Qian Xiaozhou's eyes lit up when he saw me, and he immediately shouted to me: "Teacher Yu." The surrounding boys looked at me in panic. It seemed to me that students' fear of teachers is a form of cultivation, and sometimes even the teacher's words
They are more effective than their parents. Judging from their clothes, it can be seen that they are not students of this school, and they are much taller, so they should be junior high school students.
One of them said harshly: "Qian Xiaozhou, just wait!" Then he was about to run away. I quickly grabbed the boy and looked him up and down, "Yu Le?" The boy looked surprised and looked up at me.
Come on, when I was recognized, I said, "You're not dead?" Then he realized something and tried hard to get rid of me. By this time, the other boys had already run away.
Qian Xiaozhou whispered from the side: "Teacher Yu, he was the one who took the lead in extorting money from me."
After I comforted Qian Xiaozhou and left, I dragged Yu Le to a quiet place and looked him over again. If it weren't for the face that was somewhat similar to mine, it would be difficult for me to recognize him. Unexpectedly,
The boy with a low head that he saw in the hospital has actually grown up to be this tall. And... blackmail?! Where did he learn that?
There are some things I don't want to touch, but I still encounter them at unpredictable times. For example, my father, when he pushed me into the fire for the sake of the boy in front of me, even though he called Xu Ziyang afterwards,
The final outcome was tragic. Although the tragedy that happened to me was inevitable, I couldn't help but care about my father.
I deliberately avoided his news and never pried, thinking that we could be safe on our own. But avoiding him did not mean that the blood relationship was severed. Standing in front of me was a boy with a perverse, unruly, and even a bit violent face.
, is my half-brother. Can I pretend that what just happened never happened? I can’t.
He put on a straight face and asked solemnly: "Why do you want to take the lead in extorting money from junior classmates?"
After he glared at me, he yelled: "Can you take care of it?" I sneered: "You see, I can take care of it or not. Your school uniform has the name of the school engraved on it. You need me to go to your school."
One trip? Criticism from the whole school? A major demerit?"
But he said with a nonchalant expression: "Just remember it, I don't want to miss it anyway. Studying is always boring."
I can't help but feel angry, rebellious? Rebellious psychology? I have never dealt with this kind of youth problem. "What do you want to do if you don't study? Join society? Don't think about running away. If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I will...
I’ll call your parents!”
"My parents?" Yu Le asked sharply, then with a face full of ridicule, "Do I have them? They are all dead!"
I was shocked, staggered, and told myself that it would not happen. I grabbed his arm and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Ever since I came back after being kidnapped by Xiaoxue's father, my mother and father have been quarreling at home every day. Later, my father found out about your death from nowhere, and then he had a big fight with my mother.
After that, my mother left and never came back. My father only drank all day long and never cared about me. This does not mean that everyone is dead."
I was so angry that I slapped him on the head, "Is that what you say? Curse your parents to death?" The heart that had been lost just now finally recovered. No matter how much I resented my father, I didn't want him to be no longer in this world.
I patted Yu Le with fear in his eyes. After all, he was still just a teenager. I yelled angrily and asked him to lead the way. I can't handle this situation alone. If my father doesn't control it, his precious son will leave sooner or later.
It was a point of no return. When I walked into that house, I finally understood why Yu Le was rebellious.
The cramped house was surrounded by the smell of decay, cigarettes, and alcohol, but it was obviously deserted. After Yu Le returned home, he lazily went to the sofa, ignoring me, and hummed some music with earplugs in his ears.
With my legs crossed, I didn't look like a student at all. It wasn't until dark that the door was pushed open from the outside. I turned my head to look and was stunned for two seconds.
The father in my impression was neatly dressed and had a good-looking face. However, the man in front of me was full of vicissitudes of life, his back was slightly hunched, and he was too old to look good. He also carried two bottles of wine in his hand, which was low-grade liquor like the one in the supermarket.
After seeing my face clearly, his hand loosened and the wine fell to the ground. It rolled a few times before stopping.
And his whole body began to tremble like leaves in the wind, with disbelief in his eyes.
I stood up solemnly and whispered: "I'm not dead." A sharp ridicule came from a certain boy next to me. I ignored him and just looked at my father calmly. For some reason, when I saw my mother so excited,
, I would feel heartbroken, but looking at the sad and painful expression of the man who gave me life, I felt nothing strange.
Has my heart become hardened? Or have I been repeatedly chastened by the world and have long since lost my original intention?
After he calmed down a bit, I briefly told what happened after the car accident, and lied that the memory loss after the incident had not recovered until some time ago. This excuse was easier for him to accept. Without waiting for him to express more, I told Yu Le
I mentioned this matter to him. This was the purpose of my visit. Before I left, I said seriously: "Since you cherished him so much in the past, you should take care of him as always, instead of letting him gradually go astray."
It can be heard from Yu Le’s words that the disintegration of this family started after my accident. Maybe my father’s guilt is involved, but I will never carry this burden on me. The problem of family and husband and wife lies in
Who among them has the ability to dominate other people's lives?
Over the next few days, I asked Qian Xiaozhou and learned that Yu Le had never come to trouble him again, so I felt relieved for the time being. However, I felt uneasy in my heart.
Contact me.
Walking on the way home, I felt restless, my eyelids were twitching, and I felt like something was about to happen. Passing somewhere, I stopped and looked at it casually. I saw a certain figure opposite me who seemed familiar. When I took a closer look, I had already sat in the car.
.Someone walked out of the club, then got into the car, and the car drove away.
Thoughtfully, I knew the middle-aged man who walked out of the club. He was the same Mr. He I saw that day. But, how could they meet? Could it be that I was wrong? I returned home with doubts, and from
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't hold it back and started pressing his number one by one.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it. I didn't have the courage to call again until the voice interruption came. I started to have hazy dreams at night, one after another. When I felt the vibration, I realized that it was under the pillow.
The phone was ringing. When I took it out, my hand slipped and the call was connected. When I picked it up, I squinted at it and put it to my ear; "Hello?"
But the person on the other side didn't speak, and the silence made the atmosphere stagnant. When I heard something like sobbing, I asked in shock: "Xu Ziyang, what's wrong with you?" Then came a voice that was extremely painful: "Qianqian, the old man is gone.
"
...
The term "old man" has only existed in their mouths, and I have never seen it. But judging from several incidents, he is a very strict and principled person. I dare not try to find out what kind of person this is, but I can't tell him.
I never imagined that the first time I saw him was in a black and white photo.
It was Cheng Lei who came to pick me up at the station. From his gloomy look when we met, it was clear that things had really happened. On the way to the Xu family's old house, he told me roughly what had happened in the past few days.
It turned out that Xu's father came out from inside. Apart from Xu Ziyang's constant wandering and dealing with people outside, the old man played a big role. He had never asked for help in his life. For his son, he bowed his head to his former comrades for help. But one moment and another moment.
, the Xu family is no longer the original Xu family. As glorious as it once was, it was trampled upon by others when it was down.
Even if they were old friends who had lived together and died together, no matter how deep their friendship was, they would avoid Xu's father. In more than half a year, the old man visited almost all of his old friends' doors, and he also suffered a lot of ridicule from others.
He kept holding on, and no one knew that he was actually terminally ill. When Xu Ziyang was seriously injured, it was a big blow to him. Later, the Xu family was defeated and depressed. Looking at everyone's faces, he could no longer hold on.
So on the night Xu's father returned home, he became seriously ill. No matter how good the doctor or the best medical equipment, they could not save the old man who was running out of gas and energy. Everyone could only wait sadly for him to slowly close his eyes.
Listening to Cheng Lei talking about this, a voice in my heart asked: Why didn't he tell me?
The Xu family's old house was not as majestic and spectacular as I imagined. It was just an ordinary big house. White damask, black silk flowers, and sad music were flowing. I saw Xu Ziyang's figure in front of the mourning hall. Lonely, Xiao Ran
, sadness, these are not enough to describe him, he is as lonely as being independent from the world.
My heart suddenly ached, why didn't he tell me earlier? If he had told me earlier, no matter how unbearable this land was, I would have come to him immediately. It was very depressing and uncomfortable. When he was most sad, I
Not with him.
His eyes turned slightly, then paused, and the familiar pain began to overflow again. In that corner, who was the figure standing in the crowd if it wasn't Gu Qingwei? She was here! Her eyes were sad and sad, but she was just
Focusing on him. He didn't tell me such a big thing until the end, but before that, Gu Qingwei had already rushed to be by his side?
So why on earth am I standing here? Isn’t it a huge irony?
I wanted to smile sadly, but found that I couldn't force even the small movement of touching the corner of my mouth. I suddenly shook my head, turned around and walked towards the door. There seemed to be a soft call from Cheng Lei behind me, and I no longer had the intention to stay.
"Ruoruo, don't go!" As soon as her voice fell, her arm was grabbed and a cool breath surrounded her.
I slowly turned around and stared at Xu Zijie's face. The severe pain in his eyes almost overflowed. The next second, I was pulled into his arms by him and held him tightly. I heard him choke in my ear and say: "If
If we are too useless, we will let the old man..."
The self-blame and guilt involved made my nose sore.
