Back to the third grade

Chapter 1

When I opened my eyes in the morning, the first thing I could smell was the aroma of fried dough sticks and fried dough cakes.

Lin Mei walked to the kitchen and saw deep-fried dough sticks, oil cakes and fried sugar cakes in the familiar old enamel basin, slightly hot soybean milk in the small milk pan next to it, and two tea eggs in the small bowl.

She sat down to eat and was in a daze, her mind was like a pot of glutinous rice.

The sun was shining outside, and she walked in the shadows, feeling like she was falling into a dream.Beside the flower bed is a row of sauces dried in large basins, covered with white gauze.Grandma Wang was working in the kitchen and yelled out the window, "Jiaojiao! Don't run around!"

A little girl's voice came from the other end of the alley: "Got it!"

Grandma Wang saw Lin Mei from the window: "Meimei, are you looking for your mother?"

Before Lin Mei could speak, Grandma Wang said, "You're just wearing this?"

She looked down at herself, an old apple green horizontally striped T, a pair of pure cotton sweatpants.

The flatness of the chest was so realistic that she stared at it for a long time.

"You don't even comb your hair?" Grandma Wang saw that the children in the courtyard looked like her own, she wiped her hands and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a comb."

At this time, Lin Mei felt so lost, and said quickly: "Grandma Wang, I came out to throw out the trash, I'll go home and comb."

Lin Mei rushed into the house like running 50 meters, rushed to the toilet, stared at the mirror with rust spots and scale for a while, then turned around and came out to sit on the sofa.

Definitely still dreaming.

Lin Mei listened to Grandma Wang's ponytail, and didn't even dare to take a look in the mirror. She changed her clothes, and the most important thing was that she put on that ugly-looking bra.She tidied herself awkwardly, not daring to stay in the room any longer, took the key and went out for the second time.

This is the old community where the Lin family used to live.It is a long and narrow alley, with three-storey old red brick buildings on both sides, where all the old workers of the textile factory live.

Out of the old building, there are new buildings that have been built for less than two years in front of the street. They are all six-story small buildings, a total of four buildings.

All the workers and family members of a factory lived in the courtyard. Lin Mei walked all the way, and greeted everyone she met: "Meimei, can you find your mother?"

Lin Mei nodded one by one, some of them could still recognize their names, and some of them had no memory at all.

When she reached the gate, she followed her own legs and turned into the canteen at the gate consciously.The person who looks at the canteen is an old man whose surname seems to be Tang.

Uncle Tang knew every child in the yard, and he didn't get up when he saw Lin Mei. He pointed to the freezer and said, "Take what you eat."

Lin Mei was still a little unresponsive, touched the pocket and said, "I don't have any money, sir, I'll buy it when I come back."

"Take it, just send the money over later." Uncle Tang slapped his legs with a big cattail fan, "Didn't you go to find your mother?"

Lin Mei gradually felt down-to-earth. In other words, she knew that this was no longer a dream.

Pushing open the sliding door of the freezer, a gust of cold air and white mist rushed towards her face. Lin Mei was stunned by the popsicles and ice creams that had become history in front of her, and looked at them with strange nostalgia.

"It's at the bottom." Uncle Tang said again, "It's a bit melted when it's delivered today, so I'll put it at the bottom, you can look it up."

Lin Mei followed the place pointed by Uncle Tang, and then saw a lot of little snowman ice cream.

She took one, and Uncle Tang said: "Okay, close it, the air-conditioning is gone." Then he took the fan and pointed at the old cardboard box under the freezer, "Throw it there."

Lin Mei threw away the wrapping paper, looking at the familiar little snowman, she couldn't bear to eat it. She still remembered that this kind of ice cream had a particularly strong milky taste.

"Uncle Tang, how much is this?" she asked.

"Fifty cents, wholesale forty cents." Uncle Tang said while watching the TV.

Fifty cents, what a conscience price.

Lin Mei crossed the road eating the nostalgic sorbet.

The textile factory was built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, this area was a wasteland. After the construction of a large factory, it became popular and gradually formed a district.However, after the reform and opening up, the textile mills gradually failed.

This road is called Textile Road. On one side of the road is the factory, and on the other side is the family courtyard.From the first textile factory to the eighth factory, the first textile factory became the general factory, and the eighth factory was later changed to excavators.

It's all gone now.

Lin Mei and his family belonged to the Fourth Textile Factory.

There are not many cars on the road, and there are few shops in this area. Although it is a big road, few cars pass here.

Lin Mei's mother works in the factory's library, which also doubles as an archive room, and there is an information office next to it with several 586 computers.

When Lin Mei crossed the road, the first thing she saw was the High School Attached to the Textile Factory.The textile factory has a kindergarten, a primary school, and an attached middle school.Lin Mei has come all the way since she was a child, and was admitted to the city's third high school in high school.

Speaking of the principal of the attached middle school, he is also a capable person.The principal is the youngest son of the former director of the textile factory. He lives at home and goes to university in Shanghai.After returning home, everyone thought that he was going to join the leadership team of the factory, but he devoted himself to serving the public, went to teach and educate people, and went to the attached middle school to become the principal.

Known as the small factory manager.It was because the other two sons of the factory manager were not around.When I went to the mountains and went to the countryside, the eldest and the second child are now one in Heilongjiang and one in Xinjiang.

The old people in the factory said that the little factory manager is a capable person.This is true.Textile factories have always been supported by policies. After all, a factory has tens of thousands of employees.Besides, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how many textile factories have factories and buildings, they can be sold for a lot of money.

It's just that the factory has always tied the workers to the factory, and whoever wants to buy the land has to be responsible for the placement of the workers. As a result, two "bosses" who wanted to buy the land were scared away.

The factory has become like this, but the small factory manager has been on the rise all the way.He turned the High School Attached to the Textile Mill into a prestigious school with the second highest enrollment rate in the city, and finally joined forces with the Provincial No. [-] Middle School.The small factory manager went to the provincial education department.Lin Mei remembered that the last time she heard from the small factory manager was that he was planning to move to the central government.

At this time, looking at the old gate of the attached middle school again, Lin Mei couldn't help but think of what the old man said, the small factory manager is indeed a capable person, the old man's words are indeed true.

"Why are you here?" Lin's mother got up quickly when she saw Lin Mei, pulled her under the electric fan, "fan quickly." Then she took the newspaper and slapped Lin Mei's sweaty forehead furiously.

Lin Mei glanced at the watch hanging on the wall, it was only 45:[-].Immediately, I felt that it was outrageous to be early, and I could also deduce that she woke up earlier.

If I knew I would go to bed so early, it would be a waste of time!

There are no good books in the library where Lin's mother works. There are only two rows of bookshelves. Most of them are so-called skill books that are extremely boring at first glance.Mother Lin said, "Go and play with the computer for a while. I'll get the key to open the door for you."

Lin Mei was naturally very interested when she heard about the computer.

Mother Lin was the only one in this room. She locked the door and took Lin Mei to the computer information room at the other end of the corridor. After opening the door, the room was dark and the air was not good with the curtains drawn.

Two rows of brand-new 586 squatted on the table. Lin Mei had the novelty of seeing antiques, but she didn't want to play at all.There is no network cable here, so she can check if she can access the Internet, but why can't she access the Internet?Do you miss 586?

Mother Lin said, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner so you can cool off here?" The computer information room is the only air-conditioned room on the three floors, and the boys in the car class like to come here after lunch. Ask for the key to come in and blow on the air conditioner to take a nap.

Lin Mei shook her head, what was she doing sitting in this room alone?
"Then you go home and watch TV." Mother Lin said.

After going out, Lin's mother gave Lin Mei ten yuan, "I will bring you fried chicken at noon, go back quickly, don't run outside in such a hot day, watch TV at home."

Lin Mei obediently waved goodbye to Mama Lin, feeling that she was really cute.I went downstairs and passed the tea room on the first floor. There was a personal weighing scale outside the tea room for some reason.She went up to weigh it, and saw that the pointer stubbornly stopped at the number "45".

Hehe, hehe, hehehehe

Lin Mei is really beautiful. You have to know how many years she has not been "55". In fact, most of her have stayed around "60"...

So when she saw "45", her first impression was: I was still so thin!
This is simply more exciting than winning the jackpot.

He abducted to Uncle Tang's canteen again, and turned all the money that Mama Lin gave into little snowmen to bring home.

At this moment, she must admit that such an incredible sci-fi story of going back in time happened to her.But the process is secondary, the result is the key.

The point is...

Lin Mei turned on the TV. Changhong's 25-inch large color TV had been in service in his home for ten years, and it was not broken when the LCD was replaced at home.It can also be taken out for emergency after the LCD TV is broken.

Journey to the West, My Fair Princess, The Legend of the New White Snake.

Lin Mei walked around and found that a station was showing growing pains, so she looked happily.

After the first episode, she killed four little snowmen, and the ones bought for ten yuan can last for two days.The phone at home suddenly rang, and she picked it up, "Hello."

"Lin Mei, have you finished your homework?" said a familiar voice on the phone, but whose name couldn't be remembered.

"... Homework?" Lin Mei's heart seemed to have suddenly fallen into a big black hole.

"You haven't written yet, have you? School is about to start!" The phone yelled.

"..." Lin Mei suddenly felt that, in fact, in addition to the benefits of going back in time, such as becoming 45 and eating a little snowman, there is also the eternal proposition of becoming younger.

It still has its downsides.

Lin Mei can still remember the key points at this time: "Did you write it?" She hurriedly asked the girl on the other end of the phone.

"There are only essays left." The girl on the other end of the phone sighed, "I don't want to write...a total of eleven..."

Lin Mei didn't care to cry over the bad news anymore, and immediately said, "Lend me to see!"

"..." The girl was silent.

Lin Mei remembered that she hadn't remembered who this girl was until now. Of course, it was impossible to find her home. Now asking the girl's name is even more ridiculous, and said decisively: "Come to my house, I will treat you to ice cream. I still have a few This composition paperwork is newly bought, and all of them are sample essays."

"Okay then, I'll see you in the afternoon," the girl said.

Lin Mei breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone and went straight to her room.

The room was still the same as when she left in the morning.On the bed were unfolded towels and the clothes she had taken off.Next to the bed is a desk, on which are her textbooks and a school schedule covered with stickers.

Lin Mei recognized it for a long time, but she had no choice but to admit that she could no longer recognize the cartoon on the sticker, it seemed to be an Indian saint.

The summer homework was quickly found. There were two [-]-size notebooks with summer homework written. The green one was mathematics and geometry, and the pink one was Chinese.

Both were written in half a page.She probably did it for fun after sending it out.

In addition, she dug out all the notebooks, beautifully printed little books from boutiques.Because she can't remember where she wrote down her summer homework.But what is certain is that the most likely ones are in seven or eight notebooks.

After a quick look around, I found it.What made her admire herself was that she wrote down her homework and back to school time together, with comments on it.

Return to school on August 8, hand in homework and clean up. On August 27, wear school uniforms, hold meetings, and distribute books. On August 8, the class officially started.

Lin Mei went back to the living room to get the newspaper. The date on it was August 8st.If the newspaper was yesterday, today is the 21nd.

She has up to six days to finish her homework.

Mother Lin opened the door with the vegetables she bought at noon, and first went to the living room where the TV was placed to take a look. She didn't see her daughter, and shouted, "Where are you?"

"In the house." Lin Mei shouted.

Mother Lin followed the sound and was about to give the fried chicken legs she bought to her daughter, when she saw her writing at her desk.

Mother Lin didn't want to disturb her daughter's study, so she asked, "Can I finish it?"

Lin Mei didn't expect her mother to be so open-minded at this time, she nodded and said, "It should be possible."

"Then you should work hard." Mother Lin said, "I'll call you when I cook."

Lin Mei didn't even bother to raise her head. She had already thought about it, and she drove away the easy ones first, such as copying English words that don't require brains. When the girl comes in the afternoon, she will deal with the two books .For the rest, there are [-]-page basic workbooks for Chinese, mathematics, and English. It is best to ask the girl to borrow them.

She simply flipped through it this morning and found that English has become the easiest, and Chinese and mathematics have become bibles.Mathematics estimates can still be rescued, and the questions will be solved again, but Chinese is really facing each other, and I am speechless and tearful.

After cooking, Mama Lin came in to call for someone. Seeing that her daughter was still working hard, she boasted, "I think your writing is better than before." Mama Lin pointed to Lin Meimei's beautiful English characters and said.

Lin Mei copied from 10:30 until now, her wrists are sore and her fingers are stiff.The homework requires not only copying the words, but also copying the phonetic symbols and explanations, which is a waste of time!Set her on fire.

The lunch was hearty. Mama Lin fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mixed with steamed eggplant, and stewed winter melon meatball soup.There are two fried chicken legs in front of Lin Mei.

Holding the job bowl, Lin Mei said, "Mom, my classmates are coming this afternoon."

"Is that Zhou Qing?" Mother Lin said.

Lin Mei vaguely remembered that Zhou Qing was her elementary school classmate, she nodded vaguely, "Let's do homework together."

Mother Lin: "There is ice cream in the refrigerator. Remember to give it to your classmates. If you are late, leave her for dinner. There is also watermelon at home. I will cut it for you before I leave. Remember to take it out for your classmates. Is there any Coke at home?" ?”

Of course, Lin Mei didn't remember whether there was any Coke at home at this time.

Mother Lin put down her chopsticks to look, and put a few cans of Coke on the table after a while, "I'll buy another box next time." She just picked up the chopsticks when she suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, there is still yogurt in the refrigerator."

She put down her chopsticks and went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator. When she came back, she said with satisfaction, "There are still a few bags of yogurt in the refrigerator, for your classmates to drink."

After lunch, Ms. Lin drove her back to do her homework, and Lin Mei, who was used to washing dishes after meals, was sent back to the house very unaccustomed. Ms. Lin said, "I don't need you, go do your homework."

With a sense of guilt, Lin Mei listened to her mother washing dishes in the kitchen and continued to copy her words.

After lunch, Mother Lin took a nap for half an hour. At 02:30, Lin Mei heard the alarm clock ringing in the next room.Mother Lin came out to wash her face and was about to go to work. She came in to see that she was still writing, and said, "Write for a while, get up and take a walk, eat an ice cream, don't get tired."

Within 10 minutes of Mama Lin's departure, someone knocked on the door.

Lin Mei hurried to open the door. The moment she opened the security door and saw the girl's face outside, her memory seemed to be activated!
She remembered who this girl was!

"The week is exhausted!" she yelled.

Zhou Hao was sweating from the heat, and her face was flushed from the sun. She was half a head taller than Lin Mei.Lin Mei remembered her. Although she had the same pronunciation as her elementary school classmate Zhou Qing's name, her character "Qing" meant the beautiful sound made by musical instruments.Because it is extremely difficult to write, Zhou Jie complained more than once about the name her father gave her.

However, she changed schools when she was in the third grade of junior high school. I heard that she transferred to another school. That school is next to a good high school, and she can be moved there by then.It's the way to go if you fail the exam.

The two never saw each other again.

Sitting in Lin Mei's hut, the two of them held a little snowman in each hand, and Zhou Yu asked, "How is your writing?" She came over and bent down to look at the notebook she had laid out on the desk, and exclaimed, "Have you practiced calligraphy? It's beautifully written."

Lin Mei said, "Bring me your homework."

Zhou Yu opened the denim schoolbag, took out two homework books inside, and said, "You'd better write it yourself."

Lin Mei could think of more and more.Zhou Jie may be due to her father's strict control, sometimes saying such "unpopular" words, so she is not very popular in the class.In fact, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu are not the best of friends, but they sat at the front and back tables and became friends after changing seats in the second semester of the second grade.

Lin Mei is no longer a child, so of course she doesn't find Zhou Jin's words harsh. She nodded and said, "Next time."

There is still half of the transcription of English words left, and if I catch up, I can finish it tonight.Lin Mei wanted to borrow Zhou Qu's homework, and she would bring it to school on the 27th.

Zhou Yu nodded: "Okay, I checked everything."

Lin Mei doesn't know what will happen after Zhou Jie, but she thinks that if she is so serious that she even checks her summer homework, she will definitely achieve a lot in the future.

Then Lin Mei did her homework in the house, and Zhou Jin watched TV in the living room.

This kind of way of having a friend come and let her play by herself is unimaginable to Lin Mei, but it seems quite reasonable now, and it is not surprising, and Zhou Hao will not be angry "I am here and you will not accompany me".Lin Mei piled Coke and yogurt on the tea table for her, as well as watermelon, and asked her to take ice cream by herself.

She really didn't have enough time, and she would feel ashamed if she couldn't turn in her homework.

Zhou Jie was watching TV in her living room and said she was leaving at 05:30 in the afternoon. Lin Mei sent her out. Zhou Jie smiled and said, "I didn't talk to you today, we will talk to you at school."

Lin Mei said goodbye: "Thank you, be careful on the road, watch out for cars and traffic lights!"

Zhou Qing smiled, "I'm leaving."

Lin Mei stood there, wondering if what she said just now was really strange...
