Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Four
Then began to talk at length, in fact, there is nothing substantive in the usual class meeting, the school has one or two notices, but it doesn't take much time, and then it is a reminder to tell all students not to relax because of the exam, or to hurry up, the high school entrance examination is not far away, this is also old-fashioned, since the third year of junior high school, every class meeting must talk about something. Then he continued to talk about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries, strange and interesting anecdotes, up to astronomy and geography, down to celebrity trivia, big to Taiwan independence and other political issues, and small to neighbors' dog fights are about to come out, but they don't say a word about the test results, and some of the students below who are a little more impatient have long been impatient, and they can't wait to go up and choke his neck to pinch out their results.
Our homeroom teacher is a Chinese teacher, surnamed Xu, with the same surname as me, dating back to the ape-like period, maybe it is still the same ancestor. There is a lot of Chinese ink in the chest, and he also likes to show off in front of his classmates, deepen his admiration for his classmates, enhance his prestige, usually reluctant to speak in the language class time, the class meeting is the best opportunity to get angry, every time the class meeting is said to be like a gushing river, "draw the knife and break the water and the water is more flowing", when he goes to work, others can never interrupt.
Occasionally, he would publish one or two poems and essays in the city tabloids, and after each publication, he would always pay for a few newspapers and send them to the whole class to read his masterpieces.
In fact, I still admire his profound knowledge, and usually the class will like to listen to him chatting nonsense, but now I am anxious, and I don't have the patience, and I scolded his eighteenth generation ancestor below, and then I thought about it, everyone is surnamed Xu, and it may not be the same ancestor within eighteen generations.
He is a product of this with a round belly, and he often spews wine into the classroom, saying a few words like a toad, but he is still very measured, and he has never seen him lose his temper in front of us.
I don't know if it's too much brain, it's too early, and now there are only a few hair on the head, it can really be said that it is the hair on the toad, especially cherished, the forehead has been completely wiped out, the oil is shiny, and most of the light that shines on it is going to be reflected out.
Every time he is happy, worried, sad, angry, disappointed, no matter what emotion, he has to habitually touch his head, and comb it on his head with his hand, in fact, this is a very bad behavior, his hair quality is not good, and then exert external force, it is inevitable that a few roots will come out of the ground under a dial, and he will be heroic and righteous, but his actions have become a habit, and he can't change it.
He has three hobbies, the first is wine, the second is to buy literary talents, and the third is to try shampoos and hair growth agents in various newspapers, magazines and TV commercials. Girls pay more attention to their hair maintenance, I heard that the average girl in the class has 3 or 4 bottles of shampoo per person, dozens of bottles are placed on the back balcony almost to cover the day, we boys don't care, sometimes even the whole dormitory is only one bottle, 8 people use it together. They also often go to the supermarket to buy shampoo, and many people have seen the head teacher next to the shampoo counter attentively and carefully.
Although he has spent a lot of effort on this, these shampoos and hair growth agents are still tried and tested, and the repeated trials and tried-and-tested here means that every time he tries it, it has no effect, and he is extremely unhappy. He nodded and found that it was really his heart and liver baby, and his status was close to his own son, and it was becoming scarce day by day, and it was falling on his head and hurting in his heart.
Now he is in his 50s, a person in the society crawling and rolling to this age, it is the most treacherous and slippery time, this kind of old fritters can calm down everything, and the sky is also covered by a quilt, compared to our small fritters are too tender, the heat is insufficient, and they will be shocked when they encounter something big.
Until the end of class, he had already talked about the question of whether there was life on Mars, and then the conversation changed, and he simply pulled the topic back to Earth from Mars: "Students, time is running out, let's announce the results of this midterm exam." After speaking, he raised his head, his eyes swept over the class, and he saw that everyone in the class was waiting for him to speak, and he was very satisfied, and lowered his head to look at the report card in his hand and began to read: "No. 1, Zhang Wen, Chinese 95, Mathematics 96, Physics 97, Chemistry 95, English 98, total score 481, 1st!" ”
This is also expected, from the first to the third year of junior high school, without exception, the people in the class with such high grades are no longer surprised. An imperceptible smile flashed on Zhang Wen's face, not because she was the first in the class, because she was very confident, she was proud that her English test was almost perfect, and this score could overshadow me again this time.
"No. 2, Li Ming, Chinese 89, Mathematics 90, Physics 88, Chemistry 82, English 88, total score 437, 10th."
"No. 3, Chen Ying, Chinese 92, Mathematics 87, Physics 90, Chemistry 88, English 92, total score 449, 6th."
…………
…………
…………
"No. 36, Wen Qiang, Chinese 78, Mathematics 76, Physics 80, Chemistry 83, English 75, total score 392, 40."
"No. 37, Chen Lin," the head teacher looked at me with very strange eyes, and then said: "Chen Lin, Chinese 93, mathematics 95, physics 95, chemistry 94, English ,......" Speaking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, his hand vigorously plucked his hair, and he struggled to spit out a few words: "English, English 100!" 478 overall, 2nd place! ”
There was a big uproar in the class, all eyes were on me, some were shocked and unbelieving, some were envious and jealous, and some were really happy for me, Zhang Ke was sincerely happy for me, regardless of the presence of the head teacher, put it on my shoulder, and said excitedly: "Good boy, okay!" When did it become so powerful? I don't find out when I'm with you every day, when to celebrate, you can't avoid this meal! ”。
I have heard my grades spit out from the mouth of the head teacher word by word, I put down a big stone hanging in my heart, it is one thing to have confidence in myself, but confidence is always based on the facts to be the most firm, I now have no doubt that I am no longer the cowardly and stupid Chen Lin before, more than ten years of anger and grievances finally completely dissipated, I smiled and whispered to Zhang Ke: "I don't need you to say that I know, it is the turtle grandson who does not go." "I find that I have been getting more and more cheerful recently, and sometimes when I am too happy, I will inevitably mention some sons, grandfathers, grandsons, grandmothers, and of course, Zhang Ke's edification.
Zhang Wen also looked over to me, and I noticed her, her expression was complicated, as if she was happy for me, she was the only one in the class who didn't make a fuss about what happened to me, through what had happened before, and her keen feminine intuition, she had always thought in her heart that I might be unusual, and now it was just a conjecture in her heart that had been confirmed.
