9. High school

From the distant mountains, I came to the provincial capital of Guiyang and went to the most important high school in the provincial capital, Guiyang No. 1 Middle School.

High school life is tense and happy, Qingfeng quickly adapted to the environment here, and with his excellent academic performance, he quickly conquered the whole class, all the teachers were also impressed by him, because he was not partial to the subject, and the results of each subject were particularly good, the most prominent was Chinese. Because of Uncle Feng's teachings and the children's skills of Chinese studies, Chinese classes are a kind of entertainment for him, that is, he has made a new interpretation of his original foundation of Chinese studies in modern Chinese. Learning a language class is like this, mainly relying on your inner strength, cultural accomplishment, and literary storage. As the mother tongue of our Chinese, how to say it makes sense, how to say it is logical? In order to better adapt to the grammatical requirements of modern Chinese, proper organization can become a very good article, and people say that they are full of article spirit, which is the truth.

Qingfeng is very grateful to Uncle Feng for giving him the basic skills to practice, memorization has become his killer feature, after reciting, many new words will be memorized, repeated recitation, many grammar points and knowledge points will emerge, especially the basic knowledge of Chinese, which is vividly reflected in various texts, so the Chinese teacher's brushes, in addition to dictation and dictation, are recitation and reading, these kinds of kung fu in the classroom are Qingfeng's best. In particular, the Chinese teacher's slightly accented Chinese is still slightly inferior to Qingfeng's particularly authentic Mandarin, so whenever a new text is taught, that is, when Qingfeng is most proud, the teacher will let Qingfeng read the text aloud in class and let him lead the students to read it aloud. This loud sound of reading makes the high school students who come out of this mountain full of confidence, vitality, and charm.

Qingfeng's body is wearing coarse cloth clothes, which is really simple compared to these young people in the city now. In the first few days of class, these boys and girls in the city really looked down on this dirt bun. After a few days of class, this idea has dissipated their thoughts. Qingfeng's figure has also changed from the soil bun in their impression to a dashing teenager, and every flash of his mind will ignite the hearts of these young boys and girls, leaving them beyond their reach, and they can only look up.

The questions of the first exam test of the whole class are not very difficult, but most of them have not reached the passing line, but the results of each subject of the autumn wind, unexpectedly, have won the first, the most eye-catching is mathematics and English, and even scored two 100 points, Qingfeng's composition, become the model text of the whole grade, was read aloud repeatedly for several days by the school's small radio station, he wrote the handsomeness of his hometown, the deep affection of the mountains, and the incomparable attachment to his hometown, all of which touched people's hearts, and the male and female broadcasters on the radio were sonorous and powerful, The passionate reading was marked with a strong stroke by the breeze's composition.

Qingfeng is still that very simple school uniform, in front of those boys and girls of the same age as themselves, there is no dazzling, compared to their colorful fashion, it is really a heaven and an earth, no one would have thought that they are teenagers of the same era, the fashion on their bodies, shining, the youth on their faces, bursting with vitality. Qingfeng's body is always a blue and white school uniform, simple and neat, not much vitality, just a little sporty. But in front of this group of young men and girls in the city, there is a mystery that can never be solved, how much wisdom is wrapped in those simple clothes? How many wonderful words, what lofty ideals, they could not guess, nor could they understand, this wooden riddle made them even more curious, their burning eyes focused on this simple boy, as if to look at it empty, but it was a blue and white kaleidoscope that they could not see, nor could they see the bottom.

Those teenagers are good to say, Guiyang No. 1 Middle School is a residential school, students come from all over the province, the only condition for admitting them is to pass the score line of key schools, junior high school entrance examination high school is also a tough battle, junior high school entrance examination high school is also a tough battle, these teenagers are outstanding in the local area, no, two brushes will not be admitted to the best key middle school in the province, but Qingfeng is among them, still the top-notch person.

What makes them curious is that when Qingfeng buys food, he always buys the cheapest dishes, after a meal, they all go to brush the dishes and chopsticks, but Qingfeng takes the lunch box to the boiling water room, connects a lunch box with boiling water, and puts the rest of the menu and vegetable soup in the lunch box with boiling water and drinks it into his stomach, and then he washes the dishes and chopsticks. They saw this simple young man, although he was outstanding in writing, the best in learning, and excellent in all aspects, but when he ate, he really couldn't let people look up to him, and he didn't even let go of the vegetable stall, what kind of person would he be?

Qingfeng himself doesn't care, he doesn't have the money to buy those delicious meals, his standard is to eat enough, after eating, vegetable juice, vegetable soup, must not be discarded, must be washed with boiled water again, drink into the stomach, do not let a little nutrition discarded, because the money in his pocket is donated by Uncle Feng, he can't waste a point, he can save a little, no matter what others think, as long as he is serious and serious, and put his energy on studying, what does he care about these small sections of life? Let them be.

Qingfeng's life subsections made these teenagers full of curiosity, only knowing that he was from a hundred thousand miles of mountains, and it was the first time he came to the provincial capital to go to school, but he could speak authentic Mandarin and write a beautiful article, there should not be such good teaching conditions in the mountains, but his English courses could be prohibitive, and even the English teacher was impressed by him. When others were still reciting English texts, he had already taken out an original English book from his school bag, and the teacher was afraid that he would be too ambitious, so he specially called him to the teaching and research department and talked to him once.

Qingfeng listened to the teacher's education very carefully, very humble, did not refute a word, the teacher's education was also very comfortable, very satisfied, thinking that he was an excellent educator, so let this teenager admire the five bodies to the ground. When the topic turned to the content of the English course, the English teacher realized that he was completely wrong, because these contents, Qingfeng was already proficient in almost as good as himself, when did he learn it? All the students take English as a burden, but this young man in the mountains is so confident and calm, what is the situation?

The English teacher was actually full of curiosity, so he shifted from the content of the textbook to the content of the novel, Qingfeng actually talked to him in English, and the content of the original book was outlined, the storyline and characters were very accurate, all of them were conversations in English, did such students still use high school English courses? Judging by the standard of his own professional English level 8, this child's English level is not much worse than his own, but he is still young, and after three years of high school study, his English will surpass himself, because the English teacher found that Qingfeng's recitation ability, comprehension ability, and expression ability are not generally good, it is particularly good, and when he is a little longer, he will definitely be a good material in English.

The most commendable thing is that although Qingfeng's grades in each subject are among the best in the class, he will listen carefully in each class, take notes carefully, interact frequently with the teacher, and always be able to find out a few key problems in learning, communicate with the teacher between classes, and leave an extremely deep impression on every teacher who has taught him. They all want him to be the class representative of this course. In the end, under the coordination of the head teacher, Mr. Chen, Qingfeng did not do any of the class representatives, but went to the school cafeteria to help the masters sell food.

This is because after talking with Qingfeng, Mr. Chen had a preliminary understanding of their family situation and was particularly sympathetic to his economic situation, so he specially asked the logistics director of the school to arrange this work-study job for him. Mr. Chen, the head teacher, paid special attention to Qingfeng's performance in the near future, knowing that he had become a left-behind child since he was a few years old, growing up with his grandparents, and had not seen his parents a few times in the middle, and knew that his parents had been working in Guangzhou for a long time, and all the money he earned was used to go to school for his sister, Qingfeng's life has always relied on the sponsorship of well-wishers, so he insisted on finishing junior high school and was admitted to a key high school. And his living expenses are also sponsored by others, this child has no financial resources, so he wants to rely on his own hands to change his fate, insist on finishing high school, and also want to save some tuition for the future admission to college through three years of study and work-study. After the teacher learned about this, he rejected all the teachers' wishes to ask him to be the class representative, but went to the logistics coordination and arranged this work-study job for him, hoping that this would improve his economic conditions a little, so that this good boy in the countryside could go further on the road of exploring knowledge, and also wanted to keep a seed of hope for the school, which would blossom and bear fruit in the future and be infinitely bright.

Qingfeng did not, because of the care of the school and teachers, and did not relax himself because of his outstanding academic performance, but was grateful, handed over everything from the school to himself, and tried his best to do better, more meticulous, more perfect, and help the masters to buy vegetables, he always rushed to load the car, rushed to unload the car, and sweated profusely, when those masters looked at him, they were a little distressed. It's really the children of the poor who are in charge of the house, these masters see the breeze, and then think about their children, who are about the same age as him, at home are clothes to open their hands and food, and they never dare to let them be contaminated with a little bit of housework, and parents have consciously and voluntarily taken care of all the housework, so that these little ancestors study seriously, concentrate on learning, and spend a lot of money to enroll them in various cram schools, in the end their learning is still average. The child in front of him, all kinds of dirty work, hard work, and tiring work, is still the first in the whole grade, how happy his parents are. So whenever I think of this, these masters also try to let him do less, after all, he is a child, he can't be too tired, and he needs to leave a little time, a little energy, so that he can use it for studying. This is the heart of poor parents in the world, who can not like a sensible and capable child like Qingfeng?

Less than a month into school, it's about to be the National Day, the National Day is Golden Week, there is a 7-day holiday, the students in the class who are far away have all started to pack up early, and their hearts have already flown back to their hometowns, and they want to return to their parents as soon as possible. But Qingfeng is still a dull study, an ordinary life, trying to do his work-study job, and there is no intention of leaving.

A classmate in the same dormitory, Li Xiaonan asked him, "Li Yufeng, aren't you going home during the 11th Golden Week?" But what about the 7-day holiday, I guess it's the first time you've been so far away from home and haven't been home for a month, what are you doing here for 7 days? ”

Li Yufeng, "I have discussed with the school, in the cafeteria to help the cook, there is another master, Master Yu's child, this year's junior high school entrance examination, let me help him tutor homework, it is also very good, not only can earn some money, but also save more than 100 yuan of travel expenses home, but also hurry up a little time, consolidate some homework, anyway, if there is a problem, many teachers do not go home, I can also ask the teacher for advice, usually ask the teacher for questions have been occupied by you, Now that I finally have my own time, I can ask a lot of questions from my teachers. ”

He said it easily and naturally, but his heart was full of sorrow and longing.

The grandparents who pulled him up single-handedly, are almost 60 years old, from an infant baby, raised into an ignorant teenager, more than ten years, never left them, the two old people must be very miss him, it has become the only hope of the old man, looking at the grandson, can also ease the miss of the son's family, if he can go back at this time, he will definitely be able to repay the old man's wishes.

There is also Uncle Feng, who has been playing with him since he was a few years old, and learned from him what others can't learn if they want to, Chinese studies, classical Chinese, calligraphy, abacus, although it is like a private school, there is no scientific education, and there is no systematic inheritance, but he has practiced his basic skills, in the huge ocean of knowledge, the most essential part is stored in his mind, which stimulates his thirst for knowledge, the exploration of learning, and the vision for the future, making him an ideal young man, how is Uncle Feng now? I'm really thinking about it in my heart.

But his reason told him that these thoughts, these debts, can only be buried in his heart, and when his economic situation allows it in the future, a little bit of compensation, a little bit of vows, more than 100 yuan back and forth is not much, but as a breeze, it is a huge amount of money, which can top half a month's living expenses, this is Uncle Feng's hard work, it can't be wasted at all, and they should be put in the future life to reduce Uncle Feng's burden.

He has promised Uncle Yu to help his child with homework, Master Yu is the supervisor of the canteen master, and he usually takes care of him, helping him to tutor the child, which can be regarded as a kind of arrival for the master. As the saying goes, giving people roses has a lingering fragrance, take this opportunity to review what you learned in junior high school, and do a good refinement, not only can you efficiently tutor the children of the master, but also consolidate your own knowledge, carry out further refinement, and lay a more solid foundation for the next step of learning, why not? What's more, helping to cook at school these days can double the salary of usual, but a lot of money, next month's living expenses can be self-disciplined, and you can save a little Uncle Feng's hard-earned money.

These thoughts can only be placed in Qingfeng's heart, and he can't say it to anyone, and he can't talk to anyone. A teenager is full of money in his heart, and he thinks a little too darkly, but a penny is difficult for a hero, if he wants to go to high school smoothly and finally change his fate through the college entrance examination, he can only save money bit by bit, so that he can make his ordinary life smoother and easier, and his heart will be less burdened.
