There are two rivers in Jiangxi, originating in the Jiuling Mountains, one flows through Fengxin County in the south, called the Nanlu River, and the other flows through the adjacent Jing'an County in the north, called the Beilu River. The Fengxin region is long and narrow, and the Nanlu River runs through most of the townships.

Huibu Township is crossed by the Nanlu River, the reason why it is named Huibu, because the traffic is inconvenient before liberation, the main mode of transportation is Caoyun, the Luan River is the only river channel along the way, go upstream, there are many wharves built all the way, these wharves are called ports.

Huibu was originally such an important wharf, and the name of the hometown Songbu was also obtained in this way, and there were some wharves that were not named after the port, such as Luofang, Shangfu, Ganfang, etc., but there are still remnants of the old wharf, which were very prosperous in the past.

The earliest Huibu Commune was built in Huibu, and later moved to Songjiayuan, not far from the other side, and was called Xinhuibu by the locals, and the original Huibu was called Laohuibu.

Huibu Middle School is built on a hillside behind the old Huibu, facing the Luhe River in the south, about four or five hundred meters, and the north side is backed by Yue Mountain, and it is about three or four miles away from the grandmother's incense burner mountain at the foot of the mountain.

I was admitted to junior high school in 1985 and came here to study. Huibu Middle School is far away from home, at least twenty or thirty miles away, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so you need to board here. My grandmother's house was close enough to go to school, and I really wanted to stay at my grandmother's house, but my parents didn't allow it.

At the beginning of September, when it was time to report to school, I rode the brand-new 28-style "Flying Pigeon" brand bicycle that my parents bought for me, and set off with my father, all the way along the road in front of the gate to Huibu Middle School.

The 28-type bicycle is heavy-loaded, and there is a light type called the 26 type, at first I didn't understand what it meant, and then I learned that it was divided into the bicycle ** group, and the wheel of 28 inches was called 28 type, and the 26-inch one was called 26 type.

At this time, bicycles have begun to be popularized, as the only means of transportation for ordinary families at that time, people can be seen riding bicycles everywhere, and even in that era, China has another name, called the bicycle kingdom, the bicycle penetration rate is high, unprecedented, the city is like this, the countryside is also like this.

The bicycle I just bought, all kinds of components are wrapped in plastic foam, rural people will not tear off, wrap it tightly with adhesive tape, in order to better protect it, so that the paint will not fall off and rust, and some people will also use rags to wrap it up, which increases the comfort and strengthens the protective effect.

Big and small, old and young, can ride, childhood first learned to bicycle, is also a kind of pride, often see five or six years old children, not tall enough, can not sit on the cushion, on the half squatting sideways pedal, can not step on the circle, on the half circle.

Most of the rural areas are 28 style, and there are also 26 styles, but there are very few, and women and children are usually given rides. Therefore, rural people have another name for these two kinds of bicycles, one is called men's bicycle, and the other is called women's bicycle.

There is a bracket behind both kinds of bicycles, which can both sit and carry things, and the horizontal bar in front can both sit and hang things, and it is inconvenient for young children to ride, so there is a special chair made of rattan, which can be placed on the horizontal bar and used to ride young children.

In contrast, the 28-type load capacity is stronger, and it is modified more according to the needs, I think the production of the 28-type is to take into account the needs of production and labor, especially in the countryside, the function is played to the extreme, not only the normal means of transportation, more often, as a means of transportation for carrying people and goods.

The most common renovation of the 28th type is the back support, some will add wooden boards, and some will weld iron fences. It is widely used, you can see 28 bicycles riding at full load anywhere, used to carry people, squeeze a few on the front horizontal bar, squeeze a few on the back bracket, and hold a few more in your hands, a bicycle can carry a family.

It is used to carry goods, and there are more of them, and the shelves are specially made to fit anything. The two handrails are fixed on the back bracket with ropes, and they can also pull the goods and ride quickly.

Such a load, the most likely to be damaged, the common fault is generally a flat tire and puncture, or the chain falls off, sometimes the load is too heavy, and even the steel ring of the wheel will be crushed and deformed. The fifth uncle made a fortune, initially by repairing bicycles.

The damage rate is too high, and it is inseparable from it, the impression of the farmhouse is almost equipped with tire repair tools, a brush, with iron sheet drilled out of dense holes, fixed on the wooden rod to make it, brush off the old leather on the rubber tires, and then a bottle of glue, used to stick the rubber, fill the small holes or holes that leak, and then you can still ride.

Since junior high school, I have been battling with unchained and leaky air for a long time, and my hands are often oily because of this. There is no shortage of bicycles, broken chains, flat tires are not competitive, and they have to be carried to a waiting place to replace them.

He was too young and too short, and he stepped on tiptoe and hurried to catch up with his father. All the way through the stone lane, Qingshu, Jianxin farm, to the old Huibu, across the bridge is to go to the township, turn to the direction of the mountain, is the Huibu Middle School.

The old port faces the river in front of it, there is a farmland behind it, after turning around, the road passes through the farmland, and a steep slope begins to appear, at the bottom of the steep slope, there is a fork road to the right, which is also a steep slope, less than 100 meters, leading to the Huibu Middle School.

The road continues to extend, and there is a fork road after about 100 meters, and after two or three miles along the fork road, there is the incense burner mountain of my grandmother's house. When I was in high school, my brother-in-law transferred from the supply and marketing cooperatives in Cheping to the supply and marketing cooperatives in Xizhuang.

At the end of the road, it becomes a small road, which is not open to traffic, but it is possible to walk, and most places can be ridden by bicycle. This path is a shortcut from Huibu to Luoshi, and it is this shortcut to go to high school in Yecheng most of the time.

To be precise, Huibu Middle School was built on the top of a hill, carving out a flat land, covered by green trees, tall and verdant, and the school buildings faintly emerged from the shadows of the swaying trees.

I still vaguely remember the scene when I first entered the campus, the playground was not much bigger than the elementary school, the green trees were in the shade, the flower beds and tree walls were distributed among them, the rows of dormitories and classrooms were neat, and there were students everywhere, and it was extremely noisy.

I was dazzled by the new environment and immediately attracted by the curiosity of the unknown. Among the group of students, there were many familiar faces from Fengyuan elementary school, and after knowing that their father was coming, they gathered around.

The eldest daughter of the village party secretary is among them, she is in the third year of junior high school, she is quite cheerful, she no longer has the restraint of primary school, and she has no fear of her father, and enthusiastically guides me and my father to report to the teaching building.

For the first time, he walked out of a small mountain village and left the arms of his parents, without the slightest fear and sorrow, the young man was ignorant, attracted by freshness and curiosity, and in his ignorance and fearlessness, he started his independent life and learning career.

The new school and new environment, without the protection of my father, lost the special courtesy of primary school, here is as ordinary as other students, and from a remote mountain village, it is even more ordinary, plus thin and frail, no longer dare to show off.

Fortunately, after a serious illness, I have suffered some setbacks, suffered some blows, experienced loss, and have some psychological endurance, but I can also adapt.

If I hadn't had that serious illness, I would have grown and developed faster than others, I would have been taller and stronger than my peers, I would not have been challenged to my position as the king of children, I would not have lost my title, I would not have been depressed, I would not have been secretly sad, and I would not have been sluggish.

Maybe I will still be bold and fearless, and maybe I will still be like the king of children, my friends will listen to my command, even if others pick up something, they will hand it over to me. In the era when all kinds of ideas are overflowing, you may also become a gangster.

It is impossible to turn back time, history cannot repeat itself, fate cannot be changed, I have just entered middle school, I always stand at the end of the row, always sit in the front row, I am not prepared for the face of my stronger classmates, and I am not mentally prepared for the hard study and life.

Thinness brings some inferiority complex and timidity, and I don't dare to play with my tall classmates in the back row, and the playmates I choose are a few short people like me in the front row.

The heart of play has not decreased much, the expectations given by parents are not high, the pressure is not great, they do not pay much attention to learning, and they are not active, eat some classes to listen to lectures and digest the old books, and the rest of the time is spent on how to be happy and how to play.

My sister is also studying in this middle school, a year before me, she is in the second year of junior high school, she doesn't know if this is the case with learning, and she doesn't have the heart to know, and she won't take the initiative to inquire, she lives in the women's dormitory, I live in the men's dormitory, it's usually rare to see each other, and I even forgot her existence in my heart.

My sister worked hard but rarely spoke, and she was in junior high school for a year and never told me about school. Maybe it's not that she doesn't talk about it, but she doesn't want to tell me, because those years were the years when our siblings fought the most intensely.

The body is really weak, I remember one time after dinner, with a primary school classmate who was admitted at the same time to play in the playground, for some reason, he pulled my arm hard, was pulled to the eye, fainted on the spot, scared this classmate is not light, fortunately, not long after, he woke up again.

The classmate at the same table is surnamed She, from Jianxin Farm, not in the farm headquarters, but a team far away from the headquarters, like me, the family is also farming, the family conditions are average, the study is very conscious and hard, and the grades are very good.

Coming to school from home, we have to pass by his door, and every time we go home, we go together, the two of us have the closest relationship, the former classmates of Huibu Middle School, now none of them can remember, and they can't even remember their names, only his name and appearance have not been forgotten.

If you play too hard, you will be punished. After a night of self-study, I went back to the dormitory to rest, lying in bed and still making loud noises with my roommates, and was caught by the teacher who checked the night, violated the school management system, and was caught in the teacher's office for punishment.

The office was brightly lit, the evening self-study had just ended, and the dedicated teachers were still grading homework or preparing lesson plans for the next day.

One of the female teachers was from Fengyuan Village, behind my house, who was once a student of my father, married to Huibu and worked as a substitute teacher in a middle school.

She recognized me at a glance, but she didn't come over to care about the greetings, and left Fengyuan Primary School, lacking the protection of her father, and it turned out that she was not treated well in the eyes of others, and even ignored.

I have the impression that she just glanced at me lightly, and then said to the other teachers, this is the son of the principal of the elementary school, the father is a college student, but the son is not growing.

I gritted my teeth secretly, cursing her in my heart for having no eyes, I couldn't see that I would do something earth-shattering in the future, as for why I had this thought, but I didn't know, maybe it was a sense of superiority that I had cultivated since childhood, because until now, I have done anything big.

This narrative did not win the sympathy of the teacher, and we were not treated differently, and like the other students who had made mistakes, after standing for a while and educating with admonition, we continued back to the dormitory, and did not dare to make a sound, and slept quietly.

After this incident, I was full of disgust with this female teacher. But it can only be disgusted, at that time, most of the junior high schools were still substitute teachers, not only lacking teaching experience, but also lacking the experience of educating people to do ideological guidance.

Although the school has set up ideological and moral classes, most of them are based on books and drawings, and occasionally make mistakes, most of the minor ones are reprimands and punishment stations, and more serious ones are notified to parents, and parents are required to strictly manage them, and if they do not do so, they will be expelled.

The expulsion needs to be decided by the school, and some class teachers often order students to go home and not enter the classroom, and it is not uncommon for them to be beaten and scolded in some cases.

The whole junior high school is spent like this, the age of ignorance, the eyes are not opened, the society is not understood, the mind is not guided, often ups and downs, swaying violently, some affect academic performance, and some even join the gangsters in society.
