Chapter 22 The High Places Are Unbearable
The deputy squad leader who seems to be very tall, called Zhou Mengmeng, is a very introverted girl, and she usually doesn't talk much.
When school first started, Hu Xiaona remembered her name, because she thought the name Zhou Yimeng was very good, but she didn't know what her nickname was.
Hu Xiaona wondered if Zhou Meng's nickname would be Mengmeng, Hu Xiaona belonged to that kind of inexplicable person, and she wanted to ask what Zhou Meng's nickname was.
Later, she finally found out, she heard from a girl named Li Lanlan in the class, because Li Lanlan and Zhou Yimeng were in the same class in the fifth grade of primary school.
Hu Xiaona and Li Lanlan have only become acquainted with each other in the past two days, and this Li Lanlan is the person who talked to her when the national flag was raised. In the second week of school, Zhou Meng was elected as the vice class president, and the class leader was a very handsome boy.
When other students were gossiping, Hu Xiaona listened to it intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't want to join the group chat. She is not a person who holds grudges, but she just remembers the words of others who instigated her.
Hu Xiaona sometimes feels that her memory is surprisingly good, but sometimes, Hu Xiaona always forgets what she wants.
In physical education class, Hu Xiaona found that Zhou Mengmeng was also alone, and she didn't go to join in the fun with others. As soon as the physical education teacher announced the disbandment, everyone cheered and began to form teams in groups of three or five.
Some boys are playing basketball, some are playing football, some girls are skipping rope, and some girls are gossiping around and gossiping.
Whenever this happens, Hu Xiaona feels extremely lonely and has no good friends, and she sometimes wonders if it is because she is the representative of the English class.
Sometimes, she felt that other girls were jealous of her, so she deliberately isolated her. Sometimes, she feels that she is not good at interpersonal relationships and does not know how to talk to others.
Even if they got together to chat, she didn't know what to talk about. What is there to talk about, she doesn't like gossip, she doesn't want to talk about parents, she thinks it's boring.
Hu Xiaona felt that when chatting in a group, she deliberately had nothing to say, which would cause people to be disgusted. Hu Xiaona finally concluded that because she is not familiar with others, she can't talk together, and if she is a good friend, she will definitely talk about everything.
Just like her and Wang Erni, they speak very casually, they never feel restrained, except for personal privacy, they don't think about what to say and what not to say.
Later, in physical education class, she found that the deputy class leader Zhou Mengmeng was also alone, but they were not familiar with each other, and they just said hello. In other words, they are both class cadres, so they respect each other very much, but their words are limited to greetings, and they speak politely and distantly.
Isn't it cold in high places? Hu Xiaona thought of the newly learned text, in which the book said that the height is unbearable, does it mean that people like them?
Hu Xiaona always likes to think cranky, she thinks how good it would be if she could become good friends with Zhou Yimeng, not only has a companion in physical education class, but also feels very face-saving, because they are all class cadres, Hu Xiaona thinks that class representatives should also be regarded as class cadres.
But a person as tall as Hu Xiaona, she won't deliberately please others, so she doesn't want to take the initiative to talk to Zhou Yimeng.
Unexpectedly, Li Lanlan and Zhou Yimeng are from the same school, and Yimeng is a transfer student. Li Lanlan heard others say that Zhou Mengmeng is a single-parent family, and her parents are divorced.
At that time, although divorce was not uncommon in the village, if any family divorced, it would still spread in the village. It is said that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Whether it was at the time or today, Hu Xiaona feels that this is the truth.
Hu Xiaona feels that children who grow up in single-parent families are very pitiful, and she has always thought so. So, since she heard about Monday Dream's family situation, she began to pay attention to Monday Dream.
The deputy class leader of Zhou Mengmeng is designated by the head teacher, because Zhou Meng's composition is particularly well written, and every time he goes to composition class, Mr. Wang reads the composition, among which there is Zhou Meng's composition.
The homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, generally selects three students' essays and uses them as model essays. Teacher Wang said that whoever writes well will read whomever he writes.
It was the period when everyone regarded the highest enthusiasm for essays, and who wouldn't want their teachers to read their own essays? Some students in the class bought composition books at the small shop outside the school, and some students ordered the school's weekly essay newspaper.
Hu Xiaona didn't have extra change to buy books and newspapers, so she had to read books desperately. She memorized all the texts in the book, and she envied others for having extracurricular books to read, and also envied others for reading the weekly composition report.
Hu Xiaona's composition has not been praised by the teacher, and of course she has not read it once. She found that in the list of essays read by the teacher, there was the name of Monday Dream every time.
Hu Xiaona knew that Zhou Mengmeng did not subscribe to the weekly composition report, nor did she see her reading extracurricular books, so why could her essay be written so well?
Hu Xiaona was too curious about Zhou Meng, she felt that Zhou Zhou Meng could be the deputy squad leader, and she really relied on her own ability.
Although Hu Xiaona and Wang Sanshui are good friends, Hu Xiaona has never recognized Wang Sanshui as a representative of the Chinese class.
On the one hand, because Wang Sanshui's Chinese grades are very average, they were in a class in the fifth grade of primary school, how could she not know Wang Sanshui's details, so Wang Sanshui should not be a representative of the Chinese class.
She thinks that the most suitable candidate for the representative of the language class is Zhou Meng, if she votes democratically, she will definitely vote for Zhou Meng, Hu Xiaona is such an upright person.
Ever since she heard Li Lanlan talk about Monday Meng's family situation, she has paid more attention to Monday Meng.
Regarding the candidates for the speech under the national flag this time, Hu Xiaona suddenly wondered if everyone would choose the deputy squad leader Zhou Meng? Monday Dream is recognized by everyone as a good student.
Hu Xiaona suddenly remembered that the students who were late for the last English competition seemed to have a Monday dream, if she hadn't been late, it was estimated that the top three English in the township would have nothing to do with her. The more Hu Xiaona thought about it, the more she felt that it was very possible, but how could Monday Dream be late at that time?
Is it because of family reasons, is it because of the divorce of Zhou Meng's parents at that time, so it affected Zhou Zhou Meng. Hu Xiaona is always thinking like this, if it weren't for Li Lanlan calling her, she would have pondered for a long time.
Li Lanlan asked Hu Xiaona to go to the corridor to play together, Hu Xiaona looked around the classroom, there were few people, she found that Monday Meng, who usually likes to stay in the classroom after class, also went out to play.
Hu Xiaona thought to herself, didn't Zhou Meng usually stay in the classroom, why did she go outside to play after class today? Doesn't she have any friends?
Yes, after a period of observation, Hu Xiaona found that the deputy squad leader Zhou Yimeng had no friends, except for reading books and writing after class, and went home alone after school.
She felt that her popularity seemed to be better, at least someone would go home with her when she got out of school. Now she has become good friends with Li Lanlan again, although the relationship with Wang Erni is not as iron, but Hu Xiaona feels that it is already very good.
It is precisely because she and Li Lanlan have become good friends that she feels no longer lonely in physical education class. But she felt that Zhou Mengmeng was very lonely, and in physical education class, Zhou Mengmeng was always alone in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Hu Xiaona thought to herself, if she didn't wait for the next physical education class, let Li Lanlan shout Monday Dream, the three of them formed a team, and it was also a small group, then the group leader would be Li Lanlan. Hu Xiaona feels that she is very introverted, but she is still not good at chatting.
Hu Xiaona felt so happy today, because Teacher Wang had already announced the results of everyone's democratic vote, and Zhou Mengmeng won.
That's right, Hu Xiaona chose Monday Dream, and it seems that many people think the same as her.
When Teacher Wang announced, Hu Xiaona was relieved, she was still thinking that other students would retaliate against her, and she would vote for her the most, but she didn't expect that she was thinking too much.
Hu Xiaona told herself not to think crankily in the future, now it's okay, and she doesn't have to think about how to write the leave note, she has nothing to do.
When Teacher Wang read the name of Zhou Meng, the classroom remembered thunderous applause, and it seemed that everyone recognized Zhou Meng's strength.
Hu Xiaona felt that Zhou Mengmeng was really good, not only did she write well in her composition, but she also had excellent grades in all subjects, and what surprised Hu Xiaona the most was that Zhou Meng's math score was particularly good.
Hu Xiaona thinks that girls have good math scores, which is definitely really smart. Like a girl's math score, all the students in the first four classes of junior high school can't find a second one. The results of the math competition were announced last Friday, and Dream scored 97 points in the test on Monday, ranking second in the township.
Teacher Wang said that although the school year has not been open for a few days, in order to grasp the learning situation of the freshmen in the first year of junior high school, English competitions and mathematics competitions have been organized to see which students' grades can be ranked in the township.
Teacher Wang also said that after a while, an essay contest will be organized, and everyone should actively prepare, the number of places in the essay contest is limited, and the specific situation is not clear yet, and I will tell them when the time comes.
When Hu Xiaona heard that there was an essay competition, she couldn't mention how happy she was, she felt that no matter how good the results of the English competition were, it was a thing of the past.
As for the mathematics competition, she felt very embarrassed, because the quota was limited to 5, and the criteria for the selection of mathematics teacher Zhang, as everyone knows, was based on the mathematics results of the junior high school.
Listening to Li Lanlan, in the promotion exam, Zhou Mengmeng was the first in their school, with a perfect score in mathematics and a perfect score in Chinese. Hu Xiaona was surprised, could it be that one point was deducted for Zhou Meng's composition? After that, in the essay contest, there must have been a Monday dream.
Hu Xiaona felt that not only did the Chinese teacher praise Monday Dream every day, but also the math teacher Teacher Zhang also appreciated Monday Dream.
She clearly remembers that in last Friday's math class, Ms. Zhang read the math results of Monday Meng, and then everyone applauded, and she felt that her hands were almost numb.
Hu Xiaona still clearly remembers what Teacher Zhang said at that time: In the mathematics competition, Zhou Yimeng achieved very excellent results, and won the second place in the township, and everyone applauded.
Hu Xiaona wondered if Teacher Zhang was too excited, and after a while, she repeated it again, is there no other word?
There are a lot of words of praise, Monday Dream is smart and clever, Monday Dream is quick thinking, Monday Dream is an example for everyone to learn, it seems that the math teacher is indeed not as good as the Chinese teacher.
Hu Xiaona thought to herself that the second place in the township in the mathematics competition was Monday Meng, so who was the first place in the township? Hu Xiaona's name immediately appeared in her mind, and she felt that it must be Wang Dong.
However, Hu Xiaona guessed wrong this time, and the first place in the township was Huang San in the first class of junior high school.
I don't know why, Mr. Zhang didn't say the name of the first place in the township, only said that the second place in the township was a dream on Monday. Hu Xiaona thought to herself that it might be because the math teacher didn't want everyone to know that Class 13 lost to Class 11.
Of course, this is just Hu Xiaona's guess, how does she know what the math teacher thinks, and she is not so idle to study the specific reasons.
Hu Xiaona didn't know why Wang Dong didn't take the first place in the township this time, but no one is a winning general, and the third place in the township is also very good.
For Monday Dream, Hu Xiaona feels that Monday Dream is really smart, because few girls have such good math scores.
However, Zhou Zhou Meng is very introverted and not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, I don't know if everyone thinks she is too good at studying, so she thinks she is very high?
Maybe students who study well are not easy to get along with, especially girls who also have such good math scores, everyone must feel that it is difficult to get along.
Therefore, Monday Dream in physical education class always seems so lonely, I wonder if Monday Dream feels too cold to be in a high place?
