Ru's mother cut a plate of fruit and sat on the sofa with Ruchu to eat. When Ru's father cleaned up and walked out of the kitchen, he saw Ruchu and Ru's mother discussing the characters in the TV series enthusiastically. For example, Dad walks to the couch and sits down. Ruchu looked at Ru's father and sat down, and asked, "Dad, what are you going to tell me?"

If your father doesn't answer, she asks Ruchu: "How are you studying lately, you will take the college entrance examination soon, are you confident?" ”

When it comes to studying, the enthusiasm for watching TV for the first time is gone, and he says, "It's still like that, although Lin Xuan helped me make up for a few days of class and made up a lot of knowledge points that I didn't master, but for the college entrance examination, these knowledge points are just a drop in the bucket." The content of the college entrance examination is so extensive, I am not sure"

Ru's father looked at Ruchu's lack of confidence, hesitated for a while, and said, "Why don't you go to a university abroad?" I have a friend whose son studied medicine in Cambridge, England, and knows a lot of people over there. He said that if you wanted to go, he could ask his son to contact the school for you. As long as you have enough IELTS score, you can sort out the necessary personal information, and his son can help you get it for you. If it's fast, I can go there in September this year to report. ”

Since I started high school, several students have applied to foreign schools and have been successfully admitted, but I never thought that I would study abroad. If I didn't know how to decide for a while, should I accept my father's suggestion to avoid the devil's college entrance examination by going to study abroad? Or do you continue to fight hard like most of your classmates just to give it a go in the college entrance examination?

Ru's father asked Ruchu to think about it and make a decision carefully.

The next day

Ruchu had been thinking about Ru Dad's advice last night, and finally kept thinking about falling asleep and didn't make a final decision. Today's class has been unable to concentrate, the teacher said that the knowledge points did not listen to any of the points, and finally survived until the end of class, as soon as the beginning of the class changed from the past class to talk and laugh with the same table, sit quietly in their seats and ponder. Wen Yuan discovered the abnormality of Ruchu from the beginning of class, so he sat next to Ruchu after class and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Wandering in class? ”

As at first, I was puzzled, how did Wen Yuan know that he was distracted, and asked, "We are so far apart, how do you know that I am distracted?" ”

Wen Yuan said: "I watched the class three times, and every time I glanced at you, you kept the same movement and didn't change, isn't it distracted?" Could it be that he is frozen by a ghost? ”

Ruchu knew that Wen Yuan had always been talking to him in such a joking style, so he pretended to be serious and said, "Can you talk well?" ”

Wen Yuan put away the jokes, and then said, "Then let me ask you seriously, what are you thinking about in class?" ”

Ruchu said, "I'm thinking, how to go in the future" Wen Yuan listened to Ruchu's answer, a little incomprehensible, and asked, "What is the future road, how to go, how to go, how to go?" ”

Ruchu said, "I'm not joking with you, I'm very serious about asking you again" Wen Yuan looked at Xiangzi, who was very serious at the beginning, and replied very seriously, "Actually, I didn't think about how to go in the future, I just thought about the future and talked about it later, I just need to live the present, you know, since junior high school, my goal has not only been what I want to do, but what I can do with Hu Zheng." What about you? What do you think? ”

Ruchu did not answer Wen Yuan's question, but continued to ask Wen Yuan, "Do you want to go to university abroad?" With our results, if you are in China, you can't get into any good universities, and if you go abroad, you can apply to a slightly better university? ”

Wen Yuan replied without thinking, "I didn't think about it. I am now a sports student, my physical education test results are very good, as long as the cultural class is on the line, I can go to a better university to study physical education. As for studying abroad, Hu Zheng said that she wanted to study abroad in the future, and I wanted to accompany her. You ask me this because you have an idea? ”

Ruchu told Wen Yuan about the suggestion made by Ru's father yesterday. Wen Yuan thought for a while and said, "I think Uncle Ru's suggestion is very good, you can think about it, after all, having the experience of studying abroad will be of great help to find a job in China in the future, or I will talk to Lin Xuan and Hu Zheng after school at noon and see what they say."

Ruchu agreed with Wen Yuan's statement, and was going to wait for school at noon to listen to Lin Xuan and Hu Zheng's suggestions. The bell rings, and classes are about to start again. Wen Yuan got up and said to Ruchu, "Then don't think about this now, go to class first, and then talk about it after school at noon."

When it was finally time for lunch, the four of them sat down at a table again and began their brief meeting and dinner together during the school day.

Ruchu also told Lin Xuan and Hu Zheng about his thoughts, wanting to see what suggestions the two of them had. Hu Zheng said: "I think Uncle Ru's proposal is very good, you can apply directly to foreign universities, you don't have to take the college entrance examination with us, and you can reduce a little pressure on yourself." In addition, Lin Xuan and I both have the idea of studying abroad, maybe we can go to the same country. ”

Lin Xuan said, "I also think that going abroad is a good choice, because I can meet more people, enjoy more scenery, and learn more about culture and customs." "However, our advice is just a suggestion, and as for how to choose, it depends on what you think," Lin Xuan added.

Ruchu said depressedly, "I just don't know how to choose now, forget it, don't talk about it, let's eat first, I have to go back to the classroom to write my homework after eating!" ”

When I came home from school in the afternoon, Ru's father went home early to cook the meal, waiting for Ru to come back and start the meal. As soon as she changed into slippers, Ru's father said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat"

Ruchu answered while putting the schoolbag like a father.

During the meal, Ru's father asked Ruchu again, "What do you think about it, do you want to go abroad?" ”

Ruchu said while picking up vegetables, "I haven't thought about it yet, I stay in China to take the college entrance examination, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into a good university, if I go abroad, I'm alone, I'm not familiar with life, if I get lost, I can't find a way back, I'm a little scared" Ru's father looked at Ruchu's indecisive appearance and said, "No matter what, you have to make a choice as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have to choose if you miss the application time." ”

There is a mock test on the weekend, this time the mock test is a provincial test, and the teacher said that through the results of this exam, you can basically analyze the results of the college entrance examination. After this exam, some students will have to make some choices related to their future, whether to continue to take the college entrance examination, or enter a college degree school through individual enrollment. So the teacher asked everyone to go all out and take this exam seriously. Before the exam, Ruchu carefully reviewed the knowledge points that Lin Xuan gave her during the winter vacation.

The arrival of Wednesday made the students look forward to it and be nervous, because the results of the test will be released today. During recess, Mr. Liu, the head teacher, walked into the classroom with the grade registration form. The noisy students in the classroom immediately fell silent, and they all stared nervously at the report card in the teacher's hand.

Ruchu was even more nervous, in this mock exam, Ruchu didn't arrange the time well, so she didn't have time to finish reading several questions and wrote them directly, but fortunately, she did a good job of the question types that Lin Xuan tutored her during the winter vacation. As he stared at Teacher Liu intently, Teacher Liu walked to the podium and said, "Students, the results of this exam have come out, although our total score is at the bottom, but it is gratifying that some students in the class have made great progress in this exam, I hope these students will continue to work hard, and I also hope that other students can learn from the students who have progressed and strive for a better result in the next exam." Okay, you're going to class soon, and I'll talk about the grade analysis at my class meeting, I'll put the report card here, and you can pass it around and look at it yourself, oh, by the way, as before, come to my office."

Listening to Mr. Liu calling him to the office, he thought to himself, "It's over, I must have failed in the exam" and followed Mr. Liu nervously as before. After entering the office, he stood there with his head bowed, like a prisoner who had committed a serious crime and was waiting to be judged. Teacher Liu said, "Don't be so nervous, it's not a bad thing to come to you, I have a report card on my desk, you can take a look at it yourself, I'll pour a glass of water first"

Listening to Mr. Liu say that it was not a bad thing, Ruchu relaxed a little, took the report card, and looked for his name. The grades are not bad, and there is a big improvement from the last final exam.

When he was happy, Mr. Liu said, "As early, your grades are very good this time, and you have made great progress, I believe you have worked hard during the winter vacation!" ”

As before, he modestly said "It's okay"

Teacher Liu paused for a moment and said, "Your father called me this morning, asked about your grades, and also told me about his idea of arranging for you to study abroad, I want to know what you think."

Ruchu hesitated and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I will be under a lot of pressure to take the college entrance examination, I will study abroad alone, I have never left home alone since I was a child, I am also quite scared, Mr. Liu, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Teacher Liu looked at Ruchu's hesitant appearance and gave his thoughts. Teacher Liu means that although Ruchu's grades have made great progress this time, if you want to pass the college entrance examination to enter a good university, you have to continue to make more efforts, Ruchu himself knows that tens of millions of students across the country take the college entrance examination every year, but the number of university admissions is limited after all, and the number of students admitted to prestigious schools is even smaller. If there were better options now, he felt that he should think about it carefully.

Mr. Liu said that he didn't know if it was a better choice to go abroad, but from his point of view, going abroad was a more suitable choice. As for the problems that Ruchu was worried about going abroad, Mr. Liu told Ruchu that everyone has to learn to grow up and learn to be independent, and everyone will have the experience of having to challenge and face difficulties and fears alone in their lives.

Of course, Mr. Liu said that these are not necessarily to go abroad as before, he just hopes that Ruchu can choose bravely, and not be afraid of the problems that will bring her after the choice. And now it's not far from the college entrance examination, if she keeps hesitating, it will not only delay her application for foreign schools, but also make her calm down to study. All she needs to know is that no matter how she chooses, her teachers and her parents will support her. Mr. Liu hopes that his words can be as fat as ever, and he will be more relaxed when making choices

After listening to Mr. Liu's sincere advice, Ruchu was very moved and said, "Thank you, teacher, I know, I will decide as soon as possible"

When Ruchu returned to the classroom, Teacher Chen had already started her English class, and when Ruchu stood at the door and shouted a report, Teacher Chen let Ruchu in.

After the English class, before Teacher Chen walked out of the classroom, Lele rushed to Ruchu's side from her position, and asked with concern, "Teacher Liu told you to go to the office, are you okay, I see that your grades are very good this time, and you have improved a lot?" ”

Ruchu said, "It's okay, he also told me about the grades, you don't have to worry, just tell you, my grades have improved, he told me to let me continue to maintain" Lele listened to Ruchu's words, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, just saw that you were not in the right state when you entered the classroom, I thought he was looking for you something, it's okay, then I'll go to the toilet first, suffocate me" After speaking, Lele rushed to the toilet in a hurry.

Ruchu looked at Lele's departing back, and his heart was full of gratitude. I really want to be like this for the rest of my life, but I know that Mr. Liu is right, friends and family can only be by their side for a while, and the rest of the time has to go alone.

Although I went abroad and was far away from my family and friends, I can still come back when I am on vacation, and I can make some new friends abroad, and I always have to learn to grow up and be independent, so I might as well start now. Ruchu finally made a choice for this tangled problem, and Ruchu felt that the whole person was relaxed at this moment.

On the way home from school, Ruchu told the other three people about his decision, and the other three people all expressed their support for Ruchu's decision, and Wen Yuan also jokingly said, "When you come back from abroad, you will be a returnee student, and don't forget to take care of me when you become an executive of a large company."

As he said at the beginning, "The graduation requirements of foreign schools are very high, you should first wish me to get the graduation certificate smoothly."

Lin Xuan said with some concern, "Then you will be busy in the next period of time, not only to attend classes, but also to contact foreign schools."

Ruchu said: "Contact the school, my dad's friend came back to help, and my dad said that I just need to sort out my own information and take the IELTS test." Wait for the admission notice to come down and then apply for a visa, and you can go there to familiarize yourself with the environment in August at the earliest, and officially report in September."

Hearing Ruchu say this, Lin Xuan was relieved and said, "That's good, if someone helps you, you don't have to be so busy, if you need our help, just say" Ruchu is very grateful to Lin Xuan for offering help again and again.

After Ru's father came home in the evening, Ruchu solemnly told Ru's father about his decision.

For example, the father said, "Since you have decided, then I will tell your Uncle Liu and ask his son to help you contact the school." It just so happens that his son has not left when he goes home for the New Year, so let's invite someone to have a meal together this weekend, so I should thank them in advance, and when you study abroad in the future, you will inevitably have to trouble people to help you."

Ruchu obediently said, "Well, you decide, I'll go back to the room to sleep" Ruchu returned to the room, lay on the bed, and was a little irritable in his head.

On the weekend, in order to show their sincerity, Ruchu and his parents came to the hotel booked in advance by Ru Dad. After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Xiangdong, a friend of Rud's father, and his son, who was studying medicine in Cambridge, also arrived at the hotel. Liu Xiangdong is about 1.75 meters and weighs more than 140 pounds, although he has experienced the "difficulties" of the years and his body is a little blessed, but it is still not difficult to see that Uncle Liu must have been a very handsome man when he was young, which can also be seen from his son's appearance.

Liu Xiangdong's son is called Liu Yuyang, who is about the same height as Lin Xuan, about 1.85 meters, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge.

Unlike Lin Xiangdong, Liu Yuyang's body proportion is very good, it may be the natural temperament of studying medicine, so that Ruchu used an adjective to describe Liu Yuyang's words, Ruchu's first reaction was to be warm and jade.

Although he is only three years old at the beginning of his junior year, he feels like a primary school student compared to Liu Yuyang. Ru's father put his arm on Uncle Liu's shoulder to introduce Ruchu and Ruru's mother, and said, "This is my good friend I told you, Liu Xiangdong, and his son next to him, Liu Yuyang, Yuyang, but excellent, studying medicine in Cambridge, you will be an excellent doctor in the future, you can learn more from others" Ruchu greeted Liu Xiangdong and Liu Yuyang respectively.

Liu Xiangdong and Ru's father and mother have been chatting, Ruchu and Liu Yuyang sat next to each other, Ruchu originally wanted to eat his own, and he didn't care about anything else, but he felt that this was not very polite, after all, he was asking for others now, and if the two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere would be a little embarrassing, just when Ruchu racked his brains to say something, Liu Yuyang took the initiative to find out the topic and chatted with Ruchu, and the embarrassing atmosphere that Ruchu was worried about was naturally gone.

When he wanted to say goodbye after dinner, Liu Yuyang also took the initiative to ask Ruchu for contact information, saying that it was convenient to leave a contact information for matters related to studying abroad and contact Ruchu directly. Liu Yuyang, who was also very generous at the beginning, exchanged contact information with each other.

For the next month or so, I was busy submitting application materials to schools in the UK, and at the same time, I was preparing for the college entrance examination every day like other students.

Lele asked Ruchu: "Aren't you ready to go abroad?" Since you don't have to take the college entrance examination, why do you work so hard and so hard to do these questions? ”

The original answer was, "Before going abroad, everything has not really been decided, what if there are any variables?" Besides, although I have decided to study abroad, I still want to take the college entrance examination, after all, I have been studying for so many years just to get a good score in the college entrance examination, and suddenly let me put down the college entrance examination, I don't fit in. Isn't it said that youth who has not experienced the college entrance examination cannot be called a complete youth, and I also want to see what kind of results can be achieved through my efforts."

More than a month has passed, and although the mock test results have improved very little, it is very gratifying that with the help of Liu Yuyang, all the materials have been submitted to the admissions offices of several schools in the UK.

At the beginning of April, Ruchu finally received an admission letter that could make her feel at ease, an admission letter from xxx university in the United Kingdom.

The moment she got the notice, she jumped up happily and told her parents, her best friends and teachers about the good news as soon as possible.

Since the last time they had dinner at Ruchu's house, Ruchu and Hu Zheng hadn't eaten together for a month. For the final sprint, several people invariably saved the time to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Except for a few minutes of companionship back home from school.

There are only two months left before the college entrance examination, and everyone is racing against time, always reminding and demanding themselves with the slogan of improving one point and killing a thousand people. Although Ruchu no longer has to worry about the results of the college entrance examination, the depression and tense atmosphere of the entire third year of high school have also brought a lot of pressure to Ruchu.

Ruchu has been sleeping for several nights in a row, dreaming that he is late for the college entrance examination, there are problems with the test papers, and a series of questions related to the college entrance examination. In the past two days, I finally stopped dreaming about the college entrance examination, but I began to have some strange dreams about my life abroad, such as my wallet was stolen while taking the bus, I called the police when I was in danger, but the phone couldn't get out, and I finally got to the police station, but the police are also with the bad guys, and it's completely a spy movie.

These nightmares have been lingering in the back of his mind. Ru's father and Ru's mother noticed that Ruchu's recent state was not right, and asked Ruchu what was wrong, Ruchu told Ruchu's dream to Ru's father, Ru's father said, "You, it's just too much pressure, I've watched too many police movies, don't put too much pressure on yourself, otherwise I won't take the college entrance examination, anyway, you're going to study in the UK"

"Well, I see" Although he said that he knew, the faint uneasiness in his heart still lingered.

At night, Ruchu was still preparing to write homework for a while, such as the mother walked into Ruchu's room with a glass of milk, such as the mother said, "Don't write, go to bed early tonight, see that you are not in a good state these days, drink this glass of milk and go to sleep, milk to help you sleep" Ruchu drank the milk and prepared to sleep, and the dream came again.

This time, as before, I dreamed that I had returned from studying in England. I went to Lin Xuan's house to visit Grandma Lin with a gift, and no one paid attention to the door after knocking on the door for a long time, and an aunt passing by said that they had moved away, and stood at the door for a long time, and understood why I couldn't get through after calling Lin Xuan for a long time.

In the evening, Ruchu accompanied Ru Dad and Ru Mom to the supermarket to buy things, and just met Wen Yuan, Ru Chu was about to come forward to say hello, when he saw a girl take some snacks from another shelf and put them into Wen Yuan's shopping cart, and then held Wen Yuan's arm very affectionately. Ruchu was stunned when he looked at this scene in front of him.

At this time, Wen Yuan also happened to look at Ruchu's side, and Ruchu stepped forward to say hello. When Wen Yuan introduced Ruchu to the girl next to him, he said, "This is my classmate, Ruchu", and Wen Yuan's simple introduction shocked Ruchu even more. In Ruchuxin, Wen Yuan is not only one of his best friends, but also the person he has spent his entire youth to like, but he didn't expect that in Wen Yuan's heart, he is just a classmate. Ruchu didn't understand what had happened in the past few years since he left, so he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Hu Zheng to ask him, but Hu Zheng's mobile phone couldn't get through. As before, I called Lele again, and finally got through.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line. Lele told Ruchu everything that happened when he went abroad, Lin Xuan and his family emigrated, Hu Zheng made a foreign boyfriend and went abroad, Wen Yuan was rejected by Hu Zheng and then went on a blind date under the pressure of his family, and now he is engaged to the girl.

Listening to this, I was stunned. I used to think that several people would stay together forever and never be separated, but since I went abroad, everything has changed. As I was sad at the beginning, the alarm clock went off. Ruchu woke up from a nightmare, and after waking up, Ruchu was sad about the scene in the dream, and at the same time rejoiced in reality. Because several people in reality have not yet separated.
