Because I am already twenty-eight years old, the school is closed today. The doorman of Yulan Middle School looked at Qin Ran and felt like a student of this school, so he didn't care about him and let him ride into the school gate.

Like many counties, Yulan Middle School is a combination of middle and high school, but there is only one high school in the entire county. Just as the students in the county yearn to be admitted to the key middle schools in the city, the students in the townships and towns yearn to be able to enter the only high school in the county. After all, they can only be admitted to college after high school, and it is still a very honorable thing to be admitted to college at this time, otherwise they have to go out to study in technical secondary school or technical school.

Vigorously developing vocational education is actually a very useful thing, but at this time in China, neither high-level nor ordinary parents in society have foreseen the potential disadvantages of "emphasizing diplomas over skills". In terms of score admission, the high school entrance examination was diverted once, and the college entrance examination was diverted again, and almost all of the eliminated people went to vocational education, while the winning talents continued to march to the university. Universities are preparing to expand their enrollment, and outstanding people are squeezing into universities to study for undergraduates, but there is a lack of excellent blood in vocational education. College and undergraduate, in Qin Ran's view, the two should be parallel roles, the former emphasizes practice, the latter is theoretical, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. However, in China, due to the different employment destinations, junior colleges are a head lower than undergraduates, giving birth to a boom of "college upgrades". After 10 years of practice, many colleges and universities are keen to "upgrade their costs" and then have to "reduce their costs and return to specialized schools", which shows that the whole society still has a strong ability to self-adjust.

Qin Ran was prescient, but that didn't mean he had enough power to change this, after all, he was just an ordinary member of China's hundreds of millions of people. After the toss, there must always be a living lesson in front of us to alert others. Qin Ran understood his ability, some things were not something he could achieve if he wanted to do it, if it wasn't for God giving him a second chance, he would just be a very ordinary teenager. Even if he was admitted to the TOP2 Tianjing University with his ability last time and space, even if there was no blood donation accident, Qin Ranshun stepped into the workplace, and his achievements are estimated to be a decent salary, and after a few years of tossing, he began to get married and have children, becoming a member of the vast number of ordinary salarymen in China.

"Eating gutter oil, but the heart of Zhongnan-Hai."

He locked his bicycle and walked down the school road to laugh at himself in a phrase that would be widely circulated in later generations. However, he was also quickly relieved that this sentence was actually a popular folk interpretation version of "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband".

Compared with the beautiful campus of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Yulan Middle School looks small and dilapidated, and even the seemingly newest teaching building can only be ranked last on the campus of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. However, these did not prevent Qin Ran from appreciating the middle school in his hometown up close, although he had nominally "studied" here for three years, but for Qin Ran now, it was a strange environment.

Compared with the noisy Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Yulan Middle School is like a small jasper raised in the countryside, elegant, quiet and simple. This kind of temperament is actually very similar to the entire Yulan County, Qin Ran walked on campus, and actually felt an indescribable peace in his heart. Perhaps at this moment, he can forget his identity, stay away from all the troubles of the world, and enjoy the rare time of himself alone.

Looking at the blackboard bulletin board, Yulan Middle School was closed for the afternoon to facilitate the winter vacation students to go home, after all, the students who live in the township have a longer journey home. Next to the Yulan Middle School final exam results are posted, each grade has it, Qin Ran found the high school part, and found that with the standard total score of 750 points, the top students in Yulan Middle School are about 100 points lower than Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

These 100 points are the gap between ordinary county-level high schools and the famous Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. If you put it in the college entrance examination, 100 points is enough to be the distance between heaven and earth. But this is the reality, and peers who are originally at the same starting line will open up the gap for the first time in their lives.

According to the record in the homework book, Qin Ran learned that the previous "self" was studying in the 5th class of the third year of junior high school, and while the door of the teaching building was not locked, he took a step towards the classroom. The teaching building of Yulan Middle School has 6 floors, just one grade per floor, from low to high, Qin Ran came to the third floor and found the location of the 5th class of the third year of junior high school. In the teaching building, he would occasionally meet a few students from this school, seeing that they were still holding books, Qin Ran knew that they were probably the most special group of people in the school, reading books all the time, but their grades had not been able to improve.

Unfortunately, the door of the classroom of Class 5 of the third year of junior high school was locked, and Qin Ran had to glance inside a few times from the window. Looking at the dilapidated desks inside, Qin Ran didn't know which one he had sat on before, or if he was hypocritical to find memories that didn't belong to him.

Leave the school building and head to the playground, where students are playing football. In the past 98 World Cup, with the popularization of mass media and television, China really blew a football storm, and many people, men and women, young and old, were involved in this storm and became a "fan". Qin Ran is such a "fan", he is not a fan of a certain team, he just follows the game lively, knows the hottest stars, understands the rules of football, and can chat with die-hard fans, but he doesn't care too much about the result of the game. Realistically, he's a pseudo-fan. The World Cup was as he knew, with France winning the tournament as hosts and Brazil losing as favourites.

Sitting next to the playground, Qin Ran watched with interest the students playing the ball clumsily, two bricks forming a goal, and the students circled the field in the corner of the playground and kicked back and forth happily.

"Hey, Qin Ran?"

A coquettish shout pulled Qin Ran back to reality, and he turned his head to see that it was a girl with small freckles on her face.

"Sure enough, it's you, why- don't you know me?"

The person who came was Wang Ying, a former classmate that Qin Ran met in the market last year.

"Wang Ying, how could you not know it!"

Qin Ran replied with a faint smile.

"You have a conscience! I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for almost a year, but you are getting more and more handsome. Do you want to go back to school to find the time before, do you want me to ask He Lulu to come out and get together, and give you the opportunity to create a zào. ”

Wang Ying is familiar with people, and it is estimated that she has a good relationship with the previous "Qin Ran", otherwise she would not be so generous with Qin Ran.

"Forget it, when I was young and confused, I almost forgot about this stubble if you didn't mention it. Please don't pull the two of us together, my eldest boy doesn't care, it doesn't affect the reputation of the girl's family. ”

Hurriedly begged the other party to stop, Qin Ran didn't want to really have anything to do with He Lulu.

"Look, blush! I whispered to you that He Lulu asked me about your news not long ago, but I didn't know about you, so I didn't say anything. Lulu has good grades in the city's key high schools, ranking in the top 20 all the time, and it will not be a problem to go to a key university at that time. ”

Seeing Wang Ying wearing the school uniform of Yulan Middle School, Qin Ran knew that she was studying here. He really didn't want to continue this topic, lest the enthusiastic matchmaker in front of him help pull the strings.

"Please, do you think I'm worthy of someone?"

Qin Ran was a little anxious, and said this casually.

"Well, think about it too! You and her are indeed in a lot of poor conditions, they have excellent grades and are beautiful, what are you...... Hehe, I won't talk about it, I advised you to give up when you asked me to deliver a love letter. ”

I didn't expect to talk nonsense, this Wang Ying also analyzed it seriously, it seems that the original "Qin Ran" is really not very good.

"Okay, I remember the last time we met, I owe you a meal. I just have a chance today, so how about you come to the school gate and eat at the school gate? ”

When it comes to eating, it is estimated that few girls will refuse, and Qin Ran wants to quickly withdraw from the original topic.

"Okay! It just so happens that I want to eat the spicy tang at the door, please, don't deny it. ”

There will be many food stalls in front of the school, after all, students are the main consumer group.

Wang Ying should be a frequent customer of Malatang, and after she greeted the boss, she took the plate and began to select the ingredients.

Qin Ran didn't care about eating, but for the sake of entertainment, he simply chose a few things, and then handed them to the boss to make the pot hot, and when they were cooked, they would naturally be brought to his small table.

"How are you doing?"

Finally handed the two large plates of ingredients to the boss, Wang Ying came to the small table and sat down.

"It's okay, so-so, part-time work."

Qin Ran is telling the truth, he is indeed studying and working at the same time now.

Wang Ying also knew about the changes in Qin Ran's family, thinking that he didn't want to go to Jiangzhou because he didn't want to be in the sad place of Yulan, so he didn't ask in detail.

Seeing such a petite girl with such a big appetite for the first time, Wang Ying eliminated plate after plate of spicy tang, Qin Ran felt that he had to kindly remind the other party.

"Don't you have to eat dinner later? Oh, I didn't mean that, you see I have enough money, it's not that I think you eat too much. I'm afraid you'll not be able to get home for dinner later. ”

At this time, Qin Ran missed the girl in Jiangzhou a little, and when he was with her, Qin Ran didn't have to explain so much.

"This is my dinner, I won't eat it when I get home."

The mouth kept stopping, dipping a string of hot beef offal in sauce and eating it, Wang Ying replied after fanning the small mouth with her hand sticking out her tongue.

For Qin Ran, Malatang is just a snack and can't be used as a meal, but it is obvious that Wang Ying, the representative of girls, does not think so.

At this time, a mother and daughter passed by the side of the road holding hands, Qin Ran looked at it, he was really afraid of something! The mother and daughter were He Lulu and her mother, Qin Ran's first reaction was to quickly bow his head, and then peeked at Wang Ying, and found that she was eating so much that he didn't see it.

With a wide heart, Qin Ran planned to pretend that he didn't see anything.

"Wang Ying!"

You don't see anyone else, but someone else sees you.

With a shout, Qin Ran's brows couldn't help frowning, because he saw He Lulu throwing off his mother and walking towards the small table between the two of them.

"Lulu!"

As soon as she saw the arrival, Wang Ying stood up excitedly and said hello.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ran had no choice but to stand up and squeeze out a smile to greet him.

Seeing that Qin Ran was also here, He Lulu felt that her eyes lit up, as if she had seen something that she had been looking for for a long time.

"Wait for me, I'll go and tell my mom to let her go first, and I'll come back and talk later."

Seeing He Lulu running away happily, Wang Ying secretly said to Qin Ran.

"Look, say Cao Cao Cao has arrived."

"Don't talk nonsense later!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Ran felt like a warning to the girl next to her, who had always been open-mouthed.

In this way, the old people were reunited, and Qin Ran sat next to the two girls a little embarrassed.
