Thousand Thousand Knots: Volume 3 Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 19: Grandpa is sick
"Happy? Happy what? What is there to be happy about? ”
"I'm happy that I'm going to leave because I'm naughty, or I'm glad that our school also has a question about Huanggang, it's okay."
"You know you're mad at me! Why do you want to negotiate terms with him? ”
"It's not impossible! If I don't, you'll lose your title as a great teacher. ”
"I don't want to be a good teacher, I still teach and educate people."
"That won't do! It's an honor you've earned so hard, and I'm not going to let them take it away in this way. ”
"That's better than getting poached."
"Who said I'd go?"
"If they agree to your terms, won't you have to go?"
Xiao Duxue smiled wickedly: "The legs are on me, and you can come back if you leave!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Duxue laughed even worse: "If I really can't push it off, I'll go." On the eve of the college entrance examination, I will come back. ”
"You're thinking too simply. How could they let you go so easily? ”
"You don't know about that." Xiao Duxue kicked the pebble and said slowly, "In addition to the excellent teacher conditions and the super high admission rate of Lingyun Middle School, the most talked about is that they have clear rewards and punishments, which are similar to strict school rules. There are two things that are very interesting: first, if an expanded enrollment like me can't rank in the top 30 in the monthly exam for three consecutive months, it will be returned to the original school; Second, if a student is absent from class for half a month or more without a leave slip from the class teacher, it will be treated as automatic withdrawal. You see, others have left such a big hole there, if we don't make good use of it, it will be too shameless. ”
"How do you know the rules of Lingyun Middle School?"
"My friend told me."
"Do you have friends at Lingyun Middle School?"
"Yes. And the relationship is not bad. ”
"I'll just say, according to your temper of eating soft and not hard, why did you agree. It turned out to be premeditated. ”
"Come and don't be rude! If they are unreasonable, why should I be polite. Teacher, if you don't like me going, I'll make do with the monthly exam, and I'll be packed and returned after three months; If you think it's good for me to study there and come back for exams, then I'll study hard and try not to embarrass you. In this matter, I listen to your arrangement, and there is no other word! ”
"Actually, putting aside the school's position, I want you to go. After all, they have a lot of things that we don't have, but we also want to be proud. I will tell the principal about today's matter, as for whether you stay or transfer in the end, it is up to you to choose, and I will bear the consequences. ”
"Thank you for thinking of me! I swear, I, Xiao Duxue, will definitely take the college entrance examination on behalf of Qiaohe Middle School, and I will definitely be admitted to a good university to cheer you up! ”
"I believe in you!"
Chu Xinghe followed behind the two of them until the crossroads. Looking at the figure in the distance, he was full of questions: looking at Zhang Yuhan's attitude, Xiao Duxue's status in his heart is not just as simple as being a good student. In addition to her achievements, what else does she have to offer? Will Lingyun Middle School agree to Xiao Duxue's conditions and share resources?
The last question was answered three days later: Lingyun Middle School agreed to Xiao Duxue's condition and was willing to share information with Qiaohe Middle School, and also attached a condition: she must be able to stand in the top ten in the three monthly exams. This result was beyond everyone's expectations, especially Xiao Duxue. She didn't think she had that much value, and when she mentioned this condition, she just wanted Lingyun Middle School to give up on herself, and she didn't really want to exchange herself for materials. Now it made her embarrassed: go, I don't want to; Don't go, there is an appointment first. She felt like she was lifting a rock to hit herself in the foot, and she was so annoyed that she hit the wall.
Zhang Yuhan saw that she was bored every day, and she was not comforted, so she gave her make-up lessons as planned, as if nothing had happened. Only occasionally, he will advise: If you go to Lingyun Middle School, no one will open a small stove for you anymore, you have to work harder.
Xiao Duxue was so sad that she wanted to cry, but she didn't want to make each other more uncomfortable, so she had to endure it as much as she could. She wrote a note home and explained what had happened. Xiao Lanshu quickly replied to the letter, and the content of the letter was different from the thoughtful and detailed when he replied to others, and it was concise and to the point: If it comes, it will be safe; Work hard for it. He also said, "All your family members are safe, don't read it."
In this way, when the one-year period agreed with Ye Hanchuan was about to expire, Xiao Duxue became a student of Lingyun Middle School. The difference is that it is not as a freshman in high school, but as an expansion student with an uncertain future.
After participating in the monthly exam of Qiaohe Middle School, Xiao Duxue packed her luggage and prepared to go home. Before leaving, she said goodbye to the teachers one by one, but she didn't see Zhang Yuhan.
"Your teacher is out...... Liu Yuyan's eyes turned red, "You know Duxue, I've been married to your teacher for many years, and I've only seen him cry three times." The first time was the death of the parents, and the second time was when the child was critically ill. This time you're leaving, and he secretly wiped away his tears. I've never seen him care so much about any student, and it's not just because you saved his son, it's because he likes you and has high hopes for you. Now that you're leaving, how can he not be upset? He asked me to tell you that Lingyun Middle School is under great pressure, and you must combine work and rest, and you can't break your body for studying. He also said that you are gifted, have a pure nature, and always think too much about others, and are easily dragged down by others, so you should occasionally learn to protect yourself. ”
Xiao Duxue had red eyes and put the folded note on Zhang Yuhan's desk: "This is for the principal and the teacher, please pass it on to the teacher." She picked up the playing child and checked his pulse: "The senior sister is relieved, the little junior brother has fully recovered." In the past, I had to eat the medicinal diet every day, but I could eat it twice a week in the future, and I didn't need to eat it anymore after the age of three, just eat normally. The little boy played with her phoenix bracelet, giggling, completely unaware of the sorrow of adults.
Liu Yuyan took out a key: "This is the key to the place where you live, you put it away." There is no place for you to expand your enrollment in the student dormitory of Lingyun Middle School, so you have to rent a house outside. This landlord is nice, the house is next to the school gate, next to the school's security room, convenient and safe. It's just that he has a mentally incomplete son in his family, so you just need to hide. The contract has been signed for two years, and the rent has been paid in a lump sum. ”
"How can this be? I'll figure out where to stay. ”
"If you're kind to us, your teacher and I will be even sadder. In our hearts, you are the elder sister of our son and the eldest of our family. Parents have a problem finding a place for their children to live? ”
"It's good that you help me find a good house, and I still have to pay the rent myself."
"My family and your teacher are both from good backgrounds, I have been doing business all these years, your teacher has a salary, and some savings, and we can afford this rent. You don't have to worry about us. ”
"It's not easy for you and your teacher to save some money, you can't spend it all like this."
"I've told you, we're not short of money. If you push it around like this, I'll be angry! ”
Xiao Duxue had no choice but to put the key up: "Thank you, Master!" ”
"And the words that go beyond the eye! If you're having trouble over there, let us know as soon as possible. You know the phone number of the commissary, you can call me at any time. ”
"I remembered. Isn't the teacher afraid that I won't last three months? I signed a two-year contract. ”
"I believe you can do it, let alone the teacher who treats you as a baby?"
"Then I'll have to work hard." Bidding farewell to Liu Yuyan, Xiao Duxue went straight to the station, like an arrow. When I got home, the sun was setting, and the sky was full of colorful clouds.
Running on the country road, smelling the familiar scent of earth, Xiao Duxue had hundreds of birds singing in unison. It's still comfortable here! Even the smell of new soil in the fields is nostalgic. The vermilion lacquer courtyard gate has been somewhat mottled under the erosion of wind and rain, and it looks like a proof of the vicissitudes of time in the rainy weather. Dabai lay in the doorway, his ears pricked up vigilantly, like a guardian. The flower branches in and outside the courtyard are entangled with the branches of the trees, densely covering the walls, leaving only the eyes full of green and delicate flowers.
Da Bai opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps, and saw that it was an old acquaintance, so he threw himself over, rubbing and arching, and was coquettish for a while.
"Long time no see, I miss you to death!" Xiao Duxue held Dabai in one hand, pushed the courtyard door with the other, and shouted excitedly, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back!" ”
Acacia birds snoozed in the treetops, and the yard was unusually quiet.
"Mom?" Xiao Duxue raised her voice and shouted, "Dad? ”
A person came out of the pharmacy, and it was Ye Hanchuan. "Twilight? You're back so soon? ”
"I can't come back? It's you, your school has been closed for a long time, why haven't you returned to school yet? ”
Ye Hanchuan's eyes were flustered, as if there was something unspeakable.
Xiao Lanshu came out of the kitchen with the medicine jar: "Twilight? I just called your school in the second half of the morning, why did I get home? ”
"You called me?" Xiao Duxue stared at the medicine jar, her heart beating wildly, "Who is sick?" ”
As if answering her question, a violent cough came from Su Shi'an's room, followed by Su Wanyan's voice: "Xue'er, come in quickly!" Her voice lost its usual peace, and it was very hurried.
Grandfather? Xiao Duxue ran away, and entered the bedroom in a few steps. "Grandpa!"
Su Shi'an's eyes were closed, and he was depressed, leaning on the pillow in a depressed spirit, completely lacking the strength and brilliance of the past. Hearing Xiao Duxue's scream, he struggled to open his eyes, and those eyes were like dusty lamps, dim and unclear. "Snow ...... Cher, you're back! ”
Xiao Duxue fell to the side of the bed, tears rolling down: "Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Wanyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, choked up and said, "Grandpa is sick......"
"I know he's sick! What is the disease? ”
Su Wanyan said that he was in love with the land, but he didn't say it.
"Mom!" Xiao Duxue stood up suddenly, "Tell me quickly!" If you don't say it, I'll ask Hanchuan. ”
"Don't! Don't ask him, don't embarrass him! ”
