Doing It Over Again - Chapter 4
As a teacher, Li Lu really didn’t want to see such a situation in the students’ homes. He looked up at the half-old child in front of him, his whole body was clean, and he didn’t believe that there were no adults in his home to take care of him. But as a child, there is no need to tell such a lie that is easy to be exposed, and the first place in the experimental class admission test is so good, and there is no family to accompany the child to sign up, it seems that there is really no adult to take care of.
After recording the information, Li Lu handed Shen Shao a registration form: “Take this to the payment office to pay the tuition fee. After getting the payment slip, I will sign it again.” After saying this, Li Lu He asked again, “Do you want to apply to live on campus?”
The accommodation conditions in the experimental middle school were really bad. As the head teacher, he didn’t want to see the first place in his class because the accommodation environment affected his academic performance. But the child’s family situation is special, even if he wants to discuss with his parents, he can’t find a partner.
“I don’t live in school,” Shen Shao said with his head down, holding the application form: “My mother left me a sum of money for studying.”
Seeing the child’s head bowed, Li Lu couldn’t ask any more questions. After telling Shen Shao some precautions before school started, he let him pay the fee.
“Mr. Li, is this child a relative of yours?” Seeing that Li Lu had a very gentle tone towards the students who had just signed up, the teacher in the second class next to him joked, “This child is pure and innocent, and he looks like a good child. The students in the class are like this, and it is much easier for us as teachers.”
“Where are my relatives?” Li Lu smiled. It’s hard to say that his student had no mother and met a cheating father. He just smiled and said, “This child has good grades, and the family situation is a bit special.”
“Could it be the first place with a perfect score in the math test?” Seeing Li Lu smiling and not speaking, the second class teacher looked at Li Lu with envy and hatred. The school set up two experimental classes, but when the top four students in the entrance examination were divided into classes, one or three students were taken away by Lao Li, and only two or four students in their class won.
There were a lot of people at the payment office, and Shen Shao waited in line for a long time to hand over the money. When he returned to the registration office just now, he saw a few students and parents around Mr. Li’s desk, so he stood to listen to these people.
These parents are very polite to the teachers. After asking some questions about the school, they begin to introduce how seriously their children study and how hard they work, in order to leave a good impression on the teachers before the school starts.
“Mr. Li, my child is sturdy. If he doesn’t obey, you teachers will teach you a lesson, and we, the parents, will never give up.” When a parent who looked a little heroic said this, he slapped him with a palm-like palm. The son slapped his back and made a snapping sound.
Hearing this sound, Shen Shao felt pain for the short student. Seeing that he was staggered, he silently took a step back.
“Look at people, I’m looking at you,” the heroic parents pointed to Shen Shao, and then glanced at their children with disgust, wiped their big hands on the children’s heads, and then said to Li Lu a little to please, “Mr. Li, my family Don’t say anything else, the child will be honest and sure, it will not cause you any trouble.”
Li Lu has been a teacher for many years, and he has seen all kinds of parents, so this heroic parent did not startle him, but just looked at the child a few more times, “Your name is Yang Hongqiang, right?”
“Well,” Yang Hongqiang nodded honestly, then while his father was not paying attention, he looked at Shen Shao who was standing beside him, and grinned at him.
Shen Shao gave him a smile, because it was so long ago that he couldn’t remember many of his junior high school classmates, not to mention that he was in class 2 instead of class 1 in his last life, so he had no impression of ordinary classmates.
“Shen Shao, have you paid the fee?” Seeing him standing aside, Li Lu took his payment slip and glanced at it, then put a tick behind his name and put away his fee slip. , and handed the stub back to Shen Shao: “School will officially start on September 1st. We will be in the class at 8:30 in the morning. The classroom of our first class is the first from the left on the fifth floor of the No. 1 teaching building. Don’t be late.”
“Thank you, teacher.” Shen Shao took the payment slip, smiled at Li Lu and the classmate named Yang Hongqiang, and then turned to leave the registration point.
“This name seems to be familiar,” Yang Zhian thought for a while, and suddenly realized after a while, “Isn’t Shen Shao the first place in this admissions test?” He continued to look at his son with disgust.
Yang Hongqiang scratched his head, as if he didn’t see his father’s disdainful eyes, anyway, he had to take care of himself while he was disgusted.
There were still a few days before school started. Shen Shao tidied up the house, asked a locksmith to change the lock on the gate, bought a lot of reference materials and famous domestic and foreign books, and then returned to the village on the 31st.
“Xiao Shao, have you signed up?”
“Sign up, school starts tomorrow.”
“That’s good, go to the experimental class and pass the university entrance exam in the future.” People from the same village laughed and made fun of him, and then someone suddenly remembered something, “Shen Zhengyang from Shen Fudong’s family seems to have also signed up for the experimental middle school, and I heard that he was entrusted to him. The relationship of a relative in the family spent a little money to get in, but it’s just an ordinary version, not your top class.”
Shen Shao smiled and didn’t answer this. After saying goodbye to these people, he walked to his own house. After a long journey, he could hear them discussing how much money Shen Fudong’s family earned by working outside, and said that in order to save money. Shen Zhengyang got into the experimental middle school, how much money was spent.
He remembered that Shen Zhengyang had good grades in his previous life, and later he was admitted to a famous university in China. He was told by the villagers for a long time, but he worked outside and never met the top students in the village.
When he got home, he mentioned the fruits he bought to his uncle’s house. The uncle was there with Shen Yuan and Shen Hong. He put down the grapes and apples and said, “Uncle, I will go to school tomorrow.”
“Why do you buy these things?” Shen Jiandong knew that these fruits were not cheap, and wanted Shen Shao to bring them back. Seeing that his two daughters had already dug out the apples and gnawed them, he felt a little uncomfortable. Their family conditions are not good, and children rarely eat these things. He, a father, has no face to blame his daughter for being rude, so he coughed and said, “Have you been admitted to the experimental class?”
Shen Shao nodded: “School starts tomorrow morning, I can’t make it in time, I’ll go back to the county later.”
Shen Jiandong was even more annoyed when he heard his daughters nibble on the apples. It was his younger brother who did the wrong, but he, the uncle, couldn’t help the children much. When the Shen family saw the Shao family later, what kind of face would they raise their heads? ?
“It’s better to go early, but if you’re late on the first day, the teacher will have a bad impression on you.” Shen Jiandong touched his trousers pocket, but in the end he didn’t take out the 100 yuan that was in it, “I’ll take care of the house for you, don’t worry. read.”
Shen Shao glanced at Shen Yuan and Shen Hong, who were nibbling on the apple, and rarely looked at him out of the corner of their eyes, and even smiled at Shen Shao.
“Then I’m leaving. Uncle, pay more attention to your body at home.” Shen Shao stood up, and just walked out the door, he saw the aunt who came back with pig grass on her back. He repeated what he said to the uncle just now.
“Then…then how careful you are,” the aunt looked into the door and saw Shen Jiandong smoking a cigarette and didn’t speak, so she packed Shen Shao a bag of freshly picked freshly dried peanuts this year, “Take these and eat them. play.”
Shen Shao came home with peanuts and packed up the things at home. In fact, there was nothing valuable at home. The most valuable thing was the passbook with more than 10,000 yuan in it. He glanced at the empty room and walked out of the main room. Locked the door.
On the morning of September 1, the gate of the Experimental Middle School started to be lively, and various stalls in the street outside the door also began to set up. Shen Shao ordered milk for himself. When he woke up in the morning, he boiled milk and boiled an egg for himself. After eating, he didn’t feel very full. He bought a flower roll for 30 cents at the breakfast restaurant downstairs and ate it. Calm down in your stomach.
When he walked into a classroom, there were already a small number of students in the class. He found a seat in the third or fourth row and sat down. Just a few minutes after sitting down, he saw the classmates he had seen when he signed up a few days ago come in from outside. .
“Hey, you’ve already arrived?” Yang Hongqiang saw Shen Shao and sat beside him very familiarly, “So early?”
“I live not far from here,” Shen Shao glanced at his classmates and found that some of them knew each other, so they sat together and chatted. The whole classroom was noisy, and it really had the style of a vegetable market.
It was not even half past eight, and the classmates who had arrived after a long time were almost there, and some of the tables and chairs that had been set up were not enough, and some students who came late had to stand in the back.
There are only 40 places in each class that is actually admitted, but in fact there are at least 70 people in the class. These people are basically related households or money.
After a while, Li Lu appeared, and soon several workers came in with more than ten sets of desks and chairs. After everyone was seated, the originally loose classroom became crowded.
After maintaining the order, Li Lu introduced himself. Seeing that most of the students were sitting quietly and were satisfied with their discipline, he took out the roster and said, “Now let’s get to know each other first, and read the numbers. It is your student number in the future, everyone should remember it clearly. The students who read the name stood up and said, and now start the roll call.”
“Number one, Shen Shao.”
“Arrived!” After Shen Shao stood up, he heard a buzzing sound in the classroom. After seeing the teacher nod, he sat down calmly.
Many students in the class were wondering who the first place in the admission test was, so after Li Luga read out Shen Shao’s name, everyone looked at him to see if this person was a nerd.
Then everyone found that the first classmate was white and clean, with no glasses on his face, and his clothes were neatly dressed, which did not match their nerdy temperament at all.
Even some little girls thought very seriously that this student Shen Shao was very good-looking.
“No. 79 Zhang Xiaolan,” Li Lu read the roster, glanced down, and started talking about what time in the morning to start the morning self-study, what time for the lunch break, what time for the class in the afternoon, and what time for the evening self-study to finish school. After talking about this, I started to talk about the class record, “Students who have poor grades and don’t like to study will go to the regular class in the next semester. Our experimental class wants serious and hard-working students.”
Probably stunned by Li Lu’s words, the whole class suddenly became quiet.
Li Lu was very satisfied with the deterrent effect of this sentence, and he said something like wishing everyone to learn and be motivated, so he ordered a few big boys to go to the logistics department to wait for the book to be distributed.
Perhaps because of the experimental class, the logistics department quickly counted their class’s books, and it was not even eleven o’clock when Shen Shao finished distributing the books.
“Everyone, go back and preview the content. The class will be officially started tomorrow morning. Let’s end the meeting.”
As soon as Li Lu said these words, the students rushed out like horses who were enjoying themselves.
Shen Shao and Yang Hongqiang walked out of the classroom together, listening to Yang Hongqiang whispering in his ear who is doing what at home, he didn’t take it to heart at all, just waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
