Chapter 241 Classmate, Is This Seat Occupied?
"Is it cold in winter in Qinghe County? I have never experienced it."
"It's not cold. It's about ten degrees. It's much more comfortable than in Shanghai. It's just that it goes up and down, which makes people confused."
"What about the scarf?"
"I put it at home for the time being. My mother praised it for looking good."
On the road to the small town, Zhou Rui was talking on the phone while walking.
On the other side of the phone was Han Ziyin's cold voice.
"What about you? What do you do before the Spring Festival?"
Han Ziyin: "Read a book and prepare for the Spring Festival."
The New Year's flavor in Shanghai is not that strong, but in the past, the Han family's celebrations were quite ritualistic.
All thanks to Han Ziyin’s mother.
At that time, Han Ziyin's mother would prepare everything for the New Year very early in advance, but people like Han Rongze who only rested on the 29th night of the year couldn't count on it.
This year, Han Ziyin doesn't want to make the Spring Festival "a chore" because of her mother's death, and is trying to find ways to recreate the situation back then.
Prepare small gifts for the elders, replenish the New Year's goods at home, do a general cleaning, send the sofa covers for dry cleaning, put up Spring Festival couplets on the windows, and it is said that I also want to pickle and fry some food.
Zhou Rui said: "I'm not familiar with cooking. If you encounter problems, you can ask Li Wenqian's mother. She has studied cooking."
"Okay, I have my aunt's contact information."
Zhou Rui was walking when he suddenly saw a familiar canteen on the side of the road. On the stall in front of the store were piles of fruit peels like a hill.
Looking to the side intersection, he saw that it was there that he met Han Ziyin for the first time and changed her fate with a single brick.
I wanted to talk to Han Ziyin, but this was probably not a pleasant memory.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui looked at the canteen owner: "Boss, grab some fruit peel for me."
The boss looked up at Zhou Rui and felt that he looked familiar, but since he was the owner of a shop, he had many familiar customers, so he didn't pay much attention.
After Zhou Rui left with the fruit peel, the boss recalled a few fragments from his huge memory.
"Is that young man just raising donkeys? Oh no, why do I have memories of donkeys? Are there donkeys in Qinghe County?"
After walking for a few more minutes, at an intersection, Li Wenqian, Tong Xin, and Song Bin were already waiting.
This was the third day after returning to Qinghe. The four of them made an appointment to go back to school to see the teacher.
"Let's go, Teacher Huang said he's waiting for us at school."
After walking to the school gate, I saw two people chatting from a distance. When I got closer, I saw that it was Guo Sheng and Huang Dewei.
Huang Dewei smiled with his back teeth when he saw Zhou Rui and the others: "Zhou Rui! What a coincidence! We rushed together and Guo Sheng is here too."
Guo Sheng hadn't seen his classmate for a long time, and he was very happy. He didn't know what he had gone through in the past six months, and he felt like he had turned three shades darker.
Zhou Rui asked curiously: "Why are you so hacked?"
Guo Sheng touched the back of his neck and said, "I studied agriculture and I got a lot of tan."
He went to college in Guizhou Province. When he first came back, his sister at home didn't even recognize him.
Several people gathered together, and Huang Dewei said: "Let's go in and talk."
When he walked into the school gate, Zhou Rui couldn't walk and looked at the "Teaching Achievements Display" column next to the gate.
Although I had heard Yao Peili say it before, when I actually saw it, I still felt my blood pressure rise suddenly.
What the hell is this!
In the most conspicuous place, three photos are arranged one after another.
On the far left is a photo of me holding a clothes drying pole and jumping from the second floor.
In the middle is a photo of himself riding a donkey through the streets.
On the right is a photo of me roaring ferociously during a mobilization rally.
I only have a few ugly photos, all of them selected?
Are you going to carry the Golden Cudgel and go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures? By the way, sing another song for Buddha?
Zhou Rui squinted his eyes: "Who chose this photo of Teacher Huang? Are there any other photos?"
Huang Dewei smiled and said: "The principal selected it himself."
The principal is my number one naughty guy!
Huang Dewei walked inside. He now has his own office. Although it is small, it is a qualitative leap.
Having former students come back to see themselves has many different meanings for teachers. It is not only a nostalgia for the past, but also an affirmation of their teaching work.
In the past, when facing Zhou Rui and the others, the relationship was purely between students and teachers, but now it is between old friends and juniors.
After pouring water for several children in disposable paper cups, Huang Dewei said: "How are you doing in Shanghai? Are you still getting used to it?"
Zhou Ruidao: "Very good."
Guo Sheng asked curiously: "I remember that Zhang Xin also went to school in Shanghai, right? Is he back?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally Zhou Rui explained: "He is on a work-study program during the winter vacation and will not be back this year."
"I started working as a part-time student during the first Spring Festival. This guy is really hardworking."
I learned from Huang Dewei that after Zhou Rui won the national college entrance examination, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School was given a shot in the arm.
The budget has increased a lot, the number of students has increased a lot, and various social sponsorships have emerged. The principal has recruited several outstanding teachers from the city and is preparing to build Qinghe No. 1 Middle School into a "key high school."
In the past, Qinghe people called "Qinghe No. 1 Middle School" a key high school, which was just a relatively good school in Qinghe County. Now it is preparing to receive formal evaluation from the Municipal Education Bureau.
Huang Dewei said: "Now that the first and second grade of high school are on vacation, there are still a few days until the third year of high school. Zhou Rui, the exchange meeting I discussed with you is scheduled for the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll cheer up the juniors."
By the way, I'll add a BUFF.
————————
In the classroom with a bit of turbid air, Lv Xubo raised his head and listened carefully.
The boys and girls in the class used to be his juniors, but now they are classmates again.
As a repeater and someone who once had a "bad reputation" in school, he has almost no friends.
This is exactly what he wants, so he can devote all his attention to studying. In the past six months, he has been extremely hardworking, wanting to make up for what he had missed before, going to bed late and getting up early, and never leaving his books.
He has completed the third year of high school for the second time, and the progress is more than halfway. His last monthly exam score has entered 400 points. The teacher expects that he will have no problem getting a bachelor's degree in half a year, but Lv Xubo still wants better.
That way, he can live up to the oath he made and the promise he made to his brothers.
Due to the improvement of his grades, he got rid of the situation of being left alone by the teacher in the last row of the classroom. He is currently sitting in the middle and on the side, and therefore has a female deskmate.
The little girl next to him was a little absent-minded during class, and she would occasionally sneak a glance at the serious Lu Xubo. Compared with other boys in the class, Lu Xubo was much more mature and good-looking. Although other students were afraid of him, this classmate felt that Lu Xubo was a very hard-working and mature boy.
However, even if Lu Xubo noticed these things, he would ignore them.
His ambition was not here.
When the lunch break bell rang, Lu Xubo took his English dictionary and walked quickly towards the cafeteria. He wanted to finish eating quickly so that he could come back to do the questions. Even when he was waiting in line for food, he couldn't help but open the dictionary to memorize words.
Holding the plate and finding a seat on the edge, Lu Xubo ate while memorizing words.
The empty seat next to him was ignored
He no longer had any friends in this school, and strictly speaking, no classmates.
Suddenly, a plate appeared in his sight.
"Classmate, is there anyone in this position?"
Lu Xubo looked up and was stunned.
Zhou Rui looked at him with a smile.
Behind them, Song Bin, Guo Sheng, Li Wenqian and Tong Xin, each holding a plate, also had smiles on their faces.
