Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 1: Dreams Come True and a New Life Begins
Shanghai, Zhoushan Road.

In the unsigned glutinous rice dumpling and wonton shop in a Shikumen house, a man with a shaved head was wolfing down his food while his parents were staring at him, mumbling to themselves and moving in a reserved manner.

"Qingshan, we've sold our house in the county, and moved to Licheng. Don't worry, no one in Licheng knows you. Your father and I remarried during these years of waiting for you to come out. We can live a peaceful life when we go back. House and car prices have dropped a lot now. The money saved by your parents is enough to buy you a house and a car. When you get home, we'll buy you the Land Rover you like."

"Mom, I don't like Land Rover anymore."

Xu Qingshan stopped.

"You don't have to buy me a house or a car. I will look for a job when I get back. If I can't find a good one, I can start a small business or move bricks. I will take good care of you and dad."

Father Xu interrupted with a straight face: "I don't need you to take care of me. My pension is higher than your salary."

Xu Qingshan was just about to agree.

After all, ever since he could remember, Father Xu's words had never been softer than the second son's.

"Xu Xuejun! If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"Qingshan, don't listen to your dad. You can take my pension. I will support you in whatever you want to do. Just come home more often if you are not busy."

"It's okay, mom. I'll stay home with you guys and go home after work every day."

Xu Qingshan smiled gently and continued.

"You can buy a cat or a dog, and then you can have some fun raising it."

Xu's mother and Xu Qingshan talked about the future, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Without the initial restraint, Xu Qingshan started to talk more. Although he still liked to joke in his words, he was less arrogant and conceited than before, and more down-to-earth.

"Yeah, I can help with the walk."

Xu Xuejun waited for a long time before saying something, his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart.

But these words made Xu Qingshan, who had never dared to look up at his parents, look up at his father who had suddenly softened.

This sight made Xu Qingshan feel a little dazed.

Mr. Xu's temples were gray, his neck was bent forward, and he was wearing a yellowed white sweater with a tear at the collar. He looked like a hunchbacked old man.

He no longer has the vigor and vitality he had ten years ago when he slammed the table and quarreled with me. At that time, he still loved to dress like a department head.

He suppressed his sadness and looked at his mother who had been coaxing and agreeing with him.

The spots and wrinkles on her face were almost the same as my grandmother's back then, and she looked visibly more haggard. She was still wearing the 200-yuan fleece coat that I bought her nine years ago when I had money in my pocket. No matter how clean I washed it, the wear and tear from constant wear could not be removed.

All the gold, silver and jewelry that she used to like to wear were now gone, but at a glance one could see her overworked hands, which were swollen and deformed like the roots of an old tree.

In eight years, my parents seem to have aged eighteen years. They are only in their fifties, not even at retirement age, but they look as old as their elders.

Xu Qingshan still felt that he was a fucking beast.

People can be non-human, and can also not treat others as human beings, but they cannot treat their closest relatives and friends who love and care about them as non-human beings.

Prison made him repent for half his life, but it was too late before the traces of time passed.

Back then, Xu Qingshan had no way to talk to his parents. He was young and energetic, and always felt that he was oppressed and controlled by his parents: he filled out majors he didn't like when he was in school, and did a job he didn't like after graduation. His dreams were not supported, and his abilities were not affirmed.

Because of a sudden change in his family, it became a fuse. After a big quarrel with his parents, the 23-year-old Xu Qingshan left for Shanghai. He got recognition from money, but he took a crooked path and played a cat-and-mouse game: forging identities, financial fraud, and claiming to be a scam artist.

The wild and reckless young man made a lot of money in the foreign concessions.

After living a life of debauchery and self-indulgence, one becomes more arrogant and takes risks.

As the saying goes, a good swimmer will drown. Xu Qingshan meddled in other people's affairs and lost his way. He was sent to prison by a local gangster for ten years. Although Xu Qingshan reformed himself seriously and had his sentence reduced by two years, he still had to spend eight years behind bars.

During these eight years, Xu Qingshan figured out a lot of things. All the money he had saved disappeared after he was imprisoned, and the people he had helped were nowhere to be seen. Only his parents and close friends came to visit him every year.

He felt that the enemy who had oppressed him all his life was his final salvation after he fell to the bottom of the sea.

The past is hard to change, but the future can be pursued.

They say that being released from prison is like being reborn.

This time, Xu Qingshan decided to live well and take good care of his family.

"Dad, Mom, you guys take a rest first, I'm going out for a walk."

After Xu Qingshan settled his parents in a nearby hotel, he gave some instructions and left.

The street lights on the corner were dim, and Xu Qingshan quietly watched the flashing red and green lights at the intersection.

The red dot lit up, Xu Qingshan took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, the turbid air in his chest came out with the smoke. He looked at the black and white photo in his hand in the warm light, and remained silent for a long time.

That was given by Xu's mother, it was a portrait of my grandmother.

Now that he thinks about it, he has always felt guilty towards more than just one or two people.

Fortunately, he still had a backup plan before going to prison, and now he can take it out and show filial piety to his parents.

"Ok?"

Xu Qingshan looked away in confusion. He felt the ground shaking, which was unusual in the quiet night of Shanghai. Could it be that after eight years, heavy trucks could enter the city?
Suddenly, two dazzling white lights shot out, and the end of the car lights pointed directly at Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan's face suddenly changed. It seemed that eight years was not enough to make people forget him. But he had never thought that the gang would kill him. He really just wanted to live a good life with his family this time.

But the dump truck came too fast and there was no time to dodge.

Facing death, Xu Qingshan felt completely despair for the first time in his life.

He raised his hand to block the bright light, and suddenly thought of a question: Will he be smashed into a puddle? Or a ball?
The light is as bright as the scorching sun.

Xu Qingshan had a splitting headache and even forgot why he raised his hand.

"Clap!"

There was a sound behind him, and Xu Qingshan put down his hand and turned around.

Oh, someone crashed.

The bicycle fell to the side of the road, the wheel was still spinning, and it seemed that it had hit a lamp post on the side of the road. The girl lying on the ground had disheveled hair and was wearing a school uniform, and she looked like a high school girl.

Xu Qingshan glanced at the girl's white arms and slender waist.

Well, nice skin, nice figure, but... none of my business.

I didn't even consider giving her a hand. After all, that's human nature. After I helped her this time, she wouldn't help me a few more times in return.

Xu Qingshan turned around and continued to look around.

This road was very familiar. Xu Qingshan suddenly lowered his head and looked at himself. He was wearing a white school uniform with black edges and the school emblem of [Longjiang Experimental Middle School] printed on the chest. At this moment, he also felt the weight of the schoolbag behind him.

"This"

Xu Qingshan walked to the convenience store on the street in a daze, and through the semi-transparent glass, he vaguely saw himself at that moment.

With thick bangs, his hair makes his head look like a big bun, which looks very non-mainstream.

No! Come again!
Xu Qingshan pushed aside his bangs, revealing his entire face.

He is 1 meters tall, with a slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, eyebrows that fly into his temples, eyes like inky stars, and a delicate and straight nose. He looks like Jiao Enjun. There is a circle of fine hair around his mouth, and there is a gloom and vicissitudes in his eyes that are inconsistent with his age.

The person in the mirror, with peach blossom eyes, suddenly wakes up from a dream, recalling the past years.

This is the correct way to open it.

Xu Qingshan stroked his face, and the real touch told him that everything was not a dream.

Not only was he reborn, he was reborn at the age of 17.

The nightmare has not yet begun. My grandmother is still alive, my parents are still young, and my background is clean.

"Hey, handsome guy, do you want to buy something?"

The convenience store owner greeted.

Xu Qingshan glanced at the electronic clock in the store. It was Monday, August 2008, 8, 25:6 a.m.

The second day after the closing ceremony of the Imperial Capital Olympics was also the first day of high school.

"Yeah, buy it."

Xu Qingshan thought of something, walked into the convenience store, and came out quickly.

Xu Qingshan's trouser pockets bulged as he walked towards the school in his memory.
The large gilded characters "Longjiang Experimental Middle School" were engraved on the stone tablet at the school gate. Standing in front of the school gate, Xu Qingshan was reminded of his parents.

Longjiang, an 18th-tier prefecture-level city, is located in the south of Minyue Province and borders eastern Guangdong to the west.

Longjiang Experimental Middle School and the public Longjiang No. 1 Middle School are known as the twin stars of Longjiang education. The experimental school is strict, while the No. 1 Middle School is relaxed. Both schools have their own advantages and disadvantages. The experimental school has a poor foundation, advanced concepts, sufficient funds, bold teaching, and realistic rules. The No. 1 Middle School has a strong foundation, old-fashioned concepts, is generally conservative, and students are relatively free.

"The boy over there! What are you doing standing there?"

Duan Yongming, the head of the Grade 3 A section, was standing guard at the school gate. He quickly spotted Xu Qingshan, who was standing still. Xu Qingshan looked up, then walked to him leisurely, and looked at his mentor: he was wearing a white shirt and suit pants, with a square face and slicked back hair.

When Duan Yongming saw that it was Xu Qingshan, his expression relaxed.

"Xu Qingshan, what are you doing there? Why don't you go back to the classroom for morning reading and wait for the flag-raising ceremony? You need to study harder. You're already a senior in high school, so you need to hurry up."

"Good morning, Old Duan."

Xu Qingshan greeted her and wanted to hug her, but it would be disrespectful to do so in public.

Therefore, he chose to pay high tribute to his mentor.

".morning."

Duan Yongming was wondering why Xu Qingshan seemed different today. He just opened his mouth to answer, but he was stunned.

"Clap."

The flames flickered and the seven wolves stuffed in Duan Yongming's mouth were particularly eye-catching.

Duan Yongming:?

The huge school gate was originally noisy. But when the lighter sounded, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Everyone in front of the school gate stopped and their eyes stayed on the arrogant teacher and student. They were stunned, surprised, and dumbfounded.

A wisp of smoke rose from in front of Duan Yongming, just like his blood pressure, which was about to explode to the sky.

Xu Qingshan had wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately after graduation, even if he returned to the school to pay his respects to Old Duan, he couldn't find that feeling.

Well, after rebirth, people have to make up for their regrets.

"Xu Qingshan!"

Duan Yongming's face flushed, and he shouted angrily, calling him by his name. But Xu Qingshan remained motionless, smiling and sincerely admitting his fault.

"Sorry, I was too quick."

Duan Yongming spat out the seven wolves in his mouth, made a few "pah" sounds, and crushed them hard with his feet.

"If it happens again, I will make a self-reflection! Call the parents!"

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

Xu Qingshan nodded and took the initiative to hug Duan Yongming. As he continued to walk towards the senior art building amid everyone's shocked and amazed eyes, his schoolbag was pulled again.

Looking back, it was still Old Duan. Xu Qingshan blinked.

"This is it. Do you want more?"

"You he."

Duan Yongming warned himself that it was unlucky to swear on the first day of school.

"Bring it to me, you!"

Duan Yongming ruthlessly took everything out of Xu Qingshan's pocket. After confiscating everything, he glared at Xu Qingshan fiercely and let him go back to the classroom.

Looking at Xu Qingshan's back as he walked away leisurely, Duan Yongming folded the Seven Wolves and lighter in his hands, frowning and thinking.

"How come after not seeing him for a whole summer, he seems like a completely different person?"
