In the northeastern mountain village at the end of May, the night was a bit cold, both of them were wearing long sleeves, and the night sky was filled with bright stars.
The two sisters sat on chairs under the hawthorn tree, looking up at the night sky. The mountain breeze was a bit cool, taking away their sleepiness and exhaustion.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon, are you nervous?" Tong Ranhua asked.
"We have exams every day, and I am numb to them. I just focus on writing when I see the papers. I don't have time to be nervous at all."
Tong Ransong was still very nervous at the beginning. She was in a state of anxiety every day. She always felt that time was passing by day by day, and there were still many questions that she didn’t know. The more anxious she was, the worse the review effect was. It was a vicious cycle. It took a while.
Time adjustment is fine.
"Then what university are you planning to get into? Do you have a goal?" Tong Ranhua then asked.
"If my score is high, I can choose which university to go to. If my score is low, it won't matter which university I want to go to. I'll look at the estimated score at that time."
Tong Ransong didn't say what school she wanted to go to, but judging from her attitude, she probably already had a goal. She might be worried about not getting into the exam, so it wouldn't be good to tell her in advance.
She has always been cautious and never speaks out about things that she is not sure about. She waits for the outcome of the matter to be revealed directly.
"Remember to tell your family when something happens, otherwise we won't know what happened while you were at school. How often does that happen after school today?"
Tong Ranhua was insinuating, worried that her sister would be bullied at school.
Seeing her worry, Tong Ransong smiled and explained, "That's not true. I'm the top student in Rocket Class. Even people like Zhang Kai don't dare to bully me. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who can be bullied by others.
Temperament, sister, instead of worrying about me being bullied at school, you should worry about Xiao Ranyan. She is short and good at studying, so she is too easy to be targeted."
"So, you were targeted by your classmates when you were in junior high school?" Tong Ranhua was very perceptive.
Tong Ransong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "That was all in the past. They were all little brats in junior high school who were ignorant and formed cliques. When they got to high school, everyone worked hard to study.
Well, how can I have the time to do that?"
Thinking of how little Tong Ransong was isolated and targeted when she was in junior high school, Tong Ranhua felt very uncomfortable. She also blamed her for not paying more attention.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Tong Ransong sighed, "You're in high school, and you're not that smart. Just studying takes a lot of effort. Your parents are busy making money, getting up early and working late every day. It's so hard, and this little thing,
I don’t care about it, anyway, as long as I study well, the teacher will be on my side.”
She said it in such an understatement, but it must have been a difficult time for a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old child to be targeted by classmates, isolated, and had no friends but only study.
Tong Ranhua suddenly patted her on the shoulder with her hand and said boldly, "Whenever you encounter something in the future, remember to tell me. I'm taking care of myself at home now. Don't worry, I have plenty of time. If you encounter any problems, I'll give you some advice!"
Tong Ransong smiled and nodded.
"Since you agreed, tell me what's going on. I think you don't even want to do your homework?" Tong Ranhua asked directly.
Tong Ransong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How dare you wait for me here?"
Tong Ranhua had an expression like, yes, that’s it, “Just tell me.”
Tong Ransong was a little embarrassed. She tugged on her high ponytail and said, "That's right. I think the atmosphere at home is so good now. I can't believe it."
"Huh?" Tong Ranhua was a little confused.
"You see, before, my father always kept silent, and my mother didn't even have a smile on her face." Tong Ransong recalled.
"Every time I talk about how much I spent on what I did, who I went to borrow money from, and so on. Every time I give us living expenses, I have to say, don't lose the money. If you lose it, you won't have money to eat. Don't spend money indiscriminately.
Don’t be lavish, spend what you should spend and don’t spend what you shouldn’t.”
"I didn't say they did anything wrong. The situation in our family is like this, and it's not easy for my parents. We spent so much money studying, so they really have to calculate their words."
"I just felt that the atmosphere at home was very depressing when I came back. Especially after my father got sick, my mother would always cry. She wouldn't even say a few words before she started crying and felt aggrieved. I didn't dare to speak when I came back. I felt that I was more depressed at home than at school.
tired."
Tong Ransong changed his frown and said with a smile, "But when I came back this time, I found that my father was not as silent as before, and my mother also liked to laugh. Even little Ranyan seemed to be more lively. I
I just feel very happy.”
Tong Ranhua couldn't help but sigh, it was not because of the family's lack of money.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her family when her parents in her previous life received the news that she had passed away in a car accident.
She stood up and pulled Tong Ransong up, "Don't worry, when I'm home from now on, our family's situation will definitely get better and better! You and Xiao Ranyan should study hard, study for as long as you want, and study whatever major you want.
major."
"Sister, I want to go to Peking University." Tong Ransong lowered his voice and whispered. In the dark night, his eyes were bright, revealing his yearning for higher education and his ambition to see outside.
"come on!"
"I just told you one person, you have to keep it a secret for me." Tong Ransong asked worriedly.
Tong Ranhua made an OK gesture and asked her to go back to her homework.
In the dark night, Tong Ranhua walked in the courtyard and murmured, "Beijing University is such a lofty goal."
Their entire county was admitted to Peking University just five years ago and was in the same class as her. It was a sensation at the time!
Since my sister has this intention, she has to work hard no matter what.
She went back to the house, got the car keys, entered Xiaolan, and took advantage of the darkness to directly enter the secret realm.
The secret place has changed a lot now. The vegetable garden is still an acre of land and is very close to the Lotus Lake.
Downstream of Lotus Lake is a river. Ducks and white geese live on both sides of the river. The group of reed chickens is further away in the woods.
Five cows also made their home in the woods.
There are fruit trees near the cabin. Perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm, fruits are already hanging on the fruit trees.
Xiaotuanzi lives in a small wooden house.
That's right, for so many days, Xiaotuanzi rarely slept outside. Basically, he would go back to the secret place to rest at night when others weren't paying attention.
When he felt Tong Ranhua coming in, Xiaotuanzi immediately ran out happily.
"Ouch!"
Little spiritual planter, do you want to live here?
"I live at home."
Xiaotuanzi was visibly disappointed, his head drooped, and the whole dog had no energy.
Tong Ranhua bent down and picked it up, "You don't like living outside? Dahuang's wooden house is very big, you can live together."
