On July 1, 2004, Li Hansheng brought tables and chairs to Eucalyptus Middle School to report and was assigned to Class 131. Li Hansheng was black and thin, he looked up at the school gate that was not tall, and muttered: "What a big school gate, much better than the broken school gate in the elementary school." Li Xiaosong, a cousin on the side, pouted: "This broken school gate is also big?" Hurry up and I'll take you to your dorm and help you lay out the quilt. Li Hansheng nodded, quickened his pace and followed his cousin to the dormitory.

The dormitory is a converted classroom, with more than a dozen beds, bunk beds, and two people sleep in one bunk. But the sister and brother have been living hard since they were children, so they don't think so. Li Xiaosong helped him choose an upper bunk by the window and laid a quilt for him. Li Hansheng watched from the side, Li Xiaosong is the daughter of his third uncle's family, two years older than him, they grew up together since childhood, and they have a good relationship. Soon the quilt was laid, and Li Xiaosong took him to exchange rice for a meal ticket, ten yuan and twelve meal tickets, Li Hansheng was very reluctant, "Try to eat the dishes brought from home, and the food tickets will be eaten once in a while to satisfy your hunger," he thought to himself.

"Songzi, then you can also go to report, I'll go to the classroom by myself."

"Yes, pay attention to yourself!"

Li Hansheng found his classroom on the third floor, and there were already several students in the classroom who had paid the fees from the class teacher. The head teacher's name is Xu Shanxiu, a chubby old man, wearing glasses, smiling, and kind eyes.

"Hello teacher, I'm Li Hansheng, how much is the tuition?"

"Oh, hello classmates!"

The head teacher smiled and nodded. "The tuition fee is 400 yuan, just pay the money here and take the list to the first floor of the back building to get the book."

I took the book to the classroom, and found that only the empty seat at the back was left. Li Hansheng sat down and wrote his name in the book, thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to the head teacher about the seats in the lower row. He chirped as the head teacher was about to go back to the office, and stood up and ran to the head teacher, startling his front desk.

"Damn, what is this kid doing!" Wang Jiang's eyes were staring at Li Hansheng, seeing what he was going to do.

The head teacher was also a little surprised, but his expression did not change, and he was still smiling.

"Li Hansheng, right, I remember you, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, can you put me in the front when you line up the seats, I don't have good hearing, I can't hear when I sit in the back." Li Hansheng looked up at the head teacher, his eyes were intertwined with hope and inferiority, which was slightly complicated.

"It's going to take a few days to row up the seats, you sit first, and I'll put you in front of the queue depending on the situation." The head teacher had an unconcealed sympathy in his eyes and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you, teacher!" Li Hansheng lowered his head and returned to his seat, he saw the sympathetic eyes of the head teacher, although he had seen it many times, he thought he was used to it, but he was still sad. He touched his eyes, and it was okay, not wet.

I picked up the pen and continued to write my name on the book, but the swing of the pen seemed to be a little difficult.

"Li Hansheng, what did you say to the head teacher? Look at your sullen face? The head teacher said you? Wang Jiang was originally a little annoyed by Li Hansheng's sudden uprightness, but looking at his dejected appearance, the anger in his heart disappeared all at once, and he asked with concern. At the same time, with a little curiosity, eager to know what was going on.

"It's nothing, the head teacher didn't say anything about me, it's the first time I've been so far away from home, and I'm a little sad." Li Hansheng didn't want his classmates to know about his bad hearing so quickly, so he panicked.

"Oh!" Wang Jiang suddenly realized and patted Li Hansheng on the shoulder.

"So that's it, it's okay, I'll get used to it after a while."
