The school! What an attractive place.
Qiu Shi was lying on her fifth aunt's bed, holding a bag of peanuts that her aunt had given her before she left.
She didn't go to school today. What were her classmates talking about? The teacher should be explaining the main idea of the text. She had already sketched it out and made notes. Would the teacher ask her?! The Snow Mountain Flying Fox had already acted out the final battle between Miao Renfeng and Tian Guilong. What shocking views would the male students have? It turned out that there were so many things she didn't know that she needed to figure out…
Qiu Shi struggled to get up from the bed and locked the door. The key to Fifth Aunt's house had always been hidden in the crack in the wall.
The intense pain in her body made Qiu Shi sweat profusely. Even though Fifth Aunt's house was not too far from the school, she could even hear the pleasant sound of the bell ringing for class and the noise of the students scattering after class. When she stepped into the school, the teacher was explaining the text…
Brother Wenjie had already applied for leave from the teacher and did not have a school bag with him. For these reasons, Qiu Shi did not enter the classroom directly. Instead, she hid under the window of the classroom and read the text with her classmates.
"Very good! Next, who can tell us the central idea of this text? "Those who know, please raise your hand..." Mr. Luo said after the students finished reading the text.
"Student Chen Haitao, please answer!”Teacher Luo picked Qiu Shi's deskmate among the students.
" This text is about watching the tide at Qiantang River…" Chen Haitao answered the teacher's question fluently.
Teacher Luo: " Very good. Please sit down! Zeng Hongtong, please tell us the main idea of this text…"
At this moment, Qiu Shi's heart tightened.
" Teacher, Hongtong didn't come to school…" The students were surprised, and Qiu Shi's worried heart relaxed a little.
Teacher Luo walked to the window unhurriedly and poked her head out to " catch " her eavesdropping." Since you're here, why don't you go into the classroom?"”
Qiu Shi's face instantly turned red as she said bashfully,"" Because, Brother Wenjie…I don't want to disturb the teacher in class, and I don't have a schoolbag-"
Teacher Luo hesitated for a few seconds." Tell me the main idea of this text.”
Qiu Shi stood outside the window that only Teacher Luo could see and replied in fluent Mandarin,""Watching the Tide is a famous literary work written by a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty after carefully observing the Qiantang River tide. Through the description of the words, the author conveyed everything that he heard and witnessed before, during, and after the Qiantang River tide. When watching the tide, one would experience the grand occasion, the natural beauty, and the beauty of human feelings intertwined together, which made people feel the influence of beauty. Through the article, the author praised the strange, majestic and spectacular tide, in order to express his sincere feelings of loving the rivers and mountains of his motherland.”
This was Qiu Shi's thoughts on the article, and it was also the central idea that she could understand. The so-called central idea in the article was the "literary spirit" that could make people feel like they were there. This kind of thing would allow the reader to further feel the author's mood at that time.
Qiu Shi saw a satisfied smile on Teacher Luo's face." If you don't have a schoolbag, you can go back to your seat!”
"Teacher Luo…"
She smiled at Qiu Shi again.
"Students, as your form teacher, I will also understand your family situation! However, how much do you know about your classmates? " Zeng Hongtong, everyone knows that she's a student with excellent grades and is liked by the teachers and most of the students…" Just as Qiu Shi was about to step into the classroom, she heard Teacher Luo mention her name.
"You can't imagine what kind of conditions the family she lives in is. Compared to you, no one is as hard and busy as her! But why were her results still so good? This isn't something that can be obtained just because you're jealous or envious…"
When the teacher saw Qiu Shi enter the classroom, she paused for a moment."" You can see the scars on her body, the scars on her hands, and the basket she carries to school every day…" Qiu Shi finally realized that she had so many things that no one else had.
It turned out that she was a lonely existence in this class. She was different from everyone else. Perhaps others did not realize Qiu Shi's feelings, and the teacher did not want her to notice the difference between herself and others. She only said this to let the students cherish the time and opportunity to learn. Qiu Shi's wounds were not only caused by her father, but also by the casual words around her.
Hearing her teacher's words, Qiu Shi's tears fell. That's right! Why? Others could listen to the teacher in the classroom without any taboos, and they could chase and play with each other after class. As for her? But he had to worry about whether the pig at home would be naughty and break out of the pen again, whether there was something that he had not done that made his father angry…whether he could carry a basket full of fodder home at noon.
After class, Ms. Luo noticed the wounds on the back of her hand that were still dripping with yellow water and kept asking.
However, Qiu Shi just kept her head down and did not say a word. Teacher Luo saw that she could not open that little mouth no matter how hard she tried, so she could only use a delaying tactic and ask her to stay in the dormitory for lunch.
"Your father is also my student, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. You're the child who loves to study the most. I want to tell you that no matter what happens, you have to be strong.”Teacher Luo probed Qiu Shi, and also gave her encouragement and comfort with mixed feelings.
Grandfather finally returned home and brought Qiu Shi back from Fifth Aunt's house.
She timidly walked around the main room. Qiu Shi did not dare to look at Xiang in the room, but she could sense from the corner of her eye that his expressionless face was emitting an aura that made her tremble.
"I'm here, don't be afraid!" His grandfather sensed Qiu Shi's fear and comforted her with kind and powerful words. After saying that, he held his granddaughter's hand and stepped into the house through the kitchen door.
Silver wagged his tail vigorously at Qiu Shi, almost throwing his butt off. Qiu Shi had found this puppy three months ago when she was hunting for pigweed in the wild. It was abandoned alone in a ditch. Despite the hot weather, the little fellow was shivering. It was unknown whether it was because of the cold or fear.
Grandpa often said that as long as she did more housework, her father would not hit her. He arranged for his granddaughter to cook. The old man did not know that there was not a single inch of intact skin on his granddaughter's body. Every movement would cause a burst of intense pain. Looking at the golden flame dancing in the stove, it seemed to want to express its long-lost affection for Qiu Shi, or to comfort her pain and touch her wounds. Little did he know that this made Qiu Shi feel even more pain.
Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't know what she had done wrong. Thinking about how her father had told her that she didn't have to go to school anymore when he hit her, thinking about the smiling faces of her classmates and the warmth of her teacher, Qiu Shi's tears rolled down her cheeks. It dripped into the gray trough in front of him and was slowly absorbed…
At that moment, Qiu Shi really wanted to grow up quickly. She kept hearing adults say," Time passed like water, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Therefore, every time she went to bed, she would close her eyes and pray to the moon with her palms together."God, please let me grow into an adult when I open my eyes!”
The next day, the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to run to the wardrobe that her grandmother had left behind and look in the mirror. The result was the same every time. She had not changed at all, nor had she grown taller, nor had she grown up! That morning, Qiu Shi actually cried bitterly because she did not grow up in the blink of an eye.
Because she cried for no reason, she would be beaten for no reason…
It was another terrible day." When will I grow up?! Will I be devastated to death by this kind of life?!”Qiu Shi had no choice but to endure the 'family discipline' that came at an unknown time every day. The severity of the punishment varied, and the severity of the punishment was unavoidable. The number of times was uncertain, and the reason was unknown.
She often dreamed that she had grown up in an instant, holding her grandmother and walking on the gorgeous city streets together, wearing beautiful new clothes...
However, she would eventually wake up from her dream. Grandma could no longer hold her hand. Qiu Shi came to Grandma's grave and knelt on the ground quietly. Why did good people always die so early? Her father always said that she was a scourge that would last for a thousand years. Then what was he? Every day, he would whip and beat his daughter, viciously curse and curse her. He even learned witchcraft and wrote Qiu Shi's name and birth characters on it, nailing it under her bed. Qiu Shi found it when she was cleaning.
Perhaps the curse had worked, but the wounds on his body had unknowingly started to become inflamed and pus flowed out. It emitted a foul stench. Because her grandmother had passed away and her mother was not by her side. Her clothes were getting worse and worse. Her classmates talked about her pungent smell and scolded her for being as dirty as a toilet. They even said that as long as they were close to her, they would smell the pungent and disgusting smell like rotten meat. They even told the teacher not to sit near Qiu Shi.
