Chapter 80: A Late Rite of Passage
Guo Feng was stopped staying in the dormitory, and he didn't tell his family. But when calling home, his mother still asked Guo Feng whether his living expenses were enough. After all, in the past three years of high school, this is the first time Guo Feng has heard his mother ask him about his living expenses. I also guessed that my mother might know about this, but I didn't say it myself, so my mother didn't ask too much. But he still received the information of bank card transfer, which also warmed Guo Feng's heart.
Every senior year of high school has its own coming-of-age ceremony. The coming-of-age ceremony of the second high school was postponed due to some work arrangements last year. I thought that this year's situation would not be made up again. However, the school reported the relevant activities to the Education Bureau and received approval from the school. This also makes this coming-of-age ceremony, which was not held last year, be rescheduled during this special period.
"Students, the purpose of our coming-of-age ceremony this time is to let you have a clearer goal, for our parents, but also for ourselves!" At Wednesday's evening self-study, Lao Liang rarely vacated a class and talked to his classmates.
"I know that everyone is under a lot of pressure right now, but we need to know that the bitterness of the present is for the sweetness of the future! Let's not regret that we don't have a struggle now after the college entrance examination. You must know that a person, as long as he works hard, is the best! As long as you do your best for this one thing, then there is nothing to say about the result, good or bad. Liang Zhengsheng looked at the pairs of eager eyes below and said this paragraph.
That's true. Guo Feng also has such an idea about the college entrance examination, so he doesn't have too much pressure. I don't want some classmates in the class to study hard because of excessive pressure, and before they go to the battlefield, they have already collapsed and gone home to recuperate.
"Guo Feng, as a squad leader, do you have anything to say to everyone? By the way, let's talk about it, with the consent of the grade department, Guo Feng will serve as the oath taker. After listening to Zong Yi's opinion, Liang Zhengsheng glanced at everyone, asked Guo Feng to make relevant opinions, and informed Guo Feng of the decision to serve as the oath taker.
"What about me, how to say. All I can say is that everyone is working hard right now! We are all fighting for one goal and competing on the same platform. There is nothing to say, everyone is working hard, and I personally see a lot of classmates who are fighting at night and racing against time. I also saw the scene where I couldn't bear it because of too much pressure and cried. But for now, I want to tell everyone, no matter what, don't give up! When we go all the way, we stumble, and three years of hard study cannot be lost. Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person! I would like to encourage you together. Guo Feng didn't know what he said. He can say whatever he can think of. This rare serious speech made Liang Zhengsheng even more interested. The students below listened to the class leader's words one by one, and the perseverance in their eyes became more solemn.
The next class committee members and representatives of various subjects made speeches, which made the class more firm in their minds at such an important moment. Liang Zhengsheng didn't expect it, and it was precisely because of this whim that he helped himself in future matters.
Early on Friday morning, the sun rises in the east, and its path is bright. Parents register in front of the school gate according to the sign of their child's class, and arrive at the child's class one by one after being guided by volunteers. After discussing with Guo Feng's family, they also vetoed his brother's coming-of-age ceremony, and his mother personally decided to go by herself, and took a three-month break to accompany Guo Feng in the final sprint.
"Mom, you go back with these people in our class first, and I'll go over after I finish registering." greeted a few buddies from the student union and told them that this was their mother, and when a few people heard it, they immediately called out to their aunts, and four or five people followed their mothers to class eight.
At ten o'clock in the morning, each class entered, Guo Feng waved the flag of the eighth class, and led the eighth class into the venue. At 10:30, the school leaders entered the venue and the audience gave a standing ovation. At the suggestion of the assistant principal, the parents of the students and the school leaders took their seats.
"I announce, the rite of passage, officially begins! The first item is to raise the national flag, play the national anthem, and everyone stands! Pay attention! "When the national anthem is played, all eyes are on the national flag and move with the national flag until the national flag is raised.
"The second item, eighteen salutes, cannon fire!" The school also had enough money to rent eighteen electronic cannons, and the eighteen cannons rang out eighteen times, and the roaring sound showed the solemnity of this moment.
"The third item is to invite Li Gongqiu, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the school, to speak." Principal Li stood up, waved to the students, and finished his speech. He raised expectations and concerns for the third year of high school, and said that he would do his best to help the third year of high school students prepare for the exam and ensure that the students are in a stable environment.
"Next, everyone says to their parents, you, hard work!" The Principal's Secretary moved on to the next activity – thanking parents. Guo Feng turned to face his mother, looking at his mother's aging face, a trace of whiteness appeared, but he still looked indifferent to himself, and he had always been cheerful, happy, and brave in front of him. Thinking about the bits and pieces of his past thirteen years, Guo Feng suddenly had endless emotions in his heart, looked up at his mother, bowed deeply, and said tremblingly with two lines of tears: "Mom~ You have worked hard!" Mother also felt that Guo Feng had grown up and held Guo Feng deeply in her arms. This hug has been thirteen years since the last time Guo Feng went to elementary school.
"Now, please swear an oath to me! Raise your right fists and take the oath together! Guo Feng walked on the stage, and his mother looked at her son with her head held high, and smiled with relief.
"The terrain is kun, Tianxingjian." "The terrain is kun, Tianxingjian." Everyone swore an oath that shook all directions, and then swore together: "Gather five lakes far away, and put three arms in the eaves." Wear a hairpin and wear a crown, and aim high.
The rope is broken, the water and stone are worn, and the soil is accumulated into a mountain; Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not resentful, and the rules are square.
Bow down to people, look up to the sky. Wave the ink to the top of the peak, wipe the sword and the great cause is not idle.
Yu Ye left my hands, sent deep on my shoulders, wings and dry, dare to be the first in the world! ”
The momentum was magnificent, and tens of thousands of people shouted together, making the heavens and the earth tremble. After taking the oath, the people did not sit down, the sound of the oath echoed in the vast world, they were listening to their words, firming their hearts, and their hearts were pounding.
