Chapter 288: Preparing for the College Entrance Examination
"Sister Xiaomi, you must take the exam well, and when I grow up in the future, I will also go to the university you went to."
Niuniu's milky voice broke the silence between the five people, and Grandma Wang handed the white-flour bun in her hand to Amy's hand, her throat seemed to be stuck with something, and she couldn't say a word.
She knew in her heart that the two children in her own family who had the longest review time in the entire Mao'er Village were probably their own children, no matter whether others could be admitted to college or not, these two children were ninety percent sure anyway.
Logically speaking, it is a good thing that they can be admitted to university, but Grandma Wang knows better in her heart that there are few days for them to go to college and return to Mao'er Village, and these two children, who they regard as their own grandchildren, may be very difficult to meet in the future.
Although Niuniu is small, she also thought of this, and looked at Amy sitting on the ox cart, her nose was sore, and tears fell.
She stubbornly wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, reached out and pulled into her pocket, and pulled out two pieces of fruit candy with crumpled packaging.
She lowered her head and looked at the two pieces of candy in her hand, as if she was reluctant, and then raised her head and handed it to Amy, with a slight cry in her voice:
"Sister Xiaomi, these two pieces of candy were given to me by you during the New Year, I have never been willing to eat them, and now I give them to you, you must not forget me!"
Amy looked at the sugar in her palm, her eyes were a little wet, she reached out and rubbed her head, and took a deep breath:
"How can it be, Sister Xiaomi will never forget such a cute girl in her life, my sister just went to take the exam this time, and she will be back in a few days, besides, are you so sure that I can be admitted to college? If you fail the exam, you will have to go back to the village and stay with you for a year in the future, and I hope that when the time comes, you and grandma will not dislike me. ”
"Sister Xiaomi, don't worry, even if you can't get into college, we won't dislike you, now that I'm older, I can earn a job to support you and grandma."
Amy stretched out her hand again and touched her little head, instructing:
"After Sister Xiaomi is gone, you have to take good care of your grandma, usually you have nothing to do, you can help grandma with housework, I have chopped a lot of firewood with your brother Xiaoming in the past few days, and I don't have to worry about this problem in recent months."
"Hmm," Niuniu's little head little by little, her mouth kept agreeing:
"Sister Xiaomi, don't worry, I will take care of my grandmother, and you also have to take care of your body!"
"Well, don't worry, I will."
After speaking, Amy moved forward, and held Grandma Wang's wrinkled, calloused hands with both hands:
"Grandma, you take Niuniu and go back quickly, the weather is really not warm today, don't we haven't left yet, you have a cold and cold."
Grandma Wang patted her hands with a look of kindness:
"Mi, you can rest assured, I came out today to wear a lot, although I am old, but I can still take care of Niuniu, you don't have to worry about us, when you get over there, you must take the test well, and strive to get us admitted to a college student, grandma can also raise her eyebrows in the village."
"Well, grandma, don't worry, I will definitely do well in the exam."
The group of people chatted for a while, and Uncle Li's ox cart started.
Amy looked at the tears on Niuniu's face, and wanted to lean over to wipe it, but was stopped by Minke, she looked back, Minke pulled her sleeve and said:
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we come back from the exam, your main task now is to sit quietly on the ox cart and don't fall down halfway."
"Oooh," Amy nodded, moved in, and continued to wave goodbye to Niu Niu until neither of them could see the other's figure.
Along the way, the atmosphere on the ox cart was lifeless, and Yan Xiaoxi cried all the way in Zhou Yize's arms.
Soon the ox cart arrived in the town, and Uncle Li saw that everyone had a lot of luggage, so he took the initiative to send them to the train station.
A group of people on the ox cart bought tickets for the nearest train, and the train came after more than an hour.
got on the train, Amy found that several people from Mao'er Village were basically arranged in the same carriage, and only Wang Hao, Liu Jianfang, Zhao Peng, and Li Ning were in the latter carriage.
Amy was very satisfied with this result, and if the conductor's aunt accidentally placed the four of them in the same carriage as her, she would be disgusted all the way.
By noon, the train had reached the next town, and just as the train doors were about to close, an anxious voice came:
"Comrade, comrade, please do well, help me open the carriages, I just went to bed, the briefcase in my hand was stolen by a thief, I have to get out of the car now and chase the briefcase back, there are very important things for me in it."
He was answered only by the shouts of the staff and the merciless refusal:
"You're such an adult, why don't you know how to protect your own things, now that the train is about to start, how can I put you down? At such a fast speed, do you want to go down and find death? Even if you want to die, I don't want to lose my job! ”
After saying this, the staff twisted their waists and left.
The man squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, looking both self-reproach and remorse.
When the people on the train saw the man like this, there were ridicule and sympathy, but the common thing was that everyone grabbed what they were holding.
Then, Amy and Minco overheard a conversation between the two people behind them:
"This man is so pitiful, it is said that he has not eaten for two days, and when he woke up, he was paying for food, and his briefcase was snatched away."
"Yes, yes, I know what that thief looks like, I thought that the man's long legs would definitely be able to catch up with the thief, but I didn't expect that he was too cunning, and he actually ran out while the train door was open."
"Yes, you said, at this time, I just happened to encounter the train door and closed, this man is afraid that he will be miserable today, he will not eat for several days, even if he is beaten with iron, he can't stand it!"
“……”
That being said, neither of them had the intention of getting up and calling the man over.
Amy and Minke glanced at each other, and Minke instantly understood what he meant.
Getting up and walking over to the man, not knowing what to say to him, the man stood up and looked at Amy's seat, then nodded, and followed Minco over.
It was only when she walked in front of her that Amy could see the appearance of this man, a very thin and very thin man, with a pair of large black-framed round glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a slightly wrinkled suit.
Amy looked at him, her mind hadn't figured out how to speak, she felt that a person like this must have a strong sense of self-esteem, and she definitely didn't want others to see his downfall.
So she wondered if there were any words that would express her friendliness without hurting the self-esteem of others.
Before she could think of it, Ming Ke had already spoken, he made a "please" gesture towards the man, and then lowered his head and took out two steamed buns wrapped in yellow oiled paper from his satchel and handed them to the man.
The man was also starved. grabbed the steamed bun and took a bite, not caring about his image at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Yize, who was sitting next to the man, moved the kettle in his hand to the man.
Yan Xiaoxi, who was opposite him, saw Amy and Ming Ke's actions, he only felt hypocritical and contrived, and now no one looked at it, they also gave the steamed buns to the man, you must know that although his father is the branch secretary, he only brought her two steamed buns.
Such a precious thing, Amy actually gave such a homeless man, and she really did anything for that good reputation.
Mingke looked at the gobbling man, and then at Amy, who was worried and afraid of the man's choking, and was glad that this girl was his own.
Whether it is herself with a cold and high fever, or the man in front of her, she has never known her, for the sake of two people who have never known each other, she can give her most precious thing, and there should be no second one in this world.
After two or three minutes, the man finished eating the two steamed buns in his hand, he picked up the kettle next to him, poured a few sips of cold water into a large and large one, and then burped not particularly rudely, turned back to Ming Ke with a smile and said:
"It's really these little friends today, are you going to Jiangcheng?"
"Yes, let's go to Jiangcheng to take the college entrance examination."
Amy replied with a smile as she tossed the trash from the table into the trash.
"It's a high school student! If I'm not mistaken, there should be a few days left before the college entrance examination, and you guys are going to take the train to Jiangcheng now, isn't it a little early? ”
When the man said Jiang Cheng, his original decadent expression disappeared, the expression on his face became particularly vivid, and he stretched out his big palm and patted his chest and said:
"Don't hide it from a few little friends, I was originally from Jiangcheng, but because of a little situation at home, I went to Baili Town to stay inside, and now I want to go to Jiangcheng to prepare for the opening of Jiangcheng University. Although I can't help in other aspects, but I still have a little bit of a problem about the exam questions of this college entrance examination, if you are not confident in your exam, you can come to me, I will give you a few sets of test papers, guess the questions of the college entrance examination in advance. ”
Amy hurriedly waved her hand:
"No, no, no, we just heard that you haven't eaten for a long time, and we didn't finish the extra dry food in your bag before we called you over, and we didn't mean anything else."
Seeing that Amy had misunderstood what he meant, the man hurriedly opened his mouth and explained:
"I know that Xiaoyou didn't help me to get anything, but I just don't like to owe favors to others, so I will find a way to help you."
"However, I am quite confident that I will take the college entrance examination, and I don't need to guess the questions!"
Amy said this with some hesitation, she was a little afraid that the man opposite would mistake her for a proud and complacent person.
