Back to the third grade

Chapter 2

In the evening, Zhou Yu called, "Lin Mei, you forgot to give me your composition paper."

I really forgot...

Lin Mei: "Then...you come to my house again?" She really didn't remember where Zhou Hao's house was, it seemed to be some kind of aviation family courtyard.

"No, you tell me the title of the book, my father said to help me find it." Zhou Que said.

Zhou Jie's father has always belonged to the zodiac sign of omnipotence.

"Wait." Lin Mei put down the phone and ran back to the room.

What she said about writing essays is not a lie. She remembers that she participated in a book fair held by Xinhua Bookstore before, which should have been during the New Year last year.

Because the book was bought with her lucky money.

I bought books to prove to my mother that "you see, I also remember to study all the time", but after I bought them, they were placed brand new in her bookcase, until I was in high school or university to organize the bookcases and sell scraps, and my mother gave them to neighbors little child.

It is not a lie that there are many examples.Because when Lin Mei was choosing a book, she wanted to choose a book with many examples, so that she could study hard.

She ran back with the book she had dug out, and said to the phone: "One is called Eight Hundred Cases of Advanced Model Compositions, and the other is called Hundred Selections of Young People's Compositions, both published by Jiangsu Books."

There are so many books of this kind every year, and the possibility of colliding with Zhou Jie's own is very small. Sure enough, Zhou Jie said, "I'll make a note. I don't have any of these two books."

Your dad is so cruel.

Lin Mei wanted to say this very much.Zhou's father is definitely the kind of person who expects his daughter to become a phoenix, and he has strict requirements on Zhou Jie since he was a child.I don't know how many tutorial books there are in Zhou's exhausted bookcase.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mei continued to struggle with copying words until [-]:[-].The moment she finished copying the last word, she was surrounded by a sense of accomplishment and happiness!
Lin Mei happily ran to the living room, opened a can of Coke and drank it.

"Finished?" Mother Lin said.

"I finished writing English." Lin Mei said.English is the easiest, and the exercise book can probably be finished quickly. I will finish my English first tonight, and I will write the two summer homework tomorrow, and then the composition. I don’t need to think about it.The most difficult thing is the two workbooks of Chinese and mathematics. I don't know if I can ask Zhou Yan to borrow them...

Lin Mei drank a can of Coke and went back to continue fighting.

Mother Lin came over at eleven o'clock: "Have you finished writing yet?"

Come in again at 11:30, distressed: "Still writing?"

Come in at twelve o'clock: "Stop writing, I'll write tomorrow." As he said that, he wanted to help Lin Mei close the book.

"It will be finished soon, there are still five pages." Lin Mei quickly pressed the book.

"Don't worry if you can't finish writing. At worst, mom will ask for leave for you. You can finish it at home before going to class." Mother Lin said.

Lin Mei's face was full of bullshit. She never knew that her mother spoiled her so much when she was so young.It's definitely a miracle that she didn't grow crooked when she grew up.

"Go to bed, good boy." Mother Lin pushed her.

"I'll go to sleep after I finish writing." Lin Mei sent Mama Lin back to the house, "Mom, go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow. By the way, you don't need to buy breakfast for me, I just get up and make something for myself." .”

Her breakfast today must have been bought by Lin's mother when she got up early and went to the breakfast stall. How tired she is.

"My daughter will feel sorry for others." Mother Lin smiled, "It's okay, I will eat if you don't eat it, and I like to eat those things too."

Mother doesn't like to eat. Lin Mei remembers that her mother used to like to drink porridge and eat steamed buns and side dishes in the morning, because she likes to eat outside things, so she bought them for her.

Lin Mei's little heart twitched, feeling that she was really unfilial before.

After she finished writing, she cleaned up the things on the table, took the garbage from the kitchen and toilet to the door, and re-checked the anti-theft door and windows before going back to sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found that the breakfast was richer!
Let me explain, the breakfast stand in front of Lin’s house only has deep-fried dough sticks and pancakes, and soy milk is sold by a man on a bicycle with two large buckets every morning.There is a breakfast shop with more varieties about two stops away from here, which occupies a small alley and sells breakfast.

That store has a bowl of steamed bean curd, beef spicy soup, and fried buns.

Now these three things are on the table, plus tea eggs.

Mom must have thought that she had worked hard, so she bought it specially to comfort her.

Lin Mei felt guilty even after eating breakfast.

After eating, I wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. By the way, I collect the dirty clothes and throw them into the washing machine, and turn on the water.Then continue to do homework cheerfully, come over to add washing powder when the time comes, and then go back to do homework, come back and put the clothes in the drying bucket when the time comes, and continue to do homework when it's over.

When Lin's mother came home and went downstairs, she saw that the balcony of their house was covered with freshly washed clothes.

"What do you think you are doing?" Mother Lin said angrily.

I washed my clothes once and was scolded all afternoon.

"Just study hard. Did you do this? Did you wash it clean?" Mother Lin checked the washed clothes on the balcony and found that the collars and cuffs were clean. Lin Mei flattered her: "I use soap Rub it."

Mother Lin stared with tiger eyes, and Lin Mei shrank her neck.

"From now on, you are not allowed to do any random work at home. Those are electrical appliances. Have you ever used them? What should you do if they run out of electricity?" Mother Lin continued to educate her children, while giving her deep-fried ribs.

Today's lunch menu is fried pork ribs, fried spring rolls, fried shrimp chips, and a big pot of hot and sour vermicelli soup.It's all Lin Mei's favorite food.

"Am I that stupid?" Lin Mei held the bowl, "How old am I? You have to cook for me every day when you come back, and I just do the laundry." She thought for a while and said, "Why don't I buy vegetables in the future? Right? It saves you a trip to the vegetable market when you come back."

"The vegetable market is at the intersection, so I bought it on the way back." Mother Lin said, "I know you want to help me, but you just need to take care of yourself first. I won't be tired of this work."

In fact, Lin Mei also planned to wash the sheets, pillowcases and towels in the two houses in the afternoon.Since she lived alone, she has a strong interest in cleaning. Every time she sees a house that needs to be tidied up, she feels excited that "it can be tidied up for a long time!".If Ms. Lin didn't say anything, she still wanted to take down the curtains at home and wash them.

In the evening, Lin Mei started to write a composition.A total of eleven articles, explanatory essays, argumentative essays, narrative essays...

Lin Mei began to look through the written documents to find examples.If there were no example essays, she would not be able to tell how to write these essays.In the narrative essay model, a person wrote about his experience of traveling with his father.

Lin Mei closed the book, remembering that the company organized a trip to Jiuzhaigou before, very good, I know how to write it.

Explanatory text, this explanation is to explain the truth and cause of a thing.In the sample article, there is an article about locks, a small lock with a key to open it. It can help people close boxes and cabinets, and it can also be locked on a small diary.

The author diverges from a lock to an ideal of life, which is of far-reaching significance.

Lin Mei wanted to say that this theme was too profound.

She thought for a while and decided to write about television.Television represents the life of ordinary people, from black and white to color, everyone's life is better.

The most important thing is that it has an instruction manual, at least the first [-] words don't have to think about it.

Now that she writes about TV, she will write about refrigerators in the second explanatory article, and refrigerators also represent the progress of ordinary people's lives. If there is a third article, she will write about cattail fans, electric fans, and air conditioners, which can also be divergent with profound meaning.It is a pity that only two expositions are required.Lin Mei wrote down this idea and decided to write an explanatory text when she decided to write it.

After solving two problems in one breath, Lin Mei ran to look through the manuals of the TV and refrigerator.

Mother Lin watched her flip through the drawer: "What are you looking for?"

"The manual of our TV." Lin Mei buried her head in the drawer.

"Which one are you looking for?"

"write an essay."

Mother Lin: "..."

Lin Mei left with two manuals and a warranty card. Mother Lin said, "Don't lose the invoice."

Lin Mei used the grid paper and divided it into sections, and solved four articles in one night.With victory in sight, Lin Mei thought confidently, continue tomorrow!

The next day, Lin Mei still washed the sheets and pillowcases, and they were all gray!She couldn't stand it.After Lin's mother came back, she pretended to be stupid and buried herself in her homework, with an attitude of "I'm busy so don't disturb me".

With only two and a half days left, she was down to two exercise books.In the past two days, she has answered two more phone calls, both from classmates. She took advantage of these two days to try to remember, but there were not many people who remembered, so she could only answer the phone hahaha sloppy, and then took the opportunity to ask the exercise book to write Is it gone?

The caller also came to ask her if she had written the exercise book and homework.

……

A sudden sense of confidant!

But the homework was still not finished, so Lin Mei had no choice but to turn over the book and start with mathematics. At any rate, this is not too difficult.Either it is a paragraph, fill in the empty sentences and words.

They must all be passages from the memorized texts.

But how could she remember?
She only filled in the poems and those of some more famous authors, such as Lu Xun's anthology at home.By the evening of the 26th, the numbers had been written, and it was relatively simple to have the formulas up.However, the writing in Chinese is half-and-half. Turning the page, there is something that can’t be written on every page. Those parts of speech and analysis of sentence components are all empty. Sentence components can be figured out.

Mother Lin came over and asked, "Why don't you take a leave of absence and write for another day?"

Mom you are so kind. QQ
Lin Mei: "No, I'll go to school and borrow someone else's."

The next day, Lin's mother gave Lin Mei 50 yuan, "Just buy what you need."

Lin Mei put the money in the pencil case, checked her homework one last time, and went out with the keys.Mother Lin stood by the door to watch her check, and said, "You have become more disciplined recently."

Lin Mei: "Hehe." Asked Lin's mother, "Do you need me to buy something? Is there anything missing at home?"

Mother Lin knew that the child was really sensible recently and would help the family. She thought for a while and said, "The sewer pump is broken. You can bring one back. You can buy it at the hardware store. It's fine if it costs more than ten yuan. Up to eight dollars."

The price of this thing has been about the same for so many years.Lin Mei remembered that it was fifteen when she bought it, so it didn't seem to be that expensive.It is not the same as the rise of sorbet.

The middle school attached to the textile factory is the school for the children of the factory.Coming out of the family courtyard, Lin Mei met many people carrying their schoolbags to school. Next to the attached middle school is the attached primary school. When they crossed the road, [-]% of them were children from their courtyard, as young as six or seven years old. , as big as a junior high school student like her.

Lin Mei remembered only a limited number of people, not to mention that people who are not in the same class don't usually speak, even if they all live in the same courtyard, there are still many people they don't know.

After entering the attached middle school gate, there will be more people saying hello.A girl with two braids and twisted braids into a ring like Wan Jun who was replayed on TV recently came over and took her hand affectionately, "Okay, Lin Mei, don't call me for a whole summer vacation. "

Lin Mei found that her memory was really failing, and said, "Have you finished your exercise book?"

The girl was startled, and asked in a low voice, "Is this teacher not going to accept me?"

Well, this is also one who didn't write.

After walking for a while, Lin Mei heard someone calling this girl Zhu Hai. By the way, her name is actually Zhu Haidi.Later it was changed to Zhu Hai.Lin Mei carefully recalled these few days, and found that most of her classmates disappeared in the crowd after leaving school. They never saw each other again, and rarely heard from each other.

So she didn't have much impression of Zhou Jie and Zhu Hai.

Seeing you again now is like getting to know an old friend again.

The attached middle school started to expand its enrollment last year, recruiting children from outsiders, but they have to charge a sponsorship fee of 3000 yuan to study.This is a very criticized move by the small factory manager. It is said that he has accumulated money and accepted bribes, and some people say that he has seen someone bring money to his house.

But these can be put aside for now. What Lin Mei remembers is that in the third year of junior high, every classroom was equipped with radiators, and a boiler room was built behind the school. This was also scolded back then. , of course because of insecurity.

But the winter that year was very warm, and my feet didn't get cold at all when I sat in the classroom.

When they walked to the second floor, a boy who was obviously taller than boys of the same age met them and said, "We have moved the classroom, and we are going to move the desks on the first floor. You go to the third floor. The sign of Class Three of Three Years is our class. Put down your things and go to the playground behind to move tables and chairs."

This person is either the class monitor, the study committee member, or the sports committee member.

Lin Mei guessed.

Zhu Hai led her up to the third floor. The building where their class was in was an old building with only the third floor.Each grade has one floor, the office is at the end of the corridor, and the principal's office is on the third floor.

The site for the new building has been selected, just beyond the playground.

There are five classes in the first grade.Class three is in the middle.

When Lin Mei and Zhu Hai entered the classroom, the classroom still smelled of paint.The walls have been repainted, it seems that it was painted before the start of school, and a new blackboard was replaced.

There are only a few chairs in the classroom, and everyone's schoolbags are piled up on the brand new podium and windowsill.Half of the tables and chairs have been moved back, and someone is cleaning them with rags.

Lin Mei said, "I forgot to bring a rag..." I remembered to clean up, but forgot to bring a rag.

Zhu Hai: "I brought it, and I'll tear a piece for you later."

The two put down their schoolbags and went downstairs to move the tables and chairs.On the stairs on the second floor, Lin Mei met Zhou Jin, and said, "Your homework is in my bag, you can go and get it. When you're done, go downstairs to the playground to get new tables and chairs."

Zhou Yu said, "Then I'll go with you." She said to another girl who was completely unfamiliar with Lin Mei, "Lu Lu, help me get it."

The three girls ran to the playground. Passing by, they saw some boys carrying two tables together. Two tables were stacked on top of each other, and three or four chairs were placed on top of them.

This is different from the man in the company who complains about changing the water.

It's been a long time since I saw such a "masculine" performance, and Lin Mei couldn't help but look at them admiringly.Further down, you can see that most of the boys will move more chairs, and some boys are obviously not the first time, just carrying a few stacked chairs and running to the teaching building.

The male teacher standing on the playground responsible for distributing desks and chairs saw the three girls and said, "You can just move the tables, and let the boys move the chairs."

The three of Lin Mei hugged the table and walked slowly towards the teaching building, and when they got tired they had to put it down and have a rest.The new desks and chairs are very beautiful, with gray steel pipes and light yellow wooden boards.Next to it are two small steel hooks for hanging schoolbags.

Lin Mei remembers that when she went to high school, she found that the desks and chairs used in high school were not as good as those used in junior high school.Although the small factory manager is scolded by many people, he is indeed the kind of leader who does practical things.At least Lin Mei remembers his benefits.

With the table moved, the distance from the playground to the classroom on the third floor seemed extremely long.Lin Mei found that her strength seemed to have weakened. In the past, it was only a matter of one breath to carry [-] kilograms of rice from the station to home.

45kg is so beautiful, a little less strength is acceptable.

After finally climbing to the classroom on the third floor, the class was in a mess. The big boy I met on the second floor just now was leading people to arrange all the tables with a serious face. Seeing that Lin Mei and the other three came in with the table on their shoulders, they called out to the boy: "Go and pick it up."

Immediately two boys came over.

Only then did Lin Mei realize that the table they brought up might not be theirs, and who knew who would sit on it after it was set up.

The three girls handed over the table reluctantly, and Zhu Hai shook his arms and said, "I finally brought it up..."

Another class came to ask: "Do you have many chairs in your class?"

The boy immediately said: "No, we don't have enough here." After the people left, I heard him say to a boy, "Put the chairs in the classroom, and don't leave the door for people to move away." The boy quickly took the order and left. Go, move all the chairs into the classroom.

Lin Mei: "..." How can this kind of intrigue be so cute?
