my sister is bismarck

If metaphysics is useful, what is the need for science?

The proprietress' explanation did not resolve Zhou Ming's doubts, but aggravated them.

This also made him very curious about the contents of the book.

Zhou Ming paid the money, and left Brilliant Bookstore with vegetables in his left hand and books in his right.

After walking for a while, Zhou Ming suddenly realized a problem, stopped and turned to look at Brilliant Bookstore: "Did I forget to ask the proprietress's name and contact information again?"

At the end of the path paved with bluestone slabs, there is a study house with black tiles and white walls.

The beauty in cheongsam holds a book and concentrates on it.

A landscape full of poetry and ink.

Just like, Zhou Ming met the proprietress for the first time.

"Forget it," Zhou Ming shook his head, turned and left.

"There will always be a chance to meet in the future, and it won't be too late to find a chance to get in touch."

Thinking so, but Zhou Ming knew it in his heart.

If there were no accidents, this should be the last time he saw the proprietress. [Student Zhou Ming: You have passed the preliminary review of our school.If you are willing, please go to the third branch of the Maritime Military Academy in the third sea area for the second round of assessment on September 9. ]

Zhou Ming stared blankly at the mail signed by the Maritime Military Academy in the mailbox.

The email he had been looking forward to for eight years lay quietly in the mailbox.

Since humans took back the land, the land and sea occupied by humans has been divided into 26 sea areas, which are named after numbers.

The higher the number, the safer it is.

Zhou Ming's home is in the fifth sea area.

The hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.

Zhou Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the joy that was about to burst from his heart, and opened the official website of the Naval Academy skillfully and tremblingly.

Clicking on the list of preliminary screening results, it took him half an hour to find his name and confirm it several times.

Only then did Zhou Ming truly confirm that he had passed the preliminary examination of the Naval Academy.

Release the mouse, and he slumped on the chair.

Then joy that could no longer be suppressed spewed out, sweeping the whole body.

With a smile on his face, Zhou Ming couldn't help but waved his fists: "Hahaha, I've passed it! I've passed it! I've really passed it!"

This is really not a dream!

Half an hour later, Zhou Ming finally felt tired and sat on the chair with a grin.

Clicking on the class group that had been rambunctious since eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ming glanced at the latest news and hooked his mouth.

He took a screenshot of the email and sent it. After counting silently for three seconds, he clicked to withdraw, and finally attached a sentence lightly.

[Zhou Ming: Sorry, I sent it wrong. ]

The class group was silent for a minute, and then frantically swiped the screen with dozens of messages per second.

Zhou Ming, who had expected it earlier, had already blocked the class group.

"Sure enough, sharing joy with others can reap even more joy. The teacher will not deceive me!"

He was a little emotional.

In addition to his classmates, Zhou Ming did not forget the teachers who took care of him a lot.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you for taking care of me these three years, thank you!"

After hanging up the call of the last teacher in charge, Zhou Ming took a sip from his water glass.

He still has two phone calls left.

One is the gray-haired head teacher who took care of him in many places during the three years of high school.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, what's the matter?"

The phone was dialed quickly, and Zhou Ming's nose turned sore when he heard the familiar old voice: "Mr. Xiao, I passed the preliminary screening of the Naval Academy!"

"Okay!" Teacher Xiao laughed from the bottom of his heart, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

"But don't get too carried away now," the head teacher's voice became serious, "Your main goal now is to prepare for the second round of assessment with peace of mind. Although I really don't want to say this, I have to say that you are not ready to relax yet. time, understand?"

"Well! I know!"

Although he was dazzled by joy after learning that he had passed the preliminary examination, Zhou Ming had already regained his composure at this time.

As the head teacher said, it's not time to relax yet.

Rather, from this moment on, the prospective commanders who passed the preliminary screening will embark on a path that is more severe than the college entrance examination.

Only those who work hard can reach the key point.

"Okay, let's not talk, you haven't announced the good news to your sister, have you? I won't bother you like a bad old man."

Teacher Xiao smiled and hung up the phone.

Teacher Xiao guessed right.

Zhou Ming did not tell his sister yet.

For him, the more important people are put last.

"My sister shouldn't be working now, right?"

Zhou Ming hesitated a little.

Every time he calls his sister, she is busy at work.

no matter when.

Every time I couldn't say a few words, I would hang up the phone because my sister was busy with work.

"Should I say a few more words this time?"

With anticipation in his heart, Zhou Ming pressed the row of numbers he knew by heart.

Each long beep was accompanied by an accelerated heartbeat.

beep--!

The phone was connected.

"Hey?"

With a bit of coldness and doubts.

It was my sister's voice.

Zhou Ming adjusted his breathing, and said cautiously: "Sister, it's me."

"Is there something Xiao Ming wants to do with me? Is it because the living expenses are not enough for this month? Do you want my sister to give you some more?"

My sister's voice still carried a unique coldness.

It sounds cold, but the concern is overflowing in the words.

Zhou Ming quickly refused: "No, no, I haven't used up my living expenses for last month! You don't need to call me for next month's living expenses!"

"You're going to college soon, how can that little living expenses be enough?" The elder sister's voice suddenly paused, "By the way, Xiao Ming, which college are you going to go to?"

A proud smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

The Naval Academy of course!

This is the goal he has worked hard and fought for for eight years!

But before he could say it, he heard his sister's urgent voice: "I'm sorry Xiao Ming, I'm here for work again, I'll call you back later!"

Hearing the busy tone from the phone being hung up, Zhou Ming's smile froze on his face.

He glanced at the call time.

Less than 2 minutes.

Although it was not unexpected, it was still a little disappointing.

Well, only a little bit.

Sighing, Zhou Ming began to edit the text message.

[I passed the preliminary screening of the Naval Academy, and I will work hard to read the study materials in the near future, and try to pass the second round of assessment!Finally, my sister's work must work hard! ]

Tapped send with his finger, and seeing the notification that the text message had been delivered, Zhou Ming threw the phone aside.

Sitting slumped on the chair, he stared at the ceiling for a long time without saying a word.

The depression didn't last long, Zhou Ming patted his face vigorously to cheer himself up.

"Don't waste time, you still have to study!"

Concentrating his complicated thoughts, Zhou Ming opened the remaining [-]/[-] of the study materials and looked at them carefully.

He had to master the theoretical knowledge in the learning materials before September [-]st!

……

Early morning on August [-]rd.

Nine days have passed since the announcement of the Naval Academy preliminary screening results.

During these nine days, Zhou Ming seemed to have returned to the month before the college entrance examination.

Sleepless nights.

Although it is hard work, it is also rewarding.

The learning materials purchased from the proprietress can be regarded as memorized, and the rest of the time only needs to be consolidated every day.

"I have the clothes, the charger, and the notebook..."

Well-dressed Zhou Ming checked the final preparations.

He will embark on a journey to the third sea area today.

Although it is still early, if you appreciate the scenery and folk customs along the way, the day when you arrive at the Naval Academy will not be too bad.

After confirming that everything was packed, Zhou Ming pulled the suitcase and carried the schoolbag with study materials on his back.

Before going out, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his sister.

[Sister, I'm leaving for the third sea region! ]

The last text message sent to my sister has not received any reply as of today.

Zhou Ming put his phone back in his pocket, pulled the suitcase and left the home where he had lived for eight years with his schoolbag on his back.

"I am leaving!"

Linhai is very hot.

Dressed coolly, Zhou Ming walked in this strange and fresh city.

Lively yelling, crowds coming and going, all kinds of stalls.

Zhou Ming's footsteps were slow, and his curious eyes kept shuttling back and forth between the stalls on both sides of the street.

This is the stall market in Linhai.

Although different booths occupy different areas, we can also see the tacit order from them.

None of the stalls obstructed the normal passage of pedestrians.

From time to time, pedestrians stopped in front of the booth, picked up their favorite items in the warm greeting of the stall owner, or bought them decisively or left with regret.

Perhaps it was because of the proximity to the sea, and because it was easier for people living near the sea to deal with Jianniang, the booths were filled with either Jianniang's dolls or cute little jewelry, as well as some items of unknown significance.

Zhou Ming stood in front of the booth, staring at the dolls of Jian Niang.

He only knows the names of a small number of ship girls, and more ship girls who don't know their names.

Shaking his head, Zhou Ming turned and left.
