CHAPTER XXI
After the stirring heart gradually subsides, life has to go on. As a result, the daily life of dormitories, classrooms, and canteens has become the norm again. Zhao Hongyi's heart seems to have become stronger, and he must study harder and live a more fulfilling pace to forget the humiliation caused by the failure of his first unrequited love.
Every morning, I get up 30 minutes before the wake-up bell rings, run 5 laps on the playground, sweat profusely, and then go back to the dormitory to wash. Then seize the 20 minutes before the morning exercise and recite English words or texts aloud under the street lamp. At the other end of the playground, the kindergarten girls were crying like wolves. Zhao Hongyi simply found two cotton balls to cover his ears, and still read aloud like no one, becoming another beautiful scenery on campus.
The early birds have bugs to eat, and getting up half an hour early every morning gives Zhao Hongyi plenty of time to exercise, wash, study and eat breakfast. He is always at the front of the line every morning. Zhao Hongyi's recipes every morning are almost the same: fried buns, sauerkraut noodles, and porridge. He doesn't pay much attention to eating, just eat enough. In order to be in a hurry, he eats extremely quickly, often settling the battle in three to five minutes. While other students were still queuing up for dinner, Zhao Hongyi had already arrived in the classroom, and he had to recite ancient texts and poems. Therefore, he has always been in charge of the key to the fifth class classroom, and he has hardly delayed the other students, and is always the first to arrive at the classroom.
Sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people are eating long meals, and often it is not yet time for school to get out, and their stomachs are already singing empty plans. So they wanted the last class to end early, so that they could go to the cafeteria to buy food as soon as possible. Everyone hates the teacher who drags the class until it is dark, and if any teacher drags the class, they will deliberately make all kinds of noises below to protest. After a long time, most of the teachers knew about their thoughts, and often ended the lecture before the bell rang and waited for the bell to ring.
In order to save time in the dormitory to pick up bowls, most of the boys took the bowls to the classroom and put them in their drawers. At the last moment when the school bell was about to ring, they silently began the countdown in their hearts: ten, nine...... One. The long-awaited school bell finally rang, and after shouting "Teacher, goodbye", the boys picked up the guys who were eating and rushed out of the classroom like arrows from the string, flew down the stairs, and then sprinted at a speed of 100 meters to the canteen window. Everyone quickly occupied the favorable terrain and began to buy food, and after buying dinner, everyone would sit in a row with bowls on the protective fence made of welded steel bars on the side of the school command platform, and eat and drink. For a long time, this place was often occupied by the boys of Class 5.
As a member of the Discipline Department of the Student Union, Zhao Hongyi will often take shifts, urging everyone to line up and punish those students who do not follow the rules and arbitrarily cut in line. Most of the students who cut the queue are students in the physical education class, and they are often born tall and big, and the weak students in the general teacher class are not their opponents at all. Zhao Hongyi once saw two students in the junior general teacher class who had been lining up for a long time, and when it was about to take their turn to eat, two boys from the physical education class came, put them aside like eagles catching chickens, and started eating with peace of mind. Look at the rice bowls of the boys in the physical education class, there are bowls, they are just small basins, they have a lot of activity every day, they eat a lot, and the ration of meal tickets is originally more than that of the students in the general teacher class. They hold basin-style rice bowls, and the rice often starts at six taels, plus two steamed buns.
Their bowl is so big, there is another consideration, that is, the rice master, you look at the beating, and if you don't even fill the bottom of the pot, they will reprimand the canteen master for being short of catties and two pounds, and he won't leave. In order to reduce entanglement, the rice masters are often heroes who do not eat the immediate losses, and give them some partial bowls. As a result, some of the older students in the general teacher class also looked up to the students in the physical education class and also bought "basins" for rice.
Unless a teacher from the student department is present, they will scold the students who cut in line and make them consciously queue up. The student union cadres on duty are also afraid of fists, and more is better than less. Zhao Hongyi also had to accept the reality that all the rules are made for those who follow the rules!
Just when Zhao Hongyi was on duty once, he also witnessed a strange thing. A tall and mighty boy held a "basin" and beat eight taels of rice and two steamed buns. After the meal was finished, he snapped and put the rice bowl on the canteen table, and while pretending to have his free hand to get the meal ticket in his pocket, he deliberately said that the meal was not enough to eat. When he was ready to leave, he quickly picked up the rice bowl and prepared to leave. At this time, the master of the canteen quit and scolded the student loudly, saying that he used this kind of indiscriminate means to act as a big-tailed wolf. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
I saw that the rice master dragged the boy's rice bowl and didn't let go, and shouted loudly: "You all come to see this shameless student, you have cheated and cheated a few times, and today I finally caught the appearance." What do you see under his rice bowl? ”
When everyone saw it, they were all surprised, it turned out that there were many meal tickets under the rice bowl. It turned out that the boy who bought the rice had applied a layer of glue under the rice bowl before buying the rice, and the moment he put the rice bowl and pretended to look for a ticket, he was stained with the scattered meal tickets on the dining table. People who watched the excitement suddenly had a feeling of brain-opening, and sighed that the boy was "too smart", and he wanted to get this method, and the second was too bold, and he was openly a thief in broad daylight, and the result was exposed, how ugly!
As a result, the boy and the cafeteria staff quickly turned from insulting and pulling to a big fight, and it was not until the teacher of the security department came forward that the incident was calmed down, and the cooking master and the boy were invited to the security department. It is said that the matter was also reported to the school administrative committee, and both the cook and the boy were punished.
There are more than 1,000 students in the school, but there is only one bathroom that is not too big or small. Open twice a week, Wednesday for girls and Thursday for boys. In order to gain time, the boys of Class 5 freely combined, buying to buy food, buying bath tickets, and occupying lockers in advance.
The students of Class 5 believe in the principle that they will never be second place, and even when it comes to bathing, they have a clear division of labor to ensure that the big ones can enter the bathroom as soon as possible, and seize the sprinklers and favorable terrain as soon as possible. At this time, the showers in the bathroom are turned on one by one, and after the cold water is discharged, it is hot water, and after a while, the hot mist fills the entire bathroom, even in winter, it does not feel cold at all.
In the fog, the bathroom was full of white flowers. Everyone is a boy, and there is no need to hide from each other, so everyone has no reservations, and they see each other sincerely. These bodies are also diverse, some are weak, some are stunted, some are tall and mighty, and some are muscular...... Everyone laughed at the students who were ahead of their growth or stunted, and made all kinds of jokes unscrupulously, which became a derivative stage for the half-hour bedtime program in the dormitory.
Everyone exchanged rubbing their backs, only to see that the dirt armor was rubbed into strips and washed away by the hot water, and everyone had a sense of relief. After washing, apply it again with soap, rinse it again, put some mousse on your head, change into clean clothes, and walk out of the bathroom to feel extra relaxed......
