Volume 1 The Quarter Moon Chapter 8 The Building is Empty
Su Xian didn't say he liked it, nor did he say he didn't like it, so he buried his head in reading a book.
There was an extra pen in the book, and there was an extra voice, softly: "Send you." ”
Su Xian wanted to say that it was useless, but the other party had already prepared the next line: "You gave me such a precious egg, of course I should give you something, otherwise my mother will say me if she finds out, I was still thinking about what to give you on the way just now, and this problem has finally been solved." ”
Su Xian didn't dare to take it, thinking that this pen must be worth much more than an egg.
Zuo Yueyao stuffed the pen into her hand: "Take it, it's not a valuable thing, I have a lot of it at home." ”
Saying this, Su Xian accepted it with confidence, feeling that it was still a bit advantageous, so he said: "When you leave, I will pick a basket of dates for you and take it back to eat." ”
"Okay." Zuo Yueyao agreed very briskly.
The two of them read books and do homework like this, without disturbing each other.
Zuo Yueyao found that this girl was quite serious when she was serious about her work, her eyes were intent, her brows were tightly locked, and she was only in her own world, as if all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
After solving one question after another, Su Xian felt that his brain and eyes were a little tired, so he stopped, propped his head and looked at the person opposite, and saw that he was reading a book seriously, and he was embarrassed to disturb, so he propped his head and looked out of the window.
The windows of the village committee are not very good, the glass has several cracks and has not been replaced, only glued with tape, Su Xian looked at the broken glass, like his heart at some point.
"You and your dad have always been like this?"
Zuo Yueyao, who took the initiative to speak, pulled Su Xian's thoughts back.
"It was fine before, but after my mom died, it was like this." Facing Zuo Yueyao, Su Xian suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore.
"Why?"
Su Xian touched the black pen, and it felt so good: "Maybe he thinks I'm a nemesis, right?" ”
Zuo Yueyao was stunned for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, where did you come from." ”
"Maybe some people believe that." Su Xian shrugged indifferently, as if telling someone else's story: "When I was ten years old, one night, I suddenly coughed and had a high fever, my mother was so anxious that she went out to ask the village doctor in the middle of the night, but she fell into the ditch, and the back of her head hit a stone in the ditch. ”
Su Xian sniffed and slowly exhaled the tightness in his heart: "My dad was a bit patriarchal, but he was still very distressed about my mother, after this incident, he blamed all the blame on me, and then he became fond of smoking and drinking, and when he was drunk, he said some ugly things to me, at first I would be afraid, but later, I was not afraid of anything." ”
"When he was twelve years old, because of excessive drinking, he suffered from a heart attack, and since then he can't do heavy work, and his temper has become more eccentric, since the beating of my mother, the relationship between the two of us has been incompatible, and then the body became like that, and I think I am a nemesis, that is, I came to this house to collect debts, and after collecting my mother's debts, maybe it will be his turn one day."
These ordinary numbers and dates are connected into stories and accidents, Zuo Yueyao watched Su Xian's translucent eyes gradually turn red, thinking that her tears were about to burst out of her eyes, but she didn't shed a single tear, so she endured it.
At this moment, this girl's strength makes it impossible to be indifferent, he doesn't know how to comfort this girl, who should be enjoying the age of her parents' pampering, but she has to endure the pain that outsiders can't see.
Zuo Yueyao wanted to go up and hug this girl, even if it was like an older brother, but he restrained it.
"Do you know NTU?"
The previous topic came to an abrupt halt and turned to another place.
"Yes." Su Xian replied quickly.
"Your academic performance is so good, you can be admitted to Nanjing University in the future, that school is on the edge of the Yangtze River, you can sit by the river and look at the stars in the sky when you have nothing to do at night, it is exceptionally bright."
Su Xian blinked, and listened to him again: "Really." ”
This is Su Xian's goal, but she is not sure if she can be admitted in the end, so she can only keep trying.
Su Xian put the math problem he had done in front of Zuo Yueyao: "You can help me check it." ”
Zuo Yueyao only looked at it for a while and said, "Actually, many of the questions are the same, but we are tested in a different way, and the ideas for solving the questions are almost the same, if you believe me, I can give you a key point in the next few days, and then tell you some ways to solve the problems." ”
"There are other things to memorize, there are also ways and means, rote memorization is okay, it will always be a little tiring, I can teach you some easier ways."
What Zuo Yueyao said is also Su Xian's disadvantages, many times she does rely on rote memorization to complete her studies, so she always has to spend more time than others.
Now a free teacher has suddenly been parachuted, and she is certainly happy to see it.
Su Xian finally understood what it meant to have a sky outside the sky and someone outside the world.
Under the guidance of Zuo Yueyao, I also know what real excellence is, and this excellence is innate and incomparable.
With the guidance of the masters, Su Xian received the help of Daigo's empowerment, and in the next few days, she took the initiative to run to the village committee as long as she got up, and before running, she would carry a few dates in her pocket and keep them for Zuo Yueyao to eat.
It was the only thank you she could get.
Because Zuo Yueyao said that dates are delicious, he likes to eat them.
The two of them stayed all day, talking about learning, Su Xian was quite satisfied with this free teacher, and Zhou Ling was also quite optimistic about Su Xian's seriousness and persistence.
Looking at Su Xian's clean eyes, Zhou Ling touched her somewhat cold cheeks very fondly, and asked with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, be my goddaughter." ”
Su Xian opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer, but Zuo Yueyao answered for her: "I don't want such a sister, I will be annoyed to death by her." ”
Su Xian didn't speak, ashamed.
These past few days have really annoyed Zuo Yueyao to death.
Zhou Ling patted Zuo Yueyao on the shoulder, scolded "stinky boy" and didn't mention it again.
On this day, Su Xian came to Zuo Yueyao on time again, thinking that he would sit in the office and wait for her as usual, but the office was empty.
It happened that Uncle Zhao passed by the window, carrying a hot water bottle in his hand, and Su Xian hurriedly trotted over.
"Uncle Zhao, where is Zuo Yueyao?"
"Lying in the house, I should have a cold, no, I'm going to send a bottle of hot water."
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that Zuo Yueyao left without saying hello.
Su Xian snatched Uncle Zhao's hot water bottle, otherwise he really couldn't find an excuse to go to someone else's residence, knocked on the door, and the voice from inside was a little hoarse.
Su Xian pushed the door open, and Zuo Yueyao was sitting on the bed and putting on shoes.
"Uncle Zhao said you were sick." Su Xian put the hot water bottle on the table and poured him a cup of hot water by the way.
"It's okay, it's just a little cold and a little headache, it'll be fine in a while, my mother is making a big fuss, I have to let Uncle Zhao take care of me."
Su Xian touched his forehead: "No fever." ”
"Well, I didn't have a fever, I just overslept, you waited a long time, right?"
"No, I'm new here."
"Then let's study."
"I'm not going to study today." Su Xian felt a little guilty: "Am I dragging you down in the past two days?" ”
"What stupid words to say, on the surface I am helping you, but in fact, I have reviewed it myself, the best of both worlds, where is there any drag."
He's really comforting...... Does he still have to review the knowledge of the second year of high school......
"The holiday is almost over, we will go back tomorrow afternoon, and we have to hurry up today."
Su Xian's mood just happened to fall again.
"You...... Going? ”
"Hmm." Zuo Yueyao took the glass of water poured by Su Xian, put it to his mouth and blew: "The third year of high school is tight, and I originally had to make up classes during the holidays, but my mother greeted the teacher in advance, so I could come out and be lazy." ”
Su Xianxin said: It's not your mother who greets the teacher, it's the teacher who thinks you don't need to make up classes at all.
Su Xian was even more sad, because such a separation was impossible to keep.
So on this day, Su Xian was absent-minded when he was listening to the class, and he wanted to pack up his textbooks and go home to lie down several times, but seeing that Zuo Yueyao was still as serious as ever, he was embarrassed to be hypocritical.
Su Xian thought about it, and he would get up early tomorrow to pick dates from the tree, and send him a basket of picks, and then say thank you.
But when Su Xian got up early in the morning to pick dates and ran to the village committee, the building was empty.
"Girl, you're late, they're gone, just half an hour ago, someone came and picked them up."
Later, Uncle Zhao said something again, but Su Xian didn't hear it clearly, but felt that someone had hollowed out a piece of his heart and it was empty.
What about leaving at night......
I said that I would send a basket of dates......
And I want to thank them......
She wondered if she could leave a contact address so she could write to him or something......
Su Xian was sad, Uncle Zhao suddenly thought of something, and shouted at her through the tape-covered glass window in the office: "By the way, Xiao Zuo asked me to bring you a message, he said that he would not say goodbye to you if he was in a hurry, and said that he would wait for you at Nanda." ”
"Oh yes, he also said that if you are admitted to NTU, he will invite you to dinner or something, anyway, it is to let you study hard and strive to be admitted to NTU in the future."
Su Xian put the basket full of dates at the door of the office, turned around and left.
I was so depressed along the way, I felt that the time of the past few days was gone.
The person named Zuo Yueyao appeared, but it didn't seem to have appeared, and he threw a small pebble into the backwater of her life and disappeared after making a splash.
So for a few days, Su Xian blamed Zuo Yueyao for being ruthless, and didn't even say thank you to her.
But then it's not strange, because in the few days we got along, Zuo Yueyao taught her a lot of things, I thought that such an excellent person must be high and disdainful of being in the company of people like her, but everything was better than she imagined.
She was happy and hopeful in those days.
For this reason, Su Xian worked harder than ever.
It's just for the NTU that I miss in my heart.
