Reborn as a big boss
Chapter 6
Zhu Qingliang shook back and forth with every slight movement, and the strangled place was very painful. He was really afraid that Zhu Qinghe would let him hang for the whole night, when he suddenly saw Ruan Mu, he quickly called: "Ruan Mu, quickly ask Zhu Qinghe to put me down , I’ll buy you candy.”
Ruan Mu withdrew his gaze and strode forward. When passing him, he said coldly: "You call me a fake foreign devil, why should I help you? Hang on it."
Zhu Qingliang was so anxious that he howled again, and when he stopped howling, he began to curse, whatever was unpleasant.
Ruan Mu stood aside and watched Zhu Qinghe's skillful pancakes. The chopped wild vegetables were mixed with salt and wrapped in the noodles. The bottom of the pot was brushed with oil. He frowned and asked, "Is it delicious? The one outside... you Just hang him on a tree?"
Zhu Qinghe Tengkong glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and said lazily, "Otherwise? On the roof of the bundling house? I've been tired all day and I don't have the strength."
In the past two days, Zhu Qinghe has turned dark again. Although he has not yet grown up, his face has already shown handsome lines, tall and straight, more like Sixteen Seven, the clothes on his body are washed to pieces, and the uppers of a pair of flat shoes There was an opening, and the toes were almost exposed, but he didn't notice it at all, and he was very contented with his life.
The smell in the pot floated outside the house, and Zhu Qingliang's stomach also growled. He wanted to go in and find two coins when Zhu Qinghe was not at home, and then go home to eat when he got it. Who knew that Zhu Qinghe came back so early .He sniffed and kept his head down, pouring out even his internal organs. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the mosquitoes were moaning and screaming in his ears. He couldn't take it anymore and began to beg for mercy.
"Brother, I don't dare anymore. You let me down. I want to go back to eat. I'm very hungry. Mom will be anxious if I don't go back. If someone sees you hanging me on a tree, tell me Parents, they will definitely beat you."
Zhu Qinghe put the cooked cakes in a bowl, re-oiled the pan, put the cakes in, handed the spatula to Ruan Mu, walked to the door and leaned against the door frame: "You can go back and not sue? Same. We are brothers anyway, and I can't bear to see you go astray, so you will have a long memory, even if they ask me to settle accounts, I will be reasonable."
If I go back tomorrow and my parents know that I have done this kind of thing, I will definitely be beaten and scolded. My father never allows them to do embarrassing things, and if they implicate my uncle, I will not forgive them lightly.So he had to go back tonight, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not sue, I promise. I have a headache and nausea again, brother, please let me down."
Zhu Qinghe went back to the house and stuffed his mouth with a cloth to wipe the tables and stools, then shook his head and went back: "I don't know about your tricks? It's so hot, and it's getting cooler at night."
Ruan Mu imitated Zhu Qinghe's movement and flipped over, accidentally poking it to pieces. He really has never done such a down-to-earth job. He only needs to open his mouth at home, and he has never even entered the kitchen.In fact, he also couldn't figure out why Mom would come to this ghostly place. She couldn't see any hope except poverty. After being persuaded by grandpa and grandma for so long, she still insisted on coming.
Zhu Qinghe took back the spatula, flipped it over neatly, and said calmly: "If you are hungry, eat first. I made a pot of porridge in a small pot, so I won't choke. You also start school in September, right? When will you go back? We are poor here, you can't get used to it."
Ruan Mu brought the small pot to the small dining table in the yard, and Zhu Qinghe also brought out the baked cakes. Seeing him standing there, he asked, "What's the matter? Serve the soup, I bought a spoon."
Ruan Mu pursed his lips: "Just one bowl."
Zhu Qinghe squinted his eyes and smiled: "What should I do? You people in the city are very particular. You are precious, you drink first, and I will wait."
Ruan Mu picked up the bowl and was about to bury it in it, and said in a low voice, "I don't mean that, I know that when I go to the countryside, I do as the Romans do."
Zhu Qinghe couldn't care less about talking to him, so he took two big stutters to calm his rambunctious stomach: "Mr. Wang is still going door-to-door to persuade him to go to school these two days?"
Ruan Mu nodded: "Well, the Education Bureau has regulations that allow the schools in Zhujia Village, Wangjia Village and Shangyao Village to be merged together. She went to Wangjia Village today. I heard that the people there are so stubborn that even the village head thinks Going to school is useless, and my mother is also stubborn, so she insists on persuading her."
Zhu Qinghe paused, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard people say that Mr. Wang graduated from Beijing Normal University with very good grades. Why didn't he stay in Beijing? What's there here? It's a pity that it was buried. But if you don't Mr. Wang, I am already moving bricks and carrying mud bags on the construction site. What is it about being a rich man? Even I find it funny. If someone else hears this, won’t they say that I am a toad/toad who wants to eat swan meat? ?”
Ruan Mu's eyes were serious, he didn't like to hear Zhu Qinghe's discouraging words: "I've also seen the gatekeeper become the boss of the company. Brother Qinghe is so smart, he will definitely have a bright future. Let those dog eyes look down on people People, I will show you the door from now on."
Zhu Qinghe smiled. He suddenly remembered that it was one day five years after he went south. He called home, and Zhu's mother said casually that Teacher Wang was dead. In order to save the children who drowned in the reservoir, the leaders of the Education Bureau recognized her very much. I wanted to transfer her back to work, but I didn't expect this to happen.He hates those disobedient children, in fact, he hates those indulgent adults even more. No matter how sad he is, there is nothing he can do. He doesn't even have the money for the bus ticket to go home. All his blood was sucked dry.
Zhu Qinghe fetched water from the Duanpan to wash off the oily hands, thought for a while and said, "It's so long for a lifetime, what's the point of being so far away, Teacher Wang loves you, go back and beg her, maybe she will agree to be with you if she's soft-hearted. gone back."
After Ruan Mu took the last bite, he smiled and said, "The pancakes you baked are quite delicious." He didn't answer Zhu Qinghe's words, and looked at the moon hanging on the top of the tree: "Isn't your home connected to electricity yet?"
Zhu Qinghe said while tidying up: "I met an electrician on the road, and he said that he would install it for me tomorrow. Anyway, I just sleep after eating, and I'm fine a few days later."
Zhu Qingliang felt uncomfortable all over, and was gagged again. As long as he moved the rope, he would shake back and forth, his flesh hurt, and he whimpered and wanted to talk. They were all poisonous mosquitoes, and they were so itchy that he couldn't even scratch them.Watching Zhu Qinghe send him away, but still not letting go of him, the more he thinks about it, the more he hates him. When he returns home, he will definitely want Zhu Qinghe to look good.
The night is long, and I don't know what time it is. Zhu Qingliang always feels like he has been hung for most of the night. When he was so hungry that he was sleepy, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps. As he got closer, he landed firmly on the ground, and his numb nerves were revived.
Zhu Qinghe untied the rope for him, squatted halfway beside him, and smiled coolly: "Do you have a better memory now? I'll let you go this time. If it falls into my hands again, don't blame me for not giving you any favors." complexion."
Zhu Qingliang threw away the rope on his body and limped away, not forgetting to say harsh words: "Zhu Qinghe, you will see me tomorrow."
Zhu Qinghe stood in the yard with his arms folded, his lips curled up watching the figure running away, he wanted to see how his parents would express their anger for their precious son.This day can only be prosperous if there is trouble, and he wished they could turn the world upside down, so that everyone would know what the Zhu family was hiding behind their face.
He originally thought that his father and mother would not come to him. After all, they are both his own sons. When there is an inevitable quarrel, which one will the adults help? Ridiculous, it turned out that he looked up to these people.
Seeing him coming back dirty, Zhu Yutian raised his eyebrows displeased and said, "Why are you bullying Qingliang? You were the one who wanted to come out. Your father gave you the land and the house. What else are you dissatisfied with?" ? Let me tell you, don't think about that family, it has nothing to do with you. "
Zhu Qinghe took off his shoes and knocked on the wall, poured out the gravel inside, and asked with a smile: "So what are you doing here? Since we are two families, don't hide it, just say it .”
Zhu's mother lifted Zhu Qingliang's clothes and said sadly: "Look at the bruises on your brother's body, you were also born in my stomach, I want to favor you, you should do two things that can be seen, How can I protect you like this? Qingliang is four years younger than you, so you can't let him go? I think you're going back as you live."
Zhu Yutian took a puff of the cigarette he held between his fingers, and it was the cheapest cigarette in the shop.In his previous life, he was also addicted to smoking, and he was also addicted to smoking. Later, he became seriously ill and quit.
"Qingliang is ill. I have to take him to see a doctor for an examination. He has been weak since he was born, and he has to be hanged with medicine every year. You spent all the money on Liu Tong. Listen to people Say you found a job and earned a lot of money a day, but you made him look like this, you have to pay for the medicine, right? Dr. Han is a good doctor, there is no disease that he can't cure, but the diagnosis is expensive."
Zhu Qinghe thinks this man is really funny, he has never been seen in serious business, only this kind of crooked way, when it comes to losing points, he is more diligent than anyone else in what he says and does.
"Why don't you ask me why I tied him up? Qingliang, tell me why I tied you?"
Zhu Qingliang met Zhu Qinghe's mocking eyes and dodged for a while, thinking of someone supporting him now, his back stiffened immediately, and he said confidently: "I passed by here when I was going home, and I just looked inside. It’s an old cave dwelling, I’m afraid that my elder brother won’t get used to living in it, and my elder brother might misunderstand that I’m going to do something bad.”
Zhu Yutian squinted at Zhu Qinghe: "Did you hear that? Your brother is kind, and he didn't do anything harmful. Why can't you tolerate him? Even if the family is separated, he still misses you, big brother, how about you? Have the face to suspect that we are not facing you."
Zhu Qinghe nodded, and said with a smile: "He smashed the lock with a stone, and it was my fault for not letting it fall. Anyway, I am also your son, why don't you ask me if I live here well? Have I eaten?" If it wasn’t for Aunt Fuman and Teacher Wang’s help, you wouldn’t care if I died of starvation in this cave, right?”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Ma's face, it was all the flesh that fell from her body. Qinghe didn't live a good life when she was a child, and she looked like she had just returned from hard work in this outfit. She pulled her man's arm , Said softly: "Let's forget it, two brothers fight, our parents don't persuade us but give encouragement, let the people outside see the joke."
Zhu Yutian shook off his wife's arm and said loudly, "Can you compare with Qingliang? Qingliang will have great promise in the future. Your uncle has worked so hard for you to find a good job. If you don't go, you will be killed by Feng Dazhi in the village. My son Feng Jin is overwhelmed, I'm not here today to argue with you, you have to give me an explanation for Qingming's injuries, school will start soon, don't delay his studies."
There was a sneer in Zhu Qinghe's heart, but his voice suddenly softened, with a bit of longing: "Father, how do you know that I will not be successful in the future? I am more sensible than Qingliang, and I help the family. What are you talking to Mom about?" What do I listen to? I also want to study for university entrance exams. Is this wrong? What if I earn money by working part-time in the south? It’s not that I can’t read. I can only make people mention where is where, like carrying a chamber pot. "
Zhu Yutian was full of anger when he talked about this matter. If he vented his anger and made more money, life at home would be easier. At least he knew that someone would share the money for marrying a wife and building a new house with him. With the help of the eldest brother, he can still make some money, but now many people are dissatisfied with their brother's little behavior in private, and the eldest brother dare not go against everyone's wishes if he wants to continue working.It's not good for him to cause trouble for his eldest brother. The whole family has to eat, so they can't just sit still. Originally, they pinned all their hopes on the eldest son, but who knew that this bastard would actually play against him.
"You know what a fart, the sorceress said, you were a disaster in your previous life, and you can only wash away the anger in you by suffering a lot. We are all for your own good, but you accuse us of being parents, do you have a conscience? You come out It doesn't matter if you live here, at least you won't bring troubles to the family. The old Zhu family can count on a bright future, so don't block the good luck of the Zhu family."
Zhu Qinghe clenched his hands into fists and put them on his lips and smiled: "If the witch says I can't stay, is dad going to strangle me to death?"
Zhu Yutian spoke quickly: "That's when..." Then he realized something was wrong, and then coughed: "Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and get the money out, it's this time, and the house hasn't lit the fire yet."
Zhu Qinghe's heart has long been numb. The two people in front of him are his closest relatives. They looked at him tired and slovenly, but they didn't care about him. Instead, they were aggressive and wanted to tear him apart. They didn't see clearly behind the phone back then. His face, vividly before his eyes at this moment, was so disgusting and nauseating.
"Father only has plans for Qingliang, what about me? If I go to Jiangnan, what should I do if I want to talk to someone who wants to get married and buy a house?"
Impatientness appeared on Zhu Yutian's face: "What are you talking about? You are older than your brother, and you can make money. I have to worry about marrying a wife and buying a house? I don't expect to be in your favor, and neither do you." If you want to come back to trouble us, this matter is settled, and we will have less contact in the future. Doctor Han will give me five yuan for the consultation and prescription of medicine."
The dust on Zhu Qinghe’s body looked like it had come down from the brick kiln. He was young, so the brick kiln would definitely not want to accept him. Maybe Luo Wangwang wanted to keep him for the sake of his elder brother. It would be nice if he could give him two or three yuan. I heard that I have been there for three or four days.Zhu Yutian wasn't greedy either, as long as he gave himself two days' money, it would be better for such worthless people to have less contact in the future, so as not to get angry.If he knew that Qinghe earned the same price as the adults in a day, he would have fewer regrets.
Zhu Qinghe laughed, this is really his own father, he didn't even think about it, he just opened his mouth, the anger in his previous life was still accumulated in his heart, and now he bumped into it again, he didn't give them face, angry Said: "Father's calculation is really good. I pay all the money I earn outside, help Qingliang pay tuition, build a house, marry a wife, and when I get married, I have to arrange everything by myself. I am exhausted and exhausted. I have nothing to do with you. Dad, you are not the only smart person in this world. Everyone else is a fool. Fortunately, I didn’t go out. If I was kept in the dark and made wedding clothes for others all my life, I would get slapped when I died. Smash yourself."
Facing the old face that was about to burst into anger, Zhu Qinghe continued: "I did this to a thief who wanted to break open the door and steal something. There is nothing wrong with him. If he doesn't learn well, he is a thief who steals. What's wrong with him changing? Is it possible that Dad really wants to wait until the whole village knows that his hands and feet are not clean?"
Zhu Yutian attaches great importance to his youngest son. In his heart, his youngest son will be able to earn a lot of money and become a high-ranking official in the future. He has good character and knowledge, so how could he do such sneaky things?It must be Zhu Qing and this kid talking nonsense and slandering him, so he didn't give him a good face immediately, opened his eyes wide, and roared in a rough voice: "I have long eyes, a good person, and my whole body is bruised, it's all caused by you. If you don’t pay, who will pay? Be quick, don’t delay.”
Just as Zhu Qinghe was about to say something, he heard a voice from outside the yard, it was an electrician in the village: "Zhu Yutian, it's your fault, and you didn't see it, how can you recklessly wrong people?"
Ruan Mu came in behind the electrician. He stood quietly on the side without saying anything, only his clear and calm eyes were fixed on Zhu Qinghe, and his brows became more and more furrowed as he looked at him.The knuckles of Zhu Qinghe's arm that was holding his arm turned white because of the hard squeeze, and his body was tense. He must be feeling very uncomfortable, so he could only hold on tightly.
Zhu Yutian also didn't want to be seen by outsiders. It's a matter of course for me to ask my son for money, but the boss is a little younger, and if it is spread out, it will definitely make people laugh. This face can't be put down: "I didn't see it, maybe you saw it?" Is it? This is our family's business, don't worry about it, it will hurt the peace."
The electrician put down the coil on his arm, and said solemnly: "I said Zhu Yutian, when will you change your temper? Who is good and who is bad, it all depends on you? The stinky virtue that was beaten to death, the Qinghe good boy, how can I feel sorry for you two? Are you going to torment him like this? Don't show your face here. I passed by the door yesterday and saw it. Your house is Qingliang. I didn't think so much about the stone hitting the lock, I didn't expect your kid to have that kind of thought."
Zhu Qingliang suddenly became flustered. He obviously saw that no one around him did it, so why was he discovered? The suspicion in his father's eyes made him tremble with fear, and he yelled, "Uncle, you can't make false accusations." Man, I didn't do that, I don't admit it."
The electrician smiled: "It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not. I can't understand your kid's thoughts? You know better than anyone else what it is like. Let's put it another way, Zhu Yutian and Qinghe are only 14 years old. You kicked him out and said nothing, you don't care if he is full to eat, but he ran to the door to find someone's child for money, how can you bear this face? I blush for you. "
What Zhu Yutian is most afraid of is being poked in the back and making jokes, but otherwise, he blamed Zhu Qinghe for all the crimes, and said coldly: "He is my son, and it is his duty to respect his father. I gave birth to him I have wasted so much food for so many years, shouldn't I pay it back? Don't be a good person and meddle in other people's family affairs."
The electrician bent down to pick up the coil, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, let others judge and see if it's you, the bastard who is the father, or this kid is bad."
Zhu Yutian's complexion changed instantly, he gave Zhu Qinghe a hard look, he stood up and cursed badly, and left, Zhu Qingliang followed, only Zhu's mother looked at Zhu Qinghe, moved her mouth and said nothing , quickly chased after him.
Ruan Mu glanced at the person who left, and said leisurely: "Why is this person so bad? I didn't realize it before."
The electrician patted Zhu Qinghe's shoulder, and when he heard Ruan Mu's question, he smiled: "Everyone is like this, who doesn't want to look good on the outside, and as for what's inside, who's full enough to look through it? You guys You are still young, and you will understand when you grow up. Qinghe is now the head of the family, so you have to straighten your back. If they bully you once, they will bully you a second time. Don't be afraid, the two eyes of the villagers see You have to understand that as long as they want to stay in this village, they have to take care of them."
Zhu Qinghe remembered that the electrician and his wife had a very good relationship, but his wife was a bit of a talker, and she would yell all over the street when she heard any disturbance. It seemed that it would not take long before half the village knew about it.His original plan was to just spread the story. If there is a lot of spread, people will know the truth after careful consideration. Who would have known that God helped him, and Zhu Qingliang's good deeds were actually bumped into by people. , it seems that their life should be difficult these days.
Connecting electricity is a familiar job for an electrician, and it will be over in a short time. Zhu Qinghe bought a light bulb and installed it. Although the sky is still bright, it emits a dim yellow light, illuminating the coldness in his heart. Blinking, a childish smile appeared on his face.The days he supported himself, this is the real rebirth.
Even if father said such ugly words, he would not take them to heart. In the future, he will stand on the highest place and let these people look up to him. At that time, he will not show any kindness.
Zhu Qinghe sent the electrician away, and then started to cook. He was happy today, and said to Ruan Mu: "Tomorrow I will buy some pork, and we will make a good meal. The weather is not bearable. Otherwise, when will it be saved?" It’s been too long, I’ll chop stuffing and make dumplings to eat. After so many years, I’ve forgotten what it tastes like.”
Ruan Mu just felt very sad: "Didn't your family make a bag during the festival?"
"Anyway, you're going back soon, so don't worry about eating my dumplings. If you cook, your stomach will go hungry."
Why not?It’s just that there are so many people and so little meat, who can afford white noodles?That is to say, just pack a few meanings, just taste it, and it is a luxury to want to eat a full stomach.The Zhu family honored grandparents first, then Qingliang, the most promising child in the eyes of the sorceress, Zhu Qing and the least likable child, they could only eat two to satisfy their cravings.In fact, he has been living like a person at home, and he doesn't know why he didn't care so much at the beginning.
It’s only now that I realize that it’s because at that time he didn’t have much hope and longing for the future, and he lived his life in a normal way like flowing water, but he didn’t expect that it was these normal days that made him know what despair is , and smashed everything about him.
Now he is like a primary school student, starting to learn to plan for himself, taking every step steadily, and finally climbing to that peak.
Zhu Qinghe turned around with a smile and went to clean up the chopping board. He made noodle soup today, adjusted the meals, and repaired the windows. He should be able to sleep soundly this night.In fact, he has no idea. School will start soon, and he will run out of food. Although the money is valuable now, it cannot be spent for a lifetime. At that time, he will have to think of other ways.
After dinner was ready, Ruan Mu saw that he was absent-minded, and grabbed a handful of chocolates from his trouser pocket. It was too hot to tear and melted.Zhu Qinghe took it and took a sip, his face changed slightly: "I can't get used to this, I was born poor, you can eat it yourself."
He has never had a chance to taste chocolate in his life. He has been outside for 20 years. The times are changing rapidly. Young people who enter the construction site late want to pay their girlfriends for Valentine’s Day, so they give this chocolate, saying it is romantic, but he does not understand it. What kind of feeling, because he is only interested in men, this kind of feeling can only be hidden underground, it is ugly and unforgivable in the eyes of most people, so he hides it very well, everyone treats him as innocent In private, he would even discuss whether he was inhumane, but he didn't say anything when he heard it.
In fact, he was in a relationship once. He was sneaky and sneaky. He didn't tell anyone about it until his death. Later, that person met a rich woman, wore a suit and drove a luxury car, and lived a very happy life.When they separated, he felt that he had nothing to lose. After all, in the long days of loneliness, someone finally filled the gap, making him feel happy, and no matter what he did, he felt very energetic.
But that person is younger than him, and he prefers real things, luxury and wealth, to this kind of unacceptable feelings, so he doesn't blame him, but sometimes he feels sorry when he thinks about it. The only period of sunshine and joy in his gloomy life.
When Ruan Mu saw him, he was happy and sometimes worried, his brows were tightly frowned, and he felt unhappy for a while. After finishing his meal quickly, he put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I can't eat your food for free. I'll bring you something tomorrow."
Zhu Qinghe stood up slowly and wanted to see him off. When he chased the kid out of the yard, he was already far away. He thought that this place was too remote, and it was not reassuring for a ten-year-old child to walk alone at night, so he turned and locked the door , trotting to catch up, and seeing the man in plaid short-sleeved shorts enter the house, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.I have to tell him tomorrow, I'd better not come back so late in the future, he is the baby bump in Teacher Wang's heart, if something happens, I really can't figure it out.
When Ruan Mu returned home, he ran to the next room after talking to Teacher Wang, and poured out the ham and candy from his schoolbag. He also looked down on these things, but Zhu Qinghe had never eaten them. , would certainly be rare.Just gathered into a pile, when he heard Mr. Wang calling his name, he hurried over.
It was rare for Mr. Wang not to write any more lesson plans. After he sat down, he said, "Your father's letter was urging you to go back to Beijing. I forgot about it because I had too many things to do. School will start soon. Going back to school is a serious matter. You have also seen how difficult it is for a child in this village to continue studying. You are blessed, the old people of the two families dote on you and spoil you. It hurts to watch, but there's nothing I can do."
"Mom, can't we just take him to our house?" Ruan Mu's eyes were still calm, as if there were few things in this world that could make him have huge emotional ups and downs.
Teacher Wang smiled and shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. I don't agree with Qinghe Dan. He is temporarily angry and thinks that he can live well by himself. After a long time, he will regret it. No child You can live without your parents, and no parent can really leave their children behind. I want to wait for them to calm down before going to persuade them. Wouldn’t everyone be happy if they can reconcile?”
Ruan Mu pouted, raised his head to look at the worms circling under the light bulb, and said disgustedly: "Mom, don't do bad things with good intentions. Brother Qinghe and his parents came to ask him for money today, saying that his brother's injury was caused by him. If you do it, you have to pay. In fact, Zhu Qingliang's hands and feet are not clean. Hearing that Brother Qinghe has made money, he wants to break the lock to steal the money, but unfortunately someone finds out, and he even sued the wicked first."
Teacher Wang looked at his son in disbelief: "Although Zhu Qingliang is not as smart as his elder brother, he is also a good brain. Fortunately, he is young. As long as he is patient and guides him to the right path, he will definitely get better. Next semester, he must do a good job. Grasp the ideological and moral classes. These children are used to the discipline of sheep-herding. The adults are busy and have no time to worry about it. If they are not careful, they will grow crooked. A good seedling will be broken if it does so."
After Teacher Wang finished speaking, he felt that he had strayed from the topic, and smiled: "Okay, let's talk about your business, I know I divorced your father, you are very unhappy, it is my mother's fault, so stubborn hurt you. But child, once some things break into your bottom line, they are completely unforgivable. There is no room for sand in your eyes. Mom is such a person. Don't take these things to heart. It's not worth it. You should look farther , study hard, and then be the kind of person you want to be. Everything you have is better than the children here, so you should cherish it, instead of playing a child and getting angry."
A rare childish smile appeared on Ruan Mu's beautiful face, but he spoke with firmness: "I want to be by your side, and I won't go anywhere. Will I learn from you in the future? I know that my mother is so good, she must be better than you." The teachers in our school are amazing. I can skip to junior high school, and if I don’t believe it, my mother can give me test questions.”
Mrs. Wang said, dumbfounded: "What are you kidding? This place is different from Beijing. It's not as simple as you think. I don't agree, and your dad won't agree. He will send someone to pick you up in a few days, good boy. Be obedient, and mother will go back to accompany you after the Chinese New Year."
Ruan Mu looked at her deeply, but finally refused: "You lied to me, you haven't been back for the New Year for two years, and grandpa and grandma miss you so much, but you don't take it seriously. From now on, I will be with you, I don't want to be alone I'm dead, and I don't want to see my father bowing his head and smoking a cigarette."
He has a kind of calmness and indifference that is not like a child. Even Teacher Wang can't understand what is wrong with this child. He seems to have seen everything through. Her excuses have become pale and powerless in front of him.She was a little afraid of this feeling, and she was afraid that when she had to leave here to face all the complicated things, she gritted her teeth and objected: "No, you have to go back, I don't care what you think, there is nothing more important than learning in this world If you don't leave, I will let the uncle who comes to pick you up take you away."
Ruan Mu didn't speak any more. The conversation between the mother and son reached a stalemate for the first time. Teacher Wang stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed. Xiao Mu, Mom hopes you can understand, I always want to Give you the best, you don't have to bear the pain I have suffered. I am a selfish mother, and I don't want to see you have a bad life, so go back. Your father will take good care of you. "
That night, Teacher Wang slept very restlessly, while Ruan Mu beside him slept soundly and heartlessly. Hearing his regular breathing, Teacher Wang couldn't help but say in his heart, he is really a child who knows nothing about sorrow. .She turned over, had to go to sleep, and would continue to run around the village tomorrow.
But he didn't know that Ruan Mu opened his eyes at this time, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, tears in the corner of his eyes, he moved his mouth, but still swallowed it.
What the Zhu family didn't expect was that in just one night and one morning, they became the object of people's jokes, especially the boss Zhu, who was even more miserable.
With a cigarette in his hand, he stood on the ground and looked at the farmer. Not far away was an acre of land that had been allocated. Inside, who knew it would be cheaper for that bastard.Then he sighed, fumbled for a cigarette from his pocket, and pointed at the still-lit red seedling. Someone patted him on the shoulder. He shook, and a good cigarette fell to the ground. He hurriedly felt distressed. He picked it up, blew it, and glared at the person who came: "Did the ghost change? Walking silently? If you have something to say, hurry up, don't delay my smoking."
"Boss Zhu, I heard people say that you went to the eldest son's house to ask him for money? Are you really able to get the money for a child as old as him? Are you scolding yourself? Big pagoda tree There is a circle of people sitting below, all talking about your family, I see that your elder brother will inevitably scold you." He didn't have the nerve to say that Zhu Qingliang's hands and feet were not clean in front of him, Zhu Boss has a bad temper, can you please Don't mess with me.
Sure enough, on the way back, there were inevitably those who couldn’t wait to look for trouble, and were glared at by Boss Zhu before restraining themselves a little bit, and those who were not afraid of lighting firecrackers, walked up and gloated and asked questions, but naturally they were scolded by Zhu Yutian It said, "You were born in the wrong birth and should be turned into a woman, otherwise you just talk too much. Talk nonsense about other people's affairs, be careful to rot your tongue."
Back home, the eldest brother was sitting with his father under the tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air. The child's mother shrank her neck and didn't say anything. She just raised her head and looked at him with a wink.
Zhu Yuliang rolled his eyes at him angrily, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word because of his complaints.Or the old man couldn't resist standing up and poking him in the brain with a pipe filled with tobacco: "Did you forget what I said at the beginning? I said that from now on, that child has nothing to do with our Zhu family. What are you still doing? Our Zhu family has been a well-known decent person in this Zhu family village for generations, but now you have been ruined by this mouse shit, are you proud? Can you use your brain before doing things? Zhu Qinghe is only fourteen, you go find it A child asked for money, and your brain was kicked by a donkey?"
The old man had just finished speaking, when he saw Zhu Qingliang who was quietly watching from behind the door, he said in a deep voice: "You are not a good person, get out of here, why are you taking care of the old house? The summer homework assigned by your teacher , I see that you didn't even move, school is about to start, what do you think about all day long? Zhu Qingliang, if you dare to let me not focus on business, you see how I will deal with you, I am an old man It's okay, but it's easy to beat you little bastard."
Zhu Yuliang sighed, and then said: "Father, you don't know, this Qingliang doesn't have a good reputation outside now. It's said that he throws stones at people's locks, and everyone in the village thinks he's a thief. It's a joke that we have no vision, treat rubble as treasure, and throw real gold bumps into the soil. Qingliang, tell me, where did you go and what did you do? I heard that you admitted that you wanted to steal Zhu Qinghe's money? This time, I really can't clean you up by throwing you into the sea. The people outside don't know what's going on, and they all turn towards Zhu Qinghe."
The old man was so angry that he coughed, and when he calmed down, he said: "Those people are greedy for a promising person in our family. Back then, there were many children who asked the sorceress to tell their fortunes, but they just picked Qingming from our family and said He is a very intelligent person, and even God protects him. Those people just don’t feel at peace, and they talk nonsense just by picking up some windy words. Don’t follow me. But this is the last time I warn you, don’t talk to him again. Be careful not to be harmed by his bad luck."
Zhu Yuliang and Zhu Yutian quickly nodded in agreement, and when the old man returned, Zhu Yuliang said with a cold face: "
Ruan Mu withdrew his gaze and strode forward. When passing him, he said coldly: "You call me a fake foreign devil, why should I help you? Hang on it."
Zhu Qingliang was so anxious that he howled again, and when he stopped howling, he began to curse, whatever was unpleasant.
Ruan Mu stood aside and watched Zhu Qinghe's skillful pancakes. The chopped wild vegetables were mixed with salt and wrapped in the noodles. The bottom of the pot was brushed with oil. He frowned and asked, "Is it delicious? The one outside... you Just hang him on a tree?"
Zhu Qinghe Tengkong glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and said lazily, "Otherwise? On the roof of the bundling house? I've been tired all day and I don't have the strength."
In the past two days, Zhu Qinghe has turned dark again. Although he has not yet grown up, his face has already shown handsome lines, tall and straight, more like Sixteen Seven, the clothes on his body are washed to pieces, and the uppers of a pair of flat shoes There was an opening, and the toes were almost exposed, but he didn't notice it at all, and he was very contented with his life.
The smell in the pot floated outside the house, and Zhu Qingliang's stomach also growled. He wanted to go in and find two coins when Zhu Qinghe was not at home, and then go home to eat when he got it. Who knew that Zhu Qinghe came back so early .He sniffed and kept his head down, pouring out even his internal organs. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the mosquitoes were moaning and screaming in his ears. He couldn't take it anymore and began to beg for mercy.
"Brother, I don't dare anymore. You let me down. I want to go back to eat. I'm very hungry. Mom will be anxious if I don't go back. If someone sees you hanging me on a tree, tell me Parents, they will definitely beat you."
Zhu Qinghe put the cooked cakes in a bowl, re-oiled the pan, put the cakes in, handed the spatula to Ruan Mu, walked to the door and leaned against the door frame: "You can go back and not sue? Same. We are brothers anyway, and I can't bear to see you go astray, so you will have a long memory, even if they ask me to settle accounts, I will be reasonable."
If I go back tomorrow and my parents know that I have done this kind of thing, I will definitely be beaten and scolded. My father never allows them to do embarrassing things, and if they implicate my uncle, I will not forgive them lightly.So he had to go back tonight, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not sue, I promise. I have a headache and nausea again, brother, please let me down."
Zhu Qinghe went back to the house and stuffed his mouth with a cloth to wipe the tables and stools, then shook his head and went back: "I don't know about your tricks? It's so hot, and it's getting cooler at night."
Ruan Mu imitated Zhu Qinghe's movement and flipped over, accidentally poking it to pieces. He really has never done such a down-to-earth job. He only needs to open his mouth at home, and he has never even entered the kitchen.In fact, he also couldn't figure out why Mom would come to this ghostly place. She couldn't see any hope except poverty. After being persuaded by grandpa and grandma for so long, she still insisted on coming.
Zhu Qinghe took back the spatula, flipped it over neatly, and said calmly: "If you are hungry, eat first. I made a pot of porridge in a small pot, so I won't choke. You also start school in September, right? When will you go back? We are poor here, you can't get used to it."
Ruan Mu brought the small pot to the small dining table in the yard, and Zhu Qinghe also brought out the baked cakes. Seeing him standing there, he asked, "What's the matter? Serve the soup, I bought a spoon."
Ruan Mu pursed his lips: "Just one bowl."
Zhu Qinghe squinted his eyes and smiled: "What should I do? You people in the city are very particular. You are precious, you drink first, and I will wait."
Ruan Mu picked up the bowl and was about to bury it in it, and said in a low voice, "I don't mean that, I know that when I go to the countryside, I do as the Romans do."
Zhu Qinghe couldn't care less about talking to him, so he took two big stutters to calm his rambunctious stomach: "Mr. Wang is still going door-to-door to persuade him to go to school these two days?"
Ruan Mu nodded: "Well, the Education Bureau has regulations that allow the schools in Zhujia Village, Wangjia Village and Shangyao Village to be merged together. She went to Wangjia Village today. I heard that the people there are so stubborn that even the village head thinks Going to school is useless, and my mother is also stubborn, so she insists on persuading her."
Zhu Qinghe paused, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard people say that Mr. Wang graduated from Beijing Normal University with very good grades. Why didn't he stay in Beijing? What's there here? It's a pity that it was buried. But if you don't Mr. Wang, I am already moving bricks and carrying mud bags on the construction site. What is it about being a rich man? Even I find it funny. If someone else hears this, won’t they say that I am a toad/toad who wants to eat swan meat? ?”
Ruan Mu's eyes were serious, he didn't like to hear Zhu Qinghe's discouraging words: "I've also seen the gatekeeper become the boss of the company. Brother Qinghe is so smart, he will definitely have a bright future. Let those dog eyes look down on people People, I will show you the door from now on."
Zhu Qinghe smiled. He suddenly remembered that it was one day five years after he went south. He called home, and Zhu's mother said casually that Teacher Wang was dead. In order to save the children who drowned in the reservoir, the leaders of the Education Bureau recognized her very much. I wanted to transfer her back to work, but I didn't expect this to happen.He hates those disobedient children, in fact, he hates those indulgent adults even more. No matter how sad he is, there is nothing he can do. He doesn't even have the money for the bus ticket to go home. All his blood was sucked dry.
Zhu Qinghe fetched water from the Duanpan to wash off the oily hands, thought for a while and said, "It's so long for a lifetime, what's the point of being so far away, Teacher Wang loves you, go back and beg her, maybe she will agree to be with you if she's soft-hearted. gone back."
After Ruan Mu took the last bite, he smiled and said, "The pancakes you baked are quite delicious." He didn't answer Zhu Qinghe's words, and looked at the moon hanging on the top of the tree: "Isn't your home connected to electricity yet?"
Zhu Qinghe said while tidying up: "I met an electrician on the road, and he said that he would install it for me tomorrow. Anyway, I just sleep after eating, and I'm fine a few days later."
Zhu Qingliang felt uncomfortable all over, and was gagged again. As long as he moved the rope, he would shake back and forth, his flesh hurt, and he whimpered and wanted to talk. They were all poisonous mosquitoes, and they were so itchy that he couldn't even scratch them.Watching Zhu Qinghe send him away, but still not letting go of him, the more he thinks about it, the more he hates him. When he returns home, he will definitely want Zhu Qinghe to look good.
The night is long, and I don't know what time it is. Zhu Qingliang always feels like he has been hung for most of the night. When he was so hungry that he was sleepy, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps. As he got closer, he landed firmly on the ground, and his numb nerves were revived.
Zhu Qinghe untied the rope for him, squatted halfway beside him, and smiled coolly: "Do you have a better memory now? I'll let you go this time. If it falls into my hands again, don't blame me for not giving you any favors." complexion."
Zhu Qingliang threw away the rope on his body and limped away, not forgetting to say harsh words: "Zhu Qinghe, you will see me tomorrow."
Zhu Qinghe stood in the yard with his arms folded, his lips curled up watching the figure running away, he wanted to see how his parents would express their anger for their precious son.This day can only be prosperous if there is trouble, and he wished they could turn the world upside down, so that everyone would know what the Zhu family was hiding behind their face.
He originally thought that his father and mother would not come to him. After all, they are both his own sons. When there is an inevitable quarrel, which one will the adults help? Ridiculous, it turned out that he looked up to these people.
Seeing him coming back dirty, Zhu Yutian raised his eyebrows displeased and said, "Why are you bullying Qingliang? You were the one who wanted to come out. Your father gave you the land and the house. What else are you dissatisfied with?" ? Let me tell you, don't think about that family, it has nothing to do with you. "
Zhu Qinghe took off his shoes and knocked on the wall, poured out the gravel inside, and asked with a smile: "So what are you doing here? Since we are two families, don't hide it, just say it .”
Zhu's mother lifted Zhu Qingliang's clothes and said sadly: "Look at the bruises on your brother's body, you were also born in my stomach, I want to favor you, you should do two things that can be seen, How can I protect you like this? Qingliang is four years younger than you, so you can't let him go? I think you're going back as you live."
Zhu Yutian took a puff of the cigarette he held between his fingers, and it was the cheapest cigarette in the shop.In his previous life, he was also addicted to smoking, and he was also addicted to smoking. Later, he became seriously ill and quit.
"Qingliang is ill. I have to take him to see a doctor for an examination. He has been weak since he was born, and he has to be hanged with medicine every year. You spent all the money on Liu Tong. Listen to people Say you found a job and earned a lot of money a day, but you made him look like this, you have to pay for the medicine, right? Dr. Han is a good doctor, there is no disease that he can't cure, but the diagnosis is expensive."
Zhu Qinghe thinks this man is really funny, he has never been seen in serious business, only this kind of crooked way, when it comes to losing points, he is more diligent than anyone else in what he says and does.
"Why don't you ask me why I tied him up? Qingliang, tell me why I tied you?"
Zhu Qingliang met Zhu Qinghe's mocking eyes and dodged for a while, thinking of someone supporting him now, his back stiffened immediately, and he said confidently: "I passed by here when I was going home, and I just looked inside. It’s an old cave dwelling, I’m afraid that my elder brother won’t get used to living in it, and my elder brother might misunderstand that I’m going to do something bad.”
Zhu Yutian squinted at Zhu Qinghe: "Did you hear that? Your brother is kind, and he didn't do anything harmful. Why can't you tolerate him? Even if the family is separated, he still misses you, big brother, how about you? Have the face to suspect that we are not facing you."
Zhu Qinghe nodded, and said with a smile: "He smashed the lock with a stone, and it was my fault for not letting it fall. Anyway, I am also your son, why don't you ask me if I live here well? Have I eaten?" If it wasn’t for Aunt Fuman and Teacher Wang’s help, you wouldn’t care if I died of starvation in this cave, right?”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Ma's face, it was all the flesh that fell from her body. Qinghe didn't live a good life when she was a child, and she looked like she had just returned from hard work in this outfit. She pulled her man's arm , Said softly: "Let's forget it, two brothers fight, our parents don't persuade us but give encouragement, let the people outside see the joke."
Zhu Yutian shook off his wife's arm and said loudly, "Can you compare with Qingliang? Qingliang will have great promise in the future. Your uncle has worked so hard for you to find a good job. If you don't go, you will be killed by Feng Dazhi in the village. My son Feng Jin is overwhelmed, I'm not here today to argue with you, you have to give me an explanation for Qingming's injuries, school will start soon, don't delay his studies."
There was a sneer in Zhu Qinghe's heart, but his voice suddenly softened, with a bit of longing: "Father, how do you know that I will not be successful in the future? I am more sensible than Qingliang, and I help the family. What are you talking to Mom about?" What do I listen to? I also want to study for university entrance exams. Is this wrong? What if I earn money by working part-time in the south? It’s not that I can’t read. I can only make people mention where is where, like carrying a chamber pot. "
Zhu Yutian was full of anger when he talked about this matter. If he vented his anger and made more money, life at home would be easier. At least he knew that someone would share the money for marrying a wife and building a new house with him. With the help of the eldest brother, he can still make some money, but now many people are dissatisfied with their brother's little behavior in private, and the eldest brother dare not go against everyone's wishes if he wants to continue working.It's not good for him to cause trouble for his eldest brother. The whole family has to eat, so they can't just sit still. Originally, they pinned all their hopes on the eldest son, but who knew that this bastard would actually play against him.
"You know what a fart, the sorceress said, you were a disaster in your previous life, and you can only wash away the anger in you by suffering a lot. We are all for your own good, but you accuse us of being parents, do you have a conscience? You come out It doesn't matter if you live here, at least you won't bring troubles to the family. The old Zhu family can count on a bright future, so don't block the good luck of the Zhu family."
Zhu Qinghe clenched his hands into fists and put them on his lips and smiled: "If the witch says I can't stay, is dad going to strangle me to death?"
Zhu Yutian spoke quickly: "That's when..." Then he realized something was wrong, and then coughed: "Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and get the money out, it's this time, and the house hasn't lit the fire yet."
Zhu Qinghe's heart has long been numb. The two people in front of him are his closest relatives. They looked at him tired and slovenly, but they didn't care about him. Instead, they were aggressive and wanted to tear him apart. They didn't see clearly behind the phone back then. His face, vividly before his eyes at this moment, was so disgusting and nauseating.
"Father only has plans for Qingliang, what about me? If I go to Jiangnan, what should I do if I want to talk to someone who wants to get married and buy a house?"
Impatientness appeared on Zhu Yutian's face: "What are you talking about? You are older than your brother, and you can make money. I have to worry about marrying a wife and buying a house? I don't expect to be in your favor, and neither do you." If you want to come back to trouble us, this matter is settled, and we will have less contact in the future. Doctor Han will give me five yuan for the consultation and prescription of medicine."
The dust on Zhu Qinghe’s body looked like it had come down from the brick kiln. He was young, so the brick kiln would definitely not want to accept him. Maybe Luo Wangwang wanted to keep him for the sake of his elder brother. It would be nice if he could give him two or three yuan. I heard that I have been there for three or four days.Zhu Yutian wasn't greedy either, as long as he gave himself two days' money, it would be better for such worthless people to have less contact in the future, so as not to get angry.If he knew that Qinghe earned the same price as the adults in a day, he would have fewer regrets.
Zhu Qinghe laughed, this is really his own father, he didn't even think about it, he just opened his mouth, the anger in his previous life was still accumulated in his heart, and now he bumped into it again, he didn't give them face, angry Said: "Father's calculation is really good. I pay all the money I earn outside, help Qingliang pay tuition, build a house, marry a wife, and when I get married, I have to arrange everything by myself. I am exhausted and exhausted. I have nothing to do with you. Dad, you are not the only smart person in this world. Everyone else is a fool. Fortunately, I didn’t go out. If I was kept in the dark and made wedding clothes for others all my life, I would get slapped when I died. Smash yourself."
Facing the old face that was about to burst into anger, Zhu Qinghe continued: "I did this to a thief who wanted to break open the door and steal something. There is nothing wrong with him. If he doesn't learn well, he is a thief who steals. What's wrong with him changing? Is it possible that Dad really wants to wait until the whole village knows that his hands and feet are not clean?"
Zhu Yutian attaches great importance to his youngest son. In his heart, his youngest son will be able to earn a lot of money and become a high-ranking official in the future. He has good character and knowledge, so how could he do such sneaky things?It must be Zhu Qing and this kid talking nonsense and slandering him, so he didn't give him a good face immediately, opened his eyes wide, and roared in a rough voice: "I have long eyes, a good person, and my whole body is bruised, it's all caused by you. If you don’t pay, who will pay? Be quick, don’t delay.”
Just as Zhu Qinghe was about to say something, he heard a voice from outside the yard, it was an electrician in the village: "Zhu Yutian, it's your fault, and you didn't see it, how can you recklessly wrong people?"
Ruan Mu came in behind the electrician. He stood quietly on the side without saying anything, only his clear and calm eyes were fixed on Zhu Qinghe, and his brows became more and more furrowed as he looked at him.The knuckles of Zhu Qinghe's arm that was holding his arm turned white because of the hard squeeze, and his body was tense. He must be feeling very uncomfortable, so he could only hold on tightly.
Zhu Yutian also didn't want to be seen by outsiders. It's a matter of course for me to ask my son for money, but the boss is a little younger, and if it is spread out, it will definitely make people laugh. This face can't be put down: "I didn't see it, maybe you saw it?" Is it? This is our family's business, don't worry about it, it will hurt the peace."
The electrician put down the coil on his arm, and said solemnly: "I said Zhu Yutian, when will you change your temper? Who is good and who is bad, it all depends on you? The stinky virtue that was beaten to death, the Qinghe good boy, how can I feel sorry for you two? Are you going to torment him like this? Don't show your face here. I passed by the door yesterday and saw it. Your house is Qingliang. I didn't think so much about the stone hitting the lock, I didn't expect your kid to have that kind of thought."
Zhu Qingliang suddenly became flustered. He obviously saw that no one around him did it, so why was he discovered? The suspicion in his father's eyes made him tremble with fear, and he yelled, "Uncle, you can't make false accusations." Man, I didn't do that, I don't admit it."
The electrician smiled: "It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not. I can't understand your kid's thoughts? You know better than anyone else what it is like. Let's put it another way, Zhu Yutian and Qinghe are only 14 years old. You kicked him out and said nothing, you don't care if he is full to eat, but he ran to the door to find someone's child for money, how can you bear this face? I blush for you. "
What Zhu Yutian is most afraid of is being poked in the back and making jokes, but otherwise, he blamed Zhu Qinghe for all the crimes, and said coldly: "He is my son, and it is his duty to respect his father. I gave birth to him I have wasted so much food for so many years, shouldn't I pay it back? Don't be a good person and meddle in other people's family affairs."
The electrician bent down to pick up the coil, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, let others judge and see if it's you, the bastard who is the father, or this kid is bad."
Zhu Yutian's complexion changed instantly, he gave Zhu Qinghe a hard look, he stood up and cursed badly, and left, Zhu Qingliang followed, only Zhu's mother looked at Zhu Qinghe, moved her mouth and said nothing , quickly chased after him.
Ruan Mu glanced at the person who left, and said leisurely: "Why is this person so bad? I didn't realize it before."
The electrician patted Zhu Qinghe's shoulder, and when he heard Ruan Mu's question, he smiled: "Everyone is like this, who doesn't want to look good on the outside, and as for what's inside, who's full enough to look through it? You guys You are still young, and you will understand when you grow up. Qinghe is now the head of the family, so you have to straighten your back. If they bully you once, they will bully you a second time. Don't be afraid, the two eyes of the villagers see You have to understand that as long as they want to stay in this village, they have to take care of them."
Zhu Qinghe remembered that the electrician and his wife had a very good relationship, but his wife was a bit of a talker, and she would yell all over the street when she heard any disturbance. It seemed that it would not take long before half the village knew about it.His original plan was to just spread the story. If there is a lot of spread, people will know the truth after careful consideration. Who would have known that God helped him, and Zhu Qingliang's good deeds were actually bumped into by people. , it seems that their life should be difficult these days.
Connecting electricity is a familiar job for an electrician, and it will be over in a short time. Zhu Qinghe bought a light bulb and installed it. Although the sky is still bright, it emits a dim yellow light, illuminating the coldness in his heart. Blinking, a childish smile appeared on his face.The days he supported himself, this is the real rebirth.
Even if father said such ugly words, he would not take them to heart. In the future, he will stand on the highest place and let these people look up to him. At that time, he will not show any kindness.
Zhu Qinghe sent the electrician away, and then started to cook. He was happy today, and said to Ruan Mu: "Tomorrow I will buy some pork, and we will make a good meal. The weather is not bearable. Otherwise, when will it be saved?" It’s been too long, I’ll chop stuffing and make dumplings to eat. After so many years, I’ve forgotten what it tastes like.”
Ruan Mu just felt very sad: "Didn't your family make a bag during the festival?"
"Anyway, you're going back soon, so don't worry about eating my dumplings. If you cook, your stomach will go hungry."
Why not?It’s just that there are so many people and so little meat, who can afford white noodles?That is to say, just pack a few meanings, just taste it, and it is a luxury to want to eat a full stomach.The Zhu family honored grandparents first, then Qingliang, the most promising child in the eyes of the sorceress, Zhu Qing and the least likable child, they could only eat two to satisfy their cravings.In fact, he has been living like a person at home, and he doesn't know why he didn't care so much at the beginning.
It’s only now that I realize that it’s because at that time he didn’t have much hope and longing for the future, and he lived his life in a normal way like flowing water, but he didn’t expect that it was these normal days that made him know what despair is , and smashed everything about him.
Now he is like a primary school student, starting to learn to plan for himself, taking every step steadily, and finally climbing to that peak.
Zhu Qinghe turned around with a smile and went to clean up the chopping board. He made noodle soup today, adjusted the meals, and repaired the windows. He should be able to sleep soundly this night.In fact, he has no idea. School will start soon, and he will run out of food. Although the money is valuable now, it cannot be spent for a lifetime. At that time, he will have to think of other ways.
After dinner was ready, Ruan Mu saw that he was absent-minded, and grabbed a handful of chocolates from his trouser pocket. It was too hot to tear and melted.Zhu Qinghe took it and took a sip, his face changed slightly: "I can't get used to this, I was born poor, you can eat it yourself."
He has never had a chance to taste chocolate in his life. He has been outside for 20 years. The times are changing rapidly. Young people who enter the construction site late want to pay their girlfriends for Valentine’s Day, so they give this chocolate, saying it is romantic, but he does not understand it. What kind of feeling, because he is only interested in men, this kind of feeling can only be hidden underground, it is ugly and unforgivable in the eyes of most people, so he hides it very well, everyone treats him as innocent In private, he would even discuss whether he was inhumane, but he didn't say anything when he heard it.
In fact, he was in a relationship once. He was sneaky and sneaky. He didn't tell anyone about it until his death. Later, that person met a rich woman, wore a suit and drove a luxury car, and lived a very happy life.When they separated, he felt that he had nothing to lose. After all, in the long days of loneliness, someone finally filled the gap, making him feel happy, and no matter what he did, he felt very energetic.
But that person is younger than him, and he prefers real things, luxury and wealth, to this kind of unacceptable feelings, so he doesn't blame him, but sometimes he feels sorry when he thinks about it. The only period of sunshine and joy in his gloomy life.
When Ruan Mu saw him, he was happy and sometimes worried, his brows were tightly frowned, and he felt unhappy for a while. After finishing his meal quickly, he put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I can't eat your food for free. I'll bring you something tomorrow."
Zhu Qinghe stood up slowly and wanted to see him off. When he chased the kid out of the yard, he was already far away. He thought that this place was too remote, and it was not reassuring for a ten-year-old child to walk alone at night, so he turned and locked the door , trotting to catch up, and seeing the man in plaid short-sleeved shorts enter the house, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.I have to tell him tomorrow, I'd better not come back so late in the future, he is the baby bump in Teacher Wang's heart, if something happens, I really can't figure it out.
When Ruan Mu returned home, he ran to the next room after talking to Teacher Wang, and poured out the ham and candy from his schoolbag. He also looked down on these things, but Zhu Qinghe had never eaten them. , would certainly be rare.Just gathered into a pile, when he heard Mr. Wang calling his name, he hurried over.
It was rare for Mr. Wang not to write any more lesson plans. After he sat down, he said, "Your father's letter was urging you to go back to Beijing. I forgot about it because I had too many things to do. School will start soon. Going back to school is a serious matter. You have also seen how difficult it is for a child in this village to continue studying. You are blessed, the old people of the two families dote on you and spoil you. It hurts to watch, but there's nothing I can do."
"Mom, can't we just take him to our house?" Ruan Mu's eyes were still calm, as if there were few things in this world that could make him have huge emotional ups and downs.
Teacher Wang smiled and shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. I don't agree with Qinghe Dan. He is temporarily angry and thinks that he can live well by himself. After a long time, he will regret it. No child You can live without your parents, and no parent can really leave their children behind. I want to wait for them to calm down before going to persuade them. Wouldn’t everyone be happy if they can reconcile?”
Ruan Mu pouted, raised his head to look at the worms circling under the light bulb, and said disgustedly: "Mom, don't do bad things with good intentions. Brother Qinghe and his parents came to ask him for money today, saying that his brother's injury was caused by him. If you do it, you have to pay. In fact, Zhu Qingliang's hands and feet are not clean. Hearing that Brother Qinghe has made money, he wants to break the lock to steal the money, but unfortunately someone finds out, and he even sued the wicked first."
Teacher Wang looked at his son in disbelief: "Although Zhu Qingliang is not as smart as his elder brother, he is also a good brain. Fortunately, he is young. As long as he is patient and guides him to the right path, he will definitely get better. Next semester, he must do a good job. Grasp the ideological and moral classes. These children are used to the discipline of sheep-herding. The adults are busy and have no time to worry about it. If they are not careful, they will grow crooked. A good seedling will be broken if it does so."
After Teacher Wang finished speaking, he felt that he had strayed from the topic, and smiled: "Okay, let's talk about your business, I know I divorced your father, you are very unhappy, it is my mother's fault, so stubborn hurt you. But child, once some things break into your bottom line, they are completely unforgivable. There is no room for sand in your eyes. Mom is such a person. Don't take these things to heart. It's not worth it. You should look farther , study hard, and then be the kind of person you want to be. Everything you have is better than the children here, so you should cherish it, instead of playing a child and getting angry."
A rare childish smile appeared on Ruan Mu's beautiful face, but he spoke with firmness: "I want to be by your side, and I won't go anywhere. Will I learn from you in the future? I know that my mother is so good, she must be better than you." The teachers in our school are amazing. I can skip to junior high school, and if I don’t believe it, my mother can give me test questions.”
Mrs. Wang said, dumbfounded: "What are you kidding? This place is different from Beijing. It's not as simple as you think. I don't agree, and your dad won't agree. He will send someone to pick you up in a few days, good boy. Be obedient, and mother will go back to accompany you after the Chinese New Year."
Ruan Mu looked at her deeply, but finally refused: "You lied to me, you haven't been back for the New Year for two years, and grandpa and grandma miss you so much, but you don't take it seriously. From now on, I will be with you, I don't want to be alone I'm dead, and I don't want to see my father bowing his head and smoking a cigarette."
He has a kind of calmness and indifference that is not like a child. Even Teacher Wang can't understand what is wrong with this child. He seems to have seen everything through. Her excuses have become pale and powerless in front of him.She was a little afraid of this feeling, and she was afraid that when she had to leave here to face all the complicated things, she gritted her teeth and objected: "No, you have to go back, I don't care what you think, there is nothing more important than learning in this world If you don't leave, I will let the uncle who comes to pick you up take you away."
Ruan Mu didn't speak any more. The conversation between the mother and son reached a stalemate for the first time. Teacher Wang stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed. Xiao Mu, Mom hopes you can understand, I always want to Give you the best, you don't have to bear the pain I have suffered. I am a selfish mother, and I don't want to see you have a bad life, so go back. Your father will take good care of you. "
That night, Teacher Wang slept very restlessly, while Ruan Mu beside him slept soundly and heartlessly. Hearing his regular breathing, Teacher Wang couldn't help but say in his heart, he is really a child who knows nothing about sorrow. .She turned over, had to go to sleep, and would continue to run around the village tomorrow.
But he didn't know that Ruan Mu opened his eyes at this time, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, tears in the corner of his eyes, he moved his mouth, but still swallowed it.
What the Zhu family didn't expect was that in just one night and one morning, they became the object of people's jokes, especially the boss Zhu, who was even more miserable.
With a cigarette in his hand, he stood on the ground and looked at the farmer. Not far away was an acre of land that had been allocated. Inside, who knew it would be cheaper for that bastard.Then he sighed, fumbled for a cigarette from his pocket, and pointed at the still-lit red seedling. Someone patted him on the shoulder. He shook, and a good cigarette fell to the ground. He hurriedly felt distressed. He picked it up, blew it, and glared at the person who came: "Did the ghost change? Walking silently? If you have something to say, hurry up, don't delay my smoking."
"Boss Zhu, I heard people say that you went to the eldest son's house to ask him for money? Are you really able to get the money for a child as old as him? Are you scolding yourself? Big pagoda tree There is a circle of people sitting below, all talking about your family, I see that your elder brother will inevitably scold you." He didn't have the nerve to say that Zhu Qingliang's hands and feet were not clean in front of him, Zhu Boss has a bad temper, can you please Don't mess with me.
Sure enough, on the way back, there were inevitably those who couldn’t wait to look for trouble, and were glared at by Boss Zhu before restraining themselves a little bit, and those who were not afraid of lighting firecrackers, walked up and gloated and asked questions, but naturally they were scolded by Zhu Yutian It said, "You were born in the wrong birth and should be turned into a woman, otherwise you just talk too much. Talk nonsense about other people's affairs, be careful to rot your tongue."
Back home, the eldest brother was sitting with his father under the tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air. The child's mother shrank her neck and didn't say anything. She just raised her head and looked at him with a wink.
Zhu Yuliang rolled his eyes at him angrily, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word because of his complaints.Or the old man couldn't resist standing up and poking him in the brain with a pipe filled with tobacco: "Did you forget what I said at the beginning? I said that from now on, that child has nothing to do with our Zhu family. What are you still doing? Our Zhu family has been a well-known decent person in this Zhu family village for generations, but now you have been ruined by this mouse shit, are you proud? Can you use your brain before doing things? Zhu Qinghe is only fourteen, you go find it A child asked for money, and your brain was kicked by a donkey?"
The old man had just finished speaking, when he saw Zhu Qingliang who was quietly watching from behind the door, he said in a deep voice: "You are not a good person, get out of here, why are you taking care of the old house? The summer homework assigned by your teacher , I see that you didn't even move, school is about to start, what do you think about all day long? Zhu Qingliang, if you dare to let me not focus on business, you see how I will deal with you, I am an old man It's okay, but it's easy to beat you little bastard."
Zhu Yuliang sighed, and then said: "Father, you don't know, this Qingliang doesn't have a good reputation outside now. It's said that he throws stones at people's locks, and everyone in the village thinks he's a thief. It's a joke that we have no vision, treat rubble as treasure, and throw real gold bumps into the soil. Qingliang, tell me, where did you go and what did you do? I heard that you admitted that you wanted to steal Zhu Qinghe's money? This time, I really can't clean you up by throwing you into the sea. The people outside don't know what's going on, and they all turn towards Zhu Qinghe."
The old man was so angry that he coughed, and when he calmed down, he said: "Those people are greedy for a promising person in our family. Back then, there were many children who asked the sorceress to tell their fortunes, but they just picked Qingming from our family and said He is a very intelligent person, and even God protects him. Those people just don’t feel at peace, and they talk nonsense just by picking up some windy words. Don’t follow me. But this is the last time I warn you, don’t talk to him again. Be careful not to be harmed by his bad luck."
Zhu Yuliang and Zhu Yutian quickly nodded in agreement, and when the old man returned, Zhu Yuliang said with a cold face: "
