Shengsheng

The final exam in the morning came to an end after an hour and a half.

At 10:30 in the morning, the hallway was crowded with all kinds of children who had just finished their exams and rushed downstairs to the cafeteria and canteen.

In the examination room, before the invigilator completely left, on the other side, the group of furry kids who knew they had been completely liberated rushed downstairs one after another.

They yelled and yelled as they ran, and their happy laughter resounded in the corridor. A few more active children even took off their school uniforms, tied them around their waists, and jumped down the stairs.

Because of this, at a glance, the messy corridors are now covered with rubbish left over from the examination room.

The binding pins torn from the test paper, pieces of discarded draft paper, and blue refills that were out of water were all excited and thrown on the ground casually, and the surrounding area was full of joyful atmosphere after the exam .

"Oh! It's finally time to finish the exam! Hey, where is your dad taking you this time? Is it by train? I've never been on a train when I grew up. I heard from my uncle that there is free boiling water on the train. Drink, eat instant noodles, sleep in a sleeper at night, it must be very fun along the way..."

Accompanied by a burst of noisy laughter, a few students from other classes ran past me.

He could hear them discussing the arrangements for the winter vacation enthusiastically, and he heard the sound of trabeculae coming out of the examination room, but he didn't pay attention to it afterwards.

He was looking for brooms and dustpans, which are usually placed at the corner of the classroom door, and a large group of discarded pen refills and draft paper that he had used were vaguely stuffed in the pocket of his school uniform.

Because he didn't want to throw all the exam rubbish in the exam room and increase the trouble for the students on duty in other classes, so he just brought it out with him.

When he got to the door, he first threw all the draft paper and the like into the dustpan next to him.

Then he looked around and saw that there was no one around. The sound of trabeculae that had been tense throughout the exam slowly relaxed the nerves that were almost numb from the exam, and it was completely different from other excited children. The corridor silently let out a sigh of relief.

After reviewing for so many days, I finally felt liberated today, and the final exam that I had been terrified for so long was finally successfully concluded.

In terms of mood, he must be very excited at the moment.

The moment he handed in the paper, he even felt as if he was handing in the most important answer paper of this semester to the teacher.

At the moment, I want to yell like the other happy students in the corridor, or shout out a few times, but in the end, I understand that I have to hold my breath before I get the report card The trabecular sound still suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and he didn't show it too much for a while.

But having said that, he did perform fairly well in today's exam.

During the whole process, he didn't waste a minute or a second, but completely focused his attention on the extremely tight exam in front of him, which can be said to have devoted all his brain cells.

Before that, he had never mobilized himself into an exam like today.

So much so that it was the first time he experienced the feeling that his brain and body were absolutely in sync, and his thinking and knowledge collided with dazzling sparks. He was a little hard to believe that this was his true strength that he could display personally.

Perhaps because of this, he stood up and handed in the paper late after checking the paper repeatedly today.

The invigilators in the two examination rooms waited for him and the other children for a while, until the last bell rang suddenly, and Xiao Liang, who had reacted, quickly stood up with the others to hand in the papers.

He seemed to notice that Xiaoliang Sheng, who was sitting in the back row of the examination room, obviously spent a lot of time on the last graphics question.

When he finished handing in the papers and was about to leave, the male teacher in the ginger suit first glanced at the student ID card on his chest, and then stopped him unexpectedly.

"Hey, wait, classmate, let me ask you a question, do you think today's test paper is difficult?"

The male teacher with an unfamiliar face but a very friendly tone asked him with a smile, as if he was quite interested in the content of this paper and Liang Sheng's evaluation.

"...Also, it's pretty good. The teacher has covered the previous question types...but the last big question is very difficult."

Probably because he didn't expect the invigilator to ask him such a question, Xiao Liangsheng, whose expression paused, turned his head and answered truthfully after thinking about it.

"Oh? So the difficulty ahead is not too difficult for you? However, I seem to see that you have been writing the last question for a long time? Did you finally do it?"

The teacher asked him with a curious smile.

"Well, it's done."

Xiaoliang echoed.

"How many solutions have you made?"

"Two, two and a half, and the third one is not finished."

"Two and a half? That's good haha, most people can't come up with multiple solutions to this question, but today's time is quite tight, so is there time to check the test paper at the end?"

"Well, I checked it. I checked it twice. The teacher told me that you must check it before handing in the paper. That's how to distinguish between 59 points and 99 points, [-] points and [-] points, so you must check."

"...That makes sense. In the future, no matter what major or minor exam you take, you have to check it carefully. Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you don't know it. Maybe everyone won't know it either. It's a pity to lose points that shouldn't be lost. Okay, Go find your classmates for dinner, you must be hungry sitting here for the morning exam, I wish you a good grade in the exam this time, and live up to your hard work, next time I have a chance to discuss this math problem with you... ..."

The male teacher in the ginger suit, who spoke humorously and was also very friendly, looked at the female teacher next to him and smiled.

The female teacher who heard the words also smiled and watched the two of them communicate there from beginning to end without interrupting.

He only took advantage of the opportunity to put the test papers with the bound names into the kraft paper bag and sealed it completely, then stood up and left with the male teacher who seemed to be paying more attention to Liang Sheng.

Because of this little episode, Xiao Liangsheng walked out of the examination room a step slower than the others.

He didn't know who the invigilator was, and he didn't notice that Xue Feng was written on one of the chief examiners of the math paper A of the No. [-] Middle School this time.

And when he, who hadn't foreseen what would happen in the future at this moment, finally handed in the papers and came out of it today, he didn't see Xiao Lin Tong, whom he had made an appointment with in advance, standing outside the examination room waiting for him from a distance.

Seeing this, Xiao Liangsheng's first reaction was to remember that Lin Tong said that he would wait for him at the entrance of the cafeteria first, then he took out his meal ticket from his school uniform trouser pocket, and was about to go downstairs to the cafeteria to find someone.

As a result, as soon as he raised his foot, a little girl's voice came out from behind him and called him loudly. When he turned his head, he saw a familiar little girl with ponytail standing at the entrance of the examination room on the other side. .

After he thought about it carefully, he remembered that it was Cheng Heyu, the class representative of the class next door that Lin Tong had pointed out to him before, and on the other side, the little girl ignored him when she saw him, and trotted over by herself. Unhappily opened his mouth.

"Hey, is Liang Sheng from the next class? I called you just now, why didn't you answer me! My mother just asked me to bring you a message in the office. You should go home after the exam. Don't be at school today." time to eat."

"Your mother? Who is your mother? I know your mother?"

Upon hearing this endless character relationship, Xiao Liang Sheng, who didn't understand for a while, also looked at her inexplicably.

He is different from Lin Tong in normal times. Apart from being absorbed in studying and taking exams, he rarely interacts with outsiders, and he doesn't take part in extracurricular activities at school. Naturally, he doesn't understand how he got to know this girl's mother well.

As a result, the little girl with a bad temper got even angrier when she heard it, and stood in the corridor with her hips in her arms and stared at him loudly,

"Hey, why are you so stupid? Your teacher Wan is my mother, and my mother is your homeroom teacher! She just went to the market to buy vegetables! She said that your brother seems to have come home from another place! So I want you to go home and eat!"

"I, my brother went home? Is this true? Teacher Wan really saw it with his own eyes?"

"Yeah, how many times do I have to repeat it? You were stupid in the exam. Your brother came home and bumped into my mother, so my mother asked me to tell you. Do you understand? Go home quickly, you guys Why are the boys in the class as stupid as that Lin Tong..."

"..."

Teacher Wan's daughter, who came here on purpose to run errands, muttered in such a low voice, and even curled her lips at Liang Sheng, a good-for-nothing stinky boy, with a look of disgust.

These days, junior high school girls and boys are mostly in a relationship that they don't like each other, because the awareness of gender antagonism has just sprouted, so this little girl also temporarily brought her contempt for Lin Xiaoer to Xiao Liangsheng.

But as soon as he left the examination room, he learned such great news from others.

Wan never thought that the person I had been waiting for for so long would come home at this time, Xiao Liangsheng couldn't care about other things for a while, and when he regained his senses, he didn't care about answering the girl when he realized it, he turned around and stepped forward anxiously Run downstairs quickly.

He ran fast, as if the soul was still there, and as soon as he moved his legs, he shot out like a rocket.

And the daughter of their homeroom teacher, Madam Wan, was surprised when she saw such a gourd-like little boy suddenly turn around and run away to her, and shouted angrily, "Why did Liang Sheng run so fast all of a sudden without even saying thank you?" '.

But before she poked her head out from the stairs to blame people, two meal tickets were thrown up at her people from downstairs, and then Xiao Liang's annoying voice ran and shouted from afar stand up.

"...Thank you! Thank you, Teacher Wan, for helping me too! I'm going home first! Please tell Lin Tong, he's waiting for me in the cafeteria! I'm going home first! Goodbye! Sorry to trouble you!"

……

"What, what! Ask me to help with the conversation again! I don't want to talk to the annoying Lin Tong! Liang Sheng! You scoundrel! Come back to me! Come back!"

……

When Liang Sheng rushed home from school, the first thing he saw was the sleek domestic car parked in front of the vegetable market.

The windshield of that car had a new license plate vaguely hung on it, a string of red cloth strips was hung on the side of the car door, and the windshield wipers and tires looked like they had returned from a trip in a hurry, so it was inevitable that there would be a lot of rain cement spots.

But even so, it is still difficult to conceal the fact that this is a rare car in this era, and not every family can afford gasoline.

Liang Sheng had only seen such a grand car on TV before.

It is said that generally only those foreigners and people in big cities can afford to drive, and the license plate and gas money are quite a lot. Small places like them are always rare.

So for the first time, this car also brought him a great surprise, so that he was frightened for a moment, and such doubtful thoughts arose in his heart.

Whose car is this?Why did it stop at Aunt Jin's house?

Could it be that my brother really made a lot of money outside this time?So the big boss drove him home too?

The child was thinking so naively, obviously he hadn't accepted from the bottom of his heart the fact that his brother had transformed from a mud-legged gangster riding a tricycle in the vegetable market to a local rich man.

And accompanied by a lot of discussions around, Jin Ping's family even brought this small farmer's market surrounded by many people. From a distance, they were all neighbors who were watching the excitement in the vegetable market and were amazed at the car. neighbors.

Seeing this, Xiao Liangsheng, who was carrying a schoolbag, stopped panting and put his knees on his knees at the door before resting for a while, listening to many people discussing Uncle Cao and his brother going home.

Therefore, in the crowd, there was a vague chatter and laughter of a young man standing next to the car at the door of his house, raising his voice while moving things and answering the questions of the people around him.

"Brother Wang! Hey, yes! I just came home! I went to the provincial capital last month, this car? Yes, this car is newly bought, and I just drove it back this time haha..."

"Business? Yes, I went with my brother. The business was good. I brought some baijiu cigarettes home along the way. Why don't you take two cigarettes back to smoke later? You brought them back together on this trip. Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, we are all acquaintances haha..."

This tone, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was his brother who always liked to joke with people in a glib manner. There was no one else. With this lazy but comfortable mature voice, no matter how he heard it, he couldn't get it wrong.

And just running home, the sound of trabeculae, covered in sweat in the school uniform, was filled with excitement and joy for a moment, his face was flushed, he bent down and quickly got out of the crowd, and jumped out with incomparable accuracy. The person who was thinking about it day and night rushed over and shouted.

"...Brother! Brother! You're back!"

Seeing his relatives eagerly, he jumped up, waved his hands and shouted loudly.

The crowd watching the excitement around them dispersed automatically for a while, and the nearby people who were doing business and buying vegetables laughed and coaxed when they saw Xiao Liang's voice coming out of school, saying,

"Oh, look, it's your little high-achieving student who came home? He's so sensible and went home without picking up after school."

And Liang Sheng, who was bending over in the back seat of the car to take out the crates of liquor, thinking of leaving his seat to pick up someone from school later, was also surprised when he heard the voice.

When the cigarette in his mouth dropped in a hurry, he threw away the things in his hand with a smile on his face, and hurried home after staying up all night, so he squatted down in a slightly wrinkled casual card gray suit, fur lining and Nike sneakers. He opened his arms and yelled the same thing.

"Ouch! Our top student came home so early! Come and let me give you a hug! I really missed me along the way! He even said that he would drive to school to pick you up later, why did you run so fast by yourself..."

"..."

"Hey, I haven't seen anyone for a month! Don't blame your brother this time, I have a special surprise this time! I brought it back specially for our top students! Don't be angry! Forgive me..."

Tearing off his face like this, he coaxed his child vigorously, and Comrade Daliang Sheng, who was smiling so blindly, also raised Xiao Liang Sheng in his arms with both hands.

Hearing this, Xiao Liangsheng, who was like a foolish boy, suddenly became angry and lost all worries, and looked at his brother with eyes full of eyes, as if he was looking at the sugar in the honey pot.

Hearing that there was a surprise again, he nodded his head vigorously just after the final exam, and hugged his brother's neck happily, and then the two brothers rubbed their heads against each other's sweaty neck. They started fighting next to the car again.

But when she heard the noise from a distance inside, she hurried out with a plastic vegetable basket and a big apron tied around her waist. Jin Ping, who was good at picking up a basket of wild winter bamboo shoots, also let out an ooh when she saw someone, and then sighed helplessly. road,

"Yeah, sound home? Thanks to Mr. Wan who just came to the vegetable market to give me a message. Come on, come in with your brother first! I made two dishes, and you all have to sit down and eat quickly. Did Mrs. Zhang and Wang eat? Ah, don’t, there are a lot of people in the family today, so I’m leaving now..."

While driving people inside, Jin Ping looked up at the outside and greeted Jin Ping standing at the door like this.

People from other vegetable markets who came to look at the cars did not want to stay too much, and they all waved their hands politely and smiled and went home.

Seeing this, the two brothers were also playing and running towards the house with their schoolbags that were about to fall, causing Jin Ping to follow behind helplessly and shouted, wash your hands quickly and don't make trouble for me before following in. .

And when he turned his head again, the shutter door was closed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there were small dining tables propped up on both sides.

Jin Ping, with a big apron tied around her waist, hastily wiped her hands with a rag, and when she came out with two plates of freshly fried hot dishes, the car that had driven straight up to the door had already parked and covered it. The big red cloth that blocks the gray.

There are more than a dozen boxes of Maotai liquor, cigarettes and wild mountain products that Liang Sheng and Lao Cao brought back from the provincial capital in the warehouse next to them. They are all tightly tied in red plastic bags. Fei.

Those boxes of bottled Moutai all have a conspicuous five-star brand—this is the unified packaging of all the high-priced rare liquors of the Moutai distillery since 1975.

At first glance, the packaging is very simple and elegant. It seems that it is made by Guizhou United Winery, but I don’t know how much it will cost to wholesale so much at one time from a big city like the provincial capital where the land is expensive and the consumption is high. .

As for the small dining table in front of you, there are several large pots of fried dragon vegetables, eggplants, fried bacon with wild winter bamboo shoots, and a large bowl of winter melon hooves.

The fragrant heat made it hard to go home. Lao Cao and Liang Sheng, who had washed and shaved their faces, had eyes hot for a moment, and Xiao Liang Sheng, who had taken off his school uniform and was sitting on a small stool, guarded the table and started eating voraciously. .

"Sister-in-law! Stop cooking! There are enough dishes for the four of us! Come here quickly!"

"Yeah, come on, come on, you woman, it's not like we're not going home, why cook so many dishes when we're happy, Asheng and Xiaosheng are my family..."

"Okay, okay, I got it! I'm here, you open a bottle of white wine, and I'll go to the canteen to get a bottle of Sprite..."

Hearing that the delicious faces of his own family, Cao and Liang Sheng, were beckoning to let him sit down and eat.

Since they came home at noon, Jin Ping, who had been busy with her feet on the ground, responded with unconcealed joy. At the same time, with a smile on her lips, her heart that had been hanging for almost a month finally came here. It is down.

That's great, the whole family is back.

People say that when they are away from home, the family members are also worried and afraid. They have not been able to sleep well for more than a month. At least I can sleep peacefully tonight. It's so good, so good.

Thinking more and more relieved in her heart, Jin Ping, who ran out and took a one-liter bottle of Sprite from the nearest canteen, also showed a heartfelt joyful smile.

After she ran home and closed the door on the threshold, the four people who hadn't eaten at the same table for almost 20 days were finally reunited.

But having said that, when Jin Ping saw these two people just now, they looked unkempt, probably because they were rushing home these two days, and didn't brush their teeth or wash their faces.

The clothes and trousers were wrinkled, as if they were fished out of someone's pickle jar, and there was a faint smell of strangeness and sourness that had not been changed for several nights and was forced to sweat a lot.

When they set off to discuss investment in the provincial capital, these two people who went out to do business were still in good order, and now when they rushed home together, it turned into this scene.

It's just that no one can believe it, the two of them were able to go home safely this time, but what happened to them on the way.

"...What? The 12.4 provincial capital super high-speed serial rear-end collision accident?"

In front of the small dining table filled with cups, rice bowls and Sprite, both Jin Ping and Xiao Liang Sheng looked at Liang Sheng and Lao Cao in the same incredulous tone.

Jin Ping and Xiao Liang Sheng were worried at home last night because Liang Sheng suddenly hung up the phone, and it was even more unexpected to hear the story now.

Especially Xiao Liangsheng, who had been depressed for a long time because he didn't have time to talk to Daliang Sheng before the exam yesterday, and for a while, he asked anxiously out of the child's fear of such car accidents.

"Brother... you guys, are you all okay in the end?"

When he asked this question, Xiaoliang Sheng's undeveloped vocal cords tightened silently.

And sitting on the edge, hearing that he had picked up a piece of tendon for his child with chopsticks, Liang Sheng laughed heartily and sighed, then patted his knees and continued with the little white wine in the small cup,

"Don't be afraid haha, your brother and I are in danger, and this time we did a good deed. Didn't the two of us come out of the provincial capital this time and take the main road? I started to call you last night to talk back I’m having dinner at home, and I happened to catch up with you for the exam, but who knows the result, before we even reached the Changping toll gate, a series of accidents occurred in the first few buses, and the bus that we hadn’t arrived at was also blocked..."

"..."

"I heard that it seems that a medical vehicle in Zhongshan City, Guangzhou collided with people and overturned. Several patients with unknown illnesses were temporarily transferred to the intensive care unit in Heyuan City. The medical staff on the vehicle were carrying White masks and protective guards, the glass was broken, and the patient's stretcher was carried down to block the road, making it difficult for other cars behind. Zhongshan Hospital temporarily contacted Heyuan's car to pick up these patients, but the road condition was too bad, so the whole road was blocked. The road was blocked overnight because of this accident..."

"Then later?"

Hearing this, Xiao Liangsheng, who seemed to have seen the chaos on the road, squatted on the small chair and stared at his brother more nervously.

"Later, we contacted Lao Pang temporarily to drive the car outside the toll booth, and then rushed home early. When we hung up the phone, we were helping those medical staff carry stretchers. Those few Both the patient and the doctor were hit hard, blood was everywhere on the floor, and I don’t know how the matter will be dealt with in the end... Speaking of Laoguan, let’s go with the old man who has been scolding the Korean guy for playing dirty. At the time, did the traffic police and the medical vehicle of Heyuan City come?"

Having said that, recalling the scene of him and Lao Cao carrying a stretcher with a group of enthusiastic people on the highway last night, Liang Sheng, who had already returned home, obviously still had some fresh memories.

After all, having lived so long, he has always been a little gangster, but he has never done such good deeds with so many people so enthusiastically that it makes his chest burn.

In the bottomless night sky in the middle of the night, on the entire road with lights on, everyone was sitting or standing on the side of the road anxiously waiting for the provincial traffic police to come to clear the road.

It wasn't until a burst of headlights illuminated the screaming patient and a bloody nurse in front of the medical vehicle that everyone realized that at the first moment of the rear-end collision, a young nurse had slashed her head in order to protect her patient. Badly bruised.

"I'm Zhongshan Hospital... a nurse from Zhongshan Hospital. If you have a mobile phone, please contact Heyuan City 120! My patient... my patient was also injured, and he still has an undiagnosed disease. We must Assist in the transfer, and please don't approach rashly... Thank you all, please do me a favor and contact our general hospital..."

The female nurse with blood on her forehead stretched out her hand with a pale face, while reminding everyone to pay attention to their own safety as much as possible from the white mask, and not to approach the patients with diseases.

Accidents happen unintentionally, and what people in crashes and traffic jams do is completely spontaneous indeed.

Relying on the goodwill in people's hearts, a group of middle-aged people and young people from different professions in society began to come down to help push carts and save people.

The string of lighted car lights illuminated the Changping Toll Station in the night, and also illuminated people's hearts.

For this reason, the patients on the stretchers have obtained faster transfer and rescue time, and the order of the road conditions on the highway has been maintained by enthusiastic drivers passing by.

The Cantonese driver who was driving a truck next to him with the championship flag of the Guangzhou Football League hanging on the windshield also took a Red Bull drink from the rear compartment and gave it to the big guy who participated in the rescue.

Obviously the big guys are strangers, but what happened on this road this night still makes people feel warm. No wonder, Cao Maocai replied helplessly and wanted to laugh when he thought of it now,

"Come on, come on, that buddy also left us his phone number in Zhongshan City, but the doctor and nurse who were so seriously injured even left us disinfectant before leaving, saying that they came into contact with a patient and went home twelve Remember to disinfect within an hour, and call Zhongshan Hospital if you have something to do... Hey, it’s strange to say, what kind of disease are the people in that car? Ah Sheng, did you hear clearly?"

"I don't know. I was walking in front and didn't hear clearly, but didn't we all wash our hands with disinfectant according to the nurse's reminder before entering the house? It's probably not a big deal. Look at the tone of the doctors and nurses." It's all good, do you want to watch the news broadcast at night?"

Liang Sheng, who had always been mad at him, patted his head like this, as if he really didn't care.

On the way home from the provincial capital, he was trying to catch up with Xiao Liangsheng's exam, and to save someone from a rear-end collision accident. He hadn't had the brains to think about the things behind this small medical car, so he naturally There is no connection between this incident and anything that is about to happen in the future.

On the contrary, as a woman, Jin Ping still looked at the two men with a bit of uneasiness, then shook her head and blamed helplessly, saying,

"Hey, you two still have to treat them as snacks. This person is kind enough to say that. It's hard to say whether the disease in the hospital is serious or not. In the past two days, I will buy more disinfectant for you to wash your hands. There are germs. I guess you should wash your hands." It's gone after washing... But it's definitely good to go out and do good deeds, the old people say that Bodhisattvas protect kind-hearted people, right, sound?"

"Yeah! Yes! Do what is right! My brother and Uncle Cao are living Lei Feng!"

Xiao Liangsheng, who was already smiling, gave his brother two thumbs up with admiration.

"Haha, that's right, it's okay, it's over, everyone, eat quickly, congratulate Shengsheng for the end of the exam, and also congratulate the other two members of our family, our family is finally reunited—— "

Accompanied by these words, a burst of laughter erupted in the small shop in front of the vegetable market, and momentary sorrow, parting, and troubles were all left behind.

Carefree, life is good, family can go home and reunite, it's really a happy thing, isn't it?
