After getting off the bus, the two agreed to meet at the bus stop tomorrow morning, and then go to school together for the exam, and Shi Jiajun and Kim Zhihao went home separately.

The street is still the same street, the building is still the same building, even the broken street lamp has not changed, Jin Zhihao is standing at the door of his house, he wanted to knock on the door gently, but as soon as he raised his hand, there was a "dong dong" sound, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Squeak."

The wooden door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her forties appeared in Kim Ji-ho's sight, and she reprimanded while opening the door: "What is the noise, the whole building can hear your voice, such an adult, I don't know that I have a key." ”

"It's still a familiar recipe, it's still a familiar taste." Kim Ji-ho grinned, thinking to himself.

He was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but when his mother Zhang Xiuqin opened her mouth, she suddenly pulled him back to his memory ten years ago, and the mode of getting along has not changed.

Under the old lady's fierce gaze, Jin Zhihao didn't feel anything, but felt that the living room was too stuffy, so he went straight to the sofa and found the remote control of the air conditioner.

"It's so hot in the house, I don't know how to turn on the air conditioner."

"As soon as I come back, I know how to blow the air conditioner and enjoy it." Zhang Xiuqin said about her son, but she took out half an iced watermelon from the refrigerator in her hand.

Jin Zhihao saw the iced watermelon and grinned: "My mother still loves me." ”

"There's only one mouth left." Zhang Xiuqin didn't have a good temperament, and then admonished, "You can't eat it all, be careful of bad stomach, there will be an exam tomorrow." ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when Jin Zhihao mentions the exam, he can't help but start to have a headache.

Yes, there are two optional tests tomorrow, how should I live?

"Mom, I'm going to read a book to review, and I'll call me when the meal is ready."

Jin Zhihao is also a man of action, and after munching on half a piece of watermelon, he hurriedly went back to his bedroom.

Zhang Xiuqin looked at her son's room with a worried face, "Zhihao, don't put too much pressure on yourself before the exam, pay attention to proper rest and relaxation." ”

"Got it, Mom."

At the dinner table, Jin Zhihao was a little surprised that his father Jin Jianlin had not come back for a long time, and asked with some doubts: "Where is Lao Jin?" ”

Zhang Xiuqin glanced at her son and explained simply: "In the countryside, he can't get out of the country and won't come back at night." ”

"Country?"

The chopsticks in Jin Zhihao's hand suddenly paused, and he suddenly remembered that today was the second day of the college entrance examination, and it was the day of his grandmother's death.

In order not to affect his college entrance examination, even if he didn't have time to take the exam this morning, his family didn't let him go back to the countryside to send his grandmother on the last trip, so there was a scene where he was at the bus stop at noon after he borrowed wine to kill his sorrows.

Kim Ji-ho ate silently, recalling the old memories that were almost forgotten in his mind.

He spent his childhood at his grandparents' house in the countryside, and it was not until he entered junior high school that his parents' jobs were stable, and he returned to his parents from the countryside.

Grandpa's personality is a little mean and selfish towards everyone, including treating Jin Zhihao's own grandson who is not very obedient, and even deducting the pocket money that his parents give Jin Zhihao every month to buy himself alcohol.

On the contrary, the grandmother who is not in charge of the house is very doting on Jin Zhihao, a little grandson who likes to be naughty and mischievous, never beats and scolds, and always secretly carries the pocket money that his grandfather gave him a few dollars when he goes to school, and she hides a small treasury that her grandfather doesn't know, only she and Jin Zhihao know.

When Jin Zhihao was in elementary school, his grandfather drank too much and had an accident, and he left without being rescued in the hospital, and he didn't have too deep feelings for his grandfather at that time, plus he was young at the time, and he didn't know how to live and die, so naturally he didn't have too much sadness.

But when he took the college entrance examination, his grandmother, who insisted on living in the countryside, had an accident and left without any warning, which made Jin Zhihao, who was under great pressure from the college entrance examination, confused. Originally, as long as he played steadily in the college entrance examination, he could be admitted to 985 colleges and universities, but his English performance was seriously abnormal, and he only got B in the two optional tests.

Zhang Xiuqin noticed her son's sudden gloomy mood, and comforted her softly: "You don't have to think about anything now, take the exam with peace of mind, and when you finish the exam tomorrow, I will go back to the countryside with you to send your grandmother." ”

Kim Ji-ho nodded and did not speak. He has already experienced a death farewell, and his current mentality is far more mature than back then, although it is inevitable that there will be some irrepressible sadness in his heart, but he can always accept it calmly.

After eating, Kim Ji-ho returned to his bedroom to continue his revision of history and geography, the two optional subjects to be taken tomorrow.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky in Cloud City was already bright, Jin Zhihao stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, he thought that he would have a chance to return to 2022 when he woke up, but when he turned his head and saw the high school textbook and workbook at the bedside, he was also dead.

"Looks like we're going to stay here."

Jin Zhihao sighed, and then began to brush his teeth and wash his face, Zhang Xiuqin was woken up by the movement outside the door, and took a look after getting up: "Why do you get up so early?" Didn't the exam start at 9 o'clock? ”

"I'll get up first and read a book for a while." Kim Ji-ho muttered in reply.

"Don't be too nervous, or you go to sleep for a while, you slept so late last night, I'll call you again when breakfast is ready, don't go to the exam room and lose energy."

Jin Zhihao ate a lot of breakfast, fragrant rice porridge, fried dough sticks that his mother bought downstairs, and at the request of his mother, Jin Zhihao ate two more eggs, in order to take a good meaning.

After breakfast, Zhang Xiuqin squinted on the sofa for a while and went to work, today is Sunday, normally she doesn't have to go to work, but this week is catching up with her shift.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Kim Zhihao went downstairs to the nearby bus stop, where Shi Jiajun was already waiting.

Sitting on the bus that does not charge candidates during the college entrance examination, Jin Zhihao returned to the place that carried the memories of his three years of youth, walked in the familiar and unfamiliar campus, and looked at the surrounding scenes, Jin Zhihao couldn't help but sigh:

"This all represents our memories of more than a thousand years, but unfortunately Lao Tzu has graduated, and it is estimated that he will not even be able to enter the school gate tomorrow."

"More than a thousand days and moons, more than a thousand years doesn't mean that you have been here for more than a thousand years?" Shi Jiajun was still correcting on the side.

"In the past, Lao Tzu spent his days in class like years, understand?" Kim Ji-ho explained to him.

Shi Jiajun was a little surprised when he heard this.

"I didn't expect you, a top student, to have this kind of mentality."

"This mentality has little to do with whether you study well or not, and also, don't call me any more scholars in the future, make me embarrassed, I guess this college entrance examination Lao Tzu is not as good as you."

Jin Zhihao teased Shi Jiajun and said in a relaxed tone.

"Xiaojin, this is not done yet, don't discourage yourself first, before the scores come out, no one knows who will do well in the exam, maybe there will be a surprise then." Shi Jiajun encouraged his good friends.

"Huh."

Jin Zhihao didn't respond again, he had already expected his college entrance examination results, and it was likely to be lower than the previous score, the only thing to be thankful for was that only one English was smashed at present.

If you're just in time for the math exam, that's really cool.

Therefore, he does not have high requirements for today's two optional exams, so if he reviews for one night, he will need two B grades, which is not too much.
