Chapter 2: Reading
Mei Lan and Mei Ju walked along the school's boulevard towards the school's living quarters.
"Second sister, did you really go to Beijing to find Xu Yan?"
"Hmm."
"Second sister, do you think the family will let us both go to college? The eldest sister has only one and three books so easily, and if I have another three, my father and mother will definitely not let me read it. Mei Ju said as she lowered her head and kicked a stone with great resentment.
In fact, Mei Ju's grades are indeed only enough for one or three books, otherwise, she would not have picked up her parents' idea of beating Mei Lan, and finally made a mess out of control.
"Second sister, why have you changed like a different person these days, you don't like to talk anymore, and you don't like to talk to me anymore." Mei Ju pursed her mouth and was coquettish.
"Let's go back, grandma and uncle are waiting at home." Merlin didn't want to answer that question.
Mei Lan's uncle is a mathematics teacher at Meixian No. 1 Middle School, and her aunt is a primary school teacher, who raised funds for a three-bedroom house in the school a few years ago, and the husband and wife live in the school, and there is a twelve-year-old boy named Deng Pengfei.
Mei Lan studied in No. 1 Middle School, and her living expenses and pocket money for three years were basically given by her uncle, speaking of which, in Mei Lan's heart, this uncle was even closer than her father, of course, she just thought about it.
Because, she looks very similar to the Mei Ju sisters, there is no reason why they are not sisters, the Mei family has enough children, and it is impossible to help others raise children.
"Second sister, second sister, will you really take me out to play tomorrow night?" Mei Ju grabbed Mei Lan's clothes and interrupted Mei Lan's distraction.
"Belt."
If she could, Mei Lan really didn't want to take Mei Ju, Mei Lan, Anita Mui, and Jin Jing had always been in the real yàn class, and the third year of high school was assigned to class zero, and she was the top of the top, but Mei Ju has always been in the ordinary class, but in the past three years, in addition to the time spent in class, she has been following Mei Lan, and Mei Lan's classmates and friends have gradually accepted this follower.
And the reason why Mei Ju is willing to follow Mei Lan is that the classmates around Mei Lan are very good at reading, and the second is that most of these classmates have very good family backgrounds, and two of them fell in love with Mei Ju and chased Mei Ju for two years.
Mei Ju saw Mei Lan spit out the word "belt", so she let go of her hand, and no longer asked why her love was abnormal.
College entrance examination, who doesn't have pressure?
Mei Lan and Mei Ju had just turned into the wall of the living quarters, and they saw an old rural lady in her sixties standing there and looking, and when they saw Mei Lan and Mei Ju, the old man's face was immediately full of smiles.
This is Mei Lan's grandmother Liu Qiaozhen, knowing that Mei Lan and Mei Ju took the college entrance examination, she specially caught two ducks from the countryside, saying that she wanted to make up for the two children's brains, because she knew that the child's mother would not have time to run this trip.
"Are you done?" Liu Qiaozhen asked.
"After the exam, grandma, did you come to pick us up?" Mei Ju held Liu Qiaozhen's arm and smiled sweetly.
Liu Qiaozhen stretched out her other hand and took Mei Lan's hand, Mei Lan's hand was obviously much rougher than Mei Ju's hand, and then looked at Mei Lan's body, it was still the school uniform, Mei Ju's body was a half-new dress, and the old man's heart couldn't help but feel sad.
Mei Lan didn't notice the change in her grandmother's feelings, she just hugged the old man and went upstairs while laughing, Deng Peng heard the movement and opened the door without waiting to knock.
"Second sister, third sister, is there any baked paste?" Deng Pengfei asked with a smile.
"Watching TV again, have you finished your homework, go back and be careful of your uncle's fried meat with bamboo shoots."
Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots is a local mantra that is to be spanked with a bamboo whip.
"Oh oh, it's boring, it's this sentence every time." Deng Pengfei grimaced at Mei Lan and stuck out his tongue.
Mei Lan didn't even put her schoolbag, so she reached out and pulled Deng Peng's face a few times, and at this time, her aunt Yang Yu came out.
"This kid is a hippie smiling face all day long, and you also follow your second sister to learn and see how people work hard all day long?"
"Aunt, the boy matures late, he can rush to study whenever he wants, and Peng Peng is not bad, so don't push him too hard. Auntie, I'll help you make dinner, and Uncle should be back in a moment. Mei Lan said as she put down her schoolbag and washed her hands and went into the kitchen, helping to pick, wash, and chop vegetables neatly.
Outside, Mei Ju was full of heat, opened the refrigerator and got a popsicle, and then sat on the sofa and watched TV while talking to Deng Peng, after eating the popsicle, she took her clothes and went to take a bath.
When Mei Ju finished taking a bath, Deng Jianwen entered the door and dinner was ready.
"Merlin did it again, right?" Deng Jianwen knew it as soon as he saw the knife work and dishes.
Yang Yu is the eldest in the family, and grew up in the city, she can't do housework since she was a child, and she is also clumsy now, not that she can't do it well, but she can't do it quickly, she really has to make a meal alone, and it is estimated that the people who are waiting will be starving and fainting.
"Who does it or not, Lan Lan is quick with her hands and feet, Peng Peng's mother is not idle, eating." Liu Qiaozhen was afraid that her daughter-in-law's face would not look good, so she played a round.
Although this daughter-in-law has a lot of problems, she has never looked down on their rural relatives, in the past few years, Meizhu has studied here, and her sons have built a lot of them inside and out, and her daughter-in-law has not given the children a look, just this, Liu Qiaozhen is content.
"Mei Lan, there will be an answer announced on the Internet in a while, you go and estimate how many points you can get." Deng Jianwen changed the subject.
"Uncle, don't worry, I feel that I am doing very well, it will not be worse than usual, there are six hundred and forty fifty points."
It's also strange to say, Mei Lan feels that her brain seems to be better after being reborn, reasoning, she left her high school course for three years, and she should have forgotten about it, but Mei Lan found that her memory was very clear, not only that, but the problem that she didn't know before would be solved after a little thought.
If it weren't for the fear of being in the limelight and attracting attention, Mei Lan felt that she could almost get perfect marks in mathematics, English and science.
Of course, Mei Lan didn't do that, and if nothing else, her grades would be slightly higher than her normal level, which would be enough for her to go to the university of her dreams.
"Yes, if this is the case, you can't get into Q big B big, you can also get into r big and y big."
"Isn't Y University the school where Xia Tong studied?" Mei Ju's eyes lit up.
Xia Tong (note) is the legend of Meixian No. 1 Middle School, everyone knows it, her younger brother Xia Zhang is now also studying in Meixian No. 1 Middle School, Xia Tong bought a house for her younger brother and grandmother in No. 1 Middle School, just two buildings in front of her uncle's house.
Mei Lan and Mei Ju have not seen Xia Tong herself, but they have seen her grandmother and her high-ranking boyfriend.
"I want to go to R's University."
The reason why Y University is not considered is because Mei Lan knows that Y University has built a new campus, and new students will have to move to the suburbs, and Mei Lan is going to take her grandmother to Beijing for treatment during the Chinese New Year, and it is really inconvenient for the school to be in the suburbs.
"Second sister, you have a book to study, I must go out to work, my family will definitely not be able to afford our three sisters to go to college, Mei Xin is going to high school when school starts." When Mei Ju thought of this, she felt irritable and panicked in her heart.
No, she definitely can't be the one who stays at home, she can't watch Meizhu and Meilan become city people in the future, and she is working hard outside, just like her mother.
Note: For the story of Xia Tong, see "Rebirth into a Butterfly", a girl who travels from modern times to ancient times and is reborn back to modern times, and uses what she has learned in ancient times to gain career and love in modern times.
In this book, she's just a soy sauce beater.
