Wednesday, August 5th, was a sunny day, the first day of school after summer vacation.
After breakfast, Zhang Xudong rode the bicycle whose tire he had punctured to pick up He Jingxian for school.
He will be He Jingxian's full-time driver from now on.
The primary school for children of the machinery factory where his younger sister Zhang Xiyan attended was not far from home. Zhang Xudong gave the task of taking his younger sister to school to his grandmother, so that the old lady would not get sick from idleness.
Zhang Xudong had just carried He Jingxian into the school gate when he heard someone calling him.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, why did you bring the big sister with you? Did you succeed?"
Zhang Xudong stopped the car, put one foot on the ground and turned his head to see that it was Han Baojun, Wang Yujun and Qin Zhijun, the three bad friends of the original owner, standing not far away and looking at him.
"Why are you calling her 'Big Sister'? That's too rude. From now on, remember to call her 'Sister-in-law' or 'Dong's Wife'. Can you three come over here? It's okay. From now on, just call her 'Sister-in-law' and she won't beat you up."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, the three armies looked at each other in disbelief, but still walked over slowly.
"Brother Dong, are you sure what you said is true? You didn't get beaten so hard that you lost your mind, did you? Would the big sister be interested in a little guy like you?"
Wang Yujun looked at He Jingxian and said cautiously.
"Brother Dong, I'm going into the classroom first. Your seat is next to me. Don't sit with them in the future."
He Jingxian ignored the three guys. After getting off the back rack of the car, she called Zhang Xudong "Brother Dong" out of respect, said a few words, and then slowly walked towards the classroom.
"Please put the car in the carport and lock it up. Your sister-in-law is still injured and hasn't recovered yet. I have to go take care of her."
When Zhang Xudong saw He Jingxian leave by herself, he realized that this was unacceptable!
He put the handlebars in Wang Yujun's hand, left a word, and ran to catch up with He Jingxian. He carried her on his back without caring and walked towards the classroom.
"Zhang Xudong, I can walk. Put me down now. There are so many people watching me. I don't even want to lose face."
He Jingxian blushed rarely and said while pinching Zhang Xudong's waist.
"I'm just letting you declare your sovereignty, so that those flowers, grass, butterflies and so on won't come to harass us in the future." Zhang Xudong said with a grin.
Wang Yujun and the other two stared at Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian as they left, with a thousand camels and sheep racing through their minds.
Is this still the ruffian Zhang Xudong? This is just a lackey.
Is this still the He Huniu who hits with her hands and kicks with her legs? She looks like a beautiful girl from a small family.
It’s just a summer vacation, how come the world has changed so much?
A ruffian and a tiger girl got together, will they ever have a peaceful life in the future?
Zhang Xudong didn't care what others thought and went into the classroom with He Jingxian on his back. This shocked everyone in the classroom.
Nowadays, when a young couple walks on the street, they have to keep a distance of two people between them. Even holding hands is embarrassing. How did these two get so close?
However, no boy is jealous of Zhang Xudong. This job is not easy and there is a risk of being beaten and crippled.
Most girls sympathized with Zhang Xudong. This idiot was finally beaten into a hunchback.
Zhang Xudong put He Jingxian in his previous seat, and then sat in the seat of his former deskmate Qin Zhijun.
As for where Qin Zhijun would sit later, Zhang Xudong didn't even think about it, as this was not within his scope of business.
"Zhang Xudong, why do you want me to sit here? It's too remote here, I can't even see the blackboard." He Jingxian objected.
"You silly girl, think about it, don't you have the knowledge you are learning now?
Apart from politics, which we have to memorize, do we need teachers to teach other courses?
Not to mention middle school knowledge, even university knowledge, I dare say I know more than today's professors.
We're just here for show. It's nice to sit here, no one's paying attention, and do whatever you want," Zhang Xudong explained to He Jingxian.
He Jingxian thought about it and realized that what she was learning in middle school was very different from the knowledge she remembered, so she just followed Zhang Xudong's lead.
"Zhang Xudong, please go aside first. I want to talk to Sister Jing for a few words."
Zhang Xudong had just finished packing his things when he was pushed aside by He Jingxian's former deskmate Guo Xianghong.
Guo Xianghong is the daughter of Captain Guo. She is three months younger than He Jingxian. Although she is not as aggressive as He Jingxian, she is also a person who dares to speak and act.
"Sister Jing, my dad told me yesterday that you were engaged and asked me when someone would want you. Isn't that infuriating?
I went to your house to look for you. Your aunt said that this kid took you out to play. Where did you go?
Why didn't you call me? That's really mean of you. I even beat him up for you before."
"Xiaohong, we went into the mountains yesterday. It was too dangerous, so we left you alone.
Don't ever say you beat up Zhang Xudong again, that's too embarrassing. He was just letting you go and didn't fight back.
"Haven't you heard Uncle Guo say that Zhang Xudong can even beat a scout?"
He Jingxian was whispering to Guo Xianghong.
Zhang Xudong stood by and looked around the classroom. Most of the students should have arrived.
Since we all started studying together in the first grade of junior high school, there has not been any major changes in this class.
The only thing I am not sure about is that after each new semester begins, I don’t know how many classmates will never come back here.
Especially the female classmates, none of them came to school because they came from rural areas. The few girls left in the class also had parents with relatively good jobs in the city.
In this era, girls aged fifteen or sixteen can work or get married.
Anyway, I can't just eat for free and become a burden to the family.
It was the first day of school, and there wasn't much to do in the morning. The teacher was the same, and the homeroom teacher was the same. So there was no getting-together phase.
They simply gave us new books and reshuffled the seats. As for summer homework, the head teacher only mentioned it but didn't check it.
Pens and notebooks are very precious nowadays, and the teacher knows that few people will do their homework in notebooks.
The whole morning was in chaos and I don't know what happened.
After school, Zhang Xudong went to the carport to get his bicycle, picked up He Jingxian directly at the classroom door, and went back home.
The food at home is still better. Zhang Xudong can't bear to let He Jingxian go back and eat steamed buns.
Besides, if He Jingxian eats here, it can save some food rations for her family, allowing Captain He and his wife to have a few more bites to eat.
Grandma prepared a room for He Jingxian in the west room so that she could rest after lunch.
Zhang Xiyan didn't sleep with her grandma at noon. She hugged the little fox and took her two puppies with her to stay with He Jingxian.
The food was delicious and there were people and animals to keep her company, so He Jingxian felt much more comfortable here than at home.
