Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I can check my results tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. I'm so excited because I can foresee that I can get good grades this time! In the evening, my homeroom teacher called me and told me to tell her as soon as I get the results! She kept telling me, and I kept reassuring her over and over again, and I was getting a little impatient. In addition to the homeroom teacher's calls, I also received calls these days from people claiming to be teachers from Jinghua and Jingda's admissions office. They said that I had excellent grades and must apply to their school, and how great their school was. There are so many scams now, I just treated them all as scammers and hung up the phone. They kept calling, and I kept hanging up.

The next day, I took a day off from the supermarket. Since I had nothing to do during the holiday, I found a summer job at the supermarket in town. I woke up early and waited anxiously for 11:00. When it finally arrived, I logged into the website, but perhaps due to the large number of people checking, the website crashed and I couldn't access it until 11:30. Then my homeroom teacher called to ask about my grades. I told her I hadn't logged in. She asked for my admission ticket number and password, but I refused. I had to be the first to see my results; no one else could do it for me!

Just after midnight, I finally logged onto the website! As it slowly loaded, my grades slowly appeared! Chinese: 136, Math: 150, English: 150, Physics: 110, Chemistry: 100, Biology: 90, Science: 300! Total score: 736, first in the province! I screamed with excitement, went downstairs, told Mom and Dad the good news, and showed them the results.

My parents, both honest farmers with limited education, read over and over those few lines of tiny words. My father excitedly said he wanted to kill a chicken to celebrate. Mom said one chicken wouldn't be enough; we needed chicken, duck, fish, and meat. I quickly stopped them, saying that the results were only out and we hadn't yet filled out our applications. It wouldn't be too late to celebrate after we were accepted. My parents agreed, but they still thought this good result deserved a celebration, so Dad told Mom to kill a chicken.

Mom and Dad couldn't contain their joy and pride, spreading the news of my success everywhere. After all, no one in my family had ever gone to college, and I'd landed first on the test. It was such a source of pride! While I was excited, I also thought about my previous score before the time travel: just over 400 points, barely even making it to a first-tier university. Dad was disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Thinking about this completely different result, I couldn't help but cry. This was the result of three years of hard work, and it was also the result of God giving me another chance, and I seized it! I changed the trajectory of my life! I changed my life!

News spread quickly in the village. Within a day, everyone who could walk in the village knew that I had ranked first in the college entrance examination. The news even spread throughout the surrounding area, and people from the town government came to my house to confirm and congratulate me.

I took the top spot in the province, with perfect scores in every subject except Chinese. I set the highest score in the school's history and became our first provincial science champion. The principal, grade director, and homeroom teacher all called to congratulate me personally, and everyone in the class group also congratulated me. To show their gratitude, I sent a 100-yuan red envelope to the group. Even the supermarket owner, upon learning I was the provincial champion, became even more friendly, telling everyone he met that a champion had arrived at his supermarket!

I filled out my application under the guidance of my teacher. My first choice was the computer major at Jinghua University. Since I am a farmer's child, I need to learn a skill to establish myself in society instead of studying business management. My family doesn't have a business, and I don't have enough connections to get involved in the financial circle, so I firmly chose the computer major. Moreover, the next few years will be a good time for the computer major to flourish, and I must seize the opportunity!

As expected, I was accepted into Jinghua University. This news sent shockwaves through my hometown, as I was the first person from our town to be admitted! I received a 10,000 yuan reward from the town! On the day I received the acceptance letter, my father and other relatives slaughtered a pig and threw a feast at home for the entire village.

At school, I signed my acceptance letter, took a photo, and wrote a message to my junior classmates. Because I was the top student in the province, I received scholarships from various organizations. These scholarships were enough to cover my four years of university. I was thrilled, as I had never seen so much money before. Even as a laborer before my time travel, I had never seen such a large sum. I calculated that it would take me six or seven years to save up this amount. And now, thanks to my excellent grades, I have received this money. Knowledge has truly changed my destiny!

I looked at the purple notice, reading every word on it. This is my notice. From now on, I will be a student of Jinghua, and I will go to Yenching to study in September. Excited but also a little worried. I was born and raised in the south, accustomed to the southern climate and food. Will I be able to adapt to the food and climate there in the north? The Internet says that the smog in Yenching is serious and the prices in Yenching are also high. Moreover, bathing in the north is done in bathhouses. As a southerner, can I get used to it? Thinking of the bathhouse, I feel a little regretful. I really can't imagine so many people bathing together naked. It's so embarrassing!

At the same time, there's something else that makes me sad. Because I got into Jinghua, I won't have to go to Goode University, and I won't meet Li Dan and the others. They were my best roommates. My life trajectory has changed since I got into Jinghua, so I might not see them again in the future. I might end up meeting someone new. Thinking about this makes me a little sad, after all, we've been together for four years.

No matter what the future holds, I will continue on with determination. My original trajectory has slowly changed, which means more unknowns and challenges await me. I will definitely rise to the challenge!
