Chapter 139 Volunteer Application
Qin Mengmeng and Wang Mianmian, as well as Yu Jiuye and Zhang Sanri.
Four people were sitting on the curb in front of Xincheng No. 2 Senior High School.
Wang Mianmian mingled among the crowd, looking like a mature and ordinary local migrant worker in the new city, no different from the parents around him who were squatting, sitting, standing, driving or riding electric donkeys.
As a young lady, she blended into the crowd perfectly.
Now is the time for the annual college entrance examination. Lin Chaoying and Ma Chaoji were both sent to Xincheng Second Senior High School by Xincheng High School to take the college entrance examination.
If they were taking the college entrance examination at Xincheng High School, they could have occupied a few spots in the tea shop opposite the school gate and waited, but unfortunately Xincheng High School was not even qualified to be the venue for the college entrance examination, so they could only run to the qualified No. 2 High School to wait for the two children to come out after the exam.
Lin Chaoying and Ma Chaoji's parents have no objection to their children hanging out with Qin Mengmeng.
Both of them come from typical new town families.
Parents basically give their children a laissez-faire attitude.
At a young age, children already make their own decisions on everything. Some children who are under high-pressure control from their parents may envy this, but in fact, most of the time, this is not a good thing.
This is usually not because the parents are open-minded, but because they can only barely make ends meet in their own lives and are unable to take care of other things.
The children are left to fend for themselves at a young age.
Wang Mianmian held two thermos cups in her hands, and sweat flowed through her hair into her clothes.
"Sister Meng, do you think they can get into a top university this time?"
Qin Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and said, "... Xincheng High School would have celebrated for months with firecrackers if it could publish a new book. Uh, we can lower our expectations a bit."
Wang Mianmian: “…”
She looked at the thermos cup in her hand affectionately and said, "I think if they can't even get into a top university, then there's no need to save these two cups of ice cream for them. We can just share them."
Wang Mianmian once thought that she was a person with low desires and had no interest in anything.
Later, she was hungry and tired after laying tiles all night. Her stomach growled with hunger, and she realized that her appetite had risen sharply.
Now she was sitting in the crowd of people in June. The only seat was snatched by Yu Jiuye who had a fierce look on his face and fought with several old men and women.
She felt like she was about to melt in the heat.
The two cups of ice cream in his hands, which were originally prepared for the examinees, became particularly tempting.
Zhang Sanri said, "This is not good."
Having said this, he stretched out his hands honestly.
"Before they come out, let's destroy the body as soon as possible. They won't know what happened."
Yu Jiuye despised Zhang Sanri's shamelessness, but when the spoon was handed to him, he did not push it away.
Qin Mengmeng ate ice cream and sighed, "It's so good to be alive."
It feels like people live just for this bite of ice cream among the crowds in midsummer.
Although in order to experience this moment of comfort, one must first sit in the crowd for two or three hours... As the saying goes, a long drought may finally be followed by a downpour of rain. Only after a long drought can one experience the ecstasy and hope of a ray of hope when the rain comes.
Suddenly a bell rang.
"It's coming out, hurry up, or they'll see it and we won't be able to explain it."
As soon as Wang Mianmian destroyed the two thermoses, Lin Chaoying walked out of the school gate happily with her head held high with pride.
"How did you do in the exam?" Zhang Sanri asked her.
Lin Chaoying said: "I think it should be no problem to get into a second-tier university."
Zhang Sanri: “…”
He felt that if he got into a second-tier university, the sky would fall.
But Lin Chaoying said with a beaming face: "Well, I told you I'm awesome!"
Qin Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, it's amazing!"
She wasn't just being polite, she really felt that way.
A long time ago, she discovered that there are many pains in this world, and apart from the real pathological pain, many illusory things have never had any real power.
It is people themselves who make themselves suffer.
Qin Mengmeng looked at Lin Chaoying. Lin Chaoying was such a capable classmate and would never put herself in such a difficult situation in her life.
She will have a very happy life.
Qin Mengmeng took out a small paper crown from behind and put it on Lin Chaoying.
"I'll treat you to hot pot tonight."
Lin Chaoying was very happy: "Great!"
When Ma Chaoji walked out of the school gate slowly, he did not look as happy as Lin Chaoying, but his face was full of confusion. Fortunately, he looked calm.
"I can't do most of the questions." He said seriously. "It feels so hard to get into a junior college, I might as well not go and just go to work in a factory."
Zhang Sanri sighed deeply.
These days when he has nothing to do, he also gives these two children extra lessons.
"It seems that I don't have the talent to be a tutor." He could only admit this sad fact.
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
Qin Mengmeng patted Ma Chaoji on the shoulder and said, "You still have to go to college. I'll pay your tuition. After you finish school, you can work for me directly."
Anyway, the little boy has been working for her and has never stopped.
Before the children learned to be lazy and gluttonous, they were taken in by Qin Mengmeng as his younger brothers. They were almost turned into indentured laborers. Qin Mengmeng treated them all as his younger brothers and sisters.
"It's okay. No matter how you do on the test, I'll treat you guys to hotpot tonight."
Wang Mianmian hummed twice, and suddenly said, "Well... just tell me where you want to eat in the city, and let Yu Jiuye drive over. I'll treat you."
Qin Mengmeng: "Huh?"
This meal was originally supposed to be eaten in the staff dormitory.
Although he had long planned to buy a two-story courtyard to use as a staff dormitory, it still needed to be renovated after purchase. After being persuaded by Qin Mengmeng, Wang Mianmian suddenly felt that decoration seemed to be interesting, so he volunteered to take over the decoration matters.
...The result is that a year has passed and Zhang Sanri is still living in the hotel.
But after all, a year has passed. Wang Mianmian patted his chest yesterday and said that he would definitely go there to eat today to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination and to celebrate the new house. There would be absolutely no problem.
"I just discovered that the open kitchen I designed there...the fumes from the hot pot will spread into the bedroom."
Qin Mengmeng: "...It's not a big problem."
Just make do with it.
For those who work in engineering, the two words they are most familiar with are probably "make do".
Some things can't be made up, but most things in this world can be made up.
"Then let's go out to eat." Qin Mengmeng said, "Let's go, both of you, whether it's a second-tier university or a junior college, I'll pay for your college tuition, study hard, and don't even think about working in a factory anymore."
Ma Chaoji hummed twice obediently.
This guy is what people usually call an honest man. He doesn't talk much and doesn't have any cunning ideas. His brain capacity doesn't support him to perform difficult operations. If someone is in charge of him, he will do whatever the boss says.
What about Lin Chaoying? She is much smarter, but she can also tell who is good to her and who is not. She is convinced by Qin Mengmeng from the bottom of her heart.
"Then what major should I choose in the future?" Lin Chaoying asked.
Qin Mengmeng said: "Report whatever you want."
Lin Chaoying said, "I'll apply for civil engineering."
She had no idea about civil engineering, she was simply worshipping Qin Mengmeng as a person.
But she didn’t expect that when the four adults heard her say that, they all screamed together: “Don’t do that!!! Don’t apply for civil engineering!!!”
Qin Mengmeng held Lin Chaoying's shoulders and said sadly: "Medicine, the Internet, and even metaphysics are all good, but no matter what, don't study architecture."
Zhang Sanri said: "I don't recommend studying law either. It's more about connections and you can easily end up in jail."
Wang Mianmian looked up at the sky helplessly: "Don't apply for mathematics. If you don't know how to do mathematics, you don't know how to do it."
Yu Jiuye looked around and said with a sigh, "Then... based on my experience, don't apply to the foreign language department."
Lin Chaoying: “…”
Lin Chaoying was dismissive of the failure experiences of the four adults.
After all, she has to create her own future.
These failed adults are just too hard to trust.
