Chapter 8, Schools

Our school is very large, elementary, middle, and high school are all in one school. Almost all kids my age in the city go to high school here. Our school is too far away from most students' homes, and the school, after several trade-offs, decided that all students in the school must live on campus, without exception.

The school was built in the northernmost part of the city, on a hill, and the reason why it was chosen to be built here was that many years ago, the great man who established the city chose this feng shui treasure land, and he asked someone to calculate that it was very suitable for building a school.

I don't remember exactly how many years ago, but it was built here for a long time, and with the passage of time, the style of the building has changed, the teachers who taught and educated people, and the students who have come and gone, the only thing that has not changed is that it has always been here, in the northernmost part of the city.

My uncle graduated from here, and even my father and mother graduated from here, and they said that it was a good place to study, with good feng shui and a beautiful environment.

I read it in a book, and someone said, "If you want to know what a city is like, you can just look at the schools in that city." It is enough to destroy a city, to destroy the schools of this city. "Maybe the author of the book is right or not, but if someone says it, I'll make a note of what someone said.

I didn't deeply feel that a school could represent a city, but what I found out was that a school was a society, and we, the students, represented all social classes in the city, and represented the social status of his parents in the city.

For most families like Zheng Qi and Xing Lu, their parents will not have any other way to contact their children than to stand at the school gate all night to pray for their children. There is no way the principal will be available to answer their calls, there are simply too many of them. The police, ** have spoken, their children must cooperate and be investigated, and they cannot pick up their children.

For them, they are unlucky, their children do not belong to them at some point, and their children can never be completely theirs. Each of them can never belong to that person completely, and they can't always have the person they want to have forever, they all just belong to this society.

There are exceptions, and for families like me, most of the time, we have privileges and are treated differently than ordinary families. The principal patiently called our parents' phone numbers to explain to our parents and persuade our parents to cooperate with the school's work.

They told our parents that this is inevitably a way to train us, and if they even move out of the school, if the reputation is ruined, it will definitely lead to the loss of all the projects that our parents have invested in the school, and we will also be buried in the best universities, and the opportunity to study abroad will also be buried, and they will let our parents compromise and let us stay in a way that is good for us and for the good of our parents.

As a student like me, everyone can have a brief phone call with our parents. I took my phone, was silent for a while, and finally called my father's number, on the other end of the phone, my father said a few simple greetings, he didn't know what to say to me, as the mayor of the city, he couldn't give me a privilege alone.

He said, "Baby, I'm sorry for you, I can't take you away and leave the other kids behind." "As a father, he blamed himself for not taking good care of me.

I don't think my father really needs to blame himself for such a thing. Because he was my father, I became the lucky one in the minds of too many people to get the best education and have what I wanted. It was also because he was my father that I was born with the dignity that some people have to fight for all their lives to achieve.

The greatest treasure he has given me besides my life is my dignity, and in order to thank him, I must not let him be embarrassed at this time. I told him on the phone, "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." He hung up.

I looked at Mei Dai, her phone didn't seem to get through, so she quickly gave the phone to the next classmate who was going to call, and then walked back to me, without saying anything but standing beside me, suddenly at this time, I remembered one thing: I had never met Mei Dai's parents.

I never thought it was anything, but at that moment, I knew it was a very important thing. I gently took her hand, hoping that she would forget what had just happened.

I saw that a boy didn't get through the phone either, he wasn't like Mei Dai, he threw his phone on the ground in anger, and then ran out of the classroom as fast as he could, and the teacher quickly chased him out. Another teacher brought a mobile phone from Xinlai and asked another classmate to make a call, and it was a girl who I thought was very gentle, and she kept crying, and the more she cried, the more fierce she became, and after that, the teacher took her away.

The next boy to call, after answering the phone, hung up quickly. The other boy who called was the same, and after answering the phone, he hung up quickly. Another girl scolded on the other end of the phone and asked her mother to find a way to pick her up quickly.
