little stutter

The supermarket is next to the cafeteria, it’s past meal time, there is no one in the cafeteria, and there are still a few people in the supermarket.Supermarkets do not use cash to buy things, but use meal cards, which is a popular name, and its official name is "campus card".The school has no other stores except this supermarket, and students are not allowed to go out of the school gate. It is conceivable that the business is booming, and you often have to queue up to pay the bill, except for Sundays. Because you can go out on Sundays, you usually don’t buy things at the school, so Cheng Xin It is concluded that the boss will definitely have an impression on people who come here today to spend a lot of money.

Cheng Xin went to get some things first, and walked to the cash register: "Sister, check out! There are very few people today, and usually there is a long queue."

The cashier was a woman in her 30s. She scanned the bar code and said, "Yes, today is Sunday, the day with the least number of people. It costs 13 yuan and [-] cents."

Cheng Xin took out his card to swipe it, and then said: "Sister, I want to ask you something, did anyone buy a lot of things from you this afternoon? At least more than 1000 yuan."

Chen Xin's heart rose.The cashier lady stopped: "More than 1000 yuan? No."

Chen Xin's heart sank again, didn't she spend it here?Cheng Xin asked again: "Then do you have the impression that you have swiped a card with a balance of more than 1000 yuan?" Under normal circumstances, students charge 100 or [-] yuan, and recharge when they run out. Few people charge thousands of dollars at a time. One yuan, if someone comes to swipe the card, the boss should have an impression.

"This afternoon?" The cashier lady thought for a while, "I seem to have a little impression."

Chen Xin's heart was raised again, and Cheng Xin continued to ask: "Then elder sister, do you still remember who brushed it? Boy or girl?"

The cashier lady said, "It seems to be a boy."

Cheng Xin asked: "Elder sister, do you remember what she looks like?"

The cashier lady shook her head: "I don't remember that. There are two to three thousand students in the school. How can I remember all of them. Why do you ask this?"

Cheng Xin didn't hide anything, and said directly: "My friend lost a card today, and there was more than 1000 yuan in the card. When I went to report the loss, I found that the money was almost wiped out. This is his living expenses for a semester, so I I want to find the person who picked up his card."

The cashier lady turned her eyes to Chen Xin, and found that the child had obviously just cried, and her eyes were red and swollen. Chen Xin was good-looking, wearing glasses, and looked like a very quiet and obedient student. The eldest sister couldn't help feeling sympathetic: "Really Yeah? That’s too much. But I really don’t remember who it was, but a few strokes cost hundreds of dollars today.”

Cheng Xin asked, "Did the same person buy it?"

The eldest sister thought about it and shook her head: "It's not the same person who bought it."

Cheng Xin sneered, but he was very thoughtful. He was afraid that the target would be too big, so he knew how to spread it out. Looking back, he saw Chen Xin's pale face showing a bewildered expression. He comforted him and said, "It's okay, we can find it. The supermarket If there is a monitor installed in it, we will find out later and have a look.”

The cashier said: "I can't show you this, the monitoring is from the school."

Cheng Xin nodded clearly: "I understand. Let's go tell the teacher, let's go." The latter sentence was to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin followed out of the supermarket: "What, what should I do?"

"Let's go to the teacher. Don't worry, since it was spent at the school, we will definitely find someone." Cheng Xin comforted him.

Chen Xin was still very worried that even if he found someone, he would not get his money back.Cheng Xin stretched out his hand and rubbed Chen Xin's head. He hadn't touched it for a long time, and he missed the feeling a bit: "Okay, don't think too much, I will help you find a solution for this matter, and I will definitely give you the money back, you Just study with peace of mind, isn't there two days left for the exam?"

Chen Xin showed Cheng Xin a thoughtful smile, which made Cheng Xin feel a little uncomfortable, he likes to see his sincere, happy smile, not this kind of wry smile: "Okay, don't think too much about it. let's go."

During the self-study last night, they found Fang Juan and explained the whole story of Chen Xin losing his card and being stolen. Fang Juan frowned: "I see, I will issue a certificate for you, and you can go and get it tomorrow." The card will be reissued. This incident is too bad, I will report it to the school immediately and investigate the whole incident thoroughly. Don't worry, your loss will be compensated."

Hearing what the teacher said, Chen Xin finally let go of her hanging heart.

Fang Juan handed the certificate to Chen Xin, and said, "Go back to the classroom."

Chen Xin left, while Cheng Xin stayed: "I'll watch the video with you."

Fang Jun said, "What are you going to do? Go back to class!"

Cheng Xin didn't leave: "Maybe I know those people who swiped their credit cards, lest you ask the teachers in other classes to identify them one by one."

Fang Juan ignored him: "I have to report this to the principal first, and then I can adjust the surveillance to see it. Do you think you can find it at a glance? It has been several hours in the afternoon. When did you see that you didn't sleep at night? Go back !"

Cheng Xin said: "I promised Chen Xin that I would help him find the person who stole the brush."

"It's fine if I help him find it. It's none of your business. Go back and study quickly. The exam is coming soon." Fang Juan waved away.

Cheng Xin didn't leave, but stuck to Fang Juan softly and stubbornly, and finally got him to agree to follow.The school took this matter very seriously. After all, it involved breaking the law, so they quickly called out the surveillance and called the cashier from the supermarket to identify it.Fortunately, the school time is relatively easy to control. Shopping is a break time. The period from noon, between classes and the time before the afternoon holiday to the meal adds up to two or three hours. Moreover, there are not many people visiting the supermarket on weekends, and the goals are relatively small. easy to find.

Cheng Xin looked at the picture intently. Around 12:30, a group of boys entered the supermarket. They bought a lot of things in baskets, and then asked a person to check out. During the checkout, a boy brought something over.The cashier lady pointed to the screen and said, "Yes, this is it. I remembered that this student bought something worth about 200 yuan, and the balance in his card is more than 1000 yuan."

Fang Juan quickly zoomed in on the video, and Cheng Xin recognized it at a glance: "This guy is from class one, and he played basketball with me before. I don't know his name." My personal impression is particularly deep, even if the man on the screen is a substitute, I still have an impression.

Fang Juan asked, "Is it Class One, Senior One?"

Cheng Xin nodded: "Yes. Go back and see if there is Wu Zhiyuan among those who came in with him?"

Fang Juan played it back, and there really was Wu Zhiyuan in the group.They continued to look down, and during the noon break, they came to buy things four times, and different people came to buy each time.I also came once during the break of the fifth class, and then bought two more times during the break after the sixth class, and never came again.

Everything has come to light, and the rest is to see how the school handles it.Cheng Xin hated him so much that he wished he could find Wu Zhiyuan, a bitch, and beat him to the hospital.Fang Juan obviously understood Cheng Xin's mood very well, he warned Cheng Xin not to interfere any more, the school would deal with this matter and sent him away.When Cheng Xin went back, he found that the evening self-study was over. He rushed back to tell Chen Xin the truth. When Chen Xin heard that he had found someone, he was excited but also a little worried. Wu Zhiyuan's people were obviously not a group of talkative people: "Then , Can I get my money back?"

Cheng Xin went to the bed in a happy mood: "It is necessary! From the tone of the dean, this matter is very serious, and there may be punishment."

"Re-remember the demerit?" Chen Xin was a little uneasy, as long as she paid her own money, it would be too serious if she had to be punished.

Cheng Xin squinted at him: "I don't understand the law. Brother Jun said that this is called illegal embezzlement of other people's property, and the amount is not small. It deserves sympathy, let alone that bitch Wu Zhiyuan!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Xin was relieved.Chen Xin lost her card and settled down with Cheng Xin.In fact, he never understood why Cheng Xin ignored him before. When he lost his card, Cheng Xin was so enthusiastic and proactive to help him. Did not follow up.But being able to reconcile with Cheng Xin, Chen Xin finally felt at peace in his heart. These days Cheng Xin ignored him. Although he tried his best not to mind, it was impossible to not mind at all.So I slept a little more solidly this night.

When having breakfast the next day, Chen Xin took the certificate issued by his teacher to renew the card, but they said that there is no new card for the time being, and they are purchasing, and it will take two days to wait.Chen Xin was full of disappointment. If she had to wait for two days, she would not be able to eat. There were still a few eggs brought by grandma, so breakfast was fine. What about lunch, evening, and tomorrow?

Chen Xin thought he still had to go to the teacher. He walked towards the entrance of the cafeteria, but was stopped by Cheng Xin: "Why did you leave without eating? Have you got your card yet?"

Chen Xin glanced at him and lowered her eyes: "No, no. I'll go back and eat eggs."

"A few eggs are enough?" Cheng Xin tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go and have breakfast, I'll treat you."

Chen Xin didn't want to spend other people's money, he said, "Forget it, let me borrow it from you."

Cheng Xin knew that he had strong self-esteem: "Okay, just borrow my card. When will the card be ready?"

"It's still two days."

Cheng Xin said: "Use my card before it's done. You can't go hungry."

Chen Xin weighed it up, and it was obviously more convenient to borrow Cheng Xin's card than to find a solution from the teacher, so he didn't refuse.

Xu Junshang and the others were very happy to see Cheng Xin leading Chen Xin over to have breakfast together. Xu Junshang said, "Oh, it's finally reconciled. I thought you really planned to never see each other again."

Cao Ji also said excitedly: "Chen Xin is not here these days, I don't feel like eating, and I always feel that something is missing."

Cao Ji's mouth was full of steamed stuffed buns, his cheeks were bulging, and he revealed his brother's fault: "Cut! I think you eat a lot in every meal."

Cao Ji kicked his brother under the table again, and said to Chen Xin with a smile: "I have a math problem but I can't do it. Can you teach me when you have time?"

Chen Xin looked up at Cao Jiyou, then nodded, "I, I'll take a look first."

Cao Ji looked at Cheng Xin again: "By the way, Brother Xin, our monthly exam seats are all lined up, and we sit interspersed with the sophomores."

Cao Ji said: "Damn it! How do you test this?"

Cao Ji also said: "Three grades take the exam at the same time. After the exam, they will have a monthly vacation. The senior three go to the laboratory and conference room. We have nowhere to go, so we can only arrange it this way."

Cheng Xin said indifferently: "I heard Brother Jun mention it, you can arrange it however you want, hurry up and take the exam, and you will have a holiday after the exam."

Chen Xin remembered that she had promised to copy the answers to Cheng Xin, so wouldn't it be impossible for him to copy them?Can't the seat be changed again?Thinking of this, he turned to look at Cheng Xin.Cheng Xin looked calm, as if nothing happened.

Before the math class in the morning, Fang Jun told Chen Xin that the school had already found out the person who picked up his card, and ordered the other party to compensate for the money spent. They promised to pay the money, but they would not give him the money until the monthly leave was over. , because there is no money at the end of the month.When Chen Xin heard the news, she was a little overjoyed. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to ask her family for money to fill the vacancy.

Chen Xin told Cheng Xin as soon as she got the news: "They promised to pay me money, and they will pay me when I'm on vacation. Thank you!"

Cheng Xin looked at the relaxed smile on his face, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "I said I will definitely get it back." He thought: It's right to smile like this.

Chen Xin didn't resent him rubbing his head this time.

The day before the exam, we didn't do the exercises between classes. Everyone gathered on the playground to listen to the principal's lecture, rectify their thinking and style, and focused on the bad incident of picking up the campus card and swiping it. They criticized some students for their moral corruption without naming them. Announced that the school has set an upper limit for the amount of campus pass, a maximum of [-] swipes at a time, and a password must be entered for the excess.Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Standing last in the line, Cheng Xin yawned lazily, why did he go so early, it's an afterthought.The headmaster began to lecture in the same way. He turned his head and looked back boredly, and found that Fang Juan was talking with a male teacher standing under the stands. Cheng Xin had very good eyesight, and he recognized that person as the teacher opposite Fang Juan's house.Cheng Xin's yawn stopped in the middle. He remembered the Tanmei novel he read on Fang Juan's computer. Girlfriend from elementary school to university, although he doesn't have a girlfriend now, it doesn't mean he is gay.However, at this moment Cheng Xin had some doubts about Fang Juan's sexual orientation, especially when he was talking to the male teacher with such an unreserved smile, it was almost a bit lewd.

Cheng Xin patted Lin Chaoran who was standing in front of him: "Hey, fat man, do you know the teacher who is talking to Brother Jun?"

Lin Chaoran turned his neck and looked back: "Oh, Zhou Song, the class teacher of the second and third grades of high school, teaches Chinese."

"What's his origin?" Cheng Xin asked.

Lin Chaoran said: "I was transferred from the first middle school. I heard that he is a very good teacher. He is very knowledgeable, citing classics, humorous and funny, and the class is very lively. It is said that the popularity will surpass that of Brother Jun and he will become the most popular teacher in the school. I also hope that He can teach us, don’t always let those old men abuse us.” Their Chinese teacher came out of No. 40 Middle School and is in his [-]s. In fact, the teaching level is not bad and he has rich experience, but the class is a bit boring, and the students like it. Lively and funny teacher.

Cheng Xin was a little surprised when he heard this. He was able to capture the hearts of students in less than a month, which shows that the teacher's level is really good.But Fang Juan taught mathematics, and he taught second-year Chinese in high school, and he couldn't get along with each other. The more they looked at it, the more they had problems.There was still one thing Cheng Xin couldn't figure out: "He didn't wait for a middle school, so why did he come to Risheng?"

Lin Chaoran shrugged: "I don't know about that. You have to ask him himself."

Of course Cheng Xin would not ask Zhou Song himself, but he felt that Zhou Song was a man with a story.

After the mobilization meeting is over, the monthly exam will naturally be held.The exam seats are arranged according to the results, from No.1 to the last.Last time, Chen Xin handed in two blank papers, and there was still one subject that he hadn't finished. The small comprehensive subject scored 300 points each. Chen Xin felt that he must be at the bottom. However, when the seat table came out, Chen Xin found that Cheng Xin was still behind him.Cheng Xin felt that he had just won the jackpot, and Chen Xin was sitting in front of him.He was not ashamed at all that his total score of 1050 was not as high as others' total score of 450. Instead, he talked to his friends about his good luck.

When Cao Ji heard about it again, he felt very miraculous, and said, "This shows that the two of you are so bound together that you have never been separated."

Cao Ji habitually retorted to his brother: "Come on, don't be crowed. It's just a temporary mistake for someone who is a top student. But God Bless Brother Xin, you should seize the opportunity and don't waste it. Nothing can get you out of your cage."

Chen Xin also felt very surprised, because the class ranking is not public, and he doesn't know where his ranking is. He only knows that he should be at the bottom, but he didn't expect Cheng Xin to be at the bottom. Xin sad?He said to Cheng Xin: "I try not to cover up during the exam, you can see as much as you can."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xin said: "It doesn't matter, I can take as many exams as I can. I will study hard in the future, and I can't waste my time anymore."

The Cao Ji brothers almost fell through their glasses. Is this the Cheng Xin they know?The sun is coming out from the west, so it's time to study hard!Cao Ji reached out and touched Cheng Xin's forehead: "Brother Xin, are you not fussing?"

Cheng Xin slapped him and said, "You're the one who's flirting."

Cao Ji rubbed his head and laughed: "It's really shocking!"

Cao Ji hugged Cheng Xin's arm again and was moved to tears: "Brother Xin, you finally turned your prodigal son back and won't change your money. I don't have to blame myself for having more points than you anymore."

Although Chen Xin was a little surprised, but not to the point of unbelievable, recently Cheng Xin's performance is really easy to learn a lot, he remembered the words that Teacher Fang told him to encourage Cheng Xin, he didn't know if it was motivated by himself Of course, Cheng Xin was able to make progress, of course he was happy, and he felt a sense of relief that he was lucky enough to live up to his fate. He also looked at Cheng Xin with gentle eyes: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Cheng Xin looked at Chen Xin's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, as if something he couldn't control was growing and spreading crazily, his whole body was numb and he couldn't speak.

On the contrary, Xu Junshang was the calmest among them, because Cheng Xin had said long ago that he wanted to counterattack and become a top student. Although he didn't take any action later, now that he said that, he must have made up his mind. He trapped Cheng Xin Xin's shoulder hugged hard: "Come on, Brother Xin!"

Cheng Xin was pulled back to reality by Xu Junshang's shoulders, and then raised his eyes to look at Chen Xin, and found that he had already looked elsewhere. The tenderness of that glance just now seemed to be an illusion, but the feeling in his heart was so real, he really He felt that if Chen Xin could keep looking at him so gently, it would be fine to let him go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​flames, so studying hard would be nothing!

The monthly exam is still a two-day exam. There are 60 people in a classroom, half of which are the first and second graders. The front and back are students of the same grade, and the left and right are people of different grades. This arrangement is to avoid cheating as much as possible. Of course, cheating in the front and back seats may not be avoided.But since they are all ranked according to grades, poor students like Cheng Xin are not much better off in the front and rear seats, so there is no value in cheating.

This time is different, Chen Xin is in front of Cheng Xin, he got here by accident, when the students around him are scratching their heads, he is writing hard, and when the students around him are looking left and right, he is still writing hard , when the classmates around him dozed off from boredom, Chen Xin was checking carefully.

He didn't forget to take care of Cheng Xin behind him, but Cheng Xin was very quiet and didn't make any small movements. The only time he tapped his back, Chen Xin turned his head, and heard him say: "I didn't bring an eraser, excuse me I'll use it." Chen Xin handed over the eraser, and the invigilator had already noticed the movements of the two of them, and seeing that they just passed an eraser, he didn't say anything.

The time for the exam passed quickly, and Chen Xin's meal card hadn't been reissued yet, and he probably had to wait until the holidays came. He had been borrowing Cheng Xin's meal card for a while.Exams consume a lot of energy. Cheng Xin has to pick the best dishes for every meal. He offers to supplement Chen Xin's energy, but Chen Xin can't refuse. Write it down in his small notebook, and say that he will return it to him after the card is reissued.

Cheng Xin found out that Chen Xin was keeping accounts, so he stopped buying food for him on his own. He has limited living expenses, and now he spends too much, so he has to save money in the future.Cheng Xin knew that Chen Xin's life was relatively simple, unlike other students who had closets full of fruits, milk and various snacks, pockets with hundreds of thousands of pocket money, he seldom ate anything other than meals.Cheng Xin wanted to give him all his food, but Chen Xin was a person with strong self-esteem. He was unwilling to accept his relief, and Cheng Xin didn't force him to accept it. Come on, it's tantamount to charity, he can't do anything that hurts Chen Xin's self-esteem.

After finishing the comprehensive essay exam on Thursday afternoon, I will be on holiday. When I return to school on Tuesday afternoon, it will take five days, but in fact it will only be four and a half days, and there is still half a day on the road. Everyone is a little dissatisfied, but since it is already a holiday, don’t think about it More, go home and play first.

Cheng Xin packed up his things, but he didn't want to leave. He used to run back as soon as he was on vacation, and fell in love with the computer and mobile phone he hadn't seen for a month.At this moment, he was sitting by the bed and watching Chen Xin take off the quilt cover: "Are you going to take it back to wash?"

"Well, I, I'll take it home and wash it. It just so happens that the weather is good, so it's easy to dry after washing." Chen Xin took out the quilt cover and folded the quilt tire.

Cheng Xin said: "It's so troublesome to bring it around, how about I help you take it to Brother Jun to wash it, he has a washing machine there, it's convenient."

Chen Xin waved her hand quickly when she heard about it: "No, no need, it's not heavy, I'll take it with me, just take it home, it's not numb, don't bother the teacher."

Cheng Xin asked again: "Where do you go home to play?"

Chen Xin stopped and said, "If I don't go, I'll just stay at home." It's March now, the weather is getting warmer, and my grandparents are digging the land to plant things. He should be able to help when he goes back.

"Where is your home? I'll go and play with you when I have time." Cheng Xin asked seemingly casually.

Chen Xin lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes: "I, my family has one, it's a bit far away, it's not fun." His family is in the country, which is backward and inconvenient for urban children who are used to modernization, especially his family is very old. Old, he would never invite his classmates to play at home, because he was afraid that they would not be able to get used to his toilet.

Cheng Xin smiled: "How far can it be, I can drive, and drive there by myself. Although I haven't got the book yet, hehe."

Chen Xin stopped answering the phone. He put away his things and checked whether his things had been tidy.In fact, the messiest thing in the house is Cheng Xin's table and bed. He seems to never tidy it up, and always throws it around. Only when he cleans up every Saturday afternoon, he will forcefully tidy it up, so that the surface can be seen. In fact, The cabinet under the bed is full of dirt and dirt, it's impossible to see, and their dormitory has never been excellent.

Cheng Xin smiled and said, "You are almost as fastidious as Brother Jun."

"What caught up with me?" Fang Juan stood outside the door, knocked on the half-hidden door, and opened it to come in.

Chen Xin hurriedly said hello: "Fang, teacher."

Fang Juan nodded kindly to him: "Chen Xin hasn't gone back yet? Sanjin, are you alright?"

Cheng Xin became vigilant when he heard Fang Juan calling him by his nickname. This was a dark history, and Chen Xin couldn't let Chen Xin know: "Okay, okay, let's go." He picked up the box and grabbed Fang Juan's arm , gritted his teeth and whispered, "Can you stop calling me by my name?"

Fang Juan suppressed a smile: "Your names are so similar, it's hard to tell them apart."

As Cheng Xin walked out, he turned his head and smiled and said to Chen Xin, "I'll go first. Be careful on your own way."

Chen Xin nodded: "Okay, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Cheng Xin dragged Fang Jun downstairs quickly, still complaining about what happened just now, "Can you stop doing this and call me by my nickname in front of everyone!"

Fang Jun laughed heartlessly.After getting into the car, Fang Juan looked at the crowded vehicles on the school road coming to pick up the children, and suddenly said, "I just forgot to ask Chen Xin if he wanted a ride. He should go to the bus station to take a ride."

Cheng Xin said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Where is his home?"

Fang Jun said: "So you don't object? His family is in Mi Town. He has to go to the county by car first, and then go back by car. I don't know if there is still a car to go back at this time. It's almost four o'clock now." The students go home early, and the last exam starts at one o'clock in advance. It takes two and a half hours to finish the exam.

"So far!" Cheng Xin looked back worriedly, "Then wait, I'll go down and call him, and we'll take him to the station." After speaking, he pushed open the door and went down, running towards the dormitory.

But there was no one in the dormitory. Cheng Xin ran downstairs panting, searched and searched along the way out of the school, but still couldn't find Chen Xin. Wake up: so fast, where did he go, I should have asked him if I knew it earlier.

Fang Juan waited at the school gate for a long time, and the cars behind were in a hurry, so he had to honk the horn vigorously to urge Cheng Xin. Cheng Xin walked back to the car slowly, and kept looking back on the school road. Reluctantly: "Didn't you find anyone?"

Cheng Xin opened the door and got in the car: "No, I'm leaving. I haven't seen it along the way, so I don't know where I went."

Fang Juan turned the steering wheel: "Maybe I took someone's ride back home. Many parents came to pick up the students today."

"Impossible!" Cheng Xin subconsciously denied that Chen Xin didn't know anyone at all, but after he finished speaking, he felt unsure. He only knew so much about Chen Xin, and he didn't know who else Chen Xin knew.

Fang Jun said with a smile: "Nothing is impossible, everything is possible. You seem to have a good relationship with him now."

Cheng Xin didn't want to give in to Fang Jun, so he said firmly, "That's it, a little stammer isn't annoying."

Fang Juan said: "You should learn from others. He got a perfect score in mathematics this time. The highest score in the whole grade!" Fang Juan was happy when he thought of this, and he finally felt elated.

Cheng Xin turned to look at Fang Jun: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Chen Xin was also happy to say it earlier.

"What did you say? He didn't ask again. All the test papers will be handed out when the holiday comes. By the way, you got 29 points! Why didn't you get close to Zhu Zhechi?" Fang Juan hated iron for being weak.

Cheng Xin didn't pay much attention to his grades. His fundamentals were already poor, and it was normal to score any number of points in the exam: "There is always improvement compared to the final exam."

Fang Juan nodded: "Yes, 5 points more than the final exam. But 8 points less than the last exam."

Cheng Xin said: "I copied it last time, but this time I did it myself."

"Okay, okay, do you still want me to praise you?" Fang Juan said angrily.

Cheng Xin was not in the mood to argue with him, but was still thinking about Chen Xin. Does he have other acquaintances and friends at school?Why have never heard of him.

Chen Xin really hitchhiked back home. Before the exam, he met Liu Heqian. Liu Heqian said that her father would pick her up during the holidays and invited Chen Xin to go back with her.Chen Xin originally wanted to refuse, but Liu and Qian gave him an analysis. It was already 03:30 after the exam. If he didn't take the bus by himself, he would have to go from school to the station, then from the city to the county, and then from the county to the town. In the end, I had to take a car from the town to go home, and I was delayed along the way. There must be no car in the town, and I would not be able to go back by then.Chen Xin thought for a while, and felt that what Liu Heqian said was right, so she agreed to her invitation, and got into the car of Liu Heqian's family in fear. When Cheng Xin came back to look for him, he was already in the car.

Liu Heqian's family used to be from the village next door to Chen Xin, but her father started his own business later, and the family moved to the town.Liu's father heard from his daughter that Chen Xin was specially recruited to their school for free, and immediately looked at Chen Xin with admiration. Parents always like children with good academic performance. Along the way, they asked Chen Xin a lot of questions, where is her home? , Who are the parents? Speaking of which, I found that Liu's father and Chen Xin's father are still classmates.

Liu's father said regretfully: "I also heard about your father. It's really a pity. It's a pity that he is gone when he is so young."

Chen Xin didn't speak.His father died of lung cancer when he was only eight years old.Chen Xin grew up with his grandparents when he was a child. His parents went out to work, and they got together less often. Later, when his father was diagnosed with an illness, he came back for treatment. That was the longest period of time that father and son spent together.Chen Xin remembered that when his father was recuperating at home after surgery, he always wore thick clothes, sat in the corridor watching him practice calligraphy, and occasionally gave him pointers. The handsome father always had a smile on his lips, but Chen Xin occasionally looked up But she would see him crying while smiling, which made Chen Xin very uncomfortable.Before his father passed away, he could no longer walk. He was sick in bed, often tossing and turning in pain, and couldn't sleep at night, but he rarely moaned, and the pain was still there when he said it, but it only caused pain to those around him.The person Chen Xin loves the most is his father.

Seeing the dull atmosphere in the car, Liu and Qian quickly changed the subject and talked about school matters.Only then did Chen Xin turn back from being sad.

Driving by himself was much faster than taking the shuttle bus. It was only after five o'clock when we arrived in town. Liu's father said he would take Chen Xin back, but Chen Xin insisted on taking the shuttle bus back by himself because there was still a car at this time.Liu's father couldn't hold back Chen Xin, so he dropped him off at the station, and Chen Xin caught up with the last bus back home. He thought to himself, if it wasn't for a ride, he really wouldn't be able to go home today. I am a little more grateful.

When Chen Xin returned home, the afterglow of the setting sun in early spring dyed the western sky orange-pink. The village was outlined in the twilight, and there was smoke rising from the kitchen. Chen Xin knew that there was a road that might belong to her home. A few late-returning birds flapped their wings and passed overhead without leaving any traces.Whose grandmother is calling her grandson to go home, her voice drawn out in the silence, and a few lazy dog ​​barks can be heard here and there.Seeing this familiar scene, Chen Xin's heart was extraordinarily peaceful and satisfied, and when he finally came back, he quickened his pace.

Chen Xin's home is in the east of the village, and the few households in the village are his home.When the neighbors saw him coming back, they all greeted him: "Xinxin is back."

Chen Xin just nodded and smiled at the other party. Some people said that he was arrogant and didn’t know how to say hello when he met people. Chen Xin was clumsy when he was young. When he was a child, he was often teased because of his stammer, so later he just laughed when he saw people and rarely spoke. If you don't speak, you don't speak.

As soon as Chen Xin arrived at the door of the house, he saw his grandfather leaning on crutches, hunched over and picking up firewood in the corridor, and he hurried forward: "Grandpa, I, come!"

Grandpa Chen turned his face, a strange smile appeared on his distorted face, and he mumbled, "B-you're back?"

Chen Xin put down her bag, took the firewood from her grandfather's arms, pulled some more from the firewood pile, and carried them to the kitchen.Chen Xin's grandfather had a stroke many years ago, and he was paralyzed. He needed crutches to move around. The stroke caused his face to be distorted, his speech was slurred, and he even stuttered.Chen Xin followed her grandparents since she was a child, and her grandma was very hardworking. She had to farm and do things, so she left him in the care of her grandpa, who was unable to work. It took a lot of effort, but they couldn't turn it around.Later, when Chen Xi was born, his parents specifically emphasized that he should not be allowed to learn the language from his grandfather, so he was always taken by his grandmother, and he stuttered even if he didn't.

Chen Xi, who was choosing vegetables in the room, heard the movement, and immediately jumped out to greet him: "Brother, you're back? That's great!"

Chen Xin nodded: "Where is grandma?"

"Grandma has gone to pick vegetables, and she will go to the street to sell vegetables tomorrow. Brother, have you brought me a gift yet?"

In the past, every time Chen Xin came back from school, she would bring Chen Xi some buns, fried dough sticks, chicken legs and other food bought from the school cafeteria. These are tasty treats for kids who have trouble hitting the streets.This time, Chen Xin's card was lost, and he used Cheng Xin's card to eat all the time, so he didn't bring any food for Chen Xi, and he said apologetically, "No, no, I was in a hurry today, so I didn't have time. Next time, I will bring you—yes, I have a present." He suddenly remembered the chocolate Cheng Xin gave him, and he was reluctant to eat it all this time, so he stuffed it in his bag when he came back.

Chen Xi couldn't wait to clap his hands: "What is it?"

Chen Xin said: "First, cook, and then watch after eating." He wanted to wait for grandma to come back and try it together.

When Chen Xin came back, it was time for Grandpa to rest. Chen Xi lit the fire, Chen Xin was in charge of the spoon, and the brothers worked together to make dinner quickly. The dishes were all vegetarian, no meat, very simple fried lettuce leaves. Shred the lettuce and mix it cold, which is more refreshing than frying.At this time, grandma also came back, picking up neatly arranged garlic sprouts and lettuce. She is almost [-], and she is busy all day long with farming and vegetables, earning some money to subsidize the family, just want to relieve the daughter-in-law. burden.Seeing the eldest grandson come back, grandma also smiled.Chen Xin didn't tell them about the lost meal card, so as not to worry the elders.

After dinner, Chen Xi had been eagerly waiting for his brother to bring him a gift.Chen Xin said, "Urgent, what, wait, wait for me to wash the dishes."

Grandma said with a smile: "Go, I'll wash." While talking, it was already washed.

Chen Xin had no choice but to dig out the box of chocolates in the bag, and when she opened it, Chen Xi's eyes lit up: "What is this? A conch?"

"It's chocolate, chocolate." The chocolate is made into the shape of a seashell, and it's not big
