Although I am tired of hearing this, I still have to say it - time flies, time flies.

In a blink of an eye, junior high school life is coming to an end.

As soon as May entered, the whole school was filled with invisible gunpowder.

Before the poster of "Labor is the most glorious" has not been removed, advertisements for various remedial classes, advanced classes, sprint classes... have been posted all over the bulletin boards. Junior high school students, especially junior high school students, are not worthy of the May Day holiday. The words "Countdown to Senior High School Entrance Examination" clearly remind the children that the train for compulsory education is coming to a stop, so don't even think about fishing in troubled waters. Learn it quickly, if you don't learn it, you won't learn it.

Under such a tense main tone, there are no more boys and girls shaking at random on the campus, the classrooms are full, all quality development courses are stopped except for physical education, to make way for the seven major subjects, mock exams become the norm, during the day Exams, review the papers at night, and consolidate the set while the lectures are hot, day after day, week after week, the compact arrangement of the assembly line almost makes people lose the concept of time passing, until they are pulled to the playground and pinned on their backs Number plate, put a timer in your pocket, and from the corner of your eye, you can see disgusting green cushions basking in the sun against the wall, only to realize, oh, it's already the end of May, and there's only half a month left before the senior high school entrance examination up.

——Ah, time flies so fast, I'm so "sweet" panicked now!

The physical education entrance examination is something that scares many well-behaved babies and good students. How many people who have stood out from the crowd in the sea of ​​books and questions faced the green mat of the horizontal bar on the runway, one by one silent, and the two were fighting each other, and finally couldn't bear it. Stop shedding sad tears. At the same time, the "stabheads" who are helpless in the sea of ​​test papers are at ease at this time, pull-ups, standing long jump, fixed-point shooting, standard rope skipping, even the most daunting 1,000 meters. Take it down, and even have the strength to send a few embarrassed looks to the Brain Key generals who were left behind.

Of course, not all academic masters are sports wastes, and there are guys who are both physically and mentally strong. Such people are affectionately called "monsters" by the students.

In Qingshi County No. 2 Middle School, Qian Erbai is such a "monster".

The plastic runway under the scorching sun was slightly scorching feet, and the heat wave was faintly visible in the air. The girls huddled together and stood at the finish line. Their faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. Their small hands were clenched into fists, and their eyes were fixed on the runway. The two figures on it.

It's about to turn around, someone speeds up, both of them speed up, faster and faster, closer and closer—huh! call! Two gusts of wind swept past, the cheers exploded like hot oil splashed into cold water, bouncing and bouncing, clapping and clapping, they surrounded the two people who had just crossed the finish line, and even the person in charge of recording the results The invigilator couldn't help showing a congratulatory smile. If it weren't for the sporadic running figures appearing in his field of vision, he would have almost forgotten that this is actually an exam where a pass means a full score, rather than a person who has to be assigned a test. Sports meeting competitions with successive rankings.

At this time, the students who had just run over also crossed the finish line. The invigilator pressed the timer and nodded with satisfaction. Looking at these shining teenagers with loving eyes, he thought to himself: It's nice to be young and full of vitality. Immediately afterwards, he saw the large troops advancing at a uniform speed in a square formation behind him, nodded, and thought to himself: well-regulated, unity is strength. In the end, he set his sights on the disheveled strolling group at the end, three or four meters away from the main force, shook his head, and sighed again: It is still necessary to strengthen exercise, and the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor is the key. reason.

The leading vanguard is roughly composed of thorns and sports students from each class, and most of them are members of Class 21. Among them are Qian Erbai, Zhou Xing and others. name. Because he is too "hateful".

Zhou Xing frowned and complained all over his face: "Master Bai, you are too mean, you have already beaten the school's top students in your studies, and you have made enough limelight, why do you still have to come with me to grab this little boy?" How about number one in the physical test?"

Qian Erbai wiped his sweat with the sleeve of his school uniform, looked sideways at Zhou Xing, and said, "Hey, I also want to keep a low profile, but unfortunately my strength doesn't allow it." After finishing speaking, he put the clothes on his shoulders without waiting for Zhou Xing's reaction , Put down the sentence "How lonely invincibility is" and left.

Looking at the back, there is a feeling of loneliness and defeat.

Zhou Xing was speechless: "..." It's really amazing, I love it.

The physical education entrance examination is only the prelude to the high school entrance examination. After passing this hurdle, there will be more violent storms waiting behind. Although everyone was tortured to death by the physical test, but the next day, everyone was resurrected with full blood and devoted themselves to the final sprint review, especially the students who did not perform well yesterday. Practice your skills hard, vowing to avenge your shame on the future battlefield.

In comparison, yesterday's group of frontrunners who had been beaten like chicken blood were a little slack at the moment.

Zhou Xing leaned on the table and looked at his deskmate.

His tablemate Qian Erbai is making a set of difficult papers from the old class. There are less than ten students in this class, and these few people have been among the top five in the class for more than two years. The top ten outstanding students are the favorites of the teachers of various subjects sitting in the first three rows. In the past, Zhou Xing had always been far away from these good boys, and the Chu River and the Han border were clearly separated. But now, his brother, Qian Erbai, has obviously become one of them, and Zhou Xing's mood is a bit complicated.

Speaking of the rise of Qian Erbai, it is really a thrilling story.

Half a year ago, this dark horse was still a school bully who loved to fight. He fought with the seniors in the school, with the bad boys outside the school, and with the idlers in the society. In class, the influential figure was downgraded to become an "unknown" ordinary school bully, but so far, his poor student personality is still unbreakable. Unexpectedly, since he returned to campus in the second half of last year, this character setting suddenly collapsed. It was as if he had suddenly opened up the second vein of Ren and Du, and his academic performance improved by leaps and bounds. From the end of the crane, he entered the top 50 in the grade in a straight line, and until now he has steadily maintained the terrifying level of the top ten in the school.

Not only that, he also "washed his hands and started a new life". Not only did he stop fighting, but he also restrained his brothers to study together. Although their academic performance may not have improved much, at least they stopped causing trouble. Li Qiaofeng, the old class, was very pleased with this, and even praised these children at the parent meeting.

Although Zhou Xing was dissatisfied with Li Qiaofeng's use of "the prodigal son turned back" to describe them, which young boy doesn't like to be praised. So it was a good time after that. However, maybe learning this kind of thing really requires talent, and he was born without this skill point. After finishing at the bottom of the two consecutive preliminary examinations, and no matter how hard he tried, his grades were always stagnant, Zhou Xing finally accepted the reality that "I may not be good at studying".

There is a bit of reluctance, but more of a sigh of relief. "It's not this material, so don't force yourself." With this thought in mind, Zhou Xing quickly adjusted himself, and lived happily ever after.

Comparing the two, Zhou Xing admired himself even more when he was a child—he was good at fighting, playing games, studying well, and being able to do everything well, there was no one who couldn't, he really deserved to be someone else's child.

At this time, Qian Erbai just finished a paper, and was about to turn to the last page to check the answer.

Zhou Xing was shocked by the inhuman speed of doing the questions, clicked his tongue, and called out his brother's attention: "Hey, Master Bai, what do you want to do in the future?"

Qian Erbai's subordinates paused, thought for a while, and gave a vague answer: "I haven't thought about it, let's be a useful person to society."

Zhou Xing was very dissatisfied: "It's too perfunctory, and moving bricks is also Building socialism, what aspect are you talking about that is useful to society?"

"..." Qian Erbai didn't have an answer, but instead kicked the ball back to Zhou Xing, "What about you, what plans do you have for the future?

" It was Zhou Xing's turn to be silent.

The future, for a teenager in the 14th or 15th year, seems to be a very distant thing.

But it's actually not that far off. The senior high school entrance examination is a watershed. A 50% pass rate is enough to make at least half of the children face the reality and be forced to start thinking about life—whether to continue studying in general high school, or transfer to a vocational high school to learn a technology, or simply invest in it. The society began to play the career of a worker?

It is difficult to make a choice, and whether the chosen answer is correct may not be revealed until the last moment of life.

Seeing Zhou Xing, who was always optimistic and heartless, showing a confused and tangled expression for the first time, Qian Erbai felt puzzled and at the same time felt that he might be poking at his brother's difficulties, and was about to say something Come to enlighten the other party, Zhou Xing changed his face in a second, and grinningly plucked the short hair on his head (it turned out that the red hair was dyed back to black by Li Qiaofeng on the grounds of "affecting Qian Erbai's study"), Pretend to be sad and said: "I have no future, I can't study well, and I don't want to work, so I can only work hard to help my grandparents collect the rent and ask for two pocket money to make ends meet."

Qian Er Bai: ...Ah, what a "fan".

Sure enough, we can't judge Zhou Xing with normal people's thinking, this guy's nerves probably lead directly to the Pacific Ocean, melancholy? Melancholy? nonexistent.

Despite reluctance, the senior high school entrance examination came.

At the last second before stepping into the examination room, I can't wait to take a look at the knowledge points again. On the way to the examination room, I am still reading the text silently, but when I sit in the examination room, my mind suddenly goes blank. After that, it seems that I have been pressed the fast forward button——Suddenly, the sound of The bell rang, and the papers were taken away suddenly, and suddenly walked out of the examination room, and suddenly finished taking graduation photos, and suddenly stood in an empty classroom, with the words "gathering is a ball of fire, scattering is full of stars" written on the blackboard , I wish the group students of class 21 of the third grade of junior high school success and a bright future!" The message, "Outside the long pavilion, by the side of the ancient road, the grass is not in the sky" seems to be echoing in my ears, but I can't see it when I look back. a figure.

Time seems to have stopped, but time is passing by mercilessly.

"Student, remember to close the door when you leave." The doorman uncle passed by patrolling the building, and it was not surprising to see Qian Erbai standing in the middle of the classroom in a daze. Every year during the graduation season, people come here to gamble and grieve, bid farewell, and have seen people who are so emotional that they hug the legs of the table and cry. The uncle guard said that these are emotional children, they should be respected and let them be alone with their memories.

Qian Erbai didn't know what the uncle of the doorman had come up with, but that voice completely brought him back to reality. At this moment, he had a sense of reality with his feet on the ground, and realized that he had already graduated, and the meaning of life Three forked roads were also placed in front of him.

What are you going to do next?

If it was before, and he was still the school bully with a mess of grades, he would definitely say without thinking: "You mess with the society." After all, whether it's watching the scene or fighting for territory, he has experience. The master is getting old, and his mobility is not as good as before after he injured his leg. He never dares to let the master set up a fortune-telling stall alone, let alone rush to pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits.

But it is different now. Since his academic performance came up, he has become the key caretaker of the head teacher Li Qiaofeng. Contact information, saying, "If you have any difficulties or anything you can't make up your mind about, you can discuss it together." In short, it is a sentence: "Qian Erbai is a good seedling, and he must continue to study, go to high school, and go to college. " The old man nodded repeatedly, wishing he could put Qian Erbai in high school on the spot.

Not only that, even Li Yunqi is very concerned about Qian Erbai's future. On the one hand, Qian Erbai has a dark history of "entering the palace several times". On the one hand, he also watched Qian Erbai grow up since he was a child. As an elder, he also hoped that this child would have a bright future.

Therefore, Li Yunqi used local materials to persuade Qian Erbai to learn from the three parties, and gave Qian Erbai a legal education with the tragic situation of several newly arrested "social elder brothers" who were severely punched by the law and cried bitterly and repented. class, and Qian Erbai's own deliberation, the option of "mixing the society" has been completely abolished.

The old Taoist had high hopes for Qian Erbai, and wanted him to become a college student and make a name for himself. But Qian Erbai didn't have much idea about "getting ahead". He just wanted to make money to support his family as soon as possible, so that the old man could retire completely and take care of himself for the rest of his life.

But I didn't dare to let the old Taoist know about this idea, otherwise the old man would definitely blow his beard and stare, scolding him as "good for nothing", while raising his crutches and dragging the broken leg that has not been healed, limping Chase him all over the yard.

"Hey, he has such a temper at an old age. If he really gets enlightened, he will probably be a god of firecrackers." Qian Erbai shook his head and slandered, while thinking about buying some bitter gourd, lettuce and so on later to clean up the old man's anger. to eat.

He came out of the vegetable market and was wandering around, when someone shouted from behind: "Catch the thief!" Before Qian Erbai could react, he ran over by himself, and seemed to think that Qian Erbai was in the way, and pushed him hard. Qian Erbai was unprepared, he was pushed and staggered, but he didn't fall, and the box of eggs he was holding fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Originally walking well, but encountered such an innocent disaster, Qian Erbai suddenly got angry from his chest, and ran towards the man in front, taking out potatoes from the plastic bag to smash them while chasing, cursing bitterly : "I told you to push me, you stop and pay me the eggs!"

Qian Erbai's aim was quite good, the potatoes thrown out seemed to have eyes, and they fell on the opponent's head one by one. The thief gave this a blow to the head With another blow, his eyes were dazed, garlic was mixed under his feet, and he fell to the ground with a sound of "ouch".

A passing enthusiastic crowd helped hold down the thief who was trying to get up on the ground. Qian Erbai ran forward two steps quickly, grabbed the thief's collar and asked him to pay for the eggs. For the potatoes that were broken into several pieces, he added potato money.

The thief struggled and cursed: "What are you paying for? Who are you? Let me tell you, get out of here quickly, or be careful and I'll make you look good!"

The man who just shouted "Catch the thief" also chased after him out of breath. , is a long-legged beauty in a suit and short skirt, with a pair of high-heeled sandals in her hands. Seeing the thief's arrogant attitude, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face regardless of what she was carrying.

The thief scratched his face with the buckle of the sandal, and let out a scream of "ah--", looking at the girl with resentment and fear in his eyes.

Qian Erbai was also taken aback by the girl's actions, this young lady was too hot-tempered, she did it without saying a word, if he hadn't dodged quickly just now, he would have been accidentally injured.

The man's face was full of color, his expression was ugly, he stared at the girl fiercely and cursed: "Are you sick? Take medicine if you are sick, don't bite people here like a mad dog!"

The girl was furious when she heard the words, but she didn't make a sound, raising her hand was a violent output. Originally, Qian Erbai was still holding on to the man's collar, seeing this scene of indiscriminate attacks, he quickly let go and jumped aside. The crowd of onlookers also took a few steps back tacitly. No one dared to fight, and they were all afraid of being hurt innocent.

At first the man covered his head to hide, shouting "It's almost done, don't overdo it", the woman didn't listen at all, she even smashed and kicked, and greeted the head, face and bottom three ways, and finally the man was beaten out of the truth Huo, yelling "You will not be polite if you hit me again" and started to fight back. The two of you pulled my hair, I poked your eyes, fell down and still rolled on the ground, as if the other party was your mortal enemy.

There were more and more people watching the excitement, one by one stood still and was reluctant to leave, and some even took out their mobile phones to record. Finally, a well-meaning person called the police, and a siren blew, and the nearby patrol team rushed over on motorcycles first.

The police acted quickly to disperse the crowd, separated the two parties involved in the fight, and asked why. But the two parties
