Many years later, Xiao Yao would recall a private appointment between him and Yu Luying on the afternoon of August 2, 2004 in a small storage room on the basement floor of the Sacred Heart Church, and the center of the conversation was Shen Jie's borrowing from St. Francis of Assi's secondary school.

Xiao Yao will clearly remember that Yu Luying wore the summer school uniform skirt of St. Francis of Assi's Middle School that day - not the sportswear she wore to swim in the water the other day, but a goose-yellow short-sleeved shirt with lace trim on the neckline and cuffs.

The lower body is a plaid skirt that just reaches the knee, revealing the white calves like lotus roots, and the feet are wearing hollowed-out white socks and light summer sneakers with air holes.

As a student at St. Francis' Secondary School, Xiao Yao also has an almost identical goose-yellow shirt, but without those lace trims, and the bottom is also paired with trousers. At the same time, the checkered skirt of this school uniform is a knee-high style, and when it comes to Yu Luying, it becomes a knee-jerk, either she finds someone to change it, or she chooses a larger size.

St. Francis of Assi's secondary school has about five sets of uniforms, two summer, two spring, autumn and one winter, and at the same time, the uniforms of grades 03, 02 and 01 are different, so in most cases, you can recognize at a glance which grade a student is in.

Of course, there are exceptions, if you see someone in a senior school uniform sitting in a class in the second year of high school, you will know that this is probably an international student, ah no, repeater.

If Shen Jie's borrowing is successful, in Xiao Yao's plan, she should be in the second year of high school. Thinking about it, the school will also distribute her new school uniforms for the 04 grade younger students, and sit in the classroom of the second year of high school, standing out from the crowd, like a skipping student.

Of course, we all know that, as a rule, no one can jump from freshman to sophomore year of high school.

The basement room is very shady, presumably because it can't take in direct sunlight.

The air was a bit damp and the air conditioner was humming softly, and overall, it was refreshing.

In the air was a mixture of the smell unique to the old church and the unique smell of the library, Xiao Yao loved to smell it. There are two or three rows of bookshelves in the center of the room, surrounded by some leather – uh, maybe a leatherette sofa.

On the east wall hangs the image of the cross, below is the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on the west wall hangs the portrait of the Virgin Teresa the Younger and St. Mary Gredy, and in the north is the picture of the former Pope Pius XI.

In general, except for the statue of the Sacred Heart, Xiao Yao didn't know anyone about the group of people hanging there, but somehow, he had a very calm and reassuring feeling.

As if she was afraid that so many great men would not be able to suppress Xiao Yao, Yu Luying still kept the door open - however, no one would come to this floor anyway.

"How can I help? Let me ask Director Lin about it. Yu Luying said: "I will help not because I forgave her, but purely for the sake of her saving my life." ”

Nizi, still hard-mouthed, Xiao Yao thought happily.

As a good student at the top of her grade, Yu Luying naturally has a good relationship with the school leaders.

"Director Lin can't be the master of this, right? It doesn't hurt to ask. Xiao Yao said: "By the way, Director Lin is your mother's student, I forgot." ”

"You don't want my mom to get involved, do you?" Yu Luying looked at Xiao Yao with a somewhat strange expression and said.

"Uh, no, it's okay, it's brainless watts." Xiao Yao waved his hand.

"If it doesn't work, my uncle should be able to talk." Yu Luying's slender jade fingers crossed her chin.

"I've heard people say that borrowing is much easier than transferring schools, just get through the relationship, and you don't even need to get through the relationship, and the borrowing is very relaxed." Xiao Yao said.

"It's definitely easier than changing schools," Yu Luying said, "As for relaxation, who told you?" ”

"Forget." Xiao Yao said.

"The money is definitely going to be spent, and it won't be a small amount. You'll have to figure it out for yourself. Yu Luying said.

"It should ...... Nothing is wrong? Xiao Yao asked, "How much?" ”

"Tens of thousands of dollars are always needed." Yu Luying said.

"Hmm." Xiao Yao said.

"Did Shen Jie bring her ID card and household registration book?" Yu Luying seemed to suddenly remember something.

"What kind of household registration book do you bring, and you don't elope out to get married." Xiao Yao smiled dumbly.

"Isn't it?" Yu Luying asked rhetorically.

"Ahem, I must have brought my ID card, but ...... I think it's better to use a fake name. Xiao Yao said.

"Fake identity?" Yu Luying was taken aback.

Of course, she knew the reason why Xiao Yao wanted to use a fake name, but ......

"You're a little whimsical, aren't you? How can we do such a thing as a fake identity with just a few of us? Yu Luying said.

"Ask my uncle?" Xiao Yao said.

"My uncle is a priest, not a godfather," Yu Luying said, "The Vatican is not in Sicily. ”

"No one said he was—" Xiao Yao said with a hippie smile.

"Okay, I'll help you ask." Yu Luying reluctantly said: "If it doesn't work, there is another way, as long as you can solve the problem of money - it is IB." ”

"I what B?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is an education system promoted by an international organization." Yu Luying explained.

Xiao Yao: "? ”

"It is not recognized in China, but most countries recognize it, and after finding a qualified educational institution, you should only need an ID card and spend money to register." Yu Luying said.

Xiao Yao: "...... Understand, find out. ”

"I said," Yu Luying owed to Xiao Yao: "Isn't Shen Jie not in a hurry to read, this emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, when the time comes, you have arranged it for her, what if she refuses to go?" ”

"Then spanking, she'll have to listen to me." Xiao Yaole said happily.

"Do you really raise people as daughters now?" Yu Luying said.

"If you are disobedient, I will fight you too...... Ahem, what's that. Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at the surrounding walls: "The man is the head of the woman, and the wife must obey the husband, the Bible says." ”

"!" Yu Luying raised her eyebrows and said: "After reading the whole Bible, you will only remember these two sentences. ”

"To be reasonable, this Bible has said more than once......" Xiao Yao said: "The most important thing is that I must do the right thing, and I can't let her be whimsical and whimsical - do you think I am doing the right thing?" ”

Yu Luying thought carefully for a few seconds and nodded lightly: "I personally think that yes." ”

"I don't know where she heard about her useless theory?" Xiao Yao said angrily.

"How many second-generation people have you seen with poor education?" Yu Luying said: "The academic qualifications of the second generation of basic people will be packaged. ”

"That's it." Xiao Yao said.

"And her father has a junior high school education, how is it possible?" Yu Luying said.

"Is it impossible?" Xiao Yao didn't know much about this.

"You don't have a basic understanding of how our first entrepreneurs got started." Yu Luying said: "There are basically no big entrepreneurs who graduated from junior high school. ”

"Oh yes, Shen Jie said that her father had a college diploma that was later gilded." Xiao Yao said.

"It's a master's student, and I can find it online." Yu Luying told Xiao Yao.

"You still went to specialize in Shen Hongsheng?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Uh-huh." Yu Luying wrote lightly: "In the early days, generally speaking, there were several backgrounds, who were nothing more than factory children, participated in school-run enterprises, and went to the sea to do business when they encountered the wind......"

"So you're not a nerd, are you?" Xiao Yao sat closer to Yu Luying, reached out to take her in his arms, and hooked her nose.

"You forget, my grandfather is also in business—compared to the nouveau riche like the Shen family, we are a famous family." Yu Luying struggled: "Let go, don't you look at what kind of place this is?" Can't stop you here? ”

Writing about famous families, reading as a remnant of the old society, Xiao Yao thought teasingly.

"It's just a hug," Xiao Yao said, "otherwise how can there be a date - we are a regular couple, and hugging is not against the teachings." ”

"What are we doing?" Yu Luying retorted.

"Look at the Old Testament saints, which one is not several wives." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Then you travel back to the Old Testament," Yu Luying said, "You go home and look behind the mirror to see if you can find the dial of the date?" ”

"Good strategy." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying leaned her body and leaned on Xiao Yao's arms, and preached: "Factory children, school-run enterprises, bureaucrats go to the sea, and a few of the few, people like Nian Guangba-what kind of father-in-law is you?" ”

"My father-in-law ......," Xiao Yao said.

"When did Huaxia Real Estate start? After the reform of the tax-sharing system, local urban investment was established, and some people began to go to the sea to do business. Real estate is an industry that requires frequent communication with government departments......" Yu Luying said.

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Yao suddenly realized and pretended to understand.

"Your family's Shen Hongsheng turned out to be a small section chief, who started out in business and real estate, how can such a person who is good at communication not know the importance of a good school?" Yu Luying said.

"Why do you know so much - maybe it's because of that era," Xiao Yao said: "I seem to have heard Shen Jie say that her father cut the queue and settled down, went to the mountains and went to the countryside......"

"It's not the first batch of ...... to resume the college entrance examination in 82" Yu Luying said thoughtfully: "All in all, what Shen Jie said, it is a petty-bourgeois behavior to have a way out of the university entrance examination, and it is pure...... Pull...... Gab. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yao said.

"It is indeed the idea of the people at the bottom and the petty bourgeoisie to get a way out of college, but for the wealthy class, university is also very important," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yao said.

"Shen Jie and I have known each other, although it has not been for a long time, but we still know each other a little," Yu Luying said: "Actually, I don't believe that she is such a naïve and shallow person. ”

"Then what do you mean......" Xiao Yao said.

"Maybe it's just being stubborn in front of you, with a hard mouth." Yu Luying said.

"I've always thought so...... Xiao Yao said.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to trouble you anymore, fake identity, borrowing or something, she thinks that even if she can do it, the cost performance is too low," Yu Luying guessed: "Of course, I'm talking nonsense, you've heard it - she may feel that even if she borrows it, it can't solve the problem of the college entrance examination." ”

"It's a problem," Xiao Yao admitted, "If she reconciles with her father later, what she borrows is what we are tossing around now, and if she really breaks up with her father, it will still be a problem in two years." ”

"I'm talking about IB, do you want to know more?" Yu Luying's demeanor when she said this was like a teacher who sold classes.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Yao said.

"Can we read poetry now?" Yu Luying asked.

"Read." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying took out the latest issue of "Poetry Magazine" that had been prepared a long time ago.

The two of them sat in the basement room until five or six o'clock, when Yu Bo came down and called them for dinner.

"Are you going to the orphanage tomorrow?" Yu Bo picked up a pair of chopsticks, shredded celery and meat, and put them on the rice and pulled them together.

"Go, go." Xiao Yao said: "The ribs made by the nun are so fragrant! ”

The old nun smiled and said, "If you like to eat, eat more—do you want more food?" ”

"If you want it, hey, I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself!" Xiao Yao shouted.

Taking advantage of the fact that the nun got up to serve the meal, Xiao Yao stretched out his head and approached Yu Bo, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Bo, do you know how to fake your identity?" ”

"I know," Yu Bo said without thinking: "There is a telephone pole at the entrance of the church, and 13800138000 you apply for a certificate, you can call and ask yourself." ”

"Is that reliable?" Xiao Yao scratched his head and said.

Yu Bo found that Xiao Yao was serious, and put the bowl on the table: "What are you going to do?" ”

-- Dividing line --

Taking advantage of the vast night, Xiao Yao reluctantly said goodbye to Yu Luying and Yu Bo, reversed two buses, and returned to Shen Jie's temporary residence.

The day's ...... Doesn't seem to have finished your summer homework yet?

Forget it, I'll write it when I come back from the summer camp, if it doesn't work, just copy Yu Luying's, maybe I can ask Shen Jie to help copy it, she doesn't have to hand in her homework anyway.

spent an afternoon alone with Yu Luying, as if she had done nothing other than discussing Shen Jie's affairs, reading poetry and chatting, and the physical contact was limited to holding hands, leaning and touching her lips, and before leaving, she really couldn't help but touch her ankles through her socks, and there was nothing else.

But my heart was filled with sweetness, joy and peace.

It's a satisfying book.

Yes, yes, this is the feeling of campus love depicted in "Juvenile Literature and Art".

Highlight an innocence, Xiao Yao thought with a smile.

"An orphanage? Tomorrow? Shen Jie shook her head and said, "No, no, you can go by yourself." ”

"Let's go, let's go, let's go together." Xiao Yao shook the girl's arm.

"No, don't go, you two go, it's such a hot day." Shen Jie was unmoved.

"I heard it's going to rain tomorrow, so it's not going to be very hot." Xiao Yao said.

"I don't want to go even more when it's raining." Shen Jie said expressionlessly.

Xiao Yao reported to Shen Jie the results of the discussion with Yu Luying this afternoon, about borrowing and fake identities.

To his surprise, Shen Jie was neither surprised nor objected: "Okay, if you can do it, just do it." ”

"I thought you'd object?" Xiao Yao said curiously.

"What's the use of objecting, you're my dad now." Shen Jie said: "But don't interfere with my catering investment plan." ”

Xiao Yaoxi said: "Okay - call Dad!" ”

"Wangbaba."

"Meow Mama!"

Xiao Yao hugged Shen Jie and fell on the crowded wire spring bed.

"Brother Bo really promised to help me get my identity?" Shen Jie hugged Xiao Yao and flipped over, riding on top of him.

"He didn't say it explicitly," Xiao Yao said, "just asked me for a name." ”

"Name, what's the name?" Shen Jie asked.

"I thought about it for a long time and gave you the name 'Xu Qingwei', how about it, is it good?" Xiao Yao said triumphantly.

"It's hard to hear!" Xu Qingwei said angrily: "Why don't you discuss this kind of thing with me first?" ”

That night, he took Xu Qingwei to the "Free Man Internet Café" to practice, and had a good time, a red rainstorm warning popped up in the lower right corner of the screen, and Xiao Yao also received a message from Yu Luying that the activity of going to the orphanage tomorrow was postponed.

"Is the day after tomorrow the summer camp meeting time and place the same?" Xiao Yao replied to the message and asked.

"This one doesn't change."

When the two of them walked to the door of the Internet café at about three o'clock, they found that the rain outside had turned white, and the water was shallow to the knees and deep to the waist.

Xiao Yao even saw a little brother swimming in the street, and he was amazed.

Xu Qingwei refused to perform a flower tour for Xiao Yao on the street, and the two of them returned to the Internet café and brushed up until dawn.

The rain had stopped, but the streets were still a vast ocean.

Xiao Yao pulled up his trouser legs, walked up to his wife, and squatted down with his back to her.

"What are you doing?" The girl was stunned.

"Come up, what are you doing?" Xiao Yao pointed to his back. (End of chapter)
