Chapter 164: Talking without Doing

After the exciting college entrance examination, it is the final exam of the grade.

Zhang Yunqi had prepared very thoroughly for this exam. He had a good grasp of all the subjects, and even his English, which was his most difficult, had improved greatly. Although from a certain perspective he possessed the meticulous logic and thinking of an adult, and his learning ability was unmatched by his peers, but as a top student in his previous life, he knew that the most important thing for good grades was how much effort one put into them.

He has been working really hard recently.

Especially during the break between classes, when he was chatting with Wang Xiaokai to the climax, Chu Jian, who was sitting in front of him, would come to him seriously with the test paper in hand to discuss the questions.

On the first day of the final exam, the subject was mathematics in the morning. Zhang Yunqi took the test paper and read it all the way through. His thoughts were as clear and magnificent as the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. He finished very quickly and was already checking it for the third time half an hour before the end of the exam.

It was not until the bell rang that Zhang Yunqi slowly put down the test paper and left the classroom. When he and Chu Jian went to the fish meal shop at home to have lunch, he met Zhang Xiaonan unexpectedly.

Although eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng did not inform Zhang Xiaonan during the opening period, his family has opened a fish meal shop in front of the No. 1 Middle School in the city for nearly half a year. Zhang Xiaonan lives in the school dormitory. She is not blind and has known about it for a long time. Later, she gave Zhang's mother a red envelope for the opening. However, she seldom comes to the fish meal shop. Of course, Zhang Yunqi has often seen his eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng running out late at night in private. As for what he does, he doesn't know, but he hopes that his eldest brother will not just talk about life and ideals, because there is no one in the Zhang family to carry on the family line.

Compared to the time in Yunxi Village, Zhang Yunqi obviously felt that Zhang Xiaonan was in much better spirits now. He smiled and said hello. Zhang Xiaonan was quite embarrassed. Zhang Yunqi thought, is this a sign of love? He didn't know whether Zhang Guorui, the number one strong man in Yunxi Village, would come from Yunxi Village with a hoe on his back to kill him.

After lunch, I continued with the afternoon exam.

This class is about chemistry.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhang Yunqi put down his pen and waited for the invigilator to collect the papers and let him go. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a girl in the seat in front of him said to the invigilator who was coming over to collect the papers in a panic, "Teacher, I haven't filled in the answers to the multiple-choice questions yet, can you wait for me?"

The invigilator said of course not: "I gave a reminder 15 minutes before the papers were collected. It is your personal reason for not filling it out. You have to hand in the paper, otherwise it will be unfair to other candidates."

After saying that, the invigilator reached out to take the paper. The girl refused to hand it in, so the invigilator pulled the girl over and asked her to take it back and continue filling it out. This happened several times until the girl finally finished filling it out.

After she breathed a sigh of relief with sweat all over her forehead, she realized that all the students in the examination room were staring at her. The invigilator said nothing and went out to find the inspector. The inspector locked the classroom door and did not let her leave. He also reported the situation to the main examination room. After the leader came, he kept the girl and let the other candidates leave.

The girl didn't show up during the afternoon exam.

Zhang Yunqi found the girl's name on the candidate list pasted at the entrance of the examination room. It was Liang Shiqi. She was really not a smart girl.

After three days of final exams, everyone had to pack up and leave.

Before leaving, Class 168 held a class meeting.

The classroom was bustling with chatter at the time, with people discussing where to go for fun and where to eat. The nearly two-month summer vacation is always something to look forward to, but after the class teacher Jiang Lihua came, the noise in the classroom died down.

In fact, compared to the stereotype of always having a stern face in the past, Jiang Lihua was particularly calm today. He stood on the podium and smiled: "Summer vacation is coming soon. Looking back, this year has passed really quickly. I hope you can gain something. Of course, everyone knows that the average score of our class is relatively poor, but at this time, there is no point in me nagging about this, and you are tired of listening to it."

"Before the next semester starts, everyone will be divided into arts and science classes. Most of the students may not stay in this class, and I will no longer be your class teacher. Let me say a few words from my heart. I have taught many classes of students, and I found that many students have this problem. They always like to judge and position themselves by "what I can do", but will others see you in this way? No, others will only judge and position you by "what you have done."

“What you have done is much more important than what you think you can do. If your grades are not good or you are not working hard enough, don’t think that I just don’t care, don’t want to, or haven’t tried hard enough. In fact, there are only two differences in everything: whether you “did it” or “didn’t do it”.”

"After this year, in this regard, only Chu Jian and Zhang Yunqi in our class have really done well. I say this not to praise them, although they deserve praise. What I want to say is that there are still two years, 730 days, and 17520 hours left. Give it your all for the future you want."

I don’t know why, but the students who were originally excitedly preparing to go somewhere for summer vacation suddenly became a little depressed.

Zhang Yunqi felt particularly happy.

After studying in the No. 168 Middle School for a year, this was the first time he heard Jiang Lihua praise him, and it was when they parted ways at the end of the first year of high school. The old class teacher was also a sullen guy. After the class meeting, the students said hello to each other and left in twos and threes. The atmosphere was obviously not as cheerful as at the beginning. Perhaps they also understood that this was probably the last time for most of the students in Class to say hello to each other, and the last time to leave the classroom where they had stayed for a year together. Even if they were still in the same school in the future, it was likely that they would just be strangers when they met again.

After all, everyone lives in their own world.

That night, in accordance with international practice, Zhang Yunqi, Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Weige had a meal together at a barbecue stall. Halfway through the drinks, Zhang Yunqi mentioned the summer vacation trip to Xiangshan.

The three little fools were very interested.

Fatty Tian Zhuangzhuang said: "I have never been out of Jiangchuan since I was a child."

Kaizi said: "Guangdong is so developed, there should be a lot of bikini beauties on the beach, right?"

Impotence said: "There are many cases of AIDS. The more developed the place, the more they like to set the trend."

The topic was getting more and more irrelevant, and Zhang Yunqi asked: "Are you going or not?"

The three brothers smiled awkwardly and didn't express their opinions.

Zhang Yunqi said: "Food, sleep and entertainment are included."

On the first day of the holiday, Zhang Yunqi slept in at home and got out of bed at noon. In the afternoon, he made an appointment with Ji Ling to go shopping.

Ji Ling was usually quite bored, and she was even more bored during the summer vacation. When Zhang Yunqi took a taxi to her doorstep, she had just gotten up from the bed, her face was confused, her short hair was messy, and she had a kind of casual beauty. However, her waking routine was not as complicated as that of other little girls. It took no more than ten minutes to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and she pulled Zhang Yunqi out the door with brisk steps.

Jiangchuan is a relatively peaceful small city with a nice, warm climate and a good environment. The sky is often blue and the food is good. It is a holy place for lovers of heavy flavors, no worse than Chongqing and Sichuan. But there are not many fun things to do there. Of course, those who are keen on drilling holes are another matter. The red-light districts here are everywhere. The prices are cheap, the quality is excellent, and the cost-effectiveness is super high, especially the street in the south of the city, which is very suitable for experienced drivers to race.

Zhang Yunqi and Ji Ling went to Ximen Street.

There was nothing much to see, so we just looked for delicious food, such as stinky tofu, grilled squid, lamb skewers, Guidong yellow glutinous rice cake, and sweet potato steamed cake. When buying juice at a beverage store, Zhang Yunqi asked Ji Ling: "By the way, are you going to Yunxi Village this summer?"

Ji Ling bit the straw and looked at him: "What about you?"

Zhang Yunqi laughed: "I don't have time to go."

Ji Ling said "oh" a little nonchalantly, but did not answer. He asked: "Who are the people who went to Xiangshan for tourism?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "You know several good friends in the class, Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei."

Ji Ling tilted her head to look at him: "First meeting?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "She didn't go when she first met me. She said she had to work during the summer vacation and didn't have much time."

Ji Ling was a little unhappy: "Where does she work during the summer vacation?"

Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be in a Guangming ice cream shop on Ximen Street."
