give me glory [e-sports]

Tears are salty.Does that mean I bottled my tears so that grandma wouldn't have to spend money on salt when she was cooking?

But my father said that a man can't cry all the time.

—— "Ding Shengrong's Diary"

On the afternoon when Ding Zhengkang left, Ding Shengrong was helping Lai Guangshen with his homework.

For 10-year-old Lai Guangshen, homework in the fourth grade of elementary school is more difficult than asking him to climb a 100-meter-high tree to dig out bird eggs.But for 7-year-old Ding Shengrong, it was very simple. He finished Lai Guangshen's homework in less than 10 minutes. He also imitated Lai Guangshen's handwriting like a dog crawling. On the verge that the teacher will not be angry.

After Ding Shengrong finished, he secretly asked the little partner in the middle to pass the notebook to Lai Guangshen, and picked up a pen to prepare for his own questions.

But at that moment, he stopped suddenly.

He suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

At that moment, it seemed that the whole world was stretched in milliseconds, and then shrunk back to its original shape.

There is still half a month before the summer vacation, and the weather has begun to heat up.As a city in the south, Rong County seemed to have been thrown into the furnace long ago.

The fan above the head has aged, and it is whistling while turning.There are intermittent cicadas chirping outside the window. When I'm in a good mood, I can't hear it. When I'm in a bad mood, I find him very annoying.Occasionally, a few bird calls would pass through the tall green trees and reach the students' ears.The sun was also mottled, and under the breeze, he swayed on the table as if he was drunk.

The classroom is very quiet, but the quietness in summer always carries a kind of white noise, which makes it difficult for people to be peaceful.

Ding Shengrong suppressed the palpitations in his heart and buried himself in the sixth grade textbook.

He promised his father that he would skip two more grades and strive to enter junior high school next year.

When Ding Shengrong watched Ding Zhengkang die, he didn't quite understand what death was.

The last struggle of the dying man was to blushed and raised his head, telling him over and over again, "I don't ask you to be great in the future, but you must live well, you must live well... Dad is sorry for you... "

Every time Ding Zhengkang said a word, Ding Shan's weeping body would shake even more violently, and her hand tightly grasped Ding Shengrong, as if his wrist was broken.But the old lady who cared about him very much didn't notice, and Ding Shengrong didn't say a word, and didn't pull out his hand.

Until Ding Zhengkang couldn't breathe in his last breath, the old lady finally collapsed, lying on Ding Zhengkang's chest and crying loudly.

When she was crying, it was as if someone pinched her neck, making people afraid that she would follow her if she couldn't catch her breath.

Ding Zhengkang's funeral was very simple, but many people came to the funeral, and his former students came back to mourn him.It was also the first time Ding Shengrong knew that his father was actually so famous.

Ding Zhengkang has been teaching for eight years, some of the first batch of students have achieved a little success, they also feel unbearable to see the current state of the Ding family, and try to give Ding Shan money and things in different ways to help them.

Ding Shan didn't want to take their things, so she returned everything that could be returned. If she couldn't, she wrote down in a small notebook, who gave what, and then let Ding Shengrong remember that in the future, these things must be doubled back. .

When Ding Zhengkang was alive, he had his own arrogance and didn't want their things, and after his death, he didn't want them even more.

When Lai Guangshen arrived at the mourning hall, Ding Shengrong was sitting beside Ding Zhengkang's coffin in a daze.

Lai Guangshen walked up to him and sat down, and handed him a bottle of milk.

This is a beautifully packaged yogurt sold in a small shop. Although it is not a rare item in their place, children will be envied if they receive such a thing.Lai Guangshen gave him this bottle of yogurt, fearing that it would cost him half a month's pocket money.

Ding Shengrong shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm keeping a filial piety, and you can't eat when you're a filial piety."

"What is filial piety?" Seeing his refusal, Lai Guangshen was no longer polite. He took out a straw and put it into the box and started drinking, "Is your uncle a new way to torment you?"

"No, I want to come by myself. Grandma and uncle told me to go back to sleep. I don't want to go back. When I go back, Dad will lie here alone. It's cold and there is no one here. It will be very uncomfortable for Dad to lie here alone. Lonely." He explained: "Shou filial piety is when the parents die, and the children must accompany them at night for seven days.

"Oh."

Lai Guangshen wanted to say something, he wanted to say that he caught a few more cicadas today, boiled a few more bird eggs, and won the cricket fight with whomever.

But he was a little speechless.

He still remembered that when he first met Ding Shengrong, the five-year-old child was running hard in the fields, which looked very strange.He thought it was interesting, so he took him to catch frogs and steal persimmons from the next village. In the end, the two of them were scolded by their respective fathers because they came home too late.Later, in a blink of an eye, this strange kid became his classmate, borrowing him to copy homework every day, and using his identity as a good student to cover him up with the teacher.

Lai Guangshen turned to look at him, "Ding Shengrong, are you sad?"

"kind of."

"What do you mean by death? Brother Lai."

"After you, I will never see your father again."

"He won't be able to recite my texts anymore."

"Correct."

"He will lie in the coffin and be buried in the soil, and he will never come out again. I can't talk to him, and I can't see him."

"Yes."

Ding Shengrong huddled his small body, his eyes were slightly red, "That's sad, brother Lai. I'm very sad right now."

"I didn't have a mother when I was born. I haven't seen her, and I don't know her, so I'm not sad at all. But my father is different. Since I have already given my father to me, why should I take it away suddenly?"

Ding Shengrong sniffed, his eyes filled with mist, "If they all have to go, why did they show up in the first place?"

Ten-year-old Lai Guangshen actually didn't quite understand what Ding Shengrong was talking about.All he could feel, was that his little buddy was sad right now.Sad because Dad is gone.

He is not very good at comforting people, so he can only keep saying, "It's okay, Ding Shengrong, you still have your elder brother Lai."

Six years later.

"...you are at home on vacation, you must pay attention to your personal safety, remember to remember! Well, that's all I have to say, let's get out of class!"

"Oh!"

The whole classroom cheered when they heard the word "end of get out of class". High school is no different than elementary school and junior high school. There are no Saturdays and Sundays, and you have to study by yourself in the evening. There is no freedom at all.It was a rare monthly vacation, and all the students were very happy. Several students who had packed their things in advance started rushing out regardless.The head teacher was no stranger to this situation, smiled and shook his head and left the classroom.

Ding Shengrong fell behind, slowly arranging the books he wanted to take back.

"Ding Shengrong, will we go together later? I'm going back to Dingjia Village." Ding Tingting spoke to him with a slightly red face. The 13-year-old Ding Shengrong is probably due to training since he was a child. The advantages of height and leg length have gradually emerged. Compared with other classmates who are two or three years older than him, there is no difference. I'm short.

Ding Shengrong is not like the Ding family, maybe he is like his mother who has never met, with delicate and gentle eyes, very much like the male protagonist in the comics.Although Ding Tingting reminded herself time and time again that this was a younger brother who was two years younger than her, she couldn't help but blush every time she talked to him.

"Thank you Sister Ting, I'm going to do some shopping later, so we won't be together." Ding Shengrong politely declined Ding Tingting's invitation.

Although she knew it was a bit talkative, Ding Tingting couldn't help but said, "Are you going to find Lai Guangshen? You should avoid contacting him in the future. He is... just a gangster. You always hang out with him." not too good."

Ding Shengrong didn't answer, but smiled politely at Ding Tingting, bypassed her and walked out of the classroom.

When Ding Shengrong walked to the door, Lai Guangshen was leaning on his bicycle with a cigarette in his mouth, pretending to be deep.It was the age when he was young and frivolous, and felt that he was omnipotent. A small bicycle was forced by him to look like a million-dollar luxury car.

Seeing him coming from a distance, Lai Guangshen threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

"Oh, it's like being in a cage after you went to high school. It's not easy for me to see you once. Get in the car."

Lai Guangshen reached out his hand to take Ding Shengrong's schoolbag, Ding Shengrong shook his head, "The schoolbag is too heavy, it will be difficult to steer later, I will carry it."

Lai Guangshen knew that this kid looked thin and weak, but in fact he had eight-pack abs plus biceps and triceps. He was a mess of muscles. He had great strength and good athletic talent.The action just now was done by the habit of chasing after girls to help carry bags recently, and he was not polite to him. He sat on the bicycle, and after confirming that Ding Shengrong was sitting firmly, he kicked his legs hard to carry Ding Shengrong forward gone.

Lai Guangshen was pedaling his bicycle, looking for topics idly, "Did you hear that, didn't you always want to build a poverty alleviation village? Although our village was not selected, the mayor somehow thought of a way to find a group of people The reporter said that he would come to our village to wander around and promote it."

Ding Shengrong's mind was full of the unfinished question before get out of class, "I don't know. When will they come?"

"Just recently. I heard from my mother that the village has been very lively recently. Staff from the county and the town have been everywhere, asking them to make every house in the village tidy and clean. I heard that reporters may enter the house. The mayor Yesterday, I personally went to Uncle Li’s house to sweep the floor for him, you think it’s funny, hahaha.”

Ding Shengrong was not very interested in this kind of gossip, so he responded casually a few times.

Lai Guangshen squeezed the brakes, and stopped the car with his left foot on the ground, "Here we are."

Lai Guangshen works in Rong County No. [-] Middle School, which is a video game city not far from Ding Shengrong's high school.To put it nicely, it's called security, but in fact, the video game city is very chaotic. In order to prevent those gangsters from making trouble, the boss recruited a group of gangsters who are not so noisy but can fight and work. He "sees the situation".

Lai Guangshen's daily work is very simple, just sit next to the front desk, tease each other with the little girl at the front desk, and pick a machine to play with when there are few people - anyway, as a staff here, he can use it without limit Those game coins.

As early as two years ago, with the gradual rise of Internet cafes and computer games, the business of the video game city was not as good as every year, and the number of "security guards" was less and less. The video game city also shrank from the previous two floors to one floor. Then shrink to the current small space of less than [-] square meters.

Because the general monthly holiday time is [-] pm, Rong County can’t go directly to Dingjia Village, and has to walk from the next village, and it’s almost [-] pm to reach Dingjia Village. Ding Shan is worried that it’s not safe.Unlike Ding Tingting, Ding Shengrong has relatives who can live in the next village, so it happens that the Lai family and the Ding family have a good relationship. Lai Guangshen and Ding Shengrong grew up together. Now Lai Guangshen works in Rong County and rents a small house of his own. Ding Shengrong was asked to stay at Lai Guangshen's house and come back by car the next morning.

Lai Guangshen didn't work overtime until eight o'clock. Ding Shengrong usually followed Lai Guangshen to the video game city. Lai Guangshen watched the scene while he did his homework at the front desk.

Lai Guangshen and Ding Shengrong arrived at the front desk. Li Mei, who was settling accounts at the front desk, looked up at the two of them coming in, and laughed all the way, "Rongrong is on vacation today!"

Li Mei and Lai Guangshen have a good relationship, and Ding Shengrong is cute, so every time I see them, they are also very enthusiastic.

Ding Shengrong also greeted her, and Li Mei moved aside to give him a little space to do his homework.

There are not too many people today, there are already people waiting in line at the Internet cafe next door, it is really late and there is no place to go, so I have no choice but to come to the game city to vent.

Zhong Yubin is one of this group of people.

His uncle is the principal of Rongxian No. [-] Middle School, and his father is the director of the Rongxian Fertilizer Factory. He is the top person in the entire Rongxian County.A young master like this who is well-clothed and well-fed can logically buy as many computers as he wants at home, but his parents are too strict on weekdays, and they don’t let him play computers at all, let alone playing games. something.I had no choice but to escape with the excuse of going to a classmate's home to do my homework, but it happened that Rong County No. [-] Middle School and the junior high school next door were on vacation together, and the nearby Internet cafes were all full.

Zhong Yubin went to three or four Internet cafes, but couldn't get in the queue at all. He suddenly remembered that there was a home appliance game city next door, and they were all out anyway, so he just went to the video game city to play a few games to enjoy himself.

Note: Ding Shengrong’s filial piety statement in the article is wrong. He has only heard of this concept and has a vague understanding and impression, but the specific method is not very clear.

The author has something to say: This article is really slow, but I can’t spoil it with everyone (crying), and I’m so stubborn that I must write like this, otherwise the structure will be messed up (sigh)
