(25) Conscience buying
Time passes, time flies, and no one stays. The devastation of life is imperceptible in the loss of time, and it is up to nature to choose whether to evolve or destroy. Nature's Law of Survival: Survival of the Fittest.
In the mid-term examination in the second half of the third semester of junior high school, the small results have taken the lead in the class, dominating the rivers and lakes, and the grade has entered the top ten. And the enthusiasm for learning is high, tireless, like a high-speed machine. I don't know if it's because I'm interested, or if I feel like I'm shouldering a sacred mission, maybe I'm talking to someone, and I'm lingering in the whirlpool of learning. Ms. Fang was overjoyed, but Wen Zhu saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. Even if you sprint, you don't need to work so hard, so you can keep some strength back. Therefore, Wenzhu often calls Xiaoxiao to play table tennis, badminton, chess, and singing to relieve stress and relax. Who knows that the little one is full of energy, does not complain of hardship or tiredness, and is like a racing car moving forward at high speed. With such top goods, the school naturally mobilizes them to stay in the high school of the school. If the source of students is good, the overall quality of the school is good, and the results of the college entrance examination are naturally outstanding. Parents only look at the school's college entrance examination rate, and they don't really care about how to get it. It has a good reputation abroad, students flock to it, and the financial resources of sponsorship are rolling in.
For a while, the teacher came every three or five times to mobilize Xiao Xiao to study in the high school of her school, but Xiaoxiao, who was usually sharp-toothed, smiled and said nothing, and asked in a hurry, so she barked at her mother, meaning to ask her mother. The teacher will do Ms. Fang's work again, of course, and praise the school first. Ms. Fang was patient and careful, patiently listening, and carefully asked what ranking, admission rate, what class she could enter, which subject she could study, and what university she could be admitted to in the future. Seeing that the parents were tempted, the teacher naturally spared no effort to answer. Later, he patted his chest and was admitted to the education reform class, the tuition and miscellaneous fees were all waived, and the scholarship could be obtained with a small hand spasm, and he almost slipped out of his teeth when he was sent to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Seeing that the question was almost over, Ms. Fang took a sip of tea and said I'm sorry, her father still has to make an idea about this matter, but it is actually a small will. Although Yu Datou has changed drastically more often than before, he still rarely sees people, and sometimes he comes home late. The teacher will not wait until the willow tops on the moon for this matter, let alone wait until the middle of the night when the TV snowflakes are on TV. After a few back and forth, the ball could not be passed to Yu Datou's feet, and her enthusiasm and confidence dissipated like a thick fog spreading all over the world. Xiaoxiao was quiet for a while, and her mother was quite happy to stay in school, close to her, taking care of her every day, but she couldn't make a decision. Wen Zhu knew that Xiaoxiao didn't speak, because Mr. Yu had already asked someone to help her study in the United States, so she didn't want to make a noise and did it secretly. The results can not be left behind, forge ahead, and leave a bright back when you leave.
Wen Zhu is still envious that Xiaoxiao has caught up with the good times, the school is so strong that he can't keep it, of course, "the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps", and the little family is not bad for money. Wen Zhu recalled that when he was in the past, he could get a full score in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but language and politics were holding back. "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world. "But my leg is lame, I can't run, and I study a partial subject, the same is true. At that time, the admission score of the technical secondary school was higher than that of the key high school, and the voluntary regulations stipulated that the technical secondary school should not be filled in again. Of course, it's okay if you have to fill it in, it doesn't count. Wen Zhu just wants to jump out of the farm gate and solve problems for his parents as soon as possible. In fact, there is not such a high consciousness, and the state bears most of the costs when going to secondary school to transfer hukou. The high school is self-funded, and after three years, you have to take the college entrance examination, and you will also transfer your household registration if you are admitted. If you can turn around early, why do you have to wait for three years, isn't the cost of those three years in vain? Now that Wenzhu thinks about it, the short-sightedness at that time was not a gift from God, but was caused by the limitations of the countrymen who had not seen the world at that time. In addition, the scenery of the people in the city and the people in the countryside have long been taught, the houses are allocated by the state, the work is also allocated by the state, the gas is burned, and the tap water is used, which is refreshing and clean. There are street lights when you go out at night, which is brighter than the sun. Take the bus to work, a cup of tea, a cigarette, a newspaper for half a day, and the salary is a lot of money. The clothes of the people in the city are much brighter than those of the countrymen, and even the dogs in the city are stronger than those of the countrymen. There are also better things in the countryside than in the city, probably counting the air, fresh. When in the big group, the captain urged the whistle to blow, put down the bowl and go to work, even if the child was fed, he had to leave it, otherwise the captain rolled his eyes and deducted the work points. The chicken is called to the ghost and earns five cents a day. Picking up rivers, repairing canals, harrowing fields, planting seedlings, and harvesting riceγγγγγγ When he was busy, he couldn't see a single grass dancing alone in the wind on the ridge, and he still couldn't eat and clothe when he was green and yellow. When the field is divided into households and works alone, it is also busy, but compared with the collective time, it is much more leisurely, and the time can be arranged freely, and the key is to solve the problem of food and clothing. But compared with the city, the gap is still obvious, Wen Zhuniang said that it was fate. Wenzhu wants to change his fate, but he is not angry, and he falls between the two impartially. "I can't go to the store in front of the store, I can't go to the village in the back", I am not embarrassed, I should not call every day, I call the ground is not spiritual, I picked up a leak for the general high school in Rufeng Town, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are not exempt from half a cent, and the gap in my heart can only be described as a stomach. Many teachers regretted that the energy of reading martial arts books was usually used in language and politics, and the provincial dragon middle school was no problem, and the provincial dragon middle school was the most top-notch high school in the dragon city. Reading martial arts books is beneficial to life, but it is not beneficial to the exam, after all, it is about a chivalrous life, not a technique of soaring, nor pure literature. At that time, Wenzhu also watched TV, rarely watched news broadcasts, and didn't understand what politics was. To think that patriotism means to sing the national anthem, watch patriotic war movies, curse traitors, and hate imperialism. After dinner, take a small bench to watch TV and occupy a vantage point. At that time, there were not many televisions, and every household had them, most of them were black and white, and only the factories had high-grade color televisions; it was similar to watching movies, but movies were rarer, and they had to be rushed. From "Huo Yuanjia" to "Ascending to the Tiger Again", from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to "Shanghai Tang", all the classics are still relished now, and the image of Fa Ge's free and graceful and suave is still fresh in my memory and never fades.
The closer the high school entrance examination is, the more calm and relaxed Xiaoxiao becomes, as if he is confident, full of confidence, just waiting for the horse to ride over and charge into battle. Wen Zhu has a kind of melancholy that has never risen in his chest, he can't say it, he can't tell it, he can't figure it out, he cuts it out in a mess, he suppresses his chest, and sometimes his breathing hurts. It has nothing to do with her grades, nothing to do with her future, nothing to do with his tutor treatment, and nothing to do with his work. For a while, he seemed listless and often wandered, which made people feel wilted. Wen Zhu knew that it was definitely not a disease, but he couldn't get an answer after trying his best, and his nerves were a little disordered. It's like a crowded crowd getting on a minibus in a disorderly manner, and the traffic congestion cannot be solved if the car is crowded. Could it be that he was reluctant to stay away, no, it was he who encouraged her to study abroad, although he had accumulated a deep friendship for a year and a half, but it would not be so melancholy, not to mention that there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. The moon in the sky shines on the window, and the dew on the ground reflects the sunlight, and the melancholy continues unabated.
The page of the high school entrance examination has finally passed, and the fate of many people has reached a turning point, and a good high school can change people's lives, especially children from poor families. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, squeezed through only a part, watching the comrades who fell into the water did not have time to wipe away their tears and turn on the lights at night longer, and they had to stay up for three years, and the gray hair between the green silks could enter another hall and see the dawn of liberation. The people who fell into the water were lonely for a while, sighed a few times, accepted their fate, and became all living beings, even so, they were divided into three religions and nine streams. Xiao Xiao was afraid of accidents, and only filled in a provincial dragon, and some people laughed at her for being crazy, and she said that she was a saint. Her passport and visa have been completed, and the affairs of the United States have been contacted, and she can only wait for the fragrance of osmanthus to leave, and she can spend more than three months at home.
As soon as the little high school entrance examination was over, before the person left the examination room, he threw the pen in his hand from the window on the third floor without a trace, and as for which insect in the flower garden was smashed on the head? People with scores such as anxiety are fools, waste feelings in vain, and are another ravage of life. There are always such people in the world, that is, things that are a fact are still in hope, a chicken is a chicken, a phoenix is a phoenix, and it cannot be reversed. It's hard to have a miracle happen in this kind of exam, six doors! It's common to take a risk or cover it, after all, the mentality will also affect the level of performance, or you happen to meet the right one for you, and he just happens to bump into it.
In the evening, Xiaoxiao called Wenzhu, invited a few friends to the bar, carnival! carnival!
The depression in the chest has nowhere to go, it is better to have a cocktail, the soft taste and some ice are super cool, no matter what kind of "pink beauty" it is, after drinking it, the melancholy in Wenzhu's chest is much less. No wonder Prime Minister Cao Cheng said: How to solve worries, only Du Kang. "Whoever is judging the high school entrance examination will be punished with three glasses of wine!" Xiao Xiao proposed. The crowd responded. The music is slight, the lights are swaying, the staggering of the striking, and the excitement is not surprising! Wine and beauty, regardless of the world! This is a complete relaxation of the whole body, I am too lazy to speak, my eyes are understanding, after this glass, I have another glass. Relieve worries, relieve worries, relieve stress, and also relieve people. Looking at the little eyes overflowing with youthful brilliance, Wen Zhu drank another glass, it is rare to get drunk several times in life, what if you get drunk again? Drunk is just the numbness of the soul and the reincarnation of mountains and rivers. The little silly smiled, bowed his head and made another glass, the wine is just the sustenance of the soul, the drunkenness of the world! After waking up, he threw it out of the clouds, just as a misunderstanding in a dream.
The hearty drinking is not enough, and everyone cheers to go to KTV to sing, Wenzhu is the old Song Jia. Except for the heart beating in the chest, all other sensations belong to others, the head is heavy, the feet are floating, the scene in front of you is paste, and even overlapping phantoms, in fact, the eyes are flowers. What they sang beside him, Wen Zhu was drowsy and didn't know anything. Later, the hearing was a little clear, it seemed to be "Heart Talk", it seemed to be "Happy Journey", and it seemed to be "Let Me Love Enough at One Time". Sometimes I feel like it's nothing, but I feel a voice in my ears staggering, high and low, up and down, sometimes silent, sometimes ringing. The hazy Chinese bamboo head was crooked, leaning on something and falling asleep again, when people woke up, they knew that it was a small fragrant shoulder, no wonder the soft incense. A cluster of people walked out of the KTV gate, Wen Zhu took a sharp breath, and then woke up, it turned out that he was drunk, and apologized to Xiaoxiao repeatedly. Xiaoxiao smiled and said that it was Sister Mei's business, and she did it for her today.
A gust of wind came slowly, blowing away the melancholy and heat of Wenzhu, raising his head full of starlight, sprinkled on the deserted streets, the street lamps did not sleep all night, and the mottled shadows of the trees squirmed on the ground. The night was deep, and a cluster of human figures dissipated their reflections in the water.
The results of the high school entrance examination came out, a few were happy and most worried, and the Yu family was one of the few. The small ranking class leader, the school leader, is only one point away from the champion, and the top ten in the city, which is a jaw-dropping ranking. From the bottom few places in the class to the top ten in the city, what kind of speed has it risen in a year and a half? She is not addicted, if it weren't for Wenzhu's strong dissuasion, she would have asked someone to check the test paper to see if she could collect two points. Because many years later, everyone only remembers the champion, who will think of the leaderboard, and the score is only one point apart. Fate seems to have always been predestined, known for its cruelty, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and sons raised by rats do not necessarily make holes.
In early July, the admission notice of Provincial Dragon High School came, and the school had a dazzling big red news, which was very public. The Yu family was also full of lights, and the guests were invited one after another. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the little mother, Ms. Fang, is as happy as Maitreya Buddha, and she can't close her mouth 24 hours a day. The smile on the face blooms like a flower, once a second, how many times the flower blooms, it is difficult to count. Xiaoxiao was still excited at the beginning, and there was the joy of honoring the ancestors, but later he was bored. However, going to school is a gift, she can only participate hard, eat with her, squeeze and laugh, a little better than a puppet, leave after everything, and have her mother Zhang Luo in other things. Finally, one of the farthest relatives was invited, and the little suffering was finally over.
Xiaoxiao practiced American spoken English hard during the day, and often went to bars to have a certain relationship with this, and dared to talk to foreigners. Foreigners see beautiful women in a foreign country, their enthusiasm is so high that their eyes are green, they shrug their shoulders in amazement, they dance with excitement, and they speak incoherently, perhaps because of their nature, exaggeration is part of foreigners. As for whether the grammar is correct or not, being able to speak and understand is a big thing, and going to the United States cannot let language become an obstacle. There are activities in the evening that are always called Wenzhu, and Wenzhu and her are also teachers and friends, and they do not shirk. It's strange that with Xiaoxiao, the melancholy in Wen Zhu's heart gradually dissolves like ice in wine.
On a Sunday in mid-August, a small banquet was held for all the friends of Ruyi Town who had gathered at the beginning of last year. I heard that Xiaoxiao had a treat, and he came together, and there were many of them, which can be regarded as fulfilling Xiaoxiao's original wine words. Everyone first congratulated the little gold list on the title, then visited the mansion, then took the luxury car, and finally arrived at the best hotel for a big meal. The two teachers looked dignified along the way, and kept saying that they represented the image of Ruyi Town, but they thought about what they were doing. I hope that gold will fall from the sky and smash it on their heads, they are not afraid of breaking their heads and bleeding, and it is better to smash Bai Fumei, they are not afraid of smashing them into meat cakes. Standing at the door of the villa, my heart was a little unbalanced, and after turning around, my heart was even more unbalanced. People are more popular than people, and they take wine and food on the wine table, drink and chew, which does not represent the image of Ruyi Town. The atmosphere is still warm and harmonious, everyone is eating and chatting, and the location is basically the same as last time. It's just that the stars are moving, as if a painting has changed places, and the countryside is hung in the city, and the background is much more magnificent.
During the banquet, Chengbang talked about Wang Zonggui's broken leg, Wen Hui shouted to relieve his anger, and everyone agreed. The elimination of dispensable hidden dangers has no effect on Wenzhu, but it is just a sip of wine, and the alarm on Dong Mei's head can be completely lifted. I don't know if the wronged girls in the countryside have kowtowed and burned incense to worship the Buddha.
When the wine reached the middle seat, Xiao Xiao whispered to Dong Mei, and the two went out hand in hand, others thought they were going to the bathroom, but they didn't care.
As soon as she went out, Dong Mei spoke: "Xiaoxiao, don't talk about it, there is no one now, just say it if you have something to say?"
Xiaoxiao put her index finger to her lips and "shh β
Seeing that Xiaoxiao was so mysterious, Dong Mei was stunned, and she didn't speak, letting her pull it, as if she saw a secret room with a black rumbling, and two people in black were talking face-to-face in the black rumbling. After turning two corners, in an inconspicuous corner, Xiaoxiao opened a secret door in the wall, where she often came, and was very familiar. By the light outside, Dong Mei put her head in, afraid that she would use too much force, and almost hit the opposite wall, and turned around and asked Xiaoxiao: "Secret talk here?" Xiaoxiao nodded. One meter square, the two of them stuffed in, Dong Mei leaned against the wall, a little clinging to the closed door, it was not easy to move. Cut off the light outside, it was really dark inside, August was still hot, the secret room was airtight, sweat came out of the tips of the noses of the two, and it was shiny in the dark. Xiaoxiao remembered something, pulled the lamp, turned on the fan, and with the shaking fan on his head, the two of them were a lot more comfortable in the hazy light. The two were almost the same height, looking at each other, and Dong Mei saw her confusion in her little pupils.
"Sister Mei, do you love Brother Wen?"
"Why do you say this?" Dong Mei was even more confused, Xiaoxiao called Wenzhu Brother Wen instead of teacher.
"Please answer. β
"Everyone on earth knows it. β
"You know what?"
"Know how much love I have for him. β
"So does Brother Wen love you?"
"Earthlings understand. β
"What do you understand?"
"Understand his love for me. β
"Sister Mei, I want to make a deal with you?"
"Is it related to bamboo?"
"Hmm. β
"Please. Dong Mei wanted to find out.
"500,000 to sell you to leave Brother Wen?"
"He's a work of art!"
"A million. Xiao Xiao's heart squeaked, everything done with money is a trivial matter of the world.
"He's not for sale!"
"Two million. β
"I'm not uncommon with 20 million! Our two childhood sweethearts, inseparable, rain or shine, I regard him as my inseparable skin. How could I betray my man, sell my soul, and I love him deeply. Even if he betrays me, I will not betray him. He is the center of my world, everything in everything. Moreover, there is no betrayal between us except trust. Xiaoxiao, don't you like him too? If you want to sell him for money, that's delusional!" Dong Mei was generous and excited, and the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose came out again, and her little eyes flashed when she said it.
"Dislike is fake. Sister Mei, Brother Wen is yours, no one fights with you. That's a great point, and I'm sure it's all from your heart. Brother Wen is an honest person, I am afraid that he will suffer a loss, and I will test you without him, please don't be angry. β
"I'm angry, I know better than you what kind of person Wenzhu is. We stand the test. Dong Mei was aggressive, but her tone was much more relaxed.
"Brother Wen may not have a future, but he deserves it. β
"Wenzhu is a late bloomer, and it will have a future. Dong Mei was-for-tat, and her eyes were brighter than the lights.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head, the shadow of the heart Chinese bamboo snatched a light for Dong Mei, Dong Mei recalled Xiao Xiao's previous words, and the secret room was suddenly silent, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the hotel's heart beating.
"This pendant is your family heirloom, your beloved thing. Xiaoxiao pointed to the jade Guanyin on his chest, broke the calm and said: "You gave it to me without hesitation, I was confused for a moment to take away your love, hung on my chest, and also dissolved into my body temperature and spirituality, it witnessed the deep sisterhood between the two of us." Later, I asked someone to do an appraisal, and it was worth a lot of money, which shows my sister's heart. I wanted to return it today, but I suddenly realized that it still has a use, and it will return to Zhao in a few days, how about it?"
"Sister, what kind of tricks are you playing? The things you give out are like spilled water, and I won't take them back. The best thing is not as good as sisterhood, you just wear it. "Dong Mei is a sister to a sister, and the courtesy is still exchanged.
"I want to use it to test whether Brother Wen has a big radish in his bones. Xiao Xiao returned to normal, grinning.
"Here we go again. I can't help it. β
The two of them came out of the secret room, two worlds, although there was no pleasing scenery in front of them, they were also relaxed. If they stayed in it for a long time, they might suffocate to death, and the two of them paid full attention to Wenzhu and ignored the risks, and they returned to the box sweating. Gong Ping and He Ping shouted: "After a few more rounds of wine, where did you go, punish wine, punish wine." He Yuli said with a smile: "I went to the bathroom several times after being entrusted, and I didn't see anyone alive or dead." Ask the waiter, and they don't know. If you don't come again, ask Wenzhu to fish. "The voice is so loud that it can burst the eardrums. "Is there a Tibetan secret room in this hotel?" Cheng Bang joked. One sentence broke the sky, and Dong Mei was stunned. After all, the secret room is not a place for people to stay, Xiaoxiao made a STOP gesture, drank three glasses of cold beer in a row, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "Who is so disgusting, curse us to fall into the toilet." We just went to a sauna and used to make such a fuss?Sister Mei, isn't it?" Dong Mei nodded in amazement, and everyone saw that they had sweat stains on their bodies that had not dried, so they coaxed them to take a sauna too. The little lie is really clever, and the after-drinking activities are also arranged, just to wash away the stinky sweat.
