Early on Saturday morning, Chen Xu took the morning bus back to Beicheng, and after getting on the bus, there was a person on the seat across the aisle who kept looking at Chen Xu. Because her vision was too straightforward, Chen Xu finally found out under her long-term gaze. Chen Xu turned his head and saw that this person was Wang Xiuxia, her homeroom teacher in junior high school. Chen Xu nodded at her and said hello, "Teacher Wang." When Wang Xiuxia saw Chen Xu greeting her, she hurriedly said: "Oh, it's really you, I looked like you as soon as you got in the car just now." Chen Xu nodded and smiled, and didn't say anything more. But Wang Xiuxia was unexpectedly enthusiastic, she and the person next to Chen Xu changed positions, sat next to Chen Xu and said the host and west. Chen Xu's faint response was not enthusiastic.

Speaking of Wang Xiuxia, Chen Xu has no gratitude. Wang Xiuxia knew Chen Xu's situation, not only did she not take care of Chen Xu, but what was even worse was that Chen Xu had been used and squeezed by Wang Xiuxia throughout the junior high school stage. Chen Xu cherishes the opportunity to learn, works hard, and has always been the first in his grade. Wang Xiuxia has always asked Chen Xu to volunteer to help in her cram school, saying that it is difficult to do chores. Day students will go directly to cram school after school, and Wang Xiuxia knows that Chen Xu can cook, so she asks Chen Xu to be responsible for cooking in order to overcharge. Sometimes the food is delicious, everyone has finished eating, Chen Xu can only be hungry, obviously Chen Xu can eat in the school cafeteria, but Wang Xiuxia has to let Chen Xu go directly after school. There are few teachers in cram schools, and there are students with poor grades who need individual tutoring, so Wang Xiuxia asked Chen Xu to be responsible for one-on-one lectures. In the past three years, Wang Qiuxia has not given Chen Xu a piece of money, but every time the cram school is over, she will directly lock the cram school classroom, causing Chen Xu to have nowhere to go. With Lin Pei's teacher Zhuyu in front, Chen Xu felt that people like Wang Xiuxia were teachers in vain, and it seemed that people's conduct had nothing to do with their careers. At that time, although I was very dissatisfied, I didn't dare to express it. Now that she sees Wang Xiuxia again, those past events come to her mind again, and it is difficult for her to have much respect for such a teacher.

Wang Xiuxia pretended to be familiar, "Chen Xu, you are the most promising student I have ever taught." At that time, you were the first in the county when you took the high school entrance examination, and you were admitted to a key university during the college entrance examination. Chen Xu said lightly that it was not worth mentioning. Wang Xiuxia didn't seem to see that Chen Xu didn't want to talk in depth, and then asked, "You graduated now, right?" What do you do? Chen Xu didn't want to talk to her too much, so he just said lightly, "Be a clerk." Because she didn't say it in detail, Wang Xiuxia thought that Chen Xu was working in the company, and her heart swelled up with a little contempt: in the end, it was a child of a poor family! What about college?

When she was about to arrive in Beicheng, Wang Xiuxia suddenly said: "By the way, Chen Xu, next week our cram school teacher Liu's child gets married, he can't come to class, can you help me go to class for two days?" Chen Xu turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiuxia and smiled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I don't have time." Wang Xiuxia was a little embarrassed and asked, "Do you have no weekends on Saturdays and Sundays?" Chen Xu said: "Normally, it's resting, but I want to see my grandmother, I can't help you, I'm sorry." Wang Xiuxia didn't stop there, and after getting out of the car, she chased after Chen Xu and said, "Alas, that, Chen Xu, it's just two days." I won't let you help in vain, I'll give you 200 yuan. Chen Xu looked back at her, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Teacher Wang, you are so generous!" How many vacations did I take you in junior high school? After the high school entrance examination, you still didn't let me go, did you give me a penny? Even if you give me 50 yuan for a holiday, I am grateful. Now I don't need to! Is 100 a day yes? You can go to someone else! Ten years ago, you hired a teacher for 100 yuan per class, right? ”

Wang Xiuxia didn't expect Chen Xu to dare to turn her face and say this, her face was red and white for a while, and she said, "You kid has no conscience when he says this, right?" Chen Xu looked at Wang Xiuxia sarcastically and said: "I don't know if I have a conscience, but I know that my heart is red!" Teacher, what color is your heart? It can't be black, right? Actually, I don't want to say such ugly things, but I find you to be quite shameless. Who gave you this confidence? Think you can still pinch me today? Wang Xiuxia was so angry that her chest fell together, and she was speechless for a long time. Chen Xu suddenly felt as happy as drinking ice water on a June day. She finally let out a sigh of relief and rushed home happily.

When I returned home, I found that there were a lot of people standing at the mouth of the alley, some of whom had not lived here for a long time, and now they have all returned. It turns out that this place is really going to be demolished! It is said that the relevant departments will come to measure the house tomorrow, and everyone is talking. There are several well-informed people who reveal various insider tips to everyone. Grandma Chen, Grandma Liu and Daniel Zhang were also there. Grandma Chen and Grandma Liu are old and know little about what others say, Daniel Zhang just listened silently, Chen Xu listened for a while and then said to grandma, "Milk, let's go back!" ”

When he returned home, Chen Xu read the "Letter of Intent to Demolish and Relocate", and carefully looked at the housing accounting price and compensation and resettlement methods. Chen Xu looked at the worried grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't be afraid, I'll go to rent a house in a while, and we don't have anything valuable at home." Just a few pieces of clothes, luggage and pots and pans, it is not difficult to move. With that, Chen Xu prepared to go out to find a house. At this time, Daniel Zhang and Grandma Liu also came over and asked Chen Xu why he went? Chen Xu said to look for a house, and Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Xiao Xu, my eldest son has moved to Longcheng, and his house is empty." He asked me to move to his house. Let your grandmother go live with me, we have a companion, and you can save some rent. ”

Chen Xu was a little hesitant, "It's inconvenient, isn't it?" Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "What's inconvenient, my son's house is big, more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms." I want to live closer to your grandmother so that we can take care of each other when the time comes. Without waiting for Chen Xu to nod, grandma said, "Then we can't live in vain, I'll pay some rent every month!" Grandma Liu said: "If you feel embarrassed to live in vain, give 100 yuan a month, and the two of us will pay a utility bill." Chen Xu thought about it and agreed. Grandma and Grandma Liu live together, and they can indeed take care of each other, and Chen Xu can rest assured, just go and see it every week. At this time, Daniel Zhang was a little hesitant next to him, renting a house is very expensive, thousands of yuan a year, Daniel Zhang means renting a bungalow, he said that he has been working as a caregiver in the past two months, but only two or three thousand yuan on hand, which is really not enough to rent a house.

Grandma Liu said beside her: "Or, you can also go to live with my son, it is also a hundred per month, do you think it's okay?" There are exactly three bedrooms, and you don't be at home at night anyway, so you come back to sleep during the day. Daniel Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's not convenient, right?" What should I do when Xiao Xu comes back? Where to stay? Chen Xu said: "I was not worried about my milk, so I squeezed time back every week." If Grandma wants to live with you, I'll come back every week and stay there. Grandma Chen was shy and did not advocate renting an apartment independently, so she decided to live with Grandma Liu.

Chen Xu went to the store to buy a few bags, and when he got home, he began to help his grandmother pack clothes. Grandma said: "Otherwise, don't worry, this house is said to be demolished and demolished, and there has been no movement for several years." Chen Xu smiled, "No matter what, be prepared." Save the time to be in a hurry. ”

Until the afternoon, the people outside still did not disperse, and everyone had different opinions: some felt that the compensation was unreasonable; Some of them wish they could be dismantled immediately; Others are waiting; Some people organized everyone to unanimously say that the demolition policy was unreasonable and that everyone should unite...... Chen Xu ignored these and just helped clean up his things. But unexpectedly, Chen Zhihua and Chen Zhigang, two sisters and brothers, came as if they had made an appointment.
