As the sky grew brighter, two of the children began to leave the different courtyards with their school bags on their backs, heading in the same direction, "Luli! A call from the back made him stop, turned his head to look over, it was three children running towards him back and forth, led by a black and thin boy, his name is Dong Yuqiang, there are many children in the family, he is the sixth, and there are two younger siblings below, living in Wangjia Hutong Ertiao; Beside him are a pair of brothers, or rare twins, surnamed Ding, named after Cong and Ming, and there is a brother and a sister on it, so others call them junior and fourth. It's all his classmates.

Lu Li and a few classmates walked all the way, and when they saw the three alleys in a T-shape with Wangjia Hutong, his eyes lit up, "Liang...... Xin, stand ...... Live! ”

The child on the other side turned around when he heard the voice, "Sister! Sister! ”

A door on the side of the alley opened, and a girl with two pigtails came out diagonally across her schoolbag, and when she saw Lu Li, she glared, "Lu Li, you are bullying my brother again!" When I turned around, I told the teacher to go! ”

Lu Li was not afraid, learning the emphasis of the ghost soldiers in the movie, and smiled evilly, "Liang...... Liang Wei...... Wei, you land, good ...... Big Heart...... Great Earth Bad...... Finish! ”

Liang Wei is Lu Li's classmate, and there is a younger brother who is one year younger, named Liang Xin, who, like Gou Li, only went to school this fall. Because his name is the same as the word 'conscience', he has added countless fun to the children in the school, bullying Liang Xin every day, teasing Liang Wei with his brother's name, is Lu Li's favorite thing to do; Liang Xin has no brother above, only three sisters, he is a little cowardly, once he is bullied, he will find his sister to come out.

"Phew!" Liang Wei took a sip of him, and led his younger brother's hand tube forward.

"Liang Wei, you forgot to bring something." Ding Cong shouted in the back, and Lu Li turned around and gave him a neck slip, "Show...... Manifest you? When the time comes...... Let the teacher ...... Tell me about her ...... and come back to get it! Many...... How many are you? ”

At that time, primary and middle school students had the so-called 'three belts', which were water bowls, red scarves and handkerchiefs. Naturally, people like Luli who did not wear a red scarf did not have to ask for it, and some of them had to wear it, and once they forgot it, they had to go home and pick it up again - fortunately, at that time, the children went to school nearby, and there was no such thing as choosing a school, so it would not take a lot of time.

Liang Wei quickly checked it, the water bowl and handkerchief were all with her, but she forgot the red scarf on her chest, smiled at Ding Cong, turned her head and scolded Lu Li, "Why are you so damaged?" He took his brother's hand and hurried home to get it.

*************************************************

Daxing Street Primary School is rebuilt from an old school in the old days, divided into three courtyards in the front, middle and back, the classrooms are large and small, the courtyards are also of different sizes, the red school gate, there is a high activity threshold, in fact, it is a piece of long wood for the children to grind without edges and corners and lacquer, behind the gate is a red shadow wall, on which is to study well, every day upward handwriting white characters.

The north room in the front yard is a large classroom with bluestone slabs and high steps, and there is also a piano in it. Diagonally across the door from the music classroom is the principal's room, which is small.

After entering the school, turn left and turn the third door, which is the classroom of the second class of the second grade, behind the podium is a wooden blackboard, with a large portrait hanging on it, and on both sides are banners with the words "Study hard, make progress every day"; The left side of the podium, by the window, was vacant, and in the winter a one-man iron stove was to be placed here, but now that the weather is warm, it is not necessary, so the school workers will tear it down and move it away.

Six rows of seats longitudinally and three rows horizontally; On either side is a two-seater, and in the middle is a three-seater, both painted dark blue tabletops, on which there are various patterns drawn by graduated children with pens and knives, making a good end of the table as uneven as the surface of the moon; There are drawers under the desks for school bags; The seats are also divided into two-person and three-seater.

Most of the seats in the class are divided into double seats for men and women, and the middle triple seats are carried out in the form of two men and one woman or two women and one man, depending on the total number of boys and girls in the class. The most annoying thing is the middle position of the three-seater, no one wants to sit in this place, because every time they start to write and answer questions, they will be hit by the elbows of their classmates on both sides - the three children draw two grooves on the table, and they can distinguish their respective areas very evenly, and if anyone crosses the line, the other party will not hesitate to beat him (her) back!

The children put down their school bags, took out stationery and textbooks, and sat down behind their hands; The pencil case used by Luli was made of iron, a flat iron box one or two centimeters thick, with hinges at the back and a slight bulge on the front, which, when fastened, could ensure that it would not fall apart by itself when running and jolting; But after the use of the second sister and the elder brother who had never met and died young, the snap buckle had already been smoothed, so I had to tie it with a rubber band in the middle.

I took off the rubber band, opened the pencil case, and the inside of the lid was printed with the multiplication mantra song, I don't know if my brother or sister was naughty, and the answers behind the equal sign were scratched out with a pencil knife, revealing a faint golden yellow inside - a layer of copper tire that had been applied before the electroplating, and in some places, even this copper tire was gone, turning into red and black rust marks.

There are two kinds of pencil cases, iron and plastic, iron 0.46 yuan each, plastic 2.43 yuan a piece - in those days, it was definitely a sky-high price; There were forty or fifty children in the class, and they didn't even see a plastic pencil case. In fact, some people can't afford to use iron pencil cases that cost less than five dimes, so they have to ask parents to sew a pencil case with a rag head and take it to school.

The pencil case contains pencils, pencil sharpeners, and erasers. Most of the children have the skill of sharpening pencils with one hand, holding down the pencil with a vertical knife, shaped like a pickaxe with reduced proportions, cutting it with the blade of the knife, and with a flick of the wrist, a piece of wood is cut off, revealing the refill inside; Luli once competed with his classmates, and he could complete the process of sharpening a pencil with three knives.

The next thing is to sharpen the tip of the pen, stand the pencil on the table at a certain angle, and cut it in a circle with the blade little by little, and pay attention to the triangular shape of the sharpened nib, so that it is the most beautiful and comfortable to use. There are also children who are clumsy, and finally sharpen the pencil, and when sorting out the nib, they use too much force, the refill is broken, and they have to start all over again; A few times back and forth, a new pencil becomes a pencil tip. There are also plans to save trouble, after cutting, on the ground back and forth, until the tip of the pen is polished and sharpened, this practice is very despised, so most of them choose to get it themselves in a place where no one is around, and dare not let others see it.

There are many types of pencils, generally HB type, one or two cents a piece, the best is a Chinese brand dark green hexagonal pencil with a rubber head, sold for a dime, it is a high-end goods, and there may not be a child in a class.

The last important piece of stationery is the eraser, the size and shape are about the same, but the old and the new are different, girls use erasers to save and clean much cleaner than boys, before use, first rub the clothes, rub the dirt on the eraser, and then use the original gray-white gelatin to smear the homework, and will use the hand to press the paper to be smeared, so that it will not be wrinkled because of the action; Boys don't care about this set, they wipe it when they take it, and there are often paper wipes that make a mess of the homework book and find fault with the teacher.

In addition to pencils, erasers, rulers, pads, triangles, semi-circles (this kind of plastic products, at that time were all called chemical boards, now everywhere, has been flooded with plastic, at that time was rare) and other stationery, there are also some such as crayons, ink cartridges, watercolor boxes, abacus, because it is required for secondary classes, it is not necessary to bring every day. The courses of the first and second grades include Chinese, arithmetic, physical education, large characters, and drawing; After the third grade, politics, general studies, abacus, art, music, self-study, etc. are added one after another. At that time, there were many children, there were not enough classrooms, the school could not open the bolt, the children could only attend classes in the morning and afternoon, and the academic progress was naturally slow, and it was not until the second half of the second grade that the arithmetic class learned multiplication and division.

The first period is a Chinese class, and the teacher is the head teacher Li Li, who takes out the lesson plan, "Next, let's start the class." She said, "Let's take the quiz today and close the book." ”

The children quickly closed the textbook, took out the homework book, tore off a page from it, put it on the pad, and took out the pencil and eraser for later use, "Great ......," Li Li read three words, and the students lowered their heads and wrote on the paper. Some of them wrote quickly, finished writing a few words, raised their heads to look at the back of the teacher walking through the aisle, holding a pen and waiting.

"Learning ...... and ...... Fighting, homework ....... ”

After school in the morning, the children of the first and second grades cannot be scattered in a hurry like the senior grades, but have to line up in two teams, divided into two teams for men and women, led by the teacher to cross the road, and the children in the senior grades who run around them shout and shout, "The little bean bag in the first grade, one dozen and one jump high; The small tea bowl of the second grade, a dozen eyes; Eat well in the third grade, reload the bullet in the fourth grade; As soon as the fifth grade fires, the sixth graders are all out! ”

The teacher sends the children across the street to the entrance of a large alley to make sure they are not hit by a passing vehicle (bicycles or tricycles, which are basically not available in cars) before letting them go. "Luli!" Li Li shouted, "Come here." ”

Lu Li didn't know what was going on, so he walked up to the teacher in the surprised eyes of his classmates, and raised his face to look at her, "Did you bully the children in the morning?" ”

Lu Li was furious in his heart, turned his head and looked back, Liang Wei was sticking out his tongue at him, making a grimace, "No...... Yes. He stammered, "I ...... Let him stand still and don't run, because he is afraid of him...... Walk...... The road was unsteady and fell. ”

Li Li's surname was patient, and after listening to his stammering explanation, she patted him on the head, "That's good, don't bully other children, you know?" ”

"Oh."

"Alright, let's go back."

Lu Li nodded, turned around and left, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at Liang Wei's back and secretly annoyed, how could he think of a way to get angry?
