Chapter 089.
The dinner table at Shizuku’s house.
Ah Wen and Liu Zhi also ask Doudou what happened.
Since Liu Xiaojun had already made a scene over here, Doudou also told Ah Wen and Liu Zhi about what happened at school.
After hearing the whole story, Shizuku is furious and feels helpless.
Luckily, Dan Sui was more fierce and helped He Ziyan out, which wasn’t too much of a burden.
She said, “He shouldn’t dare to bully Ziyan anymore.”
This kind of thing adults can’t really intervene to control, it can only be so much trouble between children and children.
***
He Ziyan didn’t tell Li Shuang and He Ziran the truth.
When he returned home from the playground, he just pretended that nothing had happened and went to bed.
The next day after breakfast, He Ziran and He Ziyan went out to school together.
At the gate of the compound, He Ziran was paired with Cheng Chen, and He Ziyan was paired with Dan Sui Doudou.
He Ziran didn’t really want to go to school, so he threw his bag over his shoulder and walked leisurely.
Cheng Chen did not have the same gangster spirit as him, his schoolbag was slung over his body, and his figure was upright.
He asked He Ziran: “Last night, Liu Xiaojun’s mom brought Liu Xiaojun to Sui Sui’s house, do you know?”
Of course He Ziran didn’t know, he looked at Cheng Chen: “What happened?”
Cheng Chen said, “It seems to have something to do with your brother, it should be that Liu Xiaojun threw water into your brother’s eyes, Sui Sui taught Liu Xiaojun a lesson, I didn’t listen to all of it, I don’t know how it was taught. Look at Liu Xiaojun his mom angry that way, even the service uncle also do not put in the eyes, should be taught not light.”
He Ziran was not that curious about how Dan Sui taught Liu Xiaojun a lesson.
When he remembered He Ziyan’s red and inflamed eyes last night, his brows instantly knitted together.
He Ziyan bit the bullet and said it was an accidental splash, but it turned out to be flung by Liu Xiaojun.
He Zi Ran sank his face and nodded.
A moment later, he said, “Let’s go meet that kid later.”
***
The entire school was cleaned up yesterday.
Today the students arrive at school and go straight to the classroom to sit down and prepare for class.
Liu Xiaojun didn’t ask for a vacation, sitting in his seat and sniffling a bit.
Dan Sui and DouDou sat in front of him, Dan Sui turned around and talked to him: “Bullying on the first day of school, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you’re just going to go home and tell your parents, and lie about it, you’re a wimp.”
Liu Xiaojun sniffles a bit, “You think you’re good? Don’t you just rely on your father’s official position?”
Dan Sui: “I don’t rely on my dad, I didn’t even tell him at home, unlike you.”
Liu Xiaojun: “If it wasn’t for your dad, my mom wouldn’t have let you go last night.”
Dan Sui: “Your mom, your mom, if you have something to do, you will find your mom!”

The two argued back and forth for a few moments, but were interrupted by the bell.
The teacher came in to teach the class, with ideological and political education as the main focus, supplemented by the teaching of cultural knowledge.
This is only the first grade children, the basic culture still need to learn, otherwise you can not learn a deeper thought.
But no matter what they learn, class is a dull and boring thing.
In the classroom, most of the children were dizzy, and Dan Sui was one of the dizzy ones.
Of course, when the bell rang and the class was over, the spirit was back in full force.
Liu Xiaojun is great, listening to the class to fall asleep, the bell did not wake him up.
He was lying on his desk and smashed his mouth, but a boy came to the window next to him and shouted, “Liu Xiaojun, someone is looking for you, ask you to go to the restroom now!”
Liu Xiaojun was scared to pop up, staring out the window with a confused face.
The boy outside the window saw that he had just woken up, so he had to say it again, “Someone is looking for you, hurry up and go, they are waiting for you over there in the restroom, telling you to hurry up and go over there, or else they will come to the classroom to look for you.”
Liu Xiaojun asked confusedly, “Who is looking for me?”
The boy didn’t answer, only said, “You’ll know when you go.”
So Liu Xiaojun had to get up and go out of the classroom to the restroom.
He hadn’t fully woken up from his nap, and was slightly confused when he just walked to the door of the restroom, when he was suddenly yanked in by a handful of people.
The person dragged him in and pulled him by the collar and pressed him against the wall, he instantly woke up completely, at the same time, his legs also went limp.
There were no other elementary school students in the restroom, only a few middle school students.
Two of them he recognized, both from their compound, one was He Ziran and one was Cheng Chen.
Looking at He Ziran’s hostile face, his entire body shook.
He Ziran pressed him against the wall and raised his hand to slap him heavily twice on his face, “You’re the one who flung the water from washing the rags into He Ziyan’s eyes?” He catches someone calling Liu Xiaojun over and naturally asks about yesterday’s incident.
Liu Xiaojun was scared straight and his speech shook, “I …… didn’t do it on purpose.”
He Ziran looked at him and smiled coldly, “You don’t mean it?”
Liu Xiaojun was scared brain confused, quickly said again, “I did it on purpose.”
Realizing that it wasn’t right, he hastily changed his words again, “No, no …… I really didn’t do it on purpose ……”
He Ziran cared whether he did it on purpose or not.
He stared at Liu Xiaojun and said, “I heard that this time you were splashed with water, so I’ll spare you, in the future you give me a little bit farther away from He Ziyan, and be polite to him, or else I’ll come to school once a day to beat you. And if you dare to go home and tell your parents again, I’ll break your legs! The big deal is going in for a few years in jail, I don’t care.”
Liu Xiaojun’s teeth were even shaking, and tears were falling down his face.
He promised He Ziran, “I won’t dare to do it again! I really won’t dare anymore!”
He Ziran grabbed him by the collar and lifted him upwards, then suddenly let go and threw Liu Xiaojun to the ground.
Liu Xiaojun fell on his butt and cried out in pain with an “ouch”.
He Ziran didn’t care about him anymore, and Cheng Chen left with a few other people.
After leaving the gate of the elementary school, Cheng Chen asked He Ziran: “Still going back to class?”
He Ziran snorted a bit and said, “Going to an ass.”
***
The collective memory that kids of this era possessed of their youth was probably – freedom.
They squandered their time, their youth, and the excessive hormones of teenagers in the great freedom of no academic pressure and no one to control them.
After He Ziran caught Liu Xiaojun in the restroom and taught him a lesson, He Ziyan gained complete peace at school.
Even if everyone despised him again, they didn’t dare to mess with him because they were afraid of his little hooligan brother.
He Ziyan knew that he was being discriminated against, and he couldn’t learn to use his fists to convince people like He Ziran, so he directly didn’t interact with people much. Only when he went to and from school, he followed Dan Sui and DouDou for a while.
Before, when he didn’t go to school, He Zi Yan would follow He Zi then face out to play, but now he was mostly by himself.
When there wasn’t much going on, he took out those textbooks in his book bag and read them.
After school started, he and his older brother He Ziran were like two extremes.
He Ziran and his few buddies, wearing old uniforms or old uniforms, went around fighting, killing, and eating.
He ZiYan school to home two point one line, after school to go home, do not go anywhere.
He Zi Ran, on the other hand, never let Li Shuang worry about anything, so Li Shuang and He Zi Yan’s life was, relatively speaking, very peaceful. They do not have any other hopes for life, peace has been the biggest rare.
The only thing they look forward to in their peaceful life is to visit He Shuo at the Revolutionary Committee every month.
He Zi Ran also only in the time to visit He Shuo, behave the most good most obedient, everything nodded.
***
In the afternoon, after visiting He Shuo from the leather committee, Li Shuang raised his hand to block the sunlight.
He said He Ziran: “Every time in front of your father promised to sound good, come out and turn your head as a fart.”
He Ziran just pretended not to hear.
If he really did what he promised He Shuo, he wouldn’t be able to live a single day.
He, Li Shuang, and He Ziyan walked forward, and when a person came up to them, the three of them didn’t take a close look.
In the time to walk past, suddenly heard a sentence: “Is …… Li Shuang Li aunt?”
Hearing this sentence, Li Shuang He Zi Ran and He Zi Yan stopped their steps, turned their heads only to see that it was Serving Dan Ling.
Li Shuang froze for a moment, then barely smiled up and said in a false voice: “Yes …… it’s me …… you are …… Ling Ling, right? ”
“It’s me, Aunt Li.” Servant Dan Ling hurriedly answered.
She was looking at Li Shuang for a while just now, but didn’t dare to recognize it too much.
Since the beginning of the revolution until now, she hadn’t seen Li Shuang for almost three years.
The current Li Shuang in front of her eyes, and the Li Shuang she remembered from three years ago, had really changed too much.
In addition to the change in appearance and temperament, the tone of Li Shuang’s speech also had a great change.
Previously so proud and bright a person, now looks full of cowering.
She smiled and said to Servant Danling, “You came to your third aunt’s house?”
Servant Danling nodded, “It’s about to be vacation, came to talk to third uncle and third aunt about something.”
Li Shuang also nodded, still smiling dryly, “Then go quickly.”
Servant Danling could see that Li Shuang didn’t want to talk to her much, so she answered and left.
Li Shuang also took He Zi Ran and He Zi Yan and continued home, not staying any longer, not to mention not looking back.
Serving Danling couldn’t help but feel emotion in her heart, and turned back to look at Li Shuang a few more times.
Walking home into the courtyard door, her mind is still all about the different appearance of Li Shuang now and before.
***
Now the weather is hot.
Zhen Zhen and Sai Huai Ming are at home to avoid the summer heat and didn’t go out.
Zhong Minfen did go out to visit the family, but DouDou brought her two younger sisters over here to play, so the house was very noisy.
The children were playing their own games, and Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming were also playing their own games.
The two had built a chessboard in the house and were sitting next to it, thinking about playing chess.
They didn’t know that Shui Danling had entered the courtyard until they heard Shui Danling call for Uncle and Auntie San, and then they turned their heads.
Seeing Servant Danling, Zhen Zhen voiced out and said busily, “Ling Ling, you came just in time, quickly come over and help me.”
Servant Danling smiled and went next to her, “I’m not too good at this either.”
Zhen Zhen said, “Your third uncle is so annoying, he doesn’t know how to let me go at all.”
Servant Huai Ming was wronged, “I haven’t let you?”
Seeing the two of them like this, Shi Danling couldn’t help but laugh.
She took a bench and sat next to Zhen Zhen, helping Zhen Zhen to think of ways to play chess.
Finally winning a game, Zhen Zhen happily pushed her hand and said, “I’m not coming! Today is my win!”
Servant Huai Ming smiled, “Okay, you win.”
Zhen Zhen turned her neck to relax her muscles, “I’m just learning, otherwise I’m definitely better than you.”
Servant Huai Ming: “Well, you’re the best.”
Servant Danling sat next to her and couldn’t help herself.
She looked at Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming and said, “If you guys keep this up, I’m going to lose my teeth.”
Zhen Zhen smiled and didn’t feel embarrassed.
When she stopped talking to Shui Huaiming, she looked at Shui Danling again and asked, “It’s almost vacation, Lingling, what about your assignment?”
Servant Danling came just to say this.
She pursed her lips, and the smile on her face faded a bit as she looked at Zhen Zhen and Serving Huai Ming and said, “The school said to delay the allocation, and to let us first join a traveling medical team to go to a county in the mountainous region to receive re-education for the poor and lower middle peasants.”
In fact, even if they were formally assigned now, most of them would be assigned to the countryside or farms.
After hearing this, Zhen Zhen glanced at Squire Huai Ming.
After touching eyes with Servant Huai Ming, she then looked at Servant Danling and said, “If you don’t let your third uncle take a look and find you a job in the city, you won’t have to join the traveling medical team.”
Servant Danling lowered her eyebrows and took a deep breath.
A moment later, she looked at Zhen Zhen again and shook her head, “If I don’t join the traveling medical team, I won’t have the qualifications to be assigned. This university of mine can’t be completely in vain, I still want to wait and see what positions will be assigned.”
She knew that with her third uncle’s ability, she could find a job for her to stay in the city.
She knew that with her Uncle Huai Ming’s ability, he could find her a job and let her stay in the city. She couldn’t get into a serious organization, but she could still get into a place like a store or a factory.
But her heart is twisted and she doesn’t want to do that.
And all this wringing, also from the heart of the unwillingness and loss.
When she worked so hard to enter the university, the first year did not pass the exam lost for a long time, so the second year is doubly hard to study. No matter what other people are doing, she is seriously trying to memorize and do questions.
The second time she got in as expected, the day she got the acceptance letter, she was so happy.
She became the only college student in the Baiyun Brigade, and became the pride of everyone in the village.
The future life she had imagined was that she would study even harder when she arrived at the university and strive to be assigned a good job when she graduated. When she was successful, she would also bring her parents to her side, so that they could enjoy their happiness.
But the reality is that she went to school for only one semester, and then it was completely different from what she had imagined.
As college students, their mission was no longer to study, but something else.
The year she completed her mission, she packed her packages and went home, so depressed that she could hardly breathe.
Returning to the countryside to live the old life, in these two years, more and more feel that college life is like a dream.
This year, she resumed her studies and returned to school, but she still felt confused and full of loss.
The university life she had longed for ended so hastily.
The only thing left to think about is the graduation assignment.
Zhen Zhen and Shihua Ming understood her feelings and naturally respected her decision.
At a time like this, no one knows how to make the right choice, so they can only wade forward together with everyone else.
In the end, no one can tell whether they will step on the stone or will step on the blade.
***
For Servant Danling, there was nothing important in school today.
So she didn’t go back at night and stayed at home for the night.
After washing up and preparing to go to bed, she hesitated for a moment to go downstairs, knocked on the door of Zhen Zhen’s room, stretched her head in and looked at Serving Huai Ming and asked with a smile, “Third uncle, can I borrow third aunt from you for another night?”
When she asked this, Zhen Zhen naturally hugged her pillow and followed her.
The two went to the bed and lay down on the cool mat, picking up a fan to fan themselves and chat.
Servant Danling just wanted to chat with Zhen Zhen, nothing specific, so the topics were all random.
After chatting about this and that, chatting about fun things to laugh for a while, bad things to sigh for a while.
Thinking about seeing Li Shuang when he came over today.
Servant Danling told Zhen Zhen, “I saw Auntie Li when I came over today, she’s aged a lot, as if she’s changed, I almost didn’t dare to recognize her.”
Mentioning Li Shuang’s current appearance, Zhen Zhen couldn’t help but sigh.
She said, “She’s had a hard time these past three years.”
Servant Danling also couldn’t help but sigh along with her, “Thinking of her before, so proud and so beautiful ……”
Zhen Zhen felt blocked in her heart as she listened and changed her tone, “Let’s not talk about this.”
Serving Danling and Zhen Zhen together in silence for a while.
Changed the mood, the service Danling added: “The school side has been arranged, I will leave in two days.”
Zhen Zhen answered, “Well, I’ll see you off then.”
Two days later, Zhen Zhen took a half-day vacation from her unit.
She went to the train station with Zhong Minfen to see her off at the time agreed upon by Shi Danling.
There were quite a few students who went on the traveling medical team with Shui Danling, and most of them had family members to see them off as well.
Zhen Zhen instructed Shui Danling before the train, “Be sure to take care of yourself when you get there, and no matter what difficulties you encounter, be sure to write to me and your third uncle immediately, and you can send a telegram for urgent matters.”
Servant Danling nodded with her, “Third Aunt, I remember.”
After Zhen Zhen finished her instructions, Zhong Min Fen pulled Shui Dan Ling and instructed her for a few moments, then it was time to get on the bus.
Shi Danling carried her luggage and boarded the train with the other students, and just like the other students, she put down her luggage and stuck her head out of the window, waving her hand to Zhen Zhen and Zhong Minfen to say goodbye.
When the train started, Zhen Zhen followed the train and shouted one last thing: “Remember to write back often!”
Shidan Ling shouted back to her, “I will, Auntie, I will!”
She waved again, “Grandma, goodbye!”
