Li Zhongxin's alma mater is called Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School, which is located in the northwest corner of Jiangcheng, diagonally opposite the Jiangcheng Coal Mining Machinery Factory.

Since the primary school is a bungalow, all the students in the vicinity of the family have to take turns to bring firewood to the school early in the morning to start the fire, and the children in the teacher's family are no exception.

Students from far away families could not get up early to start a fire at school, so they had to do more work, which was also a rule handed down at that time.

Li Zhongxin carried a somewhat shabby and yellowed green army on his shoulder, carrying a small bag of firewood, and walked slowly and leisurely from home, reading the memories of the later life while lamenting the uncertainty of life.

At the end of March, the cool morning breeze blew on his hands and face exposed outside the second cotton jacket, which made Li Zhongxin feel extremely comfortable, and his small chest unconsciously straightened up.

Li Zhongxin saw that the road was still the familiar road, and the houses on both sides were still the old houses in his memory, but when he looked up, he couldn't see the traffic of the later generations and the high-rise buildings.

The sky is blue and blue, as if he has walked to the edge of the sea all of a sudden, and the birds that occasionally pass by him above his head make him feel that everything is so beautiful after being reborn.

After passing through a few small alleys, Li Zhongxin arrived at school before seven o'clock.

At this time, several chimneys on the roof of the school were already rising with curling smoke.

After greeting Grandpa Zhang, who was on the guard in the gatehouse, Li Zhongxin went straight to the classroom of the third class.

Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School is not big, and in addition to the corner water room, there are a total of 12 classrooms, a large teacher's office, and a brigade counseling department.

The Counseling Department of the Brigade is the place where the school's Young Pioneers counselors, school doctors, and cashiers and accountants work together, and when Li Zhongxin was reborn yesterday, he was carried there by the school doctor Pei Hua under the command of the senior students.

Taking off the public key from his neck to unlock the door of the class, Li Zhongxin stood on tiptoe slightly and quickly opened a small lock hanging on the door.

As soon as the small door lock was removed, the key was put on his neck, Li Zhongxin pushed the door open, and locked the small door lock directly on the doorknob in the classroom.

After the schoolbag was placed in the third and fourth rows, Li Zhongxin skillfully took off the small bag he was carrying, took out the split wood inside, put two pieces in the stove, and put it into two piles according to the size.

Li Zhongxin took out a box of matches and a stick in the lower pocket of the second cotton coat, which was yellowish-red in color, and the texture was very obvious "Mingzi". (The most flammable part of the pine, because Mingzi is not rotten, not afraid of moisture, contains a lot of oil, and is easy to ignite, Mingzi is used in winter by families with conditions in the northeast)

Li Zhongxin's father, Li Shangyong, is an employee of the first factory in Jiangcheng, and there is no shortage of wood for burning the fire every winter, and naturally there will be no shortage of red pine wood waste like Mingzi.

There are not many students in the class who use Mingzi to start the fire, after all, most families do not have the convenience of Li Zhongxin's family, and many students use waste paper, linoleum paper, or some combustibles, and even pick up cow dung to light the stove.

A match was gently brushed, and a small flame ignited.

After Li Zhongxin lit Mingzi, he placed it on the wood that had been placed in the furnace at an angle of forty or fifty degrees, and then began to layer upon layer of small pieces of wood on the burning Mingzi.

When the fire is gradually burning, another large pile of wood is placed on top of it, and the stove is completely burned.

Grandpa Zhang is responsible for the coal in the classroom, and when the class is open, Grandpa Zhang carries a bucket of coal and pours the coal in the classroom into the coal trough of the class.

At that time, coal was supplied, and schools were no exception, but the quota for school coal was slightly higher, and in the winter there was a warm room for students to avoid the cold.

After Li Zhongxin lit the fire, he went to the water room to fetch a basin of water, stirred the coal that Grandpa Zhang had brought to the class, and then added the coal to the stove.

Glancing at the small red flower column hanging on the back wall of the classroom, Li Zhongxin sighed, walked to the corner at the front of the classroom, and picked up a broom to clean up the classroom.

In the 80s, students took turns on duty, and once a week there was a competition, and whichever group did well on duty would get an extra little red flower.

Three of the people in Li Zhongxin's group live in the sand and gravel factory and Zhubantun, which are far away from the school, and they will be late for the start of class at 8 o'clock, and they will be late to leave home after 6 o'clock to catch up with the bad weather.

At about half past seven, Li Zhongxin was a little excited to see that the smaller version of his elementary school classmates had arrived at the class one after another.

This miniature version of Yu Lei is so cute, it looks so cute!

Why is this small Peng Wei so thin, but in later life, he is a big fat man of more than 200 pounds......

In my memory, the students were in a group of four, three in a group, two together, and they did everything, and the whole class was as lively as a vegetable market.

After the bell rang, Ma Yan, the class leader, began to check the wearing of the red scarf, rectify the discipline of the students in the class, and collect the homework that the students put on the table.

At this time, the class cadres of the elementary school were very capable, and they did all the work themselves, and after collecting the homework, they all carried the homework book to the classroom office.

After the homework was collected, the health committee began to check the fingernails of the students, whether the nails were cut at home, and whether the inside of the nails was clean.

Li Zhongxin recalled that in this era, not only nails were checked, but also lice were checked, and if lice were found in a student's hair, the whole class would stay away from that student for at least half a month, and there was no comparison with the personal hygiene of primary school students in later generations.

Just when Li Zhongxin's thoughts didn't know where to drift, Zhu Hongyuan, a member of the Song Commission, stood on the podium and waved his white little hands to sing the first lyrics to be sung, "Let's swing the sculls...... Ready to sing ......"

The first song Li Zhongxin sang after his rebirth was "Let's Swing the Sculls" with his classmates.

Although the singing voice is uneven, it has the spirit of that era, as if after singing a song, the mental outlook of the whole class has changed dramatically.

The songs sung before class in the morning are generally two, and the two songs are sung until the class bell rings, and as long as the class bell rings, the teacher will enter the class on time.

Li Zhongxin knew everything he talked about in class, and he didn't have the heart to listen, and after class, his classmates asked him to go out to play, but he also refused with the excuse that his foot was twisted.

As a middle-aged man who was reborn, he felt that he had to study something and return to the 80s, his existence represented countless possibilities and countless variables, just like functions, and could even become a trendsetter in this era.

He was reborn as a primary school student, and the conditions at home can only be said to be average, and the pocket money he can get from the right path is at most eight cents, and he can't do anything at all.

At this time, there is no lottery ticket, no stocks, and you can't get the first pot of gold that is not honorable.

What can be done at this time and how to obtain the start-up capital to do things is the focus of Li Zhongxin's thinking.

After some careful consideration, Li Zhongxin finally made a decision, and the start-up capital was obtained from the submission.

Li Zhongxin remembers very well that at the end of the 70s, there was a child prodigy named Ning Bai, who was allowed to enter a university at the age of 13, and was the first child in China to be recognized as a gift.

The child, who had not gone to kindergarten, showed some talent very early: at the age of two and a half, he could recite more than 30 poems of Chairman Mao, and at the age of three, he could count 100 numbers.

It was the Cultural Revolution years, and Ning Bai had no school to go to, so he stayed at home and was bored reading adults' books. It is rumored that after reading more than a dozen books on traditional Chinese medicine, he was able to prescribe medicine to the people around him, and after reading Go books, it didn't take long for him to be able to play against adults, and even win many Go enthusiasts around him.

Li Zhong confidently understood that the genius children of that era were placed two thousand years after the next generation, which was a sparse and ordinary thing, and the children had learned quite a lot when they were a few years old.

The most important thing is that Ning Bai was not as high as people expected, but felt that he had lost a lot of things by entering college too early, and even became a monk, if it were not for this, Li Zhongxin would have thought that Ning Bai was reborn in the late sixties like him.

This Ning Bai has a great influence on Chinese education, but for Li Zhongxin, this Ning Bai is simply his lucky star.

Li Zhongxin felt that no matter what he did, he could use the word genius as a shield, and China's greeting of Ganluo at the age of twelve in ancient times to the appearance of Ning Bai, a genius child, is enough to show that there are many prodigies in this world.

Li Zhongxin did not become a great writer in his previous life, but it did not prevent him from writing in his spare time, and he can be regarded as a well-known writer in the starting point novel network.

He felt that if he wanted to get a convincing income from his labor in the 80s, the manuscript fee was the fastest and most convenient.

Reform and opening up have just begun, and people have just struggled to come out of the cultural famine.

People have just experienced the Cultural Revolution, they are extremely empty spiritually, they need to be filled with culture, their thirst for literature is unprecedented, young people are proud of their love of literature, and their parents and elders hope that young people can spend their time reading.

The college entrance examination was not long after the resumption of the college entrance examination, coupled with the birth of the five major universities (the University of Electrical Engineering, the University of Technology, the Night University, the University of Industry, and the University of Letters), so the strongest slogan at this time is - knowledge changes fate, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and are not afraid to go all over the world.

When I wake up in the morning, I have a book to read everywhere, no matter what the book is, in short, most young people spend their energy on studying.

Li Zhongxin is very interested in publishing some mature small works in China, after all, he used to be in his forties, and he had a fairly good cultural background a long time ago, and the literary level of later generations was unimaginable in the eighties, so there was no problem for him to write some good things.

However, Li Zhongxin did not have the idea of publishing too many articles in China, and when he was free, he simply submitted a few times to "Story Club", or submitted to "Chinese Youth" as long as he simply had a certain income.

At this time, Li Zhongxin not only obtained a fund for the development of his own ideas, but also laid the groundwork for his future creation.

In fact, the place where Li Zhongxin wanted to submit his articles most was the influential "October" and "Sprout" magazines in China, which were the literary leaders in the Chinese literary circle, and there were almost no cultural people who were now nearly 50 years old who did not know about these two magazines.

"October" means that the "Gang of Four" was smashed in October 1976, and people bid farewell to the nightmare of ten years and began the pursuit and dream of a new life. The works published in October and received good reviews not only record the depth of thought of an era, but also the precision of the art of an era.

Li Zhongxin still remembers that Mr. Ba Jin said in his congratulatory speech in the inaugural issue of "Sprout": "Any beautiful flower, any towering tree grows from sprouts, and any sprout will unfold its thriving future as long as it is nourished by sunshine and rain and dew." ”

Although these two magazines are Li Zhongxin's most desirable contributions, and they are also the most able to get a large amount of remuneration, Li Zhongxin has given up this idea, and a primary school student, no matter how good he is, no matter how he does it, will not write that kind of profound article.

If you want to submit to these two magazines, you have to wait at least until he reaches junior high school, otherwise he really can't explain it.

Li Zhongxin silently thought about when he could get rid of his identity as a primary school student, and when he could really do what he wanted to do!
