Ms. Xu Jin's study was so neat and tidy that it was a little different from her sometimes-mouthed train-running temperament. She kept all the documents and paper materials that she used in separate categories, and neatly arranged books and various legal classics in the bookcase. It's kind of like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Xu Jin sat behind the desk, separated from Dou Xun by a large solid wood table, as if receiving customers.
"Sit down," Xu Jin put on light glasses and looked at the boy through the thin lenses. She couldn't figure out what happened to the genetic collision between Zhu Xiaocheng and Dou Junliang, and they gave birth to such a child. " I heard your teacher and your mother talk about what happened yesterday."
When Dou Xun saw that she was about to get another round of whipping with a familiar taste, he immediately lowered his head indifferently, put on a gesture of "I have made up my mind", and pretended to be dead.
Who knows, Xu Jin said casually: "The matter of postponing the college entrance examination is generally not as serious as they think. I have a general understanding of the situation. It is a pity that the extra points cannot be used, but I think that one more point in the college entrance examination can change the fate. People, this life is estimated to be so promising."
Dou Xun listened to this deviant comment and glanced at her, but he still did not let his guard down - the expression of restraint before exaggeration is also commonly used by teachers and parents.
"I also heard your teacher Zhang's complaint. She said that there is no valid reason for you to give up the college entrance examination. It is purely willful." Xu Jin said calmly, "But I think everyone has their own inner logic, especially you. Older people have more ideas, but you don't want to tell us, right?"
"Since you don't want to tell others, and probably don't want to tell me, I won't ask more about it." Xu Jin said calmly, "It was you who signed up for your own name, and now it is you who decided to drop the exam— Dou Xun, it is a good thing to be able to make your own decisions, it means that you matured earlier and won the starting line than others, but as an adult, I still have to remind you one thing, since you want to make your own decisions, you have to be responsible for yourself. Your teacher Why do you think you're self-willed, why you call around and complain, because she thinks you can't take responsibility, can you understand what that means?"
Ms. Xu Jin is not very similar to Xu Xilin. She looks very shrewd when she doesn't wear glasses, but she seems a little strict when wearing glasses. At first glance, her whole person has a very professional coldness. I don't know how she gave birth to such a lively and overly lively Xu Xilin. 's son.
"You are not too young. In the past, in poor families, you were able to establish a household at this age, but you are very immature. This is the reason why adults do not let you make your own decisions," Xu Jin said.
No young man would be indifferent when he heard these words, Dou Xun opened his mouth, just about to refute.
Xu Jin: "Should teachers teach politics? 'The economic base determines the superstructure', are you financially independent? Of course, you are in middle school, and the objective conditions do not allow it, but what about the subjective? Have you thought about this? Helping a classmate on duty at a fast food restaurant, you should know how much a day's shift is worth. Think for yourself, can you guys who are used to being pampered and pampered can survive on this meager salary? If one day Dou Junliang's conscience is completely destroyed by dogs After eating, I will no longer give you living expenses, what are you going to do, have you thought about it?"
Dou Xun was speechless.
"Economic independence, and spiritual independence," Xu Jin said, "What kind of person do you want to be, what kind of life do you want to live, and what kind of path do you want to take? Have you ever thought about all these? It’s okay to live, it’s normal, no one will say anything about you, because you are still young, teachers and parents still have the responsibility to take care of you, we will help you plan the future within the scope of our own cognition and ability, in order to ensure the smooth process of this process, We ask you to be obedient and cooperative, not to challenge us mediocre adults to solve problems again and again, can you understand that?"
Dou Xun hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Xu Jin: "There is still one week to take the exam. If you really know what goal you have, have your own clear reason for dropping the exam, and can bear the consequences of this incident, then you can make your own decisions from now on. If you want to I don't know, just do whatever you want, then it won't work. This rule is very simple, right? If you want to have the right to speak like an adult, you have to act like an adult. It's not okay to be coquettish and willful. You go back and think about it. "
Dou Xun had not received any decent education since he was a child. He was irritated and guilty by Xu Jin's remarks. He stood up and walked away with a heavy heart. At the door, he met Xu Xilin who was pouring herbal tea for the Queen Mother.
Xu Xilin asked Dou Xun in a low voice, "Why, what did you say?"
He secretly took a sip of Xu Jin's tea just now, and there was a layer of water on his lips. Dou Xun glanced at it, and suddenly blinked hard as if surprised, and shook his head randomly.
Then Dou Xun bypassed Xu Xilin, went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of iced black tea, and went to think about life.
Xu Jin: "Little Linzi, come in for me!"
"Xiao Linzi" probed his head and asked, "Mom, what are you calling me to do? Qilixiang... ah, Mr. Zhang - did you also sue me for buying one get one free?"
"Say you are restless and can't calm down to study." Xu Jin knocked on the desk, "Why did you take Dou Xuntao with you last night?"
Xu Xilin's eyes fluttered, and he muttered vaguely: "... hang out with my classmates."
"Going out to play with classmates" can be said with such a guilty conscience. He must have done something wrong. Xu Jin reached out and nodded at him: "Be careful, don't let me grab your pigtails - have you met Zheng Shuo?"
Xu Xilin: "Zheng Shuo? Who?"
Seeing his heartless look, Xu Jin let out a long sigh.
"Oh!" Xu Xilin finally reacted, "I see, your ex-husband?"
Xu Jin: "..."
That Xu Xilin jumped on the chair like a big monkey, his upper body was lying on Xu Jin's table, his knees knelt on the swivel chair and twisted: "He was the one who came to find me, the Jade Emperor, Grandpa Mao, assured me that I did not treason and collude with the enemy. Didn't even eat the enemy's sugar-coated cannonballs!"
Xu Jin leaned back, frowning at her precious son. Since Xu Xilin had met Zheng Shuo, she must have known that she had deliberately blocked Zheng Shuo from contacting him for so many years, but she didn't mention a word. Every strand of this boy's hair is a clump of cleverness, and he sells a set of tricks.
"Your dad saved an education fund for your university entrance exam next year." Xu Jin said, "He also said that if you are willing to study abroad in the future, he can take care of you."
Xu Xilin raised his eyebrows: "I'm not short of... Cough, you're not short of money, what more do you want him to do?"
Xu Jin asked back blankly, "What if I'm short of money?"
Xu Xilin changed his words without blinking his eyelids: "What is money? Thousands of dollars are easy to obtain, but beautiful women are hard to find. Who would let a beautiful woman not follow him, and have lived with an old man with a wrinkled face? Besides, there is more than one beautiful woman in our family, my grandmother Shuixiu. With a flick, it can be worth two large villas."
"You..." Xu Jin wanted to say something with a straight face, but he broke down in the middle, didn't hold back, and smiled.
She couldn't help but recall Zheng Shuo back then.
He is a natural amorous seed, handsome, sweet-mouthed, and has so many tricks that he can't figure out how to come up with it. No matter how hard he is, he can make himself elegant and graceful. He can satisfy all the fantasies of girls. .
It's a pity that the glass bottle is not made of soy sauce, and the libertine is not to live.
Flower Butterfly is nostalgic for the beautiful purple and red, you are just one of them, after the season, he will go to the next round of Fangfei, and he can't keep it.
"I didn't like to let you have more contact with him before because..." Xu Jin paused involuntarily, she admitted that everyone has the right to choose their own way of living, but no matter how tolerant, as a mother, she still has selfish.
She didn't want Zheng Shuo's irresponsible and libertine temperament to affect Xu Xilin, even though her son who had been nurtured by her for so many years still had a tendency to develop in that direction.
"I understand." Xu Xilin interrupted her.
Xu Jin was stunned: "What do you understand?"
Xu Xilin said with a smile on his face: "Every decision made by the great fairy in my family is wise, and I and other mortals firmly support it."
This flattery, self-taught without a teacher, is completely natural.
If I grew up with Zheng Shuo, I still don't know what kind of virtue I have to become.
Xu Jin: "What the heck, the longer it grows, the more it looks like the one surnamed Zheng... Well, you better kneel down."
Xu Xilin doesn't like this evaluation very much. His impression of Zheng Shuo is still "pretending" and "irresponsible". He feels that he has been scolded by Xu Jin, but it is not easy to protest clearly. Xu Jin himself did not say anything. Zheng Shuo is not good. As a son, he has no reason to take over in this matter, so he had to run away in a sullen mood.
Dou Xun listened to Xu Xilin's footsteps, and his back stiffened involuntarily. With his hair standing on end, Xu Xilin pushed open the door and entered.
There were two chairs in Dou Xun's house, one he sat on himself, the other was piled with a lot of things, Xu Xilin glanced at his neatly folded bed, knowing that Dou Xun didn't like others messing with what he had packed. Something, I intend to sit directly on the ground.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his trouser legs, Dou Xun seemed to have predicted his actions and said aloud, "It's okay, you can sit on the bed."
Xu Xilin glanced at him suspiciously, and felt that Dou Xun's transformation had changed without warning.
Dou Xun squinted at the foot of the bed, pretending that he hadn't been staring at each other all the time.
"What did Lafayette say to you," Xu Xilin asked while sitting beside the bed, "Are you going to take the exam next week?"
Dou Xun: "Probably."
The literal meaning of Ms. Xu Jin's remarks is "let him think about it", and the implication is "don't make trouble without reason".
After Dou Xun became angry and impulsive, he also admitted that abandoning the exam was totally unreasonable, and nostalgia was one reason. In addition, he also wanted to gain a sense of presence in front of Dou Junliang and Zhu Xiaocheng.
After sitting for a while, Xu Xilin forgot that this was someone else's bed, and resumed his habit of rolling around. Going to school, can't you live in our house?"
In Dou Xun's house, the curtains are drawn all the year round, and only a small table lamp with a low wattage is turned on. It is always indistinguishable between morning and evening. The light in the whole house is pinched together, and the total is only a thick cluster. From Dou Xun's point of view, This cluster of light seemed to be dragged over by Xu Xilin and hid it in his eyes.
His eyes seemed to be able to focus and ignite, and Dou Xun's chest burned with panic, almost annihilating the calmness just now.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xilin turned to his side and muttered again: "But then again, even if you take the exam again next year, we probably won't be able to get into the same school, and we will have to separate next year."
The little spark suddenly went out.
Dou Xun stared at him for a while, and suddenly realized in his heart that he didn't miss the mediocre high school life, but Xu Xilin.
