Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

I was walking alone on the road with my schoolbag on my back, looking very lonely.

Because most of the other students were accompanied by their parents, some of the parents were riding bicycles and dragging their children.

The bicycles made clanging sounds, and the children sitting on the back seats hugged their father or mother's waist, talking and laughing.

I looked at them with envy.

"Student Liu Feng." A girl's voice came from behind me.

I turned around and saw a petite girl catching up with me in two steps.

"Hello, my name is Wang Fang, and I'm also in the first and second grade class. We'll be classmates from now on."

She came up to me and walked side by side.

I saw her wearing a floral dress. The fabric looked smooth and must be of the best quality.

Because most people of that era wore ordinary cotton clothes, and she also had a pink bow tied in her hair.

"Hello there!"

I replied with two words in a depressed tone. It was not surprising that she knew my name because Teacher Huang called me several times when she was helping the students register and distribute books.

"Which village are you from? Is it nearby? Why didn't your parents come?" she asked me.

"I'm from Huangjia Village. My family is busy and I'm busy."

I didn't want to mention family matters in front of anyone, so I replied perfunctorily.

"Oh, that's quite far. It will take about an hour to walk. I'm from Zhangjia Village. My home is just ahead. Why don't you stop by my house to rest for a while and drink some water before you go?"

Hearing her say this, I felt warm in my heart.

When I was in elementary school, I seldom played with my classmates. After school, I would go home immediately to help my grandma with chores. No classmate had ever invited me as enthusiastically as she did.

"No, thank you, classmate Wang Fang."

I rejected her kindness. After all, it didn't seem appropriate to go to her house when we just met.

I am not much taller than her, and I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye. She has a small oval face, small eyes, and a small mouth. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into slits, which is very cute.

"You're welcome. My house is just down the road and my family isn't home."

She is still inviting sincerely.

"Really, no need. Maybe next time. I'll go to your house next time."

I politely declined again.

She curled her lips, smiled at me, and then began to introduce her family to me.

She has two older sisters, one is in college and the other is in high school. Her father is a boat driver and rarely comes home. Now she and her mother are the only ones at home.

I smiled back at her, and we chatted all the way. Most of the time, she spoke to me in a silvery bell-like voice, and I only occasionally replied her with a word or two.

She has a very cheerful personality and didn't mind at all. After walking for about 10 minutes, she pointed to a two-story villa on the side of the road and said to me.

"Liu Feng, this is my home. Come visit me often!"

"Ok."

I looked at that small building. It should be newly built. Those who can afford to build a house in this era have relatively good family conditions.

However, looking at the way Wang Fang is dressed, you can tell that her family must be very wealthy.

Wang Fang waved at me, pushed open the door and went in, and I continued walking home.

Walking on the road, I was thinking, how nice it would be if I had a father, a mother, and a sister like Wang Fang!

I shook my head again. What am I thinking? Comparing yourself to others is frustrating. There is no need to compare everything. I am already very satisfied with having my grandma.

When I got home, my grandma saw me and came to me with big strides.

"Are you tired? How was school today?"

Grandma came over quickly and took the schoolbag off my shoulders.

In fact, there were not many books and they were not heavy. I didn’t want my grandma to carry it for me, but I couldn’t persuade her, and in the end she took the bag from me.

"Grandma, this schoolbag is not heavy."

I said embarrassedly.

"It's okay. You've had a hard time going to school. Grandma will help you carry it for a while. By the way, did you see the teacher? How was it?" Grandma asked again.

"Everything is good. The class teacher's surname is Huang, and the classmates are also very enthusiastic."

"That's good!" Grandma breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, grandma, you don't have to go to school tomorrow. You will have formal classes the day after tomorrow."

"Well, take a rest at home tomorrow and I'll make you something delicious."

Grandma smiled warmly.

So grandma also took a day off, and the next day, the two of us spent the whole day at home preparing food.

My grandma knew that I had to bring my own food to school, so she fried a lot of small fish for me.

"Feng'er, bring more of these fried fish to school tomorrow and share them with your classmates.

You are growing up now. Don’t be a loner like you were in primary school. You should make some close friends.”

My grandma said to me earnestly, maybe she felt that I was too lonely!

Although family planning has been implemented in this era, in rural areas, families with children my age usually have two or three children, and their homes are bustling with activity, but I feel lonely every day.

When I was young, Xiao Hei was with me, but when I went to school, it became even more inconvenient to see Xiao Hei.

On the morning of September 9st, my grandmother got up early to help me pack my schoolbag and eating utensils, because the first-year junior high school students also have to eat at school at noon and have to hand in 1 kilograms of rice.

Originally, I wanted to carry me there myself, but my grandma felt sorry for me and insisted on sending me to the school gate before going back.

After paying the rice in the cafeteria, I went into the classroom. Most of my classmates had already arrived, and everyone sat down at random.

The stools in junior high school are still long stools, but there are two more drawers without drawers under the long table.

School bags, vegetables in glass bottles, as well as bowls and chopsticks can all be stuffed in it.

When it was time for class, Teacher Huang came in and cleared his throat and said.

"Hello, students! As your class teacher, I feel extremely honored to spend this wonderful time with you."

“Welcome everyone to Sanxiang Middle School. I hope you can adapt better to this new environment, make more friends and learn more knowledge.”

"Today is the first day of your junior high school career. I hope you will study hard and achieve good results during the three years of junior high school.

Get out of the farm, use knowledge to change your destiny, and get out of the life of working in the fields. "

Teacher Huang gave an opening speech in stiff Mandarin, and many students tried to hold back their laughter.

Because everyone speaks dialect on a daily basis, and primary school teachers also teach in dialect.

I have only heard Mandarin on TV, and Mr. Huang's Mandarin is not very standard, which makes me feel awkward.

"Don't laugh, everyone. In the future, you will all speak Mandarin when you go to big cities. If you still speak the local dialect in a big city, how can others understand you? Look at the walls on both sides."

Teacher Huang was not angry either, and still maintained a half-smile on his face, which confirmed what Wang Erming and I had said, that he was smiling on the outside but not on the inside.

I also turned my head to look at the walls on both sides and took a picture of the big red words "Please speak Mandarin" written on the wall.

I noticed that several classmates were still covering their mouths and laughing.
