Chapter 239 High School Life is Over
The Natus workshop downstairs also started work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Chen Guilan had agreed with Ding Mei long before the New Year that everyone in the workshop would come to her house for lunch at noon on the sixth day of the New Year. Cai Ting came early in the morning and said that Ding Mei asked her to come and help with cooking.
What Su Jiaojiao didn't expect was that Chen Xiaohong also came back. When she heard that the people from Natus were having dinner at Su Jiaojiao's house, she volunteered to stay and help with cooking, and even brought over the vegetables she brought back from her hometown.
Chen Guilan asked her why she wanted to get married.
Chen Xiaohong sighed: "Originally it was planned to be before the New Year, but Wang Jian's grandmother passed away, so the wedding was postponed. Now it's scheduled for May Day."
"May Day is a good day." Cai Ting volunteered, "Jingjiao and I will be your bridesmaids."
"Of course, it must be you two." Chen Xiaohong glanced at Su Jiaojiao, "But Jiaojiao is about to take the college entrance examination. I don't know if she has time."
"Sister Xiaohong, I really don't have time." Su Jiaojiao said truthfully, "Our school only has half a day off."
Chen Xiaohong did not hold her wedding in the community, but in Wang Jian's hometown. If she was to be a bridesmaid, she would have to go there and stay there in advance. The back and forth would not be as simple as wasting a day.
Her time is tight and precious, so she really can't go.
"Her cousin from her uncle's family is also getting married on May Day and wants Jiaojiao to be her bridesmaid, but Jiaojiao is taking the college entrance exam and can't make it." Chen Guilan laughed, "Our neighborhood is full of happy events."
"Studying is important, just focus on your own things." Chen Xiaohong expressed her understanding. "After you finish the college entrance examination, we can get together again."
Everyone in the Natus workshop returned in unison.
With the salary and benefits in place, no one wants to change jobs.
Su Jiaojiao's leather jacket has been made at Natus for more than a year. In Liu Ming's words, she can make it with her eyes closed, but she has no plans to change the style.
She asked Ding Mei to continue producing this leather jacket for the first half of the year.
After she finishes the college entrance examination, she will study new styles and make men's and women's clothing together. She suggested that Ding Mei set up another assembly line specifically for men's clothing.
This is what Ding Mei meant. She has paid off all her debts and is now debt-free. She even has some money left over and can set up a new assembly line by hiring three or five more people.
The old Natus is back.
Su Jiaojiao gave everyone a New Year's red envelope of 100 yuan, including one for Ding Mei. Everyone was flattered and said that they would work hard this year and focus on both quality and production.
In the evening, Liang Kun came again and said that the matter had been settled.
The two brothers were just pretending and didn't really say they wanted to compete with them. In the end, it was Xu Zhiming's father who approached the Tishan Village Committee and finalized the contract fee at 40,000 yuan per year.
"The market layout is arranged just as you said, and everyone thinks it's great." Liang Kun was very happy. "They asked me to tell you that they want to treat you to a meal."
"Let's talk about it later. I'm busy now." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go. She didn't want to sit and have dinner with a bunch of grown men. It would be awkward.
After May Day, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.
The chirping of cicadas outside the window tore open a corner of the midsummer in July. The sultry summer made the tense atmosphere become anxious and depressing.
Until the countdown days on the blackboard became single digits.
Su Jiaojiao realized that the real test for her was coming. Although she usually regarded herself as an adult, this was her first time experiencing such a major test and she had no experience at all.
She believed that she had not been lazy in the past three years and had always worked very hard, especially in her senior year of high school. She got up early and went to bed late, and the test papers she had done piled up higher than her desk.
Although she performed very well in the three mock exams, everything is subject to change. She was worried that she would get sick and that she would not be able to answer the questions because of nervousness.
For this reason, Teacher Zhang had a special talk with her, asking her to treat the college entrance examination with a normal mind and relax, saying that as long as she performed normally, her results would definitely be fine.
She was also asked to study with Chen Yi. Chen Yi would go to the playground to play basketball every night and was in a very relaxed state.
Su Jiaojiao is not Chen Yi and cannot truly relax.
Seeing parents crowding at the school gate every day to deliver meals and cheer on the candidates, she became more and more nervous. She did not let Chen Guilan come, but just told her to go home after the exam.
Chen Guilan went to Hualian Department Store to sell goods every day and was busy as usual. It was only when she chatted with Li Na that she felt that she should go to school to see her daughter.
She specially made dumplings and sent them to Su Jiaojiao, and also took her cell phone with her. Su Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She opened her cell phone and looked at it, then casually replied to Lu Jingyou with a few text messages and asked her to take it back.
Before Chen Guilan picked up the phone, Lu Jingyou's reply text message arrived. He didn't say anything, just told her to relax and treat it like any other exam.
When she actually sat in the college entrance examination room, Su Jiaojiao was suddenly not nervous anymore. As long as she did every question carefully, she would leave the rest to fate.
After the last exam, the students returned to the dormitory with a sense of relief, packed their luggage, and ran to their parents who had been waiting at the school gate.
There was no sadness of farewell outside the long pavilion or along the ancient road as I had imagined, and my three-year high school life ended just like that.
Su Jiaojiao didn't have much luggage, but she packed it last. For some reason, she was not in a hurry to leave school. Instead, she felt an indescribable emptiness in her heart.
Once you leave school, you will come back with a different identity.
After packing her luggage, she went to the office to find Teacher Zhang to thank him for his care and support over the past three years.
Su Jiaojiao has always been Teacher Zhang's favorite student. Teacher Zhang asked about Su Jiaojiao's answers and estimated that her scores should be better than those in the mock exam. He told her to relax and apply for admission after the scores were released.
If you need help, you can come to the school to find her at any time.
After coming out of the office, Su Jiaojiao walked around the campus. Some parents brought cameras and took photos in front of the teaching building with their children who had just finished the college entrance examination. Everyone's face was filled with a relieved smile.
After being divided into classes in her senior year, she focused on studying and did not make any new friends. Xu Mengyao, Zhang Lili, and Chen Yi were not in the same class with her.
During the college entrance examination, the examination room was different and she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to them.
Su Jiaojiao dragged her suitcase and didn't leave the campus until after four o'clock.
Su Houli and Gao Meifeng came to pick up Xue Yuxin. Gao Meifeng and Xue Yuxin talked affectionately and walked hand in hand in front. Su Houli walked behind the mother and daughter with a suitcase.
Su Jiaojiao watched the three people disappear into the crowd before turning and walking in the opposite direction.
It only takes half an hour to walk from No. 1 Middle School to Century Garden, which is not far.
When she looked up, she saw Lu Jingyou holding a bouquet of flowers and standing in front of her with a smile on his face. Su Jiaojiao took a few quick steps towards him and asked happily, "Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
"You finally saw me." As Su Jiaojiao walked out of the school gate, Lu Jingyou saw her. She looked around and refused to look in his direction. He handed her the flowers and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your smooth journey through high school life. I wish you success in the college entrance examination and all your dreams come true."
"Thank you." Su Jiaojiao took the flowers. There were roses, sunflowers, lilies, and baby's breath. Very beautiful flowers. She asked him, "Are you from Guangzhou?"
"Yes, I'll be there at noon. I've been waiting for you until now." Lu Jingyou picked up her luggage and put it in the trunk. After she got in the car, he said, "I'll take you home first. You should have a good rest. I'll pick you up from your house tomorrow. I have something I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter?" Su Jiaojiao didn't think she could help him in any way.
