Aside from this subtle change, Baima Longtang No. 7 had a good life, but it failed to last a few days.
Sheng Mingyang's previous troubles have not been completely resolved, and new problems have arisen in business. On Friday morning, Sheng Wang came downstairs and bumped into an argument between him and Jiang Ou.
The content of the dispute is actually very simple. The general idea is that Jiang Ou feels that he can help, but Sheng Mingyang wants her to stay at home and take care of the two children.
Jiang Ou is a mild-tempered person, and Sheng Mingyang is not irritable. That's why, when they were deadlocked, there was a bit of a sense of nowhere to vent and helpless.
"Otherwise, what do I want to do when I wake up so early in the morning?" Sheng Mingyang said with his eyebrows pinched as he propped up the glazed table in the kitchen.
"but-"
Just as Jiang Ou was about to refute, he added: "You told me about Xiaotian 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, suddenly lost the interest in arguing, and fell silent.
Sheng Mingyang held 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 by 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 quick smile, and took out a bowl to scoop the porridge.
"What's the matter with you?" Sheng Wang didn't really hear the content of the dispute. He looked at Jiang Ou's back and glanced back at the stairs subconsciously.
Fortunately, Jiang Tian dropped two papers and went back to the house to get them. He didn't see this scene, otherwise I don't know how he would react.
Sheng Wang sometimes thinks the way Jiang Tian gets along with his mother is strange.
To say that the relationship is not good, Jiang Tian's protective attitude can clearly be seen in many details. No matter what, as long as Jiang Ou opens his mouth, he will not be hard-hearted to refuse.
But to say that the relationship is good... and it always seems to be missing something.
Sheng Mingyang's cell phone buzzed and vibrated. He hurriedly connected it, then turned to Sheng Wang and said, "It's not a big deal, I just have to travel for a few days and go to the airport in a while."
Shengwang is used to the situation of his flying around, and it is not surprising: "How do you get there?"
"Hello?" Sheng Mingyang said hello to the other end of the phone, and took time to answer his son: "Xiao Chen will take you and Xiao Tian to school, and I will drive another car by myself."
"Let Uncle Chen take you there, we have a school bus." Sheng Wang said.
"What car?" Sheng Mingyang looked at his head and ignored his cheeks, busy on both sides, and didn't hear his son's words clearly.
"… "
Sheng Wang waved his hand: "Call you, I'm having dinner."
Sheng Mingyang raised two fingers and made a kneeling gesture of apology, then opened the glass door and went out to the terrace.
After he answered the frustrating phone call and went back to the house, Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian had already finished breakfast and left, while Xiao Chen was still waiting for him outside the hospital.
Every old street in this city has phoenix trees. It has been a stop for many years at the seaside with traffic and people. The thick branches and leaves are intertwined, covering the sky and the sun.
The sun can only shine through the gap, leaving mottled traces on the ground, and pedestrians walk through the light and shadow.
There are many mobile food trucks on the street outside Baima Alley, and in front of the cars are hot white mist and people queuing up.
Shengwang bypassed the crowd and waited for a red light in front of the sidewalk on the corner. He glanced back at the old street and said to Jiang Tian, "I was very good at tossing people when I was a child, and I often made trouble early in the morning."
"Then what?" Jiang Tian asked.
"Then I came to this street to inspect the people's situation." Sheng Wang said, "I have to walk from the other side of the street to this side. When I see everyone's life is stable, I can rest assured to go back to sleep."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Why this street."
"Because it's lively." Sheng Wang said, "It's interesting when people are chatting."
After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Tian's instantly dry expression, and immediately smiled and said, "Hey no no no, I'm not mocking you for being boring, you're fine if you freeze, I'll just say that."
"But seriously." Sheng Wang bent his eyes to look at the traffic lights, "If you had come a few years earlier, I would have welcomed you very much."
"Why?" Jiang Tian asked again.
His way of chatting in the past two days has changed. It is no longer the final "um" and "oh", and he will actually throw the hook down.
"Because I really wanted a brother for a while. It's okay to be older than me. It's better to be younger than me." After Sheng Wang replied, he suddenly patted Jiang Tian and said, "Let's go at the green light. What time does the school bus arrive? "
"6:30."
"It's okay, it's too late."
Sheng Wang glanced at the time on his phone, walked across the sidewalk with Jiang Tian, walked to the platform on the other side of the street and waited. The topic of brothers can't be brought back.
In fact, Sheng Wang was a cheapskate when he was a child. He didn't like all living things that robbed him of his toys, his limelight, and his snacks. If he really had brothers and sisters, he would probably have to fight with real people every day.
Later, the grandfather who took him to the streets was gone, and the mother who called him "Wangzai" every day was gone. Gradually, Sheng Mingyang was not there often, and he became less stingy.
In those two years, he especially hoped that there would be more people in the house. It is better to be a younger brother, a little younger than him, and a little longer.
One day later, he suddenly realized that even being a brother means nothing.
Come, always have to go.
At 6:30, the school bus stopped at the station on time.
As soon as Shengwang and Jiang Tian got up, the girls in the car started to make noises, making Shengwang almost return to the platform.
Seeing that the driver had a new face, he made such a big move again, and immediately awakened his professional ethics. He pouted at the machine next to the driver's platform: "How tall is it? Where's the card, take it out and brush it."
Sheng Wang had never been on a school bus before, 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 the badge of the attached middle school are the same thing, which contains both student information and money. It is especially important for dormitory students. It depends on this for eating, bathing, and turning on water, but for Shengwang, it is dispensable.
Xile convenience store can use mobile phones, but he has said goodbye to the cafeteria for a long time, and he does not remember to bring his school card when he goes out.
"Didn't you bring it?" the driver asked suspiciously.
Sheng Wang touched his nose embarrassingly, and was about to say, "Why don't I get off the bus," when he heard Jiang Tian's voice behind him: "Take it."
He reached out from behind, brushed the machine over Shengwang, and shoved the card into his hand.
"When did you take it?" Sheng Wang was surprised.
"When you sneaked out like a thief." Jiang Tian carried his own again and touched it on the machine.
Some people are clamoring to get on the school bus, run faster than anyone else, and have more hands than anyone else.
"Where is my card?"
"On the entrance cabinet."
"Don't go to the door when you get on the bus." The driver was half a meter away from them, but he insisted on holding the horn to announce, "There are empty seats in the back!"
"Excuse me."
Sheng Wang hurriedly walked into the car, and out of the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the two girls in the first row with blushing faces, not knowing what they were whispering.
Baima Longtang is not far from the Affiliated High School. When we arrived at this station, the school bus was almost filled, and there were very few empty seats, and they were all scattered. Only the last row had two connected positions.
The car started quickly, Sheng Wang leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at the last row, and said to Jiang Tian, "Just sit here."
He sat down in the third row, leaving the empty seat in the second row diagonally ahead for Jiang Tian, and then plugged in his earphones and brushed his phone with his eyes down.
The lanyard of the school card was wrapped around his fingers, going 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 the Shizheng class brought by Xu Dazui, and the news is faster than others.
Sheng Wang heard them mention the grade-level parent meeting.
He said no...
Parent meeting is the most troublesome thing for him to go to school, there is no one, because he always has to explain to the teacher why his parents can't come.
He once suspected that this thing had metaphysics, and every time he picked it precisely when Sheng Mingyang was not around.
Two classes in the morning were physics classes, and Young Master Shan didn't even bother to brush the papers, so he concentrated on his practice, hoping that He Jin would be able to refute a rumor after class.
As a result, after the second class, He Jin said, "Just to inform you, a parent-level 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 grumbled, "You guys said the same thing in the first year of high school."
"Yes, every year is the key." He Jin said angrily, "No matter what, the school still has to communicate with the parents. Everyone should go back and talk to the parents. From 3:00 to 4:00 is the grade meeting, and you need to sign in. After 4 o'clock, I will return to each class, and I and several other teachers will talk to 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 to hear: "The requirement is to participate. If there are special circumstances, come to me after class."
Sheng Wang knocked on the table with a thud.
He pursed his lips and hid his hands under the table to send WeChat to Sheng Mingyang.
Closing: Did you get off the plane
Health Encyclopedia: Down.
Health Encyclopedia: I agreed to let Xiao Chen send you off, why did I run away without saying a word? Angry with dad
closing: no
Closed: When will you be back
Health Encyclopedia: It's hard to say, it may be like next Thursday and Friday.
Health Encyclopedia: What's wrong
closing: ask
Health Encyclopedia: Is it really okay
closing: no
Closing: I went for a run
After Sheng Wang finished speaking, he pressed the phone, sullen and worried.
Sheng Mingyang was busy and couldn't pay attention to the weather here at home, otherwise he would find it pouring rain here at 8 o'clock.
And his son knows this well, so he doesn't even bother to think of a reliable reason for lying.
Sheng Wang lay down for a while, took out his cell phone and earphones from his schoolbag, walked out of the classroom and went to the other side 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 calls secretly. As long as they don't swagger and grab the mobile phone in their hands, it is difficult to be caught.
Sheng Wang put on his earphones and read the driver Xiao Chen's name in the recent call.
There was a sudden coughing sound in the corridor, which sounded like Xu Dazui at first glance, and he was startled. After pressing the screen, 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 ringing on the opposite side, and finally answered the phone.
Before waiting for the other party to speak, Sheng Wang said straight to the point: "Uncle Chen, there is another parent-teacher meeting, Jianghu emergency, can you help me pretend again?"
The other party did not speak for some reason, and fell into a silence for a while.
After a while, Jiang Tian's voice came through the earphone and whispered, "You seem to have pressed the wrong number."
His voice was soft, like the wind blowing strings. Maybe it's because it's too quiet in the earphones, it's a bit mild.
Sheng Wang suddenly felt embarrassed.
It's like a person who is stretched on the outside, and his nose starts to sore when he hears his parents say "what's the matter" when he enters the door.
It's obviously just a simple sentence.
Sheng Wang 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 between them is only a few tens of meters. When the classmates shout, they can hear it twice inside and outside the earphones.
After another moment, Sheng Wang said, "I hung up and hit hard."
Jiang Tian said, "Okay."
He reached into his pocket and pressed the side button twice, turned his head over the recent contacts and looked back and forth a few times, but in the end he didn't make a second call.
Gao Tianyang came over to go to the toilet, and greeted him by hooking his shoulders. 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 across the corridor, walked to the office and shouted a report.
He Jin waved at him and said, "Come in, what's the matter?"
"Teacher, my father can't come to the parent-teacher meeting." Sheng Wang said.
"The school's special arrangement on Sunday is to avoid working days." He Jin didn't blame, but was fighting for it, "Can you let your dad coordinate the time? This parent meeting is quite important. If the person in the auditorium really can't attend, It’s okay to only come after 4 o’clock, half an hour is enough.”
"It really won't come." Sheng Wang said.
"Twenty minutes?" He Jin said, "If he comes, I can talk to him first."
Boys of this age are taller than a bunch of teachers. He Jin sat in the chair, talking to him with his head up.
She saw Sheng Wang lowered his eyes, reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, like a silent confrontation.
He Jin's son is still very young and bears 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 like this, work hard for him next weekend, and I'll wait for him here."
Sheng Wang smiled and said, "He travels a lot on business, so it's hard to catch him. Can I send him to you if I catch him?"
He Jin understands that this means that he may not be able to come next weekend.
She couldn't bear to ask any further.
It could be seen that Sheng Wang didn't want to stay here for a second. But she can't completely ignore the responsibility.
She considered for a moment, and was about to speak again when a "report" sounded outside the office door.
I just heard this sound in my earphones, and Sheng Wang is very sensitive. He turned his head to look over, and saw Jiang Tian open in his school uniform, standing tall in front of the door.
"Come in." He Jin asked him, "What's the matter with you?"
Sheng Wang watched Jiang Tian come in, stood beside him, and said in his usual cold and indifferent voice, "No one will come to the parents' meeting, so I can't participate."
He Jin: "… "
Sheng Wang's embarrassment was gone, he looked at him with a question mark on his forehead, but he didn't lift his eyes.
He Jin said angrily, "Did you two make an appointment?"
"Okay." He Jin nodded and accepted.
The first grade and the two most advanced graders couldn't participate in the parent-teacher conference. What else could she say
"Let's have a partner. You guys will discuss it with your parents. Someday when you have time, I'll have a small parent-teacher meeting of three. Can I have a chat?" 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 blasted out of the office, but instead of returning to the classroom, they were intercepted halfway.
It was Xu Dazui of the Political and Religious Office who cut off the Hu. With a solemn expression, he waited in the corner of the corridor with his hands behind his back, and waved to the two of them and said, "Come with me to the Duxing Building."
"Me?" Sheng Wang pointed to himself and asked.
"You two." Xu Dazui said.
"I haven't fought recently." Sheng Wang was a little puzzled, and he didn't forget to add, "Neither did he."
I don't know why this sentence hurt Xu Da's mouth, and his face was even more ugly. But the anger didn't seem to be directed at Sheng Wangjiang.
"About your lack of hearing test last time... Jiang Tian stayed at my place for a long time, and asked the corridor to monitor it, so we checked it." Xu Dazui said, "We have also asked a lot of people to ask questions in the past two days. , it is a result, I will give you an explanation today."
