Section 39 Self-introduction (Part II)
Verse 42 vignette
Coming to a new school, a new semester, and starting a new life and experience, there will naturally be no shortage of gossip problems at the beginning, but most of them are boring topics such as the playground of the new school, the teaching building is so magnificent, and how so-and-so teacher is doing, or driven by curiosity, he found some easter-egg-like existence, which caused a burst of shouts from everyone, and Feng Chaochen basically ignored it after having experienced it.
Because there is no time, or perhaps because of the pressure brought by the fame, the time concept of the Sixth Middle School is very tight, and today it has just been reported, and the next day a five-day routine military training began.
But the miraculous thing is that most of Feng Chaochen's naughty mischievous tricksters in elementary school gathered in the sixth middle school, and suddenly saw Feng Chaochen who had been assigned to the eighth middle school here, everyone was somewhat stunned, but before they could make a move, they were overwhelmed by the instructor's merciless reprimand. Maybe it had something to do with just going to junior high school, everyone didn't dare to be too presumptuous, they all put away their minions first, and said a faint hello to Feng Chaochen in surprise, and soon there were no waves.
The top six middle schools in the new semester are like clouds, nearly 1,000 people in the first year of the year, there are those who are outstanding, there are also those who are excellent in learning, and there are many people who are in good shape, and Feng Chaochen is just one of them. At this time, he was not eye-catching in the crowd at all, obscure, he was simply a small grain of sand in the vast sea of people, and he was completely indifferent to everyone at a glance, and he was not outstanding at all.
Fortunately, Feng Chaochen himself does not feel dissatisfied with his desires, he just enjoys the beauty of life seriously every day, and does his duty as a student at his age, and his words and deeds are neither ostentatious nor overly low-key, and the whole is the same as the surrounding public.
In fact, as far as the military training itself is concerned, there are not too many requirements, it is nothing more than a five-day period, starting on time at 8 o'clock in the morning every day and continuing until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with a three-hour lunch break in the middle. However, in order to prevent the scorching sun from burning the skin of the students, and by the way deepening the effect of military training, the school stipulated that shorts, short skirts and sandals were not allowed to be worn.
Military training under the scorching sun is a good test of everyone's physique ruthlessly, most of the people present to receive military training are grown up in the city, and they are only children, pampered, and they are very lacking in necessary exercise on weekdays, and their physique is relatively weak. There is nothing on weekdays, and it is not obvious, just like nothing, but now as soon as the military training is carried out, it is the same as being tested in the demon mirror, and all problems are exposed.
Many people could not even afford to be exposed to the sun for a few hours, and before the first morning of military training had passed, many "martyrs" had already fallen "heroically" in the scorching heat of the sun.
Almost all of them are participating in military training for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of jokes when they first arrive, and there are countless emergencies and small events during military training, among which there are some topics that can make everyone talk about in their leisure time, especially a small thing that is not too complicated to set off a small wave between classes.
The cause of the whole incident is drinking water, because of the large consumption of physical energy during military training, coupled with the exposure to the scorching sun, drinking water has naturally become a must for everyone during the rest period.
Although the school will distribute large vasks of fresh Houttuynia herbal tea every day, the name clearly carries the word fishy, how good can the taste be? Therefore, being able to drink a cold drink that replenishes sugar and water at the same time, cools down, and of course, tastes good has become the most enjoyable thing for everyone during the military training break, and at the same time, Feng Chaochen, who has never only drunk herbal tea distributed by the school, has been somewhat discussed by some people in private.
Generally speaking, there are only three kinds of people who drink herbal tea distributed by the school, one is a military training instructor, the second is a person who can save money, and the last one is a student whose family is difficult and is reluctant to spend two or five yuan or more - almost the money of a meal to buy a drink.
The military training instructor can directly ignore it gorgeously, and as for the last one, it's not nothing, it's just that everyone bought a drink, so why are you embarrassed not to buy it. Wouldn't that be a clear way to tell everyone that I'm poor and can't even afford a two-dollar five-dollar drink, so don't come to me for any activities in the future. So no matter how difficult the family is, they have to slap their swollen faces and buy a fat man, drink for a long time, and then hide in the quilt at night and feel distressed.
As for the second type, which is the person who will save money, there is no such thing, at least in the minds of most people. Teenagers who have enjoyed a lot of pocket money since they were children can't imagine the days when they don't have spare money in their pockets, can't buy snacks they want to eat, can't drink delicious drinks, can't buy their favorite gadgets as they like, this, what a terrible life......
So under the strange and sharp eyes of the people around him, Feng Chaochen, who had never only drunk Houttuynia herbal tea, was obviously classified as poor, and was even ridiculed by a very small number of people in private.
On the third day, the military training of the third class was punished by the instructor for part of the rest time because of a formation problem to strengthen the queue training. Seeing the students of other classes sitting in the shade one by one to cool off, everyone suddenly felt more and more stuffy. It happened that after the end of the training, I don't know why the school's herbal tea was delayed and not delivered in time, under this scorching sun, even the instructor himself was a little unbearable, standing in the shadow of the teaching building and constantly exhaling and fanning, and the beads of sweat that kept dripping down soaked a large area of dark green military uniforms, not to mention the delicate and frail students.
At this time, Zhang Ling, who was quite popular in the class, bought a bottle of fresh orange in the school cafeteria for the first time, and brought a bottle of mineral water to Feng Chaochen, who was leaning against the wall and sticking out his tongue and panting. This immediately caused a crowd of people who had nothing to do at that time, including Zhu Xingping, Zheng Hong and a few other guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
On this day, Zhang Ling was wearing a pure white autumn dress, although the face and arms were covered with sunscreen, but because of the long-term sun exposure and showed a red glow, it looked beautiful and energetic, the soft black long hair was tied back, tied up a beautiful ponytail, thin beads of sweat seeped from the sideburns, stained a few strands of cloud hair around the ears, firmly stained on the forehead, the slightly wet and close-fitting autumn clothes outlined the moving curves when she bent over, and handed out the mineral water bottle in her hand in the sweat and slightly gasped.
Feng Chaochen stood in the corner of the wall a little caught off guard, hesitated slightly, but still generously stretched out his hand to take it, and then in the weird screams of several people around him, Zhang Ling shook her lips, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and left.
A boy who doesn't look dazzling, but doesn't stand out, just like ordinary people, and even a little poor, will be treated preferentially by the beautiful girl Zhang Ling, and personally pay for him to buy a bottle of mineral water?
This suddenly made Feng Chaochen the object of discussion and speculation among many boys in the first year of the first year.
See in yourself a voice of "Thank you!" After Zhang Ling, who took Hongxia behind, Feng Chaochen also had a little turmoil in his heart, but it was fleeting. There is no doubt that this water should be to thank himself for leading the way that day, it seems that he was affected by the discussions of the people around him, Zhang Ling also felt that Feng Chaochen was a free herbal tea to drink because he had no money to buy water, but this return was a little inappropriate, but he planted himself in it.
Hearing the whistles and laughter of the people around him, Feng Chaochen also felt a little embarrassed, and shook his head slightly, these people are really boring and have nothing to do to reach a certain level. The heat was heavy, looking at the cold water bottle in his hand, Feng Chaochen didn't want to think about it, so he raised his head and gulped it up.
Yu Xiaoming's eyes lit up on the side, and he stepped forward and asked very gossipy: "Hey, the beauty's water is delicious, how about it, tell my brother how did you hook up with Zhang Ling's beauty?" ”
"Boring!" This is Feng Chaochen's riposte, pushed Yu Xiaoming away, poured cold water hard, burped and spit out the heat in his throat, and waved his hand impatiently: "While playing with eggs, the heat is dead, and the dead face comes up." ”
Yu Xiaoming grimaced, not caring about Feng Chaochen's indifferent answer at all, and once again came to Feng Chaochen's side, urging curiously: "What's the matter, tell me, how did you hook up with a big beauty?" ”
Seeing that several people on the side were gossiping, Feng Chaochen could think of the consequences of not handling this matter well, and it was very likely that the three of them would evolve into "early love" by word of mouth, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Zhang Ling. So he smiled, shrugged his shoulders and replied: "You people, all of you are dirty guys, it's nothing more than Zhang Ling didn't know where the classroom was when school started, I helped lead the way, this water is why she thanked me for sending it, how can it be as complicated as you think." ”
"Cut!" originally thought that he could dig up a big gossip when he was bored, but he didn't expect Feng Chaochen to admit it so happily, and also told the cause and effect, and immediately lost interest, slammed indignantly, and went to find a place to take a cooler.
Feng Chaochen is somewhat clear about some of the discussions that have been circulating before, but he is too lazy to argue, and if he doesn't drink drinks, it doesn't mean that he is poor and sour, although Zhang Xia's education of Feng Chaochen can almost be classified as harsh, after witnessing his evil deeds of being spoiled by his younger brother, Zhang Xia's infinite love for Feng Chaochen is reflected in one sentence, "No matter how rich you are, you can't be rich children."
Whenever he looked at other children's snacks in his left hand and drinks in his right hand, a bunch of card toys in front of him, and a mouth full of envy, jealousy and hatred, Zhang Xia would come out in time to educate him, "Eating too many snacks will cause tooth decay"; "Study hard, and when you have a chance in the future, you can decide what you want to eat and drink......
Of course, this is not the real reason why Feng Chaochen doesn't drink drinks, although Feng Chaochen has no pocket money, but now Feng Chaochen has thousands of savings. Although this Houttuynia cordata herbal tea does not taste good, it is more dissipative than those cold drinks, and it is not easy to suffer from heat stroke after drinking.
Feng Chaochen in later generations also likes carbonated drinks such as Sprite Cola, but after being reborn, he knows that he is now the key to growing his body, and it is better to drink less such drinks. And now he has somewhat lost interest in this area, compared to the excitement brought by Sprite and other drinks, now he likes to drink plain water the most, and drink it in large gulps, although the taste is light, but it quenches his thirst more than any drink.
And this long feeling can remind him of his own rebirth, and after going through a lot, he now likes this feeling of returning to the basics.
Since the water delivery incident, Feng Chaochen, who was not very high-profile in the class, has become a little famous for a while.
Immediately afterwards, a group of students began to give up iced drinks and began to drink herbal tea distributed by the school, with Feng Chaochen, the first person to eat crabs, those students who were not from very good backgrounds gradually let go of their senseless dignity and began to drink Houttuynia herbal tea with confidence and boldness.
And the facts have also proved that that kind of boring speculation is actually their own psychology is at fault, in fact, no one will always care about what kind of water you drink, everyone is just classmates, and after a long time, they forget everything. Let go of this senseless knot, everyone will return to their previous ordinary life, no longer need to save money for the sake of face engineering, and the number of fainting people on the playground has also decreased more and more since then.
Since that day, the herbal tea in the canteen has not been postponed, and the drink in Zhang Ling's hand has not been handed to Feng Chaochen again, as if everything has never happened.
