On the morning of September 1, 1984, many students came to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Cultural Tutorial School, and the toll office was crowded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I only had 20 yuan on me, which was not enough to pay the tuition, so I could only stand by and watch the excitement.

"Big radish, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you sign up? If it's late, there will be no books. Long Fei walked over and said with concern.

Long Fei and I were classmates from junior high school to high school, and we were fellow villagers, and we were classmates for six years, and we were iron buddies.

"Long Fei, I, my money is not enough to pay the tuition." I said shyly.

"Hey, you, you got a good score of 420 points in the college entrance examination, and you don't have to pay tuition. You go over there and take a look, there's a notice there, it's clearly written. Long Fei said.

"Really? Don't you lie to me? "I couldn't believe it.

"We're buddies, why are we lying to you?" Long Fei's words were earnest.

I ran over like a gust of wind, and sure enough, there was a notice, stamped with the school's big seal, and signed the principal's name. I was ecstatic after reading the announcement, and happily went to the Academic Affairs Office to sign up. There are three teachers sitting in the academic affairs office, two of whom are about 70 years old and one is about 50 years old.

"What's your name?" The middle-aged teacher asked.

"Big turnip." I glanced at him and saw that he was very serious, nervous, and casually said a nickname.

"Big turnips? Hey! Good fresh name. I ask you, what is your real name? The middle-aged teacher looked at me with a torch in his eyes and asked.

"Was—ever—happy." My heart was pounding, and I said word by word.

"Good! Contentment and happiness, that's a good name. The old teacher with reading glasses sitting next to him said happily.

He spoke very kindly and humorously, I couldn't help but take a second look, only to see him, less than 1.5 meters tall, weighing only 70 pounds, with a thin face and kind eyebrows.

"Zeng Changle, have you taken the college entrance examination this year?" The kind-eyed old teacher asked.

"I participated, this is the transcript of the college entrance examination, please look at the teacher." I took out my report card and handed it to the kind old teacher.

"Not bad! There is potential. You study liberal arts, and the average score of the four subjects of Chinese, history, geography, and politics is 90 points, but your English and mathematics are too poor, with 17 points in English and only more than 40 points in mathematics. The old teacher said kindly.

"I'll try my best to catch up." My heart is much more open.

"Chang Le, let me introduce you, my surname is Chen, my name is Xingguo, I am the principal of the school, and I am your homeroom teacher. This is Mr. Ou, the Chinese teacher of the liberal arts class. The old teacher pointed to the middle-aged teacher and said.

"Hello Mr. Ou." I hurriedly greeted him.

When Mr. Ou saw that my grades were so good, he immediately looked at me with admiration, and he said with a smile: "Chang Le, I am optimistic about you, let's work together to get better results in the exam next year." ”

I smiled and nodded.

"This is Principal Zhang, who is a math teacher in the liberal arts class. Principal Zhang is a famous mathematics teacher, once in the first middle school, the second middle school taught high school graduation class, I and Mr. Zhang are members of the county CPPCC, after retirement, discussed to set up this cultural cram school, so called the CPPCC cultural cram school, our purpose is to cultivate the pillars of the country. Chang Le, you are the best among these students, and I hope you will live up to our high expectations. Principal Chen said.

"Don't worry, principal, I will study hard and learn from each other's strengths." I swear by it.

"What is the use of verbal assurances, we must prove them with practical actions. Math is the most important subject and must be caught up. Principal Zhang said with a serious face.

I found that Principal Zhang was a cold person, and he didn't dare to face it, but just glanced at it secretly.

"Big radish, you haven't gone through the formalities yet! Hurry up and go to the logistics office to do a boarding, and if it's late, you can only sleep on the floor. Principal Chen said humorously.

"Headmaster, I, my money, not enough." I slurred.

"Oh—why don't you bring enough money?" Principal Chen was stunned.

"I don't have a father, my mother is sick, and I have a younger sister at home, who is only eleven or twelve years old. Our family is really difficult, so we ...... "I'm."

Principal Chen seemed to understand, and he said with concern: "Don't have ideological baggage, pay a month's food fee first, and talk about the rest later." As for your tuition and fees, you will be exempted from all of them if you have a special situation. ”

After listening to Principal Chen's words, the stone in my heart fell to the ground, I got the books, went to the logistics office to go through the boarding procedures, and then went to the classroom with Long Fei.

There were fifty or sixty students in the classroom, and I was the last one to sit on it, with only a rotten table and a three-legged stool. I recklessly sat on the stool, because my body was too heavy, the stool leg was broken, and I fell heavily on the ground, making a mess, and many of my classmates laughed.

The classroom was in a mess, and Principal Chen walked in with a serious expression, came to the podium, slapped the podium with a teaching stick, and then turned around and wrote two big words on the blackboard: Quiet. When the students saw the word 'quiet' on the blackboard, they fell silent.

"Students, hello everyone, my name is Chen Xingguo, I am your homeroom teacher, from today onwards, each of us is a part of the first class of liberal arts, I hope we will work together to strive for the first place in the county in the college entrance examination next year, do you have confidence?" Principal Chen asked.

"Yes!" Everyone spoke in unison and answered crisply.

"Good! Now I'll start the roll call, and whoever I call will stand up and say yes. Principal Chen then began to roll call.

"Yu Xiaoyong."

"Here!"

"Zeng Xuhua"

"Here!"

"Lucy Yang"

“……”

"Lucy Yang"

A slender girl stood up and said, "Principal, my name is not Yang Yuling, my name is Ling'er, you are wrong." ”

The whole class was surprised when they heard this, and some of them secretly laughed.

Principal Chen didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, he said solemnly: "Yang Yuling, don't be clever, Ling'er is just your alias." ”

Ling'er sat down and said, "My parents have called me Ling'er since I was a child, and I'm used to it." ”

"Long Fei" Principal Chen ignored it and continued to name him.

"Here!"

"Big Radish"

"Here!" I stood up and replied aloud.

"Hahaha-" The audience burst into laughter.

"Be serious!" Principal Chen shouted.

"Principal, his name is not Big Radish, his name is Zeng Changle." Long Fei reminded.

"I know, doesn't that mean contentment? I think the name big radish sounds better. Principal Chen said.

Ling'er's beautiful eyes glanced at me, and I grimaced and smiled faintly.

Ling'er smiled, pursed her lips, and lay her head on the table.

"Next, I announce the list of class cadres to be appointed. squad leader, Yu Xiaoyong; Disciplinary Commissioner, Long Fei; Study Commissioner, Big Radish; Labor Commissioner, Wang Gang; Sports Commissioner, Luo Ning; Health Commissioner, Zeng Xuhua; Next, I would like to invite a few class cadres to my room for a small meeting. ”

"Principal Chen, I'm resigning." Long Fei stood up and asked.

"No one is allowed to resign." Principal Chen said categorically, and walked out of the classroom.
