Time flies, and I am busy all day long, and I don't feel that half a year has passed.

On July 7, the first day of the national college entrance examination, the weather was extremely hot. In order to create a good environment for the candidates, the Municipal Education Bureau specially transferred six trucks of ice from the cold storage and sent them into the examination room in large plastic drums piece by piece.

This is the second time in the history of the Zhang family to take the college entrance examination, and Wu Xiulan took three days off to ensure that Zhang Lin can eat well, sleep well, dress well and take the exam well in the past few days. Especially in the morning, there are sticky cakes and zongzi, which take the homonym of "high school", which is particularly exquisite.

Even Ding Aiguo and Gu Hongxia took the time to come, and the charter was naturally indispensable, and even brought a large wooden box for selling cigarettes, and while waiting outside the examination room, they peddled it to the parents who gathered in the shade of the tree to wait.

It is worth mentioning that cigarette sellers also have the professional ethics of cigarette sellers!

At this critical moment when the carp jumped over the dragon gate, he only walked around in front of people with a cigarette case, and did not shout at the messy slip as usual. He spoke in a lower voice than the parents, so much so that the police officers who maintained order were embarrassed to drive him away.

"Isn't this a charter, how...... Are you also taking the college entrance examination? ”

As soon as two packs of red plums were sold, a girl with big braids and a white dress appeared in front of her, which turned out to be her former classmate Bai Xiaoyan.

I haven't seen him for half a year, but I've grown taller and more beautiful.

It's just that this kind of knowingly ridiculous and disdainful eyes lowered her impression in the eyes of the charter. After all, physical beauty is important, but spiritual beauty is even more important.

A little girl who is ignorant of the world, the charter naturally does not care about her, holding the big wooden box on her chest and saying with a wry smile: "I want to participate, but I don't have that condition." ”

Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, Bai Xiaoyan, who was going to laugh at it again, finished speaking, looked at the dazzling array of cigarettes in the box, and asked curiously: "Charter, how much money can you make selling cigarettes for a day?" ”

"Small business, you can't make a lot of money, just make a living."

It's really a poor and short-minded person, how much do you want him to drag back then? He is excellent in character and learning, and he is the son of a martyr, almost all teachers like him, and he overwhelms himself with his grades, which are also very good. I kept holding my breath to overtake him, but I didn't expect that after a winter vacation, he actually left the campus by dropping out.

The charter looked pitiful, which made Bai Xiaoyan feel like she was punching the air, and she was silent for a while before she said softly: "It's a pity that you dropped out of school, if you insist on finishing junior high school and high school, you will have a good chance of being admitted to college in the future." And you are also a child of martyrs, you can get extra points in the college entrance examination. ”

It's very kind, the charter felt very surprised, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Old classmate, are you sympathizing with me, or are you laughing at me?" ”

Bai Xiaoyan gave him a roll of his eyes, pouted and muttered: "Everyone said that it was a pity for you, but you really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"It's a pity for me...... It's a really special way of expressing it. ”

"Forget it, don't quarrel with you, get me a pack of cigarettes, and ask for the most haode."

"Sorry, I don't have a lady cigarette."

"Charter, why are you like this? Are you afraid that I won't give money? Bai Xiaoyan took out two ten-yuan bills and pointed to the Marlboro in the top row: "I want this pack, twenty is not enough, I will give it if it is not enough." ”

In the end, it is the daughter of the deputy mayor's family, and the pocket money she carries with her is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker. Sympathy for the disadvantaged is a virtue, and the charter thinks it is necessary to satisfy her overflowing sympathy, shaking her head and smiling bitterly: "Old classmate, this smoke is really more than twenty, or you can look at the others." ”

"I just want this bag, is it enough to give another ten yuan?"

"That's enough, there's still something to find."

After doing a good deed and not hurting other people's self-esteem, Bai Xiaoyan was in a very comfortable mood, and ran to the opposite side with the change she had just found to buy two cream ice creams, one for herself and one for herself, and stood in the shade of the tree and ate it beautifully.

"Where do you usually sell cigarettes, I haven't met you in the past few months."

"It's usually near the power machinery factory, so far away from the school, and it's not on the way, you definitely can't touch it," he said, shaking the ice cream in his hand, and then said, "You invite me this time, and I'll invite you next time." ”

"Isn't it just an ice cream, as for the distribution so clearly?"

"I'm all self-reliant, how can I take advantage of you as a student anymore."

"But the conditions of your home ...... Not to mention this, after the college entrance examination, I will take the high school entrance examination, and my father wants me to go to high school and then take the university entrance examination, so he asked me to feel the atmosphere of the college entrance examination. My mom didn't want me to go to high school, she wanted me to apply for middle school, saying that it was safe to go to high school, charter, do you say it's better to go to high school or middle school? ”

It's already very good for people to have a school, but she is worried about whether to be admitted to the middle school or to go to high school and university. The charter automatically filtered out the elements of showing off in her words, and sincerely persuaded: "Old classmate, I suggest that you still go to high school and take the college entrance examination." After all, middle school teachers can only be teachers when they come out, and there will be more and more choices after graduating from university. ”

Bai Xiaoyan pointed to his forehead and said with a smile: "But I like to be a teacher, and when the time comes, I can teach a lesson to boys like you who don't go to school well." ”

The charter was happy, and joked very cooperatively: "Teacher Bai, I don't hope to teach a lesson, but it is very likely to teach my future children." It seems that I have to stammer with you sooner, so that my child will always be punished by you in the future. ”

"Kid of the future!" Bai Xiaoyan sighed lightly and reminded kindly: "Charter, it's not that I look down on you, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a wife in the future." ”

No education, no formal job, on the surface, it's really like that.

However, society is evolving, and with the passage of time, the so-called formal work is not necessarily reliable. What's more, this charter is not the other charter, and it has a grand plan for its future, and has achieved phased results in the original accumulation.

For Bai Xiaoyan's kind reminder, the charter could only live up to her kindness, and she was about to divert the topic, when she suddenly heard a piercing bell in the examination room.

It's out, it's all out!

The candidates poured out of the examination room like a tide, and they could see from their expressions who did well in the exam and who was likely to lose their name. Bai Xiaoyan threw down the sentence "I have time to go to the power machinery factory to find you" and left, and hurriedly packed the wooden box to meet her mother.

Zhang Lin seemed to be playing well, with a happy face, and when she saw the charter running over with a cigarette case, she leaned into his ear and asked eagerly: "San'er, tell me the truth with my sister, what's going on with the essay topic?" ”

The essay topic of the college entrance examination in '87 is to write a brief newsletter about "Yumin Primary School Runs a Swimming Training Class" based on the materials provided.

The charter clearly remembers that the second sister in the previous life did not write this newsletter well, and went back to say that "art is higher than life and should also come from life", not only does she not know how to swim, but she doesn't even have a swimming pool in the entire South Coast, and she has no experience of what kind of good article can be written out of thin air?

So a week before the college entrance examination, the charter deliberately took out this topic for her to practice, and wrote no less than 20 articles before and after. It seems that history has not changed because of his heavy work, and the topic is still the same topic, but I don't know how much it will help Zhang Lin's total score.

"I picked it up when I was selling cigarettes at the gate of the Education Bureau," of course, the charter couldn't tell the truth, pointing to Ding Aiguo and the others in front of him and laughing: "Come on, Mom and Uncle Ding are in a hurry." ”

The next two days were smooth sailing, and the teacher did not organize the evaluation until the zuihou took the first exam.

I don't know if it was stimulated by the charter dropping out of school, working harder and harder in revision, or because she played her best level in the examination room, Zhang Lin actually estimated five hundred and six points! You must know that the teachers are very conservative in their evaluation, they would rather underestimate than overestimate, and if they count the 20-point bonus points for the children of martyrs, they should be admitted if nothing else, which makes the whole family ecstatic.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

In the days of waiting for the announcement of the college entrance examination results and admission scores, Wu Xiulan suffered from gains and losses, and was always nervous. After the exam, Zhang Lin had to go to the warehouse to help every day as if she was nothing.

Although Wu Xiaozhu dropped out of school halfway like the charter, he also went to junior high school for a few days and studied "Fan Jin Zhongju", for fear that something would happen to this cousin, he couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, are you really not nervous at all?" ”

Zhang Lin closed the account book with a "snap", and said with a smile: "If you can't take the exam this year, you won't take the exam tomorrow, and if you can't take the exam next year, there will be the year after tomorrow, anyway, you will help me earn tuition, what's there to be nervous about?" ”

Wu Xiaozhu asked again heartlessly: "What if you can't pass the exam the year after tomorrow?" ”

"That's the year after that."

"Then you're not an old girl?"

Zhang Lin was made laughable, and pretended to be angry and asked, "What's wrong with the old girl, you won't support me anymore, old girl?" ”

"Raise it, we will raise you for a lifetime."

"That's pretty much it."

As he was talking, Zhang Bing rushed back on his bicycle sweating profusely, and he didn't even bother to drink the water for him in the morning, so he panted and said, "Xiao Lin, the college entrance examination results and admission score line have been announced." You took the test 523, and the admission score line was 501, which is a full 13 points more! This is not counting the extra points for the children of martyrs, you were admitted, you were really admitted! ”

After ten years of cold windows, she finally did not disappoint her mother, Zhang Lin was overjoyed and couldn't help shedding two lines of happy tears.

Wu Xiaozhu was also very happy, and said to himself: "I was admitted...... I need to tell my aunt to go. ”

"No need, I just came from home, and Aunt Wu already knows. Xiaozhu, what are you still doing, call your grandparents to report the good news. ”

"Yes, yes, call quickly."

After receiving the news of her granddaughter's high school, her grandparents, uncles, aunts and aunts were very happy, and immediately decided to take a bus ticket to the city tomorrow to celebrate Zhang Lin.

The children are all on summer vacation, and they will definitely come along, at least two dozen of them. After learning about the charter, he hurriedly packed up the warehouse and laid the floor, otherwise the relatives who had finally come to the trip would not even have a place to sleep.
