Back to the third grade

Chapter 49

Before leaving school, Mr. Zhao explained why the lights in the stairwell close to the first class were off a few days ago, because it happened that two lights went out together.Originally, the school installed two lamps in the stairwell because they were afraid that one would be broken, so at least one was left.

But the problem was that I did not know where the electrician was hired to connect the wires. He connected the wires of the two lamps together.So once it burned, both lamps burned out.

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Mr. Zhao himself couldn't help but say: "This is a school mistake. I apologize to everyone. It also caused people in our class to fall. To be honest, take down the lamp and put it on." I laughed to myself when I saw it.”

When the students return to school, all the lights in the stairwells and corridors will be replaced with voice-activated lights, and this time Teacher Zhao said to watch them walk the lines, "If not, I will do it myself!" Teacher Zhao said with a smile.

The students at the bottom laughed and said, "That's right! The teacher will teach them what electricity is!"

"Teach them a lesson!"

"Give them papers!"

Teacher Zhao was not angry at everyone’s quarreling, and said, “It’s very expensive for me to give out the papers. You know that every school in our province is rushing to ask for my physics papers!”

Three days off for the new year, no homework.English teacher Dai still memorizes words and phrases as usual, and it depends on self-consciousness.Chinese teacher Dong also said that you can memorize the texts. It would not be bad if someone started to review the textbooks for the first grade now. "The sooner you prepare, the better. If you start reviewing now, you will take advantage of a year and a half compared to those who only started reviewing in the third grade!"

When I said this, everyone was moved!How tempting it is to start reviewing a year and a half earlier than others!
It was less than a week since the last time she went home, and Lin Mei was carrying her luggage and preparing to go home again.Zhou's father drove here to pick up Zhou Jing, and he could take Lin Mei back by the way.

Zhou Yu got in the car and said that he wanted to go to Lin Mei's house to see the dog.

"Just 10 minutes! Dad, you stay there for 10 minutes. I'll go in and play with Lin Mei's dog for a while and then I'll come out!" Zhou Yu kept acting like a baby, but Zhou's father couldn't stop him soon, and he brought a cake roll. For Zhou Jie and Lin Mei, let them take it out and eat first.

Although both of them left after breakfast, they could still eat cake even if they were full.

Zhou's father looked at his watch and asked Lin Mei: "Lin Mei, can you let Zhou Jie have dinner at your house at noon? Uncle has a meeting going on soon, so he may not be able to pick her up at noon."

Lin Mei said no problem.

He looked at Zhou Jing, "I think the meeting time is nine o'clock. You said you would take the bus home at seven o'clock. I thought I had time to pick you up. The time is tight. Since you are going to Lin Mei's house to watch the dog , then stay there for a day, and I will pick you up after the meeting in the evening."

Zhou Que said, "Dad, I can go back by myself."

"No." Father Zhou said immediately, "It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of thieves on the road." He slid the car down the road carefully, looked at Lin Mei from the rearview mirror and said, "I heard that your family has a dog. This is good. There have been a few crimes committed recently. If there is a dog, you can bark to wake people up if there is any movement."

Zhou Yu asked Zhou's father: "Dad, is this what you are talking about in the meeting?"

Zhou's father sighed and said, "Yeah, people from the municipal party committee are here. I heard that the provincial party committee called to strictly investigate to ensure safe production and the safety of people's property and lives."

When they arrived at Lin Mei's house, Zhou's father stopped the car and let the two little girls down. It was scary to see them walking on the icy road with their luggage. He rolled down the car window and put his head out and shouted, "Be careful! Don't worry!"

Zhou Yu turned around and waved his hands vigorously: "Dad, don't worry! Drive carefully!"

There are two or three assisted investigation notices posted at the gate of the affiliated courtyard of the textile factory.One big-character poster is written in the style of a big-character poster, informing everyone that it is not safe recently. There may be a gang of thieves in the vicinity. If you see strangers entering and leaving the community recently, please be vigilant.Outsiders renting a house also require the landlord to check clearly, don't rent to everyone, otherwise if the police can't find the renter in an accident, the landlord will be unlucky.There are also two wanted warrants with unclear black and white headshots printed on them, both of which have people killed.

When Lin Mei and Zhou Yu entered the house, Qiangqiang immediately noticed that there was a stranger, but he came in with his master, so he was more polite and barked quietly.When Zhou Yu saw it, he leaned his luggage against the corner casually, then bent down and reached out to it, "Qiangqiang, Qiangqiang." She called sweetly.

Lin Mei hugged Qiang Qiang and said to her, "This is my sister's friend, Zhou Jin, come and get acquainted."

Qiangqiang stopped barking at Zhou Jie, but obviously it is not a husky, and has a lot of curiosity, so when it knew that Zhou Jie didn't need to be vigilant, it just followed Lin Mei and wagged its tail desperately to express its parting feelings, and kept purring Woo seems to be crying.

Lin Mei had no choice but to hug it onto the sofa, and surrounded it with Zhou Que to coax it to accompany it.

Zhou Hao touched Qiang Qiang's back and said in surprise, "It's so thin! Does it eat less?"

Lin Mei stroked its strong leg bones and said, "It is growing now. In two months, it will grow twice as tall as it is now." Hearing that Qiangqiang's father and mother are both big, immediately A good dog as tall as a man.The owner of the dog factory uses them as watchdogs, and they are usually willing to feed them.

Lin Mei went to the kitchen and took a piece of beef bone out and said to Zhou Yu, "It likes to eat this."

The owner of the dog factory uses the big bones of pigs, cows, sheep and other animals to boil and dry them in the sun, and then grinds the teeth of these dogs.The strong father and mother can bite off in one bite, eating sugarcane-thick bones is like eating biscuits.When the uncle took Qiangqiang away, the owner gave them a bag of these bones and said that Qiangqiang has started to grow teeth now and will grind his teeth in the next year. If he does not want him to destroy the furniture, it is best to prepare something for him to grind his teeth.He said that it’s fine to get the bones after eating them. If you want to make them yourself, it’s easy. When you buy pork bones, you can make soup first, and you can drink the bone soup yourself.

Lin Mei said: "He gave most of the bag, I think it's enough to eat until one year old."

The cow bone was placed in front of Qiangqiang, and Qiangqiang held the bone with both hands and bit the bone with his small milk teeth and dragged it to his nest to be gnawed on his back.

Zhou Jie couldn't help but squat in front of the nest again and again to watch Qiang Qiang gnawing on the bones, and just kept seeing Lin's mother get off work.

Knowing that Lin Mei would be back today, Mama Lin called home just now, and when she heard that Zhou Yu was here, Mama Lin bought some more things on purpose.As soon as she got home, she gave the plastic bag to Lin Mei and said, "The fried chestnuts given by others, you two can eat them." She also said, "You can take a look at the plate your uncle brought me a few days ago."

Lin Mei went back to the living room to give the chestnuts to Zhou Yan, squatted down and flipped through the plate, and saw that it was Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2, she asked Zhou Yan if she wanted to see it, Zhou Yan shook her head, she couldn't care less about the plate now, her heart was turned against her Seeing her lying there concentrating on gnawing the bones, she couldn't help but want to give the chestnuts to the forcible, and asked Lin Mei: "Can I give it?"

Lin Mei said: "The shelled ones should be fine. Don't feed too much, just feed one grain."

Zhou Hao immediately squatted down excitedly and took the chestnuts to lure Qiangqiang, she put the chestnuts in the palm of her hand and put them in front of Qiangqiang: "Qiangqiang, do you want to eat?"

Qiangqiang has been nervous since she passed by, and when she saw the chestnut, she sniffed it for face, but turned her head and continued to gnaw on the bone.

When it was time to eat, Zhou Hao even looked back at Qiangqiang after eating for a while.

Lin Mei wondered how Qiangqiang could gnaw bones so well. Mother Lin said: "Your uncle said that it is about to grow teeth, and once the deciduous teeth fall out, it should grow new teeth." Then she said, "I didn't take a look at the chair legs in your house. It’s time for it to gnaw, you can go and have a look later.” If not, Mother Lin would not know that the little guy’s teeth should be replaced, so she quickly took out the bone for it to gnaw.

After eating, Zhou Jie couldn't wait to see the chair legs Qiang Qiang gnawed.None of the four chair legs were spared, like a big tree gnawed by a mole in the animation, all missing a circle.However, it can also be seen that Lin Mei's chair is made of good wood with a solid texture.

"Oh, my dad will definitely not allow me to keep a dog." Zhou Yu gave up after seeing the gnawed chair leg. If the dog gnawed on the furniture at home, Zhou's father would immediately stop letting him keep it.

Mother Lin changed Lin Mei to a new bed sheet and quilt cover. The two sat on the bed and talked. After a while, Qiang Qiang came over. Lin Mei went to fetch his mat and let him lie on it. In and out, Zhou Yu saw that he was drunk again, and hesitated: "You said if I told my father that it is not safe to raise a dog during the Chinese New Year, would he agree?"

Lin Mei thinks that the possibility is unlikely, and it has been more than ten years since raising a dog. Now Zhou Yu is not as angry as in junior high school and refuses to study abroad.She is much more peaceful now, and she also decided to study abroad, that is, she will not go until she graduates from high school.

Lin Mei said: "If your dad really doesn't like it, you should stop raising it. Otherwise, when you leave, what will happen to the dog?"

Zhou Yu also felt that it would be pity for her to leave the dog. If Dad really didn't like it and had the patience to keep it, he would definitely give it away.It's better not to raise it in the first place.

In the evening, after Zhou's father came to pick up Zhou Yu, Lin's mother remembered to ask Lin Mei: "Why did you bring back apples and oranges? You bought them at school and didn't finish them?" It's a big bag.

Lin Mei said it was left over from the party, and everyone had a pack.She deliberately asked for more melon seeds and peanuts, but not many apples and oranges.

Mother Lin said: "It's just right, I put the ones from the factory on the balcony, you can take them in and eat."

Lin Mei went over to see that the cardboard boxes placed on the balcony had also been forcibly chewed on several corners.She patted Qiang Qiang's little head next to it, and gently opened its mouth to look. Sure enough, she saw a row of crystal clear, cute little teeth with sharp to translucent fangs.

There is a box of vegetables in the box, and the rest are fruits, two boxes of apples, one box of oranges and one box of oranges.

Lin Mei took a few oranges and said, "Why are there so many delivered this year?" In the past, there was a box of apples and a box of oranges, and there was no need to buy fruit at grandma's house anymore.

Lin's mother said helplessly: "I've returned to the office now, haven't I? As a result, the library, that is, the logistics side has not canceled my name, and the result is that I have a share of the new year's goods on both sides. This year our family is considered You don’t even need to buy oil and rice. Two barrels of 10L of oil and two bags of 10kg of rice. I asked your uncle to carry some away, and then I sent out fruits. They said that there will be eggs and meat in two days, and more Hand out papers."

Ms. Lin is expected to work overtime this year. She said, "It just so happens that you only have three days off, otherwise I don't feel at ease when you are at home during the winter vacation." This year may be too cold, and there are more thieves than in previous years.

At around seven o'clock, an aunt from the community came to knock on the door, saying that she wanted to ask if the Lin family had any relatives and friends living at home.

Mama Lin asked Da Ma to come in to have a look, and she was also warm and warm, and said, "Auntie, take a rest."

The aunt came in to look at each room very responsibly, and waved her hand and said, "No, I still have to go upstairs to look. If you have someone in your house, you can tell me, and you have to go to my place to register the information, and I still want to see this person." ID card. This year, our area has been strictly checked, and it is also for the sake of everyone’s safety.”

All the homes in the family courtyard have been checked, and even if they don't live here for the time being, they have to say something.There are two relatives and friends here, and the aunts carefully checked their ID cards and registered their names.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, grandma called Lin's mother, "Come here, I'm ready to make dumplings. Wait for you to come and roll the skins. What about Meimei? Ask her to come too, and let the children rest after the Chinese New Year. Don't let her always make dumplings." Read a book at home."

Mother Lin said: "Mom, don't worry, we'll go right away. Meimei has no homework this time, don't worry, she didn't read in the house."

Mama Lin and Lin Mei rearranged the boxes of fruit, sorted out two boxes, and carried one box each to their uncle's house.My aunt was killing fish in the house. Tao Tao ran out as soon as he heard the door, took the fruit box from Lin Mei's hand and looked behind her: "Did you bring the strong and the weak?"

Lin Mei, "I can't take it with me. I'll go back in the afternoon."

Tao Tao was looking forward to playing with Qiangqiang today, and when he heard that the reason was ready, "How can I do it? How lonely it is to leave it at home. Let's go and hug him."

Lin Mei wanted to go into the kitchen to replace her aunt. She didn't want to eat the fish made by her aunt, but Tao Tao was so focused on finding Qiang Qiang that she pestered Lin Mei hundreds of times and called her good sister and sister. He smiled and said, "Why don't you take him there and bring the dog over. Let's celebrate the New Year together."

Lin Mei had no choice but to take the bus with Tao Tao back to pick up the dog.Dogs were not allowed on the bus, so they had to walk back.When the food arrived, the food was already on the table, and the uncle said, "Just wait for you two!"

Qiangqiang lived at his uncle's house for two days, and he didn't recognize his life at all.He ran over to pick off Mother Lin's legs first, then uncle's, grandma's and grandpa's.The uncle looked happy, looked at the dishes on the table, and gave it a dumpling. The aunt held him back and said, "Are you a prodigal? Give dumplings to dogs?" Then she took a piece of radish from the boiled fish and threw it on the ground up.

Lin Mei got a headache when she saw the fish in the middle. This time, not only soybean sprouts but also white radish were put in it.

If the dishes were not good, the only thing to eat was dumplings. After eating the second plate without any effort, Lin Mei realized that she had eaten forty dumplings!Seeing that her plate was empty again, Mother Lin asked with the dumplings she just made, "Do you want me to order some more for you?"

Lin Mei shook her head quickly.In fact, she still doesn't feel full after eating forty dumplings. She can still eat if she wants to, but she really can't.She remembered that when she was in college, she would feel full after eating [-] dumplings, and they were still small dumplings from a small shop outside.Unexpectedly, at this age, forty dumplings are still not enough to eat big dumplings made at home.

You can eat it during puberty.

As soon as she put down the chopsticks, Tao Tao quickly put down the chopsticks and said, "Sister, don't you want to eat? Then let's take Qiangqiang out to play?" He has long wanted to take Qiangqiang out to play!Just now I have been watching when Lin Mei finishes eating, because if he takes the dog out by himself, his father will definitely not let him.

Lin Mei also felt that it was too unsafe to sit at the dinner table again. Mother Lin also fried a plate of meatballs and shrimp crackers. She didn't eat a few slices just now, but now looking at the shrimp crackers is really tempting.

Finally, Lin Mei held a piece of shrimp in her mouth, stood up and waved to Tao Tao, "Let's go."

There are children firing cannons in the yard.They didn't take Qiangqiang away, they just played in the flower bed downstairs.Qiang Qiang entered the flower bed to solve it, and then walked briskly through the flower bed.

Tao Tao turned from one side to the other, teasing Qiangqiang: "Qiangqiang come here!" Qiangqiang ran over, Tao Tao hugged Qiangqiang and said, "Qiangqiang, you are amazing! Smart!" Qiang Qiang's little tail flicked and flicked quickly.

Then the following repeats infinitely.

Lin Mei stood aside and watched Tao Tao happily playing the game of "Come to Brother Strong" until his uncle shouted upstairs: "You two don't think it's cold? Be careful to catch a cold! Come up!"

The grandma and grandpa at home went to take a nap, and the uncle showed the dishes to Mother Lin. Seeing the two of them coming back, the uncle said, "Taotao, let your sister explain to you the questions you don't know."

Tao Tao originally walked towards the sofa excitedly when he saw the dishes, but when he heard this, he became dejected. He watched the TV reluctantly, but still dared not listen to his uncle's words, so he dragged his heavy steps towards his room. to the bedroom.

Tao Tao's bedroom is very messy.Because he stuffed two wardrobes and two chests of drawers in his room.Because he has lived on campus since junior high school, and sometimes he doesn’t come back once a week. My aunt’s sister seems to be planning to move and change the furniture. She plans to dispose of the old furniture. It’s a pity that my aunt went to see it, so she bravely borrowed a tricycle and pushed it back. .

Originally, it could be used as furniture in the house rented by my uncle, but my uncle said that there is no place to put beds in his house, and I wish I could put more. How can there be room for such a large wardrobe?But it can be put in Mama Lin's house downstairs for tenants to use, since it's old anyway.

But my aunt was reluctant, so she stuffed it into Tao Tao's bedroom.

Lin Mei was startled as soon as she came in, and saw that Taotao's small bed was only a very narrow distance from the cabinet, and the door could hardly be closed.

Tao Tao closed the door, set up the folding table, and gave Lin Mei a small round stool to sit on. He sat on the bed and began to ask questions.Lin Mei, the gatekeeper, was blocked and asked Tao Tao, "Then you have to knock on the door before someone comes in?" It's too inconvenient.

Tao Tao laughed: "You don't know, it's great! My dad can't even come in when I'm reading novels, I just need to tell him that I'm studying!" It means that when the tutor comes, he can't teach here, he can only Go to his parents' big house, his parents want to watch TV in the living room.

Lin Mei asked him what he could not do, Tao Tao said very proudly: "Take any test! As long as it is mathematics, geometry, physics and chemistry! I will not be able to do anything!"

Lin Mei said she understood, so let's practice English.

Tao Tao immediately froze, "Sister, don't say such scary things for those who celebrate Chinese New Year!"
