Think childish

The red glowing golden light spread all over the classroom, and the weather was scorchingly scorchingly hot before they fell into ambush. There were twenty or thirty students sitting sparsely in the classroom, with golden light on their heads and sweaty noses.

The male teacher who taught Chinese on the podium was a little old and couldn't bear the bitter summer. Every three sentences he had to stop and rest for a few sentences before drinking saliva.The students were very restless, staring at the blackboard and silently counting down the countdown in their hearts--today is Friday, and the weekend is due after this class.

"Hey, Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi—"

The ponytail swept slightly to the right, the girl squinted her eyes, and glanced impatiently to the left: "If you have something to say, if you fart, then let it go."

Xie Xiaoqing didn't feel annoyed after being choked by this. Instead, he smiled and leaned closer to the girl, and said in a low voice: "It's such a hot day, the cicadas on the tree should be cooked, let's wait a while." Go pick up cicadas after school!"

Xie Xiaoqing was born like a skinny monkey, eating fat all the time without gaining any flesh, he was not as tall as Qiao Zhi, and when he got closer, it seemed that there was only a piece of human skin sticking to the bones, so thin and bony, it looked like the scar on his neck His head was so huge that every time Qiao Zhi saw him, he was worried that his thin neck would be crushed one day, and his head would fall and hit her foot.

"You starved to death and reincarnated!" Qiao Zhi cursed in a low voice, then turned her face away and ignored him.

Xie Xiaoqing pursed his mouth aggrievedly, leaned back on the table again, and joined the team with staring eyes.

At that time, although handicrafts such as clocks and watches were not rare, the school did not have enough money to equip each classroom with one, so students judged the get out of class time mainly by experience accumulation.

The sound of breathing in the classroom that was stagnant suddenly became slightly rapid. Xie Xiaoqing's shriveled face turned red and black, whether it was sunburned or suffocated.

at last!

The bell rings on the playground, get out of class is over!on vacation!

The elderly Chinese teacher knocked on the podium several times with a wooden stick, trying to maintain order in the classroom, but with little success, so he simply finished his homework with a few strokes and ran away with his textbooks between his legs.

It's really hot today!

Qiao Zhi finished copying the last homework on the blackboard, put away the pink tin pen box on the table and stuffed it into her schoolbag, wiped the sweat on her neck with her right hand, and then shook it vigorously, as if it would be able to get rid of it like this It's all wet and sticky.

"Azhi, are you leaving?" Xia Huanhuan walked from the front row of the classroom with her schoolbag on her back, her white and tender face was flushed by the heat, and a drop of sweat dripped from the corner of her forehead following the words.

"Let's go, buy popsicles and eat them!" Qiao Zhi waved his hand and put his bag on his back.

There is a popsicle seller outside the iron gate of Chengbei Middle School.The words "popsicle and ice cream" were written squarely in red paint on the white wooden box, and a big boxy quilt was placed on top of the box.

The old lady who sells popsicles is wearing a white hat, white sleeves, and a white apron around her waist. She is smiling and yelling: "Sell popsicles! Butter bean popsicles!"

The weather is hot, and there are many people waiting to buy popsicles. Qiao Zhi entered the queue and turned to look at the two standing people next to him: "Aren't you two going to buy?"

"I've used up all my pocket money." Xia Huanhuan said with a sigh.

"Me too." Xie Xiaoqing said, his eyes followed a girl next to him licking a cream popsicle.

Mung bean popsicles cost three cents each, and those mixed with cream cost five cents; large ice creams have the most cream and cost ten cents each; the more expensive ones are ice creams wrapped in a layer of chocolate, which cost fifteen cents; the most expensive is The price of a pair of Arctic Ocean ice bricks is twenty-five cents!

Qiao Zhi hesitated for a long time, and finally bought a big ice cream. When Xie Xiaoqing heard her say "big ice cream", his eyes immediately moved back.

Qiao Zhi took the ice cream after paying the money, tore off the outer layer of red oil paper and handed it to Xia Huanhuan to take a bite, and then licked it by herself contentedly.

The three of them walked towards home side by side. Xie Xiaoqing saw that the ice cream was about to be licked up by Qiao Zhi, and finally said with a hot face: "Ah Zhi, you are quite rich recently? Have you changed to ice cream?"

Qiao Zhi and Xia Huanhuan looked at each other, and they looked at each other with a tacit smile, Qiao Zhi wiped her mouth, and handed the remaining two bites of ice cream to Xie Xiaoqing: "Here, eat!"

Xie Xiaoqing was used to eating the leftovers of the two of them, and the children were not so particular about each other, so he took one bite on the left, one bite on the right, and then gnawed it clean, even licking the wooden stick twice to make sure it was okay. Throw it away when it smells like milk.

Although Xie Xiaoqing is a boy, he doesn't like to play with boys, mainly because the boys in the class don't like to see him and don't like to take him to play.

The parents of the three people all work in the No. [-] Machine Tool Factory. Xia Huanhuan and Qiao Zhi lived in the same factory dormitory, and Xie Xiaoqing and his family lived in the next building. The three grew up together. Xie Xiaoqing was very clingy to them, especially Qiao Zhi. Childish, the three of them always go together.

Xie Xiaoqing pulled down the strap of the schoolbag, pulled the schoolbag high up and piled it behind his head, kicked his feet and asked, "Azhi, why are you so rich these days? I saw you buying toffee the other day, yes?" ... the money that man gave you?"

Although Xie Xiaoqing is thin, he has a bigger appetite than anyone else. He always looks like he is not full. He is always hungry, and he can only see food in his eyes.

Qiao Zhi let out a drowsy "Mmm", feeling annoyed at the thought of "that man" that Xie Xiaoqing said.

Xia Huanhuan turned her head and asked softly, "Are your parents really leaving?"

"Ah."

How big was divorce in those days?It was so big that even a heartless person like Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help but gasp when he heard it, and didn't dare to say anything for a while.

In the entire factory compound and several buildings, is there anyone who has ever been divorced?No, only his Qiao family has one.

When Qiao Zhi's mother led the man to the house that day, the man was carrying a lot of things in his left and right hands. They were colorful and looked like high-end goods.Xie Xiaoqing followed her mother up the railing and took a look at the excitement. He heard a few old ladies beside him chewing their tongues before realizing that the man carrying things was Qiao Zhi's future stepdad.

Qiao Zhi's stepfather was very rich at first glance. Xie Xiaoqing, who had died of his father since childhood, looked very hot. He wished he could persuade his mother to find a rich man and come back to be his father. It's a pity that this matter is lacking in hardware. One ring - his mother is far less smart and beautiful than Qiao Zhi's mother.

Qiao Zhi's mother, Guo Yuan, is a well-recognized factory girl in the compound. Not only is she professional and skilled at work, but she also walks in front of all the yellow-faced women in life, and she is an absolute representative of fashion trendsetters.

Her dress is different from other women, her hair is always curled, her face is always covered in makeup, her body is always fragrant, even the way she walks, the tone of her voice, and the way she laughs They are all different from ordinary people, inside and out, there is a sense of nobility that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

In the eyes of Xie Xiaoqing's mother, this kind of awkwardness turned into a gentle sentence "Miss's body is the life of a maid". As for those who are not gentle, they have their own ugly words.

Xie Xiaoqing really doesn't understand, with such a beautiful and fairy-like daughter-in-law at home, is Qiao Zhi's father full of food?Actually went outside to hunt wild food?

But he didn't dare to tell Qiao Zhi in front of Qiao Zhi. Qiao Zhi's beating was painful, and he couldn't stand it.

Because of Xia Huanhuan's question, Qiao Zhi inevitably thought of her mother and the man standing next to her mother - grandma said that the man was her mother's first love.

Naturally, it was impossible for grandma to tell her these things. Qiao Zhi overheard them through the crack of the door.

The man came to the door three times in a row, and Qiao Zhi listened to a bunch of old sesame seeds and rotten millet intermittently, and finally understood something.

As the saying goes, "What is in the world, what is in the theater", their family had been making a fuss for a long time, and it turned out that the song was about "The Queen Mother of the West beats the mandarin duck star with a stick, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl reunite after a broken mirror".

As for Qiao Zhi's father, Qiao Dalou, as a crucial turning point in the play, he perfectly interpreted the image of a libertine who hangs around the flowers all day, doesn't care about his wife and daughter, doesn't give birth, and only knows to drink and gamble. He even generously handed over his wife and daughter, and willingly became the last glue of "reunion after a broken mirror".

When Qiao loudly moved out of the house, she said to her in a relaxed tone: "Your father and I are incompetent, and owed a lot of debts, which were all paid by your stepfather. As for your mother, she didn't think much of me in the first place. It’s fine to take two episodes once, and you can live with your stepfather from now on.”

Qiao Loudou had always wanted a son, but Guo Yuan refused to have another son after giving birth to Qiao Zhi, and even insisted on living in a separate room with him. Qiao Zhi knew about this.But her father just said lightly, "From now on, you will live with your stepfather", which still made her feel chilled, terrified, and even deeply afraid.

But Qiao Zhi never mentioned this to anyone.

It's useless to make a fuss, this skill is unique to Guo Qingshan, not only can't she use it, but sometimes she will get a scolding.After thinking this through, Qiao Zhi became much calmer when "Cowherd's First Love" came to the door again, and kept everything she gave her, without feeling embarrassed at all.

The three of them had just walked out of the school gate, when Qiao Zhi suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. The voice was quite familiar, and she turned around to see that it was Zhang Xiaofeng from the next class.

"What's the matter with you?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.

Zhang Xiaofeng is most annoyed by Xie Xiaoqing, the kind of naughty boy who only knows to hang around girls all day long. His father calls this kind of person "Erweizi", and they are the kind of people that the Zhang family despises the most. .

Zhang Xiaofeng unceremoniously pushed Xie Xiaoqing to the side, and the force was a little too strong, Xie Xiaoqing staggered back two steps top-heavy, and then sat down on the ground.

Zhang Xiaofeng groaned coldly, and didn't even bother to answer him. He stood in front of Qiao Zhi and said with a shy smile, "Qiao Zhi, what happened to what I told you earlier? Did Brother Hai get a reply?"

Two weeks ago, Zhang Xiaofeng took his little girlfriend to play in the south of the city, and wore a pair of "Bai Huili". In the end, some gangsters from Chengnan No. He asked him for money every three days, and beat people if he didn't have money.

Zhang Xiaofeng couldn't find teachers and parents about this matter. He was afraid that the matter of his "girlfriend" would be revealed, so he found it on Qiao Zhi's head after much deliberation. Zhang Xiaofeng asked her to help find a "person on the road" to solve it privately.

This person on the Tao is talking about Luo Hai.

The hero Xie Xiaoqing didn't suffer from immediate losses, he got up earlier, patted the ashes on his buttocks, glared at Zhang Xiaofeng with red eyes, his teeth were about to be gritted, but he just didn't dare to "pretend".

Qiao Zhi looked at Xie Xiaoqing and then at Zhang Xiaofeng, the sun made her feel uneasy, and the evil fire was about to burst out of her heart.

"Why are you pushing him?" Qiao Zhi looked at Zhang Xiaofeng coldly.

Zhang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment: "I didn't push him, it's because he didn't stand firmly!"

Qiao Zhi stopped talking, turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Xiaofeng cursed in his heart, but on the surface he held her flatteringly, and immediately turned his face to apologize to the "second tail" Xie Xiaoqing who he looked down upon: "Xie Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, I don't care , it’s up to you, are you okay?”

With Qiao Zhi backing him up, Xie Xiaoqing immediately straightened his back by two points.He also let out a cold snort through his nostrils like a gourd painting, with the air of an adult not remembering a villain's mistakes.

Zhang Xiaofeng had to hold back because he wanted something from others.

Qiao Zhi looked at him: "You just come to me empty-handed to do something for you?"

Xia Huanhuan and Xie Xiaoqing were holding back their laughter, and Zhang Xiaofeng's expression was extremely ugly.

Qiao Zhi's eyebrows were full of impatience, Zhang Xiaofeng thought about it, and turned back to the school gate as if a strong man broke his wrist. After a while, he hurried over, holding three cream popsicles in his hand.

Xie Xiaoqing's eyes were straightened.

"Qiao Zhi, my sister Zhi, just help me this time! Will you?" Zhang Xiaofeng was about to cry.

Qiao Zhi reached out to pick up the popsicles and distributed them to Xie Xiaoqing and Xia Huanhuan. While eating, she asked slowly, "Where did you say you were from last time?"

Zhang Xiaofeng knew there was something going on when he heard it!He hurriedly said: "For those rotten dragons in Chengnan No. [-] Middle School, the leader is a boy named 'Jiao Da'."

"Okay, I'll tell Luo Hai about this tomorrow." Qiao Zhi turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaofeng again.

"Then...the other thing..." Zhang Xiaofeng hesitated.

Qiao Zhi waved his hand: "If you want Luo Hai to accept you as a younger brother, don't even think about it. Just like you, can you hold a knife or a gun?"

Zhang Xiaofeng was obviously intimidated by the word "sword and gun" in her words. He never thought that the entry standard for street gangsters is so high, and he was stunned for a while when he came up with swords and guns.

Qiao Zhi finished bluffing, and without waiting for anyone's reaction, she pulled the two people beside her and quickly retreated.

The three of them returned to the courtyard with a lot of chatter, it was already late, but the sky was still bright, and a pile of fire in the west was burning like a raging fire, almost burning up the sky.

The golden sun is hidden behind the clouds, and its power remains undiminished.

Qiao Zhi's neighbor, Uncle Li, was playing with a chessboard in the yard. When he saw her from afar, he beckoned her over.

The two year-end friends happily sat down and played a game. Before leaving, Uncle Li drooped his head, shook his cattail fan, rolled his slack eyelids lazily upstairs, and sent a small report to Qiao Zhi:

"There's someone coming to your house again."

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Qiao Zhi lived on the second floor, and Xia Huanhuan was on the fourth floor. When the two separated, Xia Huanhuan asked, "When are you going to see Brother Hai tomorrow? I want to go with you and see the 'good stuff' that Brother Hai brought back for you." .”

Qiao Zhi thought for a while, but she still didn't know what was going on at home. It was hard to say whether she could go out tomorrow, so she said, "You can wait for me at home tomorrow. If I want to go there, I'll go upstairs to find you."

Xia Huanhuan responded with one mouthful: "Success!"

The two then separated upstairs and downstairs, each went back to its own house, and each looked for its own mother.

When Qiao Zhi inserted the key into the keyhole, she was so cautious that she didn't realize it. She gently unlocked the door, and slipped into the room deftly along the thin crack.

Across a wall, came the voice of a man she was already very familiar with from the back room. Qiao Zhi pricked up her ears intently, but the voice in the room stopped, and no one spoke for a while.

She waited for a while, and seeing that she couldn't hear anything, she planned to end the indecent behavior of "listening to the bottom of the wall".As a result, just as he took a step out of his mind, there was another sound in the room——

It was the voice of her own mother, Guo Yuan.

Guo Yuan has been precious all her life, and she is gentle and gentle when she talks to anyone, but the gentleness is not very popular, and the coldness reveals a sense of alienation. Even with her own daughter, her intimacy is like passing through. The calculation and weighing are just right.

If Qiao Zhi tried to ask for more, she would stop her tenderness in time and retreat calmly.Over time, Qiao Zhi got used to it.

She was the first to know the idiom "respect each other as guests", and felt that this word was tailor-made for her and her mother.

Qiao Zhi was distracted for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she heard her mother getting angry.

Guo Yuan said angrily: "At the beginning, you could sell me to Qiao Dalou just for Guo Yuanjiang's household registration and a decent job. Why, now that a house and 1 yuan are in front of you, you still think it's too little, right? ?"

Qiao Zhi was startled when she heard it, and then she heard her grandmother muttering something weakly, but she didn't hear clearly.

The room became quiet again, and the depressive and tense atmosphere gradually spread. Qiao Zhi's heart was pounding, and she held the key tightly against her chest. After a while, she heard her mother's exhausted voice coming slowly——

"Anyway, I'm your daughter, and Qiao Zhi also calls you grandma, so can't you take her in temporarily?"

A male voice followed closely, with a smile in his tone that wanted to calm things down: "Mom, if you feel that the money is not enough, I'll give you some more. We really can't take Qiao Zhi away, so I'll trouble you, okay?" ?”

Qiao Zhi: "..."

I'm your uncle's second kicker!

The author has something to say: This is a rather slow story, suitable for enjoying in a drowsy state, because I also wrote it in a drowsy state.
