Not only was Chen Chuan confused, but even Fang Ping and Song Jia looked at each other suspiciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Rely on yourself......" Chen Chuan pointed to himself, and then found that Zhao Mo, who was sitting opposite, nodded his head and said, "Yes, rely on yourself." ”

"Actually, I want to work in the past." Chen Chuan hesitated and spoke, "It's a small restaurant near the school or something, thinking about going to work at noon and night, but later I found out that it was impossible, because when the small restaurant was busy at noon, we were still in class, not to mention in the afternoon, we were still in class when we were eating, and we were studying at night when people were selling supper, so it was impossible for me to run out to work without class, right?" He smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I was thinking that I couldn't do it, I won't go to high school this year, I will go out to work with my third uncle first, and then wait for my dad to heal, and then come back to school next year......"

Zhao Mo shook his head, and he calmly told Chen Chuan: "It's impossible for you to do these two ways. The first impossible reason has been said by yourself, and the second impossible reason is very simple, once you leave the school environment, do you think you can still read the book? It's impossible, the simple environment of the school is the place to study, what can you do when you go out to work? Most of them followed your uncle to work on the construction site, and the heavy physical labor was very tiring, Chen Chuan, don't think you have the perseverance to persevere, it's impossible. ”

As soon as his words fell, Fang Ping picked it up and continued: "And Chen Chuan, you have no education and no skills, even if you go to work, you can only do the dirtiest and hardest work, and those wages are also the lowest." If you think about it, you can be freed from your current suffering as long as you persist for a year, but if you can't persevere now, maybe you will have to persist for ten or even twenty years in the future to be freed. ”

Song Jia nodded again and again, and continued with Fang Ping, one by one: "They are right! Chen Chuan, my father often told me that the most risk-free investment in the world is studying, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded. Your grades are not bad now, stick to it for a year, and the rate of return is so high! ”

Chen Chuan's words obviously moved Chen Chuan, but the real problems will not disappear because of the encouragement of friends. Chen Chuan smiled bitterly, "I know what you say," he hugged his knees and shrunk himself up, "But I really can't help it, I really can't think of any other way to solve the problem I encountered." As he spoke, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell his friends what he had heard from his third uncle and his father Chen Aiguo: "Actually...... It's not completely impossible to ......"

After listening to Chen Chuan's words, Zhao Mo thought about it and first came to the conclusion: "That is, our Vice Principal Chen is a relative of your family?" ”

Song Jia was very happy, and said again and again: "Chen Chuan, isn't this just help!" This is a real relative! ”

Fang Ping is relatively more thoughtful and realistic. He frowned and spoke, "I think Song Jia, you were happy too early. He also explained: "This kind of relative who has not been in contact for 800 years is not as reliable as a neighbor!" Neighbors may have to help you in trouble, and you don't know where to find this kind of relative! Although Principal Chen is Chen Chuan's uncle, Chen Chuan also said that the relationship between the two families is not very good! ”

"Anyway, it's a no-brainer." Zhao Mo made a final decision, "I personally suggest that Chen Chuan should still give it a try." He said calmly: "Although I think it may make Chen Chuan feel embarrassed, but sometimes, people don't have the right to be willful." ”

Chen Chuan's face was pale, he was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "I don't think I have the courage to go to Principal Chen's house. The frustration in his voice was obviously excessive, "What kind of relative is this?" There was no contact at all, and I had never heard of it until my uncle and dad told me. I never toasted him, nor did I call him Uncle Seven, and now that he is in trouble, he finds someone's door and goes up, this is really ......" He frowned and thought for a while, and finally spit out three words: "It's too much." ”

Several others fell silent. Even though they are young people who don't know the world, but at least the human feelings are still a little clear, Chen Chuan said very reasonably, put yourself in your shoes, a relative who has never been in contact with you suddenly came to you for help, if you still take it for granted, then you really don't know how thick your skin is, how shameless you can do it.

"But......" Zhao Mo hesitated, "this method is actually the best." He also knew that this matter was difficult, but he still insisted on his opinion, he looked at Chen Chuan, then at Fang Ping and Song Jia, and analyzed little by little: "After all, Principal Chen and Chen Chuan are relatives, of course, the relationship may be a little farther away, but Chen Chuan, didn't you also say that Principal Chen took his family back to his hometown ten years ago?" I think that although it was ten years ago, it at least shows that President Chen is not a person who forgets his roots. ”

This sentence made Chen Chuan's face a lot better - it was one thing that he was unwilling to ask someone, and it was another thing if the other party was a person who forgot his roots.

Seeing that his words were recognized by others, Zhao Mo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and continued: "I think Principal Chen is likely to have seen Chen Chuan when he was a child, if your father has an impression of him, it at least means that they crossed paths ten years ago, even if they talked and ate together, it can be regarded as friendship, not to mention that his relationship with your father is even closer, and he is a cousin who has not come out of Wufu." ”

"Well, you go on." Chen Chuan felt that what Zhao Mo said might indeed have some truth, so he nodded involuntarily and urged Zhao Mo to continue.

Chen Chuan's recognition gave Zhao Mo considerable encouragement, so he finished the rest of the words in one go: "The last thing I want to say is that Chen Chuan, as a very talented junior, is now in trouble, I think if Principal Chen knows, he won't fail to reach out, not to mention that Chen Chuan is still his student!" ”

These words moved the three of them, and a glimmer of hope rose in Chen Chuan's heart, "Then you mean to suggest that I go to Principal Chen for help?" Chen Chuan was still a little hesitant, and he asked Zhao Mo: "But, what should I ask the principal for help?" ”

Zhao Mo took a breath and said solemnly to Chen Chuan: "What I want to say to you now, you must not be angry after hearing it." ”

Chen Chuan had a bad premonition in his heart, and soon Zhao Mo's words confirmed his premonition: "Maybe, the only thing you can ask the principal for help is to borrow money." ”

There was silence in the room. It was late, and the light that had leaked in through the window before—the shadowy headlights, the lights of the city, the streetlights on the roadside, was now fading, and the moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight was cold and light, pouring in through the window. Through the moonlight, the teenagers see the painful present of their friends and the gloomy future.

"Borrow money...... Song Jia hesitated, "this," he said tactfully, "isn't it good?" ”

Because both his father and mother are engaged in money-related work, Song Jia has been particularly sensitive to money transactions since he was a child. When he was very young, Song Chu told him that he would rather lend money to others than borrow money from others until the last resort. Because it's something that will make you feel ashamed and feel inferior, so, don't borrow money, and if there's really no way, be open-minded, look at it directly, and don't put any pressure on yourself.

But it was precisely the last point that Song Jia felt that it was difficult for Chen Chuan to do.

As a friend, Song Jia was able to say a lot of Chen Chuan's advantages in one breath: seriousness, hard work, diligence, gratitude, etc.; However, he can also say many of Chen Chuan's shortcomings in one breath: sensitivity, low self-esteem, calculating, especially stinginess, which is the most deadly.

This stinginess does not mean that Chen Chuan is stingy. As a child from a peasant family, Chen Chuan has done the most generous he can do, he treats his friends warmly, he has a point, and he can't wait to give a dime to his friends, but because of the problem of knowledge, Chen Chuan's pattern is not very big, he is stubborn and conservative, and he has always had a vigilance and defense against new things that should not appear at his age.

Song Jia discovered a long time ago that it was difficult for Chen Chuan to accept the kindness given by others. If some people don't like to accept other people's kindness just because of their upbringing and self-esteem, then Chen Chuan's refusal is more out of a kind of small-scale peasant consciousness -- I accept other people's kindness, so I have to return the favor. And the reality of poverty makes Chen Chuan subconsciously refuse any behavior that may lead to giving, which is very contradictory to his enthusiasm for his friends, but it is not incomprehensible.

Therefore, when Zhao Mo suggested that maybe Chen Chuan had to borrow money from Principal Chen, Song Jia was keenly aware that Chen Chuan could not accept this proposal.

And as it turned out, he was not mistaken.

Chen Chuan remained silent after Zhao Mo finished speaking. Others nervously waited for him to make a decision. There seemed to be something in the air that had been tense all the time, and it seemed that it would break at any moment - Chen Chuan finally spoke after a long silence: "No. He said.

Zhao Mo was not surprised, and didn't even show such an expression, but just said lightly: "Yes." And he spoke no more.

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Fang Ping coughed, "I don't think there's anything bad about Zhao Mo's suggestion." He began by saying clearly: "Indeed, if Principal Chen does not borrow money, then Chen Chuan will not be able to help the principal find it." Fang Ping felt that this question was simply obvious: "For example, the bursary, if I remember correctly, Principal Chen is in charge of teaching tasks, right?" There was no such administrative matter at all, and it was as if another vice-chancellor was in charge. ”

"Moreover, I don't think we made one thing clear from the beginning," Fang Ping changed his usual grinning expression, and said very seriously: "What does Chen Chuan need now-maybe you will say that you need help, I don't think it is at all, Chen Chuan now, to put it bluntly, needs money!" ”
