The Lin siblings always loved reading. Sometimes Song Chen would get bored and go play with other children. But when he found out that those other children were even more boring, he would go back to the neighboring siblings.
Under the influence of his brothers and sisters, his grades were naturally not bad. He ranked second in the class, just below Lin Lu, who ranked first.
After getting such a sweet taste, Song Chen became much more serious when Lin Lu asked him to read and do homework.
Because of vanity.
When he got home, his mother would praise him and secretly give him an egg.
On the other hand, his older brother, who does nothing but study, has taken exams for several years but still failed to get into high school and is even thinking about repeating the year.
Song Chen was so proud holding the certificate written by the teacher for them. He walked from school to home and then wandered around the village to let everyone in the village know that he had won the certificate.
——
After Lin Cheng entered junior high school, he could no longer go to and from school with Song Chen and Lin Lu.
He had good grades and went to middle school in the county.
I brought a lot of books to Song Chen and Lin Lu, describing to them a world that was a little bigger than the town.
The teacher said that if you study hard, you can get into college, find a good job, and live a good life.
He asked his two younger brothers and sisters what they wanted to do in the future.
Lin Lu said that he wanted to go to school at Tiananmen Square as described in the book, make a lot of money, and become a person who contributes to the country and society.
Song Chen said that his biggest wish was to never be separated from Brother Lin Cheng and Lin Lulu, and he would go wherever they went.
The barren little world was filled with the future depicted by the brother and sister.
Lin Lu is a bit arrogant and sharp-tongued. Although he is good-looking, kids of his age don't really care about that.
After she called them stupid, none of her classmates liked to play with her anymore.
Although she didn't like playing with anyone other than Song Chen, it would be hard to get along if they didn't say a word to each other.
The classmates are all from several nearby villages, and 7/8 of them are from their own village.
Lin Lu has never liked going out to play with them since she was a child. Except for talking to Song Chen, she ignores everyone else.
One day, when she was teaching Song Chen a math problem, she explained it several times, but Song Chen still didn't understand. She got angry and blurted out, "You're so stupid."
Song Chen was also angry, wondering why she couldn't guide him as carefully as Brother Lin Cheng, and why she always scolded him.
I dropped my pen, stopped studying, and went out of the classroom to play hopping tag with the boys.
The boys outside saw him come out and laughed and said, "Hey, Song Laosi, you got scolded again. Are you still a man? Why did you still play with her after being scolded so many times? Lin Lu is so arrogant because she has good grades and the teacher likes her. Don't play with her anymore. Leave her alone."
Although Song Chen didn't like Lin Lulu saying that he was stupid, he also didn't like others saying that she had a bad temper.
"What's it to you? You have a foul mouth."
He turned his head and went to the toilet.
When he came back and felt thirsty, he said to Lin Lu in a stiff tone, "Lend me your cup."
Everyone drank water by wrapping their mouths around the tap water pipe. Lin Lu thought it was dirty, so she pestered Li Xianglian to buy her a small ceramic water cup. She never lent it to anyone else except Song Chen because that person was really good at acting like a spoiled child.
"Wash it twice more after use!" Lin Lu reminded him.
Seeing that she was not angry with him and was willing to lend him the cup, Song Chen felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
He assured her with a smile: "Wash you ten times."
Next to the water pipe, the boys were tired from playing and lined up one by one to drink water.
After the previous person finishes drinking, they can't wait to take over, and when they leave, you can see the saliva.
Song Chen was infected by the Lin Lu siblings' hypocritical habits, which made him feel sick.
I washed the water spout several times before using a cup to drink the water.
Others saw that he was using Lin Lu's cup again and said, "Song Lao Si, you're a grown man, why are you drinking like a little girl?"
Due to the conditions, girls who don’t have cups will drink water with their hands, but boys are like dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water. Those who are different from them are all labeled as girls.
Song Chen raised his head and drank water: "I'm afraid your bad breath will infect me."
After drinking the water, he carefully washed the cup for Lin Lu.
The boy next to him had an ugly look on his face and signaled to others with his eyes. Everyone surrounded Song Chen and got closer and closer.
Song Chen was not afraid. Not to mention that he was taller than these people, even the experience he gained from fighting with his elder brother at home was enough to deal with these people.
"You can't tell the teacher if you lose the fight."
"Forget it, he has three brothers, let's not cause trouble."
"Yeah, his second brother beat up my brother last time. He was pretty good at it."
The leading boy glared at Song Chen and said, "Please take a detour when you see us next time."
Everyone can make harsh remarks.
Song Chen: "I can take a detour, but you must not leave after school."
Several children: "Let's go, let's go, don't mess with him."
——
He returned the cup to Lin Lu and said in a reconciliation manner: "Wash it ten times."
Lin Lu was explaining a problem to Qiao'er, a sixth-grade student. Qiao'er was the only one besides Song Chen who liked Lin Lu. Seeing that Lin Lu was about to get angry again, he called her stupid.
Song Chen was worried that Lin Lu would scold her only female playmate and drive her away, so he stopped her in time: "Let me teach you, Qiao'er. Lin Lulu just taught me, so this is a good opportunity to check if I have learned it."
Lin Lu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Well. Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Song Chen felt a lot of pressure, not knowing whether to say it or not. He was worried that if he said something wrong, Lin Lu would scold him in front of Sister Qiao'er.
Doesn't he have any face?
But luckily, he got through it without any danger. He also added, "Sister Qiao'er, you should ask me questions next time. I know all the answers, but you can ask Lin Lulu to play games with you."
Sister Qiaoer: "Okay."
Lin Lu glanced at the two of them, said nothing, turned around and continued doing his homework.
After school, Sister Qiaoer went home with them. Lin Lu listened to her childish words and did not respond for a long time. It was basically Song Chen who talked to her.
Because they were from different villages, Sister Qiaoer said goodbye to them at the intersection.
Song Chen lectured Lin Lu sternly, "Lin Lulu, can you please not be so sharp-tongued in the future? You don't have any friends now. That's not good."
Lin Lu: "Aren't you my friend?" He kicked the weeds on the roadside.
Song Chen was happy to hear his words, but said, "You are a girl, and you need girls to be your friends. Other girls go to the toilet together, but we can't go to the toilet together."
Lin Lu was puzzled: "Why should I go to the toilet with others?"
