The Late School

PS: Asking for a monthly pass, the ranking dropped.

It's raining outside, and it gets bigger and bigger.

One autumn rain and one cold, the temperature began to drop faster.

Zhang Tan also came to the corridor and asked Xiaoqian's father, "How did you get here?"

"Come by taxi." Xiaoqian's father said.

"Here you have to go to the intersection, and it's not easy to take a taxi on rainy days. Wait a minute, I'll drive you back."

A few minutes later, the car drove into the traffic, and the voice of the children came from the back row.

Zhang Tan drove them home, Jiang Bin followed, and Xiaoqian was whispering and whispering in the back at the moment.

Xiaoqian's mother was also sitting in the back row, and Xiaoqian's father was in the passenger seat.

Their home is not far from Xiaohongma, and it didn't take ten minutes to drive there. It was a rented house, an old community.

It's 9 o'clock in the evening, Xiaoqian's father invited Zhang Tan to sit at home. Zhang Tan didn't speak yet, Jiang Bin looked up at him hopefully, so that he could not refuse.

"Drink some water, the house is a little messy."

Xiaoqian's mother handed Zhang Tan water, Jiang Bin had already got into the room with Xiaoqian, and the two children were muttering, Xiaoqian wanted to share various little secrets in the bedroom with him.

Zhang Tan looked at this home, two rooms and one living room, about 60 square meters, old furniture, but clean and tidy, the decoration is very warm, the most eye-catching is the various photos on the wall, a family of three, a small couple surrounded baby.

Some babies are howling and crying, some are crawling around on the ground, some are holding their mother's hand and nibbling, some are shocked when they see a giraffe, some are sitting on the bed and leaning forward and laughing, some Someone who fell asleep holding a doll, some who held their father’s legs to prevent them from going to work...

Then the baby grows up day by day, can walk, can use chopsticks, can fly in the park, can carry a small schoolbag to school, can draw by himself, can perform singing and dancing in public...

Zhang Tan also saw a photo of the Little Red Horse Late Night Academy. With tears in his eyes, the little baby stood pitifully at the door of the Little Red Horse Academy, rested and stood at attention, and then took this photo.

This little baby is Xiaoqian.

The photos on the wall completely record the important nodes of Xiaoqian from her infancy to the present.

Xiaoqian's father said: "I like to take pictures, and I have to record the beauty around me, but the technology is terrible, haha."

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "This technology is not bad. Really distracted photos are often random shots in life. Looking at the award-winning photographs, how many of them are specially constructed? At a certain moment. And these of yours, for a family, are some of the best moments in life. I am especially envious of the fact that the daughter does not change."

Xiaoqian's father was stunned, and he was very happy: "You passed the award, but the most important thing is that I like it. I like these photos very much. No matter how tired at work, I will be exhausted when I see them when I go home."

Zhang Tan looked at these photos carefully and said, "So, I am very envious of you. Although the house is rented, but the wife and children are there, that is a home. Is this a...B-ultrasound picture? Really interested. , It's all kept."

This is a black and white photo. Looking at the graphics, it should be a B-scanned photo.

In this photo, there is also a red snare drum, the kind that children like to shake.

With a click, Xiaoqian's father turned on the spotlight on the wall, and immediately took the photos clearly.

He leaned close, looked at the B-ultrasound photo, and said, "Yes, this is a B-ultrasound photo. Our first child is not Xiaoqian."

Zhang Tan was stunned, then hesitated: "Not Xiaoqian? That's it?"

Xiaoqian's father smiled bitterly and said, "To be precise, it is Xiaoqian's brother."

Zhang Tan knew he asked a silly question.

Xiaoqian’s father smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s been many years and we’ve come out. It was 7 years ago. My wife and I just arrived in Pujiang and we had this child by accident. Young and ignorant, my wife is too tired from work and her body is overloaded. As a result, the fetus stops, and our first child will always stay in June and 28 days."

Zhang Tan: "It must be sad, I can imagine."

"My wife almost never came out."

He took down the red snare drum in the photo, wiped the drum surface, and shook it twice. A loud drum sounded.

He laughed and said: "This kid is restless when he is in his stomach, and he often kicks his stomach. My wife said that he must be a boy. She has named her and prepared this snare drum. Doesn't he like kicking his stomach? Hit the snare drum."

He clipped the snare drum back and said, "This child is poor, and he left before he was in this world. Later, my wife was pregnant with Xiaoqian. We were very careful, and we became nervous when we were 4 months old. My wife’s physical reaction became more and more serious. I was worried and sent her back to her hometown to recuperate. Even if that was the case, it was dangerous at that time.

He smiled and said to Zhang Tan: “But at any rate, she was born safely. We all felt that her brother must be blessing her, so we gave her her brother’s name. Yao Yuexi is her brother’s name. We believe her brother will Protect her forever."

Zhang Tan was stunned: "I didn't expect to have such a story behind it. It is very sad but also very warm."

"So although Xiaoqian is very reluctant to leave Xiaohongma, there is no way. Her mother's health is not good. I am very worried about her body and fetus. To be on the safe side, it is best to go home and rest, and I will stay in Pujiang alone. If you can’t take care of Xiaoqian, let’s go back to her hometown together. Her grandparents are at home, and there are many friends at home. Children will forget these unhappy things after a while."

Zhang Tan asked: "Can you not let go of things on the Pujiang River for the time being?"

"Do you mean I'm going back too?" Xiaoqian's father shook his head: "I can put it down, but I dare not go back because I can put it down. The big city of Pujiang is too tempting. Every day countless people come and go As long as I leave, the vacant position will be filled immediately. Of course, I can also find a job at home, but I want to give my wife and children a better life, while I’m still young, and work hard for a few more years. , There may be no room for imagination."

...

Before leaving, Zhang Tan gave him a business card and asked him to call him if there were any difficulties in the future.

On the way back to the school, Jiang Bin sat in the back seat and said nothing. Zhang Tan asked him and he didn't answer.

Although the boy is only 8 years old, he already has his own thoughts.

Although the children in the garden didn't let Xiaoqian go, they cried and passed.

But he is different.

Late at night, Jiang Bin's father came to pick Jiang Bin home.

"Have you done your homework today?"

Jiang Bin packed up his schoolbag in silence, and said in a low voice, "It's done."

Jiang Bin’s father said with satisfaction: "Your head teacher praised you again today, she said you..."

A bunch of compliments, but Jiang Bin didn't hear a word.

When he walked out of the Little Red Horse Academy, he glanced back. The quiet Little Red Horse was the same as the countless nights before, but it seemed different.
