Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 44
[Chapter 44]
The school exploded, and so did Tao Xiaodong.
He didn’t expect Chi Cheng to get such a score. He didn’t even think about it because he did it on purpose. He couldn’t get this score even with his eyes closed.
Tao Xiaodong was working in the store on the day of the score check, and he didn’t even know the score.
The head teacher called, Tao Xiaodong answered it with a headset, and the teacher asked him if Chi Cheng was with him.
The tone sounded wrong. Tao Xiaodong asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Lei?” The
teacher asked him over there, “You don’t know how to separate it out, right?”
“I really don’t know.” Tao Xiaodong gestured to the client and put it down. Something stood up and went to pick it up.
The school suspected that the score was wrong, and it was impossible for Chi Cheng to fail the Chinese language test. This score was just a joke, let alone him.
Tao Xiaodong’s head “buzzed”, he didn’t doubt the wrong judgment at all, he understood what was going on almost instantly.
I didn’t expect it before, but the result is in front of me. It’s too much like what Chi Cheng can do.
Tao Xiaodong didn’t finish his work that day, he let the client dove and said he would do it another day, and drove home directly.
Tao Huainan was surprised when he got home. He was waiting for Chi Cheng to check his scores, and he was ready to experience Chi Cheng’s highlight moment. It’s not normal for me to come back at this time. When I left in the morning, I said that I would be back later today.
“Why are you back?” Tao Huainan asked his brother in surprise.
Tao Xiaodong didn’t answer him, he threw the key on the cabinet next to him and knocked it loudly.
Although Tao Huainan could not see, he was very sensitive in other aspects, and he felt that his brother was in a wrong mood. Tao Huainan put on his slippers and walked over, touched his brother’s arm, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Tao Xiaodong asked Chi Cheng, “Have you checked it yet?”
Chi Cheng said, “Not yet.”
“Check.” Tao Xiaodong pointed in the direction of the computer, “Check now.”
Brother’s voice was too serious, he was angry. Tao Huainan didn’t dare to make a sound when he heard Chi Cheng go to open the computer. He urged Chi Cheng to check the score just now, but Chi Cheng never went.
Tao Xiaodong was standing behind Chi Cheng waiting for him to check. Tao Huainan followed behind and slowly moved over to sit next to Chi Cheng.
The peak period of this time has passed, and the website is not stuck at all. After losing the admission ticket number, I jumped out directly. The bright “527” on the screen was too eye-catching.
Tao Xiaodong stared at the row of numbers and asked Chi Cheng, “How much?”
Chi Cheng didn’t say anything.
Tao Huainan turned his head in Chi Cheng’s direction and had a bad premonition.
“Didn’t you hear what I asked?” Tao Xiaodong asked again.
Chi Cheng opened his mouth and read it over and over: “527.”
As soon as the number came out, Tao Huainan’s shoulders tensed.
“It’s quite high.” Tao Xiaodong nodded and asked him, “Why did you get such a high score in the test?”
Chi Cheng didn’t speak again. Now Tao Xiaodong is like every ordinary parent, and he is so angry that he is almost losing his mind.
Tao Huainan’s first reaction was that Chi Cheng failed the exam, and he was worried that his brother would say him.
It took two seconds to gradually react, and it was impossible for Chi Cheng to pass the test like this. No matter how bad he was in the test, he has never been so low. He said that this year’s questions are very easy, and the score should be high.
“Language 68, how did you get it?” Tao Xiaodong was still controlling himself not to get angry and spoke restrainedly.
Chi Cheng remained silent, and no matter what Tao Xiaodong asked again after that, he stopped talking. It’s not that he didn’t talk to Tao Xiaodong because of the fact, no matter what he said, it would only make his brother even more angry.
Standing in front of Tao Xiaodong, he lowered his head and said nothing. Tao Xiaodong asked a few words but didn’t come up with anything, feeling his temples twitching.
“Speaking, I asked you how you took the test.” Tao Xiaodong raised his hand and pressed Chi Cheng’s shoulder, “How did you answer the paper?”
Chi Cheng took a step back and said in a low voice, “I didn’t write the essay.
” As soon as it fell, Tao Huainan gasped sharply from behind.
Tao Xiaodong nodded, but did not speak for a long time. Look at Chi Cheng, look at Tao Huainan, turn around and go out. The sweat on the back soaked the clothes, and there was an unfavorable place on the back. Tao Xiaodong raised his hand while walking and pulled the clothes off the sofa and threw them on the sofa
. Going to his room and lying down, Tao Huainan didn’t speak again all afternoon.
Chi Cheng washed the clothes that brother just took off on the sofa, then sat silently on the sofa, and went to the kitchen to cook at dinner time.
The rice was placed on the table, so I called Tao Xiaodong first: “Brother, it’s time to eat.”
Tao Xiaodong was looking at his phone, not looking at him.
Chi Cheng went to call Tao Huainan again: “Come out to eat.”
Tao Huainan didn’t respond at first, then blinked his eyes and replied in an unsteady voice: “Okay…here.”
Chi Cheng didn’t eat, and neither did Tao Xiaodong . eat. Tao Huainan sat at the dining table and ate the food by touch. He didn’t know what he ate. He only knew how to mechanically put it into his mouth with a spoon.
This is the first time that the atmosphere at home is so stiff in Tao Huainan’s impression.
Before, because Chi Cheng went home, he deliberately provoked his father to beat him, and then he fought over a chair in the school. My brother also got angry with him once. Brother didn’t talk to him that time, but that time it still couldn’t reach the current level.
Tao Xiaodong completely ignored Chi Cheng, and even Tao Huainan didn’t pay much attention to him. He left without eating that night, and he didn’t even go home for days after that.
Tao Huainan called him, and he said that he would not come back if something happened.
Brother was angry that Tao Huainan was uncomfortable, and Chi Cheng was even more difficult for him.
No one has spoken to the class group since the score was released. At first, there was a few chats that were unknown to the situation. Later, after hearing about this, no one came out to chat.
The teacher called Chi Cheng and Tao Huainan, and they both kept turning off.
Tao Huainan didn’t know what to say when others asked. He was afraid of hearing others sigh, afraid that others would say that Chi Cheng was ignorant, and afraid that others would say that Chi Cheng had no brains.
He hadn’t even taken the initiative to ask Chi Cheng why he did this these days, so he didn’t need to ask some things. Tao Huainan had no position to accuse Chi Cheng of doing something wrong, and he didn’t even dare to ask a question.
Tao Huainan is more guilty than he did wrong, Chi Cheng is all for him.
“Why are you so slack?” Chi Cheng stretched out his hand and touched Tao Huainan’s forehead, “sick again?”
Tao Huainan shook his head and said, “No.”
Tao Huainan has been like this for the past few days, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
“Don’t wrinkle.” Chi Cheng told him, “Help me think about how I can coax brother.”
Tao Huainan shook his head and said, “I can’t coax well.”
“Then what should I do?” Chi Cheng asked, “Just keep brother angry all the time?”
Tao Huainan’s mind is very confused these days, he can’t say anything, and he can’t think of any ideas for Chi Cheng. He didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t know how to feel. He honestly didn’t feel happy to let Chi Cheng stay by his side in this way, but if Chi Cheng did something wrong, it would make him so hypocritical.
The one who didn’t take this matter seriously was Chi Cheng himself. He didn’t think it was anything in his heart. When Tao Huainan was sitting at the table with his arms in a daze, Chi Cheng flicked his head and said, “Don’t be melancholy.”
Tao Huainan’s eyes fixed on the front, after a while Said: “Brother is still not back, brother made you so angry and ran away from home.”
“Help me coax.” Chi Cheng said.
“He doesn’t even care about me, how can I help you coax me.” Tao Huainan kept his previous posture and spoke slowly, “I don’t even dare to think about how angry my brother is.”
Tao Xiaodong is the most unpretentious parent. I am also used to children, and I play with the two younger brothers every day, but this time Chi Cheng is really too much.
This year, the top scorer in the city’s senior high school entrance examination scored 595 points. Of course, if Chi Cheng scored 70 points, he might not be able to get a full score. Of course, he could not fill in the difference between these two points 100%.
But what if. Who can say that he can’t fill in these two points, the math test paper Chi Cheng has always scored full marks, and it is not that he has never written a composition with full marks.
It’s not a problem for Tao Xiaodong not to go home all the time. Da Huang persuaded him in the store not to get angry with the child.
“He’s a little kid.” Tao Xiaodong pinched his brows and leaned back on the sofa, “He’s full of ideas.”
“Actually, isn’t that good?” Brother Huang said slowly, drinking tea, ” Don’t we have to worry about it?”
“I really don’t need this kind of worry.” Tao Xiaodong’s brain hurts when he thinks about it, “What a nonsense, dare to make up your own mind about anything.
” Dong.” Da Huang leaned forward and spoke in a low voice, “Let’s pick up a child and bring it back to eat and wear it to raise such a big child. The household registration has also been moved and the child has been raised. How much energy and how much does it take to raise a child? Let’s not talk about it, let’s try to be at ease without asking for anything in return. But it’s okay for people and children to have this kind of heart. It means that people have it in their hearts and can feed them well. Otherwise, you really only run for yourself, and you won’t be blocked. ?”
Tao Xiaodong said, “I understand what you mean, brother.”
He sat up straight and looked at Rhubarb, and said to him, “Indeed, I just started to bring him back. I want to find a companion for Xiaonan, and I also save snacks. It’s been these years. I have saved the heart of the province, and I really don’t need him to live for this life all his life, and take it as a gift, so why not buy a child?”
“Hey, you just think too much.” Rhubarb waved his hand and said to him, “People are happy for themselves, but Xiaonan can’t reproduce his feelings. You are still angry when you take your brother seriously. If I see this, it’s good. He’s a good boy.”
Chi Cheng, a good boy, was a little worried at home and didn’t know how to break the deadlock. Tao Huainan made a mistake and could say good things and admit his mistakes, but he couldn’t say those words even if Chi Cheng was beaten to death. He will not admit mistakes, nor soft words.
Tao Huainan woke up from a nap and came out of the room.
When I woke up, I didn’t touch Chi Cheng, so I put on my shoes and came out to find it. I still can’t handle it in my heart. I don’t like talking very much these days. I don’t ask anyone if I can’t find anyone, so I just touch a few places along the way. When he touched the sofa, he bent down and slowly swiped, frowning a little when he didn’t touch it at first, until he finally touched Chi Cheng’s arm on the side.
He didn’t speak when he touched it, put his hands on Chi Cheng’s shoulders, and straddled his legs.
Just woke up, still warm, wearing short-sleeved shorts in pajamas, leaning against Chi Cheng’s arms without saying a word. Chi Cheng put his hand on his back and patted it twice.
Tao Huainan leaned over slowly, resting his head on Chi Cheng’s shoulder, and buried his face in the crevice of his neck.
“Little brother.” Tao Huainan opened his mouth and called him softly.
Chi Cheng sat there with his head raised, one hand on his back, and replied, “Well.”
“…Did I make you work hard?” Tao Huainan leaned on Chi Cheng’s shoulder and blinked. , “Everyone is angry with you, I know you are here to accompany me.”
“It’s nothing.” Chi Cheng said.
“I actually didn’t want you to be like this…” Tao Huainan’s voice was quiet, his eyes were fixed, and he looked very helpless, “I didn’t expect this, you are so good, my brother and I are very proud. I can go blind. The school’s… I’m just afraid, afraid that there are many people around you that I don’t know, that you will be good to others.”
Chi Cheng touched Tao Huainan’s head and slowly played with his hair.
Tao Huainan just woke up, and when he spoke, his voice was soft and slow: “What should we do now? You can’t go to the Affiliated High School, and you can’t go to those experiments.”
Chi Cheng said, “It’s okay,” and said, “Where is it? it’s the same”.
“How can it be the same?” Tao Huainan’s nose was next to Chi Cheng’s neck, and the smell of the bath liquid on his brother’s body was in his breath. “Affiliated high school is so good.”
Tao Huainan hasn’t said much these days, the child doesn’t say anything. Don’t say it, I feel like I’m in trouble.
When I just woke up, I was extremely dependent on people, and I took the initiative to say these heart-warming words for a long time. Chi Cheng’s embrace is very stable, so lying here, with a slight ups and downs by Chi Cheng’s breathing, is so comfortable.
“Don’t do this in the future…” Tao Huainan listened to Chi Cheng’s heartbeat and said, “I feel very uncomfortable.”
“I said it’s the same everywhere.” Chi Cheng looked down at him, his chin was covered by Tao Huainan’s hair Rubbing it a little, Chi Cheng touched Tao Huainan’s ear lightly with his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Don’t you believe me?”
