The red-brick and black-tiled teaching buildings of this school stand next to the empty streets. From time to time, the bustling sound of reading can be heard in a teaching building near the road. This is the only high school in the county. County No. 1 Middle School is also built on the edge of the river, with rubber dams on both sides. It can be regarded as the most remote place in the county. The county has just finished planning the land, and this remote and quiet place was planned. In Xuecheng District, within two years, County No. 1 Middle School moved from the center of the town to this lonely place. Slowly, surrounding communities began to rise, and this school changed from a day-to-day school to a boarding school. Coincidentally, with such a drastic reform, the bachelor's degree rate of County No. 1 Middle School has directly increased to 90%. Many parents feel that their children coming here is equivalent to having half a foot in college. Although the management here is strict, five in the morning and one in the evening Ten's life also made these parents feel extremely sorry for their children, but when they thought that in three years they would be able to step into this dream that the older generation had not been able to achieve, these parents became cruel and sent it to them. A school regarded as a stepping stone to university. And he was the student who was sent in by his mother on her knees.
"Brother Jiu, is what our head teacher said true? Are you really brought in by your aunt on her knees?" This is the doubt of Zhang Bajiu’s deskmate, as well as the doubts of his classmates before and after him.
Just a few days ago, there were still 200 days left before the college entrance examination. The school made some arrangements to hold some kind of coming-of-age ceremony to let the children know how difficult it is for their parents. In fact, in the eyes of these children, it is nothing more than chicken soup for the soul. It is only a temporary novelty, but For Zhang Bajiu, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, because his Chinese teacher, a dark and thin little man, mentioned in front of the whole grade assembly that he was admitted to school because his mother knelt down. Come. To be precise, Zhang Bajiu doesn't know the cause and effect of this incident. He only knows that he missed the high school entrance examination by 8 points and entered the county No. 1 middle school. At that time, he only remembered that he could go to high school as long as he paid for it. Now he has kneeled down. He himself was confused about the matter. But when he saw the doubtful and curious eyes of those around him, he felt helpless and thought for a moment.
"Hmph, this old classmate must have nothing to say. He is looking for something that is not real. Let us shed more tears and study hard.",
He didn't even buy this answer. During the meeting, he could clearly see tears flashing in the corners of his mother's eyes. He also understood that if it was arranged in advance, the head teacher would also tell him in advance to wait and see. In his current state, he could probably guess the authenticity of this matter, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his classmates, so he could only find an excuse to excuse it.
Seeing Zhang Ba not talking for a long time, my deskmate also spoke casually.
"Our old classmate also knows how to make chicken soup for the soul. Who cares? Even if it is true, I, Brother Jiu, am still afraid of not being able to get into college? Brother Jiu, will there be any answers to the math mock test later? Let me meow, I will specify Not copying everything”,
The classmates on the left and right also smiled. The person sitting in front of Zhang Bajiu was Liu Yanfei, who was tall and short-haired. He had the unique simplicity and agility of a high school student. He was 1.7 meters tall and weighed only 90 kilograms. From a distance, It seemed extremely uncoordinated, and what was even more uncoordinated was her voice, which sounded like the voice of an 8 or 9-year-old boy during his voice-changing period.
"Do you think he still dares to give you the answer? The last time I gave you the answer, you wrote down three ways to solve the last big question. Brother Jiu was told by the math teacher in front of the whole class that he was stealing. As a class The representative is not qualified...".
Speaking of this, Li Tianheng stopped talking. He knew that Zhang Bajiu had resisted for him last time, and he was really embarrassed to ask for answers now. As the bell rang, the third to fourth classes every Friday were math mock tests. Zhang Bajiu slowly took out the test paper given to him by the math teacher from his desk pocket, then stood up and walked to the podium. , In fact, he is not very tall. He is just a little taller than 175 in basketball shoes, and his figure is slightly thin. After all, in this life of 5 to 10, some students rarely gain weight in such an environment. . Zhang Bajiu walked to the podium and opened the test paper bag neatly. The students below also sat upright from the chatter and jokes before class, and put the useless books on the desk in the desk pocket, under the chair, or beside the aisle. On the way, I scraped together scrap paper. During this time, all the teachers or class teachers were in meetings, the class teachers were holding regular meetings, and the teachers of each subject were also holding exam preparation meetings, so they were usually studying. The committee members or class representatives organized themselves, and everyone still gave this class representative a lot of respect. On the one hand, it was the pressure from the mathematics teacher, and on the other hand, Zhang Bajiu's own strength and his usual kind attitude towards others.
Zhang Bajiu said, "There are three or four classes during the exam, and there will be no classes in between. The fourth class will finish 20 minutes late for 120 minutes."
He spoke very easy-going and there was no timidity in his voice. Then he divided the test paper and answer sheet in his hand into four parts and passed them on respectively. He turned around and picked up the chalk and wrote neatly on the blackboard, Class Seven, Grade Three In the math test, the four options A, B, C and D were clearly written on the upper left corner of the blackboard. Seeing that everyone had the test papers in their hands, he knocked on the blackboard and said:
"Everyone take a look at question 11 of the multiple-choice question. The four options are not clear enough when printed. If you can't see clearly, look at the blackboard."
Liu Yanfei looked at the four options on the blackboard, smiled knowingly, and whispered to her deskmate:
"Yu Meina, let's make a bet. If I don't read question 11, I will definitely choose c correctly."
Her deskmate was a sweet-looking little girl. She usually spoke softly and was very quiet. Her hair was naturally a little yellow and she looked like a doll. Yu Meina said noncommittally:
"I don't believe it. If you are right, I will ask Zhang Bajiu that question!"
"Then go ahead and you'll know the answer in the evening self-study," Liu Yanfei said with good intentions.
Through the glass on the door, the math teacher Mr. Li was looking at the boy standing on the podium. The scene of the first year of high school also appeared in his mind. He could not help but feel a sense of pride and gratification in his heart. This was what he had encountered in the past 20 years of his career. She has the lowest starting point, but she is the best class representative and the student she admires most.
When I first entered the campus in the first year of high school, the teaching building of the first year of high school was on the side of the school near the road. Zhang Bajiu went to the teaching building with a thermos, a washbasin, and some toiletries. He might have been novel and didn't look at the road. Teacher Li pretended to be full. Teacher Li raised his head and looked at the childish-looking student:
"You are a freshman in high school, right? This is a teaching building, not a dormitory building. Take your things and go to the dormitory building quickly."
While picking up things, Zhang Bajiu raised his head and said timidly: "Hey, teacher, I came here by myself. I didn't pay much attention to the sign next to it. I really can't find it."
Teacher Li looked at this timid student quietly. All the students who came with him were first-year high school students and their parents. It would be better to ask others than just wandering around here. Then he carefully looked at the student in front of him. :
"Which class are you in?"
Zhang Bajiu didn't know what to say for a moment. He was afraid that the teacher would write down his name and leave a bad impression on the school teacher before class started, so he hesitated and said: "Grade 1, class 20 or 30.
Teacher Li was obviously a little bit amused by this answer, and said: "So are you in Class 10, Class 20, or Class 30? Is the teacher so scary? I won't report you, so you just Tell me which class you are in so I can tell you where your class is."
Zhang Bajiu looked at the teacher in front of him and said: "It's Class 23, Grade 1, Zhang Bajiu."
Teacher Li became very happy when he heard this. Since he has been teaching senior high school students for these years, his body has become increasingly unable to bear it, so he came to teach the first year of high school students. He applied to the school many times before the school agreed to let him teach the first year of high school students. The so-called last class is the students who have passed the exam through abnormal examinations. They are usually students who are not close enough to the score line and their grades are average. But there is one person who wants to go to school before the start of school. Teacher Li heard that there is this student in this class. The full score of the high school entrance examination is 700 points. The three subjects of physics, chemistry and mathematics add up to 280 points. However, this student’s total score is only 412, and the score line of No. 1 Middle School is 420, that is, you can go to it as long as you pass all subjects, but this child seems to be cursed. And this student is Zhang Bajiu in front of Teacher Li, who is also a student in his class.
"You are a student in our class. I am your math teacher Li Huijuan. Just call me Teacher Li. Your high school entrance examination is a bit biased. You scored 96 points in the math test, which is very high. You are also in the top 10 in the county. , I will take you to your dormitory, how about you be my class representative from now on?"
Zhang Bajiu was stunned for a long time. Looking at the eloquent Teacher Li in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. What was going on? However, he was timid and never agreed to Teacher Li's offer to be the class representative. He usually lives alone, and also He never thought about who he was or what he was until the teacher took him downstairs and outside.
The teacher pointed to the two side-by-side buildings in the middle and said: "This is the teaching building for the third year of high school. The circular one-story building next to it is the auditorium, and the semi-circular 4-story building further past is the cafeteria for dining. At that time, you were on the third floor, the teachers were on the fourth floor, and then there were the sophomores and seniors. Crossing the path in front is your boys dormitory." After saying that, he waved and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you haven't decided yet whether you want to be my class." Where is the representative?
Zhang Bajiu listened to the teacher's introduction to the school along the way, nodding his head and humming, but he did not expect that the teacher was still struggling with whether to be her class representative, so they hummed together.
Teacher Li stopped seeing him off, so he turned around and said, "Zhang Bajiu, our class is on the 6th floor, and my office is also there. Remember to come find me when you finish your work."... Ling. Teacher Li came back to his senses from the sudden ringing of the bell, looked at the child sitting on the podium in the classroom with eyes full of joy, and hurried back to the office to continue the exam preparation meeting.
