This is the end of the first year of schooling. Ah Fei's parents really don't want Ah Fei to continue to stay in this town, and if they continue to mingle, they are afraid that their children will be no different from those who are angry.

The issue of children's education has deeply aroused their attention. What to do. Changing schools was the only way, so Fei's parents contacted the surrounding schools and went to another urban area.

It was a short drive of about 2 hours. The school is also in a small town, but the reputation of the school is very good, there are a lot of high school enrollment places, the name is the key experimental middle school, the school has a lot of students, just one grade nine classes there are more than 1,000 people, a junior high school is about 3,000 people.

It's going well, and if you're willing to spend money and figure it out, there's nothing difficult about it. Ah Fei went in and was placed in the second class.

The bad thing is that this school is a boarding school, except for a small number of local children who can go home, most of them come from different places.

In Ah Fei's dormitory, there are a total of 5 bunk beds, which can accommodate ten people. On the first day of school, Ah Fei's mother accompanied Ah Fei to school and chose a top bunk in the dormitory.

After paying the study fee, Ah Fei's mother held Ah Fei's way and obediently went to study. Come back early every weekend holiday and stay safe on the road.

This seems to be the words that every parent will say to their children when they say goodbye. After speaking, he gave Ah Fei another fifty yuan, afraid that the child would have no pocket money at school, Ah Fei's mother left, Ah Fei looked at his mother's figure and her nostalgia, it was the first time he was alone, and the classmates in the dormitory were not in the same class.

After a week of contact, he felt that people were not so difficult to get along with. Here, Ah Fei became very diligent, helping to turn on the water for his roommates, buying breakfast with his meal card, and cleaning up the environmental sanitation of the dormitory, and soon the small group was integrated together.

Ah Fei's homeroom teacher's surname is Bishop Xie, that is a talented middle-aged man, not tall with glasses, Ah Fei likes his classes very much, for Chinese homework and books, he knows everything clearly, every time he reads ancient texts, the passionate and frustrated long sentences, by the strong male voice, expressed vividly.

Since then, Ah Fei has developed a strong interest in languages. In the first week of school holidays, Ah Fei ran to the intersection of this town early after classes on Friday afternoon, waiting for the shuttle bus home.

The school gate was crowded with people, including vendors, teachers and students at the school, and many parents who drove to pick up their children.

At that moment, Ah Fei finally longed for what it was like to be home. Ah Fei remembers a long time ago, the first poem his mother taught him, I am born to be useful, many years later, Ah Fei still through this sentence, to constantly comfort himself, in fact, Ah Fei's family when he was a child was not poor, in that remote town on the street, rented a small storefront, Ah Fei's mother is a craftsman.

Ah Fei learned from his grandmother that when he was a child, his family was extremely poor, and Ah Fei's grandmother raised seven children alone.

Ah Fei has three uncles. My mother, the youngest sister, dropped out of school a long time ago to learn tailoring with a teacher, and reading was really a dream for many people at that time.

The high tuition fee is not something that anyone's family can afford, and after marrying Ah Fei's father and giving birth to Ah Fei, the two parties went to Guangzhou to work hard.

How many people in the south are obsessed with it, the high-speed economic construction in the eighties is well-off, and later Ah Fei's mother resolutely decided to resign and return to the countryside, just because of the blood and bones that made her worried, they rented a façade house on the street of the town, doing a commissary, and on the other side is Ah Fei's mother's tailor cabinet, the daily expenses are maintained by Ah Fei's mother, otherwise his family will not buy this land by saving in the future.

Before going to the province, Ah Fei slept with his mother, although he was eight or nine years old at that time, and in the eyes of others, he should have been separated from his mother a long time ago, but the store was too small to accommodate two beds.

In this small town, this street is full of mahjong parlors and pubs. Every day from morning to night, there are people who constantly urinate on the side of the street, there are old men who drink a lot, there are young people who are addicted to gambling, and there are also many middle-aged people who go to see the excitement.

In such a market, there is a variety of flavors of life. Every time a canvas movie is shown in the village, many people carry the benches at home to watch, they have never dreamed, they may not have gone out in their lives, the changes in the world have no effect on them, they only know when the crops in the field should be watered, and they should be fertilized.

Spending two cents on the street in the evening, slapping a jar of sorghum or soaked bud rice wine, and gossiping with other people about some gonzo is the same life for decades.

Before Ah Fei and his mother went to other provinces, they entrusted all the items in the small shop to Ah Fei's grandmother, and the tailor's cabinet was also covered with cloth, and her grandmother went to buy some fragrant wax watches to do business on the first or fifteenth day of the new year.

Knowing that Ah Fei was going home, the long-lost joy was overflowing on the faces of his parents. Ah Fei's mother, like us, cooked a lot of delicious food at home, and when Ah Fei came home, the first thing he said was to hug his mother and say, I miss you so much.

In the past two days, Ah Fei did not go out to play, and surrounded his parents all day long. Cherish this short moment.

Under a dormitory in the school, there are several families whose conditions are much better than Ah Fei, and at that time Li Ning and Anta were very popular, and when there was a pair of Anta pants or shoes, they had to cast envious eyes like him.

The comparison between classmates may have been evident at that time. Ah Fei never asked his parents to buy him any brand-name clothes, for him, this is exploiting the labor of his loved ones.

Maybe many of his friends in his hometown are not as good as him in terms of dress, and envy is just envy.

Ah Fei and his mother have been in the province for almost four years, and in these four years of life, there have been many changes in their vision and thinking about things.

Every time the lights go out, it is when a few of them smoke on the balcony at the back, for the students, there is never any addiction to smoking, more just imitating the appearance of adults, once it is Ah Fei's turn to be on duty at the school gate when their dormitory is out of school, Ah Fei took advantage of the teacher's absence, bought a few cigarettes in the small shop opposite the school gate.

Many people who came out of junior high school understood what this smoke meant, and when they returned to the door after buying it, they found that the teacher was there.

The school is very strict about the management of smoking. Catch it once is to directly notify the parents to come to school, maybe the second time is to be expelled from the school, the teacher looked at Ah Fei and came back and asked, what are you going to do.

Ah Fei replied and walked around the door, but the teacher didn't believe it and went to buy cigarettes. Ah Fei didn't speak, he knew that the more he argued at this time, the more the other party would feel that it was true.

What's in your pocket? The teacher continued. I don't smoke, there is a steel shed in my pocket, if you don't believe it, you can flip through it, and after saying that, Ah Fei stretched out the bag with a few cigarettes to the teacher.

But he didn't put his hand in, there would only be two results at this time, one teacher really used his hand to turn over Ah Fei's pocket, then everything was completely over.

Deception at the end of the period is not allowed to abide by the school rules. The consequences speak for themselves. But the result was another, the teacher replied, I know, I don't turn over your pocket, you tell me to turn over I, I will turn over.

Back in the dormitory, Ah Fei was still thinking that if it really flipped over, he would follow it. After the incident, Ah Fei felt that the more impatient he was, the more things would happen.

After half a semester, the school organized a week-long outreach training, and it was at that place called Angu that Ah Fei would always remember later, where he said that he first fell in love with a girl.
