Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

As Dazhu wrote the last word, everyone cheered and applauded, marking the successful completion of today's homework copy!

Ji Shumiao glanced at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. "Let's go. It's getting late. We have to go home."

I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow, it hurts!

Li wanted to persuade him to stay: "Have some midnight snack before going back."

Ji Shumiao glanced at the few plates of snacks that they had cleared out, then turned to look at her: "I really can't eat any more, and it's too late today."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Li Xiang lowered his eyes, "You won't blame me, right?"

Ji Shumiao hooked her neck and said, "Why do I blame you? I blame you for not paying for the sausages? You'll treat me to tomorrow's sausages!"

After the daily morning exercises or physical education class, going to the supermarket in the corner of the school to eat grilled sausages has become a regular activity for them, and everyone takes turns to treat each other every time.

Li Xiang once said, "My family doesn't give me money," and Ji Shumiao thought that she was a poor little girl whose family was very strict with her, so he never asked her to pay.

Li Xiang was embarrassed: "But I really don't have any money..."

"Keep pretending!" Ji Shumiao was angry.

"They only gave me my bank card, and they knew everything I bought."

Ji Shumiao touched her face distressedly: "Poor little girl~"

Everyone packed up and left. Li Xiang watched their car drive out of the yard, turned around and looked at the house that had become quiet again. In his heart... he couldn't feel sad this time.

Tomorrow is Monday, and there are less than twelve hours until our next meeting.

Li Xiang turned around and went back to the studio, painting all night long.

We bought a lot of wedding candies at home, including chocolate, nuts and all kinds of flavors. My grandfather was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He didn't even look at the price when buying the wedding candies. He just bought them as long as he heard they were delicious.

The next day, Ji Shumiao brought a lot of wedding candies to share with her classmates, wanting to spread some joy and at the same time show off that she had a younger sister.

Ji Shumiao has always been popular, and everyone except Xiong Qi and a few classmates who got along well with him received wedding candy.

There is a classmate in the class named Yu Qianqian. She is a bit talkative and likes to go against others. Today is no exception. She stuffed candy into her mouth and said to Ji Shumiao, "You are still happy here. Don't you know that hard times have just begun. Your parents will only like their younger sister and not you. You will not have a share of the family property in the future. Do you think you can still be a rich lady?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Shumiao did not refute, but looked at her with a look of pity and regret.

Yu Qianqian felt uneasy when she looked at her, and asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Ji Shumiao: "I am happy because I have one more family member, and I am happy that I have more sibling love from now on. My parents don't only like my sister, they love me enough, even if I have another sister, I still get more love from my father and mother. As for the family property, in our family, housework belongs to everyone, family responsibilities belong to everyone, and the family property naturally belongs to everyone, so why can't we share it? This is a matter of course. If I monopolize the family property and don't give any to my sister, then what's the difference between me and the villain in the melodramatic novel?"

Ji Shumiao looked at her with more pity: "When you knew I had a sister, the first thing you thought of was your parents' partiality and the division of the family property. This only shows that you have received very little love and material things in your family, which makes you feel insecure and unable to accept any changes in life. People don't associate things with irrelevant things. What's wrong? Have you experienced all these? You must be very bitter in your heart, no wonder you say such things."

Ji Shumiao said as he stuffed two more handfuls of candy into her arms: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, all of it, sweet to your mouth and heart."

Yu Qianqian held a handful of candies, opened her lips but couldn't utter a word, then her eyes instantly turned red, and she let go of the candies without any hesitation, and the candies fell to the ground. She broke down and cried with a "wow", ran back to her seat, and lay on the desk crying out of breath.

Ji Shumiao was dumbfounded: "...Prove it, I didn't scold her! Not a single word!"

Xixi sighed and said faintly, "You might as well scold her instead of poking her lungs to pieces."

Ji Shumiao pursed his lips and looked at her eagerly.

Several girls gathered around Yu Qianqian with tissues in their hands to comfort her. Qingqing and Xixi also went there to clean up the mess for her.

Ji Shumiao stretched out her index finger and scratched her nose, with no intention of apologizing - she was not wrong.

The first class bell seemed to be the exclusive background music for Li Xiang's appearance. Li Xiang walked into the classroom with dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Yu Qianqian, who was crying so hard that she was about to convulse, with confusion. He yawned sleepily and asked Ji Shumiao, "What's wrong with her?"

She asked the right person, the one who started it all.

Ji Shumiao looked innocent and kind: "I'm just a little rabbit. I don't know anything."

Li Xiang looked at her suspiciously.

"The teacher is here!" Qiao Zhengxin shouted.

The girls surrounding Yu Qianqian dispersed like birds and animals and returned to their seats.

The person who came in was not Yang Lina, but the class teacher, Ms. Wang Hong.

"Teacher Yang has asked for leave today, so this English class will be swapped with the Chinese class tomorrow morning. Everyone, take out your Chinese textbooks now, and we will continue to study "The Kite."

Yu Qianqian's emotions had stabilized a little at this time, but because of her crying just now, she kept sobbing and couldn't stop.

Teacher Wang Hong sighed slightly and handed her her thermos cup: "Drink some."

"Thank you...thank you teacher." Yu Qianqian thanked softly while holding the thermos cup.

"What happened? Who bullied you?" Teacher Wang Hong asked gently, "Don't be afraid, tell the teacher."

Yu Qianqian subconsciously looked at Ji Shumiao, who quickly clarified: "I didn't! I really didn't!"

Qiao Zhengxin raised his hand and said, "Teacher, this is what happened..."

After listening to Qiao Zhengxin's detailed account of the whole incident, I asked other students and confirmed that what Qiao Zhengxin said was true and not exaggerated.

Yu Qianqian had calmed down at first, but after hearing Qiao Zhengxin recount what happened, she began to feel a little overwhelmed again.

Ji Shumiao was right about everything. She had experienced it all. After she had a younger brother, everyone in the family showed her less and less love. She had to give in to her younger brother in everything. She knew that always contradicting others was annoying, but she had formed a habit. Only in this way could she attract some attention from her family.

Teacher Wang Hong walked back to the podium, but did not start the lecture. Instead, she closed her lecture notes and began to tell a story about a male classmate when she was studying at the Normal University.

This boy was born in the impoverished and arid region of the northwest. The poverty and aridity were so severe that people there only took a bath three times in their lives: at birth, at marriage, and at coffin. Like all backward regions, this place also favored boys over girls. This boy was the youngest child and the only boy in the family, so he was doted on by his family. The only time he was beaten was on the eve of his eldest sister's wedding.

His father carried two buckets of rice and walked a long way to exchange for two buckets of clean water, which he put in the cellar to prepare for his eldest sister to bathe before she got married. The boy saw so much clean water for the first time and ran to the cellar to play secretly. It was summer at that time. He drank a bucket of water and scooped another bucket of water to pour over his head. After a bucket of water was poured, his cloth shoes were still dry, and his whole body was madly absorbing water.

Just because of these two buckets of water, his father beat him for the first time. He had never seen his father so angry. From that time on, he vowed to leave this place.

Wang Hong's voice is soft and gentle, and she tells stories in an engaging and pleasant way, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

"When he stood in front of his classmates and told his story, he had successfully fulfilled his vow."

A student raised his hand and asked: "Teacher, how is your classmate doing now? Is he also a teacher in a school?"

Wang Hong laughed: "After he graduated from university, he went back."

"what……"

The students were greatly disappointed and lamented at the ending of the story.

"But his hometown is no longer poor thanks to his and others' efforts." Wang Hong smiled more tenderly, looking at the students, "You may have your own troubles, but compared with the adversity of this classmate, they are insignificant. He can still struggle, so why can't you?"

Ji Shumiao thought: Here it comes, time for chicken soup and mainstream values.

Teacher Wang Hong changed her tone and said, "American writer Jerome David Salinger wrote in The Catcher in the Rye: Accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed. But I don't agree with this statement. There are so many things in this world that cannot be changed or accepted, and can only be endured. For example... you have to go to school, and I have to go to work."

At this point, everyone laughed at the same time.

"You are only in your early teens, and the people and things you have experienced are less than one-tenth of your life. In the future, you will encounter more people and things that you don't like or that don't suit your heart. Life is not satisfactory eight out of ten times, and it is normal to be dissatisfied. No one is the protagonist of this world, and not everyone can get what they want in the end. No one will completely meet your expectations and satisfy all your emotional needs. Even your closest relatives have different levels of fate."

Hearing this, Li Xiang's eyes flashed.

Teacher Wang Hong continued: "In this life, people are constantly learning and getting along with themselves. It is most important to pay more attention to your inner self, gain strength and energy from within, rather than consuming your energy because of external dissatisfaction."

This is what a people's teacher is, Ji Shumiao sighed in his heart, teaching and educating people, imparting knowledge and resolving doubts.

Li Xiang didn't want to wear a skirt, and after talking to her, Teacher Wang stopped forcing her. Whenever the dean or other school leaders told her that Li Xiang's school uniform was not standard, she only promised to teach her a lesson, but turned around and only told Li Xiang to remember to hide when she saw a leader in the future, and to stand in the middle of the line during the break.

Ji Shumiao didn't expect that Yu Qianqian would come to apologize to him after class.

She wouldn't care about such a small matter. After saying "I'm sorry" and "It's okay", the two of them laughed it off.
