On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, it was a sunny day.

Today is the day to go to school to get your report card.

Xue Yuantong didn't stay in bed, and as soon as Jiang Ning entered the kitchen, he saw her riding a small pony, her eyes fixed on the pot on the stove.

Aunt Gu opened the lid, the water vapor rose out, and the fragrance of her face came out, Xue Yuantong wanted to stretch out her hand, but she was afraid that it would be hot.

"Jiang Ning, you're here." Aunt Gu said hello.

Jiang Ning nodded, three meals a day this semester, he almost all ate at Xue Yuantong's house, Jiang Ning didn't eat for nothing, he often bought vegetables, Aunt Gu or Xue Yuantong cooked, and he was responsible for washing the dishes.

He asked, "Aunt Gu, didn't you go to work today?" ”

"I'll be there later today." Aunt Gu said a word and continued to cook.

This morning's meal was relatively simple, steamed buns with water, fried edamame with pickles and shredded pork, and candied date rice soup.

In the kitchen, the three of them sat down around a small table, and there were bowls on the table, and the heat in the bowl floated from the bottom to the top in front of Xue Yuantong's face.

In the heat, she held a hot, soft water steamed bun in her hand, and with the other hand, she flipped it and folded the round steamed bun into a semicircle.

Holding chopsticks, she took some pickles and shredded pork edamame, put them on the steamed bun, arranged them evenly in long strips, and then carefully rolled them.

In this way, you can eat vegetables and steamed buns at the same time, which is very enjoyable.

Xue Yuantong looked left, her mother had already rolled one, she looked right, Jiang Ning was eating dates.

"Jiang Ning, I'll give you the steamed bun I worked so hard to roll!" Xue Yuantong was kind.

"So good?" Jiang Ning is a little strange, in the past, when she ate, she didn't compete with herself, even if it was okay, today she is so generous.

He wondered, "The sun is coming out in the west?" ”

"Just say if you want it!"

"Yes." Jiang Ning received it.

"What do you see me doing?" Xue Yuantong saw his eyes strange, "Eat quickly." ”

Jiang Ning took a bite, and the taste of the steamed bun was strong and delicious.

Xue Yuantong's eyes were crooked, Jiang Ning had accepted her favor, so when she came back with her report card, she would have an excuse to play with the computer in Jiang Ning's room.

Play with confidence!

After eating, Jiang Ning planned to wash the dishes, but Aunt Gu said that there was hot water, and she would wash it, urging the two to go to school.

Jiang Ning saw that Aunt Gu insisted on her attitude and went out to push the cart.

He pushed the car outside, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who had returned from working outside in the open space shouted at Jiang Ning:

"Where's the buddy?"

"Go to school and get your report card." Jiang Ning said.

"I thought you were on vacation." After speaking, the young man said in the tone of the person who came over:

"It's good to go to school, it's promising."

This was a bit difficult to answer, and Jiang Ning didn't answer.

The young man became interested in the conversation: "If it weren't for the fact that I'm older now, I really want to go back to school." ”

"It's good now." Jiang Ning said.

The young man still wanted to speak, but Xue Yuantong came out of the house, and she shouted:

"Jiang Ning, let's go."

"Gone." Jiang Ning left a sentence and pushed the cart to find Xue Yuantong.

……

No. 4 Middle School Campus.

Ma Shicheng walked on the main road of the campus.

The horse started very early, in fact, he didn't know why he got up so early.

Maybe last night, his parents nagged about his grades, and he couldn't be at peace, or maybe he was very concerned about his grades, he was a student after all.

Ma Shicheng is still looking forward to the results of this final exam.

Immediately, Ma Shicheng felt that he was very bad, he had obviously played for a semester, and during the unified examination, he submitted the papers in advance, so why could he get good results?

However, he always longed for a miracle to happen.

Although he only wrote multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions in the math exam, as well as the first three big questions, what if he got it all right?

In this way, there will be more than 100 points in math alone!

Or, did he get a full score in his Chinese composition this time?

Long Long can create miracles, then he can't.

Thinking about these things, Ma Shicheng's self-confidence gradually regained, although he was addicted to playing games all semester, but his junior high school foundation is still there, even if he doesn't study much, at least he can rank middle in the class, right?

He didn't play well last time, and he was in the bottom ten of the class, and this time, Ma Shicheng has absolute confidence, and he is definitely better than last time.

Last time, he was fifth from the bottom, and now there are Wu Xiaoqi, and Song Sheng, who was discharged from the hospital not long ago, there are two people at the bottom, as long as he keeps his results unchanged, he will inevitably climb to the bottom seventh.

And Ma Shicheng thought about it carefully, and felt that he did well in the final unified examination that day.

Ma Shicheng kept cheering himself up, encouraging himself with various reasons, and gradually, he was about to believe it.

Ma Shicheng walked confidently and came all the way to the front of the teaching building.

He saw the square in front of the teaching building, where a dozen or so students were scattered.

Ma Shicheng often stays up late to play games on his mobile phone, but he has a good foundation and has never been short-sighted.

At a glance, he saw that the display board that was erected on the ground was slightly tilted, and there were two big red flowers on the edge of the display board, and it was very festive.

The layout is covered with many white forms.

It was a report card display board, and for the first monthly exam, the school also announced the results to all students.

Ma Shicheng clenched his fists, his tense legs trembled, he took a deep breath, and the pimples on his forehead bloomed again.

He's an invincible brother!

Just a few grades, a little thing!

He held his head high and strode over to the panel.

His aura is strong and fierce, and the two female classmates on the side can't help but list their places for him.

Ma Shicheng stood still in front of the display board, like a king patrolling the territory.

He skimmed through the grade ranking table and went straight to the class ranking table where Class 8 was located.

This time, let me see how many I am! ’

Ma Shicheng has a thousand red dusts in his heart, and he has a great cause.

He raised his head and swept from top to bottom, Xue Yuantong, the first place in class eight, and Jiang Ning, the second place.

After only looking at two names, Ma Shicheng stopped moving, and he thought:

'Coming up with my name from the front to the back means that my ranking will continue to drop and my disappointment will grow;

And looking for my name from the back to the front means that my ranking will be more and more close, and the surprise will be bigger and bigger. ’

'The wisdom of life should be counted from the back to the front!' ’

Ma Shicheng felt that he had understood, and he moved his gaze to the bottom of the eighth class report card, with a warm smile on his face.

His gaze followed, and his eyes were bright and full of dazzling light, like the imposing king of beasts.

It's just that this look, Ma Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at it again, and there was a burst of Weng Ming in his head:

'What's going on, I'm the first one to last?' ’

'I'm the bottom of the eighth shift!' ’

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! ’

'What about Wu Xiaoqi and Song Sheng? ’

'Are they playing me?' ’

Ma Shicheng cheered up again, counting from the bottom to the top, his gaze swept over most of the tables, and finally found Song Sheng, who was ninth in the class.

Subsequently, Ma Shicheng found Wu Xiaoqi in the third position.

What the hell?

Why do they get such a high ranking?

Isn't it a guy who has never played basketball and never attended classes, and who has been hospitalized for several months?

Ma Shicheng couldn't believe it, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, he can only accept this fact, the first from the bottom is the first from the bottom.

Ma Shicheng stood in place, the bright light in his eyes gradually dimming.

His standing figure is like a quietly erected performance display board.

One person, one board, opposite to each other, relatively speechless, like a couple whose relationship has broken down and fallen into a cold war.

After a long time, there are more and more students looking at their grades, and the position occupied by Ma Shicheng is very conspicuous, blocking the sight of others, and someone urged:

"Classmate, you should finish reading, can you please let me go?"

Ma Shicheng silently moved aside.

Then, the front of the results display board was occupied by other students again, and the students who looked at the results gathered like a tide.

Ma Shicheng was squeezed away, he moved outside again, and finally, he moved out of the crowd.

He stared at the crowd, at the look on their faces, the excitement, the joy, the ostentation, the confidence, all of which had nothing to do with him, he seemed like an outsider.

Ma Shicheng was clearly standing under the light, but he was full of gloom.

At the sixteenth of that year, in front of the score board, he stood like a minion.
