thirty-four

The scorching summer is coming. One Wednesday morning, Jiang Yang was so hot that he couldn't sleep, so he got up early. When I was ready to go out, I sat in the living room and drank tea leisurely. After a while, a long-lost shout suddenly sounded outside the door. "It can't be wrong, it's him." Jiang Yang thought as he ran to the courtyard to greet Chen Yue. "Morning." "You're also early, discharged from the hospital?

He looked at Chen Yue, who was standing under the blue sky, wearing newly bought clothes. The top is a long-sleeved gown without the iconic pattern, and blue jeans underneath. The gloomy face, the sad expression, the pale and gloomy face in the hospital were all gone; It became springy, and his voice was bright and refreshing, with a wonderfully pleasant accent in his tone. From this point of view, it is really a happy thing to be discharged from the hospital.

"How's it going, healed?"

"Yes, healed, I did a CT before I was discharged from the hospital, and there are no problems."

"Like a normal person."

"Well," Chen Yue said happily, "like a normal person." ”

Xiao Ai walked from behind his brother, "Great"

"Thank you, thank you."

"Don't thank you naked, don't forget what the doctor said," Xiao Ai was only wearing a short coat on her upper body and cotton pajamas on her lower body, although she didn't feel the cold, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable standing here dressed like this. She heard Chen Yue's shout and hurriedly ran out to take a look. "The doctor said that it would be re-examined after a while. Don't forget. She said. After Chen Yue answered, she quickly entered the house.

"Well, I'll take you to school today." Jiang Yang said happily, and then pushed the bicycle out.

"But I remember, you have to send Gu Ling every day, right?"

"It's fine."

"Oh, I can't afford it." Chen Yue shook her hand and said.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang smiled and said, "You are discharged from the hospital today, special circumstances, it doesn't matter, next time I tell Gu Ling about this, Gu Ling won't blame me." Come on. ”

"That's right. Then you wait. Chen Yue ran into the house. When he came out, he had a leather coat on his body.

"Isn't it hot?"

"When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told me that it doesn't matter if it's hot, but don't catch a cold."

On the way to school, Jiang Yang also asked him about pathology, and then the two talked about the campus, the classroom, and all kinds of trivial things that happened in the classroom these days.

"Huh? If Gu Ling has been waiting for you, what should I do? When passing through the fourth middle school, Chen Yue thought of it.

"It's okay, I told her that if I didn't come at a quarter past seven, it would mean that I couldn't come due to special circumstances, so I didn't have to wait."

"You're so thoughtful."

Today, after the first English class, Jiang Yang walked into the office.

"Hello head teacher, I have something I want to ask for." He stood at the end of his desk and said.

"What's the matter?"

"I hope the head teacher can move Chen Yue to the front row to sit."

"Why?"

"Because," he thought for a moment, "I think it's necessary." ”

The head teacher smiled slightly and asked kindly, "How many rows do you want him to sit in?" ”

"Either way. Did the head teacher agree? ”

"Of course you can sit forward with Chen Yue's grades, I didn't expect you to ask me for such a thing, Chen Yue asked you to come?"

"It's not."

The head teacher smiled again, "You care about your classmates very much." He was silent. Waiting for a reply.

"Well, I'll consider having him sit forward. So, what about you? ”

"Me?"

"You don't want to sit in the front?"

"Can I do too?"

"Jiang Yang, what the teacher means - you have to build up your confidence and improve your grades, and the teacher will naturally put you in the front row."

"Thank you, teacher, I will try my best. When will I help Chen Yue adjust her seat? ”

"I'll arrange the next class meeting."

"Thank you." Jiang Yang thanked him again and said goodbye to the head teacher.

Does this work? Whether it is useful or not is not for him to say, the answer can only be revealed through follow-up observations. Obviously, the fundamental problem remains, but at least he has done his part for Chen Yue. He thought that if he sat in the front row, if the group of troublemakers wanted to disturb Chen Yue's study again, they would have to go through a long aisle, through the eyes of the female class leader, the female study committee, and the female students, and at that time, they would have to be mentally prepared: everything they did would be carried out under the noses of the people around them, and it would be relatively easy for the girls with good hearts to be seen, and it would be relatively easy for the teachers who sometimes passed by the classroom. Although this may have been nothing more than a self-soothing in his imagination, it was on the basis of this inference that he made his decision. In such a class, they are not suitable to be tablemates.

According to the agreement, the head teacher instructed Chen Yue to sit in the third row in the class meeting. Coincidentally, sitting behind Zhang Pingping's seat, Chen Yue put her schoolbag into the desk, Zhang Pingping looked back at him, and he smiled at her.

Chen Yue herself also felt very lucky, and arranged to sit here, not only could he pay more attention to the lectures in class, but also after class, after the cultural class, no one would trouble him anymore. He noticed a phenomenon that whenever he was in class, Zhang Pingping always looked back at his textbook from time to time, and she always asked him to discuss problems during classwork. He came to a conclusion that the girl in the front row had changed her past and moved in the direction of a good student.

It wasn't until two days later that everything changed. In math class, Chen Yue suddenly felt sick to his stomach, because he was still in class, he endured it. When I asked Zhang Pingping for the second time, I borrowed some paper from her by the way. After class, as soon as the teacher left, he also ran out. He finished comfortably going to the bathroom, pushed open the door, stepped out of the back door with one foot, and found someone standing in front of the door waiting for him. As soon as he came out, the man asked, "Yo, I haven't been to school for so many days, where have I gone?" ”

"Sick and take a leave of absence."

Xiao Yu Lei grinned and said, "Nonsense! Do you know how many days you haven't been to school? ”

"Really sick, hospitalized in the hospital, two months."

"Wow, hospitalized!" Xiao Yu Lei had a smile on his face, "What disease?" Still have to be hospitalized? ”

"Very, very serious illness that had to be hospitalized to be cured." Chen Yue replied calmly, he really hoped that the person in front of him would not continue to ask questions and ask him about his specific condition. He waited for Xiao Yu Lei to ask: What is a very serious illness?

As a result, he miscalculated, Xiao Yu Lei suddenly laughed, and then continued, "You won't pretend to say that you are sick because you deliberately want to avoid me, right?" I think you're quite likely, right? I told the teacher that I was sick, but I stayed at home happily. ”

"It's not."

"Hey, I think so!"

There was silence. Xiao Yu Lei grabbed his arm and led him behind the wall of the bathroom, avoiding the view outside the door.

"I heard you're still with her?" Xiao Yu Lei's tone obviously became serious, "Haven't learned to be obedient yet?" ”

"And her?"

"Don't pretend to be confused! It seems that the lesson of the last time was not enough, isn't it- huh? ”

Chen Yue suddenly woke up and was talking about Xiao Ai. "Who did you listen to?" He asked softly in surprise.

"Never mind who I listened to, I'm asking you if you went to her again."

"No," Chen Yue replied immediately, "noβ€”absolutely not!" ”

"Do you have any money?"

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Not really."

Xiao Yu Lei turned his head to look back, and then twisted back, "Do you dare to let me search?" If you don't find it, I'll believe you don't. ”

"Search it." He confidently straightened his arms and let the two hands in front of him fumble in the four pockets of his jacket and trousers.

"What is this?" Xiao Yu Lei took out a white bottle from his jacket pocket and shook it.

"Medicine." He hurriedly took back the medicine bottle from Xiao Yu Lei's hand and said, "It's the medicine I want to take." ”

He stretched out his arms again, and Xiao Yu Lei continued to put his hand into his pocket. "Bastard! Not really. Xiao Yu Lei came out empty-handed and didn't get a penny.

"I said no."

"Bastard! Who told you not to bring it? Xiao Yu Lei asked sternly and angrily, "This time I will spare you and bring five yuan in the afternoon." ”

"What?"

"Bring five dollars in the afternoon."

"Huh?"

"I said bring me five dollars in the afternoon, ahhh

He was hit on the head. Xiao Yu Lei waited for his answer, and he nodded vaguely.

"Come, show me the medicine you have in your hand."

He panicked for a while, and did not get a license, but he did not resist the person in front of him to take the medicine bottle from his hand. He mustered up the courage to raise his head and saw Xiao Yu Lei holding the medicine bottle in front of him, turning his hand, stopping at the instructions behind the bottle, and carefully looking at the words on it.

"What? This product is used for anti-tuberculosis primary treatment and retreatment, including the treatment of tuberculous meningitis, what? It is used for conjugate therapy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Xiao Yu Lei's face was full of surprise, "Anti-tuberculosis treatment, what is anti-tuberculosis treatment?" He asked.

"I don't know."

Xiao Yu Lei removed the medicine bottle from his eyes and continued to ask, "What disease do you have?" ”

"Very seriously ill."

"I'm asking what the hospital calls this disease? What do doctors usually call this disease? ”

He lowered his face, reluctant to answer. After some time, he replied, "Contagion." ”

"What contagion?"

"Tuberculosis."

"Good guys!" Xiao Yu Lei quickly threw the medicine bottle over, "Good guy, why didn't you say it earlier." Come over in the afternoon and remember to give the money to Yuan Tang. With that, he strode away.

What could he do? In the afternoon, in the classroom, he avoided everyone's gaze and handed over the money to Yuan Tang. In the next ten days, often on the way to school, several people came from in front of him to stop him. Until now, the economy he can take out has reached the limit. He had to borrow money from his table mates around him, and borrowing money from his classmates, which was the only feasible way. Later, however, he had difficulty borrowing money. News of his contagious disease suddenly spread throughout the class. Sitting at the same table far away from him, he wanted to talk to someone, but no one wanted to talk to him, and even received impatient ridicule from others, saying not to stay with him. "He's not the same kind of person as we are." He heard someone behind him whispering like this, followed by a vague whisper of men and women mixed together: uh-uh-hmm. ”

The semester ended quickly. Today, it's the day of the final exams. While taking the math test, the substitute teacher sat on the podium, looking up at the people under the platform for a while, and continued to be busy with his own course transcripts for a while, and the head teacher also came to the classroom, strolling back and forth in the front and back corridors. The two teachers were invigilating at the same time, and there was obviously no intention of letting the students cheat. In less than 20 minutes, Jiang Yang finished writing all the questions that could be written on the test paper and fell asleep on the table. He was woken up by the sound for the second time, opened his eyes, stood up with his hands propped up, and handed in the paper early. When he left the classroom, he exchanged glances with Chen Yue.

He paced carefree outside the hallway, reached the top of the stairs, and saw a group of friends he knew sitting on the steps upstairs. Some of the crowd saw him. "You're finally out." Xiao Yu Lei jumped down the steps in two strides, ran and said, grinning and saying, "Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I'm really curious why you haven't come out yet, think you're not the kind of person who worries because you can't write the exam?" He laughed as he spoke.

"Don't have fun with me, let's be with each other." Jiang Yang laughed casually.

"Oh! You're not as good as me, and I handed in a blank slate. ”

Xiao Yu Lei handed over the white papers, and he didn't think it was strange at all.

"You said you were waiting for me, is there something wrong? Let me guess - because of my sister. ”

"No, no, I'm dead set on her, she's so ignorant."

"Ignorance? My sister? ”

"Yes, ignorant and stubborn, she is hopeless. It's nothing I'm looking for you, would you like to come out and play together during the summer vacation? ”

"Sorry, but there's a plan for the summer vacation."

"What's the plan?"

"Summer job."

"Summer job?" Xiao Yu Lei narrowed one eye and looked at him suspiciously with his head slanted, "On a hot day, work for others." It's not like your style. ”

"It's not my style. But this time is different, I have made up my mind to go out and exercise myself, and I can still make a little money. He said as he raised his hand and pinched it with his thumb and forefinger together.

"Exercise, make some money, yes, yes, that's a good idea. I'm in favor. ”

"Thank you."

"Well, there should be a break after work."

"I think there will be, but I can't go one day a month without a holiday."

"Okay, I'll come and play when the time comes."

"But where will I find you?"

"Old place."

"Blue Moon?"

"Yes."

After speaking, Xiao Yu Lei turned around and beckoned to his friends. When leaving, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yang, "Let's go?" ”

"I'll wait for someone, you go first."

"Chen Yue?"

"Yes."

Three days later, Jiang Yang found his first job in a fish restaurant through a recommendation from the city's human resources market. The job is very simple, clean the building, wipe down the tables and chairs, and serve food when there are guests. Sometimes there are too many customers, and the butler standing at the service desk will call at him, making him more nimble, and in the face of such urging and dissatisfaction, he always accepts it silently.

One evening, he was busy with work and on his way home, he suddenly met Chen Yue. They learned that both were working summer jobs. "Right here?" Jiang Yang asked, pointing to the two blue painted doors on the side of the road.

"Hmm."

"It's so close to home, you really have the ability, how did you find it?"

"I didn't find it myself, my mother introduced me to me, saying that they just happened to lack an apprentice."

"What?"

"I think I'm a carpenter, but I'm actually spending most of my time sanding paper and lifting boards."

"How much is a month?"

"Didn't ask."

"Did you just do this without asking?"

Chen Yue nodded.

After two weeks of work, Jiang Yang understood that it was not easy to have a day off in a restaurant where people came and went. Even though it was not easy to come by, he still rode his bicycle to the agreed place during the holiday to meet up with his friends. He had just walked into the crowded Internet cafΓ©, and a person put his shoulder from behind him, it was Cheng Peng, and he looked very happy to see him coming. The two immediately chatted passionately. "Boss, our good friend is here." Xiao Yu Lei sat in front of the computer, and Cheng Peng greeted him like this. "Oh! How did you come? Hurry up, sit down, play together, and look at my current level, you can't surpass anything. Xiao Yu Lei said. Just kidding, how can I surpass you. Jiang Yang immediately replied. He had 2 hours of time online, but the time was very insufficient, and after playing for a while, a string of reminders popped up on the screen that the balance was insufficient. "Network management, machine 40 plus 1 hour." Xiao Yu Lei yelled back loudly. He spent a long time in the Internet cafΓ©, and for a long time, the computer in front of him was turned off, leaning back in his chair to watch the people next to him play, and discussing game topics with them from time to time. It was almost lunchtime before he said goodbye to them. The moment he opened the door and walked out into the street, he felt dizzy, dazzled, and stunned. This, he thought, was probably the disadvantage caused by the long time spent online. But he still knows what he was wrong.
