Chapter 32: Getting Old

The bus drove calmly on the streets of Xiahai City, passing through the streets woven into the shade of camphor trees, walking through the old town, crossing the river embankment that turned into yellow sand in the summer and the green grass and grazing horses in the autumn, the Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings in the old city, and many old shaving shops, clock stalls, grain and oil stores that were almost extinct in later generations.

In the foggy air, the frost layer will be reflected in the bus that has not yet dissipated the twilight mist, and most of the students in the car have not yet woken up from their sleepy state, and the whole town seems to have not woken up yet, only Su Can is full of kinetic energy.

Speaking of which, when he joined the work in the later life, all kinds of pressure have made him not sleep lazy for many times, and he will automatically wake up as soon as he reaches that point every day, and when he was a student, it seemed that he couldn't sleep enough every day, on the bus, in class, and even when he went home to read a book, he was extremely sleepy from lack of oxygen to the brain.

Now after being reborn, Su Can falls asleep at eleven o'clock every day and wakes up at half past six, and his body functions seem to be full of endless energy.

When I arrived at the school, everything was calm, with a little gray canopy that had not yet been fully illuminated, the incandescent lights in the teaching building were lit up one after another, and when I entered the classroom, the classroom was sparse, Xiao Yuehua was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Su Can coming over and saying "Teacher Xiao", he nodded "um".

Recently, Xiao Yuehua's behavior has made Su Can a little strange, even the behaviors that he would find him to talk to from time to time are gone, and he did not coldly pull him up to answer a certain question in class, and even once he was reported for not finishing his Chinese homework, Xiao Yuehua did not give him any reprimands for the first time, in fact, the entire group of students who did not hand in their homework that day did not suffer from the expected "storm".

Watching Su Can walk to the desk in the classroom, sit down, put the schoolbag in, and then stack up the books, Xiao Yuehua nodded slightly.

No one knew that Xiao Yuehua had experienced a vicious fight, and the school had allocated a quota of ten good students in the first grade of high school, and some of the chief teachers of the old qualified generation in the grade had already targeted, and one place in their fifth class was guaranteed to Tang Yu, and Xiao Yuehua argued that they should have a second place in their fifth class.

There are only ten places in seven classes in this grade, and there are three extra places that have already been fought for in the circle of old qualified class teachers, similar to Xiao Yuehua, a relatively young class teacher, several of them are very wise and did not speak, and Xiao Yuehua actually dared to spread his hands to ask for it, this is a hungry wolf's mouth.

After fighting for the blood, someone said, "You Xiao Yuehua want a quota, okay, but you also have to come up with a reason for asking for a quota, except for Tang Yu, who is in the top ten grades in the whole grade, and has excellent character and learning, don't tell me to mention your deputy squad leader Wang Xuebing, speaking of which, I was still his teacher when he was in middle school, and I can understand that you value him, but Teacher Xiao, you can't be so irrational, although Wang Xuebing is good, he has not met the qualifications to apply for three good students!"

Some people sneered, "Teacher Xiao, don't you come to fight, you have been teaching for a long time, and you are competing for a place with a few of us old men who are about to retire, what's the point, you don't have time to declare your qualifications for this job title evaluation, right?"

Xiao Yuehua said, "I really can't improve my title this year, and I shouldn't have fought for this place, if it was for me, it would be useless for me to take this place." ”

The first one is humble, but the metaphorical meaning is, "Since it's useless, then you retreat, this is crazy something." ”

"I don't fight for anything myself, but there are students who can qualify for this place, if I don't fight for it, then I won't be at ease this year anyway!" After a pause, he said, "The person I want to recommend is Su Can!

Su Can!? Everyone was stunned, they calculated everything, and they even missed such a student in Xiao Yuehua's fifth class, and now that this name is mentioned in the teacher's office, the atmosphere is strange

Because the Xinghai Square built by the project everywhere has attracted attention in the fifth class, Xue Yiyang, a character with a strong social talent, has accumulated a lot of popularity, and there are groups of men and women in various circles in the class around him, all listening to him boasting, "Look at the news, haha, when the city leaders mentioned in the TV interview, the importance of Xinghai Square is the project built by our family, you said that there was a fuss some time ago, heh, the matter has been solved a long time ago, and now my dad and they have all paid benefits!" Just kidding, the secretary of the municipal party committee personally instructed the projects that the city leaders are concerned about, and there can still be mistakes?

The people around him watched him bragging, and they gradually became impatient, thinking that who would want to listen to you, if it weren't for the fact that they were more or less concerned about you and Su Can's family, what would be interesting about those reports on the city TV station, it would be better to watch the variety show of Central One!

But then again, things really happened with some dramatic surnames, the surname of the fifth class is Zhang Xi Li Ai and others, although Zhang Xi's family also has a place in the municipal axe, but there are some private entrepreneurs in the class, government agencies, and children in the public transportation system, but these people are not publicized, but they are more or less exposed to some hot topics about Xinghai Square at home, and they have also heard the adults in the family debate during the New Year's holidays, plus the relationship between Su Can, the most eye-catching figure in the class, they are no strangers to this。

The reaction I recently learned from the adults in the family can be described in the closest word - "surprise".

Some time ago, the city newspapers and television stations reported that "Yelang is arrogant, and the snake swallows the elephant!", "What internal affairs are not decided to decide foreign affairs!", "The problem of workers' wages is the biggest problem!", "Don't be too ambitious, and look close, walk steadily, and be a man!"

These negative comments about the project can now only be burned as a waste of water and inorganic matter.

The closest to Su Can and Xue Yiyang is naturally Li Lumei and Chen Lingshan's circle, Li Lumei clapped her hands and said, "That's really good! I saw it on the news some time ago, it's really scary, and now I don't need Lingshan's help, the matter is so satisfactorily resolved, hehe, Uncle Mayor seems to say that it will be completed by the end of the year, I heard that the Jiajiale supermarket in the province seems to be moving in, there are McDonald's, there are the latest sports stores, and there are large shopping supermarkets, so that our Xiahai is a small banyan city again!"

Li Lumei said excitedly, not noticing that she said that she didn't need "Lingshan's help", and Chen Lingshan's expression beside her was a little complicated.

In between classes, Su Can turned his head boredly, but he didn't expect to come into contact with Tang Yan's gaze behind him, because the seats in the class are all arranged on a rolling basis, and they are automatically pushed forward every week, and the group row he is in is moving forward, which pushes over, and Tang Yu is at the back of the classroom.

Glancing at her, Tang Yu blinked, after separating from Su Can that day, she would read the news in the city every night, and she would also flip through the newspapers in the house, and all she saw were negative comments, and her mood couldn't help but be low, Su Can said that this is a problem that can be solved, but looking at those reports, where is this a problem that can be solved very simply?

Who knew what happened next caught people off guard, and they didn't expect that the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee would stand up for the project, and in an instant, this problem that could have broken down the project everywhere was resolved without a trace under the push of Wang Shu. Thinking of Su Can's confident appearance, Tang Yu really couldn't connect him with the royal book of the ruling side of Xia Hai City. The boy may have some heroic dreams, but she knows that no matter what, how can the secretary of the municipal party committee have any intersection with Su Can?

It was ridiculous, and she didn't even have to contact it at all, but she couldn't help but think about it.

The teacher coughed twice at this moment, and was extremely distressed to point out Tang Yan's name that made eye contact with Su Can and was distracted, and asked her to get up to answer the question, which naturally also meant a warning

After school in the afternoon, Chen Lingshan saw her father's crimson Santana waiting there at the door, and happily greeted her.

Father Chen saw Chen Lingshan who came over from the circle of girls, she was like a butterfly, she needed his good care and guarded her full wings.

Many girls also nodded to Father Chen, "Uncle Chen!" Even a few boys who had a crush on Chen Lingshan greeted Father Chen respectfully in awe.

At this time, Su Can and Xue Yiyang walked out of the school gate, and Father Chen's eyes sharpened.

Chen Lingshan waved her hand in time, and the bohemian skirt on her body swayed in the wind, and she shouted crisply, "Su Can." ”

Su Can turned his head, and at this moment, Father Chen's back arched slightly, and the pair of eyes shot at the seventeen-year-old boy with some expectation, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Lingshan looked at him, but Su Can's footsteps did not stop, he just beckoned to her and smiled brightly, "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”

In this process, Chen's father knew Su Can, and he knew that Su Can also knew himself, because he was once in a trading company, and when he appeared in front of Su Can, he was condescending and glanced at him.

But Su Can didn't step forward to say "hello uncle" to him in awe like other boys, but from beginning to end, his eyes didn't fall on him, and he kept going downhill with his friends.

Chen's father and Chen Lingshan sat in Santana's car, did not drive, Chen's father had a cigarette in his hand, Chen Lingshan knew that his father had quit smoking under the supervision of his mother for a while, but he had recently made investments, and occasionally when he hit a wall and was in a bad mood, he would smoke a few.

Chen Lingshan obediently took out the zippo windproof light machine worth 100 yuan in his father's pocket, and skillfully lit the fire and lit a cigarette for him with her white and tender slender hands.

Father Chen spit out a puff of smoke, and through this smoke, he saw the figure that was fading away from the view of the windshield of the car, and said with some loss, "Is Lingshan's father old?"

Chen Lingshan gently pulled his father's arm, his head rested on his shoulder, his nose was a little sore, looking at Su Can's back through the mist in his eyes, Chen Lingshan shook his head, "Dad is not old, in my heart, you will never be old." ”
