Chapter Seventy-Four: Before That
The sky was blue, with white clouds occasionally drifting slowly across the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The students ran happily on the way to school, the rain had passed, the road was still potholed with water, and the girls wore snow-white shoes and stepped into the sewage puddle without hesitation, but they still had happy smiles on their faces.
At this time, E Middle School was still a junior high school, and it was famous for all junior high schools in E City for its steak supply in the canteen every day, even if the grades were not the top in the city, but those children who had just graduated from elementary school begged their parents to come to this school, and good food always attracted lovely children, not to mention that it was not expensive.
Therefore, the canteen in the whole E middle school is very popular, and it may be the largest canteen in the city, in order to ensure that the supply of the school canteen is sufficient, the school specially dug a ventilated underground warehouse under the canteen. This can avoid the daily delivery of suppliers and can also reduce certain costs.
"Hello Teacher Chen~" The students who were buying breakfast in front of the window saw that their math teacher had also come to the cafeteria, and waved their greasy little hands to greet him. Teacher Chen also responded with a smile, except for one of the boys, who quietly lowered his head, his face was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen him passing.
"Li Runqi." Teacher Chen saw this boy, he looked so abrupt in the crowd, he noticed at a glance, "Yesterday's homework was a full score again, keep up the good work, the teacher believes that you will definitely be able to get into a good high school." ”
The boy glanced coldly at the teacher, "High school is already too simple, right?" ”
Teacher Chen was stunned, he didn't expect this boy to answer him like this, but it is true that this boy is indeed a genius who can be described as a rare genius in ten years, and the problem that almost all students have a headache in learning is like having seen it thousands of times for him, and it may be too narrow to describe it as easy to solve. However, he seems to be very unsociable, rarely communicates with the classmates around him, and has a very withdrawn personality, including when he talks to the teacher, he never uses honorifics, and he comes and goes when he calls, and no one is completely in his eyes.
"Okay, then it looks like you can go straight to college." Teacher Chen told a joke that caused the students around him to laugh, thus alleviating his embarrassment. After buying breakfast, he strode out of the cafeteria and walked towards the office.
On the way, he looked down at his watch and sighed, how many days can a sunny day last in such a rainy season?
The class led by Teacher Chen is not very good, because the class teacher of this class is a very young female teacher, and she usually can't see any characteristics, and she doesn't even have the affinity that ordinary young teachers should have, just like a person living in another world, the reason why she is the class teacher is because she is the wife of the current principal.
This was once a boiling thing in the school, because the age gap between the principal and the female teacher is too big, it is said that the female teacher admires the principal's educational philosophy very much, almost an idol-like existence, so he has been chasing the principal, of course, this is just a rumor, what the specific process is, everyone does not know.
After Mr. Chen entered the office, he looked at the class schedule, he had a total of four classes in the past two days, mathematics has always been the most important subject in the school, far more than other subjects, compared to the biology taught by the class teacher, his own class is much more important.
The door was pushed open at this time, it was the female teacher, Teacher Chen was drinking tea, and quickly spit out the tea leaves into the teacup, "Yo, Teacher Cai, you are here." ”
"Hmm." She just hummed faintly, and the expression on her face seemed to be very terrifying. The sadness that can be seen at a glance by a discerning person.
"How did this happen?" Teacher Chen noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and as soon as Teacher Cai entered the office, he sat down at his desk, as if he had experienced some major blow.
"Teacher Chen, if I were you, I wouldn't be sitting here now." Her voice was flat, but it seemed to have an irresistible majesty, "Do you know about viral hepatitis E? ”
"Huh?!" Mr. Chen was taken aback, he really didn't know what was viral, but he still knew very well that hepatitis was transmitted through saliva.
"Headmaster, him." Mr. Cai's voice was slightly low, and he sniffled, "I have liver cancer, which is transformed from this hepatitis." Found out in the hospital last night, the doctor said he was a few days away. ”
Teacher Chen felt that this was like a bolt from the blue! How so? It is true that the old principal's health has always been bad, but why did he have such a serious incurable disease? Looking at her expression, it is estimated that there is a good chance that the matter should be true, which is really difficult to accept.
"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, I want to stay alone for a while now, and I'll go to class by myself after a while, don't worry about me." She lowered her head and covered part of her face with her hair, probably to keep Teacher Chen from seeing her face.
"Okay." Teacher Chen silently mourned for this unfortunate family in his heart, and after stepping out of the office, he saw Teacher Cai's daughter downstairs, very young, still only in kindergarten, I wonder if she can feel the sadness of being about to lose her father?
But he didn't think long before he was shocked by the strange scene downstairs, this little girl was actually talking to Li Runqi! The boy, who almost never spoke, showed a cute smile at this time, and patiently squatted next to the girl to show her strange toys, which seemed to be made by himself, and this child was extremely hands-on.
The little girl quietly hugged the relaxed bear, completely attracted by the toy in his hand, as his fingers flew, the toy changed into a different shape, the little girl was surprised to wow. Li Runqi stood up, touched her head with a smile, and walked into the teaching building.
"It seems that this kid also has a good side." Teacher Chen sighed, no matter how indifferent people are, they have a gentle side that ordinary people don't know.
Although the weather is very good, this day Teacher Chen had a very difficult time, he almost didn't dare to go back to the office, he acted as a class teacher to go around the class, it is true that Teacher Cai did not show up much all day today, it may be really sad, after all, she is only so young, the blow of this kind of thing may be too much for her, beyond the scope of what she can bear.
Another thing worth noting is that Li Runqi didn't come in the afternoon, I don't know if he asked for leave with Teacher Cai. Teacher Chen thought to himself. The problem is that now he doesn't dare to run to ask about it, after all, he is not the head teacher, there is no need to meddle, and the student's grades are very good, this half day has nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
When it was finally time for school to end, Teacher Chen stretched and walked out of the classroom with the students and herself. Now I can always go back to the classroom, he looked at his watch, it was all at this point, she should have gone to pick up the child from school.
He walked back to the office, took out the key and prepared to open the door, thought about it and glanced downstairs to see if Li Runqi would still be playing with Teacher Cai's daughter.
But the downstairs was empty, but the relaxed bear that the girl was holding in the morning lay quietly on the ground, covered with the sewage in the puddles, like the white shoes of the schoolgirls stepping on the puddle and splashing on its body.
