Chapter 36 Chapter 35 Winter at Quinn College

As time went by, Anne's homesickness gradually faded away.Of course, there is also a reason why I can go back to Yabangli every weekend.Taking advantage of the good weather, the students from Yabanli will use the new railway branch line to go to Carmody every Friday evening.Diana led the young people from Yabangli to meet them, and after a meeting, everyone went back to Yabangli lively. In the afterglow of the golden sunset, the yearning lights of Yabangli are clearly visible in the distance. On the way home on Friday evening, being able to walk on the autumn hills was the happiest time of the week for Anne.

Gilbert Bryce often walked with Ruby Gillies, and he even carried Ruby's schoolbag, Ruby turned into a decent lady.She had fantasized about being a real grown-up, when in fact she had grown into a big girl.As far as her mother allowed, she kept her skirts as long as possible, and although she let her hair down when she returned home, she kept it up in the city.Ruby had big, bright blue eyes, smooth skin, a well-proportioned figure, a jovial, laughing, and fun-loving personality. "I can't even imagine what Gilbert's preferences are." Jenny whispered to Anne. Actually, Anne thought so too, but she was still too embarrassed to speak to Gilbert.However, Anne couldn't help but think how pleasant it would be to have a joke with a friend like Gilbert and talk about reading, studying and future things.Anne knew that Gilbert had great ambitions, but felt that it would be a little inappropriate for him to talk about them with Ruby Gillies.

For Gilbert, Anne has neither a trace of hatred nor a trace of love now, just reconciled with Gilbert, it doesn't matter how many other friends Gilbert has and who he is with. Is it a good thing? Annie is quite talented in making friends.She had a lot of girlfriends, and gradually Annie realized that she should meet some more boyfriends to strike a balance in communication.In this way, in terms of looking at and thinking about problems, isn't the thinking broadened?Especially when returning to Abangli, after getting off the train, if Gilbert and Gilbert can go home along the vast fields and paths covered with ferns, wouldn't they be able to talk about the new world unfolding in front of each other and their respective hopes? Have you had a nice conversation with Aspiration?

Gilbert has his own views on things. He hopes that he will grow into a smart young man, absorb more useful nutrients in his life, and at the same time contribute everything he has to the society, so that his life will be more meaningful. Ruby had told Jenny she couldn't understand half the things Gilbert told her about him.Ruby thought Frank Steckley was handsome and funny.But if you want to talk about a handsome man, you have to say Gilbert. Ruby can't tell which of the two is better. In the college, some like-minded friends gradually gathered around Anne.They are all quick-thinking, imaginative, and energetic female students.Among them, Anne has the best relationship with "Red Rose" Stella Maynard and "Fantasy Fan" Priscilla Grant.The fair-skinned, fairy-like Priscilla is actually a prank-loving girl full of jokes.Stella, who is full of vitality and black eyes, is like Anne, with restless moods, restlessness, and loves to have some fantasies and illusory dreams.

After the Christmas holiday, the students in Yabangli were all devoted to their studies, and they would not go home every Friday. The students also gathered together according to their abilities and interests, and each class formed a corresponding personality and characteristics. Although none of the graduate students would like to admit it, the truth is the truth.It can be said that the candidates for the gold medal are basically determined to be three people, namely Gilbert Bryce, Anne Jerry, and Louise Wilson.There are six contenders for the Ebrey scholarship, all of them are of equal strength, and the outcome of who will win is unpredictable.It was as difficult to guess as the bronze medal in mathematics was won by a big-headed, squat, strange boy in a patched coat from the outback.

Ruby Gillies won first place in the Academy pageant that year.Two-year student Stella Maynard was crowned Belle.Even Anne has some enthusiastic supporters.Ethel Moe's hairstyle was unanimously considered by the examiners to be the most fashionable hairstyle.In addition, Jenny Andrews, who is ordinary and inconspicuous and always studies hard, won all the awards in the family science course.Even George Pai has been dubbed the worst-mouthed woman in the academy. It can be said that the students taught by Mr. Stich are very promising wherever they go. Annie is still diligent, down-to-earth and diligent in studying, and her rivalry consciousness with Gilbert is the same as before, but the revenge and resentment of the Yabanli era have disappeared.After defeating Gilbert, Annie will have a sense of satisfaction in achievement. If she is defeated by Gilbert, she will also think that the other party is great, and the narrow mood of not wanting to live once she is surpassed has disappeared. Nothing left.

Studying is hard work, but there is joy in it.Anne often went to the seaside forest when she was free, and usually had lunch there on Monday.Going to church is mostly with Miss Barry. Although Miss Barry admits that she is getting older, her black eyes are still piercing, and her mouth is still so eloquent.However, Annie has not yet experienced her sharpness.Anne respected and liked this nagging Miss Barry from the bottom of her heart. "This Anne seems to be becoming more and more obedient. I am tired of other children, all of them are the same, and there is nothing new. Anne is different. She is constantly changing like a rainbow. Whenever I look at Seeing her, I feel full of joy, I think it is still fun when I was a child."

Unknowingly, spring came quietly again.Although there is still snow in Yabang, the hawthorn tree has spit out new shoots in the field of withered trees.There is already a piece of greenery between the forest and the canyon. In Charlottedam, however, the students had little time to notice the change of seasons.They were talking about the exam all the time, and the graduate students were running around in a hurry. "Unexpectedly, it will be the end of the school year. Last autumn seems like yesterday. From now on, I will be immersed in my studies again, and I will take the exam next week. Sometimes I feel that all the exams are pressed up, which makes you feel a little tricky. I can't stand it. But seeing the buds of the chestnut trees have bulged so big, and the sky is so gratifying, I feel that everything is not a big deal." Anne said to Jenny who came to her apartment.said Ruby and George.For the three of them, next week's exam is too important, much more important than tree buds and rainbows.Annie, who doesn't have to worry about failing, may take the exam very lightly, but she is calm, calm and fully prepared for everything in the future.

"I've lost seven pounds in the past two weeks." Jenny sighed and said, "It's useless to take reassurance pills for myself, and I'm still worried. In fact, it's not a bad thing to be worried, and it will give you the motivation to study hard. If you commute back and forth to school all winter, spend a lot of money, and still don't get your certificate, that's a shame. " "I don't care," George interrupted. "I won't pass the exam this year. I'll take the exam again next year. Anyway, my family allows me to do so. Anne, I heard from Frank Chotkeley that Professor Terry Mayland thinks that the gold medal must belong to Gilbert, and the Ebrey scholarship seems to be very important." Emily Creil is none other than that."

Anne smiled. "To-morrow, George, I might be bored. But right now, I don't care a bit. As long as you think of the dazzling purple flowers blooming in the not small depression below Green Gaybruzzi, and the fluffy little heads of ferns popping out on the 'Lover's Path', I just felt like it didn't matter to me whether I won the gold medal or the Ebrey Scholarship, I did my best.I now finally understand the meaning of 'hardworking joy'.Failure is not a bad thing. After failure, cheer up and work hard to win victory is the happiest. "I think we'd better change the subject. Look at that light blue sky over there on the roof. What kind of sky is that over the purple and black fir forest behind Albanli at this moment?" "

"Jenny, what are you going to wear to graduation?" Still Ruby was more realistic. "You always talk about fashionable topics." Jenny and George criticized Ruby with one voice. At this time, only Anne stood in front of the window, clasping her two hands and resting her cheek.Looking at the dome-like sunset sky on the roof and the spire alone, weaving a dream like a future flower in my heart.
