go to school
"I won't go!" Tong Xiaolai came out of the principal's office of the No. 1 Middle School with a dark face.
Shao Linyin couldn't stop him, and at that moment, he suddenly regretted that he had let himself gain weight during this period of time!
I remember he was like a little kid holding a chicken, but now he is only one month old and he can't even hold it anymore!
"Xiaolai, why are you so angry?"
He first apologized to the principal and asked him to give him some more time, then he pretended to be angry and chased after her.
Tong Xiaolai walked down the stairs without stopping. Shao Liyin quickly chased after him: "Tong Xiaolai, stop!"
Tong Xiaolai stopped and looked back at him with red eyes.
"Xiaolai, don't you want to go to school?" Shao Linyin stared into his eyes seriously, as if he could see through the lie immediately if he told it.
Tong Xiaolai stared at him, but didn't answer his question. "I'll be sixteen next year. When I turn sixteen, I can go to the factory and start earning money. I won't earn less than you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shao Linyin interrupted him, "I don't care whether you earn more or less than me! You are still studying now, do what your age should do, why are you thinking about working in a factory now?"
"What about you?"
Shao Liyin was stunned for a moment...
"You're also at the age to study. Why did you put away your self-study exam books?" Tong Xiaolai raised his hand and covered his eyes with the back of his hand, suppressing the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes. Then he put it down again, his eyes showing a complicated expression. "So all your abnormal behavior these past few days is because you're worried about studying for me?"
Shao Liyin turned away: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have been so entangled..."
"Who have you let down?" Tong Xiaolai practically roared, "Shao Linyin! Who have you let down? The only person you've let down is yourself! Can you please think about yourself?
Yes, you shouldn't be so entangled. What's the point of being entangled in such things?
You obviously want to go to school so much, and you have been preparing for the self-study exam for so long, so you should just stop thinking about it and do what you want to do.
Why do you worry about me and then give up for me? Who am I to you? I am worthy of you doing this."
Shao Liyin looked at Tong Xiaolai, whose eyes were red with anger and who was trying hard to hold back tears. She really didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.
She reached out and held him, coaxing him kindly: "Xiaolai, I really treat you as a relative, my dear brother. After my mother left, I had no relatives. You are my only relative now. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"
"Shao Liyin, I came to you not to be your brother, nor to drag you into the abyss."
Shao Liyin lowered her head slightly and looked at him, then held his face with both hands, a smile on her face, and said very seriously: "Xiao Lai, you don't know that the abyss you pulled me out of will only bring light in the future."
The midsummer wind blew through the phoenix forest behind him. The fiery red phoenix flowers like clouds were reflected and swayed in Shao Linyin's smiling and serious eyes. A little child was smiling in the middle, carrying him forward and giving him a brilliant light.
He raised his hands to open Shao Liyin's hands that were holding his cheeks, turned his head, and sat down on a bench beside him: "How can a brother hold his younger brother like this?"
Shao Liyin looked at him, rubbed his hair after sitting down next to him, and his short hair had grown longer and was no longer prickly. He sat down next to him: "What's wrong? As your brother, can't I touch your face? You've even rubbed the mud off..."
Tong Xiaolai raised his head and glared at him: "Don't mention this all the time!"
Shao Linyin smiled: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." He leaned back in his chair and looked at the students who occasionally passed by. They were all high school students who were asked to come for remedial classes during the summer vacation. They all looked energetic.
That’s great, I hope his family will be like this in the future!
Shao Linyin couldn't help but touch his pocket, remembered something, and laughed at himself again. This thing is really addictive.
Tong Xiao watched him search his pockets, and his face, which had finally brightened up, darkened again: "Looking for cigarettes?"
Shao Liyin was a little embarrassed: "No, what are you talking about? I didn't buy that thing." After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't interrupt me, you have to go to this school. I have paid the school selection fee. If you don't go, the money will be wasted."
"How many?"
"What?"
“School selection fee.”
"Ah, two... thousand. Don't underestimate two thousand. I only make three thousand a month. So, do you want me to work for nothing?"
Shao Liyin lowered his head and said nothing. After a long silence, he said, "Grade one."
"What?"
"I'll go straight to the first year of high school."
"Don't make a fuss. You dropped out of school in the first grade. If you can't keep up in class, it's all in vain. Besides, the principal might not agree."
"I can do it." He looked up at Shao Liyin with a firm look in his eyes, "Take me to see the principal."
Shao Linyin was stunned and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Tong Xiaolai had already stood up and walked towards the principal's office.
When I reached the principal's office, I heard Tong Xiaolai say directly, "Give me this year's high school entrance exam papers. Only if I pass can I be accepted."
The principal was a little hesitant. After all, the high school entrance examination had ended for some time, and all the test papers that should be made public had been made public.
Tong Xiaolai added, "We can also ask your high school teachers to come up with a set of entrance exams." He paused, "I don't intend to add extra workload to everyone.
Or, just use the exam papers from your current high school make-up class and give me a copy."
The principal and Shao Liyin both stared at Tong Xiaolai in amazement...
Shao Liyin numbly tugged at the corner of Tong Xiaolai's clothes: "Xiaolai, there's no need to be like this... Education is compulsory now, and two years of junior high school doesn't cost much..."
Tong Xiaolai ignored him, pursed her lips and said nothing, but looked at the principal with a firm gaze, which showed great confidence.
The principal looked at him with interest and said, "Are you sure a sophomore can do it?"
Tong Xiaolai hesitated.
The principal thought it was just the youth's arrogance. Now that he had calmed down, he wanted to back out, but then he heard Tong Xiaolai say again: "If my score reaches the average score of the current sophomores, can I go straight to the sophomore year?"
Shao Liyin:!!!
The principal looked at the ignorant young man in front of him and said, "If you haven't achieved that, don't even think about going to high school. Just go to junior high school and study hard."
"Okay. The principal's word is his. When is the exam?"
The principal smiled and said, "I'll give you a week to prepare. Next Monday, the teacher will grade your paper on the spot. If you can, you can go straight into the class to study with us."
Just as the two were about to leave, they were stopped by the principal. Seeing their confused expressions, the principal smiled even more brightly: "You haven't been to high school, right? Don't you know that there are arts and science majors in the second year of high school?"
Shao Liyin: ..., turned his head to look at Tong Xiaolai.
Tong Xiaolai: ..., his expressionless face revealed a sense of confusion that he was trying to hide.
"So, are you going to take the liberal arts or science exam?" The principal leaned back in his chair and looked at Tong Xiaolai with a slightly raised eyebrow.
Tong Xiaolai was silent for a moment before speaking: "Which one is harder? Which one will be easier to find a job in the future?"
The principal raised his eyebrows. "Both of these questions are individual and should be tailored to your situation."
Tong Xiaolai didn't know what was suitable for him.
The principal added, "Our high school's science department is a key school in the city, and students with excellent grades receive generous scholarships."
Tong Xiaolai said without hesitation: "Then science."
Shao Liyin: ...
Tong Xiaolai was taken home by Shao Linyin, and they were silent all the way.
"Brother Li..."
Shao Linyin didn't say anything.
"Brother Li, please believe me."
"I believe you, but I'm afraid you'll have to work hard."
"Brother Li, it's just studying, it's not that hard."
"..." After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but want to blame, "Where do you get your confidence from? You only studied in the first grade of junior high school, but you know the test points for the second grade of high school?"
Tong Xiaolai sat back in his chair and was silent for a while. Then he said in a muffled and somewhat shameless voice, "I am a genius."
Shao Liyin: ...I am a clown.
