Chapter 3 No One Can Bully Us
Chapter 3 No One Can Bully Us
It was Li Kang’s first time taking a train and it was such a thrilling experience.
In the era he lived in, there was no chance of defaulting on a payment.
Everyone scans their ID card to get on the bus.
Book your tickets online.
Although it has brought convenience to many people, it also deprives the poor who cannot afford tickets of the opportunity to skip their tickets.
Li Kang has always believed that a society that has plugged all loopholes will make people feel that they are living in a good era.
At least in some aspects of life, we should give people at the bottom some opportunities.
They have not kept up with the pace of the times, but they should also have the right to enjoy the fruits of progress.
People of this era are really honest.
Li Kang felt that this experience of evading the ticket was more exciting than when he was admitted to university.
He also beat up the school bully and vented his anger on his predecessor.
I found an empty spot at the junction of the carriages, near the door, and sat down.
No matter whether the underground is dirty or not.
There are many people on the train who are not afraid of getting dirty like him.
The carriage was packed with people, and there were people sitting in the aisle.
Most of them are from Yunnan who go to coastal areas to work.
The car was packed full.
However, there were actually a few young teenagers around Li Kang.
Looks like she's a little younger than him.
He is 17 years old this year. Li Jianhua left when he was two years old.
I don't have any impression of him being my biological father.
After traveling for a whole afternoon, I was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Li Kang sat on the ground, resting his head on his knees, and fell asleep unknowingly.
This time when he fell asleep, the obsession of his predecessor Li Kang did not come out to disturb him again, allowing Li Kang to have a good sleep, a rare occasion since he came here.
He was not awakened until the train arrived in Chongqing and someone was about to get on.
I don't know when a girl appeared around me.
The girl is very beautiful, with a pair of black and shiny eyes like stars.
Eyelashes are naturally longer.
Her wheat-colored skin was bare of makeup, and her face was the kind of small face that Li Kang liked, with a slightly pointed chin but still round.
He is thin and about 164cm tall.
The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and is not very prominent yet.
When the girl saw Li Kang looking at her, she lowered her head shyly.
Li Kang stretched, looked outside a few times, and adjusted the focus.
The train will stop at Chongqing Station for at least half an hour before leaving.
"Damn, the trains are so slow at this time."
Almost everyone who takes the train has an iron ingot.
It only takes one day.
In his time, eight-hour train rides were already frowned upon. People would only be satisfied if the journey was shortened to at least four hours.
There is only one green train like this one still running.
It's from Shanghai to WLMQ.
There is only one train. The whole journey takes 36 hours.
Even if I had only one iron ingot, I wouldn't dare say I could complete the entire journey.
"How long will it take us to get to Shanghai?"
Li Kang asked the girl next to him.
The girl was slightly stunned.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Meixia."
"My name is Li Kang. Muzi Li, Guangli Kang." Li Kang introduced himself in a familiar manner, "Are you going to Shanghai too?"
Lin Meixia hummed lightly.
"It should take more than two days to get from here to Shanghai."
Li Kang felt a slight pain in his butt.
It’s been so long, I don’t know if I can hold on.
It takes three days and two nights to take a train from Yunnan to Shanghai.
Even if the Iron Ingot Man comes, he must kneel down.
Li Kang can only admire the people nowadays, each of them is a master of iron ingots.
"Boxed lunch. Fresh boxed lunch."
"Boxed lunch, fresh boxed lunch."
The residents here would bring their own lunch boxes to sell during the half-hour break when the train stops.
It just so happened that Li Kang was also hungry.
I stopped the woman selling lunch boxes and asked, "How much is your lunch box?"
“10 yuan a portion, cheap and delicious.”
"Why is the lunch box so expensive? It shouldn't cost that much if it's all meat."
In 93, the average annual income of the whole country was only yuan, and a day's work might only earn a dozen yuan.
How can it not be expensive?
Li Kang only had one hundred and ten yuan on him.
If he hadn't evaded the ticket, he would have been out of money by now.
“It’s not expensive at all. Just ask about the lunch boxes on the train. They cost 20 yuan each.
A bucket of instant noodles costs ten yuan. And you still think it's too expensive."
Li Kang took out the money and said, "Okay, okay. One serving."
"That's right," the old lady said, taking the money from his hand. "Man is like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry."
Then he was given a still steaming lunch box. Li Kang didn't care anymore, he was the only one who bought a lunch box.
He didn't feel embarrassed at all and started eating with big mouthfuls.
He hasn't had two good meals since grandma passed away.
The box lunch may taste a bit bad to others, but to him, it tastes very good.
Chongqing people also love spicy food, and they use a lot of chili peppers in their dishes.
"Lin Meixia, you sit here alone.
Why don’t you go to your parents’ place? They may be having dinner now.”
Lin Meixia looked at Li Kang eating so happily, her throat moving, "I came to Shanghai to find my biological father."
"Ah?! Are you also going to Shanghai to find your biological father?"
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Suddenly, Li Kang realized a problem.
In the past, educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields were generally assigned to the same place.
It is possible that their fathers knew each other.
"What's your father's name?"
"My father's name is Lin Zhenghua. Do you know my father?"
"How could I recognize him? I can't even recognize my own father.
But I think our fathers might know each other.”
Lin Meixia seemed somewhat happy, "That's great, this way we can go to Shanghai together to visit our relatives."
The boy squatting nearby also heard the conversation between Li Kang and Lin Meixia.
"Are you also going to Shanghai to look for your parents?"
"The same to you?"
The other person nodded and said, "My father passed away when I was one year old. He passed away in 80."
……
"My mother was an educated youth who came to Xishuangbanna. She also left in 80."
That year, almost all the educated youth in Xishuangbanna who could leave had left.
Li Kang didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the four children he met here were all going to Shanghai to find their biological parents.
I felt a little sad, "If it were spread across the country, how many children like this would there be?"
Several people introduced themselves to each other. Only Li Kang was the oldest, 17 years old, and would be in his third year of high school after the summer vacation.
The other four, Lin Meixia was 15 years old, 16 years old in lunar age, had just graduated from the third grade of junior high school, and her father was Lin Zhenghua.
Guo Yixing is 15 years old and still in the second grade of junior high school. His father’s name is Guo Mingyuan.
Liu Lang, 16 years old, dropped out of school, his father is Liu Bing.
Zhang Ziming, 15 years old, dropped out of school, his mother’s name is Xu Liting.
……
"My stepfather often bullied me and my mother. So I ran away and went to find my biological father," said Zhang Ziming.
"Brother Li Kang, why did you go to Shanghai to find my father?"
He is the oldest among them and has more experience than them, so he has higher prestige.
"My family is all gone. My grandma died, and my mom also died a few years ago. So I want to go see my only relative."
"If you go to Shanghai and see your father, will you come back?" Lin Meixia asked Li Kang.
"Of course I did. I guess my dad must have found a new home in Shanghai. When I got to his place, I just wanted to see him.
Then I asked him to pay me the child support he owed me over the years. Then we were even.”
Li Kang's words revealed a reality that they were unwilling to face.
If their parents are also married, what should they do?
Maybe you didn't even think about it when you went out.
All four of them were silent.
They still want to live with their biological parents.
After all, life was not going well in that place before.
Children without a father or a mother will be bullied.
"Look at the wounds on my face. This time I ran into the people who used to bully me.
Guess what? "
"what happened?"
Li Kang deliberately revealed the injuries on his face and successfully attracted their attention.
After all, it's hard not to notice such an obvious injury.
I just didn't have the nerve to ask before.
"I defeated them all by myself. I even bit off the ear of one of them. How powerful is your Kang brother?"
Guo Yixing admired Li Kang very much. "Brother Kang, I was bullied a lot in school before. They even forced me to shave my head."
His hair was indeed a little short, and no one could laugh.
"Then you should learn from me. If anyone dares to bully you, I will pick up a stone and throw it at them.
Beat them up and scare them, so they won’t dare to bully you anymore.”
So these children started talking about their experiences of being bullied at school.
Not a single one has any good memories.
Lin Meixia was ostracized by her classmates at school. Although no one beat her, she was still ridiculed and mocked.
Liu Lang often fought with others and had many injuries on his body, but he never took the initiative to bully others.
Zhang Ziming is a bald man and has converted to Buddhism.
Guo Yixing was often beaten by his classmates, which was somewhat similar to what happened to Li Kang's previous incarnation.
……
“If you come back in the future, just do as I teach you, and don’t be afraid of being beaten.
Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming."
