CHAPTER XXXIII
Make-up classes are quite effective for Li Haoran, entering the third year of junior high school means facing the high school entrance examination, Wang Chu did not dare to relax on him, and discussed applying for cram school again but was rejected.
"Mom, I can learn the knowledge points in the book, don't apply for cram school for the time being, and when all the classes in the third year of junior high school are finished, I think I haven't learned to apply for cram school again, my sister is here, I can still ask her if she doesn't."
"Are you sure you won't report it?"
"I'm sure and sure, to save you some money and buy some cosmetics, you see how deep your crow's feet are? Do you see the bags under your eyes? Gee....... Li Haoran was distressed and sarcastic, "It's time to take good care of it." ”
"I'm almost forty years old, and I'm a monster without crow's feet."
"Don't quibble Mom, my classmates in our class are forty-five and haven't wrinkled, I said you should really take care of it."
"The son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor." Wang Chu said angrily, "Why do you still think I'm ugly when I'm old?" ”
"I won't dislike you for being ugly, I'm afraid that you will affect the city." Li Haoran chuckled.
Wang Chu picked up the bear doll on the sofa and hit him, "Bear child, where did you learn such mean words?" Mess with your mother. ”
Li Haoran got up from the sofa and ran out of the door with a hippie smile, "Mom, I'll go out to play." ”
"Go home early, I want to go back to work, and you have to listen to grandma at home."
"I see." The door was shut, and Li Haoran had disappeared without a trace.
"It's strange that I can handle your naughty ghost." The mother was embroidering cross-stitch in the corner of the sofa and muttering.
"Hao Hao is quite obedient, but he is naughty." Wang Chu explained.
"Hmm." The mother nodded sly, "Just don't me off." ”
Wang Chu frowned, "If he is disobedient, you can tell me." ”
Mother didn't bring reading glasses, but she looked at Wang Chu in the posture of looking at people from reading glasses, "I told you to practice like when you were a child?" I might as well slap myself twice, it doesn't hurt. ”
Wang Chu hesitated, shook his head, and stopped talking.
My mother's house is more than 60 kilometers away from the unit, and it takes nearly an hour to take the bus every time, and the bus is very convenient, basically half an hour, and it is much more convenient to go back and forth. Back to the unit, in this leisurely day, as time went by, Wang Chu felt bored and a waste of time, only Sister Feng went to the office, and no one cared if she didn't go for two days, so she had to lock herself at home, prepare snacks and fruits, turn on the computer, and start her another novel "Tumshuk Night Weiyang".
Every hour or so, Wang Chu gets up and twists his neck, rubs his shoulders, moves his shins, or eats snacks and fruits, or goes to the toilet to look at the scenery outside the window. Cook some rice at noon, stir-fry a random vegetable to solve the food and clothing, sleep for an hour, get up on time, and then continue writing. In addition to Li Haoran's study, she devoted herself to writing, but she didn't want to be tired, she fell asleep, closed the computer and fell asleep, ate when she was hungry, drank water when she was thirsty, and turned off the lights to sleep before twelve o'clock at night. The next day, she didn't wake up until she woke up naturally, cooked some porridge, and continued to write after breakfast.
"Mom, when did you and my dad get divorced?" One afternoon more than two months later, Li Haoran suddenly called and asked.
"You...... How do you know? Li Haoran's questioning caught Wang Chu off guard
"You don't care how I know, just tell me when you two got divorced?"
"It's been more than three months." Wang Chu replied truthfully.
"Did you divorce with my consent? Have you asked my opinion? ”
"Son." Wang Chu explained, "I once said, you don't care about the affairs of adults, you just need to study hard." ”
"You're both like this, why am I still studying so hard? Have you considered my feelings? What did you two do with me? Air? Or was it picked up? ”
"Son, listen to me ......." Wang Chu still wanted to explain, but the other party had already hung up the phone, she gasped, the hand holding the mobile phone gradually drooped, the taste in her heart was full of flavors, closed the computer, put on her coat, stopped a car on the side of the road and went to Tumshuk.
After arriving home, her mother was still embroidering cross-stitch in the corner of the sofa, her nephew Queen An Wen was studying alone in the room, and Li Haoran was not at home.
"Where did Hao Hao go?" Wang Chu asked.
"I'm going to play basketball with my classmates again." The mother said, "Oh. The mother straightened up and looked at the time on her phone, "I usually come back in more than two hours, what's wrong today?" I've been out all morning and haven't come back yet. ”
Wang Chu didn't speak, she dialed Li Haoran's phone, showing that "the phone you dialed is on the phone." ”
Li Haoran didn't answer the phone, Wang Chu was very sad, she opened the door and entered Li Haoran's room, the quilt was not as neatly folded as before, a pair of shoes was placed on the edge of the bed, the slippers were one east and one west, and a few clothes were messily placed on the bed. She sighed, set her shoes in order, put her slippers together, folded the clothes on the bed and put them in the closet.
Li Haoran never came back, and he didn't come back until the meal, Wang Chu made three calls in a row, and Li Haoran hung up all of them.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was a noise downstairs, Wang Chu turned on the light, illuminated the mobile phone flashlight and went downstairs, she recognized at a glance that the person squatting in the corner and vomiting was Li Haoran, and the other two classmates supported him.
"Why do you drink so much alcohol?" Wang Chu saw Li Haoran slumped on the ground, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"He ......." One classmate explained, "He'...... I'm in a bad mood. Then he said nothing, and his face was sullen.
"Let's get him in first." Wang Chu said that two classmates pulled him up and dragged him home, and he was placed on the bed like a puddle of mud.
"Auntie, don't blame him, he ...... Really in a bad mood. A classmate said.
"Auntie, don't blame him." Another classmate repeated.
"I see." Wang Chu nodded, "Don't worry, I won't scold him, you go back to rest early, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Auntie is not hard." After saying that, the two left.
Li Haoran was so drunk that he was unconscious, Wang Chu sat on the edge of the bed, wiped the residue of vomit from the corners of his mouth for him, helped him take off his clothes, touched his hands, and tears flowed down his face. She didn't know how much damage the divorce had caused him, she was just thinking that if her parents divorced at this moment, she would not be able to accept it. But what can be done, the divorce has become a fact, and her marriage with Li Xiangyang is designated as not going back, because she understands very well everything she has suffered over the years.
When Li Haoran woke up, it was about ten o'clock the next day, and when he saw Wang Chu in front of him, he got up and picked up his clothes, put on his shoes, and looked for his mobile phone in bed for a long time before coming out of the door.
"Haohao, where are you going?" Wang Chu grabbed Li Haoran.
"You don't care." Li Haoran threw Wang Chu away, pushed her to the ground, and left the house.
"What's going on?" Mother came out of the bedroom, put on her shirt, and helped Wang Chu up, "Why is Hao Hao going to be so powerful?" ”
Wang Chu didn't answer, just shed tears, sat on the sofa, and her mother asked several times, but she didn't speak. She wanted to have a good talk with Li Haoran, and the phone kept prompting, "The phone you dialed is on the phone." She went to school to look for him, but as soon as he saw her, he ran away, and followed him to the classroom, he wrapped his clothes around his head, and didn't look at her, and his classmates looked at them in surprise, so she had to go home first.
For two days at home, Wang Chu didn't wait for Li Haoran, waiting for him at the school gate, he still ran away, she couldn't catch up at all, and she couldn't think of any other way, so she had to return to the unit.
Her mother learned about Wang Chu's divorce on the third day after Wang Chu returned to work, and Wang Anwen told her mother the news, and Wang Anwen took five days to get the news from Li Haoran.
The mother did not come to question Wang Chu, and the father did not say a word, but called to greet him, only saying, "Have you eaten?" "Are you at work?" "What are you doing?" "When are you going home?" She had to answer a few simple words.
Wang Anwen tricked Li Haoran into going home after saying anything, but she was willing to go home when she was sure that Wang Chu was not at home. His mother made dumplings for him and made a large plate of chicken, but he ate nearly 50 dumplings, and most of the chicken was eaten, and his mother only touched her tears, Wang Anwen only pursed her mouth, her eyes were slightly red, she didn't comfort her, she just grieved together.
"Come home on time every day, and grandma will make you something to eat." Mother said that even her voice was trembling.
"Oh." Li Haoran only replied to this, got up and went back to his room, and locked the door.
Wang Anwen quietly sent a WeChat message to Wang Chu, "Auntie, Haohao is home, don't worry." ”,
"Okay." Wang Chu replied, "Is he okay?" ”
The niece sent another message, "He's okay, auntie, don't go home for the time being." ”
Wang Chu replied again, "OK." ”
One day more than a week ago, Wang Chu received a call from the head teacher, Mr. Run, saying that Li Haoran had not listened to class recently, had been sleeping in class, and had been late three times. He also said that students who were late would be deducted class points and asked her to go to school as soon as possible.
The school's campus songs can be heard along the back door of the campus, Wang Chu registered his ID card at the door, entered the campus gate, and when he found Teacher Run, Li Haoran was in the teacher's office.
"Li Haoran's parents." Teacher Yun stood up from his chair, "Please take a seat." She poured a cup of tea for Wang Chu and sat back in her chair, "Your Li Haoran just came to study during that time, and he was never late, he was very active in what the school did, he was always late recently, and several teachers reported that he slept in class, and there were two sleeping incidents in my class." She turned her gaze to Li Haoran, "Ah, Li Haoran, what's wrong with you lately?" Your mother is here now, let's have a good talk, what do you think in your heart? ”
Li Haoran stood there, bowing his head and not speaking, Wang Chu looked at him gloomily, she knew very well the reason for his rebellion, but she could not grit her teeth.
"Is it because your mother is not by your side, your grandmother can't control you anymore, or you don't want to study yourself, you talk about it, and the teacher will help you analyze it." Teacher Run looked at Li Haoran with appreciative eyes, he still didn't speak, Teacher Run persuaded again, "If you don't open your mouth, you can't do it, Li Haoran, you have to tell me why you want to be like this, I heard that you were naughty and playful when you were in elementary school, but your academic performance is in the top few in the class, you are not only late for school and sleeping in class now, the third year of junior high school is a very important year, and if it goes on like this, it will affect the high school entrance examination, and you will not be able to keep up with high school in the future, and the impact on you in the future is immeasurable." ”
From the beginning of Teacher Run's speech, Wang Chu kept staring at Li Haoran, but he turned to his face, and he didn't look at her from beginning to end, even if it was a squint, or an afterglow. But she read in his eyes the inexplicable melancholy, sadness, and hatred.
"Maybe it's about changing schools, maybe his grandmother likes to nag, maybe he had some unpleasant ...... with his sister before." Wang Chu said vaguely, slurring, and Teacher Run seemed to see through the unbreakable knot between the mother and son. She looked at me diagonally, looked at the schedule, and got up from her chair.
"After class, I have to talk to Teacher Zhang about something." Teacher Run explained, and then patted Li Haoran on the shoulder, "Have a good talk with your mother, and I'll be back in ten minutes." ”
Teacher Run walked out of the classroom and closed the door, Wang Chu saw Li Haoran's side face brow tied in a knot, his expression of melancholy, sadness, and hatred was more obvious than before, and it was also mixed with irritability and disgust, although she couldn't fully see his whole face, she could still feel the resistance emanating from him.
Wang Chujing looked at Li Haoran quietly for a while, in fact, her tears had been endured and not allowed to flow, her nose was sour, and her heart twitched little by little. She was worried that Teacher Run was outside the door, so she listened to the movement outside the door with a sideways face, only the footsteps and noise of students in the corridor, she opened the classroom door and closed the door after making sure that there was no teacher in the corridor.
"Haohao." Wang Chu approached Li Haoran step by step after struggling with his heart and expression for a long time, "I know you blame me...... blame me, blame me...... Didn't tell you about my divorce from your dad. After a long time of tears and a sour nose, a little snot flowed, she pulled a piece of paper on the coffee table to wipe it, "You should remember your father's behavior, I ......." ”
"So it's a matter of course for you to get divorced? So you two don't take my son seriously? I don't even have the right to know, do I? Li Haoran still didn't turn his head, but his voice was trembling very obviously.
"Haohao, it's not what you think." Wang Chu explained, going to pull Li Haoran's arm.
Li Haoran let Wang Chu go, "What's that?" He finally turned his head, and the kind of murderous aura in his eyes that he had never seen before would be shocking to see, "Don't I exist?" He didn't dare to raise his voice too high, and said clearly word by word, almost in a suppressed voice, "Take me as air?" Or do you just don't give birth to me? ”
Li Haoran's language and ideas were too clear, Wang Chu almost didn't know how to answer, and she felt like a knife cutting her heart in every word of his language, "Haohao." Wang Chu slowly approached Li Haoran, "Don't do this first, I'll go back first, and when you get out of class, let's find a place to have a good talk, okay?" ”
"What is there to talk about?" Li Haoran's irritability became more obvious, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, "Can you remarry?" Can I have a dad? Do you know what other people think about children whose parents are divorced? Do you know what kind of eyes they look at me one by one? In the end, he yelled, and after speaking, he walked out of the door, Wang Chu chased him out, but he bumped into Teacher Run, and Li Haoran had disappeared into the corridor.
Wang Chu's tears had already flowed undisguisedly, she wanted to pretend in front of Teacher Run, but she had already seen it.
"Li Haoran may be about to reach the stage of rebellion." Teacher Run comforted, in fact, she used the most appropriate word, "Children at this stage should communicate with him in a different way." ”
Wang Chu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Maybe, the child has grown up and has his own thoughts in his heart." ”
"Take your time, Li Haoran's mother, I will find an opportunity to communicate with Li Haoran and explore his true thoughts."
"Thank you, Mr. Run."
Teacher Herun left the school gate after saying goodbye to Wang Chu, she didn't go home, but waited for Li Haoran at the school gate, but what greeted him was that he pushed her away in front of many classmates, and yelled, "I don't want to see you, please disappear from my eyes." ”
Wang Chu went home, she knew that it was useless to talk to Li Haoran at this time, and he needed a longer time to slowly accept this matter. She had to wait, but what she was waiting for was a call from Teacher Run again and again, and a notice again and again that she was called to school, and the incident was not so serious that Li Haoran was late and slept in class, but from not going to school all day to not going to school for six consecutive days.
"I talked to Li Haoran after that day." Wang Chu was called to the office after Li Haoran didn't go to school for the first time, and when he was called to the office, Teacher Run said, "He didn't mention this, he only told me that he couldn't sleep at night, and he dozed off during the day, and he promised me to come to school on time and listen to the class well. ”
Wang Chu had to sigh deeply, she bit her lower lip helplessly, and Teacher Run said, "Our school will find a way together to persuade Li Haoran." ”
Wang Chu nodded, that day, she and Teacher Run did not get through Li Haoran's phone, returned to her mother's house, and still did not wait for Li Haoran all night, and then skipped school for six days, which also alarmed the police, Wang Chu had to tell Teacher Run about her divorce from Li Haoran's father.
Wang Chu reported the case, Li Haoran did not go home for six days, nor did she go to school, she searched all the classmates he contacted on weekdays, and the school also called all the parents of the students who played with Li Haoran, but there was still no news.
One day, Wang Chu received a call from the police station, saying that Li Haoran's traces were found in a community, and finally it was determined that it was Li Haoran in the community's surveillance, and Wang Chu stayed for a whole day to reach him.
Li Haoran and a classmate walked from afar to enter the community, and they only appeared all day, and eighty percent went to the Internet café. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and his white shoes had dirty dirt on the surface, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as Hanako.
Wang Chu and the police followed them to the building, and when they saw them going down to the basement, Li Haoran saw that she wanted to run away and was stopped by the police at the door.
There was only one wooden bed in the basement room, there were only net covers on the bed, no sheets, no quilt covers, no pillows, leftover instant noodle boxes on the ground, and some leftover snacks.
"Li Haoran, what do you want to do?" Wang Chu asked, her thin body almost trembling.
"You don't have to." Li Haoran tried his best to resist.
"I'm your mother, I don't care who cares about you?" Wang Chu lowered his voice and shouted.
"Don't do that to your mother, kid." The policeman took Li Haoran's hand, "Your mother hasn't even drunk a sip of water and waited for you all day, can you understand her difficulty?" Skipping school at a young age, I will cooperate with your mother to send you back to school. ”
