For lunch, Xu Ting made four dishes and one soup.

A braised large yellow croaker, a plate of fish dumplings, a plate of fried tofu with celery, and a plate of cold tomatoes.

The soup is nori, egg drop soup.

The couple didn't eat a bite of fish, the big yellow croaker all went into the mouths of the sisters and brothers, Ma Xu also knew that today was an important day for his sister, so he only ate the head and tail of the fish, and the body of the fish was all left to his sister.

Ma Lingling was not polite, she didn't write her essay well in the morning, so she turned her grief and anger into appetite, swept away the big yellow croaker, and even used the fish soup for bibimbap.

"Mom, Dad, I'm full."

Xu Ting poured her daughter a glass of warm water:

"Lingling, did your classmates eat the bread in the morning?"

"After eating, Jiang Jing really didn't eat breakfast, she ate such a large piece of bread in three or two bites." Ma Lingling sighed.

"You think everyone is like our family? Now everyone outside is hungry, Aunt Lu from our unit said you still remember, right? ”

"Of course I remember, what's wrong with Aunt Lu?"

"In order to save food, she didn't eat at noon, but because of low blood sugar, she fainted directly on the platform, which almost caused a safety accident."

"Ahh Isn't it their family? Ma Lingling wondered.

She also has a basic understanding of the situation at Aunt Lu's house.

Since Aunt Lu's husband died of illness, the mother and daughter have depended on each other, according to common sense, with Aunt Lu's salary, it must be no problem to support the two.

"Alas, it's also difficult for her, not only does she have to subsidize her mother's family every month, but she also spoils her children very much, and she can only suffer in the end."

Xu Ting is very happy at this moment, fortunately her younger brother has made a fortune, and their family has also been stained with a lot of light, otherwise at this time, they will definitely be still living a hard life in Luyang!

"Mom, it's still my uncle."

"Okay, let's go to a nap after eating, and I'll call you again at half past two."

The temperature was too high at noon, and the afternoon exam was postponed to half past three.

Ma Lingling nodded.

……

In the afternoon exam, Xu Ting had experience this time, not only brought a parasol and a small bench, but also brought a large kettle.

Although it was troublesome, it saved thirty dollars.

The weather in June is really hot, the maximum temperature can reach 45 or 6 degrees at noon, even under the umbrella, if you can't replenish water in time, there is a high probability of heat stroke.

Many parents simply went home and waited for the end of the exam to pick up people, and the number of parents who stayed behind was much smaller than in the morning, not even a third.

At half past five in the afternoon, the exam ended.

Xu Ting learned the lesson of the morning, and this time she didn't ask about the results again, but looking at the smile on her daughter's face, it looks like she should have done well.

A good night's sleep and the next day the exam resumed.

Ma Lingling brought a piece of bread to the same table again, Jiang Jing was not polite this time, and it was a wolf meal to take the bread.

"Jiang Jing, how long has it been since you eaten?"

"I had a quarrel with my family, and my mother said that she wouldn't care about me in the future, and even if I was admitted to university, she wouldn't give me tuition and living expenses."

"Huh? So what do you do next? Ma Lingling was taken aback when she heard this.

"After the exam, I want to find a summer job, at least save some living expenses, as for tuition, I can apply for student loans at that time, and I will pay it back when I graduate."

"What kind of summer job are you looking for?" Ma Lingling said curiously.

Jiang Jing waved his hand: "I'll talk about it when I find it, anyway, I'll do whatever I want to make money, as long as I don't break the law, even if I go to the construction site to move bricks, I'm willing." ”

"Moving bricks on the construction site? Don't be kidding, how can you survive now that it's so hot? ”

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on."

Ma Lingling's eyes rolled, and she immediately thought of a solution: "Jiang Jing, I also plan to do summer work in the summer, why don't we two go together?" ”

"You... Are you also short of money? ”

Jiang Jing was very surprised, in her impression, even if this tablemate was not a wealthy family, at least the family was not short of money.

"I want to earn more pocket money."

"Okay, but the job I'm looking for may not be for you." Jiang Jing said bitterly.

If there is a condition, who wants to be tanned into black charcoal!

"Don't look for a job, my relatives have opened a bread factory in Yanjing City, how about we go to the bread factory to work together?" Ma Lingling proposed.

"Bread factory?"

"Yes, the bread factory is better than the construction site, at least it can't be sunburned."

"How much is the salary? Wrap it up? Jiang Jing hurriedly asked.

Ma Lingling scratched her scalp: "I don't know the salary, but there must be three or four thousand yuan a month, no worse than you going to the construction site."

As for accommodation, I'm not sure now, but don't worry, we'll definitely find a place to live, and we can't just rent a small room. ”

"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"

"Don't bother, you should accompany me, it's too boring for me to go alone." Ma Lingling persuaded.

"When are you going?"

"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, what will it be like after the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"No problem, the day after tomorrow, I'll come to you then." Jiang Jing said excitedly.

"Well, then, don't let me go?"

"Why, I'm afraid you won't take me!"

……

At half past five in the afternoon, the English test ended, and the 2024 college entrance examination officially came to an end.

On the way home, Ma Lingling talked about her summer job.

"Mom, this summer, I want to go to work."

Xu Ting frowned and said, "It's so hot outside, what kind of summer job do you have, and Mom doesn't lack your pocket money?" ”

"Mom, it's not a matter of money, I want to exercise myself." Ma Lingling explained.

"Where are you going to work?"

"Let's go to Grandma's bread factory!"

"It's too hard to enter the factory, can't you go to your grandfather's?" Xu Ting didn't want her daughter to work too hard.

Ma Lingling defended: "Mom, didn't you tell me before that you wanted me to help my grandmother manage the factory after graduation, this opportunity is just right, you can go to the factory for an internship in advance, kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"Uh... Have you really thought about it? ”

"After thinking about it, I plan to take Jiang Jing with me, and the two of us can be companions together." Ma Lingling added.

"Okay, I'll call your grandfather in the evening and ask him to arrange it for you."

Xu Ting nodded, it's a good thing that her daughter wants to be motivated, and as a parent, she shouldn't pull her child back.

Ma Lingling hurriedly reminded: "Mom, I don't want to live at my grandmother's house, you ask my grandfather to arrange a dormitory for us." ”

"Got it, when are you going to go?"

"I made an appointment with Jiang Jing and set off after the Dragon Boat Festival. Mom, are we going to grandma's house for the Dragon Boat Festival? Ma Lingling asked.

"I won't go this year, your little aunt is busy enough, let's not go to make trouble, when your grandmother's leg is better, let's go over the National Day."

Ma Lingling nodded, and then asked:

"Mom, how much is the monthly salary of the bread factory?"

"I can get about six thousand yuan, but you are going to work for the summer vacation, and three or four thousand is good."

"Mom, I want to save more pocket money, can you help me talk to my grandfather so that we can get the same salary?"

Ma Lingling said pitifully.
