Chapter 92

Tang Qingqing had forgotten about this matter before, but now she remembered it after seeing it being performed.

She asked directly: "Did you come here to pick a fight that day? When did I offend you?"

Tang Qingqing's voice was not loud, but the students around her heard it and looked at her.

Shi Zhan had never expected that she would not hesitate at all and had no idea of ​​being euphemistic. She said it directly in public, catching him off guard.

Tang Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. She didn't expect that Tang Qingqing, who looked quite gentle, actually had such a straightforward personality.

She was very familiar with Shi Zhan. Shi Zhan was not a worker's son, but the son of the director of the Tobacco Bureau. Since the Tobacco Bureau was not far from the machinery factory, he studied in the machinery factory school since he was a child.

When he was in junior high school, Shi Zhan was in the class next to Tang Xiaoxiao. Because he was good-looking, he was very popular among the girls.

His personality is completely different from his appearance. He is very handsome and somewhat androgynous, but he has a very hot temper.

Especially when facing people who mistook his gender, he would rush up to them like a firecracker and start a fight. He is a well-known fighting king. In addition, his father is a leader, so no one dares to mess with him.

Tang Xiaoxiao was a little scared, worried that Shishan would lose his temper. She looked at Shishan, then at Tang Qingqing, but did not dare to say anything.

At this moment, the head teacher walked in and the originally noisy classroom became quiet.

Tang Qingqing stopped pestering him and sat upright. The head teacher was a bald man in his forties. He cherished his remaining hair very much and kept it neat and tidy.

There was a naughty student who kept staring at the top of his head, making faces and grinning.

The head teacher glanced over and the expressions of those mocking students froze in place.

"If anyone dares to cause trouble in my class, I will go straight to your parents, no matter who you are! If you don't change after repeated admonitions, you will be kicked out of my class!"

The head teacher's eyes swept over Shi Zhan, who was sitting in an untidy manner, and gave him a meaningful look.

Shi Zhan rolled his eyes and didn't take it seriously at all.

Tang Qingqing sat upright as usual, listening carefully to every word the teacher said.

Although it was the first day of school and they talked about the same old things, she was still very serious.

In fact, Tang Xiaoxiao fell asleep when she heard these words. Under normal circumstances, she would have taken out her notebook to draw, but seeing Tang Qingqing so serious, she felt embarrassed to be distracted and also imitated her and sat up straight.

But facts have proved that not everyone can be a good student. After a while, Tang Xiaoxiao collapsed and fell on the table.

There were no formal classes on the first day of school. The focus was mainly on letting everyone get to know each other and distributing books and other trivial matters.

Everyone has experienced this process before and has become accustomed to it, so it doesn't really matter.

Although it is a new school and a new class, I have known many people since childhood, so they look familiar to me, so I don’t feel anything new.

After school, Tang Qingqing went to Shi Zhan to ask about what she had not finished saying before.

Since we were all classmates and sat close to each other, we couldn't avoid interacting with each other.

Just say whatever you want to say. She hates being secretive and she doesn't want to be scolded for nothing. She always wants to know the reason.

Shi Zhan, however, just couldn't open his mouth. He hesitated for a long time and even wanted to ignore Tang Qingqing and leave.

Tang Qingqing did not stop him, and said in a calm and steady voice:

"I have to go to the Public Security Bureau soon. Captain Shi should not be very busy recently."

Shi Zhan, who had only taken two steps, stopped immediately. He heard the threat in the words and said angrily, "Why are you still acting like an elementary school student when you are so old?"

Tang Qingqing guessed correctly, Shi Zhan was indeed afraid of his cousin Shi Pengfei.

"Since you are not an elementary school student, just explain it to me like the masters do."

When Shi Zhan heard this, his eyes widened and his ears turned red.

"I came to trouble you, what's wrong?"

"Why? When did I offend you?"

"You didn't provoke me. I just didn't like you before."

Tang Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Because of Tang Zhenzhen?"

"Yes... No! It's my own idea. It doesn't matter if I give it to others."

Tang Qingqing was even more certain of her guess, "What did Tang Zhenzhen tell you?"

"Don't make blind guesses. It has nothing to do with her!"

Seeing him like this, Tang Qingqing became more certain of her guess. She felt something was wrong when she entered school today. Some people looked at her unkindly.

She doesn't have a face that is disgusting at first glance, and she does have this confidence. There must be a reason why everyone behaves like this.

Now it seems that it has something to do with that counterfeit product.

She didn't bother her because she felt that spending her time and energy on these things was a waste of her life, but if things came to her, she couldn't just do nothing.

"What did she tell you?"

"She really didn't say anything! I just figured it out on my own. I know I was wrong. You're actually a pretty good person. I apologize to you for my previous behavior."

When Shi Zhan said this, his face turned red.

There were not many people left in the class, and everyone present was shocked to see this scene.

This fighting king has never given in to anyone, but I didn't expect that he would apologize to someone today.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Qingqing with admiration, unable to believe what she saw.

"What kind of speculation made you come here to confront me?" Tang Qingqing didn't let him go so easily.

According to the current trend, unless a man encounters something particularly infuriating, he will not cause trouble for a woman, as he would feel ashamed.

Shi Zhan didn't expect Tang Qingqing to be so difficult to talk to. No wonder the rumors said that she was particularly difficult to get along with.

"I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted you to be less arrogant in the future."

"I am arrogant?"

"You just believed the rumors. Now I know you are not that kind of person." Shi Zhan muttered with his head down.

People outside don't know the details, but he knows how powerful Tang Qingqing is.

In just a short period of time, he helped the police solve many cases.

The person that my uncle often talks about now is Tang Qingqing. He can't understand how a little girl can be so amazing. His parents are full of curiosity about Tang Qingqing.

Shi Zhan had reason to suspect that he was assigned to Class Nine because of Tang Qingqing.

Although his grades were not good and he should have been in Class 9 or even Class 10, he had his father, so he could at least be assigned to Class 5 or even higher.

Classes nine and ten both have very poor grades, and are filled with a bunch of people who are just trying to get by, or are just ordinary transfer students from outside.

Tang Qingqing's ability to use faith in the strong was so magical and powerful that it greatly changed his impression of Tang Qingqing.

In particular, she assisted the police in solving the murder case, which further demonstrated her uniqueness. He respected capable people.

Seeing Tang Qingqing, he felt embarrassed. He felt like he was still playing like a child, while Tang Qingqing had become the guest of honor of the adults.

"What did you say about me?"

"Oh, don't ask me, we are just guessing."

Shi Zhan was not stupid. He knew what Tang Qingqing wanted to ask, so he couldn't tell the truth.

Seeing his expression, Tang Qingqing knew that she would not get any more information out of him, so she let him go.

He acted like a monkey and quickly slipped away, disappearing in an instant.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Qingqing with admiration: "Qingqing, you are so awesome!"

Tang Qingqing laughed: "What's so amazing about this?"

"I've never seen anyone so scared of someone. In the past, even teachers were involved."

Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining.

Tang Qingqing went home with Tang Xiaoxiao. Since they were both children of machinery factory workers, they basically walked the same route home. During this process, Tang Qingqing clearly felt the strange looks and deliberate alienation from others.

The road was not very wide, and many people were walking side by side. Only the space around Tang Qingqing was empty.

Tang Qingqing clearly felt that some people were talking about her behind her back.

Tang Xiaoxiao was obviously more reserved than when she was in the classroom, and she wanted to curl herself up into a small ball.

Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and asked, "Xiaoxiao, did anyone say something about me?"

Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word. Tang Qingqing didn't want to make things difficult for her and didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Xiaoxiao felt bad about it, and it wasn't a secret, so she said honestly:

"Everyone thinks you bullied Tang Zhenzhen, so they think you are not a good person."

Tang Xiaoxiao kept an eye on the surroundings from time to time, and kept her voice low. When she saw that no one was around, she continued:

"Tang Zhenzhen is a flower in our factory compound. Many boys like her. There are many girls around her, like a small group. Everyone thinks she is being bullied, so they think you are not a good person."

"But not everyone thinks this way. After all, everyone thinks you are too unlucky. It is normal for people to have resentment and dissatisfaction towards her. It's just that they are timid and don't want to cause trouble, so they dare not stand up."

Tang Qingqing grasped the point: "That small group often bullies others?"

Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't hide the bitterness on her face: "Anyway, if you don't get along with them, it will be hard to stay in the compound."

Although Tang Zhenzhen joined the art troupe early, her status did not change. In fact, because she had a good future, everyone envied her even more.

After joining the art troupe, Tang Zhenzhen had more reasons to dress up. She became more and more beautiful and more popular.

The boys admired her beauty and worshipped her as a goddess.

Girls want to imitate her, learn from her, and become more and more beautiful like her.

They got together to form a small group, and half of the people who went to catch the thief before were the core members of this small group.

They all praised Tang Zhenzhen, so they did whatever she said. Some boys almost made mistakes because they wanted to be in the spotlight too much.

這些人也是機械廠甚至附近最為時髦的一群人，他們經過唐珍珍的出手改造，一個比一個時髦。

雖然都壓不過唐珍珍，可也足以在外面顯擺了。

開放以後，大家越來越放開對美的追求，從前都是一個顏色，一個類型的衣服，現在大家已經不滿足于此了。

可封閉了這麽多年，想要穿些時髦的衣服，都沒有地方買。

扯布找裁縫，裁縫也都是那老幾套。

可是唐珍珍不一樣，她有很多千奇百怪的想法，平平無奇的布料也能通過設計煥發出新的光彩。

這使得圍在她身邊的年輕男女特別多，都希望能跟她一樣時髦又漂亮，彰顯個性。

不過，大院子弟人數不少，也不是吃唐珍珍這一套。

有些人看不慣她太過張揚，每天就想着怎麽打扮，太不符合艱苦樸素的精神。

若是誰敢說一句不好，回頭被小團體的其他成員知道了，就會把人給堵了。

這也使得沒人敢說唐珍珍一句不是，完全惹不起。

唐青青聽着不禁皺眉，在書裏女主角身邊也确實圍了不少人，大家關系特別地好，而且以她為中心。

不過由于整本書更多的筆墨在于女主的婚後生活，因此着墨不多，只是在女主遇到問題的時候，總能有人出現幫忙，其中一部分人是女主在機械廠的好朋友，因此會提上幾句。

現在看來，替換後的唐珍珍也同樣有一群朋友在身邊圍着，只不過要比書中描述的霸道得多。

湯小小雖然說得隐晦，可唐青青經歷過那麽多的案子，一下就嗅到了不尋常的味道。

“唐珍珍有沒有參與？”

湯小小搖搖頭：“她一直勸大家不要使用暴力，只是喜歡她的人太瘋魔了，聽不得別人說一句不好。有時候其實也沒說不好，不過是對比一下，他們也完全聽不得。”

比如有人不過順嘴說一句，“你的頭發好漂亮，比唐珍珍的發質還要好。”

若是被那些人知道，肯定會上去教訓。

“之前我有個朋友，還因此被剃了頭。”

湯小小低着頭，整個人十分地難過。

湯小小長胖以後身邊就沒有什麽朋友了，大家都覺得她胖不好看，都不願意跟她玩，擔心跟她是好朋友會被人恥笑。

唐珍珍說過：“世界上沒有醜女人，只有懶女人。”

不僅是女孩，男孩也一樣。

若是長得胖長得醜肯定就是不夠努力，做人不夠積極，才會縱容自己的堕落。

湯小小那麽胖，也就意味着她不自重自愛，這樣的人誰樂意交往？

那個朋友是湯小小為數不多願意理她的人，可惜自從被強迫去剃頭之後，她就越來越內向，不願意出門。

原本約定一起上高中的，那個朋友也已經放棄，現在她的父母已經給她張羅結婚的事了。

唐青青聽到這裏非常的憤怒：“這都什麽跟什麽啊，你胖是因為你生病，又不是你想的。再說了，吃胖的又怎麽了，吃他們家大米了嗎！”

“青青……你，你真的這麽想？”

湯小小喉嚨酸澀，眼眶直接紅了，裏面充盈着淚珠。

“愛美之心人皆有之，追求美這本身沒什麽錯。但是借此去攻擊別人，把追求美當成鑒定一個人的唯一标準，那就有問題了，你別聽他們忽悠！”

湯小小連連點頭，“就像你一樣厲害，連施展都跟你道歉了。”

唐青青想起施展，也感到一言難盡。

“就沒有人管管嗎？”

因為別人的一句話，就把無辜的人的頭發給剪了，這個行為也太惡劣了！

很多女孩子非常珍惜自己的頭發，而且這種被強迫的事，誰經歷了也會留下陰影。

湯小小看了她一眼，苦笑起來。

唐青青一看就明白了，能成天琢磨怎麽變美，且有能力實現的人，家裏必然不會太差，父母在廠子裏應該都是有些地位或者技術的。

加之唐珍珍是廠長千金，誰又敢去招惹？

興許自己的父母就是對方父母手底下的工人，若是因此結怨，回頭領導給穿小鞋，一家子生計怕都出問題。

不過是頭發而已，對方剪了也沒拿走，還幫人拿去賣了換了不少錢，誰能指責什麽？

眼看就要到家，湯小小估摸覺得自己說太多了，擔心自己的話影響了唐青青，道：

“其實珍珍是個很好的女孩，經常給那些被欺負的人出頭。就是她身邊的人太多了，所以有人狐假虎威。”

唐青青只是笑笑，并沒有說些什麽。

她并不相信這個說法，別人興許有可能是不察，唐珍珍卻絕不是。

若她真的是那種疾惡如仇的人，身邊的人又怎麽會這麽放縱自己的行為？

那些人都很喜歡甚至崇拜她，她的表态能直接影響他們的決定。

唐青青回到家，就看到蘇蓉穿着圍裙熱情地迎了上來。

蘇蓉雖然也有工作，但是她的工作并不忙，只需要簽簽字就行。

她的辦公室距離家裏又比較近，而且她是主席，遲到早退也沒人敢說什麽，因此每次她都能早早下班。

大家放學、下班回來時，蘇蓉把飯菜都快做好了。

“青青，今天上學感覺怎麽樣？習不習慣啊？有沒有交到朋友？”

唐青青：“都挺好的。”

“那就好那就好。”蘇蓉看她一副不想多說的樣子，心中很是忐忑，她連忙解釋道：

“你爸爸那人就是死腦筋，我讓他去給校長說，讓你去一班，可他就是不樂意。他這人就是這樣，生怕別人說他不講原則，對誰都這樣。青青，你別怪你爸，他不是不疼你，就是太講原則了。”

依照唐青青的身份，只要打個招呼就能輕松進入最優秀，師資能力也是最強的一班，可唐建國并沒有這麽做。

現在廠高中校長也不是個圓滑的人，沒人打招呼那就按照規矩辦事，不會暗搓搓的去讨好。

于是，唐青青這種小地方來的，成績不能作數的新生，就被安排到了九班和十班。

學校的初衷倒也不是想要放棄差生，而是針對不同學生用不同的教育方式。

差生基礎差，就得從基礎講起，優等生學得好，就會教得快和深，硬是湊一起很容易造成課程對一些人過于簡單，又或者過于難。

只是不管初衷怎麽樣，後續很容易變成現在的樣子。

快班師資力量強，大部分學生的學習主動性也更強，于是成績越來越好。

反觀後進班，不少學生都是懶散的，互相影響就越來越差了，導致誰都不想進。

唐青青對此并不在意，她聽過翟弘毅給她講的課，很清楚公社初中的教學質量是不怎麽好的。

比如這裏的初中都已經開始學習英語，為高考英語考試做準備。

可公社初中現在還是沒有開設英語課，基礎就要比大城市裏的孩子要弱，未來若是要進行高考，這方面就吃了虧。

唐青青在這樣的條件下，依然能夠獲得不錯的成績，她覺得只要自己足夠主動和努力，是可以克服外界的影響的。

聽不懂的，下課多學多問，總能弄清楚。

而且班級也不是固定的，後續還會根據成績進行調整。

唐青青也并不覺得唐建國這樣做有什麽不對，堅持原則沒什麽不好。

唐建國不是個好父親，但是在工作上的嚴謹态度，她還是很欣賞的。

根據書上的只字片語，唐青青知道未來有不少像唐建國這樣的人為了一己之私，成為了國家的蛀蟲，害很多普通員工窮困潦倒。

唐青青希望唐建國能一直守住原則，如同書中所說的那樣，帶着工人們扛過去，在新的游戲規則中屹立不倒。

“這樣挺好的啊，堅持原則，本不應該因為私利胡來，我也更願意也靠自己的能力考入前面的班級。”

蘇蓉聽了很是欣慰，卻又不免心疼。

要是唐青青一直養在身邊，又怎麽會凡事都想要靠自己？

不就是從前遇到事的時候，沒有人幫忙沒有人依靠，這些過往刻在她的心裏，所以才練成了現在要強性子，習慣了什麽都靠自己去争取。

“青青，你其實不用這麽要強，不用這麽辛苦，有爸媽在呢。”

唐青青歪了歪腦袋，不解道：“這怎麽是要強和辛苦呢？人不就是該靠自己的雙手拼未來嗎？”

“女孩子不用這樣辛苦，那些都是男人該去想的事，咱們女人只要照顧好家庭就行。找個輕省的活，然後再找個好男人嫁了……”

“打住，我不贊同你的這個觀念，我也不想聽這些。”

蘇蓉到嘴邊的話硬是被壓了下去，她感受到唐青青的不耐煩，不想把關系鬧得太僵。

唐青青才剛回來，她還是得順着才行。

“好好，媽不說這些了。媽其實就是想知道，有我和你爸，你不用太辛苦和操心，我們可以為你安排好一切。”

唐青青這次沒回應，她知道自己說什麽也不會改變蘇蓉的觀念的。

Although she has received education, her thinking is still stuck in the past and she cannot understand the truth that women can hold up half the sky.

Although Su Rong also has a job, due to her special status, she can just drink tea and read newspapers every day to get by.

These benefits were brought by Tang Jianguo. Without Tang Jianguo, she would not be so comfortable now. She would have to do a lot of tedious work every day like other women, which also deepened her concept of "the most important thing for a woman to marry a good man, it is better to marry well than to work well."

Therefore, it is meaningless to waste words. Su Rong will only think that she grew up in the countryside and has no knowledge. Besides, she is a child and will not take her ideas seriously.

This is also the case in the book, but because of her upbringing, she is not averse to such ideas.

So most of the time, I just followed my parents' arrangements and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But now that she is a bystander, she cannot agree with it.

Today is Tang Qingqing's first day of school, a memorable day, as her two brothers, who are both busy with work, have both returned.

I haven't seen Brother Tang for a while. His beard is untidy, his eye sockets are sunken, and there is darkness under his eyes. It can be seen how busy he has been during this period.

Su Rong felt sorry for him when she saw him like this: "No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health! Look at how thin you have become!"

Brother Tang smiled and said, "Mom, we are almost there, we can take a break now."

Su Rong felt even more distressed seeing him like this, and slapped Tang Jianguo in annoyance.

"Look at what you've done to your son!"

Tang Jianguo disagreed: "To do your job, you have to use all your strength, otherwise our country would not be where it is today. This little bit of hard work is nothing, think about the past when we..."

"Stop, stop, stop. You've been nagging about this for years. Today is a rare day when the whole family is together. Let's eat quickly."

Brother Tang looked at Tang Qingqing and took out a metal pencil case from his pocket.

This metal pencil case is different from the ones sold outside. It is not painted on the surface and is very simple.

Tang Qingqing was surprised, because this pencil case was also given to 'her' by Brother Tang in the book.

Don’t be fooled by the simple appearance of the metal pencil case, a lot of thought has gone into its design.

The pencil case has two layers. You don't have to remove the upper iron plate. Instead, once you open the first layer, it will automatically lift up, so the pens in the pencil case can be seen at a glance.

This kind of design is very unusual nowadays, as most pencil cases have only one layer.

And not everyone can buy it. Many people just sew one out of cloth, or even don't have a pencil case at all.

When Tang Zhenzhen saw the pencil case, her expression suddenly changed.

"Brother, why haven't you done this for me?"

She had never thought of this plot before, so she didn't care that it wasn't done. After all, there were many differences between her and the original heroine.

But now, the plot has been strangely overlapped, and the protagonist is not her!

This is a scene that happened several years ago, but it is happening again now.

Tang Zhenzhen was so surprised that her tone was not very good.

Feeling everyone's strange looks, she quickly calmed down, pouted her lips and blinked her eyes and said, "I want it too."

Brother Tang smiled and said, "Didn't I make a hairpin for you before? I thought you would like these things more, but I didn't make them well."

Brother Tang has the ability, but he is not good at judging aesthetics.

This pencil case is not good-looking at all, but the most important function of a pencil case is to be practical, so that’s it.

Hairpins are different. At least for Tang Zhenzhen, they are purely decorative.

There is no way Tang Zhenzhen would put an ugly iron lump on her head unless she is crazy.

But Tang Zhenzhen was still not satisfied with the answer, but she didn't know how to say anything because the looks of others had obviously changed a little.

She looked like she couldn't stand seeing Tang Qingqing being pampered. She wasn't interested in such an ugly thing, so there was no reason for her to ruin her image.

"Sister, please open it and take a look. Don't think it looks ugly. I will wrap it up for you later."

"I think it's very beautiful." Tang Qingqing said calmly. As she opened the toy box, she thanked Brother Tang: "Thank you, Brother. I like your gift very much."

Brother Tang is so busy, but he still takes time to do these things, which shows how much he values ​​his sister.

Brother Tang shook his head in embarrassment: "As long as you like it, I'll try to get a prettier one next time."

“This is already very good.”

Tang Erge also had a gift. He gave Tang Qingqing a pen.

"I know you already have one. You can change the ink color of the extra one to make it easier for you to take notes and highlight important points."

"Thank you, brother."

Tang Jixue couldn't help but complain: "Why are you guys like this? You didn't even tell me in advance that you were going to prepare gifts!"

Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "Third brother, there is no need to prepare a gift for me. I am just going to school."

"Who said no!" Tang Jixue rummaged in his pocket and took out a watch. "Fortunately I'm prepared, otherwise I would be embarrassed!"

Before Tang Qingqing could say anything, Tang Jianguo's face darkened, and he slammed the table and scolded:

"Tang Jixue! Where did you get this watch?"
