[019] ups and downs

If you write a story summary and recite it, you probably won’t even need ten minutes.

I have a despair of seeing through the world. After I die, later generations mentioned my life and deeds, and they might finish them in less than a minute. By the way, I also discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Generally speaking, people who later generations spend more than ten minutes talking about them are often great men who left a rich reputation in history.

After listening to my story, Ji Jing was silent for a long time.

I noticed her reaction, and to be honest, I was very curious. When the image of my junior high school was completely destroyed, what kind of perspective would she look at me now?

The reason why I can keep calm is that not only I have changed, but she has also changed. She is no longer the same as she back then. This makes me feel that she is not much better than me, and I can't escape the ruthless killing of time.

She brewed her feelings and asked a question that was very deviant: "Did you really pass the last exam in high school?"

I nodded: "Yes."

She looked like she saw through my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys: "Impossible, you are lying to me again. In the past, you played crazy compared to anyone, and your grades were better than anyone else. If you were not careful, you would get the first place in the exam. Even if you fell into high school, you wouldn't be the last one. You must have made it up and teased me."

I was a little confused, not sure whether she was unwilling to believe that the idol had collapsed or that I wouldn't deceive her.

When I was twenty years old, I decided to leave this city. The day before I left, I went to climb Qingcheng Mountain and met an old Taoist priest who gave me eight words: "Big ups and downs, great joy and great sorrow."

At that time, I thought this was a nonsense. Who would not be a big ups and downs in a life?

On my 30th birthday, I suddenly believed this sentence a little.

Looking back carefully about the past thirty years, and comparing it with my friends around me, I found that I was really a little ups and downs, and my life had more ups and downs than them.

I studied in a rural primary school in the first grade of elementary school. The teaching staff of that school was difficult to describe in words. In addition, I was very naughty and had a very poor foundation. At that time, I often pronounced "Oh Oh, touch**" like this. To put it bluntly, I don't know how to pinyin at all.

I transferred to a primary school in the town in the second grade. My grades were 40th and 5th last. Until I was in the third grade of elementary school, I watched a truant Vielong and suddenly realized that I was about to have a relationship.

When dating, you must first find a partner. I fell in love with Xiaofang, the literary and artistic committee member in the class.

I was very unrestrained at that time and I directly confessed to Xiaofang after school.

Unexpectedly, she was more unrestrained than me and said, "I have someone I like."

I asked, "Who do you like?"

She replied: "Liu Zhiwen."

I asked: "Why do you like Liu Zhiwen?"

She said: "Because he takes the first place every time."

I was furious and said a harsh sentence: "You wait for me!"

Later, I was so cruel that I wanted to get the first place in the exam. It was always difficult to succeed if I was too deliberate. I could only curse myself when I watched Liu Zhiwen as a study committee member and a class monitor. Until I was in the sixth volume of elementary school, which was the second semester of the third grade, something changed my destiny.

At that time, I vowed to take the first place in the exam, and decided to work hard secretly and make a brilliant appearance under everyone's unexpected circumstances. Unfortunately, I didn't find the direction of my efforts. For a little boy under ten years old, working hard for several months and not getting results, which was very depressing. I remember that after school that day, I took a paper to the door of the math teacher's office. There were many questions on the paper. I wanted to ask the teacher, but I was embarrassed. Before that, I had never asked the teacher any questions.

I wandered outside the office for a long time, and the bitterness of several months surged into my heart and cried out. It turned out that the child who could cry had milk. My crying alarmed Teacher Zhou, who taught our class mathematics. She was pleased with my magical experience in studying and promised to help me make up for my lessons after school every day.

I will always remember that evening, Teacher Zhou took out dozens of toothpick-like colorful plastic sticks, arranged and combined them continuously, telling me why I got nine, why I was four, four, one six, and why I was five, twenty-five... It's strange that I understood everything I didn't understand before, after that day.

Later, a teacher in my junior high school said: As long as you find the right method, learning is a very simple thing.

This sentence makes a lot of sense. I understood this truth in the third grade of elementary school. I felt that I hadn’t tried much. Teacher Zhou only helped me make up for a week, and I accidentally got the first place in the exam.

Not only did my math grades improve, but my Chinese grades also followed. On the day I first got my first exam in my life, my class teacher and Chinese teacher called me to the office and asked who I copied. I felt very wronged at that time, and Teacher Zhou stood up to speak for me again.

The head teacher was still half-believing and half-doubted, so he took out another set of test papers for me to show him on the spot. That day, in the office, under the strong onlookers of eight teachers and the teaching director, I finished the set of test papers.

The result was shocked to the adults, and finally the experienced director sighed: "This kid is enlightened."

In this way, I went from a poor student to a top student, completing the first big ups and downs in my life.

The fourth grade of elementary school was a sad year for me. Xiaofang hurt me and smiled. Since I got the first place in the exam, she transferred to the school. In the same year, because of her excellent work, Teacher Zhou was transferred to the best primary school in the county. In the years since, every time I sang "There is a pot of Milan in front of the teacher's window", I would think of Teacher Zhou.

After I went to junior high school, I got even more crazy, and I learned to smoke and play arcades and tease girls. At that time, I achieved first place in the class many times. Every time the test results were announced, Ji Jing would turn around and tap my forehead with a pen, and said curiously: "How did your head grow?"

Whenever that time, I was very proud and always looked cool with my hair on my forehead.

My high school years were very chaotic and hard to describe.

I used to think I was very special. After going to high school, I found that there were many people similar to me, and there were also many strong people in the mountains. For example, my friend Abin, who didn’t even take notes in class and always skipped a few classes a week, but his grades were so good that he became the only idol among the thirteen of us who were admitted to a prestigious university.

The opposite of Abin. In high school, I experienced the second ups and downs of my life, and I changed from a top student to a poor student again. At that time, I paid special attention to Denilson because he was called a parallel product. I was also called a parallel product in high school. My grades when I entered school were very high, not long after, my grades were very low. Half a year later, I got the last exam and the last in the whole grade one year later.

"Why are you always distracted? Have you not had a good rest?" Ji Jing stretched out her hand and shook her in front of me, pulling me out of my memories.

"Sorry." I asked a little embarrassedly, "What did you say just now?"

She said: "I'll ask you how you got the last exam?"

I said, "It's very simple, hand in the blank paper."

She asked, "Why?"

I said, "Because I want to make my father unhappy."
