Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

Ji Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he finished the additional questions. The difficulty of the additional questions was lower than that of the unified paper. Although Ji Shi struggled with the last question for a while, he still made it.

However, the feeling of exhaustion did not dissipate until he left the examination room. When the wind blew, Ji Shi sneezed against the wind, and his body suddenly became cold.

Fortunately, he brought a thermos, so he immediately opened it and took a sip.

Yao Meng couldn't help being a little worried: "Are you all right?"

Ji Shi shook his head: "It's too nervous to do the questions in the examination room."

He sneezes again.

Ji Shi reckoned that he might have to pass the exam with a cold.

"The last two big questions this time are really troublesome." Yao Meng frowned, "Have you solved the last question yet?"

Ji Shi nodded: "Finally, the speed of life and death has been solved."

"I don't have one. The card has been stuck there and I can't straighten it out. At the end of the paper, I can only lose my pen." Yao Meng scratched his hair, "There is no way."

Almost from the first exam, the teachers in Z Middle School have been telling them to throw away their pens in time after the exam bell rings, and writing after the exam is tantamount to cheating.

However, in the examination room, the hopelessness of not being able to finish a question in time is still very strong, which is worse than the feeling of not being able to do it at all. Ji Shi imagined that in that situation, it is indeed easier for people to lose their minds.

"Then your estimated score is perfect again?" Yao Meng glanced at Ji Shi, "There shouldn't be any difficult questions ahead, right?"

Yao Meng considered it from his own point of view. Based on his experience in doing this test paper, the filling in the blanks in the front and the big questions in the back are both difficult, but except for the last one, there should be no other questions that can be difficult for Ji Shi.

After all, he and Ji Shi had been competitors for so long, and they were very familiar with each other's strengths.

"I'm not sure." Ji Shi pulled the zipper of the down jacket to the top, and took out a scarf from his bag to wrap it around, "I didn't look at the previous question carefully."

"It's almost done."

Ji Shi also agrees with this point, if the math can be calculated, it can basically be correct, if it can't be calculated, then it's really not, and there are relatively few clerical errors.

After the exam, Yao Meng went straight back to the dormitory, while Ji Shi went downstairs and met Zeng Tairan and the others at the stairs.

Just after finishing the exam, Zeng Tairan and Huang Yaqiong were complaining about the math problem this time, saying that the last question of his was left blank, and the penultimate question of the little question also failed to calculate the result.

"What about the two of you, should you figure it out?" Huang Yaqiong squinted at Ji Shi and Zhou Weile.

Ji Shi chose to remain silent, Zhou Weile looked up at the sky, and started to whistle as soon as he pouted.

"Okay, stop talking, I already know." Huang Yaqiong waved her hand, "People who are good at mathematics are really annoying."

The key point was that she felt powerless towards Ji Shi and Zhou Weile's mathematics, as if she couldn't learn from each other no matter how hard she tried, she was very angry.

But gas doesn't help either.

She usually practiced the same test papers and used similar reference books. She even spent more time on mathematics than the people around her, but she never passed them.

Although this group of people is also the same in language.

But Huang Yaqiong was still a little upset. After all, her only subject was Chinese, and Ji Shi and Zhou Weile had more subjects than her, let alone Yao Meng.

I'm so angry!

It was still early after the exam, but it was almost dark, and it was gray outside. There were many parents who came to pick up their children standing under the street lamps, and the small vendors across the road were also shouting loudly.

Ji Shi and the others went to the stationery store to pick up stationery, not for this exam, but to buy it for the holidays. The stationery store at the door has the same holiday hours as theirs. The stationery store may open a little longer during the summer vacation, and during the winter vacation. Even the boss wants to go home early for the New Year.

Ji Shi bought two boxes of refills, loose-leaf paper and an automatic refill. Thinking of tomorrow's English test, he bought an extra eraser, just in case.

"Do you want to eat anything?" Zeng Tairan asked, "Candied haws?"

"Eat!" Huang Yaqiong replied loudly, "I want orange flavor."

"Where is Ji Shi?"

"Original will do."

The candied haws with hawthorns cost 1 yuan each, and the oranges cost 1 yuan. The boss’s car only has these two flavors. It’s not like any fruit can be put on the candied haws in the future.Of course, the types of fruits consumed by people in County Z are relatively scarce now, and they are all common fruits in winter, and there are no high-end products.

Zeng Tairan asked them if they would eat Mala Tang.

The owner of the Malatang stall is a familiar face. In summer, he cooks Liangpi cold noodles here, and in winter, he cooks Malatang and Oden. Although the stall is small, it is wrapped in tent cloth outside, so it is not cold for students to eat inside.

"I don't eat Malatang, I eat Oden." Huang Yaqiong replied, "If my mother sees me eating Malatang, she will definitely say me when I go back at night."

"I also eat oden, go home for dinner."

Zhou Weile's family got off work late today, so he was thinking about eating Mala Tang, but since Ji Shi and Huang Yaqiong both eat oden, he followed suit.

Several people chose some oden to eat. The oden at the door is better than the oden in the school cafeteria. Because of the strong spicy taste, the taste is closer to mala tang, and there are more kinds of ingredients in it, except for hot pot meatballs. , and kelp slices, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Ji Shi doesn't like meatballs, but only eats fungi and kelp slices.

"The math test paper this time is not too difficult, but I guess not many people can answer the last big question." Zhou Weile discussed the test in a low voice, "It took me a long time to solve it."

"I almost couldn't solve it." Ji Shi drank the spicy soup, and the numbness and heat of the soup made him feel much warmer. "I was so nervous in the examination room."

"Then I'm better." Zhou Weile smiled, "I'm more relaxed during the math test. I think I can solve it if I can solve it, and forget it if I can't solve it."

"The result is still solved." Huang Yaqiong sighed, "But I'm fine, I lost 7 points for the last big question, but the penultimate question should also be deducted 5 points, and the unified paper should be around 135 points Well, that's pretty much my normal level."

"I don't think I did very well in the exam, but I haven't passed the exam, so it doesn't matter." Zeng Tairan was the most casual among them, "And I think this monthly exam should have more points than last time."

Zeng Tairan insisted that this was the result of what he had learned in the small circle.

"Ji Shi, are you still going to class tonight?" Huang Yaqiong asked Ji Shi, "The teacher in my cram school has suspended classes."

"I stopped going to school until this Thursday." Ji Shi said, "The teacher sorted out the content of the three years of high school for us, and it should be improved next year."

"Your teacher is quite planned." Huang Yaqiong propped her chin with her hands.

"Just retired, after all." Ji Shi smiled, "I haven't adjusted to not having to go to work yet."

After a few people got into the shed and finished cooking Kanto, it was completely dark. Huang Yaqiong's mother called, and she waved to them and walked back to the school gate.

No one came to pick him up at Zhou Weile's house, so he found a familiar classmate to ride him back by tram, and in the end only Zeng Tairan and Ji Shi stood by the door with him for a while, until his father appeared.

Tomorrow's English, physics and chemistry exams are still three a day, not strictly following the requirements of the college entrance examination, the Jiangsu province college entrance examination has always been taken in three days.

Ji Shi was going to take chemistry class in the evening, but today he got out of school early and didn't need to study in the classroom. Even if he ate something at the school gate, he still had plenty of time after returning to the rental house.

He sneezed on his mother three times the moment he opened the door.

"Have a cold?" Ji's mother was a little worried, and when Ji Shi untied the scarf, she reached into Ji Shi's neck and probed, "It's a little damp on your body, take off your shoes when you go back, pour some water to soak your feet, water bottle There's a lot of water in there."

Ji Shi obeyed obediently.

He could hear the sound of his mother chopping things with a knife in the house. After a while, when he was drying his feet, her mother came in with a big bowl, not the small one usually used for eating, but a The big bowl to hold the soup was huge. Ji Shi looked down and saw that the bottom of the bowl was covered with shredded ginger, and the smell of ginger overflowed.

"Drink while it's hot." Mama Ji patted him on the back, "Drink."

Ji Shi: "..."

"There's still brown sugar in the kitchen if you think it's too spicy, I'll make you a bowl with brown sugar later."

Ji Shi quickly refused.The smell of shredded ginger was enough for him to feel uncomfortable, but it was still within his acceptable range. If he added some brown sugar, he would not be able to bear the sweet and spicy taste.

But I have to say that his mother likes to innovate in dishes, although most innovations end in failure.

But she really likes to pour ginger tea for Papa Ji and him. It’s okay for Ji Shi, knowing that the smell of ginger is too strong for him to bear, and he puts a lot of water. She is not so kind to Papa Ji. Basically, it’s half ginger and half water, and you can drink it well. People's mouths can swell up.

But after drinking the whole bowl of ginger tea, Ji Shi felt that the chill in his body had dissipated a lot, except for the trouble of going to the toilet non-stop.

The toilet is wet and cold, and the body is cold after staying for a long time, so I don’t drink water often at night in winter, because it is too painful to go to the toilet wrapped in a down jacket in the middle of the night.

At least he still wears a down jacket now, so winter is not so difficult. When he was a child, he didn't even have a down jacket. He was wrapped in a cotton jacket with three layers of sweaters inside and outside, and he couldn't move his arms.

"One more bowl." Mama Ji pushed another bowl of tea for Ji Shi, "Just sweat a little more. I'll take you to the teacher's house tonight."

After taking care of Ji Shi for so many days, she knew that Ji Shi would never miss the evening tutoring, not to mention that it didn't rain or snow today, he still went out wrapped in a poncho in the previous rainy and snowy days.

Ji's mother actually loves him very much, both distressed and happy.

She knows that Ji Shi is studying well now, working hard and working hard, but she doesn't think that the child's grades can be achieved casually. This day, adults don't want to go out, and would rather stay at home and watch TV, especially at night. It was cloudy and cold outside, and Ji Shi would complain about the hardship of studying when he was in junior high school, but now he doesn't even say a word.

Since the child is working so hard, of course she has to support him and understand him.

Ji's mother has lived here for a few months, and her horizons have been slightly broadened. The people who rented with them, including the people in the back row and front row, have college entrance examinations in every family, no matter whether they are in good conditions or not. Too bad, most of the lights are turned off at one or two o'clock at night.

It's already early to rest.

When Ji Shi was in the first year of high school, he often complained to them that he was too competitive and he couldn't learn from others. Ji's mother thought he was lazy and refused to learn. Only now did he know that Ji Shi was not lying.

Don't other parents feel sorry for their children?In fact, this is not the case, but the hardship of the third year of high school is necessary, and everyone has suffered through it.

In the evening, Ji Shi seldom let his mother take him to the teacher's house by bicycle. Although he was much warmer after drinking ginger tea, he was still hot. Go home and pick him up after he finishes class.

When Ji Shi's junior high school was close to his home, he didn't have this kind of treatment. He would live on campus, and Ji's mother came once a week to bring him some snacks and daily necessities, and never worried about his studies. , other parents were watching their children come out at the school gate, but Ji's mother didn't come directly, she said that she was afraid that Ji would be more nervous when she came, which would affect his performance.

Ji's mother rides the battery car slowly, she is not very familiar with the nearby road conditions, Ji Shi is worried that she will be lost while riding.

"I still know the way." Ji's mother was not convinced, "If I really don't know the way, I will go to the traffic police on the side of the road and ask him to take me back."

This is also a good idea, Ji Shi thinks it is feasible.

This class is also the last content of this semester's tutoring. As long as Ji Shi comes to another class, the tutoring will be over. So at this time, the teachers in the tutoring class did not talk about some profound theories, but just taught them the basics. content again.

At this time, probably because of the final exam, there are not many people who come to the cram school to make up lessons, except for Ji Shi, there are only a few students who live nearby.

However, the benefit of fewer people and fewer people can take up more time for individuals, especially when Ji Shi came here with the test papers he did before, and just took the opportunity to ask all the questions he could ask.

He felt that the cost-effectiveness of the class he signed up for was quite high. Of course, even if the cost-effectiveness was high, it would still be a heavy burden for his parents.

The class lasted until 10 o'clock, and when I walked out of the warm room of the teacher's house, it was already so cold that I couldn't help shaking my legs.Mother Ji stood on the side of the road holding the battery and brought him a hot water bottle: "Is it cold?"

"Mom, are you cold too?"

"I'm fine." Mama Ji smiled, "I'm wearing gloves and a scarf, so it's not cold at all."

Ji Shi got into the back seat of the car in silence.

It must be cold, and Ji Shi knows very well that his mother has chilblains on her hands and ears, and it itches in winter. Applying chilblain ointment is useless. His mother is usually busy at home, even a few dollars I can't bear to buy a single hand cream.

Ji Shi bought it, and she blamed him for wasting money.

She is very picky on herself, but she is very generous to Ji Shi, especially when it comes to studies. She and Ji's father have the same attitude. They said that they have suffered from being uneducated, so they don't want Ji Shi to live the same way as them Life.

The cold wind was howling outside, and Ji Shi was sitting behind, but his fists were clenched unconsciously.

He must work hard, try harder.

When he got home, the lights in the rental house were still on. Ji Shi wanted to review his English for a while, but was ordered to go to bed by Ji's mother: "If you don't feel well today, go to bed early, and let yourself relax a little bit."

Ji Shi listened obediently. Maybe he really caught a cold. He clutched the quilt and fell asleep after a while.

After falling asleep, he could still vaguely hear the sound of his mother tucking in the quilt and putting a hot water bottle on him, but Ji Shi was indeed sleepy, and he had already fallen into a deep sleep afterwards, and he slept until dawn the next day.

After waking up in the morning, he didn't feel the same chill as yesterday. Ji Shi had breakfast, put away his schoolbag, and trotted all the way to the school gate.

The gate of Z Middle School is still brand new, it should be wiped frequently, and there is a youthful feeling everywhere, when the site of Z Middle School is returned to No. [-] Middle School in the future, Ji Shi will feel as if the school has suddenly darkened, But it's no wonder that the campus had been around for more than ten years at that time, and it was impossible for him not to be old. He couldn't be as emotional as a poet who mourned the spring and autumn, and it would be too sour.

"Yo, Ji Shishi!"

Ji Shi couldn't help punching Zhou Weile: "Why did I see you at the school gate again?"

"I got it right." Zhou Weile smiled lightly, "But before I come here, I'll look back to see if I can meet someone I know. Sure enough, I met you again today."

The two walked in while chatting, but they didn't meet Huang Yaqiong today, and Zeng Tairan was not there. The two walked slowly to the stairs. When they first arrived at the school gate, they felt that there were quite a lot of people. Immediately there were fewer people, and the senior high school students were scattered in different examination rooms, and disappeared after a while.

"Are you feeling well today?" Zhou Weile asked, "Is your cold better?"

"I went back last night and drank water crazily. It's much better." Ji Shi sighed, "I hope I won't be so excited when I take the physics and chemistry exams."

"It's not necessary. With your level, it's absolutely possible." Zhou Weile patted him on the shoulder, "Didn't we discuss physics and chemistry before? You can definitely score higher than the last exam."

"I don't have any other requirements. A score of 100 in chemistry is enough." Ji Shi was also very helpless, "Unfortunately, I can't decide how much I will score in the test. It depends on my performance this time."

"No problem." Zhou Weile stretched out his fist and touched Ji Shi lightly, "Come on, I hope you can go to the first test room for this test."

Ji Shi smiled when he heard the words: "I would like to borrow your good words."

"My mouth is very bright, don't worry." Zhou Weile also smiled at him, "You are absolutely fine."
