Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 27

Zhou Hui lowered his head and whispered, "Jing Lan, I'd better go back with your father."

Lin Jinglan asked, "Have you already decided?"

Zhou Hui nodded slightly, "Well, it's reasonable for me to live with your dad. Many people have come to persuade me these days, and your dad also said that I will never touch a finger with me again——"

Lin Jinglan interrupted Zhou Hui, "I just want to ask you, have you really made up your mind? Are you ignoring all the things I told you before?"

Zhou Hui sighed, "Jing Lan, you are too young, what you said is ridiculous. You have always been such a stubborn girl, you will suffer later..."

Lin Jinglan sneered angrily, and said indiscriminately for a moment, "I'm at a disadvantage? No matter how much I suffer, I won't turn around and follow him back after being nearly strangled by my husband in the future!"

Zhou Hui's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he stared at Lin Jinglan in a daze.

Lin Jinglan turned away and stopped looking at Zhou Hui, "Since you are determined to go with him, I can't stop you."

"Let's go."

Lin Shan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, seeing that Lin Jinglan didn't look at him at all, he closed it awkwardly, walked past Lin Jinglan cautiously, and walked out the door.

Zhou Hui hesitated a little, but still picked up the burden, and followed Lin Shan and left.

Since Zhou Hui left, Lin Jinglan has been depressed.Even after receiving the sample issue, Lin Jinglan was not happy to see her thesis printed in black and white on the journal exuding the fragrance of ink. She just glanced at it briefly and then threw it aside.

The sample magazine that Lin Jinglan didn't read twice was borrowed by the whole class. Although she couldn't understand a few lines at all, every student read it carefully from beginning to end.

Although what Lin Jinglan wrote this time is a review, it also has a certain degree of professionalism. It is natural for laymen to find it inscrutable when they look at it, which arouses a lot of amazement.

Teacher Han copied several copies of Lin Jinglan's thesis, gave one copy to the principal, and kept the rest for herself, thinking that these were rare materials for both Lin Jinglan and herself when evaluating honors.

"Lin Jinglan! The principal told you to go to his office." A student called Lin Jinglan's name outside the classroom.

Lin Jinglan walked towards the principal's office in surprise, wondering what was going on.

She knocked on the door lightly, and the headmaster's voice was extraordinarily bright, "Please come in."

Lin Jinglan pushed the door open, and saw a person sitting opposite the principal.The principal said enthusiastically to the man, "Reporter Zou, this is Lin Jinglan from Class Three, Senior Three."

"Jing Lan, this is reporter Zou from Qingshan Evening News, who came here to interview you."

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, she didn't expect a reporter to interview her.But she quickly realized and said with a sweet smile, "Hello, Reporter Zou, I didn't expect you to come here to interview me. In fact, I am just an ordinary student."

Reporter Zou smiled, "You are the champion of the city in the pre-examination, and you have published two papers in national first-level journals. I am afraid that there are not many middle school students who are so outstanding in China! You are too humble to say that you are ordinary. gone."

Lin Jinglan took Reporter Zou's words very smoothly, "I have indeed made some small achievements, but this is definitely not due to me alone."

Lin Jinglan glanced at the principal with a smile in her eyes, and continued, "If it wasn't for the principal, I wouldn't have had the chance to go to school at all..."

After Lin Jinglan finished speaking, Reporter Zou was busy taking quick shorthand notes in his notebook.He silently marveled as he wrote, Lin Jinglan's words were so beautiful that he didn't need his guidance at all, he only needed a little polishing when he went back, and it would be a good manuscript in no time.

Listening to Lin Jinglan's words, the principal was filled with surprises.

The reporter came so suddenly that he had no chance to imply that Lin Jinglan had said something good about the school, but now that he heard Lin Jinglan's words, he didn't mention himself at all. How do the students in the school help each other and make progress together.

"Qingshan Middle School is really good at teaching students according to their aptitude." Lin Jinglan paused, and saw Reporter Zou write down the teaching according to her aptitude in her notebook, and then she continued, "Take me as an example, my basic knowledge is relatively solid, Both the principal and the teachers encouraged me to develop myself further, so I was able to publish two papers."

The headmaster stared slightly. When did Lin Jinglan write the thesis because of the encouragement of him and the teacher?

Before Lin Jinglan's thesis was published, he didn't even know about it!
The principal saw Lin Jinglan's serious face, and reporter Zou nodded again and again, so he quickly suppressed the surprise on his face.

Reporter Zou was very interested in the papers published by Lin Jinglan, and asked a lot of questions about it. When Lin Jinglan said that she went to the city library to look up materials, he immediately asked Lin Jinglan to go to the library with him. Take a few more photos here, and interview the staff in the library at the same time.

Lin Jinglan smiled wryly in her heart, but it didn't show on her face, "Reporter Zou, I have class in the afternoon, so it's not convenient to go to the city library."

Reporter Zou nodded quickly, "Then I'll come see you again on Sunday, and we'll go together."

Lin Jinglan frowned, "Reporter Zou, why don't you go to the city library? It will take half a day to go back and forth. You also know that I am about to take the college entrance examination, and the review task is heavy. Why don't we just take a few photos at school?"

Reporter Zou insisted, "It's not too long to study, right? Jing Lan, you are already the number one scholar in the city!"

The principal didn't know Lin Jinglan's concerns, and followed Reporter Zou to persuade him, "I'll go with you on Sunday! Jing Lan, I'll grant you a whole day's leave. After the interview, we can walk around the city, work and rest. Combination is the right way."

Lin Jinglan saw that Reporter Zou and the principal had talked about this matter, so she could only nod her head in agreement. If she insisted on not going, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Lin Jinglan agreed to come down, Reporter Zou left happily. The principal and Lin Jinglan sent Reporter Zou to the school gate together.

After sending reporter Zou away, Lin Jinglan and the principal walked back together. Seeing the principal's hesitant expression, Lin Jinglan understood what the principal wanted to ask.

Lin Jinglan said, "Principal, when the reporter interviewed me today, although what I said was not [-]% truthful. But there are some things I said from the bottom of my heart—"

Lin Jinglan looked sideways at the principal, "You really helped me a lot."

"You can help me persuade Lin Shan, help me pay tuition and living expenses in advance, transfer Teacher Li to teach other classes for fear of affecting my study, and provide faculty dormitory for Zhou Hui to live in temporarily..." Mentioning Zhou Hui, Lin Jinglan sighed again. But she soon recovered.

"Thank you principal, I appreciate it."

Lin Jinglan took out a stack of brand-new ten-yuan notes, "Principal, I have manuscript fees for two papers, and now I have enough money. I will return the money you gave Lin Shan before. I am really tight on food stamps. I'll pay you back when I save enough."

The headmaster was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw Lin Jinglan's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but blushed, and quickly stretched out his hand to push back, refusing to accept Lin Jinglan's money.

He was willing to provide convenience for Lin Jinglan, all because he was optimistic that Lin Jinglan could bring benefits and honors to Qingshan Middle School. Out of a very selfish purpose, he did not expect to win Lin Jinglan's sincere gratitude.

The principal felt extremely ashamed.

Lin Jinglan also knew the reason why the principal helped her, but no matter what the principal's purpose was, since she did get the principal's help, she should be grateful.

She originally wanted to pay back the principal's money after publishing the third thesis and earning the manuscript fee, but once Zhou Hui left, she immediately lost part of her expenses, and she didn't have to reserve money for renting a house in the future.

Lin Jinglan insisted on putting the money into the principal's hands.

Ever since she walked into the gate of the city library, Lin Jinglan's whole body was tense, for fear of revealing her secrets.

Reporter Zou happily took pictures of Lin Jinglan, "Hold the book a little higher, that's it." "Turn your face a little bit, not only to look at the bookshelf, but also to allow the camera to capture your face."

After taking more than ten photos, reporter Zou felt that he could probably choose a good one, so he put the camera away and looked around for the staff in the library.

When Lin Jinglan saw Reporter Zou approaching the old man at the door of the reading hall, he couldn't help but feel bad.But Reporter Zou walked very quickly, and the principal also followed. Lin Jinglan had no time to stop her, so she had to bite the bullet and walk behind.

Reporter Zou said to the old man who was reading a book wearing presbyopic glasses, "Hello, I am a reporter from Qingshan Evening News, and I am interviewing."

"Have you been working as an administrator in this reading room?" Reporter Zou asked.

The uncle took off his reading glasses, looked at Reporter Zou, and nodded blankly.

Reporter Zou continued to ask, "Then you must see this student next to me often? How often does she come to the reading room?"

Reporter Zou was planning the interview script in his head. Lin Jinglan loved reading and had a wide range of interests. The librarian was very impressed with Lin Jinglan. During the interview, he said that this little girl would come to study every weekend and stay in the library for a whole day.

When the administrator learned that Lin Jinglan was the city champion in the pre-examination and had already published two papers, he was surprised at first, and then said that he believed that Lin Jinglan's achievements were inseparable from her daily efforts Yes, Lin Jinglan will always come to the library to study on time no matter it is windy or rainy, cold winter or hot summer...

Reporter Zou decided to write the interview in accordance with this tone, waiting for the uncle's answer, but saw Lin Jinglan staring at Lin Jinglan with a blank expression.

After a while, the uncle slapped his thigh, "Oh! I recognized this little girl. She came to the library not long ago to help the principal run errands to borrow books."

Reporter Zou and the principal were stunned at the same time, looking at the librarian in astonishment.

"I came here not long ago... What do you mean?" Reporter Zou asked incredulously, "Could it be that she only came once in total?"

The uncle shook his head and said, "It's not a trip."

Reporter Zou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the uncle say again, "One time to borrow books, one time to return books. There are two times in total."

The librarian continued, "Their headmaster is really capable of tossing people, so many books, let a little girl run back and forth on their backs. And they haven't borrowed them for a few days in total. Even if it's just for window dressing, let's put them on for a while. "
