Chapter 56: Those Things
After apologizing, everything was explained clearly, the four of them reconciled, leaving the watermelon, the sister and brother rushed home, and Xiaoxi told him the excuse he had thought of on the way.
The two of them rushed home a little panting, and Xiaoxi hurriedly said to Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa, we're back." ”
It's been a long time since the creek went, and the peanuts have been picked for a long time.
Glancing at it in a hurry, "Oh, yes. He took off the peanuts hanging on the peanut vine in his hand twice, and turned his head to criticize Chen Yubin's behavior of not saying hello. Grandpa Chen pointed to his hair and asked curiously, "Huh, why is your hair wet?"
Yes...... Xiaoxi turned his head to look, isn't it, his hair is wet, why didn't he see it carelessly just now? However, grandpa's eyes are too good, his inch dries quickly, and it is still a little wet, and there are a few locks of drooping on his forehead, which can be seen!
"Ah...... This hair ......, "What's the matter?" What do you mean when you see my sister making a look at herself? I have no choice but to rely on myself, think about it, think about ......it, "Ah, it's such a grandfather, I went to Zhao Juan's house to play, and I saw her washing her hair, I was also quite hot...... I sweated a lot, so I wanted to say wash my hair at her house, it was cool and cool, and I didn't wash it at home at noon, and then I washed my hair at her house, um. ”
"Oh...... What's the matter with your voice? It's like a broken gong. Grandpa Chen had long forgotten the question he was going to ask, turned around and continued to pick peanuts, and casually threw another question.
"Oh...... Ahem, throat, I just drank water and accidentally choked, and it will be fine in a while. Chen Yubin pretended not to care, but in fact, he was very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Yes, yes, he was fighting with Xiaojuan, and when he was drinking water, Xiaojuan pushed him and accidentally choked. Xiaoxi added, for fear that if grandpa asked again, it would be exposed, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, grandpa, I'll go cut a watermelon for you, it's hot, cool and cool." After speaking, he pretended to fan his cheek twice with his hand, and then hid in the stove room while pulling Chen Yubin.
No, it seems that I want to ask something, I thought about it for a while, but I didn't think about it, so I didn't want to. I glanced at it casually, and saw Xiao Hei in the middle of the yard, and the dog hair on his body was also wet, and he was lying on the stone slab to dry his hair. Grandpa Chen turned around and wanted to ask the two children what was going on, but they had already entered the house, opened their mouths and thought about it, so they started to pick peanuts again and wait for watermelons to eat.
After lying down at night, Xiaoxi remembered what his brother said that something under the water pulled him, oh my God, it can't be the legendary water ghost, shook her head, she has always been an atheist, I don't believe it very much, but what is going on, it can't be a whirlpool or something, according to the two brothers Chen Yuhong, the water surface has always been very calm. Is there really a water ghost, and how he was reborn, these are so strange, there are really gods and monsters in this world?
The next morning, the sister and brother got up at half past five, and Grandpa Chen cooked the meal early, washed and eaten, and carried the living expenses of the five yuan bill that Grandpa had just given him in his pocket, and the rice and vegetables were brought to the box yesterday. So the two of them were empty-handed, the creek was flashlight, and the three of them set off in the dark.
Grandpa Chen was at the head of the courtyard, after all, the two children lived in the school for the first time and had to live independently, so he was very uneasy to tell some ordinary things over and over again, and when he saw that the children were far away, he stood for a while before returning to the house. Anyway, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I started feeding the chickens and pigs, tidying up the house, and starting a new day.
Because Mr. Zhao was transferred to the school in the township, Mr. Zhao was responsible for bringing these children back to school safely. When the three of them arrived at Mr. Zhao's house, they found that he hadn't finished his meal. A few people sat down and waited for a while, during which they waited for Pu Xiaoli, and when they finished eating and cleaned up, Teacher Zhao took his two grandsons, Pu Xiaoli and Xiaoxi, and picked up a few on the way to the team.
When they arrived at the school, the students in the dormitory taught them how to steam rice, how to mark their lunch boxes, where to draw hot water, when to have hot water, etc., and it was almost time for class.
In the morning, they were divided into classes, Xiaoxi was lucky to be in the first class, as well as Pu Xiaoli, Luo Ting, You Huanhuan, etc., Hong Hong was assigned to the second class.
Then get acquainted with the class group and send out the book. Children adapt to the new environment quickly, and they get used to it in two or three days.
If there is anything left to Xiaoxi by this school that is the most impressive, then Xiaoxi will grit her teeth and say "go to the toilet". Ah, the toilets in the school are really dirty and messy, and they can't be described!
There is only one toilet in the school, with women on the left and men on the right, and there are more than 20 squatting pits in a row, blocked by waist-high cement slabs. In addition to the big cleaning never flushed, so a lot of pits have been blocked, in the case of cleaning let them take a long bamboo pole to dig the toilet, that is really painful......!
The school is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, which is equipped with dormitories, boiler rooms, offices and several teachers' residences. In the outer courtyard, the four-story building facing the road is the commissary, staff dormitory, playground, and then a two-and-a-half-story teaching building, and then the back playground, and the toilet is just in the back corner of the back playground, the farthest point from the inner courtyard.
At night, children basically have to get up late. The back playground is very large, only one light is hung in the middle of the teaching building, one is hung at the door of the toilet, and the toilet is also facing the road. Because there are no buildings behind the playground, and the terrain is higher than the playground, at night, the branches look terrible. It's not "safe" to go into the toilet, and there are only two lights installed in the front, which is the kind of dim light, which only illuminates the front part, and the back is pitch black, which is also very scary.
Xiaoxi's courage has always been small, so at that time, as long as she couldn't find someone to accompany her at night, she would hold her chest with her hands, lower her head and only look at the ground, and didn't dare to look anywhere, ran into the toilet, didn't take a look at the back, lowered her head and quickly finished going to the toilet, and ran back to the dormitory with her head down.
If you want to ask Xiaoxi what is the most beautiful thought left to him by this school, Xiaoxi will look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, show a perfect smile and say "pomegranate flower".
There are pomegranate trees planted all over the school, and they are not very young. There are several pomegranate trees with a radius of two or three meters from the canopy, and in May and June, the fiery red pomegranate flowers bloom all over the campus, and the fiery red pomegranate flowers can be seen everywhere, full of vitality. The only regret is that no one takes care of the fruit of this pomegranate tree, so Xiaoxi has never eaten the pomegranate in the school until now.
In the summer, it's also a great place to cool off. The pomegranate trees in the school are all fenced with flower stands, and in the summer, it is very cool to sit on the tiles of the flower stands.
If you want to say what is the most memorable thing that this school has left to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi will say "Ah...... It's a basketball game."
I said that there was a playground behind the school building, and it was a dirt floor, not paved with cement. There are basketball hoops on both sides, and the playground is very large, so this basketball court is not standardized, and it is much larger than usual.
Because the inner courtyard is one level higher than the outer courtyard, more than two meters and three meters faster. There is a platform in the middle, surrounded by a railing on the side of the road, and there are two stone tables with stone chairs in the open space, and the flag-raising platform in the middle. Further in, there are stone steps, which are one step higher than here, almost two meters high, so that the ground of the rear playground is almost five or six meters high, and the perimeter of the earthen wall is forty centimeters wide, and the stones that are seventy or eighty miles long are piled up tightly, and the gaps are blocked with cement.
Because of the irregularity of the place, all of them have a horizontal row of three bungalows, one large in the middle and one small on the other. And there is a small iron gate left next to it, which leads to the back mountain, and the garbage dump is also behind.
In addition to the flower stand, the open space left is quite large, which is very suitable for children to play. And it's a separate place, so at first, the big room above it was for the nursery children, and then they moved here.
Because the children are competitive, the boys in the first and second classes skip dinner every once in a while and compete on the back playground. When they didn't live on it before, Xiaoxi and they all had dinner, and then crowded around the window of the classroom to watch the excitement and cheer for the classmates by the way. Later, they moved to live in it, which made it convenient for them to watch the ball game, often holding their lunch boxes and lying on the chest-high wall to watch the hard work of the classmates below.
If you want to say what Xiaoxi misses most in this school, Xiaoxi will say "wooden house".
There is a two-storey wooden house in the inner courtyard, which can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer. In Xiaoxi, they later moved to the second floor of the wooden house, and the dormitories upstairs were all small rooms, one for each class, with iron shelves against the surrounding walls, and wooden boxes neatly arranged in two rows in the middle of the room.
The wooden house is the first time they have lived together in a small group, all in one class, although the wooden house is not soundproofed, and the sound of the next house can often be heard. Because there is no suspended ceiling, there are some gaps under the beams of the house, so that people can pass, and the stream climbs through the dormitory of the senior sisters from there.
If you want to say what Xiaoxi's favorite thing in this school is, Xiaoxi will confidently say "playing table tennis".
The inner courtyard is against the fence, and six ping-pong tables are built with bricks and cement. Xiaoxi only learned table tennis in the fifth grade, and the level is not bad, but unfortunately he hasn't played since he went to junior high school.
To what extent was Xiaoxi obsessed with table tennis in those two years? At noon, he held his lunch box at the table tennis table, waited in line while eating, and in the evening, sometimes he didn't eat dinner just to play table tennis. But she still didn't have the obsession of the other two classmates in the class, that is, she had to run from the teaching building in the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard ten minutes after class, and then ring the class bell before entering the classroom. After being caught by the head teacher several times, they set a rule that anyone who entered the classroom after the bell rang would be punished and swept the floor, so far, they put several tables together in the classroom to play table tennis. Alas~ You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.
If you want to ask Xiaoxi what touches her most in this school, Xiaoxi will say "cold salad folded ear root" with a retrospective taste.
It was the sixth grade, and during the lunch break, a girl was going home, and her home was close to the school, which was more than ten or twenty minutes away, and Xiaoxi and another girl accompanied her back.
When they came back, they picked a lot of folded ear roots on the road, for fear of being scolded, when the girl went to the head teacher to sell the holiday, Xiaoxi and the two of them asked her to borrow salt. As a result, she came back and said that the head teacher asked her to take the folded ear root to his house to mix.
It turned out that when she went to borrow salt, the head teacher asked more, and she told the truth, and the head teacher let him go to his house to mix vegetables, after all, there are many seasonings.
The homeroom teacher's surname is Tang, and he is Xiaoxi's second favorite teacher.
Also, there are many, many things, and I will talk about them in detail after listening to them.
