Chapter 59 A Morning of Mistakes
The last day of the school week is Friday.
After practicing hard for four mornings and four nights, Liu Zhiyi finally decided to show his strength and made an appointment with Fang Wei, Cai Ling and A Sheng to ride bicycles to school together.
The three-person team from Donghua Village still set out from Fang Wei's home at 6:50.
The school uniforms distributed two days ago have been washed and dried. Friday is also the day the school requires students to wear school uniforms, so Fang Wei put on his new school uniform today.
Even though it is September, the weather is still quite hot, so the school uniforms are naturally summer clothes.
Unlike the blue and white winter clothes, the main part of the summer school uniform is white, with only the collar and the cuffs being blue. Paired with a pair of blue school uniform pants, it is very light and cool to wear.
The reason why the school requires students to wear school uniforms on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is actually a helpless move. After all, whether it is summer clothes or winter clothes, there is only one set, and you can't wear the same school uniform for five days. Apart from the time for changing and wearing regular clothes, you need to wear school uniforms on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
In fact, only Mondays are strictly enforced. After all, there is a flag-raising ceremony on Mondays and students are required to wear school uniforms. Wednesdays and Fridays are a little more relaxed and teachers won’t say anything if you occasionally don’t wear them.
Of course, after the second and third year of junior high school, many students who like school uniforms wear them five days a week, because new uniforms are distributed every school year, and if the old uniforms can still be worn, there is naturally no need to worry about the problem of changing and washing them.
Fang Wei carried his bag, locked the door, warned the cat on the wall not to run around, and walked out of the yard pushing his bicycle.
The girl from next door, wearing the same school uniform as him, a white baseball cap, and riding a light green bicycle, appeared in front of him on time.
"hey-hey."
"What are you giggling about?"
Xu Cailing looked at him with interest and said curiously, "We are wearing the same clothes! Don't you think it's funny?"
"Are there any different school uniforms?"
"Your school uniform looks so big! What size is yours?"
"Large size."
Xu Cailing was stunned for a moment, then laughed jokingly: "How dare you fill in such a large size! I only filled in a medium size. You are not even as tall as me, how dare you fill in a large size?"
"Don't make a fuss. In half a year... no, three months, I will definitely be taller than you!"
"Tsk, I don't believe it~!"
Having said that, Fang Wei actually regretted filling in his height information too high. When he put on the school uniform, it was obviously one size too loose.
But it’s okay... It’s more comfortable to wear looser clothes, that’s the only way I can comfort myself.
The two people who had never worn school uniforms wore the same clothes for the first time. They carried their schoolbags together and rode side by side on the road. They looked youthful and sunny.
Soon, they arrived at Fang Yuansheng's house.
A Sheng, who had been waiting at the door, had also put on his school uniform. When he saw them, he rode his bicycle to join the team.
After all, it is the first week of school, and as freshmen, they don’t have to wear school uniforms this week, but the three of them all wore new school uniforms today without any prior agreement.
"I was worried that you two weren't wearing school uniforms. It would be awkward if I was the only one wearing them!"
“This is called telepathy!”
"Hey, do you think the three of us look like regular soldiers?"
"Navy or air force? Infantry or cavalry?"
"Of course the one riding the bike is a cavalryman!"
Listening to these two innocently talking about these terms, Fang Wei was hesitant to speak, and he was sure that his heart had become dirty. He had to reflect on himself...
In fact, young boys and girls these days are quite naive. After all, mobile phones are not popular and the Internet is not well developed. The information they can access on a daily basis is quite limited, not to mention the remote islands where information is even more isolated. When the teacher talks about some relevant knowledge, the girls in the class will blush.
If this is put forward in 20 years, I guess primary school students can say "Mom and Dad, if you have any questions, you can ask me."
When I rode to the entrance of the village, I saw Mr. Li enjoying the cool under a big lychee tree.
"Master Li!"
"How about our new school uniforms?"
"Haha, I ate it, I ate it..."
"It's a school uniform! School uniform!"
Master Li finally heard it clearly. He was still smiling, but he sat up straighter from his hunched back in the chair. He squinted his eyes and finally saw it clearly. He praised:
"Very spirited! Very spirited!"
"We walked!"
"Haha, study hard and make a name for yourself in the future!"
The three boys and girls rode away on their bikes, and the old man lay back on his chair, gently shaking the tattered palm-leaf fan in his hand.
Time flies by so fast...
The scene of three baby-like figures running around in front of him and climbing on the litchi tree seemed to have happened just yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, I have put on my school uniform and went to the town to attend junior high school...
People's perception of the length of time changes with age. When we are young, everything is new and time seems very long. But when we get older, once our lives become regular and repetitive, we will feel that time passes quickly.
Eight years, ten years, maybe in Mr. Li's eyes, this is only one tenth of his life, but in the eyes of the boys and girls, it is almost all the memories of their lives. ...
Fang Wei and his two companions rode along the country road and soon arrived at Shayang Village.
Liu Zhiyi, who had decided to ride a bike to school with them this morning, was already there, sitting on her bike with her schoolbag on her back, waiting for them at the gate of the yard.
After all, it was his first time to ride a bike to school and his first time to ride such a long distance, so Liu Zhiyi was quite nervous.
Sometimes I worry about safety issues; sometimes I worry about whether I will slow down the entire convoy and delay them.
So when they were not here yet, she did not sit idle and practiced by herself beside the yard gate.
From a distance, Liu Zhiyi saw three people riding bicycles coming from the other end of the country road.
Just as she was about to muster up the courage to join in, she noticed that Fang Wei and the other two were wearing the same school uniform.
"...!!"
She looked down at her outfit, still wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.
No... She remembered that Teacher Wen said that they didn't have to wear school uniforms this week...
In fact, Liu Zhiyi also wanted to wear a school uniform, but she was afraid that no one else was wearing one, and it would be awkward for her to wear it alone.
Now that Fang Wei, Cai Ling, and A Sheng are all wearing school uniforms, the effect is reversed. Whoever is not wearing a school uniform will be embarrassed...
"squeak--"
Brakes squeaked and three bikes stopped in front of her.
"Zhiyi! Let's go!"
"Why are you all wearing school uniforms... Did you make a date?"
"No, everyone just happened to be wearing it, so I just wore it."
"Can you wait for me for a moment? I'll go change my clothes. It'll be quick!"
"It's okay. Didn't Teacher Wen say that I don't have to wear it this week?"
"I... better go change it!"
It is true that they don’t have to wear school uniforms, but they all wore them. As a member of the four-member team on Pineapple Island, Liu Zhiyi felt that he had to wear one too.
So he hurriedly got out of the car, stretched his legs, opened the yard door and ran back into the house.
"Zhiyi? Aren't you going to school? Did you forget to bring something?" the grandfather in the room asked curiously.
"Forgot to wear a school uniform!"
There was no time to explain. Liu Zhiyi ran back to the room and quickly changed into the same school uniform as them. Then he grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the room again.
"Grandpa, I'm going to school!"
"..."
Uncle Liu was stunned. It had only been less than a minute, and his granddaughter had changed her clothes, faster than the face-changing of Sichuan Opera...
……
Outside the yard, Fang Wei, Cai Ling and A Sheng were all sitting on their bicycles waiting for her.
For a moment, I couldn't understand why Liu Zhiyi was so obsessed with wearing the same school uniform as the other three. Of course, Xu Cailing thought, if it were her, she would probably run back to change clothes... After all, it would be too uncool to have different styles of clothes in the same team.
After a while, Liu Zhiyi, who had changed into school uniform, appeared in front of the three people.
She ran out of the house in a hurry, as if she was afraid that the three people would wait for a long time, with her heavy schoolbag and long ponytail swaying behind her.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."
Liu Zhiyi looked very apologetic. Originally, she was the one waiting for them, but in the end, they were the ones waiting for her. Fortunately, she still changed into the same school uniform with them.
Because she ran so fast, the girl's face was hot and red. With the blue pants and white shirt school uniform on her, she had a kind of pure beauty like a lotus in clear water under the morning sun, and she wore the same school uniform in a different style.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's still early." A Sheng said.
"Zhiyi! You look so good in your school uniform!" Cailing said.
"You don't ride your bike anymore?" Fang Wei said.
"Hmm? ...Ah! Yes, my car..."
Liu Zhiyi finally realized that when she ran out of the door, she subconsciously ran in front of the three people. She thought she was going to take Cailing's car like she did a few days ago, leaving the white bicycle that she had managed to control alone and messily parked at the gate of the yard...
If the redness on the girl's face just now was due to heat, then the redness on her face now was due to shyness.
Seeing her run back to the yard gate dejectedly to ride her forgotten bicycle, her friends couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The girl's face turned redder.
What a morning full of mistakes...
