Chapter 291: A Newspaper for Five Cents
It was raining in the early morning sky, and the rain was pouring down, just like Ning Si's mood now, she couldn't sleep for several days, and many classmates had received admission letters, only hers was still delayed.
She stood on the former campus with an umbrella for a long time, and her heart was full of emotion, time is always so short, and her three-year high school life came to an end, but she left endless nostalgia.
The time of the first arrival froze the time, and since then the voice of the college entrance examination has been floating in my heart, it seems that we have met in Pingshui, but they are in a hurry to be separated at the end of the world, high school, and they have told each other about their hearts, but they have gone their separate ways.
At this moment, she began to desperately miss the past, miss the moment when she was thinking about buying an ignorant age, and jumped into the campus with her schoolbag, and the figure of the campus occupied her mind.
In every part of this campus, they have left their own footprints, but they have not had time to say goodbye, they are about to separate, the campus where the rain is gently falling, there is no one, they should be enjoying their happy holidays, and she began to feel sad, and her heart could not be calm for a long time.
Rather than talking about the mood of the college entrance examination, the mood of waiting for the results is more anxious, and she will go to the post office every day to see if there is any notice from her.
After being disappointed many times, her heart seems to be no longer so expectant, but she can't sleep every day, she has insomnia every day, and in the night of insomnia, she sees a lot of things, from martial arts to romance, and she doesn't know what to watch in the end.
The summer sun is always particularly hot at noon, so hot that people don't want to take a step, and the slightest movement will be covered with sweat, and every time her mother comes back from the car, she is sweaty.
During the summer vacation, he was at home, taking care of his dad every day, cooking and washing clothes, all the housework fell on her shoulders alone, and doing things every day day was like doing summer homework.
The familiar sound of "Ding Ding, Ding Ding" came to Ning Si's ears from a distance, she immediately looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was just after noon, and her mother came back, originally she thought that she had forgotten the time in a daze.
"The letter is coming, the letter is coming, the admission letter is coming," saw my mother holding an envelope from a long distance, which was her acceptance letter.
Hearing the news, my father was also very excited in a wheelchair, and his mouth was open and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but Ning Si stood still and didn't dare to move.
Seeing the notice in her mother's hand, she couldn't wait to open the email, the beautiful scenery of 'Zhejiang University' on the envelope, and the majestic campus gate were the places she had always wanted to go to in her dreams.
The first thing Ning Si did after receiving the notice was to inform her sister who was in Guiyang, and she thought that her sister must be as happy as her.
It was indeed as she thought, and Tranquility almost screamed out with joy, after all, her sister was admitted to her ideal university, and her only task now was to make up the fees for her sister for this first semester.
The tuition fee of seven or eight thousand is an astronomical amount for her, and the money in her hand is only three or four thousand yuan, and she still has to eat or drink.
After several inquiries and with the help of her uncle, Ning Jing successfully helped her sister apply for a loan and bursary, which is a poverty alleviation project given by the government, which does not require interest, and can be paid off in three years after graduating from university.
Ning Si always said very confidently: "If I can't pay off the loan in three years after graduating from college, then my university will be in vain." ”
Ning Si heard that almost all of her classmates were admitted to college, but the difference between one and two books was just the difference between one and two, college students in the 90s were foreign, and others thought that college students were a good child, of course, she was also a great child in other people's mouths.
Because of family economic relations, Ning Si was specially invited by the homeroom teacher to have a profound conversation in her hometown during the summer vacation.
The teacher told her, "At any time, don't give up your dreams until you have to, and you must keep studying." ”
On the way back from Ning Si, she has been thinking about the teacher's words, and finally she summed up the answer to herself, which can be regarded as comforting her studies that she has planned to give up, she has made a lot of excuses, maybe the teacher is just announcing the education commemoration of New China, "Reading is the only way out." "At that time, in the spring, in the town, and even in every household, this sentence was being spoken.
Later, in Tranquility's mind again and again in Simon's mind, she had the concept of reading again, and perhaps on the road to whether or not to go to university, the person with the most right to speak was Tranquility.
She told her sister Ning Si: "Maybe what I gave up now is just a university, just a dream, and when I wait for ten or twenty years, I will find that what I have given up is the whole life." ”
She didn't refute what her sister said, I have to agree that there is a certain amount of truth, although at that time I had not fully understood what life is and what is giving up, but I knew that my sister's words must be reasonable.
So she used the rest of her housework to sell newspapers on the street, picking up mineral water bottles dropped by others, sometimes the third sister and the fourth sister, Ning Fang and Ning Hua helped her pick up some bottles and cardboard, although a few cents a pound, but every time she sold goods, she could earn twenty or thirty yuan, she was very satisfied.
Even the little Ning Hua said wildly: "I want to pick up mineral water bottles and sell them to buy a house." ”
Although this is a bit wishful thinking, I have to say that it is commendable that she has this ideal, at least in her heart, there are things she wants and wants to do.
Because she got this sentence, she was asked for a long time, and every time the neighbor's aunt saw her, she would ask: "Xiaohua, how long will it take for you to buy a house?" she always smiled and did not answer.
The summer of July was still very hot, and when Ning Si was selling newspapers on Wenbi Road, she ran into classmates shopping, because she usually didn't have any friends at school, and she rarely communicated with her classmates, so when she saw them, she just wanted to hide away.
This society is always like this, others are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, hating the poor and loving the rich, and a court like Ning Si, who has nothing, will always be an isolated group.
She lowered her head, pretending not to see her classmates walking by, so she just shrunk her head into her clothes.
"Give me a newspaper!" I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, but it happened that her classmates asked her to buy the newspaper.
She looked at the five yuan handed by her classmates, and she still mustered up the courage to smile and greet them, because she sold the newspaper, but she could earn five cents back from the five yuan.
