Chapter 17: Youth on Fire . School
Cheng Liang began to study intensively to prepare for the high school entrance examination, and various mock exams were as tight as one day at a time.
In May, the school organized a mock joint examination. When the results came out, Cheng Liang was a little proud, and the class ranking rushed to seventh, and the key was that the school ranking returned from about thirty in the last final exam to about fifteen. According to the school's plan, the goal of sprinting five to eight technical secondary schools, about ten key high schools, more than 50 general vocational high schools, and a graduation rate of 90 percent, Cheng Liang's hope of entering that key high school is still quite big.
A month before the exam, Cheng Liang was distracted during the evening self-study, and he was in a trance, not because of the legendary anxiety about the exam, but because of the bickering of the blessed couple when they went home every Saturday.
At the graduation party, Cheng Liang was very depressed, without the excitement of his classmates and the reluctance of the teacher for the previous three years. At the graduation party, the class leader organizes the students and teachers to give a speech or perform a program. The class meeting was very warm, the classroom that was a little dilapidated on weekdays was dressed up, the students also showed their own unique skills, and the teachers who usually don't show their faces very often also made cameo appearances. Mr. Yang, who was a little rustic and dull in physics class on weekdays, pushed the party to a climax with a song comparable to the original song of the northern country. When it was his turn to perform, he stood cold for more than a minute, and at the instigation of a group of classmates, he told a joke that he couldn't even laugh at, and his voice was so small that only three or five around him could hear the ugliness. Before it was over, at the moment of Chengliang's pause, the entertainment committee eagerly announced that he would like to thank Gui Chengliang for his brilliant speech, and the next one will ......
At the end of the party, Mr. Wang, the head teacher, wiped all the chalk words on the blackboard and wrote a long paragraph on the blackboard where she had written for three years......
When Mr. Wang was halfway through writing, the program that was still performing naturally stopped, and everyone invariably looked at the graduation farewell written by Mr. Wang.
There is no title, and the beginning is a quote and adaptation of Xu Zhimo's dream of the covered bridge - come gently, just as I walked gently, waved my hand, and said goodbye to our three years of knowing each other...... If there is fate, after the other year, on the bank of the river, on the top of Ziyun Mountain, we will meet again......
After writing, Mr. Wang turned around and bowed deeply to all of us. When they looked up, the students found that Teacher Wang had burst into tears, and it was the first time for the students to see her affection and sexuality......
After bowing, Teacher Wang didn't say a word, and went to her office with dazzled eyes......
As the door of her office was softly closed, the whole classroom cried, and Cheng Liang was also moved, and Cheng Liang, who usually disturbed the tear ducts at home, squeezed out a few tears......
I finally survived until June 15, and the school was all closed. Because the 16th to vacate the classroom to do the high school entrance examination room, the first and second years of junior high school left the school from the 14th, the third junior high school after dealing with some of the high school entrance examination room, on the 15th after the morning self-study before leaving the school to go home to prepare for some exams.
When he returned home, he went out to work. Chi Lian asked about some exam preparations, and Cheng Liang said that he would take the risk and just wait for the exam. Chi Lian was a little happy and said, That's good, tomorrow there will be a title on the gold list, double percent......
Cheng Liang smiled secretly, six homework, double hundred points, I can't finish graduating, and I also have the title of the gold list, which is the two exams of primary school mathematics......
He didn't correct Chi Lian's words, and turned his head to go about his own business.
At noon, I was blessed to go home and have a meal. Youfu was also very concerned and asked carefully. While sipping rice, Chi Lian talked about the fried pork she prepared for Chengliang. Blessed listened, a little displeased, and shouted: "You cousins, even if you have long hair and short knowledge, this red and hot sun, you may not be able to eat the white fried meat until the evening, and you won't be as bad as tomorrow......"
Chi Lian saw that the dishes she had worked so hard to make were reprimanded, and she was full of unhappiness, so she counted down and was blessed, "Hey, I have long hair and short knowledge, and I am better than your drunkard father......"
Just like that, you said, I quarreled, and turned over the 10,000-year-old account, completely forgetting Cheng Liang's high school entrance examination tomorrow.
After returning to school, Cheng Liang was in a trance during the evening self-study, unable to read at all, and Chi Lian's sharp scolding and Fufu's angry roar always sounded in his ears. After studying at night, Cheng Liang had insomnia, his mind was blank but he couldn't sleep.
Finally, in the middle of the night, he fell asleep groggyly, and woke up twice in his dream......
The second day was a math exam, but the subject that was his specialty was out of standard, and he couldn't remember the formulas that he usually had at his fingertips, and even if he remembered, he couldn't use them to solve problems. Cheng Liang, who answers questions full of books on weekdays, has not written a big question by the end of the exam, let alone checked......
On the 17th and 18th, the situation was better, except for the English delay, the rest of the classes were normal.
On the day of the exam, Youfulai School helped Cheng Liang pack his luggage and go home. In between sorting out his belongings, Youfu tried to ask him about his exam.
Cheng Liang had a black face, and he ignored it.
When he returned home, the father and son were far away one after the other, and sometimes Youfu put down his luggage and stopped to wait for him, but he sat down on the spot and kept a distance of 20 meters at all times......
That time, Cheng Liang hated the blessed couple so much that he even viciously cursed them in his heart to divorce early, or never see them......
The process of waiting for results is difficult.
On the day of the results, Cheng Liang didn't go, it was his brother Cheng Cai, who was a sophomore, who went.
When he came back, Chengcai was a little frightened, and said to Youfu: "My brother is fine in mathematics on weekdays, but this time he scored 70 points, but I am afraid that I will have hope in No. 1 Middle School...... Youfu heard this, stood for a moment, and then turned back silently......
The pre-recorded notice of the high school technical secondary school came out, and there was no name of Cheng Liang. Youfu discussed with the little uncle and brother, and the little uncle who served in Dafu said: "With Chengliang's grades, it is to pretend to report the fourth vocational high school of Dafuku, as long as he is willing, I will talk to the principal, and the principal will definitely accept it, and it is not a tuition fee...... Although there are three classes, only a little more than 100 people are officially admitted, and the other third have to charge school fees, and they have to talk about the relationship ......."
Cheng Cai glanced at Cheng Liang, who looked indifferent and seemed to have nothing to do with him, and said to the little uncle: "Studying in a vocational high school is a mixed high school diploma, and it is basically impossible to take the university entrance examination, or my uncle will think of other ways......
Later, I didn't know if I had a relationship with Futuo, and finally gave Cheng Liang the opportunity to study in a key high school, but he had to pay a total of more than 1,000 yuan, including tuition and miscellaneous fees. If you can't pay 1,000 yuan for the school construction fee, or Chengliang's grades are very close to the score line for formal admission, some of the poor grades will cost 5,000 yuan for the school to build the school, and if the grades are too poor, you are the son of the county magistrate, and the school will not accept it.
In those years, there was a shortage of funds for education, and the government tacitly allowed the school to raise funds for its own construction.
After the relationship is settled, the matter of money is stumped and blessed. Chengcai University is not only money, but living expenses, Yuxiu is the third year of high school, and he is the master who spends money without blinking, and the construction fee of Chengliangguang is more than 1,000 yuan, and it is impossible to pay for the opening of the school without 3,000 yuan.
On the night before the registration deadline, because the money had not yet been settled, Chi Lian quarreled with Youfu again. In the midst of the noise, Chi Lian mentioned that Yuxiu would not read it and send Cheng Liang to study. When Yuxiu heard this, she immediately joined the quarrel......
Before dawn on the second day, Blessed with a tired face went out, Cheng Liang went out with Yi Hui, who had not even obtained a graduation certificate from the same team, after breakfast and went to the cliff next to the mountain stream in Fengjiachong to chop firewood.
Yi Hui was destined to not be able to go to any school, and when he saw Cheng Liang with a gray face, he tried his best to persuade him not to go to such a school, how good it would be to be free......
Near noon, Youfu finally found the cliff where Cheng Liang and they were chopping wood.
Youfu looked happy, and shouted to Cheng Liang through the thorn nest: "How many people, I borrowed the tuition from your uncle, go back and sign up quickly, that Director Zhang said, on the last day of today, I can't get in if I want to get in today!" Now go back and have a bite to eat, and walk faster to get to school at two o'clock, it's still too late......"
Last night's disturbances made Cheng Liang's head blow up, and he replied indifferently: "Don't read it, chop firewood for a lifetime......"
Youfu was a little disappointed, he stood there for a while, and after thinking for a while, he thought that Cheng Liang wanted Yuxiu to drop out of school, so he enlightened: "Don't believe your mother, I went to your uncle's house this morning, and he lent me 2,000 yuan in one go, you have to read, and your sister has also ...... read."
Cheng Liang stopped, sat on the ground and played with the ant caterpillar with a firewood knife, without squeaking.
Seeing this, Youfu persuaded him bitterly, saying that now you see that your little uncle is better than me, and he also said that after he has completed his studies, he can earn money for us to spend in the next year......
If you are blessed, Cheng Liang will continue to study.
At this moment, Yi Hui, who was chopping wood under the thorn nest, was afraid that Cheng Liang would move his mind to study, and he would have no companion. He secretly whispered to Cheng Liang: "If you study in a book, even if you finish high school, you may not have a college ......."
The sentence that after finishing high school, there may not be a college study, broke the idea of continuing to study that flashed in Cheng Liang's mind, and strengthened Cheng Liang's idea of not studying.
He knew that the blessed couple would quarrel over trivial matters, and in the future, the three schoolbags, in case Yuxiu Chengliang couldn't get into school, he didn't know how much he would owe. In the future, I am afraid that it will be ......
Thinking of this, Cheng Liang raised his head and said to Youfu word by word: "If you don't read the book, you can return the money to your uncle!"
After saying that, he turned his head and went into another thorn hole to chop wood......
Blessed still has no dead heart, and his mouth is babbling and repeatedly talking about the good of reading.
At noon, the father and son were still deadlocked on the edge of the cliff, and Cheng Liang had stopped chopping firewood, and the firewood had already been prepared.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already slanting to the west, and Youfu held his knees with both hands, looked up at the sun, and sighed, "How many people, in the future, you don't blame your parents for pretending to give you books......
When Cheng Liang heard this, he felt a little moved in his heart, but he didn't respond.
When he went home, Youfu carried firewood for Chengliang, Chengliang followed closely behind, and when he turned the concave, the firewood was tripped by the thorn on the road, and Chengliang immediately cut off the thorn with a firewood knife.
Since then, Cheng Liang has bid farewell to his student career and started a bumpy road in life......
