Chapter 14.Torrential Rain (Part I)

"Don't worry, don't worry, can you tell me what's going on, I'll listen, and then try to help you come up with ideas, okay?"

"This morning, I, I was outside the study, more, stayed for a while, my mother said, saying that I was not serious about studying, and also, and gave me cruel words that I could only do well in the monthly exam, not badly, otherwise if she had no face at the parent-teacher meeting, she would go home and serve in the family law. My dad couldn't look at it, so he helped me say two words, and was scolded by my mom together. He is a strict wife, and he doesn't dare to say anything, so he can only help me outside now and allow me to talk to you........

"She also made fun of my previous participation in the Three Generations Conference, saying that I had learned much less than my classmates in vain, and that there was no good result in delaying time. I don't dare to say how much time I spent trying to make up for it, you know the tattered level I was in the class, and it took all my strength to get into this class. The good ranking in the monthly exam is accidental, and the difference in the ranking is inevitable, I'm really scared, Xiaozhi...... What can I do......"

“......”

"It's over, I'll just say it when it's over." Xia Zhi was angry when she heard it on the other end of the phone, but after thinking about it, she calmed down, rubbed her eyebrows, put her tone softly and said to the other end of the phone, "Ziyan, you are not wrong in this matter, you insist on your own, if it is really ugly, you will go in your left ear and out of your right ear, don't think so much, you can do whatever you can in the exam, no matter how good the classmates are, they will be ranked out, and it is normal for someone to be behind."

"Also, after all, it's your own mother, but she's stronger, but she won't deliberately want to hurt you. It may be true that there is something wrong with the way you speak, but you should try to think as far as you can, right? ”

"Of course I know she won't hurt me, but I don't know why the words in my head keep going around and around, always enclosing myself for some little things, and then I can't think about it, and I've been so stunned since I took the high school entrance examination, you know......

"Actually, I can do better, I want to take the Shudu No. 1 Middle School, but I was really under too much pressure and finally came to our class because I played abnormally. But until now, my mentality has not recovered well, I suffer from gains and losses every day, I can't learn anything at all, and then the vicious circle is getting worse and worse, I'm sorry I said too much today......"

It's not the same as my own situation. Xia Zhi frowned, not knowing how to persuade her.

Xia Zhi was very happy and honored to be admitted to the experimental class of Shu County Middle School, and then calmly faced her not-so-glorious ranking in the best class. Her parents also told her that even being last in the class was excellent, and that as long as she was good and didn't give up trying, they wouldn't blame her.

Ziyan's parents are not quite the same as her own parents, so she is even more worried.

********************

She has always felt that it is better not to comment on things that she has not personally experienced. Therefore, she can still express her understanding of Zhu Ziyan's situation, but at the same time, she is distressed and helpless. What's more of a headache is that I don't know what to say, no matter how I say it, I feel like I don't have a backache when I stand and talk.

...... There was silence.

"Okay, Xiaozhi, I know you're also very embarrassed, I called you today to complain, don't worry too much, I'm already a lot more comfortable, I really don't know how to thank you for being willing to listen to me patiently, and since the military training, I feel like I've always troubled you......"

"Hey, what are you talking about! We're all so familiar with each other, don't talk about this, I'm happy if you can treat me as a bosom friend, it's not troublesome, it's just that you really have to find a way to take your mother away for a while and then take a good rest. ”

“...... Well, so be it, hang up, you have to come on. ”

Doodoo Doot Dot ......

Xia Zhi put down the phone after Zhu Ziyan, and she heard the lamentation and sobbing on the other end of the phone for a moment before hanging up.

She tossed and turned her phone around, and finally slapped it on the Chinese dictionary next to the lamp. Then he covered his eyes with his hands, rubbed his cheeks with the roots of his palms, and let out a long sigh.

What's going on?

********************

Oct. 8, around 8 a.m.

What should come will always come. Whether you want it or not, whether someone expects it or someone panics, whether someone is in a hurry to prove itself and someone is afraid of revealing a clumsy level, it will come, let's call it, time waits for no one.

Xia Zhi walked slowly on the path leading from the school gate to the examination room of the teaching building. A half-cool, half-icy monsoon breeze blew across his face, curling a few strands diagonally across his forehead. She looked up at the sky, the weather in Shudu in October was still mainly cloudy, I don't know if it was her hallucination or what, she felt a few small droplets of water falling on her face, she didn't think about it anymore, and entered the teaching building through the ginkgo drizzle.

There is still a long time before the start of the exam at 9 o'clock, the outside of the classrooms of each class is full of extra desks, chairs and benches for the exam, and the public open space on the right side of class 23 is also full of all kinds of bookboxes and sundries, some people are talking and laughing and chatting with the classmates next to them, some people are sitting on their own stacks of books and sharpening their guns, and some people are running back and forth looking for things and don't know what they are doing.

There was also a long queue outside the toilet at the other end, and from time to time, students from the downstairs class went upstairs to take exams to join the big line. The crowd of people, the scene of the whole floor is slightly noisy but still orderly, everyone is busy preparing for the exam, and does not care about others.

The variety of living beings can be seen in full view, and Xia Zhi can't help but be infected by this atmosphere. After saying hello to her classmates and caring for Zhu Ziyan, who was holding her face and reciting on the seat in the classroom, she walked out of the classroom, put her schoolbag on her suitcase, and then sat on the ground, taking out the essential Chinese ancient poetry and literature manual to review carefully.

********************

"The invigilator is requested to organize the candidates to enter the examination room in an orderly manner. The invigilator is requested to organize the candidates to enter the examination room in an orderly manner. Candidates should consciously accept the security check, and during the inspection, if the security check equipment alarms ......"

At around 8:40, the radio sounded in the corridor of the examination room. This exam room instruction came from a gentle and solemn female voice. Xia Zhi looked up at the radio on the ceiling of the corridor, full of curiosity about this unfamiliar voice.

“...... It is forbidden to talk to each other, look left and right, gesticulate, make secret signals, entrain, peep, plagiarize or intentionally let others plagiarize, and it is not allowed to copy answers or exchange answer sheets. Candidates should strictly abide by the examination discipline, and any violation of discipline and malpractice will be dealt with seriously. ”

Since it is the first monthly exam, the seats in the examination room will be arranged according to the student registration number. At this time, Xia Zhi had two classmates in front of her, and she waited patiently for the security check and listened carefully to the radio. At this time, of course, she didn't realize that the radio she listened to carefully at this moment would become the standard for the exam in the future, and three years of repeated brainwashing would make everyone accustomed to it, and in the end, many classmates, including her, could even recite it word for word.

Of course, that's another story.

********************

As soon as she entered the examination room, she noticed that Lu Yibu was sitting in front of her left oblique, looking sideways at the window with a deep face, and at the same time saw Meng Lingyuan sitting in front of his right oblique face, and his eyes were smiling as he watched her approach.

"Laughing ghost, what's so funny." He passed by Meng Lingyuan's seat and slapped Meng Lingyuan's head with the palm of his hand.

"No, in fact, I think so," Meng Lingyuan turned around, looked back at the teacher who was still at the security check outside the door, and made sure that there was no "life-threatening" when he spoke now, so he turned back and half-covered his mouth with his backhand and said to Xia Zhi, "I think we have a feeling that the other party seems to be haunted every time." ”

"Poof, how do you know what I'm thinking too, it's amazing!" She saw the invigilator packing up the security scanner and preparing to go back, so she motioned for Meng Lingyuan to turn around and stop amusing him.

At this time, she noticed that Lu Yibu also turned her head and looked in the direction of the invigilator on the podium...... But she quickly shook her head and stopped looking at him. felt as if God was challenging her willpower, so she deliberately asked the head of the grade, Teacher Liu Jun, who was in their class, to arrange Lu Yibu's seat diagonally in front of her, so she couldn't always be attracted by him.

The previous "don't look around" exam room instruction suddenly sounded in her head, although she hasn't sent the paper yet, and she has always been law-abiding, she will not deliberately violate discipline, but she also realized that she can't go on like this.

So she calmed down, sat upright in her seat, put her fingers on the table after setting up the stationery, and waited quietly for the curls.
