Sharp first test

On this day, Mingxu had a long-lost dream.

In the dream, he was still a 10-year-old child. On the first day of moving, he met Yang Shiqing, who was bluffing like a little tyrannosaurus but smiling very cutely.

Yang Shiqing lived next door to his house, and the mothers of the two families quickly became close because of their common interests, and they often got together to chat and knit sweaters.Mingxu's father is a truck driver, he leaves early and returns late every day, and rarely stays with the mother and son at home.Therefore, Ming Xu liked to follow his mother since he was a child, and wherever his mother went, he would follow her.Mingxu's mother likes to visit Aunt Yang's house, so Mingxu also goes to the next door to play from time to time.Ming Xu was smart and smart since he was a child, and Aunt Yang, who spoke with a milky voice, called Aunt Yang so affectionately that she melted Yang's mother's heart, leaving a portion of whatever delicious food there was for Xiao Mingxu.

So at the very beginning, little Yang Shiqing didn't have a good impression of Xiao Mingxu, only remembering that he was a strange kid who liked to snatch his own candies.Yang Shiqing loves to eat sweets, and he is so happy that his mouth is full of tooth decay.But every time Mingxu comes, all the candies are in Mingxu's pocket.Yang Shiqing bared her teeth in anger, but Yang's mother told everyone this as a joke.

As smart as Ming Xu, of course he could see Yang Shiqing's careful thinking at a glance.Once the two families had dinner together, Mingxu secretly stuffed a bag of candies he had collected into Yang Shiqing's coat pocket.

Mingxu actually doesn't like sweets, but he knows that Yang Shiqing likes them very much.He has collected that bag of candy for half a month, soft candy, hard candy, fruit candy, milk candy...everything.

In fact, it is just a little effort, but unexpectedly the effect is surprisingly good.When meeting Yang Shiqing for the second time, Yang Shiqing's eyes looking at Mingxu were no longer full of hostility and defense, but were replaced by surprise and overflowing joy. To be honest, it was extremely cute.

It was also on that day that Yang Shiqing came to talk to him for the first time.By the embankment, two mothers were walking behind while talking and laughing. Yang Shiqing was a little tired after playing around, blushing and awkwardly walked towards Ming Xu, looking at him with clear and tentative eyes: "Candy is delicious, Thank you!" After speaking, he felt embarrassed, turned around and ran away after the kite.

The two children officially became friends because of a coincidence.This day Mingxu finished class and was walking home, but was blocked by two tall boys from senior grades.

One of the fierce-looking boys smiled and said, "Little brother, how old are you?"

"Did Mom send pocket money? Lend some to my brothers?"

Xiao Mingxu, who is in the third grade, has never encountered such a situation, and he is actually terrified in his heart, but he knows that he must not write his fear on his face at this moment: "I didn't bring any money today, I'm sorry, brother."

The two elder brothers looked at each other, "Little brother, you will be beaten for lying!" As they spoke, they were about to come up and search Ming Xu's schoolbag forcibly.Mingxu yelled subconsciously, and stretched out his hand, clutching the schoolbag tightly, even if his fingernails scratched the cover, he held back his tears to prevent others from snatching it away.

Inside the schoolbag is 20 yuan wrapped tightly in a paper handkerchief. This is the money his mother gave him to buy homework books for the teacher, and he must not lose it.If lost, my mother will be very sad.

When the two tall boys saw it, their noses were crooked with anger.As soon as they stretched out their hands, Ming Xu was pushed to the ground, and the two of them yelled to unzip Ming Xu's schoolbag, cursing and digging out the contents with their hands.

Ming Xu could hardly hold back his tears, but a clear voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Stop!"

Mingxu looked back, and it turned out that Yang Shiqing was standing behind him with a few boys.Before the two senior boys could react, a fat man behind Yang Shiqing rushed over, lifted a small stone on the ground and threw it at them: "You bully the weak, what kind of man are you!"

The tall boy was hit in the stomach and screamed in pain. The other boy saw this and was about to fight back, but Yang Shiqing took the lead in picking up his schoolbag and smashing it on his head. The sound almost stopped on the branch. The birds on the board were scared away.

"He is my friend, I don't allow you to bully him!" Yang Shiqing pointed at Mingxu, but stared at the two senior boys with sharp eyes.The majestic expression actually shocked the two tall boys a bit.

The two tall boys were so angry that they wanted to fight back, but the bear boys around them were smarter than the other, so they picked up the small stones and twigs around them and threw them at them.The two boys were outnumbered, so they had no choice but to drop Mingxu's schoolbag, cursed a few nasty words, then turned around and ran away quickly.

After the two boys ran away, Yang Shiqing helped Ming Xu up from the ground, picked up his schoolbag and returned it to him.Mingxu was so anxious to look through it, but fortunately, the paper handkerchief was still intact.After reassuring, Mingxu raised his head again, looking at Yang Shiqing with red eyes, just about to say: "Thank you..."

But Yang Shiqing waved his hand: "It's nothing, you, it's just that you look too gentle and weak, that's why you are bullied by these little hooligans!"

Ming Xu was taken aback, Yang Shiqing smiled so much that he showed his big white teeth, and said with a smile: "Like me, dark, strong and handsome, I have never been troubled by anyone."

"From now on, just follow me! I will protect you until you become black and strong!"

It was a wonderful feeling.It was also the first time that Mingxu began to notice his own appearance.Facing the mirror in the bathroom, Mingxu stared at the person inside in a daze.That was a white, tender, gentle and well-behaved boy, the complete opposite of Yang Shiqing.why?

Ming Xu kept looking at the mirror until his mother's urging voice came from outside the door.Mingxu was embarrassed to let her mother know that she had been looking in the mirror for so long, so she had to lie and run away from the toilet by claiming that she was constipated.

After that, the friendship between Yang Shiqing and Mingxu heated up sharply.The two children were almost inseparable.On a school day, two children go to school together with schoolbags on their backs.During holidays, two children and two mothers gather for afternoon tea and watch family movies.

The days with Yang Shiqing are always happy and unforgettable.Before going to school, Ming Xu and his mother had been living at his grandma's house in the countryside.This is the first time he has seen shopping malls, refreshments, and movie theaters in the city.And Yang Shiqing has long been used to this, on weekends, Yang Shiqing will happily take him to the playground and the Children's Palace in the city center to play.Even Mingxu's first experience of going to an Internet cafe was with Yang Shiqing.On the other hand, when Yang Shiqing taught him to type on a computer, he taught Yang Shiqing to make beautiful clay figurines out of mud and water.Mingxu can make all kinds of clay figurines and paper cranes.Yang Shiqing is attracted by Ming Xu's exquisite gadgets, and Ming Xu is also led into a new and interesting world by Yang Shiqing.

There is an antique computer in Yang Shiqing's home. What the two children like most is to sit in front of the computer and play Lianliankan mini-games together.Later, Mingxu's mother saw that Mingxu was so obsessed with computers, so on Mingxu's birthday, she specially added a brand new desktop computer to the house.And Yang Shiqing also saved a month's worth of pocket money, and gave Mingxu a 16G USB flash drive, which Mingxu had always wanted.

The two children are like polar opposites of black and white. They are attracted to each other and cherish each other. They have developed a deep and pure friendship with each other.Originally thought that such a peaceful and beautiful life could last forever, but unexpectedly, misfortune still befell Mingxu's family.

From some unknown day, Mingxu's father started returning home very late, reeking of alcohol, and sometimes even staying out at night.Several times, Mingxu's father came home too loudly, even waking Mingxu who was sleeping soundly.Mingxu looked fearfully at the living room through the crack of the door, his father was pulling his mother impatiently, and what followed was endless quarrels and confrontations.At that moment, Ming Xu really wanted to run away, Ming Xu didn't want Yang Shiqing to see his father's appearance as a drunkard for the rest of his life.

And this is just the beginning of the nightmare.

That day has come.It was raining lightly that night, and it was already three o'clock in the morning, and my father hadn't come home yet.Mom called the restaurant that Dad usually went to for drinking outside, but the owner of the restaurant said that he didn't come to the store today, and he had already closed.

Mom was so worried that she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, Mingxu looked at her mother and felt very sad.

In the end, mother got up and put on her coat, and decided to go to the place where father worked to find someone, and asked Mingxu to lock the door by herself, don't run around, and go to bed early.

Ming Xu obediently got into the cold blanket, listening to the pattering rain outside the window, mixed with the loud thunder.There was a bang, and Mingxu trembled in fright. Mom went out alone, what if the shoes got wet, or the coat was wet due to the heavy rain?I must have caught a cold.

With such thoughts in mind, Ming Xu trembled with fear, but he was really sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze after lying on the bed for less than half an hour.

When he opened his eyes again, Ming Xu's world had quietly undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ming Xu was awakened by the sound of his mother turning over things.Mingxu saw his mother in the living room from afar, and excitedly ran out of bed with bare feet and shouted for mother.But my mother bit her lip without saying a word, and mechanically rummaged through the drawers.Until she saw Mingxu who was smiling all over her face, she couldn't help it anymore, and hugged Mingxu's weak shoulders and cried loudly.

Mingxu's father learned that he was about to be laid off by the company a month ago, and he was so depressed that he had to get drunk every day and dare not go home to face his wife.But when things developed like this, Mingxu's father was desperate, so he had to go to the doctor in a hurry. Last night, in order to earn extra money, he secretly drove the public truck out to cut the side roads to transport other goods. Unexpectedly, he encountered the perpetrator who drove illegally and was shot face to face. The off-road vehicle that came hit it and rolled over, rolling all the way down the hillside.

Having lost his pillar, the young Ming Xu has not realized that half of the sky in his family has collapsed.
