After just a few days, I couldn't hold on any longer.
Fortunately, the aunt in the cafeteria was easy to talk to, so she begged and pleaded, even kneeling down to beg several times, and finally got a job helping out in the kitchen.
Every day at noon and after school in the afternoon, she would run to help.
Although I don’t earn much, only five dollars a month, it provides for my lunch and dinner.
She kept this a secret so well that no one knew about it.
Everyone thought they were studying in the library, after all, most of the students were doing that.
Unexpectedly, it was exposed!
Zhang Yaxin saw through her expression and softened her expression slightly. "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone else. I was planning to pretend I didn't see it, but the school recently had an opportunity. I saw that they're co-hosting an event at the Academic Affairs Office. If you can write an essay and win first place, you'll get 100 yuan!"
"How much did you say?"
Zhang Yaxin was speechless. She was so excited just over a hundred yuan.
"one hundred!"
"so much!"
Tian Xiaojuan was a little excited.
If I really had this hundred yuan, plus the job in the cafeteria, I would definitely be able to survive these four years.
"Thank you, I misunderstood you."
"No need. I'm just giving you a sneak peek. Prepare well for now. As for whether you can get first place, I'm afraid..."
“I have good writing skills.”
"Don't forget that there are always people who are better than you. From what I know, Lin Jiaojiao is very capable. She's even had a lot of articles published in the People's Daily before, and she's made a lot of money just from the royalties!"
"Are you sure? That's the People's Daily!"
"You forgot I knew her. If you don't believe me, just look in the newspaper!"
Seeing that Tian Xiaojuan believed her, Zhang Yaxin curled up a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Three days later.
As Zhang Yaxin said, every class received the news.
Tian Xiaojuan looked at the registration form in her hand, glanced at Zhang Yaxin and Lin Jiaojiao with complicated eyes, and signed her name on it with a firm gaze.
"Jiaojiao, do you want to report it?"
“The themes all look interesting, I want to try them.”
"Well, those people are in trouble!"
"Weiwei, why do you say that?" Zheng Meng'e gossiped beside her with a puzzled look on her face.
Zheng Weiwei raised her eyebrows complacently. "Don't you see who they're facing? Lin Jiaojiao, I heard she got a perfect score in Chinese. That's Chinese, her composition and reading comprehension are amazing!"
"Oh? Yeah, why didn't I think of that! Never mind, I won't sign up then. Jiaojiao, if you really get the prize, remember to treat us to candy."
"I haven't decided whether to sign up yet. You guys are exaggerating!"
"Report it, you must report it. If you don't report it, I will report it for you."
Zheng Weiwei immediately snatched Lin Jiaojiao's registration form and filled in the information for her.
Tian Xiaojuan saw all the quarrels among the group.
"You heard it too, so forget it. Lin Jiaojiao is really strong. If you don't believe me, look at this."
Tian Xiaojuan took what Zhang Yaxin handed over and asked, "What is this?"
"Look at you, you're so busy in the cafeteria every day, and you don't even know this? This is our school newspaper. Lin Jiaojiao was recently forced by the teacher to publish an article in it. Take a good look at it, maybe you can learn something from it."
“…” Tian Xiaojuan hurriedly picked it up and took a look. The more she looked at it, the colder her heart became.
There is not a single word of unnecessary nonsense in the article from beginning to end. It is so refreshing to read!
She has loved reading since she was a child, and she would read carefully any book she found.
When he was eight years old, he could write an essay of 800 words by himself.
Among the people around him, he is considered a little prodigy!
But even if her talent is flowing and she is best at the subject, she may not be able to write such an article.
One hundred dollars... just gone like that?
But what about her tuition for next semester?
My family will definitely not help.
It is even more impossible to go out for a part-time job now!
I have classes from morning to night every day, even at night. Although I have two days off on Saturdays and Sundays, I can't find such a suitable job.
Many educated youth took the opportunity of this exam to return to the city. They have no jobs yet and are idle at home. How could it be their turn?
No, she must get this money!
"By the way, have you heard that our school will have a group of auditors coming in a couple of days? I wonder if the Chinese department will have any."
"What is an auditor?"
"I said you were stupid, and you really are stupid!" Zheng Weiwei pinched the tip of Zheng Meng'e's nose deliberately with disgust.
Zheng Meng'e didn't get angry, and looked gossipy: "Come on, tell me, you know we don't usually get close to those people outside, and I heard all the news from you."
“I’ve heard something about this!”
A girl sitting in the right corner heard the conversation and came over to gossip: "Auditors are people who didn't get into a certain school, but have certain special qualifications and can apply to audit a certain school."
"Special qualifications? Are you trying to be special again?"
"Don't say anything careless."
Zheng Meng'e looked at the serious eyes of the students around her and quickly covered her mouth: "Sorry, sorry, I started talking nonsense again."
"It's not your fault, actually. He didn't explain it clearly. It's not about any special qualifications. It's about those who have the ability but can't take the college entrance examination for some reason. For example, they just came back from abroad, or they have excellent scores in liberal arts but not so good in science. Overall, they are too biased and can't get into our school. As long as they pass the review, they can be accepted."
"So, they are very capable!"
"Of course. If you want to be an auditor in our school, you have to be capable. I just don't know if you can be assigned to our class."
"Why? You're so excited to see them!"
"Of course, most of them have returned from abroad. I heard that the development abroad is very good now, and I want to hear what they have to say."
"Going abroad, God, I can't even think about it!"
Lin Jiaojiao listened to everyone gossiping and didn't participate much.
The term auditor is not unfamiliar.
This also exists in modern society, but the screening qualifications are not so strict.
However, if there are one or two students returning from abroad, communicating with them would be a good choice!
Soon the teacher came and everyone ended the topic hastily.
…
On the other hand, Qin Siyan finally got a spot as an auditor and was extremely happy!
I specially invited Mu Yanjin to my home for dinner.
Mu Yanjin glanced at the sumptuous dinner on the table, then looked at the figure still busy in the kitchen, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "There's really no need to prepare more. It's just the two of us, there's no need to make so much."
"No way, today is my happiest day. No matter what, don't stop me!"
"As long as you're happy, actually..."
Qin Siyan just came out with the last bowl of soup. Seeing Mu Yanjin hesitated to speak, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Anyway, it depends on your choice."
“…”
