"Do you know why I was a week late for my first intake?" Erya opened his mouth as a question sentence, even if it was a question sentence, it was not what I was expecting, "Do you know that I have liked you for three years".

Curiosity overshadowed disappointment, and I replied to her, "Why?" ”

"I'm sick."

"What disease?"

"Chickenpox."

"Oh......"

I took a serious look at Erya's face, which was as clean as jade, and there were no acne marks. I nodded reassuringly, thinking to myself that it was fortunate that my future daughter-in-law did not have acne scars, otherwise she would not look good if she had a pockmarked face.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but make the first soul torture of my attitude towards feelings.

If Erya grows into a pockmarked face, will I still like her?

I hesitated.

Later, people called me the Appearance Association. I am a member of the Appearance Society.

Erya not only told me that the reason why she was a week late for reporting was chickenpox, but also solved my question about why Sijie knew that Erya would come to report a week late.

The Four Precepts are actually one grade higher than us. When we were in the fifth grade, he was already in the sixth grade.

It was also that year that his father, then director of our county construction bureau, committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Erya said that she had not heard Sijie say anything about his father in person, nor had she taken the initiative to ask, but on a construction site in Beijing, she had heard people talk about it behind her back.

Sijie's father was investigated by the organization because there was a project quality problem in the riverside garden, a well-known residential community in the county, and a large number of people made trouble, and there were mass incidents in which people were injured.

There are various rumors about the cause of the quality of the house, the most famous of which is that Sijie's father has repeatedly accepted gifts from developers and given special attention to the quality inspection of the project.

Real estate development would have involved many government departments, but Sijie's father took all the responsibility alone.

On a moonlit night, Sijie's father jumped from the building of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Some people say that the father of the four precepts is afraid of sin, and some people say that the father of the four precepts is a person who carries everything.

But the final tone for the father of the four precepts was to commit suicide in fear of sin.

When a person dies, all the dirty water can be splashed on him. As a result, the housing quality problem was finally characterized as poor construction supervision.

Whether there is a lack of regulation or not, no one knows. No one knows whether Sijie's father was corrupt or bribed.

When the man dies, the matter is settled.

In the end, the relevant personnel of the relevant departments accepted some administrative penalties, and the developer repaired the house and promised to extend the warranty period.

That's the end of it.

Sijie's father's political career and life career are also over.

There are also some roadside news that the developer and the government have promised compensation for the "death" of Sijie's father. As for the content of the compensation, no one knows, but the fact in front of us is that Sijie's mother, who had originally opened a company in the county seat to take over some urban public service construction projects, went directly to Beijing from the county seat in the second year after Sijie's father's death, and soon became a project manager in a real estate development company in Beijing.

The developer of Riverside Gardens is based in Beijing.

Erya's father happens to be a contractor in charge of the project by Sijie's mother.

As for the four precepts, I was originally in the sixth grade of the county's elementary school, but every day I would face all kinds of direct or indirect fingers and gossip from my classmates.

After finishing the sixth grade of primary school in a daze, Sijie's academic performance was a mess. Sijie's mother naturally knew the reason, but it was impossible to take the child to Beijing, so she entrusted Sijie to his aunt in Ganbai.

Sijie's mother considered that Sijie would eventually go back to the county to study in high school, and he might still meet his former classmates at that time, plus Sijie had a messy life in the year after his father's death, and there was nothing to gain from learning, so she simply let Sijie stay one level, on the one hand, you can re-consolidate the knowledge of the sixth grade of primary school, and on the other hand, you can also stagger your classmates in the future.

Therefore, Sijie's invincible existence in the sixth grade of elementary school is because he has really studied for a year, not because of genes, but just because of the foundation, and my doubts were finally solved after three years.

In the summer when he graduated from the sixth grade of primary school, Sijie went to Beijing, and Erya also went to Beijing.

They met at the construction site where their parents worked, Sijie's mother wore a red hard hat, and Erya's father wore a yellow hard hat. Although the level on the construction site is different, it does not prevent Erya and Sijie from spending a pleasant summer vacation together in Beijing.

When he was about to return home to school, Erya suddenly had chickenpox. You can't see the wind when you get out of chickenpox, otherwise you will leave acne marks on your face in the future. This is fatal for a girl, so Erya's father asks for leave from school.

The four precepts naturally know this. All the mysteries are solved.

Although Erya had already told me everything, I still asked Sijie to ask the old question at the class reunion during the winter vacation of my freshman year, not because I didn't believe Erya, but because I wanted Sijie to admit that it was not telepathy, but prior knowledge.

"When Sijie ate acne, what did you turn your head and say to Sijie?"

I didn't look at me when Erya turned his head to look at me, but at the four precepts, and I also wanted to decipher them together.

"Nothing." Erya smiled, remembering that September three years ago, "I just showed him that my face was as perfect as ever." ”

I only learned that before Sijie left Beijing and returned, he laughed at Erya and ridiculed Erya for not becoming Er Mazi.

The first thing Erya did when she returned to the classroom was to turn her face and declare to Sijie that her face was not numb.

After Erya finished talking about this experience, she suddenly felt a little sad, leaned on the railing of the playground, looked at the river flowing slowly eastward, and said to me, "I think of the four precepts." ”

"Me too." I say.

……

Although the ninth year of the school is already legal, and the school absolutely does not allow a student to drop out, in fact, we have already completed the graduation exam.

The high school entrance examination, which can also be called the high school entrance examination, is no longer the full stop of the nine-year compulsory education.

The four precepts can be obtained with a junior high school graduation certificate. Neither his mother, nor the leaders and teachers of the experimental middle school violated the compulsory education law.

I have always been haunted by the fact that the teachers did not visit his home, did not persuade him to return to the four precepts, and brought him back to school.

With Sijie's academic performance, I guess he can be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, and fill in the school's honor roll another example for the younger students to learn.

After Erya told me about the legends of Sijie's father, I, who was upright and youthful, suddenly looked down on the school leaders and our teachers.

I think they didn't try to persuade the four precepts back because something happened to the father of the four precepts, and the teachers were looking at the four precepts with a kind of colored glasses.

I also thought of the change of seats in the first year of junior high school, where the teacher gave me and Erya preferential treatment, but chose to ignore the four precepts.

"In another month, we can say goodbye to this place."

Combined with the family changes of Sijie told by Erya, thinking about all the unequal treatment that Sijie has encountered in school in the past three years, I suddenly have my first disgust with this simple and beautiful school.

"Go back to the classroom, study hard, be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, and go to Beijing to study at the university in the future." Erya said, "My dad called home and said that Sijie had gone to Beijing. Then we can be together again. ”
