48 Hours a Day

"You are on summer vacation right now," Father Zhang started the car, "It's really enviable... You will know how rare such a long vacation is after you work."

"Why, are you busy?" Zhang Heng fastened his seat belts.

"This...not at all," Father Zhang scratched his head. "Our job is special. We don't have to go to work every day, but the point is not this. I just want to tell you that you should cherish the good time when you are young." He went on to say, "Since you are here, stay for a while. It just so happens that your mother misses you too. In recent years, our family hasn't gotten together very much. We can take this opportunity to drive around the Irish road trip."

However, Zhang Heng said, "Besides, I just came to see you guys, and haven't decided how long I will stay here."

Father Zhang was startled when he heard the words, "Is there anything else in your vacation?"

Zhang Heng did not answer this question, and instead asked, "Have you received any strange calls recently."

"Weird call, does the welcome advertisement for the strip club count?"

"Except for this."

"Then it's okay," Father Zhang said, "you know, our job is quite special. We have been staying abroad for these years and running around the world. Even most of our former classmates and friends rarely pay back. Contacted. This is the reason why we kept you in the country when you were young. Your mother thinks that a stable living environment is more beneficial to the growth of the child. And we just moved to Ireland half a year ago, and there is actually no one we know here. ."

"That's good, go back and pick up Grandpa too."

"Huh? I don’t have any problems with Xiaoxia, but didn’t your grandfather always want to go abroad? We used to think it was because you were still studying in the country and it was not convenient for him to leave, but now you are also old. We talked to him when we went home last time. After this incident, he just didn't expect that he still did not agree, saying that he was used to living in the country, and there were still plants in the yard to take care of."

"Let's find an excuse. Isn't my mother pregnant now? She said she was not emotionally stable and wanted grandpa to take care of her."

"How can Xiaoxia's personality be emotionally unstable..." Father Zhang stopped here suddenly, as if he realized something. "You asked me if I had any strange phone calls recently, and let us receive Grandpa. Here, did you get into any trouble in the country? Bad school? Or loan sharks. Although your mother and I are not very rich, we have saved some savings over the years. We can help you make up for it first, and then honestly. No, your mother can still sell her to that rich woman and girlfriend."

"It's not the trouble."

"What trouble can the college student get into?"

"Just in case, I can solve it by myself, just give me some time." Zhang Heng said.

"Your predominant appearance is exactly the same as when I was a child." Father Zhang did not continue to ask, but just said, "Have I told you, I saw a story of righteousness and courage when I was young."

"No, I don't remember."

"Well, everyone may generally think that minors can't go bad no matter how bad they are. After all, children are still young. Mistakes are inevitable. It is not a major event, so they are used to avoiding school violence. Not to mention, and the current law also focuses on education and guidance for juvenile delinquency, but on the other hand, this does make the cost of juvenile delinquency very low.

"Anyway, at that time, we basically had a school boss in every school. Basically, we gave up studying and gathered a group of friends, friends and dogs. Most of them would interact with some social people outside the school and recognize one or two big brothers for themselves. Supported, and then went on rampage in the school, showing off their power, bullying and bullying the students they targeted, sometimes for extortion, sometimes just simply to get pleasure.

"Unfortunately, there is a guy like this in our school. They are actually very good at picking people. They specifically select some introverted, weaker and shy students. These targets usually don't resist much, and can only endure the bullying silently. I have seen them looking for someone to buy them cigarettes, or blocking people at the school gate, but that time, it was the first time I saw them beating other students with my own eyes. I didn’t want to care about this kind of thing, but they beat them. Are students in our class.

"I don’t know him very well, but I know that he is a single-parent family, and the family situation is not so good. Besides him, there are two elderly people. They all depended on his mother to work on the factory floor. The efficiency of the cannery is not very good. He usually doesn't speak much at school and is a little taciturn. But that day happened to be when the book was to be paid for. I guess that was the reason why the group followed him, so I hesitated. Next, I still stood up and yelled at the group, what are you doing, I will call the police if I keep going!"

"and then?"

"Then I was beaten by them together with my classmates, and my books were also taken away." Father Zhang sighed, "I thought about it later, that place is actually very close to the gate of our school. If I go to the security office to find someone first, or if I really call the police instead of acting aggressively, the result may be different. Maybe we won’t be beaten and robbed of money.”

"Well, you keep telling me to calm down and stay sensible when you are in danger. I didn't expect you to be so impulsive."

"Don't think I am just an ordinary middle-aged man, but who has never been a teenager."

When Father Zhang talked about it, he was excited. He opened the window of the car while there was no one on the road, and slammed on the accelerator. He felt the thrill of the wind whistling from his ears, and he seemed to be back to his youth. when.

An hour later, the two arrived at the new residence of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother in Ireland. Although it was a rented house, it was very clean and all kinds of household appliances were purchased and equipped. The front yard was also Planted full of flowers and plants.

Mother Zhang is busy frying something in the kitchen. Compared with the Chinese New Year, her lower abdomen is already very obvious, but it is still early to give birth, it should be a few months, her complexion is as good as ever, it seems Still a heartless look.

Seeing Zhang Heng, I couldn't help laughing, "You guys are ashamed to say that I am in a daze, such a big person, can't even hold my mobile phone, where did I leave it?"

"If I know where I left it, I will pick it up again." Zhang Heng said.

"Yes, forget it, you are here at the right time, catching up with my cooking skills, you can have the honor to taste the deliciousness of the world, and tomorrow I will buy you a mobile phone together, I just want to buy a chef machine."

Father Zhang was behind and took Zhang Heng’s luggage out of the trunk. At this moment, his mobile phone rang. Father Zhang looked at the message he received, and then said, "You eat first. Things want me to go over."

"Now?" Mother Zhang asked, "but my meal is about to be done."

"Sorry, it should be something related to the paper I'm going to publish. It's rather anxious. Don't worry. I'll be back soon. Don't eat up both of you. Save me some food." Father Zhang said. The door was opened again.
