Dawn in late autumn always brings out the best in each other with the desolate northwest land. A train bound for the northwest is driving in the open field, and the rumbling of wheels makes it look lonely and dull, full of travelers' worries. A harsh whistle urged the sun to rise early behind a row of serious hills.

The passengers in the carriage are still asleep, and the sparse emptiness makes the train look like a long-distance escape. A mineral water bottle danced with the train in the corridor, accompanied by intermittent snoring.

A man curled up in his seat, wrapped in a long black windbreaker, making people feel very cold and lonely. A black hat covered his whole face and a silver watch was worn on his wrist. The pointer ticks vigorously, like blood pounding the pulse, like a restless horse running. A beam of sunlight slanted down from the gap in the curtain and shone on the ivory tablecloth. On the top hat and windbreaker, white and black have instantaneous light and shadow overlap.

A strong shaking of the train woke the sleeping man, and the top hat fell down his face and landed on the man's thigh. The man subconsciously reached out to protect the fallen hat. The man seems to wake up halfway into the black hole. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. At 5 o'clock 10, the shaking all night made the man look a little tired, with bloodshot eyes and some dark circles on his eyes. The man's eyes softened and he took a few deep breaths, which seemed to be a little breathless. Suddenly, the man became nervous, as if remembering something, and hurriedly rummaged in his seat. He was so excited that his hands trembled and he was panting. The foot seemed to be kicked by something, and the man leaned over quickly. It turned out to be a string of unremarkable yellow beads, connected by red ropes. The man took a long breath and stroked the lost beads with both hands. It seems that beads are very important to him.

The man wrapped the beads around another wrist without a watch, picked up the cup on the table, unscrewed it, took a sip, frowned and soaked the tea all night, which was a bit bitter. The man got up, adjusted his clothes, crossed the aisle of the carriage, came to the junction of the carriage, took out a pack of cigarettes from his side pocket and lit it. The man stood by the window, looked at the mountain outside the window, took a heavy breath of smoke, exhaled and the smoke climbed up the window glass. The glass is blurred, and there is a woman's face in it. The cigarette burning at the fingertips rustled and the space was distorted.

chapter one

Act I: Playground

On the playground of the campus, a group of children are chasing and playing, and several little girls are jumping rubber bands. Suddenly, three little boys came running. A chubby boy cut the rubber band with a knife and the rubber band hit a little girl in the face. The little girl squatted on the ground and began to cry.

The little boys ran around the girl with a smile and said, "Cry baby, shame face, cry baby, shame face ..."

A thin little boy came running and gave the chubby boy a heavy push. The boy was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground. When he reacted, he immediately turned over and wrestled with the thin little boy in front of him. The girl squatting on the ground stopped crying when she saw it, and immediately got up and participated in the melee! I got into a fight with a thin boy and a fat boy.

The three of them fought like a bee, and several girls next to them saw the battle and ran to the classroom at once.

Act II: The Principal's Office

The headmaster is sitting in the seat, and two men with two children are standing in the middle. Next to the headmaster, a man in a suit and tie sat in his seat angrily, smoking a cigarette in his right hand from time to time. Next to him stood a chubby little boy, who seemed to be his parents.

The headmaster pointed to the two people standing in front of him: "Look at yourself, look at them, they are all teachers, look at your children, it's ridiculous!" " Look at them playing! "

The two children bowed their heads, their clothes were covered with dirt and their hair was messy. The little girl's braid has blossomed.

One of them lowered his head and held up the little boy's head with his hand, looking distressed: "Oh, indeed, it was a terrible fight!" " "

As soon as the headmaster struck the table, he pointed to the chubby little boy and said, "Oh dear! Teacher An, I'll show you people! "

Look at that chubby little boy with black eyes and black eyes, his clothes are tattered and covered with dirt.

Another teacher hurried forward to accompany the man in the suit and tie: "Boss Wang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I am so sorry, the child is still young, naughty and not sensible! "

Boss Wang: "What! Sorry, it's over! "

Ren Jiacheng: "Hey, Boss Wang, it's all children fighting. Still an adult, be more disciplined! " "

Boss Wang: "Hey, Teacher Ren, what do you mean? You mean I didn't take care of my children! " "

Ren Jiacheng: "No, no, I didn't mean that!" "

The thin child raised his head and pointed to the chubby child and said, "He was wrong. He bullied Xiaoyu first!" " "

Ren Jiacheng quickly turned around and scolded: "In this life, you shut up!"

The thin child pursed his mouth and looked dissatisfied.

Chubby child: "I didn't, they hit me together!" " "

An Xiaoyu: "Nonsense, you bully people first!" "

Teacher An yelled at Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyu didn't dare to speak again!

Boss Wang: "Look at you two. You are still a school teacher. Look what you taught me! Really uneducated! "

Teacher An suddenly got angry and wanted to argue with him: "Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk?" ! Who has no culture! "

Ren Jiacheng quickly persuaded: "Guohua, please talk less!"

An Guohua looked at it and gave up. He lowered his head and whispered contemptuously, "The nouveau riche also said that the teacher has no culture! Money in this society has become knowledge! "

Boss Wang: "Who do you call the nouveau riche? I don't think your teacher can teach anything good! "

An Guohua was even more angry. He raised his fist and said, "There you go again!"

Boss Wang looked at an Guohua's posture: "You, you, you, what do you want? What do you want to do! "

The headmaster stood up and struck the table: "An Guohua, I think you are going to turn the sky upside down!" " "

Ren Jiacheng hurried forward to stop An Guohua: "Forget it, forget it!"

The headmaster hurriedly said to Boss Wang, "Boss Wang, don't be angry. If you have something to do, leave first!" " Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, okay! "

Boss Wang: "I tell you, you don't give an explanation today, even if it's endless today, I donated so much money to your school." Look at what teachers your school is and what good students this school can hand over! "

An Guohua wanted to go further, but was stopped by Ren Jiacheng.

When boss Wang saw it, he quickly took the child out and said, "President Wang, you must take good care of me! Otherwise, we'll see! "

Said and slipped out of the office.

The headmaster sat in the position: "You can't be soft. How much money people donate to our school every year, he is a nouveau riche. What good can it do to offend others! "

An Guohua: "Principal, no matter how rich you are, the school can't have the final say!" " "

Principal: "Guohua, you don't know the difficulty!" " The money allocated above is not even enough for your salary. If it weren't for the sponsorship of these nouveau riche, the school wouldn't even pay your salary! "

Ren Jiacheng: "Principal, that can't make children suffer!"

The headmaster looked at An Xiaoyu: "In this world, we don't suffer, who suffers!"

An Xiaoyu looked at the headmaster, looked at An Guohua, and looked puzzled: "Dad, what is this world?" ! "

An Guohua stroked An Xiaoyu's head: "Who is in charge in this world!"

Act III: Country Road

An Guohua and Ren Jiacheng ride bicycles, and Xiao and Xiao Yu sit behind them.

An Guohua: "Life! You are a good boy! Really like a man, hahaha! "

Ren Jiacheng and An Guohua rode side by side: "Guohua, don't spoil him! This child can't hide all day! I don't know which day to give me a big scorpion! "

An Guohua: "Elder brother, you can rest assured! I am sensible in my life! "

Xiao An Xiaoyu sat behind An Guohua: "Dad, it was that Wang Xian who bullied me. My brother didn't like to move his hand!" " Don't blame my brother! "

Little Ren Pingsheng saw his sister talking about himself and rushed over: "Yes, yes, he bullied Xiaoyu first!"

Ren Jiacheng: "Hey, you boy, no matter what! This battle is wrong! "

An Guohua said to the novel: "In my life, I called your mother with your father today and went to my uncle's house to eat jiaozi. Uncle, thank you for speaking for Xiaoyu today! "

Ren Pingsheng Jr. cried happily, "Oh, eat jiaozi, eat jiaozi! Uncle An, I will always protect Xiaoyu and protect him forever! "

Ren Jiacheng: "You boy, what nonsense!"

Everyone laughed.

Two bicycles drove towards the sunset in the evening, and the picture was full of gold. Two children are sitting behind the bike, their little hands and palms facing each other.

An Guohua invited Ren Jiacheng's family to have dinner at home.

There is a pot of steaming jiaozi on the table, and several bowls of side dishes are set.

An Guohua: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't mention it, eat quickly!" " "

An Guohua's wife put some jiaozi in Ren Yongsheng's wife's bowl: "Sister-in-law, come, don't mention it!"

Ren Pingsheng's wife: "OK, I'll do it myself!" "

An Guohua gave Ren Pingsheng some jiaozi: "Come on, eat more for a lifetime! When you are full, you will have the strength to protect Xiaoyu! "

Ren Pingsheng put a jiaozi in his mouth and stammered, "Well, good!"

After that, you bury your head in eating, which is called a fragrance.

An Guohua looked at Ren Pingsheng and said to Ren Jiacheng, "Brother, I really like your family's life! If only I had such a son! " Say that finish laughed.

Ren Jiacheng: "You just spoil him too much! I always wanted to have a daughter! "

Ren Jiacheng's wife: "That's not easy. Let them get married when they grow up, so you two won't have multiple sons and daughters! " "

An Guohua: "Hey, my sister-in-law is right, right, right, that's good!" " "

Holding chopsticks in his hand, An Xiaoyu inexplicably asked An Guohua, "Dad, what is marriage!" " "

An Guohua smiled: "Get married! You will know when you grow up! "

Jiaozi in Ren Pingsheng's mouth didn't swallow a bite, so he said to An Xiaoyu next to him: "After marriage, we will all be together, and we can play together every day!"

While speaking, the four adults laughed.

Ren Pingsheng put the last jiaozi in his mouth, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full!"

Putting down the chopsticks, he said and ran outside the door. Ren Jiacheng's wife called: "Wipe your mouth all your life!" "

Ren Pingsheng didn't even look at his head. He put his hand over his mouth and shouted, "No need!"

Made several adults laugh.

An Xiaoyu also put down his chopsticks and chased him out: "Brother, wait for me!" " "

He said and ran to the door.

An Guohua's wife shouted, "Xiaoyu, you haven't finished eating yet!" " "

An Xiaoyu didn't answer and ran out of the house.

An Guohua's wife: "This child!"

An Guohua: "Nothing, nothing, let them play!" " "

An Guohua: "I see, this may not have to wait to grow up!" " "

An Guohua said, and raised his glass and touched Ren Gucheng.

Ren Jiacheng's wife: "You two brothers! I am not serious all day! "

Four people is a burst of laughter.

The four people finished their meal happily with a smile, without the unhappiness of the previous day.

An Guohua's wife said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you talk first!" "

Ren Jiacheng's wife: "Sister, let me help you!" "

An Guohua's wife: "Nothing, nothing, no nephew!"

Ren Jiacheng's wife: "Hey, the family is welcome!"

Ren Jiacheng: "Brother, we are really getting tighter this day. The salary in our school is really not enough! "

An Guohua: "Who said no! That little salary, barely eating, not to mention anything else! "

Ren Jiacheng: "Yes! The children are growing up slowly! "

Ren Jiacheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed an Guohua one, lit one himself and took a deep drag.

Ren Jiacheng suddenly whispered to An Guohua mysteriously, "Brother, have you ever thought about making some extra money!"

An Guohua: "Hey, brother, I'm beginning to understand. I thought you, an honest man, wouldn't think about this! Last time I told you, you advised me not to do it! I brought it up this time!

Ren Jiacheng: "Alas, that is not forced by life!"

Ren Jiacheng: "Some parents came to me and wanted me to give them some guidance. How about it? " ! Open a cram school, let's come together! "

An Guohua: "OK, OK, count as a brother!" " "
