Chapter 20: Fulfilling a Long-Cherished Wish (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
The weekend was a happy but short one.
It's another week and a new beginning.
When he arrived at school on Monday, during the lunch break, Li Ling asked the head teacher for several days off.
When I came home from school in the evening, Zhuang's mother took a military green backpack for Li Ling to pack up the things for the capital.
Tomorrow, Li Ling will go to the capital to take the professional examination of the Drama Academy.
Father Zhuang sat on a chair in the living room, holding a teacup in his hand, closed his eyes and his right foot gently hummed the military song he learned in the army little by little.
Li Ling greeted Zhuang's father, returned to his room and put down his schoolbag, walked to Zhuang's mother, who was still busy packing up her things, and said, "Mom, I'll go to the capital for two or three days, Handan is not far from the capital, so you don't need to bring many things." ”
Zhuang's mother said unhappily: "That's not possible, it's your first time going out, and my mother will bring you two more clothes."
I brought you a few baked cakes and a few apples, and if you are not familiar with the place in the capital, you can't find a restaurant and don't be hungry. ”
When the child goes out, no matter how far away it is, parents always want to bring all the good things in the house to the child to ensure that he will not be cold or hungry outside.
The action of folding clothes in his hands did not stop, and Zhuang's mother said again: "By the way, I will put the money I brought you in the pocket of this dress, and you have to take care of good things when you take the car and do things, don't let the thief steal it." ”
As she spoke, Zhuang's mother pointed to the folded clothes in her hand, and the money was placed in the inner pocket of the clothes.
After folding the clothes, Zhuang's mother put the clothes at the bottom of the backpack she packed, and then a few other changes of clothes.
Among them, there is a new set of clothes, which Li Ling wears when he takes the exam, after all, he wants to leave a good impression on the teachers.
After putting away the clothes, Zhuang's mother put the small bag containing pancakes and apples on top of the clothes, as well as toothbrushes, towels and the like, all of which were loaded and zipped up on the army green backpack.
Mother Zhuang clapped her hands and handed the backpack to Li Ling, saying, "Put the bag on your bedside table and bring it tomorrow."
If you want me to say that you should let your dad go with you and take care of you, you have to be unwilling. ”
Li Ling hugged Zhuang's mother's arm and said with a smile: "I'm seventeen, I'm an adult, let my dad take me what I want." ”
Zhuang's mother snorted: "Stinky boy, no matter how old you are, you are a little kid in your mother's eyes." ”
Li Ling smiled and said obediently: "Yes, yes, no matter how old I grow, I am a little kid in front of you." ”
At this time, Zhuang's father also said: "My son is so old, he will be admitted to college soon, and it is time for him to exercise alone, if I don't follow, my son will still be lost." ”
Hearing this, Zhuang's mother glared at her man and snorted: "I feel sorry for my son, you don't care about your son as a father." ”
Zhuang's father was glared at by his wife, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped talking.
Zhuang's father is also a strict wife.
Li Ling hurriedly interjected: "Okay, you two don't tease, I'm hungry, what kind of meal did my mother cook today." ”
With Li Ling's interruption, Zhuang's mother was no longer angry with Zhuang's father, and smiled at Li Ling: "Today, my mother made you your favorite oily and spicy strips, as well as sour and hot shredded potatoes."
If you go to the capital, you won't be able to eat at home for many days, so eat more today. ”
Li Ling also smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have a full meal for this meal." ”
The family of three had dinner with Hemeimei, and they had a happy meal.
What is happiness?
Happiness is not about experiencing strong winds and waves, but more often than not, it is an ordinary homely life.
……
The next day, Li Ling was going to take the train to the capital.
Zhuang's father rode a bicycle to take Li Ling to the train station.
There are a lot of people at the train station, and it is very crowded with people coming and going, and Li Ling's ticket starts at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Father Zhuang and Li Ling came to the platform together, Li Ling took his good things and squeezed onto the train, and waved goodbye to Father Zhuang at the door.
Take out your train ticket and look at your seat, squeeze towards your seat, and sit in a hard seat.
Li Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, just like a war, it was not easy to squeeze through.
Looking at his father's figure from the window, Li Ling waved him back.
Looking at his father's back, for some reason, Li Ling remembered Zhu Ziqing's "Back" in the textbook.
- "I saw him wearing a black cloth hat, a black cloth coat, and a dark blue cotton robe, staggering to the side of the railway, and slowly leaning down, it was not too difficult.
But it was not easy for him to cross the railroad and climb up to the platform over there.
He climbed on it with his hands and retracted his feet again;
His fat body leaned slightly to the left, showing the appearance of hard work.
Then I saw his back, and my tears quickly flowed. ”
It was all the situation of the father sending his son away from home, and Li Ling felt his father's deep love.
……
At this time, there were far from high-speed trains and bullet trains, and the speed of trains was as slow as possible.
The train started, and with a clattering sound, it galloped into the distance, and Li Ling looked at the green mountains and white clouds in the distance through the glass.
I don't know how long, Li Ling was a little sleepy, holding the army green schoolbag in his arms and squinting to scream.
At this time, the train is very chaotic, and there are often pickpockets and robbers, so you have to bring your own things.
The train for most of the day finally arrived in the capital at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Out of the station, Li Ling stretched his stiff body, and the bones of the people who had done it for half a day were numb.
Traveling in the 90s was really painful! Li Ling sighed in his heart.
I took the bus to the vicinity of the Drama Academy, found a good hotel to live in, found a restaurant to eat noodles, and returned to the hotel Li Ling fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.
The professional exam will start tomorrow Wednesday, for a total of three days.
On Wednesday, the preliminary examination will test sketch performance and recitation, and on Thursday, the re-examination will test literary and artistic knowledge, film criticism, and argumentative essay writing.
Wait until the last interview on Friday, where the candidates will have a talent show and answer questions from the teacher.
The basic questions include what performances the candidate has seen, what qualities do you think you need to have to apply for the directing department, and what advantages you have.
Of course, there are also some teachers who will deliberately make things difficult for candidates and ask some strange questions for them to answer.
When you meet this kind of teacher, you should ask for more blessings at this time.
The results will be posted on Saturday, and then the candidates will know that they have not been admitted to the exam, which is just the same as the ancient imperial examination list.
Li Ling had read the books related to the directing department exam early, and with his inheritance of Xiaozhuang's super memory, he had memorized all the knowledge points in his mind early, otherwise he would not have gone to bed now without reviewing.
I slept soundly, and when I woke up, it was already the next day.
Due to the powerful biological clock, Li Ling found that it was six o'clock.
After getting up, washing and locking the door, Li Ling went out for his daily ten-kilometer running exercise.
To say that the power of habit is really strong, Li Ling is now exhausted if he doesn't run ten kilometers after getting up every day.
After running, the whole body is transparent.
I had breakfast at the stall, a set of pancakes and fruits and a bowl of tofu brain, and I ate it refreshingly.
When I returned to the dormitory at exactly seven o'clock, I washed off the sweat on my body, picked up the book and reviewed the knowledge points.
The exam started at nine o'clock, read the book until eight twenty Li Ling changed his clothes and went out, and the exam began.
……
Three days later, after the final interview, Li Ling walked out of the gate of the Drama Academy, and Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
The test is not bad, just wait for the test results to come out tomorrow, and you will know the result.
After the first two rounds of exams, there are very few people who have taken the third round of exams today.
Li Ling looked at the students who had also taken the exam just now, they were elated if they did well in the exam, and they were depressed if they failed in the exam.
In fact, after the exam, everyone basically has a number in their hearts, but until the final results are released, no one can guarantee that they will be admitted.
Li Ling is quite relaxed, he played very well, and he is not worried about being admitted to the directing department at all.
Of course, even if it happens, the worst result is not to join the army, anyway, you have to go through this experience.
As for applying for the Academy of Drama, it was only because this was Xiao Zhuang's dream since childhood, and Li Ling didn't want this dream to be unrealized.
On Saturday, the results were released, and the school board was crowded with students, and the students who had seen the results in front of them were some happy and some were disappointed.
Li Ling squeezed through the crowd to the front, and saw Zhuang Yan's name at first sight.
It's the number one!
The corners of Li Ling's mouth hooked slightly, Xiaozhuang, this dream has come true for you.
I called home at a roadside public phone booth, and the call was answered by Zhuang's mother.
Li Ling said happily: "Hey, Mom, I'm Zhuang'er, yes, the results are out, and I took the first place in the country...... Haha, that's it, who is your son, can he be amazing? ”
"Hmm...... Okay, I'll go back tomorrow, well, you don't have to worry, it's just hanging up. ”
called Xiaoying again to report the good news, Xiaoying was also very happy, I couldn't see each other when I went back this week, I made an appointment to meet at the old place next week, and said some whispers, and the two hung up the phone.
Clap your hands, and then you don't have to worry about it.
passed the professional examination of the directing department of the Academy of Drama, as long as Li Ling did not score zero in each subject during the college entrance examination, it was a certainty to be admitted to the Academy of Drama.
Oh yes!
Li Ling jumped up and shouted.
This can be regarded as making up for the regret of being a scumbag in the real world.
