Meng Yan's Transformation

The next day, Zhan Mengyan calmed down and went to school as usual. The results of the monthly exam came out. A big red paper was posted on the school bulletin board, which showed the results of the students who took the monthly exam. Zhan Mengyan ranked third in the school. She was one point behind the first place and 0.5 points behind the second place. Yang Debao ranked 30th, which was ten places lower than the original monthly exam.

Zhan Mengyan and Yang Debao met unexpectedly in front of the bulletin board for the ranking list. Zhan Mengyan looked at Yang Debao guiltily, and Yang Debao looked at Zhan Mengyan ashamedly. When their eyes met, both of them deliberately avoided each other. Neither of them spoke, and they went back to the classroom.

Zhang Deren really did what Zhan Zi'an promised and did not cause any more trouble for Zhan Mengyan. Zhan Mengyan was feeling uneasy, but she slowly calmed down and immersed herself in the intense review period for the high school entrance examination.

Time flies, and the years are like quicksand, slipping silently through your fingers, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the high school entrance examination.

Most of the candidates from Xinxing Middle School had to take the exam at Yanhuagou Middle School, which was 50 miles away from Xinxing Middle School.

Most candidates and their parents started looking for relatives and friends to send their children to villages near the examination site one day in advance to facilitate the examination the next day. Some candidates could not find relatives or friends near the examination site, so they could only go there on bicycles or hand tractors that morning.

Zhan Mengyan was carried by Zhan Yu on a bicycle to a friend's relative's house one day in advance. There were five people in the family, two elderly people, an old son, an old daughter-in-law and a little boy about six or seven years old. The grandfather and grandmother of this family were very kind, and their surname was Li. According to the elderly, Li Lili, the daughter of the eldest son of the elderly, was a classmate of Zhan Mengyan in the first grade of junior high school. This made Zhan Mengyan, who felt restrained in unfamiliar environments, feel very cordial.

Grandpa Li looked at Zhan Mengyan with a smile and said, "Little Mengyan, don't be restrained. If my granddaughter Li Lili hadn't dropped out of school, she would have come with you today and stayed at her uncle and aunt's house. I would have treated you as my own granddaughter. Our house is very close to Yanjiagou Middle School, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk there. We will have dinner early in a while. After dinner, let your aunt take you to the examination room to get familiar with the environment. Every year during the high school entrance examination, children from relatives and friends will stay at our house. I heard that they all have good test scores. Our house is a Feng Shui treasure land. May the children get good grades in the exam."

"Every year my father brags to the candidates who come to my house that he lives in a Feng Shui treasured land. I hope it's true and that his grandson will also be able to get good grades in the high school entrance examination when he grows up?" said the old man's daughter-in-law with a smile.

"Mom, I'm grown up now. Can I take the exam with Sister Mengyan tomorrow?" the little boy continued his mother's words.

Everyone was amused by the little boy's childish words.

Zhan Yu gave the two elderly people some instructions and then rode his bicycle back home.

After Zhan Mengyan had dinner, Aunt Li took her and the little boy for a walk to Yanhuagou Middle School.

On the roadside, the grass is green, and the barley flowers are ripe, blooming one after another. The flowers are connected and connected without interruption, smiling at each other, lively and cheerful. A main trunk is graceful and elegant, without vines or branches. From the middle of the trunk, flowers grow and bloom all the way, like sesame flowers blooming. The branches are densely covered with flowers, most of which are as big as bowls, single petals, double petals, and they grow back to each other and bloom freely. The red ones are like fire, passionate and passionate; the white ones are like snow, elegant and beautiful; the pink ones are like clouds, romantic and charming; the purple ones are like brocade, elegant and generous. Flowers bloom and sing all the way, and the beautiful green poles lift up curtains of beautiful green gauze curtains, with thousands of flowers on the curtains. A grand flower event is in full swing, extending all the way to the gate of Yanjiagou Middle School.

Aunt Li led Zhan Mengyan to the examination room according to the number on her admission ticket. The doors and windows of the classroom were closed, so they only looked outside the cordon and returned the same way. It was already sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun, without the heat and lingering warmth of the noon, gently and affectionately sprinkled on the three people. It sprinkled on the blooming barley flowers by the roadside, sprinkled on the lush green umbrellas of the tall trees in front of the village...

"Aunt, your Yanjiagou is so beautiful. The fragrance of flowers fills my clothes, sleeves, and the room. It makes people feel very comfortable and cozy. The villagers of Yanjiagou really love beauty. They planted so many barley flowers. They are so beautiful!" Zhan Mengyan exclaimed sincerely.

Aunt Li said as she used the grass by the roadside to weave a puppy for the little boy: "Mengyan, you don't need to plant this flower every year. After planting it for a year, a seed will be blown by the wind, and next year it will be a sea of ​​green hedges. It doesn't need to be watered or cultivated. Just give it a little sunshine and it will bloom all over the place. It has many other names, "The flowers are like hibiscus, and the leaves are like lotus. The five-foot railing can't cover them all, and half of them are left for people to see." Because of its straight and upright posture, it can be up to ten feet high, and the flowers are mostly red, so it is also called "Yi Zhang Hong". It is native to Sichuan, and its scientific name is "Hibiscus". It blooms when the wheat is ripe, so it is also called barley ripe flower."

Zhan Mengyan looked at the mother and son in front of her with admiration and said, "Aunt, you are amazing. You are so knowledgeable and know so much! Look, my little brother is just like you. He is so smart. He has also learned to weave a puppy out of grass like you!"
