Chapter 10 Examinations
"Xiao Ye, eat here with your dad after the exam. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Old Uncle Zhang patted Liu Ye's head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've grown into a big girl." Then he turned to his father and said, "Old Liu, you wait here, I'll come over in a while." ”
Old Uncle Zhang walked in front, Liu Ye followed timidly, and she saw that Old Uncle Zhang's dress had changed a lot. The coarse cloth trousers, which used to be patched and wrinkled, are now new and indeed good white shirts and crisp blue cartes; It used to be cloth sneakers that were so old that you could barely distinguish the original colors, but now they are shiny cowhide shoes on your feet.
The key is that his waist, which seemed to be unstraight before, is now straight. He greeted the passing people with a smile, and they respectfully called him "Hello Principal Zhang!" ”
Liu Ye remembered the scene of Old Uncle Zhang bowing down and pulling the donkey cart, at that time he always had a bitter gourd face, bowed his head and was silent, only at his grandmother's house could he show a rare smile. At that time, Uncle Zhang was so humble that no one would notice him when he hid in the crowd. He is like a lonely withered grass swaying in the wind, invaded by wind, dust, frost and snow, and may break at any moment. Uncle Zhang's faded canvas satchel and pants with large patches on the back of his butt and in front of his knees are deeply embedded in Liu Ye's memory. And, of course, the stories he tells. For example, "Monkey King Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Mu Guiying in Command", "Liu Beisan Invites Zhuge Liang", "Nezha in the Sea", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "Ants and Cicadas", "Turtles and Eagles" in Aesop's Fables, etc., these stories are like shining golden keys that open up a colorful literary world. Liu Ye felt that Uncle Zhang was so kind and natural at that time, and she felt unrestrained with him. And now it seems that time has lengthened the distance between them, in this strange city that she doesn't like, her boredom has been like dust flying in the sky on a windy day, floating to all corners, including Uncle Zhang.
She raised her eyes to peek at Old Uncle Zhang's expression, she felt that Old Uncle Zhang wearing glasses gave people a feeling of arrogance and indifference, especially his position as vice principal, which made Liu Ye feel strange and afraid. Students are naturally repulsive to teachers, not to mention that Uncle Zhang is still the vice principal of the middle school she is about to attend. At this time, a high wall was built in her heart, and there was a sudden estrangement between her and Uncle Zhang.
Liu Ye walked into the classroom and saw that there were more than thirty students of her age, already waiting in their seats, and they all seemed to be a little nervous, just half-sitting and half-lying on their seats. Liu Ye's heart also began to beat wildly, but she calmed down when she thought that she was in the top three of her class in every exam at her hometown school. She quickly wrote on the exam paper that only in her studies could she forget that she had come to this strange city from her lovely hometown, and the sorrow in her heart could only be completely forgotten at this time.
She found that the exam questions here were not much different from the exam questions in her hometown, just like the math test paper she was doing now, which was also composed of five parts: choice, filling in the blanks, judging right and wrong, drawing, and calculation, so the panic in her heart disappeared, replaced by composure and composure. About 20 minutes before the end of the exam, she was able to hand in her paper.
Walking out of the examination room, she breathed a deep sigh of relief. It's the beginning of September, and although autumn has begun, the weather is still very hot. She stood under a leafy old locust tree on campus, sheltered from the sun. She blankly surveyed her surroundings. A small three-story building to the west may be where the teachers work, and two rows of bungalows to the north are the two classes of the third grade. The two-story school building on the east side may be the classrooms of the first and second grades of junior high school. There is a large playground in the middle, and there are two basketball hoops facing each other from north to south. On the south side of the playground against the fence are two pairs of parallel bars of different heights, and there is a rectangular sand pit where the long jump can be practiced. At the corner between the two rows of bungalows and the three-story building, judging by the appearance, it should be a toilet. When she saw the toilet, she suddenly felt a little anxious, so she hurried there. The toilet was big and clean, she felt that she had never seen such a clean toilet, and even thought that she must hold it here to solve it when she wanted to defecate in the future.
After getting out of the toilet, she wandered around boredly, and then she turned to the north near the classroom, where she saw a row of newspaper columns. I just want to stop and read the article. She cautiously looked around, afraid that there would be students in class and see herself. Because she is from the countryside, her inner discomfort and inferiority complex at this time, like the weeds growing on the side of the playground, make her afraid of contact with people and being trampled on. Especially when I get in touch with people who are about to become classmates here. Suddenly, she remembered that it was a few days before the start of the summer vacation, and it hadn't officially started yet. She saw that the classroom was empty, and the door was locked by the "Iron General".
She stopped in front of the newspaper column and began to look for a good article. Suddenly, she saw a familiar smile, it was Lang Ping smiling, waving his hands as if shouting something. The newspaper devoted almost one page to the news report of the Chinese women's volleyball team winning the world championship, accompanied by color illustrations of the players collectively receiving the award. There are also individual moments of each team member. Sun Jinfang (captain), Zhang Rongfang, Lang Ping, Chen Yaqiong, Zhou Xiaolan, Yang Xilan, Liang Yan, Jiang Ying, Zheng Meizhu, Cao Huiying, Yang Xi, Chen Zhaodi and other names shook her heart like thunder, and she knew that they were already heroes in the hearts of the Chinese people. She admired, envied, and adored them in her heart. How she wishes that she could grow up to be like them, standing on the podium high and showing the world its glory...... Just as she was indulging in her fantasy, a voice woke her up, "Xiao Ye, have you taken the test?" Go, come with me to the house, your dad is waiting for you. Old Uncle Zhang grabbed a few books under his armpits and called her behind her.
She was stunned for a moment, muttered, and walked behind Uncle Zhang.
"Xiao Ye, how did you do in the exam?" When Dad saw her come in, he hurriedly got up from the wicker chair and asked with concern.
"It's okay." She replied with a blank face, looking at her father she always had a strange feeling. She sometimes thinks on a whim, how can this tall, well-thought-out, handsome man in front of her be her father? Although her grandfather is not tall, ordinary in appearance, and has many wrinkles on his face, she thinks that her grandfather is amiable, and her grandfather is her father.
