Section 24 Prelude to the Storm

"I happened to be away from the last party at home, and then I heard that my sister sang very well. It's a pity that I didn't hear my sister's play. Sister, if you have a chance, you have to show me a hand! Aunt Qin squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly. The mother raised her head slightly and smiled slightly, which was considered an answer.

Turning her head, without waiting for Xue Hao to say anything, Aunt Qin suddenly asked, "Huh?" How did you suddenly find out that it was a relative? Xue Hao slapped his thigh, with a very exaggerated expression, and said excitedly: "What are you talking about!" I didn't even know about it! You said Cao Muha, from childhood to adulthood, I talked to him every day with a brother Cao, Brother Cao, such a big thing, he didn't tell me! If it weren't for the last time I attended, I wouldn't have known! Sister-in-law, didn't Brother Cao tell you before? You say, this Cao Mu, how many secrets do you have! Hahahaha, sister-in-law, you have to be careful! ”

Xue Hao was obviously joking, but this joke was made without any sense of disobedience. My mother and I sat next to each other, panicked.

Aunt Qin played haha, coping with Xue Hao's words. Now that I think about it, that time, it was really unintentional by the speaker, and the listener had a heart.

When Aunt Qin asked Xue Hao to have lunch at home, Xue Hao came in with a phone call.

In 1994, when Nokia had just been listed, some wealthy people were already the first to use such advanced high-tech electronic products. If you ask me, what is high-tech, I think the current speed of development compared to the 90s, is really not new at all, and the new objects of that era are called real, high-tech. Especially for me, when the bell rings, I'm still looking around for the source of the sound, thinking it's some kind of clock or something. When Xue Hao took out the thing that was slightly longer than the palm of his hand and carried a short antenna from his bag, I once again felt that the world was really wonderful.

Xue Hao's call didn't seem to be very pleasant. Fang was still jokingly chatting with us for fun, but now, listening to the other party's incomprehensible words, his face became more and more ugly, and he turned out of the door and went outside.

After all, the phone is a matter of personal privacy, and we are not interested in figuring out other people's secrets. Seeing Xue Hao's appearance, Aunt Qin whispered at her mother Nunu: "See, sister, this young master of a rich family is not easy to do, there are many things at home and abroad." The mother smiled awkwardly.

Xue Hao returned to the hall after a while, and hurriedly said to Aunt Qin and his mother: "Sister-in-law, Rong Jiao'er, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I won't eat here for lunch." If Cao Mu comes back early, let him go to my house, I have something urgent to find him. With that, he hurried away. Leave us on the couch in the hall and look at each other.

My mother looked at me, and when I realized it, I looked aside. The mother then said to Aunt Qin: "I also went back, and I made an appointment to play cards in the afternoon." ”

Aunt Qin's eyes lit up: "Playing cards?" My sister still loves to play cards! After speaking, he glanced upstairs and whispered: "I also love to fight, but my mother doesn't like it." So, I sometimes sneak up on an excuse to go out and play a round! Haha!" Mother also smiled, and she looked at Aunt Qin's eyes, obviously more kind. Although, this kind of relationship, in the old Nanjing saying, is so undesirable.

Aunt Qin is actually a very simple person, and those words, coming out of her mouth, suddenly made me feel a lot better, because of her true temperament.

Later, on the way of growing up, I felt more and more that this kind of truth from the essence of human nature was too precious, and including myself, I couldn't figure out my true face. Therefore, I will always have nostalgia for my mother and Aunt Qin.

After my mother went out, I went upstairs. I don't know when my father came back, but I thought that a small note had been settled.

Who knows, before the storm, occasionally, there is no warning. Like, the so-called day is that there is no rule of greeting in advance, otherwise, it will lose its freshness. Sometimes, of course, it can be a fright.

After the weekend, I went to school as usual. That morning, the attitude of the homeroom teacher was obviously different from the past.

I met her at the door of the class with my school bag on my back, and I greeted the teacher but didn't even receive a smile. I didn't think much about it, after all, as a teacher, it is extremely normal to be in a bad mood every day because of the naughtiness of the students or all aspects, just like the teacher has always been cloudy and sunny on weekdays, or perhaps, menopause.

After the second class in the morning, the teacher suddenly came and announced that I should sit in the penultimate row of the class.

This seat was adjusted too suddenly, so that Kan Tao was also at a loss. Kan Tao tilted his head to look at me, and then looked at the back of the head teacher leaving, and asked me in a low voice: "Your family has a coup d'Γ©tat!" I jerked my head: "Huh? What coup? "I'm just a metaphor. You said that I really don't know what other reasons can be for blatantly transferring so many rows of seats to the director's children. Are you really going? Actually, I don't want to change tables. This table is used to it. ”

I packed my schoolbag in my hand, but my mind went blank, and I replied lightly: "It's still a coup d'Γ©tat." You shouldn't be an afterthought, it's been a month before you remember to ask for a seat change! ”

"I'll go! Cao Muxi! I, Kan Tao, am that kind of person! I'm going to transfer you away because of the last time you scratched my face, so it's okay to adjust it early! I'm waiting for you to scratch my other face! Really! What you said makes me sad so much. ”

When the students in the back seat heard this, they joked: "Oops! It's sour! Eh, I said Kan Tao, should you be reluctant to Cao Muxi! People have scratched your face, and you still pity the jade! Hahahaha. ”

Kan Tao's face turned red, and he turned around and told them not to talk nonsense. For me, the joke doesn't matter. So, I didn't bother with it. However, Kan Tao's words just now seem to have some truth. However, if the adult world can't figure it out, I don't want to. It's just that the new table mate is a super naughty and nasty boy, which I really dislike very much.

For two days in a row, the teacher didn't give me a smile, which is the same as the attitude of the first two days, it is simply heaven and earth. I've never been able to guess why.

Until, Wednesday.

That week happened to be the last week of the final exam for the fourth grade of primary school. I was drinking water after math class in the morning, when suddenly the math teacher called me. I put down my glass and walked out of the classroom.

The math teacher, also a woman, usually talks less, but is in the same office as the homeroom teacher. She took me to the staircase and asked me mysteriously, "Eh, how is your father?" ”

I looked confused. The teacher thought I didn't understand, so he asked again. I replied tremblingly, "Yes, that's good." "Pretty good? What did your dad say about your seat change? "He, he doesn't know." "Don't know? You didn't tell him! Eh, I heard that your mom is still living on her own side of the school, and you're over there. Your stepmother is pretty good to you, I see. ”

"Huh? Stepmother? ”

"That's right, Cao Ju's wife is not your mother either! However, when your mother came to school and told the teacher to write Cao Mu in the column of your father on the population information, everyone knew. My relatives work under your father, what a coincidence, before this, everyone didn't know that Cao Ju was actually divorced, and there was a big daughter like you! Ha ha. ”

The teacher's tone seemed to be talking about homely things, and I, my head was bleeding as soon as it was a sudden! I stood there, like a fool, and the answer was no, no, no. I thought the conversation was over, but the math teacher's next sentence made me almost roll down the stairs.
