Cinderella's Gypsophila

It's a 10-minute bike ride, starting with a short section of dirt road.

Potholes when it rains, bumps and bumps when it doesn't rain.

In winter, the surroundings are bare and ugly.

But Qi Yan knew that in spring and summer, the place would be full of colorful wild flowers, and poppies and sunflowers would grow wildly in the sea of ​​flowers.

That was the summer he had watched for 11 years and still couldn't get enough of it.

...Qi Yan cleaned up his bad mood very quickly.

When I first started on the road, I still wanted to cry and was so angry that I hadn’t been riding for a few minutes, and I was already humming unyieldingly while pedaling hard.

No way, practice makes perfect.

If you feel wronged a lot, you will practice it.

What else can we do?

Bumped to death?

He is not that stupid, the body is the capital of the revolution.

It's like exercising.

Brother is so heavy, he is like carrying a sandbag.The physical exertion of this journey, let alone run 5000 meters!Not time consuming, what a perfect workout?

Go through this short section of dirt road and enter the city.

After going through a big vegetable market and a big morning market, you can reach the school in the depths of the trouble.

The slaughter of chickens and pigs in the vegetable market, blood flowed all over the floor, and the smell of various breakfasts in the morning market mixed with the smell of blood in the vegetable market was quite indescribable.

Qi Yan is fine, he has long been used to these smells.

But Cheng Sheng obviously couldn't get used to it.

"Ugh..."

Qi Yan: "What, it smells bad, you want to vomit?"

Cheng Cheng didn't speak, just nodded with difficulty against his back, covered his mouth with one hand, held his waist tightly with the other, his chest heaved.

Qi Yan: "Are you Lin Daiyu?"

Qi Yan: "I feel uncomfortable at every turn. After that, I have to walk here every day. What should you do?!"

As he said this, he kicked a little faster unconsciously.

The stalls where the ducks were killed and the fish market smelled particularly bloody. Qi Yan rode past quickly with a white shadow.

In fact, there is another way to come to school.

There is no need to go through the market, but it is far and round.

There are a bunch of ups and downs, and there is a section of houses in the middle that is so cramped that it is impossible to ride a bike and can only pass by pushing.

"Ugh..."

The smell of blood was everywhere, and Cheng Cheng was panting uncomfortably behind him.

Qi Yan sighed, and if he wanted to make a fuss, he should make a fuss, otherwise he would choose another path in the future.

Wait a minute, why should he think about Cheng Cheng?

The child of a bad woman, he doesn't have to be kind to him.

……

Finally arrived at the school carport.

Qi Yan locked the car.Cheng Cheng leaned on the iron fence, retched beside him, and finally squatted on the ground with his stomach gritted his teeth.

Qi Yan: "..."

Qi Yan: "Hey, are you okay?"

Cheng Cheng didn't answer him for a long time, sweat slipped from his forehead.

After a while, he shook his head: "It's okay, Xiao Yan, I'm fine."

That face was obviously not all right.

Qi Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he bent over and rubbed his vest.He helped him up again, and sat down in the small pavilion next to him.

The bell for class has already rang, ringing my ears and urging me.

"Xiao Yan, I'm going to be late, you first..."

Qi Yan: "It's okay, on the first day you transferred, I was late because I showed you the way. The teacher won't blame me."

"Ah."

Qi Yan: "You can rely on me to rest for a while, if it's still not enough, I'll take you home right away."

"Ah."

"..."

"Xiao Yan."

"Ok?"

"sorry."

"..."

Qi Yan didn't understand the meaning of this apology.

If it's just an apology for making him late, that's fine.

But if it's for his mother to destroy other people's families and cause other people's wives to disperse in a mess, then he doesn't really deserve it, neither does Meng Xinlan, and it's impossible for Qi Yan to accept it.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Qi Yan said to himself silently, if he thinks about it any longer, it will be endless.

He asked his brother to lean against him, and took out a thermos from his schoolbag: "Are you thirsty, drink some water?"

……

Half of the weight of Cheng Cheng's schoolbag comes from the huge thermos cup that Aunt Meng stuffed in.

Qi Yan poured out a cup of boiling water and put it beside him to cool down.

It's so cold in winter, it cools down in a minute or two, very quickly.

The thermos cup is army green, with a little bit of paint peeling off.

This reminded Qi Yan that he once had such a thermos.

In the past winter, his mother would stuff such a big cup into his and his sister's schoolbags.

Sometimes goji berry and longan are soaked in the tea, and sometimes licorice and fat sea are soaked in the tea. My mother said that children should drink to keep their bodies warm from an early age.

My sister is very obedient.

With such a small body, he could hardly carry such a heavy cup, but he still tried his best to carry it with his little face flushed.

But Qi Yan is a little lazy, the boy is naughty, always "forgets" to take it, and plays all kinds of tricks.

Every time my mother finds out, she will force the cup into his schoolbag, with a gentle and helpless smile on her face.

I still remember one time, my mother was rarely careless and forgot to cover the cup tightly.

As a result, his entire schoolbag was flooded with gold, and all his books and homework were destroyed.

When I went home at noon that day, the family couldn't laugh or cry, and took the books to the balcony and spread them out to dry like millet.

The younger sister also pouted her buttocks to help.

During that whole semester, his textbooks were often made fun of by his buddies because they were hard and brittle.

Mom also specially bought him the football he always wanted to compensate him...

"The water is not hot anymore, drink it."

Pass the water to Cheng Sheng.

Suddenly, a thorn was on his back.

He thought of his former home, his mother, such a kind and weak mother, who is now alone and treated in a mental hospital.

And who is the boy who is leaning on his shoulder and being taken care of by him at this moment?

He is that woman's son.

How sad and sad would mother be if she saw him taking care of the child?

Why should he take care of his brother.

Just as he was in a trance, the lid of the teacup in Cheng Cheng's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

The boy suddenly hugged Qi Yan's arm.

As if suddenly feeling uncomfortable, he grabbed Qi Yan's elbow and pressed it against his chest and stomach, rubbed his forehead against his shoulder, gritted his teeth and kept silent, dripping with cold sweat.

"elder brother?"

"What's wrong with you? Does it hurt somewhere?"

Qi Yan heard his own voice trembling, it was absurd and unreal.

He wasn't worried about his brother, no.

There was a voice, his own voice, which said indifferently in his ear, don't worry about this person.

Not only don't worry about it, but you can also laugh at him and the mother and son.Tell him you deserve it, it's all karma, because your mother is a bad woman, so karma is on you.

Deserve it.

It just deserves it.

But in the end, Qi Yan held back and didn't say anything.

He asked Cheng Cheng to hold a thermos to warm his stomach, and he massaged his acupoints to relieve pain and vomiting.

Even seeing him shivering from the cold, she took off her coat and put it on for him.

His mother taught him and his younger sister to be kind and hardworking, to look at the world with a bright heart, and to be willing to help others.

She taught them many things of truth, kindness and beauty.

Only forget to teach them what to do when other people are not kind at all and drive you to a dead end.

……

After a while, my brother finally recovered.

Qi Yan: "Are you all right?"

"Ah."

"Are you sure?"

"Well. It's an old problem, just get over it."

Qi Yan took Cheng Sheng to the head teacher's office. There was no one in the office. The teacher should be in class, but the get out of class ends in 5 minutes.

"Let's sit and wait."

"Ah."

"Xiao Yan."

"Huh? Hiss... what are you doing!"

"Does it hurt?"

Cheng Cheng stretched out his hand, and lightly touched Qi Yan's still red and swollen cheek.

There was a clear distress in the gray eyes.

But at first he didn't ask, but Qi Yan almost forgot about it, and when he touched it, his face started to burn again.

Thinking about all the grievances before going out, it was simply that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted.

Immediately, his mood turned bad, and he gave him a gloomy look:

"Nonsense, did you say it hurts?"

"I'll slap you a few times if I'm fine, how about you try?"

He will never forget that when he was beaten, he clearly saw the flash of relief in Meng Xinlan's eyes.

It seemed that whenever he was unlucky, Meng Xinlan would be happy.

what man.

"I'm really annoying you two," he said angrily, "Although you have transferred to our class, when you come to class later, can you stop saying that we know each other?"

"All my classmates know that I only have a younger sister and no older brother. You weren't my older brother either."

"..."

"Ah."

Cheng Cheng lowered his head and agreed.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Qi Yan threw his brother to the class teacher, and went back to class first.

As soon as I entered the class with my schoolbag on my back, the whole class started booing.

"Wow ha ha ha, the monitor is also late today!"

"A whole class late!"

"Qi Yan! If you're late, don't tell me early! I ran over early in the morning and expected to copy your homework!"

"Have you eaten, monitor? Do you want to eat buns? I'll give you breakfast! It's hot!"

"Haha Qi Yan, don't believe him, his steamed stuffed bun just dropped on the ground!"

"Hey squad leader, what's wrong with your face and you got beaten? Who is so bold! Do you want to help you get beaten!"

Everyone messed around.

Five minutes later, the class bell rang.

Qi Yan tried his best to separate the relationship and wanted to pretend that he didn't know his brother, but was introduced to everyone by the class teacher with a smile:

"Students, this is Cheng Zhiyuan who has just transferred from another school, he is the older brother of Qi Yan, the monitor of our class.

Everyone: "Wow~~~"

"Since we are brothers, then student Cheng Zhiyuan... just sit next to Qi Yan, monitor, take care of your brother, and try to help him adapt to class life as soon as possible!"

Qi Yan: "..."

He really wanted to drop the pencil case.

Ji Nanqi, the bully at the same table, was even more broken than Qi Yan.

With a face full of disintegration, he packed up his things without tears: "It's over, no, then who will I ask to copy my homework in the future?"

"Brother Yan, I can't bear to part with you! Don't abandon me if you're not at the same table!"

Cheng Cheng sat next to Qi Yan.

After class, the class exploded again in an instant.

The students flocked to Qi Yan's seat like watching rare animals.

"Qi Yan Qi Yan, you still have an older brother! Why have you never heard of it?"

"Hey squad leader, your brother is more handsome than you hahaha."

"Brother is so tall! Da Nan Da Nan, you don't seem to be the tallest now! Squad monitor brother is taller than you!"

"Hey, why don't you look alike at all? And - different surnames?"

Qi Yan: "One with my dad's surname and one with my grandma's surname, no! Okay, okay, okay! Get out of the way~ I'll charge you if you get stuck in my seat! A dime for 1 minute!"

……

Qi Yan's mother had an accident during the summer vacation.

The story made it into the local paper, but it was only a small page "Woman Attempts Suicide by Jumping from Building."

Qi Yan's mother's natal family is small and weak, so even if there are a lot of grievances from the original mistress, there is nowhere to complain.

This matter just passed away without a sound.

No one at school knew about it.

A few of the teachers had heard about it, but those who knew felt that the child was very pitiful, and they would not mention it if they could not.

In fact, there are many flaws.

If the students in the class can think about it carefully, they will feel very strange.

For example, why Qi Yan never hesitated to tell everyone that he has a little sister, but never said that he has a brother who is about the same age.

For another example, Cheng Sheng's stationery is actually very gorgeous.

Although Meng Xinlan is not a rich man, she is willing to buy the best for her son.

My brother's pencil case has three layers and is imported from overseas. It is said that it is the same brand as the daughter of the deputy director of the Education Bureau's family, and it costs more than [-] yuan each.

In this day and age, in vegetable market primary schools like theirs, there are not many people in the whole school who can afford such expensive pencil cases.

The pens are also new and good, very beautiful.

And Qi Yan's pencil case is made of cheap plastic.Half of it was flattened, and the lid almost couldn't be closed.

Pens and erasers are also mediocre.

Whose family's brothers will be treated like this?

However, everyone in the fifth grade is still very innocent, and no one would think so much.

After a few classes, when everyone gathered around again, it was no longer the curious brother, but as always——

"Qi Yan, class monitor, please, write your math homework ahead of time, and copy it for me when you finish! I'll bring you the old Zhang Roujiamo from Shuguang Lane tomorrow!"

"Squad leader, help me see how to do this question?"

"Squad leader, don't forget the football match with Class [-] in the afternoon!"

Qi Yan dealt with them one by one.

"no problem."

"Draw a side here and turn it into a triangle, can't it be done?"

"Hahaha, you can't win without me?"

Cheng Cheng was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Xiao Yan was so popular in the class.

All the stars hold the moon, everyone likes him very much.

It turned out that he was not always as indifferent as at home.

He still laughs.

Smile exactly the same as before.The sun was so bright and bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Hey! Qi Yan!! Your girlfriend is looking for you again—!"

"Squad leader, your girlfriend is here to care about you!"

Suddenly, booing began at the door of the classroom.

Cheng Cheng was stunned.

Qi Yan stood up, straightened his collar handsomely, and walked towards the door.
