"After talking about the college entrance examination, let's talk about the junior high school entrance examination. According to the information I have inquired, there are two ways after the junior high school entrance examination. One is to continue to study and then take the university entrance examination. Reading М

Or go directly to a vocational school, saving three years of high school time, and you can also start working three years earlier." Teacher Ding introduced slowly.

"Doesn't that mean you have to work at the age of 18?" A parent exclaimed.

After all, those who can afford to buy a house in Yanjing are definitely not from a bad family, and they definitely don't want their children to suffer too much.

"That's about right! The reason why I talk about this topic today is that I hope that all parents can think it over when they go back.

If you plan to let your child go to college, then you should pay attention to it now, and you must study hard at ordinary times.

I don't object to extracurricular tutoring. If there are students who are biased in one subject, it is better to hire a tutor."

Teacher Ding finally stated his ultimate goal.

As an old teacher who has been engaged in education for decades, she keenly felt that the era of "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge" seemed to be coming back again.

After the parent-teacher meeting, Xu Dong was specially kept.

"Dad Xu, I kept you here mainly to ask you about your future plans for Xu Ke and her sisters?" Teacher Ding said straight to the point.

Xu Dong touched his chin: "Teacher Ding, what do you mean?"

"Then I'll say it straight, Xu Ke and Xu Le are both smart children, but they are not stable and don't like to study, so their academic performance has not improved.

If you and your wife still have expectations for them, then I can cooperate with them and manage them more strictly at ordinary times."

The reason why Teacher Ding is so dedicated is that she is somewhat utilitarian. The previous gift left a very deep impression on her.

Xu Dong shook his head: "No need, I don't have high expectations for them. As long as they don't learn bad things, I can accept everything else."

"Okay, I will guide them more in this direction."

Teacher Ding expressed understanding. After all, the other party's family conditions are there, and the world is in chaos now, so it's not bad to be ordinary.

"Thank you, teacher. I'll leave Xu Ke and the others to you."

"You're welcome. I'm their class teacher. These are what I should do."

Teacher Ding had classes next, so Xu Dong didn't stay long. He went to see the sisters Ke Ke and then left the school.

After returning, the eldest niece was playing with the triplets in the yard, and Ma Xu was watching TV alone in the living room.

"Uncle, you're back."

"Well, how are you and Xiao Xu's transfer procedures going? When will you go to school?"

Xu Dong came over and picked up Dabao, patting his little butt gently. The little guy was naughty again. He was pulling his cousin's hair with his hands just now.

Ma Lingling smiled and replied: "The transfer procedures have been completed. I will go to Langfang No. 8 Middle School, and Xiaoxu will go to Langfang No. 6 Primary School. Classes will start next Monday."

"Is the school far from home?"

"No. 6 Primary School is right at the entrance of the community, and No. 8 Middle School is not far away either. It only takes five or six stops by bus."

No. 8 Middle School is one of the best high schools in Langfang. If it weren't for Ma Lingling's strong grades and some connections, ordinary people would not be able to get in.

Recalling what happened at the parents' meeting, Xu Dong earnestly warned:

"Lingling, the college entrance examination will be reformed this year. It will not be so easy to get into college in the future. Don't relax on your side!"

"Don't worry, uncle! The teacher has told us about the college entrance examination. With my grades, there will be no problem getting into college." Ma Lingling seemed very confident.

After all, she went to the best high school in Luyang, and her academic performance has always been among the best, so of course she has the confidence.

Xu Dong encouraged: "It's best to get into Shuimu University. Its new campus is just across the street from my uncle's house. You can save money on food."

"Then I will definitely work hard. I like eating the food cooked by my grandma the most."

Ma Lingling was excited. Even for the "big fish and meat" of my uncle's house, she would risk her life to get into Shuimu University.

At this time, Xu's mother just came back from outside. Hearing what her eldest granddaughter said, she couldn't help but curiously asked:

"What are you two talking about? What about eating the food I cooked?"

"Grandma, my uncle asked me to apply for Shuimu University in the college entrance examination. If I pass, I will come to my house every day to eat." Ma Lingling explained.

"Come on, grandma will make delicious food for you every day, and I guarantee that there will be meat every meal." Xu's mother waved her hand, full of generosity.

"Seven meat." Dabao followed and made a noise.

Xu's mother immediately took her eldest grandson from her youngest son's arms and gave him a big kiss: "Okay, grandma will cook meat for our Dabao later."

"Oh, seven meats."

As she said, Xu's mother cooked a big bowl of steamed pork with rice flour for dinner, with fat and lean meat.

The family ate happily, and Ma Xu finished half a bowl of fat meat by himself, his mouth full of oil, and Xu Ting couldn't stop him.

The triplets also ate a lot of lean meat, but they didn't dare to eat fat meat for fear of diarrhea.

Unfortunately, the frozen pork bought before the Chinese New Year has been almost consumed, and the remaining pork can't be eaten for a few days.

Next, they can only eat bacon and ham.

Xu Dong plans to take advantage of this weekend to go out again. Although the chance is slim, it is better than doing nothing.

...

Then the next day, March 4, Saturday.

Another big news happened in China. After the Great River, the Yangtze River, the longest river in Daxia, also completely stopped flowing.

This stoppage is the result of the combined influence of natural and human factors.

First of all, in the upper reaches, the glacier meltwater that has been flowing for a whole year has gradually decreased since the beginning of the year.

The total flow in February was less than half of that in normal years.

This is the fundamental reason for this stoppage.

Secondly, due to the sharp decrease in water flow from the upper reaches, the Chuanxia Dam has gradually reduced the number of times it opens the gate to release water since the beginning of the year.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

The Chuanxia Dam itself is a large reservoir, and the water surface is covered with sunshade equipment to reduce evaporation. Unless the reservoir is full, it will not actively open the gate to release water.

Finally, all the states along the way are frantically scrambling for water, with a total of tens of thousands of pumps working almost 24 hours a day.

Especially Ezhou, Xiangzhou, Wanzhou and Pozhou, these four states are the most brutal because they are not near the sea.

This is the most direct reason for this stoppage.

The suspension of the Yangtze River announced that Daxia had officially become a country without water, and it also marked that the drought had taken a big step forward.

The impact it brought was much greater than that of the big rivers.

To give the most intuitive example, this suspension of the flow directly led to a new round of eastward movement in the vast inland areas.

At the same time, the outbound flow also reached a historical peak. Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong were even forced to close their ports due to the double influx of people entering and leaving the ports.
