bad youth

After saying goodbye to everyone, I stepped on the bus to go home.It stands to reason that when a student is expelled from the school, the parents will definitely be notified, but my parents did not show up from the beginning to the end, is it because they are desperate for me?The answer can only be revealed when you go home.

With both feet on the ground in Dongguan Town, I felt a little dizzy in my head.I am very familiar with every plant and tree here, and I can walk home with my eyes closed.This is my hometown, but it is also a place that I call a "nightmare". At the beginning, I worked so hard to get into Chenggao, just to be able to leave here, so that I could no longer see those classmates who had bullied me.

In the past, every street and alley I walked here, I couldn't help but bow my head timidly, for fear of accidentally bumping into Zou Yang and his classmates (in fact, I should bump into them or I will bump into them, and whether I should bow my head or not) It doesn't matter whether you bend over or not).But now, with my head held high and confidence in my eyes, I walked on the road with great strides.Perhaps, experience can really change a person.

The wide avenue gradually turns into a narrow alley, with low one-story houses on both sides of the alley. This is an ordinary area in Dongguan Town, and my home is at the end of this alley, with a peach tree planted at the door. That's where the tree is.The peach tree was deliberately planted by my mother, in order to block the smoke and dust from passing vehicles from drifting into the slightly low courtyard wall of my house.

This house was built more than ten years ago with a cost of less than 3000 yuan. Now it is so old that it can be blown away by a gust of wind. It has long been used to leaking rain in summer and wind in winter.I feel timid near the hometown, the closer I get to the house, the more nervous I feel.Pushing open the concealed door of the house, what came into view was a small courtyard, neatly tidied up by the mother.I don't know if my parents knew about my expulsion. The previous majestic aura disappeared the moment I entered the small courtyard, replaced by the face of my parents expecting me to make a difference in my mind. How disappointed will they show when they see me?I didn't dare to think about it anymore, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Walking through the yard to the main house, and pushing open the weak wooden door, I was surprised to find that my parents were at home.Dad was sitting at the dining table smoking a cigarette, and mother was sitting on the sofa wiping tears, both of them looked gloomy.My heart sank, but I still said, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

My mother ignored me, still wiping her tears and sobbing softly.But my father looked up at me and said, "Why did you come back without taking anything?" Obviously he already knew everything, and my heart became more and more sad.

"Dad, Mom. I'm sorry." I said softly, not even having the courage to sit down.No matter how brilliant deeds I have achieved in Chenggao, they are worthless in front of their elders. "It's okay." Father said, "I'm sorry for you."

"What?" I said suspiciously, not knowing what it meant.Father didn't speak any more, smoking a cigarette one mouthful at a time.

"Mom, what's going on?" I walked to my mother and gently held her hand.

Mother's hand trembled slightly, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be contained anymore: "Your father... has been laid off."

There was a rumbling sound in my head. My father was a worker in a state-owned enterprise, and he was the only person in the family who went to work. All the expenses of daily life depended on his meager salary.Now my father has been laid off, which means that the family will not have any income!

"It's raining all night." My father shook his head slightly: "Misfortunes never come singly, misfortunes never come singly..."

My father was laid off and I was fired. It is true that misfortunes never come singly. This family, which was already unable to withstand wind and rain, made the situation worse.

"Son, I don't have the face to see you." The father sighed: "I want to go to school immediately on the day you are expelled, pat your shoulder and say it's okay, let's just change to another school But I'm not a rich man, nor a high-ranking official, just a poor commoner, how can I have the confidence to say these things, how can I have the confidence to comfort you?"

"Dad..." My tears flowed down uncontrollably, and I wanted to say something to comfort my father, but everything was stuck in my throat.

"Don't cry." The father said, "Son, don't cry."

I wiped away my tears and looked at my father.

"Being fired, it's nothing, I know you have a clear conscience. I am the same, I am laid off, and I have a clear conscience." The father exhaled: "No matter how difficult life is, we have to go on. The next step, I am going to go outside Working, how about you?"

"I..." I suddenly found that the word "Vocational College" could not be said.If my parents knew that I wanted to go to a vocational college, what kind of sadness would it be?They've already been hit too hard, and I can't add it to this moment.

"Haven't you decided which school to go to yet?" My father said calmly: "It's okay, just say it, your mother and I will support you with all our strength, and we will pay for your school. I believe that with your ability, you can go to any school." High school can also be admitted to university!"

The mother who had been wiping her tears also said: "Yes, your dad and I have thought about it, you have always been a good boy, and being expelled is not the result you want. It doesn't matter, students from Chenggao, other high school students They are all rushing to ask for it. You can study with peace of mind if you change schools, so you don’t have to feel too sad, neither your father nor I will blame you. "

Now that my parents have encountered the biggest problem in their lives, they still have to comfort me who was fired.I felt extremely sad, as if I was stabbed by something.My parents hope that I can go to high school and take the college entrance examination. If they know that I want to go to a vocational college... I dare not think about it anymore, it will undoubtedly make them more sad.

"Haohao, don't worry about the family's financial problems." The mother said, "Your dad works outside the factory and earns more than in the factory. I'll find a cleaning job to help the family. It's absolutely no problem. Do you understand?"

"Let's go to Beiyuan No. [-] Middle School." My father said suddenly: "The school is very close to Chenggao, so it shouldn't be too bad. I don't think there are any other schools in Beiyuan City that are good. Haohao, go After entering the new school, you must study hard, and don’t fight with others anymore.”

"Hmm." I nodded.How can I refuse, how can I bear to refuse?

"Then it's settled." The father stood up: "I will go out to work after completing the transfer procedures for you in the past few days. I guess I have to pay a sum of money. I'll borrow some." Akira walked out the door.

"Dad, I'll go with you!" I quickly caught up and went out with my father.

&&&&&&&&

"Old Wang, it's not that I don't want to lend you, it's just that money is tight these days..." Uncle Li in front of him looked embarrassed.

"I know I know." The father said, "Your son is going to college too."

My father and I came out of Uncle Li's house. This was already the seventh house we entered, but we were still empty-handed.It's not that the people here are not kind, but that everyone is indeed poor.If it weren't for being poor, I wouldn't be living here.

"Let's go, let's go to Lao Sun's house again." Father said: "Old Sun is in business, and he always has some spare money on hand."

After entering Lao Sun's house, there were bursts of howling, and Lao Sun was being crushed by his burly wife.

"I'll give you ten yuan to make soy sauce, and when I came back, I said I lost the change. Do you think I'm a fool?!" Old Sun's wife yelled angrily, "Tell you, don't even try to take a piece of money from my mother." Penny!"

My father and I didn't even talk to the old grandson, we just walked out.Standing on the road, we are all a little frowning.

"Let's go to Lao Zhang's house again..." The father sighed and walked to Lao Zhang's house again.

I followed behind my father, looking at his slightly hunched back, it wasn't 01:30 that made me feel sad.I thought of the 5 yuan deposited with Ye Zhan. If I can give it to my parents, it will definitely solve my urgent need.At that time, the wages of workers were generally only a few hundred yuan, and the house price was only about 700 yuan per square meter, and 5 yuan was enough to buy a building.But how to give the 5 yuan to parents logically?I was thinking about this question, and when I looked up, I saw a store selling lottery tickets opposite.

"Dad." I called out suddenly.

"What?" Father turned his head.

"Buy a lottery ticket."

"Why buy that thing?" Father shook his head, he would never believe that there would be pies in the sky.

"We're unlucky enough." I said, "I don't care about this lottery ticket. If things go against each other, why don't we just win the lottery?"

"That makes sense!" My father laughed, and took me into the lottery shop, took out two dollars to buy a bet, and carefully filled in the number on it.This was the first time he bought a lottery ticket, and he always believed that he had no chance of getting rich.After buying a lottery ticket, my father carefully put it in the pocket of his jacket and said to me: "Go, continue to borrow money."

Borrowed several more, but still failed, so I had to go home first.Seeing that it was almost time to leave school, I quietly left the house, took out my mobile phone, called Ye Zhan's house, and told Ye Zhan about the matter.

"Okay, I'll send you the money tomorrow." Ye Zhan said, "But are you sure you're going to Beiqi?"

"I'm sure." I said, "The family has become like this, and I can't make my parents sad anymore."

The next day, Ye Zhan sent the money over.I hid the money first, then took a few random tickets, and went to the shop selling lottery tickets with Ye Zhan. When the shop was empty, I put a few tickets on the counter: "Boss, Do me a favor..."

After finishing everything, I took Ye Zhan home and left him for lunch.I introduced Ye Zhan to my parents as my best friend in Chenggao. My parents were very enthusiastic about him and liked this good-looking guy very much. They held his hand and talked endlessly, as if Ye Zhan was theirs Like a son.Ye Zhan was also unceremonious, and regarded my parents as his parents, and coaxed the old couple to be happy with each "uncle and aunt".
