Chapter 63 The New Year Begins
Chapter 64: The New Year Begins
1992 is a brand new year.
This year, the country implemented many policies. As the economic situation became better and better, Jingtan County also began to encourage individual business operations. For a time, various small shops could be seen everywhere. As the economic situation improved, prices gradually rebounded, and people's average wages also gradually increased.
After the New Year, Fang's father was transferred back to the county from the countryside and stayed at the Water Conservancy Bureau.
The Fang family's restaurant was officially transferred to Fang Qing's uncle's family after the Chinese New Year. Now, the uncle's family is running the business more and more smoothly, and their lives are gradually getting better.
The other branches of the Fang family were also very quiet.
My eldest aunt seems to still be playing with the stock market. I heard that she made a lot of money this time and is going to the province to buy a house for Sister Mimi.
Old Mrs. Fang and my aunt have been very well behaved lately and haven't caused any trouble, but it was still unpleasant when they met.
When the uncle found out his girlfriend was with someone else, although he was angry, he did not pick a fight with her like he did in his previous life. Instead, he drank alone at Fang Qing's house and went out to deliver goods with Boss Wang the next day. He vowed to make a lot of money and give that gold-digger a slap in the face.
My aunt gave birth to a big fat boy after the Chinese New Year, which was the happiest thing for the whole family. Fang Qing happily made a lot of doll clothes for his little nephew, and my aunt loved them very much.
After the Chinese New Year, Teacher Qiu came to the Fang family with a bunch of things. The man named Qiu Dahai pushed Teacher Qiu to thank the Fang family for taking care of him over the past year.
Then, Teacher Qiu held Fang Qing's hand with tears in his eyes, "Qingqing, I am old now, and I am a little scared after what happened, so I plan to go to the south with my nephew Dahai to retire."
Fang Qing was filled with emotion when she heard the news. She was happy that her teacher would have someone to take care of her in the future, but she was also sad that the person she trusted so hard to trust would have to be separated again.
Fang Qing looked at Teacher Qiu's white hair and felt distressed. "Teacher, thank you for all the education you have given me for so long. I will study hard, and you should also take good care of yourself. When I have made it, I will definitely come to you."
Teacher Qiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and patted Fang Qing's hand happily, "Okay, teacher, I'll wait."
The two talked reluctantly for a long time. Finally, Qiu Dahai frowned and reminded them that time was almost up. Only then did Teacher Qiu wipe his tears and say goodbye to everyone.
Teacher Qiu pointed to the box on the ground and said, "I don't have anything valuable to leave you. These are some of my previous experience in painting, and some paint. I don't have the energy to paint anymore, so I'll leave them all to you..."
Teacher Qiu passed away, before the cherry blossoms bloomed, and headed for the warm south on a long green train.
Fang Qing held the notes left by Teacher Qiu and watched the teacher leave. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would achieve success in his studies and reunite with Teacher Qiu in the future.
…
After the spring, Fang Qing applied to live on campus again because of his tight study schedule. Firstly for safety, and secondly to save time.
In March, peach blossoms bloom one by one on the campus of No. 1 Middle School. After class, students either sit under the trees to enjoy the spring scenery or gather in groups of three or two in the square.
The school is going to hold a spring sports meeting soon, and each class encourages students to sign up actively, but the students are too lazy to participate. They would rather read an illustrated novel if they have that much time.
Looking at the few names on the registration book, Sports Committee Member Zhang Haiyan was worried that she would not be able to complete the task, so she turned around and set her sights on her good friends.
After some very polite concessions, Fang Qing was finally allowed by Zhang Haiyan to grab the collar and hold the hands, and sign up for the 1500-meter long-distance race and long jump.
Seeing Fang Qing's worried face, Zhang Haiyan volunteered to be her coach, "Don't worry, with me here, even a blind bear can jump very far."
So, Fang Qing shortened his rest time and went to the playground every day to practice with Zhang Haiyan.
1500 meters was not a big deal. Fang Qing usually did night running after evening self-study. He was already used to running, so this was not difficult to complete.
But this long jump is a bit difficult.
Fang Qing watched Zhang Haiyan rush out like an arrow, and then bounce and fall into the sand pit in the distance. Her movements were smooth and handsome.
Fang Qing clapped his hands in admiration, and then, under everyone's encouraging gazes, he also imitated Zhang Haiyan and began to run faster, then bounced and strided...
He stood steadily outside the sand pit.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hey, Fang Qing, you didn't even hit the pit, you can be eliminated without the preliminaries..."
Fang Qing was also a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't jump well on purpose, but her athletic ability was weak and she couldn't grasp the key points of the triple jump.
But the registration form had already been submitted, so she could only grit her teeth and practice every day.
Zhang Haiyan had a field training that day, so Fang Qing was left alone practicing on the playground.
A group of teenagers came from a nearby distance, first doing some lap training, and then starting a game on the basketball court.
Perhaps it was because Fang Qing's movements were too clumsy and funny, and the students passing by would glance in her direction.
Zhang Mingyu, who was playing basketball, saw his teammates distracted, so he immediately threw the ball and asked everyone to do fifty push-ups on the spot.
"If you don't pay attention during practice, how are you going to play in the future? Fifty push-ups each. This will teach you a lesson. Start the timer!"
The team members did not dare to complain and kept their heads down while doing push-ups. Zhang Mingyu then looked at the somewhat lonely girl not far away.
Zhang Mingyu looked at the man's clumsy figure and felt that he seemed familiar. As he was looking at him with a frown, he noticed that a team member behind him climbed up.
"Boss, have you noticed that girl too? I heard she's the most beautiful girl in the second year of high school, and seems to be a top student. But I heard she's too cold-hearted, and many people wanted to pursue her before, but all failed. Are you interested too?"
Zhang Mingyu sighed, and without even turning his head, he elbowed the person behind him in the stomach, "I think fifty is too little for you, so I'll give you another fifty."
"No, no, no, I'm going to practice basketball, boss, you take a rest." After saying that, the boy picked up the ball and ran away, fearing that the boss would punish him again.
Zhang Mingyu sighed. Although he didn't like what his teammate had just said, he couldn't help but look in that direction. But when he looked again, the figure was gone.
“It runs pretty fast.”
But finding someone was very easy for Zhang Mingyu. He only had to instruct his team members to look for a cool and beautiful female student in each class of the second year of high school, and then wait for news.
There is strength in numbers, and the name Fang Qing soon appeared on his desk.
"Fang Qing, so your name is Fang Qing..."
During the break, Wang Xuefei pestered Fang Qing to play badminton with her in order to lose weight.
The snow-white badminton was flying under the blue sky. The two played more and more fiercely. Suddenly, Fang Qing made a smash, but Wang Xuefei failed to catch it. The ball flew far away and fell directly at the feet of a group of boys.
The boy bent down, picked up the badminton with his slender fingers, and looked at Fang Qing in the distance with his bright eyes, "Long time no see, Fang Qing."
