Chapter 1645: Famous Scene, New Year, New Semester
Early in the morning, Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si knocked on the door of Zhou Chen's house.
"Are you two sick? You were here knocking and knocking early in the morning. Didn't you do your own thing? It's rare that you want to get under the quilt and sleep in, but you are all messing up."
Seeing these two people coming in despite the wind and frost, Zhou Chen was really speechless. Since Li Si came back, these two people just hang out with each other every day. They also come to him every day and spend the whole day eating at his house. , half of the rice at home was eaten by the two of them. Thieves can eat it, but it is still delicious.
Li Si put a hand on Zhou Chen's shoulder: "We are practicing your good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Why don't you appreciate it?"
"You can hold me back, I've never been late for school once, but you, how many times have you been late in one winter?"
"You can't blame me entirely. Sometimes I'm late waiting for Cheng Miaomiao."
"Li Si, shut up and don't blame me. I've only been late once or twice. The rest are your own problems, okay."
Cheng Miaomiao said angrily to Li Si, and then said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, there is a volleyball match in our factory today. We are here to invite you to watch the match together. Yaya and Yuan Shanqing are both there."
"Not going."
Zhou Chen flatly refused: "What's so interesting about a volleyball match? I'm not interested. I want to go to you guys."
"No, let's act as a group, you can't be left behind."
"It's better not to go. If you don't have time to go to the volleyball match, you might as well play cards at home."
"Hey, Zhou Chen is right. What's so exciting about a volleyball match? Miao Miao, let's stay at Zhou Chen's house and play cards. We'll invite Hu Hu to come too. The four of us will be just right."
"Li Si, didn't you say you wanted to accompany me to the volleyball match today? You also said that your parents would go today." Cheng Miaomiao glared at Li Si with dissatisfaction.
Li Si muttered: "It's just because they are all here, so I don't really want to go."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Li Si, I think you and Miaomiao should both go and have a look. After all, your parents are here. I was about to take a nap. I didn't go to bed until midnight after reading the novel last night." ”
He knew that there was something good to watch in this volleyball match, and the protagonist was Li Dahai, so he encouraged Li Si to watch, but he himself was not interested. Compared with the little melon on the volleyball court, he was more looking forward to the possibility of meeting him in the evening. The big melon appears.
For the sake of brotherhood, Yang Songbai fought against three women and was brutally tortured.
This should be considered one of the famous scenes in this drama.
But Li Si said: "If you don't want to go, I don't want to go either. Miaomiao, let's call Hu Qiumin over and play cards together."
Cheng Miaomiao waved her hands dissatisfied: "No, I've already agreed to go, I don't care, I'm going anyway, you can go or not, I'll call Huzi."
Then she ran directly to Hu Qiumin's house and knocked on the door. After a while, the two started chatting, and Hu Qiumin simply agreed to go with her.
"Then I'll go too."
Li Si shouted and rushed out of the door.
"Zhou Chen, let's go. You can sleep at home."
The three of them left with a smile. Zhou Chen walked over and closed the door opened by Li Si, then returned to his bed and continued to sleep.
When he woke up, it was already past 12 noon. He got up and simply made egg noodles. After eating, he put on his clothes, put on his shoulder bag that he had already prepared, and went out.
Zhou Chen came to the school's teachers' dormitory and gently knocked on Han Shu's dormitory door.
"Coming."
Han Shu opened the door and was very surprised to see it was Zhou Chen.
"Why did you come to school?"
Zhou Chen said: "I heard that you haven't returned to Shanghai yet, so I brought you some of our specialties. There aren't many."
"Come in and talk."
Han Shu welcomed Zhou Chen in and closed the door.
"I've already bought my ticket and I'm leaving tomorrow. I've already bought a lot of specialties and so on. You're a student and you're going to buy specialties for me? Where did you get the money?"
"You're looking down on people. This money was not given by my uncle and aunt. I earned it myself. Of course, don't ask how I earned it. This is my privacy."
Zhou Chen took out the things from the bag as he spoke. There were not many things, they were indeed some simple specialties. He was just afraid that Han Shu would not accept the expensive things.
Han Shu was relieved when she saw that the things Zhou Chen brought were indeed not valuables. As a teacher, she should not have accepted things from students. However, this student's status in her mind was not ordinary, but if it was valuable, She definitely won't accept it either.
"Thank you, Zhou Chen."
"No need to thank you. When I get admitted to a university in Shanghai, I will ask you to take me around Shanghai."
Han Shu said with a bright smile: "Remember, I have said it more than once, as long as you go to Shanghai, I will definitely take you around, and I will do what I say."
"That's good, Teacher Han, did you buy a train ticket?"
"Yes, it's my senior brother. Teacher Gao from your class queued up specially to buy me a ticket. It's really hard to buy tickets before the Spring Festival."
"Then you must be careful when you take the train back. The train is actually quite chaotic, and there are a lot of petty thefts. You have to be vigilant at all times..."
Han Shu listened patiently, but as she listened, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that she was the teacher and Zhou Chen was the student. But in this scene, why did it feel like the other way around?
However, although she realized something was wrong, she did not interrupt Zhou Chen.
"Finally, Teacher Han, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"
Han Shu smiled happily, very brightly.
"Then I also wish you a happy new year in advance."
…………
After dinner, Zhou Chen sat on the sofa with his uncle and aunt to watch TV. Suddenly, a fierce quarrel came from the opposite side.
Sun Xiuyun stopped knitting sweaters instantly.
"Old Yang and Hu Yue started again?"
"Don't mind your business."
Zhou Limin looked indifferent, because he had long been accustomed to it. He had been a door-to-door neighbor with Hu Yue's family for so many years. There were probably few people in the whole factory who knew Yang Songbai and Hu Yue better than them.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the two of them didn't quarrel when they were at home at the same time, there was definitely a problem. Sometimes they could quarrel several times a day, which was really exaggerated.
So now when they heard the noise from the opposite side, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, they were already calm.
"It's almost the New Year and they're still arguing. It's hard for Xiaomin. It's not easy for her to study so well in such an environment. It's not easy for their eldest son Yang Tao to be admitted to university."
Maybe it's because of the example of Yang Songbai and Hu Yue, so since Zhou Chen came, Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun have never quarreled, and even the number of quarrels is very few, just for fear of affecting Zhou Chen.
After listening for a while, Sun Xiuyun said again: "It's not right today, not so intense, not fierce?"
In the past, the quarrels across the street were hoarse and could last for a long time, but today's quarrel is a little bit wrong, not the same as before.
Just wondering, the quarrel suddenly became louder, but this time it was no longer just Yang Songbai and Hu Yue, there were other voices.
"Hey, someone is coming. It sounds like Cheng Pengfei and Jia Daiyu, and Niu Lingling. Old Zhou, should we go and take a look?"
Zhou Limin quickly stopped them: "No, we didn't stop them when they started arguing just now. It's not good to go over now. Just pretend you don't know. Xiaochen, what are you doing?"
Zhou Chen walked to the door, pressed against the door, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement on the other side. This made Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun look surprised, and then they laughed out loud.
Zhou Chen listened carefully to the quarrel on the other side. He had good hearing to begin with, and now he was pressed against the door. Except for not being able to see the live performance, he could basically hear the rest of the sounds and movements. It was simply a large-scale melon-eating scene.
Listening to the increasingly intense situation on the other side, Jia Daiyu and Niu Lingling stood up for Hu Yue and beat up Yang Songbai, Zhou Chen also found it very interesting.
Apart from anything else, Yang Songbai was indeed very considerate in terms of brotherhood. If it were an ordinary friend, he would really not make such a sacrifice.
This melon lasted for more than half an hour. At the beginning, it was a verbal attack. The three women denounced Yang Songbai together, but they got angry as they talked. In order to delay them, Yang Songbai made a huge sacrifice with his good brother Li Dahai to create an opportunity to meet his first love. He started to curse directly, and then he was caught and beaten.
Until the end, Li Dahai rushed over and prevented the end of this incident.
Although he did not show up and watch it with his own eyes, this melon was also quite enjoyable to eat. After it was over, Zhou Chen washed up and went to bed.
New Year's Eve was coming soon. Zhou Chen and his friends had already agreed to buy fireworks and firecrackers together and set them off together on the night of the 30th. So after eating the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, several people gathered together, each holding fireworks and small firecrackers in their arms, and came to an open space to start setting off fireworks.
The Spring Festival of this era did not ban fireworks and firecrackers like in the future. There were too many people setting off firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers almost never stopped.
Several people played until twelve o'clock and counted down to the New Year together.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one!"
"It's Chinese New Year."
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Zhou Chen went to Cheng Miaomiao's house with everyone to pay New Year's greetings, and also received a red envelope.
The Cheng family was very lively this year. There were four of them, plus grandparents and uncle, Xiao Fang who came to celebrate the New Year with Jia Baoshan, and sisters Yuan Shanqing and Yuan Shanzi, a total of ten people, which was really lively.
After the Spring Festival, there was still one thing that was still at the "hot search" level, and was paid attention to by countless people.
That was Yuan Yong's matter.
Since Yuan Yong was arrested, the turmoil has not stopped, but has intensified. Many people want to ask Yuan Yong for money, but they can't see Yuan Yong at all. Now those who can see Yuan Yong are all people from law enforcement agencies.
It is impossible to get the money cheated from Yuan Yong back, which makes many desperate families not even have a good Spring Festival.
Even before the Spring Festival, someone came to find Yuan Shanqing again, causing quite a stir, but Cheng Yaya and others protected Yuan Shanqing, which prevented serious incidents from happening.
Yuan Yong has been waiting for investigation and trial because of the huge amount of money involved in the case.
Although Yuan Yong is a wanted criminal and is particularly cruel, he has to stay in a place like a detention center. After many interrogations and investigations by the criminal police team, it was finally discovered that Yuan Yong was not only guilty of fraud, wounding and escaping, but also committed multiple thefts and wounding during his escape, and the most serious one even resulted in a death.
This made the matter even more serious. In this era, murder cases are major cases, so Yuan Yong cannot be sentenced yet. More investigation and interrogation are needed, but it is certain that Yuan Yong will not be able to get out of prison in this life.
When Yuan Shanqing learned of this result, she cried and laughed. She cried because Yuan Yong was her biological father after all, and he was arrested in front of her, which made her sad. She laughed because she finally got rid of Yuan Yong and understood the meaning of Zhou Chen's words that night.
It is estimated that Yuan Yong's trial and investigation will take several months to end. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer discussions about Yuan Yong in the base. Those families who were cheated of their money can only swallow their anger even if they are unwilling. Life must go on after all. It is impossible for them to jump into the river and commit suicide like Luo Zheng's grandmother.
Speaking of Luo Zheng, Zhou Chen also felt it was absurd. His grandmother committed suicide because of Yuan Yong's matter. Although it was not Yuan Shanqing's fault, Yuan Shanqing was Yuan Yong's daughter after all. Luo Zheng's attitude towards Yuan Shanqing was real at the beginning.
But in just half a year, Luo Zheng didn't blame Yuan Shanqing at all. Instead, he had a very good relationship with Yuan Shanqing and even paid too much attention to her. This really made Zhou Chen feel puzzled.
Sure enough, reality is as illogical as in TV dramas, and even the feelings and emotions of people in reality are more puzzled.
The winter vacation is not long, but not short, but the happy days are short.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of school again. On the first day of school, Li Si, Cheng Miaomiao, including Hu Qiumin, were all sleepy and followed Zhou Chen to report to school together.
Obviously, less than a month of vacation, they haven't played enough, at least they haven't slept enough.
The new semester is the second semester of the second year of high school. From this semester, the academic work has become more arduous. After all, there are only three semesters left before the college entrance examination. Although the school does not stare at the second-year students as much as the third-year graduates, it also pays more attention to them.
The obvious change is that the number of physical education classes has changed from three classes every Wednesday to two classes every week. In the third year of high school, there is only one physical education class every week.
The difficulty of the college entrance examination in Shandong Province is also among the highest in the country. Although the schools in the Linqi Oilfield Base are relatively relaxed, it is only relatively speaking. At least the teachers and deans of various subjects are paying more and more attention to students' learning and grades.
Since the beginning of this semester, Zhou Chen has also clearly found that more and more students in the class come to him to ask questions, and the students themselves feel the pressure.
