The math teacher just said it casually, and seeing that Xu Kangtai, the Chinese teacher, didn't take it to heart, she also put this matter behind her.

Xu Kangtai continued to flip through the newspaper, taking a sip of hot water from a thermos cup from time to time.

The math teacher didn't know when class was going to work, and the only thing in the office was the rustle of paper flipping.

Xu Kangtai swept through all the news reports of interest, and as soon as he put down the newspaper, the words of the math teacher echoed in his ears again.

Anyway, there is still time, otherwise go and see what kind of "Grandpa Big Tree" is?

What if the math teacher misremembers the author's name?

After hesitating for a while, Xu Kangtai picked up the newspaper again and found "Grandpa Big Tree" in the family column.

The author's signature is good, it is "Jiang Fanyue".

Xu Kangtai looked down a few lines, his eyebrows furrowed together.

The childish style of this animal, the forest, seems to have been seen in the student's weekly diary. But whether that student is Jiang Fanyue or not, he has no impression, he has never been right about things and not people when he corrects homework.

Xu Kangtai pressed his temperament, glanced at ten lines, and hurriedly swept the entire article.

He didn't understand how this childish style of writing was chosen, and did the editor who reviewed the manuscript like this style?

At the bottom of the article, there happened to be a comment from the editor-in-chief, and Xu Kangtai read it word by word.

[The author uses this article to dissolve the reader's fear of losing a loved one with every sentence that Grandpa Dashu says, and presents the child's understanding of death. 】

That's it?

Xu Kangtai thought about it and understood.

The style of this essay is naïve and the writing is rustic, but the merit lies in the fact that its central idea is about death.

He has been teaching Chinese for more than 20 years, and how can he forget that as long as the theme of an essay is not biased, his grades will not be low.

It seems that when he submitted his manuscripts before, the topics were not special enough.

On the first day of school, the hearts of the students in the class did not take back, and the teacher did not take everyone to learn new knowledge, but reviewed the content of the previous semester.

At noon, Jiang Fanyue went to the canteen to eat with her lunch box in her hand.

As soon as she left, the classroom exploded.

"What the hell is the situation, do any of you dare to inquire with Jiang Fanyue?"

"Why don't you go yourself."

"I haven't said a word to her before, and now I suddenly run to her and ask her how she has changed so much, is it because the family has money, will she answer me?"

“…… When you say that, it seems that none of the people in our class have spoken to her. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other.

There were so many people in the class, and Jiang Fanyue was still the center of their conversation, but for several months, they hadn't even communicated with Jiang Fanyue.

"Yao Liangcai, you were the most active about Jiang Fanyue's affairs before, why don't you even say a word now? Do you know something? At this time, Yao Liangcai's fellow table sensed that something was wrong, and the conversation changed and pointed the finger at Yao Liangcai.

Others followed suit.

"Yes, Yao Liangcai really didn't say anything today. I haven't seen you for two months, how have you become cowardly. ”

"Are you afraid of Jiang Fanyue?"

"No, no, no."

Yao Liangcai's face was a little unbearable, and he slapped the table angrily: "Don't you just want to know what happened to Jiang Fanyue, if you want me to say, Jiang Fanyue will ask directly when he comes back in a while." If we took the initiative to talk to Jiang Fanyue, she would definitely answer us happily. ”

Yao Liangcai at the same table: "Then who is going to ask?" You go? ”

Yao Liangcai subconsciously blurted out "just go", but when the words came to his mouth, he was still a little from the heart.

When he was sitting still, he saw the second girl in the next class burying her head and passing through the corridor.

Yao Liangcai's eyes lit up, and he rushed out of the classroom and stopped in front of Erniu.

The second girl was frightened, and subconsciously raised her head, revealing her face.

Her facial features were actually very good, but a brown birthmark was firmly on the left side of her face, destroying the harmony.

Seeing the strong disgust in Yao Liangcai's eyes, Er Niu hurriedly lowered her head again, her hands hanging by her side: "You...... What are you doing? ”

Yao Liangcai put his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes: "You and Jiang Fanyue are from the same village, let me ask you, has her family made a lot of money recently?" ”

Erniu was vigilant: "I don't know." ”

"You don't know? I don't think you want to say it. ”

The second girl's eyes were fixed on her toes, wanting to bypass Yao Liangcai, but the other party wouldn't let her go. Several times in a row, the second girl's eyes were red uncompetitively.

Because of the conspicuous birthmark, the second girl has been called ugly everywhere she has grown up.

She is luckier than Jiang Fanyue?40; Yes, she has an older brother who is willing to stand up for her, and whenever she comes home crying, the next day he will run to warn those who are bullying her.

But after a long time, Erniu found that this didn't work.

My brother also has his own life, and it is impossible to follow her every day to block cold words for her and scold those who bully her.

And many times, the bullying of children is invisible.

They don't beat her, they don't scold her, they just exclude her and dislike her.

She was bruised by their attitudes, but she was also accused of being unsociable...... It seems that she is always the one who is wrong.

Erniu plucked up her courage and repeated again: "I really don't know." ”

Yao Liangcai was angered by the attitude of the second girl.

He suspected that Erniu had heard about Jiang Fanyue beating him and had become less afraid of him, so he dared to refute his question so strongly.

In addition, the classmates in the class were all sticking to the window and looking at him, Yao Liangcai clenched his fists: "You stay in the same village with her, you don't know what the situation is at her house?" Why, do you feel that you have the ability, so you become dragged up? ”

The second girl was so frightened that she took a step back.

In fact, Yao Liangcai was just scaring her, but looking at her bloodless appearance, he couldn't help but take a step forward: "I'll tell you-"

"Yao Liangcai! What are you doing! ”

Jiang Fanyue returned to the classroom with the lunch box, saw this scene at a glance, shouted violently, and sprinted over, firmly protecting the second girl behind her: "Do you want to bully people again?" ”

Yao Liangcai subconsciously put his fist behind his back and looked up at the sky: "I didn't, I just chatted with her for a few words." ”

Jiang Fanyue looked back at Erniu and relaxed a little.

Catching a glimpse of the lunch box in Erniu's hand, Jiang Fanyue softened her voice: "Go to the cafeteria to eat, there is fried pork with beans today, it tastes very good, and it will be gone if you go late." ”

The second girl looked at Jiang Fanyue, then at Yao Liangcai, and suddenly sped up her steps and ran past Yao Liangcai.

This time, Yao Liangcai didn't stop it again.

The second girl breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that at the fork in the road, Erniu hesitated, or stopped and turned back to the first class of junior high school.

After the second girl left, Jiang Fanyue ignored Yao Liangcai and walked into the classroom.

A boy in the front row suddenly shouted: "Hey, Jiang Fanyue, you are dressed so well now, don't you have to pick up garbage in the future?" ”

After saying that, he slapped the table and laughed.

Jiang Fanyue stopped and looked sideways at the boy who was talking: "What do you want to express?" ”

The boy's laughter stopped abruptly: "What? ”

"You stopped me, said such a thing, and were still laughing after speaking, don't you think you have a good sense of humor."

was stared at by other classmates, and the boy's face was a little unbearable: "Are you mistaken, I just want to say hello to you." If you don't want to answer, you can not answer, don't think that your family has money. ”

"Aren't you the one who dragged it?" Jiang Fanyue has always felt the emotions of others very clearly, "Whoever greets must deliberately emphasize the three words of picking up garbage." ”

"What's wrong?" The boy was annoyed, "This is the truth, don't let people say it?" In the past, we called you the garbage king every day, but we didn't see you refute it, but now that the family has money, it starts to be sideways, right? ”

Jiang Fanyue put away her lunch box and went straight to the boy.

I don't know why, it is clear that Jiang Fanyue's expression has not changed at all, but a cowardice rises in the boy's heart: "You...... What are you going to do......"

"I just wanted to reason with you." Jiang Fanyue smiled instead and glanced at Yao Liangcai, "I won't beat you like I beat Yao Liangcai at the beginning, after all, this is the school." ”

Everyone in the class: "? ”

Yao Liangcai: "......"

Jiang Fanyue continued: "I didn't refute it at the beginning because I didn't have the courage to stand up. At some point, it is also a mistake to defend yourself. Would you be happy if I called you a dwarf in turn and attacked your height desperately? ”

The shortest boy in the class: "......"

"Look, you're not happy."

Jiang Fanyue looked around at the people around her: "I don't think that opening a waste recycling station at home will be inferior, but your disgusting attitude will always make me feel that I am a particularly bad person." ”

She smiled, and there was a flash of light in her eyes: "Until recently, I didn't understand one thing, it's not me who is bad, it's you who hide malice under your nickname, use ridicule others to get psychological satisfaction, and do evil in the name of the collective without knowing it!" ”

"Have you never felt like you've done anything wrong?"

"When someone is in a bad mood because of your words, you will innocently say, 'Ah, I'm just stating the facts, do you need to be so careful?' But a truly innocent person, even if he offends someone, must do so unintentionally, and will apologize for his offense and always empathize with the difficulties of others. ”

"Ask yourself, do you really feel innocent?"

"How can it be a matter of standing up to defend your reputation? This is clearly an act of courage. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Fanyue took a deep breath and looked around, taking into everyone's eyes whether they were surprised, confused, or annoyed.

"I know, I've taken the time to say so many things that you don't necessarily understand. Those who understand may not necessarily take it to heart, let alone reflect on their words and deeds. ”

However, these words have been pressing on my heart for a long time. I just want to lift the fig leaf and show the mirror so that you can see for yourselves how abominable you are when you base your happiness on the pain of others! ”

The short boy who was almost scolded by Jiang Fanyue pointed his nose and said angrily: "Jiang Fanyue, there is something wrong with you." I just wanted to ask if your family has become richer. ”

How could he not know that Jiang Fanyue could say so much before.

Isn't she mute?

"Yes." Others are also helping, "We didn't do anything to you this time, do you need to scold us all?" ”

Jiang Fanyue looked at the person who spoke: "I'm scolding those who deliberately take advantage of my family background and the appearance of the second girl, you are so anxious to take a seat, it seems that you know very well what you have done." ”

The person who was just helping: "......"

Jiang Fanyue suddenly smiled: "I know what you guys are curious about. Yes, my family has really changed for the better, my mother is now running a factory, although she is not making a lot of money for the time being, but she can let me have a lot of new clothes and new toys. ”

"I guess what you're thinking."

"You should be thinking, I dare to stand up and say these things, it must be because I have money in my family. But I came forward, and it had nothing to do with my family's circumstances, just because I realized that if I was really crushed by your gossip, then your plot would succeed. ”

Conspiracy?

Yao Liangcai: Their faces were dazed.

They just laughed at each other, how could they conspire.

Jiang Fanyue crossed the aisle and beckoned to the second girl outside the door: "The so-called conspiracy refers to the fact that you think that the children who grew up picking up garbage will definitely make a living by picking up garbage in the future." Children with birthmarks on their faces will be discriminated against when they leave society in the future, and they can only be at the bottom of society forever. ”

"If I believed what you said, I'd really be picking up trash for the rest of my life. Maybe one day he will die in the garbage heap, and no one knows. ”

"I will study hard, get ahead, do my best to do the best I can, live a wonderful life, and leave you people far behind, this is my greatest revenge on you."

In the afternoon, when Xu Kangtai came to class, he found that the atmosphere in the class was very depressing.

Except for Jiang Fanyue, everyone else looked like they were in a trance and wandering outside the sky.

Xu Kangtai patted the desk and reminded them that the class bell had already rang, but the effect was still minimal, he frowned, and simply memorized the ancient poems he had learned last semester.

Finally, after school, everyone left the classroom.

Jiang Fanyue carried her schoolbag and went downstairs to push her bicycle.

The second girl pushed the bicycle and followed her and thanked her loudly.

Jiang Fanyue sent out an invitation: "We all have to go back to the village, let's go together." ”

The two rode in silence for a while.

The second girl opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to say something to Jiang Fanyue, and at the last moment she vented her courage.

Jiang Fanyue smiled and took the initiative to speak, without letting her dwell on any longer: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

The second girl was startled, the route of the bicycle immediately staggered, and she hurriedly stabilized the front of the car: "That's it, I think you have changed a lot......"

Under Jiang Fanyue's gaze, Erniu slowly organized her language: "I want to ask, how did you make the change. ”

She swallowed and added, "If it's inconvenient, forget it." It's okay. ”

Jiang Fanyue looked at Erniu, as if she had seen her former self.

Even the previous self was more cowardly than the second girl.

"Erniu, I've always been a little envious of you before."

"Envy me?" The second girl is unbelievable.

Jiang Fanyue nodded, and the whistling wind blew from behind her, causing the fluff on her cotton clothes to shake forward: "Yes, you have a good brother." But then I don't envy you anymore, because I just learned some time ago that I also have a good cousin. It's just that he's too far away from me to stand in front of me and help me get rid of the bad boys. ”

Erniu empathized: "Actually, my brother is too." He has to work to earn money, and he can't be with me all the time. ”

"That's right."

Jiang Fanyue raised her hand, put on her hat, and protected her ears that were red by the wind.

Her voice came from under her hat, muffled.

"Ever since I realized this, I've always wanted to make changes and breakthroughs. But I always had some trouble getting the hang of it, until that day, I beat Yao Liangcai. ”

"I know about it." There was some happiness in Erniu's voice, and she said embarrassedly, "I secretly went to see Yao Liangcai at that time, and he was beaten into a pig's head by you." ”

Jiang Fanyue also smiled with her: "Then did you come to see me at that time?" I wasn't hurt at all. ”

The second girl snorted.

Jiang Fanyue said: "I found out that Yao Liangcai is a paper tiger, and when I have the courage to resist him, he will not dare to provoke me again." ”

"The courage to resist?"

"Yes. Your family will always protect you, but there will definitely be times when they are not well protected, and at that time, you have to stand up and protect yourself. ”

Erniu silently recalled what Jiang Fanyue said in her heart.

Jiang Fanyue said: "It must be difficult to do this at the beginning. But it doesn't matter, we're friends and I'll help you. ”

"Would you like to be my friend?" Erniu's eyes lit up instantly.

Jiang Fanyue was very generous: "Of course. In the future, we can play together and do homework together. If you have time, you can come to my house and play with me at any time. ”

The village is close in front of them, the homes of the two are not in the same direction, Jiang Fanyue and Erniu waved goodbye, pedaled the bicycle and turned around.

When she arrived at the door of her home, Jiang Fanyue pushed her bicycle into the cowshed, and saw a pot of flowers in the corner, and said, "Huh": "Did you buy flowers at home?" ”

Jiang Fanyue squatted in front of the flower pot and touched the hay covering it.

"Coming back?" Yao Rong came out of the kitchen, saw her movements, and explained, "I recently wanted to learn how to grow flowers, and when I went to the town to buy the newspaper "Changjin Weekly", I bought a flower pot and a bag of Gesang flower seeds by the way, and planned to try to see if I could cultivate and sprout them in winter. ”

"Gesang flowers?"

"It also has a particularly nice nickname, called Happy Flower. It is rumored to be a flower that can bring happiness to people. ”

Jiang Fanyue's heartstrings moved.

Although she had never seen the appearance of this flower, she inexplicably had a preference from the bottom of her heart.

"It's nice to get the name of this flower."

Yao Rong agreed, and asked her how she was doing at school today: "You look very happy." ”

Jiang Fanyue stood up from the flower pot: "Mom, I want to tell you something, don't be sad after you hear it, because they have already passed." ”

Yao Rong looked puzzled.

Jiang Fanyue pulled Yao Rong into the house.

She had barely told her mom about her time at school before.

Life was already hard, and she didn't want her mother to be sad about her things anymore.

But now, she can show all those scars to her mother.

Because she won't be bothered by those scars anymore.

After listening to Jiang Fanyue's words, Yao Rong was silent for a long time, reached out and gently hugged Jiang Fanyue, and whispered in her ear: "Yueyue, do you know where your most powerful place is?" ”

"The best thing about you is that you still maintain your childlike innocence in the midst of anger and pain, and you still have fantasies and love for the world. Even though you have been through a lot of bad things, you want to write something good. ”

"You are the Gesang flower seed in the pot, one day it will take root and sprout, bloom and bring happiness to all who see you."

Jiang Fanyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, so, is this the reason why my mother deliberately planted Gesang flowers?

It's just that it brings happiness to everyone......

It's such an ambitious goal, can she really do it?

Just when Jiang Fanyue was a little suspicious of herself, Yao Rong stuffed a black signature pen into her hand.

Jiang Fanyue subconsciously clenched it firmly.

She understood.

It's hard to bring happiness to everyone, but she's found the key.

As long as she holds the pen in her hand and never stops creating, she can accomplish this goal.

Late at night, Jiang Fanyue crouched in front of his desk and began to create.

The light of the kerosene lamp shines obliquely down and falls on the paper, staggered light and dark.

The tip of the pen slid over the soft paper, making a rustling sound, and page after page of blank paper, written night after night, the novella "Wishing Mirror" was finally created.
