No.70 days

Returning to his alma mater as a teacher, Shao Wu's biggest feeling is: the children nowadays are too miserable.

The get out of class time for evening self-study has been extended to [-]:[-], and every Saturday has become a fixed time for making up classes.This month, Shao Wu temporarily replaced the geography class of the liberal arts class in the third year of high school. I saw small self-motivation notes on each child's desk. I saw a photo of Weiming Lake in Peking University on the Internet, and the photo was carefully covered with strips of transparent glue, like a slender and fragile dream.

A note was pasted on Longlong's desk, just like other students.The note said: Yang Mei, wait for me!

So when Shao Wu sat on the podium and looked at the dark heads under the stage during the evening self-study, he felt a little uncomfortable.Sister Shan said that the No. [-] Middle School has been going downhill in the past few years. It is no wonder that the teachers are not paying attention. It is really that the quality of the students is not as good as before.After the senior high school entrance examination, the best students go to Chongqing No. [-] Middle School. Those who are slightly worse can also enter the key high schools in Chongqing. If they are even worse, parents still have to find a way to send their children out, or they can find a relationship and go to Chongqing. In high school, they simply spend money to study in private schools, and some parents even send their children to Mianyang Middle School to study, and then come back for the college entrance examination.As a result, the quality of students in local high schools in Yongchuan is getting worse and worse, and the results of the students in the college entrance examination are of course not as good as before.

"It seems to have started from your class," Sister Shan said, "Do you remember your old class, he led that class before, and several Qingbei re-established diplomatic relations. In your class, there are only you, Wang Congning, Han Huiyuan—— —” She slammed on the brakes, stopped talking, and her expression became awkward.

Shao Wu knew in his heart that including Han Huiyuan who was a repeat student, there were only three people in his class who got high marks in the exam—that is, the kind of very high marks.That year Wang Congning went to Fudan, and Han Huiyuan also went to Fudan after a year of re-study, but he quietly studied major.

Shaowu Chongshan smiled, with a very relaxed expression: "Then what happened later? How was the class led by Teacher Cui?"

"Then it's really not as good as one class. Otherwise, why would Mr. Cui leave? He said it's meaningless to stay here," Sister Shan sighed, "Like now, let's look at last year's results. My class Only less than half of the students can get into the first line, Tsinghua University and Peking University don’t even think about it, anyone who can be admitted to Zhejiang University and Nanjing University is a high incense.”

So Shao Wu felt a little uncomfortable looking at the students who were immersed in their studies.Less than half of the students can go to the first line, Tsinghua University and Peking University don't even think about it.What does this mean?It means that most of the students in this classroom will not be admitted to their ideal university in the end. It means that the girl with the picture of Weiming Lake pasted on the desk is very likely not to be able to go to Weiming Lake.

Shao Wu even tried to comfort himself, thinking that when he was in high school, he didn’t really understand the real meaning of working hard to get into college. It was just that everyone else was working hard, so he followed suit.He even hoped that these students would be a little more blind. It would be best, it would be best to just choose an ideal university for themselves without thinking, and then write it on the table casually. If this is the case, the moment they find out their college entrance examination results , maybe not so disappointed.

Shao Wu thought again, he was really judging others by himself, maybe he was the only one who was truly blind.Changing his choice, giving up his postgraduate insurance, and giving up his postgraduate study are not blaming Yang Shuyi, but just—how much did he lose unconsciously by doing these things?Perhaps only when the time span is large enough, and looking back, he can get the answer to this question, but it is probably too late by then?

Entering October, Yongchuan still often rains like summer, but after a few rains, the temperature drops suddenly.Shao Wu changed into a newly bought sweater, khaki with a shirt collar, and was praised several times by the girls in the class, teacher, you are so handsome!Do you have a girlfriend?

The little girl now.

He and Zhu Jingjing bought this sweater together last weekend.Zhu Jingjing, a physical education teacher, doesn't have to work overtime, but he still stays in the dormitory on weekends, and he is free when he is free.It has been more than four months since he graduated in June. Shao Wu has been living in the dormitory assigned by the school and has never returned home.On the day he and Zhu Jingjing met their parents in the mall when they bought the sweater, they didn't expect such a coincidence. The mother was holding a paper bag from Hailan House. When she saw Shao Wu, she was stunned first, and then she looked at Zhu Jingjing.

Shao Wu was also stunned, Zhu Jingjing cleverly took Shao Wu's hand and walked forward: "Uncle and aunt, are you going shopping too?" Her voice was very sweet.

"Ah, yes, we..." Mom looked embarrassed, "Just go shopping."

Zhu Jingjing smiled and said, "Shao Wu and I are the same, isn't it cooling down, come and buy him a sweater."

Dad stood by and didn't say a word, and my mother responded stiffly: "Yeah, the temperature has dropped..."

It wasn't until this moment that Shao Wu finally came to his senses, and called out in a low voice, "Dad, Mom."

His parents only found out about his return to Yongchuan as a teacher when he graduated, and they were furious again. His father told him to get out, so he had to get out and live in the school dormitory.

When Shao Wu called out, Dad turned his face away, with a stiff expression; Mom looked a little unbearable, her lips moved, and she said softly, "Are you tired from work?"

Shao Wu's heart seemed to be twisted, he said: "It's good, I'm not tired."

The family of three stopped talking again, and the atmosphere in the crowded shopping mall was extremely awkward.Zhu Jingjing pinched Shao Wu's fingers secretly. Shao Wu knew that she was hinting at him to say something, but Shao Wu really didn't know what to say.His parents were angry, and he was ashamed, so he could only accept their anger honestly.

"Uncle, Auntie, let's go there first," Zhu Jingjing said brightly, "I bought a movie ticket, the show is about to begin."

"Oh, good... then you guys go quickly."

It wasn't until she walked out of the shopping mall that Zhu Jingjing let go of Shao Wu's hand and flicked her wrist. Bai Shaowu glanced at her and said, "Can you speak sweeter! I've softened my heart since I haven't seen your mother!"

Shao Wu said awkwardly: "I'm too nervous...Thank you, Jingjing."

Zhu Jingjing shook her head and said nonchalantly, "Then treat me to an ice cream."

Shao Wu invited Zhu Jingjing to eat ice cream, and then they went home one by one, and the other returned to the dormitory.On the way back to the dormitory, Shao Wu received a text message from his mother: Are you playing with your high school classmate?

Shao Wu hesitated for a few minutes before replying: Yes, her name is Zhu Jingjing. You should have met her during the parent-teacher meeting before.

Mom replied: I have a little impression, this girl looks good, just play well with friends, be serious, don't be as self-willed as you are doing other things.

capricious.Yes, he is capricious.

Shao Wu: OK, I see, Mom.

Mom didn't send any more text messages.

There is a meeting at the moment, all the teachers of the liberal arts class in the third year of high school are here, and sister Shan is of course also there. The team leaders of each subject introduce the teaching situation during this period to sister Shan.It was the turn of a history teacher to speak. He was old, spoke slowly, and babbled endlessly.Shao Wu sat in the corner and was distracted, thinking that now that his parents knew that he and Zhu Jingjing were "in a relationship", maybe they would be a little happier?But this method is not a long-term solution. Like Sister Shan said, in a small place like Yongchuan, it is difficult for a girl to find a high-quality boyfriend after the age of 30. Shao Wu is very afraid that he will delay Zhu Jingjing.

"Okay, I probably understand the situation. The history side is still very stable, and it's still mathematics. Hey, their mathematics is too weak."

"Yeah, the girl in our class was still crying with me yesterday, saying that she also used the sea of ​​question tactics, and she was doing math homework every night in self-study, but she just couldn't learn it. What do you think..."

"Mr. Kong, this is still a question of learning methods. If you ask me, the sea of ​​questions tactics really won't work..."

The teachers chatted and discussed, until the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Sister Shan announced the end of the meeting.

"Xiao Shao," she said, "wait for me."

"what?"

"Guo Yulong, something happened recently," Sister Shan came over, frowning slightly, "Didn't you sign a leave note for her that day?"

"Yes."

"I went to ask the teacher in her studio - I also know the teacher - she said that Guo Yulong didn't go to paint that day!"

Shao Wu: "What? But she told me to go to the studio." It was a Saturday, and sister Shan was not at school, so Longlong came to Shao Wu to sign a leave note. She said that the studio invited a teacher from outside to guide them in painting.

"I'm lying to you, little girl, I suspect she's talking about friends."

"Now?" Now that she is in her third year of high school, she has time to talk about friends?

"I've been observing her all this time, she's not in the right state," Sister Shan lowered her voice, "I often lose my mind in class."

"That……"

"That's what I think, you go to chat with her, set the routine - don't you know each other very well?"

"Oh... that's fine," Shao Wu had no choice but to agree, "I just happen to have evening study tonight."

"Hey, yes, be more gentle, they are under a lot of pressure and are relatively fragile now." Sister Shan urged.

"it is good."

So 2 minutes before the evening self-study class, Shao Wu called Longlong to the office.

In fact, he was a little angry. Firstly, Longlong lied to him, and secondly, if it was true that Longlong was talking about friends as sister Shan guessed...then she was too ignorant.Her brother even gave up his postgraduate education for her to study art, and she is here to fall in love?It's time to race against time again in the third year of high school.

But when he was angry, Shao Wu still couldn't get angry, and remembering Sister Shan's advice, after much deliberation, he had to pass a bottle of Nutrition Express to Longlong first, and asked her, "How is your mother-in-law?"

Longlong propped her chin: "It's pretty good, I went to the park with my aunt yesterday."

"Oh, that's good. If you need help with anything at home, you can call me..." Shao Wu paused, then asked again, "What about your brother, how is your brother?"

Well, he has to admit that he is selfish.Now that we are chatting, we can naturally talk about Yang Shuyi. How is Yang Shuyi doing in Chengdu?He usually couldn't contact Yang Shuyi, the only thing he could know was the weather forecast of his city.

As for why he didn't get in touch, it's easy to understand, because Yang Shuyi knew what he was thinking, so he could no longer contact him openly, even if it was just to chat with him like an old friend.Once he is judged "with impure motives", then everything he does is just his actions with "impure motives".

He didn't want Yang Shuyi to be troubled, or disgusted.

"Hey, little brother Shao," Longlong unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of the drink, "Why don't you ask my brother yourself?"

Shao Wu was choked by her words.

"...Isn't this busy? Your brother is busy, and I'm busy too. How can I make phone calls every day when I'm free?" Shao Wu laughed guiltily, "Long-distance calls are still expensive."

Fortunately, Longlong didn't notice anything unusual, but nodded: "My brother is very busy, and he often travels on business."

"Oh, is it..." Do you travel a lot?That was really hard work.

Longlong took another sip of her drink, smiled casually and said, "I remembered, that day my brother also asked me how Shao Wu is doing...you two are so interesting."
