Chapter 8 Join the Young Pioneers and wear a red scarf
In the second grade, the school did a student transfer. I was in the first class of the second grade, and it happened that Wang Lei was in the same class as me.
When I was in the second grade, I was already older, and my mother only told me to go out to play by myself, and I didn't take much care of me.
Not long after entering the second grade, the new children are about to join the Young Pioneers, and it is a very grand thing to become a Young Pioneers. On that day, the school had a very grand ceremony, first of all, each class paraded around the playground, played the music of the sports day on the loudspeaker, walked seriously under the guidance of the teacher, and then stood under the rostrum in order of the class. The atmosphere was solemn and serious. After standing, the music stopped, the field was quiet, the principal talked to the students who were about to join the Young Pioneers, I don't remember what they said, after all, the sound of such a big playground was faintly echoed, and there were many words that I couldn't understand. Because the school is built along the mountain, the stairs from the second floor of the school building are just the playground, and when you look back, you can see the playground railing and the upper half of the school building. After the principal finished speaking, the music started again, and the students walked to the rostrum in rows, and there were big brothers and sisters in the fifth grade waiting there, according to the teacher's teaching, we raised our right hands together above our heads to salute and take an oath, and then the big brothers and sisters tied red scarves to us. Then we all became glorious Young Pioneers and became the successors of socialism. Everything is so novel. Looking at the red scarf on the chest, it was bright red and bright, and it was beautiful.
* The ceremony, the bright red scarf, returned to the classroom with a satisfied mood. The teacher said: "The school stipulates that you must wear a red scarf to school every day in the future. "Needless to say, the teacher said that we all carry it every day, but, after a long time, "Where's your red scarf?" asked the big brother and sister who are in charge of school discipline. "Oh, in the pocket. "Be sure to bring it, otherwise you will be deducted from the class grade and criticized." "Uh-huh, okay. "Take out a red scarf and tie it around your neck. "Wait a minute, that classmate. A classmate was walking on campus and was stopped by the disciplinary officer, "Where is your red scarf? Why didn't you bring it?" A classmate looked at his chest, turned over his body and said carefully: "I forgot, I left home." "What's your name, which class?" a student reluctantly said his name, his class. The disciplinary officer is then written down in a small notebook. A classmate left with trepidation. Perhaps, when he returned to class, his teacher was already waiting for him, facing a lecture and criticism, and possibly punishment.
Something similar happens from time to time in all corners of the campus. At this time, the students suddenly discovered that if the Young Pioneers wore a red scarf, they would still carry these troubles. Maybe I got up late in the morning and forgot about the red scarf, forgetting that there is always a red scarf, and it will be good to take it next time. However, if you lose it, who would dare to say that you don't lose something. If you lose it, you have to find a way. There are some sold in the market to buy one, and some families will think of some strange ways, such as making a piece of red cloth and cutting a triangle, such as some are more outrageous, I have seen a child lose a red scarf and use red underwear to get a belt to deal with the inspection.
It's okay to talk about being caught once in a while, but you can't always be caught many times, and then you are reprimanded by the teacher many times. Once, Wang Lei and I came down from the playground and happened to be bumped into by the disciplinary officer who was going up the stairs on the stairs, and it happened that neither of us had red scarves. It may be that the classmates of the disciplinary committee reminded and warned that they were annoyed and didn't ask why they asked directly: "What is your name? Which class are you from?" Looking at the serious face, Wang Lei spoke first and said, "My name is Li Ming, from the second class of the second grade." Then he asked, "What about you?" I felt in my pocket and found the red scarf inside, and said, "Mine." "Take it!" said the classmate sternly. "Well, okay, okay. "I hurried back and took it with me. After waiting, I said to Wang Lei: "Hello cow!" Wang Lei smiled, he looked back, and then said, "Run!"
Wang Lei's method was slowly used by many people, and then, the students of the disciplinary committee were also familiar with it, and then, they investigated it more strictly and carefully, and then the students became so bitter. Either you don't dare to go out of the classroom...
Winter is coming, the weather is getting colder, and the students are wearing thick clothes. My mother made me a pair of cotton pants with the kind that opened inside the strap. I'm reluctant to let me wear it, I'm so old, how do you let me go to the toilet when I wear this kind of clothes, I have to squat when I urinate, it's a shame to be seen by my classmates, it's so shameless. But I can't screw my mother, so I have no choice but to wear it. Every time I go to the toilet, I have to observe, see that there are fewer people, no one pays attention to the toilet, I can only think about looking forward to it, hoping that the winter will pass soon, or hope that the weather will be warmer sooner. There is no way, who makes there is a good-looking mother who feels good-looking, and there is a kind of cold that makes my mother feel cold, that kind of cotton pants are so troublesome to wear, put on pants after putting them on, put on a gown outside, no matter how hot it is outside, I don't dare to untie the gown. One day, I may be in a hurry to go to the toilet, and the red scarf has fallen off, and I can't find it. When I returned home, I complained to my mother, but I was more worried about how to go to school tomorrow without a red scarf. I'm not even in the mood to eat. My mother rummaged through the cabinets and found me a piece of red cloth and cut two triangular ones. Although the color is a little different from the color of the red scarf, it is always red, so I have to make do with it.
With the passage of time, the turmoil of the red scarf has gradually faded, and the school is no longer so strict in the investigation. Especially in the second half of the second year, there are no more people on campus who are walking around to check that they are not wearing red scarves. Discipline is gone, and the students are slowly ignoring it, so that they even have to forget about the red scarf, and wearing the red scarf has become sometimes forgotten, and sometimes they have forgotten to take it off. During class, the teacher does not tell me over and over again, and emphasizes it over and over again.
The main topic of school is always learning, and academic performance is always the most important thing in a class. But with rankings, there are firsts, and then there will be last-only firsts. Unfortunately, there are 4 classes in the whole grade, and our second grade class will always be the last first place...
Fortunately, our homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhao Xiaoping, always said this after our test results came out: "This time the test is not bad, the overall score is above 90." Or, "This time is good, the average score is higher than last time, and it deserves encouragement." If the exam is really bad, Mr. Zhao will not criticize him harshly, but will only say: "Is it too much, students, you have to work hard." "More encouragement and humorous advice to the students brought good senses. It can be seen that most of the students in the class like this homeroom teacher very much.
