walk through spring with you

On the way home, Xiao Zichong kept nagging Yan Ran: "First, you should pay attention when doing the questions, don't look around..."

Yan Ran was embarrassed and thought, Xiao Zichong really heard what the teacher reminded me, but he did not misunderstand that I wanted to copy his paper.

"Second, you usually pay more attention to your own affairs, don't think so divergently, and care about other people's affairs. Everyone's brain capacity is limited. If you always pay attention to other people's affairs, what will you do with your own affairs?"

Yan Ran had no choice but to nod quickly, and wanted to find an excuse for herself in shame, "I didn't pay attention to other people's affairs all the time, I just watched and listened to it with my eyes. It's impossible for me to know nothing about other people's affairs. "

Xiao Zichong gave him a sideways glance, not wanting to say anything to him.

He has no interest in other people's "likes" and love affairs, and he doesn't want to talk about them.

The two went to the unit building. Because of an accident on the second floor, in addition to the notice from the Public Security Bureau on the door, other residents went to temples and Taoist temples to ask for talismans to be pasted on it.

The two looked over, didn't say much, and hurried upstairs. After walking a few steps, Yan Ran couldn't hold back, and commented on the second floor: "Damn Cao Jun, but his little niece It's so pitiful. Alas..."

Xiao Zichong let him sigh without responding. When he reached the fourth floor, he broke up with Yan Ran and went up to the sixth floor by himself.

After Xiao Zichong arrived home first, his father returned home with the vegetables to cook.

Xiao Zichong was a little hungry. He peeled the pears by himself, saved half for his father, and ate the other half by himself. He sat in the living room in front of the TV while watching the news and another book on biology and medicine that his mother asked him to read. Basic books.

Xiao's father cooked rice in the electric rice cooker, and took the water spinach to the living room to choose vegetables. Watching his son listen to the news on the English channel and multi-tasking flipping through the books, he said, "I see that you are dual-purpose, and you don't care about everything. Not doing well."

Xiao Zichong snorted and said, "You're educating me while choosing the vegetables, isn't it two things at the same time? I'll eat the vegetables for a while, and there must be worms in the vegetables."

Father Xiao smiled: "Then you choose the vegetables."

Xiao Zichong turned his head away, he didn't want to do it.

Xiao's father: "You are a kid who doesn't work hard and doesn't know the five grains."

Xiao Zichong continued to flip through his book, and Xiao's father said, "I heard from your teacher Hou that the students in your class started to have conflicts just after the start of school?"

Teenage boys and girls with full-blooded vigor, in the experimental class, are all strong and sensitive. Students of this age are not easy to manage and teach.Whether it is the experimental class or the normal class, it is the same.

Xiao Zichong didn't like to tell his family about school affairs. He said, "It's okay. It's just a small matter."

Xiao's father said: "If there is anything, you have to tell the family. You children have limited experience, and you don't know that many small things will eventually cause big problems."

Xiao Zichong: "Oh."

Xiao's father: "It's perfunctory again."

Xiao Zichong: "I'm very hungry, cook quickly."

Papa Xiao: "..."

**

In the afternoon, there was another exam in full swing.

After the afternoon and evening exams, there are three subjects of mathematics, English, and chemistry. Only mathematics and English are given two class time for each, and the rest are completed in one class time.

The teachers stayed in the office to correct the papers that day, and Xiao's father had to work overtime in the office at night. Xiao Zichong didn't go home in time after evening class, but stayed in the classroom to read and write his study notes.

There are more boarding students in the school than day students. Even after the evening classes are over, there are still at least twenty people in the classroom.

Yan Ran originally wanted to go home, but seeing that Xiao Zichong was going to wait for his father in the classroom, he also stayed.

Someone was obsessed with the test results, and came to encourage Xiao Zichong, "You can go to the office to find your dad and see everyone's results."

The teaching building of the first year of high school is a "mouth-mouth"-shaped building, with an atrium in the middle, and four classrooms in the front and back buildings. , is the teacher's office, the teachers of all the classes on the whole floor are concentrated in this big office.

Xiao Zichong's father is the Chinese teacher of Class [-] and [-], and he happens to be in the office on this floor, with all the teachers of Class [-].

Xiao Zichong was reading a book with his head down, and he didn't want to pay attention to the few people who came to encourage him.

Yan Ran also looked at Xiao Zichong eagerly. He knew that he must have done very poorly in the exam this time, so he was in a heavy heart and had no intention of doing his own thing. He stayed in the classroom just to wait for Xiao Zichong.

The book Xiao Zichong was reading was called "The Book of Man", a book that Yan Ran had never heard of before. He also took a peek at the contents of the book and found that the sentences were difficult for him to understand. It is even more difficult for him to understand the content expressed in it.

Yan Ran thought, Xiao Zichong always looks at these boring and profound things, I don't know how he finds pleasure in them.

Seeing that Xiao Zichong didn't answer everyone's words, Yan Ran had no choice but to change the subject and say, "What is this book about?"

Xiao Zichong showed the cover of the book to Yan Ran: "Perspective of the Human Genome Project. That's what I'm talking about."

Yan Ran was confused and didn't know what the Human Genome Project was, but some other students knew about it, so they said, "Oh, I know, it is to sequence all human genes, right?"

Xiao Zichong nodded.

Yan Ran interjected at this moment, "Is it good-looking?"

Xiao Zichong showed a little smile: "Yes."

Xiao Zichong continued to read the book, ignoring everyone around him. Seeing that he did not agree to read the paper, everyone had to leave.

Yan Ran found that Xiao Zichong really liked reading this kind of books, and he was very happy to read them, but it was difficult for Yan Ran to get happiness from reading these books. Not only could he not get happiness, but he felt a headache instead.

What can I say to make him feel happy intuitively? He likes to watch TV and variety shows, but he is not allowed to watch more at home. He also likes to read some romance novels, but he is not allowed to read them at home, which are more exciting than these His brain, what makes him happy, is just being with Xiao Zichong like this, and looking sideways at him from time to time, he can be happy for a long time.

Xiao Zichong got up after reading more than half of the book, and Yan Ran immediately looked up at him, but Xiao Zichong ignored him and went straight out of the classroom.

Maybe he was going to the bathroom.

When Yan Ran withdrew his gaze, he found that many people in the classroom raised their heads and followed Xiao Zichong's figure with their eyes.

This is just the beginning of school, most of the students in the classroom are not doing any serious work, those who read magazines, comics, novels, listen to music with earphones, watch celebrity photos, read game guides, chat with others in a low voice, And although Yan Ran was previewing the textbook, he actually didn't read anything.

Xiao Zichong came back soon. While packing his schoolbag, he said to Yan Ran: "My dad doesn't know when the papers will be corrected. I'm going home. Do you want to go back together?"

Yan Ran hurriedly packed his schoolbag, feeling a little uncomfortable, and when he walked out of the classroom with Xiao Zichong, he told Xiao Zichong of his grievances: "I was originally here to stay and go with you. If you want to go, of course I will I'm going back with you. Why do you still ask me like that!"

Xiao Zichong was stunned by his complaint, looked at Yan Ran twice, and said: "Even if you are waiting for me, you may have other things to do later, let me ask you, okay? ?”

Yan Ran said: "Say it directly, let's go. Isn't this better?"

Xiao Zichong smiled and said, "You are serious, don't you like others to use a commanding tone to you?"

Yan Ran said in embarrassment: "Let's go, is this a command tone?"

Xiao Zichong nodded.

Yan Ran: "Where is the commanding tone, the commanding tone is, I order you to go."

Xiao Zichong: "..."

Yan Ran said seriously: "Let's go, it's an imperative sentence expressing a request."

Xiao Zichong raised his head and rolled his eyes towards the sky, "Okay."

Yan Ran: "It was originally an imperative sentence."

Xiao Zichong: "..."

**

The efforts of the teachers were very effective. The next day, the results of the entrance examination for all grade students were released, and the rankings were announced and posted on the display board in the lobby of the senior one teaching building.

The grades and rankings of each class are posted on the back wall of the classroom. Next to the grade list, there are class rules, cleaning and duty sheets printed by Xiao Zichong last night.

Xiao Zichong made it clear that after going to school with Yan Ran in the morning, Yan Ran arrived at school late, only a few minutes earlier than the start of the morning reading class.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw almost all the students crowded in the corner next to the blackboard at the back of the classroom.

Yan Ran asked the girls in the same class who squeezed back to their seats from behind, "What are you all looking at?"

When the girl heard Yan Ran's question, she ignored Yan Ran and turned her gaze to the side before sitting down in her seat.

Yan Ran: "..."

Yan Ran didn't understand why she ignored him. Being more sensitive, he always felt that the other party seemed to dislike him. After thinking about it, he didn't get entangled with this girl anymore. After putting down his schoolbag in his place, he also ran to the back See what's going on.

As soon as he approached the crowd and heard what everyone was talking about, he immediately understood what everyone was looking at.

The results of yesterday's preliminary examination have come down, and everyone is looking at the results.

Yan Ran's heart sank, knowing that he must not do well in the exam.

Many students who had read the grades gradually returned to their seats, and there were not many people who were still standing by the wall behind the class. When Yan Ran saw it, he felt so shy that his whole body became hot in an instant.

There are 56 students in the class, and he is at the bottom. Looking at the top of the report card, Xiao Zichong has a total score of 637, with full marks in mathematics, chemistry and physics, only Chinese and English are deducted a little.

He looked at himself again, except for English, he failed every other subject.

However, he originally thought that he would have a lot less points than No.2 from the bottom, but at this moment, he saw that this was not the case. No.2 from the bottom was only a dozen points more than him, and No.3 from the bottom was not much more than him. .

Yan Ran didn't dare to look at the report card any more, and quickly ran back to his seat, sat down, lifted the desk cover, and buried his head in the desk with a red face.

A classmate entered the classroom and said, "The grade ranking is posted on the display board next to the bathroom. Is anyone of you going to see it?"

Many people probably were shocked by the report card posted at the back of the classroom, and didn't want to see the grade ranking, but some people ran out of the classroom to check it.

Yan Ran's heart was cold, and he didn't want to see the grade rankings. He took out the Chinese textbook, resisted the tears that flooded his eyes, and began to recite the text.

Xiao Zichong came to the classroom early, his schoolbag was hung on the chair, but he didn't enter the classroom and return to his seat until the morning reading bell rang.

As he walked into the classroom, almost all the students in the class were looking at him, but Xiao Zichong didn't have the face of getting the first place in the exam, and sat calmly in his seat.

Yan Ran was too ashamed and embarrassed, so he had no intention of talking to Xiao Zichong.

After the Chinese teacher explained the scope of preview reading to all the students, he sat on the podium and read his own book, watching a group of students read in the morning.

During the morning reading, Yan Ran didn't say a word to Xiao Zichong, but Xiao Zichong looked at him a few times, but didn't say much.

The bell rang for the morning reading.

Xiao Zichong went to the podium and knocked on the desk. The lively classroom suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at him, not understanding what he was going to do.

Xiao Zichong said: "The class rules and duty schedule are posted at the back, please check them when you have free time. This is based on the results of the discussion early yesterday morning, but some students may have other opinions. If you have any comments, you can put them in writing, and I will hand them over to Mr. Hao for discussion. Do you have any comments?"

"No." Most people shook their heads and said no, and the rest was tacit consent.

Xiao Zichong glanced at Yan Ran's position. Because of embarrassment, Yan Ran buried his head under the desk cover again, and he couldn't see Yan Ran's face at all.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart, but with a serious face, he said, "I know everyone has read the results of the preliminary examination for the start of school yesterday. The results can't explain anything."

The students who didn't get the ideal grades were naturally grateful for Xiao Zichong's words of comfort, but the students who did well in the exam, some of them were very humble or really agreed with Xiao Zichong, so they agreed with his words, but There were also people who disagreed, and deliberately sneered in a low voice: "Pretend to be B again, deliberately modest, is it amazing to be the first in the grade?"

I don't know if Xiao Zichong has noticed all kinds of positive and negative feedback from everyone below, but he ignored them and continued: "This is just the starting point of our three years in high school, or the starting point of our future life. Our life is created and achieved by our efforts now and every minute and every second in the future. If you want to see a vast landscape, you have to climb a high mountain. In short, in the future, let’s work hard, Put all your thoughts on learning and improving yourself, and don't waste it on other things, such as jealousy, showing off, arrogance, comparison, and suppressing others. Being a better self is the most worthwhile time. Kant said that the world There are only two things in the world that can shake our hearts, one is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the lofty moral principles in our hearts. Pursuing the true meaning of the world and examining our own hearts is our pursuit."

Yan Ran raised his head from the desk when Xiao Zichong was halfway through his speech. He looked at Xiao Zichong, although he was still ashamed because he took the last place in the exam, he felt much better in his heart.

Some applauded Xiao Zichong's words, while others blushed in shame.

Xiao Zichong continued: "I won't waste everyone's time. The above is mainly to emphasize the class rules. Besides, our average score in the preliminary examination is lower than that of the second class. Teacher Hao may talk about this later."

Xiao Zichong got off the podium and returned to his seat. Immediately, people surrounded him, some wanted to ask questions, and some just wanted to surround him.

Yan Ran's mind was filled with Xiao Zichong's last sentence just now, "Our average score in the preliminary examination is lower than that of Class Two"——I held back the class!

Xiao Zichong quickly dismissed the surrounding classmates, and asked Yan Ran, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Yan Ran was on the verge of crying, feeling so uncomfortable that his brain could not function, but his legs had their own consciousness, and they automatically followed Xiao Zichong to the bathroom.

He came out of the toilet and saw Xiao Zichong who came out first was waiting for him. He walked over, and Xiao Zichong pulled him to the front of the grade ranking display board.

At this time, there were still many people around the display board. Xiao Zichong didn't look at the top piece of paper, but pointed to the middle piece of paper for Yan Ran to read: "Look, you got the 416th place in the exam."

Yan Ran was stunned. He only passed one subject, yet he was ranked 416th in the grade?

Xiao Zichong dragged him back to the classroom again, put his arms around his shoulders, and said very close to him, "Don't be sad. I went to Hao Yanzi's to see that your senior high school entrance examination scores ranked more than 600 in the whole grade. This time Didn’t you go up after more than 400 exams? Don’t compare yourself with other people in the class, you compare yourself with yourself before, that’s enough. Everyone has their own areas of expertise, you have to learn to recognize yourself.”

Yan Ran thought for a while, but he really didn't know what he was good at. He knew that Xiao Zichong was comforting himself. His eyes were red because he was moved by Xiao Zichong's care and gentleness, but he couldn't help complaining to himself: "Recognize yourself What?"

He doesn't feel like he has anything to deserve recognition for.

Xiao Zichong smiled, and said, "Recognize your efforts, recognize that you have indeed grown. For example, becoming daring to face yourself is the last one. Since it is already the worst, then it won't be worse in the future."

Yan Ran stared at him blankly, "I don't feel good at all."

Xiao Zichong blinked at the morning light shining into the classroom, and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."
