screen cracked like a spider's web, reflecting Zhuang Baoli's torn face.
Zhuang Baoli looked at his mobile phone, for a long time, stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket, and extinguished the cigarette butt with his foot.
He hurried home.
Luo Lanjun sat in the living room, saw him come back, and just looked at him quietly.
Zhuang Xuexia's room was already quiet.
Zhuang Baoli raised his chin towards the bedroom.
Luo Lanjun said softly: "I'm already asleep." ”
She didn't say anything else.
Zhuang Baoli washed in silence, and when he came out of the bathroom, the lights in the living room had been turned off, and Luo Lanjun was lying in their bedroom.
Zhuang Baoli also got into bed, and after lying down, he exhaled heavily.
"Smoking?" Luo Lanjun asked.
"Hmm."
"That's the way kids are. Adolescence. Luo Lanjun said, and sighed, "My colleague's child was also like this when he was in junior high school. At that time, I saw that she was worried, lost her temper, and menopause was going to be angry early. After that, there is also the high school entrance examination...... When you get to university, you can be liberated. ”
"Hmmm......"
Luo Lanjun persuaded again: "You talk to her softly." I know that she did something wrong, and we should discipline her, but the more you scold her, the more she will do it against you. You have to hit a stick and give a sweet date, right? When she was in kindergarten, we said okay, one with a red face and the other with a white face, but we couldn't do it all the time. ”
Zhuang Baoli did not respond.
"I just promised her. This weekend, we went to the City God Temple here to offer incense. If she feels uneasy, then follow her and bow down. Superstition, isn't that what it is. When I was studying, tarot cards and crystal balls were popular in my class. Stationery stores sell those fake crystals. We have to bow down before the exam. Luo Lanjun seemed to think of interesting memories of the past and laughed.
Zhuang Baoli said sullenly: "Got it." ”
That's what it means to end the conversation.
Luo Lanjun was no longer entangled, and said goodnight directly.
Zhuang Baoli never fell asleep.
When his consciousness became blurred, he felt as if there was a person standing next to the bed.
It's not Luo Lanjun who gets up at night, it's a man......
Jackets, jeans......
He couldn't see the man's face clearly......
The man's body burned, illuminating his face.
It's that man!
The man, with his flames, pounced on him viciously!
Zhuang Baoli sat up suddenly.
Luo Lanjun was woken up by him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Oh...... It's okay......" Zhuang Baoli wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You're having nightmares again?" Luo Lanjun also sat up, "Do you want to go to the hospital and prescribe some sleeping pills?" ”
Zhuang Baoli shook his head.
He sat like this for a while, and then said, "I'll go with you to the temple." ”
Roland Jun was stunned, "Oh, good." ”
Zhuang Baoli lay back, "Sleep." ”
"Hmm. Go to sleep. Don't think about it. ”
"Hmm."
