Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

correct.

In the high schools in small places, not only do they not have the idea of ​​starting school early, but even the late self-study is only offered in the third grade of senior high school, and it is still the kind of self-selection.

Lin Pai looked at the empty school and sighed, feeling that his heart seemed to be empty too.

It wasn't because of Ni Shuqing's matter that they didn't even hold hands a few times, but another kind of weak and indescribable hope that seemed to be cut off just like that.

He remembered a popular excerpt among the girls in the class before, "When the cups meet together, it is the sound of broken dreams". Once the Chinese teacher praised the girl who used this sentence in the composition, and then this sentence became flooded. .

Now he seems to have a little understanding of the truth that literature comes from life.

It wasn't until dark that Lin Pai dared to go home. Grandma was very surprised that he came home on Friday. Normally, he would only come back on Saturday, and he would go back to school after a day.

But now that his grandson has come back, the old man excitedly went to the stove to cook, still muttering why he didn't call earlier so he could go to the vegetable market to buy more vegetables.

"The school said that we are too hard to start school early, so we have two days off this week, so that we can adjust our state."

Lin Pai said as if nothing had happened, and as soon as he moved the luggage into the room, he went to the stove to help the old man cook.

Grandma handed over the spatula in her hand and looked at Lin Pai suspiciously.

Lin Pai didn't dare to turn his head to meet the eyes of the old man, but only cooked the dishes skillfully, so the old man looked at him with loving eyes again.

"Grandma, go and rest, the two dishes will be ready soon." Lin Pai looked at the fire in the pot, and waved the old man out.

After Lin Pai fried a few times, the spatula lost its strength and slipped into the frying pan. Lin Pai was fascinated by the sizzling hot oil in the pan. It was not until half a minute later that the burnt smell of the cooking brought the old man back to life. attracted.

"Oh, what are you doing!" She took out two chopsticks, took out the spatula, and continued frying with another one. After she was busy, she saw that Lin Pai was still standing beside him, and it was her who pushed Lin Pai. Go out, "You go out and wait to eat, I'm not old enough to hold a spatula."

Lin Pai retreated to the door of the kitchen. Looking at his grandma's busy back, he silently walked back to his room. After closing the door carefully, he angrily kicked the backpack he had brought back.

The backpack rolled freely in the room for several weeks, hit the corner of the wall, bounced back half a circle, and stopped moving.

2. Chapter 2

On weekends, Lin Pai searched all over the supermarkets and restaurants in Heshan Town, but all the businesses in the town are small businesses, and during the busiest time, only relatives are needed to help, and there is no need for recruitment at all.

In a blink of an eye, it was Monday, and there was one week left before the start of Heshan High School, and the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office had already started to go to work one after another.

Lin Pai put the suitcase against the wall in the corner of the room, trying to reduce its presence as much as possible, and randomly stuffed a few changes of clothes into the backpack so that the backpack looked full.

He finally picked up a transparent file bag from the desk, which was sorted out last night, but he opened it and checked it again to make sure that all the materials were in it before repacking it.

"Grandma, I'm going back to school..." Lin Pai came out of the room, closed the door, and said to the grandma at the dining table, "If there is nothing to do this Friday, I will come back to see you."

The old man nodded and got up to see him off. He always felt that something was wrong. He didn’t realize that a suitcase was missing until the door, so he grabbed Lin Pai and asked him, “Where is your suitcase? Didn’t you bring it with you when you came back?”

"It's hot now, and I don't have much luggage. I put it in my schoolbag. When I came back, the suitcase was filled with last year's books, so I don't need it anymore."

He took out a set of rhetoric that he had prepared long ago, and the old man was convinced by what he said.

Lin Pai carried his backpack and walked towards the intersection where the bus often stopped. He was still wearing his black peaked cap, the brim of which was pressed down very low, and the shadow almost blocked his entire face.

Neighbors who got up early were practicing Tai Chi on the side of the road. To them, people wearing hats like this were as rare as people wearing masks in the vegetable market. .

The old man took out reading glasses from the pocket of his loose robe, craned his neck to look at it for a while, and concluded, "Maybe it's the son of a family working out of town."

After talking about this conjecture, he pondered for a while. It seems that he hasn't heard of any accident recently?

So the topic of the two quickly changed from who Lin Pai was, to which family in the town had a grandson, and which family's daughter got No. 1 in the exam.

Lin Pai turned around the corner of the street in front of the house, looked back, and found that the door of the house could no longer be seen from this position, so he changed direction with confidence and walked towards Heshan High School.

The school was not good enough. Lin Pai stood in the shade of the tree at the gate of Heshan High School, hesitating. Not far away, the marble engraved with the name of the school was covered with thick dust, and the paint on the font looked a little faded.

But in any case, after finishing high school, taking the college entrance examination, and then going to university, the life of the past 18 years has the opportunity to start again.

A gust of hot wind blew by, and he brushed aside the leaves blocking the brim of his hat, and walked out of the shade.

Through the small opening of the window, Lin Pai stretched his neck and asked the guard in the security room for the location of the Academic Affairs Office.

The school has not started yet, and there is only one person in the security room. He put together two wooden chairs to form a reclining chair, and he is lying on it with a small fan blowing. By the way, he put his feet on the table and covered his face with the security hat. sleep well.

Lin Pai knocked on the window and asked again at a slightly higher volume, "Hello, where is the school's academic affairs office? I'm here to go through the admission procedures."

The doorman pulled off the hat on his face, didn't intend to get up, but stretched his neck and asked Lin Pai, "What is it?"

"Come to go through the admission procedures, where is the Academic Affairs Office?" Lin Pai repeated.

"Oh..." The doorman seemed to have suddenly realized, as if he had asked about his professional field, sat up, and said with a gesture of pointing out, "You pay the tuition first, and then hand over the bank receipt to your head teacher That's fine! You wrote all the notices for this year's summer vacation, I said you students just don't read carefully..."

Lin Pai froze for a moment, feeling speechless. He took off his cap and wiped his sweat, and said impatiently, "Just tell me where the Academic Affairs Office is. I have something to do."

The doorman on duty finally came across someone, and he was such a student who was not humbly asking for advice. His enthusiasm was poured with cold water, and the fire was turned off immediately. He fell back on the "recliner" again, waved his hand perfunctorily and said, " On the third floor of the administrative building, there is a map when you enter the gate."

Lin Pai entered through the gate and found the map that the guard said not far away. The terrain of Heshan High School is not complicated, and the location of the administrative building is simple and clear, but Lin Pai walked for a full 15 minutes. The teaching level of this school is not very good , the area is quite large.

The teacher in charge of transfer procedures received the notice early on and was already waiting for Lin Pai in the office.Lin Pai took out the materials in the transparent file bag and checked them with her one by one.

She tapped the keyboard key by key, fiddled with it for a while, then raised her head from the computer screen, frowned and said to Lin Pai, "The information here is all entered, come over and check it yourself."

Lin Pai walked behind her, bowed his waist and scanned all the personal information, then straightened up and replied, "The name is Lin Pai, and the "Pai" in "Pai" is not Lin Bai. "

The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office took a closer look at the student status file, then looked up at the name column on the screen, and muttered, "Oh, that's right..."

Lin Pai wanted to put back the unused materials. The teacher of the Academic Affairs Office reached out and pressed the empty file bag, and said very naturally, "There are some paper materials that need to be kept on file. We have just started school and there is no new file bag to transfer over." , you can put it here first, so as not to confuse your materials with other things."

Lin Pai withdrew his hand, nodded, folded the extra material in half, and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office sorted out the materials, took Lin Pai's hand affectionately, pushed him to another middle-aged female teacher and said, "Your class is Grade [-] and [-], just right, your class teacher is on duty today, Li Chanjuan! Come on, this is the transfer student of your class this year, who came from the city's key middle school!"

"Hello, Teacher Li." Lin Pai nodded to her, and took the opportunity to pull out his linked hands.

There are neatly stacked textbooks and lesson plans on Li Chanjuan's desk. She wears thick black-rimmed glasses and looks refined. She got up and wanted to pat Lin Pai on the shoulder, but found that Lin Pai was too tall, so she patted Pat him on the arm.

"The school is quite big, I'll take you to find the location of the class." Li Chanjuan took Lin Pai out of the office and walked to Class [-] and [-].

Heshan High School has [-] classes in each grade. Except for the three classes on the first floor, there are five classes on each floor. Lin Pai's fifth class is just on the fourth floor. The first four classes are all key classes, in other words , the first four classes have the opportunity to hit the undergraduate university, and the latter classes are relatively in the state of Buddhism.

Lin Pai's absence from the first four classes was the idea of ​​the higher-ups. The school felt it was a pity, so they arranged him in the fifth class, hoping to gain the learning atmosphere of the next few classes.

"I've seen your grades in the first year of high school, and they are quite good. Although our school here is not as good as your previous school, but if you study hard, you will definitely be fine in the future. You can come to me if you have any problems in your study and life. I."

Li Chanjuan and Lin Pai stood at the door of Class [-], talking a lot with earnestness, and they didn't put Lin Pai back until noon.
