Chapter 31 The beginning of school
If Chu Sheng knew that Tang Shu had been beaten during the New Year, he would definitely applaud Liu Chunyan. Lin Xi packed a lunch box of croquettes and asked Chu Sheng to send them to Fang Chuanzhi. Among the educated youths who stayed, she had a good relationship with Fang Chuanzhi, and it was inconvenient to invite them to be guests, so it was also her intention to send something to the past. Fang Chuanzhi looked at a box of croquettes, sent a small red envelope to Chu Sheng, and then whispered to Chu Sheng: "Bring a message to your sister, let her take it easy, know that she is generous, but it is too eye-catching." Chu Sheng immediately understood what Fang Chuanzhi meant, and after returning home, he told Lin Xi what he said, and persuaded Lin Xi: "Sister, we will be like everyone else in the future, so as not to attract jealousy." ”
Lin Xi reflected on his recent behavior, which was indeed a bit eye-catching, and then Lin Xi restrained a lot, and secretly ate good things behind closed doors, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The New Year passed in a hurry, and the educated youths came back, and Liu Xia brought two pairs of cloth shoes to Lin Xi, both of which were made by Liu Xia's mother. Yuan He brought a canned fruit and a bag of plum candy, which was a heavy gift, Lin Xi didn't want to accept it, Yuan He smiled and said: "I don't see you for a New Year, is this to see me outside?" If you don't want to go, invite me to dinner, we didn't get together during the New Year, and it looks like spring ploughing is coming, and the big guy has a meal, which can be regarded as making some preparations for spring ploughing. In the end, Lin Xi invited some educated youths to have dinner at home.
Lin Xi wanted to eat hot pot, but unfortunately there was no stove, and then Lin Xi borrowed a large casserole, stewed two big bones, put all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms and soy products, which was the main dish, and with a little cold dish, a group of people had a lively meal. During the banquet, everyone told about what happened after they went home, the joy of reuniting with their families and the sadness of the confused future, and finally Yuan He played a round and said: "No matter what, we have to work hard, as long as we can do it, whether we can go back to the city or go to school in the future, it is our own accumulated capital." Just like Fang Chuanzhi, is it right for everyone to say?" Lin Xi agreed with Yuan He's words very much, and also encouraged everyone: "This kind of time will not be too long, the country needs to be built, construction depends on talents, and the future of the country still depends on young people to create, everyone works hard, and there will definitely be a bright future." ”
Everyone was enthusiastic about what they said, and everyone raised their glasses, looking forward to a better future.
Wang Xiaozhen and Yu Linlin, who were not invited, complained: "What does she mean by this? Isolate us, exclude us, and don't call us to dinner." I said that she looked down on people, and you still don't believe it, that group of people are also blind, good and bad. For a meal, Baba hurried to pat himself on the back, and it was not that he hadn't eaten. Yu Linlin is not as extreme as Wang Xiaozhen, she knows that those educated youths brought things to Lin Xi after they came back, and it is estimated that Lin Xi is using this meal to repay favors. They are not in harmony with Lin Xi, so Lin Xi naturally has no need to invite them. For Wang Xiaozhen's broken thoughts, Yu Linlin is one ear in and one ear out.
Han Meifang was the last to come back, but her face was not good-looking, and she didn't bring anything to everyone, but after she came back this time, she was even more silent, and she looked like she was worried all day long.
On the second day of her return, Tang Zhishu convened a meeting of the villagers, although spring plowing had not yet begun, but the preparations had to be made, and Tang Zhishu began to arrange tasks. Lin Xi's hand is almost recovered, and he will go to the hospital for examination in a few days, Chu Sheng is very active in accompanying Lin Xi, but this time Lin Xi did not agree, because the school is about to open.
There is a primary school in Qingshan Village, and the children from several nearby villages are enrolled in this primary school, and the school is not large, and there are few teachers, just a few classrooms. Lin Xi took Chu Sheng to the school, and under the guidance of Liu Chunyan, he found Teacher Wang, who was in charge of the school's work.
Teacher Wang listened to Lin Xi's explanation, before Chu Sheng went to the second grade, according to the normal process, Chu Sheng should go to the third grade, Chu Sheng was unwilling, one more year of study is to add an extra burden to his sister, Chu Sheng offered to go directly to the fifth grade. Teacher Wang frowned: "You haven't been to the third grade, and now it's the second half of the semester, I have made an exception for you to study the third grade, and you may not be able to keep up if you go directly to the fifth grade." Lin Xi heard the displeasure in Teacher Wang's tone, and quickly explained: "We bought textbooks at home, and we have been studying hard during this time, why don't you let him test it to see his level and then divide the class, do you think it's okay?" Teacher Wang was afraid that they were introduced by Liu Chunyan, so he always had to give some face, so he reluctantly agreed. Teacher Wang took out a set of test papers and said to Chu Sheng, "This is a fifth-grade test paper, you can do it first." ”
Chu Sheng took the test paper and started to do the questions, the Chinese was slower, especially the writing essay, the math questions were not difficult for him, and Chu Sheng did it quickly. Lin Xi stood outside the office, watching Chu Sheng's pen flying, estimating that this thing could be done.
Sure enough, after Teacher Wang corrected Chu Sheng's papers, his impression of Chu Sheng was much better, and asked Chu Sheng to go directly to the fifth grade, and asked Chu Sheng: "Who taught you these?" Chu Sheng raised his little face and said proudly: "It's all taught by my sister." Teacher Wang patted him on the head and said, "Okay, you have to work hard after school." Then arrange for Lin Xi to go through the enrollment procedures and pay the fee. After a busy job, Chu Sheng became a primary school student again.
When he got home, Lin Xi remembered one thing, Chu Sheng's schoolbag had not yet landed, and he promised to prepare a schoolbag for him last time, but he forgot about it when he was busy with the New Year. Lin Xi originally wanted to buy a schoolbag directly, but looking at the other children who were all homemade small schoolbags, some children even had only one cloth bag, and then thinking about what Fang Chuanzhi said, Lin Xi felt that she had to learn to keep a low profile, she bought a piece of cloth in the system mall, beige, quite thick. Lin Xi began to sew the schoolbag, and when Chu Sheng entered the house, he saw that under the dim light, Lin Xi lowered his head and was sewing a schoolbag that was about to take shape. At that moment, Chu Sheng felt that his heart was soaked in warm water, and his whole person was warm, his sister was really good.
On the day of school, Chu Sheng carried his schoolbag and waved goodbye to Lin Xi. Tang Shu, who was not far away, urged vigorously: "Chu Sheng, hurry up!" Tang Shu is one year younger than Chu Sheng, and now that the two are alumni, Tang Shu asked Chu Sheng to go to school together. Seeing Chu Sheng's new schoolbag, there was also an embroidered word "Sheng" in the corner of the bag, Tang Shu touched Chu Sheng's bag enviously, Chu Sheng patted his hand, Tang Shu understood what Chu Sheng meant, that is, he didn't like others to touch his things, muttered a few words in his heart, turned his face, and talked to Chu Sheng about the school.
After Lin Xi sent Chu Sheng away, he went directly to the town hospital. After some examination, the doctor told Lin Xi that the bones were healing well, and he needed to pay attention to one thing after that, not to lift heavy objects, and not to exert too much force.
Lin Xijue's self is finally liberated, and he can stop being a "one-armed hero". Back in the village, Lin Xi found Tang Jianguo and told him that he could start working. Tang Jianguo looked at Lin Xi and asked in a low voice: "Although I haven't started spring ploughing, but now the work is also very hard, do you think your hands are just right, can you hold on?" Lin Xi immediately understood what Tang Jianguo meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll rest for a while, and when I am completely recovered, I will devote myself to production and labor." Tang Jianguo felt that Lin Xi was an understanding person, and said a few words of comfort, so he let Lin Xi go back to rest.
At noon, there was a commotion at school, and the children took out their lunch boxes and prepared to eat. Chu Sheng took out the tight lunch box wrapped in thick cloth, the weather was cold, even if the package was thick, the lunch box no longer had a little temperature. opened the lunch box, which contained a serving of three fresh dishes and a poached egg, and the eyes of the tablemate next to him swept over Chu Sheng's lunch box, and he was instantly attracted, and said with an envious voice: "Chu Sheng, this is the dish you brought, can you give me a taste?" "No." The two neat words broke Xiao Xiang at the same table, and the boy could only bow his head and eat his fried pickles, glancing at Chu Sheng's dishes from time to time.
The conversation between the two made the male voice sitting in the front row turn his head, Chu Sheng looked up, and met the slightly sarcastic eyes of the boy, that boy was also Chu Sheng's old acquaintance, the one who snatched his villain book last time. Chu Sheng just didn't see it, and lowered his head to eat his own food.
The sunset dyed the rugged dirt road with a faint layer of gold, Lin Xi stood against the door, the figure of the little boy came from far and near, looking up and seeing the girl waving at him, Chu Sheng couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, quickly ran to Lin Xi, and called sweetly: "Sister, I'm back." Lin Xi wanted to take his schoolbag, but was avoided by the young man, "Sister, I'll do it myself." Lin Xi was not reluctant, and asked him: "After a day of school, are you tired?" I made food, you pad your stomach first. ”
As the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the poor old man. This time is when children grow their bodies, and boys are more likely to be hungry. Lin Xi prepared a snack for him, Chu Sheng washed his hands and face, As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he smelled a fragrance, Chu Sheng sniffed it, it was the smell of red dates. Lin Xi brought a plate of jujube paste yam cake to him, "Taste it, see how it tastes?"
Chu Sheng pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet fragrance of jujube paste instantly overflowed his mouth, and Chu Sheng gave Lin Xi a thumbs up, indicating that it tasted good. Lin Xi looked like a cute little squirrel when he saw him eating with his cheeks puffed out, and he was instantly cute, and couldn't help but touch his head.
Chu Sheng finished eating the snacks and put the remaining jujube paste and yam cake into the cabinet, Lin Xi knew that he had committed a problem with food protection again, and just wanted to say a few words to him, a figure outside the door rushed in, Tang Shu panted and said to Chu Sheng: "Chu Sheng, why did you disappear as soon as you got out of school, I went to look for you, your classmates said that you left early, why don't you wait for me to go home together?" Chu Sheng, who was accused, did not feel the slightest guilt, and said indifferently: "You should go home early after school." Tang Shu was choked, how could this be the same as what his mother said?
Snooping, Tang Shu smelled the fragrance, licked his face and said to Lin Xi, "Sister, did you make something delicious again?" Lin Xi was amused by Tang Shu, and gently pushed Chu Sheng, asking Chu Sheng to take a piece of cake for Tang Shu to taste. Chu Sheng didn't dare to refuse, so he had to reluctantly take out a piece and give it to Tang Shu, Tang Shu finished eating the cake, smashed it, and praised Lin Xi: "Sister, you are so good, and you prepared snacks for us, my mother has never been very intimate." Sister, do you still lack a younger brother?" The indifferent expression on Chu Sheng's face couldn't hold back, and he grabbed Tang Shu's arm and dragged him out: "If it's okay, hurry back and do your homework, don't talk nonsense here." ”
Tang Shu was dragged to the gate of the courtyard, and the boss was unhappy: "Chu Sheng, we are good friends, I came to play with you, why are you still unhappy?" Chu Sheng said in his heart, are you here to play with me? Tang Shu held the gate of the courtyard and refused to leave, Chu Sheng blocked the door and pushed him out, and the two were in a stalemate at the gate of the courtyard for a while.
"What are you two doing here, wrestling?" As soon as the two looked up, Little Doctor Song was standing not far away and was happy with them.
Lin Xi handed a glass of water to Dr. Xiao Song, who looked at Chu Sheng and Tang Shu, touched his nose, and coughed lightly: "What are you two doing here? Lin Xi looked at Dr. Song's appearance, and it was estimated that something was wrong. Waiting for Chu Sheng and Tang Shu to leave, Dr. Xiao Song still stretched his neck to look out, and confirmed that both of them were gone, before he said to Lin Xi: "I came today to ask for your help." ”
Lin Xi waited for his next step, and Dr. Xiao Song touched his ears, blushed a little, and said: "The day after tomorrow, my family has something to do, and I want to treat you, can you help me cook a meal? "Yi Linxi's understanding of this father and son, it would be good if their father and son's level could cook the meal, it was not a problem of the end.
This is not a big deal, so Lin Xi should also go down, and discuss with Dr. Xiao Song what dishes to prepare and how many people will eat. When the two of them were about to talk, Lin Xi suddenly thought of something, last time I heard Dr. Song talk about his son's eldest child, and he didn't have a partner yet, this time he wanted to have a treat, could it be ....... Lin Xi got together with Dr. Xiao Song, and asked mysteriously: "Are you going to go on a blind date?" This sentence made Dr. Xiao Song blush, and after a few prevarications, he fled. Lin Xi covered his stomach and laughed, people in this era are really innocent.
Chu Sheng looked at the obviously rich meal, and looked at Lin Xi puzzled, Lin Xi handed him the chopsticks and explained to him: "Today is your first day of school, we eat better, and it can be regarded as a celebration of you becoming a primary school student, you have to study hard!"
Looking at Lin Xi's smiling face, Chu Sheng couldn't help but think of when he was in the first grade, when he came home from school on the first day, he had something to say to his family. But when he came back, what he heard was Jin Cui's complaint: It's good to raise up, but you still have to go to school, not to mention spending so much money, and no one does the work at home. Chu Dagen still echoed on the side: Brother and sister, my mother let me go, and I can't stop it. When he returns, he'll do the rest. Go back and recognize a few words, and don't read them to him, so it's always okay. Hearing this, all my good mood at that time was gone, and all that was left was the disappointment of this father. Now looking at the dinner specially prepared by his sister for himself, Chu Sheng secretly told himself that all this was given by his sister, and he would definitely repay his sister when he grew up.
The two ate and talked about going to school. Lin Xi was worried that Chu Sheng would not adapt to school life, Chu Sheng naturally reported good news to Lin Xi, and told interesting things that happened in school, Lin Xi felt that everything was going well for Chu Sheng in school, and he was also relieved. Lin Xi asked him again: "Is there enough food to eat, is there a place for hot rice?" Chu Sheng said: "It's enough to eat, but there is no place for hot food, the school has boiling water, soak it, and you can eat it." Lin Xi frowned when she heard this, boiling water to soak in rice is not healthy, she asked Chu Sheng tentatively: "Do you want to come back for dinner?" Chu Sheng shook his head.
This school is said to be in Qingshan Village, but in fact, it is located between several villages, and the children generally eat at school, running back and forth is troublesome, and the family still has to go to work, and they are all casually dealt with at noon, and it is impossible for them to cook and eat even when they come back. Chu Sheng also thought so, if my sister went to work and there was no one at home to cook, it was better to stay at school to eat, and besides, the food he brought was good, and he could eat it with hot water bubbles, so much attention would be paid to it. The two finished the meal after talking and laughing, Chu Sheng went to wash the dishes, Lin Xi looked at the recipe, thinking about what to cook when he went to Dr. Song's house to take charge.
When reading the recipe, Lin Xi couldn't help but think of one thing.
Now that she has that cookbook, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking. It's just that Chu Sheng has to go to school, and there must be a lot of money to spend after that, and he doesn't have much money left in hand, so it is estimated that it will not be bad if he does not starve to death by relying on centimeters. If you want to save some money, you still have to open a way to make money.
In college before, she also read a few time-traveling novels, and basically did some small business secretly, so that the money came quickly. Lin Xi felt that he could follow suit. As for what to do, you must rely on that cookbook.
