The college entrance examination is approaching, most of the time during the Spring Festival is to make up classes, New Year's Eve, the first day of the new year, the second day of the new year, and the third day of the new year, a total of four days off.
Everyone was going crazy, and there was news of the students jumping off the building from No. 1 Middle School. The group leader was so shocked that he was busy at the first weekly meeting in the spring and told the students to self-regulate.
Paul Korchagin is an exception after all, most students are just like Alex in a Clockwork Orange, full of irritability and nowhere to resolve.
However, when spring came, the entire senior year was unexpectedly quiet, and the college entrance examination was more than three months away. As Dickens said, this is the spring of hope and the winter of disappointment. No matter how hard you work, it won't help, your grades can't be greatly improved, and your current study is just to consolidate your place in the college entrance examination.
With the same results, Tan Ruikang ranked 43rd in the whole district, and Yuyao ranked 79th in the whole district.
Both of them entered the important line that was divided last year, and they had to gamble on their luck when they entered the top ten universities - bet on their own luck, the luck of others, and the luck of filling in volunteers.
The first typhoon of this year came unexpectedly early. On the day when the results were released, the students went home, stood at the station far away for a while, and said, "I don't want to go back, brother."
Tan Ruikang: "?"
Yuan Yuan stood in a daze in front of the station.
Tan Ruikang said, "Where do you want to go?"
Yuan Yuan said, "Let's take that car."
They got on the bus bound for the seaside and sat side by side on the dam. The gust of wind swept the furious sea, and the sky and the earth were pitch black. The nearly five-meter-high wall of waves was earth-shattering, and the whole world roared in the darkness.
Zhao Guogang drove to pick them up, and Tan Ruikang said, "Go back, Xiaoyuan, you can watch it anytime you want to see the sea."
He didn't know what Yuan Yuan was thinking, and in fact Yuan Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. He just wanted to declare a few words. The cartoons he watched as a child appeared in his mind. At the end of the world, a group of robots were on the galloping sea. decisive battle. He seems to have become a member of light and thunder, saying goodbye to the past and throwing himself into a confused and chaotic future.
When they got home, Zhao Guogang took a serious look at the volunteer form. Three days later, they had their evening self-study. Zhao Guogang said, "Come here and ask what you think."
Yuan Yuan said, "What should I learn?"
Zhao Guogang said: "The key lies in what you want to learn. What do you want to do in the future. The value of a subject you are interested in is far greater than how much money you can earn in the future."
Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang sat at the table and couldn't say why.
Yuan Yuan said, "Actually, I want to... er, study anthropology or something."
Zhao Guogang's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Why didn't you choose historical geography?!"
Yuan Yuan said: "I... just kidding, just kidding!"
Tan Ruikang said: "I don't know what I want to read. Uncle help me decide. Uncle is right."
Zhao Guogang also had a headache and said, "I really don't want to study it? Let's discuss it for another night. For Rui Kang, the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University is a bit difficult, and meteorology can still give a try. As for Xiaoyuan, what about Peking University... or Beijing Institute of Technology? This is also a 211 class."
Yuan Yuan was a little numb and said, "I won't go to Beijing anymore, so I will study in Guangzhou."
Zhao Guogang said: "After filling out the first choice, you still have to obey the assignment."
Tan Ruikang said, "What if you don't go to Beijing?"
Zhao Guogang smiled and said: "If you don't go to Beijing, you will have more choices. You can go to the best university in the province, and CUHK is also a famous university. The popular majors are not difficult, and Xiaoyuan Science and Technology can choose information engineering, business. You can study business administration, and then read an MBA. As for Ruikang, computer, automation, and industrial design are all popular in the future. So, the first choice should be reported to Tsinghua and Peking University, and the second choice is based on personal interests and hobbies. CUHK and South China University of Technology, how about I help you decide?"
"Or go to Sichuan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Hunan University, Wuhan University." Zhao Guogang said: "These are all good schools."
These places are all divided into one concept in the distant impression: "North".
Cantonese thought pattern: all places north of Shaoguan are called "north". Hearing classmates from Shanghai or Hubei in the distance, they would say, "Are you cold in the north? Does it often snow?"
People who are asked this are always helpless.
"I'm not going to the north, so I'll stay in Guangdong." Yuan Yuan said boringly, only feeling bored, he went into the room and lay in a daze staring at the ceiling.
Zhao Guogang was still researching the volunteer card, but Tan Ruikang was looking forward to it. Chao Yuanyuan said, "Xiaoyuan, what is automation, do you know?"
Yuan Yuan didn’t know, but after thinking about it, a process like an assembly line appeared in his mind and said, “It should be an engineer. I don’t want to study business, my dad wants me to do business. Dad! What do you want me to learn?"
Zhao Guogang laughed outside.
Yuan Yuan once thought about it when he was a freshman in high school, and wondered if there would be a bloody plot like a Korean drama when filling out the application form. For example, Zhao Guogang wanted to let him inherit the family business and take over the company, but Yuan Yuan angrily quarreled with him and said: "I'm going to pursue my own future and life!" So the father and son broke up and so on.
However, when things came to an end, he didn't know what he was going to read when facing the volunteer table, and he had no special pursuit in his life. In the end, he had to pack it all up and leave it to Zhao Guogang to decide.
"How about civil engineering?" Zhao Guogang asked outside, "Ruikang, do you want to do construction?"
Tan Ruikang responded with a smile and said, "I can do it."
"It's earth and wood." Yuan Yuan mocked him and said, "Civil engineering."
Tan Ruikang and Yuan Yuan lay side by side on the bed, waiting for Zhao Guogang to decide their life path.
The final result came out. Zhao Guogang consulted the opinions of his friends from the former Education Bureau, and arranged the two people's volunteers to the best, and reported the environmental engineering, communication engineering, electrical engineering, and software engineering of CUHK to ensure the bottom line.
Tan Ruikang applied to South China University of Technology, covering computer, civil engineering, automation, industrial design, and food science.
"This is the safest form of volunteering." Zhao Guogang said, "No matter how you take the test, as long as you pass one pass, you won't fail the test, and you don't have to go in and accept assignments. You will definitely find a job after you come out."
Tan Ruikang said, "I... I'm going to study in the same room as Xiaoyuan."
Yuan Yuan said, "I can do laundry by myself!"
Zhao Guogang said: "It doesn't matter, although you two are not in the same university, but in two years, you will be able to study in a university town together. You are very close. You can't be allowed to apply for the same major in the same college, even if the major is the same. , is it still arranged for you to live in the same dormitory? This is a waste of talents."
"Also, Xiaoyuan has to leave your protection properly and learn to adapt to the collective life independently. Ruikang's major is good, while Xiaoyuan's major is better at Zhongda, and they can complement each other after they come out."
"As for Xiaoyuan's major, I have avoided the Zhuhai campus. If there is a situation of moving to the college later, I will buy a car for Ruikang, just in time to go to Zhuhai and Macau on Saturday and Sunday."
Yuan Yuan didn't understand the mystery and the blueprint that Zhao Guogang set for them at all, just nodded. Zhao Guogang said: "That's it, the first choice, you go to fill it out."
Yuan Yuan filled out the business English of Peking University, and Tan Ruikang filled out the automation of Tsinghua University. The two went to hand in the volunteer form, and they settled down. After Zhao Guogang got the volunteer form, Yuan Yuan suddenly felt much more relaxed and felt less pressure.
In the last month before the college entrance examination, all the workbooks were thrown away, and all knowledge points returned to books. The textbooks were first thinned and then thickened. Finally, all the test points, difficulties, and outlines were summarized in simple textbooks.
After getting their high school diplomas, all those who were going to go abroad left. The classroom was a little empty, and some of them went home to review, and most of them also left. Every day, the teacher comes to the classroom and sits in the classroom, and everyone is free to review them.
Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang were also preparing to go home. Yuan Yuan thought that there would be some kind of farewell ceremony when they graduated from high school, just like when they were in their third year of junior high, but nothing happened, and no one came when the graduation photo was taken.
The two returned home, stayed at home to study, and prepared for the college entrance examination. The sun was scorching hot in July, and a few days later, they wore wireless earphones for hearing, dangling around the campus trying to receive signals and watch the exam room.
Everything passed smoothly, and in the distant days, I only remembered that the title of the Chinese composition was "Spiritual Choice", the physics was very simple, and the mathematics was a little difficult.
After the comprehensive examination of the last subject, all the candidates went crazy.
"what-"
"Ah-"
They roared wildly, threw the table to and fro, and yelled at people who died in the distance. All of them were running towards the high school building.
"Xiaoyuan!" Tan Ruikang shouted with a smile.
The two walked all the way through the third floor of the high school. The sky and the ground were full of papers and reference books flying around, throwing them everywhere, and the table slammed loudly.
"Don't throw the tables and chairs down!"
"Be careful!" Tan Ruikang was terrified, and flew away, throwing Yuanya away, and a huge plastic box full of books was thrown down on the third floor.
Yuan Yuan was also frightened, and the two stayed for a while, then burst out laughing.
"goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Yuan Yuan shouted with tears in his eyes.
He hugged each other one by one with his high school classmates, whether they knew each other or didn't know each other, returned to the classroom, dragged all the teaching aids from the desk, and fell down from the third floor.
Paper planes were flying around in the sky, and the class leader shouted down in the corridor on the fifth floor: "Don't set fire! Never set fire! Make it clear! I'll just stand here and watch! Whoever dares to set fire! Don't even think about getting his admission letter!!"
The students jumped up and down like a group of mentally ill people. The floor was covered with books, and Tan Ruikang was wearing it, looking for some good books downstairs.
"Yo he-" Yuan Yuan happily rushed down from the upstairs, throwing Tan Ruikang to the ground, rubbing his head against his chest hard, this action caused others to follow suit, a group of boys rushed over, crowded with people, all Stacked together, making a loud noise downstairs like a madman.
Tan Ruikang was crowded into a mess, laughing loudly, and finally dragged Yuanya out of the crowd, and the two sorted their clothes.
"Let's go." Yuan Yuan said.
They walked out of the school, not knowing who started yelling first: "No. 3 Middle School - Goodbye!"
Immediately, it was passed on from ten to ten, and the voices came and went like an ocean. Everyone yelled wildly: "Alma mater! Goodbye!"
Pu Shu's "Birch Forest" was played on the campus radio, Yuan Yuan bought two cups of milk tea at the door of the milk tea shop, and the two lay quietly on a grass, looking at the blue sky in the afternoon.
The phone rang, Tan Ruikang answered the phone, Lin Zibo was asking for the answer, Tan Ruikang said seriously: "I'm all wrong! I didn't do the last three big questions! The multiple-choice questions are all wrong!"
A mouthful of milk tea spurted out from Yuanpu, and then he laughed, Tan Ruikang said again, "So is the milk boy! His composition is off topic! He didn't finish his English reading!"
Yuan Yuan slammed his schoolbag on him, laughed and shouted, "Don't be a crow!"
Tan Ruikang shook his head like a monkey, and kept teasing Lin Zibo. The two talked for a while before packing up his schoolbag and going home.
The happiest summer vacation in a person's life has finally come, and there are still 20 days before the list is released. Yuan Yuan sighed at the teaching aid materials in the room, and suddenly didn't know what to do.
Zhao Guogang went on a business trip. The first day after coming back was July 10. He took Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang to have a meal. After a few days, Zhao Guogang said after taking a bath in Yuan Yuan, "Son, Dad wants to talk to you about something. talk."
Yuan Yuan sat down at the table and said, "Dad, shall we go on a trip together this year?"
Zhao Guogang smiled and said, "Don't you like to hang out with your father? You don't like drinking or socializing."
Yuan Yuan said, "I don't like to hang out with your friends, I don't understand what you say, and I like to drink and wash my feet. Let's go with Tan Ruikang, three people."
Zhao Guogang looked at Yuanyuan for a while, as if looking at his mother through him, Yuanyuan said, "Dad."
Yuan Yuan could understand his gaze. Every time Zhao Guogang looked at him like this when he was a child, he knew that his father thought of his dead mother.
"When the list is released, you will go to the cemetery to see your mother." Zhao Guogang said: "Tomorrow, Dad will rest. I will introduce a good friend of Dad to you. Let's take you to Happy Valley together."
Yuan Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, after the list is released, Tan Ruikang will also go back to his hometown to go to the grave."
Zhao Guogang said: "Well, let's get down to business, let's talk about business, the first thing, Xiaoyuan, what are your plans for your college life?"
Yuan Yuan was a little confused and said, "What are your plans? Just go to school, graduate, and work."
Zhao Guogang said: "Dad is saying, you are going to go home several times a year, and you can have a girlfriend after college. Dad supports you to find a good girl, but don't be carried away by love. Believe in going home when the time comes. The number of times will be less, and this time is up to you... After I finished college, I married your mother... "
Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and before he even glanced at the eight characters, Zhao Guogang was thinking about it for him.
"Dad." The corners of Yuan Yuan's mouth twitched.
Zhao Guogang: "Although the state advocates late marriage and late childbearing, my father thinks it is necessary to get married early. There are many problems in the career, and the husband and wife need to face it together and support each other in order to have strength..."
"Dad, Dad!" Yuan Yuan intercepted Zhao Guogang's words and said, "I think it's too far, you don't care about this, I plan to go home every Saturday and Sunday from college, anyway, it only takes the express train to get here from Guangzhou. An hour and fifty minutes."
"I told Tan Ruikang that we will fall in love together in the future, and we will all live together. When I have money, I will buy a big house in the Silver Lake Villa area, and the family will live with you."
Zhao Guogang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Do you want to live with your father in the future?"
Yuan Yuan said madly: "Isn't this nonsense?! Otherwise, who will take care of you?"
Zhao Guogang let out a long breath, nodded, and said, "Second thing, I have a few things for you to sign today. These are things your mother left for you."
Zhao Guogang took out a few documents, and Yuan Yuan asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"The ownership of the company." Zhao Guogang said: "Although our company is a small business, it may not be able to develop to the level of going public in my father's lifetime, but it was started with your mother, and half of it was originally It belongs to you, and the other half will be given to you when you are on your own and have the ability to manage the company. But now my father will help you manage it. As for when you will take over, the timing is up to me. "
"Anyway, everything Dad owns is yours. In this way, you don't have to worry about things in the future, and you can go to college seriously. I believe you won't drive Dad out of the house."
Yuan Yuan turned around and said, "I don't understand this, so don't give it to me."
Zhao Guogang said: "You can take over this company in the future and grow it.
Zhao Guogang had a headache when he saw it in the distance. Zhao Guogang smiled and said: "You only need to sign your name, and sign a power of attorney here, and I will leave the rest to a lawyer. There is also the ownership certificate of this house, and my father will contact the intermediary tomorrow. Go for a transfer, and the house will be yours from now on."
Yuan Yuan couldn't imagine the situation where he took over Zhao Guogang's company, how could it be possible! Don't you make a mess if you give it to yourself? !
He pushed back all the documents and said, "I don't know how to start a company, so I'll take care of it all for you. You are my dad. Does this property have anything to do with whose property? The house is also."
Zhao Guogang tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, stared at the document, and remained silent.
A long silence.
Yuan Yuan realized one thing in an instant. At this moment, he and Zhao Guogang seemed to have a strange feeling. Zhao Guogang also knew that Yuan Yuan had guessed it. He raised his head, looked into Yuan Yuan's eyes, and said, "Baby, Dad is getting married next month. ."
