Before the final exam, there is a New Year's Day party. Before the New Year's Day, the school leaders issued a notice not to allow the New Year's Day party, saying that the exam was about to be held, which would affect students' learning. However, this notice caused a lot of opposition. Under the joint requirements of several classes, the regulations were finally relaxed. First and second-year high school students can hold a New Year's Day party independently and spend an evening self-study time.

The head teacher of Class 2 came to speak with him, as generous as his name. In the last two classes in the afternoon, they arranged tasks and assigned them freely.

Whoever is responsible for buying snacks, who will take everyone to organize the tables in the classroom and create a space as a stage, and the class’s literary and artistic committee members are also planning to organize programs temporarily.

Even if there is only one evening study time and only one classroom as big as a space, this New Year's Day party is still exciting.

Chi Tang felt that the atmosphere of this New Year's Day party would be very good. Because it snowed again, the campus world was pure white. Not only their class, but the entire teaching building was so lively that it was boiling.

I don’t know which class it was, but I even brought a small speaker to the audience and played Master Yonetsu’s “len”, which I could hear upstairs and downstairs.

Chi Tang and You Yu were moving the tables and moving the tables to a window. You Yu was rarely able to put all the extracurricular exercises expansions of her test papers and exercise books, and she didn't race against time to study. She even took the initiative to ask Chi Tang: "Do you want to go up and sing later?"

"Not singing." Chi Tang answered without thinking. She was a person who didn't like group activities. She was involved in these evening parties. It was okay to sit on the side and watch it, but she was not happy to let her go on stage and always felt embarrassed.

You Yu was a little regretful. She had heard Chi Tang humming occasionally, and thought she hummed very well. If she sang it completely and seriously, it would have been better.

"Do you sing?" Chi Tang asked back.

You Yu shook his head: "I can't sing."

She was a little embarrassed because everyone could sing songs, but she couldn't sing them. There were also songs that could tell the origin of the songs when others heard them. It was the first time she heard them. There were so many things she had never touched.

It was getting dark outside, and the person who went to buy snacks came back. He carried large bags of small bags and divided the tables one by one. Someone laughed and clamored to give one extra cake and two more oranges. The sports committee member Hei Pi carried a big bag of oranges, like a wealthy slave. He would never give one more to others, and shouted: "No, no, I have calculated the number, and I won't get the extra score for the students in the future!"

Today they were a little noisy, and the teachers pretended that they didn't hear it, so they could take out their mobile phones and headphones openly. Chi Tang was listening to the song, watching the snow slowly becoming smaller outside the window.

Their table was moved to the corner, and Hei Pi was the last one to be distributed here. Chi Tang heard the rustling sound and saw Hei Pi picking oranges from the bag, and whispered: "You were the last one to be distributed, and there are two more oranges, so I'll give you one more."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran to divide other things with the bag. Chi Tang glanced at the orange he had produced, but there was no reaction. You Yu also subconsciously took a look at it. Chi Tang took the orange and handed it to her: "You want to give it to you."

You Yu shook his head: "No, I have one, enough."

It was at this most lively time, before the show started, everyone was walking around in the classroom, and a man suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a dark face that was blown by the wind and sun. He was wearing a thin cotton jacket that was not clean and worn with old green liberating cloth shoes covered with mud marks and water. He stood there in a dusty manner, out of place with this classroom. Looking at so many laughing students, the man was a little helpless, but he soon saw something, and his expression turned into fierceness and anger.

Chi Tang found his eyes beside him, and You Yu pursed his lips tightly, his face a little pale, and there was no longer the feeling of relaxation and a little happiness just now.

"You damn girl!" The man opened his mouth and said that he didn't know where he was. He strode in and rushed straight to this corner. He raised his hand and grabbed You Yu's hand, trying to pull her out with force.

Chi Tang almost subconsciously grabbed You Yu's arm. The loud sound of the desk being dragged and the abrupt situation made the noisy classroom quiet instantly, and everyone was watching here.

"What's wrong?"

"Who?"

"Is it You Yu's father?"

The man grabbed You Yu hard, not knowing what to scold, Chi Tang could only understand him and said, "Come out and go home with me, who told you to come here to study!"

You Yu held the desk and wanted to break away from his hand, "I won't go back, I'll be here to read." Her tone was still calm, but when facing this man, the tremor in her voice was also obvious.

"Ba" The man slapped her without hesitation.

"Go back with me!"

Chi Tang reacted, picked up the book and directly smashed the man in the arm, and scolded loudly: "Fuck, let you go!"

Her voice broke the silence in the classroom. Hei Pi and several other tall boys came over quickly, stopped You Yu and Chi Tang, and tried to separate the man, "Uncle, right? Talk well, what are you doing, how to hit someone!"

There was a lot of discussion in the classroom, and a few girls ran out quickly, probably to inform the teacher.

The man was stopped by several boys and shouted unhappily: "I am her father. If I ask her to go back, she will go back. She secretly ran here to study. She refused to go back for half a year. I took a car to find this place for a few days and wanted to take her back!"

"You students and children are in charge of other people's business, so you can avoid it!"

Several people pushed and shoved, and couldn't stop the man with great strength. Seeing that he pushed away the black skin and was about to hit You Yu again, Chi Tang suddenly kicked the table down, pulled You Yu up and ran outside.

"ah!"

"Oh, hit someone-"

It was already dark outside, and the corridor was full of classmates. Some heard the sounds and came to see the fun, while others were still confused and didn't know what was going on. Chi Tang pulled You Yu, passed through these people, and ran down the stairs. She ran very fast, rushing around, causing a scream.

You Yu didn't say anything, and let her pull her forward in a daze. She heard the classmates she knew and didn't know were shouting, and heard what her own father was scolding behind her, but she couldn't hear them.

It seemed that she had returned to that summer, when she was admitted to Nanlin No. 1 Middle School and returned home and said she wanted to continue her studies.

But her father said that she could get married at this age and would not allow her to continue studying.

She begged her father and told him that the school was willing to give her tuition and accommodation fees, and that there were teachers in junior high schools who were willing to give her two thousand yuan and would not spend the family's money, but her father still disagreed. He beat her and robbed her of the two thousand yuan, and refused to let her leave the house.

If she went to school, no one would do the family's affairs, no one would take care of her younger brother, and the family would have no money, so she could get a bride gift when she got married.

Her teacher said that she was very smart and would definitely have a bright future if she continued to study. She also wanted to go outside to see her, so she borrowed two hundred yuan from the teacher. She left home for the first time with an impulse, and drove around, and came to this strange city with tension and longing.

She thought that all difficulties could be overcome, as long as she was not afraid of hardship, she could continue to study and...

"The first time I saw you cry."

Chi Tang had already stopped, and she pulled You Yu to the back of the old teaching building of the school. It was very remote and there was a very small and very broken old pavilion.

She stopped and found that You Yu didn't make any sound, but her face was filled with tears.

Chi Tang had never seen You Yu cry. She was always silent, stubborn and serious, not caring about the exclusion targeting her, not caring about the rumors and harsh words, always doing her own things, not only studying, but also studying, just like if you don’t work hard for a day, you will fall into the abyss.

Chi Tang didn't know what to say, so he subconsciously inserted his hand into his pocket irritably.

She touched a round orange. The incident was too sudden just now, and the orange that was about to hand it to You Yu was stuffed into her pocket. She thought about it, took out the orange, peeled it, divided it into half, and gave it to You Yu.

“Eat oranges.”

You Yu's tears were still flowing silently. She took the orange but didn't move. After a while, she suddenly closed her eyes, raised her hand to wipe it, and stuffed the orange into her mouth.

On such a cold snowy night, the oranges in your mouth are very cold, but they are very sweet.
