77. Trance
On the 26th, there was a break for the holidays, and on the 27th, I returned to school at 9 a.m., and the school organized and arranged for the students to go to the county together.
This is the school's arrangement two days before the high school entrance examination.
Got up on the morning of the 26th, several students rode home without eating, Bai Dongsheng also went back, yesterday Zhang Dongming told Bai Yan not to come to the store today, let her accompany her brother at home.
Zhang Dongming didn't eat breakfast either, he was in a hurry, and after a few students left, he went to the station right after.
Since he took it once more than half a year ago, this is the second time Zhang Dongming has taken this morning bus to the county, mainly because he really has no sense of security, and he can't remember exactly when he was in 03, and there was a very serious traffic accident in the morning bus from Beishan Township to the county.
Today, too, the 19-seater passenger was squeezed into more than 40 people, and the driver stopped pulling it up, and then the seriously overloaded passenger car was trembling on the winding mountain road.
I was frightened all the way, and Zhang Dongming arrived in the county at almost ten o'clock.
first went to get 3,000 yuan, and then went to buy a box of ink clay, Zhang Dongming took a three-jumper and went to Yigao.
In about 20 minutes, Zhang Dongming got off the bus at the gate of a high school.
Because of the need to occupy the examination room, the students have been on the month-end vacation, and the doorman is not allowed to enter, Zhang Dongming watched at the door for a while, men and women, and from time to time there are figures coming out of the teaching building.
Then coincidentally, Zhang Dongming saw Tang Wan, white shirt, jeans, simple ponytail, this girl's dress is no different from when she was in Beishan Township Middle School, simple and natural.
Tang Wan didn't look at the door, she came out of the nearest teaching building and walked towards the teaching building in the distance, and entered the teaching building after a while.
Zhang Dongming didn't call Tang Wan either, watching her enter the teaching building in the distance, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and left.
The location of a high school is on the outskirts of the county, and at this time in 02, if it weren't for supermarkets, restaurants, clinics, and barbershops near the school, the rows of bungalow yards looked no different from the countryside.
Zhang Dongming walked slowly around the school, and when he looked at the suitable courtyard, he knocked on the door and asked if he rented a house.
Yes, Zhang Dongming wants to rent a house and rent the high school entrance examination for two days.
Rural middle schools are not like urban junior high schools, and students have no place to eat and live during the high school entrance examination.
So there is no way, in general, during the two days of the high school entrance examination, students in rural middle schools either live in hotels or hotels under the leadership of teachers, or simply do not live in the county, and run back and forth by car.
In the case of Beishan Township Middle School, because it is too far away from the county, it takes five points on the way back and forth, and it is unrealistic to run back and forth by car, so every year in the high school entrance examination, the team leader teacher and students live in a hotel together.
Obviously, the hotel environment is too unfamiliar and inappropriate for students, and if they can't eat or sleep well, it will definitely affect the students' exam status.
Zhang Dongming didn't want such a factor to affect the exams of several students, so he came to rent a house today.
However, a total of 17 students from their school came to take the high school entrance examination this year, and Zhang Dongming must not be able to manage so many people, what he can manage is his own students.
After all, it's not a rural area, and the yards of every house are not so big, but there are seven of them, and they live in two houses, at least three rooms larger than the family, so Zhang Dongming turned around for a long time, either he didn't like it, or the people he liked didn't rent it, in short, he didn't find a suitable one.
At this time, I passed by a family on the side, the courtyard door was open, the yard was very clean, the house looked upright from the outside, and a woman who looked in her thirties, with a good body and clean and simple clothes, was washing clothes in the yard.
"Ahem, eldest sister, do you rent your house?" Zhang Dongming happily entered the courtyard.
The woman looked up at the young man in his twenties who entered the hospital, looked up and down for a while, and asked, "What are you doing, why are you renting a house?"
Zhang Dongming said slowly: "I am a teacher, a rural middle school, this is not the day after tomorrow, our students are in the first college entrance examination, students come to the exam and have no place to live, live in a hotel or something is not good for the student exam, I am thinking about renting a house in this neighborhood, just rent it for three days, tomorrow after the big one, after the big one, after the big one, I will leave, and I will leave after the exam in the afternoon." ”
The woman looked up and down carefully at the young man in front of her, a little too young, but he looked polite and polite like a teacher, and it was not new to rent a house, and there was no high school entrance examination, but every year after the college entrance examination, there were students waiting for the assessment to rent a house: "Which township are you a teacher, how many students are there?"
Zhang Dongming said: "Beishan Township, six students, count me seven. ”
The woman nodded, counting her, the two houses are a little crowded with eight people, but it will be nothing in three days: "If you want to rent, one person will be 20 a day, no matter the food, and ah, the quilt and mattress don't care about anything, and there are not so many at home." ”
Zhang Dongming nodded, the woman led him into the house, the house was very clean, about the same size as his house, it was also an east and west house, and the middle outhouse, in short, it was very good.
Zhang Dongming asked: "Eldest sister, if I rent, can you call the shots now?"
The woman said: "Yes, my man works outside, and my children live in the second junior high school. ”
Zhang Dongming nodded, in fact, from some details of coming in, he guessed that this eldest sister might live alone, for example, the big pot of clothes she washed was all women's, for example, there was no one living in the West House, and there was a single futon on the kang in the East House, for example, the food on the table was a pair of dishes and chopsticks......
Zhang Dongming took out six hundred yuan and handed it to the woman: "Sister, I rented it." ”
The woman looked at the money in Zhang Dongming's hand and was a little confused, and she didn't take it: "Aren't you just seven people renting it for three days, and you won't live in the last night, you won't need so much, three hundred is enough." ”
Zhang Dongming slowly explained: "The eldest sister is like this, my students and I will come over tomorrow at noon, and leave in the afternoon after the eldest year, in order to give my students the best rest environment during this period, I thought that the eldest sister, you will completely rent this house and yard to us, which means that you don't stay at home and don't come back, this extra 300 is for the eldest sister to eat and stay outside during this period." ”
After speaking, Zhang Dongming took out another five hundred yuan: "These five hundred words are the deposit I paid, when the time comes, eldest sister, when you come back, if you see that something at home has been damaged by us, you will deduct it from here, and I guarantee that I and the students will never mess around with things at home, if you find out by then, eldest sister, you will deduct all the five hundred." ”
Give three hundred more, listening to Zhang Dongming's first half of the words, the woman is not going to agree, but after listening to the second half of the words, there is nothing to worry about, there is a deposit of five hundred, and there is nothing valuable at home, besides, don't you just not go home, it doesn't make any difference if she goes to Liping's house in the West Courtyard for two days, she can also take care of the house.
The woman agreed, and Zhang Dongming also gave money.
In fact, Zhang Dongming rented a house and planned to write a contract to sign it, and the ink was bought, not a matter of money, mainly because he was afraid that what kind of fork would affect the exams of several students, but this eldest sister looked very honest and honest, and Zhang Dongming felt that there was no need for that.
The two got to know each other briefly, Zhang Dongming knew that the eldest sister's surname was Chen, and then went to match the key with this eldest sister Chen, and then Zhang Dongming said that at six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, he would send the student over with a mattress or something, and he would take a taxi back.
When I got home, it was almost two o'clock, and I said hello yesterday and said that I was using a car, Zhang Dongming called Erzhuang in the front yard of Gongli Country and said that he would come over at three o'clock.
After cooking half a handful of noodles, after eating, I put a few students' quilts and mattresses in bags, Zhang Dongming just lay on the kang and Gong Fei called, and there was nothing serious, the two of them chatted casually for a while, and Erzhuang came.
The six students stuffed the van with their luggage and then got on the highway and headed for the county.
In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, Zhang Dongming can buy a few sets of simple bedding for a few students in the county and it doesn't cost much, or pull them over when he goes to the county with the students tomorrow.
However, just like renting a house, Zhang Dongming wants to create the most accustomed and relaxed environment for several students, and try to remove external factors that may affect the examination status of several students.
The speed of the van was limited, more than three points, and when it was almost half past six, Zhang Dongming arrived at Sister Chen's house.
Sister Chen was packing up her clothes from the clothes pole in the courtyard, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw Zhang Dongming coming: "It's so far and back and forth, isn't it different to take it together tomorrow." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it down. ”
Zhang Dongming didn't say much, and he and Erzhuang began to carry their luggage from the car to the house.
Then Zhang Dongming found that the house was much cleaner than when he came in the morning, and many things in the house had been cleaned up by Sister Chen, and the two cabinets were also locked.
"Sister Chen, I forgot to say it in the morning, I still have to cook at your house for more than two days, mainly because I am afraid that the students in the restaurant outside will eat a diarrhea or something that will affect the exam, of course, rice, noodles and rape or something, I will buy it myself when the time comes, and then I will add another hundred yuan to you. ”
"No, just how much gas you can use for a few meals, and besides, you can give an extra three hundred. ”
This eldest sister Chen is really sincere, and she said that she wouldn't accept it, but Zhang Dongming still forced the money to her.
Then after a few simple words, Zhang Dongming and Er Zhuang drove away.
Then it was almost seven o'clock, Zhang Dongming was not too hungry, but the second strong man didn't eat, and the two of them ate at a restaurant directly opposite Yigao before going back.
It was more than three o'clock on the road, and when I got home, it was already half past ten in the evening, washing my feet on the kang, turning off the lights on the bed, and within two minutes, I heard Zhang Dongming's gentle "whirring" sound.
The next morning, after dinner, just after eight o'clock, a few students came by bicycle, in fact, they could go directly to school, but they all came habitually.
Then looking at the empty kang, several students were a little confused, wondering where their quilts and mattresses had gone.
"I'll take it all to the county. Zhang Dongming looked at several students with a smile.
"Take the county?" Several students were even more confused, looking at Zhang Dongming blankly and not knowing what was going on.
Zhang Dongming briefly said the situation, although several students knew what was going on, they still didn't quite understand that it was not good to live in a hotel with other classmates, and they had never lived in a hotel yet.
Although they didn't understand, a few students didn't ask much, they knew that the teacher must have a teacher's reason for doing this, and Zhang Dongming's words didn't explain much.
At half past eight, Zhang Dongming and a few students went out to school, and when they arrived at the school, the school's chartered bus was already waiting at the door.
At nine o'clock, before leaving, Gong Liguo gave a mobilization speech to 17 students.
I don't know what it was like in previous years, but today's mobilization speech by Gong Liguo was impassioned, anyway, his eloquence was much better than Zhang Dongming's, and the students were also very encouraged.
Then in previous years, the school arranged two teachers to lead the students, and this year's three were arranged by Vice Principal Chen, Director Wang and Zhang Dongming.
As for the reason, of course, Zhang Dongming wants to lead a few students in their class alone.
At 9:20, get in the car and set off.
Along the way, the bus was full of students' laughter, and in the face of the high school entrance examination that will come tomorrow, the students were more looking forward and excited than a little nervous in their hearts.
At 11:50, the bus arrived in the county.
The students have never been to the county much, and people like Bai Dongsheng have not even been to the county once.
As soon as they got out of the passenger station, they kept looking around, looking at the high-rise buildings for them, the traffic was busy, and people came and went...... The immature little faces were full of novelty and excitement.
Everyone separated at the bus station, Vice Principal Chen and Director Wang led 11 students to the hotel arranged the day before yesterday, and Zhang Dongming led his six students to take a taxi to the first high school.
In about ten minutes, Zhang Dongming and several students got off the bus at the gate of a high school.
At noon, there were no students to step on it, and the doorman uncle who came out of the door, and there was no empty figure in the school.
"A high school. ”
"Hmm!"
"This is a high school ......"
Clean roads, green playgrounds, tall school buildings......
Several students stared blankly at the first high school that they didn't know how many times better than their school, muttering one after another, their eyes flashing one after another.
Zhang Dongming looked at a few students with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the place where we live first, let's come over in the afternoon and go around the school." ”
"Hmm!"
"Good!"
"Good ......"
Leaving the school gate, although there are restaurants and supermarkets nearby, they are all bungalows, similar to the countryside, and then go inside is no different from the countryside, and a few students have no novelty along the way.
In five or six minutes, the group arrived at Sister Chen's house.
Sister Chen was waiting at home, watching Zhang Dongming lead the students to come, the last little worry was gone, and she explained a few words to Zhang Dongming and went to the West Courtyard.
Several students have their own futons, or four girls sleep in the west house, Zhang Dongming and Bai Dongsheng Ma Hongxu sleep in the east house, the environment is similar to Zhang Dongming's house, even the quilt is their own, several students have no freshness and no sense of resistance, in short, it is very not a big feeling, similar to usual.
After sitting for a while, at one o'clock, Zhang Dongming led a few students to a restaurant at the entrance of a high school to eat, and he didn't order any special dishes, such as shredded potatoes, eggplant in sauce, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It was almost two o'clock after eating, and there were already schools and students who had come to step on the point, Zhang Dongming didn't wait for Director Wang and them, and led a few students to enter a high school with the admission ticket.
As soon as Zhang Dongming and a few students entered the school, a group of students happened to come out of the school.
There are more than a dozen students in this group, and then two teachers are leading, and these students are all very novel and excited on their little faces, and they look like them, they are also from rural schools.
Zhang Dongming didn't care about it at first, but when this group of students passed by him, Zhang Dongming's body suddenly stiffened.
