This summer, Lin Su learned one thing - to suppress one kind of power, to use another kind of power.

Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen were afraid of offending Xu Jiafu, so they didn't dare to dismiss Xie Chengkang's kindness, Lin Su knew that they were reluctant in their hearts, but the reality made them dare not object.

The matter of going to school in the city was finalized, but before school started, Lin Su didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that something would happen.

Throughout the summer vacation, she was extremely obedient, at home Lin Yongtian Sun Yufen asked her to do whatever she did, even if Sun Yufen didn't give money during the day, she would still follow to help pick tea.

Dawn is coming, so the darkness in front of you is bearable.

Xie Chengkang's funding for Lin Su's school was handled by Zhou Zhaohua as an intermediary, Lin Su went to apply for an ID card during the summer vacation, and before the start of school, Zhou Zhaohua led her to apply for a bank card, and he sent the card number to Xie Chengkang's assistant and told Lin Su that Xie Chengkang would let people send money to the card.

Lin Su took the bank card and felt slightly hot.

In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation was over, and Lin Su had packed his things a long time ago and was ready to go to school at any time. She didn't have many things, just a few faded clothes, and a bed of sheets and quilts that she had slept on for years, which she washed and folded, and put in a snakeskin bag.

Sun Yufen is right, there is nothing in this family that belongs to hers, and a snakeskin bag containing dissatisfaction is everything.

On the day of registration, Lin Su went down the mountain before dawn, and she walked this mountain road for three years, but this time, her steps were brisker than before.

At the foot of the mountain, the master of Youmo saw that Lin Su was carrying a snakeskin bag, so he came up to her and asked, "Little girl, are you going to the bus station?" By car. ”

She waved her hand and walked away.

Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen didn't pay for the journey, but she had two or three hundred yuan in cash, which was secretly given to her by her uncle and aunt in the village when she knew that she was going to study in the city, and she was reluctant to spend it.

Before going to the bus station, Lin Su went to the bank in the town first, she took out the card she had done not long ago, and checked the balance in the card on the self-service machine, and she was at a loss for a moment when she saw the number "0".

Zhou Zhaohua said that Xie Chengkang would ask people to send money to the card, but today is the registration day, and there is still not a penny in the card.

Without the entry fee, everything is in vain, but now that she has come here, she will not look back.

Lin Su didn't hesitate, she put away her bank card, settled down, put on the snakeskin bag again, and walked to the bus station step by step.

By the time we arrived at the bus station, the sun had already left the summit for some distance, and the temperature was starting to climb.

Lin Su grew up on the tea ridge since he was a child, and the farthest place he has been to is Nanchuan County, and that time the school teacher took the whole class to visit the county museum. Lin Yongtian and Sun Yufen took Lin Youwei to the city a few times, but they never took her there, she had no experience, and she didn't know how to take a car to the city.

Zhou Zhaohua said before that he would send her to school, but the opening time of Nanshan Middle School and the registration time of No. 1 Middle School collided, and she didn't want to trouble people, so she planned to take a ride to school by herself.

She went to the ticket window and said to the ticket seller, "I want a ticket to Linyun City." ”

The ticket clerk spoke a non-standard Mandarin and replied: "There is no direct shuttle bus from Nanshan Town to Linyun City, and I have to go to the county seat." ”

Lin Su thought for a while, and said, "Then give me a ticket to the county seat at the earliest." ”

The ticket clerk pressed the keyboard, took the time to look at Lin Su, and asked, "You are a little girl, take a car to the city by yourself and work?" ”

Lin Su shook his head, "I'm going to study." ”

The ticket seller was a little surprised, looking at Lin Su's eyes were different, she first smiled, said "Yo, I'm still a person who can read", and then asked: "Why do you go to study alone, what about your parents, don't send you?" ”

"I don't need them to send it." Lin Su said decisively.

The ticket seller tore off a ticket from the printer, and when he handed it out of the window, out of concern for his fellow villagers, he asked again: "You haven't been to Linyun City, are you alone?" ”

Lin Su took the ticket, his eyes were resolute when he raised his eyes, and he said sonorously: "I can." ”

After buying a ticket, Lin Su sat in the waiting hall for a while, and when he arrived at the departure point, he got on the bus in a group of villagers who went to the county early to do business.

The country bus was in tatters, and the leather covers of the chairs were scratched, revealing the dirty sponge inside. Although it was an early train, the car was still full of people, there were chickens, ducks and geese in the aisle, and the smell of various livestock excrement was mixed together, and the smell in the carriage was very bad.

No matter how dirty and smelly it is, Lin Su has stayed in it, so he doesn't feel unbearable. When the bus started, she looked through the window at the continuous green hills in the distance, and her eyes showed no nostalgia.

Many people say that Chaling is the wealth of Nanshan Town, and the people in the town have relied on these mountains for generations to make a living, but this place is a cage for her. Today she was coming out of this cage, and she swore that no matter how difficult the road was, she would never be trapped again.

The bus swayed on the mountain road for more than an hour to Nanchuan County, Lin Su got off the bus and bought a ticket to Linyun City, there is a high-speed bus from the county to the city, she is reluctant to spend a few more dollars, still take the national highway car, so bumpy to the city.

She set off from Nanshan Town early in the morning and arrived in Linyun City at almost noon. The traffic of high-rise buildings in the city is too strange to her, and she is unfamiliar with life, so she asks and walks, and finally finds the bus stop, planning to take the bus to school.

The first time she took the bus, Lin Su sat in reverse, she reversed the bus, and it was already noon when she arrived at No. 1 Middle School. The school security guard saw her suspicious, stopped her, and only let her go after reading the admission letter, and told her the location of the registration point by the way.

Linyun No. 1 Middle School is a staggered start of school, and high school freshmen are the first to register. When she arrived at the teaching building, Lin Su stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at the class list, she first went to find Xie Jingyu's class, and soon saw his name on the list of the third class. She looked down and found herself in the next class to him, class four.

There are five floors in the first floor, the first floor is the art room, the printing room and the grade office, and there are four classes on each floor. The higher the class number is, the higher the floor, Lin Su carried the snakeskin bag upstairs, and there was a lot of sideways attention along the way, and there was no shortage of people whispering behind her.

After a morning in the car, she described it as embarrassed, and she had been smoking in the bus for so long, and the smell on her body was not very good. Compared to her well-dressed peers on campus, she looked out of place.

Lin Su ignored the strange eyes and whispers of others, straightened his back and walked upstairs. When she reached the top floor, she went to the third class first, only to see that the door of the classroom was locked and empty.

Xie Jingyu is the registration fee, and if she can't find him, she won't have the money to pay for tuition.

Lin Su stood at the gate of the third class for a while before going to his class.

The classroom door of the fourth class was still open, and the head teacher Wang Yunzhi saw Lin Su and said happily: "You can be regarded as coming, but you are not the only one in the class who did not come to register." ”

After Lin Su approached, Wang Yunzhi glanced her up and down.

The girl is dressed plainly, dusty, and although her appearance is not as beautiful and cute as she has seen more today, her eyes are surprisingly bright, making her whole face look very wild.

Yes, wildness, a rare trait in a child of her age.

Wang Yunzhi especially focused on the snakeskin bag that Lin Su was carrying, hesitated, and asked, "What about your parents?" ”

Lin Su calmly replied, "I came by myself." ”

Wang Yunzhi was very surprised, the freshmen were not familiar with the campus, most of the students were accompanied by their parents, and Lin Su was the first student to sign up by himself.

Lin Su put the snakeskin bag on the ground, opened the zipper, rummaged through it, took out a document bag, and took out the admission letter from inside.

"Teacher, can I pay the tuition later?" Lin Su has been pointed at a lot along the way, but she ignored them, and only at this moment did she feel a little cramped.

Wang Yunzhi asked softly, "Do you have any difficulties?" ”

Lin Su didn't dare to admit it, she was afraid that Wang Yunzhi would not let her enroll, so she promised: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely pay the tuition as soon as possible." ”

Although Wang Yunzhi is still young, she also has two years of coaching experience, she can see Lin Su's embarrassment, and soon has a plan in her heart.

"You're going to live on campus, aren't you?" Wang Yunzhi asked.

Lin Su nodded.

Wang Yunzhi thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you go to the dormitory to sign in first, put your things away, and we'll talk about the tuition later." ”

Lin Su saw that Wang Yunzhi did not refuse to let him go to school, and the heart he was carrying fell to the ground, and he immediately thanked him.

Wang Yunzhi handed Lin Su a freshman admission brochure and advised: "Remember to come to the classroom at two o'clock in the afternoon, we have to have a class meeting." ”

"Okay." Lin Su took the manual, pulled up the snakeskin bag, carried it on his back, and left the classroom.

Only then did Wang Yunzhi bow his head and find Lin Su's name on the registration book, ticked a box at the back, and wrote three words: poor students.

After leaving the teaching building, Lin Su followed the sign to find the dormitory building of the first year of high school, she signed in with the aunt in charge of the dormitory, received the water and electricity card, and took the key to go upstairs. The bedroom was on the third floor, a four-person room, and when she entered, there were people in the room, and several parents were helping their children make the beds.

As soon as Lin Su entered the door, she was keenly aware of the strange silence in the bedroom for a few seconds, and finally an uncle with glasses greeted her and asked, "Are you Lin Su?" ”

Lin Su lifted the snakeskin bag to his shoulder and nodded.

"Hello, I'm Yuanyuan's father, and Yuanyuan sleeps on your top bunk."

Lin Su's upper bunk, Sun Yuanyuan, is a slightly chubby little girl, and she is also the first roommate in the bedroom to greet Lin Su.

"You're coming alone?" Sun Yuanyuan's father asked.

Lin Su still nodded, Sun Yuanyuan's father didn't ask much, and praised her, saying that she was independent.

Lin Su's other two roommates are called Li Leyin and Zhou Wan, Lin Su listened to their parents' chat, and only then did they know that Sun Yuanyuan and Li Leyin's home was in Linyun City, but it was far away from the school, and it was inconvenient to go to and from school, so they set up a residential school, and Zhou Wan was admitted from the county seat.

Sun Yuanyuan and the others came early, and with the help of their parents, they quickly packed up their things and made an appointment to go to the supermarket outside the school to buy some daily necessities. Sun Yuanyuan's father enthusiastically invited Lin Su to go with him, but Lin Su shook his head and refused.

She doesn't have enough money on her to spend as she pleases.

The school prepared quilt mattresses for the boarding students, Lin Su took out the sheets and quilt covers from the snakeskin bag, put them on neatly, and then sorted out the clothes and put them in his cabinet. She didn't have many things, and they were quickly put together.

She set out early in the morning, only ate a bun in the town, tossed all morning, and is now hungry. She washed her face, changed her clothes, put on her old school bag that she had been using since junior high school, locked the dormitory door and left.

Before the No. 1 Middle School officially opened, the school cafeteria was not open, so Lin Su bought two steamed buns and a bottle of water from the shop next to the dormitory building, and sat on the steps next to the playground to eat.

The playground of No. 1 Middle School is very large, much larger than Nanshan Middle School, the runway is not filled with sand, the football field in the middle is full of green, no one is drying tea on it, and the air is not filled with the fragrance of tea, but the faint smell of plastic emitted by the runway after being exposed to the sun.

The outside world is completely different from Chaling, this strangeness makes Lin Su feel free, and the idea of reading and staying in his mind is extremely strong.

She swallowed the water, devoured the two steamed buns, estimated that the time was almost up, and got up and walked to the teaching building.

There are 16 classes in the first year of high school, and each class has a class meeting in the afternoon, and there are more than 600 students in one building.

Lin Su was carrying a pink schoolbag, not to mention that there was a Barbie doll printed on it.

This schoolbag is when she graduated from primary school, a teacher who came to Chaling to teach gave her a gift for further education, when this style of schoolbag was still very popular with students, three years later, it has been regarded as a shoe by fast-growing teenagers and girls.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he no longer likes colorful colors, and with a little adult fan, he began to pursue the so-called maturity. Lin Su's schoolbag was obviously naïve, but in the face of the strange stares cast by the classmates around her, she was always calm.

There are stairs on both sides of the teaching building, and she deliberately went up from the stairs on the side of the first class, climbed directly to the fifth floor, and stood at the door of the third class, and then walked in directly.

There was a moment of silence in the classroom because of her presence.

Xie Jingyu noticed the strange atmosphere in the class, thinking that the head teacher was coming, but when he raised his head, he saw an unexpected person.

Lin Su's eyes were extremely aggressive, and Xie Jingyu frowned slightly under her gaze.

For a moment, it seemed as if he had fallen into a trap again.
