I never dreamed that on this evening, at the entrance of the brick kiln, I would find money and food stamps again!The money and food stamps I picked up this time were in an old wallet, almost in the same place as the old one! I was immediately dumbfounded: what kind of absurd ghosts are so careless about their own money and food stamps in these difficult years?And maybe it was lost by one person these two times!If so, why did this careless person drop things in the same place twice?Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning: God, did someone put the money here on purpose for me to take it?

For some reason, I shuddered all over! Yes, I now conclude that must be the case!One person probably wanted to help me, but he was afraid of hurting my self-esteem, so he took such a method.There is such a thing in the world! who is thisI immediately had a mental search for everyone I knew.I quickly determined - this must be Wu Yaling.Yes, it's her! At this time, my heart was immediately immersed in a great excitement, mixed with an inexplicable fear. Yes, it is painful to have no friendship, but once friendship comes too suddenly and too suddenly, it also makes people feel uneasy!Especially for a person like me who is used to being discriminated against in life, accepting the friendship of a person who seems to me to be very dignified, I am a little panicked, just like a person who needs warmth suddenly comes to the iron stove where the sparks are bursting , It's like I'm afraid of being burned.what to do?Either go to Wu Yaling immediately and hand over the money to her face to face; or still give it to Teacher Li.Anyway, I will not take the money and food stamps.Especially now that I feel that this money and food stamps are someone else’s intention to help me in this way, so I have no choice but to use them for no reason.

I thought again, it might be a little too rash to go to Wu Yaling all at once.What if it wasn't her?Isn't this too embarrassing for her and me? So, from this point of view, I have to give these things to Teacher Li again. Yes, it is best to leave it to him.However, this time, I must never ask Teacher Li to praise me at the class meeting again.I just can't bear it if he does that again.Besides, the students will also wonder if there are any articles in it: why I picked up money and food coupons twice in a short period of time, and I picked them up in the same place! ?Teacher Li couldn't explain this clearly.Of course, I also want to tell Teacher Li my true opinion on this matter, and ask him to ask Wu Yaling from the side to see if this "magic" is really her trick.I thought: If she really did this, she would definitely admit it to Teacher Li; because her own goal was not achieved——I did not give her gift as she hoped. accepted it.The measures I want to take, even if it is decided like this.But my mood cannot be calmed down quickly.For anyone, such a thing can be regarded as a very unusual encounter.I never dreamed that such a thing could appear in my life.I was shocked, moved; I felt happy, I felt sad... For all this, I want to let out a long sigh!

In order to calm down my mood, I didn't go to Mr. Li immediately.I leaned against an old pear tree on the hillside, and gradually, my body and mind became as comfortable and comfortable as soaking in the warm river water in summer.A leaf of a pear tree fell gently on my hair.I took it off and looked at it for a long time.The leaves dyed red by the wind and frost are beating in the palm of the hand like flames... When it was getting dark, I went to see Mr. Li. When I excitedly shouted "Report" on Teacher Li's door, I heard the voice of a female teacher inside saying, "Come in!"

I hesitated.I think Mr. Li may be studying some problem with the teacher next to him.With the presence of a teacher next to me, I am really embarrassed to speak about me.But since the teacher had already called in, I had no time to think about it, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.As soon as I entered the door, I was taken aback: where was the female teacher, it turned out to be Wu Yaling.She was the only one in the room, and Teacher Li didn't know what to do.She giggled, then stuck out her tongue mischievously at me, and said, "I'm so shameless, I'm pretending to be a teacher!" I stood on the ground, neither staying nor leaving, my face flushed from suffocation.

Wu Yaling pursed her lips, looked at me with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and suddenly said, "What? Did you pick up something and bring it to the office?" My heart suddenly tightened!I couldn't help but glanced at her sideways: My God!She is holding the iron box I gave to Teacher Li last time in her hand. For some reason, I think it's settled - she did it all!So I quickly took out the wallet I picked up just now, put it on the table in front of her, and said to her: "... Wu Yaling, you... don't play tricks on me anymore..." She immediately looked at her in surprise. I, said: "Tricking? Oh! Ma Jianqiang, I'm so sad! I didn't expect to hurt your self-esteem again! Please don't take offense... I did this thing. I know your temper deeply; I I know it's really inappropriate to do this. But I want to give you a little help, but I can't think of any other good way. I will send you these things in person, and you will definitely not accept them. Later, I know that you are alone I often go to the brick kiln behind our school, just... well, what will you do if you go on like this? What do you think of your face? It’s scary! It’s like a terminally ill patient. You don’t know, our family is There are three people, the appetite is very small, my father's salary is high, and there is more than enough food and money. Jianqiang, I beg you, just take these things! There is nothing embarrassing about this! I like and admire you Perseverance, your character, your learning spirit; I don't think you will think that I am insulting your personality by doing this, right? I am the life officer in the class, and I have the responsibility to care for students who have difficulties...you just take these Accept it! No one in the class will know about this! Please believe me..." She picked up the wallet from the table and handed it to me together with the small iron in her hand, her eyes sincere looking at me. "No!" I said stubbornly, turning my head away.

She turned to me again, and stubbornly handed these things to me again, and even said a little angrily: "You must accept it! Why are you so weird!" After a pause, she returned He said in a negotiating tone: "Is this okay? These things are considered to be lent to you by me. Can you return them to me when you have a way?" "No..." I turned my head to the other side again, and two teardrops Can't help but overflow from the corner of the eye.I heard her sigh a long time and sit down in the chair where she was sitting.At this time, Teacher Li came back. I hurriedly wiped my eyes, my lips were trembling, and I was about to explain all this, but Teacher Li pressed my shoulder with one hand, and he had already spoken: "Stop talking, I already know." Turning his head to Wu Yaling, he said, "I went to the teaching office just now, and several leaders agreed with the opinions we discussed." You increase the stipend by two yuan per month. If you want to increase it a little more, but according to the state regulations, this is already the highest level..." I understand that this is also Wu Yaling's idea.This is something I can't say no to.My emotions were surging beyond words.I just nodded to Mr. Li silently, and quickly came out of his house.

I was walking on the school playground.The cold wind whistled sharply and hit my face with sand and dead leaves, but I didn't feel cold at all.In the dark, I put one of my fists to my mouth—I was afraid I couldn't help crying.When I was walking along the low brick wall on the side of the campus road, a person suddenly blocked me.In the darkness, I couldn't make out this person's face for a while, but based on the outline of her figure, I judged it was her.It was her—because she had spoken. "...Student Ma Jianqiang, let me discuss one more matter with you, do you think it's okay? That's right, the Armed Forces Department has some odd jobs to hire people recently. Would you like to use extracurricular time or do it on Sunday? If you If you want, I'll go back and tell my dad, you do it! If you do it, I want to do it too! Let's just wrap up this job... You don't believe me, do you? Actually, you don't I know my character perfectly. I'm a crazy person sometimes. I think, I'm so old, I've never spent a penny of my own money! I think it must be very cool to buy something with my own money. Meaningful... For you, this income will definitely solve my many difficulties. This money is not given to you by anyone, it is earned by yourself! Do you object to this?... You speak! After all Would you like to go?"

I could hear her voice choked up a bit. I can no longer refuse her.Moreover, I have had this idea before: Where can I do some odd jobs to earn some money so that I can solve my difficulties. I said to her, "I would like to go." She said happily: "This is great. You can come to the Armed Forces Department tomorrow afternoon. I'll be waiting for you!" Just as Wu Yaling turned to leave, suddenly a flashlight shone from the side, first on Wu Yaling's face. I shook it up, then shook it on my face again, and then heard Zhou Wenming's eccentric tone: "Hey, I thought it was someone! It turned out to be you two!" "Damn it!" Wu Yaling scolded In a word, he quickly turned around and left.

"God, Jiujiu, that sunny day! Eighteen-year-old brother..." Zhou Wenming hummed indiscriminately, and left with a flicker of the flashlight. I stood in the dark and felt a salty taste in my mouth - probably teeth had broken my lips!
