The college entrance examination is from July 7th to July 9th, and the school has a holiday on July 4th. Siya took the exam in the district and did not have to come back, but she was worried about Wuya, so she went home during the holiday.
Wuya saw her and said, "Fourth sister, if you don't stay there to review, what will you do when you come back?"
Si Ya never thought about reviewing. This college entrance examination relies on daily accumulation, and there is no use in cramming. But she also knows Wu Ya's temperament, so she didn't say this for fear of burdening her: "It's okay, I'll do it after lunch tomorrow.
It’s enough to take the car back and rest for an afternoon.”
Before Wuya could speak, Siya held her arm and said, "Fifth sister, what do you want to do with so much? Come on, let's go to the kitchen and see what delicious food dad has made?"
As for Li Guihua, Tian Dalin was worried about her previous performance, so he asked her to take Diandian and Niu Niu back to his hometown.
Because college entrance examination choices are now filled in before the exam, the couple planned to go to Sijiucheng after Siya and Wuya had finished their exams.
Tian Dalin looked at the two sisters and said with a smile: "Si Ya, I just killed a chicken and chopped up two chicken legs. You will get one for each of you later."
When Si Ya heard this, she immediately thought of the white chicken and Kung Pao chicken she had eaten in Sijiucheng: "Dad, have all the chicken been stewed? If not all the chicken has been stewed, let's braise the rest!"
Her father doesn't know how to make white chicken or kung pao chicken, so she can only lower her requirements. But when she goes to Sijiucheng after the exam, she will definitely eat to the fullest.
Tian Shao agreed to her, and he would take her to a restaurant after the exam. If she passed the exam, he would not only take her to the best restaurant, but also reward her with two hundred yuan. For the delicious food and reward, she must pass the exam to Sijiucheng. Of course, Wuya
Got the same promise.
Tian Dalin smiled and said: "Today's chicken is already in the pot. I will kill another chicken tomorrow morning and make your favorite chicken stew with potatoes."
Si Ya thought about his craftsmanship and said bluntly: "Dad, let uncle make this chicken stew with potatoes! Uncle makes it delicious."
Li Guihua's cooking skills are not very good, but Tian Dalin's cooking skills are worse than hers. But it's good if he is willing to cook. Nowadays, many men are unwilling to cook, saying that cooking is a woman's job.
The college entrance examination is about to take place the day after tomorrow, and since she hasn't been back for more than two months, Si Ya wants to eat something good. Normally, she would be too embarrassed to bother Uncle Li.
Tian Dalin smiled and said: "Okay, I will tell your uncle later. By the way, your eldest sister called yesterday and asked you two to call her back today. After dinner, I will take Wu Ya
Go to the post office!”
When the eldest daughter told her like this, something must have happened.
Si Ya hesitated and said, "Dad, why did eldest sister call you?"
Tian Dalin guessed that he wanted to ease Wu Ya's heart. Among the six children in the family, this girl has the worst psychological quality, while Si Ya has the best psychological quality. Tian Shao and Liu Ya are not worried about their academic performance, but Si Ya's mentality
Well, she felt that after doing her best, the rest would be left to God to decide. The only one who made everyone worried was the fifth child. But she couldn’t say this, otherwise the fifth child would be even more nervous.
Tian Dalin smiled and said, "I should tell you what you need to pay attention to in the college entrance examination, and then cheer you up."
Upon hearing this, Si Ya immediately said: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for more than a year. I miss her very much, and I don't know if she misses me."
Last summer she couldn't go because she had to make up classes, but she thought she could stay there as long as she got admitted to the Forty-Nine City. She could bear the thought. Well, she had to get into the Forty-Nine City. Otherwise, those delicious food would just be
I can eat it in my dream.
After dinner, the father and daughter went to the post office. Tian Shao was at home, and when the operator connected the phone, she heard her voice.
Si Ya spoke to Tian Shao first: "Sister, I miss you, do you miss me?"
Tian Shao did not answer her words, but said: "I know there are two newly opened restaurants, one with Sichuan cuisine and one with Cantonese cuisine. They both taste very good."
"Sister, when we get to Sijiu City, will you take us there?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "When the results come out, you can go if you pass the exam. If there are restaurants you want to go to, I can take you there. But if you don't pass the exam, just go to work."
Si Ya immediately said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely pass the exam."
She worked hard for delicious food.
Tian Shao knew that she had a good psychological quality, so he didn't say anything about taking the test seriously: "Wu Ya is with you, right? Give Wu Ya the phone and I'll talk to him."
Si Ya reminded: "Sister, Fifth Sister, she immediately recited an ancient poem before eating."
Her words told Tian Shao not to raise the exam, so as to save Wuya from having to bear a heavier burden. Over the years, she knew Wuya's situation very well. She was very nervous every time she took the exam. The more important the exam, the more nervous she was. Remember the high school entrance exam
She was so worried that she couldn't sleep before.
Tian Shao was worried that Wuya would be too nervous and affect his performance, so he made the call. She hummed and said, "I know, give the phone to Wuya."
"good."
Wuya answered the phone, and because she was so nervous, she stuttered when she shouted: "Big, big sister..."
Si Ya Fu's forehead, it's like this before the exam, what will you do when you get to the exam room!
Tian Shao didn't tell Wu Ya about the college entrance examination. She smiled and said, "Your third sister opened two clothing stores in Sijiucheng. Did my mother tell you about this?"
Wu Ya hummed and said, "Yes, Mom said that people in Sijiu City are willing to give up. The money earned by Sanjie's two stores is much more than the store at home."
"Your third sister's two clothing stores make a combined profit of thousands each month. Now a newly assigned college student joins a work unit or factory, and his monthly salary is around seventy or eighty yuan."
Wu Ya was stunned. What did the eldest sister mean by these words? Is it better to be a college student than to do business? But the eldest sister has always encouraged them to go to college!
When Tian Shao saw that she was silent, he continued: "Your Sangui cousin is working in Hong Kong City, with a salary of about 15,000 yuan a year plus bonus. This kind of salary is not available in the mainland. You should know the situation of your Sangui cousin
, he never entered school, but I forced him to go to night school for two years before he became blind."
The 15,000 yuan here refers to soft money, not Hong Kong dollars. If it were Hong Kong dollars, it would be uneconomical. This income is definitely among the high-income people in the mainland.
Wuya was surprised. She didn't expect that Sankui's cousin's salary would be so high.
Tian Shao said: "Wu Ya, I say this because I hope you understand that going to university is not the only way out. After being admitted to university, you can systematically learn professional knowledge in school and get to know more outstanding people, and you can learn more about it in the future.
Avoid taking some detours; but if you don't get into college, as long as you work harder, your future achievements will not be worse than those of college students. Let's not talk about Sanya, let's talk about your cousin Sankui. How many college students can compare with him?"
For many children in rural areas, studying is indeed the only way out. But this is not the case for Wuya. If you fail to pass the exam, there are other options.
Wuya was silent for a long time and then said: "Sister, I'm afraid of disappointing you and my parents."
Tian Shao laughed and said, "You have worked hard and tried your best. Sister will not be disappointed."
Wuya understood and said softly: "I understand, thank you, eldest sister."
