Time flies by in late May. At this time, the sandy land contracted by Xiang Jin and the others has been fully planted with watermelons and cantaloupes, as well as grape vines, and new greenhouse vegetables have been established and are growing vigorously.
Fortunately, the watermelons and cantaloupes have already set fruit and will be ready for picking and selling in less than a month.
And their greenhouse vegetables have been officially sold for more than ten days continuously. Vegetables with short growth cycles, such as the white mushrooms and lettuce that Grandma Mo and the others grew before, and lettuce have been sold.
It has been on sale more than a month ago, and the king oyster mushrooms and coprinus mushrooms, which require a longer growth cycle, will probably be harvested next month.
This sandy land can not only grow watermelons and grapevines, but also vegetables, and mushrooms can also grow well here. This shows that their original choice to contract these dozens of acres of land was correct.
Because they knew that those houses were urgently needed for employees to live in, Aunt Liao's natal brothers did not hold them back. After learning that they did not use stones as foundations, but used steel-concrete ring beam structures, they immediately called ten people.
Several people dug holes.
So after the building materials were delivered one after another, they started pouring the ring beams directly. After the ring beams of one house were poured, they started pouring the ring beams of the second building.
By analogy, in a few days and ten days, the ring beams of seven or eight huts have been repaired.
Then they divided the dozen or so people into three construction echelons, and hired some nearby farmers as temporary workers. Three huts were built at the same time, and within a few days, they took up only a small area.
, but at the same time, a house with two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom can be built.
It was done, and then they started to build the next few buildings, so in less than two months, all the houses that Xiang Jin and the others needed were built, and everyone moved in one after another. Mo
Grandma and the others also moved there in mid-May.
So now everything is on track at the contracting site, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
After Xiang Jin and his school completed and verified the last round of relevant information files for this year's senior high school students, the students in each class began to commotion. For example, classmates left messages to each other, took photos, and
Just send each other photos or postcards, etc.
Looking at the large pile of photos he received in his hand, Lei Jia asked Xiang Jin, "When are you going to take pictures? How about we get together then? Then the two of us can take a few photos together."
?”
Xiang Jin said, "I don't plan to give away photos to anyone!"
Lei Jia came up to her and asked in a low voice, "Why, so many people are giving it to you, and others are also giving it to you?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't like taking pictures. My pictures are not photogenic and they don't look good!"
After hearing her answer, Lei Jia curled her lips with contempt. She didn't believe what she said.
As for her appearance, no matter how unphotogenic it is, it still looks better than the photos they took, right? From her point of view, she simply felt that there was no need to give photos to others, so she didn't want to take photos.
So she nodded, "Okay, if you don't want to give it to me, don't give it to me, but you have to take two pictures with me? Even if you don't appear on camera, you still have to take two pictures with me. I don't
I hate the bad photos you took!"
Xiang Jin asked, "Why?"
Lei Jia said, "Because you are my only good friend in this school! My good friends have graduated and will go their separate ways soon. I don't know if we can meet again in the future. We must take a group photo as a souvenir.
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, let's take a weekend then. We have a camera at home. I'll call my parents and ask them to bring it over when they come next time. Then we'll be there
Take some pictures on campus and I’ll give them to you after they’re washed!”
"Yeah, yeah," Lei Jia nodded vigorously and said to Jin, "But what you said just now is too pessimistic. What do you mean, you don't know if we can meet again in the future? As long as you think about it, we can definitely
See you in person.
Nowadays, transportation is not as convenient as in the past, and information is not available. Don't we have cars, trains, and planes now? We can also make phone calls, write letters, and surf the Internet. As long as we keep in touch for a long time, we can still meet if we want to.
Can you see me?"
Lei Jia said, "It's okay if it's close, but if it's too far apart, wouldn't it be inconvenient? First of all, it's expensive? How much do you think it costs to go back and forth? I still don't
A parasite is living off my mother and grandma. He is not as capable as you. He can receive high scholarships every semester. Alas, Xiang Jin, you said that if you passed the whole school in the final exam this time,
First, will the school still give you a scholarship?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "I guess it's gone. You've graduated from high school. What else can I give you?"
"Oh," the expression on Lei Jia's face dimmed a little.
Xiang Jin said, "But I don't care. The key is that I have to get into college and then go to college smoothly!"
Lei Jia then nodded again, "Yes, yes, yes, this is the most important thing. I have gone to college, who cares about the thousands of dollars? But you must be fine! You have the strength.
!
You see, no matter what test questions our school or class asks, you can get the first place in the school every time. Even the questions that Yan Chen mails to you every time, you can also give them.
Made exactly right.”
Xiang Jin said, "I don't know, I hope you have good luck!"
Lei Jia curled his lips and said, "No, you have to rely on luck, so what should we do?"
Xiang Jin said, "Strength is one thing, luck is another, and this should be taken seriously!"
Lei Jia said, "Okay, then I also hope that my luck will be better. Have you thought about which university you will apply for?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry about this. We'll make sure after the college entrance examination. It's too early to say anything now!"
"That's true," Lei Jia nodded.
The college entrance examination for Xiang Jin and the others this time is still the same as in previous years. It is scheduled for July 7th to July 9th, a total of three days. The location of the examination is in the county seat. There are two test sites. One is the county seat No. 1 Middle School.
, one is County No. 2 Middle School.
Time came to July 5th in a blink of an eye. The entire third grade of high school did not attend the night self-study that night. Instead, the school used it to arrange the last group class meeting for them, because they will have a group meeting tomorrow morning.
I took a bus to the county town to take the college entrance examination.
So tonight is the last night that all the teachers and students of the third grade of high school will spend in school, so after the last class in the afternoon, the class cadres of each class organized people to go to the supermarkets and grocery stores in the town to buy melon seeds.
With peanuts and other snacks and drinks.
At half past six, as the evening self-study bell rang, the collective class meeting of the entire third grade began immediately. Each class decorated its class with a brand new look, not only hanging colorful ribbons and balloons in the classroom,
Some even rented speakers and microphones in the town to create a very atmospheric atmosphere.
Xiang Jin's class also rented such a set of equipment. After everyone took their seats, the class teacher took the microphone from the host, the art committee member of their class, and then gave a brief graduation speech, followed by
He said, "Let's relax tonight. You can sing and dance if you want. It's up to you!"
"Oh..." Everyone was cheering, and then someone raised their hands and asked, "Teacher He, can we have some beer?"
After their teacher He was stunned for a few seconds, he then said in a very principled manner, "You can't drink beer, but you can drink drinks!"
After saying that, he handed the microphone to the literary and art committee member on the side, and then walked towards the boy who asked him the question. Then the boy had to obediently pick up a box of beer from under his desk and handed it to their class teacher.
Then the head teacher took the box of beer and put it at the front of the podium.
In order to adjust the atmosphere, the literary and art committee member took the lead in singing a song for everyone, and then people kept going up to perform, and there were also people below holding drinks cups and jumping up to others from time to time to clink glasses with them.
While Xiang Jin and Lei Jia were eating the snacks of melon seeds in front of them and enjoying the song and dance being performed in the center of the classroom in front of them, two boys came to them holding a cup and a bottle of drink.
In front of them, one of them said, "Two classmates, let's have a drink together?"
The two put down the snacks in their hands. Lei Jia picked up the drink cup in front of him and looked at Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin said, "I'm a little bloated today. I shouldn't drink this kind of carbonated drink. I'll drink what's in my cup."
Is water okay?”
The two of them were startled, then nodded, "Okay, okay!"
Xiang Jin picked up the water glass placed on his desk, then unscrewed the lid, and then lightly touched their drinking glasses, then covered his own water glass, and then the two left.
Go and clink glasses with the next person.
After the two of them were far away, Lei Jia came up to Xiang Jin and whispered to her, "Are you feeling sick in your stomach?"
Xiang Jin said, "No!"
Lei Jia asked, "Then why did you say that just now?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't like carbonated drinks."
Lei Jia glanced at the glass of Sprite in front of her. Sure enough, it didn't move, so she said, "Since you don't drink it, I'll drink it for you later, right?"
Xiang Jin glanced sideways at her, "Do you like carbonated drinks?"
Lei Jia nodded vigorously, "Ah, I always like it, especially the sour and sweet cold feeling when I drink it in my stomach. Let me tell you, my mother gives me pocket money every time.
I would buy a bottle of Sprite and keep it at home, and when I want to drink it, I would go back and drink it.”
Xiang Jin said, "I advise you to drink less carbonated drinks. Drinking too much of these drinks is not good for the body, because these drinks contain a lot of sugar and phosphoric acid, which can easily lead to obesity and obesity."
Osteoporosis is also prone to tooth damage and kidney stones."
Lei Jia looked at her in surprise and said, "Isn't it?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Why are you lying to me? Anyway, I never like to drink these. I usually drink plain water, or just soak a few pieces of fruit in plain water."
Seeing Xiang Jin's serious expression, Lei Jia looked deeply shocked, "Oh, it seems I have to drink less in the future!"
After the class meeting lasted for about forty minutes, no one came up to perform. Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing down there. The host seemed to be unable to host anymore, so he suggested playing a game.
.
Then some people below started yelling and asking what kind of game it was?
The host said, "Let's pass the paper cup. I'll pour half a cup of drink into this paper cup, and then starting from the first person here, everyone will throw a peanut into this paper cup. If it's passed to
Whoever is there, the peanuts he threw in caused the drink to overflow from the cup, can he go up and perform a show?"
Everyone thought this game was a bit interesting, so they all cheered and said, "Okay!" Their class teacher also stood on top with his arms folded and looked at everyone with a smile.
So the game started. By coincidence, when it was Xiang Jin's turn, the peanuts thrown in just made the drink overflow two drops from the paper cup, and then Xiang Jin was about to perform a show.
The whole class booed, and even Lei Jia beside him clapped his hands in anticipation.
Xiang Jin stood up and said openly to everyone, "Sorry, I can't sing or dance, so I'll just tell you a little joke."
Then there was another burst of "papapapa" slaps.
Xiang Jin started talking directly, "There was a little wolf cub who didn't like to eat meat when he was born. He only liked to eat vegetarian food. When his parents saw him like this, they were a little worried about him.
It is definitely not a good sign that a wolf does not like to eat meat but prefers to be vegetarian.
So its parents were very worried every day, but suddenly one day they saw their wolf cub running crazily after a rabbit, so its parents were very happy.
After a while, their wolf cubs caught the rabbit, and its parents were very happy and excited for it. Unexpectedly, before the two old wolves were happy, they heard that they
The wolf cub grabbed the rabbit and yelled at it: "Hand over the carrot! Don't mind if you don't say it well?" Xiang Jin sat down.
Then there was a burst of "haha" in the classroom, followed by another burst of "papa" slaps.
Lei Jia applauded and winked at her, "I didn't expect you to tell jokes?! Well done!"
Xiang Jin said, "It was a joke I saw a long time ago," but she didn't think it was very funny. It was just that she didn't know what kind of show to perform, so she casually picked up such a little joke.
Just make up the numbers.
The game continued, and then it was the turn of some more people. Because of Xiang Jin’s beginning, many of the people behind were telling jokes and stories, some were reciting poems, and some were talking about stand-up.
Cross talk.
Time passed like this one by one, and soon the second period of evening self-study was over, and their class meeting was coming to an end, because they had to go to town later to return speakers to others, and their class teacher was there.
After making some concluding remarks and blessings, he asked everyone to go back to rest early tonight, and then led several students in the class to carry the speaker out of the classroom.
As soon as their head teacher left, the whole classroom immediately became excited. Many people took out the books from their desks and threw them all over the classroom. Some people even started tearing them up.
Lei Jia was immediately shocked by their crazy behavior, "Are they crazy? Why tear up the book? Isn't it good to keep it and sell it for money?"
Xiang Jin smiled slightly, then took out the books, pens and ink from his desk, picked him up and walked out of the classroom, "I'm happy!"
"Hey, wait for me," Lei Jia hurriedly called her, and then quickly packed up.
Xiang Jin turned sideways and asked her, "Are you going back to the dormitory or going home?"
Lei Jia said, "I'll go back to the dormitory. My grandpa and my mother will come tomorrow morning to help me move my things."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, let's go together!"
As they were walking on the road, Lei Jia said to Xiang Jin, "When we arrive in the county tomorrow, will I share a room with you?"
Xiang Jin said, "I don't live with everyone, I live outside."
Lei Jia was a little surprised at once, "Ah, you don't live with us? Does Teacher He know?"
Xiang Jin said, "I know, I told Teacher He before that a sister-in-law from my aunt's mother-in-law's family teaches junior high school in the County No. 1 Middle School. Her husband is from the County Forestry Bureau, and their units are divided into separate units.
There is a house. When the time comes, my grandparents and I will live in the house assigned by the aunt's school. The house assigned by her school is directly opposite the County No. 1 Middle School. Teacher He agreed.
.”
Lei Jia was very envious and said, "That's very close. It is said that where we live is a bit far away. It takes about forty minutes to reach the County No. 1 Middle School by walking."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's indeed very close. It's only a few minutes away from the school gate, but I can't invite you to live together, because it's someone else's house, and we all live in other people's homes.
"
Lei Jia nodded, "Yes, I know! Don't worry, I just said that the place we live is a bit far from the school, but I have no other meaning. Hey, Xiang Jin, are you going alone tomorrow?
You said you want to take the bus there with us?"
Xiang Jin said, "Let's come together. My aunt will pick us up at your place of stay."
Lei Jia nodded, "Oh, that's it?!"
"Yeah! When I paid for the exam fee before, I paid for the bus fare for our family of three to the county town."
Lei Jia said, "I was not at school that day when you paid the exam fees. I asked for leave, so I didn't know. I even paid my own fees later."
Xiang Jin nodded slightly and said, "Oh, yes, you seemed to be sick that day and rested at home."
"that is!"
When she got home, Xiang Jin saw her grandparents packing things there, and then asked Xiang Jin, "Why did you take these out?"
Her grandma said, "When you live in someone else's house, you still have to bring some gifts to them. Although your Aunt Xiaoli's house is not usually occupied by people, she still accepts the family's affection."
Xiang Jin said, "I said before that I would live with everyone, but you didn't agree."
Her grandma said, "This is the college entrance examination. You can't be careless. Even if you don't live in their house, we will rent a house nearby for you to live in. At worst, we will give someone one month's rent and only live for two."
Three days.
You said you are allergic to alcohol, so what if someone with a bad heart pours a glass of high-strength liquor on you? So we should be more careful and vigilant.
Furthermore, we are not too worried about the food outside. What if there is a hygienic problem and we have diarrhea after eating?
My granddaughter usually studies so hard and her grades are so good. She must not make any mistakes in this college entrance examination. A little gift is nothing, and our family is not short of such gifts!"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, but grandma, I think the gift you prepared is a bit too heavy?"
Her grandma looked at her grandpa and asked, "Is it heavy?"
Xiang Jin and her grandfather nodded, "A little bit."
Her grandma looked at the gift bags in front of her and said, "Then let me get some?!"
Xiang Jin directly handed her a can of tea and two cans of milk powder, "Well, that's it. Aunt Xiaoli's husband probably wants to drink tea. If he doesn't drink it, we can keep it at home.
As for others, Aunt Xiaoli has a child at home, and these two cans of milk powder are just right.
As for your supplements like cordyceps and sea cucumbers, I think you can forget about them. They don’t look good when you hold them. You really want to express your gratitude to others sincerely.
Don't worry, this person won't be very grateful by then. Others still don't know why they are suspicious of my parents, so I think it's better to forget it. Don't you plan to wait for me to finish the college entrance examination and go to my aunt's place to grow vegetables in the greenhouse with them?
Then you can take it there to eat."
Her grandfather nodded, "I think what Xiaojin said makes sense, so just put it away and put it away. When we get to the county town tomorrow, we can buy some fruits and take them away."
After hearing this, Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "Okay, then I will listen to you two."
"You guys can clean it up here, I'll go back to the house to clean it up too," Xiang Jin picked up the pile of books she had placed on the dining table and turned around and walked to her room.
Her grandma waved her hand and said, "Go, go, don't forget to pack your admission ticket, right?"
"Know!"
When she got up the next morning, after breakfast, her grandma urged her again, "Check, check, have you brought all those things? Especially your admission ticket, stationery, pencils, ballpoint pens, and pens.
, compasses, rulers, set squares, erasers, etc., as well as water bottles, watches, how many sets of clothes did you bring?"
Xiang Jin opened her backpack and showed it to her grandma, "Hey, it's all here. Grandma, why do I feel that you are more nervous than me?"
Her grandma said, "After all, this is not our school. It's so far away. If we leave something behind, it's inconvenient to come back and get it, so we all have to check it before we leave?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, I have everything with me."
Her grandma saw that she put the admission ticket in the pencil case, so she frowned immediately, "You can't leave the admission ticket like this. When we get to the county town, let's buy a ribbon.
Tie it up and hang it around your neck. It will easily fall off if you put it in the pencil case like this."
"Okay!" He didn't refute her, but nodded in agreement.
Then her grandma asked her again, "How many sets of clothes have you brought? Should you bring a long-sleeved shirt? What if it rains?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, I brought two sets, including long-sleeved shirts, but you guys should also bring some clothes?"
Her grandma said, "You have brought them. Your grandfather and I each brought a set, and each of us also brought an extra long-sleeved shirt."
Xiang Jin zipped up his backpack again and said, "It's nothing, then we can set off. And if we go early, we can pick some good spots."
When Xiang Jin and his family of three arrived at the school gate, there was already a long queue of buses, and many people were already boarding the bus. Xiang Jin found the location of their class bus and greeted them.
She led her grandparents into the car.
After her grandparents greeted their class teacher, Any, and got on the bus, they had just taken their seats when someone asked, "Xiang Jin, are your grandparents also going to the county seat?"
"Ah," Xiang Jin responded casually.
Then I saw a girl from their class turned to Xiang Jin and said with an exaggerated and dark expression, "Isn't that right? Xiang Jin, your grandparents are going to accompany you for the exam? Xiang Jin's grandparents, you were accompanying me before."
The Crown Prince is studying, and now he is accompanying her to take the exam. If she goes to college in the future, will her grandparents also accompany her to college? Xiang Jin, your family is too used to doting on you.
!”
Xiang Jin and her grandparents naturally heard the sarcasm in the other girl's words, but the two old people did not care about her as a girl.
Seeing the ill-intentioned look from the other party, Xiang Jin would not let the other party take advantage of him, so he said, "Yeah, what's wrong with my grandparents accompanying me to study and take exams?
Is it okay if your family has this condition? No one will allow you to do this!"
"You?!" The other party's face suddenly turned ugly.
Xiang Jin said, "What are you talking about? Did I say something wrong? It's not like my grandparents didn't pay for getting on this bus, so why are you making sour remarks there?"
Besides, my grandparents are also elders who are different from you in the same generation. You don’t even understand some basic manners, and you are rude, sarcastic, and sarcastic. Who can get used to you?"
Seeing that many students in the car were looking towards them, the girl's face suddenly turned red. Then she glared at those students angrily and then turned around and sat down obediently.
