Zheng Tan watched the child in front walk into an old residential area, paused, and followed.
Originally, Zheng Tan just planned to go in and have a look at this residential area. When he saw the child in front of him walking into the building, he didn't follow him. He didn't expect that not long after the child entered the building, he came out again and looked at Zheng Tan's side.
After experiencing some things, Zheng Tan is very sensitive to the good and evil expressed in the eyes of some people, but the child standing at the entrance of the stairs is just looking forward, and has no malice.
After thinking about it, Zheng Tan walked over.
Seeing the cat following, Fu Lei walked into the building with a smile, and then stepped up the stairs step by step. He used to run up straight in one breath, but now he took a few steps to see if the cat behind him followed. come up.
Zheng Tan saw the child stopped in front of a house on the fourth floor, took out the key from his schoolbag, opened the door, and waved to Zheng Tan after entering.
Zheng Tan listened to the movement inside, except for the child, there seemed to be no one else in the room at the moment, so he lifted his foot and walked in.
A very ordinary family, simple and simple, with relatively old furniture, about 50 square meters in total, smaller than Jiao's house, Zheng Tan felt a little crowded. There are only two bedrooms in this house, two bedrooms and one living room. The child's room is the second bedroom. It looks about the size of the little grapefruit room, but it is much messier than the small grapefruit room. There are also a few books on the ground. When Zheng Tan walked over, he saw that one of the books had the cover open, with the name Fu Lei written on it.
Each stroke is powerful and sturdy, but when these strokes are put together, it feels like a lot of difference.
While Zheng Tan was observing Fu Lei's small room, Fu Lei put a fish head in front of Zheng Tan.
This should be yesterday's dish. It was just taken out of the refrigerator, and it was still cold. The soup sticking to the fish head was frozen.
Zheng Tan looked at the fish head placed on a scratch paper in front of him, and turned to look elsewhere.
"Don't eat?"
Fu Lei was puzzled. If this was the cat from the house next door, it probably wouldn't wait for the fish's head to settle down and run away.
Zheng Tan walked around the small room, then jumped onto the desk piled with clutter. The books are rather messy, with one exception - a small trophy carved in dark wood is there, clear of other debris around the trophy, and clean, not covered in a layer of gray like the piggy bank next to it. , it is obvious that the owner often wipes it, and this thing is regarded as heavier.
"This is what I got when I was ten years old!" Fu Lei picked up the small trophy and said proudly.
As soon as he is happy, the child talks a lot.
Like many people Zheng Tan has seen before, when facing animals, people's defenses will be lowered, and they will say whatever is on their minds, and they will not hide it.
For children, some happy and proud things are willing to share, even if there is only a cat in front of them who may not understand anything.
From Fu Lei's remarks, Zheng Tan knew that this child really had practiced, but he was born in the wild.
Fu Lei's hometown is in the countryside. When he was a child, his parents were busy. He followed his grandparents in the countryside. A master in the village opened a small martial arts hall, and the children in the village would go there to learn. Fu Lei is one of them.
To learn martial arts and keep fit, the elderly are still happy.
And this wood carving trophy was carved by Fu Lei's Ye Luzi master himself.
Fu Lei won the trophy by beating four other children about his age in an exam. But later, the martial arts hall could not be opened, and the master Ye Luzi went south to work with a few young people in the village. I heard that working as a security guard in the south can earn thousands of yuan a month, and there was no news after that. I went out and never came back.
Although there is no one to teach, Fu Lei still practices by himself whenever he has time. When he was in fifth grade, his parents took him to the city, and he did not buy a bicycle. His parents were too busy to have time. In order to save bus fares, Fu Lei ran. Go and run back.
I have encountered such things as being blocked and blackmailed by senior students a few times. Each time it was solved by fighting, sometimes winning, and sometimes losing if there were many opponents. At the same time, Fu Lei also gave Many people left the impression of a bad student. Therefore, many of Fu Lei's elementary school classmates were reluctant to contact him.
After entering junior high school, some people also spread about Fu Lei's deeds, so even if it's not long after school started, Fu Lei, a bad student, has already worn his hat, otherwise he wouldn't have been thrown to the last row by the teacher and stared at him. One eye is closed and the other is too lazy to discipline.
Fu Lei felt that he was not interested in learning, and thought that when he grew up, he would go to the south to work like his wild Luzi master. When he first started talking like this, Fu Lei was beaten up by his father. He beat him so hard that he lay in bed for a week.
Fu Lei once mentioned that he didn't want to study, and his father solved it with a fist. Therefore, Fu Lei didn't say it later. He held the mentality of "letting it go by" and mixed it like this. Xiao Shengchu didn't have much difficulty because of the national policy, and his household registration was in this area. He was stuffed into the current junior high school, hoping that he could "study hard and make progress every day". Fu Lei's response to this sentence was to dig his ears.
Speaking of the latter, Fu Lei's mood dropped again. He felt that going to school was boring.
Putting the woodcarving trophy away carefully, Fu Lei opened the drawer, took out a box of ointment, and rubbed it on the broken hands.
Zheng Tan looked at it. There were all kinds of ointments in the drawer. Did Fu Lei's parents buy so much for this child's fight
Really embarrassing.
After wiping the ointment, Fu Lei sat on the ground, dragged his schoolbag over, took out a few pens inside and looked at them, and threw the broken shell aside, and the refills inside could be used again after being pulled out.
As I was drawing the refill, the door lock rang, and there was the sound of the key opening the door.
Fu Lei was startled, he stuffed all the pens in his hand into his schoolbag, and said to Zheng at the same time, "Hide it!"
Zheng Tan didn't know why Fu Lei said that, but he quickly hid under the bed.
The next moment, the door opened, and a man in his forties walked in. After seeing Fu Lei, it was like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time suddenly erupted.
"Fu Lei! Are you skipping class again?!"
The man strode over, looked at the ointment beside him, and shouted, "You Tamar fights again?!"
Then, Zheng Tan heard the sound of Fu Lei being beaten, and it was probably his butt pumping.
This dad's temper is really hot enough, and he starts fighting without asking why. However, this also shows from another perspective that this guy, Fu Lei, does fight a lot and even skips classes.
"My Tamar spent so much money to put you in that school, just to make you play truant and fight?! If I forgot something and came back home to get it at home today, I would have let your kid escape, you bastard!"
Fu Lei's father was beating and scolding, and hurried back to get something. He saw Fu Lei without drinking water. Now that he was beating for a while, he was probably tired and sat beside the bed, gasping for breath, but his mouth didn't stop.
"Everything is inferior, but reading is high. If you don't study, are you going to spend all day working in factories like me with a meager salary?! Now a five-star hotel concierge has to speak a few foreign languages. Can't you see the motto I wrote to you?"
Saying that, Fu Lei's father pointed to a calligraphy on the bedside of Fu Lei's room.
Speaking of Fu Lei’s father, although he only went to primary school, he later learned some techniques from his own apprentice, and now he works in the factory with that little technique. Working as a salesperson in a small supermarket, the couple suffered from lack of knowledge and education, so I especially hoped that Fu Lei could read it carefully, and used the motto of "study hard and improve every day" as the great man said.
For this reason, Fu Lei's father also wrote a paper with a brush and put it on Fu Lei's bedside. As a result, when he looked at it now, he found that Fu Lei had already altered the paper.
At this moment, on the head of the bed are huge eight characters - "Study, my husband goes up".
Fu Lei's father's speech that he was about to blurt out stopped halfway, and after a two-second pause, he took off his shoes and pulled towards Fu Lei.
Zheng Tan looked over from under the bed, he couldn't see the whole body, only four legs, but with the sound, he could tell how badly Fu Lei was beaten by his father.
But that's it, this kid Fu Lei still didn't hum.
Fu Lei's father estimated that he was in a hurry. After taking a few strokes, he found a piece of paper and wrote a leave request, signed his name on the back, slapped it on the table, and then went out. The action was too strong, and it was issued when the door was closed. A loud "bang" sound.
Zheng Tan got out from under the bed and looked at Fu Lei, who was rubbing his butt with a wrinkled face, and then his eyes fell on the piece of paper that Fu Lei's father left behind. After reading the content on it, Zheng Tan was dumbfounded. Feel. This is a request for leave, even the excuses are written, followed by Fu Lei's father's signature.
Zheng Tan didn't know what to say about the father and son. However, Zheng Tan felt that Fu Lei's father's views were a bit extreme. If he knew that ten years later, there would be a large number of college students holding various certificates to crowd the job fair. What kind of mood would it be to sell labor cheaply and lead the experts in many fields
However, this society is inherently complex. In a pyramid-shaped society, there are always only a few people at the top of the tower.
Of course, what Fu Lei's father said was correct, but not entirely correct. It would depend on how Fu Lei would deal with it in the future.
Zheng Tan saw that after Fu Lei had put away the note, he calmly packed his schoolbag, and knew that this kind of situation often happened.
This guy really sucks.
Suddenly, Zheng Tan thought, what would happen if Fu Lei was asked to run 1,500 meters
This guy ran here and there by himself when he was in elementary school. His physical strength is good, he should have good stamina, and it also saves Jiao Yuan and the others from worrying about it for a few days.
The question now is, how to get Fu Lei to agree to go for a run? In the same class, it is impossible for Fu Lei to not know about the sports meeting. No one has signed up for long-distance running. He also knows what it means to have not signed up until now? or other reasons
Forget it, let Jiao Yuan ask for it himself.
After staying with Fu Lei for a while, Zheng Tan looked at the alarm clock on the table, it was time to go home.
"Huh? Are you leaving?" Fu Lei saw the black cat running towards the door, got up, walked over, and opened the door.
Zheng Tan glanced at Fu Lei, then at his house number, and then went downstairs.
