I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 7 Little Sister's Call

Qin Ke was speechless for a moment. Ning Qingyun was indeed known for her strong principles. In the last class, she had her favorability score. She originally thought that she would refrain from minding her own business, but in the end she still insisted on principles and did not show affection.

Qin Ke spread his hands and said rambunctiously: "You also know that my English is not good, so what class do you take? Anyway, I don't understand."

He answered so straightforwardly that Ning Qingyun choked, and after a while he whispered: "If you don't understand, try to listen as much as you can. If you don't understand, make a record. I'll explain it to you after class."

Qin Ke lazily said: "The midterm exam will be next week, so it won't affect how much you study."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a midterm exam anyway, it doesn't matter if I review it or not."

Listen, is this human speech?Is the super academic so arrogant?

Qin Ke felt that his previous pretense was still too low-level, and he needed to learn more from Ning Qingyun's invisible pretense in the future. This is the real arrogant pretense.

At this time, footsteps sounded. Qin Ke thought it was the English teacher, but when he looked up, it was Wei Wenping, the head teacher. She hurried into the classroom and said loudly, "Qin Ke, come out."

Qin Ke was puzzled, went out and asked, "Teacher Wei, what's the matter?"

"Your family called. Your father seems to have had an accident. You'd better go back quickly."

Qin Ke was startled: "Mr. Wei, what's wrong with my dad?"

Wei Wenping shook her head: "Your sister called just now, and she didn't elaborate. Why don't you call back and ask?" He said and handed Qin Ke's cell phone.

The school rules of Yingyuan Private High School are very strict. Although students can bring mobile phones into the school, they usually have to be handed over to the head teacher for unified management. They can only be retrieved under special circumstances or after a holiday. Usually, parents can only contact their children through the head teacher.

It was obviously a special situation at this time, Qin Ke took his mobile phone and quickly dialed the mobile phone of his younger sister Qin Xiaoke (ke, second tone).

The phone was connected immediately, and the crying voice of the little girl came from inside: "Brother, come home quickly! Dad...he had an accident..."

Qin Ke's brain buzzed, and he almost couldn't stand still. He held onto the window to stand still, his face still pale: "Little sister, don't cry, tell my dad what's wrong first?"

"I don't know either. I just know that something happened. I'm rushing home now. Come back quickly... woo..." Qin Xiaoke hung up the phone while crying.

Qin Ke took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. After all, the little girl usually speaks and acts like her father, with "unreliable" in capital letters.To be on the safe side, he called his mother's cell phone again, intending to ask about the situation first.

Because he was too worried, his hand holding the phone was trembling.

My mother's mobile phone heard a notification that it was turned off.

Qin Ke gritted his teeth and said to the class teacher, "Mr. Wei, I want to ask for leave..."

Wei Wenping listened to Qin Ke's call the whole time, and seeing his anxious face, she sighed in her heart that this child still has many merits, such as valuing his family.She took out two hundred yuan and said, "Do you have enough money to take a car? If you don't have enough money, take it first."

Qin Ke hurriedly said: "My living expenses are enough, thank you Teacher Wei."

Wei Wenping asked Qin Ke to make up a simple leave note, signed it and sent Qin Ke to the school gate, explained the situation to the guard in person, let him go, and repeatedly told him: "Be careful on the road, come back to class when you are free at home mid-cycle exam."

Qin Ke didn't talk nonsense anymore, but just saluted respectfully. For a good teacher like Wei Wenping, he respected it from the bottom of his heart.

As for the midterm exam, as long as he can come back, he will definitely come back to take it, after all, he still has to complete the task.

……

Qin Ke's hometown is in the small town of Qingping, which belongs to the Changhua District of Yuanzhou City, the provincial capital.

What kind of town is this?If you use the rhetorical techniques taught in Chinese class to describe——

"This is a small town with beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by willows, small bridges and flowing water. You can see low but clean bungalows everywhere, and old people walking slowly. , let you put aside the turmoil of the world, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel your own poetry and tranquility..."

What?Want to speak human language?Oh, that is the most remote mountain town in the suburbs, adjacent to the mountains, with a population of less than 10 people. In the eyes of the urban residents, it is a place where "birds don't sleep well". There is no subway, and the traffic is very poor. Not convenient.

So Qin Ke had a long way to go home.

He had to take the subway for nearly 10 minutes to the city passenger station, and after buying a ticket, he waited for a long-distance bus in the city that runs every hour on average. Walk home for 10 minutes, and the total time is about four hours.

Not long after Qin Ke got on the subway, his cell phone rang again. It was his younger sister Qin Xiaoke's call.

Qin Ke connected immediately: "Little sister, are you home? How is Dad?"

Hearing Qin Xiaoke ask weakly: "Brother, have you asked for leave?"

"Please, I'm on my way home, I'll be back at noon."

"Oh...that's good." The little girl at the other end was obviously relieved, and said cautiously: "Brother, you come back slowly, don't worry, Dad doesn't seem to be serious as the rumors say, er, it should be said that there is nothing serious... But you still have to come back, I'll wait for you at home! If you don't come back, I won't go to class!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Xiaoke hung up the phone as if afraid of being scolded.

Qin Ke was startled, what's going on?Dad had an accident but nothing serious happened.

Tried calling Dad, but no one answered.This old Qin still doesn't have a phone by his side all day, so he has a headache.

Forget it, they've all come out anyway, we'll talk about it when we get home, but at least the phone call from my younger sister later relieved most of his anxious mood.

When the scenery along the way slowly changed from reinforced concrete and high-rise buildings to a piece of lovely green and rolling hills, Qin Ke knew that he was close to home.

When Qin Ke jumped off the long-distance bus and hurried home, it was past lunch time.

A familiar elder saw him on the road and immediately greeted him enthusiastically in his native dialect: "Qin Xueba, are you home?"

The residents of the small town usually call Qin Ke directly "Qin Ke", but when they are joking in a friendly way, they will also call out the special title "Qin Xueba". Among the students in the mountainous area, only Qin Ke was admitted to the best provincial key high school in the city.

In the eyes of the townspeople, this honor is almost like winning the number one prize in the past. In addition, Qin Ke has been a top student since he was a child, his grandfather is a well-known professor (retired), and his parents are also "celebrities". The palm-sized town is extremely well-known.

Qin Ke kept smiling and said hello, but his pace was quickening.

near, near.

When he saw the familiar figure of his mother sitting under the signboard of "There is a hardware store" and slowly turning the pages of the book, Qin Ke's heart that had been half-suspended was relieved.

The store is not big, and it's not a good time for business at noon. My mother, Shen Qiuyi, is sitting elegantly on a chair by the door, reading a book.

She was wearing an ordinary but clean white long dress, and around her neck was a necklace composed of smooth-polished nuts, small steel balls, and copper wires. Behind her were shops and various hardware parts and tools.

She was holding a book in her hand, with a cup of brewed tea beside her, she was at ease, like an elegant young lady from a scholarly family.

It is worthy of being called "a lady who can dress elegantly with nuts and wires" by the residents of the small town. This daily scene can be called a scene of the small town.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shen Qiuyi raised her head from the book and saw that it was Qin Ke, her eyes slowly opened wide, the scene seemed to be slowing down, then she got up from the chair and asked softly: "Ah La ah la, Xiao Ke, why did you come home?"

Seeing his mother's expression, Qin Ke felt that something serious happened at home, but he still asked, "Where's dad? My little sister called my school and said dad had an accident?"

Shen Qiuyi pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Ah, it was Xiao Ke who informed you. Your father is fine. He was playing with a group of children. A naughty little boy climbed up a branch and fell off. Your father rushed over to pick him up. Wait, the kid is fine, but he sprained his foot and was helped home. But within two hours of applying the medicine, he went out alive again."

"So..." Qin Ke finally felt relieved: "Mom, why is your phone turned off?"

"Mobile phone?" Shen Qiuyi tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's been too long, maybe it's out of battery?"

Qin Ke: "..."

Forget it, mom seldom uses her mobile phone, but loves to watch romance novels and romantic TV dramas. It’s not uncommon for her mobile phone to run out of battery and forget to charge it.

"What about little sister?"

"Xiao Ke said he was worried about Dad, so he didn't go to class after he came back."

Qin Ke didn't believe the younger sister's nonsense, her father was out to play, and she was still worried.It must be that this lazy girl doesn't want to go to class and wants to stay at home and play.

"Mom, next time you can't let the little girl's temper, it will affect the academic performance."

Shen Qiuyi smiled gently: "Study is not that important, as long as she is happy."

Qin Ke shrugged helplessly.

Mom has always had such a gentle temper, and Qin Ke has never seen her get angry since he can remember.No matter how naughty things she and her little sister did when they were young, she would just smile and clean up the mess later, unless the two brothers and sisters were going to do something dangerous and hurt, she would dissuade one or two.

Why didn't the younger sister inherit her mother's good character?

——But Dad once told Qin Ke in private that Shen Qiuyi was a very rebellious girl when she was a girl, and she did everything from getting tattoos to drinking and fighting.

Qin Ke was determined not to believe it at first, but his father said straightforwardly, "She is not rebellious and non-mainstream, so how could she marry me?" I don't believe it.

"Have you eaten yet? Let me make you a bowl of egg noodles." Shen Qiuyi put a bookmark in her book and was about to leave.

"Don't, I'll do it myself, so that my dad, who loves his wife, will nag me again when he sees you cooking."

Shen Qiuyi pursed her lips into a smile, and sat back on the chair again: "Then I'll continue reading, you can cook your own food and then go play computer games, oh yes, your grandpa will come over for dinner in the evening."

"Got it." Qin Ke walked into the store with his schoolbag on his back and climbed up the stairs.

The first floor of Qin Ke's house is a pavement, and the second floor is a living room with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

As soon as he went up the stairs, he saw a small figure sneaking around.

Qin Ke rushed over and caught this stinky girl in junior high school uniform: "Qin Xiaoke, you've grown capable, and you fooled me back before you figured out the situation? Are you still pretending to cry? This time I let You cried a lot!"

"How do you know that I'm fake crying... No, I'm really crying!"

"I'll give you another chance to confess and be lenient."

"Brother, I was wrong, I was crying half-truth..." Qin Xiaoke handed over the feather duster pitifully, and then covered his buttocks: "Brother, I am a middle school student in the first year of junior high school, so I can't spank my butt anymore ! Of course, you can’t hit your face either!”

"What's the word 'again'? Have I really hit you before?" Qin Ke was amused by Qin Xiaoke's reaction, and took the feather duster in one hand: "You also know that you are a junior high school student? How dare you take the opportunity to exaggerate it?" Did you trick me into coming back? Do you know the story of the wolf coming? Today I really want to let you remember!"

"Brother, I... I didn't lie to you. Something happened to my father. I contacted you as soon as I found out the truth. It's just that I didn't understand the situation at the beginning, so I exaggerated..."

"Dare to talk back?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Qin Xiaoke covered his mouth in a funny way, then pinched his ponytail, and stretched it out in front of Qin Ke pitifully:

"Brother, I really want you to come back, that's why...it's an exaggeration, and I heard that Dad was helped home, so I thought he really broke his leg... Okay, forgive me How about this time? I won’t dare in the future, if you’re really angry, why don’t you… slap me on the head to vent your anger?”
