Chapter 2 Alma Mater (Revised)
Li Zhongxin’s alma mater is called Jiangcheng 26 Primary School, located in the northwest corner of Jiangcheng, diagonally opposite Jiangcheng Coal Mine Machinery Factory.
Because it is because elementary school is a bungalow, all students near home have to take turns to bring firewood to school early to catch fire, and the children at teachers' homes are no exception.
Jiayuan students cannot get up early and go to school to cause trouble, so they have to do more other labor, which is also a rule passed down at that time.
Li Zhongxin, carrying a somewhat worn-out and yellowed Green Army shoulder, and carrying a small bag of firewood, walked slowly from home, reading the memories of later generations while sighing at the uncertainty of life.
The cool morning breeze at the end of March blew the hands and face exposed outside the Er cotton jacket, making Li Zhongxin feel extremely comfortable, and his little chest unconsciously stood up.
Li Zhongxin saw that the road was still the familiar road, and the houses on both sides were still the old houses in my memory. However, when I looked up, I could not see the traffic of later generations and the skyscrapers.
The sky was blue and blue, as if he had walked to the beach all at once. The birds passing by occasionally made him feel that everything was so beautiful after rebirth.
After passing through several alleys, Li Zhongxin arrived at the school before 7 o'clock.
At this time, several chimneys on the roof of the school had already raised smoke from the chimney.
After greeting Grandpa Zhang who was having an update in the concierge, Li Zhongxin walked straight to the classroom of Class One in three years.
Jiangcheng 26 Primary School is not big. In addition to the water room at the corner, there are twelve classrooms, a large teacher's office, and a brigade tutoring department.
The brigade counseling department is the school’s Young Pioneers counselor, school doctor, and cashier accountant working together. When Li Zhongxin was reborn yesterday, he was carried there by senior students instructed by school doctor Pei Hua.
Take off the public key to unlock the class door from your neck, Li Zhongxin tiptoed slightly and quickly opened a small lock hanging on the door.
After taking off the small door lock, he put the key on his neck, Li Zhongxin pushed open the door and locked the small door lock directly on the door handle inside the classroom.
After putting the schoolbag in the third and fourth rows where he was, Li Zhongxin skillfully took off the small bag behind him, took out the chopped wood inside, put two pieces into the stove, and then placed them into two piles according to the size.
Li Zhongxin took out a box of matches and a yellow-red color from the lower pocket of the second cotton coat, and the texture is very obvious. (The most flammable part of pine wood is that since Akiko does not rot and is not afraid of moisture, it contains a lot of oil and is easy to ignite. Akiko is used in the northeast for families with conditions to cause fire in winter.)
Li Zhongxin's father Li Shangyong is an employee of the No. 1 factory in Jiangcheng. He has no shortage of wood for burning fire every winter, so naturally there will be no shortage of red pine waste such as Akiko.
There are not many students in the class who use Mingzi to cause fire. After all, most families do not have the convenience of Li Zhongxin's family. Many students use waste paper, linoleum paper, or some combustible materials, and even pick up cow dung to make some stoves.
Rub the match gently and the small flame ignites.
After Li Zhongxin lit Mingzi, he put it on the wood that had been placed in the stove at an angle of 40 degrees, and then began to put the small pieces of wood on the burning Mingzi layer by layer.
After the fire gradually burns, put another pile of large pieces of wood on it, and the stove will be completely burned.
The coal used in the classroom was the one who made the update. Grandpa Zhang was responsible for the class. When the class opened, Grandpa Zhang carried the coal-filled bucket and poured the coal into the class's coal trough.
At that time, coal was supplied, and schools were no exception. The quota for coal used by schools was slightly higher, so in winter, there could be a warm room to save students from the pain of cold.
After Li Zhongxin lit the fire, he went to the water room to fetch a basin of water, took Grandpa Zhang's coal into the class and stirred it for a while, and then added the coal into the stove.
After glanced at the little red flower column hanging on the wall at the end of the classroom, Li Zhongxin sighed, walked to the corner of the front of the classroom, picked up a broom and cleaned the classroom.
Students in the 1980s took turns to be on duty, conducting weekly evaluations. Which group did a good job on duty, the members of the group would get an extra red flower.
There are three families in Li Zhongxin's group living in the Sand and Gravel Factory and Zhubantun, which are far away from the school. Classes start at 8 o'clock. When the weather is bad, they will be late when they leave home at around 6 o'clock.
At about 7:30, Li Zhongxin was excited to see that the reduced version of elementary school classmates had arrived in the class one after another.
Why is this reduced version of Yu Lei so cute? He looks so cute!
Why is Peng Wei so thin in this small trumpet? He was a fat man over 200 pounds in his later generations...
The students in my memory are in a bunch of four, three in groups, two in pieces, and everything they do. The whole class is as lively as a vegetable market.
After the preparatory ringtone rang, the class leader Ma Yan began to check the wearing of the red scarf, rectify the discipline of the students in the class, and collect the homework that students put on the desktop.
At this time, the class leaders in the primary school were very capable and did all the work by themselves. After collecting the homework, they would carry the homework book to the classroom office.
After the homework was collected, the health committee began to check the students' fingernails, whether they had cut their nails at home and whether the nails were clean.
Li Zhongxin recalled that in this era, not only did the nails but also the lice. If a lice were found on the hair of a student, the whole class would be far away from the student at least half a month, which was incomparable to the personal hygiene situation of elementary school students in later generations.
Just when Li Zhongxin didn't know where he was drifting, Qige Committee Member Zhu Hongyuan stood on the podium and waved his white little hands to sing the first lyrics he wanted to sing, "Let's take the oars... prepare to sing..."
The first song that Li Zhongxin sang after his rebirth was "Let's Roar" sang together with his classmates.
Although the singing voices are uneven, they have the spirit of that era. It seems that after singing a song, the spiritual outlook of the entire class has undergone tremendous changes.
The songs sang before class in the morning are usually two songs, and the two songs are sung until the bell rings. As soon as the class bell rings, the teacher will enter the class on time.
Li Zhongxin could do everything he said during class, and he didn't even have the time to listen to it. After class, the students asked him to go out to play, but he refused with the excuse of twisting his feet.
As a reborn middle-aged man, he felt that he had to study something and go back to the 1980s. His existence, like a function, represented countless possibilities and countless variables, and could even become the trendsetter of this era.
He was regenerated as a primary school student, and his family conditions were only average. The pocket money he could get from the right path was at most 80 cents, and he couldn't do anything at all.
At this time, there are no lottery or stocks, and we cannot make the first pot of gold that is not glorious.
What can be done at this time and how to obtain the start-up capital for doing things is the focus of Li Zhongxin's thinking.
After some careful consideration, Li Zhongxin finally made a decision and obtained the start-up capital from the submission.
Li Zhongxin remembers it very clearly that in the late 1970s, a child prodigy named Ning Bai appeared. He was allowed to go to university at the age of thirteen. He was the first recognized genius child in China.
The child who had never been to kindergarten showed some talent very early: he would recite more than 30 poems from Chairman Mao when he was two and a half years old, and he could count 100 numbers at the age of three.
It was the Cultural Revolution that year, and Ning Bai had no time to learn and stayed at home and was bored to read adult books. It is said that after reading more than a dozen Chinese medicine books, he was able to prescribe prescriptions for those around him and read Go books. He didn't have long been able to play chess with adults, and even beat many Go enthusiasts around him.
Li Zhongxin understood in his heart that it was a rare and ordinary thing for the genius children of that era to be placed in the next two thousand years, and there were quite a few things that children learned when they were old.
The most important thing is that Ning Bai was not as high as people expected in later generations, but felt that he had lost a lot of things and even became a monk. If it weren't for this, Li Zhongxin would have thought that Ning Bai was reborn in the late 1960s like him.
This Ningbo has a great influence on Chinese-style education, but for Li Zhongxin, this Ningbo is simply his lucky star.
Li Zhongxin felt that no matter what extraordinary things he did, he could use the word genius as a shield. From the time when Ganluo was twelve years old in ancient China to the appearance of Ning Bai, the genius child, it is enough to show that there are many prodigy in this world.
Li Zhongxin did not become a great writer in his previous life, but it did not prevent him from writing in his spare time. He can also be regarded as a well-known writer on Qidian Novels.com.
He felt that the quickest and most convenient way to get a convincing labor income in the 1980s.
Reform and opening up have just begun, and people have just struggled to get out of cultural famine.
People have just experienced the Cultural Revolution, and they are extremely empty in spirit and need cultural filling. The desire for literary works is unprecedented. Young people are proud of their love for literature, and their parents and elders even hope that young people can spend their time reading.
The college entrance examination was soon restored, and the five majors were born (TVU, University of Technology, University of Technology, University of Night, University of Business, University of Han), so the strongest slogan at this time was - knowledge changes destiny, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and don’t be afraid of traveling all over the world.
When I wake up in the morning, I read books with a book everywhere. No matter what the book it is, most young people spend their energy on studying.
Li Zhongxin was very interested in publishing some mature small works in China. After all, he was in his forties and had a very good cultural heritage a long time ago. The literary level of later generations was simply unimaginable in the 1980s. There was no problem letting him write some good things.
However, Li Zhongxin did not have the idea of publishing too many articles in China. When he was free, he would simply submit the "Story Meeting" several times, or submit the articles to "Chinese Youth" as long as it was simple and had a certain income.
At this time, Li Zhongxin not only gained a sum of funds for his ideas openly, but also laid the foreshadowing for his future creation.
The place where Li Zhongxin wants to contribute the most is actually the influential magazines of "October" and "Mengya" that are China. They are the leader in literature in the Chinese literary world. Now, there are almost no cultural people who don't know these two magazines.
"October" means that the "Gang of Four" was smashed in October 1976. People bid farewell to the ten-year nightmare and began the pursuit and dream of a new life. The works published in "October" and received good reviews not only record the depth achieved by the thoughts of an era, but also record the accuracy achieved by the art of an era.
"Mengguo" represents the pioneer of young literature and art in the 1980s. Li Zhongxin still remembers that Mr. Ba Jin said in his congratulations on the first issue of "Mengguo": "Any beautiful flower and any towering tree grow from germination. Any germination will develop its prosperous future as long as it gets the nourishment of sunshine and rain."
Although these two types of magazines are the ones that Li Zhongxin yearns for submissions and can get a lot of rewards, Li Zhongxin gave up this idea. No matter how outstanding a primary school student is, no matter how he does it, he will not write such profound articles.
If you want to contribute to these two magazines, at least you have to wait until he reaches junior high school, otherwise he will really be unable to explain it.
