Chapter 9: Playmates
had an idea in his heart, so when he came home from school, Shen Chi opened his mouth to his mother.
When Gui Shuzhen heard that her son wanted to buy a book, she didn't refuse, and immediately gave her son two yuan.
Two yuan was a huge amount of money in the eighties, Shen Chi didn't expect his mother to be so happy, and after asking, he learned that the people who collected salvia had come in the morning, and the salvia dug by Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen during this time was sold for more than 30 yuan.
At this time, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only about forty yuan, so the two yuan that Gui Shuzhen gave Shen Chi had a strong purchasing power.
Shen Fang saw that her mother gave her younger brother two yuan, and she also clamored for it. Gui Shuzhen's eyes glared: "Xiao Chi is asking for money to buy books, what do you want money for?" ”
"Mommy is eccentric." Shen Fang pouted and stepped aside.
When Hu saw it, he was afraid that Shen Fang would have a dislike for his mother, so he hurriedly took out a few pieces of hemp candy from the room and gave it to her.
Because she asked her mother for money, Shen Fang was still vomiting, and she didn't wait for Shen Chi after eating, so she left first.
When Shen Chi came to the school, he saw that the door of the office was open, so he went straight to find it, originally he was looking for the principal, but the principal was not there, only a male teacher was inside, Shen Chi saw that the teacher was Duan Jiawen, the mathematics teacher who had taught him.
Shen Chi was about to leave, when Teacher Duan shouted at him, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Shen Chi had no choice but to turn around and respectfully replied, "Teacher, I'll look for the principal." ”
"What's the matter with the headmaster?" Teacher Duan, who was correcting his homework, became interested, stopped the pen in his hand, looked at Shen Chi with a smile and asked.
Shen Chi had no choice but to answer: "I want to find the principal to buy a set of sixth-grade textbooks." ”
Previously, Shen Chi's ability to do the sixth-grade test paper had already attracted Duan Jiawen's attention, and when he heard that he was going to buy sixth-grade textbooks, his smile was even stronger, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "The principal is not here, I can sell you a set of them." ”
As he spoke, he took out a string of keys from the drawer, got up and said to Shen Chi, "Follow the teacher." ”
Walking through the corridor to the first door at the end, I tried a few times to open the mottled wooden door, and found the sixth grade textbook in a pile of textbooks, in addition to Chinese and mathematics, there were nature, labor, art, calligraphy, history, etc.
Shen Chi saw it and hurriedly said, "Teacher, I only have two pieces." ”
As he spoke, he quickly took out the money.
Teacher Duan smiled when he saw it: "This book is for you, no money." ”
"How can you do without money?" Shen Chi exclaimed.
"It's okay, I'll talk to the principal." Teacher Duan motioned for Shen Chi to take the book away.
Shen Chi thanked Teacher Duan again and again, and Teacher Duan smiled even more, saying that this child was not only smart, but also very polite.
Before the classroom door opened, Shen Chi took the book and had to go under the big locust tree on the playground, take out the math book and look at it seriously.
With the arrival of students one after another, the playground gradually became lively, Shen Chi wanted to find a quiet place to continue reading, but at this time, Sun Tao, who was in the same class as him, also came, and saw Shen Chi hurriedly shouting: "Shen Chi, let's play paper squares." ”
Paper squares are tofu blocks folded with waste paper, and the gameplay is that one party puts the blocks on the ground, and the other takes the blocks to hit the opponent's blocks, and uses the air flow generated by the blocks to fan the ground to turn the opponent's squares over, and if they don't turn over, they will be replaced by the other party.
This game is somewhat gambling in nature, because many students have not finished a semester, and their textbooks are all torn and broken.
Shen Chi looked at Sun Tao and said, "I don't have a block." ”
Sun Tao took out a piece from his hand and handed it to Shen Chi and said, "I'll borrow you." ”
Idle and bored, Shen Chi agreed.
In fact, Shen Chi originally didn't want to play such a childish game, because Sun Tao was short, round-faced and fat, half a head shorter than Shen Chi, and there was a snot hanging under his nose for many years.
Not only do his classmates not play with him, but sometimes they love to bully him, and even the teacher frowns when he sees him, so usually at school, he always squats in the corner alone and watches others play.
Shen Chi also played with him out of sympathy.
This kind of game not only requires strength, but also depends on skill, and in less than half an hour, all the squares in Sun Tao's hand were lost to Shen Chi.
"You wait, I'll fold it again." As he spoke, he was about to rush to the classroom.
Shen Chi hurriedly stopped him: "I still owe you one, pay it back to you." ”
Sun Tao took the square and said, "Let's come again." ”
This time, Shen Gu let him, but after more than ten minutes of fighting, he accidentally knocked over his square. Sun Tao wanted to go back to the classroom to fold the square, and Shen hurriedly returned the winning square to him, for fear that he would tear up his book.
Sun Tao is also honest, as long as half of it, he also counted: "Count me to borrow you, let's come again!" ”
As he spoke, he put a block on the ground with great interest.
After playing with Sun Tao for a while, there were gradually more people, and other companions asked Shen Chi to play with the police to catch the thief.
This game can exercise Lu Ben and gain knowledge points and skill proficiency, and Shen Chi readily agreed. At this time, Sun Tao had a burst of loss on his face, and squatted aside silently, Shen Chi couldn't bear it for a while, and Shen Chi said to Li Hai, who came to call him: "Let's take Sun Tao with us." ”
Lehi glanced at Sun Tao and said, "Okay." ”
Sun Tao showed a look of disbelief in his eyes, and when he heard Li Hai agree, he got up with a happy face and followed Shen Chi and them.
The two sides quickly distributed the number of people, deciding who would be the policeman and who would be the thief.
Now that Shen Chi's physique has increased to eight points, his agility and strength have greatly improved, and he is no longer the weakest one as before, whether he is a policeman or a thief.
During the play, Shen Chi found that Sun Tao was extremely active, probably the first time someone was willing to play with him, and he seemed extremely excited.
At this time, it was Shen Chi's turn to be the policeman, and he rushed straight towards Sun Tao in the lead, and Sun Tao immediately ran away with a smirk.
Shen Chi chuckled lightly and chased towards Sun Tao, who knew that Sun Tao looked silly, but he had a lot of eyes, when Shen Chi was about to catch up with him, he suddenly stopped suddenly, and Shen Chi couldn't help but rush over for a while.
Sun Tao changed direction and was about to run, when Shen Chi passed by him, he instinctively reached out and grabbed the collar of his undershirt.
Hearing only a "squeak", Shen Chi accidentally tore Sun Tao's clothes.
Shen Chi couldn't help but panic in his heart, he was secretly screaming in his heart, thinking that Sun Tao would cry, but who knew that he didn't care, and still asked Shen Chi to keep shouting: "Come on, come and catch me!" ”
Shen Chi couldn't help but feel sad for Sun Tao, he was so short of playmates that someone playing with him was more important than anything else, even if his clothes were torn and he might be beaten by his parents.
