(xxiii)

Zhong Shan said that he would take care of his heart, and he didn't go out to play crazy all winter. After returning home from cram school, I plunged into my room and reviewed the six homework around the college entrance examination from beginning to end, from coarse to fine, from general to focused, where I was weak, I worked hard, and if I didn't understand, I drew it with a pen, and asked the teacher again when I went to school the next day. At night, I have to study every day until midnight before I go to bed.

The mother found that her son had been a little tired and thin recently, and she was very distressed, so she gave her son an extra supper every night, sometimes a bowl of noodle soup or a bowl of gnocchi soup with a poached egg, sometimes a loaf of bread and a cup of milk powder, sometimes a biscuit and malt cream. Then, while knitting a sweater in her room, she waited quietly, and her son's room did not turn off the lights, and she would never go to bed early.

During this time, Zhong Shulin went back to his hometown Liushutun to discuss with his eldest brother about erecting a monument to his parents' graves. The eldest brother has said this several times, a few years ago, Zhong Shulin was in the leadership position, and it was not good to make a big show, but this year he retired from his post and can start to do it. In addition, I just retired, and my heart was empty, and I wanted to go back to my hometown to live for a while. Sleeping on the hot kang in my hometown, it seems that I have returned to my childhood of poverty and suffering.

After the beginning of spring, Zhongshan packed up his luggage and lived in the dormitory of the school, in order to have more time to review his homework and sprint for the college entrance examination.

He hadn't been home for a long time, and his mother had come to school a few times, and each time she brought a change of clothes, and packed up the dirty clothes, and brought apples, boiled eggs, and other food, and told her son to eat and sleep well, not to be tired, and to go home when he had no money.

This time, Zhong Shan worked hard, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time was soaked in the classroom, doing one exercise after another, the mock test results improved by leaps and bounds, and the ranking on the big list rose sharply.

On this day, when he walked out of the teaching building after self-study at night, Zhong Shan heard someone behind him shouting his name, and his voice was crisp and sweet, which was very good. Through the dim light, he saw a girl standing behind him, vaguely feeling as if she was a classmate in a cram school, what was called Lin, I couldn't remember clearly.

The girl said enthusiastically: "Zhong Shan, the equation problem that the math teacher taught me just now confused, you can tell me again." In fact, Zhongshan is not very good at mathematics, and he has been planted in mathematics for the two college entrance examinations, and in this half year, he is ready to focus on mathematics, so he listens to lectures very carefully in class. So he explained the process of solving the equation in detail, and the girl looked at Zhongshan with beautiful big eyes as if she didn't understand. In school, Zhong Shan is a shy boy who rarely talks to female classmates, but this girl surnamed Lin makes him feel very friendly, so he speaks very clearly and eloquently.

Later, Zhong Shan noticed in class that the girl's name was Lin Meihui, she was a beautiful and extremely beautiful girl who loved to dress up, tall and tall, short hair with a slight perm and a little wavy, a dark blue small lapel coat faintly revealing the pink shirt inside, light gray thin and long trousers, and brown semi-high heeled leather shoes half-hidden at the hem. It was the first time that Zhong Shan paid so much attention to a female classmate, and every glance made his heart flutter, and he looked away, but he couldn't control a turbulent heart, so he unconsciously moved his eyes to Lin Meihui's body, and there was a feeling in his body that he had never felt before, and this feeling converged in his heart, which was a surging tide.

Every time he entered the classroom, he glanced at Lin Meihui's seat with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and if she sat there, he was like a glimpse of a ray of sunlight shining through the clouds. And if she was not there, his heart would feel gloomy and empty, so he couldn't help but look at the door of the classroom again and again, until the beautiful figure appeared, and his heart was clear and full again.

Later, Zhong Shan's tablemate suspended from school due to the weight of the nervous breakdown that could not resist the college entrance examination sprint, so Lin Meihui moved to Zhong Shan's side on her own initiative, telling the teacher that she was short-sighted, so it was really better to look at the blackboard in this way. Zhong Shan was secretly happy in his heart, but he was also a little flustered, and he didn't know how to get along with this new tablemate.
