"Yes, that's right, I was worried." Lu Yue was genuinely scared, but Zhang Hongmei's words reassured her. It wasn't that she completely trusted her, but she just needed someone to tell her what she was thinking.
"Zhang Hongmei, do you think I can get into the top class? I'm so worried."
"Hehe, you can do well on the test without being nervous."
"Yes, I'm not nervous."
Zhang Hongmei chuckled, recalling a famous line from a skit in her past life: "My name is Not Nervous."
"I was so nervous and you're still laughing?" Lu Yue gave Zhang Hongmei a coquettish glare.
"Hehe, sorry, I wasn't laughing at you, I just remembered a joke."
"Honestly, I think you're the least nervous person in our class."
"Haha, yes, my name is Not Nervous."
This girl seems pretty good now; maybe we can even become friends. Actually, of all the girls Zhang Hongmei likes, it's Xiao Jiang the most. She also has a pretty good feeling about this girl now.
"Hehe, it's so much more relaxing chatting with you. Otherwise, I would have been so nervous I almost cried."
The two exchanged a smile. The classroom was still noisy, mostly people talking about the upcoming exam, all of them worried. It would be too embarrassing if they were separated from Class 1.
Especially for middle-aged people, who have been working for a long time and are leaders at all levels, it's better if they are not in the same class, but it would be bad if they were eliminated.
The counselor led ten young men to carry back all the books, which were neatly arranged on the podium.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Now that we've received the books, let's distribute them as they are," a middle-aged man said, standing up.
Zhang Hongmei felt that such people were very active and trying to make their presence known.
No one objected, so the middle-aged man who made the suggestion volunteered to help distribute the books.
There were ten books in total. Zhang Hongmei looked them over after receiving them and found none were damaged, which saved her trouble.
The classroom immediately fell silent. Zhang Hongmei was impressed by this attitude towards learning; this was the true learning attitude of students in the capital city.
Zhang Hongmei also picked up an economic treatise, glanced through it, and felt it was a bit exaggerated. But she patiently read on and found the analysis to be quite good.
Professor Kong entered the classroom precisely at 1:30.
"Wow, our students have such a positive attitude towards learning! That's good. That's how it should be. Only those who know what they're doing can find a way out."
Now that the book presentation is over, let's start our own introductions, free to speak our minds and say whatever we want.
First, Professor Kong gave a brief introduction of himself, followed by the counselor, which was also very concise.
Then it was just starting with the first classmate. Actually, the boarding students had probably gotten to know their classmates by the time they got to know each other, so it was all very brief.
Kong Mingde sat in a chair, listening to everyone's introductions with a smile, while Chen Shuang stood to the side.
Although Zhang Hongmei was the last to arrive, she was not the last to introduce herself.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Hongmei. I hope to make progress together with you all on my future academic journey."
Kong Mingde smiled and said, "Good, well said. We should all make progress together. In the future, each of you will achieve something. We should help and support each other."
Now everyone knows that the professor favors the youngest girl. It's just too obvious.
Zhang Hongmei thought it was a good idea; with a professor protecting them, perhaps all sorts of troublemakers would behave themselves.
In the end, Zhang Hongmei discovered that none of the recommended candidates had revealed their work unit or position. Was this what it meant to be someone who had experience in officialdom?
Zhang Hongmei glanced at the time; it was already 3:30. Seeing Professor Kong leave, Zhang Hongmei also left her seat and found Chen Shuang, saying, "Counselor, I'm leaving now."
"Alright, you can go now."
Zhang Hongmei returned to her seat, tidied herself up, smiled at her classmates who were watching her, and then left the classroom.
I found my bicycle and rode home.
When I got home, I didn't see Huang Zhong. So I went to the kitchen to knead dough and make pancakes for Huang Zhong, since it was difficult to bring anything else.
Because I was in a hurry, I used boiling water to scald the dough for the pancakes today.
I cracked a few more eggs, then spread them into an egg pancake, and put it into a flatbread. That's how I made my own egg-filled flatbread.
All the preparations are done, but it's already 4:30. Is Huang Zhong not coming today?
Regardless, I'll make the pancakes first; even if they don't come, I still need to eat dinner.
Making pancakes is quite quick. As long as you're willing to use enough oil, you'll get a nice color and a golden-brown crust. This is because soybean oil is naturally yellow, unlike peanut oil. Although peanut oil is also yellow, the oil used for stir-frying or deep-frying is not actually yellow.
Six pancakes were made and placed on a bamboo steamer. Then, six egg pancakes were made. Each pancake was then split in half and the egg pancakes were placed inside.
That was it. After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhang Hongmei finally heard the knocking on the door she had been waiting for.
Zhang Hongmei excitedly ran to open the door. "Comrade Huang, I thought you weren't coming today!"
"I'm an hour late today. Don't worry, I come about once a week. You can ask at the post office. You did a great job this time."
"Comrade Huang, I'll have to trouble you again this time. I'd like to bring some things back to my hometown."
"No problem, hurry up and load it into the car, I have to leave right away today."
"Okay, I've packed it all, and I've labeled it with the recipients." After saying that, Zhang Hongmei went to the warehouse to start loading it onto the truck.
He then went back to his room, took out four letters, and handed them to Huang Zhong.
"Comrade Huang, this is a letter I wrote. I need to trouble you to deliver it to the high school and give it to Liu Erya, a first-year student."
"No problem. Don't worry, it will definitely be delivered. Is there anything else?"
"Yes. Wait a moment." After saying that, Zhang Hongmei first went to the storeroom to take out ten kilograms of rice that had been packed in advance, then went to the kitchen, wrapped four pancakes in packing paper, and handed them to Huang Zhong.
"Comrade Huang, this is imported rice. Take it back for your family to try. Also, here are some pancakes I just made; keep them for your journey."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I have to hurry, so I'll be going now."
Zhang Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Huang Zhong off; otherwise, she would have been constantly worried about him.
Only then did I feel like eating, but even just making pancakes and fried eggs felt a bit off, so I took out a cucumber from my spatial storage, and that was just right.
After finishing my meal and cleaning up, I happily went into my online space.
Now that I'm home alone, I feel much safer.
I took a nice hot shower and then laid out an electric blanket so I wouldn't wake up freezing in the middle of the night.
I got up at six o'clock the next morning, ate a seafood fried rice, drank a cup of hot milk, and rode my bike to school at six-thirty.
Actually, morning self-study starts at 7:15. I can't be late on the first day, can I? That would look too bad.
I arrived at school at 6:50. All the students were eating in the cafeteria. I was alone in the large classroom, and looking at the rows of desks and chairs in front of me, I felt quite at home.
