Chapter 25 'Romeo and Juliet' (Part 2)

"Romeo and Juliet"?

Hi, isn’t it the household tragedy of love that is well-known? Not to mention Tong Tong, even elementary school students know it. He said sternly: “Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s four major tragedies. By describing the love tragedy of the male and female protagonists, it exposes the pedanticity of the feudal patriarchy and praises the young men and women who pursue freedom…”

"Well, it's right, but Shakespeare's four major tragedies do not have this one, it can be regarded as a tragedy comedy."

“…”

Teacher Meng was amused by his confused look, and then said seriously: "Have you read this script?"

“…that’s not.”

"Then do you know, Romeo didn't like Juliet at the beginning?"

“…”

The conversation gradually developed in an unpredictable direction of Tong Tong, which made him very panicked. After that, he was about to expose his ignorance in front of Teacher Meng again.

Teacher Meng said: "The girl Romeo liked at the beginning was called Rosalam. He was very painful. In order to pursue Rosalam, he put on a mask and sneaked into the banquet held by his enemy's family, which is the one held by Juliet's family. Originally, Romeo was going to pursue Rosalam, but when he saw Juliet as beautiful as a fairy, he forgot Rosalam and became fascinated by Juliet."

"...How could he do this? I thought he was very affectionate, but it turned out that he was just a loving man who was dissatisfied with others."

"It is true that he is indifferent and affection. I just want to tell you that people may not like only one person in their lifetime. Everyone may be Romeo. He is in great pain because he cannot pursue Rosalam. But after meeting Juliet, he becomes dedicated and even willing to give up his life for Juliet. This is what I want to tell you, you are only eighteen years old, you are still the Romeo who has not entered the banquet hall, and your world is only Rosalam. When you put on a mask, enter the banquet hall, and meet a better Juliet, you can determine who you like."

It is worthy of being Teacher Meng, and even rejecting him is so polite. Tong Tong was stunned when he heard it, but he was honest: "Anyway, I am not Romeo. If I fall in love with Rosalam, I will always like it. No matter how beautiful Juliet is, it has nothing to do with me."

"You can go to college first. Before that, I will pretend that I haven't heard what you said."

Tong Tong was very anxious, but he became more and more determined: "Then let's take the college entrance exam! I will definitely get one! I will read a lot of books! I will make you look at it with admiration!"

This time, Teacher Meng did not stop and did not respond to him, but quickly left the ward. Tong Tong was extremely disappointed, but he did not regret it. And after he said it, there was no room for regret, so he could only give it a try.

Because, whether it is to explore her secrets or touch her feelings, all the premise is to "get into college".

As soon as Teacher Meng left, Lao Tong returned to the ward. He tiptoed, afraid that he would make his adopted son unhappy. Tong Tong regretted it, but didn't want to see his timid look, so he said, "You are me, I'm not doing well, you said that, are you still afraid of me?"

The word "I" is rounding up to mean that he calls him dad. Old Tong is happy, so why are he still skeptical about him?

Lao Tong told him that the Zhang family had already paid the money. With the medical expenses, Zhang Yongming gave Lao Tong 10,000 yuan. Lao Tong hadn't touched such a thick stack of money for a long time, and didn't know whether he should take it, because his psychological expectations were very low. As long as someone paid the medical expenses, that would be fine. This thousand yuan would be worth his salary for half a year.

Zhang Yongming explained to him this way: "I have been in the lawsuit for so many years and I know that it is a hundred days of injury. Your son has at least three months of recovery period. This time is not short. I estimate the recovery time to compensate. What's more, now in the critical period of the college entrance examination, his brain and hands are injured to varying degrees, which is a big blow to a pro-college candidate. In addition, I heard that there are many items in your family that have been damaged, and I have also taken into account the local prices and made some compensation. Do you want to pay the subsequent medical expenses in one lump sum, or do I reimburse after settlement? You decide for yourself. Of course, if you think I have not paid enough, we can sit down and discuss and see if I have any negligence."

Lao Tong remembered his conversation with Zhang Yongming and sighed: "Mr. Zhang is really famous and is a kind-hearted person. He said that if he has any requests, he can contact him at any time. He also gave me a business card, which is so impressive."

"Then have you decided? What should I do if the subsequent medical expenses are paid?"

"Of course we will finish reading first and then ask him to reimburse him!" Lao Tong said firmly: "Although I have the opportunity to blackmail, am I that kind of person? I am not! We can apply as much as we spend."

Tong Tong secretly gave a thumbs up. Although Old Tong was so poor, he was so poor that he was also so poor that he was very kind.

Old Tong went to work soon and could not come to take care of him every day, so Tong Tong was rushing to be discharged from the hospital. Old Tong said he would not agree and insisted on letting him recover from his injuries. Moreover, Tong Tong's good friend volunteered to take care of him, especially Sun Chengcai, who came to deliver food every day. After Old Tong went to work, he became a bedmate, staying on the sofa in the ward to read online novels every day.

Sun Chengcai is not tall, but weighs a lot. She pants after walking a few steps. Because she came to accompany the bed, his mother cooked delicious food every day and asked him to deliver it to Tong Tong. In addition to the common rice, there were also abalone porridge, mackerel dumplings, beef soup, and stewed pig's trotters... These nourishing foods have almost never stopped, and she made two servings at one time. So Sun Chengcai stayed with the bed for a few days and gained weight again.

Tong Tong's patient meal was far less than Zhang Yaoyao's, but he was very content and full of gratitude to Sun Chengcai's mother. His hands were not very straightforward and it was very difficult to use a spoon. Sun Chengcai asked, "Why, I'll feed you?"

"roll!"

Tong Tong likes Sun's mother very much, but he doesn't want Sun Chengcai to accompany him. If he doesn't come, Teacher Meng will definitely not stand by. It is precisely because he is so diligent (in fact, he just finds a warm and comfortable place to read novels without his parents' nagging), Teacher Meng is relieved not to come.

When Sun Chengcai curled up on the sofa to read novels again, Tong Tong said irritably: "Teacher Meng asked you to come, why did you come?"

"Even if I don't come, my mother has to come. She cares about you and is always worried that you won't have enough food."

"I know these...ah, if you don't come, others will come. What can you do when you come?"

Sun Chengcai was also a little unsophisticated and had no experience in love. He simply thought Tong Tong despised him, so he lay on the sofa angrily: "Do you think I am willing to serve you? I'm sleeping, don't call me if you have nothing to do!"

Tong Tong couldn't sleep. He listened to the sound of firecrackers outside and realized that the year had not passed. He was quietly flipping through the book, while Sun Chengcai snored and was not moved. Until twelve o'clock in the evening, Sun Chengcai got up to drink a sip of water and found that Tong Tong was still studying hard. He didn't care about everything in the world.

"Hey, you're not well yet. You're not alive? You're not sleeping yet?"

"Yes." Tong Tong didn't raise his head: "I have no way out. If I can't get one, I will look down on myself in my life."

"One book?"

Sun Chengcai was shocked and couldn't bear to disturb him anymore. He unknowingly took his hands and feet, poured him a glass of water, and then lay down and fell asleep again. Before he fell asleep, he asked himself a question for a long time - Tong Tong found his life goal, what about him? Is he satisfied if he really inherited the barbecue restaurant?

But he fell asleep without thinking too much. When he woke up the next morning, he had already decided to go home and inherit the barbecue restaurant.

The next morning, Tong Tong was lying in bed in a daze. He was too focused and his eyes were still moving. Sun Chengcai almost thought he had died suddenly.

"Old Sun, do you know "Romeo and Juliet"?"

Sun Chengcai felt inexplicably: "Who doesn't know this? Did you fall in love with the daughter of your enemy?"

"How is it possible? I want to ask you, do you know who Romeo is a lover?"

“…Isn’t it Juliet?”

Sun Chengcai was confused, but Tong Tong smiled proudly, as if he had grasped another unknown secret. He couldn't help but want to be proud. He said, "On this year's birthday, you can give me a complete set of Shakespeare!"

"...Your head is really broken? Why do you just say these unprofound words? Why do you want Shakespeare's complete works? Could it be that you want to take the drama school?"

"Life is like a play, there is no harm in seeing more, just say that."

Sun Chengcai agreed, but when he found out the price of the complete set, his legs became weak and he sat on the sofa. It took about 100 yuan to find the cheapest set. It was okay to think about it! After all, he was going to college, so it was nothing to give him a set of books.

Sun Chengcai was wondering why he suddenly became interested in drama. Niu Changqing brought a lot of food to come to see Tong Tong. The more the New Year came, the busier he became. He was unshaven and his collar was dirty. It seemed that he didn't go home after the night shift, so he looked at Tong Tong directly.

"Boy, the guy who fights you is the one with long bangs and very small eyes. Do you still remember him?"

"Remember, he had splits. I still remember, he was wearing a pair of red long pants in his ripped jeans."

"Oh, just remember. He was strolling outside the police station last night and I saw it. I thought he was going to take revenge on me, but guess what? He actually wanted to apologize to you."

This is a rare thing, and Tong Tong was a little confused.

Niu Changqing said, "He said, you could have killed him with a beer bottle, but you hesitated and threw the bottle away. Even so, he still didn't stop and injured you. The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and he wanted to apologize to you in person. He had been to the hospital, but he was afraid that if you were excited and your brain would be bleeding again, he would not be able to bear the responsibility, so he came to me first. Would you like to see him?"

Tong Tong is now devoted to studying and doesn't want to waste time meeting that gangster. Anyway, there will be no interaction in the future, so why do you still want to see him?
