"Beep beep..."
A battery car drove by on the cement aisle of a small community, and the advertisement paper that had been weathered for many days on the electric pole standing on the roadside was mottled and mottled. The old man walking with his granddaughter on the side of the road avoided it, and the bird on the wire looked down at the battery car and drove past the aisle of the community.
"Why are you going out so late?" A woman stopped the battery car.
"Mom, I have something to do." The boy rode a battery car around the woman and walked away.
The sky was getting dark outside the window, the strong sunset had receded, and it was in the intersection of evening and night, and the stars flashed in the sky earlier.
The woman downstairs faintly climbed up the window with the nagging sound of her son's disobedience.
The flames jumped on the kitchen stove, the soup in the pot boiled, and bubbles were bubbling.
Gu Chaoming opened the cabinet and took out a soup bowl.
The chatter of the women downstairs faded away, and as soon as I heard the voice, I knew who and whose mother was.
Gu Chaoming had a fight with him when he was a child, and he never communicated after the fight. Gu Chaoming has a wild temper, and it was the same when he was a child. He fought with several people alone, but he won the fight. As a result, the parents came to the house to complain.
Gu Chaoming didn't care about the sound of getting farther downstairs, and walked to the living room with the prepared soup.
The soup bowl was hot, Gu Chaoming carefully placed the soup bowl on the coffee table and filled another bowl of rice.
The phone on the coffee table beeped a beep.
Gu Chaoming took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks basket, walked to the coffee table with his rice bowl in his hand, sat on the sofa and glanced at his phone.
It was Lin Jianfan's information.
Said to ask Lin Jianfan to help him with tutoring, Gu Chaoming took the initiative to add Lin Jianfan's contact information the next day to facilitate discussion.
"How do you think you did in the test today?" Lin Jianfan asked.
Gu Chaoming smiled at the message sent by Lin Jianfan. This was the first time Lin Jianfan took the initiative to send him a message since he added Lin Jianfan as a friend. job information.
"Okay."
Gu Chaoming said stubbornly that it was alright, but in fact, his heart was light and he had no bottom, as if he was standing on a coast and didn't know how deep the sea was.
The exam time was a little tight for Cen Xili, but for Gu Chaoming, there was a lot of time left to stare at questions that he couldn't do. Gu Chaoming finished all the questions he could do at the beginning, and then spent the rest of the time to see which questions on the test paper looked like "you can do it".
In the past, I wrote my name on a test paper, and looked at the multiple-choice questions in front of my eyes. If I came across something I could do, I would do it with a pen, and then look at the back, if I couldn't do it, forget it. Anyway, in the end, I just copied Cen Xili's paper Several answers.
In this test, Gu Chaoming wrote it completely by himself. Every word and every symbol is the output of his own brain. Use your brain power to do more than one question is one question. Some of them are scribbled, the process and the answer are not very remembered, and Gu Chaoming can't estimate the correct rate. After the test, I felt like I was riding a roller coaster. For a while, I felt that I did well in the test, and for a while I felt that what I wrote was all garbage, and I must be wrong.
Uneasy, it took only one day for Teacher Mingming to correct the paper, but Gu Chaoming, who set up a roller coaster in his heart, felt that it took a long time.
The next day before class, the teacher informed the class representative in advance to come to the office to get the papers. Seeing the class representative walking down the corridor with a stack of white papers, Gu Chaoming suddenly felt that he was not as nervous as yesterday.
No matter how nervous, the results have already settled.
Gu Chaoming successfully experienced the anticipation and nervousness of the classmates in the class that he wanted to try when the results of the monthly exam were announced last time.
I am afraid that he is the only one who is so looking forward to the test results. Gu Chaoming looked at the other students in the class, and they were all doing their own business in a bland way, not the way they expected the results during the monthly test.
After all, the monthly test is also a big test. This time it is just a small class test, but for Gu Chaoming, it is the first test of his learning results during this period.
"Be nervous, Gu Shuai." Su Bing sat at Gu Chaoming's front table instead, playing with the fountain pen on Gu Chaoming's table between his fingers.
Gu Chaoming wiped his nose unconsciously and shook his head: "I'm so nervous."
Hearing his words, Su Bing lowered his head and smirked, and said he was not nervous. He didn't know who had been staring at the class representative holding the papers in the corridor.
"Okay, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, we Gu Shuai have worked so hard these days, we must become a scholar." Su Bing said.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've only been studying for a few days, and you want to laugh at me."
Su Bing exaggeratedly said with a smile: "I don't want to laugh at you, I have always respected you warriors who dare to challenge learning."
"Xili is a fighting warrior. I'm afraid I will be a soldier who will hang a white flag in the future." Gu Chaoming sighed.
Su Bing advised Gu Chaoming: "Gu Shuai, you are called Gu Shuai, don't be so passive, you are a general."
Gu Chaoming smiled crookedly: "Isn't Gu Shuai because of my good looks? How did you change to be a general?"
Su Bing said "Huh" with disgust.
The class representative on the podium began to hand out the test papers. Seeing the test papers with red scores being handed out from the class representative's hands, Gu Chaoming's calmed down nervousness suddenly broke out again.
Gu Chaoming looked at the class representative's paperwork and said to Su Bing, "To tell you the truth, I am indeed a little nervous."
"I don't think it's a bit, you stare at the paper until your eyes are straight." Su Bing said.
When Su Bingyi said it, Gu Chaoming retracted his gaze from the test paper: "Go away, don't exaggerate here. But I don't think the people in our class are very nervous. I feel that I am the only one who is nervous."
Su Bing looked around and looked at the classmates who were not nervous that Gu Chaoming said: "They just didn't show it. They must be nervous in their hearts, but they may not be as nervous as you."
Su Bing knows that if you work hard, you will expect to gain something. Su Bing knows it, but he has just started to work hard, so the gain should not be large. Moreover, Gu Chaoming's previous test scores were copied. Now that he does it himself, it is not impossible that his score is lower than before.
"Why do I feel more and more that I didn't do well in the test." Looking at the class representative's paperwork, Gu Chaoming felt a little uneasiness approaching.
"You also said that I was nagging. You talk more than me today, so don't be a crow's mouth." Su Bing said.
As soon as Su Bing's voice fell, Gu Chaoming's words became a prophecy.
Lin Jianfan came over with Gu Chaoming's test paper.
The hand who once helped Gu Chaoming pick up the flyers carefully placed the test paper with traces of Gu Chaoming's struggles in the two classes yesterday on Gu Chaoming's desk.
"Take your time." Lin Jianfan advised Gu Chaoming.
As soon as Lin saw Fan's three words "take your time", and then looked at the expression on Gu Chaoming's face, Su Bing lowered his eyes to look at the scores on the test paper.
A wild twenty stops in the score column.
Oh roar, this is really a crow's mouth.
Seeing that the score was really lower than before, Su Bing looked at Gu Chaoming again uneasy.
I was afraid that Gu Chaoming had worked so hard during this period of time, that he would be discouraged when he saw the unsatisfactory scores, and he would become the white flag general he just said, but Gu Chaoming only looked at the results and laughed when Lin Jianfan said "take your time" : "Okay, it's not very good, the requirements can't be so high."
Lin Jianfan stared at Gu Chaoming, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly when he heard Gu Chaoming's answer.
When the class representative handed out the test paper, Lin Jianfan looked in the direction of Gu Chaoming and found that Gu Chaoming was chatting with Su Bing. Lin Jianfan quietly ran to the class representative and asked if the class representative could find out Gu Chaoming's test paper first. he.
The class representative agreed immediately and rummaged through the many test papers.
"Hey, I found it," the class representative took out Gu Chaoming's paper and another test paper. "By the way, I will also take out yours."
The two exam papers overlapped, and the class representative looked at Gu Chaoming's score: "It will be sad if you study hard and get less scores."
Lin Jianfan took his and Gu Chaoming's test papers from the class representative, and when he looked at Gu Chaoming's scores, he had the same concerns as the class representative.
The class representative added: "But looking at his cheerful personality, he won't be depressed for long."
The two-digit and three-digit papers are sandwiched together, and the comparison is a bit tragic. Lin Jianfan folded his test paper and put it on the desk, holding Gu Chaoming's paper and walking towards Gu Chaoming.
In the short distance, Lin Jianfan hesitated how to comfort Gu Chaoming.
After thinking about it all the way, I finally only said three words - take it slow.
Gu Chaoming did not have the loss and discouragement that Lin Jianfan imagined, and the words "take your time" in exchange for Gu Chaoming's smile and "can't ask too much".
After working hard for so long, there will definitely be a little expectation of his own. Gu Chaoming will definitely feel a little disappointed under his smile, Lin Jianfan thought.
It's not a smile on the face, it's okay to say it on the mouth, it means that the heart is truly happy.
Lin Jianfan stared at Gu Chaoming and teased him with a twenty-point smile, and Su Bing didn't say anything when it was time to speak.
Su Bing didn't speak and secretly paid attention to Lin Jianfan who was looking at Gu Chaoming.
Some people say that love cannot be obtained through hard work, and Gu Chaoming feels that he should add a sentence "the same is true for learning".
Seeing the score of 20, saying that he didn't care whether it was fake, there would definitely be a gap in his heart, but Gu Chaoming didn't say it.
Twenty is twenty, always expressing your loss to others won't change anything.
His own test scores are not as good as those of Cen Xili's test papers that he copied casually before. Gu Chaoming also guessed it, and he thinks it is very likely. Cen Xili was in the top ten in their class who had never dropped out. Many people fell behind in the last month's test, but Cen Xili was still rising steadily. The top ten papers he copied in the class must have a higher score than the mere fraction of what he wrote.
He already had a very strong premonition, but Gu Chaoming still held a little fluke, luckily he could get a good score in the test, but the reality told him what is skinny.
Lying in bed last night and guessing about his score, Gu Chaoming remembered the little girl his mother said could speak English in kindergarten, and he might not even be able to match her. Gu Chaoming remembered that he had copied Cen Xili's test paper at the end of the previous exam, and he suddenly wondered why he didn't copy the score higher when he went to the new home, or lied about the score when the man asked him
As soon as this idea popped up, Gu Chaoming felt panic.
Lie, are you already full of lies? Will it be the same as Gu Tao's next time, lying in a story and having an unstable temper
Gu Chaoming was afraid, afraid that he and Gu Tao were becoming more and more similar.
He was most afraid of hearing someone say "a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make a hole", as if he was saying that he could never change, and that Gu Tao's genes flowing in his body could not be changed.
The idea of lying was immediately denied by Gu Chaoming, he didn't want to be like Gu Tao.
"It can't be so demanding," he said with a smile.
You have just started to learn, and you don’t have the brain that you can learn right away. You can’t be in a hurry, you have to take it slow.
Gu Chaoming persuaded himself that he had just started, and it was normal for him to fail the exam.
What I need is not the momentum to move forward bravely, but the waiting to slow down. Waiting for the honing of time and the accumulation of knowledge, let them all become their stepping stones to success. Waiting is not easy, waiting is always anxious, boring, and tired.
Gu Chaoming didn't know how Cen Xili persevered. He went from comforting Cen Xili who failed the exam to being comforted by others when he failed the exam. Gu Chaoming thought that he had a living example of Cen Xili by his side, and he couldn't give up.
Giving up is the real defeat, loss and hesitation are just a short rest.
After eating an apple on the sofa, Gu Chaoming guided himself, figured out that he would throw the finished apple into the trash, wash his hands and continue to study in the bedroom.
With the mint candy Su Bing gave after school, the lamp illuminates a small space on the desk.
The homework notebook that Lin Jianfan helped to copy every day stood on the table, and the handwriting on the pages was neat. After Gu Chaoming completed an item, he tickled the item and handed it back to Lin Jianfan the next day.
In fact, this homework notebook is meaningless. Gu Chaoming could not finish his homework seriously when he started to study hard. Gu Chaoming thinks it is the most basic, but Lin sees that Fan is still copying for him, so he can save a little effort. .
Besides, after all the work has been done with great effort and brains, it is also very relieved to be able to vent on the family record book to vent one's fatigue.
At the end of school in the afternoon, Lin Jianfan handed him not only the usual homework notebook, but also a knowledge manual.
"I think you should be able to use this." Lin Jianfan said.
Gu Chaoming thanked him, took it and stuffed it into his schoolbag, and took it out to look at it when he was doing his homework.
The booklet is small, on which Lin Jianfan marked important knowledge points with a colored highlighter. In addition to marking important knowledge points, the booklet also has various knowledge points and difficulties supplemented by Lin Jianfan, and almost every page is marked by Lin Jianfan.
Gu Chaoming looked at it and finally found a place where Lin Jianfan made a typo and crossed it. Gu Chaoming smiled slightly. It turned out that Lin Jianfan also made a typo sometimes. Lin Jianfan's daily notes were too neat and tidy, making Gu Chaoming grab a crossed place like grabbing Lin Jianfan's little tail, and couldn't help laughing at him.
While flipping through the manual given by Lin Jianfan, the phone beeps on the bed.
Gu Chaoming took a look at the phone.
"Gu Shuai, are you not part-timer today?" Su Bing asked.
Gu Chaoming simply replied with one word: "En."
Su Bing: "Is your father at home?"
Gu Chaoming replied to Lin Jianfan at the place where Lin Jianfan made a cross: "Finally found a place where you made a mistake. I thought the first grade would never make a typo."
After replying, he thought that this knowledge manual did not need to be returned to Lin Jianfan. He couldn't see it, so he would copy it again in the family record book that he was going to give to Lin Jianfan tomorrow.
The phone kept vibrating, and Gu Chaoming picked up the phone to reply to Su Bing after he finished copying it.
"My dad is not at home." Gu Chaoming said.
Su Bing: "It's fine if you're not at home. Come out for a late night snack."
"Why do you suddenly have a late-night snack?" Gu Chaoming asked.
"Come out, Xili has come out."
Can Su Bing call Cen Xili out? This is strange. You must know that since the last time when the incident happened, Cen Xili's family would not allow Cen Xili to run around, to prevent him from messing with his friends, so as not to talk nonsense, it was simply pathological management.
Gu Chaoming asked, "Xili has come out? How did you get him out?"
"Don't say it, come down, I'm right downstairs of your house, it's pitch black, if you don't come down again, everyone will think I'm a thief, just now an old lady looked at me like that, I'm afraid she will grab me and call 110 ."
Gu Chaoming: "If you don't tell me sooner, come up and I'll open the door for you."
Su Bing: "I'm not afraid that your father is here. I won't go up. Come down quickly. I'll treat you to supper."
