CHAPTER II. 7

The town's school opened on September 1, but the village waited until the peanut harvest was complete. So Han Xiaoxiao, they were just in time.

The two of them carried the cloth bag sewn by Li Xiuhua and walked out happily. The location of the school is on the row of bungalows of the former supply and marketing cooperative. There are only sixty or seventy children in the village, so three classrooms are enough, mainly to teach Chinese and arithmetic.

The arithmetic teacher was Liu Changsheng, the principal, who used to work as an accountant in a town-run enterprise, but returned to the village after the company went bankrupt. can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands, and it just so happened that the village ran a school, so he took over this livelihood through his mother-in-law. The one who taught the language was his sister-in-law, Zhao Lihua, the sister of the women's director. After graduating from middle school, she worked as a nanny for the propaganda director's family in the town for a few years, and Liu Changsheng called her back because she was short of people. But she is still young, and she always feels that she has worked in the leader's family, and she is half a civilized person, and she disdains to do those trivial things. So the school also invited two idle women to come and help. One teaches art who can draw patterns and cut window flowers, and the other is a teacher who sings Henan opera who married from a foreigner. In addition to classes, these two are also responsible for cleaning and cleaning.

Xiao Lu was very cramped when he first entered the classroom, afraid that people would make fun of him for being a mute. But the whip in Liu Changsheng's hand made a "crackling" sound, which was very scary. So the group of donkeys, eggs, and hairy girls sitting below looked at each other in shock. Coupled with Liu Changsheng's white skin, which is different from that of a farmer, and old-fashioned black-framed glasses, no one dares to make a mistake when they look at it.

In fact, they were not only afraid of Liu Changsheng, but they had also beaten them at home before they came. This women's director of Zhaowa Village is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Many years ago, there were several women in the village who secretly conceived the second child, and stayed at home for a few months without going out, thinking that when the child sat firmly, the village would not be able to deal with it, so she was naturally born. I didn't expect to be discovered by Director Zhao, and I went to have an abortion! Some months old, Shengsheng was pressed on the delivery bed and scraped the uterus, many children were formed, and the pain of being a mother was so painful that she came back to life, crying and shouting in her mouth, it was useless! In the end, it was handled cleanly, and there was not a single fish in the whole village that slipped through the net. After this incident, many people in the village hated her to the core, but the proportion of fear was greater, and no one wanted to provoke such a person. Therefore, before the children go to school, they all give a good advice, don't make homework in school!

Liu Changsheng didn't care about the twists and turns, he was quite satisfied with the reaction of the group of children below. Looking at his snotty face, black fingernails, and mud-stained soles, he felt a little disgusted, and he didn't know how to clean up when he came to school. His eyes swept to the path where he was sitting by the window, and he felt a little relieved. He knew Han Xiaoxiao in the same seat, the situation at home was a mess, and she was a sloppy girl in the past, but now she looks pleasing to the eye, although it is not as white as the boy next to her, but her appearance is still quite thoughtful. He had heard his mother-in-law say that Han Daguang's family had a son from outside, and it seemed that this was it.

Liu Changsheng, as the principal, symbolically spoke a few words on the first day of school. It's nothing more than studying hard, being admitted to the middle school in the town, and not embarrassing your parents or anything like that. Seeing that the group of children below didn't react and didn't know how to applaud or anything, he also felt uninterested. waved her hand and handed it to Zhao Lihua, asking her to take the children to read and write her name first.

In fact, there are already a lot of textbooks for primary schools, but Zhaowa Village is a school that was only opened last year, and it is blind to what to teach. In the past, the conditions in the village were good or not too troublesome, and they all went to school in the town, and it took forty or fifty minutes by bicycle to pick up and drop off at home. However, they are lagging behind, and many families are too far away or for some other reason, and their children have not signed up for school until they are eight or nine years old, so they follow the practice of some other villages and open schools in the villages to solve the problem of children's difficulty in going to school.

However, due to the lack of experience and teachers, I had to find out on my own. The children who enrolled last year are also, first learn to recognize the name, and then learn to write the name, Zhao Lihua can't teach pinyin, so I just skipped it. When you learn to write your name, you can take the Chinese arithmetic round. Arithmetic is to memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, and then to plan the plate, which is Liu Changsheng's strength. However, many people in the village are reluctant to spend money to buy abacus for their children, so they don't really learn much, and they are all blind with an abacus drawn on cardboard.

In the morning, one section of Chinese counts, and there is still an exercise in the middle, just in the open space in front of the seed station, Han Xiaoxiao listens to the loudspeaker with great interest every time, throws his arms and legs, and finds it very interesting. Mainly because Xiaolu's limbs are a little uncoordinated, and he always crutches, so Han Xiaoxiao "giggles" and laughs non-stop.

I went home for lunch, and then came over for an art class and a music class. Han Xiaoxiao's writing is crooked, the arithmetic is confused, she and Xiaolu don't have an abacus, and she cuts paper in art class, and she can't even cut five petals of plum blossoms, so the scores of these courses are a bit unsightly, but the music class has the first place with one mouth, what is learning like anything. It's a pity that she has no interest in Henan Opera at all, so the teacher is too lazy to work hard with her.

The path is different, on the first day of school, the word "Han Lu" was written on the paper neatly, and at first glance, there is some foundation, and the ninety-nine multiplication table can also be written down silently. It was especially made Liu Changsheng look at him differently.

However, the babies in the village don't care if you write well or not, whether you can count or not, this can't affect their sneering at Xiaolu, especially Hu Fat'er, who lives in front of his yard. Han Xiaoxiao was angry, fought with them twice, and was caught by the teacher.

Liu Changsheng was anxious to stand up in front of the students, so he taught the troublesome children a hard lesson. Everyone was afraid of his whip that would "snap" with his buttocks, so they had no choice but to stop fighting.

Han Xiaoxiao is a female baby, so she smokes in the palm of her hand, and several red marks are swollen high. Xiao Lu looked so distressed that he burst into tears.

Han Xiaoxiao teased him and said, "I was the one who was beaten, what are you crying for?" When I saw him from the beginning, I cried and cried, why can't I change this problem? ”

Xiaolu's face turned red, and he thought: Aren't I sorry for you!

Han Xiaoxiao knew that he was embarrassed, so he got up seriously and coaxed him: "Okay, okay!" In the future, you won't talk about tears, let people see jokes! ”

Xiao Lu wiped away his tears after hearing this, turned his head and "hummed", and ignored her again. However, before going to bed, I still remembered to scoop a basin of cold water for her, and let her soak her hands in it to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

The school ends at 3 p.m. every day, neither delaying the teachers to go home to work, nor delaying the children to go up and down the mountains and ditches to have fun. Although they can't learn much culture, Han Xiaoxiao and the others have a fulfilling life.
