Many people in Caojiazhuang are looking forward to the completion of this swimming pool as soon as possible. They also want to play there and soak in the water to relieve the heat.
In this damn weather, the temperature is getting higher and higher, making it unbearably hot.
Caojiazhuang has not yet reached the point where every household has air conditioners installed.
And for most elderly people, even if the air conditioner is installed, they are not willing to turn it on.
One is reluctant to bear the electricity bill, and the other is having the air conditioner running for a long time is also a burden on their bodies.
But at this time, there are also people who are waiting for their children’s college entrance examination results.
The same is true for the Cao Jianlong family.
His daughter Cao Shuli's score in the college entrance examination this year was pretty good, with a score of 563. When this result came out, even Cao Shuli herself was surprised. According to her usual test scores, her performance this time was considered extraordinary.
His father Cao Jianlong and mother Zhuang Yonghua even cried with joy.
They really didn't expect their daughter to do so well in the exam this year.
When they heard the scores last month, both Cao Jianlong and Zhuang Yonghua felt that happiness came too quickly.
According to Cao Jianlong's intention, two tables should be set up to celebrate.
But Zhuang Yonghua disagreed.
As a mother, she felt that her daughter had not finished applying for college and had not received the college admission notice. There were still many uncertainties in this matter. The banquet must be laid, but she should not rush it.
So she waited until she registered for the college entrance examination. After much deliberation, Cao Shuli finally applied for Anyi University of Technology.
This school is considered a very good school among Dongshan Provincial Science Schools.
Moreover, based on the admission scores of previous years, his daughter’s college entrance examination score of 563 points is also very certain.
Apart from this, Anyi City is not too far from Yiling City, only more than 200 kilometers away. It would be convenient for his daughter to come back, or for the couple to visit her.
Even thinking about the long term, if his daughter works locally in Anyi City after graduating from college, it will not be too far away to find a partner, thus avoiding the worry of marrying far away.
While Caojiazhuang was developing steadily every day, Cao Jianlong became more and more anxious day by day looking forward to the results of his daughter's college application.
He is always thinking, why is there still no result?
He finally made it to July 15th. On this day, his daughter Cao Shuli suddenly said: "Dad, you can check the college entrance examination admission results."
When Cao Jianlong heard this, he happily asked: "How to check?"
"You need to use a computer to search online." Cao Shuli said.
"Or call, but I tried calling just now, and it showed that the line was always busy and I couldn't get through at all." Cao Shuli was also very anxious.
This year she performed exceptionally well and got high scores, making her the pride of Pingyuan County No. 2 Middle School.
But there was no college entrance examination admission result, and she was worried.
After learning that it was now possible to check the admission results, Cao Shuli was more positive than anyone else.
Cao Jianlong heard that he couldn't make a phone call, but they didn't have a computer at home.
But he knew whose family had it. Thinking of this, Cao Jianlong said to his daughter: "Shuli, let's go with me to your brother Jie's house to check."
Cao Shuli is very familiar with Cao Shujie.
Hearing what her father said, Cao Shuli quickly took her candidate number and ID card and followed her father to Cao Shujie's place.
When the father and daughter went out, Zhuang Yonghua was still shouting from behind: "If the results come out, please give me a call."
"Okay!" Cao Shuli responded from behind.
Not long after, Cao Jianlong took his daughter to Cao Shujie's house on an electric bike.
As soon as he entered the door, Cao Jianlong shouted: "Is Shujie at home?"
"Uncle Long, why are you here? It's so hot outside. Come inside and cool down."
Saying this, Cao Shujie saw Cao Shuli behind Cao Jianlong again: "Lili is here too. Come in and sit down quickly. Let's eat some watermelon first."
Cao Shujie then called his wife Cheng Xiaolin: "Honey, Uncle Long and Sister Lili are here. You cut a watermelon."
"Okay." Cheng Xiaolin came down from the second floor and saw Cao Jianlong and Cao Shuli, father and daughter, and she also said hello.
Cao Jianlong was a little embarrassed at the moment, feeling that he had caused a lot of trouble to Cao Shujie, but when he thought that he could check his daughter's college entrance examination admission results today, he thought about inviting Shujie to have a meal alone some other time.
"Uncle Long, do you have something to do with me?" Cao Shujie asked him.
When he saw Cao Shuli, Cao Shujie remembered another thing. He also asked Cao Shuli: "Lili, I forgot to ask, have your college entrance examination results come out? How did you do in the exam?"
"Brother Jie, thanks to you sending us to take the exam and taking us to eat well and stay in a hotel, I performed exceptionally this time and scored 563 points." Cao Shuli expressed her gratitude to Cao Shujie.
She is serious.
In addition to her taking the college entrance examination, there were four other people in Caojiazhuang.
They are Gao Fei, Cao Shusheng, Cao Xinru and Cao Yuqing.
She still remembers that it was Cao Shujie who drove the five of them to the county examination center in his GL8.
That was also the first time for Cao Shuli to ride in such a good car.
Moreover, after Cao Shujie took them to the county, their food and rest were well arranged. At least they didn't have any worries in these two aspects.
After they finished the exam in the morning, Cao Shujie took them to the hotel to rest at noon and eat a nutritious lunch. In this aspect, the five of them had never worried about it.
Cao Shujie didn't care about those little things, but when he heard Cao Shuli say that she got 563 points in the test, he still had a look of surprise on his face: "Lili, you did well in the test."
"With a score of 563, can you go to a key university in our province?" Cao Shujie asked her.
It has been many years since he graduated from college, and he is not familiar with the current situation.
Hearing Cao Shujie's question, Cao Shuli still hesitated: "Brother Jie, I'm not sure either. You also know that the admission scores in our province are relatively high. I followed my dad to your house because I also wanted to use your computer to check me.
of university admissions.”
It turns out that this is what happened. Before Cao Shujie could agree, Cheng Xiaolin, who was busy cutting watermelon in the kitchen, said quickly: "Lili, why didn't you tell me earlier? Go upstairs and check. My computer is not turned off yet.
"
"Shujie, take Lili up to check."
Afraid that Cao Shuli would not be able to operate their computer, Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband to take Lili with her.
Cao Jianlong said at this time: "Shujie, I thought I didn't have a computer at home, so I didn't buy one. I came here today to cause trouble for you."
Forget about him, not many families in Caojiazhuang can buy computers at this time.
For many families, this thing is simply out of reach, and some branded computers are also very expensive.
Cao Shujie also understood this, and he didn't care: "Lili, come upstairs with me to check and see if you have been admitted?"
Cao Shujie was walking in front, and he said as he walked: "But I think with your score of over 560, there will be no problem in admission."
"By the way, have the results of Gao Fei and the others come out?" Cao Shujie also thought of the other four people who went to take the college entrance examination together.
Cao Shuli shook her head: "Brother Jie, the results are released at different times for each school, and I'm not very sure."
As they talked, they had arrived on the second floor, and Cao Jianlong followed them.
Seeing the computer in the small room on the second floor, Cao Shujie said to them: "Lili, the computer is on, can you use it?"
"Brother Jie, I know how to use it." Cao Shuli said.
"I won't teach you if you know how to use it. Do you know how to check it?"
Cao Shuli knew, she said: "Which school we are applying to, just check the official website. I have brought all my personal information."
As she spoke, Cao Shuli skillfully opened the browser on her computer desktop, then entered Anyi University of Science and Technology, found the college entrance examination admission results page, and began to enter her information according to the prompts.
While she was busy checking the results, Cao Shujie complained about Cao Jianlong, why didn't she tell him earlier?
"Uncle Long, it's really interesting that you kept hiding the fact that my sister's test scores were so good. Are you trying to hide her big move?" Cao Shujie nagged him.
Cao Jianlong was a little embarrassed to be told, and he said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but your aunt feels that the college entrance examination admission results haven't been released yet, and there are too many variables, so she won't let you talk."
"Oh, my aunt is just too cautious. My sister Lili scored more than 560 points in the exam. I guess this is the highest score in our village, right?" Cao Shujie muttered.
"Yes, I heard from Lili that this was the highest score among the five of them. The other one, Gao Fei, seemed to have scored more than 500 points. I didn't ask the specific score," Cao Jianlong said.
Cao Shujie said: "They are the first batch in our village to catch up with the policy. If the results come out, we will honor them as promised at the time."
Cao Shujie held a meeting with the village in early March this year and said at that time that if any child in the village got admitted to the undergraduate program, he would be rewarded with 2,000 yuan.
If you are admitted to graduate school, you will be rewarded 5,000 yuan.
As for junior college, there are no rewards.
The purpose of this policy was to encourage children in the village to study hard, strive for good grades, and have a good starting point for their future lives.
As for admission to junior college with a score of 200, the village committee held a meeting to study it, and there was really no need for rewards.
The two of them were chatting when they suddenly heard Cao Shuli cheering happily: "Dad, look, I'm admitted."
Cao Jianlong was still a little unable to react, but Cao Shujie was already congratulating her.
"Uncle Long, congratulations!" Cao Shujie put his hands together and made fists.
He said: "Uncle Long, it's time to have a banquet."
"This time the village committee held a banquet to congratulate Lili," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianlong was about to say that there was no need, but Cao Shujie had already said: "I remember that Anyi University of Science and Technology is also a key university. We had agreed at the beginning that whoever can get into a key university, the village committee would hold a banquet to celebrate him
.”
"I'm not trying to flatter you, Uncle Long." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
Cao Jianlong was even amused by him.
But Cao Jianlong also mentioned: "Otherwise, wait until the results of the four of them come out, and arrange them together instead of separately."
After hearing Cao Jianlong's suggestion, Cao Shujie thought about it and thought it would work.
He said: "Then let's wait a little longer. We only have a few days anyway."
