He had an idea in his mind, so when he came home from school, Shen Chi spoke to his mother.
When Gui Shuzhen heard that her son wanted to buy a book, she did not refuse and immediately gave her son two yuan.
Two yuan was a huge sum of money in the 1980s. Shen Chi did not expect his mother to be so cheerful. After asking, he found out that the person collecting salvia had been here in the morning. During this time, Shen Changlin and Gui Shuzhen The dug salvia was sold for more than 30 yuan.
At this time, an ordinary worker's monthly salary was only more than 40 yuan, so the two yuan Gui Shuzhen gave Shen Chi had strong purchasing power.
When Shen Fang saw her mother giving her brother two dollars, she also clamored for it. Gui Shuzhen glared: "Xiao Chi wants money to buy books, what do you want money for?"
"Mom is partial." Shen Fang pouted and walked aside.
When Mrs. Hu saw her, she was afraid that Shen Fang would have a problem with her mother, so she quickly took out a few pieces of sesame candy from the room and gave them to her.
Because Shen Fang wanted money from her mother, Shen Fang was still vomiting, so she didn't wait for Shen Chi after the meal and left alone.
When Shen Chi came to the school, he saw that the door of the office was open, so he went straight over. Originally, he was looking for the principal. The principal was not there, and there was only a male teacher inside. Shen Chi took a look and found that the teacher was exactly Duan Jiawen, the math teacher who once taught him.
Just as Shen Chi was about to leave, Teacher Duan called to him: "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Chi had no choice but to turn around and reply respectfully: "Teacher, I'm looking for the principal."
"What do you want from the principal?" Teacher Duan, who was grading homework, became interested. He stopped writing and looked at Shen Chi with a smile on his face and asked.
Shen Chi had no choice but to answer: "I want to buy a set of sixth-grade textbooks from the principal."
Duan Jiawen's attention had already been drawn to Duan Jiawen's attention when Shen Chi could do the sixth grade test papers. When he heard that he wanted to buy sixth grade textbooks, his smile became even stronger and he immediately said, "The principal is not here, I can make the decision and sell him a set." you. "
As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys tied with a string from the drawer, stood up and said to Shen Chi, "Follow the teacher."
Walking through the corridor to the first door at the end, I tried a few times to open the wooden door with mottled paint, and found sixth grade textbooks among a pile of textbooks. In addition to Chinese and mathematics, there were also nature, labor, art, and calligraphy. , history, etc.
Shen Chi saw it and said hurriedly: "Teacher, I only have two pieces."
As he said that, he quickly took out the money.
Teacher Duan saw it and smiled and said, "This book is for you. It doesn't cost any money."
"How can we do this without money?" Shen Chi asked in shock.
"It's okay, I'll tell the principal." Teacher Duan motioned to Shen Chi to take the book away.
Shen Chi thanked Teacher Duan profusely, and Teacher Duan smiled even more, thinking that this child was not only smart, but also very polite.
The classroom door had not yet opened, so Shen Chi took the books and had to go under the big locust tree on the playground, pull out the math book and read it carefully.
As students arrived one after another, the playground gradually became lively. Shen Chi wanted to find a quiet place to continue reading. At this time, Sun Tao, who was in the same class with him, also came. Seeing Shen Chi, he hurriedly shouted: "Shen Chi , let’s play paper cubes.”
Paper cubes are tofu cubes folded from waste paper. The gameplay is that one party places the cube on the ground, and the other takes the cube to hit the opponent's cube. The airflow generated by the cube fanning the ground will knock over the opponent's cube to win. If there is no fight, switch to the other party.
This game is somewhat of a gambling nature, so many students have torn up all their textbooks and folded them into cubes before they even finished the semester.
Shen Chi looked at Sun Tao and said, "I don't have any cubes."
Sun Tao took out a piece from his hand and handed it to Shen Chi: "I'll lend it to you."
Being bored, Shen Chi agreed.
In fact, Shen Chi originally didn't want to play such a childish game, because Sun Tao was short, with a round face and a chubby face. He was half a head shorter than Shen Chi. After wiping it casually, both sides of the face were covered with a layer of black "sniffle skin", so he was nicknamed "Slug".
Not only did his classmates not play with him, but sometimes they would bully him. Even the teacher would frown when he looked at him, so usually at school, he would always squat in a corner and watch others play.
Shen Chi also played with him out of sympathy and played paper fanning cubes.
This kind of game requires not only strength, but also skill. In less than half an hour, Sun Tao lost all the cubes in his hand to Shen Chi.
"Just wait, I'll fold it again." He said and rushed to the classroom.
Shen Chi hurriedly stopped him: "I owe you one more, I'll give it back to you."
Sun Tao took the cube and said, "Let's do it again."
This time Shen Gu let him go, but after playing for more than ten minutes, he accidentally knocked over his cube. Sun Tao went back to the classroom to fold the cube again, and Shen hurriedly returned the winning cube to him, for fear that he would lose his. The book was torn.
Sun Tao was honest and honest. He only wanted half of it and counted it: "Let me lend it to you. Let's do it again!"
As he spoke, he enthusiastically placed a cube on the ground.
After playing with Sun Tao for a while, there were gradually more people, and other companions asked Shen Chi to play police and catch thieves.
This game can train Lu Ben and gain knowledge points and skill proficiency. Shen Chi readily agreed. At this time, Sun Tao felt a sense of loss on his face and squatted aside silently. Shen Chi couldn't bear to see it, and Shen Chi came to call him. Li Haidao said: "Let's bring Sun Tao with us."
Li Hai glanced at Sun Tao and said, "Okay."
There was a look of disbelief in Sun Tao's eyes. When he heard Li Hai agreed, he got up with a happy face and followed Shen Chi and the others.
The two sides quickly distributed the number of people and decided who would be the policeman and who would be the thief.
Now Shen Chi's physique has been increased to eight points, and his agility and strength have been greatly improved. He is no longer the weakest one whether he is a policeman or a thief like before.
During the play, Shen Chi discovered that Sun Tao was extremely active. This was probably the first time someone was willing to play with him, and he seemed extremely excited.
At this time, it was Shen Chi's team's turn to be the policeman. He took the lead and rushed straight towards Sun Tao. Sun Tao immediately ran away with a silly smile.
Shen Chi chuckled lightly and chased after Sun Tao. Unexpectedly, Sun Tao looked stupid, but he was very thoughtful. When Shen Chi was about to catch up with him, he suddenly stopped suddenly. Shen Chi couldn't hold back his momentum for a moment. pass.
Sun Tao changed direction and was about to run away. When Shen Chi passed by him, he instinctively reached out and grabbed the collar of his sweatshirt.
Hearing a "squeak" sound, Shen Chi accidentally tore Sun Tao's clothes.
Shen Chi couldn't help but panic. He was screaming secretly in his heart, thinking that Sun Tao would cry. Who knows that Sun Tao didn't care and kept shouting at Shen Chi: "Come on, come and catch me!"
Shen Chi couldn't help but feel sad for Sun Tao. He was so in need of playmates that having someone to play with was more important than anything else. Even if his clothes were torn and he might get beaten by his parents when he went back, he didn't care at all.
