Chapter Seventy-Eight: Different Lives Under the Same Sky
On the third day after the end of the college entrance examination, Lei Lei returned to the city.
The first thing she did when she got home was to invite Li Huizi and Xia to come out and have a good time in the city on QQ.
As a result, she sat on the computer and waited for a long time, but she didn't see Li Huizi respond. The QQ avatar has been showing that it is not online, and finally when she was impatient to wait, Xia replied to the message: "See you at the McDonald's restaurant on Hexi Road at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Lei Lei happily replied, "Roger, Lady Fairy." ”
The next day, Lei Lei happily cleaned herself up at home, and rushed to the meeting place she and Summer had made as soon as possible.
After not seeing her for more than a year, she is finally back.
When she walked to the McDonald's restaurant, Summer was already waiting for her inside, and she ordered a drink in advance.
"Hey, fairy." Lei Lei ran over excitedly, the person in front of her, she hadn't seen her for more than a year, and she hadn't changed at all, she muttered in her heart.
"Hi Leilei, long time no see." Summer replied politely. Looking at Lei Lei in front of her, she seemed to have gained a lot of weight, but she didn't say it.
"What's the matter with this Keiko? I've been asking her out for a long time, and I haven't reacted at all. As soon as Lei Lei sat down, she picked up the Coca-Cola that she had ordered in advance on the table and drank it.
"Tell you something, you have to be mentally prepared, I'm afraid that when you listen to it, you will be uncontrollable sad." The fairy said with something in her words.
"What's the matter? It's so scary. The college entrance examination is over, and there is nothing that can make me sad except for the college entrance examination this year, so you can say it generously. Lei Lei grinned.
"I'll tell you."
"Say it, say it."
"Something big happened in Keiko's family, her parents died. She disappeared without taking the college entrance examination this time, and we don't know where she has gone now? Summer said with a sad face.
"Fairy, what did you say? Huizi's parents are gone? She's gone again? When did this happen, and why didn't I even know? Lei Lei suddenly reflexively cried out from the stool.
In an instant, all the people around them turned their attention to their table.
"You sit down first." Summer said as she motioned for Lei Lei to sit down.
Lei Lei realized her gaffe, and immediately sat back on the stool, looked at Xia again, and asked, "When did this happen?" ”
"Just a day or two before the college entrance examination." Summer said again.
"How so? She said to me on QQ some time ago that she would get together with me as soon as the college entrance examination was over. Where will my poor Huizi go? After Lei Lei finished speaking, she couldn't help but wipe her tears.
"Well, who's to say it's not? In the future, as long as someone calls me a fairy, I can't help but think of her, I really miss her these days! I can't eat well or sleep well, so I'm afraid that she will have something long and short. Summer was worried again.
"Keiko, where the hell have you been?"
The two girls fell into deep contemplation again.

In the days of waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, Xiao Chen locked himself in his room every day depressed. Sometimes when eating, he will inexplicably fall into a daze mode while eating.
His parents still thought that he was not good in the college entrance examination this time, so he would be like this. They have been carefully comforting him and making him relax, "It's a big deal to repeat it for another year and start all over again." ”
He didn't say anything, just listened, in a daze.
In fact, these days, he has been thinking about one thing, his estimated score has come out, but he is just waiting for the final frame for him after the college entrance examination results are announced.
He found that he was a little overperforming, and the total score was actually above 700 points, if there was nothing abnormal, there must be no problem with the school in City B. However, he doesn't want to go to City B now, he wants to go to Jiangnan, as long as it's a university in any city in the south.
That way, he would have time to look for his girl everywhere at least on the weekend. However, he was not 100% sure that his girl was real and went to Gangnam. So these days, he's been deciding on this matter, making a last-ditch choice. Whether it was or not, he wanted to gamble.
Finally, more than 20 days after the end of the college entrance examination, the results of the college entrance examination were released.
Leng Leng exceeded the 50 points of the admission score of the Air Force Aviation University in City B as he wished, and was successfully admitted. Moreover, the conditions offered to him by the school are also quite attractive, and all the expenses of the four-year college are waived in full, and the school is also responsible for all living and study expenses during the university.
Summer and Chubby are very envious and say that Leng Leng is worthy of being a real winner in life, and winning is so beautiful.
And after Xiao Chen's results came out, they were basically the same as he expected, and he became the first in science in their city.
Before he filled in the volunteers, as he expected, the colleges and universities in City B had already thrown an olive branch to him.
Although Xia and Chubby passed the admission score line as they wished, they were still worried that there would be admission risks if they applied for a school in City B, and finally, after discussion between the two, they chose to apply for a different major in one of the best key undergraduate universities in their province.
Wang Yixiao was the second-best liberal arts student in their city, and she ended up choosing journalism at one of her favorite universities in City B.
Li Haoyu, I don't know what the reason is? He didn't even take a single score, and his score could only barely reach two books. In the end, he also chose to apply for the second university in the province, and he was in the same city as Chubby in the summer.
And the most unexpected thing is Li Zhen, she not only passed the admission score, but also exceeded the admission line by 20 points, and finally, she applied for the medical university in her mind as she wished.
Eventually, as his father had hoped, Lei Lei finally enrolled in a college in the city where her aunt lived.

Xiao Chen's invitation to City B is still pending a reply. However, since the results of the college entrance examination came out, his father boasted about Haikou in front of his father and fellow villagers, saying that his son would not go to school in City B, and he happily hosted a three-day wedding banquet in their village to celebrate his son's glory to his ancestors.
At the end of the dinner on the third day, Xiao Chen's father was very drunk, he held Xiao Chen's hand, snot and tears, and told Xiao Chen's mother how she was bleeding profusely when she gave birth to Xiao Chen. How did he pull Xiao Chen and his mother back from the line of life and death? He also said that he felt at that time that his son would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, and he would be so vigorous when he came.
Xiao Chen listened to his father's anticipation for him, and he finally cried, he knew that his father was angry that he had not agreed to his request to go to City B for a long time.
That night, he finally removed his last line of defense, and completely cried in his father's arms for a long, long time.
The next day, he replied to the invitation to go to the school in City B, and he finally chose to major in marketing, and he wanted to be a senior salesperson who could run around in the future. In this way, he will have more opportunities to find his Li Huizi, which he has planned in his heart.

Jiangnan at the beginning of September is the time when the autumn tiger is crazy. This kind of madness is not only hot and dry compared to September in the north, but also makes people feel tight.
At this time, next to the back door of a private supermarket in H City, a thin figure was struggling to unload boxes of goods from the car.
She was expressionless, letting her sweat slide down every corner of her body.
Recently, the boss saw that she was doing well, and not only agreed to her initial rude request to "eat and live", but also paid her a salary of 500 yuan every month.
The boss also said that as long as she behaves well in the future, he will give her another salary increase.
She keeps herself busy every day, and as long as there is work in the supermarket, she will rush to do it. She had to wait until the supermarket closed every day, and she dragged her tired body back to a dark, damp house on the first floor of less than fifteen square meters behind the supermarket with no sunlight.
In that house, there was only a bed, a table, and not even a fan.
Every day she was dead in this room. And the air conditioner outside the upstairs room of the boss's house, which is only a wall away from her, rumbles every night, which is in stark contrast to her.
Sometimes she was very sleepy, but she still couldn't sleep, and she would sit on the bed in a daze, and every time she sat it was an all-nighter. The next day, she woke up as usual, and she didn't feel sleepy or tired.
She still remembers that day, when she left the gate of No. 1 Middle School and cried and stepped on the southbound car, she was ready to endure all the hardships. She felt that there was no weight in suffering, and that it was comparable to the pain of losing her parents.
When she came to this strange city on the first day, when she looked at the cars coming and going and the people hurrying on the road, she was very confused, very hesitant, and a little panicked.
She's grown up and has traveled the furthest she's ever been, which is their city. She'd never been so far away, and she didn't even know where to go.
For the first few days, she stayed in the cheapest hostel. She eats a bun in the morning, a bag of instant noodles in the evening, and at noon in order to save money, she will choose to eat nothing. During the day, I also run around looking for work outside.
When people heard that she didn't even know how to use a computer, but was just a high school student who had just stepped out of school, no unit was willing to hire her.
After a month of wandering through the city, she found that she had very little money left.
That day, in the middle of July, it was raining sporadically in the hot south of the Yangtze River, and she felt that she was desperate, and she was ready to fend for herself, and when she walked aimlessly to the door of the private supermarket, she sat down in front of the supermarket and began to cry.
At that time, the proprietress of this private supermarket saw that she was very pitiful, so she invited her into the supermarket, made her a bucket of hot instant noodles, and gently comforted her for a long time.
When she cried and begged the proprietress to take her in, as long as she was given food and shelter, she didn't need money, she could work as a helper in the supermarket for a long time.
The proprietress thought to herself, what can she do? But out of kindness, they took her in for the time being, thinking that in a few days, she would leave them when she went out to find a good job.
Who would have thought that this child was stronger than she thought, and that he could work better than the men in her family.
In the end, it evolved into what it is now, she can work as a helper in this supermarket for a long time, not only to provide food and shelter, but also to give her money.
At least she's content now, and she's at least able to support herself now.
She always thinks that there is no endless road, and she will definitely get better and better in the future.
Since then, each of them has started their different lives and walked a path that is no longer the same.
