The phantom moon shimmered in the sky.

"Lao Guan, your son really has to take care of it, it's only been half a semester, and his grades have dropped so fast. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to get into the high school in the town, let alone the first middle school and the third middle school. The old man in his fifties sat at his desk, looked at the middle-aged man standing restlessly in front of him, and said earnestly.

"It's the tube, it's the tube. I work in the south, and I can't take care of this child, because it's our parents' fault. Teacher Fang, don't worry, I'll take good care of him when I go back, and promise to raise my grades. ”

The middle-aged man was in his thirties and less than forty, but the old wrinkles on his face looked like he was in his fifties, and his hair was faintly gray. The gray cloth clothes worn by the long man were covered with a white vest with a slight yellow tinge. He stretched out his calloused hand, touched the boy next to him, who was already up to his shoulder, and smiled at the teacher.

Beside him, the boy who had reached his shoulder bowed his head and said nothing. His eyes were fixed on the ground, and his hands touched his head without responding.

"That's good, you work in the south and come back once or twice a year, and it's Saturday again, so you can go back too. Study hard, this child is smart and tight, as long as you put your mind on learning, you will soon be able to catch up. ”

After saying that, he stood up, and the middle-aged man in front of him quickly nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up the nylon pocket by the door, and followed quickly: "Okay, okay, let's go." He stuffed the nylon pocket into the old man's hand, "Teacher Fang, this is bacon made in my hometown, you can take it back and try it." ”

The old man's face was straight, he pushed his hand away and said, "Hey, Lao Guan, you will see the outside like this." ”

The middle-aged man didn't let go of his hand, and said quickly: "This is also made at home, and it's not worth much." Look at it, it's so far away to go back, it's not convenient for me to take it back, whether the taste is right or not, don't see it. He spoke almost incoherently, nodding and smiling.

The old man then took his pocket and said, "That's fine, I'll take it back and put it there for me, and you can get it yourself when it's convenient for you." ”

The middle-aged man in the vest nodded, the two said a few words, and the old man walked away with his pocket. Only then did he turn around, sighed, and said to the boy beside him, "Let's go, son, let's go back." ”

The mountains of western Hubei were already hot at the end of June, and the man carried a load of things, and the two walked through the shade of the trees along the way to their home. After walking two kilometers, the man's steps slowed down, and he smiled at the boy behind him: "Son, rest first, the sun is still early, don't get tired." ”

The boy nodded, and he took a few more steps, found a wider side of the road, laid his pole on the rock, and sat down. Then he unbuttoned his slightly sweaty gray cloth shirt, leaving only the white vest, wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, and rested.

A gust of mountain breeze blew, and the coolness and fresh breeze of the morning took away the exhaustion all over his body, and the man fumbled for a while, took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took out one, lit it, and smoked it.

The smoke suddenly surrounded him, and after taking two deep breaths, he sighed and looked at the boy: "Son, has you had anything to do lately?"

The boy bowed his head and said to the boy who was sitting on the stone next to him, "The town is not as good as our village, and the classmates here are much better than yours, and if you don't get good grades, you won't be able to raise your head in the class." ”

"I'm a big boss, I won't tell you any big truths, just tell you what I've seen. I work in the south, and the people there are educated, and they only use their mouths, and they earn a few or a dozen of my salaries by themselves, and some people secretly scold us for being barbarians and illiterates, all of which I have seen with my own eyes. ”

"So son, you don't understand it now, but if you don't work hard, you can only work like us in the future. ”

He took the cigarette into his mouth again, took a deep breath, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke. Then he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it hard, and looked at the boy next to him, who was still silent, and the anger came up instantly. But maybe he hadn't seen him for half a year, he actually suppressed his temper, sighed and said nothing, stood up, picked up the flat pole, and was about to walk forward.

And at this time, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and it seemed to rain in the sky. The man looked back, and the familiar silence and helplessness revealed a slight smile. The boy raised his head suddenly, his whole body suddenly trembled, he gasped fiercely, and shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom!"

The rain fell from the sky, and it seemed to fall on the boy's face, cold and biting. His voice seemed to be crying, rain and tears mixed together, and he cried lowly: "Dad, Mom, I just, I don't want to leave you......"

"Pass, Dapeng is empty, second master!"

"Oops, slow...... Don't pass it on, bring it yourself. There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.

A loud shout was heard, and on the concrete basketball court, a group of students in Rocket Team uniforms were shouting loudly. When I opened my eyes, it was a thin boy with the ball, but the speed was not slow, and in the blink of an eye, he went out of the three-point line and rushed inside.

The opponent defending in front of him bends his legs down and bends slightly in waiting. The boy suddenly accelerated and changed direction, but the opponent was not slow, and followed, and the boy slowed down again, staggering a small space with the opponent in front of him. As soon as the opportunity came, the boy's feet moved, and the ball behind him pierced through with a shot. But at this time, a tall figure on the opposite side suddenly stood on the edge of the free throw line and gambled on the way to break through. The boy was too fast, and he was about to be blocked.

Between breaths, in the corner of the boy's eye, a familiar shadow rushed from the bottom. He didn't have time to think about it, but by feeling, he passed the ball through the left side of the tall man in front of him and threw it hard. The shadow expertly reached out and caught the ball.

"Bang!"

"Guan Mingyu, are you special, can you see the point and pass it on?" The boy covered his nose and squatted down, drops of blood fell from between his fingers, and everyone quickly surrounded him.

The boy looked anxious: "How is it, Andy?"

"How is it? Lao Tzu's nose is bleeding, what do you say? I can't die!" The boy covered his nose and asked angrily, "Who has the paper?"

In the middle of the three or four groups, one finally took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over. He nodded and said, "You guys fight first, I'll go wash it." With that, he turned and walked out of the court.

He walked to the sidelines, but a voice came from the side and asked, "Second master, are you evil today?" ”

Guan Mingyu raised his head, and the figure in front of him suddenly blurred, and faded for a while. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the fading figure, but where he entered, only a slight fluctuating light remained.

After a moment of youth that we don't have time to grasp, we are left with only loneliness. ”

"Hey, how did you do on the exam?" On the edge of the playground, a thin figure stood under a tree, and behind him, a girl with a single ponytail, wearing a dark blue skirt, her face was slightly blushing, and her voice came softly and low.

"I'm going to play average. He turned to look at the little fat girl and asked, "What about you?"

The girl smiled slightly, stepped forward, stood almost on the same line as him, and chuckled, "I feel pretty good." Where are you going to take the test?"

"I don't know, my grades are more than enough, and it looks like I can only go to an ordinary undergraduate. As for where to get in, I don't know where to get in, so I still have to fill in according to the score. Beside the girl, the boy didn't know what to think, so he paused slightly before he said slowly.

"Also, my parents said that I should not go too far and stay in the province, they have always wanted me to be a teacher, and I should be able to fill in the Huake when the time comes. The girl turned her head and glanced at him, and he just turned his head, and their eyes were slightly burning when they touched each other.

"Oh, Huake is very good, I guess it's a little hanging, I don't know if it's enough for the score. He laughs.

She was slightly silent, and after a long time, she reluctantly smiled again: "You have to have dinner in the evening, have you packed your things?"

"I cleaned it up, I finished it after the exam yesterday, and I didn't have many things, and I slept on the broken quilt for three years, and my mother asked me to throw it away. Well, the other day, everyone tore up half of it, and I sold the rest. There were only a few small things, and a suitcase was full, which was very relaxing. He laughs.

"Okay, then let's go together, we have to go to the city that never sleeps, it's good to go early, I guess other people are almost fast, I slept all night after the exam yesterday, and I saw a few night owls coming out of the Internet café this morning. The girl waved her arm into the sky and shouted, "High school, goodbye!"

The sound came out crisply far away, and everyone on the playground turned their heads and smiled when they saw this indulgence that belonged only to the college entrance examination. She blushed and called, "Let's go." Then he ran towards the school gate.

The graduation dinner was held at the Huang Ji Restaurant in the city that never sleeps, and Guan Mingyu studied for three years, and it was the first time for Guan Mingyu to come here. He was from the countryside, unlike the students in the county, and after two hours, several teachers left the private room, leaving only a new physics teacher.

He was not very old, and said to everyone: "I have just graduated for three or four years, and I have been with you for three years, and I am also very honored to send you away." ”

He raised his glass: "Today we are not teachers and students, but friends, let's play a game." Then he looked at everyone: "I'll be the referee, Truth or Dare!"

Among high school students, the most awaited, with the most indulgent game. Seven or eight students won the lottery, and all that was left was "Is there anyone you like?"

When it was her turn, everyone's eyes were on her, she stood up, reached out and grabbed the glass of red wine, and drank it all with a trembling face. Then she looked at Guan Mingyu, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Guan Mingyu, I like you!"
