Lu Dongye was slightly stunned.

Because, this somewhat familiar mechanically synthesized voice really hasn't sounded for a long time.

He didn't expect that suddenly, without warning, he issued another task to himself.

It's just that Lu Dongye doesn't have the heart to think about this task at the moment.

He looked at You Xiaohu and frowned, "Your father doesn't want you to continue going to school?"

You Xiaohu didn't speak, but hung his head sadly.

Lu Dongye asked, "The important thing is that you still want to continue to go to school, right?"

This time, You Xiaohu nodded: "I don't want to be left behind by Wang Erqiang, Teacher Li said that I am a good seedling for studying, and also said that if I work hard in the future, I will definitely be able to be admitted to a good university." ”

Lu Dongye couldn't help but nod lightly.

You Xiaohu has a lively personality and strong thinking, such a child is naturally very smart.

Moreover, You Xiaohu has always been the fastest learner.

It can be said that Li Xiaoyu has no problem praising him.

Of course, Lu Dongye also hoped that he could complete his studies, so he said: "As long as you still want to go to school, in this way, you go back to class, your father will leave it to me, and I will persuade him." ”

You Xiaohu suddenly smiled, nodded heavily, and left.

In the office, Lu Dongye was finally the only one left.

He couldn't help but think about the mechanically synthesized voice just now.

"Let three children who are promoted to junior high school be admitted to junior high school with the test scores of the top 20?"

Lu Dongye muttered in a low voice, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Since this task is definitely "three", then You Xiaohu will definitely not be able to get around.

The top 20 test results, that is, the three children, must be promoted to junior high school and enter the top 20 rankings.

Finally, there is also a "admission to junior high school".

Lu Dongye pondered that the meaning of this task was that all three children had to go to school, and they couldn't just complete the task after the exam.

In other words, no matter what, it is necessary to convince You Xiaohu's father.

Lu Dongye couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Whether a child can go to school or not, the final decision is still on the parents.

At least, that's still the case in the current environment.

Thinking of this, Lu Dongye immediately got up and left the office.

......

In the school that is lively every day, there is a corner that is always quiet.

That's where the old headmaster lived.

The old principal, who has dedicated his life to the cause of education, has never married.

In his later years, he was just a small bungalow.

The bungalow has a small courtyard with an apricot tree planted in the yard.

Now is the time of year, when the apricots are ripe.

The green leaves are fluttering and swaying in the wind, and the air is filled with the faint sweetness of apricots.

When Lu Dongye came here, he found the old principal sitting on a recliner under the apricot tree.

Holding on to the crutches, he lowered his head and stared at the little chicks running happily on the ground in the yard.

The old principal's life after retirement is so comfortable and easy.

He would plant some flowers and plants in the yard and raise some chickens to pass the rest of the time.

"Old Headmaster, are these chicks newly hatched from hens?"

Lu Dongye approached the old principal's side with light feet.

The old headmaster's old face was full of satisfied smiles.

Just looked at the chickens running all over the ground stupidly, and smiled: "Hmm...... Winter nights, look, how young they are!"

"yes, they're young and vibrant. ”

Lu Dongye couldn't help but look at the corner of the hen that was about to die of old age.

The old headmaster had kept the hen as a pet and had never intended to eat it.

In this way, the old hen lived smoothly to old age.

It has obviously lost its chicken-like vitality for a long time, and rarely moves when it lies on the ground.

But their eyes have been paying attention to the chicks who are wandering not far away.

Lu Dongye couldn't help but sigh: "Even if the old ones can't walk anymore, the hens still care about the chicks." ”

The old principal chuckled, and finally raised his head to look at Lu Dongye: "Winter night, is there something you have encountered that can't be solved?"

"There are some things that I still have to come to you for advice. ”

Lu Dongye didn't hide it, but he suddenly changed his words and said, "I'll talk about this later, the apricots are ripe, what a waste it is to hang on the tree." ”

As he spoke, Lu Dongye licked his lips, came to the root of the tree, and climbed the tree with a slight jump.

With his current strength and agility, he can actually pick a lot of apricots with a slight leap.

However, Lu Dongye still climbed the tree according to the old principal's memory, with that clumsy appearance.

Immediately caused the old principal to laugh: "Hahaha, you are still the same as when you were a child on winter nights, you love to eat apricots so much." ”

Do you really love apricots?

Lu Dongye actually didn't think so.

This apricot tree existed as long as he could remember.

When he was a child, he would climb up like this almost every year to pick some apricots.

In fact, every time he climbed the tree in previous years, he wanted to be simple and let the old principal taste how sweet the apricots he planted with his own hands were.

After all, the old headmaster is too old to crawl, and he has long been unable to pick apricots.

This year, he still climbs trees like this, and Lu Dongye is more than a kind of reminiscence of the past.

Since taking over the school, one thing after another has followed.

Lu Dong was busy at night, and there was rarely a time when he could really relax.

Only in front of the old principal, Lu Dongye would feel that he was still a child.

You can relax and enjoy the fun of childhood.

"Oh, be careful, don't fall off!"

As in his memory, the old headmaster looked up under the tree with concern, for fear that he would accidentally fall down.

jumped off smoothly, and Lu Dongye had already grabbed a large handful of apricots in his hand.

I couldn't wait to stuff one into my mouth, and couldn't help grinning: "Wow! It's still so sweet!

After that, just like when he was a child, he wiped the apricots on his body and handed them directly to the old principal.

The old principal, as always, took the apricot and took a bite, with a brief feeling of satisfaction on his face.

"Sweet!"

The old headmaster chewed this for a long time, and then threw the remaining apricots towards the old hen.

He also smiled and said: "I always feel that I haven't grown up yet, so why can't I bite apricots when I'm old." ”

Lu Dongye's heart was a little sour, because he could already understand the old principal's mood.

When I wake up every day, there are all kinds of things waiting for me to do.

Day after day, year after year.

It is never rare to have a chance to rest, and it is rare to have a quiet and precipitating inner time.

Busy life always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, I suddenly realize ......

It seems that he has not grown yet, and he is already old.

Lu Dongye smiled and peeled the skin of an apricot, and then handed it to the old principal again: "Old principal, it's easy to bite if you don't have the skin, you can taste it again." ”

The old principal took it with a smile, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

He then sat back down on the recliner and shoved the rest of the pill into his mouth.

He couldn't figure out what he said, "Hmm...... Just like you ate candy when you were a kid, put it in your mouth and melt it slowly!!"

Lu Dongye couldn't help but laugh too.

He sat on the ground as he did when he was a child, in front of the old headmaster.

He put a large pile of fruit in his hand in front of his body, and said while eating: "Old principal, just now, I encountered a puzzle. ”
