Chapter 2 Plum Hunting in the City
Passing through the antique campus, a circular gate appeared on the courtyard wall due north, and there was a kind of road with sparse flowers, so you had to get a door, the door was round, and you entered through the door. "At the beginning of the extremely narrow, only to pass people", facing the water feature wall, moss bushes, a few koi fish can be faintly seen swimming in the pool, the water feature shines on the tight bamboo on the east and west sides of the wall, and the bent branches hang down on the scenery wall; There is a row of two-way faucets near the dormitory, the west side is the student bathing center and hot water room, and there is a row of two-way faucets near the dormitory; the two rows of old-fashioned single-storey student dormitories are separated on both sides, the platform topography, and the windows of the women's dormitories in the back row are just flush with the roof of the men's dormitories in the front row, which does not affect the lighting and ventilation. The two houses in front and back of the road are the special offices of the dormitory manager, and the accommodation and accommodation are integrated. All doors are printed in white and black with numbers. Behind the student dormitory is a seven-storey classroom family building, with clothes hanging on the front window, either in one or crookedly.
Liu Jianshe carried a large military cloth bag on his shoulders, and a small military wooden box with a red five-pointed star in his hand, and the "ghost brother" carried a backpack, a cover roll on his left shoulder, and a net bag in his right hand, containing basins, tooth jars, and hot water kettles. After completing the formalities at the dormitory office, "Ghost Brother" took the key and walked to his dormitory 221. The red wooden dormitory door with the paint peeled, the chain parts have been worn out by the years, and the newly replaced iron lock is shining with black light; the traces of newspaper pasted on the red wooden windows in the front and back are mottled and visible, the four wooden frame beds are placed against the wall, the red paint is specially brushed, the paint spilled on the red brick floor is faintly visible, and the bed is full of waste paper; there is a table under the front and rear windows, stained; two light bulbs hang from the front and back of the bamboo mat ceiling, which cannot be found unless you look closely, and they are mixed with the color of the ceiling.
It was clear that he was the first, choosing the lower bunk in the right hand, throwing everything on the bed in one go, and sitting on the edge of the bed, both gasping for breath. After a little rest, the two began to clean up, the "ghost brother" found the only remaining broom behind the door, and cleaned the wall around the lower bunk, Liu Jianshe laid the bedding, which was seamless and fitted perfectly; he used two bricks to pad the military wooden box and stuffed it under the window, and the things in the military cloth pocket were arranged in the box as a whole, and the two idle bags were just padded under the mattress to prevent moisture. "Brother Ghost" just brought more than half a basin of cold water, watched Liu Jianshe squat down and stand up, and said: Dad, you take a break, wipe your face, wait outside, and I'll clean up the dormitory!
The grizzled "ghost brother" went out with a pile of garbage, Liu Jianshe ripped off the towel and reached out to wipe him, but the "ghost brother" reached out and stopped him, saying: Okay, Dad, I'll go to the faucet to wash it, let's go have a meal, you also hurry up and clean up, hurry back, the car will not be able to catch up!
Liu Jianshe looked at the "ghost brother", nodded his head in agreement without thinking, and then looked around again, made sure that there was no one, turned around and untied the belt, took out a paper bag from the bag of the underwear, cleaned it up and handed it to him, and said: This is the tuition fee and living expenses, you take it, pack it up! "Brother Ghost" took it with both hands, carefully put it in his trouser pocket, and patted it on it as if he were signaling to Liu Jianjian. dragged Liu Jianshe out, Liu Jianshe said angrily: Why are you in a hurry, the car can catch up!
When Liu Jianshe heard this, he touched his head with relief, and the two of them hurriedly went out and ate half a catty of dumplings each on the left side of the school gate. Looking at Liu Jianjian's slightly rickety figure and walking with a slight limp on his right leg, his untimely outfit was incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the city, and disappeared into the bustling crowd. "Brother Ghost" suddenly had a sour nose, tears couldn't stop flowing, and passers-by also looked at him obliquely, looking up and down at his equally inappropriate outfit.
With a long sigh, he wiped away his tears and flashed into the school so that he could look away from the strange eyes. Hurriedly went to the direction of the shop window - this is what he saw intentionally and accidentally when he and Liu Jianshe first entered the school, and the window posted the progress of the third grade of the city junior high school. I was in a hurry to think about it, but because Liu Jianshe was busy all the time, I was embarrassed to leave him behind - to find the name that haunted him!
In the quiet campus, in addition to the chirping of birds in the garden, it is the sound of running water on the rockery, and suddenly there will be the sound of fish jumping out of the water. In front of the window, there was no one, "Brother Ghost" hurriedly walked over, starting from the first name, his fingers pointed down one by one - 146 names, he looked back and forth three times, and the words "Zhang Xuemei" did not appear. At first, he thought that he had been looking at the red list for too long, and his eyes were tired and flowered, so he turned to the gate of the school, facing the mountains and rivers, and looked at each other for a while. He looked back at the number of students, and the list of 147 students, and only 146 on the list, did he only miss "Zhang Xuemei". I can only pin my hope on the official opening of school tomorrow, and I will definitely meet her.
Disappointment and loss haunted in his heart, like a frosted eggplant, he passed through the round door, entered the dormitory, covered himself tightly with the quilt, the initial idea and the reality on the ground were lost thousands of miles, in the entanglement and expectation, in the soft and warm quilt nest fell asleep. In her sleep, Zhang Xuemei's shadow was vaguely visible, suddenly appeared in front of her, and suddenly disappeared into the distance, like a kite with a broken string, she only had the thread in her hand, but she couldn't pull him up, and she was dashing in mid-air far away-
A sound of "boom, thud, flutter", woke the "ghost brother" from his unstoppable entanglement, sweating profusely, and looked at the source of the sound, the sun shining into the narrow door frame, and the room was full of figures shaking—it turned out to be a new dormitory member. He wanted to continue to sleep, but the noise of fighting for the bed, the classmates on the upper bunk climbing back and forth, and the weather in the late summer and Mengqiu, the room suddenly felt hot, and the bed was also unbearably hot. I had no choice but to give up, turn over and get up, fold the quilt, sit on the edge of the bed, and look at the busy people in the room stupidly.
When everything was over, it was finally calm, and the adults hurriedly cleaned up the children and left in a hurry, with eight beds, only one of the upper bunks on the left side of the door was still empty. Maybe because the parents were there, everyone couldn't perform, and the dormitory was quiet for less than 10 minutes, and they immediately jubilated, which school, where was home, which class they were assigned to, a few miles of wow, gossiping, or lying on the bed, or sitting on the bed and starting to talk. Leaving home,The nature of escaping from the care of parents is all released.,It's like they're all classmates.。 "Brother Ghost" sat there, unable to give up, and watched the sun outside the door move from the house to the outside, and then moved down the steps - the classmate on the top bunk stretched out his head, patted the bed frame, and asked: Classmate, what is your name?
"Brother Ghost" then returned to everyone's atmosphere, and said embarrassedly: My name is Liu Guixian, and I am -- the classmate on the upper floor sat up, stretched out his head to look at him, and said: Your name is Liu Guixian, you are Liu Guixian? Everyone looked at him in surprise, and he gave a thumbs up and said: He is the first place in our county's high school entrance examination this year - Liu Guixian, I am the original county middle school, there was a math competition and you sat in front of and back, forget it!
"Brother Ghost" looked up, he didn't remember much, but he felt familiar, smiled and hurriedly replied: Oh, oh, yes, yes! He roughly heard it, basically all students in the city, all counties in the city, the superiority of the students in the city is very obvious, only the classmates in the same county are slightly better, but after a while, they began to talk about what model of computer they have seen, and he couldn't interject, he could not interject, he heard it in a fog. got up, walked around to the back door where he had been, stood at the door, looked through the fence gate at the yellow rice fields near and far, shining in the afterglow, sparkling and trembling—
