19. children
At noon, Qin Changsheng moved to the opposite side of our dormitory. He Peigen helped move things, Lu Chuanjie came out to help, and Li Zhuhong held a washbasin and said,"
"The two of you are officially separated.”
Everyone laughed. I still couldn't forget what happened that day. After moving the things, Qin Chang Sheng asked while packing his luggage,
"How did you take out that spittoon?”
Qin Chang Sheng stopped what he was doing and said,
"I'm not too sure either. Anyway, the doctor told me to lie on the bed and relax. My mood has indeed calmed down. I believe the doctor will definitely have a way. The doctor said,'I'll turn the spittoon. Don't move.'The spittoon came out. This was all thanks to Zhang Moxiong. His classmate called the doctor.”
Zhang Moxiong returned and continued Qin Chang Sheng's words,
"How are you going to thank me? Treat me to a drink?"
Wu Aiting stood at the door and said,
"Speak of the devil!"
Zhang Moxiong immediately replied,
"Of course. If anyone says anything bad about me, I'll hear it immediately.”
Qin Chang Sheng was very honest and said,"
"Zhang Moxiong, I'll treat you to a drink tonight.”
Zhang Moxiong waved his hand.
"If you treat me to such a thing, I won't be able to finish my wine! Don't take it seriously."
When I returned to the dormitory and sat down at the table, Principal Zhan's niece sat on my bed and took my diary. As she flipped through it, she said,
"Brother Su Ning, don't you think it's funny? It's been so many days, and she's been forcing me to call her mom every day. I have my own mom. She's my aunt. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
I looked into her eyes, which were as innocent as a child's. I said,
"If you're with your parents and don't come to her house, you should call her aunt. However, if your parents gave you to your aunt as their daughter and you want to live with her in the future, then you should call her mom. I have an uncle who doesn't have any children of his own. He took his younger brother's daughter as a girl. If I follow your words, I can only call him uncle and not father.”
I looked at her and she stared at me. She seemed to be convinced by me. I asked her,
"What's your name? It's been so long. You call me 'Brother Su Ning'. How should I call you?”
Disappointment appeared in her eyes as she said,
"Have you forgotten? That year, we were all children at Zhanqiao Primary School. You were the oldest. Your aunt came to see you and gave you five yuan. You used that money to buy candy for us every day. The first one was given to me.”
I was about fourteen years old at Zhanqiao Primary School. There were so many children, how could I remember? Looking at her again, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old now. Subtracting five years, she was ten years old. People said that women changed eighteen times when they grew up. Who knew what she would be like at that time!
I was a little confused and saw an even more disappointed look in her eyes. Just then, Principal Zhan shouted from outside,"
"Amelia, Amelia! Brother is awake!"
She waved her hand at me, indicating that I should keep quiet. She stood up and ran away. Only then did I know that her name was Zhan Yulian. Even so, I still can't remember what she looked like at that time. However, she looked very good now. At least her skin was as smooth as jade. When she smiled, there were slight dimples on both sides. In addition, there was a small mole beside the left dimple, making her look very charming. Her appearance reminded people of the girl in Gui Youguang's article, so pure and lovely. But why did she stop studying?
I opened my diary and wrote down some of my experiences from morning to noon. As I was writing, Amelia came again. She sat by the bed and approached the table. She looked at me seriously and said,
"Brother Su Ning, do you think I should call her mom?”
I nodded, but she looked troubled.
"How can you change your words?"
I said,
"It's just that the first hurdle is difficult. Think about it, now that you're taking care of her child, her child is your brother. You're her daughter, so she'll definitely help you find a job. According to what you said in the past, you would bring him back after a few days. It was so hard! Don't you want to leave the countryside? I think she's the headmaster and can think of a lot of ways to get you a job.”
She thought for a while and said,
"What kind of job can I do well? I barely graduated from junior high school. I didn't like studying, so I could only work in a factory. But which factory would want someone like me?”
I could feel that she should have studied well, but she was influenced by something and gave up in the end. So I asked her,"
"How were your grades in the first and second grades?”
She was a little happy.
" I was still in the top few places in my class in the first year of junior high school. Sometimes I was second, sometimes I was fifth. However, in the second semester of junior high school, my grades plummeted…"
I asked her in a very regretful voice,
"Logically speaking, the results shouldn't have dropped so quickly and so much.”
She looked out of the window thoughtfully and said,"
"Something happened…My brother is awake, I have to go.”
Looking at Amelia's figure as she walked out, I couldn't guess what had happened.
When I was preparing for class in the afternoon, I remembered that I hadn't talked to Qing Ji's students yet, so I decided to talk to Liu Sijia first. When school was over, I asked her to stay. After the students left, I asked her,
"Liu Sijia, you've been here for so long. What do you think is wrong with the class?”
Liu Sijia opened her eyes wide. There seemed to be some hesitation and worry in her eyes. After a moment, she said,
"The class is very good, much better than when we were in Green Lucky.”
I knew there was more to her words, but she didn't want to say it. Since she didn't want to say it, I should change the topic.
"What year were you born?"
She was a little embarrassed and waited for a while before saying,
"I was born in 1966. I'm much older than my classmates. My parents told me to stay at home and guide my brother until I was nine years old.”
At first glance, I felt that she was calmer and more mature than other students. Her words were very measured and she had thought it through before saying them. She wasn't the kind of student who would say whatever she wanted. I looked at her dark red face and there was an indescribable sadness. Perhaps it was a melancholic temperament. Her brows were a little tightly knitted, giving people the feeling that she was frowning. I really didn't know what to ask, so I changed the topic again.
"That Hu Jia, the one who is about the same height as you, how is she?”
Liu Sijia's brows relaxed a little."
"She only knows how to dress up. She has no interest in studying at all!”
It seems that my judgment was wrong. From the looks of it, Hu Jia respected her teacher and was reading and doing homework when she saw her. Why did Liu Sijia say that she had no interest in studying?
"I see that she's quite serious about her studies. She's handed in her homework and memorized all the texts that she should have memorized.”
Liu Sijia didn't expect me to say that. She was surprised for a moment and said,
"My house is not far from hers. We go to school together and go home together. She never reads at home.”
I believe Liu Sijia now. Looking outside, the sky was getting dark. I asked her,
"How far is your house from here?"
"About eight miles."
"So far? Then I'll send you back."
Liu Sijia said that she could go back by herself and that it was fine. I could have talked to her in the afternoon, but I chose to talk to her at night. It's all my fault. Alright, let's do a home visit.
Along the way, I asked and answered almost all of her questions. When it came to her taking care of her younger brother, I talked about my past. I looked for pigs and vegetables to feed the pigs, took care of my younger brother, made a fire to cook, carried water, and touched the vegetable garden. She got excited and asked me,
"Your family is from the countryside? Like me?"
I said,
"I've basically done all the things you said. At that time, I even won first place in planting rice seedlings!”
Of course, I didn't mention the naughty things I did when I was young. I was still a little afraid that the students would laugh at me and make it difficult for me to do my job in the future. When I arrived at her house, I walked in and saw that it was much richer than ours. It was a red brick house. Her house was eating. When she saw me, she insisted that I eat.
"Teacher Zhang, please take a seat."
Her father pulled me to the seat of honor and pressed me down on the chair. I wanted to stand up, but I was pressed down by her father again. I had no choice but to sit down. Her father held the bottle and insisted on sifting the wine for me. I knew that it was no joke to raise a glass. I stood up and tried to refuse.
"I really haven't drunk alcohol."
After a long stalemate, Liu Sijia snatched the cup and said,"
"Dad, if Teacher Zhang doesn't want to drink, then so be it. Why must you force Teacher Zhang?”
Our daughter's words finally ended our stalemate. Her father said to Liu Sijia,"
"Go and scoop some rice for Teacher Zhang. Don't scoop the rice crust too!”
Actually, I like rice crust the most. However, my parents also said the same thing when they asked us to scoop rice for the guests. After a while, Liu Sijia brought the rice over and handed it to me with both hands. It seemed that their family's upbringing was not bad. Her mother even specially made a big egg pancake for me and placed the plate in front of me. Her father kept putting food into my bowl. I felt really embarrassed.
During the banquet, it was all just polite words. This was what I was most afraid of. I couldn't say the truth or ask about the true situation. When I finished eating, they also put away the bowls and chopsticks. I said goodbye and asked Liu Sijia to take me to Hu Jia's house. Hu Jia's parents were very cold. When I came out, Hu Jia followed Liu Sijia to send me to the main road. I said,
"You guys go ahead!"
They didn't leave. I walked a long way. When I looked back, I could vaguely see two figures standing there.
On the way back to school, I thought about Liu Sijia's every move, every smile, every word, and every action. I felt that she could definitely be the class monitor. It was just that her academic results would not be able to keep up. She had seven votes. That day, she had just arrived, and the students in the class did not know. The students from Qingji must have chosen her. She must have a high prestige among them. From Hu Jia's behavior, her parents were cold. Hu Jia sent me off after Liu Sijia whispered to her. It was obvious that she could influence people like Hu Jia. If her results were not good, he would help her improve. Li Zhuhong's foreign language and Wu Aiting's mathematics would not be bad as long as she worked hard and the teachers paid attention to her. Besides, he was older than them, so his comprehension ability should be stronger.
When she returned to the dormitory, she saw that it was already past ten o'clock. She hurriedly took the basin and walked out. Li Zhuhong lay on the bed and put down the book, Raging Inferno King Kong, saying,
"Where are you going to get hot water at this late hour? Just use the water from the thermos bottle. I'll get it for you.”
I was very grateful, but I didn't say it out loud. While washing her feet, Li Zhuhong suddenly said,"
"The principal's niece came to look for you just now and called you 'Brother Su Ning'.”
She came to tell me those words again?
