Around 6:20 p.m.

The side dishes have been stir-fried, eight dishes, one side of yellow tofu, stir-fried pork with chili, cumin beef, shredded potatoes, eggplant beans, tamales, baby cabbage, and a super large portion of beer duck. The Lin family has made a bloody investment, which is even more grand than Lin Ming being admitted to university.

Of course, it's not that Lin Ming has anything to show off when he gets admitted to a high school. After all, apart from him, who is not studying in a high school?

Just to celebrate, and for him to continue to go to Yigao to renew their friendship with them, it is not a big deal to have a family banquet together.

When the time came, the friends knocked on the door one after another.

Lin Ming went to open the door.

Usually lawless, the little friends who can go to the sky and the earth outside, after entering the house, they are all like quails, very restrained, obediently called uncles and aunts, and sat in the living room waiting for the meal.

In fact, these guys didn't mess around in anyone's house when they were children, but when they grew up, there were a lot fewer of these visits, and when they saw their elders, they would also habitually be polite, hoping to maintain a good image in the eyes of their elders, but they were not as free and crazy as when they were children.

But this is also a path that everyone must go through in life, and there will be no one in this world to accompany you to live carefree like a child all the time. People will always grow up, and when they grow up, they will be polite, polite, and even wear a mask of hypocrisy, like everyone around them, like a drop of water into a sea.

When Lin Ming saw An Ran, An Ran's face was a little unnatural, and after coming in and calling his uncle and aunt, he politely sat on the sofa without saying a word. Lin Ming wanted to find a chance to go over and ask, but there was no suitable time, so he could only go to the kitchen to bring the dishes and chopsticks first.

Fang Lan said: "Treat this place as your own home, you're welcome." I watched you all grow up, and my aunt doesn't know what any of you were like when you were young, so you can take the dishes and chopsticks to fill the rice, and I'll go get some red wine. ”

Lin Ming put the rice cooker on the dining table.

Lin Changqing said with a smile: "Lin Ming was admitted to the first middle school with his own efforts. Now that we have finally caught up with you, congratulations. In the future, in No. 1 Middle School, you must urge him to study hard and be admitted to a key university. If everyone is admitted to the university of their choice, how about your uncle pay for you to travel abroad? ”

"Uncle Lin, don't worry." Fan Lei patted his chest and said: "This matter is on me, I promise to go to Lin Ming's class every day to check how he is doing his homework." I won't let him give up on his studies at all, and as soon as he shows signs of slacking off or playing something else, I will give you a small report immediately. ”

His words made everyone laugh, Fan Lei's academic performance is not to mention that he is in a high school, he is at the bottom of any ordinary high school, and he also urged Lin Ming to study, and Lin Ming urged him to do the same.

However, everyone knows that this kid is a living treasure, and Huang Anwen is the two most talkative and skinny in a group of people, and it is normal to say this kind of thing. Not to mention, Fan Lei made a gag in the middle, and the slightly restrained atmosphere at the dinner table was much loosened because of the presence of the elders, and even Lin Changqing and Fang Lan laughed.

Zhang Shaoan glanced at Lin Ming and said thoughtfully: "Lin Ming is actually very smart, he didn't want to learn before. During this time, he kept asking me to help him with his homework, and I could see that I had made great progress. It is also reasonable to be able to enter a middle school this time, but Mr. Dai Zhou is the lecturer of the Mathematics Olympiad in my Olympiad group, and this teacher's class is not good. Lin Ming, if you want to stay in Teacher Dai's class, you have to have a correct attitude towards learning. If he thinks you have a bad attitude, even if you have good grades, he will dare to kick you out of school. So going to class 13 is both an opportunity and a crisis. ”

"Oh?" Lin Ming was interested, if he could find out the character of this head teacher before entering Teacher Dai's class, it would still be very beneficial for him in the future. He asked, "It's both an opportunity and a crisis, how to say it." ”

"If you have the chance, I'll tell you this."

Zhang Shaoan said: "As long as you study hard in class 13, the worst and the worst, you can be admitted to the second book." Because of the graduating class the year before last, Mr. Dai brought out the only all-undergraduate class in the province, with more than 70 people in the class, all of whom were on the second line. Therefore, in Teacher Dai's class, many parents want their children to enter. ”

Lin Changqing and Fang Lan glanced at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes. They also knew about the whole undergraduate class, and they also appeared on the news of Hunan Provincial TV that year, which caused a sensation for a while, but they didn't expect the head teacher to be this Teacher Dai, it seems that Lin Ming is expected to be an undergraduate in the future.

But then Zhang Shao'an's words gave them a basin of cold water, Zhang Shao'an said: "Teacher Dai's class teachers don't have to say, they are all top teachers. However, Mr. Dai is strict, he can't rub sand in his eyes, if there is a problem with your learning attitude, he will find a way to correct you, but it can't be saved, and the consequence is to be directly persuaded to quit. ”

"Dissuade?" Fang Lan was stunned: "It's just that I didn't read well, and I didn't make any big mistakes, is it necessary to directly persuade him to quit?" ”

In the impression of ordinary people, persuasion is already a very serious mistake made by students in school, and it will be the consequence that will be triggered. For example, major incidents such as absenteeism, early love, insulting teachers, fights, etc., and even if these incidents are first-time offenders, plus someone pleads for mercy, it is not impossible not to directly persuade them to quit and only record a major demerit.

But Teacher Dai Zhou's class, once there is a problem in learning, he will be directly persuaded to quit, which is unthinkable in the eyes of people. And the school won't let it happen because it's a punishment without cause. It's normal for students' grades to fluctuate, how can it cause such a big consequence.

However, Fan Lei interjected at this time: "Auntie, I have the right to speak on this point." I used to be in Lao Dai's class, but in fact, Lao Dai is not so ruthless. It's about your attitude towards learning, and it's important to do this. The grades are a little worse, as long as you study hard, even if you are bad, he dares to help you raise your grades and help you get them. But if you don't listen carefully in class, you will make small moves everywhere or even harass other students, and affect other students to listen to the class. Lao Dai will be furious, a lighter is corporal punishment, and a heavier one is persuasion. I just couldn't stand him at the beginning, so I changed classes. But if you want to study seriously, it's not wrong to go to Lao Dai's class. ”

Although Dai Zhou is a strict person, he is not the kind of person who is not close to people. Learning is based on talent, some people are not as hard as you, not as diligent as you, but the results in the test are better than you. No one can refute this, because this kind of other people's children are everywhere in life, and they are almost flooded.

But Dai Zhou doesn't look at people with colored glasses, he won't ignore you if you have poor grades, but try to help you improve. But if there is a problem with your learning attitude, not only do you not study, but also affect the classmates around you, then Dai Zhou will never tolerate you.

Such a teacher can't be considered bad. On the contrary, it is a very good teacher for those students who just want to study seriously. Therefore, Zhang Shaoan reminded Lin Ming that it is both an opportunity and a crisis.

After listening to Zhang Shao'an and Fan Lei's narration, Fang Lan and Lin Changqing nodded thoughtfully. Lin Ming also thought it was very interesting, and nodded to show that he understood.

Everyone talked about the situation of No. 1 Middle School again, because Fang Lan and Lin Changqing were there, so they didn't talk too much. I just sorted out the situation of some teachers in Class 13 to Lin Ming, some of their temperaments and personalities, and teaching methods. One by one, Lin Ming was persuaded to enter a new class and school, so he had to keep up with the progress and start studying seriously.

Lin Ming's efforts in the past few months are for today, so naturally he will not be sloppy, and he nods frequently when he listens. So much so that after the whole meal, he was still a little unsatisfied, and felt that this meal was very valuable. Because these things help him a lot, when he goes to an unfamiliar environment, he will always be rejected by the people and things in these environments. But if you can figure out the situation, which is commonly known as feeling the plate, it will be much clearer for him to integrate into the environment. At least Lin Ming knew which teachers' classes were not even allowed to drink saliva in class. Which teachers are more generous, and the class will be more lively and humorous. Different teachers have different attitudes towards students, which can be used as a reference.

After eating, Lin Ming sent them out.

When they came downstairs, everyone said goodbye to him very tacitly and went home separately. Only An Ran stood silent, and didn't speak much during the whole meal. This made the uneasy premonition in Lin Ming's heart even stronger, always worried about what would go wrong.

"Take a walk after dinner?" Lin Ming glanced at the bright moonlight in the sky, August 31, 2002, according to the lunar calendar, it was already July 23, and there were still more than 10 days left to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and at more than 7 o'clock in the evening, the moon became more and more round and bright.

An Ran nodded and walked side by side with him in the community. Every household in the community has their lights on, and some of them have moved out of small stools, enjoyed the shade in the yard, played chess on the street lamps, ate watermelons, and chatted with each other.

The two of them did not speak in tacit understanding, and it was not until they left the courtyard that there was no one Lin Ming spoke: "Something on your mind?" ”

An Ran shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Lin Ming smiled: "You don't seem to be happy when I was admitted to a high school, you are in class 14, I am in class 13, I pass by your class every day, and I seem to be able to see you." ”

An Ran tilted his head and smiled at him: "I'm very happy, but I'm sorry to tell you that Class 13 is on the far right on the fourth floor of the second teaching building, and Class 14 is on the far left end of the fifth floor, just not in the same building, I'm afraid you won't see me every day." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Ming didn't notice that An Ran's smile seemed to reveal a little reluctance, he scratched his head and said, "That's really unlucky." ”

An Ran had a tear in the corner of her eyes, in order not to let Lin Ming see it, she turned her head to look at the sky and said, "The moon is so beautiful, how is it, have you written any new songs recently?" Sing it to me. ”

"I wrote one, but I didn't bring a guitar."

"Then sing a cappella."

"Okay."

Lin Ming pondered for a moment and sang softly: "You know that I don't just like you, but you don't have the answer I want in your eyes."

An Ran kept a smile on his face, and tears slowly slipped down from the corners of his eyes that Lin Ming couldn't see.

Laughing with tears.

You know I don't just like you.

The song.

It's nice to hear, as I am, and it's not just like you.

Ke Lin Ming.

There are always irresistible forces in this world that will separate you and me.

By that time, will you still have the courage to walk with me?

Under the moonlight, An Ran had a heart.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

The shadow of two people.

The longer it gets.
