Chapter Twenty-Three: Open Your Heart

Lu Zhiyao lightly touched the door, showed half of his head, and quietly glanced at the head teacher's desk.

"Teacher Gu, our family Zhiyao has caused you trouble, she is a child, you can take care of it if you don't know anything," Zhao Zhixin sat at the head teacher's desk, with a look of concern and modesty.

"Where, Lu Zhiyao, I know, her grades have improved greatly this time, of course, I don't mean that she cheated on her grades, but I mainly want to ask your parents, did you find a substitute teacher for Lu during the summer vacation?" The head teacher took a disposable paper cup out of the desk drawer, took a cup of hot water for Zhao Zhixin and put it on the table in front of her.

"Yes, yes, Zhiyao's father's friend's child has just finished the college entrance examination, and you also know that Zhiyao's grades have not been ideal, but this child is not stupid, and after two months of tutoring, although our family Zhiyao has a naughty personality, she will never do anything to falsify her grades. Zhao Zhixin explained, "Don't look at Zhiyao's usual big grin, but she also has a girl's careful thoughts, and we can see that she is in a low mood when she is sad......"

"Yes, I know, classmate Lu also told me, don't worry, now she has a high credibility in the class, and everyone knows that she passed the exam with her own strength," the head teacher took out the class report card from the folder on the side and handed it to Zhao Zhixin, "This is our report card this time, classmate Lu can be said to be excellent in all aspects now, English and Chinese are still a little weak, and it is no problem to focus on it after strengthening." ”

"Really?" Zhao Zhixin took the transcript and looked at it for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly revealed, "I haven't thought about the key points of the Zhiyao entrance examination, we were very happy when we went to an ordinary university." ”

Lu Zhiyao stood at the door a little stunned, unable to believe that the person sitting next to the head teacher with kind words was her stepmother Zhao Zhixin.

Their relationship has always been very weak, although others have always thought that her family is complete in school, but in fact, only she knows the sadness of reorganizing the family, she has never had the luxury of becoming a mother-daughter relationship with her stepmother, but this scene in front of her made her a little dazed.

Perhaps this inner mustard has always been her own unilateral thought.

"Zhiyao's mother, don't worry, Lu Zhiyao is too fun-loving, once it stabilizes, it won't be the same as before, you can treat her as before, strive for a stable performance in the college entrance examination, and get into a good school. ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gu. Zhao Zhixin got up and shook hands with the head teacher, "It's not early, I won't bother you." ”

"Okay, go back and stay safe. ”

After saying goodbye to the head teacher, Zhao Zhixin left the office, and when she turned around at the door, she saw Lu Zhiyao standing at the corner of the stairs.

"Zhiyao, why are you here?" Zhao Zhixin was a little stunned.

Lu Zhiyao's eyes were a little red, she never thought about how Aunt Zhao carefully maintained her emotions and took care of her inner sensitivity, for so many years, how did she play the role of such a stepmother, Aunt Zhao's is not easy, she has never seen it willful.

"Thank you, Mom. Lu Zhiyao choked up and said.

"You...... What are you calling me?" Zhao Zhixin looked at Lu Zhiyao in disbelief, for more than ten years, she never thought that she could let Lu Zhiyao call her Mom.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I was too cautious before. Lu Zhiyao's heart knot was completely opened, and he pulled Zhao Zhixin's hand with some emotion, "Can I call your mother in the future?"

"Yes, of course. With tears in her eyes, Zhao Zhixin reached out and hugged Lu Zhiyao, took Lu Zhiyao's hand and left the school.

When the two went home, Lu Daqing was also awake, in order to atone for his sins, he prepared lunch in the kitchen in a hurry, Zhao Zhiheng slept until noon, smelled the fragrance of the food and went downstairs.

"Dad, what a good day today, so rich. Zhao Zhiheng looked at the plates of dishes on the table, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to get the small crispy meat.

"You and I let go!" Lu Daqing knocked Zhao Zhiheng's hand with chopsticks, "Go wash your hands and help, your mother and your sister will be back soon, I didn't go to your sister's parent-teacher meeting today, this is a sin atonement banquet, it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Dad, you are simply a wife slave, a daughter slave, but not a son slave. Zhao Zhiheng looked up to the sky and sighed, his position in this family was simply precarious.

Taking advantage of Lu Daqing's inattention, Zhao Zhiheng still secretly ate several pieces of meat, and after eating for a long time, he suddenly slapped the table as if he remembered something, and a mouthful of meat was stuck in his throat, almost making it difficult to breathe.

"Are you saying that my mother gave my sister a parent-teacher meeting? So can my sister be willing? In case my sister's head teacher knows that my mother is not my sister's own mother, with my sister's temper ......" Zhao Zhiheng said, Lu Daqing also turned his head keenly, and both of them showed the same strange expression.

Immediately after, the door was opened, and the two men entered the door talking and laughing.

The two of them took a step back in unison, and they could stay away from the main battlefield.

"Lao Lu is cooking, just right, Yaoyao, wash your hands and prepare to eat. ”

"Okay. The two of them went to wash their hands one after the other, and Lu Daqing and Zhao Zhiheng glanced at each other in horror.

"Dad......"

"Son......

"What do we do......"

"I don't know ...... either"

"Alright, Lao Lu, let's get ready for dinner. ”

Zhao Zhixin and Lu Zhiyao wiped their hands and sat down, Lu Daqing and Zhao Zhiheng carefully served the meal and sat in their seats, silently.

"Yaoyao, if you eat this meat, your father will make the best dish of this dish. As he spoke, Zhao Zhixin took a piece of meat and put it in Lu Zhiyao's bowl.

"Well, you can eat it too," Lu Zhiyao smiled and put a piece into Zhao Zhixin's bowl.

The other two unknown people looked at each other silently, and the eyes of both of them were full of doubt and incomprehension.

"...... are you two?" Lu Daqing asked hesitantly.

"Dad, I think clearly, I've been too ignorant all these years, I've made too much trouble for you and my mother, our family has been careful because of me, fortunately, it's not too late for me to understand, you don't have to take care of my emotions carefully in the future, the family doesn't need to be like this, is it?" Lu Zhiyao said, looking up at Zhao Zhixin.

"Well, we're still far away. Zhao Zhixin smiled gently and kindly, and took chopsticks and gave another chicken wing to Lu Zhiyao.

"You are ...... Have you turned the war into a jade silk?" Lu Daqing asked weakly.

"Yes, how can we have such a small eye as you?"

Lu Daqing and Zhao Zhiheng looked at each other silently, unspeakably helpless.

After the family was harmonious, Lu Zhiyao's mood slowly improved, and his grades gradually stabilized.

The third year of high school officially began, and the new semester slowly passed by time, and everyone also entered the atmosphere of the third year of high school, and a few boys in the class who were usually noisy in the back row also quieted down and began to study the topic.

Jiang Tao never cared about the parent-teacher meeting, but after seeing his parents last time, the head teacher directly told his mother the news, his grades were already counting down, and his mother still had a glimmer of hope for him, knowing that after his grades were like this, he was almost desperate.

"You can also learn from Lu Zhiyao in that science class, she just hired someone to tutor, and in just one summer vacation, she improved by hundreds of nouns and rushed into the top ten or so in the grade. The head teacher looked at the report card, Jiang Tao was a person who didn't learn at all, he didn't have hope, but his parents kept asking, he thought about it for a long time and gave a pertinent solution.

To be honest, it is rare for people to improve by nearly 300 points in two months, it can be seen that the foundation of junior high school is already good, plus people are smart, for people like Jiang Tao, who have no foundation at all, and are even disgusted with learning, they can only rely on this method to let parents get some psychological comfort.

"Really, teacher, tell me which teacher Lu invited, and we will invite too. ”

It's not easy for parents, for the sake of their children, they can do anything, and the teacher is also a little emotional.

"Jiang Tao's parents, don't have too much hope, how students learn, the most important thing is not how the teacher is, or whether the student is willing to learn, in fact, looking for the teacher again, you better go home and have a good chat with Jiang Tao, the third year of high school, or learn a little Xi, it is also good to go to a junior college......"

The parents left the office dejectedly, but Jiang Tao suddenly found another point.

The one named Lu Zhiyao, his grades have improved so quickly, nine times out of ten he was tutored by Song Xiu, no wonder he came to him and said that he would settle Pan Siyi's grievances with him, it seems that this Lu Zhiyao is a very important person to Song Xiu.

In view of this, this Lu Zhiyao can't go to college with peace of mind.

Since he didn't plan to go to college, Lu Zhiyao couldn't go out to school with peace of mind.

In physical education class, Jiang Tao sat in the stands of the venue and smoked, and the physical education teacher looked at him from a distance, sighed, and didn't care.

In the eyes of the teacher, such a student is basically hopeless, as long as he doesn't get into trouble, they will choose to turn a blind eye.

"Brother Tao, come down with us to play football. The tall and thin man sat next to Jiang Tao and pointed to a few people playing football on the green field not far away.

"Don't kick. Jiang Tao didn't look at it, and took a puff of cigarette, "Lu Zhiyao, do you know?"

"I've heard that she is so famous in this exam that it's hard to think about it. The thin and tall man followed Jiang Tao to light a cigarette and take a puff, and asked, "What are you asking for?"

"This Lu Zhiyao, don't let her feel better. Jiang Tao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stretched out his foot and stepped on it fiercely, "Let the brothers pay attention to this point and teach her to be a good person." ”

"Brother Tao, has she offended you?" asked the tall and thin man a little puzzled.

"If you want to do it, do it, ask so much for what. Jiang Tao glanced at the tall and thin man with a displeased face, got up and walked down from the stands, and walked straight to the outside of the playground.

The tall and thin man sighed, and followed Jiang Tao out.

These people all rely on Jiang Tao to eat, and studying is a waste of time for them, and with this time, it is better to go out and collect protection money.
