Ordinary countryside reborn
Chapter 176 Borrowing Money
There are always a few in a class who get good grades and work very hard, and there are also a few who seem to be at the top even though they don't work hard.
Examination ranking is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
In order not to fall behind, Tianyuan became addicted to answering questions. She has finished all the exercise books she bought this time, and is planning to buy some different question types to do during the holidays.
After another week of intense study after the midterm exam, the school announced a monthly holiday.
Tianyuan went to the dormitory to pack things. Xia Wen was lying on the bed and shut up. When she heard the rustling sound, she got up and watched Tianyuan pack her clothes quietly. After a while, Xia Wen asked in confusion: "Tianyuan, What do you think I should do if I don’t get into college?”
Her exam was not ideal this time. There were more than 60 classmates in the class, and she ranked 47th. Her grades were worse than those in the first year of high school. She didn't dare to go back and tell her parents.
Tianyuan packed up his schoolbag and looked up at her, "There is still one year left to study cultural classes. It's not too late for you to work hard now."
"At worst, if you repeat your studies, it doesn't look like your family can afford you to repeat your studies."
Xia Wen was surprised: "There is at least one and a half years left, why is it only one year?"
Tianyuan, who has experienced the college entrance examination once, said: "Before the joint art entrance examination, the teacher will arrange for us to go to the city for training for a few months. After the joint entrance examination, we will have the last semester to study cultural knowledge in school."
Xia Wen was dumbfounded: "...How many months? You won't have to go to training camp as soon as the third year of high school starts, right?"
Tian Yuan nodded: "Absolutely. Now there are only one day of professional classes a week. Do you think you can take the college entrance examination just by painting in such a short time?"
Xia Wen immediately lay down on the bed and wailed: "I saw that their senior students were doing exams every day in the last semester. I can't keep up now. I'm afraid I will have to hand in blank papers every day in my senior year."
Tian Yuan carried her schoolbag to the door very ruthlessly, and finally looked back at her, "I'm leaving, please take care of me!"

The sky is getting dark, and people who have been busy in the fields all day are rushing home with hoes. Every house lights up, and the yellowish light shines from the windows, shining in the dark night.
Wushan Village, Tian Zhijia.
At the dinner table, the whole family gathers together. There are four dishes and one soup on the table, including meat and vegetables.
"My eldest brother plans to get married at the end of the year. My father said that he will build a new house for his two younger brothers. Let's see if the three sisters can support us. We will let the younger brothers pay back the amount we borrow."
Li Mei talked to Tian Zhi while eating.
"If there is one, I must borrow it. The two of them have helped our family a lot in the past, and they have come every time during the farming season."
Tian Zhi glanced at the three Tianyuan sisters, took a chopstick of meat and put it in his mouth, laughing at himself: "Otherwise, it would have been up to me and your mother, haha, we wouldn't even be able to eat!"
Tian Jing is the eldest, she is sensible early and knows the most; Tian Yu eats from time to time, as if listening to a story, but she can't do anything anyway; Tian Yuan quietly listens, waiting for the two adults to pave the way.Li Mei nodded and said: "Your father is right. You were still young and couldn't help much before. Your grandma was not in good health. I had to take care of the family and the outside. I was always too busy. Most of the work in the fields was He is the one who carries it.”
"Your dad is a hard worker, but he can't do it alone. It's better at ordinary times. If you two uncles didn't come to help during the busy farming season, your dad wouldn't be able to finish his work even if he was tired and sick, and he wouldn't be able to plant two crops of rice. Our family will go hungry."
"You also know that you can't count on your grandfather. He didn't help us at all when our family was so poor. Now we just pretend that he is no longer there."
Tian Zhi lowered his head to eat and did not argue. From now on, he would be the only one to honor his father, and his wife and children would definitely not care about Tian Dafu.
Speaking of the past, Li Mei sighed deeply and looked at her three grown-up daughters. Except for the youngest, Tian Jing and Tian Yuan, although they were still studying, they were all able to make money at home. She smiled happily: " Fortunately, I'm over it now, my family has gotten better and better in the past two years, and I can finally help your uncle."
Li Mei looked at Tianyuan and asked directly: "Yuanyuan, I have never asked you about the business you and your classmates are doing. How much money can you make in a month? Have you saved any money now?"
Tianyuan didn't answer directly. She asked instead: "Mom, how much money are you going to use to build a house for your uncles?"
Li Mei calculated in her mind, "Your grandfather has saved some money from working over the years. Your two uncles went out to work this year and earned several thousand...I did the math. I'm afraid your aunt's family doesn't have much money to spare. Our family Now I have more than 3000 in savings. Let's see how much you can get out. It would be better if you can get up to [-] to [-]."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he wanted too much, and Li Mei quickly said: "If it's not that much, forget it, just pay as much as you have."
When Tian Zhi heard this number, he frowned and said: "How much money Yuanyuan and her classmates can earn, they have to divide it between the two of them. If they really can't afford that much, just forget it. I'll see where I can borrow some in the village. I'll make more next year." Give the money back.”
Tian Zhi only thought that Tianyuan was still selling radishes like last year. Although it was a good business, the income was more than 200 yuan a month, which was comparable to raising a pig.But he didn't understand why Li Mei asked for three or four thousand, and she couldn't make that much by selling radishes in a year!
Tianyuan thought for a moment and said calmly: "Dad, there is no need to borrow it. I have it there, but I have saved it. I will transfer it in two days."
She glanced at Tian Jing and continued: "I originally wanted to save it to rent a shop for my sister. Now that my uncle wants to use it, I should give it to my uncle first."
She couldn't tell the actual situation now, so she could only vaguely explain it.
When it comes to his own affairs, Tian Jing, who was originally calm, immediately became anxious, "What about my store? Brother Jun hasn't been back for a long time, and he will probably find a place soon."
Tian Zhi was also stunned, "...where did you get so much money? You still have to go to school, how can you get so much money just by selling carrots from your classmate?"
Thinking of this, before telling Tian Zhi, Li Mei quickly explained: "She stopped selling radishes a long time ago. Now she sells ham, which makes more money than radishes."
Tian Zhi looked around and said angrily: "You don't want to tell me anything now?"
Li Mei glanced at him sideways: "This is a matter between Yuanyuan and her classmates. What's the use of telling you? Can you help or provide money and ideas? I can't help, so what can you do?" "
Tian Zhi: "..."
The money matter was settled. Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Tian Jing: "I asked you to give me all the money you earned, but I know you must have kept some. I won't ask you for it now, but If you spend it all lavishly, don’t ask me for money in the future.”
"We'll see about renting the store later. If you have money, rent it yourself. Your aunt doesn't have that much time to help you keep the store. You are on vacation now. You can go there early tomorrow morning."
Examination ranking is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
