Don't suffer Lao Tzu

Sunday morning, ten o'clock sharp.

"Master, how long is it?" Tang Shixi asked anxiously.

The driver was unhurried, indifferent to fame and wealth, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled, looking at the endless traffic in front of him very depressed, "I feel like you've made it by now, kid."

Tang Shixi slowed down for a few seconds, paid the money, got out of the car and ran straight away, and was stuck in traffic for more than ten minutes with a distance of several hundred meters.

The two zeros after ten o'clock became zero three, and Tang Shiyi felt that Su Siying was standing at the main entrance from a distance, reciting English with her head bowed.

He ran forward a few steps, apologized before he could catch his breath, "Don't worry, there's a traffic jam."

"It's okay, let's go." Sui Siying pushed her eyes and put away the booklet.

"Yes." Tang Shixi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The ranking is out." Sui Siying said.

The two walked around the rockery, and the shade of the trees relieved Tang Shiyi's dry heat.

"How is it?" Tang Shixi asked.

"You are second."

"Let me ask you, how was the exam?" Tang Shiyi didn't care much about his overall ranking, as long as he did his best.

Sui Siying was taken aback, "Fourth."

Tang Shiyi clicked his tongue, and Sui Siying thought he was a little regretful that he didn't pass the exam, and comforted him, "I've seen the list, and your English has improved by more than 300. You really need to make up for your Chinese. There are more than 700. There are only 800 people in the group..."

"No, wait a minute, I'm not tsk tsk, I have to change the same table again, it's so troublesome." Tang Shiyi smiled, but it was heartbreaking to be spoiled by the language, but fortunately English came up.

"Trouble? Why bother?" Sui Siying asked.

The two pressed the elevator.

"It's okay, it's only been a few months. I... didn't like talking before, I always felt out of place with Banli, it's okay, I'm too sensitive." Tang Shiyi smiled frankly, without any To cover up, it is much more enjoyable to say it like this.

Sui Siying looked at the shrinking number, "Someone has a problem with you."

"You..." Tang Shiyi shook his head happily, "You're too honest, you can follow up on whatever you say, I'm a self-deprecating one, okay?"

The elevator door opened, and a group of people huffed in. Those carrying boxes of lunch, those carrying fruit, and those wandering around in hospital gowns all squeezed into the elevator, and the air became stuffy in an instant.

Both of them shut their mouths and waited quietly.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the two hurried out.

"Did you smell it just now? Someone bought roast duck. It smells so good." Tang Shixi said with a smile.

Sui Siying sighed, "I treated you before..."

Tang Shiyi unintentionally made the gesture that Shen Qing often puts in his pocket, but he was not angry and listened patiently.

"I'm sorry." Sui Siying was very sincere. Just as she was about to bow to Tang Shiyi, her shoulders were immediately lifted.

"What are you doing? I need you to apologize. Let's not make such a big show, okay? It's important to get down to business. How long have you been late?" Tang Eleven said solemnly.

"It seems that you are late." Sui Siying questioned.

"Wrong, wrong, let's go." Tang Shiyi said, pushing Sui Siying, "Did you bring the card?"

"Of course." Sui Siying became serious again.

Tang Shiyi nodded his head, "Alright."

"The one in front?" Tang Shixi counted the numbers of the wards at the door.

"Ah."

The two of them walked to the door of the concierge, and they could not see the inside through the frosted glass. This is the inpatient department, not as noisy as the outpatient department, and very quiet.

Seeing Zhao Qingshi's name written on the card at the door, Tang Shiyi's heart tightened, and he suddenly panicked, which should be caused by excitement.

Sui Siying gently pushed the door open, and Tang Shiyi followed behind, looking inside.

Old Zhao was wearing a hospital gown, sitting on the bed and reading a book, his hair was combed neatly, and he looked good.

"Old Zhao!" Tang Shixi shouted excitedly.

"Hello, teacher." Sui Siying said.

As soon as Lao Zhao raised his head and saw the two of them, they immediately opened their mouths from ear to ear, and put the book aside, "Sit, sit, sit, you've grown taller."

Tang Shiyi and Sui Siying smiled and sat on the accompanying bed opposite.

"What's the matter recently? Are you tired? The pace of the third year of high school is very fast. You must pay attention to rest. I see that I have dark circles under my eyes." Lao Zhao smiled kindly, and the new hospital gown was a little stiff. It seems that Lao Zhao's back is very straight, but he has the spirit of the past.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, Tang Shixi nodded, "You are a bit."

"You have some too."

Old Zhao's eyes switched back and forth between the two of them, but he couldn't get enough of them.

"Teacher Zhang came the day before yesterday and told me about the situation in the class. As the class monitor, Siying must assist the teacher in managing the class well and play a leading role." Old Zhao's narrowed eyes, which can't be opened at all, are shining brightly , as if sitting in the office arranging work, Tang Shixi felt very uncomfortable.

"Understood, teacher." Sui Siying pushed up her glasses.

"Ms. Zhang said that you arranged seats according to your grades?" Lao Zhao asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

"How did you do in the model test?" Old Zhao asked.

"Not bad." Tang Shixi said.

"Not good." Sui Siying followed

Tang Shiyi silently glanced at Sui Siying.

"Don't be modest, both of you, you are better than Orban's. I've seen the same questions this time. It's no wonder that solid geometry and conic sections are a bit biased. I still remember the similar question types on Eleven." Zhao said, looking at Tang Shiyi with proud eyes.

Tang Shixi immediately sat up straighter, rubbing his hands back and forth on his thighs in embarrassment.

"Whether maths or Chinese is good, all subjects rely on accumulation, accumulating over time. If you have enough brains, you won't be able to prove real gold if you don't have some real skills. I have seen many people who are quick-witted but not particularly hard-working. All the cars overturned, so you have to be willing to work hard." Old Zhao said earnestly.

Tang Shiyi listened to everything, and he and Sui Siying nodded slightly.

"Weaving baskets and baskets is all at the end. You must calm down in the final sprint. I'm not worried about this on November [-]. It's mainly about Siying. Don't be nervous. When you are nervous, you will tend to be sloppy." Old Zhao said.

"Got it, teacher." Sui Siying listened carefully.

"Now take advantage of the first round to quickly review. The first round is the most detailed. The second round, the third round, and even the fourth round are a lot of questions. Because the last year of the university was over at [-] o'clock, we can still squeeze out time for the third round and the fourth round." However, after the education reform, the progress is relatively slow, but compared with other high schools, our school’s progress and quality are very objective. Mr. Zhang has taught Aoban, has a lot of experience and ability, and I think he will take you to squeeze The time is three rounds." As Lao Zhao said, he suddenly remembered that the two students had no water to drink, so he got up immediately, "They brought a bunch of gifts, let me see...here, they all said this is delicious .”

After speaking, he took two bottles of milk-based drinks and handed them to Tang Shiyi and Sui Siying, took a sip of warm water, and continued

"After the National Day is over, I will take it easy. The first model is difficult, the second model is the most similar to the college entrance examination, and the third model is the easiest, but remember that no matter whether you pass the test or not, you must have a summary of experience. I will not talk about the real test paper. , are all necessary. The second model is probably less than two months away, hold on tight. And you must pay attention to safety, body, all capital, there was a boy playing basketball in the third year of high school, and his ankle Broken bones, directly abducted to the examination room. Especially on the [-]th, be aware of it, don't bump into it." Lao Zhao looked at his students, as if he couldn't finish talking.

"Teacher, this is written by everyone in our class. They are all from the heart. Everyone misses you very much. I will pass on what you said." Sui Siying held the iron box in both hands and handed it to Old Zhao.

Old Zhao was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he was used to the sudden sensationalism for a long time. "For me?"

Tang Shiyi nodded with a smile, feeling sore seeing Lao Zhao's surprised eyes.

"What is this here..." Lao Zhao murmured to himself in the end, and opened the box under the gaze of the two. The first picture was a wooden house in the snowy field, very ethereal.

Old Zhao carefully took out the first one, "It's so pretty."

Turn it over, and there are densely packed small characters written on it. Tang Shiyi guessed it was written by a girl, and it was written by a special agent.

Old Zhao lowered his head and stared at it for a while, sighed to suppress his excitement, and carefully put the postcard back, closed the box and held it in his hand, "Thank you."

The language of the man of science and technology is not gorgeous, but simple and simple, which makes people feel more powerful and warm.

Tang Shiyi smiled and said nothing, while Sui Siying lowered her head in embarrassment.

Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, his eye circles were a little red. Tang Shiyi knew that Old Zhao couldn't bear to part with the class he had taught for two years.

"You...you all need to be well, and you can't do without one..." Lao Zhao lowered his head and stared at the iron box and whispered.

Tang Shiyi sniffed. Although he had changed many teachers, some of them transferred to another school without remembering anything. Whether it was due to time or because he didn't know others well, Tang Shixi always felt old. Zhao is the best teacher in his heart.

Sitting silently, he patted Old Zhao's back, touched the bone in his hand, it was very painful...

"Old Zhao, why are you so thin?" Tang Shiyi withdrew his hand, thinking that he had touched the wrong place.

Old Zhao smiled and waved his hands, tugged at his shirt, "It's nothing serious, I just had a minor operation."

Sui Siying glanced at Tang Shiyi, who shook his head irresolutely.

Old Zhao saw it in his eyes, "I'm not lying to you, I'm fine, don't worry about me, think about your senior year, don't waste your time, when you get to university, you will find that high school is really beautiful."

The two nodded. At this moment, Teacher Zhao's lover gently opened the door, saw two students, and greeted them warmly.

"That... the nurse wants to..."

"Oh, oh, okay, I got it, I got it." Lao Zhao interrupted his lover in a hurry, and Tang Shiyi and Sui Siying knew what was going on, and stood up quickly.

"Then let's go back first, teacher." Sui Siying said.

"I'll see you again when I have time," Tang Shixi added.

"Okay, everything will be fine!" Old Zhao ordered.

"Let me take you down, he is inconvenient to move."

"No, no, we're leaving now, no need to send it off."

After several rounds of evasion, the teacher's wife still sent them to the elevator.

Tang Shixi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Old Zhao...what's wrong with him?"

The teacher's wife looked at Tang Shiyi and sighed, "Stomach cancer."

Sui Siying froze for a moment, unable to believe it.

The air freezes.

"It was found out early, and part of the stomach was removed..." the teacher's wife said, her eyes gradually dimmed.

Tang Shiyi put his hands on his teacher's wife's shoulders, he didn't know what to comfort...he knew how Lao Zhao's famous model worker could leave the class like this, and anyone with the word "cancer" in his eyes symbolized despair and death....

"Then now..." Tang Shixi asked in a low voice.

"I'm planning a review today, if the cancer cells still exist..."

"No, everyone will get better." Tang Shiyi said firmly, saying that good people will be rewarded...

The teacher's wife sighed and patted Tang Shiyi's hand.

The elevator opened, Tang Shiyi and Sui Siying walked in, looked at the haggard face of the teacher's wife, forced a smile to say goodbye.

Except for the hospital, Tang Shiyi felt that the air was much thinner and he couldn't breathe.

"Why are you going?" Tang Shixi asked.

"Library, self-study." Sui Siying pushed her glasses.

"I'll go with you and help me pick out rolls of paper, English and Chinese." Tang Shiyi pinched his waist and looked at the sky.It seems that there are some burdens suddenly on his shoulders, which tends to move him towards a better self.
