Chapter 23 Teaching
Autumn rain overnight, the weather is getting cooler.
Zhang Xiaobai came to the villa again. He didn’t see the hostess, but it was still the study room. Wei Wei stood up and stepped on the chair, holding a bottle of red wine and blowing on the bottle. Textbooks and books were scattered on the floor. There is a palm print.
Seeing that it was Zhang Xiaobai, Wei Wei grinned, "Here we come!"
A little girl, pretending to be strong and pretending not to care, in Zhang Xiaobai's eyes, this kind of smile is extremely desolate.
Zhang Xiaobai did not speak, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette and watched the girl get drunk.
Wei Wei shook the wine bottle, looked at Zhang Xiaobai with hazy eyes, and said: "I quarreled with that old witch this morning and scratched her face. My dad just came back and slapped me. Do you think he is my real dad?" ?”
After taking a sip of wine, Wei Wei continued: "Do you know why I hate tutoring? That old hag was my tutor back then, she didn't teach me well, but she subdued my father. It was a good family, but he ruined it !"
At the end, the girl raised her neck and drank the wine.
Zhang Xiaobai sighed and smoked silently. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the life of the rich may not be happy.
Wei Wei poured out the bitter water, seeing that Zhang Xiaobai still didn't respond, she frowned and said, "Zhang Xiaobai, drink with me!"
Zhang Xiaobai still didn't speak.
Wei Wei took out a thousand dollars from the drawer and said, "Accompany me for a drink, and I'll give you all the money!"
Zhang Xiaobai glanced at the ten hundred-yuan bills, then at the girl with disheveled hair, and said in silence for a moment, "Are there any white ones?"
Wei Wei grinned and ran out, and didn't have much time to come in with two bottles of wine, one bottle of Moutai and one bottle of red wine.
"It's a man! Men should drink liquor!"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled, took the liquor and unscrewed the cap, held the bottle and raised his neck, pouring it into his mouth like drinking water.
After drinking half a bottle, he wiped his mouth, licked his lips, stared at the girl with red eyes and asked, "Can I still drink it?"
In just a split second, Wei Wei stared at Zhang Xiaobai with wide-eyed horror, and suddenly woke up from the alcohol, and didn't respond at all to the question.
Zhang Xiaobai slapped the wine bottle on the table, smoked a cigarette, and said with a smile, "Your father beat you, do you feel wronged?"
The little girl who grew up so big has never been afraid of anyone, but felt that the man in front of her was extremely terrifying, so she could only nod instinctively.
Zhang Xiaobai sneered: "You can be content, if I were your father, I would hit you eight times a day!"
"To tell you the truth, I didn't take a fancy to that woman at all. I just wanted to make money as a tutor. Yesterday I thought that although you were a bit of a mess, you were still righteous and worthy of enlightenment, but today I saw that you just couldn't raise her." Familiar white-eyed wolf!"
"I only met that woman twice. The first time was when she went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy so many books for you. The second time was yesterday. At that time, I told her that you listened carefully to the class and learned very quickly. And know you've worked hard."
"I can clearly feel that her smile is from the heart, how happy I am to hear those words, and I can also feel that her eyes are full of love and doting when she looks at you. Am I he? An outsider can see Come to think of it, why are you pretending to be confused after being with her for so long?"
"Just because she seduced your dad? Don't put a high hat on your dad, okay? If he can control the things in his crotch, as for submitting? Who knows who will be the first to attack whom!"
Zhang Xiaobai said something, then snorted coldly.
Wei Wei suddenly chuckled, "Zhang Xiaobai, you rascal!"
Zhang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then thought of the inappropriate wording just now, she is a child after all.
"That's what it means. If you understand it, it's fine. I guess this is the last time we meet. If we meet, I'll tell you a few more words of truth. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
Zhang Xiaobai glanced at the big house, and said: "Living in such a big house, you can eat and drink without worrying about what you want. What are you not satisfied with? I really want to drag you to the small valley of my house and show you the real poor." life."
"I know that every family has difficult scriptures to recite, and it's not easy for anyone, but you can't speak and do things against your conscience, right? You can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil in human nature? It's fine to have a small temper, after all, you are a spoiled child , but it’s really over!”
"In our case, you are not young at this age. In two years, you will have to find your in-laws' family to have a baby. How can you have time to study? You have to work in the fields from morning to night and have to cook for men and breastfeed your children."
"So, you have to be grateful to God, you are still happy!"
Wei Wei's fear was gone long ago, he looked at Zhang Xiaobai with great interest, and said, "I never thought you, a country bumpkin, could tell so much truth?"
Zhang Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "I knew you knew everything, you just pretended not to understand, your waywardness was just pretending to show your father, in fact, you want him to care more about you, pay more attention to you... love you more!"
The stubborn little girl burst into tears when she heard this sentence, and the words touched the softest part of her heart.
Zhang Xiaobai panicked, not knowing why she was crying, whether she was frightened or moved, and stared blankly, at a loss.
After a long time, Wei Wei wiped away her tears, pointed to the half bottle of white wine on the table and said, "You made me cry, I drank all that wine!"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Nonsense, you would be a fool if you don't drink it, that's Moutai!"
Then Zhang Xiaobai directly blew half of the bottle.
Fortunately, this is a low-grade Moutai, and it can survive after drinking it.
Zhang Xiaobai finished drinking, and said calmly: "Wei Wei, acquaintance is also a kind of fate. Before I leave, I would like to advise you, so that you can do it yourself!"
When Zhang Xiaobai crossed the threshold, Wei Wei suddenly stopped him, "Zhang Xiaobai, did you really start smoking at the age of ten? Did your grandma teach you?"
Zhang Xiaobai turned around slowly, and took out a yellowed black-and-white photo from his pocket. There was an old man and a young man in the picture.
The benevolent old man was sitting on the saddle with a cane and a cigarette bag in his mouth. Behind him was a boy in his teens with a cigarette in his mouth and his arms around the old man's shoulders.
Both of them were laughing from ear to ear!
Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "I don't have a father, my mother gave birth to me and died of dystocia, my grandfather fell to his death trying to collect medicine for me, my grandmother died of illness a few days ago, people in our village call me Sangmenxing."
Zhang Xiaobai grinned: "But I think I am very happy, because they all love me, my mother, my grandpa, and my grandma all love me. Even though I am poor, I still feel very rich. I have their love."
Zhang Xiaobai's eyes fell on the photo, tears blurred his eyes.
Wei Wei sighed, took out 1,000 yuan and handed it over, "It's agreed, drink with me, and I'll give you the money!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Money is a good thing, and I need it too, but I can't ask for it. If I ask for it, my dignity will be lost and my spine will be bent."
"Grandma once said to me that a man can have nothing but his spine cannot be bent!"
After speaking, Zhang Xiaobai walked out the door.
When we got downstairs, the girl upstairs yelled, "Zhang Xiaobai, why are you going? You haven't taught me yet today!"
Seeing the girl's innocent smile, Zhang Xiaobai ran up to her.
