Chapter X
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the end of the term, and Zou Shun will take the exam before he is ready, of course, he doesn't know what it means to be prepared. A few days before the exam, teachers of various subjects stretched out their claws to students, and in their claws were test papers. When Zou Shun saw so many test papers, he immediately lost half of his anger, he has done a lot of usually, is it useful to do these things now?
Suddenly, he began to wonder if it was useful for the teacher to send so many test papers. In the end, he resolutely gave up the test papers, began to sort out the things that should be reviewed in each subject, and made his own review plan.
Language: Look at the memorization of words and verses, and read other essays and so on, and you can only look at the destiny of heaven.
Mathematics: Read more wrong questions, strive to make no more mistakes if you miss them, and understand every question.
English: Review words
Biology, History, Geography: Read the book again, read the notes again, take out the test papers you have done and read them again.
Politics: Play on the spot.
Summary: Check and fill in the gaps, and review comprehensively.
This was Zou Shun's initial study plan, and after many years, it did seem clumsy, but he had to admit that the habit of writing plans brought great convenience to his future life and became a lifelong friend with him.
Zou Shun was in full swing to review according to his plan, but he didn't know when the review would be good, and he didn't know how much he needed to review, he only knew to read it over and over again, and read everything that should be seen, just to have a psychological comfort.
Reviewing before the exam is like washing clothes in the dark, a person may know where his clothes are dirty, but this requires him to pay attention to the observation, which makes him grope to scrub the stained places over and over again when he is in the dark; If he can't be sure where the stain is, he can only scrub it all, and he doesn't know if it's clean, so he has to wash it over and over again. Many people will lose their goals in the process, after losing their goals, they are at a loss, and the last clothes are still stained, only those who know the goal and have been washing carefully, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the earth, they will find that the clothes in their hands have long been washed as new, exuding fragrance.
The class exam has never added up the seven subjects to calculate the total score, and Zou Shun has never known what level he is at in the class. As for the grade, it is a deep and big puddle, Zou Shun doesn't know how big the pit is, only knows that it is very big, so he has never dared to have a good ranking in the grade.
Although Zou Shun didn't know if he was ready, he had indeed let go in his heart, he had already put in the effort, and the rest could only be handed over to God.
Zou Shun, who was relaxed, ended the final exam, everything was ordinary, just like the usual exam, so that he didn't feel anything after the exam.
It will take three or four days to see the results after the exam, Zou Shun has nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to look forward to, but for biology, Zou Shun still hopes that he can get the first place, because he doesn't want to disappoint Mr. Zhu, as for mathematics, although he is also a class representative, but Mr. Wen is the same for him and all his classmates, so he doesn't need to show good results.
About English, he thinks that now Mr. Li Yue is also quite expectant of him, the world is so interesting, a semester ago he still disliked English classes the most, or the most afraid of English classes, but after half a semester he has liked English, his humorous answers in English classes can often cause the students to laugh.
Sometimes, not liking a person or thing is not because he/she hates it, but because he or she doesn't really get close to him/it, and Zou Shun's English just illustrates this.
Sometimes, grades determine interests, and interests react on grades, and the two are interdependent and interrelated. But what if you don't know anything? Take English as an example, when he first came into contact, Zou Shun also didn't know anything, he had no grades and no interest at that time, what should I do? Leave it to the flow like most students do?
When you are new to new things, it is best to have a heart of awe, so that you are more likely to make achievements, and the results will be interested, so that you will like it more and more.
In the few days of waiting for the notice, Zou Shun reviewed his experience of a semester, except for meeting Meng Chao, the plague god, everything else was fine, because Meng Chao and Yin Fuyou came to harass from time to time, sometimes with a group of people, sometimes only two or three, but every time they were always persuaded to leave, even if no one persuaded them, they would leave after a while, it seemed that their purpose was not to beat Zou Shun, but to have nothing to do and have some fun.
Thanks to Meng Chao, Zou Shun met a person - Xu Lihong, who had a great influence on Zou Shun's thoughts, even if they would have to go their separate ways in the near future. Zou Shun and Xu Lihong can talk very well, although the two usually don't talk much, but Zou Shun knows that under Xu Lihong's behavior, he has a down-to-earth and righteous heart, and he is always a big brother.
As for Xiao Peng, there are no extra words between the two now, it seems that there is an invisible net that nets the two of them, separating them, the net seems to be light and thin, but it is actually tough.
As for the others, Zou Shun still remembers a girl - Zhang Huiyin - Zou Shun saw the girl with freckles on her face for the first time. Originally, there was very little intersection between the two of them, just a geography class, Zou Shun looked for the stubble of the geography teacher Jiang Ao as usual, the teacher couldn't bear it, so he called Zou Shun to the first row by the window to stand and listen to the class, and the teacher asked Zou Shun at that time: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Zou Shun replied with a playful attitude: "When I was a child, my head was stuck in the door. At that time, Zhang Huiyin was sitting in the first row, Zou Shun was standing in front of her, as soon as she heard this answer, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, although the whole class laughed at that time, maybe Zhang Huiyin was too close, Zou Shun remembered her laughter very clearly. In that class, Zou Shun stood in front and chatted happily with Zhang Huiyin and her tablemates.
Speaking of Zhang Huiyin's table mate at that time, I have to mention that his name is Li Bin, with a fair-skinned face, which often makes those girls ashamed of themselves, although it is not particularly handsome, but the fair face with the three-and-a-half-year-old mind has to make people feel pity. Therefore, many girls in the grade accepted him as a younger brother, of course he would not refuse, so he got the nickname: "National Brother-in-law", many of his brothers-in-law often call him Bingbing, and the warped tongue is called particularly long and thin, and it is particularly soft, it sounds very weird, it seems to be calling his dream lover in general, and in the end, many irrelevant people will also call him nicknamed "Bingbing", of course, there are more simple and rude, directly call him brother-in-law. Among his many sisters, there is one more special - Wen Yue, because the two of them are not casual brothers and sisters, but are related by blood, Wen Yue is Li Bin's cousin.
In short, since that class, Zou Shun always felt that Zhang Huiyin took the initiative to approach him intentionally or unintentionally, at that age, every child is extremely sensitive, and they all want to express themselves and compete for the attention of the opposite sex, so for the slightest subtle changes in themselves by the opposite sex, children of that age can be perceived, even if the changes are subtle. It's just that it is unknown whether that change is the kind of change that Zou Shun had in mind.
Young children always have infinite energy, even if most of them are not familiar with hormones at that time, but the yearning for the opposite sex in their bones is difficult to hide.
Junior high school life is full of hardships and sorrows, sometimes happy to forget yourself, sometimes sad to complain about, sometimes lamenting that the time is too short and the joy is not long, sometimes indignant that the days are too long, bitter and difficult. But no matter what kind of life Zou Shun lives, he has always had a pure land in his heart, which is difficult for outsiders to know, and he doesn't often think about it, but does not often think about it, does it mean forgetting? No! There are things that don't always appear in the mind, and that's because they are engraved in their bones, stored in their marrow, and flowing in their blood. Wang Jie, he has always been reluctant to mention it, but he has to think about it. He didn't know how the old dog would treat her, and he didn't know if she would gradually disappear from his mind in the stars, he only knew that at the age of twelve or thirteen, he couldn't erase her figure in his mind.
Finally came the day to get the notice, although Zou Shun didn't have any expectations for the results, it didn't mean that he didn't have the confidence to get the notice, if he was lucky, he might be able to take a look at her when he passed by Wang Jie's house.
When he and Xiao Peng walked to the door of the classroom, just about to go in, they met a classmate who was not usually very familiar with him, and he said with a smile: "Zou Shun, congratulations, you have taken the first grade." Zou Shun glanced at him, listened to his tone, combined with his expression, Zou Shun instantly judged that he was lying to himself, and only threw him a sentence of "You continue to blow", and then stepped into the classroom with Xiao Peng.
As soon as I entered the classroom, I found a group of people gathered in a corner, discussing in a low voice, some people tried their best to control their emotions and did not say a word, some people tried their best to control their joy and try to behave naturally, and some people chatted with their peers about which subject was higher than their expectations and which subjects were lower than their expectations. Zou obediently followed their expressions and guessed that they were looking at the report card.
Although Zou Shun also wanted to go and see, but when he saw so many people, he thought about it and went again later, but at this time, Feng Zongwei came over, he had just squeezed out of the crowd. Seeing Zou Shun, he walked over and said in a flat tone: "I didn't expect you kid to be so powerful and get the first place in the grade." ”
This is the second time Zou Shun has heard this today, he knows that Feng Zongwei will not joke about this, but he is still incredulous, and asks, "You kid won't make fun of me, right?" ”
Feng Zongwei saw that Zou Shun didn't believe him, so he replied coyly: "Believe it or not." ”
When Zou Shun saw him like this, he knew that this was probably true, and when he saw his gloomy look again, he thought that his grades must be unsatisfactory, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
When Zou Shun just wanted to get up and take a look at his results, the head teacher Lin Yujun came in. After she came in, she talked a lot, and Zou Shun only remembered one sentence: "I believe you have also read the report card, and our class did well, especially Zou Shun, who took the first ...... of the grade."
Originally, it was a simple look at the grades, and Zou Shun was able to look at it calmly before, but after he knew that he was the first in the grade, he didn't dare to look at it, just because he was afraid that his classmates would say that he was too happy and too concerned about his grades, so he was embarrassed to look at it openly.
Zou Shun's problem has fallen since elementary school, the final exam of the fifth grade, after the exam to get a notice, the top three prizes of the year are a schoolbag, at that time has not gone to the playground to gather, but a few teachers have successively put the schoolbag on the rostrum, Zou Shun They were ordered by the teachers to go back to the classroom to sit. But where can that group of children sit still, it is inevitable to play crazy, and it is inevitable to jump up and down on the table when they are fighting, Zou Shun jumps up and down on the table like a soldier who has practiced countless times, and his body is very skillful. However, just when he was about to jump down one of the times, maybe a butterfly happened to fly by outside the window and grabbed his sight, or maybe the sunlight outside the window was just right, faintly sprinkled through the mottled shadows of the trees, and sprinkled into his eyes, or the busy figures of the teachers outside the window attracted him, in short, he stopped his eyes on the window for a second, just because of this second, a classmate below said: "Zou Shun, are you looking at your schoolbag?" God knows how aggrieved, ashamed, and angry Zou Shun was in his heart at that time.
Later, Zou didn't dare to focus on the prize by the way - if the prize had his own share, he didn't even dare to look at the transcript openly, I don't know if it was a blessing from that classmate.
In the end, Zou Shun glanced at the report card before leaving school, and only saw that his name was the first, and he didn't even look at the grades, of course, the results could be seen in his notice.
On the way home, Zou Shun had only one thought: he could do it!
The holiday days were very boring, and Zou Shun didn't know what he was doing, but time just went by.
Luckily, it's winter vacation, and in a few days he'll be back at school and seeing those lovely people. Half a year ago, he was still reluctant when he wanted to sign up, but half a year later, he actually began to like this junior high school life, like the free and uncontrolled life, but as long as he thought of Wang Jie and the former love scene, he couldn't help but sigh, just like betraying the person he loved.
Wang Jie is now in the fifth grade, and her grades are still the same as before, ranking among the best for a long time, but the competition in her class is much fiercer, the competition mainly occurs between three girls and three boys, these six people also danced together on the last Children's Day, to be honest, these three pairs can really be said to be talented and beautiful, the man is handsome, and the daughter is beautiful.
At that time, Zou Shun did not have much good impression of this Children's Day, he thought that he could perform on the same stage with Wang Jie again at this last event, but it backfired, Wang Jie was pulled to dance, and the position of the host was given to another new classmate, and it was difficult for Zou Shun and Wang Jie to get in touch with each other.
During that time, Zou Shun had a very bad time, but there was also joy in suffering, that is, to see Wang Jie and them rehearse the dance, although there was no one in that group, but no matter what, as long as she saw her watery eyes, all worries disappeared, and I felt that only he and her watery eyes were left in the world. If he could, he would just keep watching it quietly......
The past is gone, now Zou Shun looks back on the past, only to feel a blush, at that time he was so thin-faced, in junior high school grinding for half a year, there have been great changes in all aspects, although the mind is not said to be worlds different from before, but it is also worth looking at, see each other again, he will definitely be able to behave generously in front of her.
He was looking forward to a reunion.
This opportunity did not make him wait long, it was a cold and windy day in the first month of the solar calendar, there was no snow in the sky, frost condensed on the ground, and the wind blowing was dry, cold, and very biting, it was a day when it was better not to show other epidermal cells except for the eyes. Although the weather is like this, it is difficult to reduce the enthusiasm of the people who are about to celebrate the New Year, they are full of hope for the future and yearning for a better life, Wang Xiaoxiao's grandmother is one of them. No matter how cold the weather is, it can't reduce the lively atmosphere in Wang Xiaoxiao's grandmother's house, which is not generated out of thin air, but because Wang Xiaoxiao's grandmother's house killed New Year's pigs today.
Killing pigs in the countryside can be regarded as a big thing, farmers are busy from beginning to end of the year, and only the New Year can have a few days of leisure. The pigs are fed by themselves, and they are fed with handfuls of pigweed and bowls of bud flour, which is completely different from the feed pork on the street. According to some elderly people, when life was hard in the past, pigs also had a function, and at that time there was only one pig in the whole community, and there was nothing to eat in the field, so they drove the pigs out, and the pigs walked in front, and they followed behind, and when they saw the pigs eating, they ate whatever they saw. It is difficult to judge whether this story is true or false, but whether it is true or not, it is enough to show the status of pigs in the hearts of rural people.
At that time, there was only one pig in the whole company, but now there are pigs in every household, and although pigs are no longer as scarce and precious as before, people who have come from that era will not forget that era of suffering. Their awe of pork, the prudence of killing the pig can be seen in this, from the beginning of the selection of the auspicious day of the zodiac, to the pig master and the helper, to the end of the killing after the burning of money paper, every link can not be wrong, the day must be selected first, this is the foundation, the pig killer should also choose a skilled person, if you kill a few knives have not been killed, it is also a great taboo, and finally dip the pig's blood to burn money paper to send the pig a ride, the ring buckles, can not make mistakes.
Counting Zou Shun and Wang Xiaoxiao somewhat related, everyone in a village usually looks up and doesn't look down, everyone can find the corresponding title, if there is a kinship, they will naturally be called according to the general generation, and those with the same surname as their parents are called aunts, aunts, uncles, uncles, and those with different surnames are generally referred to as uncles and aunts, which have a lot of knowledge, which has been passed down for thousands of years. But Zou Shun's family and Wang Xiaoxiao's family have some origins, Zou Shun is not clear about things that are too far away, but he can also make clear the facts in front of him, Wang Xiaoxiao's grandmother's surname is Zhou, a generation older than Zou Shun, Zou Shun calls her the second aunt, and Wang Xiaoxiao's mother is the second sister, Wang Xiaoxiao naturally wants to call Zou Shun's uncle.
Since it is a top priority such as killing New Year's pigs, Wang Xiaoxiao's family naturally came to help, and of course, by the way, it can also add a bit of a lively atmosphere. Of course, all of this is thanks to Mr. Yuan Longping, if it weren't for him, hundreds of millions of people in China would still be struggling to eat enough.
Zou's father was really invited to help, but the second aunt still called Zou Shun and Zou's mother to eat, of course, only Zou Shun ate white rice, because Zou's mother can also help in the kitchen, but Zou Shun is also happy.
After eating breakfast and lunch, the second sister sent an invitation to Zou Shun after a while of wanting to speak, the news in the countryside is slow, but it does not necessarily spread slowly, anyway, now almost everyone in the village knows that Zou Shun has taken the first place in the town. On the one hand, she wants to work hard to make money to provide better economic conditions for her children, and on the other hand, she wants to take care of her children's studies.
When the second sister went home for the Chinese New Year, she saw her child's learning situation, so she naturally had to take special care of it, so she invited Zou Shun to tutor Wang Xiaoxiao. But he couldn't learn anything in class, and Zou Shun really didn't believe that he could teach him anything. Although he refused in his heart, he had to agree. Zou Shun told them in advance that he would only spend a few days explaining to Wang Xiaoxiao what he didn't know, and the rest would only depend on himself. This condition was naturally agreed to by them, after all, Zou Shun was not obliged to spend so much time tutoring Wang Xiaoxiao.
Early the next morning, Zou Shun embarked on the road of tutoring for the first time. Fortunately, the questions that Wang Xiaoxiao wants to talk about are relatively simple, although some are also a little difficult, but Zou Shun can still make it after a little thought, Wang Xiaoxiao has all the information, Zou Shun has, because the information of the whole school is the same, only those students with top academic performance and rich family background will have spare money to buy other information books. Since the information of the two is the same, and Zou Shun has done it, it is naturally easy to do it again.
In the evening, after a day of studying, they took a chair and rested in the dam. The weather in the mountains is as changeable as a woman's face, shivering with cold when you wake up in the morning, and there may be a glimmer of sunset in the evening on the horizon.
Zou Shun originally planned to go home early, but he couldn't resist the second sister to leave him for dinner, of course, this is a matter of course. Zou Shun, who was bored, had no choice but to chat with Wang Xiaoxiao in the dam, and he didn't know what Wang Xiaoxiao said, so Zou Shun fell into deep thought, feeling that his gaze was gradually wandering out, and he looked into the distance blankly. I don't know how long it took, maybe it was long, maybe it was short, maybe thirty seconds, maybe five minutes, until Zou Shun's eyes gradually reflected a pretty figure.
Zou Shun woke up suddenly, but it was still difficult to see any change on her face, she slowly approached, into Zou Shun's eyes, and into his heart. I haven't seen her for half a year, her thin and tall figure is still the same as before, her black hair is extremely soft, her hair was only up to her neck before, and now it has poured into her back, shiny and soft, people can't help but want to hold a handful and spread it on her face, smell the fragrance, although the skin is fair, but it is very different from fair, it is a transparent white, it seems to be broken with a snap of her fingers, walking with Nana, looking forward to life.
Is this the person Zou Shun has always been in love with? Yes! She is Wang Jie, the girl who occupies Zou Shun's diary.
Zou Shun had always wanted to treat her like everyone else, but when he really faced her, he realized that he had practiced for so long, trying to make his breathing less rapid when he smelled her, trying to make his eyes less panicked when he saw her, and trying to make his adrenaline not secrete so quickly when she approached, all in vain.
As long as Zou Shun glanced at her, he knew that all his preparations were in vain, and in an instant, his adrenaline secretion accelerated, the blood flow was rapid, and his face was congested. Zou Shun had no choice but to take his eyes off her, and between the electric sparks, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Wang Jie nodding lightly to him, as if to say hello, this small action rippled in his heart round after round, but it deepened Zou Shun's self-blame and shame. Of course, Wang Jie didn't pay attention to these, but walked straight to Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing today? I can't see you all day. ”
Zou Shun listened to her soft voice, and seemed to be a little blamed, but more coquettish, I didn't expect her to have such a side. For a while, Zou Shun was a little envious of Wang Xiaoxiao, Wang Xiaoxiao was younger than Wang Jie and was a relative, and the relationship was naturally much closer, even if he knew the reason, Zou Shun still couldn't help but envy.
Wang Xiaoxiao half-jokingly replied: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to come to you to play, the key is that my mother wants me to tutor." Do you have any questions that you can't have? Even if I came to ask Ah Shun, he was the first in our grade, and there was no such shop in this village. When Zou Shun heard it, he felt that this sentence was too informative, and when he heard that the town was the first, he subconsciously wanted to be modest, although he didn't know what to be modest, but when he heard that he was going to give Wang Jie a lecture, he was a little dumbfounded for a while, and wanted to refute it, but the two questions were in front of him, and he didn't know which one to refute for a while, so he had to say that Wang Xiaoxiaojing likes to say something nonsensical.
Zou Shun was still at a loss, only to hear Wang Jie say: "Xiaoxiao, don't add a burden to others, it's already tiring enough to give you a lecture, I'm only in the fifth grade, and those questions are not too difficult." Don't bother. Zou Shun's heart was relieved, but at the same time, there was also loss in his heart, and for a while he complained a little to himself, why can't he work hard? He knew the reason, it was that he was too afraid, afraid to talk to Wang Jie alone, afraid to face to face with Wang Jie, this was his current predicament, eager to be close and afraid to be close.
Just when Zou Shun was listening to them chatting, Wang Xiaoxiao's mother appeared unexpectedly, and naturally asked them to eat.
The first day of tutoring ended like this, and the following days were the same, except that she never saw Wang Jie again, and it seemed that since that night, she disappeared in front of Zou Shun's eyes like a bubble in the sun.
