The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 179 No broken promise

The boy looked at Ruyi in front of him, smiled, raised his hand and pointed to a teaching building in the distance.

Ruyi didn't have time to think too much. After saying thank you, she ran towards the teaching building. After running two steps, she turned around and asked the boy, "What's your name, classmate?"

The boy still had that sunny and cheerful smile: "My last name is Du!"

The love a girl has when she is young is pure without any impurities. Just because of that little canine tooth in the sun, Ruyi remembered this boy named Du.

When Ruyi arrived at the classroom, a middle-aged female teacher was introducing herself in a boastful manner. She stood awkwardly at the door of the classroom and shouted "Report", and then everyone in the class looked at Ruyi.

"Come in, you are Zhong Ruotong, right?" The female teacher looked at Ruyi and smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, teacher. My home is far away and I didn't plan my time well." Ruyi said, lowering her head and shrugged her shoulders.

"Go sit over there." The teacher pointed to an empty seat in the front row, and Ruyi walked over obediently.

After Ruyi's high school life began, Darong's life also became much easier.

At that time, the country started a large-scale education rectification campaign, strictly prohibiting the phenomenon of random charges on campus. Finally, no one dared to collect the numerous miscellaneous fees that Ruyi had paid in junior high school.

"When Ruyi goes to college, you should stop working as a forklift truck driver and try something easier. It's too tiring."

Darong was washing Zhong Yunxing's clothes that were stained with oil, and she murmured to herself with heartache.

What Zhong Yunxing bought at the beginning was an old Dongfanghong excavator. It was originally a second-hand car, and the performance of the car had long been poor. Every time he went to the repair shop, two shifts of work would be wasted, so over the years, Zhong Yunxing had to make do with repairs on his own.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of the automobile manufacturing industry and the popularization of new forklifts, the old tracked vehicles are gradually being replaced. If it were not for Zhong Yunhong's cadre position, I am afraid that Zhong Yunxing might not be able to have a stable car rental cooperation.

"Yeah, that's what I plan to do. I'll quit after I save up enough money for Ruyi to go to college."

Zhong Yunxing was not afraid of hard work, but his old excavator was no longer able to do any work. Although he had made many friends over the years, he could not always rely on favors to find work.

"I just don't know if it's easy to find a job at my age." Zhong Yunxing sighed helplessly after saying this.

When Zhong Yunxing was first laid off, he was young and strong, but there were few private enterprises and no labor market. After years of development, the labor market has opened up, but Zhong Yunxing is already middle-aged and is no longer in the group with advantages for admission.

Today is Darong's day off. After dinner in the evening, the four brothers visited Darong's home, which was rare.

"Why didn't you call before you came? What if he's not at home? It would be a wasted trip."

When Darong opened the door and saw that it was Sibeier, she was somewhat surprised.

"I just happened to finish my meal nearby and came straight over here. Sister, brother-in-law, here's the money."

Sibei was obviously drunk again. As he spoke, he took out a stack of money wrapped in newspaper from his bag.

"Have you drunk too much?" Darong looked at Sibei in front of her, who didn't seem to be drunk.

"No, I just drank a little. This is the money you lent me two years ago. Now all the money from outsiders has been paid off, and the only thing left is the money from our family."

Sibeier kept his word and did what he promised to Darong's mother. He and Xiao Ling worked hard over the past few years and really paid off all their foreign debts. They also started to repay their brothers and sisters.

"You should pay them back first. My sister doesn't need the money now."

"I have really paid back all the money owed to outsiders. I will give you and Xiaoying's money this year. Our parents have a lot of money. I will take my time and everything will get better little by little."

Sibei is actually a very down-to-earth person, and he doesn't have any qualities of a dishonest businessman. Xiao Ling's calculating nature just makes up for his shortcomings.

In fact, the business income of the two people has long exceeded that of an ordinary family. If it weren't for that fraud, Sibei'er and Xiaoling's life today would have been the envy of others.

After seeing off Sibei'er, Darong felt much more relieved. Sibei'er's life returned to normal, and Darong's father and mother could live a more stable and secure life.

Ever since Ruyi entered high school, he has to go out early every morning to take the bus to attend morning self-study. It was okay at first, but when winter came, getting up became an extremely difficult thing.

"Why are you coming down so late again? It's over, it's over. You're late again." Song Jinyu stood at the entrance of the staircase and looked at Ruyi with her eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"Hehe, who told you to wait for me? Anyway, Aunt Xiangxiang won't let me stand in the corner as punishment, so I'm not in a hurry." Ruyi said to Song Jinyu with a smirk on her face.

Song Jinyu and Ruyi are not in the same class. Ruyi's homeroom teacher is a history teacher. Because she is usually kind to students and her name contains the word "Xiang", the students privately call her Aunt Xiangxiang.

However, because Song Jinyu entered the high school based on her sports expertise, the homeroom teacher of this group of sports students was a very strict grade leader. The students privately called her Big-eyed Donkey.

It’s not that students don’t love their teachers, it’s mainly because our big-eyed donkey is really disrespectful to students.

Her glasses were always hanging on the wings of her nose. When she talked to people, she always held her head high and looked at them with drooping eyelids.

Not only did the students dislike him, even few teachers in the grade were willing to talk to her.

"Oh, it's over. Big-eyed donkey will definitely make me stand there until noon."

Song Jinyu hung her head and followed Ruyi listlessly towards the bus stop.

"I told you not to come to see me, why do you come here every day? Aren't you tired?"

Song Jinyu's home is not close to Ruyi's. In order to go to school with Ruyi, Song Jinyu would jog to Ruyi's community twenty minutes early every day to wait for her, calling it morning exercise. In fact, Ruyi knew that he was still determined to do something evil.

"I'm protecting you. Look at how late it is and it's not even dawn yet. It's so dangerous." Song Jinyu said nonsense in a serious tone.

Ruyi glanced at the busy street and gave Song Jinyu a speechless look.

"Hey, what grade is that little tiger-toothed boy in? He's not wearing a school uniform, so I thought he was a freshman, but I've been around all the classes and haven't seen him. That's weird. Could he have graduated from high school?"

"Zhong Ruotong, are you going too far? It makes me feel so cold!" Song Jinyu covered her chest with her hands, looking heartbroken.

"cut!"

Ruyi glanced at Song Jinyu, snorted and laughed, then got on the bus that had just stopped.
