Chapter 7: The First Time
Without Zhou Jingjing's noise, the classroom still continued the painstaking efforts of the teachers, the sky above the playground was blue, and a few birds skimmed briskly across the vast sky, leaving no traces of flying.
The school does not have a formal red carpet track, nor does it have a standard green carpet court, the students of S School in P City are from here, 200 square meters of yellow mud land, all classes of physical education classes are taught in the yellow mud land, activity classes and practice classes are in the yellow mud land, the teacher-student meeting is still completed in the yellow mud land, the yellow mud land is the cradle of students' growth, and the yellow mud land is also the foundation of food.
Children's toys are yellow mud, when they were young, they used the sticky yellow mud to dress up their families, everyone would use the yellow mud to pinch pots and pans and chopsticks, or pinch the little people, pinch a flower, pinch a house, children are talented engineers, are talented artists.
Once upon a time, these primitive toys disappeared and were replaced by expensive plasticine from the supermarket, plus a whole bunch of unhealthy plastic toys.
With the development of science and technology, the progress of society, the improvement of human cultural quality, and the leap of human spiritual civilization, there are always some primitive, healthy, and fun things to be sacrificed, which is the objective law of survival of the fittest, which is the sorrow of society, and also the helplessness of human beings.
If people were to choose again in their childhood, I think everyone would not hesitate to choose the progress of the times, choosing a bunch of ruthless plastic toys instead of the yellow mud that they have a soft spot for.
However, in the material living conditions of the nineties, children only deserved to play with mud; In the 90s, the conditions of rural teachers, the hardware facilities of the school could only be equipped with a yellow mud land playground, and there was no sports field, and the stadium was said.
On the same day, Principal Li held a meeting of all teachers and students, and the students were divided into two teams to jog in the playground in turn, orderly, well-trained, and obeying the order would eventually save the time of the participants, and there was no chaos at all.
The playground of School S is one meter and a half below the level of the classroom, and the hosts, Mr. Zhou and Principal Li, stood majestically on the steps, waiting for the queue to end.
In the course of the meeting, "beep ······" There was an uproar at the bottom of the steps, and there were boos, and it turned out that the pager pinned by Principal Li on the waistband of his trousers rang.
In the nineties, there was no mobile phone in the S school, only Principal Li spent 2,000 yuan to buy a pager, it is said that Principal Li spent three months' salary, bought home and was educated by his mother and father, and then reprimanded, Principal Li's parents always felt that their son could be promoted to the principal at a young age, it was their two elders who taught well, and it was not a good thing that the son did not know how to thrift.
Fortunately, Principal Li is unmarried, otherwise he will be crippled by his wife.
Other leaders, as well as teachers' salaries, could not afford to buy a pager, and the main means of communication relied on writing letters and making pay phones.
In the nineties, there was already a mobile phone in the countryside of P City, called "Big Brother", with a market price of about twenty or thirty thousand, which was also the earliest mobile phone, but ordinary people, office workers, and civil servants, and educators could not afford it.
The pager sends a message to the other party through the paging station, and after the pager receives the message, it then finds a public phone to call the other party's nearby public phone, or calls the pager, asks the pager to call a certain number, and informs the pager of the content of the message, the pager charges profits according to the number of words, and the pager staff repeats what the content of the customer says.
I remember one time, Yin Xiaoyu's cousin, who worked along the coast, went home to visit relatives and called the paging station in Yin's mother's shop, and he said, "Lao Tzu will return to the factory in two days." His granny's boobs! ”
Cousin is learning from Lao Jiang and scolding his boss for urging him, Lao Tzu hasn't been home for three years, what's wrong with a few more days of rest? The capitalists know how to exploit the toiling masses, you exploit Lao Jiang and try it, and a shot will jump on you! The cousin told the pager staff to send a pager message to his boss word for word.
The paging desk staff said in a sweet voice, "Okay, thank you, goodbye." ”
My cousin really went back to work two days later, and my cousin's colleague, the boss's secretary Xiaomei, happened to meet my cousin, who had been squatting on the old train for a day and a night, carrying a washed canvas bag and a snakeskin bag on his shoulders, like a deserter.
The little beauty is beautiful, with a nice voice and enthusiasm, "Master Yin, you're tired of taking the train all night, do you want to help?" ”
"No, no, I won't be tired when I see you, big beauty, how can there be any reason to let a lady carry a bag?"
"Master Yin, when you call the boss, the boss is in a meeting, and the boss's call is handled by me, I saw your message."
"Oops, Xiaomei, I'm very sorry, I was wrong."
"What's wrong? Master Yin, you said it very well, you said, 'I'll be at the factory in two days', which is concise and clear. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, that's what I said. Xiaomei, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you a little! ”
"Master Yin, what are you talking about, hurry back to the dormitory to clean up and work, the boss has taken a few big orders, and he's busy!"
The cousin has a little bit of interest in Xiaomei, and the whole factory knows it, but Xiaomei can always cleverly bypass suitors without offending people.
Xiaomei is a coastal local, intelligent, Cousin Yin, does Yin Toad want to eat swan meat? The swan is for appreciation, dragging it into the water, and the wet feathered swan looks like a duck. Beautiful things need to be admired by thousands of people, looking up means looking up, looking, that's all.
Why did the message sent by my cousin become five words? My cousin knew it was because the paging desk staff had filtered out the unpleasant words.
This excellent way of communication has not been passed down to this day, with the mushrooming of mobile phones into the Chinese market, answer the phone and call no longer look for a public phone, mobile phones are sought after by thousands of households, pagers are shelved, in 2000, the millennium, pagers completely withdrew from the market, disappeared, and can no longer find a communication method with the function of filtering swear words.
At this moment, the subtitles that Principal Li saw must be civilized, or filtered.
After Principal Li read the news, he skillfully pinned the pager to his waist, a large bunch of keys, and a small pair of scissors, as if the more other things on his waist, the more noble his status.
All eyes under the stairs were focused on Principal Li's waist, looking up at his pager, looking up at his power, looking up at his status.
Next, Principal Li announced a good news to all teachers and students, the Education Bureau has a painting competition, choose two people to participate, each class in the school can choose two people to learn to paint, the school for this painting competition to set up a painting class, a three-month professional training, free learning.
It is a great honor that Yin Xiaoyu and Han Bing were both selected into the school's painting class.
Every afternoon after school, the painting class stays for an hour to study, and on holidays and weekends, I study professional painting.
Yin Xiaoyu and Han Bing were originally talented, worked hard in the painting class, meticulous, and ranked among the best, three months down, the two have grown a lot, excellent grades, and with the recognition of the art teacher, the whole school chose Yin Xiaoyu and Han Bing to represent the school to participate in the P City competition.
This is also the first time Yin Xiaoyu went to the farthest place, the first time he went to P City, which is an hour's bus ride away from home, the first time he went to the city, the first time, Yin Xiaoyu and Han Bing left their hometown to accompany each other, and the first time, Yin Xiaoyu and Han Bing's paintings both won awards.
Since then, their love for painting has increased dramatically day by day, just as their friendship has been growing longer and deeper.
