The Nicks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 26 The Greenhouse (II)
The strong son came down and went around, but he didn't find anyone. But it didn't bother him, and a phone call passed. His level has gone up, and he is basically no longer involved in some small fights in the school, but he is well-connected and knows that Lanshu Middle School is Lyman's territory, so he called Lyman directly.
Lyman is a little ruffian in this area, and he has accepted a group of high school students as his younger brothers, and he is swaggering around the neighborhood in front of him, and his main business is some black Internet cafes that can't be on the table, canteens and billiard courts, and occasionally he also matches some rich bigwigs, introduces some student girls and the like to earn some intermediary fees. It can be regarded as a type of person who is more prosperous.
At this point in time, Lyman was shaking his head in a nearby bar, and there was a deafening background music on the other end of the phone, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey, hey, is there something wrong with Brother Qiang looking for me so late?" ..... Wait, it's noisy here. About three minutes later, a voice came from the other end of the phone again, "What is Brother Qiang looking for me?" If you say something, if you can help, you will definitely be arranged. ”
Qiangzi said: "I want to ask you about someone, do you know Tong Yao from the sixth department of Lanshu Middle School and high school?" "He had stolen the transcript information in the police station from his head, so he had a clear idea of what he was looking for. To be the horse boy next to the boss, you have to think about everything ahead, no, as soon as Kinney showed a trace of interest, he figured out the other party's bottom carefully.
There are more than 1,000 students in the entire Lanshu, how can Lyman know all of them, and he knows some little sisters who are not indiscreet and Ma Zai who don't learn to mix with the underworld, but the number of roads on the road can't be said like this, and if you don't know it, you will be stunned. Lyman pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "Know, know, I'm familiar, what's wrong brother?" I have some ideas, do you want my brother to help arrange it? ”
Qiangzi nodded, "I have a buddy who has taken a fancy to him and wants to get to know each other." Naturally, he couldn't tell his boss clearly, and lied that a buddy he knew entrusted him with something.
"Okay, Brother Qiang, give me a day or two to make sure it's properly arranged." The other end of the conversation swears.
Naturally, Hadron would not pin his hopes entirely on a ruffian, it was best to get it done, it was nothing more than spending a little more money, and if he couldn't do it, he had other methods, so he made another call to his colleagues in the bureau.
........
Tong Yao sent Lin Wanqing home and went back, jumping home alone. At this moment, Lin Wanqing stood alone under the dim street lamp, looking at the delicate figure walking farther and farther, the expression on her face was complicated and difficult to understand, it was difficult to tell what kind of emotions she was in her heart at this moment, ashamed, hesitant, afraid, not to mention that outsiders had a jealousy in her heart for the first time.
Lin Wanqing's home is located in an old neighborhood, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons, sewage flows, and the streets are plastered with all kinds of erotic cards and posters with big scratching heads. It's only a few streets from the city center, but there seems to be an invisible boundary, where civilization and darkness are clearly distinguished. On one side is the neon-lit night market carnival, and on the other side is the silent ancient street that disappears into darkness.
The walls of the old-fashioned tube building are covered with vines, large swaths of the walls are peeling off, revealing a touch of gray bricks, the old steps are missing openings, and the cement is so peeling that it creaks when stepped on.
Lin Wanqing's family lived on the second floor, and almost just stepped into the staircase, when she heard someone scolding and scolding, all kinds of ugly words filled it, and the eight women of the upper floor were standing at the entrance of her building and looking down, pointing and pointing, and scolding uncleanly. Underneath her fingertips was a stooping old woman, carrying a snakeskin sack with a faint foul smell. The sack contained cardboard, plastic bottles, and other scrap items that the old lady had just picked up from the trash can outside that could be sold for money.
"You dead old woman, how many times have I told you, don't stuff the garbage picked up outside into the house, look at this good corridor is full of stinky smell, like a pigsty, you yourself are a pig, it's okay, others don't live it." The eight women have cold eyebrows, a strong figure, wearing a leopard print shawl at night, the eye shadow is pitch black, and the newly tattooed eyebrows are like two slender black insects lying on the triangular eyes, which is not a good kind at first glance.
Lin Wanqing lowered her head and walked two steps quickly, helping her grandmother drag the heavy sack into the house, and at the same time hurriedly turned around and bowed and apologized, saying that she would clean it up later, and would not cause trouble to the neighbors or something.
Seeing the little girl lower her posture, the eighth woman became even more energetic, saying that you are a girl who is not sensible, she looks good, why is her brain so axial, she looks poor and sour at home, she reads a fart book, just like your little sisters, go to bed, one on both legs, and your grandmother can also live in peace with your blessing, why bother making everyone bad as now. After saying that, he seemed to be amused by himself, and laughed out loud with malice.
Lin Wanqing didn't bother to pay attention to her, opened the door and helped her grandmother put the waste in the corner. The whole room was cramped to death, less than 30 square meters, most of which was occupied by all kinds of sorted and bundled waste newspapers, corrugated paper and plastic bottles, only a table, a small kitchen and a bedroom.
The bedroom is Lin Wanqing's, although it is only a little more than five square meters, but it is very warmly furnished, and my grandmother sleeps in the aisle of the living room outside, and there is no bed, and a bed of futon mats is spread on the floor.
The room was too small, full of clutter, and there was hardly any place to stay. Lin Wanqing moved around the various grocery rooms with ease, and walked to the kitchen to start washing vegetables and washing rice for cooking. She has been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child, her mother died early, and when she was six years old, she became seriously ill and left, which could have been optimistic, but her father removed all the family's savings and gave her mother no cent, and in the end she could only watch her mother breathe in the hospital bed. In order to treat her daughter, her grandmother sold everything she could sell at home, but she was old and mediocre, and the only life-saving money left was deceived by a charlatan in the name of helping to arrange experts. After her mother left, her father completely lost her news, and her grandparents didn't recognize her as a granddaughter, and she looked like she didn't get along with each other. Later, I heard from the neighbors that my father had rebuilt a family outside and gave birth to a son, and the family was happy.
Every time she thinks of this, Lin Wanqing feels painful, it turns out that she also has a warm family, a big house of 100 square meters, a small room decorated with a lot of plush dolls, a mother who loves her, and a father who supports everything in the family, but now there is nothing.
Walking under countless malicious eyes every day, the only sustenance is to be able to be admitted to a good university and completely get rid of the status quo.
But the third year of high school is very complicated, she can't afford to buy textbooks, can't afford to go to cram school, and a lot of knowledge classes are only lightly brushed aside, even if she works hard enough, even if she is smart enough, so what, can she really fill the bottomless gap between classes? Is it really possible to cross the unfair equalization of educational resources?
Lin Wanqing didn't know, and she didn't want to know, she was like a horned cow trapped by a pack of lions, she could only do the last dying struggle, either reduced to the lion's lunch, or she would fight her own way among the thorns, even if she would do whatever it takes, she would go ashore.
Jingle bell, a screeching phone ringing from the living room.
The family can't afford to use a mobile phone, if it weren't for a way to connect to the outside world, in fact, they don't even want to install a phone, ten horses a month, for a family like theirs, it is an indescribable burden.
Grandma was sitting on a small pony, wearing reading glasses, assembling small products one by one to subsidize the family. Hearing the bell, she struggled to stand up, and Lin Wanqing, who came out of the kitchen, waved her hand and motioned for herself to pick it up.
"Hey, hello, what's the matter?"
"Is it Ms. Huang Xiuli's house? On my side, I am from the Social Material Security Bureau. "Huang Xiuli is my grandmother's name.
"Yes, yes, what's the matter?" Lin Wanqing became vigilant, and there was a bad premonition spreading in her heart, as a low-income household, the family could receive a subsidy of 500 horselang from the Security Bureau every month, although it was not much, but it was enough to support the family.
"Some of the places you submitted before did not meet the standard, and in March this year, the country replaced the new low-income household security management measures, if the information you submit now obviously does not meet the standard of low-income households, either you provide new supporting materials and information that meets the requirements within the last seven working days, or, next month, start to stop your subsidy and allowance."
Lin Wanqing chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly said, "I didn't have it all right before, why can't I get through it now?" ”
"Madam, please calm down, we are also doing things according to the rules, you had better communicate with your regional sub-district office and complete the materials as soon as possible, that's all, I wish you a happy life, goodbye." With a snap, the opposite side hung up.
Lin Wanqing and her grandmother looked at each other, speechless, and couldn't figure out the situation at all.
The next morning, Lin Wanqing took a half-day leave to go to the street office, and the person in charge of the poverty alleviation office was an elderly and enthusiastic aunt, she told her own information and the problems she encountered, and the aunt frowned and said that the situation of your family, no matter how the policy is changed, it will not affect it, and then sorted out her information inside and out and said that there is no problem, I am afraid that the personnel of the Security Bureau will make it difficult, and I wrote a letter of proof for her to bring.
Lin Wanqing rushed to the city security bureau non-stop, no matter how hard she explained, and took out the letter from the street office, but the other party was not the same thing, and she said that there was a problem with her information, and the other party didn't know what was wrong with you, it was just an ambiguous thing to say.
After all, Lin Wanqing was only a high school student, lacking the means to deal with social relations, so she had no choice but to return to the street office, this time the director of the street office chewed the taste, she carefully pulled her aside, and asked her if she had provoked any enemies that should not be provoked recently.
Lin Wanqing thought of Wu Manyun for the first time.
.........
On the aisle of the third-grade teaching building of Lanshu Middle School.
A row of students with schoolbags on their shoulders were standing at the penalty station, and Tong Yao was also among them.
These are the waves of people who caused trouble yesterday, and the school severely criticized them, and this morning on the playground, in front of all the teachers and students of the school, they went up to criticize one by one. However, considering that the perpetrator is still young and it is such an important stage as the third year of high school, the school gave everyone an internal demerit punishment in line with the principle of treating the disease and saving people, and at the same time reducing the needs of the school's negative image.
Wu Manyun is still arrogant, she gambled that Tong Yao didn't dare to mess around in school, blatantly stuck out her tongue at her, and said cruel words, a big girl of more than one meter and seven meters, with a schoolbag against the corner of the wall, scolded straight to her feet. A few minions around saw that the eldest sister was so brave, and one by one they came back to life full of blood, until the door of the office was opened, and Teacher Aisha walked over with a bundle of study materials with a serious gaze, and then they stopped and didn't dare to squeak.
Ms. Aisha didn't look at them, and walked straight into the classroom, and after a while, the sound of the lecture was heard inside, followed by the reading of the text by everyone. Tong Yao was bored, playing with ants on both feet, Teacher Aisha appeared silently, with majesty in her eyes, looking over one by one, when it was Tong Yao's turn, she paused, shook her chin, "Go in class." ”
Tong Yao got the pardon, and Gray Buqiu lowered his head and followed Aisha's ass in, leaving behind him with envious eyes.
As soon as she sat down, someone patted her on the shoulder, it was Wang Wenwen, she lowered her voice: "Tong Yao, you are famous again, why didn't you call me for such a big thing yesterday, it's a pity, do you know, you are now a person of the year in the school, and everyone is talking about you." ”
Then he looked mysterious, "But you have been careful recently, although the limelight is good, but the trouble behind the butt is not small, Wu Manyun next door has released cruel words, saying that she will do you tonight, according to the grapevine, she called a group of gangsters in the society to block you after school, you take it easy." If the situation is not right, just run, anyway, you are a track and field athlete, no one can catch up with you, and if it is not good, report to the teacher........" Wang Wenwen couldn't go on with the next words, because the eyes of Teacher Aisha on the podium were sweeping over, and she quickly put up the textbook to block her face.
Tong Yao doesn't care about this, why do you love it.
looked over and saw that the seat of squad leader Lin Wanqing was empty.
At half past ten in the morning, at the end of the third class, Lin Wanqing stepped on the tail of the class and came back, the whole person looked a little sad, her face was not washed, her hair was unkempt, and she looked decadent.
During the recess, as the class leader, Lin Wanqing came over one by one to collect the homework, passed by Tong Yao's side, said thank you timidly, and then changed her expression, and returned to her usual cold image of no one bird, and continued to collect the homework of the few people behind without looking back.
Lanshu Middle School, which is not ranked in ordinary high schools, is located in a relatively remote area in the suburbs, the school provides free lunches, but the taste is not satisfactory, the students are all day students, and some of them will have a curry rice nearby, tea bone soup or baguettes or the like at noon, and take a break in the classroom and then go to the afternoon class.
During the lunch break, everyone went out to eat, only three people in the classroom did not move, Wang Wenwen took out a delicate snack box from the hole in the table, they invited a Filipino maid, Wang Wenwen never went to the canteen to eat, she brought a small stove by herself, she used to be alone, and now she brought a big stomach Wang Tongyao by the way.
Wang Wenwen's family conditions are good, his father runs a company, and it stands to reason that she should be sent to a better school, but this person has a good temperament when she is young, and those high-end schools are fiercely competitive, and she can't even find a person like her who can speak, so she has to come back here to study, anyway, his father doesn't expect her to be much better, after all, there is a proud son in the family, her younger brother. She's also happy to be idle
Tong Yao is not a picky eater, whether it is a canteen or something else, as long as it doesn't cost money, it's good.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Tong Yao's index finger moved, the lunch boxes were stacked together, in duplicate, and when the lid was opened, in addition to the full white rice, there were also chicken breast steaks that were fried just right, pineapple fish, stir-fried pork foam, and peppercorn steak. The Filipino maid knows that Wang Wenwen is a carnivore, basically except for some side dishes, it is full of hard dishes, and it is accompanied by a hot Philippine sour soup in a thermos pot.
Tong Yao didn't care about the heat, so he reached out and grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. Wang Wenwen next to her quietly touched her, she looked up in confusion, and then followed Wang Wenwen's gaze and saw Lin Wanqing sitting on the table.
Last night's incident, it stands to reason that the squad leader hurt the most, but everyone didn't take it seriously, just regarded it as a fight between children, and Lin Wanqing had no father or mother, and there was no backstage, so she was selectively forgotten by everyone. In the past, she would go to the school cafeteria to eat, but today she was afraid that others would be embarrassed to ask about yesterday, so she simply stopped eating.
Although at the conference, the director of education avoided the important and said that it was just a fight, but the people below understood that the school was a place where information spread very quickly, one to ten, ten to hundred, and everyone knew what happened last night.
Tong Yao brought a pork chop rice over, Wang Wenwen pulled her sleeve, and said in a weak mosquito and fly voice, "What do you care about her, what do you want to do if you save her, she has always looked down on us before, and gave us small shoes to wear, and often went to the teacher's side to make a small report, she deserves it." ”
The world of children is actually very simple, with a clear distinction between good and evil. Although high school students have grown up physically, their minds are not yet mature, and what they see in their eyes and what they say in their mouths has their own immature colors.
Relatively speaking, Tong Yao was much older and spicy, gave her a look of fineness, walked over with the lunch box, gently placed it on her table, and then walked back.
Lin Wanqing raised her head in astonishment, turned her head over, and saw Tong Yao and Wang Wenwen burying their heads and eating heartlessly.
Everything was silent, Lin Wanqing smiled bitterly, picked up the pork chop rice, took a bite and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it hard, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and were wiped away by her.
