Chapter 1 Choices after the college entrance examination
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, today is already the day to get the college entrance examination transcript.
Today's sunshine is very good, but Zheng Tianling's expression is not very good.
You must know that his grades have always been in the middle of the grade, and the high school he attended was only an ordinary high school in a small county. So he was very worried.
Zheng Tianling looked at the classmates around him, some of them were so happy that they jumped to their feet, but some of them looked sad and even cried directly. But without exception, the students are accompanied by their parents.
Joy can be shared with parents, and sorrow can be comforted by parents.
Looking at himself again, Zheng Tianling could only sigh. His parents are both working in other places, and the only thing in the family is his elderly grandfather.
Zheng Tianling also asked his parents before the college entrance examination if they could accompany him through these short and important days, but the answer was disappointing to Zheng Tianling.
"Tianling, Mom and Dad are too busy to leave, and if you ask for leave, you will be deducted. I believe in your son, come on! ”
These were the last words that my mother said to Zheng Tianling on the phone.
Although his parents couldn't come back, Zheng Tianling also understood it very well.
After all, there is no day that does not cost money, just like Zheng Tianling spent more than 1,000 a month in high school.
This living expenses are neither high nor low among classmates, and Zheng Tianling can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing in this regard.
"I've done my best anyway, and hopefully I can do it this time! It can be regarded as an explanation to Mom and Dad! ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Tianling packed up his mood and walked towards the head teacher's dormitory.
Zheng Tianling's high school homeroom teacher is a male math teacher named Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang is a few years older than Zheng Tianling's father, and Cheng Guang often makes up lessons for Zheng Tianling one-on-one in the dormitory.
Zheng Tianling also wanted to give Teacher Cheng Guang a make-up fee, but Teacher Cheng Guang refused.
In Cheng Guang's eyes, Zheng Tianling is a very poor student. Parents travel all year round to make ends meet.
Although Zheng Tianling's grades are not very top, he is very competitive and willing to work hard. And Zheng Tianling also has the precious quality of honesty and kindness. So Cheng Guang really wants to help Zheng Tianling!
Zheng Tianling also sees Cheng Guang as a teacher and a father. He didn't want to disappoint his parents, and he didn't want to let Cheng Guang's expectations be disappointed.
"Teacher?" Zheng Tianling walked into the dormitory.
Cheng Guang frowned and looked at the transcript on the computer. Cheng Guang saw Zheng Tianling's frowning brows when he walked in, and finally eased a little.
"Tianling, you're here!"
"Well, how did I do on the exam, teacher? Can I go to Zhehai University? ”
Zhehai University is a university in the neighboring province of Zhehai City. Zheng Tianling's parents work in Zhehai City. Zheng Tianling's application for Zhehai University was also decided by Zheng Tianling's father.
"This!"
"Did I fail the test? Teacher? Zheng Tianling's grades were average, and the score line of Zhehai University was as high as 540 points.
Zheng Tianling's hanging heart became even more nervous, and his palms were sweating.
"Teacher, you say scores! No matter how many points I get, I can accept it. Because I did my best! ”
Cheng Guang patted Zheng Tianling and said, "Kid, you did really well in the exam this time. Out of 150 in math, you also got 125 out of 125. The teacher is proud, really proud to be your math teacher. See for yourself. ”
Zheng Tianling looked at the computer. Chinese 108, Mathematics 125, English 97, Physics 80, Chemistry 72, Biology 57. The overall score is 539.
The score of 539 is so dazzling, only one point away from the score line of Zhehai University. This point is like a world of difference, as if God played a joke on Zheng Tianling.
"Tianling! You've done well. If the teacher doesn't drag the relationship, the first-class university in this province only needs to score 520 points. Or shall we repeat it for another year? ”
Cheng Guang was afraid that Zheng Tianling would not be able to withstand this blow, and he knew that he didn't expect Zheng Tianling to be only one point short. This is even more uncomfortable than smashing the test.
"Thank you, teacher, I still have to ask my parents for their opinions on such a big decision."
Zheng Tianling sighed deeply, and everything relaxed after seeing the results. Zheng Tianling bowed to Cheng Guang. I would like to thank the teacher for his three-year teaching, the teacher's meticulousness, and the teacher's mentorship and friend.
I have been studying hard for decades, just for this paper score.
A difference of only one point doesn't seem to be the best result, but it seems to be better than failing the test.
Life is like a play, contentment and happiness. Thinking of this, Zheng Tianling smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What about your own thoughts? You put aside your parents' opinions, what do you want to do? Cheng Guang knows that Zheng Tianling has many advantages, but Zheng Tianling's shortcomings are also very obvious, introverted and cowardly, and he has no assertiveness and inferiority.
Zheng Tianling thought for a moment and replied, "Teacher, I want to work in the society. I don't want to burden my family! ”
"It's not an idea, but you have it and you can say it. The teacher was very pleased. Cheng Guang nodded to Zheng Tianling and continued: "I have a classmate who is the vice principal of a junior college in Zhehai City, where he can work and study. You can work part-time while completing your studies. You can talk to your family! ”
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Go ahead!"
Cheng Guang looked at Zheng Tianling's back, walking farther and farther under the sun.
Zheng Tianling didn't know how he returned to the village all the way, and he kept thinking about how to tell his parents about the score.
"Brother Tianling!"
Zheng Tianling came back to his senses when he heard someone shouting.
"Xiaoya, are you going to travel?"
Jiang Ya is Zheng Tianling's friend in the same village. Jiang Ya is more than two months younger than Zheng Tianling, so Jiang Ya has always called Zheng Tianling Brother Tianling.
I saw Jiang Ya's bags and bags, and Jiang Ya was so tired that she was out of breath. My face was a little red, and I didn't know if the sun was shining or tired. Although her expression is slightly tired, she still exudes a girlish atmosphere, and Jiang Ya looks like a small jasper, which is very good-looking.
"I didn't do well in the college entrance examination, and my mother asked me to go out and work with my father." Jiang Ya smiled.
Zheng Tianling looked at Jiang Ya's bitter smile, he knew that Jiang Ya would be more than enough even if she didn't get into a junior college.
The main reason why Jiang Ya's parents didn't let Jiang Ya go to school was that Jiang Ya also had a younger brother who was in his second year of high school.
There are always some old-fashioned people in the countryside who carry out the concept of preferring sons over women, and women are virtuous if they are not talented.
"That's it! I'll help you get to the entrance of the village! Zheng Tianling was also very helpless, and it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs. What's more, his own housework has not been sorted out yet.
Zheng Tianling helped Jiang Ya take her bags to the entrance of the village.
"Brother Tianling, thank you!"
"It's okay, it's a gesture! I don't know when I'll see you again when I'm leaving! Zheng Tianling was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Ya looked at the shy Zheng Tianling and covered her mouth and snickered.
Jiang Ya "raided" and kissed Zheng Tianling on the face.
Zheng Tianling also didn't expect Jiang Ya to "sneak attack". As soon as Zheng Tianling wanted to say something, Jiang Ya's mother's voice came from behind.
"Dead girl, the car is almost there. Don't get ready to get on the bus yet! Xiao Ling is also here, it just so happens that Xiaoya has a lot of luggage, you will help get it in the car later. ”
Jiang Ya's mother didn't see Jiang Ya kiss Zheng Tianling, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay Auntie!"
"Where's my brother? Didn't my brother come? Jiang Ya didn't know whether to be a thief or how to quickly change the topic.
"Your brother is watching TV at home!" Jiang Ya's mother said as she nibbled on an apple.
Jiang Ya replied, "Oh! ”。 She just changed the topic, and she was used to her brother's disregard for family affection.
As he spoke, the bus was slowly approaching.
Zheng Tianling helped Jiang Ya get her things into the car, and Jiang Ya's mother was just nibbling on apples on the side. It's like the parting person is just a stranger.
Jiang Ya found a place by the window and sat down and opened the window.
The bus was about to start, and Jiang Ya's mother instructed on the side: "When you arrive in Zhongnan City, you must listen to your father." Earn more money, your brother will have to spend a lot of money to go to school! ”
Jiang Ya replied, "Got it!" Then he looked at Zheng Tianling.
Jiang Ya's hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face was very clean, without any traces of makeup. Cherry's little mouth opened to say something, and finally closed again.
The bus drove away slowly, and Jiang Ya on the bus waved goodbye with tears in her eyes.
No one knows whether her relatives and friends waving goodbye are still youth, and no one knows whether her tears are parting with her hometown relatives or love!
Zheng Tianling wanted to say something at the end, but the bus had already left. I swallowed what I wanted to say
Before the seeds of love germinated, they drove away with this bus and drifted away with the wind.
"Xiaoya has already gone to work, and those who do well in the exam go on to college. Everyone has their own choice after the college entrance examination, what is my choice? Zheng Tianling stepped in the direction of home with confusion about the future.
