On the morning of the official start of school, the four siblings went to school in two groups.
Xiao Bao took on the responsibility of taking Er Ya to and from school, holding her hand as they walked.
Dabao and Zhou Xiaoyun rode their bikes for more than half an hour, leaving home after six o'clock. Wang Jingjing, who had been waiting for them since early morning to go to school together, accompanied them on the way.
Wang Jingjing started chattering excitedly about what happened when she reported yesterday.
Never mind how things are going on, Wang Jingjing always has a way of making it sound interesting.
When they arrived at Qiming Middle School, Wang Jingjing and Dabao went into the school first. Zhou Xiaoyun had to ride a little further before she could get to the school. The school had a special bicycle shed for students to park their bicycles, and when Zhou Xiaoyun arrived at the shed, she found that many bicycles were already parked there.
Zhou Xiaoyun thought to herself, after all, it's a key middle school. It seems that everyone starts learning very early and it's completely different from the carefree days of elementary school.
As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw that more than half of the classmates had arrived.
However, it seems that most of the students are not very familiar with each other, only a few are chatting, and the others are looking at the newly issued textbooks.
Zhou Xiaoyun felt a different learning atmosphere, and while sighing, she took out her textbook to read.
She only knows two people, Xu Meili and Qin Xue. Xu Meili hasn't arrived yet, but Qin Xue has come to the second floor. However, facing the not-so-friendly Qin Xue, Zhou Xiaoyun doesn't want to be too enthusiastic either. If you don't care about me, I'm not sure if I want to bother with you!
Xu Meili enters the classroom
He naturally sat down beside Zhou Xiaoyun.
Perhaps it's because everyone in the class is a new face, but now looking at Xu Meili she doesn't seem so annoying after all.
Xu Meili is just a bit vain, a bit strong-willed, and a bit shallow, but other than that she's okay. They're all just teenage girls who grew up together in the same village, so they can at least have a conversation, thought Zhou Xiaoyun, let's not be too picky.
Xu Meili said happily: "Zhou Xiaoyun, how did you come this morning?"
"I certainly came by bike, with my brother and Wang Jingjing. How about you?"
Xu Meili smiled and said, "I was sent here by my dad on his motorcycle. I'll go to Er Yi Fu's house for lunch at noon, and then my dad will come pick me up after school in the afternoon."
Wow! A private car is picking her up, it seems that Xu Meili's father loves her very much.
This kid is the treasure of his parents no matter what, Xu Meili made a fuss about going to Yingming Middle School, and Xu Dashan silently went to find his brother-in-law for help. Now he's taking care of picking him up and dropping him off every day, what a good dad!
Zhou Xiaoyun sincerely praised: "Xu Meili, your dad really has nothing to say about you."
Xu Meili proudly raised her head: "Of course, at home my dad is the one who spoils me the most. Whatever I want, Dad immediately buys it for me. Even when we come to the city mall to buy nice clothes, it's always my dad who brings me!"
It seems that parents love their children in different ways, but they all come from the heart.
Same here!
Zhou Xiaoyun and Xu Meili chatted casually for a couple of sentences before starting to read their textbooks.
Xu Meili saw people around her studying hard and thought she couldn't fall behind, so she started reading too.
When the head teacher came into the class, he saw that most of his classmates were studying and looking at their textbooks. He nodded in satisfaction and happened to scold those boys who had been talking all the time for two sentences.
It's estimated that those boys were originally from the same school, or maybe even the same class. Anyway, they seemed quite familiar with each other. From the moment they entered the classroom, they hadn't stopped making noise, but after being scolded by Teacher Ní with a stern face, they all quietly returned to their seats.
Next is the arrangement of positions and cleaning up.
The formation is the same as in elementary school, with students lining up by height.
The difference is that boys and girls stand in separate lines, then one boy and one girl pair up and sit together.
The students in the back of the classroom started whispering to each other, discussing and criticizing the teacher's seating arrangement.
Zhou Xiaoyun also found it strange that in elementary school, girls sat with girls and boys sat with boys, but unexpectedly, when they got to middle school, the teachers had different ideas and actually let students sit together in pairs of one boy and one girl.
It's probably because sitting like this allows you to focus more in class and have fewer conflicts after class.
Thinking about it, if the "female" classmates sit together and don't talk, it's simply impossible. And when boys sit together, it's even more intense, talking, making small movements, and even arguing and fighting.
Can't help but say, Teacher Nai is strict with students
That's quite something!
So, reluctantly, the students honestly followed Teacher Nai's arrangement and took their positions one by one, and they all sat down in just over ten minutes.
Teacher Ní's eyes scanned the classroom and began to speak: "Classmates, from today on, you are all first-year students. Since you have come to Yingming Middle School, I hope you will realize the importance of learning. Junior high school is completely different from elementary school, it is a brand new learning environment, you must be spirited, throw away all bad habits and start studying seriously from today, did you hear?"
The voice of the answer below was faint and unclear, which did not satisfy Teacher Ní very much. He raised his voice again and asked: "Did you hear?"
The whole class responded loudly: "I heard!"
Yeah, this is about right.
Teacher Nai was finally satisfied and continued to talk a lot.
Zhou Xiaoyun felt ashamed of her own blindness yesterday, and thought that he was a cool guy who spoke briefly and to the point, but after seeing and hearing him today, she realized that he was actually a nagging man through and through.
It's all said and done, it's all over by that day! Every sentence is a lesson, you can imagine there won't be any good days in the future.
Alas! It seems that life in junior high school isn't as wonderful as I had hoped!
It wasn't until Teacher Nai finished speaking that it was almost past 10 o'clock, and then he arranged for all the students in the class to bring cleaning tools in the afternoon to do a thorough cleanup.
There are brooms and dustpans in the classroom. Each student also brings their own rags to wipe windows, desks, walls, etc.
There is also a large clean area in the center of the campus road, which needs to be swept twice a day.
Zhou Xiaoyun was assigned to clean the windows, thinking that this job is not easy at all, having to climb up and down, no way out, whoever was arranged to do it dared not oppose.
This afternoon is going to be a thorough and intense cleaning spree.
There were four large windows in the classroom, Zhou Xiaoyun and another 'girl' were responsible for wiping one of them.
Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at this 'girl' a few times.
This girl looks familiar too!
It's as if they were originally someone I knew, with a familiar feeling in their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features.
"Hi, I'm Zhou Xiaoyun, what's your name?"
The girl smiled brightly and said: "My name is Liu Lu."
Liu Lu?
Zhou Xiaoyun was stunned.
Are there really so many coincidences in this world?
