Chucheng

It doesn't matter.

Only then did Chen Jie understand why his classmates were whispering to him, why Lin Yi was waiting for him in the classroom alone, it turned out that he wanted to clarify the matter in front of him.

"What, ask the teacher to find me and ask me to go to her house." Chen Jie explained hastily.

"Ask why the teacher is looking for you so late?"

"The teacher said that the exam is more than a week away, and I don't know what she wants me to do, but I went to her house for an extra meal." Chen Jie said all the words in one go, to prove that he did not Tell lies.

"Well, maybe the teacher also wants you to be friends with Wen Qingyao." Lin Yi said with a smile after hearing Chen Jie's words.

Chen Jie gritted his teeth at the side, but he couldn't do anything about her teasing.

Lin Yi looked at Chen Jieju's frowning look, swept away the sorrow just now, and smiled slyly, covering his mouth.

Chen Jie knew that it was this flawless face that restored his peace of mind. Only with this innocent smiling face could he study with peace of mind for so long and make these progress.

Outside the window, half of the moon in early winter hangs in the sky, illuminating the quiet playground as bright as day.

After more than a month of intense review, Chen Jie lived up to the teacher's expectations. He won the first prize at the provincial level in the provincial chemistry competition. He was so beautiful for a while, and he became a role model for the students of Chucheng Middle School. !

three year pledge

After the Spring Festival in 1, accompanied by the endless rainy season, the third grade ([-]) class entered the last semester, and a big news came out: Xu Yanbing, the study committee member, was about to drop out of school!

The first to discover the clues was the monitor, Wei Guo. After one weekend, Wei Guo discovered that Xu Yanbing hadn't returned to school as scheduled. He still didn't come until the fourth day. Teacher Zheng called Wei Guo to him in the corridor outside the classroom. Said: "Wei Guo, do you know why Xu Yanbing didn't come to class?"

Wei Guo shook his head. He hadn't seen Xu Yanbing's familiar figure for four days. He was so restless that he couldn't attend the class, and was about to ask Teacher Zheng what was going on.

"You don't know, how about it? You go and ask her students from the same village why she didn't come." In Teacher Zheng's heart, he probably knows the reason. Under the current environment, there are There is basically only one reason why rural children do not come to school halfway, and that is that their parents do not allow them to go to school again.An ordinary rural family has to pay a variety of government funds such as withdrawals and reservations, public food and water fees, and school tuition fees of four to five hundred a year is indeed a big expense. If you don't go to school, you will marry in the future, and there is no use in going to school, so you can finish elementary school, at most junior high school, and you will be left at home to help with housework.

Wei Guo has always been a good helper to the teacher, so the teacher knows that he can find out about such things. He knows that there is a male student in Class 3 ([-]) and Xu Yanbing are both in Peach Blossom Village in the west of Jingzhou City.So he didn't have any embarrassing intentions: "Okay, teacher, I've asked, so I'll tell you."

At noon, Wei Guo went to find that classmate. It turned out that the news of the dropout was reported by that classmate, but his home was some distance away from Xu Yanbing's home. Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't know the specific reason. He volunteered to the teacher and said that he wanted to go to Xu Yanbing's house during the physical education class in the afternoon to find out the situation, and Teacher Zheng agreed.

In this way, after finishing two classes in the afternoon, he rode his bicycle and headed towards Xu Yanbing's house. To the west of Jingzhou City, he has been to Jingzhou City several times, and he is still very familiar with the surrounding roads. The teacher was going to visit Xu Yanbing's house, and asked about the specific route to Xu Yanbing's house.

The cindery ground was very wet after it had just rained, and there were puddles of water on the village road from time to time. Nearly two meters deep, the water inside is not big but the water is rushing, rushing.The closer he was to Xu Yanbing's home, the more nervous Wei Guo was. What was he worried about?He was not sure whether he was worried about seeing Xu Yanbing or that she would drop out of school.This is rare for him. He has always been mature and stable, and from the outside, he is completely different from Chen Jie. When you are young, you can help the family with housework, and even lead the oxen to plow the fields.

While riding his bicycle, Wei Guo thought about what he would encounter when he arrived at Xu Yanbing's house. Will he see Xu Yanbing?Will she meet her parents?In front of him, not far away, a rural man was also riding a bicycle. There were a lot of things on the back seat. From a distance, it looked like two bags of chemical fertilizers, pedaling hard.A gust of wind blew over, the wheel of the man on the bike slipped, the faucet tilted, and the man with the car fell headlong into the ditch on the side of the road.Wei Guo saw it, stepped on the bike a few times, and rode quickly to the place where the man fell into the water.Seeing the man standing in the water, helpless and not knowing how to get up, Wei Guo hurriedly got off the car and said to him, "Uncle, let me help you."

When the man saw that Wei Guo came to help him, he didn't care that his head was already bleeding.First he held up the bicycle and asked Weiguo to pull it up. After Weiguo parked the bike, he pulled the man up.The man was already drenched, and although the weather in April had already entered spring, it was still a bit chilly.The man wiped the blood on his head and cursed: "Damn, this bad road..." Turning to Wei Guo, he said: "Thank you, young man, you are not from our place, it will rain soon , what are you here for?"

Wei Guo said: "It doesn't matter, Uncle, I am from Chunan Village. I came here to find a classmate named Xu Yanbing. Uncle, do you know where their home is?"

"Xu Yanbing, why are you looking for her?" The man looked at Wei Guo curiously.

"Our teacher asked me to come over and see why she didn't go to class." Wei Guo saw that he was a little on guard, and revealed his identity, "I am the monitor of their class."

"Oh, monitor, then you come with me. I know." The man said.

When Wei Guo heard this, he was very happy: "Okay, thank you uncle, you are from their village? Then do you know why she didn't go to school? Didn't she ask for leave?"

The man hesitated for a while, then sighed and said, "She can't go to school anymore."

Wei Guo thought it was strange, but the man didn't continue to talk, he didn't continue to ask, and pushed the cart with him on the muddy path.

After walking a small path, the man turned the front of the car and entered the yard of a single three-room brick house on the side of the road. There were no other houses on the left or right. The man turned back to Weiguo and said, "What are you doing here? Come in quickly, this is Xu Yanbing's house!" After speaking, he shouted to the house: "Swallow, you have a classmate who came to see you."

It wasn't until Xu Yanbing's answer came from the room that Wei Guo realized that this man was Xu Yanbing's father.

Xu Yanbing came out of the house, still as usual, her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, she was wearing the school uniform, when she suddenly saw Wei Guo's expression of surprise and panic, she wrung her hands and said, "Squad leader, come in and sit down." ..." Noticing that his father was soaked from head to toe, and his head was injured again, he was even more surprised: "Dad, what's the matter with you?"

"I fell down on the road, but fortunately your squad leader pulled me up from the ditch." Dad said to Xu Yanbing, "I'll go and change my clothes first, you can let your squad leader come in and sit for a while."

Wei Guo stood in front of the house in a daze, leaning on the handlebar, and said to Xu Yanbing, "The teacher asked me to ask why you didn't go to school."

"I...I can't go to school anymore, why don't you come in and sit down first." Xu Yanbing let him go home, and it was obvious that although she had a smile on her face, her red eyes revealed her true situation .

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the room: "Xu Yanbing, where is he going? This bed sheet is dirty again, hurry up and clean it up."

Xu Yanbing hastily agreed, and said apologetically to Wei Guo: "My mother...you...wait here first..." After saying that, she went into the house.

Wei Guo parked his car in the courtyard and was about to enter the house, but at the door he almost bumped into a woman who came out of the house.

"Hey, who are you?" The woman asked Wei Guo, looking at him.

"I am... The teacher asked me to see why she didn't go to school." Wei Guo saw that this woman was dressed young and coquettishly, so he couldn't tell what to call her.

"The family is too busy, Xu Yanbing can't go to school anymore." The woman said with a defensive face, staring at Weiguo.

"Mom, this is our squad leader." Xu Yanbing pushed out from behind at this moment.

"Auntie..." Only then did Wei Guo realize that this young woman was Xu Yanbing's mother, and she was obviously younger than his mother.

Xu's mother raised her head, interrupted Wei Guo's words, and said to Xu Yanbing: "Go and clean up the old lady's bed, otherwise the house will be uninhabitable."

Weiguo didn't know what to do, and stood there not knowing what to do.

At this time, Xu's father came out and said to Xu's mother: "The teacher asked the classmates to ask Yanzi, why don't you let Yanzi go back to school and talk to the teacher?"

"Tell me what to say!" Xu's mother said bluntly: "If you don't go, you won't go. What's there to say? You are such a big man, you can't even ride a bike well, it's really useless!"

Xu's father hung his head and said nothing more, Xu's mother waved her hand arrogantly, sighed and walked out, muttering something.

After Xu's mother left, Xu's father called Xu Yanbing and said: "Yanbing, the house is like this, and there is no way to entertain your classmates. In this way, you and the class monitor will have a meeting."
