Neighbor's Daughter (novella) Zhang Baotong

The school organizes ball games. Hearing that Wang Baocheng was going to compete with Yu Weimin for the table tennis singles championship, Luo Yuxiu happened to be fine, so he wanted to go over and have a look. The competition was held in a large classroom. When Luo Yuxiu entered the arena, there were already many people inside.

The two opponents practiced for a while, and Jiang Pengfei, who served as the referee, announced the start of the game. Yu Weimin served, Wang Baocheng received the ball and was beaten to death by Yu Weimin. The audience applauded. But when Wang Baocheng won a point, there was no reaction off the field. Wang Baocheng saw that the audience on the field was one-sided and biased towards Yu Weimin, and he seemed a little flustered, and lost points again and again. As a result, Yu Weimin led 5-1. The audience applauded desperately, and some even shouted loudly.

At this time, Wang Baocheng served, Yu Weimin made a mistake in receiving the ball, but the referee judged the ball to wipe the tennis. Wang Baocheng re-served, but the referee sentenced Wang Baocheng to serve for a violation. Wang Baocheng served again, and the ball was sent out of bounds. The score on the court was 7 to 1, and Yu Weimin made a mistake in serving, but the referee judged it to be a side. Wang Baocheng explained to the referee that the ball did not rub the edge. However, the referee asked everyone if they were wiping edges, and everyone said that they were wiping edges. Wang Baocheng can only obey the referee's verdict. Soon, Wang Baocheng lost the first game. At this time, the whole venue was thunderous.

After changing venues, Wang Baocheng looked very angry, but very helpless. He wanted to calm his mind, but his heart didn't calm down for a long time. Luo Yuxiu immediately squeezed into the front row, stood only two or three meters away from Wang Baocheng, and looked at him with a very worried and concerned look.

Wang Baocheng saw her at a glance. He didn't expect her to come and watch him play, and he was looking at him with a very worried eye. As if greatly encouraged, he let out a long breath and strengthened his confidence, and began to serve and attack, and scored six points in a row. At this time, some spectators whistled, and others cheered.

Yu Weimin panicked and served out of bounds, but the referee ruled that it was a side. Then, Wang Baocheng attacked the ball and brushed the edge, but was judged to have made a mistake. Some viewers couldn't stand it anymore and started talking angrily. Luo Yuxiu was so angry that she couldn't hold back any longer. She walked up to Jiang Pengfei and said loudly, "Is this still fair play? Don't you feel blushing when you do this?" Jiang Pengfei's face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears. Yu Weimin's face also turned red. The entire arena was suddenly silent. Luo Yuxiu glanced at them with contempt, then turned and walked out of the crowd.

After that competition, Luo Yuxiu felt that Wang Baocheng was more active in learning, worked harder, and became more sensible. That day, it was Luo Yuxiu's turn to be on duty, and when she entered the classroom in the morning, she found that the classroom had been cleaned, the desks, chairs and blackboards were wiped clean, and even the windows and lamps were polished very brightly. Moreover, as soon as class ended, Wang Baocheng rushed to wipe the blackboard and wiped the blackboard very clean. Some classmates said to Wang Baocheng, "Don't make a mistake, today is Luo Yuxiu's duty." Why are you so active?" But Wang Baocheng said, "What's the matter? I am willing, if you want to wipe it, you can also wipe it." ”

At the end of the final exam, Wang Baocheng scored the highest score in the class in six of the eight courses, and once again ranked first in the class and the whole grade with an average total score of 95. And Luo Yuxiu also ranked second with 92 points. After the parent-teacher meeting, the queen mother was very happy and wanted to invite Luo Yuxiu to dinner.

Because the Wang family has no money to buy a house, they still live in the original bungalow area. After Luo Yuxiu's family moved to the building area, she hadn't come to Wang's house for a long time, so she wanted to come and have a look.

The Queen Mother asked her what she wanted to eat. She said she wanted to eat the dumplings made by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother made dumplings for her, and knowing that she liked to eat dumplings under the firewood fire, she started to make a fire in the stove. Luo Yuxiu said to the queen mother, "Why do you still have this kind of pot stove in your house?" because every family uses gas for cooking and fire. Wang Baocheng said on the side, "It's not for you, my mother said that you like to eat food made with firewood." Luo Yuxiu didn't expect that this pot stove was reserved for her, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After a while, the Queen Mother brought a large bowl of dumplings and let Luo Yuxiu eat them. Luo Yuxiu wanted to wait to eat with everyone, but the queen mother said that she would have to go to the second pot. The dumplings are made with large meat and cabbage hearts, and they are very tender and delicious. Usually, Luo Yuxiu can only eat a small bowl of rice at most, but today she finished eating a large bowl of dumplings. The second pot of dumplings was served on the table, which was for Wang Baocheng to eat. Luo Yuxiu saw that there was no meat in the dumplings, but they were filled with eggs and cabbage, so she asked the queen mother why she used two kinds of stuffing for a meal of dumplings. The Queen Mother said that the meat filling was not enough, so she wrapped some in eggs. However, when the Queen Mother was eating with a bowl, Luo Yuxiu saw that the bowl was not dumplings, but noodles.
