Zhou Chen closed the door and recalled that the girl who had just gone up the stairs in front of him and opened the door of 301 was most likely Hu Qiumin from the protagonist group in the play. She was also a member of the trio at the beginning and was related to Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si.
most.
He also learned from Zhou Limin that Hu Qiumin's family lived across the street.
Hu Qiumin's situation in the drama flashed through his mind quickly, including his violent father, controlling mother, cold stepfather, and warm brother. After watching the TV series, his biggest impression of Hu Qiumin was that this little kid
The girl is a brother-controller. She always talks about how her brother is doing and how her brother is doing.
The final summary is that he is a poor person with an unhappy family, but he is also a loyal and worthy friend.
Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun have returned. Sun Xiuyun is cooking in the kitchen, while Zhou Limin is sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
The two people who heard the sound looked at the door at the same time.
"Xiaochen is back."
"Well, uncle, aunt, I'm going to go get familiar with the surroundings this afternoon."
Sun Xiuyun said with a smile: "You really need to get familiar with the environment, but you are not familiar with this place yet, or you should ask your uncle to take you out for a walk."
"No need, I've been to many places this afternoon and know a lot of roads. And I'm old enough that I can find my home and won't get lost."
Sun Xiuyun and Zhou Limin were very happy to hear that Zhou Chen called this place their home.
"Xiao Chen, go wash your hands and you can eat soon."
"good."
While eating, Sun Xiuyun filled a large bowl of rice for Zhou Chen and kept picking up vegetables for Zhou Chen.
"The hukou should be issued soon, and then you can go to school. Our schools here may be different from those in your hometown. The students here are all children who grew up in the oil field base. They..."
Sun Xiuyun was talking about things about school. In fact, she had never been exposed to these things before. She only asked her colleagues temporarily in the afternoon, and now she talked about them all.
Although these may be of no use to Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen still listened very carefully. He is a centuries-old monster, so this still has some emotional value.
Time flies, and a few days have passed. On this day, Zhou Limin went to the household registration department and finally got a new household registration book. The original household registration book for two people became three people. He was still the head of the household. When he saw the household registration book, Zhou Chen
His name and his status as an adopted son were related to the head of the household. He happily drank two more drinks in the evening.
Sun Xiuyun also took the household registration book and was extremely happy. The two people became a family of three. This is a new child, and the adopted son is also a son.
"Xiao Chen, your uncle and I have already arranged the school affairs. The dean of the No. 2 Middle School has said that as long as the household registration is transferred, you can transfer to the No. 2 Middle School. The school is on holiday tomorrow, and your uncle will take you to school the day after tomorrow.
Report.”
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle, aunt, thank you for asking for help these days."
Zhou Limin said: "You kids, we are all a family, why are you talking about this? The most important thing for you now is to go to school well and get into college. Everything else is secondary."
"What your uncle said is that we are all one family. We don't know how the teaching in the middle school here in the oil field is different from the teaching in our hometown. But you don't have to worry. Even if you can't learn well, we will find a way in the future.
Let you go to work in the oil field and don’t have to worry about the future."
Although it is now 1997 and the top-shift system has gradually disappeared, it has not completely disappeared. As long as there is a relationship, it can still be operated.
Moreover, Sun Xiuyun's thoughts are somewhat different from Zhou Limin's. She actually doesn't expect Zhou Chen to be admitted to college. She hopes that Zhou Chen can stay in the oil field and stay with them, so that they can take care of Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen really gets admitted to college and becomes capable, she is really afraid that Zhou Chen will not come back after he goes out.
Even though she has only been here for less than a week, Sun Xiuyun feels that she is really different from the past these days. She used to feel nothing when going to and from get off work. Anyway, when she comes home, she is just two people, sometimes alone. It is not lively at all, nothing Hope.
But it's different these days. Even when I'm at work, I'm always thinking about home, thinking about going back from get off work early to cook and wash clothes for my children.
Although there is only one more person in the house, it really feels a lot more lively and there is hope for life. At the end of the day, she is still full of energy. Even her colleagues in the workplace have noticed the changes in her and said that her face has changed over the past few days.
There are more smiles.
Listening to Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun's words, Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing. They both did it for his own good, but they just had different ideas.
For workers working in the oil field, weekends are not necessarily rest days. Most of the work in the oil production plant does not include weekends. It is basically a day off, with one day off for a few days, and sometimes it may be ten days off.
I haven't had any rest for the past day, which is normal.
Zhou Limin and Sun Xiuyun went to work, leaving Zhou Chen alone at home. To be honest, there was only a TV at home, but in this era, there were still relatively few TV programs, so he was too lazy to turn on the TV, so he just took the books he bought two days ago.
, and looked at it.
Zhou Chen said that he didn’t need to come back to cook at noon and could cook it himself, but Sun Xiuyun was still worried. He took advantage of the short break at noon and ran back home to cook for Zhou Chen.
, what I saw was the meal that Zhou Chen had already prepared.
Sitting at the dinner table and eating the food cooked by Zhou Chen, for some reason, Sun Xiuyun suddenly wanted to cry. It was the first time she experienced this feeling of being cared about by her children and eating the food cooked by her children.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen was going to the bookstore to buy a few more books and come back to read. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the door on the opposite side was also opened, and a girl came out, it was Hu Qiumin.
Zhou Chen took the initiative to say hello: "Hello."
When Hu Qiumin saw Zhou Chen, she was a little at a loss as to whether she should say hello or not. But when she saw Zhou Chen greeting her, she responded quickly.
"Hello."
After a pause, he spoke again: "I heard from my mother that your name is Zhou Chen, right?"
"Yes, my name is Zhou Chen."
"My name is Hu Qiumin."
Hu Qiumin said her name openly, and then asked curiously: "I heard from my mother that you are going to study at our Lin Qi'er Middle School in the future?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I have completed the procedures. If nothing else happens, I should report to Lin No. 72 Middle School tomorrow."
"High school? What grade are you in?"
"First year of high school."
"You are in the same grade as me, but it's already June and summer vacation is about to begin. Why don't you transfer to another school after the summer?"
Hu Qiumin was very curious. In fact, there were no students who transferred to Linqi Oilfield. Most of these people came here following their parents' job transfers. But like Zhou Chen, he transferred here with less than a month left in the semester. Really
Never heard of it.
"Something unexpected happened and I had to turn around at this time." Zhou Chen explained briefly.
"oh."
Hu Qiumin didn't know what to say for a while. He was really unfamiliar.
It was Zhou Chen who said, "I'm going to the bookstore to buy books, so I'll leave first."
"Oh, okay, by the way, I'm in Class 11 of No. 2 Middle School. We are neighbors. You will go to school tomorrow. If you need any help, you can come to me."
Remembering her mother's advice, Hu Qiumin took the initiative to show her kindness to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you, I will do it." After saying that, he went downstairs first.
Hu Qiumin stared blankly at Zhou Chen's back as he walked downstairs. She didn't come back to her senses until it disappeared.
"Is he smiling at me? But he seems pretty handsome."
The first time they met, it was just a quick meeting, but just now, they had a few face-to-face conversations, so she clearly saw Zhou Chen's appearance.
After closing the door, Hu Qiumin quickly came down and trotted all the way to the flower garden where they often gathered. This is where Cheng Miaomiao's mother Jia Daiyu works, and it is also the base of several of their friends.
"Xiao Min."
When Hu Qiumin arrived, she saw Cheng Miaomiao sitting on the swing waving vigorously at her, while Li Si stood behind Cheng Miaomiao and pushed Cheng Miaomiao hard on the swing.
Hu Qiumin walked over and Cheng Miaomiao also stopped.
"Xiao Min, Li Si said we go to the county town together to play, what do you think?"
"It's not that great. I finally had a day off and didn't want to travel so far. If he wants to go to the county town, he must just want to play games in the game room."
Li Si immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Hu Qiumin, how can you frame me? I want to take you to play together, how can I just go to play games?"
Hu Qiumin sat on the simple version of the carousel: "I'm not going anyway. If I don't have the energy to run so far, I might as well lie down at home, listen to music and watch TV."
Cheng Miaomiao said: "Xiaomin won't go, and I don't want to go either. Xiaomin, did your brother send you a tape again?"
"Yes, the albums of the Four Heavenly Kings are still genuine." Hu Qiumin looked excited.
"Really?"
Now is the time when the Four Heavenly Kings are becoming popular all over the mainland. As long as celebrities are mentioned in this era, the Four Heavenly Kings are definitely the most mentioned group.
Li Si curled his lips. Compared to the Four Heavenly Kings, he still prefers the female stars of Xiangjiang. One is more beautiful than the other.
The three friends were chatting happily. Suddenly Hu Qiumin thought of Zhou Chen who he had just met, so she started talking to Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si.
"A handsome guy came to Uncle Zhou's house across from our house. I heard that he is going to transfer to our No. 2 Middle School. He is in the same class as us and is a freshman in high school."
Li Si looked surprised: "This semester is about to end. Are you transferring to another school at this time?"
Cheng Miaomiao asked curiously: "Is he handsome? How handsome is he?"
Hu Qiumin thought for a while and said: "He is half a head taller than Li Si. Anyway, I think he is very handsome, but he is a little darker. My mother said that he seems to be from a local rural area."
"Hu Qiumin, what do you mean by half a head taller than me? Are you saying I'm short?" Li Si was dissatisfied.
"So do you think you're tall?"
With that said, Hu Qiumin walked to Li Si and stood up. The two of them were almost the same height.
"He is half a head taller than me, isn't he half a head taller than you?"
Li Si's face turned red: "I am only seventeen years old, and I will grow taller in the future. Some people grow first, but I grow later. The first height does not count as taller. I will definitely be much taller in two years."
No teenager doesn't care about his height, especially when he is not as tall as a girl, which is even more unacceptable.
Cheng Miaomiao patted Li Si on the shoulder: "Okay, we believe you, Li Si, you will definitely grow again. People grow until they are eighteen years old, and you will grow until you are at least twenty-eight years old. That's it."
"Cheng Miaomiao!" Li Si glared at Cheng Miaomiao angrily.
The three of them had a lot of fun, and then Li Si took Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin to his restaurant, Xiao Shudu, to have dinner.
The next day, Zhou Chen and Zhou Limin took their things to Lin No. 72 Middle School, explained the situation, and went directly to the dean Xiao Fang after entering the school.
"Hello, Director Xiao, my name is Zhou Limin, and this is my child Zhou Chen."
Zhou Limin pulled Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen immediately said to Xiao Fang sitting in front of him: "Director Xiao, my name is Zhou Chen."
Xiao Fang looked at Zhou Chen, who was tall and energetic in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. Although the school is focused on learning, it is easy for people to like him if he is polite and good-looking.
"Zhou Chen, right? I heard from Manager Niu that if all the procedures are completed, there is no problem in transferring to another school. But this semester is coming to an end. Can you keep up with your studies?"
"I also studied by myself at home, so I can keep up."
He is a freshman in high school, and they are both in Oil City, so the textbooks are naturally the same. Zhou Chen has read them all a few days ago. To him, it is really child's play.
"Very good, it's good to have confidence."
Xiao Fang was quite satisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude. He didn't look like a student from the countryside. He was generous, confident and easy to communicate with, which reassured her.
"Parent Zhou Chen, you can rest assured now that your child is in my hands."
With Xiao Fang's guarantee, Zhou Limin completed all the procedures, gave Zhou Chen a few words, and then left the school. Xiao Fang took Zhou Chen to the teacher's office of the first grade group.
"Teacher Zhang, this is a student who just transferred here. I decided to put him in your class." Xiao Fang pointed at Zhou Chen and said.
Teacher Zhang is a male teacher in his fifties. When he saw Zhou Chen, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"No problem, Director Xiao."
"Zhou Chen, Teacher Zhang is an old teacher in our school and the head teacher of Grade 11."
Zhou Chen immediately greeted: "Teacher Zhang, hello, my name is Zhou Chen, I come from..."
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiao Fang spoke again: "Teacher Zhang, I leave it to you Zhou Chen. Although there is less than a month left in this semester, we still want this child to integrate into the class as soon as possible.
"
Zhang Shaowen nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me."
He will retire at the end of this semester, but before retirement, he, the class teacher, will still do his best to educate and guide students.
After Xiao Fang left, Zhang Shaowen asked Zhou Chen some questions. He found that Zhou Chen didn't seem afraid of him. He was neither humble nor arrogant like a student who had just transferred to another school. However, he didn't think much about it. Taking advantage of the break, he took Zhou Chen with him.
Chen went to Class 1, Grade 1.
Zhang Shaowen stopped at the door of the classroom, and the noisy Grade 1 and 1 classes suddenly became quiet. The students outside also quickly returned to the class and returned to their seats.
After everyone was gathered, Zhang Shaowen took Zhou Chen into the classroom.
"Today I would like to introduce to you a newly transferred classmate."
In fact, when Zhou Chen followed Zhang Shaowen into the classroom, the whole class saw him. When Zhang Shaowen introduced him as a newly transferred classmate, everyone immediately looked at Zhou Chen with strange eyes.
Hu Qiumin was also very surprised when she saw Zhou Chen. She knew that Zhou Chen was going to transfer to No. 2 Middle School, but she didn't expect that he would be transferred to their class by such a coincidence.
She leaned back, turned around and said to Cheng Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, he is the Zhou Chen I told you about who just came from across the street from our house."
Cheng Miaomiao stared at Zhou Chen unblinkingly, and suddenly said: "Xiao Min, your vision is right. This man is indeed handsome, and his temperament is very similar to Li Ming, but he doesn't look like someone from the countryside."
It’s coming.”
"That's what my mother said, but I don't know."
While the two of them were muttering, Cheng Miaomiao's deskmate Wei Xue also whispered: "Do you know him?"
When Zhou Chen, who was standing next to the podium, heard Zhang Shaowen's words, he faced the crowd and began to introduce himself in a calm tone.
