Chapter 24 Not a Kind-Hearted Person
"Staring at men, how shameless." Tang Limei muttered with disdain.
Liu Zhengju, who was sitting in front, turned her head and glanced at her with a somewhat ugly expression.
Tang Limei immediately defended herself: "I didn't say anything about you, don't misunderstand me."
Liu Zhengju ignored him.
In the early 1980s, not every school had a uniform.
Moreover, the styles of school uniforms vary greatly from school to school.
There are the military green uniforms of the previous generation, the blue shirts and black skirts similar to the school uniforms of the Republic of China, the improved version of the navy uniforms, and the workers' uniforms of white shirts and blue pants like the ones worn by No. 1 Middle School.
Except for flag-raising on Mondays and special events, the school does not require students to wear uniforms, but many students' daily clothes are not much different from work clothes. The colors are mostly simple black, gray, blue and white, and the styles are also conservative and simple.
Tang Xueli was wearing a sky blue short-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants with white vertical stripes.
Among students, it is not a special outfit, but it suits her style and temperament very well and still looks good.
And the most important thing is that it is easy and comfortable to wear and will not give you any sense of burden.
How to dress is a personal freedom.
Frankly speaking, putting aside other factors, she felt that there was nothing wrong with Tang Limei's outfit.
In fact, it is really beautiful.
During the break, several female classmates came over to chat with Tang Limei.
"Your skirt is so beautiful. Was it made at a tailor shop?"
Tang Limei: "No, my mother made it for me."
Tang Xueli: "..."
I tell lies without thinking.
Jia Zhenzhen has no time to make clothes at all.
Tang Limei's outfit was all made by Sister Caifeng from the slum.
"Your mother has such skillful hands, her stitches are so detailed."
"I heard that you were a good student. It was really unfortunate that you got sick during the college entrance examination. Otherwise, you would have been a college student by now!"
"Your braid is loose. Let me help you tie it again. I know how to tie a pigtail."
"You are so nice, thank you so much." Tang Limei thanked her sweetly.
"She's your sister, right?"
Tang Xueli looks a bit aloof, speaks little, and rarely smiles at people. The girls don't dare to talk to her, so they only communicate with Tang Limei.
"Yes, she is my sister Tang Xueli." Tang Limei acted like a good elder sister and said, "She just came back from working in the countryside. She may not be able to keep up with her studies. I'll ask for your help in the future!"
"..." Tang Xueli tilted her head and glanced at Tang Limei.
Life is a drama!
People like Tang Limei are probably born actors.
"No problem, Tang Xueli, if you have any questions you can't solve, you can come to us. You don't have to be shy."
Tang Xueli: "..."
How does she look shy?
But after all, the other person meant well, so she couldn't just pretend she didn't hear it.
"Oh, thank you." He said it, but his attitude was not very enthusiastic.
Tang Xueli was not a good person to talk to, so they turned to Tang Limei.
"Limei, you are such a good sister."
Tang Limei smiled and said, "Don't say that. Isn't that what a sister should do?"
"The braids are done! How do you think they look?"
A tin pencil case was handed over. When it was opened, a small mirror was found inside.
Tang Limei took pictures from various angles and said, "You have such a skillful hand, you tied it so well, I love it so much!"
"As long as you like it, hey...there was a girl in our class who liked to tie her hair into pigtails..."
Seeing that the other person's tone suddenly became sad and he even stopped talking, he asked, "What's wrong? Is she not in our class now? Did she transfer to another school or class?"
Tang Xueli flipped through the textbooks she had just received and listened carefully to their chat.
"Xiu'er, don't talk about her. The school doesn't allow people to discuss this. If the class teacher hears about it, he should call the parents."
"Just invite me!" Huang Xiu was the female student who had just braided Tang Limei's hair. She said nonchalantly, "Why can't we discuss it? A living person disappeared. Don't you think it's strange? It's been several months. It's so scary!"
Tang Limei was shocked: "Disappeared?"
"Yes, Tian Xiaoyue suddenly disappeared last semester. It has been half a year now and we still haven't found her."
Huang Xiu and Tian Xiaoyue have a very good relationship. They used to do homework and go to and from school together.
Someone pulled Huang Xiu's arm and reminded her: "Xiu'er, keep your voice down!"
At this time, the bell rang and everyone immediately returned to their seats.
The head teacher came in and started to arrange for everyone to clean up.
After cleaning up the dust accumulated during the holiday, I will have nothing to do today.
Classes will officially start tomorrow.
Tang Limei couldn't work because of a leg injury, so she sat there waiting.
"Limei, hold your skirt, don't let it get dirty due to the water." Huang Xiu took the mop and prepared to mop the floor.
Tang Limei gathered up her skirt and said with a smile, "Xiu'er, you've worked hard. If my leg wasn't injured, I would have mopped the floor with you."
Huang Xiu said cheerfully: "It's okay. It's not tiring to do such a small job."
Tang Limei secretly gave Huang Xiu a piece of candy, "Here you go, this is the only piece left, don't tell anyone else."
Huang Xiu did not refuse and ate the candy: "Thank you! I will bring you some premium cookies tomorrow."
Liu Zhengju, who was cleaning the windows nearby, curled her lips.
She thought for a moment and said to Tang Limei, "Just sit there and wash the rag for me. It's too much trouble for me to go up and down."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Tang Limei rubbed her white hands that had never been touched by water. "My hands become allergic when they touch dirty water, and they get a lot of red bumps. How about you ask someone else for help? You can ask my sister, she's very helpful."
"Tang Xueli is also working, and you are the only one sitting idle." Liu Zhengju said with a straight face, "It's just washing a rag, the water isn't that dirty, just some sand and dirt, there's no need to grow lumps."
As soon as you hear it, you know it's an excuse for not wanting to work and not wanting to get involved in dirty work.
All the classmates are busy, why are you doing nothing?
Liu Zhengju was sure that Tang Limei's words "staring at men, how shameless" were referring to her, so she felt very unhappy.
Tang Limei forced herself to smile and said, "My hands are prone to pimples, please don't make things difficult for me!"
"How did I embarrass you?" Liu Zhengju said righteously, "The working people are the most glorious. People like you who are lazy and good at eating and working are a disgrace to the people!"
Tang Limei stopped smiling and started to curse: "Are you sick? Why are you putting accusations on others?"
"Not only will I put a hat on you, I will also put a dirty basin on you!"
After saying this, Liu Zhengju picked up the basin of water and poured it on Tang Limei's head.
“Ah!!! Aaaaaaaaa——”
Tang Limei's screams continued to echo in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3.
Tang Xueli was standing at the door wiping the door frame. She heard the noise and looked into the room, but did not move.
The next moment, the head teacher rushed in like an arrow from beside her.
"what happens?"
Cui Weishan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Tang Limei, "Wipe it off quickly, why are you all wet?"
"Teacher Cui..." Tang Limei sobbed and cried uncontrollably, unable to utter a complete sentence.
She felt like her whole body smelled like a stinky rag, it was so stinky.
At the classroom door, there was another person next to Tang Xueli.
"Isn't she your sister? Why don't you go in and take a look?"
"Teacher Yan." Tang Xueli called out, and then simply said, "No need to look."
Yan Shouzhen smiled and said, "It seems that you two sisters don't have a good relationship."
Tang Xueli did not comment, but asked back: "You are a teacher, why don't you go in and take a look?"
Yan Shouzhen followed Cui Weishan's figure at the back of the classroom, "Your class teacher has gone in, so I'm not needed."
Tang Xueli imitated Yan Shouzhen's tone and said, "It seems that Teacher Yan is not a warm-hearted person."
