Sister Yingying didn't say anything, I thought about telling my mother everything I could understand. As for what the new mother was, I shook my head and said I didn't understand.

My mother sighed and said: "During the reform and opening up, they were all houses divided by state-owned enterprises, but the real estate industry has always existed. But how many people can afford to buy a house today? Fooling around is fooling around. ”

Especially the last sentence of nonsense, I still remember it vividly.

I didn't quite understand what my mother meant, but I understood the nonsense. Probably Mom thinks Dad will fail, so I think the same way about Daddy.

Because at that time, I thought that my father was a house builder, a good-looking and beautiful high-rise building, and my father had dozens of drawings and drawings. Dad can't do this kind of thing, and if he can't do it, it means that he is unreliable.

After that time, I graduated from junior high school and took the high school entrance examination.

Before the high school entrance examination, we needed to fill in the volunteers, and my mother didn't say a word and let us fill in the No. 1 middle school in her city.

The total score of that high school entrance examination was 100 points in Chinese, 120 points in mathematics, 120 points in English, 180 points in science, a total score of 520 points, 80 points in physical education and 30 points in various specialties, a total of 630 perfect scores.

Sister Yingying and I got 110 points in this physical education and various specialties, but in the exam, we were praying for a miracle because both of our major subjects.

Obviously, a miracle will not happen so simply, on the day the results of the high school entrance examination are announced.

I scored 93 points in Chinese, 55 points in mathematics, 110 points in English, 63 points in science, and a total score of 431 points in physical education and special skills.

Sister Yingying scored 40 points in Chinese, 103 points in mathematics, 20 points in English, 170 points in science, and a total score of 443 points in physical education and specialties.

In the case of a full score of 630 in the city where my mother is located, the lowest admission line is 525 points, and I heard from my classmates that if you want to be admitted to a good school, you have to make up the money for a bad score. Pay 20,000 yuan for one point, and you can pay it if you can afford it.

This is called an unspoken rule, and Sister Yingying and I casually calculated that there was a difference of seventy or eighty points.

This is 20,000 people, 3 or 4 million, and my mother can't afford it.

I was so scared that Sister Yingying and I were silent when we got home, and my mother kept asking how the exam went.

We could only keep our heads down and didn't dare to speak, but when we ate that day, the results were sent to my mother's mobile phone in the form of text messages.

At the meal, my mother held the mobile phone and said with a smile: "Your test scores are not bad." ”

I was so scared that I cried, and my mother looked at me holding chopsticks and asked me why I was crying.

I covered my mouth and endured it, and the next moment my mother said lightly: "Have a good winter vacation, and then it's up to you to go to college." Going to high school is a trivial matter, and I can't help you in college. ”

Later, we learned that my mother, as a teacher at City No. 1 Middle School, had the right to go behind.

City No. 1 Middle School is relatively lenient on the grades of teachers' children, and they can be admitted to City No. 1 Middle School with a score of more than 400. Of course, going to school like this is not glorious at all, and it will be marked by the school.

The school will observe your grades in the third year of high school, and if it is too poor, the promotion rate will be considered in the first middle school. Knowing that you may not be able to get into college, the school will ask you if you are willing to change your school to take the college entrance examination before the college entrance examination, and if you agree, it will give you an admission ticket for a subordinate secondary school to let you take the college entrance examination. This will not affect the admission rate of the city No. 1 middle school, and if you fail to pass the exam, you can still be guaranteed to be sent to the agricultural university in the north. The agricultural university also has a full grant for two semesters, so my mom wasn't worried about us going to school at all.

If you can't do it, you can study farming, which is what my mother said most often in the three years of high school.
