chapter 5
"Shu Jin" A deep voice sounded from the closed carriage, which was very magnetic and comfortable to listen to.
Shu Jin remembered that at this time yesterday, a boy also called her that. The two are contrasted, one is clear and the other is low; A young man, a mature man; It's a different feeling, Shu Jin thinks, the latter is more sexy.
Seeing that the girl still didn't react, Lu Zhaoyu pinched the bridge of his nose, lowered his voice and screamed again.
"Hmm" Shu Jin came back to his senses, pursed his lips and looked at him, not knowing what was wrong with him.
"Your seatbelt isn't on." The man's slender hands were on the steering wheel, and the index finger of his left hand tapped lightly, making a small cracking sound, becoming the only sound source in the entire carriage.
"Oh, thank you," Shu Jin tied it silently, sitting upright and looking at the front speechlessly. Thinking: Teacher Lu and her brother have no similar personalities at all, although the two will always quarrel, or Teacher Lu is scolded by her brother, but it can be seen that Mr. Lu is very good to his sister, otherwise how would Mr. Lu listen to his sister's words and send the irrelevant self back.
Both of them were silent people, and the car was quiet all the way, and Shu Jin always put his hands flat on his lap, motionless. Lu Zhaoyu felt that if he hadn't turned his head slightly to see the girl, he would have thought that there was no one else in the car, and her sense of existence was simply zero.
It wasn't until the car stopped at the school gate that he heard the girl's low voice again: "Thank you, Mr. Lu." He pursed his lips and added, "You drive carefully." ”
Lu Zhaoyu bowed his head slightly and motioned for her to go in. After watching the girl walk away, he restarted the car. Remembering that they realized from the afternoon that she was now saying "thank you Mr. Lu" to him every time, the phrase "drive carefully" was really the only other sentence.
Lu Zhaoyu frowned and thought, this is the first time he has seen such a girl, taciturn, not liking or smiling, not blushing and shy, not showing emotions, calm and unwavering, but there is a lot of politeness. In her, I can't see the vitality of a young girl at all, to put it mildly, her words and deeds are like an old man in the twilight of his life. Such a character cannot be formed overnight, and this girl must have experienced something early.
Stop, Lu Zhaoyu, you don't study psychology, analyze what other little girls do.
......
Time is like flowing water, rushing by, and there are only four days left before the college entrance examination, Linnan No. 1 Middle School plans to let the senior high school students adjust their state and take two days off to relax appropriately.
On the evening of June 2, Shu Jin packed some dormitory luggage and returned to Ningchuan Town.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky has long been shrouded in darkness, the night is quiet, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, from time to time there are dim street lamps illuminating the road ahead, there are flashing lights on both sides of the river to light up the riverside trail, they all bring light to the town, it is a glimmer of light covered by the night, faint but indispensable.
It wasn't until she was about to get home that she found the bright light in the house, and suddenly she suddenly realized that she had been wrapped in warmth, and it was the only one that was lit for her.
When she came back this time, her grandmother prepared a lot of food and medicine for her, and she saw that she had lost a lot of weight in the past ten days, although she didn't say much, but her eyes were distressed that she couldn't hide.
She found that although she didn't speak, she drank all the food supplements and stewed medicine made by her grandmother into her stomach. When she finally saw the relief in her grandmother's eyes, she was also relieved.
"Mom, give me a bottle of olive oil that someone else gave you, I'm running out of food." At the gate, Uncle Ning Kuan's rough voice came. Seeing that Shu Jin was also there, he added, "Yo, my niece is back?" ”
Shu Jin raised his head and called out faintly, "Uncle"
"It's about to take the college entrance examination, and you don't need to do so well in the exam like your cousin Ning Xuan, at least you have to be admitted to college, and you won't be embarrassed by your grandmother!" The man shook the sawdust off his body, and after spitting in the trash can, he had no intention of speaking.
Whether it was unintentional or intentional, even if it was malicious, Shu Jin didn't care, she was already numb and couldn't listen to it.
Grandma looked at the girl's immobile appearance, and with some discomfort, she stepped forward and held her hand hanging on her lap, and patted it gently. He turned to his eldest son and said, "The oil is gone, you can buy it yourself." ”
The middle-aged man at the bottom spat out, cursed and left.
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll just prove it to you." Shu Jin raised her other hand, wiped the tears from her grandmother's eyes with her fingertips, and slowly moved down, caressing her wrinkled old face, and comforting her softly.
"Good, good, good boy, grandma believes in you." The old man's voice choked, and a rare light and shadow emanated from his cloudy eyes.
When Shu Jin was about to go to bed after reviewing at night, she opened her phone and saw several WeChat messages popping up.
18:31, Yang Zhi: "Xiaoxiao, I don't wish you to come on for the college entrance examination, I believe you must have filled up your fuel and are ready to go, so you just wait for me to appear at the gate of Linda University one day to find you." In the future, we will see you greatly. ”
Shu Jin replied to her, "I'll wait for you to come." ”
19:10, Ms. Ning: "Shu Jin, Huaihuai is sick, your father and I are taking turns to take care of him, take the college entrance examination, you take the exam yourself." You can do whatever you want in the exam, we don't have any requirements for you. ”
Followed by another article below: "After the college entrance examination is over, you can go out and relax by yourself, I will transfer 5000 to you, don't ask your grandmother for money." ”
This is followed by a transfer amount of 5000.
Shu Jin accepted the money and replied "good"
19:30, Teacher Lu: "Shu Jin, I'm waiting for you to be my junior sister, don't be nervous, play normally." ”
She replied, "Don't be nervous, play hard, and wait to become Teacher Lu's junior." ”
It didn't take long for Lu Yuxuan to reply to her again: "Wait for you to call me senior sister, :)"
Before Shu Jin could reply, the phone shook again, "Also, my brother will also become your senior." ”
Shu Jin knocked and deleted, and finally only replied with two words, "Okay".
In the darkness, Shu Jin lay on her back on Simmons' bed, thinking about the last text message sent by Teacher Lu. Her mind flashed Mr. Lu's appearance, which was so tall that she always had to look up to meet his eyes. The black hair is meticulously combed to the back to reveal a full forehead, the thick black eyebrows are always frowning, and there are a pair of slightly stern eyes, the bridge of the nose is very high like a mountain, and a slightly thin lip, the jaw line is very distinct, and it does give birth to a good skin.
It turned out that he also graduated from Linda University.
......
In the two days after returning home, Shu Jin adopted the method of combining work and rest, relaxing and listening to music when he was tired of reviewing, or gently closing his upper eyes to relieve the fatigue of his lower eyes, and then welcoming a new round of review. The same was true for the last two days back at school, where students sat in their seats and kept reviewing and making the final sprints.
Or nervous, or excited, or worried, or confident, in the face of the advent of the college entrance examination, everyone has a different reaction, have a different state of mind, it is the first turning point in life, is an opportunity, but also a challenge. Whether you're ready or not, it's coming over time.
Two days of college entrance examinations, four exams, a total of 9 hours, just two pens to solve everything. Some of the students in the examination room are attentive to answering questions, some are frowning and meditating, and some are scratching their ears and cheeks and thinking about opportunistic shortcuts. There are all kinds of them, but what remains constant is that they are all thinking about how to seize this opportunity.
When the last bell rings, it means that this year's college entrance examination has come to an end.
After waiting for the papers to be finished, the candidates left the classroom one after another and walked outside.
Shu Jin was also in the crowd, she looked at the people around her, some were discussing in a low voice, some were depressed, some were excited, some were laughing, and some were nervous......
She was the only one, plain, without extra expressions, not looking at the anxious faces of the parents outside, not looking at those warm pictures, she lowered her head and walked away quickly.
As soon as the college entrance examination was over, the fatigue of the whole body seemed to be released in an instant, and Shu Jin fell on the bed and slept for a whole day. After being woken up by my grandmother, I got up in a bit of a daze and went to wash up and eat.
When I was fully awake, I found that it was already June 10th. Shu Jin felt as if she had lost motivation all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to do. When the familiar tune of "Pipa Language" came, she remembered that she hadn't learned guzheng for nearly a month.
So after talking to Grandma Lin on the phone and saying hello to her grandmother, she went out of the house.
"Grandma Lin" Shu Jin saw the old man sitting in front of the window looking at her with a smile, she called softly and pushed the door in.
"Xiaoxiao, Grandma Lin has been waiting for you for a long time." The old man pulled the girl to sit beside him and gave her a short haircut that had been blown by the wind.
"Well, that's why I'm here."
"Do you think the exam is difficult?" Grandma Lin asked with concern, it was not good to ask the girl directly how she did in the exam, so she could only turn a corner and say.
"It's all about me." Shu Jin said lightly, but there was a firmness in his words.
"Seeing you like this, Grandma Lin is happy." The old man stood up slowly, "Do you still want to play "Pipa Language" today?" ”
Shu Jin stood up after him, walked towards the piano room with the old man in his arms, and pursed his lips with a soft "um" sound.
Seeing the girl methodically wiping her hands, adjusting the kite stand, trying the strings, and wearing a prosthetic armor, the old man asked, "Xiaoxiao, what can you feel when you play "Pipa Language"? ”
"There are a lot of sorrows, the cuts are constant, the reasoning is still messy, the first time I hear it, I feel calm, and then I only feel very depressed." Shu Jin looked at the guzheng in front of him, was silent for a while, and then said slowly.
"I feel depressed, why do I want to play?" Grandma Lin asked puzzled.
"You say I don't have feelings." Shu Jin said in a low voice.
"......" Grandma Lin held her forehead and didn't speak for a long time.
"I want to try more, can I pop up feelings." Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Shu Jin added another sentence.
"......" now the child's thoughts, she really can't understand. Her original intention was to let Xiaoxiao understand the deep meaning of the song and play it with that resonance, but she thought like that.
It turns out that Shu Jin still can't play the effect that the old man wants no matter how many times she plays, and in the end she still stopped it.
No matter how good-tempered the old man was, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Xiaoxiao, next time I come, I'm not allowed to play "Pipa Language" again." ”
