Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 20 the eve of the announcement of the results of the middle school examination

The next day, he woke up late decisively, boiled an egg, took an apple, and hurried to the wang family.

By the time she arrived, Duan Meifang and aunt Wang Li had already started work. When they saw that Li Haitang looked tired and had some green eyes, they said with concern, "Haitang, did you not sleep well?"

Li Haitang smiled and said half-truthfully, "There are no clocks and watches at home. There is no concept of time. I read a book last night."

I see. It's really inconvenient without a watch. Now that the peanut butter business is good, we should make some money and buy an electronic watch before school starts. I heard my brother say that electronic watches can be bought in the county for about 40 yuan." Wang Li had wanted to buy a watch for a long time, but forty yuan was a lot of money. She didn't want to ask for it from her family. Now that she had a job to do, she could earn money. She wanted to buy one for herself as a present for the new semester.

Li Haitang naturally agreed to this proposal. She could not see the time. She always felt that she was muddled. Living like this was not what she wanted to pursue.

The factory that sent the peanuts came by at noon. Two thousand kilograms of peanuts piled up half the room, and the whole family started working again.

After two days of practical learning, Wang Li and her mother could also make a good peanut butter. Wang Li's father went to the town's supply and marketing agency to buy two coal stoves and asked the town's coal briquet factory to send two tractors of briquettes.

The four women in the family were responsible for the production and packaging, and father of King was responsible for the pig farm and the fields alone. He was also very tired. Duan Meifang made the decision that day to ask Wang Yao, who worked at the slaughterhouse, to resign and go home.

Wang Yao was obedient to his wife's words, not to mention that he didn't think it was fun to work there. That day, he filed for resignation and went home in the evening.

Li Haitang smiled at the speed with which the couple worked. It was enviable that they were so synchronized.

Wang Yao took the things back to her room, washed her hands and came over to help. As she cut the peanut butter, she joked with Duan Meifang, "Mei fang, I resigned from my job as you told me. I'll have to rely on you to support me in the future. You can't despise me for eating soft food in the future."

"Haha... Haha..." Wang Li's sister was the first to laugh unkindly.

Duan Meifang gave him a coquettish look and said with a laugh, "I didn't realize you were so glib before. The older you get, the thicker your skin gets. Hmph, help at home for a few days first, and then run to the supply and marketing agencies in a few nearby towns in a few days. Leave the family to me, and the outside to you. No soft food."

Wang Yao was taken aback by her gaze and said with a playful smile, "Yes, my lady."

Duan Meifang smiled and said, "Let's work harder today. Work overtime. Tomorrow morning is half a day off. We'll go to school with li er and haitang to see the results."

"Okay." Everyone agreed with this decision.

Wang Li, who had always been lively and cheerful, was a little nervous at the thought of tomorrow's results. He was a little distracted at work, and two pots of sugar had been overcooked.

The next morning, Li Haitang had just gotten up to wash up and comb his hair in the room when there was a knock on the door. She put down her comb and walked over to open the door. Seeing that it was Li Tao in clean clothes, she asked, "Li Tao, why are you here so early? What's the matter?"

Li Tao was wearing a set of blue shorts and short clothes, his hands in his pockets, and his tone was a little ruffian, "Isn't today the day for the middle school entrance examination? I'll go with you to see your grades, and dad, who took a half-day off today, is waiting on the road outside. Hurry up."

Somewhere in Li Haitang's heart softened and the corners of his mouth widened a little. He immediately went into the house, picked up his schoolbag, and went out with him. As he walked, he asked, "It's still early. Have you had breakfast?"

"No, dad said to buy a bun in town." Li Tao said lightly.

Li Haitang smiled and said, "There is an old shop in town that has wontons that are very delicious. Today, I'll treat you to wontons, a big bowl."

Li Tao's eyes lit up immediately. He had eaten with his mother before when they went to the market. The taste was really good. The important thing was that there was a lot of meat in it.

Li Jianguo came here on a bicycle. Li Tao was sitting on the bar in front of him, and Li Haitang was sitting in the back seat. It was hard to pick them up. Soon, the clothes on his back were wet.

The middle school examination is a very important day for students. On this day, many parents accompany their children to school to see their results. Along the way, they met a lot of acquaintances. When they saw that Li Jianguo and his son had resumed their relationship with Li Haitang, and they were even more harmonious than before, the gossipy people naturally came together to talk.

It was still early when they arrived in town, and the school was not yet open, but the business in the shops on both sides of the town was already booming.

The bicycle stopped at the door of the wonton shop. After Li Haitang jumped out of the car, he went straight into the shop and ordered three bowls of wonton and three tea eggs.

After Li Jianguo parked his bike, he brought Li Tao in. He met two acquaintances in the shop and greeted them. Then the father and son sat down at the table.

There were a lot of people eating breakfast in the shop, and there were many people who knew them. They got together in twos and threes and started whispering.

Li Haitang was no longer surprised by the situation. He ignored the various eyes of those people and slowly peeled the tea egg in front of him.

Li Tao naturally heard what some people said. After all, he was young, and his skin was thin. His tanned face was flushed with embarrassment.

Li Haitang could not help but tease him when he saw his appearance, "Li Tao, do you think my reputation is very famous?"

Li Tao looked at her speechlessly and gave her a white eye. Why didn't he notice that she had such a strange personality before? She used to keep her head down and remain silent. It seemed that he had really neglected her existence.

After a large bowl of steaming hot wonton was served, the three of them silently picked up their spoons and began to eat. They drank up all the soup and ingredients without wasting anything. Li Haitang got up to settle the bill and walked to the school gate with the father and son.

The wang family came over after breakfast at home. The whole family gathered together and were chatting with other acquaintances in Wang jia village.

Wang Li's round eyes searched the crowd. When he saw Li Haitang's figure, he immediately waved and shouted, "Haitang, here, we'll wait for you here."

The three of them walked over. Li Haitang greeted the wang family, Wang Li also called Li Jianguo uncle, and Li Jianguo took the initiative to greet the wang family.

The wang family did not expect Li Jianguo and his son to accompany Li Haitang. They guessed in their hearts that their relationship had eased a lot. Some people cared about Li Haitang, so they naturally enjoyed it. Although not from the same village, they all knew each other and became familiar with each other after a few words.

The adults were chatting, and the children were talking together. Wang Li held Li Haitang's arm tightly and said nervously, "Haitang, are you nervous? I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep last night. It wasn't until the middle of the night that I couldn't stand it anymore that I fell asleep. I woke up at first light today."

Li Haitang saw a layer of blood in her eyes and looked tired. He comforted her, "Don't be nervous. You have to believe in yourself. It will be fine."

Wang Li took a deep breath and sighed, "That's what my family told me, but I just can't be quiet. Well, it's only the middle school exam now, so I'm so nervous. If the results of the college entrance examination are announced in the future, I'll probably go crazy."

Li Haitang laughed and joked, "It's okay. You're just nervous when you announce your results, not during the exams, and you're saved."

"Ah, haitang, you're still teasing me." Wang Li gave her an exaggerated pat on the shoulder, but after a laugh like that, she was not as nervous as before.

After laughing for a while, Li Haitang took out a few white rabbit candies from his schoolbag and gave each of the children one.

Wang Li happily ate the milk candy and teased, "Haitang, you've really eaten this bag of white rabbit milk candy for a long time. You haven't finished it in a month."

Li Haitang smiled and said, "You know I don't usually like to eat snacks. I only take one when I remember. This one isn't much. I'm almost done."

Wang li was about to say something when her eyes caught sight of the school gate. She saw the principal, the teaching director and all the class teachers in grade three coming out together. They were still holding red paper in their hands. She shouted with joy, "Come out, the results are out."

They were standing closer to each other. Wang Li's parents dashed over and asked anxiously, "President Wan, Mr. Tang, how's our little girl doing?"

President Wan laughed, raised the red paper in his hand, and said in a loud voice, "Your Wang Li made great progress in the last half month. He did well this time. He was 12th in the year. He passed the County one middle school admission line. He will give out the report card in the classroom later. You can see the specific score."

Mother of Wangli turned around excitedly and hugged his daughter. He laughed and said, "Lier, do you hear me? My good daughter, you got 12th place in the grade and got into the County one middle school. Haha."

Wang Li was also shocked by her results, and then hugged her mother, crying and laughing.

When the parents behind saw that Wang Li did so well in the exam, they all went forward to congratulate the smiling wang parents. Li Jianguo also went forward to congratulate them and then chased after them and asked, "What about president Wan, Mr. Tang, Li Haitang's grades?"

President Wan and teacher Tang Hui looked at each other, smiled and sold a key point, said: "Li Haitang's score, you should look at the red list."

They knew it, but they didn't tell you. It was so frustrating. Li Jianguo couldn't ask anymore, so he had to wait to see the red list.

After Wang Li hugged her mother and laughed, she turned around and laughed with Li Haitang. Li Haitang really helped her get into the County one middle school so smoothly. She was very grateful to her.
