Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 21 first place in tan city

There are nearly 400 students in the third year of Ping shan middle school. The red list, which is more than 20 meters long, is posted on the wall outside the school gate. The red list announces the students' names, grades and rankings.

Everyone knew that Li Haitang and Wang Li were naturally at the top of the class. A group of people crowded in front of them. When they saw Wang Li's name, Wang Tiao, who was standing in front of the crowd, walked around and shouted, "Second sister, your total score is 658 points, the twelfth in the whole year."

Wang Li was satisfied with the score and shouted through the crowd, "Wang Tiao, look for haitang's name."

Wang Tiao didn't look for Li Haitang's name at all. She ran straight to the top. As expected, the first one was her. Her voice was sharp and bright, "Sister haitang is the first one, with a total score of 692 points."

"692 Points!" Wang Li's eyes widened when he heard the score. He was actually thirty points higher than her. Was he human?

With the wang brothers and sisters so dedicated to the news, hundreds of people in front of the school all knew Li Haitang's results in the blink of an eye. Everyone looked at Li Haitang with admiration, surprise, envy, and jealousy.

The client, Li Haitang, was also taken aback. The final score was a few points higher than what she had estimated at the time, and she was very satisfied with it.

It was rare for Li Jianguo to smile happily, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to fade a little.

Li Tao looked at Li Haitang with a complicated look. After a long time, she muttered, "She only got eight points wrong for the total score of 700 points. Is that human?"

Mr. Tang Hui's amiable face was full of smiles. She was wearing a green qipao skirt today, which looked very elegant and generous. She walked around the crowd and took the initiative to walk in front of Li Haitang and the others. She said proudly, "Li Haitang, you did very well in the middle school examination. Not only did you win the first place in our Ping shan middle school, but also in Shaoxian, and also in tan city. The teacher is here to tell you that Tam city 1 middle school has 673 points on this year's admission line. You were accepted as the number one student. Director Sun, the teaching director of the Tam city 1 middle school, has come himself. He is waiting to see you in the office."

"Wow, number one in tan city! Haitang, can you be more powerful? Why don't you go to heaven? Oh my god, I'm going to faint." The bystander, wang li, was even more excited than her client, and her expression was especially exaggerated.

"Hehe... Hehe..." Teacher Tang Hui was amused by her funny expression, and the others all laughed.

Li Jianguo only felt that he had never been so nervous in his life. His rough hands patted Li Haitang on the shoulder and reminded him, "Haitang, stop staring. Hurry to school. Director Sun is waiting for you inside."

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm going." Li Haitang, who had always been calm, had a momentary blank in his mind. When he came back to his senses, he followed Mr. Tang Hui into the school gate in a daze.

Wang li saw that Li Haitang was really accepted by the tan city One middle. She was both happy and sad. Unfortunately, her grades were far worse. Otherwise, how good would it be if two good friends were in the same school?

Duan Meifang, who was holding the child, pushed wang li and reminded her, "Lier, you should go to school and get your report card too. Today is a good day. In order to celebrate for the two of you, let's go back and prepare a big meal. You and haitang will come back for dinner later."

"Hey, okay." Wang Li immediately greeted everyone and ran into the school.

Li Jianguo and Li Tao wanted to go home, but father of King took them to the wang family, saying they were celebrating the two children together. Li Jianguo finally agreed and took Li Tao to the market to buy some meat dishes, some wine and sugar, and then went to the wang family.

On the way to the wang family, Li Tao, who was sitting in the back seat, held a fish in his left hand and a piece of meat in his right hand. He stared at his father's firm back and said in a less impetuous tone than usual, "Dad, she is so good at studying. She will definitely get into a good university in the future. Will she go to her biological parents?"

Li Jianguo's back stiffened and shook his head, "I don't know. I don't think so. I've heard from you, Yuanhua Uncle, that haitang's mother had another pair of children, a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, a year older than you. Her biological father was a big businessman, a capital citizen, and had a rich family. With so much money, it was easy to raise one more person, but they never came back to look for her. Even her grandparents did not show any sign of coming back, which was enough to show that they did not want to recognize haitang. Haitang is so smart, so naturally she knows that with her proud nature, she probably won't go to them."

Li Tao was silent for a long time and said gloomily, "She doesn't have any other family, so I'll treat her as one."

Li Jianguo pursed his dry lips and said nothing.

"I was ignorant in the past. I did a lot of things that I did wrong to her. I will definitely correct it in the future." Li Tao had been reflecting on himself these days, and his father was enlightened. He often talked to him face to face. Both father and son seemed to have changed.

Li Jianguo was relieved, "Okay. Haitang was a sensible child, and her father was not worried about her. Now that she has set an example for you, you should also study hard. Dad doesn't ask you to be admitted to the One middle, so it's enough to get into the One middle. In the future, qualifications and diplomas will become more and more important. The only way out is to go to college. You should stop fooling around."

"Okay, I got it." Li Tao had indeed been stimulated by Li Haitang recently, and his temper had improved a lot.

On the other side, Li Haitang followed president Wan and the head teacher into the office and met director Sun, the Tam city 1 middle school's teaching director.

Director Sun was a man in his early forties with strong features. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, gray trousers and leather shoes, a black briefcase and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which added a bit of elegance to his demeanor.

After president Wan's introduction, Li Haitang said graciously, "Director Sun, hello, I'm Li Haitang."

Li Haitang was dressed very neatly today, just like the current students. Her temperament was quiet, her performance was calm, and her appearance was dignified and beautiful. Director Sun's first impression of her was very good.

He had already learned about her family from the Ping shan middle school before, and saw that she had grown up in that environment and maintained a peaceful attitude. He had looked up on her for her outstanding results.

He exchanged a few words with Li Haitang, asked her about her situation, and then introduced her to the general situation of the Tam city 1 middle school. With such a good attitude and outstanding results, every school would try their best to recruit the top students. Since her family conditions were more difficult, director Sun immediately offered to arrange a work-study job for her in school, so that she could concentrate on her studies and not worry about the subsequent life problems.

Although Li Haitang was confident that she could earn enough tuition and living expenses, she would not reject the offer from the Tam city 1 middle school and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, director Sun. Li Haitang will not disappoint your expectations."

"Okay. This is the admission notice, as well as the matters needing attention when entering the school. You should take a good look at it when you go back. School starts on september 1st. There will be five days of military training before school starts. Don't miss it. Remember to report to school on time." Director Sun took out a document from his briefcase and gave it to her.

Li Haitang took it with both hands and smiled, "Okay, I'll be there on time."

"Okay, then you and your homeroom teacher should go to the classroom first. I'll talk to your principal later. Goodbye to the Tam city 1 middle school." Director Sun smiled amiably.

"Okay, director Sun, bye." Li Haitang got up and said, finally saying hello to president Wan, then left the office with the class teacher, Mr. Tang Hui.

As soon as she left the house, teacher Tang Hui patted her on the shoulder lovingly and said with a smile, "Li Haitang, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" Li Haitang was really grateful to Mr. Tang. If it weren't for her, perhaps there wouldn't be today. Mr. Tang's kindness to her would have been in her heart for the rest of her life.

When Li Haitang returned to the classroom, she naturally received a wave of admiration. When she saw the Tam city 1 middle school acceptance letter in her hand, one by one, she coaxed her to treat.

Mr. Tang wanted to stop it. After all, she knew about Li Haitang's situation, but Li Haitang took the lead and agreed. He generously offered 13 yuan to the fastest runner in the class to buy mung bean popsicles.

Mung bean popsicles cost twenty cents each, and there were more than sixty students in the class, each one of them. On the plus side, both the good and the bad came over to congratulate them, and Li Haitang began to chat modestly with them.

This time in the middle school examination, they did well in class one, grade three of junior high school. In addition to her being accepted by Tam city 1 middle school, there were also four students who passed the admission score line of the County one middle school and more than a dozen went to other ordinary high schools. Most of the others were admitted to technical secondary school, and some of them didn't want to continue their studies and planned to go south to work.

Mr. Tang handed out their transcripts. When Wang Li saw Li Haitang's transcripts, he once again exaggerated loudly, "Wow, haitang, you have another full score of six categories, 99 points in physics, and only one point and another full score. I really want to knock your brain open to see if the structure is different from others?"

Li Haitang smiled helplessly. In fact, she was a very low-key person. With such a deskmate, she could not be low-key at all. She turned her head to look at Wang Li's report card and raised her eyebrows, "You're not bad either. Your history scores are full marks from grade one to grade three. This time, your physical health is full marks. There are also two full marks."

"Far from your six." Wang Li curled his lips.

The results of the middle school examination were in hand, the mung bean popsicle was in his mouth, and the teacher's last words were in his ears. The students who had been together for three years suddenly felt a little reluctant. A few of the avant-garde students took out a long prepared album with a portrait of a star on it and began to write their blessings and signatures one by one.

The classroom was buzzing until noon, and it was not until the head teacher came to remind the school that the door was about to close that everyone left reluctantly.

Li Haitang learned from wang li that the wang family was preparing lunch for them. The two of them paid for a bag of popsicles, a big watermelon and ten bottles of the most popular soda.

After returning to the wang family, the hall was bustling with activity. The adult men gathered together to blow the fan and crack the melon seeds. Wang Tiao and Li Tao were playing with marbles. As for the wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they were cooking in the kitchen. The delicious smell came straight into the hall. The two people who had just entered the house couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Seeing the two of them coming back with so many good things, Wang Tiao immediately threw down the marbles and greeted them. He consciously sent each of them an ice stick and a bottle of soda.

Li Haitang put the big watermelon in his arms into the well water in the backyard and froze. After turning back, he smiled and gave the acceptance letter in his bag to Li Jianguo, "Dad, the acceptance letter from the Tam city 1 middle school."

Li Jianguo smiled with relief, his rough hands carefully taking the acceptance letter. The surface of the acceptance letter was printed with the appearance of the Tam city 1 middle school campus, which looked more imposing than the County one middle school, and the contents were just like the ordinary acceptance letter.

It was the first time anyone had seen the acceptance letter from the Tam city 1 middle school, and it was everyone's turn to read it. While they were admiring it, Li Haitang told them what director Sun had said.

Wang yao said with a smile, "This is good. If you can do a work-study program in school that doesn't affect your studies, your living expenses will naturally be no problem. If your grades are outstanding, the school will have scholarships and so on. You don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses. You can study hard."

Li Haitang smiled and reached out to amuse the little soldier who was drooling with a soda bottle.

Wang Li held her acceptance letter and sighed, "The treatment of the first place in tan city is really different. Your school's dean came so far to personally send you the acceptance letter. I really envy him. Our acceptance letter is still half a month away, and I'm looking forward to it."

Wang Li's father took a bite of the popsicle and smiled lovingly, "You've been at the same table with haitang for so long. Why didn't you study with her earlier? If it had been two months earlier, with your progress rate, you might have entered the city's One middle."

Wang Li was very self-aware and said, "It's impossible. Although I have made great progress in mathematics and physics, I am still far from entering the city's One middle. Xue Cage from class three had always been second in the class. This time he did well, but he was still a few points away from the City one middle school admission score. On the way back, I heard that he was accepted by the major class of the City one middle school."

"It's great to get into a key class. I heard from my brother-in-law that there will be a new entrance exam for the County one middle school at the beginning of school. You should take advantage of this summer vacation to study hard and try to get into the key class at the beginning of school." Wang Yao told her the news.

When wang li saw Li Haitang enter the Tam city 1 middle school with the first place in the city, she was as motivated as a chicken's blood and said seriously, "Okay, I must get into the key class so that I won't be left behind by haitang too much."

Father of King smiled and said, "Both of you are good. Jue' er and Li Tao should study like your two sisters. If you don't know anything about your studies, ask your two sisters for advice early and enter the County one middle school or the city's One middle in the future."

The two people he named were happily drinking soda and uttered a slurred "Mmm." In this era, soda was a foreign product. It was the biggest in the world.

The "Celebration banquet" at noon was very sumptuous. Mother of Wangli killed a big rooster, two big drumsticks for stewing, Li Haitang and Wang Li each one, and the rest for braising. In addition, he made a boiled fish, a large bowl of pork with plum, a bowl of stir-fried bacon with green pepper, a bowl of home-cooked tofu, a large pot of luffa soup, and a tomato with sugar.

Although the living conditions in the late 1980s were much better than those in the past few years, it was also rare for such a big fish and meat to live in such a big way that they might not be able to eat so much during the new year.

Li Haitang knew that it was Wang Li's light and was very touched. He offered to drink a glass of soda for the king and his mother. Thank them for taking care of him these days.

Li Jianguo had never known that this adopted daughter had such an air of character. He had no superfluous thoughts in his mind and lamented that she was too young and knew how to hide.

Li Tao's heart was also touched. He bit his chopsticks and looked at her as if he didn't know her.

This meal was very enjoyable and everyone was very full. After dinner, Wang Li cut the watermelon. After eating the watermelon, Li Jianguo left for work in the granary. Li Tao stayed at the wang family to play and watch Li Haitang and the others make peanut butter.

It was about half past five when Li Haitang took Li Tao home.

As soon as they entered the village, they met the villagers who came out to work. Naturally, they got the news that Li Haitang was accepted by the tan city One middle. They all congratulated her and several families invited her to sit at home to help their children with their homework.

Living here, she couldn't be a recluse. The daily interactions between her neighbors were still needed, so she agreed. The wang family's business was on the right track, and she didn't need to go there often. She could also leave more time at home to work on her new goals. Naturally, she had time to visit the village.

After parting ways with Li Tao, Li Haitang went home and took a bucket of water to the well to bring back two buckets of water. After cooking the rice, he picked up the remaining chili in the house, stir-fried an egg with green pepper, and mixed it with a tomato.

She happily finished two bowls of rice, washed the bowls, and then took a big bucket of water into the house to take a bath. After that, she continued to sit at the desk and organize the modern poems she had written for the past two days.

It was getting hotter and hotter, so she had to use her left hand fan and her right hand to write.
