The price of rebirth

Chapter 37 It's not easy to be happy

When Liang Kui returned home from the airport, he did not expect such a coincidence that his aunt happened to be a guest at home.

"Auntie, you're here too." Liang Kui's smile contained many complicated emotions, and he immediately lowered his head, not intending to directly discuss this issue with Auntie.The real reason for Qin Yue's transfer was completely concealed by my aunt and uncle. Their family was not even willing to tell their relatives, so Liang Kui naturally would not take the initiative to ask.

The charming woman said pleasantly: "Xiao Rui, you came back today. Your mother just complained that you have no conscience, and you forget your mother when you have friends. I guess it will take you at least five or six days before you are willing to go home."

"How can I be heartless, Mom! I miss you, ha ha." Liang Kui shouted in the living room, and Liang's mother, who was cutting fruit in the kitchen, ran out happily: "You have a conscience!"

"Of course, Mom, I brought you red dates from City C, the kind you said was delicious last time."

Seeing her son being so caring, Liang's mother smiled with red dates, "Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I can buy your favorite dishes, that's fine. Fortunately, your aunt came over today and prepared a lot of dishes at home. I'll give you a call." Your dad, urge your dad to come back from work quickly, and your grandparents are at the second uncle's side, I'll ask them to send them over."

"I'm going to make a phone call, mom, go and talk with my aunt."

"That's okay." Liang's mother sat back on the sofa with the fruit, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Son, why are you alone, and Yue Yue went home? Call Yue Yue to eat together. Lian Zhi, Call my brother-in-law and Yue Yue, and I can have dinner at my house."

Liang Kui paused, and said as indifferently as possible: "Yue Yue didn't come back, he's still in school."

"What, why did you run back alone!"

"Mom, you can't blame me. I want to be with Yueyue, but Yueyue is procrastinating and doesn't know what to do. There is no rush today. He has to go home in a few days. It's almost Chinese New Year, so why not come back. At that time, it will not be too late for you to invite the Yueyue family over for dinner."

Mother Liang felt very sorry, and looked at her younger sister: "Lian Zhi, you call and remind Yue Yue to go home as soon as possible. I think he must be playing wild at school, and he doesn't want to stay at home during the Chinese New Year."

"Well, when he gets his grades, he will come back." My aunt forced a smile absent-mindedly.

Su Yan is a person who doesn't talk much. Qin Yue usually talks a lot, but he is extremely silent at home. Except for talking to Su Yan at meal time, he spends the rest of the time in the room playing with mobile phones and computers, or sleeping for a long time .

Su Yan knew what he was worrying about, but he could only pretend not to know.He also knew that Qin Yue would not worry for too long, and his beloved parents loved him deeply.It's really cruel not to let his son go home for the New Year, the pain is not limited to Qin Yue.

On the day when the report cards were distributed, the two of them came to the school together. This time, there were no parents present at the parents' meeting. Qin Yue was the only one present.

The two sat at the last table, waiting for the teacher to read their names.

Teacher Ma read: "No.1, Xue Shouren."

The students were startled and looked at Su Yan one after another.

Su Yan was not surprised. He calculated that he would not get the first place this time, and the result was as he expected. Because of the Chinese composition, he only got 0 points... He thought that there were only [-] points, and it was not bad to get [-] points.

Excluding Chinese, other subjects are actually similar to others in the class. Mathematics, English, chemical physics, etc. are all subjects that have a high chance of getting full marks. Most of the school's science students are good, and they are the first and second every time. The gap is mostly Chinese and English. This is not a special science subject, especially English is too difficult to compare with Su Yan. Su Yan has passed CET-[-], and the English test is not difficult, but Chinese is hard to say.

The composition is 1 points, but he can only get [-] points, and he lost [-] points, [-] points, a huge number.He was able to get No.[-] in the past, and his composition had fifty points or above.

As soon as Su Yan saw the composition topic in this exam, Su Yan knew it was over.

The title of the composition is "It's not easy to be happy", it's not a difficult topic, it's very suitable for expressing emotions, but when Su Yan struggled with how to write it, time was running out, so he ended the random composition hastily and couldn't remember what he wrote, but At this moment, he was looking at the test paper, wondering which teacher had corrected the composition, and even approved the sentence "Don't think too realistically or too negatively".

"Twenty points for composition? No wonder you were knocked out of the first place." Qin Yue exclaimed, regretting endlessly.

With a sigh, Qin Yue stared at him with wide-eyed eyes. The teacher and the students all watched Su Yan tear up the Chinese test paper into countless pieces that couldn't be pieced together.

Teacher Ma was very worried. Like other students, he thought that Su Yan tore up the test paper because he failed to get No.1.After all, Su Yan has always been number one, and it was a shock to be pulled down suddenly.

Then there was a meeting in the multimedia classroom, and Su Yan only got grade No.4. This time, the English test paper was quite simple, so Su Yan's advantage was small. He was basically just a few points behind the top students, but his [-]-point composition was left behind. Far.

What made Teacher Ma even more worried was Liang Kui. Su Yan failed in the exam because of composition. Composition, sometimes it really depends on luck.

But Liang Kui was weird, he only got No. 7 in the whole class, and his ranking plummeted. The teachers in several subjects yelled that it was a pity, Liang Kui should not have made many questions wrong, but Liang Kui seemed to be very sloppy, and he lost a lot of injustice. Points, let the teachers feel sorry for each other.

Teacher Ma's pressure increased sharply. Although the first class was still in his own class, the overall grades were not satisfactory, and all the favored ones fell. As soon as the meeting was over, Teacher Ma couldn't help calling Su Yan to stop.

"Su Yan, let's go talk."

Su Yan expected what was going on, so he asked Qin Yue to wait for him outside, and he went to the teacher's office for court training.

Teacher Ma is not willing to teach Su Yan a lesson. Su Yan is a good student with good grades and good style. He taught Su Yan for two years to understand what kind of student he is.Su Yan is good at everything, but he has no luck.What a child, he just doesn't let his parents worry about him.In the future, even if the college entrance examination is the worst level, it will still be a stable key university. If it performs normally, Tsinghua University and Peking University are certain.Studying in a good university is half the battle. If someone else's parents had already been successful, Su Yan's father didn't care about him.

As the head teacher, he cared for Su Yan from the bottom of his heart, called Mr. Su more than once, and even asked Mr. Su to come to the school to see Su Yan in a flattering and pleading tone, but Mr. Su always said he was busy, and then politely refused.Once, Mr. Su got impatient and sneered: What's the matter with graduating from Tsinghua University and Peking University?College students are everywhere now, is it worth showing off?But you can tell me a word for Yanyan, reading well is also a way, if you need money, just tell me.

That phone call made Teacher Ma very angry. Is there any father who said that about his son?He actually said that college students are worthless, even if they are really worthless, they shouldn't say it when they hear the teacher say that their son is the first in the next grade.As a father, shouldn't he be happy?Not happy?Shouldn't you be very proud?Such an amazing son.

Even though he hated Mr. Su very much, before the parent-teacher meeting this time, Teacher Ma still dialed Mr. Su's phone number. Unfortunately, Mr. Su on the other end heard the words "I am Su Yan's head teacher..." The phone was hung up, and the other party didn't even let him speak.He is an old man who is almost 40 years old, and he was stunned for a long time with a beeping phone, when the cold wind was blowing outside, he cursed in a low voice: "CAO!"

"Su Yan, do you know why I asked you here?" Teacher Ma said gently, and asked Su Yan to sit down.

"I didn't do well in the exam, I will try harder next time."

Teacher Ma was very pleased, but sighed helplessly: "I'm not worried about your grades, let's not talk about grades today, just chat casually, talk about your feelings in school, what you usually play, what friends you have, etc. Haha, I haven’t chatted openly with young people for a long time, I really miss it.”

"..." Su Yan looked at Teacher Ma inexplicably, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"The school is very good, life is very regular, sometimes I feel tired, but my heart is very fulfilled, the atmosphere is very good, I like the school."

Teacher Ma was surprised, and then nodded sharply: "Most of the students in school hate school. They feel like they are in prison, controlled and oppressed, and long for the colorful world outside. But I, teacher, just because I like school... so I became a teacher, you Do you believe it?"

Su Yan smiled: "I believe, the school is pretty good."

"Yes, the school is very good. I used to hate school too, but it was only after I stepped into society that I really felt that school was good. Even if I got up early and went to bed late every day for self-study, it was much better than outside. Besides, there were still many things to do when I was a student. Happy memories, many unforgettable friends. The good thing is not the school, but the youth.” Teacher Ma sighed, and couldn’t help touching his hair, he was only middle-aged, but already a little gray .

"Are you friends with Liang Kui, Lin Qiang, and Qin Yue?"

"Well, there is also Chen Yan."

Teacher Ma smiled and nodded: "Yes, having friends is a good thing. Friends at this time are worth making. Maybe you will never meet friends who are purely good to you in the future. Even college is hard to say. It is the embryonic form of society, no more than high school."

"I think so too." Su Yan agreed.

"How are you going to spend the new year? How about... come to the teacher's house?" Teacher Ma's tone was hesitant, not because he was unwilling to entertain Su Yan, but because he was afraid that his proposal would touch something in Su Yan's heart.

Fortunately, Su Yan still looks the same, Su Yan shook his head: "No, I'm going to look for my dad in City A."

Teacher Ma was surprised: "Really?"

"Well, someone from the government has come to the community to inform. It is estimated that a detailed notice will be issued in a short time. It is a big deal to sign the house demolition."

"That's right, you, you can go to your father." Teacher Ma said sincerely, he can't let his son come to the door and be kicked out, right?Think about it, although Mr. Su is busy with work, he is not so cruel.

This afternoon, Qin Yue, who had been listless all this time, suddenly received a call from home. Qin Yue rolled over and stood up straight, and shouted nervously: "Mom..."

Su Yan eavesdropped while eating noodles.

"Hmph, I wanted you to figure it out before you come back. Forget it, the New Year is coming soon, and your relatives will be surprised if you don't come back. Have you got your report card?"

Qin Yue responded cautiously: "Yes, I took it."

"Then come back quickly. I'll pick you up at the airport. Don't try to take the opportunity to run around."

"Well...I'm going to buy a plane ticket now."

Qin Yue hung up the phone and went back to the house, hurriedly packed up his clothes and money, "Su Yan, I'm going home, see you next year."

He couldn't wait to go and stumbled, and almost fell when he went downstairs.Rushing all the way to the airport to buy the next flight ticket, it will take two hours to get on. Qin Yue calmed down from his anxious mood. Looking at the airport where people were coming and going, Qin Yue hugged his luggage and quietly waited for the time to pass.

"Don't you want to eat something?" Su Yan handed him a pack of beef jerky.

Qin Yue raised his head in astonishment: "Why are you here?"

Su Yan pointed to his bag: "I'm going to City A too, and I'll take the same flight with you."

"Are you looking for my silly cousin?" Qin Yue blurted out.

Su Yan laughed: "Why do I look for him, I'm looking for my dad, he's in City A."

"Oh, so that's how it is. That's great. We can go together. Where is your father in city A? If you're not familiar with it, I can show you the way."

"Let's see then."

Two companions, the plane is easy to pass.

Outside the airport in city A, Qin Yue saw his own car at a glance. Before he could walk over, the parents in the car had already got down, staring at Su Yan with two pairs of eyes. Such scrutinizing and unkind eyes made Qin Yue hang his head down .

Su Yan took the initiative to say: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Su Yan, a classmate of Qin Yue and Liang Kui."

"Student?" Qin's father muttered.

"It's our class monitor, the best student in the whole grade, and my cousin's good friend. They both know each other well." Qin Yue deliberately put aside the relationship.

"Oh, monitor, Su Yan, right? Are you traveling to City A? Why don't you stay at our house and live with Yueyue, it's more lively with a companion."

"Thank you uncle for your kindness. My dad is still waiting for me, so I won't bother you. I'll take a taxi there, Qin Yue, bye."

"Why take a ride, I have a ready-made car, let me take you there, tell me the address, and I will take you there."

"No, no, it's very convenient to take a car, don't bother uncle."

Su Yan turned and walked away without even looking back.

"Get in the car." As soon as Su Yan left, the faces of the Qin family couple immediately became incomparably cold.

Qin Yue got into the car silently.

"How many places did you get in the exam?"

"Not yet."

Qin's father sneered: "It's useless to study, I raised you for nothing, wasting my food."

Qin Yue looked out of the window expressionlessly. He was eager to go home during the Chinese New Year, and he also expected that there might not be good fruit to eat after returning home.But that's what he thought.His father and mother used to hold him in the palm of their hands, and never cared whether his grades were good or not, as long as he was healthy and happy, there was no requirement.In the past, his father always said: My son is not a material for studying, I will let him be happy, throw him abroad in a few years to learn more, and come back and hang out with me without worrying about anything.

Qin Yue admitted that he was just spoiled by his parents, he stretched out his hands to eat and opened his mouth, living a happy life like the prince.Anyway, no matter what he did wrong, his parents will definitely be there for him.

He doesn't study hard, he likes to sleep late, he has bullied other students, he spends money to chase stars, he dresses well and eats well, he is also a bad student, but my father never cares about these.

But he didn't expect that when his former parents changed their faces, he would feel such pain and fear in his heart.He even naively thought that if his parents loved him so much, they might accept his relationship with Guan Wen. He thought about it seriously, thinking about how he would choose a day to tell his parents the truth.But when the mother accidentally witnesses them kissing at home, what follows is a storm.His naive fantasies have been wiped away by his father's hard fist and his mother's hysterical scolding.

He was enlightened, and it turned out that falling in love with Guan Wen was a crime that even his parents could not accept.

Qin Yue went home and was locked in the room, not even allowed to open the windows.

Guan Wen looked at the closed doors and windows next door every day, and smoked one cigarette after another. When his parents came home, he was beaten up by his father again. The scolding spread from the Guan family to the Qin family. .

Qin Yue slept on the bed, rolling up his body in pain.

At the end of the year, there was a flow of people on the streets, and the cold wind could not stop the anticipation and enthusiasm of the Chinese people for celebrating the new year.

Su Yan stood in front of a shopping mall in the commercial street, searching for something through his glasses.

He was wearing a short black windbreaker that showed a mature temperament, and a pair of fashionable brown decorative glasses. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he stood quietly in the wind. His tall and well-proportioned body could easily be mistaken for a model.

He looked at his watch, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking up at the exit of the parking lot, there was a family of three talking and laughing walking towards the mall.

A middle-aged couple, and a girl who is in the rainy season like Su Yan.

The girl was fat, but she was wearing expensive designer brands. She held the woman's arm affectionately, talking coquettishly as she walked, twisting her lips from time to time, pouting and complaining unhappily.

The woman talked to her with a smile, and the man kept smiling, with his head held high, and he walked forward without squinting.

It was a face very similar to Su Yan's. Even though the man was forty, he was still a handsome man of this age.

The family entered the mall, Su Yan followed behind.

"Mom, is this better for me?" The girl kept asking this question as she tried on clothes.

"good."

"Are you looking fat?" the girl asked worriedly.

"Not fat at all, looks much thinner, very fit, very beautiful." The man interjected.

The girl's face collapsed, and she yelled at the man angrily: "I didn't ask you again! Are you annoying!"

"Damn child, why are you talking to your father?" the woman yelled at her.

With red eyes, the girl felt wronged and said, "I don't want to call him dad..."

"Really, don't be too willful. Apologize to Dad and don't make me angry." The woman exhaled.

"No need, no need, kid, how can I care about unintentional mistakes." The man smiled and smoothed things over.

The woman said helplessly: "You just let her go too much, she is not afraid of you, hey, what will this child do in the future."

"Girls, what are you afraid of if you are self-willed? A daughter should be pampered. If a son is disobedient, he should be beaten up."

The woman's face turned cold: "Don't keep talking about your son. I didn't be harsh on you and didn't let you see your son. If you miss him so much, you can go back and reunite with your son. Our mother and daughter are used to being dependent on each other. Without you, this Years can pass."

The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately said good things: "Where are you thinking, I didn't think too much, didn't you buy clothes? Buy it, buy it, hurry up and order it, let's go home and eat mutton hot pot tonight."

The man pushed the woman forward, and Su Yan walked towards them face to face in the crowded crowd, getting closer and closer, and then slowly passed the man's side, gradually drifting away.

The man's eyelids twitched, and he turned around in shock. Amidst the commotion of the crowd, Su Yan's eye-catching figure was still visible, but the distance was too far, and he still couldn't tell whether it was his son or not.

He didn't think so, his son should be in City C, and it was unlikely that he would come here.

The man turned his head to look at the fat daughter with white eyes, and secretly thought to call his son later.

Su Yan walked straight out of the shopping mall and came to the street where the cold wind was blowing. He didn't know where to go for a while.

He looked at the familiar advertisements on the familiar street in front of him, everything seemed to overlap with Su Yan from his previous life.

That Su Yan came all the way to City C to look for his father, but he never dared to visit him.

That Su Yan was standing in front of the cold windy shopping mall with a bag full of peanuts from city C, waiting foolishly.

From eight o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a family walking across the road, and saw that my father didn't see him at all.

Even with just one glance, he could walk over and call Dad.

But he didn't even glance at it. He just watched the family of three enter the shopping mall, and he couldn't remember how they got back to City C.
