Chapter 7: A Secret
It's the end of January, and it's about to be the New Year, but for many high school students like Zhang Han, this also means that the final exam is coming soon.
Although the atmosphere in the classroom has become tense because of the approaching exam, Zhang Han has not changed much from before, one is because of his confidence in his own strength, and the other is that in Zhang Han's opinion, academic performance only shows a certain aspect of the problem, and he does not pay too much attention to it, but Lin Yan is different, looking at her who is immersed in studying, Zhang Han is a little worried.
"Come with me to the playground." After the first night of self-study, Zhang Han called Lin Yan to go out and relax...
Although Lin Yan still wanted to continue reading, she couldn't resist Zhang Han, so she had to follow her to the playground, and the two of them walked slowly on the track.
"It's not that you don't know your grades, you don't need to say that it's a surprise before the exam, right? Why do you still study for a while, you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. ”
After listening to Zhang Han's words, Lin Yan said after a long time: "You should know that my family situation is not very good, my father died of illness a few years ago, my mother was laid off from her job unsatisfactory, and I also have a younger brother who is in junior high school... I want to change these situations with my own hands, I don't have any strengths, so I can only study hard to get into a good university and get a good job in the future..."
Through Lin Yan's eyes, Zhang Han understood the reserve and persistence, but Zhang Han felt that she was still so weak, and reached out to hold Lin Yan's hand: "Even so, you must pay attention to your body, what if your body collapses?" If there is any difficulty, tell me that I can help you..."
Maybe it's because of the temperature from Zhang Han's hands, or maybe it's because of his comforting words, which made Lin Yan feel a little warmer, and the pressure in her heart seemed to be much less...
However, although Zhang Han persuaded Lin Yan so much, Lin Yan continued to study hard, but when appropriate, she would go to the playground to run and exercise. He is also very helpless about this Zhang Han, he does have the ability to help Lin Yan, but he knows that if he helps her financially, he will not like it with Lin Yan's personality...
Since the last fight, Zhang Han has rarely seen Xu Qiang, after all, they both have their own pace of life, plus if one person does not deliberately wait for another person, it is so difficult to meet fate, even if they live in the same courtyard, not to mention that both of them are a little deliberately avoidant; At the beginning, Wang Hao also waited at the gate of the courtyard early, wanting to wait for the three of them together, but when the waiting one knew that he would have to wait for the other, the one who arrived first always had various reasons to go first...
It's not that Zhang Hanxin is small, not to mention that he is just a good friend to Tang Yajing, but the reason why he is like this is because he feels that Xu Qiang has opinions about him, so he wants to downplay it at this stage, and he doesn't want the relationship between the two people to rise to the level of contradiction and conflict because of this matter; And Xu Qiang has his own reasons... So the two of them are like this, from the original close friends to a little drifting apart, Wang Hao has no way to deal with the two.
"Mouse, I'm going to buy a bicycle today, I'm in a bit of a hurry to walk to school, do you have an idea?" Xu Qiang said to Wang Hao.
"It's good to walk and exercise."
"You just don't want to buy and go with me? Maybe you'll have an idea then? ”
Wang Hao was silent for a while and said, "I really don't understand, so why don't you just talk about something?" Zhang Han himself has no idea about Tang Yajing, what's in the way of you? ”
"Why don't you buy a bicycle like this?" Xu Qiang was a little unhappy when he heard Wang Hao's words, "You mean that I have a small belly and chicken intestines?" I just can't get used to what he pretends to be high? It's not that he doesn't understand, it's interesting to pretend not to make Tang Yajing sad? ”
"The three of us grew up together, what kind of person he is, you should be clear, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"When did you get so inky?" After speaking, Xu Qiang, who was impatient, left by himself.
Looking at Xu Qiang in the distance, Wang Hao muttered to himself: "Master, I really regret learning from you now, you taught me divination, physiognomy, bone touching, and the four pillars of life... But you told me that my fate is inviolable, are you making me experience all kinds of life suffering? I'd rather not see...
"Why are you here?" Lin Yan, who had just gone out in the morning to go to school, found that Zhang Han was holding the stop at the corner of her house.
"I'm passing by..."
"Do you think I believe it, I don't know where your home is, you passed by here early in the morning?"
Zhang Han himself felt that this reason was very ridiculous, scratched his head and said truthfully: "Actually, I am here to pick you up from school, your home is far away from the school, and it is more time saving for me to pick you up than if you go to school by yourself, so you can rest for a while..."
"What about you? Don't you think that's going to put a lot of pressure on me? ”
"It's okay, I'm used to getting up early to exercise..."
After hesitating for a while, Lin Yan still got into Zhang Han's car.
"Ah, for you." Zhang Han, who was riding a car, handed Lin Yan a bag.
"What's that?"
"I heard from the doctor that this ointment is very effective in treating frostbite, and when I pulled your hand that night, I saw that your hand felt that it should be frostbitten, and I thought that you helped your mother out of the stall and accidentally got frostbitten..."
Listening to what Zhang Han said, Lin Yan felt warm in her heart, she felt that her resistance to Zhang Han was getting lower and lower, maybe she would really fall...
Time has many characteristics, when people are busy, they find that it passes quickly, the final exam ends unconsciously, and the busyness of the students comes to a temporary end with the end of the final exam.
"This time, the students in our class did well in the exam, especially Lin Yan, who won the first place in the grade.!" , accompanied by the words of the head teacher Liu Guo, there was a round of applause in the classroom, Lin Yan was also very happy to hear this achievement, and her cheeks were flushed; After that, Liu Guoqiang announced the results of the top 20 students in the class in turn, as an incentive measure. Zhang Han's grades are also good: third in the class and twentieth in the grade. After announcing the results, Liu Guoqiang said some precautions and announced the end of school, and the long-awaited winter vacation of the students began.
When there was no one left, Lin Yan walked not far from the school gate, and Zhang Han had been waiting there for a long time, and picking up Lin Yan every day had become a new habit in Zhang Han. Because of this, Zhang Han went back late for many nights, so he was complained by Zhang Ruoxuan...
"What are you going to do during the winter break?"
"Help my mother out of the stall and study."
"Isn't this life too monotonous?"
"I'm used to it, and it's good that way..."
Hearing Lin Yan say this, Zhang Han paused and said, "Can I go to see you?" ”
Lin Yan, who was sitting in the back of the car, didn't speak for a long time.
"I'm acquiescing to you."
……
Zhang Han, who returned home after sending Lin Yan, found that it was rare for his parents to go home so early. After all, today is the New Year, so Zhang Mo and his wife, who usually rarely take care of Zhang Han's brothers and sisters, also went home early to prepare a sumptuous dinner in the evening. Because the family is at home, the atmosphere at home is very warm, and I can taste my father's specialty sauerkraut fish at the dinner table.
"Dad, this sauerkraut fish is still delicious enough for you."
"Then eat more." Zhang Mo, who poured himself wine, said happily to his son.
"Mom, your ribs are delicious." Zhang Ruoxuan also praised her mother's craftsmanship...
The family was happily eating, and the phone rang in the living room, and it was Gong Nanqian's mobile phone ringing. Zhang's mother left the dining table to answer the phone, and after a while came out of the living room, her face was very ugly.
"Mom, what's wrong? Uncomfortable? Zhang Ruoxuan, who saw her mother's bad face, asked.
"It's fine." After saying that, Gong Nanqian returned to her bedroom, and after Zhang's father and children signaled, they also entered the bedroom. A warm dinner was just like this, which made the Zhang Han brothers and sisters lose their appetite and returned to their respective rooms...
"Is it a call from over there?" Zhang's father, who rarely smoked, lit a cigarette and sat on the chair next to the bed and asked.
"Yes." Gong Nanqian, who was lying on the bed, replied.
"What did you say?"
"Want my son! But it can't be! With that, the angry Gong Nanqian sat up.
Looking at his angry wife, Zhang's father was silent for a while: "Don't get excited, it's okay, don't worry, it won't have any impact on Zhang Han." ”
"I only have such a son, and I won't let him leave me." After speaking, Gong Nanqian turned her back and stopped talking, while Father Zhang sat in the chair and smoked silently, and the bedroom fell silent...
The next day, Zhang Han was brought to the company by his mother very early, and let him study with him as before, but this time the education was stricter than before, and more company processes, Gong Nanqian also let Zhang Han participate more deeply; At the same time, Zhang Han's account was injected with 5 million RMB, in addition to allowing him to continue to go deep into the stock market, began to guide the contact with the foreign exchange and futures markets, Zhang Han once again reflected his financial talent in these, and soon, he also began to make gains, throughout the holiday, Zhang Han spent every day under his mother's high-intensity training, so that he did not have time to find Lin Yan...
At the end of the winter vacation, the cash in Zhang Han's account has reached 9 million RMB, deducting the previous cost, in just one month, as high as more than 40% of the yield, so that other investors know that it must be incredible, but Zhang's mother still seems to be not very satisfied with Zhang Han's performance, which also makes Zhang Han feel inexplicable, how can he satisfy his mother?
School started, Zhang Han finally "escaped" from his mother's high-pressure training, and went to Lin Yan's house to pick her up from school as before...
"How are you doing this winter vacation?"
"As plain as ever, how about you?"
"I was caught by my mother, I've been busy with various things, I'm more tired than usual in class, and I'm also drunk."
Hearing Zhang Han say this, Lin Yan also understood why Zhang Han didn't come to see her as he said when he first went on vacation. I didn't see Zhang Han for a holiday, Lin Yan thought... Now she has to admit that Zhang Han really began to occupy a very important position in her heart, because Zhang Han did not take the initiative to find herself during a winter vacation, and she didn't feel anything at first, but after a long time, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time. In the classroom, the students discussed their holiday life with each other, and it was not until the teacher walked in that the classroom gradually quieted down...
