"Zhang Meng, are you stunned?" Xu Ning looked at Zhang Meng's enchanting appearance and raised his hand to poke her face.

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

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

"…Interior design." Zhang Meng thought for a while and said, "I want to design the decoration design inside the house in the future."

"That's great, I will support you, spiritual support." Xu Ning was very happy for Zhang Meng, "You have to come on, and when my family buys a house in the future, I will ask you to help us design it."

"I agreed." Zhang Meng nodded vigorously.

Before, she felt that her future was blurry. Although she was studying very well now, she never found a direction. After looking at these photos, Zhang Meng felt that the door to a new world suddenly opened in front of her. If she hadn't had the ability now, she would really want to design the brick and tile house at home.

"I have never been exposed to this, but since you want to go to this industry, you must have some art foundation. There are also art schools in the imperial capital. This should be the case. You can consult with your class teacher at that time, and he will definitely know a lot." Xu Ning said.

Zhang Meng nodded, "I understand that I will work hard when it doesn't work now, and my family's conditions 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 college, I have to work and study. I am a stubborn temper and have to take action if I want to study. Now, our senior high school entrance examination is still half a year. Let's study hard first. There are three months in the summer vacation. At that time, I find a place to work, and I can earn a little."

"Why come to my factory, you can earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, so you can post a trademark with Jiang Xiaohui. I heard from Brother Zheng that the tuition fee for college is only 180 yuan in the first year, and the key is that the state will also provide living allowances for admission to college, and it will cost 40 or 50 yuan a month. You just need to earn enough tuition for the first year of college first, and you won't spend a lot of money in the future."

Zhang Meng suddenly felt like she was dreaming, "The country will give you money every year when she was admitted to university?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng has a subsidy of dozens of yuan a month, and there are subsidies for meals. It is said that as long as you don't waste extravagance, the food subsidy given to you is generally enough for you to eat. In fact, it doesn't cost money to go to college."

"That's great." After hearing this news, Zhang Meng felt much more relaxed, which means that she only needs to study hard now. Xu Ning wants to go to the imperial capital, but her current academic performance may be difficult for her to get into the university of the imperial capital. Unless she has the chance to enter the top ten in the grade, she might be able to compete with the imperial capital.

The main reason is that she has been good friends with Xu Ning for so many years. She will be separated for several years in the future, and she will not be willing to leave her.

So, the next six months were to work hard and work harder.

Xu Ning didn't know that he didn't need to pay money to go to college now, and he could even make money. And as long as he didn't waste it in college, you wouldn't spend it at all. The key is that after graduation, the state still included distribution. Although the domestic private economy has begun to develop, state-owned enterprises still occupy the majority. After graduation, these university graduates directly entered state-owned enterprises and had stable income. If they get married, the state will also allocate houses to you. Although the area is not large, the better one is 60 to 70 square meters, and the worse one is 30 square meters, but at least you have a city household registration, so you don't have to continue facing the loess and back to the sky.

As for the 180 yuan paid during the start of school, it is a miscellaneous fee such as book fees, and only the first year of payment is paid, so the rest is not needed.

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

Xu Ning was confused when she charged college fees in her previous life and didn’t know at all, but she still remembered that when Huahua and Xiao Zhong were in college, she was not as comfortable as 20,000 yuan a year. Fortunately, the conditions at the family of her two children were pretty good.

Many years later, college students rarely appear in rural areas. For the family members, they are both happy and worried. What they are happy is that their children have made a fortune, but what they are worried about is how much tuition can be collected.

So if a college student can come out of a village, it can almost be said to be a happy event for the whole village. The people in the village will raise some money and send the college student out little by little.

In the future, this child may be able to repay the village if he has a promising future. If he meets a ungrateful person and lives well outside, he may look down on the villagers and elders who sent him out, and he can only stare at him.

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

Xu Ning still maintained his old pace, but Zhang Meng's head teacher, Teacher Qi, now Zhang Meng, who is the top three in the class, seems to be working harder.

Moreover, Teacher Qi was asked a lot of things by Zhang Meng, all about knowledge about architecture and art.

Teacher Qi graduated from normal university. After graduation, he returned to the local high school to teach. He worked for twenty years. Zhang Meng was the first student to want to take the art school, but this child had no artistic foundation at all. This made Teacher Qi pale. He wanted to persuade Zhang Meng, but he also knew that the student's heart was firm, and the student's academic performance was really good and stable. He thought maybe he could give it a try.

Because he didn't know much, Teacher Qi simply learned from his colleagues in the school, and then contacted all the old classmates who had not been in contact for many years, asking about the problems related to the Department of Architecture and Art.

It can be said that he was really worried.

After finding out, Teacher Qi asked Zhang Meng for one-on-one conversations several times.

Zhang Meng also knew that Teacher Qi had high professional ethics, and she was also very grateful to see that this teacher was so worried about her.

"Teacher, do you think I have the ability to be admitted to the Imperial University?"

"..." Teacher Qi was a little dizzy. Didn't he say he wanted to go to the Academy of Art before? "The admission line of the University of Dizhao is very high, unless you can get the top three scores in next year's mock exam. It's just that the scores you get in our school are not counted. At least the scores must not be low. If you can get the top ten in the college entrance examination, you have a great chance of entering the University of Dizhao. Don't you want to go to the Academy of Art?"

"Well, I want to learn interior design in the future. This is an emerging profession in our country. Xu Ning said that the prospects of this profession are very good, and I like this profession very much. Teacher Qi, you know, I just wanted to study hard before, and I never planned to do anything in the future. But when I saw the decoration of a house in Xu Ning's family some time ago, I felt it was very attractive to me. Although I really wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, I was still very unfamiliar with the housing construction industry, so I discussed it with Xu Ning and suggested that I don't jump so high all of a sudden, at least start with architecture first, and wait until I enter this aspect, and then see if I have the opportunity to study in the Academy of Fine Arts."

Teacher Qi is not disgusted with Zhang Meng talking about Xu Ning. After all, Xu Ning's scores are here, and every exam is almost close to full marks. It is a foregone conclusion that such a student was admitted to the Emperor. If Zhang Meng could target Xu Ning, he might be more motivated.

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

But this is good, I will do it step by step.

"Then you have to work very hard next time. In fact, the architecture department does not have to go to Dida. There are still many universities in China that are very good at architecture. While studying, you should also pay attention to letting your mind rest and don't be too tight."

"Thank you, Teacher Qi."

When I learned about Zhang Meng’s dream, Xu Ning would have dinner with Zhang Meng at noon every day and study in the classroom with books. Sometimes he was in Class 1 of Science and sometimes in Class 1 of Liberal Arts.

When they were in science, they were 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 these two people spent more time in science class.

Seeing Xu Ning's grades work so hard, other students were also infected and became particularly hardworking.

Seeing the students working so hard, the teachers are the happiest. With such a strong learning atmosphere, the teachers have become energetic.

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

This year's winter vacation was a little late, and of course the start date of next year is also on the eighth day of the lunar month, but the school left a lot of homework, all of which were papers.

Xu Ning said to her parents that night, and while her parents were cooking, she plunged into the space to do her homework.

In the kitchen, Qin Xuejuan thought of her daughter and said to her husband: "You said we will buy a car and drive it after Ningning graduates next year?"

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 sedan in the entire county. It is still the one that the county leaders usually take when they go to the meetings. It is absolutely not possible to use it for private matters. It is easy to report you. The only one you are a big official is just like a decent person. Do you want to do it?

Now that private purchases of cars are legal, not everyone can afford them, it is really too expensive.

My wife has been rich since she was a child and could ride a car when she went out, but now it is not easy for you to buy it. Now there are more and more rich people in China, and as a bicycle, the country is destroyed, two-wheeled ones are now the main means of transportation in China, and even motorcycles are not particularly numerous.

Now if you buy a motorcycle and return to Xiangshan Village, it will be something that everyone in the village can watch, let alone a car.

"Juan'er, it is difficult to buy domestic cars now. Although the country has introduced the legalization of private cars, it also requires a lot of procedures. This will take at least one or two months, and it may not be possible to buy them, and the supply is in short supply."

Qin Xuejuan really doesn't know much about this. Her husband is a government civil servant at least, so he knows much more about this than he does.

She thought that as long as she had money, she could buy it, but now it seems that she really took it for granted.

"Then let's wait a little longer." She was not depressed, just saying this just now.

"Yeah, wait a little longer."

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

"Isn't it not to do homework?" Xu Jianjun asked.

"I've finished writing and reviewed for a long time." Xu Ning came forward to take over and help her mother cook, so she could have fun next time.

"Ningning is about to take the exam in three or four months after the Chinese New Year, and suddenly I feel very nervous." Qin Xuejuan poured a bowl of shrimp paste next to her, made two eggs into it, dripped in two drops of sesame oil, and prepared to steam it in a pot.

Shrimp paste and scallions are Xu Jianjun’s favorite. A piece of corn flour pancake, a small salted fish, two scallions and a bowl of eggs are really very good. In this era, it was a very good meal. At least it was much more comfortable than eating fried cabbage all day.

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

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

Xu Ning is still very confident in herself, but she is not very worried. She will not relax when it is time to work hard. If she really doesn't pass the exam, it will only be her own problem.

This Spring Festival, Grandpa Jiang and his family returned from the imperial capital, but perhaps this is also the last year their family has 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 if they don't live there?

Yu Chunhua was left with only Xu Jianjun, so her son was not in need of her care, but she still had grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law wanted to do business, but she couldn't live without these two old men around her. They couldn't bear to let her grandson stay in the countryside with the two old men.

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

But 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, this year's college entrance examination is the national unified test paper. The total score is 71o points, Chinese and mathematics are 12o, science is 100 points, biology is 70 points. However, it is said that physics is difficult this year, but no matter how difficult it is, someone can answer it. You usually do more exercises. I bought you some books on this aspect from the imperial capital. You should read more often. You should carefully review the questions during the exam. Never be careless."

"Of course, I don't need to say anything about the previous pre-exam. In short, the admission score of the Dizhai University is 618 points this year. However, because you want to take the medical department, the score line must be added at least 30 points. I remembered that this year's test questions were not easy, and this admission line may fluctuate. It is still easier to take the exam for Dizhai University than more than 30 years later. Now our country is in the early stage of the exhibition. Many state-owned enterprises in the country are very short of talents. Now the country provides jobs. Not to mention college students, it is very easy to find a high school student than in the next few decades. There are many types of vocational schools that have divided students, so as long as you are not nervous, there is definitely no problem. My brother will wait for you in the imperial capital."

Xu Ning just listened quietly, and Xie Zheng also told him a lot of things. As for leaking questions, it was impossible. Xie Zheng was not a candidate for this class. Even if he knew the exam was difficult, he had never looked at the college entrance examination papers of this class.

However, in the following time, Xu Ning was too idle. He was with Xie Zheng every day from morning to night. He listened to him explaining to himself. Except for other subjects in Chinese, Xie Zheng felt that everything could be involved would be asked Xu Ning to think about it himself first. If it really doesn't work, he would explain to the girl.

However, Xie Zheng was relieved in these ten days. From the time she could be said to have no foundation before, to the solid foundation now, her efforts will definitely not be in vain.

Xu Ning really worked hard. Although she only had five or six years to come back, she had spent at least ten years studying. She spent a lot of time in space and continued to study. She would never slackewer when she should work hard. She had had enough of the uneducated pain.

In the era when college students were rampant in later generations, it may not be worth it, but in this era, college students are rare. It is already very awesome to be able to get into twenty or thirty college students in a high school.

Xu Ning followed his mother back to the county on the seventh day of the lunar month, and the school in the eighth day of the lunar month officially started.

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

Xu Ning also read the information that Xie Zheng brought to her with Zhang Meng. As for the matter about the college entrance examination, she did not reveal it, only she knew it.

If you say it out, someone asks you how you know that this year's college entrance examination is a unified test paper, how do you know that this year's physics is particularly difficult? She can't answer at all, and it's better to be like this now.

Other people's future belongs to others, and she doesn't have the compassion to care about it. Now she just needs to take good care of herself and Zhang Meng.

Did Xie Zheng and his family leave on the 10th day of the lunar month, or did they call Qin Xuejuan and say that they can get home safely, and said that Qin Xuejuan will take care of Xu Ning's diet more, and the next few months will be the most tiring time for Xu Ning.

Although Qin Xuejuan felt that Xie Zheng had no need to say this, she was relieved that the child was worried about his daughter.

At the end of March, the mock exam began. The mock exam is different from the later ones. If you cannot adjust your state in three consecutive mock exams, you are not eligible to take the college entrance examination. She also heard Xie Zheng say this during the Spring Festival.

During the exam, Xu Ning was very relaxed and had no tension at all.

Review the questions carefully and answer them carefully. After you have time, browse them from beginning to end, and hand in the paper after the time comes.

The process went very smoothly, and even made her feel illusioned.

On the third day after the exam, the results were released. Xu Ning was still the first in the school. However, what made Xu Ning happy was that Zhang Meng actually squeezed into the top ten in the grade this time, which was also the best time for Zhang Meng to take. After learning about this score, she almost jumped up.
