Tinglan still ranked third in the exam. Starting from the second semester of her senior year in high school, she tried her best but could only stay in third place. At first, she was afraid of being discovered by her mother. Later, she realized that she was overthinking her grades.
My parents, who paid the most attention to me, relaxed at the critical moment of my senior year of high school.
Dad was still very busy, and he was nowhere to be seen all day long. When he came home occasionally, he was very haggard and had no time to take care of her studies.
As for my mother, her original words were: "Mom believes that your foundation is very good. As long as you are not nervous about the exam, you will definitely get good grades. Therefore, your mother will not put as much pressure on you as she did in the high school entrance examination. If your mother relaxes, so will you."
Just take the exam if you’re in a good mood.”
Later, Ting Lan thought that she might have realized it later. The atmosphere in the family was already very tense at that time. The three members of the family were all tightly tied to a string that would break at the first touch. The reason why it didn't break was that they were all suffering and waiting.
She finished her college entrance examination.
Fortunately, she realized it later and concentrated on reviewing for the college entrance examination, so she performed normally during the college entrance examination and felt pretty good about herself. However, after finishing the last subject, when she came out of the examination room, her mother was still the only one waiting outside the school gate.
She has never seen her father.
She suddenly remembered the news on TV. Many middle-aged couples were seemingly inseparable and waited for their children to finish the college entrance examination to get divorced. Some couples had even divorced long ago and just waited for the college entrance examination to be over before informing their children.
Thinking of this, Ting Lan's heart suddenly sank. He stopped and asked his mother, "Will you divorce your father?"
When her mother was asked this question, Xu Shi also thought of the news and suddenly smiled and said: "How come there is a divorce? My parents have a very good relationship. It's just that there are too many things in our unit recently and we are under too much pressure."
Tinglan was relieved.
"When your dad is free in the past two days, we will go out to have a nice meal as a family. You have been the hardest in the past six months."
"good."
Tinglan now had nothing to do and was at ease. Suddenly freed from the stressful college entrance examination, her heart felt a little empty.
When the mother and daughter walked into the community, they saw Wen Lan and Wen Jian coming back from the examination room, but they seemed to have just had a quarrel and their faces were not very good.
Zhang He went over to greet and chat with Wen Lan, while Ting Lan and Wen Jian stood aside and waited.
Tinglan lowered his head and looked at his shoes. He poked the ground with his toes. He didn't want to talk to Wen Jian, and he had nothing to talk about.
Instead, Wen Jian asked her: "How did you do in the exam?"
Wen Jian's attitude towards her has always been good and bad. Tinglan has become accustomed to it and simply replied: "It's pretty good."
The conversation between two mothers nearby came over.
Wen Lan couldn't control her temper and complained: "We have always planned for Jane to go out after high school, but now she is starting to hesitate whether to stay in China to go to college or go out."
Hearing this, Tinglan glanced at Wen Jian and knew that Wen Jian was a very independent girl and she must have her own reasons for her choice.
The two mothers chatted for a while and said goodbye.
Wen Lan and Wen Jian's voices came faintly from behind.
Wen Jian complained: "Why do you say everything to others?"
Wen Lan: "You think mom doesn't know. You want to wait for the boy to be sure. If he goes abroad, you go abroad. If he wants to stay in the country, you should stay in the country. Little Jane, don't forget that you are different from others..."
For the next words, Wen Lan looked back at Tinglan and her daughter, and restrained herself from saying anything further. In the past, it was still up to Xiao Jian to make her own decision, but the current situation meant that they had to leave just in case. Her brother had already taken the place of her husband.
They have everything sorted out abroad, and it will take another month at most.
