Youth Rebellion

Chapter 7 Shuffle
The intense monthly exam ended on Friday, and then the school gave me a big break, with two days off on Saturday and Sunday.At that time, we didn't have weekends every week. We only studied one week and had two days off every two weeks.When I was in the third year of high school, I only took a double break once a month.

On the bus home, Ruochen unexpectedly ran into Xiao J, a classmate of the previous three years in junior high school.

Ruochen has been calling him Xueba behind his back since then, and calling him by his name doesn't seem to be able to express Ruochen's admiration for him at that time and his later crush on him for "Ruoshui is three thousand, I only take a scoop to drink", of course he Ruochen didn't know it was her until later.

The reason why Ye Liang hasn't been mentioned until now is because Ye Liang and Ruochen's lives hadn't intersected at that time.

Little J is different. He and Ruochen are classmates for three years in junior high school. They are called classmates, and they are more vividly called competitors.

Because of the three years of junior high school, one or two of them took turns to sit on the bank.Ruochen's advantage is English and Chinese, and his advantage is mathematics. Of course, Chinese is not bad, but English is the second point.

At that time, the teacher engaged in competition against the two of them, which was a natural group, and you started the three years of catching up, which was really the driving force for each to learn and progress.

Later, the best friend asked Ruochen, if you are like this, there must be a story.

Ruochen shrugged: "I can only say that I disappointed you, really no, not only no stories, but almost no topics other than study were discussed."

In junior high school, boys and girls were still relatively feudal in the era of "men and women don't give and receive each other".

Except for studies or special circumstances, boys and girls generally don't talk casually, unless they are in a town, street or neighbors who have known each other since childhood, or have close relatives, otherwise they will be rumored to be "scandalous". At that time, if two If the boys and girls say a few words alone a few times, there may be scandals. If the teachers and parents find out about this, it will be a big deal, and they may even be expelled from school!

Today's middle school students may not understand the state at that time, and borrowed a slogan to express their envy for you now, "You have caught up with the good era of reform."

But at that time, Ruochen didn't have that kind of thought. He only thought about studying, and went home to play with his friends during the holidays. He was really a late bloomer.So much so that they have graduated from the third year of junior high school, and the communication between the two of them is limited to study. Although they have been at the front and back desks for a long time, I only remember that he and Ruochen's deskmate had a little joke.

Ruochen's deskmate is a beautiful and lovely girl, one year younger than Ruochen, and she was only 11 years old when she was in the first grade of junior high school. Once, she was punished by the teacher to stand up and ask questions. At that time, the students thought they were spitting to express their dissatisfaction with the teacher. After asking her, they found out that it was she who lost her last big deciduous tooth!
The buddies laughed and said, "Little friend, you haven't had all your teeth replaced yet?!" So Ruochen remembered her cute little deskmate who had not yet had all her deciduous teeth replaced.

Ruochen and Xiao J are from the same town, so they took the same bus back home.

Later, Ruochen went to school by bicycle, and never met Xiao J on the bus again.

Surprisingly, the two of them met on the bus and asked each other about the school class. It turned out that Xiao J went to another high school that was better. All of them transferred to that school with admiration and trust.

After some pleasantries, they didn't talk much along the way. Ruochen was embarrassed to chat with him all the time, while Xiao J was a boy who talked less. Ruochen got off the car first at the stop, and then waved off Xiao J.

At that time, Ruochen didn't know what kind of changes this meeting would bring to her in the future.

On the third day after returning to school after the weekend, the test papers have been handed out one after another, and the total score will not be announced until Friday.

The total score ranking is divided into small ranking and big ranking. The small ranking is within the whole class, and the big ranking is the whole higher one.

Most of the high schools at that time were like this. It is said that public rankings are not allowed now. It must be some joy and some worries.

The joy is for the students who are at the bottom, their self-esteem can finally not be thrown on the ground casually, or even stepped on by others; what is not happy is that for those students with stronger grades and personalities, they have no way to show their self-esteem. Achievement.

Ruochen usually only looked at the top ten when looking at the report card. Of course, she also looked at the top twenty later, because she was no longer seen in the top ten. This is another story.

The moment Ruochen saw her name, his heart sank.This time No.5, at least half of the top ten names are not from the names when they first came.

Not only did Ruochen fail to surpass the two she was secretly competing with, but she also fell behind by two.At this time, she remembered what the class teacher said on the first day of school, our grades and rankings will be reshuffled in the future!However, Ruochen is not depressed, not to admit defeat is her motto, she often said that the word admit defeat is not in my dictionary.

Look around and look at the transcripts, how many smiles and sighs, the smiles must be progress, and those who sigh are shuffled.

For some unknown purpose, the class teacher wrote out the top 20 students by name in a brush and pasted them on the wall to the left of the blackboard, so that everyone could see the so-called honor roll.It is estimated that it is to motivate the latter and pressure the front.

Now that the grades are out, the next step is to fulfill what the head teacher said at the beginning, to arrange the seats.Everyone gathered outside the classroom, and the head teacher stood at the door and called everyone by order, and went in to pick a seat at will.

Li Guojie, who is still No.1, sits in the first row in the middle, close to the teacher's desk. It can be seen that he is studying with all his heart. He is closest to the teacher and is minimally disturbed by others.Ruochen still chose her original position, behind Li Guojie, and felt that this place was still kind, and she was quite nostalgic.

After 10 minutes everyone has their new positions.Behind Ruochen is Lin Yan, across the aisle to the left is Dai Chunhua, at the same table is a fat boy, Ruochen doesn't know his name yet.

Fortunately, Lin Yan was behind her, now she has someone to chat with, and her relationship with Lin Yan has been quite good recently.Because the direction of Aunt Ruochen's house is the same as that of Lin Yan's house, they will wait for each other when they go back now.

During the few days when the tables were lined up, the atmosphere in the class was extremely serious. Every night, I could see the students busy with their homework seriously.Those at the bottom of the honor roll want to squeeze to the top, while those at the top dare not relax for fear of being squeezed out.The tense learning atmosphere has been like this for several months.

One night during self-study, the handsome math teacher called Ruochen to her office and said that he had something to look for her.

"What's the matter? It's definitely not a good thing. I don't want my math grades to drop..." Ruochen muttered to himself as he walked, no matter what the reason was, he had to bite the bullet and walk into the office.
