Chapter 9: This is the dark horse
A month before the high school entrance examination, the school is preparing to hold a most difficult examination, according to the class teacher, this exam is the closest to the difficulty standard of the entrance examination, but also for students and teachers to have a general understanding of their own batch of graduates, so that students can consider themselves and the school they are applying for.
As a result, many people were depressed after the exam, "This is too difficult, it seems that this year I can't even pass the second high school in the city, this is simply difficult to die." ”
Usually individual teachers always focus on the top ten in the class, focusing on checks, Zhang Xiaoyao always has opinions about individual teachers who treat their classmates unfairly, mainly because Xu Wenjing is not in the top ten, but because of the uncle, Zhang Xiaoyao has also stained a lot of light, but his grades have always been average.
In this exam, he deliberately put the questions that usually feel a little more difficult and did not do them, finished the test papers early, and saw that there were a few people who handed in the papers before going up to hand in the test papers, in order not to behave so weirdly suddenly, and also wanted to give a big "surprise" to the individual teachers who usually only have the top ten good students in their eyes during the high school entrance examination, so after the results, Zhang Xiaoyao's score is still average.
Since he has the strongest brain, Zhang Xiaoyao has made up his mind that this time the goal has changed from the second high to the first high, after all, the strongest brain has only been more than two months, and such days are still going on, but Zhang Xiaoyao's vision is different.
In the last half month of the countdown to the high school entrance examination, Zhang Xiaoyao pretended to be sick and asked for leave, saying that he was the last sprint to buy review materials and asked his mother for a lot of money, and his mother was very happy to give it, Zhang Xiaoyao rode to the city to buy a lot of junior high school and high school book digests, and also went to the Xinhua Bookstore to read books for a week and listened to English listening and speaking for several days.
The last two days of the countdown to the high school entrance examination are on vacation, and all junior high school graduates are ready to use the hard work of the past three years to be admitted to a satisfactory high school.
The day before the high school entrance examination, Zhang Xiaoyao followed the school and lived in the city's Shengshan Hotel, on this day the students will go to see the test center in advance according to the admission ticket, Zhang Xiaoyao accompanied a few classmates to see the examination room early, and bought pancakes and fruits, white buns and a bottle of water at the stall at noon, lay down in the house and slept in the afternoon, came out at night to drink a bowl of noodles, and fell asleep after eating a steamed bun and tofu skewers.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on June 25, the students all began to enter the examination room, Zhang Xiaoyao is in the examination room is just the first high school in the city, the blue glazed tile gate, approaching the left side of the gate is a ten-story high science and technology building, facing the gate is a high teaching building, Zhang Xiaoyao is in the first examination room on the first floor of the teaching building.
In the first Chinese test, after handing out the papers, Zhang Qiankun carefully looked at the questions of the test papers, and then all the knowledge about the language in his mind began to appear quickly, such as poetry, couplets, compositions, translations, classical Chinese, etc.
Zhang Xiaoyao quickly finished the previous questions, only one essay is to write an essay in praise of people, or things, Zhang Xiaoyao thought about it and wrote an essay in praise of the hometown acacia flowers, title: How many degrees of acacia flowers fragrance? After writing the composition, he looked at the students who were still taking the exam, Zhang Xiaoyao was the first to hand in the paper, and once upon a time Zhang Xiaoyao never had such courage.
The history of the second exam, as well as physics and chemistry in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyao was the first to hand in the papers he was satisfied with, and the invigilator was also surprised: "Is it the top student in this examination room?
Back at the hotel, Zhang Xiaoyao didn't talk to anyone about the exam, just silently watched as some of them were proud, some were frustrated, or some didn't care.
On the morning of June 26, the subjects of today's examination were mathematics, politics and English, and Zhang Xiaoyao was the first to hand in all of them.
The high school entrance examination is finally over, and it is temporarily liberated, as long as you wait for the results.
In mid-July, the results of all the candidates appeared in the office of the education committee of the township middle school, and all the students had to go to the school to collect the results, and then the school held a graduation class assembly.
The students have not yet arrived, but the office of the Education Commission has already become bustling.
"This is the biggest dark horse this year! Not only this year, the biggest dark horse in decades! The fighting horse among the city's first dark horses! Teacher Zhang, you have shocked everyone's eyes in the third class of three years! How did your nephew Zhang Xiaoyao teach?" said the director of the teaching department in surprise.
Teacher Zhang was also surprised: "What's wrong with Xiaoyao? I didn't teach him much, but I was usually strict with him, and besides, I just taught Chinese classes!"
"Zhang Xiaoyao is amazing! Only 118 points for 2 points in English, 120 points in Chinese, 120 points in mathematics, 50 points in history, 50 points in chemistry, 70 points in politics, and 70 points in physics are all full marks, with a total score of 598 points, the first in the city!
"I didn't know that Xiaoyao was so powerful, I've always been average, and I've worked hard in the last three months, so it's not so amazing!
Later, the students all arrived at the school and held a graduation class meeting, praised Zhang Xiaoyao in public, and after reading Zhang Xiaoyao's results, the teachers and students of the whole school were stunned, especially the mathematics and English teachers in the third class of the third year, and the top ten students in the third class.
Of course, Xu Wenjing's academic performance is also good, usually there are more than a dozen students in the class, I don't know if I can be admitted to the first high school this time, and I have to wait for the admission score to come down.
Zhang Xiaoyao took a deep look at the pensive Xu Wenjing and thought: "Wenjing, I will get closer and closer to you, I will never be afraid of walking again, I will use my radiant body to shake the peach blossoms all over the mountain for you." ”
After the conference, each class took a graduation photo of the whole class together.
At the end of July, the city high schools and county high schools announced the admission scores, and in early August, they began to admit students one after another, Zhang Xiaoyao was the least worried about school admission, and he was also one of the students who were very worried about school admission, because he wanted to know which high school Xu Wenjing would attend.
Ding Ding Ding. Zhang Qiankun's phone rang again, and his father hung up the phone and said happily: "It was Director Wang from the city high school who called and asked if you wanted to go to the city high school, which is the best high school in the city. ”
Ding Ding Ding... This time it was Zhang Xiaoyao who answered the phone, and Zhao Zhenyu was pleasantly surprised on the phone: "Xiaoyao, I arrived at the first high school in the city, the score is just right, we are going to be in the same school again, the two of them politely said a few words, Zhang Xiaoyao is also really happy for Zhao Zhenyu, if it is not himself, if he does not have the strongest brain, I am afraid that Zhao Zhenyu is the most surprising existence of the teachers, usually close to twenty in the class, but this time he squeezed out one of the top ten." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao just hung up the phone, ding ding... The bell rang again, this time it was the phone of the first high school in the city, and the director Xiong on the phone said in a consultative tone: "Thank you for applying for our school, the pearl class of the school is reserved for you, the tuition fee is also waived, and the scholarship can be given to you in advance, I have also inquired about your previous junior high school deeds, rest assured that the city No. 1 middle school can give you greater freedom, you are the first in the city, in order to promote our school, the leader in charge of school enrollment contacted the city newspaper and wanted to make a special issue about you, the first in the city and apply for our school, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoyao remembered the helplessness of his parents every time he asked him to invite his parents, the expressions of his parents who hated iron but not steel, and the uncle's earnest teaching. There is also Zhao Zhenyu's phone, the most important thing is that he has a large degree of freedom, and he can also be famous in the newspaper, which makes the school and his parents have a big face, and finally Zhang Xiaoyao decided to reply to Director Xiong on the market.
The next day, the city newspaper published the city's subjects and the city's total score of the city's first place in a township middle school student Zhang Xiaoyao's big slogan and photos, as well as the township middle school principal and the head teacher Uncle Zhang and the evaluation of Zhang Xiaoyao's performance by the teachers of each subject to encourage all the students, of course, these performances and evaluations are very inconsistent with the usual Zhang Xiaoyao, Zhang Xiaoyao also felt that this is simply a living lie, reversing black and white.
Finally, the newspaper also published Zhang Xiaoyao's full-score essay "Several Degrees of Acacia Flowers" as a conclusion.
The text of "How Many Degrees of Acacia Flowers?" is as follows:
I was amazed by the enthusiasm of my neighbors and the changes in my hometown, but what surprised and moved me the most was the blooming locust flowers.
The acacia tree does not have the smoothness of the plane tree, nor the softness of the weeping willow, nor the straightness of the poplar tree, but she has created a myth of her own - ancient trees give birth to flowers, flowers stay in people's homes, and food is talked about.
The locust flowers are in full bloom, not arrogant or rash, and the acacia fragrance is pervasive, tepid.
Every leaf is full of life, and every bud is stretched.
Her beauty is bold and unassuming, her incense is pure and unreserved, and her heart is in harmony with nature, cool and not hot.
The place where a grain of sand can always be accommodated in the dense leaves of the flowers is a nostalgia for spring, or an expression of her own soul? Maybe it does not belong to the light of our hearts, she has no choice.
The acacia flowers in the mountains are far away from the disturbing scenery of the world, and as far as the eye can see, they are like jasper with dazzling bright white, and they are like the Milky Way that separates the hometown from the heavenly river.
After a spring rain, the air is permeated with her faint fragrance, and she seems to be a drunk person sleeping leisurely in the gentleness of the wind.
The splendor of the day burned her enthusiasm, and the midday sun melted her fragrance.
She sings her songs and tells the story of a beautiful life, she expresses her warmth and fills her eyes with smiles, she looks at the path ahead and walks hand in hand with you, she dedicates her soul and body to provide you with eternal motivation.
The acacia flowers are grateful, there is no complaint or regret, and the acacia incense is gone, and there is no retention.
When the locust flower loses its gorgeous appearance, when the locust flower loses the joy of blooming, when the locust flower can't retain the first memory...... When the locust flowers are scattered, but the flowers in the heart bloom once and become eternal flowering.
At the end of the mysterious, enchanting twilight, she was left alone to sigh, struggling with her fate, longing for the arrival of dreams, and picking up the continuation of life in the hazy night.
She fell asleep deeply, no longer looking for the strange footprints, she rested quietly, no longer nostalgic for the sweetness of the blue sky and white clouds, she was like a valley, quietly sprinkled herself into the night, scattered the heart lake. Her pale face gradually aged a world, but she was still so innocent, making people grateful and gracious to others.
Her silent eyes can no longer ripple, but she still has a smile, which makes people pay attention at a glance, think about it for a hundred years, and taste the aftertaste in her broad mind.
The acacia flowers are grateful, and they are sprinkled with rain all over the sky, sprinkled on the earth, sprinkled on the heart, and sprinkled on the world full of benevolence.
If there is love in life, hope will come into being, and if there is love in life, the flower of the soul will never wither.
The bees work hard because of the acacia flowers, and the locust flowers become the honey locust flowers. Spring is full of acacia nectar, and acacia nectar is condensed in the heart.
The locust flowers in the mountains bloom in spring, and the acacia fragrance is intoxicating and everyone wanders. The sea of flowers, the heart of the flower,
Remembering that life is short, and the years urge people to grow old. Today's wind sends spring back, how many degrees of acacia flowers?
