Back to the third grade

Chapter 65

The results of the competition came out faster than Lin Mei expected.But it may also be that she was concentrating on studying and forgot about it, so when Teacher Zhao reminded her that the rematch was over, they were going to go to the final.Lin Mei was still a little unresponsive.

Teacher Zhao said: "Please inform everyone to hand in their ID cards and household registration books to buy air tickets. The school pays the money, and we will stay there for one night. We will fly away on Saturday afternoon, and we will be there that night. Race on Sunday, fly back Sunday night.

Lin Mei: "...Do you want to bring money?"

Teacher Zhao said: "If you want to buy things by yourself, it doesn't matter if you bring a few hundred, and you don't need anything else. The money for air tickets and hotels are all paid by the school. By the way, it's okay if parents accompany you there. Never mind."

It happened to be the evening self-study, and Lin Mei, Zhou Yu and He Qi had been sitting together for a long time during the evening self-study.She quietly notified in the evening self-study, and what is pleasing is that they all passed the rematch.On the other hand, the ones from other classes were all brushed off.Lin Mei didn't know until later that Mr. Zhao only prescribes a small treatment for the people in the first class, and he doesn't care about the other classes.

Teacher Zhao gave them the questions he found out in private, and these questions can be said to have helped them a lot.At least Lin Mei felt that [-]% of the questions on the test papers for the preliminary round and the semi-final round had been practiced.Only relying on this, they passed the two barriers, Mr. Zhao should be the first.

The semi-finals may not be exciting enough for everyone. After all, we are in our own city and have a natural sense of geographical intimacy.But when it comes to going to other places to participate in the finals, everyone's mood suddenly became excited.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to find what to say for a while.

Lin Mei said: "Teacher Zhao explained that we can go home to pick up things for self-study tomorrow night, and we can just come and hand them in the morning after tomorrow."

Zheng Kai said, "Are you going this week?"

Lin Mei nodded, Teacher Zhao was talking about this week.He also said that the faster finals this time would be beneficial to them. If it was delayed until November, then it would be time to crash with the midterm and college entrance examinations.At that time, he can only advise some students not to participate in the finals and concentrate on preparing for the exam.After all, competitions are just competitions and cannot affect normal learning.

The next day, Lin Mei went home after the second class in the afternoon. Zhou Jie wanted to go with He Qi, so Lin Mei had to take the bus back by herself.She came home suddenly, and Mother Lin was not prepared at all.There are only two steamed buns and some garlic and ginger in the kitchen, and there is a bowl of sauce made by grandma on the table. It is estimated that Lin’s mother just eats a little when she is not at home.

On the way back, Lin Mei saw a vegetable stand and bought vegetables by the way. Looking at the kitchen like this, she simply took Qiang Qiang, who was jumping around as soon as she came back, out again.

When Mama Lin came back from get off work, she opened the door and smelled the smell of braised pork. She was surprised, "Why are you back? What did you do?"

Lin Mei was serving out the braised pork ribs, and said: "Braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised chicken wings, and a pot of pig's trotters, it will be ready later." She also bought skinned fish, which is being marinated, and she will finish the meal in a while Blow it out.

Mother Lin was shocked when she saw the dishes in this kitchen, "Can you eat so much? If you don't eat it, I can't finish it for a week!"

She saw that there were tomatoes, eggplants and potatoes in the cartons in the kitchen, and the cartons were all sticking out. "You still bought such vegetables?"

Lin Mei said: "I also bought lotus root and tofu. You can eat tofu, lotus root and tomato first. If you don't eat it, it will go bad very quickly. Eggplant and potato can be kept for a while, but not for too long."

Mother Lin looked at the dishes in this kitchen and was worried. When it was time to eat, she realized that Lin Mei bought so many dishes and hurriedly cooked them because she was afraid that she would not eat at home alone.

"Why don't I eat? There's still Qiangqiang." Mother Lin said with a smile.Lin Mei cut two potatoes and stewed it with one-third of the braised pork. Mother Lin likes to eat sweet dishes, and braised dishes are her favorite.

Lin Mei forced a confession seriously: "Then what have you been eating this week? There is nothing in the refrigerator."

Mother Lin said seriously: "I drink a bag of milk every morning and eat an egg at night, which is very healthy."

Lin Mei was not deceived: "Dinner. What's for dinner?"

Mother Lin kept quiet, and after a while she couldn't hide it, she said: "I think amaranth is good, so I use it to make noodles..."

"You just eat noodles when I'm not at home? Make some porridge at night." Lin Mei was very angry. She used to come back at a fixed time every week. At that time, Lin's mother would make a lot of delicious food to welcome her, so she went to Just found out now.

Mother Lin finds it troublesome. She is alone, and the dog can eat dog food, so she doesn't bother to cook, and it's too troublesome to clean the pot and wash the dishes. It's better to eat a pot of noodles for a day.

Seeing that Lin Mei was really angry, Mother Lin quickly promised: "Okay, okay, I will eat well in the future. You do so much, I can't do without it."

Lin Mei made up her mind to cook more dishes like stew every time she came back, and buy more dishes.Mother is more frugal, and she won't just watch the food go bad and refuse to eat it.

Seeing that the alarm was lifted, Mother Lin said, "By the way, what's the matter with you coming back suddenly?"

Lin Mei said that she was going to participate in the competition.

"Going to fly again?" Mother Lin was a little worried, but she still said, "It should be fine to follow your teacher."

When Lin Mei left the next morning, Mother Lin said, "Then are you coming back before the competition?"

Lin Mei thought for a while and said, "I should be able to come back." Before leaving, they should be able to go home.

After arriving at the school, Lin Mei collected all the ID cards and household registration booklets, only to find out that there were still people without ID cards.Zhang Xu said, "I thought I'd wait until before I went to university to do it."

It was only then that Lin Mei remembered that the ID card was still required to be reapplied.She used to apply for an ID card when she was 16, but Tao Tao was issued by the school when she was 16 years old.I heard that this year they changed it to [-] years old and they can do it if they want, so this time when they heard that Tao Tao went to apply for an ID card, Lin Mei also went for it, and it didn't take long to get it back.

Lin Mei just handed in Zhang Xu's household registration booklet.Teacher Zhao accepted it and said, "Let him do it quickly. I'll take this to buy him a plane ticket first."

Zhang Xu asked for leave for two consecutive afternoons before going to get his ID card, and quickly handed it in.

At noon on Friday, Teacher Zhao said that they could go home, and they would not have to attend the afternoon class, and they would leave school by car at noon tomorrow. "Go back and pack your luggage, and explain it to your parents so that they don't worry."

Zhou Yu said that Zhou's father would come to pick her up, Lin Mei deliberately teased her: "Then let He Qi go with us?"

Zhou Jie chased her and beat her angrily.

He Qi rode his bicycle and left first.Before Zhou Rong took the bus, he accompanied Zhou Rong to take the bus home.Zhou Jie went to see him off, and when she came back, she told Lin Mei that she was going to ride a bicycle. "Anyway, I go home once or twice a week, and the bike is usually left in school when it's not in use. What about you? Don't you also have a mountain bike? I haven't ridden it. You can ride it too."

Lin Mei still doesn't want to ride a bicycle, mainly because she has already developed the habit of taking public transportation, and it will be more convenient when the subway is connected to the city in the future.That mountain bike is now more often ridden by Mama Lin.

She said: "It is unnecessary to use the car to go home once a week. It is more convenient to take the bus."

When Dad Zhou arrived and sat in the car, Lin Mei saw Zhou Yu carefully telling Dad Zhou that she wanted to ride a bicycle.Zhou's father looked at Lin Mei: "Lin Mei also rides?"

Zhou Que winked at her, and Lin Mei said, "I also have a mountain bike."

Zhou's father was hesitant, so Lin Mei hurriedly asked Zhou Yu quietly if her father would not let her ride to school?
Zhou Hao said quietly: "Well. My dad used to say that my home was close to the school, and he didn't live in the school at the time. He couldn't send me to let me ride a bike every day. Now I go back once a week when I live in school. He comes to pick me up when he is free. .And the school is far away from home, and there are several major intersections to cross. My dad said he was worried about letting me ride a bike."

Lin Mei has seen how much Zhou's father protects Zhou Jie.

Father Zhou hesitated again and again, nodded and said: "Okay, you two go together, then you can ride."

Zhou Hao cheered, and Zhou's father told her from the rearview mirror: "When crossing an unfamiliar intersection, you should look at the car, not just the lights. Some people don't care about the lights, and they can't walk around. Do you know that? You can’t just walk around blindly. Wherever you go, follow the flow of people, and when there are too many people, you won’t dare to hit a car.”

Zhou Yu repeatedly agreed.

Lin Mei took advantage of Zhou's father not paying attention and asked Zhou Yu in a low voice: "If uncle knows that you and He Qi..." Then Zhou's father must be furious, right?
Zhou Yu became depressed when he heard this, and said in a depressed way: "I don't even dare to think about it now..."

Lin Mei is very helpless, dear, don't you need to put on such an appearance of beating mandarin ducks so early, right?She patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "It's too early to say this now. After you get to university, uncle will definitely not care about you anymore. It won't be his business by then."

If Zhou Yu and He Qi were admitted to the same university, it would be considered a healthy relationship, even if Zhou's father objected, he would not be too firm.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Jie relaxed, and whispered to Lin Mei, "I guess if my dad finds out, he will think he is too low."

Lin Mei made a sound.

Zhou Jie is tall, and He Qi is only 1.7 meters tall now, and the two stand together and look about the same height.But according to the standard of mate selection, He Qi's stature is a little bit low...

Mother Lin bought Lin Mei a beautiful suitcase, 20L, beautiful black, it is said that it is the kind used by flight attendants, I don’t know if it is.But Lin Mei thought it looked good.

"Be careful of catching a cold when you get there, and bring two extra thick clothes." Mother Lin said.

Lin Mei was also worried that the weather would be too hot, so she brought all the thick and thin ones.A thin sweater and a thick sweater, a single pair of thick jeans, a pair of long johns, two Ts, and a white shirt.There are also school uniforms, this is to prevent the school from suddenly being stupid and asking them to wear school uniforms.The rest of the cleaning supplies only brought a bar of soap.Mother Lin also prepared a small cosmetic bag for her travel set, which contains lotion and sunscreen.

"There are also sanitary napkins, in case you come here suddenly." Mother Lin went to get another pack of sanitary napkins.

Lin Mei put all these in.In the end, she packed a small backpack to put her belongings in. Mother Lin gave her another 300 yuan as pocket money, and said to her: "When you get there, you have to listen to the teacher, follow the teacher closely, and don't run around."

Lin Mei agreed one by one, and Lin's mother was really worried, and said: "When you arrive at the airport, please remember to follow your teacher closely! You can just drag his clothes and leave, don't be afraid of embarrassment. As long as you don't lose you, it will be fine." Lin Mei The mother also gestured for her whether it was appropriate to pull the sleeves or the corner of Mr. Zhao's clothes.

Lin Mei was amused, nodded and said: "Mom, I know, I will definitely not lose myself. If I really get lost there, I will definitely find the police immediately and call you."

Lin Mei also brought her own bank card. If there is any problem, she can buy a ticket and fly back by herself.

The next day, Zhou's father made a special trip to pick Lin Mei back to school.Zhou Hao had already put on the school uniform. Seeing that Lin Mei hadn't put it on, she took it off and said, "Then I won't wear it either. This school uniform is really ugly, and it would be embarrassing to wear it out."

Lin Mei's school uniform is in the suitcase.

After arriving at the school, the familiar bus stopped at the school gate.Mr. Zhao was standing in front of the car door and chatting with the driver. When he saw Lin Mei and the others coming, he said, "Put your luggage on it first, so you can move it when you can. By the way, remember to put a sign on your luggage that says name."

Lin Mei went to buy a large roll of scotch tape, cut some white paper for everyone to write their names and phone numbers on, and then pasted it on the luggage with the big scotch tape.

Almost everyone had put on school uniforms. Lin Mei saw that everyone was so tidy, so she asked Mr. Zhao if she wanted to wear school uniforms.Mr. Zhao is also very dissatisfied with the school uniform of Provincial One. He didn't care about it last year, and he didn't know why the school uniform was so ugly.Needless to say, there are tricks here, students and teachers have expressed their opinions. This year's first grade school uniform looks much better, at least it fits well.

Teacher Zhao looked at his watch and said, "There is still time. I'll go and see if I can find you some school uniforms that are not so ugly." He also forgot about school uniforms, and watched his students put on school uniforms It looks ugly, isn't it embarrassing to take it out?
He called Principal Xiong and complained half-truthfully. Principal Xiong said repeatedly, "Okay, I will change all your students for free. You don't have to hand in the old school uniforms, let them keep it." let's go."

Teacher Zhao sent Lin Mei and the others to the cafeteria for dinner.I guess I can only eat dinner on the plane. I don’t know if dinner is served on this flight. He said: “Eat more, there are toilets on the plane, but there may not be food. Otherwise, you will have to ask for milk on the plane.” OK."

Zhou Que asked, "Can I bring biscuits?"

Teacher Zhao said: "Take it and try it. If you don't check it, you'll be fine."

Lin Mei only brought chocolate.Hearing what Mr. Zhao said, it seems that the inspection is not too strict now. After a quick lunch in the cafeteria, several people went to the small supermarket near the school to raid.
