Chapter 240: Old Shadows

Later, from Lu Yuchuan's mouth, Zhong Yi knew a little bit about Xu Huaisheng's living conditions in recent years.

He quit his job in the bank, his family forced him to marry Gu Wei, he ran away from home in anger and didn't return to China for a long time, and traveled around to relax.

I have participated in volunteer work and worked as a volunteer teacher in poor mountainous areas. In one of the rescues, he was seriously injured.

The life experience he has now experienced far exceeds the limits of his fondness for the world.

Zhong Yi has to admit that he is indeed very good, and he is an object worthy of admiration in life, nothing more.

In front of An Shu, she never hid Xu Huaisheng's affairs, even if Lu Yuchuan deliberately revealed Xu Huaisheng's affairs to her, she told An Shu without reservation, just like a joke.

But there was only one time, Xiaoxiao forgot what Lu Yuchuan said to her, and forgot that she had loved someone deeply when she was young.

At the end of June, the summer in the town becomes more muggy, with the sound of cicadas chirping and the salty smell of the sea being blown in by the summer breeze, which is stronger than usual.

At the end of the month, work was a little easier, and she almost had a lot of leisure time, sitting in the office and wasting time on the air conditioner.

On such a hot day, several colleagues from the advertising department and the publicity department had to go out to do market research to cope with the adjustment of market sales in the next few months. When I came back, several people were sweating hot, and their suit pants and shirts could all be rolled up to their thighs and elbows, occupying the air conditioning vents and resolutely refusing to leave.

The newly recruited young lady at the front desk enthusiastically, busy before and after helping the few male colleagues who came back from the market to hand over water and towels, Renmei spoke sweetly, and won the praise and love of a large number of male colleagues within a few days. As long as it's okay, I love to run to the front desk, and I can't stop it. Originally, it was the job that the front desk was responsible for, and those technical otaku took the initiative to take it over, and they didn't let people touch it at all.

Cheng Lan passed by there a few times, saw that the front desk was surrounded by water, and after getting used to it a few times, he directly ignored the existence of that group of people, walked into Ouyang's office angrily, and finally slammed the door angrily and helplessly.

reacted to Ouyang a few times, but Ouyang's attitude was always unclear, and his answers were also ambiguous, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

Zhong Yi knew a little bit about this matter, thinking that when she first joined the deep sea, her colleagues in each department were not familiar with each other, so they were familiar with each other. In less than a day, she didn't have to go to the department to get acquainted with many colleagues in the department, and she hadn't remembered their names yet, and someone asked her to go to dinner at noon.

At the same time, she was secretly worried about whether the fifteenth front desk of this month would be able to hold on until July.

After all, none of the first fourteen front desk ladies lasted until a week, and they resigned one after another to stop doing this job.

The colleagues who had just finished running the market on a hot day had not yet recovered their spirits, and Ouyang frantically assigned them a new job. A group of people are like ashes, they are afraid that they want to die, and some even pretend to have heat stroke, hoping to escape.

In this outing mission, Zhong Yi was not spared.

Cheng Lan told her to bring her camera and equipment and gather downstairs. Zhong Yi was still in a state of bewilderment, and before he even figured out the situation, he stuffed a gun into his hand and pushed it onto the battlefield to kill the enemy for no reason.

said that it was a collection, and with her, there were only five people, three men and two women - Ouyang, Xiao Liu, Datou, Cheng Lan and her.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ouyang opened the door of the van behind him and said "get on the bus", and the four of them obeyed the instructions and got into the carriage, each silent without saying a word.

The van that has been exposed to the sun for several hours, not to mention how stuffy it is in the compartment, the windows are all open, and the cool breeze outside still can't blow away the stuffiness in the car, but the sun shines obliquely in, making it even hotter.

The big head wiped the sweat from his face, snorted and panted heavily, and discussed with Ouyang in the front row: "Boss, we can discuss something!" Can you turn on the air conditioner, it's almost hot. ”

Ouyang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, rolled up his suit pants to the base of his thighs, and the hot sweat on his face kept pouring out, soaking the shirt on his chest, "You talk a lot, your heart is calm and naturally cool, you don't understand!" Think more about the balance of your bank card, and it won't be hot. He turned his head to the driver and said, "Master, no one can carry the air conditioner if it is not turned on." ”

The master drove attentively, and when he heard the words, he said calmly: "The air conditioner is broken, and it hasn't had time to repair it, you are insisting on it, and it's not far from the destination anyway." ”

Ouyang "...... "I paid for it, and you actually gave me a whole broken car, black heart, black car!" Black bald!

Ouyang: "Master, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Master: "It's not like you didn't ask. ”

The crowd "......"

In addition to specializing in marine magazines, Deep Sea also does some public welfare activities, such as helping left-behind children solve their difficulties in going to school; Sponsor some children from poor families so that they don't give up on learning. Long before I joined this team, Deep sea was already doing all kinds of public welfare, and they even had a special public welfare website, and a small half of Deep sea's fans came from this public welfare website.

The car gradually got on the highway, and the windows had to be closed, which was even more stuffy, like a rice cooker that kept a constant temperature. Zhong Yi leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, trying to calm his mind and cool himself naturally through the method Ouyang said.

A volunteer teacher who claimed to be a volunteer teacher in the xx mountain area posted on the website that their sixth-grade child was about to graduate because the school facilities were not perfect, and there was no uniform for them. The children want to wear their school uniforms once and take a few photos of their primary school graduation. He also tried to contact some photographers, but they were all too remote to come.

After Ouyang contacted the teacher, he said that they were willing to rush over to take graduation photos, and by the way, they were bringing some books for the children. The teacher said thank you on the phone, and Ouyang could clearly hear the relaxation in his tone.

When I went to the service area to rest, a few people who were already sweating profusely rushed into the supermarket, blew the wind on the air conditioning outlet, and waited for all the sweat on their bodies to dry, and then ran to buy water to quench their thirst and cool down.

Zhong Yi took a turn in the parking area, and also asked the driver, but there was no car to go to the mountains, and he didn't know the way. It's more that when I heard that the place was very remote, the price had not been discussed, so I shook my head and refused.

Cheng Lan handed Zhongyi a bottle of soda that had just been taken out of the refrigerator, "It's a busy job to ask, it's so far away and remote, how can a driver be willing to take us over." And with the addition of people and equipment, small cars and cars simply can't sit down. ”

"I just wanted to try my luck, I guess I didn't get to the place yet, and I died of heat in the car first." Zhongyi unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured a few sips with his head up.

"The heart is calm and naturally cool! Let's go, there's still a long way to go. ”

After getting into the car, Ouyang distributed a small plastic fan to each person, and as soon as the window was closed, everyone shook the fan in their hands desperately, and their wrists were sore and endured.

At about half past two in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination, got off the car, Zhong Yi's legs were weak, and he stood holding on to the car door, looking at a group of half-grown children not far from them, shy and introverted standing still neatly.

It should be that the teacher here told them in advance that someone would come over to take graduation photos for them later, and they should stand obediently and politely, and they should not run around, otherwise they will be scared.

The school was built on a hill, with a few tiled houses that served as their study quarters, and a large open space outside that was supposed to be a playground and a place for the children to play after class, with a running track and two dilapidated basketball hoops on the ground.

After a moment's pause, Zhong Yi noticed that the children were still staring at their strangers with round, dark and innocent eyes, and she smiled at them in a friendly manner, pointing to the camera hanging from her chest.

Roughly told them that she was here to help them take graduation photos.

The children cheered quietly, and Zhongyi could clearly see the expressions of each of them, with a smile of joy and joy.

"Hello, I am the teacher here, my surname is Xu. Welcome. Zhong Yi had just taken a few steps forward when she heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears, and she followed the sound and saw the teacher who was facing away from her and talking to Ouyang at a glance.

The back was very familiar, and she didn't dare to continue to guess, until Ouyang finished talking to Teacher Xu, he turned around, wearing a mask on his face, revealing a pair of star-like eyes, and gently swept over her face.

Xu Huaisheng? Could it be that he has always been a teacher here, a contributor to the website, and he is the same. Zhong was a little surprised, and he was surprised to meet him here, should he say it was fate or bad fate.

He looked thinner than before, and he was wearing a loose T-shirt because of malnutrition. It is no wonder that in such difficult living conditions, nutrition cannot keep up with the certainty of thinness.

He walked up to the children, who seemed to like him very much, and when they saw him coming, they kept calling "Teacher Xu" in their mouths. He said something to them, and the group of children bowed to them in unison, shouting, "Brother and sister, welcome!" ”

Xiao Liu and Datou began to be busy carrying supplies, and when they saw that there were gifts, the children ran up to help, and their smiles almost overflowed the corners of their eyes.

The sixth-grade elementary school students who changed into their new school uniforms were very happy. Lined up, Xu Huaisheng, as their teacher, stood in the middle of a group of children, took off his mask and smiled at the camera.

After the shooting, Xu Huaisheng put on the mask again. I heard a little boy tell her that Teacher Xu was sick and was afraid of infecting them, so he kept wearing a mask, even in class.

The breakup at the time of the breakup is vivid, and Zhong quietly retracts his thoughts, they have long since lost their relationship, they can't even be friends, they are already a stranger, and they run to care about his physical condition, which is not reasonable at all.

Cheng Lan came to Zhongyi's side, helped her put away the tripod, and couldn't help but gossip a few words: "I heard that this teacher used to be a top student in the mathematics department, and he would rather give up a good life and come to the mountains to be a teacher. ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi replied absentmindedly, looking down at the photo he had just taken.

"Heyβ€”come over and eat watermelon and rest for a while." Not far away, someone shouted at them.

"Call us over, those pictures will be processed later. The sun is so big, you are not afraid of heat stroke. Cheng Lan put the tripod and pulled Zhong Yi to the shade of the tree.
