On March 2, 1999, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, Lin Xu started school. The official start of school is actually tomorrow on the 16th day of the first lunar month, but because they are a boarding school, they have to rush to school one day early.

After a year, Lin Xu is one year older, fifteen years old this year, and his sister Lin Tong is thirteen. Although a year has passed, there is actually nothing to say. If he was still young before, Lin Xu would have liked the New Year very much. At that time, the living conditions of the family were not very good, and only during the New Year could they eat well, wear new clothes, and have New Year's money to get.

But on their side, after the child is twelve, he will no longer be happy to collect New Year's money. Moreover, the overall living conditions in the village have improved over the years, and they can usually eat well and have new clothes to wear. So these are no longer attractive, plus the older Lin Xu gets, the more withdrawn and quiet he becomes, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to visit relatives and relatives during the New Year, and give gifts to each other.

Therefore, the older he gets, the less he likes the New Year. I just feel that the New Year is busy, and my family is busy before and after the New Year, and basically there are people coming to the door all day long, so it is not as leisurely and quiet as the usual days.

In the half month after the Chinese New Year, Lin Xu basically didn't go out much, and practiced martial arts at home every day. After half a month, his internal, external, and light skills have all grown. Although the essence of the dantian of internal strength has not yet been completely refined, it has been refined by a small half, nearly one-third, and the internal qi has increased a lot. The external skill is to practice the twelve ways of springing legs more familiarly, and the legs can already bring the sound of whirring wind, which is very imposing. Light Gong has been able to reach a leap of nearly three meters, and when jumping from the temple to the roof, it seems more relaxed. Even when I jumped up from the yard, I was a little close.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Xu and his sister, with the help of their mother, packed their schoolbags, food and other things, and then under the send-off of their parents and grandparents, they took their sister on bicycles and set off to school.

My younger sister Lin Tong was also in the first year of junior high school last year, and there were not many spare bicycles at home, so the brother and sister shared one, and the elder brother took the younger sister. And for Lin Tong, it is just easy to save trouble, just sit every time. And her bicycle riding is not proficient, and she often falls down when she encounters a panic situation, and her family is not worried that she rides alone.

On the road together, there was also Guan Wentao, which they had already made an appointment. If nothing happens, it's basically a group every time. After leaving the alley of Lin Xu's house, along the east-west street in the village, they walked east along the road, and after walking three or four miles out of the village, the school of their middle school was located. So every time, Guan Wentao came to call Lin Xu, so that getting out of his alley was the right way, and it was also the way.

Because this is the main road, most of the children in the village who go to middle school also go to school through this road. After leaving the alley of Lin Xu's house, I saw many students carrying large bags and small bags walking on this road along the way. Some of them ride bicycles like them, while others have poorer family conditions or have not yet learned to ride a bicycle on foot. Anyway, their village is not far from the school, and it doesn't take long to walk.

Others, they are close to each other, or the adults in the family say yes, and ride someone else's bicycle. There are also adults in the family who are not busy, or worried about children having accidents on the road, and adults ride bicycles and motorcycles to send them off. There are also relatives and neighbors who get together, and there are many children, so they drive three wheels directly.

However, in general, because their village is close to the school, and the road to the school is also straight, the road is easy to walk and not complicated, so most of the children in the village still go to school on their own. There are very few family members who send each other, and if there are those who are far away from the school, the family members send them more. For further afield, you need to take a bus, which needs to leave early in the morning.

Their middle school is the only middle school in the township, called Wuxiang Middle School. The township is called Wuxiang, which is named after the village where the township government is located. Compared with other surrounding townships, although their township is not particularly large, this middle school is a key middle school in the county, not only very famous in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, but also ranked first in the entire county, with high teaching quality and graduation rate. Therefore, not only their hometown, but also the students in the nearby townships, and even the county seat and even other counties, have come all the way to Wuxiang Middle School to study.

Riding bicycles on the road leading to the middle school in the village, they greeted each other when they met but knew each other. However, Lin Xu still rarely took the initiative to greet people, and only responded when others greeted him. On his side, Guan Wentao took the initiative to greet people, and his sister Lin Tong in the back seat would also take the initiative to greet her classmates.

They rode their bicycles, not very fast, but only in a few minutes, and quickly left the village, because the village was too small. Soon after leaving the village, I walked another 1 or 200 meters, turned a downhill "S" curve, and took a straight road to the school.

The road is five or six meters wide, and unlike most dirt roads in the village, the road is paved with sand and gravel, and it is very smooth, so that even when it rains, it will not be muddy and difficult to walk. After getting on this road, it leads straight to the school, and it is a straight one, and there is no turning point.

On this road, more students go to the school, not only from their village, but also from nearby villages. Everyone carried a lot of things in large bags and small bags, and some of them carried half a bag of wheat in the back seat of the car, which was taken to the school cafeteria to exchange for meal tickets.

Because the school is a boarding school and is semi-closed, you can only go home once a week. Although many students bring food from home, such as steamed buns, pickles, instant noodles, etc., some of them cannot be kept for a long time, so they still have to go to the school cafeteria for the rest of the day. Some students even eat in the cafeteria for the whole week, without bringing food from home.

Lin Xu, Lin Tong, and Guan Wentao still had some of the remaining meal tickets from last year that were not used up, so this time when school started, they didn't exchange wheat for meal tickets, but only brought three or four days of food each. Although it has been almost a month since the beginning of spring, the weather is still very cold, and there is no fear that the food will spoil in three or four days.

Moreover, the meal tickets of the Lin Xu brothers and sisters have never been exchanged by themselves, and every time when they are about to run out, their father or mother brings a bag of wheat to the school cafeteria to exchange them, and then directly gives them the meal tickets.

After getting on the gravel road leading to the school, the three of them met many classmates from other villages on the way, and many people greeted each other.
