Receive with the sky

In the evening, the staff in the cafeteria serve meals on time according to their schedule.This was the first meal Chao Chen ate in the school cafeteria.

The rice is rice brought from my own home, and the dishes are also bad dishes brought from home. Because they are pickled, they can be placed at room temperature for three to four days.The dining tables in the cafeteria are small square tables, all of which are numbered. There are four dining tables in each class, which basically correspond to the arrangement of the dormitory. There are two dormitories for boys and two dormitories for girls. There are twelve people at a dining table.

Each dining table is equipped with twelve steamed rice boxes, twelve rice bags, a steaming rack, and a small cabinet for placing rice bags, all of which are numbered.There are two students on duty at each dining table every day. When the meal time is approaching, they line up in the queue outside the steam room.As soon as the meal time came, the student on duty carried a steaming rack with a whole table of twelve lunch boxes from the steaming room to the cafeteria.If the on-duty student is lazy and late, the diners at the table waiting to eat will starve. Not only will they have to wait hungry, but they will also have to watch the people at other tables open their meals.

After the meal, everyone washes the rice and puts it on the steaming rack, and the student on duty is responsible for carrying the steaming rack back to the steaming room.If the student on duty forgets, the whole table will have to go hungry together when the next meal is served.At the same time, the management of the canteen also stipulates that only dry rice should be eaten for three meals a day, because if someone cooks porridge, the soup in the porridge will spill out of the lunch box, and the staff in the steam room and the students on duty may be scalded by the boiling rice soup.

There is another task for the students on duty, which is to clean up the dining table after the meal, and clean the table top and the floor under the table.Only jars for vegetables can be placed on the table, and rice bags are all placed in cabinets by the wall.The vertical and horizontal directions of the dining table should be arranged neatly.

After dinner, Chen Chao came to the classroom and prepared for evening self-study according to the schedule.In the classroom, the students were busy sitting in their seats, and his deskmate Ye Li also entered the classroom on time and sat beside him.They only met for the first time this morning, but at this moment, Super Chen felt that they had known each other for a long time.

Perhaps it was because they were the closest to each other. Compared to most of the other students in the classroom who could not be named, Chen Chao felt that he and Ye Li knew each other.It stands to reason that when they met for the first time, they should have had a lot of words to exchange.Helpless, Chen Chao is a shy boy, he doesn't know how to open his mouth to start such a communication.He could only look at Ye Li secretly, as if waiting for her to speak first to start a communication.

The fluorescent lamps in the classroom are very bright, although only half of the profile can be seen, Super Chen can still see very clearly.Ye Li has piercing eyes, a round face, and a pointed chin.When he was watching carefully, Ye Li suddenly tilted her head, looked at Super Chen, and said:

"By the way, I don't know yet, which village are you from?"

"Xia Zheng." Super Chen said hurriedly, avoiding his eyes.

"Oh, I know, my family is in Xikou, and I have to go through Xiazheng when I come to Dongtun by car, and I often go to Xiazheng to play."

"Have relatives?"

"My grandmother's house is in Xiazheng."

"Oh I got it."

Both fell silent, and the short exchange ended.Just in time, the class bell rang on time, and the first self-study class began.

Because it was the first day of school and there was no homework, Super Chen could only look through the newly issued textbooks and preview the lessons that would be taught tomorrow.Chen Chao previewed the first section of Algebra and Geometry, and completed the exercises after class.This is relatively easy for Chen Chao, who has always been more interested in mathematics.As for the Chinese textbook, he just read the text of the article, and he didn't bother to write for the thinking exercises after class.He was even less interested in the remaining English.

At that time, English class was a new course for freshmen in rural middle schools.They have to learn the current English alphabet like learning pinyin in kindergarten.Chen Chao opened the English textbook and read a few pages, but still felt his mind was blank.The first few class hours were all everyday language. Although the English letters and pinyin were written in the same way, Super Chen could recognize them but couldn't read them.

A language class, if you can't speak it, how can you learn it!When Chen Chao was about to close the textbook, he noticed that his deskmate Ye Li was looking at the new English words seriously, her lips opened and closed, as if she was chanting the words.Seeing this, Super Chen consciously turned the textbook to the new words section at the back.

Teacher Cheng, the head teacher, walked into the classroom and said:

"The main arrangement of tonight's self-study class is to let everyone meet the teachers who teach you. First of all, I will be the teacher of your math class. I think you have also seen the newly issued textbooks, the math class of junior high school For algebra and geometry, I teach both of these courses. Two days ago, when you registered, you met me, and my name was signed on the tuition invoices. I think everyone should know My name is now, there should be no one who still doesn’t know.”

Teacher Cheng said, seeing a few students squinting their eyes and shaking their heads there, so he laughed and continued:

"That's all, then I will formally introduce myself. My surname is Cheng, and my first name is Xiaofang."

Mr. Cheng wrote his name on the blackboard stroke by stroke.

"Remember, don't shake your head foolishly in the future."

At this time, a male teacher appeared at the door of the classroom and nodded with Teacher Cheng.Teacher Cheng said:

"This is Mrs. Ye from your Chinese class. Now Mrs. Ye will accompany you to chat with us. We welcome you with applause." The applause resounded throughout the classroom.

"Hello students, I will teach your Chinese class. My surname is Ye, and my name is Wenxing. I have no characters or numbers. It is easy to remember, at least better than those ancient people in classical Chinese."

Teacher Ye also wrote down his name on the blackboard.Chen Chao's impression of Teacher Ye is that he has a round face, a deep voice, flowing hair and a sense of humor.

"In addition, I am the head teacher of Class [-] and Class [-] of your sibling class. Maybe you don't know the meaning of sibling class. In fact, it means that Class [-] and Class [-] share a set of subject teachers."

Afterwards, the English teacher also came. He was also a male teacher, with a tall figure, fair skin, and a little more handsome than the Chinese teacher.

"I am your English teacher. My surname is Huang and my name is Jianhui. I think most of my classmates are beginners in English class. I hope everyone will learn English well with my feet on the ground. In addition, I am still in the dormitory for boys in your class. Life instructor, after the self-study class, I will come to your dormitory and guide you how to start middle school boarding life."

Around the time of the second self-study class, the teacher of the politics class also came. It was a female teacher. She said:

"As for me, I am the head teacher of Class [-] of the first grade, and I am also the political teacher of Class [-] of the first grade. I teach the politics of all six classes by myself. I only finished the first three classes because of the first self-study class. So it's late."

It turns out that every teacher has multiple jobs. Apart from teaching, he also has other jobs, such as class teacher or life instructor, and even the leaders of the management team have to lead the class.

Before I knew it, the bell rang for the end of the third quarter's evening self-study get out of class.A small number of boarding students in the classroom walked out of the school gate, and their homes were basically in the town, while most of the boarding students from various villages returned to the dormitory building in groups.

Chen Chao and Ye Li finished their deskmate time on the first day, and the students in Class [-] of Junior One ended their short first day of school.Everyone has the same or different gains. Some people have met friends with similar interests, some people are fascinated by colorful new knowledge, and some people are full of sincere affection for the teacher they meet for the first time.

Chen Chao also met many classmates, and he was full of affection for the teacher he met for the first time, and he had a special liking for Ye Li, the opposite sex deskmate.His intuition told himself that Ye Li seemed to be different from the other deskmates of the opposite sex in elementary school.He feels that Ye Li is just like himself, boring, rational, no nonsense, and loves knowledge.

There are three buildings in the dormitory of Dongtun No. [-] Middle School, all of which are on the side of the school gate. From the outside to the inside, there are teacher dormitory buildings, mixed dormitory buildings, and student dormitory buildings, all of which are five-story buildings.The mixed dormitory building is divided into two parts, the left and the right, with stairs on the left and right. Half of the dormitory is for teachers, and the other half is for senior students.

First-year freshmen like Chen Chao and Ye Li were arranged in the student dormitory building at the back.In the five-story dormitory building, there is only a large staircase in the middle, and each floor has a large public washroom. Next to the stairs, girls live in the upper two floors, and boys live in the lower three floors.

After returning to the dormitory, Chen Chao and other roommates began to wash and prepare for bed. As soon as 10:30 arrives, the dormitory teacher will turn off the lights on time.There is no hot water provided in the dormitory building, so we have to take the kettle in advance to buy boiled water at the place where the rice is steamed.You can buy a full pot of ordinary-sized boiling water thermos for five cents.It doesn't matter if you don't have change, the school provides a five-cent boiling water ticket, and a one-twenty-five-cent vegetable ticket.

After returning to the dormitory for evening self-study, it is inevitable that you will be hungry. Some students use the boiling water in the kettle to make instant noodles and eat them. They are not instant noodles in buckets, but in bags. If you don’t prepare bowls and chopsticks, you can only use tooth cups The toothbrush did it for me.Fortunately, Chen Chao didn't have the habit of eating late at night, so he took the dental cup and washbasin directly to wash up.

Each dormitory occupies the same area and is compact and long. There is a door and a window at one end of the aisle, and another window at the other end.The boys’ dormitory for Class 202 and Class 203 is at one end of the second floor. There are two dormitories with house numbers 201 and [-], and dormitory [-] is for Class [-] and Class [-] of the sibling class.The layout of the dormitory is simple. There are three wooden bed frames on the upper and lower bunks on the left and right sides, and there are twelve beds in total.

Chao Chen is in the 202 dormitory, sleeping in bed No. [-], which is the upper bed next to the inner window.There is also a table in the dormitory, which is used to place toothbrushes, toothpaste and tooth cups.The metal cabinet leans against the wall on one side of the door. There are twelve lattice cabinets in four directions and three directions. There are doors that can be locked.There is an IC phone behind the door, which can be answered for free, but you need to bring your own phone card to make calls.The lower bunk has a bar on the side of the bed frame for hanging towels.Washbasins, buckets, and shoes are placed under the bed in the lower bunk, with the upper and lower bunks on each side.

When Chao Chen returned to the dormitory after washing, he heard the English teacher's voice.Only then did he remember that Teacher Huang was their life instructor, and he had said that he would come to the dormitory when he was doing self-study at night.
