all the way

As soon as Huang Youguang and the others left, Zhang Fusheng wanted to run out to find Qiao Yanfang, but Liu Xia grabbed him: "Teacher Han and the others were sitting where we entered the door, and they were about to be eaten by mosquitoes."

Several other people also stopped Zhang Fusheng from letting him go out. Zhan Wei said, "Didn't Teacher Huang say that the school would not forcibly stop our actions tomorrow? Going out now will not serve any purpose except to punish Teacher Han and the others."

They all knew that Zhang Fusheng was afraid that Qiao Yanfang would feel uncomfortable after working so hard for so many days, but few people from the University of Surveying and Mapping attended.

Zhang Fusheng stayed restless, the dormitory was powered on all night, and they talked with the lights on until dawn.

At [-]:[-] on Sunday morning, Liu Xia had already arrived at Che Jie's house. Although he was as anxious as a cat scratching, he was still listening to Che Jie and Gu Xiaoting's exercises very seriously as usual. , he told them in turn.

Although Liu Xia tried his best to control himself, he couldn't help but keep looking at the quartz clock on the wall.

As time went on a little bit, he became more and more excited.

When the minute hand passed ten twenty, he secretly jumped for joy, but looked at Gu Xiaoting with a calm expression on a physics problem that Che Jie had just thought about for a while, thinking hard about it. can go.

Finally at 10:30, Liu Xia almost jumped up and ran out of Che Jie's room, but as soon as he came to the living room, Che Jie's eldest sister Che Hongmei handed him a cup of herbal tea with a smile: "Liu Xia, I I want to discuss something with you."

Liu Xia's heart was on fire, how could he be in the mood to listen to what Che Hongmei had to say, he said to her anxiously: "Sister Hongmei, you may not have seen it when you came, my classmate is holding a very important event on the street right now." I have discussed with them that I will go to find them as soon as my side is over, and we can talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do." Liu Xia didn't take the teacup, and wanted to go out while talking.

The mother of the car stopped Liu Xia: "It's just a little thing, don't worry, don't worry, it won't delay you for a long time."

Liu Xia couldn't say too impatient words to his elders, so he had to stand up and say, "Then hurry up, I'm really in a hurry today, and my classmate is waiting for me outside." Liu Xia is not sure whether the Che family knows what happened outside today.

Che's mother said: "That's right, we want Mingli to learn calligraphy with you. You're going to be on vacation in a month, so we want to start today, so that when you go on vacation, Mingli has almost learned calligraphy. It's been a month. During the summer vacation, I can practice slowly according to what you taught me. When you come back, she has a little foundation. Continue to learn from you. We wanted to tell you a long time ago, but your uncle Che won't let me , I can’t distract you now, Xiaojie’s college entrance examination is the most important thing, but we thought, just like today, since you are here, it’s okay to finish tutoring Xiaojie and Xiaoting, and teach Mingli for another hour. To Xiaojie and the others..."

Liu Xia couldn't bear it any longer, and interrupted Mother Che: "Auntie, I'm going to take the CET-[-] exam in a few days. I actually want to ask for leave to make up lessons for Che Jie and Xiaoting, so I can concentrate on preparing for the exam. What do you say?" This really doesn't work, I have to go now."

The mother of the car still didn't let him go: "Why can't it work? It's just an extra hour. Besides, we didn't let you teach for nothing, just like you gave Xiaojie a make-up class, we gave you money."

Che Jie couldn't listen anymore, and said to Che's mother and Che Hongmei irritably: "Mom, big sister, Brother Zhan didn't tell you on purpose that he and Liu Xia are going to take the English test for the second time in the next few days, no? Do you want you to make other requests to him? Xiaoli is only six years old. Do you want her to learn calligraphy until Liu Xia comes back from summer vacation? No matter how anxious you are, at least wait until he finishes the grade test in a few days. !"

Gu Xiaoting also said: "Auntie, please let Liu Xia go first, he must be really urgent today, we saw that he was busy when he came just now, because we are about to take the college entrance examination, and he is embarrassed to ask for leave because he has to take the exam himself , if we ask him to add that, it's really inappropriate."

Che's mother was very dissatisfied with Che Jie's words: "What do you mean Xiaoli is only six years old? You didn't hear your brother Wei Zhan say, what is Liu Xia's name, ah, his nephew named Maoer, who wrote letters to him when he was five years old. With a brush, the writing is more beautiful than that of adults, children should learn things as soon as possible..."

Liu Xia didn't care about being polite, and just walked out when Che's mother was facing Che Jie, and he opened the door... Che's father and Che Hongmei's husband Yan Hongwei stood at the door, and Che's father was holding his right hand to prepare knock on the door.

When they saw Liu Xia, they greeted him with smiles.

The mother of the car chased to the door and said to Yan Hongwei: "Oh, you are here. We talked to Liu Xia for a long time, but he didn't agree to teach Xiaoli to write. You can tell him yourself!"

Liu Xia was about to explode. He said directly to the two people at the door: "Brother Yan, Uncle Che, I have something urgent to do today, so I'm leaving first. I'll talk about it when I come back." Straight out.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, Yan Hongwei said, "Liu Xia, you don't have to go. When I walked to the side of Linjiang Road just now, the college students in ** had already started to leave."

Liu Xia stopped suddenly: "***s team dispersed?"

Dad Che said: "That's right, it's 37° in Jiangcheng today, people are uncomfortable standing in the shade of trees, who can bear to walk in the middle of the road for several hours, and if they don't leave, something will happen to the female students, girls like this If the weather is so cold, you should drink ice water with an electric fan blowing at home, what are you doing on the street?"

Liu Xia didn't want to believe the words of Dad Che and the two of them: "I want to go and see even if it's disbanded. Uncle Che, Brother Yan, I'm leaving."

Standing on the burning street, Liu Xia was very disappointed.

On the steamy main road, apart from the cars coming and going after the normal traffic resumed, there were few pedestrians. In the shade by the side of the road, there were groups of college students who were tired and excited, drinking cold drinks and laughing.

Liu Xia walked slowly to the school alone. He really hoped to meet a familiar person, but there was none.

When Liu Xia walked near the Normal University, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind. When he turned his head, he saw Xue Lin looking at him with sweat profusely and a smile, and a group of tall boys beside him.

Xue Lin asked: "Why are you alone? What about Yunjian and the others?"

Liu Xia replied reluctantly: "I went to make up lessons for the students, and I just came back now."

Next to Xue Lin, a boy with pimples on his face exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Damn, Liu Xia, what kind of consciousness are you, you don't participate in today's event? You can't make up after how many classes, today's event may be like this once in a lifetime , is the most glorious memory that witnessed our regretless college days."

Another person gave the pimple an elbow: "Pull it down, he wants to take part. The college entrance examination will be in a month. Can the parents of other students be willing? The college entrance examination is the moment of fate!"

After Xue Lin and his gang bought jeans in Liu Xia's dormitory, 219 all went to the teacher's college to play with them once, and even had a dance in their beautiful stadium. They are all passionate young people, once like this The contact with each other is enough to make them good friends. These people now know that Liu Xia's family is from the mountains, and they also know that he gave Che Jie extra lessons.

Xue Lin said: "If you didn't participate in today's event, I think you will regret it for the rest of your life. However, if you are tutoring my younger siblings, I can't let you ask for leave. Let's go Liu Xia, it's rare that you have time, let's go to our school." Let's dance again at school."

Liu Xia shook his head: "I'm going to take the CET-[-] test in a few days, and I don't know what to do. I have to go back and read."

Xue Lin and the others were also excited at the moment, and they didn't really want to dance, so they didn't insist, waved and left.

Although Xue Lin and his classmates took the initiative to excuse Liu Xia with empathy, Liu Xia felt very, very uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't participate in one of these two actions. What kind of university did he go to?Did he really think of himself as a selfish and pedantic nerd?

After returning to the dormitory, the excited looks of the other people made Liu Xia even more depressed. Of course they didn't have any prejudice against Liu Xia, but Liu Xia himself became more and more angry.

In the afternoon, Liu Xia had a rare free time, but he didn't want to read at all. He was bored and sat on the bed leaning against the wall, sweating profusely, listening to the other people talk about the interesting things during the morning's operation.

Mao Jianyong turned on the tape recorder, and every station was broadcasting the current situation of the college students in the local city. Almost without exception, every city was holding a huge protest activity, and Liu Xia felt even more boring.

Zhan Wei and Zhang Fusheng couldn't sit still anymore. The college students in other cities were still persisting, but they ended early. Does this mean that they lack patriotic enthusiasm and perseverance compared with college students in other places?

The two of them made several others wait while they went to discuss their next move with other student council members.

Liu Xia didn't wait for the news that Zhan Wei and the others asked him to write a notice, but he waited for their current homeroom teacher, Mr. Qi, Huang Youguang and other professors.

Teacher Qi is a female teacher who is nearly fifty years old. Because her youngest son is a little mentally handicapped, she usually goes home after work. Liu Xia and the others don’t see her often, and Han Tong is basically doing the class work. This time she came to sit in town, which proved that the school is attaching more importance to this activity.

As expected, Teacher Qi called the students of his class together and announced: "From now on, anyone who wants to leave school must ask me for leave. If you don't have a leave note signed by me, you can leave school at will. After returning, please go directly to the school. Report to the Political and Religious Office."

Throughout the night, the counselors and other teachers who were guarding the stairway and the dormitory did not leave.

Huang Youguang and others are assisting the professional class teacher who teaches them to maintain order in the dormitory. He clearly told Liu Xia and them: "Until the school announces the end of the foot ban, you should stay in the dormitory and stop thinking about it. The situation in this school is the same as ours, believe me, the school is not doing this because of bureaucracy and corruption, but out of love for you."

Students can talk passionately behind their backs, but when facing a teacher who has taught and is still teaching one of the most important compulsory courses, they cannot use those political principles and slogans to criticize and criticize .

That night, all the students had to stay in their dormitories and were not allowed to visit each other. The teachers were each in charge of several dormitories.

The dormitories Huang Youguang was in charge of included 219. He talked to the students one by one, and finally came to 219.

He and Liu Xia talked about a lot of things like this in foreign countries, the reasons why these things happened, and the various results after the corruption, and debated with them whether the school's actions were bureaucratic and dictatorial.

Liu Xia didn't expect that Zhang Fusheng, who has always been dull and honest, would speak eloquently once he played it, which made Liu Xia have a deep respect for love, an invisible and intangible thing.

But in the end, for some reason, the topic touched on the pros and cons of China’s current education system and the current craze for going abroad, and then the TOEFL test, “Fortress Besieged”, and Fang Hongjian’s Clayton University and diploma, I don’t know. At two or three o'clock in the morning, Professor Huang was already discussing the technique of sticking to cicadas and the problem of which is more harmful, mosquitoes or flies, with his proud disciples.

In short, the digression is very thorough.

Many years later, Liu Xia recalled the situation of that night, so that he could realize Huang Youguang's good intentions.

Liu Xia didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was lying on his bed, his neck was so painful that he was dying, Huang Youguang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding a copy of "Engineering Drawings" that he had written all over Look, it's already bright outside.

Monday.

The campus looks normal during the day, and all the classrooms are in session, but the teachers know that the hearts of the students are not in the classrooms.

The radio kept broadcasting the latest developments about the college student riots, and the riots in several cities were getting louder and louder. All the topics on the campus revolved around the riots sweeping the country. Unprecedented high emotions are circulating among the students of the University of Surveying and Mapping. More and more students are beginning to express their disgust at the school's practices. They believe that the behavior of school leaders and teachers not allowing them to ask for leave at this time is more in nature than those who are corrupt. The elements are also bad, they are imprisoning the thoughts and free souls of college students.

But the school did not compromise because of this. After the last class in the afternoon, all the head teachers announced at the same time: the banning order issued by the school yesterday will continue to be valid.

Liu Xia was going to teach Che Jie and Gu Xiaoting at night, Huang Youguang said without hesitation: "You can't leave the campus today, there is no room for debate on this matter, Liu Xia, I know you are indeed going to teach two high school seniors. Make up lessons, but I will not let you leave today, afterward, their family members will understand your behavior today, and you, will also understand me."

Liu Xia didn't know what to do anymore. The news broadcast of the Central People's Broadcasting Station was playing in the tape recorder. The action of the college students in Kyoto had been upgraded to a sit-in hunger strike. There must be one in Jiangcheng, and now they are being watched by the teacher, and they can't even leave the dormitory building. .

Liu Xia really wanted to participate in such an event to prove that he was also a passionate and passionate contemporary college student. Even if he just walked among the crowds of other schools, he felt at ease that no one noticed him.

Huang Youguang cut off his thoughts cleanly, but Liu Xia couldn't resent him. Huang Youguang was his good teacher and helpful friend.

Liu Xia considers himself a very ordinary student, but Huang Youguang has taken good care of him since the special one-on-one lecture in his freshman year. In various practical classes, Liu Xia can always get more hands-on opportunities, although opportunities for heart-to-heart talks Not many, but every time Liu Xia talked with Huang Youguang, he felt that he had benefited a lot. He could feel Huang Youguang's appreciation and care for him from the bottom of his heart.

For such a teacher, if one wanted to doubt his motives and purpose, Liu Xia would feel that he was a heartless bastard.

At breakfast on Tuesday, the school announced through the radio: classes are temporarily suspended, and students stay in their dormitories except for meals, and are not allowed to visit each other.

Almost all the teachers in the school were dispatched, divided into groups, and were on duty in the dormitory building 24 hours a day.

On this day, Liu Xia and several other people in the dormitory began to become restless. Liu Xia thought, they are not allowed to go out anyway. Isn’t it good to read English books?

He took out the English original books that Huang Youguang lent him to read, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't concentrate on the books.

In the evening, the news on the radio made them more and more excited, so excited that when Wednesday the school continued to refuse their request to leave the campus, the students were a little outraged.

But the school still did not make any compromise.

Zhang Fusheng, Liu Xia and the others discussed and wanted to unite with other dormitories. They just rushed out. If the teachers intercepted them head-on, they just tried to escape without fighting back.

After listening to the news on the radio, Liu Xia also felt very dissatisfied with the school leaders, but he really couldn't do it if he directly confronted the teachers he respected from the bottom of his heart.

Hei Deqing and Sha Yonghe also expressed that they would not have a direct confrontation with Han Tong and other professors. If nothing else, running out at them would incur punishment for the teachers, and they would not be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts.

As Zhang Fusheng was talking, he was actually bored first. With his soft heart, he probably would have retreated as soon as he saw Han Tong's arm covered in red envelopes from mosquito bites.

In the early morning, it started to rain, and when it was dawn, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Returning to the dormitory after breakfast, Liu Xia sitting on his bed was not pleasant anyway, he couldn't read the book, Yun Jian told him to go down and dance, but he couldn't cheer up, and when he was irritated and wanted to yell a few times, Teacher Qi Come in and hand him a letter.

As soon as Liu Xia got the letter, all his problems automatically healed, and he happily sat cross-legged on the pillow to read the letter.

The letter is very thick, and it came from home. Now, Mao’er’s letter is much thicker than Liu Kui’s. The content of his letter has not increased too much, but he has always written with a brush, which is definitely cheaper than writing with a pen. Paper.

Liu Kui said that the wheat at home has been harvested, and the harvest is not bad. The average size of an acre of land is about 110 catties. The corn has been interplanted before the wheat harvest. I hope that the weather will be good in the coming days and there will be a good harvest this autumn. In this way, it will not be so embarrassing for them to apply for relief food.

Because cats will write letters to Liu Xia by themselves, and every time Liu Kui writes a letter to Liu Xia in general, he will say a few words about cats. Without exception, cats are very good, can eat, drink, play and sleep.

This time it’s still the same, but there is an extra sentence at the end: The child writes the number on the calendar every day. At first, my uncle and my mother didn’t understand what it meant, and he refused to say it when we asked him. Now we all understand. That's the countdown to your days at home for the holidays.

Mao'er's letter also confirmed Liu Kui's words, he said:

Uncle, there are still 30 days before you come back. When I woke up and looked at the calendar, my grandma said, "Cat, don't dare to smile anymore, baby. If you smile again, you will grin behind your ears and you won't be able to come back."

I don't think I'm smiling, but the whole family says I'm grinning all the time, but I'm really happy, happy, uncle, you're finally coming back soon.

I miss you every day, and I miss you even more when I know you are coming back soon, uncle, you also miss me every day, you have to come back soon!

Liu Xia read Mao'er's letter over and over again, and Yun Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore on the opposite bed: "Qi'er, don't dare to laugh anymore, if you laugh again, your mouth will be behind your ears and you won't be able to come back, then I'm sorry for your white teeth, and you will have to accept the wind and rain of nature every day in the future, without even a place to hide."

Liu Xia put the letter away, and took out Mao'er's previous letters and a bunch of photos: "Cut, are you jealous? Without a cute little nephew like my cat, would you be bored?"

Hei Deqing said: "Qi'er, you can't show off your happiness like this, as if those of us who don't have nephews should cut open our stomachs to thank the world."

Liu Xia raised his tall Erlang legs, looked at a photo of a cat standing beside a white stone pillar in the National Memorial Garden, and said: "At least, life without a little nephew is not perfect."

Sha Yonghe said slowly: "Not necessarily, there are many kinds of happy life!"

Liu Xia said, "For example?"

Sha Yonghe said: "The Buddha said, you can't say it, you can't say it."

Mao Jianyong said: "For example, in our boss's mind, the life of being a cow and a horse for our sister-in-law Qiao is the happiest life."

Zhang Fusheng chuckled and didn't speak. He found Qiao Yanfang during breakfast today and knew that she didn't plan to go out today, so he was in a very good mood.

The school has less strict restrictions on the fourth grade students who are about to graduate. If you really ask for leave, you can go out after writing a note, but you must return to school before eleven o'clock in the evening. Qiao Yanfang and a large group of fourth grade students go out every day with people from Jiangcheng University* *, it's raining today, a day of truce.

Because of the letter from home, Liu Xia spent a pleasant day. In the afternoon, he simply didn't think about anything and started to concentrate on learning English. But at night, Zhan Wei asked Huang Youguang a sentence, which made Liu Xia's heart cold: "Mr. Huang, in this situation , can the English grading test be carried out on time?"

Huang Youguang shook his head: "I don't know, I think it might not be possible. These days, the normal teaching order of almost all colleges and universities has been broken. You have also heard that the trend is getting worse in Kyoto. Under such circumstances, who would have thought of it?" About the grade exam?"

Sha Yonghe, who had been relatively calm for several days, suddenly said: "Why do I feel that this is a bit wrong? Think about what Teacher Huang told us on Saturday night. How long do they want to sit and protest like this? What is the purpose? Which leader would agree to what they asked for on the spot? Take a step back and say, the leader agreed, so, what does that mean?"

Huang Youguang looked at Sha Yonghe approvingly: "You can see these problems by yourself, it's worth the delay of these few days of class."

After being reminded by Sha Yonghe, Liu Xia also slowly figured out the meaning:

"The purpose of our operation this time is actually to rule the country by law, not by people. If out of consideration for the current special situation, the leaders decide to arrest those corrupt officials on the spot instead of going through due legal procedures To sanction those people, isn't his behavior exactly the behavior we demanded to be completely abolished and severely punished this time?

Then, what we ask them to do and promise, and our original purpose of holding this event, isn't it a paradox? "

He Deqing scratched his head: "That's right, if the higher-ups agree, shouldn't we protest more? But if the higher-ups don't agree," he pointed to Mao Jianyong's tape recorder, which was reporting related news: "Then, then... I I don't know what to say."

Several people were lost in thought.

Huang Youguang clapped his hands a few times: "Boys, I'm very happy for you. You have finally learned to think for yourself, instead of being blinded by those seemingly righteous and gorgeous remarks that can't withstand a light blow."

Maybe it's the rainy day that calms people down, maybe it's too long and the repeated broadcast of the same news has drained the enthusiasm of the young college students, maybe it's because many people figured it out by themselves like a few people in 219, Thursday, surveying and mapping The college has resumed normal teaching,

When this student movement that shocked the world was completely over, the prescribed time for the English grading test had passed, and the school wrote an official announcement: the English grading test will be postponed until after the summer vacation, and the specific time will be notified by the higher authorities.

When Liu Xia and Zhan Wei saw the announcement, they said neatly: "Damn, how will you spend this summer vacation?"

When the school teaching order is fully restored and the course progress catches up with the planned progress, it is time to prepare for the final exam. In addition to the intense preparation for the exam, the topic of going to Haidu during the summer vacation was brought up again by Mao Jianyong.
