Chapter 108: The Loquat Tree

"I hope I think too much...... Zhang Fan retracted his mind and thought carefully about the theme word "tree".

Trees can be associated with topics such as environmental protection or the natural world, and the topic is very broad but not easy to write, and it is difficult to write originally.

Zhang Fan's first thought was a poem "Xiang Zhi Xuanzhi" that he had learned in a Chinese textbook, and the last sentence of this prose was "There is a loquat tree in the court, and it was planted by my wife in the year of her death, and now it is like a pavilion."

When he first read this text when he was a student, Zhang Fan only saw obscure and difficult words, and he could not feel the loneliness in the author's heart and his longing for his relatives. But now, when Zhang Fan reads this prose again, he is moved by the author's sincere and simple feelings, especially the last sentence in the article, "The hand planted by my wife in the year of her death is now as slim as a cover."

When my wife died, I planted this loquat tree, and now it's thriving.

The picture sense of this text is too strong, directly pulling a living soul into this story, and then shrinking the scene, as if people are standing next to the tall pipa tree, the sense of tragedy and grandeur is brought out in an instant, making people have no escape, they can only be poured into their hearts.

"Trees, so that time has a dimension, so that thoughts become countable."

Zhang Fan wrote this line calmly, and his heart had already been integrated into "Xiang Zhixuan Zhi".

"Well, I'll write about you."

Zhang Fan had no other superfluous thoughts, he felt like a return to the light, and he redescribed the story of "Xiang Zhixuan Zhi" with his own experience.

……

The clock on the wall was ticking, and only the friction of the tip of the pen touching the paper could be heard in the examination room.

Ding Ding Ding!

The bell rang, the hour hand stopped at 10 o'clock, and the first round of rematch ended.

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, the results of the first round will be posted on the bulletin board on the first floor of Shaw Building, I hope you will pay attention. The second round is between three and five o'clock. ”

After the staff of the competition informed the precautions, everyone walked out of the examination room in turn, and many people went straight to the first floor of Shaw Building, wanting to know the results of the competition for the first time.

Zhang Fan, Zhang Mengmeng, Wang Shihan and Guo Kang successfully met with Mr. Kangda.

"Let's go, let's find a place to eat, and talk while eating." Conda Road.

After Zhang Fan walked out of the examination room, he noticed that Guo Kang had been smiling, which seemed to be different from the taciturn him before.

And Zhang Mengmeng kept frowning, with a thoughtful expression.

The little devil queen Shihan was still chatting with Zhang Fan heartlessly, and the two walked side by side.

"Look at your squad leader, didn't you write it well in the first round? Why did you have a sad face as soon as you came out. Wang Shihan said.

Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I think Zhang Mengmeng should be able to pass the first round." ”

"What about me?"

"You?" Zhang Fan turned his head to look at the little witch beside him with red lips and white teeth, "I don't know about this." ”

"Zhang Fan, you...... Hum! Wang Shihan snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to Zhang Fan.

At the dinner table, Mr. Kangda talked about the first round of topics, and everyone also said what they had written.

Guo Kang wrote a science fiction environmental protection article, although the idea is not new, but the victory is in the genre selection, which is well received by Kangda teachers.

Zhang Mengmeng writes about the saplings that survive and grow in the cracks, and talks about hard work, but it is also decent.

Wang Shihan wrote about the roadside tree, sticking to his post for ten years, talking about responsibility.

At present, it seems that Guo Kang is the most likely to enter the next round.

"Zhang Fan, what did you write?" Kangda asked, what he was looking forward to the most was Zhang Fan's article, and the others couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in their hands and look at Zhang Fan.

"The tree in Xiang Zhi Xuan Zhi." Zhang Fan took a bite of rice.

Except for Kangda, the rest of the people looked at each other, none of them had heard of it.

Kangda groaned and said, "There is a loquat tree in the court, and the hand planted it in the year of my wife's death is now like a cover." That's what you wrote? ”

Zhang Fan replied: "Hmm." ”

"How is it written? What is written? Kangda naturally understood what this prose was about, but he didn't understand which direction Zhang Fan wrote it from.

Zhang Fan said lightly: "I translated this prose in the vernacular. ”

"Translation?" Kangda was puzzled.

"How to say this, it's my own association plus some scenes of the original text." Zhang Fan said

Kangda nodded, but it is impossible to determine whether Zhang Fan's writing is good or bad, and judging from the feelings on paper, Guo Kang still has more hope of being promoted.

After eating, everyone returned to the Shaw Building, it was not twelve o'clock, but the bulletin board on the first floor was already full of people.

"Zhang Fan, come over here." During the break, Zhang Mengmeng found Zhang Fan.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan could see that this little girl was talking to herself.

The two walked to a shady corner.

"Actually, I knew the topic of today's first round yesterday." Zhang Mengmeng lowered her head and didn't look at Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan was a little surprised, but he was relieved when he thought of the person who sold the question yesterday.

"Did you buy the question?"

Zhang Mengmeng raised her head suspiciously, and said, "What is the question of buying?" It was Guo Kang who told me. ”

"Guo Kang?" Zhang Fan thought of Guo Kang's performance in the examination room in the morning, and it seemed to be a bit consistent.

Zhang Mengmeng's eyes looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about things: "Yesterday after we returned to the hotel after watching the examination room, he came to me, he said that today's topic will be some flowers and trees or something, I laughed at him at the time, I thought it would not be so simple, but I didn't expect to be guessed by him." ”

"So what do you think? Why are you telling me about this now? Zhang Fan asked.

Zhang Mengmeng sighed and said, "I thought he would take the initiative to mention this matter to Mr. Kangda, after all, he predicted how difficult the exam questions were, but he didn't say anything. And it seems that he only told me about it yesterday, which I think is very strange, I always feel that he did not predict it, but knew the topic in advance. ”

Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Mengmeng in front of him, and he also had a trace of admiration for her in his heart, girls are really precocious than boys, and they can think of so many questions with just one point.

As for Guo Kang, it is very likely that he bought the title of the middle-aged man yesterday, but why did he only say this to Zhang Mengmeng, most likely because if he has a good impression of a person, then he hopes that she will be okay too.

Zhang Mengmeng continued: "I think it would be unfair if someone really knew the topic in advance. ”

"Squad leader, don't worry about this, prepare for the next round, don't be affected by this incident." Zhang Fan said.

Just as Zhang Mengmeng was about to continue, there were bursts of noisy shouts from the propaganda column not far away.

"The results of the first round were announced in advance!"
