Chapter IV: Sending Letters
On that Saturday in mid-December, during the morning exercise, Li Xuanguo stood not far from Zhao Hui's class, Zhao Hui didn't dare to look at him, but every time she deliberately talked to her classmates and turned around, she would see his gaze shooting at her. At this time, the students discussed: "Last night, the fifth class of the torch relay race ran last. Zhao Hui listened to it and thought to herself: Ah! Li Xuanguo, I don't dare to look at you, when you stood at the gate last night, sometimes with your back to the gate, sometimes with your hands on the door and looking at the campus. Thinking about it now, you must have been miserable at that time, you were depressed about finishing last in your class in the torch relay. I regret not being able to comfort you last night.
The flag-raising ceremony was held on Monday morning, and Li and a classmate stood under the flagpole during the queue, and today Li and that classmate were in charge of raising the flag. Zhao Hui bowed her head and walked silently past Li Yingguo. The flag-raising ceremony began, in the sound of loud music, the five-star red flag was rising, the eyes of the students were fixed on the national flag, Zhao Hui felt that the scene at this time was so solemn and sacred. At the end of the flag-raising ceremony, the classes left in order, and when Li Zhenguo left with the team of their class, Zhao Huimu saw him leave.
During Tuesday's morning exercise, Zhao Hui saw Li Weiguo standing in front again, recording the number of people in each class. Zhao Hui added great courage when she saw him, Zhao Hui hadn't run for several days because of rheumatism, but today she decided to start running.
At school at noon, Zhao Hui wanted to meet Li Weiguo so that she could talk to him, but she never thought that she still hadn't met every morning, tonight. When she walked into the school gate, Zhao Hui looked up at the balcony of the first (fifth) class of high school, Li Weiguo and a few classmates were standing on the balcony, and they happened to see Zhao Hui and a few of their classmates who had just walked in. Zhao Hui didn't want to see Li Weiguo, she was really angry, she thought: Why can't I meet you when I go to school?
When I went to school on Wednesday morning, it was still a little dark, and Zhao Hui was turning onto the road, and a person was riding a bicycle quickly. Zhao Hui recognized it as Li Weiguo at a glance, and couldn't help but shout: "Li Xuanguo." Li Weiguo slowed down, and Zhao Hui rode hard to catch up with him. Li Yiguo smiled and said, "Zhao Hui, it's you, I didn't recognize it because it was too dark." Zhao Hui smiled and said, "Yes! She paused and said, "Li Yiguo, you arrive at school very early every day!" Li said, "Well! You're pretty early today, too. Zhao Hui let out an "oh". Li Yiguo said with a smile: "Your class won the first place in the torch relay race!" Zhao Hui said, "Well! Although your class ran at the end, I think victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the important thing is to participate. Li Xuanguo said approvingly: "Yes! It was also my first time participating in the torch relay race, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao Hui said: "That's right, there is still fire on the baton, which makes people feel how dangerous!" Li Yiguo couldn't help but "haha" and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of fire, how can you compete?" Zhao Hui also smiled. Soon, they were at the school gate, they put away their bicycles, and walked into the school together. When they went upstairs, a boy in their class came up and entered their class classroom with Li Yiguo, and Zhao Hui walked into the classroom of her class alone to start a day of study.
When standing in line in the morning exercise, Zhao Hui came out of the classroom, and saw Li Huiguo and one of their classmates also going downstairs in the corridor, and Li Huiguo also looked at Zhao Hui. Walking out of the corridor, Zhao Hui didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head and walked to the position where their class stood in line.
Zhao Hui stood there and saw Li Weiguo walking towards this side, and he first counted the number of people in their class. Next to Zhao Hui stood a male classmate of the fifth class, the classmate didn't stand together, Li Yiguo came over, his right hand grabbed the clothes on the classmate's chest and pulled it forward hard, and said a word of Ningxia dialect, Zhao Hui didn't hear clearly. The classmate smiled and said, "'What are you?' ', 'What do you belong to?' Obviously, Li Xuanguo said this about him just now. Li Jiaguo came over, Zhao Hui stood in the class, Li Huiguo dragged the classmate again, the classmate could barely stand, he also grabbed Li Huiguo's clothes and pushed it hard, Li Huiguo stepped back, just hit Zhao Hui, at this time Zhao Hui smiled at them and didn't say anything, Zhao Hui was really afraid that they would fight, but the classmate and Li Huiguo both laughed. Li Yiguo stood in front and shouted to their classmates: "Take a break, stand upright, and keep up with the forward!" The fifth class stood in line under his command.
At this moment, Zhao Hui felt that Li Weiguo was so tall, with a manly and condescending personality and a soldier's temperament. He is conscientious and positive about the tasks taught to him by his teachers.
When they came back from running, Zhao Hui and her classmates walked into the playground like a ball of loose sand, and the students of several other classes had already stood up. Li Chuguo stood in front of the queue of their class and looked at Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui lowered his head and stood in line with the classmates in his class.
At the end of school in the afternoon, Na Yanhua's car key was lost, and she couldn't find it, so she put her bicycle at the school's car storage area, and Zhao Hui took Na Yanhua home along the way.
When going to school on Thursday morning, Zhao Hui met Na Yanhua walking over at the intersection, and Zhao Hui smiled and said, "Na Yanhua, I'll take you to school together!" Na Yanhua said happily: "Okay! Thank you very much. Zhao Hui took Na Yanhua through the South Gate bus station and turned a corner, a person came from behind on a bicycle, Zhao Hui saw that it was Li Chuguo, Li Chuguo smiled and asked: "How do you ride a bicycle?" Na Yanhua said helplessly: "I lost my bicycle key yesterday, so I left my bicycle at school." I met Zhao Hui just now, so I asked her to take me with me. Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I met her as soon as I left the house." The three of them went to the school gate together, put their bikes away, and walked into the school gate together.
After school at noon, Zhao Hui and Na Yanhua pushed her bicycle out of the school gate from the storage area, and Zhao Hui went to push her bicycle again. When she ran to the school gate, she saw Li Yuguo and a classmate in their class laughing and coming out. When Zhao Hui pushed the bicycle, she saw Li Weiguo standing three or four steps away from her, Zhao Hui asked with a smile: "Have you forgotten where to put the bicycle?" He gritted his teeth, frowned sharply, and said with a wry smile, "I just can't remember where I put the bike." He threw his bag back and turned in the opposite direction to find his bike. Zhao Hui pushed the bicycle and went to find Na Yanhua without waiting for Li Weiguo.
On the way home, Zhao Hui and Na Yanhua were riding bicycles in the dense crowd, her heart was very uncomfortable, I don't know what happened to Li Weiguo just now? Zhao Hui felt a little dizzy, she seemed to be helpless like a bird in distress, and along the way, Zhao Hui's mood was always very heavy.
At noon, Zhao Hui went into the house to rest without even finishing a steamed bun.
When she went to school in the afternoon, Zhao Hui was sentimental all the way, wishing that someone could catch up, but when she arrived at school, she was also alone.
In class, Zhao Hui tried her best to listen to the physics teacher's lecture, but Li Weiguo's figure always appeared in her mind, and she always thought of his somewhat angry eyes.
After school in the afternoon, Zhao Hui and Na Yanhua said that I had something to do on the street, and after she sprinkled a bucket of water, she walked out of the school gate with Liu Yanling. When she arrived at the carport, she didn't want to go to the street again, so she went back to the classroom to find Na Yanhua to go home with her. Na Yanhua was running a board newspaper, and Zhao Hui said a few words to her and left. At this time, the first (fifth) class of high school happened to be out of school, and when they left the school gate, Li Weiguo and Yue Dong were talking and laughing and pushing bicycles. Zhao Hui stood next to the bicycle and put her schoolbag, and when she pushed the bicycle, she saw Li Zhenguo smiling in her direction. They got on the bicycle and left first, Zhao Hui watched them go away, she got on the bicycle and turned in the opposite direction and walked from the path. When she arrived at the ring road, Zhao Hui was riding alone, and suddenly heard someone calling her, "Zhao Hui, why are you alone?" Zhao Hui saw that Li Chuguo and Yue Dongzheng were riding over, Zhao Hui smiled and said, "Na Yanhua is running a board newspaper, I didn't wait for her." Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Oh! She's running a board newspaper! Zhao Hui asked happily: "Have you finished your class report?" Yue Dong said loudly: "The board newspaper of our class was completed yesterday. Zhao Hui, your house is not far from Na Yanhua's house, right? Zhao Hui replied, "Not far." Li Yiguo smiled and said, "Their homes are on the same road!" Yue Dong said, "Oh! No wonder I always see them walking together! The three of them were talking and unconsciously arrived at the south gate bridgehead, Li Weiguo and Yue Dong turned on the road to the east, and Zhao Hui soon arrived home.
On Saturday night, Ms. Zhao wrote several letters. There was a letter sent to Li Yuguo for a New Year's card, on which Zhao Hui wrote a happy New Year's message, and she wanted to send out the card the next day. Before going to bed, Zhao Hui added coal and sealed the stove, because it was a little cold, Zhao Hui drank some rice wine at home, and only poured a small cup, but she didn't expect to be a little dizzy after drinking, she whispered: "Li Chuguo, why did you do that at noon yesterday, you know that I feel uncomfortable." Zhao Hui was afraid that the stove would go out, so she wanted to get up at night to see how the stove was? After setting the alarm for half-past four, she went to rest.
On Sunday morning, when Zhao Hui opened her eyes, it was already seven o'clock. After eating breakfast, his father asked Zhao Hui to go with him to the street to buy curtain fabrics, and Zhao Hui thought: I just went to the post office to send a few letters. Zhao Hui and her father bought curtain fabrics, and bought two plastic flower baskets with small lanterns for three yuan, which are particularly beautiful. When Dad went to buy steamed buns, Zhao Hui went to the post office to send a letter. She bought an envelope at the post office, wrote the address, and wrote a letter addressed to Mr. Wang. When it came to the last letter to Li Weiguo, Zhao Hui was a little hesitant, not knowing what would happen tomorrow? At this time, her father came to her and asked, "Xiaohui, haven't sent a letter yet?" Zhao Hui hurriedly put the envelope into the mailbox and said, "The letter is finished, Dad, let's go!" ”
Back home, when Zhao Hui arranged the plug of the flower basket, it was not plugged in properly, and it was pulled out again, and then a plug was left in the socket, and my father said: "It's too dangerous, don't move!" If you move, it's over, you won't be able to look at your mother, and your mother will settle accounts with me when she comes! Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I know I can't move." "Zhao Hui watched her father fix the plug with pliers, and thought to herself: It's very dangerous, I have to learn a lesson, be careful with electricity, I just sent a letter and am going to be electrocuted, will I be said, 'High school students don't understand anything, they will be electrocuted'. Ay! Whenever death comes, we know the preciousness of life and cherish it. Ay! Eighteen years old, should be an energetic eighteen, should be a hopeful eighteen.
