Chapter 9: Paper airplane

The bar was very dim. Although no one was in it at the moment, the smell of smoke left over the years had penetrated into the walls and filled the room.
That's weird, obviously not what ordinary cigarettes can leave ... Cheng Hao feels that holding his breath is a bit unreliable-he can't keep breathing.
When he settles in, he can participate in regular boxing matches and gain a certain reputation, he will definitely not come to such a place again.
Although Cheng Hao thought so, at this time, he still needed such a job urgently.
After entering the bar, Cheng Hao discovered that the interior of the bar was much larger than he thought, and at this moment, someone was cleaning the bar.
They cleaned up all kinds of trash, including even vomit.
The old black man who brought him in found a chair to sit down, and then he looked at Cheng Hao: "Little guy, do you know the rules for punching here?"
Cheng Hao said: "I don't know, I just know that I am short of money."
"Well, most of them come here to punch," the black man said. "I can tell you the rules here. My name is George. What's your name?"
Cheng Hao had some speculation before, but now he has finally confirmed that this black man is the owner of the bar, Old George.
Cheng Hao said: "My name is Cheng Hao, you can call me Cheng."
"Okay, then I'll call you Cheng." Old George said, and while smoking, he told Cheng Hao the rules of punching here.
In regular boxing matches, you need to weigh before the match, and then you will compete with people of similar weight.
But in such places, the regulations are not so strict.
However, the boxing matches here, like regular matches, cannot attack the opponent's back of the head, throat, and crotch. After all, attacking such places can easily kill people. In this informal match, they like to go blood A little, but you don't want to kill someone.
"Here you may be fighting someone heavier than you, not a little heavier, but the one that weighs twenty kilograms. I have a doctor here, but he is not good at technology. If you are seriously injured, he may not have There are ways to help you. Also, this is not a turn-based system. You need to fight with your opponent all the time. You won when you knock him down ... "Old George said a lot.
Cheng Hao thought about it and felt that he could accept: "How is the reward calculated? You know, I need money."
Old George said: "People who come to watch the boxing match must bet! In the total amount of bet in each boxing match, 4% is taken as the revenge of the winner and 1% is taken as the loser. Pay. "
"What about the rest?" Cheng Hao asked.
Old George said, "The rest, five percent belongs to me, and ninety percent is given to the bet and the winner."
Old George is smart to do this, at least his bar will never lose money, Cheng Hao said: "I agree."
"How old are you?" Old George asked. "I need to register your information."
"Sixteen." Cheng Hao said.
"Very young." Old George glanced at Cheng Hao and asked a few more questions, such as where he lived, but Cheng Hao couldn't answer and he didn't care.
He simply registered Cheng Hao's information, and finally said: "I have matches here every Tuesday and Friday. You can come in early and I will arrange for you."
"Thank you." Cheng Hao said, "What day is it today?"
Old George said angrily: "Tuesday! Are you coming tonight?"
Cheng Hao refused: "I'm afraid it won't work today." He has an injury. It's a fatal thing to come to the competition today ... In addition, he also needs time to adjust to his brand new body.
"Then wait next time," Old George said.
"Okay." Cheng Hao answered.
Cheng Hao and Old George decided to leave this bar.
As soon as he stepped out of the bar, he met Chester.
Seeing Cheng Hao, Chester ran over immediately: "How can you do this! You left me!"
"I never promised to take you in." Cheng Hao said.
Chester was a little angry and complained constantly. Cheng Hao could not help but wave his fist: "Do you want to fist?"
Chester narrowed his neck and ran away.
Cheng Hao saw him go, and went to where Lin Yuxun lived.
The shutter door was still broken. He could try to knock it back when he waited ... Cheng Hao took out the key and was about to open the door, and saw a black man like a ball running towards him.
He didn't know much about the appearance of blacks and whites. He didn't know how to describe the blacks in front of him. It was certain that this black was really fat!
"Shit! You live with Tony now?" The fat black man asked loudly.
Hearing this voice, Cheng Hao knows who this person is-this is the landlord who played last night and this morning.
He only heard the landlord's voice at that time, and now he can clearly see what the landlord looks like.
I can see that he is doing well.
Cheng Hao said: "No, I'm his classmate. I came here to find him something, but several black people knocked on the door and I can't walk." The landlord said before that if you lived alone, you need to increase the rent ... He's here Eating in vain and living in vain is already embarrassed, and Lin Yuxun cannot afford to pay more rent.
He was penniless, could not afford the rent, and even looked forward to living here-if Lin Yuxun refused to let him stay, he would be on the streets.
The fat landlord glanced suspiciously at Cheng Hao: "Smelly boy, are you really telling me?"
"It's true! This gentleman, those black people were so abominable yesterday that they broke your door. Don't worry, I must find a way to fix it for you!"
When Cheng Hao said this, the landlord's attention was diverted, cursing the black people who hit the door, and of course he did not forget to make Cheng Hao compensation: "If it weren't for you, those black people would not come to hit my door, so You must fix the door! "
Cheng Hao repeatedly agreed.
The landlord then left with satisfaction. After seeing him leave, Cheng Hao was relieved and opened the door and entered the room.
Last night Lin Yuxun's washed clothes were placed in the outer shade, and in the bedroom inside, Danny was playing with a can pull ring.
Cheng Hao glanced and found that one of the five sandwiches he had brought back had been taken apart, but only half of it.
The child was deaf and couldn't understand himself, but Cheng Hao had nothing to do. He simply sat beside him, and then tore up the old newspaper where Lin Yuxun wrote his name yesterday and folded it with part of it. A paper airplane.
Danny didn't follow him at first, but then stared at him without blinking.
The paper plane quickly folded, Cheng Hao glanced at Danny, and threw it forward with the paper plane.
The paper plane flew out.
Danny's mouth widened slightly, but he didn't move much, just fixed his eyes firmly on the paper plane.
Cheng Hao smiled, picked up the paper plane, and threw it out again.
The paper plane flew out for a while, then circled to the ground again.
Cheng Hao picked up the paper plane again and put it in Danny's hand.
Danny stared at the paper plane for a moment and threw it forward.
He didn't know how to throw a paper plane, and the paper plane soon fell off, but he still looked happy. He got up from the bed and climbed out of the bed to pick up the paper plane.
Cheng Hao had previously worried that the child would have other problems. Now he is more at ease, and he has guessed about the child's previous performance.
When his mother died, he was accompanied by an elder brother who wasn't so close ... maybe he just behaved deliberately.
Danny is a child and a child without toys and playmates.
A paper airplane that is very common to others. He likes it very much. After playing in the bedroom for a while, he thinks the place is too small. He glanced at Cheng Hao and went to a bigger room outside to play.
Cheng Hao also followed.
He knew the child couldn't hear it, but saw him having fun and praised with a smile: "Danny is awesome!"
"It was thrown well this time!"
"you are great!"
...
Cheng Hao's parents died early in his life, and his parents were very poor before his death. Therefore, after arriving at the provincial boxing team, there was a psychological problem and a bit of inferiority.
Later, the boxing team's teacher took him to see the psychiatrist, and changed his method to praise him, and then he came out slowly.
He also found that psychological cues are very important. For example, he has always hinted that he would become the world's best boxer, and later he really won the world championship.
In those years, he successively read some psychological books. Although he has not studied systematically, he knew at least one thing, that is, children need encouragement, and love and affirmation.
Although Danny couldn't hear it, he could see it.
He stood by, followed Danny, applauded Danny, and Danny would be very happy.
Cheng Hao was right.
Although Danny played at first, he was slow and didn't laugh, but when he sat next to him and smiled and encouraged to applaud, Danny moved faster and faster.
When he threw a paper plane, he didn't just throw it flat as he did at the beginning. He even started to jump and throw.
Seeing Danny like this, Cheng Hao's clapping gesture was even greater, and he gave thumbs up to Danny: "You are great, Danny!"
After Danny threw the paper plane, he went to see Cheng Hao, and now seeing Cheng Hao like this, the corner of his mouth bent, showing a smile.
He was a half-breed, and he was very beautiful. Probably because he always stayed in the room and couldn't go out. His skin was very white and there were almost no flaws. Now this smile looks cute, like a little angel.
Cheng Hao stood up, gave him a hug, and gave him a thumbs up.
Danny was even more happy, and ran to the paper plane again with a smile.
Cheng Hao stood beside and kept giving encouragement.
Danny was running for a while, but he was breathless, obviously lacking in exercise, and gave him more encouragement to make him run well in the room!
"Danny, you are such a little angel!" Cheng Hao said. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the rolling door shaking, and at the same time saw Lin Yuxun drilled out from under the rolling door.
After he entered the house, he wanted to ventilate the air, so he didn't close the door. Anyway, the door can only be pulled up less than one meter. People outside can't see the inside, and will not reveal privacy.
Because of this, Lin Yuxun could drill in directly without using a key.
Lin Yuxun's clothes were a little dirty, and the whole person looked very tired. At this moment, he stared straight at Cheng Hao and looked dull.
Cheng Hao gave him a big smile and greeted him: "Lin Yuxun, you are back!"
"Um." Lin Yu searched, his eyes turned red.
Every time he went home before, the house was quiet and there was no sound, but today, before he arrived at the door, he heard Cheng Hao's voice, and when he came in, he saw Danny smiling so happily.
Lin Yuxun's heart was beating faster and faster, her eyes were getting sour.
When his mother was still alive, there were sounds in the house, but it was often the noise of his mother and her co-habitants, the beating and scolding of his mother by Danny, or the crying of his mother when he was drunk.
He never had such a happy voice in his home.
Lin Yuxun felt that his exhaustion was swept away, and the whole person became energetic.
Cheng Hao noticed that Lin Yuxun's eyes were red, and immediately walked over: "Is anyone bullying you? Are you all right?"
Danny was paying attention to Cheng Hao while playing. At this time, he also saw Lin Yuxun. He stopped playing paper planes and ran to Lin Yuxun, pulling Lin Yuxun's hem, looking at Lin Yuxun anxiously.
Lin Yu seeks: "I'm fine ... I just saw Danny smile so happily."
"This child is very smart." Cheng Hao laughed.
Lin Yuxun said "um".
Cheng Hao added: "You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go and pour you a glass of water."
He said, standing up and pouring water.
"No, I'll do it myself." Lin Yuxun hurriedly poured water and asked Cheng Hao: "Do you want to drink water?"
"I've had it," Cheng Hao said.
After a while, Danny stopped playing paper airplanes and looked at Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun anxiously.
Cheng Hao picked up the paper plane and gave him: "Danny, keep playing."
Danny couldn't hear the sound, but could understand the movement. He took the paper plane, smiled at Cheng Hao, and threw it out again.
Cheng Hao continued to praise.
The atmosphere in the room was different again.
Lin Yuxun looked at Danny with envy, with joy and sourness in his heart-no one had played with him before.
Cheng Hao noticed Lin Yuxun's expression. Lin Yuxun's age is about the same as those of the children who just entered the boxing team he taught before ... Cheng Hao folded a paper plane with a newspaper and handed it to Lin Yuxun: "Do you want to play?"
Lin Yuxun squeezed the paper plane and looked at Cheng Hao with a quiver.
"It's actually fun." Cheng Hao said cheekily, well, he didn't think there was anything fun about paper airplanes.
"Um." Lin Yuxun responded.
Playing paper airplanes seems very naive, but when he was naive, he never played paper airplanes ...
His father was busy working and making money every day. He said less than ten words a month and naturally would n’t take him to play. As for his companion ... After his mother left, he would go home to prepare food and do laundry, not much. Time can play, other children are not willing to play with him.
Lin Yu looked for a ghost to throw the paper plane out. After throwing it out, he was agitated, realized what he was doing, and ran to pick up the paper plane.
Then he held the paper plane and let go.
He was not young, and Cheng Hao didn't force him to play ... He praised Danny from time to time, and then folded a boat with a newspaper.
After folding, he gave Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun opened his hand and put the boat in his palm, solemnly holding it.
Cheng Hao smiled and started to fold something else. When he was in kindergarten last year, he had origami lessons. He always folded quickly and well. The teacher taught him to fold several things.
At that time, his family was not rich, there was nothing to play with, but there were still a lot of papers, and he repeatedly folded and played, and he would take the initiative to learn if there were any new folding methods. The last class of paper folding skills the first.
He hasn't folded things for many years, but his childhood memories are especially clear ... Cheng Hao just folded it now.
Just a paper boat, he will fold four different kinds, thousands of paper cranes, flowers, turtles and so on, and he even folds a gold ingot.
When his mother died, he and his relatives guarded the spirit, and when he was empty, he followed them to learn how to fold ingots. As a result, he also learned three different ingot folds ...
That newspaper was ripped apart by Cheng Hao, folded a lot, and finally gave a love to Danny-after more and more things he folded, Danny stopped playing paper airplanes and ran to Look at him origami.
Receiving love, Danny smiled again.
Lin Yuxun held a paper plane in one hand and a paper boat in one hand, glanced at Danny, and went to Cheng Hao again.
Cheng Hao is really different from them, and I don't know when he will leave ...
Lin Yuxun felt that his heart and lungs seemed to be tightly held, and it was a little painful and he couldn't breathe.
At this time, Cheng Hao felt that the time was almost up: "Lin Yuxun, I have a somewhat brave request ..."
"What?" Lin Yuxun straightened his posture, a little nervous.
"I don't have a place to live for now, can I live here?" Cheng Hao asked. He is penniless and doesn't know anyone. It would be nice if he could live here.
Lin Yuxun almost jumped up, and he nodded without thinking: "Of course!"
