In the courtyard of the courtyard, the sound of rushing water could be heard.
Zhou Yun was washing clothes next to the well in the yard.
There is an old-fashioned well in the middle of this courtyard, so you don't have to pay water fees to use it. Zhou Yun usually takes his clothes here to wash them, just to save some water fees.
"Zhou Yun."
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came to Zhou Yun's side.
Zhou Yun looked up and saw that it was Zhao Qian and her group.
Zhou Yun knew most of this group of people, most of them were girls from the village about the same age as himself, and were his classmates in junior high school.
These people, together with Zhao Qian, hang out together all day long. None of them have any formal jobs, but whether they are beautiful or ugly, they all dress up very enchantingly.
Seeing them, Zhou Yun felt a little nervous.
Because this group of people all hate Zhou Yun, openly and covertly, making Zhou Yun uncomfortable in every way.
And since the last time Zhou Yun was unjustly accused of stealing a skirt, when these people saw Zhou Yun, they became even more pointing and sarcastic.
"Um, Zhou Yun, I have something I want to tell you."
But to Zhou Yun's surprise, this time, Zhao Qian's attitude seemed to be quite good, and she looked at herself with a smile.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Zhou Yun asked subconsciously.
"We are having a class reunion of Class 3 of Qinglian Junior High School, do you want to go?" Zhao Qian said.
"Ah?" Zhou Yun was stunned. A reunion of junior high school classmates?
"Yes, it's a reunion of junior high school classmates. What are you still hesitating about? What's the matter? You started to drift off when you went to college and looked down on your old classmates? Haha, didn't you find a boyfriend who carries cement bags when you go to college?
Are you renting a house in a slum and doing laundry all day long?" In the crowd, a girl named Liu Chun said in a strange tone.
"No." Zhou Yun suddenly felt a little anxious.
Of course she would not look down on anyone, but Zhou Yun knew very well that at the class reunion, there must be people like Zhao Qian. Going there by herself would really be meaningless except for being laughed at.
"I don't have time to go. I have to go out to find a job after doing the laundry." Zhou Yun thought for a while and said.
"No, Teacher Teng is here, why don't you go?" Zhao Qian said leisurely.
Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, "Teacher Teng, is he here?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yun's mind seemed to reappear that old man with a kind face and always wearing an old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit. He was Teng Hongqi, his homeroom teacher in junior high school.
Teng Hongqi is a typical intellectual in the 1980s. He has a strong sense of social responsibility, is responsible for students, and is very caring. Therefore, he encourages and appreciates good students and is also strict with poor students.
When he was in junior high school, after he learned about Zhou Yun's family situation, he became quite concerned about Zhou Yun.
When a boy harassed Zhou Yun when he was at school, Teng Hongqi called the boy's parents to school and gave the boy a notice of criticism.
When I was taking the high school entrance examination, I even secured a tuition-free spot at a key county high school just for Zhou Yun.
Therefore, Zhou Yun felt very grateful to Teacher Teng.
She originally wanted to work after graduating from college, and once she had income, she would buy gifts to visit her former teachers, but she herself did not expect to be in this situation.
So this matter has been delayed again and again.
And now, Teacher Teng actually wants to attend the junior high school reunion?
"Yes, Teacher Teng's daughter married to Jincheng. After he retired, his daughter brought him here. We notified him of this junior high school reunion. He was very happy and immediately agreed to come. I
If you remember correctly, Teacher Teng was very kind to you when you were in school. Now that Teacher Teng is here, you have to go and see him no matter what. You can't forget your roots." Zhao Qian said meaningfully.
Of course Zhou Yun will not forget his roots.
Although Zhou Yun didn't want to have too much contact with Zhao Qian and others, now that Teacher Teng has gone, he must go. It is also a long-cherished wish of his to see Teacher Teng, whom he has not seen for many years.
Besides, if Teacher Teng knew that he was in Jincheng but didn't go, then he would probably be very sad.
"Okay, I'll go." Zhou Yun said.
"Okay, without further ado, let's go over now. We have already booked a private room at the Dafugui Hotel. Don't keep Teacher Teng waiting too long."
When Zhao Qian saw that Zhou Yun had agreed, she seemed to be afraid that Zhou Yun would suddenly regret it again, so she wanted to take Zhou Yun there.
At this moment, Lu Yuan came in from the door.
Lu Yuan was taking the bus back from the filming base, and he wanted to tell Zhou Yun the news.
For a period of time, Zhou Yun followed him and lived a very miserable life. Lu Yuan knew it very well, but he was suffering from being unable to change the status quo.
But now, he wants to play the leading role, and as long as he gets paid, Zhou Yun will not live a hard life with him in the future!
"Hey, isn't this Zhou Yun's boyfriend? Aren't you working on cement bags at the construction site? Why are you back so early?" Zhao Qian looked Lu Yuan up and down, with a cold smile on her lips.
"Maybe he couldn't bear the hardship and escaped halfway. In this case, he won't even get his wages." Liu Chun followed Zhao Qian's words and said.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Yuan frowned but didn't say anything.
After all, over the past month or so, I have gotten to know what kind of people Zhao Qian and the others are.
"Zhou Yun, you..." When Lu Yuan came in just now, he saw Zhou Yun and Zhao Qian together, as if they were about to go out, and he was a little confused about what was going on.
"By the way, Lu Yuan, our junior high school classmates are having a party. I'm going to go there. My former head teacher, Mr. Teng, is also there. He is very good to me. I want to visit his old man." Zhou Yun said, "You are at home.
Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
"Oh well."
Lu Yuan originally wanted to tell Zhou Yun about the crew, but now in front of Zhao Qian and so many people, Lu Yuan decided to endure it.
If he said it in front of Zhao Qian and others, not only would they not believe him, but they would think that he was daydreaming, and they would definitely be sarcastic when the time comes, which would make Zhou Yun even more embarrassed.
So Lu Yuan didn't plan to talk about it in front of them.
"Then let's go."
Zhou Yun was anxious to see Teacher Teng and was about to leave.
"What's the rush?" Zhao Qian looked at Lu Yuan, "Since Zhou Yun has already passed, you can go too. You are Zhou Yun's boyfriend anyway, so let's go over and have something to eat together."
"Yes, let's go, don't worry, this time it's also free." Liu Chun said.
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Lu Yuan actually didn't want to go, but when he saw Zhou Yun going, he was a little worried. Since Zhao Qian and the others said so, Lu Yuan went with everyone.
Not long after the group of them left the yard.
A young woman also came to the door.
"Um, is there a person named Lu Yuan living here?" The young woman was Liang Xue. She drove all the way and followed the bus, and finally followed the shanty town where the courtyard house was located.
By the time she found a place to park the car, Lu Yuan was nowhere to be found.
But since she had seen Lu Yuan walking into this shantytown, she started asking about each yard, and finally ended up here.
At this time, Liang Xue saw an aunt hanging clothes in the yard and asked.
"Yes, Xiao Lu lives here. Who are you, girl?" It was Aunt Xiuhua who was hanging the clothes.
Aunt Xiuhua was originally a rural aunt. Seeing that this woman was well-dressed and quite elegant, just like a star on TV, she looked so noble that she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm his new colleague. I have something, can you please give it to him?" With that said, Liang Xue took out an envelope and handed it to Aunt Xiuhua.
Aunt Xiuhua wiped her hands hastily and took it respectfully. There was a piece of paper and a hard object in the envelope. Aunt Xiuhua couldn't figure out what it was.
"Okay, girl, don't worry, I will definitely give it to Xiao Lu." Aunt Xiuhua said hurriedly as she watched Liang Xue walk away.
To be honest, Aunt Xiuhua didn't think too much about Liang Xue's appearance. She just thought that Liang Xue seemed to be from the city, and Liang Xue also said that he was Lu Yuan's colleague.
Aunt Xiuhua was of course happy that Lu Yuan could have such a colleague.
Besides, Zhao Qian and her group arrived at the private room of Dafugui Restaurant half an hour later.
The private room is quite big, after all, it is used for class reunions.
At this time, many people had gathered in the private room.
Sitting in the middle of the crowd was an old man with gray hair and an old face, wearing an earth-blue Zhongshan suit.
"Teacher Teng."
As soon as he entered the private room, Zhou Yun immediately ran towards the old man.
When the old man saw Zhou Yun, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face became excited, "You, are you Zhou Yun?"
When he recognized that this was Zhou Yun, his face became a little brighter, "Okay, great, you are all here. I am very happy to see that you have grown up."
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's order food now." Zhao Qian greeted as if she was an organizer.
Everyone sat down.
Eat and drink for a while.
"Well, today, our junior high school classmates are getting together. It has been seven or eight years since then. Everyone has grown up and is basically working. It just so happens that Teacher Teng is here today. Why don't we let Teacher Teng do it?
Let’s talk a few words.” Zhao Qian said.
"Okay, let me just say a few words." Teng Hongqi seemed quite happy and somewhat interested, "To be honest, seeing you all grow up, work, and enter the society, I feel very happy in my heart.
Very happy.”
"Of course, I actually have regrets in my heart." At this point, Teng Hongqi seemed a little self-blame, "That is because back then, I failed to teach each of you well, and I failed to send each of you to the next level.
Going to high school does not allow each of you to have the opportunity to go to college. If each of you can be like Zhou Yun, and go to high school and then go to college, then I will be more happy today."
"But despite this, I am still very happy that Zhou Yun was admitted to Jinling University. When I learned the news, I was very happy. After all, this is the best university that all the students I have taught can get into. Now
Four years have passed, Zhou Yun, you have graduated, and your current job must be very good! Teacher Teng is happy for you! I also hope that everyone can learn from Zhou Yun’s hardworking spirit!"
When Teng Hongqi said this, his face turned red with joy.
To be honest, Teng Hongqi was really happy and proud that Zhou Yun was admitted to Jinling University. You must know that Qinglian Junior High School is just an ordinary rural middle school. It is indeed amazing to have students admitted to the top ten universities in the country.
For this reason, Teng Hongqi also mentioned this matter to everyone, and it became a point of pride that he often mentioned.
So now, at a junior high school gathering and seeing his former students, Teng Hongqi couldn't help but talk about this matter again.
On the one hand, I am really proud of Zhou Yun, on the other hand, I actually want to urge and inspire other students again to make them work hard.
After all, although these students have grown up, they are still very young.
After finishing speaking, Teng Hongqi felt a little excited.
However, after finishing speaking, Teng Hongqi did not hear the applause from her classmates as she imagined.
It didn't matter that there was no applause. Teng Hongqi also heard a kind of chuckle.
"Haha, Teacher Teng, please don't mislead us." Zhao Qian's voice was not loud, but in this environment, it seemed quite harsh to say such a sentence suddenly.
"Ah?" Teng Hongqi was stunned, not knowing what Zhao Qian wanted to say.
"Teacher Teng, don't you know what your proud Jinling college student is doing after graduation?" Zhao Qian continued to say leisurely.
"Yes, Teacher Teng, you once taught us a sentence. Without investigation, we have no right to speak. You should also ask your most proud student what kind of job he is doing now, and then give a long speech." Liu Chun also followed Zhao Qian.
said.
"That's right, Teacher Teng, don't say random things."
Others also echoed each other's words.
Teng Hongqi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhao Qian and the others suddenly acted like this.
But of course he is not worried about Zhou Yun's job. After all, he knows that Zhou Yun graduated from Jinling University, so his job cannot be bad.
"By the way, Zhou Yun, what are you doing now?" Teng Hongqi asked after thinking about it.
Zhou Yun was suddenly shocked and felt sad. He didn't know how to answer.
She lowered her head.
His face turned red from shame.
She didn't want to answer, but now that Teacher Teng asked, she had to answer.
"Teacher Teng, I, I don't have a job now." Zhou Yun's voice was like a mosquito.
"Ah, I don't have a job. Did I get too many offers and didn't find the right one? Or did I not look for it?" Teng Hongqi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.
Yes, after all, he would never think of Zhou Yun's current situation.
"Haha, Teacher Teng, don't bother asking. Let me tell you the truth. She just doesn't have a job. She has been looking for it for more than a month and still hasn't found one. She is now renting in the cheapest and messiest place in Jincheng.
, Haha, this is the current situation of your most proud student!" Zhao Qian said without losing any opportunity.
"Ah? Is this true, Zhou Yun?" Teng Hongqi looked at Zhou Yun in disbelief.
This, how is this possible?
Zhou Yun's head dropped even more. To be honest, this was the first time that she suddenly hated herself for not having a job.
She felt very sad all of a sudden.
Yes, I have lived up to Teacher Teng’s expectations of me.
In junior high school, Teacher Teng took care of himself more. I still remember how happy he was when he was admitted to a key high school. It was a true care for the next generation from the older generation of people's teachers.
In his heart, he should have always been proud to have trained himself as a student of Jinling University.
However, now, I can no longer make him proud. Not only that, but in my current state, isn't it like letting Teacher Teng slap me in the face?
Especially when I heard the harsh words from Zhao Qian and others, and when I heard Teacher Teng’s unbelievable questions.
Zhou Yun's heart hurt even more.
"Of course it's true. Look at her, she's too embarrassed to speak." Zhao Qian looked extremely proud at this moment. Yes, the bad temper she had held for many years finally came out today!
Not only her, but also many people on the table had a cruel mockery in their eyes at this time, looking at Teng Hongqi who looked dumbfounded in disbelief, and Zhou Yun who lowered his head and dared not speak.
Most of these people were those who did not study when they were in school and were scolded by Teng Hongqi.
Seeing that the so-called good students who were praised by Teng Hongqi in the past turned out to be like this today, they felt very comfortable in their hearts.
And the teacher who scolded them back then was slapped in the face, which made them feel an inexplicable sense of relief.
"By the way, Teacher Teng, have you seen this handsome guy?" Zhao Qian obviously didn't intend to end it like this. The show had just begun. She pointed at Lu Yuan in a leisurely manner, "Here, let me introduce you to him.
Ah, this is Zhou Yun’s boyfriend.”
"Do you know what he does? Teacher Teng, I'll scare you if I tell you." Liu Chun followed, "He is a cement bag resister on the construction site. He is awesome. Isn't he a good match for a graduate of Jinling University?"
Woolen cloth?"
With one sentence, everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Yuan frowned, and there was a feeling in his heart that he told them that he was now the leading actor in the crew, but then he thought again, even if he told them now, they might not believe it.
I can only sigh in my heart and be patient for now. Sooner or later, I will have a chance to let them know.
"Not only that, but Teacher Teng, I'm afraid you don't know that you are proud of your disciple's character. I heard that she couldn't afford nice clothes, and she stole other people's skirts to wear. She was caught.
I've gained both personal gains and losses. I'm afraid you never thought of this, Teacher Teng. This is the good student you praised in front of us in the past."
"Yeah, I can't afford it if I can't afford it. I'm so vain. When I see other people's clothes are good-looking, I want to keep them as my own. If I get caught, I won't admit it. I just pretend that my boyfriend bought them for me. What an IQ."
It's stupid enough, and I don't even think about what kind of boyfriend my boyfriend is. He can resist cement bags and afford a dress worth three thousand yuan?"
"So, Teacher Teng, your vision is not very accurate." Zhao Qian looked at Teng Hongqi leisurely, with a sense of triumph in her tone, "Back then, you looked down on us, saying that we were poor students and that we had no future.
And you praise Zhou Yun, saying that she will be outstanding in the future, and you also call on us to learn from her,
Haha, the result is that the student you most proudly praised as the most outstanding student can't even find a job now. To put it bluntly, he is just an unemployed vagrant. He has found a boyfriend and is still a migrant worker carrying cement. But you were the one who
What about us who look down on us, which one of us is worse dressed than her, and which one of us is worse off than her?"
As she spoke, Zhao Qian threw the phone in her hand on the table, "I saw it, this is Apple's latest iPhone
Fuck me?"
"That's right, Teacher Teng, your ideas are outdated and it's time to change them."
Everyone said in a hurry.
At this time, Teng Hongqi, perhaps because of this sudden change or because of what everyone was talking about, was sitting there with his hands trembling and shrinking, his face turned pale, and he could not say a word.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Yuan finally couldn't help it anymore, "I emphasize again, Zhou Yun didn't steal the dress, I bought it!"
"Did you buy it?" Zhao Qian sneered, "You are an anti-cement bag, can you afford that skirt? If you have the ability, you can buy another one for me to see. If you can afford another one, I will believe you."
you!"
"You mean what you say!" Lu Yuan looked at Zhao Qian without showing any signs of weakness. He really didn't want to bear it anymore.
"Nonsense, of course I take it seriously. If you have the ability, go ahead and buy it! Let me see how you buy a dress worth three thousand yuan!"
Zhao Qian just finished speaking.
At this time, the private room door suddenly opened.
A waiter came in.
However, what she held in her hand was neither wine nor dishes.
Instead, it's a dress.
A yellow dress, a yellow dress from Burberry!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were drawn to the skirt.
After all, a dress worth three thousand yuan is very attractive to girls.
"Who is Miss Zhou Yun?" the waiter said with a smile while holding the skirt.
ah?
Zhou Yun was stunned and stood up without knowing why.
"Miss Zhou Yun, this skirt is for you." The waiter hurriedly came to Zhou Yun holding the skirt and handed the skirt to Zhou Yun respectfully.
Zhou Yun was even more stunned.
Everyone else was also stunned.
What's going on?
This skirt was actually given to Zhou Yun?
"Ah, this, who gave this to me?" Zhou Yun said subconsciously.
"Well." The waiter smiled slightly and glanced at Lu Yuan vaguely, "He didn't tell me his name, but he wanted me to tell you something."
"Ah, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Yun said eagerly.
Her heart was pounding wildly because she felt that she had already guessed who it was.
"He asked me to tell Miss Zhou Yun that no matter what you become, he will love you as always. No matter what you have done to him, he will love you without hesitation. No matter what kind of mess you are in, he will love you without hesitation."
He will reach out to save you from the mud! Because, he is the person who loves you most in the world!" Although the waiter was just relaying it, he sounded a little excited when he said this.
For a moment, Zhou Yun covered his mouth with tears in his eyes.
It was an expression of covering one's mouth and wanting to cry.
