Stars warm firefly

Chapter 27 The turning point is only in an instant (1)
When Xu Heyin and Bu Zidu were eagerly looking forward to Bu Xiaomo's slow delivery of letters, Christmas arrived unknowingly.

"Xu Heyin, do you have time? Buy math homework paper with me!"

During the break before evening self-study, Zhou Jingyou came over to beg Xu Heyin.Due to the cold weather in winter, Zhou Jingyou refused to let his mother come to deliver the food on the grounds that it was too cold.Aunt Zhou also felt that eating in the school cafeteria would save time, so she agreed.

However, Zhou Jingyou was a little weird today.In order to buy a math homework paper, he dragged Xu Heyin to the supermarket two streets away from the school to buy it.

"This is almost the neighborhood where I rent, is it cheap here?" Xu Heyin asked.

"You'll find out later, there's a surprise!" Zhou Jingyou went to the cashier to line up to pay with a smile.

Because Christmas is approaching, Christmas music is played in the supermarket, and the shelves are full of Christmas decorations.

All that was slandered, all that was covered up, all that was hurt, before time, will eventually pass away.

Xu Heyin remembered that when she was in her third year of high school last year, the original high school held a party.Originally, there was no evening party in the third year of high school, but because two of the teachers leading this class are about to retire, as the last senior year they lead, the whole grade made an exception and held a short fellowship during the class meeting time.Even though it took less than an hour, the students still carefully arranged the venue.The propaganda committee bought Christmas lights and hung them on the front and back blackboards. The colorful lights illuminated the countdown sign, which temporarily relieved the nervousness before the exam preparation.

The five girls in Xu Heyin's group sang together.After they sang, the publicity committee read a short essay about youth in due course, not only missing the three years of high school campus time, but also looking forward to the wonderful life of the university in the future.Seeing Ying Yuan clapping vigorously below, Xu Heyin was very moved and contradictory.I hope to stay in this moment forever, but also want to quickly adjust the time faster. It is best to wake up when the college entrance examination is over, and she is already a college student.

However, life seems to have played a joke on her.Although she walked out of that moment, she didn't reach the place she yearned for. Instead, she seemed to be stuck in a frozen moment, unable to move.

"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to use the wishing card." The cashier lady handed over a small card with a smile.

"What is this?" Xu Heyin asked.She thought of the Christmas tree with all the cards she saw when she walked into the supermarket.

"It's a wishing card. You can hang it on the tree after you finish writing it!" Zhou Jingyou said while taking out the ballpoint pen in his pocket, and carefully wrote down his wish: I wish Xu Heyin can be admitted to the university in his mind, and wish Mo Feifei has become an excellent painter, and wishes Fang Jiwan to make beautiful clothes.

"Zhou Jingyou, and yourself!" Xu Heyin reminded.

"Oh, I can't write more, I'll write mine next time." Zhou Jingyou said vaguely.

The two walked out together, and when they arrived under the Christmas wishing tree, they saw a familiar figure.

"Fang Jiwan, are you here too?" Xu Heyin greeted him while peeking at Zhou Jingyou, thinking it was a bit of a coincidence, and then she found the answer in Zhou Jingyou's demeanor. .

"Yes, let's buy some daily necessities." Fang Jiwan shook the card in his hand and asked, "You hang up wishing cards too? Do you need my help?"

"Well, no need." Zhou Jingyou carefully hid his card behind a row of cards and said while hanging it up, "Of course I have to hang up my own wish, so that it can come true!"

Worried that Zhou Jingyou's sight would be blocked, Xu Heyin stretched out his hand to help Zhou Jingyou push away the twigs at hand.At this moment, they heard Fang Jiwan shout: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Fang Jiwan's wrist was grabbed by a young man wearing a cotton hat, and Zhou Jingyou's wallet was still in his hand.

Xu Heyin remembered that this young man was behind Zhou Jingyou and himself when he paid the money just now, and later followed them here.At first Xu Heyin thought that the other party would also hang a wishing card.It turned out that the other party was eyeing their property.

"It's a thief, catch the thief!" Xu Heyin shouted loudly, and many people looked at them.

"Fuck you." The thief suddenly kicked Fang Jiwan's leg, and the defenseless Fang Jiwan was kicked firmly to the ground.Taking advantage of Fang Jiwan's fall, the thief pushed Zhou Jingyou and Xu Heyin away and quickly ran away. Zhou Jingyou hurried over to help Fang Jiwan up and exclaimed:
"Fang Jiwan, your hand."

Only then did Xu Heyin realize that Fang Jiwan's palm had scratched a piece of skin.It happened that a police patrol car passed by, and the thief was caught by the police who came after hearing the news, and the wallet was also taken back.

When Zhou Jingyou and Xu Heyin accompanied Fang Jiwan to the hospital and returned after treating the wound, there was only half an hour left before the end of evening self-study.

"Fang Jiwan, thank you!"

"It's a small matter, but luckily the police passed by." Fang Jiwan waved goodbye to the two girls.

"Xu Heyin, don't tell my mother what happened today!" Zhou Jingyou still didn't forget to tell her when he returned to the dormitory.

In the evening of the second day, after dinner, the students returned to the classroom one after another to prepare for evening self-study.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Cheng Xin next to Xu Heyin was knocked on the back of the chair by Gu Yi.

"It's nothing, I'm watching Xu Heyin!" Cheng Xin replied, holding his chin.

Their eyes swept over Xu Heyin.She used one finger to draw a smiling face on the steam-filled glass window.A few people looked out along the eyes, nose, and mouth of the smiling face, and the campus was completely dark.

"Ah, I can't see anything here. Our class used to be facing the road. During Christmas, Santa Claus was posted on the windows of the office building opposite. If you're lucky, you can see some employees of the company performing performances!" Gu Yi was a little disappointed, then turned his head and said to Cheng Xin, "Remember, your class had a party at the time, right? But my classmates envied me to death. Your old class is really good."

"Yes, Lao Ban said that the last year of high school life is always special!" Cheng Xin said dejectedly, "Oh, it's a pity it's not my last senior year!"

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to do it this year! Didn't you improve your score by more than ten points in the last weekly exam? It's very promising!" Gu Yi said, patting his chest.

"Hey, Xu Heyin, how did you spend Christmas in your third year of high school?" Cheng Xin turned his head and asked Xu Heyin.

"I just used the time of the class meeting to celebrate briefly!" Xu Heyin said lightly, retracting his finger that was doodling on the glass, "I remember that I was still in time for the exam that afternoon!"

"Ah, it's so miserable!" Cheng Xin leaned his head back on the chair, and his hair was spread on Gu Yi's desk behind him, causing Gu Yi to yell, "Sister, my desk is covered with dandruff."

"Really, the soil is so fertile, why don't you plant something!" It seemed that Cheng Xin's Christmas could only be spent joking with Gu Yi.

Just as he was talking, there was a crisp "pop" sound from the door of the classroom, which seemed so abrupt in the calm before the evening self-study was about to start.

"Oh, it's Zhou Jingyou's mother who is here, she seems very angry." A classmate said mysteriously after entering from the door.

Bad, could it be that Aunt Zhou knew what happened yesterday?Xu Heyin stood up abruptly and ran out of the classroom.

"Where did you say you didn't go to self-study yesterday?" Aunt Zhou stared at her daughter sullenly.

"I, I'm going to buy math homework paper." Zhou Jingyou clearly had a slap print on his left face.

"Aunt Zhou, Zhou Jingyou went shopping with me in the supermarket yesterday, I can testify!" Seeing this, Xu Heyin hurried over to grab Aunt Zhou's arm.Now that I think about it, it was a wise idea to go along with me.

"I didn't ask you, let her tell herself." Aunt Zhou didn't look at Xu Heyin, she just stared at her daughter after shaking off her hand, "Don't think I don't know if you don't say anything! Yesterday you skipped class just to be with a Let the boys go shopping together? Hmph, if one of my employees didn’t happen to pass by there and saw you chatting and laughing with a boy, I would still be kept in the dark!”

Xu Heyin bit his lip, that man really had a big annoying mouth.Unfortunately, they didn't see the shopping in front of them, nor did they catch the thief behind, but they saw the scene where they and Fang Jiwan hung the wishing card.

"No, it's none of his business." Zhou Jingyou burst into tears.

"You're still protecting him! Have you forgotten why you're sitting here!" Aunt Zhou said loudly, "Do you know how embarrassing your mother is because you didn't get into college this year? It turned out to be temporarily canceled. Do you know how bad the rumors are? You don’t cherish the opportunity now, and you hang out with boys. Do you know that if you still fail to enter the university next year, you will lose not only My own face, and my mother's face!"

Zhou Jingyou sobbed silently, some of the surrounding students shook their heads and sighed sympathetically, and some whispered and gossiped about which boy Zhou Jingyou was shopping with.Xu Heyin felt that Aunt Zhou's actions made Zhou Jingyou the object of discussion.

"Youyou, let me tell you, I don't have time to deal with these messy things for you, either I'll keep an eye on you 24 hours a day, and you review me obediently, or I'll go find that boy and solve this matter completely." Aunt Zhou Turning around and asking Xu Heyin, "Do you know the boy in which class? Tell me, who is he?"

"Aunt Zhou, nothing happened at all!" Xu Heyin felt that Aunt Zhou was making trouble out of no reason.

"Okay, I promise you, I promise you everything! From now on I will never go out privately again, I will study hard, and I will definitely meet your requirements." Zhou Jingyou suddenly wiped away tears, firmly Say, "Like you said, you can be with me 24 hours a day, and I won't be distracted from anything."

24 hours?
The classmates around looked at each other in blank dismay, which was really unbelievable.Xu Heyin sighed. Only a person with a personality like Aunt Zhou would have come up with this method.Since Zhou Jingyou's father passed away, for Aunt Zhou, running the company and training Zhou Jingyou were the two most important things.Now, for the sake of Zhou Jingyou's future, can she even give up the company?But it was Aunt Zhou's painstaking effort, how could she just give up if she said she would give it up?

When the bell rang for evening self-study, Zhou Jingyou and Xu Heyin seemed to be pardoned.

Seeing that her daughter had compromised, she did what she said, and immediately stood in the corridor outside the classroom door waiting for get out of class to end.Xu Heyin prayed silently, I hope this is just a momentary act of Aunt Zhou's anger!

After this turmoil, the atmosphere in the classroom became very depressing.When many people looked at the blackboard, they would glance at Zhou Jingyou from time to time.But Zhou Jingyou didn't seem to realize it, and focused on reading the board book and writing notes with his red and swollen half face up.

Zhou Jingyou has perseverance, and Aunt Zhou has even more perseverance.

In the nearly one month from Christmas to the Spring Festival, Aunt Zhou seemed to be going all out. After temporarily handing over her company to Zhou Jingyou's uncle, she really followed Zhou Jingyou 24 hours a day.Aunt Zhou confiscated Zhou Jingyou's mobile phone.She will not be allowed to stay at night for self-study, and will drive to pick her up and send her home in the morning.Aunt Zhou watched Zhou Jingyou's every move in the corridor outside the classroom every day, and even alarmed the teacher.

It's just that the teacher saw that she didn't affect the teaching order, and couldn't bear to blast her outside the teaching building to freeze in the winter, so he had to understand her painstaking efforts and acquiesced in her behavior.

During the class break, the students who went out would inevitably discuss in a low voice when they saw Aunt Zhou, and then they would guess whether Aunt Zhou was supervising Zhou Jingyou.Even the boys in the class didn't dare to look at her, for fear of getting into trouble if Aunt Zhou found out.But not long after, they gathered around Zhou Jingyou to ask questions as usual.The one who had just finished asking the math question came over again holding the chemistry question, which made Aunt Zhou dumbfounded.

"How is it? Is Zhou Jingyou very popular recently?" Mo Feifei sent a text message one day to ask Xu Heyin.

"Yeah, is this another idea of ​​your Heroine Mo?" Xu Heyin had already heard Gu Yi who was next to him, who was known as PHS, say it.

In order to rescue Zhou Jingyou, Mo Feifei encouraged her classmates and friends to find Zhou Jingyou more, especially boys, so that Aunt Zhou could not tell which one she needed to focus on.

"Hey, that's all I can help with. The rest is up to you." Mo Feifei is about to prepare for the professional exam, and it is said that he has to rush to several test centers in other places, and he may not even be able to complete the Spring Festival.

Although it is a student cafeteria, it's not that parents cannot come in, it's just that it is more conspicuous among a bunch of students.What's more, Aunt Zhou didn't eat at all, she just sat next to Zhou Jingyou and watched her daughter eat.Under the strange eyes of all the students in the school, the mother and daughter turned a blind eye with a peaceful expression.

Zhou Jingyou stared at her dinner plate, as if every grain of rice and every leaf of vegetable was worthy of her careful study, and every look and every movement of her was also interpreted and analyzed by Aunt Zhou.Under Aunt Zhou's supervision, Zhou Jingyou became thinner and thinner.

Before the winter vacation, Xu Heyin took advantage of the opportunity of handing out homework and ran to Zhou Jingyou, blocking Aunt Zhou's scrutiny at the door of the classroom and whispered to Zhou Jingyou, "I heard that Fang Jiwan is on vacation, so you don't have to worry."

Zhou Jingyou's eyes fell on the paper that had just been handed out, those red forks were very dazzling.Well, I don't know if it's because of too much psychological pressure, but this time her grades actually dropped to No.10.Auntie has something to say next week!
In fact, when Fang Jiwan was on vacation, he heard that a parent appeared in the restaurant recently. It is said that he came up with a solution after learning that his daughter was shopping with a boy and delayed her class.Fang Jiwan didn't think about Zhou Jingyou at all, he only knew that the student was Zhou Jingyou when he heard the students' discussion from the staff dormitory to the water room to fetch water.

"Oh, that mother really comes here every day. If I were her daughter, I wouldn't be able to bear it." A girl curled her lips and said.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to be a student with a high score last year!" Another girl asked curiously, "Who do you think Zhou Jingyou went out with?"

"I asked the boys in their class, and they didn't seem to know." The girl said after making coffee, "Maybe they are people from the society, or what her mother said so badly? I really can't tell that the usual quiet and shy People are so open!"

The two girls left chirping.Fang Jiwan stood there in a daze, until the hot water overflowing from the water bottle scalded his hands before he recovered.It turned out that I made Aunt Zhou misunderstand Zhou Jingyou.

Is it possible to change Zhou Jingyou's situation by explaining it clearly?

Fang Jiwan quietly observed Zhou Jingyou and her mother on campus, hoping to find an opportunity to explain what happened that day.However, when he saw the opportunity and planned to go up to greet them, he was patted twice on the back.He looked back, it was Mo Feifei.

"If I were you, I wouldn't cause Zhou Jingyou any more trouble now." Mo Feifei seemed to have come to find Fang Jiwan on purpose, "Her mother still doesn't know who Zhou Jingyou went out with that day , and she is so good because she doesn't want her mother to find you."

"Actually, I just explained to her mother that things are not what she thought." Fang Jiwan said to Mo Feifei.

"Xu Heyin has said everything that needs to be said. It's useless for you to say it again. Her mother won't believe it." Mo Feifei continued, "Oh, maybe her mother doesn't care who goes out with Zhou Jingyou at all, she I only care about who delays her daughter's study time. In fact, just make sure that no one will interfere with Zhou Jingyou's college entrance examination. When her mother relaxes her vigilance after the Spring Festival, you can still contact me again!"

Fang Jiwan shook his head and said, "I wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Jingyou."

"Farewell?" Mo Feifei asked in surprise.

"I heard that a shop on the street next to the supermarket is going to be sublet, and I want to rent it to be a tailor." Fang Jiwan smiled and said, "I've seen it, and there is no tailor shop nearby, so I think it's a good opportunity. I just want to try it. It just so happens that before the Spring Festival there are rented out bunks, so I don’t want to let go of this opportunity.”

"It's next to the supermarket, so there must be a lot of customers, and it's not too far from the school. Even if Zhou Jingyou wants to visit, you can meet him." Mo Feifei said happily, "Zhou Jingyou must be very happy to know this news. Fang Ji Wan, congratulations, you finally realized your dream."

"It's just the first step, and I will definitely encounter many difficulties in the future." Fang Jiwan was a little embarrassed by Mo Feifei's praise.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning! After the first step, there will be a second step!" Mo Feifei took a long breath and stretched out his cotton-gloved hand to high-five Fang Jiwan, "I also have to work hard to get the professional exam Both the cultural and cultural exams were successful."

When Mo Feifei turned to go back to the classroom, she purposely went to the science class to see Zhou Jingyou.She wanted to tell Zhou Jingyou that Fang Jiwan's departure was not due to the turmoil between Zhou Jingyou and his mother, but because he wanted to fulfill his wish.But she never found the right opportunity.

Mo Feifei still remembered Zhou Jingyou's appearance when he took a portrait of Zhou Jingyou last time, holding the thread and carefully sewing clothes, so determined and intoxicated.It's the same feeling you get when you pick up a paintbrush.It is an emotion that can only be felt when the body and mind are free to devote themselves to something.Although Zhou Jingyou's grades were better than hers, to some extent Mo Feifei felt that she was luckier than Zhou Jingyou.
