Reborn Scholar

Chapter 39

In a flash, it's been a month since school started.

Meng Shi had already memorized all the English vocabulary in high school. In fact, there are three foreign languages ​​in the college entrance examination, English, Japanese, and Russian. Choose one. Of course, this is related to the choice of major in the future university.

There is no doubt that Meng Shi must be English. With her language talent, she has worked hard on English for so many years. If she is asked to learn another foreign language, she will cry to death.

Life in high school was much easier than Meng Shi imagined.

The only thing is that it is not convenient to contact Han Cheng.I can only call Han Cheng when I go home on weekends.

It is now the second half of 93, and sure enough, the real estate bubble in Qiongdao burst after a central document was issued.

Then countless real estate companies withdrew one after another...

Those who got out early made a lot of money, but those who didn't get out in time were all trapped to death.

There are a lot of bad debts in the bank, and there are unfinished buildings everywhere. Qiongdao, which was once in full swing, now looks really devastated.

Meng Shi asked Han Cheng to help her buy a seaside villa in Tianya City at the right time, planning to save it for future vacations.

At the same time, Han Cheng also told her that what she said before was looking for an Internet project similar to Netscape, and now a software made by two students at Stanford in country M is very popular, but due to the influx of many netizens into the university network The pressure on the university network is huge. In order to continue to develop and improve the software, the two students can only set up a company.One of the students is Chinese.

Meng Shi's eyes lit up.

I made it clear to Han Cheng that I am determined to invest in this. I don't need to take away the control, but I want as many shares as possible.

Not long after, Han Cheng told her that she can get up to 40 shares, but the two founders have the priority to recover the shares in the future.

Meng Shi grinned from ear to ear, of course, of course, she wanted this stock to speculate, so why keep it in her hand.

After readily agreeing, she didn't care about it.

Cough, she is not someone with big ambitions, what she wants to do most is to travel around, and then write some novels when inspiration strikes.In short, she likes a quiet and easy life.

In the mid-term exam, Meng Shi changed from the second in the grade when he entered the school to the first in the grade, and of course he was also the first in the class.However, this is also inseparable from her diligence.High school knowledge is much more difficult than junior high school.Especially in physical chemistry, more work is required.

In a flash, it is New Year's Day.

Every class has a New Year's Eve party.

Each student paid two yuan for the class fee, and more than 100 yuan is not a small amount.

Although inflation and prices have started to soar now, it is still far behind compared to later generations.

The class fee is kept with Zheng Xiao, the deputy monitor. It is the deputy monitor's responsibility to buy things and decorate the classroom. The monitor and the party secretary are responsible for collecting programs.

Meng Shi definitely didn't want to perform.

She sings so-so, and she still has some self-knowledge.

Because many people are shy and unwilling to put on a show, there is no other way. The show has to be apportioned according to the dormitory, and each dormitory has at least one show.Because of Liang Bing's piano solo in Meng Shi's dormitory, she was so happy that she didn't have to do anything.

After the evening self-study get out of class, Meng Shi packed up his things and wanted to go back to the dormitory, but Zheng Xiao still hadn't left.

The next morning, come to morning self-study.

She came first, and then Zheng Xiao also came.

"Meng Shi, I put the money with you last night." Zheng Xiao said.

Meng Shi was taken aback for a moment, then she seemed to remember something, and looked at Zheng Xiao coldly.

"What money?" Meng Shi said lightly.

"Class fee, I put it in your drawer last night." Zheng Xiao said directly.

"Put my drawer in?" Meng Shi raised his eyebrows, "A desk drawer? How come I don't know when it happened?"

"After you left last night, I thought it was not safe to put it in my drawer, so I put it in your drawer." Zheng Xiao said confidently.

Meng Shi was speechless.

The current desks are different from those in junior high school and primary school. The opening is not on the side, but on the top, and the board of the desktop can be lifted.

Meng Shi opened the drawer and let Zheng Xiao see, "Where did you put it, I didn't see it."

"No way!" Zheng Xiao immediately turned pale with shock, and then began to rummage through boxes and chests to find money.

After digging through all the things in Meng Shi's drawer, he still didn't see the money.

Zheng Xiao's face was extremely ugly, "Isn't it stolen?"

Meng Shi just glanced at her indifferently, "How do I know?"

"But...but I put you in the drawer last night." Zheng Xiao was on the verge of crying.

Deng Yang, the boy on Zheng Xiao's right, hurriedly said, "Look carefully again, maybe it's caught somewhere and didn't see it? Don't worry."

Meng Shi simply pulled the stool and leaned it against the wall, completely making room for Zheng Xiao.

Liang Bing also came over, "It's almost time for class, the English teacher will be here soon, what are you doing?"

Zheng Xiao was about to cry, "The class fee is gone."

Liang Bing frowned, "Why didn't they disappear?"

"It was put in Meng Shi's drawer, but it disappeared."

Liang Bing looked at Meng Shi, "Didn't you see Meng Shi?"

Meng Shi glanced at Liang Bing indifferently, "I didn't see it. I don't even know when the deputy squad leader put the manuscript fee in my drawer. I'm also curious."

Zheng Xiao has already started to cry.

Liang Bing comforted Zheng with a smile, and then looked at Meng Shi, "Don't be angry, it's better to explain clearly what's going on."

Meng Shi didn't bother to pay attention to them.

She has already remembered.

In the past, too.If it wasn't for Zheng Xiao's performance today, she would have forgotten about it.

At the beginning, her family was not rich, and more than 100 yuan was not a small amount of money. She didn't know what to do when something like this happened. Then, with Zheng Xiao pretending to be pitiful, she still spent her living expenses and buying books. All the money was saved and Zheng Xiao was given 30 yuan.

Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous.

Liang Bing asked softly, and asked Zheng Xiao to repeat the matter.

Then, Liang Bing looked at Meng Shi, "You came first in the morning, didn't you see any money in the drawer?"

Meng Shi raised his eyebrows, "I didn't see it."

"Zheng Xiao, you are too. Why did you put the money in Meng Shi's drawer?" Liang Bing accused.

"I... I thought it would be safer to put it in her drawer..."

Meng Shi didn't want to sneer at all, and was really speechless by Zheng Xiao's words.

The drawers are not locked, why is it safer to put them in her drawers?What's the point!
Things just froze.

After self-study in the morning, Liang Bing asked all the class leaders to come over and stay together, and asked Meng Shi to stay too.

"Let's study the work fee." Liang Bing said.

The other class cadres have also heard about the loss of class fees, and they are not in a good mood.After all, this is a personal mistake, so we can't let the whole class lose money.

"I...I also want to pay, but I can't come up with so much money. My family is too poor, and I even borrow money for my education. My grades are poor, otherwise I will go to work It's too late. My mother wouldn't let me go to school, so I cried again and again..." Zheng Xiao said, crying.

At this time, technical secondary schools and vocational high schools are more popular than ordinary high schools.Such as electricity, post and telecommunications, etc., after school, it will be distributed, and you can make money immediately.Correspondingly, the high scores of good secondary vocational schools are even much higher than those of No. [-] secondary schools.

What Zheng Xiao said was the truth, she didn't get into a technical secondary school, so she came to high school.

Hearing what Zheng Xiao said, everyone fell silent.

"How about...how about we scrape together and advance some money? We can't catch the thief right now," said Wang Shuo, the sports committee member.

Liang Bing looked at the class cadres, everyone had different expressions.

More than 100 yuan. There are 11 people in total, the squad leader, deputy squad leader, league secretary, sports committee, and class representatives of each subject, and the average score is 11 yuan each.

Liang Bing was silent for a while, and said, "I'll take 30 yuan personally. The rest will be shared equally. Meng Shi, the incident happened at your place, so you should also share. Depending on your usual expenses, it should be the same. Not bad for that few bucks."

Everyone looked at Meng Shi.

In fact, some people still have doubts about Meng Shi. After all, she came before Zheng Xiao in the morning. If she hid the money and said she didn't see it...

Meng Shi glanced at these people indifferently, "It's better to report this matter to the school security office. There are thieves in the school, which has a bad impact. Moreover, the school locks the gate at a fixed time at night, and the security guards are also responsible." Come up and take a look around, maybe you will find something. If it doesn’t work, just talk to the police station for security.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different.

Liang Bing frowned, "Such a trivial matter, don't you need to report it? Although it is said that thieves should not be tolerated, the reputation of our class will be damaged in this way. It is said that there are thieves in our class, and we are not hated by other classes." die?"

"That's right, I don't want to go out and be pointed at by people, saying that I belong to the thief class."

"Yeah, everyone's pointing eyes are disgusting."

Meng Shi chuckled, "If you don't pursue it this time, if you don't investigate thoroughly, there will be thieves next time. Does it have to be like this every time?"

Zheng Xiao sobbed and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't keep the class fee well. Everyone will help me pay for it today, and I will slowly change it to everyone. I will definitely pay it back!"

Everyone was embarrassed, and quickly comforted Zheng Xiao.

Meng Shi had a half-smile and didn't speak again.

"Meng Shi." At this moment, Qi Chuan's voice came from the door.

Meng Shi took a look and walked over, "Why are you here?"

"Here's something for you." After saying that, Qi Chuan stuffed her with a thick stack of papers.

The corner of Meng Shi's mouth twitched, and he took a look, "Is this your paper?"

"En." After Qi Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey wait, have you eaten yet?"

"Going."

"Wait for me, I'll go too." Meng Shi quickly ran back to his seat, put the paper in the drawer, and was about to leave.

"Meng Shi, we haven't discussed yet?" Liang Bing said with a smile suddenly, and then glanced at Qi Chuan outside the door.

Meng Shi became impatient, "It's fine for you to discuss how to solve it, what do you want me to do?"

"Meng Shi, everyone is just helping Zheng Xiao, you don't have to be so unfeeling, right?" Liang Bing was usually very gentle, but now she didn't know why she was crazy to say such words.

Meng Shi was surprised for a moment, and then he was relieved. What's the difference between early and late? Didn't she expect this moment to come a long time ago?

She glanced at Liang Bing lightly, "Is it heartless if I want to call the police? You tolerate and indulge the thief like this, is tolerance or forgiveness? It is really noble, but unfortunately I can't do it."

"Meng Shi, treat it as the money I borrowed from you, and I will pay you back." Zheng Xiao burst into tears.

Meng Shi looked at the students present coldly, and was too lazy to say anything.

"Okay, Zheng Xiao, there's no need to say more. At worst, I'll pay 50 yuan, and you will share the rest equally." Liang Bing said boldly.Looking at Meng Shi again, "It's fine if you don't want to pay Meng Shi, it's not your business."

"You guys, I'll call the police as soon as I go down. You want to calm down, and I don't want to give the thief a second chance. Oh yes, and by the way, I'm also clearing myself of the suspicion." Meng Shi's voice was very weak, and there was no expression on his face. what expression.

"Meng Shi!" Zheng Xiao called her nervously, "Don't call the police, okay? Everyone will know that I lost my class fee."

Liang Bing also said, "I've called the police for such a trivial matter. If it can be found out, it will be fine. If it can't be found out, won't the whole school think there is a thief in our class?"

Meng Shi smiled, "Why can't we find out? Don't underestimate the police's ability to investigate."

"What's going on?" Qi Chuan walked in.

Liang Bing saw Qi Chuan and hurriedly said, "You can persuade Meng Shi. Our class fee was lost in her drawer. We said that everyone should make up and finish the New Year's Day party first, but Meng Shi refused. Hey, Originally, I wanted to pay for it all, but I don’t have that much money now, so I can only come up with 50 yuan at most. The rest should be collected by other class cadres, but Meng Shi insisted on calling the police.”

Qi Chuan glanced at Liang Bing, "Who is responsible for keeping the class fees?"

"...Me." Zheng Xiao is not lively at all now, nor is he as crazy as usual.

"How did you keep it in Meng Shi's drawer?" Qi Chuan frowned.

"When I went back to the dormitory at night, I was worried that it would be unsafe, so I put it in Meng Shi's drawer."

"You know?" Qi Chuan turned to look at Meng Shi.

Meng Shi sneered, "I wish I knew."

Qi Chuan glanced at Zheng Xiao again, "Look for another morning, if you still can't find it, call the police. The school will not condone this kind of behavior. As for whether the police can find it, you can rest assured that the old police can easily judge Is what we said a lie, and there are various investigative methods. If this small case can't be solved, they don't have to eat like the police. Let's go."

Qi Chuan turned and left after speaking.

Meng Shi glanced at the crowd, didn't bother to say anything, and went out with Qi Chuan.

Liang Bing's complexion was ugly, and Zheng Xiao's complexion was not much better.

Go out with Qi Chuan.

Meng Shi has not spoken.

In fact, she and Zheng Xiao got along very well in the past.Zheng Xiao is so cheerful, he can get along well with the whole class, and she is also the deputy monitor, Meng Shi also likes her.But after a long time of contact, Meng Shi became more and more speechless towards Zheng Xiao.

At that time, students would always repay the ten or two cents they borrowed from each other. After all, no one was rich.

When Meng Shi went to the cafeteria to eat, Zheng Xiao asked Meng Shi to buy a steamed bun for her.

He paid back the money to Meng Shi a few times before, but he didn't pay the money once or twice later, and Meng Shi didn't care.But again and again, Zheng Xiao got worse.Later, she often borrowed fifty cents from Meng Shi, and sometimes she didn't pay it back.After the class fee incident, Zheng Xiao borrowed money from her more often.

Later, I borrowed five yuan from Meng Shi.It's been more than a month and I haven't returned it, and it's going to be the winter vacation. Because Meng Shi has done this too many times, he feels uncomfortable, so he asks Zheng Xiao for it.

Zheng Xiao said every time that I would pay it back, but he kept procrastinating until before the winter vacation.

The most speechless time for Meng Shi was when Zheng Xiao borrowed a set of clothes from her.It dragged on for three months without returning it, and finally told Meng Shi directly that the clothes were lost, otherwise she would pay Meng Shi the school uniform?
Since then, Meng Shi has learned to refuse.

This is probably the most useful thing Meng Shi learned from Zheng Xiao.In the past, she just couldn't refuse people, which made Zheng Xiao even worse. Since then, she has learned to refuse.Of course, her relationship with Zheng Xiao was also estranged after that, but she didn't tell anyone about these things.

Seeing that Meng Shi remained silent, Qi Chuan asked in a low voice, "In a bad mood?"

Meng Shi chuckled, "It's nothing. Do you also think I'm stingy? Liang Bing said that she would pay 50 yuan per person, and if the rest of us shared it equally, it would be more than six yuan per person."

"You shouldn't come out." Qi Chuan's voice was still a little cold.

Meng Shi smiled wryly, "But they all think I should come out."

"Ignore them."

The two went to the cafeteria to eat together.At this time, it is rare for boys and girls to eat together.Therefore, the combination of the two has also attracted the attention of many people.

Meng Shi went to buy vegetables, and Qi Chuan bought steamed buns and porridge, so that he didn't have to wait in a lot of lines.

"Can you eat a steamed bun?" Meng Shi frowned.This steamed bun is not big.

"enough."

Meng Shi pursed his lips and didn't say much.

Back in the classroom after dinner, Meng Shi heard a piece of "good" news.

"Meng Shi, I found the money." Liang Bing said with a smile, "Zheng Xiao said she put the money in your drawer, but after thinking about it, she wrapped it in paper and put it in Deng Yang's drawer on the right. She remembered wrong."

"Oh." Meng Shi was indifferent and didn't respond.

Liang Bing glanced at Meng Shi with some embarrassment, "I didn't mean to blame you."

"Are you blaming me?" Meng Shi raised his eyebrows.

"……No."

The New Year's Day party was held as scheduled, and every class fee was recorded in the account and disclosed to the students in the class.Everyone says that Zheng Xiao is very conscientious, because the things he buys are very affordable, and he didn't spend a penny indiscriminately.

From that day on, Meng Shi had breakfast with Qi Chuan every day.

Two people divide the work, one queues up to buy vegetables, and the other queues up to buy steamed buns and porridge.

Meng Shi had to buy two more eggs every time.She ate one and gave Qi Chuan the other.

Originally, Qi Chuan disagreed and turned black.As a result, Meng Shi threatened that if she didn't eat it, she would send the eggs to their classroom!

Cough, although she has never been to Qi Chuan's classroom so far.

Qi Chuan compromised, but he didn't thank Meng Shi either.This made Meng Shi also heave a sigh of relief.

If Qi Chuan is really grateful to her, she can't bear it either.

After New Year's Day, it will soon be winter vacation.

After the final exam, Meng Shi wanted to take the quilt home. In fact, she had to bring the quilt home to change every month.The people in the dormitory didn't say anything about her behavior on the surface, but she knew that everyone said she was very cowardly in secret.She is obviously a rural girl, pretending to be a young lady.

Liang Bing is the county magistrate's daughter, but she doesn't have airs at all, her clothes are better than everyone's, and she doesn't do anything special about it.

That's right, Liang Bing is the daughter of the magistrate of County D.Once when the whole class was filling out the student files together, some students saw the name of Liang Bing's father, Liang Minsheng, and exclaimed: Isn't this the name of the county magistrate!
Liang Bing admitted shyly that it was his father.So, within a few days, it spread throughout the school.

"I'm going to take the quilt home again, how many quilts have you changed this semester?" said Tang Miao, another girl in the dormitory.

Meng Shi smiled, "I'm used to it."

Tang Miao curled her lips, "We're not that particular. Roll up the quilt and wrap it with a sheet and throw it on the bed. It's fine to dry it when the next semester comes. Hey Mengshi, I said that your habit is just like the eldest lady. Your family didn't use it before. Could it be a big landlord or something?"

Meng Shi nodded, "My ancestors were really big landlords. Although my grandfather and father's generation has already declined, I guess the habits of previous generations have been passed down to me." She joked half-truthfully. .

Tang Miao was surprised, "Really?"

At this time, the turbulent ten years have passed, and the landlords are no longer the objects of contempt.

Meng Shi smiled, "Actually, my great-grandfather, two generations up, can't be regarded as a landlord, but should be... a bandit."

"Bandits!" Tang Miao was shocked, and the other girls in the dormitory who were packing up were also very surprised, asking one by one.

At this time, Qi Chuan came.

Cough, I am ashamed to say that Qi Chuan saw her carrying the quilt back home in the first month after school, seeing how hard she was carrying the quilt, after that, Qi Chuan helped her carry the quilt to the On the side of the road, the one who sent her to the car...

At first she wanted to refuse, but then she was too lazy to refuse.In fact, this winter's quilt is very heavy, and the bed is covered with each other. She really can't lift it.

"The quilt isn't finished yet, so I can't stuff it in." Meng Shi coughed lightly.

Qi Chuan took a look at her, walked over and folded the quilt neatly.Seeing Meng Shi sighing again and again, this man is definitely a good man at home, and he is much more skilled in folding the quilt than her...

"Meng Shi is really lucky. Someone will help you carry things every time, unlike us, who have to carry things slowly by ourselves." Tang Miao laughed.

Meng Shi chuckled, "Isn't my height advantage insufficient? When I grow taller, I'm sure I can lift myself. Goodbye, sisters, and happy new year!"

When he left the dormitory, he ran into Liang Bing.

"Meng Shi is going back? Ask Qi Chuan to lift the quilt for you again, you are so impolite." Liang Bing joked.

Meng Shi smiled, "I can't be polite to him."

Liang Bing's eyes flickered, "Hehe, is that right? Just now my dad asked his secretary to help me move things. I think this is a girls' dormitory, and my dad's secretary is male... It's okay, actually, I just wanted my secretary to help me move things." Dad, take a look, I can do my own things, lest he say I can't grow up all day long."

Meng Shi blinked, "Well, I haven't grown up yet, and I can do it myself when I grow up. Let's find someone to help you for now, while you can still find someone to help you."

"That's right, next year Qi Chuan will take the college entrance examination. After he finishes the college entrance examination and leaves, you will have to do it yourself."

"That's right!" Meng Shi nodded.

Liang Bing looked at Qi Chuan again, "Do you still have to make up classes for the senior year? We are on vacation now. I heard that the senior year is not until the 28th?"

Qi Chuan nodded, "Yes."

Liang Bing smiled, "Come on, senior, you must get a good grade in the exam."

"En." Qi Chuan nodded again, then looked at Meng Shi again, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh, let's go."

"Then goodbye." Liang Bing smiled sweetly.

Meng Shi also returned a sweet smile.

Qi Chuan sent Meng Shi to the car and watched the car drive away before returning to school the same way.

In 94, it came like this.

On January 1th, the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is a holiday after the exam.

Two days later, on February 2st, the 1st of the twelfth lunar month, I went to school to get the notice.

The report card has been posted on the bulletin board, and everyone can see their grade results, and what is posted in the class is the class result ranking.

After a semester of unremitting efforts, Meng Shi kept his first place in the grade.It's not easy at all!
A large part of the reason is that many students with good grades in the senior high school entrance examination have gone to vocational schools, so the competition is not so fierce.Otherwise, the students of this era would really forget all about eating and sleeping. If Meng Shi had to relax a little, he would definitely be kicked out.

After getting the notice, Meng Shi went to Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School to find Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan is a science major, and Class [-] is the best class in science.

When Meng Shi went, he was surprised to see Liang Bing.

Because it was get out of class time, Liang Bing and Qi Chuan stood in the corridor, not knowing what to say.But Liang Bing smiled happily.

Meng Shi hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

Seeing Meng Shi coming, Liang Bing laughed first, "Meng Shi, you also came to find Qi Chuan?"

This is what it says...

When Qi Chuan heard the words, he immediately turned his head, looked at Meng Shi, and said nothing.

At this moment, Meng Shi saw Qi Chuan holding a few brand new reference books in his hands.

She smiled, and handed the paper bag in her hand to Qi Chuan, "This is some food made by my mother. I think it will bring you a little comfort to your suffering heart because you will have to suffer in school for a few days."

The corners of Qi Chuan's lips curled up, "Is it delicious?"

"That's a must. If I agree, can there be something bad?"

Qi Chuan smiled, his eyes smiled, "Okay."

"Squad leader, why are you here?" Meng Shi looked at Liang Bing again.

Liang Bing's smile was a bit forced, "There is a brother in our county party committee compound who finished the college entrance examination last year. He gave me all the reference books. I don't think I need them for the time being, so I gave them to Qi Chuan."

"Oh." Meng Shi glanced at the obviously brand-new reference book, and waved at Qi Chuan without saying anything, "I'm going back first. I'll report after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and I'll arrive around ten o'clock in the morning. Remember to pick me up at the door, or I will be crushed to death."

Qi Chuan smiled again, "Okay."

Meng Shi rushed back and waved his hand, not looking back.

Walking on the road, she couldn't help being a little funny.What are you doing?Demonstrating with Liang Bing?

She held her heart lightly, after the new year, will the transfer student who made her fall in love come back?
This time, she definitely won't be in so much pain anymore.
