Chapter 106, College Entrance Examination (Subscribe!)

"Did you see the boy's appearance?"

Song Shi asked this.

Jiang Yue frowned. "He has a strong anti-reconnaissance capability. Now I'm standing with my back to the tree, and I can't see what he looks like. Is his family in the police force?"

Song Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He went into the main room with his wife, poured himself a cup of tea, picked up a newspaper and sat on the sofa.

The couple seemed to be drinking tea and reading the newspaper, but in fact their attention was focused on the direction of the door.

After a while, the door creaked open.

As the footsteps approached, the sound of a key unlocking the door was heard outside.

There was another creaking sound, and Song Yu appeared at the door. She put her umbrella on the corridor outside and called inside, "Dad, Mom."

The couple put down the newspaper at the right time, and Jiang Yue stood up and asked, "Have you eaten? Why did you come back at this time?"

Song Yu said: "I just finished eating with Mai Sui and other classmates. I'm going to get something and go back to school. These are the last few days of high school, and I want to stay with you all for a while longer."

The couple looked at each other inconspicuously, both surprised that their daughter started to lie, and there was indeed something fishy.

Since we are already holding an umbrella, can there be no name for it?

Jiang Yue's heart suddenly felt empty. Her daughter had finally grown up, and she was no longer under the control of her mother.

Even though they had many doubts and reluctance in their hearts, the couple chose not to expose it. Jiang Yue asked tentatively: "Do you want me and your father to send you off?"

Song Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "No, my classmates are waiting for me outside."

In the past, Jiang Yue might have habitually asked, "Who?"

But now?

I won’t ask anymore. If I do, I’ll feel more upset and embarrassed.

Song Yu went back to her bedroom, took out a piece of jade Guanyin, exchanged a few words with her parents, and then left home.

Jiang Yue sent her to the gate, and then just stared at her daughter as she opened the gate and walked down the stairs, feeling dazed for a moment.

Back in the room, the couple stopped acting because they couldn't go on any longer.

After a while, Jiang Yue unwillingly opened his umbrella and came under the grape vines again to look out, just in time to see the two figures walking away.

An umbrella, two people, strolling leisurely in the rain.

"Do you see it clearly this time?" Song Shi followed out and asked.

Jiang Yue shook her head, "No. But I remember that figure from behind. There aren't many people this tall. Next time I see him, I'll probably recognize him."

As she spoke, she looked up impulsively, "How about I go to No. 1 Middle School tomorrow under the pretext of delivering food?"

But after finishing speaking, Jiang Yue shook his head and returned to the house in depression.

Maybe you can find it by looking for it, but what if you find it?
At this juncture, nothing can be done.

After a sleepless night tossing and turning, Jiang Yue asked her husband, "Why didn't our daughter take the umbrella and leave?"

Song Shi pondered: "I guess I don't want you to doubt me."

Jiang Yue said: "But I already have doubts."

Song Shi smiled bitterly.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yue suddenly said, "No, I still have to deliver the food tomorrow."

Song Shi could almost understand his wife's torment. After thinking for a while, he advised: "Even if you find it, don't expose it."

Jiang Yue thought so too, "I know."

the other side.

Li Heng asked: "Uncle and aunt don't have any doubts, right?"

Song Yu looked at him, walked forward ten steps and asked, "Are you afraid that they will be suspicious?"

Li Heng said firmly: "Don't be afraid."

Song Yu was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

When she turned a corner and was about to reach the gate of No. 1 Middle School, she suddenly stopped and handed him the jade Guanyin that she had been holding in her palm:
"This is what Manning and I got when we went to the temple to pray for blessings last time. I'm giving it to you. I wish you good luck in the college entrance examination!"

If this hadn't been mentioned, Li Heng would have almost forgotten about it.

Before the month-long holiday, Sun Manning tried hard to invite him to go hiking, saying that they were going to the temple to pray for the college entrance examination. She also used Song Yu to seduce him, but he refused.

I just joked at that time: Let Song Yu help me burn incense and pray, I won’t go.

"Thank you."

Li Heng said thank you, then bent his waist slightly and waited straight.

Song Yu understood his thoughts instantly, stared into his eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Li Heng, do you understand me?"

Li Heng hesitated, he had a lot to say, but in the end he only said one word: "I understand."

"Ah."

After getting the answer she wanted, Song Yu hummed lightly, then stretched out the red string of the Jade Guanyin in her palm and helped him put it around his neck.

After doing all this, she looked away and stopped talking quietly.

Li Heng could sense her nervousness and inner hesitation, so he stopped forcing her. He opened the umbrella and said gently, "The rain has gotten heavier. Let's go back to school."

Song Yu said slowly and carefully.

After that, the two walked in silence.

After they entered the school gate and came to the rockery, Li Heng handed the umbrella to her and said, "I will take you here and go back to the dormitory first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out, leaving her no psychological burden.

Her eyes followed his back for about a hundred meters, and when he could no longer be seen, Song Yu slowly withdrew her gaze.

But she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood there for several minutes before returning to the dormitory.

She asked: Li Heng, do you understand me?

Li Heng said he understood, so he gave her maximum mental freedom and stopped pressuring her.

That night, after being caught in a heavy rain, Wheat Ear caught a cold and had a low fever.

This made Song Yu very anxious. She first accompanied her to the infirmary to get some medicine, and then said with great regret:

"The college entrance examination is coming up soon, why are you standing in the rain? We can just find a place to hide and ask him to go back to Hongqi Road to buy an umbrella."

Mai Sui kept smiling and said, "It's okay, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep tomorrow. I just think Li Heng is great. He's so talented, and you're so pretty and charming. You two are a perfect match. I don't want to see you regret it."

Song Yu poured her a cup of hot water and said, "Drink more hot water. It would be best if you could sweat tonight."

Mai Sui obediently drank the whole glass of water in three gulps, and finally put the glass down and asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:

"Have he and Chen Zijin broken up?"

Song Yu nodded and shook her head.

Mai Sui was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Song Yu picked up the kettle and poured her another cup of hot water. "He and Zijin hadn't been in touch for a long time. They seemed to be on the verge of breaking up, but after his book To Live was successfully published, they got in touch again."

After hearing this, Mai Sui held the teacup in both hands and looked straight at her. After a long while, he said with regret: "If I were you, I wouldn't be a transit station."

Song Yu shook her head slightly: "It's useless. Regardless of how I feel about him, Xiao Han has always liked him."

Mai Sui's eyes widened. It was the first time he knew this inside story. "How did you know?"

Song Yu said: "Zi Jin told me that she and Xiao Han were both enemies and friends, and they started to get along in junior high school."

Mai Sui blurted out: "Just for Li Heng?"

Song Yu smiled and said word by word: "Just for Li Heng."

Mai Sui knew that she had said something wrong, and smiled tenderly, "I don't mean to look down on him, but that's Xiao Han.

Objectively speaking, she is not much inferior to you. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Doesn't she usually look quite cold and aloof? How could this be?
How come you're already jealous at such a young age in middle school?"

Song Yu was speechless for a long time, then joked: "Maybe it's similar to the story of a monk carrying water to drink."

Mai Sui understood immediately, "It becomes more popular when there are people competing for it?"

After saying that, the two women looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed.

7 month 4 number.

In the morning, Jiang Yue went to No. 1 Middle School in the name of delivering food to her daughter, but ended up with nothing. She stayed for a long time but did not see Li Heng.

It made her extremely puzzled.

When Jiang Yue caught her daughter going to the boiler room to turn on the water, she remembered something and asked Mai Sui who was resting on the bed: "Mai Sui, where did you and Yu Bao eat last night?"

Mai Sui didn't think much about it and answered subconsciously: "Auntie, we are over at Hongqi Road."

Jiang Yue was a little surprised to hear that Mai Suizhen had dinner with her daughter, and further asked tentatively: "Are you having dinner in the dormitory?
I came to the dormitory to look for Yubao in the evening, and none of you were there. "

Mai Sui originally wanted to say, "No, there are only three of us," but when the words came to her lips she felt something was wrong. Wouldn't it be better to ask Song Yu this question? Why ask me?
This reminds me of Li Heng pursuing Song Yu.

Thinking back to yesterday's route, which was around Shaoxing Teachers College for most of the way..
Mai Sui instantly became alert and immediately changed his words, "No, we had dinner together last night because we were having a good time."

Hearing this, who did Jiang Yue want to ask?
But she knew that if she continued to ask, wouldn't she be exposed?

Jiang Yue thought, just bear with it a little longer. After the college entrance examination, her daughter will bring home graduation photos. She will look at the photos then.

Not giving up, Jiang Yue walked around the teaching building and the playground again before leaving, but still didn't see anyone, so he had to leave in disappointment.

As soon as Jiang Yue left, Mai Sui immediately said to Song Yu: "Your mother just asked me about what I had for dinner last night."

Song Yu asked: "How did you answer?"

Mai Sui repeated the previous conversation.

Song Yu fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Mai Sui asked: "What? Were you and Li Heng discovered on your way back?"

Song Yu said: "I'm not sure, but the possibility that it was Li Heng is the highest."

Mai Sui was worried about her friend: "If your parents ask you about it later, how will you answer?" Song Yu said quietly: "Answer truthfully."

Mai Sui asked, "Will you also tell me about him pursuing you?"

Song Yu shook her head slightly: "They knew that Li Heng and Zi Jin were dating, and I didn't agree to it."

The wheat ears understand that being nine parts true and one part false is the highest level of lying.

There are only three days left before the college entrance examination, but Li Heng is not as nervous, excited, or terrified as others.

He gets up on time every day, eats on time, and goes to bed on time.

I usually read books and do exercises, and my focus is on reviewing the "error correction book" accumulated over the past three years.

I feel like I’ve gained a lot.

He didn't deliberately look for Song Yu or Xiao Han.

Because the two girls lived in the same female dormitory building, one on the third floor and the other on the second floor, if they collided at this time, it might affect their performance in the college entrance examination.

At this critical moment, he must not let down.

At noon on the 4th, Li Heng went to the Moral Education Building to check out the examination room, which was located in our school and took less than 10 minutes to go there and back.

On the 5th and 6th, I read books and did exercises in the dormitory to keep in touch.

On the evening of the 6th, the English teacher asked Mr. Zhou, who was in charge of the dormitory, to go to the dormitory and call him downstairs, "How are you doing now?"

Li Heng replied: "Teacher, don't worry, it's fine."

"That's good. Are the test tools ready?" Wang Runwen asked again.

Li Heng nodded, "It's ready, all in a bag."

Hearing this, Wang Runwen turned and walked towards the teachers' family building, "I made dinner, let's eat together."

"Hey, okay."

Suddenly I feel a little nostalgic.

The three years of high school have ended just like that. I don’t know if I will have the chance to have dinner with this teacher who has always treated me well in the future?

Seemingly both of them were preoccupied with something, they went up to the third floor one after the other without speaking much to each other.

The lock is locked and the door opens.

After changing his shoes, Wang Runwen first went to the bedroom and took out a letter and two bills of exchange.

Li Heng took it and took a look. The letter was from reader Huang Zhaoyi, and the money order was sent from Harvest magazine.

The amount on a bill of exchange showed 1350 yuan, which was the remuneration for "The Troublemakers".

Another one is for 2500 yuan, which is the remuneration for the Shanghai Radio Station's broadcast of "To Live".

Li Heng was never careless about money matters. He checked it carefully twice before putting it into his underwear pocket.

As for the letter from the reader, it felt very thick, but he didn't want to care about it for the time being and didn't want to be distracted. He would deal with it after the college entrance examination.

The dishes on the table were very rich, with three meaty dishes and a small Chinese cabbage.

There is also a scallion egg soup.

Wang Runwen rarely served two bowls of soup at once, so he handed him one bowl and said:
"Editor Zouping called me this afternoon. He knew you were preparing for the college entrance exam, so he didn't contact you."

Li Heng asked: "What did you say?"

Wang Runwen said: "He came to congratulate me, saying that the single volume of To Live was a big hit, and the first batch of 5 copies had been sold out in just five days.

At present, there are many phone calls and letters from readers sent to "Harvest" magazine every day, asking for more copies. The magazine plans to print another 30 copies. "

Li Heng was very excited when he heard this, "Really?"

Seeing him so happy, Wang Runwen smiled and nodded.

Li Heng said happily: "The royalty contract is for 30 copies. Doesn't that trigger the royalty agreement? Am I really the first rich man to receive royalties?"

Hearing the word "uncle", Wang Runwen lifted his hair and said, "It should be."

She had something to hide, because the issue of royalties had caused the newspapers to be flooded with related news in the past few days, some positive and some negative.

But unlike the overwhelming praise in the past, there are many articles condemning him, as if someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Wang Runwen was afraid that he would buy a newspaper to read, so he specifically told him: "Don't be distracted by foreign affairs these days, and don't read the newspaper. Focus on the college entrance examination first."

In fact, she shouldn't have said this today, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still said it because she knew that Li Heng had the habit of reading newspapers frequently.

Li Heng had a vague guess, but he was as steady as an old dog after two lives. As long as there was money in his pocket, it was still a lot of money. As for other things, you can talk about them all you want, it won't cost you a thing.

I am not strong enough now, so I can’t bother you, but I will slap you in the face with a series of awesome novels later.

30 copies, priced at 3 yuan each.

How much is the 5% royalty?

After some mental arithmetic, I came up with a huge sum of 4 yuan.

Oh my god! 45000 yuan!
I wouldn’t dare say he was the richest man in Qianzhen, after all, there were gold diggers who made their fortune very quickly, but even if we only talk about money, he was definitely number one.

I can chat with the girls in every household in Shangwan Village. Damn it! I guarantee that no one will dare to hide their daughters anymore.

This idea is so fucking vulgar, but it makes me feel proud.

And
And this is only the first batch, there are more to come. Haven’t you heard that 30 more copies were printed?
Phew! Li Heng was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words. He happily finished the bowl of chopped green onion and egg soup.

Wang Runwen had already secretly calculated how much royalties he would get, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes when he looked at him.

Ask him: "What are your plans for summer vacation?"

Li Heng pondered and said, "I will go home first, and then go to the capital."

Wang Runwen reacted, "Go to Chen's house? To find Chen Zijin?"

Li Heng corrected, "I am indeed looking for Chen Zijin, but I am not going to Chen's house."

Wang Runwen was puzzled.

The teacher in front of him was one of the few people in the world who was truly kind to him and did not ask for anything in return. After thinking for a while, Li Heng told him about the conflicts between Zhong Lan's sister-in-law and his mother.

After listening to this, Wang Runwen couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't make any comments. He just said, "When are you going? Do you want me to buy you a train ticket?"

She only mentioned train tickets, not plane tickets.

Because she didn't have the ability to buy the plane ticket on her own. It wasn't a matter of money, but of lack of qualifications.

Li Heng had an idea in mind. "I'll stay at home for three days and then leave."

Counting the days, the college entrance examination will be held on 7, 8 and 9, and I will have to go home for one day.

Wang Runwen said, "Then I'll buy you a ticket for July 7th."

"Can I buy it?"

"Shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay, thank you teacher. Please pay for the train ticket first and I will give it to you when the time comes." Li Heng said.

Wang Runwen adjusted his glasses, hummed, and began to invite him to eat.

After chatting about this, the two of them fell into silence again, just like they had on the way here.

Li Heng wanted to find a topic to break the deadlock, but when he saw his English teacher concentrating on eating, he turned off the fire and started eating with his teacher.

There were quite a lot of dishes, and each bowl was quite filling. But the foodie Li Heng ate even more. He finished the two meat dishes in one go, and finally patted his belly with satisfaction and put down his chopsticks.

He didn't want to eat so much.

But seeing that the teacher seemed to like watching him eat, he reluctantly ate a little more. Anyway, he was so thin that he would not have any psychological burden if he gained another 10 pounds.

The key point is that his experience in his previous life told him that he and his second sister had the physique that could not gain weight, so they could not just eat as much as they wanted.

After dinner, the two finally continued the topic.

During this time, Li Heng asked, "Teacher, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"

Wang Runwen shook his head, looking confused.

Li Heng made a joke, "How about taking me to Beijing? There are a lot of fun things there."

Wang Runwen glanced at him, "What are you going there for? To be a light bulb for you and Chen Zijin?"

Li Heng laughed and said, "You are not bald, so you are not qualified to be a light bulb. I am leaving now. Thank you for the dinner, teacher."

He left as soon as he said he would. It was already dark outside. He kept in mind Sun Manning's advice and should not stay at his English teacher's house after dark.

He is not afraid of anything, as he can just leave in a few days. But the English teacher is different. His roots are here, so he still has to pay attention to the impact.

That night, everyone in dormitory 215 gathered again.

Maybe it was because we were too nervous, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit solemn. After taking a shower, everyone lay down on the bed. Contrary to their usual practice, they didn't talk. They listened to the old ceiling fan swaying and turning, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day was July 7, the first day of the college entrance examination.

As usual, Li Heng got up at 6:20, washed up, had breakfast, and then took a walk outside feeling refreshed.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was too suffocating at this time.

He could feel that Liu Li, Zou Aiming and Liu Yejiang were about to bite their teeth to pieces, a mixture of anxiety and hope, with the expectation of making a splash in the college entrance examination and surpassing the others in the dormitory, but also a huge fear that one battle would determine their fate.

At around 8 o'clock, Li Heng appeared in the Moral Education Building.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Mai Sui who was also coming to the exam room.

"You came."

"Ah."

"Relax, keep going, and good luck on the exam!" Mai Sui cheered him up.

Li Heng nodded, "You too, do your best in the exam, don't be nervous, and get into Peking University."
