Chapter 20 Approaching the College Entrance Examination
The youth is flying high. On the track and field, each class is marching in line, shouting slogans as they enter.
When it was Luo Xiao's class' turn, they shouted out the slogan they had set previously.
"Class 1, Grade 2! Extraordinary! Class 1, Grade 2 will win!"
As each class finished lining up to enter the venue and the school leaders gave speeches, warm applause welcomed the sports meeting of their school, which officially kicked off.
Luo Xiao and Cheng Chen did not participate in any event because they were both responsible for logistics.
The crayfish were also cooked in the class teacher's dormitory. Luo Xiao was in charge of it, and Cheng Chen assisted him. So, when other classes were eating fruits hungrily, the style of Class 1, Grade 2 suddenly changed.
In their class area, the fragrance simply attracted everyone's attention.
On a hot day, ice cola and ice Sprite, paired with spicy crayfish with edible ice cubes, are simply too hateful.
"Old Qian, your class is really troublesome..." said the head teacher of the science class of Grade 12 to Qian Feng.
"Hey, no, no, the students just want to eat meat. The shrimps are free, the students caught them themselves." Qian Feng specifically mentioned that the shrimps were free, lest anyone say it was too extravagant.
In fact, in his opinion, the prices of apples, oranges and bananas were not that cheap. Oranges were sour, and apples were hard and sour. They were not as comfortable as crayfish with iced drinks.
"No money?"
"Well, there are plenty of them in the ditches beside the fields, but it's a little difficult to clean and cook them. However, our students don't have to worry about hard work. Strength lies in numbers, so they can finish it quickly. The most important thing is to cook it well. The real stuff is rampant in the surrounding area, but not many people eat it. It's not because there is not much meat, or people don't know how to cook it. Those who know how to cook it can do it just like Lao Chen's braised meat shop. The braised shrimps are delicious." Qian Feng looked at the students who were eating happily, and he was happy too.
"That's right. After all, Cheng Chen is in your class." The other party felt a little regretful.
"Hehe, almost, almost." Qian Feng would never say that it was Luo Xiao who made the crayfish. What if he said it and others came to borrow it? He is now a second year of high school and should focus on studying.
In this sports meet, the amazing performances of Luo Xiao and his classmates were truly memorable, especially the red and appetizing crayfish that made people drool. After the sports meet, the crayfish sold by Lao Chen's stewed meat welcomed a buying peak.
It also indirectly helped the Cheng Chen family advertise, so naturally Luo Xiao, as a shareholder, also made a profit.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and it seems like it was just yesterday when they entered this high school, and now they have already reached their senior year.
Unlike the relaxed feeling in the first and second year of high school, the third year of high school is very tense.
The closer we get to the college entrance examination, the greater the pressure we feel.
When one person starts to get excited, others will follow suit. When there are more people getting excited, the whole environment will become equally exciting.
There is less playing and fighting, and more reading, doing exercises and memorizing words.
After Luo Xiao finished writing a test paper, he looked through the window at the branches and leaves of the camphor tree in the flower bed downstairs that had grown to the top of their third floor.
These trees were not so tall when they entered the school. Now, after being with them for three years, the trees have become much taller.
Everything is changing, and changing for the better.
During these three years, his biological parents never contacted him once and completely treated him as if he did not exist. As time passed, it seemed that after he finished the college entrance examination, their village would be officially demolished.
By then, it is unknown whether his father, who only does things for the benefit of the people, will come back. But even if he does, it will be too late because the property certificate will only have his name on it.
Luo Xiao only wanted the money. He was not interested in the resettlement housing as compensation. He would take the money and buy a house in the city where he had been admitted to university. The value of that house would appreciate much faster than the one in this town in the future and would be much greater.
I was thinking about something and just staring out the window in a daze.
It wasn't until Cheng Chen gently patted his wrist that Luo Xiao came back to his senses.
"Are you worried about your coming-of-age ceremony?" Cheng Chen asked in a low voice.
Luo Xiao hadn't reacted yet and looked at Cheng Chen with a confused look.
"I say, are you worried about your coming-of-age ceremony?" Seeing his confused look, Cheng Chen was very sure that he didn't hear what he said, so he repeated it.
Now Luo Xiao understood.
Coming of age ceremony, so this is what it is.
Their school is newly established, so everything is innovative, including this new coming-of-age ceremony, which requires parents to accompany their children to hold a lively coming-of-age ceremony.
In fact, most of the students are already 19 years old, and more have just turned 18, so the coming-of-age ceremony activity was decided.
Cheng Chen knew Luo Xiao's family situation, so he thought he was worried about his coming-of-age ceremony.
"I have already told my parents. One of them will accompany me and the other will accompany you. Don't worry about being alone. My parents are your parents." Cheng Chen decided not to keep it to himself and told Luo Xiao about it directly.
After listening to what he said, Luo Xiao felt a little surprised, but also deeply moved.
He was not afraid that others would look at him strangely because he was not accompanied by his parents. He was just touched by Cheng Chen's parents, who had been so good to him in the past few years.
In his previous life, after his grandfather passed away, no one remembered his birthday anymore. After all, he was blind in one eye at that time and wanted to find a job, but because he was a disabled person and had a low level of education, he couldn't find any place willing to hire him.
Throughout his life, Cheng Chen and his parents celebrated his birthday for him every year.
It can be said that they treated him almost like another child.
Luo Xiao's nose felt a little sour.
Cheng Chen looked at his expression and knew that he was touched. He didn't say anything, but just threw his test paper over to him and asked him to help correct it.
Luo Xiao rolled his eyes and honestly helped him correct the test paper.
It’s the final sprint, and they agreed to apply to the same university. No one wants to fall behind anyone else, and they want to improve and move forward together.
