Chapter 23, Mi Jian
The next day is the first day of school.
It was a bit cold early in the morning, so the three of them ate a bowl of rice noodles outside the school. They even added chili pepper to keep them warm. They felt comfortable before starting to run around.
Yang Yongjian is different from the other two. She is a science student. Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling studied liberal arts.
Moreover, because Yang Yongjian ranked first in the school in every exam in the past three years, and he was from a particularly poor household, the school gave him special care, and he did not have to pay tuition or living expenses.
Every semester, she only needs to go to the Academic Affairs Office to get a note from the dean, and then go to the payment office and that's it. It's easy to steal chicken.
Speaking of this, there is an interlude in the middle.
Three years ago, according to the high school entrance examination scores, Yang Yongjian ranked first in the small county, Du Shuangling ranked 19th in the county, and Zhang Xuan was ranked outside the 50th place in the county.
At that time, due to Du Shuangling's good family conditions, her family started to think of letting her come to Shao No. 1 Middle School.
But they thought it was too far and were afraid that their daughter would be alone, so Du Dudong and his wife instigated Du Shuangling to call a group of people with good grades to accompany her to take the special admissions examination for migrant residents in Shao No. 1 Middle School.
Out of a group of 5 people, only three of them passed the exam.
In the special admissions examination, Yang Yongjian still ranked first, with scores far ahead.
Du Shuangling also did well in the exam.
Only Zhang Xuan's grades were almost above the line and he was not qualified to enter the key experimental class at all.
When the classes were divided, Yang Yongjian, who was highly valued by the school, tried to ask whether Zhang Xuan could be brought into the experimental class. But when her class teacher Chen Lei saw Zhang Xuan's score, she shook her head.
After being rejected, Du Shuangling saw that Zhang Xuan was in danger of being assigned to a regular class and that Zhang Xuan planned to return to the county No. 1 Middle School to study, so he took Du Dudong and his wife to find her own class teacher Wei Wei.
Wei Wei is a young female teacher who teaches English. Seeing that Du Dudong and his wife came in Santana angrily, they didn't refuse immediately. They gave the opportunity and then looked at Zhang Xuan's scores as well.
The difference is that Teacher Wei looks at scores from a different perspective.
Although Zhang Xuan's overall score was not good, the three subjects of language, mathematics and foreign language ranked third among the special admissions. Her eyes immediately lit up and she thought this was a huge potential stock.
However, Wei Wei was not in a hurry to make a decision. Instead, she took Zhang Xuan to the office and gave him an English test paper. She said she would accept him if he passed.
That summer, Zhang Xuan followed Yang Yongjian's learning method and previewed the Chinese and Mathematics subjects for the first year of high school to a certain extent in advance. He was very successful and scored 81 points in English, far exceeding the passing mark.
In this way, Zhang Xuan entered another experimental class as Du Shuangling's partner.
The subsequent story: There was no shame in being ridiculed for not keeping up with the progress of the experimental class, nor was there a special slap in the face where he suddenly became the first in the school.
Unwilling to be underestimated and unwilling to be the last in the experimental class, Zhang Xuan studied very hard, and his grades in the first year of high school were always among the top 30 in the school. At his best, he performed exceptionally well and entered the top ten, winning the first place. 8 people.
After the division of subjects, Zhang Xuan has always been in the top ten in liberal arts. Although he has not entered the top five, he has not fallen out of the top ten.
Simply, it's skinnier than a skinny dog, it's so steady that it makes people tremble.
Leave the rice noodle shop, cross the road and enter the school.
Zhang Xuan said to Yang Yongjian: "Then you go to the Academic Affairs Office to find the director first. Although it is troublesome for us, we are in company after all."
Yang Yongjian glanced at the two of them, nodded and said, "Okay. It's only eight o'clock now. It's still early. You should pay your tuition fees and get your books while there are few people."
Du Shuangling answered: "Okay, then let's go."
The three of them separated. Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuan first went to their classroom on the third floor to report to the class teacher Wei Wei and get the registration form.
The head teacher in a red leather jacket was sitting at the door of the classroom, eating breakfast in a white porcelain bowl. The food was good, including meat, loach, and cabbage.
Seeing the two people arriving, Wei Wei tapped the registration book with her chopsticks: "Sign your name."
Du Shuangling glanced through the roster and asked in surprise: "Teacher, Mi Jian and Lilith are already here?"
Wei Wei adjusted her glasses and said, "They have just left, and you are here behind. Now go to the finance office to pay. Maybe you will meet them again."
Hearing this, Du Shuangling immediately signed her own name, then raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Xuan. Halfway through handing the pen over, she suddenly took it back and refused to give it to him. She signed for him without hesitation.
Wei Wei couldn't help but laugh at this, and her eyes couldn't help but wander around the two of them several times.
Zhang Xuan looked aggrieved and said: "Old class, you have to remember my face, I'm here to report."
Wei Wei waved her chopsticks and joked: "Hurry up, I'm an eyesore to you two."
When I got the report sheet and rushed to the finance office, there were only more than a dozen people paying fees at the three windows. I glanced at them and didn't find Mi Jian or Lilith.
The two of them were waiting in line. Du Shuangling in front suddenly looked back and asked: "I haven't seen Mi Jian for a long time. I miss her a little. Do you miss her?"
"Comrade Du Shuangling, please be a good person, please don't set a trap for me, and don't always make a fuss about me blushing in the past, okay?"
Zhang Xuan stretched and said nonchalantly: "Besides, why am I wasting my time thinking about her? She is not my wife."
Hearing this, Du Shuangling looked at him with a smile: "Yongjian is right, you are a bit arrogant now."
Zhang Xuan was speechless, and whispered softly: "Don't listen to her, she just thinks she is too earthy and envies me for being cool."
Looking at the man so close, Du Shuangling felt the heat in her ears. She still smiled, but lowered her head, pursed her lips and stopped talking. Her face was so hot that she didn't know where to put it.
There were not many people, and within ten minutes, the two of them handed over the money.
Zhang Xuan took the charge sheet and dried it in the sun, and sighed: "After studying for so many years, this is the fastest time I have paid tuition. There are advantages to coming to school early. It's cool! Yang Yongjian may not have it yet. We're fast."
Du Shuanglingyan agreed with a smile and gave him a hand: "There are few people here, let's go and get the books as well."
"let's go."
Just leave.
Surprisingly, the two of them bumped into Mi Jian and Lilith at the publishing office this time, and Mi Jian's parents were also accompanying them.
Mi Jian, who had a blue temperament and was dressed in plain white, was waiting there quietly. When he saw the two people approaching, a nice smile appeared on his calm face.
Zhang Xuan watched this woman quietly, feeling that meeting her once in his life was like a good year in a desolate landscape or an oasis in the desert, like a gift from heaven.
No wonder when I was a freshman in high school, I would blush when talking to others in private. Looking back now, it’s understandable.
If he hadn't been reborn, if he were to talk to Mi Jian alone now, Zhang Xuan would still have a lot of things he couldn't let go of.
ps: To explain, there are many characters in these two chapters.
To summarize: there are 6 people in the high school small group, and there are two teachers, Wei Wei and Chen Lei.
These characters are very important, and some even appear throughout the entire book, so March is introduced all at once. After all, this is a public chapter.
I hope I didn't confuse everyone. If you are confused, it's March's fault because your writing skills are not strong enough.
Also, when you see extreme parts, don’t jump to conclusions for each character. Please read slowly...
