Chapter 11 Growing Up Really Slowly

The summer in Pingnan is always cloudy and sunny. It is often sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon, there will be strong winds and heavy rain.Just after school was over at [-]:[-] p.m., a heavy rain came just as soon as it was said, and the students who had been staying up for a week complained about God.

Luo Xiaofei hooked his schoolbag, leaned against the door of the classroom to watch the rain, and sighed: "God has a grudge against us, so we can't see us on vacation."

Li Tingjun also had the same confusion: "Isn't it?"

Wang Jing patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Brother Meng, why don't you take our car and I'll ask the driver to give you a ride." The old driver of the Wang family had already put up an umbrella and was waiting for him in the rain.

Li and Luo became energetic in an instant: "Then I will trouble your uncle, the driver!"

Duan Ye had just packed his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom with an umbrella.Wang Jing stopped him: "Third brother, why don't you take our car back?"

"No need." Duan Ye shook his head and walked into the rain.

Duan Ye grew up being served by others, but he is not a delicate person.When I was young, I was used to being beaten by my father, and when I grow up, I can endure hardships more than my peers.Although he and his highly respected father at home always talk nonchalantly and get angry when they disagree, but he respects his father very much from the bottom of his heart.

When he was young, Liang Mei took him to the army to visit his father, and lived in the army's family dormitory for a while.One afternoon, Duan Ye came home after playing ball. When he went up to the second floor, he saw another family member in the same building panicked in front of the neighbor's window. There was a baseball and broken glass lying on the ground.After seeing Duan Ye, the child immediately stood up and ran away.

"Hey, don't run!" Duan Ye yelled, but the child had already run down the corridor in the other direction.

As soon as Duan Ye rushed to the broken glass window, the door of the neighbor's house opened, and a group of adults frowned at him with different expressions, including his parents.

Little Duan Ye's self-esteem is stronger than steel, and he shouted at the adults: "It's not me!"

Seeing that both Duan Ruilin and Liang Mei were embarrassed to speak, the neighbor's aunt spoke for Duan Ye first: "Hey, it's okay, it's normal for children to be naughty, it's okay, auntie, I don't blame you, we will replace this window with a new one." Just do it."

When Liang Mei heard her son say it wasn't him, she was relieved, and couldn't listen to the neighbor's generous words at all.She asked, "Duan Ye, is it really not you?"

"It's not me." Duan Ye was extremely sure. When he said this, he looked up at Liang Mei and Duan Ruilin with "I have a lot of backbone" all over his face.

Duan Ruilin nodded: "Then who you saw just now and what you were doing, you answer truthfully."

Duan Ye didn't know the child's name, but he knew whose family it was. He told the scene he saw just now, what clothes the child was wearing, how long his hair was, what color the shoes were, and which direction he ran away. Ten tell the truth.

Duan Ruilin nodded again, with more trust in his eyes: "Okay, I understand, it's not you."

"My son doesn't play baseball. If it was him, we would definitely punish him and compensate you for the losses. But if it wasn't him, you don't need to forgive prematurely." To save face, she should only say yes, but didn't say anything else.

After dinner in the evening, the child who broke the glass window was led by his parents. He first went to Lingju's house to apologize, and then was led to apologize in front of Duan Ye.

Liang Mei pushed her son and said, "Hurry up and say it's okay."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you know your mistakes and correct them, don't run away next time you make a mistake." Duan Ye said, if no one believed him at the time, then he would be the one being dragged around by his parents to apologize now.Duan Ruilin knew that what children want is justice.

Duan Ye shook hands with the child, and when he looked up at Duan Ruilin who was reading the newspaper next to him, he found that the other party was also looking at him, and nodded to him.

"You did a good job today. You have to know that seeing is believing. Tell what you see. As long as you don't lie, someone will believe you."

In Duan Ye's impression, his father rarely praised him.This was the first time Duan Ye was recognized by his father, so he remembered it for a long time.

As long as you don't lie, someone will always believe you.

Duan Ye recalled on the bus when he was a child, in fact, Duan Ruilin had educated him, his father had always set himself as an example, teaching him how to behave.He also didn't want to be looked down upon by Duan Ruilin, he wanted to prove to him that his son was not a spoiled person, not a coward.Even if the driver is removed, even if the bus stops, Duan Ye can run home.And now it's just a light rain, what a big deal.

But this is not an ordinary rain, but the heaviest rain in Pingnan this summer. The live news broadcast hastened to send out a red rainstorm warning signal, informing citizens not to go out during the rainstorm.

And Duan Ye, who just arrived at the station and got off the bus, found that his umbrella had fallen on the bus...

Good guy, his African physique is really amazing... Duan Ye silently looked at the bus going away, even if the heavy rain turned the city upside down, he would go home and prove that he is a strong boy...

"came back?"

The deep voice came to the eardrums, sounding like an old man with vicissitudes.Duan Ye raised his head, big drops of water immediately hit his face.He suddenly discovered that the owner of this voice turned out to be his elderly father.

Duan Ruilin turned half a hundred this year, and now he has retired from the front line and returned to the Pingnan Public Security Bureau to work. If there is no accident, he will be able to retire with honor in a few years.Thinking of this, Duan Ye couldn't help but feel guilty—he grew up too slowly, he was only 15 years old, he was only 15 years old, he couldn't do anything at 15 years old, his parents were aging faster than himself 15 years old.

"Ah."

Duan Ye was changing his shoes at the entrance on the first floor. Just as he took them off, the water attached to the sneakers also leaked out and wet the floor.The summer rain in Pingnan is always indistinguishable from the depth, and I don’t know how many people have been taught to swim.

Duan Ruilin put down the newspaper in his hand, and his reading glasses fell on the bridge of his nose. He glanced at Duan Ye and said, "Go and change into dry clothes before coming down to eat."

"it is good."

In the kitchen, the cooking auntie and Liang Mei were choosing dishes. The auntie said, "Master Ye and the master have the same temper. On the surface, no one will let anyone go. In fact, the two father and son are like mirrors in their hearts. That's right, sometimes it's scary to quarrel. , but it is also a matter of the day when they lose their temper, and the next day they are like normal people again, so funny."

"They've always been like this, it's funny." Liang Mei shook her head helplessly, and poured all the vegetable leaves into the sink to soak, "Before Ye'er came back, the father was pacing back and forth at the door of the house, muttering Thinking about why the rain is so heavy, when I saw someone approaching the gate of the yard, I immediately shrank to the sofa and read the newspaper."

"Master, too, the driver is not allowed to pick it up in such a heavy rain."

"He, save face, the military order is like a mountain, how can you take back what you say so quickly?" Liang Mei looked towards the hall again, Duan Ye had already changed his clothes and went downstairs, he put his shirt into his trousers and straightened his collar Very straightforward, very serious, and she, the mother, smiled helplessly.

"Xiaoye, try this dish quickly, your mother and I just learned it."

Liang Mei is the apple of the eye of the Liang family. The Liang family's business has always been doing well. The old parents felt sorry for their daughter marrying a soldier. They were afraid that her daughter would suffer, so they gave Liang Mei a lot of shares after Duan Ye was born. She can be a young mistress at home with peace of mind.Duan Ruilin also felt sorry for his young wife. His love for Liang Mei was not fake. All these years, he had allowed her to be pampered at home, doing whatever she liked, and never made her suffer.

Duan Ye stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece into his mouth. He immediately revealed a look of surprise, and changed his tone like those gourmets on TV shows, saying, "The inside is tender and the outside is crispy, and the sugar and oil are moderate. It's really an excellent dish. .”

Liang Mei was amused, "You are the only one who can coax your mother."

"It's really good, there's progress." Duan Ruilin also ate a piece, and made a timely comment, which stunned Duan Ye and Liang Mei beside him.

"Okay, okay, I know what level I am, you father and son stop coaxing me." Satisfied, Liang Mei rewarded each of them with a piece of meat.

The rain outside the house seemed to have no intention of stopping, but the lights in the house were bright and warm. Taking advantage of the sound of the rain, the family was eating quietly.Duan Ye was taught by the old Duan since he was a child to eat and sleep without talking. He only said a few words at the beginning, and then didn't speak again. The atmosphere at the table was rare and harmonious.After entering high school, Duan Ye asked to live on campus. Liang Mei disagreed at first, but later she couldn't resist her son's persistence, so she personally sent him to the school and helped him take care of everything.Liang Mei claims that she is not a loving mother to her son, but she just doesn't want her son to suffer, so even though Duan Ye lives in the school, the pocket money that should be given, the driver should be provided, the food should be improved, and Liang Mei has done nothing less.

"It's raining so much, and you come back in the rain. You really don't take care of your body. Drink some ginger tea later, and be careful not to catch a cold." Liang Mei said.

"No need." Duan Ye smiled, "It's not a child, so it's so easy to catch a cold."

"Listen to your mother." Duan Ruilin took a sip of the soup and couldn't help but babble.

His father Duan Ruilin greeted him tonight, Duan Ye was stunned on the spot, but he quickly said "Oh" and didn't react too much.

Just as Duan Ruilin put down the bowl in his hand, the landline in the living room suddenly rang.Usually during mealtimes, very few people in the Duan family would call to bother them, unless it was a special case.

What are special circumstances?For example, Duan Ye's grandfather had a car accident a few years ago, or it was something the Duan family has long been accustomed to - an emergency mission for the army.Now that Lao Duan has retired and is already in a semi-retirement state, who will bother them?Duan Ye looked at his parents, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly, then Liang Mei skillfully walked to the landline and picked up the receiver.

"Hello? Hello, that's right, here it is, okay, please wait a moment."

"Old Duan, from the bureau." Liang Mei frowned lightly, and put down the receiver.
