Xiao Wutong held her schoolbag and sat in the car next to Chi Nuan. As soon as he got in the car, he noticed Gu Ningzi who was also in the back seat, and couldn't help but leaned into Chi Nuan's ear: "Mom, this auntie is so beautiful."
He had tried to keep his voice low, but there was limited space in the car, and everyone could hear him.
He Zhen turned around with a smile, Xiao Wutong met her face, subconsciously went to find Chi Nuan's hand, hooked her thumb, still using his small voice, with some inexplicable excitement, said: "It's that aunt, Candy auntie."
Chi Nuan asked Xiao Wutong: "Xiao Wutong, what should you tell your aunts?"
Xiao Wutong said politely: "Hello aunties, thank you for sending me and my mother home."
He Zhen: "You're welcome, what grade are you in?"
"First grade." Xiao Wutong said obediently, sniffing her nose: "...Mom, what did you eat tonight?"
Chi Nuan said softly, "Barbecue."
Xiao Wutong: "Are you still drinking?"
Chi Nuan: "Smell it? I just drank a little."
Xiao Wutong looked at her with concern: "Mom, do you feel better when you eat, chat, drink and drink with Aunt Du and the others?"
Chi Nuan was taken aback by his question, she thought she had disguised herself well in front of Xiao Wutong, but she didn't expect Xiao Wutong to still be able to detect it.
Chi Nuan felt a little guilty, she made Xiao Wutong worry.
"Much better." She leaned on Xiao Wutong's lovely watermelon head distressedly, and Xiao Wutong smiled happily.
Their communication process was soft and soft, and He Zhen looked at them in the rearview mirror, only to feel a kind of calming attraction.
The car drove into the community, although Chi Nuan kept saying that it would be fine to send it here, but Gu Ningzi didn't make a statement, and He Zhen drove the car all the way downstairs to Chi Nuan's house.
Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong out of the car, Xiao Wutong was carrying a schoolbag outside the car, and Chi Nuan bent over to look at Gu Ningzi in the car. Now that we are separated, and I don't know when the next meeting will be, she reluctantly said: "Goodbye."
Since entering the community, Gu Ningzi has been looking out the window, and only turned her head when she heard Chi Nuan's voice: "Goodbye."
Xiao Wutong went around to the window of the driver's seat, grabbed the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, smiled shyly at He Zhen, and asked her, "Auntie, can you give me the candy from last time?"
Chi Nuan originally wanted to say something to Gu Ningzi, but when she heard the words, she whispered, "Little Wutong..."
She walked over, Xiao Wutong turned to look at her, Chi Nuan shook his head at him: "You can't do this."
Xiao Wutong also knew that it was wrong to take the initiative to reach out and ask others for something. He lowered his head: "But Mom, this is what you like... I think you are happy."
Chi Nuan pulled Xiao Wutong away from the car, enduring the sourness that ran up her eyes and nose, she said to him: "Chi Zheng, mother is very happy that you can think about mother so much. But mother hopes you understand , 'Want to' do, and 'can' do it, are two different things, okay?"
Xiao Wutong nodded, looking past Chi Nuan, looking at He Zhen a little embarrassedly.
The back seat window fell, and Gu Ningzi hooked her fingers at Xiao Wutong.
Xiao Wutong's eyes lit up and ran over immediately. Gu Ningzi gestured to Xiao Wutong to spread out her hands, and then she put a handful of chocolate candies in his slightly closed palms.
"Thank you! Thank you Auntie!" Xiao Wutong couldn't help shouting to Chi Nuan behind him: "Mom! Look! Auntie gave me so much!"
The corners of Gu Ningzi's lips had a slight upward arc, which was very shallow and disappeared in an instant.
The window was closed again, this time, Gu Ningzi really left.
Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong watched them all the time until they couldn't see the taillights of the car before they went upstairs.
Xiao Wutong stomped heavily, and the voice-activated light in the stairwell turned on. Chi Nuan's heart was dull and depressed, she sighed silently, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to the five-person friendship group: "I'm home."
No one answered, probably because the atmosphere was strong over there, Zhao Jingjing said something, and she must not be drunk or return tonight.
Chi Nuan put the phone in her bag, looked up, and under the dim yellow voice-activated lights, the slightly mottled walls were sprayed with red paint, and a big word "kill" came into view. The knees went soft on the spot.
Xiao Wutong probed from behind her, with timidity and fear in her big eyes: "Mom, what are the words on it?"
Chi Nuan didn't answer, she put her arms around Xiao Wutong's shoulders, and the two went up to the sixth floor with trembling, and found that this floor was even more unsightly, and the door opposite the door was completely splashed with red paint, "I don't pay my debts. ""At your own risk" eight big characters floating on the wall like blood.
The man opposite the door was addicted to playing cards a few years ago. Later, some people in the circle began to take him around to gamble. The more he gambled, the more he gambled. His neighbors all said that his foreign debts became profitable, and now he probably owes a few million.
Chi Nuan opened the door of her own house as fast as she could, and flashed in with Xiao Wutong, she dropped two locks in a row, and she felt a little more at ease.
It was very late, Xiao Wutong had already been sleepy, but he was so frightened in the stairwell that he was still asking Chi Nuan when he was brushing his teeth, what happened
"Uncle Zhu, who is opposite the door, may have gotten into some trouble." Chi Nuan told him truthfully.
"Oh." Xiao Wutong grumbled after brushing his teeth, "Mom, I will definitely not cause you trouble, I will listen to you."
Chi Nuan: "Yes..."
Xiao Wutong went to bed, it was almost eleven o'clock, Du Min privately chatted with Chi Nuan: "We changed the venue and continued to drink [circle]"
Chi Nuan: "Let Zhou Damao drink less, where are you three girls."
Du Min: "[OK] It's fine, we didn't drink white."
Du Min: "By the way, when you went to the bathroom, we talked to Gu Ningzi about you. The school's working atmosphere is poor, and you are living alone with the children left by your brother. It is really difficult. Everyone is a classmate, If she has a suitable position and her classmates don't help, who will help? Nuan Nuan, don't blame us for talking too much? Although we don't usually talk about it, we all feel sorry for you, but unfortunately we have enough spare capacity and can't help you. "
Chi Nuan's eyes suddenly blurred.
It turned out that Gu Ningzi didn't want to talk about work. Before He Zhen's questions, she already knew that she was not suitable. So this is based on the classmate's position, sympathizing with her and sending her home
Du Min: "At that time, your relationship with Gu Ningzi was the best. Let's guess, she shouldn't help this, right?"
Chi Nuan typed word by word: "Thank you. Gu Ningzi's assistant talked to me tonight, maybe I'm not suitable."
Du Min came over with a wailing expression.
That night, Chi Nuan couldn't sleep at all. Tossing and turning on the bed, at three or four o'clock, she turned on the computer and curled up in the chair to watch the movie six years ago.
"Amnesiac Lovers".
What did Gu Ningzi say at that time
"It's hard for two people who have been separated to meet again, let alone amnesia?"
A prophecy.
Chi Nuan's world is very small. Over the years, intentionally or unintentionally, carrying the phrase "see you tomorrow" that I don't know when it will be fulfilled, I have been standing still. Gu Ningzi is no longer the Gu Ningzi she once was. If it weren't for Dr. Zhou, the two would never have any intersection.
Chi Nuan stared at the dark end credits of the movie, and kept replaying Yao En's face that was so painful but couldn't shed a single tear in her mind, and covered her eyes in discomfort.
…
When I woke up early, the sky was gloomy, so Chi Nuan took an umbrella and hung it on a small sycamore schoolbag. Xiao Wutong fell asleep and pushed on the quilt. He had a cold. He kept coughing when he went downstairs. Chi Nuan asked him, "Have you brought the medicine for lunch?"
Xiao Wutong said with a nasal voice: "Bring it."
Chi Nuan: "Don't forget to take your medicine on time, and drink more warm water at school. If you feel sick, be sure to tell your mother."
Xiao Wutong: "I know!"
The red paint in the stairwell was cleaned up a few days ago by the affected residents who raised money spontaneously after contacting the community to no avail. At this time, someone was talking about the fact that Lao Zhu was chased by a debt collection company in the open space downstairs. He was scolding him while talking, hurting others and himself. What if you ran away by yourself? Make other people feel scared and suffer losses, what!
Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong over, and the resident on the third floor said to her: "Xiao Chi, you also live on the sixth floor, lock the door at night, Lao Zhu's wife is still there, maybe the debt collection agency will come. I listen. It is said that there are various methods of debt collection companies, only you can't think of it, and they can't do it without them!"
Xiao Wutong raised her chest and said, "I will protect my mother."
"Hey, this child, your aunt didn't raise you in vain, filial piety!" Everyone praised Xiao Wutong every word, and Xiao Wutong hugged Chi Nuan's arm shyly.
It was the beginning of December, and not long after Chi Nuan arrived at school, Director Huang sent over the results of the students' evaluations for the first three months.
As soon as Wang Lili saw her grade, she immediately yelled at Director Huang that it was unfair: "Is the school not considering the actual situation? When I am willing to change classes? When did I not get 'excellent' in the previous assessment? This time 'good' counts What's going on, Director Huang!"
Director Huang shouted haha and walked away.
Chi Nuan looked at the word "unqualified" after her name on the A4 paper without saying a word. She didn't know that her students had such a bad impression of her teaching.
He held his forehead for a while, and it was time to go to class. Chi Nuan disheartenedly packed up the teaching aids and left the office. Before she stepped out of the door, Wang Lili threw a book on the spot: "That smoky class, I dare to say that whoever takes over will be unlucky! Teach them with heart and lungs, who will appreciate it!? "
Chi Nuan knew that Wang Lili was deliberately telling her to vent her dissatisfaction.
She can bear the quarrel between colleagues, but being badly criticized by the children and the word "unqualified" is the real slap in the face.
There is no teacher who does not want to be respected by the students, but Chi Nuan only realized today that the significance of his teaching has been completely denied by the children.
The bell for class hadn't rang yet, and as soon as Chi Nuan entered the back door of the classroom, she realized that the atmosphere was not right.
The desks in the back row collided in a mess, Wu Keke cried and roared: "You are all bad guys! Teacher Chi is so good, you still want to bully her! You all need to change, and change the grades back! You are so bad! , woo woo woo..."
"She's so good!" A little boy turned his back to Chi Nuan and shouted at Wu Keke hysterically: "It's not that she taught us once for you! Who doesn't know, she's a broken shoe! Broken shoe! ...you idiot, you don't even know what to tell you!"
Wu Keke shouted and rushed forward with his thin arms to fight. Chi Nuan hurriedly dropped the teaching aid, stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder: "Wu Keke, you can't fight!"
Wu Keke had already played a few games in advance, and he was completely at a disadvantage. His hair was disheveled, and half of his cheeks were red and swollen.
Chi Nuan saw it and almost cried. She took Wu Keke to the infirmary and asked the school doctor to take an ice pack and apply it to her face.
Wu Keke pressed the ice pack, Chi Nuan raked her hair, and re-braided her.
Wu Keke looked up at her, and Chi Nuan said, "Wu Keke, Teacher Chi knows that you are trying to protect the teacher, but the teacher is not happy."
Wu Keke asked pitifully, "Why?"
Chi Nuan: "Because you are injured. ... Promise Mr. Chi that no matter what happens in the future, you must first ensure your own safety, okay?"
Wu Keke said angrily: "But they are bad! They all say bad things about you! They even give you a low score on purpose!"
Chi Nuan combed her ponytail, went around to Wu Keke, bent her legs, and looked at her: "Wu Keke, people who are willing to believe in you, even if you don't explain, they won't spread rumors behind their back; they don't believe you. People, even if you grind your tongue, they still think you are guilty! Some people in this world are reasonable, but some people are unreasonable."
Wu Keke nodded in understanding but not understanding: "Oh."
Chi Nuan: "Wu Keke, like the teacher, strives to be himself and become a reasonable person, okay?"
There was no clear day, and the sky was always overcast. Chi Nuan sat in the office, staring blankly at the blank WPS document, and it was not until a few minutes before she got off work that she carefully typed the words "resignation letter".
