Gu Miao was shocked and asked nervously, "Sister Tiantian, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying suddenly?"
Qin Tiantian held her hand and choked up, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law and I used to be so close, but ever since I fell in love with A Jing, they started to be jealous of me climbing up the social ladder, and they ignored me and didn't even say hello. Sigh... Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel sad."
"Really?" Gu Miao rolled her eyes in anger: "It must have been that country fisherwoman! My eldest brother is not that kind of person."
Qin Tiantian sobbed and sighed, "Your eldest brother has always been the man of the Gu family, so it's only natural that he listens to his wife. The environment here in Yucheng is good, and the house your eldest brother got is bright and spacious. Although the Gu family's house is large, it's old and not lived in after all, and it can't be compared with the brand new suite. So, I wish you could come here and live in the new house as soon as possible."
Gu Miao was deeply moved and patted the back of her hand.
"You are the only one who feels sorry for me, Sister Tiantian! The house my eldest brother got is really spacious and beautiful, and the furniture is so fancy. They live in such luxurious houses, but my sister, mom and I are left to live in a shabby old house - I feel it's unfair just thinking about it!"
Qin Tiantian smiled gently and whispered, "Fortunately, you have graduated and can come here to work and live. With a sister like you, I will not be alone in Yucheng."
"Of course!" Gu Miao said happily, "In the future, I will also live in a beautiful new suite and make money for myself! Most importantly, I can see Sister Tiantian every day!"
Qin Tiantian was secretly happy when she saw that the silly little lamb had fallen into the pit.
"Yes! We can meet every day in the future, go shopping in department stores together, buy beautiful clothes, and eat delicious food and seafood together."
Gu Miao's eyes lit up when she heard this and she swallowed fascinatedly.
"Sister Tiantian, when are we going to--"
"Alas!" Qin Tiantian interrupted her at the right time, tears welling up in her eyes as she whispered, "What a pity, I have to take care of my baby now, so I can't go out with you for the time being. Besides, I still have the most important thing to do... I'm feeling depressed right now."
"Ah?" Gu Miao became worried and asked nervously, "What's the important thing? What are you worried about?"
Qin Tiantian wiped her tears and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Miao looked around and said innocently, "Look! You live in such a big house, and you have an old woman to take care of you. Your brother-in-law is so rich and powerful, and you are even pregnant with his child. What else do you have to worry about? Who else can have the same fate as you? There is no one at all!"
Qin Tiantian sobbed and whispered: "You are still young, you don't understand these things yet."
"What's the matter?" Gu Miao asked cautiously, "Can't I know? Sister Tiantian, just tell me."
Qin Tiantian looked at her aggrievedly, choking with sobs: "Although Ah Jing and I are truly in love and even pregnant, his mother... doesn't even know about it. We planned to get married soon, but - but we can't do it yet."
Gu Miao said "Ah?" and then she remembered this incident belatedly.
"So you haven't gotten married yet? No wonder, I haven't heard my mother talk about it. Just now I was wondering why Aunt Cai didn't send wedding candy to our family. Sister Tiantian, you know I like wedding candy the most, especially--"
"Ah Miao." Qin Tiantian interrupted her nonsense and coaxed her: "My parents are old and can't come all the way here. My brother is away from home and I can't find him even if I want to. Ah Miao, you are finally here. I won't be alone anymore. You are my sister and my family. With your help, I don't have to worry about no one helping me."
Gu Miao was a little confused and nodded instinctively.
"What? Sister Tiantian, how can I help you?"
Qin Tiantian asked with tears in her eyes: "Ah Miao, you will definitely help me, right? When something happens to you, I will risk my life to share the hardship with you. I would never let you suffer alone."
"Of course!" Gu Miao patted her chest and said loudly, "We are sisters! Your business is my business! No matter what it is, I will help you!"
Qin Tiantian smiled happily and held her hand tightly.
"Ah Miao, you are really my little sister!"
…………
Before the college entrance examination, class teacher Ren Lin gave everyone a few more test papers and reminded everyone again of various matters that they should pay attention to.
"Remember, don't be late, and don't be nervous. I asked teachers in neighboring cities, and they didn't do as many high school senior exams as we did. Our teachers set up all kinds of mock tests and prediction questions, and the level and difficulty are higher than those in other cities. So everyone should have confidence in themselves."
Everyone smiled one after another, but they still didn't feel confident.
Teacher Lin Ming looked at everyone and said in a warm voice: "In the past six months, I have witnessed you all working hard to prepare for the exam, and I feel very gratified. No matter what the outcome is, you have fought and struggled for your dreams. God rewards hard work, and time will surely give you a satisfactory answer for your hard work and dedication."
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears and they clapped their hands vigorously.
Principal Li came and gave everyone a passionate speech of encouragement, and wished everyone success.
The class monitor called for everyone to stand up, and everyone bowed to Principal Li to express their gratitude.
Principal Li smiled gently, waved his hand and walked away.
The class teacher reminded us again: "The relevant personnel from the Education Bureau will come to arrange the examination room in the afternoon. Everyone should rest after returning. Be sure to go to bed early at night, and don't read until late at night. You can cram at the last minute, but it's not necessary to stay up late. It's more important to get enough rest."
Everyone laughed.
Teacher Lin Ming reminded carefully: "Try to come early every morning, bring lunch and water in your schoolbag, and remember to make it as rich as possible if conditions permit. Students who live nearby should try to go together and remind each other to bring things so that they can take care of each other on the way. Students who live far from school, especially those who live in the north of the city, should leave earlier to ensure that they have enough time to wait outside the examination room."
Everyone answered in unison.
Teacher Lin Ming asked everyone to put the desks in order and clean up.
After a while, the students left the classroom one after another.
It was almost noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the heat was rolling.
Chen Xingling and Jia Shuanghua rode their bikes towards the north of the city, heading first to Shuiyue Road, intending to check out the new housing construction site that had just started two days ago.
I saw a dozen masters working enthusiastically, with hoes on and hoes off, dirt flying in winnowing baskets, and they were all busy and sweating.
Jia Shuanghua was a little stunned and asked, "Why... so many people?"
Chen Xingling answered in a low voice: "The wages are fifty cents more than other places. Master Mo said that a few more bricklayers will come in a couple of days."
"Money is so attractive!" Jia Shuanghua chuckled and asked, "By the way, when will it be completed?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Master Mo said that more people means faster work, so he will try to help me arrange it faster. I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, after the foundation is done, I can just lay bricks and walls, and then slowly decorate. The place is not big, there are only two floors, so it shouldn't take a few months."
She had inquired before and knew that it would cost about two hundred dollars to build a house, and one-tenth more with an upper floor.
She didn't understand this business and didn't know who to ask to supervise these things.
Master Mo was very enthusiastic and said that there was no such building in Yucheng, and he must make it beautiful and it would be his masterpiece.
Chen Xingling's brothers are all good at construction work. 㹏东 said they would come to help when they are free in the afternoon, and would take care of everything from supervising the purchase of materials to doing the work.
"My brothers are responsible for buying high-quality sand, soil, bricks and other materials. We have a tractor at home to help transport them, so we don't have to worry about being cheated on materials, and we may even save a lot of money. Master Mo said that if we speed up and have enough manpower, the project should be completed in more than two months."
"That's pretty quick!" Jia Shuanghua was looking forward to it and said with a smile, "I want to be the first to visit then!"
Chen Xingling nodded hurriedly: "No problem!"
