On Saturday night, Zhuge Huaizhi rummaged through the cabinets at home, Zhuge Zhenguo helped his mother clean up the kitchen, and when he returned to the room, he saw a mess on the floor, "What are you looking for? ”

"Brother, have you seen my junior high school textbook?"

"What are you looking for? I guess I've already asked my mother to sell scrap. Zhuge Zhenguo replied nonchalantly.

"What? How can I sell it! I'm still useful!" Zhuge Huaizhi was anxious.

"What's the matter? Second brother, what are you looking for junior high school textbooks? "It was Zhuge Huaizhi's sister Zhuge Jingwen who came in, a fifteen-year-old girl who was slim and slim, and she was about to take the high school entrance examination in more than a month.

"That's right, Jingjing, when you finish the high school entrance examination, you must save the junior high school textbooks, I have important things to use!" Zhuge Huaizhi's eyes lit up, his sister's textbook was the latest version, which was more suitable than his original set.

Zhuge Jingwen nodded obediently, "Don't worry, second brother!"

"What's the matter, do you have to take the exam too?" asked Zhuge Zhenguo.

"Well, our road bureau has an adult secondary school, which selects young workers with excellent grades every year, and they will be out of work for three years, and they will be able to get a secondary school graduation certificate when the time comes. Zhuge Huaizhi said excitedly.

"It's hard not to go to school, why are you still learning it! How tired!" Zhuge Zhenguo was very puzzled.

Zhuge Zhenguo and Zhuge Huaizhi participated in the recruitment examination two years ago, his mother has always valued the eldest son, and specially entrusted people to go to the relationship to assign Zhuge Zhenguo to the most popular unit nowadays, and went to work at the Seven Grain Station of the Food Bureau, the salary is good, and he commutes on time, Zhuge Zhenguo is very satisfied.

"Brother, you don't know, on our station, those people are not only at work, but also drinking and playing cards after work, it's too boring, people who are a little bit of a pursuit have gone to continue studying, I think grandma is right, there is no future if you read too little!" Zhuge Huaizhi especially wanted to communicate with his brother.

"Hey, my stupid brother, why haven't you understood it after two years of class? Whether you have a future in these years does not depend at all on how many books you have read, but on whether you have a relationship or not! There are intertwined networks of relationships and relationships everywhere, and it is too difficult for people like us who have no connections and backers to make some achievements!" Zhuge Zhenguo lit a cigarette and took a puff, a little cynical.

"Brother, what you said is reasonable, take our unit, an adult secondary school, for example, the number of places each year is small, I heard that the children of leaders will also apply for the examination, ordinary workers will have no way, no matter how good the test is, people don't want you! Of course, this is just a rumor, I have to try it myself to know. ”

"So, don't work hard! If you have that energy, you might as well earn more money! Let me tell you, there is a young man in our unit who goes to Qiyang Road every night to set up a night market, and it is hard work, but I heard that after a month, the money earned is higher than the salary!" Zhuge Zhenguo's eyes lit up, "How about it? Why don't we try it too?"

"I want to, but I just have one day off every week, and I have to stay on the station the rest of the time, how can I partner with you?" Zhuge Huaizhi was a little embarrassed.

"Alas, forget about it! It would be nice if you worked in the city, or you would also give gifts and be transferred back to the city!"

"I'm afraid it's harder than ascending to the sky, besides, I won't give gifts! This is called an unhealthy trend, I can't do it!" Zhuge Huaizhi has always been honest and responsible, not to mention that he can't wipe his face to give gifts, even if he really has the courage, he doesn't know who to give it to.

In the next period of time, Zhuge Huaizhi bought a copy of "Analysis of Junior High School Mathematics Problems" in the bookstore, ready to start with his most headache mathematics, when he went to work at the station, he used the rest time to stipulate that he understood three questions a day, and he really didn't understand the place, he used the stupidest way to memorize the example problems, and then asked others to teach him when he had the opportunity to find someone who understood mathematics.

In the evening, when the young people in the dormitory next door play cards, there is a shortage of manpower, Zhuge Huaizhi does not participate, in addition to studying, he also has to rest early, and he does not sleep lazily in the morning, he gets up at dawn, and takes the two-way English book to the woods next to the station house to memorize words.

At the beginning, Zhuge Huaizhi gave himself a rule to memorize ten English words every morning, review them at noon, and write silently at night to strengthen memory.

One day in early July, Zhuge Huaizhi was sent by the stationmaster to send materials to Duan Shang, and he met He Rulan in the office who came to publicize the source of the school's statistics.

Zhuge Huaizhi only then knew that He Rulan was actually a teacher in the city's railway primary school, and what was even more coincidental was that He Rulan started her summer vacation and took a train back to Ruyi Town with him in the afternoon.

On the way back to Ruyi Town, Zhuge Huaizhi humbly asked Teacher He for some tips on learning, and also admitted his distress of not being able to grasp the essentials of learning.

He Rulan was called by Zhuge Huaizhi one by one Teacher He, but she was a little embarrassed, the two talked about age, it turned out that Zhuge Huaizhi was one year younger than He Rulan, He Rulan couldn't help laughing, this thin boy is really younger than herself, this teacher should be at ease.

He Rulan was very appreciative of Zhuge Huaizhi's idea of not being willing to be mediocre, she also told Zhuge Huaizhi about the situation in her family, and her most admired sister also changed her fate through hard work, not only walked out of the mountains by herself, but also guided and encouraged her sister to fight for a better tomorrow together.

Zhuge Huaizhi was very excited, he finally found a peer who had a common language with him, when he was at the station in the past, he and Zhou Wenjian had a good conversation, he felt that they were different from the people around them, they had ideals and ambitions, they were not willing to be mediocre, and they were full of hope for the future.

But since Zhou Wenjian didn't tell him that he secretly applied for the adult secondary school by himself, Zhuge Huaizhi felt that the relationship between the two people was slowly estranged.

The results of the exam came out last week, Zhou Wenjian really lived up to expectations, becoming one of the three outstanding among the thirty-six employees who applied for the exam, Zhuge Huaizhi calmly congratulated him, Zhou Wenjian also accepted it lightly, and there was nothing else to say, Zhuge Huaizhi felt that he might have nothing to do with Zhou Wenjian in this life.

Zhuge Huaizhi couldn't sleep at night, he secretly swore that he must be admitted to this school next year, just with his smart mind, as long as he has perseverance, he will definitely be able to make up for the missing homework!

There was nothing to do during the summer vacation, and when He Rulan thought of his younger brother who was not angry, the more he felt that Zhuge Huaizhi was a rare child, and without thinking about it, He Rulan told Zhuge Huaizhi the address of his home, and promised to help him tutor junior high school mathematics, as long as he knew how to do it, he would definitely be able to teach Zhuge Huaizhi!

Zhuge Huaizhi's heart was full of joy, and when he got out of the car that day, he whistled back to the dormitory!
