After the bloodshed, the school gangsters kept a lot of low-key, on the one hand, from the school's suppression, on the other hand, several gangsters who participated in the war were the leading figures in the school, and they were frightened by the bloody scene.

A rare calm was restored in the school, and before he knew it, Donghuang was promoted to the second year of junior high school, and his grades regressed, second in the class and sixth in the whole grade. The first place in the class was snatched by a girl named Liu Ying.

Donghuang doesn't have much impression of this girl, he usually barely speaks, he only remembers that he was still the first in the middle school exam, and the second is Liu Ying, after the results were announced, Liu Ying came over to chat with Donghuang: "I really envy you, I don't usually study much, but my grades are so good~~"

"No, it just so happened that I happened to be in the city~~" Donghuang was telling the truth, he didn't feel that he was as smart as others praised, maybe it was really a coincidence.

"No, you're just very good, do you have any learning methods, can you teach me?" Liu Ying asked a little eagerly.

"There really isn't ~~"

"I'm getting more and more stupid, I used to be the first in the class every time, but now I can't pass you in any of them, and I don't know what to do~~" Liu Ying was very disappointed and continued: "I hate myself for being so stupid, so I punish myself hard every time I don't do well in the exam!" Liu Ying rolled up her sleeves to show Donghuang, and sure enough, on her wrists, there were a few obvious red marks, as if they were made with a head rope.

Donghuang didn't know what to say, but he faintly felt that he was a little sorry for her in the first exam, five or six years later, after learning the news of Liu Ying's suicide after failing the college entrance examination, Donghuang clearly remembered this conversation between the two, her pressure should come from the ardent expectations of her parents, and if the expectations are too big, it will become an unbearable burden for the child. Like Donghuang, my parents don't care, my grandparents don't care, and I don't have any pressure at all during the exam.

At that time, there was one thing Liu Ying said was very right, Donghuang really didn't study much, he liked to read idle books very much, when he was a child, reading books was the only way to calm down the naughty and mischievous him, when he was in elementary school, the literacy was not complete, the old books in the line at home, what Tai Chi Plum Blossom Mantis Boxing, Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, Water Margin, he flipped through it over and over again, and when he encountered a word he didn't understand, he either asked someone, or turned over the Xinhua dictionary by himself, and then he hugged the big thick books sent by his brothers and sisters, such as in the field of hope, the water of the Yellow River came from the sky, etc., he was fascinated, It's an innate hobby.

In the first half of the first year of junior high school, Donghuang was not familiar with the operation, and in the second half of the year, after knowing how to rent books, he was out of control, he had no pocket money, but it didn't matter, on the whole street of Kongzhen, the school food stamps were universal, a book rent two taels of food stamps, a steamed bun money, he could save it, in general, in the matter of reading miscellaneous books, the displacement was relatively modest, he just used the recess and school time to see, the heart was relatively simple, put down the book, The mind can then be retracted, so it doesn't affect the learning much.

After the second year of junior high school, Donghuang encountered the second temptation, and his love for being a year late finally bloomed.

Donghuang fell in love with the physical education teacher's youngest daughter, Cui Ruiying, a girl with a delicate face like a porcelain doll, with a slender body and fair skin, especially those delicate eyes are like a layer of fog, which is fascinating.

Many young boys and girls, when they fall in love for the first time, will breed inferiority complex, Donghuang is like this, he secretly likes Cui Ruiying, and will take a detour to the place where she often appears just to sneak a look at her, but he never dares to say a word to her, Donghuang's inferiority complex comes from two aspects: first, he is only 1.55 meters, and his friends have begun the first round of development, and he has not seen any movement for a long time; Second, he has been wearing the old clothes that his brother has retired, most of the rural children are like this, and his brother was also wearing the clothes that his relatives and brothers had retired.

In this state of crush full of inferiority, Donghuang's concentration in learning has dropped significantly, and he is not as hard as other children, so his academic performance has plummeted, and he only took the fifth place in the class in the middle school exam in the second year of junior high school.

The head teacher Zhao Yinghua made a special home visit, and his grandfather warmly entertained him, as an old private school teacher, his grandfather believed in the truth of good students under the stick, and he said to the teacher: "Teacher Zhao, if you don't obey, you will be beaten to death!" Mr. Zhao thanked his grandfather for his profound understanding of righteousness, and left with satisfaction as if he had asked for a holy decree.

After Mr. Zhao left, his grandfather didn't train him, the old man wouldn't talk about any big truths in his life, he just called Donghuang to him, opened the layers of packages and took out a new dress: "I asked your second aunt to make you a pair of pants~~", Donghuang, who has a secret love, also has a love for beauty, has always wanted a new pair of pants, has been messing with grandma several times, and then my mother didn't know how to know about it, and reprimanded Donghuang for a good time, the matter was over, I didn't expect that after so long, grandpa actually thought.

"You've grown up, and I haven't bought you new clothes, don't let your mother know, go to school to wear ~~" Grandpa said softly, looking at Donghuang's eyes full of kindness, he wanted to be able to raise Donghuang as an adult, but he didn't expect people to age very quickly when they get old, his hair has already turned gray, his waist has bent down, and his eyes have cataracts.

A year ago, the old couple and the three people of Donghuang let their son plant, the old man called the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and said to Xu Liansheng: "I am old, and I can't plant in the future, the land is for you, it doesn't matter if you raise me and your mother, I can't starve to death if I go to ask for food, you must raise an adult in Donghuang, if I die, Donghuang can't be wronged with you, look forward to your daughter-in-law, if you let my child be wronged, I don't recognize you, you don't have to go to my grave in the future!" Many years later, the second aunt told Donghuang what her grandfather said, and Donghuang's tears were like springs, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife cut, and he deeply felt the pain of his son wanting to raise but not being treated.

"You have to study hard, our Zhuang family, what can you do if you don't study~~" Grandpa got up and touched Donghuang's head, and said dotingly.

Donghuang didn't get the joy of new clothes at all, since the land was planted by his parents, it was very inconvenient for grandparents to spend money, and the scattered expenses were easy to say, at that time they were almost self-sufficient, and they didn't spend much, but grandma has been taking medicine, since then, grandpa can break a penny into an eight-petal flower, go to ask his daughter-in-law for money, always have to suffer some white eyes and complaints, what four children go to school, buy medicine and fertilizer in the field, etc., cliché. Grandpa has to be strong all his life, and he can't listen to this kind of yin and yang weird words, so he really has no choice, so he secretly got some food and sold some money when his mother was not at home, just a pair of pants, I don't know how much grandpa suffered.

This new pants, Donghuang didn't want to wear them for a long time, folded neatly under the pillow, he was still in love with Cui Ruiying, who was in the first grade, and he couldn't walk at a glance, like he was obsessed, but he didn't deliberately go to a certain intersection to wait for her appearance, but devoted himself to studying. He decided not to read novels anymore, but after a while, he couldn't help but rent it again, but was discovered by Mr. Zhao, who had been staring at him, and called him to the office and beat him up, smashing a geometric wooden ruler alive.

Maintaining this state, Donghuang's grades rose rapidly, and the final exam of the second year of junior high school became the first in the age again, and it remained until the end of the high school entrance examination.
