take a break

experience, the twists and turns of studying, the history and development of No. [-] Middle School in H City...

The three juniors listened with gusto and asked questions from time to time.

The box looked happy.

Later, Wu Jianguo talked about his favorite calligraphy.

He praised Li Xue for his good handwriting and encouraged him to keep practicing.

"Principal Wu, have you seen Chen Shuhua's handwriting?" Li Xuesheng asked Wu Jianguo.

"No." Wu Jianguo shook his head and asked, "His handwriting is also very good?"

Li Xuesheng nodded and said, "Not only does he write well, but he also has a special skill - lettering."

"Oh?" Wu Jianguo suddenly became interested.

Shen Yixuan also looked at Chen Shuhua curiously.

"How do you know how to engrave characters?" Wu Jianguo asked Chen Shuhua.

"There is a grandfather in our orphanage who is good at this. I learned from him when I was 6 years old. However, I am not good at learning." Chen Shuhua said modestly, "I want to catch up with his old man, I have to practice. many years."

12. First move...

Li Xuesheng took out a cuboid stone seal from his schoolbag, and turned the side engraved with "Li Xuesheng" to Wu Jianguo.

"Let's see how well this word is engraved."

Wu Jianguo took the seal and looked at it carefully, and said, "I don't know seal cutting, so I can only evaluate it from the perspective of calligraphy. The calligraphy of this character is bold and elegant, very good!"

Li Xuesheng raised his eyebrows at Chen Shuhua, who blushed shyly.

"Oh...you two, you are amazing!"

Wu Jianguo returned the seal to Li Xuesheng, expressing emotion.

"I am honored to have students like you!"

"Principal Wu, you are so honored! It is our honor to be able to enter the 'City Middle School'." Chen Shuhua said modestly, "You and Vice President Shen have given us such a good learning opportunity, and we will definitely come here with excellent grades. Repay your kindness!"

"Okay!" Wu Jianguo patted the table again and said, "To tell you the truth, I have always had a wish that has not come true so far. I hope you two can help me realize this wish."

"Tell me." Chen Shuhua put on an attitude of listening attentively.

"The college entrance examination system has been implemented for so many years, and our school has never produced a provincial champion. If you both become champions in both literature and science, it will be the eternal glory of our school."

Wu Jianguo looked back and forth expectantly at Chen Shuhua and Li Xuesheng who were sitting on either side of him.

Chen Shuhua looked at Wu Jianguo in surprise, he didn't expect the principal to have such high expectations of him.

Li Xuesheng has always taught him: don't aim too high, don't waste time on unrealistic fantasies about the future.Be down-to-earth and do everything in front of you.

He never thought about becoming the provincial champion.

Chen Shuhua cast his eyes on Li Xuesheng and asked him with his eyes.

Li Xuesheng cleared his throat and said, "Principal Wu, Chen Shuhua and I will both choose science. We can't guarantee whether we can become the province's champion in science. However, we will do our best to do it, and hope to have a Good result."

"Xuesheng, you have a brilliant literary talent, and you are more suitable for liberal arts." Wu Jianguo persuaded.

Li Xuesheng shook his head and said, "I prefer science, and so does Chen Shuhua."

Wu Jianguo felt a little regretful, but it was inconvenient to force the two children.

"It's good if you both choose science. In that case, you'll have a better chance of being the champion."

"Principal Wu, I have a request, I hope you can agree to it." Li Xuesheng looked at Wu Jianguo and said earnestly.

"Tell me." Wu Jianguo stared at Li Xuesheng

"I don't want to be disturbed by the media, I hope the school can provide me with a clean learning environment."

Wu Jianguo looked at Li Xuesheng, and couldn't believe that an 8-year-old child could think of such a question.

He planned to report to the director of the education committee about the admission of the "child prodigy" tomorrow morning, and the education committee will definitely arrange for the media to come to the school to interview.

It is rare for City H to have a "child prodigy". How could the education committee and the government miss such an important publicity opportunity?

Shen Yixuan also looked at Li Xuesheng in surprise, applauding secretly for his preemptive move.

However, he found it unbelievable and ashamed that a child who was only 8 years old knew more about the domestic situation than himself, and thought more far-reaching than himself.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Wu Jianguo said in embarrassment.

"I knew it." Li Xuesheng thought to himself, "Chen Shuhua was just admitted by the 'county middle' without examination, and won the champion of the city's English competition. The mayor of Pingqiao Town can't wait to publicize it through the media so that the whole world knows. Now I don't know how many people want to make a fuss about me as a 'child prodigy'. Sigh..."

"If you want to use me as a publicity, you must have a credible score to prove it? Although I got a full score this time, it is only an internal test in the 'city' after all, and it is easy to be questioned by others." Li Xuesheng analyzed. , "If I had taken the college entrance examination, then no one would question my grades. If I was admitted to Peking University, or even won the top prize in science in the province, it would be truly newsworthy and publicity worthy."

Wu Jianguo and Shen Yixuan stared at Li Xuesheng in shock, completely unbelievable that such words came from an 8-year-old child.

Li Xuesheng looked at Wu Jianguo calmly, and sighed inwardly.

Why is he willing to say amazing words and do amazing things in front of outsiders? Isn't this forced by the situation!

Chen Shuhua looked at Wu Jianguo worriedly, for fear that he would love to publicize and show off like the mayor of Pingqiao Town.

He didn't want Li Xuesheng to be stared at strangely all day long because of the halo of "child prodigy".

The four fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the box was a little stiff.

After a long while, Wu Jianguo just looked back, his tone seemed a bit dignified.

"Xuesheng, your words are very reasonable. I will try to communicate with the leader. As for the result, it is beyond my control. You are still young, and you don't understand many things. Many times, people can't help themselves .”

"Why don't I know?" Li Xuesheng thought to himself.

He looked into Wu Jianguo's eyes and said sincerely, "Principal Wu, I am very grateful if you are willing to help me. Thank you!"

Wu Jianguo smiled, stretched out a generous hand, gently stroked Li Xuesheng's small head, and sighed almost inaudibly.

Shen Yixuan silently watched Li Xuesheng's little face mixed with helplessness and awareness, and his heart became extremely heavy.

He is still so young, so he has to face the cruelty of society independently and learn to compromise and give in.

Why should life be so cruel to him?

Chen Shuhua sat with his head bowed, thinking that Li Xuesheng might be forced to accept interviews everywhere by the so-called leaders in the future, he felt uneasy.

Although there were some dissonant notes in this dinner, overall the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Wu Jianguo's love for Li Xuesheng and Chen Shuhua is beyond words.

He ordered the driver to drive the two of them to the Friendship Hotel, and then come back to pick him up and Shen Yixuan.

"Xiao Shen, although these two children have a miserable life experience, they are capable of self-improvement. They are talents to be made. Take care of them in your studies and life in the future. I believe there will be satisfactory results in the future." Wu Jianguo urged.

Shen Yixuan nodded, but he didn't have utilitarian thoughts like Wu Jianguo's in his heart.

He felt pity for these two orphans from the bottom of his heart, especially the young but precocious Li Xuesheng.

He wanted to help them as much as he could, without expecting anything in return.

13. Shadow...

Lying on the bed in the hotel with Li Xuesheng in his arms, Chen Shuhua asked worriedly: "Xuesheng, what if the leaders insist on forcing you to accept an interview?"

"Then bite the bullet." Li Xuesheng sighed helplessly, "I've already been mentally prepared."

"Is it worth bearing so much pressure in order to earn money early?" Chen Shuhua frowned and said, "Xuesheng, don't push yourself like this. I have the ability to support you. I promise you!"

"What are you thinking?" Li Xuesheng gave Chen Shuhua a shudder with a smile, and said, "I don't feel any pressure, I'm just not used to it."

"Don't do it if you're not used to it!" Chen Shuhua said loudly, "I don't want you to force yourself!"

Li Xuesheng was stunned for a moment, looked directly into Chen Shuhua's eyes, and said: "People must learn to adapt to society, not let society adapt to you. Especially people like us who have no background and no one to rely on, we must learn to endure humiliation. This It’s only a small matter, with your virtue, how can you do big things in the future?”

"I don't want to do big things!" Chen Shuhua's eyes were red, and he said wronged, "I just want to be with you, eat enough, and wear warm clothes!"

"Look at your potential!" Li Xuesheng glared at Chen Shuhua reproachfully, and said, "I think that since a person has come to this world once, he should work hard and create brilliance! I can't live with that kind of mediocrity. If you are willing to be mediocre, stay away from me as soon as possible!"

Chen Shuhua burst into tears with a "wow".

He hugged Li Xuesheng tightly, crying and shouting: "I don't want it! I don't want it!"

Li Xuesheng's bones were rattling and his ears were buzzing from the strangulation.

He helplessly endured Chen Shuhua's brute force and crying, and secretly cursed himself for saying the wrong thing again.

It took Li Xuesheng a lot of effort to comfort Chen Shuhua.

Maybe it was because crying was too exhausting, Chen Shuhua soon fell asleep.

It's just that his hands kept tightly clutching Li Xuesheng's clothes, and he sobbed from time to time in his sleep.

That night, Li Xuesheng didn't sleep well.

He is distressed again,
