The strongest peasant girl in the reborn city

Chapter 8
Dong Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, his anger disappeared instantly, but he still looked at her with half-belief: "Where is the injury, is it serious?"

Although this girl doesn't like to talk, it's not like she hasn't lied before. If it's something else, he won't push her too hard.But for a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, it is not a trivial matter not to return home overnight, and she must not take it lightly!

Dong Jun said: "Wait!" She turned around and went upstairs in two or three steps, got the medical record from her desk drawer, and handed it to him when she came back.

Dong Jiangshan opened it and looked, his expression changed suddenly: the left lung was ruptured by external force, and the heart arteries were damaged...

"Why didn't you tell your family about such a big incident? How are you now? Are you feeling better? How did you fall so badly? You're such an old man and you don't know how to be careful when you walk."

"I've taken the medicine and I'm fine."

He looked her up and down, and seeing that she was really alive and kicking, Dong Jiangshan was relieved, and he returned the medical records to her and said: "Uncle is outside, he has been worried about you all day and night, you Hurry up and have a look!"

"Ah."

Dong Jun turned to leave, Dong Jiangshan suddenly remembered and asked: "By the way, this is the medical record of the Municipal People's Hospital. Where did you get the money to go to the hospital?"

"Xiao Jue borrowed it."

Xiao Jue?Dong Jiangshan looked at Dong Jun's back in surprise. When did she know Xiao Jue so well that she could borrow money and call her by name?

Leaving the school gate has to pass through a large playground, Dong Jun kept on stepping, and quickly extracted information about Dong Jun's father in his mind.

Dong Jun's father has a very local name, Dong Babao.

In the 30s, their family was one of the richest families in the village, and my great-grandfather was once a big landlord.But since the grandfather married an uneasy daughter-in-law, her grandmother, something went wrong.

Grandmother used to be an unruly young lady from a well-matched rich family. She was spoiled by her parents, who was lazy and had a temper, and loved to gamble. She ruined the family within a few years.Later, during the Cultural Revolution, the wealthy middle peasants were brutally suppressed again, and the Dong family gradually fell into stereotypes and became ordinary farmers in the village.

Grandma Dong is an old lady with bound feet who has a very serious patriarchal feudal ideology. In the old society, daughters were basically losers.She once gave birth to eight sons, and she gave birth to a daughter. When her daughter was five years old, she gave it to others as a child bride. Not long after, her daughter died of homesickness and illness.

At that time, it was a common problem that children could not be raised well enough.Of the eight sons of the Dong family, only three grew up, Dong Jun's uncle Dong Dashan; the fourth uncle Dong Sihai, the father of Dong Jiangshan and Dong Jiangyue; and the youngest son, Dong Jun's father Dong Babao.

Because Dong Babao is the youngest, he has been the most favored child in his family since he was a child.In his time, it was considered good for a child from a poor family to be able to study, but he was supported by his family to finish high school.But later, because his wife didn't live up to expectations and only gave birth to three losers, and he refused to divorce even at any rate, Grandma Dong looked at him as a bit disliked.

Twelve years ago, after Dong Jun's mother gave birth to two daughters in a row, the third child was a daughter. Grandma Dong couldn't help being furious and scolded her for being a hen that couldn't lay good eggs.

On the third day after Dong Guan was born, conflicts broke out between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law because of a bowl of chicken soup.

Grandma Dong scolded Dong Jun's mother for not being able to have a son and yet daring to be treated as a rich wife. It was her, a lazy funeral star who married into Dong's family, which ruined the luck of the three generations of Dong's family.She scolded endlessly, and Dong Jun's mother couldn't help but reply, and Grandma Dong was so angry that she grabbed a bowl and threw it on her.

It was Dong Babao who ran over in a hurry to block it, but a bowl of chicken soup poured all over his face, scalding his face.Later, after the wound healed, his face turned an abnormal reddish-purple color, and there were still some wrinkled burn scars on his skin, which could never get better.Not only his face, but also his throat was slightly injured, and his voice became a little hoarse afterward.

It was also because of this that Dong Jun's mother ran away with others in anger.As for Dong Babao himself, because he was disfigured and disfigured, even if he was a rare intellectual in his time, he couldn't find a decent job with enough salary to support his three daughters, so he could only move cement in the cement factory as coolie, relying on consumption Healthy to support a family of four.

He works very hard, and he works on other people's rest days, so he only goes home at the end of each month.The reason why I came here this time is because my mother called him to complain, saying that the eldest daughter had done a huge scandal in school, and asked him to come and expel her immediately, so as to save myself from being embarrassing and wasting money outside.

Because of the scars on his face, Dong Babao basically never went to school for fear of embarrassing his daughter.He stood under the streetlight a little far from the school gate, with his head lowered as if afraid of people.With one of the cheapest low-quality cigarettes between his fingers, amidst the clouds and mist, his vicissitudes of life looked blank.People who come and go always have to look at him twice, and Dong Jun saw him as soon as he came out.

"Come here, have you eaten yet?" Seeing his daughter approaching, Dong Babao raised his head slightly.

"En!" Dong Jun responded briefly.Although she has memories, she still feels like a stranger, and she still can't say "Dad".

He came to get his daughter to drop out of school, and Dong Babao didn't know what to say for a while, he took a cigarette in his mouth and took a puff irritably before blowing out the smoke ring.It was the first time Dong Jun smelled such a pungent smell of cigarettes, she couldn't help covering her nose and coughed twice, Dong Babao glanced at her, and pinched the cigarette away.

He took out a half-worn wallet from his trouser pocket and asked Dong Jun, "Your fourth brother told me on the phone just now that you fell and went to the hospital yesterday. You borrowed money from your classmates. Are you feeling better? Borrowed How many?"

Dong Jun replied in a low voice: "It's much better, and it cost 670 and [-] yuan in the hospital."

Dong Babao took out 700 yuan and handed it over: "I'll take it and return it to your classmate later."

Dong Jun picked it up silently. The man in front of him was obviously not yet 40 years old, but he looked like a 56-year-old man.Looking at his gray hair and the cement stains on the hem of his clothes, the images of his hard work filled his mind, and he felt a little depressed.

After collecting the wallet, Dong Babao asked Dong Jun hesitantly: "Junjun, do you... still want to go to school?" When her daughter graduated from junior high school, she said that she didn't want to study anymore and wanted to go out to work. I don't know if she still has this idea.

Dong Jun looked up at him and said nothing, waiting for his next words.

Dong Babao said: "Yesterday your grandma called me, and she told me something. Daddy thinks... Daddy..."

After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth: "Your second brother said that you can go to his studio to do odd jobs and learn some techniques along the way. For the time being, he will give you 500 yuan a month. Look... "

At this point, his eyes suddenly turned red and he couldn't continue. He just lowered his head and said bitterly: "Actually, Dad hopes that you can finish your studies in college. Only in this way can you be outstanding and not be looked down upon by others. As long as you are willing to study, Dad will continue to study." I am happy in my heart after working hard. But you are not thinking about studying now, I, I really..."
