Hongxing Middle School does not have an examination room, and the senior high school entrance examination is taken at the five high schools in the city.

The school rented a bus to pick up the students, but when they got on the bus, they found that many third-grade students hadn't come.In the third grade of the entire school, almost a quarter of the students do not plan to take the senior high school entrance examination. Among those who take the high school entrance examination, some of them just take the examination and do not plan to continue their studies.

The classes of Song Jining and Ji Yu belonged to ordinary classes, and there were many students with poor grades. This time, more than a dozen people gave up the high school entrance examination. When asked about their plans, most of them would go home to farm or go to the south to work.After all, they are also classmates for three years. Song Jining tried to persuade a few classmates with better relationships to continue studying. After all, rural children like them can only hope to study.

Like Song Jining who planned to drop out of school at the beginning, they all have their own immature future plans, and they think these plans are great-although they are not much higher than Song Jining's dream of being a watch repairman.

Song Jining can only be thankful that his friends all decided to take the senior high school entrance examination under his persuasion, and at least aim at high school.

Of course, the happiest thing is still getting to know Ji Rafter.

Otherwise he would have set up a small table in the street as a watch repairman by now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help wrapping his arms around Ji Rafter's neck.

Ji Yu was reading a book with his head down, when he suddenly tilted his head, Song Jining grabbed his neck and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Song Jining took his book away: "Reading in the car is easy to damage your eyes. If you have nothing to do, just sleep for a while, and you will be there soon."

"En." Ji Yu agreed, adjusted his posture and leaned on Song Jining's shoulder, raised his eyes to see a few students outside the window, and sighed.

"What?" Song Jining asked.

"Didn't Wei Zhang have good grades? I persuaded him to take the senior high school entrance examination, but he said that he has relatives who work in southern construction sites and earn about five or six yuan a day, so he plans to pass next month."

Ji Zhuan also persuaded his classmates who planned to give up the high school entrance examination, but because his grades would definitely allow him to go to college, most people thought that he would not hurt his back when he stood up and talked.If they are sure to be admitted to university, they will definitely be able to study. If they fail to pass the exam, they will not waste time and money. A good student like Ji Chen cannot understand.

Song Jining patted Ji Yu: "Everyone has their own aspirations, as long as they feel good about themselves."

Ji Yu shook his head: "After ten years, no one will feel better."

There is nothing special about the senior high school entrance examination. To Ji Yu and Song Jining, it feels similar to every exam.After a period of intensive tutoring, the grades of the friends have improved by leaps and bounds. Although they wailed a few times when they answered the answers afterwards, they basically felt that they did well in the exam.

A few days later, the results of the senior high school entrance examination were announced. As expected, Ji Chen only deducted one or two points for each subject, and got a perfect score in mathematics.It's a pity that this is not the college entrance examination, otherwise his grades would have been reported.However, the province's top score in the senior high school entrance examination still caused quite a stir. The admissions offices of key high schools in various cities came to block people, and still offered various preferential conditions for free tuition and high scholarships.

Although Song Jining's grades are not as good as Ji Yu's, he has an average of about 85 points in each subject, which is also the enrollment goal of key high schools.But there is no such good condition as free tuition and scholarships, it is just ordinary enrollment.

Because they knew that the two of them would definitely go to the same high school, the two adults got together to discuss for a few days. Looking at the admissions brochure, they felt that which school was the best, and they couldn't make up their minds. In the end, they simply left it to the two to decide.

After thinking about it, Ji Yu and Song Jining chose No. [-] High School in Pubai City.Pubai City is the capital of the province, with the best urban construction and environment. As the first high school in Pubai City, No. [-] High School has a long history and strong teachers. After reading the introduction, Ji's family and Huang Yan were very satisfied.

However, the reason why Ji Chen chose No. [-] High School was because it was close to his grandpa's house, so he could spend more time with his grandpa and grandma on weekends. As for the condition that he and Song Jining be in the same class, that was by the way.Song Jining's grades are not bad, so he may not be able to be in the same class with him, the condition is just for insurance.

Song Jining was a little depressed, he didn't have the right to raise conditions at all, the attitude of these key high schools to him was "It's your honor that you can be admitted to our school", and to Ji Yu, it was "It's our honor that you are willing to study in our school", So if you want to go to the same school and class as Ji Zhuan, you have to rely on Ji Zhuan to provide conditions.

In the future, I must let others come to me.

Song Jining swore secretly.

Not to mention Song Jining and Ji Zhuan, the friends also did well in the exam, but just because they were good, a few of them passed the score line of the technical secondary school, and at the request of their families, they all changed to the technical secondary school.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Song, my dad said that high school doesn't mean you can't get into university. It's better to go to technical secondary school. There are job assignments. Even if you enter a factory, you can be a cadre. It's more useful than high school."

Although Song Jining was regretful, he couldn't force others to go to a certain school, so he just smiled and congratulated them: "It's okay, these schools are also very good, just don't forget to keep in touch in the future."

Some time before the high school entrance examination, both of them were exhausted and paralyzed in order to give Song Jining a surprise tutoring session. So after all the dust settled, Ji Yu and Song Jining lived a decadent life of sleeping until twelve o'clock every day.Occasionally, when he is free, Ji Yu will also go to the supply and marketing cooperative to accompany his father and watch TV news by the way.

In addition to the cliché meetings, the development in the south is one of the hot news. It is often reported that Hong Kong and Taiwan companies come to invest, or what domestic products are exported to Europe and the United States, and a certain region has made major breakthroughs in economic development.Occasionally, when the townspeople chatted, they gradually heard topics such as "working in the south".

The impact of reform and opening up has unconsciously blown into this remote town.

At noon that day, after eating lunch, Ji Chen went to deliver food to Ji Jianguo at work at the request of Li Shulan.Since the beginning of the summer vacation, the supply and marketing cooperative has been very lively every day. The children who have nothing to do like to come here to watch TV. They sit cross-legged on the ground, buy a popsicle and watch TV while licking. The feeling is so beautiful.

However, apart from children, the customers of the supply and marketing cooperatives are still poor.

Ji Zhuan handed the lunch box to his father, and asked him to eat at the back, and sat on the stool to help look at the counter.There were a lot of books piled up under the counter. Since there were no customers, Ji Jianguo took the books at home to read in his spare time.Before he knew it, Li Shulan's bookcase was almost finished by him, and he even borrowed the books bought by Ji Yu. He kept some books that he thought were good and liked under the counter, and occasionally took them out when he was free. Come out and look around.He has a lot of free time, and these books are almost destroyed by him.

Seeing Ji Chen picking up a book with a torn cover, Ji Jianguo said while eating: "I just wanted to tell you, I am tired of reading these books, I heard that there are used books for sale in the flower and bird market in the city, you turn around Help me buy a few copies back."

"I don't know what kind of book you want to read. If you want to buy a book, you should go by yourself. I will move it for you!"

Ji Jianguo thought for a while and agreed, and took half a day off the next day. He took Li Shulan and Ji Zhuan, and the family of three ran to the flower and bird market in the city to buy old books.

Ji Chen mainly reads technical books, old books are not suitable for him, and he loses interest after reading them.Li Shulan bought some historical and literary magazines, Ji Jianguo bought more than a dozen copies of "Story Club", and looked through other books, but couldn't find what he wanted.

Li Shulan saw that her husband was dissatisfied with today's harvest, so she asked him, "Jianguo, what book are you looking for?"

"I want to see if there are any books like "The Weakness of Human Nature" or "The Autobiography of Iacocca." Ji Jianguo scratched his head: "I think this kind of book is very good-looking, and I learned a lot, but there is too little. "

"How can you find this kind of economics and management books at second-hand bookstalls? You have to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy them."

A family of three transferred to Xinhua Bookstore and searched around the bookshelves of economics and management. Most of them were professional tomes, such as "Economics, Principles, Problems and Policies", "Macroeconomics", "Economic Principles and Problems" ", "Economics Paradox", "Economics Essays", "Social Problems Economics", "Economics Cases", the titles are daunting, and there is no light-hearted sketch like Ji Jianguo wants to read. books.

Li Shulan was not interested in these, flipped through them and put them back on the shelf, and asked Ji Jianguo, "How about it, which one do you want?"

Ji Jianguo took a copy of "Economic Essays". Some of the cases written in it were the kind he liked to read, but compared with foreign books, there were not many cases and they were more theoretical. understand things.And it costs 5 yuan a book, which is too expensive.

Ji Chen took the book away and went directly to the counter to pay.Ji Jianguo caught up and said, "Don't buy Yuanyuan randomly, I haven't decided yet, and it's so expensive..."

"It's okay, when I honor you, a book is nothing, I will buy you more and more expensive things in the future!" Ji Chen laughed.

Ji Jianguo accepted the book and patted Ji Zhuan's head: "I should be raising you now, and you don't need to honor me. We'll talk about it when I'm [-] or [-]."

Although he said so, he was obviously very happy, and he bought a plastic book cover to wrap the book.

After returning to the town, Ji Jianguo went to work with his son's filial piety book in his arms.

Usually, during the time period from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, there are no programs broadcast on the TV station, and even the children do not come. Therefore, during this time period, the supply and marketing cooperative is the most deserted.But this afternoon, the supply and marketing cooperative was surprisingly lively.There was a small truck parked in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, and several people were moving goods into it.

Ji Jianguo ran over and asked Sister Li at the door: "Sister Li, what are you doing?"

"What else can there be? The Purchasing Office is here to buy things!" It was obvious that they were buying new goods, but Sister Li was full of displeasure.She complained to Ji Jianguo: "Look, there are these unsellable things again. My warehouse is almost full. Where should I put them?"

As soon as Ji Jianguo looked at it, he immediately frowned and stepped forward to stop him: "Wait, take these things back, we don't want them."
