Chapter 6 The hook cannot be changed when hanging
From noon to the present for most of the day, Qi Ran's mood has been floating in the high clouds. The memory that would have been sealed with time forever was opened by the little lover in the dream. The young man who was ordinary and dull in the past felt that the goddess of fate stopped greeting him coldly, but showed a mysterious smile to himself for the first time.
But when I heard my uncle's words outside the door, he immediately made him fall from the clouds to the mortal world.
Although I have been studying very hard recently, the homework that has been abandoned in the past two years is not so easy to catch up. Qi Ran estimated that even if he performed best in the high school entrance examination, he would still have a gap of 20 to 30 to 30 from the unified recruitment line of Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School.
For those students with superior families, this gap is like a shallow stream. They lift their feet and walk over. The process is easy to freely paint because their life path is wide and flat, with flowers blooming on the roadside; but Qi obviously does not belong to one of them. Even if these two or three tens are not difficult to cross, at least they are big rivers and rivers, which require great efforts to reach the other side.
In addition to Qi Ran's hard work to try to narrow the score gap, his family also asked his uncle who worked in the Safety Supervision Bureau to find a connection and find a way to get a place to transfer admissions. Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School is so awesome. If students who have not passed the unified recruitment line want to choose a school, they not only have to prepare a considerable school choice fee, but also have a reliable relationship, otherwise they will not be able to pay the money with them.
Although my uncle only serves as a section chief in the Safety Supervision Bureau, he is already the most "high-ranking and powerful" relative of the Qiran family. From his tone, he obviously hit a nail in the Education Commission, and his words also meant to persuade Qiran's parents to give up.
Even my uncle can't help, who else can I count on?
If you cannot enter Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School, the joy of being alone with Lin Yan today and the throbbing of most of the day will eventually disappear like a mirror, water and moon. The barrier between time and space will make the distance between people farther and farther.
My childhood playmates will cry when they are dragged home by their parents, struggling to continue to play with you in a pile of sand and mud. After several years, I met by chance on the street, but I just nodded in a salty and unpretentious way, and then passed by...
The brothers in the upper bunk during their school days, together with Duota and European Cup, exchanged the teacher Cang in his hard drive in private. Many years later, they each started their own families and careers. At the class reunion, they looked at each other's increasingly vicissitudes of faces, compared to houses, cars, wives and children, and then raised their glasses and touched them gently. No matter how mellow the wine was, the taste became weak...
Qi Ran already understands a lot of things at this age. Even if his best friends in elementary schools wrote so sincerely on the gold-plated graduation memorial book and believed that friendship lasted forever, as long as they were not in a middle school, they would have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet. They would naturally gradually move from familiarity to strangers. Even the color of the handwriting on the memorial book became lighter with time.
Will this happen between me and Lin Yan in the future?
I haven't met for 16 years and still have a stronger relationship than Jin. It was Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.
Qi Ran felt sad in his heart, and he reached out and pushed open the empty door.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Qi Ran's grades are not good. Even if he barely goes to Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School, he will take the college entrance exam in the future... Uh?" The uncle Lu Weidong sat on the sofa with a lit cigarette, trying to persuade Qi's father and mother to give up the idea of choosing a school. Seeing Qi Ran pushing the door in, he knew that his nephew had heard his words, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Then he turned his face and prepared to scold him.
Lu Weidong often helps his younger brother and sister, and is not bad for his nephew Qi Ran. He is used to being a eldest brother among relatives and likes to train people at any time.
Qi’s father Qi Siming glared at his son, and the whole family was worried about you.
Qi's mother Lu Aihua winked at Lu Weidong. She was worried that her brother's words would hurt her son's self-esteem. A child of this age was in a rebellious period of youth and spoke with a terrible face, but he couldn't listen.
Before Lu Weidong could speak out the words of the training, Qi Ran bowed to him first: "Uncle, I'm sorry."
Qi Ran is sincere. My uncle was a college student in the 1980s. He had a very noble and proud personality and never flattered him. So he still stayed in the position of section chief for twenty years. He was willing to ask for help for Qi Ran.
I was very worthy of this nephew when I pulled my face down and hit others.
After all, it’s not because I haven’t worked hard for more than two years and my grades cannot reach the unified recruitment line of Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School, otherwise how could I ask my uncle to see other people’s faces?
Maybe Qi Ran wouldn't understand my uncle before, but he thought a lot just now outside the door. The ups and downs of his mood in one day were like a burst of enlightenment, and his mood became much more mature.
Lu Weidong looked at Qi Ran in surprise and felt his nephew's sincere apology. His tense face relaxed, his eyes softened a lot. He murmured in his mouth and finally nodded with a smile.
Qi Ran greeted his parents again: "Mom and Dad, I'm doing my homework."
Then he walked into his room, closed the door, and soon the English reading came out: "Hello, Han Meimei. Didyouhaveagoodsummerholiday?"
Lu Aihua pushed her husband: "Lao Qi, look."
Qi Siming smiled with relief: "Our son has grown up."
"Boys always wake up later, but it's not too late..." Lu Weidong pondered, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and quickly made a decision: "I will run for a while on the Education Commission. Don't worry about money. I'll move out tens of thousands of dollars on my back, but there's still no big problem."
"Then thank you brother!" Lu Aihua was both surprised and happy.
Qi Siming was very embarrassed and blushed and said, "We will pay Qiran's school choice fee. We will still have tens of thousands of yuan in recent years. If the house price difference is to be made up for the demolition, we will borrow it from our elder brother. Alas, the mines are not profitable. When the reform is successful in the future, I hope to get more."
Qi Siming is an engineer at Longquan Coal Mine. As a man, he is not feeling well. He just asks his wife and brother to help him out. If he has to get the school fee, he can't help but he can't bear it. However, the situation in the mine is so good that he can only hope for the restructuring.
Lu Weidong shook his head and sighed: "Reform? Lu Zhiguo has been arrested. I think Lin Weimin is also mysterious, so he has changed his system!"
"Ah, when did it happen?" Qi Siming was stuck in the mine and had just taken a bus home from the mine. He didn't know what was going on in the city.
Lu Weidong smiled bitterly, "Yesterday, Sun Xiaoying's hand was made, and today the news of Lu Zhiguo's double regulation was published on the front page of the newspaper. Didn't you read it? It is said that Lin Weimin is also deeply involved..."
Qi Siming was shocked by the news and shook his head in disbelief after a long time: "Forget it, Lu Zhiguo, Lin Weimin cannot be, he is not like a corrupt official?"
Lu Aihua photographed her husband: "I know people but not my heart. How do you know who is a corrupt official and who is a honest official? It is said in the newspaper that a director who wore cloth shoes all day long and ate porridge and picked vegetables every meal, embezzled tens of millions of dollars behind his back..."
Qi Siming, Lu Aihua and Lu Weidong were talking in the living room, thinking that they wouldn't hear it when they were closed. When talking about the coal mine reform that was related to their vital interests and the Lu Zhiguo who was familiar to everyone, Lin Weimin couldn't help but grow louder and louder.
This is an old brick-concrete house built more than ten years ago. The sound insulation effect of the walls and doors and windows is not good. When staying in my room, Qi Ran listened to 70% to 80% of the words of his parents and uncle. He was originally going to learn with peace of mind, but he didn't remember a few English words. But every word came in from his ears and was imprinted in his mind.
Both parents and uncle care about themselves very much...
My dad works in a coal mine, and he encountered trouble in the reform...
Lin Yan’s father should not be a corrupt official, but if something really happens, she will definitely be sad. Maybe she will cry, even if it is such a cold girl...
Troubles grew like wild weeds, and the night dream was messy. When I woke up the next morning, my face was swollen. It was my mother who reminded him that it would be better to wash his face with cold water.
In the eyes of parents, this was of course caused by his son's hard study, so Lu Aihua stuffed two more boiled eggs into his son's bowl. Qi Siming, who was sitting on the old-fashioned sofa reading newspaper, also reached out and held his glasses: "Don't burn incense, just cram the Buddha's feet for the time being - pay attention to the combination of work and rest! How can I destroy my body?"
………
All morning, Qi Ran was a little absent-minded. He looked up several times to see Lin Yan, and wanted to ask her if her father had been dragged into the water by Lu Zhiguo, but he was afraid of causing her misunderstanding.
The relationship between the two seems to be not yet at the level where they can ask such questions casually.
Fan Wei noticed the condition of his deskmate and joked more than once. In his opinion, Qi Ran's actions yesterday made Lin Yan happy, and it was hopeless to go further.
Because Li Tianyi did not fight Qi Ran, during the break, classmates stood next to Qi Ran and Fan Wei's desks, talking nonsense with the incident yesterday. They all wanted to know how Lin Yan and Qi Ran blamed him after they went out, and what was going on in the situation.
Lin Yan, who has always shown her face in a cold face, looks so angry that she is really imaginative!
A few girls also pretended to be careless. The cold Lin Yan obviously couldn't satisfy their burning gossip, so she spoke with Qi Ran who had nothing to say.
This is a forever situation for Qi Ran, who is never conspicuous.
Even Fan Wei also benefited from it. Although he didn't dare to mention the smile he saw Lin Yan last night, he was already talking about the train and chatting with boys and girls, making several little girls chuckled from time to time, or opened his eyes wide and said, "So that's how it is", which made him so happy.
However, the real person Qi Ran was not in a high mood and sat silently in his position without much sarcasm.
"Tsk, what are you pretending now? Didn't you have a thick-skinned yesterday?" Wan Tingting walked back to her position, muttering unhappy, feeling that she was willing to talk to Qi Ran, and the other party should be flattered.
Chen Yulu smiled: "It was probably because Lin Yan scolded me, so I'm embarrassed to say it out."
"With our class monitor's temperament, will he scold him?" A boy next to him laughed, "You didn't hear it after self-study last night. Lin Yan didn't miss him at all, and she wouldn't be angry. Maybe she called out and said a few words casually."
Lu Lu heard it in the front row and curled her lips without looking back: "Beauty Bing, you guys like this. But Qi Ran is stupid enough to pretend to be mysterious. Do you still expect us to misunderstand that he really has something to do with Lin Yan? Have some ambiguousness? Childish!"
Little did they know that Qi Ran was having fun.
The cell phone I put in my pocket just now vibrated. I took it out and saw a message: "See you at the rooftop of the experimental tower at 1:00 noon."
Instinctively looked up and looked forward, Lin Yan put her phone back into her schoolbag as if nothing had happened.
May is coming soon, the noon sun is already burning with burning heat, the rooftop of the experiment building is empty, and occasionally a few sparrows fly by.
Lin Yan, wearing a white embroidered shirt and a black small Western suit, bent her slender legs and sat quietly on the rooftop, holding her knees with her hands. The wind blew her hair a little messy, her pursed lips shone with pearly luster, and her deep eyes reflected the silhouette of the entire city.
Qi Ran was stunned for a moment when he walked out of the stairs. The scene in front of him was simply a classic oil painting, which made him unable to bear to disturb him.
It was Lin Yan's look back with a heart-to-heart look, and her simple and cold face showed a smile: "Are you here? Come and sit down."
So he walked over and sat beside her, then fell into silence, and became part of the oil painting.
"Actually I have something to do..." The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they smiled tacitly, like friends for many years.
"You talk first," Qi Ran smiled.
"You talk first," Lin Yan bit her lip gently.
OK, Qi Ran scratched his scalp: "I want to ask you to help make up for the lessons. Well, it won't take up too much time... Of course I know that you are very busy studying too. If you are in a dilemma, you can lend me your notes and study experience..."
It is hard to ask Lin’s father directly, so Qi Ran wanted to find an opportunity to get along with Lin Yan, which would not only help him make up for the lost homework. If something happened to Lin’s father, he could also comfort the sad Lin Yan in time. Of course, creating the opportunity to be alone with his dream lover is also a little bit of his selfishness.
Speaking of this hesitantly, Qi Ran was a little frustrated. Lin Yan's eyes were so clear that she seemed to easily see through his "conspiracy".
"Yes," Lin Yan nodded slightly.
What, Qi Ran almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"I said, yes," Lin Yan showed a joking smile on her lips, as if she had discovered a little secret from Qi Ran, and then added: "However, you also have to do something for me, which is related to the difficulties my father encountered. You must not tell anyone, including Uncle Qi, Aunt Lu, and Fan Wei."
When he heard Lin Yan agreeing to make up for the lesson in person, Qi Ran was so happy that he was about to jump up. His heart jumped happily and nodded in agreement. He didn't even think about the difficulties encountered by Deputy Mayor Lin Weimin. How could he, a middle school student, help him?
Lin Yan stretched out her right hand, her white wrist skin was moist, and the green blood vessels under the skin could be seen faintly. Four slender fingers were bent, and only her little fingers were slightly bent: "Come on, let's hang it, we will not change for a hundred years!"
