Small Town Story 丨 Xu Yi's Parent-Teacher Conference

The autumn color of the small city is xiaoxiao, and the grass in front of Xu Yi's house is also shrugging its head, and after a spring and summer rain and dew and sunshine, it finally lowers its "proud head" before the arrival of the north wind.

It has been more than two months since the start of the autumn school, as in previous years, Xu Yi's mother did not return, and even the enrollment procedures were done by his uncle to take Xu Yi to the school. It doesn't matter, what is important is that the annual large parent-teacher conference is coming, why is it a "large" parent-teacher conference? Because the school stipulates that every student's parents must be present so that they can cooperate with the teacher in the next year's study and supervise the child's growth in all aspects.

Xu Yi is 14 years old this year, and he has not seen his biological father so far, and his mother has been working outside the home for many years, only at home. The grass in front of the house grew tall every year, and it was only completely degraded in the winter, but in the spring of the following year, the Xu family was still surrounded by grass.

The school parents' meeting in the small place is obviously a large "gossip" scene in the village. Grandma Wang at the head of the village lost a chicken last night and was crushed to death by the car of the village chief's son; the new daughter-in-law of the old Wu family who had just entered the door used to work at the night club, dressed in flowers every day, pleasing men; old Liu's son, who was the boss in the city, was ready to come back in two days, saying that he wanted to take old Liu into the city to enjoy happiness...

"Yiyi, is your mother back?" Aunt Li's eyes were sharp, she saw Xu Yi's small body, grabbed his arm, and asked enthusiastically. "No, I didn't come back." Xu Yi was a little confused, and he was annoyed that he had actually broken into this area. "Needless to say, it must have been her pussy that wouldn't let her go back." "Yiyi, have you seen your uncle?" "Call your uncle back to give you a parent-teacher conference, one by one." ”...... The gossip made Xu Yi's face gradually burn, and he didn't fully understand what they said, but he knew that there was an element of ridicule and sarcasm in it. Xu Yi struggled to break free and quickly ran away.

Leaving the "gossip" area, Xu Yi wandered around the school aimlessly, perhaps because he was used to such a scene, Xu Yi was completely unaffected by the influence just now. Born in the village, grown up in the village, in the future he will live in the village for many years, can not quarrel with the elders, until night falls, Xu Yi will slowly go home.

Oversleeping in the morning, being late for school, making trouble to attract the attention of teachers, and eager for praise from teachers and elders, Xu Yi has the common characteristics of left-behind children, and his special feature is that other children can look forward to the return of their parents, while Xu Yi's mother has remarried to another place to have children for others, and it is rare to come back to see him once in a few years.

After graduation next year, there will be no more parent-teacher conferences, and when the grass at the door grows 4 times and 4 times, he will turn 18 years old, Xu Yixin, then he will walk all over the motherland's great rivers and mountains to meet thousands of people. If he was lucky enough, perhaps in the vast sea of people, he could still meet a strange and familiar face. If he could really meet it, he should be able to recognize it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
