Back to the third grade

Chapter 20

This week when the heater was installed, the temperature dropped to zero degrees.

As soon as Lin Mei arrived at the class, she saw a few boys lying on the window and looking out without cleaning, while laughing happily: "Hahaha! Another one fell!"

There are two manhole covers on the street outside the school, which usually accumulate water, but because of the low terrain, half of the street there is now frozen to ice.

When Lin Mei came over just now, she saw a cyclist slipped and fell there, and fell with a loud crash.

A girl was sitting next to the wall, because the boys opened the window, and the cold wind was blowing in, she shrank her neck from the cold, and cursed: "Can you close the window?! Frozen to death! !"

The boys pretended not to hear, the girls just stood up and forced to close the window, a boy put his hand on the edge of the window, with a look of "Do you dare to close it?", the girl pushed hard, the boy quickly retracted his hand , the window snapped shut.

As soon as Lin Mei put down her schoolbag, Zheng Kai ran in like a gust of wind, threw down her schoolbag and called the boys: "Follow me!" He took three or five boys and quickly ran out again, and they could be heard in the classroom The loud bang of running down the stairs.

When Zhou Yu came, he said to her, "Zheng Kai took the boys from our class to shovel ice in the back street of the school."

Lin Mei laughed: "Volunteer labor? Does the school let those on duty do this?"

It happened that the team on duty this week heard it and wailed: "No way!!"

He Qi had been sitting in a chair reading a book, without raising his head, he said slowly, "No way. Just now the principal led people to shovel the ice over there, and Zheng Kai brought people there."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When the morning self-study was over and it was time to collect the homework, Zheng Kai hadn't come back yet. Mei Lu stood up and asked the team leaders and representatives of all subjects to collect all the homework and send it to the teacher's office.

The only thing missing was Zheng Kai's homework. The team leader was worried. He didn't dare to touch Zheng Kai's schoolbag, so he simply held the homework and said, "Let Zheng Kai take the homework to the teacher's office later."

He Qi wanted to collect physics homework. He took one copy from the group leader, asked Zheng Kai, and found out the homework in Zheng Kai's schoolbag. All subjects such as English, English, etc. were collected, and they were all collected and handed in with great satisfaction.

It was almost time to ring the bell for the first class, and Zheng Kai hurried back with his people.Everyone was shivering from the cold, and when they came in, they threw themselves on the radiator to warm their hands, and some even leaned against the radiator to keep warm.

He Qi sneered, Zheng Kai found that his schoolbag was open, and asked the group leader: "Have you taken away all your homework?"

The team leader pointed at He Qi and smiled and watched the show, saying, "He Qi took it."

Zheng Kai jumped on He Qi's back: "You are quite courageous."

He Qi is short, Zheng Kai stretched his cold hand into his neck, and screamed, Zheng Kai stretched one hand into his neck and the other from the hem of his clothes, He Qi struggled desperately, Zheng Kai laughed Hey hey said: "Come here and help me hold him down!" Gao Yuan and the others who went out to shovel the ice just now laughed lewdly and came over and stretched their hands into He Qi's clothes.

It wasn't until the teacher came in that they broke up with a bang.He Qi's clothes were pulled out from his trouser waist, and his hair was messed up.While taking out all the books, he shook his fist at Zheng Kai and the boys behind him: "I'll make you look good after class!"

There are many students cycling past the back alley of the school every day. It is easy for students to fall when it freezes, especially the students like to fight while walking.So that afternoon, an urgent notification was made, saying that a few boys from each class would take turns to shovel ice there every day, and as long as it was frozen, they would be shoveled.

Lin Mei felt that her mouth was enough for a crow, and this was a mission worthy of her.

Each liner is one day, and their three shifts are counted as one day next week.Zheng Kai mobilized on the podium, with emotion and reason, first of all, we have to go, and it is good for us to clean up.Besides, the whole school will do this round together, the first time next week, and it won't be twice until the winter vacation. This task is not heavy at all.In the end, I said that the students of the attached primary school also walked there every day, and it would be serious if they fell on the children.

This matter has nothing to do with girls. The school told boys to shovel from the beginning.Zheng Kai just wanted to pick someone among the boys, and he would go there in turn.Because the round can only be done every two weeks, it is not appropriate to be assigned to the duty group.He asked boys to sign up enthusiastically.

As a result, no one paid attention to him.No one in the class raised their hand.

"Then I've called the roll call." Zheng Kai quickly called around, and the tall guys from the football team were all counted.He Qi was placed in the second group, and he said to He Qi: "At that time, you should pay more attention to this group." He was in the first group, and a class committee was also placed in the second group to control this group of people.

He Qi nodded indifferently.

He Qi doesn't like to be in charge, even the physics class representative is appointed by the teacher.But the students naturally split sides, he is on Zheng Kai's side, and he is the class committee member who studies well.Sometimes he will give Zheng Kai face and will not sing against him.

Last weekend, when the seats were adjusted in the class, Lin Mei and He Qi got together.

Teacher Zheng handed out the papers for the in-class test last week, but he distributed them in different groups, asking everyone to change the papers and change the papers.Probably Mr. Zheng didn't have time to correct the papers last week.

What Lin Mei got was He Qi's paper, the paper was very clean, and the writing was delicate and small.Teacher Zheng said above that everyone should make corrections on the paper and write the correct answers.

Teacher Zheng said: "Some people are lazy. When I talk about papers, you are too lazy to write the correct answers on them. When you review, you still get wrong answers. How do you review then? Now this is someone else's paper. I see you How dare you not write the answer."

Lin Mei had no choice but to write the answer on He Qi's paper, feeling that her handwriting was not as delicate as a boy's handwriting, and she was hit hard.On the one hand, I was worried that my papers were in whose hands, and the answers I wrote were not clear.She will have to check it again before she can rest assured.

After a class was taught, the paper was only half finished.

Teacher Zheng said: "I won't talk about the rest, you can go back and correct it yourself. Our progress is a bit behind now, and we will continue to teach the new lesson in the next class." Teacher Zheng plans to finish the new lesson in this half semester. , The second half of the semester will be purely for review, and it will be more intense then, so the new class is basically progressing at the rate of two texts a week.

Teacher Zheng said that it all depends on self-consciousness. In the past, they were given a lot of time, and a text could be taught to them in a week, but now it is no longer possible.

Lin Mei gave the paper to He Qi, and when she turned around, she saw that her paper had been put on the table, but she didn't see who put it there, and there were not many corrections on it.She went to borrow Zhou Jing's, and found that her papers were not corrected much, and the handwriting was still ugly. Zhou Jie was using tape to tape off all the corrections made by others, and she rewrote it herself.

"It's really annoying!" Zhou Yan was furious.

Lin Mei had no choice but to go back and borrow He Qi's paper. She was confident in writing it herself.

He Qi happily gave her the paper, "Give it to me after school, can you finish the two self-study lessons?"

Lin Mei said, "I won't go out between classes, so I'll give it to you as early as possible."

He Qi said: "No, anyway, I plan to use it during my evening self-study, you see."

Although it was warm in the classroom with the windows closed, the smell was not pleasant.So after class, the front and rear doors are open for ventilation.

Lin Mei put on the coat after blowing the wind for a while, when someone called her outside.

She looked up, and it turned out to be a girl she didn't recognize at all.

She looked at her strangely in the past, and the girl said, "You are Lin Mei, right? Can you lend me your Chinese books? Our next class is your teacher Zheng's class."

Lin Mei laughed, "I don't know you, do I?"

The girl said, "I'm in Class [-], and my name is Zhang Ming. I know Lu Lu from your class."

Lu Lu and Zhou Jie are very good, and Zhou Jie and Lin Mei are good friends, so the relationship is still close.Lin Mei turned her head and glanced at the class. Seeing that the girl didn't believe her, she said anxiously: "I really know Lu Lu. She said that you memorized the notes in your book very well, so I will borrow a class! My Chinese books will be given to you first." You, change it after class."

She also brought her language documents.

Lin Mei thought that borrowing the book would be fine, so she took her book and gave her her Chinese textbook.Zhang Ming opened it, looked at it, and said with a sigh of relief, "We have talked more than you, and I will lend you my notes then."

"Why do you lend me your own notes?" Lin Mei asked curiously.

Zhang Ming turned to the back of the last lesson and said, "I didn't write the next question, I guess you must have written it."

It turned out to be an after-school exercise, and Lin Mei did it.

It can be regarded as making a friend from a foreign class.Lin Mei found it quite interesting.Back in class, Lu Lu also came to look for her, "Did Zhang Ming look for you? My dad and her dad know each other, and my grandma's and her grandma's live in the same community."

"Then why did you ask her to borrow mine? Why didn't you lend her your own?" Lin Mei asked her.

Lu Lu: "I wrote... I didn't write much!" She went to get her book, but when she opened the exercises in the previous lesson, it was blank, and she said, "When Zhang Ming returns the book to you, Let me have a look."

Lin Mei is now a conscientious student by default. She must finish the papers, do her homework well, write all the exercises and workbooks after class, and have a good accuracy rate.

When Zhang Ming came to return the book, he said to her: "People in our class are copying your book, and they want to borrow another lesson from you. I told them to come by themselves. I have to return the book to you first." .”

Lu Lu was also at the side, took Lin Mei's book and said, "Let them wait, it's only for my sake that I borrow you."

Lin Mei then said, "Yes, for Lu Lu's sake, I won't lend it to others."

Thank you very much Zhang Ming.

After getting to know each other by accident, Lin Mei also got to know a few other girls in Class [-] through Zhang Ming. Sometimes she forgot to bring her textbooks and could borrow them from other classes.

Before the self-study class in the afternoon, Teacher Zheng came over and said two things.

One is that it gets darker and earlier recently, and some students live far away, and they eat late after returning home, and they are very hungry at school, so the school decided that in addition to an extra meal in the morning, after the second class in the afternoon, There is another meal before the self-study class, which is also bread and steamed buns, as well as bags of milk and soy milk.

The second thing is that 06:30 is a bit too early to leave school. It is also because of time constraints and heavy tasks, so the school plans to add two more self-study sessions.The class in the afternoon is two regular classes plus four self-study classes, and school ends at [-] o'clock.

The small factory manager also assigned a TV to each class of the third grade, so that everyone can watch the news broadcast.The politics teacher said that news broadcasts should be watched every day, which is good for their political exams.

Teacher Zheng also bought a VCD player for the class fee, saying that he could show some videos for them to watch.

With these two good things, everyone will not be so repulsive about adding self-study classes.Teacher Gao, who teaches English, first brought them a few original language DVDs to watch, and what they watched was The Sound of Music.Although I only watched one class, the class ended just after seeing the eldest daughter of the General’s family and the boy who delivered the letter in a tryst in the rainy night garden. Teacher Gao turned off the machine sternly, and everyone let out a long cry of disappointment.

I've seen it all before, but it's fascinating to watch it again.And it was broken in such an itchy place.

A classmate who has watched this film said the following. The general planned to take his whole family to escape from Germany and the Communist Party of China, but the young man informed him.So this pair of little lovers ended up with BE.

Lin Mei found that everyone's consciousness is quite high.Some girls said that the boy should not inform, but some boys said that Germany was under the oppression of the Treaty of Versailles at that time, and the Communist Party was not so terrifying at that time, so the boy who whistled because he thought the general was a traitor, and he whistled because he was patriotic .

But one girl said affirmatively: "He just feels that the general broke up his love and is taking revenge!"

The sour and astringent love in youth makes people can't help but taste it again and again, with a sense of a little game, but also with extraordinary earnestness, as if he has become a lonely martyr, walking on the path destined to be criticized and condemned. against the road.

Talking about puppy love in the class has become more and more, it seems that there are so many "class pairs" all at once.

Lin Mei was affirmed by Zhu Hai: "Qian Liang likes you. But he knows you don't like him."

Lin Mei was very helpless, she wasn't sure how much Qian Liang liked her, but she really didn't intend to fall in love with him.

She felt like it was everyone's last attempt at escapism.

Zhou Jie also talked about this topic with her.

When the two left school together, she first asked Lin Mei what she thought of Qian Liang and Tu Hai.

Lin Mei said affirmatively, "I don't like either of them?"

"You don't like Tuhai either?" Zhou Yu asked her deliberately.

"I don't like it." Lin Mei affirmed.

So... immature.

Those junior high school boys, although full of vigor, are also like children.Not the slightest bit of masculine appeal.

And she doesn't think this is a good time to fall in love. She has too little time and wants to do too much.If she can really pass the Provincial Sixth Examination this time, maybe her university can be changed, and her whole life will be different after that!

Just thinking about it leaves her no time to think about anything else.

Zhou Yu could tell that Lin Mei was telling the truth.

She lowered her head and walked quietly.

Almost at the intersection where the two usually broke up, Zhou Yu stopped and said, "I talked to Zhang Zhan in the second semester of the second year of junior high school."

Lin Mei: Mouth
"Afterwards, Teacher Zheng transferred us away." Zhou Yu said, "I moved behind you and never spoke to him again."

Lin Mei suddenly felt that something was wrong: she remembered that Zhang Zhan seemed to be talking to someone now!
This talk is not really about what to talk about, Lin Mei doesn't believe what these children can do.Every day at school has already taken up their whole day, and homework is piled up as high as a mountain when they come home from school.

It's just two people walking together after school.

Lin Mei looked at Zhou Jie carefully.

Zhou Yu's eye circles were red, and when he blinked, tears fell down!
Lin Mei quickly gave her the napkin!

"He's getting better with Ma Jie now..." Zhou Jie began to cry, she was really sad.She also thought that Zhang Zhan was in the same mood as hers, and thought that the two of them might get back together after a while, but she didn't expect that he would get back together with someone else after only a year.

Lin Mei stayed with Zhou Qinger for 10 minutes in the cold wind at the intersection. After she left, it was 08:30 when she returned home. Fortunately, all the homework was solved by self-study in the fourth quarter, and only the review task was left when she came back.

Mother Lin was watching TV, when she heard the doorbell, she got up quickly: "Are you procrastinating again?" She took Lin Mei's schoolbag and said, "You have stewed pig's trotters, do you want to eat?"

The pig's trotters pressed out of the pressure cooker were soft and tender, and the meat was sucked into his mouth. Lin Mei killed two pig's trotters and one pig's tail with the steamed buns before going back to the house to read a book.

But she was restless all the time, seeing that the time was almost up, she went to make a call to Zhou Yu, and she was relieved when she heard that she had arrived home smoothly.

"My dad cooked sticky corn for me, I'll bring you some tomorrow." Zhou Yu said over there.

Lin Mei laughed and said: "My mother made me stewed pig's trotters, why don't you go home at noon tomorrow, come to my house to eat."

"Haha, no need." Zhou Yu seemed to be in a better mood.

Lin Mei felt that she should say something, "Actually, I think Zhang Zhan is not that good. Don't you think he is not good enough for you?"

Zhou Jie said amusedly, "Is he not good enough for me?"

Lin Mei began to criticize Zhang Zhan's study, including that he is not as tall as Zhou Jie, his nose bridge is not straight, he has acne, etc.Zhou Jie was amused.

"He's not handsome at all, let's find a handsome guy and piss him off!" Lin Mei said.

Zhou Yu laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, laughing so much that Zhou's father asked on the phone, "What did you say to your classmate that you are so happy?"

Seeing Zhou Jing the next day, she felt much better and took Lin Mei's arm to go downstairs to buy bread.She doesn't bring milk anymore, because the school also sells fresh milk now.

After buying the cold milk and soy milk, everyone put it on the radiator to heat it up.There are also steamed stuffed buns that are easy to get cold. If you buy them and don’t eat them for a while, put them on the radiator.

And because the boys sitting in the back like to take off their shoes to warm their feet, almost all the food is placed in the front by the girls' seats.

Zhou Yu whispered to Lin Mei, "I also feel that Zhang Zhan is not good enough for me."

Zhou Jie had never felt what kind of boy Zhang Zhan was before, only referring to his appearance.After Lin Mei said it, she also noticed that Zhang Zhan's clothes were often dirty and would not be changed, and his shoes would not be cleaned.

She said: "He is too dirty!" She still remembers that she used to copy notes for the Sutra Exhibition, and his book had only been used for a year, and even the cover of the book fell off, and there were stickers on the inside pages that were pasted and half torn off.

In short, Zhang Zhan looked rather sloppy.

Zhou Que was surprised: "Why did I fall in love with him before?"

Lin Mei said slowly: "This is called beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Now the magic is gone.

Zhou Hao was tortured by Zhang Zhan and Ma Jie before, Lin Mei wondered why she was so depressed last week, and thought it was because she was worrying about grades, and it was because of this that she had been messing around for a long time.

There are quite a lot of people who "talk" among the students, and it seems that they all popped up at once.The reaction of the teachers was very strange, neither chasing and intercepting nor whipping them wantonly.On the contrary, it seems to turn a blind eye.

Teacher Zheng once said coldly in class: "I see what some people will do during the high school entrance examination! Now I have time to do other things!"

It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't care, Lin Mei felt that the teachers had started to wash the sand and gave up some of the students.

In Teacher Zheng's words, "I will take care of those who are willing to learn, and I have no time to force you if you don't want to learn."

In Teacher Zheng's eyes, Lin Mei, who is willing to learn, has always been under the teacher's searchlight.Zhang Zhan, Mr. Zheng may have given up, but he called Ma Jie to the office and scolded him. Ma Jie came back crying.After that, I didn't dare to leave school with Zhang Zhan anymore, and every time I pulled a few girls together to go home.

Before the exam, Mr. Zheng said that he would hold a parent-teacher meeting.After the parent meeting, there will be an exam.

"Let your parents stare at you at home. You learn for yourself, not for me!" Teacher Zheng has also been a little irritable recently.It might be stressful too.

Just at this time, it was reported that Zheng Kai was in love.

Lin Mei and her friends said together: "He is committing crimes against the wind."

It is said that Zheng Kai is very smart. He never talks to his girlfriend at school. The two met by going to the same cram school.Some people from other shifts saw him walking with a girl and standing on the street eating roasted sweet potatoes together.

Zheng Kai was interviewed by Teacher Zheng.

Later, it is said that the two also went ice skating together.Also been seen.

It is said that the whistleblower is Tu Hai from Class [-].

"It's not me!" Tu Hai died of injustice, "It's really not me!"

He Qi pretended to be a passerby and stood aside.Regarding Zheng Kai's denunciation, the group of friends who went to cram school together are investigating the traitors.They all knew what Zheng Kai talked with people, but no one thought that someone would tell the teacher, and let Zheng Kai be called by Teacher Zheng.

Tuhai pointed at the sky and said cursingly: "If I say something, I will be punished for failing the high school entrance examination!"

"You are too ruthless, is there anyone who cursed himself like that?" He Qi came out to speak out.

When Tu Hai said this, Gao Yuan's group felt that it should not be Tu Hai, and they all cursed themselves for failing the high school entrance examination, so it must not be him.

"Who is that?" Gao Yuan scolded, "This person is too wicked!"

He Qi thought the matter of catching traitors was ridiculous, so he said: "Forget it, who knows who saw Zheng Kai? Maybe it was the teacher? We don't know how to talk about it, it's not idle. Is it?"

"What if someone wants to frame Zheng Kai?" Gao Yuan said.There are no such people in the world.

He Qi changed the subject and asked Tu Hai with a smile: "By the way, is the matter between you and our class Lin Mei true or false? I heard that you brought her?"

"She borrowed the papers from me, and I took them from the school gate to the copy shop." Seeing that the alarm was lifted, Tu Hai went to push the cart together.A group of boys pushed their bicycles and rode into the traffic.

Gao Yuan said: "Qian Liang in our class also likes Lin Mei, but Lin Mei doesn't like him."

He Qi laughed: "Compared to Tu Hai, Qian Liang is no good. You can ask the girls whether they choose Tu Hai or Qian Liang?"

A group of people burst into laughter.

Tu Hai blushed at their jokes, and kept saying, "Stop! Stop! Besides, I'm annoyed!"
