The spring of 2003 should have been a clear sky, the time to travel, but in Quantang Junior High School there is indeed another situation, nervous, control, every student is required to live in the school, go to school during the day to throw the mat futon in the back of the classroom, at night to pull the desk open and sleep on the ground, eating is also a big pot of rice, open a small stove is to add money, for the normal meal when a steamed bun in the two corners, a dish in the triangle, open a small stove are based on the yuan starting price, and many times the steamed bread is overnight, yesterday did not finish eating, today continue to steam for students, Protests are ineffective, because the teacher will educate you that in the sixties and seventies many people couldn't even eat steamed buns, moldy sweet potato rice, and so on.

The curriculum of the third year of junior high school is a little tense, everyone is trying to be admitted to a key high school, the hustle and bustle of the past has also fallen silent, every day you can see the figure of students studying sincerely, only when eating and activities, only strolling on the campus, the campus palm big place, I believe most people are familiar with it, the lawn weeds of the library door can be more than one person deep, occasionally a few students wear flowers and butterflies in the past, and come out again.

Yang Alin is also less passionate on campus, he is a little tired of eating fried cabbage for more than a month, especially the fried cabbage does not have many oil stars, occasionally half-baked, he often thinks about how people in that distant era survived natural disasters and social turmoil, how much resilience and perseverance it must have. Seeing that many classmates went back over the wall, the teacher also hinted that he could go over the wall without approving leave, and he also went home with the crowd over the wall, and when he returned home, his mother was very happy, made him a good meal, and talked about the situation outside. I brought a bag of apples from home, and a few of my ancient books went back to the teacher over the wall. At the same time, there is also his mother's instructions, classmate Chen Quan's father has just passed away unexpectedly, and the family doesn't want to delay his exam, so they didn't tell him and don't want him to know before he wins the entrance exam.

It's still the banyan tree, it's still the sky, at the corner of the arch, Yang Alin met Gu Meng, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he smiled slightly and greeted her: "Hi", Gu Meng also echoed "Hi". The two staggered, Yang Alin returned to the classroom, his mind was full of the shadow he had just met, lingering, he ran out of the classroom, came to the place just now, and there was still her shadow among the people who came and went.

One month before the entrance examination, the school will take the physical education test and the physical and chemical laboratory test. In fact, the most important thing in this exam is family relationships, and many of them are given full marks if they have a little relationship. Unless you have the strength to pass with a full score, because every point will be counted in the entrance examination score, which will affect the promotion of higher education. In the previous life, Yang Alin was deducted three points because he didn't find anyone to help in these two exams, and as a result, he was three points short of the admission line of key high schools, so he paid thousands more tuition, and as a result, he went to a third-rate high school, Huyang High School. In this life, there is still no one to rely on, even if someone has to owe favors, he doesn't want to, after all, in this life, he is well prepared and leading.

In the first sports test, lung capacity measurement, Yang Alin easily scored full marks, for those who often practice Xiao Zhoutian, although he did not become a martial arts master, his lung capacity still improved greatly. There are three chances in the standing long jump event, 2.15 meters passing, 2.46 meters or more full score, Yang Alin jumped for the first time, the invigilator didn't care about talking to others, when he jumped 2.46 meters, the invigilator turned around and casually said "2.40 meters", Yang Alin was slightly angry, but he was still ready for the second jump, sometimes it is useless to argue, strength is the most important. The second jump he said to the teacher, "Teacher, look at it." He jumped up, and when he landed, he drifted forward half a meter in the air, with a score of 3.33 meters, and the teacher rubbed his eyes and said: "Classmate, you have passed the full score, but it is much more than the standard, how about I give you a full score of 2.46 meters." Yang Alin didn't want to get into trouble and said "yes". In the third run, Yang Alin took the lead after the gunshot, winning the perfect score with an unbeatable advantage of 11 seconds.

Physics experiment plus test, is invigilated by a teacher from a foreign school, Yang Alin's test item is to observe the cells inside the onion, Yang Alin's experimental ability is extremely poor, especially in the face of the removal of the onion epidermal film, fixed under the microscope, his rough hand trembled and took out the film, put it on the glass lens, and then dripped water, and accidentally washed off the film. After repeating this several times, but he couldn't finish it, he immediately bent down and took out the cigarettes he bought outside the school, and said to the invigilator, "Teacher, your cigarettes." The invigilator didn't want to watch this stupid guy go on anymore, took the cigarette, took out the pen, rustled the cell structure, threw it to Yang Alin, and said solemnly, "Pass the test, remember to draw" Yang Alin picked up the pen and drew it according to the invigilator. The invigilator took it and said, "Oh, is this painting quite powerful?"

Yang Alin walked out of the examination room, took a long breath, and exhaled slowly. It's not good to be serious in this world, it's not okay if it's not serious, it's still right what Grandpa Deng said, white cats and black cats, catching mice is a good cat. What kind of cat am I, phew, I'm not a cat.

The results were announced not long after, and the rest of the two-thirds full score was only deducted one point or two points, for students who have not experienced the entrance examination, it doesn't matter if they are one point or two points apart, but you don't see that when you go to a key high school, you have to pay thousands more, how much family burden is caused, there are few people who are worried about the future, and life continues to live well.

The entrance exam, at the end of June every year, occasionally changes, but this year it has not changed on the 25th and 26th. On the 25th, a passenger car carrying 15 people loaded more than 40 students to take the exam in Shuicheng No. 1 Middle School, after getting off the car, they went to find the examination room, during which Yang Alin still waited for the people to finish before going to find the examination room, because he had to wait for a person to appear, but the figure still did not appear. When I asked her classmates, I found out that she was staying at a relative's house in the county seat yesterday and had not returned. If it doesn't change in the future, he and she will never have a school, a class, or even a luxury to meet again, although in the previous life they were passively avoiding her, staring blankly at places she didn't pay attention to.

The questions on the exam have not changed, and many of the answers are readily available, just like the questions I have done before. He still did it cautiously, because he didn't want to repeat the longing of the previous life, he wanted to watch her happy, although he was watching, but after all, in his sight, it was better than when he just kept paying attention and kept looking and inquiring.

At the end of the exam, it was still raining in the sky outside, Yang Alin clasped his hands in the rain, closed his eyes, ignored any words from others, washed away some melancholy in the wind and rain, leaving a sincere heart to wait for paranoia.
