Chapter 8 Give You Warm Light

When the two arrived at the school, Shao Gan had already left the things with the gatekeeper of the dormitory building and was waiting in front of the teaching building.Shao An waited for the middle-aged man to take out two yuan, folded all the money together and counted it twice before handing it over to Shao Qian.

"After a while, you will pay the tuition by yourself. Brother, go out with this Mr. Sun first."

Shao Gan glanced at the middle-aged man wearing glasses, pulled Shao An's sleeve to one side, and waited two steps before he whispered, "Brother, why did he give you money?"

"He wants to build a stove at home. I discussed with him to pay the money first, and then go to work."

Shao Gan was relieved a little bit, he was afraid that his brother would go to the city to sell blood just for these two yuan, like some poor people in the village.

"Wait for me first, I'll pay the money and go with you. It should be soon."

"What are you going to do?" Shao An frowned, "What if there is still something to do at school? Finally, you can come to study, so don't make mistakes at the beginning. The work is not heavy."

Shao An seriously pushed him to the teaching building, stared at him as he disappeared behind the building door, and then turned his head and smiled at Sun Jinghong, "My brother, who can work, knows how to help me. (Knows how to help me work)"

"Let's go." Sun Jinghong pushed the car out, "Check the door first, I have to go to work later, and you can go there by yourself in the future. Tell me what you need to buy and use. I will give you the money and you can buy it yourself. .”

"Well, I have to go home later, and bring the trowel, plaster, and hammer. First, I only need to buy cement, lime, bricks, and sandpaper. I will go back tonight, and I will be back tomorrow morning. It will not hinder the work." .”

Sun Jinghong looked at him twice, nodded and said, "Don't rush too much."

In the afternoon, there was indeed something to do at school, and when the registration was over at [-] o'clock, I started to collect textbooks.Shao Gan saw the head teacher of his class, and under his surprised gaze, he took the initiative to move books to the Academic Affairs Department.Shao Gan's strengths were finally brought into play. He started working from left to right and raised his hand, walking and trotting all the way.Mo Tong and several other boys followed behind laughingly, and the two of them raised it.Mo Tong is small in stature and looks small in person, no one would say that he is lazy or slippery.After walking a few steps, he let go of his hand and let another boy hold him, and ran to Shao Gan's side to "appreciate" his superpower.

Shao Gan was uncomfortable seeing him grinning, and handed over the bag in his right hand. Mo Tong shook his head, "Give it to me after you get outside the classroom."

"..."

"The two of us sleep together, no wonder I felt very close to you when I saw you on the day of the exam." Mo Tong walked around him, admiring him enough and said, "You will definitely be tied up by the students in our class." Throw it in the middle as a model."

Mo Tong stretched out his hand to touch the small muscles of his upper arm, "It's so strong, but it's a little thin."

Shao Gan's scalp was numb, and he speeded up without saying a word.Mo Tong trotted all the way behind, looking up hahahaha.

When he was outside the classroom, Mo Tong quickly took the bag from Shao Gan, took two deep breaths and rushed to the classroom with the bag.Shao Gan looked at Mo Tong who disappeared in front of him with his legs crossed and bent over, and he also took a deep breath.

Almost all the students are here, just find a seat to sit.Liu Mingyang, the head teacher, waited for them to move all the books over, then untied the rope and began to distribute the books.This is a moment that Shao Gan likes very much. He likes to smell the fragrance of ink on the book, and likes to carefully write his name with a pen on the front page of the new book one by one.

Shao Gan didn't ask each other's names in whispers like other students, and talked about his painting experience.He sat at the corner of the front row, with the restless Mo Tong sitting next to him.Shao Gan took out a pen from his pocket, stroked it on the palm of his hand, and then lowered his head to write the words "Flying and Flying".Mo Tong lay beside him and sighed, "Your handwriting is so beautiful. I've practiced it for several years and I still can't get it. What kind of copybook did you practice? It's so beautiful!"

"My dad taught me."

"Your dad is better than my dad. My dad can't teach me anyway." Mo Tong casually flipped through the textbook in his hand, and when Shao Gan finished writing, he unfolded his book and handed it over, pointing to the big English word on the inside page. Said: "In the middle of writing, you should connect the pen like yours."

Shao Gan designed the word "Mo Tong" a little bit in his heart, with one stroke, the thick or light lines made Mo Tong's mouth wide open.

"Ahh! You are so amazing!" Mo Tong pressed the English textbook with one hand to keep it from closing, so as not to waste the words he just wrote, and hurriedly went to get other basics with the other hand, "Write everything down."

A student poked his head over from behind, and Mo Tong flaunted his textbook and dangled it around, "Looks good, the one in our dormitory is awesome."

"My writing is not bad." Qin Yu stretched out his book to show him, Mo Tong wrinkled his nose, "It's far behind, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xifeng."

Qin Yu abruptly pulled his book back, shoved him and said, "Who is Wang Xifeng? It's obviously the great calligrapher of Qin."

Shao Gan turned his head and took a look, the corner of his mouth twitched.Qin Yu's handwriting is quite beautiful, it is Junxiu's handwriting that looks like a girl's.Qin Yu piled up his books, angrily said: "I don't know how to appreciate!"

There are not many students in the specialty class, only 25 students, which may be one of the reasons why the tuition fee is much higher than other classes.There were six girls and nineteen boys in the class. Liu Mingyang asked the students to stand in line and allocate seats. Qin Yu sat there and shouted: "Lesbians have absolute priority. I suggest that female students choose their seats first."

One of the girls with loose long hair and wearing a pink plastic headband smiled and said, "Then we are not welcome. Teacher, we will not move."

Six girls sat between the second row and the third row, exactly six seats, forming a pink area in front of the class.

The boys left the classroom grinning, and consciously stood in a row in the corridor.Shao Gan didn't need to find his own position, he just stood at the end of the line.Mo Tong was not the first one, he was ranked third or fourth, but he kept looking forward and backward with his feet on tiptoe, as if he wanted to move back, but was beaten back to his original shape by Qin Yu who pressed his shoulders across a person.

Noisily assigned seats, Shao Gan ran from the first row to the last row.He is happy to sit in the last row. Once the back door is opened, he can walk to his seat as soon as he enters the door, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary attention.And after the students arrived, Shao Qian also discovered the difference between the special class and the ordinary class. The special class should be all children from rich families.The girls all wore beautiful pleated skirts and white short-sleeved shirts, as if they had been discussed.It's just that some people's shirts will have more folds or laces that are estimated to be pressed.The rest of the boys wore very different clothes. Some wore sportswear and white sneakers, some wore white shirts and pants with fat legs, and some boys wore light blue thick pants with a leg torn open.It was different from the patch on Shao Gan's trousers before, Shao Gan vaguely felt that this was done on purpose, maybe it was a fashion of the city people.

Fortunately, next to Shao Qian was a boy who looked fairly well dressed, slightly shorter than him, and his name was Li Mingwei.It's just that Li Mingwei didn't like talking too much, he just glanced at him, packed up his textbooks and stuffed them on the desk, then turned his head and left the classroom.

The students all dispersed, the girls in front were still chattering, the textbooks were not placed in the desk bucket, but carried away with their arms on their chests.Shao Gan was sitting in the last row flipping through the new textbook in his hand. The first chapter of the Chinese textbook was a piece of prose - Moonlight in the Lotus Pond.Shao Gan finished the book with his hands in his hands, and continued to read the second chapter "Green".After reading both essays, I still haven't waited for Shao An to come back.

Shao An had no money on him and was still riding a bicycle, so he probably didn't go back.But he hasn't come back until now, which is really worrying.Shao Gan regretted that he didn't insist on going out with him at that time, knowing which family he worked in, so he could help out in the future.

Mo Tong turned his head and shouted: "Shao Gan, let's go eat, the dining hall is open."

"Well, I'll wait a minute."

A person appeared at the door, Shao Qian was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "He Dong."

Mo Tong pouted, he hadn't seen Shao Ganxiao yet.It turns out that he is quite handsome when he smiles, and he is considered to be in He Dong's favor.

He Dong scratched his head, walked over with his pocket in one hand, sat on the table of the person in front of him, and scratched his head for a long time avoiding his sight. Mo Tong muttered in the front row, "It's snowing."

He Dong looked at the dandruff floating in the air, and cursed, "Fuck!"

"I'm in class one."

"Ah."

After a long period of silence, He Dong slammed down on his table and jumped down, punched him hard and said, "Fuck! Let's go, let's eat!"

"I'll wait for my brother."

"Your brother didn't go back?"

"Well, go eat first. My brother and I will go out to eat later."

"Alright." He Dong hugged his neck tightly, "Let's go first, call me if you have something to do."

Mo Tong stuck out his tongue at him in front, and ran after He Dong's buttocks.Shao Gan heard Mo Tong say: "Brother He Dong, why don't you take me to play, you are so cool to play!"

"You're not as tall as basketball, what kind of ball do you play?"

"Hey, if you don't take it, don't take it, I won't look for others! No personal attacks!"

As the voice faded away, Shao Gan sighed from the bottom of his heart.He doesn't have many friends, or in other words, his friends are pitiful. How could He Dong, a friend who has played with him since he was a child, collapse at once.What's more, he had to be grateful to He Weiye from the bottom of his heart for not cutting off his retreat.Such a distorted state of mind.

Shao Gan didn't wait for Shao An.

After Shao An checked the door and asked Sun Jinghong what he wanted, he drove home by bicycle.He needed to bring over the tools for doing the work, and he had to bring some living expenses to Shao Gan.It was already late at night when we arrived home. The big yellow cat at home was squatting on the fence gate. Before he could ride to the gate, he jumped out to pick it up. His pant legs meowed.

Shao An opened the fence and pushed the car into the house. There was a power outage in the village again. He turned over the stove in the dark, grabbed a piece of boiled sweet potato and stuffed it into his mouth.The yellow cat yelled pitifully around him, apparently catching no mice for dinner.Shao An was so hungry that he gnawed off one and touched another.After eating two big sweet potatoes, I had the time to break off one and throw it to the yellow cat.After finding a match to light the wax, Shao An went to a corner of the house to rummage for his tools, and even tied the planks to check whether the walls were even or not at the back of the car.He can start at five o'clock, and there are four or five hours in between.Shao An walked around the small yard of his home, drank a ladle of cold water, and finally made the last washbasin stand by the light of the candle.With the shelf sanded down, it's almost time to go again.

The yellow cat jumped off the bed and ran to him alertly, looking up at him.Shao An dug out Shao Gan's old notebook, and tore out an entry that said, "Working outside, I can't come back for a few days, take the washbasin stand away, and pay when I come back—Shao ​​An".

Shao An carried the washbasin stand to the yard, saw that it was still dark, looked in the direction of the gate, heard the sound, closed the door and went back to the house, piled the stool on the table, took out the glass bottle at the corner of the beam, I counted some of the money and packed it up, put it back as it was, and then restored the tables and stools to their original state.

There were still two pieces of sweet potatoes in the pot, Shao An only ate a small one, and took the rest out and put it in a broken bowl for the yellow cat to eat.Lock the door and pull out the brick blocking the lower corner of the threshold to make it easier for the kitten to get in and out.The yellow cat yelled around him anxiously for a while, but got no response.Following the bicycle to the village, Shao An stopped and kicked it, "Go home, I'm going to work, I can't take you with me. Catch more mice to eat."

The yellow cat barked twice, squatted on the side of the road and did not chase after it.Shao An rode out for a while and looked back, and he could still see the yellow cat squatting there in the morning light.
