The mountains and rivers are gentle today

When Grandma Cheng was able to wake up for a long time in a day and remember who she was, it was the beginning of June, the temperature had just started to heat up, and the green trees outside the window of the ward were ready to burst out the vitality of midsummer.

Lin Xiqing finally started to memorize philosophy and the chronology of major events seriously. He carried the pamphlets for studying liberal arts with him almost everywhere, and once hummed while holding the pamphlets in front of Grandma Cheng's hospital bed.

Grandma Cheng listened with great interest, and Cheng Yanfan, who had finally learned how to peel apples, was so annoyed by it that she wished she could just pierce the fruit knife out of her mouth.

"I'm not as good at memorizing as you are for the liberal arts in the college entrance examination." Cheng Yanfan complained that her mock exam questions had reached a level of about [-] per subject by the end of May, and she felt nothing in June. Fortunately, I was struggling with the exams, so I spent almost every day in the hospital, accompanying Grandma Cheng to recover.

"I don't want to score points." Lin Xiqing took Grandma Cheng's hand and said, "Come on, grandma, let me tell you another piece of history. In 210 AD, where is Zhou Yu..."

"Okay, okay..." Grandma Cheng couldn't speak long sentences now, she just smiled and patted Lin Xiqing's hand tremblingly.

The academic examination is sandwiched between the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination in terms of schedule, but the social attention is far less than that—after all, it is a qualifying examination with a pass rate of 90.00%, and basically everyone can pass it.It’s just that, the pass rate is 90.00%, and there are always schools in the world with a 90.00% pass rate; this means that there must be schools with a pass rate far below [-]%—No. No. [-] middle school, which is not the college entrance examination room, is still in class, and the leaders of the No. [-] middle school even arranged a swearing-in meeting for the school entrance examination.

Lin Xiqing's class is the first class in their grade, shouldering the glorious mission that all members must pass the exam, standing at the front of the playground, accepting the earnest entrustment of the principals.

Lin Xiqing huddled at the end of the line with black lines all over his head, thinking where to find a rock to bump into so that he could forget this exaggerated and embarrassing scene.

She turned her head and glanced back, and Cheng Yanfan happened to be right behind her in the one-person-wide aisle.

"Hey." Lin Xiqing shouted angrily, "Slip away."

Cheng Yanfan nodded, and Lin Xiqing followed her bent down into the bored and drowsy crowd lined up, and briskly fled the playground.

"Really, you also think the principal is so exaggerated!" Lin Xiqing complained holding a row of AD calcium milk that Cheng Yanfan bought for 12 yuan and five dollars from the small shop just now.

"It's mainly because of boredom." Cheng Yanfan put his hands in his pockets and followed Lin Xiqing to wander around the small campus. Every plant and tree had been familiar to him in the process of rushing to class, but under the midsummer and June sunshine It seemed strange and fresh.

"How much longer do you think the principal can talk? Can we go see your grandma in time?" Lin Xiqing put each bottle of AD calcium milk into the straw, and decided to sip one bottle at a time, "—I've wanted to do this for a long time, Don't you want a bottle?"

Cheng Yanfan shook her head, and said: "She doesn't want me to go there for the past two days, and she will sleep as soon as I go. Sister Juanjuan also said that we should go after the exam."

Lin Xiqing suddenly felt a little sad, some people still cherish such a small exam that the whole society does not pay attention to.She didn't know how she should feel at this moment—is it the joy of being cared about by others, or the absurdity of caring about something she shouldn't care about?she does not know.

The examination room for the No. [-] Middle School is arranged at the L City Branch of Meicheng No. [-] Middle School.Meicheng No. [-] Middle School is one of the most famous middle schools in this province. It has a high enrollment rate and is a century-old prestigious school. It is said that it participated in the student movement during the Republic of China.However, it seems inevitable that it will become commercialized after a hundred years of development. "Meicheng No. [-] Middle School" has long since developed into a well-known education group in the whole province, with branch schools in various prefectures and cities.

The L City Branch of Meicheng No. [-] Middle School can be called the best school in L City. When Lin Xiqing saw the polished tile walls of the teaching building and the bathroom with partitions, he didn't know whether he should feel that he had never seen the world. Or Meicheng No. [-] Middle School is too corrupt.

In the exams, the student ID numbers were used to rearrange the seats. Before entering the exam room, Lin Xiqing paid attention to the information sheet pasted at the door, and scanned the fifth digit of the exam ID number representing the school code.

Each exam takes about 15 minutes to start. Except for Chinese and English, which really require writing, the exam room is basically filled with the sounds of seats being moved, papers being handed in and people leaving.

Lin Xiqing was embarrassed and continued to turn on the air conditioner in the examination room, and then he raised his hand and left.

After leaving the examination room, she originally wanted to go to the entrance of Xu Lan's examination room and wait, but because Xu's classmate was really slow in writing the papers, she simply turned on her toes and went to the entrance of Cheng Yanfan's examination room.

It just so happened that she went to the examination room with her front foot, and Cheng Yanfan came out with her back foot.

Seeing her at first, Cheng Yanfan was a little surprised, but in the last two scenes, he made a gesture and went downstairs together without saying a word.

Take a walk in the small garden downstairs, admire one of the elegant gardening works, and wait for the cordon to be opened to let the idle candidates out.

During the last walk, Lin and Cheng's time and distance calculations were obviously not accurate. They were still deep in the small garden when the cordon was lifted, and now they are slowly strolling back.

Suddenly, singing sounded, it was the sound of the piano.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Lin Xiqing looked around for the source of the singing.

Cheng Yanfan pointed to the canopy above their heads, and the speakers were hidden among the branches.

"Senior." Lin Xiqing said with emotion, "Fortunately, I left late today, otherwise I wouldn't have heard it."

The melodious piano music passed through the emerald green leaves, spinning and penetrating into their cochleas.

It was a song many years ago. When the song was released, Lin Xiqing and Cheng Yanfan were even children who could not read big characters. They were both in City B, and they had enough to envy others, but they themselves felt deeply about the ordinary and glorious future.

This is a song that welcomes people from all over the world to come to City B.

City B is so tolerant of everything, and it is also so that it will not stay for anyone.

"Let me tell you a secret. In fact, I was able to go to Meicheng No. [-] Middle School, not a branch school like L City, but the headquarters." Before walking through the cordon, Lin Xiqing said suddenly, "During the second year of junior high school, there was a competition called The Chengchi Cup is organized by No. [-] Middle School, and students like us from other places can pass the exam through this competition."

"The registration of this competition requires a lot of requirements. Only the top three in a grade with more than 500 students can be qualified for registration. That is the only time I thank No. 1 Middle School from the bottom of my heart. We recruited nearly [-] students in that class. There are few students who study hard, so I have always been No.[-]." Lin Xiqing continued.

"So, you passed the exam?" Cheng Yanfan asked.

Lin Xiqing shrugged: "I am No. 12. I recruit [-] candidates from other places, but only the top ten get scholarships. If I have more money, I will go to study."
