Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 28 you can be my deskmate

Sleep well all night until dawn.

When Li Haitang woke up the next morning, he looked at his watch. It was exactly 6: 10. She got up and changed into a clean white short-sleeved dress with a navy knee-length skirt underneath. She combed the hair that had grown to her shoulders during this period of time and tied two ponytails in the middle, making her look especially fresh and playful.

After washing up, she picked up her heavy schoolbag and walked out with a military-green bag in her hand. It was the most fashionable and fashionable bag she had bought in the county, which contained several titles and clothes, as well as the peanut butter and other sweets that the wang family had forcefully stuffed for her.

As soon as she walked down a small road, she saw Li Jianguo waiting for her on her bicycle. She trotted over and smiled, "Dad, how long have you been waiting for?"

"Not too long ago." Li Jianguo put down her bicycle, reached out for her handbag, tied it up on the crossbar in front of her, and then drove her to town.

They still ate a bowl of wonton in the old woman's shop. After Li Jianguo sent her to the bus, he gave her some advice and rode his bicycle to the granary to work.

After swaying on the bus several times, Li Haitang did not feel as bad as he had felt at first. He arrived at the county in less than an hour.

At this time, the weather was getting hotter. She took out a small bottle from her schoolbag and brought some cold tea from her home. After taking a sip, she felt the heat in her body drop a little. He found a dark place in the bus station to rest for a few minutes before he went to the ticket office to buy tickets.

The earliest bus to the city was at nine, but it was only half past eight. Li Haitang had to find a wooden chair in the waiting room to sit down and wait.

While waiting, she took out a book from her bag and continued reading where she hadn't finished the last time.

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged couple in their forties came over with a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. The woman's voice was very gentle and she said, "This classmate, there are no empty chairs to sit in the waiting room. Can we rest here?"

Li Haitang looked up from the book and saw that the other person had delicate eyebrows, elegant and noble temperament, lipstick on his lips, a slightly plump figure, a rose-red dress in the style of a good cheongsam, and slightly curly hair. This was the most fashionable woman she had ever seen in this era.

She immediately moved her bag on the ground to the side and herself to the side. She smiled and said, "Uncle, auntie, sit down."

"Hey, thank you." The woman sat down next to Li Haitang, and the man and child beside her also sat down.

The middle-aged woman glanced at the book in Li Haitang's hand and took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "This classmate, are you going out alone? Where are your parents?"

Li Haitang closed the book in his hand, pursed his lips and replied, "Auntie, I went to school to report today. I didn't ask my parents to send me off."

The middle-aged woman was slightly surprised and smiled gently, "You don't look very old, but you have the guts to bring your luggage to school alone. Today, my son also went to school to report, and our husband and wife specially asked for leave to pick him up."

Li Haitang glanced at the boy sitting on the far side and smiled at him when he saw that his expression was a little unnatural.

The middle-aged woman naturally noticed her son's expression and continued to smile, "Are you going to high school? Which school is it?"

Li Haitang said calmly, "Tam city 1 middle school, go to the Senior one this year."

"Ah? Then it's a coincidence that you and my son are in the same school." The smile on the middle-aged woman's lips widened a little. She waved at her son and said, "Yunyang, this girl is your schoolmate. Come and meet her."

The boy had a faint blush behind his ears. He got up and walked over. There was a little shyness in his voice, "Hello, my name is Zhou Yunyang. Nice to meet you."

"Zhou Yunyang?" Li Haitang thought the name was familiar. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and he said in surprise, "Are you Xu Yueyang's cousin Zhou Yunyang?"

Their family's expressions changed, apparently not expecting the little girl they met on the road to know Xu Yueyang. Zhou Yunyang nodded and asked curiously, "Do you know my cousin?"

Li Haitang smiled generously at them and said in a neither servile nor haughty tone, "Yes, I met him and Jiang Chuheng at the county cinema a while ago. He also mentioned you to me and specifically told me to meet you after school and make friends with each other."

Zhou Yunyang seemed to remember something as well. He touched the back of his head and stared at her with bright eyes. "My cousin told me before he went back. You are the first Li Haitang from the Ping shan middle school in the middle school examination this year, right?"

Li Haitang was so frightened by his eyes that he nodded his head in a daze, "Yes, I am Li Haitang."

The Zhou family parents looked at her differently now. They all remembered what Xu Yueyang had said to them before he left. He had reminded the little girl many times that it was not easy to let Yunyang learn from her.

They were still puzzled before, but now when they saw Li Haitang in person, they realized that although she was dressed more ordinarily, her overall temperament was not vulgar, and she was very different from the children from the countryside, not at all weaker than the children carefully cultivated by many good families in the city, and they immediately understood.

Zhou Yunyang didn't think as much as his parents did. He stared at Li Haitang with wolf-like eyes, then squatted down in front of her and suddenly said, "Li Haitang, you can be my deskmate."

"Ah?" Li Haitang was confused. What was going on?

Zhou Yunyang didn't explain to her. He turned to his father excitedly and said, "Dad, I want to be in the same class as Li Haitang. She's my deskmate."

Li Haitang: ..." Is that okay? Why is this kid a little weird?

Father zhou, who had a slightly refined face, looked slightly embarrassed. This kid really didn't understand the world at all. He was so rash and took the initiative to sit at the same table with a female classmate. Wasn't that purposely embarrassing?

Mother zhou smiled helplessly and had to explain to the embarrassed Li Haitang, "Li Haitang, I'm really sorry. Our Yunyang has such a temper. He doesn't have any bad thoughts. He just sticks to the students with good grades and always wants to compete in the exams."

Li Haitang blinked her long, thick eyelashes and smiled, "Oh, I see. I also like to communicate with students with good grades, so that we can improve together. If we were in the same class, the same table would be fine. If we weren't in the same class, we could talk after class."

She finally understood that Zhou Yunyang was a typical study maniac. This kind of person had a relatively simple mind, and she liked this type of person.

Zhou Yunyang laughed foolishly as soon as she heard it. She leaned over to read the book in her hand, "Modern physics and eastern mysticism." Eh, I haven't read this book yet. Where did you buy it? Can you lend it to me after you read it?"

Li Haitang stepped back slightly, keeping a polite distance from him, and said with a slight smile, "I bought this book in a small shop in the snack street behind shao County one middle school. I think it's a little interesting. If you want to read it now, take it."

"Sure, lend it to me first. I have a lot of books here too. You can read them." Zhou Yunyang immediately ran back to her seat and picked up her bag. She zipped it up and let her choose.

Li Haitang saw the book in his bag, and her eyes lit up. She handed the book in her hand to Zhou Yunyang, squatted down and picked it out in his bag naturally. Instead of flipping through it randomly, she picked one out from the written catalog and said happily, "Zhou Yunyang, I borrowed this book, how god rolls the dice."

"Okay, take whatever you want."

Zhou Yunyang didn't even look at her, so he squatted down and started reading. Li Haitang was in the same situation, squatting down with him and reading.

Zhou Yunyang's parents looked at each other helplessly. No wonder Xu Yueyang left and right before he left. It turned out that he had found his son a study maniac with the same mind.

Half an hour later, there was an announcement on the radio that the 9: 00 train to tan city was leaving. Mother zhou, who hadn't disturbed the two of them reading, reminded them, "Yunyang, Li Haitang, we're leaving. Let's get in the car first."

Li Haitang took a look at the number of pages and immediately closed the book. When he got up, he rubbed his sore calf, picked up his luggage and followed the three of them out of the waiting room.

After they got in the car and settled their luggage, Zhou Yunyang took the initiative to sit with Li Haitang. They didn't say a word and read the book with great interest.

Halfway through, Li Haitang stopped to look at his watch, took a sip of herbal tea, and asked mother zhou, who was sitting in the same row, "Auntie, how long will it take us to get to the city?"

Mother zhou naturally noticed the watch on her wrist. There was a hint of meaning in her eyes, but it didn't show. Her voice was still gentle and said, "It will take two hours. Now we are only halfway there."

"Thank you." Li Haitang smiled lightly and then lowered his head to continue reading.

It was eleven o' clock when they arrived in tan city, and the sun was at its worst. After leaving the bus stop, the driver of the Zhou family came to pick up their family in a small car. Li Haitang took their car to the school to report under Zhou Yunyang's gracious invitation.

Tan city's economy is much better than shao county's. The concrete road is very flat and spacious. Three or four stories of buildings on both sides of the street are built next to each other. Occasionally, a large factory building can be seen.

There are not many families with cars in this era, and there will be no traffic jam on the road. They arrived at the Tam city 1 middle school in less than 20 minutes.

Li Haitang guessed from the behavior and conversation of Zhou family's parents that their identities were not simple. She did not ask much and followed them all the way to school to report in silence.
