First dawn

Next to the breakfast stand near the glass factory, there is a greasy paper sign with the word "early" written crookedly.Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao found a table by the side of the road and sat down.

"What is this?" Yi Xiao asked Qiao Sui, pointing to a golden half-moon-shaped snack on the plate.

Qiao Jue was a little surprised: "Rice dumplings, don't you have any in your city?"

Yi Xiao shook her head and poked the dim sum on the plate with her chopsticks, it really looked like a big dumpling.

"It's delicious, try it." Qiao Jue put his soy milk on the table, and the dog squatted on the chair next to him.

Yi Xiao picked up the thing called rice dumpling on the plate with chopsticks, and took a bite of the tip of the rice dumpling. It was very crispy and tasted like fried noodles. It was indeed delicious, but it didn't seem to have any special characteristics.Qiao Jue saw the confusion in his heart, and shook his head: "Don't bite the edge, you have to eat rice dumpling stuffing, that's the best."

Hearing this, Yi Xiao continued to take another bite, then squinted her eyes to feel the taste of rice dumplings. The crispy pastry shell was fried into a beautiful golden color, wrapped in rice dumpling filling with rich ingredients, and the paste-like filling was delicious and fragrant , the saltiness is just right, it is made of tofu and dried shrimp with soybean flour. The soft and smooth taste of tofu and the deliciousness of shrimp are perfectly blended in the marinating of soybean flour. When you eat it together with the crispy pasta, you can eat it in an instant Brings pleasure to the tip of the tongue.

"It tastes even better with this soy milk." Qiao Jue pushed another bowl of soy milk on the table to Yi Xiao.

After breakfast, it was time to go to school. Yi Xiao didn't have a bicycle right now, so Qiao Jue had no choice but to walk with Yi Xiao. The two of them and a dog walked across the Lianhe Bridge in the early morning and walked in the direction of No. [-] Middle School.

"You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" Qiao Jue asked suddenly.

"It's okay, it's much better than living in a small bungalow." Yi Xiao turned his head to look at Qiao Jue. The other side's face was bathed in the morning sun, and his eyelashes were dyed with a golden halo. Yi Xiao said, "For a while at night, It's noisy downstairs."

Qiao Jue smiled and said, "Downstairs is a casino, there's no way, it was settled yesterday."

"Casino?" Yi Xiao frowned, no wonder he heard a scream in the middle of the night, the north of the bridge was in chaos, Yi Xiao had heard about it, but never imagined that someone would really live in such an environment , but did not catch any unbearable breath.

"The gangster downstairs opened it. It seems that it only happened this year." Qiao Jue recalled, "I just got out of prison and started my old business."

Yi Xiao could tell that Qiao Jue was not a good-tempered person, but the problem of the casino downstairs was probably the helplessness of the entire Tongzilou. Yi Xiao suddenly understood why Qiao Jue liked to sleep on the table so much during the break.

Yi Xiao: "That day in the haunted house..."

"...It's me." Qiao Jue was a little embarrassed.

Both of them knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so they laughed together.

There was still a long way to go to No. [-] Middle School, so Qiao Jue gave Yi Xiao a brief overview of what had happened these days from that noon.

"So, that day, the person by the watermelon field was you." Yi Xiao understood now, "Damn, what kind of psychopath should I be to scare people by the watermelon field?"

Qiao Jue retorted: "You're not bad, okay? You wore sunglasses and rode a motorcycle on a country road at night, and you didn't look at your feet when you called. I didn't make a sound at the time. You're going to kick Grandma Guo Da." Kicked over."

Yi Xiao: "..."

"Brother Sui!" When passing by Xinya Road, someone called Qiao Sui's name from a distance.

Panting, Guo Da ran out of the store pushing his bicycle, and followed the two of them. Yi Xiao remembered that this was Qiao Jue's deskmate, and Qiao Jue and Guo Da seemed to have known each other before.

"Hey, why are you two walking together?" Guo Da gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun while expressing his doubts.

"I met on the road." Qiao Jue didn't bother to explain, and continued to walk forward.

Guo Da asked with the bun in his mouth, "Handsome guy, don't you live in the southern district? And where did this dog come from?"

"Eat yours, eat quickly, it's almost time for school, where are there so many problems, students on duty don't let them eat buns." Qiao Jue looked up inadvertently, and smiled at Yi Xiao, and they continued walking towards the school go.

Guo Da stuffed a steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, and his mind was full of doubts. It's only been one night, how did the two people who seemed to be at odds yesterday become friendly, and Yi Xiao, who seemed to become friendly?

At the gate of No. [-] Middle School, a majestic big dog was sitting by the door, attracting the attention of many students. The security uncle poked his head out from the window. Yi Xiao just left the dog in the security room and agreed to move out after school.

"Don't eat, it's too late." Qiao Jue checked the time on the phone and patted Guo Da's head.

The student on duty stared straight at Guo Da, Guo Da gave an indistinct hum, threw the unfinished steamed stuffed bun into the trash can, parked his bicycle, and the three of them ran towards the classroom with the morning reading bell ringing. and go.

Yi Xiao followed the two of them, listening to the class bell ringing in the distance. He hadn't cared about whether he would be late for class for a long time, but now he was in the small county town of Lianxing, rushing to study early with two people he had just met.

It seems that this city is not as bad as he imagined.

In the classroom of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School, Zheng Yu, the head teacher, roared particularly loudly: "What's going on with your second group, have you discussed it?"

Qiao Jue, Yi Xiao, and Guo Da leaned against the back door, looking at Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan who ran upstairs from the other direction, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Go in quickly, I told you to come early for morning reading!" Zheng Yu said angrily, "If you are late, stand at the door for me, and you, Baoyou, hurry in!"

A head poked out from the side of the stairwell, shrinking in fright from Zheng Yu's roar, Bao You ran into the classroom in a hurry.

The voices of morning reading in the class have already rang out.

The morning reading on Tuesday was Chinese. Qiao Jue held the Chinese book and listened to Guo Da, who was sitting on the left, read a sentence of the text over and over a dozen times.

"You are [-] years old, and you will not live with Qin Sai..."

"...I am [-] years old, and I will not live with Qin Sai..."

"You are [-] years old, and you will not live with Qin Sai."

"You are [-] years old, and you will not live with Qin Sai... Yan... Yan..."

Qiao Jue couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Guo Da under the desk: "What are you thinking?"

Guo Da groaned in pain, and everyone in the class looked back.

Yi Xiao, who witnessed the whole process in the back row, couldn't restrain the smile in his eyes.

Qiao Jue turned around after hearing the sound, and Yi Xiao regained his serious expression.

"Where's your book?" Qiao Jue asked. On the table in front of Yi Xiao, there was a dictionary spread out in all directions.

Yi Xiao: "Still at home."

"I heard that teacher, students who don't bring books in class have to be punished in the back row." Bao You came over and said.

Qiao Sui: "..." That's right, this person didn't even come home last night.

After the morning reading, it was time to hand in the homework in the class. The team leaders of each group began to collect yesterday's English homework, and each of them collected the post-it notes with the list of homework that had not been handed in to Qiao Sui.

"Hey, line up and take your time one by one." Guo Da yelled, helping Qiao Jue refuse all kinds of bribes and compile the list very dog-leggedly.

Bao You folded his "English Weekly" into small cubes, threw it on Guo Da's table, patted Guo Da on the shoulder, and said happily: "There is a small shop next to the cafeteria, why don't you go? I'm not full in the morning." .”

"Let's go, let's go together." Guo Da kicked the stool away, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Bao You towards the stairs.

"Brother Sui, I'll bring you something to eat." Guo Da shouted.

"No need." Qiao Jue walked to the teacher's office with her English homework in her arms.

The short break soon ended. Guo Da and Bao You stepped on the class bell and rushed into the classroom with bulging pockets, almost pushing the Chinese teacher Tao to the wall.

"Go back quickly." Teacher Tao's face darkened instantly.

Yi Xiao wandered into the classroom slowly through the back door, and found that there was an extra language document on the table.

"Where is it?" Yi Xiao kicked Qiao Jue's stool and asked behind him.

Qiao Jue didn't look back, Guo Da leaned over and said, "Brother Jue borrowed it for you from the class next door."

"Eat?" Bao You was a little scared of Yi Xiao, took out a bunch of snacks from his full pocket, and pushed them in Yi Xiao's direction.

"I'm [-] years old, I don't live with Qin Sai, this sentence is..." Tao Ruizhi spoke vigorously on the podium, Guo Da and Bao You chewed vigorously in the last two rows by the back door .

"Brother Sui, don't you really want to come?" Guo Da asked in a low voice.

Qiao Jue glanced at Guo Da and continued to take notes. Qiao Jue was in a liberal arts experimental class in his first year of high school, and his notes were neat and pleasing to the eye.Yi Xiao in the back row opened the book that Qiao Jue had borrowed. The newly released book was full of various graffiti. Li Bai's portrait was painted with a pair of huge bows on his head, and the style of his clothes was changed into a shaggy skirt. A tutu skirt, with small transparent wings spreading out behind her.Turning back, the painting style is even more exaggerated. The second year of high school has just started, and the new book has been painted into an old book.

Yi Xiao: "..." What the hell.

He turned over the title page of the Chinese book, on which was written the man's name "Tang Xueyi" in flamboyant characters.

"Guo Da, which one is it?" The Chinese teacher put down the book in his hand, and Guo Da, who had just stuffed a large piece of crispy noodles into his mouth, stood up blankly. Teacher Tao came over and asked, "Student, can you talk to me?" Do you want to talk about understanding the full text?"

"I..." Guo Da tried to open his mouth, and simply put his face across his mouth. Before he could finish his words, his saliva flowed down first, dripping on the opened page of the Chinese document.

Guo Da: "I..."

Teacher Tao: "..."

The air in the back row obviously smelled of crispy noodles and spicy noodles, Yi Xiao gloated, and Qiao Jue's expression was also very exciting.

Tao Ruizhi threw the book down, and said with a straight face, "A few people are eating snacks, so let me go to the back row for punishment."

Guo Da looked resentful, and Bao You also stood up disheveledly.Tao Ruizhi stared at the remaining two with suspicion.

"Teacher, I didn't eat." Qiao Jue's expression was innocent, and the notes in the book were neat and serious. He looked like a good student.

Tao Ruizhi nodded, let Qiao Jue go, and shifted his gaze to Yi Xiao in the back row.

"I don't have either. Teacher, look, all the snacks he gave me are here." Yi Xiao said righteously, "I refused all of them."

"What's the matter with your book, why are you drawing blindly?" Tao Ruizhi was dissatisfied, and immediately vented his anger, "The book is almost useless after a few lessons, are you here for class or for painting, you also stand up. "

Yi Xiao wanted to say that this book was not mine, but whether he said it or not, the results seemed to be the same. Qiao Jue in the front row lowered his head, as if he was reading the textbook seriously, but his shoulders shrugged slightly. Yi Xiao immediately realized that it was Qiao Jue who was there. laugh.

Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan snickered in the front row, while Guo Da and Bao You obediently stood in the last row amidst Tao Ruizhi's scolding, and the class roared with laughter.

"Copy this text twenty times." Tao Ruizhi said ruthlessly, Guo Da and Bao You's original smiling expressions completely changed.

"You copy it ten times." Tao Ruizhi glared at Yi Xiao who had nothing to do with him.

Yi Xiao: "..." He seems to be at a disadvantage. He was punished to stand for not bringing books. Now he is not only punished to stand, but also copied ten times as a punishment.

"2012 is indeed the end of my world." After Chinese class, Guo Da lay on the table and wailed.

Bao You also had a mournful face: "Brother Da, you have hurt me so much."

"Forget it, forget it, if you come here, you will be safe. If you are not courageous, you will learn from your brother and me." Guo Da was talking nonsense with Baoyou, and wrapped the three fountain pens together with scotch tape.

Qiao Jue just felt a little sleepy, lowered his head, and was about to lie down on the table again.

A hand stretched out from the open glass window, and a cup of Shuangpi Nai was placed on his desk. He looked up, and Yi Xiao was smiling at him by the window.
