If Lin Shuying were to choose for herself, she would of course prefer to be closer to home.
Chen Chunhua had originally thought about waiting for the results to come out before deciding. If her daughter did get a very high score, it certainly wouldn't be wasted.
The reality is cruel. The current college entrance examination requires you to estimate your scores first and then apply for admission, which is quite difficult. Unlike the later college entrance examinations, you can easily get into your ideal university after knowing your scores and then applying for admission.
Lin Shuying rested at home for three days, and then returned to school according to the time set by her teacher before the college entrance examination.
This time they went to check the answers seriously. The standard answers announced by the teacher are always more accurate than those they randomly compared themselves.
Lin Shuying carefully calculated her score three times. Aside from the essay, which she wasn't entirely sure about, she was pretty sure of everything else. Her previous estimate had been low, but today, she felt like she'd get at least 538.
What can I say about this score? There is no chance for me to get into the first batch of key universities, but I will be able to get into an undergraduate program.
After estimating the scores, the teacher handed out the application forms. Some students who were taking the college entrance examination for the first time were still looking up at the school directory posted at the top, confused and not knowing which school to fill in.
There are also some old hands who have repeated the grade for two or three years, and they fill in the papers as soon as they get them.
Lin Shuying also had a relatively smooth journey. After all, everyone in the first batch of admissions went to the same universities.
Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, fill in as high as your heart allows, and by the way, write another row of obedience below.
What if a blind cat catches a dead mouse?
In the first round of applications, she filled out Zhejiang University and Fudan University, and considered Tongji University, Jiaotong University, and Nanjing University. Then, in the second round of applications, she carefully filled out Shanghai Foreign Trade University, Hangzhou University, and Hangzhou Business School.
Anyway, there are only three to fill in. Just like her mother doesn't want her to walk too far, she doesn't want to run too far either. She mainly follows the principle of staying close to home.
Several of my choices were for economics-related majors, and I filled in "accept assignment" in all the columns.
The third batch also filled in all the junior colleges in the province, but she left the middle column at the bottom blank. If she was so unlucky that she couldn't even get into junior college, she would rather repeat the year.
After handing in the application form and saying goodbye to the teacher, she walked out of the classroom.
Chen Chunhua had been waiting for her outside for a long time. She had packed her things in the dormitory for her, and the mother and daughter left the school and returned home together.
At this point, Lin Shuying's main life tasks now are rest and play. With her other three children still having summer homework, she really has nothing to worry about.
In front of the TV in the main hall of the Lin family, Lin Shuying and Wu Ni sat side by side, watching TV, enjoying the electric fan, each holding half a chilled watermelon and taking a spoonful. It was really—
I feel chilled to the bone, yet my heart is high.
Chen Chunhua and his wife had almost forgotten about the refrigerator voucher. It was only a few days before the college entrance examination, when Lin Guoqing had just sent Lin Shuying on board the ship, that he suddenly remembered it.
"Oh! If I hadn't forgotten, Shuying would have been able to eat ice watermelon before the college entrance exam!"
But it’s not too late to think about it now. I’ll buy it quickly so Shuying can eat it after she finishes her exams!
Lin Guoqing asked Chen Chunhua for money, and the next day he went to buy a refrigerator with the money and the ticket, but was told that it was out of stock.
I went again two days later, but still there was no stock.
When will it be available?
have no idea.
Until the college entrance examination was over, there was no sign of replenishment, which made Lin Guoqing so angry that he wanted to curse.
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long. The college entrance examination ended on the 9th and the refrigerator arrived on the 15th.
Ye Juncai, who helped Lin Guoqing keep an eye on the department store whenever he had time, quickly called him and said, "Come quickly, or it will be gone if you are late!"
After receiving the call, Lin Guoqing quickly took a taxi over and quickly grabbed the latest model.
A domestic refrigerator cost 1,350 yuan, which was most of Lin Guoqing’s income last year!
But he didn't feel particularly bad about it. If he didn't spend any money, it was considered profit!
The green refrigerator is not even as tall as a person. It has a handle on each side, the top one is for freezing and the bottom one is for refrigeration.
After Lin Guoqing moved back home, he quickly plugged in the electricity and bought several bottles of soda and put them in. When it felt cold, he put some watermelon in.
The Lin and Ma children spent most of their summer vacation together, especially when it came time to do their homework. Lin Shuying had just finished her college entrance exam, while Wu Ni had finished her homework right at the start of the holiday.
These two typical good kids were eating the first bite of watermelon they took out of the refrigerator.
As soon as the cool and refreshing red flesh entered her mouth, Shuying's eyes narrowed. It was completely different from the coolness of soaking in water!
"...Sister...let me have a taste too..."
A head popped out from the stairwell. Lin Shuchao came down from upstairs for some unknown reason, staring at the two of them with eager eyes and swallowing his saliva.
The next second, another person popped out from under Lin Shuchao's head. It was Jiu Ni.
"Fifth sister...I want to eat too..."
Then came Bani, Qini, Shumei...Except for Lin Shuquan, all the little kids who were doing their homework upstairs came down, and none of them were behaving themselves!
Wu Ni glared, but she lacked any momentum. "Didn't we agree to finish today's mission before coming down to watch TV and eat watermelon? Are you done?"
The little heads shook one after another.
"You came down before you finished? Do you have any self-awareness at all?!"
"Can't we eat first and then do it? By the time we're done, the watermelon won't be cold anymore..." Qi Ni whispered pitifully.
Lin Shuying smiled and pointed to the kitchen. "Don't worry, there are still watermelons in the refrigerator. We just took one out and put another one in. They will be ready for you to eat when you finish cooking!"
There was nothing else in their refrigerator. There were a few bottles of soda and two rows of eggs on the wall. The partitions inside were pulled out to maximize the space, and then two watermelons were stacked on top of them.
Chen Chunhua had previously suggested that leftovers could be placed there, but Liang Shengdi immediately dismissed the idea. "Who's so rich that they even have leftovers?" So, the place temporarily became a watermelon counter.
"The book hasn't come down yet. If you delay any longer, he'll be down to eat the watermelon soon, and you're still dawdling there."
The two elder sisters were not flexible at all and insisted that they finish their homework before discussing the next steps. However, just filling in the homework book was not enough. They would also check for correctness. Those who wrote carelessly, like Lin Shuchao, would be forced to sit at the desk and start all over again.
The third child felt that life had never been so dark. In the past, everyone had to rush to harvest in the summer, and the eldest sister also had to review and do homework, so how could she have so much time to take care of him.
Now there is no need to work in the fields, and Lin Shuying has no summer homework. Lin Shugan feels more self-conscious than anyone else that he doesn't need anyone to supervise him. Although Lin Shumei has a lot of small movements, she can still sit on the bench until it wears out with just a word from her elder sister.
So the only person under key surveillance was Lin Shuchao.
Because his grades were not good, Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua repeatedly told Shuying to explain the questions to her brother when she had time, and also asked a future teacher, Comrade Ma Wuni, to help.
The third child suddenly felt that this summer vacation was worse than going to school.
