Chapter 18 Chapter 17 The new principal

one On the weekend, the sky was overcast and the rain was pouring down so hard that one could barely keep his eyes open.On the campus of the First Division, Mao Zedong was shirtless and was flying up and down between the parallel bars. The rain was pouring from his hair and body. He ignored it and let the heavy rain wash over his body.Xiao San and Luo Xuezan hurried back from the outside and went directly to Mao Zedong. Xiao San couldn't wait to say, "Brother Run, the Department of Education sent a new principal named Zhang Qian to our first division. I heard that Ji Mohong recommended him." Luo Xuezan also said, "Think about it, the character recommended by Ji Mohong can Who are the good people?" "You won't know until the good and bad people come, so worry now? Is it too early?" Mao Zedong smiled casually and continued with his parallel bars.

"Then tonight's book club activities are still going on?" Seeing Mao Zedong's smile, Xiao San felt a little relieved.Mao Zedong stopped, "Do it! Why not do it?" "But—" Xiao San was about to say something, but in a blink of an eye, Li Jinxi ran over without raising his hand, splashing mud and water on his gown. "Mr. Li, why are you here to learn how to cultivate yourself in the rain?" Li Jinxi has always been informal, and students like Xiao San like to joke with him the most. Li Jinxi grabbed Mao Zedong, "Uh... uh, Principal Zhang cares about you very much, and asks you not to go out on rainy days in the future, so as not to get sick."

"Principal Zhang?" Mao Zedong took a long time to come back to his senses, "Ms. Li is talking about the new principal. He is here? It seems that he is quite lenient. He has been in charge of me since he first arrived." Runzhi, Principal Zhang is also concerned about you," Li Jinxi said. Seeing Li Jinxi's dilemma, Mao Zedong jumped off the parallel bars, looked up at the closed window of the headmaster's office on the opposite floor, and said with a smile, "This headmaster just came here, so he has to be respectful. You don't have to make things difficult for the teacher, at worst, find a place where Principal Zhang can't see you for self-cultivation in the future."

At the study meeting that night, when Yang Kaihui heard about this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, and beat Mao Zedong's strong back with her fist, "Brother Mao will get sick from the rain? This principal doesn't have eyes?" Si Yong pulled away Hui's hand said: "He is also concerned about Runzhi's body, and it should be out of good intentions." Mao Zedong: "Probably? It's just that the control is too wide. Oh, don't leave him alone, we will mess with us." He stood up and put the first issue of "Youth Magazine" on the table in his hand: "Everyone be quiet. Now, today, we are discussing a new content. "Youth Magazine" published the article - Mr. Chen Duxiu! Chinese people want to get rid of the age of ignorance, ashamed of being a superficial people, so they are rushing to catch up, and they should pay equal attention to science and human rights. Mr. Chen Duxiu's These remarks really got to the point, where is China's problem? It just doesn't emphasize science, it just doesn't talk about..."

"What are you doing?" Mao Zedong's impassioned speech was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door.A middle-aged man wearing a tight Japanese-style clerk uniform appeared at the door, buttoned up meticulously, with a pale and thin face, wearing a pair of slightly old-fashioned gold-rimmed glasses. Mao Zedong put down the magazine in his hand and asked, "Who are you?" "The principal of our school——Zhang Gan!" Everyone was startled, and everyone stood up one after another, only Mao Zedong was still sitting.Cai Hesen explained: "Principal Zhang, it's like this, we are holding a discussion activity in the book club..."

Zhang Qian interrupted him, "Men and women, discuss at midnight? Who initiated it?" Mao Zedong then stood up and said, "I initiated it." Hearing that his throat was still rough, Zhang Gan glanced at him: "Which class do you belong to? What's your name?" "Undergraduate Class Eight, Mao Zedong." Zhang Gan looked at Mao Zedong, apparently still remembering the name: "Disband immediately!" "Why?" Mao Zedong was not convinced. "School is a place for studying, not a place for you to discuss!" Zhang Gan glanced at the girls Si Yong and Jingyu: "Where are you guys from?" Jingyu turned his head and ignored him , or Si Yong took the initiative to answer: "Zhou Nan Girls' Middle School." "The First Normal School is a boys' school, and it is inconvenient for girls from other schools to stay late at night." Zhang Gan pointed to the door, "Several, please respect yourself." Police Yu Her face turned pale with anger, and Kai Hui also looked annoyed, Si Yong quickly pulled them both up, and the girls walked out angrily.

Zhang Qian yelled at the others: "What are you still doing here? Go back to my dormitory!" Everyone had no choice but to disperse.Mao Zedong was so angry that he slapped the magazine on the table and sat down.Zhang Gan caught a glimpse, "Mao Zedong, why don't you leave?" "I live in this dormitory, where should I go?" Mao Zedong packed up the magazines and notebooks on the table, got up angrily and walked out. "Don't you live in this dormitory? Why do you go out again?" "No discussion, I can go to the reading room to read?" "Don't you check what time it is? The reading room has been closed long ago, why are you going?" "I have the key." "Where did you, a student, get the key for the reading room in the school?" "I read late, and Principal Kong took care of me before and gave me special approval." Zhang Gan stretched out his hand: "Hand over the key. .”

Mao Zedong was stunned: "Headmaster Kong gave it to me." "I am Principal Zhang, not Principal Kong! Turn off the lights and go to bed, this is the school's school rules, don't you know? Hand it over!" Mao Zedong reluctantly put the key in Zhang Gan's hand.Zhang Qian took the "Youth Magazine" in his hand again: "This kind of miscellaneous books that have nothing to do with schoolwork, don't read it again in the future! Confiscate it!" After Zhang Gan left, Mao Zedong was stunned for a while, and then punched the wall, full of anger, not knowing where to start.

two In the early morning of the next day, a large number of "Regulations on Supplementary School Regulations of the First Normal School" were posted one after another, covering the entire notice board of the First Normal School.There are rules under the chapter, and there are paragraphs under the paragraphs, and the paragraphs are divided into one, two, and three. The small letters are densely packed, and the signature and big seal of the principal Zhang Qian are finally placed.Many students gathered in front of the bulletin board, and everyone was dumbfounded by the complicated rules and regulations in front of them.

"Students are not allowed to run any non-academic business, and are not allowed to join any non-academic party organizations and education associations. Brother Run, are you talking about our reading club?" Zhou Shizhao read the school regulations with his glasses on. "Don't spread rumors, publish leaflets, or post anonymously, to incite classmates, to try to harass... Even though it's hot and cold, you must wear uniforms, and you must not wear coquettish and gorgeous fashions, and you are not allowed to be naked or barefoot...Brother Run, this is clearly aimed at you Well, you were naked in the rain that day, and he let Teacher Li take care of you." Xiao San also said.

"Control the world, control people's shit and fart!" Mao Zedong didn't bother to look at the following content, dropped a sentence, pushed through the crowd and left. Zhang Kundi continued to read the regulations, "You must not interfere in foreign affairs, disrupt social order, or intentionally break all school rules. You must not suspend classes and strike, and you must not speak at private meetings. What, this clearly means that Principal Kong is anti-Japanese and anti-21. No, no, I have to talk to him!" The more Zhang Kundi read, the more annoyed he became, and with great energy, he rolled up his sleeves and ran to the principal's office to argue, Zhou Shizhao, Xiao San and others followed behind eagerly. "Brother Kun, don't be impulsive!" Seeing that something was wrong, Cai Hesen grabbed Zhang Kundi and came up with a compromise, "Well, let's ask Teacher Li first to see what's going on. " When everyone came to Li Jinxi's office, they found Fang Weixia, Chen Zhangfu and several other teachers were there, with bitter expressions on their faces. Zhou Shizhao's eyes were sharp, and he saw a booklet on Fang Weixia's desk. On the cover was written: "Working Regulations for the Faculty and Staff of the First Normal School".He picked it up casually and was about to open it.Fang Weixia wanted to stop him, but Li Jinxi stopped him, "Let the students take a look." Zhou Shizhao opened the first page of the handbook, and it read—— These regulations consist of 14 general rules, and are divided into 14 categories of detailed rules for various duties, including 11 rules for principals, 58 rules for school supervisors, 21 rules for general affairs, 11 rules for accountants, 13 rules for teachers, 6 rules for clerks, 5 rules for clerks, and librarians. 5, 6 for the supervisor, 7 for the school doctor, 8 for the intern director, 7 for the campus director, 6 for the workshop director, and 5 for the catering director.The specific regulations are as follows: the principal, first, presides over the affairs of the whole school and hires teachers of various positions; second, supervises and leads all the teachers in the school to perform their duties faithfully; third, stipulates all the regulations of the school, and implements the laws and regulations promulgated by the government; Enrollment, dropout, promotion, repetition, graduation, suspension, and rewards and punishments; five, inspecting the school's discipline situation, reviewing textbooks, and verifying students' conduct, academics, and physical performance... Brother Zhang Kun touched his head and exclaimed: "My God, Teacher Fang, you have more rules than us." Fang Weixia said to the students, "We have just obtained this regulation, how about it, you go back to class, let our teacher come forward and have a good talk with Principal Zhang about these things." After persuading the students to leave, Li Jinxi and Fang Weixia came to the principal's office. It was raining heavily outside. Li Jinxi put the dripping umbrella in the corner, and the water flowed on the floor.Zhang Gan glanced at it, picked up the umbrella without saying a word, and carefully moved it outside the door. Li Jinxi couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and looked at this familiar but unfamiliar principal's office. Kong Zhaoshou has a forthright personality and likes to make friends and talk freely.Whether it is a teacher or a student, or even the handyman of the first division, he can get along well.When he was there, the principal's office was often full of people coming and going, and pens, ink, books, and newspapers were all within easy reach, which was a little messy but convenient.In contrast, Zhang Gan is much more restrained and serious, and rarely talks and laughs outside of official business.Even if it is official business, it is often ordered in a few words.After he came, the office was cleaned spotlessly, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, books and newspapers were all sorted and in place.On the desk, Kong Zhaoshou's favorite paperweight engraved with the word "knowing shame" has disappeared, and the side that replaced it has the word "sincerity" engraved on it. When Fang Weixia saw this situation, he changed his mind temporarily. It is better not to cut straight to the point when it comes to the regulations. When he was considering how to word it euphemistically, he only heard Zhang Gan say, "Mr. Notice, please send it to the whole school immediately." Li Jinxi took a look at the notice and was stunned, "Monthly exam? Do you still have to take the exam for every subject?" Li Jinxi became excited and was about to speak when Fang Weixia winked at him. After the two of them left the principal's office together, Fang Weixia said, "Principal Zhang just came here and doesn't know the situation of the first division. There is nothing wrong with getting to the bottom of the students and fulfilling the duties of the head of a school." Li Jinxi was awakened by Fang Weixia's words, "What is the monthly exam? You just take the exam. I dare not say anything else. I have confidence in the students of the First Division. Once the exam results come out, we will put aside the school rules and regulations." After all, Principal Zhang is also engaged in education, so there is no reason to disagree." "What, the monthly exam?" In the student dormitory, Mao Zedong's eyes widened when he heard the news. Luo Xuezan and the others all looked dissatisfied, and said: "It was just announced, starting this month, once a month, every homework will be tested!" Zhou Shizhao said: "Principal Zhang is not enough in the middle and end of the semester. Does he want to kill us?" Yi Lirong said: "No wonder I heard that he was recommended by Ji Mohong. Now I understand that it was because Principal Kong offended that Butcher Tang, and he deliberately sent Zhang Gan to punish our first division." Yi Yongqi said: "You can't say that. Principal Zhang may want to focus on studying well..." Brother Zhang Kun interrupted him, "Only you are honest! Focus on studying? He Zhang Gan has only been here for a few days. Look at how many tricks he has come up with. ? Increase school rules and discipline, cancel study clubs, increase evening self-study, and even Brother Run is not allowed to go out for exercise. Now what is the monthly exam? Mao Zedong said: "People are good at being bullied, and Ma Shan is being ridden by others. In my opinion, we cannot be allowed to treat us as soft persimmons." Luo Xuezan's eyes lit up: "Runzhi, what's your idea? We'll listen to you. Tell me, what should we do?" Zhang Kundi, Zhou Shizhao and others all quieted down, listening to Mao Zedong's idea. Unexpectedly, Mao Zedong said lightly, "I don't know what to do. Anyway, he took his test, and I ignored his tricks. What can he do?" After finishing speaking, he picked up his job bowl, "Let's go, eat." Zhang Kundi and Luo Xuezan exchanged glances. Obviously, they were inspired by Mao Zedong's words. With knowing smiles on their faces, they walked out of the dormitory with their shoulders hooked. The monthly exam results came out soon. According to Zhang Gan's instructions, the rankings were posted on the bulletin board according to the scores. The top ten were written on the red list, the bottom ten were written on the white list, and the middle ranks were written on the green list. .What is different from usual is that this time the students focused not on the red list, but on the white list, pointing and laughing loudly. A classmate said, "I thought I was good enough, but there are others who are stronger than me. Alas, you are actually on the white list." Another classmate slapped his thigh, "I would have handed in nothing if I had known." In the crowd, Li Jinxi and Fang Weixia, who were also watching the list, were too shocked to speak, they came out quietly, and walked towards the office with their heads lowered in muffled voices.Sure enough, before reaching the door, I heard Zhang Qian's hoarse voice, "What's going on? What's going on? One monthly exam, two-thirds of the students in the school failed! This...these questions are not It’s so difficult, how did you pass the exam like this? Is this the teaching quality of the first division? If this continues, how many qualified graduates can the first division produce? No, the whole school will make up the class! Make it up immediately! Director Fang, Teacher Li, please inform me. Starting today, we will add two evening self-study sessions every night, make up classes all day on Sunday, and cancel the exercises between classes, and put the time for doing exercises into the second class in the morning." Both Fang Weixia and Li Jinxi were stunned: Fang Weixia said, "Principal, are you afraid that this is inappropriate?" Zhang Gan said, "What's wrong? The students' grades are already like this, why don't you make up?" Li Jinxi was anxious , "But there is no such way to make up lessons. Students are human, and they don't even do exercises between classes. How can they study under such pressure?" Zhang Qian said, "Study requires pressure! If you don't pressure, how can you get grades?" Li Jinxi asked back, "But principal Zhang pressures and pressures, did you get your grades?" Zhang Gan pointed to Li Jinxi and said, "Are you Say—I made the students’ grades worse?” Fang Weixia pulled Li Jinxi, but Li Jinxi shook his hand: “Anyway, in the hands of Principal Kong, the students of the first division have never had such poor grades! " "You..." Zhang Qianteng stood up, and said in a trembling voice, "Li Jinxi, I am the principal of the First Normal School. I have the final say on how the teaching of the First Normal School will be conducted!" Li Jinxi also stood up: " Then I can also tell Principal Zhang that I absolutely do not agree with this teaching method!" When Li Jinxi returned to his office, as if a fire was burning in his heart, he picked up a pen and wrote the letter of resignation in one stroke.But after finishing, he sat down again, staring at the resignation letter in a daze.Fang Weixia chased from behind, pushed open the door, saw the resignation letter in Li Jinxi's hand, his expression changed, he grabbed it and crumpled it into a ball, "Jinxi, you..." At this time, Cai Hesen, Mao Zedong, Zhang Kundi, Luo Xuezan and other students also heard the news. They stood at the door of the office, looking down at the ground like children who had done something wrong, and did not dare to come in. Li Jinxi smiled and said to his classmates, "What are you doing standing at the door, come in quickly." Then, he took out some letters from the drawer and handed them to Fang Weixia.Fang Weixia opened it and saw that they were all invitation letters from the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University. The earliest one was dated half a year ago.Fang Weixia raised his head, "Jinxi, this... this is a good thing. You have always advocated the consistency of language and language, and the unification of the national language. This is a great opportunity to realize your ideals. Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Jinxi smiled and said, "Aren't I talking about it now?" He turned his head and said to Mao Zedong, "Runzhi, to be honest, is this incident your idea?" Mao Zedong was puzzled, "My what? idea?" Cai Hesen couldn't help but question, "Runzhi, if you dare to do it, you have to be brave. I heard that you mobilized your classmates for this monthly exam, telling everyone not to get good grades in the exam, and giving the principal a blow, right?" Mao Zedong was a little puzzled, he didn't know why all the spearheads were coming at him all of a sudden, "What's going on, don't blame me, I objected to the monthly exam, but I didn't mobilize my classmates to do it against me .” Seeing that the momentum was not right, Luo Xuezan hurried forward to explain: "Ms. Li, Mr. Fang, I really don't blame Runzhi for this matter. He just had an opinion on the monthly exam and said a few words. We think what he said is reasonable, so , I quietly contacted my classmates and did it.” Li Jinxi sighed again and again, "How can you do this? If you have any opinions on the monthly exam, you can raise it. Oh, connecting with classmates and deliberately failing the exam, this is your method? For the purpose, for the result, you have to talk about the method, Don’t talk about methods, right? Using such methods will only backfire, do you know that?” He turned to Mao Zedong again: “You too, they do this, you can’t be unaware in advance, everyone usually listens to you, if you dissuade In a word, will this happen again?" Unconvinced, Mao Zedong straightened his neck and said, "The school rules set by Principal Zhang are unreasonable. Why should I dissuade them? Besides, if you push him hard, the sky won't collapse!" Li Jinxi took a deep breath, and then calmly said to Mao Zedong, "Runzhi, no matter what, I have to criticize you a few words. This time, Principal Zhang may have been a little anxious in his way of studying, but he After all, it’s still for your grades to indulge everyone’s fellowship and confront the principal. What’s the matter? You are dissatisfied with the new school rules. I originally discussed it with Teacher Fang. When your monthly exam results come out, I will sit down with the principal and have a good discussion. Talk, now that you are making such a fuss, alas... how about this, Teacher Yang is going out to give lectures, and he will be back soon. Even if you have any opinions on some school practices, you have to wait for him to come back and ask him to come forward to solve it. Before this, no matter what President Zhang asks, everyone still has to obey, and remember that you are a student of the First Normal School, have you remembered?" Reluctantly, the classmates sent Li Jinxi far away from the school gate. Seeing that it was almost time for evening self-study, they returned to school.At this time, the sky was dark, and the evening wind in late autumn was quite biting, and it brought a chill to the body.When they passed the bulletin board, they suddenly found that there had been a new pattern. The bright red warning "35 days until the final exam" just hung up was impressive even in the night.Luo Xuezan and the others curled their lips at the warning, with dissatisfaction on their faces.Brother Zhang Kun looked around, but there was no one there, so he stepped forward, intending to do some damage.Before his fingers touched the bulletin board, the other hand moved faster than him and blocked it.Brother Zhang Kun took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mao Zedong. "Brother Run?" Brother Zhang Kun was puzzled. "Have you forgotten what Teacher Li said just now?" Mao Zedong said.When Brother Zhang Kun heard this, his face immediately became heavy. He said nothing more, took his hands back, and followed everyone into the classroom. In the classroom, Yi Yongqi, who was holding a thick pile of materials in his hand, saw them coming in, and quickly said, "You are here, I will help you get all the materials." "What materials? Yongqi, your illness will be better. Let us do these things." Mao Zedong quickly took the materials, held them in his hand and opened them. It was a thick mimeographed "Supplementary Exercises Collection" ", looking at the desk again, there are already piles of supplementary exercises, tutorial materials, etc. for different courses... Mao Zedong became more and more annoyed the more he looked at it, he closed it with a bang, and was about to get angry when Cai Hesen pushed him , it turned out that Zhang Kundi and the others were more impulsive than him, and they were smashing the exercise sets on the table one by one, almost tearing them into pieces, so he quickly shouted, "Kundi, what are you guys doing?! " "I tore these crap." As soon as Brother Zhang Kun said that, seeing the disapproval on the faces of Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen and others, he felt a little embarrassed, and rubbed his forehead, "Okay, okay, I'll just do it." After Zhang Kundi sat down obediently, the students also sat back to their seats one by one and started working on the exercise books.The time for doing the questions seemed to pass very slowly. Mao Zedong couldn't help but want to yawn. He wanted to bear it at first, but when he saw that several classmates were also yawning from exhaustion, he stretched his waist unceremoniously and yawned greatly. a yawn. On the other desk, Yi Yongqi was coughing, his eyes were bloodshot, and after finally finishing a subject in his hand, he reached out to pick up another homework.At this moment, a cough came up suddenly, which made him almost out of breath. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and his body almost bent into a bow.The students were all taken aback, and gathered around one after another: "Yongqi, what's wrong...Yongqi..." Mao Zedong supported Yi Yongqi and patted him on the back: "Yongqi, are you okay?" Yi Yongqi tried his best to hold back his cough and smiled as relaxed as possible: "It's okay, I'm fine." Zipeng brought a Bowl of water: "Yongqi, drink some water." "Thank you." After Yi Yongqi drank his saliva, he felt much more relaxed: "Okay, I'm fine, thank you all." Mao Zedong was still worried, "Are you really okay?" Yi Yongqi said: "Really It's all right, I just choked a bit just now, Brother Run, you still have homework, go and do it." After everyone dispersed and picked up their books, Yi Yongqi quietly unfolded the handkerchief he had been clutching in his hand, and took a peek—the handkerchief was actually stained with blood!He hurriedly clenched his handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket indiscriminately, for fear of being discovered by his classmates... It was so easy to stay up until the end of self-study at night. The students finally breathed a sigh of relief and packed up their things to leave. At this moment, the classroom door opened with a "squeak". At first, add a class after the evening self-study, and make up analytic geometry today." Zhang Qian wrote down mathematical formulas on the blackboard while talking. It took the students a long time to come back to their senses, so they had to force themselves to continue listening to the class.In the middle of the talk, the lights suddenly went out, and the school clerk's clapper came from outside the classroom, "The electric light company has shut down, light up the lights in each room, be careful of the candles." A faint hope rose in the hearts of everyone, and they watched the students on the podium. Zhang Gan. Zhang Qian took out the oil lamp, lit it, and then took out a bag, "The students in front come up to get the candles...let's continue the class..." three "Zipeng, it's been a while since I saw you go to your uncle's house, right?" As soon as Tianzipeng came home on Sunday, Mrs. Wang asked about her son. Only then did Zipeng remember: "Oh, I... forgot." "How can you forget? You child, Si Yong is your fiancée, you don't even go to see her, and they think you are heartless, don't you? Go in the afternoon, take advantage of Sunday!" "I... still have homework." Boss Wang put down the newspaper: "Do your homework at night. You and Si Yong didn't go very warmly at first, and you haven't seen much, so you've grown estranged. Follow your mother's advice, go!" After lunch, Zipeng had no choice but to go to Tao's house.Xiuxiu's heels are behind Zipeng's leather shoes.But today she couldn't follow suit as usual, because Zipeng himself was full of worries, as if he didn't know where he was going.Ahead, the gate of Tao Mansion is already in sight.But Zipeng stopped in his footsteps, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and turned back. Xiuxiu followed closely and asked, "Master, aren't we at Miss Shangbiao's house?" Zipeng shook his head, looked at Xiuxiu, and said, "I don't want to go to that mansion, Axiu, find a quieter place and sit with me." The two passed the time aimlessly, and before they knew it, they came to the church one after the other.Zipeng stood at the foot of the church steps, gazing at the cross on the top of the church, listening to the solemn church bells echoing in the sky, and watching the pigeons flying up under the clear sky, passing by the Gothic vaults and high ceilings of the church. Hanging cross.This quiet religious world seems to be a paradise, cutting off everything in the world.Zipeng sat down in front of the steps, pulled Xiuxiu who was beside him, and said, "Axiu, sit with me, sit beside me." "Master, this..." "Don't call me young master. This is a church. In the eyes of God, there is only one Axiu and one Wang Zipeng. There is no young master or maid." Zipeng reached out and took Axiu's hand, "Let Axiu and Wang Zipeng Sit together as equals, okay?" Looking at Zipeng's frank eyes, Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, and sat down beside him. In this paradise in their hearts, the two masters and servants spoke intimate words that were not easy to say usually.But he forgot that this is still a public place, and he didn't know that Cai Hesen and Jing Yu were walking side by side in the small street next to the church, carrying a shoe-shine tool box on their backs. Cai Hesen is asking Jingyu if he comes to shine his shoes every weekend, will it delay Jingyu's homework. Jing Yu rolled his eyes at him, and asked sharply: "What, you think I'm annoying?" "How dare I? Besides, with your help, I can earn a lot of money." "Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and thank Miss Ben. Hey!" Jing Yu suddenly pulled Cai Hesen, "Isn't that Si Yong's cousin?" In his sight, it was indeed Zipeng and Axiu sitting on the steps of the church. is talking.Jing Yu hooked his finger at Cai Hesen, "Let's go, listen to what they say." "Why are you eavesdropping on what people are talking about?" Cai Hesen didn't want to go. "That's Si Yong's fiancé. He's talking about it here without telling Si Yong. Of course I have to listen." Jing Yu dragged Cai Hesen away, but Cai Hesen didn't dare to make a sound, so he followed Jing Yu and walked around. side of the church. On the steps, Zipeng murmured, as if he was confiding to Axiu, and more like talking to himself: "In the past, Si Yong didn't want to see me. I still don't understand why. I always feel that we have too little contact." , Lack of understanding. Now I understand what it feels like to meet someone when you don’t want to see them.” "But you are engaged to Miss Cousin." "So what if we're engaged? Is it the same as having feelings? Si Yong is so enthusiastic and unrestrained. What she needs is not someone with a weak personality like me, and every time I'm with her, I always It feels so awkward, so unnatural, and she and I are not the same way at all, so why bother to be together and destroy each other's nature and peace in each other's hearts? In the corner, Jing Yu eavesdropped and nodded.Cai Hesen next to her obviously felt that it was inappropriate to eavesdrop on other people's whispers, and wanted to pull her away, but was held down by the police force instead.He couldn't beat Jing Yu, so he had to accompany him to eavesdrop. "I like to live a simple life, and I like quiet days." On the steps, Zipeng turned his head to look at Xiuxiu, and said, "Axiu, when I'm with you, I feel very, very peaceful, very, very calm." Naturally, this kind of feeling is not something you can find when you are with Si Yong." Xiuxiu hurriedly turned around in a panic: "I'm just a maid, how can I compare with Miss Biao?" "No, in my heart, you are much better than Si Yong. In order to provide for your brother to go to school, and to take care of your sick father, you have suffered so much and suffered so much, but you have to bear it silently. If Speaking of how kind I thought I was in the past, then it was you who told me what is true kindness and what is true strength. Although you seldom open your mouth, I think you are my best and most intimate My friend." Zipeng took Xiuxiu's hand as he spoke. Tears moistened Xiuxiu's eyes, looking at Zipeng, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't express it, so she had to look at the hand held by Zipeng, and lowered her head slightly. "In the future, I will never go to Tao's house again. My parents insisted that I go, so let's come here, like now, like a pair of best friends, quietly, sitting at the feet of God, let us My heart is purer and more peaceful, okay?" "Let me sing you a song, a song about the Virgin Mary that our teacher taught us." Seeing Xiuxiu nodded and agreed to himself, Zipeng gently sang Gounod's "Ode to Our Lady": "Holy Mary, you are the loving mother of the earth, you suffered for us..." Amidst the quiet singing, Jing Yu in the corner retracted his head.Cai Hesen hadn't noticed the change in her mood, and was about to look over the steps, when Jing Yu grabbed him back.Only then did he realize that Jing Yu's eye circles were red.Silently walked a long way along the quiet side street behind the church, Jing Yu was still wiping the tears from his eyes as he walked.Cai Hesen endured it, but still asked, "What's wrong with you?" "I was moved. Are you not moved?" "You said just now that they were messing around." Jing Yu elbowed Cai Hesen: "Why are you men so heartless? How sincere and touching are you guys? I was moved by him. How about you, you are a dead wood!" Seeing the stone bench by the side of the road, Jing Yu straightened up, walked over angrily, and sat down.Cai Hesen didn't know what she was angry with or whom she was angry with, so he sat down beside her and asked stupidly, "But didn't you say that he is Si Yong's fiancé?" "He said it all, they are not suitable. I think so, he is suitable for that little girl." "People treat Axiu as a friend, it's not as complicated as you think." "Why can't it be complicated, why can't it be complicated? I think the two of them should be together. Anyway, I will never tell Si Yong what happened today, and let them develop." "It's really hard for a young master and a girl to develop. With such a big difference in status and status, if you really want to develop, I'm afraid it will be a tragedy." "If you want me to say, a rich young master should be married to a maid, and a poor boy should pursue a young lady. This kind of love is free love. What status, what traditional concepts, go to hell!" Jing Yu raised his fist, Threatening Cai Hesen, "Quickly agree with me." Cai Hesen quickly covered his head, and hastily praised: "You are right, you are so right." "It's more or less the same." Jing Yu looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and heaved a long sigh of relief, "If everyone could have the courage of Wang Zipeng, and everyone could freely pursue the happiness in their hearts, how much would it be? OK." Looking at Jing Yu's face reflecting the sunset, Cai Hesen's heart suddenly felt agitated.Quietly, he moved his hand inch by inch towards Jingyu's hand, and just as his hand was about to touch Jingyu's hand, there was a sound of "dang", but at this moment the church bell rang suddenly.Cai Hesen's hand shrank back like a conditioned reflex, but before he really did, Jingyu grabbed his hand, pointed to the sky with one hand, and exclaimed inexplicably excitedly: "Ah, ah, pigeon, Pigeon! Look, look! If only I could become a pigeon, so free, and fly as I want, how wonderful it would be." A large flock of pigeons had just been startled by the sound of the bell, flitting across the top of the church and flying in the air, but Cai Hesen's mind was not on these pigeons... Even though he knew that Jing Yu was just holding his hand involuntarily, Cai Hesen still couldn't help his face beating warmly. That night, Cai Hesen couldn't calm down.Lying on the bed with his hands on his head, his eyes were wide open.While tossing and turning, he simply turned over and got up, quietly ran to the dormitory of Class 8, and called Mao Zedong out.Lying side by side on the lawn and looking up at the night sky, Cai Hesen asked Mao Zedong: "Tell me, who is your favorite person in this world?" "My mother." Mao Zedong was in a drowsy sleep, and was dragged here by Cai Hesen forcibly, his mind was still dazed. "Mum doesn't count. I mean except relatives." "Then I didn't think about it. Why did you ask this?" Such a strange question, coupled with the cool air outside, finally made Mao Zedong sober. "Just ask! Hey, don't you feel that there is anyone who is particularly close to you?" "Yes, yes, Teacher Yang." "Elders don't count." "Then, Kaihui, I'm pretty close to her." "It doesn't count if it's too small." Mao Zedong sat up and yelled at Cai Hesen, "I said, what do you want to talk about? It's rambling." "It's nothing, I'm just... Don't you think there is any peer who makes you feel that there is no distance?" "You!" Cai Hesen stared at the bewildered Mao Zedong, not knowing how to continue talking to him. "Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen!" Zhang Qian's majestic voice suddenly sounded, and the two people who got up to talk in the middle of the night got up in fright. "It's three o'clock in the middle of the night, why don't you go home at night? Why don't you go back to my dormitory?" The two of them didn't dare to make a sound, so they turned around and left. Zhang Qian's fierce roar came from behind: "Write the inspection tomorrow and hand it over to the principal's office! Also, clean the corridor for three days!"
