As a result, Xia Lei was still not seen, as if she had disappeared from school. "She didn't come, no one received the award certificate when the class meeting was held, and then her neighbor in the next class helped her bring it back." Zhang Jie said. Shi Jiaojiao began to think back to the last time she met Xia Lei, it was a long time ago that the two of them went to the bubble tea shop to have snacks. "You call her house and ask, after all, they are good friends." Zhang Jie shook the can in her hand, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and try it again." When she was about to say goodbye to Zhang Jie, Shi Jiaojiao remembered that she had to study at night, "It's really ......."

"Haha! Forget about making up classes! Zhang Jie saw through it at a glance and said, "Do you arrange self-study or free activities in the afternoon?" Shi Jiaojiao looked at Zhang Jie's face, and before she could speak, Zhang Jie said again: "If you are free, if you don't want to ride more, go to my house!" It's just to the west. Shi Jiaojiao swayed between going home to eat with her father and visiting the chemical engineer's house, and after a fierce struggle, she decided to go home.

"I have to go back and call Xia Lei, I'm worried." Shi Jiaojiao said to Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie raised her eyebrows, with an expression of "see if I believe you or not", but she didn't do much persuasion, she understood that Shi Jiaojiao didn't want to face the embarrassing greetings that suddenly came to the door, and her parents were really not sociable people, since she was a child, almost no friends have been to the house twice.

Coming out of the carport, Shi Jiaojiao watched a large number of students pass in front of her, many of them were junior high school students, laughing and laughing, and some had sad faces. Shi Jiaojiao stopped in place, looked at the junior high school building in the distance, and thought of the complicated eyes of the head teacher when he handed out the award certificate, which made Shi Jiaojiao want to go to Tang Jianyu. Let Tang Jianyu, as a math teacher, educate him professionally, and he will inevitably add a few extremely effective words of reassurance, and Shi Jiaojiao will immediately feel that the situation is not very bad.

The last question of this mathematics test paper is to find the derivation of composite functions, and the most ridiculous thing is that Shi Jiaojiao recognized it as soon as she saw the question, and Tang Jianyu clearly wrote the example questions of the derivation process step by step, and the test paper only made changes to the inverse function, but she couldn't find it yet. "How can I ask Mr. Tang to help you? Let's fight for yourself! Shi Jiaojiao patted her cheek and pushed the cart towards the north gate.

"Dad, are you not paying for your phone?" Shi Jiaojiao put her phone on her face and asked. Since discovering that Xia Lei had no news, she made more than a dozen phone calls to her house to no avail, which made the girl suddenly have a new idea. Father Shi was oiling the chain of his daughter's bicycle and shaking the pedals from time to time. Hearing his daughter's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can hear the sound of 'toot' from here, but no one listens to it." If you don't pay, people will tell you directly that the shutdown is down! There was a cold busy sound from the earpiece, Shi Jiaojiao closed the phone heartily, sighed, and said to herself: "I know everything, but what the hell is going on, why has no one listened to it." ”

Father Shi had never met Xia Lei, but he heard that his daughter often talked about it, and he also knew that they had a good relationship. He put down the work in his hand, stood beside Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Don't worry, maybe there is something at home, maybe you have gone to another place!" Didn't you say that their family also came back from out of town? Shi Jiaojiao had no choice, so she had to perfunctorily say, "Well, there must be something", and went to school uneasy.

During the make-up class, Shi Jiaojiao went to Xia Lei's class every once in a while, which made Zhang Jie and Wu Xingfei, who were originally unconcerned, nervous. "I've been to her house, and the whole house is empty, like!" Shi Jiaojiao said, "I always ask for leave a few weeks before the exam, and the examiner disappears directly after the exam. Zhang Jie thought back and said, "I've always been like this, and I didn't ask much when she came to class." Shi Jiaojiao frowned, "In other words, it didn't disappear suddenly." Zhang Jie nodded.

Wu Xingfei panted and ran over from the stairway, because he stopped suddenly, he grabbed the railing behind Shi Jiaojiao, and only then did he control not being sent out by inertia. He calmed his breath, looked at Shi Jiaojiao's face and said, "I went to the head teacher's drawer, but I didn't find Xia Lei's fake note." Zhang Jie handed Wu Xingfei a tissue and said, "I asked her neighbor a long time ago, but I only said that someone in their family seems to be sick, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Hearing this, Shi Jiaojiao was even more shocked, and her brows were almost immediately twisted together, "My mother, who is sick and how sick is it!" What the hell is going on, rush to death! Shi Jiaojiao leaned on the railing behind her and said, "Usually she will definitely tell me, but now like this, doesn't it mean that she is the one who is sick!" ”

Looking at Shi Jiaojiao's pale face, Wu Xingfei said in a panic: "Don't worry, she looks good in class!" Zhang Jie also hurriedly added, "It's definitely not her, if it's her, how can his neighbor not know?" Shi Jiaojiao was shocked and suspicious, but she still tried to calm down and looked at the two friends who were anxious with her.

Wu Xingfei leaned down, put his hand in front of Shi Jiaojiao, helped her calm down, and said softly: "Don't worry, our head teacher is not here at this time, when he comes, I will help you ask, he must know why Xia Lei asked for leave!" Zhang Jie hurriedly echoed and said "yes" repeatedly. Shi Jiaojiao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded desperately in the class bell, "I'll come back for the next class!" ”

Wu Xingfei used the white eyes of the head teacher to add a sentence "The college entrance examination is just around the corner, now is not the time to reflect the love of classmates, don't distract your attention to unnecessary places", in exchange for the words "there is something at home", before he had time to ask more, he was forced back to the classroom by the male teacher with his eyes. Shi Jiaojiao's disappointment was written in her eyes, and she was stunned and pounced on Wu Xingfei's face, "Who can't see that there is something going on at her family......" The three of them stood at the top of the stairs at a loss.

Xia Lei was all absent from the make-up class for a week, and until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Jiaojiao was still anxiously waiting for her news.

The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala has begun on TV, and the sound of firecrackers outdoors comes and goes. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family moves the dining table to the room so that they can sit together and watch TV while preparing tomorrow's dumplings and dumplings. "Ah, it's been a long time since the family celebrated the New Year together!" Daddy Shi held a piece of dumpling wrapper, and sighed with the filling of half a chopstick, leek and egg.

With a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, Mother Shi neatly rolled out a beautiful round piece with a beer bottle and threw it in front of the father and daughter. Shi Jiaojiao sat absentmindedly, wrapped a dumpling in her hand for ten minutes, her dough was pinched and cracked, and she was unconscious, mechanically opening and closing her thumb. Father Shi gave his wife a look, and the husband and wife secretly laughed at their daughter's stupidity.

Because Shi's father said that the louder the TV, the more lively the atmosphere of the New Year, so that the small mobile phone placed on the bedside was about to explode, so Shi's mother asked suspiciously: "Is the phone ringing?" The three of them didn't turn up the volume of the TV, they all held their breath and listened, and after a while, they confirmed that it was indeed the sound of the mobile phone. Daddy Shi just stood up, wiping his hands on his apron and gesturing to get his mobile phone. Shi Jiaojiao "snapped" and threw the poor dumplings in her hand, shouting: "Let me take it!" ”

In less than ten seconds, "Looking for you, an uncle." Shi Jiaojiao half-sat on the edge of the bed, and stretched out the phone to her father with an indifferent face, which made her mother laugh for a while. Who? Dad took the phone suspiciously and said "Hey", and then his expression changed greatly, his face was red and white, and he said the most enthusiastic New Year's greetings in his mouth. "Hurry up, say a few words." Father Shi waved at his wife and sent the phone to her ear without waiting for her to react.

Mother Shi originally looked puzzled, this phone seemed to have magic, she made the most emotional voice as soon as she heard the voice on the other side, and now it was Shi Jiaojiao's turn to look confused. "Jiaojiao, come here, give your uncle a New Year's greeting!" The husband and wife eagerly asked for their daughter, so Shi Jiaojiao instinctively stepped back and asked in a low voice, "Who?" People from my hometown? "No, no, no." "Hey, aunts and uncles, I wish you a happy new year! ……”

It turned out to be another colleague who was injured in the oil pipe explosion. He recovered well, but he was no longer able to do the ship's work due to physical reasons. "I'm recovering well, and now I'm running a breakfast shop at home, brother, you have to be well! New Year, New Weather...... "He said that next year, when the children are older, the family will come to visit the New Year; It is said that an accident is an accident, and no one can do anything about it; said that he recognized Shi's father as a lifelong brother......

Father Shi took the phone, looked at his wife and daughter and listened to the phone, his face was at a loss, crying and laughing. "Good next year, good New Year, all good! It's a new beginning! Why don't I open a breakfast shop too! ......" The fireworks were clearly extinguished, and the sound of firecrackers was far and near, which made Shi's father even more incoherent, but his mother and Shi Jiaojiao both understood his mood.
