Seeing that Christmas is coming, this Western festival has not yet become popular in Eastern countries, but it is gradually gaining popularity among students.
Stores around the school began to sell various greeting cards with "Merry Christmas" printed on them. Li Wei naturally did not miss this business opportunity and went to the wholesale market in the city in advance to buy a batch of greeting cards. Before Christmas day, the greeting cards were sold out.
Li Wei has no interest in this Western holiday, but it has something to do with her, because her birthday this year happens to be Christmas Eve.
After this day, she will be fifteen years old. In ancient times, fifteen years old meant that a woman was old enough to get married, and she had to perform a grand ceremony of hair extensions. When she was in Daqi, Li Wei had already gotten married before she could even hold her haircut. When the day came, her mother and sisters came into the palace to congratulate her on her birthday, and they watched the drama for a day and that was it. But her eldest sister's haircut ceremony was held with great grandeur, and she still remembers it vividly.
But many traditional things have been lost in this era. Now that her parents are busy with business in the city, they naturally have no time to take care of her birthday. It's even less likely that the uncle's family will remember this trivial thing.
Li Wei got up early and ate a bowl of porridge with the pickles at home, then hurriedly rode to school.
When I arrived at school, it was just in time for morning reading, and I was dizzy from the four classes in the morning. At noon, Li Wei still ate at school. The rice was steamed in a metal lunch box that he brought with him. It only cost a small amount of money to buy one or two dishes.
Today, Li Wei bought a rare portion of green pepper meat. When she returned to her seat with the food, Li Chunxiao was doing the questions.
"you're not eating?"
"It's too late, it's due soon. I still haven't written half of it." Li Chunxiao hurriedly rushed to do his homework. He didn't even raise his head at first, but he smelled the aroma in Li Wei's lunch box and couldn't help but take a look. , smiled and said: "Hey, is it a tooth beating ceremony today?"
"Would you like to try it?" Li Wei naturally couldn't tell that today was her birthday, so she bought a meat dish, but she was still generous enough to invite Li Chunxiao to taste it together.
Li Chunxiao declined: "I don't care about eating, but can you give me your homework to copy?"
"If the teacher sees that our answers are the same, the secret will be revealed soon, right?"
Li Chunxiao said: "It's nothing important, it's not an exam."
Li Wei handed over the English exercise book generously. Li Wei lowered his head to eat, and Li Chunxiao was busy with his homework. There were not many people in the classroom at this time. After Li Chunxiao finally finished copying her homework, she returned the exercise book and lowered her voice and said to Li Wei: "Have you finished processing all your goods?"
"We're almost done with it. Whatever you want, I'll go back and see if I have it. If not, I'll help you keep an eye on it next time I go to restock." Li Wei's goods sell well thanks to Li Chunxiao's promotion for her.
Li Chunxiao said: "I advise you to restrain yourself recently. Someone reported you and said that you disrupted the order of the class. Teacher Song Song has been included in the list of key concerns. If you are caught, the whole school may criticize you and even I want to confiscate your things."
Li Wei naturally had to pay attention to the situation. She said, "Thank you for telling me this. It seems that I can't sell it anymore in the short term."
Li Chunxiao had finished copying the homework and returned the exercise book to Li Wei. He took another look at the situation in the classroom. It was lunch break and there were not many people in the classroom. Li Chunxiao no longer had so many scruples. She lowered her voice and said to Li Wei: "Do you know who reported you?"
There weren't many people who really had grudges against Li Wei. She could roughly guess the range, but she wasn't sure yet. She said solemnly: "Please tell me."
"It's Zhu Haiyan."
When she heard the name, she wasn't much surprised. She said very calmly: "It is indeed her." During the friction during the summer vacation, Zhou Bin's last appearance seemed to really make her lose face, so she kept staring at Li Wei, waiting for her to make a mistake. The money matter is actually not a big deal. She had promised Liu Chunzhi not to cause trouble again, so she should keep her word. Therefore, I decided that I would no longer engage in small business and it was time to call it a day.
It was the winter solstice, and the days were getting shorter. By the time they finished four classes in the afternoon, it was getting late and it would be dark soon.
Li Wei went to the carport to push the cart and happened to meet Zhu Haiyan. She remembered Li Chunxiao's words. Li Wei stood behind her and looked at her silently for a while, but in the end he made no move.
Until Zhu Haiyan noticed someone looking at her from behind, and suddenly turned around to see Li Wei standing behind her, she was obviously frightened.
"Li Wei, you're going to scare me to death." Zhu Haiyan gave Li Wei a rare smile.
"What are you guilty of?"
"Guilty, I don't feel guilty." Zhu Haiyan felt that Li Wei's eyes were a little scary, so she quickly pushed the car and started to leave.
"Then why are you afraid of me? Have you done something wrong?"
"No way." Zhu Haiyan was so stared at by Li Wei that her hair stood on end, and she quickly rode away.
Li Wei also unlocked the door, and when he was about to push the cart, he discovered something terrible. The tire of her car was punctured, and it was impossible to ride on the flat tire.
Now I have to push the car back. The car repairman on the street has closed down his stall long ago, and he will not be able to ride back tomorrow.
Li Wei's fifteenth birthday was not beautiful at all. She pushed the car out of the school gate with some frustration and hurried home slowly.
As night falls, some people have already turned on their lights. Li Wei felt in a mess and pushed the cart very fast. For returning so late, Zhang Weihong would definitely be scolded.
This is nothing short of the worst birthday ever.
By the time she entered the village, she could no longer tell the path under her feet. The shadows of the trees were dancing, and there seemed to be a person sitting under the big tree. Li Wei felt a little scared for no reason. She felt cold and subconsciously wrapped her clothes tightly.
Just when she was about to rush home, someone suddenly stopped her from behind: "Wei Wei!"
The voice was familiar. Li Wei's feet froze, and he looked back in a hurry. This figure seemed familiar. Is he the second brother? !
"Why are you back so late?" Li Jianbo has been sitting under the tree waiting for Li Wei for nearly an hour.
"I can't ride anymore, so I walked back." But why did Li Jianbo suddenly appear here today? Today is obviously Tuesday. Didn't he go to school
"Is the car broken? Let me help you repair it when you go back."
"Can you repair cars?" Li Wei looked a little surprised.
Li Jianbo smiled and said, "Ah, you doubt me?"
"No."
Li Jianbo pushed the cart for Li Wei, and the brother and sister took advantage of the night and headed home.
