Shengsheng

2002 12 Month 4 Day.

Accompanied by Xiaoliang's voice, the time passed unconsciously, and the annual city-wide final exams for junior and senior high school students started on time in full swing.

In the past two days, because the end of the term was approaching and there was no extra homework assigned, Liang Sheng went to bed early every night.

Usually, after 09:30 in the evening, he would study or review for an hour alone, and sometimes Jin Ping, who was dressed in clothes, would come to knock on the door to remind him to go to bed.

But during this period of time, he has really achieved a regular schedule, and he sleeps as soon as he lies down. It can be said that his mentality in all aspects is in stark contrast to that of the past period.

After all, only those who have truly experienced this kind of big test will know.

Compared with the last few days before the exam, I started to stay up all night and broke my body alive.

At this time, it is often more important for candidates to ensure adequate sleep and rest time, so that the body and brain can finally go to the examination room with no trace of fatigue and energy.

Some time ago, Teacher Peng Anliang's correct pre-exam psychological counseling played a big role in Liang Sheng, who had been having difficulty overcoming those obstacles in his heart.

"If you want to become a truly outstanding person, the first thing you should learn to do is self-discipline."

"Good living habits, correct learning methods, normal study at the time of study, and good rest at the time of rest, no one has ever said that only by staying up late and working hard on memorizing and doing questions is a good student who really loves to learn , Those who really know how to learn should first learn to use their strength where it should be used.”

These words made Liang Sheng, who had really missed the point all along, seem to have a completely different understanding of the three things of reading, going to school and taking exams.

For the entire semester, he spent every day going to class and leaving get out of class, previewing and reviewing, and passing the exams and exams again and again.

He used a lot of pencils, erasers, and scratch paper. He was completely focused and concentrated, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Now when it was time to actually accept the results, he was like a young eagle standing on the edge of a cliff for the first time waiting to jump off, but he didn't know whether it was the sky or the cliff, and he felt the wind on the edge of the cliff for the first time.

"Come with me... I will set off at dawn... I have woken up from my dream, and my heart is no longer afraid..."

At eight o'clock the next morning, the song "Happy Hometown" in front of the morning news on the TV broadcast was still on the air, and people going to work on the street were still blocked.

When we came together this morning, the breakfast stalls on the whole street where crowds gathered at the back gate of No. [-] Middle School were visibly bustling.

Snack bars, pancake stalls, ordinary parents may not be willing to eat a decent breakfast outside, and to catch up with the annual exam, they bring their children to cheer before the exam.

Because the day before, the Chinese and politics of the senior grades had already been tested, so this morning there was only half-time mathematics for the junior high school.

It can be said that there is only this small half of the exam, and the school gates are waiting for 08:30 one by one, but the children who entered the exam room on time still looked prepared.

Some were frowning and biting their pale lips, pinching the formulas on the notebook and trying to make a quick dash before the exam, while others lowered their heads to the side and silently forced themselves to calm down, but the sweat on their foreheads was still quite obvious.

Final exam.

Session Two - Mathematics.

To a certain extent, these blood-red characters not only affect the nerves of Trabecular for almost a whole semester, but also affect the quality of the next winter and summer vacation in the minds of all children and parents.

'If you don't do well in the final exam, you will lose your life'.

I don't know when, this mantra has been circulating among schools, as if it indicates that once the hot-handed semester report card is in hand, parents will be happy or worried, and they will resign themselves to fate.

"In the two days between No. 3 and No. 4, I have already marked the numbers of the examination rooms assigned to our class on the small blackboard. Remember, during the examination, you must never use tape to alter Chinese compositions, and you must bring a 2B pencil for mathematics. , eraser, triangular ruler, compasses, every answer sheet must not be missed, you must double check your test tools, and, no matter what happens, you must not hand in the paper in advance or cheat..."

About a week before the exam, their homeroom teacher, Teacher Wan, had already emphasized the discipline issues in each exam room over and over in the class.

I heard that this year, the Ministry of Education of this city has strictly responded to the new policy of standardized invigilation for the national college entrance examination.

Also in order to establish a "renewed" new examination style among the provincial leaders, a meeting was specially arranged to double the number of invigilators compared to previous years, just to strictly investigate the more or less existing class cheating of junior high school students Phenomenon.

Especially since this semester, although the female head teacher of 'Nurse Rong' has always had a bad temper, she has rarely expressed her attitude officially like this time. The hairy kids who were in the big exam battle also became inexplicably nervous.

So for a while, let's not talk about Liang Sheng and other "good guys" who are usually quiet in the class except for the "little friction" between classmates at the beginning of school.

Even a "little monkey" like Lin Tong, who is not afraid of anything, dared not make a mistake. He just prayed silently in his heart to quickly end the hellish "final exam" of these two days, and started happily after receiving the final report card. Winter vacation is just fine.

"...Hey, Shengsheng, I solemnly swear to you, I will never answer the question with anyone after today's exam..."

Finish the last half hour of this math test.

With a disposable answering bag under his arm, Lin Tong and Liang Sheng, who had pulled the zipper of their school uniform straight up to their chins, were standing outside the preparatory examination room one after the other, chatting.

The two have been together since the beginning of school, and even their homeroom teacher Wan felt puzzled by their buddies who just went to the toilet together to relieve their hand.

At this moment, Liang Sheng, who had just wiped his hands clean, was squatting to tie his shoelaces while talking to him, and Xiao Lin Tongdi, who was hanging around in his pocket, propped his chin and muttered softly beside him.

Because today is the final exam on the second day, they are all wearing the same No. [-] Middle School uniform.

Because schools in the south generally do not have heating, before winter, the No. [-] Middle School distributed this kind of winter sports uniforms with black stripes on a white background and fat trouser legs to students of all grades.

This kind of sports school uniform is only unique to domestic schools. Because the design is extremely careless, and young boys and girls who are still in the development stage and have no figure at all, once they wear it, they basically say goodbye to terms such as beauty.

But there are obviously exceptions to this.

At least Xiaolin Tong and Xiao Liangsheng, who are very thin and tall among ordinary junior high school students, look very energetic in wearing them.

Also because of this, even though these two brats were suspected of disrupting the unity within the class at the beginning of the school year.

But as the relationship between classmates in the new class gradually became familiar, everyone accepted Liang Sheng without discrimination, and no one really laughed at or remembered that he could not keep up with his study progress or had a strange temper.

Regarding this point, Liang Sheng himself obviously did not expect it.

Because when he was still in elementary school, it was difficult for him to get out of the shadow of being rejected by his classmates and discriminated against by his family. So anxious and lonely.

He never thought that he could truly find the sense of belonging in the so-called collective environment in the new environment of junior high school.

But since this semester, although the other children in the class didn't deliberately get too close to him, they got along peacefully without knowing it.

Go to the teacher to hand in homework, take the initiative to raise your hand to answer questions in class, and do group extracurricular activities in physical education class.

He once thought that the abduction experience of Hexi's nightmare class might bring him an indelible pain in his life.

He was afraid of talking to strangers, and he didn't like the strange environment with too many people, but the increasingly enriching learning environment did allow him to step out of those horrible memories in the past.

In this, there is obviously the initial credit of Lin Tong, a naturally optimistic guy, and the reason why Liang Sheng himself is opening his young heart to accept the outside world step by step with the help of parents, school and teachers.

But when he heard his words at this time, Xiao Liangsheng, who silently pulled the zipper of the school uniform to the top like Lin Tong, didn't express much. He put down halfway through the exam preparation review questions and said,

"A man said the same thing to me yesterday. After the exam, he left me and checked the answers with the girls in the next class."

Lin Tong: "..."

If you have the courage to directly expose the truth of the matter, it will hit your heart directly.

He has always upheld the spirit of friendship with good brothers, Lin Tong was a little embarrassed when he heard that it was not as it should be, so he touched his nose and whispered to him and said with a smile,

"Hey, sound, yes, but I have already humbly admitted my mistake with you. Yesterday, as soon as I left the examination room, someone from the next class asked me to correct the answer! I am nominally the representative of the political class of our class. As our old Deng said at the meeting, this class of cadres is within this grade, and they still have to play a little leading role..."

So boldly imitating the classic tone of Lao Deng, the headmaster of their No. [-] Middle School, our "sister Lin" Lin Tong boasted so much, without a trace of shame on his face.

Because everyone knew that, as the politics class representative for this semester, besides helping his political teacher, Mr. Jiang, clean the blackboard after class, he basically couldn't have any prestige at all.

At the beginning, Mr. Jiang chose him because of our classmate Lin Tong's face and mouth.

Suddenly, I ran to the office of Teacher Jiang and whispered that I really wanted to be a class leader.

He also talked nonsense about how his grandma hoped day and night that eight generations of them would be able to produce a class cadre. If Guangzong Yaozu became a class cadre in the future, he would never delay handing in teacher Jiang's homework. Moreover, the whole class's blackboard for a whole year It's all up to him to wipe.

As soon as these words came out, no one in the class dared to compete with Lin Tong.

Although in fact, there are not a few people who gnash their teeth behind their backs and call this kid despicable.

But just like this, on the day Lin Tong was successfully elected as the representative of the political class, he dared to run home with his schoolbag triumphantly and told him that his grandmother who had been insane for many years was hand-picked by the teacher. People's class cadres'!

But the crazy old lady who didn't know the real situation was so happy, she left the housework and hurriedly cooked at home, and it was hard to say anything else after she made it clear what was going on.

"Okay...okay...our family, A Tong, has a bright mind. Like your father when he was in college, he is much better than your mother's wild breed of chickens who steal people outside... If you know that kind of broken shoes, Our A-Tong is so good now, she regrets keeping it. The better our A-Tong is, the more she will regret it in this life...Eat as much as you can, eat more, grow strong, have a smart mind, go to college, and she will be able to eat in this life. Let's live a long life together, and don't have to suffer the same as in the previous life..."

Every time he gets crazy and curses people, his mouth is very mean, but at the same time he is really nice and nice to them.

Like an old crazy woman with white hair and no ability to take care of herself, Grandma Lin, who was sitting in the small courtyard, clapped her hands and giggled like this, as if she had vaguely seen her grandson and Liang Sheng really grow up in the future. The scene is over.

Usually, under such circumstances, Lin Tong would helplessly say to Liang Shengdi, don't mind, my grandma is sick again and talking nonsense, probably because she watched too many TV dramas.

She always said that she hoped that both Lin Tong and Liang Sheng would live a long life, and there were some crazy things in this life and the previous life, but usually, no one would believe her.

But in the past and present life, even the adults don't believe it at all, let alone the children, so every time Liang Sheng listens to it, even if he has doubts, he forgets it.

But at the moment, in the corridor behind him and Lin Tong, there are many children from other classes who came to this classroom to take the exam.

Inside each examination room, two teachers who entered with examination paper bags and tea cups had already lowered their heads to check the student number, name and other information posted on the table in advance.

These two teachers, who seem to be very face-to-face, are usually not the teachers of the school. Under the completely unfamiliar invigilation environment, this will also avoid some problems caused by the students that are difficult to control and maintain in the examination room discipline.

When I glanced to the other side of the corridor, I vaguely saw the big portrait with Lenin's motto hanging on it.

Several little girls with pigtails were getting together to memorize mathematical formulas, and one of the little girls with ponytails surrounded in the middle even attracted Lin Tong, who was sneaky and pushed the beam beside him.

"You hadn't come out at that time, and then I... I was a little bit unsteady in my revolutionary will... You also know that the girls in the next class love to get the answers right, and they always confuse me. You see, the class in their class On behalf of that smug face, every time she runs errands to our class to deliver homework, she deliberately rolls her eyes at me, and she was the one who gave me the right answer yesterday, that little girl named Cheng Yuyu..."

"You asked for it yourself, you can ask for trouble if you have nothing to do."

"Wow, Shengsheng, are you still my best friend? Woohoo, why are you so heartless, you don't want me at all..."

Probably because after getting acquainted with each other, there is no taboo in speaking.

When they first met at the beginning of the school year, the two brats who were still a little reserved chatted in private now, and they had begun to have the style of running on each other between old friends in the next ten years.

Seeing that the sound of the trabeculae is usually like a snail, it still looks like it doesn't eat oil and salt.

Lin Tong, who had no way to deal with him, had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, then rubbed his hands and leaned over with a flattering face, laughing and saying,

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong... But then again, how do you feel today? Will you still feel very nervous and uncomfortable after the exam like before, and can't sleep?"

"..."

"Also, why hasn't Brother Dasheng been home for a long time? He won't come for your final exam?"

Which pot is not on and which pot to talk about for a while, the expression of Xiao Liang's voice changed for a while, and his gaze fell on the review materials for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Tong blinked his eyes and looked like an idiot, but Xiao Liangsheng, who was staring at him silently, finally turned his face away helplessly, a little ignorant of him.

...Yeah, why didn't that person come home yet?

It's the second day of my final exam, why doesn't the person who promised to come back early to cheer him on come home?

He didn't put the boredom, sadness and unhappiness in his heart that he had never felt before in Xiao Liang's voice, and he didn't immediately put it on his face at the moment.

After all, in half an hour, he was going to walk into the examination room to take this important exam that he had prepared for a long time, and he actually didn't want to be distracted at this time.

But at this moment, he still thought of something that had caught his attention for almost several whole nights.

Because even though Xiao Liangsheng had been silently chanting in his heart for several days and nights before the exam, he hoped that the older one would be able to go home early.

Even——just to be able to come back before the end of this exam, and personally say a few irrelevant words of encouragement to him.

For him personally, this is a special power that is different from that given to Ren Li by Jin Ping, Teacher Peng, Lin Tong and other relatives and friends combined.

However, the night before the official exam started, it was clear that Liang Sheng and Cao Maocai had agreed that they would be home within two days, but Jin Ping and him waited and waited for no one to eat dinner.

It was almost late at night, on the landline at home, which had been silent for a long time, before I belatedly received a call from those two people who had been away for a long time while on the road.

"Ah Sheng? Is it you? What's the matter? Didn't you say you won't go home until the fifth? Did something happen on the way?"

"...Hey, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, it's all right, it's just a small traffic jam. Brother Cao is negotiating with other drivers in front to help tow the car and find someone. We... We got stuck in the traffic jam when we came out of the provincial capital. It's a small matter, just keep quiet Is Shengsheng asleep? Can you convey something to me, let him have a good day tomorrow... Uh, forget it, sister-in-law, I'm a bit messy, I can't explain clearly, he... is it convenient for him to answer my call now? "

It could be heard that Liang Sheng's tone was obviously a little anxious because the phone signal over there was not very good.

At that time, he seemed to be standing beside a tollbooth on the highway from the provincial capital to City Y, looking for a call signal.

It can be clearly felt that there are many drivers of rear-end vehicles in the past, so on this night, the movement around him is still chaotic, and it is not clear what the extent of the accident is.

From the beginning to the end, apart from the traffic jam and the two of them being fine, Jin Ping, who didn't hear anything clearly when she heard this, hurriedly sighed and ran out to wake Xiao Liangsheng up.

At that time, the clock on the wall at home was almost eleven o'clock.

After dinner this evening, Xiao Liangsheng, who had been waiting at the door for hours, had already gone to bed early for the final exam tomorrow morning.

He woke up from his sleep, and he was very happy to hear Jin Ping say that it was Liang Sheng who called at the first time.

The child who had an exam the next day jumped up from the bed almost ecstatically, and ran out without even putting on the cartoon slippers under the bed.

But when he and Jin Ping hurried back to their home in front of the market and picked up the landline in their hands again, Xiao Liang's voice was only heard... a series of blind voices that seemed to be because of something bad and couldn't wait to hang up .

——The other end actually hung up his phone in advance.
