When Gu Yu took the high school entrance examination, he happened to meet the 1998 World Cup.

FIFA World Cup '98 was the 16th FIFA World Cup, which took place from June 10 to July 12, 1998 at 10 stadiums in 10 French cities.

At the opening ceremony, the theme song "go go go oh le oh le oh le, go go go oh le...... the Latin drum beat was full of enthusiasm.

The World Cup theme song "Cup of Life" sung by Ricky Martin flew across the world through the airwaves, sweeping the top of the charts in more than 30 countries around the world.

The passionate and energetic Ricky Martin is known and recognized by people all over the world, and his exaggerated body language and sexy hips that keep shaking have earned him the title of "King of Hip Rocking" in Latin.

Gu Yu and several other buddies are fans.

In order not to affect the high school entrance examination, Gu Yu and a few buddies discussed with their parents, they were more serious in their studies than usual, but they should be allowed to watch the ball game for a period of time at noon and evening every day.

Due to the rapid improvement of their buddies' grades in the past year, Gu Yu's grandparents and several other parents are very open-minded, and everyone lives close to each other, so they can get together to watch the game, which also relieves their pressure to study, which is conducive to the exam.

Before the high school entrance examination, Gu Yu got a large number of mock test papers of Minghai No. 1 Middle School from Liu Zimeng.

The brothers practiced and solved problems together intensively, and even in the end, if they didn't understand something, they simply went to the dormitory of the Minghai City Song and Dance Troupe to find Liu Zimeng to solve their doubts......

Liu Zimeng's mother, Xiao Fang, is also warmly received every time.

After finishing the last political exam on the afternoon of June 15, Gu Yu and the others were relieved and felt good.

After coming out of the examination room, the brothers came to the Jiefang Bridge at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and threw all the books, mock test papers, and reference materials in the schoolbag into the river!

"Hooray, we can finally watch the World Cup!"

June 25 is the day when the results of the high school entrance examination are announced.

On this morning, Gu Yu and the monkeys, meat balls, kingfishers and others came to the campus early.

As soon as they stepped into the campus gate, in front of the blackboard at the door, they bumped into Mr. Hu, the director of the teaching office.

This teacher, who has always scared the students with his seriousness, hugged Gu Yu after seeing him, smiled and said loudly:

"Gu Yu, congratulations! You scored 703 points, first in the whole grade! It's really surprising, congratulations, congratulations, your Minghai No. 1 Middle School is no problem! ”

703 points, although it is not a few points different from the score he predicted before, but after hearing this score, Gu Yu still felt very happy.

Along the way, every teacher or school leader in the school would stop and happily chat with him after seeing Gu Yu, and say a few words of encouragement and congratulations.

Walking into the classroom, the head teacher, Zhao Xiuling, was already smiling from ear to ear.

In this high school entrance examination, the 303 class she taught achieved a bumper harvest.

Gu Yu, 703 points, first in the grade;

Lin Feiyan, 691 points, 10th in the grade;

"Qianmi" Hou Ziyu scored 621 points, ranking 5th in the class;

"Meat Ball" Ruan Tanhui scored 612 points, ranking 7th in the class;

"Kingfisher" Cui Yiming scored 595 points, ranking 10th in the class......

According to the volunteer, Gu Yu and Lin Feiyan got their wish and were both promoted to Minghai No. 1 High School, and the minimum admission score of Minghai No. 1 High School this year is 659 points.

Hou Ziyu was admitted to Minghai No. 2 Middle School and High School, which is a key middle school in the city, second only to Minghai No. 1 Middle School.

"Meat Ball" Ruan Tanhui was admitted to Minghai Mechanical Secondary Vocational School and became a secondary school student, and after graduation, he was a national cadre who ate imperial grain.

"Kingfisher" Cui Yiming was admitted to Minghai Fisheries School and was also a glorious secondary school student.

The squad leader Liu Beibei has not changed from her previous life, and after being recommended by the school, she was admitted to Minghai Secondary Normal School in advance......

Gu Yu's old classmates in the countryside, Tang Yiqiu's sister Tang Zixia, scored 701 points in the high school entrance examination this year, and she also entered Minghai No. 1 High School as she wished.

Tang Anhong's results were the same as in his previous life, he scored 412 points in the exam and entered Minghai Tourism Vocational High School to study cooking.

Tang Wenbin and Tang Wubin's two brothers' high school entrance examination results were a mess, and they couldn't even reach the worst vocational high school score......

On the evening of June 25, the day I got the report card, after eating, Gu Yu's pager received a message from the landline phone of Liu Zimeng's home: "Great talent, the score is out, how many points?" ”

On the same day, my grandfather and grandmother sent two baskets of fresh bayberry picked from their own bayberry trees from the countryside.

Bayberry is a local specialty fruit in Minghai City, and the ripening season of bayberry is in mid to late June every year.

Generally, the red and black bayberry varieties on the market are the mainstay.

Everything is always rare and expensive, white bayberry is called crystal bayberry in Minghai locally, it not only has very high requirements for soil, but also is relatively easy to drop fruit, belongs to the precious and rare varieties of bayberry.

There are five poplar trees handed down from the ancestors in the contracted mountain land of my grandfather, which are more than 100 years old, and are respected as "bayberry in-laws" by the people of this village.

Remembering that Liu Zimeng had helped her a lot this year, and she also had a share of the credit for her achievements, Gu Yu simply brought a basket of bayberry, and after talking to her grandmother, she went directly to Liu Zimeng's house.

Liu Zimeng's family lives in the dormitory area of the Minghai City Song and Dance Troupe.

Although the houses in this dormitory area are old, they are all old villas built with real materials in the past, and they are particularly solid.

And the dormitory area is full of birds and flowers, the garden is very large, and the greenery is particularly good, although a new house was bought outside, but Liu Yuanchao and his wife have been reluctant to move out to live.

"Ding Dong ......" Gu Yu rang the doorbell of Liu Zimeng's house.

"It's a light rain, please come in!" It was Xiao Fang who opened the door, and she was wrapping around her bib and planning to come out to take out the garbage. In the living room, Liu Zimeng was watching TV after eating, and Liu Yuanchao had not yet returned from receiving foreign investment and inspection businessmen at the CITIC International Hotel.

"Auntie, this is the bayberry that our grandmother's family planted ourselves, I just picked it today, and I will give it to you to taste."

Xiao Fang looked at the crystal clear bayberry in the basket and said in surprise: "Wow, bayberry, my favorite!" Thank you, Xiaoyu. ”

When Gu Yu was still changing his shoes at the door, Liu Zimeng, who was lying on the sofa, couldn't wait to ask: "Gu Yu, your transcript should also come out today, how many points did you score?" ”

After eating a sweet and sour bayberry, Xiao Fang also asked with concern: "Yes, Xiaoyu, how are your grades, is it enough for the score line of Minghai No. 1 Middle School?" ”
