The residual heat of the college entrance examination
The beginning of the story is always like this, it gives people a bland and boring appearance, and the result is also a cliché, but what matters is the process of the story, which is the memory of youth and the cognition of life.
Our village is not big, and there are always a few college entrance exams a year. People here think that when they are admitted to university, they will sit in a cool room, holding a pen in their hands, and they will no longer farm under the red sun like them, and they will not go to an unfamiliar city to be a migrant worker. Walking on the road, people always ask me how I did and what university I want to go to. I just smiled wryly and said that I didn't do well in the exam and might have to make up for a year.
The past few days have been really difficult, they all think that I am a good student and talented, but I am really not that good, just one of the millions of candidates who can no longer be ordinary.
On the twentieth of June, as promised, the proud sun proclaimed his talent with impunity, and everything on the earth seemed to be roasted and devoid of life. The only phone in the house rang as promised, and I felt a little scared, but I picked it up quickly. "Hey, brother, what's the matter?" I asked worriedly. I asked directly on the phone if you checked your grades, I don't know what happened at that time, I don't know how to answer. Then I heard the other side say, "Send me your admission ticket number, and I'll check it for you." Before I could react, the phone was ringing. I felt more tired than I had ever felt before, one that was physically and mentally exhausted.
I opened the cabinet and looked for my admission ticket slowly, I wanted to find it slowly, but he still stood there so conspicuously, as if beckoning to me. I took it bummerly, carefully entered the string of numbers on it into my phone, and didn't press the send button after typing, just checked it over and over again. It's not that I'm afraid of making mistakes, it's mainly about delaying time. But I knew in my heart that I still had to face it, so I finally made up my mind to send it.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the people who had been hot all day slowly began to become active, and they seemed to be very energetic, laughing and going to work in the fields. Their voices were loud and they were saying something, but I couldn't hear it clearly, and I felt a silence like I had never felt before, as if the world in front of me had nothing to do with me.
A fierce "Brother, you go to the west exit" broke the silence, and he grabbed the phone with a particularly quick response. "Hey, how many points?" I asked weakly. "Total score 329" This is I'm already confused, behind the language 91, math ...... English...... I didn't even hear it.
After a while, I realized that the phone hadn't hung up yet, and the other party seemed to be talking about something, and I didn't have the heart to listen to him anymore, so I hung up. The surroundings felt very quiet, and they smiled at me very tacitly in this hot summer.
That's when my mom came in, and she asked me what I was going to eat today, and I said whatever. Maybe it's a casual habit, maybe it's really casual, because I can't eat anything now, and I just want to sleep at this time, and I want to sleep quietly all the time, never wake up. It's a good thing to say that I often joke about, sleep in the dark, the sun and the moon are dark, and now is a good opportunity.
"What's wrong with you, why doesn't it look right, do you have a cold?" asked my mother as she tied her apron. I finally couldn't help it, tears came down all of a sudden, and my mother was really frightened when she saw me, because I was a willful, fun-loving, a little indulgent, carefree, optimistic and cheerful boy in my mother's eyes, and I couldn't help shaking my hands when I was frightened by this relationship drama, and said, "What's wrong with you, tell Mom, don't scare me." Is it unwell? "Mom, I've only passed the exam for more than 300," I said with tears in my eyes. Mom suddenly felt much more relaxed, probably because she saw that her baby son was healthy and complete.
In fact, my mother's attitude towards me is that as long as I am healthy and can grow up happily, it doesn't put too much pressure on me. I don't want to do my homework and she won't force me, and when she sees me falling asleep reading, she will put the book aside and help me straighten my body and cover the quilt. Whenever this happens, I feel guilty because I'm watching. These preferential treatments from my mother have made me healthy, cheerful, and optimistic, but it seems to be a little too much, a little indulgent and uninhibited.
"It's okay, I'll make it up for another year," my mother said with a smile. When I heard my mother's words, I felt a lot more relaxed, and I knew that my mother was the most supportive person. "Mom, I'll help you cook, you rest", I said as I snatched my mother's apron. My mother smiled and said to me, "This stupid son." "That's right, that's my optimism, it's strong.
In fact, I can already guess my college entrance examination results, every time I simulate it, it is almost the same, it is more than three hundred, but this time I am unprecedentedly sad, probably because I am afraid that my mother will be sad, in view of my mother's attitude, I plan to treat her well.
The dish was made quickly, in fact, my cooking skills are not bad, I haven't done it before, but it tastes good, I can't explain it, and finally I think about it, it comes down to my father's genes. I brought the dish to the table and said, "Mom, eat," I called as I served the soup. Mom walked out with her Nokia in her hand and asked, "Where are you going to tutor?" Just now Er Zhuo called and said that he was going to the party school for tutoring. "The party school is actually a special tutoring school, I don't know how it became a party school, in the city, it takes more than an hour's drive from home. I said, "Okay, tomorrow we'll go over and have a look, and you can try my handiwork." "Oh, boy, yes, it looks good" "You taste, taste it." Mom added a chopsticks to the chili pepper I fried fried meat, put it in her mouth and chewed it and said, "Yes, it's growing again." I jokingly said: "That dare to be sloppy, you don't see who did it, the genius of our old Zhang family." "Mom gave me a blank look.
At this time, the sky is not very hot, the sky is red in the sunset, and suddenly a breeze blows, this life is too comfortable, at this time it is a good choice to listen to a burst of music and lie down to look at the sky for a while.
In the summer, when the day dawned very early, the old Lokia of my house began to sound before I woke up, and I heard that I was also drunk, and I thought, "Who is this, I don't sleep in the morning, what a sickness?" I rubbed my eyes, picked up the phone on the table and looked at it, it turned out that this one was sick, and he was not lightly ill, and I didn't know what he was going to do.
"What's the matter, why are you going so early?" I asked angrily.
"Where are you going to tutor, we have to sign up, Huaxin Middle School has a high score, and we can't get in."
"Can't get in, what's going on?"
"The bottom line is three hundred and eight."
"Then where are you going, Party School?"
"Well, hurry up, we'll wait for you at my house."
I was about to say that the phone was almost hung up over there, and he was always like that, making decisions for me, which made me feel irresistible.
This person is Zhang Zhuo, because he is the second oldest in the family, we are all called Er Zhuo.
Speaking of this Erzhuo, it can be said that they grew up together with bare butts. My dad and his dad have been good friends for many years, and the relationship between our generation has deepened. That is, his house is my house, my dad is his dad, and he and I almost didn't wear a pair of underwear.
When I got the call, which seemed to be an order, I lay down for a few more minutes, as I always do.
After a while, I woke up suddenly, looked at my watch, it had been half an hour, I quickly put on my clothes, washed up roughly, and my Erzhuo's family rushed away.
The distance from my house to his house is only seven or eight minutes, but at my extraordinary speed today, it should be less than three minutes.
Before I could get in, I said, "You're not going to let people sleep, early in the morning." ”
"Your sister, look how long we've been calling you." Erzhuo said, pointing to the watch hanging on the wall of his house.
"Hurry up, otherwise the car won't be able to catch up, have you eaten, hurry up and there are steamed buns on the table."
I just wanted to eat a steamed bun, but he had already gone out, and I could only be hungry too
"What are you doing running so fast, aren't you ten minutes away from the car?" I say.
"A few of them are waiting for us, and they've been waiting for a long time." Erzhuo said.
I knew that a few of them must be there, and this is already an axiom, and it has been proven by a lot of practice. We can now say that we are inseparable, and we often eat and sleep together, in the words of several of our parents, it should smell like each other.
We ran to the station, and just as the train came, I took the ticket they bought and got on the train.
"Why did you arrive, we have already bought tickets after we called you at Ercheng's house." Xiao Yan complained.
"That's Erzhuo slow, I've been waiting for him for a long time, and he won't come out when he goes to the toilet." I saw Erzhuo go to the toilet and walked away, and whispered.
This can only be said in a whisper, otherwise let him know that he has to commit two crimes, who can stop him.
"Fuck, what the fuck gave him, how many times a day he has to go to the toilet, you see he goes to the toilet again." Da Chang pointed at Er Zhuo and said.
It was supposed to be morning now, and there were a lot of people who wanted to go to the toilet, and Er Zhuo was still queuing at the door. When he saw that we were talking about him, he came.
"Xiao Chi, you are unreliable, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't have time to go to the toilet." Er Zhuo pouted.
"I'll just say, he's been up for so long, even if it's slow, he should have packed it up, so that's it." The big long smiled mysteriously.
"Erzhuo, he said what did you eat today, you have to go to the toilet several times a day," Da Chang said.
Er Zhuo already knows what's going on, we've used too much of this kind of little trick, everyone knows it, I'm ready to escape, it's common to abscond in fear of crime, but it seems that this time the situation is not good, where can I escape to such a small space.
It would have to be Plan B, which is a good thing, but I also think it won't work at this point, but it's not my style to throw in the towel without trying.
"I was wrong, I promise I won't dare in the future." I forced a smile on my face.
"Next time......" they smiled wickedly.
"You still say I'm slow, I think you're looking for a fight." Erzhuo's fist has already come.
"I'll treat you to beef noodles." I hurriedly shouted.
"You? He's alone? "They had already pressed me to my seat one by one.
"No, you...... You ......" and before they let go, I had to say, "Add another egg." That's when they let go.
"Fuck you guys hurt me." I yelled.
At this time, a girl who was about the same age as us sitting opposite came to see it, and I felt embarrassed that I had scolded people like this in public, and I had always identified myself as a humble gentleman. I smiled at her embarrassedly, and she smiled at me very politely.
