one punch

Jiang Ran's home is near the noodle shop, and it takes only three or four minutes to walk there. Because Jiang Ran's mother is a kindergarten teacher, his uncle and aunt "entrusted" Dou Tianxiao to Jiang Ran's care with confidence.

But it's not so much taking care of him as it is Dou Tianxiao fawning on him all by himself.

Because he found that as long as he walked with Jiang Ran, the classmates in the class would look at him in disbelief and even envy.

Jiang Ran is in the fourth grade, that is, the big kid in their eyes. First of all, he has an advantage in age. Second, Jiang Ran is a good student who often gives speeches under the red flag.

After Dou Tianxiao got involved with Jiang Ran, the group of people in the class didn't dare to bully him openly, at most they just chattered behind his back.

In those years, the term "dogs rely on power" was used to the fullest in Dou Tianxiao.

Jiang Ran's excellence subtly aroused Dou Tianxiao's almost immortal self-motivation, and he began to imitate everything about Jiang Ran 360 degrees without dead ends.

Get up at five o'clock in the morning to preview and review, recite the texts and ancient poems, use the break time to finish the homework assigned by the teacher first, and ask Jiang Ran for advice if you don't know it, but Jiang Ran wants to go to the interest class on weekends, he can only Watch silkworms to pass the time at home.

The silkworms changed from countless black dots to pure white cocoons, and the relationship between the two also quietly changed.

Dou Tianxiao was the first to notice this.

Because at the beginning, when he squatted at the school gate like waiting for a rabbit to say hello to Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran's expression was always cold and indifferent, as if the appearance of others hindered his breathing.

After squatting for more than a week, Dou Tianxiao was honored to get a "hmm" response.

I squatted for another two weeks, and in exchange for a non-salty "Why is it always you".

Finally, on a Monday morning, Dou Tianxiao was honored to receive a three-word response of "good morning" and a pack of expensive chocolate beans.

It feels like a small vegetable seedling sown in the field. After experiencing the baptism of wind and rain, and the tempering of time, it finally broke through the soil and sprouted.

Dou Tianxiao, a little shaggy-haired dog, got a reward and wagged his little tail more and more to please his master. He habitually stocked up all the delicious, delicious and fun things to honor Jiang Ran.

The two reciprocated, and their relationship became closer and closer.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. After doing homework with Jiang Ran, Dou Tianxiao's grades also improved by leaps and bounds like a rocket.

Dou Tianxiao likes to run to Jiang Ran's house when he has nothing to do after school.

Jiang Ran's father is a policeman and he often exercises, so there are sandbags, dumbbells and other fitness equipment that Dou Tianxiao has never seen before at home.

Sometimes Dou Tianxiao would stay at Jiang Ran's house to play with sandbags after asking for advice on homework.

Jiang Ran also taught him several sets of defensive and counterattack moves in Taekwondo.

In Taekwondo, Dou Tianxiao didn't know whether it was his talent or his secret efforts. It took him less than a month to learn several sets of movements well.

This little brat is not born cowardly, but because he is too young, he doesn't know how to resist when everyone around him is guarding or even attacking him, and he habitually closes himself, hides himself, and avoids fighting.

Until Jiang Ran's appearance completely changed him.

Jiang Ran is different from the group of people around him. Although they are all disgusted, Jiang Ran will tell him in a tone of sorrow and anger, "When you are bullied, you must resist, otherwise the group of people will I'll just keep bullying you."

Dou Tianxiao kept Jiang Ran's words in his heart all the time. Later, when he saw Jiang Ran's father, he realized that the words Jiang Ran taught him were also learned from his father.

Jiang's father said: "No matter what happens in front of you, you must face it positively. It doesn't matter if you fail, but you must never take the initiative to admit defeat or run away. That way you will always be a weak person."

Dou Tianxiao basically didn't understand, out of instinct and flattery, he nodded extremely vigorously.

Jiang Ran's father's real name is Wang Yingsong. Because they are twins, one of them entered the Jiang family. Jiang Ran has the same surname as his mother. Jiang Ran's eyebrows and eyes are the same as his father's. It is to inherit all the excellent genes from parents.

For this, Dou Tianxiao is very envious, but unfortunately he can't remember his father's appearance. Everyone says that he looks like his mother, looks gentle, soft and weak, but people outside don't know that his mother is private. The temper underneath is actually very violent.

He didn't want to be like his mother.

He likes Mr. Jiang, Jiang Ran, and Jiang's father. He thinks this kind of home is a normal and perfect home.

Of course, he also likes grandpa and the others very much, but in the final analysis, these are other people's homes, not his.

When eating at night, Jiang Ran bit the tip of his chopsticks and asked his father, "Xiaodouzi said he couldn't contact his father, can you help him?"

"What's his father's name? Is he from our town?" Wang Yingsong asked.

"It seems to be called Dou Guangmao, but I forgot to ask which Mao it was." Jiang Ran said.

"Dou Guangmao..." Wang Yingsong's eyes moved, and the gate of memory opened instantly.

In the small place of Xi Town, the neighbors are almost all people they know, and there have been few major cases in the past ten years, so the incident of Dou Guangmao was a sensation back then, and he was very impressed.

It was his elder brother Wang Yinglong who handled the case back then.

That night, a policeman on duty received a report from the villagers that her younger brother had been killed.

After receiving the alarm, the police rushed to the scene for inspection and found that the deceased was lying on the ground with his upper body naked, and there were many blunt force injuries on his body, indicating that the deceased had suffered violent injuries before his death.

The police extracted five different footprints at the scene, from the suspect, the caller and the deceased himself.

At that time, witnesses said that they saw a tall bald man and a fat man with a short cut enter the deceased's house, and it was not clear when they left, and whether anyone else entered.

After some investigations, the police quickly caught the suspect Li Sui, the fat man with a short cut. The fat man admitted on the spot that he had been to the scene, and also gave the names of the other two suspects. One was the fat man's distant cousin Li Yuetao. , the other bald head is Dou Tianxiao's father, Dou Guangmao.

At that time, there was an organization in the next town that specialized in lending, and it was notorious in the next town because of its extremely vicious means of forcing debts. However, the victims of the case generally would not call the police, and the police just turned a blind eye.

until the death incident.

According to the investigation, the deceased owed nearly [-] yuan in debt before his death. According to the prices at the time, it was at least the money of two commercial houses. Therefore, the police suspected that the suspects were most likely to threaten death to force him to pay back. money, and even wanted to kill him.

However, the confessions of several suspects were consistent, saying that they were trying to frighten the deceased and ask him to pay back the money, not to kill someone.

Later, the autopsy results of the forensic doctor determined that the deceased died of drug overdose poisoning, but the violent injury was also a fact. The public prosecutor accused the defendant of intentional homicide.

The well-known mouth lawyer of the defense strongly refuted and bit to death: the cause of death of the deceased was drug overdose.

"Then what happened later?" Jiang Ran's attention was completely attracted.

Wang Yingsong said: "According to Li Sui and his cousin's confession, Dou Guangmao was the only one who beat the deceased at that time, and the forensic doctor extracted Dou Guangmao's clothes fibers from the nails of the deceased, so Dou Guangmao was finally convicted of intentional injury. The crime of intentional homicide was not established. The judges in that session were more merciful."

Jiang Qing was also deeply impressed by this case. She still remembered that it was raining heavily in the evening when Dou Guangmao was arrested. After the police arrested him, she sent Dou Tianxiao home.

Wang Yingsong said: "I remember that the other two suspects were released in court at the time. Dou Guangmao was sentenced to more than five years for deliberately injuring and assaulting the police. In this case, the old nest of the loan shark organization was also stabbed."

"In that case, half of the sentence has passed." Jiang Ran said.

"Well," Wang Yingsong nodded, "If you behave well in prison, you may be able to reduce your sentence."

"This Dou Guangmao is really serious. He doesn't think about his family and children at all. He is a debt collector." Jiang Qing sighed in disappointment, "You said he has been in prison for the past few years, what else can he do when he comes out? The neighbors in this neighborhood know that he has been charged as a murderer, which boss would dare to use him."

"You are stupid, since he can come out so soon, he is obviously not a murderer." Wang Yingsong said.

Jiang Qing: "But the taint is the taint, and it will stay with him for the rest of his life. Others don't know the ins and outs of the whole thing. Once they hear that they have been in prison, it's too late to hide."

Wang Yingsong glanced at his son, and said: "Let's talk about these things at home. Since their family members haven't told him for so long, it means that they want to hide this matter to the end. This is someone else's family business. You and him Don't talk nonsense when you're together, you know?"

Jiang Ran silently nodded, thinking: If Dou Tianxiao knew that his heroic father was in jail, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Such a topic made the atmosphere at the dinner table heavy, Jiang Qing changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow is my son's birthday, can you ask for a leave of absence from the unit and invite some relatives and friends to have a meal at home .”

Wang Yingsong showed embarrassment, "I will be on duty the day after tomorrow, so I can't ask for leave."

Jiang Ran is used to such situations, he smiled faintly, "It's okay, let's forget it."

"I'm sorry, son. Dad is free to take you to the amusement park some other day!" Wang Yingsong patted his son's shoulder and comforted him.

Jiang Qing gave a dissatisfied "tsk", "You didn't listen to me when I told you not to go to the city, but now it's all right, you have to pick a date when you go home for a meal."

Wang Yingsong said confidently, "Isn't this all for you to live a better life? When can you raise money to buy a house with the little salary in the countryside? In the future, the child will work, so why not let him find a job in this corner. "

"What's wrong with the corner? I've spent half of my life in this corner. The child is still doing well. He knows how to run outside all day long. What's the use of making money? Do you know how many points your son scored in the final exam?" ? Do you know what training class your son has attended? Do you know what your son likes to eat? I worry about everything at home. If you make money, just leave everything to me, family Family, you need to be with you to be called family..."

Wang Yingsong is a careless man, and after chatting for a few words, he immediately turned on the beating mode, "The male lead outside and the female lead inside, if you feel tired, you can quit your job..."

As soon as Jiang Qing heard this, she immediately changed her usual gentle posture and raised her voice, "Why should I quit my job and not you? The money I earn can support you and Ran Ran. Tell me what age you are. What kind of feudal old thinking, pedantic man is the man who dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside! Why didn’t I open my eyes to find you in the first place.”

Mom complained all the time, dad refused to be outdone, and the atmosphere at the dinner table changed from solemn and emotional to tense. Jiang Ran silently finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said expressionlessly: " I'm stuffed."

The debate at the dinner table came to an abrupt end, and the parents said at the same time: "Is this enough?"

"En." Jiang Ran responded.

Dou Tianxiao never thought that he would receive invitations to other people's birthday parties in his lifetime, and it was Jiang Ran's birthday party!
