Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

These people can’t write essays normally, and the teacher and the principal are very good at complaining. He doesn’t know how the Z Middle School exam is going this year, and this year’s test paper is indeed not low. Both the first line and the second line are lower than last year. Quite a lot.

Maybe the school feels that it is stronger in science, and should be able to achieve better results in this year's college entrance examination, which is difficult in mathematics.

The old donkey came down from the podium to collect volunteer forms. He took Ji Shi's first, followed by Zhou Weile and Yao Meng's, and frowned: "Why doesn't everyone want to learn chemistry? I think chemistry is pretty good."

Everyone secretly exchanged glances, but no one said anything.

As a chemistry teacher, Lao Lu thinks that chemistry is very good, and chemistry experiments are interesting. Of course, from the perspective of employment, it is normal for students not to apply for chemistry.

These theoretical subjects become more and more difficult as they go up. Among other things, even if they speak Chinese and write Chinese characters since they were young, wouldn’t learning Chinese language and literature be like listening to heavenly scriptures?

Students have their own ideas. As a teacher, he should not interfere, but should encourage and support them.

Seeing Huang Yaqiong's wish, the old donkey put it in his hands for a while. He planned to call and chat with Huang Yaqiong's parents to see if Huang Yaqiong's wish was the student's own idea, or if the parents also thought the same.

In any case, it is better to be insured when filling out volunteers.

Zeng Tairan was the last one among them to submit their volunteers. He and his parents fought on the phone for a long time, but in the end he was biased: "If I can get ahead, I'll do it. If I can't, I'll just stay at home , I have already made a plan for my life."

Huang Yaqiong complained: "Your ambition is really great."

"Thank you for the compliment." Zeng Tairan sighed, "But think about it, unless I am in the third grade of high school, I won't be able to touch Jingchuan's side. Since I got this score in the test, I have to accept that my choice is very narrow. .”

Ji Shi patted Zeng Tairan on the shoulder, but didn't make a sound to comfort him.

The part of volunteering is also a part of their three years of high school. Whatever seeds they plant will bear fruit. No matter how optimistic their personalities are, no matter how out of tune they are, they will definitely think calmly and analyze at this time. , because this is the reality they must face.

By the time Ji Shi and they left the school gate, it was already dark.

"I thought the school would put up banners. Congratulations to Ji Shi, a student from our school..." Zeng Tairan was gagged by Ji Shi in the middle of his words, "Shut up."

"Ji Shi hasn't confirmed his admission to the school yet. It's normal not to post it now. When the admission notice arrives, the guaranteed school will hang up the banner immediately."

Ji Shi: "..."

He didn't even want to say that he had already passed up his junior high school... Thinking about it this way, it doesn't really matter whether he passed in Z middle school or not. After all, there are only a few people in Z County who know him. also.

But junior high school is different. Although they don't know who Ji Shi is, they know his father and grandfather.

The last bus to go back is at 5:15. When Ji Shi left the school gate, he knew that it was too late, so he rushed to the place where the minibus took a taxi. Unfortunately, at this point, the taxi knew that you didn’t have a bus, so he just took the bus. The starting price, usually 30 yuan per person, directly rose to [-] yuan, and several more people were recruited.

Fortunately, there was another bus in the next town, and Ji Shi squeezed on it.

The car in the next town is not too far from their home. His dad can ride for more than ten minutes from the intersection in their town. Anyway, the car in the next town has to turn around their town.

When he got in the car, his dad also called.

The minibus was also very crowded, but he felt more at ease taking a minibus than taking a taxi. The taxi he took to school before really left him with a deep psychological shadow. At least he didn’t have to squat the whole time to take a minibus.

After getting off the car, Ji's father was already waiting for Ji Shi at the intersection. He and Ji's mother just came back from their busy work in the field. They didn't change their clothes and came here wearing slippers. It generally doesn't matter what shoes they wear.

"Do you want to eat fried chicken drumsticks?" Papa Ji asked.

"eat!"

The machine for dispensing medicine at home broke down. Dad Ji wanted to buy a replacement tool, so he stopped at the farm tool store. The boss saw that Dad Ji was very enthusiastic: "Aijun, go pick up the child? Oh, they said your son passed the Qing Dynasty exam. Beijing! Is it your son?"

The agricultural tools store, electrical appliance store, and seed store in their town are all village businesses. The owner has been in business for decades, and he knows most of his regular customers. Ji Shi’s family has a lot of fields, and he often comes to the town to buy steel pipes and films for greenhouses. , the boss also knows that his son is studying in Z.

"I just took the college entrance examination, and the school hasn't been decided yet."

"The gates of the middle school are all hung up, saying that your son got the first place in Z middle school. I also heard from others. When I met you, I just asked."

Father Ji cheerfully handed him a cigarette: "He did well in the exam, this time he got the first place."

Ji Shi wanted to laugh when he saw his dad handing over cigarettes, because his dad doesn't usually smoke, and this time it was also because his relatives and friends kept coming after Ji Shi's score came out. He bought two cigarettes to share with others. In Yuxi, it costs about 20 yuan a pack. Usually, what their family finds temporary workers to buy is Hongtashan or Red Nanjing, which is cheaper.

"You are so lucky."

The owner of the farm tool shop handed over the parts, and looked at Ji Shi with a smile on his face: "How do your children usually learn? Is there anything to do during summer vacation? If there is nothing to do, help our family with homework. The fee is definitely not low."

"See what the child thinks." Father Ji smiled.

The same thing happened several times in the evening. Ji's father also met an acquaintance when he took Ji Shi to fry chicken drumsticks. He said, "Your family has gone to high school, and the banners are hung up at the entrance of the middle school." A group of junior high school students who came to buy fried chicken legs looked sideways.

The fried chicken leg stand is just east of the intersection, just a few roads away from the south gate of their junior high school. The junior high school is not only closed at the west gate, but also at the south gate.

For their small town, the establishment of a Qing capital is already explosive news.

After boasting about Ji Shi, the next sentence is definitely to ask Ji Shi if he can help make up lessons during the summer vacation, as well as his tutorial books and materials.

Ji Shi's tutoring books have basically been booked by his cousin. He must be the priority of his family, but his cousin is better at liberal arts, and the ambition of class division is to select essays, so Ji Shi's physics and chemistry materials have not yet been allocated.

He had to wait for his cousin to go on summer vacation before coming over to pick.

"I haven't rested in the past few days." Ji's father and Ji Shi said, "The village also said that they will give you a bonus, and they said that the town also has them."

"Is there any money in our village?" Ji Shi was very curious. In his impression, their village has always been poor, and there are no enterprises. They are all farming and receiving subsidies for agricultural materials. .

"Who knows?" Papa Ji said, "I have kept my mobile phone on me for the past few days, and many relatives have called, even my uncle's second son in Hui Province called to ask questions."

The old uncle is the old lady's younger brother, even the son of Ji Shi's great-grandmother's younger brother came to ask.

The relatives of the Ji family are simple, referring to the generation of Grandpa Ji Shi. After all, the old lady was only a child of his grandfather, which was rare in that era, but both his father and the old lady had brothers and sisters, so Ji Shi There are quite a lot of family members. There are aunts and uncles on the old lady's side, aunts and uncles on the grandma's side, and brothers and sisters on the grandparents' side. There are actually a lot of relatives.

These relatives don't get in touch with each other usually, and they usually move around only for major events such as weddings and funerals, but the news that Ji Shi was able to go to the Qing capital is a major event among major events for their entire family, and everyone is particularly concerned about it.

That is Qingjing, not another school!

Z county places emphasis on education, but few of their relatives go to good schools. It has been several years since some students in their town went to Jinling, and they all know that the children who can get into good schools are the best.

Of course, it also benefited to a large extent from the publicity of the junior high school. Once such a large banner was hung, not all blind people could see it.

After Ji Shi returned home, he was not very stable. As soon as his grades came out, the relatives and neighbors who borrowed the review materials came one by one. Borrowing materials was the second priority. They mainly came to ask Ji Shi if he was free to help with his studies.

Ji Shi agreed to a few neighbors who lived close by. According to his parents' wishes, he didn't charge much for extra tuition. Anyway, he stayed at home for the time being and didn't go out.

In short, a few days after returning home after voluntary application, their house finally became a little quieter. Doing homework in Ji Shi's big house.

Ji's father asked Ji Shi if he wanted to buy an air conditioner, but Ji Shi refused: "Dad, if the family still has money, let's build the house first, and the urban construction should not be approved in two years."

Now basically every family in their village is renovating or preparing to renovate the house. The price of cement and yellow sand has skyrocketed, and labor costs have also risen. The price of their family will be much higher than the previous year after a year's delay.

"The money is not enough, and if you are going to Beijing to study soon, I have to prepare for your tuition and living expenses, right?"

Father Ji has concerns, and it is summer now, and the family is still busy with farm work, so he plans to think about it next year.

In fact, Ji's father didn't really want to build it at all. It turned out that what he wanted was to wait for Ji Shi to go to college. The children stayed at home, so it wouldn't be good for him to sleep in a shed like them, right?

But now Ji's father thinks far away. Ji Shi will go to Beijing to go to school next. It is the capital, and the cost of living must be much higher than that of ordinary cities. Also, if Ji Shi wants to stay in Beijing after graduation, even if he can't afford Beijing For the house, they have to work hard to support it, so they can't let the children fail to take out things when they reach out, right?

The one-story house in their house was built before Ji's father and Ji's mother got married. When Ji Shi's grandparents were alive, they lived in the east house, and they lived in the west house. Later, Ji Shi's grandparents passed away, and the house was old, but it was not considered dilapidated. After all, my family members worked together to build houses in the past, and the materials were all good materials.

"But you can't live in this crappy house until you grow old, can you?" Ji Shi knew his father's thoughts without guessing, "I'll do it first, my mother has always wanted to do it, right?"

"I never said that." Mama Ji came in with a basin. The watermelon in the basin was watermelon that had been squeezed in well water. It was just cut and the flesh was very red. It was refreshing and sweet after taking a bite. build."

"Then fix it." Ji Shi put his arms around his father's neck. When he was a child, he thought his father was quite tall, but now he can look down on his father. "I also strive to study hard in school and get a scholarship."

Moreover, the schools and counties of Tsinghua University and Beijing University seem to give bonuses. Ji Shi heard from the old donkey that the amount of bonuses is not low.

"Wait until you finish college."

"When I was in junior high school, you wanted to build a house. You said you would wait until I finished high school, and you would delay it after I finished high school. Do you have to wait until I am 80?"

Father Ji laughed when he heard him say this: "I don't want to live to be 80. Your grandma lived to be more than 60. I can be about the same as her."

Ji's father is very stubborn in his bones, and he has tenacity. He usually doesn't want to change the things he has decided, and other people can't persuade him. After Ji Shi came back, he also has this stubbornness. Let's see who can make sense of who he and his father are.

For Ji Shi, the days of tutoring homework at home are no different from those at school. He has set a time for the children who come to the house, what time to start class and when to end get out of class, and call in advance if they can't come.

The advantage of tutoring neighbor children is that he is not very familiar with them, but he is barely the same age and has a sense of distance, but he is not as serious as the teacher. In addition, he has the signboard of No. All the kids listened to him.

There are also parents from the neighboring village, including the town, who come to his house to ask if there is another chair for him.

After all, it was impossible for Ji Shi to take care of everyone, and he refused all those who felt inconvenient.

The recent state makes him feel like he is back in the third year of high school, because the rhythm of life is very regular, and he deals with various topics every day. Of course, he no longer feels nervous about going to school in the third year of high school, and the overall state is still very relaxed.

Ji Shi was very serious when he was studying, so he was also very serious when giving lectures.

Since he planned to learn mathematics, Ji Shi also found some university textbooks and materials to read. He was already mentally prepared to face various difficulties, and he also knew that he would be surrounded by geniuses among his peers.

Above the knowledge is the vast starry sky, which is an area that countless people have not touched. Maybe he will be hit by reality in the first year of university, but before that, he has been hit by reality countless times.

Zeng Tairan and Zhou Weile were both playing outside recently, and Huang Yaqiong also went to Haishi. She posted photos taken at the Oriental Pearl Tower and the riverside, and Ji Shi was a little envious.

Still, his life was pretty fulfilling.

During the day, he was at home helping students make up lessons, and at night, the stevia at home began to be harvested, and Ji Shi also helped to get some. He was basically busy until 8 or 9 o'clock, and Ji's mother told him to go to bed. She and Ji's father could It dragged on until 10:11, and the lights in the village were basically on at this time, because every household grew stevia.

"Shishi, do you still eat watermelon?" Mama Ji called him through the window.

"Don't eat." Ji Shi shook his head, "When will you be busy, I'll come out for a meeting."

"You watch your TV." Ji Ma said, "There are snacks in the box if you're hungry, remember to take them."

Zeng Tairan's salary plummeted after the exam, but this kind of thing didn't happen at all in Ji's family, because Ji Shi did so well in the exam this year, his salary was no different from that of his senior year in high school, Ji's father and Ji's mother were always happy Cool, not stingy at spending money on Ji Shi.

The story of building the house has been brainwashed by his father's ears, talking about it several times a day, saying that his mother has become his staunch supporter.
