A foreign city, dear you

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

“Hiss—hiss—”

……

Throughout the summer vacation, the entire Jiayuyuan building was filled with all kinds of renovation noises, such as breaking walls, prying the ground, drilling and cutting...

Although Anbao Middle School is not the best middle school in Yancheng City, it is also one of the top middle schools in Yancheng City. Therefore, parents will have high hopes for their children to be admitted to Anbao Middle School and will give their greatest support in terms of external conditions.

One of the supports is to accompany your child in studying.

You need a house to accompany your child to study.

Some people buy houses not only for their own use, but also for appreciation as school district housing;

Some people rent a house and leave after accompanying their children for three years, like Ye Lian and others.

Therefore, as one of the houses closest to Offshore Bao Middle School, Jiayuyuan has a frequent turnover of houses.

As you move houses from time to time, renovation is inevitable.

Therefore, there are people renovating Jiayuyuan all year round, and even more so during the summer vacation.

Look, the summer vacation is almost over and some people are still renovating the place. Hopefully it will be finished soon.

Cao Lanshan arranged his own time throughout the summer vacation.

Sometimes he would ask his classmates to ride bicycles together, and they would travel more than ten or even dozens of kilometers.

Sometimes I make origami at home.

Cao Lanshan's interests and hobbies have changed again. He doesn't play roller coasters and difficult puzzles much anymore. Instead, he plays origami.

His origami is very complicated. He does not need scissors or other tools. From start to finish, he can fold out some lifelike shapes, such as roses, maple leaves, lizards, etc., with just his hands. They are vivid and lifelike.

Ye Lian is often amazed by the things Cao Lanshan folds, but she can't understand how Cao Lanshan folds them. It is said that this origami method requires strong mathematical knowledge.

During this summer vacation, Cao Lanshan also did another thing, which was to attend cram school.

Because he had never attended cram school before high school, one day he suddenly wondered what it was like with so many people attending cram schools.

Driven by curiosity, he enrolled in the famous Xuersi cram school with the support of Ye Lian.

The tuition fee is much cheaper than other students.

Because the teacher at Xuersi asked for Cao Lanshan's transcript and said that based on Cao Lanshan's grades, he could give him a 50% discount.

In this way, Cao Lanshan went to the cram school for a while.

But only for a while.

After a period of time, Cao Lanshan did not choose to renew his subscription. He was still not used to the learning method of the cram school. He still preferred his own learning method and pace.

So, during the summer vacation, the place Cao Lanshan spent most of his time was the library.

The library in the central area is large, with a great environment and a good learning atmosphere.

If you want to study there, you have to line up early, otherwise it will be hard to get a seat. Every morning, the long queue in front of the library shows how motivated and how much people in Yancheng love to study.

Cao Lanshan can spend a whole day in the library, where he can study, read and look up information.

Moreover, there is a garden outside the library with different flowers blooming throughout the year. If you feel bored in the library, you can take a walk in the garden.

The fulfilling days always pass quickly, and the summer vacation was over without us noticing.

************************

September 1st is the day when schools start.

Cao Lanshan officially entered the second year of high school.

Whether he can enter the top class will be revealed in the end.

Early in the morning, Cao Lanshan went to school.

The former Class 5(5) of Senior High School became Class 5() of Senior High School, and Cao Lanshan still went to Class () of Senior High School.

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqin accompanied Cao Lanshan to the east gate and watched Cao Lanshan enter the campus.

"I wonder if there will be a notice today to transfer Cao Lanshan to the elite class?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqin.

"It should." But Cao Xueqin's tone was uncertain.

"I'm a little worried that the school leaders have forgotten about this."

"No. The top class is the focus of school leaders and they will not forget it."

*

Ye Lian didn't receive any news all morning.

At noon, Cao Lanshan went home for lunch and said that he had not received any notice yet.

Ye Lian was a little worried that the school leaders had forgotten about this matter, so she told Cao Lanshan that if she hadn't received any notification in the afternoon, she would go find Vice Principal Chen.

At around 5: p.m., a message appeared in the Senior () class group:

*

The top 30 in both mid-term and final exams:

Class 1 XXX (midterm score 7, final score 11)

Cao Lanshan, Class 5 (6th in mid-term, 7th in final)

Class 12 XXX (midterm score 13, final score 26)

According to school regulations, the above three students will be enrolled in the top science class starting from next semester. Please ask the relevant class teachers to announce this.

Teaching Department, Senior Grade Group

June 6, 2016

The notice finally arrived.

Judging from the date, it turns out that this notice was written a long time ago, but was only announced today.

Cao Lanshan finally achieved his wish and entered the top class, and the matter was settled.

Ye Lian was happy and forwarded the news to Cao Xueqin immediately.

Cao Xueqian was naturally happy and replied, "I said the school would never forget. Are you relieved now?"

Ye Lian smiled back.

*

Of course Cao Lanshan was also notified.

At this moment, he was packing up his things as he was going to move to another location.

He was surrounded by a group of classmates.

"Boss Shan, are you really leaving us?" a classmate asked, reluctantly.

Cao Lanshan smiled: "It's just a change of classrooms. You can come to see me anytime. I will come back to see you too."

Cao Lanshan himself couldn't tell when the students in Class 5 started calling him "Shan Boss". The students said that he had the final say in class matters, and he also liked to cross his arms over his chest, so they gave him this nickname.

Cao Lanshan had no choice but to accept this nickname.

"Boss Shan, who can we turn to for help with difficult questions after you leave?" someone else asked.

"That's right." Several people echoed.

"You can still come to Class 21 to see me," said Cao Xueqin.

The Class 21 that Cao Lanshan mentioned is the top class.

Some students also asked worriedly: "If you leave, who will help us buy things and charge our batteries?"

Most of the students in the class live in the dormitory, but Cao Lanshan is a day student, so when the students need to buy something, they go to Cao Lanshan.

It was also inconvenient to charge in the school dormitory, so many classmates gave their power banks to Cao Lanshan to charge, and Cao Lanshan sometimes had to take a bag with a bunch of power banks to charge at home. Ye Lian bought a few more power strips and joked that her home was a charging station.

Cao Lanshan smiled: "You can still come to me to buy things and recharge your batteries."

The classmates are reluctant to part with Cao Lanshan, not only because Cao Lanshan is a good student, but also because Cao Lanshan is willing to help others. If they have any difficulties in learning, they can go to Cao Lanshan without thinking, and Cao Lanshan will tell them everything he knows and help them solve their problems enthusiastically and clearly.

Now that Cao Lanshan has left, there is no place to ask questions. Those with good grades may not be willing to help you, and those who are willing to help you are often of the same level, and no one can help anyone.

Of course, Cao Lanshan also couldn't bear to leave his classmates in Class 5. After a semester of getting along with them, he had developed a deep friendship with them.

But he has his goals and plans, and he won't change them easily.

What Cao Lanshan felt was even more difficult was saying goodbye to Teacher Peng.

Teacher Peng is a good teacher. She really likes Cao Lanshan. She gives Cao Lanshan a lot of love and trust, and gives him many opportunities to exercise and grow.

Cao Xueqin felt a little sorry for Teacher Peng for leaving.

After packing up his things, Cao Lanshan was about to go to the office to find Teacher Peng, but unexpectedly Teacher Peng came in.

Teacher Peng did not seem to feel lost or sad about losing a favorite student. Instead, he smiled and congratulated Cao Lanshan, telling him not to forget Class 5 and to come and play there anytime.

Cao Lanshan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely not forget Class 5."

When Cao Lanshan saw Teacher Peng’s smile and indifference, he felt relieved. He laughed at himself and said that he was overthinking and taking himself too seriously.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Peng and his classmates, Cao Lanshan left Class 5 and walked towards Class 21, followed by a few good classmates.

Class 5 is on the third floor, and Class 21 is on the fifth floor.

They walked along the long corridor, climbed the stairs to the fifth floor, then turned right and walked to the end of the corridor.

When they were about to reach Class 21, the classmates who had accompanied them stopped moving forward. They watched Cao Lanshan walk forward, then waved a few times and walked back.

Perhaps to them, the top class is an existence that people look up to, which makes them inexplicably feel timid.
