Ma Dali carefully put the sweet potatoes into the corner of the cloth bag, and replied with a smile: "I have no choice, I can only take the Chongqing University." ”

"Yikes!" Jia Shuanghua laughed excitedly and asked in surprise: "You also want to be a big girl?!" ”

Ma Dali raised his eyebrows, his honest face was full of surprise.

"What? Do you want to take the test too? ”

Jia Shuanghua's face was slightly red, and she whispered, "I-I don't have a choice." My parents said that they could only strive for the entrance examination of Chongqing University, and they could not go too far. Universities that go out of the city are not considered, and those who go out of the province are even less likely to agree. ”

Not only did her parents not support her, but neither did her aunt and cousin, so she had no other choice.

Ma Dali smiled bitterly: "I...... I can't help it. My younger brother has not come back from the countryside, and both younger sisters are still studying. If I go away, I won't be able to take care of them. ”

His parents are gone, he is the eldest in the family, and it is his responsibility to take care of his younger siblings, and he cannot shirk or escape.

If he goes to study in another university, he will not be able to take care of his family and two younger sisters.

Jia Shuanghua sighed lowly: "My grades are not very good, and the entrance examination is really too hanging." My parents also said that if they didn't study at Chongqing, they would go back to the food store and continue to work. ”

"I'm not sure." Ma Dali smiled bitterly: "We only have Yucheng University in our city, and there are no other schools." I can't leave home, so I can't leave Chongqing. If I can't pass the test, I'll ...... Most of the time I would choose to repeat it. ”

Jia Shuanghua pouted aggrievedly: "I told my cousin, if it doesn't work this time, let me repeat my studies for a year." This time it's only been half a year, and I haven't learned enough. In fact, if Ling Ling hadn't helped me lecture every day, my grades would have been even worse. If you can have more time, there may be hope. ”

In the past six months, she has made rapid progress, and her grades have also risen rapidly, and most of the credit here belongs to her good tablemates.

"I'm afraid it's only going to be more difficult next year." Ma Dali said honestly: "When the college entrance examination was resumed last year, it was in the winter, and many people didn't know the news at that time. This is the national college entrance examination, and we not only have to compete with the classmates in the class, but also compete with so many students. The questions in the first year should not be too difficult, after all, we are uneven students. But next year will be different, and the questions will definitely be more difficult than this year. ”

"So what should I do?" Jia Shuanghua's eyes were full of tears: "I...... I don't want to waste this opportunity. You all go to college, and I'll go to work and get married...... I want to read it too. ”

"Study hard." Chen Xingling covered the lunch box and said, "Relax your mind, relax your mind, and do whatever you do in the exam." ”

"yes!" Ma Dali echoed: "If you come, you will be safe." Anyway, we must go all out, and as for the final result, we have to be more bearish. ”

Jia Shuanghua sniffled and quickly recovered her mood.

"That's that! Anyway, no matter how well we do in the exam, we can be regarded as having fought hard for our college entrance examination. I've lost more than five pounds in the past few years, and my parents are distressed. Hee-hee! They said they had never seen me work so hard. ”

Ma Dali smiled honestly and asked, "Classmate Chen, what about you?" Which university are you going to go to? ”

"Just like you." Chen Xingling replied with a smile: "I don't have a choice, I can only take the test desperately." If you are admitted to school, you will repeat if you can't pass the exam. ”

Her husband and son are both in Yucheng, and she is reluctant to leave them, so she can only study at Yucheng.

I have to say that it is really not easy to get into a good university not far from your doorstep - the competition is huge!

Of the more than 30 students in the class, almost half of the students chose to be admitted to Chongqing University, because she is a key university in the south and is famous all over the world, and because she is close at hand!

Jia Shuanghua glanced at her with disgust, and scolded with a smile: "You still repeat!" If you need to repeat, a few of us in the class will pass the test! ”

"yes!" Ma Dali, whose grades have been hovering in the middle level, said enviously: "Chen's grades in all subjects are very good, and there is no deviation from the subject. As long as you play normally, you will definitely be able to get the best major in Chongqing University. ”

Chen Xingling didn't dare to be careless: "In order to be able to go to Chongqing University, in order to have the priority to choose a major, you must get good results." Let's do it together! ”

"Come on!"

"Let's do it together!"

Jia Shuanghua suddenly remembered something, took out a large piece of white paper from her schoolbag and handed it to Chen Xingling.

"Uncle Mo said that it was changed, let me show it to you."

Chen Xingling hurriedly thanked and took it.

The place sent by the fourth brother is good and convenient, and she plans to take advantage of the money in hand, Ma Li will build half of it, and make the door and the remaining space into a small garden or small vegetable garden.

Originally, I wanted to find a construction worker to build two floors according to the traditional model, but Jia Shuanghua unintentionally talked about her neighbor being a master of construction, which made her change her mind for a while.

The neighbor's surname is "Mo", who used to be a master who repaired Suzhou gardens, but he had to be transferred back to work here in the past two years because of his household registration. Master Mo's usual work is very easy, and he will take on some private work from time to time.

Chen Xingling likes garden-style buildings very much, but the place is too small, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she doesn't even dare to think about it.

After listening to her, Jia Shuanghua was reluctant to disappoint her best friend, and immediately went to the opposite door to find Master Mo when she came home from school.

When Master Mo heard that the place was one acre wide and six or seven meters wide enough to be used as a yard, he immediately said that he could design it, and simply sketched the design with a pencil.

The two-storey small pavilion, the kitchen and toilet are juxtaposed with one left and one right in the way of the ear room, the rockery pavilion is greened with flowers and plants, the snow-white low wall is added with a circular arch, a mini Suzhou small garden has appeared, and it also takes into account a number of facilities that are convenient for life - Chen Xingling was overjoyed, and asked Jia Shuanghua to bring herself to the door to ask Master Mo for help the next day.

Seeing her sincerity, Master Mo quickly agreed to help her improve the design drawings, and took the initiative to say that if she wanted to start construction quickly, he could also help her find an architect in this line to help.

Chen Xingling naturally replied happily.

After listening to her careful explanation, Master Mo quickly made the first complete drawing.

After Chen Xingling went back, he studied carefully with Gu Qizai for half the night, and finally put forward his opinion, hoping that Master Mo would make some modifications.

For example, the second floor needs more space, arranging two separate rooms and a bathroom, and the windows are all made of rows of traditional antique hollow windows to ensure sufficient lighting.

In addition, the rockery is shrunk and shortened to adjust the direction, and the old trees planted by the original owner on the ground are left, and try not to dig them up and eradicate them.

After listening to this, Master Mo deliberately went to Shuiyue Road to inspect the spot a few times, readjusted the drawings, and then asked Jia Shuanghua to send it over.

Chen Xingling looked at it carefully, and then smiled in surprise.

"Okay, that's it. Huahua, when you go back, tell Master Mo to arrange for the workers to start construction as soon as possible. ”

"Uh-oh." Jia Shuanghua looked at the drawing in a daze and shook her head: "I look so similar to geometric figures......

Chen Xingling laughed and said, "It was originally a combination of geometric figures!" ”

"Shh~~" Jia Shuanghua made a booing motion, and instead pointed to Ma Dali, who was leaning against the banyan tree and reading a book.

Chen Xingling took a look and found that Ma Dali didn't know when he fell asleep.

Jia Shuanghua frowned and sighed: "He, he will go to the dock to carry the goods after school, and he has to go at night...... Go pick up the big dung. These days, several girls dislike the smell on him, and he may have noticed it himself, and recently they have taken the initiative to sit at the back table. ”

Chen Xingling whispered: "Hard work with your own hands is the most respectable." Labor is the most glorious, regardless of the type of work. ”

"Uh-huh." Jia Shuanghua pursed her lips and whispered: "He said that he must earn his tuition." There are only two months left, and he said that after the college entrance examination, he will go to the lime factory to knock lime, saying that the salary is relatively high. ”

When Chen Xingling heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad secretly.
