After surviving the final exams, the first summer vacation of junior high school began.

Time flies, and the year-long first day of junior high school is coming to an end. The lateness on the first day of junior high school was like yesterday's scene, and today, I will officially say goodbye to the first day of junior high school.

I packed up my quilt and clothes and sat on the empty bed, waiting for my dad to pick me up.

The atmosphere at home has been very tense since the beginning of April, because of my brother Lingming's college entrance examination.

He didn't study in a key high school, a general high school, and the entrance rate in previous years was very low, and in recent years, the school's grades have been worse year by year, and he has suffered Waterloo.

Not only his parents, but even I sweated for him.

However, it's just a sweat, how difficult the college entrance examination is, whether you are tired of studying or not, only the person in question, Ling Ming, knows best.

When I came home on the weekend of this semester, I saw him sullen, six years older than me, and he had vicissitudes on his face that I couldn't see at my age.

This one, he was much haggard under the torture of the college entrance examination.

In my round-the-clock study and education in junior high school, I have also grown a little and my personality has become more cheerful.

At the beginning of June, Ling Ming finished the college entrance examination and stayed at home.

Our family didn't dare to ask him how many points he scored, so we nervously waited for the score.

Some people often compare the college entrance examination to a carp jumping over the dragon gate, but for children in the countryside, the salted fish jumping over the dragon gate should be more appropriate.

Three days after the final exams, the result notice is out. This time, it was my father who called in advance to ask the head teacher, and I already knew the results before I went to school to get the report card - still the fourth place.

Thanks to Chen Tao's habit of being a top student, I was able to maintain the fourth place even if I was naughty in the first half of the semester, and he was still the fifth.

There is such a thing as grades, there is strength and luck, no matter what, I am convinced, my learning attitude is not as good as his iron man-like will, day after day, year after year.

Seven days a week, I really felt like three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, the other two days of eating, drinking, and having fun, and every few days I was depressed, and I honestly reported this to my parents, who put it down to poor health and malnutrition.

The doctor did a detailed examination, and the diagnosis was not serious, at most there was some anemia, but the anemia was caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, and the focus was on nourishing the stomach.

Eventually, at my mother's insistence, the doctor prescribed me several boxes of tonic medicine in one go.

The most impressive thing was the bottled medicine, which tasted very similar to soy sauce, but it was still very sweet and had a dark caramel taste.

After taking it for a while, the whole person's complexion was much better, and his complexion was ruddy, but after stopping the drug for a few days, it returned to the original state.

In my father's words, "Your seedling is so thin that it looks malnourished and needs to eat more meat." ”

Dad finally came, and the dormitory was almost gone.

The rest of the girls also greeted my dad with a smile on their faces.

"Let's go, girl, let's go home." Dad said happily to me, holding out a hand and motioning for me to give him the quilt.

"Huh! Good. I handed him the quilt, then took my clothes, carried my bag, and walked out of the dormitory together.

Walking to the top of the stairs and seeing him carrying a huge quilt, I smiled and said, "Dad, I'll help you." ”

My dad refused, "No, I can handle your dad." You just take the stairs and watch the road carefully. ”

Looking at his brisk figure going downstairs, I paused and felt deeply gratified: "My dad is still young, it's good, I really hope he can stay so young and never get old, just fine." ”

"Girl, hurry up, go home early, your mother has made soup, just wait for you to go back and drink it." He shouted downstairs.

"Hey, okay, here." I came back to my senses and hurriedly agreed.

Walking briskly downstairs, my father was tying a quilt to the back seat of the motorcycle, but this time he didn't bring the basket over.

I asked a little puzzled, "Dad, why don't you bring a basket?" ”

Dad scratched his head and said, "That's broken." Hey...... It broke after three years, and I haven't had time to buy it yet. ”

I nodded and said, "Oh, oh, I see." Why did it suddenly break? ”

I handed him the bag of clothes, and he smiled and said, "Isn't it broken when things are old?"

Like people, they are useless when they get old.

Your dad and I too, almost forty. It's old too. ”

He has dark hair, a muscular figure, and I don't think he's old except for some fine lines on his face.

"Nonsense, you look like someone in your early thirties, why are you old? Young! I retorted.

Dad raised his arm and said, "I have frozen shoulder again, and my arm is also a little strained here, and the work on the construction site is estimated to be impossible to do in a few years."

People don't accept the old age, and recently I am discussing with your mother that I plan to start a small business. ”

There was helplessness in his tone, and I was very distressed after listening to it.

"When my brother grows up and has a job, you won't have to work so hard." I comforted.

"Alright, tie it up, get in the car. Your brother's college entrance examination score hasn't come out yet, so maybe he will have to repeat it.

When I go home, you remember, don't talk about it, he hasn't been in a good mood recently, and he probably didn't do well in the exam. He urged.

"Oh oh, okay, then I'll take care of my mouth.

I'm seated, let's go. I whispered.

The whirring wind and noisy motorcycle engines, coupled with the heat of early summer, made the whole person a little stuffy and uneasy.

This past June was a huge disaster for junior and senior high school students, and there were always a few survivors.

Especially in the college entrance examination, the success and defeat of the king are very similar to the ancient imperial examinations, "Ten years of hard study, once the title of the gold list." ”

"I hope Ling Ming's grades can be better, so my parents will be much happier, and so will I." I prayed in my heart, and my thoughts drifted in this mountain bay.

When I got home, thinking about my father's warning, it was the first time that I was so cautious and polite to my brother Ling Ming, for fear that something would be wrong and poke his heart.

After dinner, sitting on the desk, Ling Ming flipped through the "Guide to Filling in the College Entrance Examination" and whispered to me: "I can't pass the exam, what should I do?" Ling Yue, what do you think I should do? ”

I don't know.

I haven't experienced the college entrance examination, so I can't understand his situation.

I also whispered, "Isn't the score out yet?"

Why can't I get in? Brother, don't be discouraged......"

Ling Ming turned around and said, "I've got the answer right, three hundred percent is hanging, and there is no hope for the three books."

If my parents are too excited, you have to help me persuade me. ”

"Oh, okay. But what are you going to do next? ”

"What else can you plan, take a step at a time, and go out to work." He spread his hands and said.

I muttered, "You can repeat it, try to get into college." ”

He shook his head, and sat there, lifeless, like a tree that had withered for many years, and continued: "No, I'm not a student to study.

It's you, you have to work hard, brother is optimistic about you. ”

I don't think I'll give up until the last minute, if the result doesn't come out.

But too much comfort at the moment will only be counterproductive.

I nodded and said, "Okay, I will." After that, he continued to write his summer homework.

"What does it feel like to wait without hope?

Even though the dust has settled, it must be a very painful feeling to have the illusion of possibility in your heart. I said to myself in my heart.

Goodbye, my first year of junior high school.

I hope that I can work harder in the second year of junior high school, so that the results of the high school entrance examination in the third year of junior high school will be better.
