During the two days of the college entrance examination, the teacher was very obedient to Shengxia, and Shengxia's performance was also quite good. However, Qin Ge was persuaded for a long time by the teacher to drop out, and in the end the teacher had to say that it was a pity to let such a good student drop out.
But after all, going to school also requires money, and going to school can only be discussed after ensuring food and clothing. Qin Ge cannot have both, so he can only keep himself alive first.
Shengxia's examination venue was in another high school, which was just a little distance away from the city. Since they were in the same city, the streets were similar. After the exam, she waited for Qin Ge to pick her up.
As soon as she came out of the examination room, she found Qin Ge waiting for her at the entrance.
They hadn't seen each other for many days. Qin Ge had become much darker and his arms had become stronger. The two girls who had just come out of the examination room kept looking at him, their faces blushing.
Shengxia found a water pipe on the roadside for Qin Ge. Qin Ge washed his hands, took out a popsicle from his bag and handed it to Shengxia.
"Eat it first, or it will melt in a moment."
Shengxia felt sweet inside and put the cold popsicle on her face to cool down. "Have you been paid at the construction site?"
Qin Ge nodded: "How did you do on the exam?"
When asked this question, Shengxia felt uneasy. She tore open the wrapper of the popsicle and licked it while thinking.
In my previous life, I didn’t care about the college entrance examination at all. I even fell asleep in the middle of the exam and got up late the next day and didn’t go.
But I felt that this exam was exceptionally simple, so simple that it made me nervous.
"What if I do really badly on the test? I look at the questions on the test paper and the answers come to me right away. You say the people who wrote the questions can't be stupid, right? Maybe I misunderstood?"
I guess if Zhang Xiaofen heard this, she would slap her.
"It's okay. Just take whatever you get. I'm here for you."
"Now that the exam is over, don't think about these things anymore. What do you want to eat? I'll take you to a restaurant." After saying that, he took the bag from Shengxia's back and carried it himself.
Shengxia's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? There's a reward after the exam?"
"You did well in the exam, so of course I'll reward you."
If they weren't on the street, Shengxia really wanted to jump up and kiss him. In this era when everyone was poor, she had never eaten out and was almost dying of greed.
Shengxia looked around and found a Sichuan restaurant not far away. She loved spicy food and immediately said, "Let's go there."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Ge and ran over.
This kind of Sichuan restaurant is very popular nowadays. It is affordable and unique.
The store is not big, but you can smell the aroma of boiled pork slices from far away.
Qin Ge brought the menu over and asked her to order. He was now a small foreman at the construction site, earning more than at the auto repair shop. He didn't have much money to spend on his own, so he saved it all for her. Foreman Zhao Wu thought that he was willing to endure hardships and work steadily, so he would take him with him on any private work he had.
Even in the middle of summer, I wasn't so heartless. I only ordered two cheap dishes and a boiled fish, and it came in a huge pot. No wonder people nearby love to eat here, it's really affordable.
Shengxia drank several sips of water because of the spiciness and couldn't help saying, "The food in this restaurant is so delicious. When I make money in the future, I will come here to eat with you and grandma."
Qin Ge smiled and quickly fed her a few more sips of water.
Shengxia was full after just a few bites. Qin Ge had a big appetite and cleaned up all the leftover dishes.
After dinner, Qin Ge took the leftovers home.
A few days later, Shengxia was eating the fruit her grandma bought for her when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside saying that it was time to check her grades. She quickly ran outside to call Qin Ge.
"Grandma, you can check your grades now. I'll call outside to check them!"
"Kid, why are you in such a hurry? Wipe your mouth before you leave!" Grandma watched Shengxia run away and could only smile and shake her head.
A year ago, Shengxia suddenly fell into a coma due to a high fever and was unconscious for several days. She was sent to the hospital but the cause could not be determined. She was only told that she was going to die from the fever. Shengxia was raised by her and she wanted to die at that time. But after a few days, Shengxia suddenly woke up, but she seemed to be a little confused due to the fever and kept talking nonsense. She hugged her and cried while saying sorry.
Grandma Sheng was afraid that Shengxia was possessed by some evil spirit, so she went to another village to find a very famous fortune teller to check on Shengxia. However, the fortune teller said that Shengxia's fate was full of golden light, and that she would definitely live a good life in the future.
But since then, Shengxia seemed to have become much more sensible. She knew how to study hard, stopped skipping classes, and stopped asking me for money. But there was one thing: she suddenly became very close to the boy from the Qin family.
Grandma sighed and thought, forget it, this was the sin done by the people in the previous life, and it can't be blamed on the child. She doesn't ask her child to become rich and powerful, she just hopes that she can grow up safely and healthily.
Shengxia ran to the village grocery store, paid and lined up to make a phone call. There were more than a dozen people in line in front of her. She waited for more than an hour under the scorching sun. Shengxia's hands were shaking with nervousness. She had not taken many exams in her previous life. What if she didn't do well in the exam?
Shengxia began to pray to God in her heart.
In the middle of summer, she didn't dare to call at first, but kept cheering herself up in her heart. Finally, she mustered up the courage to make the call. When she heard the score on the phone, her eyes lit up instantly.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Qin Ge. The last time he went to take the college entrance examination, Qin Ge left him his phone number.
"I passed the exam. I scored 620 points! I actually scored so high. I'm going to school. I don't have to repeat a grade."
Qin Ge said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "My baby is great. Wait for me at home. I will come to you in the evening and we will go celebrate together."
When the people behind heard the score, their eyes widened in shock.
Shengxia didn't care about the shocked looks of the people around her. She ran home excitedly and shouted as soon as she entered the door: "Grandma, I got 620 points on the test. I can go to college!"
Grandma was waiting anxiously at home. When she heard the voice, she exclaimed in surprise, "Really? He really got into college?"
"Of course I can! I scored over 600! I bet there aren't many people in our entire school who can score higher than me. Grandma, am I amazing?"
Grandma smiled from ear to ear: "My dear is really amazing. Come in and burn some incense for your grandfather. We also have a college student in our family. I will boil an egg for you to nourish your brain."
Sheng Xia was just saying this to her grandmother when people from the county arrived, holding a banner and a 200 yuan reward: "Congratulations, Sheng, you are number one in our county."
When the villagers saw the people from the county, they all gathered at Shengxia's door and said, "Look at this girl! She's really promising! She's the first college student in our village."
When grandma heard the noise outside, she hurried out. When she saw this situation, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
In the evening, Qin Ge rushed back from the construction site. Shengxia looked at the man in front of her. He had been at the construction site for almost two months. The wind and sun had only enhanced his masculinity. The muscles under his short-sleeved shirt seemed to be about to burst out, and they must be very hard to touch.
She quietly brought Qin Ge to her room and whispered in his ear, "I'm about to turn 18."
