Chapter 9 Before 1990(1/3)
08 Green Gardenia
Wang Hu's grades in primary school were mediocre, and he enrolled in Nancheng No. 13 Middle School, a boarding junior high school with rather difficult conditions.
How difficult is it? Not to mention running on time at six o'clock every day, seeing some meat in the cafeteria is more difficult than getting a wife.
Due to the implementation of education reform in Nancheng, in order to verify the effect, a joint examination is held once a month, covering the fourth, fifth and sixth grade of elementary school and all grades of junior high school.
Zhang Lanfeng used an old saying when sending Huzi to school, "Girls can't do junior high school. You are a boy, so the energy to study comes later."
Aomame is the top student in the best elementary school in Xiao Nancheng. After entering junior high school, she was also taken seriously. She was promoted to class cadre and school cadre. It can be said that she studied in a positive environment and did not appear to be beyond her capabilities for the time being.
As for Hu Zi, probably thanks to a few more years of primary school, he seems to have really gained strength after entering junior high school. He performed stably in several joint entrance exams and was lucky enough to become a chicken head.
Although it is not the comb part, it can still be regarded as cutting off the chicken neck.
The villain who got rid of bad grades was successful and received the "Three Good Student" certificate for the first time. He paraded around the family home and was so proud that he even ran to Aomame and said that he would post it at her house.
He ignored Aomame's wall-to-wall certificates and said, "They match well if they are posted together."
Gu Yi said "Huh" at that time, with a rather disgusted expression.
Huzi said to Qingdou, "My mother said that I can marry a wife after I get into college. When the time comes, you can 'follow' me."
"To" means to marry him and he will support her.
Qingdou wanted to tell him that it was very difficult to get into college, so stop talking nonsense like a pig, but she couldn't bear to hurt Huzi's rare self-motivation, so she patted him on the shoulder and dimpled: "Huzi, be good.
Study, I believe in you.”
The friendship between her and Huzi is a revolutionary friendship that is more solid than the "three guarantees" that guarantee repairs, exchanges and refunds. Of course, Gu Yi's disgusted expression will not be a flaw.
On this day, Huzi was released from the "prison". Remembering that Aomame said she was going to die when he left last time, he quickly stepped up his steps to collect Aomame's body.
It's just that Huzi doesn't know that in this battle without him, not only has his status as "No. 1 in the world" been lost, but he has also been kicked out of the Aomame Hero List.

There were poles in the courtyard of No. 109 Dongdaemun, and colorful clothes and sheets were hanging out. It was obvious that the flow of people had increased sharply. Huzi ran to the door with a gasp, and then stepped back, thinking that he was dreaming.
The small house of a few square meters was full of people - four women and one man.
On the other hand, Aomame moved a small stool and leaned against the clothes-drying pole, disappearing under the wind-blown sheets, feeling content.
While she was munching cucumbers, she was flipping through the "Story Club" that she had stolen from the toilet. There was an enamel cup at her feet, with sweet chrysanthemum crystals soaked in it.
Seeing Hu Zi coming, she put the book on her knees and said, "Long time no see, Brother Wang."
"Here," Huzi raised his eyebrows to indicate the situation inside, "Brother Cheng's family has expanded its business and opened a guest house?" He saw that there was a mat on the ground, and it was obvious that someone was laying the floor at night.
Aomame chuckled: "Those are my mother and my sister."
Huzi nodded and said hello one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Russell Su, who had his hands behind his back and two braids, "Who is this?"
Qingdou raised his head and proudly opened his dimples: "My best friend Russell Su! Cheng Lingsu's 'Su'!"
Torako and Aomame looked at each other, and the latter raised his head even higher.
But he didn't learn anything else in school. He learned how to tease girls from a group of half-grown boys.
He walked straight up to Su Su and held out two paper tickets, "Then, Miss Su Su, would you like to watch a new movie with me?"
Aomame looked at the two movie tickets eagerly, but she didn't even get the "Story Club" ticket.
It's a movie
Su Su chuckled, saw through Hu Zi's trick at a glance, and hooked her hand on Qing Dou's shoulder: "As for me, I only watch movies with my name Cheng Qing Dou."
Her eyebrows were raised, her soft and vague accent was mixed in her mouth, and she looked a bit like a pretty country girl.
Aomame laughed so hard that her eyes were blinded. This is her girlfriend! After being friends for so many years, Hu Zi has never spoken such dialogue. Susu is so good.
Huzi smiled when he heard this, revealing a row of crooked front teeth: "Isn't that a coincidence?" He rubbed his thumb, and another paper ticket poked out from the bottom. Three movie tickets were opened in a fan shape, and to the naked eye
The spacing is consistent, just like in a opera, the lines and props are all stuck, "There are exactly three."
Russell thought to himself: There are two brushes.
Qingdou immediately jumped on Susu, feeling as good as if she was in a movie theater.
This movie ticket was issued by Lanfeng's work unit. When I gave it to Huzi, I told him to go watch it with brother Yangyang and learn from the strengths of other college students. But brother Yangyang didn't have time. He planned to take Gu Yi with him, thinking that he could learn from the strengths of high school students.
As soon as he reached Aomame, he was so fascinated that he gave it to a stranger.
When he was showing off his power, he didn't even prepare a way out for himself, forgetting that he had told Gu Yi in advance.
Qingdou was just happy when she saw Qingzhi squatting on the ground and staring at her, and her heart softened, "How about, Huzi, you take my sister and Susu to see it, I won't go." Qingzhi will be there in three days.
gone.
Huzi thought to himself that this was not right, and was originally worried about how Gu Yi could explain it.
With so many relatives in Aomame's family, it is impossible for them all to go to the cinema. They do not have the financial conditions, but they can choose a compromise: "Let's go to an outdoor movie."
"Has it happened recently?"
"It's available today! What you like is "Lushan Love"."
"Wow!" Aomame spun around.
When the weather is fine, there are outdoor movie screenings every week in Xiaonancheng Street Park. It must be because the scene is so popular that the ticket price has increased from 5 cents to 8 cents in the past two years.
Aomame loved going there when she first came to Xiao Nancheng, because she was petite and could blend in with people to evade fares. Plus she had a clever ghost who supported her, so she worked very well together. Later she went to junior high school and had a second brother.
After feeding me with books, I gradually became less fond of them.
Qingdou wanted to watch a movie with her mother. But Wu Huiping looked disgusted and waved her hands repeatedly, saying that there are movies in the village. She won't go, but you kids will go.
After that, the man sat on the steps and fanned himself.
It's May in Xiaonancheng, and the weather is hotter than in the village.
Because of the large temperature difference between day and night, it was fine at night, but it was miserable at noon during the day. Wu Huiping had been here for a few days, and the heat was unbearable. In the afternoon, she became very angry.
Huzi enthusiastically came forward to invite him, speaking standard Mandarin and Wu Huiping's dialect, he came back and forth, answering questions.
Another foreigner, Russell Su, couldn't understand Aomame's hometown dialect at all.
Huzi has good social skills. He came out of the hut laughing and joking, with an expression as if he had captured Wu Huiping.
Wu Huiping also rarely showed her simple smile and shouted to him: "Come and play!"
Aomame was surprised and asked, "Did my mother say we should go to an outdoor movie?"
Huzi couldn't say anything, and the word quickly took on Wu Huiping's flavor - he meant "bui".
Qingdou finally understood why Zhang Lanfeng was so angry when she saw Huzi playing with her. Huzi's ability to learn words was quite strong.

In the evening, Gu Yi finished his homework and came to report. A large group of them biked to the park in the middle of the street. In fact, the walk only took about ten minutes, but it was too hot, so everyone tried to save their energy.
There were five people and only two cars, one Zhang Lanfeng's old Phoenix and one Gu Yi's new Everlasting.
Gu Yi glanced at Qingdou, but Qingdou didn't pick it up, as if she had completely forgotten the promise she made after the "mash", and kept making things up. Considering the load, she said: "Huzi will carry me, Gu Yi's new riders Susu and Qing
gardenia."
Aomame made the final decision. As for why it was so divided, no one raised any objections. Everyone only wanted to watch a movie and quickly climbed on their bicycles.
Hu Zi helped him get on the faucet of the car, and a faint floral fragrance rushed into his nose.
He was distracted: "Qingdou, why do you smell like rubber?"
The rubber used by Qingdou was fragrant. Huzi was envious when he smelled it for the first time and even shouted to buy it. But the strange thing is that the same rubber bought in the same store lost its fragrance after only a few days of use. Qingdou
The smell lasts for several years. Could it be that the scent of rubber is the same as the old man dishing walnuts, the more fragrant it is, the more fragrant it becomes? This has always been an unsolved mystery in Huzi's mind.
Aomame picked up the rabbit tail beside her ear and smelled it, "Really? My brother gave me a bottle of a new product from Shanghai called bee flower. It's really fragrant."
When Qing Zhi heard this, her head popped out from Gu Yi's arm: "Sister, I want to use it too!" She entered the city and was extremely curious about everything.
Aomame met the girl's eyes and said, "Okay."
When he looked away, he met Gu Yi's strange and strange eyes.
Gu Yi's thin lips curled downwards, and his dark eyes were filled with arrogance. His originally polite hair was ruined in boarding school, and he became arrogant in just one week. A few strands of tempered hair on his forehead were stabbed into the middle of his eyebrows.
Fly away and block the domineering thick eyebrows.
Qingdou said to Gu Yi: "Look what I'm doing!"
Gu Yi looked away and looked forward. He looked like he was too lazy to pay attention to her, but in fact he just suppressed the smile on his face.
Qingdou didn't wait for a reply. She looked at his increasingly angular profile, her lips turned into rabbit valves with anger, and she felt resentful in her heart: Gu Yi is this kind of person!
When we arrived at the entrance of the park in the middle of the street, many people had already entered the venue. Aiming Dou was afraid that the location was not good, so she hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to buy tickets.
There are no tickets for open-air movies. You have to pay to let people in. They are first come, first served. Those who sit in the front and back rows rely on their own initiative.
Qingdou paid her and Qing Zhi's money, Susu gave her money, and Huzi gave her money. When it was the last person's turn, Gu Yi naturally grabbed the money from his pocket and went straight in.
The ticket seller stopped him in a very bad tone: "Hey! Young man! What's going on!" He was completely treated as if he was unconsciously evading fares.
Gu Yi looked at Huzi doubtfully: "Didn't you give it? Didn't I say you would like to watch a movie?"
