Chapter 11 The Olive Branch of Nanhua College

The sun rose in the early morning, and the courtyard gradually became lively, Grandma Gu went out early in the morning to buy a fish, and along the way, she said that her good granddaughter had taken the first exam in the city.

Grandma Gu is 62 years old this year, her body is strong and tough, she cooks good dishes, she is kind, and she always has a smile on her face.

She neatly cleaned up the fish by the faucet, and the people in the courtyard all shared a courtyard, morning and evening, especially lively, washing vegetables, chopping meat, stir-frying, and brushing pots...... It was also mixed with their small chatter and laughter.

"Yo! Grandma Gu, make a big meal today! Such a big fish. Uncle Zhang next door stared at his grandmother neatly packing up a big carp weighing about two catties and said.

You must know that Grandma Gu's family is usually very thrifty, either green vegetables or tofu, it is rare to see meat once a month, if it is not for the New Year's Festival, it is difficult to see fish, what a big day it is today.

"For Yanran, she likes to eat fish." Grandma Gu's face was smiling like a flower.

"Didn't you just tell you last night! Yanran took the high school entrance examination this time and took the first place in the city. Aunt Zhang gently bumped Uncle Zhang with her arm and said.

"Oops! The carp jumps over the dragon gate! No wonder you're making fish! It's time to celebrate, Grandma Gu, wait a minute...... I just made a few pieces of braised pork today, and you can bring them to Yanran to taste. Uncle Zhang hurriedly took out a few pieces of braised pork from the pot and put them in a bowl and handed them to Grandma Gu.

There are several families living in the courtyard, getting along well, who makes something delicious, especially the meaty things always like to give two pieces to the neighbors, and the neighbors share the delicious taste of each family while also conveying the atmosphere of harmony.

At 6 o'clock, Yanran woke up on time.

She had long been accustomed to waking up from the noise of the yard and the trivial conversation of the neighbors, and there was warmth in the plainness.

The early morning sun shone on her plain face through the lattice curtains on the glass window, and she stretched her waist to look at her sleepy sister beside her, and caressed her forehead lovingly, revealing a shallow pear vortex.

Yan Yu is three years younger than Yan Ran, and she will go to junior high school when school starts again. The eyelashes were soft and slender, lying beside Yanran obediently, her forehead was covered with thin sweat, and her face was a little pale.

Last night, Yan Yu suddenly had a high fever, took some antipyretic medicine, and she and her grandmother wiped her body with alcohol every few hours, and finally got rid of the fever in the second half of the night.

The little girl gently pinched her delicate nose dotingly.

Today's breakfast was very rich, a big carp, grandma said that Yanran was the first prize in the city.

After the family finished breakfast, they received a phone call, and the voice on the other end of the phone was pleasant.

To put it simply, every year in the high school entrance examination, the city's first name is all in Nanhua High School, but this time, it was defeated by a little-known town middle school.

This is the first time since the establishment of Nanhua High School, and the principal threw an olive branch to Yanran in order not to write this shame into the school history of Nanhua.

If Yanran becomes a student of Nanhua, then the first in the city is still Nanhua.

Of course, in order to attract Yanran enough, the school also offered her enough attractive conditions:

1. Waiver of all expenses incurred in school, including tuition, books, accommodation, meals and other miscellaneous expenses.

2. Generous scholarship system, the first scholarship is 50,000 RMB, the second scholarship is 30,000 RMB, and the third scholarship is 20,000 RMB.

Third, the guaranteed place, if you have excellent grades in high school for three years and have no bad records, you will enjoy the opportunity to be sent to a key university in China.

Such lucrative conditions are definitely a big temptation for a child who has just passed his 15th birthday. confused, especially for people from families like Yanran.

Yanran really had no reason to refuse, only said that she would discuss it with her parents.

After hanging up the phone, Yanran fell into deep thought.

In fact, before changing her life, Yanran did not have such distress, or did not have the opportunity to be distressed, because she missed the first place in the city by one point, but she also entered the city's key middle school with an absolute advantage, and then was admitted to a key domestic university with her hard work.

The monk studied hard for three years, and finally opened the door of time, which gave Yanran 2 more points in the high school entrance examination, and it was these two points that gave her the choice to change her fate.

Whether or not to enter Nanhua High School will directly affect her fate.

If you decide to enter Nanhua, will Yanran's fate be smooth all the way? Not necessarily!

But if it hadn't entered South China, the outcome would have been a foregone conclusion.

In fact, even if she chooses to enter Nanhua, it does not necessarily mean that her life will be smooth from now on, and her life is not so easy to change.

In the share of the day, there have already been masters who have turned a corner for her.

From now on, it will depend on how Yanran chooses and how to face the thorns on the road of life.

Of course, the current Yanran didn't know that the decision she made today would directly change her life in the future.

But she knows very well that with the current conditions of her family, entering Nanhua to study will reduce a lot of burden on her family.

It will also be a great opportunity for her to waive all tuition and fees, and there will be generous scholarships every semester, even if she only gets a first-class scholarship once, or a few second-class scholarships, her college tuition will be settled, not to mention the guaranteed places in key universities in China.

It's just that the words of aristocratic school make her a little daunting.

"Noble ......," Yan Ran muttered to herself.

**********

At noon, the sun was surprisingly poisonous, and the courtyard with blue tiles and white walls had been around for some years, and it was said that large landlords lived a long time ago, and later the People's Liberation Army beat the landlords and gave them to these poor people.

The ground of the compound is paved with thick stone bricks, because of the age, the ground is potholed, and the sun bakes a thin layer of smoke.

There is a banyan tree that can shade the sun at the door of Yanran's house, and Grandma Gu is lying on the rocking chair and swaying, already sleepy, half-closed eyes, as if closed.

A little yellow dog stuck out its tongue and lay lazily at Grandma Gu's feet, squinting boredly.

Yan Yu and a few children of the same age in the courtyard were playing by the faucet in the corner to blow bubbles, and the colorful bubbles were crystal clear in the sunlight.

The breeze blew gently, and the leaves of the banyan tree crewed gently, which seemed to disturb the napping silkworms, and the silkworm cries sounded in the hot summer, becoming more and more hot.

The children played quietly in the corner, and I don't know who knocked over the basin of water that had been placed on the ground, sprinkled it on the sun-baked ground, and a thin smoke rose with a "poof". It squeaked and smoked as if a basin of water had been poured into an overheated pan of oil.

The latest temperatures of this summer have been broadcast on the radio, and the heat is unstoppable.
