At night, the night sky is as dark as ink.

In the whole school, only the classrooms of the third and fifth classes of junior high school are lit up.

In the quiet classroom, the burning stove makes a "sizzling" sound from time to time, and on the seats, students bow their heads one by one, looking intently at the books and doing problems.

Zhang Dongming sat on the podium, looking at the students studying seriously with empty eyes, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking about something.

Evening self-study is from 6:15 to 9:00, divided into two sessions, the first period is one hour, the second period is one and a half hours, and the rest is 15 minutes in between.

Zhang Dongming looked at the time, it was time to rest.

This is different from the usual end of class, and it is also different from the evening self-study class of the city school.

In addition to the classroom, the whole school is quiet and dark, and a few students are classroom activities, at most go to the door of the classroom to walk around twice, and they don't dare to go to other places where it is too dark, and Zhang Dongming will not let them.

Zhao Xiaoli and Qi Lili were going to the toilet, and Zhang Dongming led them.

The main reason is that the toilet is on the west side of the school, and it has to wear two rows of houses and walk through the playground, although Zhang Dongming sent a flashlight to each student, but except for Bai Dongsheng, the other students still didn't dare.

Of course, even if the students dare, Zhang Dongming would not let the students go by themselves, he was not at ease, so no matter which student wanted to go to the toilet during the evening self-study, he would lead it.

Come back from self-study in the evening.

Westinghouse, Zhao Xiaoli, Qi Lili, and the four girls were chattering; Eastinghouse, Bai Dongsheng was giving Ma Hongxu a lecture, Bai Dongsheng was talking seriously, and Ma Hongxu was listening more seriously.

Zhang Dongming's words, boiling water in the outhouse.

Every night when he came back from self-study, Zhang Dongming would boil half a pot of hot water to wash the hair and feet of several students.

Just after boiling the water, the phone rang.

Zhang Dongming looked at it, the unfamiliar number was the landline number in the county.

Zhang Dongming: "Hey. ”

The other end of the phone: "Teacher, I'm Lu Ye." ”

Zhang Dongming was not surprised, when Lu Ye left, he specially gave Lu Ye his mobile phone number, saying that he would call him if there was anything.

At this time, the third junior high school should have just finished self-study at night, and it was quite noisy on the phone.

glanced at Zhao Xiaoli, who came out with a basin to wash her hair, Zhang Dongming came to the yard with his mobile phone.

Zhang Dongming: "What happened in the past two months?"

Lu Ye: "It's okay. ”

Zhang Dongming: "Well, it's good to get used to it, how about learning, can you keep up?"

Lu Ye: "It's a bit of a struggle, the students here are too fierce." ”

Zhang Dongming: "Hehe, it's nothing, they just have a good foundation, you have been studying since the second year of junior high school now, you didn't have any foundation before, it must be hard to learn, don't worry, just take your time." ”

Lu Ye: "Hmm. ”

Zhang Dongming: "How are these two monthly exams?"

Lu Ye: "Last time I was the second from the bottom of the class, this time I rose 8 places, 59th. ”

Zhang Dongming: "Awesome, it's only been two months, according to this momentum, the teacher dares to guarantee that by this time in the coming year, you will definitely be the top ten in your class, the lowest." ”

Lu Ye: "Hey, it's too strict here. ”

Zhang Dongming: "Normal, the schools in the city are definitely different from ours, especially the key schools like the third junior high school, it's good to get used to it slowly." ”

Lu Ye: "It's not interesting anyway. ”

Zhang Dongming: "We're too loose here, you haven't been there for a long time and haven't gotten used to it......"

On the phone, Lu Ye chatted with Zhang Dongming.

Basically, Zhang Dongming was talking, and Lu Ye followed him to answer.

If Zhang Dongming didn't take the initiative to speak, Lu Ye would also squeak, and then he wouldn't hang up the phone.

Lu Ye: "Teacher, I'm hanging, it's time to close the dormitory." ”

Zhang Dongming: "Tomorrow Sunday, I just happened to go to the county for some business, and I will go to the school to see you when the time comes." ”

Lu Ye: "Then I'll ask the teacher for a leave tomorrow, and the school won't let me go out without a fake note." ”

Zhang Dongming: "Okay." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dongming stood in the courtyard for a while.

He still knows Lu Ye well, this student is actually quite arrogant, and he won't call him if he has nothing to do.

Although Lu Ye didn't say anything on the phone just now, Zhang Dongming knew that Lu Ye must be struggling in his heart now, he couldn't hold on anymore, and he might not even want to study in the third junior high school and want to come back.

Normal, this is what Zhang Dongming had expected a long time ago.

For Lu Ye, when he transferred to the third junior high school, he would definitely encounter great difficulties.

First, there is a huge environmental contrast between the third junior high school and Beishan Township Middle School.

The second is the unfamiliarity and resistance to the new environment.

The third is the subversive change from not learning at all to studying hard.

Fourth, the heavy pressure on the psychological back.

If only one or two of them are fine, but the four points add up, the difficulties and challenges that need to be faced in this are not something that every junior high school student can adapt to and bear.

Lu Ye was able to hold on for two months, which actually surprised Zhang Dongming a little.

The next morning, the four girls all rode home, and they went home every Sunday, some in the afternoon, and some the next morning.

Bai Dongsheng and Ma Hongxu, Ma Hongxu went home last Sunday, and the rest went to the game hall. Bai Dongsheng didn't go back once, he read and studied here.

Nine-o'clock bus.

By the time Zhang Dongming arrived at the third junior high school, it was already past 11:40, and the school would be out in about ten minutes.

There are many parents who come to see their children, in the winter, all of them have big bags and small bags, pretending to be either wearing or eating, blocking the gate and waiting for their children to get out of class.

The parents blocked the gate on the inside and outside of the three floors, and Zhang Dongming didn't go over, leaning against the wall outside the crowd and waiting for the end of class.

Within two minutes, a woman stood next to Zhang Dongming.

The woman is beautiful and well-dressed.

Light brown cashmere coat, black high-heeled boots, slightly permed long hair is soft and naturally draped over the shoulders, a faint smell of potpourri perfume, and light makeup can see that the woman is about 30-35 years old......

None of this is critical.

The key is that Zhang Dongming met this old man again, Dong Yan.

Dong Yan obviously had no impression of Zhang Dongming, glanced at the school twice, raised her hand to look at the time, and then stood there waiting for the school to end like Zhang Dongming.

The last time he met Dong Yan in the bookstore in the city, Zhang Dongming was more of an inner feeling, and he didn't pay much attention to Dong Yan, but today he took a closer look at this woman.

In his previous life, he and Dong Yan met at the beginning of 07, and in the following 10 years, Dong Yan's company has been their company's main competitor.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, 10 years of open and secret fighting, Dong Yanneng has been faintly suppressing the three of them, Zhang Dongming knows that this woman is not simple, but he actually admires her a little.

Now back in 2001, seeing Dong Yan in 2001, and Dong Yan in his impression of 07 at least did not change much in appearance, if you have to say that it is different, it may also be the relationship between the scene, that is, Dong Yan at this time is a little less enchanting and charming, and a little more dignified and elegant.

Dong Yan noticed that the man next to him had been looking at him and turned his head to look over.

Zhang Dongming smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze.

The bell rang for the end of class.

The students rushed out of the school building noisily, some went to the cafeteria, some went to the carport, and some ran directly to the gate.

The parents crowded at the gate, some raised their eyes, some waved and shouted.

At the busy and crowded school gate, students who did not live in the city pushed their carts out of the school gate one by one, and then rode away happily.

The students in the dormitory, those who had fake slips, all came out happily one by one, and those who didn't have fake slips talked to their parents through the school gate, chatting, laughing, and crying.

"Teacher!"

"Mom. ”

In the crowded school gate, Lu Ye and a girl squeezed out one after the other.
