Chapter 20 Schools

I parked my car next to the entrance of Lefan's elementary school. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The school gate is not closed, and standing in front of the school gate, even if I am already in my twenties, I can feel the feeling of youth rushing to my face.

Seeing the two of us standing in front of the school gate for a long time, the people not far away looked at us a little strangely, but maybe it was more of a habit. Perhaps, they are also former students of this school.

The gate of this school is not very large, and it is built in a very regular manner. It is surrounded by a wall nearly two meters high, and there are four big red letters on the school gate, 'Hope Elementary School'. Seeing these four words, I basically understood the origin of this school.

The school gate is directly opposite the teaching building, from the perspective of the main entrance, the school is roughly divided into four parts, the teaching building is at the highest place, and then there is a passage with an iron gate to the next floor, which should be the only way to enter the teaching building.

On the next floor is a row of rooms with closed doors, I don't know what they're used for for the time being, and there's a small space in front of the room. There is a sloping stone staircase in the middle of the field, and on either side are two flower stands.

The two flower stands on the left and right are planted with flowers and plants, and there are a few laurel trees on the side.

There is also a three-story building near the river, the top floor is connected to the school building, the second floor is in the middle, and the first floor is on our side.

The main entrance is located on the ground, with four table tennis tables and two badminton courts.

Walk a short distance to the left and go down a short stone staircase to the school playground.

Behind the school is the road, and we went around the back of the school.

At the gate, you can still see the same road we came from, and the river goes down to the left of the school.

The road in front of the main gate closes after passing the main gate, and in its place is a concrete path that winds its way to 'paradise' below.

Standing at the school gate, you can see the small four-corner kiosk below.

There are still people bathing and playing in the 'heaven' now, and their voices can still be faintly heard from so far away.

"Let's go in and have a look!" I whispered to Le Fan.

Le Fan looked at the school quietly, for a long time, but still nodded.

As soon as he entered the school, Le Fan walked towards the playground on the right, but stopped at the staircase that led to the playground.

There were a lot of trees planted on this floor, so I took my umbrella and walked over to stand beside Lefan.

Lefan's primary school is not big, and there are a few big words on the passage below the teaching building, 'Xu Yiqin Hope Primary School', this should be the school funded by the person named Xu Yiqin!

It is said that it is the same as a playground, but it is actually the size of a basketball court, and there are two basketball hoops on the left and right.

At this time, I realized that there were many small people in exercise drawn with stick figures on the school wall next to the playground. Footballers, badmintoners, rope skipping ...... Although the painting is simple, it is very vivid.

There are also four small flower stands in the four corners of the basketball court, planted with four small-leaved privets, but because no one prunes them during the holiday, the branches and leaves of the spherical small-leaved privet have grown.

In the middle of the playground from us, there is a three-meter-wide floor that is about the same length as the playground, and there are stone stairs on both sides leading to the playground.

There was a simple flag-raising stand at the back of the middle of the rostrum, but now the flagpole was empty.

Le Fan looked at the rostrum next to him, and then suddenly lowered his eyes slightly and smiled softly.

I turned my head to look at her, wondering why she was laughing this way, whether she was happy to see a familiar environment, or because she was moved by seeing a school I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Did I tell you that when I was in elementary school, I was also the flag-raiser of the school, but only as a deputy." Le Fan suddenly spoke.

I turned my head to look at her in surprise.

I only knew that she was the flag raiser of the junior high school, because once when I was looking at her junior high school photo album, I saw a photo of her wearing white clothes and black pants, tied in a high ponytail, and walking with the national flag.

I was surprised to hear her say that she was also a flag raiser in elementary school.

Le Fan smiled again and said: "However, at that time, how did I understand the meaning of the flag raiser, but I just felt that it seemed to be a very honorable thing to be able to stand in front of so many people and raise the flag." ”

I nodded.

"In fact, this flag-raising platform is completely different from before." She paused again, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Or rather, there are too few places in this whole school that can find the same place as before. ”

As she spoke, her voice became a little muffled, and there was a slight sentimentality in her eyes looking at the school. Time flies, and maybe in a few decades, the things around you will never be the way they once were.

So things are, and so are people.

Le Fan looked at the simple flag-raising platform, "At that time, the flag-raising platform was not in the middle like it is now, but on the left. In the past, there was a stone staircase in the middle, but the stone stairs on both sides did not exist, and the rostrum was not like it is now, but was divided into two parts by the stone staircase. ”

"At that time, the rostrum was actually the left part where we were, and there was no middle floor, I remember that there was a concrete railing on the left at that time, which was as high as a desk. At that time, our desks were wooden desks where two people sat together, not the single-person desks in schools now, so there was a '38th line' ......."

Le Fan sighed low and then laughed again: "Every time there is a opening ceremony and a holiday ceremony, the principal will always let people move two desks and put them together, and then spread a beautiful tablecloth on them, and then I will tell me some messy precautions, at that time, I always feel why he has so much nonsense, and he has to talk about it every semester, hehe......"

"But what I didn't expect was that kind of precautions, we had to hear about high school graduation all the time."

I smiled as Le Fan hooked my lips.

"Originally, there was a stone wall more than two meters long, and there were murals of the Great Wall on it, but I forgot what was written on it." Le Fan smiled lowly.

"The floor on the right is about the same height as the current rostrum, but there is a tall tree planted on it, and I am afraid that the tree will not be able to hold it even if I am alone now, but then the school will be rebuilt and cut down." Le Fan's tone was full of pity.

"In the rightmost corner of the middle floor, there used to be a path that could be climbed directly from that path, but now it doesn't work."

I followed Le Fan's gaze and saw that there was a two-meter-high and three-meter-wide platform on the opposite side of us now, behind the right side of the rostrum, connected to the floor of the house above.

The distance between the elevation of the first floor of the house and this floor should be about two meters, and the distance between this floor and the altitude of the playground must also be more than two meters. However, there is now an additional rostrum between this floor and the playground.

The high platform we saw was surrounded by a flower platform with some small flowers and plants, and in the middle there was a stone tablet with several large red lacquer filled characters.

On the right side, that is, next to the rostrum, it has sunk down about 30 centimeters and built a flower platform, on which a lot of evergreen trees are planted.

The path that Le Fan said should be the path that can lead to the stone platform of the stone tablet. Now, only the stone wall that connects to the rostrum can be seen.

"In the past, when we were in physical education class, we didn't like to come down from the stone stairs over there, but either came down from the path or jumped directly from the flower platform next to the stone monument, which was not high anyway."

I looked and saw that the right side of the stone platform was only more than a meter high from our floor, and it didn't seem to be high.

However, they are still elementary school students, and it seems that they are also skinny enough to jump down like this.

Le Fan smiled and looked at the rostrum and continued: "In the past, our school was rotten, although it was said to be made of cement, but there were cracks everywhere, and there were always a lot of weeds growing in the cracks. ”

Le Fan laughed twice.

"So at the beginning of each semester, we can always see such a scene, groups of small primary school students with their sickles and other farming tools to school, all of them are rural children, and we bring our own tools to the school to weed at that time."

Le Fan smiled to himself, with nostalgia.

"At that time, the playground of the school was not as smooth as it is now, and whenever it rained, the playground was always waterlogged, but even so, it did not affect our enthusiasm at all during physical education classes. The backboards used to be made of wood, but now they are made of glass, and I remember when the school first installed the glass rebounds, they were smashed. ”

She suddenly turned her head to look at me, her eyes shining, "Russell, I used to like to play basketball very much, and I used to play basketball very well. ”

Le Fan's words surprised me again, "Playing basketball? "I don't believe it, after all, Lefan's height really doesn't look like he can play basketball.

Le Fan smiled happily, she turned her head to look at the rebound, "Yes, I like to play basketball very much, don't look at me short now, but girls generally develop early, and I was considered tall in the class when I was in junior high school, but it's a pity that I haven't grown since I went to high school." However, I only liked to play basketball for a while in junior high school, and I rarely touched it after I was in high school, but I often watched the boys in my class play. ”

I didn't speak, and Le Fan was silent for a few minutes.

"When I was in junior high school, I was a well-known female basketball player, and I was not much different from the boys."

She suddenly laughed and said, "Hehe, I remember that I had a boyfriend, the one who likes to shave bullets, do you remember?" ”

I frowned and thought for a moment, then relaxed my expression, hooked my lips and smiled and nodded 'um'.

"He was my junior high school classmate, and when I was in junior high school, I thought he was very girly and very obscene." Le Fan smiled indifferently and said bad things about others, "I don't even know why I agreed to be his girlfriend later." He shook his head involuntarily as he spoke.

"He doesn't particularly like to play basketball, but he's a decent height, hey, I remember when I was in junior high school, I was about the same height as him, and when I got to high school, I could only go to his shoulders when we met again."

Le Fan sighed.

"He would rub the court from time to time, I remember one time we were playing basketball together, and when I was attacking him, I don't know if I was too strong or he was too skilled, and then he tripped over me, and his jeans were torn holes, so my reputation as a woman was completely solid."

Le Fan glanced at me helplessly, and I quickly withdrew my full smile.
