Chapter 1: The Road is Long and Obstructive (1)
Inscription: "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Pu Jia": "The so-called Yi people, on the water side, trace back to it, and the road is long and obstructive. ”
......
In Ye Ziyu's memory, the distant spring in the nineties was the brightest.
The weather warmed up early that year. In the early morning, the sun shines softly on people, which is very comfortable and clean. Even the quilt was full of the fragrance of sunshine, so Ye Ziyu always wanted to be lazy. But he still had to force himself to get up early, because for all the Chinese people, there was nothing big going on at that time, but for Ye Ziyu and his classmates, they had to be nervous. Because it is about their turn to face the college entrance examination like a single-plank bridge.
In the middle school where Ye Ziyu studied, all the classrooms of the third year of high school have been pasted with bright red slogans, such as "Fight for 120 days and be admitted to a good university, work hard to win the final victory, win glory for your alma mater, and be a useful talent", etc., which are very eye-catching.
When Ye Ziyu rode a bicycle into the school, when she saw these words, she felt a little helpless and stressed. The college entrance examination is becoming more and more like the imperial examination. Parents often say that being admitted to university is like being the champion, glorifying their ancestors. But in ancient times, there was only one champion in each imperial examination, and if he won it, he entered the court as an official. What can you do now when you take the college entrance examination as the champion? In today's society, everything is devalued, and even the champion is no exception?
Ye Ziyu grew up in a traditional cultural family in Jincheng, and his father Ye Chengxuan had high expectations for him, and often told him about the deeds of the elders in the family, hoping that he could take him as an example, so he could listen to it by heart. Ye Ziyu's great-ancestor was a scholar and a rank in the former Qing imperial examination, and was awarded a term as the Taoist platform of the province. Although his grandfather was born in troubled times, he was a young businessman, with a unique vision, and he gained more abundantly. It's just that in the last years of the Republic of China, civil wars broke out, and the family road fell into decline. In his parents' generation, he just worked as an ordinary worker all his life. And this year, it is the age when my father plans to retire.
His father's education of Ye Ziyu somewhat had the flavor of the old traditional big family, and he let him memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Analects" since he was a child. Ye Chengxuan is open-minded by nature, and thinks that if he reads more sage articles, he will naturally have a little more elegance when he grows up, but he doesn't want his son to be full of poetry and old age. Therefore, when teaching him to study, it is mostly for entertainment.
Originally, his son was only five or six years old, how could he understand so much? asked him to recite "Gou is not taught, sex is migration", Ye Ziyu always understood it as "the dog does not bark, who will lead it?" told his son that "only women and villains are difficult to raise", Ye Ziyu also did not understand the relationship between women and villains. He asked his father, "Is it true that girls are not as good as men when they are young?" So my mother said, do you want a man and don't want a daughter?"
Ye Chengxuan smiled indifferently, and didn't explain much, just said that you will know when you grow up. I don't know what kind of impact it will have on my son's growth.
Ye Ziyu's grades were only average in the class, and he was too biased. In every test, it is difficult to pass mathematics and foreign languages, but the subjects of Chinese, history, and geography are surprisingly good. This may be due to the fact that I memorized ancient texts when I was a child and liked liberal arts. Although he can memorize the article "University" well, if the two main courses are not good, the college entrance examination will be quite difficult. Whether their son can be admitted to college is the top priority for parents this year.
Ye Ziyu is tall, a little thin, but his facial features are not thin, and he is very handsome. He has an active personality, because he reads a lot, he can always talk to people, and he is very popular in the class.
At this moment, he walked into the classroom and greeted his classmates. There are fewer students in the liberal arts class, and they have a good relationship with each other. Since this high school career is coming to an end in a few months, everyone cherishes it even more.
After taking his seat, Liu Yiya, a representative of the history department, came over and told him that the city's senior high school liberal arts students would have to attend a history lecture before the college entrance examination at the Municipal College of Education starting this Sunday.
Liu Yiya is the most beautiful girl in the class, and her classmates affectionately call her Xiaoya. Ye Ziyu always likes to talk to her, he once wondered, did he like Liu Yiya, but when he saw the beautiful girls in other classes, he also had a feeling of wanting to be close to her. So he wondered with fear that he was born to be so distracted, and he was angry with himself for a while. Occasionally, when facing Liu Yiya, I will feel inexplicably guilty. As everyone knows, Liu Yiya never dreamed that Ye Ziyu once had such a feeling. Adolescent teenagers always love wishful thinking. But the young man's state of mind, recalled many years later, is so funny, but there is a hint of sweetness.
"At nine o'clock in the morning, the teacher will take the roll call, don't think about being lazy. Liu Yiya said with a smile.
"How is that possible? I like to learn from history, and of course I go early in the morning. He replied with a smile.
In fact, now I have a lot of homework, go to bed late and get up early, and I hope to have a lazy sleep on Sunday. Ye Ziyu believed that his history homework was very good, and he didn't plan to listen to the lecture at all.
Between classes, he found Lu Yuhao to chat. The two have always been best friends in high school, Lu Yuhao's parents are both soldiers, and he grew up in the military camp since he was a child.
When they were leaning on their desks, another classmate, Liu Xuan, also came over, and Ye Ziyu asked, "Are you going to listen to the lecture on Sunday?"
Liu Xuan replied, "Of course." You're not going?
Ye Ziyu said: "I think it's hard to have a Sunday where I can sleep more, and I don't plan to go." Xiao Ya said that the history teacher would go to the roll call, but all the liberal arts students in the city had arrived, so where would he go to order? Most of the time he still asked Xiao Ya to help count and scare people. ”
Liu Xuan smiled sheepishly: "Having said that, are you really not going?"
Ye Ziyu was puzzled: "Of course, it may not be a loss not to go?"
Lu Yuhao and Liu Xuan laughed at the same time: "Don't forget it." I don't like to study so much. We can't learn from you, we have to go, and we have to go early in the morning. ”
Ye Ziyu looked at these two smiling guys and couldn't help but wonder: "When do you love to study? Didn't Liu Xuan say that his biggest wish now is to wait for the college entrance examination to sleep well and pay off the sleepy debts owed for 12 years at once?
Liu Xuan replied: "It's nothing, it's really nothing." If you don't work hard at this time, how long will you wait? Why don't you want to be good?"
There was another bad laugh, and Ye Ziyu saw that they really didn't want to say, so he didn't bother to ask.
It wasn't until the following Monday that he figured out what the hell the hell the two guys were up to.
It turned out that the liberal arts students in the city got together to listen to the class, and the two of them worked hard to talk to girls from other schools. yes, that's a rare opportunity. If you don't know anyone, you know.
Sure enough, after returning to school, Liu Xuan spat and boasted about how he hooked up with a girl, how he talked about the topic, and how he made an appointment to see him next week. Ye Ziyu suddenly realized that he had been making trouble for a long time, and he was playing this abacus. He couldn't help but be indignant: "I said, you suddenly love to study? But this is really a good thing, and I will go too." Well, you have to go early in the morning to get a good spot!"
The three of them laughed.
In Ye Ziyu's heart, he was unconsciously looking forward to the arrival of next Sunday.
