Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 77 New Semester

In junior high school, Li Shaoyun is also 12 years old.

She had to adapt to the new environment and new classmates.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Mei and Li Hong to follow and transfer to the town.

It's good to move to the town, but one needs favors, and the other costs money.It will cost a fortune to entrust someone to turn it over, and it will also cost extra for daily life.

Whether it is going to school in the town or room and board, it must be relatively more expensive than the township middle school.

The level of consumption is different on both sides.

Although the town is better than the village, the speed of economic development and the flow of people here are faster than that of the village, and the news spreads faster, and even the ideas are different.

Sometimes I feel that the township middle school seems to be several years behind the town!

This is what Li Mei told Li Shaoyun later.

Li Mei and Li Hong were very envious of Li Shaoyun being able to study in the town, but they also knew that it was impossible for them to transfer to the town due to their own conditions.

According to Li Mei and Li Hong, the location of the township middle school is on a small high slope.Once Li Shaoyun followed Li Mei and the others to visit with great interest on a weekend, and came back silent.

This school looks much dilapidated than the town.Whether it is the playground or the appearance of the classrooms, they all look dilapidated.

Not to mention the fact that the playground is made of yellow mud. It is probably impossible to leave when it rains.The house in the classroom is old at first glance. Although it is a rare brick house, it is at least decades old!

Later, I heard that this house was originally a Taoist temple. After the liberation, all the Taoists in it left, leaving some old houses.

On this basis, the middle school was renovated and a part was newly expanded, and it became the current township middle school.

Of course, the town center is the central school of the entire town, and its software and hardware facilities are naturally higher than a township middle school.

But the hardware alone is so different, Li Shaoyun thinks that Li's father's decision is quite wise.

The township middle school is a full seven or eight miles away from the village. The key point is that there was no major road in the past, and people basically went to school on country roads.

If you take the main road, you can do it, but there are many detours!
If you have to walk twenty or thirty miles in a day now, if you go around, it will probably take fifty or sixty miles!

Don't think this is an exaggeration. In fact, the distance in a straight line is not very far, but it's not that the terrain is uneven. Looking up the mountain and running dead horses, going up and down the ditch, there are so many miles of land.

Why does the main road have to be detoured? It's not a matter of terrain!It can't walk in a straight line, and it can't be worth it!

The key point is that the current rural roads are built by the villagers themselves, and the state still doesn't take care of them.

Later generations vigorously developed the construction of small towns to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.Since coming to this era, Li Shaoyun has sighed like this more than once!

This promotional slogan is so apt!

But even in later generations, there are still many places where this problem has not been solved.

The region is large, the population is large, and the development is not balanced. The country always has strengths and weaknesses.

This is the case in rural middle schools now.

Li Shaoyun asked Li Mei and Li Hong, knowing that they spent a lot of time on the road to school.

I get up early in the morning, wash up quickly and then walk to school. I go to school hungry now, and I am not used to going to school after breakfast.

In order to catch up with time, we had to set off against the faint skylight, and the bicycle was not working well!

why?Not to mention the uneven terrain, the key is that the small roads everyone walks, bicycles can't walk!
Unless you carry the past where you can't pass, but isn't this a waste of effort?
Taking the main road is also delayed, the journey is long, and the time is correspondingly lengthened!
When I arrived at school by bike, not to mention exhausted, it was quite exhausting.It takes time to regain physical strength, and other students have already studied for half a day!

I had to come back for lunch at noon, and I was running and bumping.Whether it's walking or eating at home, please don't dawdle and move quickly, otherwise you may be late in the afternoon!
Although the school also has a cafeteria, not many people eat at the school.In addition to the teacher, there are only a few students who have a difficult journey.

The reason is that the current general family conditions are limited, and it would be nice to be able to send them to school!To eat at school, you have to pay not only money but also food.

Although there is no need to pay food stamps, the processing fee of a few dollars per week is still required. It is impossible for people to do it for you in the cafeteria.

You can bring your own staple food and vegetables, but it’s okay in winter, but it’s not easy to solve in summer!

The weather is hot, no matter what you eat, it will go bad, even if it is fried a little salty!Moreover, it is just as bad if it is salty for a long time!
It’s not enough to just bring pickles, let’s not talk about health issues, children also have a mentality of comparison, if someone keeps eating pickles, there will be subtle contempt among classmates.

Children in junior high school are naturally not as direct as elementary school students, but this kind of exclusion is even more unbearable!

And in the cafeteria, let alone whether there is meat or not, the cheapest stir-fried vegetables cost [-] cents a piece, depending on the season.Eat whatever you have.Any dish that is in peak season will naturally be cheaper, and it goes without saying that it is in off-season.

In the peak season, the food is cheaper, but no one can bear to eat it every day.

Most of the children are thirteen or fourteen years old now, and there are more older children in the third year of junior high school.

Schools have different standards for going to school these days. For example, Li Shaoyun went to school early, and he was less than 13 years old when he went to junior high school.Li Mei and Li Hong both go to school normally, and they are both one year older than Li Shaoyun.

Fourteen or fifteen years old is when the body is growing up. The school meals cannot meet the nutritional needs of the children. They eat a lot but they cannot resist hunger. Especially when they go back to self-study at night, they are so hungry that sometimes they can’t sleep.

Families with good conditions can occasionally buy some food from the small shop next to the school, but most people have to endure it.

If one catty of grain is exchanged for the staple food, rice is equivalent to one catty, and steamed buns are about the same. How can this amount of grain be enough for these growing children?
Paying too much is also a burden to the family!The family has to eat too!
So everyone would rather work harder and run home to eat than eat in the school cafeteria.

At the beginning, Li Shaoyun was a little envious of Li Mei and Li Hong being able to go to school together and having someone to keep company with.

Unlike her transfer to a new school, she has to adapt to the new teacher, and she doesn't have a familiar classmate yet.

But after seeing the school where Li Mei and the others went to school, they silently swallowed back this envy.

Later, when I went back to the village to play with Li Mei and the others on weekends, Li Shaoyun heard Li Mei chatting that their new English teacher was a high school student.

This young teacher failed the university entrance exam, and there was a shortage of English teachers in the village, so this one went to their school and became an English teacher.

According to Li Mei, he looks pretty good.

Li Shaoyun: ... High school students are really valuable these days!
It seems that whether it is now or later generations, this is the familiar world of looking at faces!
I don't know if this teacher has any background, and how he became an English teacher in a middle school, but Li Shaoyun is really sweating for Li Mei and the others in this kind of teaching.

Of course, it is also possible that this teacher's teaching method has outstanding advantages, so the school chose him.

Who knows!
