Chapter 12: The Stand-in for the Parents' Legend
Li Jingna seems to have been thrown into a psychedelic world, surrounded by black holes, and her body seems to have lost gravity, drifting in the space of the black hole.
"Xuehua... Snowflake..." Li Jingna's consciousness still had the scene of Cheng Xuehua being murdered to protect her, and she couldn't help shouting anxiously.
"Jingna, I'm here."
Li Jingna followed the sound and saw that Cheng Xuehua was standing not far from her side with a smile.
Li Jingna ran over excitedly: "Xuehua, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, but I can't go to Shangjiang to teach."
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to another world."
"Another world? Where is it? ”
"It's far away, but my parents are there. Maybe... And your Jade Tiger brother. ”
Li Jingna was confused: "Aren't they all dead?" ”
"No, they didn't die, they went to that world."
"That... Can I come with you? ”
Cheng Xuehua shook his head: "No, you have to help me realize my wish." ”
Li Jingna looked at her blankly: "Your wish? ”
"Yes, you have to go to Shangjiang instead of me to teach those students knowledge."
"No... I'm going to go with you... I'm going to find Brother Jade Tiger..."
"Jingna, let's forget about him. You will meet men in this world who are more worthy of your cherishment. Also, you have to fulfill my mission in this world in my place, which is a human debt you owe me. ”
When Cheng Xuehua said this, his entire body disappeared in a flash.
"Xuehua... No..."
When Li Jingna woke up again, she found that she was already lying in the hospital, and several blurred figures shook in front of her eyes.
"The girl is awake?" One of the middle-aged men spoke to her.
Li Jingna struggled to dilate her pupils, and only then could she see a few hazy figures—there were PLA soldiers in military uniforms, and doctors in white coats, just like when she woke up in the Linyang Occupy Hospital.
"I... Where is this? ”
A doctor in a white coat replied, "This is Fengyang Hospital." You fainted from shock and grief and were sent to us by your comrades in the PLA. ”
Li Jingna had already put aside the dream just now, and her thoughts quickly returned to the nightmarish alley...
"What about her..."
"You say it's the girl, right? I'm sorry, but she's been injured so badly that she's been gone for a long time. ”
Li Jingna's tears suddenly burst out of her eyes: "She... She... It's really gone..."
A Chinese soldier at the scene asked at this time: "Is the girl Comrade Cheng Xuehua?" ”
Li Jingna looked at the PLA in amazement, speechless for a while.
The middle-aged soldier explained: "We only found your name through the letter of introduction and your identification from the baggage you were still holding tightly in your hand when you were unconscious? Excuse me, who is the other girl who died? ”
Li Jingna's head buzzed, and the scene of the dream just now suddenly came to mind. Do you really want to replace Cheng Xuehua?
When she remembered the sad scene she saw before she fell unconscious, she couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.
"Yes, I am Cheng Xuehua."
When the middle-aged soldier saw that she suddenly became crisp, he continued to ask: "What about that girl?" ”
"Her name is Li Jingna, my classmate, and I met her on the road."
·················································
After the middle-aged soldier verified the identity of the 'Cheng Xuehua' in front of him, he immediately said: "Comrade Xuehua, I know that you are a party member, so I can take care of your body here with peace of mind, and the organization will arrange for you to return to Shangjiang soon." ”
"What about her?"
"Who?"
"Lee... Li Jingna?
"Don't worry, we will take care of her funeral and inform her family in Linyang."
Li Jingna hurriedly made a request: "I... Will you be able to see her for the last time? ”
"Yes, but you have to keep your emotions in check."
Li Jingna bit her lip: "I'll do my best." ”
Cheng Xuehua's body was placed in a side room of this small hospital, which must be regarded as a morgue of the hospital. She was covered in a white sheet.
Li Jingna was brought to this room, staring at the prominent figure under the sheets, and it was difficult to accept that it was her best friend who was lying inside, and she suffered misfortune because of herself.
One of the female nurses who accompanied her waited impatiently, and was too embarrassed to urge her, so she withdrew from the door alone, leaving her alone in a room with a somewhat frightening atmosphere.
Li Jingna suppressed her emotional fear at this moment, and was occupied by extreme sadness, and finally pounced.
She lifted the sheets. What is presented inside is Cheng Xuehua's serene face.
"Xuehua... You don't want to sleep... Wake up..."
Li Jingna, who was already in extreme grief, couldn't cry anymore, desperately shaking Cheng Xuehua's chest, fantasizing that she could be miraculously awakened, but all extravagant hopes finally came to naught.
Li Jingna finally got tired of tossing, and her mood slowly returned to calm.
"Xuehua, you won't die, it's Jingna who should be damned. Please rest assured, from now on, I am Cheng Xuehua, and I will complete your dreams on your behalf. And that Li Jingna, who was full of hatred, is dead. ”
After wiping away her tears and saying some of the above words, Li Jingna walked out of the mortuary with a sad look and decided to start again with a new identity.
She was then directly escorted to Shangjiang by the Fengyang garrison, and with Cheng Xuehua's identity resume, she successfully became a Chinese teacher in Shangjiang Huaiyuan Middle School and started a new career in her life.
Because of her excellent work, she was quickly appreciated by the leaders and colleagues of the middle school, and because she was a beautiful woman, she was also favored by many male colleagues. However, she just puts all her energy into her work, and never touches emotional matters, which discourages people who covet her.
On this day, Principal Chen summoned her to the office.
Li Jingna was a little apprehensive, because this Principal Chen had never talked to her about work alone, could it be that she had revealed any flaws, and her identity might be revealed?
President Chen is a woman in her sixties, who usually wears a pair of glasses and has stayed abroad, so she can be regarded as an old intellectual in old China.
"Teacher Xiao Cheng, sit down."
As soon as she saw that Li Jingna who came in was a little restrained, she smiled kindly at her.
Her smile at this time was really infectious, and it immediately reassured Li Jingna, who was uneasy in her heart.
Li Jingna returned to normalcy and calmly sat opposite Principal Chen: "Do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Well, I'd like to talk to you a little bit about work."
"Oh, if I have a problem, please criticize and advise."
Principal Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, your work has been excellent, and we are very satisfied." ”
"Oh, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Principal Chen continued to maintain a kind smile: "Teacher Xiao Cheng, just because you have an excellent job and a high level of theoretical knowledge, we want to add a burden to you. ”
"An extra burden? You... What do you mean? ”
"Hahaha, you're too young to be promoted to a leadership position, but I want you to be an off-campus teacher."
Li Jingna's heart was relieved: "Oh, it turned out to be an off-campus counselor, who do you want to counsel?" ”
Principal Chen's expression suddenly became solemn: "The objects you tutor are not ordinary people, they are all leaders. ”
Li Jingna opened her mouth wide in shock: "Ah... You asked me to tutor the chief? ”
Principal Chen nodded: "Yes, they are all leaders of the People's Liberation Army. ”
"The head of the PLA?"
"Well, there are many officers in our military management committee in Shangjiang City who are excellent commanders on the battlefield, but their education level is not high, and some officers have hardly studied for a few days, and they all rely on self-learning cultural knowledge in the army. It is now an era of peace, and it is impossible for them to participate in the building of the army without cultural knowledge. Therefore, the superior leaders wanted to make up for their shortcomings and decided to let them participate in cultural tutoring. ”
Li Jingna re-expressed her uneasiness: "Do you let those soldiers be teachers?" ”
"yes, don't you think it's appropriate?"
When Li Jingna thought that her new husband died at the hands of the People's Liberation Army, she always had a trace of mustard in her heart. Although she was once rescued by the People's Liberation Army, and with her in-depth understanding of the People's Liberation Army, she knew that they were an army that was deeply loved by the people, but she always had feelings for her personal selfishness.
"I'm sorry... I really can't do it..."
Principal Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that she refused: "Why?" ”
"I'm too young... It's okay to face junior high school students who are younger than me, but if you face a leader who is older than me, I'm afraid I will be nervous and unable to speak. ”
"Pure nonsense." Principal Chen said angrily, "In the open class, you face so many senior teachers, don't you give lectures very calmly? Don't make excuses like that. ”
No matter how Principal Chen persuaded her afterwards, Li Jingna couldn't pass this hurdle in her heart, and kept finding all kinds of excuses to excuse herself.
Principal Chen was a little helpless, and finally had to say, "Okay, let's talk about this today." You go back and think about it again. ”
Li Jingna walked out of the principal's office gloomily, on the way back to the dormitory, she had been struggling with her thoughts, and Cheng Xuehua's voice and smile suddenly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but think about it, if Xuehua was still there, what would she think about it?
As soon as she thought like this, she suddenly realized that she was Cheng Xuehua now, and she was no longer Li Jingna, so she couldn't help but raise her fist and slam her head in annoyance, and then turned around and ran towards the principal's office-
Principal Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her go and return: "Teacher Xiaocheng, who are you?" ”
Li Jingna was a little out of breath: "Principal... I agreed to be an out-of-school tutor. ”
Principal Chen looked surprised: "Teacher Cheng, you... I was so tough just now... Why did you figure it out so quickly? ”
Li Jingna nodded vigorously and didn't explain too much, but in her heart she warned herself over and over again - because I am Cheng Xuehua!
