Chapter 1 Commencement of school
In the early spring, the whole earth is wrapped in a silver coat, and the goose feathers and snow in the sky continue to fall, constantly increasing the thickness of this coat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Not far away, on the ridge of the field, a little boy is struggling to brave the snow, he is wearing a shabby cotton jacket, the cotton wool exposed in the hole in the cotton jacket and the snow complement each other, becoming the most perfect camouflage color, if he stands still, you really find it difficult to find his existence.
"Slip-plop-plop-"
The little boy slid down the ridge and fell into the rice paddy, and the thick snow swallowed him up in an instant.
The little boy lay on his back in the snow, white mist coming out of his mouth with rapid breathing, looking like a column of white smoke coming from a steam locomotive.
The little boy's eyes looked directly at the sky, the falling snowflakes made the sky turn gray, and under the thick lead clouds, it brought people an extremely oppressive feeling, the little boy's eyes were so helpless, revealing a pitiful sadness.
After a moment's pause, the little boy struggled to get up, patted off the snowflakes on his body, and then climbed up the ridge and continued with his stubborn steps. An hour later, covered in mud, he finally arrived at the school gate.
On the wall at the school gate are written four big characters "Happy Primary School", and the font is written in bright red paint, and in his eyes, the word happiness looks so dazzling.
The little boy lifted up the worn-out military satchel that was about to slip off his shoulder, and walked into the school with his head bowed.
"Liu Fang-Liu Fang-Liu Fang-Is Liu Fang here?"
On the podium of the second-grade classroom, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Chen, was holding a list in his hand and was taking a roll call.
At this time, the little boy happened to walk to the door of the classroom, and when he heard the teacher's roll call, he stopped with some cringe.
Teacher Chen looked up and didn't find Liu Fang's face in the class, she sighed, picked up the pen and put a red cross on Liu Fang's name, just as she put down the pen and was about to continue the roll call, the little boy standing outside the door finally mustered up the courage to walk into the classroom.
The whole class immediately focused their attention on the little boy's body, the little boy's face instantly turned red, and the collective gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes brought him an inexplicable sense of oppression, the little boy lowered his head and whispered in an inaudible voice: "Yes, I'm sorry teacher, I'm late......"
Teacher Chen looked at the toes that were sticking out of the little boy's worn-out cotton boots, and a smile of encouragement appeared on his face: "Liu Fang, it's good that you're here, hurry up and find a place to sit down." ā
"Good, good ......"
As if the boy had been pardoned, he walked quickly towards the last row of the classroom with his head down, and naturally sat down in the most remote corner of the classroom.
Then the roll call continued, and after counting, there should have been 57 students in the class, but only 51 people came, and according to Mr. Chen's years of work experience, most of the six students who did not come have dropped out of school.
In these years, the tuition fee is not expensive, and it is only a few dozen yuan a semester, but for rural families, dozens of yuan is still a big burden, and those farmers who work all year round have little knowledge, and they do not know the truth that knowledge changes their fate.
Teacher Chen put down the notebook and said with a smile: "After the roll call, the textbooks will be distributed, and the students whose names I read will come to the stage one by one in order." ā
Teacher Chen opened another notebook, which recorded a list of students who had paid the tuition fees, according to the school's regulations, only these people could receive the textbooks for the new semester, and those who did not pay the tuition fees could not receive the textbooks.
Although China has already begun to implement the "nine-year compulsory education", this is just an empty slogan, after all, the country is also very poor, and cannot really implement this policy of benefiting the people.
When Teacher Chen took the roll call for the first time, Liu Fang appeared on the list, and now she called the name for the second time, but Liu Fang's name disappeared, no way, Liu Fang's family is poor, and it can be seen from his clothes that he can't afford to pay dozens of yuan per semester tuition.
Like Liu Fang, there were more than a dozen students who couldn't afford to pay the tuition, and when Teacher Chen finished distributing the textbooks, all of these students who didn't receive the textbooks looked disappointed.
Children's self-esteem is very strong, and this kind of differential treatment can easily hurt their young minds, but among them, not everyone is embarrassed by this, at least Liu Fang does not have this expression.
In the eyes of his classmates, Liu Fang's family is very poor, and his biggest characteristic is that he doesn't like to talk, so everyone usually doesn't pay too much attention to him, it can be said that Liu Fang belongs to the transparent existence of the whole class, if it weren't for the teacher's name, the vast majority of students would not notice him.
At this moment, Liu Fang was sitting in the corner of the classroom, his face did not show a strange look, he just sat quietly, looking like a sculpture.
After distributing the textbooks, the head teacher Chen walked out of the classroom with the remaining textbooks, and the students who received the textbooks immediately opened the textbooks and browsed them, Liu Fang took this opportunity to quietly stretch his neck, and turned his eyes to peek at the textbook in the hand of a classmate closest to him.
Soon, this classmate found out about Liu Fang's actions, he quickly closed the textbook, and raised his chin at Liu Fang: "Poor boy, who let you peek?" Peek at me again and tell the teacher to go! ā
Liu Fang was so frightened by this sentence that he immediately retracted his neck, not daring to look at the other party, this classmate snorted triumphantly like a general who had won a battle, and then continued to look at his new textbook.
On the first day of school, there were no classes in the morning, and in the following time, the students cleaned up under the arrangement of Mr. Chen, and worked until noon, finally cleaning the whole classroom with a new look.
After school, the students poured out of the classroom to go home to eat, and only Liu Fang sat in the class and did not move.
When he was the only one left in the classroom, he walked to the back door of the classroom like a thief, poked out his little head and looked outside, and after making sure that there was no one around, Liu Fang immediately flew to the desk of the classmate just now, took out the other party's textbook and flipped through it.
Liu Fang flipped through the book very quickly, and his expression was also very focused, in just ten minutes, he finished reading the Chinese textbook of the second grade of primary school, and then he took out the math textbook and flipped through it.
Before he knew it, the noon break had passed, and Liu Fang had finished reading all the textbooks before his classmates returned to the classroom, and then he slipped back to his seat and sat down, pulling out a rusty lunch box from his worn military satchel.
The fried rice in the lunch box was already cold, but Liu Fang didn't care at all, he ate very energetically, and whispered to himself while eating: "It doesn't matter if I don't send textbooks, anyway, I can remember all the content of the book as long as I read it once, and remember it word for word." ā
