"Aunt, just take a bath in this yard! I'll find you some clothes to change into."
My mother seems to have a few clothes here, but they are for spring.
"No need to change, no need to change, I just need to take a shower."
Zhou Xiang didn't force it. After changing into new clothes, she might get beaten again when she got home.
I put a mat and a thin mattress on the newly bought bed, then covered it with a bed sheet and a sheet as a cover.
When Zhao Hedi came in after taking a shower, she saw the new sheets and wanted to tear them off. "I can just sleep on the mat. Why put new sheets? It's a waste. If they get dirty, I have to wash them."
Zhou wanted to hold her hand down, "It's okay. New sheets always have to be used for the first time. If they get dirty, just wash them. Don't pull them off."
Hearing Zhou Xiang's insistence, Zhao Hedi gave up and said, "Okay, no more nonsense, I'll sleep on new sheets for once."
Zhou Xiang just felt sad. This capable and pitiful woman worked hard all her life, but had the worst food, clothing and other necessities.
"Go to sleep! If you feel cold, there's a sheet next to your pillow to cover it."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go to sleep!"
After she groped her way onto the bed, Zhou Xiang turned off the light.
The next day, Zhao Hedi got up before dawn.
Zhou Xiang opened his eyes and asked, "Aunt, why are you up so early?"
"I got up and cooked, and I have to go to the station early to catch the bus!"
"Okay! I'll get up too. After dinner, I'll ride my bike to take you to the station."
"You can't carry me, I'll walk there by myself."
"Then take the donkey cart. I won't feel relieved until I drop you off at the station."
"Not only does it cost money, but you still have to go to school."
"Don't worry, you won't necessarily attend class today even if you pick up the books."
Zhao Hedi is a gentle person by nature. If others are a bit tough, she can't refuse and can only follow their arrangements.
After making breakfast, the two of them ate first. Zhou Xiang left a note, put on his backpack, and went to the station with his aunt.
After leaving the yard of the Water Conservancy Bureau and walking onto the main road, I saw donkey carts coming out to pick up work.
After hailing a bus, it only took more than ten minutes to get to the station. Zhao Hedi sighed, "If I had to walk, it would have taken me an hour."
"Of course, you always go the wrong way! Go in! You should be able to catch the first bus to Hao Town."
"Hey! Good!"
Zhou Xiang took her to the ticket window to buy tickets, and the bus was about to depart in fifteen minutes.
I quickly took her to check the tickets and only after I spoke to the ticket inspector did she allow him to help the person get on the train.
After getting on the car, I found a seat for my aunt-in-law to sit down, and told the driver that there was a bus stop at the Zhoujia Village intersection. Only then did I get off the car with peace of mind and leave.
Seeing that she was taking care of everything, Zhao Hedi was afraid that she would get lost again. A warm feeling flowed through her heart and her eyes began to moisten again. But then she thought of her words of comfort and held back her tears.
I still need to see more of the world!
However, when he touched the rolled handkerchief in his pocket and quietly opened it, he saw a ten-dollar bill inside, and he couldn't hold back his tears.
When Zhou thought of going to school, the bell had already rung. She was not worried and walked slowly towards the third building.
At the podium of Class 1, Grade 7, Ran Qiming was looking at the roster, not knowing whether he should call the roll. Zhou Xiang had obviously not arrived yet. The time from the preparatory bell to the class bell was three minutes, and now it had already been ten minutes past the bell. It would be unreasonable not to call the roll.
However, the first name was hers, and the roster was filled out according to the ranking.
The students below started to discuss. Teacher Ran had already been talking about the discipline for ten minutes. Shouldn't he call the roll next?
There are also books to be distributed, desks to be arranged, and class leaders to be selected. There are so many things to do, but Teacher Ran is not in a hurry?
Teacher Ran, who was not in a hurry, finally decided to take the roll call as he could not delay any longer.
"Now we'll start the roll call. When your name is called, just answer 'yes'. Zhou Xiang!"
"arrive!"
Ran Qiming and more than 50 students in the class looked towards the classroom door, where a thin girl was standing.
With a student-like hairstyle, big eyes and a small mouth, most of the students in the class were shouting in their hearts: How cute!
Ran Qiming felt relieved, but he couldn't just let her in. Shouldn't she be punished for being late? Otherwise, the students would follow his example, and how could he manage her?
“You’re late!”
"I don't!"
"The school bell has already rung."
"You didn't say you had classes today. You just said you were going to get your books. The bell means you're in class."
Ran Qiming only felt his temples throbbing.
"You must also obey the time when you collect books and return to the classroom when the bell rings."
"Then why are you still calling the roll? If I say 'here', doesn't it count? Roll call is done after the bell rings, and it's marked for lateness, early departure, and absence. Are you going to mark me as late? Early departure and absence definitely don't match the current situation."
Oh shit, what’s going on?
The students in the class were so shocked by what they saw that they began to doubt their lives. Zhou Xiang, the first place winner, was well-known to everyone, but no one expected her to be such a weak little girl.
However, what no one expected was that she actually dared to confront the head teacher. Shouldn’t students be afraid of their teachers?
But what she said made sense! It was the teacher who called the roll late.
Ran Qiming wanted to mark her as late, but wasn’t it him who was late and didn’t call the roll?
If I didn't mark her for being late and she talked back to me like that, I could imagine it would be difficult for me to maintain my authority as the class teacher in the future.
"Okay! You're not late today. From now on, all students, when roll call is called, you must answer 'here' at the classroom door at the latest. You can't answer outside the classroom, on the road, or on the playground. Even if you have sharp ears and a loud voice that everyone in the school can hear, I will still count you as late. Do you understand?"
The students were amused by the scene he described. The playground was just behind the building, and if they spoke loudly, they could indeed hear it.
"Understood!"
"Okay, Zhou wants to find a seat first, and take the roll call for the back row."
Zhou Xiang took a casual glance and walked to the last row of boys and sat down. It was the only empty seat.
After Ran Qiming quickly called the roll, he told everyone to leave the classroom. "Everyone, go outside the classroom. Boys and girls, line up in two rows each."
Zhou Xiang stood up and walked out of the classroom without taking off his backpack.
Some people envy her backpack, some people are jealous of her backpack, such as Wan Jing. Maybe Zhou Xiang doesn't recognize her anymore, but she can't forget that Zhou Xiang made her unable to participate in last year's municipal and provincial competitions.
Because of her, Ma Shasha went to Shanghai to study early, but this year her mother gave her her household registration back in the city, and she has become an official Shanghai resident and student.
I heard that she is living well with her grandfather, and she said that she will never forget this hatred in her life!
This year I was preparing for the junior high school graduation exam. Who knew that Zhou Xiang didn't participate in this year's primary school competition. The town primary school is still a five-year system. If she doesn't prepare hard, it will definitely be difficult for her to maintain her full score. Haha, I wonder if you can maintain it in junior high school?
