Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Age of Struggle
For a long time, Zhang Yunqi's study life seemed to have become very peaceful, and many things were repeated over and over again, going to class, getting out of class, going back to class, going back to class, playing basketball, selling Tetris handhelds, delivering goods to dealers, eating, sleeping, and talking about the width of the girl's buttocks and the thickness of her breasts......
Campus life has its own fixed format, but he doesn't find it boring, because in this fixed format, the youthful classmates around him will always create many new details, one time and the other times.
At such an old age, it is always easy to be satisfied.
This basketball game is not the same as the last time I played basketball, as long as the person is changed, or as long as the ball rolls into the basket, the big guy will never see playing basketball twice as a repetitive activity, and even if he feels repetitive, it will still be interesting, just like a child is interested in a fixed game of Tetris.
As the midterm exams approached, even the students who were usually hanging out became extremely diligent at this time, with students hurrying with books and eating in the cafeteria.
Zhang Yunqi wakes up early, and every day before dawn, when he gets up and goes out for a run, he can see students reading in the morning all corners of the school, and in the middle of the night, under the street lamps and toilets, a large number of people holding books gathered.
In fact, we have to admit that China's 90s was an era of success through struggle, and when he was a child, he most often heard the words: "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world." In the 90s, the remarks of "my father is Li Gang" were unimaginable, which was tantamount to admitting the shame of not working hard! In later generations, this has become a commonplace thing, and even worth showing off.
The environment is very contagious.
In this kind of key high school where heroes are judged by grades, the tense atmosphere of the eight-school alliance joint high school entrance examination also distracted Zhang Yunqi's passion for selling handheld computers, although his goal is relatively simple, to be a middle school student with acceptable grades, but middle school students also have to get points.
Other subjects are okay, he learns very smoothly, rarely encounters hurdles that can't be passed, only English, his foundation is too poor, it is very difficult to gnaw, sometimes he really wants to write a letter to the old men of the Ministry of Education, telling them that the motherland is vast, enough for their own toss, there is no idea of going to the other side of the ocean to make trouble, learn this thing for birds?
Of course, he just thinks about it, and it's useless to write, the three major crazes in the early 90s, the study abroad fever, the sea fever, and the English fever, many people rely on English to cheat and eat and drink. The current reality is that if you don't have good English, you have to put in more effort than others.
Zhang Yunqi's goal is very simple, pass! Don't let Jiang Lihua get the opportunity to feed him.
So he got up half an hour earlier than usual, joined the morning reading team after running every day, memorized until half past seven and went directly to the classroom to read early, studied step by step during the day, delivered goods to the handheld dealer at noon, and used all the time for evening self-study to learn English. Every day, he was the last to leave the classroom.
After a while, he felt tired, but he also felt fulfilled, and it may be difficult for many people to get up at six o'clock, memorize words, and calm down...... But there are always some people who can get up at five o'clock, memorize six words a day, and patiently read a book, and no one has superpowers, so what do they rely on?
In class 168, the best English is the first meeting, and Zhang Yunqi asked her when he didn't understand something.
At first, she was a little surprised at first sight, from the question Zhang Yunqi asked, she could feel that his English foundation was indeed a little poor, but she knew that Zhang Yunqi was the champion of the high school entrance examination, and it was unlikely that the champion of the high school entrance examination would be biased, but she was a girl who listened to other people's privacy, and she was very attentive when she tutored Zhang Yunqi.
Once in the evening self-study, the first time I took the finished "Thorn Bird" to Zhang Yunqi to return the book, Zhang Yunqi happened to have an English topic, so he pulled the first meeting to ask for advice.
When she was tutoring, she saw a copy of "Reminiscences" on Zhang Yunqi's desk for the first time, so she borrowed it again, and after a while, when she came to return the book, she saw that Zhang Yunqi had another copy of "Red Letters" on his desk...... Since then, she has never squatted in a bookstore to read a book.
I don't know when it started, during the evening self-study, Chujian began to habitually sit in Wang Xiaokai's seat, study with Zhang Yunqi, tutor Zhang Yunqi in English, but most of the time, the two are busy with their own things, occasionally chatting, talking about those books that are beneficial to life, and those ethereal dreams in youth.
Time flies, and it's November in the blink of an eye.
In a self-study class on November 5, Lin Yueying, the class leader, received a form and pasted it on the wall, saying that it was the allocation table for the city's first mid-term middle school examination.
The classmates all surrounded them, trying to find their own examination room, Zhang Yunqi and Wang Xiaokai and his group didn't go to see it, because Lin Yueying had already read the examination room allocation table, she reported the examination room of the group, and everyone's examination room was very low, basically ranked between No. 15 and No. 35.
The examination room for the examination of the first middle school in the city has always been allocated according to the results, and the first six examination rooms are basically occupied by students in the subject-level class and the key class, like the ordinary class of 168, there are one or two who enter, which is really as precious as the national treasure panda.
There is only one such national treasure giant panda in class 168: when I first met, she was in the sixth examination room. This is not surprising, no one in their group was surprised, what surprised Lin Yueying and Yu Xiaorui was that Zhang Yunqi was actually in the last examination room, and he was the top student in the high school entrance examination.
Zhao Han glanced at Zhang Yunqi, who was sitting in the position doing English questions, and said casually: "Zhang Yunqi, why are you in the last examination room?"
Zhang Yunqi looked up at Zhao Han.
He realized that he was the top student in the high school entrance examination, and the bad thing had already leaked, otherwise Zhao Han would not have asked him such a question.
Their small circle is put aside every day and is nonsense, but except for the first meeting, he has the deepest impression of this Zhao Han, who looks like a flight attendant, with high legs, long waist, thin chest and big chest, and is very mature, and has his own ideas.
He smiled and replied, "I don't know. ”
"I'll go! Yunqi, are you really stupid or fake stupid, aren't you just getting bad grades? Yang Wei, who was lying on the desk and turning the pen, complained.
He is the oil bottle in the class, he came in with the construction fee, and the three people in the entire 168 class are in the last examination room, he, Zhao Han, Zhang Yunqi, so he feels very faceless, and has quite a lot of opinions on the behavior of arranging the examination room according to the results, and said: "In our first middle school, everything really looks at the score ranking, the test has to look at the score ranking, and the seat has to look at the score ranking. ”
Wang Xiaokai scoffed: "Don't tease viagra, if you really line up to go to the toilet according to your grades, with your grades, maybe the will be dried by the wind in the crotch of your pants, and you are still 108,000 miles away from the toilet door." ”
Yang Wei almost fainted: "You are an immortal! I don't give you the right to squat in the pit and, and I don't let people live!"
