Pu Tongren held the jade pendant with a straight character in the middle in his hand, nodded heavily and said: "I will, I will live a good life, if one day I encounter unsolvable trouble, where will I find you then?"

"At that point, there will naturally be a way. The mysterious old man said with a smile.

Pu Tongren lowered his head to comprehend the meaning, and when he looked up, he found that the mysterious old man had disappeared. Looking at the orthography jade pendant in the palm of his hand, Pu Tongren felt that all this seemed to be an illusion, but it felt like it had really happened, and he pondered for a long time until the sound of his mother coming back came from outside.

Pu Tongren hurriedly went to open the door, and his mother came in and said, "Ah Ren, are you hungry, you didn't buy vegetables after working overtime today, why don't you eat some noodles." ”

"Mom, I've eaten, a classmate invited me to eat today, you work very hard, let's rest first." Pu Tongren said to his mother.

Pu Tongren's mother was a little strange, and asked Pu Tongren which classmate he was, Pu Tongren just said a few perfunctory words casually, and didn't ask what the situation was, so his mother told Pu Tongren to rest early, Pu Tongren was lying on the bed, holding the jade pendant in his hand, he was both curious and puzzled, he was afraid that everything that happened today was fake, and when he woke up, everything was just a dream.

When Pu Tongren woke up the next day, he found that the orthography jade pendant was still in his hand, but this jade pendant didn't seem to have changed much in his life immediately, and everything seemed to be the same as before.

He is just an ordinary child, the only characteristic is a bit mediocre, in his opinion, there has never been any righteous sacredness in this world, there are no evil devils, just a group of poor people who are powerless to struggle.

People who know Pu Tongren will say that he is an honest child, and when his mother introduces him to the people around her, she will always say: "This child is too honest to do opportunistic things." ”

Pu Tongren didn't understand why an honest child would be his own persona, sometimes Pu Tongren would hate others to evaluate him like this, but his resistance was useless. Mother wants to make herself appear harmless and not make others resist.

This kind of label has been maintained as the character given to him by his mother, and Pu Tongren has always lived like this, and he doesn't want to change any new labels.

Pu Tongren only felt that his life was like this, but life would not be as smooth sailing as he imagined, and Pu Tongren came to the classroom early the next day to go to school, because he came very early, so there were few people from the school.

Pu Tongren put down his schoolbag, and soon saw that several classmates in front of him had come, Pu Tongren saw Xu Mingyuan in the same class also appeared, and his mother took him to the school gate, because he had polio when he was a child, and his muscles atrophied, which caused Xu Mingyuan's legs to be weak, and even basic walking was very difficult, so his mother sent him to school every day.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan come to the classroom, he let go of his mother's supporting hand, gritted his teeth and walked to his seat.

His seat was in the first row of the classroom, and the distance from the door of the classroom to his seat was no more than one meter, and the distance that ordinary people could walk in two or three steps was as insurmountable as a moat to him.

Every time Pu Tongren watched him walk to his seat with difficulty, he felt that he was not the most unfortunate person in the world, Xu Mingyuan was the one who was even more unfortunate and pitiful than himself. Compared with him, his life may be a little lucky.

Pu Tongren sat in his seat, and when he saw Xu Mingyuan turn his head to look at him, Pu Tongren smiled as if he was greeting him.

Time passed slowly, after most of the people were seated, the person sitting in front of Pu Tongren was Teacher Liu's child, as a teacher's child, his academic performance can be said to be the first echelon in the class, but his mother didn't seem to be satisfied, always put forward higher requirements for him, and always felt that the teacher's children should do better.

Pu Tongren's academic performance can only be regarded as average, and he himself doesn't have much confidence, after all, he is just an ordinary person and can't do anything too good, of course, the people around him don't have too much expectations for him, after all, he is just an ordinary person.

Soon Zhou Darong also came, he was not in good spirits, and as soon as he came, he said to Pu Tongren gratefully: "Thank you yesterday, I will treat you to snacks after school today." ”

Pu Tongren just smiled at him, and quickly said: "No need, I just saved you casually, it's not a big favor." ”

"No, my father taught me that when people are in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is to talk about righteousness, and righteousness is bigger than the sky. Zhou Darong said seriously.

Pu Tongren smiled, he knew that Zhou Darong's father was mixing in society outside, so he would naturally teach Zhou Darong these things. But are those people really angry, probably all the people who are really righteous will go to prison.

Pu Tongren is not disgusted by Zhou Darong's enthusiasm, after all, it is a good heart, which is better than those who hurt themselves. Someone who is good to himself can't make him sad.

This world always makes bad guys proud and good guys hurt, and Pu Tongren can't let these things happen in front of his eyes.

"I want two packs of spicy strips. Pu Tongren said to Zhou Darong.

The conditions of Zhou Darong's family are still much stronger than those of Putongren's family, and he soon said generously: "Okay, let's go buy it after school." ”

"Whether you buy spicy noodles or not, I'll talk about it later, you have to find a way to write your homework first, the second class today is Mr. Lei's class, if he finds out that you haven't done your homework, it's a shame. Pu Tongren reminded Zhou Darong.

Teacher Lei is their math teacher, and she is very strict with her students, and if she is caught not doing her homework, she will inevitably be punished by beating her palms.

Zhou Darong quickly went to catch up with his homework, but he didn't write any homework yesterday, so he could only find someone to borrow homework to copy everywhere.

Today's life is still the same as usual, the routine morning exercises, the morning reading class is also chattering, most of the students are chatting, and a few are serious about learning.

Teacher He, who is also the head teacher, has recently become pregnant, no one cares about their learning situation, no one supervises and manages, and the students' self-control is really limited.

Students often find it difficult to understand why learning is for themselves, and why they should take the initiative to work hard.

When we realize that the original world is not so simple, that is, the moment when it is often said that we have suddenly grown up, it is the awakening of the self and the understanding of the meaning of our life.

Children in the city face competition and pressure from an early age, and parents and teachers are by their side every day to instill the importance of learning, so it is natural to open up earlier. However, children in rural areas rarely have such experiences, and they are even more ignorant and do not understand the direction and meaning of learning.

In fact, with the merger of schools and the construction of standardized middle schools in recent years, the conditions of township middle schools have improved a lot, and the gap with the city is narrowing.

But children in the countryside are trapped in this narrow and closed world, either without dreams, or weaving unreliable dreams, and have no understanding of the outside world.

When they go out into society, their minds are not as close to the times as their parents who work in other places.

Soon came to the math class, their math teacher Mr. Lei came to the door of the classroom, the students were still playing, he heard the noisy sound in the classroom, couldn't help coughing, hearing this sound, the students suddenly quieted down, and when Mr. Lei walked on the podium, the audience was already silent, solemn.

Teacher Lei said on the podium: "Students, today we are not busy lecturing, I want to tell you something else, in fact, if nothing else, most of you still have to continue the fate of your fathers, leaving your hometown to work in the city, but you work harder at the moment, the starting point of the future is higher, you can suffer less, and you will be grateful for your efforts today." ”
