Chapter 205 The end of the high school entrance examination
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already time for the last math exam.
As this was his strongest subject, Fang Wei had finished all the questions on the test paper in less than an hour.
In the remaining forty minutes, he did not hand in the paper early, but did it again from beginning to end, which was like repeating his junior high school life twice and putting a perfect end to it.
He closed the pen cap and gently pressed the paper full of answers with both hands, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
He could no longer remember how he felt when he finished the last paper.
Is it joy or regret?
I only know that at this moment, it is as if I have just woken up from a dream, as if I were in another world.
The bell rang for the end of the exam and the invigilator came up and took away his paper.
Fang Wei put his pen, compass, ruler and other items neatly into his stationery bag, picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table, drank the remaining water, then stood up and left the examination room.
I only had a math test this afternoon and it was still very early when I finished the test, just after four o'clock, which was when the afternoon sunset was at its hottest.
The corridor is bustling with people, and golden light covers the entire campus as far as the eye can see, like a moving feast.
After a while, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi also came out of their respective examination rooms.
The two of them looked relaxed. Compared to Fang Wei's feelings about the fragmented moments, the girls were more excited and thrilled.
"The exam is over~!!"
“Finally the exam is over!!”
"Does this count as graduation? We don't have to go to school starting tomorrow!!"
"Fang Wei, how did you do on the test? I'm sure you'll have no problem with math!"
"I'm invincible."
Fang Wei smiled, and then got punched by each of the two girls.
"What about you guys, how do you feel?"
"It's a bit difficult!" "It's just so-so."
"Then you are still so happy?"
“Because the exam is over anyway!”
Xu Cailing's happiness was so direct, even though it was a little difficult and there was no extraordinary performance, but she knew that she would definitely be admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so of course she was happy.
Liu Zhiyi didn't say anything, but the way she curved her brows and smiled quietly probably suggested a similar reason.
The three of them walked side by side, talking and laughing as they returned to the shade of the tree where they had gathered.
Wen Susu has been waiting for everyone.
There were no parents waiting outside the examination hall. There were only the boys and girls' favorite homeroom teachers. She became the parent, like everyone's biological sister.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"It's OK!" "Math is hard!" "Chemistry is hard!" "Ouch, time is running out!"
Everyone gathered together, talking about their feelings after the exam.
Wen Susu didn't know whose reply to give, so she simply kept silent and just listened with a smile.
From the moment the closing bell rang, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she felt like she was climbing a mountain with her luggage on her back and finally reached the top of the mountain.
"Okay~ Now that the exams are over, don't think about them for now. Everyone can relax now!"
"Teacher Wen, do we still have class tomorrow?"
"There's no class, but everyone has to come to school tomorrow!"
"Eh? What are you doing at school?"
"How about we go to the beach for a barbecue?!"
After listening to Wen Susu's suggestion, the classmates were stunned for a moment, and then burst into warm cheers.
"it is good!"
"Let's go to the beach for a barbecue!"
"Have fun tomorrow~!"
Starting from the spring outing in the first year of junior high school, Wen Susu would organize an activity for the whole class every year. However, since entering the third year of junior high school, the pace of study has been tight, so there was no spring outing this year. However, I didn’t expect that on the day after the high school entrance examination, everyone could still get together for a lively barbecue at the beach.
"Is everyone here?"
"We're all here!"
"Come on, line up. I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir!"
"it is good!"
With teacher Wen Susu around, the most indispensable thing for Class 2 is taking photos.
Everyone had a good understanding of each other. The girls stood in the front and the boys stood in the back. They all held their admission tickets and pencil bags in their hands, and then they raised their hands together and made a "yeah" sign.
Wen Susu took the camera, found a good angle, and took this group photo of everyone with the shade of trees, the examination room, and the brilliant sunset as the background.
"Return triumphantly~!"
"Hahaha……"
The happy and united class 2 also attracted the envy of many students from other classes.
Wen Susu put away the camera and looked at the time.
"Okay, I'll print out all the photos and give them to everyone..."
"Teacher Wen, what about you? You haven't taken a photo with us yet!"
Without further ado, everyone in Class 2 pulled Wen Susu to take a group photo and found a teacher to help take the photo.
In this way, everyone is satisfied with this group photo.
"Let's go back to the dormitory and pack our things first. Remember not to forget to bring anything! After you've packed, come back here and gather. Then we'll go back with the main group!"
"it is good!"
Everyone then went back to the temporary dormitory to pack their things.
Actually, there is nothing much to pack. Just put the clothes in the bag, put the sundries in the bucket, then just pick up the bucket and run away.
Just like when they came, the four classes of Baitan Middle School, including the leading teachers, about 160 to 170 people, carried their luggage and buckets, lined up, and left Qingxi Middle School talking and laughing.
"Teacher Wen, when will the results be released?"
"Well, you can check your scores around July 2nd! You can call to check your scores then, and don't lose your admission ticket! You'll need it to check your scores, and you may also need it when you register for school in the future! It's also a good souvenir to keep!"
Thinking of this, Wen Susu felt a little regretful. Why did she lose her admission ticket back then? She could only say that she was young and naive. When she wanted to find it to reminisce, she found that she could not find it anymore. This is why she loves taking photos with everyone so much. Being able to meet in the long life and the vast sea of people, and then go through a period of time together that becomes brilliant because of each other's existence, is a gift from fate.
Perhaps for most of the boys and girls in the class, it may take a very long time to understand this truth. By that time, youth is gone, and they will suddenly realize that they have not fully experienced the feeling of youth.
"Then Mr. Wen, when can we get the admission letter? Do we have to go to school to get it?"
"Yes, everyone's contact address is the school. The admission letter will be sent to the school. The teacher in the Academic Affairs Office will call you to inform you. The admission letter may not arrive that quickly!"
"Teacher Wen, will my excavator school also have an admission letter?"
“Haha, yes!”
"Where's my school where I studied cooking?!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Then Mr. Wen, are we considered graduated now? Do we not have to go to school anymore?"
Obviously everyone knows the answer to this question, but reality changes too quickly, especially right after the exam, it’s still a bit hard for me to react. I’ve graduated…
"We have to come to school one more time. Everyone, remember to come back on the morning of July 4th to attend the school's graduation ceremony!"
"Okay~!"
After talking about these, everyone started to talk excitedly about tomorrow's class gathering and barbecue at the beach.
It takes half an hour to walk from Qingxi Middle School to the pier. Normally, this distance seems so far and long, but now it seems so short.
The transport boats chartered by the school had already docked at the shore, and everyone got on board together.
The propeller stirred the water, carrying everyone slowly away.
Forty minutes later, the ferry docked at Baitan Wharf, and the familiar street scene appeared in sight.
It had only been two days since we left, but when we walked into the familiar campus together, I inexplicably felt an indescribable wonderful feeling.
It was afternoon dismissal time, and the younger students in the first and second grades rushed out of the teaching building. The golden light of the setting sun fell on the brand new track and field. They looked at the seniors carrying buckets with curiosity, just as they did in their youth.
I don’t know who started clapping first, but then many younger classmates started clapping, making the teachers and students in the third grade feel like triumphant soldiers returning from a victory.
"Alright! Let's all go home and tell our parents that we are safe~! See you tomorrow!"
"Goodbye, Teacher Wen~!"
The teams disbanded one after another.
Fang Wei and his three companions came here by bicycle. The four bicycles had been parked in the parking lot near the wall for two days. There was some dust and a few leaves on the seats.
With his cheeks puffed up, Fang Wei gently blew away the fallen leaves. He untied the leather rope on the carriage, placed the bucket in his hand on it, and tied it tightly with the leather rope.
Liu Zhiyi's movements were a little clumsy and the tie was loose, so Fang Wei came over to help her tie the bucket.
"Is everything done?"
"It's done!"
"Then let's go back."
"Let's go, let's go~!"
The four of them pushed their bicycles towards the school gate. When they passed the track and field field, they met Teacher Niu.
"Teacher Niu!"
"How was it? It looks like you all did well in the exam!"
"Hehe, not bad!"
"Would you like to run two laps with the team?"
"Okay!"
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, let's go home!"
"Goodbye, Teacher Niu!"
The four of them pushed their bicycles away, and soon after they heard the starting whistle. When they looked back, the track and field team members at the starting line were already sprinting on the 100-meter track...
Fang Wei and A Sheng rode side by side in the front, while Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi rode side by side behind.
The wheels rolled over the road, passing the town, passing Baitan Wharf, and driving onto Baitan Bridge...
After counting carefully, I found that I have ridden this road nearly two thousand times...
Ride through the sunrise, ride through the dusk, ride through the fog, ride through the sunny days, ride through the rainy days.
The seagulls circling above the bridge are still there, but I can’t tell if they are the same ones from three years ago.
The bus that passed by the four people was still in tatters, and the people inside were shaking all over, but Liu Zhiyi had never ridden on it again except on the first day of school.
Now she is considered an expert in riding a bicycle, but when she thinks about herself three years ago, she can't help but feel so stupid! She couldn't even ride a bicycle!
After getting off the Baitan Bridge, we arrived at Pineapple Island. We rode along the coastline for a while and saw the Pineapple Pier. Past the pier was the familiar village with curling smoke.
"I'm home~"
Liu Zhiyi lightly stepped on the brake and slowly stopped.
"Grandpa, I'm back."
Fang Wei Cailing and A Sheng also stopped the car and greeted Uncle Liu who was collecting and drying peanuts at the door.
"Uncle!"
"Are you all back?"
Uncle Liu laughed and came out with a basket of peanuts. Seeing that Fang Wei and the other two refused to take any, he just put the peanuts directly into their buckets.
It turns out that having a bucket is convenient!
Fang Wei and his two companions continued riding their bikes forward. When they passed the village entrance, they saw lychee trees full of lychee fruits.
Uncle Li was holding a long bamboo pole and twisting lychees with his head tilted back. Xiaoting had also finished school. Her father plucked a bunch of lychees and stretched the bamboo pole in front of her. She stretched out her little hand to take the lychees embedded in the bamboo slices, eating one in her mouth and placing a pile of lychees at her feet.
"Uncle Li! Are you picking lychees?"
"Hey! Awei, you guys came just in time! Xiaoting, give the lychees to your brother Awei and sister Cailing."
There are a lot of lychees this year. Xiaoting is like a porter, holding handfuls of lychees and putting them into the buckets of the three people.
Carrying the bucket full of lychees, Fang Wei and his two companions continued riding forward.
A Sheng is home.
Fang Wei and Cai Ling also arrived home.
The cat on the wall ran out, lifted its big tail, jumped high, and landed in Fang Wei's bucket.
"Meow~"
"I'm back~"
