This matter quickly disappeared from the daily life of the Chen family, at least on the surface, whether it was the head of the judicial department, the secretary of the brigade, or the mediation committee, they did not have such a deep relationship with a farmer. www.biquge.info Although the curiosity and gossip of the villagers could not be avoided for a while, and the relationship with Chen Aiguo's family also fell to the freezing point, but in any case, the family's income has increased, and Li Qiuping's daily sober time has gradually increased, and she has recently been able to do some easy work, such as feeding chickens and cooking.

Chen Aiguo has been discussing with his brothers in the same village to work on the construction site of the county, his carpentry work is very good, the construction industry in the county has finally ushered in spring, the construction site is blooming everywhere, and the demand for skilled workers is increasing day by day. Since his wife got better, Chen Aiguo has been thinking about going to the construction site with his brothers to do some work, and the people in the village say that Chen Chuan is smart and a great person. Someone else said to Chen Aiguo sourly: "You just wait to enjoy the blessings of your family Chen Chuan!" ”

Bringing happiness to his parents has always been Chen Chuan's goal, but it is certainly not now. After entering the second year of high school, his studies continued to increase, but even though he had been assigned classes, Chen Chuan's grades did not improve much - on the one hand, his grades were already good, and on the other hand, as a compulsory subject, Chen Chuan's English dragged him down.

This bothered him a lot and gradually became a significant source of stress.

Compared with Chen Chuan, Song Jia's performance is stable and rising. His science is indeed inferior to Chen Chuan, but he has no obvious weaknesses. If you really want to say it, Song Jia's English doesn't know much about Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan has only started learning English in junior high school, but Song Jia has already started to read ABC in kindergarten, and he entered cram school early in elementary school, and Song Jia's parents hope that he can go abroad, so Song Jia's spoken English is quite good even in the whole grade.

"We can tutor each other." After returning from the evening self-study, Song Jia proposed to Chen Chuan while burning his feet, "Look, the most points you lose every time are English, and the most points I lose every time are mathematics, I think we complement each other very well." ”

Chen Chuan looked up and looked down at him lifelessly—he had already washed up early and climbed into bed. "It's good, it's good." Chen Chuan touched his nose, he really didn't love English: "But I think maybe the effect won't be as good as you think." ”

Song Jia pursed his lips disapplausively, "This hasn't started yet, what frustrating words do you say?" He has always been optimistic that he didn't have much effort to learn English, so he didn't think it was much of a problem to help Chen Chuan with tutoring. After drying his feet, he stood up on cotton slippers and patted Chen Chuan's bed rail, and said confidently: "Look, Song Jia cram school, boutique creation, never defective!" ”

The teenagers giggled and laughed, and the laughter ended with the ringing of the lights out and the loud warning of the dormitory teacher.

Chen Chuan's understanding of himself is still relatively accurate. The meaning of this sentence is that Song Jia's tutoring activities encountered great difficulties from the beginning.

The first is vocabulary. As a rural student, Chen Chuan could not say that he did not work hard, but his poor school life and even more poor family life kept his English at a stable level - between poor and very poor. In Chen Chuan's life, the place where English words appear most often is thin textbooks, which may not be a problem in township middle schools, but in high school city focus, Chen Chuan's thin vocabulary is completely insufficient, and it can even be said that his current vocabulary is not able to cope with any exam.

Grammar and speaking aren't even too much of a problem compared to vocabulary – the former is generally strengthened with vocabulary in the Chinese English test, while the latter – if you're not aiming for a foreign language major and don't plan to go abroad, a good English score on paper is enough.

"That's why I say the likelihood of success is low." Chen Chuan looked at Song Jia helplessly - on the desk between them was Chen Chuan's monthly exam English test paper, and the red cross and the pitiful hook were really contrasting.

Song Jia stared bitterly at the bright red number—it was even lower than he expected. "Seriously," he finally couldn't help but speak, "It's all the exercises that appear in the exercise book, how did you achieve such a high error rate and such a low accuracy rate?" ”

Chen Chuan scratched his head, he was a little afraid to face Song Jia's condemning gaze. "It's not much ......" Chen Chuan coughed lowly, and said a little uncomfortably: "I just did it according to the exercises......" He felt that he still had to explain two sentences for himself - the young man's self-esteem made Chen Chuan feel a little hurt: "Look at this, this and this, they are all correct, right?" ”

"Why don't you read this and this in the twenty questions?" Song Jia thought that he had used up all his patience all his life, and he poked and poked on the test paper bitterly: "Here, here, here, ah!" And here! I can find the original questions in the workbook, believe it or not! ”

Chen Chuan stopped talking.

"In this monthly exam, all your hard-earned points in science have made you lose English." Song Jia sighed, he didn't know what else to do, "I didn't do as well as you in the math and science exams, and I was a little better than you in Chinese, but I pulled back the total score in English." In the end, he concluded: "So I really can't do it." ”

Chen Chuan couldn't refute this sentence, and he could add one more sentence himself: After the division of liberal arts and sciences, the partial subjects are even more dead.

But apart from that, life in the second year of high school is undoubtedly joyful. Every time he comes home, he can find a smile on the faces of his father, who is not good at words, and his mother, who has been confused for a long time, even if their family is still poor, he has to worry about his English grades, Chen Chuan still feels happy.

So much so that Chen Chuan later recalled that it was three years of high school, and only this year was the only one in his memory.

In China, most people's school careers are actually lackluster. The heavy pressure of going to school is on everyone's head, and the better the grades, the higher the expectations. At that time, the so-called quality education formed a big discussion in society, but for students, unless the college entrance examination completely changed the model, the score still determined their life and death - one point of heaven and one point of hell.

Therefore, for the vast majority of people, in the monotonous and dull study career, the ambiguity with a rose-colored luster is the biggest spice in student life, and it is also the best memory to recall after stepping into the society in the future.

Before the class was divided, Song Jia was almost a brother and sister to the leading figures in the whole grade. Although he had to concentrate on studying because of the gradual heavy schoolwork after the class was divided, this is not to say that Song Jia's ability to recruit bees and butterflies has declined, on the contrary, because of some things, Song Jia's reputation has begun to go out of the grade and become popular throughout the school.

Zhao Mo leaned against the wall and waited for a while before Chen Chuan came out of the classroom. They haven't seen each other for a while, and after the class, everyone's study tasks are very heavy, and the liberal arts and science classes in the second year of high school are on different floors, so the intimate four-person small group in the first year of high school gradually decreases to communicate, but the relationship is still there, and occasionally encountered, even gossip can be frothing for half an hour - such as Song Jia and Fang Ping.

"How's it going? Oh, you want notes. Zhao Mo handed a thick notebook to Chen Chuan, "This is my English notes for the entire junior high school," and added, "The senior part is copied and stuffed at the end." ”

Chen Chuan hurriedly took it and said gratefully, "Thank you so much." He smiled a little embarrassedly: "After the class assignment, English is really lagging behind, and the last few exams have really baked me up." ”

There is a kinship in the heart - this feeling is also felt by Zhao Mo, and it is more profound than Chen Chuan. After the class was divided, mathematics became an unspeakable pain for him, and the comparison between the faces of the mathematics teacher and the Chinese teacher in every exam has become the biggest joke in their class, and it has gradually spread throughout the grade.

However, he didn't plan to complain to Chen Chuan here, but reminded Chen Chuan with a light face: "Your vocabulary is too small, recite it aloud every day, and your vocabulary can increase after a month." ”

Chen Chuan's face turned blue, he hesitated for a while, and finally said with a wry smile: "I memorized it last time, but I didn't remember anything." ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows to look at him.

Chen Chuan has become a habit of eating deflated under this great god. There is no need to urge, he explained honestly: "Because there is no correct pronunciation of a word, there is no way to memorize it." Now my method is to copy each one ten or eight times, and it still works. ”

"Song Jia, that guy told you to memorize words, right?" Zhao Mo complained: "Did you mark the sound?" I don't know the phonetic transcription, what's the use of memorizing words? ”

The point is that you can't remember it even if you memorize it. But Chen Chuan didn't say this.

Zhao Mo raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that he had to go back before the time was too early. Before leaving, he gave Chen Chuan another instruction: "Go buy the most basic reference books," and he gave a suggestion: "The kind used in the third grade of primary school, it is good to teach phonetic transcription." ”

Primary 3 ...... Chen Chuan was silent for a while, and finally defeated his poor self-esteem with reality, and dragged back to his seat in the class bell with heavy steps.

Then he saw a smirkling Song Jia and a circle of classmates with strange faces giggling.

The teacher came quickly, and before he had time to ask Chen Chuan, he was taken into the "Ocean of Learning" and "Rolling Paper", and when he came back to his senses from the pile of practice papers and remembered this incident, it was already time for them to go back to the dormitory after evening self-study. After thinking about it, Chen Chuan asked hesitantly: "Song Jia, what are you messing with them in the afternoon?" ”

"Trouble?" Song Jia hung the coat he had taken off on the hook on the high and low bed, and looked back at his roommate with a confused expression: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Just in the afternoon, Zhao Mo came to give me a notebook, but when I entered the classroom, I found that you and Li Dong had particularly strange expressions...... Chen Chuan thought about it and decided to modify his words: "No, it's not weird, it's talking very stupidly." ”

The expression on Song Jia's face froze for a second, and then jumped up in annoyance: "Then how can you be stupid!" ”

"You were laughing silly!" Chen Chuan flexibly dodged Song Jia, let him pounce directly on his bed, and then quickly climbed onto his bed, and then he had time to continue: "Don't admit it, ask yourself, a few people don't say stupid when they see it." ”

Song Jia hehehe ”

Song Jia, who was sleeping in the lower bunk, coughed twice - Chen Chuan was actually embarrassed to hear it: "That, I received a letter from someone else today." ”

"Chen Chuan, some girls say she likes me."
