What made Qi Yun feel gratified was that the teaching work was carried out quite smoothly. Because of her youth and liveliness, and because of her increasingly harmonious relationship with the students, the atmosphere in her classroom has always been quite active. Qi Yun has reason to believe that although these students can't "win at the starting line" like the city baby, their future will also be bright!

Now not only the students in Benwa's class, but even the students in several other classes also regard Qi Yun as a good confidant sister, and they are willing to communicate with Qi Yun no matter what, especially a few girls, who are crowded in Qi Yun's narrow dormitory when they have anything to do, muttering and talking. Before class that day, a sixth-grade girl found Qi Yun and said sadly, "Erfeng won't come to school in the future." ”

Qi Yun was originally an anxious person, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked why. Er Feng is a girl in the sixth grade graduating class, and her academic performance is one of the best in the class, and she is very aura. It's a pity that my father has passed away a long time ago, and there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the family, and my mother can't manage it alone, so although she is a child from her own village, she also lives in school with children from other villages. Qi Yun once saw her lunch consisting of a bag of dried steamed buns made by her mother every week, plus a bottle of salted peppers. She is timid and doesn't like to talk much, and often hides alone in front of her desk during her lunch break, holding up a book to cover half of her face, and nibbling on hard steamed buns while reading. Just that small bottle of chili pepper, Er Feng is always reluctant to eat it, and often half a bottle is left after a week. If such a situation happens, Qi Yun will see her come to the dormitory next week with half a bottle of chili peppers and steamed buns left over from last week.

The girl who came to report the news snorted and said, "Erfeng's mother is gone...... She won't be able to afford to go to school anymore. ”

Qi Yun stood up abruptly and sat down slowly.

After staying for a while, I asked the girl who reported the news when it was. The girl said that it was last night, and said that when Erfeng's mother left, her whole body was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and the person who carried the coffin only grabbed it with one hand and got up. The girl who reported the news said, and couldn't help but cover her face and whimper.

Qi Yun didn't try to persuade her, and looked ahead blankly. Not long ago, she also visited Erfeng's house and met Erfeng's mother. Erfeng's family has always been very difficult, but Erfeng's mother has a high spirit, and she sent her three children to school when they reached school age. It is because of this that the family's economy has been extremely poor, the usual rice only has steamed buns and chili peppers, can eat two meals without eating three meals, can eat one without eating two meals, in addition to buying some salt at home, and then buy a few taels of oil during the New Year's holidays, and never see Erfeng's mother buy anything left. I don't know if it is related to such long-term malnutrition, Erfeng's mother eventually got cancer, this is an old man in the village who used to study medicine in the county town helped her make a diagnosis, the old man persuaded her: "Let the girl study, go to the county seat to see!" Erfeng's mother simply and easily rejected him: "You said you can't see it, what do you want us to see?" ”

Erfeng's mother was afraid of delaying the children's studies, and she never told Erfeng and her younger siblings about cancer. But the news reached Qi Yun's ears in a hurry, and Qi Yun would go to the door every once in a while, and by the way, he would bring some rice noodles and other things that the village chief had sent to him for Erfeng's mother. When Qi Yun came to the door again a few days ago, Erfeng's mother, who had always been silent and stoic, was tortured by the severe pain of cancer, rolling on the bed and howling, but when she saw Teacher Qi Yun walk in the door, she still endured the pain and said hello to her.

The old man who made a cameo appearance as a barefoot doctor in the village was also at Erfeng's house, and he said to Qi Yun: "She is so miserable, she picks the wall with her fingers, you see how many marks there are on this wall." ”

Qi Yun followed the old man's hand and looked at the wall, and sure enough, he saw the marks scratched out by the deep and shallow nails, densely packed on the earthen wall, which looked shocking.

The old man said, "Persuade her, go and see!" It can't be cured, and it can be relieved of pain! Female dolls don't go to school, isn't that the case? ”

Qi Yun stared blankly, not knowing what to say. It was Erfeng's mother who sat up and squeezed out a smile at Qi Yun: "Teacher, you are smiling." Anyway, I can't save this disease, what are you doing to cure it? If it weren't for the fact that the babies all had to go to school, I would have had to cook for them, and I would have gone to see his father a long time ago. ”

Qi Yun looked at her face, and the woman's face was also densely written with the marks scratched by the claws of time, which seemed to be more shocking than the marks on the earthen wall, but Qi Yun knew that this woman was only in her thirties, not much older than herself, and she was still gorgeous and enchanting in a well-off family in the city.

Erfeng's mother's skinny face turned to Qi Yun, and her hollow eyes looked extremely big and sad. She sighed:

"Teacher Qi, I'm not afraid of death. But if I die, how will Erfeng and her younger siblings go to school? ”

Now, when Qi Yun thought of the woman's words, he still felt that it was still in his ears, but the silent and stoic woman was never seen again. Erfeng's mother is a widowed peasant woman who can't read big words, and she actually has the courage and insight to let her three children go to school, which really surprised and admired Qi Yun, but after that, she was deeply sad and regretful. Because the facts have been put in front of us: Erfeng's mother has dedicated the last bit of light and heat to this family, and now she is running out of oil and lamps, no matter how young Erfeng is and how good she is at studying, she has to take up the burden of this family and drop out of school to make a living. And how can she, a thin little girl, feed her family? It seems that Erfeng's younger brother and sister, who are only in the second and third grades, are dropping out of school is just around the corner.

Families like theirs, even if they drop out of school, they can't find any good jobs to work, which means that the last road in life is almost blocked. Life is like this, the house leak coincides with the rain today, and fate is often so cruel that people are helpless.

Qi Yun was quiet and asked the girl who reported the news: "Do you know that there are any other relatives in Erfeng's family?" ”

The girl thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is an aunt who lives in the village on Wuli Road to the west." ”

Qi Yun nodded, comforted the girl a few words, and asked her to enlighten Erfeng more. Then Qi Yun made some preparations that night and walked to visit Aunt Erfeng's house in the village in the west.

Aunt Erfeng's own family lives in a low cave, and her life is only difficult to maintain. Qi Yun looked at the dilapidated situation in her house, and couldn't say anything that she had been prepared to repeat, just sat there chatting about farm work and some things in life, and had already made up her mind that this would be a failed home visit.

But she didn't expect that when Aunt Erfeng sent her out of the cave door, she took the initiative to say:

"Teacher Qi, I know what you mean by coming home. Your name is ten miles and eight villages, and whoever hears it must give a thumbs up. Although we also have a baby in our own family, and the burden is heavy, Erfeng's child's grades are really good, and it's a pity that she doesn't go on. ”

Qi Yun was stunned, tears rushing to his eyes. I didn't know what to say, so I had to repeat in a low voice, "Yes, it's a pity." ”

My aunt said, "If she really can't go to school, my dead ghost brother underground won't be able to close his eyes." ”

Qi Yun bit his lip to prevent the tears from falling, and he didn't know whether it was better to nod or shake his head.

The aunt continued: "I, as an aunt, can't let my brother close his eyes underground. Teacher, don't worry, no matter how hard it is, I will let Erfeng become a talent, and give up Erfeng and her younger brothers and sisters. ”

Qi Yun couldn't hold back any longer, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and wept silently. Half ringing before he raised his head and said:

"Auntie, I thank you for Erfeng. When she grows up and is promising, she will definitely treat you as filial as her own father and mother. ”

Aunt Erfeng said, "Teacher Qi, where are you talking about?" You are not related to each other, so for Erfeng's sake, it should be me to thank you for Erfeng. ”

Qi Yun hurriedly took out a paper bag from his body and handed it to Aunt Erfeng with both hands.

"Auntie, this is two thousand yuan, I brought it from home. It's not a lot of money, but it's still useful for the time being. I would ask my friends to find social donations in the city, but it didn't work out so quickly. But no matter what, Erfeng and his younger siblings are my students, and I also have to do my part, and this is not something that you can do by suffering alone. ”

Aunt Erfeng retracted her hand as if she had been burned, and shook her head again and again: "How can this be, how can it be like this." ”

Qi Yun persuaded hard, and was almost about to beg, but Aunt Erfeng accepted the money with red eyes. Aunt Erfeng, who accepted the money, pounced and knelt down for Qi Yun, and Qi Yun hurriedly helped him. Both of them had blurred tears, although Qi Yun didn't like this scene like a nine-stream bitter TV series at all, but he couldn't hold back the tears at that time.

Erfeng's school has been settled for the time being, and Qi Yun's wallet has been exhausted and died in battle. However, Qi Yun was still optimistic, thinking that when Hong Jian came back next time, he should ask him how the last time he and his colleagues approached about finding orders for handmade products from large merchants who stayed abroad, how was going? You have to hurry up about this. If it is really needed, Qi Yun is also ready to take a few days off to go home, and it is good to be able to pull some "sponsorship" from relatives and friends! It is said that she has not been home since she came to teach, and even the Spring Festival has allowed her to try to support the past, one is because of the long distance and inconvenience to go home, but the more important reason is that she is deeply worried that if her mother sees her weight plummeting by more than ten pounds since she came to the countryside, she is thin and haggard, and she will definitely obstruct the teaching, if so, it will be very bad.

But now the situation is stronger than people. Qi Yun also knew that he had returned home, as long as he was diligent, patted his ass, pouted and lied, and "cheated" 12,000 yuan from his father to give her students an education reserve, this matter was quite sure. Life is divided into stages, and for Qi Yun now, her biggest goal in life at this stage is not to let any of the students she teaches drop out of school, and she can "do whatever it takes" to achieve this goal. But then again, at this time, I really felt the goodness of my parents, and only my parents could indulge her like this and help her indiscriminately, she thought, it seems that she will be more filial in the future.

Who expected that a wave would not settle, and a wave would rise again. On this day, Qi Yun returned to the dormitory after class, took a sip of water, and devoted himself to the work of correcting homework and preparing tomorrow's lesson plan, as soon as his thoughts were straightened out, he heard someone knocking on the door, Qi Yun was a little irritable, and reluctantly walked over and opened the door, secretly complaining in his heart that this uninvited guy interrupted her train of thought. However, when she saw that the visitor seemed to be the headmaster, she politely let the headmaster into the room.

The headmaster was still hunched over his shoulders as usual, smoking the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, and there was a little panicked look on his face that was rarely seen on weekdays.

The principal rarely shows such a look, Qi Yun has a bad premonition, and just about to ask, the principal put down the cigarette pouch in his hand and opened his mouth:

"Teacher Qi, you are now from your own family, and you have come from the city to see the world. I specially came to you to discuss an idea: several parents of girls came to me this afternoon, saying that they were going to quit school, what do you think should be done? ”

Qi Yun was shocked, why is this? After Qi Yun's hard work in the recent period of publicity, most of the parents in the village and neighboring villages know that if they read a good book to their baby, the baby will grow legs that cross the threshold of the mountain, and only by stepping out of the threshold of the mountain can they run towards a farther and better future. Therefore, even a family like Aunt Erfeng tightens their belts to find a way for their children to study, and such a family is still like this, and other families have no reason to do things that drag the education of the whole village back.

The headmaster smacked the mouth of the unlit dry tobacco pot again, and was silent for a while, before he said:

"Fangqin, the sister of the Yuqin you taught, came back to the village yesterday."

"Oh, that's the girl who got into the vocational school in the regional capital and stayed there to work, right?"

Qi Yun has a good memory, and there is only such a "female talent" in the village, so he remembers it very well, "Isn't that a good thing?" She is a very good role model, seeing her, the villagers should encourage their children to study, why don't they read anymore? ”

"Well," said the village chief, tuffing the dry tobacco pot, "but he came back, but the man ...... They don't look like people anymore! ”

"What?" Qi Yun was surprised, "What's going on?" ”

The village chief looked embarrassed, as if there was something bad to say. But it just so happened that at this time, Yuqin didn't even knock on the door, so she crashed into the house, plunged into Qi Yun's arms, and whimpered and cried.

Yuqin has always been shy and quiet, never reckless, and it can be said that she has never been like this today. Qi Yun was shocked, and hurriedly patted her on the back and comforted her, and waited until she was almost crying before she asked.

Yuqin raised a crying little face, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen like two ripe peaches, she opened her mouth to speak, but her crying voice was not strong, and she spoke indistinctly, Qi Yun was confused after listening to it for a long time.

Yuqin said, "Teacher Qi, my sister is ...... Let the demon possess you! ”

Qi Yun shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, where are the ghosts?" Tell the teacher about everything, and the teacher will help you figure it out. ”

Yuqin just cried, and couldn't say a whole sentence halfway. Qi Yun had no choice but to ask the principal again, but the principal also slurred, and seemed to have something unspeakable. Qi Yun was in a hurry, and stood up with a loud voice:

"Headmaster, I'll go see Fangqin - Yuqin, you lead the way."

The principal glanced at Qi Yun, also stood up, silently picked up the cigarette pouch and pot, and walked in front with his shoulders on his back to lead the way. Qi Yun hurriedly followed him, and finally followed Yuqin, who was still sobbing.

The three of them walked into the simple courtyard of Yuqin's house with their own hearts, and saw Yuqin's father squatting on the ridge in front of the door, smoking a cigarette bag and pot with a sad face, and there was a sound of Yuqin's mother sobbing and crying in the house.

"Yuqin and his father, don't smoke, let your daughter-in-law stop crying, see we invited Teacher Qi, you let your daughter come out and show her, they are all female children, they talk to each other well, Teacher Qi has seen the world again, let her help get an idea."

Sanlai, who was smoking a dry cigarette, said sullenly: "If you can see it, you can't call it out to see it!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" The people in their circle seemed to be playing dumb riddles, and Qi Yun was so anxious that he was about to scratch the wall: "Uncle Sanlai, you should tell me quickly!" ”

Sanlai shrugged his head and remained silent. The principal was really helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and tell Qi Yun himself.

It turned out that this Fangqin was a student brought up by the principal himself, although she was a female doll, she was strong everywhere, and she was the first person in the village to be admitted to the city school. In the years when Fangqin went to school, although Fangqin's family still had to dig out a few eldest sons from the soil and pick out a few children from between their teeth, and send them to the city every once in a while, they could think of Fangqin's great future, and think that Fangqin would be like a city girl in the future, stay in the city, have a decent job, find a city partner, I heard that men in the city don't beat their wives, and they also pay attention to what ladies are prioritized - although Fangqin's parents don't understand why ladies are first, they just believe that Fangqin will be happy in the future, What's more, Fangqin's future descendants can also stay in the city, which is a matter of the glory of the ancestors! On weekdays, as long as Fangqin is mentioned, Uncle Sanlai's old, dish-colored face due to long-term malnutrition suddenly stretches and glows, Fangqin has always been the pride and hope of their family, they have always told Yuqin to study hard, and she can be the same as Fangqin in the future, and Yuqin's small heart has naturally always regarded her sister as a spiritual idol.

But yesterday, this "idol" fell from the sky to the ground, and shattered into scum with a "pop". After graduating from a vocational school in the regional capital, Fangqin is said to have been assigned a job in the tertiary industry of the county government, which is an ideal place for a rural girl in a ravine and even for a family in the county town that eats commercial grain. When Fangqin got the allocation notice last year, there was a lot of excitement in the village, and Uncle Sanlai also set up a water banquet for guests.

But it's only been a year since I did this, and I came home yesterday. Of course, it is normal to go home, but the way Fangqin goes home is so weird that it couldn't be weirder.

Yesterday afternoon, Fangqin's mother was in the hall, with her back to the door embroidering insoles, and suddenly someone pushed the door open and walked in without saying a word, Fangqin's mother was startled, and took a closer look but found that it was Fangqin, Fangqin's beautiful face was wooden, and she didn't answer anything, she just walked into the back room on the kang where she usually slept on, her head was facing the wall, and she fell asleep with her head bored.

Fangqin's mother was stunned for a while, and gently called her daughter's name, Fangqin didn't say anything, didn't answer questions, shook her body and didn't open her eyes, Fangqin's mother was a little hairy, just at this time Yuqin entered the house after school, Fangqin's mother shouted Yuqin and pulled Fangqin up. Fang Qin sat up, her eyes were open, but her eyes were very sloppy, demented, and she didn't know where she was looking.

"Her mother was so scared that she couldn't do it, Yuqin came to call me, I followed up to take a look, she was that weird look. I shouted and asked, but she didn't answer a word, and looked at me like she didn't know my father. Yuqin's father knocked the dry tobacco pouch on his shoes and said angrily: "Teacher Qi Yun, what do you say is wrong?" I went to the city to study for two years and went to class for most of the year, and I became delicate? It's weird, even my father and mother don't pay attention to it? ”

"You know all the nonsense!" Fangqin's mother wore a ragged jacket, wiped the corners of her red eyes and said, "This girl has been sensible since she was a child, there must be some reason for this!" If you don't ask clearly, you'll be indiscriminate, and you are still worthy of being someone else's son?! ”

Fangqin's father was already angry, but at this time, he was robbed by his daughter-in-law, and he was even more angry, jumping up and picking up the dry tobacco pouch to beat his daughter-in-law, the principal and Qi Yun were busy persuading, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while. Yuqin's little face turned pale with fright, and she pulled the corner of Qi Yun's clothes as if pulling a life-saving straw, crying and saying:

"Teacher Qi, save my sister, what should I do if my sister is possessed by a ghost?"

Qi Yun held Yuqin in his arms and comforted her with warm words, telling her to calm down and stop being suspicious.

Fang Qin's father was stopped by the principal, he was full of anger and had no place to spill, so he threw down the dry tobacco bag and scolded: "Your sister let you possess you, you can see ghosts in the sky and daytime, and it is not a good product!" Look for trouble! ”

Yuqin hid in Qi Yun's arms, Qi Yun felt her small and thin body trembling like chaff, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said with a cold face: "Uncle Sanlai, I really haven't seen a father like you, the eldest daughter has a problem and is not happy to find a way, and he curses the younger daughter here for no reason!" ”

Qi Yun has been in the village recently, and although Fang Qin's father was so angry that he stood on the ground and gasped, he didn't say anything anymore. Qi Yuncai breathed a sigh of relief, and in the blink of an eye, he became worried again, and said to himself:

"If you want to find a way, you have to speak...... Is this really nothing to ask? ”

Yuqin attached herself to Qi Yun like a kitten, avoiding her father's eyes,

"My sister...... It's really demon-possessed, I'm not talking nonsense! ...... last night"

Fangqin's father heard Yuqin mention this again, and felt embarrassed, and jumped up to fight again in a rage, Fangqin's mother howled and screamed, desperately grabbing her husband's arm. Although Fang Qin's father was rude, he was helpless for a while when he encountered his own woman who was fighting for his life, and because he had to take care of the principal and Qi Yun here, he had to squat in the middle of the room in discouragement.

Fangqin's mother's wrinkled eyes were no longer full of tears, and she glanced at Yuqin: "Second girl, say whatever you want." ”

Yuqin took Qi Yun's hand and began to talk about the events of last night. It turned out that Fangqin slept in a room with Yuqin when she was at home, she went to the provincial capital to study and work, and none of the two kangs in the room were removed, leaving Fangqin to live when she returned to her parents' house. Last night, the sisters still slept like this, Yuqin saw that her sister was strange when she came home, so she was naturally very worried, but after all, she was too young to stay up with sleepy insects, and she sank into the dark sweet country in a daze in the middle of the night. Not long after I slept for a long time, I was woken up by the sound of Fang Qin.

Yuqin first heard one sneer after another, she began to think that she was dreaming, but after stabilizing her mind and staring to listen, the sneer was still continuous, because it was dark around and the time was very blurry, this laughter was particularly cold and penetrating.

Fang Qin first giggled and sneered for a while, and then spoke softly and to herself. Yuqin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to scream, but in vain she covered her ears and face with her arms. She didn't really listen to what Fangqin said, so she could only say a few words according to the gourd, such as "You are coming", "You are really leaving", "I miss you", "Why don't you come to see me", and so on.

Yuqin lay on the bed and felt that the blood flow in her whole body was congealed, only to feel that it was no longer her sister who was sleeping on the other bed next to her, but some blue-faced and fanged banshee. Just as he was at a loss, he heard the banshee on the bed next to him start singing.

The song was familiar, and it was their popular local flower. Fangqin has a good voice, and when she was not admitted to university earlier, she was a well-known lark in the countryside, but now at night, Fangqin pinched her voice again, and she couldn't say how tactful and sad.

Fang Qin sang:

"The clothes are rotten and rotten, and they are mended with a thousand stitches,

The heart of the person who can't see it in his eyes is holding it, and he is looking forward to it......"

As he sang, he giggled and sneered. Yuqin's scalp exploded, and she couldn't listen to it anymore. She quietly and quietly kicked her legs, and found that her legs and feet could still move, so she got up from the bed with a cigarette smoke, and ran straight to her parents' bedroom without bothering to put on her shoes. As she ran, she wondered if her sister, who was possessed by a ghost, was chasing her after her, a story about ghost possession. Yuqin had heard several such stories from the mouths of several old ladies who sat in the sun at the entrance of the village every day, and the ghosts in the stories were all dressed in white, with a cold and unpredictable smile on their faces, and followed people silently.

Fortunately, there was nothing to chase her, Yuqin ran into her sleeping mother's house, even rolled and climbed on the kang, arched into her mother's arms, panted and finished everything that had just happened, and did not see a white dress flash into the house.

Fangqin's mother was also frightened when she heard the little girl's words, Fangqin's father went to the neighboring village to drink, drunk and didn't go home, the night in the countryside was very quiet, she didn't have to make much effort, she heard the next bedroom in the bedroom, there was indeed a faint singing. Fangqin's mother didn't even have the courage to go over and take a look, so Fangqin sang straight all night. On the second day, after the rooster crowed, he covered his head and face with a quilt, and fell asleep, and from the two days and nights he stepped into the house, not only did he not eat a grain of rice, but he did not even touch his lips with a drop of water.

"Sleep during the day, make trouble at night, don't eat or drink, if it goes on like this, it won't take a few days to be over!" Fang Qin's mother was tormented by sorrow, and she was already as thin as a piece of paper, her thin hand grabbed Qi Yun, and a cold chill poured from the back of Qi Yun's hand to her body.

Qi Yun listened to Fang Qin's mother's tearless whimper: "Ancestor, what kind of sin has my family created!" ”

"Auntie, don't cry yet, isn't everyone helping you find a way?" Qi Yun comforted with kind words. She remembered someone, so she turned to the principal and said, "Headmaster, do you think you have invited your lover to ask Fangqin?" ”

"Oops!" The principal slapped his thigh, "Look at my fool! If you don't say it, you'll really forget. ”

The principal hurried home to call his daughter-in-law. Fangqin's family was poor when she was studying, so she brought a dry bun at noon every day and ate it with the water bubble in the bucket under the eaves. She studied hard, and the principal's daughter-in-law took pity on her, sometimes recruiting her to come to the house, and specially made some dishes with oil and water to nourish her.

After a while, the principal's daughter-in-law trotted to Fang Qin's house, got into the back room, and softly called Fang Qin's name. The principal and Qi Yun were not at ease, and they both stood at the door and secretly looked inside. Fang Qin heard the voice of the principal's daughter-in-law, and finally reacted, sat up with a bang, turned around and shouted bitterly:

"Aunt! Auntie—"

The principal's daughter-in-law hugged Fangqin in her arms: "Girl, what do you have to tell your aunt?" ”

Fang Qin's originally watery phoenix eyes were now red, swollen and dry, and she turned around with difficulty, and her face became more and more pale. The principal's daughter-in-law also glanced at it inadvertently, but it happened to sweep onto the somewhat bulging abdomen of the woman of the Sanlai family, she was secretly taken aback, she didn't want to think about it in that way, but she felt that it might be difficult to solve it if she didn't talk about the root, she pointed to the abdomen of the woman of the Sanlai family, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Isn't it...... What's going on? ”

Fangqin howled. Her parents are honest and careless, in fact, although her belly is only slightly bulging, but because the whole body is thin, it is also a little shocking. It is precisely because of this that she can't continue to work in the unit, a country girl like her, even if the unit doesn't say that it will punish her, other people's spit stars can drown her.

Fang Qin plunged into the arms of the principal's daughter-in-law, crying and confiding in a slurred voice. At this moment, Qi Yun had already understood the general reason, and felt a little embarrassed, she glanced at the principal in embarrassment, and the principal was at a loss, coughing and holding the cigarette pouch and pot, and walking towards the hall with her shoulders on her back, Qi Yun woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed the principal to the hall.

In the hall, Qi Yun was sitting on pins and needles, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, and the principal was just smoking pot by pot, squatting on the soles of his shoes and knocking on the dry tobacco pouch. Uncle San Lai walked around the courtyard frantically, searching for work in the corner, and scolding viciously; Fang Qin's mother squatted in the corner of the courtyard to the east, her thin back trembling, and she wailed loudly and lowly.

After waiting for a long time, the principal's daughter-in-law finally came out of the back room, her figure was also a little fluttering, her eyes were blank, Qi Yun hurriedly stepped forward and sat in front of the table at the window.

The principal puffed out a cigarette, looked up and said, "You know everything?" ”

The principal's daughter-in-law sighed sadly, "Evil", and then told the principal and Qi Yun about Fangqin one by one.
