Wei Chenglin has been very busy this semester, and he is a little sad. He didn't know that Sun Ruiyang had confessed to Qiao Lin, and if he knew, he would definitely be even more sad.

After coming to the capital, Wei Chenglin felt more and more that it was not easy to survive. The pressure comes not only from high prices, excellent classmates, but also from the helplessness of being a foreigner.

In April of this year, P High School in the United States will hold an exchange event for "young musicians". Since there is no pressure to go to university, Wei Chenglin really wants to go and see it. What makes him even more excited is that P High School has a good reputation for art education, and he is eager to have a competition with music teenagers from various countries. The number of places is very limited, Wei Chenglin tried his best, but he never expected that when he applied for this project, he would be stuck with the identity of "outsider".

The notice on the official website of the P school says that the materials must be submitted in mid-February, and the interview will be conducted in early March, and an invitation letter will be sent after the interview is passed. A copy of your passport is mandatory in the list of documents. If you want to get a passport, you have to borrow an account. When Wei Chenglin transferred to Beijing, he transferred his hukou together, which was his mother's suggestion - it is really difficult to have a Beijing hukou, if the school can solve it, transfer to Beijing!

Wei Chenglin won the third prize of a very important piano competition, with two or three publicly released songs, as well as a business card given by the teacher of the high school at the beginning of the year, and was specially recruited into this famous ×× high school.

But it doesn't feel very good to come here, most of the students in the ×× High School have risen all the way from primary school, and a very small number of them are geniuses recruited from other schools in the first year of high school.

Moreover, the students of the High School have been frantically brushing their resumes since they were early children, and their awards and performance experiences can be listed on a page full of A4 paper, which makes Wei Chenglin out of reach and sets off his mediocrity. Therefore, that group of proud sons of the sky are amiable on the surface, but in private, almost no one can afford him.

When Wei Chenglin wanted to apply for this program, the head of their department couldn't help but sneer, but the sneer was fleeting, and he still maintained his superficial demeanor and didn't say anything too ugly.

"Wei Chenglin, people gave two places in front of our school, how can you squeeze in?"

"Yes...... I'd love to see it. ”

"Your family situation is not very good, right? The round-trip transportation fee alone is more than 10,000 yuan, not counting other expenses, can your family afford it?"

"Anyway, I still want to see it. ”

The head of the department was very depressed, so he simply said: "Do you think with your strength, you can apply for this program?"

Wei Chenglin looked down at his toes: "Other projects are decided by the school, and I don't have a chance." But this one is not, this one also has an interview, I want to try it. ”

…… This student is stubborn, which is really head-scratching.

The head of the department was already starting to get irritable: "I'll talk about it, you can't meet the conditions at all, so I won't recommend you, understand?"

Wei Chenglin was choked very much, if it had been before, he would have made a big fuss. Fortunately, now I have matured and learned to endure. But after coming out of the office, he felt that patience was really not a good thing, and it could suffocate people to death.

Although this program is not a necessary choice in life, Wei Chenglin is more serious, he is determined to apply, even if there is no recommendation letter from the head of the department, he will try. Therefore, he must overcome the hukou barrier and get his passport first.

He is nothing but that

A high school student, studying alone in Beijing, should have been handled by his parents, but in the end he had to run by himself. He didn't know where his hukou was at first, but after asking Sun Ruiyang, he knew that he would go to the school's hukou department or the nearby police station.

Wei Chenglin's school does not have a household registration department, so he can only go to the police station. The first time he went, the staff was obviously at work, but they were playing with snakes on their phones. Wei Chenglin cautiously said "Hello", and the little girl pointed to the sign hanging on the wall very impatiently, so stingy that she refused to even say a word.

Wei Chenglin glanced at the sign, which said working hours, and it turned out that he would only go to work at two o'clock in the afternoon. He still had to go to class at that time, so he had no choice but to leave, and the second time he went, he didn't come to work at all, and her colleague said lukewarmly that she had called in sick.

Wei Chenglin has already been on fire, today is the third time he has gone, if he can't borrow his account this time, then he will have a winter vacation, and many procedures will be too late.

On this day in mid-January, Wei Chenglin came to ask about the household registration again. Fortunately, this time it was working time, and the staff did not ask for leave. Although Wei Chenglin has a lot of dissatisfaction, he always asks others to do things, so he has to show a smile.

The little girl's eyelids rolled and she barely moved her lips: "What are you going to do?"

"Hello, come and borrow the hukou, this is my ID card and student ID. Wei Chenglin had already inquired with Sun Ruiyang about the process, and he usually had to take his student ID card to lend his household registration. He was afraid that the staff would be impatient, so he had already prepared.

The staff took it heavily, raised their eyebrows, and screamed, "You only turned around in September?"

"Yes. ”

The staff threw the documents over, and by the way, they rolled their eyes: "It will take half a year to settle down." ”

？？？

Wei Chenglin suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he stood at the window and did not leave. The little girl's brows twisted deeper, facing Wei Chenglin, just like her boyfriend who persuaded her to drink hot water when she faced menstrual cramps, her impatience had already overflowed the sky, and she almost started to fight.

Wei Chenglin suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the collective household registration is like that, I'm not a ......."

"Who told you that?" The little girl's voice became sharper and sharper, and she kept rolling her eyes: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, if you have any questions, go to your school." ”

Wei Chenglin's voice finally rose up: "Then you have to tell me, where is my hukou now?"

"I don't know. ”

"Damn!" Wei Chenglin turned around, held his forehead, and was laughed at angrily: "That's what you do, you don't know where your hukou is?"

"Do you have to know everything to do anything?" the little girl slid the mouse and didn't look at him: "I can't find it here anyway." ”

At that moment, Wei Chenglin wanted to change back to his former self before he was sixteen years old, the irascible, impulsive, and reckless self, he wanted to mess around, and then walk away.

But after the New Year, he was already eighteen years old, and he walked out of the police station in a gloomy manner, trying to light a cigarette, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't light it.

The road in front of him was full of traffic, and the buildings in the distance were lined up one after another, and he, a young foreigner, was as humble as a stray dog, or a stray dog with no identity.

It's not that he doesn't want to work hard, it's not that he doesn't have opportunities, but some external obstacles are always in front of him, and these obstacles make him insurmountable, and he can't change them. A deep

The feeling of powerlessness came to my heart, chasing my dreams, it turned out to be so difficult.

Qiao Lin's call came at that time, and after Sun Ruiyang secretly poked and scolded Liu Zheng, he accompanied Qiao Lin to get some money. In the past six months, Qiao Lin has made a little money with Mr. Ma, and before going home, she wants to invite her friends to have a meal together.

For a long time, she felt that she was the one to be taken care of, and after a little bit of ability, she also wanted to take care of everyone.

"Cheng Lin, come to our school to have dinner together! Sun Ruiyang said that you like to eat grilled fish, and there is one next to our school, so come here! ”

At this moment, hearing this bright voice, Wei Chenglin suddenly found a sense of belonging, he held the phone but couldn't make a sound.

"Cheng Lin, what's wrong with you?

"No, no, it's just that some things don't go well......"

"Then you have to come over even more, there are Sun Ruiyang, Xu Na, and me tonight. No matter what difficulties you encounter, and the three of us stinkers, we can always withstand you, Zhuge Liang, right?"

Wei Chenglin burst into tears and laughed: "You three high-achieving students, or stinkers, then what have I become?"

"Don't say it, hurry up, I'll see you at the main entrance of our school at half past five. ”

Qiao Lin also invited Wen Jing, but she was busy auditioning recently and didn't have time, and Du Juan, who had a heavy performance task during the Spring Festival and couldn't come. The above two are not only busy, but also have to stay in shape, and are basically hungry all year round. Whenever this happens, Jolene will be glad that she didn't choose the path of an artist.

Jolene also invited Poplar, but he returned to his hometown in the Northeast early this year, which made her very disappointed. When the three of them were waiting for Wei Chenglin, they also talked about him. Xu Na said bluntly that although she was on the same campus as Yang Shu, she couldn't get close to her at all.

"That brother...... I always felt that there was an eerie look in his eyes. Xu Na finally commented.

Sun Ruiyang also said: "When he was still working in Qiao's house, he beat away several groups of people who came to make trouble, from this point of view, he has a ruthlessness in his bones. If you study well and can play, you can write a book about such a life. ”

Qiao Lin interjected: "Isn't that more than that? Didn't he say that when he was a child, his father was the village contractor, and the family was rich." Later, his father died unexpectedly on the way out to ask for an account, and the family declined, and his mother remarried. If it weren't for these accidents, wouldn't he have been admitted to Peking University as if he was having fun? But he really had the perseverance to take the exam for five years! I heard my mother say that he has now become a model for the second middle school, and the teacher often takes him as an example and tells the students that everyone who works part-time can be admitted to Peking University, what about you?"

Xu Na sighed: "I met him in the library that time, he is only a sophomore now, and he is starting to prepare for the civil service exam." How to put it, I feel that no matter what he does, his purpose is very strong, or maybe he is much more mature than us...... I don't understand, but I admire him. ”

Sun Ruiyang pointed out sharply: "There is ruthlessness, there is strategy, and it is indeed very suitable for politics." ”

“…… Okay, I finally came to treat me today, why do you all say that Brother Yang Shu ?—— Chenglin, you are here?"

Wei Chenglin got off the bus dejectedly, and when he heard Qiao Lin calling him, he only smiled reluctantly. As he approached, everyone realized that he had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes drooped. He's always been very careful with his hair, but now his hair is messy.
