At the beginning of the third year of high school, the sports committee member was chased by another female classmate in the class. She was angry, but didn't fight for it. She devoted all her energy to her studies, and wanted to wait until she was admitted to college before falling in love.

Ding Xiaomei has loved reading since she was a child. In elementary and junior high school, she consistently ranked at the top of her class. But after being admitted to the county middle school, she was only in the middle of the class. Later, Ding Xiaomei saw that it was not easy for her parents to pull her to school, so she worked hard and wanted to repay them with practical actions.

In the second half of her sophomore year, she finally caught up in the top ten of her class. In the third year of high school, in a mock test for the college entrance examination, Ding Xiaomei won the third place in the class. Her parents and teachers were happy for her, saying that she had a good chance of getting into a prestigious university.

Unexpectedly, during the college entrance examination, it was probably because she was too nervous, Ding Xiaomei did not play well on the spot, and felt that the math and English exams were not the best. But she estimates that it will not be less than 560 points, and there should be no problem in admitting ordinary colleges and universities in the "one". But she was also afraid of accidents, so she was always unsteady and even a little nervous. Now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief and go home to report the good news to her parents.

Ding Xiaomei got off the car on the mountain road in front of her village, walked into the village with a spring breeze on her face, and walked towards her low house.

Walking into her yard, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and said to her father, who was bent over and busy in the yard, "Dad, I'm back." ”

Dad looked up at her, saw joy written on her face, and said, "See the score?"

"See. Ding Xiaomei happily patted her father's back, "Guess, how many points did I score?"

Dad had already seen everything from her face, and couldn't help but smile: "How much?"

"578 points. Ding Xiaomei said a little proudly, "Director Ma said that there is no problem in getting a copy of this score." ”

"Look at your pleasure. Dad yelled at her into the house and motioned for her to tell Mom.

At this time, her mother was cooking on the stove, and she had already heard the conversation between the father and daughter. But when I saw my daughter walking in happily from outside the door, I still pretended not to know and said, "Why did you come back today?"

"Today is the day the results are announced, you forgot. Ding Xiaomei said as she helped her mother go to the back of the stove to light the fire.

"Can you pass the exam?" Mom didn't wait for her to answer, then chattered, "After so many years, I have worked hard to pull you to school, and there should be a result." After being admitted to the university, you have to work harder, do you hear? In the future, there will be a big future, let the people in the village see that our Ding family's chicken nest can also fly out of the golden phoenix. ”

"Hmm. Ding Xiaomei responded obediently.

After a pause, he raised his head and said to his mother, "You will know right away, I just met a person from the city government on the road, and he said to help me ask first, and tell me when he asks." ”

Mom didn't care about this detail, but just followed her train of thought: "The sooner you know, the better you prepare." Don't miss work, take advantage of this holiday to earn more money, and reduce our pressure a little, understand?"

Ding Xiaomei said: "Yes, I will go to work early tomorrow morning." Today I am on compensatory leave and do not deduct my salary. ”

"It's good if you don't deduct it. My mother stroked her gray hair and nagged, "How much does it cost you to go to college? We can't do it for a few dollars a year, alas. ”

"Mom, don't worry. Ding Xiaomei comforted her mother and said, "When I got to college, I went to work and study to earn my own tuition." ”

A rare smile appeared on the mother's old dry face: "My daughter has really grown up and knows how to be considerate of her parents." ”

They talked so happily that it was noon in a while.

Mother served the meal and asked Ding Xiaomei to call her father and her sister who were playing in the house to come back for dinner. Mom and Dad were also very happy today, with smiles on their faces. Mother put a chopstick of lentils into Ding Xiaomei's bowl: "There is nothing to eat at home, not like at school." ”

Ding Xiaomei also gave her mother a chopstick of green vegetables back: "You eat it too, don't just let me eat it." Later, when I go to college, you have to be careful at home. ”

My sister looked at her, bit her chopsticks and said, "Sister, have you been admitted to university?"

Dad's eyes widened: "You only know how to play! In the next semester, if you can't get into the top 10 in the class, be careful of slapping you. ”

"Hmph. My sister glanced at her father, "What's so strange about being admitted to university? ”

That kind of ghost-like look made Ding Xiaomei can't help laughing, and even her parents can't help but be happy.

While the family was happily eating and chatting, Ding Xiaomei's old mobile phone that she bought for 100 yuan suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so she pressed OK, and said in a crisp voice, "Hey." ”

A man's deep voice immediately came from the phone: "Hello." Are you Ding Xiaomei? I'm the one who met you on the road just now. Uh, I've already asked for you. You, alas, were a few points behind and didn't get in. ”

Ding Xiaomei, who was immersed in joy, heard this sentence like hearing a thunderbolt from a sunny day. It was as if she had been hit the head, and with a "buzzing" sound, she became dizzy.

Ding Xiaomei's Venus danced wildly in front of her eyes, her mind was chaotic, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Mom and Dad looked at her in surprise, guessed the content of the call, and their faces became ugly.

Just when Ding Xiaomei was stunned, she only listened to the "nobleman" on her mobile phone, and said in a relaxed tone: "However, I can find a relationship and help you get admitted to college." Really, uh, besides, I have a good friend in the Municipal Poverty Relief Foundation, and I can also help you apply for a special hardship certificate to subsidize poor college students. With the Special Poverty Certificate, you can get special care when you enter the university, and you don't have to worry about tuition fees anymore. ”

The bad news just now scared Ding Xiaomei out of a cold sweat, and now she heard two good news in a row, Ding Xiaomei felt that she was suddenly pulled back from the mid-air where she fell into the abyss, and suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and her face became clear.

She hurriedly said gratefully, "That's really, thank you so much." ”

The "nobleman" said, "Hurry up and write an application, and tonight, I will go to your house to see if you are really in trouble?"

Ding Xiaomei said: "Okay, okay, come and see." ”

The "nobleman" asked, "Where do you live?" Ding Xiaomei told him the address of her home.

Ding Xiaomei hung up her mobile phone, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and said to her parents who were looking at her: "He said that he can help me get admitted to college." Also, help me get a special hardship permit. ”
