Chapter 1: Calendula High School (Collect!)
A.D. 1998, China Binhai.
Under the heavy rain, the coastal citizens all returned home early, they turned on the TV, ate snacks, and sat with each other to discuss today's interesting facts.
There were occasional cars speeding down the empty road, and the stagnant water on the side of the road was crushed and flying, but fortunately there were no pedestrians on the side of the road.
The bars on the side of the road have also closed early, but the bustling coastal area is exceptionally quiet tonight, only the roadside signal lights are still waiting for the last bit of prosperity in the coastal city under the colorful rain.
After a tiring day, taking a comfortable bath at this time may be the most comfortable moment for everyone every day, but even so, there are still people who do not relax to guard this metropolis.
A shrill siren sounded on the empty road, and two police cars were escorting an ambulance.
Inside the car was a young and simple couple, the woman was lying in the car with a big belly, her amniotic water had broken, and the child was about to be born.
Fortunately, the road was unimpeded, the pregnant woman was safely sent into the delivery room, along the way Lao Lin held the woman's hand, and now he is thirty-five years old to welcome his first child, no matter what the child is, he will give everything he has.
But God made a kind joke with him, this fetus is actually a dragon and phoenix fetus.
"Congratulations to you, Mr. Lin, this is my brother and that is my sister. A nurse pointed.
Lao Lin looked at the two crying children, a sense of happiness overflowed, he pinched his sister's little face, the round little face was flushed, it must be a beauty embryo in the future.
Lao Lin looked at his brother again, and his brows furrowed instantly, only to see the child lying on the bed as if he was asleep, and his mouth was still panting.
"Doctor, doctor, why doesn't this kid cry?" shouted Lao Lin.
It can be seen that although the two children were born at the same time, the boy is much smaller than the girl, although the boy's mouth is open, he seems to be out of breath, and his little face is purple and red.
The doctor hurriedly ran over, and after some rescue and examination, the boy was finally carried into the nursery cabin, and the doctor replied, saying that the child's lung function was not good, and he might have asthma, and there was no remedy, so he could only pay more attention.
After a long period of treatment, the boy's life was saved, but it also burned the root of the disease. Lao Lin and his wife felt very guilty in their hearts, the child was born and failed to give him a good body, and after many years, they also sought medical treatment everywhere, and they could not cure the boy's asthma, so it continued until the two children graduated from junior high school.
Lao Lin is the owner of a hardware store in a building materials city in Binhai, and his income is not rich, but it is more than enough to support two. Lao Lin and his wife are not literate people, and their two children are very simple in naming them, the elder brother is called Lin Dong, and the younger sister is called Lin Yue.
One night, the two children seemed to have fallen asleep, but Lao Lin and his wife tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
After a long time, the woman said: "Lao Lin, no matter how much we save money, we can't save the school money of the two children, the calendula high school in the coastal area must let the two children in!"
Marigold High School is an aristocratic high school in Binhai City, and it is also the school with the best education level in Lincheng, the tuition fee for one academic year is 100,000, and the two children add up to 200,000, which is like a heavy burden for the not too wealthy Lin family.
Lao Lin sat on the edge of the bed, the cigarettes in his hand were one after another, he also wanted the children to go to school in calendula, so the cigarettes he smoked changed from 18 Yellow Crane Towers to 7 Hongta Mountain.
"Yueyue's grades are not bad, she also won the district champion in the high school entrance examination this time, but the boss's ......" The woman interrupted his words when she heard this kick on Lao Lin's leg.
"Didn't the director of Calendula High School say that Yueyue is the top student in the district and can be tuition-free. The woman said.
"You just think about this, and you don't want to think about how bad the boss's grades are, there are still 207 points away from the minimum score for admission, this point is 500 yuan, and the poor score has to be made up with money, you calculate how much it costs yourself!" Lao Lin said angrily.
When the woman heard this, she instantly frowned and scolded angrily: "I don't care, Lin Dong is your own son, if you don't care, I will divorce you!"
was yelled at by the woman, Lao Lin's mood was in a mess at this moment, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and then turned off the light, and the room became pitch black.
The sound insulation of the house is not good, and the conversation between Lao Lin and his wife was heard by Lin Dong passing by the bathroom, and all the words of his parents entered his ears.
Lin Dong also knows and knows that he is not a learner, people say that twins have a lot in common, but Lin Dong and his sister are the opposite in many ways. Lin Dong's health is very poor, but his sister is in good health, Lin Dong does not eat coriander, but her sister likes to eat it, Lin Dong's academic performance is very poor, and his sister is the top student in the district in the high school entrance examination......
So people invisibly attribute the good to Lin Yue, but push the bad to Lin Dong, which also leads to a huge difference in the personalities of the brother and sister. Lin Dong always looks taciturn, while his sister Lin Yue is very lively.
Although the two have very different personalities, it does not prevent Lin Dong from becoming a pet sister maniac, he heard the conversation of his parents outside the house, and the next morning Lin Dong found his father Lao Lin and asked to go to vocational school.
When Lao Lin heard his son's petition, he frowned, became angry, and directly gave Lin Dong a resounding slap in the face, and Lin Dong didn't dare to mention going to vocational school after that. In this way, the brother and sister were sent to the best aristocratic high school in the city - Marigold School by Lao Lin.
Of course, Lin Dong's entry into Calendula High School also cost a huge price, and the school committee rewarded Lin Yue with 50,000 yuan, which was also used to offset Lin Dong's tuition, and Lao Lin paid 160,000 yuan for his son's tuition.
However, Lin Dong himself didn't know about this matter, but it had already spread in school. There is a story in the school about a poor family who paid a huge amount of tuition for their unsuccessful son.
The freshmen were very happy to meet at the beginning of school, but Lin Dong lay on the table without saying a word, and the freshmen all gathered around to discuss what they had seen and heard about the school.
At this time, a girl in a pure white dress and white stockings said proudly: "Hello, my name is Ye Wenwen, my father is a famous real estate developer in Lincheng District, and we will be classmates in the future!"
This girl named Ye Wenwen showed off her father unabashedly, and several girls next to her also exclaimed with envy.
"Hello Ye Wenwen, my name is Chen Tong, and my dad is the owner of Haowei International Hotel in Nanzhou City. ”
"Cut, what are the people from the next city doing here, are there no teachers in the schools in Nanzhou anymore?" said a girl with a roll of her eyes.
Chen Tong was deflated, and the seemingly friendly self-introduction was actually just a means of showing off himself. Calendula High School is a well-known aristocratic high school in the country, and those who can come here to study are either rich or expensive, not to mention the little rich boss, it is not uncommon for the children of the richest man in the provincial capital to come here.
Lin Dong and Lin Yue were lucky to be assigned to the same class, Lin Yue always likes to stick to his brother, and even pick a seat next to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was bored lying on the desk, while Lin Yue on the side was fiddling with Lin Dong's hair with interest, one would make it into an explosive head, and the other would make it into a chicken nest, and Lin Dong, the pet sister madman, didn't mind it.
Lin Dong lay on the table and listened to the self-introduction of the arrogant people around him, and felt a little inferior in his heart, compared to the children of those big officials, his parents were just individual owners of a hardware store in a building materials city, but fortunately, there was this sticky sister who had been with him.
"Hey, did you hear a rumor?" one boy shouted.
"What rumors?" everyone asked.
"I heard that there was an unfilial son who insisted on coming to our calendula high school, but his father couldn't resist him, and finally emptied his family and spent more than 300,000 yuan, I heard that this person seems to be surnamed Lin, what is Lin Dong!"
This sentence reached Lin Dong's mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he didn't dare to look up at the person who spoke, closing his eyes tightly to try to stop the tears of grievance from flowing out.
Lin Yue noticed her brother's abnormality, and she tried to hold her brother's head in her arms to comfort him, trying to calm him down.
"This person must not be assigned to our class, otherwise he will lose his face in one class. ”
......
The people around were still discussing fiercely, no one looked at Lin Dong, I don't know who spread the rumors, and they had added fuel and vinegar to such a point.
"I'm sorry sister, for disgrace to you. Lin Dong said apologetically.
"Don't be like this, brother, it's not your fault, see how I teach them to help you get angry!"
Lin Yue got up and went but was stopped by Lin Dong, Lin Dong looked at Lin Yue and shook his head and said, "I'm used to it." ”
How many times can people get used to it? Sometimes inadvertent words hurt people more than the sharpest sword, and Lin Dong has experienced too much of this situation.
Jingle Bell ......
The class bell rang, as the first class of the school year, of course, it was the self-introduction of teachers and students. But in this marigold high school, a class of self-introduction has become a feast of mutual comparison, and Lin Dong can't hide from it.
Three seconds after the bell rang, a well-built, uniformed woman walked into the classroom with the Calendula High School logo embroidered on her chest.
"Hello students, I am your homeroom teacher named Xia Anran, teaching you English, you can call me Teacher Xia. New students in the new semester, our Calendula High School is once again lively, and I invite the students to introduce themselves one by one and get to know each other. When the woman finished speaking, she patted the desk of the first classmate in the first row.
This classmate is a boy, he stood up and said: "My name is Xu Zichu, I love shooting, I like to play with SLR cameras, my father is the largest real estate boss in Binhai, worth more than one billion!"
A simple sentence was full of the smell of fire and medicine, and the boy proudly raised his head and looked at every student in the classroom, which was a self-introduction, and it was completely a demonstration to others.
Then the second classmate got up, and he said proudly: "My name is Du Fei, and I am also the eye of our Binhai City Lincheng District High School Entrance Examination!"
As soon as the words fell, Teacher Xia took the lead in applauding, and the whole class was instantly overwhelmed by applause.
At this time, Xia Anran said: "Students, not only the leader, but also the champion of Lincheng District is also in our class!"
"Who!" Du Fei asked loudly.
The other classmates didn't know, but Lin Dong himself knew that this champion was not his sister? And this Du Fei looked like someone else had snatched his champion, and Lin Dong was even more disgusted with this person than the first classmate!
