Forty-one
After going to the sixth grandmother's house to see the rhubarb, Shi Jiaojiao hugged back the "eldest son" of the rhubarb and named it Huahua. Originally, Shi Jiaojiao wanted to be more foreign, and called "Polly" or "Oscar" or something, but her mother rejected her words, "It's not good to call, how good it is to name it according to the dog's coat color, it's called Huahua." Shi Jiaojiao thought about it, the dogs scattered all over the village were either called "Big Rhubarb" or "Little Black...... There's really nothing wrong with that, just call it Huahua.
The early winter morning was already very cold, and you could see the white air when you spoke. Shi Jiaojiao was yelled at by her mother, "Don't go to school soon, I'm going to send Huahua away!" It's a plaything. Shi Jiaojiao really wanted to play with Huahua for a while, but she had no choice but to stand up. The dog was amused, jumping and wagging his tail to keep the little master.
Seeing that it was too late, Shi Jiaojiao reluctantly left home. Huahua is very close to her family, and she follows everyone who goes out. At this moment, Huahua stuck out her tongue, and her four little short legs were rounded, chasing after Shi Jiaojiao's bicycle. At first, Shi Jiaojiao was worried that it would be far away and would be lost or taken away, but then it was fine, and over time she got used to being accompanied by Huahua.
As soon as she sat down in her seat, the class bell rang, Shi Jiaojiao secretly rejoiced, patted her heart, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." During this period, Zhang Jie had been looking at Shi Jiaojiao with a particularly complicated look, Shi Jiaojiao was stared at, and asked with disgust: "Early in the morning, what are you looking at, it's weird and scary." The corners of Zhang Jie's mouth turned downward, took out the language book he read in the morning, and said, "It's nothing." Shi Jiaojiao glanced at it suspiciously, and without thinking too much, she was ready to read it early.
It wasn't until the second physical education class in the afternoon, when no one asked Shi Jiaojiao to do activities together, that she realized that something was wrong! Since the morning, who she talks to, others are a little ignorant; At noon, a group of classmates sat together in the classroom and talked and laughed, and as soon as she entered the door, they went back to their seats and dispersed; I asked female classmates to go to the toilet together during class, and several people made excuses not to go...... Even when Wu Xingfei saw him, he looked like he wanted to say something!
Shi Jiaojiao frowned and sat in her seat, and finally waited for Zhang Jie. She sat down slowly with a bottle of soda, and Shi Jiaojiao pulled her and asked, "What's going on today, everyone seems to be avoiding me." Zhang Jie took a sip of soda, kept her eyes off Shi Jiaojiao's face, and hiccuped and asked, "You just found out?" ”
Shi Jiaojiao didn't have the heart to say anything else, and asked eagerly, "Why?" I can't think of a reason. Looking at the anxious expressions of her fellow tablemates, Zhang Jie shrugged, "It's nothing more than some rumors!" I didn't ask, and I didn't know what to say. Shi Jiaojiao smacked her lips and fell into a state of hard contemplation again.
Before the evening self-study, Xia Lei hurriedly came to Shi Jiaojiao's classroom and found that Shi Jiaojiao was not there, so she thought about it and silently retreated to her class. And Shi Jiaojiao finally caught a petite girl in the class who spoke softly to everyone at dinner. "What the hell is going on, you tell me." Shi Jiaojiao blocked people in the cafeteria.
Seeing Shi Jiaojiao like this, the girl had no choice but to sit down, look around, and ask, "Are your high school entrance examination results very good?" Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and nodded, "More than seven hundred." The girl's face was full of words, "Is it true?" Looking at Shi Jiaojiao blankly, Shi Jiaojiao became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but urge.
Shi Jiaojiao's mind was the soft voice of that classmate for the whole evening self-study, "They said that you didn't go to a better school with such good grades because when you were a class cadre in junior high school, you stole the class fee and were punished, and other schools didn't accept you." ”
After being hit on the elbow five times, Shi Jiaojiao came back to her senses. She thought that the other party was going to play a game of backgammon on the composition text with a two-color ballpoint pen as usual, so she said expressionlessly: "I'm not in the mood." Who knew that Zhang Jie's elbow still hit his arm at once. Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and glared angrily at the same table about to get angry, only to find that people were reminding her that someone was looking for her outside.
Shi Jiaojiao quietly confirmed that the teacher on duty was not in the classroom, so she slipped in front of Xia Lei. As soon as the two avoided the doors and windows, Xia Lei complained in a hurry, "Where did you go, I couldn't find you for dinner, and I was asked to pounce on me during class." I'm in a hurry! Shi Jiaojiao immediately understood, and opened her mouth to ask: "Your class is also spreading the news that I stole money?" ”
Xia Lei was stunned, "Yes, you already know?" "How could I not know." "That's nonsense! I have to find out who it is! Shi Jiaojiao looked at her indignant good friend, thinking back to the grievances of the day, but at this moment her heart calmed down.
It's a good rumor, but it's already spreading. Originally, the old classmates in junior high school already accounted for a minority, and it is impossible to say how many can speak for themselves. I can't preach my innocence class by class, because not only will no one listen, but it will add to the ridicule......
Thinking along this line of thought, Shi Jiaojiao patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and said, "Ignore it, it'll be fine after a while." Xia Lei came to discuss with Shi Jiaojiao, how to find out the rumor-mongers and teach her a lesson, seeing that the party had no fighting spirit like this, she couldn't help but be angry from her heart, and she was fierce: "You are too cowardly!" This slander can be endured! ”
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, Shi Jiaojiao turned around and saw a teacher pacing into the classroom next door, turned her head and whispered to Xia Lei: "There are more chickens and dogs in our village, I grew up in this environment since I was a child, don't worry about me." As for who it is, I don't have a clue and I don't want to find out. Even if it is found out by then, the bad impression has already been formed. It's better to let it sink sooner. ”
Hearing this, Xia Lei's tense shoulders relaxed. She saw her good friend's calm eyes through the light in the classroom, and her heart ached. What kind of years did it take for such a lovely girl to behave like a middle-aged person at the age of only sixteen?
And, the trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop. Rumors are spreading.
After the recess exercise the next day, some students who didn't know pointed at Shi Jiaojiao, and when Shi Jiaojiao looked over, they pretended to be nothing; There are many students from other classes who come to probe their brains during class; Several of her classmates came to her to verify the truth, but after she said "no", they all left with disdain...... Shi Jiaojiao has remained silent except for denying it to the seekers.
In the last class meeting on the third day, the chubby young male teacher said on the stage that from next week, there will be city leaders from time to time to review, and the school's creation of a "three-star high school" has entered the evaluation stage. "This is a big thing for the school, and it's also a big thing for you, and the students will behave well and cooperate fully."
"There are thieves in that class of cadres, so we need to find out, right?" A boy's voice came from the far corner of the classroom, and there was a sudden silence in the class, and the head teacher couldn't help but glance at Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao closed her eyes and felt a distrustful gaze stabbing her back.
