"Tang Xin'er" was born in a wealthy family of senior intellectuals.
My father is tall and handsome. His name is Tang Song, and he is the editor-in-chief of a well-known publishing house.
My mother has fair skin and is very beautiful. Her name is Yan Xin, an actress who is a pipa soloist in the folk orchestra.
And "Tang Xin'er" not only inherited the advantages of her parents' appearance. Her own name, Tang Xin, is made up of one character from each of her parents' names, combined together.
This undoubtedly shows that she is the product of two people's love.
Logically speaking, this should be a harmonious, happy and loving family.
Unfortunately, love is too fragile. Family happiness gradually became a mere formality soon after her parents gave birth to her.
In "Tang Xin'er's" memory, her parents often quarreled since she was very young. The focus of the conflict is that my father is too popular with women and too romantic, and he often flirts with women outside.
By the time she was six or seven years old, her parents had gone from bickering and throwing plates and bowls to violent fights.
At this time, the most profound image in her mind was that her parents were like boxers, fighting back and forth.
Fortunately, when she was eight or nine years old, this family war came to an end.
But that only ended with the compromise that his father promised never to divorce and his mother would not interfere with his mischief outside.
Because at this point, her mother found that it was really difficult to give up the title of editor-in-chief's wife and the benefits that this status brought. She really didn't dare to become a divorced woman who had lost her price and face the difficulties of life alone.
In this way, we can only compromise.
But the funny thing is that because his parents care too much about reputation, they are two people with different dreams behind closed doors at home. But when the family goes out, they have to deliberately act like they are in love.
Especially her mother, as the submissive one, cried all day long at home, but had to work extra hard to cater to her father outside and try to be a good wife and mother.
This made "Tang Xin'er" really feel sorry for her mother from the bottom of her heart.
But no one expected that this situation would reverse within a few years.
With the advent of the "movement", everyone in the cultural world is in danger. "Sugar Heart's" father also became the target of organizational censorship because of some important remarks he wrote in the past.
At this critical moment, "Tang Xin'er"'s mother, who had endured her anger for several years, reported her father. And quickly drew a line and divorced her father.
The consequences of this method of revenge are extremely serious.
As a result, her father became a prisoner. After only one year in prison, he ended his own life because he could not bear the pressure from all aspects.
On the contrary, "Tang Xin'er"'s mother is doing well. Her beauty allowed her to start a new life smoothly and form a new family with a political cadre who was several years younger than her.
It's just that the new family will also have new conflicts, that is, "Tang Xin'er"'s mother's previous marriage and her little tart.
My stepfather is not a generous person and is not kind to "Tang Xin'er". As time went by, the fake smile and fake attentiveness at the beginning soon turned into unabashed cold eyes and indifference.
And once there is a quarrel between husband and wife in this family, the stepfather will inevitably use the mother and daughter to take advantage of him. They are obviously in the "black five categories", but they enjoy the "red five categories" through his household registration. The treatment matters.
At this point, the mother is completely speechless. She would give in without a bottom line just like she did in her previous marriage, letting her stepfather gain the upper hand.
But fortunately, her mother soon became pregnant again, which greatly eased the relationship between the couple.
But on the other hand, it was the birth of this half-sister that took away the last bit of maternal love that "Tang Xin'er" could enjoy.
In the past, no matter what happened, my mother would always take extra care of "Tang Xin'er". In private, she would secretly buy her some snacks, and when her stepfather scolded her, she would try her best to say nice things.
But things are different now. The mother's thoughts were entirely focused on her second child. In her eyes, there is no eleven-year-old "sugar heart" anymore.
A child with a mother is a treasure, while a child without a mother is a piece of grass. This is absolutely true.
Since then, "Tang Xin'er"'s status in the family has completely fallen to the lowest point. Like Cinderella in the fairy tale, she became the little servant of the family. No more new clothes, no more candy.
Especially during the school closure period, she didn't even have time to relax occasionally. I can only stay at home every day and deal with overwhelming housework.
The stepfather no longer has the slightest scruples about her. Not only can he scold her at any time, he can even punish her at will by slapping and kicking her.
In fact, she was not afraid of being tired and could bear the beatings. The key was that her stepfather deliberately let her starve.
If she catches something wrong, she will be punished and not allowed to eat.
This feeling is the most painful and unbearable. Once a person has no food to eat, it is as if he has lost his soul.
Finally one day, the taste of hunger made "Tang Xin'er" completely wake up, and there was no longer a place for her in this family.
The stepfather has nothing but disgust for her existence, and the mother not only has nothing to do with her stepfather, but also seems to be a bit out of sight and out of mind towards her...
In this way, she had no love for this family and ran away.
Now that she has left home, she has chosen to wander. And wandering must have learned to steal without any teacher.
Steal the fruits transported in the car, steal the freshly steamed steamed buns, steal the piping hot steamed buns. As long as she can fill her stomach, she is not afraid of anything and dares to take anything.
As long as she didn't steal the money, she didn't feel guilty. This is a line of right and wrong that a girl foolishly thought up based on her own conscience in an era without the rule of law.
Of course, due to the initial recklessness, getting burned and beaten was inevitable. Her appearance will also be stared at by some adults with malicious intentions.
But she is smart and agile. She never trusts anyone or goes along with others. Only move around in familiar places and only in crowded places. Once you are about to make a mistake, change places immediately.
This not only allowed her to escape danger many times and narrowly. It also allowed her to gain maximum pickpocketing experience.
And she is also lucky. After only a month of wandering, she was caught on the wrist while trying to steal a beautiful woman's pastry box, but she met a noble man who completely changed her destiny.
Because that beautiful woman is "Sister Agou".
Of course, she didn't believe "Sister Agou" at first. But in the hands of "Sister Agou", she had no way to escape.
She was forcibly taken home by "Sister Agou" and brought back to the small courtyard of "Qifenglou Alley".
Of course, she won't be able to run away.
But soon, she no longer wanted to run away, but was actually afraid of leaving here. Because this place is like heaven.
After "Sister Agou" asked her about her situation, she not only bathed her, combed her hair, and cut her nails, but also bought her new clothes. The food cooked by "Aunt Bao" is not only satisfying, but also unimaginably delicious.
They all treated her like their own daughter. Even in her own home, when her parents were both there, she did not feel such family warmth.
So after just one night, she couldn't help but take the initiative to pray to "Sister Agou", "Can you let me stay? I promise not to steal anything again..."
"Of course, you are such a good girl, I won't let you suffer outside."
"Sister Agou" had a very kind attitude and agreed immediately. But what happened next was completely beyond the imagination of "Tang Xin'er".
"...However, I brought you back because I like you for daring to steal things. Do you know? Don't think stealing is bad. In my opinion, although this is not a good thing, it is not a bad thing either. . What can you do if you don’t have food to eat? Of course you have to steal. Besides, stealing can punish bad people. This is called "black eating black".
"Don't believe it. Think about it. In fact, aren't many people in the world stealing? And the more you look at decent people, the more they steal. The rich are stealing money from the poor, and the officials are stealing. Those who are stealing people's rights and writing articles want to control other people's thoughts. People who stand at the top of the world are called thieves. Doesn't this explain the problem? It's just that the methods they use are relatively subtle. "
"Think about it again, if there are no people like us in the world to "eat black people", and there are only those people's rules of the game, which is called "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps", then the poor will If you are always poor, the rich will always be rich. The world will become a pool of stagnant water, and it will not be fun. What is the point of living? We are trying to make the world more interesting. "
"Little girl, can I teach you how to steal things? Because no matter what, one day you will have to support yourself. Besides, look at how good your fingers are. They are thin, long and Your dexterity is a hundred times better than A Bao's chubby hands, which can only make soup and cook. If you don't learn this, you will waste your good hands in vain. I think we are destined, and you are the apprentice given to me by God..."
Although the little "Sugar Heart" still doesn't understand these words, even though the school books still make her think that stealing is a bad behavior. But the tenderness in "Sister Agou's" eyes at that time made her even closer to him.
For this feeling of being pampered, she couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to refuse. Even if you do something bad knowingly.
"I will learn, and I will study hard. Then can I call you mom from now on?"
"Ha, it's not impossible, but I don't want to hear people call me mom. It looks so old-fashioned. A Bao is my goddaughter, and I won't let her be called that. I think, why not let A Bao do it? Your mother, anyway, her daughter in Shanghai is about the same age as you..."
"Ah...this aunt is your daughter...how could it be? You...you are so young..."
"Ha, little girl, you can talk, you are polite, and you are so pretty. I really like you, so I will reward you with a piece of chocolate candy."
"Well, thank you. But...then...how should I call you?"
"Hi, call me Master. By the way, you can also call me 'Sister Agou'. You must remember, 'Sister Agou' will never grow old..."
With this exchange, "Sister Agou" became a relative of "Tang Xin'er" and passed on all his skills to her. Let her become the new descendant of the "Jinxian" thieves gang.
Similarly, "Sister Agou"'s playful look with a smile and a wink at that time will always be remembered in "Tang Xin'er"'s heart.
