60s Splendid Life

The primary school in their village was an old school in the village. There were a few old tile-roofed houses with green bricks and a yard outside, surrounded by a low wall. A jujube tree was planted in the left corner of the yard.There are more than a dozen long tables and long benches in the two rooms, each table can seat two to three people, and a wooden board smeared with black ink is hung on the wall as a blackboard.

They came quite early, the teacher hadn't gone to class yet, and the students were running around playing outside the classroom.

"Knock Knock-"

Lu Jin found an office and saw two people sitting and talking inside, so he reached out and knocked on the door.

Teacher Sun saw a young man with a few children at the door, but they didn't look like students from their school, so he got up and walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter, comrade?"

"Hi, it's like this. I want to send my younger brothers and sisters to school. I don't know which teacher to ask for this matter?" Before coming, Lu Jin had already asked Aunt Qin about the situation of their elementary school. There are only two teachers, so the two people in this office are probably teachers of this school.

"Just ask me to do it. My surname is Sun. Just call me Teacher Sun. Come in and talk." Teacher Sun let people in. He sat down on the office chair, opened the drawer and took a notebook and a pen. After coming out, he looked at Lu Jin and a boy and girl behind him, and introduced Teacher Yang who was sitting across from them, and then asked Lu Jin, "Are you sending the two younger siblings behind you to study?"

"um, yes."

"What's your name, how old are you, have you ever been to school before?"

"The girl's name is Lu Qinglian, Qing is Qing at Three Points of Water, Lian of Lotus, and she is eight years old this year. The boy is called Lu Haochen, Hao at Three Points of Water, and Qing Chen is seven years old this year. She didn't go to school before, but she is at home I have learned calligraphy, can write, can hold a pen, and can do simple arithmetic." Lu Jin briefly talked about the learning situation of their two children.

"Oh, that's okay, as long as you can hold a pen and write." Teacher Sun wrote two names on the notebook with a pen, registered the names and ages of the two children, and asked, "What are the names of the parents?"

"My parents are gone. I am their older brother, named Lu Jin. You can call me if you need anything at school." Lu Jin said.

Teacher Sun's writing hand paused for a moment, and he looked up at Lu Jin with a little scrutiny in his eyes.Teacher Yang, who was sitting at the opposite table preparing lessons, raised his head to look at the children.The two teachers exchanged glances, and Teacher Sun didn't ask any more questions. He just hummed and said yes, "Do you have your household registration book?"

"Yes." Lu Jin took out the account book and put it on the table.

Teacher Sun picked up the household registration book and carefully looked through it. When he saw that the head of the household was indeed written with the word "Lu Jin", he realized that this tender-looking boy was only 13 years old this year.

When she spoke again, Teacher Sun spoke in a much gentler tone than at the beginning, "Now we only have two classes, one is the lower grade class, and the first, second and third grade students are in the same classroom. It is a senior class, and students in grades four and five are in the same classroom. Teacher Yang and I are the only ones in class. I take Chinese and politics, and teacher Yang takes math. We teach the five grades. .”

"Since the two students Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen have never attended school before, I would suggest that they start from the first grade and take classes with lower grade students. Is this okay?"

"Yes, no problem." Lu Jin nodded in response.

"We have been in class for almost a month now. You came late and missed the previous class. I don't know if they can keep up with the progress of the class. You have to make up the class by yourself when you go home. Do you have to go to school? Did you pass?" Teacher Sun looked at Lu Jin and asked the last sentence. He heard Lu Jin's conversation like someone who had read books. It shouldn't be a big problem to teach younger brothers and sisters to learn characters.

"I did." Lu Jin replied.

"That's fine. You can make up lessons for them when you go back, or you can ask Teacher Yang and me if you don't understand anything. Now that the school has no extra textbooks, they first borrow textbooks from the students in the class and share textbooks with others. For class, you go to the village to find someone to ask if there are any old textbooks, borrow two first-grade textbooks for class, and if you can’t borrow them, come to me again, and I will help you find a way.” If it weren’t for seeing that both children had arrived At the right age to study, Mr. Sun wants them to go back and wait for a few more months, and then report when the new semester starts.

There were not many little girls in the village who came to study. Seeing that Lu Jin brought his two younger brothers and sisters to ask them to send them to study, he did not refuse. At that time, he made an exception and let the two children come in to join the class. The child's impression is also good, and I am willing to make an exception for them.

"We have our own textbooks. Teacher, do you think this textbook can be used?" Lu Jin asked the child to take out the textbook he brought from his backpack. It was the textbook he used in previous classes. Fortunately, they didn't throw it away when they moved. It was because he remembered today that he needed to use textbooks for school and found them in a box of books.

"It's ok, it's this set of textbooks." Teacher Sun took a look at the textbooks, and said with a smile: "Since you brought the textbooks yourself, you can go directly to the classroom for class. Oh, there is another one It's about the tuition fee. The tuition fee is one yuan and fifty cents. You are transferred here, so the tuition fee for this semester is..."

"Mr. Yang, how do you charge this tuition fee?" Teacher Sun asked Teacher Yang who was on the opposite side.

Teacher Yang didn't encounter anyone who came to join the class halfway, and the two of them were about to discuss how to charge tuition fees.

"How about this, Teacher Sun, Teacher Yang, we don't need to bother too much, let's pay the fee directly by one semester." Lu Jin looked at the teacher's embarrassed face and didn't know how to calculate it, so he took out three yuan directly Pay the tuition fees for the two children.You can't ask the teacher to give them a discount on the tuition because they miss a few days of class, right?

Originally, they came to transfer to the class, and the teacher was very kind to let them transfer to the class. If he cares about the few cents, it seems that he, the parent, is too incompetent.

"...That's fine, I'll give you the invoice." They used to pay the tuition fee for one semester when they met students who were late, and they didn't say that they could pay a little less if they were late. They won't accept anything that comes.Today's situation can be regarded as making an exception and accepting two students, because it may be difficult to see the families of several children, so he hesitated.

Seeing that the parents themselves had no objection, Mr. Sun took out the receipt book, opened two bills for fees, stamped them, and tore off Fulian and handed them to Lu Jin, "This is the receipt for fees, please keep it carefully. "

"Okay, thank you teacher." Lu Jin took it and thanked him.

Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen also followed their brother to thank the two teachers.

Only little Bao'er looked at her elder brother and sister who were going to school, nestled in her elder brother's arms obediently, and looked at the two teachers with a pair of beautiful eyes with a little curiosity.

"Let's go to class, Lao Yang, take the two of them to class by the way."

"Okay. You two come with me, go to the classroom and arrange a place for you, and go to class with other students."

Now it's time for class, and the two teachers are going to the classroom to teach the students.In the morning, Teacher Yang was teaching a lower grade class, and Teacher Sun asked Teacher Yang to take the two new students to the classroom by the way, and Teacher Sun himself had to attend classes in the fifth and sixth grades.

"Go in and listen carefully to the teacher's lecture, you know? Don't talk abscond."

"I know brother."

"go in."

Lu Jin hugged Xiao Baoer and followed behind. He watched the two children follow the teacher into the classroom. He stood outside the classroom and watched.

A classroom is not very big, there are about 30 to [-] people in it, because the students from the first grade to the third grade are in the same class, so it seems that there are all ages from seven or eight to eleven or twelve years old, some The children are tall and some of the children are very short.

He is not very familiar with the people in the village, and he doesn't know the children in the village very well, so he doesn't know most of the students sitting in the class.

However, when he saw his second uncle's son sitting in the class, Lu Jin frowned unconsciously. His impression of this cousin was really bad.The reason is that when the brothers and sisters came back to their hometown with their parents, his second uncle's son often robbed them of their things, especially when they came back to live in Lu's house, this cousin often bullied and made fun of them. .

The 12-year-old Lu Songguang sits half a head taller than the surrounding classmates. Judging from the way he is lying on the table and talking to people, he does not seem like a student who will take classes seriously.

"Come here to welcome our two new students. The students applaud." Teacher Yang led the two new students to stand on the podium. After applauding first, the two new students introduced themselves.

"Hi everyone, my name is Lu Qinglian, and I am eight years old."

"Hi everyone, my name is Lu Haochen, and I am seven years old."

Lu Qinglian and Lu Haochen stood on the podium one after the other to talk.

Because their elder brother had taught them how to introduce themselves to their classmates before they came to school, so now they were standing on the podium, although both siblings were a little nervous, they could clearly introduce their names and ages.

When the students below saw the two new students, they all looked at them curiously, especially when they saw that there was a female student among the new students.There are not many female students in the classroom, most of them are male students. Suddenly such a beautiful female student came, and the male students of the monitor all pointed at this beautiful female student and laughed.

Most of the boys and girls in this grade don't know what liking is, but it doesn't prevent them from knowing that the female classmate is good-looking.

"Are they from our village too? I haven't seen them before?"

"I don't know, and I don't know them."

"Anyone know them?"

"Do you know them?"

"..."

Lu Songguang, who was sitting at the bottom seat, heard someone talking on the podium, so he raised his head and looked up. He recognized at a glance that the two new classmates standing above were his cousins. His eyes were like Looking at the pair of siblings in a sudden poison, he was already thinking about going to chat with the two cousins ​​after school.

The author’s gossip: I would like to explain here that before going to school, you have to pay tuition fees. You didn’t say that you are free because your family is poor, so tuition fees still have to be paid.
