Volume 1 The Year of Confusion Chapter 5 The First Entrance Examination, Re-ranking, and the Battle for Position

In a flash, it's time for the small weekly exam, the time is set for Friday, and there will be a holiday after the exam. For Xiaofeng, such an exam is just a drizzle, because after all, it is the first year of junior high school, and the content of the exam will not be too difficult, so when he was reviewing, he patronized and danced with Wei Wei at the same table, and he didn't put his mind on revision at all.

In the process of contact, Xiaofeng learned that the girl lived in the cadre compound behind his house, her grandfather used to be the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and in the 90s, the public unit was divided into houses, and his family was assigned a unit house close to the city, and her grandfather was not happy at that time, because the concept of people at that time was basically that the closer to the city, the better. It is said that 'thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi', but it has not yet been thirty years, and the house on the edge of the city has become a "school district house", and her grandfather was ridiculed by other uncles in the compound because of this. Wei Wei's father now runs a cafeteria in the city, which can be regarded as a brave trend, because buffets have just begun to rise in the past 10 years, and in this small city, there are basically no cafeterias. The family environment is an important factor that affects a person's growth, which is why Wei Wei dresses more fashionably in the class.

Compared with Wei Wei, Xiaofeng feels that he is an authentic turtle. When Xiaofeng's grandfather was young, he worked as a car soldier in Golmud for several years, and then returned to the countryside to farm after his military service, and when he was herding cattle, he met a beautiful girl in Zhangjiawan on the other side of the river, and this girl surnamed Zhang was Xiaofeng's grandmother. Xiaofeng's father was also a farmer, but he married a daughter-in-law who was unwilling to be a farmer for the rest of his life. With the beginning of "going to the sea", seeing that the tide makers who bravely stood at the head of the tide made a lot of money, people like Xiaofeng's mother also went south to enter the factory with the wave of migrant workers, but because the culture was too low and the mind was not flexible enough, they could only work as cheap labor in the factory and were cut leeks by the "tide makers". Later, those who could persevere stayed in the factory to help others "cut leeks", and those who couldn't bear it were naturally eliminated by the market, such as Xiaofeng's mother. Xiaofeng's father was not accustomed to the water and soil, Xiaofeng's mother went home a year, and after returning home, considering that the future days would have to live, he worshiped a master to learn to repair semiconductors and electrical appliances. Overall, Xiaofeng, who was born as a farmer, can be regarded as a good seedling.

Because of his family background, Xiaofeng naturally has an inferiority complex, which is not the impact of cultural cognition, but only because of the psychological imbalance caused by the difference in material conditions. But the strange thing is that the difference in material conditions between the opposite sex does not have too much psychological barrier, but sometimes they are attracted by the charm of the other party's personality and gradually develop a good feeling, perhaps because they are too young and have not been affected by too many secular things.

The relationship between Xiaofeng and Wei Wei is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the homework they have left behind is getting more and more day by day, and finally all this evil consequences have finally come.

Because it is a small weekly test, there is no placement test, and even the position has not changed. Each subject is invigilated by teachers of different subjects, and due to the uneven invigilation of each teacher, it also causes the similarity of students' answers to be uneven. After the exam, there was even a joke that someone wrote someone else's name on their answer sheet in the political subject exam, and although in the end the person concerned was "pardoned" by the dean and teacher in the name of the first offender, their deeds were widely circulated on campus, which is a later story.

Most people are always like this, talking about other people's troubles without shame, even if they are the same as others. When someone exposed their shortcomings, they glared at them, played tricks, and said that they were not as stupid as the people who were out of trouble and that they had not been caught. In their cognition, as long as it has not been officially announced, it has not been done; As long as you don't get caught, even a well-known secret is a "secret".

When he went home from the holiday on Friday, Xiaofeng was still a little apprehensive in his heart, for him, he would definitely fail the exam this time. In addition to the difficulty of the paper, Xiaofeng also had to take special care of Wei Wei next to him, leaving Xiaofeng with little time to think and do the questions. If you think about it, the worst subject I did was geography, and when I answered the questions and answers at the end, I basically answered them by feeling, and I didn't have time to think.

And Xiaofeng wondered most about Wei Wei, the family environment is so good, why is her academic performance so poor?

······

Pleasant holidays are always short-lived. Since school has just started, there is not much homework during the holidays, and the first day of the holiday is basically done. Then the daily schedule is to eat, sleep, and watch TV, so I spent the weekend in a muddy and free way.

The day of returning to school came, and under his mother's instructions, Xiaofeng packed up the things that he should prepare for the week and set off. I don't know why, every time I go to school, there is a sense of strangeness, like two people who are familiar with each other, always maintaining an appropriate distance, both cordial and polite,.

Because it was a Monday, there were more people at the school. Xiaofeng chose to enter the school through the back gate of the school, and happened to meet his classmate Wei Yudu. Because they are roommates, Xiaofeng and Wei Yudu are also under the same roof, so there are quite a lot of intersections. In the process of contact, Xiaofeng found that although Wei Yudu did not have any opinions, his nature was still not bad, and he was also very generous. Naturally, Xiaofeng became friends with him, and although he couldn't talk about deep friendship, he was not bad.

"Xiaofeng, how did you do in the exam last week?" Wei Yudu and Xiaofeng said as they walked.

"That's it, the exam is not ideal, especially the geography questions, which are basically scribbled" Xiaofeng himself doesn't know, whether this is being modest or telling the truth.

"Fortunately, someone passed me a note on the exam last week, otherwise it would be over" Wei Yudu said with this show off on his face, in his opinion, it is a very honorable thing to copy the answer, which means that he is popular.

"I'm not so lucky, I not only have to write it myself, but also show it to the people next to me, alas, they are all classmates, and I feel that I can't get by if I don't show her." In fact, what is the difference between Xiaofeng's approach and Wei Yudu? If "Wei Yudu" is the one who kills people, then "Xiaofeng" is the one who knows that he wants to kill people and lends him a knife.

"Do you like Wei Wei next to you, who takes care of others so much during the exam." Wei Yudu stared at Xiaofeng half-mockingly.

"How is it possible, no, no"

······

Before I knew it, I arrived at the school, Xiaofeng and Wei Yudu went back to the dormitory to put down their things, and then went straight to the classroom. They're all busy with one thing - copying homework.

As soon as she sat down, Wei Wei leaned over, "Xiaofeng, can you show me your math homework?" I don't know how to write a few questions! ","Uh·· All right! "Xiaofeng usually chats with Wei Wei without that kind of embarrassing feeling, but today because he was ridiculed by Wei Yudu, Xiaofeng didn't dare to look at Wei Wei directly, as the saying goes: I didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Xiaofeng asked himself, he hadn't had the kind of thought that Wei Yudu said before, why did he feel guilty? In fact, there are two sources of this feeling, one is Wei Yudu's words and the other is from Xiaofeng's inferiority complex, how can he feel that he can be in a relationship with such a girl? In addition to his own character and learning, everything else is not as good as Wei Wei, and it is this kind of ideological "sense of hierarchy" that makes Xiaofeng lack self-confidence. Take 10,000 steps back and say, what if you like it, isn't it natural to like people who have a good impression or male courtship? But at this time, Xiaofeng only fell into the whirlpool of the first two factors, and did not think of more.

Ding~Ding~Ding~

The class bell finally rang, and now only class can pull Xiaofeng back from this cranky thinking.

The old man had a gloomy face, his hands behind his back, a transcript between his fingers, and he walked up to the podium slowly, looking at the students below, the interested students had stopped talking, only the few "bandit leaders" (naughty and mischievous people) were still giggling.

Xiaofeng feels that today's day is a bit wrong, when he first came, the sky was still clear, and there will be a lot of mountain rain to come and the wind will fill the building, and the swishing cool breeze hangs on the people's straight hair, and it stands to reason that it will be difficult to have strong winds after August. Xiao Feng wrapped the clothes on his body tighter.

"I talk every day, but I don't listen every day." The old man finally spoke, "This time I will only talk about two points", the old man put down the transcript in his hand, "First, about the problem of copying homework in the exam, some people, you can copy it, and even other people's names are copied", "Hahahahaha" The whole class burst into laughter, Xiaofeng didn't laugh, and he couldn't laugh, because he copied Wei Wei, he didn't know if that person was Wei Wei, if so, those two people would be punished. "Laugh?" The old man sneered, "Don't take this as a child's play, this school is going to give a warning, and when the time comes, your graduation file will have this black spot, which will affect you for a lifetime." The laughter in the audience came to an abrupt end. "The second point is the grades, although the results this time are just an admission survey, but you also have to let go of your attitude. Some people don't review carefully before reviewing, talk in class, and giggle with their tablemates, but what is the result? The old man paused and stared at Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng felt a chill behind him, "Okay, let's start reading the results now, everyone according to 123·· In this order, find your new seat in turn."

Xiaofeng ranked fifteenth this time, and because there was not much difference between his grades and Wei Wei's, he sat together again, and the students who sat in front of him last time were now sitting in the last row because of the decline in their grades.

After all, the rain still fell, and the dense raindrops drenched the people who didn't bring umbrellas into soup chickens, and the people with umbrellas were naturally so calm.

"Teacher Wen, I'm short-sighted, I can't see the blackboard when I sit in the last row, I want to change the position", a girl sitting in the back stood up, with a goose egg face and double ponytails, looking neat and soo. "Li Yi!" The old man suddenly raised his voice, "Why don't you have glasses if your eyes are not good?" Li Yi looked at the old man with an arrogant look, "Wearing glasses is not good for my eyes, and my parents won't let me bring them." "This test score is something to evaluate everyone's learning results, if you are special, is it unfair to other students? The old man saw that she was a girl and suppressed his anger. But Li Yi still didn't know how to study, "Wherever you sit well, you study well, can't you take care of our myopic classmates?" The classmates were shocked, this person who usually seems to be very easy to get along with, how can he look like this today, "Okay, you want to take care of you, move your table to the front of the lectern, and sit next to the podium" The old man was also a little angry.

In the end, Li Yi "got his wish" and enjoyed special care, and the old man also suppressed some people who were eager to try "behind" Li Yi.

For Xiaofeng, although he did not do well in the exam this time, he believes that it is all caused by himself. Since you have come here to study, it means that you have accepted other people's rules and regulations, so you have to abide by the rules, talk about things first and then do not mess up, there is no need to play tricks and make noise. For Li Yi, this is her legitimate demand, not to mention it, the last person to suffer is herself. In the face of rules and personal interests, it is really the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, and there is no only such statement.
