Back to the third grade

Chapter 42

The fact that Mei Lu is going to study abroad has given Lin Mei a little shock, but the trend of "going abroad" has indeed begun to blow.Before Lin Mei went back to school, a neighbor came to her house to borrow Lin Mei's books and papers from last year, and it happened that Tao Tao had already asked her uncle to take them away a few days ago.

Lin Mei went back to the house to do her own thing, and asked Lin's mother to chat with her aunt.Of course, the two were talking about the children's future, and the aunt said: "Your family Lin Mei is fine. His grades are so good now, and it will be easy to go abroad in the future. Alas, my child is not good. His father and I have been giving him The money saved abroad, I heard that it is almost enough to put the house on the mortgage now, and prepare the salary certificates of me and his father, the only problem is this kid's grades."

Lin Mei heard Lin's mother say: "Oh, no way, Lin Mei doesn't want to go out. I've told her several times, and she said she doesn't want to go out."

ah?Mama Lin was serious before?Lin Mei recalled, probably after her senior high school entrance examination results came out, Mother Lin said that some of her classmates in the family home had gone abroad, and she said, "Isn't Zhou Jie also going out? There is her over there." Mom, when the time comes, you go together, and there will be a caregiver over there."

Lin Mei felt that there was no need to discuss this topic, so she said: "I don't really want to study abroad. If I really want to go, I will wait until I get a scholarship from the school over there." She has already made up her mind that she will not go abroad without a scholarship. In her life, she would never let her family spend all their money because of her going abroad.

The aunt immediately said: "You can't let her do this! My strong family doesn't want to go, and when they talk about going abroad, they are anxious and slam the door. But now everyone is going out, and it is impossible for him to go to a good university in the future with his grades. It’s better to have more capital for a trip.”

The aunt also said that she was worried that her son would go out after he went to college. At that time, she and her husband would have to retire in a few years, and they would not be able to provide for the son for a few years, so she wanted to send her son out early.

Mama Lin and Auntie Lin had a lot in common. Lin Mei was packing her luggage in the house, and she found out that because of her good grades, Mama Lin had the idea of ​​sending her abroad earlier than last time!
If we say that in the past, it was Lin's mother who wanted to let Lin Mei go out to fight for the last time, plating her with gold, so that she could find a job with the qualifications of studying abroad.So now she is full of confidence that Lin Mei will definitely be promising after she goes out.If you don't go out, you will delay Lin Mei.

But Lin Mei is very aware of her weight.She did well in the senior high school entrance examination because she had a more definite goal than the real third-year students, and she did not lack the will and confidence to work hard for it.To be honest, it would be a joke if she really failed a group of junior high school students.

But in the future, her advantage is constantly weakening.Reading still requires talent, it should be said that doing anything requires talent.When the big waves wash away the sand, the real gold comes out at the end.

Obviously, Lin Mei does not have the talent for reading.She was just an ordinary person, she was reborn, she just wanted to save herself a few years and make her path easier.

Lin Mei left with two big bags after lunch. Originally, Lin's mother wanted her to ride the newly bought mountain bike, but Lin Mei said that there were too many luggages to carry, and the bus was more convenient.

Mama Lin sent her to the bus station, almost planning to accompany her there, but Lin Mei quickly persuaded Mama Lin, "You're still at work in the afternoon, so you can't ask for leave."

Then he made a promise to call Mother Lin tonight.

Mother Lin said: "You have to let me know that you arrived at school safely, otherwise Mom will be worried."

"Got it." Lin Mei saluted, and the bus driver laughed.

After arriving at school early, someone came to the dormitory. One said: "Squad monitor, Teacher Zhao told me to give you the key." Then she gave her a key. Lin Mei recognized that it was the key of Teacher Zhao's office, and she was confused. Someone came to him and said, "Squad leader? I'm in our first class. I'm late. Teacher Zhao asked you to get the books and school uniform."

... Lin Mei expressed her understanding.I simply took the list and went directly to the teaching building, and said to someone: "People who come late ask them to find me in the classroom."

She took the two book pickers to the classroom, opened the classroom door first, and then moved all the books and school uniforms from Mr. Zhao's office, and asked the two who arrived late to write their names to get things.

Teacher Zhao didn't take the list that she was asked to memorize last time. Later, she figured it out. Teacher Zhao probably had to wait for all the latecomers to arrive before "processing".So Lin Mei took a new piece of paper and asked them to sign and add the date of arrival at school, so that it would be easier for Teacher Zhao to "handle".

All afternoon, she waited in the classroom for someone to come to collect books and school uniforms, but there were still two people who didn't arrive. At 05:30, Lin Mei locked the door and went to the dormitory to get a rice bowl to eat, and met Zhou Jing and the others on the way.

Zhou Yu beckoned and said, "I've got your rice bowl for you, let's go." She and Zhou Yu both had keys to each other's cabinets, just for convenience.

There is still water on the rice bowl, which seems to have been washed.

Zhou Que said, "How is it? Has everyone arrived?"

Lin Mei shook her head and said, "There are still two people who haven't come yet. If they really dare to come back tomorrow, September [-]st, they will be truly brave."

As soon as you enter the cafeteria, you will be surprised!The canteen has changed a lot!

All the windows are open, and there is a long queue at the innermost window. I don't know what they are selling, but it must be delicious.Lin Mei has long been tired of eating noodles, and she ate all the noodles at the window where the noodles were sold.In addition to plain noodles, there are also casserole noodles. You can put small crispy meat, lotus clips and meatballs in it. Although it looks like there are many things divided into seven or eight plates, no matter what it is, it is wrapped in a thick layer of oil. After cooking The fried noodles melted into the soup...

So in the end, she ate a lot of vegetarian noodles, just the refreshing tomato and eggs, at least she knew what was in it.

She walked with Zhou Yu to the innermost window and saw that the sign hanging was red with the words Halal, so it turned out to be the Halal window.Lin Mei asked those in line what are these?A male classmate who had a meal here at noon immediately said: "There are steamed buns in mutton soup and ramen. The soup is amazing!"

Lin Mei hurriedly got in line.Zhou Jie looked at the team and said, "There are still a few windows over there, let me go and see."

Lin Mei said: "Then I will wait here first, if you want to eat this later, come and find me."

The team moved forward quickly and arrived at Lin Mei soon. The chef wearing a white hat quickly asked, "Would you like steamed buns or noodles!"

Lin Mei immediately said, "Ramen noodles!" and handed over the jar, there was already a young-looking little chef over there who grabbed the noodles two or three times and then pulled it away, threw it into the iron fence, and put it on the The bottom of the big pot is deep, and the handle is hung on the edge of the pot. The master over there puts the ingredients for her and asks: "Do you want to eat spicy food? Do you want to eat coriander?"

The master usually makes seven or eight servings of noodles in one go, and there are rice bowls next to the chopping board, which are prepared one by one.Some people want mutton steamed buns, and the master asks how much meat they want. As long as the soup does not require meat, add a "30-degree acute angle" bun and it will cost one yuan and five yuan, and one yuan soup will cost fifty cents.If you want meat, you can add two yuan, five yuan or ten yuan, and usually you need to add two pieces of meat.The master grabbed it with a big hand, put it on the food scale next to it, and poured it into the rice jar after seeing enough for one or two, and added a large spoonful of hot mutton soup.

While Lin Mei was waiting for the noodles, Zhou Jie had already bought them. Lin Mei saw that what she bought were hot dry noodles, topped with sesame sauce, and mung bean sprouts and gluten underneath.

"This one is one piece, and the one with sausage or eggs is one piece and five." Zhou Yan felt that this would fill him up, and the portion of noodles was quite sufficient.

Lin Mei's noodles are also good. The ramen here is not clear soup noodles, but curry soup!There is a layer of fragrant and thick oil flowers floating on it!Lin Mei's saliva was flooding, holding the handle of the rice bowl with one hand, and holding the bottom of the rice bowl with the other hand, she didn't care if she kept breathing hard, she found an empty seat and started eating with Zhou Yu.

"After all, it's better for the masters to come back." Lin Mei looked back at the rich canteen.

Zhou Que said, "I also saw some selling cold noodles, and I heard that there are fried buns and fried dough sticks in the morning. Oil tea tofu brain soy milk." This is what people who returned to school early last night said.

Lin Mei immediately looked forward to the life in the school.

Teacher Zhao came over during evening self-study, and Lin Mei gave him the list.The newcomers almost sat in the last two rows. Teacher Zhao looked at the list and said, "How many are still here?"

Lin Mei said two words, and he returned the list to her, "Give it to me when you're all here."

Teacher Zhao wandered around the class for half a class this time, allowing everyone to maintain a serious and focused spirit when watching the news broadcast, which was completely different from doing what he wanted to do before.Lin Mei generally does not maintain discipline during news broadcasts. It is a common practice to put the TV on above and whisper to everyone below.After watching the news and taking a 10-minute break after class, Lin Mei sat on the podium to maintain discipline.She told everyone in her dormitory that Teacher Zhao would peek, so no matter how others secretly passed notes to talk about changing seats, these people in her dormitory did nothing.

Teacher Zhao kindly condoled those students who arrived late, and dug out the truth from some of them: not coming is avoiding military training.

Lin Mei lit a row of wax for these people in her heart.It is also very strange in my heart, it is said that Mr. Zhao is not easy to mess with at first sight, even if he is a little bit pleasant, he looks like a robber, how could these people be coaxed into a dizzy head to tell the truth?I don't know the truth, can't tell?

Sure enough, as soon as the news was over and the bell rang, everyone should go out to the bathroom, but today no one dared to move, only the sound of other classes coming out of the corridor to have fun, that was a joy, and it made them more pitiful .

Teacher Zhao walked to the podium and said with a smile, "Okay, the report time written in the notice, if you can't come, you won't come, and there is no valid reason for not asking for leave. Military training is the school's regulations. If you don't want to train, you can't train." Do you really think that once you enter a class, you will always be a member of the first class? Dreaming!" His big hand slapped the lecture table, making the liver tremble with fear.

"Tomorrow will be the official class. Let me tell you first that you have to take a basic test in physics. I don't know if you don't take the other science exams. You will know in class tomorrow. I gave the papers. If it is less than [-] points, I will send you from one to one." Classes go out. No matter who comes in, it has nothing to do with the principal and district chief, even if they are the children of teachers in this school, I will not accept a class."

Everyone gasp!In the classroom, the sound of needles falling can be heard even more quietly.

Teacher Zhao came to a sharp ending, and after finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "get out of class is over." Then his uncle went out with his hands behind his back.

How do you feel about going to the bathroom now?Of course, I have to go back to the dormitory to get the physics book!Lin Mei's things were all cleaned up by Tao Tao. She really didn't expect to bring her junior high school physics books when she went to high school. She asked her roommate: "Which one of you brought your junior high school textbooks?"

Out of the eight people, four or five people brought them with them, and everyone wanted to be prepared.

Lin Mei shook her head: "I'm careless..."

Zhou Jie only brought the textbooks and papers for the third year of junior high school, and when he returned to the dormitory, he picked out the physical ones and shared them with Lin Mei. "Give all yours to your brother, right?" Zhou Yu asked.

Lin Mei nodded, and said dejectedly: "How did I think that I still need to use junior high school books?"

In fact, she couldn't remember whether she used or didn't use the things in junior high school when she was in high school.But Tao Tao didn't take all her textbooks as treasures last time.So this is life.

Until the end of the self-study class, everyone was concentrating on reviewing physics.According to the class schedule, the second class tomorrow morning will be physics.After the lights were turned off at night, there were still people reading with flashlights, so Lin Mei didn't bother, and went to bed after washing.

The bell rang at six o'clock the next day. This was the assembly bell for military training before, but now it has been changed to the wake-up bell.But in fact, someone woke up after five o'clock, and there were already human voices in the corridor.Lin Mei was used to starting at six o'clock, but the military training forced her to set her biological clock forward by another half an hour.If you want to talk about what makes her resent the most about military training, the cafeteria is the first, and getting up is the second.

Now she was finally able to sleep again until six o'clock. She opened her eyes at five twenty, touched her watch, looked at it, turned over and went back to sleep again.Although she could hear the voices in the corridor in her ears, someone in the dormitory got up lightly, and someone accidentally bumped into it while carrying a pot, and she was frightened. She heard all the movements.

But she just couldn't afford to live and die, and her eyelids were tightly glued.

It wasn't until the bell rang outside that I touched my watch to see that it was six o'clock before I got reconciled.

After washing up, the girls in the dormitory began to dress up.I bought mirrors in nearby boutiques, some were placed on the table, some were hung on the bedposts, and some were taken by myself.Since Mr. Zhao said that everyone can wear hairpins, all kinds of hairpins have flooded all the dormitories.

Lin Mei couldn't avoid it, and bought a few when she went shopping with her classmates after military training. She picked a little rabbit hairpin and put it on, thinking she was cute.

Today, the last two students who arrived late finally arrived, accompanied by a certain leader of the school.Unfortunately, Teacher Zhao is not here.Leaders and students' parents came in with smiles all over their faces, but the podium was empty and the smiles were gone.

The students in the first row pointed to them: "Report to the monitor." Pointing to someone in the second row.

Lin Mei got up and said with a smile on her face, "I'm sorry that the seats are all arranged, so there are only a few seats left in the back. You can sit wherever you want." There are also books, because the remaining two sets of books are chosen by everyone. After a few rounds, it would be very helpless if there was any damage. Lin Mei simply didn’t tie it up (she couldn’t tie it up), and went directly to the rope and put it on the table behind, please feel free to get it.There are a lot of school uniforms, but the S and M sizes are gone, and the smallest is the L size. The tops seem to be prepared for the [-]-pound fat man in the TV show.Lin Mei has always suspected that the school uniforms of Provincial No. [-] Middle School were either greedy for money, or they were disposed of.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the size is exaggerated. What about the brains of the people who make the clothes?He has never tried what this school uniform looks like?

She first took out the list and asked the two people to write their names and dates, then put it away, and now she can do business.Then lead them over to get their uniforms and books.

The leader who brought people here asked Lin Mei: "Where's your teacher Zhao? Why aren't you here for the morning self-study?"

Lin Mei replied: "Because there is a physics exam today, so Teacher Zhao took advantage of this time to prepare the papers."

What a perfect reason, let the leader turn off the fire after saying "oh".

Soon, both of them discovered the problem with the school uniform, and Lin Mei herself didn't remember it. It turned out that there was only one size L left, and the XL, XXL and XXXL in the back were even more deceptive.

The parents discussed in a low voice with the leader that the school uniform could not be worn, and the leader waved his hand: "Look for it in other classes, maybe there are more." Then they directly asked Lin Mei, "Are there many school uniforms in other classes?"

Lin Mei: "...I'm sorry teacher, I don't know much about this." She suspected that this guy made the school uniforms!

Fortunately, Teacher Zhao arrived in time, and Lin Mei hurriedly obeyed and went back to self-study.

Teacher Zhao hummed and called out the leaders and parents. When passing by Lin Mei, she reached out to her, and Lin Mei hurriedly handed over the list.Teacher Zhao looked through the pages, folded them up and put them in his pocket.

Lin Mei has an ominous premonition... She always feels that the list Teacher Zhao asked her to memorize is not aimless. It is very likely that he has a big plan...

Teacher Zhao is the only one who has to take the exam on the first day of school. Teachers of other subjects are still paid normally: of course, the first day should be used to get acquainted with classmates.

There are also a few intern teachers. For example, the English teacher is a college student who just graduated this year. When he walked up to the podium with a ponytail and a skirt, his tense shoulders were tense.

At noon, we sat down and talked together, only to find out that the new English teacher and several other trainee teachers lived on the first floor of their dormitory.

"It turns out that the intern teacher lives on the first floor."

"They are better than us. They can accommodate four people in one room, and they can fit two cabinets."

Everyone expressed envy, jealousy and hatred, thinking that there were too many people in the class or in the dormitory, and they had to wash their feet twice at night.

The physics questions given by Mr. Zhao are not a little more difficult than the senior high school entrance examination. Fortunately, after being taught by Teacher Yu from the attached middle school, Lin Mei is no stranger to this kind of question that needs to use more than three formulas.There is no shame in the grades, and he kept the first place in the class.To be honest, this is even more nervous than her mock exam in the attached high school.

Teacher Zhao handed out the papers herself, and she smiled when she handed it to her, and said softly, "Keep working hard, don't relax."

Lin Meixing even did not.

But one week after the physics test, one day suddenly, the number of people in the last row was reduced by more than half!

There was a lot of discussion in the class, and it turned out that Mr. Zhao invited eleven people out of class one!They were seen in the second and subsequent classes.

Teacher Zhao once looked at the class in a physics class and said: "It's much better to look at it this way."

What a chill.

He said: "If there are fewer people in the class, it's easy for me to manage you. Besides, I don't bother to care about those people who don't know where they got in. All rubbish is stuffed into my class!"

Later, Lin Mei heard that Mr. Zhao was still the vice-principal of Provincial No. [-]!In charge of teaching tasks!That's awesome, he got the first grade of the province, and he keeps his promises!

Zhou Hao whispered to Lin Mei: "My father brought all my papers when he entrusted someone. Teacher Zhao nodded and let me in after reading it."

That's why Teacher Zhao said that when she first met Zhou Jie, she had good grades in the past, but she didn't do well in the high school entrance examination.

Teacher Zhao proved to everyone that he has the ability to kick people out of the class with practical actions!This made everyone dare not discount his words anymore. As a result, Lin Mei found that her work was suddenly relieved a lot, and she no longer needed to sit on the podium for self-study classes.Everyone seems to have returned to the atmosphere of the high school entrance examination soon, and they are ready to endure another three years.

A week later, all the section representatives were elected.Zheng Kai became the representative of the physics class. Like some unspoken rule, the class representative of the subject of the class teacher is aloof from other class representatives.Lin Mei also naturally relaxed the power in her hand and transferred part of it to Zheng Kai so that she could spare time to study.

She originally wanted He Qi to lead the boys in the class, but now He Qi, Zheng Kai, and Zhang Xu have formed a faction because of their friendship from the same school. his support.

Mei Lu was first selected as the English class representative because she read the text fluently.Even Lin Mei was criticized for this. The English teacher thought that she was reading the text too fast, and she couldn't hear many words clearly.But after class, Mei Lu told the English teacher that she didn't want to be the class representative. After all, the English teacher was young and had just become a teacher.

The English teacher does not seem to choose someone purely based on grades, but more on which student she likes more.

Huang Ling's job as the head of the dormitory went smoothly, no one had any objections, and there were no gangs in the dormitory.Wu Jiao said to Lin Mei: "That's because you, the squad leader, are in charge." The squad leader in the class is the largest, and the eight people in the dormitory are no special second-generation officials, so it is so peaceful.
