Chapter 37 Chapter 37 How is he better than me? !

Shen Moer raised her head from the book and looked sideways at Fu Mingze with a slightly surprised expression. She asked knowingly: "Fu Zhiqing, is there anything you need to apologize to me for yesterday?"

Fu Mingze choked, opened his mouth, and said after a while: "You took the trouble to buy a box for me. I shouldn't have refused and shouldn't have said those words. Sorry."

Shen Moer looked at his handsome eyebrows and slightly raised the corners of her lips, but her expression was nonchalant: "Oh, this matter, it's okay, my father likes that box very much, so he kept it for use."

Fu Mingze: "..." He

was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't say that he had been thinking about it all night, and suddenly regretted it and wanted that box again.

After all, she herself said that giving him something was not to keep a distance or sever ties with him. So, the box was bought by her with great effort and purely for him. Even if he didn't want her to pay for it, he could just take the thing and return the money to her.

Who would have thought that the box would have another owner just one day later?

Fu Mingze frowned slightly, just like when he suddenly heard that she was going on a blind date yesterday. Besides being surprised, he also felt a little irritated.

"As for what you said, I can actually understand it. Fu Zhiqing, you have helped my family a lot. Now I have to trouble you to help me with my homework. It's normal for you to feel impatient." Shen Moer lowered her eyes and said in a flat tone.

Fu Mingze was choked again and couldn't speak for a long time. For the first time, he felt that he couldn't explain himself. His lips moved for a long time and he squeezed out a sentence: "I really didn't mean that."

Shen Moer glanced at him indifferently and said, "Then I guess I misunderstood."

Fu Mingze: "..."

Even if his memory was bad, he still remembered what happened yesterday.

Their conversation now was exactly the same as yesterday, except that the words were changed.

"I apologize."

Fu Mingze reiterated helplessly, and there was a hint of weakness between his usually cold eyebrows.

Shen Moer looked at him carefully, nodded and said, "It's okay." After that, she lowered her head again and continued to read the textbook.

Fu Mingze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes unconsciously fell on the delicate and lively eyebrows of the person next to him, and then quickly looked away when she slightly tilted her head.

Shen Moer carefully read the question type, quickly turned to another page, pointed to a paragraph of text and formula on another page and asked Fu Mingze. Fu Mingze sorted out his thoughts and explained it in the most concise and clear words.

Since Shen Moer asked him to help with tutoring, he began to cram for high school courses. He has been reviewing for several days, and he is naturally able to handle the math problems of the first year of high school.

Time passed quietly, and the two of them stopped thinking about those trivial things. One studied hard, and the other studied seriously, until the voice of a naughty child sounded beside them: "Mom, Fu Zhiqing is really teaching Sister Moer to study!"

Shen Moer's thoughts were interrupted. When she looked up, she met Maomao's black grape-like eyes. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked: "What else?"

Shuner directly sold out her little friend: "Maomao said that you two are dating! Hahaha!"

Shen Moer Son: "..."

In anger, he tapped Maomao's head with a book: "Don't talk nonsense, have you finished your homework?"

Maomao rubbed his head and smiled: "It doesn't hurt, I'm not talking nonsense, my aunt always took me with her when she was dating, took me to the park, took me to the river bank, and she never took me with her after she married my uncle."

Shen Moer felt her face a little hot, but she still said righteously The young man said, "That's your aunt. We are neither in the park nor by the creek. We are studying. It's the same as studying together in a classroom."

The naughty child was quickly convinced. He held his chest high, put his feet together, and saluted crookedly with a particularly proud tone: "Report to the commander, the soldier Maomao has successfully completed the mission and all the work is done!" Shun'er

was not to be outdone and immediately followed suit. She bowed and said, "Reporting to the commander, the soldiers have also successfully completed their tasks and finished all the work!"

Shen Moer: "..."

She let the two naughty children take a break and move freely, got up and went into the kitchen to cut the extra egg pancake made at noon into three pieces, took it out and divided two small pieces for the two children, and gave a large piece to Fu Mingze: "I made too much at noon, and I have to go to work soon. Take it as a snack to fill your stomach."

Fu Mingze smiled and took it very readily.

Although the egg pancake was cold, it was still salty and fragrant. The two naughty children ate it with a mouthful of oil. After eating, they licked the fingers that took the pancake one by one, and promised Shen Moer that they would come again tomorrow!

If there is something good to eat, you are a fool if you don't come.

Seeing that it was almost time to start work, Shen Moer urged them to wash their hands and pack up the textbooks and pencils they brought.

Fu Mingze also washed his hands, and while the two naughty children were packing their textbooks, he took out a three-jin grain coupon from his pocket and handed it to Shen Moer: "You can't always eat and drink for free."

Before Shen Moer refused, he said: "Your family owed the brigade a lot of work points for building a house, and Uncle Shen Qi's grain coupons for the past two months should have been used. I usually eat at the educated youth camp, so I don't need grain coupons."

He paused and added: "I don't have any more."

Shen Moer's words of refusal came to her lips, but she had to swallow them back.

Judging from the apparent income, after her family built the house, especially after building such an expensive bathroom, they should have been stretched to the limit and unable to make ends meet.

At least it was impossible for them to make food for him from time to time.

Shen Moer took the food coupons and glanced at Fu Mingze's slightly thin face. She thought that it would be the same if she could find a way to give him back

the three kilograms of food coupons. She didn't know how long it took him to save these three kilograms of food coupons.

Seeing her accept the food coupons, Fu Mingze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to give her thirty kilograms of food coupons at once, but the problem was that he was a poor educated youth who didn't even have a good piece of clothing. If he really took out thirty kilograms of food coupons, the girl might think he had done something sneaky.

Glancing at Shen Moli's slightly pointed chin, Fu Mingze frowned and thought to himself, the family had good food during the days when the house was being built, so why didn't she gain any weight?

The two of them went out with their own thoughts. They had not taken a few steps when they heard the sound of a bicycle bell. Shen Moer looked back and saw her father riding a 28-bar bicycle quickly coming over. She stopped, widened her eyes in surprise, and took a few quick steps to greet him: "Dad, when did you learn to ride a bicycle? Where did you get this bicycle? Why are you back in the middle of the day?"

Shen Shaoyuan squeezed the brakes and got off the bike unskillfully. He greeted Fu Mingze first, and then patiently answered the questions one by one: "I borrowed Xu Weiguo's bicycle to learn before. This bike is his. I came back to talk to you about registering for the competition. , the commune primary school said that the registration deadline is today, you have to quickly make a list and register. "

When she heard about this, Shen Moer immediately said: "I have roughly thought of the candidates, let's go to the team leader to discuss it together?"

Then she said to Fu Mingze: "Fu Zhiqing, please send Maomao and Shun'er, I have something to do here and need to see the team leader."

Fu Mingze nodded: "It's okay, go quickly."

Shen Shaoyuan rode a bicycle for the first time, and he didn't dare to bring anyone with him, for fear that his precious daughter would fall. The two of them pushed the bicycle and walked quickly to the team leader's house, leaving three people, one big and two small, standing there and watching their backs.

Maomao and Shun'er whispered.

"What kind of competition are you talking about? It's the commune primary school. It's not a

competition for primary school students, right?" "Didn't Sister Moer say that she had chosen the candidates? Even if it is a competition for primary school students, not everyone will participate. I'm such a bad student, so I definitely can't participate." "

Well, I'm just an average student, so I definitely can't participate. That's okay, it has nothing to do with us."

Fu Mingze, who had listened to the entire conversation between the two naughty kids, patted their heads speechlessly and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the village."

This is the entrance to the village, and there is a stream not far away. Whether the children go to play in the water or run out of the village, it is easy to be in danger. If we take them into the village and get to places where there are more people, they will be fine.

Fu Mingze sent the two of them to a fork in the road not far from home, stopped, and took out a few fruit candies from his pocket full of patches, giving four to Maomao and two to Shuner.

Elementary school students have already learned arithmetic, not to mention four and two candies, which do not even require arithmetic knowledge.

Shun'er was not one to swallow his anger, and he immediately protested: "I have two less than Maomao!"

Fu Mingze nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with his division: "He performed well today, and the two extra ones are a reward for him."

Maomao immediately became proud: "Is it a reward for my good performance? Yes, yes, I performed well and got a reward!"

Shun'er had a big question mark on his little face, and he asked Fu Mingze a soul-searching question: "How did he perform better than me?!"

They started to do their homework together, finished their homework together, ate together, washed their hands together, and even saluted as well as Maomao.

Shun'er didn't understand, didn't comprehend, and felt very wronged.

Fu Mingze thought, he has good eyesight and can talk.

On the other side, when Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan rushed to Zhou Mancang's house, Zhou Mancang was about to go out. When he heard that there was something to discuss, he hurriedly let the two of them into the house.

As soon as Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan told him the story, Zhou Mancang rubbed his hands with joy: "Can the primary school in our brigade also sign up to participate in this provincial competition? If we win a prize in the province, will we be rewarded by the city, county and commune? In order to encourage everyone to participate, the county will give an organization award to anyone who organizes more than five people to sign up. What about the county awards?"

Zhou Mancang felt that he was really wise. He bit the bullet and asked the commune for a teacher's quota, and opened an art class for the primary school in the brigade. It has only been a short time, and the benefits of having an art class are already evident.

Guaranteed to win a county-level organization award, in the entire Liuqiao Commune, apart from the commune primary school, only their Yangliu Brigade Primary School ranked second in the entire commune!

Zhou Mancang was particularly excited and said "good" several times.

Shen Moer then talked about the list of students she had picked out from the "pop quiz" and also shared her concerns: "I picked six children, three boys and three girls. They all have to use their spare time for tutoring before the competition, and they also have to take time out to practice at home. I know the three boys, and they are all relatively spoiled by their families. I guess their families will support them. As for the three girls, two of them have to help with housework after school, and one sometimes has to ask for leave to go home to work. I'm afraid that the family will not let them learn."

This is also the reason why she came to Zhou Mancang as soon as possible.

Zhou Mancang frowned and asked, "Do we have to choose these three girls?"

He wanted to ask if we couldn't choose boys for all six. But when he saw Shen Moer's calm but determined look, he couldn't say it.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Mancang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Just register your name and I'll take care of the rest."

Shen Moer breathed a sigh of relief and filled out the registration form brought back by Shen Shaoyuan on the spot. She went to the brigade headquarters with Zhou Mancang and stamped the brigade's official seal on the registration form. Shen Shaoyuan took the registration form and rode his 28-bar bicycle back to the commune.

It was also time for work and classes in the afternoon. Shen Moer left the brigade headquarters and hurried to school. After arriving at school, she told Cheng Tao about registering for the provincial competition.

Cheng Tao was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized: "No wonder you let the children take tests in class, it's to screen out potential talents, right? That's great, Teacher Shen." He gave a thumbs up.

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Then these children won't have to attend the upcoming physical education classes and self-study classes. I'll help them cram for a while." Cheng Tao smiled

and said, "That's as it should be. I hope you'll have a good start and win honor for our Yangliu Brigade Primary School." Shen

Moer: "I'll do my best."

As they were talking, Shen Lingling, who had come in at some point, suddenly sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, "Ha, you're yawning like a toad. You're so arrogant. You've only had art classes for a few days. Can the students draw squares or circles? Yet you dare to organize them to participate in provincial competitions? Don't look back and fail to get the honor and make a fool of yourself in the province."

Shen Moer turned around and glanced at Shen Lingling.

Shen Moer actually found it quite strange. Shen Lingling used to have a good reputation in the village. She also cared a lot about her image and pretended to be decent in front of others. Now, she didn't know whether it was because her family's reputation had plummeted or because of some kind of stimulation, she became weird and didn't even pretend.

Shen Moer glanced at Cheng Tao again and found that Cheng Tao's expression didn't change at all, as if he was not surprised at all by Shen Lingling's sarcastic side.

Okay, Shen Moer understood.

It seems that Cheng Tao had seen through what kind of person Shen Lingling was a long time ago. Shen Lingling probably knew it too, so she simply stopped pretending in front of Cheng Tao.

In that case.

Shen Moer asked back with a cold face: "Teacher Shen Lingling has such rich teaching experience. I wonder what kind of competitions have you taken the students to participate in? Every year in the exams, the students' scores should be among the best in the whole commune, right? By the way, I remember that you seemed to have participated in the recruitment of workers in the commune's textile factory. Why didn't you go to be a worker? Is it because you didn't want to go?"

The main point is to hit someone in the face.

Shen Lingling was almost crazy, especially when Shen Moer mentioned the recruitment of workers in the textile factory. Shen Lingling didn't know how Shen Moer knew about this, but she really didn't want anyone to know. She was a high school graduate, and she failed the examination to be a worker in the textile factory, so she could only return to the village to be a teacher in disgrace.

She always said that she loves education and is willing to dedicate her youth to grassroots education.

Shen Lingling didn't even dare to look at Cheng Tao's expression, she grabbed the textbook and ran away.

Cheng Tao, who was watching the whole process, had a gossipy expression on his face. He had never heard that Shen Lingling had passed the textile factory exam.

However, Cheng Tao glanced at Shen Lingling who ran away in a hurry, and then secretly glanced at Shen Moli who had already sat back at the desk. He secretly sighed in his heart, lesbians are really powerful when they get angry, and it seems that the good-tempered comrade Shen Moli is also really powerful when she gets powerful.

Shen Moli didn't care what Cheng Tao thought. She packed up her things and went to class.

After class, during the break, Shen Moli called all six children on the list to the camphor tree next to the playground. She

didn't go to the office because she was afraid that Shen Lingling would go crazy again and say something inappropriate in front of the students.

Hearing that they were going to participate in the painting competition, the three boys were very excited and had no psychological burden. The three girls, however, hung their heads and were silent.

Shen Moer bent down and looked at them, and said, "You just need to work hard to learn what the teacher teaches you. The teacher and the team leader will communicate with the parents about other matters."

The girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The round-faced girl named Meimei was more outgoing. She exclaimed exaggeratedly and said, "Teacher, you and the team leader must talk to my mother. Otherwise, if I don't go to collect firewood after school, my mother will beat me to death."

Another girl named Xiaoyezi smiled shyly, "Yes, I will also go to collect firewood after school."

Shen Moer touched their heads and said, "Don't worry, the teacher and the captain will talk to you adults."

The skinny and dark girl named Zhaodi hesitated for a long time and asked, "Teacher, can I not participate?"

She lowered her head, and her skinny and dark hands consciously rubbed the corners of her clothes that had turned white and fuzzy from washing, and stammered, "My mother won't agree."

Shen Moer looked at her, was silent for a while, touched her head, and said, "The teacher and the captain will negotiate with your mother first, okay?"

Zhaodi nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Moer: "Okay, you go back to class first, and the tutoring will start tomorrow. I will inform you of the time and place tomorrow."

Several children ran away.

Among the six people, Maomao was the only one Shen Moer was familiar with. She didn't run away immediately. After everyone else left, she said in a childish way: "Sister Moer, Zhou Zhaodi's mother will not agree. Her mother is a stepmother. She has to do a lot of work at home. Sometimes she doesn't even have food to eat. She is often hungry and growling. You can hear her during class."

Maomao is almost a head taller than Zhou Zhaodi, but they are actually the same age and classmates.

Shen Moer recalled and found that there was no content related to Zhou Zhaodi in the original owner's memory, but it was not surprising. The original owner was introverted and rarely contacted with the villagers. It is estimated that she had little contact with Zhou Zhaodi's parents.

So he asked curiously: "Where is her biological mother?"

Maomao shook his head and said: "Her mother wanted to give her a brother, but she couldn't, so she died, and then her stepmother came."

The naughty child looked up at Shen Moer curiously: "Sister Moer, is it difficult to give birth to a child? Is it more difficult than doing homework?"

Shen Moer touched his head: "Sometimes it is very difficult."

I don't know what the team leader said to the children's parents. When the tutoring officially started the next day, all six children arrived.

Shen Moer didn't care about these, and even stopped her own extracurricular studies, and started to conduct intensive training for the six children.

It was also because the content of cultural propaganda in this era was very simple and the theme was very clear that Shen Moer dared to organize intensive training for the children to participate in the competition.

This is like knowing the scope of the test in advance before taking an exam. You only need to prepare the corresponding content, which is relatively much easier.

Moreover, regardless of whether they can win the prize or not, this is a rare opportunity for the children in the brigade.

Shen Moer was busy here, but Fu Mingze suddenly became idle. When he had nothing to do, he didn't read a book, but often went to the vegetable garden to weed.

Zheng Jiamin observed him for a few days and suspected that he didn't go to the vegetable garden to weed, but went to the vegetable garden to think about life. After all, Fu Mingze had been weeding for a few days, and the weeds in the vegetable garden didn't seem to decrease.

Finally one day, Zheng Jiamin couldn't help but ran over to ask Fu Mingze: "Has your friend's problem not been resolved yet? Since the girl has found a good boyfriend after such a long time, maybe he has already decided on one. Your friend shouldn't worry about it anymore, right?"

Fu Mingze raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were a little cold, which made Zheng Jiamin's scalp numb. After a while, he heard Fu Mingze asked a completely unrelated question: "Have you ever watched a movie at the County Cinema?"

Zheng Jiamin shook his head blankly: "No, doesn't the commune show open-air movies every now and then? There are only a few movies, so there's no need to spend money to go to the County Cinema to watch them, right?"

These days, there are only a few movies over and over again, and basically everyone is familiar with each movie and has watched it more than three times.

Fu Mingze nodded in agreement: "That's right, why is it necessary?"

So what good thing can it be to coax a girl to go to the County Cinema to watch a movie?

Zheng Jiamin had already forgotten that Shen Moer might go to the movies with her blind date, but Fu Mingze, who had heard him mention it, felt a little nervous these days.

Tomorrow is Sunday.
