Go back to the year of the high school entrance examination

The temperature is getting higher day by day. The summer in County Z is getting hotter year after year. Ji Shi is lying on a bamboo deck chair, taking advantage of the wind passing through the aisle to relieve the heat. He is holding a novel in his hand, but he will not read it yet. , was chatting with Yao Meng and the others about admission.

Volunteers have been filling in the report for a while, and now they are looking forward to hearing news every day.

Although stability should be stable, before the admission notice came, they were unavoidably a little apprehensive.

"Ji Shi, you make up lessons and work every day, isn't it boring?" Yao Meng asked. He was actually quite boring in Haishi. know where to go.

"Not boring." Ji Shi replied, "I read a few books."

"You won't relax even during the holidays." Yao Meng said, "Then I'll go find a book to read."

After chatting with Yao Meng on QQ, Ji Shi continued to read novels. He did not have any entertainment activities at home, but he was not as boring as other people imagined. It is not a problem to have some fun. He studied a few books related to universities, I was addicted to it directly, because there were indeed many knowledge points that he couldn't understand for the time being, but it also aroused his desire to challenge.

All in all, during the summer vacation of the year of high school graduation, it is quite safe to be able to settle down and do some study-related things with peace of mind.

"I read books at home all the time!"

A passing neighbor greeted Ji Shi, and Ji Shi replied and continued to do his own thing.

His only worry now is that the traffic is too expensive. Sometimes it will be troublesome to search for knowledge points and the like, but now the price of installing broadband to buy a computer is not low. Do not accept.

……

After staying at home for a while, Ji Shi received a call from the old donkey.

After he graduated, he spent more time on the phone with the old donkey than in the entire three years of high school. The main reason is that the information on his side is still relatively closed, and many news have to be passed on by the old donkey. Ji Shi is not the kind of person who is good at dealing with people. Xu Liang seems to have added a lot of students who went to Qingjing this year, but Ji Shi still hangs around at home.

"This year's admission letter from Peking University has arrived in the county. Are you and your parents at home tomorrow?"

"Yes." Ji Shi said.

"Then you wait at home tomorrow morning, when the post office will deliver the admission letter to you, there may be people from the TV station there."

After the old donkey hung up, a new number was called to Ji Shi's cell phone. The other party claimed to be a person from Z county TV station, and confirmed the time with Ji Shi again.

Ji Shi hadn't encountered such a big battle yet, and when Ji's father and mother came back from the field, he told them the news.

"Then do I have to buy a new dress?" Ji's father thought of this first thing, "Your mother should buy one too, otherwise wouldn't it be ugly for people to take pictures?"

Ji Shi: "...it doesn't matter."

At home during the summer vacation, he swayed around in slippers every day, his T-shirt was old, and he didn’t bother to take care of his hair when it grew. It can be said that he has no image at all.

Anyway, he is not a handsome guy himself, so it doesn't matter what he wears.

But Ji's father still took Ji's mother to buy clothes. Ji Shi didn't stop him. His father is better. His mother is a typical example of a set of clothes that can be worn for decades. She is very economical. It is a good thing to be able to take the initiative to buy clothes .

Ji Shi is also very clear that his parents' idea is that they don't want to lose him. It doesn't matter what he wears at home. Anyway, the neighbors and relatives know each other, but he has to maintain his image in front of outsiders.

Father Ji was very excited: "Is there really a TV station coming?"

"When the TV station came, it wasn't to film you." Mama Ji patted him, "Don't be merry."

But Dad Ji still couldn't stop the smile on his face.

From the day when the time came, he was happy all day long. Even though the work in the field was hot and tiring, he had hope in his heart when he worked, and he didn't feel bitter at all.

The past half month has been like a dream.

Now that Ji Shi's admission letter was finally coming, and the matter of the college entrance examination was finally settled, he also felt at ease.

No one in the village said that their field work was delayed this year. Everyone said that it was worthwhile for him and Ji Ma to rent a house in the county. Everyone on the Internet praised him for teaching children, and asked him how he usually educates children.

But only Ji's father knew that Ji Shi's study was all on his own, and he didn't help at all.

……

When he and Mama Ji came back from shopping for clothes, it was already dark. Although they bought clothes, Papa Ji still didn't forget to bring some dried chicken legs for Ji Shi. He told Ji Shi to eat less junk food, but he knew that Ji Shi When he likes to eat, he will always bring some back along the way.

The motorcycle drove all the way to the door of the house. Compared with the buildings built by the neighbors and the houses with brand-new tiles, Ji's father slowed down, and suddenly said: "Our house looks quite broken."

Mama Ji couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "I've lived here for decades, how could it not be broken?"

Ji's father's thinking has diverged a bit here. He thought that there will be a reporter coming tomorrow. What will people think when they see their house compared with other people's houses?Doesn't it mean that the parents are not working hard?

Father Ji began to struggle again.

The main reason is that the exterior is broken, and the interior is also paved with stone slabs. It seems that the houses in the village have been replaced by tiles in the past two years. It is clean when stepped on. The room is also painted with large white walls. It looks clean and bright, unlike their house. , The wall skin is a little peeled off.

He also wanted to build it. Who wouldn't want to live in a new house?The problem is very simple, just one word - money.

Ji's mother didn't say much, and Ji's father's concerns were also hers. The two didn't say much in front of Ji Shi, but when they were tired from work, they settled accounts while drinking water in the field. What is the price of cement? What is the price of yellow sand, and what is the price of labor for workers? After careful calculation, even 10 yuan can't solve it.

Mainly there is also a comparison.

Aunt Ji Shi bought a small building with a façade in the next town a few years ago and spent a total of 14. At that time, they thought this price was already sky-high, but now, this price is not enough for their house. It's not enough, I need to post some more.

Rural people always calculate money to the extreme when they calculate accounts, but they often suffer losses because of careful calculation.

"Brother-in-law and the others wanted to buy a house at the crossroads many years ago. At that time, it was a house for an agricultural machinery factory. They just needed to put some more stickers on it. But the old woman in their family thought it was expensive, so they went home. Now their house is sold to I can't live either."

The house of my aunt's house is located in a very remote place. At that time, my uncle was working in an agricultural machinery factory and bought a house at a discounted price. They didn't buy it. After returning home, the population of their group was smaller than that of Ji Shi's family. Those who went out to work went to work. Those who live in the town go to the town, but they don’t come back several times a year. As a result, their homes become more and more desolate, with no one around, and people living in such places are still afraid.

Sometimes it is just a mistake, in order to save some money, the loss will be greater in the future.

"Now the labor cost has risen, and if there is no 120, less than one worker will be hired a day." Ji Ma whispered.

When Ji Shi was young, the price they hired for a temporary worker was 80 yuan a day. In a few years, it has risen to 120. The cost of bricklayers and carpenters will only be higher.

So now is the best time to build a house. The more delays, the more expensive it will be. The second aunt's house was built two years earlier than theirs, and the price is basically within 10 yuan.

Papa Ji also understands.

"Don't say this in front of Shi Shi." He told Ji Ma softly, "Otherwise he won't dare to spend money when he goes to Beijing."

Children of this age have the strongest vanity. When Ji Shi went to Z Middle School, he had already been shocked once, otherwise he would not have thought about buying brand-name clothes. Although Ji's father has never been to Beijing, he also knows that Beijing The prosperity of the city is definitely not comparable to that of a small county like Z County.

He planned to give Ji Shi a little more pocket money, otherwise the child would definitely feel inferior if he had no money in college. Ji's father would rather suffer himself than his child.

Anyway, they live a simple life at home, and there is nothing to spend money on.

Dinner is very simple at home, just rice and loofah soup. The rice is freshly cooked hot rice, and the loofah soup is served at noon. It is especially refreshing when eaten cold.

Thinking of someone coming to the door tomorrow, Ji's father felt a little nervous. Ji Shi was fine, he was not nervous, but he had embarrassment, because he had too many similar experiences recently, and he was afraid.

But the admission letter came to his door, which meant that everything was going smoothly, and it meant that he was about to start his college life. Although he didn't know where his future would be, at least, he had achieved his goal of returning to that time—— Make up for the regrets of youth, so that I no longer regret it.

To work hard bit by bit, to accumulate bit by bit, and to reap bit by bit, Ji Shi thought it was good. Before that, he never knew that he could reach such a high place with his hard work. It's even better.

Ji Shi told his friends about receiving the admission notice tomorrow.

"I've known it for a long time." Zeng Tairan sent a smiling expression, "Every year, the first admission notice from County Z is either Qing University or Beijing University. Last year it seemed to be Qing University."

"I'm also very worried. Now that Ji Shi's notice has arrived, it means that ours is coming soon."

Huang Yaqiong posted several emoticons in a row, but after the college entrance examination, she became the most active person in the group.

After the completion of the voluntary application form, major colleges and universities have also successively released the admission scores for this year in Jiangsu Province. In terms of science, the admission score for Jin University is 397. It doesn’t matter whether Zhou Weile or Huang Yaqiong apply. It is very dangerous for Jinhang to score 388. Yes, but Jinghang University's line in Jiangsu Province is 391 points, which is enough for him, but he didn't dare to take risks. After all, Jinghang is still better than Jinhang.

The score line of Zhijiang University this year can be said to be eye-catching. According to the previous score line and the domestic ranking of Zhijiang University, students with a score of around 390 dare not enter this prestigious school. As a result, Zhijiang’s science score in Jiangsu Province is only 375. point.

The scores of the major universities in Hai City are also very high. The score of Haida University is 414, and that of Jiaotong University is 410. They are almost able to catch up with Tsinghua University. Suzhou Province has the highest admission score.

I have to say that although the high scores of this year's college entrance examination are much lower than last year's, there are quite a few students with a score of around 400. In addition, colleges in the province and Haizhou have always been popular with students in Jiangsu Province, so the admission line is particularly tight.

For example, Jinling University of Technology is a very good 211 university in the province, but its admission line in Jiangsu Province is higher than that of Beijing University of Technology. The latter is 985 plus 211, which is difficult for students from other provinces to understand. But in Jiangsu Province, this is the norm. This year, Jinling Institute of Technology's science line in Suzhou Province is higher than that of Wuhan University.

So Huang Yaqiong's score is more than enough for Shang Zhijiang.

She should also go home after graduation. If she takes the exam, she should have more chances than colleges in the province. With her scores, it may be more dangerous to go to the East University in the province. This year is considered lucky. After all, no matter what How should I put it, Zhijiang's reputation is there.

Yao Meng also surpassed the admission threshold of Jiaotong University, and Zeng Tairan can also go to the university he wants to go to. Although the admission letter has not yet arrived, as long as there is no unexpected situation, they will definitely be able to go to the university of their first choice. .

"Congratulations, Ji Shi!"
