Chapter 1608 Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si, Class 1, Grade 1
"That girl just now should be Hu Qiumin."
Zhou Chen closed the door and recalled that the girl who had just gone up the stairs in front of him and opened the door of 301 was most likely Hu Qiumin from the protagonist group in the play. She was also a member of the trio at the beginning and was related to Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si. most.
He also learned from Zhou Limin that Hu Qiumin's family lived across the street.
Hu Qiumin's situation in the drama flashed through his mind quickly, including his violent father, controlling mother, cold stepfather, and warm brother. After watching the TV series, his biggest impression of Hu Qiumin was that this little kid The girl is a brother-controller. She talks about how her brother is doing and how her brother is doing.
The final summary is that he is a poor person with an unhappy family, but he is also a loyal and worthy friend.
Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun have returned. Sun Xiuyun is cooking in the kitchen, while Zhou Limin is sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
The two people who heard the sound looked at the door at the same time.
"Xiaochen is back."
"Well, uncle, aunt, I'm going to go get familiar with the surroundings this afternoon."
Sun Xiuyun said with a smile: "You really need to get familiar with the environment, but you are not familiar with this place yet, or you should ask your uncle to take you out for a walk."
"No need. I've been to many places this afternoon and know a lot of roads. And I'm old enough that I can find a home and won't get lost."
Sun Xiuyun and Zhou Limin were very happy to hear that Zhou Chen called this place their home.
"Xiao Chen, go wash your hands and you can eat soon."
"good."
During the meal, Sun Xiuyun filled a large bowl of rice for Zhou Chen and kept picking up vegetables for Zhou Chen.
"The hukou should be issued soon, and then you can go to school. The schools here may be different from those in your hometown. The students here are all children who grew up in the oil field base. They..."
Sun Xiuyun was talking about things about school. In fact, she had never been exposed to these things before. She only asked her colleagues temporarily in the afternoon, and now she talked about them all.
Although these may be of no use to Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen still listened very seriously. He is a centuries-old monster, so he still has some emotional value.
Time flies, and a few days have passed. On this day, Zhou Limin went to the household registration department and finally got a new household registration book. The original household registration book for two people became three people. He was still the head of the household. When he saw the household registration book, Zhou Chen His name and his status as an adopted son were related to the head of the household. He happily drank two more drinks in the evening.
Sun Xiuyun also took the household registration book and was extremely happy. The two people became a family of three. This was a child, and the adopted son was also a son.
"Xiao Chen, your uncle and I have already arranged the school affairs. The dean of the No. 2 Middle School has said that as long as the household registration is transferred, you can transfer to the No. 2 Middle School. The school is on holiday tomorrow, and your uncle will take you to school the day after tomorrow. Report.”
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle, aunt, thank you for asking for help these days."
Zhou Limin said: "You kids, we are all a family, why are you talking about this? The most important thing for you now is to go to school well and get into college. Everything else is secondary."
"What your uncle said is that we are all one family. We don't know how the teaching in the middle school here in the oil field is different from the teaching in our hometown. But you don't have to worry. Even if you can't learn well, we will find a way in the future. Let you work in the oil field and don’t have to worry about the future.”
Although it is now 1997 and the shift system has gradually disappeared, it has not completely disappeared. As long as there is a relationship, it can still be operated.
Moreover, Sun Xiuyun's thoughts are somewhat different from Zhou Limin's. She actually doesn't expect Zhou Chen to be admitted to college or anything like that. She hopes that Zhou Chen can stay in the oil field and stay with them, so that they can take care of Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen really gets admitted to college and becomes capable, she is really afraid that Zhou Chen will not come back after he goes out.
Even though she has only been here for less than a week, Sun Xiuyun feels that she is really different from the past these days. She used to feel nothing when going to and from get off work. Anyway, when she comes home, she is just two people, sometimes alone. It is not lively at all, nothing. Hope.
But it's different these days. Even when I'm at work, I'm always thinking about home, thinking about going back from get off work early to cook and wash clothes for my children.
Although there is only one more person in the house, it really feels a lot more lively and there is hope for life. At the end of the day, she is still full of energy. Even her colleagues in the work have noticed the changes in her and said that her face has changed over the past few days. There are more smiles.
Listening to what Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun said, Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. They both did it for his own good, but they just had different ideas.
For workers working in the oil field, weekends are not necessarily rest days. Most of the work in the oil production plant does not include weekends. It is basically a day off, with one day off for a few days, and sometimes it may be ten days off. I haven't had any rest for the past few days, which is normal.
Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun went to work, leaving Zhou Chen alone at home. To be honest, there was only a TV at home, but in this era, there were still relatively few TV programs, so he was too lazy to turn on the TV, so he took the books he bought two days ago. , looked up.
Zhou Chen said that he didn’t need to come back to cook at noon and could cook it himself, but Sun Xiuyun was still worried. He used the short break at noon to run back home to cook for Zhou Chen, but when he got home, , what I saw was the meal that Zhou Chen had prepared.
Sitting at the table and eating the food Zhou Chen cooked, Sun Xiuyun suddenly wanted to cry for some reason. It was the first time for her to feel cared for by her own children and eat the food cooked by her own children.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen was going to the bookstore to buy a few more books to read. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the door opposite was also opened, and a girl came out. It was Hu Qiumin.
Zhou Chen took the initiative to greet: "Hello."
Hu Qiumin was a little at a loss when she saw Zhou Chen, not knowing whether to greet her, but when she saw Zhou Chen greeted her, she responded quickly.
"Hello."
After a pause, he spoke again: "I heard from my mother that your name is Zhou Chen, right?"
"Yes, my name is Zhou Chen."
"My name is Hu Qiumin."
Hu Qiumin said her name openly, and then asked curiously: "I heard from my mother that you will go to our Linqi No. 2 Middle School in the future?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I have completed the procedures. If nothing goes wrong, I should report to Linqi No. 2 Middle School tomorrow."
"High school? Which grade?"
"First grade."
"That's the same grade as mine, but it's June, and summer vacation is coming soon. Why don't you transfer after the summer vacation?"
Hu Qiumin was very curious. In fact, there are students who transfer to Linqi Oilfield. Most of these people come here to follow their parents' work transfers, but like Zhou Chen, who transferred here with less than a month left in a semester, I really haven't heard of it.
"Some unexpected circumstances happened, so I had to transfer here at this time." Zhou Chen explained briefly.
"Oh."
Hu Qiumin didn't know what to say for a while. It was really unfamiliar.
Zhou Chen said, "I'm going to the bookstore to buy books, so I'll leave first."
"Oh, okay, by the way, I'm in Class 1, Grade 1, No. 2 Middle School, and we're neighbors. If you need any help when you go to school tomorrow, you can come to me."
Remembering her mother's instructions, Hu Qiumin took the initiative to show her kindness to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said gently, "Thank you, I will." After that, he went downstairs first.
Hu Qiumin stared at Zhou Chen's back as he went downstairs, and she didn't come back to her senses until he disappeared.
"Is he smiling at me? But he seems to be quite handsome."
When they first met, they only had a quick meeting, but just now, they talked face to face for several sentences, so she saw Zhou Chen's appearance clearly.
After closing the door, Hu Qiumin also came down quickly, jogging all the way to the flower garden where they often gathered. This is where Cheng Miaomiao's mother Jia Daiyu works, and it is also the base of several of their friends.
"Xiao Min."
When Hu Qiumin arrived, she saw Cheng Miaomiao sitting on the swing waving at her vigorously, while Li Si stood behind Cheng Miaomiao and pushed her hard on the swing.
Hu Qiumin walked over, and Cheng Miaomiao also stopped.
"Xiao Min, Li Si said that we should go to the county town to play together, how about it?"
"Not very good, it's hard to rest for a day, and I don't want to run so far. He wants to go to the county town, and he must want to go to the game room to play games."
Li Si immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hu Qiumin, how can you frame me, I want to take you to play together, how can it be to play games."
Hu Qiumin sat on the simplified carousel: "Anyway, I won't go. I have the energy to run so far, I might as well lie at home and listen to music and watch TV."
Cheng Miaomiao said: "Xiao Min doesn't go, and I don't want to go either. Xiao Min, did your brother send you another tape?"
"Yes, the album of the Four Heavenly Kings, it's still genuine." Hu Qiumin looked excited.
"Really?"
Now is the time when the Four Heavenly Kings are popular in the mainland. In this era, whenever celebrities are mentioned, the Four Heavenly Kings are definitely the most mentioned group.
Li Si curled his lips. Compared with the Four Heavenly Kings, he still prefers Hong Kong female stars, one is more beautiful than the other.
The three friends were chatting happily. Suddenly, Hu Qiumin remembered Zhou Chen, whom he had just bumped into, so he talked to Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si.
"A handsome guy came to Uncle Zhou's house opposite our house. I heard that he will transfer to our No. 2 Middle School. He is in the same class as us and is in the first year of high school."
Li Si looked surprised: "This semester is about to end, and he transferred here at this time?"
Cheng Miaomiao asked curiously: "A handsome guy? How handsome?"
Hu Qiumin thought for a while and said: "He is half a head taller than Li Si. In short, I think he is very handsome, but a little darker. I heard from my mother that he seems to be from a rural area."
"Hu Qiumin, what do you mean by half a head taller than me? Are you saying I am short?" Li Si was dissatisfied.
"Then do you think you are tall?"
Hu Qiumin walked to Li Si and stood up. The two of them were almost the same height.
"He is half a head taller than me, isn't he half a head taller than you?"
Li Si's face flushed: "I am only seventeen years old, and I will grow taller in the future. Some people grow first, but I grow later. It's not considered tall to be tall first. I will definitely be much taller in two years."
No teenager doesn't care about his height, especially if he is not as tall as a girl, which is even more unacceptable.
Cheng Miaomiao patted Li Si's shoulder: "Okay, we believe you, Li Si, you will definitely grow again. Others grow to 18 years old, and you will at least grow to 28 years old, okay."
"Cheng Miaomiao!" Li Si glared at Cheng Miaomiao in exasperation.
The three of them played around for a while, and then Li Si took Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin to his own restaurant Xiaoshudu to eat.
The next day, Zhou Chen and Zhou Limin took their things to Lin No. 72 Middle School, explained the situation, and went directly to the school to find the dean of teaching, Xiao Fang.
"Dean Xiao, hello, my name is Zhou Limin, and this is my child Zhou Chen."
Zhou Limin pulled Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen immediately said to Xiao Fang who was sitting in front of him: "Dean Xiao, my name is Zhou Chen."
Xiao Fang looked at Zhou Chen, who was tall and strong, full of energy, and nodded with satisfaction. Although the school is mainly for learning, politeness and good looks are also easy to make people like.
"Zhou Chen, right? I heard from Manager Niu that if the procedures are complete, there is no problem with transferring, but this semester is about to end. Can you keep up with your studies?"
"I also studied at home by myself, and I can keep up."
As a freshman in high school, and in Oil City, the textbooks are naturally the same. Zhou Chen read them all a few days ago. For him, it is really child's play.
"Very good, it's good to be confident."
Xiao Fang was quite satisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude. He didn't look like a student from the countryside. He was open and confident, and easy to communicate with, which made her feel relieved.
"Zhou Chen's parents, you can rest assured that your child is in my hands."
With Xiao Fang's guarantee, Zhou Limin completed the formalities, gave Zhou Chen a few words, and then left the school. Xiao Fang took Zhou Chen to the teacher's office of the first grade group.
"Teacher Zhang, this is a student who just transferred here. I decided to put him in your class." Xiao Fang pointed at Zhou Chen and said.
Teacher Zhang is a male teacher in his fifties. When he saw Zhou Chen, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"No problem, Director Xiao."
"Zhou Chen, Teacher Zhang is an old teacher in our school, and the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 1."
Zhou Chen immediately greeted: "Teacher Zhang, hello, my name is Zhou Chen, I came from......"
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiao Fang spoke again: "Teacher Zhang, I will leave Zhou Chen to you. Although there is less than a month left in this semester, we still need to let this child integrate into the class as soon as possible."
Zhang Shaowen nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me."
He will retire at the end of this semester, but before retirement, he will still do his best to educate and guide students as a head teacher.
After Xiao Fang left, Zhang Shaowen asked Zhou Chen some questions. He found that Zhou Chen did not seem to be afraid of him. He was neither humble nor arrogant, not like a student who had just transferred to the school, but he did not think much about it. During the break, he took Zhou Chen to Class 1, Grade 1.
Zhang Shaowen stood at the door of the classroom, and the noisy Class 1, Grade 1, suddenly became quiet. The students outside also quickly returned to the class and returned to their seats.
After everyone was gathered, Zhang Shaowen took Zhou Chen into the classroom.
"Today I will introduce a new transfer student to everyone."
In fact, when Zhou Chen followed Zhang Shaowen into the classroom, all the classmates saw him. When they heard Zhang Shaowen introduce him as a new transfer student, everyone looked at Zhou Chen with curiosity.
Hu Qiumin was also very surprised to see Zhou Chen. She knew that Zhou Chen was going to transfer to No. 2 Middle School, but she didn't expect that he would transfer to their class by such a coincidence.
She leaned back and turned to Cheng Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, he is the Zhou Chen I told you about, who just came across from our house."
Cheng Miaomiao stared at Zhou Chen without blinking, and suddenly said, "Xiaomin, you are right, this guy is indeed handsome, and his temperament is very similar to Li Ming, but he doesn't look like a transfer from the countryside."
"That's what my mother said, I don't know."
While the two of them were whispering, Cheng Miaomiao's deskmate Wei Xue also whispered, "Do you know him?"
When Zhou Chen, who was standing next to the podium, heard Zhang Shaowen's words, he turned to the crowd and began to introduce himself in a steady tone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Chen."
