Volume 1 Chapter 23 The Silk Flower and the Big Tree

In the past six months, the person who has rescued him from danger again and again must be Mr. Meng. But this time something so big happened, and Mr. Meng was late. When she arrived at the hospital, it was already the morning of the third day of the first lunar month.

Tong Tong looked forward to it for a long time, thinking that Teacher Meng was ignoring him, but Teacher Meng magically appeared beside him, which made him very surprised and inexplicably aggrieved. Teacher Meng ran out of breath and hurriedly said: "I should have come earlier, but I went to the countryside and wanted to come back when I received the call, but the transportation was inconvenient, and I was delayed until now, I'm sorry!"

"For ...... Why do you say I'm sorry? I'm sorry for you. ”

Teacher Meng explained, "I heard your father say that when you were asleep, you kept saying, 'Teacher Meng, I'm sorry'. It seems that you still care about my opinion in this fight. You trust me so much, but I have only delayed my arrival until now, and you have suffered a lot of grievances, of course I have to apologize to you! In addition, I am resolutely on your side in this fight. If someone wants to fire you, then I will not allow it. You must know that the teacher still has some skills. ”

She can speak softly or sonorously, Tong Tong couldn't hold on at all, lying on the bed crying and laughing, her expression was extremely weird. He covered his face and cried intermittently: "But I'm causing you trouble again...... It's a shame for me to be like this......"

Teacher Meng didn't laugh at him, but patiently listened to him cry, until the crying became weaker, she smiled and said, "Didn't you say it, you can treat me as a sister, cry in front of my sister, there is no shame." ”

"You don't think I'm too weak?"

"Why? You're strong. ”

......

Teacher Meng is really a god, and he can always make him feel the urge to cry with a word.

The reason why Mr. Meng came late was because he had returned to his hometown. Every Spring Festival, she would go to see her father and spend a few days in the ancestral house. Tong Tong innocently asked: "Won't you just take your father to Hong Kong City? ”

"He's long gone. ”

“......!”

"He was buried in the ancestral grave of his hometown, so when the Spring Festival came, I would go back to accompany him, talk to him, and tell him what had happened in the past year. ”

Doesn't it mean that her family is illustrious? Could it be that her mother is also very capable? Wait, you should comfort her first! Tong Tong hesitated, but Teacher Meng smiled softly and said, "Okay, don't sympathize with me, my father has been gone for so many years, and I am not so sad." It's just that during the New Year's holidays, I can't help but think of him. ”

Ms. Meng's father died in an accident while working abroad, and she said that her father was a sports enthusiast and had a diving certificate, but he had an accident while snorkeling. She had just entered high school that year, and she had always regarded her father as a beacon of life, but when her father died suddenly, her world suddenly collapsed, and she took a break from school for half a year before she gradually came out of the haze.

Tong Tong still remembers that Mr. Meng wanted to be admitted to Peking University, but he was not admitted. She laughed at herself for not having a good brain, no talent, and like to "waste" energy on some small things, so she didn't pass the exam. But now it seems that she is not smart enough, nor is she not focused enough, but because she can't bear her father's departure and has been delayed for too long.

Such a beautiful girl, if she is soft and weak, crying and crying, will definitely win the love of many people. But she didn't say a word, always smiling casually, like a carefully protected flower that had never been beaten by the wind and rain, confident and high-spirited.

Geng Xiaoqing hated Teacher Meng's sense of superiority, and always said with disdain that she was born rich and noble, and did not understand the suffering of the world. If she knew Teacher Meng's story, would she still think like this?

Tong Tong was stunned, and Teacher Meng joked: "What's the matter?

"Life is hard. Tong Tong was like a little monk who suddenly opened his mind, and his tone became unfathomable: "I also want to be like you, I can't show the pain too obviously." ”

Teacher Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, you're still young, let's cultivate this mind when you grow up! You must know that throughout high school, I was as sentimental as Lin Daiyu." It wasn't until I went to university, took philosophy and psychology, and made good friends for the rest of my life that I gradually forgot about my pain. However, the pain of life is endless, but the older you get, the stronger your ability to endure it. ”

At this time, Teacher Meng's eyes were full of "strong", which made Tong Tong feel very distressed, and he wanted to share the pain for her, but Teacher Meng smiled again and said, "You are really still a child, wait until you go to college." ”

"Teacher Meng......"

"Huh?"

"Teacher Meng, although I am younger than you, I am really not a child anymore. Tong Tong said seriously: "From childhood to adulthood, every holiday, I have to help my grandmother pick up bottles and collect waste cartons, and my classmates laugh at me, saying that I have a smell on my body." Not only that, but even the teachers took the lead in isolating me, saying that I grew up in a garbage heap. ”

“......”

"When I went to high school, my family's situation was even more difficult, and Xiaoqing's situation was even more difficult than mine, so I had to earn more money to help her live. I went to work in the shipyard with Lao Tong, in the summer, the workshop was hot and died, those workers heard that I was practicing martial arts, they bullied me with bad intentions, I was a stevedore alone, my legs were swollen on the first day, my arms were worn out, and no one helped me. Really, I haven't been so tired when Master taught me martial arts. Later, I asked them to change my shift, but they refused to change it, and said that I would have to drop out of school sooner or later to work, so I should get familiar with it first. I've always been bullied, Lao Tong knows, but he has never helped me, I face it myself. ”

But when he called him "little child", he said so much. Teacher Meng was distressed, so he said, "Since you are not a child, then I will share a little secret with you." But you have to make sure that you don't tell anyone. ”

"I can swear to God!"

"People say I'm rich or something, don't believe it, it's not me who has money. The house I live in is my father's inheritance, and I don't have anything else. ”

"......" said that, Mr. Meng is really like a rich flower in the world!

"Also, I have a twin sister, did you know before?"

Tong Tong shook his head: "She should be as beautiful as you, right?"

This time it was Teacher Meng's turn to shake her head, and she said with a wry smile: "To be exact, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, but I don't have a good relationship with her." ”

“...... Why? Doesn't it mean that the twins have the same mind?"

"It's not all like that...... She wanted to make a silk flower since she was a child, and my goal was to make a standalone tree. Originally, with the protection of my parents, we were safe and sound, and we were even sisters who had a good relationship, but after my father's death, the conflict increased day by day, and finally when I was in college, we had a big fight, and since then, the relationship has not been very good. ”

If Tong Tong had come into contact with romance novels earlier, he would probably have known the famous "Silk Flower", and he would have known what kind of person Mr. Meng's sister might have. My sister wants to survive by clinging to others, and Mr. Meng insists on being self-reliant and self-reliant, probably because she is extremely disappointed in her sister, so they fell out!

But Tong Tong didn't understand this, and he didn't want to appear too ignorant, so he asked stupidly, "Then what is your sister doing now?

"My mother is a very weak person, she has no opinions, and she can't mediate the conflict between me and my sister. As for my sister...... Forget it, that's ugly, so don't talk about it. ”

She just said that the rich one was not her, and the implication was her twin sister? But Teacher Meng didn't want to say it, so Tong Tong didn't ask.

Teacher Meng poured him a glass of water and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the unpleasant ones, let's tell you something happy! Although my father died early, he left me a large spiritual legacy, and my family has endless books. My father's hometown is around the port city, before he died, he renovated the ancestral house left by his grandparents, and changed a few dilapidated houses into spacious and bright courtyards, in fact, the house has not been renovated, he can't wait to make a lot of bookshelves, and put all the books left in his hometown, just like our school library. That summer, I helped him sort out the books in his hometown, some of which were too old and had to be dried in the sun. Although he is a law student, he can also organize books for later reference. That summer vacation was the happiest time I can remember, I was admitted to the experimental class of No. 2 Middle School, and I did something very meaningful with my father...... It was so happy at that time, without a hint of tragedy......"

She talked about the past, just as a beam of sunlight shone in, the sun danced on her soft hair, her eyelashes jumped and jumped, she was so gentle and beautiful.

"My dad said that when he came back from abroad, he would decorate all the ancestral houses, install floor heating in every room, and build a few sturdy clay kangs...... Because he has a bad waist, it will be very comfortable to sleep on a hot earthen kang...... He fantasized about living a quiet life there, where he could concentrate on reading and writing, but unfortunately, his setting for the future was too beautiful, and when tragedy came, we couldn't accept it even more. ”

“...... So, is your old house renovated?"

"No...... Most of my dad's legacy is in my mom's hands, and she doesn't bother to do these things, so I have to work hard to make money and fulfill my dad's wishes. ”

Tong Tong blurted out: "I'm with you." ”

Teacher Meng snorted and laughed, this time she didn't call him "child", nor did she blame him for his incomprehensible abruptness, probably acquiescing to his wishes? Who knew that Teacher Meng continued: "You should be admitted to the university first, and then you will be admitted to the university, which is the premise of all your wishes." ”

"I can pass the test, I will definitely pass the test! I ......"

Before Tong Tong could show his ambitions, Zhang Yongming pushed the door in again, and the goodwill that Tong Tong had built up quickly collapsed. When Zhang Yongming saw Teacher Meng, he asked in surprise, "Xingyun, why are you here?"

"I'm Xinghe. ”

Teacher Meng replied very plainly, I must have seen too many misunderstandings of this kind! Tong Tong was still surprised by the relationship between the two, but Teacher Meng said: "Tong Tong, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something first, you have to talk in advance." ”
