MVP in the next examination room

Perhaps for ordinary people, "life and death" is always an insurmountable hurdle.

Dong Meng admitted that when she heard about Xiaopang from Teacher Ren, her heart trembled for a while, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

During this time, the house was always full of gunpowder, and she couldn't help thinking, maybe Yuan Che was really announcing something silently... This time it was the bottom one, what about next time?

That kid who is usually timid can do this kind of thing.

Last night, she took Yuan Che's application form for living in school and read it for a long time.There are obviously not many words, and they can be scanned with a glance, but she read it as long as a century.

In the end, she said a few words to Yuan Che, "I must study hard after living in school", "I must pass the next exam", and then signed at the bottom of the application form.

Putting down the pen, when she handed over the application form, she suddenly said again: "I only have one child, no matter what, I wish you well and hope you will be successful in the future... There are some things you may not understand now, but I I don't want to hurt you."

Yuan Che lowered his eyelids and pursed his lips, but said nothing.

Dong Meng sighed: "You were so obedient and obedient when you were young, but now..."

"When I was young" can be traced back at least before the second grade of elementary school - at that time, Yuan Che was indeed not as naughty as children of the same age, procrastinating in doing homework, and pissing off the tutoring parents, he basically didn't need it How to tutor, it will be completed in a short time.After finishing, Dong Meng did what he set out for him, and he finished it quickly and well, so well-behaved that everyone was angry.

Compared with that time, the later Yuan Che could indeed be called "a big change in temperament".

Yuan Che stuffed the A4 paper into the interlayer of his schoolbag, and listened to Dong Meng rambling behind him, such as "If you don't try your best now, you will regret it sooner or later", "If I don't care about you, you might come back later." Turn your head and blame me", feeling a little blocked in my heart.

He has heard these words since he was a child, and his ears are callused, but Dong Meng still doesn't seem to know that the estrangement and estrangement between their mother and child is not because of this problem.

He wanted to ask Dong Meng if she only cared about his grades, and everything else was irrelevant.

I hope he is well...why didn't you divorce Yuanming back then?

But he didn't ask.

Some questions have expired, and it is not interesting to dig them up again.

Yuan Che turned around and said to Dong Meng, "Mom, I have to do my homework."

Dong Meng's voice stopped abruptly.She was stunned for a while, then pushed the bowl of noodles towards him: "...you can't eat this in school, so eat some."

In fact, she hasn't made fried noodles for a long time.When Yuan Che sat down and picked up a chopsticks noodle, a familiar yet somewhat strange smell came to his nostrils, bringing back some scattered memories.

On the hospital bed, by the dining table.

He remembered that when he was a child, Shang Xiao came to play at home once, and when it was dinner time, Dong Meng just came back from get off work.

Dong Meng casually asked him if he wanted to stay at home for dinner, and Shang Xiao said yes.

But that day there was actually no food at home, so Dong Meng made three bowls of noodles with fried sauce, one bowl for each person.They were sitting at the dining table, and she brought it up, asking them with a serious face how their winter homework was going.

Shang Xiao was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, and he regretted eight hundred times in his heart... If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have stayed for this meal.

The three of them ate three bowls of noodles in silence that day, and Shang Xiao, who usually eats with incomparable boldness, ate elegantly and reservedly.

……

There is still a short period in my memory, which is vaguely mixed with the smell of hospital disinfectant.

It was when he was in junior high school, he was injured and hospitalized, and he couldn't eat because of a bone fracture. Dong Meng made a bowl of noodles with fried sauce and sat by the bedside to feed him.

He had no appetite at all, and turned his face away in silence.

My whole body hurts everywhere.

Dong Meng advised him to eat a little, but he didn't speak or look at her.

Later, he was annoyed by persuasion, he turned his head and said, "Leave."

Dong Meng's expression for a moment was indescribable, whether it was sadness or embarrassment.

He only remembered her saying "I'm sorry" and begging him to "be patient", but he didn't quite remember what else she said.After a while, she put the noodles on the small table beside the hospital bed, got up and went out by herself.

The eyes seem to be red.

Yuan Che lowered his head and ate the noodles in the bowl, while Dong Meng sat beside him, watched quietly for a while, then hesitated and said, "You...do you hate me?"

Yuan Che's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and then continued calmly.

Dong Meng was silent for a long time, and then continued intermittently: "I...I have my own difficulties... With my salary alone, I can support the two of us, really... At most, I won't be hungry or cold. For other expenses, I really..."

Seeing that Yuan Che frowned, she sighed and said, "I mean, you may not understand now, when you get older..."

Yuan Che interrupted her and said, "Maybe."

Maybe one day, he will finally be able to understand Dong Meng's actions - but even if he understands, it is very likely that he will not be able to forgive.

*

At noon the next day, when Yuan Che dragged his suitcase out of the house, Dong Meng stood at the door looking at him, put his hand on the doorknob, and finally said: "Study hard."

Yuan Che sighed silently in his heart.

"Understood," he stopped for a while without turning his head, and said, "goodbye."

--------

Yuan Che arrived at the school in the afternoon to pick up the keys first, went to the dormitory to pack his luggage, and when he returned to the classroom, it was almost time for class.

He was taken aback when he entered the classroom—the desks on both sides of the podium were gone.

The position of the students in the first row has also changed.

He hadn't recovered from the daze that the positions on both sides of the podium were missing, when he heard Tang Ran whistle: "Same table, this way!"

Yuan Che followed the prestige, and saw Tang Ran sitting in the last row, on the right side of the two tables side by side.

The one on the left is undoubtedly his.

Yuan Che: "..."

Jin Luo yelled joyfully: "Mr. Ren didn't know who wrote the note, and promised to give us a new! Rank! Rank!!"

Yuan Che strode over, threw the key in his hand on the table, and lifted the table to leave.

Tang Ran pressed his eyes quickly: "...Where are you going?"

Yuan Che asked: "Teacher Ren put us together?"

"That's not true," Tang Ran admitted frankly, "I arranged it."

"Give it up," Yuan Che said, "I'll change places."

"There is no room," Tang Ran gestured around with his eyes, "unless you sit back on the podium."

fart.

There is still space under the last window on the south side.

"No way over there," Tang Ran followed his gaze, "You didn't sit at the same table, and neither did I. Look at who in our class is alone at the same table—the teacher will think that we don't get along with each other .”

Yuan Che said coldly, "I thought it was right."

"Look at you," Tang Ran grabbed the sides of the table with his hands, "Is it so difficult to admit that you want to sit with me?"

Yuan Che: "..."

At this moment, Ding Yifan came over with a mostly completed seating plan: "Mr. Tang, are you sure you're going to sit here?"

Tang Ran looked back: "Yes, that's it, write my name for me."

Ding Yifan bent down on the desk of a classmate next to him, and filled in the two blanks in the last row with "Tang Ran" and "Yuan Che".

Yuan Che didn't see that Ding Yifan also wrote his share, Tang Ran turned around and walked to the window as soon as he let go, but Li Hong and his tablemate took the lead and left the two new tables behind.

"I'm sorry Brother Yuan," Li Hong smiled at him apologetically, "Actually, the two of us have already written our names here, and we just went to move a new table."

"..."

"Come back," Tang Ran sat on the seat calmly, crossing his legs, "Look, it's fate, you can't hide."

Yuan Che dropped the table heavily beside him.

Tang Ran was almost knocked off the stool.

"Wait, this is... the key to the dormitory?" Tang Ran didn't pay attention to it just now, but now he picked it up and found out, "416? The iron head room?"

Qin Shuo has already checked out, and now there is an empty bed in Ren Yuzhen's room. Based on the principle of energy conservation and environmental protection, the dormitory manager arranged for Yuan Che to come to 416.

Tang Ran's first reaction was: "Then where am I staying?"

Yuan Che asked: "Are you running a boarding school too?"

"Not yet," Tang Ran replied calmly, "I believe it will be in the not-too-distant future."

Yuan Che: "..."

He didn't understand how this guy could say the words "Where do I come and live" so confidently.

As if they were supposed to live in the same room.

Ren Yuzhen came down from the mathematics office upstairs to distribute the test papers he had just received. When he passed by them, he saw Tang Ran hooking a dormitory key, and said casually, "Mr. Tang, you can rest assured that Brother Yuan will live with me." .”

After speaking, he was about to go back, but he heard Tang Ran calling him: "Wait, I have something to tell you."

Ren Yuzhen stepped back: "Huh?"

Tang Ran pondered for a while, and said, "I'm at the same table, and sometimes my temper may not be very good."

Ren Yuzhen nodded his head in disapproval: "This is me..."

Before "I know", Tang Ran said the next sentence decisively and affirmatively: "Don't bully him."

Ren Yuzhen: "..."

Brother, are you kidding me? ?
