Grade 3 placement tests are held on the last Saturday in September.
The progress of study cannot be delayed, so I took the test of six courses all day on Saturday.
At the beginning of the test, people could still keep their spirits up, but when it came to the last political test, Lin Zhaoxi felt that her physical and mental strength had almost reached the limit, her arms were sore, but she was still trying her best to remember and keep writing.
When the hand-in bell rang, the whole class let out a long sigh of relief.
The teacher asked to pass the test paper up, and Bao Xiaomeng sat behind her and poked her back with the test paper.
Lin Zhaoxi turned her head to take it, and at first glance found that Bao Xiaomeng's political exam paper had a lot of big questions, and she didn't even write a few sentences perfunctorily.
She frowned, but classmate Bao Xiaomeng acted as if nothing had happened, and turned her head to ask Zheng Mate if there was a basketball game, and she would take another beautiful girl from the next class to watch it.
"It's in the playground of No. 1 Middle School." Zheng Mate smiled, because she happened to turn her head, so Zheng Mate subconsciously asked: "Will Baby Chaoxi come to see it?"
After Zheng Mate asked, he realized that something was wrong. He paused, and An Xiaoxiao said, "Tianming, you're overthinking. Lin Zhaoxi is going to Zhongming's class soon, why would he play with poor students like us?"
Lin Zhaoxi was suddenly embarrassed, Zheng Tianming showed him a sorry smile, and then said to An Xiaoxiao: "Baby Xiaoxiao is thinking too much~"
An Xiaoxiao: "Hehe."
Lin Zhaoxi hurriedly turned her head and passed the test paper forward.
Similar conversations are going on in many corners of the classroom, asking where to go to play, talking about what to eat for dinner, the atmosphere in the class is of course very interesting and harmonious, but no one is answering questions or discussing topics, not like a third-year graduate class .
Lin Zhaoxi didn't know why she suddenly cared about this, cared that the class didn't have a learning atmosphere, cared that everyone didn't take it seriously... cared... no one cared about the future...
She remained silent, handed in the paper, and began to clear the table.
One side of the desk is her place, which is relatively clean, and the other side is Brother Sleeping God's place, which is full of all kinds of messy ghost symbols. She put the pencil case into her schoolbag and continued to organize the things in the belly of the table.
At noon today, Li Shu specially called her and Pei Zhi out of the class again, and told them very bluntly that their scores in the three subjects other than Chinese and Mathematics are all very good, and they will definitely be assigned to Zhonghua University without any accidents. Ming class.
And next Monday morning meeting, each class will announce the placement test results uniformly, and before the first class, they can go to the new class with their schoolbags. So Li Shu asked them to take the useless things home after the exam today, so they can go to the new class directly on Monday, without moving around...
When Li Shu talked about the reasons for asking them to bring things home, her speech speed slowed down significantly, and Lin Zhaoxi could roughly understand the unfinished meaning in her words - if you want to leave, you can leave quickly, without moving around , being watched by the whole class, it is quite embarrassing for everyone.
Therefore, in order to prevent this embarrassing scene from happening, Lin Zhaoxi could only pack up her things. She collected it very slowly, but Bao Xiaomeng, Zheng Mate and the students watching the basketball game of the No. 1 Middle School all ran away in an instant.
But some people didn't leave...
"You left our class on Monday?" Brother Sleeping God just woke up and looked at her with squinted eyes.
Lin Zhaoxi was taken aback, and replied hesitantly: "But...maybe... no, I'm not sure yet, I just pack up."
"Pack up and take the dictionary away?"
Lin Zhaoxi blushed when she saw a large piece bulging out of her schoolbag.
"You are a nice person, don't stay in our class."
After Brother Sleeping God left these words, he dragged his schoolbag and left, very chic.
Lin Zhaoxi stared at his back in a daze.
When she regained her senses, only the students on duty were left in the classroom.
The broom sweeps across the ground with a quiet rustle. Books at different heights are placed on the desk, clothes you forget to take away are hanging on the back of the chair, the leaves of the spider plant in the corner of the plant are drooping, and the window is sparsely dusty. Under the setting sun, there seems to be a little bit of gold sand floating in the air.
Lin Zhaoxi put the last exercise book on the desk into her schoolbag, but as if sensing something, her hand stopped pressing the book,
She turned to the first page, on which the words "Zhongming Class" were definitely written in red pen.
—
Lin Chaoxi left the class with Pei Zhi as usual.
Pei Zhi packed lightly, the schoolbag was the same as when he was in school, and he didn't bring anything else. Lin Zhaoxi stared at the boy's schoolbag, struggled for a while, but still didn't ask him.
However, the moment they walked out of the school gate, they stopped at the same time.
In front of the small stall outside the school gate, someone was receiving pancakes from the stall owner. Seeing them, the man greeted them happily, then opened the plastic bag without hesitation, and took a bite of the hot pancakes.
Except for Lao Lin, there is no one else who can eat alone in front of the children.
Lin Zhaoxi rushed to Lao Lin: "Father, why did you come to pick me up?"
"Seeing that you don't think about eating and drinking these days, I come here to pick you up and have a heart-to-heart talk, and show my father's love by the way." Lao Lin said bluntly.
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
"Pei Zhi go home by himself." Lao Lin patted Pei Zhi on the shoulder, pushed the bicycle with one hand, and walked directly with her in the other direction.
There was no dialogue between her and Lao Lin until Lao Lin finished eating the pancake. Comrade Lao Lin sometimes smacked his lips, sometimes got burned, and his bicycle was pushed crookedly, but even so, Lao Lin didn't have any intention of splitting her half.
Lin Zhaoxi has... got used to it...
After walking for a while, Lin Zhaoxi finally couldn't hold back: "Father, how long... I... can't walk anymore."
Lao Lin smiled: "Where are we going if you want to come out?"
"You didn't say it earlier!"
"If I said it earlier, how could I trick you into taking two extra steps to lose weight?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
Lao Lin still had a smile on his face, Lin Zhaoxi couldn't beat him at all, it was worth turning his head forcibly and looking around. So, the plot is such a weird arrangement. Before she knew it, she and Lao Lin walked near the back door of No. 1 Middle School in Anning City.
The basketball court is not far ahead, and cheering shouts can be heard in the wind.
Zheng Tianming leaped up to shoot after dribbling, while Bao Xiaomeng shouted in the stands. On the day Pei Zhi came, they played against Class 1. At that time, everyone was united and tacit understanding. There was no distance between them as it is now. .
Seeing her in a daze, Lao Lin glanced at the basketball court, then smiled, and walked there pushing his bicycle. There was no shelter outside the fence of the basketball court, and she and Lao Lin stood alone, very abrupt and easy to be spotted.
A long whistle sounded on the court, indicating the end of a period.
Sooner or later, a figure dropped the basketball and came galloping from the court.
Seeing the afterimage, Lin Zhaoxi subconsciously stuck herself behind the telephone pole.
"Hello, baby Zhaoxi, is this uncle your brother?" Zheng Mate said hello loudly, pulling on the fence with a bright smile.
"The young man is very good at talking." Lao Lin praised her kindly, and turned to call her, "Come out, the telephone poles can't cover you."
Lin Zhaoxi: "Don't turn around and talk to me..."
"Did Chaoxi come here to watch me play?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "No."
Lao Lin: "Yes."
Lin Zhaoxi was successfully betrayed by her father again.
More eyes were cast from the stands, Bao Xiaomeng remained silent, An Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, but many outgoing and cheerful classmates jumped up and waved at her, and some people shouted in great frustration: "Lin, Chao, Xi, Why are you here!"
Lin Zhaoxi's hand in return was still raised in the air, upon hearing this, she retracted her hand, extremely embarrassed.
"Fuck your mother!" Zheng Tianming turned his head and gave the boys who shouted the loudest a middle finger, "Don't try to repudiate your debt!"
"Repudiation?"
"We are betting whether you will come to see us play~"
"What's the gamble..."
"Because whether you love us or not is very important~"
Ma Te Zheng's smile is sincere, although with his hippie smile, it is more like a lie to make a girl happy, but probably all the toothpicks in his ears and nose have been replaced with tinkling silver rings, which made Lin Zhaoxi feel sincere.
Sure enough, real money is more reliable than toothpicks... Lin Zhaoxi fell into a very inexplicable emotion, and Zheng Mate still looked at her with a smile.
"You... you go to the competition, cheer up!" Lin Zhaoxi came back to his senses.
Zheng Mate patted his chest like a gorilla, and ran away quickly.
Lao Lin: "Not as handsome as Pei Zhi, do you hesitate?"
"I'm not entangled..." Lin Zhaoxi said this, and looked at Lao Lin suddenly, "!!!"
Lao Lin wouldn't think that she was "not thinking about tea and rice" recently because she was worrying whether she would stay in Class 13 with Zheng Tianming or go to Class 1 with Pei Zhi
"Dad, it's not what you think!"
"What's that like?"
Lao Lin asked.
—
"I was wondering if you could... teach our class..."
Sitting with Lao Lin on the bench in the small park at the entrance of the alley, Lin Zhaoxi peeled a roasted potato, and finally asked what he had hesitated for many days.
"No." Lao Lin's answer was the opposite of her hesitation.
Lin Zhaoxi was scalded by the golden-orange yam meat, but she held back her pain.
"First of all, they don't want to learn. I can't teach people who don't want to learn, so I won't teach them."
Lao Lin is Lao Lin, and the syllogistic reasoning perfectly points out the key to the problem.
Lao Lin rarely took a serious attitude. He continued: "Secondly, I am a mathematics teacher. I can only teach mathematics well. I can't change their learning status in other subjects."
"Um."
"Of course, the main problem is that Dad's cram school is very expensive, and the classes are scheduled until next year." Lao Lin said.
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
She lowered her head and continued to peel the yams, the heat came out, she felt angry and funny. In fact, she had thought about Lao Lin's answer many times, and now she heard Lao Lin say it personally, and she felt a sense of relief.
The situation in their class is completely different from that of the elementary school Mathematical Olympiad summer camp. Lao Lin is not a panacea.
"So then should I go directly to Zhongming's class?" She took a bite of the potato and asked the question directly.
"That's your business, why ask me?"
"Don't you even give references?"
"Your old father doesn't even know what your young girl is struggling with, so he can't provide any reference?"
"It's very simple. Class 1 has a good learning environment, while Class 13 has a poor learning environment. In a better learning environment, talents can accept the influence of a good atmosphere, work harder, and make progress every day."
Hearing what he said, Lao Lin turned his head in shock, and looked at her from head to toe again: "So what happened to your father's influence on you, and made you work hard to watch TV dramas for three years?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
At that moment, of course she wanted to refute Lao Lin. For example, Zhong Lin Zhaoxi is a brand new and imperfect version of her, not the current version of her. But in fact, she was not changed by Lao Lin in Strawberry World, so she still decided to shut up.
Lao Lin shook his head and hiccupped.
The green bamboo behind the bench swayed lightly, people came and went in the alley, and many students carrying schoolbags rushed down the alley happily.
"What kind of advice do you need?" Lao Lin was very surprised.
"I want you to tell me, if I stay in class 13, how can I change something without being changed by the environment."
It is at this moment.
The sunset finally completely disappeared on the ridge of the roof, and the sky was at the delicate moment of light and dark. The smell of braised crucian carp in the air made people feel inexplicably warm.
Lin Zhaoxi sniffed, and suddenly heard Lao Lin speak.
"Don't be changed by the world, you change the world."
Lao Lin's voice is clear and peaceful, and his smile is gentle. At that time, Lin Zhaoxi didn't really understand what the words from her father meant.
