Chapter 8

While Yu Ren was still not ashamed to ask questions in order to make an English learning plan, Bai Maosheng had already become the focus of the whole class.People always like to say that "inner beauty is the real beauty", and adolescent children are the most loyal to their instincts-looking is the truth.

Bai Maosheng was an official hit at the school's New Year's Day performance. The children don't care about the niche schools of Yin Yuan Fanfu and Xu Wang Biqi. Looking at Bai Maosheng who is starting to grow taller, he is elegant and weak. He is dressed in a witty costume and his eyes are bright. A section of "Xiyuanji" was written.The lyrics are full of the melancholy of the scholar Zhang Jihua who can't find someone to meet. The junior high school students don't understand what the play is about. The girls frantically handed notes while watching the appearance and asked, "Which class is this from?"

Some of the school leaders knew how to play, and they didn't forget to boast after being engrossed, "This Bai Maosheng in Teacher Zhang's class is amazing." 80.00% of them are around Bai Maosheng, and this increase is just around the corner.

Since then, Bai Maosheng from Class 9 of the first grade has gathered more sisters and sisters around him, and has received more letters of love from his brothers and brothers.Although there are a lot of proficient players in the Yucai junior high school who play the piano, violin and trumpet, none of them are as good-looking as Bai Maosheng.

When Bai Maosheng was favored by the stars, he still did not forget to canvass for his deskmate Yu Ren, "Yu Ren should be pushed for the squad leader election."

If you say that this push is bad, some sisters and sisters just didn't vote for Yu Ren.Finally, the reelection of the class committee was settled: Zuo Heming continued to be the class leader.As the number of votes was shortlisted, Mr. Zhang still gave the county magistrate's daughter a face and let her serve as a life committee member who no one cares about.

So when Yu Ren was out of school, he stared bitterly at the drink cans piled up in the garbage corner and pondered the reason for his failure. Bai Maosheng was bending over to sweep the floor and sort the garbage, and his younger sister came to help, "Xiaobai, let's go together."

On the way to the bus station together after school, Yu Ren asked, "I didn't expect that I would be quite disgusting." According to her academic performance, she ranked first in the class in mathematics and Chinese, and she fell to the top [-] in English because she was a bit behind.In terms of appearance, Yu Ren is also considered good-looking.She was born with big eyes inside the curved eyebrows, but her bangs grew too long and she didn't have time to take care of them, so they dragged on her forehead.

Bai Maosheng looked at Yu Ren and thought for a while, "You talk too little." Apart from being with himself, Yu Ren had no outstanding talent in class, nor did he excel in appearance.He seems to be an outsider who studies silently and reads books by himself.

Bai Maosheng, who already knew how to dress himself, pointed to Yu Ren's sports pants, white sneakers and school uniform jacket, "You have to innovate." This word is often used by the master Wang Li, "When it's time for our Shaoxing opera to innovate, we can't do it in the old way." The play spins."

"And this hair, cut your bangs and expose your eyes." Bai Maosheng brought a pair of skinny jeans for her when he went to Yu Ren's home for "tutoring" the next day. I grow taller and can't wear it, you are just right."

Said it was tutoring, Bai Maosheng only reviewed two units and relied on Yu Ren to rest, and the two children read comics back to back.

"Yu Ren, why do you talk so little?" Bai Maosheng asked while turning.

"I used to talk too much when I was studying in the village primary school, and I was always sued by the teacher to come home." Yu Ren raised his eyes, thinking of Yu Juan who said goodbye with a slight smile under the sun, and San'er who was taken away, "Later, I felt that something happened to me. I can’t figure it out. And in the current school, I don’t know what to say.”

The classmates discussed celebrities in private, and she basically recognized them but didn't care.It was just a passing scene when the love letter was passed on to her, and the final recipient was Bai Maosheng.She also has no specialty for others to discuss, and the highlight moment is just a few compliments from the teacher, "Yu Ren did well in our class this time...".

When Yu Ren looked up from the book for the first time and took a serious look at Class 9 of Junior One, she found that she only had Bai Maosheng as a friend.

Mother Yu Xiaomin was originally worried that Yu Ren would fall in love early, but after hearing that she was just taking over the love letters, she felt relieved, and felt melancholy again——My daughter is in good condition, why is there no boy chasing her?The low-key Yu Ren received a love letter a few days later, which was actually from the squad leader Zuo Heming.The prudish genius with an eighth grade of piano told Yu Ren in the letter, "I think you are a suitable friend for me. You are deep and not impetuous, which is different from the chattering girls around. If you are willing to be my girlfriend, I will very happy."

Yu Ren didn't gain joy or melancholy from this letter, instead, she felt a vague discomfort.After thinking for two days, I realized where this discomfort came from: Zuo Heming ordered himself like an emperor choosing a concubine.Yu Ren didn't tell Bai Maosheng, and returned the letter to Zuo Heming when he was on duty with Zuo Heming after school.Zuo Heming was overjoyed, and after taking a peek outside, he found that this was the letter he wrote.

He went to Yu Ren in disappointment, "Yu Ren, are you so disrespectful to me?"

"If I really don't want to give you face, I will throw the letter away and pretend it didn't happen." Yu Ren lifted the bangs that poked his eyes, "I don't want to fall in love." She didn't say "thank you", for Zuo Heming gave her She felt that she shouldn't say "thank you" for the troubles she had caused for two days. She really had to thank him and his whole family.

In Yu Xiaomin's duty room, his mother teased Yu Ren, "Finally joined the team? As a life committee member? Don't need to count the books, what are you going to do?"

Yu Ren put down his English book unhappily, "Divide the duty schedule, and match the lazy and diligent people together to sweep the floor, wipe the table, and take out the garbage, as well as the garbage in the school's sanitary section."

Yu Xiaomin held the teacup, "Not bad, it's not unknown at all. I read the English plan, so let's do it. But the grammar system review is here. Mom is going to find you an English major student at the Normal University to help you with tutoring. You alone I can't do it myself."

Yu Ren wanted to tell his mother about his distress, why she couldn't be the class monitor, why the classmates who agreed to vote ended up voting for someone else, why couldn't she become the outstanding student in the village primary school?Although the divorce of the parents fulfilled the wishes of the precocious child, Yu Ren still wanted to be an excellent child to make his mother look good.But seeing her mother staring at the information seriously, she swallowed her words.

I can't talk to Bai Uosheng, and the number of pigeons at the same table on Saturdays is increasing.Somehow, she was able to know a large group of friends inside and outside the school.Apart from practicing opera on weekends, I just go skating, playing games or watching movies and shopping. Compared with Yu Ren, I don’t know how rich he is.Even during the lunch break, Bai Maosheng was surrounded by people. When she was chatting and laughing with people, she called Yu Ren who was beside her, "Yu Ren, come here."

Yu Ren raised the book in his hand and waved his hands, looked down but couldn't read a word - Bai Maosheng gradually ceased to be her friend alone, and inexplicable loneliness and fear lingered in her heart.

"Some girls are just too noble." Zuo Heming's voice came from not far away, with disdain in his tone.

It is said that youth is in a hurry. Yu Ren, who is only in the first grade of junior high school, has not had time to taste youth, so he hides in his inner world in embarrassment, unable to get out and unable to sit still.

Every month, Yu Ren would meet with his father Ren Songhong. In order to eliminate the impact of divorce, Ren Songhong soon remarried. The new wife was Liao Hua who he had brought home.Knowing that Yu Ren didn't want to meet Liao Hua, he chose McDonald's to take her to dinner.Seeing that Yu Ren just lowered his head to bite the French fries one by one, Ren Songhong didn't know where to start.The father and daughter were silent for a while before Ren Songhong said, "I heard that you are good at math and Chinese, but your English is not good?"

Yu Ren nodded, "Mom helped me find a tutor, and I have two hours of make-up lessons on Saturday and Sunday. It's better now."

Ren Songhong nodded, seeing that Yu Ren was still looking sullen, he reached out for a cigarette and smoked one outside the shop.After sitting in front of Yu Ren again, she became more energetic, "Although Mom and Dad are divorced, they are still your biological parents. If you don't want or it's inconvenient for Mom to help you with something, you can tell me."

Yu Ren didn't communicate with her father much since she was a child, and in her mind he was an incompetent parent.When he was very young, he was often away from home due to work reasons. Most of his understanding of Yu Ren was through the report card at the end of the semester and the teacher's comments.She never thought that Ren Songhong was her object of advice, but Ren Songhong's kind eyes made Yu Ren temporarily put down his guard at the moment, "Dad, why did you cheat?"

"..." Ren Songhong blushed at the question, "My lord... Caicai, adult affairs are very complicated. Dad is not cheating, it's...the relationship between you and your mother has broken..." Ren Songhong in front of her teenage daughter Feeling ashamed, it's not complicated to say that it's not complicated, but he started to drift when he became a county magistrate at a young age, always feeling that he is outstanding, and the nagging Yu Xiaomin can't resonate with him in soul.

"Forget it, we've been away for so long, so it's meaningless to ask." Yu Ren returned from the state of a child to the precocious look in Ren Songhong's heart, and she took a breath, "Dad, I want to be the class monitor, how can I get the students to choose me sincerely?" Be monitor?"

Ren Songhong was stunned for a moment, and then the decree pattern unfolded, "Are you unhappy because of this? Can you tell me why you want to be the squad leader?"

"The monitor can go to the library to borrow books on behalf of the class, so that I can choose according to my own taste." Yu Ren bit his lower lip, "Also... I want to be an excellent student, and I want to continue to be a three-good student. I want my mother to be happy. .”

Ren Songhong picked up French fries from her plate and happily ate a few, clapping her hands, "Actually, it was a phone call from Dad." It's too shameful to put on airs as a county magistrate in front of children, Ren Songhong patted her daughter's head, " You just said, 'Let the students be convinced', this sentence is right. If you don't have the approval and support of others, even if I call you to be the monitor, you will not be happy, and others will not cooperate with you Work……"

Yu Ren nodded, not realizing that this was making Ren Songhong overqualified, so she gradually opened her heart, and told her father that she felt lonely in class and lost votes in the election.

Ren Songhong wanted to know the society at such a young age, Ren Songhong laughed in his heart, he thought for a while, and pointed out the crux of the problem for Yu Ren, "Caicai, you are actually much precocious than ordinary children. Few children can analyze with their parents like you. and take the initiative to seek a solution. But Dad wants to point out a shortcoming of yours, I wonder if you are willing to listen?"

Seeing his daughter's humble attitude, he was relieved, "Besides your obvious shortcomings in academic performance, you are also a little lonely. People who are lonely live in their own world, thinking that their own ideas and actions are right, while others I can't understand you. You have to let go of yourself and really observe the people around you and the world. Understand their strengths, weaknesses, preferences and habits, and be willing to learn from them from the bottom of your heart.

"You have to be interested in people, and have a picture of how to mobilize people. If you can't do this and are only interested in the people in the books, my father suggests that you don't compete to be the class leader, read good books honestly, and be a good student in the future." Just a safe job."

Yu Ren didn't know much about these words, but she always remembered Ren Songhong's other words, "Don't be afraid of getting lost when making friends. You can never make friends. Close friends may become enemies, and distant friends can get close again. In the end, others do not They don’t belong to you, they also have their own world. You just have to figure out where you and them intersect. If you want to participate in life politics, you have to understand the rules of its operation.” I have to admit that my father Ren Songhong can give and Different answers from the mother's perspective.

Yu Ren lost Yu Juan, and now he is slowly losing Bai Maosheng. "Gains and losses are the normal state of life. Look, aren't father and mother divorced? Have gained each other, and lost each other again." Ren Songhong's final persuasion made her She was slowly relieved, and she was also awakened: Bai Maosheng was lost, and she could bring him back.And, understand the politics of the small society of the class.

Before parting, Yu Ren asked his father, "Dad, why didn't these mothers teach me?"

Ren Songhong smiled triumphantly, "She, women don't care about these things. Dad knows it naturally, and I will teach you slowly in the future."
