The development of Sioux City in 2005 can be described by the word "ever-changing", Xinghu Village was originally dusty and dusty when it rained, the muddy road became a concrete road, and the potholed main road became a dark asphalt road. Not to mention the development of urban areas, parks. Minibuses have also been eliminated in favor of buses that can reach all corners of the city.

On August 31, because Xu Jianguo was working in Yuecheng, Xu Daozhi was accompanied by Wang Fang and his grandfather Xu Fucai to take a bus to Furui Middle School to report. Xu Fucai's original place of work was closed down due to poor management, and now he happens to be at home, and he goes to the construction site to find something to do if he has nothing to do.

Since the admission letter had been received as early as the summer vacation, Xu Daozhi knew which class he was assigned to, so as soon as the three of them arrived at Furui Middle School, they directly found the class reception of class 10. Xu Daozhi also saw his homeroom teacher for the next three years, Wang Zeshan.

Wang Zeshan seems to be the kind of teacher who is more serious, and he didn't communicate too much during the registration process, but just determined Xu Daozhi's identity according to the process, and then took a slip and asked Xu Daozhi to go to the Academic Affairs Office to pay the fee.

I found the teaching office, got the meal card and the daily necessities issued by the school after queuing up to pay the fee, and then directly followed the signs on the road to find the dormitory building where Xu Daozhi lived, and when I entered the building, I saw the floor arranged by each class, and Xu Daozhi lived on the third floor. Then a list of the students who lived in the dormitory was posted on the door, and Seo Daozhi quickly found it, because his dormitory was in the first room 304 after the left turn on the stairs. After asking the dormitory manager to get the key, Xu Daozhi entered his dormitory.

The dormitory at the school is not large, with a total of eight beds including bunk beds. Xu Dao's house is far from the school, so it took a long time to come, and by the time I arrived at the dormitory, there were already five beds with bunks. Of the remaining three beds, Xu Daozhi chose a bed on the left side by the door. Then they started to lay their own bedding and mosquito nets. Mosquito coils are not allowed in student dormitories. So there is only a mosquito net, which is included in the daily necessities prepared by the school for students. Wang Fang put the basin or something into the bathroom, opened the bathroom door, and saw a drainage bottle placed on the side against the wall inside, and couldn't help but say with annoyance: "Hey, when I set off in the morning, I felt that I didn't bring anything, and I forgot to bring a hot water bottle." Hey, this memory. Later, I will get some hot water and wipe the straw mat. I don't know where to get hot water in the school. Xu Daozhi listened to it outside and comforted him: "Mom, it's okay, didn't we see a lot of department stores and supermarkets when we were outside, just go there and buy them when the time comes." After hearing Xu Daozhi's answer, Wang Fang couldn't help but say: "The things on the side of the school are very expensive, and I know that you students want to buy them, but I really don't know that firewood and rice are expensive." Hearing this answer, Xu Daozhi didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't answer and concentrated on making mosquito nets. It's about being able to sleep soundly at night. Xu Fucai heard the conversation between the two and didn't say anything, just sorted out the clothes he brought from home one by one and put them in an empty cabinet.

After the three of them were busy with everything, Xu Fucai looked at his watch and it was already half past twelve, so he said: "It's half past twelve, I'm hungry, let's go eat" Xu Daozhi is at the age of development and urgently needs to absorb nutrients from food, so he was hungry very early, but he saw that his grandfather and mother were busy, so he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to eat. Now that my grandfather brought it up, I was naturally very happy. The three of them closed the door and went downstairs to lunch.

The school is surrounded by private houses, and the school is usually not allowed to leave the school, so there is no visit around. There are only some department stores and supermarkets that sell some of the students' daily necessities. These are all things that Xu Daozhi saw on the way here. So the three of them came to the school cafeteria to eat, and by the way, they inspected the taste of the school food. There are also a lot of people in the cafeteria. But fortunately, the new students entered the school today, and the canteen made preparations and increased staff, so the queue was not slow, and the meal was quickly prepared. The Xu family has a rule that food is not spoken, so the three of them finished eating silently. Left the cafeteria. In the process of leaving, I exchanged the taste of the cafeteria. "In general, there is no taste of dark food. I can enter. ”

After leaving the cafeteria, Xu Fucai proposed to walk around the school to familiarize himself with the school environment, and by the way, find out where the boiling water room is. After all, there's still a straw mat waiting to be wiped. After hearing this, Xu Daozhi also readily agreed, and he also wanted to see where he would live for most of the next three years.

Furui Middle School is also a prestigious school in Suzhou. Therefore, there is no shortage of hardware facilities. During the tour, Xu Daozhi and they found the location of the boiling water room. There are already some sophomores and juniors in high school, and some parents are fetching water. The water room is a water ticket for one time with a ticket, and 60 water tickets for 30 yuan are not only sold.

After buying a hot water bottle, Xu Daozhi fetched water and Wang Fang, and Xu Fucai returned to the dormitory. When I entered the dormitory, I found that everyone had already arrived, and the room was crowded. Then it's about introducing each other. They are, Xia Qi, Zhu Xiaoren, Yang Jie, Zhang Jun, Xu Derong, Chen Xiangmin, and Cheng Hua.

Several classmates just met and their parents were there, so they didn't chat too much after introducing each other, and the parents were the same, and the atmosphere fell into awkwardness for a while.

Finally, because Wang Fang was far away from home, and there was really nothing to do, he was ready to leave, and before leaving, he explained to Xu Daozhi: "Your grandfather and I are going back, you study hard in school, listen carefully in class, and don't desert." You are not in good health, pay attention to the warmth and cold, and call home if there is anything. Anyway, you have a phone in the dormitory, do you know?" In fact, Wang Fang is still very relieved about Xu Daozhi, but it is the first time for the child to live away from home, so he still can't help but nag a few more words.

Xu Daozhi heard that his mother was worried about him, so he comforted: "Mom, don't you know how I read, and I'm in good health now, and I don't have any colds." Don't worry, I'll call you back if something happens. ”

Wang Fang didn't say anything more when she saw Xu Daozhi answer like this, so she packed up her things and prepared to go home, when she went downstairs, Xu Fucai deliberately took a slow step, secretly stuffed her grandson with two hundred yuan and said: "You can take these two hundred yuan, take it to buy something to eat, don't let your mother know." At this age, Xu Daozhi has not yet felt too deeply about the love of his elders. I just feel very happy to have money, and grandpa is the best person in the world for him.

After stuffing the money, Xu Fucai immediately went downstairs. The rest of the parents also packed up their things and went home after seeing Xu Daozhi's parents leave.

At half past seven in the evening, Xu Daozhi and the others entered the classroom for the first evening self-study in his life. The evening self-study in this class doesn't do anything, just hand out the books they need to study next. Then the class teacher spoke, and then there was self-study.

A month later, the school conducted the first monthly examination, and then divided the class cadres and the study committee members of each subject according to the results. And Xu Daozhi is also familiar with his high school career.
