The temperature has dropped unexpectedly recently. Overnight, the ground was full of fallen leaves, and the cold wind made people shiver, bringing a sharp chill.
I was puzzled at first, but when the head teacher, Mr. Cen, walked into the classroom with a stack of holiday safety notices and distributed them to the students in the class, everyone suddenly realized that it was time for the winter vacation.
The third party in high school was in a daze and fell asleep after writing the papers at home. How can they take into account what the New Year is. Suddenly hearing the news of the holiday, the tense nerves finally loosened, and joy appeared on the face.
"It's really going to be a holiday, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"I have to go back and get a good night's sleep, I'm so tired."
"It's not long before the winter vacation, continue to brush the questions, the college entrance examination will start when the school starts."
Jin Heng glanced at the safety notice and roughly estimated the date of the winter vacation, no more than twenty days, and it passed in a blink of an eye. But compared to the New Year, everyone is obviously more concerned about the approaching college entrance examination.
The overall results of Class 9 have improved a lot. In the last unified examination, the average score was even the same as that of Class 7. It must be said that a lot of people's jaws dropped.
Teacher Cen was afraid that they would be wild as soon as they were on vacation. After repeatedly telling them not to relax, he screened some materials related to further studies on the whiteboard. The above are the scores of key universities over the years.
"After the winter vacation is over, the college entrance examination will be soon, and the time is tight. You can choose a school that is more reliable according to your grades, and do more homework outside of class, so that you will not be smeared when you fill in the volunteers."
Some students have already started to take pictures with their mobile phones and save the information.
Except for Jin Heng, the number of students in Class 9 who can go to undergraduate is not very large, and Yan Na is one of them. Under the dual guidance of her tutor and Jin Heng, her grades have been completely changed compared to the past. It is reasonable to say that it is not difficult to go to the undergraduate course, but she is rarely a bit out of her mind.
After school, Jin Heng and her went to Chongming to find Wen Yan and the others. Seeing that Yan Na was silent on the way, he asked thoughtfully, "What's the matter with you?"
Yan Na is usually very happy, but today is too silent, which makes people uncomfortable.
"I..." Yan Na unconsciously clenched the shoulder strap of her schoolbag and pursed her lips for a long time before she said, "Have you decided which school to go to?"
Jin Heng's goal is clear: "A is big."
Yan Na kicked the stone next to her: "I want to apply to a local school, but my parents must let me go to Haida, saying that my uncle runs a company there and can take care of it..."
Although Haida has a relatively low batch of undergraduates, it is still a serious undergraduate school, and it is not unreasonable to rush to Yan Na's grades. So Jin Heng said: "It's good, you can try it."
Yan Na didn't speak, and it took a long time before she uttered three words with difficulty: "It's too far..."
It's really too far away, and it's hard to meet each other from a distance.
She looked at Jin Heng and envied him for his clear direction, but her eyes were full of confusion: "Xu Meng has to take care of his mother, he can only stay in the local area, he will either study a junior college or go to work in the future, I want to accompany him he… "
Jin Heng finally knew why she was troubled. This seemed to be an inevitable problem for every couple on campus after graduation. Looking at the clear blue sky, he sighed imperceptibly: "What did he think?"
Yan Na pursed her lips and her eyes were a little red: "He also asked me to study Haida."
Jin Heng said, "Then go read."
Yan Na was stunned when she heard the words, probably feeling that Jin Heng didn't understand her, bit her lower lip, turned her head away without speaking, and speeded up her walking calmly.
Jin Heng walked behind not far or near, his voice was calm, as if to persuade her: "Four years, it will soon pass."
Compared to a long life, four years is really nothing. As long as Yan Na can endure these four years and find a brighter way out, it is not a bad idea to come back to Xu Meng at that time. But she didn't dare to gamble.
Life is always full of variables. For four years in a different place, no one can guarantee that everything will remain the same now, and it will retain the original appearance. More things are different.
Before they knew it, the two had reached the gate of Chongming's school. Wen Yan happened to come out from the inside, and when he saw Jin Heng and Yan Na, he clicked his tongue rather strangely: "Why didn't you study for yourself in the evening?"
Jin Heng pulled the zipper of the clothes to the neckline to block the cold wind pouring in: "It's winter vacation, why don't you let it go?"
Wen Yan patted his head and finally reacted: "Let's go, but we are two days behind you."
Xu Meng stood aside, silently tossing the basketball in his hand, for some reason, he stopped talking to Yan Na as he did before. And the latter just looked down at the toe of the shoe, extremely quiet.
Seeing this, Wen Yan and Jin Heng looked at each other for a second in midair, and exchanged all the information.
in argument
Well, we quarreled.
Wen Yan is not very afraid of cold. When everyone else was shivering and shivering, he was still wearing short sleeves and his jacket draped over his shoulders, all as a decoration. It can only be said that young people are in good health.
As if to make things round, Wen Yan slowly put on his coat and asked aloud, "It's a little cold, why don't we go have a hot pot together?"
Jin Heng held his mouth: "It's quite cold."
"… "
There was a silent awkwardness in the air.
In the end, it was Yan Na who spoke first. She glanced at Xu Meng calmly, and then withdrew her gaze: "I have no opinion."
Xu Meng slapped the ball in his hand, smashed it to the ground, bounced it high, and finally returned to his hand: "I can do whatever."
Wen Yan was not good at being a peacemaker at first, and only others had given him the job of being a peacemaker. Upon seeing this, he walked to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and sat with them directly in front of a nearby hot pot restaurant.
The weather turned cold, and the hot pot restaurant has become the best place for young people to gather. Wen Yan and others stood outside and waited for half an hour before finally waiting for an empty table. Everyone standing outside was dumbfounded.
"Damn, this store is doing so well."
Wen Yan took a seat inside. In his memory, the business of this hot pot restaurant was obviously bleak, and the door was full of people. It was incredible.
Jin Heng sat next to him and flipped through the menu: "It's normal, it's cold, that's all."
He and Wen Yan finished ordering and handed the menu to the other side: "Tick what you want to eat."
It can be seen that Yan Na deliberately eased the atmosphere, rarely took the initiative to talk to Xu Meng and chose a few dishes, and finally brought back the temperature that had just dropped to freezing point. After a few drinks, the chatterbox gradually opened.
Wen Yan obviously knew the cause of the incident, and said to Xu Meng, "It's the first time I saw you angry with Yan Na. Actually, there's no need. I'll talk about it after her exam results. What's the use of reluctance."
Wen Yan is the leader of the gang of bad boys. He usually fights and fights, but when it comes to a critical moment, Xu Meng can't help but listen to him.
Xu Meng's appearance is rather cold, but he usually smiles, so it's not obvious. He stared at the bubbling bottom of the mandarin duck pot, lowered his eyes and said, "I checked, Haida is pretty good."
At least it was an undergraduate degree that Yan Na could easily get into.
Wen Yan lifted his eyelids and tapped the table with his fingertips: "You don't have to say it, but she has to say it."
Xu Meng raised his eyes and looked at him: "Then if Jin Heng gets the key test, but he has to stay in a crappy local school, will you let him study?"
These words seem peaceful, but there are hidden thorns. Wen Yan said bluntly: "No."
He finally abandoned the boneless sitting posture, sat up slightly and said, "Where does he go, I will follow."
But Xu Meng didn't have so many choices. He couldn't accompany Yan Na and his sick mother. He could only weigh the two.
Jin Heng was quietly cooking the meat next to him, as if he didn't hear what they were saying at all, but when Wen Yan said he would follow wherever he went, he smiled faintly.
The only person in the fog is probably Yan Na.
The red and white hot pot base material tossed out of the mist, and the sound was gurgling. Jin Heng was calm and calm, as if the problem they were struggling with was just a small hurdle in life. He took a chopstick and put the cooked meat into Wen Yan's dish.
Xu Meng didn't want to continue to entangle on this topic, and asked casually, "Are you going back to your hometown for the New Year?"
Yan Na shook her head from the side: "If you don't come back, prepare for the exam."
In order to make her feel at ease in the exam, her family did not plan to let her pass the exam, so they stayed at home to review.
Wen Yan is even simpler. He and Jin Heng have no relatives, where are they from their hometown: "If you don't go back, how did you live in the past and how do you live now? After a few days of sleep, it's over."
There's nothing romantic about this. Jin Heng glanced at him: "A traditional festival once a year, are you going to sleep over?"
Wen Yan leaned over slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sleep with you, but not with others."
After finishing speaking, the brothers patted Jin Heng on the shoulder: "Keep your eyes peeled."
Jin Heng: "..."
The meal was barely finished. After they settled the bill, they walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and the hustle and bustle behind them went away.
Wen Yan sucked in a breath of cold air: "His..."
He pretended to be forceful and took off his jacket, the sudden chill outside was undoubtedly a huge "blow" to him.
Jin Heng turned to block the wind, and when he saw that he was frozen like a dog, he forced his coat on. Then he touched his cold face with his warm palm, and asked with a vague smile, "Will you take it off next time?"
Of course not, life is important.
Wen Yan stood on the stone steps in front of the store, which made him half a head taller than Jin Heng, he grabbed Jin Heng's neck from behind and pressed his back playfully: "Damn, take off yours next time! "
Yan Na just thought they were fighting between brothers, didn't care, and rubbed her cold arms. Seeing this, Xu Meng stopped a car on the side of the road, stuffed her in, and said to Wen Yan, "Let's go first."
Wen Yan raised his chin, signaling them to be free.
Xu Meng got into the car and closed the door with his backhand. For some reason, he suddenly lowered the window halfway, and against the backdrop of the endless night, Dingding looked at Wen Yan and said, "You guys are luckier than me, there are other options..."
Some people's eighteen years have nothing, and some people's eighteen years are bleak.
The young man was left with nothing but bravery, full of burdens, and rushed forward. You can do the same thing without hesitation and walk the same path.
They have choices, but they don't have to choose.
Xu Meng was not optimistic about Wen Yan and Jin Heng at first, but now that he thinks about it, they are the most likely pair to go on. A lot of things in the world have good beginnings and sad endings. However, there are also some clearly bitter stories, but in the end they are rejuvenated.
I thought it was absurd, but it was fate.
After he finished speaking, he smiled, raised the window, and the taxi drove away.
There was a heavy weight on Jin Heng's shoulders. Seeing this, he tilted his head to look at Wen Yan. Unexpectedly, his eyes met directly. The tip of his nose briefly touched, and then quickly separated.
Jin Heng raised his eyebrows: "What did Xu Meng say just now?"
Wen Yan leaned on his shoulders from behind, moved his fingertips lightly, then leaned over to his ear, deliberately selling off his words: "He said..."
Jin Heng's ears moved: "What did you say?"
Wen Yan smiled: "Say we are lucky."
