The bubbles of coke rushed into the throat, spreading bitterness in the stomach for no reason.
The night breeze slowly blew in through the screen window, and the wind chime made of bottle caps was still gently swaying.
It is already midsummer in July.
The green shade is dense and the fragrance of flowers fills your nose.
The college entrance examination scores came down a few days ago.
No matter how many points I got in the exam, the outcome was the same: I failed.
My first choice was the medical school where Meng Qin studied, and the rest were universities like Qingbei.
Because the admission score of the medical school that Meng Qin attended was higher than that of Qingbei, and I chose the major in Qingbei that was also the most difficult to get into. Anyway, I came here blindly and failed, so I got what I wanted.
What's frustrating is that the Five Thunder Palms still haven't come out.
Fortunately, the misfortune was not in vain. Yunyun and Mingming were in a state of ecstasy when they found out their scores.
The two of them came to me specifically to celebrate. I was in surprisingly good physical condition that day, and I didn't feel bad receiving the thanks.
I was very happy for them. Tang Mingming scored 520 points and could get into a very good undergraduate program. Jiang Yunyun scored 410 points and could also get into a private undergraduate program. In their opinion, they could get this degree.
I owe a lot to the score.
Jiang Yunyun also specially prepared a set of words, saying that it was me who allowed them to see the miracle of poor students.
It was also me who dragged my sick body onto the stage to participate in the aerobics competition, allowing them to see my indomitable fighting power.
My face turned red, I was so stiff that I didn’t dare to say a word, and I felt slightly absent-minded while listening to Jiang Yunyun’s final concluding remarks.
Jiang Yunyun said that she had crushes on many boys, but she never dared to think about which boy would fall in love with her, let alone take actual actions.
Just because she doesn't like herself, deep down, she also looks down on herself who is just messing around.
But through this exam, she saw her potential.
Even if she was born ordinary, she could not let herself down.
The college entrance examination score of more than 400 is actually not very practical.
But for her, it was already a qualitative leap.
She suddenly loved herself a little bit.
You won’t feel like you have no sparkle at all.
Even though she is not beautiful, she is not very smart, has a so-so personality, and her body is not very coordinated.
It seems that she was destined to be mediocre since she was born, but now she believes in a saying that the word "serious" is the most feared in the world.
Even though she is ordinary, when she is serious, she can burst out with unimaginable energy.
This time is her beginning. She will continue to prove to herself that even if she is just a little ant among all living beings, she can carve out her own world, instead of being a worm living and dying under the shadow of her elders.
.
She can also shine, even if it just illuminates her own path forward. She can prevent herself from getting lost or burdening her family. Every step she takes is an achievement that she never dared to imagine before.
I looked at her with a smile and didn't even notice the tears.
They knew in their hearts that what Yunyun and Mingming improved was not their scores, but their ambitions.
In the past few years in Beijing, I have witnessed the splendid prosperity of big cities, and I have also felt the tiredness and busyness of the world.
But at the same time, I also discovered the anxiety of people. The more eager they are to succeed, the harder it is to stay down-to-earth.
It seems that you can see the ceiling when you raise your head, but your feet are still in the basement.
How can you move up the ladder? People who are not as good as you can rise to the top by relying on their family background.
People who are more capable than you are terrifying and work harder than you.
This life seems to be restricted at every turn and attacked from both ends.
Simply leave your fighting spirit in the chicken soup, talk about struggle, invest your self-discipline in the future, and take it one day at a time.
In fact, just close your eyes and ask yourself, what can you do to be worthy of yourself and get your own approval?
As the saying goes, everything in the world is turbid, but only the original intention is clear.
The three of us talked a lot that day. Although I seemed to be standing still and not keeping up with my sisters-in-law, as Meng Qin said, I was taking a path that was contrary to common sense. Subconsciously, I recognized my own path.
choose.
A heart can hold many things and many truths.
But if you want to accomplish anything, you must put all your energy into it.
I choose to take the path of treading the road well.
Later in the conversation, Jiang Yunyun mentioned the head teacher again.
It is said that as soon as the results of the three of us came out, the head teacher was extremely excited.
She said that after so many years of teaching, I was the student she had witnessed who made the most rapid progress.
As for failure or failure, that is a story for another day.
Of course, Qu Yiran is the one who performs the most stably.
This sister-in-law’s score was more than twenty points higher than mine.
Although he did not enter Qingbei, he was admitted to the Double First-Class Normal University based on his strength and became Liu Xiaowen's junior sister.
These two couples will still be schoolmates in the future, and they have a lot in common.
As soon as I think about it, I feel that they should have two more children after they get married, because they have good genes.
To be honest, they all felt sorry for my failure. Even Gao Ling called me.
Out of sympathy, they were too embarrassed to ask me if I was crazy because I didn't have the diamonds to do any porcelain work.
Whoever fills out the application form carelessly, is it because you were ranked eighteenth in the class and don’t know your last name?
Frankly speaking, I did it on purpose, but I couldn't say this decision before the exam because it would affect the mentality of the sisters.
Now that I get this score, I can count as having handed over an answer sheet for my study career.
I am quite satisfied. If I had not come to Beijing and had been studying in my hometown for further studies, I would have scored between 500 and 600 percent in the college entrance examination.
We have never been a top student, and we have never been coveted by teachers. If we follow the crowd, we will not do poorly in the exam, and we have no chance of becoming a blockbuster.
Growing up, there were only two people who made me feel that I was special and valued.
One is Grandpa Cai. He gave me a lot of confidence and taught me many principles of life.
The other one is Master, he pushed me in front of others and gave me all the halo.
What I have to do is not let down their hard work.
Jiang Yunyun and Tang Mingming shed tears and cried again while chatting.
We finally got through the most difficult days. We thought we could enter college together, so why did we have to part ways.
I was also jealous and told them that we parted ways and that even if we entered college, we might not go to the same school.
Everyone has his own path to take. After graduating from high school, we are destined to go our separate ways, but our hearts are still connected. We have started the challenge mode and we must continue to cheer. The world is not far away and we are determined to meet each other.
The two of them cried and laughed that day. Looking back, they remembered that she was my sister-in-law. It was silly to think that the family should be separated.
"If you don't say that people are more deadly than others, you failed the exam with more than 600 points. Then Jiang Yunyun scored more than 400 points, and her nose was full of snot bubbles."
Qian An smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang was promoting from the beginning of the alley to the end of the alley. She thought Jiang Yunyun got the top score in the exam without knowing it. Aunt Zhang came here in the afternoon. She is going to hold a banquet for Jiang Yunyun to enter the university. She solemnly invites you to speak on the stage.
, saying that you are a great noble of Jiang Yunyun, but Mr. Dong refused on your behalf, and the brothers voted that Brother Hou should go to the banquet as the family representative, and he would be given a gift of one thousand, and it would be your account."
