junior high school
"Meng Xiaohua!"
Hearing someone call her, Xia Lan turned her head and saw Wei Yinglan, the original owner's tablemate and good friend, and smiled.
Wei Yinglan ran over: "You cut your hair, I thought you recognized the wrong person?" Are you well? ”
Xia Lan said: "Yes, isn't this going to be an exam soon, you have to study quickly." ”
Wei Yinglan approached and asked softly, "Are you going to go to high school?" "I heard Meng Xiaohua say that he wouldn't read after finishing junior high school, so I asked.
"Well, my brother went to work in the county food factory, and my family also has money for me to continue studying." Xia Lan explained to Wei Yinglan as she walked.
Wei Yinglan said happily: "That's great, we will have a companion together at that time."
Xia Lan joked: "Okay, let's sit together then." ”
Walking into the classroom, Xia Lan and Wei Yinglan sat on their seats, not to mention that the classroom was an adobe house, even the lectern desk and the stool they sat on were made of adobe. looked at the surrounding classmates, there were 17 classmates in the class, and there were only three girls in total.
In this era, there are few families who can spare money to let their children study, and even fewer can let girls study, Wei Yinglan's family has four brothers, she is the only girl in the family, her father is the village chief of Wulizhuang, the family conditions are good, and the person is beautiful, her father provides her to study, and simply hopes that her daughter will marry a city man when the time comes, and she will live a good life in the future. The other family is Lu Hongyan in the town, there is a younger brother in elementary school, and both parents have salaries to support the two children.
There are only four teachers in the school and the principal, and the teacher in the first class is Tian Chunlei, the only female teacher in the school, who is about twenty-five years old, with very white skin and not a high character, and the whole person feels very serious.
The outer skin of the textbook is pale green without a pattern, the red font in the middle of the book is printed vertically with the senior high school textbook, and the left row of small characters is issued by the fifties publishing house, the textbook is reversed from left to right, and the font of the book is also vertical, which is completely different from Xia Lan's era, and many words have not been simplified.
The second is a mathematics class, this era is called arithmetic, as well as algebra and plane geometry are taught by Mr. Shi, Xia Lan is also a college graduate, although he has not been in contact with it for more than ten years, but this kind of problem can still be understood quickly.
After school at noon, the students went home one after another, the students who were far away brought food from home, the school provided hot water, and the students who brought their own dry food could eat with hot water, Xia Lan's tablemate Wei Yinglan also brought food, and the two of them went together to pick up hot water and sat on the seat to prepare for dinner.
Wei Yinglan glanced at Xia Lan's food: "Hey! You've got a good meal! "In the past, Meng Xiaohua brought two pieces of wild vegetable and multigrain cakes every time, but today it turned out to be boiled eggs, white steamed buns and oily pickles.
As soon as Wei Yinglan finished speaking, Xia Lan felt several glances at herself.
Xia Lan "............" she is ready for hard and simple preparations, but she is still not simple enough, her mother baked cakes for her to eat at noon this morning, but she didn't eat enough in the morning and solved the two cakes on the way, the egg bun and the rice sauce are taken in the space, and this food is also envied.
"It's not that my brother is going to work in the county seat today, my mother will improve the food, and I will also be stained, hehehe......" Xia Lan quickly explained.
Xia Lan picked up the food in the bottle and shared it with her classmates: "Come and taste it too." As he spoke, he stood up and gave each of the seven or eight students in the class a little bit.
Wei Yinglan pulled Meng Xiaohua to see that she didn't react, so she still went to distribute pickles to others, glared at her, and was angry in her heart, that bottle of pickles used a lot of oil at a glance, and besides, there was not much in total, how much was left of this point? I can eat it for a few days, what a fool.
Xia Lan came back and sat down and saw Wei Yinglan snorting at her, smiling helplessly, if she was the original owner, she would definitely not be separated, why show others if she didn't eat enough, but these are nothing to her, and she can't finish eating.
"I still keep it for you, you don't eat it and I'll share it with others?" Xia Lan teased her.
Wei Yinglan hurriedly said: "Why give me to others, who said I won't eat it?" ”
After lunch, I lay down on the desk in the classroom and rested for a while.
School ends at 5 p.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. in winter, so that students can get home before dark without having to walk at night.
After Xia Lan broke up with Wei Yinglan, she walked home slowly, there were still people working in the fields on the side of the road, and she was in a good mood when she looked at a green wheat field.
When I got home, I saw her mother in the courtyard and Aunt Wang next door.
"Aunt Wang is good, Aunt Wang is good"
"Yo! Xiaohua is out of school? Aunt Wang asked with a smile.
"Well, mother, I'll go back to the house and do my homework first." After saying that, he went back to the house with his schoolbag on his back.
"Then we'll go back too, Sister Xiuyun, what I told you, you think about it, and I'll go back to cook." After speaking, Aunt Wang turned around and left.
At dinner, Xia Lan asked her mother, what is Aunt Wang doing here?
Wang Xiuyun replied: "Come and tell your brother about the matchmaker." ”
Xia Lan: "Who?" ”
Wang Xiuyun: "Her niece, who is seventeen years old with your brother, is handsome and capable. ”
Xia Lan: "Why did Aunt Wu remember to give me a matchmaker?" ”
Wang Xiuyun said, "I don't know that your brother went to work in the county food factory, I didn't refuse or agree, and when the time comes, your brother will come back and ask your brother what his opinion is." ”
Eat dinner and lie down early to sleep, and have nothing to say all night.
The days passed in a hurry, and the day of the high school entrance examination ushered in in a blink of an eye.
