Every student who entered the school that day found that the school gate was different from usual.
The blue baffle that was originally used to repair the sewer system has been removed, and the plumbers completed the backfill this weekend and covered it with a cement slab. Everything has returned to its original state and has become part of the boulevard again.
Most people also saw the front of the cultural wall, which was covered tightly with woven cloth.
Is this done and protected with cloth, or is it not finished yet
If it is not finished, time will be tight, as it seems that the selection team of the "Provincial Campus Wall Cultural and Creative Works Selection" will be here on Tuesday.
This piece of red and blue woven cloth is so eye-catching that it looks like a scar sticker on the cultural wall.
So the voices like “Someone has nailed a piece of cloth on the cultural wall, what does it look like behind it…” and “The class at the head of the newspaper on the cultural wall hasn’t finished yet…” became the biggest questions on this Monday morning.
Time in the morning was very tight as there were many things to deal with on Monday. When the bell rang for the second class, the extremely familiar melody of "Athletes' March" sounded on the radio in every classroom before the flag-raising ceremony began.
All the students walked down one after another, came to the square, and lined up facing the national flagpole.
Facing that melody, the teaching building was bathed in the morning sunshine.
On the other side of the runway facing the playground with thousands of people, Yang Xia, who was wearing a ponytail, a blue and white school uniform, and white tennis shoes, was the flag-raiser. She held the flag with white gloves, and under the protection of a boy and a girl who were obviously academic masters, she came to the flagpole, tied the flag to a rope, lifted the corners, and swung it to the side in the light and shadow, and the flag fluttered.
As the whole school saluted and the national anthem played, she slowly pulled the rope and raised the national flag to the highest point.
Yang Xia tied the flag on his neck and walked back to his class, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Principal Zhou Tao made a weekly speech as usual, "According to the spirit of the Notice on Carrying out Cultural Creativity Activities on Campus Walls in the Province issued by the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department, the Provincial Party Committee Civilization Office, the Provincial Party Committee Education Working Committee, the Provincial Department of Education, the Provincial Youth League Committee, and the Provincial Women's Federation, guided by the central theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", in order to thoroughly implement the scientific development concept, adhere to being close to reality and life, and build the socialist core value system as the foundation, focus on improving the ideological and moral quality of middle school students, optimize the moral education environment, and enrich the connotation of moral education... Our school has carried out wall cultural creativity activities..."
"The selection team composed of the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Civilization Office will come to our school tomorrow, Tuesday, to select the students' works... The selected excellent works will be photographed and preserved, submitted to the Provincial Civilization Office, and will be displayed in columns in several major newspapers and magazines in the city..."
"Students, you have worked hard in the past month. I believe that your efforts and sweat, as well as your genius creativity, will be rewarded in the best way, and will remain in the development history of our school. After the flag-raising ceremony, the main leaders of the school will first conduct a round of acceptance of the wall cultural works and take photos... I hope that the cultural wall works of our school can win rankings and honors in the province!"
As the speech was coming to an end, rustling sounds had already begun in the class queue below.
Several class teachers gathered together and said to Li Zhan, "Li Zhan, that piece of cloth is the location of your class's wall... What, it's not finished yet... Hurry up and remove the cloth, the leader will be coming over soon!"
"Which student in your class did it? Our class completed it last week!"
Listening to the reminders from other classes, Li Zhan realized that he had not taken this kind of blackboard selection seriously, so he asked the monitor Liu Ming to arrange it. He had not visited the place before because there was a construction site and a building board blocking it. As a result, the construction site was completed this new week, and after a long time, it was covered with a piece of cloth. Originally, he did not care whether he could enter the selection. This was a provincial campus cultural wall selection. What a joke. When would it be their turn? So Li Zhan's attitude towards this matter was to let the monitor find someone to do it, as long as it was not excessive.
But the problem now is that this is too much!
Li Zhan was furious. "Liu Ming, what are you doing? Who can run a bulletin board? What's going on now?"
"It's Yu Xiao and Cheng Ran..." Liu Ming was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Seeing that Li Zhan's eyes were about to pop out, he immediately said, "I'll go find them right away!"
After the flag-raising ceremony, the leaders came down from the rostrum and started moving towards the cultural wall, followed by large groups of students.
Liu Ming rushed over from the other side, "Cheng Ran, Yu Xiao, you haven't finished the cultural wall yet!"
Although the flag-raising ceremony was over, the entire class had not yet dispersed. Liu Ming's actions at this time attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Xiaojia said to Yang Xia, "That piece of cloth is still there, what are Cheng Ran and the others doing..."
At this time, even the classmates felt that Cheng Ran was going a little too far.
You either didn't agree to it in the first place, or since you agreed to Liu Ming to make a blackboard newspaper, you should at least show some attitude. Even if you are dissatisfied with the head teacher, the cultural wall newspaper is something like that. Let's not talk about the selection team. Since it will be displayed to the whole school, it at least represents the honor of the class. I don't expect you to do it very well, but it's okay to be moderate, copy the format and it's similar... What's the meaning of covering it with a piece of cloth? It turns out that you haven't done it at all. You cover it up and pretend it's under repair. Do you want to fool people
Can this be fooled!
Just when the classmates in the class were looking at me with some dissatisfaction.
Cheng Ran responded, "It's done."
Liu Ming was delighted, but he felt something was wrong, "Why is there still a cloth?"
"It's painted with paint, please protect it..."
"Then why don't you go get the cloth? The principal is coming!"
…
When entering the school gate, the cultural wall of Class 3-4 was at the front, and the school leadership group led by Zhou Tao, Zhang Ming and three vice principals, and three grade directors, who came from the playground, began to come from this side in reverse order to visit the students' cultural wall works and take photos.
The students were rushing towards the cultural wall like a front tide. Heads of people were crowded around the periphery, comparing which class and which author's work was better.
They all have their own unique ideas. Some use materials similar to those used by cheerleaders to surround their own area, making the content more prominent.
Some used colored paper to piece together various cartoon patterns. Some used paper cutting to create a Chinese style. Some used paint to draw sea waves, a white ship, and flying white doves to make the picture more vivid.
The themes are also rich and varied, some are poetry pages, combined with the pure Chinese style of paper-cutting, showing the profound connotation of poetry. Principal Zhou Tao walked here and his eyes lit up, "Not bad, this is good!"
A voice came out from the students outside, "The author's name in the lower right corner is Sun Dongming from Class 2, Grade 9..."
"Sun Dongming, you have been praised..."
“I think it looks good too…”
The student named Sun Dongming was also among the crowd, tall and thin, but shy... People remembered that he played guitar in the art performance. Some girls immediately observed him privately.
Then we walked to the middle part, and a cultural wall with a Doraemon theme of "Happy Summer Vacation!" was the most popular, attracting the attention of the students who were watching and laughing. Someone asked who the author was.
Zhou Tao stopped in front of a blackboard with the words "Core Values" drawn on it in chalk, facing the camera lens.
Laughter could be heard from the crowd of students. "Qian Yumin from Class 7, Junior 2... This kid is really good at flattering people!"
Zhou Tao and his group of school leaders had walked two-thirds of the way. Liu Ming followed Cheng Ran and Yu Xiao to the front, and most of the students in their third and fourth grades classes also gathered here... Basically, every class subconsciously gathered in front of their own class bulletin board. The cultural wall, which was about a hundred meters long, was still quite spectacular with the crowd of onlookers at this time.
Because the top two corners of Cheng Ran's cloth were tied to nails and were very high, Liu Ming hurried to the guard room to move a chair over. The scene became a bit tense and funny. The school leaders were coming over, while they were still moving chairs and standing on tiptoe to remove the cloth.
This caused the principal Zhou Tao and his group of leaders to look at them a few more times.
About seven or eight meters away stood a group of people from their class watching the scene. Because of the special nature of their wall, more and more people came over to see what was behind the cloth.
Yang Xia and her best friends, as well as Yao Beibei and Liu Ying from the compound, walked along the roadside and looked around. At this time, they saw Cheng Ran standing on a stool, untying the knot in the upper right corner.
When Cheng Ran saw the piece of cloth, he thought of how Jiang Hongshao had hung it for him and her face was covered in dust and dirt.
In the early morning light, the countless tiny particles along the cultural wall seemed to be plated with gold. Cheng Ran was sitting on a chair, looking outside, and just happened to see Jiang Hongshao standing alone in the crowd, and he stuck out his tongue at her.
Playful... yet they are also connected in life and death.
Liu Ying found Jiang Hongshao, patted her gently, looked at Cheng Ran, and whispered, "Hongshao... There is something I must tell you about him..."
