Not bad for money and Grandet

Luo Zizhao leaned over and said curiously: "Jiao Lan once said that you used to be so good that you made trouble with the teacher. Your math teacher often humiliated the students with poor grades, and you always gave him difficult questions to find fault with; another time you Take the lead in beating the physical education teacher, the school didn't remember your fault, and even changed the physical education teacher. Is it true? Why?"

Kang Jiayin glanced at Luo Zizhao: "It's been too long, I forgot."

Luo Zizhao looked in disbelief: "Impossible, you have such a good memory, you can even remember the names of ordinary classmates, how could you not remember that you had a crush on your teacher?"

Kang Jiayin said: "It's all in the past, so there's nothing to talk about." Of course he remembered the physical education teacher, because he bumped into that scum who molested the girls in the class.

"You won the Mathematical Olympiad in junior high school. No wonder you got full marks in every exam. I also heard from your freshman classmate that the physics teacher asked you to participate in the Olympiad. Why didn't you participate? Is it because you are afraid that training will delay your time?" Luo Zizhao It was a pity. He heard from Jiao Lanyi that if he won the Olympiad, he would be recommended to go to university.

"No time." Kang Jiayin admitted this time.

"It's a pity. If you can participate in the Olympiad, you will get extra points in the college entrance examination." Luo Zizhao said.

Kang Jiayin said lightly: "There are so many people who don't get extra points in the college entrance examination, so they still get admitted to university."

Luo Zizhao laughed: "That's true, even if you don't need extra points, you can definitely go to Tsinghua University and Peking University."

Kang Jiayin lowered his eyes when he heard Tsinghua University and Peking University, and said, "You don't go to the toilet? If you don't, let's continue the class."

"Wait, I still have to go to the toilet." Luo Zizhao got up, slid a step, and walked out the door with ease.

Kang Jiayin withdrew his eyes, wrote the words Tsinghua University and Peking University on the draft book, and then circled them, crossed them out, and filled them all over again until they could not be recognized. Some things, in the eyes of others, are logical things. Here he has become an unattainable dream.

Knowing that the content of Luo Zizhao's chat with Jiao Lanyi was related to him, Kang Jiayin's inner anxiety eased a lot. He thought that maybe he could properly join the topic of those two people, so that he would not feel excluded.

In math class that day, Jiao Lanyi rolled up a notebook from the back to poke Luo Zizhao, and Kang Jiayin took the notebook before Luo Zizhao took it.Luo Zizhao grabbed the book with his backhand, but he didn't catch the book. He turned around and found that Kang Jiayin was reading a familiar book. It was Jiao Lanyi's draft book. How did it get into his hands?

Kang Jiayin looked at the words in the notebook: "Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day?" His brows couldn't help but twitch, as if a hole had been pierced in his heart, something began to fall into the hole, and he wrote a sentence on the back: "There is Say something after class, don't disturb others in class!" Then he threw the notebook on the back seat.

As soon as Jiao Lan was taken away by Kang Jiayin, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to say when the notebook suddenly fell back on her face. She quickly snatched it back, looked at the words on it, and let out a deep breath, this guy The words are really ugly, how did you get No.1 in the test?

Luo Zizhao was so curious that when Jiao Lan wrote something, he put his head on his hands, moved closer to Kang Jiayin, and asked in a low voice, "What did she say?"

Kang Jiayin said angrily: "Listen to your class carefully."

Luo Zizhao sat up straight and cheered up to look at the blackboard.

After the get out of class bell rang, Luo Zizhao turned around impatiently: "What did you just say to me?"

Before Jiao Lan opened his mouth, Kang Jiayin turned around with a serious face: "If you don't want to go to class, you can move to another place and don't disturb others."

Jiao Lan opened her mouth, and finally shrank her neck and said, "I was wrong. I will never talk to Luo Zizhao again in class."

Kang Jiayin turned to look at Luo Zizhao again: "If you don't want to listen in class, there's no need for me to make up lessons for you. You're just wasting time."

Luo Zizhao felt that he was very innocent. It was Jiao Lanyi who took the initiative to talk to him. How could it be his fault in the end? He said aggrievedly: "When did I stop going to class? You are wronging me!"

Kang Jiayin lowered his eyes and said, "I also hope that you have been wronged. You can figure it out for yourself. If your grades regress, I won't teach you. I don't want to waste your parents' money."

When Luo Zizhao heard this, he became very angry, as if he begged him to make up lessons, wait a minute, he really begged him to make up lessons.Luo Zizhao scratched his hair in distress. What happened to Kang Jiayin recently? He lost his temper at every turn and made all kinds of demands, just like his parents.What did Jiao Lanyi write just now?He made such a big fuss?Then he turned his head to look at Jiao Lanyi, and asked her with his eyes.Jiao Lan shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Kang Jiayin sighed, got up and went out, he felt anxious again, this anxiety stemmed from his uncontrollable certain things.He stood in the corridor with his hands on the railing, remembering what Jiao Lanyi wrote in his notebook, "Do you have any arrangements for Valentine's Day?" When a girl asks a boy like this, isn't it a hint or an invitation to celebrate the festival together?But whether Luo Zizhao falls in love or who he falls in love with has nothing to do with him. He is just a landlord and a friend. This is what makes Kang Jiayin most depressed.

Taking advantage of Kang Jiayin's departure, Luo Zizhao took the time to ask Jiao Lanyi: "Show me your notebook, what did you write?"

As soon as Jiao Lan opened the book to Luo Zizhao, after a while, Luo Zizhao said: "It's nothing. I'm not in a relationship, and I don't have any arrangements for Valentine's Day. I can spend it as I like. By the way, don't always go to class to teach me. If I write a note, Kang Jiayin will be unhappy."

Jiao Lan thought it was funny: "Why is he upset when I'm talking to you? What does it have to do with him?"

Luo Zizhao thought for a while, and said: "He is my tutor, and my grades are closely related to his income."

Jiao Lan helped her chin: "What? Kang Jiayin is your tutor? Is it true?"

"What are you doing lying to you?"

Jiao Lan praised: "Sure enough, it's a bit like his style, not taking the usual path. Can you understand what he taught?"

"Of course, it's easier to understand than what the teacher said."

Jiao Lan stretched out her thumb: "Niuu! By the way, if you don't have any plans on Friday, go somewhere with me."

"Where are you going?" Luo Zizhao asked.

Jiao Lanyi said, "I want to go to the cemetery. After school."

Luo Zizhao was taken aback: "Huh? Go to the cemetery?"

Jiao Lan nodded solemnly.At this moment, the class bell rang, and Kang Jiayin came in from outside. After the bell rang, Luo Zizhao said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Kang Jiayin's face was livid, but he didn't say anything.

This year, the school started early, and it took more than a week to arrive at Valentine's Day, which happened to be Friday.On this day, Kang Jiayin and Luo Zizhao received a lot of chocolates and love letters respectively, and of course Kang Jiayin received more.Jiao Lanyi also received a rose, and she tore off the rose petals one by one and threw them away in boredom. Luo Zizhao said, "I have never seen a woman who doesn't love roses so much."

Jiao Lanyi said: "What's so good about roses? It's not as good as chocolate. At least chocolate makes people feel better."

Luo Zizhao then gave her the chocolate he had collected: "Then I'll give it to you."

Jiao Lan took one piece at a time: "Enough is enough, you will get fat if you eat too much."

Luo Zizhao stuffed the rest into Kang Jiayin's schoolbag: "You take it back for Ah Hui and Ah Hua to eat."

Kang Jiayin said: "You take it to them yourself."

Luo Zizhao said: "I won't go back today, you can ride my car back after school, I want to accompany Jiao Lanyi to a place."

Kang Jiayin asked, "Where are you going?"

Luo Zizhao looked at Jiao Lanyi: "Can you tell me?"

Jiao Lan nodded: "Speak."

Luo Zizhao said, "She's going to the cemetery."

This answer was beyond Kang Jiayin's expectations. He said, "It's five o'clock after school. When do you go to the cemetery?" It's dark, there's no way to go to the grave at night.

Luo Zizhao thought for a while, and it was indeed a little scary: "Then, Jiao Lanyi, can we change the time? How about tomorrow?"

Jiao Lan shook his head firmly.

Luo Zizhao laughed dryly.Kang Jiayin suddenly said, "I'll accompany you guys, and I'll ask for leave for the last self-study class in the afternoon."

Jiao Lan looked at Kang Jiayin: "All three of us ask for leave, what excuse do we use?"

Kang Jiayin said: "I'll go to my brother's school, one of you will pretend to be sick, and the other will accompany you to see a doctor."

Luo Zizhao made an OK gesture: "This is simple, leave it to me."

So the three of them asked for leave at different time slots, and they met at the school gate before 04:30. As for Luo Zizhao's bicycle, Kang Jiayin had already sent it back, and he also left a note for his younger siblings, telling him I have something to do, so I won't go home for dinner tonight.

After leaving the school gate, Luo Zizhao raised his fist and thumped Kang Jiayin's chest: "I really have you, I didn't expect you to be so righteous."

Kang Jiayin didn't speak, just looked at Jiao Lanyi: "Which cemetery are you in?"

Jiao Lan brushed her hair and said, "I want to buy a bunch of flowers."

"Okay, then let's go, hurry up, don't really arrive until dark, it's scary." Luo Zizhao said.

They found a flower shop near the school, and Jiao Lanyi bought a bouquet of lilies and decorated them with baby's breath instead of the chrysanthemums commonly used in grave sweeping.Then I went to take the subway, went out of the city, and changed to a Didi special car. When I arrived at the cemetery, it was already 05:30.It was getting dark, but it was not dark yet. The uncle guarding the cemetery saw them and said, "Why do you still have to visit the grave at this time?"

Luo Zizhao said: "Master, we have class today, and we came here after school."

"Then change it to another day, it will be different someday." The uncle said.

Jiao Lanyi said, "But today is the death day."

Kang Jiayin said: "Master, there must be no other way to come here at this time, otherwise no one would want to come earlier."

The uncle waved his hand: "Then hurry up, go and come back quickly. Don't stay inside for too long."

Luo Zizhao quickly said, "Thank you, sir!"

The cemetery was unusually quiet, except for them, there was no one else. The green cypress trees were sprouting new buds at the moment, and there was a little green in the green, which made the atmosphere not so gloomy.They climbed up the stone steps step by step. They walked for an unknown amount of time before Jiao Lan stopped to check their position.

Luo Zizhao looked back at the stone steps and neatly arranged tombstones behind him. Each tombstone represented a person. Thinking of this, Luo Zizhao's scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb.He reached out and touched Kang Jiayin beside him, and said in a low voice, "How do you feel? I feel a little scary."

Kang Jiayin reached out and pinched his neck: "It's okay. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As soon as Jiao Lan walked towards a row of tombstones, she stopped at a very inner position.Luo Zizhao and Kang Jiayin looked at each other, then followed them in.

The one-meter-long tombstone simply reads "The Tomb of My Daughter Dou Junjun", and the year of birth and death is "2000421-2019214".Jiao Lanyi squatted down in front of the tombstone, put down the bouquet in her hand, took out a pack of tissues, and carefully wiped the dust on the tombstone.

Kang Jiayin took Luo Zizhao's elbow and retreated to the steps.Luo Zizhao squatted on the steps and sighed: "Is that Jiao Lanyi's friend? Why did he pass away at such a young age?"

Kang Jiayin stood beside him, facing down, looking at the crowded tombstones, and suddenly said: "You see, after death, people lie in such a small place, no one is an exception, no matter how rich and important they used to be, In the end, it’s nothing more than three feet. So what’s the point of living and earning fame and wealth?”

Luo Zizhao turned his head to look at Kang Jiayin, scratched his head and said, "That's not what you said. If you think like this, people shouldn't live. Isn't it said that people live is the process of living? It's best to leave some traces in this world , more advanced, to leave some spiritual wealth to mankind, less, to leave some material wealth, and again, to leave some future generations." At this point, he laughed, feeling that his words were awesome, he When did he become so good, he must have learned from Kang Jiayin.

Kang Jiayin turned to look at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing, after a long silence, he said: "But there are some people who can't keep these three things."

"That doesn't prevent him from living, because these three things are his goals, and there is nothing he can do if he doesn't stay. His ability is limited." Luo Zizhao said.

Kang Jiayin suddenly laughed: "Why have you suddenly become so sophisticated?"

"That's right, I also feel that I have a unique level today, probably because this environment gave me inspiration." Luo Zizhao said with a smile.

"Then what do you want to keep?" Kang Jiayin asked.

Luo Zizhao chuckled, "I haven't figured it out yet."

Kang Jiayin laughed when he heard that, this is the Luo Zizhao he knew.

A gust of night wind blew, Luo Zizhao stretched out his hand to touch his arm, feeling chilly, he hugged his arms tightly, turned his head to look at Jiao Lanyi, there was a flickering fire over there, it looked like he was smoking, Jiao Lan would smoke for a while, which he never thought of. "Are you cold?"

Kang Jiayin turned to look at him: "Do you feel cold?"

"A bit."

Kang Jiayin sat down on the steps behind him, pulled Luo Zizhao who was squatting on the ground to sit on his lap, and hugged him from behind.

Luo Zizhao: "..." He never thought that he would use this method to keep warm, but it is undeniable that it is indeed warmer to hug like this.

Luo Zizhao had nothing to say: "Jiao Lanyi seems to be smoking."

Kang Jiayin said "um", "It's not surprising."

"You know?" Luo Zizhao asked in surprise.

"Occasionally."

"I always thought she was a person with a story."

"Everyone has a story."

"That's right, you all have them, maybe they're full-length novels, but I'm the only one who reads children's books, so there's nothing to write about." Luo Zizhao sighed.

Kang Jiayin said: "Children's books have the advantages of children's books." Simple and sunny, beautiful and kind.

Luo Zizhao laughed: "I accept this comfort."

It was dusk and the sky was dark. Jiao Lanyi finally got up and came out. She saw Luo Zizhao sitting on Kang Jiayin's lap, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
