347: Countdown to College Entrance Examination (2 More)

July 3, 1984.

There are 3 days left until the college entrance examination.

The genius was bright, and two hurried dog barks came from the yard of Yu's house.

"Shh, it's too early, don't disturb the neighbors."

It's early in the summer, it's only 6 o'clock at this time, and many people haven't got up yet. Xia Xiaolan warned the two dogs in a low voice, then opened the courtyard door. She made leashes for two dogs, and she could take them for a walk when they got up early for a run. It was pitiful to be locked in the yard all day.

Xia Xiaolan now wakes up at around 5:40 and will definitely go out for a run before 6 o'clock.

Earlier than her, that is, Ge Jian, who was waiting at the door, and Grandma Yu, who was going to go out to sweep the street at 5:30 in the morning.

Xia Xiaolan asked Li Dongliang to go to Pengcheng to help Liu Yong, and Li Dongliang stayed there. There was only Ge Jian on the Shangdu side. Xia Xiaolan said several times that he didn't have to come so early. She was running with two dogs, which was actually quite safe. Ge Jian is a sensible man, and still insists on waiting at the door before 6 o'clock, Xia Xiaolan can only go with him.

"Morning, Grandma Yu!"

When Xia Xiaolan went out, Grandma Yu's work was almost finished. Xia Xiaolan would help her with the finishing touches, but Grandma Yu didn't really understand. The exam was getting closer and closer, and Xia Xiaolan looked more and more relaxed.

Grinding the gun before battle, it is not bright or light.

This girl used to get up early every day and go to the library to review, and when she got home, she would burn the lights and fight until the early morning before falling asleep.

Although no one is supervising her, the time she spends studying every day is definitely no less than that of the senior three students in school.

It's good now, since two days ago, she stopped going to the library of Shang University for self-study!

The time to get up has not changed every day, but after getting up, I go out for a run and walk the dog. After coming back, dawdling and lingering until 9 o'clock. From 9 to 11 o’clock, I was reading books and doing problems. At 11 o’clock, I packed my things and cooked food. At 12 o’clock, I went to the clothing store to deliver meals. When I turned back, it was almost half past noon. I also took a nap when I came back, got up at 2:30 and continued to work on the problem!

From 2:30 to 6:00, she was studying and cooking at night—grandmother Yu also ate Xia Xiaolan’s food, but she was not uncommon, this girl’s talent in cooking was ordinary, The food is of a high standard and the taste is really average. Besides, such a critical time, how good is it to use it for study, why do you want to cook?

If it weren't for the fear of affecting Xia Xiaolan's mood in the college entrance examination, Grandma Yu would have hated her long ago.

Even at night, Xia Xiaolan didn't stay up late, she casually flipped through the book, washed and went to bed after 9 o'clock.

The daily routine is more regular and healthy than that of Grandma Yu, and the unhurried rhythm makes the people around you anxious to see it!

Xia Xiaolan herself is not in a hurry.

If a string is too tight, it might break, so it has to be loosened a little. She feels that the memory in this life is stronger than the previous life. Physically, she is at an active age, and psychologically, she can better grasp her emotions. The review effect is very good, and the progress of the review is also according to her plan. It is impossible for the science department to improve in three or four days. Xia Xiaolan did not go to the Shang University library these days to adapt to the schedule of the college entrance examination in advance.

She personally thinks that the effect is quite good. After the schedule is not so tight, her mind is more relaxed, and the effect of carrying things is very good!

Grandma Yu felt that it was not her job to go out for a run or walk the dog in the morning. In fact, Xia Xiaolan was also endorsing the book all the way. There were a few days left, and she could memorize as much language and politics as she could. Xia Xiaolan memorized almost all the key points given by Teacher Qi, and she was saving her own politics these days. Recite a few more knowledge points, and if you are lucky, you can get a few more points in politics.

Xia Xiaolan got a good feel for the pre-examination, and she was really not that nervous in the college entrance examination.

For the last few mock exams at the school, although Xia Xiaolan didn't go, she asked Ge Jian to help her bring back the papers.

When the college entrance examination is coming, Xia Xiaolan feels that she is calmly prepared. Tomorrow she will go to the school to get the admission ticket. The college entrance examination will not be specialised, and everything will follow the school's arrangement. It is useless to worry about how many points you can get in the test. Instead of thinking about the college entrance examination in 3 days, it is better to think about what to do with mutton at night.

Braised, stewed, or stir-fried.

The most fragrant is the barbecue. The movement is too loud, and I am afraid of getting angry after eating it.

Grandma Yu disliked Xia Xiaolan's craftsmanship. She felt that there was still room for improvement after practicing a few more times!

...

Xia Xiaolan thought about the lamb she ate at night.

It's been almost two months since I came to Shangdu, and Zhang Cui and the others have not met Xia Xiaolan yet, which is quite amazing.

Because Zhang Cui was used to doing business with students, she and Zhang Manfu set up two stalls, wandering around the entrance of the middle school and the farmers market in the north of the city. It's not that Zhang Cui doesn't want to do business at the entrance of the university, or in places like the National Cotton Factory. People in the provincial capital are not stupid. There are food streets, so how can there be no mobile food stalls?

Anqing County is so big. Zhang Cui just set up a stall four years ago. At that time, her food stall was the only one in Anqing County. In the 1980s, just after the reform and opening up, few people dared to do business on the street, Zhang Cui seized the market opportunity in Anqing County. Because she set up a stall first, it developed into a storefront first. Now that she came to Shangdu, she was not the first group of people to set up a stall. She started a snack bar earlier than her, and transformed her own house into a storefront, and her business has been booming.

In the food street, there are steamed dumplings, mutton stewed noodles, and spicy soup.

Zhang Cui can order everything, and she is also competitive. If she opens a store, customers in a store can choose from many tricks.

But she just can't afford to open a shop now.

Money is not a big problem, but not finding a good deal

Appropriate storefront.

The shop in Anqing was rented by Principal Sun, but they have no such relationship in Shangdu!

Zhang Cui, Xia Changzheng, Zhang Manfu and Jiang Lianxiang, all four of them are down-to-earth rural people. They have neither relatives in Shangdu, nor any big person who is shocked by eating a bowl of noodles, so take the initiative to help them rent a shop. .

The sporadic shops in front of the school are either rebuilt from private housing or belong to units.

This is the case not only at the school gate, but also in the entire commercial city.

If you can't afford to open a shop, you can't play so many tricks with mobile food stalls. The market in Shangdu is so big, and now Zhang Cui's business is not as good as when Anqing was booming. In the provincial capital, various inspections are also strict. In the first month, Zhang Cui and others were inexperienced, and they were punished severely by various departments. This is why Xia Xiaolan does not touch the restaurant. If a health and safety issue is a problem, people who can be punished cannot do business well. .

It was difficult for Zhang Cui to last until the second month, and Zhang Cui barely figured out some rules. In May, she lost money and began to see profits in June.

The profit of the two booths is around 200 yuan, but Zhang Manfu and Jiang Lianxiang are already independent booths, and it is impossible for them to give Zhang Cui their money. In fact, this is the business of the two families... The work of the food stall is naturally done separately, and Xia Changzheng can't be idle. Every day, he has to knead noodles to buy things, and he also helps Zhang Cui to open and close the stall. Breakfast time It is the peak passenger flow of the food stall. I have to get up at 4 o'clock every day to prepare. Since I came to Xia Changzheng, I haven't slept a whole lot.

This made him very grumpy.

Zhang Cui was not used to him either, and the couple often quarreled upside down.

In this way, when the college entrance examination was approaching, Zhang Cui received a telegram from Xia Ziyu and remembered to stop Xia Xiaolan from the college entrance examination.

"How is the person you're looking for? There won't be any problems, right?"
