Back to the third grade

Chapter 12

When Lin Mei didn't know, a rumor about her spread quietly in the class.

Like overnight.

Lin Mei will find it very easy.She had just entered class in the morning, and Qian Liang, a student on duty, was cleaning the blackboard with a mop.

The way the class wipes the blackboard has always been so cool.After the mop is wet, wipe it on the blackboard, it will make the blackboard look particularly clean.

It is also very convenient and hassle-free.

Qian Liang was wiping the blackboard back and forth with the dripping mop, causing the sewage to fly everywhere, but as soon as Lin Mei came in, he immediately took the mop down.

Lin Mei had always paid attention to dodging the splashing water droplets, but she was stunned seeing him like this.

Qian Liang gestured "please" to invite her to go first.

Lin Mei nodded to him to express his gratitude.

A heroic male student who was pushing three mops to mop the floor whistled, and gave Qian Liang a look at Qian Liang who was on the podium with his jaw raised.

Qian Liang said one word coldly and angrily: "Get out!!!"

Then it was very boring to observe the gaps between her memorizing the papers, and found that the boys were very tacit to make fun of Qian Liang and her.Usually they use her to make fun of Qian Liang.However, due to the natural barriers between boys and girls, only a few girls discovered this "scandal".

A week later, Zhu Hai whispered to her, "They said Qian Liang likes you."

It seems that the rumors have spread to the girls.

This has no effect on Lin Mei.

Then Teacher Zheng came out and yelled for 5 minutes during a morning self-study: "Some people don't study hard! They even harass those students who study hard! Are you ashamed! Don't you feel guilty! Other people's lives are ruined by you It's over! Now is such an important moment! Some students seize the opportunity to catch up! Some students are still doing nothing! They talk to others in class all day long! They don't write their homework seriously! They don't take their books seriously! If this continues Not only will your own life be over! It will also implicate others!!"

Although there was no roll call from the beginning to the end, Lin Mei felt that Teacher Zheng was quite protective of the students' face, but people with a guilty conscience had the illusion that "this is talking about themselves".Qian Liang just lay on his elbows and buried his face.

Lin Mei felt somewhat sympathetic, and also had a sense of guilt of "Boren and I".

And the excitement of being "loved" by Teacher Zheng!

On Friday afternoon, Teacher Zheng suddenly adjusted his seat again, moving Qian Liang two rows back.Now, the people in the class understood that it was because of this.Although Teacher Zheng deliberately transferred Qian Liang away after a few days, the couple Lin Mei and Qian Liang were vaguely stamped as "puppy love".

After Lin Mei was "loved early", Teacher Zheng specially called her to the office, asked her to sit on a stool beside her, and chatted with her gently.

"You've been working hard lately, so keep it up. I heard from your mother that you study at twelve o'clock every night? It's not good. Pay attention to your body, and be careful not to damage your eyes. Don't push yourself too hard. Take your time, there are still half a year before the senior high school entrance examination, with your current level, have you ever thought about what school to take the exam?"

"I want to get provincial six." Lin Mei said.

"Province six..." Mr. Zheng frowned and thought for a while, "It's a little bit too much for your level, but the senior high school in No. 31 Middle School is not bad. If you want to pass the exam, you really have to hurry up. There are other things Partial subjects, I heard that you only scored [-] points in the last political test, which is a bit bad."

Only 31 points in the test is just "a bit bad". Lin Mei has never heard such gentle words from the teacher, and she was moved inexplicably for a while.

She understood that Teacher Zheng was afraid of hurting her confidence, so she spoke very, very gently.

"Work harder next time, and your grades can improve slowly." Teacher Zheng said, "I'll find some test papers and tutorial books for you later, take a look, I remember I have materials for saving six."

Lin Mei said in surprise, "Thank you teacher!"

Teacher Zheng laughed all of a sudden, patted her and said, "I'm happy that you guys have studied well. Okay, let's go back. Don't take those words in class to heart."

After being gently comforted by Teacher Zheng, Lin Mei's chest was filled with burning warmth, and she entered the class with a smile on her face.Both Zhu Hai and Zhou Yu came over and asked her worriedly, "Ms. Zheng didn't scold you, did she?"

Lin Mei couldn't hold back the smile on her face, she shook her head: "No, no." Hehehehe
Feiyang's mood lasted until he saw the gloomy Qian Liang.

Qian Liang was originally short, but for some reason, all the boys in the class started to grow taller, but Qian Liang didn't seem to grow much. Even when he was arranging seats, almost all the boys in the class were stationed in the last four rows, and he was the only one who still squeezed. In the first four rows occupied by girls.

After seeing Qian's mother, Lin Mei guessed that it might be maternal inheritance.

Now Qian Liang, who was already short and not very popular among boys, suddenly became darker.The boys still tease him, but he doesn't seem to have the guts to refute it like he used to.

Lin Mei felt that this was nothing at first.But what seems to be nothing has become a thing between the accidents.Both she and Qian Liang were unlucky people who were implicated.The problem is that she doesn't care about the whispers among the girls, and it's not a big deal to go to the toilet by herself after class.

But Qian Liang is a genuine child, different from her over-age child.

Lin Mei began to worry that Qian Liang would not recover because of this incident, and his life would go downhill completely...

She felt that she was thinking too seriously, but she still couldn't help thinking that she was also partly responsible for it.So she hesitated for several days, and sorted out a few test papers, do you want to secretly let Mama Lin send it to Mama Qian?The school won't know about it through Mama Lin's words, so it's just for peace of mind?

She thought and thought, and before she could hesitate whether sending the test papers was a good deed or she was a cheap hand looking for trouble to make the situation worse, the weekly physical education class came.

In this physical education class, Teacher Ma has long said that there will be a football match!It just so happened that their class and class one's physical education class collided, so let's just play a game.

The girls went to practice shooting while playing basketball.

The basketball court is on the edge of the playground, separated from the football field by the long-distance running track.The runway surrounds the entire football field, with goals on both sides.The net is newly replaced. Compared with the goalposts whose white paint is almost peeling off, the brand-new snow-white style of the game is a bit incompatible.

Compared with the net, the rough weeds and small pits in the court are also one of the characteristics.

Lin Mei was surprised to find that the football team ratio in the class was quite professional.

The coach is of course Teacher Ma, and he and another physical education teacher are also part-time referees.Then two more people from each class will serve as line judges.

In addition to the eleven players who officially played, there are also alternate players standing outside the court.

There was also a friendly handshake before the two teams entered the field.

Lin Mei glanced at the players, seeing them briskly entering the field and running to her position, and then she saw Qian Liang standing in front of the goal and acting as a goalkeeper!

She vaguely remembered that the goalkeeper was Gao Yuan, the tallest boy in the class.

Turning his head again, he found that Gao Yuan was standing as a winger.

After a sharp whistle, Mr. Ma threw the ball out.In order to prevent injuries from heading the ball, they adopted the method of kicking on both sides after throwing the ball.

A group of boys suddenly huddled together, tripping the enemy team's players when they couldn't kick the ball!Teacher Ma ran away from the field three times in a row.The football bounced lightly and bounced towards the side field. The boys from both teams shouted: "Kick it! Kick it!"

A small boy from the opposing team stepped forward and kicked the ball out of bounds.

The people on both sides shouted again: "Don't touch it! No one is allowed to touch it! The line judges go pick it up!"

The four line referees had already come running over, and then they argued for 5 minutes over who should get the ball, and finally wanted to ask Mr. Ma to come over and kick off the ball again.

Teacher Ma thanked Bumin, and then the PE teacher from another class came to kick off.

This time the ball wasn't saved out of bounds, it rolled nicely into midfield and the game was finally officially underway between the two sides!

The girls have long stopped shooting, and they all stand by the side of the football field to cheer for their class.Lin Mei heard a girl in the same class say: "Just now that teacher deliberately threw the ball towards their class!"

Because the opposing team got the ball after the kickoff just now.

"that is!"

"Our Teacher Ma won't do this!"

Teacher Ma was smiling, and some of the girls asked, "Mr. Ma, you are not against our class team. The physical education teacher in their class deliberately helped them cheat."

"Friendship first, competition second." Teacher Ma said seriously.

The game was lively and lively, and it was only the first half.The two teams agreed to finish the second half of the next physical education class.I also went to talk to my physical education teacher.

Teacher Ma nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you play next time!"

The score is not too tragic, after all, the game has not yet finished.At the end of the first half, Class [-] and Class [-] each scored four goals for each other.

As a goalkeeper, Qian Liang was patted on the head and patted on the shoulder by the boys one by one and rode on him. They all praised him for not being a bad defender, and he was not forced by the opponent.The boys brought Qian Liang to discuss the football match just now

During the self-study class, taking advantage of Teacher Zheng's absence, the boys secretly watched the tactics seminar at the back of the classroom, but Zheng Kai pretended not to see it.Mei Lu winked at Zheng Kai a few times and asked him to take care of her in a low voice, but Zheng Kai winked and shook his head, telling her not to worry about it.

Two days later, when Lin Mei was handing in her homework, she saw Qian Liang's tactical plan carefully written in the homework book: They planned to introduce foreign aid.

Qian Liang has been cured by the boys.Although he can no longer be the goalkeeper in the next game, Gao Yuan was willing to step aside last time because of Qian Liang's "broken love". Well done.

Qian Liang was not running fast, and the boys decided to let him be the team's assistant coach after discussion.

The third class established its own football team, the class team.Determined to compete with every class.Of course, physical education is not enough, they plan to take advantage of the rest time.Zheng Kai said that he would ask if he could enter the school on Saturdays and Sundays to borrow the playground.

Teacher Zheng was surprisingly supportive of the fact that the boys were "doing nothing" to form a football team at this time. She smiled and said to the class: "You should pay attention to the style of the game. Just don't lose and fight with other classes."

The boys screamed, "Teacher, don't worry! If we lose, we will win back on the court!"

Teacher Zheng also suggested that the girls also form a volleyball team, a table tennis team, etc. to practice sports. "Sports also have points. If you fail, you will not be allowed to take the high school entrance examination. Boys play football, you girls are too quiet gone."

Teacher Zheng is very sorry that the girls don't like sports, and is worried that their sports scores will be lowered in the end.

Before the Linmei Games, I still insisted on practicing shot put. Now the shot put is put away after the sports meeting. Although Mr. Ma said that if he wants to practice, he can go to him to get the key, but after class, there is only a short time to go to him to get the key and hold the shot put. It would be too troublesome to send it back before class.

So she has not exercised for a long time.

At this time, Teacher Zheng said that Lin Mei remembered that she used to dance on the dance mat for half an hour every day, but now there is no blanket, but she can still dance.I decided to find out the tape recorder when I got home, buy two more fast-paced dance music tapes, and dance along.

Regarding pop music, of course there is no Girls’ Generation right now.Lin Mei went to ask Zhu Hai, and Zhu Hai said, "Little Tigers? But now the Little Tigers have been disbanded for a few years. I don't know if their tapes were easy to find."

Zhou Jie suggested a possible candidate: "How about Michael Jackson's songs? I remember his songs are very fast. But did your mother let you listen to it?"

Lin Mei said that she planned to dance for half an hour every day.Zhou Jie's eyes were as brave as if she was going to be scolded to death by Lin's mother.

"Your mother will let it?" Zhou Yan almost persuaded her not to dream.

"No problem, my mother doesn't care." Lin Mei said, "My mother might dance with me."

Zhou Yu stopped talking, sighed deeply for a long time, and said, "Your mother is so kind..."

Ever since she found out that her parents conspired to manipulate her life and send her to the United States, Zhou Jie has developed a habit of sighing, and sometimes it is easy to feel sad.

The two agreed that during the weekend, Zhou Jin took Lin Mei to buy Jackson's tapes.

Of course it is genuine.

Zhou Jie reminded: "Jackson's tapes are very expensive. There is only one store here that sells them. I will take you there. They also have a lot of genuine original VCDs. If you want it, bring some extra money."

Lin Mei: "..." She couldn't say that her original plan was a pirated tape for about ten yuan.

In the end, Lin Mei decided to buy Jackson's original CD, maybe only one, but since she went with her friends, she had to accept the other party's kindness.It would be too much to say not to buy at this point.

And she likes Jackson.

I like it very much.Of course he is still alive now, he did not die under the scandal, and finally became a god.

Lin Mei said to Zhou Jie: "Actually, if you are going to the United States, you can go and see Jackson, he is a very good person."

Zhou Que said in surprise, "So you like Michael Jackson?"

In the end, Lin Mei found out that Zhou Jie also bought a CD of Jackson. When Lin Mei asked her, she said, "I want to listen to it."

In fact, Zhou Jie has always disliked Jackson's music. She thinks he represents the bad side of American culture, such as violence and depravity.

But Lin Mei likes it, and Zhou Jie wants to be like a friend.

Zhou Jie had a CD player at home, so she opened it and listened to it as soon as she came back.She knew that Papa Zhou didn't like her listening to pop music, especially rock.Jackson's appearance in the TV report did not fit Zhou's father's impression of being "positive and uplifting", the kind of person who could be a role model for Zhou Jie, so she knew that Zhou's father would be angry when he found out that she heard this.

But she just wanted to make him angry!
beat it
Shocking music suddenly echoed in the room!The rhythm of the subwoofer is like a heartbeat echoing in the ears!

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard it.

She read the introduction on the inside of the CD, which has Jackson's life on it.At what age did he start playing music, forming a band, at what age did he release his first record, and when did he become popular in the United States and become a popular idol.

In the United States, where racial discrimination is the most serious, in the 70s, when blacks were far from being as relaxed as they are now, he conquered everyone with his singing.

The lyrics of Beat it are very simple. Zhou Jie quickly understood what the song was about after looking up a few new words in a dictionary.She kept repeating this song, and couldn't help amplifying her voice, letting the song hit her heart with a roar.

As soon as Zhou's father walked downstairs, a neighbor said to him: "Zhou Jie is playing music at your house. It's so loud that I can't even watch TV! She can't hear you even knocking on the door!"

Dad Zhou had already heard Michael Jackson’s singing from upstairs. Just beat it kept repeating. The little boy passing by jumped to the beat and sang along: “Just beat it, Beat itJust beat it, Beat it” and then on the stairs Make a slide on the top.

Zhou's father chuckled twice: "Impossible, Zhou Jie won't listen to this."

But he slowly went up to the fourth floor, separated by a door, and the music was deafening.

He took out the key to open the door, the noise in the living room was so loud that Zhou Jie didn't even notice that he was back.

He walked over slowly and saw Zhou Yu humming the lyrics slowly along with the song, looking at the inside of the CD in his hand.

Zhou's father turned off the CD, and Zhou Yu glared at him: "Dad, I'm still listening." Then he opened it again with a snap.

"It's too loud." After last week's dispute, Dad Zhou felt a little aggrieved in front of his daughter, and while coaxing her, he turned his voice down very low, "Don't make it too loud, the neighbors will complain."

Zhou Yu hummed as if he didn't hear it, and continued listening to the song.

Father Zhou went to cook nervously.

After the two of them sat down to eat, Zhou's father was watching the news broadcast, while the CD player on one side was still playing songs.

Father Zhou patiently watched the news with the accompaniment of Michael Jackson.

"Zhou Jie, why did you suddenly fall in love with this kind of song?" Zhou's father said kindly.

Zhou Hao immediately said: "Dad, you don't know Mike at all! He is very brave! He is a hard-working person! He is too great!" Then he talked with Zhou's father about the science all the way. Jackson, as a human rights fighter, bravely declared war on the white society bravery and his incredible talent as a musician.

In the end, Zhou Jie said excitedly: "Dad, do you think my mother has heard of Jackson's concert? I heard that you can meet celebrities when you go to the supermarket in the United States!"

For the first time, Father Zhou doubted the correctness of sending his daughter to the United States...
