Chapter 33 'The Back'

Because I wasted time in the hospital, Tong Tong stayed in school for a while at night. Old Tong had been sleeping on the sofa in the living room. When he heard him coming back, he immediately jumped up and scolded: "It's all at this critical moment, and you still can't tell the priority. You came back so late. If you encounter something on the road, will you still take the exam?"

"Isn't it okay?" Tong Tong yawned and said, "Uncle Niu is also my benefactor. I should go to the hospital to see him."

"Even if you go, what can you help?"

Old Tong muttered, and Tong Tong was already lying on the sofa and fell asleep, saying in a daze: "Carp..."

"What carp?"

"You hung up the carp during the Chinese New Year?"

"Um..." Old Tong glanced at him and said in vain: "For good luck, go to bed quickly."

Tong Tong was very tired. Even though he could only sleep for a few hours, he smiled in his sleep and said "Thank you" to his adoptive father in his heart.

The next day on the way to school, Geng Xiaoqing asked about his whereabouts the day before and learned about Niu Changqing's experience. She didn't have a deep relationship with Lao Niu, so she was not as worried as Tong Tong. She comforted her a few words indifferently, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "The college entrance examination will be the day after tomorrow, and this day is finally here."

"As long as you perform normally, you may become the first person in our school to be admitted to Peking University."

Geng Xiaoqing stared at him suddenly.

Tong Tong hurriedly corrected: "It's not possible, it's necessary!"

Geng Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I was admitted to Peking University and left this bad home. A beautiful life is waving to me! Fried pot, go to Beijing with me! I don't want to float alone in Beijing, just have you with me."

Tong Tong didn't speak up. To be honest, if he was separated from Geng Xiaoqing, he would be very unaccustomed. After all, they had been together for 16 years, and the difficult living environment made them closer than their brother and sister. But he wanted to go to Shanghai because he found out that Teacher Meng was preparing to take the graduate entrance examination for Fudan.

"Fan Chuan, why don't you talk? Do you have other plans?"

Tong Tong patted her on the shoulder: "Look at where I can pass the exam."

By the time of the college entrance examination, Tong Tong had become a model of "a prodigal son turning back". Inspired by him, several classmates also chased after him, but the teacher was so happy that he yelled in the office every day that there would be a chance for the college entrance examination this year, and the rate of first-class students would probably hit a record high. Teacher Meng was also very pleased. She hoped that Tong Tong would get good grades than anyone else. She had too many things to share with him, including his life experience and his wishes.

More importantly, she wanted to tell him that when he grew up, she would seriously consider his wishes.

The night before the college entrance examination, there was no need to go to evening self-study. The students said cheering each other and went home. Teacher Meng hesitated and finally called Tong Tong at the last moment: "Tong Tong, wait a moment, I have something to give to you."

"What?"

Teacher Meng signaled him to go to the stairwell, and only the two of them were left. She took out a brand new pencil bag from her bag, dark blue canvas leather, with four vigorous and powerful words printed on it - Golden List title. Open the pencil bag, there were four brand new neutral pens, two cut 2b pencils, pencil sharpener, ruler and other essential stationery for exams.

"I've customized this with a friend. I don't know what to give you, and I don't know what to give you..."

"I like it very much!" Tong Tong's smile was brighter than the sunshine in June: "I bring this pencil bag in the college entrance examination and will definitely be the first to be the winner!"

Teacher Meng rubbed his hands and said calmly: "I consider that your situation is special and there is no parents to prepare for you. Don't let down such a big exam, so as a teacher, I should..."

"Okay, no need to explain. Anyway, the fact is that you gave me a pencil bag and a full set of college entrance examination stationery, right?" Tong Tong was as happy as a little fool: "The rest is not important, I will definitely use it well anyway."

"Well. I really want to tell you after the college entrance examination that the adults are thinking about you. I don't want this to affect your grades..."

"I know." Tong Tong said: "I know what you think, so try not to think about it."

"That's good, you go home quickly! Don't review too late tonight, eat light food, don't eat fruits like watermelon, ensure sleep and stomach health, right?"

"Yes!" Tong Tong agreed, still showing two rows of big white teeth: "You have been fucking me so much, and I remember everything you said. Don't worry, I will definitely take the college entrance examination in the best condition."

Saying goodbye to Teacher Meng, Tong Tong happily embarked on the way home. He still only knows how to sing old songs like "Sad Pacific", but the originally sad songs were also performed particularly happily by him. He was about to arrive in the village in the city, and he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something else that could not be done. When he looked back, he said, "Oh! I forgot Geng Xiaoqing!

In that moment, my whole body was covered in cold sweat.

I didn’t ask Gao Xiaobao today. If Geng Qiuyun waited for today, wouldn’t Geng Xiaoqing be very dangerous?

He was about to return the same way, but he heard a cold snorkeling in front. He turned around and saw Geng Xiaoqing, his muscles finally relaxed.

"It seems that you still have me in your heart!"

"Of course there is!" Tong Tong blamed: "You can't wait for me? It's so dangerous to go home alone."

"This is the real broad daylight, and Geng Qiuyun must not dare to kill me at this time."

Geng Xiaoqing looked indifferent, as if her biological father wanted to kill someone else. In her words, she was worried for ten years and finally had to face him. Instead, she felt a little relieved. "Fan Chuan, if he really wanted to kill me, then let him kill him, and then call me the police, let the police arrest him, and stay in there for another twenty years! I have always had a great life and will definitely not die."

"Stop talking stupidly, he is a murderer after all. If he really attacks you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Geng Xiaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really care about me so much?"

"certainly."

"I'm important, or is Teacher Meng important?"

Tong Tong figured out her rules, so her face turned red and her heart was perfunctory: "Of course it's your important thing. We have been together for more than ten years!"

Geng Xiaoqing was overjoyed. When she returned home, she opened Tong Tong's schoolbag domineeringly and snatched the pencil bag of "Golden List". Tong Tong looked cold and told him not to make trouble. Geng Xiaoqing said aggrievedly: "Although I am not as rich as Teacher Meng, I have also prepared a gift for you. Look, this is a newly bought neutral pen. Can't you answer the questions with it?"

“…Whose one uses different ones?”

"It's just different! Tong Tong, do you look down on the gifts I prepared? Is it so shabby to compare with the things that Teacher Meng gave me?"

Why did it start again? Tong Tong had a headache and asked her to put the pencil case down. Geng Xiaoqing was so angry that he threw the pencil case outside the window. Tong Tong was so angry that he stamped her feet and called her unreasonable. He ran to the yard to pick up the pencil case, but found a person standing at the door.

The man was thin, had long hair, and his shadow was stretched out, so weird that he didn't look like a human.

With his distant memories of childhood, Tong Tong recognized him. He was Geng Xiaoqing's father Geng Qiuyun. He was afraid of anything he wanted. Tong Tong clenched his pencil case and shouted loudly to boost his courage: "Who are you? Why are you standing there?"

Geng Xiaoqing noticed something and was no longer as brave as he was from school. He immediately started crying and hid in Tong Tong's room. Not to mention being stabbed by his father, she tried her best to avoid him even when she met him.

Every time Geng Qiuyun took a step forward, Tong Tong took a step back accordingly. If there was no college entrance examination, he would not be so scared, but when he thought about the college entrance examination tomorrow, he would have more worries. Even so, he still gritted his teeth and shouted: "This is my home, don't come in."

The smell of alcohol was floating in the air. I guess Geng Qiuyun came here after drinking too much. He smiled gloomyly and said vaguely: "Are you the wild child you picked up? Have you grown up so old?"

Tong Tong plucked up the courage to get close to him: "...Uncle Geng, it's getting late, go back to your own house!"

"Own home? My wife ran away, my daughter lives in someone else's house. Where can I have a home?" Geng Qiuyun shook, and burped, and it was even more stinky. He shouted at the inner room regardless of concern: "Xiaoqing! You are here, don't you even say hello?"

Tong Tong stood in front of him: "Uncle Geng, go home first to wake up and sober up, and I will send Xiaoqing back later."

Geng Qiuyun suddenly stared at Tong Tong, his enlarged pupils were very terrifying. He pointed at Tong Tong's forehead with his right index finger, and smiled contemptuously: "Which green onion are you? Well?! At such a young age, you will take someone else's daughter home. You are not ashamed! You ruined his reputation! Get out of here!"

He used his hand to push Tong Tong to the ground. He was so angry that his eyes were blew out of fire. He stood up suddenly. Just as he was about to return the one he had just returned, an old voice sounded behind his back: "Tong Tong, you can get ready to go to bed first! I'll talk to you Uncle Geng."

It was Lao Tong. Lao Tong walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Lao Geng, are you back?"

Geng Qiuyun laughed: "Old Tong, are you as old as this bear? I can't even recognize you."

"Don't talk about me, you're a pound." Old Tong held a bottle of Hongcheng Laojiao in his arms and invited him: "I haven't drunk with you for a long time. Since you're here tonight, let's have a drink?"

Geng Qiuyun's eyes were blurred: "I've already drunk it. I'm here to come to my daughter to go home. Xiaoqing! Xiaoqing!"

Tong Tong was still angry with Geng Xiaoqing and was worried that Geng Qiuyun would really kill her, but Old Tong pushed him away, blocked in front of him, and laughed and said, "Let's go, Old Geng, I haven't drunk with you for many years, so I'm just thinking about having a sip with you. The children will have to take the exam tomorrow, so what are you talking about with them?"

Geng Qiuyun's eyes were red and shaking, as if he was about to kill someone in the next second. Old Tong took his arm, pulled him out and walked out: "I have treasured this bottle of old cellar for several years, and I'll wait for you to come back to drink together. Your house is pure enough. Let's go, go to your house."

Geng Qiuyun was full of ruthlessness, but Lao Tong walked out with him. He looked back blankly and saw Tong Tong frowning. Tong Tong didn't look at him, and his eyes were all focused on his adoptive father. Lao Tong was thinner than Geng Qiuyun, and his back could not be straight due to his coughing all year round. He struggled to walk by himself, and he was dragging Geng Qiuyun, and he didn't know where his strength came from.

He was just a sick, powerless, cowardly middle-aged man, but Tong Tong thought he was Superman for the first time.

He remembered Zhu Ziqing's "Back View". He also had an ordinary father. In his old and staggering back, he hid his deep love for him.

Tong Tong raised his arm, wiped his eyes, and called out for the first time: "Dad..."

Old Tong trembled all over.

"Dad, you can drink it at home, it won't affect us."

Lao Tong turned around and saw the worry in his adopted son's eyes for the first time. Instead, he smiled with relief: "Don't worry about me, go back and have a good sleep. I will come back tomorrow morning to cook for you and take you to the exam room."

The more Tong Tong wiped, the more tears he had: "Then..."
