Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

On the first day of the holiday, I wrote the test paper in a mess. I have to say that although the discussion itself is a bit time-consuming, several people can concentrate more on the questions than one person, and the overall efficiency will be higher. .

When they were writing the questions, Ji's mother also cut fruit and brought them in. When they finished the questions at noon, Zhou Tinglu and Zou Yong both asked Ji Shi to go to their house for dinner, saying that it was strongly requested by their parents.

Ji Shi didn't really want to go, they were very casual in getting along with each other, but with the atmosphere of parents, it would naturally become awkward, and after his grades improved, he would always enjoy the excessive enthusiasm of the parents, although this was quite normal , but Ji Shi just didn't quite get used to it.

He's a bit of a social fear by nature, and seems to get along with everyone, but he's hardly the one to take the initiative.

Fortunately, Mama Ji is very powerful. She kept urging Zhou Tinglu and Zou Yong to stay at their house for dinner. Zhou Tinglu and Zou Yong would definitely not agree, so they just pushed them and ran home quickly, while Ji Shi still stayed at their house. my home.

Before lunch, he spent some time rechecking the physics and chemistry problems.

Today is May [-]st, and there is a May [-]st special program on TV, as well as the grand occasion of the Haishi World Expo. With the host's affectionate voice, Ji Shi felt very excited when he heard it.

Now is the era when the kind of characters mentioned ten years later are more rampant. The autobiography of a certain cancer escapee is especially popular in bookstores. In addition, in 08, Ah Chou came out with a president who can make speeches. All kinds of bragging, but Ji Shi is a typical rural person. He has always felt that his family is the best, especially in terms of rural policies. He feels that the country has done its best.

When he was a child, his family had to pay agricultural tax. Ji’s family had a lot of land and the tax was high. At that time, the family had no money, and their family was the last to pay the tax every time. Later, the teacher said that whoever didn’t pay the tax would not come to school. Ji Shi was frightened Cried loudly, went back and blamed his parents, afraid that he didn't learn.

He didn't know that his parents really had no money at that time.

When Ji Shi was in elementary school, food prices were at their lowest. Ji’s father and mother could only go to the sea to contract farmland. Z County is close to the sea, and the area under its jurisdiction increases every year due to the shift of the coastline. There are many vacant lands there. As a result, Ji's father had an accident and lost money when he was renting the fields. It seemed that Ji Shi was in the third grade. By the time he was in the fourth grade, the family really had no money at all.

It was only later that Ji Shi heard from his second aunt that his father would squat at the entrance of her kitchen, crying and saying that if something happened to him, he would ask his second aunt to take care of Ji Shi.

When Jishi was in the fifth and sixth grades, his grandma passed away again. Before she died, her grandmother said that Ji’s father should go to school for Jishi, and he must go to school. His father loved playing cards when he was young, and he was not tall and thin. , his grandma felt that he could not raise the child to a big age.

His grandpa and his grandma have different ideas. His grandpa died of old age naturally, and got dementia when he got old. He also wanted to give Ji Shi 20 yuan to let him open a store, because in his old man's opinion, opening a store is the most profitable, and There is no need to go to the fields, and people enjoy happiness.

In fact, he doesn't have much money himself, but he often solemnly pulls Ji Shi aside and says, "Grandpa will earn you 20."

It was not until the agricultural tax was abolished and the income from growing vegetables increased that their family's life gradually improved. Later, there were subsidies for better varieties of food, and a new cooperative medical system was established. Every year, the money was transferred to his parents' passbook.

Just a few days before Ji Shi returned to his third year of high school, his father called him and said that the village was going to build the road to their farm, that is, the road to the fields, into concrete roads, and by the way, the road in front of the house was also repaired. , but the small road in front of my house has to post money, and the money is not much, just a few thousand dollars.

So Ji Shi can really feel this kind of change. Of course, he doesn't pay attention to the kind of big people and big events. He cares more about the details of the changes that happen to him.

……

After lunch, Zhou Tinglu and Zou Yong came again. Several people got together and continued to work on the questions. Zou Yong asked Ji Shi: "Wang Lie asked me to go to his house tomorrow, do you want to come together?"

"No, I'll stay at home."

Ji Shi refused without thinking.

Wang Lie was also admitted to Z Middle School by a group of them. He was in the same class as Ji Shi in the first year of junior high school, but they didn't know each other very well after they were divided into classes. I can bear it, because my mother wants Wang Lie to play with students with good grades. At first, they got along pretty well. Later, Jishi's grades in the second grade of junior high school dropped a few times, and there were two monthly exams that might directly jump out of the admission line in Z. Well, Wang Lie's fucking face is... Now that I think about it, it's scarier than the old donkey's natural horse face.

Since then, Ji Shi has had a psychological shadow. Although Wang Lie is very enthusiastic about him, Ji Shi still feels scared when he thinks about it.

Zou Yong asked Zhou Tinglu again, Zhou Tinglu first asked who was going, and when she heard that they were all boys, she naturally refused.

"Let's wait until the exam is over. There's a lot of time after the exam." Zhou Tinglu said, "Recently, I've been very nervous about reviewing, and I might not have time to do the exam papers when I go out again, right?"

Zou Yong thought it was right, he sent a message to Wang Lie, saying that he would not go tomorrow.

The main reason is that there is quite a learning atmosphere with Ji Shi. When they went to Wang Lie's house, the two of them must not be as self-conscious as Ji Shi. When Wang Lie's mother saw him later, he might have to talk about it.

Mama Wang Lie didn't speak as straightforwardly as Mama Ji and the others, but there was something uncomfortable about it.

Ji Shi took the time to practice mathematics again. He had already done more than half of the materials copied before. He was worried that he would not have enough time. After all, it was not so easy to spare an hour, but later he found that as long as he wanted to, time was tight. There is still some cramping, even if it is the day when he is going to cram school, as long as he is willing to set aside an hour to do math problems, he can always finish a lot of content.

"Is this the material you prepared yourself?" Zhou Tinglu glanced curiously.

"Yes." Ji Shi nodded, "Do you want it? If you want it, go to school and make a copy."

"Forget it, I haven't finished reviewing the materials at hand now, and I don't have the heart to read other things." Zhou Tinglu smiled, "Your review materials are too high-end, and they may not be suitable for me."

Ji Shi felt that she was right.

Zhou Tinglu is relatively weak in liberal arts, so she focuses on Chinese and English. She knows very well that it is not enough to just focus on the science subjects, because her upper limit in mathematics is there. She can't get too many points, but Chinese and English are different. There is still more than a month left in the college entrance examination, and she can get one point for one point.

Ji Shi remembered that Zhou Tinglu had a good life after graduation, everything went smoothly, and he felt that it was easier for a person like the other party who had a clear plan to live a good life.

He doesn't belong to that kind of person, but he has woken up anyway, and now he is trying to get close to his dream.

"Ji Shi, did you bring back all the English review materials and vocabulary books? There are also Chinese materials, that's the point." Zhou Tinglu was not polite to Ji Shi, and whispered to Ji Shi, "It's best to be the No. of your class. 1, you should have the information there, right?"

She was talking about Huang Yaqiong. Unfortunately, Ji Shi really had them. He had Huang Yaqiong's language notes and Yao Meng's materialization notes. There was nothing he could do about it, because these two were too generous, and he didn't take the initiative to ask for them. The two of them took the initiative to lend him the notes to copy.

It's not that he didn't want to ask Zhou Weile for the notes. It's because Zhou Weile didn't have serious notes at all. He just relied on listening to the teacher's lectures every day and adding papers. This person could score 120 points in the physics test!

Of course, every time Ji Shi complained, Zhou Weile countered back with the reason of "Your English is very good", and Ji Shi couldn't refute it, because his materialization was still better than Zhou Weile's English.

Zhou Tinglu only read Huang Yaqiong's notes for the time being, but she also made an appointment with Ji Shi to lend her a copy of this note after returning to school, provided that she got Huang Yaqiong's permission, and Ji Shi agreed to ask Huang Yaqiong for her.

……

During the May Day holiday, it was very ordinary. No one called him to eat. My cousin didn’t come home at all on May Day. The second aunt said that she and her classmates went out for a poor trip. There is no such thing as a poor travel in this year, but people on their side When expressing, I like to use the word "poor" to describe someone's stupid behavior.

In addition to doing questions, he just hangs around, wandering from one field to the other, fishing and then lobster fishing. In fact, there are no lobsters in the river ditch at their house, but the rainy season has not yet arrived, and the river dam is a bit dry. His mother showed him the lobster hole and told him to go in and see if he could get something out.

This is one of the few joys at home.

When he was a child, he loved watching TV, such as Ultraman Dragon Ball, and later in "Youth Bao Qingtian" and "One Foot Determines the Country", his father still liked to fight with him for the remote control. But now, even if his father left the TV for him to watch, he wouldn't bother.

However, he still used TV to watch an English movie, which belonged to supplementing English knowledge in his spare time. The TV was connected with Mp3. Now the Internet is still a luxury, and the broadband at home was only after Ji Shi graduated from university.

Father Ji is still relatively fashionable in this respect.

The ultra-thin TV that Ji Shi’s family bought last year was relatively new in their village, and the broadband was installed early, because Ji’s father wanted to watch Internet TV. At that time, Ji Shi also helped him buy a Youku TV membership for him to watch " "Yongzheng Dynasty", he is an avid fan of "Yongzheng Dynasty", and Ji Shi was forced to watch it many times since he was a child.

The TV and broadband of the second aunt's house were installed after a long time in their house.

……

During the holiday, Ji Shi did not forget to communicate more with his friends. Huang Yaqiong and Yao Meng wrote the test papers the fastest, even faster than Ji Shi. Zhou Weile wrote all the science papers on the first day of the holiday. It's over, the efficiency is the most efficient among them, but when Ji Shi finished all the test papers of all subjects, he hasn't written the Chinese composition and English test papers yet.

"I suddenly suffer from learning difficulties." Zhou Weile said, "I just don't want to write."

"So there is still such an expression for being lazy? I have been taught." Huang Yaqiong only used question marks and periods in this sentence, but the indifference in her tone can be felt across the screen. In front of the original shape.

Zhou Weile: "..."

Of course, in terms of efficiency, Zeng Tairan will always be the last one to finish his homework, and Zeng Tairan will never finish his homework during the holidays. His homework is all finished in the morning self-study when he returns to school. That was a quick move, which made Ji Shi suspect that his eyesight was 5.2, but Zeng Tairan did not wear glasses, Yao Meng was the only one in their circle who wore glasses.

Also pretty awesome.

This time, after returning to May Day, there will be monthly exams. After the monthly exams, there will be mock exams before the college entrance examination. Once a week, maybe twice in the last week. Their students don’t know the specific situation, so they just listen to the school’s arrangements.

Ji Shi chatted for a while. The movie he watched was "Ghost Love", which was played by Demi Moore. For them, this movie was indeed too old, and it was still a romance movie. Even Huang Yaqiong didn't like watching it very much. They prefer Disney's princess films, such as "Mean Girls", "Cinderella's XXXX", and "High School Musical". Anne Hathaway is a popular European and American star now.

Zhou Weile answered, "Should I also find a European and American movie to watch?"

"Finish the English test paper first."

"Just watch for a while."

"Write the test paper first."

Zhou Weile said silently, "...I'm going to write the test paper."

He's been hurt by his friends and needs to heal now.

Yao Meng didn't talk much, and watched silently from the sidelines throughout the whole process, only if he or Zeng Tairan suddenly said "Where is Yao Meng", this person would suddenly appear, say a word or two, and then disappear silently, waiting for them to mention him appear again.

Huang Yaqiong and Ji Shi were the ones who spoke the most in the group, because Huang Yaqiong had several questions to ask about the three subjects of materialization, and Ji Shi had questions about materialization. The two chatted and began to answer each other's questions. Huang Yaqiong is not as good as Ji Shi, but her materialization is not bad in the class. She doesn't have Zhou Weile's talent, but she can't lose to anyone in terms of diligence.

Ji Shi deeply felt the same way.

The discussion went on until the evening, and when encountering difficult topics, Yao Meng would also bubble up to participate, and Zeng Tairan would also give his own opinions. In the end, everyone could basically get an answer that was acceptable to each other on the basis of the discussion, after all Everyone's grades may be good or bad, but their thinking angles are different, and everyone's answers are worth learning from.

"It's time to eat!"

Ji Shi put down his phone: "My mother asked me to go to dinner, we will talk later."

"Then I'll go eat too."

There is still fish soup tonight, it wasn't Ji Shi who caught it, and with his level, he was only a spectator. The neighbor knew that he was about to take the college entrance examination, so he poured some for Ji Shi from the bucket he was fishing. Ji Shi originally wanted to pretend that It was my own achievement, but it was a pity that Ji's mother saw through it ruthlessly.

At this point, Ji's mother still has a clear understanding of Ji Shi. Ji Shi has a good brain since he was a child, but his hands-on ability is not very good.

Ji Shi: "... I see that people have been fishing for a long time, and this fish is also due to my hard work."

"You have worked hard just by looking at it with your eyes?"

Ji Shi nodded seriously, and Ji's mother couldn't help laughing.

But I know that Ji Shi's college entrance examination, neighbors take good care of him, the neighbor's grandma sent a lot of fresh vegetables, but Ji Shi's family didn't grow them, mainly because the family is too busy at ordinary times, and Ji's parents and mothers don't have time to grow vegetables at all. , Grandma would sometimes give them the tomatoes and cucumbers grown at home. Their home is the loofah and pumpkin on the haystack at the door. No need to worry about it, they can grow the haystack by themselves.

Most of the neighbors are still kind, but they really like to compare, compare the college entrance examination scores of the same batch of students who entered Z middle school, and evaluate Jishi's college entrance examination scores.

Ji Shi used to be very annoyed by these gossips, but he would also think that if he could get a slightly higher score in the college entrance examination, even if he only had a second line, he would not be talked about by others.

It was he who gave others the opportunity to gossip.

"Are you full? There's still some in the pot." Mama Ji asked, "I've gained a lot of weight after eating after you this year."

She stretched out her fingers toward Ji Shi: "Look, your fingers are all flat."

But Ji Shi felt that there were still cracks on his mother's fingers, and it wasn't something that could disappear after taking care of him in a few days.

"You should eat more, don't save in the future, and buy some meat to eat." Ji's father looked at Ji's mother, "You can't save much money, how much is rice a month?"

Ji's mother is only generous to Ji Shi, and Ji's father feels aggrieved just thinking about it.

Ji's mother said that he used a little more shampoo yesterday, saying that he was a waste, and that he used more hair on the top of his head than anyone else.

Ji's father thinks that Ji's mother's description is used to describe a bald man. His hair is short and thick, and his family does not have the baldness gene.

Been nagging him for 5 minutes just about it!
