The next morning, the playground of Zhengyang No. 13 Middle School was crowded with a large number of people early.

There are students, there are parents.

The crowd gathered in twos and threes.

On occasions where parents are present, the students' performance is a little restrained, and the parents are talking about their children and learning, and the parents of good students are naturally the focus.

Lin Xiaoqing's mother, Zhao Hongjuan, was surrounded by several parents in the third class.

Zhao Hongjuan is wearing a floral dress, her outstanding figure is fully revealed, she has her hair coiled, glasses, and a polite temperament, standing with Lin Xiaoqing, no one can imagine that she is a mother and daughter.

At this time.

Zhao Hongjuan is talking about her daughter's grades, "Our Xiaoqing Chinese and English are all good, but science is poor, and mathematics and physics always pull points." ”

"I'm worried. Now that I'm in my third year of high school, it's too late to chase after her, I'm going to sign her up for a cram school, it's just another night, I'm right, gold medal teacher ......"

Lin Xiaoqing stood next to her, pretending to be smiling.

Zhao Yi passed by and Lin Xiaoqing waved his hand, and was about to walk away when he was stopped.

"Zhao Yi!"

Lin Xiaoqing saw Zhao Yi, as if she saw a life-saving benefactor, she interrupted Zhao's mother's speech, and said with a warm introduction, "This is my classmate Zhao Yi." Today he also gave a speech, and the speech was well written. ”

The scrutinizing gaze of a group of parents pressed over, and Zhao Yi felt the pressure.

He is different from other students.

During the day, his parents went to work, and he didn't tell his family at all.

No parents, a light body.

Zhao Hongjuan asked very enthusiastically, "Zhao Yi! I remember, our family Xiaoqing said that your academic performance is very good, right?"

Zhao Hongjuan thinks that being able to give a speech on stage must prove that her academic performance is good.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yi looked at Lin Xiaoqing suspiciously, and Lin Xiaoqing rolled her eyes to indicate that she hadn't said it.

A bearded male parent suddenly smiled and said, "If you want to say that Zhao Yi is a child, he can speak and do things, and he will be capable in the future!"

The implication is that you can't learn.

Zhao Yi turned his head over.

Familiar.

After pondering for a while, I remembered that it was Sun Liang's father.

Hearing that Zhao Yi was not studying well, the parents suddenly lost interest.

Zhao Hongjuan was a little embarrassed and answered, "It's my third year of high school, and I have to study hard for a year." ”

"yes! It's my third year of high school!"

"It's the last year, and it's too late if you don't learn!"

"If you work hard for a year, you may be able to get a bachelor's degree, and you can get three books if you don't ......

Zhao Yi was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, he glanced at Lin Xiaoqing hatefully, and then asked Sun Zhiguodao, "Uncle, where is Sun Liang?"

Sun Zhiguo pointed in one direction, "Over there, this kid doesn't want to stand with me." ”

"I'm going to find Sun Liang!"

Before the words fell, Zhao Yi hurriedly walked away.

"Class 1, far left!"

"Class 3, this way!"

When the assembly is about to start, each class teacher stands in a fixed position and asks the students to sit together, with the parents' positions corresponding to the students' side.

The boys in the class went upstairs and helped carry the stools to the playground.

Parents have stools, and students stand.

When the principal came to the stage to speak, Zhao Yi simply pulled Sun Liang to the side, sat on the spare stool, and couldn't see it in front of the crowd.

The third-year high school conference of Zhengyang No. 13 Middle School is nothing more than several processes.

The first is the principal's speech.

The second person to take the stage is the head of the grade, who makes a report and summary of the results of the entire grade and praises those students with excellent grades.

Then it's time for the student presentations.

The first to come to the stage was Cui Wei from the seventh class of liberal arts, Cui Wei is tall and handsome, plays football and basketball very well, is good at sports, and the only thing he is not good at is studying.

It was also the first time for Cui Wei to give a speech on behalf of students, and he was obviously a little nervous, especially since there was a large group of parents in the audience, and the gaze of hundreds of people was under great pressure.

When he went up, he lowered his head and read the manuscript, without even raising his head in the process.

Parents are also talking.

"Why is Cui Wei? With his grades, count down? Not to mention the undergraduate examination, it's all luck to be able to go to a junior college!"

It's still good.

Some parents have a very poisonous mouth, and one sentence can suffocate people to death, "Look at what he said, 'take an oath on behalf of the third-year high school students and study hard in the last year', does he represent all the senior high school students? and still study hard? He took our children to play!"

"His manuscript is copied, I still believe in the change of people who say it......"

Zhao Yi's face darkened when he listened.

Speaking from the heart, Cui Wei's speech was not bad, the content of the speech was very exciting, the words were clear, and there was a little feeling, but his own grades were too poor, he was a small celebrity in the thirteenth middle school, and many parents knew that his grades were not good.

If the grades are not good, how can I represent all students?

The grades are not good, and no matter how sensational the things written, they are all fake, big, and empty!

Zhao Yi is about to take the stage, and the theme of his speech is to talk about ideals and life, and with his achievements, it must be 'fake, big, and empty'.

That's embarrassing!

At the end of Cui Wei's speech, the applause from the audience was sparse, that is, a group of familiar classmates, who applauded.

The host teacher shouted into the microphone, "Next, I invite Zhao Yi, the student representative of the third class of high school, to give a speech on stage!"

In the third class, a group of people looked at Zhao Yi.

"Zhao Yi, it's your turn!" Sun Liang pushed Zhao Yi.

"Hurry up!"

"Go up, you must be stronger than Cui Wei!

Lin Xiaoqing was next to Zhao Yi, bowing her head to the manuscript and constantly carrying it, seizing the time to sharpen the gun, she was ready to take off the script and go on stage.

Zhao Yiyi gritted his teeth and stood up, stretched out his hand and handed the manuscript to Lin Xiaoqing.

"How?"

Lin Xiaoqing took the manuscript and was a little unclear, so she heard Zhao Yi say with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'll send it to you, no charge!"

He stepped onto the podium.

There were more than 500 people on the playground, including teachers, students, and even school security guards and commissary owners.

Zhao Yi walked briskly and stopped under the flagpole - the most conspicuous position, he turned around and raised his head to face the audience, the corners of his mouth curled an arc, and he couldn't see the slightest nervousness.

He picked up the microphone and teased him like an audition, "I'm Zhao Yi from Class 3, you all know me, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know me, you will know each other today." ”

"Hula ......"

The audience burst into laughter, and some students shouted, "Yes!

Zhao Yi then came to the beginning, "Today I am a representative to give a speech, it is very stressful! For the first time in three years of high school! Here, I would like to thank the leaders and teachers for their trust." He bowed slightly.

The teachers in the front row looked at each other and got a good impression - this student was not nervous at all and had a much better mentality than his peers.

"To be honest, I don't want to be a representative. ”

Zhao Yi's tone was very sincere, "According to the theory of grade representation, I only rank more than a dozen in the class, and at most represent the classmates with worse grades than me." ”

"So, I'm going to give a speech on behalf of the students in the middle and bottom of the rankings. ”

"Hula~~~"

All the students came in spirit.

The teachers in the front row looked at each other and looked at Teacher Sun, who frowned slightly, what she heard was different from what she saw.

Zhao Yi entered the main content, "As a student in the middle of the grades, I have already felt the pressure, the pressure from my parents, the pressure from the school, but most importantly, the worry about the future. ”

"At our age, it's very sad to go to school. ”

"Back 10 or 20 years ago, college students were a rare breed and they were assigned jobs after graduation, but now they have to find jobs on their own. Looking to the future, in a few years, when we graduate from college, maybe for an average position, you will face more than nine competitors. ”

"It's not a fantasy, it's a reality that must be faced. ”

Zhao Yi's expression became serious, "Our students in the middle and lower reaches of the grades, who go to an ordinary undergraduate or junior college, have any competitiveness in society after graduation?"

"Whew~~"

The audience turned heads and ears.

No one thought that Zhao Yi's speech would say this.

Zhao Yi paused for a while, picked up the microphone and continued, "Actually, this is just normal social competition and work competition, not sad. ”

"There are many sorrows that we will encounter, for example, when you work hard to get into university, get your diploma, and look for a job, you suddenly find that your boss is your classmate......"

"That's right, it's your classmate who dropped out of school at home because you didn't want to go to class in elementary school!"

"Hahaha......"

There was a lot of laughter.

A similar example is just a casual joke ten years later, and it is still very novel now.

Everybody was in good spirits.

Zhao Yi continued, "After you graduate from college, go to a first-tier city, work hard for several years, and finally have a place, but when you return to your hometown, you find that your childhood playmates who didn't go to school have all become millionaires. ”

"It's not a joke. ”

"There are many reasons, either they opened a store and made money, or they were demolition households, or they were born in a wealthy family, don't they have a saying? It is better to have a good father than to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well. ”

"Hahaha~"

The scene was a little uncontrollable.

Zhao Yi's tone was still flat, as if he was just saying something very ordinary, and his clear voice resounded throughout the playground, "When that time comes, maybe we will have questions: It takes so much time, money and energy to study, but what is the point?"
