7. Be prepared
Gao Jian was leisurely playing bass at home, bang, the door suddenly opened, Gao Lan rushed in in a hurry, and said, "Gao Jian, turn on the TV and tune to the provincial TV station." ”
Xiao Min's familiar laughter came from the TV: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will lead you into the ...... of Binhe No. 1 Middle School in this issue of "Into the Campus"
Seeing this, Gao Jian picked up the remote control and turned off the TV impatiently, saying, "Mom, you want to educate me again? Why are you watching these children's programs?"
"Bear child, quickly give me the remote control, I still want to watch it if you don't watch it, tell you, there is a clip of an interview with Ah Qin in the show. As he spoke, Gao Lan snatched the remote control and turned on the TV.
Xiao Min's voice came again: "Now we are in the classroom of the third class of the city's No. 1 High School, let's go and have a look...... Principal Wen, can you talk about the school's specific approach to how the school focuses on the cultivation of students' literary and artistic talents?"
Principal Wen: "The school is based on the spirit of the central, provincial and municipal governments on cultivating all-round quality students,.................. Through the efforts of teachers and students, a number of outstanding ............ such as Li Xiuqin and Xiao Fangfang have emerged."
Xiao Min: "Principal Wen, can I interview these students?"
"Absolutely. ”
At this time, Li Xiuqin appeared on the TV screen a little cramped.
Xiao Min: "Li Xiuqin, I heard that you not only have excellent grades, but also write songs in your spare time, and these songs are sung among teachers and students, which greatly enriches the ...... Today, can you please sing the song you wrote?"
Seeing this, Gao Jian couldn't help but sit on the sofa, staring at the screen intently, for fear of missing a word, and kept chanting: "Where is this random interview, it is obviously arranged in advance, it seems that Xiao Min wants to praise Ah Qin." ”
On TV, Li Xiuqin hesitated for a while, and finally in the encouragement of Principal Wen and the applause of the whole class, he unnaturally picked up his guitar and walked to the podium.
Li Xiuqin: "Host Xiao, Principal Wen, teachers and students, everyone can sing that song, and there is nothing new for me to sing it again, why don't I sing a new song?"
"Good!" burst into applause from the classroom.
"The name of the new song is "On the Shore of Lake Baikal". After speaking, Li Xiuqin slowly plucked the strings, and after the beautiful prelude, an ethereal, sad, and touching song sounded: "My arms are in your eyes, where the spring breeze is intoxicated and the grass is green, the moonlight sprinkles love all over the lake, the bonfire of two people illuminates the whole night, how many years later, it is like a cloud swimming, the changing footsteps make it difficult for us to hold hands, how many you and I in this life are swallowed up in the moonlight like water............"
Gao Jian was completely shocked, this sad, heartwarming and beautiful tune, how could a high school student write such a talented masterpiece?
Gao Lan's eyes were shining, and at the same time, she was secretly glad in her heart that there was someone like Ah Qin who wrote songs for her son, and the 200,000 yuan was really worth it.
"Ah Jian, was Xiao Qin happy after receiving that card?" Gao Lan asked.
"Uh......" Gao Jian suddenly tightened up, and said uneasily, "That's the case, Mom, then...... I haven't ...... that card yet. didn't have time to give it to Brother Li. ”
Gao Lan was almost mad by her son, she trembled her lips and asked, "Ah Jian, don't tell me that card money, you have caused disaster." ”
"Mom. Gao Jian stood up in a panic and said, "There is no full flower, I sang wine and karaoke with a few buddies, and later sold a Harley, which cost a little more than 100,000 yuan in total." ”
"You're not a peace of mind. Gao Lan collapsed on the sofa and said silently: "You are so unsuccessful, you really can't support the wall with mud." It's in vain that I've worked hard for you......"
As soon as his mother cried, Gao Jian was suddenly at a loss, and when he was in distress, Cao Jinchuan pushed the door and walked in.
"Uncle Cao, help me persuade my mother. Gao Jian stepped forward a few steps, grabbed his hand and begged.
At this moment, Guo Tao appeared on the screen, and I saw him laughing: "Ah Qin's song is amazing, it's the ............ I've ever heard."
Stimulated by the TV picture, Gao Lan couldn't help but feel sad again.
Smack, Cao Jinchuan turned off the TV, turned around and sat opposite her a few steps, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?
Gao Lan twisted his body: "Woo woo woo woo ......"
"Gao Jian, bring a wet towel for your mother. Cao Jinchuan said.
After a while, Gao Jian stood beside his mother with a towel, Gao Lan didn't look at it, grabbed the towel, wiped a few handfuls on his face, threw the towel on the table with a snap, and pointed to his son to complain to Cao Jinchuan: "Mr. Cao, you don't know, my son can't take care of it, he actually spent the honorarium I gave to Ah Qin." ”
"Mom, it's half spent, not all spent. Gao Jian whispered.
"Shut up, there's no place for you to speak. Gao Lan suddenly lost his breath.
"What a big deal should I be, you two should make such a fuss over a trivial matter. Cao Jinchuan laughed and said: "Gao Lan, it's not me saying you, who is young and doesn't do a few things to panic, and Xiao Qin is not a greedy person, he will definitely not take this matter to heart." ”
"I think so. Gao Lan's face softened, and said: "But there is no reason to only work without taking money, the more Ah Qin refuses to accept money, the more embarrassed I am to ask him for a new song." ”
"So you're worried about this. Cao Jinchuan leaned back, raised his right leg and asked with a smile: "Why don't I go out and help you ask in person." ”
"No, I don't. Gao Lan said dryly: "Let Ah Jian go and tell Xiao Qin by himself, he is in his twenties, and he should have some responsibility." ”
"That's fine, since it's okay, I'll go first. Cao Jinchuan got up and walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned back to Gao Lan and said, "By the way, let me inform you of the situation, Deep Technology has a limit again today." ”
"Really?" Gao Lan was taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, let's not doubt it, I believe in Ah Qin's vision." ”
Sending Cao Jinchuan away, Gao Lan returned to the bedroom without saying a word, took another card back, handed it to Gao Jian, and instructed: "This is 500,000, please be sure to hand over the card to Ah Qin today." ”
"Thank you, Mom, don't worry, I will do it. Gao Jian said.
This song "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" will definitely shake the entertainment industry in China, Li Xiuqin has always wanted to exist in a low-key manner, his goal is actually very simple, in fact, he wants to be admitted to a prestigious university, get a higher starting point, make full use of the prophetic ability of the traverser, take the first step into the profiteering industry, and then make a fortune in a muffled voice, and by the way, also experience what is called a luxurious life. But Xiao Min's appearance broke his plan, and now he can't keep a low profile.
"Musical poet, what do you think when you lower your head?" Cao Xiaoqian blocked the school gate with a smile.
"Miss Cao, is there something wrong?"
"Don't be weird, you're a celebrity on the riverside now, you should always ask us to rub it off, sing or something. ”
"Who else are we?"
"Hmph, ask knowingly, you don't know if you look back. ”
Li Xiuqin looked back and found that Guo Tao and Xiao Fangfang were talking and laughing towards this side.
"I'm sorry Xiaoqian, this meal is pushed back, and the college entrance examination will be held in more than ten days, I can't do some of the questions, I really don't have the heart to play, or I won't participate in it." After saying that, Li Xiuqin smiled apologetically and turned around and left.
"Huh, why did he go, didn't he say that he would play together?" At this time, Guo Tao rushed to the front.
"I said I was going home to study hard, I was bored, I wanted to eat, you two should go, and I would go home to study my books. After speaking, Cao Xiaoqian turned her head and left.
Guo Tao looked back at Xiao Fangfang helplessly, but she actually said: "Guo Tao, why don't you go to dinner alone, I'll go home first." ”
Guo Tao froze in place and muttered to himself, "Damn, what kind of plane are you doing?" Isn't it just a meal............
Li Xiuqin sat alone in the lamp, trying to recall the 1996 college entrance examination essay, the title seems to be "Plastic Surgery for Six Fingers" and "Truncated Wrong" two cartoons. The requirement is very simple, that is, to write an argumentative essay by looking at the pictures.
Li Xiuqin vaguely remembers the full-score model essay of that year, and the solution to the problem was: Whether it is plastic surgery to remove the thumb as six fingers, or amputation of the healthy right leg as a sick left leg, it is a reflection of the perfunctory formalist style and practice of social phenomena.
The idea is to criticize the formalist style and practice of perfunctory responsibility and dereliction of duty in social reality.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiuqin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately sat down at the desk and wrote hard: "Among the two cartoons, I prefer the one "Plastic Surgery on Six Fingers". Some people may ask: "This cartoon has only one big hand in the whole picture, far less than the characters in "Truncated Wrong", which is vivid and lively............, why do you like it more?"
"Plastic Surgery on Six Fingers" is a deep grasp of this. A stump hand, the direct victim of plastic surgery, occupies the whole picture alone, which makes people suddenly feel shocked, and can't help but make people have one product, another product, and three products.
A product, so that people can taste the anger in it......
Again, make people dissatisfied, and even resentful, against the dereliction of duty............
Three products, chilling ......"
After sprinkling 800 words, Li Xiuqin looked at the composition on the table with satisfaction, and he must revise it several more times and strive to memorize it word for word............
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, on July 7, in the examination room, when Li Xiuqin saw the two familiar cartoons on the Chinese test paper, he couldn't help laughing............
Vice Principal Wen was reviewing documents in the office, but the Chinese teacher of the first class of the third year of high school suddenly broke in and said breathlessly: "Oh no, Principal Wen, Li Xiuqin actually handed in the paper an hour early." ”
An hour in advance? That is to say, he only took an hour and a half for the language test, and it takes at least 40 minutes to complete an 800-word essay...... , snap, the pencil in Principal Wen's hand fell on the table.
In the next three days, news about Li Xiuqin's early submission of the paper came one after another, and in the end, Principal Wen was also numb, and just said lightly to the visitor: "Oh, I know, if you don't submit the paper in advance, then he is not Li Xiuqin." ”
On the afternoon of July 9, when Li Xiuqin waited outside the examination room for 40 minutes, the flow of candidates slowly poured into the entrance of the examination room......
Li Xiuqin ............. Cao Xiaoqian and Xiao Fangfang squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards him.
"Finally finished the exam, let's go to masturbate today, and relax and relax. Li Xiuqin smiled happily.
"Okay, I raise my hands in agreement. "I've been suffocated for a long time, just waiting for this day." The two girls smiled happily.
"Huh, why don't you see Guo Tao?" Li Xiuqin raised his eyes and looked at the flow of people.
Smack, Leng Buding was patted on the shoulder, Guo Tao flashed out from behind him, and said with a smile: "Ah Qin, the last buddy came out earlier than you, how about it? ”
Ha, Cao Xiaoqian was startled, and asked with a smile: "Dead fat man, you actually compare the speed of answering the question with him? ”
Guo Tao glared at him angrily, and said, "The dead girl knows and asks, do you want to see the jokes of your buddies?" paused, sighed and said: "I don't know any of the letters on the volume, it's really uncomfortable to sit dry, so it's better to come out and breathe." ”
While the four good friends were talking and laughing, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped on the side of the road with a clatter, and I saw Gao Lan poking his head out of the car window with a smile and saying, "Ah Qin, you get in the car quickly, today my sister invites you to go to Shangri-La in the provincial capital to have a good time, and relax by the way." ”
"Okay, thank you, Sister Gao. Guo Fatzi took the lead in running over.
Li Xiuqin, Xiao Fangfang and Cao Xiaoqian looked at each other and smiled, and happily walked towards the Mercedes-Benz.
Binhe is very close to the provincial capital, it takes 40 minutes to drive, on the way Xiao Fangfang was worried that her father would not find her, but Gao Lan smiled and reassured her, saying that she had already greeted her family, Cao Jinchuan and Gao Lan were very familiar, Cao Xiaoqian naturally did not have to worry.
In the luxurious private room, Cao Xiaoqian finally couldn't help it, and asked Li Xiuqin curiously: "Ah Qin, you have submitted the papers in advance, you are quite confident." How many points can you rate?"
"Huh. Li Xiuqin just grabbed a piece of abalone and threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "About 680 points." ”
"Damn. Guo Tao didn't do anything after hearing this, threw his chopsticks and said, "It's just non-human, hey...... , buddy can pass the 400-point mark and burn high incense. ”
"Wow, this score can go to Yenching University. Cao Xiaoqian felt a little lost in her heart and asked, "Will you really go to Yanjing?"
"I haven't thought about this yet. Li Xiuqin still bowed his head to deal with the abalone: "However, I want to go to Shanghai." ”
"Well, the Shanghai market is developing very fast, and Fudan University is also a good choice. Xiao Fangfang nodded in approval.
After listening to Xiao Fangfang's words, Cao Xiaoqian was shocked and hurriedly asked her: "Fangfang, how many points have you estimated?"
"If the essay is not off-topic, it will be about 670 points. Xiao Fangfang said.
No wonder you supported him to go to Fudan University, it turned out that you also wanted to go to Shanghai, Cao Xiaoqian's heart was sour, and she was immediately deflated......
That night, Cao Xiaoqian went home and immediately went to her brother, saying that she didn't want to go to university in Xijing.
"Then where do you want to go?" Cao Jinchuan asked, "Do you know how much trouble my brother has gone to to in order to secure the quota?" ”
"I'm going to Shanghai anyway. Cao Xiaoqian turned around angrily and went back to the room on the second floor.
Cao Jinchuan: "........................"
In the next few days, after being busy with the evaluation and filling in the volunteers, the four of them met and played crazy a few times, and on the day the results were announced on the 25th, Li Xiuqin pulled out the hot and shallow, and the phone came clearly: "Li Xiuqin, exam number xxxxxx, 136 points in Chinese, 140 points in mathematics.................. with a total score of 695 points. ”
Wow, Guo Tao, who was beside Li Xiuqin, immediately rushed out and shouted in the courtyard: "Our hospital has a champion, Ah Qin scored 695 points!" ............
The men, women and children in the courtyard came out of the house one after another and surrounded Guo Tao to ask.
"Really, Ah Qin's child is really promising. ”
"How many years have passed, and our second mine has also had a champion. ”
"Yes, I will definitely be able to go to Yanda. ”…………
Suddenly, Aunt Zhang from the concierge asked Guo Tao: "After talking for so long, how many exams have you taken, Guo Tao?"
brush, Guo Fatzi suddenly blushed: "Aunt Zhang, why don't you open that pot and mention that pot?"
Ha...... , happy laughter echoed in the sky above the small courtyard.
Ding Yao, the phone in Principal Wen's office rang, Principal Wen answered the phone, and a woman's hearty smile came from the microphone: "Hello Principal Wen, I am Xiao Min from the TV station, I want to visit Li Xiuqin, a classmate from your school, can you arrange it?"
Principal Wen: "Of course you can, but can I ask why?............ Oh, full marks for essays, you mean he got perfect marks for college entrance examination essays!?"
