Chapter 40: County Studies
Hurry up and hurry up She was still done on the night when Li Bokang went to the county official school, and he looked very energetic when he changed into new clothes. She suddenly felt that he was really handsome, and he was seventeen years old this year, perhaps because of his experience, he didn't look like an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old. On the contrary, it looks mature, but the maturity reveals the vitality that should be there at this age.
The two of them set off very early in the morning, and this time she also packed some things herself, and she planned to stay in the county for two days and then come back.
They also went to the official newspaper of the county two days ago, and they can go directly today. Today, Li Bokang is wearing the new clothes she just made for him, and she herself has found a dress that looks a little newer.
When they arrived at the county school, it was already a little late, and the students in the school were already in class. The two of them were taken by Mr. Xueli to the dormitory where Li Bokang was going to live in the future, and after telling them which one it was, he explained to them: "The dormitory in Xueli is a room for four people, and there is only one person in the room you live in now, you can go in and choose a bed in the remaining two." I'll leave first if I have something to do, so you guys can clean up slowly, and it's almost time to get out of school. Then the gentleman went away, leaving the two men at the door.
Because there are men living inside, it is inconvenient for her to enter as a woman or an unmarried woman. Although he didn't mind, Li Bokang minded and others minded, so she handed over all the things to Li Bokang and waited outside for him to pack up before coming out.
Li Bokang in the dormitory is still proficient in making beds, and quickly chose a bed to clean up the bed, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he brought with him were also placed on the desk next to him. He put the rest on the bed for a while, and then came out.
After coming out, the two briefly said something, and she left, mainly to tell him to take care of himself and not to be too tired. There is also the idea that she will stay in the county for two more days, and let him go back to eat at night if he is fine. After saying this, she left, and Li Bokang also went to see her off, but it was also sent to the door of the school.
After seeing her leave, Li Bokang returned to the dormitory again and packed up all the things that had not been packed before. After cleaning up, I went to the direction of the school house that my husband had said, and it was quiet all the way, and there was no noisy sound.
When I arrived at the schoolhouse, it was also quiet, and I saw a gentleman sitting on a chair in front of the hall, and below it were students who were struggling to write. Seeing this, Li Bokang didn't bother rashly, but just stepped forward to the place at the door of the school.
At first the gentleman did not notice his arrival, but it was a long time before he noticed someone standing in the doorway. After discovering it, I looked at the people below and didn't notice it, so I slowly walked out, and asked and learned that he was here before letting her in.
When he entered, he coughed and said, "Okay, let's stop for a while." Then he slapped the desk twice with the ring ruler on the table, but it was not very heavy. But in this quiet classroom, it is still very noticeable, and the students in the hall stopped the books and pens in their hands and looked up at the gentleman in front of the hall.
It was then that they realized that there was a man next to him they didn't know, but they probably knew in their hearts that he would be their classmate in the future. Of course, in addition to Chen Jun, he has seen Li Bokang and knows who he is. Chen Jun was not surprised at all when he saw Li Bokang, he knew two days ago that he was going to come to the county to study today, but he didn't know when he would arrive.
The gentleman over there said, "This is a new student who entered the school today, so let's get to know Li Bokang." After Mr. finished speaking, he looked at Li Bokang, and Li Bokang continued Mr. 's words and said: "Under Li Bokang, please give me more advice in the future." After that, he said no more.
When the gentleman on the side saw that he had finished speaking, he looked down the hall, then pointed to an empty seat and let him go down. After seeing him in his position, he said, "Okay, this class will come here first, you can rest." With that, he packed up his books and left.
After Mr. Zai left, the atmosphere in the school suddenly came alive, and a student suddenly appeared in front of Li Bokang and chattered: "Hello, my name is Zhou Yi, your name is Li Bokang, right, how old are you this year, I am eighteen this year." Why did you only come to the academy now............" This Zhou Yi really has a lot of words, and he has said a lot of things in a long time.
Looking at the familiar man in front of him, Li Bokang looked at him seriously twice before replying: "Yes, my name is Li Bokang, and I am seventeen years old this year." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi continued: "You are younger than me, you can call me Brother Zhou, and I will call you Brother Li, how about Brother Li?" Although he meant to ask, he had already begun to call.
Li Bokang didn't know what to do with him, he hadn't seen such a familiar person. Chen Jun, who had been watching them for a long time when he was embarrassed, came over and said, "Brother Li, you're here." It can be regarded as relieving him, and he nodded to Chen Jun to express his gratitude.
Over there, Zhou Yi saw Chen Jun coming over to greet Li Bokang, and he was quite familiar and said, "Eh, Chen Jun, you all know each other, how did you know each other." Chen Jun glanced at him and said, "We met before, and we still took the exam together, so we got to know each other." ”
Li Bokang didn't say anything after listening to his words, but nodded at Zhou Yi when he turned his head to look at him. In fact, seriously speaking, he and Chen Jun only met once last time in the backyard of the county magistrate's house, and they haven't seen each other again. He didn't expect him to be in the county school, but he still figured it out.
After resting for a while, the gentleman before came again, and he heard Chen Jun and the others tell him, this gentleman's surname is Wang, and they all call him Mr. Wang, and he is the gentleman who taught them the Four Books and the Five Classics. There is also a Mr. Zhao who teaches them arithmetic, and another Mr. Chen who teaches them to draw and manage the school in peacetime.
In this way, after another class, he got out of school for lunch.,Today he had lunch in the school hall.,They also paid the money before.,Five dollars a month.。 It's not a lot, but it's not too little, and five dollars of silver can be eaten for two months in an average family. But there are still many people who no longer eat in the school, either at home or sent by home, of course, these people live in the county or have better family conditions.
After eating and resting for an hour, he started classes again, and after school in the afternoon, he said goodbye to a few classmates he met today and went back to the county house. He still remembered what she told him in the morning, that she would stay in the county for a few days, and he was a little happy thinking about it.
When he returned home, he smelled the smell of vegetables, the smell of boiled fish that he liked to eat, and he smiled when he smelled it. Then he walked through the door with a smile on his face and said, "I'm back." Hearing his voice, Yang Xue walked out of the kitchen, and then said to him: "Come back, sit in the living room, the dishes will be ready immediately." After that, he went back to the kitchen.
It was really good soon, and the meal was quite rich tonight, boiled fish, back to the pot meat, stir-fried vegetables, and a pork rib soup. During the meal, she asked, "How is it, are you still used to it in the school?" Knowing that she was worried about him, Li Bokang said: "It's pretty good, so far, my classmates are quite easy to get along with." He didn't lie to her, and it was fine. She was relieved to hear him say this, and the night went by.
