Chapter 2: The Poor Man (2)

I heard my mother say that my father knew that I liked the taste of imported candy, and it could be bought everywhere in the city, because I only had time to buy it at noon, and I was afraid that I would forget to take it away after work, so I had to keep it in my pocket, and it was inevitable that my body temperature would rise due to physical exertion at work, and the sugar would melt when it was hot, so the first thing my father did when he got off work was to come to my room, look at me through the faint night light, and then put the candy he bought during the afternoon break. Every month I can only get together with my father when he rarely rests, as long as my father rests like a holiday, my mother will cook a table of delicious food, and I think that from now on I can often get a bag full of imported sweets, and life will be sweeter and sweeter, but in fact it backfired.

Spent a fairly relaxed summer vacation, after the end of the school entrance conference before the start of school, it means that after the rest of the weekend, the holiday is officially over, out of the school gate many parents are waiting for their children at the door, receive the child to ask how the school is, the head teacher is good and a series of questions, the children answer one by one, they will happily take them to have a good meal, and then buy new stationery. I walked a few steps and saw my mother standing there far away, dressed in a blue floral dress, the hem of which was slightly fluttering in the wind, rising and falling like small waves, this was my mother's favorite dress, and this skirt was still the color I chose for my mother.

"How does it feel?" The mother also asked similar questions that other parents had asked.

"It's okay."

"I see that other parents have taken their children to eat delicious food, what do you want to eat, mom treats, and what new stationery do you need?" It can be seen that parents have the same attitude, and my mother is no exception.

"Mom, I want to eat the braised carp you made, stationery, and I don't need anything, some of my stationery was bought by my father in the sixth grade, and it can be used, just buy a few pens that can be used, and I just want to buy a new schoolbag, after all, the schoolbags bought in elementary school are pink, not to mention, they are all cartoon character patterns, not suitable for junior high school students." I said methodically.

"Okay, then let's go buy a schoolbag and a pen first, and then go home and my mother will make you braised carp to eat." My mother liked to hold my hand when she took me to play with me since I was a child, and it hasn't changed until now.

I feel like every week before the start of school, the time is like speeding up, passing faster than usual, looking at the class schedule sent down, every day is lined up very full, no longer the form of elementary school that enters the school at eight o'clock in the morning and ends school at three o'clock in the evening, more early self-study, eight o'clock on the formal class, in order to avoid lateness and distraction, the day before the start of school, I offered to change the hairstyle, so I asked my mother to accompany me to the barber shop to cut the long hair that had been left for six years into a short hair, for which I also silently shed tears, after all, six years, There is always discomfort in the heart after a sudden decision.

I happened to catch up with my father to rest, I smiled after watching the short haircut, and praised me for knowing that I was willing to pay attention to serious things, and after I packed my schoolbag in the evening, I heard my father call me and walked out of the room, and my father sat on the sofa in the living room and waved to me to let me sit next to him.

"My family is a junior high school student, and I have grown up again." My father said earnestly, flicked my bangs, his eyes were full of expectation, and took out a new set of clothes from behind him, "Dad took advantage of the time you went to the barbershop, went out for a turn, and when he entered the mall, he was stunned, and he didn't know what to buy as a gift for you, so he picked out a set of clothes." ”

I took the clothes, it was a set of sportswear that looked a bit like a primary school uniform, there was no logo, but it was the blue I liked, I opened the package and tried it, and it felt more like a primary school uniform on my body, he may have been used to seeing the school uniform I wore in elementary school, so I chose a set of clothes that looked pleasing to the eye and was somewhat familiar without picking, but despite this, this was the first time my father went out to pick a gift for me, "Thank you, Dad." ”

"It's good-looking, I look good in everything I wear, and with this little short hair, it looks more energetic." My father said he was satisfied, looked at me and kept touching my head and smiled stupidly, and then gave me a few candies as usual.

I folded the clothes my father gave me and put them next to my pillow, changed into pajamas and got into the bed, closed my eyes but couldn't sleep for a while, and began to think about what would happen to my classmates on the first day of school tomorrow, and if there were classmates to say hello, how should I respond to others or how to introduce myself to make more good friends, I fell asleep unconsciously, and I also dreamed of entering the class this night, and my classmates were very friendly in the dream, and I also made friends in twos and threes.

Entering the autumn, the morning from the curtain gap into the sunlight is not as dazzling as the summer, after a simple breakfast, my mother sent me to the school gate, but also gave me ten dollars in my hand, and saw me into the school, because the school has just started, the school has not yet issued a unified uniform, in addition to not allowing the wear of skirts, the students on the campus wear what color clothes have, from a distance, the scene in front of me is like a colorful watercolor painting, many students carry the schoolbag style is very special, There were also some logos printed on the front of the bag that I didn't recognize at the time, and I had never seen them.

When I walked into the class, most of the students in the class had already come, there were no study tasks for self-study on the first morning, and there were no fixed seats, and the students all sat on their own seats and looked around, and some of them seemed to have known each other before, and they sat together and talked quietly, and I didn't have any familiar classmates so I found a vacant seat and sat down.

"Is there anyone here?" The boy in front of him is not tall, and his appearance with glasses is not surprisingly exquisite, according to the current statement, it is the face of the public, and the only thing is that he is polite, like a white-faced scholar in a costume drama that he has watched.

"Huh?" This is the first time I have observed a boy so closely, when I was a child and played with boys crazy, I only remember what they were like, and I didn't look at them in detail, so that I didn't pay much attention to what he said, and paused for a moment before answering, obviously embarrassed, "No, no one." ”

He didn't speak anymore and sat down, this boy was the first person to talk to me after entering the class, and he was still sitting next to me, but it was too sudden, and when he wanted to speak, he was short of words, obviously he thought about a lot of words to introduce himself and say hello before going to bed last night, and now he forgot all about it, and he couldn't say a word, in order to avoid being embarrassed again, I still chose to shut up and not speak.

"What's your name?" After a moment of silence, he spoke, but he didn't look at me, just stared intently at the math he was about to learn, and he was a nerd.

"Huh?" I always seem to be slow to react, "My name is Xiao Maomao." ”

"I thought you were called." He glanced at me.

"Who is called, I said that my name is Xiao Maomao, what about you? What's your name? ”

"Huh?" He followed my example and asked, "Then my name is ah." After finishing speaking, he sneered, but he didn't expect him to have some humor.

"Then you can call it, and I will call you in the future."

"Don't, don't, my name is Ai Wenxue." My attitude made him think that I was angry, so he quickly picked up the topic, and after finishing speaking, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, which were a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses, and the thick spectacle lenses could be easily seen from the side.

"Ai Wenxue?" I feel that my name is already very funny, after listening to his name, I refreshed the storage of strange names in my mind, Ai Wenxue, how much his parents want him to study hard? Even his name reminds him all the time, and it seems that his parents should also be Wen Zou people.

"Don't get me wrong, although my name sounds the same as the last two words of "Youth Literature", there are differences in the words!" He then explained in a serious way, and at the same time found a place in the blank space of the book and wrote the words "Ai Wenxue" for me, don't look at the book and get angry, but the words are written crookedly, fortunately I can see it clearly.

"Wenxue, literature, anyway, it just sounds the same, it's all the same, it's all the same." I don't really care which two words are in his name.

"Well, you're happy! Random. "After listening to me, he didn't defend anything, he was quite a gentleman, which increased my favorability towards him.

The class bell rang, and the head teacher also walked into the classroom with a book, the head teacher had already seen it at the school-wide entrance meeting, but this time the distance was closer, it was a woman who looked similar to my parents' age, a half-length ponytail, a white shirt on the upper body, black trousers and black high heels, a unique pair of capable temperament of a professional woman, there were many road stones in the town before, so it was rare to see people wearing high heels, and in my impression, my mother did not wear them, What's more, the class teacher's shoes are a little taller than the high heels I have ever seen, she is on the thin side, and when she walks up to the podium, she looks extraordinarily tall, puts down the book in her hand and looks around at the students in the classroom for a week.

"Hello everyone, we met once at the entrance conference, introduced, my name is Cao Yan, you can call me Teacher Cao in the future, and I am also the head teacher of our class, I teach mathematics, and some things related to the school have been talked about at the conference, I think everyone is already very clear, I have only one requirement to enter the class, that is, as a junior high school student, I should focus most of my energy on learning." After Mr. Cao finished speaking, he opened the math book, "By the way, there is also that, you may have heard of military training, but our school is the only junior high school in this urban area without military training, so you have also escaped, this hardship will be left to wait for high school and then eat, outside the study task is heavy, I will not take up too much class time, other things like self-introduction, row of seats or something, and then do it in the afternoon when we do the self-study class, please cherish the opportunity for you to wear ordinary clothes, after the afternoon self-study class, you should collectively measure the size, customize the school uniform for you, after the school uniform is issued, There are no special circumstances, as long as you enter the school, you will wear a school uniform, and then the official class will be held. ”

It may be the freshness of the new school year, or the curiosity of the new environment, and the feeling that the first day of school passes fairly quickly, and the lunch break is ......
