On Sunday afternoon, Liao Xuebing was in a panic and decided to visit the home of the student Zhong Bai's house.

The first home visit to choose this student named Zhong Bai has his own ideas, first of all, this student has been absent from school the most times in the past year, second, through the description of the class leader Cui Zheng, the student's family is very poor, third, there are so many times of absenteeism, can be close to the passing level, indicating that people are very smart and can be erected.

According to the address written on the file, Liao Xuebing came to Seaside Park Road. He was a little strange, the seaside park has always been a rich residential area, with a group of villas, countless famous cars, Zhong Bai's grandmother is sick in bed, his parents are unemployed, and he goes out to work by himself, how can he live in such a place?

According to the house number, I found No. 129, which is actually a three-storey luxury palace-style villa, with a red spire, a round arched roof, a Roman column at the entrance, and a small wooden window on the upper floor that is ajar, with bright and beautiful colors, and the overall appearance is very beautiful Nordic style. Through the low fence fence, you can see the very flat lawn, the maple leaves that have just begun to turn red have fallen on the road, the rows of flower pots lined up in geometric patterns next to it, blooming brilliant jujue flowers, and on the right side of the house there is a small swimming pool with clear water and no one inside, and sun umbrellas and air mattresses are set up next to the pool.

This is obviously a place where the bourgeoisie can live, isn't he Zhong Bai joking?

After hesitating for a few minutes, she rang the doorbell, and soon after a dark-skinned Filipino woman wearing an apron ran out and hurried across the lawn to the door, glanced at Liao Xuebing, and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Zhong Bai, doesn't he live here?"

"Oh, you're looking for the young master, who are you?"

"I am the head teacher of Zhong Bai School, he has not been to class for several days, I came to visit the house to check the situation. ”

"That's right, please wait a moment, I'll let you know. The Filipino maid rushed into the house like a rocket, and after half a minute, she came out again, opened the door, and said, "Miss, please come and sit inside." ”

When I entered the door, I couldn't help but sigh: "What a chic Western-style courtyard, not only beautifully decorated, but also the environment is first-class and elegant." "Especially in the afternoon at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, a few maple and apple trees in the meadow swayed and rustled in the wind, which added a lot of fun.

Entering the house, the luxurious decoration made Liao Xuebing ashamed of himself, he didn't dare to show the appearance of a countryman who had never seen the world, forced nature, followed the guidance of the maid, changed into slippers and walked into the living room. A girl Yingying stood up, her hands clasped under her abdomen, bowed slightly to him and smiled: "It turned out that Xiaobai's teacher came to visit his home, and he was disappointed, please forgive me." ”

Liao Xuebing was full of appreciation, and when he saw the other party's gentle and polite attitude, his heart burst out: "This kind of family woman is really a good wife and mother, and she is really a woman who is difficult for men to find in three lives." ”

"Hello, I'm Zhong Bai's teacher Liao Xuebing. ”

"The teacher must have come from far away, it's hard work, please take a seat, I'm Zhong Bai's sister Zhong Dirui, teacher, you can call me Dirui. The pretty girl smiled at him and nodded, and then said to the maid, "Sharoa, bring the refreshments to the guests." ”

It turned out to be Zhong Bai's sister, no wonder she was so young and beautiful, it seems that she really came to the right place this time. Liao Xuebing sat down flattered, for fear that his stinky sweat would stain the expensive leather sofa, and for fear of ruining his image in front of Zhong Dirui, so he put his hands on his knees and sat upright.

"Hehe, the teacher came all the way for Xiaobai's business, it's really troublesome for you. Please wait a moment, I'll call Xiaobai down. Zhong Dirui bowed to him slightly, turned and walked up the stairs.

The Filipino maid Sharoa, serving coffee and snacks, had just eaten a cream sugar egg roll when she heard a faint quarrel upstairs.

After waiting for a while, the quarrel continued, and Liao Xuebing, who was accustomed to indulgence, gradually forgot the etiquette of being a guest at other people's homes, leaned on the sofa, rested his feet on the coffee table, held a snack plate in one hand, and turned on the TV with the remote control in the other.

The 49-inch plasma flat-screen TV made him feel deeply divided between the rich and the poor, and he fumbled in his pockets, only touching the lighter, but forgetting to bring a cigarette. Sharoa took out a pack of cigarettes that he couldn't name, and gently placed it on the table. Liao Xuebing was not polite, he tore open the seal and immediately swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and dusted the cigarette ash everywhere.

A television commercial begins with a beautiful female singing and then tops down on a massive stadium, with dozens of laser beams staggering through the air and the screams of the crowd merging. The picture switches to the stadium stands, densely packed with people, full of seats, everyone has a crazy expression on their faces, they are shouting a person's name, and strong music sounds in the background, the picture switches again, becoming a still girl, and the baritone said: "Everyone is looking forward to it, Murong Bingyu Zhonghai concert on September 26, the ice and rain are like a tide......"

"Is this the big star Murong Bingyu that the students are crazy about?, why do I think she is a little familiar?" Liao Xuebing looked at the woman covered in shiny ornaments in the picture and thought to himself.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs, Lao Liao hurriedly sat up straight, pressed out the cigarette butt, brushed away the cigarette ash on the sofa, and was in a hurry for a while.

"I'm really sorry for keeping the teacher waiting, Xiaobai went out this afternoon, I never knew, I will definitely inform him when he comes back." Zhong Dirui repeatedly expressed her apologies.

From the large sneakers placed at the door, the boy's voice during the quarrel upstairs just now, and the strange sound of pop music, Lao Liao completely judged that Zhong Bai must be upstairs and refused to see him, and Zhong Dirui couldn't resist his younger brother, so he had to make up a white lie.

"It's okay, Zhong ...... Well, Di Rui, let's talk about Zhong Bai, that is, your brother's affairs at school. In this situation, he could only pretend to be stupid, he originally wanted to call the other party Miss Zhong, but in the end, he chose this more intimate and intimate title.

"Okay, teacher, I was just wondering what Xiaobai did in school, no teacher had ever visited her home before. To tell you the truth, in the past few years, I have relied on Xiaobai for my life, and I have always hoped that he will grow into a man who stands up to the sky. ”

The two siblings depend on each other? What about their parents? Divorced in their early years, ran away from home, or are no longer alive, these are unknown, Zhong Bai's information is indeed filled in the guardian column is indeed Zhong Dirui's name. He couldn't be very presumptuous to ask in person, so he had to bury his words in his heart.

Looking at those moving eyes and expectant expression, she must have thought that her younger brother was excellent in school, with outstanding grades, integrity, bravery, diligence and kindness.

Through Zhong Bai's lie about the family's poverty, it can be guessed that he often lied to his sister at home, so that Zhong Dirui had that delusion.

In this case, Lao Liao can't make Zhong Dirui's disillusionment, it is often said in dog-blood TV series that in such a family, the younger brother is the only hope for the sister.
