Chapter 77: The child with no one to hold an umbrella can only run hard (Please subscribe)
School is over at noon.
Shen Qiushan went to the cafeteria to buy food by himself.
Let Shen Yixiao and Shen Yanran go to Lin Xiamo's office first.
The brother and sister met in the corridor, both looking hopeless.
Out of five days a week, I have to take English classes after school on three afternoons. Now even my lunch break is being used!
Although it is the sprint stage of the college entrance examination, the intensity is still a bit too much for the brother and sister.
“Shen Yixiao, do you know which teacher is giving us extra lessons?”
After they met, Shen Yanran asked with a bitter face.
"have no idea."
"My dad didn't say anything!"
Shen Yixiao shook his head, then lowered his voice and said, “Do you remember the message I sent you this morning?”
"Shen Yixiao, you are boring."
"It's just that you smell good!"
"That doesn't prove that our dad is in love. Besides, he doesn't have the time!"
Shen Yanran curled her lips in disapproval.
"What if our dad's girlfriend is also in school?"
"Then there's time!"
"Well?"
Hearing this, Shen Yanran finally became interested: "You said our dad's girlfriend is also in school?"
"Who is it?"
"Could it be a teacher?"
Shen Yi smiled smugly and raised the corner of his mouth: "I have found evidence."
"A bottle of Red Bull, if you want to know."
"whispering sound!"
“Dream on!”
Shen Yanran rolled her eyes and immediately quickened her pace.
"Or Sprite will do."
Shen Yixiao chased after him and said.
"Then you go first."
"I have to judge whether what you said is true!"
Of course Shen Yanran was also very curious, because her father's love affair was a big deal.
It’s just that she doesn’t quite believe Shen Yixiao.
"All right."
"After all, this matter is closely related to both of us."
Shen Yixiao looked around and made sure that he was keeping a safe distance from the students around him, then he lowered his voice and said, “I suspect our dad is in love with Teacher Chen!”
"ah?"
"Teacher Chen?"
Shen Yanran's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her collagen-filled face was full of disbelief: "Shen Yixiao, stop talking nonsense, how is this possible!"
"Listen to this detective's analysis!"
"Today I smelled a fragrance on our dad, and now I smell the same fragrance on Teacher Chen."
"If this is a coincidence, remember I told you before that there were men's slippers at the door of Teacher Chen's bathroom."
"The size of those slippers is similar to the ones I wear, which means that the man is probably not short, and is probably about the same height as me."
"Also, do you think Mr. Chen is giving us extra lessons just to make money?"
"Now is the critical stage of the college entrance examination sprint. If Teacher Chen really wants to make more money by opening a class, he will definitely open a large class with more than a dozen people!"
"And now she's giving us two special treatment. Is that reasonable?"
"Also, you may have forgotten that my dad and Teacher Chen seemed to be high school classmates."
"To sum up, the possibility that the two are secretly dating is still very high!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, our dad stayed at Teacher Chen's house last night!"
After a wave of analysis, Shen Yi smiled and shrugged proudly: "How about it, a bottle of Sprite is worth it!"
Shen Yanran did not refute. In fact, her father had taken her and Shen Yixiao to Chen Xiangyu's house to study English.
Shen Yanran was very surprised, because in-service teachers are very cautious about giving extra lessons, and usually do not use the afternoon time after school.
After listening to Shen Yixiao's explanation, everything became reasonable.
The reason why Chen Xiangyu cares so much about the siblings is entirely for her father's sake.
Of course, she may also want to have a good relationship with the siblings. After all, if she and her father were really together, she would become their stepmother.
"If it's really like what you said, it's not bad. I think Teacher Chen is a nice person."
Shen Yanran still had a very good impression of Chen Xiangyu. She was intelligent, generous, and pretty, and not as conservative as their class teacher Zhang Xia.
"I also think Teacher Chen is pretty good, but I'm a little surprised. How did she choose our dad? In comparison, our dad's conditions are much worse than Teacher Chen's, and we are the two burdens..."
"It's a burden!"
Shen Yanran corrected.
"Wow, you are quite self-aware!" Shen Yixiao retorted.
"Get lost, it's you!"
"I'm much less worried than you!"
Shen Yanran snorted softly: “Every time our dad is called to school, it’s because of you!”
The brother and sister started to quarrel while chatting.
The two of them have long been accustomed to this, and it would not be their style not to have a few arguments.
After entering the office building, the two quickly arrived at the third floor where the vice-president's office was located.
"Hey, isn't that Xu Loquat?"
When they were still some distance away from the vice-principal's office, the brother and sister saw Mushroom-headed Xu Loquat wandering around the office door.
She was still wearing the baggy school uniform and a pair of yellowed white sneakers.
She raised her hand twice outside the vice-principal's office, but she didn't have the courage to knock on the door.
Although Shen Qiushan said that the place for tutoring was the vice-principal's office, Xu Piwa felt a little timid after arriving here.
Children who have not been protected by their parents since childhood tend to develop two extreme personalities.
One is introverted and inferior, the other is lawless.
Xu Loquat obviously belongs to the former.
Shen Yanran and Xu Piwa knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other.
The two have a common friend, Zhao Dongmei.
So when we meet occasionally, we will chat for a few minutes.
"Loquat, what are you doing?"
Walking to the door of the office, Shen Yanran asked curiously.
"Uh, you guys are here."
Seeing the two of them, Xu Loquat felt a sense of relief.
With the three of them together, she wouldn't have to face the aloof Vice Principal Lin alone.
"You knew we were coming?"
Shen Yanran looked suspicious.
“Uncle Shen asked me to explain the problem to you!”
Xu Pipa thought Shen Qiushan had already told the two of them.
"ah?"
"So you are our teacher!"
Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were both a little surprised. They thought it was the teacher who was giving them extra lessons.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xu Pipa, who is also my student.
However, the two did not doubt Xu Piwa's ability at all.
She is the perennial runner-up in her grade and a potential candidate for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
She scored 699 points in this mock exam.
Last year, the admission score lines for physics majors at Tsinghua University and Peking University in Sanjiang Province were 690 and 692 respectively.
Therefore, Xu Pipa has a very good chance of being admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.
Just as the three were talking, the office door was suddenly opened.
It was Lin Xiamo who heard the sound outside the door and took the initiative to open the office door.
"Hello, Principal Lin."
Xu Loquat quickly greeted him respectfully.
What shocked her was that Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao both called her "Second Aunt".
Lin Xiamo frowned slightly: "It's okay if there's no one here, but we still have to avoid suspicion when there are people around!"
"Got it, Second Aunt!"
Shen Yanran responded with a smile, and then took Lin Xiamo's arm affectionately: "Second Aunt, why don't you look old at all? You still look like you're in your early 20s. Those single male teachers in our school are all fascinated by you..."
Although Lin Xiamo was aloof, this kind of compliment was very useful to any woman. She gently pinched her niece's waist and laughed and complained: "Why are you just like your father, so slick."
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Second Aunt, I can testify to this. Our coach's eyes go wide every time he sees you."
Shen Yixiao echoed from the side that all the physical education students knew that physical education teacher Yang Wei had a crush on second aunt Lin Xiamo.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and Xu Loquat, who followed behind, closed the door silently. She envied this mode and atmosphere of getting along with family members.
Because she never had it!
Yesterday at noon in the cafeteria, Shen Qiushan guessed her life experience.
Her name does come from Gui Youguang's "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi".
The name was given by her father because her mother died shortly after she was born.
Therefore, "There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death" fits this background perfectly.
The following sentence, "Now she is tall and graceful like a canopy," expresses her father's expectation for her healthy growth.
Xu Pipa's father is a poet and a writer.
He was a brilliant man when he was young, but after the accidental death of his mother, Xu Pipa never recovered. Perhaps the shock was too great, and he went crazy.
He is still being held in the Sanjiang City Second Mental Hospital.
Therefore, Xu Loquat grew up with his grandparents.
When her grandmother was alive, Xu Loquat lived a pretty good life. Although her family was quite poor, at least she had enough food and drink, and her grandmother was quite caring towards her.
However, when she was in the third year of junior high school, her grandmother also died of illness.
Xu Piwa’s world suddenly collapsed.
Only she and her grandfather are left to depend on each other, and Xu Pipa's grandfather is not very reliable and is addicted to lottery and gambling.
When my grandmother was alive, there were some restrictions and someone could look after him.
After his grandmother passed away, Xu Piwa's grandfather completely let himself go. Whenever he made money, he would take it to the gambling table.
Xu Loquat also passively lived a life of hunger and fullness.
Grandpa only has food to eat when he wins money, but most of the time, he is hungry!
Gamblers end up with nothing!
There is no way you can win!
Xu Loquat knew that he could only rely on himself in the future.
So even if she received a scholarship of 2,000 yuan, she was reluctant to spend it.
If she had enough money, she could apply to the university she wanted.
Otherwise, she could only go to universities that offered her scholarships and free tuition.
But given her current grades, the university that offers her a scholarship and free tuition cannot be the top university.
Therefore, she naturally cherished this opportunity to make up for the lessons.
According to the agreement with Shen Qiushan, as long as the tutoring can continue until the college entrance examination, she will have an income of about 6,000 yuan.
Only after saving enough tuition fees will she have the confidence to apply to her ideal university.
Children without anyone to hold an umbrella for them can only run forward on their own!
