Chapter 13 Admission to the Fifth Middle School
In the blink of an eye, Ansu and Jingming graduated from primary school. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For students, it is stressful and stressful before every entrance exam, but the summer vacation after the exam is the most relaxing, because there is no summer homework. Although it is common for students to not do their homework, not doing homework and not doing homework are completely different concepts. After all, if you don't do your homework, you will be criticized.
Since elementary school, Anso's winter and summer vacations have basically been spent at Myoboji Temple, where she almost goes up in the morning and descends in the afternoon. In the countryside, there are often tragedies of children drowning while adults are not paying attention during the winter and summer vacations, so Ansu's presence in the temple reassures the grandparents. Grandma always got up in the morning to pluck a few green vegetables from the vegetable garden, then put two bowls of rice together and put them in a bamboo basket, let Ansu take them, and give them to the master in the room.
An Su's entry into the temple is like entering her own home, everyone in the temple knows her, even the laymen know her as a disciple of Master Zhishan, and everyone is very kind to her, especially Jingtang. He always quietly came to the lotus society or the mountain gate, and he seemed to take out two steamed buns or fruits and stuff them for Ansu and Jingming. Ansu has been very happy every winter and summer vacation, naively thinking that she will be so happy for the rest of her life.
Over the past few years, Ansu's painting level has greatly improved.
After the high school entrance examination, Ansu went up the mountain every day as usual. She should have been carefree, but when the summer vacation officially began, she was in a state of mind. No. 5 Middle School is the most famous middle school in the city and the only provincial first-class school in the city. With Jingming's usual results, it is absolutely no problem to be admitted to the fifth middle school, although Ansu has good grades, but he is not so optimistic to enter the fifth middle school. She worries that she won't be able to go to the same secondary school as Jingming.
The day before the release of the list, Ansu began to fidget, holding a paintbrush but unable to sit down quietly. Compared to Jing Ming's calm and leisurely concentration on practicing calligraphy, she is like a monkey jumping up and down.
"Little monk, what if I don't get into the fifth middle school?"
Jingming raised his head and smiled, ignored her, and continued to bow his head and practice calligraphy.
"Don't write it yet, you listen to me."
Jingming reluctantly put down his pen, looked at An Su, and listened to her with a serious face.
"What if I don't get into the fifth middle school?"
Jingming smiled and gestured: "If you don't get in, you don't get in, and you don't have to go to the fifth middle school." ”
An Su was anxious: "How can I do if I don't get in?" If you got in, but I didn't, then we can't go to school together. ”
Jingming was stunned, he had never thought about this problem, but he also didn't think that he would not be in the fifth middle school.
Ansu continued, "If we weren't in the same school, we would not see each other for a long time. No. 5 Middle School is in the city, so far away from here, you must have to board. ”
The word "boarding" made Jingming's first thought of his own tuition after entering junior high school. He knew very well that although the incense in the temple was prosperous, all his possessions came from the charity of good men and women, and he could not afford to go to school. He was able to go to school because Master asked the civil affairs department to waive his tuition and miscellaneous fees. But it is unclear whether he will be able to continue to waive his tuition and fees in junior high school, especially in a key middle school like No. 5 Middle School, which makes students want to go in. Even if No. 5 Middle School can waive his tuition and fees, what about boarding fees? In his view, the question is not whether he can go to the fifth middle school, but whether he can continue to go to school.
The next day, the two got up early in the morning and went to the fifth middle school to watch the list together. After reversing the car, it was already crowded at the gate of No. 5 Middle School. Students and parents at the school gate are all looking forward to it. Seeing that the wall was empty, knowing that the admission list had not been announced, Jingming pulled An Su to sit down by the flower bed on the side. Ansu sat down, like clockwork, and kept walking back and forth in front of him. Jingming sat quietly on the side, with his usual breezy smile on his face. Sitting quietly next to a group of anxious crowds at this moment, it feels like a clear and refreshing spring flowing quietly from the jungle full of cheerful birds and insects. Such a calm little boy is easy to attract the attention of others, and people who pass by all look back at him, and when they see that it is a little bald head, they can't help but smile kindly.
It didn't take long for two teachers to come out with three red lists, and the crowd swarmed up.
An Su just wanted to turn towards the crowd, but was dragged by Jingming and signaled her not to worry. How could she not be in a hurry? Just as he was about to tell Jingming not to pull her, he heard someone in the crowd shouting: "First place, Shi Jingming." ”
As soon as An Su heard this, he was so excited that he shook off Jingming and drilled into the crowd. finally got to the front, and suddenly felt nervous in front of the three red lists. She was very self-aware and looked back from behind. Sure enough, after a few lines, she saw her name on the last list. When she saw her name, she was excited for a while, and suddenly remembered if there would be someone with the same name and surname. Thinking of this, she quickly took out the admission ticket and read it seriously.
It's her, accurate!
Ansu was so happy that she turned around and rushed out of the crowd. As soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, he ran to the side of the flower bed, and one of them accidentally bumped into someone, and his forehead hit the other party's nose hard, and the other party screamed in pain. Listening to the voice, the other party is a boy.
This hit was not light, An Su touched her forehead, raised her head to look at the boy she bumped into, and saw the other party covering her nose. Ansu kept apologizing, while looking uneasily at the other party's hand covering her nose, she was afraid to see red blood flowing from her fingers.
Jingming had been sitting quietly on the edge of the flower bed, watching An Su come out of the crowd and bump into someone, and quickly got up and came over.
The boy grinned for a while, but he still didn't let go of the hand covering his nose, and he looked at the person who bumped into him. It's okay not to look at it, but he was stunned for a few seconds when he saw it, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief. His heart was thrilled and surprised! But for some reason, the words that come out of my mouth are completely different from what I think in my head. "Ansu, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
An Su wanted to apologize, but when she heard the other party call out her name, she was stunned. It took a few seconds for her to react. It turned out that the person she bumped into was Xiang Hui. A year has passed, and she has forgotten that there is such a person as Xiang Hui. For people who are different from her own world, Ansu never takes it to heart. Besides, Xiang Hui didn't leave a good impression on her. See you again after a year, and the words are still unpleasant.
The moment Xiang Hui saw An Su, it can be described as ecstasy. Over the past year, he has often thought of her, and he has thought about looking for her, but he doesn't know where to look. also wanted to ask Liu Hui for her home address, but he was so proud that he didn't ask after all. Although he had met her once, the two did not speak. He had thought about what the first words he would say to her when the two of them reunited. But at this moment, his nose was hit so hard that he forgot to say nice things.
As soon as Xiang Hui wanted to say something, he heard Peng Dongjun, a classmate and friend who came with him, excitedly running over to him and saying, "Ah Hui, you took the eleventh place in the exam." That's amazing! ”
Xiang Hui glanced at him: "It's not the first place." ”
An Su, who was on the side, listened to it and said proudly: "How can the first place get your turn, it is our family Jingming." As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Jingming.
The two boys turned their gaze in disbelief to the bald boy next to Ansu who had been silent. Peng Dongjun was surprised that it was this little bald head who was admitted to the fifth middle school in the first place. And Xiang Hui didn't care about the so-called first place at all, the point he heard was that this little bald head belonged to An Su's family. He was speculating about the relationship between the two men.
Peng Dongjun asked uncertainly: "You are Shi Jingming?" ”
Jingming smiled and nodded his head. Turning his head, he reached out and touched Ansu's forehead, his eyes were asking Ansu, and he didn't care about the stranger at all.
"I'm fine." An Su shook his head, then hugged Jingming's arm and laughed happily, "I was admitted to the fifth middle school!" ”
Jingming smiled happily.
At this time, the two only had each other in their eyes, completely ignoring the gazes of the idlers on the side.
She was also admitted to the fifth middle school, and the two could see each other every day in the future, which made Xiang Hui very happy. But the intimacy of the two in front of him was so dazzling to him.
An Su ignored Xiang Hui anymore, left him aside like a stranger, and went home happily with Jingming, waiting to receive the admission notice from No. 5 Middle School.
Looking at the back of An Su and Jingming leaving together, Xiang Hui was inexplicably annoyed. Because Ansu didn't say a word to him from beginning to end except for apologizing.
Peng Dongjun asked Xiang Hui: "Who is that girl?" ”
Xiang Hui didn't answer, turned around and left.
That night, Jingming, who was copying Buddhist scriptures under the lamp, was in a daze with a brush to the scriptures. He and An Su were admitted to the fifth middle school as they wished, but the question of whether they could continue to go to school was once again troubled. If he can't continue his studies, then he will have to be ordained as a monk like his brothers, and devote himself to cultivation in the morning and evening. Although he thought it would be good to stay in the temple, the young boy's heart also had an infinite longing for the vast world outside.
Master Zhishan stood by the door, looking at Jingming, who was in a daze with a pen. This was the first time he had seen a little apprentice like this. He, a young apprentice, has always had a clear state of mind, a very high level of understanding, and a thorough understanding of the Dharma is better than any senior brother. It's just that after all, he is young, and he will always inevitably be stained with red dust. It is up to him to choose his future.
He knew what was bothering the little apprentice. "Clear."
Hearing Master's call, Jingming hurriedly put down his pen and got up, folded his hands and respectfully saluted Master.
Venerable Zhishan picked up the Buddhist scriptures copied by Jingming, looked at them, and said, "The pen is a little messy. ”
Jingming lowered his head, a little ashamed.
"Did you go to see the list today?"
Jingming nodded.
"Jingming, whether you stay in the temple in the future or not, you should continue to go to school."
Jingming still bows his head.
"You don't have to worry about tuition and miscellaneous fees, Master will go to the civil affairs department to solve it."
Jing Ming hesitated for a moment and explained to the master the question that was bothering him.
Master Zhishan looked at the little apprentice kindly, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master will make a few more trips to the civil affairs department, and I believe it will solve these problems for you." ”
After listening to Master's words, Jingming's heart was calm again.
Jingtang, who was on the side, looked at Jingming distressedly, if it wasn't for the unfortunate fate of this little junior brother who was brought up by him, he should also be the treasure in the palm of his parents, and he wouldn't be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha at a young age.
