Late July is the hottest season of the year in Shimizu Prefecture.

In the 82 years when there was no air conditioning and electric fans were not popular, the hottest ten days of the year were really difficult.

But whoever has the ability to choose, will definitely choose this time to rest.

Principal Chang sat under the big tree outside his office, pouring a big gulp of insulated tea into his stomach while shaking the pu fan in his hand quickly.

In late July every year, the results of the college entrance examination are released, and the results of the candidates will be passed down from the provincial level, first to the county education bureau, and then distributed to various high schools.

Therefore, even if it was hot, the sweat towel in his hand was as if it had been washed, and he didn't dare to stay away from his telephone.

Although the admission of college entrance examination students is still subject to the admission notice, there are only a few people every year, and the other two or three hundred students who take the college entrance examination are still waiting for the announcement of the college entrance examination results!

"Bell bell bell ~"

The phone rang suddenly, and Principal Chang, who was sitting under the big tree, rushed into the office at a speed that was definitely not in keeping with his age.

"Hey, this is Qingshui County No. 2 Middle School, oh oh, Director Ruan! What are your instructions? ”

Principal Chang was startled and hurriedly found a towel to wipe his sweat, but found that he had thrown it under the big tree when he came in just now, so he had to lift the hem of his vest and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

It stands to reason that the call from the county education bureau to the county No. 2 middle school is usually made by the middle-level director, and this is the first time that the number one person has called.

"Old! Congratulations, the above reporter is going to your school for an interview, you must make strict preparations to show the good face of our Qingshui County's education cause."

"Reporter interviews? Where are the journalists? In the city? What. Provincial? Journalists in the province? Want to interview our school? ”

Principal Chang asked several times before he was sure that something had hit him on the head.

He said excitedly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely be prepared, but why did they come to interview our school?" ”

"Heh~"

The other end of the phone chuckled and said weirdly, "It's not because of your school, that. Li Ye with personality? ”

"Personality? What does it mean to have a personality? ”

Principal Chang pondered these two short sentences, and was a little unsure of the true meaning of the other side.

Because Li Ye wrote "Latent", he had already shown his face once at the year-end report last year, so this time it was because of "Latent"?

"Not like normal students, unruly, always acting unexpectedly"

The other side of the conversation was easy to say, and the sweat of Principal Chang was forced out again.

"No, no, no, the leader you misunderstood, Li Ye is really a good student, we can't hearsay"

Principal Chang is still very protective of calves, Li Ye is a signboard of the county No. 2 Middle School after all, and he must be protected!

But the next moment, a ridiculous voice came from the other end of the phone: "Obviously a good student, but taking the pre-exam as a child's play, isn't this a personality?" ”

“.”

Principal Chang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and remembered what Li Ye had said in this office two months ago.

At that time, the bear child was funny when he pinched him to drink tea, and sincerely made him choke.

But for a moment

"Director, the results of the college entrance examination are out, right? Did Li Ye really get 600 points? Principal Chang's throat trembled.

"You actually know his true level? If it's so good to study, why let him mess around."

The angry chatter on the other side of the phone counted Principal Chang down.

Principal Chang immediately began to shout: "Leader, you don't know, that Li Ye is a genius, he was writing at that time, and his mind was full of,

So he didn't bother to write for the pre-exam, and he wrote it under the strong guidance of Mr. Ke."

In order to protect Li Ye, Principal Chang vaguely pulled out Teacher Ke.

"Okay, don't talk to me, wait for the reporter to come and talk to others,"

On the other end of the phone, Principal Chang said, "Do you understand how to tell people when the time comes?"

It is necessary to highlight the personality of such talented young writers and highlight the arrogance and self-confidence of young people. There are a lot of examples of people in this area! ”

"There is a personality, there must be a personality, rebellious? Assertive? He's very self-confident! ”

Principal Chang patted his chest as a guarantee, as if he was the one who said just now that Li Ye was a good boy, not him.

And after saying this call, Principal Chang asked with a smile, "What about the director. How did Li Ye do in the exam? ”

"I can't say this, there are regulations," said the other end of the phone: "Your school's results will be sent soon, see for yourself when the time comes!"

But if you think about it yourself, you should be able to guess that this time you have picked up a big bargain, enough for you to blow for a few years. ”

"Guessed? Alas, old leader, give me a thorough understanding! Or I can't sleep today, hey, hey, hey? ”

"Doodoo~"

Putting down the phone, Principal Chang's cautious posture was gone, and he said angrily: "Your chair is too big, and people are not sincere.

I used to dig out my heart and lungs, but now I am beating around the bush and forgetting how I brought you food in the first place? ”

However, Principal Chang only pondered for two seconds before grasping the key clue.

"The province came to interview, big bargain? Last year's provincial first place was Mu Yunxue, and the second place was."

Who remembers who the second place was?

Principal Chang jumped up directly and circled around the office excitedly.

"No. 1 in the province, must be the first in the province"

He strode out of the office, gathered the qi of the dantian and shouted: "Someone! Bring me someone! ”

Two teachers on duty at the school, like firefighters, ran over in a panic.

"What's wrong, Headmaster?"

"Someone from above is going to check on our work, find someone to clean up, and clean all the places that can be seen in the whole school, especially the toilets"

“.”

The two teachers look at me and I look at you, and said with a bitter face: "Principal, now it's just the two of us, we really can't clean it!" ”

There will never be a shortage of people for school cleaning, but it has to be during the school day, how can any student be a donkey for you during the holidays?

But Principal Chang pointed to a few students near the school's bulletin board and said, "Aren't there students there?" Let them do it first, and I'll tell the others to come right away. ”

The school bulletin board is the place where the college entrance examination results were posted in previous years, and now it is close to the day when the results are released, and there are always students who can't hold their breath and come to squat for a while every day, hoping to see their fate first.

He Weiguo is one of them, his family lives in the county seat, and his family will urge him to come every day, but he didn't see his results today, but he fell with a big broom.

"What? Let's clean the toilet? We. I've graduated! ”

"You've graduated? Are you sure you won't repeat it next year? ”

“.”

Who knows for sure? If you have such a spectrum in your heart, do you still need to come over every day anxiously to wait for results?

Principal Chang didn't care how sad He Weiguo was in his heart, he dialed Li Zhongfa's phone when he returned to the office.

"Hey, Director Li! The old man of the No. 2 Middle School in my county, hahaha, you tell Li Ye that there are reporters above who want to come for interviews, and a report meeting will be held, so that he must be prepared to write a few more speeches."

"What? He's not at home? No hurry, no hurry, the reporter will come in two days. What did you say? ”

"Has he gone to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland? Can't get in touch? ”

The smiling Principal Chang was completely stunned with a smile on his face.

After a long time, Principal Chang's roar came from the office.

"You. It's really personal, wow!! ”

。。。。。。

After flowing from west to east, the Qingshui River flows through the county seat, and then throws a tributary branch to the south, winding all the way to the south, watering countless fertile fields.

On the east side of this tributary, there is a large village with a population of more than 3,000 called Xiajia Village.

Most of the people in the village have the surname Xia, and they have lived on this land for hundreds of years.

Xia Laoshi in the east of the village is an ancestral carpenter, skillful and kind-hearted, and there are four sons in the family, all of whom have big shoulders and round waists, so they have always been very prestigious in the village.

After the opening up in recent years, the minds of the villagers have gradually come alive, and everyone is no longer "poor" with each other, but "rich".

There are more and more jobs for new furniture, new doors and windows, and the carpenter's good days are coming.

However, since half a month ago, Xia Laoshi's youngest daughter came back from the county, Xia Laoshi, who is always happy on weekdays, has no longer smiled, and he doesn't even participate in his favorite card play.

On the third pole of the day, taking advantage of the cool early morning, Xia Laoshi and his fourth son, who had been working for several hours, finally put down the planer in their hands and sat in front of the small dining table.

The old woman lightly put on the pickles and egg noodles, and bowed to the side room at home, signaling Xia to call people honestly.

Xia honestly sighed and said softly: "Yue'er! Get up and eat! ”

Half a minute later, Xia Yue's voice came from the house: "Dad, I'm not hungry, let's eat together at noon." ”

Xia honestly said patiently: "Three meals a day, no one is missing!"

Hurry up, today your fourth brother is going to the county seat to deliver furniture, let him take you over to have a look, I heard that the department store has new clothes, buy you one. ”

"Mmmmmm," the fourth son said to Xia Yue's house while snoring and eating noodles: "Xiaoyue, hurry up, what do you want to buy when the time comes, brother will buy you something, and besides, the school should produce results, right?" We'll have to check it out."

"What are you smiling about? You talk a lot, don't you? ”

Xia Laoshi kicked the fourth son's calf, almost making the strong young man throw the bowl out.

The fourth child of the Xia family came back to his senses at this time, lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak, just stuffed his head to eat.

Xia Laoshi's family has four boys, just such a little girl as Xia Yue, the old man has been distressed since he was a child.

The four elder brothers also dot on Xia Yue's younger sister, give whatever they want, and do whatever they want, and they also give her an arrogant problem.

But Xia Yue's cleverness just covered up these problems.

She has been the first in the school since she was in elementary school, which is like Xia Laoshi's four sons, who are so stupid that they can only follow him to learn carpentry.

But Xia Yue, who has studied well since she was a child, finally suffered a setback at the juncture of the college entrance examination, and the first college entrance examination was a few points away, and she went to the repeat class with confidence.

But this second college entrance examination, but he was directly shut up, and no matter how much Xia Laoshi persuaded and coaxed, it was to no avail.

After eating, Xia honestly smoked a dry cigarette with his head down, and the old woman cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, leaned over and said, "Why don't you go find that Lu Jingyao again and let her enlighten Xiaoyue?" ”

Xia honestly said irritably: "People are college students now, where can they still look down on us?" I went to invite me twice in a row and didn't come, and I don't understand if I'm a fool anymore? ”

But as soon as Xia Honest's voice fell, someone outside the courtyard wall laughed: "Uncle, you are ashamed of me when you say this, don't say that I am a college student, even an old student, I can't forget my roots, right?" ”
