Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, time has stepped into the season of July fire.

Although you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset in the western mountains after more than an hour, the heat wave formed by the scorching sun still wraps the earth and is unwilling to subside. The heat of July is the kind of all-weather heat, and it is also the best time when people's clothing index is not tested. The less pieces of cloth you hang on your body, the better, and the cooler it feels, the better. This season is the fairest season, the season that the poor and the rich are closest to their outward appearance.

This July, the biggest and most important thing for Qi Jingtao is Qi Lin, who is about to take the college entrance examination. Before the end of the college entrance examination, other things are not a big deal for Qi Jingtao, you can slow down, let it go, let it go.

Qi Jingtao came home from the air-conditioned office in a well-dressed manner, and immediately couldn't wait to change into a super cool casual attire, and stepped on his small 80 motorcycle to rush to the gate of No. 1 Middle School in Central Yunnan City.

At this time, Qi Jingtao, who was wearing a loose short-sleeved T-shirt with big pants, sandals and a pair of sunglasses, was sweating at the gate of the crowded No. 1 Middle School in Central Yunnan City, receiving the enthusiasm of the sunset.

Today is July 3rd, and there are still four sunrises, which is the day when Qi Lin enters the college entrance examination room. According to the usual practice, as the center of the science college entrance examination in the past years, the school will soon enter the stage of clearing the examination room, and it is time for the school to clear the field.

Today, the school was closed after the last class, except for the junior high school students, the junior high school students and the first and second year of high school all had a holiday, cleaned up their desks, chairs and benches, and went home.

Students preparing for the third year of high school also have to clear the field and can leave the school and teachers' sights. They can finally take a breather, soothe their nerves to the limit, and make the final pre-war adjustments for that bayonet day of the year.

The college entrance examination is a variant of the scientific examination and a system change that has a profound impact on the world. The entrance examination system and the civil service examination system all over the world are waiting, all of which are inspired and influenced by China's scientific examination, and are the extension and development of scientific examination.

It is impossible to overstate how the Chinese attach importance to the college entrance examination. After all, compared with other ways to rise, the college entrance examination is still the easiest and fairest way for most people to change their destiny. It is also a single-plank bridge to solve the problem of the advancement of people at the bottom of society after the class is solidified.

With their natural wisdom, students compete on a relatively fair platform, and what they compete more is their hard work and sweat. There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. The wisdom of the ancients has long pointed out the way forward for thousands of students.

The school is about to suspend classes and arrange the examination room, and in addition to the day students who live nearby, the resident students are also allowed to leave the school conditionally to wait for the examination. Many parents who are able to do so come to the school to take care of the candidates, either taking them home to prepare for the exam quietly, or renting a house or staying in a hotel near the school or the examination room. I hope to do my best to make my college entrance examination candidates have the best possible learning and living environment.

Qi Jingtao came to take Qi Lin home to prepare for the exam today, and he is also one of those people who are qualified. The rented house he rented in Chunxi Community was not far from the No. 3 Middle School in Yunzhong City, the center of the liberal arts examination in Central Yunnan City, and it was very suitable as a temporary preparation den for liberal arts candidate Qi Lin.

The family didn't have this condition before. When he was in high school, he, like most rural students, envied those who had the conditions to go home to prepare for the exam, which also inspired them, who were born in rural families, to study hard and change the trajectory of their lives.

This time Qi Lin took the college entrance examination, and his family told him, as his brother, to escort his sister. In my father's words, Qi Lin's going to college is a sure thing. Not only are they worried, but they also can't worry about it, and they don't want to put unnecessary pressure on her. Qi Jingtao has had the same experience, he is a person who has come over, he knows more about the college entrance examination, and he can take better care of his sister. With him as a nanny, the family can rest assured.

It was five forty, Qi Lin hadn't come out yet, and Qi Jingtao was a little annoyed trying to find a shady place to hide from the slanting rays of the sunset. He slowly left the school gate, where it was crowded with waiting parents who craned their necks to look inside the gate. Slowly move through the crowd, moving under a few street trees not far away that are not occupied by parents.

"Hey...... Hey, are you Qi Jingtao? ”

Qi Jingtao heard someone greet him and turned to look. The man who greeted him was thin, with thick black-rimmed glasses on his delicate and clean face, a blue short-sleeved shirt with black trousers and sandals, and a bulging satchel standing on the side of the road looking at him hesitantly.

acquaintance, is still an old acquaintance, is his old alumnus Li Dabiao of the 89th World of Yunnan No. 3 Middle School, and Qi Jingtao's senior brother in the same school. This old man is an expert in the college entrance examination in central Yunnan, counting this year, he has taken the college entrance examination for the eighth time, and he is about to successfully complete the eight-year anti-Japanese war task and be awarded the hero of the anti-Japanese war.

This old man is now a well-known college entrance examination expert in central Yunnan, and his popularity in central Yunnan is very high, and many people know his past experience. When he was in school, he was famous for his hard work, getting up early and being greedy for darkness, and never leaving his coupons. The academic performance of the first and second years of high school is still so-so, and I can follow the second group. When the third year of high school entered the comprehensive review stage, he took a back seat. When the results of the college entrance examination came out, he was 2 points away from the lowest secondary school admission line, and he fell too far behind Sun Shan, and he fell off the list.

Thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge in the college entrance examination, and a large number of students have failed every year. Repeaters and fresh graduates are the two main forces of the college entrance examination every year, and they complement each other on the battlefield of the college entrance examination and compete for a limited number of places in colleges and secondary schools.

So, Li Dabiao, who was unwilling to return to his hometown in the countryside, began his long road of repetition. In the 90 college entrance examination, he was 5 points away from the minimum admission line, in the 91 college entrance examination reform, he was 30 points away from the minimum admission line, and in the 92 college entrance examination, he was 5 points away from the minimum admission line. Later, Qi Jingtao's classmates who participated in the repetition were gone, and he never heard from him again, only knowing that he was still continuing to repeat tirelessly.

After work, I heard from Qi Lin again that Li Dabiao had been studying in the cram school run by Yunnan No. 1 Middle School for the past three years. Qi Lin and their juniors no longer respect him - senior brother when they talk about Li Dabiao, but go one step further and call him - old-timer.

According to Qi Lin and her fresh graduates, only those who have repeated their studies for less than three years in the cram school are called senior brothers and sisters; those who have been in the cram school for more than three years and less than five years are called "big"; and the rare species above five are not the same generation as these fresh graduates, because the alumni of their No. 1 Middle School and 91 circles have become teachers in their No. 1 Middle School. Those who have repeated for more than five years must be called seniors, and the unique Biao brother has gone one step further and has been named "old-timers".

Qi Jingtao frowned slightly, and then took a few steps forward with a smile on his face and greeted: "Oh, why is Brother Biao here?"

"It's really Xiao Qi, I almost didn't recognize you, come to pick up someone" Li Dabiao happily took a few steps forward and spoke.

"Hehehe, come and pick up my sister, she is taking the college entrance examination this year. As Qi Jingtao spoke, he naturally took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Dabiao.

"Thanks, no. ”

"Hehehe, Brother Biao is so used to it, he hasn't stuck to cigarettes for so many years. ”

"Hehehe, don't dare to stick. Smoking is addictive. During classes and exams, I became addicted to cigarettes and felt uncomfortable. ”

"It's true. Hehehe, how is Brother Biao's preparation this year?" Qi Jingtao still has to care about his senior brother's schoolwork, after all, it is another year of college entrance examination that is about to begin.

"This year should be fine, I have memorized all the things in the textbooks. Especially in literature and history, I can even recite the punctuation marks on any page you ask. Haha, Xiao Qi, you wait for your sister, I'll go back and prepare, some materials have to be hurried over. Li Dabiao showed a reserved smile, and after speaking confidently, he waved his hand in a chic manner, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Qi Jingtao looked at Li Dabiao's breezy and cold back, forcibly suppressed the urge to give him a boost, and couldn't help waving his hand at him and shouting: "Come on, Brother Biao, we are waiting to give Brother Biao a celebration wine." ”
