Regarding Chen Yue's score, Jiang Yang should have kept it a secret, but in a quarrel with his mother, he accidentally slipped out and blurted out the words at once.

It was one evening, and Jiang Yang played from noon to dinner until dinner in the evening. When he returned, he went into the kitchen and washed his hands on the sink. Seeing his sweaty appearance, his mother walked out of the kang platform and said angrily: "Look at you, look at you, the clothes you just changed are dirty like this, I think your child is wild." As she spoke, her mother took a bamboo stick and slapped it on the back of Jiang Yang's buttocks.

"Mom... Mother... What are you doing? Jiang Yang posted a post on the wall of the sink, and the bamboo strips were very small, and it really hurt to hit his buttocks, which were only wearing big pants. Don't hit Mom, don't beat Mom," Jiang Yang begged, grabbing his mother's hand at every opportunity.

"Every day I know to run outside, run! Did you run out of a famous hall? The high school entrance examination scored 200 points, and you still have the face to go out to play? Take a good look at your classmate Chen Yue's house, how can Chen Yue know that he reads at home, what about you, the book has long been forgotten. I can't control it. ”

It's someone else's house: Why do adults always like to compare it with someone else's good grades? Is it really so important for adults to look forward to their children's grades? Is it because your own children have better grades and more light on their faces than other people's children? More faceless? The light of arrogance. In this way, children are really the hope of parents.

"Mom, I beg you, don't compare Chen Yue with me, I admit that I can't compare to him."

"It's not promising!" Mother gave her a sarcastic look.

"Ahh Didn't Chen Yue take the exam a little more than 300, and he wasn't much better than me? Jiang Yang accidentally blurted out, and immediately realized the problem. What the? Mother asked, staring at his face with wide eyes.

Jiang Yang didn't answer immediately, waiting for his mother to continue asking him.

"What? Don't be bad, Chen Yue scored more than 300 points? ”

"Mom, do you care so much about scores? Is it really that important to score? Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders and asked weakly.

"Not important? God, you kid. The mother threw away the bamboo stick in her hand and continued, "Why do you want to study if it doesn't matter?" It doesn't matter, why should everyone study diligently? If it doesn't matter, why are there beggars lying on the road? ”

"Mom, it's me who is wrong." Jiang Yang lowered his head and admitted his mistake, he felt that his mother was angry, it was really angry, and he had to be careful.

At dinner, the mother played the question, seemed panicked, and asked her companion, "Dad, did you listen to Jiang Yang?" ”

"Say what? This kid has something to say and never tells me easily. ”

Father glared at the other end of the rice bowl. Jiang Yang immediately understood what his mother wanted to say, and said to himself in his heart: "Chen Yue, forgive me for being an uncompetitive friend." ”

"Dad, you don't know? Jiang Yang said that Chen Yue scored more than 300 points in the high school entrance examination, "The mother said cautiously, for fear that the news would lose its shock to her.

"Nonsense, you just listen to his nonsense." The father said, glaring at Jiang Yang again, "You are talking to your mother and joking like this?" ”

"No!" Since my father decided it was a joke, that's fine. "Mom, you didn't say anything to me, and I don't know how many points Chen Yue scored." Jiang Yang looked at his mother and said.

"What do you look like in your own exams? What are other people doing every day, what are you doing every day? Father asked Jiang Yang with a cheer.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Yang was annoyed, "He's reading, I'm playing." He replied.

"And the face to say?"

The father stopped his chopsticks and asked the child seriously: "How many points did Chen Yue score?" ”

"I don't know." Jiang Yang pretended not to know, picked up the bowl and ate his food. It can be seen that my father still cares.

Jiang Yang originally wanted to be able to save the situation for what he accidentally said, but he didn't expect that things would get worse and worse. Even though the child said he didn't know, the parents really wanted to find out. Out of curiosity, after eating, the couple talked in the room for a while, and then went out together and walked into the neighbor's house.

"Xiao Fang, good evening." Chen Yue's mother was busy with housework in the kitchen when a neighbor's house suddenly arrived.

"It's Xiaoying, come and play. Yikes! The head of the house also came, welcome welcome. ”

Chen Yue's mother said that she would leave her housework and hurriedly wipe her hands and lead the guests. They sat side by side at the large table in the living room.

"Dad!" Chen Yue's mother hurriedly walked into the door, "Dad, don't read the newspaper, the Jiang Sheng family and his wife are here." ”

Chen Yue's father walked out in time. "Hello!"

"Good!"

The four adults happily greeted if everything was okay lately. When the time came, Jiang Yang's mother stood up and walked to the door of a room, asking, "Is Chen Yue at home?" When the door opened, as she expected, he was reading at his desk. After confirming that Chen Yue was at home, Jiang Yang's mother returned to the big table.

"I want to ask, I wonder if it's convenient?" Jiang Yang's father asked Chen Yue's father.

"Hey, what's inconvenient between us, just say it."

"I don't know how Chen Yue's middle school exam went?"

Chen Yue's father had already guessed that they would ask this question when they came. However, he is not the kind of person who wants to hide the truth for the sake of face. He shook his head and said with a sigh: "He suddenly felt unwell during the exam. ”

"Huh? Got sick during the exam? Jiang Yang's mother then asked.

"Hmm," Chen Yue's mother nodded on the side.

"I scored more than 300 points." When Chen Yue's father said this, he didn't have the face to look at the guests.

The three good students in the class only scored more than 300 points in the high school entrance examination, which surprised Jiang Yang's parents. For Chen Yue and Chen Yue's family, it must be very sad and sad. Jiang Yang's father expressed his full condolences to the child's situation, and he sighed on the spot: Your child is really very good, and he can be regarded as a top student in learning. But I often tell the children's mother, I say that children's grades and learning ability are very important, but we must pay attention to the nutrition to keep up, the dishes should be cooked comprehensively, not a single meat dish or vegetarian dish. Good health is my duty.

This is true, Chen Yue's parents nodded in agreement. They really regret what happened to their children. In order not to make the neighbors too sad, Jiang Yang's parents turned the topic to family trivialities in time.

On the other hand, Jiang Yang was standing in the courtyard of his home, with his back against the wall, looking up at the top of a wire tower in the distance.

"Brother," the younger sister turned on the hallway light, came out of the house, and asked him, "Is what you said to your mother true?" ”

Jiang Yang stood and thought about it for a while, he was about to say "no", but when he thought that the news would always spread after his parents came home, he had to tell the truth, "It's true." ”

"It's true!" My sister shouted.

"Well, I looked at his score bar - 319."

"How is that possible!" Xiao Ai screamed, almost like a tantrum and said: "His previous final exams were all six or seven hundred points, this time you said that it was more than three hundred points, the ghost only believes it?" ”

"If you don't believe me, just wait for your parents to come back and ask."

"No way, there must be some reason."

Cause. Jiang Yang looked up at the starry sky, "I heard from the head teacher that it was because he had an upset stomach and was sick during the exam." Yes, I got sick during the exam. Oh! It's terrible. ”

There was a knock at the courtyard door, and the parents came back from chatting at Chen Yue's house. The father entered the house, and the mother closed the door behind him and followed him.

Jiang Yang leaned towards the door, only to hear his mother say to his father: "It's a pityβ€”it's a pityβ€”it's a pity." Dad, I really can't think that Chen Yue's grades are so good, and he only scored more than 300 points in the high school entrance examination. If he hadn't been sick at the time, a good boy like him could have been admitted to a high school. ”

The father nodded, and said: "He is completely ruined by his own physique, and looking at his thin weight, I really suspect that the couple has a big problem with their diet." ”

"But no, when you say that, I remember that once I went to their house and ate sauerkraut for dinner."

The parents discussed Chen Yue's failure in the exam. But when my sister came back from her parents, she went into the house and listened carefully to their words.

Jiang Yang was still standing there, not having the heart to listen any further. He walked to the persimmon tree in front of the courtyard, stopped under the tree, and bowed his head to think about his thoughts. Upset stomach? Before he did it, before this secret was revealed, he wouldn't think about the details of Chen Yue's explanation. But now, his parents know, and he is sure that in less than a week, everyone in the village will know about it. He really didn't want to go, and wanted to do his best to explore the problem.

On the 29th of the next month, Jiang Yang went to the school alone, the teaching building was empty, and the office was locked. He had no choice but to find the Academic Affairs Office, the office in the inner door was open, Jiang Yang hesitated, and then strode forward.

"Looking for whom?" Inside, a young man in a suit and bow tie asked from his seat.

"Can I get my diploma today?"

The man shook his head and replied, "The one who cares about this is not here today, so come and get it on the 30th." ”

"Is it tomorrow?"

"Hmm."

"Thank you." Jiang Yang approached the man and asked, "I want to know the details of the score of the high school entrance examination, can I find it?" ”

The man looked at him, not understanding the meaning of his question, and asked, "Details?" ”

"Well, for example, I mean, for example, I got a zero score in the test, and I want to check because the questions in the test paper are all wrong or I didn't fill in at all."

"Oh! I see what you mean. The man smiled and said, "Do you think that the teacher who corrected the test paper deliberately changed your correct question to the wrong one?" ”

"No, no," Jiang Yang hurriedly waved his hand and corrected: "I don't mean that at all, it's not that I want to know which specific questions I did wrong, I just want to know if it's all wrong or not filled in at all, can I?" ”

"Go, go, go to the next office and ask." The man said impatiently pointing out the door.

Jiang Yang had no choice but to turn around and go out and come to the office next door. This room was very different from the previous one, and every table was full of books. He couldn't see anyone at the door, so he had to walk inside, and finally he found a middle-aged female teacher behind a pile of high, thick books, who was writing with her head down.

"Hello teacher."

"Hey, hello." When the teacher saw someone coming, he put down the pen in time. "What's the matter?"

He was a history teacher in Jiangyang's second year of junior high school, and I heard that he was a vice principal. I have the impression that she is a kind teacher. He didn't dare to make any guarantees, but at least he hadn't been beaten by her.

"Teacher, I want to know about the high school entrance examination."

"Say it, kid."

"I have a classmate who is a friend of mine, and he scored very bizarrely, and he scored zero in all three subjects. I just don't understand, because he did quite well in Chinese and math, and the teacher thinks it's weird? ”

"Got zero marks in three courses?"

"Hmm."

"According to what you say, you probably handed in a blank slate."

"Why do you want to hand in a blank roll?"

"What's the reason to have to pay it?"

"Have to pay? White rolls? ”

"If you're specific, let's go to your classmates and ask them personally. I'm sorry I can't find out why he got a zero score here. ”

"If it's not for the blank paper," Jiang Yang continued, "then the questions are all filled in incorrectly." ”

"Perhaps."

Jiang Yang shook his head and almost screamed, how could he believe that Chen Yue could make a completely wrong test paper.

"Teacher, you really can't find it here?"

"I'm sorry, I really can't find it."

"The person over there just said you can find it here." Jiang Yang pointed to the wall, meaning to tell her that the person over there was in the office behind the wall.

"Good boy, I won't shirk if I can help you. But I really can't find out what you're asking for. ”

In the end, nothing could be found, but he was only given a possible situation, could it be that his condition was really so serious that he couldn't even open his eyes and move his fingers?

"Excuse me, teacher." Jiang Yang said goodbye to his history teacher, but he understood that the history teacher didn't know that he was her former student, but he didn't blame her. The teachers have taken too many students, and the memory of the students' appearance is never enough.

"Oops, hey." He had just left, and before he could reach the door, the teacher stopped him. "You can ask his homeroom teacher, and the homeroom teacher will know very well about this."

In the afternoon, Jiang Yang woke up from his nap and walked into his parents' room. On a few small notebooks next to the telephone, he looked for the number and flipped to the mark: Jiangyang head teacher - followed by a string of numbers. Mom and Dad are not at home at work, but my sister is still resting in bed during the summer vacation. He carefully pressed the button, and when he had finished pressing all the numbers, he lifted the microphone. As soon as I lifted it, I heard a noise behind me. Oh, my God! The younger sister woke up and was sitting at the head of the bed, combing her hair with her hands, staring at him curiously.

"Hello?"

The call went through.

"Hello? Hello class teacher. ”

"Hello?" Obviously, the head teacher didn't expect his student to take the initiative to call at this time.

"Oh, I'm Jiang Yang. I wanted to ask you something. ”

"You say."

"About Chen Yue's score in the middle school entrance examination."

"Yikes! You're still worried about this, it seems that Chen Yue has made a good friend. ”

"Yes, I want to find out if the few subjects he scored zero on were because he wrote all the questions in the test paper incorrectly, or..."

"No, he didn't take the test at all."

"Didn't take the test?" Jiang Yang was shocked and immediately asked, "He didn't take the exam?" ”

"English, politics, history, three subjects do not have his attendance records."

"Didn't go to the exam room?"

"It should be."

Now the question is clear: if there is no exam, how can I get the score?

"Why didn't he take the test?"

"He happened to be sick at the time, so I didn't go, which is a pity."

After the head teacher finished speaking, he sighed deeply on the other end of the phone.

"If he was sick and didn't go to the exam, where will he go?" Jiang Yang asked to himself, but the voice still reached the head teacher through the phone.

"You can only ask Chen Yue herself, but I think he was probably unwell on the way to the examination room, so he rushed home as soon as possible."

"Really?"

"Otherwise, where else can we go?"

"Thank you, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, my sister got up from the bed and propped her legs under the edge of the bed, "What do you say?" She asked.

"He didn't go to the exam at all" Jiang Yang replied: "In this way, no matter how smart he is, he is useless." ”

"Didn't go to the exam!" The younger sister repeated.

"It seems that I was very sick at the time." Jiang Yang felt sad for Chen Yue. The results are so great, and the bright future is ruined in the hands of the disease, which is really pitiful.

"It's unfortunate, it's unfortunate!" Xiao Ai shouted.
