As the number of students reported to be enrolled in the school gradually increased, the beds in the dormitory were all covered with colorful sheets and mattresses, like colorful carpets. Although most of them were away from home for the first time, they were attracted by the freshness and fun of the big scenes of group life.

Half of the afternoon has passed, the residual heat is still in the air, the parents who sent the students have also left one after another, although everyone has seen for the first time, there is no strangeness, after greeting each other, they talked in twos and threes, and suddenly a raised "octave" voice suppressed everyone's conversation: "Everyone be quiet, just now Teacher Li arranged, let's pack up our things, and then take the tableware to the classroom together!"

This voice not only seemed to block everyone's mouths, but also attracted everyone's eyes in unison. The classmate who stood at the door of the dormitory to speak, he was 1.6 meters tall, square face, double eyelids, slightly chubby figure wearing a snow-white really good shirt, a pair of blue pants underneath, and a pair of black sandals under his feet.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took out their own porcelain bowls, porcelain jars, spoons, chopsticks and other tableware, and followed the guidance of this classmate, and went straight to the classroom where they were about to start their new learning journey.

The classroom is a three-room tiled room, four double tables are placed side by side, and when entering the school on the same day, you can sit in nine rows, except for the aisle on both sides and in the middle, you can only walk a single person, and then there is a three-foot podium, and a small cabinet is placed at the other end of the podium opposite the door. It was the first time that most of these children, who had come out of rural primary schools, had seen such a crowded seat. At the same time, there were also twenty or thirty little girls with ponytails and little seas. Without any scramble, everyone poured in and sat down at random, quietly waiting for a new beginning, everyone was looking forward to something, staring at the big blackboard on the three-foot podium with wide eyes.

The silence lasted only a few minutes, and no one saw anyone on the podium go up, so the slight muttering began, and after a while, it was deduced into a chatter, and it was impossible to hear what everyone was talking about, but as if there was something to say, and each other's mouths were not idle.

It was still the same student who led everyone to the classroom, walked in from outside the door, took two steps, and went directly to the podium, he didn't make any gestures, only stood still on the podium, the classroom immediately fell silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes gathered on the podium.

"Dinner will begin, Mr. Li asked me to count the number of people eating, steamed buns are set according to one, at night you eat a steamed bun on this piece of paper to write the number and your name, such as you eat steamed buns The number is one to write '1', if two to write '2', everyone understands, now everyone is passing and writing, day students, you can go home for dinner, seven o'clock to the classroom gathering. After the student finished speaking, he got off the podium, bent down and handed a piece of paper and a sharpened pencil to the student who was sitting in the first row under the podium near the classroom door. Then everyone boiled, probably around the discussion of eating a few steamed buns.

In the midst of this discussion, several day students stood up, walked out of the classroom, and went home.

The sun jumped into the roof, into the treetops, the bell rang, the four slightly older boys in the class, two by two, one group carried the steamed bread box that had just been received, the steamed bread box looked like a small vendor tied to the back of the bicycle to sell sorbet, rectangular, painted with white paint outside, the only difference is that the vendor's sorbet box has a lid, and the steamed bread box has less cover, more iron handles that can be carried on both sides, and the other group carries a large wooden barrel with a flat pole, the barrel is golden, and the outside is tightly sleeved with three steel hoops at the top, middle and lower levels, and at the same time equipped with a handle similar to other buckets, and the flat pole passes through the handleand lifted it up with ease. Laughing and walking towards the school cafeteria.

The school canteen is not very far from the classroom, only one playground apart, just behind the main hall of the Confucian Temple where the results are announced, there is already a long queue outside the canteen, the steamed buns are piled up on a large panel at the south gate of the canteen, this panel is equivalent to more than ten sizes of the home board, the steamed buns eaten by the students of the whole school are piled up on the top of the steamed bun mountain, steaming, like the sea of clouds and fog on the top of the mountain, entering the canteen, the first thing to feel is a kind of hot air, several masters in the canteen dare not slack off, although the steamed buns are so hot that they shake their hands from time to time, but they have been counting and pulling in the white wooden box。

Entering from the north gate of the canteen, next to the door is a large cauldron, one side of the pot table is the ladder on the pot table, a total of five steps, a master went up the steps, stood on the pot table, picked up a shovel with a two-meter-long handle standing on the pot table and shoveled it from the bottom of the pot a few times, and then replaced it with a two-meter-long handle, and the other end was fixed with a small bucket-like spoon, stirred a few times on the top of the pot paste, and then greeted the students below: "Which class?"

"The second and third classes of high school!" replied to the students at the front of the queue.

A master on the other side of the pot hurriedly flipped through the small book: "The second and third classes of high school, 66 people!"

"Okay!" said the master standing on the pot table, shook off his arms, danced the long spoon, scooped up the salty paste, and poured it into the vat of the second and third classes of high school. This is really news for the children who have just arrived, not to mention that they have never seen this before, even if they have never heard of such a big pot, people standing on the pot table to serve rice, and the pot can jump in and five people take a bath without being crowded.

When the two groups carried the rice back, Mr. Li was already waiting in the classroom, and he asked the students to put the rice bowls around the wooden barrel they carried, leaving a gap for one person to approach the wooden barrel, and then he personally picked up the water scoop with a handle used in the countryside, scooped up the paste in the wooden barrel, and put it into their own rice bowls.

When he saw that his classmates were bringing their jobs into the classroom, he showed a smile on his face, whispered something to the student who had brought everyone to the classroom, and walked away.

After everyone finished eating, they washed their own dishes and chopsticks, no one went far, except to go to the bathroom, or to the canteen in the courtyard to buy some necessary school supplies, and then returned to the classroom to laugh and talk about something, it was still the student who led everyone to the classroom, carrying a large wooden bucket in front of the water faucet in front of the classroom to wash, this scene happened to be accompanied by Ma Facheng from the commissary back Mu Zhen saw, he pulled Ma Facheng, to the direction of the water faucet, and whispered: "Let's go over and help!" Ma Facheng immediately agreed, and the two walked over to help wash up.

"Thank you, my name is Yan Dongfang, what about you?" asked Yan Dongfang as he brushed the barrel.

"What's polite, my name is Ma Facheng, the method of the method, the success of the Cheng. His name is Mu Zhen. Ma Facheng replied first.

After brushing the wooden barrel, the three of them carried the wooden barrel to the side of the classroom door and put it down, at this time Mu Zhen found that the wooden barrel was not very light, and it was obviously a little difficult to lift it alone.

The sun father-in-law shyly turned red, indicating that the curtain of the night is about to open, the four long lamps in the classroom are lit up, the countryside of the year, there are very few people who can be connected to the electric light, even if the rural areas with electricity, the family is only connected to a few red light bulbs, such long lamps are only occasionally seen in the commune supply and marketing cooperatives, but the families with them are still rare, even though the lights are much dimmer compared to the current high-power energy-saving lamps, but compared to many rural kerosene lamps that were not supplied with electricity, it is already like a "magic lamp" in the sky.

Sitting in the classroom, the students have just met each other, but they are like acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time, and they communicate with each other happily, and the classroom is chattering and buzzing, after all, there are more than 70 people, and the space is limited.

Less than a minute after the electric bell rang at the west end of the row of offices in the south of the campus, Mr. Li, the head teacher, strode onto the classroom podium and knocked on the lectern twice with a brand-new blackboard, the hustle and bustle in the classroom came to an abrupt end, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves outside the window, and Mr. Li's opening remarks began: "Congratulations on entering our class, from today onwards, you are middle school students, this is a new beginning for everyone's lifelong study and life." Now there are a total of 72 students in the class, of which 50 students are selected from more than 800 reference students, and the other 22 students are recruited by us in the future, but whether it is the best or the supplementary recruitment, each of our students is the top of the primary school class, I am honored to be your class teacher, and I will be proud of your future in the future! In order to facilitate everyone's communication with me, I will appoint a class leader first, and ask Yan Xiguang to stand up!"

The boy who was sitting in the middle of the class, who had led everyone to the classroom, stood up.

"Please introduce yourself to everyone!" Mr. Li cast a trusting look.

"My name is Yan Xiguang, from Huli, thirteen years old this year, we are in the Lake District, it is not easy to go to school, so I applied for our middle school, I will live with you in the future, study together, and make progress together, thank you!" Obviously, Yan Xiguang's speech was clear, and his words revealed firmness, without the slightest timidity, which won the praise of all the students. It is no longer a suspense to designate Yan Xiguang as the class leader, from the moment he led everyone to the classroom, everyone recognized him, and he was the class leader of this class.

When the applause fell, Teacher Li waved his hand to Yan Xiguang and said, "Please sit down!"

After a pause, Mr. Li continued and asked with concern, "Do you think Yan Xiguang introduced him well?"

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

"Well, all of us are here to introduce ourselves. According to the order of seating, they will be introduced in turn, and after one student has finished the introduction, he will automatically sit down, and the student next to him will follow. After Mr. Li finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the first student sitting in the first row to the south: "Please come first!"

"My name is Li Daoming, I am from the Li family of Qinghe Commune, I am twelve years old this year, I am very happy to be admitted to this school, I will study hard in the future and make progress every day!"

"My name is Niu Guojun, I am from Zaoyuan Village, Shanxiang County, not far from here, I am thirteen years old this year, I am lucky to come here to go to school, I hope you can help more in the future!" turned around and nodded to the class.

"My name is ......"

The students introduced in turn, it is really not a loss to be selected from the county outstanding students, all the students, regardless of gender, although they showed a kind of immaturity in their self-introduction, except for a few voices on the low side, no one showed timid behavior.

After listening to everyone's introduction, Mr. Li was very pleased, he smiled, and said in conclusion: "Everyone is not only from our county, but also from neighboring counties and beyond, it is not easy for everyone to come together, the ancients said well, a lifetime of classmates and three generations of relatives, you sit under the classmates, are three lifetimes of relatives! No matter where you go in the future, where you are, you will remember each other that you have studied and lived together in Gucheng No. 1 Middle School, and help each other, support each other, and spend this wonderful time!" When Teacher Li said this, he was a little excited, and looked around the entire classroom, "Did you say that?"

Everyone was encouraged by Mr. Li's words, and once again responded in unison with "Yes!" Although the language was short, the strength was very strong, showing the firmness implied in the children's childish spirit.

"There are many people in our class, give you a student number, this student number is like the number of the army, if there is no major change, this student number will accompany you for three years, I will announce it below. According to what I heard later, the student number is ranked according to the test score at the time of admission, and the student number is the first in the class at that time, because it is divided into two classes, the first in the total score is in the first class, and the second place is in the second class, which crosses each other and is assigned to the two classes in order. It is precisely because of this that among the students who have persisted here for three years, the student number has not changed.

After briefly putting forward a few requirements, Mr. Li asked everyone to line up outside the classroom, the boys stood in a line, the girls stood in a line, and the two teams lined up in turn from short to tall.

After the light class, everyone went back to the dormitory to rest, from the end of the day to the light off, the time was only half an hour, everyone prepared in a nervous and orderly manner, and then each entered their own bed, according to Mr. Li's words, the requirements of not talking nonsense when sleeping, no one violated the rules, maybe the children were too tired after a busy day, maybe it was an underage child after all, the light had not been turned off, and there was only a low snoring sound in the dormitory when sleeping.

When the morning wake-up bell rang, the children who were used to sleeping at home got up from the bed with a grunt, hurriedly put on their clothes, and gathered in front of the dormitory.

The school's large playground is not in the campus, but a vacant lot adjacent to the campus, the playground is easy to compare with the home grain field in the eyes of the children, not only is it much larger, but also there are several neatly arranged basketball hoops, and the light on the ground in front of each rack is obviously the traces left by playing basketball. Directly north of the playground, there was a large high platform, on which a slightly chubby teacher stood and blew his whistle, waving incessantly to the queue that poured into the playground below.

The queue is based on the class, from the junior high school to the high school, lined up, when each class stands according to the marked position, the teacher on the high platform said loudly: "Today we have two new junior high school classes, the head of the team is done by the junior high school class, please listen to the password, the first class of the junior high school, turn left, walk in unison!"

The queue of the first class of junior high school is according to the first boys and then the girls, and the male and female queues are arranged from short to tall, and the four boys standing at the front are the shortest in the class, but they are about the same height, and among the four people is our protagonist - Mu Zhen.

When the last class stepped onto the runway, it was almost connected with the first class of junior high school to enter the runway. Such a grand team, in the eyes of the children who have just entered the school, can only be seen in the movie lens.

Although some of them are just a few words, these scenes have aroused the children's infinite love for the collective life of the first high school and brought infinite enthusiasm to the new life they have started.

The life of Yizhong, full of passion, and poetry, was unveiled in a scene that the children had never heard of.
