Chapter 5 The world of adults
Chapter 5 The world of adults
Jiang Xun decided not to copy Jiang Bin's homework anymore, he decided to be as smart and beautiful as his mother.
It's easy to be beautiful, as long as you wash your face and hands on time and change your clothes in time, Jiang Xun can do double.Usually he only washes his face in the morning, and he decided to wash it at night as well.Changing clothes is once every two days, and he decided to change it to once a day.He must be the cleanest and most beautiful kid in the village!
But smart—
Smart Jiang Xun is also confident!
In the diary, my mother praised him for being smart, saying that he could count to [-] when he was two years old, and his numerical ability is very good. He must not have inherited his father's math IQ!
He has to do homework by himself.
However, the reality is cruel, because most of the questions in the exercise book are not good.Jiang Xun asked Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin told him very patiently, but Jiang Bin didn't have much time, Jiang Bin usually had to do the homework given by the teacher in the cram school.
Jiang Xun flipped through his textbooks and listened to his grandma talking about his recent illness as he collected his clothes.Jiang Xun was dissatisfied, "I used to always scold me for not paying attention to hygiene, like a mud monkey, but you have so many opinions when I talk about hygiene! Why are you always contradicting yourself, grandma!"
Hey, there was still something he didn’t understand at the beginning of the page, so he had to keep reading, from the fifth grade textbook to the fourth grade, from the fourth grade to the third grade, and finally he found that he had to start reading from the second grade.
Jiang Xun found out the old textbooks and read them again. He was fine at home, but at school the teacher asked him why he was reading second grade textbooks in class.Jiang Xun was annoyed, "Would I still watch it if I would?"
The teacher was angry, "Then you might as well go to the second grade class, I'm teaching the fifth grade class."
Jiang Xun said, teacher, are you stupid, "Now the nine-year compulsory education, you can't repeat a grade, and you can't discriminate against students who are not good at learning. Don't you know, teacher?"
The teacher choked him half to death, and simply ignored the thorn.
However, by the end of the second semester of the fifth grade, Jiang Xun was able to enjoy his studies when he was promoted to the exam. Among the forty students in the class, Jiang Xun was No. 20 in the exam.
After the grades came out, teacher Kong, the class teacher, secretly asked Jiang Xun, "Did you cheat during the exam?" The promotion exam was a county-wide exam, and teachers from different schools exchanged invigilators.Jiang Xun's progress was so great that Teacher Kong was taken aback, thinking that this kid had gone astray.
Feeling insulted, Jiang Xun rolled his eyes and asked Teacher Hou Kong with the words he learned on TV, "I'll be your grandma!"
Teacher Kong was dizzy, and just about to say a few words of lecture, Jiang Xun already turned his head up angrily and walked away.Teacher Kong muttered in a low voice, "It's not better, keep working hard. Don't I want my students to improve and get good grades in the exam. Brat, the first year is not so arrogant."
I probably also felt that I had said something inappropriate. During the parent meeting, Teacher Kong said something to his uncle specifically, "Jiang Xun has made rapid progress. This kid is still smart. He used to be playful and didn't study hard. Parents should also Continue to supervise your child's studies."
My uncle held parent-teacher meetings for Jiang Xun for several years, and was praised by the teacher for the first time. He was flattered and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we must supervise and supervise."
Teacher Kong touched Jiang Xun's head kindly, apologizing, "Teacher knows you are working hard, keep working hard."
The teacher's hand fell on Jiang Xun's head, and Jiang Xun felt very strange. The teacher had always spoken harshly to him, especially when Teacher Kong criticized him when he saw him. He had previously suspected whether he was cheating.Suddenly patted his head and praised him, even though he suspected that Teacher Kong was putting on an act, such actions still made Jiang Xun feel an uncontrollable warmth and joy in his heart.Even though he still thinks that the teachers are all guys with eyesight problems and unclear right and wrong, and Teacher Kong is the biggest snob in the whole school, but this still can't reduce the joy in his heart.Jiang Xun rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher, I want to go to the bathroom."
Teacher Kong saw that his eyes were rolling around and his face was weird. Elf still felt that the boy was more likely to be mischievous, but she was wrong first, and felt that Jiang Xun had made great progress, so she patted his head and let go, "Go. "
Jiang Xun ran out of the classroom. Instead of going to the toilet, he started walking alone on the playground.The summer was very hot, and the cicadas on the tree were screaming endlessly. Jiang Xun stood under the shade of the willow tree, and it was difficult to distinguish his emotions.
He likes the teacher's kisses and compliments very much, but deep in his heart he feels that the premise of these is that he has studied well, so the teacher will treat him well and like him.
This is what he got in exchange for his academic performance. In other words, if he doesn't have good grades, he won't like it.
Jiang Xun thought, the world of adults is really snobbish.
This joy, just like that, slowly and slowly, dissipated.
Compared with the snobbish love and praise of adults, Jiang Xun prefers the sense of accomplishment in learning, solving a problem, and memorizing a poem. For him, this kind of joy is more real.
He did the exercise booklet twice, turned over and over again in the textbook, and Jiang Xun would also use Jiang Bin's homework in the cram school. Some answers were different from Jiang Bin's, and the two would meet head to head. discuss together.
Uncle was very happy to see him, and couldn't help saying, "Xiao Xun's grades have improved, let Xiao Xun and Binbin go to tutoring together, and we can have a companion."
My aunt hesitated to speak, but did not object.
Jiang Xun has learned to read adults' faces keenly, "Uncle, isn't this expensive?"
The uncle is happy with his nephew's progress in grades, "Earning money is to study for you, as long as you study hard, uncle will be willing to spend as much money as you want to study."
My aunt said, "Then we have to take them off tomorrow. I can't carry them both on a telescreen cart."
"I don't need you, it's the same for me to drive a tricycle."
Jiang Xun flipped through the borrowed sixth-grade textbook and said, "Why don't you take a car? There is a car at the entrance of the village to the county, and it costs three yuan per person. At noon, Binbin and I can eat anything near the cram school. In the afternoon If you come back by car after school, it won’t delay your work, Uncle.”
My aunt was a little worried, "Can you two do it? There are a lot of cars in the county, so I'm worried about you running around in the county."
Jiang Bin also said, "Don't worry about me being a mother, why should my elder brother and I worry about it?"
"That's a good deal. If you go to school, you are going to school. You are not allowed to run around and play around."
Jiang Bin promised, and Jiang Xun smiled, "Why don't you stay with us for two days, auntie."
My aunt was really worried, "I have to stay with you for two days."
My aunt accompanied the two of them in the car, and after studying with them for two days, she was relieved to let them go to the cram school alone by car.Jiang Xun didn't want to go after going there twice. It was mostly a review of some old course exercises. Some questions were more interesting, but most of them were boring.Jiang Xun preferred to read the sixth grade textbooks at home. When he asked not to go, his aunt had no objection, and his uncle asked, "Really not going? It will be much easier to take the private junior high school entrance examination next year if you study this cram school."
"I won't go. When Binbin comes back, I see that his exercises are the same. It costs so much money to go once. How many meatballs can be made. I will read the sixth grade textbook at home."
Uncle saw that he didn't want to go, so he didn't insist.My aunt was amused to hear this, "Xiao Xun really likes to eat croquettes, okay, I'll add two catties of meat tomorrow, and let grandma fry it well."
Rather than going to cram school, Jiang Xun prefers to self-study the sixth grade with Meng Chun. Meng Chun's home is in Mengjia Village, the next door village. Jiang Xun finds him on a bicycle. The two of them do problems together, especially when they use different methods to solve the same problem, which is very fun. .
Principal Meng welcomes Jiang Xun very much. Meng's father and mother are both middle school teachers, and the teachers will prefer children who love to read. Although Jiang Xun is famous, he likes to read so much. What's more, children are precocious now. There was no daughter at home, and Meng Chun was the only child, so Jiang Xun became a popular child.
Jiang Xun even began to like to read some literary books. This kind of reading that does not require reciting and explaining explanations relaxes him and leads him into a wider world.He often forgets the time when he is studying. The summer vacation is too hot, so he eats at Meng's house at noon, and sometimes he doesn't go home at night and sleeps in the same room as Meng Chun.
Uncle was so sorry that he sent a cart full of big watermelons grown in his own field to the Meng family.
Meng's mother said, "Jiang Xun really looks like his mother."
Meng Chun asked, "I heard from my grandfather that Jiang Xun's mother is very good at studying and very smart. Is that true?"
Father Meng laughed, "Of course it is true. Only one person in our county has been admitted to University A in 50 years, and that is Jiang Xun's mother."
"Jiang Xun is very spiritual, just like his mother back then."
"Mom, do you and Dad know Jiang Xun's mother?"
"Of course we know each other, we are classmates." Meng's mother smiled, and said regretfully, "His mother told me the questions before, hey, what a pity, if his mother was alive, Jiang Xun would definitely be studying in City A. Definitely better than it is now."
The children couldn't keep up, so Meng Chun told Jiang Xun, "My parents and your mother were classmates, and we were classmates too. Jiang Xun, what fate do you think we have."
Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Meng Chun, but said nothing.Meng Chun spontaneously sighed, "My mother said that your mother is very smart, just like you." While talking, he patted Jiang Xun's newly cut standard cut student head, "Smart brains can really be inherited. "
Jiang Xun hit him all at once, "Don't mess around."
Meng Chun said, "I have to study hard, or I will surpass you."
"Didn't you study hard before? It will be a matter of time before you are overtaken by me." After enjoying the fun of studying, Jiang Xun's competitive spirit was stimulated. He was eager to be correct and hoped to get good grades in the exam training. This sense of accomplishment will make Jiang Xun feel happy.
In the mid-term exam of the first semester of the sixth grade, Jiang Xun was already at the top, and the teacher never mentioned the matter of changing Meng Chun's deskmate. As for asking to go to the bathroom, making small movements, and whispering in class, the teacher turned a blind eye.At the end of the first semester, Jiang Xun got back the first certificate in his life.
People who came and went to Jiang's house saw Jiang Xun's certificate and began to say, "This child is really like his mother. His mother was like that back then. She never got second in the exam."
This year, Jiang Xun was the first in his grade, Meng Chun was second, and Jiang Bin was fifth.
During the Chinese New Year, relatives praised Jiang Xun for his good grades, and he will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future, and he will have a great future.Jiang Xun faced more and more enthusiastic smiling faces and heard more and more compliments. It is impossible to say that there is no secret joy, but Jiang Xun has a deep understanding of the snobbery of the adult world, so even if there is stealing Joy is also mostly a secret joy of mastering the rules of the adult world.
Jiang Xun would rather read in the room than talk among adults, and he has no interest in adults talking.Including the evaluation of him and his mother by the adults now:
"With such good grades, he will definitely be as capable and promising as his mother in the future."
"I don't know which man is lucky to have such a child who can read. I don't know which man is not lucky to have such a promising child."
The adult world is so snobbish, mean, boring, and boring, Jiang Xun would rather find fun in his studies.Some classmates also came to ask him about his homework, except for Li Yang, the traitor who made a small report back then, Jiang Xun would teach them.There are many parents who are willing to have their children be friends with Jiang Xun, but Jiang Xun always only admits that Meng Chun is his friend.
As for Jiang Bin, this is the first time he heard the words "study like your brother".
Uncles and aunts heard more "One child can study like this, and two children can also study like this. You will be blessed in the future." This kind of words with countless envy makes uncles and aunts full of energy and glory.
All the hard work paid off in front of the children's good grades.
This is the best return!
As for Jiang Xun, he gained another insight in life: the words of adults are indeed untrustworthy. They used to say that he is not as smart as his mother, has a stupid brain, and is not good at studying.It turns out that those words were all wrong.
In the world of adults, which sentence is truly credible?
Most of the time, the world of adults is full of words that are not worth listening to or trustworthy.
What an incomparably desolate world, Jiang Xun thought.
