A Certain Someone

Leaving aside this subtle change, the days in Courtyard No. 7 of Baima Lane were quite harmonious, but they couldn't last for a few days.

Sheng Mingyang's previous troubles have not been completely resolved, and new problems have arisen in his business.On Friday morning, Sheng Wang came down from upstairs and ran into a dispute between him and Jiang Ou.

The content of the dispute was actually very simple, to the effect that Jiang Ou felt that he could help, but Sheng Mingyang wanted her to stay at home and take care of the two younger ones.

Jiang Ou is a mild-tempered person, and Sheng Mingyang is not irritable.That's why they felt helpless and helpless when they were in a stalemate.

"Otherwise, what am I going to do if I get up early and stay late at night?" Sheng Mingyang said while propping up the glazed table in the kitchen, pinching his brows.

"but--"

Just as Jiang Ou was about to retort, he added another sentence: "You told me about Xiao Tian before, I know you definitely don't want to be like that again."

Jiang Ou opened his mouth but was suddenly cut off.She didn't know what to think of, she suddenly lost interest in arguing, she lowered her eyes and fell silent.

Sheng Mingyang supported her shoulder and said, "So listen to me this time, okay?"

After a while, Jiang Ou nodded.

……

I don't know who saw Sheng Wang next to the stairs first, and the two quickly cleaned up their expressions and returned to normal.Sheng Mingyang opened the glass door and came out of the kitchen. Jiang Ou gave him a hasty smile, and took out a bowl to ladle porridge.

"What's the matter with you?" Sheng Wang actually didn't hear the content of the dispute very clearly. He looked at Jiang Ou's back and subconsciously glanced back at the stairs.

Fortunately, Jiang Tian left two papers and went back to the room to get them, so he didn't see this scene, otherwise, I don't know how he would react.

Sometimes Sheng Wang thinks that Jiang Tian's way of getting along with his mother is very strange.

If the relationship is not good, Jiang Tian's protective attitude can be seen in many details. No matter what, as long as Jiang Ou asks, he can't bear to refuse.

But to say that the relationship is good...but there always seems to be something missing.

Sheng Mingyang's cell phone buzzed and vibrated, he hurriedly connected it, then turned his head and said to Sheng Wang, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I have to go on a business trip for a few days, and I'll go to the airport later."

Shengwang has long been used to his flying around, so he is not surprised: "How are you going?"

"Hello?" Sheng Mingyang greeted the other end of the phone, and took the time to answer his son: "Xiao Chen will send you and Xiao Tian to school, and I will drive away by myself."

"Let Uncle Chen take you there, we have a school bus." Sheng Wang said.

"What car?" Sheng Mingyang ignored his back, busy on both sides, and couldn't hear his son's words clearly.

"..."

Sheng Wang waved his hand: "Call you, I've eaten."

Sheng Mingyang curled up two fingers and made a gesture of kneeling and apologizing, then opened the glass door and went out to the terrace.

When he returned to the house after answering the frustrating phone call, Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian had already finished breakfast and left, while Xiao Chen was still waiting for him outside the courtyard.

There are phoenix trees in every old street in this city. It takes many years to stand on the seaside with traffic and traffic. The thick branches and leaves are entangled and intertwined, covering the sky and the sun.

The sun can only shine down through the gaps, leaving mottled marks on the ground, and pedestrians walk through the light and shadow.

There are many mobile food trucks on this street outside Baima Alley, and there are hot white mist and people queuing in front of the trucks.

Sheng Wang avoided the crowd and waited for the red light in front of the sidewalk around the corner.He glanced back at Old Street, and said to Jiang Tian: "When I was young, I was very good at making troubles, and I often made troubles early in the morning."

"And then?" Jiang Tian asked.

"Then come to this street to inspect the people's sentiments." Sheng Wang said: "I must walk from the street to this side, and see that everyone's life is stable, so that I can go back to sleep with peace of mind."

Jiang Tian laughed: "Why this street."

"Because it's lively." Sheng Wang said, "People have to be chattering to be interesting."

After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Tian's dry expression, and immediately smiled: "Oh, no, no, I'm not mocking you for being boring, you're fine if you're frozen, that's all I'll say."

"But to be honest." Sheng Wang bent his eyes to look at the traffic lights, "If you had come a few years earlier, I would definitely welcome you."

"Why?" Jiang Tian asked again.

His way of chatting has changed in the past two days. It is no longer the final "um" and "oh", but he will actually throw the hook down.

"Because I really wanted a brother for a while, it doesn't matter if it's older or younger than me, it's better to be younger than me." After Sheng Wang finished answering, he suddenly patted Jiang Tian and said, "Go quickly when the light is green. What time does the school bus arrive? "

"6:[-]."

"It's okay, in time."

Sheng Wang glanced at the time on his phone, crossed the sidewalk with Jiang Tian, ​​walked to the platform on the other side of the street and waited.The topic of brothers can no longer be brought back.

In fact, Shengwang was a cheapskate when he was a child, and he didn't like all the living things that robbed him of toys, limelight, and snacks. If he really had brothers and sisters, he might roll into a ball of real people fighting every day.

Later, the grandfather who took him to patrol the streets was gone, and the mother who called him "Wangzai" every day was gone. Gradually, Sheng Mingyang was not around often, and he was not so stingy.

In those two years, he especially hoped that there would be more people in the house.It is best to be a younger brother, who is younger than him and who has been around for a longer time.

One day later, he suddenly realized that even being a brother doesn't mean much.

When you come, you always have to go.

At 6:[-], the school bus stopped at the site on time.

As soon as Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian got up, the bus was full of girls and they all started chatting loudly, making Sheng Wang almost retreat to the platform.

The driver master saw that he was a stranger, and made such a big noise again, he immediately awakened his professional ethics.He pouted at the machine next to the driver's platform: "How tall is it? The card is there, take it out and swipe it."

Sheng Wang had never been on a school bus, so he didn't understand the operation at all.He froze for a moment and asked, "What card?"

"School card, what kind of card." The driver said.

The school card and badge of the attached middle school are one thing, which contains both student information and money, and is especially important for boarding students, who rely on it for eating, bathing and drinking water, but it is dispensable for Shengwang.

The Xile Convenience Store can use mobile phones, but he has said goodbye to the cafeteria for a long time, and he never remembers to bring his school card when he goes out.

"No?" The driver asked suspiciously.

Sheng Wang touched his nose embarrassingly, and was about to say, "Why don't I get out of the car", when Jiang Tian's voice sounded behind him: "Bring it."

He reached out from behind, swiped the machine past Shengwang, and then stuffed the card into his hand.

"When did you get it?" Sheng Wang was surprised.

"When you slipped out like a thief." Jiang Tian took his own and touched it on the machine.

Some people keep clamoring to take the school bus, run faster than anyone else, and have more empty hands than anyone else.

"Where did I put my card?"

"On the porch cabinet."

"Don't hit the door when you get in the car." The driver was clearly half a meter away from them, but insisted on holding the horn to announce the whole car, "There are vacant seats in the back!"

"Excuse me."

Sheng Wang hurriedly walked into the car, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two girls in the first row with flushed faces, and they didn't know what they were whispering.

Baima Lane is not far from the attached middle school. When we arrived at this stop, the school bus was almost filled up, and there were few empty seats, and they were all scattered. Only the last row had two connected seats.

The car started quickly, and Sheng Wang leaned on the back of the chair, glanced at the last row, and said to Jiang Tian, ​​"Just sit here."

He sat down in the third row, leaving Jiang Tian the empty seat in the second row obliquely in front, and then plugged in his earphones and swiped his phone.

He wrapped the lanyard of the school badge between his fingers and wound it round and round.

The boy next to him was in the same class as the two girls in the front seat, chatting with the back of the chair all the time.They seem to be Xu Dazui's history and politics team, and the news is a little faster than others.

Sheng Wang heard them mention the grade parent meeting.

He said no...

The parent meeting is the most troublesome thing for him to go to school, because he always has to explain to the teacher why his parents can't come.

He once suspected that there was metaphysics in this thing, and every time he picked it precisely when Sheng Mingyang was not around.

The first two periods in the morning were physics class, so Master Sheng didn't even bother to brush up his papers, so he concentrated on his methods, hoping that He Jin would be able to dispel rumors after the class.

As a result, after the second class, He Jin said: "Just to let you know, the grade-level parents' meeting will be held after two classes on Sunday afternoon, in the auditorium of Xiude Building. After all, the second year of high school is the most critical year."

Gao Tianyang muttered: "You also said the same in the first year of senior high school."

"Yes, every year is the key." He Jin said angrily, "No matter what, the school still needs to communicate with parents, and everyone should go back and talk to parents. 3:4 to 4:[-] is the grade meeting, and you have to sign in After [-] o'clock, I will return to each class, and several other teachers and I will chat with the parents about each of you, including your strengths and weaknesses, future development, etc. "

After He Jin finished speaking, he threw out what Sheng Wang was most afraid of hearing: "The requirement is that you must participate. If there are special circumstances, please come to me after class."

With a bang, Sheng Wang knocked on the table.

He pursed his lips, and hid his hands in the belly of the table to send Sheng Mingyang a WeChat message.

Closing: Did you get off the plane?

Health Encyclopedia: Down.

Health Encyclopedia: I agreed to let Xiao Chen see you off, why did I run away without saying a word.Angry at dad?

Closing: no

Closing: When will you come back?

Health Encyclopedia: It's hard to say, maybe it will be like next Thursday and Friday.

Health Encyclopedia: What's wrong?

Closed: ask

Health Encyclopedia: Is it all right?

Closing: no

Closing: I went for a run

After Sheng Wang finished speaking, he pressed the phone, feeling depressed.

Sheng Mingyang was busy, so he couldn't pay attention to the weather at home, otherwise he would find that it was raining heavily at 8 o'clock.

And his son knew this very well, so he didn't even bother to think of a plausible reason for lying.

Sheng Wang lay on his stomach for a while, took out his mobile phone and earphones from his schoolbag, walked out of the classroom and went to the other end of the corridor.

There is a corner on the right side of the bathroom, and the angle of view is very tricky. Students in class A love to come here to make phone calls secretly. As long as you don't hold the phone in your hand ostentatiously, it will be difficult to be caught.

Sheng Wang plugged in his earphones, and looked up the driver Xiao Chen's name in the recent call.

Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the corridor, which sounded like Xu Dazui at first, and he was startled.After pressing the screen briefly, he put the phone back in his pocket and waited for the other party to connect.

The beeping waiting sound was longer than usual, even a little longer.

After a while, there was a soft ring on the opposite side, and finally answered the phone.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Sheng Wang said straight to the point: "Uncle Chen, the parents' meeting is going to be held again, help me out, can you pretend for me again?"

The other party didn't know why he didn't speak, and fell into a moment of silence.

After a while, Jiang Tian's voice came through the headset, whispering, "You seem to have dialed the wrong number."

His voice is very soft, like a pine wind blowing a string.It may be because the earphones are too quiet, but there is a bit of gentleness.

Sheng Wang suddenly felt embarrassed.

It's like a person who is tense outside and starts to have a sore nose when he hears his parents say "what's the matter" when he enters the door.

It was obviously just a very simple sentence.

Shengwang didn't speak for a few seconds, and Jiang Tian didn't hang up either.

Class A is in the west of the corridor, and his corner is in the east of the corridor. The distance is only a few tens of meters. When the students yell, they can hear it twice through the earphones.

After a while, Sheng Wang said, "I hang up and call again."

Jiang Tian said, "Okay."

He reached into his pocket and pressed the side button twice, flicked through the recent contacts and looked back and forth a few times, but in the end he still didn't make a second call.

Gao Tianyang came over to go to the bathroom, put his shoulders on his back and greeted him.Sheng Wang took off his earphones and said, "Go to your toilet, I'll go to the office."

"what?"

"Tell Lao He about the special situation."

He chased his classmates through the corridor, then went to the office and shouted a report.

He Jin waved at him and said, "Come in, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, my dad can't come to the parent meeting." Sheng Wang said.

"Sunday is specially arranged by the school to avoid working days." He Jin didn't blame, but just tried to fight, "Can you let your dad coordinate the time? This parents' meeting is quite important. If you really can't attend the one in the auditorium, It’s okay to only come after 4 o’clock, half an hour is enough.”

"It's true that I can't come." Sheng Wang said.

"What about 10 minutes?" He Jin said, "If he comes, I can talk to him first."

Boys of this age are so out of shape that they are taller than a bunch of teachers.He Jin sat in a chair and had to raise his head when talking to him.

She saw Sheng Wang lowered his eyes and reached out to touch the bridge of his nose, like a silent confrontation.

He Jin's son is still very young and has no resemblance to Sheng Wang.But when she looked at the boy in front of her, she suddenly felt a little distressed.

She thought for a while and said, "Why don't you do it this way, and he'll come here next weekend. I'll wait for him here."

Sheng Wang smiled and said, "He travels a lot, so he's hard to catch. If I catch him, can I send him to you?"

He Jin understood, this meant that he might not be able to come next weekend.

She couldn't bear to ask any more.

It could be seen that Sheng Wang didn't want to stay here for a second.But she couldn't completely ignore her responsibility.

She considered for a moment, and was about to speak again, when another "report" sounded outside the office door.

I just heard this voice through the earphones, and Sheng Wang was very sensitive.He turned his head and looked over, and saw Jiang Tian standing tall in front of the door with his school uniform unbuttoned.

"Come in." He Jin asked him, "What's the matter with you?"

Sheng Wang watched Jiang Tian walk in, stood beside him, and said in his usual cold and indifferent voice: "No one will come to the parent meeting, so I can't attend."

He Jin: "..."

Sheng Wang's embarrassment was gone, and he looked at him with a question mark on his forehead, but he didn't lift his eyes.

He Jin said angrily, "Is this an appointment between you two?"

"Okay." He Jin nodded, convinced.

Both the first grader and the fastest progressing grader couldn't attend the parent-teacher meeting, so what else could she say?

"Why don't you just make a companion, and you can discuss it with your parents later. When I have time, I can have a small parent-teacher meeting for three people and talk about it?" After He Jin finished speaking, he waved his hand without giving them a chance to refute. Said: "That's it, let's go."

The two were kicked out of the office, but failed to return to the classroom, but were cut off halfway.

It was Xu Dazui from the Department of Political Affairs and Education who cut off the beard. With a solemn face, he waited in the corner of the corridor with his hands behind his back. He waved to them and said, "Follow me to the Duxing Building."

"Me?" Sheng Wang asked, pointing at himself.

"You two." Xu Dazui said.

"I haven't fought recently." Sheng Wang was a little puzzled, but he didn't forget to add, "Nor has he."

I don't know why Xu Dazu hurt his feet when he poked his mouth with these words, and his face became even uglier.But the anger didn't seem to be aimed at Sheng Wang Jiang Tian.

"About your lack of hearing test last time...Jiang Tian stayed at my place for a long time before, and asked to check the surveillance in the corridor, so we checked it." Xu Dazui said, "A lot of people have come to ask questions in the past two days If so, it can be regarded as a result, and I will give you an explanation today."
