Chapter 50: Going to the rooftop to get some fresh air
After spending the whole day on the exam, Zhai Da was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, the food at home is the most soothing. When I got home, Yu Xiaoli was already serving dishes to the table, while Lu Wei was setting the table.
Wash your hands, put down your schoolbag, and sit at the dining table.
Zhai Da poured Ms. Yu a bowl of soup and said, "We received a notice during the day. From now on, evening self-study will be postponed by half an hour, and morning self-study will be advanced by half an hour. If you two are hungry for dinner from now on, you can eat first. I will come back and eat the leftovers."
Yu Xiaoli frowned slightly: "Delayed again? Son, are you really going to study?"
Zhai Da glanced at his mother and thought, what do you think Lu Wei and I do every night? Researching artificial humans?
Yu Xiaoli said seriously, "Actually, if you want, I can go to school and tell the teacher that I won't be attending the evening self-study class."
She quite likes the recent atmosphere.
In fact, as the college entrance examination approaches, the gap between those who do not study and those who do will become larger and larger. With this round of new rules, it is estimated that many people will take leave to study in the evening.
If parents strongly request, even the school will have to agree. Half of those who do not come will hire tutors or attend cram schools, and the other half may simply help with chores at home.
Zhai Da remembered that in the last month of his previous life, there were at least ten fewer people in the classroom, and some people even went to work early to save a month's detour.
Among them are Wu Yue and Fan Junwei. The former works as a waiter in her own restaurant, while the latter is unaware of it.
Don’t say that we don’t value our child’s studies. For three years, if he had given any sign that he was capable of studying well, his family wouldn’t have asked him to go back home to serve dishes.
People in small towns are different from those in big cities. They also attach great importance to education, but they are not as stubborn.
In the bulk province, there are many people who are uneducated but still make money.
Zhai Da originally wanted to shake his head to reject Yu Xiaoli's proposal, but then he thought...it seemed that it was not impossible.
The woolen mill has been very idle recently, and Lu Wei gets off work early. If she comes back early from evening study, it might be more efficient to do all the tutoring. If she learns a little, she will have at least six hours a day to herself.
"Okay then, when you're free, go talk to the school. But I also need to study when I get home... Yeah, with Lu Wei."
Yu Xiaoli's eyes narrowed but she didn't refute. In her opinion, Zhai Da's academic performance was like Schrödinger's.
It seems like I'm learning, but it also seems like I'm not learning...
After eating and washing the dishes, Zhai Da wiped his hands and looked towards Lu Wei's room.
Usually at this time, Lu Wei would be asked to be the tutor.
But today, he had something else he wanted to talk to Lu Wei about.
Time was running out, so Zhai Da decided to change places.
When someone knocked on Lu Wei's door, Xiangxiang's tutor seemed to be prepared and came out with a notebook in her arms.
Zhai Da shook his head and said, "Would you like to go for a walk with me?"
Yu Xiaoli pricked up her ears while watching on TV.
Lu Wei didn't understand, but nodded anyway.
Zhai Da took Lu Wei and walked out of the door, but at the end of the corridor, they did not go down.
Instead, he chose to go up.
This strange residential building has only four floors. At the end of the stairs is an iron door, and outside is a rooftop.
There was nothing on the rooftop. At first, an old man raised pigeons there. The smell was terrible, but later the neighbors stewed them until they were almost full, so he stopped raising pigeons.
The shabby community without property management is unattended. There is a padlock on the door that cannot be closed, just to prevent the wind from blowing it open. After Zhai Da entered the rebellious period in junior high school, he would occasionally come up and pretend to be deep, lamenting the stupidity of the world and saying that he could not read the heart of a young man.
The month after I read "The Three Gates of Honor" was a severely affected period.
If those thoughts were recorded in words, the embarrassment would probably be even greater than the content in "Joker's Love Letter".
There are not many young people in this building, most of them are elderly people. Now that no one is raising pigeons, he is basically the only one who comes up.
Zhai Da brought Lu Wei to the door and was about to take off the padlock, but he saw a sticky note with words written on it.
"Xiao Da, Mommy loves you."
The sticky notes are gathering dust.
Zhai Da was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly understood.
It should have been posted by Yu Xiaoli right after the "fainting in the exam room" incident. It goes without saying what she was worried about.
Zhai Da laughed a little, but also felt warm.
Opening the iron gate, the view suddenly opens up.
It was windy tonight, and I bumped into the girl behind me.
Lu Wei was too thin and could hardly stand steadily, so she subconsciously grabbed Zhai Da's clothes.
And Zhai Da took Lu Wei's hand.
The cool and delicate touch reminded Zhai Da of a word.
tender catkins.
Zhai Da looked at the empty rooftop with some emotion. For him, who was reborn, the last time he went here was one night in his previous life when he was dealing with the matter of "tenant being caught running a business", which had been four or five years ago.
At that time, each of us sat on the rooftop with a glass of beer for an hour, witnessing the setting sun getting colder and the distance between us.
Facts have proved that even if you drive a Maybach back to your hometown, it is meaningless if the right person is not waiting for you.
Revisiting an old place is ultimately like an adult trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat.
Zhai Da turned around and climbed up the protruding structure where the stairs were located, which was about one and a half meters high, then pulled Lu Wei up and the two sat side by side.
Lu Wei looked at the thousands of lights in the distance and was fascinated for a moment. She wondered if she had come up earlier, would she still be able to see the sunset?
Hug your knees tightly and rest your chin on them.
Only girls with long legs and lithe bodies can do this.
Zhai Da admired the legs and the night view for a while, then said, "I've been a tutor for a few days now. How do you feel?"
Lu Wei came back to her senses: "Very good, you are progressing very quickly and have a strong memory..."
"Do you think I can get into university if I continue to develop in this direction?"
Lu Wei said firmly: "Of course I can."
"What about one?"
'A great opportunity'
"What if it's a key university? The ones with numbers on them."
Lu Wei was more cautious this time: "It will take more effort, and some luck and performance."
Zhai Da nodded, agreeing with his judgment.
Of course, if we take into account the enrollment chaos and quota mismatch caused by the first year of the new regulations in 2008, this probability can be magnified a lot.
"I originally thought, you be my tutor, I will pay you..."
Lu Wei immediately said, "I don't want money."
"I know you're disgusted with money and think it's a dirty thing. This is the most bizarre personality trait I've ever heard of. A vulgar person like me thinks it's simply unbelievable."
Lu Wei didn't say anything. The 1.7-meter-tall girl curled up into a small ball.
Zhai Da leaned back slightly with his hands propped up. "So I'm not going to give you money now. I've changed my mindset. How about you tutor me in science and I tutor you in liberal arts?"
Lu Wei looked puzzled.
Zhai Da pointed at himself and said, "My Chinese is pretty good, especially my writing. My English is mainly about memorizing words, and I have a unique learning method. With a few tools, your learning efficiency will be very high."
Lu Wei shook her head: "It's useless for me to learn these."
"Learn, there is no such thing as a useless governor."
"Why? Wouldn't this just waste your time?"
Zhai Da stretched out his hand and passed it behind Lu Wei's ear.
With a rub of his fingers, an A4 paper folded into a small card appeared in his hand, as if it was taken out from the void behind his ear.
A little magic trick is actually hidden in the wide sleeves of the school uniform.
Lu Wei was very surprised, but unfortunately the system still did not prompt him that the "close-up magic" was successful.
Zhai Da curled his lips and placed the small card in Lu Wei's palm.
"Open it and take a look."
Lu Wei opened it and took a look. It said "Instructions for Compulsory Subject Level Test".
It was exactly what Ding Rong distributed at school today.
She had not been exposed to the new 2008 regulations, so she was unfamiliar with them. There was a lot of content and she didn't know where to look.
Zhai Da pointed to a line of small characters and said, "Look here."
With the help of moonlight and lamplight, Lu Wei could barely see the contents on it.
"Registration and information modification for this exam... The deadline is April 15th. For specific information, please visit the official website of the Bulk Provincial Examination Institute..."
But she still didn't understand what this had to do with her.
Zhai Da said sincerely, "You know, taking the college entrance exam is everyone's right, right? Don't you often see news stories about university security guards getting into our school, or about forty-year-old men taking the college entrance exam for the 20th time?"
"It just so happens that this year is the first year of the new 2008 regulations, and the authorities anticipated that there might be problems. All the procedures related to the college entrance examination, registration, and modification deadlines have been significantly delayed."
There was finally a ripple in those big, emotionless eyes.
"Lu Wei, let's take the college entrance examination together this year."
A gust of night wind blew.
The girl's thoughts are more tangled than the hair on her forehead.
