Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the incident where Jia Zhangshi demanded meat, she has stopped mentioning nutrition. Now, she is content as long as she has something to eat and has stopped causing trouble. The whole compound has become much calmer again.

Inside the side room of the Sun family home, Lin Wencui was chatting with her children.

Tomorrow is Sun Zheng'an's middle school entrance exam, so he is currently packing the items he needs for the exam.

"Zheng'an, are you sure you don't want your parents to come with you? Don't say they're being unfair to you later."

Lin Wencui said from the side.

"No need, my brother is going tomorrow! It's fine as long as my brother goes, you guys go to work."

Sun Zheng'an said nonchalantly.

Lin Wencui knew that accompanying her child to the exam wouldn't actually improve the child's score, but it could soothe the child's heart. Since the child wanted to go and his brother was going, she would let him go.

"Alright, since that's the case, Mom and Dad won't go. You should go to bed early."

After Lin Wencui finished speaking, she walked out, leaving the children chattering away.

...

The next morning, the entrance to Hongxing Junior High School was completely blocked by children and parents who had arrived one after another.

When the Sun brothers arrived and saw the situation, they had no choice but to squeeze towards the school gate. Every now and then, someone next to them would shout, "Slow down, slow down, you're stepping on my foot."

Seeing this, the school leaders immediately increased security, and in no time they opened a passage, allowing the two brothers to squeeze in.

"Alright, Zheng'an, go in and take the exam. See that big tree over there? I'll be waiting for you there when you come out. Good luck!"

"I understand, thank you, bro!"

The two didn't talk much, as there were simply too many people and they couldn't stand there talking for long.

After watching his younger brother enter the school gate, Sun Zhengguo pushed his bike and went to the big tree.

Arriving under the big tree, Sun Zhengguo parked the car and sat in the back seat, pondering where to go for a drive. He didn't want to wait here all morning.

"Jung-guk, we're here so quickly. It seems riding a bike is still the fastest way."

The sudden sound interrupted Sun Zhengguo's reverie. Sun Zhengguo subconsciously turned his head and saw a fat, big face looking at him with a grin. Who else could it be but his second uncle, Liu Haizhong?

"It's Second Uncle! This is Song Guangqi who came to take the exam."

"Yes, I'll go in first. You wait here for me, I'll be right back to talk."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he squeezed inside with his son, leaving Sun Zhengguo alone, sitting there with a bitter face, cursing inwardly, "Who wants to chat with you? Why am I so unlucky to run into this fat guy?"

Sure enough, Liu Haizhong arrived shortly afterward, and Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to awkwardly chat with him.

The two chatted for two hours until the first exam was over. Liu Haizhong promised to come back in the afternoon, but Sun Zhengguo brushed it off, saying he had something to do in the afternoon and wouldn't be coming. Then he took his younger brother and left.

After dropping off his younger brother in the afternoon, Sun Zhengguo quickly left, hoping to avoid running into Liu Haizhong again. Wouldn't it be better to wander around by himself and collect some treasures?

Three days passed quickly, and his younger brother finished his exams. Sun Zhengguo's task of accompanying his brother to the exams was completed, and tomorrow would be the day his own results would be released!

The following morning, Sun Zhengguo rode his bicycle to the school and saw the banner at the school gate from a distance, which read:

Good news: We warmly congratulate Sun Zhengguo, a student from Class 1 of Senior 3, for achieving the highest score in the city in this college entrance examination with a total score of 592.

Upon seeing the good news, Sun Zhengguo felt as if he had been through a lifetime. It seemed like he had seen a similar banner back in his third year of junior high school, with almost the same content. Three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

After a moment of stunned silence, Sun Zhengguo entered the school and saw a red victory notice posted on the wall, with many students gathered around it. Instead of joining the crowd, Sun Zhengguo went to the classroom.

When they saw Sun Zhengguo arrive, his classmates came forward to congratulate him, and Sun Zhengguo politely responded to each of them.

"Jung-guk, you won again this time! How did you even pass the exam? I can never catch up with you!"

Zheng Wenhua said dejectedly.

Seeing his friend Zheng Wenhua's state, Sun Zhengguo didn't know how to comfort him and could only sit silently to the side.

A short while later, Teacher Zhao entered the classroom with a big smile on her face. Seeing Teacher Zhao's expression, everyone knew that the results must have been very good today, otherwise the teacher wouldn't be so happy.

Teacher Zhao took out a list and said happily.

"Everyone knows about Sun Zhengguo. He scored 592 points and got the top score in the city, bringing honor to our school and our Senior 3 (1) class!..."

"Clap clap clap..."

After Teacher Zhao finished speaking, there was a round of applause from the audience. Only after the applause stopped did Teacher Zhao continue speaking.

"In addition, our student Zheng Wenhua achieved a total score of 568, ranking fifth in the city and second in the school. Please give Zheng Wenhua a warm round of applause to congratulate him."

"Clap clap clap..."

After the applause stopped, Teacher Zhao continued his lecture.

"Finally, I want to talk about our class's results. There are 49 students in our class, and 33 of them achieved the required scores this time. Now I will read out the list: Sun Zhengguo 592 points, Zheng Wenhua 568 points, Chen Lijun 526 points, Liu Jianshe..."

The students below the stage cheered when their names were called, and waited anxiously when their names weren't called. When the teacher called the last person, the students who didn't pass all hung their heads in dejection.

Next, the teacher guided the students to fill out their college applications. To Sun Zhengguo's surprise, Zheng Wenhua also applied to Tsinghua University.

After everyone had filled out the forms, Teacher Zhao distributed certificates of merit, outstanding student certificates, graduation certificates, and cash rewards. Of course, only Sun Zhengguo and Zheng Wenhua received the cash rewards.

After all the papers were handed out, Teacher Zhao announced that everyone was officially graduating today.

It's another season of farewells, and the students are saying goodbye one by one. Sun Zhengguo is no exception. After saying goodbye to his teachers and classmates, he made an appointment with Zheng Wenhua to meet at Tsinghua University before riding his bike home.

When he got home, only his younger brother was home. Sun Zheng'an knew that his older brother's school results were released today, so he hurriedly asked.

"Hey bro, how did it go? What score did you get?"

Sun Zhengguo smiled and said smugly.

"It's alright! I got 592 points, barely making it first in the whole school, and accidentally got first in the whole city. But you can't compare!"

"ah!"

Sun Zheng'an was stunned. "It's alright," "barely," "accidentally"—are these words used like this? What does "can't compare to you" mean?

"Brother, you're kidding me. You have to make it up to me. I want to eat meat for lunch. My heart is broken and needs nourishment."

Sun Zhengguo was prepared for his younger brother's "unreasonable" request. He took a cloth bag off the back rack of the car, handed it to his brother, and then said...

"Look, is this enough to replenish your nutrition?"

Sun Zheng'an opened the cloth bag and saw that it contained meat, chicken, fish, and some vegetables. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and shouted, "That's enough, that's enough, hehe!"

The two brothers had a quick and easy lunch. After finishing their meal, Sun Zheng'an took a stroll around the yard and inadvertently revealed a bombshell piece of news.

Sun Zhengguo got into university!
