Although he was very curious about the cause of Wang Bufan's death, Ruan Bei knew that many people had experiences that could not be shared with others. Just mentioning it would involve old injuries, and the pain started from the heart and lingered.
Therefore, no matter how curious Ruan Bei is, he is unwilling to take the initiative to inquire about Wang Bufan's past. Of course, if one day he wants to talk, Ruan Bei is willing to be a listener.
He came to Wang Bufan for another matter.
In the past two days, he sorted out his review materials at home, and found that there were only two copies of the review outline, and several subjects added up to a large pile.
Of these two outlines, one was summed up by Wang Bufan for him. He copied one when he was reviewing and studying, and the other was organized according to his own study habits and progress.
In general, what Ruan Bei did was more suitable for him, and it fully fit his mastery of knowledge points.
The one made by Wang Bufan is more generalized and standardized, and the framework is directly organized according to the requirements of the book's major and difficult points, and then filled in carefully.
The two outlines have almost run through Ruan Bei's hard study for more than a month, and they have given him great help. Now that he has retired, Ruan Bei is reluctant to just throw it away, or put it away at the bottom of the box.
Especially for Wang Bufan, Ruan Bei felt that it was really easy to use. The actual test was very helpful for mastering knowledge points and checking for gaps.
"So, I thought, I wonder if you would like to share this information with other people."
Ruan Bei explained: "I will sign your name, and said that we can try to contact the publishing house. If it can be published, we will pay you all the manuscript fee to buy books. You can have any book you want. It is your labor income. , don't feel embarrassed.
Of course, I don't know much about publishing, and it may not be successful..."
Wang Bufan's face turned red, Ruan Bei looked surprised, it was the first time he saw a ghost blushing.
"No, no need."
I don't know whether it's excitement or shyness, Wang Bufan stammered directly: "No, no, no, publishing, I just write and write casually, what they publish are all very powerful scholars..."
"Don't worry." Ruan Bei said, "We definitely respect your opinion."
Wang Bufan calmed down and said slowly: "If you think it's useful, or if anyone wants it, just give it to him. You don't need to give me money, I didn't do anything."
Ruan Bei disagreed with his statement: "You are too self-deprecating. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about me. This information is very helpful to me."
His eyes brightened slightly: "I feel very happy to be able to help you, Xiao, Xiao Bei, you are a very good person."
Even boasting is so simple, Ruan Bei couldn't help laughing: "Senior, you are also a very good person, thank you for helping me with tutoring, I am also very happy to know you."
"Really, really?" Wang Bufan showed a green and excited smile: "Then, are we friends?"
"Of course!" Ruan Bei said loudly, "I thought we were already here."
Wang Bufan's smile became brighter and brighter. He stood there for a while, holding his sleeves with his fingers, and seemed suddenly anxious.
Ruan Bei asked curiously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Bufan said depressedly: "I don't know what I can do for you, you have already finished the college entrance examination..."
Ruan Bei was slightly startled: "Senior, why do you think so, you have helped me enough."
Wang Bufan lowered his head: "We are friends, I want to help you."
Ruan Bei was silent for a while, he felt that Wang Bufan's thinking was a bit unhealthy, he seemed really bad at communicating with people.
This kind of dedication personality is too easy to suffer in interpersonal communication.
"Senior, friends refer to like-minded people. No one asks for it. To make friends, you must make friends who are helpful to you. Finding friends with the purpose of seeking help is not pure in itself."
Wang Bufan looked confused: "Is that so?"
Ruan Bei affirmed: "Yes."
Wang Bufan lowered his head dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I used to...have no friends and experience."
"Don't tell me you're sorry. Friends tolerate each other. It's just a small matter. Let's just smile and let's get over it." Ruan Bei now wonders whether Wang Bufan was forced to jump off the building because of bullying and isolation.
But he feels that people with sustenance will not feel lonely because they have no friends. Wang Bufan is that kind. Give him a math book, and he can see the world and grow old without feeling bored.
After that, Ruan Bei chatted with Wang Bufan for a few more words, then bid farewell and left.
With the leave granted by the teacher in charge, Ruan Bei didn't go to school anymore. After the other sophomores who participated in the college entrance examination resumed their classes, Ruan Bei didn't go back. Gradually, news spread that he also took the college entrance examination.
Of course the gossip king, Dong Yangyang, would not miss the news. He couldn't wait until school was over, so he secretly sent a message to Ruan Bei to confirm.
Since the predicted results were not bad, Ruan Bei didn't hide it from Dong Yangyang, and bluntly said that he did take the college entrance examination.
So on the weekend, Dong Yangyang went directly to Ruan Bei's house, ate two of his red bean popsicles, envied that Ruan Bei's happy summer vacation had begun, and lamented that he still had a year of hard high school life.
Finally, it is inevitable to ask, is there any learning experience that can be passed on.
Ruan Bei sat cross-legged on the cool chair, posing a mysterious and expert posture: "I have a copy of the secret book."
Dong Yangyang immediately tapped one knee very cooperatively, cupped his fists and said, "Master, please teach me the exercises."
Qin Gu bit the red bean popsicle into pieces, rushed over and picked up Dong Yangyang by his collar: "Sit down!"
Dong Yangyang didn't know why, and was so frightened by Qin Gu's black face that he shrank his neck.
Ruan Bei turned his head to suppress a smile, and spread his hands towards Dong Yangyang.
Dong Yangyang: "...What do you mean?"
Ruan Bei lazily said: "The secret books are sold on behalf of others, and I will give you money."
Although Wang Bufan said he didn't want money, Ruan Bei thought that free things are often not cherished and valued, and Wang Bufan didn't realize his own value at all.
He used all the money to buy books for Wang Bufan, and bought whatever he wanted to read, so he didn’t have to keep silent because he felt embarrassed to let him spend the money.
Dong Yangyang immediately touched his pocket and took out a few crumpled pieces of change: "This is all I have, is it enough?"
"Aren't you going to inspect the goods first?" Ruan Beiqi asked.
Dong Yangyang stuffed the money into Ruan Bei's hands, and said indifferently, "Hey, whoever we are with, you won't cheat me with this little money."
Tsk, Dong Yangyang's EQ is three blocks away from Wang Bufan.
But thinking about Dong Yangyang's achievements, Ruan Bei felt that God is fair.
Dong Yangyang was really poor. He gave Ruan Bei a handful of banknotes, together with two 20-cent steel coins, which was less than [-] yuan.
Ruan Bei went in and took four outlines, mathematics and science and comprehensive subjects, which he took to copy after discussing with Wang Bufan.
"It's 20 yuan a piece, it's cheaper for you, you choose one." Ruan Bei gave Dong Yangyang a few dollars cheaper for his first business.
Dong Yangyang's physics is extremely poor. The first thing he took was physics. After flipping through a few pages, his eyes lit up: "I'll go, this is useful."
This framework is too clear, his kind of scum, according to the main framework, the fragmented knowledge he learned before feels like being strung together.
"Can I see the other ones?" Dong Yangyang took the share in his hand reluctant to let go, and took aim at the other copies.
"Yes." Ruan Bei handed it over, and Dong Yangyang flipped through it, holding on to it and not letting go: "I want it all, just wait, I'll go back and get the money!"
"Don't worry, you can give it to me anytime." Ruan Bei said.
Dong Yangyang believed in him, so he wouldn't worry about Dong Yangyang relying on the tens of dollars.
Dong Yangyang was overjoyed and looked back and forth: "This is too clear, no wonder you said it was a cheat book. Oh? Isn't this your handwriting? You sorted it out yourself?"
Ruan Bei jumped up, turned to the first page and pointed it to Dong Yangyang: "You didn't see such big characters, Wang Bufan! This was written by Wang Bufan, not me."
"The name sounds familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere." Dong Yangyang tried hard to recall.
Ruan Bei was taken aback, and quickly explained: "It was our former senior. He compiled this document. I copied a copy and sold it for him."
"It's a senior, no wonder, he must be a top student." Dong Yangyang no longer struggled, and rushed away with the outline he just got.
Within two days, when Ruan’s mother came back, she gave Ruan Bei 100 yuan, saying that it was from Dong Yangyang’s mother, and that she would like to thank Ruan Bei. The information she gave to Dong Yangyang was very useful. Dong Yangyang is now very motivated to study. , It is said that if you can learn it, you can learn it clearly.
In the end, he charged dozens of dollars more. Ruan Bei couldn't laugh or cry, so he asked the tutor before him, and bought a few mathematics books for Wang Bufan with the money from selling the outline.
When I went to see him again, I told him that he earned the money himself. Although Wang Bufan didn't say it clearly, the smile on his face couldn't deceive anyone.
Ruan Bei conveyed Dong Yangyang's series of rainbow farts again, Wang Bufan was even more embarrassed, and said with a blushing face: "Actually, my teacher taught me these things, he is really good, and I couldn't learn it before. , and the grades are not good."
Ruan Bei was extremely surprised, there were times when Wang Bufan couldn't learn it? !
He became a ghost and wanted to brush up on the questions, but there were still times when he couldn't learn!
Ruan Bei's surprise was too obvious, Wang Bufan hurriedly said: "What I said is true. I used to be... very bad. Fortunately, I met my teacher. He helped me a lot and taught me a lot. It's a pity..."
At the end, Wang Bufan was visibly depressed: "It's a pity that I'm not a good student, I hurt him."
He lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he was extremely depressed.
Ruan Bei didn't know what had happened, and he didn't even know how to persuade him. In the end, he could only tentatively say, "Maybe things are not as bad as you imagined..."
Wang Bufan shook his head, and said sullenly: "Student Qin told you, I committed suicide and implicated the teacher, so he resigned. Obviously he is a very good teacher, especially for teaching students. I am very grateful to him. In the end It still hurt him."
"I'm cowardly and selfish. I'm sorry for the teacher's teaching. He must regret having a student like me..."
His whole ghost was covered with a layer of gray-black aura, and Wang Bufan who was wrapped in it also looked a little more sinister.
Ruan Bei was scared, but still mustered up his courage and said, "No, it's not what you said, I think you are really outstanding, and the teacher will be proud of you."
Wang Bufan was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up with hope: "Really?"
"real."
Ruan Bei nodded vigorously, thought for a while, and added: "No matter what other people think, I think you are very good and powerful. Think about it, you have only tutored me for more than a month, and I only did well in the exam. If you are not good , who is the best?"
Wang Bufan pursed his lips, and finally smiled.
After laughing, he looked at the empty playground with heavy eyes. After the senior year left, even the school seemed to be a little quieter.
"I...I have something to ask you." Wang Bufan thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"What's the matter, just say it." Ruan Bei wanted to pat his chest and promise.
"I would like to invite you to visit my teacher, and say thank you to him for me, and... I'm sorry."
"Okay, no problem." Ruan Bei thought, if this is Wang Bufan's knot, he is willing to help him.
It was too late to say goodbye to Wang Bufan that day, and early the next morning, Ruan Bei and Qin Gu went to Teacher Wang Bufan's house together.
Wang Bufan's teacher's surname is Li, and his first name is Cunzhou. When Wang Bufan talks about Teacher Li, he can't stop talking, and he doesn't look like he was slow-tongued before.
He said that Mr. Li used to be a mathematician and was very knowledgeable. Later, when he was old, he returned to his hometown to teach in high school and was a very good teacher.
He said that Mr. Li has a kind and open-minded personality, and he treats students very well. He treats all students equally, no matter whether they are smart or stupid, or poor or good at learning.
It really sounds like a good teacher. Ruan Bei and Qin Gu looked for it according to the address Wang Bufan gave. It was an old community with old-fashioned tube buildings and the stairwell was full of sundries.
Downstairs, there was an old man enjoying the cool air. He glanced at the fruit in Qin Gu's hand, and before they could ask, he said, "I'm looking for Mr. Li. I'm not at home. I went shopping. He'll be back later." gone."
Ruan Bei smiled and asked, "Master, how did you know we were looking for Mr. Li?"
The old man waved his cattail fan and said triumphantly: "There's nothing you can't see. Every year, young dolls like you come to look for Lao Li. It's just that you came here a little early this year."
The uncle said: "It's good to be a teacher. Look at Lao Li, if you are poor, you are poor, and the students are thinking about it. It's an honor!"
Ruan Bei thought, it must be a respected teacher, such as Teacher Li, like his previous English teacher, anyway, I have never heard of a student taking the initiative to visit her.
After chatting with the uncle for a few words, he pointed back with his cattail fan: "Look, Lao Li is back."
Before Ruan Bei could speak, he raised his voice to say hello: "Lao Li, your student is coming to see you again!"
Ruan Bei turned his head and saw a thin old man, about sixty years old, when he saw Ruan Bei and Qin Gu, he put on a gentle smile on his face, with a good temper.
Teacher Li greeted the uncle, and took Ruan Bei and Qin Gu upstairs. He lived on the third floor, and the stairwell was very dark.
Teacher Li said: "The light is broken. I remembered to buy a light bulb, but I forgot. Walk slowly and pay attention to your steps."
There is no property in this kind of old community, and it all depends on the self-consciousness of the residents. If the lights on the second floor are broken, the residents on the second floor should replace them.
On the third floor, Teacher Li opened the door and led them in. He greeted them to sit down and poured tea for them. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher is old, so I can't remember your names."
"No, no, no." Ruan Bei rubbed his nose, introduced himself to Qin Gu, and said, "Mr. Li, in fact, we have never attended your class. We are here today because of entrustment."
"Entrusted by someone?" Teacher Li smiled: "I mean, there is no way I can't forget these two handsome boys. I really thought I couldn't remember well when I was old. Who entrusted you?"
Ruan Bei hesitated for a moment, but said directly: "It's Wang Bufan, Senior Wang, I don't know if you still remember him, he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination five years ago..."
Teacher Li was stunned, and then stood up abruptly: "I remember, I remember that child, how do you know him? He... What did he entrust you with?"
Ruan Bei saw that Mr. Li didn't have the bad mood that Wang Bufan said, so he said generously: "Senior Wang, please let me come and see you, and tell you, thank you, and I'm sorry."
Teacher Li froze on the spot, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she fell onto the chair and covered her face: "This boy... this silly boy, why don't you tell me you're sorry, I'm the one who's sorry..."
The gentle old man patted his chest and burst into tears: "As a teacher, I can't protect my own students. I am ashamed!"
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were startled, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Teacher Li is getting old, and he couldn't stand the crying. Ruan Bei persuaded: "Mr. Li, Mr. Wang misses you very much, and he definitely doesn't want you to be sad for him. Don't be sad, it hurts your body."
Teacher Li was surprised: "By the way, how did you meet him? Isn't Bufan already..."
Before coming here, Ruan Bei asked Wang Bufan if he wanted to disclose his current situation. Wang Bufan hesitated for a long time, and finally said, if the teacher asks, tell him, if not, forget it.
Now that Mr. Li asked, Ruan Bei told the truth: "You may not believe it, Senior Wang has become a ghost, and I... just happen to be able to see ghosts."
Teacher Li:"……"
Ruan Bei said cautiously: "Don't you believe it?"
Teacher Li smiled wryly: "I believe it, I believe it."
He has studied mathematics all his life and never believed in ghosts and gods. Now, he would rather the child in front of him speak the truth. His student Wang Bufan did not really leave this world.
Ruan Bei thought for a while, and suggested: "How about this, I'll go back and ask Senior Wang, if he is willing, can you meet and talk face to face? In fact, he feels very guilty and feels sorry for you. I think this seems to be his heart knot."
Teacher Li opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Okay, okay, if possible, I will trouble you, little classmate."
"No trouble." Ruan Bei smiled and said: "You don't know, Senior Wang helped me a lot. I did well in the college entrance examination this year, thanks to Senior Wang helping me with tutoring. He said that you taught him."
Teacher Li said with a smile on his face, "It's him who is smart, you are all good boys."
The two sides chatted for a while, Teacher Li asked about Wang Bufan's situation, and was very happy to hear that he was still studying.
Before leaving, Teacher Li seemed to be worried that Wang Bufan would not see him, so he said to Ruan Bei, "Please tell Bufan for me, and say it's not his fault, the teacher is sorry for him, and the finances are also very good. , is to contribute to the motherland, I did not think carefully and led him astray."
After going out, Ruan Bei looked up and said to Qin Gu, "Let's change this light bulb."
Qin Gu nodded: "OK."
They went to buy a light bulb, borrowed a ladder from the uncle who was enjoying the cool downstairs, knocked on the door on the second floor and told them to turn off the switch, and then changed the light bulb.
The residents on the second floor were unwilling to change it themselves, but they were still willing to have someone contribute money and effort. They cooperatively pulled the switch and asked Ruan Bei to change the light bulb.
It was still early when he came out, and Ruan Bei went to school to find Wang Bufan and told him that Teacher Li wanted to see him.
Wang Bufan had always been afraid of Qin Gu, so Ruan Bei asked him to go back first.
When he arrived at the school and found Wang Bufan, Ruan Bei recounted the whole meeting today with his expectant eyes.
Wang Bufan covered his face and let out a weak sob. Ruan Bei knew that he was crying.
Ruan Bei was quietly by his side, watching Wang Bufan who had no more tears cry silently, his pain was long and piercing, and he never let go of his ghost.
Wang Bufan cried for a long time, and finally stopped slowly, sobbing: "Xiao Bei, you are my only friend, I..."
Ruan Bei said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. You can say whatever you want. I promise, I won't say anything to anyone, not even sleepy ones."
Wang Bufan has never had any friends, and he has no one to talk to. He knows how sad it is, he has too much burden, and he feels tired even when he breathes.
Wang Bufan was silent for a while, his eyes were confused, and he murmured: "Where do I say it? After I became a ghost, it seems that the memory of a long time ago is clear, so let's start from the beginning..."
"I used to not be called this name..."
Before Wang Bufan was three years old, he had an ordinary and ordinary name, Wang Tao.
There is an ordinary and ordinary family, ordinary parents, ordinary family background, everything is ordinary, he is just like all ordinary children.
His parents were not well educated, and they had a fish stall in the vegetable market. They were greedy from morning to night and smelled like fish, earning two hard dollars.
Although the fish stall is small, it is also busy. To sell fish, to weigh the fish, and to kill the fish to collect money, Wang’s father can’t do it alone, and Wang’s mother is also tied to the fish stall to help. No one takes Xiao Wang Tao, so he is taken by his parents. Put it next to the fish stall.
At the age of three, Wang Tao went to kindergarten and learned numbers from literacy books. Every day he listened to his parents selling fish to settle accounts, his little head turned rapidly.
He likes those numbers, he likes to count, it is very interesting and easy for Xiao Wang Tao.
One day, when Mum Wang was away and Dad was selling fish, Wang Tao calculated the price first as usual, but Dad Wang calculated the price differently after using the calculator.
Wang Tao reminded his father that he made a wrong calculation in a low voice, and his father said angrily, "Go aside, don't delay the matter!"
The guest thought it was very interesting, and urged Father Wang: "You do the math again, I think the kid is right."
Father Wang glared at Wang Tao, and did the calculation again, and it turned out that he really made a mistake.
The guest boasted: "Your doll is really amazing, maybe you are a genius."
Father Wang kept this sentence in his heart. After the guests left, he asked Wang Tao a few arithmetic addition and subtraction problems. It turned out that his three-year-old son could do mental calculations faster than he could with the calculator.
Father Wang was surprised and delighted, and he told his wife when he turned around. The couple were so happy that they wanted to test Wang Tao's IQ, but when they heard that there would be a fee, they backed off.
However, since then, Wang Tao has become the human flesh calculator of his own fish stall. Father Wang shows off and usually asks his son to help him settle accounts and collect money at the fish stall.
There is no need to go to kindergarten, his son is a genius, what can the kindergarten teacher teach, and it is a waste of money, the tuition is extremely expensive.
Wang Tao became a well-known little child prodigy in the vegetable market. Many people came to his stall to buy fish. The family business was good, and Wang's father and mother Wang were delighted every day.
The two of them thought that Wang Tao's name was too ordinary and not worthy of their genius son, so they changed the name while the child was still young, and Wang Tao became Wang Bufan.
Wang Bufan was not happy at all.
He only likes counting, and he doesn't like many people around him. It's not fun to count a few cents repeatedly every day.
Many adults would touch his head and pinch his face. He felt very uncomfortable, and was even scratched by an aunt's nails once.
He told his parents that he didn't want to stay at the fish stall and wanted to go to school, but was scolded by his father.
Father Wang said: "Fortunately, I worked hard to earn money to support you. If I asked you to settle accounts, you didn't even do it. What do you think you can do? Fortunately, I have finished all the hard work. You are not happy to just sit and collect money. Disrespectful stuff."
Wang Bufan, four years old, works for his own fish stall to earn money to support himself, otherwise it is unfilial.
He became less and less talkative, except for settling accounts and quotations, he could not speak a few words a day at other times.
Wang's father and Wang's mother didn't care either, they were immersed in the good business of the fish stall.
Because the business improved and he earned more money, Papa Wang expanded his scale, rented an additional stall, and brought in more fish for sale.
With Wang Bufan settling accounts, Ms. Wang is not willing to come to the fish stall again. She has always disliked the fishy smell all over her body, so she comes less and less. She usually does laundry, cooking and housework at home, and occasionally helps when buying goods.
It's a pity that people got used to children's reckoning later on, and Wang Bufan was getting older and not as rare as he was when he was a child, so fewer and fewer people paid attention.
Wang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang's father was very angry. He wished to let his son go out to solicit business.
Wang Bufan was eight years old. Father Wang forgot to send him to school. The stall owner next to him reminded him, saying that your child should go to elementary school.
Only then did Wang's father remember that his son had reached the age of elementary school.
The vegetable stall owner laughed at him: "You are too careless to be a father. You don't pay much attention to your child's schooling."
Papa Wang pouted and said, "Isn't it just an elementary school? My son is a genius. If he can learn something in elementary school, he will be fine two years later."
Having said that, it was still uncomfortable to be stared at every day, so Dad Wang sent Wang Bufan to elementary school.
Before sending him to school, Dad Wang told him: "You have to fight for me, get used to it for a semester first, get No.1, and then we will skip a grade."
Wang Bufan didn't get the first place. Not only did he not get the first place, he didn't even get in the top ten.
He joined the class, and when he started class, he was already in the second semester of the first grade. He didn't know the pinyin taught by the teacher, he couldn't read or recognize, and he couldn't open his mouth to read.
He is good at math and can do mental arithmetic, but the math in the first grade is too simple, and the addition and subtraction of single digits does not require the mental arithmetic that he can do with a few dollars and a few cents, and he cannot separate fractions.
Wang Bufan went home with the test paper. When he saw that the math was fine, but when he saw the Chinese, Wang's father suddenly changed his face and knocked out one of Wang Bufan's deciduous teeth with a slap.
"It's a front tooth here. In fact, I was changing my teeth at the time, and it was about to fall out." Wang Bufan pointed to the permanent teeth that had grown up and told Ruan Bei.
His mind is quite relaxed, and these too long memories may be sad or uncomfortable when they are brought up again, but it doesn't seem to arouse him too much sadness.
Ruan Bei was full of sadness, he already knew that Wang Bufan's misfortune came from his native family.
He is a true genius, but also a genius destroyed by his biological parents.
Therefore, no matter how curious Ruan Bei is, he is unwilling to take the initiative to inquire about Wang Bufan's past. Of course, if one day he wants to talk, Ruan Bei is willing to be a listener.
He came to Wang Bufan for another matter.
In the past two days, he sorted out his review materials at home, and found that there were only two copies of the review outline, and several subjects added up to a large pile.
Of these two outlines, one was summed up by Wang Bufan for him. He copied one when he was reviewing and studying, and the other was organized according to his own study habits and progress.
In general, what Ruan Bei did was more suitable for him, and it fully fit his mastery of knowledge points.
The one made by Wang Bufan is more generalized and standardized, and the framework is directly organized according to the requirements of the book's major and difficult points, and then filled in carefully.
The two outlines have almost run through Ruan Bei's hard study for more than a month, and they have given him great help. Now that he has retired, Ruan Bei is reluctant to just throw it away, or put it away at the bottom of the box.
Especially for Wang Bufan, Ruan Bei felt that it was really easy to use. The actual test was very helpful for mastering knowledge points and checking for gaps.
"So, I thought, I wonder if you would like to share this information with other people."
Ruan Bei explained: "I will sign your name, and said that we can try to contact the publishing house. If it can be published, we will pay you all the manuscript fee to buy books. You can have any book you want. It is your labor income. , don't feel embarrassed.
Of course, I don't know much about publishing, and it may not be successful..."
Wang Bufan's face turned red, Ruan Bei looked surprised, it was the first time he saw a ghost blushing.
"No, no need."
I don't know whether it's excitement or shyness, Wang Bufan stammered directly: "No, no, no, publishing, I just write and write casually, what they publish are all very powerful scholars..."
"Don't worry." Ruan Bei said, "We definitely respect your opinion."
Wang Bufan calmed down and said slowly: "If you think it's useful, or if anyone wants it, just give it to him. You don't need to give me money, I didn't do anything."
Ruan Bei disagreed with his statement: "You are too self-deprecating. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about me. This information is very helpful to me."
His eyes brightened slightly: "I feel very happy to be able to help you, Xiao, Xiao Bei, you are a very good person."
Even boasting is so simple, Ruan Bei couldn't help laughing: "Senior, you are also a very good person, thank you for helping me with tutoring, I am also very happy to know you."
"Really, really?" Wang Bufan showed a green and excited smile: "Then, are we friends?"
"Of course!" Ruan Bei said loudly, "I thought we were already here."
Wang Bufan's smile became brighter and brighter. He stood there for a while, holding his sleeves with his fingers, and seemed suddenly anxious.
Ruan Bei asked curiously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Bufan said depressedly: "I don't know what I can do for you, you have already finished the college entrance examination..."
Ruan Bei was slightly startled: "Senior, why do you think so, you have helped me enough."
Wang Bufan lowered his head: "We are friends, I want to help you."
Ruan Bei was silent for a while, he felt that Wang Bufan's thinking was a bit unhealthy, he seemed really bad at communicating with people.
This kind of dedication personality is too easy to suffer in interpersonal communication.
"Senior, friends refer to like-minded people. No one asks for it. To make friends, you must make friends who are helpful to you. Finding friends with the purpose of seeking help is not pure in itself."
Wang Bufan looked confused: "Is that so?"
Ruan Bei affirmed: "Yes."
Wang Bufan lowered his head dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I used to...have no friends and experience."
"Don't tell me you're sorry. Friends tolerate each other. It's just a small matter. Let's just smile and let's get over it." Ruan Bei now wonders whether Wang Bufan was forced to jump off the building because of bullying and isolation.
But he feels that people with sustenance will not feel lonely because they have no friends. Wang Bufan is that kind. Give him a math book, and he can see the world and grow old without feeling bored.
After that, Ruan Bei chatted with Wang Bufan for a few more words, then bid farewell and left.
With the leave granted by the teacher in charge, Ruan Bei didn't go to school anymore. After the other sophomores who participated in the college entrance examination resumed their classes, Ruan Bei didn't go back. Gradually, news spread that he also took the college entrance examination.
Of course the gossip king, Dong Yangyang, would not miss the news. He couldn't wait until school was over, so he secretly sent a message to Ruan Bei to confirm.
Since the predicted results were not bad, Ruan Bei didn't hide it from Dong Yangyang, and bluntly said that he did take the college entrance examination.
So on the weekend, Dong Yangyang went directly to Ruan Bei's house, ate two of his red bean popsicles, envied that Ruan Bei's happy summer vacation had begun, and lamented that he still had a year of hard high school life.
Finally, it is inevitable to ask, is there any learning experience that can be passed on.
Ruan Bei sat cross-legged on the cool chair, posing a mysterious and expert posture: "I have a copy of the secret book."
Dong Yangyang immediately tapped one knee very cooperatively, cupped his fists and said, "Master, please teach me the exercises."
Qin Gu bit the red bean popsicle into pieces, rushed over and picked up Dong Yangyang by his collar: "Sit down!"
Dong Yangyang didn't know why, and was so frightened by Qin Gu's black face that he shrank his neck.
Ruan Bei turned his head to suppress a smile, and spread his hands towards Dong Yangyang.
Dong Yangyang: "...What do you mean?"
Ruan Bei lazily said: "The secret books are sold on behalf of others, and I will give you money."
Although Wang Bufan said he didn't want money, Ruan Bei thought that free things are often not cherished and valued, and Wang Bufan didn't realize his own value at all.
He used all the money to buy books for Wang Bufan, and bought whatever he wanted to read, so he didn’t have to keep silent because he felt embarrassed to let him spend the money.
Dong Yangyang immediately touched his pocket and took out a few crumpled pieces of change: "This is all I have, is it enough?"
"Aren't you going to inspect the goods first?" Ruan Beiqi asked.
Dong Yangyang stuffed the money into Ruan Bei's hands, and said indifferently, "Hey, whoever we are with, you won't cheat me with this little money."
Tsk, Dong Yangyang's EQ is three blocks away from Wang Bufan.
But thinking about Dong Yangyang's achievements, Ruan Bei felt that God is fair.
Dong Yangyang was really poor. He gave Ruan Bei a handful of banknotes, together with two 20-cent steel coins, which was less than [-] yuan.
Ruan Bei went in and took four outlines, mathematics and science and comprehensive subjects, which he took to copy after discussing with Wang Bufan.
"It's 20 yuan a piece, it's cheaper for you, you choose one." Ruan Bei gave Dong Yangyang a few dollars cheaper for his first business.
Dong Yangyang's physics is extremely poor. The first thing he took was physics. After flipping through a few pages, his eyes lit up: "I'll go, this is useful."
This framework is too clear, his kind of scum, according to the main framework, the fragmented knowledge he learned before feels like being strung together.
"Can I see the other ones?" Dong Yangyang took the share in his hand reluctant to let go, and took aim at the other copies.
"Yes." Ruan Bei handed it over, and Dong Yangyang flipped through it, holding on to it and not letting go: "I want it all, just wait, I'll go back and get the money!"
"Don't worry, you can give it to me anytime." Ruan Bei said.
Dong Yangyang believed in him, so he wouldn't worry about Dong Yangyang relying on the tens of dollars.
Dong Yangyang was overjoyed and looked back and forth: "This is too clear, no wonder you said it was a cheat book. Oh? Isn't this your handwriting? You sorted it out yourself?"
Ruan Bei jumped up, turned to the first page and pointed it to Dong Yangyang: "You didn't see such big characters, Wang Bufan! This was written by Wang Bufan, not me."
"The name sounds familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere." Dong Yangyang tried hard to recall.
Ruan Bei was taken aback, and quickly explained: "It was our former senior. He compiled this document. I copied a copy and sold it for him."
"It's a senior, no wonder, he must be a top student." Dong Yangyang no longer struggled, and rushed away with the outline he just got.
Within two days, when Ruan’s mother came back, she gave Ruan Bei 100 yuan, saying that it was from Dong Yangyang’s mother, and that she would like to thank Ruan Bei. The information she gave to Dong Yangyang was very useful. Dong Yangyang is now very motivated to study. , It is said that if you can learn it, you can learn it clearly.
In the end, he charged dozens of dollars more. Ruan Bei couldn't laugh or cry, so he asked the tutor before him, and bought a few mathematics books for Wang Bufan with the money from selling the outline.
When I went to see him again, I told him that he earned the money himself. Although Wang Bufan didn't say it clearly, the smile on his face couldn't deceive anyone.
Ruan Bei conveyed Dong Yangyang's series of rainbow farts again, Wang Bufan was even more embarrassed, and said with a blushing face: "Actually, my teacher taught me these things, he is really good, and I couldn't learn it before. , and the grades are not good."
Ruan Bei was extremely surprised, there were times when Wang Bufan couldn't learn it? !
He became a ghost and wanted to brush up on the questions, but there were still times when he couldn't learn!
Ruan Bei's surprise was too obvious, Wang Bufan hurriedly said: "What I said is true. I used to be... very bad. Fortunately, I met my teacher. He helped me a lot and taught me a lot. It's a pity..."
At the end, Wang Bufan was visibly depressed: "It's a pity that I'm not a good student, I hurt him."
He lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he was extremely depressed.
Ruan Bei didn't know what had happened, and he didn't even know how to persuade him. In the end, he could only tentatively say, "Maybe things are not as bad as you imagined..."
Wang Bufan shook his head, and said sullenly: "Student Qin told you, I committed suicide and implicated the teacher, so he resigned. Obviously he is a very good teacher, especially for teaching students. I am very grateful to him. In the end It still hurt him."
"I'm cowardly and selfish. I'm sorry for the teacher's teaching. He must regret having a student like me..."
His whole ghost was covered with a layer of gray-black aura, and Wang Bufan who was wrapped in it also looked a little more sinister.
Ruan Bei was scared, but still mustered up his courage and said, "No, it's not what you said, I think you are really outstanding, and the teacher will be proud of you."
Wang Bufan was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up with hope: "Really?"
"real."
Ruan Bei nodded vigorously, thought for a while, and added: "No matter what other people think, I think you are very good and powerful. Think about it, you have only tutored me for more than a month, and I only did well in the exam. If you are not good , who is the best?"
Wang Bufan pursed his lips, and finally smiled.
After laughing, he looked at the empty playground with heavy eyes. After the senior year left, even the school seemed to be a little quieter.
"I...I have something to ask you." Wang Bufan thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"What's the matter, just say it." Ruan Bei wanted to pat his chest and promise.
"I would like to invite you to visit my teacher, and say thank you to him for me, and... I'm sorry."
"Okay, no problem." Ruan Bei thought, if this is Wang Bufan's knot, he is willing to help him.
It was too late to say goodbye to Wang Bufan that day, and early the next morning, Ruan Bei and Qin Gu went to Teacher Wang Bufan's house together.
Wang Bufan's teacher's surname is Li, and his first name is Cunzhou. When Wang Bufan talks about Teacher Li, he can't stop talking, and he doesn't look like he was slow-tongued before.
He said that Mr. Li used to be a mathematician and was very knowledgeable. Later, when he was old, he returned to his hometown to teach in high school and was a very good teacher.
He said that Mr. Li has a kind and open-minded personality, and he treats students very well. He treats all students equally, no matter whether they are smart or stupid, or poor or good at learning.
It really sounds like a good teacher. Ruan Bei and Qin Gu looked for it according to the address Wang Bufan gave. It was an old community with old-fashioned tube buildings and the stairwell was full of sundries.
Downstairs, there was an old man enjoying the cool air. He glanced at the fruit in Qin Gu's hand, and before they could ask, he said, "I'm looking for Mr. Li. I'm not at home. I went shopping. He'll be back later." gone."
Ruan Bei smiled and asked, "Master, how did you know we were looking for Mr. Li?"
The old man waved his cattail fan and said triumphantly: "There's nothing you can't see. Every year, young dolls like you come to look for Lao Li. It's just that you came here a little early this year."
The uncle said: "It's good to be a teacher. Look at Lao Li, if you are poor, you are poor, and the students are thinking about it. It's an honor!"
Ruan Bei thought, it must be a respected teacher, such as Teacher Li, like his previous English teacher, anyway, I have never heard of a student taking the initiative to visit her.
After chatting with the uncle for a few words, he pointed back with his cattail fan: "Look, Lao Li is back."
Before Ruan Bei could speak, he raised his voice to say hello: "Lao Li, your student is coming to see you again!"
Ruan Bei turned his head and saw a thin old man, about sixty years old, when he saw Ruan Bei and Qin Gu, he put on a gentle smile on his face, with a good temper.
Teacher Li greeted the uncle, and took Ruan Bei and Qin Gu upstairs. He lived on the third floor, and the stairwell was very dark.
Teacher Li said: "The light is broken. I remembered to buy a light bulb, but I forgot. Walk slowly and pay attention to your steps."
There is no property in this kind of old community, and it all depends on the self-consciousness of the residents. If the lights on the second floor are broken, the residents on the second floor should replace them.
On the third floor, Teacher Li opened the door and led them in. He greeted them to sit down and poured tea for them. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher is old, so I can't remember your names."
"No, no, no." Ruan Bei rubbed his nose, introduced himself to Qin Gu, and said, "Mr. Li, in fact, we have never attended your class. We are here today because of entrustment."
"Entrusted by someone?" Teacher Li smiled: "I mean, there is no way I can't forget these two handsome boys. I really thought I couldn't remember well when I was old. Who entrusted you?"
Ruan Bei hesitated for a moment, but said directly: "It's Wang Bufan, Senior Wang, I don't know if you still remember him, he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination five years ago..."
Teacher Li was stunned, and then stood up abruptly: "I remember, I remember that child, how do you know him? He... What did he entrust you with?"
Ruan Bei saw that Mr. Li didn't have the bad mood that Wang Bufan said, so he said generously: "Senior Wang, please let me come and see you, and tell you, thank you, and I'm sorry."
Teacher Li froze on the spot, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she fell onto the chair and covered her face: "This boy... this silly boy, why don't you tell me you're sorry, I'm the one who's sorry..."
The gentle old man patted his chest and burst into tears: "As a teacher, I can't protect my own students. I am ashamed!"
Ruan Bei and Qin Gu were startled, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Teacher Li is getting old, and he couldn't stand the crying. Ruan Bei persuaded: "Mr. Li, Mr. Wang misses you very much, and he definitely doesn't want you to be sad for him. Don't be sad, it hurts your body."
Teacher Li was surprised: "By the way, how did you meet him? Isn't Bufan already..."
Before coming here, Ruan Bei asked Wang Bufan if he wanted to disclose his current situation. Wang Bufan hesitated for a long time, and finally said, if the teacher asks, tell him, if not, forget it.
Now that Mr. Li asked, Ruan Bei told the truth: "You may not believe it, Senior Wang has become a ghost, and I... just happen to be able to see ghosts."
Teacher Li:"……"
Ruan Bei said cautiously: "Don't you believe it?"
Teacher Li smiled wryly: "I believe it, I believe it."
He has studied mathematics all his life and never believed in ghosts and gods. Now, he would rather the child in front of him speak the truth. His student Wang Bufan did not really leave this world.
Ruan Bei thought for a while, and suggested: "How about this, I'll go back and ask Senior Wang, if he is willing, can you meet and talk face to face? In fact, he feels very guilty and feels sorry for you. I think this seems to be his heart knot."
Teacher Li opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Okay, okay, if possible, I will trouble you, little classmate."
"No trouble." Ruan Bei smiled and said: "You don't know, Senior Wang helped me a lot. I did well in the college entrance examination this year, thanks to Senior Wang helping me with tutoring. He said that you taught him."
Teacher Li said with a smile on his face, "It's him who is smart, you are all good boys."
The two sides chatted for a while, Teacher Li asked about Wang Bufan's situation, and was very happy to hear that he was still studying.
Before leaving, Teacher Li seemed to be worried that Wang Bufan would not see him, so he said to Ruan Bei, "Please tell Bufan for me, and say it's not his fault, the teacher is sorry for him, and the finances are also very good. , is to contribute to the motherland, I did not think carefully and led him astray."
After going out, Ruan Bei looked up and said to Qin Gu, "Let's change this light bulb."
Qin Gu nodded: "OK."
They went to buy a light bulb, borrowed a ladder from the uncle who was enjoying the cool downstairs, knocked on the door on the second floor and told them to turn off the switch, and then changed the light bulb.
The residents on the second floor were unwilling to change it themselves, but they were still willing to have someone contribute money and effort. They cooperatively pulled the switch and asked Ruan Bei to change the light bulb.
It was still early when he came out, and Ruan Bei went to school to find Wang Bufan and told him that Teacher Li wanted to see him.
Wang Bufan had always been afraid of Qin Gu, so Ruan Bei asked him to go back first.
When he arrived at the school and found Wang Bufan, Ruan Bei recounted the whole meeting today with his expectant eyes.
Wang Bufan covered his face and let out a weak sob. Ruan Bei knew that he was crying.
Ruan Bei was quietly by his side, watching Wang Bufan who had no more tears cry silently, his pain was long and piercing, and he never let go of his ghost.
Wang Bufan cried for a long time, and finally stopped slowly, sobbing: "Xiao Bei, you are my only friend, I..."
Ruan Bei said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. You can say whatever you want. I promise, I won't say anything to anyone, not even sleepy ones."
Wang Bufan has never had any friends, and he has no one to talk to. He knows how sad it is, he has too much burden, and he feels tired even when he breathes.
Wang Bufan was silent for a while, his eyes were confused, and he murmured: "Where do I say it? After I became a ghost, it seems that the memory of a long time ago is clear, so let's start from the beginning..."
"I used to not be called this name..."
Before Wang Bufan was three years old, he had an ordinary and ordinary name, Wang Tao.
There is an ordinary and ordinary family, ordinary parents, ordinary family background, everything is ordinary, he is just like all ordinary children.
His parents were not well educated, and they had a fish stall in the vegetable market. They were greedy from morning to night and smelled like fish, earning two hard dollars.
Although the fish stall is small, it is also busy. To sell fish, to weigh the fish, and to kill the fish to collect money, Wang’s father can’t do it alone, and Wang’s mother is also tied to the fish stall to help. No one takes Xiao Wang Tao, so he is taken by his parents. Put it next to the fish stall.
At the age of three, Wang Tao went to kindergarten and learned numbers from literacy books. Every day he listened to his parents selling fish to settle accounts, his little head turned rapidly.
He likes those numbers, he likes to count, it is very interesting and easy for Xiao Wang Tao.
One day, when Mum Wang was away and Dad was selling fish, Wang Tao calculated the price first as usual, but Dad Wang calculated the price differently after using the calculator.
Wang Tao reminded his father that he made a wrong calculation in a low voice, and his father said angrily, "Go aside, don't delay the matter!"
The guest thought it was very interesting, and urged Father Wang: "You do the math again, I think the kid is right."
Father Wang glared at Wang Tao, and did the calculation again, and it turned out that he really made a mistake.
The guest boasted: "Your doll is really amazing, maybe you are a genius."
Father Wang kept this sentence in his heart. After the guests left, he asked Wang Tao a few arithmetic addition and subtraction problems. It turned out that his three-year-old son could do mental calculations faster than he could with the calculator.
Father Wang was surprised and delighted, and he told his wife when he turned around. The couple were so happy that they wanted to test Wang Tao's IQ, but when they heard that there would be a fee, they backed off.
However, since then, Wang Tao has become the human flesh calculator of his own fish stall. Father Wang shows off and usually asks his son to help him settle accounts and collect money at the fish stall.
There is no need to go to kindergarten, his son is a genius, what can the kindergarten teacher teach, and it is a waste of money, the tuition is extremely expensive.
Wang Tao became a well-known little child prodigy in the vegetable market. Many people came to his stall to buy fish. The family business was good, and Wang's father and mother Wang were delighted every day.
The two of them thought that Wang Tao's name was too ordinary and not worthy of their genius son, so they changed the name while the child was still young, and Wang Tao became Wang Bufan.
Wang Bufan was not happy at all.
He only likes counting, and he doesn't like many people around him. It's not fun to count a few cents repeatedly every day.
Many adults would touch his head and pinch his face. He felt very uncomfortable, and was even scratched by an aunt's nails once.
He told his parents that he didn't want to stay at the fish stall and wanted to go to school, but was scolded by his father.
Father Wang said: "Fortunately, I worked hard to earn money to support you. If I asked you to settle accounts, you didn't even do it. What do you think you can do? Fortunately, I have finished all the hard work. You are not happy to just sit and collect money. Disrespectful stuff."
Wang Bufan, four years old, works for his own fish stall to earn money to support himself, otherwise it is unfilial.
He became less and less talkative, except for settling accounts and quotations, he could not speak a few words a day at other times.
Wang's father and Wang's mother didn't care either, they were immersed in the good business of the fish stall.
Because the business improved and he earned more money, Papa Wang expanded his scale, rented an additional stall, and brought in more fish for sale.
With Wang Bufan settling accounts, Ms. Wang is not willing to come to the fish stall again. She has always disliked the fishy smell all over her body, so she comes less and less. She usually does laundry, cooking and housework at home, and occasionally helps when buying goods.
It's a pity that people got used to children's reckoning later on, and Wang Bufan was getting older and not as rare as he was when he was a child, so fewer and fewer people paid attention.
Wang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang's father was very angry. He wished to let his son go out to solicit business.
Wang Bufan was eight years old. Father Wang forgot to send him to school. The stall owner next to him reminded him, saying that your child should go to elementary school.
Only then did Wang's father remember that his son had reached the age of elementary school.
The vegetable stall owner laughed at him: "You are too careless to be a father. You don't pay much attention to your child's schooling."
Papa Wang pouted and said, "Isn't it just an elementary school? My son is a genius. If he can learn something in elementary school, he will be fine two years later."
Having said that, it was still uncomfortable to be stared at every day, so Dad Wang sent Wang Bufan to elementary school.
Before sending him to school, Dad Wang told him: "You have to fight for me, get used to it for a semester first, get No.1, and then we will skip a grade."
Wang Bufan didn't get the first place. Not only did he not get the first place, he didn't even get in the top ten.
He joined the class, and when he started class, he was already in the second semester of the first grade. He didn't know the pinyin taught by the teacher, he couldn't read or recognize, and he couldn't open his mouth to read.
He is good at math and can do mental arithmetic, but the math in the first grade is too simple, and the addition and subtraction of single digits does not require the mental arithmetic that he can do with a few dollars and a few cents, and he cannot separate fractions.
Wang Bufan went home with the test paper. When he saw that the math was fine, but when he saw the Chinese, Wang's father suddenly changed his face and knocked out one of Wang Bufan's deciduous teeth with a slap.
"It's a front tooth here. In fact, I was changing my teeth at the time, and it was about to fall out." Wang Bufan pointed to the permanent teeth that had grown up and told Ruan Bei.
His mind is quite relaxed, and these too long memories may be sad or uncomfortable when they are brought up again, but it doesn't seem to arouse him too much sadness.
Ruan Bei was full of sadness, he already knew that Wang Bufan's misfortune came from his native family.
He is a true genius, but also a genius destroyed by his biological parents.
