In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhang Youling looked at her lover rummaging around the room and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"I want to find a gift. I can't go to the Zhou family empty-handed, right?"
Li Shipeng took out his favorite toy, the Transformers, and said, "Dad, take this! Zhou Niao will definitely like it. If Zhou Niao likes it, Zhou Xiang will accept it. If you bring anything else, Zhou Xiang will definitely not want it."
Principal Li was surprised. "You don't regret it?"
Li Shipeng suppressed his heartache and said, "I don't regret it."
"Okay! Principal Zhang, let's take this with us!"
Zhang Youling nodded, "Let's go! It would be better if we could clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible."
After packing the toys, the two walked towards Zhou's house.
On the way, Zhang Youling said, "Old Li, are you really going to send this Transformer? Aren't you afraid your son will regret it?"
"Don't worry, it's no use even if he regrets it. Would he have the nerve to ask for it back?"
"But he will make trouble for his cousin!"
"At least, before he gets the next one, he will keep thinking about the stupid thing he did because of this toy."
"I'll tell my cousin to ask his classmates to bring one back from Japan."
"Don't tell him. Tell Little Stone to go find his cousin himself. We can't always be the ones asking for favors. It's time for him to experience the warmth and coldness of human nature firsthand."
Zhang Youling remained silent. Although she felt sorry for her son, she thought that what Old Li said was right. This incident should leave a deep impression on her son, and he should not recklessly use his sense of justice next time.
Lying on the cool bed in the yard, basking in the sunset, Zhou Xiang closed his eyes in deep thought, exuding an aloof aura.
It was clearly her own yard, and there were clearly other people in the yard, but the place where she was seemed to be a world that belonged to her alone, and no one else could enter. She was all alone and lonely.
Ling Ran, who was pushing the car and standing at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the little girl who was lost in her own world with sad eyes.
It turns out that when she didn't know, when she couldn't see, she was so lonely in the world, locking her heart and everything about her.
I thought I was close to her, but I didn't even touch her self-protection membrane.
Zhou Yu, who had been hiding in the house, looked at her sister in fear. She was very afraid of her sister at this moment, and she was even more afraid that when her sister opened her eyes, the light emitted from her eyes would penetrate her soul as if the world had changed, making her feel that life was full of desolation.
Principal Li and Zhang Youling were stopped by Ling Ran. Ling Ran wanted to take them away, but was stopped by Zhou Xiang.
"Principal Li and Principal Zhang are here!" Zhou Xiang smiled, and the bubble of coldness and loneliness surrounding him suddenly burst. Facing the setting sun, his brilliant smile was like a blooming peach blossom, sunny and bright.
Neither Principal Li nor Zhang Youling would think that they were seeing things. This child might be carrying more than they imagined.
Ling Ran put on a smile, pushed the cart and followed Principal Li and Principal Zhang into the yard.
Zhou Xiang asked his second sister to make tea and sat with her in the main room.
Zhang Youling spoke first, after all, she was the one who sent her son here.
"Zhou Xiang! Li Shipeng has been spoiled by us. He is ignorant and has caused you trouble. We are here to..."
Zhou wanted to stop her quickly. He didn't suffer much injustice, and both of them were respected people. He couldn't let her say the words of apology.
"It's okay. Without him, there will be others. People who want to take advantage of others will not give up even the slightest opportunity. Don't worry about it."
Principal Li and Zhang Youling admired her magnanimity and insight in their hearts, and Principal Li handed over the newspaper package in his hand.
"Here is a toy, a gift from Li Shipeng to Zhou Niao. Please accept it for Zhou Niao!"
Zhou Xiang felt that Li Shipeng was not so stupid as to know how to take a roundabout route through his elder brother.
"Okay, then I'll accept it on behalf of Big Brother. Please thank Li Shipeng for me."
"Well, okay." Principal Li nodded and continued, "By the way, that Ma Shasha was reported to the entire county and persuaded to withdraw. I heard her mother transferred her to Shanghai City, where her grandfather still has some influence. Director Liu's personality is too rigid. The way he handled this matter has created an enemy for both you and him!"
Zhou Xiang didn't care. Whether Director Liu did it to relieve his inferiority complex or to vent his anger, there was nothing wrong with this approach. Since Ma Shasha dared to drug him, she had to accept the result of failure.
If you handle it with caution, you will destroy the faith and ideals of dozens of students.
If he had concealed it at the time, it could have been handled privately, but he knew that at least half of Director Liu's selfish motive at the time was to protect himself, so no matter what the consequences of this matter would be in the future, he was willing to bear it.
"It's okay, Principal Li, don't worry. As the saying goes, good prevails over evil. If I could be defeated by such an enemy, it means I'm not strong enough."
Hearing this, Principal Li said no more. He knew that Zhou Xiang's words were not arrogant, but confident.
After drinking a cup of tea, he left Zhou's house with his lover.
However, Ling Ran, who had been acting invisible, remembered the name Ma Shasha. It seemed that the little girl's journey to the city competition was not smooth sailing!
Zhou Xiang opened the newspaper package and saw the Transformers inside. He felt that the gift was a bit heavy. It was only 1985 and there were no Transformers in China yet.
Ling Ran was also surprised when he saw the Transformers. He didn't expect Li Shipeng to be willing to take this out. He had heard him show off it several times, but he never brought it out to show him.
He reached out and picked up the Transformer, played with it for a few times, and said, "I heard that this was Li Shipeng's cousin, who asked a classmate to bring it back from Japan. Li Shipeng gave one to each of his cousins, and he himself was reluctant to play with it. I didn't expect him to be willing to give it to apologize. I guess that guy knew he was being used as a pawn."
It seems that I can find an ally. The Yang family, they still haven't learned enough lessons. They still dare to come and make trouble, even making the little girl feel uncomfortable. I will let the Yang family know what it means to steal a chicken and lose the rice.
Well, we have to drag Yang Yang into this too. Isn't Yang Cheng from the Yang family on vacation and writing a self-criticism at home? Why not just take a vacation forever? He's just a temporary worker.
I believe that Yang Yang's parents would be dissatisfied if they knew the whole story of today's incident. No one would like their child to be exploited by someone, especially a person of the opposite sex.
I thought and did it. I have to go to school tomorrow. I still have time now, so I can go to Yang Yang's house and play. His parents should be off work.
He put down the Transformers in his hand, said goodbye to Zhou Xiang and left.
Zhou Xiang looked at the Transformers on the table, thinking that he would have to find a way to return the gift in the future. This gift was too expensive at the moment, and it would be a bit uncomfortable to accept it directly.
When Yang Ji came to Zhou's courtyard in the afternoon, he didn't hear any sound of studying.
