looking back inadvertently

On the eve of the National Day, the grade held the first monthly exam of this semester, and the teachers of each subject approved the results before the holiday.

The scoring system of the monthly exam is different from that of the college entrance examination. The full score of each subject is 5 points. Liang He's total score this time is ranked No.90 in the class.Although the level of their school's liberal arts class is relatively average, and it is not something to be proud of being in the top few exams, he is very satisfied, especially in the whole class, only two people are above 98 in mathematics, one is Cao Lei, 91, and the other is him. [-].

Of course, Liang He's contentment doesn't mean the head teacher is happy.During the pre-holiday class meeting, Luo Mingyu spared no effort to do the ideological work of changing the soup but not the medicine.

"The fourth high school's liberal arts ranking is not good in the city, not to mention that you will face competitors from the whole province in the college entrance examination. Last year, there were only two classes in our school's liberal arts, and only a dozen people passed the first line. That is to say Getting into the top ten in the class - you may not be able to go to a first-class school! Not to mention 211, 985... I say this not to hit you, but to hope that everyone will recognize the reality and not be arrogant or impetuous. If you are not complacent, if you have not achieved good results for the time being, you must make persistent efforts!"

Her voice was louder and fuller than ever.Liang He could even hear the echoes from the four walls, making his ears buzzing.It's just that he didn't have much real sense of these exciting contents, as if he was listening to people talking about things that had nothing to do with him.The last one is still the second one, and 985 is still an ordinary school... He thinks there is no essential difference.

Kindergartens envy elementary school students who can read and write. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to go to junior high school. After entering junior high school, I yearned for high school.He didn't intend to continue to look forward to it, nothing would be better than expected, it would be better to accept fate An Ansheng.

"This time, I want to remind some students to pay attention to the balanced development of all subjects," Luo Mingyu continued, "My class representative, Shen Zhe, also scored very well in Chinese this time, the highest score in our class, but mathematics and English It needs to be strengthened more; Xu Wenshan is also the same, Chinese is second only to Shen Zhe, and has been held back by other subjects, we will try our best to eliminate the shortcomings..."

Shen Zhe and Xu Wenshan are good at Chinese, and Liang He already knew that they were the two who were praised by Luo Mingyu as model essays in the two composition classes this month.It's a pity that Chinese is not as good as other subjects, and the scores of good and bad are not obvious, so Liang He's Chinese is weak, and he simply let it go, and didn't make up for it deliberately, but Shen Zhe's mathematics and English are weak, both Subjects that are easy to distance are at a disadvantage.

Luo Mingyu only announced the list of the top ten students with a total score, without Shen Zhe, he was outside the top ten.

Luo Mingyu's long speech came to an end, and the general cleaning was announced.The whole class is cleaned once a month, and today is before the festival. The school has very strict requirements. Except for the regular areas such as the blackboard on the ground, windows, tables and chairs must be wiped clean.After Teacher Luo arranged the division of labor for each group, he asked Shen Zhe and a few others to rearrange the blackboard newspapers in the back row of the classroom.

Liang He stood on the last row of chairs and cleaned the windows. The classroom was full of noise, and occasionally during quiet intervals, he heard the sound of chalk being wiped on the blackboard next to him.Shen Zhe copied the manuscript on the blackboard stroke by stroke. Writing on the blackboard was no more difficult than writing on paper.It's not unreasonable for Luo Mingyu to ask him to write, his handwriting is the most beautiful in the class.

The theme of the blackboard newspaper is still related to learning. Liang He saw that the written part in the lower left corner was a famous saying: "Knowledge is the candle that guides life to the realm of light and truth, and ignorance is the obstacle to the realm of light and truth, which is life. Obstacles to development." (*) To match the text, the girl who was in charge of the blackboard newspaper drew a burning candlestick next to it.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Wen Hao took a rag and ran to the half-cleaned window of Liang He. He followed the other's line of sight, and the newly wiped blackboard was replaced with new words and patterns, "Do The blackboard newspaper is really cool, and there is no need to clean it.”

"Why don't you recommend yourself to Lao Luo." Liang He said.

"She doesn't even like you, but she still likes my calligraphy? Not even painting."

"Then you are talking nonsense."

"I regret it now, I didn't learn a skill," Wen Hao soaked the rag in the basin, "I'll wipe the rest, and you go get the front one."

The cleaning was going on until almost six o'clock, and the people in the class went home one after another. Only the blackboard newspaper was delayed due to the modification of the content in the middle, and the work was still not completed.

Liang He wiped his desk for the last time, picked up his schoolbag and walked forward.The space in the corridor between the class seats is limited, accidentally, it hung on Xu Wenshan's desk in the front row, and a few pens fell off and scattered on the ground.Liang He turned around to help her pick it up, and apologized embarrassingly.

"It's okay, I'll do it." Xu Wenshan took the pen from him and packed it slowly, as if she had no intention of leaving immediately.

"Not going back yet?" Liang He glanced out the window, it was already dark.On the last day before the long holiday, boarding students also have to leave school.

She froze for a moment, then whispered, "I'll wait for someone."

She didn't say who she was waiting for, but the four people who were still in the class who did the blackboard newspaper, Liang He recalled the previous encounter in the noodle restaurant, and instinctively judged that the person she was waiting for was Shen Zhe.

But it had nothing to do with him, he stopped talking and walked out of the classroom alone.

Since the first two years, National Day and May Day have become seven-day long holidays.

Liang Zheng was also busy on National Day, so naturally he couldn't take care of Liang He. He asked him on the phone if he would like to invite his classmates out to have fun. Liang He said that he would do his homework at home.He didn't want to join in the fun and go out on a public holiday. There were people everywhere, so there was nothing to fuss about.But on the [-]rd, Liang He still went out and was dragged by his mother to attend the wedding.

Xu Limei hardly ever thinks of coming to see Liang He. The bride for this wedding is from her work unit, and several sisters who are close friends in the work unit will also be there, urging her to bring their children.

This was the case before her parents divorced. Xu Limei was very busy, and when she had the leisure to take him out, she often met people rather than somewhere to play.It seems that he is not Xu Limei's child, but the child of Xu Limei's colleagues or friends.

Of course, Liang He was basically not brought up by her, and he didn't have much emotional dependence and expectation on this mother, and his obedience to her was just to avoid causing disputes.Xu Limei is a very talkative person, if he argues with her, Liang He knows that he has no chance of winning.

Xu Limei asked him to change into a more energetic dress the day before.Liang He doesn't care much about what he wears, he doesn't care if he wears a school uniform every day. When buying clothes, he usually goes to the Metersbonwe store and picks out a few colors that are pleasing to the eye. It's not because he likes that brand, but because it's the closest to his home, and he buys it once. Will not go again for a long time.

That morning, he opened his closet and pulled out one of a row of black or blue casual clothes. He didn't know what "spirit" was in Xu Limei's eyes, but it might not be good to wear black for a wedding. He chose It is a dark blue hooded sweater with white lettering on the chest.

The place where the wedding was held was the largest hotel in the city. There was a colorful arch made of balloons right in front of the "Peony Hall" on the first floor, and the extra balloons were distributed to the children present by the waiters.

Liang He followed Xu Limei to get there early, and as expected, he quickly became the "crowd" object of his mother's colleagues and friends.

He repeated "Hello Uncle" and "Hello Auntie" like a machine... Liang He was amused when those people praised him for his sweet mouth, isn't it the easiest thing to do?As long as you do this, you can save a lot of trouble, why not do it.

Xu Limei didn't ask him about his recent test scores, or even about his class placement. Liang He didn't know how much she knew, anyway, he didn't want to take the initiative to report.

Catch up with the big happy event, the people present were extraordinarily excited, as if they were the ones getting married.After the toasting started, Liang He kept coming and going around, Xu Limei didn't know where to go, and the seat next to him was empty.

Liang He took out the document in his language to read.He doesn't forget to eat and sleep that much, but when he sits and reads a book, the adults around him are embarrassed to chat with him.

After flipping through a few pages decently, he felt that the seat beside him was taken.

"It's quite a job."

The voice was insignificant in the din of the hall, but Liang He still noticed it. At first he thought it was some adult who had no eyesight, but when he raised his eyes, he paused: "Why is it you?"

Shen Zhe wore a dress that he didn't wear at school, bright yellow, as dazzling as a traffic light.His skin is fair and looks very energetic with bright colors.Liang He wondered how many pieces of clothes he had. From the beginning of school to the present, he couldn't count them with two hands.

He said to Liang He: "My dad and I attended his colleague's wedding."

"Your dad's colleague is... the bride?"

"bridegroom."

Liang He didn't know the situation of Shen Zhe's family, only after listening to the other party today did he know that his father is a newspaper reporter, and the groom is indeed from the provincial newspaper.

"When did you see me?" Shen Zhe was not a friend he was familiar with, but among the adults in the room that he had no interest in dealing with, he seemed very cordial.

"I saw it right away," Shen Zhe tapped his fingers on the table, "You are really popular."

Liang He didn't speak, he didn't want that kind of "popularity".

Perhaps realizing that he said something wrong, Shen Zhe unnaturally turned his eyes to the textbook in Liang He's hand: "Have you memorized it?"

There are a lot of poems and essays in the first two units of the Chinese textbook, which are basically required to be recited, and will be checked after the National Day.

"It's almost there." Liang He glanced at the table covered with gaudy red cloth from the corner of his eye. Although there were still a lot of dishes left on the plates, they had long lost their delicate appearance and were in a mess. "Hey, shall I recite it to you now?"

"What did you say?" Shen Zhe didn't understand, until he saw Liang He's right hand flicking the page twice, "Recite the text?"

"Well, sooner or later I have to recite."

Luo Mingyu couldn't check the recitation of the whole class by herself, so she appointed a few people to assist in the acceptance check, and Shen Zhe, the class representative, was one of them.

Shen Zhe looked around the bustling hotel hall, not knowing why: "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing to do anyway."

Liang He leaned on the back of the chair and raised his head slightly.It turned out that Xu Limei was near the main table, surrounded by several people, drinking and chatting.Even in her early 40s, she is still a charming beauty and a great leader. She can become the focus of attention wherever she goes, even overshadowing the bride's limelight.

But this also means that she doesn't care about Liang He anymore.

Liang He's gaze didn't stop, and he scanned back to the textbook, and those densely packed characters seemed to be clearer in his eyes.

"Then let's go." Shen Zhe said suddenly.

"Go?" Liang He was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to recite it to me?" Shen Zhe smiled faintly when he left the seat, "You can't be here."

Being pulled on his arm, Liang He subconsciously stood up.
