32. The night of the eighth day
Finally, they returned to school.
Winter vacation was spent in lovesickness. When she was free, she was Wu Aiting's shadow, her smile, her words, her movements, and her walking posture. I thought, that night, next to the toilet, why didn't I take the opportunity to embrace her? This was really an opportunity that could not be missed. The chances of that happening again would be zero. Therefore, I beat my head with all my might. However, when I thought about how she didn't like to collect things and how the scene on the bed was similar to mine, I hesitated. Also, she was a little fat. Wasn't she on a diet? Forget it, it's not certain if others will take a fancy to you.
It was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. There were not many people who actually came. Perhaps everyone knew that the ninth day of the Lunar New Year was the official start of work. I looked at the dormitory. I was the only one there. It was empty.
In the evening, I heard the door open and knew that the principal had returned. I pretended to go to the office and passed by the principal's door. The principal happened to come out. I called her and she asked me,
"Little Zhang, have you had dinner yet?"
"No, I haven't."
"Then come to my place for dinner."
I hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
I opened the office and pretended to rummage through the books for a long time. I looked at the results of the previous semester for a while and thought about what I should do next semester. I couldn't always be worse than Teacher Zhou, even if I was a little better. According to Liu Shengbing's experience, the lesson was lively and the students followed him. However, I don't have that much appeal. I can't speak vividly, and my language isn't strong enough to move the students. Then, what are my advantages? I repeatedly searched for my own advantages. I said that I was approachable and not as good as Teacher Zhou. I'm not as good as Teacher Zhou when it comes to in-depth and meticulous work with students. In terms of class experience, I'm still not as good as Teacher Zhou…I've denied almost all aspects of myself.
I stood up and looked through the things on Teacher Zhou's desk. Although I learned everything from Teacher Zhou, I had not really looked through her lesson plan in detail. I opened it curiously. I had all the cliché steps. At the end, Teacher Zhou had written many changes in red pen. In the blank space beside it, it was densely packed…I understood a little. I want to summarize the lessons of each lesson, which students understood and which students did not understand…Oh right, why don't I interview the students? Who else did not understand? The questions that he didn't understand were the real questions…
"Brother Su Ning, my aunt is calling you for dinner!”
I looked up and saw Yu Lian standing at the door looking at me. I was still flipping through Teacher Zhou's lesson book. She walked in, her fair face full of redness, and her eyes were still so bright. I suddenly felt that I was a little despicable. How could I look through other people's things without Teacher Zhou's permission? I turned around from Teacher Zhou and looked at Amelia.
"Why are you still calling her aunt? Call Mommy!"
Amelia raised her hand and gestured for me to speak softly. She walked to my side and said in a low voice,
"She even forced me to call him Daddy. Tell me, can I call him Daddy? It's enough for me to call her mom. If I have to call her son-in-law dad again, I'll die!”
This time it was my turn. I widened my eyes and gestured for her to lower her voice.
"Amelia, I told you to call someone for a long time!”
"Coming! Let's go, my aunt is calling for help."
I followed Yu Lian. Her two braids jumped around her neck, making Yu Lian look particularly lively. I suddenly found that Yu Lian was so beautiful and moving that my heart could not help but shake. However, I immediately stopped my dark desires from expanding.
As soon as I entered, I saw that the table was already set. Zhan Qiuxiang pointed at Yu Lian's son-in-law and said,
"Little Zhang, this is Secretary Guo Junren from our Renhe Administrative District. Isn't that right, Old Guo? This is my good friend Tao Fengzhen's nephew, Zhang Su Ning.”
I greeted Secretary Guo. He had already set up his chopsticks and the wine glass was filled. I sat down and he picked up the glass and said,
"Where did you go during the New Year?”
I suddenly realized that I was too rude. I went to someone else's house for a New Year's dinner and didn't buy any gifts. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't speak. Secretary Guo changed his words and said,
"Your surname is Zhang, but why is your aunt surnamed Tao?”
It was Principal Zhan who helped me out.
"Little Zhang's father died early, and then he had a step-father. Your little master at Shayang Farm, your aunt in Jiangbei, they all belonged to this step-father, am I right?”
I nodded. It seemed that Zhan Qiuxiang and my aunt were really good friends. Otherwise, they wouldn't know so much. Even when I grew up and graduated from high school, I only heard a little about it. My parents had never mentioned this.
"Come, Little Zhang, don't stand on ceremony!"
Under their politeness, I managed to finish the unpalatable dinner. I put down my chopsticks and ran back to my dormitory like a fugitive, blaming myself for being impolite. Just as I took out my diary and was about to write down some recent events, Amelia came in. She was still sitting on the edge of my bed and took the notebook from my hand.
"You write in your diary every day? How annoying!"
She flipped through it a few times and placed it on the table.
"Are you full?"
I said,
"I went to the principal's house for dinner during the new year. I didn't mention anything before I went in. Your son-in-law will definitely say that I'm rude.”
"So what? We didn't make any special dishes for you. It's all cured fish and bacon brought back from the village. Besides, didn't you give us such a big fish that day? What else do I need you to give me? I don't think my aunt and son-in-law are that kind of people.”
I lowered my voice to tease her.
"Does your son-in-law like you? Yes, you should call him daddy. Have you ever called him daddy?”
Amelia grabbed my arm and shook it.
"I can't shout it out!"
I said,
"Even if you can't shout it out, you have to! Since his aunt had become his mother, wouldn't his son-in-law have to call him father too?”
She was about to say something when Principal Zhan's voice came through the window crack.
"Amelia, this damn girl, I don't know where she went when I looked!”
She made a face at me and said,
"I can't even leave for a while! I'm going over?"
After Amelia left, I opened my notebook and began to record what I had seen, heard, and thought over the past few days. When I was almost done writing, I carried a bucket to the canteen to get hot water. Unexpectedly, the canteen had not opened fire yet. The fire was cold and smoke was rising. I had no choice but to return. I stood by the Yangma River and looked at the river under the night sky, shivering in the slight north wind. Occasionally, I could hear a dog barking in the distance and the sound of firecrackers coming from all directions, which reminded me of the scene of " the sound of chickens and dogs can be heard " that Laozi had mentioned.
When I returned to the dormitory, Amelia came again. She was sitting on the chair and leaning on the table to look at something. I walked over quietly and patted her shoulder. She jumped up and patted her chest.
"You scared me! Why didn't I sense you coming in at all?”
"You didn't go to lure your brother, but you came to me. Amelia, this damn girl!"
She turned her head and wanted to hit me. I quickly dodged and said,
"Amelia! You read my diary without my permission. That's impolite!”
"You still dare to say that! You didn't ask for my permission to write me in your diary. You're rude!”
We were even. This time, I sat on the edge of the bed while she sat on the chair. The smile on her face disappeared and she said,
"If only I could be as knowledgeable as you.”
I said,
"What knowledge do I have? If you want to learn, read more books. By the way, didn't you say that something happened when you were in junior high school? Can you tell me?"
She looked at me with a quiet expression. Her mischievous look from before was gone.
"I've never told anyone about it. If I do, you must not tell my aunt about it, okay? In the second year of junior high school, Teacher Liu from my class often asked me to stay for two to three hours, saying that he wanted to help me make up for my mistakes. Indeed, I'm not good at math, and he's so enthusiastic. How can I reject him? Every time I did the homework he gave me, he would watch me from behind. At first, I didn't think much of it, but later I realized that he always put his face on my hair, and sometimes he put his face next to my face. I felt that it was not good. In the future, I would find an excuse to say that I had something to do at home. Every time he asked me to stay for tuition, I would run away. I remember that afternoon, he called me to his dormitory. I remembered that there was a teacher living with him, so I went without worry. However, when I went, I found that he was the only one in the dormitory, so I panicked. He closed the door and tied the bolt. I panicked even more. I didn't think of pushing the door open and running. He hugged me and pressed me onto the bed. I was anxious and pushed him away. If you continue like this, I'll shout for help! He still rushed over, so I raised my voice and shouted, Someone came. Before I could shout, he covered my mouth. I was even more anxious and slapped him. He might have been stunned by me and stood there motionless. I took the opportunity to open the door and run away. From then on, I couldn't study in peace. As long as he entered the classroom, I would panic and I couldn't do anything. Later, I felt that I couldn't study well, so I lied to my parents and said that I couldn't study well, so I went home to work. What else do you want to hear?"
This was a heavy story. I wanted to joke with her just now, but now I couldn't. I fell into deep thought. Although Amelia was laughing and laughing, she actually had such a heavy burden in her heart, so I said,
"Amelia, you have to listen to your aunt. Don't run around. Think about it, your aunt took you from your parents because she has to be responsible for you. If something happens, how will she explain it to your parents?”
Amelia was stunned for a moment and said,
"I'm running around? You also say that about me? I came here to talk to you. I don't know anyone here, and I'm only familiar with you. How dare you say this to me!”
I was also stunned.
"What if I'm a bad person? What will you do if I bully you?"
She suddenly looked fearless.
"Are you such a person? Besides, even if you bully me, I'm willing!”
When she said this, both of us were shocked. I widened my eyes and looked at her. She covered her mouth and looked at me, her face suddenly turning red. Silence, deathly silence. I kept looking at her. My gaze was like a nail being attracted by a magnet. I couldn't get rid of it no matter what. As for her, she lowered her eyes and flipped through my diary. This awkward situation lasted for a long time. Fortunately, the principal's voice came again.
"Amelia, Amelia, this damned woman! It had only been a while, and he had already run off to God knows where!”
Amelia stood up and looked at me.
"I'm going over."
She walked to the door and I felt like I had something to say.
"Amelia-"
She turned around and said,
"What?"
I couldn't say anything.
"Listen to your aunt?"
She left. That bright gaze, that jade-like face, that lips that spoke with a certain degree, and those two braids…They were still vivid in his mind. Yes, they were still vivid in his mind.
At night, I didn't wash my feet. I just crawled into bed and thought about what was on my mind, especially what Amelia had blurted out. I immediately stopped my thoughts. Amelia was so young and had yet to become an adult. It was wrong to think like that…
Therefore, I tried my best to think of Wu Aiting, Li Jiagui, and Qian Sheng from Jianli. However, those eyes were deep, deep, and terrifying. Yes, only Wu Aiting's eyes were surprisingly bold and never avoided his own eyes. However, perhaps she would back down at the critical moment…
Just like that, he fell asleep while hesitating about the women.
