Reading | About the "big test" in my life

In the 1980s, watches were almost a symbol of one person. The young man goes on a blind date, the watch is standard; if he does not, he must wear it. When people wear long -sleeved clothes, people will cover their watches. In order to avoid such regrets, some people simply tie the cufflinks and then put their watches outside.

I heard that the son of a village cadre came to the age of marriage and marriage. In order to decorate the facade, his father bought him a Shanghai brand watch. This child wore a watch on the street. Someone saw him intentionally: What time is it now? He quickly looked at the sun in the sky, raised his wrist again to see his watch, and said, now around 12 o'clock! Then attracted a laugh.

For the first time, I was in close contact with my watch and had already entered elementary school. At that time, the second uncle of the neighbor's house was just married, and a bright watch on his wrist. That day, while he came to my house, I waited for the opportunity to tange what was expected to be expected. My mother scolded me aloud, but I still don't want to give up.

The second uncle couldn't help me, or because of the face of my parents, he reluctantly stretched his hand to me. I pulled the second uncle's wrist hard, really looking at the three needles inside the round dial, and made a crisp "click" sound while walking. The second uncle may be afraid that I have to enter the foot.

When I was in junior high school, the watch has gradually entered the home of ordinary people and lost the halo of the past. Students with a little better family conditions have such a thing on their wrists. At that time, for me, it was also extravagant to have a watch.

My parents are all authentic farmers. Live a life in the soil, and they are always economically stretched. My tuition fees are made up from Qizhong. Why should I buy a watch? So during the entrance examination, I chose a technical secondary school without hesitation. At that time, the technical secondary school was the dream of rural children. After admission, it means that they jumped out of the farmer and became a "national grain" person.

In 1993, I passed the level all the way, when I was killed to the last level, that is, when I walked into the last test room, I and a pure Shanghai brand watch "lost the arm".

After the exam that morning, because there were a few hours before the afternoon test, I finished the paper and packed the stationery, and left the examination room to rest in the residence. I didn't go far, I suddenly saw a bright thing in the grass on the roadside. Looking at it, he was a watch!

I quickly bent down and quickly caught it in my hand. For a while, it passed to the palm of the palm, and it felt refreshing, and the five internal organs and six were ironed. I controlled the fierce heartbeat and opened my fingers gently. The watches that shined with silver light appeared in front of my eyes: a round dial, three wrong canes, especially the slender second hand, and ran all the way to sing and cheer all the way. The song ... The iconic "Shanghai" at 12 o'clock, like two precious flowers, showed a sweet smile towards me.

My heart bloomed and put the watch into my pants pocket. I want to return to my residence quickly and appreciate it little by little.

But after a few steps, I saw someone coming across the opposite side and looking for something while walking. Seeing the stationery in his hand, I knew he should be a candidate like me.

When he came to me, he frowned and asked anxiously: "Classmate, do you see a watch?" His voice trembled, almost all of them cried, his eyes were full of expectations and helplessness.

I seemed to be kicked fiercely by anyone, and I didn't know how to be good for a while, and I left in a hurry.

However, my heart can no longer be calm. Before coming to the exam, my father also said that he would borrow a watch for me to avoid missing time. My father Mu, I know how difficult it was to borrow things in his mouth, so I refused and didn't want him to give up his face for me.

And this one in the pants pocket does not belong to my watch, and will the parents of the classmate put down and borrow it with others? Even if it is not borrowed, it is not as good as a pen and a ruler, how distressed it is for no reason! Then, the test below ... I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the deep guilt suddenly hit my heart. I turned my head and shouted loudly towards the classmate's back: Classmate, is this your watch?

Shouting that sentence, my heart seemed to get rid of a mountain, and was as light as a swallow.

In the following exams, I found that I had never been easy -all the way like God's help. I took the best scores of myself in history. After that, I entered the sacred temple that the farmers dreamed of, and completed the first transformation of my life.

It was also after that exam, and I came all the way, and my academic qualifications and careers continued to rise. In life and work, I have encountered such a "watch" many times, but never moved anymore, and always maintained the clearness and cleanness of my heart.

I would never forget the scene of that year: the classmate held my hand tightly, and there was a bright thing in my eyes surging. He moved his lips and said tremblingly that after he passed the county -level pre -election, his father sold a few bags of wheat gifts to him, hoping that he could laugh in the end ...

I don't know how the classmates finally got the test, but I believe that he must have a smile in his heart during the exam.

Today, watches are no longer the necessary ornaments or a symbol of wealth. But I often tell my children about the story about watches, as well as the "big test" in my life.
