On a cold winter day, fifteen-year-old Ni Yangzhou was rushing home excitedly with a schoolbag full of birthday presents on his back. There was still unmelted snow on the road.
When the sun shines on it, it looks like sparkling diamonds buried there.
When Ni Yangzhou got home, he searched his pockets and found that he didn't bring his keys, so he knocked on the door and shouted, "Mom! Mom!
I'm back and I didn't bring my keys!"
There was a dragging sound in the room, and an injured woman crawled to the door.
Opened a dark door for his son.
-------------------------------------
"I never knew blood was so red before that."
Ni Yangzhou said sullenly under the quilt.
"The blood that came out of the beating was bright red and sticky, and it spread all over the ground."
The broken chair legs were thrown aside, and the room was in a mess, with broken glass and porcelain pieces all over the floor, as if a hurricane had passed through.
“Originally, my mother was knocked unconscious by him, and he thought he had killed someone and ran away in fear.
I went home and knocked on the door, and finally woke her up after she had fainted for a long time. "
"Since then, my mother's legs have been damaged. No matter how she nurses them or repairs them, she always limps."
"My mother became a cripple."
There was shiny liquid in Ni Yangzhou's eyes.
"The hospital was full of visitors. My mother was an only child. My grandparents died in a car accident. The owner of the car was fully responsible and paid a lot of money. Later, my father used the money to do business. He was a businessman and was successful. He built a medium-sized company.
Everyone who came surrounded him, spoke in his favor, and begged him to give them a position or some benefits, so they all advised my mother to forgive him. "
Ni Yangzhou was at his mother's bedside, listening to those words with tears streaming down his face.
——He was also confused for a moment.
——He is just in a bad mood.
——A harmonious family brings prosperity.
——He even knelt down to apologize to you.
——He already knew he was wrong.
——He didn't really hit me hard, he just hit me in unimportant places. If he had hit me on the body, I would definitely not have stayed in the hospital for a few days.
——He is so angry but he doesn’t do anything harsh to you. He loves you from the bottom of his heart. Even if he is furious, he will subconsciously not really hurt you.
——Besides, you are not wrong?
——Men need to be coaxed, stroked, given face, and allowed to make the decision, because they are men after all.
——There is no man who doesn’t use violence. He was just angry. The children grow up, time passes, and a lifetime will pass.
——What happens when you get old? Isn’t it up to you to decide?
——He was really scared this time. He will definitely remember this lesson.
——Men are all like this.
——Can you promise that you won’t do it next time?
——Your leg is lame, who would want you?
—You're looking for a job on your own? You're crazy. Who wants a cripple like you?
——Your child is about to take the high school entrance exam. If not for yourself, you have to think about him.
——You have to think about the children.
——Do you want him to have a stepmother and live a dependent life, or live like a dog with you, a lame mother, with one meal a day and one meal a day?
Ni Yangzhou hated every relative who came to negotiate peace equally.
He drove every one of them away, chased every one of them away, and every one of them continued to come and lobby after he went to school.
His soft-hearted mother finally gave up the divorce lawsuit.
He felt sorry for her misfortune and was angry at her for not fighting back, but what he hated even more was himself for becoming a burden to his mother.
That incompetent man pretended to be good for a while, good enough to say sweet words, good enough to admit his mistakes in tears, good enough to do everything himself.
But nothing will affect his next move.
Ni Yangzhou begged and cried, pulling his mother along, saying he wanted to rent a house to live on his own and drop out of school to support his mother.
“Then my mother slapped me.
She endures, she sacrifices, and she bears silently.
She made her biggest compromise. In her mind, she did everything she could to be good to me. She was just using her whole life to love me. "
But mom, you don’t know.
"What I hope most is that you have a happy life of your own."
Ni Yangzhou's tears finally flowed down, with his body temperature, and fell into Meng Ting's palm.
-------------------------------------
In fact, there is a second half to the story.
The sixteen-year-old Ni Yangzhou pretended nothing had happened and on the surface still maintained a father-son relationship with his father. He would even smile at him quietly when he greeted him.
It’s just that Ni Yangzhou secretly installed cameras at home.
He practiced Sanda hard and hid a knife under his pillow and a baseball bat under his bed.
You can't just tell my mother to fight back without any words. She doesn't have the strength, and she has been beaten so many times that she is psychologically frightened. That angry man has become her nightmare.
Finally, after collecting evidence, he rushed home with a knife on the day he was supposed to go to school.
Everything went smoothly after that.
The mother was in a daze for a long time after getting rid of that environment. Finally, a few days after getting the divorce certificate, she burst into tears in front of her son in the new rented house, venting the pain she had suffered in her life.
It was a bit difficult at first.
After all, that man was still his father, he had more life experience and more means, he just didn't expect his son to be so cruel.
After the divorce, there were not many liquid assets left, and the quality of life plummeted. When money was tight, my mother tried desperately to hastily start a new marriage to maintain the family, but was ultimately persuaded by Ni Yangzhou.
He wasn't angry at what his mother did.
My mother has been beautiful since she was young, or rather, no matter whether she is beautiful or not, people will always find a way to make her more beautiful and weaker.
Whenever I go out to play, I will be harassed by strange men, both when I was a child and when I grow up. The incompetent man is suspicious and always suspects that he is cuckolded. Of course, this is just one of the trivial reasons for him to take action.
The growing environment and those words invaded my mother's mind like drugs.
Ni Yangzhou sometimes just feels powerless.
Mother is like a flower, framed in a strange shape, pruned, and twisted. In order to get the scarce sunshine and rain, she tries hard to be obedient and to make herself look aesthetically pleasing.
She became a sick plum.
Later, life gradually improved, and my mother got her own job. She finally began to grow towards the place she wanted to go, trying to grow luxuriantly and become what a big tree should be.
But Ni Yangzhou himself was in a car accident.
The boy was silent with tears streaming down his face.
Meng Ting came closer, put her arms around Ni Yangzhou, stroked the jade pendant on his chest, and gently tapped the boy's brow.
Ni Yangzhou, tired of crying, fell into a gentle dream.
-------------------------------------
Ni Yangzhou was awakened by a ringing phone early in the morning. He rubbed his sore eyes and got up. He saw steamed dumplings on the table. He picked up the phone and it was Li Yuan's voice.
"Brother Ni, Pan Dongxue's birthday is today. She said she wants to host a dinner at home. Do you want to go? It's 7pm."
Li Yuan looked at his girlfriend beside him, who was pulling Pan Dongxue to look at him together, and both of them had expectant expressions.
Ni Yangzhou responded, "Meng Ting should go too, with me."
"That's great, welcome, top student!"
Pan Dongxue took the phone and invited him personally, "Don't forget, classmate Ni, my dad said he wants to cook his specialty this time!"
"Okay, I will. Happy birthday to you!"
Pan Dongxue smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when you come."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ting also came in from the east room, settled other things, and watched the boy with red and swollen eyes eating steamed dumplings at the table.
He ate one bite at a time, and there was still some residue stuck at the corners of his mouth.
"Good morning, Teacher Xiao Meng."
What happened last night brought the two closer together. Meng Ting handed the paper to Ni Yangzhou, who then wiped his mouth.
"Pan Dongxue's birthday is at 7pm, and she's treating us at her restaurant. I've included you in the party, so we can go together tonight."
Meng Ting nodded without refuting.
"How are we going to get to the park later? Walk or take the bus?"
The boy did not forget the plan he talked about yesterday.
Meng Ting said, "Wait a moment before going." Then he stood up and was about to go out.
"Hey? What's wrong?"
Meng Ting took a mirror and saw a pair of eyes that were swollen like peaches.
"Wow! No wonder I felt like Teacher Meng looked flat today. It turns out that I couldn't open my eyes because they were so swollen."
Meng Ting ignored the boy's nonsense and went out for a while. When he came back, he brought two popsicles. Ni Yangzhou's eyes were finally swollen after the ice compress.
When the task progress was reported last night, Ni Yangzhou had just finished his homework and was packing his schoolbag.
There is still no change, still 49.9%.
We're used to it. It would be strange if it changed. I don't know what to do to move forward.
The park was not far away. When Meng Ting and Ni Yangzhou arrived, they found that the park was a sea of children on weekends.
In the early days, there were too few places for leisure and entertainment, and parks were as busy as tourist attractions.
This park was built only seven or eight years ago, so its facilities are still considered new. There is a bamboo forest as soon as you enter the gate. Along a winding road, there are flowers and nurseries on the east side, a large lake on the west side, and an amusement park and children's playground at the innermost side.
The lake is vast and was originally part of the local river. The banks are planted with willows. There is a boat rental hut at one end of the lake, where you can choose a double or four-person boat to explore the lake.
The two looked at each other amid the laughter of parents and children, and suddenly felt that visiting the park for two high school boys might not be such a good way to spend their time.
However, Ni Yangzhou held his head high and recalled the famous four-character motto.
Pulling Meng Ting's arm, he said seriously:
“As the saying goes:
Come all come!
Enjoy it! ”
Meng Ting also wanted to pull Ni Yangzhou with amusement, but the boy slipped away like a loach.
Ni Yangzhou walked to the place where children's toys were sold, pointed at the fluffy and soft ones, and shouted:
"Dad Meng, I want this!"
Passersby turned their heads one after another, and Meng Ting walked over and paid without changing his expression.
Ni Yangzhou felt like he had merged into the sea of happy children and took three big bites of the food.
"Today! I want to enjoy my freedom!"
The boy strode with his head held high, pulling Meng Ting into the amusement park, fully enjoying the freedom of a high school boy.
I rode the roller coaster three times, the pirate ship five times, the hurricane chairlift twice, and the coffee spinner twice.
There was also a haunted house.
After going through the whole process, Ni Yangzhou's face turned pale from excitement at the beginning, and when he finally came out of the haunted house, he was already carried on Meng Ting's back.
I guess I'm just a little bit afraid of ghosts.
"I want to... come down..."
Ni Yangzhou moaned on Meng Ting's back, and Meng Ting lifted his butt up a bit to ensure that the boy was lying steadily.
Only then did he walk to the bench and put down the boy who had a tachycardia but a hard mouth.
Meng Ting bought a bottle of water, and Ni Yangzhou held his chest and drank the water to calm himself.
Before I could catch my breath, a zombie ran out from behind the haunted house.
The kind with a talisman on his forehead, dark circles under his eyes, and wearing Qing Dynasty clothes.
Ni Yangzhou turned around silently and faced Meng Ting, his face showing the look of wanting to cry but without any tears.
"Why did you chase him out?"
The zombie looked around, locked onto the two boys, ran closer, opened its mouth and spoke, and it turned out to be a girl.
"Hello handsome guy, I was looking at you just now. Do you have a girlfriend? Can you leave me your phone number?"
Ni Yangzhou turned his back to the zombies and thought, great, the protagonist's face is really killer.
Meng Ting did not answer.
Ni Yangzhou looked up and Meng Ting was looking down at him.
"Handsome guy, it's you, okay?"
Ni Yangzhou turned around and mustered up the courage to face the girl who was still wearing zombie makeup. The girl's eyes met his.
Oh, so what you want is my cell phone number.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. I..."
The girl was a little sad, and when she pursed her lips, her half-foot-long fake tongue fell out.
"I... am afraid..."
Ni Yangzhou turned around with trembling hands and hugged Meng Ting, seeking the comfort of masculine energy from the cold and calm boy.
"Are you afraid that your boyfriend will be sad?" The girl sighed sadly.
"Okay, I'm sorry I didn't see it at first. I wish you a happy marriage."
The girl walked away sadly.
Ni Yangzhou looked up at Meng Ting, and the other party moved his gaze from his back to Ni Yangzhou's face.
"Dad Meng," Ni Yangzhou let go of his hand awkwardly, "She slandered our pure father-son relationship."
Meng Ting pulled the boy up and slowly led them to the lake.
"It's okay. I don't want to be your father either."
Ni Yangzhou knew that the development of his relationship would affect the entire body, and finally he trembled in fear, not daring to talk nonsense anymore, and he didn't have the courage to ask, "Then what do you want to be to me?"
Definitely best friends, for sure.
Ni Yangzhou comforted himself.
"Pick a boat."
Meng Ting paid the money, Ni Yangzhou stood on the shore and watched for a long time, then got on the little yellow duck with Meng Ting.
Wearing an orange life jacket, sitting on a small brown cushion, and pedaling to move the boat forward, I looked like a model-good youth who could be printed in a Chinese textbook.
Ni Yangzhou turned his head to look at Meng Ting. He was just like a character in a middle school boy's comic who was extremely handsome but unaware of it. The lakeside with willows swaying in the wind could even serve as his blurred background.
It doesn’t matter, Ni Yangzhou still pedaled happily.
Appearance doesn't matter, health is the most important thing.
Then the boat began to circle in place.
Ni Yangzhou asked doubtfully: "Brother Meng, are you Ultraman?"
Meng Ting looked confused, "What?"
Ni Yangzhou pointed at the boat that was spinning in circles and said, "Let's stir up a new storm here?
...Haven’t you heard of it?”
Ni Yangzhou looked at Meng Ting and suddenly sang:
"A new storm has emerged!
How can we stand still? "
The boy patted Meng Ting's legs, and Meng Ting finally started to pedal. The boat began to move slowly, and the cute plastic yellow duck swam into the center of the lake.
Ni Yangzhou then started singing.
“…travel through time and space.
Do your best.
I will come to you."
