Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1042: A Troublemaker

When Song Ying came home from get off work, she was surprised to find that her son Lin Dongzhe, who always made her look like a mud monkey, was playing in the yard cleanly.

The stove in the kitchen was still boiling water, and several kettles nearby were also filled with hot water.

"Haozi, this stove..."

Before Song Ying finished asking, Lin Dongzhe answered first: "Brother Hao made them all. He even cooked for me. Stewed radish with cabbage is better than what my mother cooks."

Song Ying was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qin Hao.

"Aunt Song, I'm used to doing all these housework at the Qin family, so you don't have to be polite to me. When you go to work in the future, just leave the housework to me, and I will take good care of Lin Dongzhe."

Song Ying felt even more sorry for Qin Hao when she heard this. Thinking of the scene of an eight-year-old child being forced to light the stove, cook, and fetch hot water, she kept cursing Qin Jianjun and his wife in her heart as good-for-nothings.

When Lin Wufeng came back, Song Ying called him to the kitchen and described what happened today in vivid detail.

"I was wondering why you started cooking so quickly today. Turns out you had a little helper." Lin Wufeng joked.

Song Ying rolled her eyes at him and said awkwardly, "But I always feel that this is not a good idea. Haozi is only an eight-year-old child after all, and is only five or six months older than Lin Dongzhe. Look at what Lin Dongzhe can do, lying on the ground like a toad all day long."

"Besides, I became Haozi's guardian because I felt sorry for the child and wanted to help him. Now I'm asking him to do housework all day. What's that? It's like Zhou Ba Pi. If the neighbors knew about it, who knows how they would frame me."

Lin Wufeng thought about it and said, "That's right."

"But Haozi is much more mature than his peers. Just like he said, he really treats us as his family. If we are too polite to him, we might hurt his feelings."

Song Ying was in a dilemma: "This is what I'm worried about."

"By the way, Haozi is eight years old this year. Can he go to elementary school?"

In the 1970s, children generally started school relatively late, beginning first grade at the age of seven or eight. Primary school was also a five-year system, and it was not until the late 1970s that it was changed to a six-year system.

Song Ying's eyes lit up: "Yes, we can let him go to school. In this way, he can go to school when we are at work. When he finishes school, we are almost off work, so he won't have to do so much housework."

"Then you won't have such a good helper." Lin Wufeng joked.

Song Ying pouted and said, "I didn't bring Haozi back to work for me. If that's the case, what's the difference between me and Qin Jianjun and the others?"

"My wife is really beautiful and kind."

"You just know."

After Song Ying was smug for a while, she whispered to Lin Wufeng, "Did you notice anything different about Lin Dongzhe today after you came back?"

"There's nothing different, right? He's in trouble again?" Lin Wufeng asked puzzledly.

Song Ying said unhappily, "Didn't you notice that Lin Dongzhe is much cleaner today than usual?"

"It seems to be true."

"And Lin Dongzhe was calling Qin Hao all the time yesterday, but now he always says Brother Hao in front and Brother Hao behind. He's almost become someone's follower."

Lin Wufeng was also surprised when he heard this: "You mean, Haozi subdued Lin Dongzhe, the Monkey King, in just one day?"

While eating, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying finally got the answer.

In particular, when Lin Wufeng saw the paper airplane Qin Hao folded, he almost dropped the bowl in his hand.

As a college student in the 1960s, Lin Wufeng also studied science and engineering, with dynamics being a required course. What he saw was not only the unique shape of the paper airplane, but also the knowledge of dynamics and aerodynamics hidden beneath the unique shape.

This is definitely not knowledge that an eight-year-old can master.

"Haozi, where did you learn how to make this paper airplane?"

Qin Hao answered casually: "My father taught me. He also learned from an old man in the cowshed. Later I heard that the old man died."

Lin Wufeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he heard this, this kind of thing was very common in the 1960s. Many of his classmates at that time were assigned to remote and poor areas with extremely difficult conditions because of their family background, such as mining, building railways, and being sent to farms. Since his family background was poor peasants, he was lucky enough to be assigned to a factory, and he was considered to have a better life among that group of classmates.

"That's such a pity." Lin Wufeng said to Qin Hao.

"Haozi, I just discussed with your aunt Song Ying and decided to send you to school. What do you think?"

Qin Hao pretended to hesitate: "Of course it would be good to go to school, but the tuition fee..."

Song Ying said with a smile: "Don't worry, you get a subsidy of 20 yuan a month. How can a child spend so much money? It's enough for you to go to school."

"It's settled then. I'll go to the school and ask tomorrow."

"Thank you, Aunt Song, Uncle Lin."

"You're so polite, and you say you treat us as family." Song Ying said angrily.

Qin Hao pretended to be stupid and smiled.

Lin Dongzhe on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, let Hao go to the attached primary school, so that we can have a companion."

Song Ying glared at him and said, "You just want a companion, you just want a playmate, right? I'm telling you, Lin Dongzhe, it doesn't matter if you don't study hard, but you are not allowed to affect Haozi, otherwise I will beat your butt."

"Yeah, I can go to school with Brother Hao." Seeing his mother agreed, Lin Dongzhe jumped off the chair excitedly. As a result, he accidentally fell and lay on the ground for a long time without recovering from the pain.

Song Ying and Lin Wufeng watched their son's joy turn into sorrow, and they didn't know whether to comfort him or laugh out loud.

"By the way, I heard that our neighbor is moving in tomorrow. He has two children, both of whom go to the attached primary school. His husband is a teacher, so he doesn't need to work three shifts. In the future, there will be an adult at home to take care of us while we are at work."

After dinner, the family chatted in the courtyard. Unfortunately, it was cloudy in Suzhou recently and we couldn’t see the stars.

After hearing what Song Ying said, Lin Wufeng began to look forward to the new neighbor.

Early the next morning, Lin Wufeng went to inquire about Qin Hao's going to the affiliated primary school. Since it was Sunday, Song Ying didn't need to go to work, so she stayed at home to make breakfast for Qin Hao and Lin Dongzhe.

But the weather was not good. It started raining just after we finished breakfast.

Song Ying discovered that the family next door, Wang Yong, had dug a hole in the yard where they lived in order to facilitate drainage in their own home. In this way, they could drain the sewage into other people's yards on rainy days.

This made Song Ying furious. She stood on the wall and cursed: "Wang Yong, you filthy bastard, you better plug the hole for me, or I will never let you go."

Wang Yong said shamelessly: "Hey, it's just a small hole, why are you howling so early in the morning?"

Just as the two were engaged in a verbal fight, new neighbor Huang Ling, with her son and daughter: Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, came to the gate of the yard on a tricycle.

Seeing Huang Ling and her two children struggling to move furniture, Song Ying no longer cared to continue arguing with Wang Yong and rushed over to help.

"Why are you three the only ones moving? Where is Teacher Zhuang?" Song Ying asked curiously.

Huang Ling forced a smile: "He's on a business trip."

"Oh, then I'll help you move it."

As soon as Song Ying finished speaking, Qin Hao followed. Lin Dongzhe thought it was something fun and followed her: "I'll help too."

Huang Ling looked at Qin Hao and Lin Dongzhe with some confusion. She and Song Ying worked in the same factory, although not in the same workshop, but she still knew the general situation. The other party should have only one child, so how come there were two now?

Song Ying seemed to see Huang Ling's confusion, so she lowered her voice and said, "This is Huijuan's son. He will live in our house from now on."

Huang Ling suddenly realized what was happening. She had heard about Huijuan's story, and also about how her son was abused by his own uncle and almost went to the police station. However, she did not associate Song Ying with her neighbor at first. After all, there were too many people with the same name and surname in this era, and there were a lot of people with names like Jianguo and Aimin.

"You guys take the small ones and let the adults take the big ones. Be careful not to hurt yourself." Huang Ling reminded.

"Yes." Zhuang Tunan was very obedient and picked up the small one.

However, Qin Hao carried the table by himself, which scared Song Ying and Huang Ling.

"Haozi, don't be so arrogant. Put it down quickly. Let me and your Aunt Huang take it."

Qin Hao, however, carried the table all the way to Huang Ling's living room with his short legs.

"It's okay, Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, I'm very strong, this little weight is nothing."

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, his younger brother Lin Dongzhe was the first to stand up and show his support.

"Brother Hao, you are so awesome. If someone dares to bully me in the future, you beat him up for me."

Upon hearing this, Song Ying glared at Lin Dongzhe and said, "Lin Dongzhe, be honest. It's good enough that you don't bully others. Who dares to bully you?"

Huang Ling went forward to move the table, but found that even she, an adult, had difficulty lifting it. She was secretly surprised that a child who looked so thin could be so strong.

With Qin Hao's help, the move was completed quickly. Huang Ling took Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting to pull another cart. After they were done, Huang Ling specially took out some candies and gave them to Qin Hao and Lin Dongzhe.

Qin Hao took it without hesitation. Lin Dongzhe couldn't wait to peel off the sugar coating, put it in his mouth, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.

"Well, it's so sweet."

Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting also stuffed the candy into their mouths: "It's really sweet."

Children's friendship is so simple that the four of them became familiar with each other in less than an hour.

It was almost noon when Lin Wufeng came back and brought good news. The affiliated primary school agreed to let Qin Hao go to class next week.

"So, we can go to school together in the future?" Lin Dongzhe was overjoyed when he heard that Zhuang Tunan and his sister were also attending the affiliated primary school.

Huang Ling also reminded Zhuang Tunan: "Tunan, you are in the fifth grade, and your sister, Qin Hao, and Lin Dongzhe are still in the first grade. Remember to look after them when you go to and from school in the future."

"Yes, Mom, I will." Zhuang Tunan nodded obediently.

The more Song Ying looked at her neighbor Huang Ling, the more satisfied she became.

Early the next morning, Qin Hao was sent to report by Lin Wufeng. After all, it was the first day of school, and he was still worried about letting a little kid like Qin Hao go alone, even though Qin Hao repeatedly said that he could go alone.

"Haozi, then you go to class with the teacher first. I also have to go to work." Lin Wufeng walked Qin Hao out of the classroom.

"Goodbye, Uncle Lin."

As soon as the teacher led Qin Hao into the classroom, Lin Dongzhe shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother Hao, here."

"Lin Dongzhe, you better behave yourself." The teacher glared at Lin Dongzhe fiercely, and then asked Qin Hao to sit in the front row, far away from Lin Dongzhe. She knew too well the destructive power of Lin Dongzhe. No child would be unaffected as long as they were around him.

Lin Dongzhe was so depressed that he kept looking at Qin Hao during class, and was asked to stand in the corner by the teacher as punishment.

It was not until the end of get out of class that Lin Dongzhe was able to regain his freedom.

All the classmates in the class were very curious about Qin Hao, the new student, and Lin Dongzhe immediately became a busybody.

"Brother Hao is amazing. The paper airplanes he folds can fly very far and can even fly back. He is also very strong. He can lift a table that is bigger than our desks in one go."

Lin Dongzhe's words were immediately questioned by his classmates.

"Humph, this is the paper airplane that Haoge folded. If you don't believe me, I'll fly it for you to see."

As Lin Dongzhe said this, he walked to the podium and threw the paper plane out with all his strength. Sure enough, the paper plane flew all the way to the last row before diving down.

This scene immediately stunned the group of little ones. Lin Dongzhe enjoyed their shocked little expressions very much and crossed his arms proudly.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you."

The result was that paper airplanes became the mainstream extracurricular activity in the class. Most students were folding paper airplanes, and some even directly tore up their textbooks and folded them.

Then the teacher found out, and the teacher was so angry that he called the culprit Lin Dongzhe to the back to stand in punishment.

In the remaining month of 1977, Qin Hao became a first-grade primary school student, going to and from school with Zhuang Tuanan and two others every day.

During this month, the scars on Qin Hao's body gradually faded, and his body gradually became a little meatier from being as thin as a bamboo pole. This also made Song Ying's reputation soar.

After all, even though she already has her own children, she can still raise an unrelated child so well, which is enough to prove that she is kind-hearted.

After New Year's Day, it was the year 1978. It rained heavily that day. Lin Wufeng and Song Ying discussed and decided to block the drainage outlet in the yard at night, and then raised the doors of the two houses with sandbags. As a result, Wang Yong's family next door suffered. He woke up early in the morning to find that his living room was flooded.

He quickly begged Lin Wufeng to clear the drain, and he went to the housing management department to ask for cement to fill the hole between the two courtyards.

Now the entire cotton mill knew that Song Ying’s family were troublemakers and should not be messed with. For several days, neighbors avoided them when they saw them.

On this day, Qin Hao was doing his homework in the yard. The first-grade homework was really boring, but he still had to pretend to be doing it. After all, he was only a first-grade student who had been in school for less than two months.

Lin Dongzhe was fishing reluctantly under his supervision.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray Zhongshan suit and black-framed glasses walked in carrying a gift.
