I stood for a long time, and I seemed to think a lot in my mind, but it seemed that I didn't think about anything. It wasn't until a cyclist passed by on the bridge that I realized it was time to go home, or even my parents who had adopted a liberal education would be angry.
I ran all the way home, it was already eleven o'clock, my mother's face was ugly, I didn't wait for her to ask, I took the initiative to apologize: "Xiaofei and I were watching 'Robocat' late at my classmate's house, and I didn't pay attention to the time." I'm really glad that that In the 1990s, few houses installed telephones.
Mom and Dad's expressions softened: "Go to bed quickly, and pay attention to the time next time."
I nodded and immediately went to brush my teeth and wash my face.
After that, I often saw Zhang Jun and that woman in the karaoke hall. Everyone said she was Zhang Jun's girlfriend. I vaguely knew that she was already working and was a kindergarten teacher. I don't want to know, even her name, I refuse to listen, even if I hear it, I refuse to remember it, it seems that as long as I don't know her name, I can pretend she doesn't exist.
The summer vacation that I used to be happy like a fairy appeared in the shadows. For the first time, I knew that when I stared at someone, my chest would swell, and when I heard a song, I wanted to cry. In fact, I never told Zhang Jun has any hope, but maybe I have fantasies in my heart that I don't even know about, so I feel very sad when I see it with my own eyes. I would even think viciously, why doesn't this woman look down on Zhang Jun like Guan He? She had better get rid of Zhang Jun.
That woman likes to sing "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" very much. She must sing this song every time she goes to K karaoke hall.
Every time I hear this song, I have no mood to do anything. "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is listed as my most hated song. I naively hid all the tapes of this song in the karaoke hall. Get up, other guests can't sing, that's fine, but the girl is very stubborn and insists on singing this song. Xiaobo was frantically looking around, and he had to say "I'm sorry" to the girls over and over again. I couldn't see it, so I could only pull out the tape from under the sofa, pretending to have just found it, and hand it to them as if nothing had happened.
The girl happily took the tape, repeatedly said "thank you", and kindly invited me to play with them. I said coldly and with extreme disrespect: "I don't like singing."
The girl smiled awkwardly: "I see that you play in the karaoke hall all day, but you don't like to sing?"
Xiaobo hurried me out of the box before my dog could spit out snarls again. Zhang Jun sat indifferently on the sofa from beginning to end, a kind of detachment from reading other people's stories.
The door of the box was closed, I thought sourly, do you still have the same expression after closing the door
The lady who helped them deliver the drinks asked Xiaobo and me, "That Zhang Junzhen and Qiqi are in the same grade?"
I ignored her, and Xiaobo replied kindly, "It's a grade."
The young lady said in great surprise, "He really doesn't look like a child, he's more grown up than an adult."
I immediately said, "Although he is in the same grade as me, he has been retained. He is two years older than me, and he is an older repeater."
Xiaobo has probably never seen me so mean. He glanced at me, smiled and said to the young lady: "A person's age is in his heart, not his face. You are fifteen years old this year, and many people your age are just entering the second year of junior high school. , you are still sitting in the classroom and making noises, but you are already working outside to make money, not only supporting yourself, but also sending money to your home for your brother to study. If they see you, they must not believe that you are the same age as them. "
When the young lady left with a tray in hand, she said, "Everyone's life is different. They are children in the city, and I am a child in the countryside. There is no comparison."
Every summer vacation, there are two grades, one is the result of the high school entrance examination, and the other is the result of the college entrance examination.
After the results of the senior high school entrance examination are released, the No. 1 High School will publish the results in a list at the gate of the school. No. 1 Middle School is very funny. The grades of its junior high school students are posted on the right, and the names of students who have been admitted to the high school are posted on the left. Therefore, there are countless anxious parents and candidates in front of the school gate, including candidates and parents from other high schools.
Because Wang Zheng took the exam this year, Xiao Fei was very concerned, and dragged me to see the ranking of No. 1 Middle School early in the morning. Although Xiaofei and I are tall compared to our peers, we are still short when we stand with adults, so we typically get up early, catch a late show, and wait for others. When we had almost seen it, we finally squeezed to the front and saw the list clearly.
Xiaofei started watching from the first one, I didn't say anything, quietly started watching from the last one, Wang Zheng's results have been heard long ago, and watching from the first one is a waste of time and energy, but naturally, this can't be said to Xiaofei. Fei said.
Soon, I saw Wang Zheng's name. According to the results after the name, it was obvious that he not only missed the key high schools, but also ordinary high schools. He should only apply for the technical school.
Xiaofei still looked down attentively one by one, and I stayed there too, so I accompanied her to watch from the front. After looking at forty or fifty names, I found a familiar name, Chen Jin. I stared at the hair for a few seconds, the name was so blandly sandwiched in a pile of names.
There were nearly 400 candidates in No. 1 High School. When I saw each of them, I was blinded. Finally, Xiao Fei saw Wang Zheng's name.
She stood silently, watching it over and over, as if not believing what she was seeing. I've never been good at comforting people, so I can only stand in silence.
All of a sudden, she began to cry, sobbing so loudly and hoarsely.
OMG! None of the students who failed the list cried, but she cried as if she had failed. The parents and students at the school gate all looked at us. Xiaofei burst into tears. I didn’t care what other people were doing.
Some parents were sulking because their child did not pass the test. Seeing Xiao Fei crying so sadly, they pointed at the child and scolded: "Look at you, there is no reaction if you fail the test, at least they know how to cry when they fail the test. , I know I regret not studying hard before."
His child is depressed, and I am even more depressed!
I won't persuade anyone, I can only watch Xiaofei cry silently. Xiaofei is really like a person made of water. She cried for half an hour, but her tears still disappeared. I felt distressed and said in a sullen voice, "Don't cry!"
While weeping, Xiaofei asked anxiously, "What should I do? He didn't go to high school, and I'm going to college in the future, so we can't be together anymore?"
"You don't dislike him, it's fine!"
"Then why does he despise me?"
I really doubted that Xiaofei's brain structure was different from that of humans, and said helplessly: "How could he dislike you? You will be a college student in the future!"
Xiao Fei was skeptical, but her tears finally stopped. I originally wanted to invite her to eat ice cream and cold skin to make up for her lost vitality. I didn't expect this guy to have only color and no friends in his eyes: "Qi Qi, I I can't play with you anymore, I want to find Wang Zheng, he must be very sad now, I want to see him."
It's not that Wang Zheng failed in the exam, but his grades have always been poor. He should have expected his results long ago. If he was going to be sad, he would be sad. Why wait until today to be sad? However, to Xiao Fei, she could only say: "Okay, then you can go find him!"
Xiaofei rode her bicycle away in a hurry. I had nothing to do, so I simply walked to the red list on the left to see who was admitted to the high school of the first high school. A total of 400 people were admitted to the first high school, and Chen Jin's name was between 200 and 300, so it was not easy to find. Next to me, there were two women watching the fun like me, whispering: "Is this Chen Jin the son of our deputy director?"
"That's it!"
"Didn't you hear that her son is very smart?"
"In the past, it seemed that the deputy station had contacted the Provincial Writers Association, and wanted to compile her son into one of the 100 outstanding young people in New China. Later, the child did not live up to her expectations. No matter how high her heart was, she could only give up."
I stared at Chen Jin's name and thought about hurting Zhongyong. I wonder if his mother regretted letting him skip grades, but Chen Jin... thinking about his appearance, I always felt that he was not like Zhongyong, Zhongyong was just a nerd, Far less cunning and cunning than Chen Jin.

speech contest
Some people envy the beauty of the stars, reach out to pick them, and work hard for a long time, but they can't get them.
People laugh at: self-control.
He replied: reaching out to reach for the stars, although I haven't gotten the stars, my heart is full of beautiful scenery and my hands are not polluted.
At the end of the dreary and desolate summer vacation, and the new school year began, we moved from the first floor to the second floor and began to be students in the second year of junior high school.
As soon as school started, Teacher Zeng Hong informed me that I would participate in the speech contest for middle school students organized by the city this semester, and asked me to prepare a speech. The subject matter is not limited, as long as the subject is healthy and positive. When she said that the theme should be healthy and positive, she couldn't help laughing, and I laughed too. It's very strange, since Teacher Zhao in elementary school, I have been shunned by teachers like evil spirits, but I have a strange affinity with Teacher Zeng Hong.
I said, "Why me? What if I can't win the prize?"
She was impatient: "Why do you keep so many question marks? Just do what you want."
"I don't think I can do it. In fact, last time I was on stage, my calf was shaking, and I couldn't even laugh out loud."
Teacher Zeng flicked the soot and said with a smile, "You even stood on the ping-pong table. I think you laughed well, but you are afraid to stand on the platform of the lecture hall?"
I think about it too, now that I am a cheeky person who is turning around the Great Wall, what else is there to be afraid of
After the manuscript was written, after Teacher Zeng revised it, he asked me to write it again. After I finished it, she revised it again. The two of them grinded it together and revised the manuscript five times before deciding on the speech. At the same time, she began to train me to speak. At the beginning, she only asked me to stand in my seat and read the text aloud in the Chinese morning class. After I got used to it, she asked me to stand on the podium and recite the poems. The content was not limited, as long as it was Ancient poetry is fine.
This is really easy. Thanks to the gift of prodigy Chen Jin, I have also dabbled in everything from The Book of Songs to the Poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by Zeng Hong on the first day: "Do you know that Chinese poetry is called poetry? Reciting it like this really humiliates the word 'poetry'."
I walked down the podium with a stern face, thinking in my mind how to understand that poetry is called poetry.
After returning home from school, turn on the radio, find the literary station, and listen to the poetry recitation carefully. From poetry reading to storytelling, lyric play, and prose appreciation, I spend my lunch break in front of the radio every day. Every afternoon, I will find a secluded corner to practice in front of the woods or white clouds.
Teacher Zeng ignored what I was doing, and only asked me to come on stage to recite poems every day. Sometimes she would scold me a few times, and sometimes she would not say a word. Anyway, when I finished reciting, she let me go down. After a long time, no matter what my classmates under the podium think of me, I have a feeling of seeing others as nothing.
Brother Li's dance hall is ready and ready to open, but the name has not yet come up, such as "Lili Song and Dance Hall", "Night Rose Song and Dance Hall", "Galaxy Song and Dance Hall", Brother Li thinks it is vulgar, and said to Xiaobo: "You help me. I want a name." Xiaobo laughed a few times, Brother Li didn't express his opinion, he denied it first, he crumpled the paper beside him, smashed it at me, who was lying on the sofa, and said, "Qi Qi , help me think of a name."
My head was full of poems and I said casually, "On the water side."
Brother Li was unhappy: "Why do you want to be on the water side? I can't wait to pave the road to the door of the guests and ask them to come every day."
Xiaobo smiled and said: "The place where people go every day is home, but it is precisely because this home is visited every day that the other world is attractive. On the water side, one wants to see but can't see clearly, and can't get it if he wants to. ."
Brother Li laughed and scolded: "Okay, my head hurts when I hear it. It happens that the fortune teller says that my five elements are short of water, and water can make money, so I ask for a good omen and use this name."
Brother Li finished his business, looked at Xiaobo and said, "Liu is not very satisfied with you, you should pay more attention."
Xiaobo said, "I'm sorry."
I began to listen attentively. Brother Li looked at me and stared at him, and said with a smile, "Look at you, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat Xiaobo? Are you staring at people like arrows?"
Xiaobo stood between me and Brother Li and said apologetically, "Brother Li..."
Brother Li waved his hand: "Xiao Bo, don't be so meticulous, she is the one I grew up watching, so I can still care about her? And I think this girl seems to be a good match for us, you don't think our business is getting better and better. Is it smoother?"
I burst out laughing, and Xiaobo laughed too. Brother Li said with a bit of embarrassment, "Don't laugh. Some things are better to be believed than not to be believed."
After a few words of laughter, the quarrel between the three was over, Xiaobo smiled and sat on the sofa, Li Ge looked at us and said, "I'm not afraid of Xiaoliu, when Lao Tzu is hanging out, he still doesn't know where to blow his nose, it's just that , We are doing business now, not a triad, and we are not going the same way as Xiaoliu, they like to be brave and fight hard, and we are talking about making money with peace."
Xiaobo said immediately: "I understand."
Brother Li added: "Xiao Bo, I told you about my thoughts when we became sworn brothers. When I was young, which man was not bloody? Who the hell doesn't want to be the boss? But what about my boss? What about the buddy who is the eldest? It's either a crippling or a slaughter. On the contrary, the person who was slack back then got a wife and gave birth to a child. Zhigang, who is following me now, was also the No. 1 in the past. Character, but before he and I, do you know what he is doing?"
Neither Xiaobo nor I said a word. Xiaobo knew about it, but he didn't want to spoil Brother Li's interest in talking. I really don't know, I just vaguely remember that there was a cripple named Zhigang next to Brother Li.
Brother Li took a cigarette and said, "I'm riding a tricycle! I'm holding you down now for your own good! Being a grandson is no big deal. As long as you have money to make, I won't let you be your grandson for the rest of your life."
Xiaobo said, "I won't upset Xiaoliu again in the future."
Brother Li nodded and asked, "Do you want to stay in the karaoke hall to help? Or go to the dance hall?"
Xiaobo said, "Karaoke hall."
Brother Li smiled and said, "Well, after all, you are in the second year of high school, and you want to go to university, study hard, and strive to be the first college student among us. As long as you pass the exam, I will pay for the tuition."
Xiaobo said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Li."
Brother Li stood up, walked out, and when he passed by the sofa, he suddenly stretched out his hand and took off my glasses. I screamed and chased after him. A few years ago, you called me 'Brother Li' in a milky voice, if it weren't for me, your little girl would have been killed long ago, and now you dare to stare at me."
I jumped to reach it, but I couldn't reach it. Brother Li said, "Call me big brother, and I'll spare you."
Everyone in the hall looked at us and laughed, and the squid also coaxed: "The four-eyed panda is called Big Brother."
Xiaobo crossed his arms and leaned against the door smiling.
