Stars warm firefly

Chapter 5: The First Day of Hustle (1)
Class placement notices were posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the teaching building. The students' names and college entrance examination scores were marked in black on a white background, which looked particularly eye-catching under the bright sun.

Xu Heyin stood on the steps in the shade of the teaching building, and from time to time glanced at the people who were watching the class placement announcements around the bulletin board.Naturally, her name was also on it, but because her grades were neither high nor low, she was ranked in the middle, unremarkable.This seems to be very similar to her usual performance, but it also has the advantage that she will not be paid special attention to by others, so she has the opportunity to enjoy a moment of tranquility outside the noisy crowd.

On the first day of school, there will be a short opening ceremony in the auditorium, and then return to the classroom for half a day.Xu Heyin originally planned to go home for lunch, but her mother was in a hurry to go out in the morning, saying that she still had some work to do, so she asked her to have a casual lunch in the school cafeteria before going back to the rented house for a lunch break.

The scene of eating and talking with her classmates was still vivid in her memory. Xu Heyin lowered her head sadly. She stared at the shadow under her feet that seemed to hang over her heart, and couldn't help feeling slightly uneasy about her future study and life.

Seeing those familiar scenes again, the tension and annoyance are self-evident.I don't want to do it all over again, but things backfire.

"Xu Heyin, you are here!"

The rare tranquility was broken.She heard the reputation and looked, and it was Zhou Jingyou, the daughter of her mother's friend Aunt Zhou, who was walking up the steps to her side step by step.

She and Xu Heyin used to be classmates in the same school but in different classes, and Aunt Zhou's father and her grandfather were workers in the same toy manufacturing factory. In addition, the two families originally lived in the same building, so they were even closer .However, ever since Xu Heyin had memories, she knew that Aunt Zhou would only do one thing to compare with her mother.

The comparison between women is always carried out in an atmosphere where silence is better than sound. Although it has not been made public, it is always undercurrent.However, it is necessary to take into account the face of each other's husbands as men and maintain their own image, so comparing children is the most common way. Either your daughter won the painting award, or my daughter won the recitation award.Although this kind of comparison often wins and loses, the experience of being judged by the adults around him still made Xu Heyin feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, which in turn caused Xu Heyin to have an inexplicable hostility towards Zhou Jingyou since childhood.

However, since entering middle school, Zhou Jingyou's grades have stabilized in the top three in his grade, while Xu Heyin hovered in the middle.This huge gap made Xu Heyin breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Zhou Jingyou was not the only one behind him, which made her feel a little relieved.

Not only that, Xu Heyin would occasionally tease Zhou Jingyou with other girls by making fun of Zhou Jingyou who studied so hard but didn't get the first place, but she was not annoyed, instead she seriously said that she would go back and sum up and strive for the first place in the next exam.

In fact, Zhou Jingyou is not ugly, with fair skin, soft hair, and a gentle and calm temper. If she doesn't look a little dull in those black-rimmed glasses, she should be regarded as a well-behaved and beautiful girl.She is still wearing the summer clothes of her previous school today, a light green short-sleeved shirt, and a dark green skirt. Her hair seems to be a little shorter than when she was in the college entrance examination, and her ponytail is slightly curled.

When registering for repeat schools, everyone will pay attention to two kinds of students, one is the students who should have done particularly well in the exam and should not appear on this occasion, and the other is the students who have poor test scores and dismiss the college entrance examination.

Now, Zhou Jingyou and Xu Heyin were standing on the steps, and some students around saw Zhou Jingyou and exclaimed and commented, because Zhou Jingyou was the former of the two high-profile candidates listed just now.

"Ah, Zhou Jingyou is also coming to repeat!"

"It's so strange, isn't she a famous 'seed player'? Why did she come to repeat the exam?"

Xu Heyin also heard everyone's discussion.She had heard from her mother earlier that Zhou Jingyou's application form only wrote one university application.Although her test scores were indeed good, she still couldn't reach the cut-off score for that volunteer, so she appeared here.

"Why don't you change to another school? It's a pity to repeat it for another year with your grades!"

When queuing up to enter the auditorium, Xu Heyin asked Zhou Jingyou in a low voice.Just thinking about spending another year under the influence of Zhou Jingyou, Xu Heyin felt a little depressed.

"My mother said that school is good, she likes it." Zhou Jingyou replied in a low voice.

Xu Heyin sighed deeply in his heart.She really felt a pity for Zhou Jingyou, if she got such a score in the test, she would probably be so excited that she would not be able to sleep for days and nights, and it would also bring great joy to the people around her!If that's the case, the differences between parents about renting a house now, and my worries about future study and life will not exist!

Although Xu Heyin's grades in her original school were not as outstanding as Zhou Jingyou's, and her personality was not as sharp-edged as Mo Feifei's, but she still wanted to get rid of her obscurity.It's just that she didn't have the courage to stand out from the crowd like Mo Feifei, nor did she have the willing obedience of Zhou Jingyou.Involuntarily, Xu Heyin felt restless.

"What about you?" Zhou Jingyou then asked Xu Heyin who was in a daze, "I heard from your mother that you just caught up with that one that day?"

Zhou Jingyou's catchphrases are "my mother said" and "your mother said". In fact, there was no sarcasm in her eyes, but she just wanted to prove more facts from Xu Heyin than what her mother said.

"It's not exactly like that." Xu Heyin looked away unnaturally.

"Don't be sad, just work harder this year! Besides the two of us, there are a few classmates from the original school who are also repeating here." Zhou Jingyou's comforting words were instantly drowned out by the sudden baritone voice.

"Wen Yiwen Er sits in the left half of the area, and Li Yi Li Er sits in the right half of the area." The teacher who maintained order on the auditorium stage shouted over and over again with a loudspeaker.Xu Heyin silently followed the students in front to the aisle beside the chairs, hearing the teacher holding the microphone "Hello, hello" in his ears.

sound test sound.She didn't say anything to Zhou Jingyou.In fact, what made her sad was not the reason why she didn't pass the exam, but because she just wanted to pass the exam that day.

A banner with white characters on a red background that read "Welcome New Students" was hung above the auditorium stage.Xu Heyin stared at it for a long time, and then thought with some regret that if he was admitted to a university, he should be standing on the university campus and looking at such a banner now, his mood must be like the fragrance of spring, the sunshine of summer, and the wind of autumn Be bright and cozy.

It's a pity that there is no if in life.

At the thought of having to work hard for the exam for another year, Xu Heyin's mood was as gloomy and heavy as the sky before snowfall in winter.

At the brief opening ceremony, the school leaders first introduced the school, and then senior teachers and student representatives made speeches successively.The teacher basically encourages the students with "failure is the mother of success". The student representative is a former student who got his wish and got admitted to the university this year through hard work in school.The experience of his one-year effort to get into the university he expected aroused different reactions from everyone. Some students showed envious expressions of "complete the task and be liberated" to the other party, and some people said "what is this, I will do better than him in the exam" with a resigned expression.

After the ceremony, the students returned to the classroom, and they seemed rather restrained at first.After the teacher asked everyone to introduce themselves, there were exclamations and even chuckles.Voices containing a string of information, such as everyone's name, the name of the high school they graduated from, and the school they want to apply for in the college entrance examination, echoed in the classroom.

There are dozens of people in Xu Heyin's second science class, most of them are boys, and there are only a dozen girls, including Zhou Jingyou.Here, those who have good grades but do not go to college and start over with a desperate attitude are nicknamed "great gods" by the students.Because Zhou Jingyou's college entrance examination results were among the top three in the repeat class, and she was considered one of the legendary "great gods", so when she introduced herself, there were naturally bursts of sighs along with applause.When Xu Heyin, who was in the middle, introduced himself, everyone lost their focus and started whispering.

"Hey, that boy's name is too familiar just now, so there are two classmates named this in my school!"

"Hey, you're in that high school. I have a good friend from junior high school who goes to school there. Do you know him? He's from Class [-], Senior [-]!"

"Did you do well in the English test? How much did you score in the comprehensive science?"

"Oh, I wish my language didn't hold me back."

"Yeah, I was too nervous. I lost sleep before the exam. When I got the paper the next day, my mind went blank!"

The common experience a few months ago was like a bond, and the distance between each other was suddenly shortened. Everyone began to communicate with their friends who were in the same trench.Of course, there are also people like Zhou Jingyou who are very good at their own studies, not a certain type or a certain major in a certain university, so they will inevitably become the object of discussion by others.

"Let me tell you, that girl is the first in our class in the college entrance examination!"

On Xu Heyin's right is a girl with short hair named Cheng Xin, and behind her sits a chubby boy named Gu Yi.The two were good friends before, and they chatted very enthusiastically, and Xu Heyin also heard a lot of news indirectly.Following Cheng Xin's gaze, she saw that No.1 was a thin girl, sitting in the first row, with Zhou Jingyou behind.Xu Heyin couldn't help sighing that Zhou Jingyou had a new target to catch up with.

"Oh my god, it's so hard to live. Her score is more than 100 points higher than mine!" Gu Yi, who was sitting in the back, said in a very sad tone, but with a smile on his face, "Oh, if I fail the exam this year, Come on, my dad still wants my life."

"What's the matter, have you seen the long-haired boy in the last row in the classroom?

It is said that he has passed the exam three times. It is really not easy! "Cheng Xin's exclamation got the boy's sympathetic approval. Xu Heyin couldn't help but look at the boy who looked indifferent, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what would he be like if he failed the exam three times? , but she quickly dispelled this somewhat nonsensical and dangerous idea.

Don't miss the exam this year!Otherwise, when I am admitted to a university thousands of miles away, my former classmates will almost graduate from the university and return to their hometown.Xu Heyin secretly warned himself.

After the theme class meeting, the teachers appeared one by one.All the teachers are explaining a truth: Since you choose to do it again, you must cherish your opportunity.

Xu Heyin fumbled with his textbook. He obviously put it down a few months ago, but now he felt a little strange, as if he was an old friend reunited after a long absence, and he felt a little excited in his heart.She looked around the entire classroom, it was clean and bright, and there was no ranking list posted on the wall, which was somewhat comforting.A line of words is written on the blackboard at the back: the sun always comes after the storm.

"Our first round of review is mainly based on laying the foundation, and various basic concepts, basic principles, and formulas need to be reorganized. If this review is not taken seriously, it will be more difficult to review special topics and apply comprehensive knowledge later, so everyone Pay special attention to it." Finally, the class teacher instructed everyone earnestly.

The class suddenly became very quiet, as if everyone was accumulating strength to cope with the arduous tasks of the next year.

I don't know if it was the teacher's words that helped or because they had the same setback experience. The students felt the pressure of studying in their hearts. Except for the necessary drinking water and going to the bathroom after class, everyone hardly had any extracurricular activities.

Xu Heyin is no exception.However, on the way back to the classroom from the water room with her water glass in hand, she happened to meet Mo Feifei who had just gone upstairs.Mo Feifei looked sleepy, and even with light makeup on, the dark circles and bags under the eyes were still clearly visible.

As soon as the college entrance examination ended, Mo Feifei was in a state of extreme excitement.Xu Heyin once heard from other girls in the former high school that they saw Mo Feifei at a bar party and in the auditorium of a concert.Needless to say, Mo Feifei must have insisted on going home after the party last night.

When passing by, Mo Feifei called Xu Heyin abruptly at the stairs: "Xu Heyin, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Mo Feifei enrolled in the art class of the art examination.Although today's class time is the same as her own, Mo Feifei has never paid much attention to culture classes.In the past, I was always late in my class, and sometimes I even missed half a day of class on the grounds of sketching practice.So Xu Heyin was not surprised at all that she showed a more lazy look under the class rules that did not record attendance.

Although they were not in the same class, Xu Heyin also knew that Mo Feifei didn't come to class this morning.

When she was going to the bathroom between classes, she heard two girls in the art class talking about Mo Feifei. According to them, the teacher asked an extra question during the roll call, "Why is this girl absent from class on the first day?"Since this week is a trial period, some students who don't want to stay or have other plans to go abroad or get a job will gradually stop coming to class, so everyone doesn't pay much attention to this phenomenon of absenteeism.

At this moment, Mo Feifei looked happy, not worried about missing classes at all.Xu Heyin didn't want to say hello to Mo Feifei, but was stopped by Mo Feifei.Xu Heyin stopped reluctantly, looked at her silently and waited for her to speak.

"You left the party too early last night, and Ying Yuan and his classmates learned how to sing and dance with little swans! It's so funny." Mo Feifei laughed, "You should really look at his strange appearance. "

"Why do you keep talking about him!" Xu Heyin muttered, and then he couldn't help but think of the time when his tablemate recovered from his leg injury, in order to thank Xu Heyin and Ying Yuan for their help, he once brought them two big boxes of chocolates.Knowing that Xu Heyin is allergic to almonds, Ying Yuan took the initiative to exchange the dark chocolate in his hand with Xu Heyin's almond sandwich chocolate. When the three of them were eating and chatting, Mo Feifei once joked that Ying Yuan was partial to Xu Heyin !Ying Yuan blushed and tried to defend herself, but in the end Xu Heyin's deskmate grabbed a handful of chocolates and stuffed them for Mo Feifei, and then gagged her.Since then, Xu Heyin has avoided Mo Feifei a little, for fear that she would make fun of herself again.

At this moment, Xu Heyin was dubious.She felt that Mo Feifei was deliberately angry with herself.Based on her understanding of Ying Yuan, he should not be such a playful person.

"You didn't come to class this morning!" Xu Heyin didn't want to talk about the things she didn't see, and quickly changed the subject, "Did you get up this morning?"

"Hey, I didn't expect you to care about me. Of course I had a good time last night, but I got up really early in the morning." Mo Feifei smiled mysteriously, "I'm going on a trip tomorrow, so I need to pack some things! Do you know who I'm going with, it's He Yingyuan!"

Xu Heyin was stunned: "Travel? Didn't he go to Xinmatai with his cousin during the summer vacation?

Besides, he will report to the university next Saturday, how can he have time? "

"You don't know, don't you know? The few of us have made an appointment. The registration trip will start early. We will play together for a few days before going to report. This is called the last graduation memory." Mo Feifei's eyes lit up, and he To sweep away the exhaustion from last night's carnival.

travel?That will delay a lot of homework!However, it is also an exciting thing to see a lot of distant scenery!Xu Heyin was a little envious, but didn't say anything more.

"It's a pity that you can't go." Mo Feifei pretended to be sorry and said, "But it's okay. When I come back, I will post the photos of the trip to the album on the Internet. You can go and see them."

"Then what about your class?" Xu Heyin asked.

"It's okay, it's only a week. I've taken the sick leave and personal leave together. There's still a year left, so why worry!" Mo Feifei waved away with a smile.

It turns out that what you care about, others don't necessarily care about.

Mo Feifei's parents are studying abroad, and she lives with her grandfather now.Her grandfather was a strong old man, but Mo Feifei described him behind his back as an old man with a weird temper.The old man was very strict on the surface, but if Mo Feifei messed up or made a mistake, there must be a compensatory gift after the punishment.In short, although he was taking care of her, the old man couldn't do what he wanted, and he couldn't hold back Mo Feifei's sweet talk, but in the end, the doting element accounted for the majority.

"Nonsense." This was her grandfather's catchphrase.

"You, I really can't do anything about you." This was also her grandfather's catchphrase.

It's the same now, Mo Feifei didn't come to repeat the study by himself.She originally wanted to do odd jobs and paint at the same time.It turned out that she was responsible for drawing illustrations for the school magazine, and she has gained many fans in the school over time.

"Nonsense." Grandpa heard that she gave up the college entrance examination and came to the school to discuss with the teacher. The classmates witnessed the old man losing his temper.

"If you want to learn painting, you can take the art school!" Grandpa persuaded earnestly.

"How can I pass the exam with my current cultural level!"

"It's a big deal to prepare for another year!" Grandpa finally compromised, "You, I really can't do anything about you."

So, Mo Feifei repeated the reading in this way.

However, Xu Heyin still thought that this was Mo Feifei's plan to delay the attack.She could neither choose to drop out of school nor be admitted to a prestigious university, so she had to make a compromise.This is exactly the same method that Xu Heyin himself used in the past.In this regard, the two girls with different personalities made a choice of a similar nature.

Ying Yuan is going on a trip, shouldn't he also send Ying Yuan a text message to say hello?After school at noon, Xu Heyin couldn't wait to contact Ying Yuan, but no one answered the phone.

Could it be that you haven't woken up yet?Thinking of the carnival last night and Mo Feifei's fatigue, Xu Heyin was annoyed at his stupidity, and would have to wait until the afternoon to ask!
Xu Heyin checked the time and planned to go to dinner first and then return to the rented house.But when she got to the restaurant, she realized that there were too many people waiting for the meal, especially many students who lived in the dormitory. They rushed over with their schoolbags after class.
