At four o'clock in the afternoon, the school announced the re-examination list, and the names of Li Wei and Tang Shiyun were on the list.

The next day is the re-examination. Compared with the initial examination, the re-examination is more rigorous and there is a camera filming on the spot. The manuscripts I read were all press releases filled with various professional terms.

Li Wei calmly walked out of the examination room. It was already raining lightly outside. She glanced down from the window and saw her elder brother waiting for her in the open space holding a black umbrella.

Li Wei wondered why he didn't wait indoors when the weather was so cold. Li Wei hurried downstairs. When Li Jianping saw that she finally came out, he asked worriedly: "How is it? Are you sure?"

Li Wei said: "It's okay."

Li Jianping knew that when his sister said it was okay, it meant there was definitely no problem. He smiled and patted Li Wei's head gently and said, "I wish your wishes will come true."

"The results haven't been announced yet. If I fail..."

Li Jianping said hurriedly: "Don't say such depressing words. Congratulations on crossing another hurdle. Let's go to dinner. We must have a good meal today."

The brother and sister were walking out of the school gate, and someone behind them was shouting: "Li Wei! Li Wei!"

Li Wei turned around and saw that it was Tang Shiyun. There was no one around Tang Shiyun, and she didn't hold an umbrella. She was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, and her stockings were still stained with a lot of mud.

"Is your manuscript difficult?"

"Okay, it's a financial report, what about you?"

Tang Shiyun's lips turned a little white: "I was unlucky. I got a sports manuscript. It was full of foreign names. The names were too long, and there were a lot of them. I mispronounced several of them. I guess I’m cold.”

Li Wei comforted her: "Don't be depressed, you didn't pass even if you didn't say anything. Even serious announcers sometimes mispronounce their lines."

Tang Shiyun was still very depressed. She had obviously given such high hopes, but she didn't expect such a result. Now I have to pack up my mood and go back to prepare for the college entrance examination.

When the three of them left the gate of Nanyin School, Li Wei saw that Tang Shiyun was unaccompanied, so he asked Tang Shiyun where he lived and if he wanted to send her there. Tang Shiyun waved her hand and said, "No need. Someone will come to pick me up."

Not long after she finished speaking, a silver-gray car stopped in front of them, the door opened, and Tang Shiyun waved goodbye to Li Wei and the others.

Li Wei and Li Jianbo were dumbfounded. This was a child from a wealthy family.

Tang Shiyun got in the car, and her mother was sitting in the back seat. Seeing that her daughter was not in good condition, she asked coldly: "What, did you fail the test?"

Tang Shiyun stubbornly tightened her mouth and said nothing. Her mother had already seen what her daughter was thinking. She patted the back of her daughter's hand gently and said: "Okay, how big of a deal is it for you to be like this? You can't stand a little setback? Don't speak when you go back. I will Tell your father carefully. Then review your homework with peace of mind and prepare for the college entrance examination in July. "

Li Jianping took Li Wei to a foreign fast food restaurant for Coke, chicken wings, burgers, and French fries. These things were amazing when I first ate them, but after I ate them a lot, they didn’t make much sense.

After dinner, the brother and sister returned to the small hotel. Li Jianping discussed with Li Wei: "It's time to pack up and go to another university. I'll go buy the ticket first, you wait here for me."

Ningjiang University is in Xinwu and is another university in Li Wei's plan. Fortunately, there are many buses from Lincheng to Xinwu and it is very convenient. It only takes half a day to get there from here.

Ningjiang University is less famous than Nanyin University, and its admission scores have been lower over the years. This is Li Wei's second choice, which is naturally not as important as his first choice.

The process and content of the exam were similar, and Li Wei was performing normally.

After taking the exam in Ningjiang, the brother and sister discussed it and planned to take a good tour of Xinwu tomorrow and buy some local specialties. It was also a long trip.

"Wei, the two schools you want to apply to are good, but they are both too far from home. You are really cruel."

Li smiled and said: "It's already now, and my eldest brother still says such things, shouldn't you give me your full support?"

"You were born at a good time. Your family can support you in going to college, and your future is bright. It's not like when I was a few years ago. Firstly, I was ignorant, and secondly, my family was poor." Li Jianping said in the past two days While walking around the university, these emotions suddenly came to my mind.

"Brother, in fact, you don't have to belittle yourself. My second brother also told me before that there are many paths to take in life, and studying is just one of them. You are only in your early twenties now. Compared with many people who are still using their parents' food to eat, Parents, isn’t it great that you are able to be self-reliant?”

Li Wei's words still comforted Li Jianping to some extent. The brother and sister discussed where to go to play tomorrow, and Li Wei took out her newly bought tourist map to study it.

She had always wanted to go for a walk around Taihu Lake. So what if she was the Queen Mother in the past? She had to worry about the little emperor and had to occasionally intervene in government affairs. She never had a free time. Even if she wanted to go out, the high palace wall would block her and she couldn't get out. Now that I finally have a trip out, I have to go and have a look and gain some knowledge.

Li Wei only hopes that there will be good weather tomorrow.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up early the next day. She seemed to be in a higher mood than Li Jianping, but spring had not really arrived at this time, and even the willow trees had not sprouted yet. The place they are going to is Yuantouzhu.

Although it is still cold and cold in spring, the elegant small bridges and flowing water, and the evergreen trees all year round, are like a natural picture.

The Spring Festival has just come to an end, and not many people come to travel. Li Wei's temperament likes to be quiet, so it's a good time to play when there are few people. Li Jianping bought two tickets, and the brother and sister boarded the cruise ship.

This was an ordinary painting boat. Li Wei sat on the beauty's side and looked out the window. His eyes were full of the rippling blue water of the lake, facing the golden sunshine, like stars all over the sky twinkling.

Li Jianping's eyes were also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was used to seeing the wild scenery in the countryside. Being in such scenery felt like he was in a dream.

"Brother, what do you think of this place?"

Li Jianping didn't read many books, and he was also a little short of words. He couldn't come up with some gorgeous words. He just said: "It feels like traveling in a painting. It feels incredible."

Li smiled and said: "No." She regretted buying a camera early, otherwise she would have captured the beautiful scenery in front of her one by one.

After getting off the boat, we came to Yuantouzhu's Shili Fangjing. Although the season is still a little early, some early spring plum blossoms have quietly bloomed, adding a touch of moving color to the somewhat bleak early spring.
