Chapter 17: Important Exams
After learning that he was "blackmailed", Su Mu was so angry that he wanted to beat him.
Usually because his family is poor, he is not generous, but Su Mu's character is not stingy, he likes to follow the AA system that has become popular in recent years, and he will always give himself his share of the money.
Of course, this is in the case of getting along with black or white students, such as class gatherings and parties, Chinese people do not like AA payment methods, unless it is a group dinner with a group of people who are not very familiar with each other, or there will always be individuals who need to bear all the expenses, most of them have to rush to pay each other, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, in the final analysis, it is mainly four words: death to save face, rather spend money than be ashamed.
McDonald's Su Mu can afford to invite him he is angry li ping'an didn t say anything slowly, his heart was almost dying, his eyes were still looking downstairs, trying to find kate's figure, but unfortunately he couldn't see her.
It was rare to see Su Mu in such a hurry, Li Ping'an had a smile on his face, and felt that he had found Su Mu's weakness, so he was even more reluctant to tell him, and continued to laugh evilly.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you after school, don't eat and vomit and don't leave, okay?"
Su Mu helplessly raised his hands in surrender, and suddenly thought that if he left Castellar Middle School, he would not be able to see her often in the future, even if he passed by like before, it would become difficult, and the two would be far away from each other in different schools, and they could only meet during the holidays.
When I thought of this, I was suddenly depressed, and I realized that there was too little time left, so little that it was almost impossible for anything to happen between them, and after understanding this, I immediately couldn't get excited.
Li Ping'an kept looking at him, and after noticing the change in Su Mu's demeanor, he was confused and didn't know what was happening, and said in his mouth: "Deal."
She just asked me to give you the clothes and wanted to thank you, I didn't promise her, let her thank you herself, so maybe I will come back to you again, no thanks, brother, I should do it.
There's something I want to ask you, how did your clothes end up with Kate? Did you happen when I didn't know it...... What is that? It can't be!"
Li Ping'an himself was frightened by his own thoughts, the two of them wore the same pants when they were children, and he was very sure that Su Mu's charm was definitely not that great, at their age, it was not uncommon for there to be a little shame between men and women, there were not many things to talk about on campus, and boys and boys liked to gossip the most.
"Go away, it's not as dirty as you think, this is the library, do you smell musty?" Su Mu changed the topic and scared Li Ping'an and said: "There is mold in the air, and you never enter the library, be careful to go home and get sick." ”
"Oh my God!really!?" Li Ping'an took a deep breath and immediately ran out after speaking!
Su Mu looked at his back, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly thought of something in the next second, and hurriedly chased after him, not caring where he was, and shouted: "Hey, peace! You haven't told me what she told you, so you asked you to help and thank you?"
......
In the blink of an eye, the time for the SSAT test has arrived.
This morning, at five o'clock, Su Mu was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, the previous exams had no pressure on him, it was nothing more than a question of the first place or the third or fourth place, other children were immersed in hard study, but they couldn't compare to him who was easy and learning while playing.
As early as when he was in elementary school, the teacher often told Su Mu that if he didn't work hard, he would soon be surpassed by others, but it turned out that day did not come quickly, his grades were still among the top for a long time, and there was no pressure to study.
Today's upcoming exam is different, today's exam results will determine whether or not you can get a publicly-funded admission place, knowing that he is smarter than most people, but he doesn't know how smart he is, Su Mu, after brushing his teeth and washing his face, sat back at his desk, and brought a book of interview samples that he didn't have time to read yesterday, and flipped through page after page.
He likes to buy second-hand books, because he can sell them again after reading them, and the point is that he will not incur too much depreciation expenses, and this interview material that others will only read before looking for a job is quickly memorized by Su Mu, not the approximate content, but all, including the position of every word.
It took more than ten minutes to memorize more than sixty interview examples, and if necessary, Su Mu could completely recite them, this was probably the first time since the day he started school that he had memorized the articles so seriously, and even he himself was amazed by himself, and he lay back on the quilt again with a sigh look, and began to review the questions he had done recently in his mind......
So far, his life has not changed much from before, and it has not changed because of the strange broadcast content, and it has been smooth for a while recently, the only thing that makes Su Mu feel regretful is that Kate did not come to thank him again as Li Ping'an said, so he didn't have the opportunity to talk to her, he didn't dare to go to her when he first met, and now he doesn't dare either, probably because he has too few things, which always makes him lack self-confidence.
At six o'clock, the door opened, Su Mu heard his grandfather talking to his father, the content was probably that a convoy came to the warehouse last night to pull goods, and he was busy all night without sleeping, etc., Su Mu's father Su Dingcai asked him to go to rest quickly, and the old man replied that he would sleep after sending his grandson out to take the exam.
The words of course deeply pierced Su Mu's heart, he didn't want the old man to stay up late at such an age, nor did he want his mother to help others clean up and do the work at the bottom of society, and he didn't want to live this kind of life now, and he would still live this kind of life in the future.
Su Mu hopes for a change, hopes that his grandfather will be at ease, and hopes to spend money to hire someone to help his mother with housework, but unfortunately he is too young to do anything for the time being, and for the time being, studying is his only chance, so today's exam is particularly important, and the tuition fee for the entire high school in a private middle school is enough for the elders to rest for two more years.
Lying on the bed frowning, he tried not to think about these for the time being, and prepared for today's exam wholeheartedly, after the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock, he ate some porridge and went out, his mother was worried that eating a bad stomach would affect the exam, so he specially prepared a clear porridge, and the old man Su who was full of fatigue before going out was also very superstitious with Su Mu, and burned incense in front of his grandmother's portrait, hoping that her spirit in the sky could also bless this precious grandson who was very beloved before his death.
In the past, Su Mu did not believe in this, and smart people would not pin their thoughts on ethereal things, but since the death of his grandmother, Su Mu finally understood what the meaning of the existence of Heaven and Elysium was - it was the beautiful nostalgia of the living for their deceased relatives and friends.
In the father Su Dingcai himself was very nervous, but persuaded his son Su Mu not to be nervous to go out, there are a total of four SSAT test centers in Los Angeles, far from Chinatown, Su Mu got Zhang Franklin today, which was the cost of his taxi to the test room......
