What makes the graduate school entrance examination more difficult than the college entrance examination is that it requires more willpower!

In the study room, I always face the familiar faces around me, and everyone's equipment is basically the same - heavy down jackets, sleeves, cushions, and thermos cups, which are almost the standard configuration of every graduate student. In addition, they would carry a small maza so that they could go to the corridor to endorse the book.

People who don't take the graduate school entrance examination, some are chasing dramas, some are going shopping, and everyone has a good time. In the first three years of college, Jolene had also seen that kind of flower world, and she also knew how attractive that flower world was. And what she has to do is to keep resisting temptation.

Sometimes her hands are really itchy, and if she wants to click on a Korean drama or a Japanese drama, she will admonish herself - think about that exercise period. The electrician who is still memorizing new words, think about Zhao Leilei who is crying because he is a few points behind...... There are so many regrets in life, and if you can still hold it in the palm of your hand, don't let it become a regret anymore.

Qiao Nan didn't tell her the whole process of struggle, if she did, it is estimated that she would be even more ashamed. But after he did his PhD, Jolene saw the effort he put in. Reading at the dinner table and doing homework on the plane are all small cases. According to his lover, he often did not sleep in the early hours of the morning, and when his lover called him, he found him lying on the table and asleep. After waking him up, he had to read a little more. Therefore, his lover simply didn't call him, so that he could sleep a little longer.

In this way, when others reach middle age, in addition to their daily busy work, they also have to raise two young children. His family said that there was no need for him to study for a doctorate, and that his career was already quite successful anyway. He didn't defend himself, he didn't shout tired, he didn't fall behind the work he should do, and the books he should read were gnawed down one by one.

Teacher Li was most worried that his body would not be able to bear it, but Comrade Qiao Nan didn't care: "How many times have I broken through the ghost gate?

Teacher Li is still distressed, but Lao Qiao is quite pleased. When his son was young, he insisted on going to the most difficult training troops, and although he endured countless hardships, he also honed his tenacity and perseverance. And this kind of character is a precious treasure that he will use all his life.

Jolene is not incapable of hardship, and in the years when she studied dance, she was forced to shed tears several times, but it was far worse than her brother. The date of the graduate school entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and her pressure is increasing day by day. When she went to her sister's house to eat, she didn't like to talk, and when her sister asked her what was wrong, she said a little irritably: "I'm about to vomit blood!"

Qiao Nan sneered: "If you are really tired and vomit blood, then you can't shout." ”

"Hmph, it's like you've vomited blood!"

"Children, the feeling of vomiting blood is different in different situations. Qiao Nan put down his chopsticks, fell into memories, and described them vividly: "When you are extremely tired, you will feel like a turbid breath in your chest, and it will feel like you have been pricked by a needle. In order to expel the turbidity, you have to cough desperately. Coughing until the sky is dark, all of a sudden, like a lava eruption, a stream of blood spurts out of your throat, and sometimes, that turbid breath comes from the dantian and swells back and forth in your belly. When you can't bear it, your stomach suddenly burns, and then you open your mouth, wow......"

Qiao Nan was still immersed in the role of Mr. Storyteller, but Qiao Lin frowned: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't let people eat?"

Qiao Nan said earnestly: "So, don't just say vomiting blood or something, when it comes to that day, you won't be babbling." ”

Jolene closed her mouth unconvinced. My brother rarely talked about the hardships he had endured before, but judging from his descriptions of some things, there was no need to repeat the hardships he had experienced.

Education is education, and after finishing speaking, Qiao Nan still comforted her: "Little girl, don't be so tired." No matter how bad it is, my sister and I can help you, why bother pushing yourself so hard?"

Jolene knew that the electrician still loved herself. Despite this, she couldn't show too much emotion, and deliberately said: "It's not uncommon for you to help!

Regarding Qiao Lin's postgraduate entrance examination, although her family knew that she wanted to be admitted to Peking University, they all tacitly kept this secret and quietly provided her with some help. For example, one day Qiao Lu asked her sister to come to dinner, and after she went, Qiao Lin learned that there was also a doctor of English from Peking University at the table with her.

Qiao Lu said: "Dr. Zhang was admitted to Peking University from another school, no matter where you want to take the test, it always does not hurt to learn from others." ”

Jolene was happy to find someone to ask for. Although Dr. Zhang has been admitted to Peking University for a long time, the advice given to Qiao Lin is still very useful - the foundation is always the most important, and after laying a good foundation, expand the amount of reading.

"I remember, I was doing translation questions in the exam room, astronomy, geography, philosophy, history, almost every field. It's very difficult, so difficult that you can be convinced - this is the level of Peking University. ”

Jolene swallowed silently, but this difficulty could not dissuade her, she had to show the strength of memorizing math problems back then, and memorize everything she could.

My sister is always careful, so she quietly provides her with these small benefits. In contrast, my brother is much simpler and rude - lack of money? Nobody bullied you, right?

During the time when Jolene was in retreat for graduate school, her life was extremely monotonous, and the living expenses given by her parents were enough. Considering the fact that the electrician has long since become a pauper, Jolene no longer blackmails him in fancy ways like she did when she was a child. He has a little military salary a month, so let him save money to marry a daughter-in-law!

In the past six months, the outside world has undergone some changes. Listening to Xu Na, Xu Wei still got married, and held a wedding in Beijing and Hong Kong City. Actually, Qiao Nan and Qiao Lu both received invitations, but neither of them went.

The invitation to Qiao Nan was sent by Xu Wei to his high school classmates. Although Qiao Nan is not a scheming person, he still can't accept Xu Wei's way of dealing with it. If Xu Wei personally sent the invitation over and talked about it, Qiao Nan wouldn't want to worry about the past of right and wrong. Even if their relationship can't be restored to the way they were when they were teenagers, they won't be awkwardly cut off.

But Xu Wei didn't have this awareness, that is, that guy still didn't have the courage to face him directly.

Qiao Nan tried his best to persuade himself to be generous, after all, after so many years of love, he was going to get married, what did he care. But after self-enlightenment, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He found the high school classmate and asked him to give the red envelope to Xu Wei, he had a tight schedule and couldn't go.

Their relationship is so sensitive, Xu Wei should also be able to sense Qiao Nan's resentment towards him. But he still accepted Qiao Nan's red envelope, and then sent him a message after a long absence, expressing his gratitude to him and regretting that he couldn't come to the wedding.

Qiao Nan didn't say much, simply said a few polite words, sent him the wedding blessings, and stopped contacting.

After all, the red envelope he gave to Xu Wei was also given in the name of the three children of the Qiao family. For them now, the friendship has gradually drifted apart, and only the love of growing up together in the same courtyard remains.

Qiao Lu won't go. The ex-boyfriend is getting married, the bride is not her, is there any need to go? Qiao Lu didn't explain it like her brother, so she pressed the invitation under the thick literature. She didn't feel anything other than a little sour in her heart.

Xiaolin said that he would be able to transfer to Beijing after the year, and the two would not have to be in different places. Qiao Lu is very grateful for his dedication, and she also wants to fall in love wholeheartedly, and after talking for a while, she is almost about to talk about marriage.

Although she has seen a lot of the world, Qiao Lu is still very conservative. She set herself the goal of getting married before the age of thirty. She was twenty-eight years old, and there was not much time left for her to get married.

Xu Wei's wedding was probably in early November, and among the people Qiao Lin knew, only Xu Na went. But after Xu Na participated, she was also a little unhappy. She said to two good friends: "His wedding is very luxurious, and it can be seen that both of them are not bad for money, and they don't want to save on such occasions as weddings." But right...... I can't tell what's wrong, maybe my cousin is smiling reluctantly!"

Jolene held her chin and asked, "Maybe it's because I'm too tired to organize the wedding, so I smiled reluctantly." ”

"Oh, their kind of people are all spending money to do things, how can they be tired? I think, my cousin's tiredness is the kind of fatigue that feels that life is very hopeless. ”

Who is to blame for that? He chose it anyway.

Zhao Linlin also maintained the same posture as Qiao Lin, stunned: "So...... If you marry someone who doesn't love you to the core, life will really be desperate, right?"

Qiao Lin immediately became vigilant: "You can't beat my brother's idea anymore! My parents are discussing when they will be engaged!"

Xu Na asked curiously, "That Sister Wen Jing, aren't both parents dead?

"Well, my parents said, let's follow the rules. Just because she doesn't have parents doesn't mean she's left out in the cold. What other people's families do, our family should do the same. ”

Xu Na applauded and said, "Wow, your parents are really good! If Sister Wen Jing marries into your family, she will definitely die happily!"

Qiao Lin laughed twice and lowered her head and took two sips of milk tea to show her humility. Zhao Linlin was sullen, just stirring the pearls in the milk tea and no longer talking.

Jolene grabbed her neck and said, "You're so good now, you'll definitely find a great boyfriend in the future!

Zhao Linlin barely squeezed out a smile and took Qiao Lin's hand away. If you want to find a boy who is better than Qiao Nan, I'm afraid it's impossible, right? She still has fantasies and works tirelessly to paint for him, but since he dated Wen Jing, she has never sent Qiao Nan a painting.

Many times she will also bite the quilt and cry, feeling aggrieved for herself. But after thinking about it, she felt that the love she gave Qiao Nan was a kind of fulfillment, so she was moved to cry by her feelings.

As for whether the word "fulfillment" is appropriate, Jolene said that she is noncommittal. But she is still very touched by her good friend's sense of proportion. She is also really looking forward to her good friend finding a wishful husband as soon as possible.
