Chapter 15: Those in Youth

Listening to Zhang Yunqi's request, Luo Dahai was overjoyed.

He responded in one bite, in his eyes, this is not a matter, Zhang Yunqi wants to choose the best class if he wants to choose the class freely, and with Zhang Yunqi's results, the school will definitely arrange him to the best subject-level class.

All the requirements were met, and Zhang Yunqi didn't put on a score, so he said to Zhang's mother: "Mom, I think their conditions are good, I'll go to No. 1 Middle School to study?"

In the matter of choosing a school, the family members are still open-minded, and do not arbitrarily decide Zhang Yunqi's fate, but respect his opinion. Zhang's mother thinks that her son really wants to go to No. 1 Middle School, and what Zhang Xiaonan said is also reasonable, and the boss in front of her also said that let Yunqi make up her own mind, she will say it, it is okay to go to No. 1 Middle School to study, and the road to university entrance examination will be greater in the future!

Luo Dahai's happy face turned red, he held Zhang's mother's hand and said a series of good words, digging a champion, the school will have one more seedling of Tsinghua University and Peking University, of course, the most important thing is that his prize will not be less.

Just at noon, Zhang's mother slaughtered a big fat rooster, made a big pot of fragrant tea oil roast chicken, and ate Luo Dahai with oily face, Zhang Yunqi was next to him, after all, he was the leader of the school, and now that the relationship is good, he can be at ease in No. 1 Middle School in the future.

Two days later, Zhang Yunqi's admission notice arrived.

This thing Lao Zhang's family waited for a summer vacation, and now it has become a piece of waste paper.

Soon, Zhang Yunqi gave up the brand-name secondary school and went to study in the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

In this era when secondary school is prevalent in rural areas, high school is not as worthy of showing off as in later generations, many people are still talking behind their backs that this champion is stupid to read, how good it is to study secondary school, you can work and earn money several years earlier than studying in college, and studying secondary school is to learn technology, practical, and the state package to distribute work, and you can also jump out of the rural household registration, and eat public meals at the public bowl.

These words fell into Zhang Yunqi's ears, and he didn't think that the Zhuang family in the village was ignorant, this was just a gap in vision, if in his previous life, he would also think that the secondary school was stronger than the high school, and chose the secondary school.

On August 20th, he was going to sign up for the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

The eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng drove him there in a tractor, and by the way, he also went to the eldest sister Zhang Qiulan's house.

In the past, the brothers often went to the city, but it was to sell flue-cured tobacco, and they had to rush back to collect the flue-cured tobacco after selling it early in the morning, and they didn't have time to go to the eldest sister's house.

The eldest sister's family is in the family compound of the state-owned Longjingyuan canning factory in Beicheng, Jiangchuan, his brother-in-law is an ordinary worker in the canning factory, called Niu Fen, and now the factory is not profitable, and often cannot pay wages, the old father of the family is paralyzed in bed, and he has to be served, his mother is old and can't do anything, and his sister has no job, and she has just given birth to a child.

Sister Zhang Qiulan took care of the children at home, and the arrival of her younger brother made her very happy, she asked her husband to kill and stew the old hen that she was not willing to eat when she was confined, and then pulled her two younger brothers to chatter.

In the past two months, she also knows some of what happened in her mother's family, the last time she bought a tractor, the two brothers came once, and the family has undergone such a big change, even eight or nine thousand tractors can afford to buy, and the second brother is even more competitive, becoming the champion Lang, the secondary school does not want to read, to read the city of a middle school!

She lives in Jiangchuan City, and she knows too well what No. 1 Middle School means to the people in the city, people who have no money and no ability can't even think about it, those who can go there either have the best grades, or the family has money, like the children of the leaders of their canning factory, are all in the city No. 1 Middle School. Now, her younger brother can also go to the best key high school in the city like the rich children in the city, she is so happy, this younger brother is so proud of her.

Zhang Yunqi saw that the eldest sister was so happy, but he felt a little bad in his heart, now his family is prosperous, but the eldest sister's family is poor, and his brother-in-law Niu Fen is a good young man, who is dragged in a half-dead factory with no future at all, he is thinking in his heart that after the start of school, he will find a way to make money and pull the eldest sister again.

The three sisters and brothers chattered, and soon it was time to eat. The mother-in-law was very enthusiastic, and brought a pot of stewed old hens with mushrooms to the table, and the brother-in-law Niu Fen opened a bottle of Jiangchuan Daqu, and chatted with the eldest brother while drinking.

Zhang Yunqi was not interested in drinking, so he said to his eldest brother after eating, and then went to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School alone to go through the enrollment procedures.

When he went out, he heard a fierce quarrel on the first floor opposite, walked over and took a look, a young man in his twenties was blocked at the door to collect debts, and there were three or five young men in the bungalow rummaging through boxes and cabinets and smashing things, and many factory neighbors gathered around the door to watch the excitement and point their fingers.

In his previous life, during the winter and summer vacations, Zhang Yunqi occasionally came to live at his brother-in-law's house, just like Ji Ling returned to Yunxi Village during the holidays, so he was quite familiar with this place, and he also knew the young man who was blocked to collect debts, called Wang Guibing, who lived opposite his brother-in-law's house, tall and strong, but did not study well, and his impression seemed to be fired from fighting with the workers in the factory.

After figuring out what was going on, Zhang Yunqi suddenly lost his interest in watching the excitement and went directly to the gate of the factory to wait for the bus.

When he walked through the family compound in the factory area, he encountered a lot of people and things in his memory, very familiar, but also felt strange, those houses with an old atmosphere were like mottled old photos in his memory, yellow, moldy, incomplete, and could not see the black and white blurred figure.

"Zhang Yunqi?"

When he walked to the gate of the factory, Zhang Yunqi heard someone call him, looked up, there were three people on the bus stop not far away, two women and one man, the same age as him, after thinking for a while, he remembered that the one who called him was a girl named Zhao Yingying, and the other girl was Li Yufei, and the boy's name was Liu Zicheng.

Zhang Yunqi didn't think much about it and walked straight over.

Zhao Yingying asked, "When did you come to your brother-in-law's house to play?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "This morning." ”

The one next to him, Liu Zicheng, half-squinted his eyes, and said with a smile on his white face: "Have you time to come to the city to play, and the farm work at home has been done?"

Zhang Yunqi glanced at Liu Zicheng.

This little guy's mouth is a little owed, there is a strong sense of superiority, in the impression, his Lao Tzu seems to be the deputy director of the cannery, commonly known as the second generation of the factory that year, pampered since childhood, even if the canning factory is not profitable now, some ordinary workers can not open the pot, but from his point of view, the small life is still delicious, and in the factory compound is one of the best jumps.

Zhang Yunqi remembered that he had also been humiliated by Liu Zicheng before, and once they played together, an aunt in the factory joked that Liu Zicheng and Zhang Yunqi really looked alike. At that time, Liu Zicheng said with a disdainful face: "There is a turtle in the mountains, why is it so similar to me?"

These words were really a big blow to himself who was young and sensitive at the time, but now that things have changed, he didn't take the little things in the past to heart, and in the face of Liu Zicheng's words that he didn't like very much, he just smiled and said thank you for your concern.

Zhao Yingying didn't expect Zhang Yunqi to be so calm and calm, and asked, "By the way, Zhang Yunqi, are you going to take the bus and where are you going?"

"I'm afraid I didn't see Li Yufei and followed me uncontrollably. ”

The girl named Li Yufei next to her frowned and said, "Liu Zicheng, pay attention to what you say!"

"Hey, just kidding. ”

Liu Zicheng shrank his head, as if he was afraid of Li Yufei, but Li Yufei actually looked quite weak and gentle, she was wearing a pink dress, which was really eye-catching, her eyes were big and bright, her long hair was soft and straight on her shoulders, a pink hairpin fell from the tip of her hair, and she looked beautiful and lovely with a smile in her mouth, but after hearing Liu Zicheng's words, her delicate little face was full of displeasure.

In Zhang Yunqi's memory, Li Yufei seems to be the most beautiful girl in the family compound of the cannery, the existence of the stars holding the moon, although they know, but he seems to have never spoken to her in his previous life, probably because he is ashamed of himself, every time he meets, he also looks at it from a distance, and does not dare to approach.

In fact, I have to admit that when I was young, there were many girls who were like bright meteors, and you didn't even have the courage to look at her, this feeling was particularly powerless, and those beautiful and tender models that I saw when I grew up, such a beautiful girl was linked to the blue sky and blue sea, star-rated hotels, seafood dinners, and three-meter round beds.

At this time, the bus to the No. 1 Middle School in the city came, and Li Yufei and the others also took this bus, and Zhang Yunqi got on the bus with them.

Liu Zicheng was very generous, took out two yuan and threw it into the box, paid Zhang Yunqi's fare, and then said to Zhang Yunqi as if jokingly: "Don't thank me, keep the five cents to go back to the countryside to buy snacks." ”

"Don't worry, I won't thank you. ”

Zhang Yunqi took out five cents from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Liu Zicheng's hand.

Zhao Yingying covered her mouth and snickered, Liu Zicheng felt a little down, and scolded in a low voice!

When Li Yufei heard this, she didn't have any expression, just glanced at Zhang Yunqi, who turned around and sat next to the window, and then found two seats with Zhao Yingying to sit down.

The bus passed through the streets and alleys of Jiangchuan City, passed through five or six platforms, and then came to the platform of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and they were a little inexplicable when they saw Zhang Yunqi getting off the bus with them, because they would not have thought that Zhang Yunqi also came to report from the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

Unrealistic.

At that time, it was not easy for rural children to study, most of them were able to successfully complete nine years of compulsory education, and it was very rare for rural children to enter county high schools, and it was too scarce to enter a high school in the city, and it was the best middle school in the city.

Liu Zicheng was a little dissatisfied, why did Zhang Yunqi follow them, and he wanted to find a chance to invite Li Yufei to dinner, and said, "Zhang Yunqi, why are you following us to No. 1 Middle School?"

Zhang Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at the gate of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and said, "When did the No. 1 Middle School hang a sign that only turtles can enter?"

Liu Zicheng's face immediately turned red, and Zhao Yingying next to him hurriedly felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Yunqi, you are scolding me, it's too uninteresting, by the way, do you have something to do here?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "I'll go through the admission procedures. ”

Li Yufei, who rarely spoke, flashed a trace of surprise in her eyes: "You were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city?"

Zhang Yun nodded.
