That night Zheng Tong was going to pack Zheng Chile's luggage, but found that Zheng Chile was only carrying the old schoolbag brought from his hometown.She was taken aback: "The clothes you usually wear..."

Zheng Chile didn't care too much, and said calmly, "Jingze lent it to me."

It was only then that Zheng Tong remembered that Zheng Chile was really empty-handed when he came with Wei Qineng that day.Zheng Tong was only eighteen or nineteen years old when she was pregnant with Zheng Chile, and she hadn't had time to learn how to be careful as a mother. Later, because she was full of debts to Zheng Chile, she didn't dare to face her own flesh and blood.

Before she knew it, Zheng Chile was already as high as her chest, and she was no longer the little kid who cried and asked, "Why do other people have mothers but I don't".

It's just that the maturity on Zheng Chile's face that has faded from youthfulness suddenly tightened Zheng Tong's heart.

She suddenly realized that although the rest of her and Zheng Chile's lives would be longer than her father's, it was difficult to warm up the cold heart—a broken relationship was even harder to repair.

Zheng Tong stood there in a daze.

Zheng Chile quickly noticed Zheng Tong's absent-mindedness, and immediately held Zheng Tong's clothes and said, "The stationery store should not be closed yet, can you go out with me to buy something, I want to give it to two of my friends." He told Zheng Tong about Niu Ganyu and Xue Yan, "Daniu is called Niu Ganyu. He also wants to enter Huaichang No. [-] Middle School, but he is a sports student. Can I buy him a basketball? And Xue Yan , he studies well, and it will definitely not be a problem to get into Huaichang No. [-] Middle School, but he has never been willing to buy a pen, and I want to buy one for him!"

Seeing Zheng Chile's eyes looking forward to her answer, Zheng Tong's heart twitched again.However, Zheng Chile was finally willing to tell her her needs, which undoubtedly made her happy.

Zheng Tong said, "Okay, let's go out and buy."

Guan Jingze, who was always reading with a book on the side, raised his head and looked at the disappearing figures of Zheng Chile and Zheng Tong.His stepmother belongs to the kind of person who understands big things and is confused about small things. She definitely lacks the courage to make big decisions and make big decisions. , Zheng Tong is obviously very difficult to do.

In some ways, this is why she and Guan Zhenyuan get along well—both of them are obviously bad at dealing with relationship problems.

For example, just now Zheng Chile tried different ways to reassure her, but she didn't notice it at all.

Guan Jingze kept replaying Zheng Chile crying bitterly at his desk that day in his mind. Even if he made the most malicious speculation about Zheng Chile, he still couldn't completely erase that scene.

He wanted to know more and more what secret Zheng Chile was hiding.

Guan Jingze always believed that evasion cannot solve the problem, and the best way is to spread the problem and try to eliminate it.

How to get things out?

Guan Jingze closed the book and fell into deep thought.

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Jingze and Zheng Chile ran to the bottom of the tree downstairs to play boxing in a decent manner—Zheng Chile insisted on forcing Guan Jingze to learn the health-preserving boxing, saying it was good for the body.There were also a few old people who got up early and watched. Seeing that Zheng Chile had a good time playing, they ran over and joked, "The little teacher also teaches us."

Zheng Chile was honest and blunt and explained the movements to them with a small face. The posture was decent and very funny.At first, the old man who asked for advice was a little disapproving, but after hearing Zheng Chile's explanation of the essentials of the movements and the benefits of doing so, he suddenly became a little interested and started playing along.

So when Wei Qineng drove his motorcycle over, he stopped to take a look, and immediately saw a group of old men and two "little old men" boxing under the shade of a tree. It was as interesting as it could be.

Wei Qineng leaned on the car and waited until they stopped to rest, then asked with a smile, "Lele, what are you doing?"

Zheng Chile said: "Morning exercise."

These days, even a big city like Huaichang doesn’t have much pollution. The air in the early morning is particularly fresh. When I wake up early, the breeze still carries the fragrance of soil and flowers. A few small hummingbirds are sitting on the tuberose in the corner. Busy, it is very gratifying to watch.

It's a good time to exercise!

Wei Qineng said: "I think your boxing style is quite decent, and you will teach us lazybones who sit in the office all day when we go back!"

Zheng Chile was very straightforward: "No problem!"

Wei Qineng asked: "Is everything packed?"

Zheng Chile knew Wei Qineng's intention and nodded.

He dragged Guan Jingze to say goodbye to those studious old men, and then followed Wei Qineng back to Guan's house.

Guan Jingze didn't want to say anything about Zheng Chile's terrific popularity. He has lived here for so many years and has never spoken to these old men, let alone say "My grandson will come back from abroad next year" from their mouths. , "My son works hard in Hehua", "My daughter-in-law can hold up half the sky".

Zheng Chile saw that Guan Jingze was thinking, so he slowed down and whispered to him: "What are you thinking?"

"Past life" Guan Jingze was good at everything, but he lacked a bit of humanity. Zheng Chile had seen Guan Jingze's appearance when he was giving lectures, and he really didn't hold back any sympathy!Zheng Chile feels that there must be a limit to being stern and selfless, and one needs to be human in order to live comfortably in this world.

Zheng Chile waited for Guan Jingze's answer, but Guan Jingze's thoughts were still on the burst of hot air that Zheng Chile had just breathed into his ear, and it took two seconds to realize that Zheng Chile was asking him something.

Guan Jingze said solemnly: "I'm thinking that these old gentlemen know a lot, and I can ask them more in the future."

Zheng Chile: "..."

Guan Jingze is right to think so, but this idea is too precocious, right?

Zheng Chile taught Guan Jingze solemnly: "When you are young, don't act like a little old man all day long."

Wei Qineng at the front laughed when he heard Zheng Chile's words: "You are as old as Jingze, so you sound like a little old man when you say such things."

Guan Jingze nodded: "Uncle Wei is right."

Zheng Chile sneered: "Dog legs!"

Guan Jingze: "..."

This guy is sure to get revenge.

After Guan Jingze and Zheng Chile bid farewell to Zheng Tong and the others, they got on Wei Qineng's motorcycle and set off.

Near the north of the city, Wei Qineng asked: "I'm going to Huaichang No. [-] Middle School to do something. Do you want to help look after the car, or go in for a stroll?"

Before Zheng Chile had time to speak, Guan Jingze had already said, "Go in and have a look." Perhaps the old local re-looting might catch some clues.

Wei Qineng said, "Okay, I'll lead you in, and we'll gather at the gate in 10 minutes."

Guan Jingze nodded, and dragged Zheng Chile inside without waiting for Zheng Chile's objection.

What disappointed him was that Zheng Chile didn't show any abnormalities all the way, and he always looked at everything around him curiously, pulling him to stop and watch from time to time.

The two of them roamed around most of the campus like a horse on horseback, neither of them left any flaws for the other.

When Guan Jingze walked to a teaching building, he had given up hope, and said casually, "This building seems to have been used as the examination room for the first college entrance examination after Central China Province resumed the college entrance examination."

Zheng Chile said: "That's right, there were nearly 600 million applicants nationwide in that session, and schools of all sizes were requisitioned as examination rooms, and Huaichang No. [-] Middle School was the same."

He paused and looked quietly at the teaching building in front of him.At that time, he was still very young, Zheng Tong put him outside the examination room and waited for her to finish the exam, and he sat obediently under the shade of a tree and waited.After Zheng Tong came out, he hugged him tightly, excited: "I have done several similar questions, I may go to college! Lele, I am so happy!" At that time, Zheng Tong's tone was full of concealment. Can't stop being happy.

In retrospect, when Zheng Tong gave birth to him, she was actually just a half-grown girl, her life had just begun, and she didn't even know what she wanted to do in the future.Later, she matured and found the right direction, recalling the impulsiveness of her youth and the consequences of that impulsiveness-a son who was not expected, I am afraid that there is only regret in her heart?

Even though she was always struggling when facing him, she probably always refused to think about his son when she was far away from him-only in this way can she live her life with peace of mind.

It took Zheng Chile more than ten years to figure this out, but returning to the day when he was still a stranger to Zheng Tong, he couldn't help but want to leave something more: he thought that if Zheng Tong's concern could only be If it is given to "brother", then he will never expect to return to the role of "son".

It's just that I still feel uneasy in my heart.

Zheng Chile's heart was being slowed down by the memories brought back from the "previous life", but his face was full of smiles, pointing to one of the examination rooms and said: "My sister used to take the exam there, and she happened to be sitting by the window, here, Over there, there happened to be the window with a gardenia tree! She is always serious about her questions, and she doesn’t even look up when I’m outside here, you think she’s not going too far?” This is an accusation, but the tone is not accusatory at all. No, it sounds like the relationship between the two of them seems to be very good.

Guan Jingze knew that the relationship between them was not that good, otherwise they would not have denied each other later on.

He didn't like the indelible disguise on Zheng Chile's face.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's just the appointed time to walk back now."

Zheng Chile also didn't like to recall the past, so she followed Guan Jingze back.

Wei Qineng was already waiting at the gate. Seeing them walking back along the path, he asked kindly, "Where did you go? Did you see anything interesting?"

Guan Jingze said, "I went to the examination room."

As soon as Wei Qineng heard about the examination room, he immediately realized: This is about the national exam that just resumed the college entrance examination.

At that time, the two little bean dings were only so young, and they certainly didn't realize the joy that enveloped the whole country at that time.Wei Qineng was an adult at the time, and he used to watch his father Wei Changye visit various examination rooms to boost morale, shake hands with those candidates who admired him time and time again, and look at the faces that may still be full of vigor or have been very old. Speaking of my expectations for them, my heart was also infected.In the second year, he applied to be transferred to Lanshan, planning to find out the way here from the grassroots level, and completely switch to the education industry.

Unexpectedly, when he started the Lanshan Primary School, his father died of illness suddenly, and the Wei family suffered a series of reprisals.

Looking back, it is only seven or eight years since the day when he made his great wish, but his state of mind has undergone an earth-shaking change.

What changed him?

Is it really the revenge and suppression of the Geng family?

Or is it simply because he has lost the support of his father and the courage to go forward?

Wei Qineng raised both hands and patted Zheng Chile and Guan Jingze's heads respectively: "Let's go back to Lanshan."

He needed to get back to that place, to calm down and think about where to turn the rudder.

After being depressed for so many years, it's time for him to give himself and those who have always followed him an explanation.
