Chapter 32 deskmate Lin Peipei
High school was full and stressful, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. After the evening self-study, Teacher Zhou, the class teacher, handed Li Haitang a letter and threw it at her before leaving.
Li Haitang was baffled by his reading. He took the letter back to the dormitory and went to the chase room to take a shower. Before turning off the light, he sat on the bed and opened the envelope.
She didn't read the first part of the story, but looked directly at the last signature, "Jiang Chuheng." She raised her eyebrows and guessed left and right, but didn't even guess that the letter was written by him.
His handwriting was exceptionally good, as if it had been copied from a copybook. After reading the contents of the letter, Li Haitang's big eyes widened and he sent him 50 jin of peanut butter and melon seed butter... Even the money was sent in a letter.
Su Tong, who was in the next bed, saw her covered face and asked curiously, "Li Haitang, what's wrong with you?"
Li Haitang tugged at the corner of his mouth, "A friend of mine sent me a letter asking me to send him 50 catties of peanut butter and melon seed crisps. There's so much that I'm not afraid of choking."
"Haha, these two are really delicious. You see, the students in our dormitory are all fascinated after tasting them. Unfortunately, you don't have them. Otherwise, I would like to buy some." Su Tong smiled brightly.
"When the holidays come, I'll bring more when I get back." Li Haitang folded the letter and put it away. He made the bed and went to bed.
The next day, Li Haitang took the time to call Duan Meifang in the reception room and asked her to help him mail it. The wang family's business is good now. A month ago, a phone was installed to facilitate contact with major supply and marketing agencies and shops.
After confirming this with the wang family, Li Haitang sent jiang chuheng a letter. Then he put it behind him and devoted himself to his nervous studies.
Time passed like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, the first monthly exam for One middle freshmen in tan city was over.
After the exam, the school took two days off, nicknamed "Monthly leave," which meant that the students living in the school should go home to get their living expenses.
Li Haitang didn't go back to Ping shan town, but went to the city to buy some things with a letter sent back to the li family. She had been cooped up in the classroom for the past two days to finish her work.
The early poetry and martial arts novels had a good response, and the two chief editors of the newspapers sent letters urging her to continue writing. She had already sent three poems half a month ago, and all of them had been published in the poetry journals. The second wuxia romance novel was submitted in 20,000 text and outline and passed the examination. She had to save the draft as soon as possible.
Teacher Zhou, the class teacher, had previously thought that Li Haitang had a lot of letters and was worried that it would affect her studies. He had also talked to her deeply.
She had to be honest. After Teacher Zhou found two newspapers to verify it, he didn't say anything more, but he still told her to focus on her studies. Naturally, Li Haitang answered earnestly.
On the first day after the monthly leave, the results of the monthly exams came out, and the red list of the year round results was posted in the study corridor. All the teachers and students in the school could check it out.
Li Haitang, the super bully, was once again famous. He was firmly ranked number one in the year, ten points higher than number two. In the Tam city 1 middle school, where competition is fierce, there are several places apart, let alone ten.
Zhou Yunyang, a study maniac, was third in his age this time. His english was a bit of a hindrance, and his grades in other subjects were quite good, especially in science subjects, which were almost full marks. The english class meant that Li Haitang was naturally dragged by him to study for him, even during the morning and evening self-study.
Li Haitang finally sent Zhou Yunyang home and dragged her tired body back to the dormitory. Seeing that everyone was already in bed and ready to sleep, she greeted them and quickly picked up her clothes and toiletries to take a bath.
After drying the clean clothes on the wire in the corridor, Li Haitang returned to the dormitory and took a dry towel to wipe his hair. At this moment, Xia Lin on the upper bunk suddenly said to her, "Li Haitang, you are very good. I admire you."
"Ah?" Li Haitang's hand, which was wiping the towel, paused. He looked up at her with a frightened expression. Was she talking to him just now? This upper bunk hasn't spoken to anyone in the dormitory for a month. Did the sun come out in the west today?
The other roommates had the same idea in their hearts. They all sat up straight and stuck their heads out, looking at Xia Lin in surprise.
Xia Lin ignored them again and continued to read the book.
At this time, Teacher Liu, the dormitory teacher, yelled outside to remind them that it was time to turn off the lights. Li Haitang quickly dried the water stains on her hair, put the tub and the like under the bed, opened the thin quilt and threw herself in.
Sleep well all night until dawn.
When the six o' clock bell rang, Li Haitang popped his head out of bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat on the bed, changed his clothes, put on his shoes, folded his quilt, and washed up. Then he listened to the classic red song on the radio and ran around the playground three times.
The body was the capital of revolution. This sentence was always in her mind, and she also took exercise as a daily task. Other students rarely ran and exercised like her every day. With this time, they felt it was better to memorize more english words in the classroom.
Therefore, Li Haitang was always the last one in the class in the morning self-study.
Teacher Zhou, the class teacher, was a very open-minded teacher. He didn't ask the students to study hard, and sometimes asked the vice class monitor to organize some activities to let everyone relax. A classmate like Li Haitang, who didn't need a teacher to worry about him, was naturally his favorite.
Most of the students used their morning self-study time to recite chinese and english textbooks, and so did Li Haitang. Perhaps because of her rebirth, her memory was superb and she could always integrate new knowledge into her mind in the shortest time.
This made Lin Peipei, who was sitting at the same table, particularly envious and jealous. He wanted to pinch her twice every day to show his revenge.
Over time, all the students around had the same idea. They worked hard every day, working harder than Li Haitang, but the results were far worse than her. Finally, they sighed, "Her brain structure is different from normal people."
Time flies, and there was only one month left for the last semester of the first year of high school.
On the last holiday, Li Haitang and his deskmate, Lin Peipei, went shopping in the city to buy thick winter clothes and shoes. She walked out of the campus with her schoolbag on her back and followed Lin Peipei's route to meet her at her house.
Lin peipei's house was not far from the school, and she only walked for about ten minutes. Li Haitang quickly found the tube-shaped building where lin peipei's family lived. This tube-shaped building was a dormitory for workers in a local state-owned factory. Lin Peipei's father was a teacher at the state-owned factory's children's school. His mother also worked in the canteen of the state-owned factory.
This tube-shaped building was a five-storey red brick building. Li Haitang had been a little early in the past. Many of the aunts in the tube-shaped building were carrying their clothes to the yard to dry. From left to right, more than a dozen iron wires were hung with freshly cleaned clothes. There were many colorful quilts on the balcony. There were also wisps of smoke coming from several homes. It was obvious that they were burning briquettes.
This was the first time Li Haitang had seen such a tube-shaped building. After standing in the courtyard and looking around for a while, he found the staircase and walked to lin peipei's house on the second floor. The stairs were narrow and dark, and the cement on the walls was peeling off. Some rubbish was thrown in a corner, giving off an unpleasant stench.
According to lin peipei, the third room on the second floor to the left was her home. Li Haitang knocked on the door twice.
After a while, a boy of 11 or 12 years old came to open the door. He looked at Li Haitang with clear eyes. He stuck his head out of the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Li Haitang smiled and said, "Hello, is this lin peipei's house?"
"Yeah, you're looking for my sister?" Asked the other.
"Yes, I'm Lin Peipei's deskmate, Li Haitang. Yesterday, I made an appointment with her to go shopping on the street today. She asked me to meet her at home."
"Oh, I'm her little brother Lin Haowen. My sister is still making breakfast. Come in first." Lin Haowen opened the door and shouted to the kitchen, "Sis, your classmate is here for you."
His voice shocked the rest of the family. Lin Peipei, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula and smiled, "Haitang, you're so early. We haven't had breakfast yet." Then he told his younger brother Lin Haowen, "Haowen, get sister haitang a glass of water first."
"Okay." Lin Haowen replied.
Mother lin, who was washing clothes in the small toilet, poked her head out. A loving smile spread across her round face, which resembled lin peipei by five points. She greeted, "Classmate Li Haitang, our family's admiration often mentions you. Welcome to our home. I'm really sorry about today, because it's the weekend, and everyone is sleeping in. The housework is not ready yet. You're welcome. Sit down for a while."
Li Haitang smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, auntie, you're busy first. You don't have to greet me."
"Hey." Mrs. Lin smiled and shouted to her little son who was pouring tea, "Haowen, there are fruits and sweets in the cupboard. Take them out to serve sister haitang."
"Oh, I see." Lin haowen put the porcelain cup in front of Li Haitang and bounced off to carry out his mother's orders.
Li Haitang sat quietly in the living room and looked at the furnishings of the house. The house was about 90 square meters, with three rooms and a living room. It also had a small kitchen and a small bathroom. In the living room was an old set of wood furniture with red paint, a black and white television on the elevated desk, and in the corner of the living room was the most popular butterfly sewing machine.
As Li Haitang looked around, the door in the master bedroom opened and a middle-aged man with a face similar to Lin Haowen walked out. Li Haitang immediately guessed his identity and stood up politely, "Hello, lin uncle."
Papa lin nodded with a smile and said, "Please sit down. Don't be so polite. Have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, I just ate outside the school." Li Haitang smiled.
At this time, lin peipei came out of the kitchen with noodles and smiled, "Haitang, I knew I would have let you come to our house for breakfast. I would have let you have a taste of my cooking."
Li Haitang glanced at her noodles, a large bowl of noodles with minced meat, chili and onion, and a golden poached egg, "Pepe's cooking looks good. I'll try it again next time."
"Okay, sit down and have some fruit. This pear is from my father's office yesterday. It's juicy and sweet. It's delicious." Lin Peipei took a pear from his brother Lin Haowen and stuffed it into Li Haitang's hand.
"Okay. Isn't your second brother home?" He had heard from lin peipei that she had two younger brothers in her family. Her second brother, Lin Haoran, was in the third year of junior high school, and her younger brother, lin haowen, was in the first year of junior high school.
Lin peipei took the breakfast out of the kitchen and said, "He got up at dawn and went out. It's the third day of junior high school, and he's a little nervous about his studies. He also went to the classroom to study on weekends."
"Wow, so diligent!" Li Haitang had to lament that every student with good grades not only had their own learning secrets, but also had the hard work that others did not see.
Lin Peipei put a bowl of noodles in front of her father and teased her with a smile, "Do you think everyone is as smart and has a great memory as you? You only need to learn it once, but we have to learn it twice or even three times. We don't have enough talent, so we have to make time."
Li Haitang smiled modestly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. My science scores are not the best, and it's a bit difficult to learn."
Lin Peipei rolled his eyes and said in silence, "No matter how bad your science grades are, you are much better than me. Fortunately, this semester, I have Zhou Yunyang as a science genius to help coach me. Otherwise, I will definitely fall out of fifteen on this monthly exam."
After washing her clothes, Mrs. Lin knocked on her head and smiled kindly, "Pepe, your liberal arts scores are not outstanding. They are far worse than haitang's. You have to spend more time learning from her."
Lin peipei pouted and said, "Mom, I'm already trying my best. In junior high school, I felt that my chinese and english grades were very good, but since I met haitang, I knew what was really good. You don't know that her spoken english is not even as good as our english teacher's. Her pronunciation is so good that she can communicate in pure english in her daily life and study. When our english teacher talks to her, she stutters occasionally."
Papa lin asked with a smile, "Li Haitang, your liberal arts scores are so outstanding. Did you choose liberal arts when you were a sophomore in high school?"
"Yes, I'm sure I'll choose liberal arts." There is a saying: learn physics well and go around the world without fear. But Li Haitang still felt that choosing her favorite was the best choice. She would not blindly follow the trend.
Lin Peipei also said seriously, "I also choose liberal arts. I hope we will still be in the same class by then."
After the Lin family finished their breakfast and chatted for a while, Li Haitang and Lin Peipei left together and took a bus to the city center outside the tube-shaped building where they lived.
