[4]
Subei Mo received a call from Su Jing this morning and went to the clinic.
Su Jing, who worked overtime all night, had a faint red blood in his eyes, and beside him sat an old man with gorgeous hair and a kind face. Subei Mo stepped forward quickly and called her: "Grandma."
Grandma Su immediately took Su Jing's hand and patted the back of his hand: "Beimo is here, you can go back. Seeing that you are tired and unable to walk steadily, I want this old lady to support you."
Every other month, Grandma Su has to go to the sanitation for a simple medical examination. It doesn't take much time, but there is always someone to accompany her. In this regard, both Su Ya and Su Jing take turns, and it is Su Jing's turn this month.
Su Jing usually works overtime and greets Su Ya in advance. This time he was too busy himself, thinking about it early in the morning.
And Su Ya was going to order goods at the stationery store today and went out early in the morning. Su Jing had no choice but to call Subei Mo.
"You, you are always at work, so Aqin doesn't want to live with you." Grandma Su often nags about old things. She likes Su Beimo's mother very much. So much so that Su Jing and Zhao Qin have been divorced for many years, and she still likes to talk about it.
She is old and confused. Knowing that my son doesn't like to listen, he still likes to read.
Su Jing was helpless: "Mom."
"Okay, I don't want you to accompany me anymore, go back to sleep." Grandma Su is most satisfied with this son, and the most dissatisfied is also this son, "I just want to have my precious grandson to accompany me."
They tossed back and forth, wasting most of the time. So that by noon, Grandma Su's physical examination was not over yet.
Subei Mo took out his mobile phone and checked the time, feeling that he was too late to go to the stationery store.
This also means that Liao Nanqing can't buy cigarettes today, so will he be beaten again
The sudden thought was so dull that it was like an egg in boiling water, solid inside, and solid enough to ignore with the temperature. Just like the heat of the afternoon distorting the sight, the whole city melted into the huge steam oven.
In the clinic, the cool air conditioner made the old lady sneeze. Su Beimo took a prepared thin coat from his backpack and put it on Grandma Su. Other old people around saw it with sharp eyes, and they all praised Grandma Su for having a good grandson. Saying that Subei Mo is tall and handsome, grandma Su can't help but laugh.
She said, "Yeah, my son and my daughter don't worry about it. But my grandson is really good. It's good to study since he was a child. You know the math competition in the city before, hey, that's the one, he's that one. We have to win awards every year. The certificates are posted in the living room of our house, there is a wall... "
The old people sang in harmony and praised each other's children and grandchildren.
Subei Mo was bored, but he couldn't smother the interest of his elders.
until someone mentions-
"You know, the grandson of the old woman on Dongjie is back..." The person who spoke lowered his voice, sneaking, "I don't know what to think, that kind of thing happened back then, and it's hard to walk away. Okay?"
"When did you come back?"
"I came back to live here half a year ago." The man clicked his tongue twice, "There might be bad luck in that house. I also heard that the old woman's grandson, he seemed to be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Su coughed twice.
She leaned on a cane, and instead of breaking her mouth with these people, she dragged Su Beimo's hand to the other side and sat down, and huddled with them to talk nonsense.
"Grandma, you don't fit in a bit." Su Beimo teased her.
"The family in East Street was also unfortunate back then... Hey, it's been so long, it's too immoral to talk about their family behind their backs like this." Grandma Su sighed, apparently having heard of the full version of the incident. Breath, don't say anything more.
The results of a simple physical examination can be released on the same day. Except for some old problems, Grandma Su's body is quite healthy. She left Subei Mo at home for dinner, and started fiddling with condiments as soon as she got home.
Some simple vegetables are grown on the balcony, and summer is the season to eat tender gourds. She broke off a green one and planned to stir-fry it with chicken soup at night. She held a small stool and sat outside on the balcony peeling edamame, her rough fingertips soaked with the juice of the pods. The day when the sun was blazing a second ago is now gloomy.
Subei Mo turned off the air conditioner and opened the balcony window for ventilation.
The sultry wind gradually became cooler, and Grandma Su looked up at the clock on the wall.
"Your aunt definitely didn't bring an umbrella. You bring it to her."
The stationery store is not far from Grandma Su's house, about fifteen minutes' walk away. Su Ya usually rides a bicycle to the store. After a while, it will rain and it will definitely be delayed when she gets home.
Subei Mo carried two umbrellas and trotted all the way.
I met Liao Nanqing on the road.
He always encounters Liao Nanqing and his miserable appearance.
Liao Nanqing in front of him was covered in chalk dust, sticky and sweaty, and he couldn't wipe it clean. A pair of eyes were slightly red, not like crying, but about to cry. But he was like this gloomy weather, with dark clouds, but not a drop of rain fell for a moment. Just silently tell others that I'm about to cry.
It's just that he still has a little restraint, so he can't cry.
Bored in my heart, endlessly repeating the emotions that are on the verge of collapse. Over and over again, suppressing trembling and anger.
There was a male classmate riding a bicycle speeding past, whistling at him.
Immediately afterwards, a bag of garbage fell from the sky and hit Liao Nanqing. Black trash bags fell to the floor, and the snack bags inside were littered with melted popsicles and crumbs of potato chips. They wanton Liao Nanqing, leaving traces on his hair.
The boy walked away, and Liao Nanqing seemed to be still in front of Subei Mo.
Subei Mo came across this scene and didn't know what to say. It's not appropriate to say hello, and it's not appropriate to get angry. He stood ten paces away from Liao Nanqing like a stupid big man, in a dilemma.
It was Liao Nanqing who took the rubbish off. I also felt that the coat was covered with dirt and was very disgusting, so I took off the coat in three or two times, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into my backpack. Then, he wiped his face and hurriedly walked in front of Subei Mo.
Call him like nothing.
"Subei Mo."
He opened his mouth, and his throat was quiet for a day, a little hoarse: "Why didn't you come to the stationery store today?"
Subei Mo swallowed, and looked away from Liao Nanqing's bleak appearance, with mixed feelings in his heart. It seems that he was bullied today because of his absence, so that he didn't buy cigarettes and all this happened: "Accompany my grandma for a medical examination."
Liao Nanqing noticed Subei Mo's small movements, and quietly sniffed the smell on his body, which was also mixed with some rancidity. The sack of garbage just now really smelled a lot. Even if he took off his coat, he still had some unpleasant smell on his body.
Even he himself felt stinky, not to mention Subei Mo.
Liao Nanqing consciously took two steps back and asked embarrassingly, "Then will you come tomorrow?"
Subei Mo hesitated for a moment.
Liao Nanqing's face turned pale, he took another step back, and said disappointedly, "Aren't you coming?"
Su Beimo looked at him with the same pitiful eyes as a puppy: "Come on." He paused, "But I won't sell you cigarettes anymore. You are wrong, the method is wrong."
Totally wrong.
The gloomy wind was damp and oppressive, and it was hard to breathe when it blew on the face. After blowing it for a long time, I felt a thin layer of cold sweat on my body, which was sticky and uncomfortable. Today, the rain stopped in the dark clouds, and it did not fall after waiting for a long time. Subei Mo raised his head and relaxed his neck, and he took a deep breath, not feeling very good.
Look at Liao Nanqing again. He was crying without making a sound.
His eyelashes were two dark clouds, and the teardrops fell first, quicker and more unprepared than this rain.
It was as if all the grievances today were locked in a box, and Subei Mo opened it with a single word. When the box is opened, the lock is broken, and the discomfort of not being able to close all emerges. Apart from crying, Liao Nanqing seemed to have no other way to express.
Subei Mo held the umbrella between his elbows and his trouser pockets, and was silent for a while.
Then he put a hand on his head and put what he thought was a bizarre act into practice: "Nothing can be solved by being submissive. The more timid you are, the more they will bully you. You know, they is wrong."
"But I can't help it."
Subei Mo sighed.
Liao Nanqing wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "I want to transfer to another school."
"Turn around."
"But my mom doesn't answer my phone, and my dad..." He hesitated, his cheeks wet. From the first time Subei Mo saw him, he felt that Liao Nanqing was a very forbearing boy. He was bullied and kept silent, and he did everything carefully, but he knew that this guy's depression was about to explode.
The time bomb will explode at any time, and once it does, it is the extreme after the corner.
At this time, the sky fell with raindrops, one or two, the bigger and the bigger. Liao Nanqing didn't mean to leave, and Subei Mo didn't urge him, and quietly opened an umbrella and handed it to him.
Subei Mo held the other one open, stood in front of him, waited patiently for him to cry, and said, "Go back and take a hot shower, eat a meal, and rest early."
With the noise of raindrops, Liao Nanqing choked and responded.
"Then rationalize your thoughts, and try to tell your head teacher about this tomorrow. Talk about it well, and they will definitely believe it."
"Yeah." The boy still replied obediently.
But Su Beimo's heart is very boring. The quicker he responds, the more boring he is in his heart. It's like a stove, which makes people uneasy.
That night, Subei Mo had a strange dream.
In the dream, there is a classroom scene, the white light is boundless, and the shadows of the trees outside the window are mottled and swaying in the wind. There was no one except him and Liao Nanqing. And Liao Nanqing was doing the question on his stomach, and he sat opposite him and gave a lecture to Liao Nanqing. After speaking many times, Liao Nanqing could not understand. Stupidly stupid, learning is really poor.
Subei Mo took the pen to mark the key points for him, the red refill did not water, and it didn't work after many strokes.
The more I scratched, the more irritable I became, and finally I crumpled up the test papers and threw them aside.
Liao Nanqing in front of him lowered his head, as if he had been heavily rebuked, and the bangs on his forehead were about to stick to the table.
Subei Mo wiped the sweat from his face and woke up.
The current time is half past seven in the morning.
The air conditioner was turned on at 26 degrees, covered with a quilt, and Subei Mo was woken up by the heat.
There was a buzzing vibration in the ear, and Subeimo picked up the phone and answered the phone: "Auntie."
"Beimo, the test papers ordered by the students in the store yesterday were not taken away. Today, you have to go to the store earlier. I still have something to do here. I will trouble you to check the store today."
Su Beimo rummaged through the closet for clothes and replied, "Okay, I'll go over now."
"By the way, I saw that you took off a box of Band-Aid, and you didn't sell it alone. Are you using it yourself?"
The daily sales of the stationery store are recorded, and this box of Band-Aid has never been recorded. Su Ya was a little worried. Could it be that Subei Mo was injured? Although it's certainly not a big problem, Su Ya has always raised Subei Mo as her own child, and she has to ask more questions when she sees it.
"I just saw a little hamster hurt, so I used it casually."
"Where did the hamsters come from in this place? Don't worry about those wild mice. What if you get caught and bitten, just be careful yourself." Su Ya repeatedly asked before hanging up the phone with confidence.
Subeimo felt a headache at his metaphor, Gu Zi smiled, Liao Nanqing's temper was almost as good as someone else bit him.
