i was my mistake

"Well, if you work hard, you should be able to pass the exam."

Wan Qing picked up the last two grains of rice in the bowl and put them into her mouth: "Do you study medicine to cure diseases and save lives?"

Zhao Jinyu blinked and shook his head slowly: "No."

"Is that for making money? After all, doctors are needed at any time, so it's not easy to be eliminated." Ye Chen analyzed from a rational point of view.

"No, I just want to challenge myself because I find it difficult."

"What a casual answer..."

"I'm serious."

"Is this how you decide on a major life event?" Ye Chen scratched his head, "If you have a choice, you should think about it more? It's better to choose a major you like."

"Challenging is what I like."

Wan Qing smiled and sighed, she thought, maybe only such a person can truly live and learn, and reach a high enough height.

Ordinary people study with other purposes, so it is easy to stop at a certain place.

She is different, she is completely running for happiness.

Perhaps for a person like her, there is no difference between studying and playing games.

Everyone waited until father had finished dinner and sat back on the sofa, then began to pack up the dishes, put all the cold dishes together, and put them in the refrigerator...

Although the house is messy, it is cleaned every day, so it is fairly clean.

Wan Qing originally wanted to sit cross-legged, but Ye Chen took out an extra sheet she bought last time and spread it on the floor.

There is a feeling of having a picnic indoors.

Zhao Jinyu took out the mooncake that was packed in an exquisite gift box. The packaging alone was layer upon layer, but the mooncake itself was not very big.

"There are also knives and forks, so advanced..." Ye Chen looked like a country bumpkin, and Wan Qing couldn't help curling her lips.

For her, this kind of so-called high-end packaged moon cakes has long been commonplace.

She opened the mooncake box, carefully cut it into eight pieces with a plastic knife, then poked a fork on it, and placed it on the coffee table in front of her father.

"Dad, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat mooncakes."

Her tone was very flat, even a little indifferent, but what she said was a little concerned.

Father raised his head slightly, looked at her a few more times, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly like an old man, forked a piece of mooncake, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Two muddy tears flowed down his face that had been expressionless for a long time.

Ye Chen, who was still happily wanting to enjoy the moon, also looked stagnant.

In fact, it has not been long since my mother passed away, but I tried my best to forget those sorrows, but when it comes to such a festive season, it is inevitable to think of the old man.

He bit his lip and said with a forced smile: "When my mother was here, the Mid-Autumn Festival would take out the briquette oven and put it on the corridor, and then set up an iron net on it to bake the mooncakes she made. Although they are also crispy, they are full of meat, especially when they are freshly baked... I remember at most one time, I ate six or seven in one go."

Zhao Jinyu quietly and slowly chewed the bean paste mooncake in her mouth. She knew that Ye Chen's mother had passed away, and his father had suffered a huge blow because of this.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, and their family is destined to be unable to reunite.

because there will always be one less...

"Yeah, I remember that once you used briquettes as toys and broke them all over the floor, which made it impossible to make baked mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I had to go outside to buy them, and my dad even whipped you with a belt. "

"……what?"

"Ok?"

"I haven't done it."

"How is it possible, you don't remember it yourself? In fact, it didn't take long, it was in the sixth grade."

"No, when I was in the sixth grade, my mother made some mooncakes filled with dried plums, vegetables and braised meat."

"...Did you remember it wrong?" Wan Qing frowned, but in her memory, there was no memory of mooncakes filled with dried plums and vegetables and braised meat.

My mother has always made the most common fresh meat mooncakes.

The memory of the two seems to have deviated.

The expression on Ye Chen's face was also very serious, it didn't look like he was joking.

Thinking about it, Wan Qing slowly raised her head and looked at the huge full moon, even the shadows on it could be clearly seen.

The stars dotted around it, guarding it together.

Today's moon is indeed beautiful.

only……

Is this round of the moon too close?

……

56. Big Leap

The autumn holiday of 1996 was particularly pleasant.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just ended, and the National Day will soon be ushered in.

——The only one who attended class was the day of NO.30.

As soon as she arrived early in the morning, Wan Qing saw two more report cards on the wall next to the blackboard. It seemed that the glue hadn't completely dried off.

Apparently it was posted not too long ago.

This is the first monthly exam, which is used to test the real grades of the students after entering the learning state.

If you don’t do well in the exam now, you still have a chance to make up for it. Grasp the weak parts and study hard, but after another half a year, your grades will not change too much.

Especially those with a poor foundation, who didn't study hard in the first half of the year, and even less likely to work hard in the second half of the year.

Ye Chen was more active than her, and was the first to rush over, looking for his name quickly.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen, Ye Chen—I found it!" Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked back nervously.

Each score corresponds to a subject, and each subject has a class rank and a school rank, while the total score and overall rank are at the bottom.

This series of numbers makes people dizzy, but judging from the size of the numbers, it doesn't seem too bad.

"I'm stupid! I got 68 in the math test!" Ye Chen's eyes widened, "This is my best grade in high school!"

Wan Qing knew how many points this kid had in previous exams - most of the time it was only twenty or thirty. If the subject was difficult and he didn't get it right, it was possible to score more than ten points in the exam.

He quickly reported his scores. Although the scores were not too high, he looked very excited: "95 in Chinese, 72 in English, 38 in physics, 43 in biology, 31 in chemistry... The total score is 340! Seventh in the class! My grass !"

Although Class [-] was the worst class, Ye Chen's entrance exam was the ninth from the bottom of the class.

Such a huge improvement can be said to be a huge leap.

This score can already be admitted to many colleges, but Wan Qing still poured cold water on him: "This is our school's own exam. Let's talk about the city's unified exam when it is, and that will be closer to the difficulty of the college entrance examination."

"Cough...!" Ye Chen clenched his fists, "But I already feel hope!"

"Thanks to my English tutoring for half a month during the summer vacation, tsk, English is really good..." Wan Qing smacked her lips.

"Ah...that's true, the English you taught is easier to understand than the teacher's in class."

"After all, it is my own experience. As another me, it is not surprising that it is easy to understand."

"How about your grades?"

"Hmm...look." Wan Qing searched for her name a little unskillfully, but this time it was very fast, because her name was just a few rows above.

"Fuck me, you passed the [-]th in the English test?" Although Ye Chen knew that Wan Qing's self-taught English is very good in the future, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"Hmph." Wan Qing was a little proud, "This is the power of the old pervert."

"what?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain to you." She rolled her eyes, "And as I said, the English is very simple this time, after all, it's the school's own test paper, and the next unified test probably won't get such a high score. "

"If you put the test paper of one hundred and two in junior high school, it will be full marks, although even this is very strong..."

However, compared to Wan Qing's English score, her math was not as good as Ye Chen's, and she only got 51 points in the test.

As for other subjects, the two are pretty much the same, but Wan Qing's biology is better, probably because she will have more exposure to various information in the future, and among many scientific knowledge, biology is relatively the easiest to be familiar with and remembered by the public .

After all, biology in high school is relatively simple, and most of it is memorized knowledge, which requires relatively little logical thinking.

However, because of her high scores in English, Wan Qing's total score reached [-] points—exactly [-] points.

In the past, I always saw people saying on the Internet that after mastering the method, high school content is easy to learn, especially those with poor grades, they can make a lot of progress casually.

At that time, she still thought that Versailles was a talented person, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Of course, it may also be that the learning methods and problem-solving ideas taught by Zhao Jinyu are too easy to use.

——What she often said is that when encountering a problem, first speculate on the thinking of the person who made the question, and figure out why he asked this question, so that he can avoid the trap and find the real solution to the problem.

To use a very popular term in the future, compared with ordinary learning methods, this method is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction.

It's just that the two of them haven't figured it out yet, they just use it clumsily and reluctantly.

But it's only been a month.

Two full semesters is still a long time!

What people fear most is not being in the dark, but being unable to see hope.

Now seeing the rewards of her hard work, Wan Qing is filled with hope for the future and motivation to move forward.

"Ah, the English you learned by yourself in the future will come in handy now." Ye Chen looked at her total score enviously.

It turned out to be No.1 in the class.

Although it is Class [-], a class filled with a lot of poor students.

But looking at the overall ranking of the whole year, it's not too bad.

There are more than two hundred people, she can be ranked in the top one hundred.

"If you work hard, it's possible to get into a bachelor's degree, right?"

"It's not far away...the undergraduate degree is about [-] points." Wan Qing still vaguely remembers the score line of the college entrance examination back then. Although the score line was extremely low compared to the later college entrance examination, it was still the same for her back then. An insurmountable gap.

"There's more than half a year left!"

"Well, you can try it, and you should work hard, don't catch up with me."

"Cut, it's just relying on English to score points. When I learn other subjects, I will definitely surpass you!"

"Heh." Wan Qing put an arm on his shoulder, "Boy, are you crazy? Then I'll see who has the higher total score then."

"Morning!" Jiang Xing walked into the classroom with breakfast in hand. He came so early mainly to copy homework, otherwise he would definitely choose to sleep at home for a while before going out, "What are you looking at?"

"The monthly exam results are out." Ye Chen proudly patted the report card, "I am seventh in the class!"

"Fuck, it's real or not, you kid, don't lie."

"Look for yourself!" Ye Chen pointed to the line with his name written on it, and couldn't help shaking his legs.

"Ye Chen... Fuck, we agreed to fall together, but you secretly improved! Damn, the whole class is seventh, the whole school... more than 140, it's fine."

Jiang Xing searched for his name: "Uh... um... I'm okay too, just happens to be No. 30."

"Isn't that the tenth from the bottom?"

"Just make do with it... Uh, it's fine if I can go to a technical school. If it doesn't work, I'll learn to drive and become a truck driver!"

In this era, truck drivers can be regarded as technical talents, and people don't think there is anything wrong with being a truck driver.

After all, the salary is high, and they are needed everywhere, although it is a bit tiring--most people in this era are not tired.

Moreover, in this era of driving license test, you have to learn car maintenance, at least you can be good at simple repairs that are commonly used.

It is also common for trucks to break down halfway, unlike in the future, as long as it is not in those few autonomous regions with sparsely populated areas, almost no matter where it is, a tow truck can be called with just one phone call.

Or just call someone to bring tools and repair on site.

"Well... being a truck driver is really good... It just so happens that you have a pickup truck at home."

"Yes, inherit my father's job."

Wan Qing smiled, looked at this best friend whom she used to be extremely familiar with but now still felt unfamiliar, and didn't say much.
