Chapter Twenty-Three: Give It a Go

The nightmare I had last night has been haunting Ruchu, who packed her schoolbag and prepared to go to school. When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Wen Yuan, who was closing.

Although Ruchu and Wen Yuan live on the upper and lower floors of the same building, they have only met a handful of times on the way to school in the past six years. In order to be a competent knight, Wen Yuan would get up half an hour early every morning, take a detour to Hu Zheng's house to have breakfast with Hu Zheng, and go to school together.

Ruchu asked Wen Yuan curiously, "Why didn't you wait for Hu Zheng today?" Wen Yuan said helplessly, "She asked me to spend the time waiting for her to do a few more math problems", it turned out to be like this, as early as the beginning, I knew that only Hu Zheng could make the persistent Wen Yuan change his persistence.

The countdown to the college entrance examination is 30 days. In the first and second consecutive math classes, a large number of function synthesis problems made the students in a class exhausted. As soon as the Chinese teacher walked into the classroom, he saw that everyone was like a frosted eggplant, and the Chinese teacher said in order to cheer up the students, "Look at your listless appearance, how can you be like this?" You should be full of vitality at this age. ”

Originally, the arrangement of this class was to finish the last set of papers, and send another set to the students in the next class, but looking at the current mental state of the students, it is estimated that they will not listen to the teacher. So the teacher decided to send the papers to the students, so that the students could take them home and do it themselves, and the teacher would talk about the next set of papers, and this class would let the students go to the playground to relax in physical education class."

Hearing the Chinese teacher say that the physical education class was held, the originally listless students immediately came back to life. Since the third year of high school, the students have never taken physical education classes again, and they all rushed out of the classroom one by one, as if the Chinese teacher was about to change his mind if he walked slowly.

Wen Yuan, Yi Qiu and some other male classmates walked out of the classroom one after another with basketballs, Lele originally wanted to stay in the classroom and sleep on the table for a while, but Ruchu had to ask Lele to accompany her to the playground to play for a while, Ruchu said, "If you don't go out for a walk for a while, you will be integrated with your stool" Ruchu pulled Lele's arm tightly, as if he was afraid that Lele would run away.

As before, he pulled Lele and sat under a landscape tree not far from basketball. Lele looked at Ruchu's gaze that had been staying on the basketball court, and couldn't help but complain, "You said that you walked out of the classroom to here?" I've been watching it for almost three years, and I haven't seen enough? You look like you're in junior high school, right? That's six years since you watched it, and you don't have visual fatigue yet? ”

When he first heard Lele say this, he immediately subconsciously denied it, "Who said I was looking at him?"

Lele looked at Ruchu's panicked appearance, and said with a smile, "I haven't even said who it is, why are you so nervous?" was said by Lele, and Ruchu covered up very weakly and said, "How can I be nervous, there is nothing at all!" ”

Lele looked at Ruchu and still didn't admit it, and said, "Although you cover it up well, I still know that you like him, right?" We've only known each other for three years, but I know you as well as you know me. We all think that no one but us will know about our thoughts, but this is not the case. Wen Yuan is handsome and very sunny, he is the crush of many girls, you have been classmates since junior high school, and it is normal for you to like him. I'm a lot more relaxed knowing that you like him, because then I can be sure that you won't rob me of someone I like, and to be honest, if you're my rival, I'm really scared, and now I'm relieved. I know you're afraid that others will know your careful thoughts, and you're afraid of ruining the friendship between you, don't worry, I'll keep it secret for you" After speaking, Lele also raised his hand and made a zipper movement in front of his mouth.

When I first heard Lele say that he would keep a secret for himself, he looked at Lele gratefully. Then he asked Lele worriedly, "You said, besides you, no one else can see it, right?" Lele comforted and said, "I know you're afraid of someone to see it, don't worry, you hide it well, no one will see it except me" Hearing Lele say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good"

As she first looked at Wen Yuan, who was sweating and youthful on the playground, she suddenly wanted to stop time at this moment. In this way, they will not have the risk of separating after the college entrance examination. Ruchu watched Wen Yuan's every move, and thought to himself, this boy is what I like, I don't want to be separated from him, I want to stay by his side all the time, even if it's just a friend all the time.

In a few months, he will go to the United Kingdom, and he may not see Wen Yuan again for several years. That series of dreams appeared in Ruchu's mind. I always felt that if I really went to the UK, everything in my dreams would come true. Even if it weren't Hu Zheng who was with Wen Yuan in the future, there would be other girls, but that girl would definitely not be himself. I will only go further and further away from Wen Yuan. glanced at Wen Yuan, who was cheering with his teammates because he had made a three-point shot, and he had a decision again in his heart.

After school in the afternoon, the four of them walked home together, Lin Xuan asked Ruchu, "Have you arranged everything about going abroad?" What about accommodation? This has to be arranged in advance" Ruchu did not answer Lin Xuan's question, but said solemnly, "I have something I want to tell you"

The other three people all slowed down and waited to hear what Ruchu was about to say, Ruchu hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke, "I'm not going to the UK, I'm going to take the college entrance examination with you, I'll work harder from now on, do more questions, even if I can only take one general university at that time, it doesn't matter." ”

Ruchu's decision really shocked the other three people, and one second everyone was still worried about asking whether Ruchu had arranged accommodation in the UK, and the next second, the problem became completely non-existent

The three of them were silent for a long time, and none of them spoke, because they really didn't know what to say. After a while, Hu Zheng finally spoke, saying, "We know that you have your own ideas for making this decision, and we have always supported you. But from my point of view, I can't support you in this matter, you know, the opportunity to study abroad is not easy to come by, you have paid so much to apply to this school, I don't understand, why you should give up suddenly. Is something wrong? ”

As she said, "Nothing happened, I just suddenly didn't want to go, it has never been my dream to go abroad, I just want to study at a university in China safely, and find an ordinary job to support myself in the future."

Lin Xuan asked: "Then do your parents know about this decision?" ”

As at the beginning, he said, "I'm going to talk to them tonight"

Wen Yuan looked at Ruchu and said, "I think you better think about it, after all, this is a big deal, you have to discuss it with your parents, don't make a decision lightly"

As when I first returned home, my father had to work overtime so he hadn't come back yet. Ru's mother has already prepared a meal, Ruchu and Ru's mother went back to the room to do homework after eating, and Ru's father didn't come home from work until half past ten. Ruchu was very nervous, and didn't know how to tell his parents that in order to apply to go to the UK, his parents had paid so much energy, and now because of his willfulness, he wanted to make all this effort in vain, and Ruchu felt very guilty.

After hesitating again and again, Ruchu still told Ru Dad about his decision. As before, he hung his head and waited for the judgment of his parents. Ru's father was shocked for a while and asked Ruchu, "I have always felt that studying abroad is a good choice for you, when I told you this suggestion, you also agreed, in order to apply for XXX University, you paid so much yourself, and finally applied for it, and now you can't go, since how to go in the future is your own business, you have already decided that I can't say anything, but I still want to ask once, have you really decided to stay in China to take the college entrance examination?" If you don't pass the college entrance examination, can you bear the blow? ”

Ruchu looked at his father and said firmly, "I have really decided, I want to take the college entrance examination, even if I don't pass the college entrance examination, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to come back for another year." With my dear mom and dad by my side, there's nothing I can't accept."

The originally silent Ru mother comforted Ruchu and said, "Mom and Dad will always be by your side to accompany you and support you, don't worry, nothing is a big deal, isn't it just the college entrance examination, nothing to be afraid of, I didn't agree with it when your father asked you to go abroad at the beginning, a little girl, I am really not at ease when I am alone abroad." But I'm afraid that my thoughts will delay your future, and now that you have decided so, I support you." finally relaxed the tense nerves, and couldn't help but give Ru's mother a big hug and a kiss close to her face.

Ru's father looked at Ruchu's determined appearance, knowing that no matter what he said next, Ruchu would not change his mind. Originally, I wanted to persuade the original, but I thought about it and forget it. After all, if my father has been instilled with a saying since he was a child, "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren"

Ru's father wants to loudly express his support for her decision, but he is afraid that Ruchu's decision is wrong, and he will bear the impact of the wrong decision on her in the future. Think about it again and again, "Don't say it so early, everything will wait for the college entrance examination results to come out, if the college entrance examination results can allow you to go to a better school in China, I will agree, otherwise you still obediently go to XXX University for me, do you hear?" And when the time comes, you have to give me a reasonable reason for you to give up going abroad. ”

As before, I readily agreed to my father's request. Ruda's reaction this time was unexpected, Ruchu thought that Rudad would be very angry when he heard his wayward decision, but he didn't expect Rudad's reaction to be like this.

Ru's worst fears were finally resolved.

Now that I've decided not to go to XXX University, I have to study harder as before.

There are still three days left before the college entrance examination, and all the senior high school students have already gone home for the holidays. In addition to eating and sleeping at home, the rest of the time is intensifying revision. If my mother looked at the hard study at the beginning, the dark circles under her eyes were several degrees heavier and she said distressedly, "Don't study, this is the exam soon, the most important thing is to rest and relax, it's too late to study now"

Although there is no time, Ruchu still wants to hold on until the last second, saying, "I will pay attention to myself, I may be able to get one more point in the exam if I study a little more now." Since I promised my father, I must do it. Since you want to stay in China, you must work hard and work hard, and only with a good score can you live up to your parents' trust and support.

June 7th

Candidates hold their admission tickets, ID cards and stationery for the exam. The hot weather and the scorching sun made the sweat of every candidate flow from the forehead to the chin, and the parents who sent the test stood outside the school gate, telling them to answer the questions well and not to be nervous. The bell rang and the announcement was made on the radio that candidates were invited to enter the examination room. The candidates handed over the portable electric fans and mineral water in their hands to their parents, tightly pinched the various documents and stationery needed for the exam, and bravely entered the school gate with the expectations of their parents and teachers, and the blessings of relatives and friends. The first exam is about to begin.

As at the beginning, the provincial college entrance examination in their province took the national paper, and there were four exams in total. At 4:40 p.m. on June 8, the bell rang, the college entrance examination ended, and all candidates walked out of the examination room. It was only a few hundred meters from the examination room to the school gate, but it took several times longer than usual for the candidates to come out.

It was also the last time most students entered and exited the school as current students. The end of the college entrance examination means that adolescence is also over. In the next school season, the school that carries the memories of the candidates will welcome new students, but those students will not have them

Ruchu walked out of the school gate and saw his parents who were sweating and anxiously waiting, thinking about the hard work of his parents during this time, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, and regardless of the many people next to him, he suddenly rushed into the arms of Ru's mother, hugged Ru's mother and cried. Seeing her daughter like this, Ru's mother also shed tears. During the period of preparation for the college entrance examination, how much effort the family has put in is only known to the family who has experienced the college entrance examination. Not only is the first family like this, but other candidates' families look like this, and they also shed tears of their own family, which are moving, reluctant, excited and regretful.

Lin Xuan's parents also came back from other places in order to accompany their son in the college entrance examination, originally Lin Xuan said that he didn't need them to accompany him, but Lin's mother said, "Even if work is important, it is not as important as my son's college entrance examination." So they took a week out of their busy schedules to go home to accompany Lin Xuan for the college entrance examination. This is also the first time Ruchu has met Lin Xuan's parents. In their minds, the only impression of Lin Xuan's parents was Grandma Lin.

Lin Xuan's father said that after the college entrance examination, their family would go to celebrate, and after Lin Xuan said their agreement with Ruchu, Grandma Lin proposed that everyone celebrate together, and Lin Xuan told Grandma Lin's proposal to Ruchu and they all agreed. So after Lin Xuan also came out of the examination room, Hu Zheng drove to the pre-booked hotel with his mother and Ruchu's family, followed by Wenyuan and Lin Xuan.

In the largest private room of the XX Hotel, there are 12 people sitting around the table, which is composed of four families, such as Chu, Wenyuan, Hu Zheng and Lin Xuan are the four protagonists at this dinner table, and their respective parents are emotional sponsors at this dinner table. During the banquet, the "protagonists" talked and laughed, and the "sponsors" also enjoyed it, and with their joint efforts, they produced a youth documentary called celebrating the perfect end of the college entrance examination. The most important thing gained in six years of youth, in addition to knowledge, is this friendship. This friendship has allowed four unrelated teenagers and girls to have an uninterrupted friendship, so that the four strange families who were originally uninvolved can sit together and celebrate the same thing with laughter and laughter as they do now.
