Chapter 276 Move on!
The winter vacation is short and ends quickly. After finishing his homework, Fang Wei took Cai Ling Zhiyi home again to celebrate the Lantern Festival with his family. When they came back, school was about to start.
The new semester started on Sunday, February 8th. At around 2:00 ., the three of them went to their respective classes to register.
Except for Cai Ling who is still in Class 6, Fang Wei and Zhiyi have both moved to the top class, Fang Wei in Class 2 and Zhiyi in Class 3.
It was still the teaching building for the first year of high school, but the classrooms had changed. When Fang Wei walked past the door of Class 1, he felt a little uncomfortable and almost went in.
The head teacher of Class 1 is no longer Mr. Liang. Fang Wei took a look at the new head teacher at the door and he knew him. He was the former physics teacher and the original head teacher of Class 4.
"Teacher Li! Are you the head teacher of Class 1 now?"
In addition to having a good relationship with his classmates, Fang Wei also gets along very well with his teachers. Seeing them, he would greet them with a smile.
"Yes! Fang Wei is in Class 2, right?"
"Yes, Liu Bo is still in Class 1."
"Haha, it would be better if you were all in class one."
Teacher Li teaches physics. Like Teacher Liang, he is also an excellent teacher at the municipal level and is also in charge of the physics competition team.
Liu Bo is not only an excellent student, but also an ace player in physics competitions. I think he will feel more at home in Teacher Li's class.
After passing Class 1 and coming to Class 2, Fang Wei saw his new head teacher.
"Teacher Liang!"
After all, there are only two top science classes. When he saw that the head teacher of Class 1 was Teacher Li, it was not too surprising that Teacher Liang became Fang Wei's head teacher again.
Fang Wei was quite happy about this. Although Mr. Liang's teaching experience was not as good as Wen Susu's, after a semester of getting along with him, he knew that Mr. Liang was a pretty good teacher. He had become accustomed to his teaching style and did not need to adapt again. If nothing unexpected happened, Mr. Liang would be the one teaching him from now until the college entrance examination.
"Haha, the three of you are here to sign up together again?"
Teacher Liang asked with a smile and took out the registration form. He remembered that when they first enrolled in school, Fang Wei, Cailing and Zhiyi registered together. At that time, the two girls wanted to trick him into joining the same class. Time passed in a flash, and a semester passed. Early autumn turned into early spring, but the three of them still came together.
"Yes, Mr. Liang will take us to graduation, right?"
"It depends on your performance! If your grades fall too far behind, you may not be able to be placed in the key class!"
"Ah? The pressure in the top class is so great, there will be students eliminated?" Cai Ling and Zhiyi were surprised.
"It's not that the top class is stressful, it's that from now on, you will all be under a lot of pressure. After the division into subjects and classes, you won't be able to relax as before!"
Teacher Liang is right. The elimination of the last-place students in the top class has always been a system in No. 1 Middle School. Of course, there is a lot of flexibility. It is not a strict requirement that only the top 120 students in the grade can be in the top class. Only when your grades are far behind and your study attitude is not good, the school will ruthlessly eliminate you from the top class.
If I were to say what my biggest feeling is after the division of subjects and classes, it would probably be that from now on, I will no longer have two days off on weekends.
Classes have to be held as usual every Saturday, and the only time we have a two-day holiday is on the weekend after the monthly exam.
Not to mention the winter and summer vacations, you have to attend classes as usual. After entering the third year of high school, you don’t even have a single day off, with only a half-day break every week on Sunday afternoon.
The compression of the holiday naturally created a sense of oppression and tension in everyone's hearts. Everyone knew that from now on, there was only one goal left, and that was to get into a university of their choice.
In the early 2000s, the quality of college students was still very high, and everyone understood that it was not necessary to get into college to have a good future, but the possibility of having a good future after getting into college was undoubtedly greater.
Fang Wei had experienced all of this, so he knew it very well.
In fact, if the three years of high school are divided according to experience and learning progress, it is inaccurate to use the first, second and third years of high school. A more accurate division should be "before subject division", "after subject division" and "review stage".
Although it is only the second semester of the first year in high school, the boundary between the second and third years of high school is already very blurred. After all, without the long winter and summer vacations as intervals, the changes in each semester and each academic year are no longer so clear-cut. Perhaps by the time you realize that you are already in the third year of high school, you have probably already started experiencing the first and second mock exams.
It’s just that most students who are at this stage cannot feel this. Life is a huge process of hindsight, and it is difficult for people to judge the value of the present until it becomes a memory.
"Have you brought the copy of your household registration, registration fee, and winter vacation homework?"
"Brought it."
Fang Wei unzipped his schoolbag and handed the registration materials to Teacher Liang.
Teacher Liang took his winter vacation homework, just glanced at it symbolically, and then put it away in a cardboard box beside him.
Probably they will not review, check and correct the homework again. These winter and summer vacation homeworks are just a process. Whether to do it carelessly or seriously depends on the students' own consciousness. Although it may not sound good, it is true that what they have learned is their own, not the teacher's. It is the teacher's dereliction of duty not to assign homework, but if they do not complete the homework well, it is the students' own business.
While Teacher Liang was registering him, Fang Wei picked up the class roster beside him and took a look.
There are a total of sixty people in the class, forty boys and twenty girls. The roster is arranged according to class performance. Fang Wei is first and Zhao Yueting is third. In addition to the two of them, there are five other students who are in the same class with them after the class was divided.
"There were seven students in our original class."
"Yes, you and Yue Ting came early. Gao Zhihong and the others haven't come to register yet."
"Has Zhao Yueting signed up?"
"She came in the morning. After cleaning up the dormitory, she probably went shopping with her mother."
After the classes were reorganized, there were a lot of new classmates. Some of their names looked familiar, as I had often seen them on the honor roll. I didn’t expect that we were all in the same class now.
But no matter what, it still feels very cordial to see the names of familiar classmates on the roster.
Teacher Liang had already completed the registration procedures. He smiled and asked, "Fang Wei, are you interested in continuing to be the class monitor?"
Fang Wei also laughed when he heard this: "Teacher Liang has been appointed? No need to run for election?"
"Haha, you still have to run for election! The teacher hopes that you can participate in the election and continue to serve as class monitor."
"Mr. Liang is too confident in me! I'm not even sure I can be selected!"
"Will you still have day school this semester?"
"Yes, I am a day student."
"Well, okay then. You should also be self-disciplined when you are outside of school. The teacher still has high hopes for you."
Teacher Liang nodded and said, after all, Fang Wei's grades are obvious to all. If it were a student with poor grades who wanted to go to school as a day student, he would definitely have to say a few words.
"What about you two? Why don't you just sign up with me together?"
After Teacher Liang finished speaking, he looked at the two little girls standing on Fang Wei's left and right.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was a joke, but the two girls' eyes lit up when they heard it: "Teacher Liang, can I really sign up with you?"
"..."
A semester has passed! Why don't you give up? If you continue like this, I, the teacher, will really doubt your relationship!
"Just kidding, go back to your own class and sign up!"
"Uu——"
The two girls suddenly felt bored. It turned out that teachers with thin hair were not good people!
It’s not far away. After coming out of Class 2, you can reach Class 3 in two steps.
Class 3 is the top class for liberal arts, because there are relatively few people who choose liberal arts. Compared with the two top classes of science that select the top 120 students in the grade, Class 3 is a truly top class. There are also 60 students in the class, but it selects the top 60 students in the liberal arts grade. Although Class 4 is also called a top class, it selects the second-best students from 61st to 120th. The new head teacher is surnamed Nie, who was the head teacher of Class 8 before and also teaches Chinese.
Even though she had never taught Liu Zhiyi before, Teacher Nie knew her. After all, Liu Zhiyi was the top student in liberal arts, and her essay that received full marks in the final exam was marked by Teacher Nie.
This girl with excellent grades, good behavior and quiet personality is liked wherever she goes. When seeing Liu Zhiyi coming to register, Teacher Nie smiled warmly and treated her like a treasure.
"Ah? You want to go to school as a day student?"
"Uh-huh……"
"But Zhiyi, don't you live far away? Is it convenient for you to go to school as a day student? Do you live with relatives nearby?"
"Uh...hmmmm!"
Teacher Nie adjusted his glasses and looked at the three people suspiciously, but he didn't say anything. He just said earnestly:
"Okay, you can go to school as a day student, but now that you have been divided into different subjects, the workload is heavy. Whether you are in school or outside of school, you must focus on your studies. Otherwise, if your grades drop significantly, the teacher will not recommend that you go to school as a day student anymore."
"no, I can not!"
Liu Zhiyi didn't want to live in the school. If she really did, her grades would definitely decline, right?
After the division of classes and subjects, Liu Zhiyi was the happiest among the three, because not only did she become very close to Fang Wei, but she was still in the same class with Wang Yushan.
Yushan was ranked second in the liberal arts grade in the final exam, so she was naturally in Class 3. So, Yushan and Zhiyi had been in the same class the longest, three years in junior high school and another three years in high school. It has to be said that this was a rare fate.
After successfully registering, the three of them left school together and went out to watch a movie.
Don't ask why Cailing doesn't need to register, because she doesn't need to be assigned to a different class or dormitory, and she doesn't need to register now. She can just go back to class and report to the head teacher after school starts as usual. She came here just to join in the fun.
“Why is my experience completely different from yours!”
"That's great, too. From now on, Zhiyi and I will wait for you on the first floor after class."
"Ahhh, not good at all!"
After watching the movie, I went to buy some vegetables, then called Asheng, Peipei, Yushan and others, asking them to come to my house for dinner in the evening.
The trio's little nest has become the gathering base for the Baitan team. If no one goes home on holidays like this, Fang Wei Cailing will invite a few people to come over to play. Back-to-school day gatherings like this are set to become a tradition that will be preserved forever.
When young boys and girls come to our house for a party, they don’t buy fruits or gifts like the adults do. Instead, they buy some snacks and drinks such as spicy noodles, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. and bring them upstairs to eat together.
The Beginning of Spring and the Lantern Festival have passed, but the spring chill has not yet subsided. For so many people, having hotpot together is the best choice.
Ah Sheng's No. 2 Middle School also started registration today, but they had their holiday three days earlier than No. 1 Middle School, so they had a little more holiday. Except for the few days during the Chinese New Year, Ah Sheng worked with Yu Shan in her uncle's factory during the winter vacation. The money they saved from working during the winter and summer vacations was used to pay for their daily "betrayal of the organization and secret play together."
As to whether it was 'secretly going out to play together' or 'secretly going on a date', only Asheng and Yushan themselves knew.
He is so secretive that he won’t even tell his friends.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ah Sheng and Yu Shan are definitely in love. What kind of good people wouldn’t be in love and stay together every day during the holidays?
Fang Wei Cailing understood: "..."
Compared to the simplicity and clarity of Asheng and Yushan, the relationship between Fang Wei, Cailing and Zhiyi is much more complicated, even Yushan and Peipei can't figure it out.
Yushan secretly asked Ah Sheng, "You are most familiar with the squad leader and the others. What is going on with the three of them now?"
Ah Sheng was heartbroken, and said with a look of grievance and wanting to be hugged: "How would I know about them! I have been isolated for a long time! Yushan, you are the one who cares about me!"
Wang Yushan kicked him and said, "Get lost! You're almost meters tall and you still need someone to comfort you?"
Ah Sheng scratched his head: "But, I think, Cai Ling and Zhi Yi definitely like Ah Wei, 100%!"
'Who does the monitor like?'
'Oh, he likes them all.'
"How can you be so greedy! ! "
"Then who do you think Ah Wei should like?"
"Of course... Uh... Why are you asking me? Who can choose?"
'That's it. Even though you're a girl, you don't know who Wei should like. So it's reasonable for Wei to like both, right?'
"…Why do you look so envious when you talk about these things?"
'I didn't! How dare I! I was accusing him harshly!'
"Fang Yuansheng, I warn you, if you dare to learn, you will die!"
"Hiss! Ah! The flesh is falling off! The flesh is about to be twisted off!"
During the party, they definitely called Wen Susu. They heard that Teacher Wen was going to the Central Academy of Fine Arts for further studies in March. Asheng, Yushan and Pepei were all very surprised. They never thought that their teacher would return to campus as a student one day.
"Teacher Wen! Then you will definitely be a painter after completing your further studies! We were students of painters!"
"Hahaha, it's not that easy! By the way, Pepe, I received the painting you sent me last time. It's so good!"
"Hehe, I just want to be as good at drawing as Mr. Wen~!"
After dinner, while everyone was gathered together, Fang Wei took out his camera to take a group photo of everyone at the small gathering before school started. The value of a photo is like memories, which will only gradually emerge after the passage of time.
Today is the first day of school registration, and we will start evening self-study as usual.
Cai Ling didn't have to go to training tonight, so after everyone had dinner together, she first sent Asheng, a renegade from No. 2 Middle School, to take the bus, and the others walked to school together.
There were changes in their respective classes. Except for Cailing and Peipei, Zhiyi and Yushan also subconsciously walked towards the stairs. Even Fang Wei almost walked into Class 1 classroom out of habit.
"Hahaha! You're all confused! Pepe and I are the smartest!"
"You have no right to say this if you haven't changed shifts!"
"Hmph! I won't go wrong even if I change shifts! Bye~!"
Cailing and Peipei went upstairs together. Fang Wei, Zhiyi and Yushan continued walking along the corridor of Class 1 and accompanied them to the front door of Class 2. Fang Wei then turned around and walked into the classroom, while Zhiyi and Yushan went in through the back door of Class 3.
I often pass by Class 2's classroom when I go to the bathroom on weekdays. Being in this familiar classroom, looking at new classmates around me who look both familiar and unfamiliar, Fang Wei feels quite strange.
Although he didn't know most of his classmates yet, most of them knew him. After all, he was the tough guy who had been at the top of the honor roll for a whole semester!
Not only is his name on the honor roll, but there is also his photo!
Being in the same class with such a genius, the other top students couldn't help but look at Fang Wei a few more times out of curiosity.
If you change to a new class, you will definitely need a new seat.
It was still early and there were many empty seats, so Fang Wei habitually found an empty table at the back of the classroom and sat down.
A graceful figure flashed past the back door, the chair beside her was pulled open, and the girl sat down in the empty seat next to him.
"Hey, Happy New Year Fang Wei!"
"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao!"
