Chapter 405: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5
Chapter 405: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5
On the first day of school, Gu Li and Xu Hongmei from the next room woke up late, went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast together, and then rushed to the classroom.
In the eyes of the villagers, children who can be admitted to high school are very impressive, and Comrade Zhang Yuhua deserves to walk with his head held high in the village. But it was not until she entered high school that Gu Li saw the difference.
There are only two classes in each grade in the village school. The high school is different from the village school that Gu Li attended. There are eleven classes in one grade.
Her previous grades became insignificant. The student list next to the blackboard in the classroom was arranged according to their admission scores, and Gu Li's score when she entered the class was actually below average.
Almost the last one.
Gu Li was so shocked that she was a little speechless. She took the new books on the podium one by one, walked silently to the second to last row and sat down.
Gu Li developed relatively early and had been sitting in the last row for five years in elementary school. It was not until junior high school that she had the opportunity to be surpassed and moved up a row.
She was used to sitting in the second to last row, but after the head teacher adjusted the seats according to sitting posture and height, she was forced to move forward two rows.
Gu Li:-----
The series of blows made Gu Li feel listless the whole morning.
Gu Li, once the king of children and always among the top three in any test, has suddenly become a nobody.
Fortunately, a lunch in the cafeteria with vegetables and meat cured Gu Li's confused mood. After putting the washed rice bowl into the cupboard, Gu Li returned to the dormitory facing the sunshine.
"The food in the cafeteria is just so-so. Look at those freshmen, they are so happy."
"It's my first time eating in the cafeteria, so I always feel it's new. Once you eat more, you'll know that the dishes are just fried!"
There were three old students walking beside Gu Li, looking like they could see through everyone.
Gu Li pretended not to hear.
Comrade Zhang Yuhua in her family is very stingy. Generally, the family is reluctant to buy meat unless there is something important. It is already very good if there is one or two pieces of meat in one meal a day, like in the canteen.
When I returned to the dormitory, several roommates were also gossiping.
Wang Bing slept on the upper bunk near the door. He was already lying on the bed, but his head was still propped up. When he saw Gu Li coming back, he smiled like a morning glory, "Oh, the person you were discussing is back!"
"Hey, Gu Li, why did you come back just now?" Xu Hongmei washed her face and was climbing onto the bed.
Gu Li smiled. She had a red sausage rice in the cafeteria today. It was the first time she had eaten a whole section of red sausage, and her taste buds were greatly satisfied. She had eaten red sausage at home before, but Comrade Zhang Yuhua had cut it into thin slices, so it was not as delicious as before.
Could she say that she enjoyed herself a little longer because the sausage tasted so good?
She can't.
All I could ask was, "What are you talking about? About me?"
"Hey, they all say that the most handsome guy in our class sits behind you."
"Ah?" Gu Li took the thermos from the cabinet and poured herself a glass of water. "All?"
Zhang Caixia's bed was on the upper bunk next to the locker. She lay on the bed and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Wang Bing said Xiang Haiwei was the most handsome, and Xu Hongmei said Cao Dijin was more handsome."
"What about you?" Gu Li asked naturally.
Zhang Caixia avoided his gaze and lay down with her head tilted back. "I'm nearsighted and couldn't see the person's face clearly." Her tone seemed to sound a little regretful.
The thermos bottle is not keeping the water warm very well. The water I drew yesterday evening is not very hot now. Gu Li drank it all in one gulp and then took the basin to the sanitary area to get some water to wash her face.
The weather in September is still very hot, and the only way to keep cool is to wash your face with cold water and fan yourself.
"Do you want to get some water? I just got it back and haven't washed it yet. If you want, pour some over." Lu Dan, who sleeps on the upper bunk of Gu Li, is a shy girl. I haven't heard her speak much since yesterday.
She shared half of the water in the basin with Gu Li.
Xu Hongmei had finished washing her face and was wiping the mat with the water she had used to wash her face.
"Hey, Gu Li, what do you think? There are two handsome guys sitting behind you. Which one do you think is more handsome?"
Wang Bing, who was on the upper bunk, paused in fanning himself and even stuck his head out over the bed rail.
"Me?" She had been immersed in confusion the whole morning and hadn't really seen whether the person sitting behind her was handsome or ugly.
"Don't tell me you're nearsighted, you sit at the back of the classroom as soon as you enter!"
"I'm not nearsighted, but I really don't pay attention to whether someone is good-looking or not. My eyes are not on the back of my head."
Gu Li looked at Wang Bing and said, "You are very observant. You can accurately pick out the best-looking person in the class even though you are sitting in the first row?"
"That's right, I have very sharp eyes."
That’s right, otherwise how would he know that she was sitting in the back at the beginning?
Wang Bing added: "I pay special attention to the good-looking people in the class, whether they are male or female. Just like I saw you as soon as you entered the classroom."
Gu Li: ------
Xu Hongmei snorted, "So you didn't even see me entering the classroom with Gu Li! You are judging people by their appearance, which is not advisable!"
Xu Hongmei and Gu Li entered the classroom together, looked at the list together, and sat in the second to last row together. However, Xu Hongmei was taller and bigger than Gu Li, so Gu Li was moved to the front by the head teacher, while Xu Hongmei stayed where she was.
Wang Bing didn't give up. He leaned over the bed railing and half of his body to ask Gu Li, "Hey, Gu Li, there are two handsome guys sitting behind you, how could you not see them? Don't be shy, we are just talking in private, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
Gu Li:-----
There was really nothing to be shy about, but she really didn't care.
Gu Li had no choice but to say, "I will go and take a good look this afternoon and give you the answer when I come back in the evening!"
Wang Bing:-----
After taking a nap in the dormitory for half an hour, Lu Dan was the first to get out of bed and pack up, ready to go to the classroom for class.
Gu Li was the last one to get up, but she was not in a hurry. She took a basin to the washroom to wash off the sweat from sleeping, and then went to the classroom in the shade.
Class 3's classroom was at the innermost part of the first building. When Gu Li entered the classroom, most of the students had already arrived.
Wang Bing, who was sitting in the front row, kept winking at Gu Li, which made her eyelids hurt. When she looked away and walked to her seat, her eyes met those of the boy sitting behind her.
Gu Li:-----
Respond with a polite smile.
The boy was stunned, and immediately turned his head slightly and looked away.
-------Dividing line-------
This short story is more of a group portrait, and it mainly tells the story of five girls with different personalities in that era. Therefore, the story line of Gu Li is not as detailed as before.
Comrade Zhang Yuhua is a microcosm of most women of that era. It cannot be said that they did not love their children, but they were constrained by the times and their own views, so they could only do that.
In addition, I would like to ask for a wave of five-star praise! Darlings, please move your precious little fingers!
