There were only two people at dinner: Lin Qing and her student Yu Xin.
Lin Qing began to notice her from the online class meeting last Saturday. When the students in the class meeting that day were resting, Lin Qing browsed the answers that the students privately sent to her one by one.
Yu Xin's answer made her particularly impressed, and the 2, 3, 4, and 5 behind "1. Far Away" were all blank, and Lin Qing jokingly asked her at the time, whether this was a semi-finished product or a finished product, and she said that it was a finished product.
This answer made Lin Qing very stunned, and she didn't feel very good.
Most children of this age are like Yang Xi, they have dreams, good friends, favorite things, and maybe pets.
The answers of the students in the class include family, life, dreams, friends, and pets. Maybe each child will have some discrepancies in the order and content because of their personality differences, but only 1 was filled, and Lin Qing's intuition was not right.
Yu Xin is a student whose grades are in the upper middle and upper reaches, quiet, rarely talkative, not dazzling in the class, but studying hard. I don't have much contact with the teacher, so I guess I'm a little scared.
Lin Qing had never seen her parents, and her grandmother came to the last parent-teacher conference, and she was very kind, but she didn't look very well, her hair was all white, and her face was a little sallow. Yu Xin explained that her parents worked outside all year round and could not come back.
Lin Qing later found a classmate privately and asked Yu Xin if he had any special good friends. They all said no, Yu Xin is shy, usually doesn't talk much, doesn't pay attention to gossip, and has a good relationship with her classmates.
Lin Qing felt very sorry for her, and later asked her to answer questions from time to time in class, or praised her answer sheet beautifully in front of the whole class, hoping to make her more integrated into the class.
Lin Qing knew that she might not have any particularly good friends, but her answer was only "far away", and Lin Qing was still very stunned. At least she thought that Yu Xin would fill in her parents or grandmother, or dreams, and life.
After that class meeting, Lin Qing began to consciously observe her in class, and the sense of unease became stronger and stronger.
Yu Xin's attitude towards class and homework has always been very serious, but recently Lin Qing found that she was often distracted in class, sometimes even pale, and lay on the table after class. Not only her class, but other teachers are also sharing this situation with her.
Lin Qingyou pumped her to answer questions in class, and she stood up, hung her head, and didn't make a sound, as if the preparation was just consuming, until one of them began to stand it anymore.
Lin Qing was reluctant to embarrass her, afraid that she would be thin-skinned, so he quickly found a step for her and asked her to sit down. Later, when she saw that she was distracted, Lin Qing pulled the classmates next to her to answer questions to remind her not to be distracted. The effect is not very good.
Lin Qing had asked her privately if there was something going on at home, or if she had been unwell recently, or if she had any troubles, but she kept silent and stood in front of Lin Qing silently.
Obviously something's wrong.
Lin Qing sighed and gently pinched her shoulder, "When are you willing to say it, you can come to me at any time." ”
Today, Lin Qing is going to take Lin Diandian to Yu Xin's house to pick her up, and they have agreed to eat hot pot at Lin Qing's house in the evening.
When Lin Qing arrived in the community where Yu Xin's house was located, it was a very old building, and the property management of the community was very poor, or this kind of old-fashioned community was built too early and there was no property management.
No one collected the garbage in the community, it was scattered, and several dusty white vans were blocking the road, and Lin Qing and Lin Diandian only rubbed the side of the car. The emaciated stray cat saw the person and immediately got into the drow.
Lin Qing asked Yu Xin's opinion beforehand, if it was inconvenient at home, Lin Qing would wait for her downstairs. Yu Xin said that it was convenient, and it happened that her grandmother also wanted to talk to the teacher.
Lin Qing and Lin Diandian climbed seven floors, this house has poor lighting, it can't shine in the sun, it is a little damp, and Lin Diandian kept sneezing when he climbed the stairs.
When I entered the door, there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine floating in the air. The furniture is old, but very clean. The whole house is not very large, but Lin Qing likes it very much.
This house gives her the same feeling as Yu Xin, simple, clean and comfortable. Lin Qing got Yu Xin's permission and entered her room, which was very comfortable, and the feeling was completely different from the feeling of the community.
The room was small, with a wooden wardrobe, a bunk bed, her bed in the lower bunk, and a book on the top. On the wall there are posters of the little girl's favorite stars, and on her pink desk are post-it notes full of her words.
Lin Qing approached, and there were a lot of postcards on the table, as well as stationery and envelopes, most of which were all written. Lin Qing noticed that Yu Xin's breathing suddenly increased, so she didn't stay long, praised the room a few words, and returned to the living room with Yu Xin.
Grandma Yu Xin invited her to drink lemon tea and grabbed a handful of pecans brought by her hometown.
The old man chattered about the daily life of the old and the young, the old man was not in good health, he rarely went out, and he relied on the neighbors to help bring back the groceries in the morning. At home, she simply cooks for Yu Xin, and Yu Xin does all the housework when she comes back from school in the afternoon and evening.
Lin Qing was very surprised, there were a lot of homework assigned by the school, and many children complained that they didn't get enough sleep every day, and Yu Xin even had to do housework.
Lin Qing was a little sad, put his hand on Yu Xin's shoulder, and hugged it gently.
"What about the child's parents?"
"Alas, Shin Shin's parents have been working for many years, and they came back to play for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Her parents also want to come back, but they think that their children will go to college and have to save money. ”
Yu Xin's family's economic conditions are actually not bad, her parents will send money to the family every month, but because the family is old and young, and her grandmother is thrifty and refuses to hire someone to do housework, Yu Xin has to work harder.
Lin Qing didn't mention that Yu Xin's state was not good recently, but just chatted with the old man about family life, and learned that nothing happened to Yu Xin's family recently.
When he was about to say goodbye, Lin Qing handed the nutrition and fruits he bought to the old man, and the old man wanted to excuse himself, so Lin Qing pulled Yu Xin and ran out.
"Grandma, Shin Shin is having dinner at my house tonight. After eating, I will send her back, you can rest assured. ”
With the permission of the old man, Lin Qing was quick and quickly closed the door.
Yu Xin was a little surprised when she saw Lin Qing's movements so agile.
Lin Qing winked at her playfully, finally making the restrained girl laugh out loud.
