Twenty-two, poor girl

The purpose of the man's fuss was to force someone to come forward, and now, he started a hot performance.

Lin Dong was not an opponent at all, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

"Shut up! Isn't it just asking for money? How much do you want? ”

The man looked at Lin Dong proudly: "One hundred!" ”

Lin Dong took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and threw it to him: "Take it, let's go!" ”

The man took the money, smiled, and changed his body, as if he was a loving father, and said to his daughter: "Yanzi, study hard, your parents are thinking about you, and in two months, your father will come to see you again." ”

With that, the man swaggered away.

Lin Dong said loudly to the students who were watching around, "Don't huddle around, let's eat quickly." ”

The students started cooking and eating again.

The girl kept her head bowed and stood there.

Lin Dong walked over and comforted her: "It's okay, you can eat first, it's time for class in a while." ”

The girl suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Dong: "Teacher, thank you." I'll give you back. ”

Lin Dong hurriedly said, "No, no." This is what a teacher should do. ”

The girl bowed again, turned and ran.

Lin Dong looked at the girl's thin figure, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the female student who often eavesdrops on his lectures in evening self-study? He remembered the ridicule of his classmates when they talked about her, and he understood why.

Later, Lin Dong learned about the girl's situation from the teacher in the first year of high school, and learned that her name was Zhang Nanyan, a very sensible and hard-working student, and at the same time a poor child.

Every month, she only lives on the subsidy issued by the school, she can't eat enough, and her clothes are even more shabby, but she knows how to be grateful and self-respecting, and takes the initiative to take on the cleaning of the campus. The master of the canteen saw that she was pitiful and offered to let her eat for free, but she refused, and ate every meal very economically.

At the same time, she has worked very hard in her studies, and her academic performance has always been in the middle and upper reaches.

When the teachers mentioned her, they all regretted: "It's a pity to be born in such a family!" ”

From then on, Lin Dong began to pay attention to the girl involuntarily, and in this way, he saw many things that he had ignored before.

The school rules that every morning, students should wake up at 6 a.m., run for 20 minutes, and then start reading in the morning.

Before, Lin Dong got up at six o'clock and ran with the students. One day, he woke up early and simply got up and walked around the campus.

Walking out of the dormitory door, he saw a skinny girl sweeping the floor around the schoolyard. The large broom she held in her hand was taller than her, and she waved it with great effort, and several piles of garbage were already swept up behind her.

It's only half past five, how early did she get up?

Lin Dong greeted from afar: "Morning." ”

Zhang Nanyan paused for a moment and lowered her head: "Hello teacher." ”

Lin Dong walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and took the broom in Zhang Nanyan's hand: "Come, give it to me!" ”

"No...... Don't ......" Zhang Nanyan hurriedly excused himself: "Teacher, I'll just sweep it." ”

"Let me move my body!" Lin Dong insisted and snatched the broom from Zhang Nanyan's hand.

He waved his broom, and oh, it was pretty heavy.

Zhang Nanyan lowered her head, picked up a small broom and dustpan on the side, swept up the piles of garbage, and dumped them into the garbage truck.

Lin Dong asked while sweeping the floor, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Zhang Nanyan replied in a low voice: "Get up early and finish sweeping the floor, don't delay the running exercise." ”

"Do you clean the campus every day? Isn't it a rotation of students on duty? ”

"The students on duty only clean the teaching building and the responsibility area in front of the building, and no one sweeps this remote area."

"Then why did you sweep it yourself?"

Zhang Nanyan lowered her head and said, "The school sends me living expenses, and I can't just stretch out my hand to ask for money." ”

Her voice was so small that she could hear humiliation and uneasiness.

Lin Dong paused, not knowing what to say. In the past, he felt that the school should provide financial aid and donations to poor students, but the girl in front of him insisted on a small self-esteem and did not allow herself to feel at ease and get something for nothing. Lin Dong couldn't help but be moved.

With the cooperation of the two people, the work was done much faster, and the ground was quickly cleaned. There were still about ten minutes before the morning exercise, Lin Dong wiped his sweat and said to Zhang Nanyan, "Let's chat." ”

Zhang Nanyan was holding a water cup in her hand and wanted to give Lin Dong water to drink, but she was afraid that Lin Dong would dislike her water cup, so she was very embarrassed.

Lin Dong saw it and deliberately said, "I'm so thirsty, do you mind giving me some water?" ”

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly handed over the water cup: "Teacher, you drink." I wash the water cup and I wash it every day. ”

Lin Dong took the water cup with a smile, raised his head and took a big sip: "It's very fragrant, what are you soaking?" ”

Zhang Nanyan's eyes were shining, and it seemed that Lin Dong's willingness to drink her water was the greatest encouragement to her.

"It's a wild chrysanthemum, I picked it in the mountains last autumn, washed it and dried it, soaked it in water and drank it to clear the heat and remove the fire, but it's good." Speaking of what he is good at, Zhang Nanyan's words box opened: "There are also white artemisia, dandelion, and winter grass, all of which can be soaked in water and drunk, they are all Chinese herbal medicines, and drinking them is good for the body." ”

The two of them had a great chat.

At this time, the bell rang, and the students all got up and gathered in the playground one after another.

Lin Dong smiled and said, "It's quite insightful to chat with you, next time you can tell me about life in the mountains." Let's go run and first. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Nanyan smiled.

The sun shone on her bright smiling face, and Lin Dong realized that her smile was so bright and cute.

A few days later, early in the morning, Lin Dong got up and opened the door of the dormitory, and saw a bulging plastic bag at the door of the dormitory. He picked it up and opened it to see that there were small packets of sun-dried herbal tea, with wild chrysanthemums, wild roses, and dandelions, which were neat and tidy. There is also an envelope at the bottom, which is the kind of envelope with cute patterns and scents that is popular among female students, and when you open it, you can see that it is twenty yuan inside.

This is the subsidy that the school has just issued to Zhang Nanyan, fifty yuan a month, she has left thirty yuan for food, only one yuan a day, how can she be full? She also bought a beautiful envelope, which cost two quick dollars, more than her day's food, and it was the best way she could think of to express her gratitude.

Lin Dong looked up and saw that not far away, Zhang Nanyan was quietly looking over here while sweeping the floor.

"Silly girl."

Lin Dong walked over: "Nanyan, thank you for your herbal tea, I like it very much." But...... You take the money back, eat well, study hard! ”

"Teacher, I'm ......"

Lin Dong stuffed the money into Zhang Nanyan's hand, raised the beautiful envelope with love painted on it, and said, "I will accept this envelope, it is very beautiful." ”

Since then, Lin Dong has gotten up early every day to help Zhang Nanyan clean up the campus. He also didn't allow Zhang Nanyan to skip the evening self-study to eavesdrop on his class, and he would open a small stove for her to tutor during extracurricular activities.

In the process of getting along, the two gradually became acquainted. However, since when did the two people really get close?
