like the wrong way

"The papers from the day before yesterday's test will be distributed below, and those whose names are called will come up to get them." The English teacher never reports the scores directly, but everyone knows her habit of always ranking them from high to low, and the ones who get called first must be good students .

Soon half of the people in the class got their papers and began to communicate in low voices.The remaining half stared at the English teacher, expecting to be called by the next one.

The English teacher picked up a paper, frowning and flipped through it, and shouted, "Ji Lingyang."

When Ji Lingyang walked up to the podium, the English teacher looked him up and down, handed over the paper, and said with a delicate expression, "Have you become enlightened recently?"

Ji Lingyang took the paper with a proud face, and swaggered back to his seat.

Curly immediately stretched his head over, and shouted out the moment he saw the score: "Damn it! 100!"

The classroom fell silent instantly, and almost everyone's eyes were on Ji Lingyang.

A few students in the back row who were destined to take the paper at the end came together one after another, wanting to see the beauty of this 100-point paper.

"Tong Li, I'm so anxious to see the score, do you want me to find out your paper and send it to you first?" the English teacher said with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no trouble." The curly hair quickly retracted, but his eyes still couldn't help but drift to Ji Lingyang.

Holding back until the end of get out of class, as soon as the English teacher stepped out of the classroom door, Curly immediately rushed over, read Ji Lingyang's papers over and over several times, and said with great admiration: "Fuck, brother Yang, you are too lazy to do so well in the exam. !"

"Hey, it's so-so. If I didn't doze off in the middle, the score would definitely be higher." Ji Lingyang grinned so much that his mouth reached his ears, but he wanted to pretend that he didn't care. His classmate with good grades wanted to stuff his mouth with a paper.

Curly believed this cowhide was real, holding the paper with stars in his eyes, and almost took a loudspeaker to announce it in the corridor.But the admiration is nonetheless, he still asked curiously: "Brother Yang, do you have any secrets? Can you tell me?"

Ji Lingyang subconsciously glanced at Fang Xi's position, before Curly could notice, he snatched back the paper, casually folded it up and stuffed it into the belly of the table, and said calmly: "There is no trick, but it took a little It took time to review it, but I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.”

The curly hair wilted as soon as he heard it, he scratched his hair and said with a embarrassed face: "I still need to review."

"It's beautiful to get a high score without reading the book." Ji Lingyang completely forgot what kind of virtue he was a month ago, and mocked his curly hair without shame.

Curly rolled his eyes, leaned close to Ji Lingyang's ear and whispered, "Brother Yang, you didn't cheat, did you?"

"I still need to cheat on this little thing?" Ji Lingyang slapped the table, "I will beat anyone who dares to say that I cheated!"

One hour later, the teacher's office.

Ji Lingyang rubbed against the desk and twisted into a twist: "If I said I didn't cheat, I didn't cheat. This is the result of my test based on my strength!"

The teacher in charge looked disbelieving, the mid-term exam was still the bottom of the class, and it only took more than a month to pass the exam?You are riding a rocket.He took the English paper and read it over and over again, but unfortunately the subjects did not match and he couldn't understand half of the content, so he had to put it aside and continue to persuade Ji Lingyang: "Bad grades are one thing, character problems are another , you can get good grades by cheating now, but what about the college entrance examination? The college entrance examination is so strict, if you want to cheat, you will be caught immediately, and you will not even think about the exam for the next three years. Want to get good grades in the exam? Why did you go early? I How many times have I told you to study hard and study hard, but you never listen, look at you..."

Ji Lingyang rolled his eyes to the sky, if he was not afraid of inviting his parents, he would have slammed the door and left.

The class teacher taught me earnestly for a long time, and his mouth was dry.

"I said that I took the test myself. If you don't believe me, I'm going back." Ji Lingyang took advantage of his tea break, dropped a word and wanted to leave.

The head teacher was so angry that he almost choked. Just as he was about to call him back, the office door was pushed open, and Fang Xi walked in.

"Boss, all the notebooks are collected."

"Ahem, okay, you can get it in the afternoon." The head teacher pushed the notebook aside and called Ji Lingyang to stop, "You said you didn't cheat, right? Then tell me why you suddenly did so well in the exam? Which god enlightened you? "

Fang Xi raised his hand: "Me."

head teacher:"……"

Fang Xi explained: "What I mean is that Ji Lingyang and I will review together this weekend. He has done a lot of papers, and I have helped to correct them. The scores are all good, so there should be no cheating in this time."

The homeroom teacher was speechless. Although he didn't believe Ji Lingyang, a good student like Fang Xi wouldn't lie along with him, right?After holding back for a long time, he had no choice but to say: "Well, that's fine, just treat it as yours, and continue to work hard next time. Fang Xi, you too, don't patronize teaching others to delay your own study."

"I know Lao Ban, I won't lose sight of the other."

"Okay, you guys go back, class is about to start."

Coming out of the office, Ji Lingyang let out an annoyed "cut": "I still suspect that I cheated, and I would only get 100 for cheating? If I wasn't afraid that he would make trouble for me, I would have left the table and left. Those top students got this score , all of them were "It's a pity that I made a mistake." "Be careful next time." I was comforted, I suspected that I cheated after I got 100 in the exam, and said it was not treated differently, what the hell."

He muttered and complained, but he didn't get a response from Fang Xi for a long time. When he turned around, he found Fang Xi staring at him sullenly.

"Hmph, 120 points?" Fang Xi sneered and shook the paper in his hand, "I told you the difference between wasmissing and willmiss in the eighth question of single-item fill-in-the-blank, right? The usage of on and in in cloze , Do it three times and you still make mistakes? There is also a composition, which requires writing 100 words, how many did you write? I told you to try to use conjunctions to write complex sentences, and you are full of I'm and It's?"

Ji Lingyang was instantly angry when he was told that, thinking that it was a miracle that he, a bottom student who had been hovering around 60 points all year round, could pass the exam.It's fine if you don't give a compliment, and you can't stop criticizing for a second.Ji Lingyang was so angry that his nose couldn't breathe. Just as he was about to shake his hands and leave, he saw Fang Xi couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Okay, I'm joking with you." He slapped the paper on Ji Lingyang's chest, and praised, "Except for some minor problems, you did well in the exam this time, and the special exercises I gave you are not in vain."

Ji Lingyang's tail immediately went up to the sky, and he replied triumphantly: "It's because I'm smart and quick to learn, otherwise the curly-haired kid wouldn't be able to learn it even if he was hung up and whipped."

Fang Xi kicked him angrily: "Don't be complacent, this is just a class, Chinese and mathematics haven't seen any effect yet. Go back today and continue to memorize words. You can stop the paper for a while, and start to do Chinese reading comprehension. By the way , Saturday just happens to be New Year's Day, the school should not make up classes, we will go to McDonald's in the morning to do half-day papers, and then let you go back for New Year's Day in the afternoon."

Ji Lingyang's head hurts when he hears McDonald's now, others go to eat fried chicken burgers, they are going to suffer.

Fang Xi patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be downcast, can't you just work harder and get a high score in the exam? You take this paper back and show it to Auntie Chen, I'm sure she will be very happy."

Fang Xi was right about this point. Mother Ji shook her hands excitedly when she saw the scores on the test paper.Although she didn't understand what was written on the paper, it didn't stop her from reading it over and over, praising her son non-stop.Taking advantage of Ji Lingyang's inattention, she even pressed the corners of her eyes secretly.

Seeing her like this, Ji Lingyang felt mixed feelings.He always thought that as long as he was healthy and didn't cause trouble, his mother didn't care about his grades. After all, she would never get angry because of her poor grades.Only now did he realize that it wasn't that his mother didn't care about his studies, it was just that she didn't know what to do. After all, she didn't even go to high school.

"Mom, what's there to be happy about?" Ji Lingyang turned his face away, pretending not to care, and said, "In the future, there will be more papers with higher scores than this. I'm so happy that I can't laugh my teeth out."

Ji's mother patted him angrily and amusedly: "Stinky boy, you can talk big, but you should take the test."

"What's so difficult about it, just wait, next semester I will definitely be admitted to the top [-] in the class."

"Then I'll wait and see." Ji's mother returned the paper to Ji Lingyang, and served him another bowl of pork rib soup, "Come on, I'll reward you, your dad came back late, so drink it first to pad your stomach."

When mentioning Ji's father, Ji Lingyang's face was not very good. He took the soup and asked while sucking: "Why does he always come back to eat recently?"

"What do you say, isn't it good for your dad to come back for dinner?" Ji's mother gave him a reproachful look, and turned her back to look at the stew on the stove, "Your dad changed his job a few days ago. Go home and have dinner. And you, don't fight with him all the time, you are both father and son, so you can't say anything properly. "

Ji Lingyang curled his lips. He had nothing to say to that person. He was away from home for more than half of the year, and he didn't have a good face during the few days at home. .Thinking of this, Ji Lingyang lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Mom, has he hit you recently?"

Ji's mother's back was visibly stiff, afraid that her son would notice it, she hurriedly pulled her hair to cover up, and replied calmly: "Why, your father is not an unreasonable person, how could he hit me for no reason."

"Then why did he hit you before!"

"That was a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding, he is obviously..."

"Xiao Yang!" Mother Ji took a deep breath, turned around slowly, with a forced smile on her face, "Don't worry about your adult affairs, the most important thing for you now is to study. Mom has no requirements, just I hope you can get good grades in the exam and go to a good university. It doesn't matter what your major is, whether you are here or not, as long as you like it, you know?"

Facing such a gentle mother, Ji Lingyang held his stomach full of words, but couldn't say a word, he could only nod obediently: "I see, Mom."

"What a good boy." Mother Ji put her arms around her son.

Ever since Ji Lingyang was taller than Mother Ji, the mother and son never hugged each other again.Feeling his mother's hand on his back, Ji Lingyang was a little flustered for a moment, but he quickly reacted and bent down slightly to save Ji's mother from exerting so much effort.

Feeling her son's silent thoughtfulness, Ji's mother's eyes were full of relief.She patted Ji Lingyang on the back, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so tall, and if you grow taller, I can't even touch your head."

Ji Lingyang didn't know how to answer, so he simply bent his knees and lowered himself to the same height as Ji's mother.

"Silly boy." Ji's mother smiled and stroked his hair, "Stop being coquettish, hurry up and read a book, I'll call you during dinner."

The heat in the pot is steaming, with the warm smell of smoke and fire, floating in the kitchen, and the mist in the small space is like a fairyland.

Mother Ji stood alone in the kitchen, covering her mouth, swallowing the choked sobs that had reached her throat.

She wanted to deceive her son, but she couldn't hide her emotions.Not only the father and son, but also the conflict between their husband and wife has reached the point of irreconcilability.No one until the time for this kind of conflict to start appearing, maybe it's always been there, it's just that no one takes it seriously.However, as time went by, the cracks grew bigger and bigger, so big that they were blocked at both ends of the abyss.She didn't know how long she could endure, but she couldn't do it now, she had to wait...

Mother Ji took a deep breath and took out her phone.

"Hello, Liyan."

"Sister, why did you call me suddenly, what's the matter?"

"Nothing else, just want to ask you, have you talked to Chang Ping about the money?"

"Say it, he's negotiating with that side. He said it's quite troublesome. If you really want to take it out, it's okay, but the interest will be less."

"It doesn't matter, the interest over there is higher than that of the bank, and a little less is fine. You can ask me, when can I get it the soonest."

"Whatever it is, it will be by the end of next year."

"Can you hurry up, can it be done before August? If not, it will be September."

"In such a hurry? I'll try my best to help you ask."

"Okay, I'll trouble you and Changping. By the way, don't tell your brother-in-law about this."

"I know, I won't say it. Sister, are you having conflicts with your brother-in-law again?"

"No, don't think about it."

"Sister, listen to my persuasion. Sister and wife are honest and can make money. It's good for you. You should be more accommodating to each other. Otherwise, if you really get divorced, it's not good for Xiao Yang and it's not good for you."

"I know, don't worry. The dishes are about to be cooked. I'll hang up first. Goodbye."

"OK, bye."
