Chapter 15 Extra Story: Those Things in Those Years (1)
Wen Hao didn't speak, and Gong Cheng lost interest after cursing a few words on the shore.Originally, I wanted to find a stone to throw again, but when I saw a swollen piece on Wen Hao's forehead, I felt a little guilty, so I simply gathered my friends back and started playing by the pool.
Gong Junyou was only transferred to this hydropower station a year ago as the factory director, and his tenure is relatively long, so he brought his wife and young son with him when he came.People died in this pond two years ago, and it was for this reason that the former factory manager was transferred away, so Gong Cheng was told by his family not to play here as soon as he came.A ten-year-old child may be obedient at first, but he will definitely explore unknown areas when he is familiar with the territory. This pond is indeed his first time entering.
There are many interesting things on the edge of the pond. If there are many fish, you can see them when you lower your head. There are also big dragonflies flying on the water, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the natural scenery is attractive everywhere.Not to mention blocking people, just the scene in front of him attracted him for half a step and didn't want to leave.
Gong Cheng took the lead and took the six children to catch dragonflies and fish.
In order to make up for the previous mistakes, Zhao Pan managed to catch a big dragonfly the size of a palm: "This is a female dragonfly with a green belly. You can catch a male dragonfly, which is blue."
Gong Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard it: "How to catch?"
"Tie a rope to its belly and let it fly above its head. The male dragonfly will come in a while."
"No rope..." Gong Cheng said, his eyes fell on Wen Hao's fishing rod, he ran over in a few steps and kicked over the broken pot, tied the dragonfly to the fishing line, and ran around the pond.
Wen Hao pursed his lips, floating in the bottomless pool, silently watching them play on the shore.
Until he saw Gong Cheng kick over his fish basin, take away his fishing rod, especially throw it carelessly after pulling off the hook, two clusters of flames rose in his eyes in an instant.
This is the hook he found with great difficulty, there is no second one!
When Gong Cheng found something new, his attention was attracted.Wen Hao seized the opportunity, dived into the water, and landed quietly.
"He ran away!" It was Tian Xiaomao who discovered it first again.
"Catch him!" Gong Cheng roared domineeringly, and chased him with his fishing rod in hand. Dragonflies flew desperately beside him, and a big blue dragonfly flew towards him quietly.
Wen Hao knew the way, got into the grass, and slipped away like a mouse.
Gong Cheng was so angry that he chased after him. His friends were yelling, which could be heard a thousand meters away.
Wen Hao got out of the grass and walked onto the main road. Four adults walked towards him quickly, wearing the work clothes of the power plant, and the logo on the chest indicated that they were all regular employees of the power plant.
There is a salary of thousands of yuan a month!
Wen Hao didn't have time to think about it, the adults had already opened their mouths to ask him what was going on, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his uncle, Wen Hao ran out of the interception net nimbly like a loach, and ran away in two or three strokes.
The belated Gong Cheng and his friends were caught.
What happened later, Wen Hao didn't know.
It is said that some people were spanked that day, some were put in confinement, and some did not eat dinner.Gong Cheng was scolded by his mother for more than an hour, and he ate fried pork with bamboo shoots, leaving bright marks on his buttocks.The blue male dragonfly and the green female dragonfly flew at Gong Cheng's house for a day, and finally both died behind the sofa. When they were found, countless ants were having a feast, and then the old story was brought up again, and Gong Cheng was once again killed by her mother. Trained for half an hour.
Gong Cheng rubbed his ass and wiped his tears, hating that black boy to death.
Wen Hao returned home wet.
This so-called home is a unified dormitory arranged by the power plant for temporary workers. It is a room of more than ten square meters. When you live in it, you have a bed frame, a wardrobe and a desk.On the single iron frame bed, my uncle connected a piece of it with a stool and a wooden plank against the wall, and Wen Hao slept on it.
Uncle is at work now, and there is no one in the room. Wen Hao quickly changed his clothes and pants, and when he was hanging the clothes on the corridor, he was still thinking about the fishhook that Gong Cheng threw away, thinking about how to get it back tomorrow .
Wen Hao is in the second year of junior high school this year, and it is now the summer vacation. He goes to practice swimming every morning and afternoon, and he can get a day off on weekends.
Every weekend, Wen Hao would go fishing, and when he came back, he would boil it with plain water and add some salt, not once or twice, who knew that he would be so unlucky to meet that evil star this time.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, when he was growing tall, the canteen food that uncle brought back every day was not bad, but it was still not enough.Not weight, but nutrition.For several days, his body was sore and uncomfortable when he slept at night, and the itching feeling from the cracks in his bones made him sleepless night after night.Later he heard from Shen Huafei that it was because of poor nutrition.
Shen Huafei is the son of Coach Shen. Coach Shen is his coach in the city's swimming team. He is a very nice person. He knows his family's situation and often asks his wife to cook for him. Just like this, he can't keep up with his nutrition, so he can only think about it on his own. There is a way.
It’s not a big deal if you haven’t eaten a full-grown fish for a day. The key is the hook, which is really hard to find.
After drying the clothes, Wen Hao couldn't sit still in the room. After thinking about it, he still planned to go out to find the fishhook.
Going back to the pond again, Wen Hao walked in quietly after observing outside.
Everyone left, the pond was quiet in the afternoon, and Xia Chan was singing happily.
Thinking of that bully, Wen Hao gritted his teeth, it's great that your father is the director of the factory!Just bully people casually!Just drop my hook!Kick over my fish bowl!At once……
Wen Hao pursed his lips and stopped thinking about it. He searched his memory and found the grass. He lay down on the ground and carefully pushed aside every blade of grass. Two drops of water landed on the back of his hand.He wiped it off and continued searching.
If I had a father and a mother, what would happen? After a long time, I don't want to think about it.
Every time I think about it, I cry.
He didn't want to cry at all.
Crying is useful, even if he is blinded by crying, he still wants to bring his parents back to life, but unfortunately he can't.
The eyes that had regained their clarity suddenly fixed in one place, and the place where the line of sight fell reflected a silver luster.He stretched out his hand, and carefully pinched the small silver object with his thumb and index finger. A smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were still shining with tears, curved brightly, as satisfied as if he had obtained the whole world.
……
In the past few days, Wen Hao has been sneaking in and out of the power plant for fear of being caught by those children.Fortunately, the play area for those children is on the illuminated stadium above, and he can avoid it as long as he deliberately avoids it.
On this day, Wen Hao went home all the way while wiping his hands, his face was flushed with sweat.
It only takes about [-] minutes for the city swimming team to go to the power plant by car. He came back from a run early in the winter and summer vacation training. With the saved travel expenses, his wife bought some fresh beef. When he was ready to go home, he let his uncle stew it for him.
Pushing open the door, besides his uncle, a woman appeared in the room, and the smile on Wen Hao's face faded immediately.
After entering the room, he called out expressionlessly, "Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu's name is Liu Min, and she is my uncle's girlfriend. She was the one who contacted my uncle when he was able to work in the power plant.Liu Min is three years older than her uncle, and has a strong personality. Every time she appears, she always looks bossy, and both herself and her uncle are overwhelmed by her.
The hand holding the strap of the schoolbag tightened, not intending to take out the beef inside, this woman is the most annoying!
After Wen Hao called people, he found a corner stool and sat down quietly, his eyes fell on the face of his uncle who was eating with his head down.
My uncle is less than 30 years old this year and has no academic qualifications. Before that, he worked odd jobs on construction sites. Later, when his parents had an accident, he took him away and took him with him.There is nothing wrong with my uncle. He eats as much as he eats, and keeps in mind his mother’s last wish to keep learning swimming. He hopes that after studying physical education, he can be assigned and have a decent job.
It's a pity that my uncle is too honest, and even he, a child, can see the inferiority complex in his heart. A taciturn person, he didn't even dare to say a word when Liu Min pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Wen Hao didn't dare to let his uncle know that there was beef in his bag, and when he turned around, Liu Min would definitely take it away. This was the food he earned after running for a month.
"Eat, you! What are you doing sitting there!? You look so angry! Who gave you such a bad look?" Liu Min raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Hao, then tapped the table impatiently with her chopsticks.
There were four pots on the table, two meat, one vegetarian, and one pot of rice, which my uncle brought back from the cafeteria.The food in the power plant is really good, the meat is not to be fooled, it just tastes so-so.
Wen Hao came back from running after a day of swimming. His body was exhausted so much that his body fluid flooded his mouth. He lowered his head and dragged the bench over.
"Leave the schoolbag behind, it won't get in the way if you carry it on your back." Liu Min said again.
Wen Hao's heart tightened and he shook his head.
"I said put it down!" Liu Min, whose authority was challenged, raised his voice.
Wen Hao became more nervous and shook his head again and again.
Liu Min rolled her eyes and grabbed Wen Hao's schoolbag: "What is hidden in your bag! Take it out for me!"
Liu Min saw the trick, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and reached out to grab Wen Hao's backpack.Wen Hao was thinking about the beef in it, and he would not let go of it.Liu Min's sharp nails scratched three bloodstains on his neck, and while clutching the strap of his schoolbag, he hit him on the head several times.Wen Hao was in pain, couldn't help but raised his hand and waved it, hitting Liu Min's hand.Liu Min seemed to be crazy, jumping up and down, beating even more fiercely.
"Huang Tianjun, what are you looking at! You can't see him hitting me!! You trash! You just know how to eat and eat! What do you want to break up with! Hurry up and move me!!"
"Wen Hao!" Uncle put down his chopsticks and said in a nonchalant manner, "What are you doing?"
For a moment, all resistance turned into a joke.
Wen Hao bit his lip and let Liu Min take away his schoolbag.
Afterwards, Liu Min grasped the beef in a cloth bag and carefully wrapped in a plastic bag in his palm, pinching the scarlet beef with his slender fingers, and the nails inserted into the meat seemed to be scratching Wen Hao's heart.
"What is this? Beef? Where did you steal it?"
Wen Hao pouted his lips: "I didn't steal it, I saved money to buy it."
"What did you save to buy?"
"Travel expenses... I came back from a run, and my wife bought it."
"What are you buying this thing for? You just know that it's useless to eat and drink! You spend money all day long! You don't have the nerve to ask for money if you don't take a car! You're going to lie! You don't want to take a car, do you? Then you'll walk from now on return!"
Wen Hao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Liu Min put the beef back into his pocket and put it on the table in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
This beef is indeed good beef. The teacher's wife knows his situation, so she bought it for him with her own money. The authentic yellow beef weighs more than four catties. It is heavy in the hand, and it looks honest.
Wen Hao wants to come back.
Liu Min glared at him viciously, and weighed the weight of the beef in her heart, probably with half a month's salary of hers.
Wen Hao lowered his head and ate silently, tears welling in his eyes.
The uncle couldn't see it, so he said: "Haohao is growing up, I asked him to buy this beef..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Min smashed the chopsticks with a "snap", with such force that one of the chopsticks bounced to his uncle's face, interrupting the rest of his uncle's words.
"What do you mean by that? Why did I treat him so harshly? Without me, you are still living in the shed! What happened to my share of beef!? Huang Tianjun, you have grown up now, don't you? Dare to talk back, don't you? I am today Make it clear! You have to continue with me! Get rid of this oil bottle! I have no intention of being a stepmother!"
"You..." Uncle was in a hurry, and the clay figurine was also very hot-tempered. After being slapped in the face by a woman, he threw his rice bowl on the table and stood up.
Liu Min took a step back in fright, rolled her eyes, and stared round again: "What do you want to do!? What do you want to hit me!? You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!! You want to break up with me, don't you! Ah! Don't you! ! Hit me and try!! Try!! I can let you in, and I can let you go!!"
Uncle was dumbfounded, he was cowardly by nature, not to mention that this job was unprecedentedly good, he didn't have to worry about food and housing, and he could even feed his nephew. With his abilities, it was indeed impossible to find a job better than this.
Liu Min regained the upper hand, and smiled triumphantly: "Huang Tianjun, I'll put my words here. Do you want a job and a wife or a fool, you can figure it out yourself, I'm not a stepmother!"
After Liu Min said these words, he took the beef generously, turned around and left.
Wen Hao looked at Liu Min's back, and then at his uncle who was sitting back on the stool after exhausting his strength, his eyes were terrified.
The accident happened suddenly to his parents, and his father didn't even have any relatives. Only his uncle could support him. He wanted to have some ambition to live on his own, but he still needed to swim and study, which cost money.
He has no money.
"Uncle..." Wen Hao said timidly.
"Stop talking, eat." The greatest benefit of being cowardly is that he can regulate himself no matter how bullied he is. Uncle sighed, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Wen Hao got used to it, he didn't expect his uncle to quarrel with Liu Min at all, as long as he didn't lose himself.
After dinner, it was still bright daylight. My uncle was on the night shift today, so he left after dinner.
After Wen Hao cleared the table and washed the dishes, he thought for a while, and went to the pond with the fishing rod and fish basin.
The beef was taken away by Liu Min, he had to find a way to supplement nutrition, the easiest way was to fish and eat.
The pond of the power plant has existed since the construction of the plant, and fish fry were put into it during the period, so there were a lot of fish. Later, people died, and almost no one went to the pond, and the fish in it flooded.
Good fishing.
Wen Hao dug two earthworms in a nearby stinking ditch, and caught two crucian carp weighing about one catty in less than 10 minutes.The fresh live fish swim happily in the water basin, and the grievances brought by Liu Min can be considered to have dissipated a lot.
It was getting dark, Wen Hao rushed home in a hurry, not paying attention to the figure following him, and thought that the fish could be fried and eaten.
When I arrived at the dormitory building and went up to the second floor, as soon as I opened the door, I was hit hard and pushed into the room with my neck stuck.
The room was dark and quiet, Wen Hao was pushed to the ground, the basin in his hand fell to the ground, and two chubby big fish flapped their tails.
There was a person riding behind him, and before he could see who it was, he was punched heavily in the head.
Then the person behind said triumphantly: "Stinky boy! Why do you think I can't catch you? Hide! I'll see where you are hiding! Beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Wen Hao was beaten into a daze, but it was Gong Cheng who spoke behind him.
Gong Cheng was very proud of riding on Wen Hao. Thinking about his ass being beaten a few days ago, and thinking about how he calmly found out who Wen Hao was, and how rarely he followed him patiently. This move won the victory. I'm so happy just thinking about it.
Ever since he lost someone in the pond that day, he has been thinking about this black boy all the time, wanting to press him down and beat him up all the time, and he can't even sleep well at night.Just thinking about how to beat this kid to tears and make him beg himself with tears, no sarcasm can be seen in those big black round eyes.
Gong Cheng was beating and scolding while thinking, until he came back to his senses, only to find that the boy under him didn't cry, make noise, or talk, and didn't even struggle.
Oops!
You won't be beaten to death by yourself!
Gong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he fell to the ground in fright, and looked at the other party in a daze.In a dark room, a person was lying motionless in front of him. Two crucian carp flapped their tails weakly, breathing hard with their mouths wide open.
"Hey!" Gong Cheng kicked the opponent with his foot.
no response.
"Get up! Don't pretend to be dead!" He kicked again.
Still no response.
Cold sweat broke out on Gong Cheng's back, he crawled over little by little, and reached out to touch Wen Hao's nose.
Wen Hao, who was motionless, suddenly put his arms on the ground at this moment, and sat up straight.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Gong Cheng almost peed in fright.
"Crack!" The lamp was pulled away by Wen Hao, and the yellow light sprinkled every corner of the room, making it bright.
Gong Cheng was ashamed of his panic just now, with a sullen face, he stood against the wall very unhappy, his long and narrow red phoenix eyes were as green as a wild wolf, trying to figure out how to bite that black and thin body Only fatal.
Wen Hao turned on the light, picked up the fish, wiped off all the water stains on the ground, and then looked up at Gong Cheng.The amber eyes were a little dazed, and the expressionless face looked very tired. That kind of decadent expression didn't look like a 13-year-old child at all.
Gong Cheng still couldn't understand the expression on his face. Seeing Wen Hao looking at him, he immediately stared back. The one grinning was a little beast.Seeing Wen Hao take a step towards him, he immediately bared his teeth in displeasure, Wen Hao was half a head taller than him, although he would fall down as soon as he blew dryly, but he didn't like looking up at people, so he took the initiative to take a step back , stare!
Seeing him like this, Wen Hao stopped moving, his back and head hurt, and his temper was wiped out by what happened today. When he remembered the identity of the other party, now he just wanted to calm down.
"I won't go fishing in the future, I will return these two fish later, is that okay?"
Gong Cheng snorted, dissatisfied. Wen Hao's cowardly behavior looked good, but he neither cried bitterly nor begged in despair.
The fist was about to move, and he wanted to make persistent efforts to make him cry, but his eyes fell on the opponent's neck unexpectedly.Wen Hao's neck was slender, and his complexion was a bit paler than his face. There were three bloodstains on it, which were much bigger than a cat's paw. They were either scratched by branches or scratched by women.
Not too happy that his prey was bitten by someone before, Gong Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Which wild woman caught your neck?"
Wen Hao felt that the three words "wild woman" were used very delicately. If Liu Min was wild, then he and Gong Cheng were still close?
Let him choose him without relying on anyone, neither of them is a good thing.
"..."
Wen Hao was silent, but Gong Cheng was unhappy, and flicked his fingers on his arm: "Ask you!"
"You don't care!" Wen Hao squeezed the fish basin tightly, "Get out of the way, I'll pour the fish."
"No! Let it go if you say so! I'm not very shameless!"
"..." Crazy, Wen Hao looked at the other party, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.
Gong Cheng quarreled purely for the sake of quarreling. After he finished speaking, he felt that the logic was wrong, and added, "I don't want this fish if it's dead! You have to pay me two!"
Wen Hao squeezed the basin tightly, turned around without saying a word, and pulled out a kitchen knife from the table.
Gong Cheng's face changed slightly. Seeing the position of the door, he was ready to flee at any moment.
Wen Hao took out the scissors again, grabbed the fish and exposed its belly, opened it up neatly, scraped off the scales and removed the gills, the scarlet liquid stained the water in a basin, and the whole room smelled of fish.
While Gong Cheng frowned in disgust, he opened his bright eyes wide and watched Wen Hao kill the fish for a moment.Of course he has seen killing fish, but not many times. His mother is not very good at cooking, and his father is not very good at cooking. There is a helper at home, and occasionally he will go to the cafeteria to eat fried food.Seeing people kill fish like this with my own eyes is still a boy around my age, doing this kind of work with neat hands and feet, and the skillful and smooth movements make people unable to take their eyes off.
After killing the fish, Wen Hao walked towards Gong Cheng with a basin of scarlet blood soaked in the fish carcasses, and said in a calm and weak tone, "If I cook fish for you to eat, I won't compensate you for the fish, okay?" ?”
Gong Cheng froze for a moment, turned his eyes away from the shocking blood, and looked at Wen Hao.
Wen Hao had a bruised and black patch on his cheek, and he didn't know if he hit it himself.He was wearing a white vest that didn't fit well, and half a small pink bead could be seen in the baggy shape. Underneath was a pair of knee-high shorts, which didn't fit well. In short, he looked like a dirty child.But the other party's face was not dirty, especially the eyes, which were big and round and beautiful, with thick and long eyelashes curled up, like two rustling small fans brushing.The bridge of the nose isn't too straight, but it's not too flat. The lips are a little thick, especially the lower lip is plump and moist. It's not difficult to catch the eye, and it's even quite attractive, especially when the other party slightly draws the eye feathers and asks about him, he looks very docile.An extraordinarily comfortable feeling flowed through his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he had already nodded.
Wen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
Gong Cheng looked at the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood immediately improved.
There is no sink in the dormitory, Wen Hao carefully cleaned the fish in the sink at the end of the corridor.When I went back to the house, I took out the electric frying pan and a small bowl of lard, plugged it in, the lard melted in the hot pan, and put the cleaned crucian carp into the hot oil.
"Crash-"
Gong Cheng opened his eyes wide, watching Wen Hao make fish like watching his favorite cartoon.
Fry crucian carp with lard, then pour water, when the water boils, put a piece of ginger, cover the pot, and cook crucian carp soup.
He originally planned to eat fried fish today, but with Gong Cheng here, he might be able to save some for himself if he ate crucian carp soup. It would be better if the other party didn't understand the goods and thought fish was the best thing.
Thinking that he would no longer be able to go fishing in the future, and Liu Min would take away the beef, he felt stuffy in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to swim well if he was not nourished enough, or tall enough.
Swimming is very hard, and it is even more difficult to learn to swim when the food and housing are not good.But he had to go.Ever since his parents passed away, he knew that he should not expect to get ahead in college in this life, and that being able to get into a sports college is the best way out, so no matter how difficult this road is, he has to grit his teeth and go on.
If it doesn't work, I'll get up early tomorrow morning, run away, run back, I won't buy beef with the money saved, it's enough to buy a small crucian carp every two days.
The smell of fish and meat wafted from the electric frying pan, and Gong Cheng swallowed his saliva to stop Wenhao from eating a few mouthfuls, and in order to cover up his gaffe, he said nonchalantly: "The taste is okay."
"Well, I often eat it, so I figured it out." As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Hao regretted it. Didn't he mean that he had eaten a lot, what if the other party asked him for compensation?
Fortunately, Gong Cheng didn't think about it at all. He focused on the crucian carp soup, and asked absently, "Do you like fish?"
"It's okay." It's annoying to eat too much of anything, but I still eat it now because I have no choice.
"How old are you?"
"13 is old."
"I'm 12 years old and I'm studying in City No. [-] Middle School. What about you?"
City No. [-] Middle School is a key middle school, which has high requirements for children's grades, and the tuition fee is not low. Wen Hao couldn't help but look at Gong Cheng enviously: "Sixteen Middle School."
Gong Cheng received Wen Hao's envy accurately this time, and raised his chin slightly: "You can swim?"
"Well, from the city's swimming team."
"Oh." Gong Cheng wasn't too happy about being compared, "Swimming is very simple, just learn two laps and you'll be fine. It's no big deal."
"..."
"Your uncle is from the security department?"
Wen Hao looked wary.
"I have the impression that he is a good comrade." Gong Cheng said in the tone of his father.
"……thanks."
Wen Hao thought for a while, and suddenly realized that if he made Gong Cheng happy, would his uncle not be resigned?
Thinking about it this way, the knot of reluctance and reluctance was untied.
He turned his head with a smile on his face: "Swimming is very simple. If you want to learn, I will teach you." Gong Cheng snorted, wanting to say no, Wen Hao then said, "I am a member of the swimming team. It doesn't cost money to go in and swim, do you want to swim?"
Gong Cheng blinked his eyes, and his heart moved when he thought of the refreshing feeling of soaking in the pool in the hot summer.Trying to restrain himself, he nodded reservedly: "Let's see when I have time. You are so snobbish, did I mention your uncle, and you just want to curry favor with me."
"..." Wen Hao was embarrassed, his ears turned red.
Gong Cheng raised his chin: "Okay, I'm happy, just say something nice about your uncle in front of my father."
"Thank you." A smile suddenly appeared on Wen Hao's face.
The light outside the house was not good, so Gong Cheng couldn't see the smile on Wen Hao's face clearly, but he was in a good mood, so he took in another servant.
The next day, Wen Hao got up early, and his uncle just came back from the evening shift. The bowl he was holding in his hand contained six steamed buns, each of which was as big as a grown man's fist.Wen Hao poured himself a glass of warm water, took out the salted cucumbers he had pickled yesterday, and ate two of them, then he burped and stopped eating.
Uncle didn't sleep all night, and went to bed after eating. Wen Hao cleared the table and washed the dishes, put the remaining two steamed buns in his schoolbag, and said to uncle, "Uncle, I'm leaving."
Uncle fell into a drowsy sleep, looked at the time, and frowned: "It's so early."
"I plan to run away in the future and buy some beef back."
Uncle woke up and looked up at him with complicated expressions in his eyes.
Wen Hao waved to his uncle with a smile, and closed the door gently.
The air was good in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians. Wen Hao jogged along the road, which not only exercised, but also saved money. Thinking of the good way to kill two birds with one stone, he praised his wit.
When we arrived at the swimming team, the time was just right. All the team members who lived in the school walked down from the dormitory building with their swimming trunks swinging. When they saw him, they greeted him one after another. Coach Shen walked at the end.
The city swimming team can live on campus, but the living expenses of living on campus are very high. Wen Hao commutes every day. Although the travel expenses are quite a lot, it is still cheaper than living on campus.It is not reassuring for such a big child to commute. Coach Shen talked with Wen Hao twice, but Wen Hao did not agree. When Coach Shen thought about the situation in his family, he could only let it go.
Fortunately, Wen Hao is a sensible child, and his precocity makes people feel distressed. Until now, Coach Shen is still thinking about how to improve the child's living environment.
Wen Hao greeted his friends from the swimming team, and finally his eyes fell on the face of a boy of the same age next to Coach Shen.
"Shen Huafei." Wen Hao called him.
"Hey!" Shen Huafei grinned, and ran over in two or three steps.
"It's cold in the water so early." Wen Hao reminded him.
"I don't go into the water, I just come to play."
Shen Huafei is Coach Shen's son. He doesn't learn to swim, but he likes to come and play, and he can splash a few times in the water, but he is much worse than the other players.Wen Hao has a good relationship with his swimming team teammates, but he plays best with Shen Huafei.Coach Shen leads the big class, and he is the youngest one in the team. Shen Huafei is the same year, same school, same class, same row, and different row as him.Shen Huafei sat in the second row, and Wen Hao was in the bottom row, half a head shorter than Wen Hao.
The swimming pool of the municipal swimming team is open-air, a standard pool of 50x25 meters. The water was terribly cold before the sun came out in the morning, and when the sun came out, it was too hot.This is how Wen Haosai's African skin tone came out.
There are only two white spots on his body, one is around the buttocks in underwear, and the other is around the eyes with swimming goggles.
Quickly changed into swimming trunks, left the locker room without saying a word, first ran [-] laps around the swimming pool, and those who arrived first went to the cushion to stretch their tendons and press the back of their feet. After everyone kneeled in a row, Coach Shen began to arrange This morning's training mission.
Shen Huafei sat in the back bored, winking at Wen Hao.
Coach Shen noticed their little tricks and turned to stare at his son. Shen Huafei stuck out his tongue and snickered.
The training task in the morning is the heaviest. When you enter the water at nine o’clock, you have to swim until eleven o’clock. Wen Hao first entered the swimming pool at the age of five, and officially learned to swim at the age of seven. It has been six years now, and his results are the best in the team. , I swam No.3 in last year's Provincial Games.
Good results are achieved by training tens of thousands of distances. Wen Hao has long been accustomed to this kind of exercise and swims very easily.
After the training was over, the water was turned on, and the team members went to have lunch, and Wen Hao followed suit.Everyone is used to his mixed eating and drinking, Wen Hao is not annoying, he is quiet and well-behaved, and the family environment is really unbearable, so everyone will eat more when ordering vegetables.
But today Shen Huafei is here, and Wen Hao has his own special one, which is a small stir-fry made by Coach Shen for his son, and of course Wen Hao's amount is included.
Wen Hao didn't go to the cafeteria every time. He knew very well that people didn't hate him if they let him eat and drink. It's important for people to know themselves and not to bother each other all the time, so the steamed buns in the schoolbag are prepared for this time.
The author has something to say:
Because I finished writing, I was so suffocated that I didn't publish it, so I put it out in one breath!
Gong Junyou was only transferred to this hydropower station a year ago as the factory director, and his tenure is relatively long, so he brought his wife and young son with him when he came.People died in this pond two years ago, and it was for this reason that the former factory manager was transferred away, so Gong Cheng was told by his family not to play here as soon as he came.A ten-year-old child may be obedient at first, but he will definitely explore unknown areas when he is familiar with the territory. This pond is indeed his first time entering.
There are many interesting things on the edge of the pond. If there are many fish, you can see them when you lower your head. There are also big dragonflies flying on the water, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the natural scenery is attractive everywhere.Not to mention blocking people, just the scene in front of him attracted him for half a step and didn't want to leave.
Gong Cheng took the lead and took the six children to catch dragonflies and fish.
In order to make up for the previous mistakes, Zhao Pan managed to catch a big dragonfly the size of a palm: "This is a female dragonfly with a green belly. You can catch a male dragonfly, which is blue."
Gong Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard it: "How to catch?"
"Tie a rope to its belly and let it fly above its head. The male dragonfly will come in a while."
"No rope..." Gong Cheng said, his eyes fell on Wen Hao's fishing rod, he ran over in a few steps and kicked over the broken pot, tied the dragonfly to the fishing line, and ran around the pond.
Wen Hao pursed his lips, floating in the bottomless pool, silently watching them play on the shore.
Until he saw Gong Cheng kick over his fish basin, take away his fishing rod, especially throw it carelessly after pulling off the hook, two clusters of flames rose in his eyes in an instant.
This is the hook he found with great difficulty, there is no second one!
When Gong Cheng found something new, his attention was attracted.Wen Hao seized the opportunity, dived into the water, and landed quietly.
"He ran away!" It was Tian Xiaomao who discovered it first again.
"Catch him!" Gong Cheng roared domineeringly, and chased him with his fishing rod in hand. Dragonflies flew desperately beside him, and a big blue dragonfly flew towards him quietly.
Wen Hao knew the way, got into the grass, and slipped away like a mouse.
Gong Cheng was so angry that he chased after him. His friends were yelling, which could be heard a thousand meters away.
Wen Hao got out of the grass and walked onto the main road. Four adults walked towards him quickly, wearing the work clothes of the power plant, and the logo on the chest indicated that they were all regular employees of the power plant.
There is a salary of thousands of yuan a month!
Wen Hao didn't have time to think about it, the adults had already opened their mouths to ask him what was going on, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his uncle, Wen Hao ran out of the interception net nimbly like a loach, and ran away in two or three strokes.
The belated Gong Cheng and his friends were caught.
What happened later, Wen Hao didn't know.
It is said that some people were spanked that day, some were put in confinement, and some did not eat dinner.Gong Cheng was scolded by his mother for more than an hour, and he ate fried pork with bamboo shoots, leaving bright marks on his buttocks.The blue male dragonfly and the green female dragonfly flew at Gong Cheng's house for a day, and finally both died behind the sofa. When they were found, countless ants were having a feast, and then the old story was brought up again, and Gong Cheng was once again killed by her mother. Trained for half an hour.
Gong Cheng rubbed his ass and wiped his tears, hating that black boy to death.
Wen Hao returned home wet.
This so-called home is a unified dormitory arranged by the power plant for temporary workers. It is a room of more than ten square meters. When you live in it, you have a bed frame, a wardrobe and a desk.On the single iron frame bed, my uncle connected a piece of it with a stool and a wooden plank against the wall, and Wen Hao slept on it.
Uncle is at work now, and there is no one in the room. Wen Hao quickly changed his clothes and pants, and when he was hanging the clothes on the corridor, he was still thinking about the fishhook that Gong Cheng threw away, thinking about how to get it back tomorrow .
Wen Hao is in the second year of junior high school this year, and it is now the summer vacation. He goes to practice swimming every morning and afternoon, and he can get a day off on weekends.
Every weekend, Wen Hao would go fishing, and when he came back, he would boil it with plain water and add some salt, not once or twice, who knew that he would be so unlucky to meet that evil star this time.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, when he was growing tall, the canteen food that uncle brought back every day was not bad, but it was still not enough.Not weight, but nutrition.For several days, his body was sore and uncomfortable when he slept at night, and the itching feeling from the cracks in his bones made him sleepless night after night.Later he heard from Shen Huafei that it was because of poor nutrition.
Shen Huafei is the son of Coach Shen. Coach Shen is his coach in the city's swimming team. He is a very nice person. He knows his family's situation and often asks his wife to cook for him. Just like this, he can't keep up with his nutrition, so he can only think about it on his own. There is a way.
It’s not a big deal if you haven’t eaten a full-grown fish for a day. The key is the hook, which is really hard to find.
After drying the clothes, Wen Hao couldn't sit still in the room. After thinking about it, he still planned to go out to find the fishhook.
Going back to the pond again, Wen Hao walked in quietly after observing outside.
Everyone left, the pond was quiet in the afternoon, and Xia Chan was singing happily.
Thinking of that bully, Wen Hao gritted his teeth, it's great that your father is the director of the factory!Just bully people casually!Just drop my hook!Kick over my fish bowl!At once……
Wen Hao pursed his lips and stopped thinking about it. He searched his memory and found the grass. He lay down on the ground and carefully pushed aside every blade of grass. Two drops of water landed on the back of his hand.He wiped it off and continued searching.
If I had a father and a mother, what would happen? After a long time, I don't want to think about it.
Every time I think about it, I cry.
He didn't want to cry at all.
Crying is useful, even if he is blinded by crying, he still wants to bring his parents back to life, but unfortunately he can't.
The eyes that had regained their clarity suddenly fixed in one place, and the place where the line of sight fell reflected a silver luster.He stretched out his hand, and carefully pinched the small silver object with his thumb and index finger. A smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were still shining with tears, curved brightly, as satisfied as if he had obtained the whole world.
……
In the past few days, Wen Hao has been sneaking in and out of the power plant for fear of being caught by those children.Fortunately, the play area for those children is on the illuminated stadium above, and he can avoid it as long as he deliberately avoids it.
On this day, Wen Hao went home all the way while wiping his hands, his face was flushed with sweat.
It only takes about [-] minutes for the city swimming team to go to the power plant by car. He came back from a run early in the winter and summer vacation training. With the saved travel expenses, his wife bought some fresh beef. When he was ready to go home, he let his uncle stew it for him.
Pushing open the door, besides his uncle, a woman appeared in the room, and the smile on Wen Hao's face faded immediately.
After entering the room, he called out expressionlessly, "Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu's name is Liu Min, and she is my uncle's girlfriend. She was the one who contacted my uncle when he was able to work in the power plant.Liu Min is three years older than her uncle, and has a strong personality. Every time she appears, she always looks bossy, and both herself and her uncle are overwhelmed by her.
The hand holding the strap of the schoolbag tightened, not intending to take out the beef inside, this woman is the most annoying!
After Wen Hao called people, he found a corner stool and sat down quietly, his eyes fell on the face of his uncle who was eating with his head down.
My uncle is less than 30 years old this year and has no academic qualifications. Before that, he worked odd jobs on construction sites. Later, when his parents had an accident, he took him away and took him with him.There is nothing wrong with my uncle. He eats as much as he eats, and keeps in mind his mother’s last wish to keep learning swimming. He hopes that after studying physical education, he can be assigned and have a decent job.
It's a pity that my uncle is too honest, and even he, a child, can see the inferiority complex in his heart. A taciturn person, he didn't even dare to say a word when Liu Min pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Wen Hao didn't dare to let his uncle know that there was beef in his bag, and when he turned around, Liu Min would definitely take it away. This was the food he earned after running for a month.
"Eat, you! What are you doing sitting there!? You look so angry! Who gave you such a bad look?" Liu Min raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Hao, then tapped the table impatiently with her chopsticks.
There were four pots on the table, two meat, one vegetarian, and one pot of rice, which my uncle brought back from the cafeteria.The food in the power plant is really good, the meat is not to be fooled, it just tastes so-so.
Wen Hao came back from running after a day of swimming. His body was exhausted so much that his body fluid flooded his mouth. He lowered his head and dragged the bench over.
"Leave the schoolbag behind, it won't get in the way if you carry it on your back." Liu Min said again.
Wen Hao's heart tightened and he shook his head.
"I said put it down!" Liu Min, whose authority was challenged, raised his voice.
Wen Hao became more nervous and shook his head again and again.
Liu Min rolled her eyes and grabbed Wen Hao's schoolbag: "What is hidden in your bag! Take it out for me!"
Liu Min saw the trick, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and reached out to grab Wen Hao's backpack.Wen Hao was thinking about the beef in it, and he would not let go of it.Liu Min's sharp nails scratched three bloodstains on his neck, and while clutching the strap of his schoolbag, he hit him on the head several times.Wen Hao was in pain, couldn't help but raised his hand and waved it, hitting Liu Min's hand.Liu Min seemed to be crazy, jumping up and down, beating even more fiercely.
"Huang Tianjun, what are you looking at! You can't see him hitting me!! You trash! You just know how to eat and eat! What do you want to break up with! Hurry up and move me!!"
"Wen Hao!" Uncle put down his chopsticks and said in a nonchalant manner, "What are you doing?"
For a moment, all resistance turned into a joke.
Wen Hao bit his lip and let Liu Min take away his schoolbag.
Afterwards, Liu Min grasped the beef in a cloth bag and carefully wrapped in a plastic bag in his palm, pinching the scarlet beef with his slender fingers, and the nails inserted into the meat seemed to be scratching Wen Hao's heart.
"What is this? Beef? Where did you steal it?"
Wen Hao pouted his lips: "I didn't steal it, I saved money to buy it."
"What did you save to buy?"
"Travel expenses... I came back from a run, and my wife bought it."
"What are you buying this thing for? You just know that it's useless to eat and drink! You spend money all day long! You don't have the nerve to ask for money if you don't take a car! You're going to lie! You don't want to take a car, do you? Then you'll walk from now on return!"
Wen Hao pursed his lips and did not speak.
Liu Min put the beef back into his pocket and put it on the table in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
This beef is indeed good beef. The teacher's wife knows his situation, so she bought it for him with her own money. The authentic yellow beef weighs more than four catties. It is heavy in the hand, and it looks honest.
Wen Hao wants to come back.
Liu Min glared at him viciously, and weighed the weight of the beef in her heart, probably with half a month's salary of hers.
Wen Hao lowered his head and ate silently, tears welling in his eyes.
The uncle couldn't see it, so he said: "Haohao is growing up, I asked him to buy this beef..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Min smashed the chopsticks with a "snap", with such force that one of the chopsticks bounced to his uncle's face, interrupting the rest of his uncle's words.
"What do you mean by that? Why did I treat him so harshly? Without me, you are still living in the shed! What happened to my share of beef!? Huang Tianjun, you have grown up now, don't you? Dare to talk back, don't you? I am today Make it clear! You have to continue with me! Get rid of this oil bottle! I have no intention of being a stepmother!"
"You..." Uncle was in a hurry, and the clay figurine was also very hot-tempered. After being slapped in the face by a woman, he threw his rice bowl on the table and stood up.
Liu Min took a step back in fright, rolled her eyes, and stared round again: "What do you want to do!? What do you want to hit me!? You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!! You want to break up with me, don't you! Ah! Don't you! ! Hit me and try!! Try!! I can let you in, and I can let you go!!"
Uncle was dumbfounded, he was cowardly by nature, not to mention that this job was unprecedentedly good, he didn't have to worry about food and housing, and he could even feed his nephew. With his abilities, it was indeed impossible to find a job better than this.
Liu Min regained the upper hand, and smiled triumphantly: "Huang Tianjun, I'll put my words here. Do you want a job and a wife or a fool, you can figure it out yourself, I'm not a stepmother!"
After Liu Min said these words, he took the beef generously, turned around and left.
Wen Hao looked at Liu Min's back, and then at his uncle who was sitting back on the stool after exhausting his strength, his eyes were terrified.
The accident happened suddenly to his parents, and his father didn't even have any relatives. Only his uncle could support him. He wanted to have some ambition to live on his own, but he still needed to swim and study, which cost money.
He has no money.
"Uncle..." Wen Hao said timidly.
"Stop talking, eat." The greatest benefit of being cowardly is that he can regulate himself no matter how bullied he is. Uncle sighed, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Wen Hao got used to it, he didn't expect his uncle to quarrel with Liu Min at all, as long as he didn't lose himself.
After dinner, it was still bright daylight. My uncle was on the night shift today, so he left after dinner.
After Wen Hao cleared the table and washed the dishes, he thought for a while, and went to the pond with the fishing rod and fish basin.
The beef was taken away by Liu Min, he had to find a way to supplement nutrition, the easiest way was to fish and eat.
The pond of the power plant has existed since the construction of the plant, and fish fry were put into it during the period, so there were a lot of fish. Later, people died, and almost no one went to the pond, and the fish in it flooded.
Good fishing.
Wen Hao dug two earthworms in a nearby stinking ditch, and caught two crucian carp weighing about one catty in less than 10 minutes.The fresh live fish swim happily in the water basin, and the grievances brought by Liu Min can be considered to have dissipated a lot.
It was getting dark, Wen Hao rushed home in a hurry, not paying attention to the figure following him, and thought that the fish could be fried and eaten.
When I arrived at the dormitory building and went up to the second floor, as soon as I opened the door, I was hit hard and pushed into the room with my neck stuck.
The room was dark and quiet, Wen Hao was pushed to the ground, the basin in his hand fell to the ground, and two chubby big fish flapped their tails.
There was a person riding behind him, and before he could see who it was, he was punched heavily in the head.
Then the person behind said triumphantly: "Stinky boy! Why do you think I can't catch you? Hide! I'll see where you are hiding! Beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Wen Hao was beaten into a daze, but it was Gong Cheng who spoke behind him.
Gong Cheng was very proud of riding on Wen Hao. Thinking about his ass being beaten a few days ago, and thinking about how he calmly found out who Wen Hao was, and how rarely he followed him patiently. This move won the victory. I'm so happy just thinking about it.
Ever since he lost someone in the pond that day, he has been thinking about this black boy all the time, wanting to press him down and beat him up all the time, and he can't even sleep well at night.Just thinking about how to beat this kid to tears and make him beg himself with tears, no sarcasm can be seen in those big black round eyes.
Gong Cheng was beating and scolding while thinking, until he came back to his senses, only to find that the boy under him didn't cry, make noise, or talk, and didn't even struggle.
Oops!
You won't be beaten to death by yourself!
Gong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he fell to the ground in fright, and looked at the other party in a daze.In a dark room, a person was lying motionless in front of him. Two crucian carp flapped their tails weakly, breathing hard with their mouths wide open.
"Hey!" Gong Cheng kicked the opponent with his foot.
no response.
"Get up! Don't pretend to be dead!" He kicked again.
Still no response.
Cold sweat broke out on Gong Cheng's back, he crawled over little by little, and reached out to touch Wen Hao's nose.
Wen Hao, who was motionless, suddenly put his arms on the ground at this moment, and sat up straight.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Gong Cheng almost peed in fright.
"Crack!" The lamp was pulled away by Wen Hao, and the yellow light sprinkled every corner of the room, making it bright.
Gong Cheng was ashamed of his panic just now, with a sullen face, he stood against the wall very unhappy, his long and narrow red phoenix eyes were as green as a wild wolf, trying to figure out how to bite that black and thin body Only fatal.
Wen Hao turned on the light, picked up the fish, wiped off all the water stains on the ground, and then looked up at Gong Cheng.The amber eyes were a little dazed, and the expressionless face looked very tired. That kind of decadent expression didn't look like a 13-year-old child at all.
Gong Cheng still couldn't understand the expression on his face. Seeing Wen Hao looking at him, he immediately stared back. The one grinning was a little beast.Seeing Wen Hao take a step towards him, he immediately bared his teeth in displeasure, Wen Hao was half a head taller than him, although he would fall down as soon as he blew dryly, but he didn't like looking up at people, so he took the initiative to take a step back , stare!
Seeing him like this, Wen Hao stopped moving, his back and head hurt, and his temper was wiped out by what happened today. When he remembered the identity of the other party, now he just wanted to calm down.
"I won't go fishing in the future, I will return these two fish later, is that okay?"
Gong Cheng snorted, dissatisfied. Wen Hao's cowardly behavior looked good, but he neither cried bitterly nor begged in despair.
The fist was about to move, and he wanted to make persistent efforts to make him cry, but his eyes fell on the opponent's neck unexpectedly.Wen Hao's neck was slender, and his complexion was a bit paler than his face. There were three bloodstains on it, which were much bigger than a cat's paw. They were either scratched by branches or scratched by women.
Not too happy that his prey was bitten by someone before, Gong Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Which wild woman caught your neck?"
Wen Hao felt that the three words "wild woman" were used very delicately. If Liu Min was wild, then he and Gong Cheng were still close?
Let him choose him without relying on anyone, neither of them is a good thing.
"..."
Wen Hao was silent, but Gong Cheng was unhappy, and flicked his fingers on his arm: "Ask you!"
"You don't care!" Wen Hao squeezed the fish basin tightly, "Get out of the way, I'll pour the fish."
"No! Let it go if you say so! I'm not very shameless!"
"..." Crazy, Wen Hao looked at the other party, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.
Gong Cheng quarreled purely for the sake of quarreling. After he finished speaking, he felt that the logic was wrong, and added, "I don't want this fish if it's dead! You have to pay me two!"
Wen Hao squeezed the basin tightly, turned around without saying a word, and pulled out a kitchen knife from the table.
Gong Cheng's face changed slightly. Seeing the position of the door, he was ready to flee at any moment.
Wen Hao took out the scissors again, grabbed the fish and exposed its belly, opened it up neatly, scraped off the scales and removed the gills, the scarlet liquid stained the water in a basin, and the whole room smelled of fish.
While Gong Cheng frowned in disgust, he opened his bright eyes wide and watched Wen Hao kill the fish for a moment.Of course he has seen killing fish, but not many times. His mother is not very good at cooking, and his father is not very good at cooking. There is a helper at home, and occasionally he will go to the cafeteria to eat fried food.Seeing people kill fish like this with my own eyes is still a boy around my age, doing this kind of work with neat hands and feet, and the skillful and smooth movements make people unable to take their eyes off.
After killing the fish, Wen Hao walked towards Gong Cheng with a basin of scarlet blood soaked in the fish carcasses, and said in a calm and weak tone, "If I cook fish for you to eat, I won't compensate you for the fish, okay?" ?”
Gong Cheng froze for a moment, turned his eyes away from the shocking blood, and looked at Wen Hao.
Wen Hao had a bruised and black patch on his cheek, and he didn't know if he hit it himself.He was wearing a white vest that didn't fit well, and half a small pink bead could be seen in the baggy shape. Underneath was a pair of knee-high shorts, which didn't fit well. In short, he looked like a dirty child.But the other party's face was not dirty, especially the eyes, which were big and round and beautiful, with thick and long eyelashes curled up, like two rustling small fans brushing.The bridge of the nose isn't too straight, but it's not too flat. The lips are a little thick, especially the lower lip is plump and moist. It's not difficult to catch the eye, and it's even quite attractive, especially when the other party slightly draws the eye feathers and asks about him, he looks very docile.An extraordinarily comfortable feeling flowed through his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he had already nodded.
Wen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
Gong Cheng looked at the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood immediately improved.
There is no sink in the dormitory, Wen Hao carefully cleaned the fish in the sink at the end of the corridor.When I went back to the house, I took out the electric frying pan and a small bowl of lard, plugged it in, the lard melted in the hot pan, and put the cleaned crucian carp into the hot oil.
"Crash-"
Gong Cheng opened his eyes wide, watching Wen Hao make fish like watching his favorite cartoon.
Fry crucian carp with lard, then pour water, when the water boils, put a piece of ginger, cover the pot, and cook crucian carp soup.
He originally planned to eat fried fish today, but with Gong Cheng here, he might be able to save some for himself if he ate crucian carp soup. It would be better if the other party didn't understand the goods and thought fish was the best thing.
Thinking that he would no longer be able to go fishing in the future, and Liu Min would take away the beef, he felt stuffy in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to swim well if he was not nourished enough, or tall enough.
Swimming is very hard, and it is even more difficult to learn to swim when the food and housing are not good.But he had to go.Ever since his parents passed away, he knew that he should not expect to get ahead in college in this life, and that being able to get into a sports college is the best way out, so no matter how difficult this road is, he has to grit his teeth and go on.
If it doesn't work, I'll get up early tomorrow morning, run away, run back, I won't buy beef with the money saved, it's enough to buy a small crucian carp every two days.
The smell of fish and meat wafted from the electric frying pan, and Gong Cheng swallowed his saliva to stop Wenhao from eating a few mouthfuls, and in order to cover up his gaffe, he said nonchalantly: "The taste is okay."
"Well, I often eat it, so I figured it out." As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Hao regretted it. Didn't he mean that he had eaten a lot, what if the other party asked him for compensation?
Fortunately, Gong Cheng didn't think about it at all. He focused on the crucian carp soup, and asked absently, "Do you like fish?"
"It's okay." It's annoying to eat too much of anything, but I still eat it now because I have no choice.
"How old are you?"
"13 is old."
"I'm 12 years old and I'm studying in City No. [-] Middle School. What about you?"
City No. [-] Middle School is a key middle school, which has high requirements for children's grades, and the tuition fee is not low. Wen Hao couldn't help but look at Gong Cheng enviously: "Sixteen Middle School."
Gong Cheng received Wen Hao's envy accurately this time, and raised his chin slightly: "You can swim?"
"Well, from the city's swimming team."
"Oh." Gong Cheng wasn't too happy about being compared, "Swimming is very simple, just learn two laps and you'll be fine. It's no big deal."
"..."
"Your uncle is from the security department?"
Wen Hao looked wary.
"I have the impression that he is a good comrade." Gong Cheng said in the tone of his father.
"……thanks."
Wen Hao thought for a while, and suddenly realized that if he made Gong Cheng happy, would his uncle not be resigned?
Thinking about it this way, the knot of reluctance and reluctance was untied.
He turned his head with a smile on his face: "Swimming is very simple. If you want to learn, I will teach you." Gong Cheng snorted, wanting to say no, Wen Hao then said, "I am a member of the swimming team. It doesn't cost money to go in and swim, do you want to swim?"
Gong Cheng blinked his eyes, and his heart moved when he thought of the refreshing feeling of soaking in the pool in the hot summer.Trying to restrain himself, he nodded reservedly: "Let's see when I have time. You are so snobbish, did I mention your uncle, and you just want to curry favor with me."
"..." Wen Hao was embarrassed, his ears turned red.
Gong Cheng raised his chin: "Okay, I'm happy, just say something nice about your uncle in front of my father."
"Thank you." A smile suddenly appeared on Wen Hao's face.
The light outside the house was not good, so Gong Cheng couldn't see the smile on Wen Hao's face clearly, but he was in a good mood, so he took in another servant.
The next day, Wen Hao got up early, and his uncle just came back from the evening shift. The bowl he was holding in his hand contained six steamed buns, each of which was as big as a grown man's fist.Wen Hao poured himself a glass of warm water, took out the salted cucumbers he had pickled yesterday, and ate two of them, then he burped and stopped eating.
Uncle didn't sleep all night, and went to bed after eating. Wen Hao cleared the table and washed the dishes, put the remaining two steamed buns in his schoolbag, and said to uncle, "Uncle, I'm leaving."
Uncle fell into a drowsy sleep, looked at the time, and frowned: "It's so early."
"I plan to run away in the future and buy some beef back."
Uncle woke up and looked up at him with complicated expressions in his eyes.
Wen Hao waved to his uncle with a smile, and closed the door gently.
The air was good in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians. Wen Hao jogged along the road, which not only exercised, but also saved money. Thinking of the good way to kill two birds with one stone, he praised his wit.
When we arrived at the swimming team, the time was just right. All the team members who lived in the school walked down from the dormitory building with their swimming trunks swinging. When they saw him, they greeted him one after another. Coach Shen walked at the end.
The city swimming team can live on campus, but the living expenses of living on campus are very high. Wen Hao commutes every day. Although the travel expenses are quite a lot, it is still cheaper than living on campus.It is not reassuring for such a big child to commute. Coach Shen talked with Wen Hao twice, but Wen Hao did not agree. When Coach Shen thought about the situation in his family, he could only let it go.
Fortunately, Wen Hao is a sensible child, and his precocity makes people feel distressed. Until now, Coach Shen is still thinking about how to improve the child's living environment.
Wen Hao greeted his friends from the swimming team, and finally his eyes fell on the face of a boy of the same age next to Coach Shen.
"Shen Huafei." Wen Hao called him.
"Hey!" Shen Huafei grinned, and ran over in two or three steps.
"It's cold in the water so early." Wen Hao reminded him.
"I don't go into the water, I just come to play."
Shen Huafei is Coach Shen's son. He doesn't learn to swim, but he likes to come and play, and he can splash a few times in the water, but he is much worse than the other players.Wen Hao has a good relationship with his swimming team teammates, but he plays best with Shen Huafei.Coach Shen leads the big class, and he is the youngest one in the team. Shen Huafei is the same year, same school, same class, same row, and different row as him.Shen Huafei sat in the second row, and Wen Hao was in the bottom row, half a head shorter than Wen Hao.
The swimming pool of the municipal swimming team is open-air, a standard pool of 50x25 meters. The water was terribly cold before the sun came out in the morning, and when the sun came out, it was too hot.This is how Wen Haosai's African skin tone came out.
There are only two white spots on his body, one is around the buttocks in underwear, and the other is around the eyes with swimming goggles.
Quickly changed into swimming trunks, left the locker room without saying a word, first ran [-] laps around the swimming pool, and those who arrived first went to the cushion to stretch their tendons and press the back of their feet. After everyone kneeled in a row, Coach Shen began to arrange This morning's training mission.
Shen Huafei sat in the back bored, winking at Wen Hao.
Coach Shen noticed their little tricks and turned to stare at his son. Shen Huafei stuck out his tongue and snickered.
The training task in the morning is the heaviest. When you enter the water at nine o’clock, you have to swim until eleven o’clock. Wen Hao first entered the swimming pool at the age of five, and officially learned to swim at the age of seven. It has been six years now, and his results are the best in the team. , I swam No.3 in last year's Provincial Games.
Good results are achieved by training tens of thousands of distances. Wen Hao has long been accustomed to this kind of exercise and swims very easily.
After the training was over, the water was turned on, and the team members went to have lunch, and Wen Hao followed suit.Everyone is used to his mixed eating and drinking, Wen Hao is not annoying, he is quiet and well-behaved, and the family environment is really unbearable, so everyone will eat more when ordering vegetables.
But today Shen Huafei is here, and Wen Hao has his own special one, which is a small stir-fry made by Coach Shen for his son, and of course Wen Hao's amount is included.
Wen Hao didn't go to the cafeteria every time. He knew very well that people didn't hate him if they let him eat and drink. It's important for people to know themselves and not to bother each other all the time, so the steamed buns in the schoolbag are prepared for this time.
The author has something to say:
Because I finished writing, I was so suffocated that I didn't publish it, so I put it out in one breath!
