During lunch, the two chatted a lot, but they only drank a little.
The main reason was that Li Qiao wanted to stay for a gathering with Zheng Qiang and others in the evening, but Huo Qianli would not attend that occasion.
It's not that he has any conflicts with those people, but there is only one protagonist in the farewell party. If he goes, he will steal some of the limelight.
In the small county town in midsummer, the sun is blazing and the heat waves are rolling.
Even if you walk in the shade of trees on the street, you cannot withstand the double pressure of passing vehicles and air-conditioning units in street shops.
But the young couple from Hushan Village did not find it too unbearable. They walked side by side on the street with a somewhat leisurely look.
Jiang Qingyue silently grasped Huo Qianli's hand and whispered, "Do you feel bad?"
It was only after she listened to Li Qiao's words at the table that she understood the ins and outs of the matter. Recalling Huo Qianli's calmness during these days, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Huo Qianli shook his head. "I feel that this is indeed the case, but it's not as exaggerated as Secretary Li said."
He held Jiang Qingyue's hand and sat on a chair under the shade of a tree in the city park, looking at the county party committee building that was not far away. "Actually, this is a kind of exchange."
"exchange?"
"Yes." Huo Qianli pursed his lips. "For example, my family is very poor, but I can weave flower baskets, and I made a very beautiful one. The county magistrate likes this, and I may get benefits if I present it to him. A young man from a wealthy family knew the news, so he found me first and told me that if I gave him this flower basket, I could say that he made it. In return, he could give me a large sum of money, a sum that I might have to spend many years to earn, and it is also the money I need most at the moment."
He looked at Jiang Qingyue and smiled self-deprecatingly, "How should I put it... it's just..."
Jiang Qingyue said softly: "It's better than robbing openly."
Huo Qianli suddenly waved his hand and smiled casually, "This is just my guess, I'm just telling you, you can wait and see what's going on, I still have confidence in the organization."
Jiang Qingyue nodded, "I have confidence in you, too."
"Oh, by the way, when will your scores be released?"
"Tomorrow morning at nine."
Huo Qianli nodded and couldn't help asking, "Do you have an answer?"
Jiang Qingyue shook her head. There were no computers in Hushan Village, and she didn't have time to check the answers online.
"So there's no estimate?"
"I estimated it." Jiang Qingyue said, "It's probably between 635 and 640. It should be no problem for him to go to Shuzhou University."
Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows, "Is the estimate so accurate?"
Jiang Qingyue hummed, "There are about 100 points of questions that I didn't do. Adding the subjectivity of the essay, it should be in this range."
???
Huo Qianli turned his head in horror and swallowed.
The full score is 750, but 100 points are missing, leaving 650. After deducting the 10 points for the composition, the final score is 640.
What species is this?
If you take the exam seriously, you can get close to full marks, right?
Looking at Huo Qianli's expression, Jiang Qingyue suddenly laughed, "What are you thinking about! I'm not that powerful!"
She went on to explain: "Those I didn't do were basically the ones I wasn't sure about. I thought that I wouldn't need that many points anyway, so I just focused on getting all the points I could get. So, the ones I did were the ones I was sure of."
Huo Qianli was silent for a moment, then said, "Have I delayed you? In fact, it might be more appropriate for you to let go, get high scores, go to the top universities to do scientific research, and become an expert?"
"Maybe I can, but I don't like it." Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "It is said that our whole life is just to get rid of other people's expectations and find our true self. But the so-called finding the true self has never been defined."
She looked at Huo Qianli and said, "My definition is happiness. I am happy when I am with you."
Huo Qianli smiled, reached out, and gently pinched her smooth, fair face.
He stood up, took a long breath, and relaxed his body. "Let's go. Let's take a good look around Dongjiang today and have a good meal. I don't know when I can come back!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Didn't you say within a month or two?"
Huo Qianli immediately stared at her with burning eyes, a triumphant smile on his face, "Do you agree?"
The sentence just now was a trap. I didn’t expect that Jiang Qingyue, who has always been smart, actually jumped into it as she wished.
There was no panic, no jumping, no sudden exclamation, Jiang Qingyue just looked at him gently with a smile.
"why not?"
Huo Qianli was stunned, but he was a little confused, "Aren't you going to propose and be romantic or something?"
"Since I've determined it's you, it's fine as long as it's you."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and took his hand, "Let's go, take me to eat something delicious."
"Okay!"
A crisp and clear response was heard among the grass and trees covered with mottled light and shadow.
.......
The next morning, Jiang Qingyue checked her college entrance examination results, which were 640.
This year, there were 100,000 candidates in the extended examination area, and the first place in liberal arts was 648.
In the Education Bureau, Huo Qianli rubbed his face and looked at Jiang Qingyue very seriously, "Let's go to Yanjing!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and rolled her eyes at him, then wrote the number of Shuzhou University on the application card.
Then I handed the application card with only one school filled in to the admissions office staff.
She turned around triumphantly, opened her arms in triumph, clenched her fists, and smiled brightly, "Let's go! To Jincheng!"
