Chapter 12 Flowering Season and Rainy Season - Chapter 12 "Fish" and "Bear's Paw"

As soon as the school bell rang, Xie Xinran found Tang Yanyan waiting for her at the door of the classroom. "What do you want from me? The final exam is coming, you must be very nervous!" Xin Ran imagined that the third year of high school was a sea of ​​questions. "Xin Ran, I'm here to tell you something." "Oh?" "I don't plan to take the college entrance examination." Xin Ran was surprised: "Why?" "I'm waiting for the quota. My dad's company has another quota this year, and it may be our family. If I take the college entrance examination, I have to go back to Shanghai to take the exam. If I take the college entrance examination, I will always be in the mainland. It’s difficult. If I give up the college entrance examination, my father’s hukou will come, and my hukou will follow.”

"What if I don't make it this time?" After listening to Tang Yanyan's "analysis", she was very worried. Tang Yanyan glanced at Xinran, and said very calmly: "If that's the case, we can only resign ourselves to fate." "Don't you think it's too risky?" "Yes. It's a risk, a gamble. If I give up the college entrance examination and fail to rank in the household registration indicators, I will lose my wife and lose my army." "Yanyan..." Xin Ran's voice trembled a little. Tang Yanyan pretended to smile relaxedly, and in turn comforted Xinran: "However, the change of residence is more certain this time."

"Do your parents agree?" "I disagreed at the beginning. They were all college students. They felt that going to college was authentic. Later, they gradually became civilized. Now my dad said that I can make up my own mind. Don't regret it in the future and blame him instead. Whether it will be good or bad in the future, I carry it alone." Tang Yanyan sighed. "It's no wonder they don't agree. Shanghai is not other places. Many people want to get in but can't get in." "So I have been hesitating myself. When you sent me the card that day, I didn't tell you because I haven't fully considered it yet."

"Have you considered it now?" She happily recalled her expression when she delivered the Christmas card that day. "College students from the mainland still come to wash the dishes, and besides, the distribution of female college students is a problem now." Tang Yanyan answered irrelevantly. "Why bother!" Tang Yanyan said, "Didn't you mention it in your geography class? Shanghai is sinking, and it may be submerged by sea water! Haha!" Tang Yanyan is such an optimist, she will "laugh and cry" when it comes to worrying things, but Xin Ran sounds very uncomfortable.

"Yanyan, I think it's a pity that you are so good, your grades are so good." "It's a pity." Tang Yanyan repeated, pondering for a while, "Yes, it's a pity." " "There is no better way. Two thousand years ago, 'Grandpa Meng' told us: you can't have both. "In your eyes, Shenzhen Hukou is like a bear's paw." "Yes, in my eyes, Shenzhen's 'green card' is more attractive than a university badge." "Instead of me, I wouldn't do this." "Because you haven't gotten there yet."

"No, even if I'm in the third year of high school, I won't be like you!" Xin Ran's voice became louder. Tang Yanyan didn't insist on it, she just said: "The sky for women is low." Why did she mention Xiao Hong's words for no reason? What does it mean?After all, he was in the third year of high school, so his speech was deeper. After breaking up with Tang Yanyan, Xin Ran felt very depressed. Replaying Tang Yanyan's words in her mind, she felt very heavy, as if she was carrying a burden, a burden that should not have been carried by their age or generation. It is a big burden, but they are carrying it.Xin Ran was a little scared, she knew that the burden really existed, and it was on her back, could she get rid of it?when?

Walking home dejectedly, it happened that the elevator in their building was broken. Xin Ran lived on the 18th floor, and Xin Ran went upstairs step by step. In the empty stairs, her heavy and weak footsteps echoed, and her heart was so desolate.On the 18th floor, she wanted to cry. Mom is talking to relatives in the living room.This relative just came from Hunan, and he said he was a relative, but it was so far away that Xinran didn't know how to address him.According to my mother, it seems to be the younger brother of my mother's sister-in-law's sister's husband.Since their family came to Shenzhen, the family relationship has become complicated and complicated. Regardless of business or personal business, anyone who comes to Shenzhen will come to their house.And I never leave empty-handed, take what is good, and take what is not.My mother said that if I went to the United States, why not have a big family connection with relatives.This relative is a cadre in an inland agency, and he thinks he should make some money while he is young.So I issued a sick leave certificate for one year off for "hepatitis", and came to Shenzhen with "labor insurance".This person is also a person of status in the mainland, but when he comes to Shenzhen, he can put down his face and do some "lower jobs", thinking about earning some money and going back to enjoy himself.

Mom is making a shopping guide: Be sure to haggle in half, you can buy more than 200 clothes for more than 100; when you arrive in Shatoujiao, how to avoid the police and go to the British side to buy things; where are the cheapest things in Shenzhen... a pair Looks like a shopping expert.The relatives also opened their mouths wide, listening intently, as if they had learned some true biography. "I'm back, Mom." Xin Ran said.She didn't call that relative.Mom said that he should be called "Uncle", according to seniority, but he was only twenty-seven or eighty-eight, and Xin Ran couldn't say it out loud, so he nodded his head as a greeting.

"Xinran, what's the matter?" The mother saw at a glance that her daughter's expression was wrong. Xin Ran trembled a few times before saying, "Tang Yanyan won't be going back to Shanghai for the college entrance examination." "What's up with her?" "She said the hukou is coming soon, and Shenzhen's 'green card' is more attractive than a university badge." "That's not bad." The relative interjected, "There is a well-written poem, 'There is geometry in life, why bother to learn geometry, learn geometry and use it, and do not learn geometry and geometry? This is the way things are in the world today, a university professor It’s not as good as the old lady who sells sweet potatoes earns more... How good it is in Shenzhen, how easy it is to make money, why bother to go to university, this is called 'the world is hard to make money'..."

When my mother heard this, she was very disgusted, because she was a relative, so it was difficult to refute it, so she just coughed twice, and the man stopped talking wisely, and my mother asked, "What do you think?" Shaking his head happily. "Xin Ran, you can't be so unpromising. You can't learn from Tang Yanyan. You must go to college. I told your father yesterday that I will send you back in the second year of high school. Of course it is best to take the exam here. ...It's all your father's fault for giving the indicators to others." Xinran walked to the balcony, standing on the balcony of the 18th floor has the feeling of "climbing Mount Tai and making the world small". You can have a panoramic view of "National Business", "Grand Theater" and "Huanyu".Shenzhen is a beautiful city, but does this belong to her?I think of this sentence: "Everyone is looking for the happiness he thinks with the imprint of life. Tang Yanyan's decision may be imprinted by the imprint of life. Xin Ran has no right to interfere with other people's paths. So what about myself, the happiness I am looking for? Tang Yanyan's choice may be just a shock to Xinran, maybe it is the enlightenment of the society to them, and the initial and most direct impression of Shenzhen to them may be nothing...

Everything in front of me blurred. growing up is not easy Xiaoxu's diary X month X day It's almost the final exam, and I'm so nervous that it's going to be today.There are exams and rankings, and there will be many students discussing around the score table. When I got home, my brother told me that human beings will explode the earth in 1999, But I laughed at him: "It's your patent again?" He didn't believe me.Impatient: "Really, our class is talking about this today, and the Japanese even published a book about prophecy, the end of the world - 1999, if you don't believe me, I'll borrow it for you tomorrow!" gosh.Only a few years to live! In 1999, when I was young, I was about to be robbed like this.What a misfortune!I will soon be divided into classes in arts and sciences, so I can get rid of the hateful physics.Chemistry, now it’s good, the end of the world is coming, so what else to study, what kind of economic construction, what kind of house to build, what kind of work to do-everyone just wait until they die. Thinking about it again, I didn't die alone, everyone died.Liu Xia, Xin Ran, Xiao Yao, the whole class died.Teacher Jiang is going to die too...how terrible. Mom came back and we talked to her.She glanced at us and said, "Your gossip is really good! Our newspaper just refuted the rumors, which are all fake. It's just a sensational farce. No one knows when the end of the world will come. Yes, except for God, no one knows when the end of the world will come, and I'm kind of thankful. "Hurry up and study, the final exam is coming soon!" "It's too bad." I suddenly remembered that there was a physics test tomorrow. Fortunately, it is a pity that this is the real disaster! X month X day The physics results were sent out, and the red light was on.said the physics teacher.If you fail this quiz, you will fail the final exam even more.God!The small blackboard at the back reads "15 days until the final exam. And some people reduce the number of days every day. It's scary to practice "countdown" like others! What's even more frightening is that I'm getting less and less confident.Getting more and more uncertain about things.I remember Teacher Jiang said that "people who lack self-confidence are often people who achieve nothing."I just lack self-confidence, and always pin my hopes on God's will. I often use the heads and tails of coins to predict whether the exam will be good or bad.Use the monoeven of the leaves to estimate how many fractions there are. I was very depressed.Liu Xia came to ask how to review. "I won't review anymore, I'll go all out." I said casually.But I asked in my heart, is this my voice?I always feel that I can't be so free and easy.Liu Xia looked at me for a long time, and pursed her lips in a half-smile: "Then unless the sun comes out from the west." Liu Xia's words proved that the words just now did not come from me. As long as the college entrance examination exists.Even if the sun comes out from the west, I have to review.Half of it is for my mother, fulfilling her life's dream.She expects too much from us.I couldn't bear to let her down.She often said: "Xiaoxu, Xiaodou. You must live up to your mother and your dead father." My mother should have been Li Qingzhao or Zhu Shuzhen.Her dream in her youth was to become a Marie Curie in the literary world.It's a pity that she married my dad, a top student at Tsinghua University who is more talented than her, and has since "goed into decline".Music, chess, calligraphy and painting have become daily necessities, and the writer's dream has also become soap bubbles.Some people say that women regard their home as their world, and men regard the world as their home.Indeed!I know that my mother placed great hopes on our siblings, especially after my father passed away, she put all her efforts on us.Think of this physical roll of dry red light.I am ashamed. Xinran comforted me today: "You should learn to enlighten yourself, such as using self-suggestion to regulate emotions - 'I can't, and others may not be able to do it'. Think about it and you will make it..." Does this work?I wish I could do well next time to explain that the failure this time was just a mistake.But I don't have confidence, I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam next time. Little Beibei's mother reprimanded her from next door, it must be due to her low test scores.Little Beibei cried miserably, she is only in the second grade, and there are thousands of exams waiting.I am afraid when I think about it, and I always don’t want to grow up.I wish I could be a little girl forever, but when I think of little Beibei.Only then did I feel that it was good to grow up.We're almost at the end of it anyway.It's not easy growing up. I don't know how many brain cells died Then, of course, is the intense final review. The Japanese study hard and the competition among students is world famous.But they are "insignificant" compared with Chinese students.Japanese middle school students study at home for one and a half hours, while Chinese middle school students study for three and a half hours.to high school.Especially in the third year of high school, let alone. Probably the most successful and effective way to force people to read in the history of education is the test. Every student worked harder than usual during the review period.If you can think of a way to reverse this phenomenon, you will definitely win the "Grand Prize for Promoting the Progress of Human Civilization".The tapes, Walkman, computer discs, and game consoles in the table exhibition were taken home.Idle books are also returned to their original owners.No one talks about Jimmy Lin and the construction of the new Hong Kong airport.You can see students who are studying hard everywhere.I don't know who changed the "only 10 days before the exam" on the backward blackboard to "only 10 days before the holiday", which is even more irritating.During this period, the teacher also increased the amount of homework and tests.The words of the teachers contradict each other. "A true scholar never misses every detail," said the chemistry teacher. "Don't focus on the details. You have to have a long-term vision and a big picture, so that you can grasp the whole." The history teacher said. Who do you listen to? The geography teacher said: "According to reports, Archeopteryx was not the earliest bird, but the geography book has not been changed, so you have to write Archeopteryx for me." What's the point? Exams are like playing hide-and-seek between candidates and examiners. Don't you know the highest peak, then I will test you for the second peak. Is it making things difficult? In the morning, as soon as Lin Xiaoxu entered the classroom, he asked, "Liu Xia, how long did you do these problems last night?" Lin Xiaoxu pointed to the math book on Liu Xia's desk.Xiaoxu spent a whole night on these math problems, sacrificing a lot of brain cells, which made her doubt her ability. "It's unbearable to look back. It took three hours and eighteen minutes." Liu Xia sighed bitterly. Lin Xiaoxu smiled slightly, and was a little happy. It turned out that everyone was mutual. Compared with junior high school, I was much happier, and I could flip through magazines after finishing my homework.Listen to music, watch TV.After being honored to enter the ninth middle school, she was under a lot of pressure and never went to bed before twelve o'clock at night.The endless exercises and papers made her breathless.Occasionally I want to watch magazines and TV, but when I sit in front of the TV, there is always a voice lingering in my ears: "Others are working hard. On the one hand, Xiaoxu has been attracted by the film, and on the other hand, he feels that watching TV She seems to be committing a crime. Feeling uneasy. Going home to study, but can’t continue, thinking about the unfinished movie. When encountering a question that she doesn’t know, she will be very angry, “For Chen Ming and Xinran, this question is No fuss, stupid me.Sometimes she will be very excited when she breaks through many difficulties and tackles the next question, "Maybe they didn't make it, but I'm okay." She worked so hard but didn't want others to know. That time the school issued a student survey form, and one column was "Study time at home", Xiaoxu was at least five hours, but she only filled in three hours; "Bedtime", also only filled in around 10:30.She was afraid that others would think she was stupid if they knew she worked so hard but did not study well.The survey results are quite different from the actual situation.It turns out that many classmates are like her.But people like Yu Fa, who rarely touch books at home, fill in the study time for four hours.The teacher found it inconceivable: "What's the matter with the students nowadays, those who work hard don't say that they are hard, and those who don't work hard say that they are hard. Last night, it took Lin Xiaoxu all night to finish the questions, but he always felt that he did not do it right.I couldn't go on reviewing other homework, and I was very annoyed, so I went to bed.Lying on the bed, I thought of that math problem again, even though my eyelids were glued together very firmly, I just couldn't fall asleep, as if sleeping was just being lazy.No, Xiaoxu got up again and continued to read, but couldn't read any more.Simply sit, staring at the textbook without any memory.It's just for psychological comfort: I didn't sleep, and I "studied" late.It's just that she didn't expect the effect. "Xiaoxu, our answers are different." Liu Xia compared his notebook with Xiaoxu's. "yes?" "Well, ask Chen Ming." Liu Xia turned her head, "Chen Ming, how did you do yesterday's math problem?" Chen Ming handed the notebook to Liu Xia casually, and continued to review his homework.Chen Ming attached great importance to exams, especially such big exams.He admits he has vanity.I wish I could be the first every time. His status and prestige in the class are all because of his grades.Because he has always worked hard and studied well, it is easy to review.He always maintains an orderly life law.He will never drive late during the exam.He knew that would be counterproductive, and Chen Ming was unwilling to give lectures to the students.It's not because of selfishness, but because sometimes when he tells it once, the questioner still doesn't understand, and they will keep asking: "Why? Based on what?" .The exam is coming soon, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold. After finishing the question, Liu Xia said to Lin Xiaoxu: "You are wrong, I am the same as Chen Ming. It seems that your whole thinking is wrong." Lin Xiaoxu took the notebook and saw that it was wrong.She slumped down on a chair all of a sudden.I just want to cry, I spent a whole night of painstaking efforts, but I was wrong! Even in such a tense atmosphere, there are people who are not in a hurry. "Xiao Yao, lend me the algebra to copy." Yu Fa opened his mouth and said, without blushing at all, as if borrowing a pen. It is not enough to be serious in the review class, you must also have the skills to carefully analyze and study the voice and intonation used by the teacher. The tone of the voice is relatively moderate and consistent. Generally, it is not the focus; It is the key point; but those "materials" that are really valuable and that students want.When the teacher revealed it intentionally or unintentionally, he whispered it vaguely in a tone that seemed clear but not clear.These are definitely not something that can be mastered overnight, and it is impossible for a ten-year "school age" to practice this set of excellent skills of "listening to gongs and drums". Taking a review class is a great way to exercise people's judgment ability. For the teacher's "simple look", "basic mastery", "special look", and "key remember", we must use a philosophical point of view "concrete analysis of specific issues" .For example, Lin Xiaoxu typed "★" all in one color, regardless of priority. No wonder she couldn't get a good score by reciting the dead.Xinran is much smarter. The key points of each question are coded differently. What happened to Tang Yanyan had a great impact on Xinran.Xin Ran felt really sad for Yan Yan when she gave up the college entrance examination for the sake of Shenzhen hukou.Xinran's mind is full of going to college, and her parents' emphasis on going to college makes Xinran believe in the truth: only by going to college can one be considered promising.Whenever the children of relatives and friends receive a college admission letter, their parents will "tsk tsk" in admiration.Xin Ran always hopes that one day, she can also wear the school badge of a prestigious university.Make your parents happy.Such thinking has never wavered, and shows no sign of wavering.Xin Ran didn't understand, Tang Yanyan's parents were also intellectuals, what kind of state of mind did they accept Tang Yanyan's decision?Alas, Shenzhen middle school students without registered permanent residence. Now, Xinran can't be sure of anything, nor can she guarantee anything, but she must pass the final exam this time.This is what she is trying to do. "Xin Ran, I can't find 'Use Value of Commodities'. Liu Qing hasn't marked this question yet, the teacher has already given the next question, and she is anxious to glance at Xin Ran's textbook. Gladly told her. "What about the 'two basic functions of money'?" Liu Qing asked again. Because the teacher started to talk about "key points to remember".Xin Ran had no choice but to say this time: "I'll tell you after class." The students kept writing and scribing, big one, two three, small (one) (two) (three), small 123, small ①②③; very important, key to remember.General understanding.After a review class, it was really like a battle.But it's not over yet, there is still "finishing work", it should be said that the work behind is even more "hard". "Students, let's mark all these topics. Go back and memorize the key points. There are almost 90 points." "Then where are the 10 points left?" Someone chased after him. "The 10 points are a live question." "How to live, let me give you an example. For example..." Using such a polite word "for example" seems to be asking the teacher for advice. "Teacher, is this the point?" "Is it okay to answer this question?" "Is this question likely to be tested?" Such "set questions" can be heard everywhere.If the teacher doesn't "pass some water", don't think of going out of the classroom door.They have been tested. The political teacher was a little dumbfounded: "You just ask me to tell you the question." "I don't mind." A bit presumptuous. "I can't say any more. If I say it, I will miss the question." The teacher shook his hand.want to go. "Teacher, are the exam questions deep?" "Neither deep nor shallow. In the past, it was hand-printed, and the heavy printing was dark, and the light printing was shallow. Now it is controlled by computer, and it is neither deep nor shallow." The teacher's answer is really amazing. Seeing that the "set of questions" was hopeless, Yu Fa asked, "Teacher, who will invigilate the exam?" The students were delighted when they heard it, knowing that Yu Fa had the intention of "making a cat out of it".The teacher said angrily: "You students just take your exams. Why do you care which teacher invigilates the exams?" "Be mentally prepared." "If you like which teacher invigilates the exam, it can only show that the teacher is irresponsible." "How could it be? We really like your invigilator." Wang Xiaotian said with a smile on purpose, which made the politics teacher choke. "Review well. I am tired from reviewing mathematics, physics and chemistry. I will recite politics during the break." The teacher said. "Yes. Just now, the physics teacher said that I was tired of memorizing politics, Chinese, and English. How about doing physics papers as a rest?" Lin Xiaoxu said. "It's a shame that we haven't worked hard all this time, we're all in Rest!" Liu Xia said, "The teacher cares about us so much!" All of a sudden, the students all "rested". Yu Fa started to act: "Xiao Yao, lend me a copy of your notes." He knew that the activists in the class would always draw up an "outline" before the exam.Just borrow it from a generous classmate and make a copy. Who invented the copier?Yu Fa really wanted to thank him.With this guy, I saved a lot of time copying notes, but it's a pity that I can't hand in a copy of the homework!Every time for the big and small exams, Yu Fa has to soak in front of the copier for several hours. First, the original version is copied, and then the copy is reduced to the size of a palm. During the exam, it is easy to do some tricks. In an emergency, everyone will copy materials and notes, not necessarily because they want to be lazy, but because they want to save time.In the age of science and technology, students cannot be laymen. Is this also a kind of benefit that high technology brings to students? For a time, the learning atmosphere increased greatly.Students holding books can be seen everywhere; the sound of reading can be heard everywhere. "How's the review going?" "It's saturated, and I can't fit one more noun." "To each other, now I can rest assured." The classmates laughed and laughed at each other to adjust the tense and dull atmosphere before the exam. Wang Xiaotian said that if he becomes a teacher in the future, he must reform the examination system.Either test his students severely to vent today's hatred. Of course, you still have to be careful now. "Test, test, test, the teacher's magic weapon; score, score, score, the lifeblood of students. No matter the small test or the big test, students always have to compete. Who doesn't want to "pass", who doesn't want to overwhelm the crowd and stand out? Xiao and Wang Xiaotian rode their bicycles away from the school gate. They always walked together, and Wang Xiaotian always had something to say.From the campus, you have to go through the No. 13 bus stop. I saw her again—every time Xiao Yao passed by the station, he would see the girl in black. In Xiao Yao's impression, she doesn't wear any other colors except black.The girl was very thin, with long hair tied with a thin black ribbon, very chic. "What are you looking at?" Wang Xiaotian asked. "Oh, look, look at the icon." Wang Xiaotian didn't say anything, but smiled surreptitiously, with an inscrutable smile, as if to say: "I really can't see you." The laugh made Xiao Yao panic for a while. "She's in class (3), and her last name is Xiao, just like yours." "Also surnamed Xiao?" Xiao Yao didn't believe it. "Her parents, like your parents, are also abroad." "Also abroad?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised, "Which country?" "Just like you are in class (4) and she is in class (3), your parents are in England and her parents are in France." Wang Xiaotian is really good at connecting two things that are not related at all with so many "same".When Xiao Yao looked back, the girl was getting into the car. , "Xiao Yao. Let me ask you a question. Is kiss a verb, a noun, or something else?" Wang Xiaotian asked while pursing his lips into a smile. "Verbs." Xiao Yao absent-mindedly replied. "Wrong!" Wang Xiaotian denied loudly. "Noun Luo." "Wrong! Your English level is just that." "What? I don't know, tell me!" Wang Xiaotian laughed loudly: "A conjunction!" Xiao Yao came to a conclusion: what Wang Xiaotian asks must not be answered easily, otherwise he will fall into his trap. Thinking of that girl, I wanted to know more about her situation from Wang Xiaotian, but I was embarrassed and asked vaguely: "What does she do?" "Squad leader, isn't it? I'm so nervous that I can't even speak Chinese." "Where, I...I..." Xiao Yao was eager to explain something, but the more he explained, the worse it became.Wang Xiaotian teased again: "Be careful of gray hair! 'If you are passionate, you should laugh at me, and you will have beautiful hair early!'" "She is very tricky." Xiao Yao said. "guihua, what do you mean?" Xiao Yao looked at him.Pretending to be mysterious, he said, "Go home and look it up in the dictionary." Wang Xiaotian suddenly asked: "Do you want to know each other?" "I'm not as suave as you." Wang Xiaotian laughed again.This smile made Xiao Yao very angry, as if to say: "How hypocritical, Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao didn't dare to look back at him, Wang Xiaotian continued, "She's in the next class, so it's easy to know." "How do you say it?" Xiao Yao blurted out, and immediately felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't chase him back.Wang Xiaotian couldn't wait to grab this "braid": "That's right! Tell me if you want to know each other." Xiao Yao was dumbfounded by him, he was very serious but pretended to be casual while listening to Wang Xiaotian's continuation. "For example, pretending not to bring a book to her class to borrow from her, and returning the loan once or twice; and pretending to admit the wrong person, calling her 'sister', and when she turns around, you say, 'I'm sorry, I Misidentified, but you really look like my sister..." "Your method is so old-fashioned?" "Don't you think it's old-fashioned? Then you steal something from her. It must be very beloved and important to her. When she is looking for it anxiously, you give it back to her, saying that you picked it up and have been waiting for the owner. She has been waiting for two days, she must be moved..." "It doesn't hurt like this!" "Then, let's do it! No matter what happens, you go up and pat her on the shoulder, 'Girl, I have nothing, when will you come with me'!" Wang Xiaotian used various gestures and voices while talking.Demonstrating in a tone of voice.He was so proud that Xiao Yao worried that he would fall off the bicycle.Xiao Yao laughed and said, "Is this how you 'hooked up' Liu Xia?" "Hook up', so ugly, Liu Xia..." Wang Xiaotian was not angry at all.He is seldom angry, always smiling, showing two shallow dimples, no wonder girls like him. As soon as Liu Xia was mentioned, and as soon as he saw Liu Xia, he was very excited.It is very simple for Wang Xiaotian to make friends;Liu Xia is a beautiful and bright girl, not pretentious, not artificial, people can feel her sincerity as soon as they talk to her.Once, Wang Xiaotian went around trying to test Xiao Yao's feelings for Liu Xia. He wanted to know the image of his girlfriend in the minds of other opposite sexes.Xiao Yao was straightforward.Unambiguously replied: "Liu Xia is so kind." Wang Xiaotian was puzzled: "Huh?" Xiao Yao explained: "She has always cried when she wanted to cry, laughed when she wanted to, and her emotions were all written on her face. She All my thoughts seem to be answered on my face." Wang Xiaotian was very happy to hear that, even more happy than boasting himself.He always hopes that the things he likes and owns can be recognized by everyone, but he doesn't want to have everyone. But what really made Wang Xiaotian's heart flutter or be overwhelmed by it was the situation of Liu Xia in the piano room that time.When he passed the piano room, he raised his head inadvertently, and saw Liu Xia who was leaning against the window and playing the piano. She was wearing a white dress, and a white ribbon was tied into a bow and hung long at the end of her hair. In the melodious and melodious music, it looked like an angel from the country of music, Wang Xiaotian was stunned.For the first time he felt a beauty, a girlish beauty.This kind of beauty moved Wang Xiaotian.Later, Wang Xiaocai found out that Liu Xiala's song was "Girl's Prayer", and he has remembered this song by heart ever since.Of course, I will not tell others about this, nor have I mentioned it to Liu Xia.He needs to keep this secret alone, this feeling. At the intersection, Xiao Yao parted ways with Wang Xiaotian, and because he remembered to pick up a package, he turned the corner and went to the post office. There were not many people picking up international parcels at the post office, so Xiao Yao went straight.Suddenly he found that the girl in black was leaving the counter, and his heart beat faster.At this time, the girl had already passed by him, Xiao Yao paid attention to the thing in her hand, it was indeed an international postal package, it must be her mother who sent her something from France. Xiao Yao stared at her back intently, and felt strange himself: "What's wrong with me?" From then on, Xiao Yao paid more and more attention to her, took care of her, no matter whether he was going to or from school, he only had to pass this station.He will deliberately slow down the speed of the car; whenever the bell rings during class, Xiao Yao will always look up at the door, because the students in class (3) have to pass by the door of class (4) to the playground; and because of her, he often goes to (3) Class is over, but unlike what Wang Xiaotian said about borrowing books, he just wants to be closer to her. She's not pretty, but she's striking.In a group of girls.You recognize her instantly, without knowing why.Isn't it fun to talk about "temperament" now, maybe it's her temperament.In short, every time Xiao Yao does morning exercises, he can find her immediately among the many girls. Gradually, she also noticed him, and although they never spoke, they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they nodded to each other in greeting.Xiao Yao thinks every time, if there is a chance, he must talk to her. red candle with red heart Although Christmas is a holiday in Western countries, it has already been imported.Shenzhen makes people feel the Christmas atmosphere very strongly.Many shops are decorated with Christmas trees and Santa Claus, and white "Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!" is written on the window. These words are written with a special pen, which looks like snowflakes.Where there is no snow, people always try their best to feel the snow.Many shopping malls distribute coupons for "Christmas big rewards"; on the road, you can see friendly young couples happily returning home with a pot of Christmas trees; Christmas is a time to give thanks and praise. Vendors are very happy to sell one Christmas card after another.Among the classmates who knew a little about business and had some contacts, they also sold Christmas cards in private. After a few days, they got hundreds of dollars.New Christmas cards come out almost every year, and they become more and more refined every year. An expert can tell at a glance: "This is from last year, and it is out of date." Of course, the price is also getting more expensive every year.Now unlike a few years ago, few people comment on whether this kind of sending and receiving is good or not. This seems to have become a means of communication.On Christmas Eve, the streets and alleys are filled with all kinds of incense cards, music houses, fantasy cards, and three-dimensional cards.Shrewd hawkers still set up street stalls at the school gate, and many students patronize them after class. Liu Xia's mother said, don't give it away first, it's not too late to buy a card to give it away after they give it to you. Wang Xiaotian's father said, it's boring, sending it back and forth, it's not a waste of adults' money. Most of the students don't tell their families, they buy them secretly and give them away quietly. They are obviously from a school, so they have to spend 2 cents to mail them back.The students wrote down a few words on the cards that they had decided upon after a lot of thinking, and tried to be poetic, philosophical, and humorous, and then wrote "Merry christmas and Christmas" in English. Happy NewYear", "Best Wishes For New Year" and other greetings.More than just Christmas cards, including calendars, Christmas gifts are "circulated" in different ways. Every year Wang Xiaotian's family has too many calendars, because his father is an official.Anyone who meets friends, visits relatives, pleads, or handles errands, in addition to carrying exquisite gifts, must also add a wall calendar before and after Christmas.What to do with too many calendars?Dad took 10 copies for the driving pony at a time and asked him to distribute them separately.Mom said, otherwise, let Wang Xiaotian give it to the teacher, anyway it would be a burden to leave it at home.Wang Xiaotian immediately said: "Don't mess with me, send this teacher and not that teacher, that one has an opinion, send that and not this, this one has an opinion." "Then you will send them all." "Then they must think you are selling calendars. Besides, if my classmates see it, they must laugh at me, so I won't shine shoes." Since childhood, Wang Xiaotian rarely gave things to others, especially teachers.He thinks it is understandable for others to give things to the teacher.If Wang Xiaotian gave it away, it would always arouse suspicion.Besides, the gifts from their family are all given by others, and it is disrespectful to give them to the teacher again.Wouldn't he become a traitor and a second-hand dealer.Do not send! Lin Xiaoxu wanted to send a card to Mrs. Jiang. She spent a long time choosing this Christmas card with red candles.She asked the salesperson lady to pack it, and the lady took out a plastic bag full of red hearts and put the card in it. Xiaoxu blushed: "This is...for the teacher. "It should be more poetic to give to the teacher. Such a beautiful Christmas card with such a cute plastic bag, and a red candle with a red heart is 100% love. Look how beautiful it is! Miss Yangyang's wrapped Christmas card is indeed even more beautiful. Xiaoxu didn't know how to write the beginning, so it would be better to add some attributive before the word "teacher".Xiaoxu thought and thought, and came up with many adjectives, including "dear", which she thought were inappropriate, inappropriate, inappropriate, and inaccurate, and she wrote these words down on paper.After repeated comparison and pondering one by one, she finally decided to use the word "Dear".Lin Xiaoxu felt that only this word could express her feelings, so she wrote it squarely on the Christmas card: For the beloved Teacher Jiang. A few days before and after Christmas, a blackboard erected at the door of the reception room was filled with people's names. Finally, when Xiao Yao saw her going to get the letter, his heart was very hot, and he followed behind.In fact, his card didn't write anything, but only wrote "Merry Christmas and progress in study", which couldn't be simpler, as simple as boiled water.He really didn't know what to write. He wanted to write this but was afraid that it would be too creamy, and that he was afraid that she would think he was playing deep, so he simply wrote this sentence "one size fits all".Xiao Yao saw her unsealed, she was watching, his heart beat faster... She got on the bus.He was riding a sports car and looked up the car, saw her, and suddenly his eyes met, she smiled at him, and raised her hand holding his Christmas card.It was the first time Xiao Yao saw her smile, but in his memory she had never smiled before.He found her cute when she smiled.Soon, the bus disappeared without a trace, but Xiao Yao was still excited, thinking that he would talk to her tomorrow. The blackboard with the name of the recipient on the door of the reception room has the words "Xie Xinran" almost every day, and often several letters a day.Xie Xinran sometimes felt that it was unnecessary to send it back and forth like this, but it was necessary to send it.The old classmates in Shanghai have to give it away, if you don’t give it away, people will say you are arrogant; the teachers have to give it away, especially the former head teacher, Mr. Lan, and Mrs. Chen, who was hospitalized after half a month of teaching at the beginning of the term; and the elder brother has to be given away, which is Xinran's rules; and the third year of high school... simply, Xinran bought 20 Christmas cards in one go, and distributed them one by one.I was so busy all night, and sent 12 letters in one go the next day.The rest belong to our school, Tang Yanyan, Su La... She is afraid that she will forget someone.She and Lin Xiaoxu agreed not to give it to anyone else, and it would be boring to give it to good friends. Xiao Yao, do you want to give it to him?Xin Ran hesitated, I would not take the initiative to send it, there is only one exception - Su La, Su La in the third year of high school.Xinran gave it to him every year, just like giving it to my brother in the country every year.The "why" here, Xinran can't explain clearly, but one thing is certain, it's not because I like him.But...maybe it's guilt. Just because she doesn't like it, she can give it away every year without any scruples. one hundred and one apologies During the class break, Xinran took two cards and ran to the sixth floor, which was the third grade.One was for Tang Yanyan, and the other was for Su La, both with the same content: "I wish you to be admitted to university. Tang Yanyan took the card, opened it, and said "It's so beautiful" in Shanghai. When she saw Xinran's congratulatory message was "I wish you to be admitted to university", she didn't say anything, folded the card, put it back in the envelope, and the corner of her mouth showed A wry smile. "Yanyan. When are you going back to Shanghai?" "Is it winter vacation? Can I see you off? "Xinran. I..." Tang Yanyan muttered, "Let's talk about it later. Xin Ran didn't force it, and said: "Give this to Su La, you help me give it to him. "You want me to help you again, why do you give me this 'difficult and glorious task' every year? It's the last year, you can do it yourself!" "Oh, just help me. Please!" "what is the benefit?" "Well, please eat ice cream." "It's winter. I won't eat it if you pay for it!" "Then I ask you..." "Okay, I don't want you to ask me. Help me again. I, the older sister, have done something for my younger sister!" Tang Yanyan said, "One day, he asked me your phone number." "You gave it to him?" "No. But he's pretty good, so it doesn't suit you. He's affectionate enough for you." Tang Yanyan giggled after she finished speaking. "Screw you!" At this time.Sulla came up the stairs. Tang Yanyan shouted: "Sura, I am glad to send you the card. She is too embarrassed to give it to you in person, so she asked me to be the middleman and hand it over to you!" "My God (My God)!" Xin Ran cried out in her heart, her face flushed, Tang Yanyan was like this, she really wanted to scold her. Tang Yanyan handed the card to Sura and ran away, leaving Sura and Xinran behind.Xinran was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to let go.Sura smiled.Open Christmas card. "Xin Ran, thank you." Xinran was very excited, hearing him thank her for the first time.Can't wait for Xinran to finish his excitement.Su La added: "Thank you for lending me the junior high school review textbook." Xinran suddenly dimmed again.At this time, the class bell rang, and she said grayly: "Class is over."I'm leaving. Xinran and Su La met two years ago.At that time, Xinran had just transferred from the mainland to attend the second year of junior high school. Looking at it now, she was really a little girl, a silly little girl.Once, the second grade of junior high school went to the swimming pool for class. It happened that the first grade of senior high school was about to have swimming class. The last exercise was diving. The students jumped off the diving board one by one.A few girls did not dare to jump, and climbed down from the water ladder layer by layer.There was a boy who didn't dare to jump, and went into the water with the ladder like the girls. He saw it happily and said to a girl next to him, "This guy is really useless. I don't know if he is a boy! I guess he heard this. Because he gave her a hard look, and it felt bad, like wet hair. After swimming class, Xin Ran had long forgotten about it.Back to school building from swimming pool.At the stairs on the second floor, Xinran saw the boy.His hair was still wet.The eyes are red like a pit bull. "How does this compare to a swimming pool?" He cocked his thumb toward the window. Xin Ran looked down, four or five meters high, a little scared. "Do you dare to jump down?" He raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you dare, what about you?" Although Xin Ran was flustered, her voice was loud. "Hey!" The boy sneered, and jumped down with a glance of displeasure. Xinran also jumped down. Both were later taken to hospital. The boy asked: "Why do you really dance?" "Don't you dance too?" "I jumped to show you." "I jumped for you too." "I can't see." "I can see it myself." Afterwards, I was pleased to know that this boy was named Sura, and he was in the same class as Tang Yanyan.Soon, I received a letter from Sulla. The 14-year-old Xinran received a "love letter" for the first time, and was a little excited amidst nervous fear.Thirteen and fourteen years old are identified as "dangerous ages" by educators. Children at this age have great psychological and physical changes, and they especially need the help of adults.Parents often give their children great love when they are young, but they ignore them when their children enter adolescence and their personality needs to be finalized.I readily told my mother about the fluctuations in my heart, but my mother had no time or patience to listen.listen listen.Suddenly asked: "Where are you talking about?" Lonely, lonely' shouting endlessly, I really don't know the blessing in the blessing!" After several days of deliberation, Xin Ran decided to tell her parents the whole story. Tang Yanyan warned, "You are crazy, and adults should not know about this kind of thing." Xin Ran didn't believe it, and not only told her mother, but also showed her the letter. My mother read out some of the "valuable" things she saw: "...I think our interests and personalities are very similar. I would like to regard you as my closest friend; would you also like to regard me as my friend? Your friendliest friend..." After reading this, my mother said: "It's so funny." Xin Ran was stunned, feeling as if she had been stripped naked and standing in front of her mother.She regretted it; only then did she believe Tang Yanyan's words. After my mother read the letter, she questioned it carefully, just like she would inquire about the condition in a hospital.Xinran shook her head three times, and her mother asked suspiciously: "Really?" Xinran cried, and her mother nodded, she believed in tears.Finally, my mother was satisfied, and immediately prescribed a prescription: "Return the letter!" That tone was like a doctor giving a medical certificate to a patient, and there was nothing to discuss. With the "assistance" of my mother, I wrote the envelope, put a stamp on it, packed it, and sealed it.Sent away overnight.At night, Xinran lay on the bed, unable to sleep well. I thought I would have nothing to worry about after talking with my mother, but I imagined that my worries were even heavier. She regretted revealing the letter to her mother.Especially the sentence "so funny" when my mother read the letter made her heart cool.Every adolescent girl has a sense of mystery about the life of a grown woman.They want a caring woman by their side.You can talk about life and love with them knee to knee, eye to eye.This is the "heart-to-heart talk" understood by young girls.With this thought in mind, Xin Ran summoned up the courage to tell her mother, hoping that her mother, a mature woman, would help her out of her confusion with her own experience.I didn't expect a highly educated mother to deal with it so easily. It was dark the next day.Xin Ran ran to the post box, waiting for the recipient to come and get the letter back.But the postman said that last night's letter had been taken away.Xin Ran almost collapsed in front of the mailbox. To make matters worse, Mom made a special trip to the school to find Sura's head teacher.So Sura was asked by the head teacher to have a talk.Fortunately, in the middle schools in the Special Economic Zone, the teachers' ideas are relatively open.Not on the line about this kind of thing.But Sula's buddies didn't have a good look at Xinran.Xinran occasionally meets Su La on campus, he is quite cold. It's nice to know that you made an unforgivable mistake.Afterwards, she said to Tang Yanyan: "It seems that you are right. If I knew this would happen, I would never tell their adults. I thought I would tell my adults... It seems that this kind of thing really cannot be let them know." Can't you, after playing this, if you are willing to participate in an event, your mother must understand the cause and effect, what time it is and who you are with.And ask for confirmation as much as possible.It is also stipulated that students must be home before 5:30 after school.If there is a phone call, I have to interrogate him, which makes the male department afraid to call.When Xinran received letters from her classmates, her mother was always peeping furtively. Xinran couldn't take it anymore, so she threw the letter to her mother and said, "You should check it first. One night, because she was participating in a painting and calligraphy exhibition, Xinran came home late, and her mother immediately He asked warily, "What did you do?Is it with that boy..." His eyes were full of doubts and reprimands, Xin Ran was stunned, unable to say a word, and cried aggrievedly. The most irritating thing is that my mother often uses the content of that letter as a talking point, uses that incident as an excuse, and satirizes her by quoting the words in the letter.I am happy to think of the "Cultural Revolution" period, when people punished each other and pulled each other's pigtails. For Sura.Xinran is: one hundred and one apologies.Since then, every Christmas, Xin Ran sends cards to Sura.
