Chapter 11 The UEC begins
The next day, Ling Xiaoxiao happily went to school, and Ling's father took a day off to accompany Ling's mother to the street to see if he could find a suitable place. Xiaojuan, that is, Ling Xiaoxiao's little aunt rented a stall in the commercial building to sell women's shoes, and by the way, she also sold children's shoes, and the business has always been good, she had long suggested that Ling's father and Ling's mother come out to work alone, and now seeing that Ling's mother finally made up her mind and warmly welcomed her to join the ranks of small traders, she did not hide her secrets and told Ling's mother all the ways to do small business, and also helped Ling's mother introduce her to a sister who sells clothes.
The little aunt's sister is the first wave in the county to come out and work alone, this person is the county's department store when the renovation into a commercial building began to rent a stall to sell clothes, however, people have sold so many years no longer do low-end clothing, acting as an agent for several perennial CCTV advertising woolen sweater, cashmere sweater brand, high profit and not hard, the little aunt will introduce her sister to Ling Ma is also sure that although everyone sells clothes, but there is no competition between each other.
The little aunt's sister is also a cheerful person, seeing that Ling Ma is the sister-in-law of her own sister, she didn't talk nonsense and directly taught Ling Ma some tips for selling clothes over the years, when to start buying new clothes for the season, what size of clothes sell more, what color clothes are suitable for northerners to enter, etc., etc., Ling Ma took a small notebook on the side and wrote it down and prepared to study it slowly. I heard Ling's mother say that she wanted to go to the capital to buy goods, and the reason why she was willing to spend agency fees to sell branded clothing was because there were too many people in the county who went to Bincheng to buy goods, and Bincheng's clothes were not easy to sell now.
If Ling's mother had to come out to find something to do by herself because of a stiff quarrel with the factory, then now after being brainwashed by her sister-in-law and her little sister, she has shown great interest in doing business, and she goes out every day to find a suitable place to prepare to open a store.
The sister-in-law also gave her strength, mobilized those friends she knew to help inquire, and within a few days, I heard that there was a store on the side of the commercial building to go out, and it was also selling clothes, and the shelves and models were all going out together, and the little aunt took Ling's mother to see it twice, and found that the previous decoration of the store was very painstaking, and the maintenance was also good. If you rent it, you don't need to change it much, and you can open it directly after you buy it.
Of course, the location is good, the decoration is good, everything is good at the same time, the price is also good, the transfer of the shopkeeper asked to even transfer the inventory in the store, the shopkeeper was in the fur business before, the inventory is high-end goods, the price of each piece is not low, and the shopkeeper bites to death and refuses to discuss, must be transferred together with the inventory, which makes Ling's mother very depressed, every day when the family has dinner, they have to repeat it.
Ling Xiaoxiao knows how entangled Ling Xiaoxiao is, but she is about to usher in the first unified examination now, and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, so she can only deeply sympathize with Ling Ma. Besides, she has never done business in her previous life or this life, so she can't help even if she wants to, so let her little aunt help find a way.
After a month of intense review, the day of the monthly exam is finally approaching, because after the eleventh long holiday, the monthly exam is scheduled for the three days of September 28th, 29th and 30th, in addition to the five main subjects, history, politics, and biology three minor subjects are also examined together.
Although the three minor subjects are not included in the admission score of the high school entrance examination, these three subjects have always existed in the form of qualification scores, and if the score of the three minor subjects in the high school entrance examination does not reach more than 80 points, the high school entrance examination score cannot be admitted to each high school even if the score is high. Therefore, in addition to attaching importance to several main subjects, middle schools are also more strict with the sub-subjects, which can be seen from the fact that the sub-subjects will follow the exam together in each monthly examination.
In this month, Ling Xiaoxiao has been struggling just to review a few major courses, and now she has to find time to memorize politics, history, and biology when the exam is approaching.
Ling's mother and Ling Xiaoxiao are very busy every day, and the most idle person in the family has become Ling's father who commutes to work on time, Ling's father has always been known as a good man in the new era, so the task of cleaning up the house, cooking and washing clothes all falls on Ling's father, eating Ling's father's love lunch and dinner every day, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly found that her father's craftsmanship seems to be much better than her mother's.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of September 28, the first unified examination of middle schools in the province officially began. The day before the exam, several classes in the third grade had already arranged the classrooms according to the examination room standards of the high school entrance examination, and there were 30 candidates in a classroom, and the extra tables and chairs were all stacked at the back of the classroom. Several laboratories were also sorted out in advance as examination rooms.
The exam number is arranged according to the grade list, the top 30 students in the grade list are in the first examination room, 31 to 60 are in the second examination room, and so on, in the final exam of the second year of junior high school, Ling Xiaoxiao's class ranked tenth, and the grade list barely squeezed into the list of 100 people, so this exam was divided into the fourth examination room. Wu Qingqing, as a student in the third class, was naturally in the first examination room, while Xu Xiaoying's grades were worse than Ling Xiaoxiao's, in the fifth examination room.
At 7:50, all candidates entered, and the invigilator had already entered the examination room and began to open the file bag and distribute the exam papers. The first language examination takes two hours. The invigilator counts the test papers and divides them into stacks, one by one, for the students sitting in front of them to pass to the back. The test questions for this exam were from Bincheng No. 8 Middle School, and Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at the questions and felt that it was difficult. The test paper turned to the last side and looked at the essay title: about "willfulness". This topic is not suitable for writing a narrative essay, and Ling Xiaoxiao is sorting out the test papers and answer sheets while pondering what kind of ideas should be stated in the argumentative essay.
In recent years, as their group of post-80s students have grown up, the discussion on the post-80s generation in society has become more and more intense...... All kinds of negative comments are piled up on them like no money. Ling Xiaoxiao just wants to pout her lips in retrospect, is it better than the post-90s generation who are honest, honest, and naïve compared to the post-80s.
After sorting out her divergent thoughts, the bell for the official exam had already sounded, and she opened the test paper and wrote her class and name first, and then began to answer the questions carefully and carefully from the first side.
Two hours passed quickly, and Ling Xiaoxiao felt that before she had time to read the essay again and correct the typo, the bell for the end of the exam had already sounded. The invigilator stood on the podium and loudly announced the end of the exam and asked everyone to stop writing.
One of the two invigilators is responsible for checking the order on the podium, and the other begins to collect the test papers according to the seating order. Ling Xiaoxiao put down her pen and looked at the classmates around her, some of them looked relaxed, some of them looked nervous, and some of them were actually miserable and white. It's a terrified kid!
