Chapter 278 Those Records

At night, the meal is finished.

Qi Baobao and Zhou Xiaomo, who drank some wine, washed the dishes in the kitchen. Because they drank wine at dinner, the two women looked slightly drunk.

"Sister Qi, thank you for taking care of my brother." Zhou Xiaomo chatted with Qi Baobao while washing dishes.

"Why do you thank me? He is patient. How can he take care of me? He is taking care of me." Qi Baobao said, "Xiaomo, it's you. You should thank him well. For you, he has suffered a lot this year."

Zhou Xiaomo secretly wiped her tears and said gratefully, "I know that he is always so kind to me and doesn't care about his body at all."

"Yes, he is a person who doesn't know how to be tired." Qi Bao said with great emotion, "I never thought that a young man who has not finished high school would have the perseverance to stay up late and study by himself under the street lamp. I have never thought that a young man who is dizzy and afraid of heights will have the courage to grab food with those black people. I have never thought that a young man who has nothing can be short I have come to this point in a year..."

Zhou Xiaomo listened to Qi Baobao's words, and tears had fallen down. After a pause, she asked Qi Baobao, "Sister Qi, you may have seen those scars on his back?"

Qi Baobao was stunned first, and then nodded slightly. After all, the back of the weekend ** was taken off in the hospital for the weekend, so when thinking of that scene, Qi Baobao looked slightly elated. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but I don't know where those scars came from."

"You have already..." Seeing Qi Baobao's blush and nodded, Zhou Xiaomo's heart was full of sadness, but she did not show it, because this was the biggest secret buried in her heart.

How can Baby Qi not understand that Zhou Xiaomo misunderstood that she had done things between men and women on weekends? For a while, her face turned red and hurriedly explained, but in order not to let Zhou Xiaomo know that she was beaten when she went to the hospital on the weekend, she lied: "Ximo, don't get me wrong, your brother and I are still clear. White. That time he fainted because of hypoglycemia. When he was in the hospital, I changed the hospital uniform for him, so I accidentally saw it.

"Is that so?" Hearing that he went to the hospital because of hypoglycemia on the weekend, Zhou Xiaomo looked slightly and paused. She said, "Sister Qi, do you know how those scars on his back came from?"

Qi Baobao shook her head, and her curiosity drove her to ask Zhou Xiaomo, "How did you get here?"

Recalling the big and small scars on his back on the weekend, Zhou Xiaomo said sadly, "Our family is very poor. Our parents were laid off when we were very young. Isn't there a saying that the children of poor families have been in charge of the family early? My brother is such a person. When he was in elementary school, he was very sensible. He said that only studying hard can change the poverty of the Zhou family, so he would stay up late to study every night. Sometimes he was too sleepy. He learned from the ancient 'head suspension cone thorns'. He would hide in the bedroom and beat his back with his belt.

"You can't imagine that a teenage primary school student specializes in advanced courses such as high school mathematics and high school English every night, and you won't expect a fifth-grade primary school student to be proficient in English, French and Japanese..."

"In the sixth grade, he participated in the National Primary School Composition Competition and won the first prize. In the first year of junior high school, he participated in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition with a full score. In the middle school entrance examination in the third year of junior high school, he got the first place in Quankang City, which was more than 80 points higher than the second place..."

"Since he was a child, he has been known as a genius, known as a top student and a tester, but who knows that he hides in the bedroom every night and beats his back again and again with the cowhide belt that my father used when he was young?"

"There are always countless bitterness hidden behind the glory. I live next door to him. The walls of our house have no sound insulation. At night, listening to the crackling sound of him beating his back with a belt, I will cry on the desk. Since I was a child, my parents have liked to tell us inspirational stories about celebrities, but I can say for sure that no matter how inspirational celebrity stories are, they are not as inspiring as my brother. I can say with certainty that I wouldn't have been able to get into college if I hadn't been influenced by him.

After listening to what Zhou Xiaomo said, Qi Baobao felt shocked her heart again. Now she finally understands why the young man had the perseverance to squat under the street lamp in the heavy snow and studied by herself. She finally understood why the young man under 20 dared to fight with those black people. He had been using a belt since he was a child. What kind of perseverance and courage do you have?

"Since he works so hard and has such good grades, why hasn't he finished high school?" Qi Baobao was very puzzled. She asked Zhou Xiaomo, "I heard him say that he was kicked out of school when he was a sophomore in high school."

"This is his maturity." Zhou Xiaomo said quietly, "After my parents were laid off, the family's expenses could only be earned by picking up rags and setting up stalls. At that time, my brother gradually understood that money was not easy to come by."

"After graduating from junior high school, I went to high school. She and I went to high school at the same time. How much does it cost? How much does it cost to live? Looking at his parents' increasingly arched back, he was very distressed. On the first day of high school, my brother secretly told me his thoughts for the first time. He said that he was going to give up his studies. He said that his parents were too hard and tired to provide for their two children. He said that he would share the pressure of the family.

"I scolded him at that time. I said that the family is a little bitter now, but we should study hard. As long as we graduate from college and find a job, the family environment will naturally be fine. However, he said that it costs money to go to high school, and it still costs money to go to college. It can't be supported by his family's income of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. Even if he can have scholarships, scholarships and loans when he went to college, the pressure on his parents will never weaken because of this. He also said that he didn't want me to be distressed by the hardship of life. He wanted to let I had a better life in college than those second and third generations.

"I can't convince him. Although he is a younger brother since he was a child, my sister has always been his care and protected by him."

"He is too smart. In order not to make his parents sad because of his dropping out of school, he chose to deliberately let his grades decline after going to high school. Every time he took the exam, he deliberately made mistakes in the questions he would obviously do. Moreover, during that time, he often skipped classes to work part-time, bar waiters, set up stalls, and migrant workers on construction sites. He has done everything. In this way, a talented top student slowly fell.

"Of course, if it's just because of declining grades and frequent skipping classes, it's impossible for him to fire him. Not long after the second year of high school, he invited a girl from the next class to the laboratory for self-study. He deliberately wanted to do that with that girl... He calculated it. Often cleverly, it happened that several big leaders of the school inspected it that night and just bumped into..."

"The school did not report this matter in order to take care of the girl's reputation and the reputation of the school, but found some good reasons to dismiss my brother..."

"A person who spurred himself with a belt since he was a child in order to get into college had to find ways to get out of the school. How hard should my brother be at that time? That time, he dragged his father's reading bag alone in the mountains with his obsolete broken schoolbag and buried my grandfather's grave bag and cried for three days and nights..."

"He fainted from hunger and cried. I found him first. At that time, he fell in front of Grandpa's grave and was skinny."

"It's been a long time, but I still remember what my father said to him in the hospital when I was next to him."

"My father said at that time, 'Son, you still went my way after all. Since your grandfather's grandfather's generation, our Zhou family has been poor. When I was a child, your grandfather also hoped that I could become a scholar and become a leader. However, I let him down. He thinks that you are smart when you are young, and you don't know how much you have. Especially when you got the first place in the high school entrance examination, the old man was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. When you were a senior in high school, he left. At that time, you were in class. He didn't let me tell you. He walked with a smile and said that he was happy. Finally, he could go underground to explain to the ancestors of the Zhou family. He said that he wanted to tell his ancestors that through the efforts of countless lifetimes, our Zhou family finally had a scholar. What a pity! Hey!'"

"My father was very distressed when he said this, but he would not know that my brother was even more painful when he heard this. At that time, I wanted to tell my father that my brother was not kicked out of school because he couldn't read..."

"At that time, after listening to my father's words, my brother, who was suddenly crying in **, suddenly stopped crying. He clenched his fists and his bloody eyes were full of perseverance..."

"From that day, my brother began to go out to look for a job. Although he is very capable and although he is no worse than those who have studied in college, his age is there, his education is there, and no company will ask him. Finally, he went to work in a brick factory through that girl..."< /P>

"Sister Qi, how hard it is to work in a brick factory. Maybe you and I have just heard that you have never experienced it yourself. Carrying cement, picking up mud and sand, and moving bricks on the car. I dare to say that even men in their 20s and 30 years old may not be able to do it, but my brother has persisted. Although the salary is not high, although he has to work more than ten a day An hour, although he has lost weight in a month..."

"The scars on his back that were pulled out by the belt ended up becoming indelible marks because of the erosion of cement and sweat..."

"In addition to the belt injury, the scar on my brother's back was caused by a fight. He was bullied when he was poor. From the day he entered school, his brother grinned and grinned with all those who looked down on him and bullied him. At the same time, he also broke his head.

"The most impressive time was when I was in my senior year of high school. At that time, a gangster outside our school pestered me all day long after school and asked me to be his girlfriend. At that time, I didn't dare to go home after school. A few days later, my brother didn't know where he knew about it. At that time, he rushed from the brick factory to the gate of our school. At that time, after school at noon, the gangster with a group of little brothers blocked at the door to wait for me. My brother rushed up without saying anything and patted it with a brick according to the little gangster's vest.

"It's just a brick, and the gangster lay on the ground, and his little brothers also pulled out a knife to besiege my brother one by one. I panicked and rushed to persuade him to fight, but they even fought with me. In order to protect me, my brother pressed on me and let those knives cut on his back crazily, as miserable as cutting watermelon.

"Later, those people were tired of beating. My brother gritted his teeth and stood up and grabbed the knife of one of the gangsters. He asked me to run away, while he ignored his bloody back and chased the gangsters who cut his back as if he were crazy. Finally, the gangsters all ran away. "

"Because of too much blood loss, my brother fell into an alley. When I caught up, he was almost out..."
