Chapter 72 Rongshan
Jiang Shuyi also has two books of "Bashu Literature" in her bag, which contain two articles by Zhou Zhi. The first one was brought to her by Zhou Zhi from home. I want to use this method to increase Zhou Zhi’s persuasiveness with my parents.
You don’t have to go to the station when taking the bus, because the new highway loop will pass by the stadium outside the school, so you can just wait there.
On the stadium, a bunch of students from all grades were playing football, playing on the horizontal and parallel bars, and learning to ride a broken rented bicycle.
Behind the highway, in the woods behind Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi, there were also a group of people climbing trees.
Those who love to learn also like to sit on a branch of a tree and flip through books. Zhou Zhi also liked to do this.
The shabby bus came over, and when they got on the bus, they found that there were no seats left.
Zhou Zhi led Jiang Shuyi to the back of the bus and asked her to lean on the seat. He grabbed the upper luggage rack with both hands and asked Jiang Shuyi to grab the lapel of her clothes, which stabilized her and protected her at the same time. Not crowded.
Jiang Shuyi kept her head down, her face flushed, being so close to a boy. She had never done such a thing before.
The bus passed the Hongshui River Bridge and then entered the gravel road. The vehicle became more swaying and bumpy. The two bodies occasionally came into contact due to the bumps, which made Jiang Shuyi's face redder.
When the car arrived at the cannery, many factory employees got off the car and people came on. Zhou Zhi quickly stopped a seat: "Shuyi, please sit down quickly."
Jiang Shuyi sat down and found Zhou Zhi's There are two faint wet marks on the skirt of the clothes, which are from the sweaty palms of my nervous hands just now: "Zhou Zhi...I'm sorry..."
"What?" Following Jiang Shuyi's gaze, Zhou Zhi lowered his head and saw the two traces. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it will be done in a while."
Fifteen Miles On the road, there were people on and off the bus. Although there was a seat available, Zhou Zhi didn't bother to sit down, so he just stayed by Jiang Shuyi's side and chatted with her.
Unconsciously, the car stopped at the entrance of Tianhua Company, and Rongshan Town arrived.
After getting out of the car, the two started walking towards the Central School.
Rongshan Town now has a modern factory area in the east, and the rest is basically the layout of an ancient town in southern Sichuan.
Both sides of the street are blue tiles, wooden walls and stone pavements. The shopkeepers of the shops along the street take the door panels and lay them flat on both sides of the street to turn them into stalls.
The store also has an old-fashioned wooden counter with abacus and glass jars on it.
There are also very old-style barber shops. There is a big iron can above the hair washing area. The water outlet is not a faucet, but a fine cloth pipe wrapped around the iron pipe. Customers can cash in when they want to wash their hair. Pour hot water into a large iron pot, then open the muslin pipe to release the water.
Jiang Shuyi's home is not far from the central school of Rongshan Town. After the two broke up in the previous life, Zhou Zhi also visited Rongshan Town several times. Through the window of the eldest daughter's house, she could actually see Jiang Shuyi's bungalow.
Every time Zhou Zhi would stand by the window for a long time, knowing clearly that Jiang Shuyi's family had moved into the county town, but still hoping to see that figure.
It was just that figure, but it never appeared again in Zhou Zhi's previous life.
With his mind wandering, Zhou Zhi naturally turned into an alley.
"Zhou Zhi, do you know how to get to my house?" Jiang Shuyi was very surprised.
"Ah?" Only then did Zhou Zhi realize that he had unknowingly walked on the road to Jiang Shuyi's house: "Well... I know that this path can lead to the Central School. Your home is near the school, right?"< br>
"Well! Let me go in front."
On both sides of this alley are residences, brick houses, some with small medlar trees growing on the walls, and some with taller eaves. There are swallows' nests.
Turn around the alley and there is a row of bungalows. This is the dormitory of the Rongshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
In front of the bungalow is a dam that is about the same size as the bungalow. The dam has a concrete floor. On the other side of the dam is a long washstand with a faucet at one end, where several women are washing clothes.
There is a stone step where the water comes out of the washbasin. After the stone step goes up a slope, you will find the back door of the Central School.
There are tall and thin trees around the dam of the house and on the small slope. It is actually quite shady in summer and the environment is beautiful.
"Shu Yi is back?" An aunt who was doing laundry saw the two people coming out of the alley, greeted them enthusiastically, then turned around and shouted: "Yufen! Shu Yi is back!"< br>
A woman came out of a house in the middle, There is an apron tied around the waist: "Shu Yi? Eh Zhou Zhi?!"
"Oh, is this the Zhou Zhi who writes novels?" The aunts around didn't even wash their clothes: "This guy is better than watching on TV Be energetic! So weak on TV..."
"What is your novel about? We haven't read it yet!"
"That's right, I just watched the TV interview, but I haven't seen anything in it!"
"Why did you come back with us Shu Yi? What are you..."
"Hello, aunties." Zhou Zhi could only greet everyone with a smile: "I am transferring to liberal arts this semester. I am in the same class as Jiang Shuyi. My eldest sister is from the Central School. Su Xiuhong, everyone should You all know her, right? I came to visit her this time, and I happened to be traveling with classmate Jiang Shuyi.”
At this time, Jiang Shuyi’s father heard the noise outside and left the previous room. Come out: "Okay, okay, kid, sit down. It's a long car and the road is bumpy. Let's go in and sit down first." Shu Yi's mother took Jiang Shuyi's hand and said, "I didn't tell you to eat more, why are you still so thin? Come on, Zhou Zhi, come in and sit down tonight. Let’s eat together!”
Only then did Zhou Zhi have the opportunity to greet Jiang Shuyi’s parents: “Hello, uncle, hello aunt.”
Entering the house, Jiang Shuyi was busy pouring water for Zhou Zhi: “Mom, my schoolbag There are two "Bashu Literature" in it, and Zhou Zhi's two articles are on them, which is amazing! Our class teacher, Mr. Xu, is teaching them to us! ”
"Then you should study more carefully with others!" Shu Yi's mother laughed and scolded: "Don't just talk about others, where are your test papers?" When a stack of papers came out, I became anxious as soon as I saw them. When I read the scores next to each other, my face suddenly darkened: "Shu Yi, what's going on?"
"Auntie, don't worry, Jiang Shuyi is afraid of your reaction, so she asked me to come with you after getting off the car."
"Zhou Zhi, Auntie believes in you, you are not allowed to cover for her! "
"Yes. Auntie, in fact, the school implemented teaching reforms for this test and divided the test papers into two categories. Among them, the top ten students in each class took Paper A, and the other students took Paper B.”
“Paper B is the previous difficulty level, and this Paper A is the difficulty level of the provincial key school test. "
"The students are not used to it yet, so the scores in this test are generally low."
"But Jiang Shuyi's ranking is not low. I went to other classes to get a rough idea. Her rankings were first in the grade in politics, third in geography, fourth in English, fifteen in mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc. More than 20 in history, more than 30 in biology."
"She is ranked fourth in the class, and her grade ranking is also eighteen."
"Eighteen. How awesome is that?" Shu Yi's mother said this, but her expression had already relaxed. It's almost a small improvement on the basis of maintaining the same level: "What about you, Zhou Zhi? You must be very good, right?"
"I can't. My grade ranking is over thirty, which is more than half of Jiang Shuyi's."
“Mom, don’t listen Zhou Zhi is humble." Only then did Jiang Shuyi dare to come out of the kitchen with a cup in hand: "Zhou Zhi was held back by physical chemistry. He was thirty years ahead of He Yongmei, the top student in our grade, just in terms of liberal arts rankings. What a score!”
"Then you learn from others!" Shu Yi's mother looked at Jiang Shuyi and said angrily: "Next semester, subjects will be divided into different subjects. You are only fifteen in mathematics, and you will be held back!"
Shu Yi's father held up his hand A plate of melon seed candies came over: "My child has to be scolded by you before he can sit down! Zhou Zhi comes and eats candies!"
"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Zhi quickly thanked him, and then continued: "Actually, this exam is It makes us very happy to see it There is room for improvement in the future."
"That's right." Jiang Shuyi took the words and said, "What's the use of taking the 9100 test in the past? I haven't seen many questions this time. Teacher Xu said this. This is what you will encounter during the college entrance examination. "
Shu Yi's mother is still a little worried: "Zhou Zhi, our Shu Yi has decided to continue studying liberal arts in her second year of high school. You are so good in liberal arts, so you should help her when the time comes. ”
"Well, she will sit behind me. I will definitely do it." Zhou Zhi nodded: "I'm not good at politics, so I need Jiang Shuyi to help me."
"Okay, you guys help each other." Shu Yi's mother said Then he was satisfied: "Your parents are fine, right?"
Huh? Zhou Zhi couldn't help but was stunned: "Auntie, do you know my parents?"
"Your mother worked in the supply and marketing system." Jiang Shuyi's father was busy in the kitchen, and only the voice came out: "You go back Mention Jiang Qiao and Du Yufen to your parents, he We must know!”
In the previous life, Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi never told their parents from the time they confirmed their relationship to the time they broke up, and they have never met Jiang Shuyi’s parents. Now they can only sigh. The corners of Sichuan are really too small.
"That's okay. I'll take my leave then, uncle and aunt. I have to go visit the eldest lady."
Du Yufen grabbed Zhou Zhi and said, "That's not okay. You send us back comfortably and explain to us specially. We want to thank you for the exam.”
“Your eldest lady definitely didn’t cook your dinner. We knew Shu Yi was coming back today, so we specially prepared something delicious. "
"So I will eat at home tonight, and after dinner I will ask Shu Yi to go with you to see your eldest sister. In elementary school, your eldest sister was Shu Yi's class teacher."
"Yes, Zhou Zhi, the twice-cooked pork cooked by my dad is delicious!" Jiang Shuyi said: "There is also braised duck with shreds. After eating, I will go with you to see Teacher Su."
"Then I won't disturb my uncle and aunt." Zhou Zhi sat down again and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
"Don't be so polite." Du Yufen admired the boy who brought her daughter to the door for the first time: "That's really cool. I didn’t expect you to be so old. The last time I saw you, you were just a little kid.”< br>
“Auntie, have you seen me before?”
“Yes, when you were in the fourth grade of elementary school.” Du Yufen smiled and said, “Shu Yi came back one day and said she had a new classmate. Desk is a role model from Jiachuan County Primary School..."
"Mom!" Jiang Shuyi protested.
