Because I spent so much energy on Jiaqi this semester, my academic performance dropped like a roller coaster, and my ranking in the midterm exam dropped from 8th to 39th in the class at the beginning. For a class of 50 or so, I'm almost in the bottom 10. And I didn't do well in the subsequent small exams, and my homework was often wrong.

Because of the decline in my grades, Ms. Tu, the head teacher, called me to her office and asked me some questions when I was about to end the semester.

I remember that she was sitting on the iron chair with Erlang's legs crossed, holding the ranking of the latest small exam in her hand, and her expression was unusually dignified. And I stood in front of her with my head bowed slightly, and was reprimanded by her.

"Yang Jiandong, the teacher thinks that you are really not right recently. Look at what the hell is going on with your grades having regressed so much!"

“……”

"If it's once or twice, the teacher won't come to you, but it's really been several times. The teacher looked anxious, didn't you say?"

“……”

"It really can't go on like this. Yang Jiandong, tell the teacher honestly, what have you been doing at home lately?"

Teacher Tu's words made my heart tremble, and every word was like a whip in my face. Especially after the last sentence, I was very frightened.

I'm not unaware of the decline in my own grades. In fact, while taking care of Jiaqi, I also spent a lot of time studying outside of class to make up for the energy that I was distracted by taking care of Jiaqi. But after all, I've wasted too many courses, and it's really not that simple to make up for it in one go.

In the face of Mr. Tu's questioning and scolding, I was speechless. Because the drop in my grades is an ironclad fact.

However, I couldn't tell me about taking care of Jiaqi, so I could only keep my head down in the end.

"Yang Jiandong, if this continues, I really have to call and ask your father in person. You used to be an excellent student, but now you have fallen into this situation, other people's grades are constantly catching up, but you are getting worse and worse every time, which is definitely not normal. ”

I have to say that calling my parents is still quite deterrent for every student who is still in middle school, especially for me, because I have been hiding from my father many times in exams during this time, so he doesn't know much about my grades declining, but he knows that I haven't done well in the exam a few times, and every time the teacher says that the report card needs to be signed, I pretend to be my father's note to sign, if Teacher Tu really told my father everything I hid will be completely exposed, and my father may also track down the reason for my declining grades, and then I secretly adopted Jiaqi This matter is very likely to be exposed。

In the end, I could only look anxious to discern the reason why I was too obsessed with watching TV during this time, and promised Mr. Tu that I would study hard in the next time and strive for good grades in the final exam, I said a lot of promises, and finally Mr. Tu reluctantly agreed that I would not call my father, but said that if I was not serious, I would come to visit the house.

"Then the teacher will take a look at your final grades first, and if you still don't catch up, the teacher will still go to your house to ask about the situation!"

When I walked out of the office, my heart was so heavy that I couldn't be more heavy.

I know that the drop in my grades was ultimately caused by Jiaqi. If it weren't for Jiaqi, my results would never have reached this point today, but the dozen or so places in the twenties should still be maintained.

At that moment, I suddenly had the idea of giving up Jiaqi.

I even wanted to hand over Jiaqi to Aunt Bao Juan, and I would never have anything to do with it again.

It's just that this thought didn't last long before it dissipated. In the end, it is still a bit difficult for me to give up Jiaqi.

It's not the first time I've thought about giving up on Jiaqi in the past few days, and I can't even remember how many times I've thought about it. But every time I have such an idea, I quickly reject it.

Maybe it's the imaginary "Lori Cultivation Plan" in my heart that is doing it, or maybe it's because I've been getting along with Jiaqi these days, and I have something similar to feelings, which is like raising a kitten or a puppy, maybe sometimes it makes you very annoying, but you really want to release it and drive it out of the house, but there is no way to do it.

Of course, Mr. Tu's scolding of me did play a role, at least it gave me a stronger sense of crisis. At that time, I also realized that if I didn't work hard, I might really fall to the bottom.

So from that day on, I was not usually used to taking the initiative to read textbooks, so I picked up the textbooks and read them hard every night, looking at the unfamiliar words on it, I was really in extreme pain, but in order to make up for the grades I fell off, I had no choice but to persevere.

In the final exam in early January, my total score reached 23rd, although it is still not comparable to when I entered the school, but compared to the midterm and the usual small exams, it is a lot better.

Of course, by the time I got my report card, it was already winter vacation.

This is also the first winter vacation I have ushered in since I picked up Jiaqi.

After the winter vacation, I took Jiaqi home and didn't ask Aunt Bao Juan to take care of it. I spent most of the winter vacation in an underground warehouse.

Of course, because I had to go to my relatives during the winter vacation and the New Year, I fed Jiaqi less than once for three consecutive days, but Jiaqi didn't have any problems after feeding two or three times of milk.

For more than ten days after the Spring Festival, my father stayed at home with me. And I kept Jiaqi in the underground warehouse, secretly taking care of her from my father.

Because there are a lot of guests these days, and my father is playing mahjong and cards every day, so I don't pay much attention to my daily behavior, but a few times I asked why I often run into the basement, at that time I made an excuse that there were a few books I couldn't find in the underground warehouse, so I have been looking for fools.

A month of cold is like smoke.

Winter goes to spring.

In early spring, there was a light snowfall, and I was a year older.

That year, I was 17 years old.

On the first day of school, when I entered the classroom, my classmates were excitedly discussing the topics of the winter vacation, while I put down my schoolbag, sat down silently, and started a new semester of life.

Most of the time, I am lonely, except for physical education class where I will do activities with my classmates, most of the time, I like to sit alone in the classroom silently, looking out the window by myself.

In the second semester of high school, I still raised Jiaqi and lived my high school life. My life is still going back and forth between home, a steamed bun shop, and a school.

Overall, the second semester was uneventful.

Of course, it's not that there aren't thrilling things happening, and there were a few times when I was almost discovered by my father.

There are three more serious impressions. Once, my father wanted to fill extra wine bottles, but I couldn't find the box at home, so I wanted to go to the underground warehouse to get it, fortunately I happened to be at home that time, so I took the initiative to run down in front of my father and get a box up, so that my father didn't find out that I was hiding in the underground warehouse at that time.

The second time was when I spent the night in the underground warehouse, that time I still locked the door of my bedroom, and then spent the night in the underground warehouse, but that time my father knocked on my door because of something at night, and knocked for a long time, and even thought that something happened to me and almost hit the door. I only found out about it the next day, when I only made excuses that I slept too hard to hear a knock on the door, and then my father scolded me and told me not to lock the bedroom door at night.

The third time was the most serious, when the family bought a big TV and had no place to put the box, so my father went to the underground warehouse himself. When I came back, my father asked me how the underground warehouse was so clean that it could even accommodate people.

I was really taken aback. Fortunately, Jiaqi was taken care of by Aunt Bao Juan and was not at home that time, otherwise I think I would definitely not be able to escape that time.

That's it, overall, my second semester of high school can be regarded as a thrilling one.

In this way, time continued to fly, the enthusiasm of summer continued to follow the laziness of spring, and the second semester ended in a blink of an eye. This semester, my final grade was 27th, which is still a bit lower than the first semester. But this time, the head teacher, Mr. Tu, did not talk to me again, mainly because she was going to be divided into arts and sciences classes at the beginning of the next semester, and I was basically no longer her student, so she didn't pay much attention to me anymore.

Maybe in her heart, she has given me up.

In the end, I chose the liberal arts because I often took a nap in chemistry class, and my chemistry grades were not very good, so I chose the liberal arts that I heard from others that I could score as long as I took the time to memorize.

I think that I was close to a perfect score in science in the junior high school entrance examination, but finally chose liberal arts, which has to be said to be a sad result.

My father was not very satisfied with my choice of liberal arts, but in the end, he still asked me to follow my choice, saying that since I chose liberal arts, I should study hard and take this path well.

The arrival of summer vacation marks the end of the first year of high school.

It was already mid-July. On the first day of the summer vacation, I picked up Jiaqi from Aunt Bao Juan.

Speaking of Aunt Bao Juan, I also want to mention that Aunt Bao Juan asked me several times about my parents this semester. But I just told her that my parents were divorced, and that my mother still didn't know where she had gone and hadn't come back, but she had just called me a few times and said that she would come back to Jiaqi when she got a job out of town. I have been thinking about this lie for a long time, so Aunt Bao Juan did not doubt it, and in addition, I also bought a second set of clothes for Jiaqi this semester, and I myself bought a book on raising babies at a small stall. I have a deeper understanding of how to raise a baby, and I am not as rusty as I was at the beginning.

By the way, this semester, I took out 3,000 yuan from my savings and gave it to Aunt Bao Juan, of course, under the pretext that my mother gave her the money, in order to thank her for taking care of Jiaqi.

At that time, counting the more than 2,000 New Year's money I got when I was 17 years old, I only had less than 7,000 yuan. And with the daily expenses for Jiaqi, my money is getting less and less.

At that time, I had already realized that if I continued to take care of Jiaqi like this, one day, I would run out of money sooner or later.

At that time, it is likely that it will be the moment when Jiaqi and I will be separated.
