Back to the third grade

Chapter 112

Uncle sent Lin Mei home and left. Mother Lin left him for dinner, and he said, "We can wait for two days for the meal. Isn't it time to apply for volunteering? You should discuss it with the child. I think Meimei did well in the exam. Apply for a good university! Then I will pay her tuition!"

Mother Lin didn't keep him any longer, so she put the fried pork ribs in a lunch box and asked him to take them home, "Take it back and give it to Taotao to eat."

Uncle was not polite, took the ribs and left.Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten ribs for a long time. Ever since he started to deliver vegetables to the supermarket, he took all kinds of vegetables home, but every day he only saw green vegetables on the table at home, stewed vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, mixed vegetables and steamed vegetables...

"Isn't it a pity that I can't finish it? If I didn't have time, I would sell boxed lunches on the street outside every day, for ten yuan a box!" When my aunt said this, her eyes were shining like gold!
Before selling lunch boxes, these dishes that cannot be thrown away can only be digested by themselves.People in the rental house have already eaten "love dishes", and they can eat whatever they want for 80 yuan a month.My aunt would bring two boxes of vegetables there every few days for them to cook and eat by themselves. Next time, pick out two small cabbages and put them in. Occasionally, there will be expensive vegetables such as winter squash and zucchini, but they are relatively rare. , Generally, what is cheap and what is available.For example, when cucumbers cost two cents a pound, my uncle said that he ate cucumbers at home for two months...

During dinner at night, Mother Lin asked Lin Mei: "How do you plan to report your volunteering?"

Lin Mei said, "I overestimated it myself, but I still went to school. Teacher Zhao said that the test papers are out now, and the teachers of each subject will guide us to check the questions. After checking the questions, the score will be more accurate."

Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and asked her to help Lin Mei come up with ideas. The responsibility was heavy, and she was a little afraid to say it.Just listen to the teacher.

"Anyway, the exams are over now, so I don't want to." Mother Lin held a piece of fried pork ribs for her and said, "Where do you want to go to play? I can take you there. I have worked for so long and haven't asked for leave yet. The director said that there are candidates in our family, so he can grant me half a month's leave, but it turned out to be useless. Why don't I ask for leave to take you out to play?"

Lin Mei really doesn't have much interest in going out to play. Let's put it this way, she has run outside enough before, and now she just wants to stay at home.But Mama Lin wanted to make her happy, and she didn't want to reject her intentions, so she said, "Let's rest for a couple of days, let's see."

Before dinner was finished, Zhou Jie called.

Mother Lin cleared the table and said, "Call your friends, you don't need to clean up." After a while, she brought her a can of mango juice and opened it for her to drink. Aren't you a little thirsty after eating?

"How did you do in the exam?" Lin Mei asked Zhou Yu with a smile, her voice shouldn't be too bad.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Very good. Are you going to school tomorrow? What time do you go?"

"Go." Lin Mei looked at her watch and said, "Nine o'clock." Last time they went too early with the admission ticket, Teacher Zhao complained, and he told them, "Next time you don't have to go back to school so early, nine o'clock Just come by ten o'clock."

Zhou Que said, "Then I'll be at nine too."

Speaking of what she saw and heard during the exam, Lin Mei said that they caught a cheater in the exam room.

"Is it from our school?" Zhou Yan asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Shouldn't it be?" If so, it would be a shame.There are students from any school in the examination room, and if it is said that the students of the first provincial college cheated in the college entrance examination room, the students of the first provincial province will be ashamed.

Zhou Que said: "We didn't catch it here." It's not that we didn't, but we didn't catch it.But if you don't catch it, you don't have it.

"Did you use that instrument to scan you?" Lin Mei asked curiously.

"Yes!" Zhou Que said, "My necklace was taken off, and I didn't wear it the next day."

Zhou Jie’s pierced ears have grown completely, and Zhou’s father is more open-minded now. He said that if she wants to get her ears pierced again, he will take her there. Let’s not go to the barber shop, but to the hospital, the hospital is clean.In order to comfort Zhou Hao, Zhou's father bought her a necklace for her to wear. It was a thin platinum chain, which could not be seen with the collar of the clothes, and Teacher Zhao didn't care.

"Also, He Qi's belts have all been taken off." Zhou Qin was very happy, and He Qi changed into a pair of elastic pants in the afternoon.

"It's stricter than our side. We just take off the clothes and see if it's a belt." Lin Mei said.

Although new anti-cheating methods are used, the specific operation is still decided by the invigilator.For example, in the first exam, the teacher asked people to take off the electronic watch, and did not ask to take off the watch the next day.

The two agreed to meet at school tomorrow, and just hung up the phone when another call came in, and it was actually from my aunt.

No matter what Lin Mei thought, it was impossible for her aunt to care about her exam, so she answered the phone and said, "Hello, aunt, what do you do?"

"Meimei, how did you do in the exam? I heard from your uncle that you did well in the exam, right? Then you don't need that book or anything? Give it to Taotao? Then I'll ask your uncle to move to your house right now. Right?" Auntie finished talking like a cannonball.

Lin Mei was a little unresponsive: "Huh? Come to move tonight?" On the other end of the phone, the aunt was arguing with her uncle, saying, "You won't just move back? You're so stupid! I'll go after eating this bowl of rice in a while." !"

The uncle said, "I won't go. You have to go by yourself. I've been tired for two days and I want to take a good rest today."

"How can you be tired if you just send it off? Are you going or not?"

"Don't go."

Lin Mei: "..."

The doorbell rang again, and Mother Lin came out of the kitchen and said, "You don't need to move, I'll open the door. Who is it?"

There were two more knocks on the door, and someone said, "I, Zhao Chunzhi."

It's Mama Lin's colleague.

Mother Lin quickly opened the door and let people in. Lin Mei also said to the phone, "Come on, there is someone at home" and then hung up the phone. If she dared to wait a little longer, her aunt should say, "Then Meimei, send it here ? Your uncle won’t move, and my aunt won’t be able to leave here.”

As soon as Aunt Zhao came in and saw Lin Mei, her eyes lit up, and she boasted: "Is this Meimei? This child is really tall! How nice!"

Lin Mei smiled brightly, "Hello, Auntie. Sit down, Auntie." She turned to pour water for someone.

"Don't be busy, don't be busy." Aunt Zhao took the water without drinking it, put it on the coffee table and said to Lin Mei, "I heard your mother said that you are a top student in the first province, right? You just finished the college entrance examination today, right?" ? Do you still want your book? Auntie’s child is two years younger than you, and just entered the first year of high school this year, so I want to borrow your book.”

Lin Mei said: "The books have been taken away by my uncle, and he took them all away in a car."

Mother Lin's reaction was also very fast, and she quickly explained to others that Uncle Lin Mei drove Lin Mei off for two days, and on the last day of today, she had already agreed to give Lin Mei's books and papers to her cousin. He is one year younger and will take the college entrance examination next year, so after sending Lin Mei back today, he didn't eat at her house, and left after moving books and papers.

Although Aunt Zhao was a little regretful, she immediately said, "Then your nephew won't need it after the college entrance examination next year, right? Let's make an agreement, you will keep it for my children!"

Mother Lin nodded again and again: "Keep it, keep it."

After sending Aunt Zhao away, Mother Lin closed the door and said to Lin Mei with a smile, "Thanks to your quick response."

Lin Mei wanted to say that the one who reacted quickly should be the aunt...

"Auntie called just now..." She was about to talk to Ms. Lin when the phone rang again, and Ms. Lin picked it up, "Old Wang? What's the matter? Oh, oh, Meimei's book has already been given to my nephew. , my nephew... why would I lie to you! My brother's son! Yes, yes, one year younger than my daughter, right... right? That is, he will take the college entrance examination next year, right... So what, I just promised Zhao Chunzhi For her son, no... yes, yes, we are good, yes, yes..."

Mama Lin spent 10 minutes on the phone with Xiao Er, hung up the phone with dry mouth, picked up the water that was poured for Aunt Zhao just now, and drank it all. book."

Lin Mei just thought it was funny and amusing.

But after answering seven or eight calls in one night, she didn't find it fun at all.

At nine twenty, my aunt really came by herself on a tricycle.Uncle really didn't come. "He lay down after eating and said he was sleepy!" My aunt was furious.

Lin Mei and Lin's mother quietly moved the books and papers down like thieves, for fear that those people who called just now would accidentally bump into them.Thanks to Lin Mei's good habits, the books and papers she brought back from school were sorted and put in boxes by date. She did it for her own convenience when looking for it, and it is also convenient for her to carry it now.

After moving, my aunt said that Shen was dead, "I still want Meimei to be sent there."

Lin Mei: ...

My aunt is really an honest person.

As soon as the books and papers were removed, Lin Mei's room seemed to be suddenly empty.It was the first time she discovered that her desk was so big, there was such a big space under the bed, and the room seemed to be a little bigger.There used to be several cardboard boxes stacked against the wall and behind the door.

Even her bookcase is empty, only a few famous books that seem to be bought in elementary school are left.

Lin Mei came in with a basin of water to wipe the bookcase and the table, and even dusted the corners behind the door by the way.

Mother Lin came in and told her to stop, looked at her room and said, "Why do I think your bookcase seems a little low?"

Lin Mei looked at the bookcase. There used to be boxes on top of the bookcase.Once it was emptied, it seemed that the bookcase was more than ten centimeters lower.

The empty house made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Mother Lin came in after ten o'clock and saw that Lin Mei was still cleaning up, "Are you not tired just after the exam today? Do you not rest? What are you doing here?" Walking over to see, the bookcase is almost full again. But it's all comics.

"I bought them all before." Lin Mei said with nostalgia after reading the five-volume set of Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Daughter of the Nile.

Mother Lin said, "I remember you started buying comics secretly in elementary school, and you hid them in the closet when you bought them."

Lin Mei also laughed. At that time, she thought that mother Lin would never find out if she hid it in the closet.But thinking about it now, she was really stupid back then.Mother Lin washes and collects clothes, and organizes her closet when the season changes. How could she not find her comics?It's just pretending not to know.

Mother Lin thought of Lin Mei's hard work from the third year of junior high school to now, so she didn't care about it, and said: "If you want to fix it, don't go to bed too late." After finishing speaking, she went out.

The next day, Lin Mei was a little late when she arrived at school.Although she arrived at [-]:[-], the classroom door has already been opened, and the sanitation has been cleaned.

I ran into Teacher Zhao in the corridor, and he asked her with a smile, "How did you do in the exam?"

Lin Mei also smiled and said, "It's okay."

"It's okay." Mr. Zhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be stressed. After the exams are over, you don't have to think about the rest. The next thing is to apply for volunteers. There is still something I haven't told you. Zheng Kai and the others came together to talk."

Mr. Zhao is talking about walking.

"Before I was afraid that it would affect your mood and performance, so I didn't tell you. There are extra points in the last physics competition, and a few of you can be recommended." Teacher Zhao threw a big thunder in the office.

Lin Mei was really taken aback, she really never thought about this happening.Is the competition awesome?No that's not the point.

Now, everyone's eyes are on Mr. Zhao.

Teacher Zhao nodded to them, and said in a tone of "Yes, you are the lucky ones today", "Lin Mei, Zheng Kai, Tu Hai, you can all be recommended."

Everyone greeted Teacher Zhao with their mouths. If it is true that pies will fall from the sky, it would be too exaggerated to drop three in one go.

but.

Teacher Zhao first pointed to Tuhai and said, "Tuhai, I hope you can think about it carefully. Because the one who is willing to recommend you is H University. I think with your grades, you should be able to enter a better school than H University."

There's an "oh, back to reality" kind of coolness to all of them.

Lin Mei was the most courageous of the three, because she dared to be the first to ask, "Ms. Zhao, which schools are you willing to recommend to us?"

Yes.Walking is exciting enough, but if the school is not so satisfactory, then they don't need this spot.Tu Hai and Zheng Kai also immediately looked at Mr. Zhao.

Teacher Zhao smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Lin Mei, took out a notebook from the table and opened it, "Lin Mei, you are a D major, and Zheng Kai is a C major."

really.The three of Lin Mei looked at each other in blank dismay. The schools they wanted to apply to were not these three, and it could be said that there was a certain gap between them and their psychological expectations.Lin Mei immediately gave up her enthusiasm for walking.Both Zheng Kai and Tu Hai felt it was a pity, if they had known...

"If I had known, I guess you wouldn't have worked so hard for the college entrance examination." Teacher Zhao put down the notebook and sighed, "Don't blame the teacher, the teacher is really good for you. Our school used to recommend you every year, but if you tell us in advance, you don't care Whether it’s a student or a parent, those who think it’s about the same will be recommended, and few people will continue to take the college entrance examination. I feel a pity for many children.”

He has a particularly deep affection for the first class of this class.There was no shortage of good students before, but it is rare for him to like this class so much.Especially these few top students, they are rare good children in the class he has led for nearly ten years.His grades may not be the best, but they all made him want to do his best to help them.

That's why Mr. Zhao dared to hide the fact of the recommendation, and got extra points.He didn't say anything about what he thought would hinder the performance of these children.Even if he knew that this would probably be hated by these students and their parents, he still felt that he was doing the right thing.

Teacher Zhao patted the table and stood up, and sent Lin Mei and the others out, "Okay, the teacher told you all. There are still a few days until you apply for the volunteer, and you should discuss it with your family when you go back. However, I suggest you Estimate the score first, and after the score is estimated, see which grade you are in, and then consider this. In fact, it is not a pity to recommend this at all. To put it bluntly, it is a university admission letter. If you can enter a better school than this university, It would be a pity to give up."

After coming out of the office, the three of them were not angry at Teacher Zhao's concealment.

Lin Meixian said: "Teacher Zhao took a risk in doing this. He is also doing it for our own good. If I had known about the recommendation earlier, I probably wouldn't have fought so hard..."

it's out of the question.She is doing it all over again, why not puzzle?
But I want to say this at this time, so as to make things right for Mr. Zhao.

Both Tuhai and Zheng Kai nodded.Zheng Kai said, "Just go back and tell your parents that you only found out about it today."

Tu Hai spread his arms and said with a smile: "It's easier for me, and I won't take that quota." He overestimated himself, and his goal was to put B or C. Needless to say, H, he wanted it from the very beginning. Did not consider.

After the three of them talked about walking, they talked about extra points.

Speaking of conscience, Zheng Kai said: "It's still a plus."
