Chapter 229 Class Begins
After having breakfast at home, everyone went out. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao were going to school, and Aunt Lin and the others were preparing to go back to the coal mine.
The few of them said goodbye at the intersection. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao rode their bicycles side by side to school. It happened to be rush hour, so there were still quite a few pedestrians on the road.
Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao didn't ride very fast, and it took them more than half an hour to reach the school gate.
When they entered the school again, they were already familiar with the route. The two of them had separated, each entering the school gate, parking the car, and then going into the classroom.
Yao Ling still sat in the same seat as yesterday. She arrived earlier than Jiang Yanqing and was sitting in her seat, waving at Jiang Yanqing.
Jiang Yanqing sat down and greeted Yao Ling, "Lingling, why are you here so early?"
"Dandan, you're up early too. Have you had breakfast?"
Yao Ling rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's because I have this showy little bastard at home who gets up early in the morning and says he wants to go to school for morning reading, which prevents me from sleeping in."
Jiang Yanqing actually had some guesses. Yao Zhi, who had conflicts with her before, was probably from the same family as Yao Ling, and the relationship between the two was not good.
Zhou Dandan also nodded and responded, "There's breakfast in the cafeteria. I ate before coming here."
After they chatted for a while, Teacher Wu came over. He had changed into a shirt and trousers today, looking quite formal. He was still holding a folder in his hand.
He walked up to the podium, cleared his throat, and said, "School officially starts today. First, please adjust the seats. Everyone go to the corridor and come in according to your ranking to choose a seat."
The students groaned in agreement. They had finally gotten familiar with the students sitting in front and behind them, but now they had to change seats again.
They walked into the corridor one after another. Teacher Wu stood at the door and called out the names, "Jiang Yanqing." Jiang Yanqing walked over from behind and entered the classroom.
After taking a quick look at the door, Jiang Yanqing chose a seat in the middle of the second-to-last row. This place had a good view of the blackboard and did not require the teacher to stare at her.
Teacher Wu looked at Jiang Yanqing strangely again, but didn't say anything. He wondered in his heart, this provincial top student doesn't seem to like studying very much?
Normally speaking, shouldn't top students like to sit in the front row?
Next, Li Jiaojiao came in to choose a seat. Seeing that Jiang Yanqing had chosen a seat so far back, she sneered and sat in the first row in the middle.
Jiang Yanqing really declined that position, and Qing could only expect to eat chalk dust every day.
Yao Ling came in when almost half of the people had arrived and sat next to Jiang Yanqing.
Zhou Dandan came in before her and sat in front of Jiang Yanqing.
After the last student sat down in the far corner, Teacher Wu walked back up to the podium and tapped the platform with a piece of chalk. "Everyone has chosen their seats. Please note that you cannot change seats privately. From now on, you can choose a new seat once a month based on your exam ranking."
There were scattered responses in the classroom, "I understand..."
Some people are definitely unhappy, but some people are very happy, such as Jiang Yanqing and Yao Ling. Jiang Yanqing was chosen and she is very satisfied with her position.
What makes Yao Ling happy is that she doesn’t have to be separated from her friends, as her two good friends are always by her side.
After the seats were assigned, it was time to get the new books. Teacher Wu assigned eight strong boys to get them, and the girls just had to sit and wait.
There are no classes in the first year of high school, so Chinese, math, English, chemistry, physics, history, geography, and politics will all be given books, as well as elective courses such as music books.
I only attended one class in the morning, which was Mr. Wu’s Chinese class. The first class didn’t cover any specific content, I just previewed it.
At noon, we go to the school cafeteria to eat. Most of the high school students are boarders, so they basically eat three meals a day at school.
The tuition and miscellaneous fees are six dollars and fifty cents a year. You have to bring your own food to cover your food expenses. There are various dishes in the cafeteria, and you have to use your food coupons to get them.
There are two types of food tickets: one is a vegetarian food ticket that costs ten cents, and the other is a meat ticket that costs twenty cents. You have to take the money to the window of the cafeteria to buy one dish.
Breakfast was porridge and steamed buns, which I had to exchange after buying the tickets.
Jiang Yanqing bought three yuan worth of food tickets, ten each for meat and vegetable dishes. This was a subsidy from the school for her food expenses. In addition, she didn't have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, and she didn't have to bring her own food.
After the final exams of each semester, there is a scholarship. Jiang Yanqing feels that others go to school to spend money, but she goes to school to earn money.
Yao Ling was not short of money, but he didn't know whether he would like the food in the cafeteria. If he didn't like it, he could bring his own food, so he bought a ticket for three yuan.
Zhou Dandan came here by herself to exchange the ticket in the morning, and no one knew how much the ticket cost.
The three of them went together with their lunch boxes to get their meals, and then went to get some vegetables. Jiang Yanqing got one meat dish and one vegetable dish. The vegetable dish was stir-fried bean sprouts, and the meat dish was stewed chicken with potatoes. There were only two pieces of chicken, and most of it was potatoes.
