As soon as the final exam was over, Tian Shao returned to the city without waiting for the results to come out. The students who had bought tickets also packed up and went home, while those who were far away or who were short of money stayed behind.
Bao Yiqiu and Mu Ningzhen were both planning to go back, but their tickets were for ten days' time. The house was too crowded and they subconsciously wanted to get home later.
Three days later, the final results came out.
Mu Ningzhen got the transcript and found that Tian Shao was ranked eleventh. She said with some worry: "Last time, Xiao Shao ranked eighth. Some people in the class said that her college entrance examination results did not live up to the name. Now she has dropped to tenth.
One, those small-minded people are secretly criticizing Xiao Shao again."
Bao Yiqiu said with a smile: "Xiao Shao didn't touch any books except during class time. To be honest, we can't compare. We basically study during holidays and extracurricular time, and we still rank behind thirty."
The Department of Economics is divided into two classes, but the rankings are ranked together. Bao Yiqiu is ranked thirty-sixth, and Mu Ningzhen is still shy of forty-three. When I followed up the school, the rankings were almost the same.
Mu Ningzhen smiled and said: "It's really incomparable."
Bao Yiqiu felt that Tian Shao was so busy every day and had lofty ambitions that he would not care about these rumors.
Mu Ningzhen thought of Tian Shao and couldn't help but said with envy: "Yiqiu, have you noticed that Xiao Shao is getting more and more beautiful? His skin is white and tender, and feels as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.
."
Bao Yiqiu knew what she was going to say and said, "That skin care product is too expensive, we can't afford it."
Mu Ningzhen said with some sigh: "We are students and can't afford it now, and we still can't afford it when we get a job with that salary. Yiqiu, after we join the workforce, we still have to find ways to make money."
Relying on salary, you can’t even afford a better set of skin care products for tens of dollars a month. It’s really meaningless.
Bao Yiqiu glanced at her and said: "I will be so busy after work, how can I have time to make extra money? And when I get married, I will have to take care of the children and do housework in addition to work, so I will not be able to do all the work."
Mu Ningzhen knew she would say this: "I mentioned it to Xiao Shao before, and she said that very few people are good at learning English now. After we learn it, we can help others translate documents while working. As for the children who do housework,
You can ask your mother to take care of you when the time comes. If your mother doesn't come, please hire a reliable person from your hometown."
Because they compiled such a brochure on preventing fraud and abduction, both Mu Ningzhen and Bao Yiqiu had a shadow of the nanny. Unless they knew the details, they would not dare to use it.
"translate a file?"
Mu Ningzhen said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Shao said that one is also very promising. And as long as it is not urgently needed, you can take it home for translation. Yiqiu, we can't just rely on the salary to live, otherwise we won't even go to the restaurant
All the money is gone.”
With Tian Shao as a role model, Mu Ningzhen's thoughts have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Bao Yiqiu felt that what she said was reasonable and decided to continue working on English.
Tian Shao wanted to wait for Pei Yue to go back together, so he bought the tickets on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. After they bought the tickets, Mr. Hu said to them: "You guys have gone, there is no point in me staying here alone. Tomorrow
I will go back to my hometown."
Tian Shao asked: "Grandpa Hu, there aren't many people in your hometown anymore, so why don't you come back with us to celebrate the New Year!"
Mr. Hu frowned and said: "If I go to your house and take a train for three days and a bus for one day, my old bones will fall apart. You don't have to worry about me. My eldest nephew can't starve me in the village. He called me several times before.
I went to his house to eat, but I didn’t want to go because it was troublesome. I just went to his house to eat for a month during the Chinese New Year!”
If you say it's just for free, you'll definitely get money and food, so you can't take advantage of this. But my nephew is nice, but he doesn't feel comfortable staying here. Not only does Uncle Zhao, an old man, nag him, but Sankui is also very obedient and obeys his orders and never goes east or west.
, so he came back after the year.
When Tian Shao heard this, he said: "Okay, I will take you back to your hometown with Sankui tomorrow."
"No, I'll go back by myself."
Tian Shao was worried. Although the old man was full of energy, he was old after all, and he would definitely have to be followed by someone when he traveled far away.
Mr. Hu felt happy, but he knew that Tian Shao had a lot of things to do and didn't want her to run around so hard: "Don't send her away. If you are worried, just ask Sankui to send me back."
Tian Shao readily agreed, and then took Sanya to the department store and Xiushui Street in the afternoon to buy many things.
When Mr. Hu set out, he saw what Sankui was carrying and laughed and cursed: "It only takes two days to go back and forth, what are you doing with both a luggage bag and a box?"
Sankui said with a smile: "Sister told me to go to Jin City to buy some specialties. I have been out for a year, so I want to buy some things that I don't have at home to make my parents happy."
Nowadays, transportation is not as convenient as in later generations. Many things in the north and relatively remote places in the south have never been seen, let alone eaten.
Because Sankui looked relaxed when carrying the box, Mr. Hu only thought that it contained the daily necessities for the two of them. However, when he returned to his hometown and saw Sankui opening the box, he realized that he was wrong. It was full of food.
There are also three pieces of cloth, namely red, blue and light green.
The old man had three nephews in total, but apart from that, the other two had no relationship with him when something happened to him. Therefore, the old man gave the food and half of the fabrics to the eldest nephew.
Although the policy has been relaxed now, only small items such as vegetables and eggs can be bought and sold freely. Meats, grains, oilcloths, etc. still require tickets. However, the few pieces of materials Tian Shaorang brought back cannot be sold in the city.
.
Mr. Hu's eldest niece was so happy that she got these three pieces of cloth. Her daughter will get married in the spring next year. These three pieces of cloth were given to her as a pillow because she was sleeping, which solved her urgent need. Moreover, each piece of cloth is very big, and the rest are given to her.
It is more than enough for my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to make a new outfit.
Seeing his niece's face smiling like a chrysanthemum, Mr. Hu felt that Tian Shao was still thoughtful. When he gave money and food stamps in the past, his niece was always polite and had never smiled so happily.
Sankui had lunch at Mr. Hu's nephew's house and then went back. Before leaving, he said: "Grandpa Hu, my cousin said that we will return to Sijiu City on the tenth day of the lunar month, and I will come to pick you up then."
"You don't need to pick me up, I'll go back by myself when the time comes." Mr. Hu said.
Since he recognized these two children, he was not pretentious, and he was also thinking about buying a small yard next to Tian Shao's house.
Sankui grinned and said, "It's okay to ask my uncle to take you back to Sijiu City when the time comes."
Seeing his stupidity, Mr. Hu said with disgust: "Hurry up and don't bother me anymore."
After sending them away, Mr. Hu walked back slowly with his hands behind his back. Whenever a child saw his uncle or great-uncle, he responded with a smile. Unlike before, the children with a straight face did not dare to scream.
