River City Story

Chapter 19 (I sent the wrong chapter, it has been changed)

Xu Jialin's matter will not come to a conclusion for a while, and there is no way to visit him before the verdict is pronounced.Shen Han specially helped find a lawyer, and only brought out the words that Xu Jialin was in good condition, didn't suffer much, could joke around, let the two children go to school with peace of mind, and didn't care about anything else.Lin Yan didn't know if Shen Han and the lawyer said this to reassure him, but the school was about to start, so he could only slowly put things behind him for the time being and focus on his studies first.The pressure of high school students is always greater than that of junior high school students. Xicheng No. [-] Middle School is the provincial key point, and there are excellent students everywhere. Lin Yan doesn't want to be at the bottom of the class.

Feng Bowen and Song Rui quickly reconciled after a brief cold war. Before their respective schools started, together with Cai Hengyuan, the few of them got together again in the old ancestral hall.Lin Yan was still laughing and joking, he couldn't see what happened, He Zhengxi kept silent without mentioning it.After all, we are all children, and what we can do is too limited. Telling them is nothing more than adding trouble.

In September, this group of people was going to part ways, but Lin Yan didn't feel the sadness of parting at all, and he couldn't hold other things in his mind.

"Lin Yan, let me tell you, when the time comes, we must be admitted to the same university! You must... you must take the exam. Your grades are so good now. If you are still studying in Xicheng, you will be useless!" Before leaving, Cai Hengyuan was drunk Leaning on Lin Yan's neck, he breathed out the alcohol.

"Did you drink when you were in your first year of high school?" Lin Yan took his hand off his shoulder and said in disgust, "Hurry up and go home, get a good sleep, and go on the road tomorrow with peace of mind."

Cai Hengyuan became sad, he hiccuped sobbingly: "I don't want to go, I don't want to go, and I don't want to go home, you don't know, Lin Yan, my mother is really out of her mind now, it's driving me crazy, at home 1 If you don't read a book for a minute, you will start cursing, and I will call you secretly! She is not like this! I am really going crazy!"

Lin Yan didn't know what to comfort, so he could only say: "If you persist, you will be able to go out after entering the university."

"It's too plain! You have to care more about your friends!" Cai Hengyuan wailed while sitting on the steps.

Lin Yan was really speechless now.Maybe Cai Hengyuan was really sad, but Lin Yan couldn't empathize with this level of sadness.He thought, at least you have a mother who is a senior teacher. Grandma and grandpa are both retired employees of state-owned enterprises. They have enough money to spend and their lives are not bad. It is normal for a family to have expectations for this single seedling.As for Lin Yan, since he was a child, he has never even seen anything to look forward to.He said to Gao Liming that "you have to think about eating meat", which is a bit exaggerated, but the life of the old ancestral hall is indeed not plentiful, and now that something happened to Xu Jialin again, it is still unknown how far it will develop in the future.

Lin Yan had nothing to do with Cai Hengyuan, so he had to ask Song Rui and the others to send him to the teacher's apartment on the way home.

He let out a long sigh of relief when the three of them staggered away and the small courtyard became quiet again.During this time, the gate of the old ancestral hall has been closed.Except for the occasional phone call or meeting with Shen Han because of Xu Jialin's affairs, Lin Yan basically didn't have any more contact with outsiders.

Even though I thought in my heart that I had to deal with it calmly, I still cared about it, and there was still something like self-esteem reacting in my blood, and I felt ashamed and disappointed.

"It's terrible..." Lin Yan leaned against the sink and sighed softly.

"What's the matter?" He Zhengxi put the washed dishes neatly into the room.

Lin Yan wiped his hands and stood up, stretching his waist, "No, you can accompany me to No. [-] Middle School to report the day after tomorrow, so as to feel the atmosphere in advance." He Zhengxi happily gestured that there was no problem.

The registration day of Xicheng No. [-] Middle School is on Sunday, and the first week of military training does not start.Lin Yan had nothing to prepare for day-to-day study, and he could go out with a schoolbag on his back, so he was relaxed.

The distance from Linshui Street to Xicheng No. [-] Middle School is not very short, but if you catch the earliest bus and leave before the traffic jam, you can reach the school gate in more than half an hour.This alone made Lin Yan feel at ease.If it wasn't for Xu Jialin's matter, I'm afraid he would seriously consider living on campus, but with the current situation, he definitely couldn't let He Zhengxi live in the old ancestral hall alone.No matter how sensible and obedient He Zhengxi was, Lin Yan didn't want his junior high school life to be too lonely.

Before he knew it, he had gotten used to the existence of this younger brother, and sometimes Lin Yan himself was confused whether it was He Zhengxi who relied on him, or he was looking for some sense of home from He Zhengxi.In another five or ten years, will they still be able to stay by each other's side like they are now?Lin Yan dared not draw conclusions easily.

When the two got out of the car, there were still few students and parents at the school gate, and a few teachers were arranging parasols and desks.He glanced roughly, and the registration office sign of his class hadn't been displayed yet.

"Wait first, let's talk when we're full." Lin Yan grabbed He Zhengxi's arm and sat down on a bench near the teaching building. He handed He Zhengxi two breakfast pies and kept one for himself.He Zhengxi obediently sat next to Lin Yan, eating intoxicated and forgetting himself.

"According to your way of eating, it is estimated that in two years, you will be much taller than me." Lin Yan said with emotion.

He Zhengxi teased: "Brother, you just eat too little, you have to learn from me, eat more and exercise more, I guarantee you can grow taller quickly."

Lin Yan smiled and waved his hands: "That's not the case. I think it's a genetic problem. Your parents must be tall too. My parents are really average in my impression."

"I don't think you're short. You're taller than most of your peers, and more handsome than them." He Zhengxi finished the second cake in two bites, wiped the corners of his mouth with the paper towel in Lin Yan's hand, and continued: " Besides, you are not an ordinary person at all, although I don't know your parents, but you are very extraordinary."

"Oh...is that so?" Lin Yan rested his chin on the back of his hand, and smiled at He Zhengxi, bending his eyes, "Why is this unusual, tell me?"

He Zhengxi cleared his throat and counted with his fingers: "There are too many, I won't be able to finish it in a while, the food is delicious, smart, very gentle, especially good at accounting, leave all the good things to me to enjoy, Isn't it common that there is no one better than you in the world?"

When he said these words, he looked obedient and serious, his eyes were clear and bright, and he was so straightforward that Lin Yan suddenly felt a little choked up.

"Hey..." He smiled, and habitually touched He Zhengxi's cropped hair, "It's really not in vain to love you, but how can you describe it as being very gentle, it's weird."

"No surprise, I'm very pragmatic." He Zhengxi took away the pie paper bag and threw it into the trash can, then ran back quickly, stood in front of Lin Yan, looked him over several times, and said, "It's...you He looks very good-looking." He said while gesticulating, "It's a little superficial to say that you are good-looking, but I feel that the air has become more comfortable when I am next to you. It is very hot today, and it will not be hot when I am with you. When I go to bed at night, if I have a nightmare, I will move to your side, as if I am with my mother, and I will fall asleep immediately, you say it is magical..."

He Zhengxi talked a lot, some words didn't make sense, and he was worried that Lin Yan wouldn't understand, so he acted out with actions.Lin Yan thought he was stupid, but he was quite satisfied.

"Okay, I understand, you drink some water and calm down." Lin Yan handed the sports water cup to He Zhengxi, and leaned back on the chair with a smile, "Basically, the praise is quite in place, but mother, let's save it. I don't look like a girl."

He Zhengxi swallowed hastily, waved his hand and denied: "No, it's not that you look like a girl, but I want to describe you as gentle, so I say that."

"Am I gentle? I feel that I have always been heartless." Sometimes I am very impatient and short-tempered.

"It is necessary to be gentle to those who are kind to us, and there is no need for those who don't know each other." He Zhengxi took another sip, narrowed his eyes and said, "However, brother, you have to treat me more. Just be gentle."

"Satisfy you!" Lin Yan raised his hand and slapped him.Dare to pave the way for so long, just for the last sentence.

While the two were chatting, the campus gradually became lively. Lin Yan put his schoolbag on his back and said to He Zhengxi, "Let's go and find the sign for our class. Do you know which one it is?"

He Zhengxi replied shyly: "It's Class 6 of the first and second divisions of senior high school, what a joke."

Lin Yan smiled and pushed his head.

Xicheng No. 6 Middle School is very large. Every year, many students from other districts pass the exam with high scores. In addition, the number of students who are borrowed from other places far exceeds that of ordinary high schools.In order to facilitate management, the school divides each grade into three levels, and selects students to form key classes according to the level. Lin Yan's class [-] is the key class of their level.

Like a loach, He Zhengxi burrowed through the crowd for a while, and finally found the registration office of Lin Yan's class. He happily ran over to sign in first, and only remembered when he picked up the pen that this had to be signed by Lin Yan himself. Okay, so I had to squeeze out again and call Lin Yan from the other side.

"Brother, brother, brother, here!!"

"Are you a little hen! Still clucking!" Lin Yan shouted.

"Brother, in front of your future class teacher, can you be more tolerant to my younger brother!"

"Impossible, give up as soon as possible." Lin Yan said while writing his name on the attendance book.

"Hey...it's not easy for me..." He Zhengxi supported his forehead and sighed.

"I won't call you a fool in front of others."

"You have called!"

"Why don't you go roll on the ground again, now all my classmates know you."

They made jokes like no one else, and completely ignored the teacher in charge of the class.

"Hey, two brothers who love each other, get your meal card and then talk about cross talk." Zhao Sheng looked helplessly at the two children in front of him. He was the head teacher on the first day, and as expected, he met a student with a unique personality.

Lin Yan smiled embarrassedly and apologized to Zhao Sheng, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was in such a good state by accident..."

"Slick-tongued, that's it, bring your meal card, library card, and student ID card." Zhao Sheng smiled and handed a small card package to Lin Yan, and pulled out an application form and a safety manual, "This is a day-study application form, sign, stamp, and read the safety manual at home.”

"Understood!" Lin Yan packed the things, said goodbye to Zhao Sheng, and went to the flower bed to study the meal card.

Zhao Sheng is 28 years old this year. After graduating from graduate school, he applied to teach mathematics in No. 8 Middle School. Based on the principle of being a young teacher, he accumulated enough teaching experience for two years. The old principal smiled and forced him to carry this mountain called head teacher .Although he resisted from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Sheng took things seriously. After the class schedule was issued in mid-August, he spent more than ten days checking the situation of the students in the class.That Lin Yan just now is the most unique one among the 52 people.

He was deaf in the left ear. He was seriously partial to subjects in elementary school, and his total score suddenly improved significantly in junior high school.In terms of family members... no parents, only an adoptive father, and a younger brother who has no blood relationship. What surprised him even more was that this younger brother's grades were even better than Lin Yan's.

Zhao Sheng was very curious. He originally thought that the person who could raise two excellent sons should also be an elite or knowledgeable person, but the fact is just the opposite.A low-to-middle personal resume, a well-known professional householder who is doing nothing but doing nothing.Zhao Sheng didn't mean to look down on Xu Jialin, but he felt that Xu Jialin was considered a god. The two adopted sons were of top quality, and their appearance was not bad.

Zhao Sheng sighed again and again. To a certain extent, this big brother surnamed Xu, didn't he have a pretty successful life?

Lin Yan and He Zhengxi were following the route map printed on the meal card, following a small group of freshmen all over the school looking for cafeterias.His homeroom teacher did point the way just now, but the gesture was too abstract for both of them to understand.

"What's the use of building such a big school? It reduces learning efficiency! Brother, do you think so?" Lin Yan frowned in the crowd and scolded.

He Zhengxi echoed doggy-leggedly: "You're right, it takes up more of the students' rest time and is only used for traveling. Brother, I think you will have to ride a bicycle to class in the future."

"Your nonsense makes sense, maybe you really have to ride..." Lin Yan stood on the side of the road thinking for a few seconds, then waved his big hand, "Don't look for it now, anyway, there is no class today, just sit and rest for a while."

"What are you waiting for, just take another turn!" A voice sounded from the ears of the two.

Lin Yan turned his head to look, only to feel that the appearance was familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was.Seeing Lin Yan's confused face, the boy said hurtly, "Don't you know me? Lin Yan, I'm your old classmate!"

After serious consideration, Lin Yan replied, "I have hundreds of old classmates."

The boy sighed, sat down on the bench, pointed to the mole next to his ear, and said urgently: "Sun Linlin, you are always at the same table!"

"...Sun Linlin?"

Lin Yan's expression remained stagnant for a few seconds, and then he yelled out, "Fuck! Where did you go for plastic surgery? The mockup is so handsome!" Lin Yan was shocked and started clapping wildly.

Sun Linlin pretended to spit out a few mouthfuls of old blood, patted back and said, "You are much more handsome than me, okay? I can at best be considered a human being."

Lin Yan nodded: "Hi, as long as you know."

Sun Linlin: "Okay, you're still funny, you haven't changed much, it's pretty good."

Lin Yan raised his chin at him: "That must be, you have changed a lot, and you are not so lacking anymore."

Sun Linlin sighed, leaning on the back of the chair and looking up at the sky: "Can it remain the same, Xie Xiaomin has high vision, I must be able to reach it."

"Oh..." Lin Yan nodded, "Why, haven't you caught up yet? How many years has it been?"

"Don't mention it, I worked so hard to get into No. [-] Middle School, but she ended up going to an international school..."

"What a poor boy." Lin Yan hugged Sun Linlin's back comfortingly, and began to look up at the sky.

He Zhengxi watched the two people's exaggerated recognition of relatives the whole time, and couldn't get into the conversation at all. At this moment, he finally calmed down, and then he said to Lin Yan: "Brother, let's go to the cafeteria."

"That's right." Lin Yan closed his eyes and nodded, reaching out to pick up Sun Linlin who was like a dead dog, "Let's go, Master Sun, show us the way."

"I know..." Sun Linlin stood up and dragged his feet for a short distance, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Lin Yan's arm and said, "I won't be called Sun Linlin now, one less word, Sun Lin, don't be in public Call me by my primary school name in front of you! It's too majestic..."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Lin Yan thought, rubbing his ears.

When Sun Linlin grabbed Lin Yan so hard, He Zhengxi, who was following behind, noticed it immediately. His eyes instantly became a little ruthless, but they quickly recovered, and no one noticed.

"Sun Lin, right? Brother, remember, hiss..." Lin Yan freed himself from Sun Linlin's grasp, "What's the matter with you, you're still Viagra after taking Dali Wan."

Sun Linlin knelt down and performed a run-up for him, then stood up and said, "The sports student came in, otherwise my score would definitely fail."

Lin Yan rubbed his arms: "You said just now that you worked hard to pass the exam!"

Sun Linlin said innocently: "That's right, running so hard that your internal organs will be thrown out."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and imagined the scene of Sun Linlin shaking his internal organs while running, and suddenly he didn't want to continue talking to him.

The three turned around the dormitory building, and they saw the cafeteria. Lin Yan pinched his waist and asked at the door: "This is No. 1. What about the others? How many cafeterias are there in our school..."

Sun Linlin: "You don't understand this, there are four canteens in No. 1 Middle School, No. [-] is the best, and there is a beautiful Dafan sister.

"How did you know?"

Sun Linlin smiled shyly: "I came here to step on it beforehand. The sister who sells duck racks and chicken racks is the most beautiful. There are not many other young people. They are all from the generation of aunts."

"I think Xie Xiaomin was right not to choose you." Lin Yan said sadly.

"Ah? Why..." While talking, Sun Linlin didn't forget to wink at the passing kindergarten girl and make a strange face.

"Your scope is too wide, big sister in the cafeteria, little sister passing by, let alone auntie, you must hook up with anyone who is pretty."

Sun Linlin smiled nonchalantly, and led the two of them to the window of the charging card, focusing on scanning the faces of all kinds of girls in the crowd along the way, "Who is like you, not feminine, noble, and a monk." He pointed at the silent He Zhengxi beside him with his meal card: "Although our junior high school is not in the same school, you and your brother's names are known even to the scumbags in our class. , how many Huaichun girls' hearts have been hurt."

"What control? New vocabulary?" Lin Yan's thirst for knowledge came immediately.

Sun Linlin scratched his head: "It's just...well, how should I put it, you two put each other first, and others can't get in, you can understand it this way." Actually, there is a deeper meaning, Sun Linlin is He shouted with the trumpet in his heart, but he couldn't speak directly.

Lin Yan suddenly realized: "So there are special words." He squeezed his chin, glanced at He Zhengxi, and his younger brother was also looking at him with blazing eyes. Lin Yan thought it was a good word, and praised it solemnly: "It's very good." image, thanks to the creator."

Lin Yan is an individual most of the time, and occasionally he is very interesting when he is dull, but he doesn't notice it.Sun Linlin secretly smiled and didn't say much.

The topic of "brother control" and "brother control" did not last long. Lin Yan had to recharge the meal card first. He followed Sun Linlin's instructions and put the card into the machine. After the "beep", the logistics master inside frowned and looked over, and said, "Student, you still have two hundred in it. Be careful if you lose it and someone steals it. You don't need to recharge it for now."

"Have money? I just got the card..."

Lin Yan took back the card in doubt and stuffed it into the card bag.He also wanted to ask the master how to check the card charging records, but there were still students queuing up behind him, so Lin Yan had to give up his seat first.

"Someone will help you recharge. This card cannot be transferred directly from the bank, but can only be recharged here." Sun Linlin said, and Lin Yan couldn't figure it out after hearing it.

"Who will recharge me with such a money." Lin Yan said to himself.

Lu Chi?Shen Han?The two of them should not get the card.Xu Jialin was still squatting in the bureau, it was even more impossible.

"Hey! Why do you think so much? Isn't it good to have money? You usually pick like something." Sun Linlin put his arm around Lin Yan's shoulder, and dragged He Zhengxi along the way, "Go to the next joint and visit the class About the dormitory, by the way, do you live on campus?"

Lin Yan shook his head: "Don't stop."

Sun Linlin tilted his head and glanced at He Zhengxi, "That's right, your brother is too young, you must be worried."

Lin Yan was afraid that He Zhengxi would think too much, so he immediately denied it: "No, you know my ears, and it's troublesome to live with others."

Sun Linlin was full of disbelief, and curled his lips and said, "You don't even affect your studies, who can bother you..."

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way carefully, and go to the teaching building first." Lin Yan twisted Sun Linlin's head, urging him to move forward.

He Zhengxi followed behind them, he could hear Sun Linlin's words clearly.Most of the time, he knew that he was the prerequisite that Lin Yan had to consider when making a choice.

Because I have a younger brother, I cannot live on campus.Because I have a younger brother, I have to go home quickly after school.Because I have a younger brother, I need to be more mature in life.Because there are younger brothers, we must learn to share.He Zhengxi knew that Lin Yan was actually very tired and had almost no free time.But he didn't want to be too far away from Lin Yan, he couldn't bear the fact that Lin Yan wasn't around, and he was going crazy just thinking about it.

Lin Yan is his only support, but he doesn't know if he is Lin Yan's only one.

Cai Hengyuan asked Lin Yan to take an entrance examination for a foreign university, saying that studying in Xicheng would be useless.He Zhengxi thought that Lin Yan would never be abandoned no matter what the circumstances, but he couldn't deny that Cai Hengyuan's words were also reasonable.

I hope that my brother will have his own future, but he is reluctant.

He Zhengxi scratched his appallingly short cropped hair, feeling that his brain capacity was too limited, so he simply didn't want to, and habitually began to observe his brother again.

Lin Yan, who was walking in front, had a handful of hair lifted up by the wind, swaying with the rhythm of walking, very soft and lovely.

He Zhengxi's heart suddenly thumped twice, and several small fireworks rose into the sky.

The author has something to say:

Ahhhh I misplaced the chapter... sorry!changed!
