this life is waiting

Chapter 24

This is what Feng Jiang and I planned yesterday. We slept until we woke up naturally, then went out, bought gifts, went to school, had dinner together, and went home.

But unexpectedly, this natural waking up was too much. After returning to the cage several times in the morning, it was already 12 noon.

I sent a WeChat message to Feng Jiang with a guilty conscience, saying that I went to bed late and might not be able to go out until after lunch. A few minutes later, she replied to me with the content: "Hahaha, I just woke up, and I was still thinking about how to explain it to you .”

Mistakes, if we all make mistakes together, we will live in peace.

Unfortunately, after lunch, our plans were delayed again.

My mother heard that after I met Wang Kaijie yesterday, she insisted on dragging me to the temple to worship, and asked Feng Jiang to come along, saying that after all, we both saw him together.

When I told Feng Jiang about this, I thought she would refuse. After all, we are all socialist youths, and my bad luck only happened after I met Wang Kaijie. It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with Feng Jiang.

But unexpectedly, she agreed, and said that when she went home yesterday, an egg fell upstairs and almost fell on her head. She said it must be because of Wang Kaijie!

Her gritted teeth made me dumbfounded.

The process of burning incense is very simple. My mother is familiar with this aspect. She took me and Feng Jiang to walk around the temple, stopping and praying. The image in my mind.

On the way, she was still chanting something in her mouth, looking very powerful.

After the end, with curiosity, we stopped by the door to draw lots.

There are very few people in the temple today, and since it is time for chanting, there are no monks in this hall.

I picked up the bamboo tube, and after shaking it a few times, a stick fell out. Feng Jiang picked it up before me, frowned and read out the content word by word, and then gave a long thank you.

I was surprised: "Do you understand?"

She shook her head: "I don't understand."

I:……

Me: "Then what are you doing?"

She smiled and put the lottery in my hand: "It looks like it's signed."

Me: "Oh."

well said.However, in this year, is there anyone who can draw a lottery?I haven't heard of it.

When Feng Jiang was drawing lots, I took my lottery and walked up to my mother. She put the money in the merit box and stood up, took my lottery, and read the words with a serious face.

After reading, he still stared at the sign and did not speak.

I asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

My mother: "I don't understand."

I:……

My mother: "However, it should be signed."

Hahaha okay.

The draw of lots by tourists in the temple is generally just for fun. The reason behind this is profound. I think the monks here probably don’t know it. If they knew it, they might go to fortune-telling.

But after thinking about it, monks still make more money.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the temple. My mother said that she had an appointment with someone to play cards and abandoned us. Perhaps because of the protection of the gods in my heart, Feng Jiang and I felt much better immediately. We did whatever we wanted, and even wanted to rush to the middle of the road. , I want to ask if you dare, if you dare to bump into me, there are people above me.

Although the plan was a bit late, it didn't have much impact. After all, college students' winter and summer vacations are really boring. We quickly went to the men's clothing store to buy a tie, and then quickly went to school, just in time for their last class.

Feng Jiang and I would come to the school when we were bored and had nowhere to go during the holidays. The former homeroom teacher was very kind to us and always took care of each of our students. The homeroom teacher was an English teacher. My English was still at a low level when I was in the second year of high school. The level is very rubbish, until one day, when I met the head teacher, he told me earnestly, Xiao Yi, your aptitude is very good, if you study hard, you can learn English very well.

People need encouragement, so I, who was encouraged at the time, worked hard to study English for a period of time, and found that I had really improved a lot. After thinking about it, it was a pity to just fall like this, not to mention my aptitude is good, so Just going further and further on the road of serious study, getting out of hand.

After graduation, another female classmate in our class said during dinner that she regretted it. The class teacher said that she had good qualifications and a talent for learning English, but it was a pity that she didn't listen and didn't study hard.

After her words fell, most of the students on the table put down their chopsticks one after another, and said that the head teacher had also told them so.

The teacher in charge is really, really, really good...

That being said, I'm still very grateful to him.

Feng Jiang and I bought some fruit.The head teacher's office is still the same place as before. When we arrived, he was sitting and correcting the test papers with glasses on. When we called her, he looked up and smiled sincerely.

The teachers still like to visit their students after graduation. He even forgets the names of some students, but he is always very happy to go. After all, they are all students brought out by themselves. Of course, they are happy to come back with such a heart.

But it may also be another kind of satisfaction, for example, I have someone to see if you don't.

"Oh, come here every year and bring fruits, you really are, hahaha."

The head teacher said this very loudly, coupled with his original deep voice, it sounded like a curse.

The other teachers looked back one after another because of this.

Feng Jiang and I looked at each other awkwardly.

This is indeed the first time we have bought fruit here. We used to go shopping empty-handed. If the teacher had a class, we would drop by and listen to it.

The reason for bringing fruit today is that my mother told us to buy something after she found out about it, and said that we were ignorant before.

The head teacher pulled two chairs for us and made two cups of tea by the way.He first asked a few questions about my recent situation, and then Feng Jiang's. After the three of us chatted about the future and prospects for a few minutes, we felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so we changed the subject.

The teacher in charge looked at me, and said with an ah, "Xiao Yi, He Cheng, who was admitted to your school in your second class, do you know each other?"

I was surprised: "He Cheng? The Cheng who clarifies the lime water?"

Class teacher: "Yes, that's her."

I was surprised again: "He Cheng is from our school?!"

It may be that my volume suddenly increased, Feng Jiang paused for drinking water, and looked back at me.

I heheed, calmed down, and waved my hands: "I know, but I didn't know she was in the same high school as me."

It turned out to be a junior, and it turned out that she had been a junior for so long.

"She is He Cheng." The class teacher took a sip of tea and added: "The first and second graders were quite unremarkable, but later a mock test actually made it into the top ten. After the results came out, our teacher was very surprised. The parents chatted and made an exception to let her attend our experimental class."

When the head teacher said this, he had a look of appreciation.

This is another side of He Cheng that I don't know about. It turns out that she still has this past. I don't know if this incident caused a sensation in the school at that time.

The meaning of the experimental class in our school is the key class. Now the Education Bureau does not allow these special classes, so we have to come here tacitly. Like some improvement classes and advanced classes, it probably means this.

I was surprised when I heard it, and I unlocked the phone subconsciously. The head teacher glanced at it indifferently, and then hummed suspiciously.

"Is that He Cheng on your screen?"

I turned my head to look at the screen and let out an ah.

Hearing this, Feng Jiang leaned over to take a look, and wowed: "Beauty."

The homeroom teacher smiled: "Yeah, I was still a little fat in the first year of high school, but the longer I grew, the better I looked." After speaking, he also leaned over to take a look, "I didn't expect you to use her as a screensaver."

Me: "It's pretty, hehe."

In order not to delay him changing the exam papers, I finished a few words with Feng Jiang and left the office. On the way downstairs, Feng Jiang took my mobile phone and swipe it several times, sighing He Cheng's temperament, I sighed that I would use a photo of a familiar person as the lock screen interface.

I laughed in my heart, there are so many things you don't know.

It was originally planned to have dinner together, but it was canceled because of a sudden incident at Feng Jiang's family. She said sorry to me several times, and after I forgave her generously, I took her to the car and left.

It was not time for school to end, the school entrance was empty, the food stalls on both sides were steaming from the food, and the boss looked at me with hot eyes.

I gave them a friendly smile and moved to the corner with my phone.

Between the phone and WeChat, I chose to call, but just after dialing, when He Cheng's name was displayed in the middle of the screen, my heart suddenly beat crazily, making my hands tremble.

So I got nervous and turned off the phone.

After pinching, I couldn't laugh or cry, what am I doing...

A few seconds later, her call came. I cleared my throat and picked it up. She didn't ask me why I just hung up the phone after ringing a few times, or what happened, but said, "It's over." ?”

It seems that we have been in daily life, without greetings or courtesy.

I thanked her and heard her say, "Wait for me at the school gate, and I'll come over."

After hanging up the phone, I let out a sigh of relief. In order to relieve the pressure of the spicy chicken in my heart, I bought a grilled sausage at the door.

He Cheng arrived much sooner than I expected. I stuffed the rest into my mouth indiscriminately. Seeing her pay the driver from a distance, she opened the door and got out of the car and walked over.

I walked up in three steps at a time, thinking to myself, is it a bit too much trouble for her to come here to get the gloves like this.

"So you also graduated from this school." I pointed to our school gate and looked at her: "I just found out today."

She put her hands in her pockets and looked at me, "Yes, senior."

I stick out my tongue, but this senior...

"Why don't you call me senior, you see, I've been your senior for several years."

She smiled: "I'm used to it."

I turned my head to look at her with disgust, and poked her shoulder three times with my index finger, saying one word at a time, "You're rude!"

She smiled and didn't respond.

I took the backpack off my back, took it out, and asked by the way: "What have you been doing these days?"

She looked down at my hands and replied, "Wait until you return the gloves."

I look up at her.

She looked serious: "City A is so cold, I dare not go out."

I oh, smiled apologetically, and continued digging.

Take it, take it...

"Ah!" I looked up at her and said in panic, "I forgot to bring it..." I couldn't laugh or cry: "I changed a bag today and I forgot, it was in yesterday's bag."

At this moment, I bent down slightly, lifted the bag on one leg, looked at her in a curled up posture, and was very wronged: "What should I do?"

She didn't seem in a hurry at all, and looked into my eyes with a deeper smile: "Next time."

I am even more wronged.

So, why did she come all this way?
