A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 40 Bad news

His high school knowledge mastery reached 83%. As expected, he succeeded in taking the third monthly exam with a high score of 690, ranking first in the school. Now his class teacher basically treats him like a treasure, and smiles brightly when he sees him.

There are 4 unclaimed items. In addition to gold, a bowl from the Kangxi official kiln, and a Mercedes-Benz SL350, the remaining items are the monthly balance items for November. They are a painting and calligraphy, Qi Baishi's shrimp, and this painting. It is about 138CM×34.4CM, a standard 4-square-foot painting, with five shrimps painted on it and signed.

Zhao Dongsheng doesn't know how much this painting is worth now, but it is probably worth a million based on the system's consistent style.Zhao Dongsheng didn't take it out, and now there is no condition to save it, so he can only stay in the system space.

Zhao Dongsheng's life is like a calm lake, with no waves in sight. In addition to attending classes tomorrow, he will chat with Zhu Weisheng, or joke with Liao Yanan, and then spend most of his free time answering questions from his classmates.

It is worth mentioning that classmate Lai Bin basically no longer chats and plays with Zhao Dongsheng. He is immersed in his own novel world every day. Zhao Dongsheng does not want to say anything more. It is useless to persuade him. He has experienced it himself. It's been a period of time like this, so I understand that state very well, it's useless for anyone to say now, only when life starts to whip him will he regret it.

The town is extremely cold in winter, and there is a biting cold wind outside. Although it has just entered December, Zhao Dongsheng has already begun to put on a sweater and long johns.

The doors and windows of the classroom are tightly closed. The classroom with more than 40 people does not seem cold inside. The physics teacher on the podium is really explaining a set of test papers. The students who are listening carefully are taking notes, while those who are not studying so seriously are taking notes. When students should go to bed, they should read novels.

"Da da da da" someone knocked on the closed classroom door from outside, and the classroom became silent. Even Lai Bin, who was secretly reading a novel, seemed to be awakened by a nightmare. He shivered and stood upright.

The physics teacher walked to the classroom with the chalk and books at ease. He knew that if there was nothing special, no one would knock on the door during class.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was the head teacher. The head teacher went to the physics teacher's ear and said a few words, then walked into the classroom.

"Zhao Dongsheng, please go out for a moment. I'll see you if I need anything." The physics teacher called Zhao Dongsheng and then continued to teach.

As soon as Liao Yanan heard the person calling Zhao Dongsheng, he looked at Te with worried eyes, patted Liao Yanan's hand, and didn't say much.Walk towards the outside of the classroom.

Zhao Dongsheng was a little confused, and at the same time he felt vaguely uneasy. Being called out like this in school probably had something special to do, otherwise the teacher would not call the students out in class.

Zhao Dongsheng, who walked outside, saw that the head teacher did not smile, and his uneasiness increased.

"Dongsheng, come with me. Your father is waiting for you at the school gate. He has already asked for leave for you. You can go back directly with your father now. I will go with you to say hello to the guard office."

When the head teacher saw Zhao Dongsheng coming out, he patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and took him downstairs.

The school uses student cards to go out. Boarding students and day students have different cards. Moreover, it is still morning and students will not be released until noon. They must be brought by the teacher.

Zhao Dongsheng didn't say anything and followed the class teacher silently. When he walked to the door, Zhao Dongsheng had already seen his father at the school gate through the gate of the school. His father was riding a motorcycle with messy hair and red ears. Now He was smoking a cigarette silently.

"Okay Dongsheng, you can go first. You can read your classmates' notes when you delay studying."

The homeroom teacher greeted Zhao Dongsheng, and then signaled the guard to let him go. After Zhao Dongsheng left, he told the guard about the situation.

"Dad, what's the situation?" Zhao Dongsheng walked quickly to his father and asked in a low voice.

"Get in the car. Something happened to your grandpa Nian. He slipped and fell on his head when he went out this morning. He kept saying that he wanted to see you. I guess... we should catch him."

Dad simply said it and didn’t say anything more. Zhao Dongsheng was a little confused for a moment and couldn’t tell what he was feeling. The elderly in the village, especially those over 80 years old, actually have a bump in the New Year every year. Winter is the most difficult. Zhao Dongsheng is taking care of him now. There was no old man left alone in his previous life.

He didn't remember why or when they died, and Zhao Dongsheng didn't care at that time.

But it's different now. During this period of time together and visiting, he showed true affection and took care of them as real elders.

When he suddenly heard the bad news, even though he was in his 30s, he couldn't accept it.

Slowly sitting on the back seat of my father's motorcycle, the wind became stronger and stronger, and occasionally there was light rain.Dad's car was driving very fast, and Zhao Dongsheng felt the biting cold wind hanging on his legs, as if he were soaking in ice water, and then the cold wind carrying raindrops slashed on his face like a knife.

When the motorcycle stopped at the door of Grandpa Nian's slightly dilapidated mud-brick house, Zhao Dongsheng's legs were a little weak when he got off the car, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or other reasons.

When I walked into the house, it was a little dim. The light bulb above my head emitted a yellowish light, making the atmosphere even more depressing. There were several village cadres standing at the door of the house, and two old men were sitting at the table smoking.Seeing Zhao Dongsheng come in, everyone looked at him.

Zhao Dongsheng did not say hello to these people and staggered into the room. An old lady inside was sitting in front of the bed. When she saw Zhao Dongsheng coming in, she stood up and gave the stool to Zhao Dongsheng. She walked out without saying anything and closed the room. Door.

What Zhao Dongsheng has done in the past few months has been seen by the elderly and village cadres in the village.I can also understand and tolerate his faux pas today.

"Great grandpa, great grandpa, I'm back"

"Ah, ah, Si Yazi."

When Grandpa heard Zhao Dongsheng's voice, his originally depressed spirit was lifted a lot. However, his voice was no longer as powerful as before and began to become hoarse and deep. He stretched out his intact arm while speaking.

"Grandpa, I'm here. You speak and I listen."

Zhao Dongsheng quickly grabbed his hand, which was dry and cold, like a piece of lifeless dead wood.

"Grandpa, I knew this would happen a long time ago. Si Yazi, don't be sad. I'm fine with you by my side in these last days."

"I, I, should have died a long time ago. I haven't read a book. I lived in ignorance before I was 20 years old. After I was 20 years old, I started to serve as a soldier. I fought in the Cross-River Battle, the Southwest Campaign, and also participated in the suppression of bandits. The Northern War just started. At the beginning, our entire company applied to become volunteers in the north. At that time, there were 158 people in our company."

Grandpa's eyes were a little straight, as if he was remembering something, while Zhao Dongsheng listened silently.Grandpa Grandpa hadn't mentioned these things to anyone for decades. Talking about them now made Zhao Dongsheng's heart sink to the bottom, but he still listened carefully to every word.
