"You're a bit witty, but if you're exposed, for example, if a neighbor happens to be passing by and casually asks, you'll find out that you're not from here, isn't that just a problem for me and your children?" The old man's eyes showed a bit of contempt: "If you want to be a hero, you have to think about it carefully." ”

Huo Ran and the young student's faces were slightly red, their actions just now were a little impulsive, and they didn't think about the consequences.

"Alright, let's go!" The old man waved his hand, not looking at their apologetic and ashamed expressions, "Young man, your future is still very long, remember to be thoughtful." ”

The old man walked into the house slowly and decisively, refusing to say anything more.

"My name is Chu Jun, thank you!" The young students thanked them very solemnly.

Huo Ran accepted it calmly, she did take a big risk.

"May I ask, what just happened?" Huo Ran said curiously.

Chu Jun looked indignant: "I and several of my classmates published an article in the newspaper exposing the wolf ambitions of these people, which was echoed by some people. They're there to catch us and try to shut us up! But even if I die, my soul will wander the land and will not keep my mouth shut! ”

Huo Ran was infected by his enthusiasm, and his hand was slightly forced. There are numb death-seekers here, and there are also such passionate people with lofty ideals.

"Mother!" Xiyue called her softly: "Is this brother a scholar?" ”

"I'm a student at Kyoto University!" Chu Jun said proudly: "Little sister, have you heard of Jingda?" It is the best school in our country! ”

Xiyue burst into surprise and said: "Mother, then you go to Beijing University to teach!" ”

Chu Jun looked at their mother and daughter a few times in surprise, originally thought that they were ordinary Chinese people, but they had great courage, maybe they had other skills.

"Now that the principal is recruiting talents in an eclectic way, I wonder what kind of knowledge you want to teach?" Chu Jun pointed out to her: "The principal doesn't attach great importance to qualifications, but to talent. Usually he interviews teachers in person."

Huo Ran thought that Beijing University was indeed an excellent school, if it wasn't for a coincidence, she would probably become a student there, and it would be a dream to be able to teach, but I don't know if my level is enough.

"Arithmetic, I want to try arithmetic. By the way, my name is Xie Mei. ”

Chu Feng has the unique vitality of a young man: "It's better to go now." I see you're carrying luggage, are you ready to travel? He was a little worried: "If you apply, will you have to wait until you come back to teach?" ”

Huo Ran smiled slightly: "We just came to Beiping from other places. I'm going to trouble you to show us the way. ”

Chu Jun clapped his hands and was a little excited: "It seems that we are very fateful!" Sister Xie, if you can be hired, there happens to be a place to live in the school, and you can find a place to stay. ”

The president of Beijing University really attaches great importance to learning, and he personally interviewed Huo Ran.

"Your knowledge is not bad" The headmaster, dressed in a long robe, took off her eyes and flipped through her exam paper: "Can you talk about why you want to be a teacher?" ”

Huo Ran sat upright in the chair, this is the first time in his life to apply for the first time to introduce himself.

"My father used to be a gentleman at a private school. Since I was a child, I have thought that it is a very happy thing to share my knowledge with one person and many other people," Huo Ran said: "It makes me feel very accomplished to spread knowledge in the hearts of these young students and wait for them to grow and sprout. ”

The principal saw Huo Ran's sincerity, and when Huo Ran answered the questionnaire, he and Chu Jun briefly understood the process of their acquaintance, and he was impressed by this mother who was not amazing, only had confident eyes and bright eyes.

"Sharing, that's a good word. Every student here is hard-won, some of them are for their families, some are for the country's tomorrow, and many students have come here from thousands of miles away, hoping to remember today's words in the future. Also, your grades are good, but teaching others is different from your own education. ”

The principal looked at her test papers, excellent results, and indeed a talent, "That's it, I heard Chu Jun say that you haven't found a place to live when you just arrived in Beijing." Settle down today, and tomorrow you go to Mr. Zhang, who also teaches arithmetic, and you need to understand the current situation of the students and the progress of teaching. ”

Huo Ran knew that he had been hired temporarily and entered the probationary period, so he couldn't hide his excitement and went out with joy on his face.

"It seems that I will call Mr. Xie in the future," Chu Jun said very happily for her.

The principal called Chu Jun to give a few simple instructions, and then hurriedly left.

"Mr. Xie, this is where you live." Chu Jun took the lead in pushing open the door, "There are gentlemen from our school living around. You can visit at your leisure. ”

Huo Ran Xiyue then entered the door, a simple living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen. Putting the luggage on the bed, Xiyue shook her arm excitedly: "Mother, will this be our home in the future?" ”

"Yes, this will be our home from now on." Huo Ran turned his head to Chu Jun and said, "Thank you today." It's just that there is nothing in the house, how about inviting you over for tea tomorrow? ”

Chu Jun grabbed his hair and smiled heartily: "If you want to thank you, I should thank you first." Sir, you saved my life! I know you have a lot of things to do right now, so I'll take my leave and come back tomorrow. ”

Huo Ran sent him out, and when he turned around, he found that Xiyue was jumping around excitedly like a rabbit.

"We've got a home, we've got a home!" She shouted happily, and the small room was filled with her innocent laughter.

Huo Ran felt a little apologetic in his heart. Although she saved the child, she forcibly stripped her from her familiar environment and lived in someone else's home.

"Satsuki, do you like it here or your old hometown?"

"Of course it's here! As long as my mother is by your side, it's all right there! Xiyue said seriously: "I don't like my hometown. In my hometown, I can't just go out, otherwise I will be made fun of by others. The county seat is good, and it's good here. ”

"We probably won't be living with your dad anymore." Huo Ran had hinted at this sentence before, but he always felt that Xiyue was still young and full of expectations for his father, so he couldn't bear to tell her directly, and today he suddenly found that he looked down on this child.

Xiyue lowered her head and sorted out her clothes: "I already knew. Mother, you don't have to worry, I just want to see what he looks like. Sister Zhao secretly told me that my father, who hasn't been home for ten years, is likely to have someone outside, and we and my father are actually strangers, he has abandoned us, why do I expect him? ”

"Satsuki, you've grown up." Huo Ran sighed, Xie Mei hopes that this child will be happy, but Huo Ran doesn't want Xiyue to pin all her expectations on others, she must have her own life, her own thoughts, not a subordinate of her husband at home, but a strong and independent personality.

From the first killing, Huo Ran seemed to be reborn and had more murderous energy, but Huo Ran accepted it very calmly, and she had already vaguely known this in her heart.

Sometimes she wanted to simply find Cheng Lan directly and kill him with a knife to make herself happy. But that's not what Xie Mei wants. Moreover, those who kill will always be killed. is used to killing, not to mention ability, the heavier she will kill, the more she forgets herself. She wants to hide her murderous intentions, not to show people easily, and never to be afraid of people.

And after this day and seeing the people who are in a state of confusion, Huo Ran suddenly felt that Cheng Lan was so small, just a speck of dust in her life.

The world is so big, why would she waste her life on things that aren't worth it.
