Chapter 42 The Untamed Legacy 2
"Teacher, look at the eggs I drew." A child tugged on the man's clothes, and in exchange the man touched his head in approval. The child proudly raised his nose, and by the way, leaned his head to look at the drawing board in front of the man. His little face was exposed. marvel.
Comparing with his own painting again, the pen was raised again immediately, Duan Zheng hugged him from behind, and drew an arc with his hands.Others fiddled with color palettes, or continued to paint and paint their faces.
A round egg, a few apples, a few drawing boards side by side, one painting is a day.
It’s hot summer right now, with cicadas chirping among the branches, most people prefer to stay at home eating popsicles and playing games, but there are a group of children who can’t hold pens steadily and are sent off early by their parents who want to win at the starting line When I got here, I knocked on the door in the morning and voluntarily stayed until the evening cicadas stopped.
In this small and old residential house, small tables are put together, and a squeaky fan is hung above the head. Painting can make people forget the time, but it doesn't feel cramped and stuffy.
Children are ignorant and may not like to draw, but they like the feeling of staying with Teacher Duan Zheng.And Duan Zheng is more like teaching children to be enlightened than teaching them to draw, and even more like a nanny who takes care of children.The neighbors in the neighborhood are also very shrewd, knowing that he used to be a top student in the Academy of Fine Arts, even better than the teachers in the Children's Palace, so he entrusts the child at a very low price, and every entrustment is a daytime, a summer vacation.
Duan Zheng is also very gentle in character, and is very good at coaxing children, but when he pays for other people's children, he subconsciously ignores the hidden dangers from within the family.
separated by a wall.
Dirty corridors, the light bulbs hanging above the head have long been in disrepair, but no one on the same floor is willing to pay a small sum of money to replace them.In the dark, only a little spark can be seen.
A young man was leaning on the inside, silently lowering his head and smoking a cigarette. His figure was thin and his handsome face was floating in the smoke.There were several cigarette butts under his feet.Smoking is not prohibited in the corridors of the community, but it is indeed rare to openly use your own doorway as a smoking area.
It's not that there are no residents passing by upstairs and downstairs, and it's not pleasing to the eye. A public place is full of smog, but when you look up at the fight scars on the young man's face, and the few boys who are not easy to mess with, they are all silent. gone.
"Brother Duan, why don't you go in?" One of the young men who kept a tight fit asked as he stubbed out his cigarette.It's all come to the door of the house. If you don't go in, you can just smoke here, isn't it reasonable?
If you really want to smoke, you can go in and smoke while blowing on the air conditioner.
Ah, he forgot again, Brother Duan's family background is well known, there is no air conditioner in the house, just a broken fan.The fan is really not heat-resistant, which also became the reason for the boss of No. [-] Middle School to criticize their brother Duan—"Brothers, don't look at Duan Yien being so arrogant, he is an orphan without a father and no mother, and he can't even afford an air conditioner at home. To brag about owning a house in the middle of the city really makes me laugh my ass off."
The sarcasm happened to be heard by the young man, making Chen San'er terrified, and he didn't dare to look at the expression on his brother Duan's face at the moment.
A big battle was about to break out, and it ended with the boss of the second district being slapped because of his cheap talk.
From now on, younger brother Chen San'er felt that Brother Duan's temper became more and more eccentric, and he was so unpredictable that he often wandered around with his family without returning home on purpose.
For example, at this moment, Brother Duan actually said, "That's not my home."
The young man took a deep puff of his cigarette, and his words were somewhat indifferent.In fact, he just wanted to go in. After all, this dilapidated house has produced memories since he was a toddler. He could count the number of scratches on the wall with his eyes closed, but when he took out the key and pointed it at the keyhole opened the door.
Inside the door was the day-to-day scene. The man was teaching others how to draw. He only had his eyes on his own students, only the group of kids who couldn't even speak well, and didn't even notice that he was back.
And as he grew up, that man became more and more philistine, more and more stingy, only staring at the excruciatingly poor tuition fees, Duan Yien gradually turned from adoring and admiring him to looking down on him.
Without saying a word, he closed the door forcefully with a "bang", turned around and left.
The world inside the door is happy and harmonious, but the delinquent boy outside the door is smoking.There is a door, it seems that two completely different worlds are separated.
Chen San'er's face turned bitter, Brother Duan didn't want to go home, who among them younger brothers would dare to go home first.I don't know how many years this broken community has been. The corridors are crowded to death, but the ground is so dirty that he is almost numb from squatting, and he dare not sit down on his buttocks, only dare to switch legs and continue squatting.
He came up with an idea: "Brother Duan, today is a special day, since you don't want to go home, why don't the brothers accompany you to have fun?"
In fact, he wanted to stay somewhere else.
Fortunately, Brother Duan nodded without hesitation, and the unscrupulous teenagers immediately packed up their things and moved their positions.
Duan Zheng in the room seemed to have sensed it. He raised his head, with a friendly smile on his face, and tenderness like water in his eyes.
When the time came, he tidied up the messy desktop, and apologized to the parents who came to pick up their children: "I don't need to send the children here tomorrow, I won't start classes this year.
"Why?"
"What's the matter, Xiao Duan, have you encountered any difficulties in life? Tell your aunt to see if you can solve it."
"Yes, my child likes you very much. If you can't explain it, you won't open it. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it."
Parents will not hide their emotions. Working from [-] to [-], they cannot take care of their children, and they are even impatient to take care of their children. Losing a nursery school with low price, good service and teaching painting is more uncomfortable for them than anyone else.
Duan Zheng smiled and said nothing, because the original owner worked so hard to make up the lessons to earn money, to cut down on food and clothing for that little wolf cub, he was reluctant to install the air conditioner, and he was reluctant to replace the phone screen when it was broken, and he couldn't exchange a thank you in the end .Just now I was emotional and slammed the door. This door is about to break down, and I don't know how much it will cost to repair.
Since the other party didn't appreciate it, why would he treat himself badly in the days to come.
Duan Zheng thought confidently.
After dismissing a group of students, Duan Zheng was very tired. He went back to his room and took a nap. When he woke up, the sky was already dark, and he heard the sound of talking and laughing in the living room.
He opened the door and went out, and found several boys sitting in the room, about sixteen or seventeen years old, talking and laughing.A dirty brown ball, together with a few beer cans, rolled at the feet of several people.
The young man in the lead had the most profound and handsome facial features. The back of the T-shirt was covered with sweat stains, sticking to his body, outlining the broad line of the young man's back.
But when he heard Duan Zheng coming out, the young man slightly raised his eyelids, his originally smiling expression collapsed in an instant, and everyone could keenly feel the cold and silent aura about him.
It wasn't just him, when they saw Duan Zheng, the voices of the others also fell silent automatically.
Chen San'er also opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at Duan Zheng. It was also the first time he saw his boss' guardian in name. To be honest, he was younger than he thought. He even said in his heart, my darling. A face, what kind of painting is it, isn't it good to debut as an artist?
However, there is one thing that fits the imagination, people who are engaged in art generally have a good temperament, a more elegant way of saying that they are not worldly, but to put it bluntly, they are quite pleasing to the eye.
"Why didn't you cook?" the boy asked with a cold face.
"Why did you come back so late?" Duan Zheng also asked him, on his fair face, a pair of black eyes did not blink.
What responded to him was the indifference of the teenager.
Chen San'er felt that even when this uncle was angry, his tone was soft, and his voice was so pleasant that it made people lose half of their bones.
But their nerves are still there, knowing that once the adults come to such an occasion, they have to withdraw, whispering one by one, and then politely picked up the basketball and shoes and left.
They walked quickly, but left a mess behind.
While tidying up, Duan Zheng said angrily, "Why are you still drinking? Have you forgotten that you are a minor?" He imitated the habit of the original owner, nagging endlessly.
Halfway through the nagging, I met the boy's amber eyes, which were beautiful in color, like glass beads, but could stab people.He was sneering, "What right do you have to control me?"
Duan Zheng: "How can you talk like that, I'm your uncle! I don't care who cares about you?"
He knew that under the instigation of the rich kid's family, Duan Yien probably knew by now that Duan Zheng had no blood relationship with him, but his identity could still bluff people.
"Uncle?" Duan Yien snorted softly, as if disdainful, before Duan Zheng got angry, he preemptively asked: "What right do you have to be angry, do you remember what day it is today? You even forgot my birthday Already!"
Come on, this identity doesn't work anymore.
Duan Zheng is more emotionally sensitive than the original owner, he can feel the flashing hatred in the young man's eyes, yes, hatred.The child raised by the original owner actually harbored resentment towards him, who could not be in a complicated mood?Duan Zheng felt a twinge in his heart, as if he felt the same.
Duan Zheng is not the original owner, he doesn't want to repay grievances with virtue, continue to be a good uncle who is selfless and dedicated, and he doesn't want to teach this kid a lesson, he just wants to quickly turn back the timeline, to the day when the true and false young master's identity is revealed.
He just waited for the rich man to throw a 500 million check to his adoptive uncle as in the original plot, to sever his relationship with this little wolf cub.He will not refuse like the original owner, he will be very happy, and even seriously consider selling the cub by the catty, how much he can weigh.
Thinking of the future scene, Duan Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling much more relieved.It's a pity that there are still two years before the timeline, so he can only act patiently.
After silently saying "500 million, 500 million" in his heart, Duan Zheng also put on a straight face, and said indifferently: "Of course I remember that this is your birthday, so Yien, do you still remember that today is not only your birthday, but also What day is it?"
This was a complexion and tone that had never appeared on Duan Zheng's gentle face. Now it was the young man's turn to be stunned, and his aggressive manner paused slightly. He frowned and said, "What day is it?"
Duan Zheng was articulate, so he would not let himself fall into a disadvantageous situation. He said word by word: "Of course it is your mother's death day!"
"..." The young man seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, and suddenly he was speechless.
The original owner did deliberately ignore his nephew's birthday every year, for no other reason, because it was not only the other party's birthday, but also the death day of his favorite woman.The original owner never said it, but Duan Zheng had to let this little white-eyed wolf know that his pretty face was full of pain, but there was a bit of accusation in his words: You are not filial, you even forgot your mother's death date, how could you I still think about my happy birthday.
"Yi En, while I am happy for your birthday and one year older, I also feel pain for your mother's death, so I ignore your feelings..."
Duan Yien couldn't listen to the next words, Duan Zheng stood on the moral high ground, those soft words pierced his heart like a needle, all he could think about was the anniversary of his mother's death, and his heart had been neglected for a long time His anger was instantly extinguished by the water of sadness.
He was still dissatisfied with Duan Zheng, but he also knew that he was indeed wrong in this matter.
He returned to the room in a daze, no longer thinking about celebrating his birthday.
He didn't realize that Duan Zheng didn't cook him dinner at all, so he was hungry like this.The conflict between the fake uncle and nephew in the plot was eliminated in this way.
When the sun came into the room, he remembered one thing, that is, even if he didn't celebrate his birthday, Duan Zheng still had to give him a gift, and these two things didn't conflict at all.He went directly to the door of Duan Zheng's bedroom and patiently waited for Duan Zheng to get up.
When Duan Zheng got up, he saw the little wolf cub's slightly optimistic eyes, and he was enlightened. Fortunately, he was prepared. He took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from under the bed, handed it over, and said softly: "This is A gift for you, I forgot to give it to you yesterday. I noticed a long time ago that your shoes have signs of wear, so..."
Duan Zheng has been very stingy these years, and this time he actually bought him new shoes. Duan Yien took it flattered, and opened the box to see that there was actually a thick stack of mock questions and practice papers inside.
The huge surprise burst like a bubble, Duan Yien's face turned numb, and he felt that he was really stupid for expecting Duan Zheng just now.
Duan Zheng naturally saw the disappointment on his face, and he said, "Don't you like it?" This man's face is extremely beautiful, and the way he tilts his head slightly to look at him can easily distract people.
Duan Yien was no exception. After he was stunned for a moment, his expression returned to his indifferent expression. He closed the lid: "Didn't you say you noticed my shoes? Then why did you give me these questions?" Does he seem to be someone who knows how to do questions? ?And since it wasn't a gift of shoes, Duan Zheng was free to bring some shoes, which made him happy for nothing.
"Oh yes, I noticed that your shoes were worn out, and I wanted to buy you a new pair of shoes, but when I was about to buy them, I realized that beautiful shoes are like expensive jewelry that will be snatched away, but stuffed in your head The knowledge in it belongs to you only, and no one can take it away." Duan Zheng said innocently, the reason is actually that brand-name sneakers are too expensive, and it is still cheaper to buy them.
He had to let the domineering president of the wealthy family know that no matter how poor Duan Zheng was in his slum, he would not be poor in his children's education.
Duan Yien was so angry that he choked: "..." Damn, this reason is too strong, even if the rebellious teenager is very dissatisfied, he can't refute it at all.
"And Yien, you will be a sophomore in high school soon. It's time for you to know Fourier series, geometric vectors, derivation of compound functions, law of energy conservation, free combination of genes and so on."
Duan Yien was confused by his bunch of nouns, he felt like he had never heard of any of them, and always felt that he was being ridiculed invisible, and waited until Duan Zheng was far away before taking out his phone and starting Baidu.
……
Damn, he couldn't even understand Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation.
