There have always been regulations in the county No. 1 middle school, but all candidates who apply for the county No. 1 middle school must take the exam in the county No. 1 middle school, which is not difficult for Zeng Fan. Zeng Fan has a distant aunt who lives near the county No. 1 Middle School, and it just so happened that she was going to Xining to do business recently, so the house was vacant and happened to be for Zeng Fan to live in.

Zeng Fan's aunt was married to a Hui man, and he was also an excellent talker, and as soon as Zeng's father said that he would borrow a house, he readily agreed.

Before leaving, Grandma Zeng Fan kept nagging, saying that the Hui people were not credible, they were extremely cruel people, and they liked to kill people the most, but they cut a lot of Han people with knives back then. In this regard, Zeng Fan's father and son could only laugh.

Zeng Fan listened to no less than ten stories about the Great War of the Hui Han Dynasty told by his grandmother, and the most heard was that the army of the northwest warlord Ma Bufang was driven down the Yellow River by the People's Liberation Army, and the rest of the fleeing team passed through Zeng Fan's grandmother's house and snatched a few eggs from the family. But even these poor defeated soldiers were executed by the PLA in a nearby river bay not far after a short time.

Zeng Fan knew that his Hui brother-in-law was definitely not a cruel person, on the contrary, he was an extremely elegant person, and his home had a collection of many precious tea leaves and various blue and white porcelain teacups for drinking tea. Zeng Fan went to his house as a guest when he was a child, and his uncle-in-law invited him to taste tea, and then asked him how it tasted. Zeng Fan really couldn't make a name for himself, so he had to tell the truth. The uncle-in-law smiled heartily and said that he was really an honest child. Even when his great-father joked in front of him that he wanted to eat the big meat noodles he made, he didn't care, and just killed his opponent on the chessboard for two games.

Zeng Fan stayed at his uncle's house two days before the high school entrance examination, and his great-father took Zeng Fan to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, while telling Zeng Fan about his glorious past with the county No. 1 Middle School, but Zeng Fan would rather go to visit his uncle's garden.

Zeng Fan's uncle's house covers an extremely wide area, the yard is full of fruit trees and flowers, at this time the moon season is blooming vigorously, the elegant fragrance of flowers overflows, it is simply unforgettable. The backyard has been a big fish tank, there are lotus flowers in it, but there is no rain, probably because the owner is worried that no one will feed them, so he entrusted them to someone. There was a row of cherry trees in the corner, and when he saw the cherry trees, Zeng Fan finally had a sense of pride in his heart, and thought: This cherry tree is not as big as my family. Looking at this paradise-like place, Zeng Fan admired his uncle-in-law even more.

The day before the high school entrance examination, Zeng's father accompanied Zeng Fan to the county No. 1 middle school to familiarize himself with the examination room. With the admission ticket and referring to the floor plan of the examination room posted by the school, Zeng Fan easily found his examination room. Before leaving, Zeng Fan saw a familiar figure, which turned out to be Shen Bingjie.

Shen Bingjie stood up in front of Zeng Fan and asked him what the number of examination rooms he was, Zeng Fan told him truthfully, and she said with regret: "It's a pity that we are not an examination room." After speaking, she found that there was another person next to Zeng Fan, and she probably guessed who it was, and she couldn't help but blush.

Because Zeng Fan was by his side, Zeng Fan didn't say anything, but just pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, it's a pity...... Well, I wish you a good grade. ”

"Well, you too, I hope we can see you again in Yizhong then."

After leaving in a hurry, for some reason, Zeng Fan always felt uneasy.

Gu Ming also came to take the first middle school exam, but he hadn't seen it so far, and he didn't know where he lived alone. Lin Yulan...... Lin Yulan also came, and just now she met Jiang Huilin, saying that she had seen Lin Yulan, and it was not far from where she lived. What about Liu Yue? Liu Yue...... Thinking of Liu Yue, Zeng Fan's psychology jumped suddenly, and the assassin finally realized that the reason why he was restless was that he had not seen Liu Yue, but he immediately comforted himself: "How can it be because of her, An Xue also came to take the first middle school exam, yes, it must be because of An Xue herself." ”

On the day of the high school entrance examination, Zeng Fan's father and son Zhao Li got up at half past six and finished washing, and the streets were already full of people at seven o'clock. Zeng Fan father and son each ate a bowl of dandan noodles with an egg in the street stall, the two went to climb Renshou Mountain not far away, although the mountain is not high, it still takes a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain, Zeng Fan father and son climbed halfway to return, when they arrived at the school, there was still half an hour before the exam time at 9 o'clock. In the three days of the high school entrance examination, Zeng Fan basically spent it like this.

The questions in the high school entrance examination are far simpler than the usual exam questions, and Zeng Fan answered them quite easily. Seeing Zeng Fan's relaxed expression, Zeng's father finally put his mind at ease.

It didn't take long for the results of the high school entrance examination to come out, although Zeng Fan exceeded the admission score line of the county No. 1 middle school by several points, but the results were not ideal, among all the candidates who took the No. 1 middle school examination in Shanhe Middle School, Zeng Fan was only ranked after the middle school, and it was even more impossible to go to the Longyuan class.

Longyuan class is a class sponsored by the famous local Longyuan real estate company, and the students who enter the Longyuan class are all responsible for their tuition fees by the Longyuan company, and there are scholarships to get, and the substitute teacher of the Longyuan class is also the most experienced teacher in the school. It's just that the Longyuan class only selects the top 50 in the whole school exam for admission, and Zeng Fan must be hopeless for admission.

At that time, Zeng Fan didn't feel anything except a little loss, but for a long time later, he regretted it greatly, but it was not for tuition.

Gu Ming, Liu Yue, An Xue, Shen Bingjie, and Jiang Huilin were all admitted to the county No. 1 middle school without any thrills, and An Xue had the best test, and almost entered the Longyuan class. Although Lin Yulan was admitted, she took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go to school in the county No. 1 middle school. Later, Zeng Fan learned that the child of a relative of Lin Yulan failed to be admitted to any high school, and the score of repetition could not be reached, and finally Lin Yulan went back to Shanhe Middle School to go to high school, and that person got the opportunity to repeat in Shanhe Middle School.

Ma Tao, Li Dabiao, and Jiang Jianguo were all admitted to high school, and the three of them agreed to go to Beijing to work together. Wang Ting was admitted to Shanhe Middle School, but at the county train station, when she was about to step on a train to Beijing, she was caught by her father. Later, Zeng Fan met Liu Jianxiong, who had been seriously wealthy, and heard him say that he had seen Jiang Jianguo and Wang Ting in Shenzhen, but Zeng Fan knew that Liu Jianxiong had never been reliable, and he didn't know how credible what he said.
