Youth Rebellion

Chapter 11 Publication of the School Newspaper's First Article

"Zhang Ruochen, don't be nervous. I asked you to come out and tell you something. That's it. I want to ask you, would you like to publish the article you wrote in the last exam?" Teacher Su asked sweetly.

Ruochen was at a loss, thinking: Of course it is good to be able to publish, the key is not that I publish it as soon as I say it, and it is not up to me to decide where to publish it.So Ruochen said: "Teacher, of course I am happy to be able to publish, but where to send it, I have no experience in submitting manuscripts!"

"Let me recommend you to our school newspaper. I am in charge of our school newspaper. In addition, I am also in charge of our school's Chunya literature design. I think your articles are well written. You should join the literature club." Teacher Su looked at Puzzled Ruochen said.

Ruochen is really the first time to hear that the literature club has something to do with her, and she can't believe it. He always thinks that only those who are talented in writing and poetry can be in the literature club. She just thinks that writing articles is just okay. I never felt that I could be counted as an onion.

So she said with little confidence: "Mr. Su, my articles are not very good. I'm afraid of losing your people when I go to the literature club!"

Teacher Su smiled like a silver bell, patted Ruochen and said, "I think your article is quite good. The description of the characters is very detailed, and the expression of emotion is also rich, which can arouse people's emotions."

Ruochen can't believe it, is this talking about himself?Didn’t you refer to any of your articles?Hearing Teacher Su's words suddenly gave her a lot of courage and confidence.

"Okay, Mr. Su, since you trust me so much, I will apply to join the literature club. In the future, I will earnestly learn from my brothers and sisters and strive to live up to your expectations." Ruochen said solemnly.

Teacher Su always has an irresistible power.

Ruochen returned to his seat and saw Han Xiaoshi, another boy in the class who was good at writing articles, talking to Mr. Su. He was good at prose and poetry, with beautiful words and sentences, while Ruochen was good at telling stories.

A week later, the new issue of the school newspaper came out, and there was indeed an article about my younger brother by Ruochen, and a poem by Han Xiaoshi.Ruochen was overjoyed to see it, this was his first article published publicly!I never imagined that one day I could see my own words turned into typefaces and appear in newspapers!

Although it is only a school newspaper, there are thousands of students in the entire Longdu Middle School and the junior high school. I just wanted to pat my deskmate to show her the article signed by her, but suddenly I felt that I was too happy, as if Not very well, and then she put away the split mouth on her face, but the smile in her heart had blossomed.

After a while, she heard her deskmate Liu Yuan say in surprise: "Ruochen, why is there an article whose author has the same name as yours?"

Ruochen smiled and wanted to tell him: "Idiot, this is me!"

But he said: "There are many people with the same name.",
The deskmate looked at it dubiously and said, "No, this article seems to be your Chinese composition for the last exam. I remember seeing it before."

Ruochen said in his heart, this fat Liu Yuan is really simple-minded, no wonder he likes the equally cute and simple Guo Xiang.

Because Liu Yuan is not tall and fat, Xian Qingwei gave him the nickname "Xiaogulu", but he was called away by everyone unexpectedly!
At that time, the students of Houjing did not miss any chance to nickname their classmates and teachers.

For example, Zhang Xiaofeng, who is a bit sissy, is nicknamed "Fifth Sister" because he is the fifth eldest in the dormitory.At first, he was only called in their dormitory, but later the whole class, both male and female, called him Wumei.

Even many years later, when Ruochen recalled his high school classmates, he only remembered their nicknames at that time, but he didn't remember their names very much.

Ruochen's nickname was "Ku'er" because a TV series "Women Are Not the Moon" was broadcasting at that time, and its theme was from nirvana to rebirth, from dullness to awakening.Maybe the students born in the 90s don’t understand, but those born in the 80s should know more. Zhao Mingming played the leading role, and the heroine she played was named "Kuu". Wang Jie felt that Ruochen resembled Zhao Mingming, so she nicknamed Ruochen "Kuu ", Ruochen felt that this was flattering her, thank goodness that she is as beautiful as Zhao Mingming.

At this time, Liu Yuan at the same table seemed to be enlightened suddenly, and said to Ruochen: "Oh, I see, this is you, this is your article!"

Ruochen said with a smile: "You just understand, it's a good thing you are still my deskmate."

At this moment, not only the same table, many students in the class are also saying that this is Ruochen's article, that is Han Xiaoshi's poem or something, Ruochen has not been so happy from the bottom of her heart for a long time, ever since the annoying math slipped down her head With the ranking going backwards, Ruochen felt more and more lack of confidence. Fortunately, the publication of this short essay also gave her a lot of confidence. At least it made her feel that she still has something to be proud of!

At this time, several friends in the circle came to congratulate her, and said with a smile, it turns out that Ruochen is hiding everything.Lin Yan said, "It seems that we will have a new star writer born in the future", all the girls were laughing and playing.

Ruochen said angrily: "You all go back, go back, I can't tell that you are here to congratulate, but it looks like you are messing around." He pushed them to the table.

Ruochen didn't talk much to other people, especially boys, and she also had prosopagnosia. Who.

At that time, although boys and girls were together when choosing seats, most of them were boys and girls at the same table, and girls and girls were at the same table. Although boys and girls talked after school, they were still not very open. The degree is related to the atmosphere of the school.

Not to mention others, Ruochen's mother is still relatively open-minded among the parents of her classmates, and she often said: "At school, you can have normal learning and communication with boys, and doing things with them is one thing, and the other is two, it doesn't matter. Don’t go out and chat with boys on the street, or others will say that you have a bad style.”

Look, this is the closed-off small-town thinking at that time, so that some boys confessed to Ruochen later, Ruochen was at a loss at first, then worried and scared, and didn't feel his heart beating faster, not because he didn't understand and hated others, but I dare not.Others like you as if you sinned first.

Sure enough, since then, more students in the class have greeted Ruochen.If Ruochen wanted to share this good mood with others, who would he share it with?At this time, she saw in the stationery box the contact information of the school that she asked Xueba Xiao J to ask for in class, so Ruochen thought, how is my old opponent now, write him a letter, so she went ahead and found Letter paper, in one go, sealed, delivered after school.

Then two days later, I waited for the reply with a little trepidation, and sometimes thought, maybe there was no reply at all, so people didn't care about me.

Unexpectedly, a week later, when Ruochen returned to her seat after lunch one day, she suddenly saw a letter lying on her desk, and the letter was clearly addressed as Little J's Study HY Middle School!Ruochen couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that he not only replied, but also replied so quickly!

There is also a very beautiful stamp on the envelope. Since then, Ruochen has also fallen in love with collecting stamps.

Ruochen carefully opened the envelope, took out two pieces of letter paper, opened them, and Junxiu's powerful handwriting rushed to his face. This handwriting was really much better than hers. Ruochen usually felt that his handwriting was not bad, but he didn't expect to be with her. He compared, what a frog in a well!

Xiao J said in the letter that he congratulated her on the publication of her composition. He did not expect to receive a letter from her. He felt very happy and surprised, because he did not have much friendship in the three years of junior high school, and he was also a boy who was not good at talking. It was the first time in his life that he received a letter from a girl. He hoped that in the future, he could exchange learning experiences, encourage each other, and make progress together.

Another thing he said in the letter is that his school will draw out the top three students in the class to form a top class, and he will be in this class next semester, so don't send letters to his current class. He probably won't be able to receive it, and he will notify Ruochen when there is a new class.

This incident touched Ruochen quite a bit. I think the two of them were evenly matched in junior high school, but now, they have advanced to a higher level, but Ruochen has retreated a level, so now, they are no longer on the same starting line. The self-confidence brought about by the publication of the article is about to disappear.

Ruochen still wrote a reply seriously, saying congratulations to him for being selected into the top class, seeing that Tsinghua University and Peking University are already beckoning to him, and will follow his example, the final exam is coming soon, so don't reply, we We must study hard and make progress every day.Added a sentence at the end, you have arrived in a new class, remember to write to me.

In short, the two people at that time were almost like pen pals, they didn't meet each other, they talked about studying in letters, nothing else.

Then came the tense final exam, and the selection of three good students. The certificates of the three good students have nothing to do with study, and should be the popularity award, because they are the top five voted by everyone.I didn't expect Ruochen to be among them, it should be thanks to the composition.

But after the results of the final exam came out, Ruochen's morale was greatly reduced, because he regressed to the ninth place in the class, almost fell out of the top ten, and his mathematics and physics were still not satisfactory.But, fortunately, there is a certificate of honor for a three-good student, so I can give my parents an explanation when I go back. Anyway, it is a certificate. How can I have the face to go back to celebrate the new year? Ruochen sat nervously on the bus home, I don't know how parents should react when they know the current grades...
