Wang Mo returned to the classroom and came back to the sound of the bell. The teacher who had already arrived in the classroom did not say anything after seeing it.
Seeing that Wang Mo was back, Xiang Nanfang wanted to say something to Wang Mo several times, but he opened his mouth and finally did not say anything.
After school at noon, Wang Mo was about to go home. Suddenly, Xiang Nanfang found him.
"Wang Mo, don't go back to eat at noon. I invite you to eat outside!" Xiang Nanfang said.
Wang Mo smiled and said, "It's not a holiday today and there's no special occasion. What kind of meal are you treating me to?"
Xiang Nanfang didn't want to talk too much nonsense to him, so he said angrily, "Come or not, if you don't come, I'll eat it myself."
"Come on, why don't you come? I can benefit from you now. The food in the restaurant will definitely be better than the food at home!" Wang Mo said after a few steps to catch up with Xiang Nanfang.
However, Wang Mo still found a senior senior in high school who lived not far from him, and asked him to go back and give a message to his mother, saying that he had something to do at school and would not go back for lunch.
After settling everything, Wang Mo asked, "Let's go, where are you going to invite me to dinner?"
"As long as it's not too far from the school, you can choose any place." Xiang Nanfang's words were so plain but domineering.
After looking around on the street, Wang Mo suddenly saw a small shop selling duck blood and vermicelli soup. Wang Mo pointed there and said, "Let's go there!"
Following the direction he pointed, Xiang Nanfang saw it was a small store, frowned and said, "Let's find another one!"
It's not that Xiang Nanfang thinks the restaurant is unclean, but because he invited Wang Mo to dinner, he always feels that going to such a shabby place makes him look stingy.
"What do you know? Those big restaurants are all about the environment and service, but if you want to eat well, only small restaurants like this have the smell of fireworks."
Seeing that Xiang Nanfang was still hesitating, Wang Mo took her hand and said as he walked, "Hurry up, otherwise there will be no room for a while."
Wang Mo didn't see that when he took Xiang Nanfang's hand, Xiang Nanfang's face turned red. He was like a puppet, letting Wang Mo lead him.
In fact, Wang Mo didn't mean anything else. He didn't have the conservative ideas of this era, and his ideas still remained in later generations.
Isn't it normal for classmates to hold hands occasionally, and he always obeys the authority when urgent matters arise.
When the two were crossing the road, no one saw them in the distance. Song Qingyuan looked at the scene of them holding hands in surprise.
"What's going on? They developed this secretly, and they even hid it from me?" Song Qingyuan murmured to himself.
After crossing the road, Wang Mo let go of her hand. When Wang Mo let go, there was a trace of reluctance and relaxation in Xiang Nanfang's eyes.
After walking a few steps, Wang Mo found that Xiang Nanfang hadn't spoken for a long time. Looking back, he found that her face had turned red for some time.
So Wang Mo asked, "What's wrong with you? You're so hot just after running a few steps. Isn't this the weather that's not enough?"
Wang Mo looked up at the weather. Although there was a bit of heat, there was more cool wind.
Xiang Nanfang was afraid that he would see something, so he walked a few steps quickly and said, "It's nothing. Let's go quickly, otherwise we will really run out of space in a while."
Although this store is small, it can be seen that the taste is not bad, because it is already full of customers before 12 noon.
When Wang Mo and Xiang Nannan came in, two guests happened to have just finished eating and stood up to leave. Wang Mo quickly went over to occupy a seat and asked Xiang Nannan to sit down.
As the party being treated, Wang Mo didn't know what politeness was and shouted loudly, "Boss, two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup and three pancakes."
"Okay, you have a drink of water first and wait a moment!" the landlady said as she came over and cleared the table.
After the landlady left, Xiang Nanfang said, "You want three pancakes, can you eat them?"
"Don't worry, except for the one you have, I'm afraid I won't have enough food for two!"
Wang Mo is growing up at this time. Although the situation of Aunt Wu's family is much better than that of Qiao's family, ordinary people living in this era are destined to not always have oil and water at home. Without oil and water in their stomachs, their appetite will be limited.
It will be very big, and it will not resist hunger.
Xiang Nanfang also likes this way of getting along with Wang Mo.
Because Xiang Nanfang has a special family, she actually had several classmates and good friends from ordinary families.
But after getting along for a long time, especially Xiang Nanfang's daily living habits were incompatible with them, and occasionally Xiang Nanfang would bring some snacks they had never seen before, those friends would become more and more jealous when they faced Xiang Nanfang later.
Being cautious also made Xiang Nanfang drift away from them.
Xiang Nanfang also wants some friends, but the facts tell her that as she gets older, the only ones left by her side are friends like Huang Xiaoyue and Song Qingyuan, whose families are similar to hers. p>
This is not the first time that Wang Mo has behaved in such a way that he does not know what politeness is. In the past year, Wang Mo has followed Xiang Nanfang to open a small stove. In Wang Mo's own words, he feels as if he is being taken care of by Xiang Nanfang.
!
His words were naturally dissatisfied by Xiang Nanfang, but precisely because of his unpretentious approach, not to mention Xiang Nanfang, even Huang Xiaoyue looked at Wang Mo differently.
After a while, the duck blood vermicelli soup came. Wang Mo helped the boss lady bring the things to the table. He saw that there were no more peppers in the box where the peppers were placed, so he said, "Boss, please give me some peppers. How can I eat without peppers?"
Ah!"
"Would you like it?" Wang Mohei put in two spoons of chili and asked Xiang Nanfang.
Xiang Nanfang shook his head. She is not as heavy on taste as Wang Mo. Her living habits are more like those of a Jiangnan woman, mainly light.
"It's so satisfying. This is how you can be full. Those big restaurants you just mentioned are not as delicious as this one!" Wang Mo said after taking a bite.
Seeing Wang Mo sweating profusely after eating, Xiang Nannan handed him a tissue and said, "Wipe it off, your head is covered in sweat."
Xiang Nanfang's appetite is very small. He only ate half a pancake and half a bowl of vermicelli soup, and he was already full.
Although she eats less, her way of eating slowly and carefully is not as fast as Wang Mo's.
"By the way, you suddenly invited me to dinner today. There must be something wrong, right?" Wang Mo wiped his mouth and asked.
Xiang Nanfang thought about it and said, "I heard that you are going to graduate early?"
"I thought it was something. It's just this. It's not a secret in school. Yes, I have asked Lao Dai to register for me to take the college entrance examination this year. If nothing else happens, next semester I will
I probably won’t come.”
Although Xiang Nanfang knew it was true when she heard the news, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Wang Mo say it himself.
In the past seventeen years of Xiang Nanfang's ignorance, she had never felt this way.
When facing a boy, she will get angry easily because of his words, and she will also burst into tears immediately because of his words.
She would not talk to him for months and have a cold war, and she could not help thinking about him in the dead of night when she couldn't sleep.
She would try to surpass him in studies, but it turns out that this can only be in vain, and in the end it can only turn into worship.
At her blossoming age, she couldn't control her emotions. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She just knew that she would never see Wang Mo in school again, and she would feel a little lost and confused in her heart.
Empty.
Seeing that something was wrong with Xiang Nanfang's mood, Wang Mo joked, "What's wrong with you? You don't want to cry. You, Xiang Nanfang, are not such a sentimental person. I have never seen you so angry with me when I first met you."
You cry."
Wang Mo's interruption made this sad atmosphere disappear.
Xiang Nanfang hit him angrily and said, "Fuck you, you're crying because I feel a little disappointed when I think about not being able to sit at the same table with you again next semester."
"Don't worry, it's not like we are separated by life or death. We are both in Jinling. There will be more opportunities to meet each other in the future. Maybe we will go to university in the same city in the future!"
After Xiang Nanfang paid, the two of them came out and walked towards the school.
"By the way, are you sure which city you want to go to college in?" Although Xiang Nanfang had some guesses, he still asked curiously.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll see the score then, but I think it should be in the north!" Wang Mo looked towards the north. He wanted to achieve something, and the most suitable place is there.
Aunt Wu couldn't hold back her words. It didn't take long for the neighbors in Shamao Lane to know that Wang Mo was going to graduate early and take the college entrance examination.
No, several women were standing in the alley, complimenting Aunt Wu.
"Xiao Mo, that kid, I've always thought he would have a big future in the future. As expected, he graduated from high school after only two years of high school. Girls from the Wu family, you have a literary star in your family!"<
/p>
The neighbor's words made Aunt Wu laugh so hard that her mouth burst into tears, but she still waved her hands and said, "Oh, you can't talk nonsense about Wen Quxing. Xiao Mo has to continue to work hard. After all, there is college after high school!" While several people were talking, Qiao Yicheng came back from school and passed by several women.
Qiao Yicheng heard clearly what they said just now. After saying hello to a few people, Qiao Yicheng quickly returned home.
Simei and Sanli had already returned from school. When Simei saw her eldest brother coming back, she hurried over and said, "Brother, I'm starving to death. When are we going to eat?"
But today, Qiao Yicheng had no intention of cooking at all, and said to Erqiang, "Erqiang, go and cook. I'm a little uncomfortable today."
When the younger brothers and sisters heard that their elder brother was not feeling well, they hurriedly asked him what was wrong. Finally, Qiao Yicheng was able to send them away.
He lay on the bed and looked at the bed board above. He did not expect that Wang Mo would graduate so soon.
To be honest, Qiao Yicheng admires Wang Mo very much.
I don’t see him studying very well, but it still took him two years to graduate. And based on his grades in the past two years, I’m afraid his college entrance examination results this time won’t be too bad.
It's not like Qiao Yicheng has never seen geniuses before. Qi Weimin, his second aunt's cousin, can be said to be very outstanding in studies, but compared with Wang Mo, he is a bit dwarfed.
This is also the reason why Qiao Yicheng is not so jealous and hostile towards Wang Mo, because he has used Wang Mo to fight back against Qi Weimin more than once.
Wang Mo is just his neighbor, but Qi Weimin is his cousin. People are often jealous of the people closest to them.
"You are going to a broader world. It seems that I have to work harder." Qiao Yicheng murmured to himself while lying on the bed.
In fact, Qiao Yicheng was not bad at studying in their school, on the contrary, he was very good.
But his school is just an ordinary high school. As the saying goes, if the tallest person is chosen among the shortest, he will not be much better no matter how tall he is.
In the past, although Qiao Yicheng knew that he was not as good as Wang Mo and Qi Weimin, he was still much better than others, so he was still a little proud of his studies.
But after being so stimulated by Wang Mo, Qiao Yicheng realized that he was really a frog in the well before.
As the saying goes, no matter how big your goal is, even if you fail to achieve it in the end, it will be much better than the low goal you set at the beginning.
At this time, Qiao Yicheng was in this situation. He set Wang Mo as his goal. When he thought about his current results, he realized that he should work harder.
The college entrance examination in the early 1980s was still held on July, August, and September in July, and you had to take the college entrance examination. You didn’t just take it if you wanted to. One was registration and the other was a screening test. Even if you were a senior high school student, if
If you fail the screening test, you will not be able to take the college entrance examination.
Even students like Wang Mo still need to take the screening test, one is not to meet the actual population, and the other is to get a diploma.
Although liberal arts and sciences have been divided into subjects in this era, the test papers have not yet been changed into comprehensive arts and comprehensive sciences. They are all single-subject examinations. And due to special reasons, whether it is liberal arts or science, you must take the political examination.
Therefore, liberal arts subjects require six subjects, while science subjects require seven subjects.
On July 7, 1981, the weather in Jinling was hotter than in previous years. I knew it early in the morning and had already started calling.
This day was the most important day in Aunt Wu's house. Early in the morning, Aunt Wu got up and made breakfast for her youngest son. After Wang Mo finished eating, she urged her eldest son, who was still eating breakfast, to send Wang Mo to the examination room.
.
"Don't eat. Be careful on the way. Send Xiao Mo to the examination room safely. After Xiao Mo comes out, you can bring him back safely." Aunt Wu asked worriedly.
"Mom, there's still more than an hour left. Besides, Xiao Mo's examination room is at their school and not far from our home. Why go so early?" Wang Chenggang, who has been designated as Wang Mo's full-time driver these days, complained. p>
"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat in one day. If you miss your brother's important life event, I will break your legs." Aunt Wu showed her partiality vividly and did not hide it at all.
As the daughter-in-law, the sister-in-law just smiled helplessly when she saw that her husband was disliked by her mother-in-law. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because even she couldn't find any fault with this brother-in-law.
