Chapter 25 School Anniversary
The day after the Qingming Festival, the Zhang family prepared to leave for the city.
The things that should have been brought were packed up last night, but this morning, Zhang's mother walked from this room to that room again and again, looking empty, and when she saw Zhang Yunqi, she said: "You can help me think about it again, is there anything I haven't brought, oops! Look at my memory, I just remembered and forgot something, and now I can't remember anything." ”
Zhang Yunqi smiled: "Mom, you have asked me three times about this, everything you should bring is bundled, don't think too much, let's set off when the car comes." ”
Zhang's mother shook her head with a smile, then found a snakeskin bag in the yard, packed up all the things that were not needed in the city and would break down here, and sent them to Zhang Xiaomei's next-door neighbor's house, and handed over the key to Zhang Xiaomei's father Zhang Haijun for safekeeping, so that he could help take care of the house.
Zhang Xiaomei's mother took Zhang's mother's hand and said enthusiastically: "Eat breakfast at my place, save you from firing again, and then you have to clean up, it's too troublesome." ”
This is the case in the countryside, if you are generous to him, he will be generous to you, and if you slam the door at him, he will not let you drink a sip of water.
After breakfast, Zhang Yunfeng and the driver drove a truck from the town, the family loaded the bundled things into the car, Zhang Haijun's family also came to help, and many villagers with bowls of breakfast rushed to the front of the ping to watch, everyone was very enthusiastic, and Zhang's mother pulled reluctantly, so that she had nothing to do often to go back to the village.
When the things were about to be moved, Zhang Yunqi jumped down from the truck and saw Zhang Guorui with some surprise.
Zhang Guorui seemed to be just passing by, standing outside the courtyard of his neighbor Guohua's house across the door, smoking a dry tobacco stick with Guohua, and then carrying a hoe to the direction of the field, but when he was at the door of Guohua's house, he glanced at Zhang's house from time to time, and he had already exposed a certain anxious but helpless emotion in his heart.
Zhang Yunqi smiled, turned his head to Zhang Yunfeng beside him and said, "Big brother, you have just passed the first difficulty this trip to the west to learn the scriptures." ”
Zhang Yunfeng's face was inexplicable.
Zhang Yunqi didn't say anything more.
After the things were put in order, the family got into the car.
When the truck started, Zhang Haijun took out a large firecracker from his home and set it off, and in the sound of "crackling" firecrackers, under the sighing eyes of the villagers, the family drove away from this small village where the Zhang family had lived for generations.
The truck went to Longwan Town Middle School first, and Chunlan was going to study at night tonight, so she had to be sent to school before they could go to the city.
On the way there, Zhang's mother kept holding Chunlan's hand and instructed her to go, but Chunlan was a sensible and thoughtful child, and she didn't show too much reluctance, even if the truck arrived at Longwan Town Middle School, after getting off the bus at the instructions of her mother and two brothers, she still smiled and waved goodbye.
It wasn't until she watched the truck start, drift away on the dirt road, and gradually disappear into her eye sockets, that she couldn't help but have a sour nose and red eyes.
******
It took more than two hours for the truck to enter the city, and after coming to the residential area opposite the Education Bureau, the family moved the bundled things upstairs together, and Zhang Yunqi ran to the kitchen to make tea for his mother, who looked at the huge house and all kinds of high-end furniture and electrical appliances, and smacked her tongue.
Just arrived home and was too lazy to start the fire, Zhang Yunqi found a restaurant outside and had a big meal with the family.
While eating, Zhang Yunqi touched Zhang Xiaoxiao's head with a smile and asked, "Xiaoxiao, how does it feel to live in the city?"
"It's so fun, there are so many beautiful houses and cars, and there are many, many times!" Zhang Xiaoxiao held a chicken leg in one hand and a Coke in the other, and said excitedly with wide eyes: "By the way, second brother, when will you take me to the zoo to see the giant pandas?"
Zhang Yunqi smiled dumbly: "Another day." ”
This change is destined to be indefinite......
After eating, Zhang's mother and Zhang Yunfeng began to be busy with the last work before the opening of the fishmeal shop at home, as well as Zhang Xiaoxiao's transfer to Gusuling Primary School.
The weekend is over, and Zhang Yunqi goes back to school.
On April 7th, the day before the school anniversary, the gate of the city No. 1 middle school began to set up a post, and the high-end cars on the campus suddenly increased, and the school band responsible for greeting them blew the trumpet and beat the drum over and over again to show the grandeur of the welcome, and the stadium was shrouded by a hydrogen balloon with banners, Zhang Yunqi felt that no matter how hard he worked, he could catch up with the configuration of "Flying House Travel".
On the day of the school celebration on April 8, except for the third and third grades of junior high school, all students in other grades of the city No. 1 middle school were suspended, and the students either studied in the class or went to participate in the school celebration activities.
The school celebration activities are very full.
From the afternoon of April 8th, the alumni symposium will be held, the morning of April 9th, the opening ceremony of the school celebration activities, the academic lectures of outstanding alumni and the report of outstanding alumni deeds, and the highlight of the two-day celebration at 7 o'clock in the evening, the 88th anniversary of the school will be held in the gymnasium.
On the first day of the school anniversary, Zhang Yunqi was busy with his feet on the ground. In the morning, he first went to Wenlou Street to bring five custom-made palace fans back to school, and then watched the final rehearsal of the dance team in the music room for a while.
In the afternoon, he participated in the distinguished alumni deeds report.
The glorious history of the city No. 1 Middle School for nearly 100 years, there are many celebrities who go out from here, and there are many masters who are awesome and coaxing, and several famous masters at home and abroad are invited by the host to come to the stage and talk about the glorious years in the city No. 1 Middle School before.
Since it is reminiscing about the glorious days of the past, bragging must be indispensable, and it just so happens that the stage of the alma mater is suitable, so the big names on the stage are all pointing at the country and scolding Fang Yu day by day, and the little fools in the audience are confused.
Zhang Yunqi didn't listen to a word.
There was no time.
After he entered the door with the free tickets issued by the school, he hung the press card of the Jiangchuan Evening News, which he had obtained for 100 yuan, around his neck, wore a black cap with a low brim, and shuttled through the venue with a Konica Hexar camera in his hand.
In front of each guest's table, there is a sign with the name and title of this group of masters written on it. Zhang Yunqi took pictures of them openly, no matter how good they looked, the point was to take pictures of their faces and desk signs.
After the shooting, Zhang Yunqi left the venue and found a Koda processing shop outside the school to develop the photos.
A roll of film from the time it is fed into the machine to the time the photo comes out, 2 hours is enough, of course, because the cost of the liquid to develop the film is very high, it cannot be used repeatedly, so if the number of photos developed is not enough, under normal circumstances, the boss is not happy to start the machine, and in special cases, it is to add money.
After getting the photo, Zhang Yunqi went home directly, and discussed with his eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng that he would go to the canteen of the No. 1 Middle School in the city tomorrow to make Qifengdu fish meal.
After more than half a month of practice, now the taste of Zhang Jiqi Fengdu fish powder made by the eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng is almost the same as that of him, in fact, as long as you know the recipe and study the soup well, it is easy to master.
It's just that tomorrow's scene is not small, and there can't go wrong, there are some small details and ways to deal with any accidents, and he has to check with his eldest brother.
The two brothers discussed until eleven o'clock in the evening, and then went back to their rooms to rest, Zhang Yunqi lay on the bed and looked at the photos developed in the afternoon one by one, until the names and faces of the important people in it were imprinted in his mind, and he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
I didn't sleep for two hours.
Around three o'clock in the morning, he got out of bed.
The eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng had already gotten up, and after preparing the ingredients for boiling Qifengdu fish meal, Zhang Yunqi washed up, and moved all the things to be used to the door with the eldest brother.
When he went downstairs, Zhang Yunqi suddenly remembered that today was Hatsumi's birthday, so he turned around and went back to his bedroom and put the gift for Hatsumi in his pocket.
