Yang Zhao hung up the phone and dialed another phone.
It was a young man who answered the phone.
"Hello?"
Yang Zhao said, "Are you Liu Yuan?"
The voice over there was very loud, and the person who answered the phone shouted very loudly, "What? What are you talking about?"
Yang Zhao took a deep breath and amplified his voice.
"Are you Liu Yuan?"
The person over there finally heard it, and he said, "Yes, who are you?"
Yang Zhao said, "Is Yang Jintian with you?"
The voice over there paused for a while, and Yang Zhao heard that the noise was a little quieter, as if he had walked into a room. Then the person named Liu Yuan said to the other person: "Yang Jintian, who is this, the person looking for you called me here."
There was silence for a while, and then another person answered the phone.
"Hello? Which one?"
Yang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this voice, and said, "It's me."
"sister?"
Yang Zhao heard that the noise over there became quieter again, and she guessed that Yang Jintian should have walked into the bathroom. Her voice also lowered and said, "Where are you?"
Yang Jintian said, "Why do you have Liu Yuan's phone number?"
Yang Zhao said, "Where are you?"
Yang Jintian's tone seemed a little impatient, he said, "Outside."
Yang Zhao asked again word by word, "I ask you, where are you?"
Yang Jintian complained, and said, "I told you I'm outside, and I'll be home in a while."
Yang Zhao said, "Did you play truant these days?"
Yang Jintian was quiet for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I'll hang up first."
"Xiaotian!" Yang Zhao took the initiative to raise his voice which was rare.
Yang Jintian was somewhat afraid of his elder sister Yang Zhao, so he didn't really dare to hang up the phone, so he hummed over there.
Yang Zhao said, "Where are you, I will pick you up right now."
Yang Jintian could tell that Yang Zhao was really angry, and he felt guilty, and finally said, "It's at the music club in front of the school."
Yang Zhao hung up the phone, started the car and left.
When she drove to the entrance of Le Di Cabaret, Yang Jintian was already standing at the entrance. He saw Yang Zhao's car and walked over by himself.
Yang Zhao rolled down the car window and said simply, "Get in the car."
Yang Jintian opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
Yang Zhao glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said flatly, "Seat belt."
After Yang Jintian fastened his seat belt, Yang Zhaocai started on the road again.
While driving, Yang Zhao asked Yang Jintian, "Where's your schoolbag?"
Yang Jintian leaned on his arms and looked out the window.
"in school."
Yang Zhao didn't speak any more.
She took Yang Jintian home, called for takeaway, turned around after hanging up, and saw Yang Jintian sitting on the sofa with his head sullen.
The house was strangely quiet.
Yang Zhao stood by the phone for a while, then came to Yang Jintian's side and sat opposite him.
"Why are you playing truant?"
Yang Jintian still lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to go."
Yang Zhao: "Why don't you want to go?"
Yang Jintian didn't speak.
Yang Zhao said: "Indeed, there are not many children who like to go to school."
Yang Jintian pursed his lips, paused for a while, and whispered, "There is an exam today."
Yang Zhao said, "What exam."
Yang Jintian said: "Phase test."
Yang Zhao said, "You don't want to take the exam."
Yang Jintian said: "I passed half of the exam." After speaking, he said, "I don't even know how to do the questions."
Yang Zhao took a light breath and looked at Yang Jintian's drooping head.
"The problem will not be your own problem. That Liu Yuan, don't play with him next time."
Speaking of Liu Yuan, Yang Jintian raised his head, looked at Yang Zhao with a slight frown, and said, "Where did you get Liu Yuan's phone number?"
Yang Zhao said, "You don't need to know where he came from. This person has a problem with his character. You should stay away from him."
Yang Jintian closed his mouth and lowered his head again.
Yang Zhao looked at Yang Jintian, who had fallen into silence again, and fell silent.
She could see that Yang Jintian didn't take her words to heart. She is not good at persuading people, let alone criticizing, Yang Jintian's silence made her helpless.
When the takeaway arrived, Yang Zhao asked Yang Jintian to eat first, and she went to the study to call home and told her parents that she had found Yang Jintian.
"Let him live with me today, and I will send him to school tomorrow." Yang Zhao said.
The next day, Yang Zhao sent Yang Jintian to school and watched him walk into the school gate. She didn't leave just then, but parked the car and walked into the campus by herself.
This is the best key high school in the city, and the guards are also very responsible, and immediately stop people they don't know.
Yang Zhao told the guard that he was a parent and came to see the teacher. The guard asked which class he was in. Yang Zhao reported the class and the name of the teacher, and the guard let him go.
This high school is located in the center of the city, with a large campus and many trees planted inside. Yang Zhao once visited it once in summer. At that time, the wind was very strong, and the flowers and trees on the campus were all in bloom. The petals were blown down by the wind, and they were like a bead curtain, very beautiful.
In the city center, it is not easy to have such a view. So Yang Zhao likes this place very much. She looks at the students coming and going on campus, they are full of hope and vitality.
She found the teacher's office and knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, is Teacher Sun here?"
After she finished asking, she saw a woman in her thirties standing up from the innermost seat of the office. That was Yang Jintian's head teacher, Sun Yanhua.
Teacher Sun was taken aback when he saw Yang Zhao, "This is..."
Yang Zhao said, "I am Yang Jintian's older sister."
"Ah, hello, hello." Teacher Sun led Yang Zhao into the corridor and stood by a window to talk.
"Even if you don't come, I'll call to invite you." Teacher Sun obviously had a lot to say to Yang Zhao, "Yang Jintian skipped class a few days ago, his family knows about it."
Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Got it, I found him yesterday."
Teacher Sun was wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, frowning slightly, looking very worried.
"I also know this kid's difficulties, but it's not an option to go on like this. This year, he's already in his third year of high school. Looking at his grades in the college entrance examination next year..." Teacher Sun didn't continue, and sighed.
Yang Zhao said, "How much worse is his class?"
Teacher Sun said: "Basically I didn't learn the courses of the second year of high school. At the end of the semester, I failed the three subjects. You wait for me here." After speaking, Teacher Sun turned back to the office and came back after a while, holding A stack of test papers.
"Come on, parents, take a look." Teacher Sun put the test papers on the marble window sill and spread them out one by one. Yang Zhao looked over and saw that they were all Yang Jintian's exam papers. She picked up a few of them, and they were either red crossed or blank.
"This is his exam paper for the second half of the second year of high school. The other students took it home, and he kept it at school. If I hadn't saved it for him, he would have thrown it away if he couldn't keep it." Teacher Sun pushed Pushing his thin-rimmed glasses, he said to Yang Zhao, "He ran away after halfway through yesterday's stage test, and I also called his home."
Yang Zhao looked at the test papers on the window sill, and her first thought was to smoke a cigarette, but she also knew that it was just a thought.
"Mr. Sun, with Xiaotian's current grades, can he be admitted to university?"
Teacher Sun was half a head shorter than Yang Zhao, and she was also a bit fat. She looked at Yang Zhao with a frown, and her voice was a little hurried.
"Is it enough to just go to university? His grades in junior high school are so good, and he got into our experimental middle school with the second highest score in the class. You can't just set your goal to go to university. Now universities are everywhere, those pheasant universities What's the use of taking the money and going casually, won't the child be ruined!"
Yang Zhao was so choked that he couldn't speak, and Teacher Sun said: "Now this child is still unable to pass the psychological barrier. What happened to his family made us feel distressed as teachers, but we still have to look forward. It has been almost two years, and the child still cannot come out, this is the responsibility of your relatives. If this continues, a well-behaved child will be finished, not to mention how well the books are, and what to do if people fail to learn. "
After talking with Teacher Sun, Yang Zhao went into the school's women's toilet and smoked a full three cigarettes before coming out. She really wanted to go to Yang Jintian's class to take a look, but in the end she held back.
Yang Zhao sat back in the car, and when she was about to leave, she said to Teacher Sun, "Xiaotian is a good boy, and his current state is completely our responsibility, but teacher, please don't give up on him."
Just make sure you don't give up on him...
Yang Zhao's headache was about to split. She has never encountered this kind of thing since she was a child. She recalled what happened when she was in high school. At that time, she was a top student, with regular work and rest every day, reading and sleeping. She is not a completely disciplined student, and when a movie she likes is released, she will skip class to watch one. Parents may or may not know, and no one said much.
But Yang Jintian's skipping class is different from her skipping class back then, completely different.
Yang Zhao vaguely felt that something would go wrong with Yang Jintian if this continued. She took out the phone, but she didn't know who to call.
Father? Mother
Even if Yang Zhao closed his eyes, he knew what kind of method his parents would use to teach Yang Jintian.
Call people to the living room, make a pot of tea, and then let Yang Jintian talk about his difficulties, and then persuade him a few words—just like they taught Yang Zhao back then.
Yang Zhao didn't think this method was bad, but she felt that this method might not work for Yang Jintian.
Yang Zhao sat in the car for more than two hours, thought of many ways, and also thought of many ways to talk, but finally it all boiled down to a sigh.
Just as she finished smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, her cell phone rang.
Yang Zhao took out the phone and took a look, it was an unfamiliar number.
Looking at the string of numbers on the screen, she slowly sat up straight.
That's a gut feeling.
Yang Zhao picked up the phone, and there was a deep and gentle voice on the other side of the phone.
"Hello, Miss Yang, I'm Chen Mingsheng."
Yang Zhao hummed, and Chen Mingsheng said again: "Is it convenient for you later, I'll go to your place to get things."
Yang Zhao looked at his watch, it happened to be noon, she said, "It's convenient."
Chen Mingsheng said, "Then I'll be there in a while, and I'll be there in about half an hour."
"etc."
"Um?"
Yang Zhao listened to the soft hum, the tone seemed to pass through the microphone, directly transmitted to her chest, and brought her heart beating together, she didn't know what was wrong with her.
She said to Chen Mingsheng: "It happens to be noon, let's have a meal together."
After finishing speaking, she quietly waited for Chen Mingsheng's excuse.
This time, Chen Mingsheng was silent for two or three seconds, and answered in a low voice:
"good."
