Ding Xiaocong finally didn't find this mysterious Jiang Bai, but it doesn't matter, they will meet again in the future.

After returning home, the matter passed quickly, Ding Xiaocong didn't dwell on the matter, and he couldn't explain it clearly, or his parents didn't believe it when he explained it clearly, so he had to acquiesce, but fortunately he didn't pursue it at home, which was a bit unexpected for him.

Next, Ding Xiaocong threw himself into a crazy review, and his efforts were outrageous! For five days, he ate, went to the toilet and slept for less than six hours a day, and all the rest of the time was spent reading books and doing exercises. Let's put it this way, he falls asleep with a book in his hand every day, and the first thing he does when he wakes up is to continue holding the book, and when he eats, he is chattering about various formulas, like a ghost.

Ding Jiazhu and his wife had never seen their son work so hard, and they thought that something was wrong with him, so they simply changed shifts to accompany him and never left.

In this way, the last five days passed, and the fateful moment arrived.

The examination room of the No. 23 Middle School where Ding Xiaocong studied is arranged in the city's No. 1 Middle School, which is also the best high school, the dream of all fresh candidates. Of course, for Ding Xiaocong, this is really just a dream, it is almost impossible to achieve, it is impossible to produce qualitative changes in a few days, his goal is to be in the second echelon of those schools, and it would be good to be admitted......

On this day, the couple sent Ding Xiaocong to the gate of No. 1 Middle School early, and the school had not yet opened at this time, so the family of three had to wait by the door.

This was Ding Xiaocong's idea, he insisted on this, and his parents couldn't resist him.

Ding Jiazhu was holding the electric car, and Ding Xiaocong was sitting in the seat, his eyes kept looking back and forth, looking anxious. Gao Qun was holding a disposable lunch box in her left hand, which contained xiaolong soup dumplings, she picked one up, blew it cold, and then sent it to Ding Xiaocong's mouth.

To be honest, Ding Xiaocong was not a habitual baby before, but today the situation is special, he has become the little emperor of the family, but he can't be uneasy. The reason is because of Luo Dahai, since the incident that day, Ding Xiaocong has never seen him again.

Luo Dahai didn't go to school anymore, and he didn't come to play with Ding Xiaocong, as if the world had evaporated, and there was no news anymore, and no one knew his whereabouts when he asked his classmates who were close to him.

Today is the day of the high school entrance examination, Ding Xiaocong hopes to see him no matter what, it doesn't matter if he can pass the exam or not.

Time passed little by little, there were more and more people at the door of No. 1 Middle School, all of them were parents accompanying the fresh candidates who came to the exam, Ding Xiaocong became more and more anxious, and the delicious buns were delivered to his mouth, he turned his head and continued to look in the crowd.

Finally at eight o'clock, the school gate opened, and began to enter the venue with the admission ticket, Ding Xiaocong, who was eager to wear it, insisted on waiting until a quarter past eight, no one came, and he still didn't see Luo Dahai. He knew that Luo Dahai would not come, he was only 16 years old, and it seemed that he had completely cut off his way to study.

With a heart full of loss and the entrustment of his parents, Ding Xiaocong walked into the examination room with heavy steps and accepted the first test of fate, this day, he will never forget.

The process of the exam will not be repeated, and in the end, Ding Xiaocong played well and was admitted to Meishan Middle School, the vanguard of the second echelon of the city's high school.

Although it is not as good as the best schools in the city, Meishan Middle School is not bad, and this result is not only Ding Xiaocong, but even Ding Jiazhu and his wife are very satisfied. Another point is that Meishan Middle School is very large and has the largest total number of students, and if you set up a food stall outside the school gate, business should not be bad.

finally finished worrying about Ding Xiaocong's affairs, and the couple immediately devoted themselves to supporting their family.

Setting up a food stall may seem simple, but it's actually quite complicated, especially in the special environment of the school gate. Since the consumer object is mainly students, the approval of various procedures is extremely strict, and even if it is smooth, it will not be completed in a month.

In addition, there are also various utensils and ingredients to prepare, which can be described as hard work and labor, Gao Qun can no longer take care of his children at this time, and he runs around with his husband all day long, and he looks like he has lost weight. Fortunately, Ding Xiaocong is not young, and he has no summer homework, so he can take care of himself.

From then until the end of the summer vacation, Ding Xiaocong basically couldn't see his parents during the day, and the task of taking care of his sister fell on his shoulders. Fortunately, the snake eats very little, and a meal can last for a week, which is not troublesome, but his sister often helps him.

After a few days, another serious problem arose, the family ran out of money.

Since it didn't take long to buy the house, and the mortgage had to be repaid every month, the family had no savings, and the couple was running, and the surplus money was quickly spent. Ding Xiaocong doesn't care if he has pocket money, what he is really worried about is tuition, the food stall has to wait until the start of school to operate, and before that, he can only get in and out, and even the tuition fee has become a problem.

He knew his parents very well, and it was more uncomfortable for them to ask them to borrow money than to cut meat with a knife. Ding Xiaocong is not young, and after analyzing the current situation of his family, he decided to take advantage of this summer vacation to earn his own tuition.

This idea was supported by her sister Xiaolan, of course, outsiders who supported it couldn't know.

After deciding on the plan, he was ready to implement it secretly and not let his family know, otherwise his parents would never agree.

On this day, to be specific, in the middle of July, after his parents went out, Ding Xiaocong got up from the bed and left home with his sister, leaving her alone at home Ding Xiaocong was not at ease.

Although he is not yet an adult, he still has some jobs to do, such as handing out flyers, pasting small notes, scanning QR codes, etc. Since he was already a high school student, his father gave him an old mobile phone, which came in handy at this time.

After leaving the house, Ding Xiaocong got on his bicycle and went straight to the pedestrian street first, where there are more job opportunities.

There is no need to deliberately look for it, there are many shops on the pedestrian street that have posted notices for summer workers, and everyone asks. One of the big advantages of using a summer job is that you don't have to worry about benefits, which can save a lot of money.

When Ding Xiaocong arrived at the pedestrian street, he began to muster up the courage to ask from house to house, he had never worked before, and he had not dealt with adults much, which was also a test for him.

After asking one by one, Ding Xiaocong gradually stopped being nervous, but he was also disappointed, the shops that employed people mainly recruited girls, saying that it was easier to communicate with customers, and he walked down the whole street, but he didn't find a one willing to use him.

This caught Ding Xiaocong off guard, and for the first time he felt what sexism in the workplace was, but what could he do? Not only him, but even his sister Xiaolan who was in the bag was listless, in order to facilitate taking his sister, he tied a small cloth bag around his waist, and Xiaolan stayed inside.

Ding Xiaocong got nothing, his stomach was hungry, and the things on the pedestrian street were too expensive, so he had to leave, and casually found an alley to get into, preparing to find a fly shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and change places in the afternoon to continue.

Walking in the alley, Ding Xiaocong was puzzled, this place looked a little familiar, as if he had been here before. After thinking about it, he realized that this was the place where Liu Blind told fortunes, and he spent a catastrophe here when he was ten years old.
