crossing the northern latitude

Lu Yan walked home alone after school that day. Meng Tunan was with him a few days ago, but today Meng Tunan will stay and play.

When he got home, he found that his grandma was not at home, and there was only Aunt Mei who was working.Aunt Mei is said to be somewhat related to their family. She works as a handyman in the town and doesn't live here. She just comes over to cook for grandma at meal times, and the family pays her living expenses on a monthly basis.She is not bad, a typical working woman, as long as she comes to the house, she will work non-stop.

"Yanyan, your grandma went to the church to participate in the activities and won't come back to eat. You eat first, and the table is ready for you." Aunt Mei was tidying up in the utility room and didn't come out to greet him.

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Why does she believe in Buddhism and religion at the same time, what church does she go to?"

"The Christian church over there is holding an event. She went to see the excitement." Aunt Mei smiled. "I don't know what she believes in. Maybe she's just bored and has nothing to do."

Yes, everyone's life seems to be very boring.Lu Yan sat down and started to eat his own meal, without asking any more questions.

After packing up her things, Aunt Mei came out with a kimchi jar in her arms, took some chopsticks and put some into Lu Yan's bowl for him to taste.Lu Yan nodded and said it was delicious, and Aunt Mei started to talk about how your grandma's kimchi is amazing... Just as she finished speaking, she yelled, "What's wrong with your jaw?"

Lu Yan: "...Knocked down."

Aunt Mei obviously didn't believe it: "Where are you still injured? Did you fight with someone?"

In another family far away, no one would care if they were injured in a fight, after all, they were used to it.

For a while, Lu Yan didn't know how to deal with his aunt's concern, so he could only say casually: "I knocked against the wall while playing with Meng Tunan, and I didn't fight."

At this time, moving out of Montunan would be very helpful.Aunt Mei believed most of it, and went to the cabinet to find medicine and band-aids, and helped him deal with it while complaining: "You are such an adult, you have to be serious about making fights, and be careful to follow Meng Tunan crazy to make your grades drop, your uncle To tell you."

So the whole eating process became Aunt Mei's stand-up comedy performance.Lu Yan ate in silence, listening to her thoughts.After he came back, he found that the people here have a characteristic, they all like to talk nonsense... But maybe the past home was too spacious, Lu Yan now finds that listening to such nonsense is also good, there is a strange sense of healing.

After dinner, he was going to study by himself in the evening. Before going out, Aunt Mei stuffed him with a bottle of yogurt.Lu Yan slowly wandered out of the alley. At the intersection, he thought about whether to go to the river or the main road. Before he could come up with a result, an electric car stopped in front of him.

It's Jiang Bo, the math teacher in the class.The other party stopped the car and greeted him: "Go to school? Come up, I'll see you off."

Lu Yan bit the yogurt straw, his first reaction was to shake his head: "No teacher, I'll go by myself."

"Hurry up, don't block people from crossing the road." Jiang Bo raised his head to signal the tricycle that was approaching in the alley behind Xia Luyan, and said in a teacher's tone, "Come up quickly."

Lu Yan didn't seem to be polite to him, and he looked like he had something to say. After thinking about it, he could only compromise, and carefully straddled him.

Jiang Bo started the small electric motor, and asked casually, "Are you not used to school? It seems that you have conflicts with your classmates."

Lu Yanxin said that I have conflicts with people everywhere, but still replied: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

"I went to university in city B. I know that the teaching environment here is definitely not as good as yours before. I'm definitely not used to it." Jiang Bo smiled, "But I should be able to learn a lot when I come back, and maybe I will learn more when I go out in the future. Always thinking about it."

Lu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Teacher, which university did you go to?"

After Jiang Bo finished speaking, Lu Yan was shocked for a second, thinking that if he got into that kind of school from this place, it would not be easy, king.

He asked a lot: "Teacher, don't you think about staying there?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Jiang Bo replied, "But there is no way. I am studying orientation. My family's conditions are not good, so returning home can be regarded as giving back to my hometown."

Lu Yan sighed subconsciously: "...It feels so pity."

"Many people have told me that it's a pity... My former classmates either did research or gave lectures, and they all had successful careers. When I came back to be a poor teacher, it sounded like I had no future." Jiang Bo Smiled, "That's what I said, but don't think so. The standard of happiness is different. I think it's very comfortable to stay in a small place. Isn't it all about teaching and educating people everywhere! It's like you want to study liberal arts Same, we feel sorry, but you feel happy, isn't that the same reason?"

Lu Yan instantly became alert.As a result, Jiang Bo said in the next sentence: "When I was in school, there were many smart people in the department, all of whom were geniuses and had weird tempers. I think you are the same... just say that you always don't write. About math homework, I’m too lazy to talk about you, I know you can do it, but don’t be too arrogant, I’m very embarrassed! I don’t want to deal with simple things, how can I deal with difficult things in the future?”

Lu Yan scratched the seat.It is true that he is not right about this matter, but Jiang Bo's tone is naturally gentle, as if he treats you as a friend, and he is always discussing and discussing.He didn't sound harsh, so he replied: "I will write next time."

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Bo came up with another strange trick: "Don't be too resistant to science, I always feel that you are a little scared... Are you afraid that you just transferred to liberal arts? Did you fail the exam once, and you are afraid that you will lose face if you fail the exam again? "

Jiang Bo asked directly, and Lu Yan was immediately taken aback.

But Jiang Bo didn't seem to want to answer, and immediately changed the subject: "If you use the dichotomy of control...you seem to have done something stupid, but how can young people not make mistakes! Hey, do you know the dichotomy of control?"

After Jiang Bo eloquently explained the dichotomy of control, Lu Yan replied: "I can't control anything now."

"What?" Jiang Bo didn't hear clearly.They passed a farmers market, and the noise of the crowd drowned him out.

"……nothing."

Jiang Bo was right, he was indeed afraid.

What's wrong?Can't he be afraid?Maybe others can't understand him, what?Did you fail the exam?You are so smart, how bad can you be?It is said that he is smart and clever... talented, a little genius, but ever since he failed the exam, Lu Yan hated those titles from the bottom of his heart. He has worked hard, and others just say "smart" to kill his hard work, so what? What about when he makes mistakes?If they want to say it's nothing more than that, it's another ending that hurts Zhong Yong.

That year, Lu Yan was stubbornly angry with himself, saying to himself that I can learn science well, so why is it difficult for liberal arts?Anyway, now he feels sick when he sees science and mathematics, and he is physically disgusted when he sees mathematics. He might as well learn new ones to divert his attention.

Maybe it's a way of escaping.But ever since he lost the hero in his heart, Lu Yan often felt like he didn't care about anything.Who do you want to see if you do well in the exam?

To his mother who gets drunk every day?Who else really cares about his future now, and who else has expectations for him?

Later, I had no words to pre-research Du Jia all the way.The distance was not long, and they arrived at the school soon.Jiang Bo waved away after parking the car, as if he had no intention of going with him, and Lu Yan walked away before he could say thank you.

He looked at Jiang Bo's back, thinking that this teacher was a bit elusive.

He walked a few steps, thinking about something in a daze, but he was caught off guard by someone grabbing his neck from behind. The person was covered in sweat and was wearing a school uniform jacket. He probably just came back from the stadium.

Lu Yan immediately threw the man away: "It's so dirty...don't hug me."

"Why did Jiang Bo send you here? Have you finally figured out that you are going to the science class?"

"Fuck you uncle - don't touch me! You're covered in sweat!"

"Don't be shy, let the uncle hurt you!"

"Get out of your mother..."

Meng Tunan didn't listen, and deliberately kept leaning on him, and the two of them got into a ball without saying a few words.After a few quarrels, Meng Tunan snatched the yogurt from Lu Yan's hand and took a sip. After drinking it, he stuffed it back, and said disgustedly: "Bah! The taste of yellow peach is unpalatable."

Drink my shit and talk a lot.Lu Yan kicked over: "Hurry up and put on your school uniform, check the door."

The two walked towards the classroom, fighting all the way.Li Xiaoyuan happened to be walking behind them. They were all good-looking skins, young and confident, and others would look at them more while walking on the road.

Watching them drink a bottle of yogurt one mouthful at a time, she thought enviously... this must be a good friend.

I was a little dazed with envy.

In her world, there seemed to be no so-called friends.
