After experiencing the positive resistance incident of copying homework, my extreme fear of her has all turned into extreme disgust. In her class, I began to openly lie on the table to sleep, or read novels. If she throws me with a chalk tip, I will raise my head high and stare at her viciously, don't you want me to listen to the class? Then I'll listen "all in" right now. I no longer do the homework by myself. Since she thinks I plagiarized, then I can't bear the false name for nothing, so I simply don't do the math homework anymore, all the homework is copied.

Maybe things in this world are like this. The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of death. Although I was young at the time, my hatred for Teacher Zhao was not small, and it was like going out for my life. Gradually, she began to stop caring about me.

It's ridiculous and sad that the first time I really wanted to copy the homework, I couldn't borrow it. They all refused to show me. Just as I sneered in my heart that Teacher Zhao looked at me, Zhang Jun swaggered over and threw his homework on my desk without saying a word.

I didn't react for a while, staring at his homework in a daze. When he saw that I didn't move, he thought I didn't want to copy his homework, and said angrily, "I copied Chen Jin's homework." Chen Jin is in our class Gifted children, math has always been a perfect score, and they can get away from the second place in the exam with their eyes closed.

I immediately opened the homework and copied it. I don't know why, but I was very grateful, but I couldn't say "thank you". I just buried my head in the workbook and whispered, "I will copy what you do."

He sneered, not knowing exactly what he was sneering at.

I thought he had gone far, but after a long time, his voice suddenly sounded on top of my head: "Do you copy homework like this? Please! Can you modify it a little?" I immediately scribbled and scribbled. When I changed it, when I raised my head and wanted to ask him if he was okay, there was already no one around.

With Deng Xiaoping's market economic reform, China's southern gate opened, and the land of China began to experience an unprecedented transformation. The pop culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan influenced the mainland before their money and technology.

People of our age have been obsessed with "Chu Liuxiang", and Chu Xiangshuai, played by Zheng Shaoqiu, has become synonymous with suave and unrestrained; ten thousand people have competed to see "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Weng Meiling has almost become the Ronger of all people in the 1980s; Beach", many girls define the underworld as Chow Yun-fat.

We all used to bargain and battle wits with our parents in order to catch up on these TV sets. I just pretended to be asleep in order to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and when my parents were asleep, I got up secretly and slipped into the living room to watch TV, with my voice turned on very low and my ears close to the TV.

At that time, watching TV was not just a personal thing, it was a collective behavior. I watched it every night and exchanged with my classmates eagerly the next day. All the theme songs of TV dramas could be recorded and sung by just listening to them. If anyone in the class can be the first to have the lyrics of a TV series song, that is definitely something to be proud of. The whole class will surround you and ask you for the lyrics. Many girls have songbooks, where they use a pen to transcribe the lyrics word by word, with stickers of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars beside them, decorating it beautifully.

Among Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, the Tigers are definitely the most popular group. As their stickers and posters circulated in the class, the female classmates were all talking about the Little Tigers. Each of the three little tigers had fans. Which little tiger is more beautiful is a topic of endless debate among the girls. The tapes of the Little Tigers were heard in the class, and both boys and girls hummed "Green Apple Paradise", "Dating with the Stars" and "Love".

I have no friends in my life, and all these pleasures I enjoy from a distance.

My only friends are books, all kinds of books, as long as I can get them, whether I can understand them or not, I will read them from beginning to end. When the weather is warm, I can read anywhere in the school, but when the weather is cold, I have nowhere to go.

I have a strange hobby: I often go to that game room to read novels. Spend two cents on a cup of juice made from orange crystals, sit in a corner of the room and read a book, and take a sip every once in a while, making sure to finish the last sip before leaving. Actually, I don't like that orange juice at all, but in my little heart, there is a strange exchange standard. When I buy a glass of juice, I feel that I am not taking up your place for nothing, I spent money, then I can just sit there and read novels.

Over time, I gradually got to know the three people who played pool last time. The one watching the game is the owner of this store, his surname is Li, and everyone around him calls him Li Ge; the boy who calls me little sister is called Xu Xiaobo, and he is a junior high school student in the best key middle school in our city, and everyone calls him Xiaobo; Another older than him surnamed Zhai, they all call him squid, in technical school. Technical schools in China can be called "concentration camps for poor students" in a sense, which are places where students who can't get into high school or who can't get into a book go.

At the beginning, when I went to the store to read a book, Xiaobo almost broke his belly with laughter, and the squid looked at me with an unbelievable look on his face, with an expression like "you have a funny head", and he ridiculed and attacked me wildly. But no matter what they said, I didn't hear it at all. For someone who doesn't want to go home or stay at school, this heated house is undoubtedly a good place to go. Although there are many people, these people will not use the poor students. And looking at me with the eyes of bad students, everything reassured me.

Brother Li looked like he was used to the situation, and didn't mind if I borrowed his heater and lights. He just smiled and said to Xiaobo, "This little boy of yours is very interesting."

With the boss's acquiescence, I stayed in the game room with peace of mind.

In the game room, I read almost all the books at home: "Legends of Modern and Ancient", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Books and Swords", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the East", "Xue Dingshan's Expedition to the West", "Xue Gang Against the Tang Dynasty", "Yang Yang" "Jia Jiang" and "Hu Jia Jiang"... Among all the books, I like a novel by Gu Long that has been damaged the most, so I firmly remember the author's name.

When I was reading, I often forgot to eat and sleep. Some books couldn’t be put down, so I would stay up late to read under the quilt with a flashlight on. As I read more and more books, the words on the blackboard became more and more blurred. When my father found out that I had to carry a small bench to watch TV and wanted to stick it to the TV, he realized that I was short-sighted, and he took me with him. I went to the hospital to get a pair of glasses.

When I walked into the game room with glasses on, Xiaobo, who was helping to look at the store, was stunned for a moment. He continued to work as if nothing had happened. He was so busy that he couldn't hold back. He lay on the counter and laughed. The body continued to be busy as if nothing had happened.

When the squid saw me, he was not polite. He laughed and said to Xiaobo, "This four-eyed sister won't laugh at you for being short-sighted now."

None of them are myopic. I am a rare animal. They mocked me with squid, "Intellectuals! National treasure! National treasure!" When I was a 28-year-old girl, he could still call me "Four-Eyed Panda" in front of a bunch of people.

In elementary school, I felt that students who wore glasses were hardworking children. Ironically, I, the last one, was one of the first "four eyes" in the class to wear glasses. After changing seats once, I was at the same table with prodigy Chen Jin. He had just put on his glasses and couldn't help but ask me, "How did you become short-sighted?"

I hit a haha: "Watching TV."

Because as soon as I picked up the book, I completely forgot the outside world. In the eyes of Xiaobo and Squid, I was a nerd who read books.

Some popular songs are often played in the game room. Once, when it was put on the Little Tigers' "Green Apple Paradise", I suddenly raised my head from the book, turned my head to the side and listened intently. Xiaobo asked me, "Do you like the Little Tigers?" ?"

I shook my head, nodded again, shook my head again, I hadn't even really heard their tapes, how would I know if I liked them

The squid smiled: "The four-eyed panda is stupid when reading books, and he doesn't even know if he likes it or not."

I glared at him and said nothing.

When I was about to leave, Xiaobo handed me a half-old tape: "It's for you."

The cover of the tape was three little tigers. I took it over and watched it for a while with joy. Then I put it down and looked at him silently. He smiled and said, "This is for elementary school students, we don't listen to it very much. It's old. Even if you don't want it, you won't know where it will be thrown by us in a few days."

I took the tape and ran out of the game room without saying "thank you". That night, I was listening to the Tigers with our small tape recorder in my arms. The lyrics that have never been heard clearly are all clearly heard. In the singing of the Little Tigers, I felt a trance, as if I was not a poor student rejected by my classmates.

When my sister heard the singing of the Little Tigers, she took the initiative to approach me for the first time and asked me enviously where it came from.

With a smile, I proudly told her that my friend gave it to me. When I said the word "friend", there was an inexplicable warmth in my heart. Back then, I didn't know what it was, but I knew subconsciously that it was a very precious and precious thing.

One afternoon, I huddled in the game room reading a book, surrounded by only the sound of the game machine running, and the occasional resentful cursing of the person who had lost the game.

I comfortably raised my glass to drink orange juice, when I heard crying outside. That cries that can shake the world and frighten ghosts and gods are all too familiar, and every time my father and mother hear it, their expressions change, one is soft, the other is withdrawn, and the third is all agreeable.

Not my squeamish sister, who else could it be

I put down the glass calmly, pretended not to hear, lowered my head, and continued reading. However, this is the outside world, and the cries of my sister can't be called to my parents, and no one can dote on all her wishes, so a few minutes later, she is still crying, and she is quite out of breath. Gas, suspected of fainting at any time.

The squid couldn't stand the brain-piercing magic sound, so he opened the curtain and looked outside. My head was still facing the book, but I couldn't help but stare outside.

Two girls in junior high school uniforms with slanted bangs blocked my sister by the side of the road. Maybe she was blackmailing her sister's pocket money, maybe her sister offended a classmate, and the classmate invited "big sister" to teach her a lesson. My sister's classmate shivered and shrank aside, not daring to let go of a fart. The two girls were talking viciously to their sister, but the sister didn't pay any attention to what they said. She just looked up at the sky and cried with her mouth open. The scene was extremely funny.

According to my sister's style, they should have not finished stating their intentions, and just after showing a bit of fierceness, she began to cry up to the sky. The two of them have not tasted the sweetness, but they have already attracted a crowd of onlookers. They repeatedly ordered my sister to shut up and not cry, but they didn't know my sister so well that not only did my sister not listen to them, but she cried even louder.

One of the slightly fat girls probably felt that she couldn't even handle a little kid, and her face was seriously affected. She raised her hand and slapped her sister in shame.

I kept telling myself "it's nothing to do with me", but when I saw her slap, I was already rushing out like an angry bull before I was alert. In the words of the squid later, he only felt a murderous aura scraping from his side, and when he saw it clearly, I had already brought down a girl.

I lowered my head and slammed into the fat girl directly, just in time to hit her chest. A girl of that age, whose breasts are still developing, hit her so hard that she immediately squatted to the ground. The other girl was stunned for a while before she realized that she was still estimating how holy I am. Seeing that I was shorter than her, she immediately became arrogant and raised her hand to slap me. Hit her with his head, and push her with his knees. She was taller than me, so she grabbed my hair and pulled it up. The first time I fought, I immediately learned from practice, grabbed her hair and pulled it down.

At that time, I felt pain all over my body, but my ferocity came up again. I tried every way to hit her. She tugged at my hair, so I tugged her harder. She pinched me, then I pinched her even harder, and when we rolled to the ground, she tried to scratch my face with her fingernails, and I grabbed her with my hands without showing weakness, and even used my mouth to bite down viciously, and then no matter how hard she hit , No matter how I struggled, I wouldn't let go, the blood in my mouth was getting heavier and heavier, I still didn't let go, I just bit with all my strength.

Suddenly, she started crying, louder than my sister.

The squid and Xiaobo each grabbed one and separated us. When I was dragged away by Xiaobo, I kept kicking my feet and kicking the junior high school girl who had already been beaten and cried.

Squid and Xiaobo looked at me stupidly, like a little monster.

There are bloodstains on my face and neck, my glasses have been shattered, a piece of hair near my ear has been pulled off, and a large piece of flesh on the girl's wrist was almost bitten off, and the blood flow could not stop. , her friends turned pale with fright and cried, but I wiped the blood from the corners of my mouth at will, watching them sneer.

Brother Li took a look at the girl's injuries, his expression changed suddenly, and immediately rode his motorcycle to take the girl to the hospital.

My sister didn't cry anymore, she just stood there dumbfounded. Xiaobo took me into the game room, and while smearing my wound with iodine, he looked at his sister who came over and asked, "Who is she from you?"

I gasped and said reluctantly, "My sister."

"You have a sister?!"

"You have a sister?!"

Xiaobo's exclamation and my sister's classmates' exclamation came out at the same time. I turned my head away, and my sister lowered her head. Because my grades were not good and my nickname was "Three Hands", even though my squeamish and face-loving younger sister was in the same school as me, she never told anyone that she had an older sister, and occasionally bumped into me on campus, always I quickly turned my head and looked away, pretending I didn't see me, and I was so happy to deny this sister, I didn't like her anyway.

I drove my sister home first, and I stayed in the game room in a daze. This disaster was a big disaster, and I hadn't figured out how to face my parents.

The squid suddenly took out a folding knife, and opened the knife with a flick of his wrist: "You're fighting the wrong way."

He danced the knife and made a few gestures towards me, just as he was about to elaborate, Xiaobo grabbed his wrist, flipped it lightly, and snatched the knife from his hand. With a flick of a finger, the knife was closed. Obviously, if this is a fight, even if the squid has a knife, it can't beat Xiaobo.

Xiaobo threw the knife back to the squid and asked angrily, "What kind of nerve are you doing?"

The squid giggled: "It's better than her mouth." Then he said to me half-jokingly, "If you recognize Xiaobo as your elder brother and let him teach you to fight, no one will dare to touch you in the future."

I rolled my eyes and ignored him, my worry now is how to deal with my parents, not how to fight.

When I couldn't drag it any longer, I went home. The house was brightly lit, and the girl’s parents were sitting angrily in my living room. Her mother was like a frog scalded by boiling water, jumping up and down, croaking and scolding my parents. Mom and Dad apologized to them frequently.

Seeing me coming in, her mother's scolding became even louder. It seemed that my parents did not decapitate me on the spot, which was not enough to vent public anger. I ignored her, facing my dad, and said everything out loud. I fully carried forward the strategy of being anticlimactic and avoiding the key points, emphasizing how her daughter's companions bullied her sister, how she slapped her, the sister nodded with tears on the side, and there was a five-fingerprint on her face, which can be described as solid evidence.

Her shouting subsided, and she stubbornly said, "My daughter wouldn't do such a thing."

I did not refute her point of view, but followed her tone and began to state that her daughter had always been standing by the side, but due to the instigation of her companions, I accidentally hit me in the end, and I accidentally injured me out of self-defense , Anyway, I'm right, her daughter is not a big mistake, the most hateful are her daughter's friends.

That woman was much less arrogant. Sitting on the sofa at my house, she wiped away tears and said that her daughter had injured an artery and was bleeding a lot. The doctor said that if she was sent to the hospital later, her life would be in danger.

Dad and mom began to apologize again. Dad said that all expenses other than public reimbursement would be borne by our family. Mom took out a lot of nutritional supplements and gave them to them, saying that they would make up their daughter’s body. The atmosphere gradually eased, and finally they were delivered. Gone them.

This time I almost got killed, and my parents were so frightened that they all agreed that although it was right for me to be brave enough to protect my sister, it was still wrong to fight, so they asked me to kneel on the washboard for half the night.

The problem between adults was solved smoothly under the compromise of parents, but the problem between children has not been solved. The fat girl wanted to avenge her friend and save face because of Jin Lan's loyalty, so she went out to find two real sisters and taught me a good lesson.
