Hakutsuru Elementary School is not big, but it is very lively.

The dry loess playground on the campus was crowded with leather children playing glass balls as soon as class ended.

At those cement tables, there will always be more than twice as many people queuing up to play table tennis than people holding rackets, and at this time, they can afford to buy a pair of red double happiness rackets for less than ten yuan, which is definitely the star of the classroom.

In addition to reading idle books in class, and running circles on the playground "lonely" after class, Zhang Chen's worst thing is to scare a few little girls into crying.

In the teacher's opinion, Zhang Chen's quirk of running circles is definitely one of the few, and only Zhang Hailin does it in the entire Baihe Primary School except for Zhang Chen, and everyone knows that Zhang Hailin is Zhang Chen's follower, and the reason why he runs is not a quirk, but a kind of learning.

For students like Zhang Chen, whose grades are not up or down, and who occasionally score against the sky, teachers generally don't pay too much attention to him, but since the summer vacation, the changes that have occurred in Zhang Chen are enough to make Duan Chunyuan and Wang Yueqiu look at each other differently.

The final exams are completed almost every year, and this year is no exception, the rain outside the window is more urgent than the splash of water, and it stands to reason that the rain in the cold winter wax moon should be lingering.

The flower bed of the campus is empty of just such a cold plum, I heard that this plum blossom has grown for more than ten years, the branches are vigorous, the flower bones of the rain fall on the yellow mud around, a thick layer, but it looks a lot better.

There are two rows of classrooms before and after the entrance of Baihe Primary School, each row of five rooms, standing opposite to each other, the left and right sides of the campus are cement platforms for playing table tennis, a flower bed with a diameter of about five meters in the middle, and the campus is surrounded by holly or camphor trees, which are verdant in all seasons.

In front of the campus is the only yellow sand dirt road leading from the township to the various brigades below, behind which is a continuous mountain forest, there is nothing else in this mountain, pine trees are forests, cedar trees are as many as cow hair, and the footprints of pheasants and hares can be seen all over the mountains, but it is more difficult to catch a few.

Zhang Chen glanced around a few times, and saw that the elementary school classmates in the neighborhood were all working the time, and the pen in his hand was reluctant to write, not that he couldn't, but that the fifth-grade math problems really couldn't arouse his interest.

If it was the previous mentality, it was hard to do it again, and it was not a full score and proud of the whole school, but I really stayed in school for more than half a year, and the excitement at the beginning had already been exhausted.

Seeing that the teacher Wang Yueqiu, who taught mathematics, had already walked over to his side with his back to his hands, he started to write, although Zhang Chen's body did not look very strong, but the size was definitely one of the best in the class, the eleven-year-old child was already more than one meter five, but the development period did not grow much, so the previous life also grew to the early 170s, and it is precisely because of this that the head teacher strongly asked him to sit in the last row against the wall.

The final exam of the first semester of the fifth grade ended with the sound of rain and the gaze of the invigilator, and the winter vacation of elementary school always seemed extremely enjoyable.

The only regret is that Zhang Chen had to keep vigil alone in the shed while waiting for the New Year, the old lady was about to give birth, Lao Zhang went to the Taoyuan team in the next village overnight, and only said hello to Zhang Chen in a daze and left with a change of clothes for a few days.

At the end of the year, there were only a few customers who booked to pull fish, so if it was just a vigil, Zhang Chen would not be a problem at all, plus Zhang Wenming and his wife lived in a shed on the edge of the pond, and the black dog raised at home also played a big role.

This situation seems to be a little different from Zhang Chen's memory, originally the old Zhang family's sister was born in the shed house on the edge of the fish pond, but because the Zhang family's fish were sold, the fish pond was also on fire, and there were many people coming and going in the shed, and the old lady had to go to the Taoyuan team to give birth.

There must always be someone to watch the fish pond, Zhang Wenlin originally insisted on staying here and letting Zhang Chen go to Taoyuan to accompany his wife, but the kid was very stubborn to stay in the shed of the fish pond, saying that the old man was not at ease when he was here to take care of the house.

This can make Zhang Wenlin's originally softened heart settled, and after thinking twice, he packed up his things and left before dawn.

The distance between Taoyuan and Zhang Wan is not far, Zhang Chen didn't know how many times he had run back and forth in his previous life, and he would arrive in an hour and a half if he walked faster, and if he walked around, he would probably have to go up in an hour and a half.

didn't cook in the morning, but sat in the shed of Zhang Wenming's house and waited for the meal, Hailin didn't get up yet, and he was slapped twice on the ass by his old man with the quilt.

I'm going to go to school today to get a report card, and the hopes of children in the countryside for most of the year are all on it, not to mention anything else, if they do well in the exam, they will not only be praised by others, but they can also get some small tickets for one or two yuan, not to mention that if you can get a new certificate of merit that still smells of ink, and come back and paste it into the blank space under the middle hall of the house, then you can simply show off the whole semester.

But the price of not doing well in the exam is greater, the winter vacation life that is not good in the exam is not called life, there is no small ticket, there is no new award, three days and two scolding, not a few slaps that are light, homework is written to death all day long, after writing the parents let you copy the words, that is, there is no culture to understand, but the copied words are always indispensable.

Once Zhang Chen's mother made a joke, Liu Aiping never went to school, only recognized ten Arabic numerals and his own name, Zhang Chen didn't do well in the exam for a year, Zhang Wenlin didn't come back from working outside, she was stunned and asked Zhang Chen to copy the calendar for three days.

In her spiritual realm, it is always good for children to copy more braille and not go out to play, and the result is that Zhang Chen has studied the calendar of the past year fiercely.

"Go to bed earlier than anyone else, get up later than anyone else, what are you studying, if you don't take the exam well today, Lao Tzu won't beat you to death."

"Zhang Wenming, you are enough, look at your virtue, you have the ability to take the test! You too, knowing that you are still lying in bed today with your report card and not getting up, Zhang Chen got up and ran back and forth from the team, not to mention him, if you don't pass the test, I will beat you with a broom. ”

Looking at Zhang Wenming and Shi Xiuhong's posture of fighting one by one, Zhang Chen could only pray silently for Zhang Hailin in his heart, parents all over the world are like this, I have never seen a family that is not like this, like these two people are still applauded, and it is even worse to meet the kind of couple who are angry in a punching bag.

After a few bites of food, Zhang Chen pulled Zhang Hailin to run into the school, and walked four or five miles to say more and say less, and when the two hurried to the classroom, the front foot just came in and sat down, and Duan Chunyuan, the head teacher of the back foot, walked in with a stack of transcripts and a few thin awards.

No one paid attention to the class cadres who carried a few bundles of winter vacation homework into the classroom, and almost all eyes fell on the only few awards, which was really strange, just a few pieces of paper.

But there is nothing else that is so attractive, even students who usually don't work hard want to have such a picture of themselves one day, even Zhang Chen looked at it and felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

His tablemate is not Zhang Hailin, Zhang Hailin's height is not as tall as Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen doesn't know what happened later, in his previous life, he turned into a wisp of smoke before he even got to this final exam.

This kid's academic performance is very good, almost every time there is a piece of flower paper that belongs to him, people in the countryside and villages call the certificate of merit paper, take the report card home and don't ask anything else, just ask if you get the flower paper, if you don't get it, the grades must be bad, in the hearts of those individuals in the village, only the students who get the flower paper are good students.

The same table is called Tang Qing, his grades are generally low, to put it bluntly, he is the bottom of his grades, his personality is extremely introverted, he never speaks, Zhang Chen has never seen him answer the head teacher's questions, and the strange thing is that the head teacher never says anything.

It wasn't until he graduated from junior high school that he found out that Tang Qing's bad grades were not because he didn't study, but because his parents were paralyzed by accidents, and he had to do and endure much more than his peers.

In this way, it makes sense why Duan Chunyuan and Wang Yueqiu never talked about Tang Ye's bad grades, thinking that they knew about the situation in his family.

"Tang Qing!"

During his contemplation, the head teacher Duan Chunyuan had already pronounced the first name, and it was not surprising that Tang Ye still won the penultimate place, unlike in the past, Zhang Chen did not secretly laugh like the rest of the classmates, but looked at the back of the person who walked to the podium, and there was a little more admiration.

Tang Qing is two years older than his classmates, but there are a few thirteen-year-old children who can start from the age of ten and can still be strong enough to get to the present despite such tremendous pressure.

For the first time, Zhang Chen reacquainted himself with this tablemate.

"Tell me if you need help in the future!"

seemed to be accustomed to seeing people's indifference, after hearing Zhang Chen's words, Tang Qing was not surprised or had any other reaction, but just quietly glanced at this classmate who was silent on weekdays, and then put the report card and winter vacation homework into the cloth bag that was mended.

"Shi Xiaowei!" "Peng Yangfei!"

"Peng Bingbing!"

“――”

Every time he heard a name, Zhang Chen's mind would come up with the things about them in his memory, and the next two names he read made him the most profound.

"Li Lingping!"

"Xu Lian"

Li Lingping is a girl with slightly dark skin and a weak appearance, while Xu Lian is just the opposite, a boy with very white skin and huge eyes.

These two people are in the same class as Zhang Chen from elementary school to junior high school to high school, one was slim and slim later, and the eighteen changes in the female college are not enough to explain the great changes, and the other later led Baichong County No. 1 Middle School, and took the science championship of the year, and after graduation, I heard that I went abroad, and later the two made a special appointment in the United States.

If it was in the past, these two would definitely occupy the top two, but this time, Zhang Chen was killed as a black wild horse that could not be blacker.

"Zhang Chen, first place, 100 points in mathematics, 98 in Chinese, has made great progress and is worthy of praise."

Duan Chunyuan, the head teacher who cherishes words like gold, deliberately reported Zhang Chen's score, as the first place, Zhang Chen is the only one in the class who has a full score in mathematics, and his language is also the highest, so naturally there is no problem of plagiarism.

Although it was unbelievable, he still recognized the authenticity of the results, and it was precisely because of Zhang Chen's sudden rise that Zhang Hailin also fell straight from third to fourth, only a thin line away from the flower paper.

Looking at his sad face, Zhang Chen knew that this kid must be indispensable to go back and smoke.
