Chapter 67: The Toss Continues
At night, the rain was so heavy that the rustle of fallen leaves could be heard in the dormitory.
Two lines of crystal tears slowly dripped down the glass, fell to the ground, splashed into my heart, and caused layers of ripples. The corners of the air-dried eyes still drip two drops from time to time, intermittently, and the drops tinkle in the deep night. When I woke up in the morning, I didn't know if it was rain or tears, which wet my clothes. A faint fragrance spreads along the pane, into the waking organs, expanding and contracting—spreading, not only the fragrance of the earth, but also the fragrance of withered flowers.
"Ghost Brother" went out to see the weather - the rain had stopped, the fog was foggy, and red clouds had appeared in the east. He walked towards the playground, hoping to dissolve yesterday's depression by running and exhaustion, when he saw a crazy figure, shouting as he ran, a figure that seemed to be competing with himself.
When she passed by Teacher Zhang's dormitory when she came back, she was walking out of the round door, and the two happened to meet her. Teacher Zhang glanced at him, smiled and said: "Young man, your spirit is not high, and you were beaten by frost early in the morning!" "Brother Ghost" was like a family dog, shaking the sweat on his head, and the wet clothes, and said with a smile: Run fast, and run a few more laps!
Teacher Zhang giggled and said: It seems that you have really grown up, and you can hide things in your heart - but your face has betrayed you, and it is all written on your face! After listening to this, the "ghost brother" rubbed his sweaty face with both hands, and said as easily as possible: You can see this, Teacher Zhang!
Teacher Zhang sneered and said disdainfully: Brother Ghost, remind you, know what your main task is, and advise you a few more words, when everyone believes in you, you don't let down everyone's off-plan housing for you; in addition, believe in yourself, don't be blind, let some things go naturally!
"Brother Ghost" obviously felt that there was something in Mr. Zhang's words, and he basically understood the first half, but he still didn't understand the second half of the sentence, he just replied politely: I understand - Mr. Zhang, I know! Mr. Zhang stopped, looked at "Brother Ghost" for a while, and said: You are now grown up, you make your own decisions, don't leave regrets for yourself in the future, but you must distinguish the priorities, don't be confused - okay, hurry up and wash it!
"Brother Ghost" looked at Teacher Zhang with a frown, smiled wryly, and hurriedly ran to the dormitory. As he rounded the wall of the water feature, the familiar figure somehow made his heart tremble—wrapped in thick clothes to keep out the cold, leaning over and rubbing his knees, his hair lifted by the wind on his head—piercing his body like thorns, teasing his nose and suddenly sore; he still held back, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurried to meet it.
"Brother Ghost" shouted softly: "Dad—why didn't I touch you in the playground!" Liu Jianshe hurriedly removed his hand on his knee and said with a smile: I saw you, and I didn't disturb you! After speaking, he handed him a cloth bag, stuffed a bag of scallion pancakes, and said: It's cold, drink some hot water when you eat - I have to leave quickly!
"Brother Ghost" looked at Liu Jianshe and stepped on the motorcycle, and said: It's cold, don't ride a motorcycle, let my brother-in-law pick you up, and it won't affect him to make money -- can your legs stand it? Liu Jianshe smiled embarrassedly and said: What are you doing to trouble your brother-in-law, you're busy -- you can still ride for two days recently, and when it's really cold, the work should stop! After speaking, he waved his hand, and he walked away on the uneven road.
At that moment, looking at Liu Jianjian's distant figure, carrying the slightly hot and fragrant scallion pancake, a warm current rose from the bottom of his heart, gushing in the blood vessels everywhere, running through the whole body, and the depression in his heart seemed to be washed away;
When the final exam was approaching, "Ghost Brother" took advantage of the weekend break to do last year's science high school examination papers in accordance with the exam time and requirements, and checked it again with the reference answers, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent, leaning in front of the window of the warm sun, happily humming the theme song of "Huanzhu Gege".
With the return of Macao and the approaching millennium, when the "ghost brother" was still racking his brains in the bookstore and looking at all kinds of speculations about the "millennium bug" in panic, the final exam came as scheduled. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood". When the school was once again alone in the third year of high school, the scores and rankings of the final exam had been announced, and the "ghost brother" was still sitting calmly by the window basking in the sun, disdainful and deaf to those sighs and sighs.
When Xiaojun was showing off himself, he rushed to the "ghost brother" with a few classmates, and said arrogantly: This is my brother, Liu Guixian, the third place in the whole grade! "Ghost brother" ignored him, holding the single player in his hand, wearing headphones, tilting his head, leaning on the table, and basking in the sun comfortably.
When the bell rings at midnight, the Spring Festival of the millennium is coming, except for the age of a year older, people find that there is nothing unusual, but also in the happy reunion and happiness, "ghost brother" and many of its senior high school students have entered the school, began endless make-up classes, review, and break the waves in the sea of questions.
Under the urging of Zheng Lijuan and Liu Jianshe many times, "Brother Ghost" walked to Teacher Zhang's dormitory in a daze, stood at the door and called twice, and then heard a response: Brother Ghost - it's Brother Ghost - come in - "Brother Ghost" opened the curtain and walked in, the room was warm, a smell of honeycomb coal mixed with the smell of fat powder, and a faint fragrance peeled out of the mixed gas.
Teacher Zhang crawled in a pile of test papers with glasses, glanced over the frame of the glasses, glanced at the "ghost brother", and said: Sit down first - Zhang Xuemei saw him, pointed to the chair with a smile, and motioned for him to sit down. "Brother Ghost" looked at Zhang Xuemei with a slight smile, and asked softly: If you don't stay at home for a day, what does it mean to stay at school? Zhang Xuemei glanced at Teacher Zhang alertly, and said: You Teacher Zhang all take the school as your home, and you are not at home every day, and I am bored at home, so I might as well come and accompany her!
Teacher Zhang took off his glasses, put them on the roll, and said in an angry and complaining tone: Who uses you to accompany you, boring is boring, don't say it so high-sounding! Zhang Xuemei looked at the "ghost brother" and stuck out her tongue, looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that Mr. Zhang was already busy, he turned around, and "Ghost Brother" said to Mr. Zhang in a sneering manner: My father and my mother have said that the New Year, I have to make a special trip to pay you a New Year's greeting!
Teacher Zhang smiled happily and said: "Okay-good-good-I should have gone to pay a New Year's greeting to Sister Juan, but you have started to make up classes again, and you don't even have time to do it when you are busy!" Zhang Xuemei sneered and said: It's all lip service! Teacher Zhang said angrily: Dead woman, shut up! Zhang Xuemei made a grimace at the "ghost brother" and sat on the edge of the bed, Teacher Zhang continued: I said to talk to you a year ago, I didn't make time for a holiday, and the exam results in the science class are good, keep up the good work!
"Brother Ghost" "Oh-" snorted, and suddenly remembered something and said: Teacher Zhang, I was about to discuss with you, I want to go back to the liberal arts class to repeat?" "Ah-" Teacher Zhang and Zhang Xuemei both agreed, and shouted in surprise, Zhang Xuemei said angrily: Half a year has passed, what are you still tossing, is it possible that you are still preparing to come back for another year! Teacher Zhang glared at her, owed her body, and asked: What do you think?
"Brother Ghost" smiled and said seriously: I have proven myself, this is one; second, when I chose a subject in the second year of high school, the reason why I didn't choose science was that I felt that it was all cold numbers and symbols, unlike the liberal arts, which are full of warmth and coldness in the world, all kinds of flavors in the world, and the vicissitudes of history-
Zhang Xuemei interjected and said: Fallacies are all your own fallacies! Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world! After listening to this, Teacher Zhang sighed and said earnestly: This matter is very simple for me, I only need to say to the head teacher of the liberal arts repeater class, but for yourself, you have to think about it well, which can determine your future employment and future!
"Brother Ghost" smiled and said: In my opinion, whether it is a career or employment, liberal arts can be broader, and I have done the exam papers of every liberal arts class last semester, so I don't have to be bad at science, I have to get up from where I fall, and going to the liberal arts class is even more comfortable for me - I have decided, Mr. Zhang, then I have to trouble you!
Teacher Zhang looked at the decision to make up his mind, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Brother Ghost" said: Okay-then you will go to the liberal arts class tomorrow, I believe you! "Brother Ghost" laughed happily and said goodbye to Teacher Zhang.
