Chapter 3: Like-minded
The next day, he woke up just after dawn in the distance. He put on his clothes quietly, fearing to disturb everyone's sleep. He quietly pulled out the suitcase under the bed, and gently dug out a few of his rummaged-over books.
Colorful English books.
Can I pass the entrance exam? Yuanshan asked himself secretly, the neighbors at home, the folks in my grandparents’ village all knew that I went north to study. If I didn’t pass the exam and was kicked back from school, how could my father have the face?
Meet someone!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shan's heart tightened. He held the English textbook in his hand. He opened the door of the dormitory and stepped out of the dormitory gently. It was not yet bright, so be careful not to disturb the classmates. Just as Yuan Shan returned
When he was about to close the door, he suddenly discovered that Li Ran, who was on the upper bunk above him, had disappeared. Only the shoulder bag was left lying quietly on Li Ran's bed.
Where would he go so early? Why didn't I notice when he got off the upper bunk? Yuan Shan thought about it and walked out of the dormitory building.
The air was crisp in the northern morning at the end of August. Yuanshan took a deep breath and looked up at the big clock in the main building of the campus. The hands happened to be pointing at 5:00. The street lights from the dormitory leading to the main building were still on, and there were still signs in the sky.
There was less than half a shadow of the sun, and the white light of the street lamps hit the concrete floor of the street. Somehow, Yuanshan felt like probes shining into his heart, making him feel a little nervous. The streets on campus are about 4-5 meters wide.
, extending from the dormitory towards the main building, Yuanshan looked up along the street. There was a figure standing under the street lamp on the street, about 50 meters away from him. Yuanshan squinted his eyes and looked at it. It seemed that this person should be about the same age.
Similar to himself, he is about 1.7 meters tall and has a well-proportioned figure. He wears a short-sleeved white sweatshirt on his upper body, a pair of white sweatpants on his lower body, and a pair of white sneakers on his feet. He looks particularly clean and tidy under the illumination of the street lamp.
I was holding a book in my hand and was reading it attentively. A breeze blew across my face, and the leaves of two rows of locust trees parallel to the street also trembled slightly with the wind. I felt a lot more relaxed in the distant mountains.
Yuan Shan walked along the street towards the figure. When he was about two or three meters away, he suddenly realized that wasn't Li Ran from the bunk above him? I asked him why there was no trace of him. It turned out to be here.
"Li Ran" Yuanshan called softly, as if he was afraid of breaking the peaceful atmosphere in front of him.
Li Ran obviously didn't hear and didn't answer. In the distance, all he could hear was Li Ran's loud reading, which sounded like he was reciting an article from a high school English textbook.
"Li Ran" Yuan Shan walked to Li Ran's side. He wanted to pat his shoulder lightly, but stretched out his hand, but somehow he silently retracted it.
At this time, Li Ran also heard the distant mountains calling his name. He quickly glanced at the textbook, as if he was afraid that he would forget what he had just read. Then he hesitantly raised his head and looked at the distant mountains. At a glance, he knew that he had not read yet.
Relax from the textbook.
"Well, morning." Seeing Yuanshan, Li Ran was obviously a little surprised: "Why did you get up so early?"
"I want to read a book." Yuan Shan also felt it at this time. He felt a little embarrassed for disturbing Li Ran's reading.
"I haven't gone to high school. I don't want to take advantage of these few days to catch up on my high school English classes. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble if I fail to pass the entrance exam." Li Ran grinned at Yuanshan and said, "You're much better, listen.
He said the tests were all about high school English.”
"I'm also afraid that I won't be able to pass English." Yuan Shan looked at Li Ran with an embarrassed expression.
"Oh" Li Ran saw Yuan Shan's uneasiness, patted Yuan Shan on the shoulder like a big brother and said, "Don't be afraid, we all paid for admission, the exam won't be too difficult, and we won't take it too hard."
Return the money to us and tell us to go home."
"Ah, yes." Yuan Shan suddenly felt that a stone that had been weighing on his heart for several days was loosened. He scratched his head with his hand and said, "What you said makes sense. Why didn't I think of that?"
"The most important thing is that I can follow him in the class, learn more skills, and become a useful person in the future." Li Ran is always like a big brother. Standing in front of him, the distant mountains feel safer.
"Yes, be a promising person," Yuanshan replied, "Study hard and develop your skills."
Come to a big city to study, and you will be able to work and settle down here in the future. Bringing your parents here to live will make everyone in the village envious. Yuanshan seems to have seen his future in more than ten years, and he feels very happy. For a few days
The tension and fear that I had felt all of a sudden disappeared.
Dang, Dang, Dang... The bells from the main building shattered the illusion of distant mountains, like a giant god standing on the barren land, reaching out and grabbing the distant mountains with wings from the clouds.
, and was dragged to the ground hard.
"Yeah, it's already six o'clock." Li Ran looked flustered as if he had lost something precious: "Let's study quickly. We will meet in the lecture theater at eight o'clock."
"Well, yes, yes." Yuan Shan returned to reality, picked up his yellowed textbook, and started reading aloud.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun jumped up to the east end of the main building of the college. The street lights quietly went out at some point. At the end of the street, a cleaner in a blue coat, holding a broom in his right hand,
She was sweeping something into the dustpan on her left hand. There was a three-wheeled human sanitation truck parked next to her. On the other side of the dormitory, there was also movement. Occasionally, one or two classmates could be seen walking out of the dormitory door. On the street.
The leaves of the locust trees on both sides looked green and full of life, and the chirping of birds could be heard from time to time on the trees.
Study hard and be a useful person. Yuan Shan whispered to himself secretly. A thin warm current surged from the bottom of his heart. The warm current flowed unconsciously in the body and gradually penetrated into the blood. In the past few days,
The panic and anxiety were slowly melted away by this warm current unconsciously.
Looking at Li Ran, dressed in white, holding a book and reading, he found a like-minded partner in the distant mountains. It was like seeing the sun gradually brightening the sky.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm fine here." Yuanshan raised his head and glanced quietly in the direction of his hometown. He silently made a wish in his heart: "I want to be capable and promising, and I will bring you and my mother here in the future.
Come stay and enjoy yourself”
My mood became more relaxed, and somehow I became more efficient in reading. In one hour, Yuan Shan read a book twice. The bell in the main building rang again.
"Let's go, it's seven o'clock." Li Ran closed the textbook in his hand and said to Yuan Shan, "We will gather at 8:00."
"Yeah, I haven't brushed my teeth and washed my face yet," Yuan Shan made a face at Li Ran and said mischievously.
