"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Accompanied by a harsh female voice, Lin Miaomiao took Deng Xiaoqi's hand and squeezed into the crowd.
"Oh, rat, stay out of my way."
She pushed Jiang Tianhao aside, who was blocking her view, and her eyes fell on the report card that covered half of the blackboard.
"Lin Miaomiao, Lin Miaomiao..."
She read her name and looked down, but Deng Xiaoqi completely ignored her own results. When she saw the "1" in front of the name "Qian Sanyi", she immediately cheered and clapped her hands: "Qian Sanyi is first again."
At the same time, Lin Miaomiao also found the position of her name - the penultimate place on the transcript, 35th.
No, there are 36 people in the class.
She looked down again, hey... Lin Yue, why is he also 35? Of course, only the total score is the same, and the scores in other subjects are different.
Does this mean that she is not second to last, but tied for first with Lin Yue?
"Ha, Lin Yue is also first, but he is last."
Deng Xiaoqi also saw Lin Yue's name, or the second target she was looking for was him, because Qian Sanyi was her favorite person, and Lin Yue was the person she hated the most.
But the joy on her face only lasted for three seconds, and she couldn't laugh anymore because she saw Lin Miaomiao's name. Although it was above Lin Yue, the ranking was exactly the same, 35.
"Miaomiao, you..." She wanted to say, "Don't be sad, there is Lin Yue to accompany you," but she always felt that her words sounded more like ridicule and less like comfort.
Jiang Tianhao patted Lin Miaomiao on the shoulder, looking like a buddy who understands you.
At this moment, Cao Tingting's voice came from behind.
"Study together and make progress together. We usually have a good tone and don't care about this or that. The one who said that others are test-taking machines, didn't he still come in last place in the test this time?"
Everyone turned around and found Lin Yue walking into the classroom from the outside with his schoolbag on his back.
There was no doubt that this was addressed to him.
"Some people regard grades as an honor, some people take grades as a way to show off, some people find their own shortcomings on the test paper, some people take it as a ticket to change their lives, and some people take grades as the biggest malicious thing that society has against children. You are which one?"
He didn't seem to care at all how many points he got in the exam, and walked by with his head held high while carrying his schoolbag.
"As the last one on the high school entrance examination admission list, Cao Tingting, do you think my grades have improved or regressed?"
If the previous sentence is difficult to understand, then the next sentence...everyone understands it.
Deng Xiaoqi's face was ugly because she found out that she was another Cao Tingting. Yes, Lin Yue was last in class, but there were 13 classes in the whole grade, so his score was more than 20 from the bottom in grade. From this point of view You see, he has really improved, quite a bit.
Lin Miaomiao had no intention of hearing what they said, and walked back to her seat swaying like a ghost.
Ranked last in the class, when did she become equal to Lin Yue? This watch that can't be beaten with eight poles...is it a brother or a sister?
ah……
Wang Shengnan will kill me.
She slapped the table with a look of reluctance.
Forget about the monthly exams, you can still hide it. Now is the midterm exam, and after the midterm exam is the parent-teacher conference. How can you hide this? Dead.
Seeing that she had lost her soul, Jiang Tianhao took out a small bag of Hershey's chocolates from the drawer and handed it to her.
"Here, have something sweet to relieve your worries."
Lin Miaomiao glanced twice but didn't answer.
The classmates around her looked surprised. As a complete foodie, she did not deny the adjective "reincarnation of a starving ghost", but as a result, she refused to eat the chocolate in front of her. It can only be said that... she was really anxious.
Qian San, who was sitting in the back row, tugged the reference book back, not knowing whether he wanted to comfort her or stimulate her: "Lin Miaomiao, you should be lucky that you can stand with someone with an international perspective. On the same starting line.”
On the surface, it seemed that he was talking to Lin Miaomiao, but the tone behind his words... was always a little provocative.
Didn’t Lin Yue open his mouth and shut up about lofty words such as vision, pattern, thought, society, globalization, and geopolitics? As a result, when it comes to the midterm exam, you only get so few points? It can only be said that his stomach is full of talk and flashy things.
Lin Miaomiao puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "Can I compare with him? Ah, let me ask you, can we compare? He is an art student, an art student, do you know what an art student is? I am the one who took the test With a score of 300, you can only go to a junior college, but with a score of 300, you can go to a bachelor's degree."
Qian Sanyi said: "Of course I know what an art student and an artist are. People can become famous only after they die. Look at those scientists who won the Nobel Prize. Which one did not become famous while alive? If you like liberal arts, you can also become a writer. Ah, so don’t belittle yourself, it’s better to be successful in life than to hope for glory after death.”
Lin Yue, who was sitting across the row, laughed dumbly. He didn't do anything or say anything, just like stabbing the chrysanthemum of the top scorer in the high school entrance examination.
After all, he is still a young man, his face is paralyzed, and he still has the emotion of wanting to take revenge on himself.
That's right. He has been number one since childhood and is almost unrivaled among his peers. However, in terms of knowledge, he was rubbed down by being ranked last in the school. He must not be happy in his heart.
"This is the disadvantage of reading books to death. The content of books in the library is lagging behind. Sometimes, spending more time on the Internet is not necessarily a bad thing. Some books written thirty years ago could be called The crystallization of wisdom, thirty years from now, may just be used as garbage to fill the fire." Lin Yue paused for a moment, and then said: "You said that the scientists who won the Nobel Prize all became famous while they were still alive. It should be because of According to the regulations of the Nobel Foundation in 1974, the Nobel Prize cannot be awarded to deceased people in principle. However, just three years ago, a doctor named Ralph Steinman won the Nobel Prize for his research on immune response. Nobel Prize in Medicine, three days before Dr. Ralph Steinman died of cancer."
Lin Miaomiao became less depressed and more surprised. There was still a bit of excitement on her face that was eager to try. To be honest, for some reason, he really liked watching Lin Yue teach Qian Sanyi a lesson. If he had to find some reason, She felt that Lin Yue, who had the lowest grade in the high school entrance examination, best represented a poor student like her. Another reason was that he was her cousin, even though the relationship was very... very convoluted.
At this time Deng Xiaoqi came over and looked at him angrily.
"Huh, here you go again to show off your useless theory."
"For the old farmers who grow vegetables, it doesn't matter how wide the sea is, how vast the land is, where the United States is, how many years the sun can live. But for the rich people who earn tens of millions a day, how do they find a place to build a house in the city? It doesn’t matter how many mineral water bottles can be exchanged for one steamed bun. For you, knowledge other than textbooks is not too important... So there are no useless theories in this world, only people who can’t use them, and your man God, he always wants to be an omniscient and omnipotent person, which is very funny.”
"That's better than you." Deng Xiaoqi pointed at him with her hand. It took a long time to think of a word to describe him: "You... you are a high-minded guy but a low-handed person."
cough……
At this moment, a cough interrupted their conversation and woke up the students who were looking at the blackboard at the back of the classroom. They turned around and saw that the class teacher, Zhao Rongbao, was here. They all sat back in their seats, closed their mouths and waited for the lecture.
It's not class time yet, Zhao Rongbaolai must have something to say.
"As you all know, this weekend, the school will hold a parent-teacher meeting. I hope you can communicate with your parents after school and arrange a time for the parent-teacher meeting. If your parents are really unavailable, please say hello to me in advance."
After the instructions were finished, the class bell rang outside.
Zhao Rongbao didn't want to waste the history teacher's time. "Okay, get ready for class." After that, he left the classroom.
Lin Miaomiao's mood, which was just a little better, turned gloomy again. Other poor students could still use their crooked brains to lie about military information and so on. But she had an uncle who taught history in the second year of high school. Wang Shengnan couldn't hide any troubles in the school from Wang Shengnan. Therefore, there is no way to avoid this execution ground.
…
weekend.
According to the arrangement of the elite middle school, it was time for a parent-teacher meeting.
Tang Yuanming put on his suit jacket, and after hesitating for a while, he did not wear the blue and white striped tie. He always felt that dressing up like this was a bit pretentious, and it would be better to wear only a white shirt underneath.
He looked at the buttons on the front of his clothes again and said, "That's it." He put the car keys on the shoe cabinet into his pocket, stepped on the pair of creased black leather shoes, and felt that the image was acceptable, so he was about to push them away. Go to school through the door.
He is not the head teacher, but a history teacher in the second grade of high school. His daughter Tang Jiaojiao has not yet entered elementary school. She went to school today. If she didn't say anything, she would naturally go to the parent-teacher meeting on Lin Qiang's behalf.
This is what Zhao Rongbao means. Although it has been more than a month since the "Lonely Warrior" video became popular and the popularity on the Internet has faded a lot, many parents will come today. As a famous thorn in the school, Lin Yue will definitely be discussed by everyone. Lin Qiang The couple is out of the country and cannot attend the parent-teacher meeting. If he doesn't go, the news might be leaked online. This is something the principal doesn't want to see, so whether it's for the good of the school or for Lin Yue, he should act as a representative Uncles all have the responsibility and obligation to hold parent-teacher conferences for cousins and nephews.
Click.
After pushing open the door, he patted his trouser pocket again to make sure he had the key, then closed the door and prepared to go downstairs.
Just then, the phone rang.
When I picked it up and looked at it, I found that it was Wang Dingnan calling.
"Hey, top man."
"..."
"What? Jiaojiao was hit by a car? Which hospital is she in?"
When he heard that his child had been hit by a car while crossing the road, Tang Yuanming was anxious. He didn't bother to go to school to hold a parent-teacher meeting for his cousin, so he hurried downstairs and drove to the address provided by Wang Dingnan.
Things have priorities, and the parent-teacher meeting... can only be put aside for now.
at the same time.
Wang Shengnan drove the MG car to the elite middle school. The security guard registered her information and let her enter the campus.
She recognized the teaching building, but she didn't know where the Grade 11 class was. She only confirmed the location of the classroom after asking the student in charge of reception.
"Auntie, please sign first."
As an active member of the class, Jiang Tianhao naturally shouldered the important task of receiving parents, and it had to be me. Seeing Wang Shengnan sign his name behind Lin Miaomiao's name, he was happy, patted his chest and said: "Auntie, it turns out you are Miaomiao's mother. Miaomiao and I are very good friends."
"Huh, really?"
Wang Shengnan smiled politely and didn't take Mr. Jiang's intrusive behavior too seriously. He straightened the bag on his shoulder and prepared to go inside.
Jiang Tianhao pointed to Lin Miaomiao's seat: "Auntie, Miaomiao's seat is over there."
"Oh, okay." Wang Shengnan said thank you, turned to look at the podium, and found the midterm exam score rankings represented by mountain peaks and small flags. He bypassed the parents chattering around the blackboard and looked for Lin Miaomiao's position. .
From Qian Sanyi, the highest, to Liang Yunshu, the second, and Du Tao, the sixth, all the way down. Finally, she found a small flag with the name "Lin Yue" in the corner. It was no surprise, and then looked to the opposite side. , when she caught the three words Lin Miaomiao, she blinked and looked at the left side. She felt that it was quite symmetrical. When she took a closer look, there was a bang in her head, and a wave of evil fire came from bottom to top, almost covering her whole body. People ignited, Lin Dawei told her that Lin Yue was the last in the class this time, and she also complained that Tang Yuanming's cousin was a pile of mud that couldn't be supported on the wall. As a result... she didn't expect Lin Miaomiao, a guy who reported good things but not bad things. , actually have the same virtue as that ball of mud, and they are tied for last place. Look at the mountains painted on the blackboard, they are so good, one on each side, so symmetrical.
Wang Shengnan still couldn't believe it. He walked to Lin Miaomiao's desk and lowered his head to check the test paper to see if the teacher had miscalculated the grade or something.
But no, my daughter’s liberal arts skills were pretty good, but her scores in math, physics, and chemistry were simply unsatisfactory.
The red-hot 34 points, 44 points, and 46 points completely shattered her illusions.
"Hey, is this Lin Yue's seat? The handwriting is pretty good, but with this score, he didn't pass any of the courses." Hearing the voice next to her, she looked up and found that there were parents of students there. Looking through the test papers on the empty seat by the window.
The two words "Lin Yue" attracted the attention of several parents. After all, the song "Lonely Warrior" has been popular on the Internet for almost two months. Not only does it show no signs of subsidence, but it has been out of the circle and has been covered in various ways. , not to mention young people, even kindergarten children can say a few words. There is such a weird thing in their class. The students will definitely tell their parents. Parents are inevitably curious and think that if they can’t see anyone, let’s take a look. He took the test paper, so it was rude to read other people's test papers without permission, and I couldn't restrain my curiosity.
Deng Xinhua, who had just arrived in the classroom, didn't even have time to look at her daughter's ranking on the blackboard and walked straight over to check the content together.
Forget it about Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and History and Geography. There are right and wrong, but the score is not high anyway. I can’t see anything special about it. But the Chinese test paper... attracted everyone’s attention. After all, there is a composition, and his handwriting is accurate. nice.
"I heard my daughter say that he wants to be an art student. The writing is really beautiful." Putting aside the prejudice, a parent commented seriously.
"It's just this composition..."
Everyone looked at it and shook their heads. No wonder he only got 5 points out of 60 points for his essay. These 5 points were completely given by the marking teacher.
"Teacher Zhao, Teacher Zhao is here."
At this time, they only heard the greetings from the parents in front of the teacher. When everyone looked back, they found that Zhao Rongbao was here. They no longer cared about how many points Lin Yue had scored in the exam, and they all went over to get close to the class teacher. Of course, Jiang Tianhao's father Jiang Qilong was among them, who gave him his business card. Introducing his own strength is not enough, but he still insists on asking for Zhao Rongbao's home address, saying that he will send him a few bags of rice that he grew up listening to Buddhist scriptures for him to try.
…
Next to the sidewalk connecting the stadium and the teaching building, Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao held on to the horizontal bars of the walking machine and swayed back and forth with their legs on the pedals.
"Xiao Qi, I'm dead this time. Do you think...will my mother kill me when she sees my grades?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Deng Xiaoqi thought seriously: "I think she will starve you for two days at most."
"Then she'd better kill me."
She was more afraid of not having food than death.
"Oh, I'm just kidding, don't think too much. You're not the last one. Strictly speaking, you're the second last one. Didn't you say that the math teacher gave you a wrong question? ?”
"1 point, even if you make a mistake, it's only 1 point. Xiaoqi, I think you are humiliating me. Doesn't your heart hurt?"
"But this 1 point means a lot to you. With this extra point, you will not be the last one, but the second last one."
"That's what it says..."
Anyway, Lin Miaomiao thought this was awkward.
"Hey, Miaomiao, do you think that's Lin Yue?"
Hearing the reminder from her best friend, she looked to the west and saw a figure that looked like Lin Yue entering the teaching building.
"There's a parent-teacher meeting over there, what's he going to do? Isn't it fun for him in the past?"
Deng Xiaoqi couldn't understand what this operation was.
"Let's go and have a look." Lin Miaomiao was no longer distressed and no longer afraid of the tigress at home. Regardless of Deng Xiaoqi's resistance, she took her best friend's hand and ran to the teaching building.
