Summer vacation is here.
Fang Zhaozhao has finished her high school entrance exam and returned home.
Zhao Ting had high hopes for her daughter. When she saw her daughter coming home after the exam, she hurriedly asked, "How did you do? Do you have a chance of getting into high school?"
"Mom is telling you, don't be like them, short-sighted and only care about immediate benefits. Although you can be assigned a job after attending a technical secondary school, you can learn more and have a better future if you go to university."
In fact, if Zhao Tingnu had to choose, she would still choose technical secondary school. Future hopes are illusory. As an ordinary person, what else can she ask for? She can only grasp the real things in front of her.
You can be assigned a job after graduating from a technical secondary school. It may not be as good as the job you get after graduating from a university, but as long as it is a job that can support yourself, it is enough.
But she hopes her daughter can get into college to bring honor to her, and she is willing to spend three or four more years on tuition.
If I want to persuade my daughter to go to high school and college, there will naturally be a lot to talk about.
After all, everyone knows the truth, but reality does not always go according to reason, and life is always full of surprises.
Fang Zhaozhao nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I want to go to high school and take the college entrance examination!"
She wasn't lying.
In the past, Fang Zhaozhao thought it would be great if she could go to a technical secondary school and get a job.
But after reading, she saw a wider world. That wider world was in the future. It seemed that as long as she kept moving forward, it would be within reach, which made her fascinated.
She was not willing to just study in a technical secondary school and then live a life with a predictable end. She wanted to learn more knowledge and move towards more possibilities.
Even if her mother supported her to go to college, her family probably wouldn't be able to afford much money, but Fang Zhaozhao had already saved a lot, enough for her to go to college.
She could confidently say that many working-class families were not as well-off as she was.
Zhao Tingnu was satisfied. After all, Fang Guilong was also old enough to go to elementary school.
In the past two years, the age for enrollment in this area was seven years old, but later it was changed to six years old. Fang Guilong is already one year old.
The family can only afford to send one person to school, and Zhao Tingnu will definitely not sacrifice her daughter's opportunity to study for Fang Guilong.
So, she has decided to pay for her daughter's university education!
After the high school entrance examination, Fang Zhaozhao had some free time during the summer vacation, so she started thinking about what she could do to make money.
She was strolling in the village and happened to see the village library, and her steps suddenly stopped.
She had heard that there were nurseries, tutoring classes and libraries in the village, but she had been attending school in the county town and had no time to pay attention.
Now an idea suddenly occurred to her.
…
On July 1st, Wu Muxiang and He Shuiping set out on their journey as scheduled.
He Shuiping wanted to take her sister out to play, so naturally she couldn't tell the truth to her family.
Otherwise, her parents would definitely force her to take her brother with her.
So, she said, "Dad, Mom, Aunt Wu said she wants to take me to Yangcheng and find a little girl to try on clothes. She'll pay me one dollar a day. If there's such a good thing, I'll definitely think of my family. I plan to take Qingping with me."
He's parents were delighted when they heard this and quickly asked, "Does she still want a boy? Bring your brother with her, and she can earn some extra money!"
He Shuiping: "This time we went to Guangzhou mainly to buy clothes for girls. Besides, we are two girls, and we are worried that we won't be able to keep an eye on two children. You know, boys are the easiest to be kidnapped."
Hearing that her son was at risk of being abducted, He's mother quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, no! Just take your sister with you!"
He Shuiping smiled, looked at her younger sister, and said, "Qingping, why don't you pack your things? You're going to Guangzhou with your older sister in a couple of days. If you don't pack well by then, I won't be able to take you with me."
Of course, she couldn't ask Wu Muxiang to pay for it. Fortunately, she had saved a lot of money, and even if she went away for two months, it would only cost 60 yuan. She could afford it if she took her sister out to play.
He Qingping was of course very happy. The difficult questions she encountered in the final exam were making her question her life, but she didn't expect to get such a big surprise after the exam!
The eldest sister gave her a suitcase, saying that she borrowed it from Wu Muxiang.
If He Shuiping hadn't said that, the suitcase would definitely not have fallen into the hands of her younger sister. It would be strange if her parents didn't give such a good thing to her younger brother.
Because her elder sister sold clothes, He Qingping also got a few new sets of clothes with the care of her elder sister, all of which were very inconspicuous styles.
She packed her clothes into the suitcase, and there seemed to be nothing left to pack.
At night she tossed and turned in bed, too excited to sleep.
She opened her eyes, listening to the thud of mice running in the corner and the chirping of insects outside. She couldn't help but imagine what Guangzhou would be like.
I didn't expect that she could actually go to Guangzhou...
I fell asleep before I knew it.
The beautiful July 1st arrived as expected.
In the morning, the sun's rays only shine on a corner of the field. Facing the dew on the grass in the cool morning, one feels happy, comfortable and relaxed.
The most important thing is that I can go out and see the world!
Wu Muxiang called two tricycles.
"The road is under construction now and it's difficult to travel on. Let's take a tricycle."
He Shuiping nodded with a normal expression, but He Qingping was secretly happy in her heart.
She had never ridden this before - the county town was so far away, and she was of course very happy to be able to take a car instead of walking.
The tricycle went up quickly and bumpily. Sitting on the tricycle, you could see morning glories along the way. Behind the flowers were endless flat fields and green rice waves full of vitality.
For He Qingping, these were all extremely novel experiences.
The train was to depart at noon, so the four of them had breakfast in the county town, bought some long-lasting food, and then went to the train station to wait for the train.
These foods were Wu Muxiang's cover-up. After all, she could exchange them from the mall at any time - bread, steamed buns, dumplings, milk... they were even still hot when she exchanged them.
However, since Sister He Shuiping is around, I have to cover it up.
If riding a tricycle was a novel experience only for He Qingping, then riding a train was a new thing for all four of them.
Unlike in the early years, it is not difficult to buy sleeper berths now, and four people have to spend the night on the train, so Wu Muxiang did not save money.
Several people went up to their bunks, all with expressions of curiosity and excitement.
Fang Guier patted the bed and said with a smile, "That's great! I can even lie down and sleep on the train!"
Wu Muxiang also found it new and exciting: "This is my first time riding a train too. It feels quite different."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the receding scenery outside the window, feeling open-minded, wondering if this trip would be fruitful.
Even if not, it's good to go out and have some fun.
Wu Muxiang took out some mangoes and dried bananas from her bag, placed them on the small table, and said with a smile:
"I brought some dried fruit. I put it here. Take it if you want to eat it."
He Shuiping: "Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite then!"
She knew that Wu Muxiang was not being polite to her, so she stopped being shy and gave some to her sister, fearing that she would not dare to take it.
If nothing else, these dried fruits are fragrant and sweet.
