Chapter 36 Wang Xietangqianyan in the old days

Yu Zhouzhou walked back to the door of the class, and the screams and laughter just now subsided.The head teacher's roar from inside the door overwhelmed everything. "I can bear it, right? Eh? You don't even know your last name after giving you a physical exercise class, right?" Yu Zhouzhou was used to this set of rhetoric, she turned around and bypassed the main entrance, went to the back door and opened it to avoid everything that was happening in front of the podium.Just met Shan Jiejie at the door. "Jiejie, what's the matter?" Yu Zhouzhou asked in a low voice.

Shan Jiejie smiled, "Xu Di and his classmates were fighting and fighting when they entered the class just now. They kicked over the bucket and spilled all over Zhan Yanfei." Yu Zhouzhou was puzzled, "Then why were you laughing just now?" "Someone joked that if Zhan Yanfei was taken to the playground and frozen for half an hour, he would be able to freeze into a snowman in no time." "What's so funny about that?" Shan Jiejie gave her a slight push, and whispered, "You are stupid, what shape is a snowman, and what is Zhan Yanfei's figure?"

Suddenly, Yu Zhouzhou looked across the sea of ​​people and looked at the girl who was standing in the middle of the podium crying until she was choked with sobs.The porcelain doll, once short, round and cute like a dumpling, has reached the embarrassing age of initial development. It has neither the slimness and gracefulness of a girl, nor the immaturity and cuteness of a child. The once enviable complexion is still as pure and white as snow, but The whiteness that had been little Snow White was still snowy white—but snowman white. Yu Zhouzhou couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. She admitted that when Shan Jiejie explained that sentence to her, she felt it was very appropriate and wanted to laugh, but when her eyes were glued to the little snowman, suddenly something spread in her heart. A burst of sourness.

It's not that she doesn't know the attitude of the classmates towards Zhan Yanfei.I used to blindly worship her in the first and second grades, and I supported her as a second little teacher. After class, there was always a group of people around her to listen to her tell the stories that happened in the TV station recording, as well as the comedians and celebrities in the province. In private...as long as someone argues with Zhan Yanfei, no matter what happened, Zhan Yanfei must be right, just like Teacher Yu can never be wrong. But I don’t know when it started. Some people began to point to the interview about Zhan Yanfei when they read the newly released Provincial Journal of Primary and Secondary School Students. She has never relaxed in her study, once she almost didn't attend a full day of class for a semester, but she still got the first place in the class in the final exam." Haha laughed the whole class, and then everyone whispered together—— ——Children in grades four and five were making pink bubbles that belonged to puberty and Sailor Moon, while impatiently pushing to the statue that they had erected by themselves.

Yu Zhouzhou couldn't remember when the statue of Little Swallow fell into pieces all over the ground. Maybe it was the first time the teacher criticized her for an incorrectly formatted assignment? Maybe it was her poem recitation performance in the Taiwan Celebration Gala that was cut out in the first province of Taiwan? Perhaps when "Little Red Riding Hood" launched a new "Little Swallow"? No child is ever young and cute. However, there will always be young and cute children. Childhood can be exploited. As for what happened later, no one cared.Teacher Yu didn't defend Zhan Yanfei as fiercely as before - Zhan Yanfei was not a child with a strong background in the family, and her background was always only her own.

The scary thing is, she has grown up. Little swallows will not naturally become big swallows when they grow up. "Call your parents and ask them to pick you up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold. And you guys, what's the trouble? Don't you want to work out in the future? Clean it up for me!" That's how the matter ended.It's never been this easy and simple before. Yu Zhouzhou's heart suddenly tightened.She couldn't describe this feeling, the slightly gloating expressions of the students in the class, the understatement of the class teacher, and the crying and weak Zhan Yanfei, everything was telling her, as if something had changed.

She was still so young that Yu Zhouzhou didn't realize until a long time later that this feeling is called the sorrow of the rabbit dead and the fox. People's hearts are broken, and it's hard to lead the team—how could she not know that the students' attitude towards these class cadres is still respectful, just because the prestige is still there.What's more, since Teacher Yu announced the reform of the school last week and the re-election of mid-term class cadres to implement the election voting system, the mantra of male students like Xu Di has become, "Be honest, be careful that we don't give You vote!"  …

However, Yu Zhouzhou's worries are not just about the number of votes in the election.Her keen intuition vaguely told her that there was a so-called certificate of qualifications that had expired; there was a so-called glorious era that was over. At this time, Yu Zhouzhou hadn't grown up enough to see the height of all this clearly.She could only stand there and look up, waiting for the tide of time to overwhelm her. -------------------------------------------------- ---------- On Sunday morning, Yu Zhouzhou was the first to arrive at the rehearsal venue. He put his hands on the radiator to keep warm, and at the same time stomped his feet to relieve his frozen toes.

"Zhou Zhou came so early." Yu Zhouzhou turned around, just in time to see Teacher Gu walking towards the rehearsal field with the door of the office closed.His voice has a strange sense of vicissitudes in the rehearsal field with excellent echo effects. She has not seen Teacher Gu for two months.Teacher Gu, who was the general director of the Children's Palace, retired three years ago, but was hired back to continue to serve as the director and consultant of the student orchestra.Yu Zhouzhou felt as if a magical mirror had been erected in front of her. She grew up day by day, but Teacher Gu in the mirror was getting old and rickety day by day.There were a few occasions when his forgetfulness caused performance accidents. Although no one dared to blame him, other teachers and troupe members had been discussing in private that such an old guy still came to the orchestra every day to make a fuss ?

It seemed that their talk had worked a magical curse.Since last winter, Mr. Gu's health has been getting worse and worse, and he has resigned from his position as a consultant, but he still insists on visiting the orchestra every week.This cycle slowly dragged on from one week to two weeks, three weeks, one month, two months... "Teacher Gu." Yu Zhouzhou stood up respectfully. Teacher Gu is still very serious, and sometimes when he hears Yu Zhouzhou's nonsense, there will be a slight smile on the right corner of his mouth that seems to be ridiculed but actually appreciated. However, now Yu Zhouzhou will never feel guilty when he sees him again. Fear.

Teacher Gu is a good person. Yu Zhouzhou has gradually grown up, and has learned to observe others in various ways, evaluate or ponder their behavior and qualities, but when facing Teacher Gu, Yu Zhouzhou will always choose the simplest and most direct sentence. Teacher Gu is a good person.He changed the trajectory of Yu Zhouzhou's life. Four years ago, he went to school to find Yu Zhouzhou, took her to participate in a report performance, and taught her how to stand on the stage. Yu Zhouzhou, who was a little stiff and contrived at first, became more relaxed and comfortable under his guidance.When she was just starting out, she would subconsciously imitate Little Swallow's performance in class meetings and on the stage of the school art festival, but when that innocent and lovely tone came out of her mouth, Teacher Gu would always laugh hard. "Close your eyes and imagine that you are already a big star, no matter how you act, the audience below will foolishly think that is your personal style, you are the best. Imagine beautiful lights all around, everyone The audience is cheering for you. Close your eyes and repeat your lines again." Teacher Gu said patiently. Yu Zhouzhou was stunned, "Like Britney?" "Xiao Tiantian?" This time it was Teacher Gu's turn to be dazed, but he quickly smiled, "Okay, you are Xiao Tiantian." Yu Zhouzhou's excitement at that moment was indescribable. For the first time, an adult is willing to be her audience, tell her, well, now you are Britney Spears. However, when Yu Zhouzhou had already made his mark in various evening parties in the province, Teacher Gu rejected the TV station's invitation, as if he didn't want Yu Zhouzhou to develop in the direction of Little Swallow. "Zhou Zhou won't blame Grandpa Gu, will he?" Teacher Gu patted Yu Zhouzhou's head without a trace of a smile on his face. Yu Zhouzhou stuck out his tongue with a smile, "How dare I blame you for your expression?" "Damn girl." Teacher Gu also had a smile on his face.The two stood in the theater where the lights were turned off, only the small orange lights on the edge of the stage were gently on. "I have been working in the Children's Palace since I was young. I have seen many children come here to learn calligraphy, singing, hosting, acting, musical instruments, dancing... and then watch them grow up. Some people go down this road. Some people give up halfway, and some people obviously can't go on but can't turn back. Many roads in the world are very narrow, but everyone feels that they must be the luckiest one. In fact, I have been here for so many years, and I already know... ...Well, it seems a bit serious to say this, but when people go the wrong way when they are young, they don’t realize it until many years later. After realizing it, it takes many years before they are willing to face it squarely, admit their mistakes, and make amends .” Looking down at the ignorant expression of this first-year girl, Teacher Gu stopped the topic, "Zhou Zhou, do you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Zhouzhou, who was in the first grade of primary school, naturally couldn't understand it, but when she thought about it many years later, she suddenly understood Grandpa Gu - Xiaoyou in the cartoon gave up the chance to become Britney forever at the last moment and turned back into It turned out that the innocent and happy little girl.And Grandpa Gu made her the dreamy Sweetie in his heart, but he prevented her from walking on the path of Little Swallow.Therefore, she still has a chance to become a happy Xiaoyou again and grow up safely. But the young Yu Zhouzhou just lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at the old man with clear eyes, and said, "I don't understand, but Grandpa Gu will definitely not let me go wrong." Grandpa Gu laughed loudly, "Why didn't I know that your mouth is so sweet?" Yu Zhouzhou corrected him with a serious face, "I'm serious." Grandpa Gu smiled, looking at the auditorium, wondering what he was thinking.The short Yu Zhouzhou looked up at him, and then at the pitch-black auditorium below, suddenly feeling a little lonely. It is a kind of loneliness that belongs to Grandpa Gu.She stood beside him, so she could feel it. This feeling only resurfaced when she graduated from elementary school. An Ran stands there in the gray teaching building, with his mouth wide open, hesitating the students from one class after another, watching them step into the school gate with the same ignorant and innocent look, and watching them step out with all kinds of different expressions after being polished into various shapes go.It seems to be a monster swallowing youth. But no one knows how lonely and sad this monster who stands alone in the middle of the river of time and watches generation after generation of people being washed away is helpless. "Zhou Zhou, do you want to learn an instrument?" "Musical instruments?" "Learning music is good for the temper. Besides, you don't have to go that way, just learn to play, okay?" "But it's very expensive." Yu Zhouzhou said concisely with a sincere expression. Grandpa Gu touched her head, "It's okay, I'll teach you, your mouth is so sweet, I won't charge tuition." Yu Zhouzhou paid the "tuition fee" almost without hesitation: "Grandpa Gu, I think you are really a good person." "What else?" Grandpa Gu looked at Xiao Douding in front of him with a raised brow and a smile. "And..." Yu Zhouzhou searched for the only good words left in his stomach, and finally he could only say dryly, "Also, you have a good eye." Grandpa Gu knocked her head hard, "Who are you praising?!" It was the first time Yu Zhouzhou touched the beautifully colored body of the cello four years ago.Grandpa Gu told her that someone said that the cello sounds like a strong and kind person humming with his mouth closed. Yu Zhouzhou liked this statement, she smiled and asked, "Who said that?" "Gorky." Yu Zhouzhou was astonished. It turned out that this Gorky could not only say "books are the ladder of human progress". "Zhou Zhou, what are you thinking about?" Yu Zhouzhou recovered from his fugue, only to see Teacher Gu standing beside him, warming his hands on the radiator. "I... I remembered that before, you told me that the sound of the cello was like... Hehe, that's what Gorky said." "Enen, I remember." Teacher Gu, who was getting more and more forgetful, still remembered it. They were silent, and the bright white headlight above their heads was like a giant button - press it, and time will stop. "Zhou Zhou is about to be in sixth grade." "Uh, there's still half a year left." "Do you want to take the ninth grade exam next summer?" "Yes, Mr. Shen said to start preparing now." Teacher Gu had already transferred Yu Zhouzhou, a closed disciple, to a well-known teacher Shen in the Children's Palace two years ago.Yu Zhouzhou's tuition is still much cheaper than others. Mr. Shen is a student of Mr. Gu, so he still treats Yu Zhouzhou very carefully. "Do you want to be admitted to Shanghai Music High School?" "What?" Yu Zhouzhou raised his head. "Do you want to keep going this way?" She once said that Teacher Gu would never lead her astray.However, Yu Zhouzhou still didn't react when he heard this sentence. "No." She almost blurted out without reason. Teacher Gu was not surprised, he smiled slightly, looking at the thick grilles on the window. "You really look like Chen An," he said. "However, let's think about it." Teacher Gu walked back to the office slowly through the rehearsal field with his hands behind his back. Yu Zhouzhou quietly looked at the old man's hunched back, suddenly a kind of panic filled her heart for no reason, as if fate was whispering to her, but she couldn't understand.
