Chapter 7: The Flowing Fire of July (3)
In the evening, according to the appointment before the exam, the students gathered at Lu Yuhao's house, ready to play all night to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination. After Ye Ziyu went excitedly, he found that there were a lot of people who came, Liu Xuan, Liu Yiya, Jiang Yanxi, Zhang Zhiyan, etc., who usually played well, all arrived, a total of five men and seven women, nearly half of the total number of people in the class. In addition, there is another good show tonight: the semi-finals of the 14th World Cup, Netherlands vs Brazil.
As soon as the meal was served, I heard Liu Xuan raise his glass and shout: "It's good that the exam is over, it's worth celebrating." Cheers, everyone!"
Liu Yiya said to Liu Xuan: "What are you celebrating now, what should you do if you don't get in?"
Liu Xuan pouted and said, "This matter has to be left to fate." Besides, you've been the first in your class in the past few years, so it's not your turn to worry about it, right?"
"That's not exactly. ”
Liu Yiya was not worried verbally, but she smiled. She is the proud daughter of the class, not to mention her grades, and her appearance is also the most beautiful among the girls in her grade, her father is the general manager of a company, and her family conditions are superior, and many of her senior classmates have written love letters to her. But because she is so good, the boy has the feeling of being a head short in front of her, and Ye Ziyu is especially strong. Because from the beginning of his sensibility, he followed the example of his fathers and wanted to get ahead. At the very least, it can't be said that their family is inferior to the next.
The students chatted with great interest until midnight until the start of the competition. When the players from both sides entered, Jiang Yanxi suddenly said: "Let's guess who will win Brazil or the Netherlands?"
"Okay", everyone echoed.
Liu Xuan continued: "Whoever guesses the result shows that he will definitely be able to be admitted to the university this time, okay?"
Everyone laughed and reported their predictions. As a result, all five girls guessed that Brazil won, and two boys guessed that Brazil won. Ye Ziyu and Lu Yuhao were originally die-hard fans of Argentina, but unfortunately the Argentine team lost to Romania in the quarterfinals due to Maradona's ban, and they were saddened when they learned about it. Originally, the Netherlands and Brazil were both old enemies of Argentina, but they did not like Brazil even more, so they wanted the Netherlands to win.
This year is the first year of China's professional football league, and Jincheng also has a A A team, with average skills but unique scenery, which has attracted the attention of many young people. Crazy fans also earned Jincheng the title of "Gold Medal Ball City". For example, both boys and girls in Ye Ziyu's class are very good at football evaluation.
The scores of this event came and went, and everyone made bets like the college entrance examination, so the game was fierce, and their laughter was even more intense. Although it is just a joke that whoever guesses the result will be admitted to university, but in everyone's hearts, they are looking forward to guessing in order to get a good lottery.
In the first half, the two teams were tied. Whoever guesses which side wins, the tension is even greater. But shortly after the start of the second half, Brazilian striker Bebeto suddenly made a powerful shot and exceeded the score. Watching him proudly run to the sidelines and dance the samba with his teammates, the students who guessed the Brazilian victory shouted excitedly. Ye Ziyu and Lu Yuhao's hearts couldn't help but sink. They were even more overwhelmed by the final outcome: Brazil won 3-2.
After the east turned white, the students went home unsatisfied.
Then, on the evening of July 14, it was the night of the World Cup final, Brazil VS Italy. Both sides have won three World Championships and are evenly matched. Ye Ziyu watched the game alone at home this time, he still stubbornly hoped that Italy would win the cup, but deep down in his heart, he vaguely felt that Brazil was more sure of winning.
In the 90-minute game, the two sides ended 0-0, and after extra time, there was still no score. As the sky dawned, the two teams went into a brutal penalty shootout. When the Italian god of war, Robert Baggio, kicked the ball away with an unbearable weight in his life, and sighed helplessly, through his palpitating, dark blue melancholy eyes and lonely back, Ye Ziyu felt that when Baggio stood in front of the ball, he seemed to know that the ball would kick away, but he was powerless to save it, this was his fate. As it turned out, this was the closest Baggio came to a world title.
Becoming the king and losing, Ye Ziyu was in no mood to watch the final award ceremony, and he turned off the TV in frustration.
During this period, he wanted to go to Yang Wanqing, but in the end he held back. He thought, it's better to wait for the results to be announced and go to her after the score line, otherwise he won't be able to settle down.
The college entrance examination scores have not yet been announced, and he has gradually become nervous, looking forward to getting the scores as soon as possible, but also afraid of getting the scores.
Time does not turn by human will, it still passes day by day.
On the day the results of the college entrance examination were announced, Ye Ziyu and Lu Yuhao didn't dare to go to school alone, so they made an appointment to get the transcript together. Along the way, they didn't want to meet their classmates, but they met Liu Yiya and Jiang Yanxi. The two girls just came out after receiving their report cards, with a relaxed face, seeing the two of them, greeting them with a smile, Ye Ziyu couldn't help but ask Liu Yiya:
"So happy, full marks, right?"
"you, it's only 582. ”
"Only 582?" Ye Ziyu thought to herself, why do you have to use the word 'cai', you are stinky and beautiful. The city's estimated key line is also around 550, and she knows that the key points on this score are nine out of ten, so what to say.
Jiang Yanxi is not bad, with 530 points.
"How many points did you score?" Liu Yiya asked rhetorically.
"It's estimated that there could be 750. ”
"750 out of a perfect score?"
"I mean we're both together. ”
"I hate it, the teacher is in front, don't go quickly. ”
"Isn't this in a hurry? "The brothers are obviously heroic and short of breath.
At this time, Liu Yiya asked again: "Do you want us to wait for you to go together?"
On weekdays, Ye Ziyu couldn't wait to go all the way with Liu Yiya, but at this time, he could only say:
"No need, we'll have other things to do later, you two go first. ”
The two of them received the report card in shock, and walked to no man's land in a few steps, Ye Ziyu looked at it, and his little heart suddenly cooled by half: his Chinese was just 100 points, which was unsatisfactory; he scored 122 points in the history test, which is a pity; politics is not high or low 90 points, and his performance is normal; his English has reached 86 points, which has made great progress; and the hateful thing is mathematics, which is only 40 points, which is not enough, which is simply nonsense. Total score: 438 points. Look at Lu Yuhao's again, with a total score of 440 points. The brothers are really a good pair of brothers.
In their minds, they don't feel good about this score.
A few days later, the online score was announced: 490 points! Even if you add the total score of 20 points that others can't envy, it's a drop in the bucket and useless. This time, the two really became brothers.
In fact, this is also reasonable, Ye Ziyu is not very sure about the college entrance examination. Now, he felt very uncomfortable, and Yang Wanqing appeared in his heart over and over again. He thought that Wanqing would definitely be admitted, but if he didn't get in, how could he still associate with her? He thought of his father again, and his father was able to be admitted to a key university in the 50s, but what about him, in the 90s, at the end of the century, in a society that attaches more and more importance to academic qualifications, he has not won the right to receive higher education, what else can he do? At this time, Liu Yiya and Jiang Yanxi's family may be raising a glass to celebrate and beaming with joy. He has always written good articles, but what's the use? It's the end of the 20th century, not the era of Qian Zhongshu at the beginning of the 20th century. When the title of the gold list was unfinished, a few families were happy and a few were sad. He seems to understand a little bit why there are always people who commit suicide because they failed the college entrance examination in the past.
