Chapter 16: The Affair Is Revealed
Shao Cong watched Jiaxin finish the dish little by little, and then smiled. I remembered that I came to her: "I want you to cut my hair." It's not appropriate at school, even if it's convenient, right? ”
"Cut your hair?" As soon as she heard this, Jia Xin was interested and put down the bowl, but the next second she was a little discouraged: "I don't have any tools here, if you want to cut your hair, go to Song Qingqing's barber shop after school tomorrow!" ”
"Good!" Shao Cong got up and was about to leave!
"Wait a minute!" Jiaxin said and ran to find her schoolbag, and then took out the homework left by the teacher on Saturday, including two math problems, she was a little confused: "I can't solve these two problems, can you help me talk about them?" ”
Shao Cong glanced down: "You go to eat first, it'll be cold for a while!" I'll write the solution ideas for you in a notebook, after eating, you take a good look at it, if you still don't understand, I'll tell you again when I go to school tomorrow! ”
Shao Cong helped Jiaxin solve the problem and left. He doesn't usually drive, sometimes he rides a bicycle, but most of the time he uses it. Just like today, on the way home, he passed by the newsstand, and he bought two military magazines!
As soon as he got home, as soon as he entered the house, Shao Cong saw his father sitting in danger. Because he is usually very busy with business, he rarely comes to see Shao Cong.
"Dad, why are you here?" Shao Cong threw the magazine on the wooden coffee table and sat down next to his father!
"I'm passing by, come in and take a look at you!" Saying that, Shao Cong's father glanced at the magazine on the coffee table, frowning, "Don't think about being a soldier, study hard, and get into a good university next year!" ”
"Nervous what, I'm just going to take a look!" Shao Cong put away the magazine, got up and went back to the room.
Behind closed doors, Shao Cong sighed softly, he wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, but the ancestors of the family were all in business for three generations, and it was not easy to have today, the family had long planned to wait for him to graduate from college, and let him come back to take over, but he was not interested in doing business, at least not at present!

Every Monday, the school will organize all teachers and students to participate in the flag-raising ceremony, and will have the outstanding students of each class give speeches under the national flag, and the theme is different every time!
This time, it happened to be Jiaxin's turn to be in class, and Mr. Zhang had arranged the speech in private. But Jia Xin was very surprised that they were speaking by Shao Cong!
The title of his speech was really very small, pediatric "I Have a Dream". Isn't this the question given by my writing teacher when I was a child? Throughout the article, Jia Xin made one thing clear, that is, Shao Cong wanted to be a soldier. Maybe it's because Shao Cong has long been famous, no matter what the speech says, the applause is quite warm anyway.
After the national flag-raising ceremony, each class brought it back. Before Jiaxin entered the classroom, she was called into the office by the head teacher.
Teacher Zhang had a gloomy face, if anyone squeezed it, it was estimated that they would be able to get out of the water, he was sitting on his somewhat shabby chair and said: "Lu Jiaxin, am I too indulgent to you, so you can not pass through my side if you have anything now?" ”
Jiaxin was confused, what happened, she seemed to be a little confused!
"Teacher, I don't, you know everything about me!"
"That's weird, I don't know why you left the house!" The teacher picked up the water cup, blew on the tea leaves floating on it, and then took a sip.
Staying out? Jia Xin realized that how many students in the class lived and how many students went to school, as the head teacher, she had to be clear. But that day, Shao Cong helped her get back the accommodation fee, and she was busy renting a house, so she forgot about it!
In the end, she did it wrong.
Teacher Zhang's cup of tea has been drunk to the bottom, Jiaxin is quick, and quickly picked up the tea bottle on the side to help the teacher fill it: "Teacher, I was negligent in this matter." The last two days have been so busy that I forgot about it. Jiaxin put down the thermos and lowered her head, and her words were so soft that Teacher Zhang couldn't lose her temper.
Teacher Zhang glanced at Jiaxin and said, "The dormitory manager also forgot about it because he had just started school, and last night was the first time to check the bed." I just remembered to tell me this morning, or I wouldn't have known! Teacher Zhang glanced at Lu Jiaxin, and looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Then tell me, why don't you live in school?" ”
"Then I'll tell you the truth, don't pursue it!" Saying that, Jiaxin told Teacher Zhang about the hardships she encountered, and finally she said: "For the sake of me being so self-reliant and hardworking, don't pursue me!" I promise you won't miss your studies! ”
Teacher Zhang had heard about Jiaxin being caught by his father to marry before the winter vacation, if it weren't for the heavy snow closing the mountain, he would have done the ideological work of Jiaxin's parents a long time ago! Now that he has heard Jiaxin say this, he is also very sympathetic to Jiaxin's experience!
But one yard to one yard!
Teacher Zhang sighed earnestly and warned her: "Okay, since I have retreated, I will not pursue it." But the teacher wants to remind you that you are now in your second year of high school, and you should also know the importance of the second year of high school in the three years of high school! So don't think about anything you shouldn't have! ”
"Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Jiaxin was a little confused.
"What do you mean?" Teacher Zhang took another big sip of tea and took a few sips of tea: "Isn't Shao Cong helping you to do this thing?" I went to the finance teacher to understand the situation, and he was clearly told that it was okay to leave the house, but the money could not be refunded, but he still refunded. It can be seen that your relationship is not ordinary! ”
What the? The money can't be refunded, so her money ......
"No, no, no..."Jia Xin came back to her senses and denied repeatedly: "We are really not the kind of relationship you think!" ”
"Lu Jiaxin, as a class teacher, I know the dynamics of everyone in the class, sometimes, I just turn a blind eye and don't care, you are all tending to adulthood, I believe you will treat me well! But for you, the teacher has to say a few more words, you are no better than other classmates, on the one hand, you also said, your family is not good, going to college is your only way out, on the other hand, you are a good student, so the teacher hopes, no matter what kind of relationship you Shao Cong has, I advise you to still focus on studying! ”
Jiaxin can feel that Teacher Zhang is talking to her heart-to-heart, she has never been a person who doesn't know what to do, who is good to her, she is like a mirror in her heart!
"I know, teacher, I wrote it down...... That's nothing else, I'll go back to class first. ”
Jia Xin turned around and walked out of the teacher's office and returned to the class, where Shao Cong was memorizing English texts. Jia Xin walked over and motioned for Shao Cong to go out with her!
The long corridor, where students are constantly shuttling, looks a little cluttered.
The two walked side by side, and Jiaxin said: "Thank you for helping me about the retreat!" But there's no reason for the money to let you out. You've helped me a lot, I can't get an inch, I'll pay you back! ”
Jia Xin now thinks about it, why Shao Cong was unhappy when he returned to the class after the money that day, maybe he was struggling in his heart!
"I..." Shao Cong knew, and the matter was revealed.
"Teacher Zhang suspects your motive for doing this!" Jiaxin was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down!" ”
"Don't say that! It's me who should say I'm sorry. Because I was afraid that you would be disappointed, and that you would have difficulties in life without the money, I gave the money out myself. ”
Shao Cong was like a child who had done something wrong, and while explaining, he observed Jiaxin's expression, but looking at her appearance, it was difficult to tell if she was angry.
"I know that your family is good, and you are not short of these three heads and two hundred yuan. If I want to say that people are poor and ambitious, I am afraid that it will be obvious that I can't eat grapes before I say that grapes are sour. But I really don't want you to help me like this. Your money is also your parents' hard-earned money, and I have no reason to accept it! Besides, we're just at the same table! ”
"So, do you think my hand is too long and too wide?" Shao Cong was a little sad.
"No, absolutely not, if that......" Jiaxin didn't know what to say, it would definitely hurt to say this, but if she didn't say it, it would bring unnecessary trouble to Shao Cong.
"Actually, I just want to tell you that this is my own business, you are just an outsider to me, there is no need to help me like this. I don't need your help at all! ”
The lesser of two evils, Jiaxin doesn't understand this truth!
Alien? Shao Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: "I'll transfer schools for you, contact the landlord for you, and take out the accommodation fee for you... So in your eyes, I'm just an outsider! ”
Shao Cong stood in place, for the first time in his life, and felt as if someone had chopped his heart hard. He never thought that the feeling of heartache was actually given by the girl named Lu Jiaxin.
Back in class, Jia Xin wrote him an IOU, promising that the money would be returned to him!
The rumors came unexpectedly, and almost all of a sudden, the news about Jiaxin's withdrawal overflowed the class, and everyone speculated about the various possibilities of Jiaxin's withdrawal. Who in the class doesn't know that a good student like Lu Jiaxin, who can't wait to spend 24 hours a day studying, would choose not to live in school!
The richness of human imagination should not be underestimated, so several versions of Jiaxin's retreat have been around for a while, of course, the most unacceptable is nothing more than those unhearable speculations!
For unnecessary trouble, Jiaxin hasn't said a word to Shao Cong for a whole week, and she goes to work in the barbershop every day after school. She ignores those rumors, even if the rumors can kill people, it is only someone else, not her Lu Jiaxin, this is not from the self-comfort of the Qing person, but Jiaxin simply disdains to ignore those rumors!
It's just that she can't involve Shao Cong in this matter. If the person who wants to make a rumor about her knows that it was Shao Cong who helped her check out of the dormitory, and she bore the cost of staying out of the dormitory, and she lived outside for the past two days and had frequent contact with Shao Cong, then Shao Cong would definitely be involved!
Shao Cong also stubbornly refused to say a word to Jiaxin, and the two of them sat at the same table, but they were stranger than ever. The matter of finding Jiaxin for a haircut has also been delayed again and again!
