The college entrance examination is a turning point in life. This sentence was written in red on a banner and hung high on the college entrance examination cheering wall in the school building.
After school, Xie Wanying carried her schoolbag down the stairs. When she looked back and saw this banner, she suddenly felt that it was quite ironic.
It turns out that such a sentence is two-faced in the minds of some teachers. For people like her and Zhao Wenzong, it is a happy life to be able to change from third-rate to second-rate. If they become first-rate, Liu Hui and others will think that she and Zhao Wenzong are toads.
I want to eat swan meat.
No wonder her cousin Zhou Ruomei's tone that night was almost sarcastic towards her mother and her.
You're the daughter of a truck driver. What medical school are you going to take? If you pass the exam and no one wants you, go to the county health center.
Before going home, Xie Wanying went to the stationery store and bought some pens for candidates to use in the college entrance examination to be prepared. What she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the house, her class teacher came.
"Sun Rongfang, your child's class teacher is here."
The neighbor next door called out, and Sun Rongfang, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, wiped her hands and came out to greet the distinguished guests. She saw her daughter who had just returned home in the living room and urged her: "Give your teacher a glass of water."
Her mother didn't know that she had talked back to Liu Hui at school, so Xie Wanying walked to the kitchen silently, not wanting to face the class teacher face to face.
"Teacher Liu, please come in." Sun Rongfang took the initiative to help Liu Hui move the chair as she entered.
It was also the first time for Liu Hui to visit Xie Wanying's home. When she entered, she only saw the family situation: a bungalow of less than 40 square meters, with mottled walls, lame tables and chairs, and no sofa.
Seeing the look from her daughter's class teacher, Sun Rongfang remembered the imported oranges that her cousin had rejected, and said politely, "Teacher Liu, let me cut an orange for you. It's an imported Sunkist orange."
"Don't be busy, don't be busy. I have a few things to explain to your family clearly," Liu Hui said.
What Sunkist Orange? Liu Hui couldn't stay in this shabby house for a minute. You know, she just went to Zhang Wei's home of more than 100 square meters in a community building last night. The homes of two female students are completely different worlds.
When Sun Rongfang heard that the teacher's tone was wrong, she was stunned: her daughter was going to take the college entrance examination, what happened?
"Teacher, tell me." Sun Rongfang asked tremblingly.
When a teacher goes to a student's home, no parent of the student should tremble with nervousness.
"Does your family know what college entrance examination application Xie Wanying filled out?"
"She said she wanted to take the medical school exam." Sun Rongfang said, thinking of her daughter's dream.
"It's not that the teachers don't support her taking the medical school exam, it's just that with her grades, to be honest, it's pretty good to be admitted to a medical school in the provincial capital. But I don't think she will be able to pass the exam. Based on her grades, the school's teachers agreed
It would be better for her to go to a nearby normal college."
Xie Wanying, who was standing in the kitchen and looking at the kettle, was as calm as a mountain. She realized that Liu Hui came just to express her feelings. It didn't matter. She had filled out the volunteer form and couldn't change it. No one could control it.
"Really?" Sun Rongfang's tone lowered. The teacher's words were the same as what her cousin said. She had long known that there was no way out.
"The problem is," Liu Hui said, "Xie Wanying insists on applying to the National Association of Medical Sciences, which is the number one medical school in the country and only recruits ten people nationwide."
Sun Rongfang's head suddenly raised: her daughter really filled out the application form. Her cousin was so angry that she filled it out in front of her cousin. For some reason, she felt a little happy in her heart.
