After shouting a few words in the dream, Wang Qiao suddenly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw Yan Lin's quiet sleeping face by the moonlight. He was in a brief trance, and then returned from his dream to reality. He pulled the horns upwards to cover Yan Lin's smooth shoulders. Then lie down under the covers and hold your smooth and warm body in your arms.

Yan Lin buried her head in Wang Qiao's arms, and her dreams were gone.

She accidentally saw Wang Qiao's letter, and Lu Qi's name was firmly engraved in her heart, and tonight she was awakened by Wang Qiao's dream words, and the call of "Lu Qi" came so clearly, lingering and rotating in her ears, never stopping.

After a sleepless night, Yan Lin kept her eyes open until dawn, and when the first rays of light entered the house, she got up to cook breakfast for Wang Qiao.

Wang Qiao opened his eyes and saw that there was no one by the pillow, and there was the sound of pots and bowls in his ears. He walked to the kitchen and saw that Yan Lin was concentrating on cooking porridge, and said, "Your face is not very good, what's the matter, you didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Yan Lin turned her head, squeezed out some smiles, and said, "Women are unkempt when they wake up in the morning, don't stay here, either go back to bed and sleep, or read a book." ”

Wang Qiao naturally couldn't understand the change in Yan Lin's mentality, and said: "A woman with a plain face is the best, and only a confident woman can face the sky." ”

When Wang Qiao returned to the living room, the tears in Yan Lin's eyes kept sliding down her cheeks. She read too many stories about Prince Charming and princesses when she was a girl, and was full of fantasies and longings for her first love, and at this time she tasted the taste of first love, although it was beautiful, but it was not perfect, which made her feel strong disappointment and pain.

Yan Lin can tolerate Wang Qiao's love and all the things in Wang Qiao's past, but what she can't tolerate is that Wang Qiao is still obsessed with his former lover, and when cooking porridge, she keeps convincing herself: "Wang Qiao and Lu Qi are the story of the past, as long as he is sincere to me, I don't want to entangle his past." Although he comforted himself so much, the call of "Lu Qi" at night was like a thorn in his heart, so that he could not let go of it no matter what.

The college entrance examination is approaching, Yan Lin is reluctant to show any little daughter at this time, and after wiping away her tears, she talks and laughs with Wang Qiao.

Time flies, and the college entrance examination day is finally coming.

When the college entrance examination arrived, sticking out the head was a knife, and shrinking the head was also a knife, and the heavy pressure that had accumulated in the hearts of the students in the repeating class was reduced, and a few people left the dormitory and lived in a hotel with their parents. Most of them stayed in the repeat class, and at noon, the students who were reviewing in the classroom were kicked out by the teachers, or slept or went to the playground to exercise. The schedule of how many days before the college entrance examination was torn up and discarded in the trash. Classical music was played in the school to create a relaxed pre-exam atmosphere.

Wang Qiao called home and made it clear that no one would come to the house, and that anyone who came would distract him. Wang Qiao has been separated from his parents' wings since he went to Quang Nam, and both Wang Yongde and Du Zongfen are accustomed to him being a maverick.

Wang Yongde has experienced difficult years in the detention center, he treats his son as an adult, and no longer interferes too much in his choices, and now his favorite sentence is: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing, and we don't have to worry about it as parents." Du Zongfen once had the idea of going to Jingzhou to accompany the exam, but after receiving a call from his son, he dispelled this idea.

On July 7th, Wang Qiao took a 2B pencil, eraser, and triangular ruler, and came to the examination room in Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School early. There are police officers on duty walking around, and the olive green police uniform has a natural deterrent, giving the scene a sense of solemnity.

Last year, the national college entrance examination promotion rate was about 20%, and the promotion rate of Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School's top class was about 40%, and the average of the whole school was about 30%, which means that the vast majority of students waiting here will eventually fail.

A very small number of candidates used the last bit of time to revise, constantly flipping through the books, eager to stuff the books into their heads. Wang Qiao didn't think much of this temporary cramming, found a relatively quiet place, paced back and forth slightly, and flashed Yan Lin's figure in his heart, and said secretly: "Yan Lin's grades are better than mine, there should be no problem, I hope she can get good results." ”

At 8:30, the instructions for candidates began to be broadcast on the radio, the iron door opened, and the candidates rushed in. After entering the examination room, the candidates found the classroom according to the schematic diagram in front of the door.

At 9 o'clock, the bell rang loudly, and the curtain of the college entrance examination officially opened.

After the curtain opens, the fate of countless people will be changed. University is closely linked to hukou and work, and being admitted to university means having at least one formal job, not making big mistakes, and worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime, and a small number of people will take college as a starting point and embark on the road to the elite. If you can't get into college, it means that the road of life is much more difficult, so you have to step into the society early, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to step into the elite society by crawling at the bottom of the society. Girls mature earlier than boys, and understand that this exam will determine the path of life, and the psychological burden is much heavier.

After Wang Qiao got the paper, he took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and then filled in his name and test number according to the teacher's prompts, checked it and began to read the questions. Not long after I started writing, there was a "plop" sound in the front row, and a girl fainted to the ground, and the test paper fell to the ground. An invigilator quickly picked up the test paper from the floor, put it back on the table, and squatted down to take care of the girl. Another invigilator hurried outside the classroom to ask for support. Soon, the doctor in the white coat rushed to the classroom, and after some examination, he summoned a stretcher and carried the girl out.

This girl is a classmate in Wang Qiao's class, usually silent, studying extremely hard, belonging to a diligent student who has been studying in the classroom for a long time, and her grades are also excellent, about the top ten in the class. studied hard for a year, but fell at the starting point of the charge, which made Wang Qiao sigh.

After a short sigh, Wang Qiao left the fainted girl behind and concentrated on the question.

At the end of the first subject, Wang Qiao felt okay with himself. Walking out of the classroom, in order to maintain a good attitude, he did not check the answers with his classmates and walked quickly away from the exam site.

The three difficult days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the last subject came out, Wang Qiao only felt that his whole body was relaxed, and the hardships of the past year were finally liberated. A test taker stands outside the gate, throws a pen or pencil into the sky, then stomps on it with his foot and throws the book in the trash. His actions drew countless imitators, and for a moment, pens, pencils, stationery boxes, and torn textbooks flew in the sky. Several policemen, who looked visibly relaxed, stood aside and did not stop the candidates' behavior.

A hunched sanitation worker came over with a broom and scolded: "These babies who have been stabbed a thousand times, they have thrown away good things, and I have to sweep them again." She swept the floor so hard that it was dusty.

The parents who used to stand outside the examination room disappeared in unison, and these three days were also a torture for them. The children have not experienced the society, and they do not have a deep understanding of the fate of the college entrance examination to determine people, they are all from the past and understand the benefits and disadvantages of the college entrance examination, so they are more nervous than their children.

Wang Qiao met with Wu Chongbin and others outside the examination room, and talked a few words about the examination situation, Wu Chongbin proposed: "Drink at night, we will get drunk." Yan Lin will come back tomorrow and go to Dayan Lake for two days. ”

Dayan Lake is located in the southern suburbs of Jingzhou and is a famous tourist attraction in Jingzhou. From elementary school to junior high school, Wang Qiao has been to Dayan Lake at least five times. In the past, I went in the name of a class spring outing, but this time it was a small group activity.

After Tian Feng and others gathered, several people came to Xiaozhong to barbecue and ordered a box of 640 ml of Shannan beer per bottle. Xiao Zhong greeted everyone, handed another newspaper to Wang Qiao, and said, "Yang Hongbing has been in the newspaper, this is the first time." ”

This is a Shannan Daily in May, and there is a report on the fourth page of "Walking a Thousand Miles and Riding Together, Just to Catch the Real Murderer", just when Wang Qiao needed help the most, Yang Hongbing and another policeman in Jingzhou went to the distant north to track down the suspect in a vicious homicide case in Jingzhou, overcame many dangers and obstacles, and finally arrested the suspect.

Xiao Zhong is the daughter of the most ordinary family in the county, never thought that his family could be on TV or in the newspaper, after getting the "Shannan Daily", he was proud for a long time, and whenever he met an acquaintance, he would take out the newspaper to show it. She took the newspaper that was handed back, carefully put it away, and asked, "Barbarian, how is the college entrance examination?" You've never been to high school, and it's a miracle to get through the exam for another year. In fact, it is not interesting to be admitted to university, there is no money to work, you have a talent for cooking, and it is definitely more cost-effective to open a shop in the food street than to take the university entrance examination. After four years of college, even if you find 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year in the food street, it will be 200,000 or 300,000 yuan in four years. ”

Xiao Zhong graduated from junior high school and sought employment on his own, with a low level of education and straightforward speech. Wang Qiao secretly had the idea of "the swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird", and did not argue with Xiao Zhong.

When Xiao Zhong left, Liu Hu was upset and said: "This is no knowledge, if you enter the university, you will have a wide sky, and you may become a national talent." Opening a restaurant in a food street is just like this for a lifetime. ”

Hongqi Factory belongs to the ministry factory and mine, and the people in it come from Tiannan and Haibei, with wide development channels, and their vision is naturally higher than that of the locals in Jingzhou. Wu Chongbin and others all support Liu Hu's statement, and you and I will counter Xiao Zhong's statement word by word. Soon the conversation shifted to the possibility of going to university.

Knowing that Wang Qiao reported that he was "ninety percent" sure, Wu Chongbin and others still didn't believe it, several of them were science classes, and they didn't know much about the situation in the liberal arts class, but they had a deep-rooted impression of their "nine points", and they didn't believe that Wang Qiao really had a "ninety percent" certainty.
