1987 My Era

Chapter 15, Very Good Looking
In fact, his acquaintance with the girl in front of him can be traced back to the beginning of the first grade of junior high school. Even though decades have passed, he can still clearly remember the scene at that time.

It was September 1st, and it was a sunny day.

When Li Heng went to class 125 with a bunch of new books to line up for registration, the originally noisy class suddenly became dead silent. The eyes of the head teacher and all the classmates were focused on the newcomer Xiao Han at the door.

I was very close to her at that time and was most impressed. It was as if this incredibly beautiful girl had walked out from a colorful cloud.

At just one glance, his heart, like that of other boys in the class, was illuminated, as if he had entered a fairy tale world.

My blood suddenly started to rush, my mouth became dry, and I felt a little nervous for no reason.

So fucking good looking!

How could such a good-looking person be hidden in this small town?
This is everyone's first impression.

Xiao Han's appearance overshadowed the entire 125 class, making everyone look dull.

I still remember that the boys and girls in the class were all influenced by others, who were leaning on their right hands to support their chins while listening to lectures, growing their fingernails, and speaking in the same tone as others.

Unfortunately, the good impression that Li Heng had slowly accumulated was completely lost because of the stool-grabbing incident, causing their relationship to stagnate for a long time, neither close nor distant, hovering between strangers and classmates.

Xiao Han and Chen Zijin are both Yang Yingwen’s best friends. With Yang Yingwen as the bond, the three girls often eat and take walks together.

But her relationship with Chen Zijin was extremely complicated. There was competition in studies and some unknown quarrels. It was most appropriate to describe the two women as "both enemies and friends."

In the first semester of the third year of junior high school, Li Heng and Xiao Han sat at the same table for a short period of half a month. Later, Chen Zijin, who was from another class, found out and directly asked the two to separate.

They didn't always get along, so Xiao Han raised his head and deliberately provoked her: "Why, you have so little confidence in yourself, are you afraid that your partner will fall in love with someone else?"

Chen Zijin said without disguising at all, "I'm not afraid, but I have to be careful of you."

Xiao Han was not the type to accept things passively, and he immediately snorted back, "Why don't you just put it on your belt and carry it with you every day?

You are the only one who is so nervous about him as if he is a treasure. Who else around you cares about him?"

Listening to the conversation between the two girls gave Li Heng a headache, so he took the initiative to find the head teacher and changed seats.

As time goes by, looking back I feel that these words and actions were particularly immature, but that’s how we got through our ignorant youth.

That was probably the time in my middle school life that I remember most vividly. It was as romantic as a rose that had just bloomed, filling the whole garden with fragrance and intoxicating.

It's just that many beautiful things, you think it's just the first warm-up of life, but in fact it's the swan song. Xiao Han, a junior high school student, and Song Yu, a high school student, when he looks back on the first half of his life in his old age, he feels that he has met the two most amazing women in his life in advance when he was young.

In fact, he could understand why Chen Zijin was wary of Xiao Han.

With a sweet voice, a healing smile, and a pure first love face, if this girl wants to please someone, few boys can resist her.

According to the majority of male compatriots: even the Black and White Impermanence cannot stop her charm.

However, Xiao Han is a two-faced person with a changeable personality, which can be sweet or salty.

When she got angry occasionally, she was full of hatred and despair. Li Heng had suffered a lot in this regard, so he naturally didn't want to provoke her.

After greeting each other subconsciously just now, the two of them looked at each other indifferently in the air for a moment, and then looked away tacitly, as if they were not very familiar with each other.

Wei Shiman, who felt something was wrong, glanced at her daughter secretly, then stared at Li Heng from head to toe, with a hint of disregard.

Li Heng was not surprised at all. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and his outfit was normal in the countryside where he had been mending for three years, but it did not look good enough in the eyes of the well-off Wei Shiman.

Especially with a straw hat on his head and a straw raincoat on his back, his clothes and trouser legs were covered with dirty water stains, and the Liberation shoes on his feet were even drier, covered with yellow mud, so dirty that they looked like a torn sack on his body. It would be strange if people would look down on you.

The Xiao family does not farm and usually lives on buying rice. The experienced Wei Shiman can tell the quality of rice at a glance, so no matter how much Tian Run'e talked, she left after not staying for long.

Li Heng remained silent until the mother and daughter left, and then he comforted his mother:
"Mom, forget it if you can't sell it, just go home and cook it for me. I'm growing now and I crave white rice the most."

When Tian Run'e heard her son yelling for white rice, she did not blame him, but just sighed:
"Manzi, school is about to start, and you and your second sister's tuition is not enough."

In the past, Li Heng was young and naive and never worried about tuition fees. In order to avoid labor, he would either stay in his room reading or carry a bucket to the river to catch fish and shrimp. Anyway, Comrade Tian Run'e would always get the money for him when school started.

He asked with concern: "How much is left?"

Tian Run'e said, "It's still about 30 yuan short."

Li Heng looked down at the four bags of rice and instantly realized that his mother was selling rice by the money today.

But unfortunately, I didn’t seem to check the almanac before going out today. After a short while, there was no movement.

...

the other side.

After walking about 20 meters, Xiao Han asked her mother, "Mom, is the rice bad? I think it's pretty good."

Wei Shiman replied: "It's not bad, but there are better ones on the market today."

Her husband is quite picky about food, so when he buys rice and vegetables, he always buys the best quality ones.

After taking a few steps forward, Wei Shiman realized something a little late. She tilted her head to look at her daughter and asked, "You know each other, are you classmates?"

"Ah."

Xiao Han hummed and nodded: "We were classmates for three years in junior high school and also went to the same school in high school."

Wei Shiman was a little surprised, "He's still in high school?"

Xiao Han pursed her lips and said, "Mom, do you think that they are not well dressed and cannot afford to go to high school?"

Wei Shiman did have this thought, but she would not say it out loud. She asked curiously:

"To be able to study in Shao City No. 1 Middle School, his grades must be quite good. Why haven't you mentioned this person in the past few years?"

Xiao Han curled her lips slightly: "I'm not particularly familiar with him, why would I mention him?"

Wei Shiman, who had not heard the other person's name clearly, glanced at her daughter and asked, "There were only six people in your junior high school batch who were admitted to Shao City No. 1 Middle School. What was his name?"

Xiao Han corrected: "There are seven. One of them got in through connections."

The "connected person" she was referring to was Zhang Zhiyong. This guy's uncle-in-law was the principal of a junior high school. They were in the same education system and had his own connections.
