Behind Zhang Qiang, a long-haired man with a slanted face pointed at Chen Feng and shouted: "Brother Qiang is guarding these streets. You must obey Brother Qiang no matter what you do! Get out of here! Otherwise we will smash your stall."
!”
"Let's go..." Jia Peng immediately grabbed Chen Feng, who was on the verge of going berserk, "Brother Feng, let's go."
Hearing Jia Peng's words, the anger in Chen Feng's eyes gradually dissipated, and he sighed in his heart, "Okay, let's go."
The two lowered their heads and began to clean up.
Zhang Qiang sneered, "If you come again tomorrow, remember to prepare the management fee, otherwise don't blame me for not showing mercy." After saying that, he left with a few people arrogantly.
"It seems we really have to change places." Jia Peng sighed helplessly.
“Where else can I set up a stall?”
"There is also a night market on Changping Street, and there are a lot of people there. We will go there tomorrow night."
"Then it's settled."
Having already bought these things, you can't just quit in spite of the difficulties, otherwise all your money will be wasted.
After the two packed up, they pushed the cart toward the courtyard on Longxing Street while talking.
"Brother Feng, luckily I held you back just now. I think you looked like you couldn't hold it any longer."
"Aren't you angry?"
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We will settle the score with him later."
Chen Feng said calmly: "But he has been bullying us for ten years..."
The two of them fell into silence, it should be said that they fell into sadness.
After ten years of painful prison life, what he faced after he was released was even greater pain, a society that he could not adapt to, other people's different eyes, a tight purse, and an unknown future.
The lights in front began to dim, and the two of them gradually walked into the darkness.
However, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow and life will go on.
Chen Feng believed that he would be able to get rid of the darkness in front of him as soon as possible.
In the early morning, after the hysterical crowing of the big rooster, Su Qing and Chen Xiaomeng started to get up one after another, rubbing their eyes and yawning.
I smelled the fragrance as soon as I opened the door.
"Xiaomeng, he came back last night."
"It would be better if you don't come back." Chen Xiaomeng snorted coldly.
"Today he has to go to school to participate in the sports meeting." Su Qing said with a helpless smile: "I asked him to ask for leave. I didn't expect that your teacher Li didn't agree. It seems that you can't escape."
"There's nothing you can do if you can't escape..." Chen Xiaomeng pursed her lips in frustration.
"It's okay. I asked for leave today and will attend as your sister. Then I will sit with you and we will face it together."
"It's great that you can go." Chen Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked out of the room. Chen Feng was exercising in the yard. He smiled and said, "I have already prepared the rice. I will make fried noodles for you today."
However, Chen Feng was greeted by two stinky faces passing by him.
Chen Feng didn't take it seriously and looked at them walking to the pool to wash themselves, "I'll go to school with you in a while."
"Who wants you to follow us!" Chen Xiaomeng said: "Everyone should go his own way. Also, don't sit with me when you get to school. Stay away from us!"
"Hmm? Amelia Su is going too?"
"Yes, I asked for leave to stay with Xiaomeng."
Chen Feng lamented that Su Qing was like a real sister to Xiaomeng. She not only took care of her daily life, but also cared about Xiaomeng's psychological growth.
Even without the landlord's instructions, just for this reason, Chen Feng would still treat her well in the future.
"But I also have to participate in competitions!"
"Just participate in your competition." Su Qing said calmly.
Chen Xiaomeng snorted, "It's already embarrassing for you to go. If you end up in last place and it's even more embarrassing, then don't come back."
Chen Feng returned to the room speechlessly, looking at his face in the mirror with messy hair and unshaven beard, thinking to himself that this image would not be good for school.
There wasn't even a toilet in the yard, let alone a place to take a bath. He had to go to a public bathhouse in the alley. After Chen Feng finally found some worn-out sportswear, he went to the bathhouse and spent ten yuan to take a bath.
He shaved, but it was too late to trim his hair. His hair was almost shawl-length. Fortunately, after taking a shower, his hair was still flowing. Especially his eyes that were once dull and lifeless now have a little sparkle and a wretched air.
Nothing remains, and the whole person looks much more energetic and handsome.
Time was a bit tight, the sports meeting started in twenty minutes, so he didn't waste any money and went for a run. He took a taxi from Jiuli Town and went to school.
When we arrived at the school gate, we heard the athletes' march playing lively inside, and the school announcer was loudly cheering the athletes through the loudspeaker.
It's still too late, the opening ceremony of the sports meeting has already ended.
When I entered the school and came to the playground, the surrounding stands were already filled with teachers, students and parents. There were already student athletes on the track and in the playground starting to warm up in preparation for the competition.
Chen Feng found Class 2, Grade 6, and immediately saw Chen Xiaomeng and Su Qing sitting together. The two also saw Chen Feng, and they both turned away and pretended not to know each other.
There are parents sitting next to each student, and some two parents are here. This leaves no free space in the square where Class 2, Grade 6 is located. Only the small table with the sign of Class 2, Grade 6 in front has one.
There is an empty seat, and there is only one person sitting in that seat, the head teacher Li Yue.
Chen Feng sat next to her without saying anything. Li Yue turned her head and glanced at him. She was stunned for a moment, and then she recognized Chen Feng. This image was completely different from the previous two times she saw him.
It looks quite pleasing to the eye now.
Li Yue subconsciously moved to the side and whispered: "I thought you wouldn't come."
"Since you agreed, can you not come?"
"Your competition number." Li Yue handed Chen Feng a number with Parent Group No. 66 written on it.
“It’s pretty smooth!”
"Don't be too happy, you have applied for four projects."
"What? How come there are so many!?"
"I only got the appearance list early this morning, and I didn't know you had been reported so much."
"Does the sports committee member of your class have a grudge against my daughter? Call him over and I'll talk to him about life."
"What do you want to do? Don't scare the child!" Li Yue glared at him.
"Some naughty kids will be lawless if they don't give them a taste of strength. They must have seen that my Xiaomeng is easy to bully, so they keep bullying her!"
"Chen Xiaomeng won't be bullied. You don't know, right? She has practiced kung fu. No one dares to mess with her."
Chen Feng thought of the door that his daughter kicked so hard that he couldn't close it, and thought to himself that he must have practiced, otherwise how could a twelve-year-old girl have such strong legs?
"Since no one is bullying her, why does this sports committee apply for so many projects? This is obviously aimed at Xiaomeng."
Li Yue said: "Since I have already signed up, I can only participate. I will ask clearly about this matter after the sports meeting. Now is not the time to ask." Li Yue pointed to the track, "Chen Xiaomeng said
It’s time to join the competition.”
Chen Feng looked towards the runway and saw his daughter who had put on sportswear and was warming up.
"Come on Xiaomeng!" Chen Feng shouted loudly.
Many people looked at Chen Feng with strange eyes. It turned out that this was Chen Xiaomeng’s father who was a prisoner in a labor camp!
Su Qing held her forehead.
Chen Xiaomeng's little face suddenly pulled down, as if it had been coated with paste and tightened.
Everyone was talking about him with different expressions.
Some despise, some are afraid, some are disgusted...
"Don't shout so loudly, for fear that others won't know." Li Yue whispered.
"Didn't you say that? Now that we are here to face it, don't hide it. As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!"
Li Yue nodded slightly, thinking to herself that it seemed that it was not because of the ideological work he had done that day, but because he wanted to come, and he wanted to face it with his daughter.
The competition for primary school students is divided into Children's Group A and Children's Group B. Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 are in Children's Group A, and students in grades 1, 2 and 3 are in Children's Group B.
Only students from Children's Group A participated in the 100-meter and 200-meter races. Chen Xiaomeng signed up for all of them. Although she was affected by strange looks from all directions, she still ran very fast and entered the competition with the first place in the preliminaries.
the finals.
She also won first place in the high jump event she participated in.
Another girl named Xu Shiqi from Class 2, Grade 6, was also very good. She also entered the finals of the 100-200 meters and won first place in the long jump.
However, the results of other students, both boys and girls, are disastrous, not even third place. Class 2 relies entirely on Chen Xiaomeng and Xu Shiqi, and is currently ranked third overall.
Chen Feng was very proud, "My daughter is really great."
Li Yue smiled and said: "She and Xu Shiqi are very outstanding children in our class. They can excel in studies or other activities. They don't obey the other and they compete overtly and covertly. However, in these two unit tests, Xu Shiqi's results
Better than Xiaomeng. From Xiaomeng's point of view, it seems that it's because of you. So, you have to strive for a good ranking today, so that she will have a better impression of you."
Chen Feng secretly thought that of course he wanted to get a good ranking, but he didn't know what his athletic abilities were.
During the morning run, he felt that his endurance and speed were acceptable. He felt that even if he didn't get the ranking, he would definitely not be at the bottom.
The highlight of Children's Group A, the 200-meter and 100-meter finals, are about to begin one after another.
First came the 200-meter final. Chen Xiaomeng did well in the preliminaries and was assigned to the third track. The equally outstanding Xu Shiqi was in the fourth track.
The teachers, students and parents of Class 2, Grade 6 stood up and cheered.
"Xu Shiqi, first place!"
"Come on, Xu Shiqi!"
“Xu Shiqi is the best!”
"..."
Almost everyone cheered for Xu Shiqi.
"Chen Xiaomeng, come on!" Chen Feng stood up and shouted.
"Come on Chen Xiaomeng!" Su Qing also shouted to Chen Xiaomeng, and of course Qin Lan, Liu Juncheng and her good friend Zhang Yan, but their cheers were drowned out by Xu Shiqi's cheers.
Xu Shiqi from the fourth lane sneered, "Did you see that? No one likes you, the daughter of a prisoner, and I feel embarrassed to be in the same class with you!"
