The middle school is in the town, the streets are lined with shops, and all kinds of vehicles and bicycles shuttle through the streets and alleys, which is far more lively than the countryside. The school is also far more magnificent than a rural farmhouse-like primary school, with a large iron gate one story high, an empty playground larger than the entire elementary school in the countryside, and some old Soviet-style auditoriums can accommodate one or two thousand people. The most amazing thing is that the new school building has three floors, which is taller and more beautiful than most of the buildings on the street.

All this is novel in Gui Chengliang's eyes, and the small universe is inexplicably full of excitement.

Gui Chengliang also went to the town with Gui Youfu a few times when he was a child, and the deepest impression was that Gui Youfu took Liang to the public toilet at the bus station to collect manure when he planted autumn vegetables, and went to the grain station to hand in the grain after the grain was handed in.

I was very happy to pay the public grain, and three or five people in the village walked together, talking and laughing along the way.

The grain station is located at the big wharf on East Street, and it is very magnificent.

Gui Youfu carried the grain up to the second floor, through a long aisle, and below it was the warehouse where the grain was stored. At the end of the passage is a platform with two windmills and a large scale. After the full grain of the car passes through the scale, it is poured into a long cloth bag pipe, and the deflated grain from the car is packed in a bag and taken home to feed the chickens.

Gui Chengliang was small, naughty, and played with windmills for a while. In the end, it was the staff of the grain station who blasted it away.

After finishing the grain, Gui Youfu, who saves on weekdays, took Chengliang down to the noodle restaurant for the first time. The noodles of 1 mao 2 are much more fragrant than the noodles under their own home, and there is meat foam. Gui Youfu also played 2 taels of scattered wine, and the two fathers and sons were so comfortable!

Forget about the dung grazing, and let Gui Chengliang hold his breath when he talks about it, and wait for the next person.

At that time, there was a charge for collecting excrement in public toilets. Gui Youfu seems to have ordered three tans, and five cents or three cents came, forgetting the specific number.

Early that morning, Gui Youfu and his son picked up a few mouthfuls of last night's leftovers, and set off in a hurry.

When I got to the station gate, it was exactly eight o'clock. At that time, the guards at the station gate happened to change shifts. Gui Youfu hurriedly handed over a 909 cigarette that he was reluctant to smoke on weekdays, and asked: "Leader, I told Stationmaster Wang a few days ago, go to your station to buy a few loads of dung and go home to plant vegetables, please trouble you!"

He squinted his eyes and took the cigarette and lit it, and after taking a big puff, he slowly spit out a string of smoke rings, and said, "Brother, you have found the right person." Don't look at the people coming and going in the station, but now there are many vegetables growing in the solar terms, and there are people every day in recent days. The women's toilet is low, and the big feces at the bottom are thick, unlike the men's toilet, which is full of urine and some gutter water that seeps in. That big dung is still bubbling up to the tea in your township, and it's a waste of your one or two cents to dig out that dung! ”

Gui Youfu listened to it, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for the leader......

"Hey, the leader, just guard the door. But then again, the station is like throwing away some miscellaneous things, asking some people to repair them, and so on. It's just that the station needs to plant some trees, add some equipment, and engage in some construction, and I can talk in front of the stationmaster, but you are a small matter! ”

"Yes, yes! As the old saying goes, there are people in the yamen who carry water, not to mention people like you who have a good relationship with the stationmaster. ”

In this way, the two chatted all the way to the back of the public toilet.

Gui Youfu first lifted the cover of the manure tank in the women's toilet, stretched out the manure spoon and stirred it, scooped a spoonful and looked at it, it was a little thin, not as good as the manure in his own manure pit. Gui Youfu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and lifted the lid of the manure tank in the men's toilet and scooped a spoonful.

"Oh, you still can't trust me, when I coax you to ......," the gatekeeper shouted a little unhappily.

"Risk, risk, I'm just looking at how rare it is. This thing is really strong in our rural rice tea, and it is comparable to Qingshui tea......" Gui Youfu hurriedly smiled.

This worked, and the man was immediately much happier, threw Gui Youfujing's cigarette butt, and said, "That's it, on weekdays, I will dig wherever I want." Here, I see that your brother understands the reason, so he is kind enough to help you! ”

Just as Gui Youfu opened the women's toilet again to scoop the dung, a woman happened to come to the toilet.

The sound of Gui Youfu scooping dung alarmed the woman, who had just pulled a piece of. Annoyed, he screamed loudly: "You Tao blind, more than 20 hours a day, you don't know how to arrange the time." As soon as you get to work, you arrange for someone to scoop the feces! The one who spoons the feces is too, and he deserves to deal with feces and urine for the rest of his life......"

Later, in the reluctant apology of the man guarding the gate, the woman finally stopped. After the woman finished pulling, Gui Youfu continued to scoop the dung.

On the way back, Gui Chengliang was sullen and didn't say a word. At noon and afternoon, Gui Youfu came alone, although Gui Youfu promised Cheng Liang to accompany him to buy red pepper candy for him, which did not impress him.

The woman's last sentence, which deserves to deal with feces and urine for the rest of her life, deeply stung Gui Chengliang, who knew something. Since then, he has secretly determined that he must get ahead.

When paying the tuition, Gui Youfu respectfully handed it to the teacher with his calloused hands. When the teacher counted the money, Gui Youfu's hand was shaking slightly.

Not easy, three school bags.

Chengcai is the second year of high school, Yuxiu is the third year of junior high school, and the tuition fee for the first phase is several hundred yuan. In those years, a few dollars were dug out of the ground, and most of the pigs raised throughout the year were turned into cash, and some brains were left to taste the four-legged pork belly.

After completing the formalities, Gui Youfu went home.

Before leaving, Gui Youfu explained, read it carefully, you read it, and your father will send it there! Don't think about it when you reread old books, there is so much money in the house for you to play!

After walking a few steps, Gui Youfu turned back again. After fumbling up and down for a while, he finally took out a five-cent crumpled money in his jacket pocket and said, "I still have pickles for two days, and you can go to the canteen to buy some vegetables and change your meal for five cents." On Wednesday, your mom came to deliver the food, and you came back to get it yourself. ”

After seeing off his father, Gui Chengliang returned to the classroom.

The head teacher is preparing to arrange the dormitory.

The head teacher's surname is Wang, and he is very kind and kind. She knew how inconvenient it was for children in the countryside to leave home for the first time, so she took the boarding students to the dormitory.

The dormitory was a bunk on the floor, and thirty or forty people were divided into two rows against the wall. The bunks are one by one, and the boxes are placed at the feet. The box contains a change of clothes, rice dishes, etc.

Teacher Wang was afraid that the students would not be able to do it, so she took them to visit the excellent dormitory for senior girls. From how to lay the quilt, fold the quilt, to how to place shoes, toiletries, hang small objects, etc. In the end, she was still not at ease, so she went back to the dormitory and demonstrated it herself, and then asked her classmates to practice it twice before she was relieved.

There were no new classes that day, but they talked about school discipline, class discipline, canteen system, dormitory system, and so on.

At around ten o'clock, Gui Chengliang and the others divided a rectangular lunch box in groups of eight. They used a plastic cup to scoop a cup of rice into each lunch box, and several people went to the Hunshui River with the senior students to wash rice and cook rice. There are faucets in the school, but there are nearly 1,000 people in the three junior high school grades plus the college entrance examination cram school, and they are too busy. Besides, the students in the college entrance examination cram school are tall and have already occupied a few leaders, so most of the time they have to go to the river to dig for rice.

The river is very close, and it is more than ten meters down the steps after crossing the road after leaving the school gate.

At that time, the water river was clear and bottomed out, and it was not the same as it is now.

In the shallow water, you can see a lot of rice that fell into the river during rice washing, and the white and crystal clear in the sunlight shines.

This kind of rice washing did not last long, and it was reformed the following year.

First, the river water began to be polluted and unhygienic. Second, when students were washing rice, crossing the road affected traffic, and the leaders of the town government all asked.

Later, the school added a co-worker and added ten taps. The rice is handed over to the canteen, and it can also be discounted. This reform saves students' time for learning and facilitates the unified management of the school.

That night, Gui Chengliang and his classmates of the same age were very excited, chattering for a long time, and they all lost the loneliness of living and studying alone away from home for the first time.

After the bedtime bell rang, Cheng Liang and the others were still talking next to each other on the left and right.

When the teacher on duty was on patrol, he heard it, pushed open the door and trained him fiercely for several minutes before he quieted down.
