Reckless Youth of Delinquency

Text Chapter 144: Misfortune never comes alone

I said goodbye to everyone and got on the bus home. Logically speaking, if the school expels a student, the parents will definitely be notified, but my parents never showed up from the beginning to the end. Is it because they are desperate for me? This answer can only be revealed when you return home.

With my feet stepping on the land of Dongguan Town, I felt a little dizzy in my head. I am so familiar with every plant and tree here that I can walk home even if I close my eyes. This is my hometown, but it is also a place that I call a "nightmare". I worked so hard to get into the city high school just to be able to leave here and not see those classmates who once bullied me.

In the past, every time I walked in the streets and alleys here, I could not help but bow my head and bend down in fear, for fear of accidentally bumping into Zou Yang and his classmates (actually, I still bump into each other when I should, and I don’t bow my head when I should). It doesn’t matter if you bend or not). But now, I am walking on the road with my head held high and confidence in my eyes. Perhaps experience can really change a person.

The broad street gradually turned into a narrow lane, with low bungalows on both sides of the lane. This is an ordinary area in Dongguan Town, and my home is at the end of the lane, with a peach tree planted at the door. There is a place for trees. The peach tree was deliberately planted by my mother 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 for less than 3,000 yuan. Now it is so old that it seems like a gust of wind can blow it away. It has long been accustomed to leaking rain in summer and draft in winter. I'm timid when I'm close to home. The closer I get to home, the more nervous I feel. Pushing open the ajar door, what comes into view is a small courtyard, neatly tidied up by my mother. I don’t know if my parents knew about my expulsion. The previous majestic aura disappeared the moment I entered the courtyard, replaced by the faces of my parents in my mind who expected me to succeed. How disappointed would they look when they saw me? I didn't dare to think about it anymore, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Crossing the yard, I came to the main house, opened the weak wooden door, and unexpectedly found that my parents were at home. My father was sitting at the dining table smoking, and my mother was sitting on the sofa wiping tears. Both of them had sad faces. My heart sank, but I still said: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

My mother ignored me, still wiping her tears and sobbing quietly. My father looked up at me and said, "Why did you come back without taking anything?" Apparently he knew everything, and I felt increasingly sad.

"Dad, Mom. I'm sorry." I said softly, but I didn't even have the courage to sit down. No matter how brilliant my deeds were in Chenggao, they were worthless in front of them. "It's okay." Dad said, "I'm sorry for you."

"What?" I said confused, not knowing what it meant. My father didn't speak any more and kept smoking.

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

Mother's hands shook slightly, and the tears in her eyes became increasingly uncontrollable: "Your father...is laid off."

There was a roar in my mind. My father worked as a worker in a state-owned enterprise. He was the only person in the family who worked. All daily expenses depended on his meager salary. Now my father is laid off, which means the family will have no income!

"The house leaked and it rained all night." The father shook his head slightly: "Misfortunes never come alone, misfortunes never come alone..."

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

"Son, I don't have the face to see you." The father sighed: "I wish that on the day you were expelled, I would rush to the school immediately, pat your shoulder and say it doesn't matter, let's just find another school. . But I am neither a rich man nor a high-ranking official, I am just a humble common man. How can I have the confidence to say these things, and how can I have the confidence to comfort you?"

"Dad..." My tears flowed down uncontrollably. I wanted to say something to comfort my father, but they were all stuck in my throat.

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

I wiped away my tears and looked at my father.

"It's nothing to be fired. I know you have a clear conscience. I am the same. I was laid off and I have a clear conscience." The father breathed out: "No matter how difficult life is, we have to go on. Next, I am going to go outside. Working part-time, how about you?"

"I..." I suddenly found that the word "vocational college" couldn't be said. How sad would my parents be if they knew I wanted to go to a vocational college? They've been hit hard enough and I can't add to it at this point.

"Have you not decided on the school you want to go to?" Father said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just say it, your mother and I will fully support you, even if we sell everything to support you in school. I believe that with your ability, you can go to any school You can get into college even in high school!”

The mother, who had been wiping tears, also said: "Yes, your father and I have thought about it. You have always been a good child, and being expelled is not the result you want. It doesn't matter, students from Cheng High School, other high schools They are all rushing to get it. You can study at ease in another school, so you don’t have to feel too sad. Your father and I will not blame you."

Now that my parents have encountered the biggest problem in their lives, they still have to comfort me after I have been expelled. I felt extremely sad, as if I was being stabbed by something. My parents hope that I can go to high school and take the college entrance examination. If they knew that I wanted to go to a vocational college... I dare not think about it anymore. It would undoubtedly make them even more sad.

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

"Go to Beiyuan No. 7 Middle School." Father suddenly said: "That school is very close to Chenggao, so it shouldn't be too bad. I don't think other schools in Beiyuan City are any good. Haohao, go You have to study hard in the new school, but don’t fight with others anymore.”

"Yeah." I nodded. How could I say no, how could I bear to say no?

"Then it's settled." His father stood up and said, "I've finished helping you with the transfer procedures in the past few days, and I'm going to go out to work. I guess I still have to pay a sum of money, so I'll borrow some." He shook his head. Akira walked towards 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 it to you, but money is really 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 the seventh house we had entered, but we were still empty-handed. It's not that people here are not kind, but everyone is really poor. If I hadn't been poor, I wouldn't have lived here.

"Let's go and visit Old Sun's house again." Father said, "Old Sun is a businessman and always has some spare money on hand."

Entering Lao Sun's house, there were bursts of howling sounds. Lao Sun was being pressed down by his strong-backed wife.

"I gave you ten yuan to make soy sauce, and when I came back and said I lost the change, do you think I'm a fool?!" Lao Sun's wife yelled angrily: "I'm telling you, don't even think about taking a piece of it from me. Split the money!”

My father and I didn't even talk to Lao Sun, we just walked out. Standing on the road, we all looked sad.

"Let's go to Lao Zhang's house again..." Father sighed and walked back to Lao Zhang's house.

I followed my father and looked at his slightly stooped back. I felt more than a little bit sad. I thought of the 50,000 yuan I had deposited with Ye Zhan. If I could give it to my parents, it would definitely solve their urgent needs. At that time, workers' wages were generally only a few hundred yuan, and housing prices were only about 700 yuan per square meter. Fifty thousand yuan was enough to buy a building. But how to give the 50,000 yuan to my parents in a natural way? I was thinking about this problem, and when I looked up, I saw a store selling lottery tickets opposite.

"Dad." I suddenly shouted.

"What?" Father turned his head.

"Buy a lottery ticket."

"Why did you buy that thing?" The father shook his head. He would never believe that pie would fall from the sky.

"We are already unlucky enough." I said, "I don't care about this lottery ticket, but what if everything turns out to be reversed and we end up winning?"

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

I borrowed from several more houses, but still to no avail, so I had to go home first. I saw that it was almost time for school to end, so I quietly left the house, took out my mobile phone and 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 want to go to Beiqi?"

"I'm sure." I said, "This is what happened at home. I can't make my parents sad anymore."

The next day, Ye Zhan sent the money over. I hid the money first, then I randomly picked up a few pieces, and went to the lottery store with Ye Zhan. When the store was empty, I put a few pieces of money on the counter: "Boss, Do me a favor..."

After finishing everything, I took Ye Zhan home and left him to have lunch. I introduced Ye Zhan to my parents as my best friend when I was in Cheng High School. My parents were very enthusiastic about him and liked this good-looking guy. They held his hand and talked endlessly. It seemed that Ye Zhan was theirs. Like a biological son. Ye Zhan was also unceremonious and regarded my parents as his parents. He made the old couple happy by calling him "uncle and aunt".
