Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

Generally, in winter or during Chinese New Year gatherings, Ji Shi and his family cook similar dishes. Shrimp is a must. Use live river prawns to soak them in soy sauce, cooking wine, vinegar and salt. The food is raw, and the taste of the prawns is not heavy. , the taste of the seasoning is very strong, and the river prawns are very small, one plate is enough to eat for a long time, and the mouth feels like it has been marinated after eating.

Soy mud snails are also very popular with locals, but this dish is almost no one eats it outside. General specialty shops also sell soy mud snails, but the cooking wine is too strong, not as delicious as homemade ones, and Ji Shi is not. I like it too much.

Because Z County has a relatively wide area, Ji Shi and his family belong to the east line and are close to the sea. They usually eat more seafood. The taste of other towns may not be similar to theirs. The students are basically not used to it.

Boiled prawns are usually served on the table, as well as beef vermicelli and braised chicken nuggets. The chicken is free-range chicken at home. The soup is sticky and the meat is very elastic. Although eating at home is not as good as eating in restaurants, There were no particularly expensive ingredients, but Ji Shi just thought it was delicious.

Home food is always the best.

Halfway through the meal, the parents began to chat about the recent harvest, major national events, and occasionally their children's studies. When Ji Shi mentioned this, Ji's father and Ji's mother were very happy, because Ji Shi's two monthly exam scores were all the same. It was very good and far exceeded their expectations. When talking about their children's achievements at home, they were very proud.

With this as motivation, even if she has to run around the house and the county town every week, Mama Ji doesn't complain at all, but feels very satisfied.

They were a little worried when Ji Shi didn't study hard before, but now they feel relieved.

At this time, the cousin usually chooses to bury her head and eat hard, in order to avoid the eyes of the second aunt, because she has not yet passed the fourth level of English.

The second aunt is not very good at criticizing her cousin in front of them or asking her to learn such words from Ji Shi. She has always given her cousin a lot of face, but when Ji Shi and they leave, her cousin will definitely be scolded again.

After dinner, the second aunt and Ji's mother washed the dishes and chatted by the well water. The topics they talked about were basically not national affairs, but all kinds of gossip in the village. Ji Shi and his cousin went over and pretended to help wash the dishes. He wanted to listen to gossip, but was chased aside by the two like chickens: "When adults talk, children should not be around."

"They must be secretly speaking ill of others." The cousin muttered in a low voice.

Although there are not many people in their group, there are only [-] or [-] households from east to west, but there are a lot of gossips. When they didn't understand before, Second Aunt and Ji Ma didn't mind telling them in front of them. When they grow up , they seldom talk about some messy topics face to face.

But they thought that the children didn't know, but in fact, the village is such a big place, and the rumors about it have already been spread all over the place.

Ji Shi would be too lazy to go home. He waited for his mother to come back after washing the dishes, and found a stone mill on it. The stone mill was flat, and they were all old things from the past. No one used them now. There was also a big stone roller, on which Ji Shi often rolled and played when he was a child.

Ji Shi is in her third year of high school, and her cousin is also a junior this year. She majored in computer science, but according to her own account, she knows nothing about computers. She only learned how to use computers to watch videos and listen to music, so now she is also worried about finding a job. thing.

Ji Shi knew that she was right.

In fact, when my cousin graduated just in time for the rise of the domestic Internet, it was almost the time when Ji Shi graduated and took a job. "Dachang" has become a place that graduates yearn for, but my cousin is not good at majors, and the school is not good. After that, the second aunt found a way to ask someone to find a job, but the job was not very good, and the cousin didn't stay long, so she went to a tourist city in the province, where she met her cousin's husband, got married and had children, and lived happily.

Ji Shi didn't know how to comfort his current cousin.

After all, he can't tell the other party what the future looks like, and the cousin doesn't belong to the kind of character who suddenly strives to become stronger. She has always been an optimist, laughing and joking all the time, and is not very anxious. She is not good.

The cousin brought Ji Shi a wooden ornament with a pattern of a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, and said that she bought it for him when she and her classmates went on a trip to the scenic spot.

Ji Shi obviously couldn't think of this aspect. After all, his mind is not as delicate as a girl's.

Let's wait for the Chinese New Year, he happens to have some money, so he can go to the pedestrian street to pick out some trinkets for them.

Ji Shi thinks that they are quite easy to be satisfied now. They are very satisfied when they go shopping in small jewelry stores and eat delicious snacks. They don’t want to be full of talk about showing off their wealth on various platforms later. Famous watches are a sin.

……

"Is it cold?"

The stone mill that Ji Shi was stepping on happened to be at the air outlet, and the second aunt's house was in the second row of the village group, with a country road on the side and a large farmland behind it, and the wind blew right on Ji Shi's body, whistling But Ji Shi just didn't want to come down.

Staying at home is just to pay attention to something, and I can't take it easy.

In summer, Ji Shi usually stands on the haystack in front of his house, or climbs up a tree, or pushes the family's wheelbarrow around. The river is really dirty.

"not cold."

"After a few days to go back to school, I will go out on Saturday to buy you a down jacket. There is a Bosideng shop at the entrance of the pedestrian street. I saw it last time I went shopping."

"No need." Ji Shi patted his mother, "It's not impossible to wear last year's clothes."

"Have you finished your homework? Go to grandma's house for dinner at night, you know?"

Of course Ji Shi didn't finish his homework, even when he heard his mother talk about his homework, he thought of his poor composition, and his expression immediately turned bad.

He couldn't help complaining to his mother about how difficult it was to write an essay, complaining that he had been stuck in Chinese in the past few exams.

In fact, his mother couldn't understand what he said, but when Ji Shi complained, she also complained that the teacher who produced the paper made things difficult for the students.

After all, Ji Shi's words are not good for complaining in front of his classmates, then it will be Versailles. Even if his Chinese is not good, it is definitely not bad, and he is the first in the class in terms of language and mathematics these two times. If he complains, What should other people think?

So Ji Shi felt that it was actually quite good to complain with his family members.

……

This season is considered to be the slack season. On the way home, Ji Shi met many neighbors who had just had dinner and greeted them. He never saw so many people when he went home before. Everyone was on the ground. work here.

"Come here every now and then for a steamed bun."

The neighbor's grandmother greeted Ji Shi, and Ji's mother patted Ji Shi, and Ji Shi immediately called out "Grandma" obediently, holding a steaming vegetable bun in his hand.

Vegetable buns are stuffed with leeks. They are filled with leeks, eggs, shredded pork and dried tofu. They are all chopped. The first pot of steaming in the pan is very fragrant. The boiled dumplings are also chopped, but they are basically visible pieces, unlike quick-frozen dumplings where all the fillings are twisted together.

That is to say, during the slack season, the family has time to steam steamed buns, dumplings, fried meatballs, and steamed rice cakes. Rice cakes are steamed in a special wooden frame. Ji Shi doesn’t know what that is, anyway, basically your family has finished steaming them. Borrow my house to steam, pour the glutinous rice into the wooden grid, and then cover it with a lid, the steamed rice cake is trapezoidal, fat, not the kind of long strip, fragrant and sticky, fresh out of the pan is the best , but it is usually placed in a big bamboo basket at home, and it is thrown into rice porridge to cook in winter, which is very full.

Ji Shi prefers to eat stir-fried rice cakes. The rice cakes are fried together with brown sugar, which is sweet and fragrant. He doesn't like cooking them in porridge, because it tastes bland and makes him grin his teeth when he chews them.

The freshly fried meatballs are also delicious. They are fried with their own rapeseed oil. The meatballs are made into small pieces. They are mixed with flour, vegetables and meat. They are not like the big meatballs, which are too fat. It tastes like it is swollen. The meatballs at home are thinner and less greasy.

Ji Shi felt that he was a little too much. He had just eaten lunch, but he actually ate two whole buns.

Not one, but two!

Ji Shi decided to go back and do physics problems to reflect.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he received a complaint from Yao Meng. He was dragged by his mother to buy clothes after getting his glasses done. He walked from the first floor to the fourth floor of the shopping mall. His legs were useless and he changed five or six times.

"If you have this time, why don't you go to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore to buy teaching aids." Yao Meng rarely talked at length, "My mother actually said, take a good vacation and let me spare myself."

Ji Shi: "..."

He thinks Yao Meng's mother can change with Zeng Tairan's mother.

The two of them got back to the topic they needed to talk about. Yao Meng asked Ji Shi if he had finished his physics test paper. Ji Shi said no, and he asked him if he had finished his composition.

Ji Shi was immediately alert: "What do you want to do?"

"Let me take a look."

Ji Shi: "...I don't want to."

"When I was getting my glasses on today, I was thinking about the essay about youth, but I couldn't figure it out, so I asked Huang Yaqiong to borrow the essay."

Ji Shi: "...I also borrowed from her."

Yao Meng didn't reply to the message for almost half a minute, and told Ji Shi after a while: "As far as I know, Zhou Weile also asked Huang Yaqiong to borrow his composition."

"How does it feel."

"...Let's write it ourselves."

After all, their language has not reached Huang Yaqiong's level. Looking at other people's compositions, they will only feel that they are humiliating themselves.

After a while, Yao Meng broke free from his mother's clutches and went to the second floor of Xinhua Bookstore to pick up books. He is more financially free than Ji Shi, and he belongs to the kind of person who saved more than [-] yuan in middle school, but he is also quite restrained. , generally only buy learning supplementary materials, and his parents are very relieved of him.

Ji Shi now has a huge four-figure sum in his hands, and he feels quite rich.

Yao Meng finished his physics and chemistry test papers, so he didn't have any really difficult questions. At most, Chinese composition was troublesome, so he had time to go to Xinhua Bookstore to pick books.

To some extent, visiting the bookstore is also a way for them to express their emotions. The bookstore is still a relatively sacred place. Buying books there will make people unconsciously have the idea of ​​​​reading the book, and even Ji Shi will feel that, The books in Xinhua Bookstore are higher-end than those in the small bookstore in front of the school.

……

Yao Meng finished his physical chemistry, and Ji Shi felt that it would be too much for him to continue wasting time. He took out the physics test paper, spread it on the table, filled the hot water bottle with water, and poured some boiling water before taking the pen. Come out and write.

This is his sense of ritual before writing homework.

Plugged-in hot water bottles are actually popular now, but Laolu always emphasizes not to buy plugged-in hot water bottles in meetings, as they may explode, so Mama Ji still buys the oldest rubber hot water bottle with diagonal stripes on it. More heat preservation, also can prevent scald.

Ji Shidong's life is given by down jackets and hot water bottles.

Physics is different from Chinese. It is a subject that can no longer be distracted while writing. From the first question, Ji Shi has maintained [-]% concentration.

Before distributing the test papers, the physics teacher had reminded them that this time, one set of physics test papers is basic and the other is for improvement, and the difficulty of the questions is different.

The test paper [-] that Ji Shi did first was really not difficult. It was similar to the last mock test, only the last few questions made him a little stumped, but Ji Shi didn't spend too much time finishing it.

What is more difficult is the second set of test papers. There are pitfalls starting from the previous multiple-choice questions. The second multiple-choice question made Ji Shi wonder if the teachers in the physics teaching and research group have gone to learn the game of whack-a-mole. If you are not careful, you will definitely fall in.

Ji Shi didn't dare to be distracted at all.

He carefully reviewed and read the questions, and then carefully analyzed the meaning of the questions, carefully confirming that he jumped into the pit before he dared to confirm the options.

"Acceleration..."

Ji Shi rubbed his temples, feeling that he couldn't turn his head around for a while.

He stood up, stretched his legs, and went to his father's room to turn over some tea leaves to make boiling water. When the water temperature was a little cooler, Ji Shi gulped down a large glass of water, which made his forehead sweat a little. , he continued to do the question he just got stuck on.

His physics is currently between enlightened and not enlightened, and he still needs to push it further.

But regardless of whether he is enlightened or not, it is necessary to do a good job in each set of test papers and treat each question with a serious attitude. He is far from reaching the level where he can float, and he should be more pious in dealing with such things as learning.

"Accelerate from rest to 10m..."

The room was very quiet, and Ji Shi could clearly hear his own breathing.

The light in the room changed from bright to dark, and Ji Shi turned on the desk lamp, allowing his thoughts to become extremely calm at this moment.

His eyes, brain, fingers...every cell in his body is focused on one thing.

This is not an exaggerated description, but his most real state at the moment, [-]% focused, fully devoted, writing every question as a college entrance examination paper.

The problem that stuck him was finally solved, Ji Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to solve the next problem.

He felt that the feeling of doing difficult problems was also good, and he had the feeling that he was hitting some kind of exciting level, and Ji Shi knew very well that the joint entrance examination like last time is rare, and the college entrance examination questions will definitely not be that simple.

Graded subjects need more differentiation. If the questions are so simple that most students can get more than 100 points in the test, the Bs that are brushed down are likely to be those students who usually take A or A+.

He still needs some difficulty reserves.

This set of questions took a lot of time. After he finished writing a set of test papers, he realized that it was already dark outside, although it was not yet 5:[-].

His father came back from playing cards, and his mother was also there. The two found out that Ji Shi was doing his homework, so they didn't bother him. The scourge was almost gone by Ji Shi.

Ji Shi: "..."

He seems to be grabbing a little too much.

His father usually drinks cheaper tea, and only buys more expensive tea when he is free in winter. Ji Ma said that he asked for more expensive tea on the grounds that he does not smoke or drink.

In fact, in terms of weight, tea is definitely a super expensive product, but Ji's father usually buys dozens of grams, and it doesn't cost much to spread.

Seeing Ji Shi and hearing what he said, Father Ji was a little embarrassed, but still said to Ji Shi: "You don't know how to drink tea, next time you drink the one in the tin can, that's cheaper."

Then, he was glared at by Mama Ji viciously.

Ji's father shrunk his neck silently, his expression still stubborn: "I'm not wrong."

When they got together at night, they would go to grandma's house for dinner after Ji Shi finished writing the papers, and they would go there on Ji's father's motorcycle. The new motorcycle was more stable.

Ji Shi didn't bring his homework, but he brought his mobile phone and mp3, so he could listen to songs and listen to words on the road. He also regarded it as a kind of relaxation, so no matter which test he listened to, he was quite good. Enjoy the process of writing listening comprehension.
