Nikolay called to Ivan.

Ivan reluctantly went over to Nikolay.It is generally not a good thing for the teacher to call him.

"Did you do this?" Nikolay asked Ivan indifferently, holding a broken ball.

Ivan's face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't speak, but slowly looked at the strange children, they were smiling, and Ivan immediately understood their intentions: "No...it's not ..." Broken words leaked out of the bewildered Ivan.

He has encountered such things quite often. Before he knew Wang Yao, or even before he went to school, some people called him a thief and a bastard, because he was a poor orphan, destined to have unclean hands and feet.

"It's him, I've seen it all!" one child said loudly, and the other families echoed.

"No, I didn't..." Ivan defended himself in a low voice, but he knew it was useless, no one cared about the truth at all, all he had to do was find someone who took advantage of him and lost money.

"Stop making excuses..." the children continued to yell, and the whole class watched the farce.Without Wang Yao, no one will stand up for the helpless Ivan.

"Don't make noise!" Nicholas patted the child's forehead vigorously, and the children immediately fell silent. Nicholas nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the pale-faced Ivan and lazily ordered, "I I won’t punish you, just bring the compensation tomorrow. The total is..."

Ivan didn't hear a word of Nikolay's remaining words, and his sister Sophia's words echoed in his mind: "There is no way, Vanya, we are too poor... You have to be patient, my sister believes you are a poor man." Good boy."

Then, you have to forgive Vanya for being so dishonest, sister.

Ivan said shamefully in his aching heart.

Why am I always so weak?Why are we always being bullied?

——At this time, Yaojun, what would you do?

Yakov slept until noon before waking up. At this time, Wang Yao was making lunch in the kitchen.Looking at that thin figure, Yakov couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. This child Wang Yao is too much like his mother, from appearance to personality, especially his eyes.

When Wang Yao came out with a sandwich, Yakov stared at Wang Yao's injured face for a long time.

Seeing Yakov waking up, Wang Yao put down the food in his hands and went back to the kitchen to get a bottle of vodka.Three meals a day and three bottles of wine, this is the habit of that person.

When Wang Yao came out again, Yakov held his mother's photo for some reason and stared blankly.

"Chunyan is a very beautiful girl..." Yakov frowned lightly, showing nostalgic look.

Wang Yao said indifferently: "It's time to eat."

——The person who ruined my mother's life still has the face to say this?

There are black factory chimneys erected in the sky, and small houses are attached to them. Ivan walked along the wall of the house to the other end of the street. His head was covered with willow branches from other houses, and the soft willow branches brushed against him from time to time. hair tip.

It was the first time for Ivan to come to this street, even though his house is next door to this street.Unexpectedly, Yaojun's house is in such a remote place, and Ivan has been walking for a long time without meeting anyone.

Although the incident in the physical education class was very frustrating, Yaojun's family still has to go, and this is the most important thing right now.It's just that it's more troublesome to explain to my sister when I get home...

This... seems to be my first time going to someone's house, right?

After meeting Yaojun, I have done many things that I have never done before!

——Don’t be ashamed!

With a blushing face, Ivan combed his hair with his fingers, and pulled at the crumpled corners of his clothes. Feeling that the straightened clothes were too long, he tied them into his belt.

Well, much better!Go to the next one and ask where Yaojun's is!

"Hey, found it! There..."

"Oh...!" Suddenly someone grabbed Ivan by the collar and dragged him back!

"Hey, this is not good..."

What?who is it?Ivan stared back in panic, his eyes widened, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.what happened? !Why?

"What are you afraid of? My mother said that he is a wild boy that no one wants!" The voice became clearer and clearer, and Ivan felt that the voice was very familiar. He got up from the ground and wanted to see who caught him suddenly. However, one foot kicked his raised upper body back.

"Yes, is that so? Alright..." came the thin childish voice.

"Who are you..." Ivan turned his head with difficulty, "what are you doing..." A foot stepped on his back, making him unable to move.

"Hmph, tell you to lie!"

Ivan raised his eyes and finally saw the man's face, and his face turned pale in an instant—it was the children who framed him in physical education class!

"Why are you..." Before Ivan could finish his sentence, the pain stopped his voice, and a child's foot kicked him hard on the back.Although the pain didn't make him speechless, fear made his legs weak.

"Where is there so much nonsense! The bastard deserves to be bullied!" It was clearly a child's mouth, but it spit out words like a knife.

Ivan tried to get up several times, but a few feet stepped him back.The vicious words and the incessant punching and kicking made Ivan's mind go blank.

Now he couldn't escape, and Ivan curled up like a shrimp by instinct, so that his vitals could be protected.Fortunately, those children didn't dare to go too far, they only attacked hands, feet, backs and so on.

Ivan gradually remembered that there was often no reason for others to bully him, maybe it was just being irritable, maybe it was just that he just showed up... After staying with Wang Yao for so long, he almost forgot that he was the one being bullied .As for these children, they were all reprimanded by Mr. Nicholas in physical education class, and they probably wanted to find someone to vent their anger on.

Ivan tried in vain to block their fists and feet and get up, his mind consumed with fear and defenseless amidst the storm of bullying.

"Why……"

His sister's tears and Wang Yao's injured face flashed before Iwan's eyes.

Why do people keep bullying us over and over again?

Ivan clenched his teeth, trying to reach out with a hand to grab a man's foot and drag him down—

"Hey you guys! What are you doing in front of my uncle's house?!"

The children's fists stopped suddenly, and Ivan was stunned and quickly got up from the ground.Gilbert stood in front of Ivan with his hands on his hips, and Ivan could only see Gilbert's shoes.

"It's Gilbert from Class 2! Run!" The children scattered like frightened birds as soon as they saw Gilbert.

"Cut, coward!" Gilbert made a face in the direction they scattered.

Ivan tried to stand up, but his feet gave way and he fell back down.Gilbert looked at Ivan strangely: "Why do you look like a bear at my door?"

Ivan wiped his dirty face and looked at the wall next to him, he could vaguely see the spire of the villa inside: Huh?Is Gilbert the young master of this family?

"Speak!" Gilbert raised his voice impatiently.He took a closer look at Ivan, and found that although he was treated so badly, he didn't cry as spinelessly as before, so he couldn't help but feel better.

Ivan shook his head, not wanting to speak, he was afraid that he would vomit as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother?" Another little boy with blond hair came out from the door of the fence, looked at Gilbert suspiciously, and then frowned, "Brother, are you fighting again?" He saw the dirty boy sitting on the ground Xixi Ivan.

"No, no!" Gilbert hurriedly explained, "This kid himself..."

"...forget it," the boy glanced at Gilbert suspiciously, then looked at Ivan, "what's the matter with you? If my brother did something..."

"Hey Ash, I really didn't do anything..."

Ivan shook his head: "... May I ask where is Wang Yao's house?"

"Wang Yao?" The boy thought for a while, "Is it the child of the Ostrovsky family? His house is over there, next to Maxim's bakery." He pointed to the depths of the street.

Ivan nodded, indicating that he understood: "Thank you."

Then he stood up slowly under the eyes of the Beshmik brothers and walked away.Not into the depths of the street, but off the street.

"What happened to that guy..."

Ivan limped to the initial fork, and the number of people gradually increased.Those kids just kicked his calf, which made him feel weak and sore.

Ivan patted his clothes and face clean, took a deep breath, and walked normally as if nothing had happened, even though his feet were trembling with every step.

How embarrassing... How can I go to see that child like this?

Ivan forced himself to laugh to cheer himself up.You can't fail again tomorrow.

In this way, he walked through the crowd, and returned to his broken, small and warm home with exhaustion and shame.

"Welcome back, Vanya!" As soon as she got home, the radiant Sofia kissed Ivan on both cheeks.

"Sister, sister, you're back too..." Ivan blinked in surprise, and Sophia hadn't shown such a happy expression for several months, "What's the matter? I feel like my sister is very happy."

Sophia showed a shy smile: "I made some money today, we can eat bread!"

"Ah, is that so..." Ivan felt that Sister Sophia was not really so happy about the bread.Where is it weird...

"It's Vanya, what's wrong with you? You don't feel very energetic..." Sophia frowned worriedly.

"No, Vanya is very happy to be able to eat bread!" Ivan widened his eyes and smiled slightly.After lying so many times, I can finally smile more naturally.as for sports
