Chapter 30: The Family Gang
Liao Su and Liu Qing finished eating noodles, Liu Qing also regained some strength, and then, the two walked out of the noodle restaurant.
Liu Qing was embarrassed, and it would be even more embarrassing to stay with Liao Su, so he had to go back to school directly.
Liao Su grabbed Liu Qing's arm and said, "It's still early, it's better to go back after a turn." ”
Liu Qing felt that Liao Su had invited him to dinner, so he didn't refuse, nodded and agreed.
Walking on the road, the two did not chat, and walked silently for nearly 200 meters, and finally, Liu Qing still spoke first.
He said to Liao Su, "Why are you inviting me to dinner? ”
Liao Su didn't break it directly, but said: "I want you to accompany me to eat what I like to eat, this must not give you some benefits, otherwise how can you come with me?" ”
Liu Qing couldn't help it, he said, "Thank you." ”
Liao Su pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's there to thank you for, it's all classmates, it's a little meaning." ”
Liu Qing continued: "When I first came to school on Sunday, I was at the gate, and I was blocked by them. ”
"My dad gave me sixty-five yuan for living expenses this week, and they took it all in one go."
"I didn't have my first meal since Sunday afternoon."
Liao Su had already guessed, and he asked, "Why didn't you tell the teacher?" ”
Liu Qing replied: "It's useless to say it, and the teacher can't control them, they are still "at large". ”
"Also, those people are not good people, and if they knew that I was "informing", they wouldn't just want money next time. ”
Liao Su said: "Then you told the teacher, at least the teacher will help you solve the problem of eating, and will not let you go hungry." ”
"This week has just begun, and you still have nearly 5 days to pass, can you bear it?"
Liu Qing looked sad and said, "Let's take one step at a time, I told the teacher that it is not good for me." ”
In fact, Liao Su himself knew that if he didn't know those people, he was robbed, and he didn't dare to tell the teacher.
This seems to be the voice of the vast majority of honest students, because they are "afraid" of these "gangsters", so they dare not confide in anything.
It is precisely because the "gangsters" have seized this mentality of the students that they will be unscrupulous.
Liu Qing saw that Liao Su didn't speak, so he continued: "You must not tell the teacher about this. ”
"I don't want the teacher to know, and I don't want us to let our classmates know."
Liao Su nodded, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”
"By the way, then you don't have a penny on you now, what will you do with your life after this, and what will happen to the cost of going home?"
Liu Qing replied: "If you can't do it in the next few days, you can borrow some money, and you can only borrow the fare." ”
"If you really can't borrow money, then when you're hungry, go drink tap water, and if you can't go home, walk back."
Liao Su said: "Forget it, your method can't work at all, you will join me this week, and I will put it on first." ”
"I can also lend you the fare, and when you have enough money, you can pay me back."
Liu Qing asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Liao Su smiled and said, "I'm not helping you, I'm just helping myself." ”
"You see that other people eat together, and I am alone and have long wanted to find someone to be with."
"You just don't have any money now, and I just don't have someone to eat with me now, isn't this a combination?"
"In a way, when I help you, I'm helping myself."
Liu Qing knew that Liao Su said this just to reassure himself and not feel indebted to him.
Liao Su continued to ask: "You have been in Xicheng for a long time, do you know anything about Xicheng?" ”
Liu Qing said: "I am very familiar with Xicheng, I can find the way with my eyes closed, do you have any places you want to go, I can take you there." ”
Liao Su said with a smile: "I'm not talking about this, I mean do you know these gangsters in Xicheng?" ”
Liu Qing thought for a few seconds and replied, "I know some, but I'm not a mix, and I don't know much." ”
Liao Su asked, "Then do you know a man named Li Hui?" ”
Liu Qing shook his head and replied, "I don't know, and I haven't heard anyone say it." ”
Liao Su was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to know about Li Hui's "background", but he didn't expect Liu Qing to know either.
Liao Su had no choice but to continue to ask: "Then the Wang Ba in our dormitory, did you know before?" ”
Liu Qing said: "Wang Ba, I know, his father is a gangster, and his family is not doing a serious business. ”
This made Liao Su curious again, and he continued to ask: "Did you and Wang Ba be classmates before, how do you know about him?" ”
Liu Qing replied: "I didn't know him before, but I have a fellow countryman who used to be a classmate with him. ”
When he was in junior high school, Wang Ba always got into fights with people and was often "hung" in the office. ”
His father and his uncle seemed to be doing "fairy jumping", and they often fought at the central market at night. ”
It was the first time Liao Su had heard the word "immortal jump", and he felt quite novel.
Liu Qing wanted to continue, but Liao Su interrupted him and asked, "What is 'Immortal Jump'?" Is it in the game console business? ”
Liu Qing shook his head and explained: ""Immortal Jumping" is to let a very beautiful woman seduce a single or single man. “
"Led him into the room to get ready to run errands, and just as he took off his clothes, suddenly the door was kicked open."
"Immediately after that, he rushed into a bunch of accomplices such as husbands, brothers, or fathers who claimed to be the woman, and caught the man with high libido red-handedly."
"Then, he was forced to sign a huge amount of compensation, and if he did not comply, he would be violent with his fists and feet, and he would not give up if he could not get the so-called shame money."
"Literally, it means that even immortals can't jump out of the pit, and they use the psychology of hunting to trap people."
After listening to the explanation, Liao Su suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case." ”
"Hey~ By the way, then their family is engaged in this kind of business, so no one will take care of it?"
Liu Qing said: "These people are all committed by gangs, and there is a "protective umbrella" on them, only they bully people. ”
"I heard that all of them do this, his father and uncle are brothers, and his mother and his aunt are sisters."
His mother and aunt were in charge of going out to find "prey", and his father and uncle seized the opportunity to go in and extort money. ”
When Liao Su heard this shocking news, he was shocked, and he couldn't imagine that there was really such a "family gang".
However, since the Wang Ba family is also considered "on the road" in Xicheng, then their family must have a rival.
And Liao Su believes that Li Hui is on the other side, and there must be some "connection" between them.
Coming out of the noodle shop, the two walked around the perimeter of the "central market", and when they returned to the classroom, it was already 12:55.
Most of the students have already entered the classroom, and now there is more homework.
In order to facilitate everyone to help each other learn, Ms. Pu ingeniously divided the class into 8 groups.
It's just that I haven't taken a test yet, and everyone's ability is not particularly clear to Mr. Pu.
At the moment, groups can only be divided according to everyone's seats, and he plans to wait for the new seating chart to come out before doing another group split.
During the self-study at noon, Liao Su originally planned to read a novel, but as soon as the bell rang, the representative of the English class "issued" the English teacher's "order".
The representative of the English class said: "The English teacher said, now review the words, phrases and sentences at the back of the book, and dictate in 20 minutes. ”
When the students heard this, they naturally scolded in their hearts, but what was the use?
Liao Su's most annoying thing is dictation, but now it's okay, I thought I would read and dictate in the morning, but I didn't expect to let go of the noon time.
Everyone began to prepare, there is no other reason, if there are many mistakes, and the requirements are not met, one is hundreds of times of copying, who can withstand this!
Liao Su reluctantly took out the English book, and Liao Su didn't know any of the words on it.
After staring at the textbook for more than ten minutes, but not writing down any of them, Yang Lin whispered to Li Dieche in front: "Dieche, when I write it silently, you have to help me." ”
Li Dieche said with a smile: "No problem, after I write it out, put it on the side, you can take a look." ”
Yang Lin said: "You are really good to me, this great kindness, I Yang Lin will never forget it in my life." ”
Liao Su glanced at the empty seat on the side, he had always sat alone, and even those who wanted to copy the same table had no chance.
It was 18 minutes from the time the representative of the English class announced that he was going to dictate to the time the English teacher came in.
When the English teacher came in, she glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "There are still about two minutes left, I'll expand on it for you." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and wrote on the blackboard as he spoke, adding more than 30 new words in two minutes.
At 20 minutes, the English teacher looked at the time and said, "Give everyone another 5 minutes to write down the blackboard." ”
Liao Su didn't care what she said, but just counted how many there were, so that he could prepare to copy them in advance.
As soon as the five minutes were up, the English teacher said, "Okay, let's start dictating now, and the leaders of each group will collect the English books for me." ”
She asked people to go up and wipe the blackboard clean, and then she officially began to dictate.
Liao Su only memorized a few, but as a result, he dictated more than fifty, and now he copied again.
Originally, Liao Su was not very good at dictation, and he didn't pay attention to dictation when he was dictating, so he quietly looked around the classroom.
The English teacher was very serious, holding the book and saying one tick by one, what she didn't notice was that many people were cheating.
This Liao Su is all in his eyes, his position can be said to be "excellent", if he wants to cheat, then he can write a few anyway.
However, Liao Su didn't have this idea since he was a child, he knew in his heart that cheating now was just deceiving himself and deceiving the teacher.
Even if you get 100 in every subject now, when you get to the college entrance examination, you will not be beaten back to your original shape.
If there is a way to cheat in the college entrance examination, then Liao Su has long been learning how to cheat efficiently.
Liu Hui's English was okay according to himself, so Liao Su took a special look at him.
At this glance, he saw that there was a problem, Liu Hui had two pieces of paper on his desk, and he had to write another one every time he finished writing.
And in the entire classroom, except for Liao Su, there was another person who was not dictating, and that person was Wang Ba.
Liao Su thought, it seems that this Wang Ba is not good, but there is someone who can accompany him to the bottom.
After the dictation was finished, the English teacher confiscated everyone's dictation paper, and Liao Su inadvertently glanced at Liu Hui.
Liu Hui actually handed over the two pieces of paper, what is the situation? It's 50 dictation, and the front and back of the homework paper are enough, so why do you need two?
Liao Su didn't think much about it, and after the book was sent, Liao Su took out the specially copied homework book and began to copy it in advance.
In the afternoon, the dictation results came out, and as Liao Su expected, fortunately he copied some in advance.
There is still a little difference between high school and junior high school, and maybe it's a regional difference.
At that time, when I was in junior high school in Sioux City, if the dictation was very poor, I had to re-dictate.
The names of all those who need to be rewritten will be hung on the blackboard and will be visible to every teacher who comes to class.
If you want to erase the name, you have to copy the dictation 100 times and then go to the teacher to dictate.
The name can only be erased after the second dictation is completed, and all the dictation is correct.
If you haven't dictated it before school, you'll have to copy each one 500 times.
This doesn't put the name on the blackboard, but you still have to copy it, and you don't have to rush to re-dictate it, you just need to finish it the next day.
However, in junior high school, most of them are written 20 silently at a time, and in this high school, there are at least 30 or 50 at a time.
In the evening, Liao Su took Liu Qing to the restaurant, and he said to Liu Qing: "What do you want to eat, swipe my card." ”
Saying that, Liao Su handed the restaurant card to Liu Qing, Liu Qing was a little embarrassed, and said, "I won't eat at night, what do you want to eat, I'll wait for you." ”
Liao Su knew that Liu Qing was embarrassed, so he said: "Eat as you like, just accompany me here, I'll eat here." ”
Liu Qing was willing, he said: "Buy what you want to eat first, I'll take a look before I go." ”
There are not many things to eat at night, but Liao Su is still willing to eat another bowl of noodles, this leek box in Xicheng No. 1 Middle School, to be honest, "the first in the world" is not an exaggeration.
It's so delicious, Liao Su has only eaten one before, and he can't resist the temptation, as long as he comes to the restaurant, as long as the restaurant is available, Liao Su must buy one.
After Liao Su finished buying, Liu Qing gave Liao Su a place, he walked over, handed the restaurant card to Liu Qing, and said, "There are more than twenty in it, you can buy whatever you want to eat." ”
Liu Qing took the card and said, "Thank you." ”
Liao Su stirred the dough evenly, a mouthful of dough and a leek box, the taste was simply friendless.
In less than three minutes, Liu Qing came back, and he bought himself a bowl of noodles.
He returned the card to Liao Su, who asked, "Can you eat enough for this bowl of dough?" ”
Liu Qing replied: "Enough, I don't eat much at night, and this bowl of noodles is also large, enough." ”
Liao Su didn't say anything more, and after the two of them finished eating, Liao Su was worried that Liu Qing was not full, so he bought two more buckets of instant noodles.
He gave a bucket to Liu Qing, who refused and said, "No need, I'm already full." ”
Liao Su said: "Take it, wait until you are hungry that night, and then eat it." ”
Because Liao Su helped Liu Qing, he treated Liao Su honestly, and the two often went together.
No matter what the reason is, in Liao Su's heart, Liu Qing and Liu Hui are different in nature.
Not to mention other places, when he gave the restaurant card, Liao Su felt that this was a matter of "upbringing".
However, he has nothing to say, after all, he saw the wrong person first, who can blame him?
