Tian Tian wanted to go to college, and after seeing Liang Rong and others on weekends, she became more determined.
Like Liang Rong, Zheng Mingyue, and Li Wenxiu, they have already started working, and each of them works in an office.
They had good family backgrounds, and as high school graduates, they could find a very good job with the help of their families’ connections. However, the moment the college entrance examination news came out, they all decided to take the college entrance examination.
Tian Tian was actually quite envious when she heard them speak so decisively, because she couldn't say with such certainty that she must go to college.
"What about you? Do you want to take the college entrance examination? Your grades are so good. You were the top student in our grade. You will definitely be admitted." Li Wenxiu asked.
"I don't know either. I have to go back and ask my grandma. I'll tell you the truth. My brother is actually in college. Although his university is free and he has scholarships, our family still has to give him travel expenses. Besides, my younger brother is also studying now. We are just an ordinary farmer. The money we earn in a year is limited. How can we have extra money for me to go to college?" Tian Tian expressed all her concerns.
"Your brother is also in college?" They have known Tian Tian for so many years, but this is the first time they heard this and they were all very surprised.
"Is your brother a worker-peasant-soldier college student?" This was the only way they knew of to go to college, so Tian Tian didn't find it strange to make this guess.
"My brother is not a worker-peasant-soldier college student. Didn't I tell you before that my brother was in the army? Their army also needed trained professionals, so they held a private selection within the army and picked several teachers who had taught college students to teach them. My brother passed the exam and became a college student." Tian Tian said.
Now Tian Yuan has been admitted to the university and is a legitimate college student. This is why Tian Tian told Li Wenxiu and others about the matter at this time.
"Okay! You're just telling me such a good thing now. Do you still consider us friends?" Liang Rong hit Tian Tian's shoulder hard.
Liang Rong hit Tian Tian a little too hard this time, and it hurt a little. "I must treat you as good friends! Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you at all. Anyway, my brother will graduate next year, and you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you."
"Okay! So what are you worried about? The college entrance examination will be held in December, and it's already October. If you don't study hard, it will be too late." Zheng Mingyue asked.
"You're stupid, what else could it be? It's just about money! But I don't think you need to worry too much. Besides, you can apply for subsidies to go to college. At most, you can live frugally. At least you can save enough for a year's round-trip tickets, right? And you said that your brother will graduate next year, and he will only have to hold on for half a year. It will be over if you can hold on. Besides, you don't want to do anything against the law. This is college, and your family will definitely be able to support you if they just save a little." Liang Rong said.
"Hearing what you said, I know you have never experienced hard times. Some of your relatives on your mother's side are from the countryside. Do you know that you can only earn more than ten yuan a year in the countryside? Even if you are very successful, how can you have so much money to go to college?" Li Wenxiu said.
Tian Tian nodded in agreement, "You don't know that my brother saved a lot of money during his two years in the army. In the past four years, almost all the money he needed for college was paid from his earnings. All the money our family earned throughout the year was used to pay for Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo's tuition. Even if my family sold everything they had, they probably couldn't afford to send me to college."
The main thing is that there is no way to work and study now, and doing private business is still a crime. If you really want to make money, you can only wait until you go to school to have a look.
Tian Tian sold all the food she had, and could only get a few dozen yuan. The money was enough to buy a train ticket, which was just a drop in the bucket.
Although she had sold a lot of things to Li Jiuniang over the years, together with the grain, the total amount was only less than a hundred yuan.
And Tian Tian has no other way to make money.
"Don't you technical schools pay us a salary? I think it's about twenty yuan a month!"
"I've only been in school for a few months. And I have to spend money on my own food. I don't even have a hundred dollars saved up yet!"
"Since you have a hundred yuan, then you should plan according to the hundred yuan first. You don't have to go too far. Isn't the farther the ticket, the more expensive it is? You can go to a school closer to us, so the ticket won't be too much. Then you can apply for a financial aid at school. If you study hard, you can also apply for a scholarship from the school. Saving a little is actually enough. See if there are any other ways to make money?" Zheng Mingyue said.
"Yes! One hundred yuan is a lot of money. I don't even spend one hundred yuan on food in a year!" said Li Wenxiu.
After listening to what everyone said, Tian Tian's anxiety immediately dissipated a lot, and she made up her mind that she must take the college entrance examination. However, Tian Tian has never had a sense of security since she was a child. No matter what she does, she has to prepare everything beforehand, especially about money.
Money now is not as easy to make as in the future. If you are out of money, you can earn some money no matter what method you use. There are also part-time jobs everywhere in the school. It is much harder to make money now than in the future, so Tian Tian feels that if she does not have enough money, she will feel very uneasy.
Xiang Liangrong and Zheng Mingyue have very different ideas. They don't have to worry about money and just do whatever they want. But it must be said that their way of doing things has also brought great inspiration to Tian Tian, making Tian Tian less hesitant.
"And it doesn't mean that you will definitely pass the college entrance examination just because you have signed up. You can still study in school for a few more months, and earn a few more months. When the exam comes, you can ask your teacher for a day off and go to the city to take the exam. It won't conflict with your attending this school."
"Okay! I'll talk to my grandma when I get home tonight. Regardless of whether she agrees or not, I will definitely take the college entrance examination. But luckily, I still have some money in my hand, so I can make some decisions on my own."
