Chapter 102: It's a holiday
It's finally time for the final exam, and the first semester of the third year of high school is officially over. I won't say much about the exam results, it's almost the New Year, there is no need to make myself uncomfortable, in short, my grades are as stable as ever.
However, my friends' grades are worth bragging about, Su Mo is second in the class, Fat Boy is the tenth in the class, and he is the first in the class in mathematics, and Li Zong is also in the top three in the class, but Chinese and English are lagging behind. As for Lin Siqi, because she was transferred in the last month, she can not take this exam, so her true results have not been exposed for the time being.
After the holiday, Lin Siqi and I haven't seen each other again, but I know that she hasn't returned to Sichuan, how do you know if you ask me? I asked Fat Boy to check the location of her mobile phone, she is still in Long Province, and I still don't know what the purpose of her coming here is.
At the end of the month, our family will fly to Egypt, as usual, the third year of high school starts early, after the fifteenth we should go back to school, but I don't know if I can come back at that time, it is estimated that there is a high probability of pigeons, and it is a big deal to ask for leave. Anyway, I was scolded by the eight women and I also learned from it, as long as I didn't talk back, she stopped scolding for a while.
During the Chinese New Year, I followed Master and Master to my grandfather's house, I hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he missed me very much, so he specially made my favorite dried fried beans and sweet and sour pork ribs. Master drank two cups with his old man, and Grandpa was a little drunk, and actually told the story of his youth, and I took the opportunity to ask him and Mrs. Guo about it, and he also talked endlessly.
The acquaintance between Grandpa and Mrs. Guo can be traced back to the Cultural Revolution. Mrs. Guo's father is a powerful Mr. Yin and Yang, and her mother died early, and the father and daughter have depended on each other since childhood. Because of this ability, her father almost made the Red Guards toss half to death, and the house was also raided. Before the old gentleman was imprisoned, he sent Mrs. Guo to her grandfather's house and asked their family to help take care of her. Because he and Grandpa Tai are old friends, of course Grandpa Tai is happy to help with this. At that time, my grandfather was only a teenager, and I was in adolescence, and there was a beautiful girl in the family, and it was inevitable that I would feel emotional.
I took advantage of my grandfather's drunkenness and pestered him to tell him in detail about a few things I had experienced with Mrs. Guo. For example, grandpa and Mrs. Guo learned to tie paper people (referring to ordinary paper people) from grandpa together, grandpa was clumsy when he was a child, and he couldn't complete the homework assigned by grandpa, so Mrs. Guo gave a part of the paper figure she tied to grandpa. But Grandpa could recognize at a glance which ones were pierced by Grandpa himself, and the two of them were punished together. Grandpa is probably talking about this kind of bittersweet memories, it seems that he and Mrs. Guo are really happy when they are together.
Back to the point. Although my grandfather's family also has ancestral methods
During the Cultural Revolution, he rarely did the business of dead people, and made a living by tying lanterns, masks, kites, etc., so he has not been affected. Until one day, in order to make Mrs. Guo happy, my grandfather secretly tied a paper figure, used his unskilled spells to revive the paper figure, and went to the neighbor's house to steal ears of corn. This matter was discovered by the neighbors and reported to the Red Guards, and a group of little cubs went to their grandfather's house for a toss, turned it upside down, and nothing came out. It's just that from then on, Grandpa never let Grandpa touch paper figures again, and it wasn't until Grandpa Tai passed away that he picked up this craft again. It's a pity that many spells have not been learned, and now they are lost.
Mrs. Guo lived in her grandfather's house for five years, and finally waited until the end of the Cultural Revolution in 76, but she didn't expect Mrs. Guo's father to be tortured in prison, but the whole person was already skinny. He insisted on taking Mrs. Guo away, and the father and daughter didn't know where they went. In the decades since, Grandpa and Mrs. Guo have not seen each other again, except for occasional correspondence. Grandpa learned from the letter that Mrs. Guo began to learn art from her father, and also started the business of Mr. Yin and Yang, and it was her own volition, because she would never forget the little paper man who stole bud rice.
Mrs. Guo returned to the provincial capital to reunite with her grandfather, almost forty years later. But when he said this, Grandpa dozed off, and after a while he fell asleep in bed, which was really not at all unhappy. How did Mrs. Guo fall into the Gu, her body couldn't get wet, I haven't heard it yet. I don't know when I listen to the story next time, after all, when grandpa is sober, he never wants to talk about these things.
Maybe it's the Chinese New Year's Eve next year, if I can live to that time.
At that age when love was beginning to bloom, grandpa met someone who he would never forget in his life, and it was really regrettable that he couldn't get together with Mrs. Guo. He must have been very sad to hear the news of Mrs. Guo's death.
When my grandfather fell asleep, I looked at his slightly curled back, and began to blame myself again, if I could rescue Mrs. Guo at that time, maybe now we are a family of five happy New Year.
After drinking and eating, we turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which has become more and more boring in recent years, and is no longer a necessity for my family on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. I didn't like to listen to songs, and the awkward sketches didn't make me laugh, so I sat down for a while and then went back to the house and lay down.
Just after midnight, Fat Boy sent me a New Year's message: "Lao Chen, I wish you a prosperous business and a safe new year!" In addition, thank you very much, if it weren't for you to build a bridge in the middle, Su Mo and I would not have the relationship we have today. ”
Wait?! What is the situation between him and Su Mo, why don't I know? After reading the text message, I "rubbed."
He sat up from the bed.
When will I bridge the two of them, after reading his text message, my heart is about to bridge!
I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you two?" ”
"I'm sorry to say, you go ask her." Fat boy replied in seconds.
I had to ask Su Mo again, and Su Mo replied: "You just sent a text message just about to sleep, oh yes, Happy New Year!" ”
Seeing that she didn't respond positively, I asked again, and this time Su Mo replied: "Listening to his nonsense, it means that I promised to help him tutor Chinese and English in the future." ”
"What did I think was the relationship...... I said speechlessly, "the teacher-student relationship?" ”
"There's good news for you." Su Mo sent another message, "In return, Fat Boy also promised to help you with math and science, if you still have time, you can also come to me to ask for Chinese and English." ”
"Help me?" I asked with a confused face, "When did I say I was going to tutor?" ”
"Oh, just to inform you, didn't want to ask for your permission. Okay, I slept, 88. ”
Su Mo didn't rub it off at all, and she really didn't reply to me later. But I really don't understand, she just helped Fat Boy tutor in liberal arts, why did Fat Boy help me tutor in return? I asked the fat boy, and he said that Su Mo asked for it, and he couldn't help it. And Su Mo also said that if my math and science scores did not improve significantly, she would no longer help Fat Boy make up classes.
I instantly had a black question mark face: "??? ”
However, after learning that Su Mo was not with the fat boy, why did I suddenly breathe a sigh of relief?
On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was greeting each other, and I remembered that I hadn't had much contact with Lin Siqi recently, so I also sent her a New Year's message, but she didn't reply to me all night. I wanted Fat Boy to help me check her location again, but I thought it would be like an idiot, so I just thought about it.
I looked at the two names in my outbox, and two beautiful figures appeared in my mind at the same time, and I couldn't help but ask myself: Chen Rong, Chen Rong, why do you think so beautifully, aren't you just eating pots?
My old friends Dawu and Xiaowu not only paid New Year's greetings, but also strongly invited me to go to Xiangxi during the winter vacation, and I could only refuse them under the pretext of traveling to Egypt. Although they are some of my most trusted friends, the four sacred objects are so important that I will not reveal them to anyone but Master.
Zhang Lun also sent me a message that he had already arrived in Egypt, and said that he was doing well, and that we should not worry, just come as promised. In fact, none of us are worried about him.
Finally, my long-awaited trip to Egypt is about to begin.
