358.Things Fail (2)
But the third cousin has graduated now, and every time Tang Yao sits in the classroom and stares at the high school, a trace of melancholy rises inexplicably in her heart.
The sense of certainty that he was not afraid of no matter the sky fell in the past had secretly disappeared unconsciously, although the high school was still a high school, but Tang Yao's two big backers were missing. One is the third cousin who is related to him by blood, and the other is Li Lifeng, who takes special care of Tang Yao because of his third cousin.
Graduation was just around the corner, but Tang Yao didn't have any sense of joy.
What if you graduate, at most, you just move your position from junior high school to high school, and the teachers who like you are either still in junior high school or have left, and the remaining teachers Zhang and Li are still around Tang Yao as they were in their original tracks, becoming the eternal haze in Tang Yao's youth, but Tang Yao doesn't seem to have much choice. If she doesn't go to high school, where can she go?
The children of Tang Yao's family all have the same learning trajectory, entering the primary school in the town, rising to the junior high school in the town, and being admitted to the high school in the town. is like the third cousin, who suddenly changed his will, and there is no objection at home.
The third uncle's condition has deteriorated a little recently, and in the evening, Tang's mother will most likely go to the hospital to take a look at the third uncle, and the third cousin can't take care of Tang Yao's affairs, and Tang Yao doesn't want to disturb the third cousin's mood at this time.
At Tang Yao's age, the old people in the family are all there, so Tang Yao can't understand what it's like for relatives to leave.
On weekdays, during the Qingming and winter solstices, Tang Yao would listen to her classmates discuss which elder to see this year. At that time, it was popular to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy cemeteries, and several classmates in Tang Yao's class went to Suzhou during the Qingming Festival and went to Hangzhou on the winter solstice, which made Tang Yao envious.
Later, when the third uncle left, Tang Yao realized that there was no kind of luck as if his relatives were still by his side.
Tang Yao was young at that time and didn't really understand the meaning of leaving. just knew that the third uncle would never come back, and the third cousin had no father, only a mother.
At the beginning, if Tang Yao knew that she would have to pay so much price to grow up, she would definitely not make some illusory wishes like a thousand paper cranes, she could not want anything, she only hoped that her relatives would still be there, and the family affection would always be there.
After the mid-term examination, the school received a temporary notice from the district education bureau that physical education should be added to the high school entrance examination, and the total score of 4 points will be included in the high school entrance examination results.
Sports has never been Tang Yao's strong point, although Tang Yao can get seven or eighty points in all tests, but since it is to be included in the high school entrance examination results, then seven or eighty points is very poor.
Tang Yao doesn't have to leave a painting every other month, nor does she have to publish a blackboard newspaper every other month, and no one waits for her to go home with her after school. The days suddenly became leisurely, and since he had a lot of time, Tang Yao thought to himself, so he might as well divide a part and practice sports.
Every day after school, Tang Yao followed the physical education students to run a group of 800 meters, practice two groups of standing long jump, and then run a group of 800 meters.
At that time, all junior high schools in the district needed to go to the gymnasium in the district for the assessment. The school specially chartered four buses to send the candidates to the test site, and also distributed a bottle of "Gadley", a particularly popular drink at that time, to each student. Tang Yao still remembers the advertising slogan of "Gadley" at that time, "quenching thirst is more thirsty".
Tang Yao's efforts for nearly a month were not in vain, and he scored full marks in three additional tests, 800 meters, standing long jump and sit-ups. When she came back, Tang Yao saw Lao Yu standing at the door of the bus and looking anxiously, so she drew a "4" to Lao Yu, intending to get 4 points, please rest assured.
As the students who finished the exam got on the bus one after another, the carriage became more and more lively, and the students exchanged the situation of the exam. Because everyone knows where the perfect score and passing mark are, they can know their score after the test.
Some people are eager to talk about how they almost missed the perfect score, but fortunately there are two chances in each event, and how he fought hard to fight for the perfect score.
Some of the classmates were flushed, obviously they had just finished buying a long-distance run, and their breath had not yet stabilized, but they were a little unsure of the excitement of the classmate just now, and they must be thinking in their hearts: Isn't it only four points, you are running so hard, but you are only two points more than me.
Some students don't have such a good self-resolution, and as soon as they get in the car, they have a miserable white face that immediately cries. There are some things that don't work hard beforehand, and you want to expect to score at the end of the goal, it's a miracle, and the chance of it happening is almost zero. Therefore, if you don't do well in the exam, you will take the blame, so you have to find a place where no one is to cry about your uselessness.
But Tang Yao didn't have time to rejoice, Xiao Jiang got in the car and gave Tang Yao a 4, Tang Yao nodded, and also gave a 4 back to Xiao Jiang, and then sat on the seat and looked out the window, stunned.
There are a total of three schools to take the exam today, and when Tang Yao entered the venue, he took a special look at the name of the school placed at the gate, and there was no Jinli school.
The school that Gionee transferred to should be near the gymnasium. It's the weekend, is it possible for Gionee to walk around here?
Tang Yao watched the people coming and going on the road, but none of them were Jin Li's figure, and countless "whys" rose in his heart to strangle Tang Yao to death. Tang Yao felt that Jin Li's knot in his heart was incomprehensible, and this knot could become a time bomb at any time. One day, Tang Yao's heart was depressed, the bomb might explode at any time, and he would not be able to blow up any of his pretended composure and indifference, and then Tang Yao would not even be able to have this thing.
