Time flowed into the beginning of 1979, Tang Boqiang began to feel that the learning efficiency decreased significantly, it was always not easy to concentrate in class, and his memory felt much worse than before, and what was worse was that he wanted to sleep when he returned home and picked up the books. A huge ceiling was pressing down on him above his head, preventing him from going up another step.

Before the Spring Festival, Mr. Yi Mucai organized an essay contest in the graduating class, which was a proposition essay. Language has always been Tang Boqiang's strength, and propositional composition is even easier for Tang Boqiang. Tang Boqiang still clearly remembers that the title of this competition is "Climbing", Tang Boqiang, who is not in the state, can't grasp the topic at all, let alone write a good article, after the competition, out of the classroom, Tang Boqiang is also chaotic, he knows that this essay is not to mention winning awards, and he can't even talk about passing. Tang Boqiang's feeling is very right, the champion of the competition is Chen Quan, who is in the same class and has always had good Chinese scores.

Tang Boqiang's changes can't escape the perceptive eyes of Mr. Yi Mucai. After one school day, Mr. Yi left Tang Boqiang behind, and he was eager to know why his beloved apprentice had been in such a situation recently, which had never happened before.

The day after the essay competition, Mr. Yi asked Tang Boqiang to understand the situation, and Tang Boqiang also truthfully told the changes in the past few months, and Mr. Yi saw that Tang Boqiang's face was full of pain and confusion. He knows very well that this beloved disciple is a person who does not admit defeat easily, he has never worried that he is lazy and does not study, but the situation in front of him is indeed very grim, Tang Boqiang is obviously not in the state, what worries him even more is that Tang Boqiang also clearly knows that he is not in the state, and he is also making efforts to adjust, from Tang Boqiang's description, it seems that he has not yet come out of the trough. As the teacher who knows Tang Boqiang best, he can only see it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart. In addition to comforting Tang Boqiang to adjust slowly, what else could he do?

Time passed slowly, and the college entrance examination was getting closer and closer, but Tang Boqiang's condition showed no signs of improvement, and his family also discovered his problems, because Tang Boqiang, who has always been immersed in mathematics, physics and chemistry, recently found a bunch of novels from where to read. Yes, Tang Boqiang, who wanted to sleep as soon as he picked up the review materials at home, found a way to refresh himself: read novels. What "Lin Hai Snow Plain", "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", "World Literature Journal", etc., Tang Boqiang originally liked literature, but he was forced to put down the literature he had always liked when he had to choose one of the liberal arts and sciences in the college entrance examination. Fortunately, the goal in Tang Boqiang's heart is very clear, that is, the college entrance examination! As soon as he felt that he was in a good state, he immediately put down the novel and went into review, which was probably the best way for him at the moment.

In school review, as long as there is a teacher to take special tutorial classes, Tang Boqiang is very energetic, which may also be the reason why he can keep the first place in every mock exam. But once it turns to self-study, it is difficult for Tang Boqiang to concentrate for a long time, usually after persisting for ten or twenty minutes, he begins to wander or get sleepy, and his learning efficiency is greatly reduced. This situation made Tang Boqiang very painful, and he thought hard about how to get out of this predicament and who would help him get out of this predicament.

When he came home from school, Tang Boqiang unexpectedly saw his eldest brother. Since the eldest brother cut the queue to the nearby countryside, he rarely goes home at this time, and when he looks at the furnishings at home, it turns out that the elder brother has moved all the things in the countryside back, and it seems that he is no longer ready to go back to the countryside.

Sure enough, at lunchtime, I heard my brother say that the classmates in the countryside who had cut in line had returned, and everyone was reluctant to stay there, and they would rather go home and wait for the opportunity, or find a job, or take over the position of their parents, and taking the job is the most popular practice in Octagon Town, and many parents have retired early to give way to their children.

Looking at his silent mother, Tang Boqiang knew that she was thinking and making difficult choices, after all, her mother was in good health at this time, and there was no problem in continuing to work. Tang Boqiang suddenly understood something, yes, if his brother took his mother's position, the only thing left for him was his father's deteriorating unit, which was undoubtedly a blow to Tang Boqiang, and suddenly made him sober up, college, only going to college is the best way out for him. Thinking about his mistakes and absurdities in the past few months, he really wanted to slap himself a few times.

As the saying goes, "Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular". Approaching the college entrance examination, the qualification of the college entrance examination room of Bajiao Town Middle School was cancelled by the Municipal Education Bureau, which means that during the college entrance examination, all candidates in Bajiao Town must go to the first middle school in the county to take the exam. This caught the leaders, teachers, and students of Octagon Town Middle School off guard.

In order to ensure that students will not be affected by accommodation, food and other problems during the examination, the leaders of Bajiao Town Middle School have worked hard, and they have tried their best to contact everywhere.

The first is to settle down where the students live. The college entrance examination coincides with the hot summer, and it is best to have an electric fan in the residence, and at the same time, the accommodation must be able to meet the needs of these hundreds of students to live together. After repeatedly running between Bajiao Town and the county seat, the teacher finally chose the county party school not far from the county No. 1 Middle School as the place of residence, which is not far away, so that the students do not have to get up early in order to be in a hurry, and avoid all kinds of problems caused by the long-term burning in the hot summer; The key thing is that the students live in classrooms with electric fans, which ensures that the students sleep in the hot summer nights, and also ensures that they have enough energy for the next day's exam. The attentive teachers all made beds and hung up mosquito nets before the exam, which is really well-intentioned!

With so many people living together and it was a hot summer, eating was a big problem. How to ensure that everyone can eat well and eat cleanly, so that there will be no problems in eating, is another problem in front of school leaders and teachers. In the end, the school leaders agreed that the school headquarters would arrange a special chef and several school teachers to go to the party school to buy vegetables and cook for the students, and the school would be responsible for solving the expenses for these days.

After solving these key problems, the teachers of the graduating class put down their hearts and continued to review their homework for the students.

This is the first class of students in the top class of Bajiao Town Middle School established after the resumption of the college entrance examination to participate in the college entrance examination, the previous two years of the college entrance examination for the Bajiao Town Middle School was almost "annihilated", and this time the candidates are equivalent to the real test of the teaching level of the Bajiao Town Middle School. They represent the teaching ability and teacher ability of Bajiao Town Middle School, because of their importance, the leaders of Bajiao Town Middle School can be said to spare no effort and spare no money!
