Chapter 17: Undeserved Troubles
After school in the afternoon, Zhou Li followed Li Nan with his head slightly lowered and went straight to the school gate.
The school gate only opened a small door, two middle-aged security guards guarded one left and one right, because of the school's policy reasons, the color of the school sign of the third year of high school is different from that of the first and second years of high school, which is easy to identify. If there are too many people, there may be a slight possibility of mixing up, but now there are still two or three minutes before the bell rings, and the school gate is empty.
Zhou Li hasn't been out of school since he was in his third year of high school, and he hasn't even tried, but this time, under the leadership of Brother Nan, he went out very easily.
A security guard advised: "The college entrance examination will be in a few days, don't eat when you go out!"
Brother Nan didn't reply, just raised his hand and waved it back.
"How did you do that?" Zhou Li wondered.
"It's very simple!" Brother Nan stopped and waited for the traffic light, "When they stopped me at the beginning, I came here every day, once at noon and once in the afternoon, and they stopped me every time. Then half an hour later, I walked in from outside in front of them, and when they found that no one cared about the newspaper, I brought them a pack of cigarettes, and I had a relationship with them, and then I brought them something to eat and drink from time to time. β
"That's right. Zhou Li seemed to be imagining the picture of Brother Nan walking in from outside and greeting the security guard in a grand manner.
"Don't learn from me!"
"Of course not. β
Zhou Li knew that he couldn't compare to Brother Nan. There are many reasons why Brother Nan is so unscrupulous.
On the one hand, Brother Nan rarely makes big mistakes, they are all insignificant mistakes, and she is not a person who does not learn at all, she has to learn, and most of the time she can do well in the exam.
But she didn't make a big mistake?
She had a lot of fights in school in her freshman year of high school, and when she matured in her sophomore year, she went to fight outside of school, and she completely relented in her third year of high school.
Brother Nan's fight is fighting, it doesn't involve bullying and bullying, it's mostly a quarrel with each other or a bad look, both sides are at fault, some people fight and play together again in a few days, to put it bluntly, it's just immature. In this case, the school's attention is average, and the class teacher deals with it.
Fights outside of school are much more serious.
However, Brother Nan's noodle shop is very close to the school, and almost all of the school teachers, whether they have taught Brother Nan or not, have gone to Li Ji Noodle Restaurant to eat noodles. Every time Brother Nan sees it, he adds a full amount of meat and gives him an omelette, although it is not valuable, even if some teachers have only eaten one meal, they have a very good impression of this girl.
Take people softly, eat people with short mouths.
If your hands are not soft and your mouth is not short, then the teacher will kindly remind you that the principal is her uncle.
And don't look at Brother Nan like this, she is already the best of her generation, and the rest are all bastards. Among them was her cousin, who was her uncle's son, who was expelled from school by her uncle.
The burden of the new generation of the old Li family going to university can be all on her shoulders.
And if a teacher feels embarrassed, she has to help Lao Li's family educate her and drag her into the office-
She knew she was wrong, really, but she didn't change it.
"Green light, go. β
"That restaurant is also a time-honored restaurant, cheap and delicious, as long as there is no stir-fry at home, I eat there. β
Brother Nan took Zhou Li to walk two streets and entered a commercial alley, the alley was very lively, and Zhou Li had been here many times, but he really didn't find that there was a stir-fry restaurant here.
When I arrived, I found out that this restaurant was recessed relative to the whole alley, and there were stalls selling octopus balls and grilled wings outside, and there were some miscellaneous things in the way, it was easy to ignore the past if you didn't look carefully, but the business was very good, and when Zhou Li and Li Nan arrived, the attendance rate of the store was at least eighty.
Brother Nan is an old customer, so he said hello to the boss and found a place to sit down.
The two discussed, and ordered a pot of meat, a boiled pork slice, and a saliva chicken, of course, it was basically Brother Nan's opinion, and Zhou Li nodded responsibly.
The waiter's brother brought tartary buckwheat tea, soaked in a glass cup like rat.
With Brother Nan, embarrassment is a very luxurious thing, and after she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, she began to talk to Zhou Li unilaterally-
She often brings friends here, both men and women;
There are those in the class and those who are out of the class;
Those who have eaten it say it is good;
Especially the back pot meat, which is very distinctive.
Zhou Li thought about your brother Nan's treat, and blew this to the sky, and few dared to say no, okay?
The dish was served very quickly, and it happened to be the back pot meat that Brother Nan just said.
Zhou Li put down the cup, this time the pot meat is indeed very special, it looks like it is full of meat at a glance.
Most of them were crystal clear, which made him a little confused.
Brother Nan smiled and handed him a pair of chopsticks: "What do you see, haven't you eaten the meat back to the pot?"
"Thank you. β
"Ang, you taste it, this translucent fat is the same as the skin. β
"Good. β
Zhou Li has eaten garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, green pepper back to the pot meat, lotus white back to the pot meat, and even potatoes and kohlrabi back to the pot meat, but it is really the first time to eat the back pot meat.
He first picked up a piece of the skin, cut it very thinly, the small pieces were shiny, and trembled on the chopsticks, and only when he looked closely could he see that it was not fat.
The entrance is soft and glutinous, the taste is particularly good, and it is not greasy.
Pick up another piece of meat.
It's not pork belly, but the two-knife meat used, half fat and half lean, first add ginger and peppercorns and cook until seven or eight mature, then cut thin slices, simmer out the lamp nest over low heat, so the fat part also becomes translucent, rolled up and the same as the skin.
Brother Nan explained next to him: "This thing is very delicious, in our countryside, for more than ten years, the village does things to stir-fry, and you have to add the skin to the pot meat, because it looks like meat, it will seem like a lot of meat, and it tastes like meat. β
She paused: "But I also think it's delicious now, and it's also delicious to use for barbecue." β
Zhou Li nodded: "It's delicious." β
Brother Nan suddenly smiled, full of a sense of accomplishment.
The other two dishes also taste very good, the boiled pork slices are particularly tender, topped with a layer of chili pepper and peppercorn noodles, and the oil soup of the saliva chicken is ruddy and translucent, but the spiciness is just right.
The recognition from Zhou Li made Brother Nan feel better.
On the way back, the two of them paced slowly, but Brother Nan seemed to be a little sad, sighing for a long time, this kind of state is rare in her.
"Oops...... I'm so sad!" Brother Nan kicked a pebble.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Li asked.
"Have you figured out the volunteers?" Brother Nan turned his head to look at him.
"I have a general understanding, no one has thought about what to fill in now, right?" Zhou Li said, "It's not too late to think about it when the scores come out." β
"How much can you take? β
βenmm......β
Zhou Li fell into thought.
The results of their class are not the best in the school, even except for the direct class above, the average score of each exam in their class is always behind the next class, fortunately, Zhao's mother doesn't care much about this, and it is estimated that she has lost many classes. Zhou Li's grades can generally be admitted to the fifteenth place in the class, and he is still improving recently, and it is initially estimated that even if his performance is very abnormal, he can get on the second line.
Zhou Li wants to go on a line.
So he said, "I'll try to get a 211." β
Brother Nan became even more sad when she heard this, she was carefree for more than ten years, and finally sighed by life: "I really envy you, you all know your results, how much I take the test depends on luck, if you are unlucky, you can choke on both books, if you are lucky...... You said that if I get a top prize in Yizhou, will I go to Tsinghua University or Peking University?"
Zhou Li glanced at her, are you dreaming!
However, Brother Nan was still beside him: "I have difficulty in choosing, check the school, check the major, it's annoying to death, it's best to do well in the exam, but there are fewer options." β
Zhou Li quietly quickened his pace.
Brother Nan continued to kick the pebble forward, as if he wanted to bring people into the school and contribute to the construction of socialist talents.
Back at school, the evening self-study passed in the blink of an eye, and the countdown numbers for the college entrance examination on the two blackboards became smaller and smaller, and there was a suffocating sense of oppression.
Fortunately, Zhao's mother handed over the chores of changing the numbers to Brother Nan, she had no heart and lungs, and she would not be nervous.
The day she tore the rolls was the most.
