Ordinary countryside reborn

Wushan Village.

The biting cold wind howled, and the surroundings were covered with snow.

A bus dropped off two passengers at the bridge and drove away.

"I'm finally back, hiss...it's so cold in the village!" Li Mei wore a thick cotton jacket and wrapped herself tightly.

On the way back, Li Mei once again experienced the temperature difference from summer to winter in one day, so she put on more clothes in the car several times.

She carried her painting bag and suitcase and looked at the village across the river. She felt the local atmosphere and felt friendly, relaxed, at ease, and a little fresh.

"It's too cold. Let's go back quickly. I hope dad hasn't gone out to visit now." Tian Yuan got off the car, picked up his luggage and started jogging.

Li Mei didn't hold out much hope, "How can your dad be so diligent when I'm not at home? I'm afraid he went to someone else's house to warm up by the fire."

The bridge was covered with snow, and both of them exhaled "white air". Their feet stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound.

There is no way to walk on the path. If you are not careful, you will slip into the field. Although the surface is frozen, it cannot bear the weight of a person. Tianyuan has experience in this matter. She often took shortcuts and fell into the field when she was a child. inside.

In this kind of weather, there are not many adults on the road. Most of them stay at home and warm themselves by the fire. Only children are not afraid of the cold, playing snowball fights and building snowmen outside.

Breathing the cold air all the way home, Tian Yuan breathed heavily and stepped on the stones in front of the side door to push open the door and go in.

Tian Zhi heard the sound and turned his head to look over, surprised: "Yuanyuan is back, where is your mother?"

"It's in the back." Tianyuan put down his things and went out to help Li Mei get her luggage.

Tian Zhi stood up quickly, and Wang Gui and Wang Fangjun who were visiting also looked towards the door.

The rocks were a little slippery, so Li Mei was pulled up by the two of them and said happily: "Oh, I'm finally home."

She put her luggage aside, and when she saw the two people by the fire pit, they exchanged greetings. Without talking in detail, Wang and Gui said a few words with a wink and stood up to leave, leaving space for their family.

Tian Yuan pushed his luggage back to the room. Tian Zhi added a few bamboo slices to the fire pit to make the fire burn brighter. He looked at Li Mei and teased her with a smile.

"You look fashionable, and your hair is so straight. You gained a lot of knowledge this time outside, right?"

Li Mei sat by the fire pit to warm herself up, and smiled lightly: "It's not bad. I went to a few places, visited two universities, and had two meals in the university's cafeteria."

She sighed: "It's just that the meals in this university are too long, and I'm not used to it."

She rubbed her warmed hands, "Besides, those universities are too big, and my feet hurt when I walk..."

Tian Zhi: "..."

This is a naked show off.

It won't stop until it lasts for a few days.

Ever since the neighbors knew that Li Mei was back, people came to look for her every day.

There was nothing to do in the middle of winter. Who wouldn't go around looking for someone to chat with? They could talk about all the old millet and rotten sesame seeds in the village endlessly, not to mention that there was something new in Li Mei's place.

Everyone who came had to touch Li Mei's newly bought sweaters and leather shoes, and listen to her talk about the different things or things she had seen outside and how wonderful the outside world was. Is it really like what is shown on TV? Everyone outside is beautiful...

Li Mei warmly entertained the neighbors and was very willing to answer their questions.

Seeing the envy in everyone's eyes, Li Mei felt filled with satisfaction. The happiest person is Tian Yu. Every day she takes the electronic watch and stuffed toys Tianyuan bought her and goes out to play with friends. She is no longer the Tian Yu who didn’t like to make friends.

The school had already finished its winter vacation. Tian Yuan returned to school and gave some specialties to Zhang Guoqiang's family. Wang Hongping kept asking him to greet him for a long time. Zhang Huijie had a lot of questions and couldn't resist his kindness. He didn't leave until after lunch.

Before leaving, I asked Zhang Guoqiang where Teacher Wu and Teacher Huang lived, and brought two bags of specialties to them.

Teacher Wu was a little surprised when she saw Tianyuan. She didn't expect that she would come here at this time. He quickly took the gift from her hand. Before he had time to look at it, he first paid attention to Tianyuan's art exam.

"How's it going? Do you feel very confident about passing the exam?"

Tian Yuan said modestly: "It's okay. There should be no problem with it most likely."

Teacher Wu liked such good children who loved to tell the truth, and he was immediately relieved. Now that the exam is over, Teacher Wu also asked what he had always wanted to ask.

"Why don't you try CAFA or other better art academies?"

"There are not many art students who don't want to take the Central Academy of Fine Arts exam, and your cultural scores are not bad either. You can definitely give it a try."

No. 4 Middle School has yet to produce a single student who has been admitted to CAFA.

Mainly because there are only two or three students taking the school exam each year, and sometimes even none. Even if they take the exam, everyone will only choose the nearest school to try. The expenses along the way are not something students from a poor place like them can afford.

In No. 4 Middle School, Central America existed only in the legend of art students, and no one would touch it.

Teacher Wu sighed slightly in his heart, the cost of learning art is too high.

Tianyuan shook his head: "I can't get into Central America, so I don't want to waste my time. I might as well choose the school that suits me best."

"I checked, and the two schools I applied for are also among the top ten domestic art academies."

Although she is an art student, she does not have too many attachments to CAFA. The main reason is that she knows that she does not have that much artistic talent. She continues to choose this major just because of her personal hobby, and it can also improve her artistic accomplishment and cultivate her sentiments.

The key point is that it would be difficult for her to get into a better university based on her cultural achievements alone.

She was just reborn, not transformed into Long Aotian.

Central America is in the capital. I have only been to Tianyuan once in my previous life, so I am not familiar with it. There are also big differences in food culture and living environment between the north and the south. Therefore, the two universities where she took the art exam this time are both in the south.

Teacher Wu looked at Tianyuan with admiration.

Appreciating a wise, knowing those out.

Tianyuan's professional scores are still good, and his cultural scores are among the top ten in the class, but he is only in No. 4 Middle School. The best high schools in their town are No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, not to mention there are so many famous high schools across the country.

It is a very restrained and rational approach for Tianyuan to stay clear-headed, not blindly choose the school that everyone thinks is the best, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

Not to mention students of her age, it is difficult for many adults to do it.

Thinking about it this way, Teacher Wu appreciates Tianyuan even more.

I left Teacher Wu's house and went to Teacher Huang's house again. This time I didn't stay too long because it was getting late and it was getting dark when I left school.

Liu Meixiang had closed the stall long ago. When Tian Yuan came over in the morning, she went to the noodle shop to reconcile the accounts for the past six months. Because the weather was cold and business was relatively average, Tian Yuan had told her not to go back too late.
