Crush in pairs

Time passed amid the laughter of several people, and finally it was their turn. They entered the temple gate, and everyone went to receive incense, then entered the first Heavenly King Hall, knelt down in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue, saluted respectfully, and Incense sticks in the incense burner.

Xia Yifei looked at the pilgrims around and said, "Is it okay to plug in here? They went up with incense, should we go up too?"

Xin Jian said: "It's okay, my grandma said that sincerity leads to success." He used to accompany grandma to burn incense, so he knew the process of burning incense very well.

After burning the incense, several people went up to visit again. After coming out, Tong Yi said, "Let's find a place to eat."

Zhao Shuhang said: "Is there a place to eat this New Year's Day?"

"Although there are few, there are still some." Tong Yi said, "Let's look for it."

There are not even taxis outside, and a few people had to take the bus to go back. Yantian is not considered prosperous. During the Chinese New Year, there will be fewer people and fewer shops.After searching around, there was no place to eat, Tong Yi said: "My house is the closest, go to my house for dinner. I'll call my mother and ask her to prepare it."

Zhao Shuhang said: "We didn't prepare anything. It's not good to go to your house empty-handed for New Year's Eve."

Tong Yi smiled and said, "What's the matter? Children here in Guangdong ask for red envelopes for New Year's greetings, so they are still empty-handed?"

Xia Yifei smiled and said, "No, I came out early this morning, and I didn't go out to ask for red envelopes much."

Tong Yi said: "Don't worry, my grandpa and my parents will definitely have red envelopes too. Be sweeter, you are indispensable."

So the three "children" had the cheek to go to Tong Yi's house to ask for red envelopes.

At the end of the day, Xin Jian suggested to go to the supermarket and buy some fruit. After all, it is not good to go empty-handed.Fortunately, other places are closed, but the supermarket is still open.

Tong Yi's family naturally welcomed them warmly when they came to pay New Year's greetings. Tong Yi's house was also very lively. His parents and grandfather were there, as well as his aunt's family who came from his hometown, that is, Tong Yi's cousin Yuan Dian's family. , Yuan Dian's grandparents are gone, the only elder left in the family is his grandpa, and he spends the New Year with his elders. According to Tong Yi, the two families have celebrated the New Year together for several years.

The three guys paid New Year's greetings to their elders and received several red envelopes, from Grandpa Tong, Yi Tong's parents, Aunt Tong Yi, and cousin Yuan Dian from Tong Yi, because the custom of the Cantonese is that as long as they are not married Yes, they all got red envelopes, so everyone received four or five red envelopes, and the three of them felt embarrassed because they were eating and drinking for nothing.

Tong Yi's mother, Fan Yiqing, cooks for them.Xin Jian chatted with the elders of Tong Yi's family. Tong Sinian was a taciturn elder, but Tong Yi's uncle was very good at chatting. He was a bit of a typical northerner, straightforward and cheerful. Inquire clearly.

When Tong Yi returned home, she leaned on the sofa, ate nuts and watched TV, and said nothing lazily. Xin Jian ate chocolate to fill her stomach. It's reeling.

The chocolates of Tong Yi's family were made in China from some unknown place. Each piece of chocolate has a different taste. Xin Jian was just trying different flavors like a child. Tong Yi stretched out his finger and poked him on the back: "You Eat less sugar, you won’t be able to eat for a while.”

Xin Jian turned to look at him: "This is not sweet, do you want to try it?"

Tong Yi handed him some hazelnuts: "Do you eat hazelnuts?"

Xin Jian said, "It's hard to peel off."

Tong Yi bared her teeth: "You're just lazy."

Yuan Dian still had an impression of Xin Jian, so he said to Xin Jian, "You go to burn incense, are there many people?"

Xin Jian said, "There are quite a lot."

"Can I ask for a lottery?" Yuan Dian asked.

Xin Jian shook her head: "No."

Yuan Dian said, "If you want to ask for a signature, do you know where to ask for it?"

Xin Jian said, "Phoenix Mountain is fine."

Tong Yi looked at his cousin with a smile: "Sister, do you still need to ask for a lottery? What kind of lottery are you asking for? Marriage lottery?"

Yuan Dian gave him a white look: "Go, kids, don't worry about adults' business. Are you going to burn incense today for your studies or for love?"

Xin Jian said, "Of course I want to study."

The child Xia Yifei said honestly: "We also asked for luck."

Yuan Dian looked at Tong Yi: "You begged too?"

Tong Yi looked uncomfortable, and said, "What's wrong with me asking for luck?"

Yuan Dian showed an ambiguous look: "Hey, our little monk is also in love."

Xin Jian suppressed a smile: "Why is Tong Yi called a little monk?"

Yuan Dian laughed loudly: "My grandfather took Tong Yi to a monastery to play. An old monk took a fancy to Tong Yi and insisted on my grandfather giving him Tong Yi as his disciple. How could my grandfather be willing to accept Tong Yi in the end? He is a registered disciple, so he has the nickname of Little Monk."

Xin Jian and Zhao Shuhang laughed, and Tong Yi showed an angry look on his face: "Okay, if you don't talk, people won't treat you as dumb!"

Yuan Dian laughed until his shoulders kept shaking.Xin Jian said, "I really didn't see that you have a connection with Buddhism."

Tong Yi was about to say something, but Fan Yiqing said, "You guys came over for dinner, what are you enjoying?"

Tong Yi said: "It's nothing, let's go, go to eat. Grandpa and uncle, do you want to eat?"

Grandpa Tong said: "We have already eaten, you can eat."

Fan Yiqing's cooking skills are very good. Although these dishes are a bit rough compared to the southerners, they still have a special taste. Everyone has been hungry for a long time, so they taste very delicious.

After dinner, several people went upstairs to visit Tong Yi's room again. Both Zhao Shuhang and Xia Yifei came back to Tong's house for the first time, and they were amazed at the luxury of his house. Living in such a wide house, so close to the school, it is unimaginable to live in the school and live in such a narrow dormitory with a few of them.

Xia Yifei said, "Ayi, your home is so close to the school, why do you still live in the school?"

Tong Yi said: "There's nothing wrong with living on campus. Didn't I meet your friends?"

Xia Yifei lay down on Tong Yi's big bed: "But the home is so comfortable, I wouldn't want to live on campus."

Tong Yi didn't mind either: "Everything has gains and losses. At the beginning, my parents asked me to live in school, saying that I could suffer a little bit and exercise."

Xin Jian was listening, and it turned out that this was the case, and she really didn't live in his dormitory on purpose, the fate is really wonderful.

On the first day of junior high school, I played at Tong Yi's house for a day, and on the second day of junior high school, I went to pay New Year's greetings to my grandma.Classes started again on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and he took a break of more than a week during the winter vacation. He didn't go anywhere except Tong Yi's house and grandma's house during the Chinese New Year. He spent the rest of the time doing homework every day.

Grandma saw her grandson working so hard, and said to the guests with a smile, "Our Ah Jian is taking the first prize, and we don't rest during Chinese New Year."

From the eighth day of junior high school, senior high school students started school. Xin Jian was reviewing according to the original plan. By February, she had sorted out all the key points of knowledge, and then began to conduct systematic review training.In the mock exam shortly after the start of school, Xin Jian improved a lot compared to the original score. The mock exam score reached more than 640 points. Tong Yi said that if things go on like this, there should still be room for improvement.

For the remaining two months, Xin Jian spent the endless sea of ​​questions. As Tong Yi said, he achieved qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.Everyone is in the same state as him, and they are all swimming in the sea of ​​questions. In Li Zupeng's words, if you don't fight now, you will wait when.Among them, Zhao Shuhang was the first to be liberated. In late March, he received admission letters from two universities in the UK. Since September last year, he has been busy applying. Until March, what he was worried about The matter finally settled.It was also the first to get out of the bitter sea of ​​the college entrance examination.

Everyone is envious but also a little reluctant. It will not be easy to see Brother Hang in the future. Although the transportation is convenient now, it is far away from the ocean and the time is not uniform. It is really not easy to see each other.

By the time of the last mock exam in May, Xin Jian's score had reached more than 670 points. When she usually did the mock questions by herself, she was better at [-], and almost [-].For Xin Jian, this achievement has already made great progress.

When filling out the application form, Xin Jian hesitated. With his current grades, it is not a problem for him to be admitted to any first-class university, but it is still a bit risky to be admitted to a top university. Without internal care, at most he can only go to Sun Yat-sen University.This is too far away from Tong Yi, one is in the south and the other is in the north, does he still have a chance?

The school was on holiday on the day of filling in the application form. The teachers said that they asked the students to go back to discuss with their families. Xin Jian did not go back because there was no one at home to provide constructive advice. Grandma would definitely let him stay in Guangdong, while Xin Yongtao felt that , any university is fine, as long as he can go to a university, and a key university is even better, he doesn't lack anything, all he wants is face, and he doesn't know what Xin Jian needs at all.

Everyone went back, and Xin Jian lay alone on the bed in the dormitory, looking up the admissions scores of Peking University over the years on the Internet, to see how likely she was to get into Peking University with this score.After browsing for a while, he put down his phone again. According to the results of his last mock exam, the chance of getting into Peking University is less than half. With such a result, it is too risky to fill in Peking University.If you apply for National People's University, Science and Engineering, etc., you will be guaranteed, but these universities will definitely not accept second-choice students.Why don't you apply to Peking University, it's too risky, you can't be in the same school as Tong Yi, at least you have to be in the same city.

Just as Xin Jian made up her mind, she heard two knocks on the door. Xin Jian raised her head and looked at Tong Yi who was at the door: "Why are you back?"

Tong Yi said at the same time: "I knew you didn't go back."

Xin Jian sat up, looked down at Tong Yi condescendingly, and smiled at him: "Did you fill it out?"

Tong Yi nodded: "Yes. What about you?"

Xin Jian shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Tong Yi stood beside Xin Jian's bed, raised his head and looked at him: "What major are you going to declare?"

Seeing that he didn't ask what school she was applying for, Xin Jian said, "You mean Peking University?"

Tong Yi nodded, and Xin Jian said, "I just checked my grades online. The scores in the past few years were all very high. I'm worried that I won't be able to get in this grade."

Tong Yi said: "Don't worry, as long as you play normally, I believe there will be no problem."

"However, the minimum admission score in the past two years has reached [-]. I don't think I can get that many points." Xin Jian was a little bit lacking in confidence.

Tong Yi said: "Have you forgotten what policy this year has?"

Xin Jian looked into his eyes: "What?"

Tong Yi said: "The country has canceled all extra points. There are no extra points for three-good students, outstanding cadres, athletes, scientific and technological inventions, and competition awards. I think this kind of extra points policy is here, at least It can screen out a large number of people, and if you can reach [-] in the naked test, your chances of getting into Peking University are still very high.”

Xin Jian blinked: "Is that so?"

Tong Yi smiled and said, "Of course it's true, report it, I believe you can do it."

Xin Jian was still worried: "What if I don't pass the exam?"

"Don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam." Tong Yi seemed to have never thought about Xin Jian's failure to pass the exam.

Xin Jian changed the way of asking: "Then what is the second choice?"

Tong Yi laughed: "Then you can report to Sun Yat-Sen University, don't worry, our province will not let high-scoring students fail."

Xin Jian said a little depressed: "But Zhongshan is not in Beijing."

Tong Yi smiled very happily: "So I will definitely go to Peking University. Fill it out, the second choice is just in case."

Encouraged by Tong Yi, Xin Jian nervously filled in the communication and information system of Peking University.He closed his eyes and handed in the volunteer form. Now that he had no way out, he could only grit his teeth and rush forward.

When it was time to fill in the application form, Xin Jian realized that he had no special hobbies. He wanted to do business in the future, and learning management might be good, but the admission scores of Guanghua School of Management were frighteningly high every year. , this is probably not unpopular, but things have come to this point, we must learn something practical and useful, we can't go to college just to go to college.

Not long after the application was submitted, the college entrance examination was ushered in. Not long after the phoenix flowers withered, the phoenix trees covered the sky with thick shade, filtering out the sunshine in June, and the sea breeze brought the coolness of summer.Xin Jian has already entered a state of selflessness. After struggling for more than a year, it is finally coming to an end. What will happen?

This year's exam questions are not difficult. Xin Jian found that every question seemed to be something he had done before or a similar type of question, and he didn't feel stuck at all. The review syllabus is too targeted, anyway, he has a feeling of ease.This state has been maintained until the end of the exam. After the exam, there is still a feeling of unfinished business.

After the college entrance examination, a few friends got together to answer the questions. Xin Jian only listened to what they said, but she didn't speak. Tong Yi bumped him with the shoulder: "Why don't you talk, are you stupid in the exam?"

Xin Jian smiled at Tong Yi: "Hey, I think the college entrance examination seems to be very easy."

Li Zupeng jumped up and grabbed Xin Jian's neck: "You kid, you're provoking me on purpose!" He checked the answers just now, and there were a few big questions with different numbers from Tong Yi's, and he was feeling uneasy.

Xin Jian giggled: "Don't worry, Ah Peng, if you had the same answers as Tong Yi, you would already be a top student. Don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam."

Li Zupeng sighed: "My little heart is really rolling up and down in a frying pan, it's too difficult. I thought I would be relieved after the exam, but I didn't expect the answer to be a pair, so I can't be relieved."

Xin Jian waved his hand: "Don't think about anything. After the exam, you should relax. Let's talk about everything after the results come out. Let's talk first, where are we going to play tomorrow?"

Xia Yifei stretched his waist: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to sleep." These days, everyone is exhausted and needs a good rest.

Tong Yi said: "Let me make a suggestion, go to Guangming Farm to go grass skiing tomorrow, if you can wake up, go."

Xia Yifei wailed: "Great God, you really have an iron body, I'm really convinced!"

Tong Yi said: "Now I am mentally exhausted, and tomorrow I will be physically exhausted. I have to play until I am physically and mentally exhausted, and then go to rest. It is guaranteed to be the same as rebirth."

Xin Jian smiled and agreed: "Anyway, I'm going."
