21. The Three-Year Covenant
This morning, the weather was exceptionally good.
The sky is cloudless, and the sky is high and crisp.
Daliang Mountain, Mengyi Town, a building, a room, there is a piano sound echoing.
Someone is singing, have a good trip, her voice, crisp and moving.
As a pair of slender hands slowly fell, the song ended, and the rest was a long sigh.
This is a little girl, thirteen or fourteen years old, beautiful and slim.
She sat by the piano, like a beautiful blue lotus, demure and elegant.
Her beauty lies in her eyes, which seem to contain billions of stars, shining brightly.
Inside, there seems to be a beautiful world, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and enjoying it.
Someone pushed the door in, she suddenly looked back, smiled slightly, and in an instant, the whole room, with her smile, also became gentle.
It was the lost wind, as if it had found its way, gently stirring the blue curtain.
"Xiaoxi, you play so well! The whole school heard it! ”
It was a young girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, bright and moving, who came to the piano and smiled lightly.
"Before I knew it, three years had passed, and I was fourteen years old, and I had graduated from elementary school!" Chen Xi curled up a strand of hair and pinned it behind his ear, "After today, everyone will go their separate ways, I can only wish everyone a smooth journey!" ”
"Giggles, you, are you thinking about Teacher Xu!"
Zhong Ling took Chen Xi's hand, "If only I had your grades so good, you know everything, I repeated the third year of the first year of the new year, and the grades haven't come out yet, so I don't dare to go home!" ”
"We're all on vacation, haven't the results come out yet?" Chen Xi asked.
"Guess!" Zhong Ling smiled playfully, her eyes kept rolling.
"Look at you like this, you must have done well in the exam!" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"It's boring!" Zhong Ling pouted and glared at Chen Xi, "I can't hide anything from you, Xiaoxi, I said, when we were together, how did you think, you are the sister, obviously I am a few years older than you, but I feel that you know more than mine......"
"Either way, we're all good sisters, aren't we?" Chen Xi said, "Tell me, how many points did you get in the test, and which high school did you get into?" ”
"Giggles!" Zhong Ling became happy, "Guess again?" ”
"It won't be Chengdu No. 7 Middle School!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Xi said.
Last year, Zhong Ling applied for Chengdu No. 7 Middle School.
It is a famous school in Chengdu, the admission conditions are exceptionally high, and in the Liangshan area, there are very few places, Zhong Ling's grades are not bad, and she is also among the best in the class, but because of sports, she is a few points less, and unfortunately falls off the list.
"You've guessed it again, giggles!" Zhong Ling cheered, "Xiaoxi, I'll go to Chengdu next month!" ”
"Congratulations Sister Ling!" Chen Xi said sincerely.
"But ......" Zhong Ling began to be reluctant, "I will go to Chengdu, and it will be rare to see you again!" ”
"I'll go too, in three years!" Chen Xi said.
"But ......," Zhong Ling said, "when you go, I also graduated from high school, and I'm going to be separated again!" ”
"Sister, no matter where you are, as long as you think about each other, it doesn't matter!" Chen Xi smiled, "Let's keep in touch, if we have time, I will also go to Chengdu to see you!" ”
"Really?" Zhong Ling was pleasantly surprised.
"Hmm!" Chen Xi bowed his head slightly.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Zhong Ling suddenly said, "The principal wants to see you!" ”
"Headmaster, what is he doing with me?" Chen Xi was stunned.
"Who knows, tell me to come to you and say something important!" Zhong Ling said.
"Okay, then I'll go!" Chen Xi got up and walked to the door.
"Xiaoxi, I'm going home today! My dad picked me up in the car, right in front of the school! As soon as Chen Xi arrived at the door, Zhong Ling shouted.
"Really, so fast?" Chen Xi paused, and his eyes became gloomy.
It's another season of separation, and she is very reluctant.
I still remember that three years ago, there was a person who also told her that she was leaving.
Chen Xi didn't even dare to send her, she was afraid that she couldn't help but be sad, so she could only hide in the corridor, looking at the back, pulling her luggage, and gradually moving away.
Now, her best friend, too, will be gone.
Quietly wiping the sparkle from the corners of his eyes, Chen Xi turned around and smiled.
"Sister, I wish you a smooth journey!"
"Well, you go, I'll practice for a while!" Zhong Ling said.
"Hmm!" Chen Xi nodded and took a step.
"Sister, cherish!" Chen Xi said softly in her heart, her back, gradually, disappeared in Zhong Ling's eyes.
"Xi girl, you have to be good!" At the piano, Zhong Ling muttered to herself, two lines of tears, and slipped down.
"Actually, I still didn't get into the seventh middle school! I won't go to Chengdu either, my father won't go to school for me, but let me get married, and the car is not my father's, but my so-called boyfriend, who is twenty years older than me...... Girl, you must be ...... You must be good, don't follow my old path, I believe that you must go far and see the world for your sister! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ling got up, ran to the school gate, and came to a luxurious BMW, she turned around, looked deeply, glanced at the teaching building, and then got into the car.
The black BMW drove away, leaving nothing but dust.
"Sister, you have to be good too!" In a corridor, Chen Xi looked at the BMW, her eyes gradually blurred.
For a long time, she wiped away her tears, turned around, and walked into the principal's room.
But the moment she pushed the door, her eyes lit up, and her dim eyes instantly shone with dazzling brilliance.
"Grandma!" Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised.
She saw a man, an old man with gray hair.
At this moment, the old man looked at her with a smile on his face, kind and gratified.
Chen Xi ran into the room, came to the old man, and grabbed her hand.
Isn't this her grandmother Wang in Chenliu Village?
She is a legend, since she was a child, she has taught Chen Xi earnestly and has a great kindness to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi can have today, this old man, has contributed a lot.
In this school, there are many children who can go to school, and this old man also has a lot of contributions.
"Child, grow taller, grow up, fall generous, slim, good!" The old man stroked Chen Xi's head and said with a smile.
"Grandma...... I miss you! Chen Xi was very intimate, with tears in his eyes, looking at the old man.
She hadn't seen this legendary old man for three years.
Three years ago, Grandma Wang had been living in Chengdu and had never returned.
Unexpectedly, today, I finally saw her.
Although the old man was old and gray-haired, he was in good spirits.
Chen Xi is very happy, this is the only thing she is happy about in this parting season.
"I'm going back to Chenliu Village, passing by here, I'm coming to see you!" The old man said, "You really didn't disappoint me! ”
"Yay!" Chen Xi cheered, "In the future, I can see grandma every day!" ”
"Remember to fetch water for grandma!" The old man smiled and said, "Grandma is old, but she can't be moved!" ”
"Okay, when I come home on the weekend, I'll fill my grandmother's water tank!"
Chen Xi said happily, "Grandma, when you are not at home, I will clean your house every day!" ”
"Good boy!" The old man said, "What a filial piety, just like your aunt, speaking of which, I haven't seen her for several years!" I don't know how she is in Beichuan! ”
"Auntie is okay!" Chen Xi said, "She is waiting for me in Chengdu now!" ”
"She's in Chengdu? Ouch, I knew I wouldn't be back yet! The old man patted his forehead, a little disappointed.
"It's okay!" Chen Xi chuckled, "My aunt is here to take me to the car, and she is also going home, and when the time comes, my aunt will come to see you!" ”
"Get you in the car, girl, where are you going?" The old man asked.
"Guizhou, Ancheng!" Chen Xi said, his eyes showing concern, "Teacher Xu and I have a three-year appointment!" ”
"Ancheng, Guizhou?" The old man was shocked.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi blinked his eyes wide and wondered.
"I heard that Guizhou is very chaotic!" A middle-aged man stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Especially in Ancheng, I heard that there is a person named Wu Banglong, who is a tyrant in Ancheng, who has formed gangs and gangs, acted recklessly, and seriously disrupted social security, and the local public security bureau has nothing to do with him...... Chen Xi, you'd better not go there for the time being, Ancheng is full of thugs, there are too many people killing people and setting fires, it's not safe! ”
"That's just a rumor!" Chen Xi said with a smile, not caring at all, "It doesn't matter if he's domineering or not, I just want to see Teacher Xu, and I don't have anything to do with those people...... Besides, Mr. Xu will come to the train station to pick me up! ”
"But, you're still so young, go to that kind of place......" The headmaster wanted to say something, but when he saw the old man waving his hand, he immediately stopped.
"Girl, do you really want to go?" The old man asked.
"Well, you can't be a man of your word!" Chen Xi said seriously, "I have an appointment with Teacher Xu, and in three years, I will go to see her!" Grandma, I'm fourteen years old now and can take care of myself! Besides, where is the Pure Land in the world? Yuan...... Teacher Yuan works wholeheartedly, not ......"
"You're going, I won't stop you!" The old man said with a smile, and then took out a mobile phone and put it in Chen Xi's hand, "This is what I just bought, remember, once you find any danger, call the police immediately!" ”
"Don't worry!" Chen Xi refused, "I heard Teacher Xu say that Ancheng is beautiful, and besides, Ancheng No. 1 Middle School is a century-old famous school, so it's good there!" ”
"Keep it!" The old man said, "This was originally bought for you, it has grandma's number on it, I'm in Ancheng, call grandma back, I haven't thanked you Teacher Xu yet, she is my benefactor in Mengyi Town!" ”
"Thank you, Grandma!" Chen Xi put away his phone, "I'll be fine, grandma don't worry!" ”
"Go ahead!" The old man smiled and said, "There is still half an hour, and the train will depart!" ”
"Then I'm leaving!" Chen Xi was reluctant to give up, and turned away, "Grandma take care, goodbye, principal!" ”
"What a good girl!" Looking at Chen Xi's back, the old man sighed, "The phoenix has wings, and if you want to fly, no one can stop you...... She didn't want to go to Anseong, but she wanted to see the world, Daliang Mountain, too small, there is not a single plane tree, and she can keep a phoenix with wings spreading......"
"Wang Dong, this is the teaching equipment and equipment you just came in, and the total cost is here, you can see it!" The headmaster had a notebook, respectfully and respectfully, and placed it in front of the old man.
"Don't look at it, it's bad to watch!" The old man waved his hand and said.
"This ......," the headmaster's hand, frozen in the air, smirked.
"I heard, in the school, the faction? Academic and popular? The old man asked suddenly.
"It's not ......," the principal touched his nose, "it's just an academic discussion......"
"Academics?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "A group of wine bags and rice bags, idle and have nothing to do, and they are still academic!" My money is used to help children, not for these people to squander! You tell them what faction they want to divide into, what kind of existence they want to find, and go elsewhere! ”
"Teaching will teach me well, set a good example for children, a correct value, what a thing! What is the difference between this kind of narrow concept factional struggle and jealousy? Stop now, it won't do the next generation any good! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
