An encounter and an ordinary dinner made Wang Mengxiong and Wang Yaqiao intersect, and they also relied on Jing Dingcheng's connections to enter the Chengxin Academy to study. Professor Jing was looking for the former president Liu Shuping, and with his recommendation, the current president Cao Muguan still gave Wang Mengxiong a chance.

The two test papers of the entrance exam made Wang Mengxiong, who has a bachelor's degree, work hard for a long time, not because he can't, but because of the traditional Chinese characters throughout, which makes him a little incomprehensible. When he relied on Lianmeng to guess the test paper well, Principal Cao judged the paper on the spot, and both of them exceeded the passing line.

Wang Mengxiong was very embarrassed, but Principal Cao Muguan was very satisfied. Because he brought a first-year high school paper, Wang Mengxiong was already surprised that he was able to pass. As far as he knew, a child performing in the circus could achieve such a result, which was enough for him to go directly to study in Sai Gosai.

There is no definite school system in Chengxin Academy, with a total of twelve classes. It is distributed on the east and west sides, in order of East 1 Lent, East 2 Lent, etc., and there are West 1 to West 6 Lent. After passing the exam, students can be promoted to the class once every six months. If you do well in the exam, even if you are promoted to two classes in a row, it is not impossible.

It takes a long way to get from the big world to the Chengxin Academy, but Wang Mengxiong runs to school with his feet. Originally, Gu Chuanbiao had hired a rickshaw and entrusted the rickshaw driver to take Wang Mengxiong to and from school every day, but Wang Mengxiong categorically refused.

Wang Mengxiong knows the importance of a good body, and he doesn't have too much time to gradually practice natural martial arts, so he came up with the idea of practicing natural skills by running every day in combination with natural breathing.

What he didn't expect was that his spontaneous breathing and exhalation through the rhythm of running made his natural skills unintentionally enter a new realm.

I'm afraid that even Du Xinwu didn't expect that he, an apprentice, would take this way to practice natural gong, which was originally a kind of static gong that needed a quiet environment to practice. However, Wang Mengxiong ingeniously combines running with the breathing method of natural exercises, so that the various functions of the body can be adjusted to the best state, and the internal organs and natural harmony and integration, although there is no effect in the short term, but as long as it persists for a long time, the benefits during the period will naturally be revealed.

Every morning, people on the bank of the Pujiang River will always see a skinny child, running hard with a schoolbag on his back. The fresh air by the river and the atmosphere of old Shanghai permeated the world made Wang Mengxing deeply intoxicated and fascinated.

Early in the morning, there are vendors selling all kinds of snacks along the way to earn hard money, and the stall of one of them, which sells steamed buns and rice porridge, is where Wang Mengxiong must go every day.

After coming and going, the eldest lady who sold breakfast prepared what he was going to eat early, and when Wang Mengxiong ran here, he put the money into the box that the eldest lady had filled with money, picked up the prepared breakfast and put it in the schoolbag and continued to run to the school.

Chengxin School covers an area of about 30 acres, close to the Huangpu River. Entering the gate of the school, you will see a bronze statue far away, and the pedestal is engraved with five big characters like Ye Gongcheng. This is the full-body statue of the founder of Chengxin School, Mr. Ye Chengxin.

Wang Mengxiong has read the history of the school in his spare time and admires the founder very much. It took eight years for Ye Chengcheng to go from a small worker selling goods on a sampan to opening his own hardware grocery store, and it only took more than 20 years to go from a grocery store to a hardware king, a fire oil tycoon, a rich man in Jiangnan, and a huge rich man in China.

The old gentleman donated 20 acres of land and 100,000 taels of silver to build Chengxin School, and won the plaque of "Enlightenment Virtue" issued by the first class at that time. Wang Mengxiong carefully identified it, it was still the imperial pen of Emperor Guangxu.

Classes are held six days a week and are closed on Sundays. After Wang Mengxiong got the class schedule, he found that the daily classes in the school were actually full. The curriculum includes arithmetic, Chinese studies, erudition, physics, chemistry, drawing, singing, gymnastics, and most importantly, English, which is very rare in other schools.

As the bell rang, the first class of the Chengxin Academy began. The first lesson is arithmetic as usual, which is the same as the sixth lesson is an English class. The arithmetic teacher is Yu Yaoqing, who is very enthusiastic about Wang Mengxiong, who only passed the arithmetic exam, and often asks him questions in class.

In addition, this math teacher not only teaches arithmetic, but also organizes students to carry out natural science experiments. For example, collecting plant specimens, dissecting small animals, etc.

In Wang Mengxiong's view, this is like a later generation of physical education teachers grabbing other teachers' classes to teach, he is robbing biology teachers of what they should do. However, there is no biology class in the school, so no one cares about him.

Wang Mengxiong didn't want people to find out about his abnormality, so he acted like he listened carefully every time he went to class. After class, some well-dressed students gathered around Wang Mengxiong and commented on his hairstyle.

Wang Mengxiong, who came from later generations, hated the covers, middle heads, and big backs that were all over the streets in this era. Before he went to school, he found a barber shop, and the master of the shop shaved his head under his guidance.

Wang Mengxiong is very satisfied with this hairstyle, but for these classmates of his, this hairstyle is very different from everyone else, although it looks very energetic, but it still becomes the object of ridicule from them.

Wang Mengxiong didn't pay attention to these little children, and he couldn't tell these children that this was a popular style in later generations. If you use words to scold or directly move your hands and feet, it is too cheap for a soul in his 20s who lives in the body of seven or eight years old.

When the bell rang again, the children returned to their seats, took out their textbooks, and waited quietly for the teacher's arrival.

"You don't care what they say, I think you have beautiful hair. These rich kids often joke about our clothes and accents, but when the monthly exam is released, it's our turn to laugh at them for being at the bottom of the rankings! ”

Wang Mengxiong didn't need to look back to know who was speaking, and this student named Chen Sibai was about the same age as him. Because of his family background, the clothes he wore were very old, and the objects of ridicule of those guys before Wang Mengxiong came to him were all on him.

Wang Mengxiong responded lightly and didn't say much. "If this kid knows that Lao Tzu is not a rich child, Lao Tzu himself is a rich man! At that time, I guess I won't say such a thing, right? Wang Mengxiong thought maliciously.

Suddenly, he saw a strange middle-aged man walk into the classroom, who was not the music teacher who was supposed to be in the classroom. At the same time that everyone was in an uproar, Principal Cao Muguan, who followed this stranger in, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and said loudly: "Be quiet, be quiet, let me introduce it to you." Because your original music teacher took a week's leave for something, so on his recommendation, we temporarily invited Li Guanghou, a teacher from Liangjiang Normal University, to teach as a substitute. Mr. Li teaches music and drawing classes at Zhejiang Normal University and Nanjing Normal University, and it is more than enough to teach you these little hairy heads with his great talent, this is your opportunity, I hope you will take advantage of it! Let's welcome Mr. Li. ”

There was a bang, a sound of tables, chairs and benches. Wang Mengmengxiong also stood up with everyone, bowing his head in unison and saluting.

"Hello teacher!"

"Hello students! Have a seat! ”
