When I went to bed at night, I could see that my parents were very happy, and they chatted for half the night. My house was very simple at that time, and my bed was separated from my parents' by a curtain, so I could hear what they said.
Later, I fell asleep in a drowsy way, sleeping very soundly.
I haven't gone out for several days in a row, because I'm afraid I'll get into trouble again. There's still more than a month left before school starts, and my plan is not to go out at all.
I kept worrying my family members, so my parents probably knew what I meant and didn't say anything. I just slept until midnight every day.
After two more days, I finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so I ran to a neighbor's house. There was a kid named Li Dong who was 5 or 6 years older than me.
Li Dong also went to No. 1 Middle School before, but he didn't study well and didn't get into college. He just sat at home and stole things. A few days ago, he was imprisoned for a few days for stealing rails from the construction site. I went to his house to get some books.
For the books for the first year of high school, preview them in advance.[
It was already noon, and I got up very late. As a result, I went to Li Dong's house, but he hadn't gotten up yet.
I entered his small home and said, "Brother, let me get some high school books." Li Dong pointed to the bookcase and told me to get it myself.
I walked over and took a look, it was so messy and had everything. It was difficult to find a few books for the first year of high school.
After spending a long time, I finally found it. I also picked up a few novels, including Wang Xiaobo's and Su Tong's. I wanted to pick up some youth books, but I didn't find them yet. I held the book and shook it at Li Dong: "Brother, this is
I will also read a few books and return them to you in a few days."
Li Dong had already gotten up and said, "Okay, you can read it. They are all my dad's books."
I saw a book with a yellow cover called Road to County X. This County X is the name of our place. I asked, "What kind of book is this?"
Li Dong looked at it and said: "It's an old book, it's been many years. It's my dad's. It's about famous people in our county. They are technicians, model workers, good leaders and the like. Anyway, they just praise their virtues."
I conveniently put it into the pile of books I took.
I picked out the books and felt a little embarrassed to leave right now, so I sat down and talked to Li Dong for a while.
Li Dong said: "Mingming, I heard that you were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School?"
I nodded and said, "How about school?"
Li Dong said: "It's not that good, there are quite a few gangsters."
I said in surprise: "Isn't it true that only those who study well can get in? They should all be good students, right..."
Li Dong laughed loudly: "I used to be a good student too. I was just led by some bad boys, and now I've become like this. Let me tell you, being good at studying doesn't mean you're a good person. Being able to play well and learn well is what makes you real.
What’s the matter?”
I nodded and acknowledged this.
Li Dong added: "Also, it's not just about studying well that you can enter No. 1 Middle School. It doesn't matter if your family has money, you can also earn extra money while studying. These students are also the main force of bad boys, but their influence is relatively scattered. They are arranged in one class.
