did not meet tonight

Chapter 89 Teacher Gu

Baliping Primary School is at the east end of the village. It is a row of bungalows with white walls and gray tiles. There are three classes with about [-] students. Besides Baliping, there are also children from nearby villages who come to study here.The school has three teaching teachers and one life teacher. Except for Gu Mingwei, everyone else is hired temporarily. They only work for three or four years, and their salary is always far from that of a regular school.

It's already summer vacation, the iron sliding door is locked tightly, and the square is empty, apparently no one is there.Ye Jian probed inside and could only see the neat and clean school building and the five-star red flag flying in the wind. He slammed on the gate and shouted twice, but no one responded.

"Who are you looking for?" A voice came from behind them, Ye Jian looked back, there were about 40 people coming, thin and bright eyes, looking at them vigilantly.

"Uncle, have you seen a child walk in here, about this tall?" Ye Jian asked anxiously, making a hand gesture.

"It's all holidays now, how can there be children in the school." Probably because they didn't look like people with other plans, the man's expression relaxed a lot.

"Someone saw him coming here, is there any other door to enter the school?" Ye Jian asked unwillingly.

"No, but next to it is the teacher's dormitory. Teacher Gu still lives there. Children often come to ask him about homework. You can go and have a look." The man pointed to the left direction and said.

Ye Jian thanked him, and hurried there, Xiao Yu knew what he was worried about, and comforted him: "He grew up here, and he will be fine."

"When Mrs. Zhu was insane, the only thing she remembered was her son. I promised to take her to find Wen Hao. I have no ability to intervene in many things, but at least I want to help her fulfill this wish." Ye Jian said.

"I understand." That's why Xiao Yu made that request to Director Tian when he was at the well.

The teachers' dormitory is a small flat house with four rooms on the first floor. The four teachers live here to take care of the school. Now that it's summer vacation, Gu Mingwei is the only one left in it.Seeing Ye Jian coming, Gu Mingwei looked very happy: "A Jian, why are you free today?"

"I'm here to find someone, Ming Wei, have you seen Wen Hao?" Ye Jian was anxious, so he stopped saying those polite words.

"Wen Hao?" Gu Mingwei was obviously taken aback, looking at him and Xiao Yu standing behind.

"His parents had an accident yesterday, and now he is left alone, I am a little worried." Ye Jian explained.

Gu Mingwei sighed: "I heard about that, Wen Hao is really a poor child."

Seeing that he seemed to know something, Ye Jian asked eagerly, "Did Wen Hao come to look for you?"

Gu Mingwei opened the door: "Let's talk first."

The furnishings in the room are very simple. A curtain divides the space into two parts. There are bookshelves, tables and chairs outside, which should be behind Gu Mingwei’s daily lesson preparation. Inside, only a corner of the bed can be seen. When Jianjian stepped into the door, he clearly heard the sound of movement from behind the curtain. He and Xiao Yu exchanged glances, and then turned their gazes to Gu Mingwei.

Gu Mingwei nodded to him, walked over and opened the curtain, Zhu Wenhao's thin body was curled up at the corner of the bed, holding a half unfinished steamed bun in his hand, looking at them with horror on his face.Gu Mingwei comforted him softly: "Wen Hao, it's okay, they are all friends of the teacher, they won't hurt you."

Zhu Wenhao shrank back inside, sticking his whole body against the wall. Ye Jian couldn't bear to see him like this, and said, "As long as he's fine, let's go out first, don't scare him."

Gu Mingwei asked them to sit outside, brewed two cups of tea and handed them over, sighed and said: "Wen Hao is withdrawn, he doesn't like to talk, he looks like a frightened bird when he sees everyone, and it took me a long time to get him. He often went to the school to secretly listen to the class through the window. I approached Brother Zhu several times and advised him to send Wen Hao to the school. People have to work."

Speaking of this, Gu Mingwei's expression became even more distressed: "He is an eight-year-old child who has to do the same work as an adult every day. He often falls and bruises, and he has to face such a situation when he returns home. Parents, God is so unfair."

"Although his mother was mentally disturbed, she never forgot him. Brother Zhu did those things only because he felt too bitter." Ye Jian knew that he shouldn't speak for Zhu Qingping, but no matter what, Zhu Wenhao still had Parents, as long as Zhu Qingping can change, even though they are poor, at least one family can still live together.

"Brother Zhu's temper has become more and more weird in the past two years. You saw it yesterday. It's not the first time this kind of thing happened. At the beginning, Wen Hao would go to the neighbor's house to ask for help, but later he found that after the others left, Brother Zhu would fight more fiercely, so when he saw such things, he covered his ears and hid, his personality became more and more withdrawn, not only the children in the village bullied him, but even the adults didn't like him." Gu Mingwei shook Shaking his head, with helplessness on his face, "Zhang Banxian in the village said that Wen Hao's fate was hard, and it was because of him that he brought disaster to Zhu's family. Now everyone in the village regards their family as poisonous snakes and beasts, and no one wants to get close to them. Let alone help."

"People who promote such superstitious ideas should really be arrested and sent to reform through labor." Ye Jian hadn't met Zhang Banxian yet, but when Ma Meijing was beaten in front of his door, he hadn't seen him come out to stop him, so he probably was impersonal guy.

"No way, the villagers just believe this, and they say it works better than anyone else." Gu Mingwei glanced into the back room, the curtain has been drawn, and Zhu Wenhao can be vaguely heard eating, Gu Mingwei asked in a low voice, "Ajian, how are brother Zhu and sister-in-law Zhu doing now?"

"Sister-in-law Zhu is still in the hospital. Although her life is not in danger, she still needs to be observed for a while. As for Brother Zhu," Ye Jian paused, turned to look at Xiao Yu, and then continued, "His behavior has violated the law." , It depends on how the police deal with it.”

"How can I deal with it? In the end, I will be educated and released without charge." Gu Mingwei laughed mockingly, "If the police can really manage their affairs, there won't be so many fruitless cases."

Xiao Yu seemed to be used to these words, and there was no reaction on his face, but Ye Jian felt a little embarrassed: "They also have their difficulties, maybe they have tried their best, but there are too many difficulties in front of them, and there is no way to solve them for the time being."

Gu Mingwei's face turned cold: "Their so-called doing their best is within the range they can accept. Beyond this range, there are only four words of powerlessness."

Ye Jian looked very surprised. The impression was that Nakatani Mingwei was a very good-natured person, he could almost be said to have no temper, so how could he say such extreme words.Seeing the surprise on his face, Gu Mingwei quickly returned to normal: "I'm also avenging Wen Hao's injustice, Ah Jian, don't take it to heart."

"Do you know about Li Lan?" Ye Jian asked, changing the subject.

"Well, I heard that Wen Hao sent it out in the well unintentionally. The child was frightened. He was crying when he first came to me, and he just calmed down now." Gu Mingwei said, "If you want to ask this If there is an incident, it is best to come back in two days, he is still emotionally unstable and can easily lose control when stimulated."

Ye Jian came to Zhu Wenhao just because he was worried, not because he wanted to know anything from him. He nodded and said, "Do you want to keep him here temporarily?"

"He's a poor kid. I'm really worried about letting him stay at home alone. Let's do it for now. I don't think he has anywhere to go except here." Gu Mingwei said with a sigh.

Ma Meijing is still not sober, and sending Zhu Wenhao to the hospital is useless, Ye Jian thought for a while and said, "That's fine, he's easy to encounter danger outside alone."

"I guess I'm the only one in the village who doesn't believe Zhang Banxian's words." Gu Mingwei said with a self-deprecating smile.The curtain was carefully opened, Zhu Wenhao poked his head out, and said timidly: "Mr. Gu, I'm a little thirsty and want to drink water."

This was the first time Ye Jian heard him speak in a long time, his voice was very soft, as if he was always afraid and on guard.Gu Mingwei got up and poured him a cup of hot water, and said softly, "Drink it slowly, be careful not to burn it, there are still biscuits by the bedside, if you want to eat, take it yourself."

Zhu Wenhao took the cup and hid behind the curtain. After a while, there was the sound of tearing the bag, Ye Jian sighed and said, "It's been so long since you've seen you, you seem like a different person."

"Time and many things will change a person," Gu Mingwei smiled, and changed the topic, "Then you are a famous person in school, and there are always female classmates handing you love letters. How about it? Are you off the list? ?”

Ye Jian didn't know how to answer, so he said with a haha, "It's been such a long time, why bring it up."

Gu Mingwei's eyes showed nostalgia: "Yes, it has been so long, many things have changed, but Ajian, you still haven't changed much, you are as warm-hearted as before, always thinking about others, everyone would love to be friends with you."

"That's right, who told me that the car will meet the car, and the flowers will bloom!" Ye Jian raised his eyebrows nervously.

"I'm really glad to see you again." Gu Mingwei looked at him with emotion in his eyes.Although Xiao Yu didn't say anything, his meaningful eyes were enough to make Ye Jian restless. He drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and said, "Wen Hao will leave it to you first, after his mother wakes up , I’ll take him there again to visit.”

Gu Mingwei sent them out: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

In front of this row of houses, there is only a yard full of weeds, and some clothes are flying in the wind on the clothes rail. Ye Jian glanced at the school building not far away, and asked: "Ming Wei, the school is on holiday." Why are you still here alone?"

Gu Mingwei looked at the forest in the distance, the sun was shining on his face, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, so fast that Ye Jian thought it was an illusion.

"I still have things to do." He said calmly.

"I'm still living in my original home, come to me if you need anything." Ye Jian patted him on the shoulder and said.He and Xiao Yu left here and couldn't help taking a look when they passed by the school: "When I was a child, I had to walk two hours on the mountain road to go to school in the town every day. At that time, I thought how great it would be to have my own elementary school in the village. Thinking that it really became a reality later on. I really admire Ming Wei, many people can’t do what he did, giving up the opportunity of a big city to stay in this small village.”

"Everyone's pursuit is different." Xiao Yu said, just like he chose to be a policeman, which is also a completely different path from his family.

"Am I being selfish? They have helped me so much, but I only think about myself." Ye Jian lowered his head and said sadly.

"I'd rather you be more selfish." Xiao Yu sighed deeply. He had seen him so many times that he was desperate, and almost passed the god of death every time. If this is called selfishness, then the definition of selflessness is too strong. .

Ye Jian stared blankly, looking at the figure walking in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

In fact, it's good that they are like this now.
