Chapter 123 Going to school (1)
As the sky slightly brightened, there were sounds of people moving around in the temporary residence.
Old lady Wang knocked on every wooden door. After half a year, Lin Zisu had gotten used to her wake-up service.
Everyone got up, dressed, and went to the toilet with towels to wash their faces and relieve themselves. There was a row of wash basins outside the toilet, with water pipes and faucets installed on them, so they could wash their faces, rinse their mouths, and go to the toilet in the morning and evening.
The bathhouse, laundry room and toilet are all built of cement. The country is willing to invest a lot in these public hardware facilities.
Lin Zisu took a walk around the city yesterday afternoon. Most of the buildings were original ancient buildings, with a small number of newly built concrete and wooden houses. The limited resources were used wisely.
The toilet had two rows of cubicles on the left and right, and under each row of cubicles was a cement ditch where people squatted to defecate. From time to time, water from outside would rush into the ditch, flushing the excrement out into the underground manure pit outside.
When Mrs. Wang went to the toilet for the first time, she watched the water rushing through the ditch and exclaimed in amazement: "It's clean, but it wastes too much water."
Lin Zisu: "There is no shortage of water here, and manure can also fertilize the land."
The temporary residence's broadcast sounded, calling everyone to assemble. The boys were in one team, the girls were in another team, and boys and girls under the age of 6 were in another team.
There were more people who had just finished washing and came to line up. There were so many people that they had to line up to wash. After waiting for half an hour, everyone was there. I set out on foot, turned left and walked forward, and saw two large wooden doors open.
There was a plaque hanging above the big wooden door with the four big characters "Qingshui School" written on it.
It took about 10 minutes to walk from the temporary residence to the school. We walked into the gate and saw a row of newly built two-story wooden houses inside.
Lin Youpeng couldn't help but say, "It's so spacious inside! There are so many houses!"
Lin Youcai: "There are so many people who need to study! Everyone, study hard! This is related to what kind of work you will do in the future and how much money you can make!"
Lin Youfu patted Lin Xianpeng on the shoulder, looked at the Lin family's children and said, "I never dared to think in my life that I could go to school without spending money. You kids should study hard!"
Lin Youcai: "Brother, you have to study hard too! It doesn't matter if you are an adult or a child!"
Lin Youfu: “…Got it.”
The temporary residence staff handed a notebook to the school staff and left.
The school staff picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Welcome everyone to Qingshui School. We will now divide you into classes. Those whose names are called will step out and stand in another line. There are 30 people in each class. Li Daniu, Tian Cuihua, Zhang Xiaoya, Mao Xiaotao..."
林家一大家子男女老少21口人再加上沈家9个人，正好30个人，4岁的沈安达和石家4岁的石涛去了6岁以下的孩童班上课。
The servants of the Shen family, Old Zhao and Awang, went to the class next door. They refused to go to school yesterday, so Old Shen talked to them for a long time. The gist of it was that since they came to the country, they should live and work according to the rules of the country.
Lin Zisu and her classmates were in the elementary class 29. She looked around while sitting on the wooden table and chair, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Some time ago, they were fleeing across the Yangtze River, and now the whole family was sitting in a classroom for class. What a magical scene.
Everyone sat down and chattered, the wooden door of the classroom opened, and a girl with short hair and simple Japanese-style clothes, pants, and cotton shoes walked in. The girl looked about 13 or 14 years old, Lin Zisu felt that she was about meters tall, thin and small, and looked like she had not grown up yet.
The girl walked up to the podium with a stern face and said to the audience, "Hello everyone, my name is Sun Xiaojuan, and I'm your Chinese teacher." She pointed to the small sign on the wooden door of the classroom and said, "This is the elementary class 29. Everyone remember this! There are many classes in the school, so don't go to the wrong classroom!"
Sun Xiaojuan looked at the round clock hanging on the wall and said, "There is a clock hanging on the wall, and the math teacher will teach you how to read the clock. It is now 7:9 in the morning, and we have class at 8:7. You can go to the school cafeteria to have breakfast first, and return to the classroom to sit down before 50:8. The class will start at 7:50. Tomorrow you can have breakfast and be seated in the classroom before :. Let's go have breakfast now, and we'll see you later. One more thing, you are not allowed to eat in the classroom, you can only eat in the cafeteria." After she said that, she took the lead to walk out of the classroom and head towards the cafeteria.
Everyone in the classroom looked confused and bewildered after hearing what was said.
Lin Caiyou stood up and said, "Everyone, go to the cafeteria and have breakfast. Class will start in half an hour. Let's go, let's go."
Old Lady Wang: "Does the school provide meals? Does breakfast cost money?"
Lin Youcai said speechlessly: "My God, we have already calculated all the expenses from the time we boarded the ship to the time we got here."
Old Lady Wang: "I...I know!"
"Grandma, let's go! We'll have to wait in a long line soon! If we can't have breakfast, we'll have to go to class for two hours on an empty stomach." Lin Zisu took Grandma Wang's arm and walked out of the classroom.
Lin Youcai pointed at the door and shouted, "Remember! Elementary Class 29. If you really can't remember, remember the two numbers 29! Don't get lost and miss the classroom later!"
There was no need to find the cafeteria. As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I saw a group of people walking to the same place. When the Lin and Shen families followed them, they found that they were familiar faces. They were all talking and laughing as they walked forward.
After a while, I saw two big red words "Canteen" standing on the roof of a large house.
Old Man Shen pointed at the two words and said, "Are those two words 'Canteen'? Why are they standing on the roof?"
Lin Xianwen smiled brightly and said, "Grandpa, standing on the roof, everyone can see it at a glance!"
Lin Zisu: "Food is the first necessity of the people! Go, go, go!"
The canteen was made of cement. We walked up a few steps and entered the canteen. It was spacious and airy, with rows of rectangular wooden tables and long wooden benches neatly arranged. Some people were already sitting there eating breakfast.
On the other side, there was a row of transparent glass, and on the tables inside were pots of steamed buns, steamed bread, cakes, porridge, noodles, dumplings...
Five long queues formed at the window, and Lin Zisu pulled Old Lady Wang over to queue.
Lin Youcai quickly called out, "No need for everyone to line up, just 2 or 3 people can line up and buy it."
"That's right! Dad, you go line up!" Lin Zisu looked at the menu and price list on the wall and began to read, "Ten vegetarian dumplings for 10 yuan, ten meat dumplings for 2 yuan, meat buns for 10 yuan each, steamed buns for 4 cents each, pancakes for 1 yuan each, meat pancakes for 5 yuan each, vegetarian noodles for 1 yuan a bowl, noodles with meat for 2 yuan a bowl..."
Lin Zisu was talking about the menu, and many people were listening with their ears perked up, memorizing the prices and thinking about what to buy later.
Sun Xiaojuan, who was standing in the queue, looked at her in surprise. This girl could read? She seemed to have seen her in the elementary class 29 just now.
