rebirth of cataclysm

After Hu Mingchen entered the first year of high school, his learning tasks suddenly became much larger than those in junior high school. Although subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, English, politics, physics, and chemistry were also included in junior high school, the depth was completely different.

In addition, due to the preparation for the college entrance examination, the three-year high school curriculum must be compressed and completed within two years. The first and second years of high school study texts, and the entire third year of high school is almost spent in review and testing.

In junior high school, Hu Mingchen and the others did not need to attend evening self-study, but after entering high school, he still had to go to school from 7:30 to 9:00 every night.

The new students in the class were initially curious about Hu Mingchen, a classmate who had skipped a grade, but after getting along with him for a while, many people began to admire him.

Hu Mingchen behaved himself in class and completed all subjects carefully after school. Moreover, even though he had already studied the first-year high school courses by himself, he would still preview them before the teacher explained them.

Class 4, Grade 1, is an ordinary class, and the academic performance of most of the students in the class cannot be said to be top-notch. Although Hu Mingchen passed the third grade of junior high school, he quickly became the top student in the class. For the first time

In the monthly exam, Hu Mingchen scored first overall. This first place was not limited to the class, but the entire grade.

Only in mathematics, Hu Mingchen was given more than five points by Zhao Jing from Grade 11.

During this period, Hu Mingchen had to take Hu Yujiao with him to school every day, and he also had to wait for Hu Yujiao to come with him after school every day.

Children adapt very quickly. I used to think that it would take a long time for Hu Yujiao to adapt to life and study in the city. However, after a month, there was no difference between Hu Yujiao and other classmates.

"Brother, you can go by yourself after school. I will go with my classmates." After school that day, Hu Mingchen was waiting for Hu Yujiao under the flag pole. Hu Yujiao came and actually made such a request to Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen looked behind Hu Yujiao and saw two girls standing not far away. They stared at this side and did not move away immediately.

Hu Mingchen knew that he was Hu Yujiao's classmate, and it seemed that he had become his good friend now.

Hu Mingchen shrugged: "Okay, but you have to be careful on the way, don't be playful, and go back before eating."

"There is absolutely no problem, I promise." Hu Yujiao was so happy to receive Hu Mingchen's consent that she almost jumped up.

Hu Mingchen smiled happily. When the little girl grows up, she must have her own independent space. For example, having her own friends is one of them.

"In this case, I will leave first. You and your classmates can go together. Don't be too late. You still have to do your homework at night." Hu Mingchen warned.

"Brother, I understand, don't worry." Hu Yujiao replied obediently.

Hu Mingchen smiled at Hu Yujiao, waved to her two classmates, and then turned around and left.

"Hu Mingchen, Hu Mingchen..." Hu Mingchen walked to the school gate and was stopped by someone from behind.

Hu Mingchen knew who it was by listening to the voice without even looking.

He stopped and turned around: "Zhang Meng, Yu Sisi, why are you leaving now?"

"We waited for you on purpose, otherwise we would have left long ago." Yu Sisi said.

"Waiting for me on purpose? Is there something wrong?" Hu Mingchen asked doubtfully.

"Hu Mingchen, can't I wait for you if I have nothing to do? Do you think you are arrogant now that you are in high school?" Zhang Meng said.

"Haha, what are you talking about? Why does going to high school have something to do with arrogance? Is it possible that you will also be arrogant in the future? I don't believe you two won't go to high school in the future." Hu Mingchen said with a speechless smile.

"You... we won't rely on skipping a grade when we go to high school." Zhang Meng hesitated and said.

"Look at what you said, just like how shameful it is for me to skip a grade. Young ladies, are you... okay?" Hu Mingchen said with a bitter smile.

"Hu Mingchen, are you annoying us? Is it because you are annoying us that you chose to skip a grade and go directly to the high school?" Zhang Meng tilted her head and looked at Hu Mingchen unhappily.

"Oh, hey, why are you getting more and more outrageous as you talk? Why does this have anything to do with annoyance? It's completely non-existent. Besides, why should I bother you? What do you have to annoy me? Haha.

, stop making random guesses." Hu Mingchen said helplessly, dumbfounded.

"That's more of it, Hu Mingchen, we saw that you didn't go to the library very much during this period, and we thought you didn't want to see us and were annoying us," Yu Sisi said.

"No, it's impossible. The reason why I go to the library less is because I have to study late at night. In addition, my sister just came to the city to go to school. I have to take her with me to let her get familiar with the environment.

." Hu Mingchen explained patiently.

"Then why aren't you with your sister today?" Yu Sisi asked curiously when she saw that Hu Mingchen was no longer with Hu Yujiao.

"She has her own friends, so she doesn't need me anymore. She goes with her class friends after school."

"Then are you going back to the library today?" Yu Sisi asked.

"Well...are you going? If you go, then I will go with you." Hu Mingchen pondered for a moment and said.

Hu Mingchen himself had no intention of going, but facing these two girls, Hu Mingchen had to change his mind temporarily. In addition, he had not been to the library for a long time, so Hu Mingchen also wanted to borrow two books and go back to read them.

Of course, Hu Mingchen also has a more realistic reason, that is, he does not want his relationship with Zhang Meng to get too bad. After all, there is a great figure like Zhang Weidong standing behind her.

Through two close contacts, Hu Mingchen felt that Zhang Weidong's future should be very bright. Being able to get close to such a person would be of great benefit to Hu Mingchen.

After hearing that Hu Mingchen was willing to accompany the two of them to the library, Zhang Meng's face became friendly.

It's just that Hu Mingchen didn't have much time to sit in the library and read books as before. He could only borrow two books from the library and take them home to read at night.

Hu Mingchen selected two 1980 editions of "The Romance of Chivalrous Women", which also has other names, such as "The New Book under the Sun", "The Legend of Sons and Daughters of Heroes" and "The Fifty-Three Ginseng of the Zhengfa Eye", etc. It is a Manchu inlaid book from the Qing Dynasty.

A novel written by Wenkang, a Hongqi man. In the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign, the Shanghai Book Company published a lithographic version. There were four inscriptions on the front of the volume, "The Romance of a Chivalrous Girl." These four characters were later reprinted as the title of the book.

It is a pity that this book has a total of fifty-three chapters, but in the course of history, part of it was lost, leaving only forty-four chapters.

Fortunately, the missing parts are some insignificant descriptions and do not affect the coherence of the entire book.

"Zhang Meng, do you want to read here, or do you want to borrow a book and go back to read it? I have to study in the evening, so I can't read more in the reading room." Hu Mingchen said after getting two quaint two-volume novels.

"You haven't read it, so what are we still reading here? Let's borrow it back and read it. How about you recommend two books to us?" Zhang Meng said.

"Then what kind of book do you want to read?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"You have borrowed novels to read back, so let's borrow novels to read too. However, we have not read previous classical Chinese novels. They are too difficult to understand, so you can recommend a foreign novel to us." Yu Sisi said.

.

"For foreign novels... let's read "Gadfly", which is a novel written by an Irish writer." Hu Mingchen thought for a while and said.

"Hu Mingchen, you are too bad. We always thought you were a gentleman. How could you recommend such a dirty book to us?" Zhang Meng glared at Hu Mingchen in an exaggerated way.

"What...what's wrong with me? Why is this a dirty book?" Hu Mingchen felt very wronged.

"Why not? Isn't it good for you to recommend a famous book? "Rogue", once you hear the title of the book, it will not be a good book. Only a gangster would recommend a book like "Rogue". This is not dirty.

"?" Zhang Meng said excitedly.

When Hu Mingchen mentioned the name of the book "Gadfly" just now, it was indeed pronounced as "Rogue". Hu Mingchen had read this book before, but he instinctively pronounced it "Rogue".

So when Zhang Meng heard the title of the book, he didn't see those two words, so he had such a big reaction.

"What are you talking about? The gadfly I'm talking about is next to insects. It should be a kind of worm. The gadfly is the name of the protagonist in the book. It is different from the gangster you are talking about." Hu Mingchen quickly explained based on his own understanding.

"Young man, the word you are talking about is not pronounced "mang" but "meng", and it is preceded by "niu" instead of "liu". A gadfly is not a gangster. When reading, you should use a dictionary more and don't take it for granted.

Otherwise it will be a joke." At this time, a female administrator in the library heard Hu Mingchen's conversation and came out from behind the counter to remind Hu Mingchen.

As soon as he heard what was going on, Hu Mingchen's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Thank you, thank you, I remembered it. Oops, I didn't expect that I made such a big joke. Thank you for your advice." Hu Mingchen hurriedly and sincerely thanked the administrator.

After making such a joke in front of the two girls, Hu Mingchen was still a little embarrassed and felt that his image had been greatly compromised.

"Two little girls, the book this young man recommended is not a gangster book. We don't have such a book in the library. This novel is a story about revolution. The protagonist is a hero who betrays everything he owns.

Believing in God and class, surrendering to the revolution, Vol.

He entered the fiery struggle and was eventually tempered into a revolutionary who fought for a unified and independent Italy. It is a book worth reading for you. If you want to read it, I will help you find it and you can fill out the loan form.

"The administrator then introduced it to Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi.

"Oh, that's it. Thank you, auntie. Then we'll read this book. Sorry to trouble you." Zhang Meng and Yu Sisi said.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh. It's all because I was not careful in reading and thought the name read "rogue"." After the administrator walked away to find a book, Hu Mingchen said awkwardly.
