The villagers are busy picking corn seedlings and fertilizing the corn seedlings, the children are starting school, and the seven-year-old children are going to school, of course, including the "evil old eagle" Gao Gao, Ru Ru, Liang Liang, and the three saints.

Before, whenever Gao Qiqi, a student in the village, came back from school happily with a schoolbag, the "evil old eagle" had an indescribable curiosity and envy, he wanted to go to school very much, and when he was four or five years old, he wanted to carry the schoolbag with them, and strode to school with great energy.

He once went to the school secretly with Ru Ru to see, although the school did not even have a gate, it was an old tiled house, but it was very neat, and there was a cement blackboard on the wall, on which were written; There are very rules in the school, the students are sitting in neat rows in the classroom, reading loudly, doing homework quietly, and swarming to the toilet to pee, and the boys they found were standing on the edge of the pool in the toilet, that is, standing for a long time before they tocked three or two drops, lifted their pants and ran into the classroom, as if this class must have urine and urine, and urine without urine, so that they could not understand, he was simply stunned.

Back home, the "evil old eagle" and his mother entangled to go to school, when he was young, he was not allowed to go to school at all, Chun Tao could not resist his trouble, later, found the old clothes that could not be worn, and sewed a schoolbag for him with his hand, first let him be magical, and live the addiction of school. The "evil old eagle" carried a schoolbag but there were no books, and the "evil old eagle" was not at peace again, so Liu Ju found out a tattered old yellow calendar and stuffed it into the schoolbag, but it was quiet for a few days.

Later, he was still unwilling, and under the patient persuasion of Chun Tao, the "evil old eagle" also obeyed his words and deeds, looking forward to growing up quickly. Now, when I started going to school, the "evil old eagle" was excited and didn't sleep well all night, and asked my mother repeatedly at night:

"It's not dawn yet?"

"Morning, go to bed," Chun Tao covered him with a blanket. "The chicken hasn't crowed yet, this baby, it's impatient to do anything."

The next morning, Gao Gao and Ru Ru, carrying schoolbags, holding stools, and Hanhan Liangliang and grinning, all came, and asked the "evil old eagle" to go to school together.

At this time, Hongbin was holding the three saints who were pouting their buttocks and refused to move forward with one hand, and a schoolbag and stool in the other, and walked here with difficulty. Parents have explained to Hongbin and reported to the school on behalf of the parents.

Gao Gao and Ru Ru looked at the "evil old eagle" and smiled knowingly, and they ran happily towards the school together holding hands. These children began their first steps in life in early August 1978.

The principal greeted the parents warmly at the school gate, they all knew each other, because the principal was also a local, surnamed Lu, called Tomita, and they all called him Principal Lu, who was mild-mannered, in his fifties, hunchbacked, and not tall.

When Principal Lu saw the three saints pulling the three saints who were sneering and reluctant to go to school like a donkey, he walked over and took the three saints' hands to grasp it hard, and smiled and asked Hongbin to go to the teaching office to report the statistics to the children. Then, Principal Lu Futian's face suddenly became fierce, looking very terrifying, he lifted the three saints and pushed them to the ground fiercely, and then pulled them again, and shouted loudly:

"Stand up-" The three saints immediately became honest, and the "evil old eagle" and Gao covered their mouths and sneered, and Ru Ru looked at this scene timidly.

"Go into the classroom. If you're not honest, I'll beat you up. Principal Lu Futian tilted his head and said cruel words, threatening: "Be honest with me in the future." ”

The three saints were like an old sheep, obediently entering the classroom.

"Liu Maomao, this baby can't be accepted by this student, and he is nicknamed "Evil Old Eagle" in the village. It is the baby of Liu Ju's family in Dahuaishu Village. I don't know when, Xiu'e also appeared in the office of the teaching director Sang Shefa, gesturing, her face was very serious, and she said to Director Sang Shefa in a colorful voice: "What do you see and steal, you are a heinous little ruffian." ”

"The matter you reported is very important, we have to carefully study whether to take it in, and I will give you an answer." Director Sang Shefa's two eyes stared at Xiu'e tightly and said, "Don't worry, the school won't want such a student." ”

"I just can't ask for it, it's all in the same village, I know this baby too well." Xiu'e looked up at Director Sang Shefa staring at herself tightly, and lowered her head very uncomfortably, then straightened her hair with her hands, stood up in a panic and shyly, and hurriedly walked out of the office. ”

The "Evil Old Eagle", Gao Gao, and Ru Ru quickly integrated into the school environment, and each of them handed out a new book. Mao Mao picked up the book and sniffed it deeply under his nose, a faint fragrance of books entered his heart, he was very happy that he had his own book.

Gao Gao carefully turned the pages of the book, did not know any of the words, looking at these hooks and crooks of the words with chickens, geese, doctors to treat children, birds' nests, fish, etc., Gao Gao knew that these hook and crook symbols are the meaning of the drawing, but he looked at each word carefully, stretched out his fingers to draw a stroke of a silent simulation, and soon remembered in his heart, but he did not know that these were pinyin letters, but he had been clearly imprinted in his mind.

Ru Ru carefully flipped through the textbook, and he, like Gao Gao, quickly began to read and write.

"Stand up-" "Evil Old Eagle" saw everyone standing up, hesitated, and hurriedly stood up, "Hello teacher-" "Evil Old Eagle" regrettably failed to shout "Hello teacher-" together, and felt very uncomfortable. Because he was only concerned with memorizing, but he glanced at the three saints and Liangliang beside him and didn't stand up at all, and when he stood up, the other classmates sat down.

"Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Zhao, which is the Zhao of Zhao Qiansun Li, the Zhao of Zhao Kuangyin, called the Society, the Society that closely follows the road of socialism."

Teacher Zhao looked at the students, and without looking at it, he could easily take out a piece of chalk from the chalk bag and said:

"Students should remember that they are not allowed to talk nonsense in class, and please raise your hand if you need to speak."

He turned around and wrote a big Zhao character on the blackboard. The "evil old eagle" was itching in his heart, and he wanted to raise his hand at the right time to show it, and then say something very important.

I heard the teacher say again: "Now let Teacher Sang's daughter Sang Panpan recite the addition method for everyone, and everyone should learn from her to see how people learn at home before they go to school." ”

A neatly dressed and beautiful little girl, standing up with great vigor and big eyes, she looked at everyone proudly. Recite it aloud and in a loud voice:

"One plus one equals two, two plus two equals four, four plus four equals eight, and eight plus eight equals sixteen...... Ninety-nine plus ninety-nine equals one hundred and ninety-eight. Sang Panpan finished reciting it in one go, and his face was filled with that sense of pride and satisfaction.

"Evil Old Eagle" saw Gao Gao's brother at home, Gao Qiqi memorized such a math problem, he instantly made up his mind to find out the topic and raised his hand, and before the teacher could speak, "Evil Old Eagle" raised his little arm vigorously.

"This classmate, you stand up and say." Teacher Zhao Xiangshe pointed at Maomao. "Teacher—will she add one plus one? One plus three? One plus four? Teacher Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked at Sang Panpan nodded, and motioned to Sang Panpan to recite additions such as one plus one and one plus three, Sang Panpan's little face was red in an instant, and tears poured into his eyes, like a deflated ball, crooked his neck and coaxed there.

"What's your name? What's your parent's name? You stand up and carry your back. Teacher Zhao pointed to the "evil old eagle" again.

"His father's name is Liu Ju, and his name is the evil old eagle—" shouted loudly. The classroom burst into laughter instantly, but Teacher Zhao Heshe nodded, still staring at the "evil old eagle", showing a contemptuous look. The "evil old eagle" suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have gotten into trouble. His face was red to the root of his ears, his nervous forehead was oozing with sweat, and when he remembered Gao Qiqi's recitation, his mood was much calmer.

"One plus one equals two, one plus three equals four......" Teacher Zhao waved his hand casually, making the "evil old eagle" stop and ask:

"What about seventy-seven plus sixty-four?"

"It's equal to one hundred and forty-one." The "Evil Old Eagle" looked at Teacher Zhao's face suspiciously.

Teacher Zhao Xiangshe first frowned, then couldn't hide his horror, and then stared at the "evil old eagle", he couldn't believe that in this era, this thin boy in shabby clothes in a poor and backward mountain village was suddenly dumbfounded.

Then he lowered his head, swung his hand downward, and motioned for the "Evil Old Eagle" and Sang Panpan to sit down. Look at Sang Panpan again, pretending to be casual.

"What's your name?" Teacher Zhao pointed to the "evil old eagle" and said.

"My name is Liu Maomao, and everyone in the village calls me 'Evil Old Eagle'."

"In the future, he will be called Liu Maomao, and he must no longer be called 'Evil Old Eagle', and no one is allowed to call him by a nickname." Teacher Zhao Xiangshe lowered his head very sternly and opened the book.

"Students—please turn the first page of the book." Teacher Zhao Heshe bent down slightly and pressed the podium, raised his head to look around the class, and began the first lesson.

"On the left side of this first page is our great leader......" Teacher Zhao Xiangshe stood up again and touched the half of the chalk, and wrote on the blackboard, "Great leader;

"On the right is our Hua leader. The meaning of this picture is: I don't worry about you doing things-" Zhao Heshe said casually.

"The students turned to the second page, and we focused on the pinyin alphabet. Pinyin alphabet is the foundation for us to learn Chinese characters......"

The director of the teaching office, Sang Shefa, came with a notebook, stood outside the classroom door and called: "Liu Maomao's book money has not been paid, remember to bring it in the afternoon and pay it to the teaching office." ”

Maomao's heart was shocked, what should I do if my family has no money? His face flushed to the base of his ears, and he was about to answer, pretending to be indifferent.

Director Sang Shefa turned his head and left, and Mao Mao felt uneasy.

Do you have to pay for books to go to school?
