Chapter 21: A New Life
Today is the first of September.
A truly uniform start time for schools across the country.
Although most high schools start early, it still does not affect the significance of September 1st to students, it often marks the beginning, the beginning of a new life.
The night before, the class leader instructed everyone to have a school opening ceremony tomorrow morning, and everyone must wear a full-body school uniform.
The morning of September 1st, which was also the morning of Monday, was a lively start to the day.
Elementary school students were sent to school by their parents with schoolbags on their backs today, and the middle and high school students who arrived at the school the afternoon before today are also officially opened, and they went to school with their schoolbags on their backs with a vibrant face. Most of the adults start their week today and are busy shuttling through the streets. The whole town is a busy scene.
Lin Shanghan was also infected by the vitality of the whole city today, and he didn't feel as sleepy as before, he felt that his new life had begun, he didn't even sleep when he read in the morning, and he finished his morning exercise seriously for the first time. The whole Guangming Middle School has a little more vigorous vitality.
At the end of the second class, everyone walked bustling to the school square, and each class lined up in a long line, from front to back in order of grade, and the senior high school students were lined up in the farthest place from the rostrum.
The freshman students wore the same new school uniforms as the repeaters, stood at the front of the big line, chatted happily with each other, and got to know the new classmates who were going to be in the same school for three years, and for them to really start school.
The sophomore students wore old sports uniforms with red and white stripes, which looked much better than the new uniforms. They were busy talking and laughing with each other and exchanging interesting stories about the holidays. The college entrance examination is still some distance away from them, and the study at this time is not particularly intense.
The senior students wear the same school uniforms as the sophomores, and as the most senior in the school, they are a little more sophisticated and mature, and they are also the closest people to the college entrance examination. Students who love to learn are holding all kinds of small books and pocket books and reciting them, and those who are not in a hurry to study are talking and laughing together in groups.
The senior students wore new school uniforms, which stood out next to a group of senior students in old school uniforms, and the clothes drew a clear line between them and the senior students. Although they and the senior students will face the same college entrance examination, they are people from two different worlds. They suffer from the strange eyes of high school juniors.
The more time you spend together, the more interested you are in your own person.
Lin Shanghan stood behind Zhu Zhishuang, holding a word book in his hand, which was Enbo's green pocket book "3000 Words Must Be Memorized in the College Entrance Examination". In fact, Lin Shanghan didn't plan to take this thing, and he always felt that the person who endorsed it at this time was a bit pretentious. But everyone else took it, so they had to pretend to take a copy.
When the flag is raised, the greatest pleasure for people like Lin Shanghan is to look at the beautiful girls in the surrounding classes. It's rare for the whole school to get together, so when will you wait if you don't watch it at this time? Lin Shanghan and Zhu Zhishuang glanced at the girls around them with hungry wolf-like eyes, and commented on the beautiful girls they saw with each other.
At this moment, the host on the rostrum began to audition into the microphone, "Hey, hey, hey" and "hey" endlessly.
Finally tried, a girl began the opening ceremony of the eternal beginning of the "Golden Autumn September-".
What makes this group of repeaters from other schools feel strange is that after the girls finish reading, there is still an English version of the male voice's host script? I have to admire Guangming Middle School is to play, but unfortunately the horn is not very face-saving, Chinese is not audible, English is mixed with the sound of electricity, it sounds like a fool muttering to himself.
After the flag was raised, it was time for the principal to speak. As usual, no one listened to this kind of speech, except for his high-pitched last sentence, "Students, the time has come to struggle!" "It's particularly tragic, as if there is a group of soldiers underneath who are ready to go and never return.
Lin Shanghan also spontaneously developed a spirit of hard work, not infected by the principal's speech, but this specific ceremony, which marked the beginning of an academic year, gave Lin Shanghan a desire to struggle.
Back in the classroom, the next session is a boring physics lesson. The physics teacher's hypnotic middle-aged man's voice made Lin Shanghan, who was still thinking about working hard a moment ago, lower his noble head again, and almost slammed it directly on the desk.
The physics teacher also found Lin Shanghan sleeping in the corner, and deliberately took advantage of the effort to let everyone do the problem and quietly walked in front of Lin Shanghan.
"Snap", hitting Lin Shanghan's bare neck, it was particularly crisp and loud.
In an instant, the eyes of the whole class focused on Lin Shanghan's side, and after a short silence, a burst of laughter broke out.
Lin Shanghan still raised his head immediately out of muscle memory, but it was obviously too late, so he had to lower his head and flip through the book in embarrassment.
Zhu Zhishuang, who was at the same table, looked at Lin Shanghan while lowering his head and snickering. When the physics teacher walked away, Lin Shanghan asked Zhu Zhishuang why he didn't call him.
Zhu Zhishuang said with a wicked smile: "I just woke up myself." ”
Lin Shanghan didn't doubt him, after all, Zhu Zhishuang's perennial sleeping kung fu gave him a special early perception function.
It's that being like this is a bit detrimental to my image in the hearts of girls. Lin Shanghan thought a little sullenly.
Everything seems to be so new today, even today's weather is exceptionally sunny, and the golden sunlight outside the window just shines in through the window next to Lin Shanghan at this time, plating Lin Shanghan's black hair with a layer of gold.
After class, Lin Shanghan walked out of the classroom, lying on the fence, looking at the students on the opposite floor and also looking at the students here, but there was a meaning of "you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you from upstairs".
After the official opening of the school, Lin Shanghan felt that the whole garden seemed to have become a little different. Although the senior high school students in this garden have already started school, today is obviously a little different, I can't say it, but it actually exists.
The boy in the same class next to him was still ridiculing Lin Shanghan's encounter in class, and Lin Shanghan didn't bother to reply, after all, whoever encountered this kind of thing would be ridiculed by everyone.
Wang Xiaoyang leaned against the wall outside the class, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at every girl passing by, almost propping up the small tent directly.
On the other side, Yangtze Jiang was greeting the passing girls with a smile. This guy has re-read and can know so many girls, and his ability to flirt with girls in his third year of high school can also be seen.
People come and go, and every repeater has a new breath on his face. The identity of "repeat student" is no longer important at this moment, everyone is at the beginning of a new life, the beginning of a new college entrance examination.
In the fourth chemistry class, I waited for a long time and no teacher came. The class representative went to the office to look around, but he couldn't find the teacher.
Just when Lin Shanghan was about to read the magazine and pass the class comfortably, a small old man with a short stature walked in outside the door, with a simple smile on his face, holding a stack of handouts in his hand, and walked in quickly.
Under the gaze of the whole class, he smiled and said: "Ah, I will teach you chemistry in the future, my surname is Weng, you can go to the office on the second floor to ask me if you have any questions." ”
I don't know if it's because he talks with a smile the whole time, he looks extraordinarily amiable. Lin Shanghan was also attracted by this interesting little old man, and this teacher will have a huge impact on Lin Shanghan's entire repetition life in the future.
He continued to talk about the "periodic nature of the elements" mentioned by the young female teacher before, in a gentle tone, and the whole process was handwritten. Teachers like these older generations don't seem to like to use PPT, they don't care about being tired of writing by hand and taking a little bit of tongue. And those new teachers like to put PPT one by one, and ask the students below to take notes, and I don't know if they should be called "PPT" teachers. This is also the reason why it is difficult for new teachers to surpass their old teachers.
Chemistry is undoubtedly the shortcoming of a considerable number of people for physical and chemical students (mainly determined by the unique nature of course selection in the Jiangsu college entrance examination, which is proportionally divided into grades, and there are relatively few people who study chemistry), especially Lin Shanghan's class of chemistry in the college entrance examination with only one-tenth of the talents who have reached "B" or above, and it is undoubtedly lucky to meet an experienced teacher.
Lin Shanghan also listened carefully to a class for the first time since the beginning of school, and said goodbye to the teacher when he got out of class.
went home at noon, because of the new semester, only my mother came back to get food for Lin Shanghan at noon.
After eating, Lin Shanghan lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep.
Lin Shanghan remembered Li Linxi, who was far away in the provincial capital. "She's probably still in military training, right?"
Last year, I started the new semester with Li Linxi, prepared for the college entrance examination the same, left new blessings on each other's message boards, and were full of confidence in the future......
But at this moment, he went back to the past, and Li Linxi went down with time. A year seems to be a short time, but it is extraordinarily long, so long that their future school, work, etc. will be separated by a year.
What the impact of this year will be, no one knows. In short, Lin Shanghan is as confident as last year, and the future is promising.
On the way to school in the afternoon, Lin Shanghan didn't meet Li Yixuan this time, but met Deng Ziyi.
"Have you been in touch with Li Linxi recently?" Deng Ziyi asked.
"No, I don't have a mobile phone or a computer, how can I get in touch?" Lin Shanghan stretched out his hands helplessly.
"Haha, Li Linxi sent me a message at noon."
Lin Shanghan came to his senses when he heard it, "What did she talk to you about?" ”
"Do you want to know that?" Deng Ziyi deliberately hung Lin Shanghan.
"Say it quickly." Lin Shanghan was very anxious.
"Then you can bring me dinner tonight." Deng Ziyi said with a smile in a wink.
Lin Shanghan nodded again and again.
"She just told you to study hard in the new semester, you see how much Li Linxi cares about you."
After hearing this, Lin Shanghan was moved by Li Linxi's concern in his heart.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, should you care about me?"
"She also asked me to supervise you to study hard."
"Oh, that's what you have to worry about." Lin Shanghan said in a weird way.
Deng Ziyi glanced at Lin Shanghan with a smile, and walked to the classroom with Lin Shanghan talking and laughing. Because of Li Linxi's relationship, the relationship between Lin Shanghan and Deng Ziyi has become better and better.
Due to the start of school today, the songs played at dinner are no longer so uniform, and today Deng Ziqi's version of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" was played. The song was played through the school's loudspeakers, and the reverberation effect formed between the campus buildings sounded a special sense of shock.
"The brightest star in the night sky, please light me forward."
In the evening, the sky is blood-red, with a little twinkling stars, a piece of infinite beauty.
This group of repeat students have not found the meaning of existence after the college entrance examination, and they have all been lost in the night, so let today's stars give them the courage to believe in a new life.
