After several days, Fang Xinning still had an indescribable heaviness in his heart. Since graduating from college, it has been four and a half years of struggle, but it is still so slim for the Ji family to accept themselves.

Coming to the principal's office, Fang Xinning reported some of the team's work and plans to President Cheng. Facing his teacher and such an amiable elder, he really wanted to get a clear answer from Principal Cheng. He told Teacher Cheng about Ji Meiting, but he said that he was one of his classmates. He thought: If he said it was himself, he would definitely make the teacher worry about him, and it would be inconvenient for the teacher to say some things that were to the point.

"A deputy mayor's daughter has a crush on your classmate?" Principal Cheng said, "It means that your classmate is quite good." Fang Xinning added: "No, her father was the Minister of Propaganda at that time. Principal Cheng asked, "What about your classmate?" Fang Xinning said: "I...... It's about the same as me, rural. "That's it. I'm afraid ......" Principal Cheng stopped talking.

Fang Xinning hurriedly asked, "I'm afraid of what?" Principal Cheng said: "Good things are destined to grind a lot, as long as you are not afraid of difficulties, there will definitely be haode results." Why don't I tell me about that time, maybe it will help him. When I was young, the ingredients were not good, and it was very difficult to find a daughter-in-law. I went to school for a few years, and the brigade -- which was later called 'village' -- arranged for me to become a teacher. At that time, we shared an elementary school with a nearby brigade. The militia company commander of that brigade had a daughter named Wang Ling, who also worked as a teacher in this elementary school. Because we are often together, back and forth, we get better. She often brought me food to school and often helped me with my laundry. He took a sip of water.

Fang Xinning couldn't wait to ask, "What happened later?" ”

Principal Cheng said, "Later, our story reached her father's ears. Her father resolutely disagreed with the two of us being together, and found our secretary to withdraw me from school to the production team. In the production team, I worked with the strong laborers, ploughing, digging manure, bulldozing, cutting wheat, and doing all kinds of rough work. One day, Wang Ling secretly came to me and asked me to take her out to secretly register her marriage. At that time, our ingredients were not good, where did we dare? And she cried. Her father didn't know who he had heard, so he brought someone to arrest her. ”

"And what about later?" Fang Xinning asked.

Principal Cheng said: "Her father found a family and married her. Later, the state reinstated the college entrance examination. After withdrawing me from school to the production team, we always felt sorry for me, so we tried to let me take the exam. I was admitted, finished school, and was assigned to our town's middle school. There, I met a rural girl near the school, who is your current teacher. ”

Fang Xinning asked, "What about Wang Ling?" Principal Cheng said, "Her husband was a mason who was relatively wealthy at the time, but he died of tuberculosis soon after. She raised her son alone. Her son was admitted to university and settled in the provincial capital after graduation. She now lives with his son. ”

Fang Xinning said: "If you say this, I, my classmate, will have no hope. Fang Xinning said this, feeling sad for himself in his heart. He didn't want to replicate Principal Cheng's experience in his own body.

"Times are different, and things can't be generalized, but marriage is not a child's play after all, you better advise him to be cautious. Everyone is pursuing aiqing, but we need marriage even more, and unfortunately, the two are often not the same thing, so most people have to face one or another choice. Your wife is uneducated, but she is honest and kind, she is a good hand at life, and she never lets me touch my hands in and out of work, and she really eats to the mouth. Married at the age of thirty and had a son at the age of thirty-one," Principal Cheng said with a smile on his face, "If this is happiness, then I am very happy, and it is a very down-to-earth happiness." ”

Fang Xinning said: "Your story is a comedy after all. ”

Principal Cheng said: "Sometimes when I think about it, I feel sorry for Wang Ling. If I had taken the initiative at the time, maybe it wouldn't be the way it is now. Think about it, a big man, no girl has taken the initiative to ......" Fang Xinning said: "But, if you marry Wang Ling, what kind of ending will it be?" It's just that the next life of coolie there, or better, the private teacher has become a regular teacher, and he still teaches in the village primary school for a lifetime. Principal Cheng said, "Then who can tell?" This may be called fate. ”

At this time, the phone in the office rang, and it was the Education Bureau's feedback on the results of the investigation on the study tour in Yanhuiling Village. After careful investigation by the Education Bureau, it was confirmed that the fact that a teacher at Taiyun School organized students to donate money to their relatives that was reported some time ago was purely false.

It is certainly not surprising that the Education Bureau attaches such importance to extracurricular activities. One year, when a school in Xin County organized an outing, a student died accidentally, so the bureau required that all activities where students go out collectively must be declared first. It is precisely for this reason that many schools, in order to avoid responsibility, do more than less, and simply stop organizing students' extracurricular activities.

The trip of the wild goose back to Ling Village has become a memory worthy of Fang Xinning's eternal cherishing.

Fang Xinning told Principal Cheng about the situation reported by Si Wenjin. Listening to his description, Principal Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I know who it is?" ”

Fang Xinning asked, "Who?" ”

"Ren Nande!" Principal Cheng said.

Fang Xinning didn't know Ren Nande, and he didn't want to know why he repeatedly made things difficult for Taiyun School. But the story told by Principal Cheng made Fang Xinning think about it for a longer time. Principal Cheng's "life" is not bad, but what about his own?

He sent a text message to Ji Meiting: Should I take the initiative to visit your house?
