When Via returned to the village, it was still early, and everywhere was quiet, only the cattle and sheep were grazing on the hillside, but no one was seen. Via, carrying a schoolbag of textbooks on her shoulders, got off the bus with her school uniform in her hand, and walked slowly up the mountain.

From a distance, she saw Chief Philip and Theo coming out of the chief's office, and the two were talking about something. Chief Philip saw Via first and smiled and beckoned to her.

Theo, who had his back to Via, also turned around and looked at her approaching with a large schoolbag on her back.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Philip," Via said hello to the village chief and looked at Theo, "Hi, Theo." ”

Mr. Philip asked her, "Just got back from school?" ”

"yes, school early."

"I'll help you get something," Theo said, naturally taking the bag of school uniforms in Via's hand, Via's stunned for a moment, and then decisively took off the schoolbag and stuffed it into him.

She moved her sore shoulder, "much easier." ”

Mr. Philip watched the interaction between the two young men with a smile in his eyes, no wonder Theo felt a little more cheerful to him now than before, it turned out to be the credit of this girl.

Mr. Philip did not want to be a light bulb, and he said to Theo, "The money for the replacement will arrive about the 4th of next month." ”

Theo nodded, "Well, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"You send Miss Levitt home today, and we'll talk about the rest next time."

Saying goodbye to the village chief, Via and Theo walked on the way up the mountain, Via's height was about to Theo's shoulders, both of them were slender figures, and they were also black-haired, and the aura around them was also very suitable, the man carried the girl's schoolbag on one shoulder, and the girl looked up to him from time to time to talk to him, and there was only a small distance between the two, and there was a pleasing feeling when they walked together.

Via asked Theo curiously, "The village chief still owes you wages?" ”

"No, the state government recently raised the salaries of forest rangers, starting from January of the previous year."

"It's a salary increase, that's great, and the two years of salary increases add up to a lot of money," Viagra was happy for Theo, in fact, the salary of a forest ranger is not low, but in Switzerland, as long as you have a proper job, you will not have a bad life. Dick disliked Theo's poverty from the standpoint of the rancher's son.

But Theo was calm about the salary increase, at least not happy.

In fact, the living conditions in the orphanage are very good, and as an orphan, Theo has not tasted the taste of being underfed and clothed, that is, after being kicked out of the orphanage, his life was more difficult. Perhaps, this is why his biological parents abandoned him in Switzerland.

"I've been busy with school lately, so I don't have time to look for you," explained Via, who had told Theo to come back in a few days before she left. As a result, those days became more than ten days, until today.

"It's okay."

Theo's tone was very flat, but Via inexplicably felt that he still cared, she looked at the shadow of his long eyelashes drooping, and the light pursing of his lips, and felt guilty,

"What's your phone number?" Viya pulls out the new phone John bought for her, and she can call even if she can't meet in person.

Unexpectedly, Theo said, "I don't have a cell phone." ”

The cell phone has no effect on Theo, and usually no one will contact him except Mr. Philip.

"Okay," Via silently put down her phone.

Theo saw the disappointment in her eyes, and his heart moved, "Do you want a landline number?" ”

Via nodded repeatedly, "Yes, of course." ”

As soon as she had memorized the number, she looked up and saw Dick standing in front of her with a disgraced face.

Worst.

Dick strode up to Theo, snatched Via's schoolbag and coat bag from his hand, and looked cold, "Please stay away from my sister." ”

Via panicked, "Dick, he didn't"

Dick turned to her, "Shut up." ”

Angry Dick, not to mess with.

Via didn't dare to speak.

Theo didn't say anything, just looked at Veya deeply, his eyes reserved, and then he walked around them and continued to walk up the mountain.

All the way home, Dick didn't say a word to Via.

While eating dinner, John and Manina noticed a problem between their two children.

"What's wrong with you? Could it be in the Cold War? "Manina looked at her son, and then at her adopted daughter.

Dick and Via glanced at each other, then tilted their heads to one side again.

The childish table xiàn made Manina and John laugh,

"Who's going to explain to me what the hell is going on?" John said in a loud voice, asking by name, "Via, aren't you happy at your new school?" ”

Wei Ya immediately said, "No, no, the school is very good, and the classmates are very friendly." ”

"Then why did you suddenly become like this? It's been fine in the morning. ”

"Dick doesn't like me making friends," Viagh complained first.

Dick immediately retorted, "What kind of friend did you make, that kind of person of unknown origin, aren't you afraid that he will be uneasy and kind to you?" ”

"Wait, what are you talking about? Who is Via's friend? The Johns were confused.

Dick said with a cold face, "She was very close to the ranger in the forest area, and there were some jokes along the way. ”

Ma Nina burst out laughing, "Via's new friend is ignoring you, you shouldn't be able to taste it, right?" ”

"Mom," Dick was speechless.

John listened to Dick's words, and asked Viya how he met the ranger, and Viya said the same thing.

John didn't want Via to have anything to do with the ranger either, but he was more optimistic than Dick, saying, "It's okay, there are few peers in the village, and Viya can't find friends, and when she gets acquainted with her classmates at school and makes new friends, she will naturally take the initiative to stay away from the ranger." ”

Via wants to say that Theo is really not as bad as you think, but she also knows that no one will believe her, and once prejudices are formed, it is difficult to change.

The cold war between Via and Dick lasted only one night, the brother and sister did not have an overnight feud, and both of them were open-minded people, and the next morning, when they met in the hallway, they both smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't speak well yesterday, but I'm doing it for your good," Dick still insisted.

Viagha nodded, "I know, I know," she didn't want to argue with Dick anymore, so she had to give in first.

She already felt that in this family, the man was still stronger and played a leading role. In big things, it was John who made the final decision, and Manina couldn't object, and Dick completely inherited his father's character.

Wei Ya didn't wear local clothes today, and changed into the school uniform of Roy Middle School, a white shirt, a black thin cardigan, a black skirt, and a school emblem pinned to her chest.

Ma Nina sighed, "We look good in whatever we wear." ”

John wondered how the distant cousin, whom he hadn't seen a few times, could have such good genes.

And Dick had a hunch that a small place like theirs might not be able to keep Via.

Between classes, Jenny walked up to Via's desk and put her hands in front of her, "Honestly, you shouldn't be the kind of lady who is the daughter of a hidden rich family, right?" It's the first time I've felt that our school's uniforms are so classy. ”

When I was in class just now, the eyes of the male classmates in the class couldn't help but look at Wei Ya, everyone was wearing school uniforms, only she was very different.

Wei Ya laughed, "If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, I would be homeless, what else are you talking about?" ”

Maybe in her previous life, she could barely be regarded as a rich lady, but now, she is just an ordinary peasant girl.

Jenny didn't believe it in her heart, the richer people are now, the more plain and low-key they are, and these people also like to call themselves countrymen.

"Oh, an orphan is still delusional about pretending to be a celebrity, and he can't do anything about himself," a sneer came from behind them.

Via turned around, and Vanessa stood in her seat with her arms crossed, her eyes painted with beautiful makeup looking at her with disdain.

Wei Ya didn't expect Vanessa to attack her directly, and before she could speak, Jenny said, "Tsk, it's so ugly to say, you shouldn't be jealous of Weiya, right?" ”

"I'm jealous of her?" Vanessa seemed to hear a big joke, "She's a village girl who can't even speak German, and she deserves my jealousy?" ”

Indeed, Vanessa's conditions were much better than Via's, her mother had studied in France, she was a famous beauty in her youth, her father was the mayor of a town, and even Monsieur Philippe had to obey her father's orders.

Vanessa inherited her mother's beauty, her father's wisdom, she can sing and dance, can play a good piano, and her academic performance has always been very good, is Mr. Luca's most satisfactory student, Mr. Luca is even ready to recommend her to Oxford University, you must know that Roy High School has not produced a prestigious college student for a long time.

What's more, Vanessa is a heartthrob, and all of the five male classmates in the class, except for Thomas, have had a crush on her.

So how could Vanessa, who was used to being in the limelight, tolerate being taken away from the limelight by Via.

Jenny still wants to reason with Vanessa, and Via quickly pulls her back, "Forget it," in a purely persuasive tone, as if the person concerned was not her, but Janie.

Jenny saw Via's smiling face, "Aren't you angry?" ”

"I don't think there's anything to be angry about."

Jenny was incredulous at Via's good temper.

Jenny doesn't understand, Wei Ya is not good-tempered, but she doesn't take Vanessa to heart at all, and Wei Ya is really not interested in the jealousy of middle school students.

If one side is arrogant and domineering, and the other side ignores it, it will definitely not be able to make trouble, and others will have no excitement to see.

However, at least Via knew that Vanessa didn't like her, whether it was her mother Lilia's gossip behind her back, or just Vanessa's personal behavior, it didn't matter.
