Chapter 13 Lin Xi
"Do you think you're doing the right thing?" asked Grandpa Chen.
"Not true. Xiao Chen Ping knew that his grandfather was asking about the fight, and he also understood that he was dominated by impulsive desires, which led to too much damage and trouble.
Don't look at Xiao Chen's skin, but he does have strength that he shouldn't have at this age. The fact that a nine-year-old broke the bones of a group of nine-year-olds is a testament to how terrifying his strength is.
And Xiao Chen Ping is difficult to control this unusual force, Grandpa Chen has warned him not to get angry easily since he learned to speak and walk, and to hold back and not make a move, just for fear that he will make a mistake and cause trouble.
"Then do you regret it?" As soon as Xiao Chen Ping finished answering, Grandpa Chen immediately asked again.
"No regrets. Xiao Chen Ping blurted out without hesitation.
Even if he beats someone, he is not right, but he just has no remorse, and grandpa also said that it is cowardice to endure too much, he is not a cowardly person, he has reached the time when he can't bear it.
Maybe Xiao Chen Ping's way of dealing with it was wrong, but he still didn't regret it. Even if there is a little remorse, it is only the guilt of the wooden sword and the guilt of the grandfather.
"Okay!" Grandpa Chen's serious old face finally relaxed, it seems that this lesson was not in vain.
Later, the grandfather and grandson moved, from the west of the city to the east of the city, and also lived in a dilapidated hut.
Since then, Grandpa Chen has often carved all kinds of delicate wooden toys for Xiao Chen Ping, including villains, birds, and boats. But there are no wooden swords, not even wooden toys that imitate weapons.
Xiao Chen Ping has tried to carve a wooden sword by himself, even if he carves it well, no matter how beautiful the wooden sword he makes, it is not as good as the wooden sword that is broken into three.
…………
Xiao Chen Ping moved to the east of the city, and he also did not fit in with his peers, mainly because Xiao Chen Ping was dressed in tatters and looked dirty, just like a little beggar, and no one wanted to take care of him. And Xiao Chen Ping is also used to being alone.
One day, there was a family who had just moved to the east of the city, and there was a female doll in this family, with a small face and fleshy face, very cute, like a porcelain doll.
As soon as the little girl arrived in the new environment, she was invited by many children of the same age to play together, and it was the age of the partner to play, the little girl readily agreed to their invitation, and quickly integrated into the new collective, and was given the cute nickname of "porcelain doll".
Soon, the withdrawn Chen Ping attracted the attention of the little girl, this little boy who was alone and dragged a big hemp bag, which made the little girl feel a little strange and a little ...... Particularly.
On a soft breeze caressing and the warm sun was comfortable, the little girl mustered up her courage and smiled at this little boy who was a little strange: "Hello, my name is Lin Xi." What's your name?"
"I, my name is Chen Ping. ”
Xiao Chen Ping was accosted for the first time, which was a bit unexpected and a little unnatural.
"Chen Ping, can we be friends?"
Since then, a dawn has opened Xiao Chen Ping's heart, and this porcelain doll-like girl has become the first friend Chen Ping has met.
Although the nine-year compulsory education had already been popularized at that time, Xiao Chen Ping did not set foot on campus, because he was a black household, that is, a population without a household registration, why did he not have a household registration, because his grandfather was also a black household. What's more, the conditions of his family do not support him to go to school. With an income of more than ten yuan a day, he even struggled to eat, and he could free up money to buy textbooks and school uniforms.
Therefore, Xiao Chen Ping yearns for campus life very much, and every early morning, he will use envy to see students with schoolbags bouncing to school.
And Lin Xi's appearance just made up for Xiao Chen Ping's regret.
Lin Xi lent the textbooks he had learned to Chen Ping to study, and often shared interesting stories about the campus with Chen Ping, which aroused the envy of Xiao Chen Ping for a while.
Later, the news that Lin Xi and Chen Ping were very close was told to Lin Xi's parents by the neighbors. Lin Xi's parents did not get angry because their daughter was playing with a child of unknown origin, but asked their daughter to invite Xiao Chen Ping to be a guest at home.
Xiao Chen Ping was invited by Lin Xi and did not refuse. But after all, it was the first time to go to someone else's house as a guest, and Xiao Chen Ping still had an uneasy mood. Seeing the neat and clean Lin family, Xiao Chen was a little flat and had nowhere to put it.
However, Lin Xi's parents are really good people, not the kind of people who look at others with tangible eyes, and they entertained Xiao Chen Ping very warmly, especially Lin Xi's father, who actually chatted with Chen Ping about the Three Kingdoms.
Lin Xi's father's name is Lin Heping, and he is a junior high school history teacher. Lin Heping has a strong interest in history, especially the history of the Three Kingdoms.
In the exchange with Xiao Chen Ping, it was found that Xiao Chen Ping was young and had a certain understanding of the Three Kingdoms, and he also wrote down the content of the original work, Lin Heping was very surprised and delighted, and he was quite a bit of a bosom friend.
Later, he learned that Xiao Chen Ping had not gone to school, and the knowledge he had learned was all turned out of the garbage heap, and Lin Heping felt very sorry. How good it would be for a genius like Xiao Chen Ping to shine in school.
"Chen Ping, how old are you this year. Lin Heping asked, thinking about something.
"Uncle, I'm almost twelve. Xiao Chen Ping replied.
"At your age, it's time for junior high school. Lin Heping said regretfully.
When Xiao Chen Ping left, Lin Heping forcibly stuffed a few historical books to him as a meeting gift, and Lin Xi's mother Bai Lianying gave Xiao Chen Ping an extra few white flour cakes, saying that he was too thin and asked him to take them home to eat.
Later, Lin Xi told Xiao Chen Ping that his parents liked him very much and asked him to go to the house often.
…………
After more than a month, Lin Xi ushered in a long-lost summer vacation, and now, the pair of good friends are even more inseparable, tired of being together all day long.
Xiao Chen Ping usually picks up garbage for half a day and plays with Lin Xi for half a day. And Grandpa Chen didn't say much, on the contrary, he was happy that Xiao Chen Ping had made friends. Naturally, Xiao Chen Ping went.
Lin Xi is not afraid of getting dirty, and sometimes curiously follows Xiao Chen Ping to pick up waste, as if he is still very interesting, directing Xiao Chen Ping and reporting the location of recyclable garbage. She was familiar with nature, and she also picked up bottles and cans for Xiao Chen Ping with her own hands.
As Lin Xi and Xiao Chen Ping got along more and more harmoniously, the children of the same age in the neighborhood gradually alienated Lin Xi, Lin Xi was like a nobody, still playing with Xiao Chen Ping, borrowing textbooks to Xiao Chen Ping, and inviting Xiao Chen Ping to go to his own home to make a tooth sacrifice.
Children love to play in the water, and although parents and teachers have repeatedly emphasized that they are not allowed to swim in the river, there are still fresh lives swallowed up by the water every year.
Summer scorching, swimming in the water is the best choice for children to cool down in the summer, as soon as the hot day, Lin Xi wants to go to the water to get rid of the heat, and he just pulled the reluctant Xiao Chen Ping to swim in the nearby stream.
What I never expected was that Lin Xi's kind invitation almost buried Xiao Chen Ping's life.
