The school road of Taoyuan High School is a straight line that extends from the school gate to the east. Except for the fact that a door was not opened in the wall at the end, the school road ran through almost the entire school. Whether it's cold or hot, the mango trees that stand on both sides of the school road are sprinkled with thick shadows. However, the lush trees shed a lot of fallen leaves every day, which was a disaster for the students in charge of the school.

On the right side of the school gate is a student dormitory built along the road, which is specially designed for students who come from afar. In fact, compared with the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 middle schools, No. 16 Middle School is only positioned as a civilian school, and many of its students are ethnic minorities. The full name of Taoyuan Middle School is "Taoyuan Nationality Middle School", which enjoys political tilt to a certain extent.

A few meters ahead of the school gate, on the left hand side is a small garden built along the wall, and the irregular lawn exudes a strong green tone; On the right-hand side is a rubber soccer field that is almost attached to the dormitory, which is smaller than a normal soccer field. Due to the fact that the run is too short, the teacher would rather let the students run on the playground than on the plastic track when running laps in physical education class.

Walk along the school path through the gardens and courts. On the left-hand side is the school building where the students are taking classes; On the right-hand side is a football field twice as big as a football field.

Between the stadium and the football field, there is a two-storey laboratory complex with physics, chemistry and biology laboratories. Experiments such as using coverslips and microscopes to study cell changes in onion rhizomes, measuring acceleration, measuring pH, etc., are carried out there.

The teaching building of Taoyuan High School is a tube building in the shape of a "district", with a total of three floors. The word "district" opens to the south, and when you enter the area with a cross in the middle, the first thing you encounter is a ginkgo tree of unknown age. Further back is a goldfish pond with a diameter of about 10 meters, and there is a rockery in the pond, and the water is raised with durable flower carp.

The school road is like the central axis of the whole school, dividing the school into a one-and-a-half layout.

If Riki continues to walk forward, you will arrive at the teacher's dormitory area, which is not very thick-skinned students generally dare not enter, and students with such thick skin as Riki are frequent visitors to the dormitory.

In any case, this school is the alma mater that trained him to be admitted to university, and it was a holy place that condensed twelve years of hard study into reality. Because of a lot of emotion, he chatted with the principal in the principal's office and got carried away, until the bell rang, he suddenly remembered to find his classroom.

Most of the first-year students are sixteen or seventeen years old, and they basically find new classrooms on their own, and few in the twentieth century have asked their parents to bring them to the classrooms in high school.

When Limu belatedly stepped into the door of the second class of the year, there was a sudden cry, followed by a small and fragmented suspicious sound.

#小学生!?

#那个小孩...... Came to the wrong classroom, right?

#说不准, you see there's still an empty seat there.

The student didn't ask a specific question, but he got an answer from his neighbor.

Most of the children in the junior high school know each other, but it is difficult for the junior high school children to meet their acquaintances among their peers. This is the loneliest time for any student, who may not even know the name of the homeroom teacher.

"You're Riki, aren't you? The class meeting is just beginning, and the seat over there is yours. The male teacher said euphemistically.

The reason why he is tactful is because he is actually delaying the class meeting for Riki. If he put it another way, it would be - "You're finally here, I'll start the class meeting with you, go sit down......" Now there is only the first row and the third column in the class, and Riki doesn't need to look at the direction of his finger to know where he should sit.

The chairs in high school have changed from double tables to single tables. If a school cannot afford a single table and chair, in order to avoid "early love", the school will change the co-ed sitting system to a same-name sitting system.

Seeing that Riki was in his position, he turned around with a chalk and quickly wrote his name on the blackboard - [Qiu Yuyan], and then introduced to the students present:

"Okay, it's almost time, as you can see, I'm your homeroom teacher, I'm sure everyone is still very new in the short time together, so we won't have the first class. (smile) My name is Qiu Yuyan, everyone will call me Teacher Qiu in the future, and I will be in charge of you for the year before the class is decided, and I hope you can cooperate with each other.

"I'm teaching you Chinese, but I don't want to see you biased, so it's better to improve all levels together. The teachers in the school are very serious about teaching, and if you don't understand a question in class, you can raise your hand to ask a question or come to the office to ask the teacher after class...... I like students who study hard and love to read......"

Mr. Qiu looked like he was about 30 years old, with a little baldness on his forehead and two dull spots on his cheeks, like the marks left after the removal of large freckles. Obviously, as a Chinese teacher, Mandarin is a little informal. When he speaks, the corners of his mouth are slightly open and closed, and it can be predicted that he secretes a lot of saliva, and it is estimated that students who are close to him will easily be "spitting" by him.

Riki had to regret that the first row was the most vulnerable to spittle, but fortunately, Mr. Qiu only stood on the podium at this time to speak, and only affected the position in the fourth column of the first row in front of the lectern.

After a long speech with a very leadership style, Mr. Qiu finally got the class meeting into the main topic - "...... I believe that you are also eager to let other students know yourself, and hope to find like-minded friends as soon as possible. You don't need to go into as much detail as I said, just talk about the name, region, and hobbies. ”

"Teacher, do you need to go to the podium?"

The student in the first row of the first column raised his hand and asked, counting in order, he was definitely the first student to introduce himself.

"No, just say it from your seat."

Teacher Qiu said to this polite student.

All the students who are admitted to Taoyuan High School in the high school entrance examination are good students whose grades are in the middle and upper reaches of the province, and students who are not in the top 50 of their grades in ordinary middle schools cannot be admitted at all, and the students' cultural literacy will definitely not be bad.

The watershed in society begins to become apparent in high school.

Wealthy, talented students attend the best schools, and most of them will become bosses and managers in the future; Ordinary students who attend ordinary schools like No. 16 Middle School will become a large number of white-collar workers in society in the future; Students with great uncertainty are shunted to places like No. 10 Middle School, where they will either move bricks to construction sites, become bosses, or sell drugs.

The places where you can learn the most are the first, second and third middle schools, where you will also get good interpersonal relationships; The place that can hone people the most is the "Sanzai" middle school, at least the courage and perseverance are very comparable; The only way out for students who tend to middle school is to get into a good university, and unless there is an extraordinary opportunity in the future, they can only be a living dead who does not have the strength to pursue their ideals, or does not have the courage to pursue them.

-- The Chinese people call it the mean.

"My name is Lu Xia, I'm from Guiping, and I like badminton."

"My name is Lin Qunbo, I'm from Wei County, and I like to play chess."

"My name is Yin Xu, I'm from Pingshi, and I like ......"

-- The Chinese people praise the mean.

"My name is Huang Xiaowei, I am from the university area, and I love to sing."

"My name is Mo Yuansheng, I'm from Anxian County, and I like to read comics."

"My name is ......"

-- Chinese people like moderation.

Riki also likes moderation.

The golden mean, which has a long history, does not provoke the powerful, and allows people to survive in the world for a long time like a thin stream.

But......

Nor does it stir up waves.

Just like the students present obeyed the teacher's "don't be so detailed" order, they followed the introduction mode of the previous student and didn't dare to make a mistake, and they really only said their names, regions, and hobbies.

――I can't stand it.

They just don't want to be special, they don't want to be the "one or two bullied" students in each class, and only the mediocre can integrate into the big group and not be excluded.

――I can't stand it.

They just repeat the words of the previous student like a tape recorder, which is mediocre rather than the real golden mean, and if you are afraid, everyone will become "special" together!

What happens if it's an introduction to No. 10 Middle School? When it was a classmate's turn, he put his feet on the table and leaned back, and sat in his position with a big grin.

What happens if it is an introduction to the first junior high school? Half of the students have their own surnames, and they bravely introduce their specialties and family backgrounds, and the remaining half of the students will become different when they introduce them.

If it is the sixteenth...... No, there is no need to assume at all, they are gradually immersed in the study of mediocrity at the moment, and each of them stands up and sits down in less than twenty words.

"Me!" Riki, who could no longer stand the reload mode, got up and attracted everyone's attention, leaving his seat three steps and making two steps to the podium

"I, no...... I! "With a name that is not so much eclectic as it is out of the ordinary, I introduce myself to.

"My name is Riki, and my dream is to be the world's No. 1 cartoonist! My comics are going to be all over the world......

"Since when did you even dare to tell others about the ideal of 'I'm quite a scientist'?! ……”

"Did you forget? Is it because of the pressure of life? Still afraid of being ridiculed......"

-- Introduction, you should go to the podium and give a good introduction; The child should leave the seat that gives him a sense of security.

Standing up and sitting down in less than ten seconds like just now, what classmate can remember each other in a short time? At most, they can only find fellow villagers according to the area of the branch, and slowly explore for a long year, until a small half of the classmates in the class do not know each other.

Such a class meeting is futile, it is useless work, and it is a waste of time when it is finished. Whether brave or timid students, teachers should give them a chance to give a speech on stage. On the first day of school, there are no important classes, so what's the point of each student going up and showing their faces for a minute or two?

"It was absolutely wrong for the teacher to ask us to make an introduction at the table......"

Riki, who dared to break the stereotype and stood on the podium without permission, originally made Mr. Qiu look sideways. Although his face was serious, he decided in his heart that he was really a promising student, so he didn't reprimand him, but listened quietly. If it weren't for his outstanding painting talent, he would definitely become a famous politician in the future.

The other students were shocked when they saw this, the boy not only reprimanded the entire class, but also dared to accuse the teacher in public.

But the biggest problem for a student is -

(What the hell are you doing, it's not your turn yet...... The student who stood up with Riki wanted to cry without tears, and he just wanted to say something different from the previous one, but he met such a boy who was even more strange than himself.

(Teacher, can I sit down...... He gave Mr. Qiu a look, but the teacher didn't notice him. After two minutes, when Riki finished speaking, he could only shout in his heart, "Not every student is willing to go to the podium, not everyone can speak for two minutes!" He reluctantly walked up to the podium.

It wasn't until he finished his speech that he realized that he had made the whole class know him, and a sense of pride that had arisen before he walked off the stage with his head held high.
