Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

"Teacher Dai?" I shouted in surprise. This person was none other than my junior high school science teacher. I hadn't seen her for many years and she seemed to have aged a bit.

Chapter 2: Acquaintances ()

"Come, come, come here and let Teacher Dai see what Xiaomeng looks like now." Teacher Dai was a little excited.

"Teacher, why are you here?" I was both surprised and confused.

"My daughter came home and told me that she had interviewed a very pretty girl, but she was a little silly." Teacher Dai pulled her aside and sat down, jokingly saying, "I once taught a very pretty girl, especially her eyes, which flickered as if they could speak. When she stared at you seriously, they were as bright as the starry sky at night."

"Teacher Dai, what you said made me blush..."

"My daughter said so, right? The one who came for the interview today was also so! His name is Li Xiaomeng... When I heard that, I thought, what a coincidence, isn’t he my student?" Teacher Dai laughed.

"Mom!" At this time, the female interviewer from yesterday came in with three cups of green tea. "This is against the rules! You insisted on coming even though you were not allowed to."

"Where did you violate the rules? Li Xiaomeng is my student, so I naturally have the right to take care of her. Besides, if Lao Chen dares to disobey me, I will make her kneel on the washboard when she gets home." Teacher Dai's angry look made people feel that she was a lot younger, and she looked like a young girl who was angry.

"Can you please give my dad some face?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my daughter Chen Jiahui, who just passed the civil service exam last year. Old Chen is my husband, the child's father, and the director of the Education Bureau." Teacher Dai introduced, "Her father didn't want her to take the civil service exam, but she insisted on taking it, and unexpectedly she passed."

Chen Jiahui said unhappily, "Well, you've got someone here, just say whatever you want to say, don't waste their time."

"Okay...Xiaomeng, can you listen to the teacher's advice? It's better not to go." Teacher Dai held my hand and said earnestly.

I was stunned. I didn't expect that Teacher Dai was here to persuade me not to go.

"Why?" I was puzzled.

"This..." Teacher Dai was embarrassed. "It's hard to explain, but Teacher Dai won't lie to you. When I heard my daughter strongly recommend you to go yesterday, I was scared. I said I had to persuade her to come no matter what."

"Yes, your teacher Dai doesn't want you to go. But I can't help it. I can't send you a text message today to tell you that you don't qualify, right?" Chen Jiahui said to me awkwardly and helplessly, "So I made a trade-off. If your teacher Dai can dissuade you from going, then it's considered a voluntary giving up. We won't say much."

"Silly child, why don't you do something else during the holidays? Why do you have to go to teach? Well, one of my former students started a company in hz, and it has already gone public. How about I introduce you to the company for an internship?" Teacher Dai continued to persuade.

"Teacher Dai, can you tell me why?" Although I knew she would not harm me, I still felt unwilling to give up.

"It's not suitable for a girl like you to teach, especially alone." Teacher Dai held my hand with increasing force, and I seemed to see her fear and terror.

"Mom!" Chen Jiahui handed her the water and asked her to drink a few sips to calm down.

"I'm fine..." She waved her hands. "When I was young, I had a very good friend. She was smart and beautiful like you, and she also liked to be a teacher. When she was teaching in our countryside, she went out one night and never came back. It wasn't until the next morning that I realized something was wrong and called the police. Her body was found a few days later."

"Mom!!" Chen Jiahui tried to stop Teacher Dai from speaking further.

"Li Xiaomeng, Teacher Dai is worried about you going alone. If anything happens to you, I will never forgive myself for not trying to dissuade you." Teacher Dai frowned and spoke to me in an almost pleading tone.

"Teacher Dai, I'm sorry to hear this story. But I'm not afraid of this danger. I will be careful about my activities at night and try not to leave the school classroom and dormitory." I thought it was something else.

"Li Xiaomeng!" Teacher Dai said more seriously, "I'm not exaggerating. Do you know how much humiliation my friend suffered before she died? The criminals raped her and killed her. When they found her body, she didn't even have her clothes on. In remote places, there are inevitably many bad people who ignore and don't understand the law. They don't care who you are. Their education level is too low!"

"That's why I have to go..." I held the shaking hand of Teacher Dai, "It is precisely because they did not receive a good education and correct guidance that such a tragedy happened. If there are no teachers to teach them, it will only be a vicious cycle."

"It's okay, Teacher Dai. Besides, I read the introduction to the teaching content this time. Aren't there a total of four people going? I just need to build good relationships with them and take care of each other." I comforted him again.

"Alas..." Seeing that I was determined to go, Teacher Dai sighed and shook his head, "I can't persuade you after all."

"What do you think? Mom, I was right, wasn't I? I said she would definitely insist on going." Chen Jiahui laughed at the side, "Young people nowadays are not afraid of these things. What's more, what you said is all old news."

"I'm just worried. I might have nightmares at night."

"Teacher Dai, it's okay. I will report the situation to my family at any time. I am much smarter than you see. I have ways to deal with bad guys." Although I said this, I still felt a little ashamed when I thought about the previous times I was in danger. But as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. I have encountered this three times, and it will definitely not happen for the fourth time.

"Then it seems that I am being overly sentimental." Teacher Dai seemed relieved and said, "But Teacher Dai came to see you today because I have something else to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

"Do you still remember being bullied in junior high school?" asked Teacher Dai.

"Yeah, I remember, but I can't remember it clearly. It feels like a long time ago." I scratched my head.

"In fact, the kid came to see me later. He knew that he had done a lot of things that were not worthy of you, and wanted to contact me so that you could forgive him. But after graduation, I no longer have your contact information."

"Forget it, it's okay." I shook my head, not wanting to recall too much about that time. "Let the past be the past. I can't remember it, and there's no such thing as an apology."

"You kid, do you still hold a grudge against what happened back then?"

I frowned slightly, but said helplessly: "What's the point of apologizing? He just wants to make himself feel better, but the pain I'm suffering can't be erased so easily. If he really wants to apologize, why not wait until the next class reunion and tell me in front of everyone."

Chapter 1 On the Road ()

A few days later, the official departure day arrived. Tang Xin sent me to the gathering point and held me tightly, refusing to let go.

"Okay, so many people are watching here." I patted her back gently to get her to put me down.

"No, let me smell you again." She refused to let go.

"Okay, okay, I'll be back in twenty days. I promise you I'll be back in August!"

"Yeah." She finally let go of his hand with satisfaction, "Check everything. Didn't you leave it in my car?"

I touched my pocket, checked my phone wallet, and nodded.

I pointed to the suitcase next to me and said, "I've brought everything. There's also this big suitcase."

"Okay, be careful on your journey." Although her eyes were full of reluctance, she still smiled and waved to me.

……

Pulling the suitcase, I arrived at the business car waiting at the entrance of the Education Bureau. The electric door slowly opened, and Chen Jiahui took my suitcase into the car before I could react.

"Oh, Sister Chen!" I was a little surprised, "Why are you here too?"

"What do you think? It's because my mom is worried about you that she wants me to replace you as the team leader!" Chen Jiahui sighed, "Why do I feel like you are more like my mom's biological daughter?"

“No way…” My face turned red. Isn’t Teacher Dai too caring towards me?

But then I thought, "Sister Chen, you are also a girl. Is Teacher Dai so confident that you can go with us?"

"Hahaha!" Sister Chen also laughed out loud when she heard this, "Do you know why my dad doesn't allow me to take the civil service exam?"

I shook my head.

"Because of you, Sister Chen, I graduated from the police academy, and I always wanted to be a police officer. But my father would not let me, and finally compromised and let me take the exam for the Education Bureau."

"I see. But don't police academies usually guarantee job placement?"

"Yeah, our class just didn't have any assignments, which made my dad happy." Sister Chen curled her lips, looking a little unhappy. Then she pinched my face again: "So, don't underestimate your sister Chen! Back in the police academy, I was able to fight with the boys on equal terms, and my physical fitness test scores were also better than the average of the boys."

I looked Sister Chen up and down. Indeed, I didn't notice it when I saw her in uniform before, but now in her casual shorts, the strong muscles in her arms alone are beyond my reach.

"I'm strong, right?" Sister Chen showed off her biceps. It was hard to imagine that a girl with a gentle appearance would make such a manly move.

"Ah, Sister Chen, don't you wear glasses?" I suddenly remembered, why don't I wear them now?

"It's just plain glasses. At work, I look too fierce without them, so no boys like me." Sister Chen scratched her head embarrassedly, "Because I'm too boyish, I've never had a boyfriend."

"It seems so. Sister Chen looks more gentle with glasses. But I also like Sister Chen without glasses. She looks very heroic." This sentence doesn't have any special meaning. I do think that women who look very heroic are really cool. Can I become this type?

"Hahahaha!" Hearing my compliment, Sister Chen laughed even louder, "Oh, this child speaks so sweetly, no wonder my mother likes him."

As they were talking and laughing, two people carrying suitcases came out of the car, a man and a woman, and walked up to them one after the other.

Sister Chen took a look and opened the electric door: "Are you here? Wu Xinghui and Fu Le."

"Oh, yes." The boy named Wu Xinghui nodded cheerfully. His voice was a little rough but full of energy.

"Sister Chen, I'm sorry, we're late." Fu Le's appearance is quite ordinary, except for the beautiful lines of her cherry mouth. She touched her head to express her embarrassment, and seemed to be a little concerned about being late.

"Get in the car. It's just the three of you this time. Li Xiaomeng has arrived early. The one sitting behind me is her."

"Hello!" I was a little nervous facing strangers, but because we would be together helping each other for the next half month, I still tried my best to muster up the courage to smile at them.

"Wow, what a cute girl." Fu Le said as he got into the car and sat next to me. "Are you going to teach with us too?"

"Ah... um!" Faced with the sudden enthusiasm, I was a little overwhelmed. This guy seemed to be more familiar than Tang Xin.

"The guy behind me is my boyfriend, Wu Xinghui, and he's also my partner in teaching." She said as she glanced at the man who was grunting as he helped her carry her luggage onto the bus.

"Um…"

"If you have any problems in the future, just bother us directly. You look so young. How old are you?"

"Ten... a little less than nineteen." Although I wanted to lie and say I was twenty, firstly, Sister Chen in front of me knew my actual age, and secondly, no matter how I looked at it, I was definitely not in my twenties.

"So young?" She was still shocked after knowing my real age. "Freshman?"

"Um…"

"It's the first time I meet a freshman." She said with some emotion.

"Look, he already has this awareness in his freshman year." Wu Xinghui added.

"You seem to be saying that I didn't have this awareness when I was a freshman, right?" Fu Le's face changed and he turned to stare at him.

He quickly begged for mercy: "Sister, I don't mean that, please continue."

Seeing him begging for mercy, I burst out laughing. What does it mean to be dominated by your wife?

"Your boyfriend seems to treat you very well?" I laughed and expressed my sympathy for my buddy.

Fu Le blushed, but did not deny it: "Yeah, it's just too indecent."

"Okay, girls and boys, fasten your seat belts. We are about to set off." Sister Chen turned around and clapped her hands.

So this unknown and arduous journey officially began.

We drove west along the G25xx highway for more than four hours. I opened the dark blue sunshade curtains, and the view outside the window had changed from a city forest with tall buildings to a natural landscape surrounded by mountains. The green scenery instantly swept away the fatigue of the car ride.

"We'll be at the county town soon." The driver, a man in his forties, cleared his throat and said.

"So soon?" Sister Chen stretched and looked like she was sleeping soundly.

But Wu Xinghui and Fu Le on the side were not feeling so well. They both looked exhausted.

"Ha, didn't you sleep?" Sister Chen turned around and looked at us, finding it a little funny.

"Yeah, I'm a little carsick." Fu Le seemed to be not good at riding in a car, and his face was a little pale.

Wu Xinghui supported her and his expression was the same as hers. It seemed that both of them didn't know how to ride a car.

"Well, why don't we get off and rest for a while? It's time to have lunch now." The driver suggested.

This suggestion was unanimously approved, and we arrived at a roadside stir-fry restaurant as we wished after getting off the highway.
