Chapter 10 Missing My Hometown

The day was March 18, 1989, and it had been a year since Zhao Hui left Beijing. On this afternoon last year, Zhao Hui stepped on the train to Yinchuan and came to Yinchuan City. During this year, Zhao Hui became familiar with the main streets in Yinchuan City, and knew the geographical location of the East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate. She gradually adapted to the climate here and the cultural environment of the ** region. Zhao Hui still misses her hometown very much, especially on March 18, her heart is full of sadness.

In the morning, Zhao Hui got up very early, she wiped the tears on her face, and thought: Hometown! How can I not miss you? It's been a full year since I left my hometown, when will I be able to go back? Dad sometimes said, 'If you don't go back, Yinchuan City is fine, and I live in Yinchuan City.' Everything here is different from where we live, people speak with different accents, living habits and climatic conditions. I miss the people of my hometown, the climate of my hometown, and the happy life of my hometown. Over the past year, although I have become accustomed to the people, the things here, and the life here, I still miss my hometown very much. My hometown is in the suburbs of Shunyi County, Beijing, which is a place I am familiar with, and every plant and tree there makes me yearn for it. There are teachers and classmates I am familiar with, and there are old folks I am familiar with. But here, it is still very strange to me, I can't get used to the various accents that people speak, even the chemistry teacher has a southern accent, some words are incomprehensible, it sounds very awkward and difficult, and the brain's thinking ability seems to be hindered. Although the teachers of other subjects also give lectures with one accent, it is still no problem to listen to the teacher's lectures. It would be nice if I could go back to school, but it's impossible, my parents are in Yinchuan City, how can I go back to Beijing to go to school? I heard from my classmates that the second year of high school is divided into arts and sciences, I like to study liberal arts, I want to go to the second year of high school to study liberal arts, I study the subjects I like to study, usually work hard, study hard, and my academic performance will also improve.

Zhao Hui came to the school very early, first reviewed the lessons taught by the teacher, and then began to memorize foreign language words.

In the second class in the morning, Zhao Hui stood on the balcony and watched Li Huiguo downstairs playing badminton.

After the third period, Zhao Hui went downstairs and chatted with her classmates on the playground. The fourth class of class 5 is to go to the chemistry laboratory to do experiments. Zhao Hui didn't pay attention to Li Xuanguo coming out, until he talked and laughed with his classmates, Zhao Hui didn't see him, Zhao Hui looked at his back and thought: It seems that his heart must be happy, but I can't be happy, I am missing my hometown.

When Li Huiguo and the others turned a corner, Li Xuanguo turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hui and left. Zhao Hui thought: Is he looking at me? He asked me for a photo, and I asked him for a photo. Now that we don't care, I show him affection, and he shows me friendship. Is there only friendship between us? No matter what, I love him, but this love has to be hidden, and in order not to make him look down on me, I have to study hard.

On March 21, when she was standing in line for morning exercises, Zhao Hui saw Li Xuanguo walking past her, she looked straight ahead, and liked to see him very much, but Zhao Hui was a little embarrassed about her inner thoughts. Zhao Hui looked at the blue sky, and a shadow of melancholy swept in her heart, she thought: This afternoon last year, my father took me to Yinchuan No. 12 Middle School to report, and I went to school that afternoon. Although I was a little sad at that time, I was happy and motivated. But now I feel like I'm covered in scars and full of melancholy. During this year, I seem to have fallen into a sea of suffering, why is it so uncomfortable to leave my hometown?

Zhao Hui glanced at Li Weiguo, who was standing a few meters away, he was talking to the physical education teacher, and then he walked to the front of the team in their class and stood up. Zhao Hui's heart was bitter, she lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, she saw Li Weiguo looking at her. When the classmates scattered to do the exercises, Li Weiguo walked to the back of their class.

Zhao Hui was doing exercises, and she didn't catch up with the first eighteenth beat of the exercise, and she was very serious when she did the twenty-eighth beat. Because of her chaotic thinking, the third quarter was made nonsense. When doing the fourth exercise, Zhao Hui was very serious, but when a person walked past her, Zhao Hui saw that it was Li Weiguo, and he was counting the number of people in each class. Zhao Hui's heart trembled, and she couldn't catch up with the beat of the exercises, she lowered her head and stopped, waiting for the next broadcast gymnastics. When Li Weiguo came back from counting the number of people in each class, Zhao Hui was doing exercises indiscriminately, and her movements were weak. They glanced at each other, Zhao Hui was very scared and embarrassed, she lowered her head, and Li Weiguo passed. The rest of the operation was very messy, and there were several sections that were not done.

At school at noon, Zhao Hui saw Yue Dong riding with a classmate in front, and she rode very fast, she overtook them, and still rode very fast. When passing the traffic light, Zhao Hui didn't want to go around the safety post, and a car behind slowed down, and she turned around from the front of the car. She rode fast and looked at her watch from time to time. When she turned the corner, Zhao Hui saw that Na Yanhua was turning onto the road at the end of the road, she rode quickly, and when she arrived at school, Zhao Hui caught up with her. Zhao Hui put the bicycle on the canopy, and when Na Yanhua was waiting, Li Jiaguo was riding over, he put down the bicycle, Zhao Hui looked at Li Xuanguo and said, "Li Xuanguo just came!" Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Hmm! Why not go? Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Na Yanhua." Li said, "Oh! Fast forward to school! It's almost time for class. Zhao Hui looked at Na Yanhua who came over and said, "Let's go, it's time for class." The students went to school together.

In the first class of the afternoon, the sixth class of physics class was not classed, Zhao Hui looked out the window, the fifth class was in physical education class, and Li Weiguo was in full spirit. After a while, during the free activity, several students from Class 5 played basketball under the leadership of Li Xuanguo.

When the third self-study class was about to end, Zhou Bo in front of him said to the students in the second group: "There are still five minutes left, the students in the second group will clean up, and the cleaning will be finished after class." ”

The second group of students swept the ground, Zhao Hui and some classmates walked to the balcony with their schoolbags on their backs, and when they arrived on the balcony, they met Teacher Yu, the deputy director of the school and the teacher of the fifth class, and Teacher Yu said loudly: "Why did you leave the classroom before class ended?" There's five minutes left! I can't get out of school until I get out of class, so I'm in the classroom! ”

The sweeper stopped sweeping, and Teacher Yu criticized the students: "Your class is too undisciplined, and the class bell is not ringing before the school ends, is there enough to count the number of people?" ”

After class, a few students from Class 5 came to the balcony of Class 6 and looked into the classroom.

Teacher Yu wrote down the names of a dozen or so classmates who went out to play. When the teacher counted the people who were not there, several students from Class 5 pushed a student onto the podium of Class 6 classroom, and the person who pushed him closed the door. Class 6 students burst into laughter, the classmate hurried out, and Teacher Yu was turning around. The students in Class 6 were just about to get out of school, and Teacher Yu said loudly, "Let you go?" Sit it all out! Teacher Yu counted again, checked the numbers again and again, and finally said, "Now the students can leave school." Zhao Hui thought: Teacher Yu is serious and meticulous, and he is really a good teacher who is serious and responsible for his work.

Two days later, when she stood in line in the morning, Zhao Hui saw a girl at the front of the fifth class talking to Li Jiaguo, and Li Jiaguo also smiled and said something after listening.

When the team dispersed and prepared to do exercises, there were four female students in class 5 chatting, and Li Qiguo said to them loudly: "Aren't you four still dispersed?" The girls smiled and dispersed to their feet. Zhao Hui thought: Li Weiguo has very strong organizational skills.

The fourth class ended early, and the students of Class 6 were the first to leave the teaching building. Zhao Hui said to Na Yanhua: "Wait for me, I'll hand in my math homework." Na Yanhua smiled and said, "Okay! I'll bring you your bag. Zhao Hui came back after handing in her homework, and asked Na Yanhua for her schoolbag, and she saw that the two schoolbag straps were open, so she smiled and said, "Na Yanhua, look, you don't help me get the schoolbag strap." Na Yanhua smiled and said, "I have a schoolbag, I can't get it." At this time, Zhao Hui saw Li Weiguo standing not far in front of him, he was looking back, Zhao Hui thought: Is Li Weiguo waiting for me? When Zhao Hui fastened his schoolbag, Yue Dong had already walked to Li Huiguo's side, and Zhao Hui understood that Li Huiguo was waiting for Yue Dong.

Zhao Hui and Na Yanhua walked very fast, surpassing Li Weiguo and Yue Dong. When Zhao Hui and Na Yanhua were pushing the cart to the west, Li Weiguo and Yue Dong were riding from the opposite side and walking east. Zhao Hui lowered her head embarrassedly, but raised her head again, and saw Li Huiguo's shining gaze, Li Huiguo smiled and said, "Goodbye Zhao Hui!" Zhao Hui also smiled and said, "Goodbye!" ”。 Zhao Hui noticed that Li Weiguo loved to laugh, and he was always laughing whenever he spoke.

At noon, Zhao Hui happily changed into the sky blue shirt she bought in Beijing last year, and in the first physical education class in the afternoon, Wang Lei said with a smile: "The clothes Zhao Hui wears are so beautiful, where did you buy them?" Zhao Hui said happily: "I bought it in Beijing last year." Na Yanhua smiled and said, "It's good, it's beautiful!" You look small and exquisite. ”

After physical education class, Zhao Hui stood on the balcony and saw that the fifth class of students downstairs was preparing for physical education class on the playground.

After the second period, Zhao Hui came to the balcony and saw that the male students of Class 5 were still practicing high jump in the high jump venue, and Teacher Yu, the head teacher of Class 5, was talking to Li Yiguo. Li Yiguo glanced at the teaching building, and Zhao Hui thought: Did he see me? I kept looking at him. I saw Li Xuanguo walking to the high jump venue, and when he turned the corner, he turned around and looked at the teaching building again, Zhao Hui thought to himself: I don't know if he saw me, I saw him standing there, looking over here, maybe he didn't see me, maybe he was looking at their classmates. However, I wish he was looking at me, and perhaps the clothes I am wearing today attract him.
