The campus in the town is not big. It is a three-story red brick building where teachers and students attend classes. The first floor is the teacher's office, and the upper two floors are classrooms for students.
Behind this small building, there is a two-story mud building, which is the student dormitory.
There is a row of poplar trees planted on the left side of the road, which serves as a playground for students' daily activities. A single-story bungalow on the right side is where students eat. The school is surrounded by a brick wall with white paint and motivational slogans written in red letters.
Chu Ye stood there and looked around. At this time, students were still in class. There was no one on campus. Only the sound of reading came from the classroom occasionally, accompanied by the spring breeze, and reached Chu Ye's ears.
She followed the route in her memory and walked to the first floor of the teaching building. There were four rooms on the first floor, and only one was an office. There were not many teachers in the school, and for the convenience of everyone, they were all in one place, so it was easy to find.
There is a large window on the outer wall of the office. The narrow edge of the wood is inlaid with greenish glass. The glass is foggy and cannot be seen clearly.
Chu Ye walked over and stood at the door. In front of him was a wooden door painted with green paint. The paint may have peeled off over time.
Through the door, she vaguely heard the voices inside. She took a deep breath, thought about what she wanted to say again, then raised her hand and knocked lightly.
"Boom, boom, boom." "Report!"
"Please come in."
Chu Ye pushed the door open and the voices inside stopped. Three or four teachers raised their heads and their eyes fell directly on her, showing expressions of surprise.
She stood at the door, her hands clenched and hanging at her sides. Although her heart was full of anxiety, she walked inward firmly.
"Chu Ye? Why did you come to school suddenly? Don't you stop studying?" A female teacher called out her name and then patted the arm of the person next to her.
The person who was photographed was bowing her head and writing something. When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her head in surprise and looked at Chu Ye.
This person is Chu Ye's class teacher and her target for coming to school this time.
"Hello, Teacher Chu, hello all teachers." Chu Ye walked up to her, bent down and bowed, looked up at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, and suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
The person in front of me is also named Chu, and her face looks like she is in her thirties. She is wearing blue overalls and has a ponytail. She looks clean and energetic.
Teacher Chu's home is in the town. She has been a Chinese teacher in this school since graduating from high school. She has educated many students over the past few decades, and Chu Ye is one of them.
After she stopped going to school in her previous life, Teacher Chu had been thinking about her. When registering for the exam from junior high school to high school, she specifically asked Chu Guangyao to take the news home.
It was a pity that she had already met Zhao Xuesong at that time, and the thought of studying in her heart faded a lot.
She didn't take this matter to heart at first, but she didn't expect that Teacher Chu would come to her house in July just to meet her when delivering her graduation certificate. At that time, Teacher Chu still earnestly asked her, even if she didn't Go to school and don't give up reading and studying.
At that time, she was moved in her heart for a moment, and then she fell into Zhao Xuesong's sweet and gentle land. She felt that she still wanted to get married after studying, and what she did was not wrong.
It's just that she was too stupid to listen to this at the time, and failed to live up to the teacher's concern.
Teacher Chu was also surprised when she saw Chu Ye again. She put down the pen in her hand and stood up, "Chu Ye, why did you come here suddenly? Are you here specifically to see the teacher?"
Teacher Chu stretched out her hand and put it on Chu Ye's shoulder. She looked at the little girl who was half a head lower than her and understood her nervousness.
"You've been traveling for a long time, are you tired? Take a rest first."
She pulled over a bench for Chu Ye to sit on, poured a cup of hot water from the thermos, then opened the desk drawer, took out biscuits and handed them to Chu Ye.
"Drink some water, eat something, and talk slowly." Teacher Chu's tone was gentle. Other teachers in the office also asked her about her current situation, what she was doing at home, whether she wanted to come back to study, etc.
It’s no wonder the teachers asked. Chu Ye’s grades have always been the first in her grade since she entered school. The little girl is soft and frail. She greets the teachers respectfully every time she sees her. It’s really hard not to like her.
Chu Ye took a sip of water and responded one by one. When the last question came up, she looked at Teacher Chu and expressed her decision.
"Teacher Chu, I still have to work at home and can't come to school to study. But I want to register for the technical secondary school exam. I will take the exam when the time comes."
With one sentence, you could hear a pin drop in the quiet office.
The bell rang outside and get out of class was over.
The other teachers went to the cafeteria to eat one after another, leaving Teacher Chu standing still, waiting for Chu Ye's next words.
There were footsteps on the top of the building, and then groups of students came downstairs and walked out. There was laughter and laughter, and it was very lively.
In the office, the air seemed stagnant. The Chu Ye who chose to marry in his previous life, with rough palms, full of grievances, and endless regrets, traveled through time and space and said the last sentence softly.
"Teacher, I want to study in a technical secondary school and continue school."
——
Jianwen walked around the market and worked hard for a long time, and finally bought enough things he needed.
Now there are twenty chicks on his bullock cart, all packed in bamboo baskets. They are balls of warm yellow fur, with red mouths open and chattering. He also bought three bottles of milk, a can of malted milk, and a "Deliang" shirt.
This is a pure white shirt. It is hung on a hanger in a department store, hanging in mid-air against the wall. No matter who comes to buy something, it is the first thing they see.
Before Jianwen bought this dress, many people had asked the salesperson to take it off and take a look at it, but they were frustrated by the price and finally just touched the fabric and left.
Jianwen also thinks it's expensive. The ticket for a "Qingliang" shirt can be exchanged for two or three pieces of cloth.
But he also thought it looked good. It was as white as snowflakes and smooth to the touch. He thought Nianci would look good in it. Nian Ci was a city girl, and she didn't live a good life after marrying him. It was just a nice dress, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.
When Chu Ye came over, what he saw was him sitting on a bullock cart eating steamed buns.
Seeing Chu Ye coming over, Jianwen took out another yellow-faced steamed bun from the cloth bag and motioned for her to eat it.
Chu Ye took it, but he wasn't hungry.
She thought about what she had just said to Teacher Chu. After she said she wanted to take the exam, Teacher Chu promised to register her for the exam and earnestly asked her to study hard at home.
According to the usual practice in previous years, registration will be in mid-March. Chu Ye has already left her information, and Teacher Chu will help her fill it out. She also left the registration fee of 40 cents, and asked Teacher Chu to give it to her when the time comes. Handed over.
Teacher Chu carefully explained the test subjects to her, and also said that the technical secondary school entrance examination was no less difficult than the high school entrance examination. Even if she was ranked first in grade all year round, it was a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. There were many students who were better than her in studying. Let her Must work hard.
She successfully took the first step to change her destiny, and her heart was as happy as a singing bird.
Moreover, she was not hungry after eating the food given by Teacher Chu in the office, but Brother Jianwen next to her was not full. He looked at the steamed bun in her hand eagerly, as if wondering why she didn't eat it.
Chu Ye simply handed over the buns and took out a few biscuits from his pocket, which Teacher Chu had given her before leaving.
She also gave the biscuits to Jianwen, then looked at the things in the car, and then she asked, "Brother Jianwen, what you bought are all for Sister Nianci. Didn't you bring anything for Aunt Wang?"
"Ah?" Jianwen chewed on the steamed buns, his brain shut down, and an unexpected problem arose.
Chu Ye had no choice but to say, "You think, if you come out, Aunt Wang and Sister Nianci will be thinking about you. But if you go back and only give something to one person, then the other person will feel uncomfortable."< br>
Yes, even if that person is your mother. This is also the experience she gained from getting along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in her previous life.
There are no major conflicts when people get along with each other, but more of layer upon layer of disappointment accumulated over trivial matters. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is just about whether the man in the middle can balance the scales well.
Jianwen didn't understand the twists and turns, but he could probably understand what Chu Ye wanted to express. When he thought about it, it was indeed the truth. Besides, he had never bought anything for his mother in his life.
"What you said makes sense, but I don't know what my mother likes. Xiaoye, come with me to the department store later, let's go pick something up?"
"Okay."
——
When he came out of the department store, Jianwen had a pair of blue pants in his hand, and Chuye was sitting on the bullock cart, surrounded by chirping chickens.
The bullock cart jolted towards home.
Along the way, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants.
She just felt relaxed and motivated for the next hard study.
After picking up her textbooks these days, she found that she still had big problems in foreign language and physics and chemistry.
Especially foreign languages. At that time, I only learned this subject in junior high school. The teacher also started with the most basic pronunciation. Chu Ye had not learned it solidly and had not used it for many years. Although he could still remember twenty-six words such as "ABCD" English letters, but it becomes more and more difficult to learn them in the future.
When she was working in the fields in her previous life, she still doubted that she would never go abroad for the rest of her life, not even going out to the county town, so there was really no use in learning this foreign thing.
But now, she just feels like it's a slap in the face. If she wants to get into school, she must not only learn a foreign language, but also learn it well.
Not to mention physics and chemistry, which I haven’t touched for a long time and are very difficult to learn.
The oxcart walked leisurely, passing through mountains, and familiar villages gradually appeared in front of us.
As the scenery in the distance got closer, the two figures at the entrance of the village gradually enlarged, and Chu Ye could see their faces clearly.
The matchmaker and Zhao Xuesong that day.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xuesong also saw Chu Ye early.
He stood up straight, reached out and pulled the collar, and deliberately turned the collar of the white shirt inside out, which was also a "good thing."
Then he reached out and smoothed his hair to make sure it was perfect, and then a smile that he thought was very charming appeared on his face.
He took a bunch of flowers from the matchmaker's hand, which he picked from the field in the afternoon.
Because of this, there was still a lot of mud on his leather shoes, but it was worth it to give it to Chu Ye.
When the bullock cart came closer, Jianwen stopped and turned to look at Chu Ye.
He also heard that a matchmaker went to the Chu family a few days ago, and he thought it was this person. He looked at the flower in the man's hand and thought that he would give it to Nian Ci in a few days. It would look pretty good.
What he didn't see was that the smile on Chu Ye's face completely disappeared the moment he saw the person clearly.
There was no blood on her porcelain face, and resentment and anger flashed in her eyes, but she finally lowered her eyes and became calm.
In her previous life, why didn't she see that Zhao Xuesong was so greasy!
He is indeed blind!
