In Rongcheng in June, the highest daytime temperature has reached 29°, which has little impact on the office workers who do not leave the air-conditioned house, but in Rongcheng, and even in the whole country, there are such a wave of families with half-old children , terrified, restless.
The Lin family, which is a cultivating family, is no exception. On June 11, Lin Luodong, the only middle school student in the family, took part in the provincial unified entrance examination for junior high schools in Shu Province—actually, the high school entrance examination.
Not only that, but the Lin family also had to take care of Huang Weijian who also took the college entrance examination. In Lin's mother's words, Huang Weijian had no relatives and no reason.
The kitchen was filled with a delicate fragrance. Mama Lin boiled the chicken soup for a long time, put ginkgo fruit and bitter gourd in it, skimmed off the slick oil, it was not greasy, and used bitter gourd to suppress the anger. Lin Ma raised the firewood chicken herself, Lin Luoran harvested the ginkgo from two ginkgo trees in the space, and the bitter gourd was no exception, produced in a purely natural space.
"They're going to finish their exams in the morning, so hurry up and take them." Mama Lin babbled, putting the thermos cup containing chicken soup in Lin Luoran's hands. Of course, she, the daughter, should do this kind of errands.
Lin Luoran took the order, and met Dad Lin when he turned the corner with the chicken soup, "Dad, are you still looking at that skeleton ship?"
Father Lin smiled and said, "Yuan was also watching. We were in a rush and the boat was not beautiful. Yuan Ye and I both agreed to tear it down and redo it."
Mother Lin didn't know about the thrilling fight between Dad Lin and Yuan Ye's battle with sea beasts, and it's understandable that they valued the skeleton ship as a trophy. The skeleton with a faint aura is a good refining material at first glance, but it is a pity that Lin Luoran's refining ability is too rookie, otherwise he can forge the skeleton boat into a "spiritual boat".
The examination rooms of the two children are divided into the school, so there is no need for stage fright. This is a good advantage for large-scale examinations, and it also saves Lin Luoran from sending chicken soup separately. Thinking about coming to the gate of the school, there are many worried parents like Lin Ma, and there is no place to park when driving. Lin Luoran left the folk street and took a taxi.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the gate of the school, there was a sea of people, and the scorching sun was burning. Coupled with the worry about the performance of the children in the examination room, it was a double torture. Even with umbrellas, Lin Luoran saw many mothers and grandmothers, sweating profusely Down.
Poor parents in the world, right? In the past, whenever she took an exam, Lin's father and Lin's mother were probably worried in the same way.
Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian were waiting for her under the shade of the tree, Lin Luoran smiled, "Look at the two of you, did you do well in the exam?"
Not only is it good, the first subject of the test is Chinese, Huang Weijian is regarded as a Confucianist, and he doesn't even know the basic knowledge of Chinese, so it would be shameful. Lin Luodong also has the foundation that Rong Donglin has worked hard for two years. It can be said that Chinese is the two of them's best subjects.
Pulling the two of them down to the restaurant and sitting down, Lin Luoran let them drink Mama Lin's loving chicken soup first. Lin Luodong saw that it was not greasy, so he also served a bowl for Huang Weijian. The aroma of the food caused other parents and examinees to look around frequently, but they brought it themselves, so they can't be forced to buy or sell.
Lin Luodong drank a bowl, ate a few pieces of chicken, and sighed in satisfaction: "Mom is really good at cooking, by the way, sister, guess what is the composition topic for this year's senior high school entrance examination?"
Composition for the senior high school entrance examination? Lin Luoran herself hadn't studied for many years. At that time, they took the senior high school entrance examination, and their composition was "the most memorable thing". In recent years, the exam questions have become more tricky. How could she guess it.
Huang Weijian wiped his mouth slowly: "Let's write about how we think about the legendary immortals—comprehension practitioners."
Ahem, Lin Luoran almost spit out a sip of tea, no wonder both of them are full of confidence, and the composition that takes up some important points is actually about cultivators... Since she proposed to integrate cultivation into technology, it seems Huaxia executives have already made a formal response.
Starting with the essay questions for the high school entrance examination, have you started to play the leading role of the state apparatus in public opinion
Lin Luoran stared at the two of them: "What did you two write?"
Lin Luodong put food in his mouth: "Sister, don't you often say that practice has no borders, but practitioners have borders? That's what I wrote."
Needless to say, from the point of entry, Lin Luodong can get a high score.
Seeing Lin Luoran looking at him, Huang Weijian took the initiative to confess: "I wrote that the cultivator may be by our side."
Lin Luoran wanted to cough again, these two half-grown kids were clearly walking a tightrope between being exposed and not being exposed.
Excellent grades are good for cultivating a person's self-confidence. Whether it is cultivation or studying like ordinary children, Lin Luoran will not pour cold water on them when they are trying to make progress. After thinking about it, her right hand is pinched, a wood system that can only be used in the foundation building period" Concentration Technique" fell on the two of them.
It was easy to get drowsy at noon, and both of them felt their spirits shake.
It wasn't until they took the math test in the afternoon that they realized the meaning of the shock. Their minds were calm, their thinking was clear, and their thinking became broadened. The last question of the mathematics paper for the senior high school entrance examination has been particularly difficult over the years. It is said that this is a watershed for testing eugenics. It does not require you to be better at mathematics, but to be particularly good at it.
According to the usual results of Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian, it is not impossible to do this problem without nowhere to start, but they have never been so sure as today. The argumentation is clear, reducing many detours that the argument will take. After listing more than a dozen equations, this is done.
Look at the time, there are still 40 minutes to hand in the paper, why is the state so good today? Lin Luodong can just use the extra time to check the test papers.
Huang Weijian's situation is similar to Lin Luodong's. He felt Lin Luoran's aura fluctuations when he performed the spell, and knew that it was Lin's sister who was secretly helping. When he put down his pen to check the test paper, Huang Weijian raised the corner of his mouth without knowing it.
The young man's indifferent heart was slowly being melted by the Lin family. When he thought of the grandfather who had never returned, the obstacle in his heart that was abandoned by others had slowly healed in the warm atmosphere of the Lin family.
Well, I have to do well in the high school entrance examination, Lin Luodong is so weak, it's too unsafe to let him go to the fourth high school alone. Huang Weijian read silently and carefully checked the test paper.
Lin Luodong from the other building sneezed and turned around suspiciously. The invigilator thought he was trying to cheat and stared at him. Lin Luodong touched his nose, knowing that he had been misunderstood, so he quickly lowered his head to check carefully.
Time is stretched, a phoenix flower blooms brilliantly outside the window, and June is like fire. This is the high school entrance examination that many people in China will experience. The classmates who have been with each other for three years will go to a better high school with good grades, and there are also those who can only stay in the high school in the school, and some are not willing to study anymore.
This is just the first choice for teenagers and girls. It may be sad, but it is more about growing up.
...
"... Hello, the total score of the candidate you inquired is 678." The mechanical voice announced the corresponding candidate number, and the Lin family members cheered.
"With this grade, there is no problem at all in No. 4 Middle School, and I still need a scholarship." Fatty Cui patted Huang Weijian on the shoulder, "It's not shameful, it's not bad." This is Huang Weijian's grade, and the Lin family made a fuss. It almost made Huang Weijian's face turn red, so he let him go and started to investigate Lin Luodong.
"Candidate Lin Luodong, admission ticket number *****, 148 points in Chinese, 150 points in mathematics, 149 points in English... the total score is 685 points."
The Lin family who were standing by the phone were stunned for a moment. They always knew that these two children had good grades. The total score in sports was only 700, and Lin Luodong only deducted 15 points.
Fatty Cui rubbed his hands, "Could it be that the Lin family is going to produce a champion in the high school entrance examination?"
Lin Ma recalled watching Rongcheng TV 2 at noon, and shook her head: "It's not the champion, the champion is 3 points more than Luo Dong."
Even if you are not the number one scholar, you are good enough. Fatty Cui said something wrong and was about to comfort Lin Luodong, but he laughed: "It is better if you are not the number one scholar. When the number one scholar academy will tie you up for an interview, what is wrong with our family? Said it was too unstable."
A boy under the age of sixteen also knew how to keep a low profile, which made the Lin family laugh.
"Brother Donglin, you have contributed the most to my test scores, thank you!"
Rong Donglin is no longer a tutor. He works in Lin's Pharmaceutical Company and is in charge of researching some ancient prescriptions left behind. He also studies with Professor Qi in graduate school. He lives a fulfilling and busy life every day. Hearing what Lin Luodong said, he waved his hands again and again: " You are willing to learn."
Even when he was studying back then, he was not as serious as Lin Luodong. Teenagers were the most exciting age. Lin Luodong could calm down and study those classical Chinese comparison tables, and study textbooks with the same attitude, so that he can have today's grades and His own efforts are inseparable.
"Let's have a big meal tonight!" Li Xi'er took out two red envelopes that she had prepared earlier, and handed them to Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian.
Lin Luodong opened it and saw that it was a bank card, and Huang Weijian's was the same.
Li Xi'er cleared her throat: "Each card contains 88888, a congratulatory gift for you."
There is also a congratulations for the exam? Lin Luodong blinked his eyes to express his incomprehension, even if there was a red envelope, wouldn't the money be too much? He couldn't help looking at Lin Luoran, seeing his sister nodding, he knew he could accept the money.
Lin's mother wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin's father. Lin Luoran explained with a smile: "They are both fifteen years old, and Huang Weijian is fine. We can't raise Luo Dong so badly, let's talk about it first, you Li The red envelope given by my sister, we don’t care about your tuition and living expenses for the three years of high school... If you don’t have enough money, you can only earn it yourself!”
Can the scholarship cover tuition fees? Huang Weijian has already taken care of the money by himself, so there is no pressure, and the money he sells wild ginseng is still moving.
Lin Luodong winked at him: Good brother, do you know how to do business
Huang Weijian turned a blind eye, his eyes couldn't express as clearly as his words, he could only pick up trash...
Fatty Cui gave the two of them some emerald buttons as gifts. Mama Lin caught up with the trend recently and knew that emeralds are very expensive, so she kept saying Amitabha.
Li Xi'er said carelessly: "What's the matter? In ancient times, there were clothes corner silver. These buttons were sewn into the cuffs, and they could be exchanged for money at critical times, haha."
Fatty Cui had a cold sweat on his face, "These are not very expensive items, but the carvings look good, so give them as a souvenir."
Mama Lin stopped nagging, Rong Donglin sent two pens, Yuan Ye and Zeng Tian were mysterious, saying they were going to prepare presents, and they haven't come back yet.
Everyone looked at Lin Luoran, her gift hadn't moved yet.
Lin Luoran folded her hands behind her back: "It's a wonderful summer vacation, we will start after you fill out your application!"
