Volume 1: The Classmate Boy Chapter 7: Don’t fight over the steamed buns to fight for the breath

Although Su Lin didn't know why he suddenly had the ability to pause time, since he had such a magical ability, how could Su Lin not make good use of it.Use this ability to change your own destiny, change the situation of your family, and get ahead. These former empty talk are now completely possible.

"As long as I think about pausing time, the time around me will be paused. Only my activities can be unaffected. And the length of time I can pause depends on the size of these numbers. Now... I still have one hundred and one seconds of time pause."

Sitting on the sofa, Su Lin stared at the bright red number "101" in the upper right corner of his sight, "But how to get this time? It seems that today when I was in the bathtub with Sister Zhu, the intimate contact caused it to skyrocket... Could it be said that this number needs to be in close contact with women to increase?"

Although Su Lin's current academic performance is not top-notch, it does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, Su Lin is smart and can't withstand anyone's thinking. Sitting on the sofa, after thinking about it for a while, Su Lin roughly has his own score in his heart, and he has an idea of ​​this inexplicable ability.

At 6:10 p.m., Su Lin's father, Su Guorong, dragged his tired body and opened the door of his house. He looked tired. As soon as he entered the house, he sat on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, took out his cigarette case lighter, and started smoking.

Seeing his father working so hard every time, Su Lin actually felt uncomfortable.His father, Su Guorong, was originally a veteran. However, he was unlucky when he switched jobs and failed to gain a foothold in a public institution. As a result, he found a transportation company to drive a truck.The salary was not high, only two to three thousand a month, and Su Guorong, who had been a soldier, was relatively straightforward and often did not get into trouble, so he failed to get many benefits that could be obtained secretly, and offended many people. After working for more than ten years, he only managed to get a false position as the leader of a transportation team.

Su Guorong might be too tired, so he didn't even raise his head to look at his son. He just nodded slightly and snorted in a nasal voice. Then he didn't want to say anything more. He just smoked a cigarette and thought in a daze.

In fact, most men are like this. They work under great pressure outside and are exhausted physically and mentally. When they come home, the only way to relax and have fun is to smoke a cigarette, hang out for a while, look at their wives and children, and feel that their hard work has finally paid off.

His father's attitude had always been this way, and Su Lin didn't pay much attention to it. However, when dinner started, his usually taciturn father sighed, stopped using his chopsticks, raised his head, stared at Su Lin for a few seconds, and then said, "Xiao Lin, the college entrance examination is about to take place."

"Well...yes, Dad, there are still more than twenty days..."

It was only nine short words, but Sulin heard more content from his father's tone. It seemed that his father had also been worried about his future development path recently.

"You, your second uncle's daughter Lingling, and your third uncle's son Xiaoyi are all taking the college entrance examination this year. Before you entered high school, you had the best grades, but now... eh..."

With another sigh, Su Guorong didn't say any more. He poured himself a glass of white wine, took a sip and let out a sigh. Although he didn't say anything more, it already put a heavy pressure on Su Lin's heart.

Su Lin's father was such a person. He had the most perseverance and simplicity of a soldier. He didn't talk much, but every word he said was of extraordinary significance to Su Lin.

"Dad, I understand. I will definitely work hard to get into a good university and bring glory to you."

Lowering his head, Su Lin was filled with guilt. He gritted his teeth, but secretly vowed in his heart that he must do well in the college entrance examination and stand out in the future.Even if you don't fight for steamed buns, you have to fight for this breath.

"You know? You little bastard knows nothing. If you knew, would your grades be so bad? I have been beaten and scolded. From now on, you will choose your own path. If you don't pass the exam, you will go to work."

Su's mother, who has been silent, is very direct. In the past three years, she has tried her best to cheer Su Lin up, but Su Lin's academic performance has not improved. Now there are only the last twenty days left, and she has completely given up hope.Things haven't changed in three years, can there be any improvement in the last twenty days?

For the first time, Su Lin didn't talk back to his mother today. In fact, he saw and remembered his parents' hard work. It was just his youthful rebellion and frivolity that made him spend the past three years in a daze.Fortunately, it's not too late now. With the ability to pause time, Su Lin believes that he can definitely cross the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination and walk out of a brilliant future.

The rest of the dinner time was spent in dullness. Su Lin hurriedly took a few bites of food and then went back to his room to read.After Su Lin left the table, Su's father and Su's mother continued to talk about Su Lin's problem.

"Hey, Lao Su, you should think of a way. If our Xiaolin is like this, I'm afraid he really won't be able to get into a good university. Our family can't afford three exams. Is it possible that our Xiaolin will really have to work part-time?"

Poor parents in the world. Although Liu Aizhen was verbally strict with Su Lin, she was still very protective of her son in her heart. She was not willing to let Su Lin work hard.

"Then what can you do? If you can't go to college, don't have a diploma, and don't go to work, can you stay at home all the time?"

After taking a puff of cigarette and blowing out the smoke, Su Guorong paused and then said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll ask my eldest brother to find a way out. If I can't afford three degrees, I can go to a college to learn some crafts and come back with a bowl of food."

In Jian'an City in mid-May, there is also a trend of steamers, and it is extremely hot.After eight o'clock in the evening, all the neighbors sat outside the yard, under the big trees, chatting and enjoying the shade.

Outside the courtyard of Sulin's house, the seven aunts and eight grandma were chattering about something.Although the next day was the last mock exam, it was too hot inside the room. Su Lin couldn't stay any longer, so he sat in the yard and read the book.

There happened to be a street lamp under the big tree in the yard, which was cool and bright. The only disadvantage was that there were many mosquitoes, so Su Lin sprayed a little more toilet water on his body.

"Hey... Aizhen, your Xiaolin studies very hard! He goes to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and his academic performance must be good! He will definitely be admitted to a key university in the college entrance examination this year, and you and your wife can be considered successful."

As we talked, some neighbors brought the topic to this aspect.When Su Lin's mother Liu Aizhen heard this, she looked embarrassed, sighed, and explained: "My Xiaolin's grades are not good. It's hard to decide whether he can get into university, let alone a key university."

"No way! I remember your Xiaolin's grades in junior high school were pretty good! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pass the No. 1 high school..."

Some distant neighbors still had an impression of Su Lin from the time when he was admitted to the first grade of Shanghai Municipal Government. But now, Su Lin's grades have plummeted, and he is still the good boy that his neighbors, relatives and friends praised.

"Hmph! With Su Lin's grades, it would be great to be admitted to a second-tier school... or even a key university, just dream!"

After a burst of sarcasm, Su Lin frowned and looked at the owner of the voice.

With that proud laugh, Su Lin knew that Tang Zhongwang lived on the same street as him. He was also a senior in high school this year and was also studying in No. 1 Middle School.However, from elementary school to junior high school, his grades were not as good as Su Lin's, so he has always regarded Su Lin as his enemy. Since Su Lin's high school decadence, Tang Zhongwang has ridiculed him in such public places more than once.

"Zhongwang, what are you talking about? Xiaolin's grades were better than yours in the past. Although your current grades are enough to get a copy no matter how hard you work, you can't be proud. You have to keep up your efforts, you know?"

Tang Zhongwang's father, Tang Liangyuan, scolded him. In fact, it was clearly a scolding, but it was more of a show off.Although Tang Zhongwang's grades can only be regarded as above average in the city's No. 1 Middle School, Tang Liangyuan is proud that he has the ability to possibly be admitted to a university.

"I know, Dad. I will work hard. Tomorrow is the last test for our No. 1 Middle School. I have been in good review mode recently. I will definitely go one step further and strive to be among the top 100 in my year. This way, I will be stable in the first line. I will not be like some people who idle around all day long and only know how to play without studying. I will only be able to work part-time in the future."

"It's good to know, Zhongwang, you are much more sensible than your peers, and your parents can rest assured."

The conversation between Tang Liangyuan and his son was obviously for Su Lin and Su Lin's parents.Su Lin's parents knew clearly that the other party was ridiculing Su Lin, but they had no choice but to pretend to smile and congratulate: "Your Zhongwang is more promising than our Xiao Lin. Our Xiao Lin should learn from Zhong Wang."

After saying that, Mother Su teased Su Lin and said, "Xiao Lin, you and Zhong Wang are both in No. 1 Middle School. Although they are in different classes, the review materials should be the same. There are still more than 20 days for the college entrance examination. Zhong Wang's grades are much better than yours. If you don't understand something, ask him more when you come back in the evening..."

Before Su's mother finished speaking, Tang Zhongwang suddenly interrupted Su's mother and interjected: "Dad, it's not so hot now. I went back to my room to review. I don't have any free time to waste on cats and dogs. I don't even have time. If you review more, you may get a few more points in the college entrance examination."

After saying that, Tang Zhongwang got up and went back to his room.But his words immediately made Su Lin angry. You, Tang Zhongwang, ridiculed me, Su Lin, and I don't care about you. My grades are indeed not as good as yours now. You have the capital to be proud of, but my parents are so humble, but you don't give my mother any face, and you talk about being a cat or a dog.Whether it was unbearable or not, Su Lin suddenly stood up: "Tang Zhongwang, stop here. Who do you think is a cat or a dog..."

"Who am I talking about? Who knows well? He doesn't study well and yet he is so confident. Haha, his voice is quite loud. He will be a good candidate for a part-time job in the future."

Tang Zhongwang didn't even look back. He seemed to be very disdainful to argue with Su Lin. He sneered a few times and said, "It's no big deal to have a loud voice. Su Lin, you have the guts to surpass me in tomorrow's mock exam. But in my opinion, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the next life."

Originally, Su Lin was already quite heavy-handed by his parents, and he was ridiculed by Tang Zhongwang so much. He couldn't keep his composure. He immediately stood up and was about to teach Tang Zhongwang a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Su Lin's father gave Su Lin a stern scolding, "Go back to your room and read a book. What are you talking about? Your grades are not as good as others. Do you think you are reasonable?"

What Su Lin was most afraid of was his father. He had to listen to his father even if he didn't listen to anyone else, so he had no choice but to endure it. Looking at Tang Zhongwang's proud look, his teeth itched with hatred.

With a silent thought in his mind, Su Lin paused time, then quickly stepped forward and kicked Tang Zhongwang's calf hard, then returned to his position and released the time pause.

When time resumed, Tang Zhongwang suddenly felt as if his calf had been kicked. The severe pain caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.

Tang Zhongwang's father became nervous and quickly pulled up his son.

"I don't know, Dad, it feels like someone kicked my calf... maybe it's a cramp..." Tang Zhongwang looked at Su Lin and felt that Su Lin was causing trouble, but Su Lin was several steps away from him, so when he saw Su Lin gloating about his misfortune, he could only swallow his breath.

"This is called evil being punished, so that you can be proud of yourself."

Su Lin didn't forget to talk, and with this kick, he felt a little relieved.

At this moment, Ye Xingzhu's mother Liang Guizhu walked from the house to the yard, holding a schoolbag in her hand, and said to Su Lin: "Xiao Lin, is this your schoolbag? Why is it on the sofa at our house? It seems that you didn't come to our house this evening?"

"Oops! Why did I forget my schoolbag when I sneaked out earlier..."
