Chapter Nine, Mother

Dad, Fu Kun also called out.

Your younger brother is of course sleeping on the lower bunk; the upper bunk requires climbing up, the mother said from the side

Upon returning home, seeing Diu Diu startled him, causing all his hair to stand on end

Then stay, "Mom patted his shoulder, "I have said that you are my son. Whatever happens, you can always tell me. We can discuss anything together."

When Fu Kun rushed over, the first thing he saw was the dog lying on the ground and Fu Yijie, who was being held down, crying and shouting.

Seeing that he was no longer struggling, Zhang Qingkai placed him on the ground

No. Fu Yijie cried very sadly, tears kept falling down, and he could not wipe them dry.

Mom ... ... '' Fu Yijie closed his eyes, tilted his face up, and began to wail loudly, crying and shouting at the same time

Before the winter vacation, the school traditionally holds a parent-teacher meeting, with my father and mother attending separately

My mother once said that the environment can greatly influence a person. Most of the children in the tube buildings do not amount to much. Those who are a bit older, around ten to twenty years old, either take over their parents' jobs or get involved with the outside world.

The rope snapped with a single tug, and the big silly bear wanted to pull the dog out, but the dog was very uncooperative, sitting back on all fours and refusing to move.

Aunt Li knew Fu Kunye, and she was quite straightforward in admitting her mistake; perhaps it really wasn't him. So she pointed at Fu Yijie and asked, "Isn't he your brother?"

"Let's go home for dinner," my mother said as she turned around to head back.

The younger ones in this group, none of them seem to be the type who can continue their studies.

Fu Yijie quickly picked up Diu Diu and turned to run away

"Yijie, do you want to keep Diu Diu?" Mom placed the dog back into Yijie's arms

This made Fu Yijie particularly angry

After a long while, she turned around and ran to Fu Yijie, embracing him tightly: "Oh, good son! Good son!"

"Good!" Fu Kun shouted, "Are you sleeping on the upper side or the lower side?"

However, my father's treatment was clearly different, as Teacher Yu praised Fu Yijie profusely

Roqi no longer interacted with Diu Diu and him, but every time would show a fierce expression and glare at him

Sun Wei indeed heard it, stopped his actions, and he had to report it.

"Hurry home, what are you getting so emotional about..." Fu Kun nudged him.

He felt somewhat unbalanced and asked his mother when he first called her "Mom." His mother couldn't remember and didn't seem particularly moved. Now, just one call of "Mom" from Fu Yijie could bring her to tears, which was too... Turning his head again, he discovered that Sun Wei, who had been standing foolishly to the side, was also wiping away tears. He could hardly believe his eyes

Fu Yijie turned his head in surprise to look at him, his eyes wide open, thinking that he had kept it well hidden, but unexpectedly, Fu Kun had known all along

Confronting teachers, skipping classes, fighting

"Yijie, can you call me Dad? I don't want to be split into two groups with Mom."

The big silly bear usually runs around the yard with a few kids from the building after school. Today, after running several laps without finding any fun, he was feeling bored when suddenly he heard barking coming from behind the building

The big silly bear was led home by Aunt Li, and everyone else was busy going back to cook. Only then did Mom reach out and pat Fu Yijie's head, asking, "What is the puppy's name?"

Get up! Mother shouted

He pushed me

Fu Yijie still did not speak, only lowering his head

He said it was his dog. The big silly bear curled his lip

The big silly bear and Fu Kun got tangled up together.

What a touching moment. Sun Wei rubbed his eyes

Who knows whose dog it is! I thought it was a wild dog!" The big silly bear turned his face away and, seeing Aunt Li running over, hurriedly called out, "Grandma!"

Fu Yijie did not speak, but simply stared at him in a daze

I just finished, and it seems I spoke back at the right moment

"Yijie, it is not appropriate to call me that. Your mother and I are husband and wife, and your way of addressing me..." Dad sincerely had a heart-to-heart conversation with Fu Yijie

Garlic was hung on every floor, but Aunt Li was convinced it was Fu Kun's doing, so she dragged Luo Qi to his house to demand an explanation

Fu Kun stood there in a daze, watching as tears sparkled in his mother's eyes

Sun Wei did not give him time to adjust, and with a kick, he struck him. Fu Kun took the opportunity to shove him aside, flipped over, and mounted his stomach, slapping him across the face: "Dare to hit my brother!"

The bed that was made for us last time is ready, and the paint has dried, " Dad said happily while standing outside the small partition in the living room, " You can bring it over in the next couple of days, so you two won't have to squeeze together anymore.

He waved his hand in front of Sun Wei's eyes and said, "Hehehe, you called my mom, why are you crying along?"

Fu Yijie raised his head, staring at his mother's back. Just as she was about to walk into the corridor, he suddenly called out in a drawn-out voice, filled with tears: "Momーー"

Every day after school, Fu Yijie takes Diu Diu to stroll around the courtyard. Whenever he encounters Luo Qi, he always picks up Diu Diu.

Fu Yijie squatted beside Diudiu's cage, raised his head to look at Aunt Li, and said in a very soft voice: "No."

Fu Kun tugged at him: "Let's go"

Fu Yijie fell silent; he did not know what fate awaited the stray puppy he had picked up. He brought it home, provided it with a bed and food, but now he was uncertain whether he could continue to do so.

Just as he was about to push the kettle out with all his might, a hand reached from behind and grabbed his wrist

It is quite common for children to fight, so as an adult, you should not get so involved. Aunt Li was somewhat displeased; her heart ached for her precious grandson being scolded like that

I really don't want to get involved. If I don't care, it's two against one, and neither side has the upper hand. If you get hurt later, don't feel sorry for yourself. " Mom smiled and didn't say much more. She walked up to Fu Yijie, glanced at the puppy in his arms, then turned to Fu Kun and whispered, " You fought well, but you shouldn't eat dinner tonight. I need to settle the score with you! "

"What are you doing?" Dad replied

In the end, the last bunch of garlic was taken home by Aunt Li, and this matter was left unresolved, becoming one of the "unsolved cases" among the children in the tube building.

Fu Kun felt very dissatisfied that he had only fought twice in the past month, and each time he was pulled away from the battlefield. However, when he saw his mother's gaze fixed on him, he immediately lowered his head.

Fu Kun is still being lectured, and the issues listed by the teacher could warrant a special session for him. In an effort to provide some comfort to his mother, Teacher Yang spent a considerable amount of time identifying two strengths of Fu Kun. The first is his intelligence, which he has consistently mentioned as Fu Kun's hallmark. The second is that during this period, he has not fallen behind on his assignments

In this way, not only does Aunt Li find it hard to believe that he did it, but even Luo Qi cannot believe that Fu Yijie, who could only cry and struggle while being pinned to the ground by him, has the audacity to do so

"Then how can you still have the audacity to hit him!" Mother shouted again

Fu Kun's belly was round from eating, and he lay on the sofa, rubbing it incessantly

Sun Wei was not idle; he was always on the same front as Fu Kun. When Fu Kun attacked, he attacked; when Fu Kun ran, he followed. At this moment, he naturally rushed in to join the battle

I ... ... " sighed Fu Kun

The big silly bear stopped moving, but continued to curse under its breath

"This treatment... I won't do it either," Fu Kun sighed, "I am going to do my homework."

The only benefit of Fu Yijie's call of "Mom" in Fu Kun's view is that during dinner, his mother forgot to settle the accounts with him, and she even made a pot of braised pork, cooking all the meat in the house for a week, and even Diu Diu received a portion.

You go and pick up a rabbit, and I will also let you keep it

Particularly, the leader of this group of children is Luo Qi, the grandson of Aunt Li. He is dark and chubby, standing half a head taller than Fu Kun. Fu Kun has always been at odds with him and secretly refers to him as "Big Silly Bear". This person is even more detestable than Wang Zhiqiang

After Da Fu Yi Jie called out to his parents, Fu Kun felt that his family had entered the pre-New Year phase ahead of time. However, before he could fully enjoy this feeling for a few days, his mother began to think about settling accounts.

Ah! Dad was delighted and picked him up, spinning him around twice, "Ah! Ah!"

Although Fu Kun is not a particularly good child, he usually does not play with the other children in the building, as he finds them to be silly and noisy, engaging in antics that he considers meaningless

This call of "mother" was like a binding spell, freezing Xiao Shuqin in place

Before he could stand up, a small figure pounced on him, climbing onto his back. He was slapped several times on the face; although it did not hurt much, he was nearly dazed by the suddenness of it.

He was the first to hit Fu Yijie! Sun Wei shouted, "And he even killed the dog!"

The several children standing around did not dare to approach, as fighting is something that would get them beaten by adults if discovered. Moreover, that is Fu Kun's younger brother; while the big silly bear is not afraid of Fu Kun, they are afraid.

In total, Fu Kun was punished to stand side by side with that big black dog in the bus company's parking lot for one hour

Fu Yijie stood still holding the dog, still with his head lowered

Why didn't you tell me? His mother was also looking at him

Why did he push you

"Then why did you hit my son?" The mother changed to a gentler tone again

Diu Diu. Fu Yijie has stopped crying, but his eyes are still red, and he responds somewhat nervously

"I picked it up." Fu Yijie lowered his head

Xiao Shuqin was the first to run out. If Dan Fan could hear such a commotion, her precious son Fu Kun must be inside. Therefore, she ran out without even looking and called out, "Fu Kun!"

Big Silly Bear saw a small yellow dog in the messy pile of dry grass behind the building, tied up with a little frayed rope in a storage room that no longer had a door

The adults who were busy cooking upstairs finally heard the commotion downstairs and rushed out.

Perhaps the most melancholic is Dad, as Fu Yijie called for Mom, yet still referred to him as Uncle

Although it was just a very low sound of two notes, it immediately invigorated him

"I am also a son," Fu Kun interjected, "so why is it not acceptable for me to raise rabbits?"

Upon realizing that the person who hit him was Fu Kun's new younger brother, he became enraged, jumped up, pushed Fu Yijie aside, and pinned him to the ground: "You lunatic! I will kill you!"

The big silly bear simply grabbed it and started running, while a group of children followed behind, running and shouting.

No! This is the first time that Fu Kun has so bluntly contradicted his mother

However, Fu Kun is not Fu Yijie. Although fighting is not a daily occurrence for him, it can be considered a snack. As he fell to the ground, he sharply bent his leg and used his knee to jab at the big silly bear's backside.

Sun Wei pulled Fu Yijie up from the ground: "Bullying such a small child at your size, truly impressive!"

Where is the fun?" Zhang Qingkai said in a very low voice

Today, for some unknown reason, when Fu Yijie took Diu Diu out, he did not encounter Luo Qi and the library; it seems he has not yet returned home

It was only when Diu Diu returned that I saw Luo Qi turning in from outside to the downstairs.

After spinning around a few times and feeling a bit dizzy, he heard someone scream beside him, and then he was suddenly hit hard in the ribs. Already feeling dizzy, the impact caused him to fall directly onto the ground.

"Did you not say that we no longer keep pets at home?" Fu Kun scratched his head, "What if she likes it so much and you send it away?"

"Go back, you little rascal." Xia Fei gave him a pat on the backside

The big silly bear was already pushing forward, and with this additional shove, it fell down due to inertia. The hand that was meant to strike Fu Kun's face had to extend out to support itself on the ground, otherwise, it would have landed face-first.

"A piece of dog!" Fu Kun finally heard his mother's voice, shouted, and threw another punch at the big silly bear, "I will beat you to death!"

"It has been about a month," Fu Kun said from the side, "he has let Diu Diu eat all his eggs."

Intelligent, obedient, attentive in class, writes neatly, consistently scores full marks in exams, always gets all homework correct, and is polite to both teachers and classmates

Fu Yijie stared at his fingers for a long time, and finally softly called out: "Dad"

Two days later, when Luo Qi returned home, he was struck on the head by a garlic bulb that had fallen from an unknown floor.

Mother might deal with him in an unpredictable way, perhaps even making him stop a bus on the street with his own body, and only if everyone on the bus applauds and praises his skills will he be considered to have passed the test

Although he was not injured, it was quite painful, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground holding his head and did not get up for a long time

Zhang Qingkai ran out behind his mother, and he quickly grabbed Fu Kun by the collar and lifted him up. At that moment, the big silly bear jumped up, trying to hit Fu Kun again, but Zhang Qingkai raised his leg, causing the big silly bear to crash into his knee

After running a few laps in the yard while pulling the dog, the dog became exhausted, unable to stand, and kept falling over. The big silly bear found it uninteresting, so he started to spin in place while tugging on the leash, shouting: "Fly upーー"

Fortunately, because the house is small, my father made a cage for Diu Diu and placed it behind the door

Fu Kun and the big silly bear were tangled together, their eyes red with anger, and they didn't hear anything at all

Fu Yijie glanced at his mother, lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded

Mother did not rush to comfort Fu Yijie, but instead walked directly in front of the big silly bear, bent down, and politely asked: "Why are you tormenting my son's dog"

All the blood in his body surged to his forehead, and he kicked the big silly bear in the face, knocking him off Fu Yijie's body.

The most promising one is Xia Fei, but with his health being that way, even though he excels in his studies, he can only stay at home to recuperate

How long has it been since you picked it up? Where is it being raised?

The dormitory of the bus company, the oldest one is over by the tube building, is not inhabited by any leaders, but rather by retirees, those receiving labor insurance, and families like that of Fu Kun, who have been waiting for years to be allocated housing.

"Little thing," Xia Fei released his hand, smiled, and squatted down in front of him, her voice lowered, "You really know how to play the victim."

"You can just mess around like this, stray dog!" Mother suddenly shouted.

He was startled, and when he turned around, tears had already welled up in his eyes

Fu Yijie stood at the edge of the corridor on the third floor, watching him approach. As he was about to reach the ground floor, Fu Yijie raised his hand and pushed a plastic watering can that someone had placed on the corridor railing outward.

Fu Kun has done quite a few bad things, but he has never engaged in a sneak attack, and he is unwilling to admit it under any circumstances

Fu Yijie dislikes him not only because of the previous fight but also because he often claims to be an unwanted child. Of course, if Fu Kun is present, he does not say this; he only expresses it when he is alone with Fu Yijie

Then I will climb up. Fu Kun has always yearned to climb up to sleep, just like sleeping in a tree, how fun that would be

Fu Yijie remained silent until both his father and mother had walked away, and then he said, "I will sleep on the upper side too"

Fu Yijie remained silent, while Fu Kun laughed beside him: "Uncle Fu."

My dog—" Fu Yijie cried out while desperately waving his hands and kicking his legs.

There is water in the pot; if it were to be smashed this time, it would be a serious matter," Xia Fei said in a low voice. "If you really can't bear it, next time use an empty pot, do you understand?

He ran to Fu Yijie, who was holding a dog. He originally intended to embrace Fu Yijie but instead wiped his tears and said: "Don't cry, the dog is okay, right?"

"Oh dear," Aunt Li was startled, "Shuqin, it's fine, it's just a dog."

After standing for an hour, Fu Kun's face turned purple. Although the big black dog was tied up by the gatekeeper, it kept staring at him, making Fu Kun feel as if each glance was like a bite.

Aunt, take a look? Mom took the dog from his arms and examined it, "Its paw is injured, but it should be fine. Just take care of it. Where did Diu Diu come from?"

The big silly bear wiped his face, said nothing, rushed over, and pushed Fu Kun down to the ground. He had the advantage of weight; Fu Kun was quite tall but thin, and was immediately knocked down to the ground.

The big silly bear felt that it was quite embarrassing to have a dog that wouldn't obey in front of several children, so he directly dragged the dog out, while the dog struggled behind, trying to break free.

"Dog?" Xiao Shuse was taken aback, seeing Fu Yijie squatting to one side, tears streaming down his face, holding a dirty little dog in his arms. "Whose dog is this?"
