Chapter 5: Generous Tablemates
Yulan has always been in this mood of looking at the sky blue and the water clear, and jumped into the campus of Hongguang Primary School.
The homeroom teacher of the first grade is surnamed Miao and teaches Chinese. Mr. Miao looks like he is in his thirties, with fashionable short curly hair, a goose egg face, slender eyebrows, narrow phoenix eyes, a little thick lips, and a round chin slightly upturned, looking very spirited.
Yulan sketched the female teacher's figure in her mind, imagining what kind of clothes to match to best reflect her temperament. Thinking about it, I feel itchy hands, but it's just itchy hands.
She couldn't explain why she drew the costumes. So even if she is full of inspiration in her head now, she doesn't dare to start drawing. I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, and a sigh involuntarily escaped from my mouth. provoked a sullen laugh from the girl at the same table.
Teacher Miao asked the students to introduce themselves one by one in front of the podium. Magnolia sat upright in her seat and listened meticulously. From today onwards, all the people and things she will meet are things that she has never met and are familiar with before. Without the advantage of a prophet, she must be more attentive to ensure that her future does not deviate from the course.
After the students introduced themselves, Teacher Miao picked a few older and sturdy-looking boys to help carry the books.
Magnolia's tablemate leaned over and asked with a smile, "Hey, how old are you?" My name is Chen Dong'er and I am 8 years old. Why did you sigh just now?"
Magnolia glanced at Chen Dong'er, the little girl was wearing a white bubble skirt, combing two small braids high, the braids hung down to her ears, shaking as her head turned. Eyebrow bangs, curved eyebrows neat and thick, black eyes like pearls, staring round at the moment, the bridge of the nose is small and cute, and the mouth is like a small ingot, very cute.
This is a soft cute girl. Magnolia identification completed.
The cute girl Chen Dong'er is looking at her with blank eyes, waiting for her to answer.
Yulan thought about it and said casually, "I'm 6 years old." I sighed just now when I suddenly thought that the weather was so hot, and my aunt had to bring me food at noon, which was too hard. If only I could have grown earlier. ”
Chen Dong'er shouted happily: "Ha, you are younger than me, you want to call me sister!" The tone was unconcealed excitement, and he asked in surprise: "Is your home far away?" Why don't you go to my house for dinner at noon? My house is close, right in front of the school. ”
Yulan was shocked by Chen Dong'er's self-cooking, and waved her hand again and again, "Eh, no, no." My aunt will bring me food. ”
Chen Dong'er was not angry, she chattered endlessly, and she didn't care whether Yulan responded or not, she was very happy.
Magnolia supports her forehead, and the same table is a chatterbox, and her ears will not be clean in the future.
Teacher Miao came back with someone to carry the books, and Chen Dong'er finally stopped talking.
Magnolia held the new book in both hands, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the unique ink fragrance of the new book penetrated into her nose, making her feel an unprecedented satisfaction.
Her pious appearance was exchanged for Chen Dong'er's laughter.
Magnolia ignored her, and instead flipped through the book page after page.
The first-grade Chinese textbook is very easy for Yulan. In the past, although she only studied in junior high school, she later completed the self-study exam by her own efforts and obtained a college diploma. Therefore, a book is read in no time.
Closing the book, Magnolia was horrified. She closed her eyes, and the contents of the book seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she knew exactly what was written on that page, paragraph, and line, and she didn't even miss the punctuation.
She actually ...... Unforgettable?
Chen Dong'er looked at Yulan's movements and asked in surprise, "Do you understand all this?"
Yulan hurriedly shook her head and denied: "How can it be so powerful, the teacher hasn't taught it yet." I'll just flip through it. ”
Chen Dong'er patted her chest, "I'm scared to death, I thought you understood it when I saw you like that." Also, if you really understand it, you'll become a little monster. ”
Yulan glared at her angrily, and Chen Dong'er was stunned for seconds.
Perhaps thinking that it was a bit too much to say that Yulan was a little monster, Chen Dong'er dug into the pocket of her schoolbag, took out two fruit candies, handed one to Yulan, peeled the other and threw it into her mouth. While sucking and eating, he vaguely urged Yulan to eat.
"Eat it, it's delicious. My uncle brought it from the city. We are good friends, and of course we have to share delicious food together. ”
The freshly baked good friend Magnolia couldn't cry or laugh. However, after this contact, she has discovered that Chen Donger is actually a tenacious, cheerful and generous little girl, so she does not reject such a small partner.
For many years to come, Chen Donger was overjoyed whenever she thought about it. How lucky she was to exchange the price of a fruit candy for a close friend who would benefit her for life.
After distributing the books, Ms. Miao began to teach the students.
Magnolia listened attentively.
Chen Dong'er will look at the teacher for a while, and look at Yulan for a while. I wanted to say something to Yulan, but I didn't dare to disturb her. Although this new friend is younger than himself, he has a good temper.
She didn't know why she was a little scared.
After Mr. Miao finished the lesson, he pointed to a few letters on the blackboard and asked the students to practice in the pinyin book, and then took the water cup to pour the water.
Chen Dong'er watched Teacher Miao's figure disappear at the door, and immediately couldn't wait to bump Yulan with her elbow.
Yulan was concentrating on writing, and she didn't watch out, when she was hit by Chen Dong'er like this, the pencil crossed an arc on the paper, and the written words were wasted.
Yulan put down her pen and glanced at Chen Dong'er helplessly.
Chen Dong'er smiled a little wryly, "Gree...... I...... I ...... and "I" were defeated under Yulan's calm gaze.
She handed Magnolia her eraser a little doggedly.
Magnolia took it and asked her what was the matter.
She scratched her head, "I just want to ask, if you can understand the teacher's lecture, I don't understand it." ”
Yulan didn't say whether she understood or not, but after thinking about it, she said, "You preview the textbook first, write down the things you don't understand, and ask the teacher after class." Review it a few more times after class, and you should be fine. ”
Given the big personality of her new tablemate, Yulan felt that she needed to set up a rule, and she didn't want to be disturbed every time she attended class.
Yulan returned the eraser to Chen Dong'er, and deliberately said to her with a straight face: "If there is anything, you can wait until the end of class." You are not allowed to talk, you are not allowed to make small movements, and you are not allowed to disturb me in class. ”
Three "no" in a row made Chen Donger stunned. What if the new friend is not very friendly? She hung her head a little frustratedly, like a sun-burned flower, listless.
Yulan was a little unbearable, but in order to clean her ears in the future, she still relentlessly and continued to finish.
"However, after class, you can ask whatever you want. Yulan continued, secretly thinking: "As for whether I answer or not, it depends on the mood." ”
Chen Dong'er raised her head suddenly, and instantly resurrected with full blood, and her smile was so bright that she could blind others.
Yulan held her forehead, this stupid girl! I didn't hear what I was saying.
Magnolia swallowed the words that followed. Forget it, she won't listen to what she says now anyway.
Seeing that Yulan continued to write and ignored her, Chen Dong'er had no choice but to write honestly on her stomach.
When the bell rang for the end of class, Teacher Miao quickly came in, walked around the classroom, commented a few words, assigned homework after class, and let the students leave class.
As soon as Chen Dong'er saw Yulan put down the pen, she immediately took her hand and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the toilet." I'm familiar with this school, and we often play in the school during the holidays. ”
It seems that little girls like to be in groups for everything. Yulan turned her head and looked around, and found that the little girls around her were all holding hands, so she couldn't help but not let go of Chen Dong'er's hand.
There were still two math classes in the morning, maybe it was too fresh, or because the math teacher Chen gave a very interesting lecture, but Chen Dong'er listened to the two classes in peace, which made Yulan's ears a lot clearer.
After school, most of the students who live nearby go home for dinner, and the school gradually quiets down.
There are still a dozen or so students left in the classroom, some of these people are from nearby villages, not far away, like Yulan, only one lunch is solved at school: the other part is a boarding student, who eats and lives at school, brings rice and vegetables from home every Monday, and goes home once on weekends.
Some people with good family conditions go to the fast food restaurant at the school gate, a bowl of rice and a vegetarian dish can be eaten for only 1 yuan, and you can have meat and vegetarian food for 2 yuan.
The school also has a cafeteria, but it doesn't sell food, only steaming rice.
Teachers and students living in the school need to scoop up their own rice, fill it with enough water, and put the aluminum lunch box tightly in the designated place in the cafeteria before class in the morning.
After class, take the lunch box according to the name engraved on the box, with the pickles you brought at home, or go to the fast food restaurant to get a dish, and you can cope with it in one meal.
The people in the classroom have all gone one after another, and A-Niang's food delivery has not yet arrived. Magnolia looked up at the clock hanging on the blackboard behind her and began to do her homework.
The classroom was silent, except for the rustle of the tip of a pen across the paper.
By the time Yumei brought food over with a red face and sweating profusely, Yulan had already finished her homework.
Yulan took the notebook as a fan to fan Yumei.
Yumei walked under the scorching sun for more than half an hour, and sighed comfortably as soon as she entered the shady classroom.
While urging Yulan to eat, she instructed her, "I'll pick you up after class in the evening, don't run around." ”
Magnolia shook her head and refused. "Sister, I know the way, I don't need you to pick it up. It's too hot, running around, and you're going to get heat stroke. The last time I went home with my mother, I walked back by myself. I can do it. ”
After thinking about it, he added: "I'll bring my own food tomorrow, then Sister won't have to run back and forth at noon." ”
At this time, the countryside was still very simple, and the children in the countryside were all free-range, native-born locals, and they all knew each other. Even if children are in the wild, they are not afraid of losing them. So Yulan didn't have a burden at all when she said this.
Besides, Yulan felt that she needed to exercise more. The body is the capital of the revolution, and she doesn't want to plant a heel in her health before the journey has begun.
Yumei no longer persuaded. Daddy and Auntie work for others, and she is busy with all the work at home. On this hot day, she doesn't like to run one trip at a time.
Magnolia ate the food in the aluminum lunch box cleanly, and trotted to wash the lunch box on her short legs. Yumei shouted worriedly behind her, "Slow down, be careful of falling." ”
Sending Yumei away, Yulan circled around the classroom to eat. After going around in circles, Magnolia lay on the table and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Not long before the afternoon class, the classroom became noisy.
Chen Dong'er brought a box of frozen chrysanthemum tea drink to Yulan. There was still a mist on the outside of the drink box, and it was cold to the touch.
It's 94 years, and refrigerators are still a rarity in the countryside now. Although Chen Dong'er didn't mean to show off, the eyes of the classmates around her immediately changed when they looked at her.
Yulan did not refuse Chen Dong'er's kindness, and took the box of drinks in an envious gaze, and at the same time, she also took the hand of friendship handed by Chen Dong'er.
The class bell rings and the afternoon class begins.
Outside the window, the sun is warm, and inside the window, the sound of books is loud.
