Chapter 752: It’s not easy to go out to the countryside

Maybe this is the last night in my hometown in the countryside. It happens to be raining. There is a constant dripping sound outside the window. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner. The room is extremely cool. The furniture in the room was bought when I got married. Zhao Cui is here Probably only stayed for a few nights, but Ma Xiaoliang grew up here and spent his middle school years. Since going to college, he rarely lives here.For countless nights, under a lamp that was not very bright, and under the pressure of constant study, Ma Xiaoliang was suppressed for a long time and could only look out the window from inside the house countless times.

Although it is not far from the urban area of ​​Guanzhou, it is still a rural area. Even compared with the county town, there is still an unbridgeable gap.Since he was admitted to the best experimental high school in the county, Ma Xiaoliang has started living on campus, going home almost every half a month. By the time he was in his senior year of high school, he would go home basically once a month.The three years of high school passed by in a hurry, and there was not much comparison between classmates. What I cared about was basically my grades.Ma Xiaoliang had a map hanging in his room. When he couldn't bear the pressure anymore, he would stare at the cities on the map and think about the future.What teachers often said in high school was: "You will be free if you get into college!" There was even an English teacher who once specifically said: "Do you know which university is the best?" Many people called out Tsinghua University and Peking University. , but the teacher said with a bit of humor: "Suzhou and Hangzhou!" Hearing this, many people burst into laughter. Also, since ancient times, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangnan is famous for its beauties.

When it came time to actually take the college entrance examination, Ma Xiaoliang chose Suzhou University among the first batch of undergraduates, and among the second batch of undergraduate choices, he chose the business school, which was quite popular at the time, in Lanzhou.Lanzhou is located in the northwest. According to previous experience, it is rare for first-choice students to be admitted, but that year (2003) was extremely popular. Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics (the predecessor of Jiangnan University of Economics and Law), which applied for second-choice applicants, was not admitted. Unexpectedly, it slipped. Just when Ma Xiaoliang was thinking about repeating his studies, one hot afternoon, the phone rang at home. The other party was the Admissions Office of Shunde College, asking Ma Xiaoliang if he was interested, and gave the courses of Computer Science, Chinese Language and Literature, and Business Administration. Among the three majors, Ma Xiaoliang hesitated and chose business administration.

The reason why I don't want to repeat it is because the pressure is a bit high. Apart from family conditions, I want to go out and have a look.Shunde is in Jiangbei Province, not far from Guanzhou. When school started, Ma Xiaoliang's father went to deliver it. In his luggage were clothes from summer to winter, bedding and even dry food.When the train stopped at Shunde Station, Ma Xiaoliang, who walked out of Shunde Station, had the idea of ​​​​going back home. After all, compared with Guanzhou Station, Shunde Station is almost a small station. When he came to Shunde College, he looked at the school gate. Ma Xiaoliang was completely discouraged when he was still in high school, but he chose to report. Compared with these, Ma Xiaoliang was more afraid of repeating studies and worried about gains and losses. You must know that it is not easy for rural students to go out.Among those who grew up with him, only forty-five out of ten actually went to high school, and among those who finally entered college, there were only three people in the village in that class, and Ma Xiaoliang was one of them.There are no extracurricular remedial classes, no tutors, and no audio-visual software, only myself.
