Rebirth began in 2004

September 1st is the start of another year of school.

Chen Wei had a bag on his shoulder and another in his hand, standing in front of the familiar yet unfamiliar school gate.

Liangshui Middle School is only a junior high school with three grades. The students who attend it are all students from several nearby towns.

Looking at the school gate, it is quite different from the school gate in our impression.

In other words, there is no difference between this gate and the courtyard gate in northern rural areas.

Just installed a big iron gate.

Needless to say, the wall is quite high.

There isn't even a plaque or anything on the school gate.

After clicking his tongue, Chen Wei remembered that the school never seemed to hang its own sign outside.

If we didn't know this was a school and strangers passed by, who would know what it was doing here.

The road outside the school gate is not paved with cement, but is paved with stone slabs and cement slabs. When it rains, water accumulates.

If someone accidentally steps on that loose stone slab, the water below will splash up.

His pants and shoes were covered in mud.

Chen Wei was not in a hurry to pay his tuition fees. There were still many people queuing at the payment window.

He went to the school dormitory first.

Liangshui Middle School has a five-story teaching building with twenty classrooms.

There is also a row of old classrooms, which were demolished and only four classrooms were left. Walls were built in the middle of the classrooms to separate them, and they were converted into boys' dormitories.

It looks like there are 20 people living in a dormitory.

I heard that after 2008, people were not allowed to live in the houses because they were said to be dangerous.

There are seven boys' dormitories, and one is in the teaching building.

The first floor of the teaching building is also converted into classrooms.

Anyway, from the perspective of hindsight, the student dormitories of Liangshui Middle School definitely do not meet safety standards.

A dormitory is filled with iron frame beds, and dozens or hundreds of students live together in the teaching building, classrooms and dormitories.

The girls' dormitory is also converted into classrooms and is on the second and third floors.

There are iron doors at the two stairwells of the teaching building that can be closed. Once the iron doors are locked at night, boys cannot go up and girls cannot get down.

Chen Wei is a little numb. Where was the dormitory he lived in when he was a freshman in junior high school?

It seems like when I was in junior high school, I changed dormitories several times.

Find a dormitory to live in?

His quilt was still on the bed in the theater.

After so many years, Chen Wei still really doesn’t know what his quilt looks like.

In order to live on campus, Chen Wei still remembers that Chen Jianhua specially carried the quilts at home to the city to have them refinished.

In order to save money, Chen Jianhua also walked into the city carrying a quilt on his back.

Therefore, the quilt should look quite new.

"Chen Wei?"

Chen Wei looked at the person who called his name in surprise. He had memories of this face and even his name.

After so many years, there are not many people who can still make Chen Wei remember his name.

"Hey, Brother Chao, long time no see!"

Chen Wei silently said in his heart: Long time no see, Zhou Chao!

Chen Wei remembered that the two slept in bunk beds.

When Zhou Chao heard Chen Wei calling him, he dared to believe that the person in front of him was Chen Wei.

The changes have been too big.

"Should we change dormitories?"

Zhou Chao: "No? Do you want to change dormitories?"

"We are already in the second grade of junior high school, so we should change into something new, right?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it!"

"Have you signed up?"

"Not yet! There are so many people now, so it will be the same if we go later. Teacher Ou has already said that you can wait and sign up again."

School starts today, not only the second and third grade students are returning to school, but the first grade students are also signing up today.

After having Zhou Chao, Chen Wei's memory continued to revive.

Zhou Chao has already made the bed.

Chen Wei put the things on the ground and squeezed the quilt with his hands, which made it feel slightly damp.

The south is like this, and Chen Wei doesn't think there's anything strange about it.

It's a cloudy day today, so I can't even take the quilt out to dry it in the sun!

Classmates are constantly entering the dormitory, including those from my own class and those from other classes.

He took the initiative to greet Chen Wei, and Chen Wei naturally responded enthusiastically.

Everyone was a little uncomfortable with Chen Wei's sudden change.

But I didn't feel anything.

Because everyone put on new clothes when school started.

Chen Wei never told anyone about his family before.

Although Liangshui Middle School is right on the edge of the city and will still be in the city in the future, this junior high school is a township junior high school and the students it recruits are all from rural areas.

Those who are really rich and value their children's education send their children to experimental middle schools or foreign language schools in the city.

So in this school, the culture of comparison is not serious.

Lay out the sheets and put on the quilt cover.

Just this pillow, it's all black.

Chen Wei really didn't like it and was ready to buy another one.

Another thing, lunch boxes!

As soon as Chen Wei opened the lunch box, he was speechless. It was full of mold.

There is no sour smell because it has been left for too long.

If it has been stored for just a few days, it will have a very sour taste.

This lunch box is also old and has been used since elementary school.

Chen Wei silently put it into the ranks of being discarded.

In addition, you have to buy toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, basin, soap, shampoo, etc.

Although Chen Wei seems to be using the things he left behind from the past, he feels a sense of separation in his heart towards the current Chen Wei.

For him to use these now, he really can't accept it in his heart.

Things that have not been used for a long time will feel like they are not yours even if they are originally yours.

Take out the clothes you brought with you from the bag, and there are also books.

Chen Wei brought all the junior high school textbooks at home.

There are also tutorial books that Chen Wei bought in the bookstore.

Zhou Chao was very interested in the tutorial books bought by Chen Wei. It seemed that no one in the class bought these.

Chen Wei glanced at Zhou Chao who was sitting on his bunk. The disadvantage of sleeping on the lower bunk was that someone could sit on it at any time.

Clean sheets will directly turn dark in one spot.

Of course, there is an advantage to sleeping on the lower bunk, that is, you can lie down on the bed at any time.

"Do you want to go to the city together?"

Zhou Chao: "Going to the city?"

"Well, I'm going to the city to buy some things."

There is no shortage of various canteens and restaurants near the school, but if you want to buy pillows, you have to go to the city.

Zhou Chao really wanted to go. After all, as a country boy, he was looking forward to going to the city.

But I thought it would be a long way to go to the city.

If you take a car, you'll be fine with two yuan for a round trip.

Two dollars can probably buy you a lot of delicious food.

"I won't go."

Chen Wei was not interested in knowing what Zhou Chao was thinking, and when he heard that he didn't want to go, he had no intention of forcing him to go.

After asking him if he had anything to buy, Chen Wei said: "Then you can read in school, I'll leave first."

At this time, Chen Wei remembered that Zhou Chao also entered the experimental class later, and was in the second class like Chen Wei.

I don’t know which high school I was admitted to in the end.

After all, Chen Wei did not take the high school entrance examination and left school in the spring of 2006.

He left the dormitory directly and wanted to go outside to take the bus.

Five or six hundred meters away from the school is Yingbin Avenue in the county, which is really well built.

It is a two-way six-lane road and is the highest-grade road in the entire county.

At least that's the case at this stage.

At this time, the county was already beginning to build the Second Ring Road.

Chen Wei had forgotten the specific completion time.

There are only two buses in the county, and there are no fixed stops. Anyway, they will stop as long as you wave.

If you think about it, just stop shouting.

In urban areas, you can only stop by station.
