Back to the third grade

Chapter 70

On the night of the first day of junior high school, Lin Mei accidentally received a call from Mei Lu.

"Happy New Year." Mei Lu's voice was very clear on the phone.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Are you okay over there?" Lin Mei said quickly.

Mei Lu smiled and said, "Okay, it's good, I'm used to it."

Mei Lu studied abroad at her own expense, and lived in a boarding house first when she arrived there. She had no relatives and friends, and was truly unaccompanied.During the first month of my arrival, I didn't even dare to make too many phone calls, for fear that the host family would be unhappy.

Lin Mei didn't say anything, just listened to Mei Lu's non-stop talking, what she said the most was "I'm used to it now", "It's much better now", and "It's not bad now".

Lin Mei didn't say much about things here. When she first went out, she almost didn't want to hear anything about China, whether it was classmates or anything.I don't know what kind of psychology it is, but at that time she was afraid that she would choose the wrong path. When she heard that her friends in China seemed to be doing well, she always wondered if it was a wrong choice?Would it be better if she stayed in the country and so on.

So after the phone call, Lin Mei just said a few words and asked Mei Lu if she could tell Zhou Jie and the others.

"...Let's talk." Melu paused and said with a smile, "Tell them that you want to come over in the future, and I can be a tour guide to take you there!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mei unexpectedly had a dream she had when she first arrived in the United States.This dream was not good at all, because she had never seen cockroaches and bedbugs at home, but it was the first time she had close contact with these little things in the United States.You must know that when she saw a cockroach for the first time, it took her a long time to guess its identity, and then she wanted to call or write home immediately and ask her mother to send her insecticide!
In the dream, she went to the toilet or took a bath, but found a lot of cockroaches!

I still felt a strange feeling when I got up, and then I cleaned at home in the third grade of junior high school.

Mother Lin watched her clean out all the things in the cabinet in the kitchen, throw away the expired ones, and wipe the bottles and cans before putting them back. "What are you doing? It's Chinese New Year's Eve." Lin's mother was quite helpless with Lin Mei's hobby, which always took cleaning as a pastime. She told people at work that she didn't have to clean at home now, and waited for her daughter to come back for a week. A big cleaning.Others said enviously, "You are showing off!" "Be content, you are only a girl to love others! I gave birth to a son, and I have never swept the floor for me!"

Lin Mei squatted on the ground and said, "...I'm afraid of insects."

"What kind of insects live in winter?" Mother Lin asked.

There have been several heavy snowfalls this winter.After returning to school, Teacher Zhao took them to a snowball fight.Not only their second graders, but even their third graders were called down to move their bodies.

"Pfft!" A snowball exploded on He Qi's face, causing him to stagger backwards.Then his group of buddies immediately started to besiege him, presumably male animals have hunting instinct, and they start to besiege when they see the weak.

He Qi was so attacked that he had to flee to the girl.

The girls are much more peaceful here, and they probably don't feel ashamed to throw snowballs at other girls.

Lin Mei went to the school worker to borrow a shovel, and Zhou Yu and the others shoveled the snow together and rolled snowballs to make a snowman.

"So Meilu isn't bad over there?" Zhou Yu squatted on the ground trying to roll the snowdrift into a ball, and looked up.

"It sounds so." Lin Mei said.

"Oh, I still suffered a lot." Zhou Que said.She could imagine how difficult it would be for Mei Lu to be alone in a foreign country.When I was in China, I was a little detached when I heard that Mei Lu wanted to study abroad, because she was different from them after all.But when she really went out, Zhou Yu began to sympathize with Mei Lu, she was the only one there, and her parents were not around.

"At any rate, I still have my mother over there, so it's not considered unaccompanied." Zhou Yu said.

Already a sophomore in high school, Zhou's father has rarely mentioned the matter of letting her go abroad recently.In the past two years, Zhou's mother has also made fewer phone calls. She just wanted her to go to play during the holidays, but she never had the opportunity because of her tight academic relationship.Everyone seems to have reached a consensus to wait until she is in college before going out.

Before He Qi ran to the girl's side, the boys caught him, held him down and stuffed a snowball into his neckline, which made He Qi scream.

Seeing Zheng Kai who was laughing, Zhou Que said, "I didn't expect Mei Lu to call you... Do you want to tell Zheng Kai?"

Lin Mei didn't expect that Mei Lu would call her. It seemed that among their classmates and friends, Mei Lu only called her one.

As for whether to tell Zheng Kai, Lin Mei hesitated.At the time, Mei Lu probably didn't want her to publicize her affairs in the United States.Tell Zhou Jie that it's okay, the two are good friends.Zheng Kai's relationship is farther away.

"Let's see." Lin Mei said, "I don't think Zheng Kai is sad anymore."

Zhou Que: "Do you think Zheng Kai has fallen in love with someone else?"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, neither had any hope for Zheng Kai's "affectionate".With Zhuang Xiqian in front, maybe Zheng Kai has fallen in love with someone else now?

When going upstairs after the snowball fight, Zhou Yu said to Lin Mei: "I want to mention my study abroad to He Qi and see what he means." She didn't want He Qi to become like Zheng Kai and Mei Lu of.

Zhou Jie and He Qi's little love is not close enough to exchange the privacy of their parents and family.Lin Mei is somewhat envious, this is why students' love is called the purest, right?No practical issues are considered, neither future nor family is important, just go to the classroom, go to the cafeteria together, study at night together, and occasionally stroll around the school together.

If you think about it carefully, it means that the two are dependent on each other, and everything is a happy thing.Even if you quarrel, you can quickly make up, and you will quickly forget about conflicts.

Lin Mei thought about it for a while and was almost envious, but if it was her, she would think about it and violate it.Because for her, the college entrance examination is close at hand. After the college entrance examination, she can go to a good university, find a good job, and buy a house... Well, basically her life is almost over.

She thought about it for a while, and then her heart stopped.At this time, Zhou Hao came back from confessing to He Qi, and said briskly, "We have agreed."

Seeing her so relaxed, she knew she was fine, Lin Mei asked, "What did he say?"

"He said that his parents also plan to let him go abroad, but it's not confirmed yet. Maybe we will go together at that time?" So the future is really happy and happy.Zhou Que smiled contentedly.

Lin Mei's whole body is going to be bad.Well, since she was reborn, she herself has probably followed the steps, a little faster than before rebirth, a little bit more prophetic, and less detours.She was not dissatisfied before, but maybe she just lacked a surprise in life compared to Tao Tao and Zhou Yu.

Because she has imagined everything, as long as she walks along the road she imagined, she will have an easier life than before, and it will also make her mother's life easier than before.

So the idea of ​​looking for stimulation will be dispelled just by thinking about it.

...Besides, no matter how envious of the pure love between Zhou Yu and He Qi, Lin Mei doesn't think she can hold it now.Imagine if she really found a high school couple now, what would they talk about?

Where did you take the college entrance examination?
what?
Get into a good school and we will continue to be classmates!Then after four years, we will see whether you want to study for a master's degree, a Ph. D., work or study abroad... If you are not in the same school, it is a long-distance relationship. You need to keep in touch, but it doesn't matter if you like someone else, just tell me well...

Ah? ?

Lin Mei probably only thinks about these things in her head.There is only one youth.Even if her body becomes younger, her mind is still old.

On the day of NO.14 Valentine's Day in February, all courses are declared to be over.Teacher Zhao said that the third year of senior high school was a little too nervous last year, so in order to allow more time for review, they rushed to class even more.

"However, I have told you all the things that should be said, and the teacher will take you through it again when reviewing in the future. If there is anything you don't understand, don't worry, just remember to listen carefully." Teacher Zhao said, "The college entrance examination It is different from the high school entrance examination. In the high school entrance examination, you are only competing with people from the city, while the college entrance examination is to compete with people from all over the country. I can say bluntly that good grades in our school are nothing, but in the whole country it is just an ordinary grade. And Everyone knows that schools like Peking University and Tsinghua University will give priority to local candidates, and you have to do better than them to be admitted, so don't be complacent, put your mind at ease first, and then take the college entrance examination."

In this case, everyone is more in the mood to celebrate Valentine's Day.Maybe the pressure is too great, and everyone wants to escape and relax.

The boutiques in front of the school have launched roses and greeting cards, as well as lovely chocolates in small packages.Lin Mei accompanies Zhou Xing to the boutique when she sees it and wants to eat it. When she comes out of the boutique, she pulls Zhou Xing to the supermarket to buy a catty of loose chocolates.

Zhou Jing bought a greeting card and wanted to give it to He Qi. On it, he copied a poem, but he refused to show Lin Mei what kind of poem it was.He Qi's gift in return was a rose, which is not cheap on Valentine's Day, five yuan a stem.

Zhou Que brought back the flowers and kept them in an old drink bottle.

That night, everyone in the dormitory ate Lin Mei's chocolate and chatted.Among the eight people, few people are really talking, one is Zhou Yu and He Qi, and the other is Huang Ling, but no one knows who she is with and has been keeping it secret.It was only recently that it became known that it was her junior high school classmate, and they were not from the same school.That boy came to see her specially today, skipped class on a bicycle, and gave her Andy Lau's tape.

The whole bag was bought by this boy, new.Huang Ling was so touched that the boy had to go back quickly after delivering them, the two talked near the school, Huang Ling bought him two sweet potatoes to warm his hands.

Huang Ling is now laying beside his pillow all the new tapes he sent, and he is opening a box to listen to it.

Then the topic turned to idols.

Everyone reported their favorite idol, of course Zhou Jie is Mike, Lin Mei is Ekin Cheng, and Huang Ling is Andy Lau.Everyone discussed the star's songs and movies until the lights were turned off.

Among them is that Lin Mei is not familiar with Ekin Cheng, he doesn't know his birth date and blood type at all, but he remembers a young and Dangerous boy in the movie, he can't sing any songs, and Huang Ling, who doesn't like Andy Lau, knows much.

Huang Ling stamped and said, "You just think he's handsome, right?"

Lin Mei readily admitted: "I belong to the Appearance Association."

The next day, the "Appearance Association" became Lin Mei's new symbol.The long series of fantasies about her boyfriend's tallness that she said before were all condensed into one sentence, "Lin Mei likes handsome guys".
