Thirty-Seven
The second summer vacation without homework in her life passed quickly, and Shi Jiaojiao was called up by her mother early in the morning to go to the middle school to sign up. Today, I only went to the school to recognize a class, pay a tuition and miscellaneous fee, and didn't need to assemble, so I could go home soon.
The scorching sun shone on the smooth and smooth road, but fortunately, it was renovated from asphalt to cement not long ago, and there was no longer a situation where the wheels were accidentally stained with asphalt on a hot day. "Ah, there are so few people." Shi Jiaojiao, who was riding alone, lifted the brim of her hat and couldn't help but talk to herself. When I was about to get home, I remembered that my mother had told me to buy toilet paper, so I turned around and rode to the small shop diagonally opposite the garment factory.
Shi Jiaojiao set up her bicycle and walked straight into the store, thinking that something was wrong and retreating, tilting her head to see the person standing in the shade of the eaves, it was indeed Tang Jianyu. Shi Jiaojiao quickly recalled, when she passed by the village primary school, the gate was indeed closed, and the open space at the gate was drying the millet of unknown families, and there was no possibility of re-running the school. But why is he here?
Even if the person in front of him was Tang Jianyu, Shi Jiaojiao still called "Teacher Tang" in a tentative tone, Tang Jianyu seemed to be waiting for someone, kept looking at the intersection, and only noticed the girl who was probing her brain when she heard the scream, "Shi Jiaojiao!" ”
Looking at Shi Jiaojiao's curious expression, Tang Jianyu smiled and said, "Do you remember your Teacher Zhao?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded and responded: "Well, the head teacher of the second class in the past." "The little girl has a good memory, he has a tutoring class in his own home, and he is too busy to ask me to come and see." Tang Jianyu paused, squinted at the car driving out of the garment factory, and found that it was not what he was waiting for, and continued: "I really didn't expect that there are so many primary school students to be tutored in the village. ”
Saying that, she looked Shi Jiaojiao up and down, and Shi Jiaojiao raised her neck proudly, "Look, look, I'm a high school student now!" Tang Jianyu laughed out loud, said yes again and again, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "No, why didn't you sign up, you are far away and still need to stay, why are you still at home today?" ”
Shi Jiaojiao understood as soon as she heard that Tang Jianyu, like herself, naturally thought that she would go to a farther place to study in high school. But in fact, she had no choice. She lowered her head and whispered, "Not far away, the high school and junior high school have moved a wall." "It turns out that this semester, the high school and the junior high school have changed teaching buildings, and poor Shi Jiaojiao's new high school class is next door to the old junior high school class, I am really speechless to ask the sky!
After listening to the girl's words and looking at her expression, Tang Jianyu felt incredible, and his voice couldn't help but get louder, "What are you talking about, with such good results, you just stay in the town?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, and added in a low voice, "The town middle school is actually not bad", but there was no remedial effect, and his regret was too obvious.
In fact, Shi Jiaojiao never had the opportunity to choose where to go to high school.
The day after the results of the high school entrance examination were announced, Shi Jiaojiao went to the head teacher with her mother as promised. When I entered the classroom, I may have talked to other parents before, the head teacher was drinking water, and there were three teachers who were born at the same time, one of whom Shi Jiaojiao had a little impression that she was the vice principal.
Shi Jiaojiao called "report", and the head teacher beckoned them to sit down and face to face with the four teachers. "Director Jiang, this is Shi Jiaojiao, the first place in our class, this is her mother. Shi Jiaojiao's mother, this is our Vice Principal Jiang, and also the person in charge of high school admissions this time...... "The head teacher briefly introduced it in the middle. The short and fat middle-aged man known as Director Jiang modestly stretched out his hand, Shi Jiaojiao's mother hesitated for a while, and the two simply shook hands.
At the beginning, the head teacher reported to the vice principal that she knew about Shi Jiaojiao's usual study and family situation, and then it was basically Director Jiang who was talking, and the other three people listened.
Director Jiang first praised Shi Jiaojiao for how smart she was, and then greeted Shi's father who did not show up, and then affirmed Shi Jiaojiao's family education...... After these words, Shi's mother, who had been very nervous, finally relaxed.
When Director Jiang started from the private school and introduced the town middle school to Shi's mother, Shi Jiaojiao finally couldn't help but desert, she wondered if the commissary would sell fried tenderloin today, and she could eat it with her mother later; There are so many students in the third year of junior high school, and they talk about when they talk about when, it's really hard to be a teacher; I don't want to be a teacher in the future, I still want to be a painter, but painters are so poor, I can't be poor, I should be a female boss! Ah, I'd better get into a good university first, Tsinghua University or Peking University? I should be able to, hehe......
I don't know how long they talked and what they talked about, but when Shi Jiaojiao came back to her senses, the vice principal had already shook hands with her mother, saying "Shi Jiaojiao is a good seedling, and she must cultivate her ...... well".
Because Shi Jiaojiao couldn't carry her mother on a bicycle, they called "Jumping" to come to town. Now there are fewer and fewer "bouncing" in the town, and my mother is reluctant to call a more comfortable and fast tricycle, and I can't even think of taking a taxi. Shi Jiaojiao once felt that waving on the side of the road to stop a taxi and getting in it was the coolest thing.
Mother and daughter walked along the street to the end of the street, and the T-junction next to the noodle shop was the easiest place to shout "bouncing". Shi Jiaojiao had a sulking and a hint of expectation, which made her compete with her mother. No one spoke, just walked silently.
Mother suddenly grabbed Shi Jiaojiao's hand, her eyes were full of love, "Our Jiaojiao is so good, the school is fighting for it." Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head and asked, "What do you mean?" Mom smiled and said to herself, "The vice principal is different, it makes sense, what city and county are not suitable for people like us." There are too many smart kids in the city, and you will definitely suffer if you go! I am familiar with everything here, and the teachers will take special care of me, so I will still go to a good university in the end! I used to tell your father that gold shines everywhere......"
This passage is so contradictory, Shi Jiaojiao doesn't want to go into detail, she only feels that the woman in front of her mouth is so disappointing: why don't you ask me, even if it's just a simple question: "Jiaojiao, what do you think?" "I have read your expectations and have never been able to live up to them, do you understand me?
I don't have the authority to make decisions, I just want you to consult with me first.
The mother didn't notice Shi Jiaojiao's expressionless face at all, took her daughter's hand and walked forward, and said happily: "I really don't know, there is such a high scholarship, more than 4,000!" I have to work overtime for three or four months, and your hairy boy will be able to take the exam for me for three or four months! ”……
At least, at least, Mom and Dad are happy, so be it...... The poor life made Shi Jiaojiao adapt to the disappointment early on, and quickly rescued herself.
It was a long silence, Shi Jiaojiao didn't speak, and Tang Jianyu had already figured out the ins and outs. "Jiaojiao," Tang Jianyu looked at the girl's clean eyes raised in response, touched the top of her head with fine hair, and whispered, "Don't be disappointed." ”
