I didn't expect to take a week off before I went to class, and I didn't expect to see my dad again every four months. Standing at the sentry duty outside the port, Shi Jiaojiao and her mother looked very nervous. The young uncle who handled their boarding came out of the office hall and said with a smile: "Let's go, watch your father go." ”

As the voyage had to berth in China for several days, the Chinese crew on board were allowed to board the ship by their families. Although there are four ports to dock, and although the first port of entry is not the closest to the city where they live, Shi Jiaojiao's father still tries to make his wife and daughter the first family members to board the ship. Because he understands that there is a change in everything, just as you don't know when the wind will rise at sea.

When Dad walked up from the cabin as others said, the background was the gray and blue water of the Yangtze River, and the music was the roaring sound of machines and the whirring river breeze. After calming down, my father held Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder, looked at it carefully, and said to my mother: "Don't you think that Xiao Jiaojiao is running around and running out so high?" Mom looked at the old bedding in the small room and asked, "Is it so noisy all the time?" Dad nodded, Mom turned her face away, and looked at the Yangtze River through the round window.

A week passes quickly with the rotation of the wheels and the alternation of feet. Shi Jiaojiao sat in the classroom of the first (2) class of junior high school, desperately copying the class notes that had fallen. The students went to move freely, and the classroom was very quiet. The English word "big" corresponds to the word "big" in the note.

Copied here, Shi Jiaojiao was suddenly full of emotion, simply stopped her pen, and was stunned with her cheeks. She suddenly understood why growing up is called growing up, not "growing", growing "tall" or "old". The Yangtze River, which is 10 million times bigger than the lake for a picnic, the port city that is 100 times larger than the town, the steamship that is bigger than the house, and the classroom that is now bigger than the auditorium of the elementary school......

The biggest proof of growing up is that your world is growing up with you.

I don't know how the news spread, saying that Shi Jiaojiao took leave to go to the sea to see her father, who was a one-eyed dragon captain and owned a large ship that could hold 10,000 sailors. Rather than the plain facts, the students are more willing to believe in bizarre legends, and Shi Jiaojiao became "Captain Grant's daughter". In this mystery, she avoided the crampedness of the country children and quickly integrated into the environment of the big school.

Of the six sisters who were entangled in grievances in the past, only Shi Jiaojiao was in the same class as Lao Liu, and they were still at the same table, which was quite fatalistic. "Chen Li is in class 11," Shi Jiaojiao inserted the algebra textbook into the book and chatted with the sixth child, "I am already surprised that there are three classes in this world, and there are still eleven classes." ”

As soon as the sixth child was about to open his mouth, the boy from the primary school in the town next to him pouted, "We have a total of twelve classes in the first year of junior high school, but this is nothing, there are more than 20 classes in the first year of junior high school in the city." The two girls looked at each other with an incredulous expression, and the boy was full of ambition and joy at his knowledge. Before they could talk much, the fat cousin called the names of Shi Jiaojiao and Lao Liu at the back door of the classroom, and asked them to go back together at night.

The town middle school is one of the best middle schools in the surrounding towns, and the middle and high schools belong to the same school, so it has naturally become the largest distribution center for middle school students in the vicinity. There are day students who walk in the town, boarders in neighboring towns who take buses, and the largest proportion are "bicycle students" who come from villages near and far. It takes at least 35 minutes to ride back to the village from middle school, which gives students who originally belonged to the same primary school a lot of regular time to spend together.

The sixth still can't ride a bike, and the snowflake-shaped scar on her knee is engraved with the eternal fear of the bike. She was carried home by Shi Jiaojiao and her fat cousin in turn. However, before half a semester, the commercial housing bought by the sixth family in the town can be moved in, and the sixth child has become a townsman.

Shi Jiaojiao performed very well in the middle school exam, fourth in her grade and second in her class. The captain's daughter, who has been gradually forgotten, is back in everyone's field of vision again. Valued by her teachers and welcomed by her classmates, she is proud of her spring breeze and seems to have returned to a long, long time ago. The girl loved the new environment, and the benefits of the new environment seemed to prove what a wonderful prospect there was for getting out of that village.

After discussing the math supplementary questions with her classmates, Shi Jiaojiao shook her head and returned to her seat, only to find that the sixth child didn't know how long she had been crying on her stomach, and the reason must be the English test paper with bright red numbers written on it. patting the sixth child crying until she trembled on the back, Shi Jiaojiao only felt that she had no strength in her heart, why is it English, the answer in English cannot be explained, for example, choosing D is choosing D, it is correct but I can't say why. This means that I can't help the sixth child in English.

After recess exercises, the fourth child came to find the sixth child, and the time they had a few words of conversation at the door detonated the hearts of the boys in the second class, and they inquired about the news of the fourth, and that enthusiasm made Shi Jiaojiao, who grew up in a primary school with the fourth child, have an inexplicable sense of pride. "You guys are really beautiful in elementary school." The cross-eyed male classmate in the back seat stretched his neck to the elder, glanced at the sixth child who was about to sit down, and said to Shi Jiaojiao with a smile.

Elementary and junior high schools are just a summer apart, and the attitudes of boys and girls towards each other are so different. Who would have thought that both parties, who were ashamed to even breathe the same kind of air, would suddenly be so enthusiastic and ashamed when they faced each other again?

The sixth child took out the geography textbook, turned her head and met Shi Jiaojiao's inquiring eyes, she blinked and smiled: "The birthday gift for the old class will be sent over tomorrow." Originally, it was sent on Teacher's Day, but the fat cousin said that Teacher Tang was no longer our teacher, but fortunately, the boss knew Teacher Tang's birthday. ”

Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and remembered a past incident in the fourth grade. The old man took off his winter coat and put on thin clothes called "taking off the single", and the sixth child wore an orange hooded jacket when he took off the single, which was very good-looking. The squad leader thought that this jacket could be used as a sorority uniform, so on Sunday, everyone had to pay fifteen yuan and ask the sixth child's father to buy it.

The amount of fifteen yuan was so huge that Shi Jiaojiao didn't even have to think about going home to mediate, and immediately rejected the squad leader. The squad leader blushed and said sweetly, "Then how do you unify with your sisters?" Shi Jiaojiao looked down at her toes. From then on, they never knew about her money, even if it was an amount she could afford.

Seeing Shi Jiaojiao in a daze, the sixth child continued: "When I wrote the greeting card, I wrote our names together. Shi Jiaojiao came back to her senses and said, "What are you writing my name for!" She glared at the sixth child, "This gift has nothing to do with me, I don't know." Lao Liu bent his eyes and replied lightly: "Every time the gift has a relationship, I will give double money, and it must have your name." ”

Shi Jiaojiao is squeamish! She took a deep breath to curb her anger. The sound of music in class held Shi Jiaojiao's emotions in her lungs and manifested them in her red ears. Lao Liu clearly felt Shi Jiaojiao's anger, although she was aggrieved and afraid, she still wrote a small note "Don't be angry" and pressed it under the eraser and pushed it under Shi Jiaojiao's eyelids. Shi Jiaojiao took down the note, returned the eraser, and put it into the English-Chinese dictionary without looking at it. At this time, she can't communicate with anyone, communication is a collision.
