He Ping sat on the chair, frowned, and asked, "No matter what you think, it's wrong to accuse students of other classes in public, not to mention that you are the monitor of the science class, and you should set an example. This time I won't tell you Care about it, but remember to apologize to those two classmates."

Xu Yanxin was silent.

He Ping frowned: "Are you not convinced?"

He raised his head, looked straight at He Ping and said, "Teacher, is it right to use your family background to slander other students? Why should I apologize? I can apologize for affecting other students, but I cannot accept apologizing to them. I did nothing wrong."

He continued with He Ping's gloomy eyes: "Teacher, I'm going back to class."

When returning to class, Xu Yanxin received attention.He knew that most of the students in No. [-] Middle School were discussing his violent debate, and when he calmed down, he wondered if he had caused Jiang Yu more trouble.When he was hesitating, Fang Keshi put his arms around his shoulders and said: "Xinxin, you are so cool. Only you dare to insult the principal at the flag-raising ceremony. I have long been displeased with his appearance. Good grades are the best." Everything, poor grades seem to be unworthy of existence.”

Xu Yanxin didn't bother to explain, he wasn't complaining about the principal, so he turned around and asked, "Why do you call me Xinxin?" Fang Keshi winked and said, "Calling anything else can't reflect the close relationship between us."

"But I won't ask you Shi Shi."

Fang Keshi strangled his neck and kneaded him. After class, he turned his head quietly. Fang Keshi followed his gaze and said, "I heard from others that he asked Lao He for leave. He said he had something to do at home and went back. By the way, did you know that the foundation asked the students receiving subsidies to use schoolbags, stationery, shoes made by their brand, and even specially sent a basketball to Jiangyu. I don’t know what to think, who Want to play with a basketball that says 'Loving Aid Project'?"

Xu Yanxin stood up in a huff before Fang Ke said, "What are you doing?"

"To the restroom."

He listened to lectures, wrote homework, and memorized vocabulary sullenly. Jiang Yu didn't send him a text message until after school. He became more and more suspicious that his debate was not helpful.Maybe it is, he claims to stand up for justice, but for others, he may be meddling in his own business.

He took two mouthfuls of food, put down his chopsticks with little interest, and got up to go upstairs.But Shen Feng pushed him back to the chair. Shen Feng stroked his head with his big hand and asked, "It's rare for me to come back for dinner. Why are you sighing?" to him.He didn't say anything at first, and Shen Feng wasn't annoyed, he peeled a hairy crab and handed it to him, while Xu Zhao frowned slightly, cut short all the hairy legs of the hairy crab, and put it in his bowl.

His eyes suddenly became sour, and under the pressure of his parents, he concealed his name and roughly talked about it.After listening, Shen Feng said: "The principal and the donor's actions are indeed inhumane. They ignore the self-esteem of the students. It's just a charity show. I feel sorry for your little classmate. But, do you still have such students in your class? I haven't heard you mention it, don't you all have to run around to participate in the competition in your math class?" Xu Yanxin was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's not from our class, I'm just assuming."

Xu Zhaodao: "Although the approach is biased, the donor's money is not blown by the wind after all, and it is only natural to ask for proper publicity."

Xu Yanxin said: "However, enterprises have the 'benefits' of government subsidies in doing charity. His move even made a living advertisement in the school, and then asked students to write thank you letters. Isn't it possible to use the utensils they made? Consumer charity?"

Xu Zhao glanced at him and asked, "Why are you so excited?"

He whispered: "I'm not fair about this. Since it is out of good intentions to give back to the alma mater to help students, why can't we be more considerate of the dignity of the recipients? Good charity should not be alms from above, but standing on the ground. Think about problems from their point of view and help them." Shen Feng followed his back and said with relief: "Our Xinxin is just following me, with a kind heart. I think you are right, the current charity is indeed becoming more and more high-profile , lost the original meaning of charity.”

Xu Zhao took the opportunity to say: "So if you want to change all of this, standing up to support that student is ineffective. It will have no effect except to embarrass others. Now that you are a student, study hard and gain more Good resources are what you should do. As for the rest, you leave it to adults to worry about."

Xu Yanxin slandered in a low voice: "Isn't this teaching me to be insensitive? I ignore these things now, but can I still be passionate about them when I grow up? This is simply a paradox."

Hearing his complaints, Shen Feng rubbed his hair and said, "Go up and study, Dad will cook eight-treasure rice for you later." When he walked upstairs, he heard Shen Feng and Xu Zhao arguing in a low voice downstairs.

He closed the door and buried himself in his pillow.After a few seconds, he turned on his phone, but there was still no reply from Jiang Yu.He sighed and turned on the desk lamp. It turned out that there were so few things he could do.

The next day, Jiang Yu still didn't come to school.

He felt uneasy. After school, instead of staying in school to do his homework, he came to Heijie. The front of the monkey school was tightly closed, and traces of the old fire could be seen from the walls and floors.He didn't know the address of Jiangyu, except here, it was empty.When he was in distress, the businessman next door asked, "Are you looking for that uncle?"

He hesitated and said that he was a student living in the attic. The boss smiled and said that the boss was his cousin. Everyone called the boss Maohou and gave him Maohou's phone number.He hurriedly asked about Jiangyu's address, and the man was puzzled and said, "I don't know where they live now, but I know his mother opened a wonton shop on Xingfu Street, maybe he went back to his mother's house." Xu Yanxin said Thank you, the boss said again: "Hey, you're welcome. But I'm not sure. He heard from Maohou that the relationship between their mother and son is not good, and the eldest son doesn't care about his mother's baby's newborn son."

At the end of September, the weather is getting colder.He took a taxi to Xingfu Street, and after walking two steps, he saw a wonton shop.He was hesitant to enter the door when he saw several boys pushing a fat boy. The boy looked back at him in a daze, then rushed into the wonton shop as if he had made up his mind, yelling fiercely Said: "Mom, give me the money, the school needs to buy books."

A middle-aged female voice replied in a local dialect: "Didn't you just buy it a few days ago, why did you buy it again?" But she still fumbled in the bib and stuffed the money for him, but the boy said angrily: "This How can it be enough? At least one hundred."

"Why do you want so much money!"

"Don't worry about it, give it to me quickly."

At this time, a tall figure brushed Xu Yanxin's shoulder and walked in, hooked the boy's schoolbag, and dragged him out. When the boy passed by him, there was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes, but he still threw the boy in front of the group of friends without looking back. The boys saw that Jiangyu was tall and powerful, and they quickly yelled "Bird!" The sparrows were gone, Jiang Yu loosened his wrists, and the boy opposite showed fear in his eyes, obviously he was often beaten.

The boy scratched his neck and yelled, "I knew that nothing good would happen when you came back."

Jiang Yu took two steps towards him, and he crouched down, trembling.Xu Yanxin stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yu's arm, motioning him to look at the surrounding crowd. Jiang Yu frowned and swept away, and the crowd looked away, but Xu Yanxin still heard someone whisper, "It's not that brothers are different after all. ", Jiang Yu kicked the boy's calf and didn't speak.

The boy raised his red eyes unwillingly, and said, "It's none of your business, I'll ask you, it's none of your business! My surname is Zhao, not Jiang! Why are you meddling in my own business!" Jiang Yu pretended to kick He, Xu Yanxin grabbed his clothes, and Jiang Yu retracted his legs.Jiang Yu pointed to his nose and said, "I don't care what your surname is. If you want money to take those bastards to the game hall, you know in your heart that you are a fucking coward. How dare you ask you for money?" Are you so awesome?"

Jiang Yu walked faster than him, and he walked to the corner of the alley two steps ahead, his heels against the wall, hiding in the shadow cast by the eaves with an obscure expression, as if waiting for him to speak.Xu Yanxin thought about it, took out the notebook from his schoolbag and handed it to him, Jiang Yu took it, but didn't turn it over.He said in a timely manner: "This is today's class notes, you go back and organize them."

"That's why you're looking for me?"

"No, not all," he wanted to say that I was worried about you, but Jiang Yu's face was very bad and he was extremely impatient, so he said, "Was that your brother just now? Was he bullied by those classmates? I think You can talk to him, maybe he has difficulties."

Jiang Yu stepped out of the shadows, stood in front of him, and said to him in a cold voice, "Is that why you lack friends?"

The tone was indifferent, just like when they first met.

Xu Yanxin's face turned pale, but she still insisted and said, "I've delivered the notes...then I'll go first." Xu Yanxin concealed his sadness, holding the bag strap hanging down, and left his sight.

Jiang Yu looked at the round head going away, but pursed his lips tightly.The notebook in his hand had a brand-new cover, but inside he wrote several pages profusely, detailing everything.He gritted his teeth and couldn't help squatting on the ground.Depend on.

Xu Yanxin has never been anxious with anyone, nor has she been ridiculed face to face by her classmates.But ever since he met Jiangyu, these two incidents were the first of its kind. He kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, feeling depressed, but when he remembered what the boss said, he regarded it as a dog barking, barking.

Wang.

He doesn't seem so angry anymore!When he arrived at the school gate, Xu Zhao's car was already parked at the gate, and he was holding his mobile phone to make a call. He frowned and put it back in his pocket when he saw his figure.Xu Zhao took his schoolbag and suddenly asked, "How did you come from that direction?"

Xu Yanxin was taken aback, and quickly said, "I just went to buy a bottle of water to drink."

Xu Zhao didn't get suspicious, just said: "I'm afraid it's a drink." He hesitated and looked out the window, Xu Zhao thought he had been caught, so he squinted at him and continued: "It's all artificial. What’s so good about additives? By the way, our family will go to Boston to visit your cousin on National Day, and I’ve already told your tutor. I checked the art exhibition by the way. It’s still going on in Boston.”

Xu Yanxin responded, not very interested.

Xu Zhao looked at him strangely, and he smiled as if he had realized it.Only he himself knew that his dimples were about to be filled with worry.

Jiang Yu stood in the small kitchen to choose dishes for Wang Rong, while Wang Rong said to him in a spy voice: "When Congcong's father comes back later, you must not mention money."

"He doesn't look at the store's account?"

Wang Rong was taken aback by the question, and told me with an irrelevant answer: "Anyway, don't bring it up, or he will use the excuse to say that I don't wholeheartedly serve our little family. You live here now, and I will go to your father to settle the score in two days. , it was he who was going to give birth back then, how could he have the nerve not to pay a penny, just let me be unlucky, and you should also pay attention to it, don't be like a junior high school anymore."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, Wang Rong wanted to say more, he threw the selected vegetables into the basin, and said calmly: "Remember to say hello to uncle, I will make up lessons for Zhao Cong at night, I will remember." He was inexplicably fierce, cursed twice in the local dialect, and muttered, "I don't call you brother".

"Ask him, does he think I'm his brother?"

Wang Rong choked.

For dinner in the evening, Wang Rong made three dishes and one soup, and Zhao Cong sat down with chopsticks on Jiangyu, complaining: "Mom, didn't I say that I don't want to eat leeks today, why are you cooking scrambled eggs with leeks again? "

Wang Rong hurriedly asked him what he wanted to eat and bought it for her tomorrow. Zhao Cong glanced at Brother Cheap who was setting the tableware, and smiled triumphantly. Jiang Yu ignored him.After waiting for a few minutes, there was a sound of opening the door. Zhao Jianguo had just got off work and was carrying a briefcase. He had a bad complexion. As soon as he entered the door, he cursed and spoke ill of the section chief. When he saw Jiang Yu, he showed a stagnant smile. Said: "Xiao Jiang is here."

Jiang Yu said hello to Uncle, Zhao Jianguo said good, good, turned his head and cast a questioning look at Wang Rong, Wang Rong winked at him twice, everything was kept silent.
