Jolene has been in Beijing for several years, and her favorite thing is autumn in Beijing. She likes to watch the white clouds fluttering in the high sky, and she also likes to see the green mountains and green waters in the distance, as well as the brightly colored deep mansion compounds, all of which show the scenery and grandeur of the imperial capital.

In the fall of 2011, Jolene was in her senior year, and after the freshman military training, she attended the last orientation party and then quit the art troupe.

Her departure ceremony was held at a small restaurant near the school. Two years ago, she was a little girl who didn't know how to swallow with a wine glass, and two years later, she has already experienced a hundred battles, and she can cope with it freely in the staggered situation, and she will leave with her whole body. When I drank emotionally, I would lie on my friend's shoulder and cry, and occasionally I would cry with tears when I drank too much, and recall the highlight moments on the stage.

Among the amateur dancers, Jolene's level is still good. When she trains, she is willing to work hard, she doesn't give opinions on the choreography, and she is not arrogant on weekdays, so the new and old members like her very much. When Jolene's face was red from drinking, a sophomore girl was excited and hugged Jolene and cried.

"Senior sister, if you leave, what will I do in the future?

"Don't say that, don't say that, everyone will help you if you are in trouble!"

"Then why are you in such a hurry to leave? Isn't there another year?"

"I, I want to go to graduate school, and my homework is too stressful. ”

"Awesome, there is a pursuit!

In fact, the sense of accomplishment that the stage brought to Jolene was incomparable to other things, so when it was time to leave, she couldn't sleep well. Especially that night, the school girl was drunk and hazy, saying that she would become a legend in the art troupe. Jolene felt that the hat was too big to accept, but she was even more reluctant to leave the stage.

Not only the art troupe, but even Mr. Ma's place, she didn't go. She dances part-time, and her income is quite considerable, and it is also very good to develop as a side hustle in the future. Mr. Ma is also very good to her, and he has also given many opportunities to supernumerary personnel of a company like her. After hearing that Qiao Lin was going to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, Mr. Ma groaned for a long time, and finally agreed to her request very happily.

Mr. Ma said: "When I pulled you as a trainee, you said that you put your studies first and turned me away, I'm afraid few high school students can do it." It's rare that you can still calm down and settle yourself. Go ahead, come back to me after you pass the exam!"

Jolene is grateful to Mr. Ma, but she also sweats for him - this company is getting more and more dying, and when she is admitted to graduate school, will it still exist?

No, no, you can't think like that. Mr. Ma is a man of conscience, and he has to pray for him.

But Jolene still can't understand why a very kind person is getting worse and worse in this circle?

After Qiao Nan went to the capital to study, the three brothers and sisters of the Qiao family seemed to have returned to their childhood, and they could often get together. A week before filling in the volunteers, they made an appointment to go to Qiao Lu's apartment for dinner. Qiao Nan arrived early, and after the sister and brother talked for a while, Qiao Lu lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know where Qiao Lin wants to report?"

Qiao Nan chose the leeks and said with a smile: "Of course I know, doesn't she want to be admitted to Peking University?"

"Huh, how do you know? What did our mom tell you?"

"No!" Qiao Nan put down the leeks and said, "In the days when we returned to Hong Kong City, didn't we live at Sun Xiucai's house? When I looked at the computer screen, every page was a post shared by someone else, and the content was the same - how did I get admitted to Peking University from an ordinary school? ”

Qiao Lu laughed, and Qiao Nan couldn't hold back her laughter when she remembered the old scene: "Alas, she used to tell me that she wanted to be an agent with me." Just like her, she forgot to pull her tail out when she closed the door, and she might only use the stupidest way to collect information, and within ten minutes, she would be arrested and still be an agent!"

Qiao Lu couldn't straighten up with a smile, and after calming down, she told her younger brother: "Let's just know, don't tell her! Don't add to her psychological burden." ”

"Yes, I said it a long time ago, so I didn't bother to stimulate her. ”

The two sisters and brothers chose dishes, talked about homely things, and waited for Wen Jing and Qiao Lin. After processing all the dishes, Qiao Nan asked, "Sister, that Wang Chao, didn't trouble you again, did you?"

"Nope. Qiao Lu said calmly: "She doesn't have much contact with other high school classmates, except for the occasional sight of her on the news, no one knows how she is doing." ”

Qiao Lu sighed and added, "Anyway, I won't read the news she wrote." ”

"She's not doing well, sister. Qiao Nan's voice was very quiet, but very powerful: "Others can't inquire, I can." ”

"Qiao Nan, you ......"

"Don't worry, as long as she doesn't mess with you, I definitely won't strike first. As she spoke, Qiao Nan's eyes were plated with another layer of ice and snow: "She now works in a media unit, and her interpersonal relationship is very poor. A few months ago, she interviewed a girl who had been raped and asked a lot of pointed questions. The girl was originally calm, but as soon as she was interviewed, she committed suicide by taking sleeping pills, but fortunately she was rescued. I heard that the girl's family was in a big trouble, and the boss asked her to resign, but she was still holding on, and she didn't know how long she could last. So, she should be having a hard time now. ”

Qiao Lu lowered her eyelids and said with a wry smile: "She is good at embarrassing people, such a person actually goes to do news...... It's ironic enough. ”

"No matter how well she does, but she's not doing well, I'm very worried that she's going to do something extreme. Sister, be careful, if there is anything abnormal, contact me in time. ”

"Well, then what do you need to say?" Qiao Lu patted his younger brother's shoulder and said with a smile: "There is a younger brother who can support me, why should I wronged myself?"

Qiao Nan also smiled, looked up at the time, and it happened that his girlfriend was almost here. By the time he went to the subway station to pick up his girlfriend, Jolene was already slumped on the couch eating ice cream.

Qiao Nan hadn't seen her for a few days, and her heart was itching, so she wanted to tease her again: "Oh, classmate Qiao Lin, don't memorize new words today?"

"Relax today. ”

"What about Sun Xiucai?"

"I'm still writing my thesis. ”

"Hey, Qiao Lin, you are also admitted to Tsinghua University and be an alumnus with your boyfriend!"

Qiao Lin glared at him angrily: "Tsinghua can take the exam if you want to?"

"It's up to man!"

Jolene didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to lick the ice cream: "Then you can test it yourself!"

"I don't have a chance anymore. Qiao Nan said with regret: "Otherwise, you work hard and be admitted to Peking University! For the glory of our family!

Qiao Lin just finished eating ice cream, turned around, and rushed at him with a Pegasus Meteor Punch, which made Qiao Nan beg for mercy again and again, which alarmed Qiao Lu. However, Qiao Lin burst into tears, pointed at Qiao Nan and shouted: "He bullies people!"

Qiao Lu's mind immediately leaned to Qiao Lin's side, and reprimanded Qiao Nan a few times, telling him to be honest. Bullying is bullying, after my sister was really angry, Qiao Nan approached her a little closer and said, "I heard that you are now dedicated to studying, are you lacking living expenses?"

"Who scarces your stinky money!"

Although she said it categorically, when Jolene's eyes caught a glimpse of two pink bills, she still grabbed them with her hands and put them in her pocket as if nothing had happened.

A set of actions flowed, and Qiao Nan's unbridled laughter still echoed in her ears, but Qiao Lin didn't care. After the trouble, Qiao Nan still encouraged her very seriously: "Prepare well, don't be pressured, just say what you need." ”

"Oh. ”

Although this answer was perfunctory, Jolene still felt sorry for her brother, although he was in graduate school, he was busier than before. It is said that he still has to run back and forth at both ends, always obeying the call of the old army.

He had a busy life, and Jolene often forgot that he was a visually impaired person. When he first came to Beijing, his sister persuaded him to have another operation, maybe his vision could be restored, but Qiao Nan refused.

Qiao Lu asked him why, and he said honestly: "I'm afraid of pain." ”

......

Qiao Lu couldn't help but beat him.

But jokes aside, Qiao Nan is indeed so busy that he doesn't have time for surgery. Although my sister asked him a lot of hospitals, it seemed to him that those doctors were painting a big pie for her. Qiao Nan felt that although the right front was still foggy, it was okay in daily life, so it was okay not to have surgery for the time being.

What's more, he went through so much pain, and every time he woke up from anesthesia with anticipation, but each time it ended in disappointment.

That kind of disappointment, he really didn't want to experience again.

Jolene will soon be volunteering online, and she has collected more and more information, but most of it is useless. She wanted to apply for a graduate school of Teacher Cui, but there were no reference books published on the Internet, and no senior sister had been admitted, so she didn't know who to ask.

If Jolene wants to take the translation major, it is tantamount to crossing the river by feeling the stones. She has a good chance of crossing the river, or she has a better chance of being swept away by the river.

In short, her challenge could easily turn to death.

She thought that her family still didn't know her goal, and she was secretly rejoicing. But her roommates knew about it for a long time, and after hearing about the difficulty of her graduate school entrance examination, her roommates also gasped and advised her to calm down and calm down.

Murong was also indignant for her: "Actually, I think the guaranteed quota should be given to you, not to Liu Zheng." But you have never been able to compete with her, and you have no ambition to compete with her. ”

Qiao Lin replied with a stagger: "I don't want to go to the major she escorts, I want to learn translation." ”

is also a graduate school entrance examination, and Zhang Qiao, who is in the same dormitory, applied for a school that is difficult but can still be approached by hard work. She took the interdisciplinary exam, but she had enough review materials, and she worked very hard, which can be said to be nine out of ten.

Jolene was so distressed that she couldn't sleep, and she talked to two close friends. She lay on the table, her long hair covering half of the table, and she lamented, "Am I overwhelmed?"

The two on the other side shook their heads in unison, and Xu Na also said: "Actually, Peking University is not as far away as you think, you have grown tall enough, as long as you stand on tiptoe again, you can touch it!"

Qiao Lin raised her head and said blankly: "Actually, I still have a little ambition, and I especially hope that I can become the kind of senior sister in other people's mouths." That is to say, when we were in high school, we often said, I know a senior sister who is super awesome...... Both of you are, but I'm not. ”

Xu Na needless to say, a flash girl from childhood to adulthood. After Zhao Linlin's counterattack, it also became a big legend in the second middle school, and there were many little fans.

Zhao Linlin puffed out her cheeks and said: "Don't always be presumptuous, you have long been a 'famous senior sister'! I had a tumor on my leg back then, and I could still win the first place in aerobics in a province." The third year of high school is missing half a year, and I can still get a good one...... You're also what others call a senior sister!"

Jolene laughed and scratched her nose in embarrassment. Zhao Linlin took out a canvas bag from her bag and said, "This is what I made, I feel that you can use it for self-study, take it!"

The canvas bag is very simple, it is a pure white background, with the word "win" outlined with a red line, and a cloth sticker of a cartoon calf is pasted.

When she was in high school, the two best friends once gave her a "dance or die" T-shirt, and now Zhao Linlin doesn't have to entrust others to do it, she can use the surrounding resources to do it.

Qiao Lin couldn't put it down, but Xu Na glared angrily: "Why is there only Qiao Lin's and not mine?"

"Ah...... Time is pressing, I haven't had time to do it yet, Qiao Lin needs it more!" Zhao Linlin said to Qiao Lin again: "Come on, strive to become Xu Na's alumni next year!"
