Chapter 19: The Final Battle
The next day, July 7, is the first day of the college entrance examination.
Don't Chang'an didn't get up very early, it was still the same time as usual.
After getting up, he sat at the desk, first read the sample essay of the Chinese composition, glanced at the poems and sentences he had sorted out, and finally put the necessary stationery and admission ticket in the file bag, and then went out for breakfast.
Don't dad didn't come out of the stall today, and the rare one is also at home.
"Son, don't be nervous, you can take whatever you want. "At dinner, Don't Dad instructed.
Mother Don't also echoed on the side, "Yes, don't be too burdensome." ”
Don't Chang'an looked at his parents, and he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
The mother who works all the year round, and the father who goes out early and returns late every day to set up a stall in the market, although these two people say that they don't care, they actually hope that their son can be admitted to a good university and graduate in the future.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will do my best. I'll go by myself later, and you can just wait for me at home. Don't Chang'an said to them confidently.
Before going out, Bei's mother took a bottle of cold mineral water for Bei Chang'an and told him, "Take the test well." ”
"Yes. ”
……
Jiangzhou No. 4 Middle School is not far from Chang'an's home, and it is only ten minutes away.
Walking on the road, Bei Chang'an's mood relaxed a lot.
He didn't want his parents to send him, the most important reason was that he was afraid that he would be nervous and that he would live up to his parents' hard work.
Outside the gate of No. 4 Middle School, many parents who came to see off the students had already surrounded the road in front of the door. The traffic police were evacuating traffic, and a sign was also erected on the road, which read: "Make way for the college entrance examination." During the exam, it is forbidden to honk the horn. ”
Looking at the expectant eyes of those parents, Bei Changan can understand their feelings very well.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
They pinned all their hopes on their children.
And whether this hope can come true depends on today.
So sometimes, the college entrance examination is not your own business.
It is a battle, a battle where students, parents, and teachers fight side by side!
……
When he was about to enter the examination room, Don't Chang'an met Wang Yifan on the playground.
Wang Yifan glanced at him, Bei Changan nodded, and whispered to him behind him: "I'll do the language myself." ”
Wang Yifan made an "ok" gesture to him.
……
The first subject, language.
This is the most confident subject in Bei Chang'an except for English. He believes that with his experience, he can handle it completely.
Fifteen minutes before the start of the exam, the bell rang.
Two invigilators walked in, a man and a woman.
After a while, one of the female teachers began to read out the examination room discipline to everyone, and the other male teacher began to check the candidates' admission tickets table by table to prevent anyone from taking the exam for them.
When the male teacher walked next to Bei Chang'an, he looked at his admission ticket, and then looked at Bei Chang'an, and asked, "This photo doesn't look like it?"
Don't Chang'an smiled, "It's like a fake." ”
The male teacher also smiled and stopped talking.
The bell rings the second time.
The test papers were sent in, and the female teacher stood on the podium to unpack them, and then divided them into groups of ten and handed them to the first boy in each row.
When he began to pass the papers, the male teacher reminded: "Don't write before the bell rings, first write your name and exam number, and seat number, don't be wrong, otherwise it will be troublesome, you must be careful!"
Wang Yifan passed the scroll to Bei Chang'an.
Don't Chang'an took a copy, and then continued to pass it down.
At the same time, he quickly skimmed through the questions on the test paper.
Typos are corrected, pronunciation is wrong, and the ancient poems are filled in the blanks with "The Story of Yueyang Tower", "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", and "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion". The classical Chinese is "Shooting Speaking, Yuan is Good to Ask", the reading comprehension is an excerpt from "Suzhou Garden", and there is also an article on the creativity of science.
The final essay question is......
Don't Chang'an flipped to the end to check, and found that it was the same as the previous one, and it was really the semi-proposition composition!
"Happiness is-", and then free to play to fill in the topic!
Five minutes later, the bell rang.
"Alright, let's get started!" the teacher finally gave the order to start writing.
Don't let out a long breath, and then started to answer the question.
The first few grammar questions are not too difficult. Typos are easy to correct, and with a little care, you can tell which option is wrong. Fill in the blanks with ancient poems and famous sentences, and the famous sentences in "The Story of Yueyang Tower" are no longer familiar to Chang'an.
But "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" and the later "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", he didn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't memorize this.
It is difficult to read and comprehend classical Chinese, but fortunately, they are all multiple-choice questions, and there is only one translation.
In the modern essay later, Don't Chang'an answered very easily, wrote hard all the way, and answered directly to the composition.
Don't Chang'an smiled and took out the "Fan Wen" he had prepared.
"Happiness is a Feeling"
At the beginning, Don't Chang'an directly named him, saying that happiness is a feeling, and gave an example of people who did not eat well and did not dress warmly when they were short of material resources during the three-year natural disaster, but this period of time is always evocative.
Then he quoted a philosopher.
There is not a lack of beauty in the world, but a lack of discovery. The same is true of happiness, there is no lack of happiness in the world, but a lack of the feeling of appreciating happiness.
After clarifying his point of view, Bei Changan gave another example to illustrate.
The two have different pursuits between the stinky tofu seller and the wealthy man, so the feeling of happiness is also different. The owner of the stinky tofu seller is happy when he finds that his turnover in one day is much higher than the day before.
But when the rich man heard that his stock had fallen by 20 percent overnight, he jumped off the building and committed suicide.
Although the money he has now is enough for that vendor of stinky tofu for several lifetimes.
Therefore, if you are not rich, you are happy, and if you don't have money, you are unhappy.
More often than not, happiness is just a feeling.
Writing here, don't Chang'an closely focus on the idea and the topic of the article.
Finally, through the in-depth excavation of the two examples, Bei Changan began to explain his own views again.
The rich have the happiness of the rich, and the poor have the happiness of the poor.
When a rich man spends a lot of money, that sense of grandeur will bring him happiness;
If a rich man is diligent and thrifty in keeping his family, can he use his limited funds to make a family run normally, and not he can also bring the joy of success? When a rich man suffers from a terminal illness, he can use money to alleviate his illness and prolong his life;
Thinking that if I had no money, I would have died a long time ago, so a sense of happiness arose;
And a person who has no money suffers from a terminal illness, although he has no money for treatment, he will think, compared with the vast universe that is boundless in space and has no beginning and no end in time, life is only a moment, and what is the difference between a hundred years and eighty years?
If we lack a sense of happiness, we will only be blinded by the beauty of life, and we will only see pain and suffering.
Name and deepen the theme.
……
After answering all the questions, Bei Changan checked it from beginning to end, and wrote down all the answers on the eraser he had prepared.
Although it was still early to hand in the papers, Bei Changan did not choose to submit the papers in advance, and he did not want to leave too much impression on the invigilator, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.
Because it is not surprising that the mathematics in the afternoon should also be these two teachers.
Half an hour later, the bell rang and the teacher came over to collect the papers and answer sheets.
When everything was over, Don't Chang'an packed up his things and walked out of the classroom.
During the whole process, he didn't say a word to Wang Yifan, and he didn't even look at him.
