i was my mistake

"I'm more tired than when I was in school..."

"However, studying here seems to have a little more atmosphere than at Zhao Jinyu's house."

"After all, it is in the classroom. Although there is no one there, once you sit in, it feels like a place to study."

Probably because he was finally going to rest, Ye Chen's brain, which had wanted to stop thinking at one point, was running fast at this moment, as if a certain limiter had been broken. It is extremely simple.

——Obviously I’ve done it many times before, it’s just a change, but in fact, it doesn’t take much effort to figure out how to do it!

"I've written it!"

"So fast, did you write it blindly?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Wait a minute..." Wan Qing ignored him, and began to focus on writing the question again. The draft book next to her had used up more than half a page for this question. After a while, she raised her head and let out a sigh of relief, " I don't know if it's right..."

"What did you come up with?"

"What about you?"

The two compared the answers, and they were not the same.

So I turned to the end and found the correct answer.

"Hey, you kid, did you do it right?"

"Haha, don't underestimate me!"

"Let me look at the problem-solving ideas..."

"Actually, his writing is rather complicated. This question is very simple. You can cover this part first, so..."

Following his explanation, Wan Qing was gradually enlightened, looked him up and down in amazement and astonishment, as if it was the first time she knew 'myself': "Your boy...has he enlightened?"

"Hey, it's okay, I just suddenly found the trick, and this kind of similar questions can't trouble me anymore!"

"I'm proud of you...Okay, take a rest...I'm tired too."

Wan Qing yawned, bit off a big mouthful of bread, stuffed it all into her mouth, like a gluttonous hamster, contentedly enjoying the hard-won delicacy of this era.

……

43. Walk in the rain

In the afternoon, the typhoon roared.

But for some reason, sitting in this empty classroom felt particularly at ease.

The two of them are not writing comprehensive questions at the moment, Ye Chen is memorizing English vocabulary, and Wan Qing is casually flipping through the reading comprehension in the workbook - without doing the questions, just simply reading.

This is probably a kind of relaxation.

She even took off her shoes, sat on a chair with her knees hugged, and wrapped her whole body in a coat, as warm as if she was under a quilt.

The raindrops were blown by the wind, 'crackling' beating on the windows.

Ye Chen suddenly sneezed, wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and wiped it on the back of the chair.

"What time is it?" He asked selfishly, then raised his head to look at the clock on the blackboard, "It's past three o'clock."

"It's still early." Wan Qing glanced at the gray world outside the window, "Let's go back when the typhoon subsides."

"That's right, otherwise you won't be able to ride a bicycle..." Ye Chen muttered, rubbing his belly, "By the way... Wan Qing, are you hungry?"

"Are you hungry just after eating a piece of bread?" She turned the pen in her hand and smiled without looking up.

"I always feel like I didn't eat any dinner..." Ye Chen coughed dryly, "It's mainly because I didn't eat in the morning."

"I don't know if the commissary is still open."

"...No one is at the school, should it be closed?"

"Isn't it still open in the morning? Maybe some teachers are still working."

"That's right, anyway, the owner of the commissary lives here, and no one is open so it won't delay things." Ye Chen moved over shyly, "Wan Qing... buy something to eat?"

"Buy two buckets of instant noodles, and add two ham sausages."

"Okay!" He nodded his head immediately.

Instant noodles have not been nicknamed "junk food" in this era. After all, the price is relatively expensive. For ordinary people, it is still a small luxury.

"I had a dream when I was young, that I could eat instant noodles every day when I grew up, and eat instant noodles with different flavors..." Wan Qing lowered her head and put her small jade feet into her canvas shoes, "This Later, my wish came true, but at that time, people who had no money and no time ate instant noodles, and...eating instant noodles every day was really disgusting."

"Ah, the future is so good. Is instant noodles already the food of the poor?" Ye Chen saw a completely different point.

"...Cut, if you eat instant noodles every day, you will definitely feel like throwing up, but if you haven't eaten for a long time, it's good to eat once in a while." She said, bent down to put on her shoes, then stood up and walked to the door, " Let's go and buy instant noodles."

"go!"

Ye Chen jumped up excitedly. After all, Wanqing was in charge of the money. He usually couldn't do it if he wanted to buy something by himself. It was a rare opportunity to go to the commissary, so he couldn't miss it.

When the door was opened to the inside, a gust of wind blew head-on, and a lot of rain had already fallen into the corridor only surrounded by railings.

However, the school took this into consideration at the beginning of the design, so there is a sunken drainage ditch near the railing. The ditch is so small that it is usually not noticed at all, but it can come in handy at this time.

Wan Qing walked on the wet ground, even though Ye Chen beside her was not tall, she still looked very petite.

"Hello, Qing'er."

"..." Ye Chen didn't want to be called this nickname at all, but Wanqing was staring at him straight, so he could only grunt reluctantly, "Well...why, don't call me that name, it's weird Awkward."

"I always feel that your hair grows a little fast recently?"

"It's okay, hasn't it been a month since I shaved it?" Ye Chen touched the hair that could touch the pinna, "It's okay, it's not too long, too short will be too cold."

"Are your eyes a little bigger?"

"It must be because I insist on doing eye exercises every day recently." Ye Chen is very sure, "It seems that squinting eyes can also be changed!"

Wan Qing wanted to call him nonsense, but the facts were in front of her, so she couldn't say anything to refute: "Usually I stay together all day, I don't feel much, but I didn't see you yesterday, and now I feel that you It's so much more beautiful."

"Uh, although it's nice to be handsome..." Ye Chen touched his Adam's apple, "But it always feels like his Adam's apple has become smaller."

"Hmm—" Wan Qing turned to the left and then to the right, and took a closer look, "It has indeed become much smaller."

"It always feels weird."

Wan Qing suddenly frowned, as if thinking of something.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head lightly, then turned and walked downstairs.

The canteen is on the first floor of the teaching building, but it is on the back side, that is, the side near the playground.

This is a small room, and there are not many students at the moment, but it still looks spacious, but if a group of students flock in to buy things, it will be too crowded to walk.

At the end of the long room, there are two windows that are being washed by the rain. The window frames are stained with rust, and many dark green creepers are hanging down from the wall, letting the wind and rain blow.

The long wooden cabinet is both a counter and a shelf.

There are some popular snacks on top.

And most of them are in bulk.

If you can’t afford a pack of spicy noodles for [-] cents, you can buy three loose sticks of the same taste for a dime.

Spicy strips, spicy slices, dried plums, and even chewing gum can be bought piece by piece.

And on the shelves against the wall at the back, there are a variety of products, all of which are nostalgic brands.

— even if they were no longer so familiar to her.

Don't think that there are very few types of instant noodles in this era. In fact, there are still more than a dozen types to choose from.

But there are not many instant noodles with oil and vegetables like Yinshifu instant noodles.

Most of them have only one powder packet, which tastes quite light, and a few have oil packets, but it is just a simple mixture of some ingredients, and the taste is not so rich.

The boss who was sitting on the chair and reading the newspaper took a big sip of water from the tea mug with the words "Labor is the most glorious" printed on it, and spit the tea back into the cup with a bah sound: "What do you want to buy? ——Today Isn't it a suspension?"

"Well, it's all here, let's study by myself for a while before going back."

"Haha, it's hard work, I'm sure I'll be able to get into a good university!" The boss smiled heartily, "If my son can be like you, he won't even be able to get into a high school."

Ye Chen, a scumbag, looked a little embarrassed. He felt that he was really not the kind of good student who could be a role model.

Wan Qing raised her head and glanced at the shelves. The most abundant ones were the Nanjiecun instant noodles packaged in yellow and white.

Its quantity is not because it is delicious, but because it is cheap.

The second is Yinshifu instant noodles, which cost [-] cents a pack. The main feature is vegetable buns, and beef cubes that can be eaten—even if it’s just a tiny bit.

In this era when most instant noodles don't even have side dishes, it is already quite advanced.

There is also minced meat noodles. The name of this thing is quite confusing. In fact, there is probably no meat in it, and there is no oil bag, only a powder bag-the smell of meat comes from this powder bag.

The kids will often debate whether the meat is powdered or just some meaty chemical seasoning is added, but all in all, it does have a meaty smell, and the noodles are chewy, and the overall taste is not bad .

"Bag or barrel?" Ye Chen swallowed, and turned to look at Wan Qing.

"The bagged ones can also be soaked. I have a lunch box here. Here, it's clean."

"Then...in a bag."

In the end, Wan Qing ordered a piece of minced meat noodles, while Ye Chen ordered a pack of the most advanced Silver Braised Beef Noodles.

The boss quickly opened the package, put the bread into two aluminum lunch boxes, and just 'snapped' the lids.

The two waited for three to five minutes at the small table beside them. The noodles were ready soon, and the sausage was cut and thrown in.

The torrential rain was isolated, but it seemed that the hot noodle soup in front of him was even more delicious.

Take another sip of noodle soup, and at that moment, I even feel that I am living a wonderful life like a fairy.

……

Although the rain was a little lighter, it only changed from heavy rain to heavy rain.

The raindrops were hitting the canopy, but Ye Chen was sweating profusely at this moment.

"what happened?"

"Uh... this... the key, I can't pull it out..."

"...Be careful and try?"

"Then you come?"

"I come."

Wan Qing tried to turn it left and right, and then heard a 'crack', only half of the car key was left in her hand.

Ye Chen drooped his eyelids.

"……cough."

"What should I do? There's no car repair shop nearby. Damn...and there's nothing that can break the car lock."

"...uhmm...the school electrician should have a saw..."

"Is he not here today...?"

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed extremely awkward in the silence.

"It seems..." Ye Chen scratched his head.

"I can only walk back." Wan Qing sighed.

"Take the bus."

"Do you think there will be any buses today? And it's already... past seven o'clock, so I don't think it's possible to take a taxi."

"So far...go back?"

"Let's go."

Wan Qing propped up her umbrella and let the cold raindrops fall on the umbrella.

The road in the distance is covered with a layer of rain and fog, making it hard to see clearly.

The street lamps gave off a dim yellow light, hazy and blurred in the rain.
