Chapter 4 Half flamboyant and half low-key
At the beginning of junior high school life, Quantang Junior High School is a larger campus, the school has a three-story teaching building, sitting north and facing south, more than 100 meters from east to west, a total of 18 classrooms, there is a big banyan tree behind the building, there is a circular arch under the banyan tree, and there is a carved couplet on both sides of the door: thousands of teachings, teaching people to seek truth; Learn from thousands of things, learn to be a real person. There are several small independent courtyards at the back of the building, which are in turn the student dormitory, the library, the dining hall and the staff dormitory, and a large playground at the back. The student dormitory is a few tiled houses with several plane trees in front of the door. The library is a small two-story building that looks exquisitely chic. The restaurant is also a few tiled houses, with an iron shed in front of the door. At a glance, I saw three large stoves, a stack of oil, and several large iron pots, placed at random. There is a garden in front of the faculty dormitory, which is beautiful and beautiful. The horizontal bar on the playground is lonely, and the weeds are dense in the eye.
Yang Alin was placed in the first (1) class of junior high school, and Gu Meng was placed in the second (2) class of junior high school, the two classes were adjacent to each other, and there was a wall in between.
Yang Alin's homeroom teacher is his English teacher, surnamed Niu, who looks to be in his 20s, has just graduated, is short and slender, and has a white baby face. On the first day of class, she took out a set of test questions and handed them out, and then sat quietly on the podium. Soon, Yang Alin finished writing and lay on the table casually. His behavior made the teacher at the front desk look right, and the kind-hearted teacher Niu secretly noted that this student should educate him well in the future, and no matter how smart the student is, he must pay attention to every assessment. In this era, only good exams can make a difference.
In class the next day, Mr. Niu took a roll call, and paused when he clicked on Yang Alin, thinking that he was confirming this classmate. Chen Quan won the first place in this exam, Yang Alin ranked second, and several students in the class who went to school with Yang Alin in elementary school were very puzzled, why did Yang, who has always been the first place, not do well in the exam this time. In fact, Yang was still good in the exam, and when Chen Quan's score was the same as his, Mr. Niu deliberately subtracted one point, hoping to suppress and suppress his arrogance. But the adverse effects of this caused by Yang were indeed unexpected by her.
Soon after Yang Alin returned home, he saw his sullen grandmother and sister busy with work. It was only when I ate that I learned that the results of this exam had been transmitted to my home. Chen's mother next door was very happy to show off to Grandma Yang that her son Chen Quan was finally better than Yang's classmate. Many people next to me also said that they went to junior high school, and there were more things to learn, and those who were smart before may not be very smart, which is fatal for the old-fashioned grandmother, and the grandson who has always been proud of himself has been squeezed out of the first place, and he feels very uncomfortable, will he not be able to take the school exam in the future as others say. She couldn't bear to say these words to her grandson, and it was quite bad to hold them in her heart.
Father Yang and Mother Yang didn't care, although it was not the first place, but it was not the last place, although it could always be smooth sailing, and it would always be the first. So when he was eating, he persuaded his son not to care, and worked hard to earn it back, Yang Alin agreed but also couldn't cry or laugh, what is this called, he answered the question at will at will in a low-key manner, and really answered the question.
There were many people in the village who seemed to know everything, pointing from a distance, and every time Yang appeared, they were silent, and then they talked about it. The school was in the middle of the village, so something quickly spread. This world is originally about talking about others behind your back, or being talked about behind your back, and Yang has already reached the point where his heart is like a dry well, and he can't make any waves.
Soon, a month passed, and the results of several English tests came out, and Yang unreservedly approached the full score or passed the full score, and the Chinese score was the same. There is no other geopolitical and physical history test, and even if the results are not different. During this period, every time I met Gu Meng, although I didn't say anything, every time I smiled, when someone paid attention, I would find that there was a boy who always looked at the pretty figure on a bicycle, stopped and stood still, and came back to his senses for a long time.
Every time he walked, his ears would stand intently and he could distinguish the sound of other people's or hers bicycle chains, which had become a habit, and his hearing was getting better and better. This may be the throbbing power of the mind, which often penetrates space and time.
The school selected excellent essays, and Yang's essays were selected, which also made the young vice principal pay attention to him. Check his writing and study every time he takes a break.
With the advantage of rebirth, many excellent articles that have not yet appeared have been thrown into publishing houses, newspapers and magazines under Yang Alin's unceremonious reference. The works bear the pseudonym Loebuck. Yang also accumulated more than 3,000 yuan in manuscript fees, which was a huge amount of money for 1999, and his parents did not know anything about it. There are many secrets in his heart that he treasures by himself, and the secrets that the two of them know are not secrets, and he is willing to hide them until the end.
The school kept rewarding him with "Reading for Middle School Students", and there were only a few books in each class, and they were all distributed to the first few students, and many students did not have them. Chen Quan lost a copy of "Reading for Middle School Students" and secretly told the teacher, and the Chinese teacher found the students in the back rows between classes and asked, who saw a copy of "Reading for Middle School Students", and these arrogant masters asked the Chinese teacher unceremoniously, "What's wrong, who lost it?" The Chinese teacher replied teasingly, "The good students in our class lost a copy" and then left the classroom, the remaining few people were suspected by the teacher, and they were furious, why did they lose something to find us, they didn't dare to do anything to the teacher, so they were jealous of Yang Alin, for them only Yang Alin is a good student, and the others are not, so inexplicably Yang Alin has formed a feud with others, which is really a disaster.
Yang Alin, who was 13 years old this year, began to practice five-step boxing, and in his previous life, he continued to practice all year round, and practiced the basic five-step boxing superbly, and the foundation was not the most basic and substantial. Every move has been practiced thousands of times, and it has turned decay into magic, and the road is simple, what is lacking in this world is not the miraculous magic but the practice that few people can adhere to step by step. No wonder the great writer Su Dongpo once said: "Those who set up great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance." ”
After school on Monday afternoon, a few classmates were slow to leave the class, and when they ran out, they hurried to a seat, grabbed a schoolbag and walked outside the classroom, to the pine and cypress trees at the back of the classroom, tearing up the textbooks.
