Eight

Day after day, Chen Yue's 2 yuan handed over every day was almost a hundred. All he hoped was that the semester would end soon. But it's almost over now. And then, after a winter break, continue to survive the semester?

Because he asked for breakfast money every day, his mother also began to be suspicious: why didn't he want to eat the porridge I cooked hot every morning, and prefers 2 yuan to go out to buy breakfast?

One day, in order to surprise her son, the mother bought red beans the day before. Today, my mother cooks the long-awaited red bean porridge that Chen Yue has been asking for. But the result surprised her mother very much, "Chen Yue, this is your favorite red bean porridge." The mother said in surprise and anger.

Chen Yue insisted on buying breakfast for 2 yuan, and her mother also decided that her son would drink porridge. In the end, Chen Yue actually squatted in the corner and cried, and he pleaded with his mother in a mournful voice. The mother was busy walking between the kitchen and the living room, ignoring it. The crying grew louder and louder. Spread it to a neighbor's house. Jiang Yang ran out with his schoolbag on his back and walked into Chen Yue's house. He saw Chen Yue curled up in the corner of the corridor and cried. "What's wrong?" Jiang Yang came over and asked comfortingly.

Chen Yue didn't make a sound, stopped crying, and kept blowing her nose. Jiang Yang approached and bent down, one hand on his back to reassure, "What the hell is wrong, Chen Yue?" He whispered in his ear.

Chen Yue still didn't answer. At this time, the mother came over and said, "This child is crazy, you don't have to worry about him Jiangyang, you go to school, I'll see how long this child will come." ”

Jiang Yang looked at Chen Yue's mother and was silent in surprise. What happened to make this loving mother say such heartless words. Jiang Yang walked up to Chen Yue and squatted down, hugging him with one hand, "Don't cry!" "Don't cry!" Jiang Yang comforted again. "What's the matter, oh this is, as for crying like this, get up!" Jiang Yang said as he reached out to hold Chen Yue's arm and pulled him up.

"Auntie, we went to school." Jiang Yang shouted towards the room.

"No, 2 bucks, 2 bucks." Chen Yue dragged her steps, unwilling to leave.

"Do you want 2 bucks?" Jiang Yang asked him.

"Buy and eat early."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and get the money, and I'll treat you to eat today." Jiang Yang said and brought Chen Yue to the door, ran home by himself, and stretched out his hand to show Chen Yue when he came out. "Look, let's go, please eat." He hugged Chen Yue's shoulder, and the two went to school together.

"You still haven't changed, that little crybaby. Isn't it just early, your mother won't give it, forget it. On the way, Jiang Yang wholeheartedly comforted Chen Yue so that he could be refreshed.

Indeed, he was sincerely persuaded by his good friend Jiang Yang, and held the rice ball handed by Jiang Yang himself in his hand. He stopped crying, but he still had fear in his heart, and he couldn't control it until he entered the school.

"Actually, actually..."Chen Yue stopped at the roadbed where the cypress trees were planted.

Jiang Yang looked at him curiously, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Actually, I asked for money for Cheng Peng."

"To him?"

"Well, I lied to my mom and I lied to you." Chen Yue's nose became sour again when she said this.

"You owe him?"

"It's not."

"Oh my God, what about you?"

It was the rush hour of school, and students of all grades passed them back and forth. After listening to Chen Yue's words, Jiang Yang understood that there was a hidden situation here, he looked around, and vigilantly took Chen Yue downstairs to the library, where no students would pass by, and it was also very quiet.

"What? Are you really willing to listen to him and give it to you if you tell you? Jiang Yang explained to Chen Yue that he was dizzy, "What a Cheng Peng, he actually bullied my friend." You're really, if you didn't tell me earlier, you let this kid win this time. You don't have to give it to him in the future, he is still pestering you, just say what I said, come to me, and I will call the shots for you. Jiang Yang held his head high and was full of confidence when he said this, which made Chen Yue feel infinitely grateful.

In the morning class, whenever class ended, Jiang Yang would look back at Cheng Peng. As long as he sees the slightest move to go to Chen Yue's seat, he will stand up and be ready at any time. Finally, he saw Cheng Peng walking to the front row during the 20-minute break of class activities.

Trouble comes to the door. Chen Yue was immersed in reading, "Knock, knock." His desk knocked twice on the visitor, "Come on," Cheng Peng said, walking out of the classroom. Chen Yue turned his head to the back row and looked, he hoped that Jiang Yang would take the initiative to help him at this time, fortunately, Jiang Yang had already come to the front.

"He told me to get out." Chen Yue stood up to greet Jiang Yang and said in a low voice.

"Okay, I know, you just stay here, don't worry." Jiang Yang smiled at Gu Ling as he spoke.

Gu Ling leaned over at the moment, reciting the book, and when he saw Jiang Yang coming, he cast his gaze, but he didn't stop reciting in his mouth. After she finished memorizing the content that needed to be recited, Jiang Yang had already walked away with her steps. She hurriedly asked, "Chen Yue, what did he tell you just now?" ”

"It's fine, didn't say anything."

"Does it have anything to do with me? Don't worry, I won't tell him. Gu Ling asked, "Does it mean that I have ignored him recently?" ”

Chen Yue scratched her head, and wanted to answer her: No. But he still cared a lot about Jiang Yang's feelings, "Why don't you ignore him?" He asked her rhetorically.

"It's all his fault!" Gu Ling complained, "Who told him to ignore me first." ”

According to Chen Yue's understanding in the past few days, since the relationship between the two of them became stiff, Gu Ling didn't care about him, but on the contrary, he cared more about him. Even in class, she will be distracted.

Jiang Yang walked out of the door and immediately saw Cheng Peng, with his hands in his trouser pockets, Hou there.

"Cheng Peng, I think you must be waiting for someone," he walked up to him, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"Yo! Hello. Cheng Peng smiled slyly and said, "What, who do I want you to take care of?" ”

"Of course I don't want to care, whoever wants to care about you, who cares about it. But—" He stopped halfway through and looked at the other, his face squeezing tightly and his eyes sparkling.

Cheng Peng stretched his hands out of his pockets, swept Jiang Yang's head and looked at the door, as if he understood something. "That kid can't come over yet?" Cheng Peng secretly calculated in his heart: I see, I have backbone today. Don't you dare to come out, and invite such a person, thinking that you can avoid me and not come to the errand? Thought I would be afraid of him, afraid of this Jiangyang?

"I don't have much to say to you." Cheng Peng said and bypassed Jiang Yang and prepared to return to class. Just take a step. "No, there's no need for that." Jiang Yang took a step back and put one hand on the wall to block the way. "I say," he said with a scornful look, "let's settle the matter between the two of us, and turn the matter on someone else, are you sorry?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Peng laughed out loud. In the face of this Jiang Yang, no matter what aspect he thinks, he is willing to have a duel with him in the classroom, in the corridor, and on the street.

"Dare to stand in my way?!" Cheng Peng yelled, but Jiang Yang didn't get out of the way.

The faces of the two were very close to each other. Cheng Peng looked down at the soles of his feet, "I'll count to three!" "He really started counting when he said that." Three! The moment he finished speaking, Cheng Peng raised his fist, followed by Jiang Yang's counterattack. The two fought.

The people in the class and the next class were all shocked. In that situation, we must not step forward to stop it, and the rational thing to do is to do nothing.

In the end, it ended with Jiang Yang's victory. "Don't scream." Jiang Yang reminded, "If I know that you bullied Chen Yue in the future, I will not let you go, don't always think that we are honest, we can be at your mercy, let's go for a snack." When he said this, Cheng Peng kept moving the places where his whole body could move, and resisted with all his might. But the main part was locked by him, and he couldn't turn over his hand, and he couldn't catch the person behind him at all.

"Forget the money you were given before." If it is excessive, Jiang Yang can't say it, all he hopes is that Cheng Peng will not make an example and not make another mistake.

"Alright, I see, let go of your hand." When he was about to go to class, Cheng Peng was willing to lose.

The hand was released. Cheng Peng immediately turned around and pounced again, fortunately, Jiang Yang had already prepared and took precautions in time.

The third class had already begun, and the teacher poked his head out of the classroom door, "Hey, you're in class." ”

The teacher's words still worked, and the two entered the classroom one by one. The classmates looked at them: their pants, their blouses, and the collar of their blouses were crumpled, and their faces were red and blue. Although not all students think so, most understand that they are not going out to communicate with each other and must be out into fight. Gu Ling, who was sitting in the front row, could see it clearly, she stared at his face carefully, worried for a while.

Jiang Yang sat in his seat and stared at the pictures in the textbook in a daze, thinking about it. The table mate cast a curious glance from the side and asked him to say a few words. Zhang Pingping, who was sitting in front of him, looked back at him from time to time. "Are you alright?" Zhang Pingping asked when she turned around for the third time. Jiang Yang didn't answer her, looked at her and shook his head gently. After a while, a note was thrown from his textbook. When he opened it, the note read: Does your face still hurt?

How to reply to her, Jiang Yang picked up the pen and squeezed his nose, thought about it, and finally wrote on the paper: Thank you, it's okay. When he looked up after writing, Zhang Pingping was looking back at him, and he handed the note over. It's always touching to have someone to care for you when you're hurting. But he still tried to be as ordinary and polite as possible when replying to her. Always remind yourself so that you don't let this move too much.

After class, Gu Ling walked to the back row with Chen Yue to come and see him. However, Gu Ling stopped in the aisle halfway through, and she couldn't help but stare at Jiang Yang not far away. He chatted with Zhang Pingping again, and he seemed to be very happy. Gu Ling stood there and watched, feeling a wave of jealousy in his heart for the girl sitting in front of him.

"Jiangyang." Chen Yue walked to Jiangyang's desk and stood and shouted to him.

"Get out of the way!" Someone suddenly ran over and pushed Chen Yue to the side. Chen Yue didn't stand firmly, and fell on Jiang Yang's table. Seeing the situation, Jiang Yang helped him. I saw the man rampage down the aisle, throwing people in both directions and rushing out of the classroom.

"Got into a fight?" Chen Yue asked.

"Hmm."

Judging from the current situation, Jiang Yang has helped him get justice, and he doesn't have to go to his mother every day to tell a lie, but he can't bear to affect his friends from childhood to now. Of course, what he hoped for was not: Jiang Yang didn't care about him, and he always dealt with it by himself. The hope is that he can take some of his worries off the shoulders.

Chen Yue didn't smile at all, he always felt that this matter was not over yet, and more troubles were waiting for him. He lowered his head and patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder. Jiang Yang also patted him on the shoulder, "It's going to be fine." ”

When she walked back from the back row, Chen Yue looked at the bottom left of the blackboard: 7 days before the end of the term.

After school at noon, Gu Ling silently packed her schoolbag and left, Chen Yue wanted to step forward to stop her, but was interrupted by her words. He had to wait in his seat alone.

"Where's she?" Jiang Yang walked over and asked.

"Let's go first."

"Why?"

"I don't know, but I think I'm still angry."

At noon, they walked together again. Going to school together and going home together has completely developed a certain habit. If you don't walk together, you will feel that there are shortcomings around you, and there is something missing.

They used to wait for Gu Ling on a path, but they waited for a long time, and Gu Ling didn't show up. "Why haven't you come yet?" They walked closer to Gu Ling's house, and Jiang Yang asked curiously.

They continued to wait for a while. Chen Yue turned a corner in the next alley and approached a snack shop. I saw him running out in a hurry, "Jiang Yang, it's not good, it's already two twenty o'clock" He shouted at Jiang Yang as he ran.

"Ah, two-twenty, that's right?"

"I can't be wrong, the boss personally looked at the clock and told me."

"Let's go, it's late." Jiang Yang hurriedly beckoned.

"Don't you wait for Gu Ling?"

"No, she must have gone to school before we came." After Jiang Yang finished speaking, the two ran away quickly.

Actually, they came here quite early, and the students on the road had just left the house.

It's a pity that the location where they are waiting can't see the door of Gu Ling's house, that is to say, the moment she opens the door, they don't know. At that time: when Gu Ling went out, they were still standing there. She saw them waiting in the old place. Only this time, instead of walking past them to meet them as before, she turned and walked backwards through the fields to the streets, and after a struggle of ideas, she made a great circle to avoid their route. It's so much - I'm angry, and I'm completely angry in my heart.

When you get up the ramp, you're almost at school. The two of them covered their noses, and their faces were red from the wind.

The other classes were already seated, and the teachers were standing on the podium to teach. They strode up the stairs to the second floor, stopped in front of their class, and waited for the classroom. When they actually opened the door and entered, they remembered that the first period of the afternoon was physical education, followed by two English lessons. But when they walked to their seats, the classroom was not empty, there was also a classmate. The classmate slept on his stomach in the back seat.

Jiang Yang walked over, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" He shook his sleeping classmate.

Shaking it again, the classmate shook his head and blinked, "My stomach is upset"

"They're all on the playground, aren't they?"

"Yes, you're still in a hurry, you should have just finished running now, I heard that there was a drill today." The classmate collapsed on the table and tucked his face into his arm.

"Chen Yue, let's go." Jiang Yang said and ran to the playground immediately with Chen Yue.

After they left, the student who was lying on the table slowly raised his head and woke up. Now, he is the only student in the classroom. I saw him stand up, walk to the window, look downstairs, and look at the intersection leading to the playground, until he saw Jiang Yang and Chen Yue disappear from that intersection with his own eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

The student walked down the hallway like a cat, closed the door, checked it, and walked around the classroom like a cat. He walked over to a desk and crouched down, groping his hands in the desk. What was he doing? He himself gave himself an answer, a bad one.

When he returned to his seat, he put what he had received in his hand, which he called "today's receipt," into the innermost pocket of his bag. Then he thought, "I can't stay here." He immediately opened the classroom door and walked out.

In physical education class, a neat team danced with the teacher's gestures and whistles.

After the free activity, Gu Lingzheng chatted with a few friends. Jiang Yang wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her, but he never had the opportunity. On the way back to class, Gu Ling still chatted back and forth with his classmates, and he silently followed behind and looked at her back.

Before the English class, the students were sitting in the classroom, but Chen Yue found Gu Ling, "Gu Ling, what time are you leaving today?" When he and her were both sitting at their desks, Chen Yue asked Gu Ling.

"It's long gone, who knows what time it is." Gu Ling replied casually while writing.

"Well, then it's no wonder I didn't see you when I went to your house with Jiang Yang."

"Who told you to wait for me, really." Gu Ling put down his pen and looked at Chen Yue.

"This...."Chen Yue also looked at her, and said with some embarrassment, "You don't want him to wait for you?" ”

"Hmph, he's better to wait for someone else."

Sure enough, Chen Yue realized quickly. He finally figured out what the reason was that they couldn't wait for her, he wasn't sure if Gu Ling had taken a detour, but her original intention was not to see him.

"You fell out?" Chen Yue asked again puzzled.

There was no answer.

Chen Yue moved the stool and whispered in her ear, "Jiang Yang was careless and forgot to go home with you that time, and now that he has changed, what are you still worried about?" ”

Hold the pen and put it down again. Gu Ling cast a confused look, she was either surprised, or she didn't understand the meaning of Chen Yue's words.

"But I didn't see him admit his mistake." Gu Ling said.

"He's embarrassed, and last week, he personally felt remorse and told me that he was sorry for you."

Listening to the words of her tablemate, she felt a little happy in her heart: she understood that he actually cared about her.
