Chapter 73 Don't Give Up
Chapter 73 Don't Give Up
Evening study.
Teacher Xiao Fu held the test paper and the total score list, stood at the door of the classroom, lowered his head and straightened his neckline, exhaled lightly, and then straightened his back in a relaxed manner, ready to step in.
As soon as she stepped into the classroom and saw the situation inside, she stopped in her footsteps.
The usual bustling study scene was no longer visible, replaced by a gloomy and depressing cloud covering the city.
Ou Yaya's eyes were red, Lei Tiantian was slumped on the table, Cheng Chengcheng stared at his test paper, Chen Zhengfei added his scores one by one, but no matter how he added the scores, the scores remained the same.
Teacher Xiao Fu couldn't step on that foot no matter what.
She knew what they were upset about.
The results of this monthly exam have come out, and the students in Class [-] performed very normally this time.
The key is to be normal.
This group of children worked hard for more than a month, and the magma-like enthusiasm and energy fell in the eyes of every teacher, and it was hard not to be moved.
She has been overwhelmed by the efforts of these children many times.
But life is not a drama after all, and there is no protagonist. Once the small universe burns, energy and big moves bloom together, and all difficulties are easily solved.
Learning is a long journey, relying on time, talent, hard work, efficiency and methods, both are indispensable.
If they want to surpass No. [-] Middle School and catch up with Provincial No. [-] High School in a short period of time, even if the children of Shangxi have transformed and improved too much, it is still a fantasy.
This is a big dream that only belongs to teenagers and frivolous people.
Who would have the heart to pierce those firm and hard-working faces, the determination of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to change the world, or the huge and humble dream of a boy?
But, reality is reality after all.
Outside the window sill of the classroom, the night rain continued on a cloudy night, and the night covered the buildings and crowds in the city, leaving a shadow of panic. The sound of distant boats sounded from the wide and wide river, which seemed to herald a storm. A long journey that will never succeed.
She squeezed out a smile: "Students, let's comment on today's English test paper."
hospital.
In the corridor next to the corridor of the ICU ward.
Shang Yang sat on the top step, stuffed the test papers that were almost stared at into pieces into the bag, lowered his head and rubbed his face with his hands for a long time, tried to squeeze the corners of his mouth, and tried to show his natural and cheerful expression. expression.
He is going to see Shang Houde soon.
Even though Shang Houde was lying in the ICU ward, he couldn't see anything, and he could only glance at the ward once or twice through the window outside the door, but he still stubbornly wanted to see him without his dejected and be discouraged.
Today's visiting time has already passed, and it's already night again. On the floor of the corridor of the ICU ward, there are a few family members sleeping on the rough bedding and clothes, all of them look panicked and tired.
Even when they fell asleep, their spirits were tense all the time. Shang Yang tried to lighten his footsteps, and several family members still poked their heads in the first place.
Shang Yang apologized to them in a low voice.
They shook their heads, said it was nothing, and lay down again.
There is still a parting between death and fear, as if the three brothers of the compatriots are always dormant in this peaceful space, waiting for one after another.
The atmosphere was jittery.
"Xiaoyang?" Aunt Lu, who was guarding the ward, saw Shang Yang, sat up, and greeted him, "Come here quickly. It's so late, why are you here? You look so bad, is something wrong?"
Shang Yang came here on impulse, and he had prepared a strong mentality in the corridor, but suddenly he was hit by Aunt Lu's concern, and his nose was so sour that he almost cried because of his grievance and depression.
Fortunately, he held back and turned his face away: "I just want to take a look."
Aunt Lu did not doubt that he was there, she hugged Shang Yang's shoulder and patted comfortingly: "The doctor said that Mr. Shang's condition is recovering fairly well. Doesn't the matter of the lesion mean that he is considering a second operation? There is always hope , don't be too..."
Shang Yang squeezed out a smile: "Yes."
Second surgery?
The success rate of the operation is less than [-]% chance?
Although it was not the first time, when Shang Yang stood in front of the ward door and looked at Shang Houde through the narrow and short window, he still couldn't connect him with the person he was familiar with.
It seems that people can easily change their appearance when they are sick and depressed.
Life itself is too fragile a thing.
After standing for a while, seeing that it was too late, Shang Yang was persuaded by Aunt Lu: "You have to go to school tomorrow. The college entrance examination is important. I heard you say last time that you still want to get a good grade in the exam so that Shang Yang Are you happy, sir?"
Shang Yang hummed lightly, but he was full of confusion about the directionless road ahead.
good grade?
Is it because he can't improve his English no matter what?Always careless and can't get a full score in mathematics?Why can't the total score pass the hurdle?
He wants to prove to Shang Houde that he can take care of himself alone, he is worthy of being his son, and all his efforts are not in vain.
The current results are not enough.
Not enough.
Seeing that Shang Yang didn't speak, Aunt Lu asked strangely, "Yangyang?"
Turning his face away, Shang Yang didn't want to worry one more person, so he squeezed out a smile: "Yes. We are working hard, and we will definitely let Dad see our results."
……
Saying goodbye to Aunt Lu in a hurry, Shang Yang almost escaped from the floor where the ward is located.It wasn't until he got out of the gate that he found a corner, squatted down slowly, and quietly fermented his emotions with his face covered.
He is so tired.
Everything is too difficult.
Suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of him, it was the pair of sneakers that Shang Houde gave Li Qing.
He looked up and saw Li Qing standing in front of him, looking down at him.His face was snow-white, and there was a little dew on his black forehead, obviously he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Shang Yang suddenly wanted to escape and relax, he raised his head and asked, "Is there any smoke?"
Li Qing looked at him: "Smoke?"
Shang Yang looked at him: "I want to try."
"Don't try it, it's addictive. It took me a while to quit." Li Qing kissed his forehead lightly, "Call me when you want to try it. I'll be your cigarette."
Shang Yang stared at him for a while, then suddenly held his face and kissed him.
This is a slightly bloody kiss, more like venting than ambiguous.
hysteria.
After parting, both of them were out of breath.
Seeing Shang Yang's gloomy and indifferent look, he shook the car key in his hand, Li Qing said to him: "Brother Shang, do you want to go out for a drive?"
At the end of the road illuminated by the white light of the street lamp, the night is dark, quiet and huge, like some kind of beast that seems to be able to swallow life, waiting for its prey with its huge mouth.Amidst the dull hum of the engine, the snow-white headlights of the motorcycle flew past, piercing into it like a bayonet, bringing the whistling wind in the ears of the two people on the car.
Wearing a helmet, hugging Li Qing's waist, feeling the rumble and tremor of the car body, with almost no other noises in his ears except the whistling wind, Shang Yang's mind was cleared and he found peace.
He suddenly understood why some people like racing cars.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn
"I *fuck* your fucking life!"
The voice exploded in the quiet and misty night sky, drifted away and finally turned into dots, and was swept by the night wind behind the backs of the two roaring forward.
Flying into the wind.
Outrun this fucking life.
Li Qing brought Shang Yang to the river embankment.The reason why Jiangcheng is famous is that it is adjacent to a famous tributary of the Yangtze River.In order to prevent floods and protect the beach, long embankments were built along the mighty river.
After stopping the motorcycle, Li Qing took off his helmet and packed his things.
Shang Yang looked towards the river, staring at the mighty and wide river from the high embankment.The waves on the river were wrinkled, and the moonlight splashed and collided like broken jade, like a small golden fish slapping the water with its tail.
Regardless of the turmoil and changes in the world, it is also eternal.
In the early morning, the night wind brought the moisture from the river surface, which made people shiver from the cold.Shang Yang murmured: "Shangxi still has such a place?"
Li Qing took out his jacket and put it on Shang Yang, and said with a smile, "The children in the city haven't seen the original ecological river beach, have they?"
Shang Yang remained silent.
That's right, the towering buildings near the river beach in the city reach into the sky, and the bustling business districts are one after another. On the river beach, there are always young couples on dates, aunts swimming, fishing and square dancing, and parents with children. A lively side section of the city.
It's different here.
In order to prevent floods, the long and narrow embankment is seven or eight meters higher than the surrounding area. Except for the occasional battery cars of flood control personnel, there is no one else.
When standing on it and looking up at the starry sky, it is easy to have the illusion that the vast starry sky is vast, the whole world is vast and vast, and you and I are the only ones.
In the early morning, the ground was damp and dewy, Li Qing casually rolled up his coat, sat on the ground, looked at the river and said, "When my mother was sick and hospitalized, I couldn't sleep at night, so I would ride here alone. "
Shang Yang sat down beside Li Qing: "What are you doing here?"
"Do nothing." Li Qing smiled at him, "When I am awake during the day, I have too many things to do. When I have a chance to be alone, I just want to do nothing, just stay quietly for a while. "
Shang Yang understood that feeling.
He just wants to do nothing now, let time stop at this moment, all future hopes and disappointments will not happen, their ridiculous catch-up plan will not fail, Shang Houde can live, he can also have a Respite.
Li Qing, he must have been like this back then.
He was half a year younger than himself, and when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had to bear such a heavy burden of life.
Will he be tired by then?
"Brother Shang." Li Qing grabbed a nameless weed on the river embankment and wove it into a ring, "Do you want to know how I fell in love with you?"
Shang Yang looked at him jokingly: "Isn't it the first time I saw my brother, I was addicted to my prosperous beauty?"
Unexpectedly, Li Qing admitted: "Yes."
Shang Yang was stunned.
Grabbing Shang Yang's hand, putting the wildflower ring on his middle finger, Li Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "Although you may not believe it, I fell in love with you at first sight."
Shang Yang also remembered his first meeting with Li Qing.
That stubborn and indifferent young man under the street lamp, when he bent over, showed a piece of white, so why didn't he fall for him at the first sight.
Li Qing looked up at the starry sky: "I was 15 years old that year. I just came out not long ago. I hated the society and felt that fate was unfair. I just had a fight with the gangsters from the vocational school next door. I forgot the reason. It was just you. I'm not pleasing to the eye, and I also think that you are not pleasing to the eye. They beat me one out of seven, and I didn't lose, but I didn't get any better. After the beating, I was covered in injuries, so I realized that Teacher Shang came to me for something."
"Then I gave up on myself and went to Provincial High School with all the injuries."
Shang Yang was engrossed in listening, subconsciously asked: "Then you saw me?"
Li Qing smiled: "Yes."
Shang Yang recalled his junior high school career, but did not notice when he met Li Qing.
Li Qing was born too outstandingly, he is the type that is not easy to be forgotten.
Li Qing said: "It was school time at that time, and there were people everywhere at the entrance of the High School Affiliated to Provincial No. 7 High School. You were wearing a basketball jersey with a bright yellow number [-] blowing out like a gust of wind. You turned your head and laughed at your classmates. Under the sun, that The smile is as bright as a little sun."
Shang Yang vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a segment, and joked: "Then you noticed how handsome I am, and you couldn't help it?"
"No, I was very jealous and unfair at that time. Why should I roll through the ugliest mud in the world and be feared and disgusted by everyone because everyone is the same age? But you can have such a clean, sunny and beautiful life. Life." Li Qing jokingly said.
Shang Yang was stunned when he heard that.
"However, what happened later made me change my mind." Li Qing looked at Shang Yang and said.
Shang Yang was surprised: "?"
Li Qing said: "Because of the jealousy and cynicism that I can't explain myself, I followed you for a while, wanting to see what kind of person you are, and also want to see what the children of the same age are living. Such a day. I walked with you for 10 minutes, and when I was impatient, I watched you foolishly being hugged by a beggar on the thigh, crying and saying that my leg was broken and I had no money for medical treatment , Please kind people help. That beggar is so fake, I can even see his real legs protruding from under his pants. But you didn’t see it at all, and foolishly took out all the money on your body.”
Shang Yang thought back seriously: Was he that stupid in junior high school?
Li Qing continued: "Later, I felt that this lucky kid from the city was just a fool with a lot of money. I saw you walked to a basketball court and started to practice shooting. You practiced all night. I can see that you It should be because your hands were raw, and you didn’t play well. You fell on the ground once, your knees were torn, and the people around you were trying to persuade you to go back. But you didn’t want to, no matter how painful the wound was, no matter how much blood flowed , always persevering.”
"That day, you left school from school in the afternoon and practiced until the last person on the court left in the evening."
Shang Yang didn't even remember: "And then?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "There is nothing else. Then I saw that it was almost dawn, and you were still playing. I felt impatient and left."
Shang Yang looked at Li Qing.
Li Qing said: "Later, I asked Teacher Shang to find out that you were lying in bed for half a year because of a car accident. When you returned to school, you met a municipal basketball game. You are the main force of the basketball team. Because your level has declined, you will be replaced by the coach. In order to recover as soon as possible and let your team win the first place in the city, you have been practicing like this for a month."
Shang Yang remembered this matter: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing."
He looked at Li Qing.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoqing plotted against him at that time.
"I was thinking about it at the time." Li Qing looked up, "Although this person is stupid, he is quite resilient."
Shang Yang accepted the compliment with restraint.
"At the time, I only thought of this as an episode." Li Qing said: "I always thought of you later on. I thought of you at that time, and thought of that sunny boy, that shining boy on the court..."
Every time he thinks of it, he will feel ashamed and secretly jealous, and then he can't help but yearn for it.
That is the instinctive yearning for light of people in the dark.
He looked at Shang Yang's handsome eyebrows and eyes: "Brother Shang, when you were 15 years old, you could survive, why can't you try again now?"
Shang Yang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Qing smiled and never mentioned this matter again.
The two quietly blew the wind on the river beach for a while.
Li Qing stood up, took the helmet, and said to Shang Yang: "Morning self-study is coming soon, Brother Shang, shall we go back to school to read?"
Shang Yang didn't say anything, but climbed onto the back seat of the motorcycle.
The corners of Li Qing's lips raised unconsciously.
When he returned to the classroom and opened the door, Shang Yang thought he had read it wrong.
Unlike yesterday's depression and depression, today's classroom is full of excitement.For the purpose of questions, those who read books, memorized English, and analyzed learning methods, the voices were noisy and lively.
The faces of the seventeen and eighteen-year-old boys and girls were clean and bloody, and each of them seemed to be burning with a fierce fire.
Seeing Shang Yang and Li Qing coming in, Chen Zhengfei shook a snow-white test paper, and shouted loudly: "Er Yang, hurry up, hurry up, you explained the chemistry problem yesterday, I went back and wrote it, and there is something wrong. Understood, tell me."
Ou Yaya and Lei Tiantian squeezed together, chatting about something.
Hearing this voice, Lei Tiantian also yelled loudly: "Eryang, are you here? Brother Qing is with you, too? The theory of knowledge network that Brother Qing talked about yesterday is very useful. Let's try to make one today. It’s a rough version, let Brother Qing help us take a look.”
Cheng Chengcheng faced the wall, reciting English words hoarsely.
Little Fatty and Big Fatty almost got into a fight over a problem.
Shang Yang was stunned, and then his eyes became hot and his nose hurt.
"It's true that children in rural areas are ignored like weeds, but what they are best at is tenacity and strength." He looked at Shang with a smile, "Everyone is working hard for Teacher Shang. Teacher Shang will not give up, we will not give up, and neither will you. Will give up."
"Brother Shang, let's stick to this miracle together, shall we?"
The author has something to say:
For this chapter, I was stuck for three days in order to write about the turning point in Shang Yang's heart.
It just doesn't feel smooth enough.
The current version is actually not the most satisfactory, but this is the only way.
Let everyone wait for a long time.
