growing up
A week later, Dou Xun obeyed the wishes of his teachers and parents and honestly packed up his admission ticket and walked into the examination room for this year's college entrance examination.
No. 6 Middle School is the college entrance examination center, and the entire school starts vacation half a day in advance. Aunt Du went into a psychotic state with full firepower, chattering like a heavy machine gun, and refused to eat anything cold or hot, even grandma's beloved dog
Doudou screamed twice and was beaten brutally.
The evening before the exam, Aunt Du went out of the house in a hurry and came back with a yellow paper charm. She asked Dou Xun to press it under the pillow, claiming that she had been in the temple for half an hour in the car.
Asked for.
Xu Xilin thought for a while and said in confusion: "I heard that it is also called the 'Matchmaker Temple', and people go there to seek marriage. Auntie, did you enter the wrong service window?"
Xu Xilin was also beaten because of his arrogance. The tool used to beat him was the same broomstick that was used to beat Doudou... and he was asked to stand at the door and recite "Amitabha" ten times.
Xu Xilin shook his head and recited "Amitabha" to the tune of "a big river". Dou Xun squatted on the stairs and looked at him and laughed. Xu Xilin accidentally noticed him, so he jumped up to start a fight.
Aunt Du came out and made a fuss and shouted: "Oh, don't make trouble, don't make trouble! Xiao Lin! Pay attention! Don't touch his hand!"
Dou Xun has an "inert itchy flesh". Like inert gases, chemical reactions can only occur under special extreme conditions - for example, Xu Xilin is the only one in the world who can itch.
Xu Xilin's body temperature is relatively high, especially in summer. It looks like a human-shaped stove. The two arms exposed under the short-sleeved T-shirt are like two stick-shaped hand warmers. The heat radiated from them can be felt from a long distance.
It penetrated Dou Xun's thin shirt invincibly and branded it on his waist.
Dou Xun huddled up with his face flushed, and ran upstairs while hiding. Xu Xilin took advantage of the weak and pursued him. The two of them stumbled all the way from downstairs to upstairs. Finally, Xu Xilin took Dou Xun to the ground.
Pressed on the sofa: "Are you still laughing?"
Dou Xun was rubbed by him until his hair was in a mess, and he was a little out of breath. He grabbed Xu Xilin's mischievous hand with difficulty, and his palms were sweaty.
Xu Xilin raised his legs and pressed on him. Suddenly he felt that this posture was very similar to some scenes in TV dramas, so he laughed carelessly: "Hey, little lady, no one will save you this time even if you scream, so just obey."
I will give you delicious food and drink from now on!"
Dou Xun: "..."
Xu Xilin and he looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly from Dou Xun's expression, he realized that the lines and posture were a bit awkward.
A week has passed since the accidental contact at Yuebanwan that day. Time has passed, enough for Xu Xilin to expose the matter, but obviously, Dou Xun cannot expose it, and the almost ambiguous embarrassment often happens to him regardless of the occasion.
Show your head.
However, Xu Xilin is very sensitive to other people's emotions and is easily affected. Once he feels that Dou Xun is uncomfortable, he will also feel awkward.
Dou Xun's face became redder and redder, and slowly, his fair face and neck merged into one, as if they were about to mature. Xu Xilin suddenly felt something, and jumped up from him as if stepping on a switch.
Dou Xun changed his sitting posture in a very embarrassed manner, raised his legs, and pulled a pillow in front of him to cover up, keeping his head down and not daring to look at anyone.
Xu Xilin blurted out: "Yes...I'm sorry, I...what I did...wasn't intentional."
Dou Xun was hunched over as if he had a stomachache, his chin poked on the pillow, and he held it in for a long time: "...it doesn't matter."
The two of them had a conversation that was like "an introduction to daily Chinese language" without being in a state of state. Each of them felt that he was a 250-year-old.
Dou Xun stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go back to the room and read."
He spoke so fast that people couldn't hear him. He turned into an afterimage and disappeared in a flash... Of course, he disappeared while holding a pillow.
At this time, Aunt Du caught up and started to talk about Tang Seng Dafa: "You little things are not serious when they make trouble. Dou Xun will take the college entrance examination tomorrow. What should you do if you damage his right hand... Hey,
Where are others?"
"He..." Xu Xilin paused for a moment in confusion and answered nonsensically, "Maybe he has a stomachache, right?"
"Ah?" Aunt Du was shocked, "Oh, look, does it matter? How many times have I told you not to drink ice water from the refrigerator, but you just don't listen... Sigh, I'm going to see if there are any medicines at home.
, Xiaolin, can you give him some Huoxiang Zhengqi water?"
Xu Xilin laughed twice and ran away while Aunt Du was unprepared.
"It's all Wu Tao's fault." Xu Xilin said in his heart.
Dou Xun was very unskilled in his business and spent his time in the bathroom of his small bedroom. After working hard and sweating on his forehead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a handful of cold water and washed his face, which was still flushed.
Dou Xun returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. His limbs were weak, but his spirit was a little unsteady and excited.
He took out the yellow paper charm that Aunt Du had asked for for him, held it in his hand and turned it over twice. He could vaguely smell the scent of incense coming from the paper. He heard that the temple where Aunt Du went to worship was also called the Matchmaker Temple -
-It’s quite interesting that these people don’t go to dating agencies to find partners, but go to Buddha as a matchmaker.
Dou Xun threw the paper talisman into the sky and caught it again. He didn't need blessings on the exam. If he failed, he would have to go back to school for his senior year. He could still hang out with Xu Xilin day and night for a year. This was exactly what he wanted. He wouldn't deliberately throw it at him.
If he passes the exam, he will go there. Anyway, his first choice has not left the city. When the time comes, he can come back and tutor Xu Xilin.
In short, it's just that, if you pass the exam, you'll be happier if you don't.
Looking at the entire No. 6 Middle School, there is probably no one who has a more peaceful attitude towards exams than him.
Dou Xun leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes for a while, letting his mind go blank and not thinking about anything. After a while, he laughed naturally.
There is no reason, just a silly smile.
He thought that this was the happiest year of his life.
In this way, although there were some twists and turns before the exam, Dou Xun performed very normally with an unusually calm mind, and was firmly selected as his first choice.
This summer, a huge flow of warm and humid air surged up from the southeast, and the hoarse chirping of cicadas almost caused a power outage. Some people who got rich first died in the air-conditioned room while others who had not yet got rich stretched out as much as possible.
Hold your tongue to prevent yourself from dying of heat on the road to equal wealth where your motherland's ambitions are unfulfilled.
Zhu Xiaocheng and Dou Junliang went through a dog-eat-dog fight to the death, and finally divided their family property into two and went their separate ways.
Zhu Xiaocheng's legal team had a slight advantage, not only peeling off a layer of Dou Junliang's skin, but also unexpectedly obtained a small bonus - the custody of his son.
Zhu Xiaocheng, who had just taken office, finally found time to come to Xu's house to pick up her son. Unexpectedly, her son had lived in Xu's house for a semester, learned Xu Jin's simplicity and rudeness, and gave Zhu Xiaocheng a two-way road in person.
"I don't lack a guardian, and I know you don't lack a son either. Don't worry, I will definitely not disturb you in reciting scriptures in the future." Dou Xun said, "I will go to college soon. If you provide me with the corresponding tuition and living expenses on a regular basis, I will
I will thank you very much. I promise to return this money to you at double the rate within five years after graduation - much higher than the bank's loan interest rate for the same period. I recommend you to consider it. In addition, if you need it in the future, I can be responsible for your retirement.
.If you don’t care about me, I don’t have any objection. I will apply for student loans and scholarships from the school myself, and we will owe nothing to each other in the future.”
In this way, this immature and sharp boy took his first step towards human society.
After Zhu Xiaocheng heard this, he dug up the rolling ground and cried loudly with Grandma Xu, as if he had seen a harbinger of the desolate future.
Although the old lady acted like a lady, she was actually a "monkey with a stick in her tail" character. She lovingly stroked her goddaughter's dog head, and pretended to be an old fool in a serious manner: "Oh, if you have any grievances, just talk to your godmother."
Talk about...well, but look, my godmother is getting older, and she will forget what she just said after a while, and she won’t be able to understand what happened after hearing it.”
Zhu Xiaocheng's trick of playing tricks failed, and she left the Xu family with no choice. Later, she may have figured it out, and except for giving Dou Xun money every month, she stopped showing up.
Dou Xun spent his longest summer vacation at Xu's house.
He did not use this long vacation to travel and relax as is popular nowadays, because Xu Xilin, a high school senior to be, could not hang out with him, so Dou Xun would rather stay at home and memorize vocabulary with Xu Xilin.
On the day the new student entered school, Aunt Du helped him pack his luggage. Xu Jin, a workaholic, took two hours off to go home and command: "Sister Du, there is no need to pack him a quilt or a pillow... Hey, those scrappy things are in their school."
We have them all, just buy a set there, boys don’t need to be so particular - just leave them at home, this kid will come back after military training."
Then she told Dou Xun: "If you have nothing to do on weekends, you can go home and stay. You can also give that kid extra lessons. Later, let him make a note and deduct the tuition fees from his pocket money according to the market price plus ten percent."
"
Xu Xilin, who suffered a terrible disaster, raised his head in shock: "What?"
Xu Jin: "Watch him study at least three hours a week. If he dares not to cooperate, tell me and I will double his pocket money."
Xu Xilin said sadly and angrily: "Mom, you tricked your son into not drafting!"
"Nonsense," Xu Jin glanced at him inexplicably, "Why do you need to make a draft to trick you? I'm not mentally retarded."
Xu Xilin: "..."
"No, I have to go back to the company," Xu Jin glanced at his watch and said to Xu Xilin, "I hired a car and was waiting downstairs. I've given you the money, so don't worry about it. Xiao Linzi, I'll go and see Teacher Dou off."
trip."
