Chapter 33: The Passing Years (Part II)
The school is very close to home, only a dozen minutes walk.
So from morning to evening, Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan have to go home three times a day.
As soon as he entered the house, what was waiting for Shen Zhe was inevitably a hot meal, and there were many times when he pushed the door open, his mother just took off his apron.
and Lin Yuhan went upstairs one after the other, footsteps sounded, and the doors on both sides opened at the same time.
It is a waste of time to let children knock on the door, which shows how accurate the mothers of Chinese high school students are.
Shen Zhe also had a rebellious heart.
He used to be a critic of this kind of test-oriented education, and what kind of cramming is criticism. But then I got older and older, and in the end, I didn't understand what su zhì education was and how to do su zhì education.
The slogan is shouted back and forth, but what is added is a stricter test-oriented education, so you can only go with the flow.
The most famous rebellious student is Han Han, Shen Zhe has admired him for a while, and some of his views can scratch the itch.
For example, student essays should be abolished, which is the beginning of people learning to lie. Because the textbook says that words are used to praise and praise, while exposing and lashing are dark and not sunny. However, most of the words of praise are nonsense, and most of the words that are exposed are truthful.
By the end, the student essay was full of nonsense.
You praise a part of your body, and although it is true, it will definitely get zero points.
……
Seeing his mother doing things nervously, Shen Zhe stopped talking every time.
I can't say, Mom, don't be so nervous, it's just the third year of high school, even if it's the college entrance examination, aren't my grades there?
Now the parents are walking on tiptoe at home, is the college entrance examination so terrible?
Shen Zhe forgot that he had a chip to help, so he didn't have to be nervous, and others didn't have that thing to help cheat.
The TV in the living room was not turned on for a long time, but it was later that Shen Zhe moved the TV into his parents' bedroom at the request of Shen Zhe, so that he felt more comfortable. You can't let your parents look at the ceiling because you're afraid of affecting his rest.
Since I finished the second manuscript, I haven't been embarrassed to open the study computer.
Shen Zhe doesn't have a mobile phone for the time being, which means that he and editor Su Wei have been out of contact recently.
"Xiao Zhe, Mom still doesn't want you to take that exam. "At dinner that day, my mother suddenly said something.
Shen Zhe held the bowl and said in surprise: "Mom, have you been thinking about this for the past two days?"
Yang Xin snorted: "I always feel that it is not the right way, when others ask you how many points you have in the test, how can your mother tell people?"
"Are all students with special talents partial to subjects and can't be admitted to university seriously?"
Shen Zhe smiled: "That's not necessarily, this method is still good...... You think, everyone will definitely choose a subject they are best at in the future, so universities are divided into majors, and it is better to be proficient in one subject than mediocre in each subject. ”
"Wouldn't it be better to be proficient?"
Shen Zhe was actually quite tempted about the specialty exam, but when he heard his mother say this, he didn't expect it to cause her so much trouble, so he said with a high voice: "Don't think about it, I will refuse Teacher Fan when I get to school, and you don't have any opinions about him, it is estimated that he also has a responsible attitude, after all, if he is admitted early, how much trouble will be saved." ”
Yang Xin said happily: "That's good, your grades are there, what are you afraid of, being admitted in advance, what if it's not Yan University?"
Shen Zhe almost choked before he realized that his mother's mind was still on the Yanda complex.
Yes, I will go to the study in a while, and memorize the ancient prose that was not available in the original time and space of the Chinese textbook to satisfy her wish.
……
Chinese readers who are desperate for stories have recently had new works to read.
A pamphlet priced at 18 Chinese coins suddenly circulated wildly on college campuses and in the workplace.
In those years, we chased the girl together.
I didn't see it in Shen Zhe's class, they were all top students, but in other classes of Ziwei High School, there were also many students who were secretly reading. The classmate who dozed off in class in the book, and the girl behind you secretly poked your shirt, the story seems to happen around you.
I don't know how many parents and teachers confiscated from their children, and then were moved by a certain part of it, especially the last few paragraphs.
[A tide called youth has drowned us.
When the waves receded, we sat on the beach together soaking wet, watching our favorite girls wave their hands vigorously and step happily to the other end of life. The next wave will take away the beautiful footprints left by the girl on the beach.
But we're still there.
The appearance of the girl engraved in our hearts will still be there.
The pride is undiminished, and the laughter is back then. 】
Youth is gone, joy is gone, sorrow is eternal.
When the couples are together, the man will inevitably be asked: Who is your Shen Jiayi?
The man was speechless, why wasn't he braver in the first place?
Ke Jingteng was reluctant to kiss the bride in the end, just to keep that little bit special and cherish it carefully.
A story with rich meaning and soft wings awakens the youthful memories of Chinese young people, as well as the indelible sadness.
……
Zhongli was also sad.
The magazine was besieged again, and there were more people than the last time, demanding the publication of real information about the author.
He was also very helpless, the timing was very unfortunate, the author Shen Zhe could no longer be contacted, guessing that he was preparing for the college entrance examination, and he couldn't come to block people.
I want to make another appointment, but there is no hope for most of the year.
The situation of the magazine is getting better and better, and the publishing house has even taken advantage of this opportunity to make a name for itself. What made him laugh and cry the most was that perhaps under the influence of Shen Zhe's two books, the authors of the magazine wrote in the first person, which simply became a breaking news conference.
It really boosted sales, and the four issues in September were all stable at 3.5 million copies, which is a very frightening increase.
However, when Shen Zhe's two serializations are completed, it will be good to be able to stabilize more than 3 million copies.
It is very difficult to cultivate an author, Shen Zhe is a pie in the sky, and not many people can write that kind of feeling. The most popular is the column "My Youth is Crying" under the pen name "Flower Season of the Year", a collection of short stories in the mood, or a work to follow the trend.
A few days ago, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles finally came.
The National Publishing House of the United States contacted the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles to ask for the introduction of the book "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", and it was this day that Zhongli was waiting for.
From the first time he saw the manuscript, he was keenly aware that the potential of the book should be Western.
In the contract negotiated with Shen Zhe at the beginning, 8% of the royalty is the global publishing right, otherwise the royalty is so high for a newcomer, and the company will not be able to explain. The boy didn't know if he didn't know, or didn't care, and didn't dwell too much on that.
Wenlian Tong Guò Magazine contacted the author Peach Blossom Island Owner, and by the way, the star rating was conducted.
He didn't get any information from Zhong Li about Shen Zhe, and after knowing that the magazine had obtained the right to publish abroad as an agent, he handed it over to the two parties for negotiation.
Zhongli is ready to take a look, this is a good thing to win glory for the Chinese cultural circle, and it is very beneficial to enhance the image of the magazine.
……
Under the supervision of his mother, when Shen Zhe became a college entrance examination student, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles had a new initiative.
Huaxia Literature Network has opened a special section to open an official personal homepage for authors with star ratings, and readers have a place to communicate.
In the past, the various spontaneous forums BBS were too scattered, and some readers were concentrated so that even the author himself did not know about it.
Now, all of them are rushing to their respective idols.
Shen Zhe doesn't know yet, even if he knows, it's not unusual, at most it has the function of a fan home.
Huaxia Youth Magazine couldn't contact him, so it used his pen name to apply for a temporary homepage, and the number of followers reached 200,000 on the same day. However, it is not much, one of the Chinese seven-star authors has as many as nine million followers in three days.
The official of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles also opened a homepage of Cao Xueqin like a prank, and it was immediately topped first, with nearly 30 million fans.
This is still a China where computers have not yet become popular, and they are just fans of literary authors.
Most of Shen Zhe's readers were found from "Those Years", which is more suitable for Chinese literary and artistic youth.
Fans talk about their feelings after reading and share youth stories below.
However, the owner of Peach Blossom Island himself has not appeared, and in less than a month, he has almost become a zombie fan.
……
Like a year of flowing water, half a year has passed in a hurry.
In May 2001, it was another summer day, and the air conditioner was buzzing outside the window.
Shen Zhe sat comfortably on a chair in the study, nibbling on a piece of chilled watermelon, which had just been taken out of the refrigerator.
Yang Xin looked remorseful on the side: "Xiaozhe, is Mom wrong, if only you could be admitted early!"
Shen Zhe laughed and comforted: "Mom, you, it's too late to regret it now...... But don't worry at all, my son is well prepared, and he will almost get back the champion!"
Seeing that Shen Zhe's fighting spirit was good, Yang Xin put down his mind slightly.
