Chapter Ninety-Three: Into Winter
Finally, as time passed, the leaves on the trees finally fell off alone, and the fallen leaves that had been fluttering in the school for a while did not know where they had gone, and a puff of dust began to drift on the empty playground, staining the few pine trees planted by the school next to the playground gray.
In order to cope with the upcoming four-star school inspection, but also to further improve the "excellent" school of Guangming Middle School and increase the "quality education" of students, the school began to dig an artificial island and add 20 new table tennis tables.
But one day, all of a sudden, these projects were stopped, the workers' container dormitories had not had time to move, and the excavators in the mud pit were still stopping the last digging action. Winter is coming, and it is no longer suitable for construction.
This small city in northern Jiangsu always announces the arrival of winter overnight, and the same is true for the arrival of summer, so people in small towns often say that their city only has two seasons. The Huai River, the geographical boundary between the north and south of China, passes not far from the small town, which is only a few millimeters away on the map of China, and the small city is classified as the north.
Sometimes I think about it, the impact of a river is really big. As it is said in the book, "orange is orange in Huainan, and orange is orange in Huaibei", which seems to be exactly what it means.
The weather forecast for the town the day before issued a cold wave forecast, but the next day it didn't feel much colder. Of course, inaccurate weather forecasts are also common.
But on this day, Lin Shanghan was still wearing a thin sweatshirt, but when he slept at night, he vaguely heard a strong wind outside the window beating violently on the window, and the window wailed for mercy, trying to block the cold wind out of the glass, so that the owner inside could sleep peacefully.
But even the double glazing can't stop the roar of the cold wind.
Lin Shanghan remembered that he had learned geography before, which was called Leng Feng.
When he got up the next day, Lin Shanghan felt a biting coldness as soon as he took off the quilt.
When her mother woke up Lin Shanghan, she specially told Lin Shanghan to wear more clothes when it was cold today.
But Lin Shanghan didn't take his mother's words seriously. Lin Shanghan can always wear less and will never wear more, in Lin Shanghan's own words, it is called "I would rather be frozen to death than be killed by heat." ”
But it turns out that Lin Shanghan should indeed wear a little more.
When riding to school in the morning, Lin Shanghan still habitually twisted the electric door of the moped all the way to the end, and then the cold wind swept across his cheeks, and Lin Shanghan felt that his face was frozen and a little painful. The cold wind is very good at finding loopholes, and quickly poured in from Lin Shanghan's cuffs, neck, ankles and other places that can run in, Lin Shanghan regretted a little that he should indeed listen to his mother.
Along the way, Lin Shanghan noticed that some people had already put up the wind shield in front of the moped, or some people began to take a thick dress to block the wind, and the girl who loved beauty couldn't wait to put on a beautiful scarf, it seemed that Lin Shanghan was the most unique one along the way.
The cold wind blew all the way to the carport, and Li Yixuan, who had just parked the car, also rushed over from behind.
It always happens that two people meet in the carport.
Lin Shanghan almost didn't recognize Li Yixuan in front of him. Li Yixuan wore a thick velvet hat, a scarf around it, a thick wind shield, and a pair of glasses to keep the wind out of her eyes.
Lin Shanghan asked in surprise: "You, do you need to block so tightly?" ”
Li Yixuan asked in surprise: "You, aren't you cold?" ”
The two men sighed, amused by each other's questions.
Lin Shanghan helped Li Yixuan hold the schoolbag, waiting for Li Yixuan to slowly unload the "equipment" on her body, and sighed secretly in her heart.
"It's not too cold, look at me."
"How can I compare with you, we girls are afraid of the cold, and we don't understand this."
"Ah, that's what it looks like." Lin Shanghan touched his head with understanding, and followed Li Yixuan to the classroom.
Now when he goes to the classroom, because of the change of location, Lin Shanghan no longer enters through the front door, so every time he walks to the front door, he has to separate from Li Yixuan.
Pushed the back door, but didn't push. With more force, the door was pushed open. Lin Shanghan looked down, and it turned out that the edge of the door was wrapped in a thick layer of paper by someone who didn't know to increase friction.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Lin Shanghan felt a wave of heat in the classroom.
To be honest, the taste was a bit unpleasant and a bit stuffy. But if you stay for a long time, you don't feel anything.
Lin Shanghan began to look at the people in the class carefully, except for a few fat people who were wearing thin clothes, everyone else was wearing more clothes, it seemed that Lin Shanghan was really a bit of an anomaly.
With the arrival of winter, there is also the college entrance examination that is getting closer and closer.
The time on the big screen in the garden outside was still decreasing day by day, and the huge number of seconds was also much less, and there were less than two hundred days left.
It seems that yesterday was still more than 300 days, as if the 100 days of time passed in the blink of an eye, as if time was playing a joke on me.
People always have these illusions, and it is always difficult for everyone to perceive the passage of time, but when I look back at the mountain-like test papers piled up in my desk and look at the questions I have done on them, I find that time has really passed day by day.
So some people began to complain, began to regret, complained that there was not much time, and regretted that they seemed to have not learned anything. Yes, time waits for no one, and things that seem to be far away are often just around the corner.
Lin Shanghan, like these people, has these illusions, but Lin Shanghan's heart is very firm. Lin Shanghan has always been a confident person, confident that he has studied well and that he will do well in the exam.
These self-confidence are more than just self-confidence.
At this time, some people began to change their various flags. Just like the college entrance examination goals posted outside the classroom, those expected universities in their hearts were shot down and smashed in exams again and again, and began to realize that these can only be goals, and they are far from reaching them, so the expected universities began to slowly decrease, until they were lowered to a very low level to comfort themselves.
Those who used to sing "I'm going to XX University" may no longer jump vertically. Some of the people who have given up have begun to prepare to go to various junior colleges, these people are deserters from the college entrance examination, and there are many of them who have come to the stage to shout adults.
Dreams are always shattered before reality.
Looking below, there is the city model exam that is coming for the New Year, and there are various joint examinations between schools. The frequency of exams has also changed from the initial small-scale bombing to carpet bombing, and there are not many days left for those stable revisions.
Next, it's time to run.
