Chapter 410 New Year's Report Card

On the train back to Qichuan City, Mu Zhengguang helped Xu put the suitcase on the shelf.

Seeing the scenery on the train for a day and a night is like traveling. There is enough food, the people you like are around, and there is nothing else to do. It is relaxing and comfortable.

This time, Mu Zhengguang and Xu both bought the middle shop.

The last person you see before falling asleep and the first person you see after waking up are each other.

After waking up, Mu Zhengguang checked his balance. When the school started, the balance was 4070, which included the living expenses for September. He took one month's living expenses each in October, November, and December. He stayed in school for a short time in January, so he didn't ask for living expenses or transportation expenses. Now, the balance is 3575.

He categorized the various expenses incurred in recent months and made a simple estimate of the amount of each type of expenditure.

Normal meals, that is, three meals a day, or two meals a day. Meals, class gatherings at the beginning of the semester, club gatherings, gatherings with roommates, and gatherings with Xu outside the school. These two items, plus drinks, snacks, and fruits, cost about 3700 yuan.

Virtual consumption, such as the phone bills for two mobile phone cards, various memberships, and game recharges, is about 1000 yuan.

During this semester, I took a relatively long trip, which cost about 1100 yuan.

A hard sleeper train ticket costs about 400 yuan.

Other daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes, socks, data cables, other daily consumption, such as haircuts, car rides, bathing, laundry, and other less daily consumption, such as watching movies. The prices of these scattered small items are not easy to calculate, but can be reversed based on the results.

The living expenses for these four months totaled 8280 yuan, minus the sum of the four major items, 6200 yuan, minus the remaining money, about 1600 yuan, and 480 yuan. The price of small things is more than 480 yuan, because my parents occasionally send red envelopes, big red envelopes for festivals and small red envelopes for ordinary times, and the money added up to at least 400 yuan.

This semester, more than four months, excluding accommodation, tuition, and the first two days of school, my expenses totaled about 7100 yuan. This figure should be relatively accurate. I seem to have spent a lot of money! Where can I save some money? Will I travel in the second half of the semester? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. If so, the budget will definitely be more than 1000.

The train arrived at the station. The winter vacation was very long. During the vacation, Mu Zhengguang and Xu often met.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Mu Zhengguang's parents returned to town.

Mu Zhengguang's mother asked indirectly about his relationship with Xu.

Mu Zhengguang could understand what his mother meant. He had heard this kind of question more than once. At the beginning, when his classmates and roommates saw him and Xu walking together, they would pretend to be nonchalant and "casually mention it" in order to see how far the two had developed.

Mu Zhengguang's mother did not distrust her son. She knew that her son would give a negative answer. However, university was an unfamiliar environment for both her son and Xu.

In this strange environment, they will meet all kinds of people. Under the influence of these people and this environment, they may do things they would not do before. If something really happens, the one who will be hurt the most is not the son, but Xu, but this is not good news.

Mu Zhengguang told his mother in detail about his trip to Changbai Mountain and what happened in the early morning of New Year's Day.

Mu Zhengguang's mother confirmed her guess: her son did not do anything out of line with Xu, and Xu did the same to her son.

Mu Zhengguang told his mother the truth that Xu had once told him.

Mu Zhengguang's mother was completely relieved about the two people: Xu was not very old, but she understood a lot of principles. Regardless of whether she could act according to these principles, it was not a bad thing for her to understand more principles, and it was not a bad thing for her son to follow her. She was older than her son, and being older did have its advantages.

During this winter vacation, Xu faced a similar problem. Her response to her mother was also about past events and principles. The past events between the two of them were made clear, and the principles they knew were also made clear.

One day during the holiday, Mu Zhengguang and Xu met. Xu relayed the questions and answers to Mu Zhengguang, and Mu Zhengguang did the same.

This is where the two of them bear witness to each other and have a tacit understanding.

Winter vacation is over and the two return to school.

As the weather got warmer and the classes became fewer, Xu would go to Mu Zhengguang's classroom to take classes with him. However, there were too few girls in Mu Zhengguang's major, so every time she went, she would be quite conspicuous, so she didn't go very often.

There were no advanced professional courses in the first-year university curriculum, but there were some basic professional courses, such as engineering drawing. Although Xu did not visit the teacher often, she could understand the engineering drawing that the teacher was going to learn.

Mu Zhengguang would also take classes with Xu. Although both courses were engineering drawing, there were differences between the two, but the differences were not significant. As for other courses, the two would also learn from each other, regardless of whether they had taken the same class.

Most of the students who were familiar with Mu Zhengguang and Xu believed that the two had a pure love relationship: they would stay out all night, but they did not stay out just to sleep in the same bed. If they were keen on sleeping in the same bed, then they would not come back in the early morning of New Year's Day.

In addition to this incident, they also found other evidence: both of them were relatively conservative, whether it was their clothing, lifestyle, topics of conversation, the distance between them, and the distance between them and other opposite sexes, all of which could prove this.

April 4th was Xu's birthday. Mu Zhengguang gave Xu a sterling silver bracelet. The bracelet was not expensive, and only cost three days of living expenses.

On June 6, Saturday, Mu Zhengguang handed the printed college entrance examination papers to Xu.

The two of them sat in the study room and spent an afternoon finishing the science test paper, the math test paper, all the multiple-choice questions in the Chinese test paper, and all other questions in the English test paper except the listening and writing comprehension section.

After finishing the test, you need to mark the test papers and get the scores.

Mu Zhengguang's science score dropped significantly, to only 196. Xu's science score dropped even more, to only 182.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu's math scores were also significantly lower than the college entrance examination. Perhaps because they had studied advanced mathematics during college, both of them passed the math exam.

The accuracy of the two people's answers to the Chinese language questions was not much different from before.

As for the accuracy rate of English questions, it has increased compared with the past. The reason is that the English Level 4 test is coming soon. In the past month or so, Xu has been memorizing words, and Mu Zhengguang started memorizing words earlier under Xu's supervision and urging.

On June 6, the CET-17 exam ended.

On June 6, the province where Qichuan City is located announced the college entrance examination results.

That afternoon, Mu Zhengguang saw the school's transcripts in the exam application Q&A group. The transcripts distinguished between the current year and the previous year, and he paid special attention to the scores of the previous year students, and discussed this with Xu in the study room.

"It turns out that among our junior high school classmates, the one with the highest score was not Liu Qinhui, but Wang Jintao. He repeated a year and his score went from 585 to 675."

Last year, Liu Qinhui ranked among the top 30 in the county. This year, Wang Jintao ranked among the top 10 in the county.

"Repeating a year has increased his score by 90 points, which is good. His hard work has paid off." At this time, Xu no longer cared about the score. It was difficult for him to even meet the group of people back then, so why bother comparing his scores with them? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
In one year, increasing 90 points is worth celebrating, but it is not worthy of envy. I will not choose this. The school, major and environment I am in are already very good.
