The final exams of the first semester of the third year of junior high school arrived as scheduled.

There are a total of seven subjects in the final exam, including Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Politics and History, of which the total score of the three courses of Chinese, Mathematics and English is 150 points, the total score of the remaining four courses is 100 points, and the total score of the seven courses is 850 points.

The exam is divided into three days, and the first day has two subjects, Chinese in the morning and physics in the afternoon; On the second day, there were three subjects, mathematics in the morning, politics in the afternoon, and history in the evening. On the last day, the remaining two subjects were examined.

Moreover, after the end of the exam, Jiang Feng and the others will not have a holiday in a few days, and they will have to explain the test papers of this exam before they can start the holiday.

Of course, after the exams, they have a day to rest. On this day, the teachers will work overtime to correct the test papers and count the results.

During the three-day exam, Jiang Feng had a relatively relaxed and happy time. His basic skills are very solid, so naturally he doesn't have to crush Buddha when he takes the exam. Moreover, there is an adult soul in his body, and it is naturally easier to consider things more comprehensively and cope with this exam.

After the last chemistry exam was over, and after handing in the test papers, Jiang Feng was about to leave the classroom and go back to the dormitory, but his best friend Yu Hong came over.

"Boss, you're okay tomorrow, are you? My parents told me to take you to our house to play. Yu Hong said with a smile.

Jiang Feng and Yu Hong can be said to have the most iron relationship. Yu Hong's family is in the city, and he does not live in the school, he is a day student. On weekdays and weekends, Jiang Feng often goes to Yu Hong's house to play.

And Yu Hong's parents are also very good to Jiang Feng, just like Jiang Feng is their own child.

"Uncle, they let me play again? Well, I really don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll come over in the afternoon. Jiang Feng said.

"Oops, why did you only go in the afternoon! So, tomorrow morning, you get up and go straight over, and we'll have breakfast together. Yu Hong said.

"Still no, it's a little cold in the morning, so I can't come. Well, I'll come to your house for lunch, okay? Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's decided, don't let me go." Yu Hong said happily.

"Don't worry, come to your house to eat for nothing, will I still come? Hehe. Jiang Feng also smiled.

While the two were talking, they went downstairs, Yu Hong walked in the direction of the school gate, and Jiang Feng walked in the direction of the dormitory building.

After walking a few steps, he came to the small garden behind the teaching building, and a voice suddenly came into Jiang Feng's ears: "Xiaofeng! ”

Jiang Feng was shocked, and when he looked up, a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in his sight.

Jiang Feng's eyes were a little moist.

"Dad! What are you doing here? Jiang Feng exclaimed.

This man, he hadn't seen in almost five years.

Of course, it was not that he abandoned the family, but that he stayed away from his homeland for the sake of the family.

In the second semester of Jiang Feng's fourth grade, that is, at the beginning of '96, his father left home to work in Xijiang Province, the westernmost province of China, in order to provide for Jiang Feng and his second sister Jiang Fang to study. I didn't go home for five years.

Although his father didn't make much money there, unlike others, who could send tens of thousands of dollars a year to his family, Jiang Feng still understood his father's feelings. Therefore, even if Jiang Feng's life has been tight, he has never had any complaints about his hard-working parents, only deep guilt, guilt that he can't help his parents much, and he can't reduce the burden on them.

Therefore, Jiang Feng has always worked hard in his studies, and he is also very frugal in life, and he never spends money indiscriminately.

Perhaps, this is the so-called poor people's children are in charge of the house early.

And parents are also proud of having children like Jiang Feng, especially whenever they hear the neighbors praise Jiang Feng, their hearts are more like eating honey.

The father smiled stupidly and said, "I can't work over there, so naturally I'm coming back." ”

Jiang Feng then remembered that it should have been in October last year, his father had an accident in the coal mine where he worked. However, his luck was good, and he saved a life, but he fractured his right ankle. Moreover, after treatment, there was no disability left.

It's just that, after all, after being so seriously injured, if you want to work in the coal mine again, you can't do it, at least for a year or two, it's impossible.

You can't work there, and if you stay there, you're going to be empty. So, my father decided to come back first. It just so happens that he hasn't been home for five years, so it's good to go home and see it.

Jiang Feng heard his father call back in front, saying that he would return to Jiangzhou in the near future. It's just that because of the soul crossing thing, Jiang Feng forgot about it. It wasn't until now that he saw his father on campus that he remembered.

"Dad, how are your feet? You shouldn't be able to stand for too long. Okay, let's go back to the dorm first, shall we? Jiang Feng said a little hurriedly.

"It's okay, I'm almost fine, and there's no problem standing there. Well, I've bought a ticket home, and in just over an hour, the bus is about to leave, and I'm just here to see you. Father said.

"Oh, that's right. Then let's sit on a stool there, it's always bad to stand. Jiang Feng pointed to the stone table in the small garden and the stone bench next to it, and said.

"It's okay, it's okay to sit down." Father nodded.

So the two of them walked to the side and sat down at the stone table.

"Xiaofeng, you're on the final exam, right?" After sitting down, my father asked.

"Well, I just finished the exam." Jiang Feng replied.

"Finished the exam? Are you going to go home right away, or will you come home tomorrow? Why don't we go together? When my father heard Jiang Feng say that the final exam was over, he said happily.

"We have to wait for the results to come out and the test papers to be reviewed before we take a holiday. It will probably take three or four days. Jiang Feng said.

"Well, it seems that I'm the only one who will go back first." The father was a little disappointed.

Jiang Feng nodded, and did not say that he would let his father wait for him in the city to go back with him.

The family's economic situation is very bad, in the city, even if they live in the worst hotels, it is still forty or fifty yuan a day plus living expenses, which is very difficult for Jiang Feng's family.

Because her father was injured and couldn't work for the time being, Jiang Feng's second sister Jiang Fang had dropped out of high school and went out to work.

In this regard, Jiang Feng is also very helpless, although he also hopes that the second sister can continue her studies, but the family's economic situation does not allow it, his mother is alone at home, and the output of the family cannot support two students, especially Jiang Feng will also go to high school in the second half of next year, and the money will need to be spent more.

Moreover, my father was injured in the mine, and he did not receive much compensation, only two thousand yuan. Moreover, the remaining 1,000 of them is used for follow-up surgery to remove the steel plate implanted in the ankle joint, and the remaining 1,000 yuan is the compensation.

With Jiang Feng's knowledge now, he naturally knows that this kind of compensation from the coal mine must be unfair, but now that his father has already reached an agreement with the coal mine, it is impossible to change it, and he can only suffer this dumb loss.

Both father and mother were the most honest peasant backgrounds, and their education was not high, but they graduated from high school, and they were barely able to get rid of illiteracy.

The culture is not high, the knowledge is not much, and the understanding of the law is even more pitiful, so for this accident, the compensation they can win is really very small.

"And how do you feel about this exam?" Father asked.

"It's okay, the first grade will definitely not escape from the palm of my hand." Jiang Feng said lightly.

In the past, he basically won the first place in every exam, and now he is even more confident in this.

The father was very happy to see his son so confident, and a thick smile appeared on his thin face. He knows that his son never speaks big, and every time he does what he says. And if he really didn't do well in the exam, he would admit it very simply, and he would not make excuses for his loss.

It can be said that for this son, he has never worried about his studies, and since elementary school, he has always been very independent, and his grades have always been very good.

"Then I'll be relieved." Father said.

The father talked to Jiang Feng a little more, then looked at his watch and said, "I have to go, the car is about to leave." ”

Jiang Feng nodded, he knew when the car was going, because he took that bus every time he went home from school. There is only one bus to their township, and the driving time is fixed every day. Now it looks like there are still twenty minutes away from the car, and the school is about ten minutes away from the station. But my father's legs are not good yet, so it is safer to go early.

"Then Dad, be careful on the road." Jiang Feng stood up and said.

"Well, I don't have a problem, you study hard in school, and your mother and I can rest assured." As he spoke, his father walked outside the school.

It wasn't until his father's somewhat stumbling figure disappeared outside the school gate that Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze. He sat on the stone bench for a while before getting up and going back to his bedroom.

The next day, he went to Yu Hong's house for a long time, and only after dinner did he return to school.

When he arrived at the school, he noticed that the teacher's office was still open, so he walked over to check on the situation.

Several teachers were still busy grading the exam papers.

Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Ran Ling smiled and said, "Jiang Feng, come quickly, do me a favor." ”

"Oh, okay, Mr. Ran." Jiang Feng naturally knew what Ran Ling meant by this, and asked him to help her correct the test papers. This is not the first time.

Although Chinese is the first subject to be examined, it is the most subjective subject, and the speed of correction is naturally the slowest, especially in the reading and composition parts.

Therefore, even though almost four days have passed since the exam, Ran Ling's workload still has a lot left, and there are more than a dozen test papers that have not been corrected. At a normal rate, it would take at least a few hours. After that, it will take a lot of time to count the scores, analyze the test results, and so on.
