He went there slowly, and when he arrived it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Teacher Chen asked his wife to heat up the meal, and the meal was served.

It can be seen that they did not eat at noon, and they were probably waiting for him.

Lin Shuangye was a little ashamed. He lowered his head and sat cautiously opposite Teacher Chen, not daring to get too close to him.

"Eat," Teacher Chen said, passing the bowl and chopsticks in front of him.

Lin Shuangye didn't say that she had eaten for lunch, but took the chopsticks and ate her rice silently.

"Actually, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I just don't know where you live. Even if I call your parents, they don't know." Halfway through the meal, Teacher Chen suddenly said.

Lin Shuangye didn't dare to say anything and pretended not to hear.

"Lin Shuangye, do you still want to go to school?" He asked, "Nowadays, a social degree does not mean everything, but without an academic degree, it cannot be said that you are destined to have a bad career, but the job prospects in the future will become very, very narrow... This does not mean that you Those with ability can ignore academic qualifications. Without academic qualifications, you are not even qualified to enter some things. There are so many capable people, so there is no need for people to choose you, right? Unless you can endure hardship more than others, or are cheaper. But if that’s the case, then it’s you who will suffer.”

He asked his wife to take out a set of textbooks and put them on the chair next to him: "These are the old books of one of my students. He graduated and ranked first in his grade in the high school entrance examination. These are his books and notes from the past four years. Take a look. Don’t hold it, it’s okay if you don’t want to sell it for scrap. If you want, you can review it more, and if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me.”

"Teacher," Lin Shuangye felt very sad. He raised his head and looked at Teacher Chen, "I won't go back to study."

Teacher Chen did not directly persuade, but said: "Don't be anxious... You can use the remaining half of the year to catch up on the knowledge in the first and second grades of junior high school. If you can keep up with the progress, I will wait until school starts in September." I’ll take you back to school, and you don’t have to worry about tuition and accommodation fees…”

After a long silence, Lin Shuangye still said: "Forget it, teacher, I'm not good at studying..."

He and Teacher Chen have known each other for a total of half a semester. If they go to school for who knows how many years, how can they keep him working hard for him?

Also, his situation does not allow him to study hard. If he goes to school, no one will hold a parent-teacher meeting.

It wasn't possible before, and it's even more impossible now that there is a younger sister in the family.

"You really don't want to study anymore? Then what can you do for a living in the future?" Teacher Chen asked.

He didn't want to say it at first, but he tried to call Lin Shuangye's parents two days ago. It was at that time that he learned about Lin Shuangye's specific situation.

His mother said, don’t talk nonsense, I never had any sons!

His dad said, why are you looking for him and me?He is not my son.

At first he thought he had made a mistake, and he went to check the original file. It turned out that the copy of the household registration book was clearly written, and it was no problem to go to the police station to check. However, for such a living person, he could not get anything. people’s approval.

At first, he thought it was Lin Shuangye who had done something that made them sad, and he wanted to call to find out more and give some persuasion.

Until the woman on the phone started begging him, she said, let him stop calling her. She was very happy now. If her husband knew that she had a child with her ex-husband, he would divorce her. ;

He called Lin Shuangye's father. The man on the phone actually thought he was here to ask for money for Lin Shuangye. He yelled at him for not being trustworthy, and he agreed not to pay any alimony. He also said that they had severed the relationship between father and son. , legally he has no obligation to continue to support him, and he will not pay a penny.

After making the call, Teacher Chen was stunned for a long time.

He really couldn't imagine that there were such parents in the world.

If they divorced three years ago, how much hardship has the child suffered in the past three years?

Three years ago, he was only 12 years old, still a child, not even a teenager.When he was in the first year of junior high school, he left school. He didn't apply for a leave of absence, but took classes for half a semester. He didn't come at all for the second semester and didn't pay the tuition.

Teacher Chen still remembers that young boy. He was not tall, always had his head lowered, was relatively taciturn, wore a pair of round glasses, and looked very weak and well-behaved.

Look at this kid like this now...

Teacher Chen sighed.

"I won't force you. In this way, you can take these books home and read them, and then come to me after you think about it. I haven't saved any money in my life, but it is more than enough to support a child's education. You can also attend parent-teacher conferences and so on. You can ask your teacher's wife... If that doesn't work, if you can be self-taught, then you can sign up with me if you want to take the high school entrance examination. The same goes for high school." Teacher Chen said, put down his chopsticks, and the woman came over and took his place. Clear away the dishes.

Lin Shuangye couldn't explain how she felt in her heart.

He rubbed his eyes randomly and wiped away tears.

He took the book and before leaving, he hesitated for a long time and asked: "Teacher Chen, do you have any friends who need help? I don't have any requirements for salary. Two thousand a month will be fine. Tell him that I am 17 this year." Years old, I won’t reveal my age.”

Teacher Chen sighed inwardly again.

He did not directly take out his family's money and let Lin Shuangye use it, but said: "Let me ask for you."

"Thank you." Lin Shuangye said softly.

Lin Shuangye thought that this matter would have to wait for a while, or that there would be no news directly. Unexpectedly, within a few days, Teacher Chen called him again.

"Lin Shuangye? Are you free? I had a former student who opened a new shop. After he heard about you, he was willing to give you a chance. He is here with me now. If you want to do it, come and do it."

Lin Shuangye was suddenly stunned by this huge surprise. He knew that even if the job introduced to him by Teacher Chen was not too good, it would not be too bad. After all, it was an acquaintance relationship. If it was too bad, the acquaintance would not be able to live with it.

He hurriedly looked for his clothes, found the most decent set of clothes and put them on, and combed his hair. Looking at the yellow hair in the mirror, he felt anxious, fearing that the first impression would be ruined, and it was too late to dye it back now. In the end, he gritted his teeth and ran out with a head of yellow hair on his head.

"Where are you going?" Behind him, Lin Wantong asked loudly.

She was angry once, and her anger subsided after a day of "hunger strike". It happened that Lin Shuangye bought her a small cake that looked delicious at first sight. She couldn't hold it back and took it awkwardly. The two of them It's like nothing happened.

"Go to the interview!" This time, Lin Shuangye shouted loudly.

Behind him, Lin Wantong was still stunned: "Witch, what did my brother say?"

Lin Fengwan didn't answer her words.

The closer Lin Shuangye got to Teacher Chen's home, the more nervous he became. In the corridor, he repeated all the lines he wanted to say later, including self-introduction, for fear that others would look down on him.

He even made several sets of preparation plans for each of the questions the other party might ask, just to avoid making mistakes.

However, the moment the door opened, his expression went blank.

There is indeed an extra person in Teacher Chen's home today. That person is chatting with Teacher Chen on the sofa, and they look very harmonious.

But he knew that person.

Just a few days ago, he tried to blackmail the other party.

Cold sweat suddenly broke down on Lin Shuangye's back, and he suddenly didn't dare to go in.

He could already imagine what kind of expression that person would show after discovering him, and what he would say to Teacher Chen, and then Teacher Chen would look at him again with a new look... He wanted to run away.

However, now the eyes of everyone in the room have been attracted to him, and they have seen everything that should be seen.

"Master, I feel a little uncomfortable. Please come back another day." With that said, Lin Shuangye turned around and planned to leave.

"Stop." At this time, a man behind him called him, it was Teacher Chen.

He stopped.
