Chapter 22: The Time to Fulfill the Gambling Contract

In the vastness of the universe, time and space are redefined.

The behemoths of the earth are nothing but dust and mustard seeds in the universe. The spacecraft that thundered in the atmosphere looked like a turtle in the vacuum. When this turtle cruises in dangerous reef-strewn waters, worrying accidents can happen all the time.

In space, an irregular piece of debris unexpectedly floated in and hit the solar wing shaft of the Aurora spacecraft.

Astronaut Ma Fei raised his head from the dashboard, his eyes full of seriousness and perseverance.

"Commander! The reason for the loss of contact can be determined: due to the accidental collision of space debris, the rotating shaft of the solar wing was damaged and could not be reversed, resulting in the failure of several sets of our relay tracking and control antennas. To make matters worse, the ship will always run out of power. Give me a chance to get out of the cabin, and I'm sure I'll be able to fix the solar wings. ”

Gu Xinghe shook his head: "No." The manual says that the hatch opens in a maximum of 180 seconds. In such a short period of time, not to mention whether it is repaired well or not, once the ship is on fire, negative pressure will be formed, and the hatch will no longer be able to open. We'll wait and see if there's a better solution. ”

"To wait any longer is to sit back and wait." Ma Fei flipped through the astronaut's manual, "To be honest, I always suspected that there was something wrong with the numbers in the manual......"

"How can there be a problem with the manual? That's the result of countless tests by countless people. Remember, I'm the commander, and I have to make big decisions. We came out in two, either die together or go back together! ”

Gu Xinghe stretched out his right hand and pressed it heavily on Ma Fei's right hand. It was a life-or-death pact between one warrior and another.

Ma Fei pursed the corners of his mouth, and he felt that he had once again walked into the examination room of life.

Outside the big iron gate of Boyu School, there were parents standing outside, most of whom were looking in with iron railings; There was only one man and one woman, who had their backs to everyone and looked in the direction they had come.

The man was short and fat, and the woman was tall and thin, both of them were dusty, as if they had gone on a long journey to get here. The man's face was full of anxiety, and the woman's face was not only anxious, but also a faint anger.

Not far from the crowd, the madman clapped and shouted while jumping: "Exam!" Come on, come on. ”

"It's coming, daughter-in-law, it will." Xiao Meng comforted with no confidence.

Xinyu ignored him.

A loud military horn sounded inside the gate.

At the moment when the trumpet was about to end, Ma Haowen and Ma Fei, father and son, appeared in the field of vision. I saw Ma Haowen pulling Ma Fei to run desperately, and the moment the iron door closed, he pushed Ma Fei into the school with all his might.

Xinyu stepped forward and slapped Ma Haowen in the face.

When Ma Fei ran into the examination room of the sixth class of junior high school, the exam had already started for two minutes. The students who had just got the test papers didn't bother to look at the questions anymore and looked up at him one after another. When Teacher Xiao Gao saw Ma Fei, his eyes lit up, and he walked over happily and patted him on the shoulder.

Ma Fei sat down in his seat, faced the test paper, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and picked up the pen.

Soon, Director Yan walked into the classroom, and Teacher Xiao Gao was kicked out.

After a huge setback last time, Director Yan decided not to trust anyone anymore and wanted to come by himself. He looked Ma Fei up and down, snorted coldly, and motioned for him to stand up. Ma Fei's palms, arms, shirt, trouser pockets, thighs, and soles were inspected in turn, the stationery bag was completely turned over, and the pen was disassembled...... Even the security check in prison could not have been more detailed than this, and the surrounding classmates snickered.

Clean, nothing! Director Yan was very disappointed! He would rather believe that Ma Fei used some high-tech cheating methods than admit that he had no intention of cheating at all. Look at that kid's relaxed face! When was he able to take the exam so calmly? There must be a deception!

Director Yan reluctantly motioned for Ma Fei to sit down and continue answering the questionnaire.

He didn't know that for Ma Fei, he really felt that there was nothing to be afraid of just walking out of the big examination room in his life and walking into the small examination room of the school again.

There is no more important day in life.

The bell rings and the exam is over. The other students have all handed in their papers one after another, and only Ma Fei is still writing with his head down. Director Yan, who had been sitting in the back row of the classroom and observing, walked over with a sneer and knocked on the table. Ma Fei calmly raised his head, drew the last end, got up and walked out of the classroom.

Dad, Mom, and Uncle Meng were all waiting outside the big iron gate, and Ma Fei smiled at them, raised his right hand, pointed his head with his index finger, and made an OK gesture with confidence.

A week later, the results were released.

As on all release days, there was a crowd of people in front of the teaching building of Boyu School, crowded in front of two pieces of paper, one red and one white. The red paper is the winner's list, on which are the names of the top half of the students in their grade with final exam scores; The blank sheet of paper is a list of the fittest, with the names of the last half of the students written on it.

There were crying, laughing, and scolding in the crowd, with different emotions and mixed tastes. Some parents are calm, and when they see the results, they don't express their position, take their children home, and slowly clean up behind closed doors; Some parents are careful, carry the guy's things with them, and find the name and start the mixed doubles.

Ma Fei pulled his father into the crowd, first pointed to the list of the fittest, squeezed his eyes and smiled mischievously: "Dad, let's start from the position I'm most used to?" ”

The two quickly looked at each other, and sure enough, there was no name of Ma Fei, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Then look at the winners' list, starting from the first place, the second and third...... Passing the tenth place, Ma Fei's heart sank little by little......

"Daddy, I'm here!" His voice trembled, and he pointed to the tail of the red paper.

A cold voice came from behind him: "I want to congratulate Ma Fei, who has achieved a good score of sixty-fifth in his grade." I have to say that going from the bottom to this position is indeed a huge improvement. But, rules are rules! Walking the talk is the best example for the students! Is that right? The father and son turned their heads, and Director Yan clasped his hands on his chest, a triumphant smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Ma Haowen had already packed up Ma Fei's bedding and daily necessities in the dormitory, and was about to beckon his son to leave, but found that his son had his back to him and was motionless.

Ma Fei's shoulders suddenly shrugged, and he said with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Dad." I'm sorry. ”

Ma Haowen put down the luggage roll, walked over to hold his son's shoulder, looked deeply into his eyes, and said sincerely: "No, son, you are the pride of your father!" You don't know how much I adore you! ”

In front of the teaching building, Teacher Xiao Gao stared at the score list, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly walked towards the teaching and research room. She was looking for something.

She had just left when a cargo van pulled up to the playground and stopped. Xiao Meng got out of the car with a firecracker, propped it up with a clothes pole, took a cigarette from the corner of his mouth and lit it, leaned on the car, crackling and just put it down.

The black bear and the white wolf were alarmed by the sound of firecrackers and stumbled over, reaching out to grab it.

"What for? Today, the leaders of the Education Commission inspected, don't look for trouble......" "Don't recruit me!" Will you try again? Xiao Meng shouted, his eyes cracked, and he raised his hand suddenly, Rao is as strong as a black bear and as fierce as a white wolf was also thrown away, and the two security guards couldn't help but retreat in fear.

Uncle Meng nodded to Ma Fei, who was walking over: "It's okay, son, you don't have anything else, you have more fathers!" Dongpei inquired, Uncle Meng had nothing else but face. We don't want to break the school, we're not rare. Transfer! Let's pick and choose other good schools. ”

Ma Fei said seriously: "No need Uncle Meng, I'll take the test myself, I can!" ”

A few people were about to turn around and get into the car, when they suddenly saw Teacher Xiao Gao running out of the teaching building, waving the test paper in his hand while shouting: "Wait a minute! Ma Fei's total score is 266 points, only 19 points away from the top 10 in the grade. The only thing that is holding back is this roll! ”
