Class 3 (Zero) Teacher's Office.

"Go back and think about it again." The physics teacher, who was also the head teacher, waved his hand to Lu Xi a little weakly.

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Lu Xi nodded, thanked him politely, and turned to leave.

After Lu Xi left, because the persuasion work had been going on for too long, the physics teacher, who was so dry, poured himself a glass of water, drank several big sips, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and then said helplessly: "At a young age, why is it like an old stubborn man with a granite head." ”

"Teacher Wang, it's a good thing that students have their own ideas." Mr. Lin, the chemistry teacher next to him, smiled and said.

"I think she's just too thoughtful, and in the end she delays herself." After the physics teacher sighed, his spirit rose again, "No, you have to inform the parents, this is simply irresponsible and laissez-faire." ”

Lu Xi, who left the teacher's office, walked very slowly.

Filling in "High School Affiliated to Hwaseong Normal University" on the volunteer card would cause so many twists and turns, which she didn't expect before filling in the volunteer.

But no matter how far-reaching the twists and turns were, and how great the external pressure was, she had no idea of changing her mind.

Setting a goal and moving forward unswervingly is something that has been clearly considered for a long time.

Besides, that's the best high school, isn't it?

Lu Xi smiled, a real smile from the bottom of his heart from the inside out.

On that day, after evening self-study, Lu Xi and Lu Zichuan took the bus home as usual, pushed open the door, and saw her eldest brother Lu Pingsheng sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Lu Pingsheng saw Lu Xi and Lu Zichuan coming in, and immediately stood up from the sofa: "I'm back." ”

Lu Zichuan sighed and went straight back to the room.

Lu Xi glanced at the house, the sister-in-law was not there, she was a little strange, looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, it seemed that she was waiting for her to come back: "Well, hasn't the sister-in-law come back yet?" ”

"Business is good, it won't close until a little later tonight." Lu Pingsheng replied happily, then remembered something and said, "By the way, my mother asked me to tell you and call her." ”

"Now?" Lu Xi asked, I heard that she was calling "mother", and she was a little nervous for no reason.

"Yes, she's been telling me for a day, I'll fight now." Lu Pingsheng explained, and at the end, he added two more sentences, "You are at school during the day, and you don't have a mobile phone, so you can only call now." Mom slept late, and now it won't bother her. ”

During this time, in order to save time, Lu Xi went out early and returned late, three meals a day, except for breakfast, which was solved at home, lunch and dinner were eaten in the school canteen.

Lu Xi glanced at the clock in the living room, ten twenty o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, it is not too late for students who are accustomed to wearing the stars and the moon, but it is slightly later for residents living in rural areas.

In the countryside, young people have gone out to explore the world, and most of the people who stay behind in their hometowns are the elderly and children, and people in this age group can't stay up late, and by nine o'clock in the evening, they have generally fallen asleep.

"You call, I'll help your sister-in-law close the store." Lu Pingsheng said, and hurriedly walked out of the door.

Lu Xi took the backpack back to the room and put it away, returned to the living room, hesitated, picked up the microphone of the landline, and it was a little heavy.

Looking at the number buttons on the landline, before I could remember, a string of phone numbers automatically jumped out of my mind.

She took a deep breath and pressed the number on the landline with her slightly trembling fingers.

When it was time to call, another memory came to her mind.

In this era of smartphones, the survival rate of landlines is getting lower and lower. The eldest brother's family, everyone has a mobile phone, and the sister-in-law even has three because of business needs.

But this landline in the living room, which is a bit old, has "survived" in the cracks. Speaking of which, thanks to Lu Xi.

Because Lu Xi doesn't have a mobile phone, it's not that he can't afford to use it, but he refuses to use a mobile phone, in order to be able to keep in touch, his mother Deng Yufang asked his eldest brother Lu Pingsheng to keep a landline.

is also because of this landline, the sister-in-law nags a lot when she is unhappy.

After the number was pressed, Lu Xi didn't wait long, and the phone was immediately connected. She could imagine an old man on the other end of the line, waiting for her call.

"Hey, are you embarrassed?"

Unlike other memories that are a little vague even if they remain, this voice is so familiar that it makes people cry. There was a warm current in Lu Xi's heart, and the feelings that were still a little nervous just now calmed down suddenly, and countless desires poured out.

"It's me."

"Did you just come back from self-study at night?"

"Hmm."

"I didn't come back until so late for self-study last night, and I had to eat something before I went to sleep, you know?"

"Yes."

"Your eldest brother said that you have lost a lot of weight, is it that you study too hard and have no appetite to eat?"

It seems that the eldest brother and sister-in-law did not tell the family about their accidental injuries and hospitalization, otherwise my mother would not have spoken in this tone, and it is very likely that she would have been "killed" long ago. Thinking of this, Lu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, you can eat two bowls per meal."

"It's a good thing to be able to eat, mental work is hard, nutrition keeps up, so you can concentrate on learning, and it's not good to learn when you're hungry."

Deng Yufang's nagging was meticulous, but Lu Xi's response was very simple. Soon, Deng Yufang discovered this change in Lu Xi.

Because when the two talked on the phone in the past, Lu Xi in the past was indispensable in front of Deng Yufang. But now Lu Xi is silent, Deng Yufang said for several minutes before she could respond to one or two sentences, and even if it was one or two sentences, there were often only a few words.

Of course, Lu Xi also understands this, it is normal for a little girl to be coquettish in front of her mother, but the problem is that she is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

There is a saying that it is best to spoil a woman, and a coquettish man is dead.

If she lets her be coquettish, will she take someone else's life, she doesn't know, but she can definitely take her own life.

Therefore, even if he is suspected because of his coldness, he can only hold on.

Just treat it as a pre-exam syndrome, and if you are misunderstood, you will be misunderstood.

"Sorry, aren't you happy?"

"No, that's it."

"Xixi, don't blame your mother and your second brother and third brother for not calling you, we are afraid that we will call too much, you are upset, and there is pressure."

Hearing this slightly emotional sentence, Lu Xi instantly understood why it had been so long, and none of the relatives in her hometown had called "her". It turned out that it was not that he didn't fight, but that he was afraid that he would fight too often, which would invisibly put too much pressure on "her".

Especially "she", who is a very strong girl.

Sometimes, care can turn into a burden, just as happiness can turn into annoyance.

"What's the pressure, it's just the high school entrance examination, don't think nonsense."

"It's fine if you don't have it, and you don't have to think about it. How do you usually learn, how do you still learn now, with my daughter's intelligence and beauty, what school can't be passed? ”

"Hmm." Lu Xi replied very seriously and solemnly.

As for the relationship between beauty and grades, she can only think that there is a proportional relationship.

In the process of making the phone call, Lu Xi thought that her mother would ask her about filling in the volunteers, but she didn't expect to ask, and she didn't even mention a word about the high school entrance examination.

During this phone call, Deng Yufang said and asked a lot of things, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Xi would have to go to school tomorrow, it might last for an hour or two, or even two or three hours.

The power of this telephone porridge is not comparable to ordinary people.

Even so, in the end, he spoke for more than half an hour, and Deng Yufang reluctantly told a few words and hung up the phone.
