Geng Xiaoqing ignored Tong Tong's sorrow and was very happy when she heard that he wanted to enroll in a tutoring class for her. But she did not show a particularly touching look, but was somewhat "justified".

It is difficult for a smart, beautiful and arrogant girl to take this little favor in her eyes, although she knows Tong Tong's predicament better than anyone else.

Tong Tong's monthly living expenses are only 500 yuan, of which 300 yuan was paid by the street or Lao Niu's wife tried her best to help the Tong family; 200 yuan was paid by the school, and the previous class teacher Lao Fan helped him solve the problem.

Tong Tong was most reluctant to label the "poor student". He was unwilling to hold a document and asked various people to sign it in a low voice. He didn't want to be unable to raise his head in front of his classmates. He even had to look at the face of a bowl of five-dollar beef noodles.

He didn't want to study and had long thoughts of dropping out of school and working, but he was the focus of Lao Niu and his wife, and the most difficult student in the school, so he could not drop out of school.

The minimum living allowance was issued to Grandma Tong and his son. Tong Tong did not interfere, so he did not feel that his self-esteem was hurt, but he did not want to take the school subsidy. Lao Fan asked him to apply, and he shook his head like a rattle: "At worst, just eat dirt, so don't be sympathized with others."

"You really can't afford some of the rustic things!" Lao Fan was anxious and angry, threatening: "If you don't apply, I will contact the welfare home and ask them to take you away! Anyway, your grandmother and your adoptive father are not in good health and you are underage, so you can go to the welfare home to stay honestly!"

"If you go, go, I can't hold me anywhere anyway. I just go to work in the south."

Tong Tong was still very arrogant at that time, and (thinking that) he was very casual, but he was so angry that Lao Fan was quite conscientious. He didn't let Tong Tong go through the procedures, but ran around and helped him get all the materials. After all, he threw a bank card in front of Tong Tong and said rudely: "You kid owes me a favor, remember to repay it in the future."

Lao Fan loyally helped him keep the secret, and Tong Tong was very grateful to him. He didn't plan to use the money in the card, but his grandmother's condition suddenly worsened and he couldn't even eat. He was still worried about face and did not ask anyone for help. As a result, he experienced the feeling of starving to low blood sugar at a young age. He woke up dizzy early in the morning, but he didn't know "low blood sugar". He thought he was about to die, and his survival instinct made him withdraw some money. After several days, he had a full meal for the first time. At that time, he realized that he was not very backbone, and he would bow to hunger and poverty.

Adolescent boys always struggle with hunger. Tong Tong's living conditions are not good, but he grows very fast and his hunger becomes more and more serious. He relies more and more on subsidies given by all parties. He suspects that he really has no dignity because he is full of food and living. He has the idol burden of "school tyrants" and is afraid that others will look down on him. However, teachers and friends who are familiar with the matter have a tacit understanding of keeping secrets for him so that he will not lose face.

Grandma Tong's son is about forty years old, weak and powerless, and basically has no ability to work. He works odd jobs in a shipyard near the dock and only goes home occasionally. In Tong Tong's impression, he was hunched over when he was young, and his eyes were very turbid. He had almost never laughed, nor did he lose his temper - it was also possible that he had no strength to lose his temper. He was always depressed, as if he was half dead.

When my grandmother decided to adopt Tong Tong, her son yelled rarely: "I can't even raise myself, so how can I afford to raise this little boy?! If you adopt him, then he calls me brother or father?"

At that time, he was in his early twenties, and Grandma Tong took Tong home despite his opposition. Later, he met a woman, rented a room outside, and had a son. Grandma Tong was very disgusted. She firmly believed that the child must be someone else's, and her son was deceived by that woman.

Later, Lao Tong fell ill and his wife and children ran away. He wanted to get them back, but he was powerless and fell seriously ill before he left. From then on, he became even more gloomy and was unwilling to face rumors and sarcasm. He almost settled his home at the dock and came back to see his mother during the holidays.

Tong Tong called him "Old Tong". He muttered a few words, saying that he was uneducated, but he didn't seem to care much. The last time Tong saw Lao Tong went back a few months ago, the day when Grandma Tong suddenly passed away. When organizing her mother's funeral, Lao Tong, who was already half-dead, was like a piece of dead wood, and she was not as good as Tong Tong to hold on to the scene.?

When his grandmother passed away, Tong Tong's household registration book was only seventeen years old. It is logical that he could be sent to the welfare home. What's more, Tong's family was barely bare and there was a medicine jar that was surviving, so he couldn't take care of a minor. The old cow's wife Hu Wenjuan came to her home to express her condolences from the street office, but Tong Tong lowered her head and did not speak, and was not grateful.

Old Tong, who had been silent for several days, finally took the initiative to talk to Tong Tong: "Do you want to go to the welfare home?"

Tong Tong immediately shook his head: "I am so old, and I am not a child who cannot take care of myself. Why go to the welfare home? Are you taking care of the children?"

So, Lao Tong said to Lao Niu's wife: "I am an adult at home, so he doesn't have to go to the welfare home."

He would not say "guardian", but Tong Tong understood what he meant - he was Tong Tong's parent and he could take care of Tong Tong. Tong Tong once complained that he was drowsy and unwilling to make progress all day long, but at that moment, he was very grateful to Lao Tong. And he understood that despite all the awkwardness, Lao Tong still accepted him and regarded him as his family.

Lao Tong doesn't care for people. Since his mother passed away, he has gone home even less often. He just left his money to Tong Tong. Tong Tong lived a very difficult life, but when he thought of Lao Tong who was sick all over, he was still full of gratitude and thought that he would always repay him in the future.

In this way, if you can barely eat the canteen for 500 yuan per month, you have to be careful and you will definitely not be able to eat big fish and meat every meal. Adolescent boys are like hungry wolves going down the mountain, and Tong Tong is no exception. Fortunately, his best friend Lao Sun is still loyal and invites him to his barbecue stall from time to time to improve his life. A few of their good friends can fill in their stomachs with some oil.

On the night after returning from the tutoring class, Tong Tong cooked instant noodles for Geng Xiaoqing, but there were no eggs at home, so the nutritional value of this bowl of noodles was not high. However, Geng Xiaoqing didn't care. She swallowed it voraciously, swallowed several times before sighing, "Here I'm alive."

Tong Tong sat down beside her, feeling a little distressed: "You don't have enough time to review, but you're so good, you're going out to work... Do you like making money so much?"

"Well, I have to have money, and I have to make a lot of money in the future!" Geng Xiaoqing swallowed a few more mouthfuls of noodles and said, "In order to make more money in the future, I must save enough tuition before going to college!"

At the 15th Middle School, Geng Xiaoqing's life experience was almost well known. Many people laughed at her efforts and said that she was in vain - a murderer and a daughter who dared to use her? What good job can she find?

Geng Xiaoqing understood her situation more than anyone else, but she was optimistic enough: "Tong Tong, I will definitely leave here and start over in a place where no one knows me. I will definitely be very successful, so that all those who look down on me will admire me! I will make them unable to reach it!"

After talking about his ambitions, Geng Xiaoqing said gently again: "But you are an exception! No matter when, even if I become president, you are still the closest person to me."

Tong Tong didn't take it to heart. When he thought of Zhang Yaoyao, he was still frustrated. After calming down, he remembered that Teacher Meng was still there, and she saw his most embarrassing side again, which made him extremely depressed.

He could not hide it from Geng Xiaoqing, and finally revealed his experience in the afternoon. Geng Xiaoqing blinked and started to show his cuteness to him: "Where did you, a pauper, get the money from? Is it so expensive to enroll me in a tutoring class?"

"I saved money and saved two hundred yuan. Lao Sun lied that he bought learning materials and blackmailed five hundred yuan with his father, and Lao Chen gave three hundred yuan, and finally got a thousand yuan."

"I just say it casually, you are so concerned about it. You deserve to be my good Tong Tong." Geng Xiaoqing's big eyes were filled with mist, both pure and smart aura. The 17 or 18-year-old boy could not resist such a girl at all. She casually put on a charming look, and a large group of boys continued to fulfill their wishes for her.

However, Tong Tong was not charmed by her beauty. He helped her out of friendship that was so pure that it could not be pure, or perhaps family affection.

After eating the noodles, Geng Xiaoqing burped a cute burp and joked: "Other school bullies are robbing other people's money, but you're fine, you have to raise money pitifully... You are the most cowardly school bully who came to the founding of the No. 15 Middle School."

Tong Tong was indeed quite domineering before. During class, he often put his hands in his pockets, stretched his long legs straight, leaned his back lazily on the back table, and looked at the teacher rebelliously. He imitated the teacher he didn't like, and made fun of the female teacher who had just finished his meal more than once: "Teacher, your stomach is out!"

...

The young female teacher was so angry that she cried, threw the students in a classroom and fled back to the office in a mess. She thrust and cried about Tong Tong's various crimes, wishing she could send him to the juvenile custody office.

Tong Tong had done similar unethical things to his teacher, but he did it with confidence. He said that because the teacher looked down on him and spoke harshly, he took revenge like that. In addition to making the teacher angry, he also repaired many classmates. But he swears to God that he never blackmailed him even if he fights. He never cares about money that is not right.

However, after his grandmother passed away, Tong Tong's temperament changed drastically. He no longer threatened his classmates who he couldn't stand, nor did he tease the teacher. Every day he went to bed and wandered after class, he became a quiet and stupid man. After Teacher Meng came, he actually showed a sense of obedience, although he did not notice it. He was just worried. How would he explain to her when he saw Teacher Meng the next day?
