my summer

The college entrance examination is approaching!

The whole grade was shrouded in a serious atmosphere. No one was talking loudly in the classroom between classes, and no one was chatting in the corridor. Everyone seemed to be firmly nailed to their seats by a mysterious force, racing against time like a desperate race.

Dad came to school to see me once, brought two boxes of milk and a big bag of snacks, and told me to share with Xia Zhi.Unlike my mother who always asked about my grades every time I met, he didn't mention anything about the college entrance examination, but simply asked me a few words about my life in school.

Before leaving, he said: "Yangyang, Dad has no skills. He has been an ordinary worker all his life, but he is quite contented with his small life. What kind of road and life everyone wants to live depends on his Choose. When you have made a choice, try to go in this direction. Go up as much as you can. Don’t always think about looking back. The higher you stand, the wider your vision will be, and the scenery you see will be different .”

At that time, I was actually not sure what kind of road I would take in the future, but I thought to myself that the summer solstice must be accompanied on this road, so that the scenery will be more beautiful.

The tense and silent atmosphere lasted until two days before the college entrance examination, the last day of class at the school, and the entire teaching building suddenly erupted like a volcano that had been silent for a long time, and it exploded with a "boom!"

The corridor was full of people, everyone shouted and talked loudly, and they tore up the test papers and books and scattered them downstairs. It looked like it was snowing, and it was far bigger than the one above.Not long after, the ground downstairs and the green belt were covered with scraps of paper, large and small.

The grade director stood downstairs and drenched in "snow" for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly, and left.

It's crazy.

But whose youth has not been crazy?

I suddenly wanted to go crazy, went back to the classroom and picked up a few test papers to rush out, but was stopped by Xia Zhi.

"These are all evidence of your hard work. It's good to keep them as souvenirs. It's a pity to throw them away," he said.

"Ah... so what should I do? I also want to have fun." I said.

"Here, tear this up." He handed over a stack of thick manuscript paper, densely packed with drafts.

"Isn't this your evidence?" I asked.

"Idiot, this is just scratch paper, tear it up," he said, "What about yours? Give me some too."

I found my own stack of draft paper for him, and the two of us ran to the corridor, huddled in the crowd, tore it happily, and then threw it out with all our strength.

"Huh, happy!" I said loudly, and I will be liberated soon.

The day before the college entrance examination, the whole school was suspended, and all the classrooms were vacated to decorate the examination room.

The huge campus is quiet.

Teacher Li asked our boarding students to make their own arrangements. You can go to the playground, but don’t run around at will. You can go to the reading room to read magazines, or just sleep in the dormitory for a whole day.But the premise is that you must first prepare the objects needed for the exam and put them where you can see them.

Xia Zhi and I sat on the stone bench by the pool, staring at the water in a daze.

The more I got here, the less nervous I was, and my mood was as calm as the surface of the water.

"Yangyang," Xia Zhi looked at me, "Tomorrow, don't worry too much about C University. Give me the exam without distractions, answer the questions seriously, and treat it as a mock exam. We can discuss other things after the exam is over." .”

"Well," I nodded, "you too."

"Okay, me too." He nodded too.

From the surrounding bushes, cicadas' cries from far and near broke the tranquility of the campus, as if to blow the horn of victory for us in advance.

The most important two days in my student life ended successfully. When I walked out of the examination room, I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.

Is it really over?After studying for so many years, all the hard work is just for these two short days?Is college another beginning of life?

"How is it?" Going down to the first floor, Xia Zhi walked towards him.

"Very good, all the questions have been answered." I smiled at him, seeing his appearance and knowing that the exam went well without asking.

He touched my head, "It's definitely no problem, just wait for the score."

"Well," I said, "how are you going to spend your summer vacation?"

"I want to work part-time," he said.

"Oh, I'll go too," I said, "Then you can stay at my house and we'll go to work together."

"Isn't that good? For such a long time..." he said.

"Then let me ask you, where are you going to live?" I stared at him, "Stay in a hotel? Sleep on a bridge hole? Or take a two-hour car every day to go back to your hometown?"

"I...I haven't figured it out yet...I also have relatives in the county..." He stammered.

"It's not good for you to stay with your relatives for so long," I said, "You just stay at my house, that's the deal!"

After the official holiday, Xia Zhi first sent most of the luggage back to his hometown, and spent a few days with his grandparents in his hometown by the way.It will take some time for the scores to come out, so I asked Lei Ming to help find a place to recruit summer jobs.

"Kuafu, you are not short of money, why are you rushing to work as soon as you finish the exam, why don't you have fun and relax?" Lei Ming asked, "Experience the society in advance?"

"Yes," I said, "experience the warmth and coldness of society and prepare for college life."

He had an expression of disbelief, "Are you fooling a fool?"

"Yeah, that's right." I said seriously.

After a while, the idiot came to his senses and anxiously argued, "No... I didn't mean that... I'm not a fool..."

"Did I say you're an idiot?" I asked.

"No," he shook his head, "but that's what you meant..."

"Idiot is obviously what you said, I just echoed it casually." I said.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to you," he said, "Do you think I don't know why you rush to work? Isn't it because of Xia..."

Before he finished speaking, I pushed him out of the house.After closing the door, he could vaguely hear his complaint, "You heartless Zhang Shimei!"

One of the family businesses of cousin Lei Ming is a not too small fast food restaurant. Its main business is casserole rice, and it also sells stewed soup and snacks.There promised to provide two temporary service positions, and we can go to work after we fill out the application.

My mother was puzzled that I wanted to go out to work. She originally planned to sign me up for a tour group to let me go to the beach, but I refused without thinking.

Xia Zhi is willing to live at home, which is already quite embarrassing for him. If I help him sign up for a group to go out to play, he will definitely be even more unhappy... What's the point of me going alone?

"Then you can look after the shop for me," my mother said, "I will pay you according to the wages."

"No," I said, "helping you look after the store is just like playing. It's better to stay at home. I just want to go out early to experience the society. I have never traveled far since I was a child. I will not be bullied when I go to college soon." ?”

My mother still objected, and Uncle Guo on the side gently persuaded: "Wenxiu (mother's name), Yang Yang is a prospective college student, and he's not a three-year-old kid. It's fine to go to a fast food restaurant to serve dishes. Exercise more. What's more, Xia Zhi will go with him, so don't worry about it."

Mom looked at Uncle Guo, then at me, and finally went back to the room without saying a word, acquiescing.

I gave Uncle Guo a grateful smile.He has been with his mother for so many years, and he can often convince his stubborn mother with a harmless word.

After that, I had nothing to do and slept comfortably for several days.

Until the day when the scores came out, Xia Zhi rushed over early in the morning.

"Yangyang, hurry up, call to check the score!" He was full of excitement.

I couldn't calm down anymore, and started dialing numbers on the landline with trembling hands, "Hello examinee, your total score is 645 points, repeat it, 645 points."

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Yangyang! You're really good!"

"It's you who can do it. What I lose is your admission ticket number." I said with a smile.

"Ah?" He was stunned again, grabbed the phone and dialed it. Every time the button rang, my heart was lifted up. When I reached the last number, he took a deep look at me, and then said heavily. Press.The female voice on the other end of the phone was still as sweet as before, "...your total score is 626 points, repeat, 626 points."

Ah, 626, this score is still a bit of a hang-up for applying for C University.

"Yangyang," Xia Zhi ticked my finger when filling out the application form in the computer room of the school, "You...do you want to think about it again?"

"No, I'm not going to change my mind," I said, "I said I'd go to college with you, it's definitely possible, don't worry."

"I..." He lowered his head, was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at me again, "I believe you."

My first choice was to fill in C University without hesitation, and I chose English as my first major, and I picked a few majors that were not too popular, and ticked the subject of major adjustment.

For the sake of my hard pursuit, God will take care of me, right?
