Chapter Seventy-Three: Midterm Exams
Guixiang listened to her daughter's plan to invite someone, and said unhappily: "Why do you call Zichun to come?" Isn't Zixia good? β
Ling Mei said: "Brother Zixia is a worker in a state-owned porcelain factory. Are you planning to make him quit? β
Guixiang frowned: "The efficiency of the porcelain factory is not as good as a year, I think Zixia resigns as soon as possible and follows us is the right way to make a fortune." β
Ling Mei said coldly: "Zixia, although he has some ability, his heart is unstable, and he is a little ignorant. I'm afraid he'll spoil my business. β
"How so?" Guixiang fought for her eldest nephew, "You said that growing strawberries is a delicate and tedious matter. He has been in the porcelain factory for many years, and his temperament has been stabilized. It can definitely be done. β
Ling Mei thought for a while, and pretended to be unruly: "If you want him to come, come here." β
She knew in her heart that if Zixia was not allowed to come, it was estimated that her uncle's family would not let Zichun go.
Guixiang was happy that she had won a rare game against her daughter, and clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll go to your grandmother's house tomorrow." β
Ling Mei reminded her: "If Sister Zichun can't come, Brother Zixia won't be there." β
Guixiang glared at her daughter: "You have a lot of ghost eyes." β
But when her daughter wants to help her mother's family, she is always happy. The next day, I cleaned up a little and went out with my own dried five catties of rice and fish.
The mountain side is really busy.
After the establishment of the seed company, the villagers who bought the seeds were able to circle the village three times, and there were many customers from other towns. After all, Xiao's cuisine is famous, who doesn't want to make money?
Yueshan and Hongcun are combined, and they have to recruit people.
So they had a job fair.
20 breeders/staff are recruited. There is no age limit or gender limit.
The salary of the breeder is 30 yuan/month, and the salary of the breeder is 20 yuan/month.
If you do well, you will be able to get more year-end bonuses in the future.
As soon as the recruitment came out, the village was a sensation.
It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot easier. There is no need to be busy in the field from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood. Even many young men in the village are tempted to give it a try.
Hongcun brushed up on the spot a batch of guys who were lazy and had a bad reputation. A few small handbags of rapeseed were given to each of the people who entered the second round of interviews: "Go back and breed them yourself." You can't let someone else do it for you. Five days later, bring it to me for acceptance. I can remind you that after joining the seed company, the breeding work is based on the piecework system and the real-name system. If you don't do it well, you will have to deduct money for wasting seeds. If you cheat today, you will lose everything tomorrow! β
Everyone sneered, secretly thinking that Hongcun opened his mouth and set a set, who did he learn from?
Ling Mei, who was studying far away in the town, sneezed.
The midterm exams for the first semester have just been completed. There was a gloomy fog in the class. Even Xie Hang had a stiff face and was in a bad mood.
After the results were released, Xiaoqin choked in the dormitory.
Ling Mei glanced at the roll on her desk and understood.
The math is still good, barely passing. Language took 70. The worst thing is English, I didn't pass it.
Qingxue is comforting her: "I heard from my classmates that this time the exam was deliberately difficult to make it difficult for us." β
Xiaoqin snorted: "You are the third in the whole grade, and I am the third from the bottom!" β
Qingxue glanced at her 58-point English paper, and continued to comfort her: "The English paper is the most outrageous. The vocabulary on the paper is not at all at the level of our first year of high school. It's too much. It's called killing the stick. She called Ling Mei, "Ling Mei, how much English do you have?" β
Ling Mei did well in the exam. In English, she deliberately released water after taking the test, and she also scored 85 points.
Xiaoqin couldn't hold back anymore, and cried out loud: "I have 58 points, you have 85 points!" β
Xu Lingling was stunned when she heard Ling Mei's achievements. Such a difficult English paper, if she takes the test seriously, she will probably have this score. But I usually don't see Ling Meiduo working hard, how can he do so well in the exam?
Ling Mei helped her best friend mark the grammar points on the paper: "Crazy in the summer vacation, right?" If you listen to me, memorize ten high school words every day during the summer vacation, and you won't fail the exam today. β
Xiaoqin couldn't stop crying.
Ling Ling couldn't stand the mosquito's crying voice echoing in his ears, and said lukewarmly: "Have you finished crying?" Don't interfere with my homework, okay? β
Mingxia said angrily: "Xiaoqin is ashamed and brave. It's as if you haven't cried about your grades before. β
Ling Ling glared at her and explained: "I'm crying because of bad grades, not crying because I failed grades." The difference is huge. β
Xiaoqin's heart was even more congested when she heard it, and her cry became louder. Ling Mei couldn't persuade her.
Mingxia looked at Lingling: Look. It's all your fault.
Ling Ling rolled his eyes to the sky, looked around his bookshelves, and finally took out the book and put it on Xiaoqin's desk.
"The latest edition of the Chinese-English Dictionary." Ling Ling said impatiently, "Published by the Demon Capital Publishing House." Take it and use it. β
Light Snow exclaimed.
This English-Chinese dictionary is a good thing. You can't buy it locally, and you can only sell it in big bookstores in big cities. And the price is old.
Xiaoqin looked at the dictionary and looked at Ling Ling, and was stunned for a long time.
"Thisβ" she writhed her fingers in embarrassment, "Lingling, I didn't mean that. β
Ling Ling waved his hand: "It's not for you." Put it on the table and use it together. If you don't speak English well, you memorize more words, and when I cried, I memorized all ten words. β
Xiaoqin choked. Why is Xu Lingling's tone the same as her mother's?
Ling Mei looked at Ling Ling in surprise: it turns out that she is not as arrogant and unreasonable as she appears on the outside?
Afterwards, Xiaoqin sighed: "I failed English but promoted the harmony of the dormitory relationship, and it was worth it." β
Xiaoqin has this ability, no matter how bad things are, she can automatically adjust them into good things.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and everyone left school one after another to go home. The school suddenly became empty, and only a few students who were too far from home stayed at the school.
Yerba Cao went out at noon and dragged two bags back to school in the afternoon.
Pushing the door open, she was stunned.
"Lingling. Mingxia. Aren't you going home? β
The two people in the room were also stunned: "Why didn't you come home?" β
Fangcao dragged the sack and was red for a while.
Mingxia hurriedly helped her move the sack into the house, while explaining: "Our family is in Guangzhou. It's too time-consuming to go back and forth. We had stayed outside the hostel for the previous weekend. Now, in order to save money, I go back to the dormitory. What are you doing here? β
Fangcao rubbed the corners of her clothes and said, "I, I'm not going home." She looked at Ling Ling with a pair of watery eyes, "I, I'm going to do something in the dormitoryβ"
Ling Ling said directly: "You do your business." Just don't get in the way of us. β
Fangcao groaned, and immediately untied the sack, which was full of stacks of cardboard. There are also several large jars of pulp lake.
Mingxia watched curiously as she folded the pieces of paper into small boxes with her hands and feet, and suddenly realized.
Is this making money in origami boxes?
She couldn't help but look at Ling Ling.
Sure enough, there was a hint of vigilance and doubt in Ling Ling's eyes.
There are so many cardboard boxes that they take up most of the dormitory space in one afternoon. And the foul smell of the pulp lake always surrounds the house.
Lingling's complexion became more and more ugly. She got up and rushed to the balcony to get some fresh air.
