Ren Zhi

The restaurant outside the school was full of seats, all parents and students who signed up for their children. The master who picked up the wok with one hand spoke loudly with the little girl passing the dishes in an incomprehensible southern accent.

The hands of Chen Renzhi holding his younger brother were full of sweat, and his bangs were already wet on his forehead. They were sitting next to the window, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with dust. For a moment, Chen Renzhi felt that he was looking at Can't make out the street outside.

"Why don't you go to another place, go to the newly opened restaurant in the pedestrian street, it has air-conditioning, and there are not many people." Zhang Yue stood up, and the parents who were leading their students accidentally stepped on Zhang Yue's feet as they walked by.

"I... I didn't bring much money." Chen Renzhi leaned on the seat with one hand, staring at a grease stain on the table in a daze.

"It's okay, I'll treat you." Zhang Yue didn't seem to realize that he was being stepped on.

"Just talk here if you have anything to say, and I'll send Ren Jia home after I finish." Chen Renzhi raised his head.

Zhang Yue sat down again.

The blurry window was full of people, and their school was across the road.The middle school that Chen Renzhi is in is a private middle school. These days, gangsters always like to do some good deeds or do some side hustles to clean up their crimes.And the founder of this middle school happened to be such a person. Under the banner of No. [-] Middle School in City A, the school was nicknamed the Junior High School of No. [-] Middle School in City A. Relying on the reputation of No. [-] Middle School in City A, it recruited many good students.However, it is precisely because of the nature of the school that the teachers recruited are all top teachers in City A, so the name of the "Junior High School" of No. [-] Middle School in City A has already been established.The annual enrollment rate is the first in city A.

"Zhang Yue, what do you want from me?" Chen Renzhi looked a little impatient, the fried rice he ordered hadn't been served yet.

"When the meal is served, let's talk while eating." Zhang Yue took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed the buttons nimbly with his fingers. Chen Renjia ran over to watch Zhang Yue play a game, Tetris.Chen Renzhi also has a mobile phone, a Nokia one, which can play Snake. Because he lives in the house, Chen Renzhi's mother bought it for him when he was in the first grade of junior high school for the convenience of contacting him.But Zhang Yue's phone looks much more upscale, and it should be able to take pictures.

The rice was finally served, Chen Renzhi didn't have much appetite, he was full of thoughts about the noodles his mother made for him when he got home later, the fried rice in front of him tasted like nothing.

Zhang Yue seemed to be having a good time eating, he kept his head down and picked at the rice in the bowl, not intending to talk to Chen Renzhi at all.

The rice in front of Chen Renzhi was poked into a strange shape with his chopsticks. "Zhang Yue, if you have nothing to say, I'll leave first."

Zhang Yue suddenly raised his head, "Wait..." He put down his chopsticks, "Do you recognize the one from the third grade of junior high school, uh, forget it, it's nothing." Zhang Yue scratched his head and took the chopsticks again. Pick up chopsticks.

"What do you want to ask, who is it?" Chen Renzhi's expression turned serious. He usually makes people think he is very obedient, but at this moment there is a cold aura emanating from him.

"No one." Zhang Yue started picking at the food in front of him again, as if he hadn't communicated with Chen Renzhi just now.

"Who?" Chen Renzhi asked again, his expression made Chen Renjia beside him shudder.

"Xie Meng, it's the one who got fired." Zhang Yue replied casually.

"I don't know." Chen Renzhi replied without any tone. "Waiter, check out."

After paying the bill, Chen Renzhi's hands trembled slightly while holding the change he got back.He dragged Chen Renjia out of the restaurant, he was always polite and even forgot to say hello to Zhang Yue.

The weather seemed to be hotter than it was in the morning. The dazzling sun made Chen Renzhi a little unsteady. Chen Renjia followed beside him, winking without saying a word. He followed his brother and walked slowly towards the station.

When Chen Renzhi got in the car, he called his mother and said he wanted rice.

When I got home, the food was already set on the dinner table, "My child, didn't you say you want to eat fried noodles in the morning? I made the fried noodles, so I can only eat fried noodles with your father at night." It's gone." Chen's mother came out of the kitchen and brought out the last dish that had just been fried.

"Ren Zhi, why doesn't your complexion look good? Is it heat stroke?" Mother Chen untied the strap of the apron and hung it on the back of the chair.

"Mom, I'm fine. Maybe there are too many people in the car and the air is not very good." Chen Renzhi went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

"Ren Jia, see if your brother is in school, study hard, and I will send you to the No. [-] Middle School when the time comes." Mother Chen's face is full of smiles, Chen Renzhi has always been the pride of their family, even though he is just a Junior high school, but in the yard in recent years, only Chen Renzhi and Mrs. Zhang’s daughter upstairs have passed the exam, and Chen’s mother will boast about how good her son is when she meets everyone.

"Mom, bro, their playground is so big." Chen Renjia looked at Mother Chen with round eyes.

Chen Renzhi brought the chopsticks, and the family began to eat. Chen Renjia kept staring at one dish, and only ate that dish. Mother Chen taught in a low voice.

Chen Renzhi took a chopstick of shredded potatoes and asked, "My dad hasn't come back yet?"

"Your dad took senior high school chemistry this year. The senior high school teaching and research group has a meeting today. You should eat at school at noon. Don't worry about it. After eating, go to school for your evening self-study." Chen's mother put a piece of ribs in Chen Renjia's bowl, "Eat more meat, and you will know how to play in a day."

Chen Renzhi's father was admitted to the Normal University of City A from a small county in the south of the province where City A is located, and is now teaching in the No. 90 Middle School of City A.At that time, it was difficult to find a partner in the city for Mr. Chen's father who was a teacher and who came from the countryside.Chen Renzhi's grandfather was very high-spirited, and his son went to college, and he would never be able to find a rural household registration. Therefore, under the introduction of Chen Renzhi's aunt, Chen Renzhi's father, Chen Jian, met her mother.Mother Chen used to work in a watch factory, and she was a foodie. But at the end of the [-]s, the factory closed down, and Mother Chen was laid off.Although Chen's father and Chen's mother were not free love and marriage at that time, their relationship has been very good for so many years. Chen's mother has managed the family really well. The two sons of the Chen family are always the envy of the neighbors. .Especially Chen Renzhi, whoever educates their children in the courtyard always pulls Chen Renzhi out to talk about it.

Chen Renzhi wanted to help his mother clean up the dishes after eating, and Chen's mother scolded: "Boys don't touch these kitchen things."

It was almost five o'clock when I took the living expenses and got into the car. I started self-study at 06:30. Chen Renzhi was a little worried that he would not be able to make it. Normally, he would be able to get to school in a little more than an hour, but today is the start of school. What if there is a traffic jam? To do it, Chen Renzhi became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, so he stopped thinking about it and fell asleep on the back of the chair.

It felt like he had been asleep for a long time. Chen Renzhi woke up in a daze. He held his schoolbag tightly in his arms. The living expenses and mobile phone were all in a small pocket inside the schoolbag. It should be safe. He squinted his eyes and looked out the window. Chen Renzhi couldn't open his eyes under the setting sun, "Where is this place, it won't be too late."

"The next stop, South Street Crossing, the disembarked passengers have changed at the gate." The voice of the conductor announcing the station sounded at the right time. It turned out that there were still a few stops.Chen Renzhi took out his phone, it was already seven o'clock!It seems that the first day of the third year of junior high school will impress the teacher as being late.Chen Renzhi was a little frustrated. He thought about the class list he saw in the morning. In addition to Sun Xiran, there were two other people who were assigned to the same class as him. However, he was not familiar with those two people. He hoped to be assigned to a dormitory with Xiran. , Chen Renzhi thought so.And that Zhang Yue, no wonder he looks so familiar, it's not just because of Sun Xiran, Chen Renzhi suddenly felt a little cold on a hot day.

"The ones in the junior high school of No. [-] Middle School have changed at the gate. Hurry up. Sign up today. There are many people on the bus. Please be considerate of each other." He picked up his schoolbag and slowly squeezed towards the car door.

classroom door.

Chen Renzhi yelled a report in a low voice, and the whole class looked at him.It doesn't feel good to be baptized by dozens of eyes at the same time, but the person who should be giving orders is stingy to give him a little attention. Yan Hongqiu, who is privately called Mr. Miejue by the students, the head teacher who teaches mathematics doesn't even look at him. Glancing at Chen Renzhi, he just said, "Stand outside the corridor, come in after class, and find a seat for yourself."

Chen Renzhi was standing outside the corridor, and the students from the next class who were cleaning mops from the water room were walking back and forth. Sun Hao, who was originally assigned to a class from one class, suddenly passed by, "Yo~ Chen Renzhi, why don't you stand still as a punishment?" , It seems that Miejue Shitai is really not easy to mess with." After speaking, he gave Chen Renzhi an encouraging look that he thought was handsome, and whistling, he walked leisurely to the class with a broom, and behind him was a person Chen Renzhi didn't know The boy ran over to chase Sun Hao, "Finally followed you, this is Chen Renzhi, who was in your class." He looked at Chen Renzhi, and the voices of the two people became smaller and smaller.

The bell for the end of get out of class finally rang.

In fact, standing punishment is really nothing to Chen Renzhi. What he has been worried about is whether the steamed stuffed bun his mother brought him will be covered in his schoolbag. After all, the place where his back is attached to the schoolbag is already wet. .There is no coolness in summer nights.

The seats in the front row of the classroom were already full, and the seats must have been rearranged just after class started. Chen Renzhi walked to the back row with his schoolbag on his back.

As soon as Zhang Yue looked up, he saw Chen Renzhi. Zhang Yue was sitting alone. He went shopping at the school supermarket at the same table. Chen Renzhi sat down in the last row of the fourth group. Trash, he wiped the table, put his schoolbag on the table, and began to sort out the trash on the table bucket.

Zhang Yue kept looking at Chen Renzhi, watching him clean the table, watching him put the schoolbag, watching him take out the trash from the table bucket and then go to the back of the classroom door to get the broom and dustpan, Zhang Yue felt a little guilty, he felt that he was all to blame, If it wasn't for him, Chen Renzhi wouldn't be late, wouldn't be punished to stand, and wouldn't sit in the last row of tables full of rubbish.

Zhang Yue wanted to take the broom in Chen Renzhi's hand, but although Chen Renzhi looked very weak, he seemed to have a lot of strength and refused to let go. Zhang Yue saw that the veins on Chen Renzhi's hand became more and more obvious, I thought, this kid is really stubborn.

When the two were still fighting for the broom, the class bell rang suddenly. The class bell was like a switch. As soon as it rang, everyone returned to their original positions. The classroom was as quiet as the high school entrance examination bell.

Yan Hongqiu walked in, "Zhang Yue, Chen Renzhi, what are you two doing?!"
