Chongxiang Primary and Secondary School is located on a small hill, behind which is a fairly high nameless peak, and the township government built a TV signal transmission tower on the mountain a few years ago. Since then, the nameless mountain has been called the TV Tower.

A small serpentine mountain range extends to the left of the TV tower, surrounding the school on three sides, and between the mountain bag and the small mountain range is a field of farmland, and on the right side of the school there is a small river that does not flow rapidly. The old generation said that the feng shui here is good, it belongs to the turtle and snake Xianrui, and the school is built here, and there will be big people in the future.

However, nearly 40 years after the establishment of the school, among the students who graduated from here, there has not even been a cadre at the department level, and the best one to study is only to be admitted to a provincial normal university. However, the township nursing home built on the tail of the serpentine mountain has produced two lonely and widowed old people who have lived a long life.

At half past nine in the morning, Li Jiaming followed the bus that Mr. Wang was on and finally arrived in the township.

Teacher Wang paid four yuan, asked for two tickets, and got off the bus with Li Jiaming, who was carrying an old yellow and green schoolbag, and looked at the stone road around the mountain as if he was nostalgic, and then rewarded Li Jiaming with a slap on the back of the head, and said with a tiger face: "Li Jiaming, if you can't get the first place this time, you will complete the hygiene of the whole class next month!" ”

"Huh? Oh".

Li Jiaming, who had already missed twice in the third and fourth grades, and had been severely punished twice, agreed, and hurriedly followed the teacher with two short legs and a schoolbag.

After walking more than 100 meters of stone road, bypassing the nursing home built on the snake tail of the serpentine mountain, a low hill suddenly appeared in front of me, and there were three or four red brick houses, two or three yellow mud houses, and two brick houses under construction in the bleak and cold wind, which were Chongxiang primary and secondary schools. (The educational conditions in the mountains are backward, the source of students and teachers are insufficient, and there are often junior high schools and primary schools running together, so they are called XX township primary and secondary schools)

Along the gravel road in the middle of the rice field, Li Jiaming followed behind Mr. Wang, and was surprised to find that the hand that the teacher liked to carry on his back had become hanging on the sides of his thighs; As soon as he entered the school gate, Mr. Wang also had a smile on his face, not as straight as in school.

In the school, in addition to the sound of reading and the teacher's lecture, and Teacher Wang's constant greetings.

"Teacher Jiang is good, Teacher Zhang is good, Teacher Gao is good ......"

Li Jiaming was also like Teacher Wang, bowing slightly to greet the teachers who passed by or not far away, and looked like a polite primary school student. Even in front of the 'former' homeroom teacher, Mr. Jiang, his eyes were only slightly red, and his face did not show the slightest abnormality.

Teacher Jiang, who had gray hair and a straight waist, looked at Li Jiaming carefully and asked with a smile, "Li Jiaming?" ”

"Hey, hey, Teacher Jiang taught me the fourth brother?"

"Well, yes, smart, bold, and polite."

Teacher Jiang touched Li Jiaming's head melon seeds, looked at his stuffed schoolbag in the shape of a canned bottle, turned his head and instructed Teacher Wang: "There is a reception at school at noon, so I won't ask you to eat." This guy is a good seedling, teach it well! ”

"Yes", Teacher Wang hurriedly bowed down, and Li Jiaming also had to learn decently, which made Teacher Jiang laugh, patted his little head melon seeds, and took the handouts away.

Teacher Wang watched the teacher walk away, and hurriedly pulled Li Jiaming, who was still watching, to another three-story red brick house with a bunch of small radish heads and the teacher standing downstairs, and whispered again as before: "After you finish it, check it once and hand in the papers, the sooner the better, the best is the first to hand in!" Of course, if there is something you can't do, you must keep thinking about it until the end. ”

The traffic conditions in the mountains are extremely poor, and the most remote village, Guantian Village, is 23 miles away from the hometown, and there is no road. After lunch, the teacher who led the team had to take the students back by bicycle, and then walked more than ten miles of mountain roads.

"Understood!"

Li Jiaming hurriedly whispered that there were only three places to participate in the competition in the county, and if there was a tie, whoever handed in the paper early would be cheap.

When the time was almost up, Mr. Wang took off Li Jiaming's schoolbag and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll help you deliver food, you just take the exam." I'm going to get a first one, understand? ”

"Understood", this time Li Jiaming didn't smirk, took the three pencils he had sharpened, and ran to the little radish heads who had already lined up to enter the examination room.

After a while, students from all classrooms flocked out, many of whom pointed at the little radish heads who had lined up, and from time to time some people shouted 'come on' to the people in the village.

"Jiaming! Come on! ”

Li Jiaming, who was in the middle of the team, heard a familiar voice, and hurriedly turned his head to the left to look, but no one knew him; Turning his head to look at the right again, the second sister and the third sister were pointing at him excitedly, and a group of little girls were loudly displayed, as if they had forgotten that they had not even entered the top three here last year and the year before last.

"See, that's my youngest brother! He became smarter after a fall, and our family said that Jiaming can also be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future! ”

'Huh', Li Jiaming in the team has become the focus, Li Jiade is a mythical person in Chongxiang Primary and Secondary School! Known as the genius that the county has not met in ten years! I heard that even the teachers of the county's key high schools agree with the statements of the teachers in their own schools!

Li Jiaming's face also turned red, and he wailed in his heart, my sister, you are putting your brother to death!

What's even worse is that the fourth brother of the monster and the third brother of the junior high school who can't beat the first place - the third brother also appeared. This monster, who is known as the first day genius in the county, shook his fist at Li Jiaming to show encouragement, and then the third brother also waved his fist at him, which made Li Jiaming, who was red-faced, regret not pretending to be sick and not coming!

It's over, it's over, if you can't get into the university you expect in the future, you will definitely become a big joke in Yinzitan!

After Teacher Wang in the crowd gave the four bottles of vegetables to the second sister and the third brother, seeing that his proud disciple was not in the right situation, he hurriedly trotted over and whispered, "Jiaming, don't be nervous!" Relax, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Trust the teacher's vision, you are the best of these classmates! Think about it, when you're at home, is there a question you can't answer? ”

My teacher, why am I nervous? Your student, I'm worried about the future! The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, not to mention my little thatch!

Teacher Wang is just anxious, but the fourth brother is a real monster, not to mention that Li Jiaming told him before that he didn't want the third uncle to be full of hope, and finally disappointed. Now seeing Li Jiaming's red face and head down, the fourth brother guessed what his 'smart' younger brother was thinking, and also came over and whispered in his ear: "Jiaming, don't forget Sister Wen and Sister Man!" Only by becoming their pride can you make the Manmei and Wenmei study hard! ”

The fourth brother's words pinched Li Jiaming's life, and he was thinking about looking at the situation and striving to be the first in the exam and not so conspicuous, so as to save himself from becoming the second 'Fang Zhongyong' in the future. Anyway, a twelve-year-old man, no matter how much everyone makes fun of him, he is just making fun of him, and he is not qualified to be a joke that can be passed on, not to mention that he couldn't even enter the top three before. But when I thought of the full sister and little sister in the family, as well as the father who went to Guangdong to work, Li Jiaming wailed in his heart, this is to force himself to a dead end!

"You are the best, the first place is yours! I believe in the fourth brother, not to mention the small Chongxiang, it is the entire Tonggu County, you are also the best! ”

The fourth brother's mouth left Li Jiaming's ears, said a few words loudly, patted his little cousin's shoulder heavily, turned around and left with a smile. My cousin has indeed suddenly become very smart, but there are always some unusual ideas in my head. If he hadn't been forced to go to Liangshan, the devil knew how many times he would take the exam?

The fourth brother really thinks so, but Li Jiaming is wailing, what is this forcing people to go to Liangshan, is this obviously forcing people to go to the altar? Fourth brother, you are my own brother, how can you do such a thing?
