Chapter 402: The teacher's strict defense
At the start of the new semester, the students sitting in the senior high school classroom of No. 1 Middle School even had serious expressions on their faces during class.
The teachers all have opening words for the new semester.
Some teachers are inspirational: your destiny is in your own hands!
Some teachers are hardworking: you have to work hard to know if you can do it!
Some teachers are responsibility-oriented: only if you study hard and the country needs you, you can go to school!
No matter what you say, it's actually the same. Those who can go to high school in No. 1 Middle School are all aiming to go to college, and everyone knows it.
However, it seems that no one wants to waste their youth, so they will be naughty after class and read some miscellaneous books, listen to pop songs, etc.
The teacher constantly encourages students and suppresses them when he sees any signs of wrongdoing, striving to keep everyone's thoughts on track.
What teachers worry about most is love. Teachers were all young once, so they know these things. It is very normal to admire young girls, so teachers are very cautious and extremely sensitive.
In today's ideological class, the teacher mentioned this matter again in a vague way.
The teacher said a lot, such as "It's okay to admire classmates, but there must be a limit. Some students can't tell the difference and think that this is love, but it's not actually the case."
Lin Dongzhe didn't want to hear this. He felt that what his Aunt Huang said when she was educating the three of them emotionally was better. Huang Ling said:
If you can sort out your heart and know that you really like someone, then you should wish the best for the other person. If you can grow side by side with him or her, it will definitely be better for the other person than entanglement and a series of wrong attempts.
People who truly like each other will respect each other and help each other, instead of simply dragging each other into hell.
In fact, Dongzhe has gradually seen through his own heart and knows the real reason why he studies so hard. It is because he wants to grow up side by side with Xiaoting, and he hopes that he can be as good as Xiaoting.
He admires Xiaoting, but it is definitely not just simple admiration.
I just don't know what Xiaoting thinks...
Appreciate... probably can't appreciate...
However, he knew that now was not the time to confirm, and it would not be too late to confirm after everyone was admitted to university.
The uncertainty did not stop him from wanting to see Xiaoting every day.
We can see each other at least three times a day: for lunch, dinner, and after evening study.
After evening self-study, the three of them still went to the parking shed together and then left the school gate.
Pengfei and Dongzhe go home by themselves, and Zhou Huaiyi comes to pick up Xiaoting every night.
If Zhou Huaiyi is away on a business trip, he will call Dongzhe in advance, and Dongzhe will send Xiaoting home first and then go home himself, because Pengfei still has to pick up his aunt.
To be honest, Dongzhe is looking forward to Zhou Huaiyi's business trip.
Of course, you can’t go on business trips every day, that’s not good either.
When the three of them walked out of the school gate, they saw Zhou Huaiyi waiting for Xiaoting.
"I'm going to buy the reference books the teacher needs tomorrow. Brother Pengfei, I'll buy them for you and give them to you on Monday." Xiaoting said to Pengfei.
Dongzhe immediately became alert: "What reference book? Why didn't our teacher mention it?"
"History." Xiaoting and Pengfei answered at the same time.
"Oh, oh, haha, I thought so!" Dongzhe laughed.
Everyone went home.
When I got home, the family had already prepared a midnight snack, which was wontons made by Huang Ling herself.
Xiaoting said to Zhou Huaiyi while eating:
"Uncle, you don't actually have to pick me up every day. I see other female classmates go home on their own, and our house is closer. You're already tired enough after a day's work."
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's not far. I'll just take it as a way to digest my food. I was drinking with your Uncle Wei the other day, and he said there have been more and more scoundrels lately, and he's been busy with a lot of cases. I'm afraid it's not safe at night."
Uncle Wei is Zhou Huaiyi's comrade-in-arms and a public security officer.
Xiao Ting nodded quickly after hearing this: "I understand, thank you uncle."
She finished the wontons in her bowl, drank up the soup, and then praised Huang Ling:
"Mom, it's so fresh!"
"Your uncle specially bought some prawns today. We are going to braise them in oil. Since you are not coming back for dinner, I will leave some for you to make wontons. I wonder if they are enough for you." Huang Ling replied.
"That's enough, just right. I'll have a full meal in the evening."
After she finished eating, Zhou Huaiyi went to wash the dishes, and then cleaned up the "battlefield" after Huang Ling finished making wontons. Huang Ling also went to help.
Xiaoting heard two people chatting while working in the kitchen.
When she was chatting with her good friend Yu Xijing about her parents' relationship, Yu Xijing was surprised to hear her say that her parents had never quarreled.
Yu Xijing said: "Although my parents have a good relationship, they do quarrel sometimes. One of your parents must have a very good temper."
Xiaoting thought about it and heard from others that Zhou Huaiyi was a very resourceful person whether he was in the factory or in the bureau, and her mother, needless to say, never spared anyone with her words, and her strategies were invincible.
So she told Yu Xijing: "No, they are only good-tempered to each other, oh, and me."
Anyway, no matter what others said, his mother could be strict sometimes, but Zhou Huaiyi never said a harsh word to her or rejected any of her requests.
Yu Xijing suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I heard that the last time they fought, your dad hit Li Guanglei's dad."
"I didn't hit him, I just pushed him. If my dad had really hit him, he would have been disabled." Xiaoting explained very seriously.
Yu Xijing looked envious: "If it were my dad, he would definitely let me look for the reasons within myself."
"My dad said that even if it was my fault, no one else could do anything to me. Anyone who dared to do anything to me would have to endure his power."
Xiaoting has become very comfortable calling Zhou Huaiyi "Dad" in front of others, especially those who don't know her family situation.
She leaned against the kitchen door and listened to the two people discussing in low voices.
Zhou Huaiyi said, "I'll buy some more shrimp tomorrow morning. Xiaoting didn't eat the fried shrimp today."
"Then I have eaten today!" Huang Ling joked deliberately.
"I know. I'll make half fried in oil, Xiaoting likes it, and steam the other half with vermicelli, the kind we had in Guangzhou. How about it?"
"Great, Deputy Director Zhou is awesome!"
"Why do you like Cantonese food so much? It's like I grew up there. I'm happier than eating Changzhou food."
“I just like it!”
"Okay, I'll learn a few more and cook them for you later."
Happiness overflowed from the kitchen.
On Sunday morning, Xiaoting still followed the same school schedule. She got up at six, had breakfast, and studied until ten. Then she took the money to go to the bookstore to buy the materials required by the teacher.
These materials are additional, and some students from families with limited financial resources will buy one copy and pass it around among themselves. Sometimes the stock is limited and they cannot be purchased, so only a few people can buy one copy.
Xiaoting doesn't have this problem. She and Yu Xijing have their good friend Chen Shurui to help them, who will reserve it for them in advance.
Xiaoting and Yu Xijing agreed to meet at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore and then go buy books together.
Because she liked buying books, Xiaoting was already very familiar with Chen Shurui's mother. She greeted her politely and then quickly bought three history reference books.
When Chen Shurui's mother heard Yu Xijing's name, she said:
"So you're Yu! I heard Shu Rui mention you before. You two were in the same class before we were divided into different classes, right?"
"Yes, Auntie, I know you are Chen's mother, but I'm embarrassed to come and say hello." Yu Xijing answered obediently.
"What's the big deal? You can go to Auntie to buy books next time." Chen Shurui's mother looked like an intellectual, gentle and elegant.
"Thank you, Auntie!" The two thanked her and left the bookstore.
The two families lived in different directions, so they separated at the door of the bookstore.
There was no space to park the bicycle in front of the bookstore, so Xiaoting parked her bicycle in the alley opposite the bookstore.
She walked to the side of the bike and put the book into the basket, then lowered her head to unlock it. As soon as she looked up, someone pressed down on her bike handlebars.
