Chapter 7: The old games are nowhere to be found.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, with hormones in abundance, it is understandable that a casual glance from any girl on the street can lead to a flurry of thoughts and a restless heart

Liu Gaodao said, "One must rank among the top three in the county to succeed."

He slapped his head, utterly astonished!

"You are still not as great as I am!" Liu Gao blushed as he explained, "I am serious about studying, and I was referring to you. But what a pity."

The inadequate economic development and the scarcity of opportunities evidently hinder his grand plans for wealth accumulation

Liu Gao hurriedly caught up and said enviously, "It seems that Jiang Wenlu has a crush on you"

The girl chuckled and said, "You are really amusing, your way of speaking is becoming increasingly offbeat."

The girl said, "You sure talk a big game, but it's a matter of pride that leads to suffering."

What a pity?" Ling Er asked curiously

The room was dark and damp, and as he stepped on the wet floor, he found his bed, which had a mat on it, a straw pillow made from a woven bag, and the rest was nothing more than a few books and a towel

Liu Gaodao said, "She is borrowing a place to study here for three months from the city, and she will soon return to the city to take the high school entrance examination. After that, she will attend high school in the city and will not be studying high school in the county, so you will not see her again in the future"

Whether going to the great capital of the motherland or to the Pujiang, purchasing a few apartment buildings would ensure a lifetime free from worries about food and drink

Ling Er pushed open the door, and an indescribable odor rushed towards him, perhaps a mix of damp mildew, the smell of leftover food gone bad, and the stench of dirty socks, all intertwined together

Liu Gao. He closed the pages of the other person's textbook, placed a hand on their shoulder, and said, "Come on, accompany me to the dormitory."

Ling Er truly does not remember when there was such a beautiful female classmate in his class, she is simply a swan among quail, and it seems that she is quite familiar with him

Furthermore, their home is closer to the city than to the county seat, making it more convenient to go to the city

Yang Hao asked, "Why?"

However, it does not matter; meeting each other is fate. He enthusiastically said, "I am going back to the dormitory to move some things, would you like to help?"

Liu Gao pouted and said, "If you can really achieve the top three, you can get into Hefei No. 1 High School!"

There are not many people. Ling Er sat down next to Yang Hao, found his own seat, and noticed that there were many empty seats in the class. Most of the seats were vacant, unlike his own, which, although unoccupied, at least had two books left on it.

Yang Hao said, "I suppose we have arrived halfway."

Indeed! I can also go to the provincial capital!" Ling Er opened a new door to the world again, but then muttered to himself, "Living in the provincial capital is not easy, sigh, it's far from home...

Liu Gao's words indeed provided him with new inspiration. Originally, he intended to attend the county's No. 1 High School, but their entire county is a nationally designated impoverished area. Not only are the towns poor, but even the county seat is impoverished to the core

In the classroom, students recite English, recite Chinese, recite politics, and recite history, creating a cacophony of voices, all mixed together in a chaotic buzz.

There are about thirty people in the class, with more boys than girls. There are not many who dress as brightly as Yang Hao; most are similar to Ling Er, wearing coarse cloth garments, with a waxy yellow complexion that does not reveal much of a flesh tone

"I am telling you, do not speak unpleasant words indiscriminately," Ling Er warned. "If I fail to pass the exam, I will blame you entirely for it."

Thinking of this, he felt a great deal of pressure. As for physics, chemistry, English, and mathematics, he was not intimidated at all. Saying he would score full marks was a bit of an exaggeration, but he would not be far off. What he feared the most were subjects like Chinese, politics, and history, which he had completely forgotten about ages ago.

Ling Er understood that the rural environment is very pragmatic. Those who feel hopeless about the high school entrance examination often return home early. Not only do they endure the torment of staying here, but they also waste food expenses and the registration fees for the examination.

As for his high school classmates from the previous life, he felt no particular attachment, as he was plagued by feelings of inferiority due to poverty, was sensitive, had a shy personality, and was not good at socializing, resulting in having few friends during high school

In front of me, apart from the textbooks, there are only oil-printed papers, and there are hardly any decent supplementary materials available; there are no resources to engage in a sea of questions.

As the two individuals walked towards the dormitory, Ling Er intentionally lagged a step behind, hoping that he would take the lead.

Oh... Ling Er finally remembered that there was indeed a girl from the city who came to attend their class, which had caused quite a stir and was regarded as a public enemy by all the girls in the class. Then she smiled and said, "How unusual, can't I also get into City No. 1 High School?"

"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore, let's go to the classroom." Ling Er pushed Yang Hao to walk in front, as someone needed to take the lead. They found the classroom, but he was still unclear about where his seat was.

If he remembers correctly, it should be someone from the same dormitory as him

Ultimately, there will always be a group of students who cannot bear the fatigue at home and find school to be more relaxed. However, they cannot escape for too long, as there is only about one week left until the high school entrance examination

Ling Erdao said, "What you lack is tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, which you do not have either."

Ling Er secretly felt a pang of sorrow, yet maintained a cheerful smile on the surface, firmly pulling him along and saying, "Let's go, let's go, don't dawdle, I will treat you to big meat buns"

The young lady pays attention to her appearance, with her braids neatly arranged, unlike the boys who all have their hair styled in a haphazard manner, with a center parting, their hair sticking to their heads like a greasy plaster.

Liu Gaohe immediately responded to the letter.

The school's dormitory consists of a row of tile-roofed houses, which are drafty in winter and leak in summer

Once again encountering the girl from the morning reading session, she shouted at Ling Er, "You are not studying properly again, where are you running off to"

Still unable to recall anything

"What kind of person is that?" Ling Er muttered to himself before quickening his pace

If I knew the way, why would I need to ask you?

Really? Liu Gaoteng stood up, ready to leave as soon as Ling Er nodded.

"Nang Xipi, what are you playing!" he exclaimed involuntarily.

It sounds as if you really think you can pass the exam Liu Gao wanted to splash some urine to wake him up

Now, he needs to start memorizing everything from scratch

Nothing much. Ling Er looked around in all directions and a dark-skinned young man successfully caught his attention

Although the city is also poor, it is much better than the county town. Relatively speaking, there are more opportunities than in the county.

Ling Er felt a twitch at the corner of his eye, surprised to find that he still had such a pragmatic classmate. Enduring the pain, he said, "That is a must"

"Are you foolish?" Ling Er said, "It will soon be time for transplanting rice seedlings. Working hard is quite a suffering; it is better to hide in school and be comfortable."

"What a wishful thinking." The girl snorted coldly and ignored him again

As for what it is called

With a heart as broad as yours, is it possible that you have no impression at all?

Then I will aim for a top three finish in the entire county. Ling San said confidently

Then he smiled and said, "However, in a few days, everyone might be here."

What? Yang Hao was baffled

You can go by yourself, why bother with me? Liu Gao was filled with displeasure.

"What does it have to do with me?" Regarding this name, Ling Er also had no impression of it. With the demeanor of someone who has been through it all, he said, "You children, all day long not studying properly, your minds are filled with all sorts of nonsense."
