Chapter 15 Entering the Campus for the First Time and Being Different
Although my mother disliked that the box was too small, but in the end she couldn't bear the boss's side knocks like how much you see the child liked, and settled the bill and asked me to put the basin and the contents in the box, and let me pull the box away, not to mention, the embarrassment of no longer holding a basin in one hand made my psychological pressure a lot less, and the embarrassing feeling of suffocation just now gradually dissipated. After buying things, my mother said to take me to eat a good meal before the splint (1), so she took me to Madters, at that time there was no KFC in our small town, but naturally there were people who had seen the world, and when I returned to the town, I found that the market was vacant, and a store monopolized the market, and at that time our people did not recognize fast food such as hamburgers, and their stereotype was that it was expensive and not enough, so it was better to use the money to buy some rice and some meat.
Eating hamburgers and fries, I was a little dazed when I saw that there were always children rushing in at the door of the store but being dragged out by their parents. A year ago, I was a wild child peeing and mud in the mountains, and now I sit here, without worrying about food and clothing, and can enjoy all this that ordinary children dream of, it is simply a sweet dream that will not wake up, and the small grievances I have suffered before are too insignificant compared to these. But when I think of the past, I think of the bungalow in the village, and then of the grandmother and aunt in the bungalow. Hey, I don't know when I'll see them again, but when I grow up, I'll go back and see them, and I'm secretly determined to chew on the copycat burgers that I thought were delicious at the time.
September 3rd –
"Baby, you have to be obedient at school, behave well, don't embarrass your mother, remember?" Before entering the school gate, my mother still did not forget to tell me, I took the school bag she handed me and followed her to the school. Since this school was recommended by Uncle Meng, he also came with him today, and my father carried my futon in the back. The reason why I didn't go to school on September 1st was because they had to come to the school first, and the inspection here is not just for sightseeing. Later, after I became sensible, my mother told me that the school from the principal to the teacher they have all "dotted" (2), after all, it is a private school, and it is only a "profit" word, so I eat his businessman's set, and the so-called "more care and care" for a child can be exchanged for a lot of money, who can refuse? Therefore, the adults probably know where the dormitory is, and I have paid my tuition during the "inspection", so I don't have to go through the process of ordinary students, I just keep my head down and follow them, I don't know what I will face next, and I have no idea about living on campus.
When we came to the door of the dormitory, a fat aunt with short hair rubbed her hands together and walked towards us with a smile: "Oh, this is 'Jiang Jiabao', the principal told me, come here, I have arranged everything in the dormitory." "The fat aunt led us into a small three-story building, turned to a room on the second floor, stopped, rummaged through a bunch of keys and found the corresponding one, opened the door, and welcomed us in.
"I heard that the child is small, so I picked a bunk for him, and there is a child living next to him, which also saves him from being afraid." The fat aunt pointed to an empty bed in the lower bunk, and asked for credit without a trace, and my mother naturally understood the hint: "Oh, teacher, you bothered." After that, I took the dormitory teacher to the corridor, I don't know what to do, and now I think about it either to stuff money or give gifts. Uncle Meng and Dad helped me make my bed on the only vacant bed. I was the most idle one, so I observed this dormitory, there were 6 bunks in the room, one door was boundary, four on the left, two on the right, and a tripod was crudely welded between the upper and lower bunks, which was a ladder for going up and down. My bed was on the left side of the door, and across the aisle was a six-compartment wooden cabinet full of locks.
At this time, my mother and the dormitory manager came back, and the smile on the corner of my aunt's mouth was piled up even more, and my mother put the box down, took out the toiletry from it, put it under the bed, and told me to remember to brush my teeth on time. After speaking, he turned out the crumpled clothes from the box and folded them again, and the dormitory teacher saw it and quickly walked to the cabinet and opened a box that had not yet been locked, this is Jiang Jiabao's cabinet, you can put the clothes here. Mom looked up, "Teacher, can I put food in here?" I'm afraid that the new child will not be used to eating this stuff and will be hungry again. The teacher nodded: "It's okay, but I don't recommend it, don't worry, the school cafeteria is not the same every day, it's been two days since the school started, I think the children love to eat, but if you don't feel at ease, put some money in his homeroom teacher, the child wants to spend money, the homeroom teacher will give it to him, if you go to buy him food in a while, buy him a small lock by the way, look at this, other children are locked in the cabinet door." As she spoke, she gestured in front of the cabinet.
After cleaning up the dormitory, I said goodbye to the dormitory teacher at the dormitory gate, and the adults led me towards the playground.
