Back to the third grade

Chapter 37

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu stood at the intersection talking and talking, the strangers who hadn't seen each other for a long time dispersed, and the two became more and more familiar with each other.

Lin Mei also put her schoolbag in Zhou Jin's car basket, took out the notice and said, "I haven't read it carefully just now, we can report together when the time comes."

The name and date of the notice were handwritten. When she saw the reporting time, Lin Mei was stunned and showed it to Zhou Yu: "Why is the report on August [-]nd?" Lin Mei's heart sank before she finished speaking. She remembered a not-so-good thing...

Zhou Que glanced at the date on the notice and said, "I remember, it seems that this year we will have military training..."

Yes, military training.This is what Lin Mei remembered just now.

"Report on the [-]nd, how many days of military training?" Lin Mei asked in fear.

Zhou Que said, "Usually two weeks..."

Both girls soon discovered how difficult the road ahead of them was.

"It's over, military training... I heard that military training requires a haircut..." Lin Mei said, grabbing her ponytail.

Zhou Yu also had a hairstyle with a braid on the back of his head, and was shocked when he heard it: "Really?"

Lin Mei is not sure, but she heard that some schools have to cut hair, she nodded and said: "I heard that some schools cut hair. Some schools don't have to cut hair if they are not strictly controlled."

Zhou Hao took a car, and the two seriously discussed: "What do you need to prepare for military training? How to train?"

Lin Meimei has experienced it anyway, and said with fingers: "Sunscreen is a must, preferably with the highest sun protection value. There are also Fengyoujing, Huoxiangzhengqi water, this is to prevent heatstroke, and prevent diarrhea and colds." Yes. It’s also easy to get trauma, although the school definitely has an infirmary, but it’s better to bring some band-aids or something.”

There are also mosquito coils and Liushen.Mosquito coils are the simplest and cheapest at two yuan a box.Liushen can also prevent mosquitoes and repel odors, which is a must.

There is also food and drink, so you can’t bring more. Bring some ham sausage, mustard greens, hillbilly eggs, which don’t seem to be available now.

Lin Mei talked a long list, and said, "I don't know if it's inconvenient to take a bath, so bring a few more underwear and socks."

Zhou Yu said: "I asked my dad to inquire about it, to see if the provincial one needs military training, whether it is strict or not." The two said goodbye, and agreed to report together on August [-], and then see if Dad Zhou will be allowed to do it again. Borrow a car or something.

After Lin Mei broke up with Zhou Yu, she hesitated and went to the hairdresser on the side of the road, and had someone cut her a boy's head for ten yuan.Mother Lin was startled when she came home at noon, "Why did you cut it like this? How good your long hair used to be. You have kept it for two years."

Lin Mei showed the notice to Mama Lin, and Mama Lin cheered again.Lin Mei has calmed down, but Lin's mother is still easily agitated, she took the notice and called her grandma again, "Yes, the notice has come down, just to save one, yes, let them report, I see ...August [-]nd..." Mother Lin turned her head and asked Lin Mei, "Why did you report so early?"

Without waiting for Lin Mei to answer, Mother Lin quickly turned her head and said to grandma, "Yes, why is it so early? That's right, I'll go, I'll definitely go with her, yes, okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mei happened to tell Mother Lin about the possibility of military training, "Maybe I have to cut it over there, I want to cut it early to save trouble." And cutting it there is a big problem with craftsmanship.If the cut is ugly, it will be too late to cry.Anyway, the craftsmanship of the small shop at the door is trustworthy, isn't this neatly cut?

Lin Mei found out for the first time that she had an oval face, not a round face.The short hair set off her pointed chin very well, and even her neck seemed long.

Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Mei felt that she could be described as slim and slim, and the lines of her collarbone and shoulders were also beautiful.

Mother Lin saw that Lin Mei was good everywhere, and she was startled when she first came back, and now she said: "The cut is pretty good, and your short hair looks good too, and you look thinner again."

Mother Lin already knew about Lin Mei's weight loss recently.She felt that Lin Mei didn't need to lose weight, but the little girl loved beauty, so she didn't say much.

It's going to be reported in a week.Mother Lin took Lin Mei to go shopping. According to Lin Mei's instructions, she bought a few bottles of Liushen and mosquito coils, as well as sunscreen with a maximum SPF of 45, as well as shampoo and body wash.

Tutoring for Tao Tao probably won't work. If Lin Mei really wants to go to military training, then she definitely can't tutor Tao Tao.Lin Mei decided to help Tao Tao finish his homework before going to report.

Tao Tao was surprised to find that his good days were over!
From the next day, he could no longer watch movies.At seven o'clock in the morning, his sister would wake him up, eat and brush his teeth, and then his sister would clean up and let him write Chinese in the room.

Lin Mei is very democratic, "write what you know first. Fill in the blanks in the reciting paragraphs and the author's name in this kind of textbook. You can find the book and copy it. I will come to you after I finish the work." Talk about other topics."

For example, she has to wash the dishes in the morning, clean up the kitchen, sweep and mop the floor, and go out to buy vegetables and come back to clean up. This time is from eight to nine twenty. He also ticked off the content in the textbook, so let's copy it.

Tao Tao was terrified to see that his sister had memorized all the texts, flipping through the questions and ticking out the answers. One day he was mentally retarded and saw that he had more time, so he wrote a few more questions. His sister When she came back, she smiled slightly, touched his head and said, "Not bad." It seemed that she underestimated him.

Then from the next day, I drew a few more questions for him 〒▽〒.

Lin Mei said that there is nothing difficult about Chinese, Tao Tao is not unintelligent, she found out as soon as she taught it, Tao Tao's brain is very sharp, he can remember what he said once, next time.It's no wonder that when she had studied for a lifetime and came back from a foreign country to find a salary of 6000 yuan, he was already earning [-] yuan a month.It can be seen that gold shines everywhere.

He's just never pushed hard in this way before.

Lin Mei eagerly decided to help her good brother.

Tao Tao soon discovered that he was studying Chinese in the morning and mathematics, geometry, physics and chemistry in the afternoon. In the evening, his sister would make up English for him. If she couldn't learn it, she would scold him with English. calling me stupid..."

Lin Mei nodded, and said kindly: "Then I will change the word next time."

Every day, his only chance to watch TV is: news broadcast 〒▽〒.

Tao Tao sat weakly on the sofa, staring blankly at the two announcers on the TV and said "...the barley harvest this year..." He said: "Sister...let's go back and read... "He's really not interested in watching news feeds.

Lin Mei knew very well how to catch his interest: "It will be international news soon, don't you read it? There was another shooting in Kosovo, and many people died."

After eating outside, my uncle thought that his son had been disturbing Mama Lin's house for many days, so he asked someone to cut up some stewed beef belly and chicken feet and bring them over. Concentrate on watching the news in front of the TV!
Uncle and Mother Lin went to the kitchen to pour out the cold dishes, "Taotao and Meimei have been together for a few days and even watched the news!" Uncle was very surprised.

Mother Lin said: "Their children can talk together. Now Taotao is quite obedient. He does his homework every day and is very serious. At night, he and Meimei recite English words in her room."

The uncle was really happy. He walked up to Tao Tao and snorted vigorously to cut his hair, took out his wallet and took out 50 yuan.

Tao Tao waited with his eyes shining!

The uncle took the money to look at it, and handed it to Lin Mei, "When will I take your brother to the supermarket and buy something you like?"

Tao Tao looked at his sister with a full face.

Lin Mei took the money and said to Tao Tao: "Be good, sister will give you half of the money. Otherwise, I will spend it all."

Tao Tao was also a child since he was a child. Hearing what his sister said, he opened his mouth and said, "Wow! Wow!"

Under the education of big stick and sugar, Tao Tao finished his homework for the first time in half of the summer vacation!Lin Mei gave him the 50 yuan directly.As a result, Tao Tao went to approve a bunch of ice cream with great boldness!Eat four torches in one day.After eating, he said happily, "I don't dare to eat like this at home." Eating ice cream at home, his mother can talk for a long time, think it's expensive, and say that it's fine to eat [-] cents, isn't it the same?Don't eat this one and five!
For Tao Tao, living in his aunt's house is the happiest.Now that he has finished his homework, his mother doesn't urge him to go back.The most important thing is that his father said that Taotao knows how to study even if he lives there.

Tao Tao's finished homework was quickly lent out by his classmates. He could use his homework to create a sense of superiority among his buddies!After the homework was finished, Lin Mei didn't bother him anymore. To a large extent, learning this thing still required hard work, and it was impossible to achieve results in a short while.Tao Tao himself didn't have this awareness, and he couldn't learn it by force.

Tao Tao got a card at the video store downstairs, watching one movie for [-] cents, and three for [-] cents, saving ten yuan is enough for him to see the end of the summer vacation.Lin Mei let him watch movies casually, just to tell him a few questions every day.Tao Tao is smart and lazy, and the most suitable thing for him is mathematics, physics and chemistry.As long as he can solve the problem types he has learned, that's fine.Even those who rely on the back of the language.

Lin Mei didn't care whether Tao Tao's brain would be knotted or not. She had confidence in Tao Tao, so it was the most difficult question type, and three formulas were the minimum for one question.Teacher Xu's math problem, and Yu's physics problem, she worked desperately for Tao Tao.

The result of this is that Tao Tao blurted out when he saw a simple AB question again: "This question is so fucking simple! I solved it for half a class!"

Lin Mei stroked his dog's head and smiled without saying a word.

Uncle came to visit the prison again, this time he brought a box of tremella given by someone else.You can get a box of tremella as a gift, so you have to eat it until the year of the monkey?Mother Lin sat on the side and took out half of the plastic bag for uncle to take back.The reason why my uncle brought this box of white fungus here first is because if he takes it home first, he won't be able to get it out...

"How is your brother doing?" Uncle said to Lin Mei with a playful smile.

Lin Mei said seriously: "He must seldom listen to lectures in class, seldom write homework by himself, and never read books after class."

Tao Tao laughed while eating torch ice cream: "My sister is right! How could it be my sister?"

You silly X!

Lin Mei couldn't bear to watch, her uncle had already slapped Tao Tao on the head: "I'll hit you little bastard!"

Tao Tao has rich experience in being beaten, and when his uncle slapped him, he shrank his neck and ducked behind Lin Mei.Regardless of his 1.8-meter weight of nearly 140 kilograms, Lin Mei can't stop him.

Lin Mei changed the topic: "But Taotao is very smart, and he can remember all the question types taught once. I think, uncle, or you can hire a tutor for Taotao. I have to live on campus here, so I can't keep tutoring Him. He refused to learn it at school, so he found a tutor to teach him mathematics, geometry, physics and chemistry." For those subjects that require rote memorization, we can only wait until the end to see if he can memorize them. It is too early to say this.Even if Tao Tao recited it now, he would have forgotten it by the time of the exam.

It is better to let him memorize the questions first.

Tao Tao rubbed the ice cream on Lin Mei's back, and secretly wiped it with the sofa towel beside him, not paying attention to what Lin Mei said.

The uncle nodded and said, "That's fine. It doesn't cost much to hire a tutor. Do you need to improve your Chinese?"

Mother Lin was amused to see that Uncle Lin Mei had a serious discussion with Lin Mei.

Lin Mei shook her head and told Tao Tao that he didn't like memorization and was worried, and said, "Anyway, we have to finish one subject first and then talk about the next one. Let's solve what he is good at first, and the rest Let's see what happens at the end."

"Okay, just as you said." The uncle felt that Lin Mei's words made sense.He is also worried about his son's studies, and he has given gifts to Tao Tao's school in the past. All of them said nicely, "The child is very smart, but even if he is lazy, you parents should pay close attention to it."How to hurry up?You should show me the way out!

How does he know what Tao Tao has learned?Uncle doesn't like to beat children, so how does he know how to teach Tao Tao?The teacher can't do anything?He has a P way!
Still like what Lin Mei said, there are reasons and evidences, and there are ways to make it very clear.Uncle was willing to do as Lin Mei said.

When Tao Tao realized that the corpse had been destroyed, he sat up straight and heard his father say in a tone of "this matter has been settled", "If your sister doesn't go to the military training, let her teach you, and I will invite you when your sister starts school." Tutor. If your sister goes to military training, I will find a tutor for you right now."

Although Tao Tao still didn't understand how things turned out like this, but it didn't prevent him from looking for reasons, he immediately said very considerately and gently: "Dad, it costs more money to hire a tutor. Mom should be angry."

Uncle sneered: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have the final say."

Uncle slapped his ass and left, Tao Tao cried to Lin Mei: "Sister, you are dying."

Lin Mei fondled his dog's head, and suddenly felt a little cold behind her?Stretching out his hand to touch it back, Tao Tao jumped up like a thunderbolt: "I'm going to throw out the garbage."

On August [-]nd, at seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou's father arrived with Zhou Xing.Both sides passed the gas in advance, and both decided to go early.Zhou's father said: "There are quite a few people who report. Go there early so that the roads will not be blocked, and secondly, there will be no queues."

This was fulfilled when I saw the gate of Provincial No. [-] Middle School. Seven or eight cars surrounded the small gate, and there were countless parents and students. Many of the parents and students on the side of the road were Carrying bedding and luggage, carrying a kettle and holding a washbasin.

Provincial No. [-] Middle School has a dormitory system, and students live on campus from the first grade.

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu shook hands tightly, feeling a little uneasy.

For Lin Mei, revisiting student life after many years is beautiful, but reliving dormitory life is fine.

Zhou Yu has been going to his children's school all the time, and the children's school is attended by the children of the factory, so the hardware conditions are really first-class.So when it comes to living in school, she is also a little timid.

At first, he still couldn't find a parking space, so Dad Zhou parked directly on the side of the road.He found someone, so he was not in a hurry to report when he arrived, but to find acquaintances first.

Mother Lin was holding a small bag, which contained tuition and miscellaneous fees. She also deliberately brought an extra 1000 yuan, for fear that she would have to pay any extra money, and she also wanted to treat Zhou's father and daughter to dinner.

Zhou Yu and Lin Mei walked hand in hand at the end, watching the school all the way.

Provincial No. [-] is a school that has been around for a while, but because of its good grades, in addition to social donations, the city government, the provincial government, and the Education Bureau have also been supporting it, so there is a mix of new and old buildings on the campus.

The two pointed and asked as they walked, and saw a beautiful building with a big upturned roof like the Sydney Opera House.Both Lin Mei and Zhou Yu guessed that this should be a gymnasium, because the space inside is relatively large.Ask the person next to you, "Oh, the cafeteria."

Then I saw a somewhat old concrete building, dusty, five stories high.Lin Mei and Zhou Yu guessed that this should be an ordinary teaching building, and put some materials or something.

Father Zhou asked the people next to him and told them to go up: "Let's go, this is here."

Zhou Que asked, "Dad, what kind of building is this?"

Father Zhou: "The comprehensive building, such as the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of Students, the Office of Admissions, the Principal's Office and the conference room are all located here. If you have anything to do, come here to find your Uncle Zhang."

Lin Mei and Zhou Jin: "..."

Shouldn't the principal and so on be placed upstairs in a higher building?
Uncle Zhang bowed his head lower than Father Zhou, had a square face, and smiled very kindly.Seeing Father Zhou, he locked the drawer and pulled Father Zhou out. The two of them said something in their ears. Father Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to dinner later."

Uncle Zhang turned to look at the two girls here. For a while, he couldn't tell which one was Father Zhou's daughter, so he smiled and turned to Father Zhou and said, "Let's go, the report is to go to your respective class. Classes are divided into different classes." There is an announcement downstairs in the teaching building. I will send you there now."

It is much more convenient to have Uncle Zhang lead the way.They quickly found the teaching building. There was a list of classes posted on the wall downstairs, with Class [-] and Class [-] written on the top.

Uncle Zhang looked back at Zhou Yu and Lin Mei in a daze. He probably wanted to ask Dad Zhou, the two girls, one you asked me to do activities for you in the first class, what about the other?

Father Zhou glanced at Lin Mei, smiled and said, "This is our district champion."

Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up immediately, and he called out Lin Mei's name with a single sip: "Lin Mei, right? Let's go, your Teacher Zhao told me already."

Who is Mr. Zhao?
Now there is no need to look at the list anymore, both of them belong to the same class.Uncle Zhang led them up the stairs on the east side, and said: "There are two stairs on each side. You are in the first class, and this is the closest one. Teacher Zhao is your head teacher, and he is a very good teacher. He teaches physics. of."

The child was held in his hands, and Zhou's father and Lin's mother were very polite.Father Zhou even pulled Uncle Zhang quietly and said, "Call Teacher Zhao for dinner later?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head, "It probably won't work today. I'm so busy reporting today that he won't be able to come out. Let's do it another day. I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future?"

That is, my own child has been held in the hands of others for three years.

Up and down the stairs are parents with their children. Many people can recognize Uncle Zhang as the school teacher when they see him, and Zhou's father and Lin's mother are the parents of the students.This vision is unusual.

Someone pulled Uncle Zhang to ask where to go, and Uncle Zhang gave them directions.

One asked where there were photos and photocopies. After pointing it out, Uncle Zhang suddenly remembered and turned around and asked, "I need to submit two photos and a copy of my ID card for the report. Have you brought them?"

Bring both.In the Lin family, Lin Mei has experience, and they have made photocopies in advance. The photos are in color and black and white, and they are all in one inch or two inches.In the Zhou family, Dad Zhou has experience, and all kinds of odds and ends are well prepared.

The first grade is on the second floor, and the first class is not at the end of the second floor, but in the second classroom on the second floor.The first classroom is the teacher's office.Occupying the convenient location, Class One is right under the nose of the teacher.

When Lin Mei saw that the office was next door, she pulled Zhou Jin and gave her a wink, and the two exchanged a look of concern.

There were three people in a class, and Uncle Zhang went straight to the big man sitting in the middle.

Lin Mei was surprised when she saw it. This big man didn't look like a teacher, but a licentious person who called his uncle a brother.It would be interesting if he was Mr. Zhao, their head teacher.

I haven't recovered from Mr. Zheng's gentle and strict painting style, but this Mr. Zhao has another style of painting.

Uncle Zhang and the big man whispered a few words, the big man looked towards them, nodded hastily, got up and came out.Standing upright, he looked a head and a half taller than Uncle Zhang and two sizes wider, more like a robber.

Uncle Zhang led him over and said with a smile, "This is your teacher Zhao."

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu immediately greeted each other obediently.With this teacher, I don't have to worry about the students being disobedient.

Teacher Zhao smiled and shook hands with Zhou's father, looked at Lin's mother in a daze, nodded, then turned to Lin Mei and Zhou Yu and asked, "Which one is Lin Mei?"

Lin Mei raised her hand, and Teacher Zhao nodded and smiled, a bit like a shark, "You can't relax here, you have to study hard, you know? The grades in the high school entrance examination are not important, and the ability to do well in the college entrance examination is what counts." His face sank, " Let me tell you the truth, you have to remember that after you reach the first provincial level, you can only work harder than others, otherwise you will be pulled down by others soon." Then she patted Lin Mei on the shoulder, which made Lin Mei's legs weak , "Come to me if you have anything to do. I live in the family courtyard behind the school, the east door on the fourth floor of the second entrance of Building No. [-]."

Lin Mei didn't know if this was love or what, but she was a little confused anyway.

Teacher Zhao turned to look at Zhou Yu, and said, "Your grades have been good all the time. You probably didn't perform well in the senior high school entrance examination. Study hard, but don't relax. Our school has final exams. Put you in another class."

Zhou Hao also nodded obediently, this teacher looked scary.

After Mr. Zhao finished talking with the two children, he said to Father Zhou and Mother Lin: "Give me the tuition fee, and also pay 340 two yuan for the accommodation fee. Later, Lao Zhang will take you to get the bedding and the water bottle. Then go to the dormitory. Things can be put in the dormitory first, and they won’t be lost. The dormitories are all divided, and the two children want to be separated together, right? The military training will start on August 20th, and it’s in our school. The military training is [-] days, so we can’t You can visit when you go home. But don’t worry, there is everything in the school. The school will officially start on September [-]st. Resident students have Sundays off every week, so they can go home. Usually if you want to go home and ask for leave, just let me know. "

Teacher Zhao is really a vigorous and resolute person. After he finished such a long series of confessions, he took the money and left, then went to the two young female teachers who helped collect the money and invoiced the receipts, and then sent them outside the classroom to say , "I'm busy today, so I won't tell you more. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me."

When Uncle Zhang led them downstairs, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu laughed quietly.Mother Lin also smiled and said, "This teacher is very straightforward."

Uncle Zhang explained, "He is a special-grade teacher. I didn't want him to lead the class again. I guess he will take you again this time." He quietly said to Lin Mei and Zhou Yu, "The last time the college entrance examination physics paper was He went to ask the question."

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu let out a wow in surprise.

Uncle Zhang told Father Zhou, "He's a very cheerful person, he's easy to talk to, and he teaches well. Don't worry if you entrust the child to him."

After picking up the things on the first floor, Zhou's father and Lin's mother were holding the bedding, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu were holding the washbasin and the rice bowl and water cup, and Uncle Zhang helped them carry the kettle to the dormitory.

The dormitory is eight floors, two buildings for girls and two buildings for boys, and they are still in different yards.There are two towering trees in the courtyard of the girls' dormitory. As soon as you enter, you feel cooler than the outside, not so sunny.

The housekeeper in the dormitory saw Uncle Zhang at a glance, and quickly came out to take the kettle in his hand and said, "Is this a relative of Mr. Zhang's family? Come in with me, which room are you in?"

Uncle Zhang said: "[-]"

But the aunt took them up to the third floor, opened the door and said, "No one has come yet, so I'll find you two brooms and rags."

The room was a mess, with eight bunk beds, bare bed boards, half-pasted windows with no curtains.There were drink bottles and waste newspapers on the floor and on the bed, and half a book was still stuck in the corner of one bed.

Lin Mei was drunk.

Hehe, so today's task is to clean the dormitory?
Father Zhou looked at his watch and said to Uncle Zhang: "Why don't you go back first, we'll come here by ourselves."

Uncle Zhang also said cheerfully: "That's fine, call me if you need anything."

Uncle Zhang stepped back.Father Zhou turned to Mother Lin and said, "Anyway, we don't come until the eighth, so let's go back today."

Mother Lin looked at the dirty and messy house and wanted to clean it a little bit, because Lin Mei would live here in the future, but they came by Zhou's father's car, and she still wanted to invite Zhou's father and Zhou Yu to dinner, so she hesitated: " Then... don't worry about it? Take things back first?"

Father Zhou nodded and said, "Everything is done, let's go back."

Then the four of them closed the door, and when they went downstairs, they deliberately went down the stairs on the other side, so as not to be seen by the housekeeper.

As for cleaning...it's just a cloud...
