Chapter 4 Ding Fang's Wish

When the sky just turned pale, An Ning woke up.

Glancing at the room next door, his father, Zhao Liang, hadn't returned from his night shift.

There is an enamel jar on the top of the cabinet, which contains canteen meal tickets, and a pile of steel coins and hair horn tickets, which are the meal money left by Zhao Liang to his daughter.An Ning put her schoolbag on her back, randomly grabbed a handful of tickets and went downstairs.

After a night of silence, there were more people on the road, and there were quite a few people in the cafeteria. An Ning bought a bowl of noodles and ate it in a hurry and walked towards Ding Fang's house.

She walked quickly, and it didn't take long to reach Gonggong Xincun, where Ding's family lived in the building next to Dongling.

The building is six floors high, except that there is no elevator, there are two households with one elevator, each household has a viewing balcony, the corridors are clean, and there are green belts between the buildings.

In the era of welfare housing distribution, such housing was regarded as a high-standard housing.

The Ding family is a double-employee with four children, an enviable happy family.

Xie Anning walked to the third floor with one step and two steps.

The door of Ding's house on the right is half closed, and there are quite a few voices in the room.

Xie Anning paused, and leaned against the door to look inside.

Ding Fang stood with her schoolbag on her back and her head bowed.

Ding Fang's mother, Tan Shufen, stood with her hips akimbo with a stern face, pointing at her with her right hand, almost poking her forehead, "Sister, you are so ignorant, your father is working so hard to earn some money, so he doesn't know how to help the family? "

"Mom, I don't want to go to a normal school!" Ding Fang insisted stubbornly, "The teacher said..."

"You really dare to think about it!" Tan Shufen slammed the bag on the coffee table, and glanced over sharply, "Girls, don't look at the height of this mountain, just have a job to support yourself. "

Tan Shufen's violent temper, the first time Xie Anning came into contact with her, was really startled.She dared not speak, and stood motionless.

"Mom, the teacher said that I might be admitted to a key university outside the province." Ding Fang's voice was much higher, her eyes were shining brightly, "For example, the Chinese Department of F University, the Economics Department of S University, these university graduates will... ...the future is boundless..."

"Isn't it good to be a teacher after graduating from a normal school, and a girl to be a teacher, and there are winter and summer vacations?"

Tan Shufen stared, and her words were like falling beans, "So what if you get into the key points? Travel expenses, tuition and miscellaneous fees, no money? Parents are paid at work,... Raising you is very hard, I don't know what to do at all." Lai? In my opinion, you should report to the normal college!"

Tan Shufen spoke categorically, before Ding Fang could answer, she turned and went into the back room.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured head-on, Ding Fang's body trembled slightly.

Ding Fang gritted her teeth, her voice was timid, "Mom...I, I'm leaving!"

"Well," Tan Shufen's voice in the back room was cold and alienated.

Ding Fang sighed slightly and turned around.

Pushing open the door, he met the concerned eyes of the girl next to the door.

Ding Fang's eyes were slightly red, "An Ning, you...how long have you been here?"

"Just... just arrived," Xie Anning said very confidently, not wanting to embarrass her.

"Let's go."

Ding Fang went to the carport downstairs and rolled out her Erliu Feige bicycle.These days, not every child can own a bicycle.

Ding Fang was admitted to high school, and her family bought this Feige bicycle.If she is willing to buy a car for her child, why doesn't she approve of her going to a key university outside the province?

Ding Fang rode her bicycle on tiptoe, urging her, "Hurry up, we're going to be late!"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, An Ning held Ding Fang's waist, "You, are you okay!"

"You said just now?" Ding Fang stepped on the pedals and twitched the corners of her mouth, "It doesn't matter,..."

An Jing remained silent, not knowing how to persuade her.

Ten minutes later, they arrived in front of the school gate.

The school is built on the mountain, and from the school gate you can see the teaching buildings standing halfway up the mountain.There is a plaque on the top of the school gate, in red regular script, "Yuancheng Mining Bureau No. [-] Senior High School".

After parking the bicycle, the two of them walked through a large playground with a radius of about 500 meters, and some students were running on the track.In the middle of the playground, lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the breeze blows, and the lotus flowers shake their heads slightly.

Going up a long sloping road, there are clusters of neatly trimmed shrubs on the side of the sloping road, and there are a few unknown flowers in the bushes.At the end is the basketball court.

In front of the brick-red teacher's building in front of the stadium, there is a huge banner hanging, "No matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, no matter how hard you are, don't suffer children!"

Walk across the court to the teaching building, climb up the stairs, and go to the second floor until you reach the classroom at the end.

The teacher has sent out the standard answers for each subject.Facing the standard answers, the students have basically estimated their own test scores, and compared with the admission scores of previous years, they have a rough estimate of themselves.

The students whose scores were not high filled out the voluntary forms and left in a hurry.The remaining students carefully filled out the volunteer form.

For many students, college is out of reach.The low college enrollment rate in this era means that the vast majority of students do not go to college.

Xie Anning had just traveled through time, and she didn't know how the original master did in the exam. She filled out the volunteer form carefully and handed it over to the teacher.

Turning around, he saw Ding Fang meditating with his cheek resting on his hands.

"Hey, why are you in a daze?" An Ning leaned over, "Can't make up your mind?"

"Well," Ding Fang nodded, her cheeks were buried lower, her right hand was pressing the pen cap back and forth, her left hand was raised to wrap a strand of long hair on her forehead around her index finger, and kept twirling and twirling.

"I don't know what to fill in!"

"Why?" An Ning knew her worry, and said softly, "The score can't be estimated? I'll help you do it again!"

"No...not," Ding Fang raised her eyes, her eyes were a little red, "I'm not willing to fill in a normal school!"

"Fill in whatever you want!" An Ning encouraged her.

"Really...is this possible?" Ding Fang hesitated.

Tan Shufen was angry, she was very scared.

"Your mother has your mother's considerations, so why don't you give up easily?" An Ning tilted her head, looked at her and smiled.Ding Fang looked calm, but she had a lot of ideas in her heart, and she would make up her own mind.

"My mother really doesn't give me money, how can I go to school?..." Ding Fang thought in advance, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the serious consequences of angering her mother.

"Current college students are trained by the state, so it doesn't cost much, right?" The college students in the 80s were trained by the state, and there was no tuition fee of tens of thousands later. An Ning knows these basics.

"That's a good word, but people still need to eat and buy school supplies..." Ding Fang frowned, "My father's monthly salary will be 100 yuan, and my mother's salary is only 30 yuan. The family is under a lot of pressure to support my siblings and me to go to school.” In the era when a bowl of noodles costs only a few cents, it is quite a luxury to spend more than ten or even tens of dollars on the train.

An Ning's bright eyes were smiling, and the corners of her lips were curved upwards, "Afraid your mother won't pay you living expenses? If you don't, you won't! We have hands and feet, so we can't find a solution?"

"That's right!" Ding Fang's watery eyes lit up, "What you said makes sense."

After Ding Fang filled out the volunteer form and handed it in, some students gathered around to watch.

An Ning saw that Wei Heping also leaned over to look at something.

Does this guy have a crush on Ding Fang?
