Huanxi borrowed a public phone from a small supermarket near the examination room to call Sister Mei's mobile phone and told her situation. Sister Mei became anxious and asked Huanxi to take the exam first in the afternoon. He rushed there immediately, and finally told her that Qian
Don't go to Hui Yucai Middle School, those people are unreliable.
Without Sister Mei's explanation, Huanxi would not have gone back to school. If it hadn't been for thunder and rain in the morning, if he hadn't risked his life to break the window, if he hadn't encountered that farm vehicle, the college entrance examination would have been cancelled.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, candidates entered the room one after another. Huanxi's mood had stabilized. The mathematics test paper was difficult and the questions were tricky and weird. All the candidates looked troubled. Many people were still thinking hard until the moment they handed in the paper.
The end-of-examination bell rang. Huanxi stood up and suddenly felt dizzy. His vision turned black and he fainted. The invigilator immediately reported to the supervisor. Everyone was busy carrying the candidates to a cool place. The doctor on duty came to check. There was nothing serious.
No, it's just low blood sugar.
Huanxi was very strong and struggled to get up. She did not tell the teacher that she only drank a few mouthfuls of rainwater a day. Low blood sugar was just a symptom. In fact, she fainted in the examination room because she was hungry.
A teacher scolded: "Where are your parents? They are so irresponsible. Children who take the college entrance examination cannot keep up with nutrition."
Huanxi didn't explain anything and left silently. She left the examination room and had nowhere to go. The city where it had rained was full of water. Watching the candidates get into private cars or taxis one by one and leave, she felt a little bitter.
There is also a touch of envy.
It started to rain again. Huanxi stood at the door of a small supermarket to take shelter from the rain. The lady boss saw that the rain was splashing on her body as she stood at the door, so she asked her to come in and stand. She also saw that Huanxi had no shoes on her feet, so she took them.
He gave her a pair of plastic slippers, and Huanxi thanked her and accepted the kindness.
After waiting for a while, Sister Mei hadn't arrived yet, but another person arrived. Her younger brother Huansha came over from a distance holding an umbrella and carrying a schoolbag. Huanxi hurriedly came out to call his younger brother. Huansha ran over in surprise: "
Sister, I was worried that I couldn’t find you.”
"Why are you here? Don't study hard at school." Huanxi scolded.
Huansha smiled shyly and said, "I'll just come and take a look."
Huanxi couldn't bear to criticize his younger brother. He lived alone in school when he was only sixteen years old. He was looked down upon and bullied because of his poor family. He had to bear too many grievances at a young age. He had been there and knew that the environment in Pingchuan No. 1 Middle School was difficult for poor students.
How difficult.
Huansha took out a plastic lunch box from his schoolbag, which contained rice and roasted pork with potatoes.
"I got an extra meal in the school cafeteria at noon. Sister, you can eat it." Huansha pushed the lunch box in front of her sister.
The proprietress of the small supermarket came over and asked curiously why your parents weren't here. Huanxi said that both parents were sick and their family lived in a remote area and couldn't live here. The proprietress said oh and said there weren't many customers at the moment, your sister.
The two brothers are sitting here and helping me look at the store for a while.
Of course Huanxi is willing to take shelter from the rain in his store, so he naturally has to help.
The proprietress entered the warehouse, and soon the sound of cooking could be heard, and the aroma of food filled the air. The two siblings shrugged their noses in unison. Suddenly, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old walked into the supermarket and picked up a bottle of Coke.
Unscrew and drink.
"Hey, you can't drink without money." Huansha is very dedicated to his duties.
The boy looked at him with strange eyes and shouted: "Mom."
The proprietress came out wearing an apron and holding a pot and spatula, "My son is back, come in and serve the food. Don't be idle, you two, help set up the table. Let's eat together."
The Huanxi siblings looked at each other, then came to their senses, and cheerfully helped set up the round table, and brought out the dishes from the small kitchen next to the warehouse at the back. The boy filled four bowls of rice, and the landlady took a few cans of drinks and opened them to Huanxi.
Sister Xi put it in front of her: "You're welcome, eat."
Four dishes and one soup were all simple home-cooked dishes, but they made Huanxi's eyes red.
"What's wrong, girl?" the landlady asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I haven't eaten the food cooked by my mother for a long time." Huanxi whispered.
"Now for the college entrance examination, don't think too much. Just concentrate on the exam to repay your parents. Come on, let's have a toast." The boss's wife raised the Coke bottle.
The four of them had dinner in the small supermarket. From time to time, people would come to buy things, and the proprietress would go and greet them. During the meal, the three children started chatting. It turned out that the proprietress's son was also a student of Pingchuan No. 1 Middle School. He was in the third grade of junior high school this year.
When it’s time to take the high school entrance examination, my first choice is of course the high school department of my school.
Huansha was a dormitory student and couldn't stay outside for too long. After eating, he reluctantly left at the urging of his sister. As soon as his brother left, Huanxi felt lonely. The landlady was very generous and said she would stay in the store first since she had no place to go.
, just get a camp bed, it’s convenient to be so close to the examination room.
As he was talking, the phone rang. It was the public phone in the store. The landlady went over to answer it. It turned out that it was Sister Mei who called back according to the caller ID. She was on her way there, but the long-distance bus had a flat tire and rolled over halfway.
Most of the people were injured, and Sister Mei also suffered fractures and was admitted to the hospital. She couldn't make it there for the time being.
The landlady was very enthusiastic and said that I would cover the child's food and lodging for the next few days. I would not care about anything else and just concentrate on the exam.
Sister Mei thanked her profusely and promised to double the payment in the future. The landlady said you're welcome and she would wait until the exam is over.
Huanxi stayed in the store that night and got up early the next morning to help clean the house. The landlady grabbed the rag and said, "You go read a book. It's not your turn to work." Huanxi said that he didn't bring a book and there was no need to do it again.
Look, the exam tests the accumulation of knowledge, not the rote memorization.
"Listen and learn from your sister." The landlady said to her son.
The next day's exam went well, and it didn't rain anymore. After the exam, Huanxi returned to the small supermarket to help cook and look after the store. This made the landlady feel very sorry. In fact, Huanxi understood that it was not other people's help, but he was afraid that he would have to do it.
Living on the street.
After the exam in the afternoon, Huansha came to visit her sister again and discussed the college entrance examination questions. Huanxi thought of Sister Mei and called her to express condolences. Sister Mei said that I was fine and would be discharged from the hospital in two days. Ni'er, please don't
Distracted.
On the third day, everything was as usual. Huanxi traveled lightly, finished the last exam, borrowed 100 yuan from the proprietress for travel expenses, and rushed over to visit Sister Mei.
Sister Mei had a cast on her leg and she looked good. Because she was thinking about Xiao Yaner, she didn't dare to stay in the hospital. After seeing Huanxi, they went back to Omi together. The days were the same as before. There was not much difference, except that Huanxi
When I am not busy, I will pay attention to the day when the college entrance examination results are released.
Time passed day by day, and finally at the end of the month, the college entrance examination results could be checked online. Huanxi turned on the computer, entered the admission ticket number, lightly pressed Enter, and then closed his eyes, not daring to look again.
In the first year of high school, the class teacher told all the freshmen in class that the college entrance examination is the only way for you to change your destiny, and it is also the only fair channel for advancement in the current society. If you want to get ahead and make a career, just study hard.
.
These words still echo in Huanxi's ears, but she studies hard not to get ahead, but to treat her parents' illnesses, no longer suffer poverty, no longer starve, and no longer struggle at the bottom of society for a living.
This belief is the driving force for Huanxi's progress, which is far more tenacious and unremitting than simply studying for the sake of development.
Huanxi finally slowly opened his eyes, and the screen showed that his total score was 721 points.
She felt a palpitation in her heart. The total score of Jiangdong Province's science college entrance examination was 750 points. She scored 721 points, which can be described as unbelievable. She was absolutely number one in the province, no doubt!
She didn't believe her eyes, so she entered it again with trembling hands to check. The total score was still 721.
Although she knew she had done well in the exam this time, she did not expect to get such a high score. Huanxi stood up excitedly and went to find Sister Mei to report the good news.
Sister Mei had a cast on her leg and was sitting on the bed playing with Xiao Yan'er. When she saw Huan Xi coming in with tears streaming down her face, she quickly said, "Nier, what's wrong?"
"Sister, the scores are out." Huanxi choked and said.
Sister Mei's heart sank: "Nier, did you fail the test again? It's okay. We will still be popular and popular even if we don't go to college. I'll teach you a few tricks and I'll keep your lead in the future..."
"Sister, I didn't fail the test, seven hundred and twenty-one!" Huanxi interrupted her.
"What? How much is seven hundred?" Sister Mei was stunned.
"Seven hundred and twenty-one!"
"Ah! What's the full score?" Sister Mei had no idea about the college entrance examination results.
"Full score is seven hundred and five."
"My dear mother!" Sister Mei patted her forehead, "The full score is 750, and your test score is 721. What a high score this is. I'm afraid you can get into Beiqing University sideways, right?
"
"The score line of Beiqing University is just over 600..." Before Huanxi finished speaking, Sister Mei had already gone to the ground on crutches and pulled out a box from under the bed. Inside was a hanging earth red hanging with five thousand rings.
"Come on, let's set off the firecrackers. I've prepared them for you." Sister Mei was full of pride. She came to the door of the shampoo room with a cane and held firecrackers. She spread them on the ground, lit a cigarette, and used the cigarette butts to light the firecrackers. Five
Thousands of earth red crackles exploded, and the smoke cleared. All acquaintances on Tiezha Street came to ask, Sister Mei, what are you doing? Going to bed or marrying a wife.
Sister Mei proudly said: "Nie'er has been admitted to college. Setting off firecrackers is nothing. I also have to serve wine and prepare two tables in the Beef Village. I won't go home until I'm drunk."
In the house, Huanxi called Liu Handong using Sister Mei's cell phone to tell him the good news.
"Brother, the results are out. I passed 721."
"Such a high price!" Liu Handong was obviously shocked, "Congratulations, I have time to go there. So, you don't have to worry about the tuition. I'll cover it for your brother!"
"Thank you, brother." After Huanxi made this call, he called the small supermarket in front of Pingchuan No. 2 Middle School to inform the proprietress of his results.
The landlady was very happy and asked Huanxi what university he could go to with this score.
"Probably the top three scores in the province. You can basically get into any university." Huanxi explained that there are people outside the mountains, and she is still not sure that she has the highest score in the province.
That night, Jiangdong News reported on the release of this year's college entrance examination results. A group of old ladies and little girls in the shampoo room sat in front of the TV and stared eagerly.
The host said that this year's provincial college entrance examination champion has been born, a girl from Pingchuan, with a total science score of 721 points, one point higher than Wen Xue, the college entrance examination champion of Jiangbei No. 1 Middle School a few years ago. However, according to reports
This year's college entrance examination questions are very difficult, and it is not easy to achieve this score.
"Our reporter will go to Pingchuan for interviews, please stay tuned." The host started talking about other social news, and the hair washing room was filled with joy.
"A golden phoenix has also flown out of our store." Sister Mei said with emotion.
"Huanxi, when you get rich in the future, don't forget your sister Mei." Xiaoya said with a smile.
Huanxi suddenly burst into tears, and then burst into tears, unable to persuade him to stop.
"What's wrong, you're still crying after doing so well in the exam?" Xiaoli cracked the melon seeds and blinked in confusion.
Sister Mei waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go. Ni'er has suffered too much and is too tense. Let her cry for a while and let her vent."
