A group of people immediately rushed up to the second floor and followed the sound to Myrna’s bedroom. This is the scene they saw –
Jenny was seen sitting on the ground with two bags beside her. When she saw everyone rushing in, she immediately burst into tears and kicked her legs.
No different from a shrew.
” Jenny , what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your mother.” Lynn rushed over and squatted beside her, “Come on, let’s get up first … ”
“I won’t! If Myrna doesn’t apologize to me today, I will never get up!”
Myrna sneered: “Okay, then you can sit on the ground, or lie down.”
“you–”
Lynn’s eyes tightened: “What are you apologizing for? Tell mom what happened?”
“Mom! Myrna hit me-”
“What?” Lynn’s eyes widened and she turned to look at Myrna , “How could you hit someone?”
“I’m so sorry. I heard some noise in the cloakroom when I returned to my bedroom. I thought a thief had broken in, so … But I also want to ask, why did Sister Jenny appear in my room and make that kind of … rummaging noise?”
As she spoke, her eyes swept over the two bags on the floor.
Lynn’s expression changed several times, “I see … your sister Jenny must be curious, so she touched your things, but you shouldn’t hit others!”
Jenny when I hit her . I thought it was a thief. After all, who would go to someone else’s house and rummage through the cabinets … ”
Lynn gave her daughter a glare.
Jenny didn’t dare to look her in the eye and pursed her lips guiltily.
Clara smiled and tried to smooth things over: “It’s all a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly, then … shall we go down to the living room? Prepare to eat?”
At this time, a cell phone rang.
Elton was close, Myrna : “Dad, help me get it.”
“Okay.” When he picked it up, he accidentally touched the answer button and pressed the speakerphone button dramatically, and then everyone heard –
” Myrna , have you checked? What’s your score? Is it high enough to get into B University?!”
Joanna ‘s voice is clear and crisp.
Everyone was stunned.
” … Myrna ? Why aren’t you talking? Can you hear me? Hello?”
Myrna reacted and immediately took the phone: “I was just about to check, something unexpected happened.”
“Never mind, check the score first! This is more important!”
“good.”
After the call ended, everyone stared at Myrna , including Jenny, who was sitting on the ground, rolling around and refusing to get up .
Elton swallowed and said carefully: ” Myrna , what score do you want to check?”
“Graduate school entrance examination written test scores.”
“You took the postgraduate entrance examination?!” Clara’s surprised voice rang out.
“Um.”
Lynn raised an eyebrow: “At your age … you ‘re still taking the postgraduate entrance exam?”
“There are many people in their forties who are still taking postgraduate entrance exams. I am not too old, am I?”
“Uh! Why did you suddenly think of taking the postgraduate entrance examination?”
“Oh, just for fun.”
Lynn : “???”
“Are the results coming out today?” Jane smiled, her eyes falling on the laptop not far away. “It looks like Myrna was about to come up to check the results, but she found Jenny there too … Just explain the misunderstanding, we are all sisters. Jenny , get up.”
Jenny rolled her eyes and realized that she would be in the wrong if she continued making such a fuss. After hesitating for two seconds, she decisively backed down and stood up.
but–
“Since we’re checking the results, why don’t we let everyone see it? My sister is so talented, she must have won.”
Is it so easy to pass the postgraduate entrance examination?
And I just heard on the phone that he still wants to take the B University entrance exam?
Does Myrna really think she is the same Myrna from before ?
It’s been so long since you graduated from college, and you still want to pick up your books again?
dream!
When the scores come out, she will be embarrassed!
Jane : “After hearing what Jenny said, I am also a little curious.”
Charlotte curled her lips and said, “Yeah, everyone is so curious. Myrna , why don’t you check it out? Let us all take a look. There’s no need to feel so burdened. It doesn’t matter if the score is high or low, whether you pass the exam or not.”
Clara glanced at her daughter and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Myrna smiled and said, “Okay.”
A group of people gathered in front of the computer. Myrna had already entered her admission ticket number and password. Now she only needed to tap the Enter key to see her score.
“Dad, come on.”
Elton : “Me?”
“Well, didn’t you also help me check my college entrance examination scores?”
“Okay.” Elton rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, and pressed Enter.
The page jumps, gets stuck, and shows that it is loading.
Everyone held their breath.
One second, two seconds …
“It’s out! It’s out!”
Total score: 412.
Lynn pulled Jenny , who was in a daze , and asked quietly, “What’s the total score? Over 400 doesn’t seem too high … ”
Jenny moved her lips, but no sound came out.
“Why don’t you speak?”
Jane quickly put away the surprise in her eyes and smiled slightly: “Sister-in-law, the total score is 500. With this score, Myrna should be ranked in the top three? The first place is also very likely.”
Lynn’s eyes widened after hearing this, “Does that mean … she got into graduate school at University B?!”
Charlotte had a blank expression on her face: “Strictly speaking, the postgraduate entrance examination consists of two rounds: a written test and an interview. Just looking at the written test results alone, there are still many variables.”
Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, how could Myrna easily get into B University and rank in the top three …
Jane smiled and continued, “But the written test score accounts for a large proportion of the total score, so not many people will be eliminated in the interview. Myrna has already stepped half a foot into University B. Congratulations.”
Elton was still confused. His daughter who hadn’t been home for six years not only came back, but also gave them a villa and was admitted to graduate school?!
This was the knot between father and daughter. Elton felt that she should not waste her talent, and that studying for a master’s degree and a doctorate were planned and necessary paths.
But Myrna gave up her master’s and doctoral studies for a man. This was a big blow to an old father who had painstakingly raised his daughter for more than 20 years.
Now, everything is complete …
“Thanks.”
Jane : “Now Myrna is the most educated young person in our Wagner Family . That’s great.”
Jenny’s face darkened.
Lynn also tightened her lips.
Charlotte : “Let’s wait until we get the acceptance letter before we say that.”
The meal was eaten in unprecedented silence.
Everyone at the table had different thoughts in their mind. After eating, they didn’t want to stay any longer and left one after another.
…
The 20th day of the first lunar month is Clara ‘s birthday.
The days of rain and snow stopped, new buds appeared on the grass, and the whole yard became more lively.
Clara doesn’t like sweets, so she didn’t order a cake.
Myrna bought flour from the market and made a bowl of longevity noodles for her.
The gift was chosen long ago, a set of out-of-print original books.
She searched for a long time before she found it on an obscure foreign book website. It took her half a month just to send it over.
