After the vice principal left, it was the stage where Mr. Xie Ran performed.
He stretched himself on the podium: "Kids, we can go to the dormitory now."
Looking out the window, sure enough, there are several white sightseeing cars under the shade of the trees. The driver has just parked the car and is waiting for them bored.
She and Pei Zhi were still standing, saving the steps of sitting down and standing up again, they both walked out the door at the same time, Hanamaki and Lu Zhihao hurriedly followed.
"Damn, why is this vice principal like this!"
As soon as he went out, Hanamaki began to be filled with righteous indignation, and Lu Zhihao remained silent.
"Don't be sad, let me tell you, who hasn't encountered a few rubbish teachers in this life..."
Hanamaki was still mumbling, Pei Zhixiao went back silently, pulled the lever of the Hanamaki box, and asked, "Let's go?"
"Let's go!" Hanamaki was overwhelmed and took a few quick steps to take it.
Pei Zhi was carrying his black schoolbag, and walked in front very leisurely, the whole way was shaded by trees, very cool.
Just as Lin Zhaoxi came back from throwing away the bag of crispy noodles, she patted the seasoning powder on her hand and asked Pei Zhi, "Vice principal, didn't I take the high school student's test paper and make it for you?"
"It's possible." Pei Zhi replied, "I really don't understand."
"Isn't this bullying on purpose?" Hanamaki raised the volume again.
"It's normal if you can't do it, there's nothing wrong with it." Pei Zhi said in a clear and quiet voice.
"Hey!" Hanamaki said in surprise.
Lin Zhaoxi bent her eyes and smiled, looking at Pei Zhi's sober eyes, she suddenly felt that her impulse to slap the table just now was also silly.
This is Pei Zhi, he will neither be ashamed and angry because of the teacher's public education, nor sad because of ignorance.
Perhaps all the unknowns are the thing that makes them most happy
"You two are not angry at all!"
"What are you angry about?"
She and Pei Zhi asked at the same time.
Hearing this, the Hanamaki handle was furious, and he lifted it vigorously, loaded the suitcase into the sightseeing car, and stopped talking.
Behind them, the rest of the students also left the classroom one after another.
Although Xie Ran has a bad stomach, he is still much easier to get along with than the ruthless vice-principal. The children surrounded him chattering and asking questions, such as how the dormitory is divided, what to do in the afternoon, and whether there will be exams every day in the future.
Xie Ran smiled and said that he would know when the time came.
"Mr. Xie, do we really want to stay here for another month?"
"Don't worry, many of you will stay for less than a month."
"Hey..." The students sighed in dissatisfaction.
"Then how can we stay longer?"
Xie Ran: "Why do you ask that, I thought you all wanted to leave?"
When he said this, his eyes drifted towards them. Lin Zhaoxi was sitting opposite Pei Zhi, with luggage between them, Pei Zhi resting his stomach with one hand, his eyelashes drooping like a fan, he was thinking of something.
Lin Zhaoxi shrugged her shoulders, this little problem is leaving, what a joke.
"No, my mother will beat me when I get home."
"It's embarrassing to be eliminated too early!"
The children are still asking: "Can you tell us some customs clearance secrets!"
"The secret is to find good teammates and overcome difficulties together."
"What do you mean!" the children asked in unison, which made the forest bird spread its wings.
Xie Ran smiled: "Okay, okay, get in the car quickly and sit wherever you want."
—
Casually is the most troublesome word.
There are five sightseeing cars, and the children have gotten to know each other a little while ago. Those who have spoken to each other, and those from the same school, all sit together one after another. Those who are lonely choose empty seats without people, and the situation here is a bit embarrassing.
"Peizhi, Hanamaki, do you want to come to our place?"
Two children from Experimental Primary School ran over and invited them sincerely.
Hanamaki hates the world, but she doesn't know how to refuse the kind invitation.
Lu Zhihao was still beside him and said, "Why don't you go, it's from the same school after all."
Lin Zhaoxi was dumbfounded and almost wanted to pinch his face.
At this time, Pei Zhi said simply: "Let's sit here."
It's rare for the old man to speak, and he didn't even find any messy reasons such as being too lazy to move things, but he was more frank.
Realizing his determination, the two children touched their noses and left without saying anything excessive.
—
The sightseeing car starts.
The bright sun lost its original power by the big lake, the water breeze was gentle, and egrets and water birds rose into the sky from time to time. The children watched happily and forgot about the stressful exam just now.
This is just like a summer camp, Lin Zhaoxi followed suit and stretched.
The environment of the oasis base is really beautiful, it has just been built, and the facilities are brand new. Many schools will organize summer activities here.
Along the way, they saw many students climbing up and down in the outward bound training program, or holding hands with the teacher to feed the sheep, and there was a barbecue camp where the smell of barbecue came with the wind, and they forgot that they hadn’t eaten at all. .
The Hanamaki kid took a deep breath of the aroma of barbecue, and said with emotion: "It's great, I want to live like this for a month, and I don't need to take the exam."
"Why are you so afraid of the exam?" Lin Zhaoxi asked with a smile.
Hanamaki turned to look at Lu Zhihao directly: "Old Lu, let's talk."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhihao wasn't in a good mood after the exam, and Hanajuan yelled at him before he realized it.
"Tell these two why we are afraid of the exam."
"I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam!" Lu Zhihao said.
Hanamaki snapped her fingers and looked back at her: "Do you understand?"
Lin Zhaoxi shook her head.
"You don't understand if you have good grades." He looked at Pei Zhi again, and said directly, "Shut up."
Pei Zhi was indeed about to speak, but was yelled at by Hanajuan, with a rare smile on his face, he said seriously: "I just got a zero in the test."
"You don't count!" Hanamaki exclaimed in surprise, "If you know how to do high school questions, are you still human?"
"I'm not human at all." Lin Zhaoxi said subconsciously.
Hearing this, Pei Zhi raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Lin Zhaoxi hurriedly shouted: "I'm talking about Lu Zhihao!"
Lu Zhihao still hung his head and did not refute. From the looks of it, she just sang and chorused, and Pei Zhi's cooperation didn't make Lu Zhihao any happier.
Lin Zhaoxi had no choice but to poke him and ask directly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I... just feel that I will definitely not be able to stay, as if there is no point in continuing."
"If you are meaningless, wouldn't I be even more meaningless!" Hanamaki was furious.
"So, did you come here because you want to participate in the Jin Cup or get the five recommended places?" Lin Zhaoxi thought for a while and asked.
"Ah?" Lu Zhihao frowned, as if it was difficult to understand this question. Finally he said, "I don't know, what about you?"
"Each of us, let's talk about why you want to come!" Lin Zhaoxi clapped his hands and suggested.
"Not everyone..." Hanamaki said, "Just you."
"Why?"
"I don't have a reason, I just came here after passing the exam."
"If you don't have a reason, then you have no reason. How do you know that Pei Zhi has no reason?" Lin Zhaoxi looked away and looked at Pei Zhi.
"Me neither." This was Pei Zhi's answer.
"Eh?"
Lin Zhaoxi was very surprised by this answer. She always felt that whether it was the future or the present, Pei Zhi was a very clear-headed person who always knew what he was doing, what he was going to do, and why he was doing it. How could there be times when he didn't know?
"Why?"
After Lin Zhaoxi asked, she felt stupid again, why didn't she know why she came here, it was a bottomless pit with endless loop.
Looking at the three confused children in different degrees, Lin Zhaoxi was also confused, yes, why did you come
"What about you?" Pei Zhixiao asked her.
Looking at the young boy's clear and peaceful eyes, Lin Zhaoxi thought, I can't say it's to make up for the regrets of my previous life, for Lao Lin, for you...
So she chose the most honest answer at this stage: "Because I made a bet with the dean's mother that if I participate in the Jin Cup and win the championship, I can choose the family I want to go to."
"What do you mean by the family you want to go to?" Hanamaki was stunned.
"It's an adoptive family." Lin Zhaoxi said, "The dean's mother found a family for me, but I don't really want to go."
The Hanamaki kid gasped in a "sizzling" breath: "I forgot again!"
"It's okay, Brother Xi doesn't matter, you don't have to be careful." Lin Zhaoxi patted Hanamaki on the shoulder.
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and found that little friend Pei Zhi was staring at her seriously.
When Pei Zhi was young, he always made people feel casual and indifferent, and he rarely looked at a person so seriously, especially at this moment, his clear eyes were full of puzzlement and inquiry.
Lin Zhaoxi was immediately ashamed, and really wanted to say that it was not what you thought...
"So what kind of family did your dean find for you that you are so unwilling to go to?" Hanamaki interrupted her, giving her thumbs up, as if someone was behind her brother: "If there is any trouble, tell me, I will let me sister… "
"Good people, they are all professors!" Lin Zhaoxi laughed.
"Then why don't you go!" Hanamaki asked.
Lin Zhaoxi: "The family is very nice, so I'm going. I have my own ideals and pursuits."
Hanajuan and Lu Zhihao were dumbfounded when they heard it, but it was Pei Zhi who seemed to be waiting for what the ideal and pursuit she said was.
Not far away, the well-arranged white bungalows are already clearly visible, with gardens, small rivers, European-style street lights and many children playing. The teacher led the team, as if he was teaching the children to know various plants on the roadside, and further away, there was the sound of reciting English poems.
“when you are old and gray and full sleep, and nodding the fire, take down this book, and slowly read, and dream the soft look…”
Listening to that poem, Lin Zhaoxi lost her mind for a while. It was a poem that Lao Lin took her to recite when she was very young.
Then I realized that their topics somehow became so in-depth and so inconsistent with the daily life of elementary school students.
However, it was probably because the water wind and the laughter around were so beautiful, and the poem was so beautiful, she turned her hands behind her head, stretched her waist, and said slowly:
"Actually, at the stage of realization, I don't know what my ideals and pursuits are, so I always feel that those who know what they want to do at a very young age and work hard to persevere and keep doing it are very amazing."
She glanced at Pei Zhi and continued: "As for ordinary students like me, I often feel at a loss about what to do and why I want to do it, even studying... Why study? In order to get into a good university , In order to earn more money after work? Then what?"
"I don't understand, and what's next. But at this stage, I thought of a reason. For me, studying hard can give me more choices. I can use my grades to gain autonomy in my life, and That's important to me."
She shifted her gaze to Lu Zhihao and said seriously: "So anyway, an opportunity is an opportunity. Sometimes it appears difficult, sometimes it looks ugly and difficult, and sometimes its result is destined to make you feel sad, but in short, it is still We must try our best to seize every opportunity! After all, we often find the true meaning of many things when we do them seriously.”
"If you always feel that it doesn't matter if you miss it at this time, and it doesn't matter if you can't do it anyway, then maybe one day when we grow up, we will regret it."
After she finished speaking, she felt that the atmosphere around her was not right, and suddenly realized that her speech was too unprimary.
Sure enough, Lu Zhihao looked at her and said emotionally, "Thank you, Lin Zhaoxi, you recited the latter paragraph really well, which extracurricular book is it written in?"
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned for a long time, and finally laughed helplessly, and she couldn't help but think of Lao Lin again.
The wind brought the laughter of the children. It would be great if Lao Lin could be here.
