"Brother!" The girl outside the yard put away the umbrella, showing her neat and white teeth when she smiled.
"Hey, girl." Tan Ruikang replied with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"Come and see you." the girl said.
Yuan Yuan quietly stared at the girl, her skin was dark, but her facial features were very beautiful, which was a kind of youthful and simple breath coming to her face, a shy crimson appeared on her face, did not dare to look at Yuan Yuan, and only talked to Tan Ruikang, He uncovered the rags that covered the basket and showed him the white eggs inside. The eggs were so small that they were smaller than the eggs he had seen in the distance.
There are also some homemade cakes and sugar.
"My mother asked me to bring it to my mother-in-law." The girl whispered, "I heard that your two brothers are back."
Yuan Yuan whistled out of boredom, the girl blushed again, and Yuan Yuan said expressionlessly, "Hello."
The girl said, "You... hello."
Tan Ruikang said something, then went into the room to rummage things, and said, "Wait a minute."
The girl hummed, looking at Yuan Yuan curiously, while Yuan Yuan looked at her suspiciously, her eyes full of youthful vigour and distrustful cruelty.
Tan Ruikang took out a bunch of small ornaments and knick-knacks, gave her two big bags of special products bought in Beijing, and asked her to go back and share them with friends.
Yuan Yuan, like a hedgehog with claws and claws, said, "What is that? You still care about my puppy love, what are you doing yourself?"
Tan Ruikang said: "Hey, don't guess, that's my junior high school classmate."
Yuan Yuan said: "Obviously interested in you, when did you have adultery?"
Tan Ruikang laughed, slapped the book, looked at the distant place with interest, and said, "You didn't see it?"
distant:"?"
Tan Ruikang smiled handsomely and gently, and said, "She likes you, she likes you the first time she saw you."
Far away: "How is it possible!"
Tan Ruikang said, "Forget it if you don't believe me." Then he lowered his head and read the book.
Yuan Yuan said: "Don't try to perfunctory, just say it!"
Talking about giving Tan Ruikang a punch in the ribs from time to time, Tan Ruikang was so tormented by him that he couldn't read a book, so he could only say seriously: "She just didn't dare to look at you, she kept talking to me, which is not usually like this, she came in and glanced at you, and her face changed famous."
"Nervous disease." Yuan Yuan said sullenly.
"Don't believe it." Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "You are the most flamboyant, and everyone likes you."
When Yuan Yuan heard this, he felt a little nervous. Zhao Guogang also said that he was likable before, but the embroidered pillow was full of gunpowder.
The rain stopped that afternoon. Tan Ruikang brought paper money, incense, and a bottle of Erguotou to go to his father's grave. Yuan Yuan followed him. It was hard to walk when it rained. Tan Ruikang didn't want Yuan Yuan to go away. To follow, the two walked towards the field together.
It rained all night, the road was dripping with mud and water, the air was very fresh, the fields and the earth were all fresh green washed with water, and the creek was dripping with water, Tan Ruikang said: "I'll carry you, the road is not easy to walk. "
Yuan Yuan said: "No need."
He was jumping around on the ridge, and Tan Ruikang said, "Be careful!"
Yuan Yuan really slid down and fell into the mud, Tan Ruikang couldn't help laughing.
Yuan Yuan was saddened and followed him to the hillside to go to the grave. Seeing Tan Ruikang kneeling in front of the grave, he murmured, "Dad, I'm back, and Xiao Yuan is here too."
I stood in the distance for a while, burned some paper money, and then walked away to watch the scenery and listen to songs.
Standing behind a pine tree, he heard Tan Ruikang pouring wine for the mug at the tomb, and saying in Hunan dialect: "...you are very good to me, my uncle treats me as a son, and Xiaoyuan treats me as a real brother for me to study. , give me a meal, I don't know how to repay this kindness in the future..."
"Dad, Mom, you bless me to get into a good university, I want to get ahead, go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and live up to your expectations..."
Yuan Yuan can barely understand a little, the rain has passed, the sun has come out again, and the sunset is like an egg yolk, dyeing the world with a red glow.
When the incense burnt out, Tan Ruikang took the distant down the mountain and went home.
It’s too hot in my hometown in the countryside, and I’ve visited all the things that I need to do in a few days. When I grow up, I lose interest in the playthings I used to play as a child. Seduction, Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang each carried a straw pole and walked slowly in the woods.
"What I thought was fun before is not fun anymore." Yuan Yuan said.
Tan Ruikang was also a little emotional and said, "Yes, I have grown up."
They took a look at the nearby scenery, and went to Tan Ruikang's house to pack some things. There was nothing to stay in the countryside, so they got into the car home, and before leaving, Yuan Yuan told their grandma that they would definitely come to see her after the college entrance examination.
He wanted to go home and discuss with Zhao Guogang and take his grandmother to live at home, but Tan Ruikang insisted that she was not used to big cities, with many cars, no friends, and uncomfortable.
After returning home a few days later, Tan Ruikang was still reading, and he didn't go out every day to play in the distance. He took notes on all the books he had read on the bookshelf, some were short two or three lines, and some were full pages. , Introduce the plot of those books, insert a note into each book, and recommend it to Tan Ruikang.
"It's okay to read Jin Yong's books once." Yuan Yuan said, "These books are good-looking. The dust of Alai is settled, and the three musketeers of Alexandre Dumas. In fact, I think Jin Yong has borrowed a lot of Dumas' ideas..."
Tan Ruikang was taken aback and said, "Have you seen all these?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Well, there are some of my reading notes in it. If you don't understand it, you can refer to it and read it slowly."
Tan Ruikang was a little flattered. A few days later, Yuanyuan and Lin Zibo went to buy a computer, equipped with a desktop computer of 7,000 yuan, and moved the old computer to Tan Ruikang's room for him to use, and Yuanyuan gave him a lot of game discs, saying: " These are all very fun, I even printed the guide online, if you can’t play it, just ask me.”
Tan Ruikang's treatment suddenly improved, and he couldn't bear it, so he was busy accepting all the bills. He didn't play games during the summer vacation, but read many books according to the distant reading notes.
Yuan Yuan did not read the books, and occasionally went to the book city with Tan Ruikang. If you don't count the difference in consumption concepts and values between the two, Tan Ruikang is indeed a very good playmate.
You don't need to make a special appointment to go out with him, just call and go.
There is no need to discuss where to go, and Tan Ruikang is almost willing to go wherever he wants to go.
Regarding art, books and books have gradually started to have topics.
When I went to the bookstore, Yuan Yuan casually took a book and turned a few pages. If I was interested, I threw it into the shopping cart. Tan Ruikang could stand still in front of the bookshelf for an afternoon while holding a book.
The whole summer vacation passed slowly. Tan Ruikang read more than half of the books at Yuan Yuan's house, but the game disc never moved. Yuan Yuan knew that it was impossible for him to completely integrate into his own world, so he had to put all the discs back.
When the bookstore was once again crowded with students buying reference books, the summer vacation of the third year of junior high was finally over. Yuan Yuan felt an indescribable loss accompanied by pain in his eggs when he thought that he would enter a dire high school career in the next three years.
The first day of school was the No. 8 typhoon warning. Yuan Yuan was wailing in his bed thinking that he could skip class, but he was pulled up by Tan Ruikang, who was very tidy.
"It's okay not to go—" Yuan Yuan said.
"Lin Zibo called." Tan Ruikang said, "I must go today."
Yuan Yuan had to go out to school with Tan Ruikang in anguish. Tan Ruikang held an umbrella, and he was half wet, but he took good care of Yuan Yuan. After greeting, Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang sat in the last row.
There was a buzzing chat in the classroom, and most of the people were talking. The class leader came to call and the class went silent.
"Tan Ruikang." After the old man's sub-group leader named his name, the head teacher came over and called another person to let them speak.
Tan Ruikang's face was blank, his half-wet sleeves were rolled up on his elbows, and he laughed after a few words. Nodding again and again, he leaned against the window far away to look at him, feeling sour in his heart, not knowing what kind of limelight the fellow was going to make.
"Xiaoyuan, the teacher asked me to be the monitor, let's sit together." After a while, Tan Ruikang came over and asked with a smile, "Okay?"
Distant: "… "
monitor? What can you eat, monitor? Yuan Yuan immediately became uncomfortable and said, "I don't want to sit in the last row, I can't see it."
That's true. Yuan Yuan usually faces the computer and has a slight myopia of more than 100 degrees. Tan Ruikang realized it and said, "Then you sit with Lin Zibo?"
Yuan Yuan pushed him and said, "Whatever, do you understand democracy and justice? He abused his power when he first became a supervisor..."
Tan Ruikang smiled awkwardly, and went to transfer people's positions and record the roster. The other person was the deputy monitor and went to pick up the book.
Yuan Yuan was transferred to the middle row. The four rankings changed every Monday. After a busy class, the representative of the six classes was fixed.
After the senior high school entrance examination, the whole senior year was in a slack stage. Most of the students in the class had not had enough time during the summer vacation, so they could not get in. The mathematics of the first year of high school is very difficult. All subjects present a new stage of linking the past and the future. Yuan Yuan is basically unfocused on learning.
The new deskmate is a thin, small, funny-talking boy named Qin Yao. His interest rating is not much lower than that of Qi Huiyu. When he was in junior high school, he was studying in the second class, and he borrowed textbooks from Yuan Yuan. Chatting in full swing.
So in less than a day, Yuan Yuan was given a new nickname by the literary girls called Bao Yu, and Qin Yao was called Brother Qin.
Yuan Yuan was very angry about this, but Tan Ruikang had never seen A Dream of Red Mansions, so he didn’t know what they were talking about. Yuan Yuan was alone and had no choice but to be called by Baoyu Baoyu.
Fortunately, when Zhang Zhen came to borrow the book, he called the milk boy, and the distant old nickname was saved.
Qin Yao is very funny, his thinking is often not in the same dimension as ordinary people, not only likes to draw beards and draw Transformers arms for Guan Hanqing, Zhuge Liang, etc. in the history books, but also likes to laugh at himself and make jokes with the girls. , the popularity is very good.
Yuan Yuan also likes him very much. The two often joke in class and keep laughing. But Qin Yao is different from Qi Huiyu after all. They only chat and talk when they are in school, and they no longer contact each other after school. Unlike Qi Huiyu, there are always endless things to talk about.
There is no need for self-study in the first year of high school, and Tan Ruikang always likes to talk about distance after school.
"Don't chat with Qin Yao in class." Tan Ruikang said, "Why are there so many things to say? The teachers have opinions."
"I know, I know." Yuan Yuan replied impatiently, as promised, but the next day's class was still business as usual.
Time passed quickly, and the whole class was familiar with each other, but Yuan Yuan always felt that there was still a big difference between high school and junior high school.
The students in this class are all the top students of the original third middle school, and the top dozens of students in the grade have been promoted, but why is the atmosphere not as familiar as the previous junior high school? There are no more people in the class who rub against Yuanyuan to invite him to dinner. Everyone goes home after school at noon, and everyone reads books.
After school in the afternoon, they also rushed home each other. Although they were a whole class, they were loose and loose, and there was no special cohesion. At the same time, there are also many more people who are in love, although they are not on the surface, but they are seen when they go out in private.
Yuan Yuan has no girlfriend, and neither does Tan Ruikang. The two brothers are still the same as before. The only difference is that every day at noon, Yuan Yuan will bring a cup of milk tea to Tan Ruikang after having lunch with Qin Yao outside.
After returning home every day, Yuan Yuan would finish his homework hastily, get into his room to play computer games, and sometimes copy Tan Ruikang's homework if he didn't want to do it.
One day, the math teacher asked, "Why are there two Tan Ruikang in our class? Whose is Tan Ruikang's homework?"
Yuan Yuan suddenly remembered this. Last night, he copied the homework from a new notebook, and it was copied smoothly. After copying the inner page, he turned to the cover and copied Tan Ruikang's name.
So the whole class burst into laughter, Yuan Yuan blushed, and went up to the podium to pick up the book in front of everyone's eyes.
Tan Ruikang said: "Xiaoyuan just took my new book by mistake and wrote the blank one in the name."
This matter has only been revealed, but when he went home, Tan Ruikang said, "You didn't have the right answer yesterday? How do you copy the homework? How does this work?"
"Oh, it's so annoying!" Yuan Yuan said frantically, "If you know it, don't say it anymore!"
Tan Ruikang said: "The homework can obviously be done, but the amount is not much. You are not studying in the room?"
Yuan Yuan said, "I had a headache yesterday and didn't want to do it."
Tan Ruikang frowned and said, "You didn't tell my uncle? Where is the pain?"
Yuan Yuan was really convinced, and he said that he sent Tan Ruikang back to the room. Then, every time Yuan Yuan asked Tan Ruikang to get his homework, Tan Ruikang would come over to see if he had finished writing, whether he was right or just copy it up.
Yuan Yuan is quite rebellious. Although he has long acknowledged that Tan Ruikang's reading skills are much better than him, since Tan Ruikang went to the third year of junior high with him, Yuan Yuan has been very resistant to sharing Tan Ruikang's honor directly, including answering questions. ,study.
As long as Tan Ruikang does some exercises he doesn't understand, he will definitely ask him about it, especially in English. Yuan Yuan will patiently give him analysis and enjoy the superiority of being a teacher. But when it was the turn of the distant mathematician, he never asked Tan Ruikang. He would rather try hard to solve it for a long time. When he was a little irritable, he asked Tan Ruikang to borrow his test paper. In name, it was the correct answer, but in fact it was based on his solution. I don't know why, Yuan Yuan just couldn't come down with humility and officially ask Tan Ruikang for advice.
Tan Ruikang's behavior of supervising his homework also touched Yuan Yuan's rebellious mentality. You have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder. Yuan Yuan threw away all his homework when he really didn't want to do it, and went to school to find Qin Yao or Lin Zi the next day. Bo borrowed it and copied it, so as not to offend Tan Ruikang.
The first half of the first semester of high school passed smoothly, half of the papers for the mid-term exam were far away, and after the results came out, as expected—it was over.
Facing a 27-point math paper in the distance, it is a bit unbelievable.
Qin Yao scored 18 points in the test and became a pair of brothers and sisters with him, but he still optimistically added a "1" before the distant "27".
Qin Yao's original grades were not very good. He was a little clever in junior high school, and squeezed into the bottom of the recommended places. After high school, he didn't learn much. He still has English in the distance, so Qin Yao is about to count down to the whole class.
Far away can't laugh at all, this is simply the lowest score he has ever tested! From elementary school all the way to junior high school, falling 80 points is basically a fantasy, far away completely did not expect to encounter such a score in his life, just like a dream.
"A perfect score of 100? You got 27?!" Tan Ruikang was also a little unbelievable.
Yuan Yuan didn't know how to answer, so he motioned Tan Ruikang not to mention it, thought for a while, his mind went blank, and said, "Don't tell my dad."
Tan Ruikang stood at the station without anyone else and shouted, "Tell me first, what's going on!"
Yuan Yuan was completely guilty this time, and was really scared, but he didn't dare to refute Tan Ruikang. There is only one thought in my head, bad bad bad...
After the mid-term exam was released, far away Chinese and English were not too bad. Mathematics was the worst, followed by physics. He didn't even memorize formulas.
He was the third in the class by virtue of his accumulation in junior high school, while Tan Ruikang achieved the first place in the class by virtue of his hard work, successfully overcoming his only shortcoming.
"You count sets and imaginary numbers
Nothing? "Tan Ruikang said: "Impossible? There are only a few knowledge points…”
Yuan Yuan said: "Stop talking! I know!"
The two went home, sat down far away and turned on the computer, trying to escape reality and talk about it for a while.
Tan Ruikang reached out and pulled the plug.
"It will burn the motherboard!" Yuan Yuan roared frantically.
Tan Ruikang was unmoved at all, looking at him coldly, Yuan Yuan suddenly twitched, this was the first time Tan Ruikang was angry with himself.
"Come out, I'll tell you the paper." Tan Ruikang said, "Analyze and see what the problem is."
Yuan Yuan had to obediently take out the papers, followed Tan Ruikang to the dining table and sat down. Tan Ruikang's school uniform sleeves were rolled up, seriously looking at Yuan Yuan's appalling score, he sighed and understood.
Tan Ruikang: "You haven't been studying at all in the first half of the semester, and you have regressed. No wonder."
Yuan Yuan hummed, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Tan Ruikang brought him a carton of milk for him to drink, looked at his other papers, and said, "You take a rest first, go take a bath. "
"I went in to study." Yuan Yuan said lazily.
"No." Tan Ruikang said, "Want to go in and play again?"
It's far away, and he hates who he is now. How could he have become like this in only half a semester? Tan Ruikang analyzed the paper for a long time, listed the knowledge points, and gave him a topic again. Yuan Yuan was very moved and did not dare to violate him again.
"What will the parents do..." Yuan Yuan said, "either learn from Qin Yao and ask the aunt from the canteen outside the school to sit in the last row?"
Tan Ruikang said, "Don't be joking, what my uncle asks is covered by me. Let's do the question first."
Tan Ruikang's eyes were full of warmth, so Yuan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that even if the sky fell, someone would support him, and he could sleep at night.
