Five years later.
High school physical education class.
Jiang Anan was sitting in the basketball stands holding a book, and occasionally raised her head to look at the students on the playground who were being asked by the teacher to run 800 meters.
As a "special student" in her class, she was allowed to skip physical education classes.
The injury five years ago caused permanent damage to her ears. Although Jiang Zhenguo and Wu Jiahui took her to see the best doctors at home and abroad, she still could not recover.
She later received a cochlear implant.
After five years of rehabilitation training, her hearing has recovered to 80% to 90%, but her speech is a little slower than normal.
Hearing the whistle sound on the playground, Jiang Anan closed his book, took a bag of water next to him, stood up and walked to the playground.
Before they could reach the main group, several classmates trotted over.
"Oh, you don't have to come here, you still have to carry such a heavy weight." Zhang Xiyuan at the front desk was the first one to run over and take the water from her hand.
Jiang Anan smiled at her: "It's okay, it's only a few steps away."
Chen Yu came over and pinched her face: "Look, our little sloth's face is all red from the sun."
Zhang Xiyuan gave the water in his hand to the others. Hearing Chen Yu's words, he coughed twice as a reminder.
Jiang Anan knew that she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable because Chen Yu teased her for talking like a sloth. So he took the initiative and said, "It's okay."
She knew that Chen Yu had no ill intentions towards her.
Since she was injured, she has not been to school for five years. She has been doing rehabilitation training non-stop. In junior high school, she hired a tutor for one-on-one tutoring.
It wasn't until this year that Wu Jiahui felt comfortable letting her go to high school.
Chen Yu and Zhang Xiyuan are her two best friends since high school.
Chen Yu pinched her face again: "Why is our little An'an so cute? This little round face is so red that it looks like an apple."
Not long after, the get out of class bell rang. As soon as they returned to the classroom, they heard the monitor say that the class teacher asked Jiang Anan to go to the office.
"Report." After Jiang Anan shouted, she looked into the office and saw the head teacher, Lao Xiao, waving to her.
Lao Xiao likes Jiang An'an very much. Not to mention that she is a "special student" who has been specially instructed by the principal to take more care of her. The little girl has a round face, a well-behaved personality, and her grades are in the upper-middle range, which makes her very worry-free.
"That's it, classmate An An. The school will organize an autumn study tour for high school freshmen early next month, lasting three days and four nights."
Lao Xiao took a sip of tea and continued: "Considering your special situation, you need to communicate with your parents whether you can participate."
Jiang Anan nodded and took the notice given to her by the head teacher.
At this time, I heard a female teacher from the other side of the office say in a rude tone: "I won't participate again! Jiang Yan, you haven't participated in any activities this semester. Even your parents didn't come to the parent-teacher meeting for the mid-term exam. You No matter how good your grades are, you can’t be so unsocial.”
The boy who was scolded had a slender figure and was wearing a high school blue and white sports uniform. A pair of white shoes were very clean, but he could tell they were old shoes.
The young man listened to the teacher's scolding with neither humility nor arrogance, looking at the kapok tree outside the window opposite.
Lao Xiao frowned when he heard this, and said to Jiang An'an, who was also watching: "Okay, if you have any questions, I'll ask the teacher later. Go back and prepare for class first."
"Okay, goodbye teacher."
Before Jiang Anan walked out of the office, she heard the teacher's stern tone again: "If you can't afford this school, just don't take it!"
Later, I heard the voice of my head teacher: "Teacher Zhou, what you said is serious."
Walking a little further, Jiang Anan could no longer hear the movement in the office.
She remembers that boy. So far in the first semester of his freshman year of high school, Jiang Yan has always been number one regardless of whether he takes the exam or not.
The first time she noticed this boy was at the end of military training at the beginning of school.
Because of her physical condition, she was allowed not to participate in military training, so she waited until formal classes began before going to school.
On the first day of school, the principal personally picked them up at the school gate.
At that time, she was walking on campus with Wu Jiahui. When passing by the office, she saw a boy who was more than a head taller than her, standing upright and accepting the teacher's unkind words:
"Jiang Yan, although you came in with the first grade in junior high school and the school gave you half the tuition, but you have to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees and the other half of the tuition on time, right?" A middle-aged teacher in his forties He spoke without any politeness.
"If you don't hand it in tomorrow, ask your parents to come over. If you can't afford it, then quit it as soon as possible!"
Jiang Anan saw that the young man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, then closed it again, turned around and left.
When he passed by her, she clearly saw the boy's clenched fists.
Because she was seriously injured in an accident before, Wu Jiahui has been committed to charity since then, just to pray for her children.
In her previous life, Jiang Anan was a left-behind child in the village. Her parents worked outside and lived with her grandparents. They were all patriarchal, so she didn't go to school for long.
Later, when I was fifteen years old, I took a bus to the city to work, but there was a car accident on the road and I died.
She understands the importance of studying.
So later she told Wu Jiahui her feelings on the first day of school. It was too difficult for poor students to go to school well.
Wu Jiahui, who has always been supporting poor students, donated money to No. 1 Middle School and established a foundation to reduce the tuition fees of top students whose families are really poor.
In addition, those who rank first in grade three times in a row in both major and minor exams will receive a scholarship of RMB 10,000.
Since the scholarship was established this semester, Jiang Yan has been ranked first. It stands to reason that there are less than 20,000 to 30,000 students.
Jiang Anan frowned. It seemed that this classmate's situation was not an ordinary difficulty.
After returning to the classroom, Zhang Xiyuan lay on her desk and asked the head teacher why he wanted to see her.
After giving the notice to Zhang Xiyuan, Jiang Anan picked up the water glass on the table and drank some water. When he looked outside, he happened to see Jiang Yan walking over.
The boy's profile is undoubtedly good-looking. In Chen Yu's words, it is impeccable.
"An'an, are you going to go on an autumn outing?" Zhang Xiyuan pointed to the notice in his hand.
Jiang Anan shook her head: "I have to go back and discuss this with my mother."
Qiu You is said to be going to the wild, and the unknown risks are relatively high, so Wu Jiahui may not agree to her going.
At this time, Chen Yu walked in from the back door of the class and asked them if they wanted to go to the newly opened milk tea shop near the school after school.
Jiang Anan remembered what Wu Jiahui told her in the morning that Jiang Zhenhua would take them out for dinner tonight, so she could only decline her friend's invitation apologetically.
"Okay, Xixi and I will check out some places today. If it tastes good, we can go together next time."
"Yeah! I'll bring you shrimp dumplings to eat tomorrow morning." Jiang An'an had brought shrimp dumplings made by Aunt Lin once before, and they all liked them very much.
Zhang Xiyuan's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Wow! Then I will come to school directly without breakfast tomorrow morning!"
"Then I'll bring more."
The three of them talked for a while, and then they went to class quietly until the teacher came in.
