() Tushan Mountain is one of the most important mountains. Looking across the river from the Wangtianmen Pier in the central area, it is surrounded by lush green mountains, forests, water plants, springs, waterfalls, gorges, Taoist temples, churches, wooden houses, villas and foreign-style houses. It has always been a popular place for local people.
Leisure and sightseeing spots.
Unlike Chongshan No. 5 Middle School, which is located not far from the center of Tushan Town and was founded by British missionaries at the end of the 18th century, Chongshan No. 7 Middle School is more than ten years younger than the Republic of China. In addition, the campus is located on the shores of Tushan Lake, some distance from the town, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant.
The air is quiet, making it a good place to read at ease.
Bah bah!
At this time, the calm was broken. Two cars collided at the school gate. Parents' cars coming to take the exam were blocked behind. Some of the drivers couldn't help honking their horns.
Seeing the school gate blocked, parents and students arriving by bus slowly passed by. Seeing these anxious candidates, they looked at me with a sense of schadenfreude.
Zhang Shufen looked at her watch anxiously. Although there was still an hour before the exam started, she still looked anxious. She kept looking out at the school gate not far away, mumbling what she was doing.
Lu Yang was not in a bad mood because of the blocked door. He comforted his mother a few words and rolled down the window to look interested.
At the tall and wide stone pillar school gate in front of us, for some unknown reason, the iron gate was only half-opened. Since you had to turn to the parking lot on one side to enter, the driver of a Santana may not be skilled enough and did not have enough turning distance, so he had to reverse the car again and then stopped.
The car hit the Toyota Camry behind.
The tall, thin, middle-aged driver of the Toyota Camry, who was in his forties, got out of the car and kept complaining about the middle-aged woman driving the Santana in front of him, but the other woman had a good attitude and kept complaining.
Lu Yang looked bored, and his eyes subconsciously turned to the parents and students walking into the No. 7 Middle School to take the exam. Looking at these "ordinary people" who had sweated a lot under the morning sun, he felt very sad.
In his previous life, Lu Yang just stayed at home after taking the college entrance examination. He didn't even know about the entrance examination of Chongxian Middle School, let alone try it out. Now, not only is he preparing to take the entrance examination of the top middle school in Chongshan, he can even pass it.
Gaining the envy and jealousy of others. This sense of alienation made Lu Yang's mood rise and fall inexplicably.
"Mom, I'll go in first. You park the car and go find me outside the examination room."
Lu Yang thought that there was no need to waste time here. He planned to walk in and take a look around first.
"Okay, son, if I can't find you later, I'll include you!"
Zhang Shufen waved her hand and felt glad that she was wise. After confirming the registration, she bought a Chinese pager for Lu Yang.
"Uh-huh."
Lu Yang waved, got out of the car and walked inside with a small stationery bag.
Just as we reached the school gate, the door of the Toyota Camry opened, and a fat man got out of the car with a depressed face and muttering, followed by a middle-aged woman who was also very wide.
"Daiyao'er, don't be angry, let's just walk a few steps."
The middle-aged woman comforted the little fat man repeatedly, then raised her head and shouted to the middle-aged man who was negotiating in front of her: "Lao Yang, let's go in first!"
"Go ahead, Yao'er is going to take the exam!"
The middle-aged man who was discussing compensation with the middle-aged female driver under the coordination of security at the school gate turned around with a naive smile on his sturdy face, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Lu Yang saw the little fat man's face clearly and felt a little confused. Coupled with the name "Dahai", he followed the little fat man and the middle-aged woman and began to retrieve the memories in his mind.
"Oh my god, this girl can't even drive a ball!"
The little fat man took two steps and turned his head to glare at the Santana car beside him.
At this time, the back seat door of Santana's car opened slightly, and a petite girl with glasses hanging on the bridge of her nose and a timid expression on her face happened to come out. When she heard this sentence, she was stunned and then turned red.
His face and little nose moved and moved, and he looked like he was about to cry.
The little fat man was wearing a denim suit and had the sloping back that is common in these days. He was originally very aggressive, but when he saw the girl with glasses, his expression was like an electric shock. He was stunned for a moment, and soon his face turned red and his mouth opened.
He caught Zhang and ran away.
"Da Da Yao'er! Da Da Yao'er! Run slower..."
The wide-bodied middle-aged woman who was still glaring at Santana with hatred suddenly shouted and hurriedly chased after her.
"Damn fat man!"
The girl with glasses was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth and uttered a curse word. Then her eyes crossed and she saw a handsome young man not far away staring at her thoughtfully.
"Mom...I...I'll go in first..."
The girl with glasses blushed, turned around quickly to greet her mother who was still explaining to the security guard, and hurriedly walked towards the school gate with her small schoolbag on her back.
Lu Yang stood still and smiled. He looked at this scene that had become familiar in his memory due to someone's legend, and he could only lament the impermanence of fate.
In his previous life, Lu Yang managed to get into the general undergraduate program and attended a local engineering university in Chongshan that was only a second-rate school.
However, what surprised Lu Yang was that there were also students from the seven top middle schools in Chongshan in the second-rate schools, and many of them even had scores that could get into key undergraduate programs in other places.
For example, the little fat man in front of him, if Lu Yang's memory is not confused, his real name should be Pang Panghai. Three years later, he became his classmate at the original university. With a score of more than 580 points, which was more than 100 points above the grade level,
I won a first-class scholarship in my first year, making a bunch of my buddies envious.
Pang Dahai, nicknamed Fatty Dahai, is also known as Brother Hai. It is said that he studied late and was ill for two years, so he graduated from high school at the age of twenty. However, some college classmates secretly speculated that Brother Hai must have failed the grade.
, maybe two more times.
In college, because he was two years older than his classmates, he seemed mature, and his grades in school were outstanding. Pang Panghai was very popular with the head teacher of Luyang University. He took over the power of class leader from the beginning, and was even recommended to join the party. He was very prosperous for a while.
Just don't look at Pang Dahai's usual careless appearance. In fact, this kid has a lot on his mind. The days of hanging around in college far exceed the study hours. In his senior year, he even became a member of the make-up exam party like Lu Yang.
, had to step down from the position of squad leader according to the rules.
Lu Yang initially didn't like Pang Pang Hai, who had a strong social atmosphere. He always found him uncomfortable with his careless appearance. Of course, another important reason was that Brother Hai was from Qiansheng District, but his family was very rich and he had been there since he was in elementary school.
After changing schools, as his father's business grew bigger and bigger, he spent a lot of money in high school to enter Chongshan No. 7 Middle School. At that time, of course he hated this kind of nouveau riche.
However, they took the make-up exam together in their senior year. Pang Pang had a generous personality and his family was rich. From time to time, he helped a group of buddies who ate instant noodles in order to squeeze out the make-up exam fee. Lu Yang was soft-spoken and changed his mind a lot about Brother Hai.
As for this girl with glasses, she should be Tao Xiaoya, the legendary girlfriend of Peking University in Panghai.
It is said that the two had been entangled in high school for three years, and Tao Xiaoya finally couldn't get over Pang Hai. Before the college entrance examination, she promised to be his girlfriend if they could enter the same university.
Pang Panghai was under pressure and obviously failed to achieve his goal. Somehow he ended up in Lu Yang's rubbish school. Tao Xiaoya was said to be a top student and was rumored to have gone to Beidu University.
However, Tao Xiaoya seems to have softened her tone later and still hinted that she is willing to be Dahai's girlfriend, but how many relationships can withstand the test of four years of long distance?
Especially the so-called love that was so fragile when we were young...
Rumor has it that Pang Dahai often saved money for four years of college and flew north on weekends to meet Tao Xiaoya, but the distance made him more and more desperate. Finally, his senior girlfriend had decided to go abroad, and he started to break the rules.
Lu Yang walked under the beautiful ginkgo tree of No. 7 Middle School, breathed in the fresh air of Tushan Lake, and recalled the past, adding a bit of immersive and complicated emotions to the twist of fate that he had just bumped into someone else.
Compared with most middle schools, the area of No. 7 Middle School is not small, and is about the same size as the campus of Lu Yang’s later second-rate university that lived in a prosperous urban area.
There was no Internet at this time, and it was impossible for Lu Yang to search for information before he came. At this time, walking on campus was a bit difficult to find.
Of course, Lu Yang didn't worry about getting lost. There were a lot of students coming to take the admissions exam, and the flow of people constantly pointed the way to the exam room.
Although No. 7 Middle School advocates European and American-style quality education, favors and relationships cannot be avoided in China. With economic development, more and more parents of students are able to choose schools.
Due to the demand of many parents for high-level education, the number of students in each class of No. 7 Middle School has exceeded 1,000. However, most of the places will be reserved for students who have graduated from their own junior high schools. The number of places for external enrollment is only a few dozen each year, but
With nearly a thousand candidates vying for it, the admission rate is lower than the college entrance examination admission rate for key undergraduate programs in recent years. The competition is not cruel.
There were not many students around the examination room with such relaxed expressions as Lu Yang. Most of the students and parents who were walking in a hurry had serious expressions, and many of them were still studying hard with their books.
Lu Yang leisurely wandered outside the examination room with his admission ticket in his hand. Many parents and students took this opportunity to go up and have a look at the examination room to find out the feng shui. He just looked at the classroom upstairs from a distance, and then looked at it with great interest.
to all around.
The students who dare to take the No. 7 Middle School examination are divided into three categories: the academically rich, the academically rich, and the academically dominant. Each relies on family background, money, and strength to gain the qualifications to enter the key middle schools. Naturally, they are different in terms of clothing and appearance.
Students who are luxuriously dressed and calm-looking are often the children of leaders with connections in their families. There are naturally various subjective and objective reasons for choosing to come to No. 7 Middle School to take the exam, but their escape route has already been arranged, and there is no need to worry about going to an ordinary middle school.
Students in plain clothes, most of whom wear glasses, are also surrounded by parents who are also in ordinary clothes and whose faces are more uneasy than expectant. They are often the top students in a certain middle school. Although they are not too worried about their grades, they are said to have been kicked out by imposters.
may always feel uneasy.
As for those who are well-dressed but have the same uneasy expressions as their parents, they are usually the children of businessmen whose families have become very wealthy. Although under normal circumstances, you can always get into a good school by spending a lot of money, but if your child's grades are too poor, that's a little bit of a problem.
No chance.
What a picture of all living beings in the examination room!
Lu Yang was filled with emotion again. He immediately carried his stationery bag and walked to a yellow jujube tree in the corner to adjust his breathing and mentality.
The temperature in Chongshan in July is already scary. Although it has been rainy recently, this sunny day is still enough to make people sweat like rain.
"Ouch, it's so hot. Let's start taking the exam now."
Pang Panghai couldn't bear it anymore and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Daiyao'er, don't be impatient. Take the exam carefully later."
My mother, Wu Meiying, quickly followed me, waving the fan in her hand.
"Mom, I want to drink Coca-Cola, iced!"
Pang Panghai walked to the shade of a yellow oak tree, turned around and made a natural request.
"Okay, Mom, go buy it. Dahai, don't run around."
Her son's exam was a big deal, so Wu Meiying didn't dare to say no to any request, so she quickly turned around and left.
Pang Panghai took the fan and shook it. When he turned around, he saw a young man under the shade of a tree not far away. He was wearing a pair of beige casual pants and a gray short-sleeved shirt. He looked quite girly. He curled his lips and turned back.
Looking towards the examination room, his eyes widened immediately, he put away his fan and rushed out.
