Chapter 4: Flaws have to be cheated on the protagonist
"Good Samaritan, come and buy a candy. It's very cheap, only fifty yuan a pop!" As he said that, the old man took out a delicate little box, implying that the candy was inside.
"Old man, do you think I look like an idiot?" Zhou Yun asked fiercely, as if he wanted to teach the old man a lesson. Damn! This old guy is so disrespectful. He didn't scare people enough.
Selling a candy for 50 yuan and saying it’s very cheap? That’s not what you would do if you were a liar!
A piece of candy sells for 50 yuan, so why go grab it? Even if prices rise, they won’t rise to this level.
The old man shook his head and began to boast non-stop: "It doesn't look like it! It really doesn't look like it! I was surprised to see your bones and your handsome face. You look like an emperor..."
"Okay, okay, I get it..." Zhou Yun had no time to listen to the old man telling stories. Even a three-year-old child couldn't fool this kind of cliche. He still looked like a bastard in surprise, and the old man 90% thought he was an idiot.
.Looking at the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, Zhou Yun didn't bother to argue with him.
"Hehe." The old man smiled awkwardly, and he also realized that his confidence was blown. He limped up to Zhou Yun and said, "Young man, I just said so much because I want you to buy a candy."
"Old man, your legs..." Zhou Yun then discovered that the old man turned out to be a lame man. He had a wooden prosthetic foot installed on his left foot, and it made a "squeaking" sound when he walked.
"It's okay, it's okay. Young man, let me tell you, eating this candy will have unexpected effects. Buy one and try it, I guarantee you will enjoy the unexpected surprise! Let me tell you quietly, this candy can only be found in the sky, and it is rare to find it in the world.
Ah..." It's hard to change a person's nature. After the old man praised Zhou Yun, he started to praise his candies again. It wasn't until Zhou Yun was dizzy and about to faint to the ground that he said slowly: "How about, here's one!
"That wretched smile looks like a weird uncle who deceives little girls.
Zhou Yun shook his head, he really couldn't resist the old man's attack of words. This old guy was really nagging, and he was even better than Tang Monk. Fortunately, Zhou Yun was not Wukong, otherwise he would have been fooled by the stick.
"Okay! Okay! Don't tell me, I can't buy it!" Zhou Yun agreed kindly. Why do you say he is kind? Zhou Yun bought the old man's candy, not because he could talk, but because he saw the old man's age and ability.
He is lame. He must have no children at home, so he comes out to beg. As for selling candy, it is just a cover. Who would want it for fifty yuan a pop?
"Really? That's great, that's great. Young man, I have three here, you choose one." The old man excitedly handed the box to Zhou Yun, ready to let him choose slowly.
However, Zhou Yun unexpectedly snatched the box into his hands, and then forced the old man to give the more than 300 yuan he snatched from Brother Qiang: "I want it all. There are 300 yuan here, save some and you can spend it."
Last time, I felt better about myself."
Zhou Yun patted the old man Wolengdi, turned around and ran towards the exit of the alley. He was a gangster and a hawker. If he stayed away from home for so long, his father must have misunderstood that he was fooling around outside.
"Hey! Hey! Young man! Wait! I only sell one candy per person! You gangster! *Ah! Give me the candy quickly!!"
When the old man came back to his senses, he shouted loudly and chased Zhou Yun with his lame legs. Unfortunately, Zhou Yun disappeared long ago as he rushed home. Looking at the more than three hundred yuan in his hand, the old man was helpless.
He showed a wry smile: "This kid...well, it's okay. Although it's different from what was expected...good people are rewarded, everything is good luck..."
Good fortune? Why did the old man say that? If Zhou Yun was still there, it would definitely arouse some questions. Unfortunately, he rushed home to report and had already disappeared at the intersection.
Only selling one to each person? This old guy has quite a professional ethics. Zhou Yun, who was rushing home, couldn't help but think that although the old man used candies to deceive people, he only sold one to each person, so it was not as much as he could deceive.
He had a bad conscience. This made Zhou Yun even more certain that the old man was a helpless man, and he took this step because of the pressure of life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun, who still felt sorry for losing three hundred yuan for no reason, suddenly felt relieved and cheerful. The old man was so pitiful that he could only help once. He robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Anyway, the money was taken back, even if it was lost.
I don't feel bad at all.
After returning home at noon, Zhou Yun sat down to eat with his parents as usual. What was originally the most heartwarming moment turned out to be the most difficult moment for Zhou Yun. During the meal, Zhou Qingyang, Zhou Yun's father, always...
Asked some very embarrassing questions for him. Therefore, Zhou Yun would eat every day like a hungry ghost reincarnated, gnawing desperately, and fight in a quick way. He intended to destroy all the food in front of his father before he could ask questions.
.
"Xiaoyun, the college entrance examination is about to take place. How have you been studying lately? You can still keep up with the progress."
"Pfft...cough...cough..." No, Zhou Yun was afraid of what he was doing. Zhou Qingyang was frightened by Zhou Yun who was struggling to eat. He didn't think about it either. No matter how fast he ate, his father wanted to ask
Isn’t it still unavoidable? Some things will always come when they are supposed to come.
"Child, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Yang Xiu, the mother, smiled softly and immediately poured a glass of water for Zhou Yun.
"Thank you, Mom..." Zhou Yun swallowed the rice, took a breath and drank some water, then looked at his father and hesitated and said: "It's... not bad..."
Zhou Yun's average score is less than 40, but he still dares to say that it is good. This is really good.
By the way, Zhou Yun didn't want to lie, but facing Zhou Qingyang's expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to tell his father that he didn't learn anything in school.
In fact, it's not that Zhou Yun doesn't want to study hard, but that he missed too many courses in junior high school. In high school, in addition to the four courses of Chinese, history, politics, and geography, he can also listen to stories and learn about the local culture of his motherland. In terms of mathematics,
Physics and English are like a wordless bible. The strings of formula letters are like tadpole script, which makes people dizzy just looking at them.
"That's good, that's good. Come on! Eat some fish to replenish your brain. You must have been working hard recently." Zhou Qingyang happily picked up a large piece of fish, put it in Zhou Yun's bowl, and smiled at him encouragingly.
Smile. Seeing the wrinkled smile on his father's face, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a sting in his heart.
He was obviously not good at studying, but he deceived his father and said that he was good. Thinking that when his father exposed his lie, it would definitely make him even more disappointed.
Suddenly, Zhou Yun put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and started a class struggle in his heart. Finally, he felt ashamed and said seriously: "Dad, I'm sorry, actually... I don't understand the current class at all. I told you before.
Fortunately, they are all lies. But...I will definitely study hard in the future."
Zhou Yun made up his mind and finally told the truth. He didn't want to continue to lie to others and himself, which would only bring more harm to his family. How could a parent not know how much he is capable of? At every parent-teacher meeting, his father always
He left in high spirits and returned disappointed. How could he not know his own situation?
"As expected of my child, you have the courage to face the facts! Xiaoyun, you have grown up." Zhou Qingyang has always been an optimist. When he heard Zhou Yun's confession, instead of being angry, he patted his head and said, "Make up for the situation before it's too late.
It’s not too late. As long as you are willing to study hard, there is still time.”
"Dad...I'm sorry." Zhou Yun lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Zhou Qingyang's eyes. He clearly understood how patient he was. Not to mention that it was less than two months before the college entrance examination. Even if he repeated the exam for another year, he might not be able to do it.
There is sereness.
In three years of junior high school and three years of high school, there are too many courses that I have missed. A total of six years of knowledge cannot be made up by just making up for it. But since I promised my dad, I can’t let him down. As long as I go all out, even if I fail in the end
, I failed to get into college, I believe my father can understand.
Zhizi is more like a father. Seeing Zhou Yun's silence, Zhou Qingyang obviously guessed that he was worried, so he held him in his arms: "Don't worry, good boy, you are still young..."
"Okay, the father and son should stop being nauseous and eat quickly. The child has to go to school in the afternoon..." Yang Xiu curled her lips and smiled. There hasn't been such a warm scene in the family for a long time. Maybe as Zhou Qingyang said, the child is sensible.
.
"Okay, eat! Eat! Have a good rest at noon and listen carefully to the class in the afternoon." Zhou Qingyang patted Zhou Yun's shoulder and took the lead in getting started.
After lunch, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Since he was determined to study hard and be a good boy who makes progress every day, he could no longer be idle and addicted to computers as before.
Back in the room, Zhou Yun fell on the bed. Taking a nap would help him be more energetic during class in the afternoon. But as soon as he lay down, he noticed something seemed to be in his trouser pocket, which made him very uncomfortable. He took it out and saw that it was
The candy box bought from the crippled old man.
On the surface, this candy box is very exquisite, better than any packaging Zhou Yun has ever seen. It is estimated that the old man is trying to deceive people and has carefully designed the workmanship. After eating well and having nothing to do, Zhou Yun does everything possible.
I leaned on the bed boredly and opened the candy box. I saw three pearl-like crystal candies inside, with a faint sweet fragrance wafting from time to time.
Today's lunch is the most substantial meal Zhou Yun has eaten in recent days. Now his stomach is bulging and he can't sleep at all. It is said that eating sugar after a meal can help digestion, but I don't know if it is true or not. But give it a try.
