Chapter 8: The Mark of Growth
At the end of the summer, I went to school on the first day of school, and Grandma Xia was so busy that she forgot the time, and hurriedly carried a large bag into the school, because she didn't pay the money, so she didn't arrange a dormitory, so she could only put things in the communication room.
At the end of the summer, the old man was a little anxious, kept talking, smiled and said that he could do it, let her go back first. The old man rarely comes to school, and in her consciousness, the reader is a very powerful person, so she is very helpless.
There is a car in front of the school that goes directly to the entrance of the village, and at the end of the summer, she will return to the school gate after sending the old man to the car, because she knows that if she does not send the old man to the car, she will definitely walk back.
After looking at the bulletin board at the school gate, I knew that I was placed in Class 5 of the first year of junior high school. The uncle who watched the gate knew that she had just come today, and told her that she had to pay the money before she could go to class. asked about the direction of the Academic Affairs Office, and nodded at the end of the summer to thank her, because the grandfather who bought vegetables asked her to go to the Academic Affairs Office when she arrived at the school.
Director Liang of the Academic Affairs Office is a member of Ah Gong's church, but no one in the school knows about it, and at this time, teachers can't let people know that they have other beliefs. "You're a classmate at the end of summer, why did you come so late? How do you cut your hair so short, I thought it was a boy when I came in. What's wrong with your hands still hanging? ”
Xia Mo smiled: "The hand joint is injured and I can't tie my hair, so I cut it off, which is more convenient." Teacher, I'm here to pay for tuition. ”
Teacher Liang nodded: "Xiao Zhang, you take the end of the summer to teach the money, this list was signed by the principal, you take it together." There is a set of textbooks here, so you don't have to take her to the library. Then he turned to Xia Mo and said, "Come to Uncle Liang's side in a while and take your class." ”
At the end of the summer, I smiled and went to the school finance office with the teacher in the office to pay the tuition. In the middle, Xiao Zhang has been asking about the relationship between the end of Xia and Director Liang, because she knows that in the past few days, Director Liang specially asked the principal to sign a tuition waiver list for special students, and deliberately went to the library to get good books and put them in the office.
I thought it was two students with special needs, but I didn't expect these two things to be done for the same student; The most incredible thing is that this kid came to sign up alone, and he was still dressed like this. The teacher in the finance room was also very curious, asked a few words casually, and answered quietly at the end of summer.
I am easy to do things, and the admission procedures at the end of summer are all completed in less than 20 minutes, and the dormitory assigned is a small room for four people, and the dormitory at this time is generally a large room of 12 or 14 people. The dormitories were built first this year, with the first to third floors for boys, and the fourth and fifth floors for girls. The dormitory at the end of summer is more special, it is a small cubicle on the fifth floor, which is very small, warm and tight.
The students in the first middle school of the town are generally from S town, and the boarding students are divided into three parts: one is the students who are admitted to other towns and towns, the second is the students from other places who spend a lot of money to buy, and the third is the students who are not at home and are not worried about the education of their grandparents.
Director Liang took the end of summer to the direction of the classroom, and told her in the middle that she should study hard, and she didn't want to be proud of her if she did well in the exam this time. Director Liang teaches mathematics and is now leading the graduating class of the third year of junior high school. Originally, I was a little unhappy to be told by the pastor and the old man that a student was a little surprised, but after reading the math test paper at the end of summer, I was a little surprised. Because I got 120 points at the end of the summer, and the additional questions are all correct, this is junior high school knowledge. If it weren't for the junior high school by myself, I really wanted to put her in my class.
The homeroom teacher at the end of summer was a somewhat mellow young man, who came out of the classroom with a smile on his face, and after a few words of greeting, he took the end of summer into the classroom. After a brief introduction, I asked the end of the summer to sit in the back row of the class, because the end of the summer is tall and there are no empty front row seats.
At the end of the summer of this life, I paid attention to my height, because in her previous life, she was l65, but her weight was 140, so she was very envious of thin and tall girls. But her thinness is not deliberately to lose weight, but there is really no nutrition, in her previous life, she also began to gain weight after junior high school, and she was out of control.
Summertime walked to the back of the classroom with her eyes down, and many curious eyes followed her, either puzzled or looked at or surprised, but Summertime didn't care, because she knew it didn't mean anything else. Imagine a short-haired girl in her early 160s, interrupting the class teacher's speech, being brought over by the head teacher, and still hanging her hands. What a strange situation this is, it's not surprising.
The head teacher's surname is Pan is a member of the She ethnic group, who has just been transferred to this school, and teaches politics; Because of the policy, this school has enrolled more than 30 She students this year, and there are three students in this class; Listening to him laughing and talking about the beauty of middle school life, he turned his head to look out the window at the end of summer, and only after saying it was good did he know that the most difficult six years of China's exam-oriented education were about to begin.
The first day of school in every school is actually only half a day, and the teacher doesn't really teach anything, just talk about the school rules, arrange seats, get to know each other, and at most clean the classroom. For the disabled at the end of summer, cleaning is basically nothing to do. After clarifying the situation, she went to the communication room at the end of summer, and she still had a lot of things to move.
"Small?" An uncertain voice came from behind, and at the end of summer, I turned my head and saw that it was Fang Huan. Looking at their frightened faces, the end of summer smiled lightly. Fang Wan happily patted the shoulder of the person next to her: "I'll just say it's small, you don't believe it, or I'm hot-eyed." However, this hairstyle is too ugly. ”
Brother Qing scolded: "What the hell are you doing?" Yesterday we waited all afternoon, and I thought you were playing tricks on us, and what kind of hair are you, shorter than mine. What's wrong with your hand, you've been beaten? Do you need your brother to help you get revenge? ”
Late Summer: "You also saw that I had a broken hand and couldn't tie my hair, so I cut it short." I forgot the time, so I didn't come to report. Well, the hand is broken. But revenge is enough, you can't beat the adults now. ”
Looking at the end of Xia Fang Huan, who was answering seriously, laughed, and said, "No wonder you don't go to sell ice, it turns out that your hand is broken." It was your dad who beat you, and it seems that you are not a good student either. ”
The mouse patted him on the head: "Are you stupid, do you look like a good student?" If she is a good student, we can see her pleasing to the eye. ”
Brother Qing also slapped the back of the mouse's head: "You are an idiot, you can enter this school with bad grades." What are you going to do? ”
Fang Huan's hand was raised, and the person dodged away: "It doesn't matter if you have good grades or not, my grades and Datou's grades are okay, and you know every day that you will sleep and your grades will be good." ”
Late Summer: "Don't you have to clean?" I see upstairs and downstairs cleaning. ”
The rat patted his chest: "Do you think anyone dares to ask me to do hygiene?" Let's go shopping, I recently found a game arcade that is quite fun, let's go together. ”
Xia Mo looked at her inquiringly, and shook his head cruelly: "My things are still in the communication room, and I have to move to the dormitory first." Go play. ”
Brother Qing looked at her hand: "What to play, let's move together." ”
Speaking of moving together, it was actually the end of the summer and Fang Wan walking behind, watching the three boys put down the dormitory with their hands and big bags with gritted teeth. Fang Wan symbolically pulled an ancient suitcase and said disgustedly: "Is this your grandmother's, it's so ugly, you still pull the school." Also, are you fleeing? I don't know how you got here. ”
Late summer: "My grandmother rode a tricycle to the entrance of the village, then moved three times to get on the bus, then got off the car and moved it three or four times, fortunately the car stopped at the school gate, otherwise we really couldn't help it." There was silence for a while, and the three people in front also heard such a conversation, but no one spoke, because they didn't know what to say, they had never encountered such a situation.
Today's children are very face-saving, even if the family is poor, they will not say it generously, not to mention that the tone is so calm and careless. Of course, they don't know how to describe the tone of late summer yet, but they just think it sounds very normal, like talking about today's weather.
This afternoon, instead of playing games, the five went to the supermarket to buy some necessities. Before entering the supermarket, Brother Qing 'robbed' the pockets of the other two people, but he didn't have a chance to pay at the end of the summer, and then they went to eat beef soup + instant noodles, which was also a treat at the end of summer, and Brother Qing was very angry. At the end of the summer, he jokingly asked him to take care of more in the future, which can be regarded as teaching protection money in advance.
Campus life is always the same and uneventful, and if there is anything special about it, it is the maverick taciturn at the end of the summer and being taken care of by the senior classmates, so that the classmates dare not get too close. What's more, the position at the end of the summer is the second half of the class, there is only one girl in that row, and her table mate is also a repeater, and she is not familiar with it and has no communication.
After self-study in the morning, Datou would always come to the classroom of the fifth class of junior high school to find the end of summer, and pull her to the commissary for breakfast, in fact, the boarding department has breakfast, and they always have various reasons to pull her out of the classroom. Even if you don't eat, you have to accompany them, and the opposition is invalid. The school shops are usually in the corner, some distance from the class, and they are crowded and crowded.
At the end of summer, every time I ran into the classroom, I comforted myself and used it as a morning exercise.
At the end of the summer, I asked: why is it always the big head who comes to her every time. They unanimously replied: because the big-headed grandfather is the principal, and he has the face of a good student, the other teachers will not say anything. Later, I learned that the people in this small gang all have some backgrounds, Fang Huan's family is rich, and the big head family has power.
Brother Qing is a special deposit, his father is a bastard, and he just came out of the number, but the family is also rich, even if there is no money, no one dares to mess with it. This is also an important reason why his grades are so poor, his behavior is negative every year, and he only repeats a grade but is not dropped out of school.
No one wants to mess with the children in the old family, especially the general timid and honest people nowadays, not to mention that there is often gossip that so-and-so was cut down and so-and-so was dead on the street. At this time, the economic development of S Town was too rapid, but the security did not keep up, and it was more about money. For habitual offenders, they also turn a blind eye, as long as they don't come down to investigate. A sentence that is often on the lips of locals: Isn't the police station opened by gangsters? However, the salaries of police officers are not high, their social status is not high, there are basically no patrols on the streets, and the handling of police is also very delayed, and basically the cadres of their own villages directly resolve disputes.
The streets are dirty and messy, but every store must pay the sanitation fee every month, otherwise there will be people swaying in front of the store every day; At that time, there were no traffic lights, and the sound of 120 ambulances could often be heard when crossing the road; People who live in the town can hear the sound of young people shouting on the main road every night, and the only thing they can do at this time is to turn off the lights and go to bed.
This is the current situation of society at that time, there is no exaggeration, and there is no need to be surprised and afraid, this is just a social mark of the development of the times. Over time, some things will be replaced, and some things will be remembered as classics. Just look with your eyes and record with your heart.
PS: On the way to work today, I was thinking about the plot, and I waited until the green light flashed before I found myself stopped at this end of the crossroads, and I had to wait for the next green light again. Like a dream, confused. Embarrassed to death.
