That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 85: Take a bite of cabbage first (7000-in-[-] [-]+ words please vote)
Teacher Ke hung up the phone, and Wen Leyu immediately came over and asked worriedly: "Mom, dad seems... very angry?"

"Huh~"

Teacher Ke smiled and said, "It's okay. He doesn't understand the situation. If you know how he came back, I guarantee he won't have any temper at all."

Wen Leyu was stunned, pointed outside the office, and asked in a low voice: "He doesn't know the novel written by Li Ye?"

"He definitely doesn't know," Teacher Ke said to his daughter: "Your father got on the train from the north the day before yesterday and just arrived in Beijing today, and then went to your Grandpa Peng's place. How could he have time to learn about the novel?"

Teacher Ke did not tell Wen Leyu's father Wen Qingsheng about using "Beacon Fire Deserters" to build relationships. After all, it was still unclear whether it would succeed. Telling him would only increase anxiety and troubles.

But she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. She received a call from her husband today and she had already arrived in the capital and met Uncle Peng.

People like Uncle Peng would definitely not talk about the novel to Wen Qingsheng.

Could it be that you told him: "So many people are coming back recently and I'm so busy that I forgot about you. But it was because of a novel that I remembered you, little brat."

Embarrassing or not?
Worrying or not?
"Oh~"

Wen Leyu felt relieved after hearing what Teacher Ke said.

But she immediately thought of something and asked her mother in a low voice: "What about what dad said just now at Uncle Peng's place?"

Although Wen Leyu is young, he still knows some things due to his childhood environment.

Wen Qingsheng's fierce words on the phone just now would definitely not be good for outsiders to hear.

Teacher Ke smiled and shook his head, without giving Wen Leyu too much explanation.

If it was purely a work relationship, then Wen Qingsheng wouldn't be able to fart in front of others, he would have to hold it in.

But those who have been watched since childhood can get more benefits by crying and making trouble occasionally.

Crying children are fed by milk. Wen Qingsheng is stubborn, not stupid.

"Uncle, I have been wronged for many years. My wife and children have been wronged a lot. I almost died of lovesickness. My dad is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Of course, if you cry once, your affection will become thinner and cannot be used easily.

But now it's 82 years, and many people have come back. Every carrot is a pit. Are you not crying or making trouble at this time, waiting to eat a rotten peach?

As for Wen Qingsheng's true feelings on the phone, that's human nature, and Uncle Peng shouldn't blame him.

Judging from the current situation, the results are excellent and exceed Teacher Ke's expectations, so Teacher Ke is also very happy and gratified.

"Okay, it's okay. You don't have to worry about these things. Just take your exams."

Wen Leyu nodded heavily and said happily: "In more than a month, I will be able to see my father and brother!"

"It won't take a month," Teacher Ke said firmly: "With your father's temper, he will come to see us soon."

Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu walked out of the principal's office and met Principal Chang with a face full of chrysanthemums.

Principal Chang heard what Teacher Ke said just now, "Now that I'm gone, I'm irresponsible for the children." He also understood that Teacher Ke, the fallen phoenix, had been reborn from the ashes in the blink of an eye.

So the wrinkles on Principal Chang's face that were squeezed out by his smile were full of "congratulations, congratulations."

Teacher Ke saw Principal Chang approaching and said proactively, "Thank you, Principal Chang. I'm grateful for Principal Chang's care over the past six months."

"If that's the case, I should be the one thanking you," Principal Chang said with a smile: "Since Teacher Ke came, the English level of our county's No. [-] Middle School has skyrocketed. In this preliminary exam, many people have You did pretty well on the exam!"

"Where is."

Seeing that his mother was not finished talking to the principal, Wen Leyu quietly slipped away and walked towards Li Ye who was waiting not far away.

Looking at Wen Leyu, whose face was full of joy and could not hide it, Li Ye smiled and said, "Is there something good?"

Wen Leyu smiled and nodded heavily without explaining on the spot.

But after she got close to Li Ye, she whispered: "I'll tell you later."

Li Ye didn't need to ask, he could guess pretty well.

He just smiled and said: "Okay, let's cook some good dishes tonight to celebrate."

And He Weiguo, who had followed Li Ye and others, had already begun to sneak back.

Look at the intimacy between the principal and Teacher Ke, you'd better run away!Don't worry about being punished later and leaving no room to reason.

But he had just taken two steps when he heard Li Ye's voice behind him.

"Are you leaving now? Don't you want to talk for a while?"

"."

"I, I still have to go home and do my homework!"

He Weiguo didn't dare to look back, so he covered his head and ran away, vowing never to have anything to do with Li Ye's nemesis again.

In the evening, Li Ye cooked some dishes himself, which surprised Wen Leyu and others.

They originally thought that Li Ye was just a talker but not a man of action, but they didn't expect that he could be so skilled with his hands.

Li Ye also bought orange soda today, and the atmosphere at the small dining table suddenly became lively.

Everyone imitated how adults drink, saying "Toast you a drink" and "I'll do it first" to each other, and it was so lively and hilarious.

At this time, Li Yecai saw the youthful, lively and quirky shadows of later generations of girls in Han Xia, Hu Man and others.

Especially Wen Leyu, who seemed to have thrown away the shackles wrapped around him in an instant, and his bright smile amazed Li Ye, Li Dayong and others.

In Li Ye's memory, this little girl laughed for the second time!

[I have achieved a small success in training, I am very pleased. 】

After more than half a year of training by Li Ye, Wen Leyu's skin already had a faint blush, and some places were as plump as sprouts.

But compared with Hu Man and Han Xia, they are still inferior.

But after all, Li Ye is a veteran driver for decades and has long since learned to look at problems from a "development perspective."

The eighteenth transformation of a girl is one threshold for a girl’s transformation. The other threshold is when she becomes a wife and a mother.

For a girl with a big frame like Han Xia, it is better for her to be self-disciplined and have a family once she is over 30 years old. Otherwise, it is possible for her to be strong and strong.

And for people like Wen Leyu, when that time comes, the body will be as plump as blowing air, and it will naturally have everything it should have, and it will naturally be thinner if it should be thin.
That is the welfare of a man for most of his life!
Some girls can only be had for a while,
Some girls are worth having for a lifetime.

. . . . . . .

The news about Teacher Ke quickly spread throughout the school.

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu.

In the past, Teacher Ke was just a non-staff teacher earning 18.5 per month, but now he is a "big shot" that is out of reach of everyone.

It is said that some people from the county wanted to come over and send some warmth, but Mr. Ke declined the offer!
A well-informed person revealed some information that was either true or false - before Mr. Ke came down, he was half a level higher than the big guys in the city.

The County No. [-] Middle School also improved the living conditions for Teacher Ke.

Originally, Principal Chang wanted to change Teacher Ke to a more decent place to live, but Teacher Ke did not agree. It has only been more than a month, so there is no need to worry too much.

Principal Chang had no choice but to update the inside and outside of Teacher Ke’s small dormitory, including a new bed, a new desk, a new door, and new windows.

If the post and telecommunications office hadn't been so powerful these days, Principal Chang would have given Teacher Ke a personal phone.

But Teacher Ke has not changed at all in his treatment of students.

She is still so gentle and elegant. When students ask her questions, she never gets a little impatient, even during evening self-study time.

That evening, Teacher Ke was on duty in the office.

This has been her habit since she came to the No. [-] Middle School in the county. If any classmates need advice, they can knock on the door and come to her at any time. She has persisted for hundreds of days.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Come in~"

Jin Shengli and Xia Yue pushed open the door and entered the office, smiling reservedly at the kind Teacher Ke.

"Oh, it's you two! Sit down!"

Teacher Ke did not look at them coldly because of the conflict between Xia Yue and Li Ye, but calmly greeted them to sit down.

After the two sat down, there was silence for two seconds. Jin Shengli asked: "Mr. Ke, we are here today to ask you to give us some advice.
Based on our current English scores and levels, do we meet the special admission standards of Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute? "

"Are you going to take the entrance examination at Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute?"

Teacher Ke was a little surprised. In recent years, English talents have become more and more popular, so the popularity of applying for foreign language colleges has also continued to increase.

A 100-point question like Jin Shengli's can only get [-] or [-] points, so why do you still want to be admitted?That can be said to be somewhat overestimating one's capabilities.

Xia Yue was better. She scored 83 points in the English test during the pre-test, which is pretty good in a small place like Qingshui County.

But Beijing Foreign Languages ​​College is not an ordinary foreign language college. I don’t know how many people across the country are struggling to get in!

Teacher Ke thought for a while and said: "I don't know the special admission standards of Beijing Foreign Language School, but Lu Jingyao's college entrance examination English test score last year was 97 points. In addition, the score of Beijing Foreign Language School recruiting science students in Dongshan last year was also relatively low. "

Teacher Ke emphasized the words "college entrance examination" and "97", hoping that the two of them could understand that the college entrance examination is not a preliminary examination, and you Xia Yue may not be Lu Jingyao.

There was nothing strange about Jin Shengli, but Xia Yue's expression changed obviously.

Teacher Ke guessed that Jin Shengli was actually asking for Xia Yue. Xia Yue was too embarrassed to consult her because of a small friction with Li Ye.

Xia Yue frowned and finally couldn't help but said: "Teacher Ke, what if I can pass 90 points in the English test?"

Teacher Ke said: "It also depends on the scores in other subjects. Even if the scores are reduced for admission, there is a limit."

Jin Shengli immediately said: "Lu Jingyao scored 361 last year. If his total score exceeds 400 this year, it should be fine, right?"

"This"

Teacher Ke really didn’t know what to say.

When these children faced the voluntary application process, they only compared numbers, but did not expect the details.

The total score of this year’s college entrance examination is 60 points higher than last year.

Among them, Mathematics 20, English 20, and Biology 20.

Xia Yue scored 404 points in the preliminaries, which is more than 40 points higher than Lu Jingyao. After calculation, it seems that she is still a little higher than Lu Jingyao.

But that’s not how the score is calculated.

In the 80s, when there was no syllabus and no standard, the difficulty of the college entrance examination questions was not accurate at all. For example, in Chinese language in 85, there were eight college students in the university dormitory, and only one passed.

In this volatile environment, it is too dangerous for you to place your hope on special admissions.

"I'm not sure about this. I think there is a risk, and it's not small."

Teacher Ke gave pertinent opinions.

In her opinion, Xia Yue's grades at the moment were already good, and a more prudent application was the right way.

Lu Jingyao and Teacher Ke had been reviewing one-on-one for a long time, and Xia Yue was still far from being ready when Cai Bingxing was in danger.

Xia Yue lowered her head, but quickly raised it again and said firmly: "Teacher Ke, what if I can get a score of 430?"

"The possibility is high, but I think 440 points is safe."

Teacher Ke has met too many people like Xia Yue. She seems to be asking you for advice, but in fact she does not want to hear your analysis, but just wants to hear your agreement.

If Xia Yue can get a score of 440, it is still possible to apply to Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute. At worst, she will not be admitted to the English major and will be transferred to a minor language!
Children these days think that just speaking a foreign language makes them superior. How did they know that there is such a thing as Punjabi?
"Thank you, Teacher Ke, let's go back."

Teacher Ke's ambiguous words reached Xia Yue's ears, but she was immediately filled with confidence. She stood up and said goodbye to Jin Shengli and left.

Teacher Ke was slightly startled, and then said: "Actually, Xia Yue, you may not have to take the exam outside Beijing. Many other undergraduate colleges are also good. There are too many variables in the college entrance examination, so it is better to be safe."

"I understand, thank you, Teacher Ke."

Looking at Xia Yue's leaving figure, Teacher Ke sighed.

How can a child who is too arrogant listen to advice?
. . . . . . . .

After leaving Teacher Ke's office, Jin Shengli also advised Xia Yue: "Why don't you apply to other colleges? Insurance is the priority."

But Xia Yue said: "Lu Jingyao wrote, and she bought us a few self-study books, including "Algebra" and "Plane Geometry".
Now what you and I are lacking is algebra and geometry. Do you think if we make up for this shortcoming, can we get a score of 430? "

"That would be great."

Jin Shengli was overjoyed.

It turned out that they had just received a series of self-study books from Lu Jingyao in the past few days, and they were very happy after reading them.

The self-study series is the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" by Shanghai Science and Technology Press, commonly known as "Seventeen Books".
It was reprinted in 77 when there was a shortage of books. The supply exceeded the demand and there is no trace of it on the market at all.The first person to own a complete set of 17 books must have great supernatural powers.

Lu Jingyao said that it was through a friend with background that he sent three of the volumes of "Chemistry".

Chemistry is also a weakness of Xia Yue and others, or the entire county's No. [-] Middle School.

Because there is no chemistry experiment class in County No. [-] Middle School, many teachers still can’t understand such abstract knowledge!It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a chicken and a duck.

However, "Chemistry" in the self-study series is rich in content, easy to understand, and easy to understand, which is very conducive to students' self-study.

Even half a century later, this book still has important reference value.Since Xia Yue and Jin Shengli got Lu Jingyao's paper, their scores have improved by leaps and bounds, both rising by dozens of points.
So they take it for granted that after making up for their shortcomings in "Chemistry" and "Algebra", they can definitely jump to another level.

420 points, 430 points, or even 440 points are no problem.

. . . . . . . . .

Wen Leyu's father arrived faster than expected.

When a high-end car and a large truck drove into the County No. [-] Middle School, Wen Leyu was studying with Li Ye and others in the Erliangdian.

Teacher Luo came and shouted "Wen Leyu, your dad is here", which made Xiao Nizi stunned for five or six seconds.

Then she stood up suddenly and was about to run out, but stopped again and looked back at Li Ye.

The autumn-like eyes conveyed the meaning of "Will you come with me?"

Li Ye smiled and raised his chin, signaling her to go quickly.

At this time, it was not suitable for him to go over and join in the fun.

When people think about his kindness, they will naturally show it. If they rush to get close to him, they will only belittle themselves and reduce themselves to an embarrassing position.

Wen Leyu ran away like the wind,

Hu Man and others in the small warehouse looked at her and Li Ye with envy.

By this time, even a blind person could see that Wen Leyu had a special attachment to Li Ye.

If this develops smoothly, it will be incredible.
Wen Qingsheng came to Qingshui in a very low-key manner. He only donated a truckload of food and materials to the school, which was a repayment for the county No. [-] Middle School's care for Teacher Ke over the past six months.

This is much better than empty talk. The teachers and students in the school praised each other one after another, all talking about the good things about Teacher Ke and his daughter, completely forgetting the loneliness they felt when they first came here.

At night, Wen Leyu ran back to Erliang Store.

She told Li Ye that she would go to the countryside with her father and mother tomorrow to visit some of the neighbors and friends she had made over the years.

Xiao Nizi explained to Li Ye nonchalantly, for example, in a certain month of a certain year, the neighbor's aunt saw that she was sick, so she stewed her own chicken and brought it over.
For example, one day in a certain month, the house where we lived was leaking, and a few kind-hearted people took the risk and quietly repaired the roof.

Teacher Ke remembers every little kindness and favor in his heart and needs to go there.

Before leaving, Wen Leyu hesitated for a long time, then turned red and said to Li Ye, "Don't be impatient! My dad doesn't know about you yet! My mom will tell him later."

Of course Li Ye was not in a hurry. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

As for the little girl Wen Leyu, he was determined to take it.

. . . . . .

Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke ran around with Wen Leyu for a whole day to repay the debt they had owed over the years. By the time they returned to the dormitory of the County No. [-] Middle School, it was already evening.

"Xiao Yu, today you go to the girls' dormitory and squeeze in with Hu Man! I want to talk to your dad about something."

"it is good!"

Wen Leyu agreed very quickly. She has been anxious these two days, waiting for her mother to tell her father about Li Ye.
All the small favors and favors have been repaid, but the biggest creditor is still standing aside!

After Wen Leyu left, Teacher Ke took out a complete manuscript and placed it in front of Wen Qingsheng.

"This is why you can come back suddenly. You will understand after watching it."

Wen Qingsheng was stunned. He had also asked his wife these days why he came back so suddenly, but Teacher Ke didn't say anything. He thought he had survived it all!
Wen Qingsheng was originally anxious to do something, but now he could only pick up the manuscript and read it quickly, somewhat absent-mindedly.

But he only flipped through it for five minutes when he immediately realized something.

He looked up at his wife in surprise and asked, "Is this written about my father and his family?"

Teacher Ke nodded: "Actually, it was difficult for me to find relationships last year. As you know, there are many people like you.
Then by chance, I found someone to write this book, and I was able to get in, and there was a turn for the better."

Wen Qingsheng's eyes were red and he said to Teacher Ke: "I've suffered so much for you. I didn't expect that it was you who didn't give up on me in the end."

Teacher Ke was angry and laughed: "Who else could it be? We are like grasshoppers on a rope, and we will be inseparable for the rest of our lives."

"That doesn't sound good to you."

Wen Qingsheng smiled, lowered his head and continued reading the manuscript.

When he first watched it, he was very excited, obviously because he thought of the older generation and felt something in his heart.

But then, he lost his excitement and kept moving for a long time without moving.

He was fascinated.

Internet novels written after 40 years play on the psychology of grabbing people. Compared with the literature of the 80s, they are particularly attractive.

One hour, two hours,
Teacher Ke made the bed and said helplessly: "Okay, don't read it now. I will take you to meet the author tomorrow."

"Hmm, fine."

Wen Qingsheng agreed, took off his clothes and lay down, but in the process, his eyes could not leave the manuscript.

10 minutes later,
"Stop looking and go to sleep."

"Hmm, I'll look at it again, I'll look at it again."

Teacher Ke was furious, grabbed the manuscript and threw it out.

The husband and wife have been separated for so many years, and they are reunited after a long separation. Why don't you give me a night to study?

Did you use it in the wrong place?
. . . . . .

After a long time, Teacher Ke said quietly: "Did you know that in the past two or three years, Xiao Yu stopped talking?
I remember that one month, she said a total of three sentences to me, but not a word to anyone else. "

"What?"

Wen Qingsheng sat up suddenly and said anxiously: "Xiao Yu stopped talking? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Teacher Ke pulled him down again and whispered: "What's the use of telling you? Can you fly over and save our mother and daughter?"

"."

Wen Qingsheng fell silent as he blamed himself, and then said: "But I think our girl looks like this these days."

"It's nothing now," Teacher Ke said: "Since she came to the County No. [-] Middle School last year, she has studied writing novels with Li Ye. Your daughter's contribution to your life-saving straw is a part of it!"

"That's for sure. My daughter is the best. I've been relying on the letters she wrote all these years. Huh?"

Wen Qingsheng felt something was wrong and asked Teacher Ke: "Who is that Li Ye?"

Teacher Ke said: "Li Ye is Xiao Yu's classmate. They were at the same desk. At that time, Li Ye was writing a novel called "Latent"."

Teacher Ke spent a long time telling Wen Qingsheng everything that happened in the past six months in detail, and Wen Qingsheng was immediately stunned.

"Zhiyu, do you think that Li Ye is still a child?"

"Well, one year older than Xiao Yu."

"Sigh~~"

Wen Qingsheng took a breath, feeling incredible.

He really couldn't believe that a little kid had played a huge role in his life.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been here for two days and I haven't thanked anyone yet. Isn't this going to poke someone's spine?"

Wen Qingsheng was a little annoyed. He had a clear sense of grudges and resentments, and he couldn't bear it if he accepted other people's feelings.

Teacher Ke said: "Go and see him tomorrow! But let me tell you! Our Xiaoyu might have some fun with him. I didn't stop him and let it take its course."

"."

Wen Qingsheng was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Then I have to take a good look, but don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, we can't lose others. I, Wen Qingsheng, have always been upright."

"Yes, yes, you are so righteous. If you hadn't been righteous, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

. . . . . . .

Li Ye vaguely heard Dahuang calling, and when he looked up, the sky outside had just brightened.

He got dressed and got out of bed. When he arrived at the door, the doorman, Uncle Gu, had already opened the door.

Seeing Teacher Ke leading a tall man in, Li Ye knew who the other person was.

"No wonder Wen Leyu grew so tall."

Girls these days are definitely tall at 1.7 meters. But looking at Wen Qingsheng's height of 1.8 meters, you know that this is hereditary.

Li Ye is looking at Wen Qingsheng, and Wen Qingsheng is also looking at Li Ye.

After seeing Li Ye, he and Teacher Ke looked at each other, as if to say: "This kid is pretty good, no worse than me."

Teacher Ke curled his lips and said nothing.

As for Li Ye's appearance, there is really no choice. All the mothers-in-law in the world will not be dissatisfied.

Li Ye asked: "Hello, Teacher Ke, who is this uncle?"

Before Teacher Ke could introduce him, Wen Qingsheng stretched out his hand: "Hello, classmate Li Ye, I am Wen Qingsheng."

Li Ye hurriedly shook hands: "Hello, Uncle Wen, please come in!"

Wen Qingsheng's palms are very broad and his handshake is very strong, which makes people feel at ease.

However, Li Ye saw the familiar look in the other person's eyes.

When my father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, he is picky.

Anyone who has raised cabbage for more than ten years will be reluctant to let pigs take over it.

Generally speaking, pigs need to be careful and take a bite quietly first to make it easier to pass.

It took Li Ye more than half a year to make a tooth mark on Wen Leyu's cabbage.

Sure enough, the next moment Wen Qingsheng said: "The young man is good, but he has lost a little weight."

[Where have I lost weight?This is my standard way of dressing to look thin, taking off my clothes to show off my body, and killing both young and old, okay?If you don’t believe me, take a look at Teacher Ke’s eyes. 】

But since someone has brought it up, you have to use your strength to deny it to him.

Just outside the door of the small warehouse, there is a large water tank for storing water.

In this situation where tap water cannot be supplied all day long, it is normal to collect rainwater or use tap water for washing and scrubbing.

Li Ye wiped out the large vat a few meters with a smooth swipe, making the entrance to the small warehouse appear more spacious.

Wen Qingsheng's eyes lit up and he felt a little satisfied.

The young man looks thin but quite energetic.

"Please come in! Uncle Wen, Teacher Ke."

Wen Qingsheng followed Li Ye into the small warehouse. When he saw the small blackboard, desk, and a large number of papers, he couldn't help but nodded.

His wife, Teacher Ke, is a cultural person, and his daughter will definitely be a college student in the future. If Li Ye is unmotivated, then he must have some regrets in his heart.

In the corner of the small warehouse is Li Ye's special desk, with the manuscript he just wrote yesterday placed on it.
Wen Qingsheng walked over, picked up a few pages, read them, and couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, he still owes others their kindness!
"I heard that you are going to take the exam at Beijing University?"

"Yes, I want to visit Beijing University."

Wen Qingsheng asked again: "Then if you write novels now, will it affect your college entrance examination?"

Li Ye said: "Probably not. I only write for a short while every day, and I still have to do questions the rest of the time."

Wen Qingsheng nodded and extended his hand to Li Ye again: "When you arrive in the capital, remember to come home and have a drink with me."

Li Ye shook hands and agreed: "Of course, I will definitely come to visit you and Teacher Ke."

Wen Qingsheng shook Li Ye's hand vigorously and said, "I am here in a hurry this time and I am pressed for time, so I will not visit your home. I will ask Teacher Ke to go there for me and pay a visit to your elders."

"Okay okay."

Li Zhiye was overjoyed and very happy.

At Wen Qingsheng's current level and in this situation, it is actually inappropriate to go to Li's house.

So he asked Mr. Ke to come to the door officially, which was also a sign that our two families would be related in the future and be different from outsiders.

Wen Qingsheng left. From beginning to end, he did not say "thank you" to Li Ye.

First, because nice words are worthless, only actions can tell the truth.

The second reason is because I learned from my wife’s conversation last night that this kid still doesn’t know what to call me in the future?

If you say "thank you" at this time, if you lose face, how will you maintain your airs in the future?How to drink this wine?
How embarrassing.
