No.70 days

On June 6th, it rained heavily, and the almanac said "everything is not suitable", but no one cared.

After the college entrance examination, Yang Shuyi worked three jobs: tutoring a little boy on Tuesdays and Thursdays, taking math classes in the elementary school tutoring class on weekends, and working as a cashier in the restaurant from Monday to Friday night.

The 24th was Wednesday, and Yang Shuyi was fine for the whole day.After waking up from a long nap, Shao Wu went to find Yang Shuyi, the two of them strolled on the street for a while, and then it began to rain.They walked into the roadside dessert shop to shelter from the rain, and sat down by the way. In 2009, all kinds of milk tea were not yet popular. They each ordered a cone of ice cream and looked at the sidewalk outside the window.In the past, there was always something to talk about, Longlong, classmates, games... but this day the two of them were exceptionally silent.

After the ice cream was finished, the rain continued, and the air conditioner in the dessert shop was turned on too high, Shao Wu shivered a little.

"It's 05:30," Yang Shuyi asked Shao Wu, "Do you go to the Internet cafe to check, or go home?"

"Going home...my mom borrowed a colleague's laptop."

"It's almost time," Yang Shuyi said, "Let's go."

Shao Wu nodded and got up.

In fact, the computer is not borrowed, but bought, Lenovo ultra-thin notebook, bought home yesterday.My mother said, it seems that I can get a discount on buying a computer with the admission notice, and my father said, anyway, I will buy it sooner or later, and the few hundred dollars are not bad—isn’t it going to be used soon?

Yes, at 6:24 on June 18th, it is the day when the college entrance examination scores are awarded.

At 17:52, Shao Wu arrived home, changed his shoes, washed his hands, and sat at his desk.

After a few minutes, he will be able to see his score. He was quite calm during the college entrance examination, and he was quite calm after the exam, but now he can't calm down no matter what.Shao Wu thought to himself, can he get to 600?Can it reach the 10-point admission line for Beijing Foreign Studies University?No—you didn’t paint the wrong answer sheet and didn’t notice it, did you?It’s really not impossible. In my impression, the options for English multiple-choice questions are a bit strange. It seems that there are many consecutive "B" and "C".

That would be too bad, probably not even a line.

Parents also came over, and the family of three leaned their shoulders against their shoulders, facing the shiny white screen, all of them held their breath.

Shao Wu thought again, Yang Shuyi must be staring at the screen waiting for the last few minutes in the Internet cafe now.What was he thinking about?How much will he score?In case he also mispainted the answer sheet...

It started to rain again outside the window, and it was raining quickly. The raindrops hit the glass of Shaowu's house, leaving dense water marks.Summer in Yongchuan always rains in the morning and evening.

At 18:[-], Shao Wu entered his examination admission ticket number, name, and verification code, and then hit the "Enter" key with a crisp sound.

There are too many people checking scores, and the webpage is stuck.The small blue circle next to the mouse turns and turns, but the webpage just doesn't move.

"What a mess," Dad frowned, "so slow."

Mom pushed him: "Oh, good things take time, good things take time..."

At 18:08, the webpage still did not move, and Shao Wu's cell phone rang.

On Yang Shuyi's side was the overwhelming sound of rain, he said, "I passed 560 in the exam."

"560 six?" Shao Wu stared at the computer screen, stunned for a moment, "It's good...it's really good."

"What about you?"

"I, I haven't found out yet—"

A bright purple lightning flashed outside the window, and the lights in the room seemed to flicker. Shao Wu fixed his eyes and saw three bold, black numbers pop up on the screen:

631

He shook the mouse and tapped the left button again, yes, it was found.The webpage displayed his name, his gender, his ID number, his place of origin, and his college entrance examination scores—119 in Chinese, 146 in mathematics, 141 in English, 225 in comprehensive essays, and a total score of 631.

"I found out." For a moment, Shao Wu felt that it didn't sound like his own voice, but he could feel his Adam's apple vibrating, "630 one."

"How much is 600?" Yang Shuyi asked loudly as the rain was pouring.

"Six hundred—" Another bolt of lightning struck down, and a few seconds later, with a loud bang, the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.power cut.

"630 one." Shao Wu said.

"...so tall," Yang Shuyi said with a smile, "Congratulations, you can go to Beijing."

When Shao Wu hung up the phone, his mother was already covering her mouth and crying. She sobbed a few times and hugged Shao Wu: "Yaoer, you are so amazing, you are my mother's pride, Yaoer." Respond—as for being so excited?He himself hadn't cried yet.

In contrast, Dad was much calmer, he said "Not bad", then took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Old Meng, it's me... My son's score has been found out, please help me ask... ...630 one, yes, liberal arts...haha, we are happy together..." After hanging up the phone, he was silent for two seconds, then seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and put his arms around the mother and son: "Very good, Yaoer, you did very well in the exam. good."

Parents hugged her too tightly, the electricity was cut off and there was no air conditioner. In the dark, Shao Wu was not excited, but felt his eyes were dry and stuffy.He didn't know if he was frightened, 631, he got such a high score?

The next day, after the rain, the sky cleared, and the community also called.The "Old Meng" who works in the Education Bureau sent good news: Shao Wu passed the No.3 Yongchuan No. 9 Middle School, No.85 in Yongchuan Liberal Arts, and scored [-] points above the first line. This score cannot be reported to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but it is enough Report to the National People's Congress, and Fudan University can also rush.

My parents were in ecstasy again, my cousin called and said with a laugh: "What I said, the National People's Congress is awesome. They don't let us Shaowu participate in the self-enrollment. If we don't let us, we won't let us. I can pass the exam too!" And other relatives have already arranged for a banquet, and it must be a big show, and our Shaowu is the most promising.

Shao Wu took his father's mobile phone and dialed the number of "Lao Meng".

"Uncle Meng, I'm Shaowu... I'm sorry to trouble you... Thank you... Well, I want to help my classmate ask, liberal arts 560, which school in Chongqing can I apply for?"

"Southwest University? Well...Southwestern Finance, okay, okay..."

Dad went to work beaming, and mom invited two friends to arrange a banquet together.The congratulatory calls came one after another, and Shao Wu tirelessly said to the phone, thank you, thank you, I... I didn't expect to be able to pass the exam so high, thank you.

It didn't stop until noon.Shao Wu turned on the computer, and there was a series of messages on QQ, sent by his classmates, everyone knew Shao Wu's score, asked him to treat him, and asked him to go out to play.

However, there was no news of Yang Shuyi.After that phone call last night, Yang Shuyi never contacted Shao Wu again.At this time, Yang Shuyi is working as a tutor, right?The little boy's tutoring was arranged at noon, and he remembered that Yang Shuyi had complained to him with a smile that he was very hungry when he was giving a lecture at noon.

Shao Wu sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and hugged his knees with his arms.In two months they will start college.Shao Wu thought, Yang Shuyi is like this, his life is too busy, busy with taking care of his family, busy with part-time job, busy - busy with things that Shao Wu can't think of.If one of them goes to Beijing and the other stays in Chongqing, will they not even have the opportunity to make phone calls in the future?In the end, he didn't know what Yang Shuyi was doing, and Yang Shuyi didn't even care about what he was doing.They were very far away, and finally, like all busy old classmates, they lost each other's news.

Shao Wu double-clicked the browser and entered a line of words in the search box:

Chongqing University English Major Introduction

When typing on the keyboard, his fingers trembled, visibly trembling - even worse than when checking the score last night, Shao Wu seemed not to know what he was doing, but also seemed to know what he was doing clearly, so clearly, it couldn't be more clear Clear.

From last night to now, to this moment, the moment he pressed the enter key, he finally heard the voice in his body, it was his own voice, he was sure.

The voice said that he didn't want to leave Yang Shuyi.
