my summer

After playing in the snow once in a while, the end of the semester is getting closer and closer.Facing the first big exam of my upcoming high school career, I feel nervous like I am facing an enemy.

My grades in the mid-term exam were above average in the class, which was a lot lower than my ranking in junior high school.I don't care. I have never had any ambitions about what kind of university I can go to. I can go to whatever I can get in the exam. Unfortunately, my parents and teachers don't care.Chinese students have always been poisoned by the so-called exam rankings, how can I escape?

And Xia Zhi still maintains the top ten level in the class, which is not easy in the key class where there are so many masters.

In order to shorten the gap with Xia Zhi in the ranking of this final exam, I decided to change my mind and review seriously.It's not that I usually don't concentrate on studying, it's just that compared with Xia Zhi, the degree of hard work may not be enough.

It's a pity that chemistry is my weakness as always, and I am often confused by various equations of various elements.

"Oh, what a big head..." I threw the pen and leaned back on the back of the chair.This chemistry test paper is too strenuous to do, and I don't know how many brain cells will be tossed to death.

Xia Zhi, who was sitting across from me, also put down his pen and smiled at me, "Chemistry is actually not as difficult as you think. If you try to look at it from a different angle and a different mood, you will find a lot of fun."

"I just find it difficult. There are so many knowledge points to memorize, messy and miscellaneous, my mind is muddled." I lay down on the table and said lazily.

"Chemistry knowledge points are indeed fragmented, but they are all interlinked," Xia Zhi said. "You can try to connect the knowledge points into a network in your mind, and stand on a high place to look at it yourself, and you will gradually find out what is in it." related."

Then, Xia Zhi picked a big question from the test paper and analyzed it in detail for me, which knowledge points were involved, how to make associations, etc.

The speaker is very patient, and the listener is serious enough.

Gradually, I also tasted some fun from the topic.For the rest of the test papers, I calmed down, analyzed and answered slowly, and finally finished them all after two hours.

"I want a reward!" I said excitedly.

Xia Zhi thought for a while, stood up and walked to my side, reached out and patted my face, and said, "Good job!"

I froze for a moment, "Is that all? Is it a reward?"

"Then what else?" He laughed, "Do you want the real thing?"

"No," I patted my sore shoulder, "Give me a massage."

"Okay," he nodded, "go to bed and lie down."

I went back to the room briskly, stretched my limbs and lay down on the bed.Xia Zhi went to bed after him, took off my coat, then sat on my buttocks and began to press them.

His technique is obviously very rusty, the force varies from light to heavy, and sometimes he accidentally presses on the bone, causing me to scream in pain.However, I enjoyed it in my heart.

On a quiet winter afternoon, the sun shines into the room through the window screens, making the whole room bright and yellow, and only the rhythmic ticking of the alarm clock can be heard in the ears.I just finished a very difficult chemistry test paper, and now I have my best friend providing intimate service. My mood is like driving on a straight and empty road, which is incomparably hearty.

After several days of final exams, I breathed a sigh of relief.I feel that the sprint before the exam is still effective, especially in chemistry.

On the day the results came out, the school had officially started the winter vacation.My ranking this time was five places ahead of the midterm exam, but I was still hovering outside the tenth place.And Xia Zhi broke into the top six this time.The distance between us is still so far...

I was a little disappointed, and walked out of Mr. Li's office dejectedly. I didn't even hear Mr. Li's praise behind me very clearly.

After a few steps, the summer solstice came. "Yangyang, what's the matter? Didn't play well?" He asked me with concern.

I shook my head: "No, I did very well in the exam."

He laughed: "I knew you must be fine, just wait for me." After speaking, he ran to the teacher's office, and ran out again soon. "Yangyang, you've made great progress!" He shouted a little excitedly.

"Well," I nodded, "you have made great progress."

"Let's work hard and make progress together." He hooked my fingers and said cheerfully.

"Okay!" I nodded and smiled at him.

"By the way," Xia Zhi and I ordered some fried skewers at the snack bar in front of the school, "When are you going home?"

"Just today," he said, "the dormitory will not be let in tonight."

I picked up the ham sausage and took a bite, then handed him the remaining half, "Why don't you go back a few days later? Go to my house to play for a few days first."

"No," he said while eating ham sausage, "I haven't been back for a long time, my grandparents miss me very much, so go back early to be with them."

"Okay," I was disappointed again, "then I'll take you to the station."

"Ouch, are you going to perform another Flood Station?" he said with a smile.

"Tsk, I look down on people," I said disdainfully, "I've already told you I'm not crying, people will grow up anyway."

"You don't know," he said, "Since that time, every time I go to the station, I always think of you crying so disfigured, and I can always hear your earth-shattering crying in my ears."

"That's what you thought and what I thought." I swear the words just slipped out of my mouth.

He looked at me for a while, and then said softly, "Yes, it's all because of you."

Later, at Xia Zhi's insistence, I didn't send him to the station, and we said goodbye at a fork not far from the school.

I originally thought that the winter vacation would be just over 20 days, and it would be no big deal, just sleep in and do homework and it would be over.However, when I faced a large table of chicken, duck, fish and the prosperous Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve, I was full of regrets.

Why didn't he think of asking Xia Zhi for a home landline number?In this way, you can make a phone call with him to celebrate the New Year, and then chat casually without seeing him, at least you can hear the voice.

What a fool I am!

In the first month, besides visiting relatives on my mother's side, I will also stay at my father's place for a few days.Dad doesn't have any relatives there, and he basically celebrates the New Year by himself.No, there were times when other aunts lived with her.

After breaking up with Aunt Sun, Dad has been in contact with several aunts one after another, but the time is not long, and the longest one seems to be less than two years.Sometimes I am also puzzled, why do these aunts dislike Dad?He is obviously a very kind and conscientious man. Although he doesn't earn much, he has a stable job and works hard to take care of his family. What's wrong?

During the Chinese New Year this year, Dad was at home alone.He happily cooked a large table of dishes that I like, and kept putting them in my bowl.

"Enough, Dad, I can pick it myself, you can eat." I said.

He nodded, retracted his chopsticks, and lowered his head to eat by himself.I looked towards him, there were some silver strands in the middle of the short black curly hair.

"Dad," I asked him cautiously, "do you remember the summer solstice?"

He looked up at me, "Remember, why did you mention him suddenly?"

"He is in the same class as me now, and his grades are much better than mine." I said.

"Really? That's pretty good." Dad smiled slightly, and there were a few shallow creases at the corners of his eyes.

"Well," I put down my chopsticks, "I have a good relationship with him."

"I heard that his mother has been working out of town, but it's a pity we haven't seen each other since we broke up." Dad said with emotion.

"Xia Zhi is as tall as me, and he is still very handsome, but his skin is not as white as mine." I said.

Dad looked at me, "You can be regarded as two brothers, you should take care of him at school, and tell Dad if you have any difficulties."

I said "hmm", thinking to myself, it seems that he has always taken care of me more in school, my elder brother is quite chic, hehe.
