Volume 1 That Glimmer Chapter 4 College Entrance Examination
The sun is shining in the mountain town in June, shining on the earth from early morning, the temperature is rising, the people on the street have changed into cool summer clothes, the handsome guys are wearing T-shirts and shirts, full of energy, and the beauties are eager to find their favorite long skirts and show their beautiful figures.
Today is a big day, since the morning, the whole city has been busy, there is only one reason, today's college entrance examination.
"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. This sentence is the most appropriate way to describe the college entrance examination. Tens of millions of students will face a great challenge in their lives today, and the result of the challenge is closely related to their lives. It has always been like this, the students came and went, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the black and white test paper and the weight it carried, and the cycle continued.
Six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and 12 years of hard study are condensed in these last two days. No matter how much you have paid and how much you have gained, maybe you have hesitated, maybe you have been persevering, more than 4,000 days and nights, no matter the wind or rain, no matter how sick you take medicine, the situation of carrying a schoolbag to school is still lingering in your mind, and today, all the persistence, all the efforts, will be here, into a small pen, write your own chapter.
The college entrance examination is a multiple-choice question, in which you choose and be chosen. And the ending of the college entrance examination has always been: "a few happy and a few sad".
If you are titled on the "Gold List", your life may have entered a broad road, and you will be bright from now on, with promotions, salary increases, and career success. If you "fall into the Sun Mountain", your life may have fallen into a stinky ditch, and it will be gray and difficult from then on.
The weight of the college entrance examination is needless to say, at least for most people.
There are always some exceptions to everything, like people like Wang Fatzi, the college entrance examination is not their only choice.
Probably from the beginning of the 90s, the words "study abroad" quietly rose in China. For the sake of the next generation, the small number of people who got rich first did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send them out of the country, in order to receive advanced foreign education. Nowadays, studying abroad has long been commonplace, as long as the economic conditions allow, this is not another way out of the college entrance examination?
There are many famous universities in the world, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, ...... As long as you can get into that level and graduate in a few years, the words "successful person" may not be far from you, but most of them really don't have that ability, and if you are lucky, you can find a good job, and if you are unlucky, you can find a good job, and if you are unlucky, you will not be able to get high or low, and then you will become "returnee (turtle)" to "sea treatment (kelp)". Although the turtle is slow, it still keeps swimming, and the kelp is rooted, but it will still drift with the current, and the most afraid is that it will accidentally become a "sea urchin", hiding itself deep in sharp thorns, isolating from the world, staying in place almost every day, eating and waiting for death.
Wang Fatzi almost didn't think about this, he was called up by his mother early this morning, had breakfast, came to the examination room in a leisurely manner, stood at the gate for a few minutes, and saw Gu Xiaoshi who came in a hurry.
Gu Xiaoshi's community school does not have the qualifications to undertake the college entrance examination, so dozens of people in the class must go to an examination room in the city to take the exam, which is really not close, plus a bit of traffic jam, it took a lot of time, so he arrived on time.
Wang Fatzi actually wore a pair of black-framed glasses today, and his small eyes kept scanning the surroundings through the lenses, as if something had attracted his attention.
Gu Xiaoshi walked to the fat man's side, but the fat man was still staring in one direction, unable to take his eyes off it.
"Don't look at it, it's all in. Gu Xiaoshi stabbed the fat man with his hand.
"More than 70 points, less than 80 points, both! The appearance is pure, the waist is also very thin, the main deduction point is on the chest, neither of them is big enough!" said the fat man quite professionally.
Gu Xiaoshi followed the fat man's gaze and saw two graceful figures, and he knew that the fat man was standing in front of the school gate, not for anything else, just to see beautiful girls, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
"Who are you?" Gu Xiaoshi stared at Wang Fatzi, with a round fleshy face, black frames, and small eyes.
"You say this?" said the fat man, pointing to the black glasses on his face.
Gu Xiaoshi nodded.
"To see more clearly, of course. Wang Fatzi's eyes were rolling, exuding a "wise" light.
"Nice, very aggressive. Gu Xiaoshi nodded like, thinking that this fat man was really rare today, so he deliberately wore a pair of glasses and prepared to "do a big job" in the examination room.
The fat man suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter alarmed the teacher on duty in front of the door, what day is today? Every candidate is waiting for him, this fat man is laughing so wildly, what are you going to do?
"You two," the teacher on duty walked over and said to the fat man and Gu Xiaoshi, "Are you taking the exam?"
The fat man wilted in an instant, nodding honestly, like a fat quail.
After checking the admission tickets of the two, the teacher said earnestly: "It is very important to adjust the emotions on the spot, you must calm down and take the test with a normal heart, so that you can play the real level, this fat classmate, you laugh so loudly, it is easy to make yourself too excited!"
"Teacher, it's good if you call me a classmate, can you not add the word 'fat' in front of it?" This is a common problem of fat people, who are fat, but they don't like others to say that they are fat.
The teacher also seemed to feel a little inappropriate, coughed dryly twice, and quickly changed the topic: "The time is coming soon, why don't you two go in yet, find your seat early, calm yourself down quickly, and prepare for the exam!"
Gu Xiaoshi was worried that the fat man would say something again, so he hurriedly agreed, and pulled the fat man to flash him.
The college entrance examination in Shancheng, like most provinces, adopts the 3+1 system, that is, Chinese, mathematics, English and arts and sciences comprehensive, this morning to test Chinese, afternoon mathematics, tomorrow morning to take the arts and sciences comprehensive, afternoon is the last - English, two days and four subjects, everything is over after the exam, is happy or sad, go home and wait for the results to be announced.
Wang Fatzi is lucky and unfortunate today. Fortunately, with his excellent eyesight and prepared glasses, he managed to "borrow" a little, but unfortunately, the person in front of him, who seemed to be not doing well in his studies, did not seem to have finished his essay when the bell rang......
The two made an appointment to meet in front of the school gate after the exam, and Wang Fatzi knew that Gu Xiaoshi would not have time to go home, so he said in advance that he would go to Wang Fatzi's house for dinner and rest at noon in the past two days. Wang Fatzi's house is not far from this examination room, and it takes about ten minutes to walk, and the two rushed home, and the fat man's mother had already asked the nanny and aunt to make lunch, or a specially prepared "exam nutritious meal". Fat mother, fat man and Gu Xiaoshi, three people eat, seven dishes and one soup, a table is full, Gu Xiaoshi has not eaten such a good meal for a long time, five meat and two vegetables, meat dishes are: steamed grouper, celery shrimp tail, spicy crab, garlic sprouts salt fried meat and kung pao chicken; vegetarian dishes are stir-fried snow peas and garlic lettuce, especially the pot of soup, fat mother made a morning, Tianma Sanbao pigeon soup, said to be able to relieve pressure, regulate nerves.
Gu Xiaoshi ate so much that after the meal, he squinted for a while on the big sofa in the fat man's room, and the fat man made full use of the lunch break to happily "eat chicken" for two hours, and then the two slowly walked to the examination room to take the afternoon math test.
The next day was the same, when the last bell rang, it was finally over.
It was still early, the two walked together, and the fat man chirped and said something crookedly. I won't go back to dinner tonight, which was promised yesterday. The fat man told his father that he wanted to celebrate with Gu Xiaoshi after the exam and wanted to eat a buffet, and the fat man father happily threw ten sheets to the fat man and asked them to go to the Marriott Hotel in the city center, which is a high-end five-star hotel in the mountain city, and the Western-style buffet in it is expensive, but the quality is really good, the key is that there are a wide variety of ingredients, which can meet different needs.
The two talked as they walked, summing up the situation of the past two days.
The fat man's language is average, mathematics is completely unknown, and the comprehensive liberal arts is even more in the clouds, time and energy are spent on games, only English is slightly better, after all, the game man in the new era, how much he knows a little English, so "professional" needs it! Gu Xiaoshi is almost the same in every subject, not much better, and not far behind, after all, he has a deep learning foundation, his junior high school grades are so good, although he didn't put his mind on studying, he didn't spend more time memorizing and memorizing, and he could barely keep up.
When it was time to separate, the fat man did not forget to advise: "Don't forget that Chuqing asked us to go out to sit tomorrow, on time." ”
Gu Xiaoshi's mind came up with a youthful and beautiful face, her name is Zhao Chuqing, she used to be in the same community, until after graduating from junior high school, she moved out of the community with her parents and transferred to a key high school in the city.
Zhao Chuqing is a beautiful girl, good at studying, no matter the big or small exams, the results are always second only to the previous Gu Xiaoshi, the two are childhood sweethearts, and they are nicknamed "golden boy and jade girl" and "natural pair" by those gossipy classmates.
There was an accident at home, Gu Xiaoshi was forced by life, and he had no more energy to focus on studying, his grades plummeted, and Zhao Chuqing also transferred to another school......
Gu Xiaoshi laughed at himself, nodded slightly to Wang Fatzi, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
In any case, the college entrance examination is over, life is about to start a new journey, and this holiday is not destined to be peaceful.
