"Zhang Meng, are you stupefied?" Xu Ning looked at Zhang Meng's fascinating look, raised his hand and poked her in the face.

Zhang Meng looked back and looked down at the dozens of color photos in front of him. After a while, he muttered, "Xu Ning, I think I have found my future. I want to design a house."

"House design or interior design?" Xu Ning asked.

"...Interior design." Zhang Mengsi said for a while, "I want to design the interior design of the house in the future."

"Great, I will support you, spiritually." Xu Ning is very happy for Zhang Meng, "You have to work hard, and when my house buys a house, I will ask you to help us design."

"That's it." Zhang Meng nodded vigorously.

Before, she felt that her future was a blur. Although she is studying very well now, she has never found a direction. After seeing these photos, Zhang Meng felt that a door to a new world had suddenly been opened before her eyes. If it weren't for her inability now, she I really want to design the brick house at home.

"I haven't been in touch with this, but since you want to go into this business, you have to have a good foundation in art. There are also art schools in the Imperial Capital. That should be the case. You can consult with your head teacher at that time. He must know a lot." Xu Ning said.

Zhang Meng nodded, "I understand that I will work harder if I don't do it now, and the conditions in my family are not very good. I heard that it costs a lot of money to learn this, but I also heard that when I go to university, I will work and study at the same time. Just get tired. I’m a stubborn temper. If I want to learn, I have to take action. Now we are in the third year of high school, and the college entrance examination is still half a year away. We will study hard first. There will be three months in the summer vacation. Then I will find a place to work, so I can earn a little bit. a little."

"Why don't you come to my factory? You can earn fifty to sixty yuan a month. Just post a trademark with Jiang Xiaohui. I heard from Brother Zheng that the first year of university tuition is only one hundred and eighty yuan, and the key is The country will also give you living allowances when you are admitted to the university, and you can get 40 to 50 quick cash per month. You only need to earn enough tuition for the first year of university, and you will not spend a lot of money in the future."

Zhang Meng suddenly felt dreaming, "The country will give you money every year when you enter the university?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng has a subsidy of dozens of dollars a month, and there are also subsidies for meals. It is said that as long as you don't spend extravagantly, the general state subsidies for your meals are enough for you to eat. In fact, you can't afford to go to university. of."

"That's really great." Hearing the news, Zhang Meng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, which means she only needs to study desperately now. Xu Ning wants to go to the Imperial City, and she may want to take the exam now. The university of God Capital is still very difficult, unless there is a chance to enter the top ten of the grade, in that case, you may be able to fight for the Imperial Capital.

The main reason is that she has been a good friend of Xu Ning for so many years, and she will be reluctant to part with it for several years.

Therefore, for the next six months, I worked hard and worked hard.

Xu Ning didn’t know before that he didn’t need to pay to go to university now, and he could even make money. Moreover, as long as you don’t spend extravagantly in university, you will not be able to spend what the country can’t help you. The key is that after graduation, the country pays you. Package distribution. Although the domestic private economy has begun to develop, state-owned enterprises still occupy the majority. These college graduates have directly entered state-owned enterprises after graduation and have a stable income. If you get married, the state will allocate you a house, although the area is not large. The better one is between sixty and seventy, and the worst one is thirty. But at any rate you also have an urban household registration, so you don’t have to face the loess with your back to the sky.

As for the one hundred and eighty yuan paid during the beginning of the semester, it is the book fees and other miscellaneous expenses, which means that only the first year is paid, and the rest is not needed.

Moreover, Xie Zheng also told her that it is time to catch up, and the university will start charging in a few years.

When did Xu Ning, who charged for the university in the previous life, caught up with him, she didn’t know at all, but she still remembered that when Huahua and Xiao Zhong were in college, they didn’t have a small amount of 20,000 yuan each year to live uncomfortably. Fortunately, the two children lived at home. The conditions are pretty good.

Years later, college students rarely appeared in the countryside. If a college student walked out, it was both happy and worrying for the family. The happy thing is that the children of the family are promising. The worry is how can we get so much tuition? .

Therefore, as long as a college student can walk out of a village, it can almost be said to be a happy event for the whole village. The people in the village will collect a small amount of money from you and me and send the college student out.

In the future, this child may be able to return to the village if he meets a white-eyed wolf and has a good time outside. If he is not sure, he will look down on the folks and elders who sent him out, and he can only stare at him.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, they returned to their hometown for a reunion festival, and then Xu Ning and Zhang Meng returned to school.

Xu Ning still maintained the old pace, but Zhang Meng's head teacher Qi found that Zhang Meng, who was the top three in the class, seemed to work harder.

And Teacher Qi was asked many things by Zhang Meng, all about architecture and fine arts.

Teacher Qi graduated from a normal university, and after graduation, he returned to the local high school to teach. Zhang Meng was still the first student who wanted to enter the Academy of Fine Arts for twenty years. But this child has no foundation in art. This made Teacher Qi's worried hair turn white. He wanted to persuade Zhang Meng, but he also knew that the student's heart was firm, and his academic performance was really good and stable. He thought maybe he could try.

Because he didn't know much, Teacher Qi simply learned from his colleagues in the school, and then got in touch with old classmates who hadn't been in contact for many years, asking questions about architecture and or fine arts.

It can be said that I really broke my heart.

After figuring it out, Teacher Qi had a one-on-one conversation with Zhang Meng several times.

Zhang Meng also knows that Teacher Qi has a very high morality, and she is also very grateful to see this teacher working so hard for her.

"Teacher, do you think my grades are capable of being admitted to the Imperial University?"

"..." Teacher Qi was a little dizzy, didn't he say that he wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts? "Emperor University’s admission line is very high. Unless you can get the top three scores in next year’s mock exams, it’s just that the scores taken in our school are not considered. At least the scores must not be low. You won the top ten in the city. You have a good chance to enter the Imperial University. Don’t you want to go to the Academy of Fine Arts?"

"Well, I want to study interior design in the future. This is a new profession in our country. Xu Ning said that the prospects of this profession are very good, and I like this profession very much. You know, teacher Qi, I just thought about it before I study hard and I have no plans for what I will do in the future. However, I saw the decoration of a house in Xu Ning’s family some time ago. It’s unfamiliar, so I discussed it with Xu Ning. She suggested that I shouldn’t jump so high all at once. At least I should start with architecture first. When I enter the door, I will see if I have a chance to enter the Academy of Fine Arts for further study."

Teacher Qi is not disgusted with Zhang Meng’s mouthful of Xu Ning. After all, Xu Ning’s grades are displayed here, and every exam is almost close to full marks. Such students can be said to be admitted to the Imperial University. Rather as the goal, maybe it will be more motivated.

We must know that their school has been established for many years, and no student has ever been admitted to the Imperial University.

But this is fine, step by step.

"Then you will have to work very hard next. In fact, the architecture department doesn't have to go to the Imperial University. There are still many architecture departments in universities in China that are very good. At the same time, you must pay attention to let your mind rest and rest. Don't be too tight. "

"Thank you Teacher Qi."

Knowing Zhang Meng’s dream, Xu Ning would have dinner with Zhang Meng at noon every day, holding books and studying in the classroom, sometimes in the science class and sometimes in the liberal arts class.

When they were in science, the two of them were still a little quiet, but when they went to the liberal arts class, many people would gather here when they saw Xu Ning, and even the classroom would become noisy, because the two of them spent more time in the science class. many.

And seeing Xu Ning working so hard with such good grades, other students were also infected and became extra hardworking.

Seeing the students working so hard, nothing is more happy than the teachers. With such a strong learning atmosphere, the teachers have become energetic.

Snow is coming, winter is here, half of the last year of high school has passed, and winter vacation is coming as scheduled.

The winter vacation this year was a bit late. Of course, the start date of next year is also on the eighth day of the year, but the school left a lot of homework, all of which are papers.

Xu Ning talked to her parents that night. Taking advantage of her parents' cooking, she plunged into the space to do homework.

In the kitchen, Qin Xuejuan thought of her daughter, and said to her husband: "You said we should wait for Ningning to graduate next year and buy a car and drive?"

Xu Jianjun was very surprised. He knew that his wife was rich now, but buying a private car still made him feel a little awkward.

Not to mention the villages and towns below, there is only one public car in the entire county. It is still used by the county leaders when they go to meetings above. It is absolutely impossible to use it for private affairs. Reporting you is all light. , Your only official is corrupt, don't you want to do it?

Private purchases of cars are now legalized, but not everyone can afford them. It is really too expensive.

My wife has a wealthy family since she was a child, and she can take a car when she goes out. But now even if you want to buy it, it’s not easy. Nowadays, there are more and more wealthy people in the country. And as a bicycle, two-wheeled bicycles are now the main ones in the country. There are not many vehicles, even motorcycles.

Now if you buy a motorcycle and go back to Xiangshan Village, it will allow the whole village to watch, let alone a car.

"Juan'er, it can be said that domestic cars are difficult to buy now. Although the country has introduced the legalization of private cars, it also requires a lot of formalities. It will take at least a month or two, and it may not be possible to buy them. Supply exceeds demand."

This Qin Xuejuan is really not sure. Her husband is a government official anyway, and he knows more about this kind of thing than he does.

She thought that as long as she had money, she would be able to buy it. Now it seems that she really took it for granted.

"Then let's wait." She wasn't depressed, she just said casually just now.

"Well, wait a minute."

Just after copying a dish, Xu Ning came in from outside.

"Not doing homework?" Xu Jianjun asked.

"I've finished writing, and I have been reviewing for a long time." Xu Ning came forward to take over and help her mother cook, and then I can have fun.

"After the Chinese New Year, Ningning is about to take an exam only three or four months, and I suddenly feel very nervous." Qin Xuejuan poured a bowl of shrimp paste next to him, put two eggs into it, and put two drops of sesame oil into it, ready to put it. Steam in the pot.

Shrimp paste and green onions are Xu Jianjun’s favorite. A piece of cornmeal pancake, a small salted fish, two green onions and a bowl of shrimp paste fused with eggs. It’s really a good meal. In the rural areas of this era, it can be considered a meal. Very good meal, at least much more comfortable than eating fried cabbage all day long.

"Are you afraid I won't pass the exam?" Xu Ning asked with a smile.

"Even if you can pass the exam, Mom will be nervous." Qin Xuejuan didn't want to discourage her daughter's enthusiasm.

Xu Ning is still very confident in herself, but she doesn't worry too much. She will not relax when she should work hard. If she does not pass the exam by then, it can only be her own problem.

This Spring Festival, Grandpa Jiang’s family returned from the Imperial Capital, but perhaps this is the last year their family returned to Xiangshan Village.

No matter where Xu Ning goes to the university next year, the Xu family should move to the Imperial Capital to live in. The house has been renovated. Wouldn't it be a waste not to live there?

Yu Chunhua also has only a son like Xu Jianjun. The son doesn’t need her to take care of him, but he also has grandchildren and grandchildren. The daughter-in-law wants to do business. They are also reluctant to stay in the countryside.

Because Xu Ning is about to take the college entrance examination, Xie Zheng did not do anything shy when he came back this time.

However, Xie Zheng seemed to be more nervous than Xu Ning, and he pulled her to talk to Xu Ning about the college entrance examination this year.

"Ningning, the college entrance examination this year is a unified national examination paper. The total score is 710 points, the language count is 120, the other sciences are 100 points, and the biology is 70 points. However, it is said that this year's physics is very difficult. Some people can answer the difficult questions. Usually you do more exercises. I bought you some books on this subject from the Imperial Capital. You have to read more and review the questions carefully during the exam. Don't be careless."

"Of course, I don’t need to say anything about the previous pre-examination. In short, the admission score of the university is 618 points in science this year. But because you want to take the medical department, you must add at least 30 points to the score. I remembered that this year’s exam questions were not easy. This admission line may fluctuate, and Kao Di University is easier now than it was more than 30 years later. Now our country is in the early stage of development, and many state-owned enterprises in the country are short of talents. Now the country provides jobs, college students don’t say, That is, it is easier for high school students to get a job than in the next few decades. There are still many types of vocational schools that have left students, so as long as you are not nervous, you will definitely be fine. Brother will be waiting for you in the Imperial City."

Xu Ning just listened quietly. Xie Zheng also told him a lot of things. As for venting questions or something, it is impossible. Xie Zheng is not a candidate for this class, even if he knows that the exam is difficult, he did not look at it. Passed this year's college entrance examination papers.

But for the rest of the time, Xu Ning couldn't take any time off. Every day from morning to night, he stayed with Xie Zheng and listened to him lecturing to himself. In addition to other subjects in Chinese, Xie Zheng felt that everything could be involved. Yes, Xu Ning will figure it out for himself first, if it doesn't work, he will explain to the girl.

However, in these ten days, Xie Zheng is gratified. From the zero foundation before, to the solid foundation now, her efforts will definitely not be in vain.

Xu Ning has really worked hard. Regardless of the five or six years she has been back from rebirth, she has spent at least ten years in her studies. She spends a lot of time in the space to continue her studies, when she should work hard. She never dared to relax, she had had enough of uneducated suffering.

In an era when college students are flooded in later generations, it may be worthless, but in this era, college students are rare. It is already very bullish to be able to pass 20 or 30 college students in a high school.

Xu Ning returned to the county with his mother on the seventh day of the seventh day, and the third year of the eighth day school officially opened.

After that, the atmosphere of the school's senior year became tense, and many students stayed in the classroom to read and study at noon.

Xu Ning also looked at the materials Xie Zheng brought back to her with Zhang Meng. As for the college entrance examination, she did not disclose it, only she knew.

If you say it, others will ask you how do you know that this year's college entrance examination is a unified test paper, and how do you know that this year's physics is particularly difficult? She couldn't answer at all, so it's not as good as it is now.

The future of others belongs to others. She can't control it, and she doesn't have the compassionate mind to control it. Now she only needs to take care of herself and Zhang Meng.

Xie Zheng's family left on the tenth day of the tenth day. They still returned home and called Qin Xuejuan to say that it was safe to get home, and also said that Qin Xuejuan should take care of Xu Ning’s diet. The next few months will be Xu Ning’s tiredest. when.

Although Qin Xuejuan felt that Xie Zheng didn't have to say these things, she felt relieved that the child was worried about her daughter.

At the end of March, the mock exam started. The current mock exam is different from the later ones. If you can't adjust your status after three consecutive mock exams, you will not be eligible to take the college entrance examination. She also heard Xie Zheng said during the Spring Festival.

During the exam, Xu Ning was relaxed and did not feel nervous at all.

Carefully review the questions and answer the questions carefully. After the answer, there is still time to browse through it from beginning to end, and then hand in the paper when the time is up.

The process went very smoothly, and even gave her an illusion.

On the third day after the exam, the results came out. Xu Ning was still the first in the school, but Xu Ning was happy that Zhang Meng actually squeezed into the top ten of the grade this time. This is also the best time for Zhang Meng. After learning about this result, she almost didn't jump up with joy.
