One day in May, Zhuge Huaizhi came to the passenger cabin after taking over the shift and heard Zheng Yunxin and Yin Honghui chatting.

"I didn't expect Zhou Wenjian, this kid to be okay, and he signed up for the staff secondary school without saying a word. ”

"What about signing up? There are too many applicants, you have to be admitted!" Yin Honghui said disdainfully.

"What's the name?" Zhuge Huaizhi was very curious, he had a good relationship with Zhou Wenjian, and the dormitory was also door-to-door, why had he never heard Zhou Wenjian mention the matter of registration?

"Hey, Zhuge , don't you study all day, why didn't I see you sign up?" Zheng Yunxin was a little puzzled.

"Hey, what do I mean by learning?" Zhuge Huaizhi scratched his head embarrassedly, how could he not tell his master that he fantasized about being the leader of the universe all day long, and he fantasized that if he wanted to rule the whole universe, he must learn English well, and if he said it so that everyone would not laugh off his big teeth, it would be considered a neurosis.

"Zhuge , I thought you knew it earlier! Our road bureau has a railway secondary school, and a small number of places are allocated to each station section every year, and those young people with great ambitions are enthusiastic to sign up, and they must pass the examination to be admitted, and they will study full-time for three years, and they will also bring their salaries.

Zheng Yunxin has always liked Zhuge Huaizhi, a child who is smart, studious and polite, he always feels that this child is afraid that he will bury talents if he stays in this remote station.

"Oh, and that's the first time I've heard of it. Zhuge Huaizhi muttered.

"Don't listen to what Lao Zheng said so easily, the competition is fierce, there are only three or two places in our section every year, and there are dozens of people who sign up!" Yin Honghui lost no time in pouring cold water.

"That's right, this is the first time that someone has signed up, Zhou Wenjian, this kid is a caring person. Zheng Yunxin said with emotion.

Zhuge Huaizhi was absent-minded about what he was doing all morning, Zhou Wenjian, this kid really had a heart, he had never mentioned such a big thing, probably because he was afraid that he would compete with him.

Zhuge Huaizhi thought about his grades in junior high school, and laughed self-deprecatingly, even if Zhou Wenjian told him that the two of them signed up together, I am afraid that he would not be his opponent.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Huaizhi's smart mind should inherit his father's excellent genes, think back then, Zhuge Huaizhi's grandfather was a famous prodigal when he was young, and he made a living as a broker in the bazaar, and every time he earned a few dollars, he traveled around with a few fox friends and dog friends.

At that time, Zhuge Huaizhi's grandmother gave birth to seven children, Zhuge Huaizhi's father was the fourth, two sisters above, an elder brother, a younger brother below, two younger sisters, Zhuge Huaizhi's grandfather sometimes left for half a year, leaving Zhuge Huaizhi's grandmother and seven children, as well as the father and mother, the whole family of ten, relying on Zhuge Huaizhi's grandmother to sell tofu on the side of the road to make a living.

Zhuge Huaizhi's grandmother was a wise woman, who raised seven children with her own smart mind and hard-working hands.

Zhuge Huaizhi's father was the first college student in the village to be admitted to the military academy, which was a sensation at the time, and in the following years, Zhuge Huaizhi's uncle and two little aunts were all admitted to the university, and the seven children of the Zhuge family produced four college students, and the people in the village said that the ancestral tomb of the Zhuge family was smoking.

It's a pity that when it comes to Zhuge Huaizhi's generation, maybe the living conditions are better, and the children don't have the spirit of hard work, and none of the three children in Zhuge Huaizhi's family have good academic performance.

Zhuge Huaizhi's grades in primary school were still top-notch, his father was still alive at that time, and he was very strict with him, just in junior high school, his father died of illness, the life of the family plummeted, his mother was tired of making a living all day long, Zhuge Huaizhi reached the age when he began to be naughty, and no one managed the natural grades and went downhill.

finally survived until he graduated from junior high school, and his grades in the class also reached the level of the middle and lower reaches, and the difficulties of life did not make Zhuge Huaizhi have the motivation to work hard, but made him even more decadent, and he only wanted to earn money to subsidize his family.

In the past few years of work, Zhuge Huaizhi only fantasized that he would be able to get ahead one day, in addition to doing a good job, and there was no practical action to continue learning, until today I heard that Zhou Wenjian signed up for the secondary school examination, which stimulated his long-numb mind.

"I'll go home this week and find out the junior high school textbook for review, and I'll have to register for the exam next year!" Zhuge Huaizhi made up his mind.

"But dozens of people signed up and only admitted two or three, and their junior high school grades were average, and they have been thrown away for several years, isn't it a shame if they can't pass the exam?" Zhuge Huaizhi retreated again.

"Is it a test or not?"

"Oh, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, it's annoying!"

Zhuge Huaizhi sat in front of the ticket window, with two villains fighting in his heart, his eyes glazed and immersed in his own world.

"Comrade!" someone knocked on the glass outside the window.

Zhuge Huaizhi's eyes were confused, and he came back to his senses from the ethereal world.

"Where to buy a ticket?" he asked mechanically.

"Comrade, I want to ask, can I buy a ticket to Quzhou from us?" Outside was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a woolen trench coat with a straight collar, very elegant.

"Oh, Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a good place! You first take the train to Yanzhou, and then transfer to the Beijing-Shanghai line to take the train to Xuzhou, the ticket here is only to Yanzhou, the morning car has already left, you can take the afternoon." ”

"It's not Xuzhou, I'm asking Quzhou. ”

"What state, Quzhou, canal, which province, is it Jiangsu? I haven't heard of this place, which railway bureau does it belong to?" asked Zhuge Huaizhi as he stood up and looked at the schematic map of the names of the national railway stations posted on the wall.

"What Jiangsu? It's obviously Zhejiang Province! Oh, you people on the railway, why are you so uneducated!

"How do you speak? I'm not an encyclopedia, I know everything!" Zhuge Huaizhi was so angry that he stuck his head out of the passenger compartment and shouted at the middle-aged man's back.

In the evening, Zhuge Huaizhi was still sulking because of the noon incident, Li Lutong and Wang Liqiang persuaded him while drinking, "Don't be like them, they don't know everything, you have only been working for two years, and you will get used to it after you work for another ten years! Everyone has it, don't go to your heart, come!"

Zhuge Huaizhi moved a chair, sat outside the door of the dormitory, and quietly looked at the moon in the sky, it should be the middle of the moon, the moon is big and round, and the silver moonlight illuminates the corners of the station area, and also illuminates Zhuge Huaizhi's heart.

Zhuge Huaizhi looked back at the two people who were drinking in the room, and secretly made up his mind, "I must not waste my time anymore, is my life the same as theirs, every day except for work, I drink and play cards?"

"I want to go to school!" Zhuge Huaizhi shouted out in his heart!
