The only high school in Suilin County is located in the south of the city, with three rows of gray plaster cement houses, narrow windows, dark corridors, cold winters and hot summers.

The dirt playground mixed with sand and gravel tiles is covered in soil on sunny days and mud on rainy days, and even the few flowers and plants in the flower beds are dry and thin, without any energy.

The school has three rows of houses, the front two rows are for student teachers and faculty offices, and the back row is for dormitory students.

There is a long and narrow open space dozens of meters wide between the back of the dormitory and the courtyard wall, and I don't know which year it was planted full of lilacs, and miraculously it grew very well, and it was already a house high.

Many hard-working boarding students come here in the morning to study, and the woods are trampled out of the paths, and there are wooden piers, bricks, and abandoned wooden doors that students move to sit on.

At 6:20 in the morning, Shen Guodong sent Zhou Wanwan to the back door of the school, and he was very uneasy to carry her schoolbag and didn't want to give it to her, and repeatedly persuaded, "Why don't we take another day off today!" ”

Zhou Wanwan was dizzy and chest tight, and the wake-up syndrome was when it was serious, so he didn't want to say a word, so he took his schoolbag and waved his hand at him and went in.

After so many years, she has long been accustomed to it, and if she doesn't suffer this hour in the morning, she can't start the day. Patience passed, and if she asked for leave for this little thing, then she simply didn't come to school.

Shen Guodong sat on the bicycle with one leg on the ground, and watched Zhou Wanwan's slender figure turn around the dormitory and disappear, unable to retract his gaze for a long time.

"Manager Shen, send your sister to school?" Yan Jingfen saw Shen Guodong from afar, and hurried over a few steps to say hello.

"Teacher Yan. Morning! "Shen Guodong is rarely pleasant to people. Yan Jingfen is Zhou Wanwan's Chinese teacher, just two years after graduating from Ling'an Normal School, she is lively and loves to laugh. I get along well with the students.

Such a teacher, having a good relationship with her will be very helpful to Zhou Wanwan's school life, so Shen Guodong has a very good attitude every time he sees Teacher Yan, and he is not at all careless about people.

"Teacher Yan, are you on duty this morning? It's hard to wake up early like the students. ”

"You're not waking up as early as the students. I get up three days a week, but you work hard every day, rain or shine! "Yan Jingfen is a little danfeng-eyed. When looking at people, the tails of her eyes are slightly raised, and she is slightly biased towards her face, which is even more obvious.

Shen Guodong exchanged a few words with her, raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Morning reading is about to begin. I won't delay Mr. Yan's time. Our unit has just bought a batch of soybean oil, the condition is good, one day you ask the family to find me, I will arrange someone to fill a bucket. ”

Yan Jingfen's eyes lit up immediately, she had three taels of oil tickets a month and half a catty of meat tickets, and sometimes she couldn't buy oil after standing in line for a night, if she could go to the grain and oil company to fill a bucket directly, it would solve the problem of eating oil for a year for their family!

"I'm sorry to ...... that"

"It's okay! Just come and see me during work hours. You usually care so much about your students, I can't let a people's teacher like you eat some oil and work hard, right?! ”

Shen Guodong got on his bicycle. didn't give Yan Jingfen a chance to be polite again, just said hello and left.

Yan Jingfen stood in place and watched Shen Guodong's tall and straight back leave, and did not hurry into the school gate until the bell rang for morning reading.

Zhou Wanwan's first and second classes of high school have 32 students, half of them are day students in the county and half are boarding students in the countryside.

When she arrived, it was not yet morning reading time, and the classmates were all sitting casually, or a few people gathered together to talk.

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Shengmin, the secretary of the Youth League branch in the class, blocked her in front of her, "Zhou Wanwan, yesterday Li Shengnan, a classmate in our class, was injured while working, and is now hospitalized in the county hospital." The classmates decided to go to see her after school today, are you going? ”

Li Shengnan is the deputy squad leader in the class, and he usually works very actively, and he loves to challenge the impossible. It was no surprise that she would be injured at all.

Zhou Wanwan was still a little dazed, walking with one foot high and one foot low, and was blocked and almost couldn't stop the car and hit Gu Shengmin, and only after a moment did he understand what he meant, "Who is going?" Do you want everyone to collect money to buy things? ”

Gu Shengmin's face was a little red, "I'll go, as well as the class leader and a few group leaders, we all welcome you to see her as a representative of ordinary classmates." ”

"I'm sorry that I can't go to school tomorrow because I have something to do. You must convey the condolences of our whole class to Li Shengnan. I hope she recovers soon and returns to our class as soon as possible. Zhou Wanwan said so many words early in the morning, he was already a little tired, holding on to the desk next to him and waiting for Gu Shengmin to leave.

Gu Shengmin didn't have this look, and kept persuading her, "Are you in a hurry?" If you're not in a hurry, can you push it back? We'll go for an hour. Go by bike, soon, I, I can take you. ”

"It's a very important thing, and I can't push it. If our classmates want to collect money to buy something, count me in. Zhou Wanwan began to look for Gao Pingli in the class, and found her to give her a look.

Gu Shengmin was still about to speak, but Gao Pingli was already waving at Zhou Wanwan and calling her, "Zhou Wanwan, come here!" Show me my math homework! ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded at Gu Shengmin, bypassed him and went back to his seat.

Gao Pingli is sixteen years old, a healthy and ruddy girl, her figure is tall and strong among her peers, her waist is straight when she walks, she is full of energy when she speaks, and she is very energetic.

"Hurry! Math homework! "Gao Pingli really didn't write his math homework.

Yesterday afternoon, I walked back and forth for more than 20 miles to learn farming, and then did an afternoon of farm work, that is, she was as strong as her, and when she got home, she didn't want to move after eating, who still had the heart to study!?

"Have all the students in our class collected money?" Zhou Wanwan took out her homework, and by the way, put the lunch box in Shen Guodong's schoolbag in the hole of Gao Pingli's table.

It was her breakfast, and she deliberately got up late so that she didn't have to eat it and brought it to school. Every day, Gao Pingli is responsible for helping her eat clean.

"Voluntary! I basically didn't take it when I lived in the school, and I took five cents for Gu Shengmin and Jin Yong when I went to school, and the others took two cents and one cent. "Kim Yong is the class president of the class.

Gao Pingli was not in a hurry to copy her homework, and hurriedly opened the lunch box. Grab the bun inside and nibble on it.

"And how much did you take?" Zhou Wanwan plans to compare this Gao Pingli.

Gao Pingli's mother sells vegetables in a vegetable company, her father is a teacher at the county No. 3 elementary school, and she has an older brother and a pair of younger siblings at home. It is the most ordinary working family in Suilin County.

Gao Pingli had a mouth full of buns, stared at Zhou Wanwan and stretched out a finger.

The white flour steamed buns in the school cafeteria cost four cents, the black noodles cost two cents, the meat dish is one dime and two cents, the second dish is eight cents, the C dish is six cents, and the vegetable soup is two cents. A dime is enough for a rural student to eat a meal.

For county students from ordinary working families, it is also the money of two sorbets, which is not less.

So the first period is out. When Gu Shengmin came to find Zhou Wanwan again, she took out a dime.

Gu Shengmin wrote down her name in his notebook. Zhou Wanwan glanced at it, there were more than a dozen people who paid the money, and only two people who paid five cents. Most of the rest are a dime. There are a few five-point ones.

"I'll see how much money I got tonight!" He Hongmei, a resident student, suddenly stretched her head over, glanced at Gu Shengmin's notebook, and glanced at her mouth not very obviously.

"He Hongmei, how much money did you take?" Zhou Wanwan deliberately glanced at the notebook, "Why didn't I find your name?" Haven't you written it down yet? ”

He Hongmei's face was a little red, "I, I forgot the money when I went home this time, and I will make up for it next time." ”

Gao Pingli squeezed his eyes and pouted beside him. The meaning is obvious, what are you asking about without paying for it!

He Hongmei is a junior high school classmate with Zhou Wanwan. And different classes, living in Yangshugou Township Machangtun.

After entering high school, the relationship between the two is not salty or light, and they are not very close because they are alumni of the same junior high school.

"Collecting money is voluntary, it's nothing if it's inconvenient this time, just do more in the next class, everyone can understand. It's too normal to pull things, the last time I went home, I pulled the language book home, and grabbed a week's worth of books with Gao Pingli. ”

Zhou Wanwan didn't want to grudge with anyone, so she clicked on He Hongmei and found a step for her.

Almost all the boarding students didn't contribute, and He Hongmei didn't come out and it was nothing. But she came out to see how much money she had paid, and she had such an expression, and there was a faint meaning aimed at her, which made Zhou Wanwan a little uncomfortable.

"Can you be like us?" He Hongmei looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smile, and stopped saying half a sentence.

She didn't say anything, but made everyone curious, and they all looked at them.

"What's the difference? You tell me about it. Zhou Wanwan straightened her back. This He Hongmei came on purpose to find fault today!

"All the money your brother earned was spent on you, and he grew up in a honey pot, and we bitter children can't afford it."

He Hongmei showed that pouting expression again, which was much more obvious than just now, "All the students from the countryside can't afford to pay, so you can compare with the classmates in the city, one take is a dime, of course it's different from us." ”

"Isn't Zhou Wanwan's house from the county? She doesn't live on campus, she goes to school. Gu Shengmin hurriedly explained for Zhou Wanwan.

"Her two older brothers both work in the county, what's wrong with being able to compare to their classmates in the county? I didn't spend your family's money, what are you doing here?! Gao Pingli slammed the table away and stood up.

Gao Pingli is nearly 1.7 meters tall, and she looks quite strong, standing in front of He Hongmei, who is a little thin, she has a condescending momentum, which shocked her and frightened her and took a step back.

"He Hongmei, our whole class is concerned about Li Shengnan's injury, although we can't pay for it, how much money depends on our family situation, and it doesn't fully represent the amount of our hearts, but at least we can pay for these students' hearts She can receive it immediately.

You don't pay, no one forces you. But if you don't care about the injured classmates, and come here to find out the fault of the classmates Qian, I really can't see what your intentions are.

I took this dime because I considered my family situation, I don't need to explain it to you, and you are not qualified to question it.

I didn't spend your money, what are you doing here?! ”

Zhou Wanwan also pushed the table and stood up, and also learned from Gao Pingli to slap the table, but unfortunately, the temperament and behavior language were seriously inconsistent, and Gao Pingli who was watching next to him laughed.

Gu Shengmin's eyes were also full of smiles, looking at Zhou Wanwan's bright black eyes, and trying his best to pull the corners of his upturned mouth back, "He Hongmei, do you pay?" Without giving up, I'm going to find another classmate. ”

Gu Shengmin blocked in front of He Hongmei, obviously pushing her away.

He Hongmei was so angry that her face was red with two plateaus, aggrieved and uneven, and shouted at Gu Shengmin, "What do you know!" Her family is rural! She spends money so lavishly, and all she spends is her eldest brother's hard-earned money! All the money her eldest brother earned was spent on her! She doesn't know thrifty yet! ”

"Yo! Co-author, are you worrying about money for her eldest brother!? Gao Pingli smiled wickedly, "The eldest brother is willing, can you take care of it?" Who are you? Zhou Wanwan's sister-in-law? ”

He Hongmei was so angry that her eyes were red, and she glared at Zhou Wanwan fiercely, "I think you can still talk for a few days!" ”

He Hongmei left angrily, returned to her seat and sulked, several female classmates who lived in the same dormitory with her muttered and whispered to comfort her, and their eyes drifted to Zhou Wanwan from time to time, obviously they were all upset for He Hongmei.

Zhou Wanwan smiled angrily, where is this?! He Hongmei's problem is too inexplicable, right?!

Gao Pingli was also strange, "Did you offend her?" What kind of wind is she smoking? Or does she really want to be your sister-in-law? ”

Zhou Wanwan's heart moved, and she opened her eyes to look at Gao Pingli, sister-in-law?! No way! (To be continued......)
