The few days off of "Eleventh" will soon be over, and it is a pity that I didn't see the sketch Zhang Mian.

During the vacation, Zhang Mian's father asked Zhang Mian about his studies in Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, Zhang Mian hesitated for a while and still said truthfully, his father was silent for a moment or encouraged Zhang Mian not to be discouraged, at this moment he felt that there was a complicated look in his father's eyes.

"Trembling, trembling, tomorrow will be a nest." When he was a child, when Zhang Mian neglected his studies or his grades were not satisfactory, Zhang Mian's father would tell the story of "Cold Bird", if Zhang Mian didn't care about it, his father would make up "Winter is coming, and the Cold Bird froze to death on the tree because it didn't have a nest, and it was frozen hard, and the chopsticks couldn't be poked." ”

Zhang Mian will laugh after hearing this, because when he was a child, Zhang Mian once pulled a piece of in the icy and snowy field, and a few days later found that this piece of was frozen just like what his father said, every time Zhang Mian's father told the story of the "cold bird", Zhang Mian couldn't help but think of what the scene would be when he poked this piece of with a pair of chopsticks in the vast field, which was not only ridiculous but also disgusting.

This sad negative teaching material made Zhang Mian listen to it into a comedic effect.

After Zhang Mian went to junior high school in Zhangjia Village, his father did not care much about Zhang Mian's studies because he had worked in Fengcheng for many years, and Zhang Mian obviously felt that his father had deep guilt for Zhang Mian in this regard.

No matter what books and materials Zhang Mian wanted during that period, his father would buy them for him no matter what the price was. In Zhang Mian's impression, the most expensive is a pillow-sized cihai, priced at more than 100 yuan, at that time, his father's salary was less than 100 yuan a month, his father solemnly wrote a message of encouragement on the title page of the book, Zhang Mian not only put it away after getting the book.

Zhang Mian's father was a strong man, he was depressed for a long time after returning from Fengcheng and regained his strength, he hoped that Zhang Mian could get out of Zhangjia Village by taking the university entrance examination, which was also the only feasible way out at that time.

After Zhang Mian failed in the high school entrance examination, he immediately arranged Zhang Mian to Gaojiacun Middle School, and the year in Gaojiacun was also a year of Zhang Mian's transformation, and his father was very pleased with the change in his attitude towards learning this year.

But with the addition of two months of summer vacation, just three months later, Zhang Mian seems to have returned to the state before going to Gaojiacun Middle School, so Zhang Mian's father's eyes are very complicated, and he hopes more that this is just that Zhang Mian has not yet adapted to the rhythm of Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School.

In the face of the vast unknown future, the always decisive father can't give himself a positive answer.

On the afternoon of returning to Fengcheng, Zhang Mian refused Cao Xiaoshan's proposal to go back together, he hoped to meet the swallow again at the station when he left, until the afternoon the car had gone two shifts, and the swallow still did not appear at the intersection of the village, Zhang Mian only got into the car to Fengcheng, and when the car started, he felt unprecedented loss.

In fact, he wanted to go to Yanzi's house to find Yanzi, Yanzi's father and Zhang Mian's parents were both high school classmates, which Zhang Mian learned from a casual conversation between them, but the two of them basically had no contact.

Zhang Mian didn't have that courage, and even when Yanzi sat next to him, he didn't use it to look her in the eye.

Love is as low as it is.

There were old songs on the car back to the city, and the car drove from Zhangjia Village to Fengcheng in the company of the setting sun, and Zhang Mian fell asleep in the car.

Back in the small courtyard of Fengcheng, Su Dong had already returned, and he came back with the beriberi he was familiar with.

"When did you arrive?" Pushing the door in, the evening sun fell on Su Dong's smiling face, and Zhang Mian saw his thick inverted eyebrows, and his mood was much better.

"I've just arrived, too." Su Dong raised his head and smiled, still holding a math book in his hand.

Seeing the book in Su Dong's hand, Zhang Mian was very ashamed, put down his backpack, and put the books in his backpack that he hadn't read during the entire "Eleventh" period to the desk.

"Let's go, please eat." After saying that, Zhang Mian took the basin and went out to fetch water to wash his face, to Zhang Mian's surprise, the opposite door was open, just between Zhang Mian's trance, the "acne girl" also took the basin to fetch water, and the distance between the doors was only three meters, after they each stepped out of one meter, Zhang Mian clearly saw that there was a "acne" on the face of the "acne girl" There was a pus head that was about to break the skin, "Alas, mom", Zhang Mian was so frightened that he almost threw the basin in his hand, and he was not sleepy without washing his face.

If this girl really became Su Dong's girlfriend, she helped Su Dong pick her feet, and Su Dong helped her squeeze the "acne", which is probably pretty good.

After fetching the water, Zhang Mian didn't dare to tell Su Dong this idea this time, it is estimated that he will not go after telling Su Dong that Zhang Mian is a treat, although he is a person who usually smiles, the more he starts a fire like this, the more impact and explosiveness he has.

When she arrived at the "Fan Restaurant", the female boss was very enthusiastic when she saw Su Dong, and she couldn't wait to hold him in her arms and recognize him as her godson.

Zhang Mian ordered a few dishes, asked for two bottles of beer, and halfway through the dishes, the two looked at each other and remembered a person together: Gazi.

It stands to reason that tomorrow will be in class, and Gazi should also go back to school today, and he has not been seen in the "fan restaurant" during this time period, only two situations: one may be that he will come by morning bus tomorrow morning, and the other may be that he is on his way here.

One person has a bottle of beer, Zhang Mian's face is also red and his belly is red, the chemistry teacher said that people who drink alcohol and blush are because the body lacks enzymes to relieve alcohol, Zhang Mian is very disappointed at this point, as a quasi-poet, it is basically expensive to drink alcohol, and a hundred poems about fighting wine cannot be realized.

Su Dong's face was as usual because of his own hangover enzymes, but it was a pity for those enzymes, he was a person who didn't read poetry, let alone write poetry.

Zhang Mian and Su Dong watched TV for a while in the "fan restaurant" and went back, when they were about to walk to the "glasses man" store, Zhang Mian glanced at the barbecue stall by the toilet and saw that Su Dong's footsteps were tilting towards the barbecue stall.

Su Dong really doesn't have many shortcomings, except for foot odor, there is another disadvantage that is not a disadvantage, that is, excessive economy for others. So far, he has not invited Zhang Mian to eat once, not to mention the thin chicken wings of five pieces for the time being, he has not even invited five cents a piece of baked cakes.

Even if Su Dong is so economical to others, Zhang Mian feels that he is better than Cao Xiaoshan in one point, and Cao Xiaoshan doesn't invite Zhang Mian, after all, he really has no money, but he always writes blank checks in front of Zhang Mian, which makes Zhang Mian feel completely unnecessary, Zhang Mian will keep the people he wants to be grateful to in his heart and return it when he has the ability.

On the way back from Yue Youhua's house after eating beef soup, Cao Xiaoshan said to the moon or the endless gloomy sky countless times.

"Zhang Xuan, when I have money in the future, I will invite you to eat beef soup every day, you can drink as many bowls as you want, can you trust it?"

If Zhang Mu didn't speak, he stared at Zhang Mu's eyes and said again.

"Gou Fugui, don't forget! I do what I say. ”

Zhang Mian looked at him at that moment, and his sincere eyes had no choice but to believe it.

Back in the rented courtyard, the moonlight was hazy, Su Dong's girlfriend, oh, no, the door of the "pox girl" was closed, Zhang Mian really wanted to knock on the door and measure the scale of her wooden stick that arrived at the door, and the next time he went back, he would measure the scale of his grandmother's wooden stick at the door, if the scale was basically the same, it would be a relative of his grandmother's mother's family.

Although Zhang Mian's junior high school biology is not good, Zhang Mian can also determine that this is a familial genetic behavior.

Su Dong lay on the bed and read a book, and Zhang Mian read poetry for a while after lying down, always feeling absent-minded.

When they were in Gaojia Village, Zhang Mian and Hu Dong slept in a hut with a few plantain trees outside the courtyard; Now he and Su Dong live in a hut, and only Lang Lang night is left outside the courtyard.

A few months later, he really missed the years in Gaojiacun, and missed the tall boy Hu Dong who liked to put his hands in his pockets and was everywhere in Gaojiacun Middle School.

Every time there is this kind of anxiety or loss, it is basically facing the unknown or major things in the future, although Zhang Mian has failed in his heart in this monthly exam, he still has a glimmer of hope, it is because of this glimmer of hope that he is restless.

"How did you do in your monthly exam?" Zhang Mian asked Su Dong that this was the first time they had discussed the monthly exam since the end of the monthly exam.

"It's okay." Su Dong put down the book and returned lightly.

"Oh." Zhang Mian is a response, he is not very satisfied with Su Dong's answer, if Su Dong's answer is not good or not very good, it can bring him some comfort, this sentence is okay, obviously there is a taste of modesty.

Zhang Mian didn't know why he cared so much about grades.

Three days later, the results of each class have come out, Zhang Mian's Chinese test scored 104 points, should be in the top ten in the class, and the other grades are miserable.

Su Dong's grades in all classes are above average, mathematics is surprisingly the first in the class, Zhang Mian knew that he was good at mathematics, but he didn't expect it to be so good, when the mathematics results were announced, care and Yue Cuirong's surprised mouth could stuff a duck egg.

Together with Ye Man, who lived in a small courtyard, he usually saw the dragon and didn't see the end, so he turned around and glanced at Su Dong meaningfully.

When the eyes of focus were on Su Dong's face, Zhang Mian, as his current roommate and tablemate, was more bitter than happy for him.

During the class meeting on Friday, the head teacher, Mr. Dai, took a roll call list and wore a suit into the classroom, and all the students in the classroom were silent, everyone knew that today was the time to announce the total results of the first monthly exam.

"The results of this monthly exam have come down, I only read the top 30 in class, and I posted the ranking of grades and seats in the class after class, and I posted them on the wall after class, everyone had time to take a look, and those who had objections to the results and seats came to the office to find me after class."

"First place: Yue Bao,...... No. 9: Su Dong...... The sixteenth place Gazi ......" Zhang Mian listened to Teacher Dai reading the rankings, and the students who read it were not reserved and grinned with their teeth.

After class, Zhang Mian squeezed behind the crowd, and finally found his ranking of 78 in a string of names and numbers, and there were 89 people in the class.

The results of the first monthly exam, Zhang Mian ranked eleventh from the bottom of the class.
