Reckless Youth of Delinquency

This emotion lasted all the way to Dongguan Town, and I got out of the car without even saying goodbye to my beautiful sister. Stepping on this familiar land again, I no longer had the same state of mind as when I was expelled for the first time. I had no intention of grieving the spring and autumn anymore. I just wanted to go home early and rest. I felt that my body was really going to need it at any time. Crossed. On the road, I accidentally ran into a few junior high school classmates who had bullied me before. Almost as a reflex, I immediately pulled out the steel pipe from my bag and looked at them with a sinister look. But in fact, I know that my body cannot get up if someone pushes it casually.

Unexpectedly, they immediately shrank to the side of the road, not even daring to look at me, let alone come to bully me again. Holding the steel pipe in my hand, I continued to stagger toward home. When I came to the door of my house, a peach tree was in bloom. I sat on the stone under the tree, breathed heavily for a while, hid the steel pipe among the branches of the tree, and then took my bag and walked into the house. . My mother was heating a pot of boiling water on the stove. She was startled when she saw me coming in: "Haohao, why are you back?" I put my bag on the ground and whispered: "I'm fired." No. Dare to look at my mother's expression, I walked straight to my bedroom, spread out the quilt and lay down to sleep. I haven’t had a good sleep for seven days and seven nights in a row. Coupled with the injuries I suffered in a fight some time ago, my body is like a machine that can fall apart at any time. I don’t know what kind of perseverance I have relied on to survive today. .

I could vaguely hear my mother packing the things in my bag, I could vaguely hear the teapot on the stove humming softly, and I could vaguely hear the wind blowing by the window... I was finally home, and I could finally have a good rest... I put My whole body was shrunk into the quilt, covered tightly from head to toe, as if this could bring me a sense of security. I should be so exhausted now that I can fall asleep just by the pillow, but I can't fall asleep lying on the bed. My mind is still flashing back to the scene of the heavy snow that night. After the gunshot, the world was full of chaos. There was silence, and a figure slowly fell in front of me...

This scene kept repeating and flashing back in my mind, and I couldn't control it at all. I huddled under the quilt, hoping to fall asleep as soon as possible, but I was always half asleep and half awake, and my whole person was in a state of chaos. I don’t know how long it took, but my mother called me by the bedside: "Haohao, get up and eat. Eat and then go to sleep." I said in a daze under the quilt: "I won’t eat." Then I continued to huddle in my little bed. in the world. Unknowingly, it seemed that I was back to that snowy night again. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, but I was the only one running in the snow. It seemed that I wanted to catch something but couldn't.

Finally, I gave up, stopped, and squatted in the snow. It seemed that I was the only one left in the whole world, and the snowflakes in the sky almost covered my body. It's so cold, I'm shivering. Of course it will be cold in the snow, I thought. I should go home so that it won't be cold anymore. But I remember, wasn’t I already at home? Why is it still so cold?

I fell on the snow, my body was cold from the inside out, and my teeth were chattering. Someone seemed to be approaching, and he suddenly waved away a heavy piece of snow above his head. A warm hand was close to my forehead, and then my mother's panicked voice rang out: "It's so hot, you have a fever!" Only then did I realize that I I have a fever, no wonder I feel so cold all over. My mother quickly found antipyretic medicine and asked me to take it with warm water. Then she asked me to lie down again and put a wet towel on my forehead.

My body was still trembling, and I was feeling cold from the inside out. After a while, my mother went to soak the towel, then came back and put it on my forehead. Before I knew it, I fell asleep again, and my mother seemed to have been working beside me all night. At dawn, I still felt cold, and my whole body was shaking, as if I was having an epileptic fit. The mother was frightened and went out to find a doctor. The doctor is from a nearby clinic, and residents around here go to him if they have a minor illness. When he saw me like this, he first took my temperature and said, "It's almost thirty-nine degrees." Then he gave me an injection, said he would check the situation, packed up his things and left.

After a long time, my body still hasn't improved at all, and there seems to be signs of worsening. The mother panicked and called the doctor again. The doctor took my temperature again and said with a slight panic: "It's almost 40 degrees. Send me to a big hospital quickly." My mother couldn't carry me, so she went to Yu Chengfei's mother for help. Mother Yu went to a neighbor's house to find an uncle, and then she sent me to the hospital in the town. When I got to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me and said, "It's a disease caused by overwork." Yu Mu asked strangely from the side: "He is a child, why is he overworked? No one lets him work." The doctor said : "Not just physically, but also psychologically. Even though he is just a child, he has probably experienced things that none of us have experienced. Okay, treatment is more important, let's send him back to the ward first."

By this time, I was already burning up and started talking nonsense. According to my mother’s later recollection, all I said was: “Kill, kill him.”

After losing water for more than an hour, the fever finally came down slowly. It was not as severe as before, but it was not completely gone. I always had a low fever, hovering around 38 degrees, and I was always delirious. Several times I opened my eyes and asked, "Where is my steel pipe?" My mother thought I was talking nonsense, and she didn't even Didn't take it to heart.

After three or four days of this, the low-grade fever never went away, and the mother had no choice but to call the father back. My father smelled of sweat and went to the hospital just after returning from the construction site. He put his hand on my forehead and said doubtfully, "You don't have a fever?" My mother said, "It's a low fever." My father said, "Oh shit, I don't think I have a fever. Maybe the thermometer is broken." Then. He pulled out the infusion needle on the back of my hand, pulled me up, and asked me seriously: "Son, can you withstand it?"

I nodded vaguely. My father smiled: "That's right, this low-grade fever is nothing. Just go for a walk and it will be fine." Then he pulled me out of the hospital regardless of my mother's dissuasion. My whole body was limp and I broke out in a sweat before I even took two steps. My father dragged me for two steps and finally took me to a mutton soup shop. When I entered, I shouted to the boss: "Bring me a big bowl of mutton soup, and put a lot of pepper in it!" After a while, the boss said He brought a bowl of mutton soup and put it on the table.

My father patted me on the shoulder and said, "Drink, drink it all in one go!" I really haven't eaten well these days, and I'm really hungry. I picked up the mutton soup and gulped it down, eating all the haggis in it. After drinking it, I sweated a lot and felt indescribably comfortable all over. My father asked me: "Do you still want to drink?" I said: "Drink." My father turned around and said: "One more bowl!"

After drinking three bowls in a row, my stomach was really full and I couldn’t drink any more. The mother complained next to her: "I'll get angry after drinking too much mutton soup. Don't let Haohao drink it all the time." The father waved his hand and said, "What do you know? Can you see if my son is much better now?" The mother looked carefully. I said, "I am indeed more energetic than before." I felt a little blurry in my head and a little soft in my feet, but it was indeed much better than when I was in the hospital before. My father waved his hand: "Let's go home and cook two more side dishes!"

No matter how poor or difficult the family was, my father was always calm and optimistic. As soon as he returned home, the family became much more stable, and even my low-grade fever was cured without treatment. When I got home, my mother cooked some vegetables, and my father brought the wine. My mother was anxious: "My son has just recovered from illness. Don't let him drink?" My father asked me: "Son, do you want to drink?" I said: "I will." My father said: "The minority obeys the majority. Come on, let's Drink." There was nothing my mother could do. After three glasses of wine, my father asked me: "Have you been expelled again?"

I lowered my head and said with great shame: "Yes." I was about to listen to my father's scolding, but my father burst out laughing: "Hahaha, is this the second time?" My mother said angrily next to me: "My son was fired." Except, why are you so happy?" I also looked at my father in surprise, he couldn't be laughing at me. The father said: "I am laughing at Chenggao and Bei Qili for giving up a good student like our son. When our son is admitted to Tsinghua University, they will not even have a place to cry!"

The mother said helplessly: "You are so good at comforting yourself." The father laughed and said: "What can you do if you don't comfort yourself? Expulsion is a big deal. There are so many schools in the world, which one should I study? It’s not just reciting it, it’s possible to build a new socialist country just by reciting it.” When he said this, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. I knew he was trying to make me feel less sad, but I still felt sour in my heart. After talking a lot, my father asked me, "By the way, why were you expelled?"

I said lightly, "I was just fighting with someone." I didn't dare to say that I led others to destroy the school, let alone that a friend was gone. My father didn't ask any more questions, and nodded and said, "I'll just beat him. He's young and energetic, so it's okay. Then let me ask you, which school do you want to study in? I'll run around for you these days." He I also thought that since I had good grades, it would be easy to go to any school. But I know that even if the TV stations and newspapers didn't report the smashing of Beiqi, it must have spread among the public. It's strange that other schools would want me. I shook my head and said, "I don't miss it anymore."

My father said in surprise: "You don't want to miss it anymore? What are you going to do if you don't study? Now without a diploma, there is no way out!"

The mother was also anxious: "That's right, your father and I have worked hard for you to study, but you can't just say that you will stop studying. It doesn't matter if you are expelled from the school, we will just find another school, but you can't stop studying."

I lowered my head and said solemnly, "I just don't miss you anymore."
