The two-day mid-term exam went on as scheduled.
In the examination hall, with my excellent brain, I only used a little more than half of the time to think about each subject and solve all the questions. In my spare time, I looked at Wang Hao. That kid was scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like he was in a hurry to climb up the wall. I just wanted to laugh when I saw him. Then I turned my gaze to Bing 'er, who was in front of me. Bing' er was concentrating on the test questions. From time to time, she would gently tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, then lower her head and turn to the test questions on the table. This small action was like a small hand that tickled my heart. It was itchy and comfortable. I felt happiness and happiness that I had never felt before. To be able to meet such a good girl like Bing 'er in this life, and to be able to get her favor, how lucky was I?
Suddenly, Wang Hao's movements disappeared. Then, I heard a light snore.
I turned my head to look at him strangely and saw him lying on the table with his eyes closed. The pen in his right hand was now inserted into his nostrils. Coupled with his body shape, he looked very much like Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly from time to time, revealing a faint smile. A large pool of liquid had already flowed down from the test paper under his face. It was his saliva.
I couldn't help but frown. That kid didn't even look for a place to sleep. He was daydreaming during the exam. He was even drooling. He must have been dreaming about the roast chicken last night, or he was dreaming about some little girl's little butt. If this was discovered by the invigilator's old woman, she would definitely chase him out of the examination hall.
I stretched out my right foot under the table and kicked his leg hard.
"Ah!" " Ah!" Wang Hao shouted, waking up from his sleep. He stood up abruptly and looked around with his confused eyes. A long stream of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth, slowly dripping onto the ground.
Suddenly, the eyes of the students in the class focused on him. My heart tightened.”
As expected, when the students in the class saw Wang Hao's silly appearance and the saliva at the corner of his mouth, they all laughed out loud. Immediately, the examination hall became a market, and it was noisy everywhere.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss!" The old woman used her pointer to hit the podium fiercely, looking like a shrew.
"Everyone, calm down and do your own questions! Stop fooling around!"
The class gradually quieted down, and the students lowered their heads and began to think hard again.
The old woman walked down from the podium and stood in front of Wang Hao. She stared at Wang Hao with a pair of fierce eyes. At this moment, she was like a beast that was choosing people to eat.
Wang Hao's face was already red. He lowered his head and glanced at me with a blaming gaze from time to time.
I suddenly felt guilty. If I hadn't kicked him just now, if I hadn't used so much strength, if I hadn't thought of being smart and had a little teasing mentality, Wang Hao wouldn't have embarrassed himself at this time. For a moment, I couldn't help but curse myself a million times.
"Wang Hao!" The old woman shouted angrily.
"Yes!" Wang Hao replied in a low voice, but he refused to raise his head.
When the students in the class heard the old woman's angry shout, many of them turned their heads again, ready to watch a good show.
I realized that I had indeed raised my voice a little. The old woman lowered her voice and looked at her heaving chest (I don't have any sexual feelings towards the old woman, please don't misunderstand). I knew that she was trying her best to calm down her anger. If it exploded, it would be an uncontrollable situation.
"What happened just now?" The old woman tried her best to lower her voice and soften her expression as much as possible. She tried her best to act like a competent teacher. However, she did not look like a kind teacher now. Instead, she looked like a clown with bad acting skills.
"I, I don't know what's going on either.”Wang Sheng mumbled.
"Oh? You don't even know your own matters?”The old woman obviously didn't believe him. He turned to look at the test papers on Wang Hao's desk.
She grabbed the test paper that still had evidence of Wang Hao's daydream and glanced at it.
"You, you, more than half of the time has passed, and your paper is still blank? Are you out of your mind? Still daydreaming?" The old woman tore the paper into pieces and lashed the pointer in her hand on Wang Hao's desk, making a crisp " bang." The volcano finally erupted.
Immediately, countless curious gazes shot over.
"I, I, I really want to do it, but they know me, but I don't recognize them. I have no choice!" Wang Hao's temper flared up. He raised his head and looked straight into the old woman's angry eyes. He had an expression that said,'I'm like this. What can you do to me?'
"You, you, I'm so angry. Get out of here. You don't have to come back for the next few exams!”The old woman was so angry by Wang Hao's indifferent expression that she lost her mind.
Wang Hao grabbed the bag on the table, kicked the stool away, and walked out of the classroom without looking back.
"Teacher, I'm done!" Seeing Wang Hao's desperate look, I hurriedly stuffed the test paper in my hand to the old woman. I grabbed my bag and chased after Wang Hao.
"Alright! You've all learned well. Yuan Rufeng, let's see how many marks you can get this time!”The old woman's angry voice came from behind.
"How many points can I get? Then you can see for yourself. Be careful not to give yourself a heart attack.”I whispered fiercely and ignored her.
When I ran downstairs, I saw Wang Hao with his head drooping as he pushed the cart and was about to leave the school. I stopped him.
"Black Fatty, I'm sorry today. It's Boss 'fault. I'm here to apologize to you.”Seeing Wang Hao's appearance, my heart ached.
"Boss, it's not your fault. If you didn't warn me, I wouldn't have been able to escape if the old woman caught me when she came down to patrol. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The result is the same whether I take the exam or not. I can still go home and play for a while!”Wang Hao pretended to be indifferent.
"Boss, do your best. Don't let the old woman look down on you.”After saying that, he got into the car and disappeared.
I couldn't help but be deeply moved when I heard what Wang Hao said before he left. From the start of school until now, when I needed him, he was always by my side. He was the first to let me read good books. When I was bullied, he was the first to step forward. When I scolded him, he meekly took it. However, I didn't think about him at all. He wasn't cut out for learning. He was stupid and didn't want to put in any effort. Some time ago, I promised his mother to take care of him, but I didn't fulfill my promise to help him. Moreover, I didn't take the heavy thanks and compensation I promised him to heart, but he just smiled. I deeply felt my selfishness. In order to practice basketball, I had not paid attention to the situation of Wang Lei and Zhao Jian for a long time. As for my Bing 'er, I never cared about her, and even her birthday was told to me by Wang Hao. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but grab my hair in anger. No, no, I can't do this. I'm the boss of the three of them, and Bing 'er is the girl I love deeply. I can't let them follow me around every day. I have to do something for them. I want them to be proud of me. I can't let them be bullied. I have to make the girl I like happy. I swore in my heart.
After making up my mind, I didn't hesitate any longer. I rode my bike and rushed home.
When I got home, I took out a piece of peach wood and a small sharp steel knife from my "treasure chest"(which was filled with things I thought were very valuable, so I called it a treasure chest). Seeing these two things, I couldn't help but think of Grandpa Wu, who was both my teacher and my relative.
Since I was young, my family wasn't very rich, so my father didn't buy me any toys. I only had some vivid wooden puppets given to me by a lonely old man next door (I call him Grandpa Wu): The audacious Sun Wukong, the lazy Zhu Bajie, the flat-mouthed Donald Duck, the cute Mickey Mouse, and the invincible Astro Boy…They were exquisitely crafted, and their expressions were realistic. They were carved so vividly that they looked as if they were real.
Grandpa Wu was a retired old man. He was the only one in his family. Every month, with the little relief money given by the factory, he would carve some cartoon characters and small animals at home. After he was done, he would rush to the gates of various schools to sell them. Many students had fresh toys, game consoles, electric cars, and so on bought by their families. They did not care about these "junk" at all. They often called Grandpa Wu a smelly old man, so they often took a bag out. And when they came back, they could only sell a few, and the rest would be taken back. The days were very hard.
I, who lacked toys, fell in love with these little wooden figures. I often squatted beside Grandpa Wu and watched him carve these little people with a small knife. His expression was so focused. In a short while, the peach wood sticks around me decreased one by one, and there would be more beautiful and extraordinary little wooden figures under his hand.
Seeing such amazing technology, I couldn't help but be curious. I pestered Grandpa Wu to teach me how to carve small wooden figures.
Grandpa Wu saw how much I liked the little wooden figurine he carved, and he was alone. I was the only one who often accompanied him, watched him work, laughed with him, and doted on me, so he agreed.
Just like that, in the next few years, I spent all my spare time learning how to carve small wooden figures. At first, I often cut my hands and cried to stop learning. Later, I deeply liked the work of carving small people. In a few years, I learned all of Grandpa Wu's skills. This made Grandpa Wu very happy. He often praised me for being smart and was happy that there was a successor to his unique skill.
Before I came to Jiyuan, Grandpa Wu passed away due to a heart attack. Before he left, he solemnly gave me the carving knife that accompanied him for his entire life and a few pieces of top-quality peach wood that he had collected. At that time, I stood by his bed. He used his hands that had become dry due to age to stroke my hair and told me to pass on his skills. I saw that he couldn't help but admire and praise me in his eyes, as well as the reluctance before parting. In the end, he left and returned to the west. The only ones who accompanied him into the coffin were his pile of " broken " little wooden puppets.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but see Grandpa Wu's kind face, as well as the focused expression of the little wooden puppet carved on it…
I couldn't help but tear up. I wiped away the tears in my eyes." Grandpa Wu, don't worry. I won't let you down. I'll definitely show off your skills."”I silently said in my heart.
In an instant, I felt like I had grown up and matured a lot. Grandpa Wu, Dad, Mom, Sister, Pretty Sister, Bing 'er, Wang Hao, Wang Lei, Zhao Jian…All of their faces were filled with hope and concern. Dear relatives, dear friends, dear lovers, I will not let you down. I will definitely make you proud of me!
I picked up the knife and carefully carved on the peach wood. I think my god at that time should be as focused as Grandpa Wu.
Time passed bit by bit, and the peach wood in my hand slowly turned into two little people, a man and a woman. The man was me, and the woman was Bing 'er.
" Phew…" I let out a long sigh and put down the knife in my hand. The gift was finally completed. I looked at the little person in my hand happily. Bing 'er and I were connected together. There was an evil smile on my face, while Bing' er had long hair and her eyes were shining with happiness. We held hands and I carved two big hearts on our stomachs, tightly connected.
I wiped the sweat off my forehead and looked at my masterpiece. I couldn't help but smile happily. Yes, it's too perfect. This is the most beautiful piece of work I've completed since I started learning carving because I carved it with my heart. At this moment, I finally understood the true meaning of Grandpa Wu's skill. It was to carve with your heart. Only in this way could you carve a vivid and exquisite product.
For a moment, I felt like I was connected to the little wooden puppet. This was the first time I was so close to the little wooden puppet…
With a satisfied smile, I entered dreamland.
That night, the long-lost dream came back again. It was still the old man with the long beard. However, this time, the surrounding environment was so clear. There were green trees and wild flowers. The old man was in an unfamiliar cave, smiling at me.
"Rufeng, you're finally here!"
His voice was still full of emotion. For the first time, I felt that his voice wasn't so annoying. It even sounded a little like Grandpa Wu's. The surroundings, which should have been unfamiliar, felt so familiar at this moment. I couldn't help but feel confused...
Today, when I was writing, I also felt that I was deeply shocked by the plot. I made up my mind that in the future, I would write and complete every chapter with my heart. Only then would I not live up to everyone's expectations. I would also continue to work hard to write better content.
Fate is like the wind
