The past few days since Yi Zhonghai's return have been relatively stable. He went to work steadily every day and did not see any movement after get off work.
Zhang Zhifei followed Yi Zhonghai for a few days and found that there was no action, so he gave up. He knew that it was not a problem to keep staring at Yi Zhonghai. .
As the saying goes, when soldiers come, the water will come and the earth will cover it up. Yi Zhonghai's tricks are only a few times. As long as he pays attention, he is still afraid of Yi Zhonghai, whose reputation is a little bit bad.
One week after the exam, Zhang Zhifei went to school again. Today was the day for the students to take pictures of their graduation certificates. Everyone was in a high mood. Many people had never had their pictures taken before!
We went to school early. Zhang Zhifei and the others were majoring in mechanics. There were only three female classmates in the whole department, and they were all big and round, and they were friends with everyone.
Everyone took pictures together and wrote blessings to each other. Everyone left their own information, maybe we will meet in the future.
In the afternoon, all the students gathered for a dinner in the school cafeteria. Even the cafeteria cook, whose hands usually shook like a Parkinson's patient, cured her hand tremors today and gave everyone a full meal.
After the dinner party, when Zhang Zhifei returned home, it was already past 8 pm. The eldest sister, Zhang Lili, has already had dinner with her younger brothers and sisters.
He didn't tell them about his upcoming graduation from a technical secondary school, and decided to tell them when he got his diploma.
Time flies so fast, and before I know it, my sister Zhang Lili’s junior high school career is coming to an end.
She will usher in the most important moment in her life, that is, the high school entrance examination. Whether she passes or fails, her future life will be completely different.
Although Zhang Lili's studies are not as abnormal as her younger brother Zhang Zhiguo's, she is still at the forefront of her grade.
It was almost certain that she would be admitted to a technical secondary school. Even so, Zhang Zhifei could see that his sister was under a lot of pressure and was studying day and night.
Zhang Zhifei also persuaded her to relax her stress, but the effect was not great, so he could only supplement her nutrition in various ways to prevent her body from collapsing.
Don't make any progress in your studies but your body collapses. That will be a big trouble.
On the day of the high school entrance examination, Zhang Zhifei specifically asked for leave from the factory and did not go to work.
He decided to accompany his sister to take the high school entrance examination at this important moment to prevent her from being too stressed and affecting her performance.
The night before the high school entrance examination, my sister and others had already gone to bed. Zhang Zhifei organized his sister's exam equipment again to prevent missing important items such as admission tickets.
The next day, Zhang Zhifei got up early and prepared millet porridge, eggs, steamed buns, and fried shredded potatoes for his sister. The meal was reasonably nutritious and not greasy.
After the two had dinner, Zhang Zhifei took his sister on a bicycle to the school where the exam was held to take part in the most important exam in life - the high school entrance examination.
These days, the custom of accompanying children to take exams has not yet formed. There are only a few parents outside the exam room, and everyone has the same purpose. It is naturally easy to chat together while waiting for their children or younger siblings to take exams.
Everyone talked about the changes in Yanjing in the past two years, and they all felt sad. They didn't know when all this would end and social order could be restored as soon as possible.
During the chat, one person was a driver who was one of the eight members. He was well-informed and had traveled to most places across the country.
From his words, he learned that the Central Plains, Qingzhou, East China, Ganzhou, and Jin provinces were the most serious, and had affected more than 20 provinces and municipalities.
Zhang Zhifei had read information in his previous life. In the past three years, natural disasters and man-made disasters had caused widespread famine, and people died of starvation all over the land. However, he only read the information and had no intuitive feelings.
The driver told a story. Around March this year, he was transporting things to Qingzhou and found that people in many places could only eat corn cobs, locust flowers, and locust tree leaves. Their eyes were so hungry that their eyes were swollen.
There are also people who bloat to death after eating Guanyin soil.
Only from his words did we know how serious the problem of this natural disaster was.
Everyone couldn't help but start to feel lucky that they were born in Yanjing. As the capital of Yanjing, the situation is pretty good. Although the food is not good, at least we can survive.
Zhang Zhifei was also very sad. As an ordinary person, even if he wanted to change this predicament, he was unable to do anything and could only try to raise his younger brothers and sisters to grow up.
After a day of exams, Zhang Zhifei noticed that his sister looked tired, but could not hide the brilliance in her eyes, so he knew that she must have done well in the exam.
Although he had this idea in his heart, he did not ask about his sister's exam status. He did not want to put too much pressure on his sister.
After returning home in the evening, my sister Zhang Lili took the initiative and said, "Brother, I have answered all the questions. I should be able to pass the exam this time."
Zhang Zhifei smiled happily and said: "Okay, what do you want to eat today? I will celebrate your success."
Zhang Lili said: "Brother, let's save a little. Our food is already very good. You should save your money to marry me a sister-in-law!"
Zhang Zhifei rubbed his sister Zhang Lili's head and said with a smile: "I'm a brat. I'm not old enough to get married yet. What are you busy with!"
Zhang Lili looked at her eldest brother, her eyes were red, and she said gratefully: "Brother, the three of us are the fault of you, causing you to come back before finishing technical secondary school."
"You, stop thinking about these things, your brother is about to become a real technical secondary school student."
"Brother, what is going on?" my sister Zhang Lili asked curiously.
"My brother took the school's exam a few days ago and passed the exam. The school has informed me that he will be allowed to graduate. When the time comes, he will go to the school with other students to receive the diploma. After I get the diploma in a few days, I will go to school with the other graduates. Just like technical secondary school students, they are also serious technical secondary school students.”
"Really? That's great!" Zhang Lili was even more excited and happy than Zhang Zhifei himself.
"You, by the way, you are going to study that major."
"Brother, I want to study medicine, and I don't want what happened to my mother to happen again." Looking at his sister's firm eyes, Zhang Zhifei knew that there was no way to change his sister's character. Once she decided, she couldn't get it back.
Zhang Zhifei knew how hard it was to persuade people to study medicine, but since his sister had already made her decision, she could not change it, so he had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, he signed in and gained basic medical skills, and he was able to provide some help to his sister Zhang Lili.
"Studying medicine is hard. If you want to study medicine, you should finish high school and then take the medical university entrance examination." Zhang Zhifei said.
"No, I will go to a technical secondary school in a health school. I am not afraid of studying. I can continue studying after working." Zhang Lili rejected her eldest brother's suggestion. She wanted to work early to help her brother raise her younger siblings.
"You, don't regret it." Seeing that his sister had made up her mind, Zhang Zhifei did not force her to finish high school and then take the medical college entrance examination.
After his sister finished the exam, he no longer had to go to school. He was responsible for cooking dinner for the family. Zhang Zhifei felt a lot more relaxed. After more than ten days, his sister went to the alley every day to wait for his notice.
On this day, Zhang Zhifei packed up neatly early in the morning and prepared to go to school to receive his diploma.
After getting his diploma, he can go to the steel rolling mill to change his files and become a formal clerk directly. He can also get back the job he took over, so his family will have two jobs.
It’s beautiful to think about!
