Ms. Xu Jin’s study is so tidy that it’s almost serious, which is a little inconsistent with her sometimes talkative temperament. She will put all the documents and paper materials used in categories, and the books and various legal classics are neatly arranged in the bookcase.

It has to be a bit obsessive-compulsive.

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 her 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 actually gave birth to such a child, "

I heard what your teacher and your mother said about what happened yesterday."

When Dou Xun saw that she was about to receive another round of whipping with a familiar taste, he immediately lowered his head indifferently, pretending to be "I have made up my mind" and pretending to be dead.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jin said casually: "Generally speaking, the matter of postponing the college entrance examination is not as serious as they thought. I have roughly understood the situation. It is a pity that the extra points cannot be used, but I think that extra ten points in the college entrance examination can change our destiny."

As a human being, I estimate that you can only achieve this much in your life."

Dou Xun heard this unconventional comment and glanced at her, but still did not let down his guard - the expression of expressing desire before expressing desire is also commonly used by teachers and parents.

"I also heard your teacher Zhang's complaint. She said that there was no valid reason for you to give up the college entrance examination and it was purely willful." Xu Jin said calmly, "But I think everyone has their own internal logic, especially you.

Older people have more ideas, it’s just that 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 any more questions." Xu Jin said calmly, "You signed up for it yourself at the beginning, and now you decide to give up the exam -

—Classmate Dou Xun, it is a good thing to be able to make your own decisions. It means that you have matured earlier and are ahead of others. However, as an adult, I still have to remind you that since you have to make your own decisions, you must be responsible for yourself. You guys

The reason why the teacher thinks you are willful and why she is calling all the people to complain is because she thinks you cannot take responsibility. Can you understand this?"

Ms. Xu Jin is not very similar to Xu Xilin. She looks very shrewd when she is not wearing glasses, but she seems a bit stern when wearing them. At first glance, she has a very professional and cold look. Somehow she gave birth to such a lively and over-the-top person like Xu Xilin.

's son.

"You are not young anymore. In the past, in poor families, you were able to establish a household at your age, but you are very immature. This is why adults don't let you make your own decisions," Xu Jin said.

No young man would be indifferent after hearing this sentence. Dou Xun opened his mouth and was about to refute.

Xu Jin: "The politics teacher should have taught you, right? '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 subjectively? Have you thought about this? You guys

Having worked for a classmate in a fast food restaurant, you should know how much it costs to work a day's shift. Think about it for yourself, can those of you who are used to being pampered young men survive on this meager salary? What if Dou Junliang's conscience is completely destroyed one day?

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.

"Being financially independent, there is also the issue of 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 thought about these? I haven't thought about it.

It's okay and normal. No one will say anything to you because you are still young. Teachers and parents still have the responsibility to take care of you. We will help you plan your future within the scope of our own knowledge and abilities. In order to ensure that this process goes smoothly,

We ask you to be obedient and cooperative, and not to repeatedly challenge the problem-solving abilities of mediocre adults like us. Can you understand this?"

Dou Xun hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

Xu Jin: "There is still one week to take the exam. If you really know what your goal is, have your own clear reasons for giving up the exam, and can bear the consequences of this matter, then you can make your own decisions from now on. If you want to

I don’t know. It’s not okay if you just do whatever you want. This rule is very simple, right? If you want to have the right to speak like an adult, you have to behave like an adult. Being coquettish and willful will not work. Go back and think about it yourself.

"

Dou Xun had not received any decent education since he was a child. He was confused by Xu Jin's words. He was angry and guilty. He stood up and left with a lot of worries. 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: "What, did you tell me?"

He had just secretly taken a sip of Xu Jin's tea, and there was a layer of water stains on his lips. Dou Xun glanced at it, blinked hard as if in surprise, 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: "Xiao Linzi, come in here!"

"Xiao Linzi" poked his head and asked: "Mom, what are you calling me for? Qilixiang... ah, Teacher Zhang - you bought one and got one free and sued me?"

"You are said to be restless and can't calm down to study." Xu Jin knocked on the table, "Why did you get angry with Dou Xuniao last night?"

Xu Xilin's eyes wandered here and there, and he mumbled vaguely: "...going out to play with my classmates."

"Going out with classmates" can be said with such a guilty conscience. He must have done nothing good. Xu Jin reached out and tapped him: "Be careful, don't let me grab your pigtails - have you met Zheng Shuo?"

"

Xu Xilin: "Zheng Shuo? Who?"

Xu Jin looked at his heartless look and let out a long sigh.

"Oh!" Xu Xilin finally reacted, "I understand, your ex-husband?"

Xu Jin: "..."

Xu Xilin jumped up on the chair like a big monkey, with his upper body lying on Xu Jin's desk, and his knees twisting on the swivel chair: "He was the one who rushed to find me. The Jade Emperor Mao Zedong promised that I am not treasonous and collaborating with the enemy.

I didn’t even eat the enemy’s sugar-coated bullets!”

Xu Jin leaned back and frowned at her precious son. Since Xu Xilin had met Zheng Shuo, he must have known that she had deliberately blocked Zheng Shuo from contacting him for so many years, but she didn't mention a word about it. This kid

Every strand of hair is a cluster of clever tricks. He is good at acting in a certain way, but his mind is not set on serious matters. He looks exactly like Zheng Shuo when he was young.

"Your dad has saved an education fund for you to take the college entrance examination 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 money... Well, you're not short of money, so why do you want him to do so much?"

Xu Jin asked expressionlessly: "What if I'm short of money?"

Xu Xilin changed his words without batting an eyelid: "What is money? Money is easy to come by, but beauty is hard to find. Who would let a beautiful woman live with an old man with a wrinkled face? Besides, we have more than one beautiful woman in our family. My grandma Shuixiu

One swing can be worth two large villas."

"You..." Xu Jin wanted to say something with a straight face, but failed in the middle and smiled instead.

She couldn't help but recall Zheng Shuo back then.

He is a born passionate seed, handsome, sweet-tongued, with so many tricks that I don’t know how he came up with them. No matter how poor he is, he can still make himself graceful and graceful. He can satisfy all the fantasies of girls. He is born to know how to let others pamper him without hesitation.

.

It's a pity that glass bottles are not for soy sauce, and libertines are not for living.

What flowers and butterflies miss is the colorful flowers, and you are just one of them. When the season is over, they will look for the next round of beauty, and they can’t keep it.

"I didn't like you to have more contact with him before because..." Xu Jin paused involuntarily. She admitted that everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, but no matter how tolerant she is, as a mother, she is

Selfish.

She didn't want Zheng Shuo's irresponsible and libertine temperament to influence 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 playful smile: "All decisions made by my great fairy are wise, and we, the mortals, firmly support them."

This sycophant is self-taught and naturally made.

If you had grown up with Zheng Shuo, you wouldn't know what kind of virtue you would develop into.

Xu Jin: "What the hell? The longer it grows, the more it looks like the one named Zheng... Oh, you'd better kneel down and pay your respects."

Xu Xilin didn't like this comment very much. His impression of Zheng Shuo was still "pretentious" and "irresponsible". He felt that he had been scolded by Xu Jin, but he couldn't protest openly. Xu Jin himself didn't say anything

Zheng Shuo was not good. As his son, he had no reason to overstep his authority in this matter, so he had no choice but to run away in a sulk.

When Dou Xun heard Xu Xilin's footsteps, his back stiffened involuntarily. His hair stood on end as Xu Xilin opened the door and came in.

There were two chairs in Dou Xun's room. He sat on one, and piled a lot of things on the other. Xu Xilin glanced at his neat bed without any wrinkles, knowing that Dou Xun didn't like others messing up what he had packed.

If I have something, I plan to sit directly on the ground.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted up his trouser legs, Dou Xun seemed to predict his actions and said, "It's okay, you can sit on the bed."

Xu Xilin glanced at him doubtfully, feeling that Dou Xun's change of attitude had come without any warning.

Dou Xun squinted at the foot of the bed, pretending that he wasn't staring at the other person all the time.

"What did Lafayette tell you?" Xu Xilin asked, sitting beside the bed. "Are you going to take the exam next week?"

Dou Xun: "Probably."

The literal meaning of Ms. Xu Jin's words was "let him think about it", but the implication was "don't make trouble unreasonably".

After Dou Xun's anger and impulsiveness passed, he admitted that his behavior of abandoning the exam was purely unreasonable and nostalgia was one of the reasons. In addition, he also wanted to gain a little 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. He flopped down on the bed and said with inexplicable melancholy: "Then if you are admitted to university, will you have to move?"

You go to school and can’t you stay at our house?”

The curtains are kept open all year round in Dou Xun's house, and only a small desk lamp with a low wattage is turned on, which always makes it difficult to distinguish between morning and dusk. The light in the room is squeezed together, and the total is no more than a thick cluster. Looking at it from Dou Xun's perspective,

This bunch of light seemed to be dragged over by Xu Xilin and hidden into his eyes.

His eyes seemed to be able to focus and ignite fire, and Dou Xun's chest burned with panic, almost annihilating his calmness just now.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xilin turned sideways and muttered again: "But having said that, even if you take the exam again next year, we probably won't be able to get into the same school, and we will still have to separate next year."

The small spark suddenly went out.
